BAILBOAD COLLISION. A Freight and Passenger Train on the Air Line Road Collide—Superintendent Bishop Injured. e New Haven, Conn., Nov. 4, 1874. This morning, near Northiord, on the Air Line Railroad, a collision took place, causing damage amounting to about $5,000 and severely injuring Mr. Bishop, Superintendent of the road, The freight train, which leaves this city at six o’clock, collided with an extra passenger train on its way from Middletown to this city for the purpose of carrying tne State Railroad Commis- wioners over the road. The engineer of the extra train expected to be able to reach the side track belore the freight train arrived, but as the latter was ahead of time, the collision took place. There was A HEAVY FOG in the valley at the time, which explains the rea- son why the engineer did not see tne danger. As the trains cume together, the superintendent of the road, Mr. Bishop, Was standing in the cab of the engine, looking through the window, and the shock of the collision forced bis head through the glass, cutting bis iace and bruisiug nini seriously, All trains were delayed two hours by tlie acci- dent.

The Paris journais of the 25th of October an- nounce the death of M. Coulon, the French singer, at the age of fifty-three. He made his début at the Opéra Comique on August 25, 1851, in the part of Atalamuc in the “Fée aux Roses.” He was one of the best pupils of Gaicia, and, having already sung in the provinces, had just signed an engagement for Straspurg, when NM. Perrin conceived the idea of attaching him to his theatre. A forieit was paid, and Coulon came out at Paris. He remained several years at the Opéra Comique, where he created, among other parts, that of Jacques in the “Chateau de la Barbe Bleue,” an opera by MM. de Saint Georges and Limoander, which bad the misfortune of being first represented on the Ist of December, 1801, that is to say, on the very eve ol the coup a’ctat. Coulon at last passed over to the Grand Opera. and played there Bertram in “Robert le Diable,” Saint Bris in the ‘Hugue- nots,’? created the part of Satan in the “Hercu- laneum,” and appeared in other important parts, He left that theatre at the end of a few years and went to Brussels. He two years back married Mile. Leviellt, formerly a favorite singer at the Grand Opera in secondary parts, with whom he fe an artistic tour in the United States. He lately returned to Paris in bad health, and bis malady terminated fata’ Martin Van Buren Wilcotson. The above-named gentleman, a nephew of the late President Van Buren, died in London, Eng- Jand, on the 17th inst., at the age of forty-five years. He expired at the house of Mr. Adam Badeau, Consu! General of the United States, from the effects of an attack of Bright's disease of the Kidneys. Mr. Wilcoxson was a citizen of New York and vastly esteemed.

