Nothing very interesting transpired during the pro- gress of the investigation to-day, The case, as will be seen from the following report, is not yet concluded. All the sufferers at the City Hotel and elsewhere remain in the same condition as when last spoken of. Previous to the sitting of the jury this morning a private session was had, but what took place has not transpired. The following is a report of the inquest:— CORONER'S INVESTIGATION. FOURTH DAY. Monpay, Sept. 8, 1355, ‘The inquest was resumed this morning, at 9 o'clock, wher the following evidence was adduced:— Loyd Vanderveer, being duly sworn, deposed, that he resides at Camden. Q. Were you on board the 10 o'clock A. M. train from Philadelphia on Wednesday last? A. I was, Q. What car were you in? A. Inthe third one from the rear. Q. Who was with you? A, Col. Hampton and John Rogers. Q. Do you remember hearing the blowing of the whia- tle? A, Yes; the train then commenced backing. Q. Did you observe the speed you were going at when yon were backing? A, I did; it appeared to me as being greater than usual, but it did mot excite any fears on my part; ina few minutes after we commenced backing I felt an unusual motion—a jerking; a moment had hardly elapsed when I heard a loud crash; 1 said ina loud yoice to the passengers, ‘Sit still;’’ it was then that the car I was in suddenly stopped; I heard the whistle very dis- tinctly, as we were backing; I don't recollect its blowing twice; it may haye blown more than once; it was a very short time after the whistling that I heard the rumbling of the cars; I can judge of the speed of ears pretty accu- rately. Q. Can you inform the jury at what rate the train was backing on the day of the secident: A, I remem- ber talking : a friend of mine about that very fact just after the accident occurred, and I then safd the cars were going at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. Q. At what rate did the train advance after leaving Burlington’ A. At the rate of about twenty or twenty- five miles an hour. Q. How far were you from the crossing of the river voad when the whistle blew? A. I should say about three-quarters of a mile. Q. Do you know the conductor, Isaac Van Nostrand? 4. Ido: Tlooked upon him aa one of the best conductors in the employ of the company; [always thought him to be «ne tthe most vigilant and careful conductors on the road. Q. Do sou know the engineer, Israel Adams? A. Ido not. Q. Do you kxow either of the brakemen? A. I do not. Allen ‘Thompson, being duly aworn, deposed that be lived in Burlington county, N. J. ©. Were you in the 10 o'clock A. M. train on Wednes- st, from Philadelphia? A. Yes, Q. Wiut eur were youin? A. In the one next to the mail car, Q. Was that car injured at all? A. Yes. Q. Did you or did you not notice the speed of the train? (Question withdrawn.) Q. Just commence from the time you met the other train, and tell the jury what you saw up to the time of the accident * A. We met the New York train about the distance of « mile; I heard the signal to stop given; the whistle was biown in our locomotive to start back; I was under the impression that there was a curve in the road at this point; I looked out, and observed that we were aifll golng fast; I felt a slight shock or Jerk of the car, but thought {t was occasioned by dirt from the cross road; I then felt a jar, and immediately afterwards two others of greater force, and in quick succession; the passengers be- came alarmed, and made a rush to get out of the car, which was at this time runnng off the track, and was canting sideways; I should have said that I saw the con- duetor attempting to get hold of the bell rope. Q. Why did he not catch the bell r oethd eng! hnew, bet I sUPposva 1 oax cxUAeO rag: ments of the car interfering with him; when the passen- rs tried to get out ofthe car the conductor told them fo be quiet, as the danger was then allover; in a few minutes afterwards I got out of the car upon the embank- ment. Q. Have you been much accustomed to ride on rail- roads? A. Ihave. Q. At what do you estimate the speed the train was going at when backing. A. [should think, to the best of my judgment, it was not less than fifteen miles an hour, Qo Had the speed slackened any when you felt the first shock? A. I think so—at least it appeared ao to me, Q. Did you see anything of a horse and wagon! did not. Q. You say that you felt a slight jar when crossing the road? A. Yes; [thought there was a short curve here, andas they were going very fast at the time