CuI0aGo, August 19, 1873, The Coroner’s investigation of the recent collision on the Chicago and Alton Railroad was resumed this morning. The principal witness examined was John Puffenberger, engineer of the coal train locomotive. His testimony showed that that particular train had been run in a careless manner on the night of the accident. He says that he looked at his watch upon arriving at Lemont and found that he had plenty of time to run to Willow Springs, fit; minutes and over. It was exactly nine o’clo —— byte leit Lemont. He told the con- ean, chat to Sag to take in answered, “All right: go occurred twenty minutes afterward. He then com- pared his watch with those of seme men on the assenger train and found it an hour slow. @ could not account for the condition of his watch; he would not have left Lemont if he had had the correct time; even though the conductor gave him orders he did not consider Bean ft to run any train. The witness detailed some conversation he had with Bean after the ac- cident, from which it would appear that Bean was totally ignorant o/ the time at which the collision took ‘place and the circumstances attendin, the catastrophy. Bean has not yet been arrested, but the police authorities are on his track. The general feeling throughout the city is that an example should be made of the engincer and conductor. A TRAIN IN THE WELLAND CANAL, HaMILton, Ontario, August 19, 1873. When the New York express train, at about 3.40 o’clock this morning, was approaching the Welland Canal swing-bridge, at Thorald, the water-guage glass in front of the flre-box of the engine burst, instantly filling the cab with steam and boiling water, 80 alarming the engineer that he jumped before bringing his engine quite to a stand, asthe law requires, before crossing the bridge. The bridge being open, the consequence was the engine and baggage car tipped forward into the canal. No one was hurt. The only train delayed was the morning express West, which was made two hours late. Another Version of the Accident. ROCHESTER, N. Y., August 19, 1873. The express train due here at seven o’clock this morning from Detroit, on the Great Western Rail- way, is in the Welland Canal, at Thorald. The train was drawn by two locomotives, and consisted of several baggage and express cars and an un- usual number of passenger coaches. ‘Ihe draw was open and was not observed by the engineer, and both engines and all the fe and express cars plunged into the canal, filling the chasm so that there was not room ence for the passenger coaches. It is reported that all the passengers and employés escaped injury. A BAILBOAD ACCIDENT IN PENNSYLVANIA. WILLIaMsPoRT, August 19, 1873, The Niagara express train which left here at five P. M. going east, and the Elmira mail train which left Harrisbarg at half-past one P. M., going west, collided at Montgomery!Station, fifteen miles east of here. It is reported only two passengers were slightly injured. BAILBOAD MISMANAGERS OENSURED. A Baltimore Jury Hitting on the Right Spot—How Passengers Lives Are Reck- lessly Sacrificed. BALTIMORE, August 19, 1873. The Coroner's jury investigating the cause of the death of George Allen, fireman, killed by an acci- dent on the Baltimore and Potomac Kailroad, near Lafayette station in this city, onthe a{ternoon of the 13th instant, rendered a verdict that Allen came to his death by a collision of passenger trains. The jury also found, from the evidence of smaplorte of the company, that the accident might have been averted, had either engineer —_ob- served the caution which common prudence and a due regard for the safety of the passengers would seem to have dictated; that in placing the New York express on the road alter it was twelve hours behind time, and aiter it had been aban- doned, evidences an absence of proper supervision. ‘The jury, therefore, censure the engineers for non- observance of caution, the conductor of the north bound train for not exercis'ng acioser supervision, and the management of the road for failure in this particular instance to issue requisite instructions 1n reference.to the delayed express train.

For the first day there are four races, three for the second and jour for the third, eleven contests in all, of a description that must bring from the well-filled stables around the Park many of the large number ofhorses there.

The first event on the card to-day isa hurdle race for @ purse of $600, of which $100 gocs to the second horse. This contest will assume a most novel character, as It is mile heats, best two in three, over four hurdles, a style of race not before witnessed, and one which must ceuse in- tense excitement and produce the live- lest speculation. Usually the races of this kind have been dashes, and, with Your money im the pool box in imminent danger, here was no chance to “hedge,” whicn now pre- sents itself, and is invariably gladly accepte by the ‘ boys” who were so unlucky as to “get wrong” before the start.

About three thousand persons witnessed the open, ing day’s programme at the Hampden Park Associa- tion races. The weather was very pleasant, but the track a little heavy from the rains of yesterday and last night. Some little delay occurred at the open- ing and the usnal trouble was experienced in get- ting the races started, otherwise the management of the day’s sport gave satisfaction.