AMUSEMENTS. Italian Opera—Mile. Albani’s Mignox. Mile. Emma Albani appeared last night ior the first time as Mignon in Ambroise Thomas’ opera. It was a very remarkable impersonation, as un- like those of her two predecessors as can be. It was characterized by natvet?, childitke sweet- ness, exquisite singing and that nameless charm of magnetism which is the chief attribute of genius. From the time that the ili-1reated child appears among her gypsy abductors until she awakes to a realization of her true position in her Italian home, throughout the scenes of Mig- non’s checkered life, her meeting with her father, who Wanders in search of her, crazy cn account of losing ner, her rescue from the brutality of her gypsy master, her love for the gallant gentleman who gives her ireedom, her jealousy of the scher- ing actress who treats human affections and sul- ferings with a like indifference, her despair when she finds herself abandoned, her bright dreams of home and her joy in finding herseif with her lover and father, never more to be separated, all those changing phases of the story were inter- preted by Mile. Albani with a power that drew ail its attractiveness from its complete natural- ness. We missed many of the “effects” that in certain scenes have been brought in to insure ap- Plause, but in their stead was something more valuable—true art. The romance, which seems to give @ definite musical coloring to the titie rdle, “Non conoset il bel aol,’ was rendered with much feeling by Mile. Albani. We would prefer, how- ever, @ more liberal use of tempo rubato m this beautiful aria, The conductor's baton times should be subservient to the prima donna. ‘the duet, “Leggiadre rendi- nelle,” 8 number worthy o! Mozart, was partly nul- ied by the shortcomings of the basso, although the prima donna gave entire satisiacuion. In the second act th tyrieune,”’ the most popular and most dasning number in tne opera, became the Principal feature of the periormance. Mile. Albani’s acting and singing in tuis scene de- served tne applause that rewarded her and bore ont to the fullest extent the high anticipa- tions formed of ber Mignon. She was gay without being boisterous, and romped throu; the acene without making use of studied por wna points, The scene betore the castie on the shore of the lake, in which Mignon, distracted wita jealousy while listening to the triumph or ber rival in the thearrical performance witnin, moans the words, “Ella & ld, presso a tut! viitorioso elia qgode,” brought out the warmth ot dramatic expression so eminently possessed by our American prima donna in ite brigntest form. The last scene was ful of hy ines 11-9 power ana tenderness. The Mignon of Mile. Albani may be regarded a3 a very touching operatic impersuna- tion, and Will be attractive to all who took for an unexceptional school of singing—a swee", sympathetic voice, personal attractiuns, and artlessness of manner. Mile, Heilbron proved to be tne best representative of the coquetssh actress, Filina, we have had in New York. The light, brilliant music of the role seemed to suit her better than any she has heretoiore essayed during the present season, and in the well known “Polacca’’ she gained an encore. Miss Cary made the most of the stupid rdle of “Federico,” and sang the rondo gat in the second act commendably. Signor De ini created a very lavorable impres- sion in the rdie suglielmo (Wilhelm Meister), of G and song the two airs, “Addto, signon,” and “Ah! non credea amMittta,” with neatness and expres- sion, reminding one very much of Capoul. His act- ing, however, did not by any means reach the same standard, The Lotario of Signor Fiorini was aestitute of an: 5 og that could recommend It to praise, an ine Giarno of Mr. Hall was a very lerocious portraiture. Certain slips iu the chorus and orchestra marred their otherwise com- mendable periormance. The opera can never be pleasing to 4 musical mina out of ita congenial sphere, the Opera Comique, where it was first produced just eight years age ‘The Italian recita- tives are poor substitutes for the French dialogue and the common themes 1p which the -chorus 1s introduced are beneath the dignity of the grand opera, “Mignon” on the Opera Comique stage in Paris and on the Italian opera boarcs represents a very diferent work. Yet such a performance as that Mile, Albani presented last night would tend to give attraction to even a worse opera. “Aida” will be given in Brooklyn to-night, with ey Cary, Carpi, Vel Puenti and Fiorini in the casi Stadt Theatre—Upera Bouffe. The season at this spacious establishment was commenced last night under exceedingly favorable auspices, not only in regard to the character of the entertainment or the number of persons in attendauce, but chiefly on account of the desirable changes recently made in the interior of the build- ing. Heretofore the Stadt Theatre bas had strange terrors jor the timid, because of the limited means of egress in case of accident, while its palmiest days could never boast much in the way of architectural upholstering or scenic at- tractions. It was in every sense & theatrical wilderness from which it was no easy task to go abroad. A judicious expenditure and a consider- able amount of taste, have, however, worked wonders, and last might the theatre wore quite acheeriul, bright and animated Jook. What with handsome and appropriate decorations, new scenery, and, above all, increased means of en- trance and exit, the Stadt Theatre has undergone transformation which must be very acceptable to its numerous patrons. The artistic attraction consisted in the first appearance of Miss Lina Mayr, who is said to be a great tavorite in Germany in opéra bouge. She essayed the role of Boulotte in’ “Barbe Bleue,” and was supported by several performers who have already appeared in German opera in this city. Miss Mayr, to begin with, has the all-important advantages of good looks and a comely figure, and has evidently studied with care | the necessary points which contribute to thé success of an opéra vouffe artist. Her voice, while calling jor no special comment so tar as strength and volume are concerued, is sweet and flexible, and answers ali the purposes which & part like Boulotte (demands. But her acting is jull of that vivactty, dash and abandon without Which it would be impossible to portray the rol- licking rdle of the giddy headed shepherdess. In- deed she left little to be desired and the entnusi- astic demonstrations which grected her ettorts proved she tad made quite # favorable impres- sion. The choice morceaux waica tall to Boulotte she rendered with artistic Onish, und during the venta, ane was Called repeatedly be- 1ore the curtain, Her success was altogetacr as- surred, although opcra boujfe in German would hardly commend itsel! to those whose ears are familiar with the sparkling dialogue im the lan- uage which, of ali others, can best convey ine spicy thougots of joyous though irreverent writers. Blue Beard wascreditably represented by Herr Schttz,as were the parts o1 King Boveche Ly Herr Wilt and Clementine by Mrs. Wilt, while Popolani had an admirable interpreter in Herr Scndnwoif, The chorus was very Jair and the piece handsomely placed on the stage.

The Fifth Avenue Theatre. Mannah Cowley’s sparkling comeay, “The Belle’s Stratagem,” was presented last night at this house with the care and completeness which has distinguished Manager Daty’s revivais. In order to suit modern tastes considerable alterations have been made, with excellent results. The piay is by no means a strong one tn point of interest, but the sparkle of its dialogue 1s refreshing after the efforts of the writers of modern comedy.

