PRRILLING NARRATIVE OF A PASSENGER. “Tot Go, Save Youtself, You Can't Help: Me.” RELICS FROM THE ASHES sien A Finely Formed Hand Burned Off at the Wrist. 5 Sct IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD. [Bx TeLzGRarH TO THE HERALD.) ' Asutancia, Jan. 2, 1877. The tardiness of a juror delayed proceedings beforo the Coroner until ton o’clock, when Robert C. Meln- tyre, a conductor, was the first witness. He testitled to the condition of the wreck a few moments afier the Accident; the débris was piled up im places from ten to fificen feet, the cars in the Middle of the train being all . smashed togethe: the firo burned with considerable volome for an hour reaching its climax in !ess than Atteen minutes; there were no means of putting out the fre and no efforts were made to do so; saw one man crawl from under the locomoiive about three- quarters of an hour after the accident; a very high wind prevailed at the time. THE RESTAURANT KEEPER'S EVIDENCE. The next witness was Mr. James L. Porter, who koeps a restaurant near the depot. The evidence was torroborative of McIntyre’s, Witness was of opinion the fire might have been quenched ut any time within Afteen minutes after it broke out, and that‘a fire steamer could have put it out entirely in a few minutes, The conductor stated to witness thut he had about 160 people on the train. The jury here took recess until one o’clock. After the recess James A. Manning, the engineer of thegtation water works, was recalled and examined as to the arrangement of the water plug at the enine house, .From this evidence it appears that there is a three-inch water plug in the engine house and that the hose of the Fire Department is the same diameter, but the threads on couplings ure not alike, and that the hose could not be used. Man- Bing, it will be remembered, testified yesterday that there were no appliances at this house for throwing water except the three-quarter inch host, which he explains by saying he did not think the hoso of the department would fit this plug, and ho was not aware that the department bad recently purchased and placed 500 feet of new hose in the engine house; he coula if necessary put on a pres- Bure of 300 pounds on the pump connected with this plug; ttdid not occur to lum, nor did any one sug- gestto him to use-the hose; had the hose been oa when he arrives the sceny he could have extin- wished the tire inten seconds; alterwara he could not uve put out the fire,-in bis opinion, im half an hour; on wis arrival the entire wreck was not burning; the Water Works? Pugime house is about 400 yards trom Lake Ene tire pouino tuse on the top of the hill; Manuing sald the complaints made by firemen were rather that they could not get down to the wreck than that they had been ordered not to go down. A WOUNDED PASSENGER'S STORY, At this point the testimony of Manning was Inter- rupted to onable Mr. White, a wounded passenger, to testily, andgas this interruption led to au unpor+ tant issue it is = mentione Mr. Henry A. White is a produce merchant, residing in Weath- ersileld, Conn., and was the duly person saved from the sleepipg car City of bufialo, Mr. White said he was scated in the second seat P from the rear end of the car, riding backward, anu had been asleep; he first heard and felt a jarring or thumpiug motion, as if the train were off tho track, then found himself hanging over ahe back of the seut, and experienced a dreamy sen- walion Gl going cown; it Seemed a loug time gong down, and then came the fesrlu) crash, end Mr. White was thrown upward; the car was now stauding on its forward end, and Mr, White found bimsell wedyed in among the déuris and doublea up completely; he thought it would be bo use attempting to extricate himself, but that hi must de; two crashes now followed, cau. d by the falling cars; when all was quict Sir. Waite ex- bricated himself and thrust his heal out of 8 window which be broke with bis fist, bu. could distingush 10 hing; he said aloud to vimse J, + We can get out of bere this ‘way,’? aud in response came from the dark chasw be- Jow ‘him the exctamatiun, Can wet” “Yes, 1 am out already,’? was the reply to this unknown voice; “is There going to be a fire’? was the next quest 01; “No.” “Then perhaps you can help me?” 0 ths | appeal Mr. White extended bis band, grasp ng that of wo uoknown and unseen party, and with tue ober hand holding on to some firm substance, and endeay- ored to pull the party up, but in this be failed; the person letung go bis bold sai’, u can’t get me, take care of yoursel!;”” by this time the fire bad broken out near each end of the wreck; Mr. White But out and swung hinsett on to the ground five minutes alter the flash ot fire had broken out, and in ten minutes it had epread over the entire wreckr the witness could remember that there were eighteen possengers in the Cily of Baflaio, Juding one or possibly two chiluren, and