Ninety-one entries have been made, many of them horses from other States: The premiums amount to $4,500. The city is full of horsemen, and the weather cleared off towards eve" ning, giving promise of a good track to-morrow. TORONTO RACES. TORONTO, Ont., August 18, 1873, The second day’s races were as successful as the first, if not attended by quite the crowd that graced the scene on the afternoon of the civic holiday. The first race was an open handicap steeple chase, two miles, and was won by Eden- ton, 145 Ibs., Jack the Barker second. The mile eat race, for Dominion breds, was won by Montreal, a son of Thunder; Mr. Patteson’s mily, by Terror, was second. ‘The Carlton Club Purse, $490, mile heats, open to ail, was won by War Cry in two straight heats, Jim | Connor, late Hilderie, second.

Ata meeting of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to-night the question of organizing o na- tional association, with a view to having a grand horticultural display on the occasion of the Centen- nial celebration, was discussed, and finally referred to a committee to conter with ‘the executive com- | et of the Centennial Commission, with power 0 YOUNG DESPERADOES. Charles Dempsey and Charles O'Neill, aged re- spectively fifteen and twenty years, entered the butcher shop of William Miller, corner of Forty- fourth street and Second avenue, last evening, and proceeded to appropriate the contents of the The Grand Opera House Opening—“A Midsummer Night's Dream.” A large audience gathered at the Grand Opera House last night at the reopening of the theatre and the revival of Shakspeare’s fairy spectacle, “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” The scenery was all well patnted, and the panorama at the close of the second act was a beautiful piece of work, seldom equalled in any theatre. The play is one of pecu- Mar construction, and the only fairy spectacle ever written which appeals at once to the imagination and the judgment. Setting aside the impossible Duke of Athens—ior Shakspeare did not always regard the verities—very fairly rendered by Mr. M. A. Kennedy, and the other minor charac- ters, all playea as badly as they gene- rally are, we have only to consider the three elements of the piece—the lovers, the fairies and the hard-handed men of Athens. Lysan- der was represented by Mr. D. H. Harkins, Deme- trius by Mr. James Taylor, Hermia by Miss Ade- Jaide Lennox, and Helena by Miss Nina Varian. The cast in this respect was excellent—a bit of general praise which may ripen into warm com- mendation of the artistic, The parts are all shght, and the two young ladies who represented the Athe- nian maidens are new to the stage; but Miss Len- nox especially exhibits promise of strong histrionic ability. The king and queen of the fairies were represented respectively by Mrs, Annie Kemp Bowler and Miss Fanny Hay ‘d, the acting and singing of both ladies giving satis- faction. But the Puck of little May ‘empiefon was particularly goo!—so srood, indeed, as to rank as the best charact tion of the part ever seen on the American stage. As @ partoi the fairy spectacle a ballet of filty children was introduced at the beginning of the third act. This was @ novel icature, and produced an ex- citement and merriment the ovallet seldom elicits. Tne great feature of tne fire, however, was in the players before the Duke. A stronger cast for this wondertul bit of absurdity could not be made. Mr. George L. Fox as Bottom was all his old self, and more. He was 80 heartily received that a delicate blush played on his cheek, and he was compelled to die five times as Pyramus_ before he was parted with. The Quince and the prologue of Mr, Hardenberg were very good, and commend him to the patrons of the Opera House as an actor of unusual ability, Mr. Leclereq’s “‘Thisbe, Mr. Jen- nings’ Wall aud Mr Kk. Fox’s Lion were all ex- tremely well done, ‘The late hour at which the performance closed makes a close analysis of the acting impossible; but the performance may be characterized in general terms aa one of the most worthy and artistic seen in New York for many a day, and it was heartily enjoyed by the multitude who witnessed it. The spectacle was preceded by the farce “Thrice Married.”” Musical and Dramatic Notes.