Mr. Tennyson, who had not been to a theatre forr ten years, went up to London to witness Mr. Irving’s performance of “Richelieu,” and was so pleased with it that he invited the actor to his house in Surrey, where, during his brief holiday, Mr. Irving stayed two days. The farewell ceremonies in honor of Miss Cush- man, supplementary to the play at Booth’s Thea- tre, on Saturday evening, will be of the most re- markable character. Mr. William Cullen Bryant has signified nis intention to deliver the address, and the illustrious tragedienne wili respond in person. Mr. R. H. Stoddard, the poet; President Roberts, of the New York College, and Jadge Jono R. Brady will also be participants, surrounded by members of the Arcadian Ciub, the managers of all the metropolitan theatres and the more prom- inent ladies and gentlemen of the thea- trical profession. The two lower pro scenium boxes of the theatre will be occupied by the committees of the Arcadian Club and Army and Navy Club, the latter headed by Major General Hancock. In the Arcadian box will be Governor-elect Tilden, Mayor-clect Wicknam, Governor Dix and others of equal Prominence, The boxes will be magnificently decorated. and the front of the balcony circle will also be tastciully ornamented. Downing’s Ninth Regiment Band 1s not only to lead the street pro- cession, but will perform in the theatre while Miss Cushman is preparing for the reception. The ont-of-door arrangements are now per- fected, and wil! be novel and imposing. Koster & Greene, agents of the Messrs. Edge, have gra- Uultously contributed all the fireworks, and the pyrotechnic display tn front of the theatre prom- 1ges to be one of the finest ever made in this city. There will be two magnificent set pieces placed in front of Masonic Hall. Besides the arcadian Club, the scenic artists of New York will join in the procession. The interior of the theatre will be artistically decorated, and the entrance on twenty-third street transformed into a bower of evergreens. The neigbhoring houses will display the national colors, and it may well be antici- pated that the appearance of the locality, on the exit of Miss Cushman by the stage door, will pe one of the most brilliant and animated ever wit- nessed in the metropolis, BISHOP BACON DYING. Return of Distinguished Roman Pre- lates from Lurope—Bishop McCloskey’s ‘Welcome. - At about four o’clook yesterday morning the French steamer Pereire, from Havre and Brest, came to an anchor of Sandy Hook, the fog being too dense for the pilot to bring her up the bay. Among the disappointed people on board her was the venerable -and Most Reverend Archbishop McCloskey, who was desirous of reaching shore as s00n us possible on account of thesickness of a bro- ther prelate on board the ship—viz., Bishop Bacon, of Portland, Me., who was about breathing his last. Towards the afternoon the atmosphere having be- come brighter, the steamer came up to the Nar- rows, where she was boarded bya HERALD re- porter. On the upper deck were seen a dozen or more of French priests, walking to and troto warm themselves in the chilly air, THE aROHBISHOP. Archbishop McCioskey was found on deck also, leaning against the rail, looking the picture of health and talking with Father Barry. After a pause in the conversation the reporter addressed himself to the Archbishop and requested that he would tell him about the increased illness of Bishop Bacon and also about hia own travels, &c. The Archdishop then said:—‘l lett here with Bishop Bacon last August, and have veen forced to return home about a month sooner than I otherwise intended; but the impossibility of trans- porting the Bishop to Havre by rail made me de- cide to take the French steamer from Brest, the Peretre being the last vessel this season to leave Brest for New York, the company not intending to call there aoy longer.

The seiection oi Mr. Louis James jor tuo role of Dort- court was not very happy. ‘the cuarac- ter is one suited to @ light comedian, and Mr, James’ talents are decidedly better siown in heavy parts. Asa result there was too much of the melodramatic element in Mr. James’ Doricourt and too little ol the charming badinage which be- comes his character. In every scenc Mr. James was in earnest, which somewhat damped the fun of the piece. Miss Davenport as Letitia Hardy acquitted herself with credit. she portrayed the moods of the heroine witn tntelit- gence und dash. Few of her periormances have been better rounded or more satisfactory. Miss Jewett as Lady Youchwood was ingeonous and sentimental. The Sir George Touchwood of Mr. Parkes was @ well cousidered and effective inter. | pretation of the honorable, but jealous-minded gentleman sketched by the author. The rematn- ing characters were acceptably filled and the per- formance passed off with fair success. “I'he Belle’s Stra‘agem”’ will be preseuted during the week.

