 Ferdinand Ward i'm Jail-The Grant Boys Probably to Appear Before the Grand Jury.
 NEW YORK, May 22.-At 5:30 D. m. Depu- ty Marshal Brown was directed by Arrest | Clerk MeGonigle to take his prisoner Ferdi- nand Ward to Ludlow street jail. The news was communicated to the prisoner and Ward broke down for the first time since he has been in custody. He wept bitterly for several minutes, then by strong effort he recovered himself. He was conveyed to the custody of Jailer Kiernan. It is said Wards incarceration was hastened by the representation of certain counsel to the grand l jury in order to make an attempt at escape 1 impossible. At the Windsor Hotel tonight the impression is general that the Grant boys will also be required to give evidence before 1 the grand jury as well as James D. Fish, who l still keeps his house in Brooklyn.

Kennedy, Toronto, back injured not seri- ously. The other passengers, the seven cars being full, were not injured to any ex- tent. There is no cause given for the acci- dent The damage to the cars was not great and traffic will be delayed only short time.
 The injured were brought to the city on a l wrecking train, which was dispatched t6 the scene immediately. It appears that the freight train struck the sleeper diagonally. The following were also injured: T. T. Adams, Erie, Pa, arm sprained; Prince Tsmatska of
 Japan, arm bruised-he with his suite were
 on their way from San Francisco; Levy Lyons and wife, Boston, the lady badly injur :. ed in the side; Charles Talmadge, Meriden, Ct;
 T. l. Castleton and George Scott, St. Louis. slightly injured. Definite information as to
 the cause of the accident cannot be obtained, but report is current that the watchman
 at the junction was not on
 duty. After the accident he came up to the scene and exclaimed in
 the hearing of the crowd: My God, I
 hope no one has been killed" The infer
 ence is that he knew of his mistake. The
 wounded are doing we'll and at the present
