ANOTHER DISASTER.
Two Freight Trains Wrecked and
Six Men Killed.

TROY, N. V, August L. Two Troy
and Boston freight trains had a collis-
sion this morning at Pownal, Vt. The
locomotives and cars were wrecked.
The wreck il on fire. There were six
persons killed in the collision. The
names of four are: Mark Sutherland
and Charles Mnrden, engineers, of
Troy John Barrett, conductor, of Troy,
and ii. A. Bruce, operator of Troy and
Greenfield Railroad, State Line
Twelve cars are burning.
Engines have been sent to the scene
from this city and Hoosick Falls. Mr..
johnson, the night operator at Peters
burg junction, is blamed for the col
ision. He had been given orders to
hold one train at the junction, and ne
elected to transfer his instructions to
the day operator, who, in his igno-
rance, allowed the train to pass.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Aug. L.
Two freight trains on the Troy and Bos-
ton road collided this morning, between
Petersburg junction and Pownal, VT.
Several Elen were killed. The COLI
sion was caused by the neglect of r. W.
johnson, telegraph operator at Peters
burg melton, to obey the orders of
the train dispatcher to stop one train at
his station. One train had A. cars and
the other % The engines were driven
into each other, and 80 cars were eleva-
ted and piled one on top of the other,
while some of the cars fell in the Hoo
sick river. The wreckage Immediately
took fire.
About five minutes afj Ell the crash a
passenger train, with four cars all filled,
was due, and brakeman with his
hands, face and head bleeding went out
and tagged it. The trainmen aud pas
Sengers on the train at once set
about rescuing the unfortunate men I'M
der the freight train, hut it was SO hot
they could do but little. Among the
killed were Charles Mardon, Of Troy,
engineer Of freight No. John Barrett,
of North Adams, conductor of freight
No. 5; Mark Sullivan, OF Chatham, en-
gineer of train No. b and Thomas
Lane, brakeman of train No /. II. II.
Bruce, of Pownal, operator of the Troy
and Greer field road AT the State Line,
was also killed. The groans Of the men
can be heard under the wreck, but on
account OF the fire they cannot be res
cued. If II ey have SO far escaped
death they stand chances Of beingburn-
ed alive. The losses of the Troy and
Boston Road cannot be less thanSj0, 900.

Captain William p. Joy, master Of the
American ship st. Nicholas, of New
York, was presented with handsome
tea and coffee service of silver yesterday
by Collector Robertson at the Custom
House. The silver was gift from Her
British Majesty Queen Victoria, and
was intended, according TO a graceful
note from the British Minister at Wash
ington, as a slight recognition from Her
Majesty of the heroism of Captain Joy
in rescuing from death the captain and
crew of the British bark Lenox.
Captain Joy, who is only thirty years
of age, with the modesty of a brave
man, was so disinclned to talk of his
own gallant deeds that the Herald re-
porter had to 90 elsewhere for the story
Der last the Scottish bark Lenox, from
Glasgow, took fire at sea, Off Cape Horn,
near the Falkland Islands, and was
burned to the waters edge. The Captain
and crew-twenty-five persons in all
were in great peril and would have
been lost had not the American ship
came to their rescue. BY great prompt
ness and bravery on the part of Captain
Joy and his men boat was launched
in stormy sea and all on board the
burning vessel safely taken off,
Capt. Joy has distinguished himself on
other occasions also by risking his own
life to save others. Once, when his
ship lay in the port of Liverpool, a
child fell overheard. The American
sailor, who CHANGED to he by, sprang
into the water and under circumstances
of danger to himself, brought the little
one safely to shore. For this he was
decorated with the gold medal of the
Royal Humane Society. On another
occasion Captain Joy rescued IA passen-
ger who fell overheard at sea.
When Captain Joy presented himself
in the Collectors office yesterday in
answer to Mr.. RoDeltson's 81 umons
he was accompanied by II gentleman
from the shipping house of William
X. Grace 81 Co., who was obliged to
vouch for his identity, the Captain
seeming to ba reluctant to any parade
of his own performances that he had
to have aspokesman.

Last Saturday night the Pennsyl-

President was a passenger, had just left
the Gunpowder bridge, some sixteen
miles north of Baltimore, on its way
south, when there came crashing
through the plate-glasss window of the

Railroad Company,in which President
Arthur twas seated, a stone nearly
as large us an egg, which struck the
hagman. Charles Sparks, on, the left
cheek. The President, at the time, was
about midway the car, some ten feet
behind where Mr.. Sparks was sitting,
the Presidents messenger, Aleck,"
being between them. Perhaps this
will be claimed as the tultilment of the