I took notice of the fact particularly, as I thought the speed was dan- CTOs, FQ How tong before you reached the crossroad did you hear the whistle? A. I could not exactly say; but there was sufficient time, in the interim, to allow'a carriage to get ourof the way should it be crossing the track at the river road at the time. Q. Are you interested, directly or indirectly, in the Comden and Amboy Railroad Company? A. [am not. Dean 8. Reea, being duly sworn, deposed that he re- sided in Burlington township. Q. Do you know anything about the accident that happened’ here on Wednesday last? A. Not much. ©, Did you see thenccident? A. No. Q. Did you see the car before the accident? A. I did. Q. Did you see Dr. Hunnigan’s horses and carriage? A. I did not ‘until after they were dead. Q. Did you see the train going up? A. I did; it was going quite fast. Q. How far above the river road did you see the train? A. About a mil Q. Well, what then? A. The down train and Philadel- ia train blew their whistles ; one of them, the latter, cked down towards Burlington, while the other went back also; I should think they were about one-third of a mile apart when they met; I don’t think I can say any more about the affair. Q; Did you hear the Philadelphia train whistle blown? I 2 Whereabouts? A. At Garwood’s crossing, or there- abouts. Q. Was it blown at the river rond? A. I can’t nt, that it was; I did not hear it, but it might have been blown nevertheless; however, it is my impressiou that there was but one blow. Q. How far is your house from the river roa? A. About half « mile. Q. Would you have been likely to have heard the whistle if it had been blown? A. [ would. Q. Where were you standing? A. At my front door, Q. How fast was the train back? “A. Very fast; I should say at the rate of about 25 miles per hour. Q. Did you make any observatisn in reference to the eat speed? A. 1 did, to my family, and also to some jaborers who worked for me; this was before I heard of the accident. Q. Have you any objections to state your conversation on that occasion’ A. 1 have stated about all that trana- pired. w mile. . Could # person on the river road have heard the histle in time to bave got out of the way of the trainy A. 1 uhink #0, Q. How long after the cars went past did you hear of the accident?” A. About an hour and a quarier. Q. Do you consider the crossing dangerous to one un- accustomed tothe locality? A. Ido not; Ihave crossed it perhaps @ thousand times a year, and never considered it dangerou: Q. If you were crossing the track and did not hear the whistle blow, could you escape without harm? A. If I was looking { suppose I could. Q. Ifa person was looking out for the train don’t you think be could check his horses in sufficien cape collision? A. I should say so; but this m the case on all oceasions, for on one oecasion w ing the track, we came Im contact with the cars before we saw them. Q. Do you recollect saying, when talking of the great speed of the cars, that there would be a «mash ap some of these days? A. Ido. Q. Why did you make the observation? A. On account of the unusual speed of the cars. @. You are in the habit of crossing the river road fre. quently, would you consider it safe to drive down that rod, and cross the track, going at the rate of ten miles an hour’ A. It would be rafe, if you had « team that would be able togo at that speed. ‘ Q. You don’t understand the question; would it be safe to cross the track going at that speed? ' A. It would, Q. Would it be as safe to drive at the rate of ten miles an hour, a4 to drive slow? A. It would be safer to drive slow. Q. Which train would it be most ous to meet with? A. A down train, if you were coming Into town, . Why do you consider an up train the safert fora cag bye ig down the road you t parallel with the track, and you can Fee the railroad, except (na few «pots where trees interrupt the view for a great distance. @. Are there not places where the cars are totally ob- seured? A. Yes. @. In coming down the river road, how far up can you ee the cars above the crowing? A. About a quarter of a mile. Q. How far down the river road, if you saw the cars coming down at the distance of half « would aad when the train crossed the river road? A. Al a quarter of a mile, if not lew. The cars, aya matter of course, would be'at the crosing first. 1t would depend alt upon the rate [was traveling at how near to the track I would be, but in any case cars, if travel- ing at the usual rate, would be at the croswing first.

