Collision on Brooklyn Elevated Road Is Be-

pending more thorough investigation to-day was
responsible for the collision between two elevated
trains OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in
Crescent-st.. Fulton-st. East New-York. at
an early hour yesterday morning. Had the train
which was struck by an empty train contained
more passengers the accident might have been more
cut by flying glass. Both trains were drawn by en-
gines which ara sometimes used at night on the
East New-York lines. A Lexington-ave train
bound for the bridge, had just left the Cypress
Hills station. There were not more than twenty
passengers aboard. and most OF them were IN the

Sargent were laid to rest in the local
cemetery this afternoon. The esteem in
which he was held as public man was
evidenced by scores of letters and tele-
grams that began to pour in upon the
family as soon as his death was an
lJMnced. There We're kilograms of
coincidence from Secretary Shaw and
Congressman Cousins as Washington.
from his former associates in the state
senate and the republican committee
and from business associates, editors
and other public men from all portions
of Iowa.
Though the day was stormy a very
large concourse OF neighbors and
friends gathered at the Presbyterian
church to honor his memory. A private
service attended only by the members
of the family and few friends was
held prior to the public service. The
body was escorted to the church by
Captain Sargent's old comrades of the
G. A. r. Thirty-slN veterans preceded
the funeral car. most of them bowed

With 11.600 left over last night and
$1,000 fresh receipts there was a big

increase, going almost steadily from
210 pounds the opening week of 1908
to 259 pounds In September. Receipts