he beheved that none were saved besides nimec: Mr. White, in attempting to aid the man out of @reck, heard a lady srick, “For God’s sake save m: shila]? puede was impossivie 3 & most feariul wreck, und was broken more than any other tn the train, being a mass ot splint gone through the train severa! times, and w Opinion thut there were about 300 persons on tho train alter leaving Erie; the conductor of the siceping car had suid at Erie that the tram was getting so full that on additional car would be added at that place; a smoking car was added at Erie. A, WITSESS COMES TO GRIEF, At the close of Mr. White's testimony one of the Jurors, accompanied by the several representatives of ibe prese, went into a room below, in which a band Ore engine 16 stationed, and found by a trial that the tap of the valve or the plug ‘ived the old and the pew Lose in the bouse, notwithstanding Manning's posi- tive testimony to the contrary. Manning, Who bad completed his testimony when Mr. White took the stand, was then ask: “Did you try the cap vv the vew hos To which he replied he did, and repoated his statement as belore ven, He was thea sent down to try it again, and on is return he said:—*'l tind now on trying the cap from the Water Works valve that it its the new hose, and will fit tho old so that it can be used.” Tulse direct contradiction and palpable intent of nibg tO evade Some ol the points produced a very auiayorable impression, snd, with however little agon, it cannot but intensify the prejudice, already strong, existing against the company; and, be itr marked, thia witness evinced a shrewdness and ca fo giving his testimony that utterly precludes the possibility of an unintentional misstatement Manning further testitied:—Wheu I first got to the | wreck [ thought, 1!

IRON BRIDGES, To tux Evitor ov THE HeRati Will you allow one who has had over twonty-fivo years’ experience in bridge building, and who hus tor the last ten years been engaged In designing und con- structifg iron bridges, to say a few words sug- gested by your cditorial comments on the terriblo catastrophe ut AsbtabulaY ‘The questions of immedi- ate and vital interest to the public are as follows:— First—Can iron bridges be constructed so aa to be abso- lutely safe ¥ Accidents to bridges are of two classes—one when the tram Jeaves the rails and dashes violently against the Uridge and destroys it, Such are really accidents, and are dificult to guard against; but better precau- ons could be taken thun are now done, by placing the bridge entirely below tue track wherever possible, or, in other words, making a “deck” bridge of it, by the use of heavy stoue parapets on the abutments to break the force of the shock, and by the use of very heavy: and ® rong wooden ties under the rails, provided wik “guura rails,” Whose office is to continue the passage of the train to the centre of the bridge, even if off the track, This requires a strong fl.or and a very strong bridge altogether, yet there ure numbers of instances on record where trains have crossed bridges im satcty running on the ties, ‘The second clsss includes those cases where tho bridge “lies down,” as the phrase 12, under tbe dead weight of the train without any shock or biow upon it, This seems to have Leen the case at Ashtabula, und is falgely culled aus*uceident,” but it isnot, Iv is the in- evitable result, sooner or later, of bad design, bud ma- terial and bad workmanship. ' By looking at what are the requisites of safety we sball see that this must be 80. First—Good design, This implies scientiic knowl- eage tu proportion the sizes of the parts so that the Weight of the structare itself and thyt of the greatest loud What can over possibly come upon it sbuil not @traia the iron greater by dead loads thao one-fourth its ullimmate strength, by hive loads than one-eighth, und by live louds alternately of tension and compres- s1un LOt more than one-tweilfth of its ultimate strength. Besides this, mechanical skill 18 Wanted to combine all the parts into a whole, so as to make the wnole bridge As Strong us the parts of which it is compused, e old “deacon’s shay,’ immortalized by Lr, Hoimes, is an example of whata pertect bridge should be, It should break, if overlouded, in all parts at once. The socond requisite is zood iron. It should be made of a uniform quality of wrought iron, having great toughness and ductility us well as strengib. 1 have condemmed iron furuisbed for bridges that would sustain from 60,000 pounds to 70,000 pounds per square juch of dead weight, and yet be brite and snap like glass under x biow.” Uniformity of quolity i* of the highest importance, and this cannot be got except by rerolling, aini this tneans Ligh priced irou, ‘The use of cust iron should Ve contined to washers, jomt box and bed plates, all of compact and massive proportio: avd subject tO compression only, never as posts or chords.