A, This side of the crossing and the next 's house. ogee ¢ below Mrs. . ou know an, about this 5 a Q Well, state satintion wer A. AST gan E Rubee door I saw the cars backing down towards the crossing, and at the ssme time a wagon was down the river road so close to the track that I thought it would be struck by the train; the ides no sooner struck me than the train came alobg and caught the horses, which were pitched right off the track; I then thought from the appearance of the cars that they would run off the track right beside our house; so, being afraid, I ran into the back room; when I got there the cars run down the embankment gd were upset. Q, Did you hear the whistle blown? A. Not while the cars the horses were struck and just ashed. Q, The whistle was not blown at the crossing then? A. No, Q. Did you hear the cars whistling when they met? A. Theard the cars that were coming into Burlington whist- ling, but the cars that were upset did not blow the whistle until after the crossing was passed. Q. How fur up the road were the cars first when you saw them backing’ A. [can't tell the distance, but it was at the first hollow above Cook's house, Q. Was it above or below Price’s land? A. It waa a this side. Q. Where was the wagon when you first saw the cars A. T did not see the carriage at that time; it was only a+ it passed Cook’s house that I saw it, and’ then before [ could utter a rentence the cars struck the horsos and carried them along; the next thing I saw was the horses being pitched on one side and the wherts of the cars going off the track; that is all I know about the accident. Aletter was here read by Mr. Rogers, the foroman from Messrs. Fithian, Jones & Co., of Philadelphia, to Mr. Budd Sterling, one of ‘the jurors, requesting that the ef. fects of the late Mr. Howard, of Tennessee, would be de- livered over to Mr. A. R.

In the fleld at work. Q. Did you hens the whistle blow? A. I did. Q. On the backing traint A. Yes. Q, Where was it at this time? A.

Q. Were you at home on the day of this accident? A. Twa ; Twas in the upper fleld from the house at work. Q. How far from the railroad crossing is it to what is known as Garwood’s crossing? A.

Could you hear it as well from the field you were working in as if you were standing on the track opposite your house? A; Well, nearly so. I suppose, however, you can hear it better on the road. A. D. Chaleron, M. D., being duly sworn, deposed that he resided in Burlington, and was Clerk of the City, and as such, bad custody of the papers belonging to the city. Q. Have you here a contract between the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, the New Jersey Transportation Company and the city of Burlington? A. Thave. Q. What book is that you hold? A. The minute book of the corporation. Q. Is there a copy of this contract in that book? A. There is. What is the of the contrnet? A. March 12, the contract was concluded April 13, 1833. ‘The contract in Its original form was here produced by the Clerk, and be was about reading the same, when Mr. Hall, one of the jurors, rose and said he would like to know what the foreman’s intention wasin bringing be+ fore that body such matters? Ho knew vory well that the companies did not provide against accidents, an therefore, could not see the utility of reading such docu- ments. Mr. Rogers, foreman of the jury, then rose, and in re- ply to the question of Mr. Hall, suid, that inasmuch as rome of the public prints had pubifshed articles declaring that there was a State Jaw prohibiting the runnii cars Inside’ the” limits of ‘the elty’ of Burlingto at a rate of more than six miles an hour, ands such an impression was easily conveyed to the public through the newspapers, he brought these docu- ments into court for the purpose of removing this erroneous improxsion that might prevail among the pub- lic. The contract between first and second parties Fics the latter the right, on the annual payment of $100, to run thelr traina ‘ along Broad street {rom the east: ern to the western extremity of the city of Burlington,” The contract provides that ‘the pon f of all carriages travelling on said railroad whether projclled by steam or horse power, shall not exeeed six mil per hour in rasing through the raid city of Burling 0.” Mr, Hall ¢aid he was perfectly satistied with the ex- planatien. Mr, Rogers, in continuation, sald that although the city according to the surveys of Mr. Woolman, extendet slong Broad street one and-a-balf miles each side of High street, there was no act of the ture pro: hibitiog the running of cars throu city at a certain number of miles per hour, city ha o the right to the railroad company to use the + in question for the consideration of $190 per enr.