In his possession were found three similar checks ready lor use, besides @ quan- tity of Confederate money and imitation bank bills, evidently to be used in some swindle. His past history is unknown, but he is a cool operator. AN ALLEGED MAIL AND STAGE ROBBERY, SAN FRANCISCO, August 19, 1873, The mail stage, between Mokelumne Hill and Mokelumne City, was stopped by two highwaymen two miles from Mokelumne City. They robbed the passengers, took $4,000 from Wells, Fargo & Company's treasure box and destroyed the mail, apers and all other valuables. The oilicesr are i pursuit. The robbers are known. A WOMAN SENTENOED TO BE HANGED. Lovisvine, Ky., August 19, 1873, Fannie’ Bush, colored, cofvicted of the murder of her infant child in Harrison county, Kentucky, has been sentenced to be hanged on the 14th No- vember. It is stated the woman and her children were starving and that she drowned one of them 80 that she might be able to provide for the rest, LYNOH LAW IN MISSOURI Sr. Lovuts, August 19, 1873, Governor Woodson has issued a prociamation to the people of Callaway county stating that he has instructed Attorney General Ewing to assist Judge Burkhardt, of the Circuit Court, in investigating the lynching of Kessler last week. He earnestly appeals to them to render all the aid possible in the matter in the way of giving infor- mation which may lead to the arrest anc convic- tion of those engaged in the affair. He expresses a determination that the guilty parties shall be brought to justice, and states emphatically that any one Who can and declines to give information respecting the matter shall be treated as having participated in the crime. SUICIDE OF A WEALTHY, AGED NEW HAMP. SHIBE CITIZEN. MancHester, N. H., August 19, 1873, Charles Stark, @ wealthy citizen of Manchester, aged seventy-two years,a@ grandson of General John Stark, deliberately committed suicide last night by hanging. His sister, who acted as house- keeper, this morning, finding his bed undis- turbed, went into the barn, where she found him suspended by tre neck, dead. His feet were only @ few inches from the floor, and his hat, cravat and blouse were carefully laid aside. He resided on the old Stark estate, a short distance above the Amoskeag Falls. In 18584 he was a State Senator, and has occupied other prominent positions. This event creates great ae as Stark was @ cool, clear-headed man, methodical in business and highly respected by all who knew him. The settlement of an estate by him recently hsonpteete some litigation and the care of bis own property are the only causes assigned for the act. AMERIOAN SCIENTISTS. PORTLAND, Me., August 19, 1873, The most distinguished scientists of the country are beginning to assemble here in anticipation of the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which opens to-morrow morning. A BROOKLIN DEPUTY SHERIFF ASSAULTED. James Nesbitt, Jr., of No, 47 Sbhermerhorn street, near Boerum, Brooklyn, was arraigned before Police Justice Walsh yesterday for assaulting Deputy Sherif Thorn. Nesbitt is a young man avout twenty. years of age, and was formerly engaged in the manufacture of cigars at his resi- dence, in which business he frequentiy, as ts al- leged, engaged the attention oi the revenue of- cers. It seems that about a week or ten days since Mr. Thorn went to his ‘house for the purpose of servi} upon him & summons ina suit brought against him for the recovery of the amount of a promissory Note, Nesbitt took the summons and money drawer.

