EO EO es GREAT COCKING MAIN. Troy and Albany Meet in the Pit. THE BIRDS OF TROY THE WINNERS. Eleven Battles for $100 Each and $1,000 the Odd Fight, Troy, N. Y¥., Feb. 14, 1879. Though the police authorities endeavored to pre- vent its consummation, the great cocking main between Albany and Troy was fought last night within a few miles of this city, in the presence of a very select assemblage. Commendable secrecy had been observed by those having the affair in charge, and not until yesterday morning were the makers of the main notitied where they must send their birds, In this way the event was not the talk of the town, and nothing interfered to mar the night’s sport. Had every cock fighter in this city and the western portion of the State that was desirous of being present been notified it is a low estimate to say that over a thousand earnest and enthusiastic Individuals would have been on hand, ready and willing to invest their money. Troy and Albany have met each other in the pit regularly for many years, Ofttimes victory has attended the pets ef Troy, and over and over again the Albanians have Aeparted chuckling over their luck and the money won from the opposite side, The main just deciaed was for a large amount and the greatest care was taken by the respective feeders to bring the towl to the mark in good shape. It was sgreed to show fif- teen birds a side, weighing from 4 Ibs. to 5 Ibs. 10 oz., and fight all that fell in or matched in weight for $100 a battle and $1,000 the odd contest or main. These conditions were lived up to in every way, and the result was eleven battles that will long be re- membered by the lookers on, Troy carried off the honors in brilliant shape, and once more Albany was sent home the worst of the meeting. The stanch old veteran who directed the affairs of Albany won the toss for choice of weights, and near the hour of midnight the birds selected to open the event were brought into the pit. THE FIGHTING. First Fight,—The weights were 6Ibs. 40z. Troy showed a dominick and Albany a light red of the old Heathwood strain, The latter was a sturdy looking bird, and had the call in the betting almost even up, while Troy was at once made the favorite for the main by several of her hopeful supporters. Very much to the surprise of all, the birds went to work slowly, so slowly that somebody shouted, “One’s afeerd and the other darsen’t.” Troy made the attack, however, in fair shape, and the red went reeling ‘on his back, ‘with a - body blow sent in very wickedly. The Heathwood squared matters instautly and nearly knocked one of the dominick’s legs into splinters, when ‘*$10 to $8 on the red’ was heard in every sec- tion of the pit. Not resting with his creditable re- turn Albany continued the work, and in one-two or- der sent the wicked steel into the brain of Troy, who, falling on his side, there arose a cry, ‘That settles him!” and offers of $20 to $8 were to be heard by the score, Albany, having the domiyick at his mercy, soon cut the latter into ribbons and the whipped bird was taken out of the pit dead. Albany felt greatly elated over the victory. Time, 7 minutes. ‘Second Fight.—Troy handed’ in a lemon pyle and Albany a dark spangle, each weighing 4 lbs. 8 oz. Troy looked the largest and strongest bird, and had the betting in his favor, the rates ruling $20 to $18. They came together like the snapping of adrayman’s whip, and the pyle getting the best of the buckles was the choice at greater odds. ‘The spangle soon lost an eye and received terrible slashes in the head; but, game asa pebble, he would not succumb, and frequently delivered blows that made him a danger- ous customer. Once more getting it in the head and falling ail in a heap the spangle looked a sure loser, iin it was impossible to stop him. He would pull himself together after receiving injuries enough to whip an ordinary bird, and would only be knocked down to find his feet again, until it looked as if he could stand an endless amount of punish- ment. Ali this while he was doing much damage to the pyle, but the latter had the strongest blow, and finally he sent the spangle all in a heap with a des- perate brain kick, which quickly cau his death. froy’s victory was secured by the great willingness of her bird, ‘Lime, 11 minutes. ‘Third Fight.