Wa political circles yesterday the main topic of conversation was the Croker-O’Brien im- bregiio in the Twenty-first ward. It even engaged Mare attention than the result of the election itself, especially in the ward where the two mei: who are mainly mentioned as having partict- patid in the méle are so well Known and followed by two distinct sets of adherents, who practice 2st devotion to their respective chiels. Among the O’Brien men the general feclng resolves ‘eaif into rough abuse and profanity; while the other party asserts itself in logical argument and dem onstration. A ts usual in all affairs of this kind, where two polvidcal factions engage in a free fight, the real trat's of the affair in all its details will never protably be fally known. Even those most 10. terested from being present can scarcely tell o succinct story, and a dozen different people give a d¢8en different versions of the fight. In all the fiat: contradictions, exaggerations and misstate- metfs which are being made it 1s excessively hang to get at tne exact facts. But ami-ist all this falsification several things are patent—first, that O’Brien’s men had been committing numerous personal assaults and out- ragus in Second avenue, and that they did not Tigtitfully belong im the district; second, that Cra‘ker, in spite of grave personal abuse, did not strike the first blow; third, that, amid the con- traclctory statements made by all parties and the nur serous shots fired, it is exceedingly doubtial wivo fired the shot that killed McKenna. 34; will be of course the province of the coroner’s jary to sift all the mass of testimony tnat ‘wil | be offered on the inquest. AMONG THE O’BRIENITES. Yjou cannot find an O’Brien man but that says he believes Croker fired a shot, and that some on) Of the shots fired killed McKenna. Even those who were not present at the fight say that Cn oxer did it, and that the ex-Sheriff was entirely free of all intention of wrong-doing, They state in ssubstance that Croker went about with the pur- poise Of intimidating those who opposed him, while O'lirien was simply attending to his business as a ca adidate and took the part ot his friends when he found them insulted by the Tammany men; that Croker then strack James O’Brien in the face au d the row began, and pistols were used freely by the Tammany men; but that, of course, they ug ed none themselves, They protest that none of te Kooy men had pistols and would soorn to em. Ure ch AMONG THE OROKERITRS, @n the other hand the Croker men, who were in the mélée, do not devy pulling out revolvers. They stmwply say that they were four sues filty, and that when they found their opponents ueing fire- al ‘ms against taem they drew fortn their own, ex- ct pting Croker, wno had none, and at each assault oi the crowd made them start back by presenting thiem in their faces. ‘they all agree on one iact, however, that while they all faced toward tbe crowd on the sidewalk McKenna fell behind them, aud must have been shot diy accident by one of his own party. They say tihey did not dare turn around from the generat attack and did pot know of McKenna being shot st all until ali was over, excepting ope Sheridan, ‘rho says that when McKenna fell the dying man's Diead strack against the back of his lez, but even {inen he did not know he was shot and only when izoing away suw him give a See dpe idt fd as if efying, and noticed some bicod trickled over his \face to the ground, THR STATION It would appear that s06n as the row was over and McKenna, still ave and unconscious, d been carried to Bellevae Hospital, Croker and ds went to the station house in Thirty- to preter 8 complaint against O’Brien, and battery. Sergeant Christie was at the desk and heard Croker's complaint. As this King place O’Brien walkea in with his and made a complaint against Croker, of | aod battery, showing nis mouto, ; had been injured by the biow Croker had given him in response to his own to Croker. Sergeant Christie said that O’Brjen was injured snd Croker was not, and took O’Brien’s | complaint first, As these iormaiities were going | ‘alg, an O’Brien man, came rushing into the station house, crying, “Croker killed my cousio!’? Then, and not til then, did O’Brien change his simple charge of assault aud battery to. that ot murder. Croker protested that this was fulse, and said, “I never carried a pistol in my lite;” but the chavyge was taken apd Cro- ker ordered to acell. He then said, “Won't you take my charge against O’Brien?” but the Ser- geant said, ‘No, murder is worse than assault and Sattery.” Croker and his companivns were | locked upina cell until the arrival of a lawyer sent him by Joon Kelly, when be was brought up stairs again and taken to the Captain’s room, where he remained mn consultation wita bis coun- sel until Coroner Woltman arrived. WAS M’KENNA CONSCIOUS? The man Craig, who keeps a liquor saloon on Second avenue, and wiih whom McKenna | fe currency on the day of the stivot- | ing to @ deathbed scene in which the dying man ig stated to have sald that Croker had shot him. Craig at first said that McKenna stated that “either Croker or Sheridan had shot him,” but changed this alterward to ‘Croker’? alone. t somewhat singular that none but Craig saw McKenna in bis state of cun- sciousness, aud none but he has put auy death- bed statement in McKenna’s mouth. A HERALD Teporter asked two well known phystcians yes- terday about ti point, and they both stuted that if, as bad been printed, the ball had entered traversed it to the other side, It was very certain that McKenna was unconscious ‘until the moment he died. No man witha ball in his brain would be capable of saying a word just before death, but syncope would ensue immedi- ately upon the ball taxing effect. 1t was generally atsbelieved that McKenna had uttered the words attributed tohim, and Deputy Coroners Marsh and MacWhinnile were of the same opinion. WHAT CORONER WOLTMAN SAYS. Coroner Woltman spoke to the writer yesterday as to the abuse he had received for the action he 100K 10 relation to the shooting of McKenna. This | gentiema by Deputy Coroner MacWhionle aid & man named | Campoell that there nad been a riot in tne Eigh- n Assembly district and that several persons were shot. He was told the man wus at the Toirty-tita street station house. He went there USE SCENE. and found tne man wno was shot was not there, but at Bellevue Hospital. He went to the _hospit to take the wounded man’s ante-mortem statement, but found he was unconscious and had beer 80 since he was picked up in the street. He was iniormed that the man could not live, and he was unable to get any there said he could not be revived. He went back | to the station house, and on questioning ail the parties about the afray, the only positive state- | ment te could get was irom a policeman who aid he saw the pistol with which McKenna was shot in the hands of a young man named Max- well, who was sbown to have been miles away at the time o1 the shooting. O’Brien was Not present and made no statement to him, No- body present accused Croker of murder and he let him and the men that were with mm go on bail, alter consulting several lawyers and the statutes. Tt he had thought either of the men arrested had committed the crime, he would not have releasea them. But nobody was accused, in the evening, when he Icarned that McKenna was dead, he issued warrants and bad the parties rearrested and had the bail increased in each case, bat only to retain them as wituesses. CORONER CROKER. In conversation bed with @ HBRALD re- rter Coroner Croker said :— “The action of Justice Murray is not legal, be- cause the cage ts in the Coroner’s hands, and 1% should be left to him. Uf course, 1 have no desire (0 escape or anything of that kind; batIdon’s want to be locked up in a cell for several days when there is no necessity for it. 1 am now ander bail, and nothing can be gained by annoying me still juriher.