The New York Yacht Club Squad- ron in a Fog. START AND RETURN. The Racing Programme for the Week. Newport, R. L., August 19, 1873, ‘The efforts of the New York Yacht Club to reach Martha's Vineyard appear to be futile, as, al- though the flagship Alarm and the schooners Idler, Jesepnine, Clio and Eva started at about noen to-day te endeavor to pay the long-promised visit, the fog proved too dense and they put back to Newport. In yesterday’s despatch I told of the meeting of captains and the arrangement to sail the race for the Bennett Cups to-day. Towards evening, how- ever, several yacht owners intimated to the Rear Commodore that they wouid like very much to carry out the original programme—t. e., go to the Vineyard and sail the races on Thursday and Satur- day. As the Commodore was ef the same opinion, thinking that the invitation they had accepted should, tf possible, be carried out, a gentieman rowed around the fleet to ascertain the feeling of the captains. On inquiry from those on board tt was ascertained that about half were for sailing the race and others inclined towerds the Vineyard ; 80 the matter was left over to see how tle weather would be to-day. SECOND ATTEMPT TO REACH THR VINEYARD, At cight bells this morning the wind was about south-southwest, with some fog to windward. The Rear Commougore then called the captains to- gether, and on vote they decided to go tothe Vineyard if the fog lifted, and sail the races, as originally arranged, on Thursday and Friday. They, also decided, in case they did not go to the Vineyard to-day, to have races for the four and pair-oared gigs, for purses of $40 and $2u respec- tively, Athatfpast eleven the fog cleared up a Uttle, and the fagsnip Alarm ran up the signal to prepare to get under weigh, The schooners Made- leine, Tidal Wave and Tarolinta then senton boara requesting leave of absence. The Resolute also, was obliged to remain at Newport, as Captain A. 8. Hatch expected a guest from New York on the evening boat. The Foam and Palmer were unavle to go, as both Mr. Shepherd Homans and Mr. Stuy- vesant were in New York, The Columbia, as stated in a previous despatch, is hors Gu combat with a broksn gaff, The Vision ditto, with a leak in her rudder post, and the Vindex ditto, with her mast badly sprung. This rather reduced our fleet, and there appeared to be some truthin the re- mark made bya gentleman at Glen Cove, that ifthe New York Yacht squadron put into Newport they would never see Martha’s Vineyard. That remark was “ pooh-poohed” at the time, every yacht owner promising to go on to the Vineyard with the fleet. THE “‘ RXCUSED’’ YACHTS. Of these the Columpia, Vision and Vindex, being disabled, were of course unable to carry out their promise, and the Palmer had also a good excuse, as her owner was away in New York. But there did not appear to be any reason why the others should not bave carried out the pro- gramme. Mug-hunting appeared to occupy the attention of the majority, and some of the yacht owners were exceedingly anxious to sail the race to-day, when they knew such fast boats as the Palmer, Phantom and Madgie could not possibly be among the entries. It was also decidedly unfair to these yachts, alter the programme was once ar- ranged, to make such an important alteration in their absence, and thereby deprive them of the chance of competing for the prizes offered by Com- modores Bennett and Douglas. In future cruises the commodore commanding the fleet may profit by the past events, and, if desirous of making Martha's Vineyard, will not call at Newport. A stant MADE. At twenty-three minutes past twelve o'clock M. the starting signal was fired from the fagship rm and the fleet got under woigh, The schooner Clio had been tacking avout to windward, and got @ good start of the fleet, passing Fort Adams be- fore half the yachts had tripped theiranchor. The clouds had still a rather doubtful appearance, but the Commodore determined to go outside and see how things looked. The Evacame next, with her big main toomast towering aloft, and the Idler fol- lowed @ short distance astern. The yachts had to make short tacks out of the harbor, the smaller vessels going out by lda Lewis’, while the big keel boat Alarm ran out by the northerly entrance. In the harbor the breeze was about south-southwest, but looked like hauling round more to the westward. ‘The little Boston schooner Tempest followed aiter the Alarm, but after cetting out of the harbor started sheet and headed up the bay towards Prov- idence, Off the Dumplings the Magic bore down, and, hauling up on the wind, followed after the Eva. The ‘Tidal Wave came next, with the Idler olf her weather quarter. The Madeleine also made sail and game oul after the Idier, intending to ac- comp the Yachts as far as the lightship. The schooner Nettie followed after the Madeleine, bringing pr the rear guard. The Tidal Wave stayed off the Dumplings and crossed the wike cf the Idler and Magic. BEATING OUTWARDS. The Clio was now ofthe White Wash Rock, a mile to windward ofthe fleet. The Eva was mak- ing good play in the smooth water on the wind, and the Alarm was away off to leeward, beating out of the The Josephine was seen over avainst Goat Island working out of the harbor. Just as the Magic turned round, homeward bound, not liking the bank of fog gathering over Bate- man’s Point, the Alarm made a stretch to the eastward and tacked off the Madeleine’s weather quarier, and the Idler weathered the Tidal Wave. The Alarm stayed off the Fort and, passing the stern of the Madeleine, fetched out to Mackerel Cove. The Nettie turned round and went back to harbor. The Clio was now away oi the point, with sheets started, heading to the eastward. The Alice started back lor Newport off Bateman's, and the Tidal Wave made @ stretch across to give the Madeleine a | brush. The Eva and Idler were on the starboard tack, the former up to windward. The sun was now out and gave some hope of the fog clearing up. The Josephine was coming along behind, beating out of the bay and ioliowing alter the Alarm. At two P. M. the Madeleme and Tidal Wave turned round and started for home. The Clio was lying off the southeriy end of the reef waiting ‘or the fleet to come tp, and when the | Eva was off her starboard quarter she gave sheet | and started tor the Sow and Pigs Lightanip. The | breeze was south-southwest, aud the yachts were | steering about east by south halfsouth. The ldler | Was about @ quarter mije behina the Eva, and the Alarm came next, leading the Josephine by about three quarters of a mile. STILL FOGGY. Tne fog had now settled down on the land, but it looked toierably clear to windward, The yachts now set their jib topsails and staysails and boomed | along about eight Knots an hour. Shortly before three P. M. the fog commenced to come up from the southward, and settled down upon the littie fleet. P. A ANOTHER RETURN TO NEWPORT. The Eva, seeing the weather thicken, put about and started for home, and at twenty minutes past three, Rear Commodore Kingsland fired a gun from the Alarm and also start home. It was now so thick that the Clio and Idler were both out of sight; but the Commodore thought that by fring agun they would understand he had put back. Alter running back for about an hour with boom starboard, we heard the bell on the lightship, and shortly afterwards seeing the spar buoy on the en: of the reef down to leeward, made the best of ou! way into harbor. Inside the Wittewash Rock the fog became densely thick, aking day almost as biack a8 night. The lookout presently sung out, “Dumpling Rock ahead!" and, lufing up, we leit the og round rocks on our port hand, and after just sidling along the small round rock that is ex- posed at low water mace our way first rate, going in by the fort. In the harvor it Was very thick, 50 the captain let go the anchor when we were just ahead of the Paimer, and aiterwards dropped a lit- tie astern alongside of the Resuinte, The Eva had arrived a few minutes before, and the Clio came in about six P.M. The Idler did not arrive until haif-past seven P. M. The race between the Tidal Wave and the Magic for the Challenge Cup will probably be sailed to- morrow. Vachting Notes.

Collins escaped, but has since been arrested, and is now heid to await the result of Driscoll’s injuries, which are very serious, to say the least. Before throwing the stone Collins had repeatedly been stricken by Driscoll.