The longest experience we have iu this country is that of the tron bridges on the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, somy sixty or seventy of which bave been in constant use since 1865, exposed to severe cold. They are in as good condition now as when built, We have tried to show that an iron bridge can be made sale and durable, ‘The third question is, Are they so made? and they are not They are, It depends on the skill and honesty As you Weil say, “they can be maue Yana in the long run the cheaper they te worse (hey will be, * ‘The earlier Iron bridges built in this country, with | some excepiiohs, show bad wesign, bud material and bud workmansuip.

Mr. Joseph H. Keane Inst night appeared at the f Broadway Theatre, tor the first time before a New York audience, im what the playbill calls his “wonderiul creation of ‘Rip Van Whkle’’? There was no Cvyidence whatever of creative faculty in the performance, which, on the contrary, was as close an imitation of Mr, Jefferson as it would gcem possible to make. Eveo Mr. McWade did not follow him so closely, Copies of great works aro seldom held in high estimation unless the copyist brings to his work something of tho spirit and = genius of the — originul. A painter with Titian’s feeling for color might reproduce a pic- ture by Titian, but as a rulo @ true artist in any art devotes himself to the development of his own ideas, When a copy is simply a copy, and merely duplicates and probably distorts its model, it is toulish to describe itas a creation, Mr. Keune bas followed Jefferson with the most affectionate fidelity. He imitates his manner, his methods, his voice,* his dress and his stago business, and never, that we kuow, in- troduced now points, though he omitted. sev. eral that are fine. Tho work was cleverly done, but the drawing of the forms was feoble, tho light ava shadow without deep contrast, the colors were faint. Rip Van Winkle, as played by Mr. Keane, ia a dim reflection on a misty muirror,, or hike a beautiful ure seen through the wrong end of an opera glass, diminished and blurred by distance. Yet, although tie performance hus not any original merit,! it i# pleasing und free irom coarseness or | exaggeration. Those who ave mnover seen Mr. Jeflerson as Rip would be likely 10 admire it greatly, and certainly it 1s more agreeable to look on a good imitation of a great model than on an arbitrary und bad creation. The audience was good and the applause was hearty, and sounded like an echo, of tho past, The play had its share in this sucecss, for how often docs not the actor appropriate the tribute which 1s really pala to the author? ‘The performance of the company was earnest and satistuctory, Gretchon vigorously sculded Rip; the enchanted Datchmen in the Kaatskills were grotesque and ghastly, the viliaing of the story were almost us villanous as they should be, and the noble sailor rescued the old man, to the im- menge delight of the Loys in the gallery, THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, MEETING AT THE CENTURY CLUB TO PUSH THE EaECTION OF RARTHOLDI'S MONUMENT— MR. EVARTS TO APPOINT A COMMITTEE, A mecting of prominent gentlemen was beld last night in one vf the large rooms of the Century Club, to devise means for the raising of subscriptions toward the orection of Mr. Bartholdi’s colossal statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World.’” On the motion of Mr. John Jay the well xnown Mr, Evarts was called on to. preside, Mr. Richard Butler acting as secretary, Among the gentlemen present were Mr. F. Coudert, Judge Hilton, Mr. Pinchot, Mr. Joseph Choate, Mr. Henry F, Spaulding, Mr. Samuel D. Babcock, Mr. Algernon 8, Sullivan, Mr. Clark Bell, Mr. W. H. Appleton, Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, Mr, John A. Weeka, Mr. J. Seaver Page, Mr. John T. Denay, Mr. Samuel Avery, Mr. Ed- ward Moran and Mr. Jobn Moran. Considerabie in- terost was excited by Edward Moran's fine painting, “The Commeres of Nations Paying Homage to Liberty.” ‘This work is remarkable for its mussive- ness and brilliancy, It occupied a place on the wail be- hind Mr. Evarts’ chair and appeared to great advantage, It was akind of visible embodiment of the proposed movement, which as yet has not taken any very ma- torial shape in this country, The effect of the picture was further heightened by the reading of a poem o, remarkable force and power, written by Mr. Jobn Mo, rap, a namesake of the artist, and which wus suggested vy the picture. In