Lhe whole ‘Yhing has ‘not been done as it should have been. police are on O’Brien’s side, because he got nearly all of them appointed in this wi and they are his tools, But Sergeant Ohristie had no business to take O’Brien’s complaint and not take mine. it was because of this action of Christie that all the onns has fallen on me and so littic on him. O’Srien never thought of accusing me of murder unui it was suggested to him by Craig, who nas always been ‘one of his most ardent supporters. Tne Coroner, then coming, and finding us locked up and O'Brien gone, treated ua as criminals, and tacitly ad- mitted the charge against ns, though no one made prosence. The fact is, everybody should been arrested, and not ‘simply one affair. [ am fair mt that O’Brien fad no neither had 1.

I went to the station house once more aud told Captain Allaire the scenes I feared were occurring. He satd it 7] all right, and I responded that if he wool not stop it the citizens would. “You can do as you please,” and | went away. On the corner of Thirty-tourth street and Second avenue I met Borst and ‘tommy Costello, the prize fighter, and I went up to tnem and alvised them to be careiul what they cid.

None of the others who were with him bave been served with this warrant. SHEBIDAN’S STORY. The writer also saw John Sheridan, who was with Croker. Hetsasmall, spare man. He said that he only went with Croker to see that the men on the Tammany side were doing their work properly. He nad no idea of tiguting anybody. Croker stood all O’Brien’s abuse without any show of resistance until O’Brien struck him. When Croker struck back Sheridan says he du tunctly heard O’Brien say, “Now kill the sons of —,” and the fignt began. He and the two Hick- eye had revolvers, with whiten they kept the crowd of over flity people back. Oroker had notn- ing but his hands. Had they not nad revoivers they coula not have lived two minutes. All these snots, fired at them (and taere were about a dozen), might bave hit anybody behind tavm. It was wonderiul that they escaped. As for Hickey firing two shots at McKenna when he was 4 ickey Was a at deal too busy protecting himself in iront stop to shoot at adead man. All these stories contradic.ed themselves and were got up by O’Brien and his friends. Toe HERALD re porter saw several oi O’Brien’s iriends and the ex-bheriff himself and they repeated their stories Did day beiore. There was nothing new ip m. AUTOPSY ON M’KENNA.