the poem Liverty is depicted in colors that will please her most ardent worshippers and America hatied as her best beloved daughter, the ret- uge and protectrees of tho wretched and oppressed. Mr, Seaver read this poem with fine effect, A COMMITTRE ON SUBSCRIPTIONS, Returning to the practical object of the meeting, It was stuted that to erect the proposed commemorative monutnent it would be ‘necessary to raise a sum of $129,000 im America, while a similar sum would have to be raised in France. After some discussion ww was decided to empower the Chair 10 appoint a committee of twenty persons, who would be wuthorized to solicit apd recetve subscriptions for the proposed monument, No appointments on the committee were announcea, as Mr. Evarts he would wait until he could bo assured that every one appointed would really inter- est himself actively in collecting tunds, Colonel Hawkins then rose and in a@ neat spec asked that a resolution be adopted directing the committee when uppointed to memorialize the State Legislature to grant a sum of money in aid of the pro- posed statue. The Colonel based his argument on tho difficulty of raising so large 4 sum as was needed by vol- uotary subscriptions. Tis proposition Was seconded, vhen Mr. Parke Godwin rose up and spoke against is ption. He was followed tn a sitmilar strain by Mr. joudert and Judge Noah Davis, The latter gontie- man pointed out that the adoption of Colonel Haw- king’ proposition would inevitably jead to the growth spirit of hostility throngh the country, would be looked on as an effort on the part of New York city to outain a large sum of moncy out of the State taxes for purely local objects, This, In his opinion, would have the double eflect of creating hostility to the proposed monument and pre- venting people outside New York subseriving toa project for which they would expect later on to be taxed. These views so far prevailed that the whole question was left in the hands of the committee which Mr. Evarts will appoint. There being no farther busi- ness belore the mecting it was declared adjourned, NORTH CAROLINA'S DEBT. A BOARD OF ARBITRATION DEMANDED BY THE SPECIAL TAX BONDHOLDE The haqlders of the ‘special tax’? bonas of North Carolina it appears were not properly represented at the late mecting of bondholders of that State held in this city. These bonds camprise about half the debt, or near to $20,000,000, Several heavy holaers of these bonds have held a consultation and communicated with Receiver Best, the chairman of the late meeting, aud Colone! Peyton, a Southern gentleman who has taken great interest in arranging the debt, to see if all the claims of the bonhotders could not be present at the same ume. Aboard of arbitration was agreed npon, the foilow- ing gentiemen being willing to serve in thut capacity, the voard to meet an equal number of the Kepre- seututives of North Carolina, witu a view of adjusting the State debt on a fixed basis;—George 8, Coe, Presi- dent of the American Exchunge Bank; Jacob D, Ver- milye, Kk; 8, B, Sherman, mechan KS bh Pratt, National Farmers and Planters’ Bank of Baltimore, Receiver Best thinks that all the boudboiders should unite in obtaining @ settlement, and is wisling to aid jo the movement. Batterivid & Co, state that the special tax bonds are Not repudiated, and that the North Carolina courts, including the Supreme Court of the State, have de- cided apon their valaity, and thay the State cannot repudiate them without materially ruiming its credit. A meeting of the bondholders will be held at the a nbly roots ot tho New York Clearing House, wh @ decikion will be Lad in reintion ta the board at artis tration. [tis be required to agree this board shall mako consider final. It is stated thai chosen to represent the Northern capitalists own any of the bonds. ; ‘A FATAL SHOT, The saloon at No, 418 East Forty-seventh street was filled with a number of people, drinking aad carousing on Saturday night last, when a quarrel sprang up be- tween two of them—Charles Rose, of No, 416 Bust Forty-seventh street, and Thomas Dunn, of No, 313 East Forty-tourth street, Excitement soon ran bigh and Dune, who had been somewhat demonstrative, struck Roso in the face, At this the latter drew a revolver and. discharged it, the bul- let striking Dunn in the right leg The wounded mun was taken to the Fifty-ninth strect police station and thencé to Bellevue Hospital, where it was found that the shot hud caused a compound fracture, the femur being sbattered.