—Two little fellows, 4 Ibs. each, Troy sent a pretty and compact dominick into the pit, and Albany a handsome brown-red. ‘Troy had the call, and much money was invested as the betting men were becoming warmed up. It was snap, crack, crash as the beauties came together. “They kick like horses,’’ cried a yray haired sport, and really downright wickednesss was in every buckle, The red soon demonstratea that he was a good cutter withal, and a few of the dashes of his heels battered and hurt the domi- nick until it was $20 to $5 on Albany. Thedomini: ‘was willing enough, but his blow had become weak. Just as the Trojans had given up the battle their bird steadied himself for a tinal effort, and when he jumped into the air he caught the Albany bird full in the throat and split it clean as a knife could do the job, The red didn’t like it a bit and began to wander. He Btagyered and was unable to collect himself. This caused a revolution in the betting, and from being dollars to cents agaiust the d it was now $10 to $5 on his winning. And win he did in right good shape, as while Albany was strutting around in a stupor Troy gave him another slash, which stopped his fighting entirely, and then the rest of the job was easy. The dominick knocked the red down and socn made mincemeat of him, winning the fight clean out of the fire. Time, 10 minutes, Troy, 2; Albany, 1 Fourth Fight.—Troy was in great spirits, and her bac! grinned from ear to ear. ‘Two black-reds, 4 Ibs. 8 oz., were handed out, both fine looking and only to be distinguished by Troy's white feathers. It was $10 to $3 on Troy for the fight and $100 to-$75 that she would carry off the main, AIL sorts of pleasant remarks were hurled back and torth in the pit by the good natured spectators, and as the birds were faced one broad shouldered fellow yelled, “I'll bet $10 to $6 that this ‘ere bird (Troy) kuocks the stuflin’ out of the other,” the remark creating general laughter. They began —hos- tilities instantly, and ‘Troy retired trom the second buckle with a leg badly hurt, Still he returned to the attack, and after one or two moro breaks he became cunning and, wheeling about, looked for an etek It soon came, and a tremen- dous blow on the body knocked Albany off his feet. A wild yell followed and $100 to $80 on Troy was to be had irom a dozen.

Troy knocked him stiff, aud the backers of the winner gathered in their money With feelings of intense satisfaction, ‘Time, 11 munutes. bany, 1. y Fifth Figh lL oz, @ brown-red_ muff with yeliow legs; Albany, 4 Ibs. 13 oz, a red cup comb, These were tine birds, and ® desperate fight ensued, It was $25 to $20 on ‘Troy, with plenty of takers, The work was merry from the initial break and both were badiy cut. Then Troy received a gash in the brain and immediutely afterward was stag. gered with another blow of the same sort, and at Albany at this juncture had followed w his advantage he could not have lost. He allowe ‘troy to partly recover and lost the opportunity presented, Smack, bang, they resumed operations, and Albany had both eyes kn ‘This mis- fortune made the betting ¢ $4 against him. Still they did not stop. Troy struck himself in the ead, and, upon getting up, Albany found him by feeling, and, with a desperate kick, cut out both of ‘Lroy's eyes. They were thus again on pretty even terms. “Though stone blind they felt for each other and fonght more viciously than be- tore, More desperate birds were never pit- ted, Occasionally they struck their handlers, and whenever they met in their wanderings sbout the pitit was hit and hit, Finally, Albany was cut yoreneh the head, and, while he was stagyer- ing, ‘Troy sent ther terrible blow, which ‘was a littie too much, and the former began to move out of harnt’s way, e's running,” cried twenty. “No, he ain’t,”" was the retort, “he's dying;"’ but the whipped bird acted queeriy, and, being pounded, he was counted out, and Troy was declared the winner ch cheering. ‘Time, 18 minutes, Troy, 4; Mek Fight. irth Fight.—The weights were 4 Ibs. 7 oz, for this buttle.

The odds were $10 to $5 on Albany, with numerous takers. Troy had the best of the opening buckles, hit- ting the red twice in the head until it was 2 to 1 against the latter, Albany didn’t like the cannonading he received, and, with one eye eut out, he looked in serious trouble, His injuries did not stop him, though they were serious, and in one of his desporite blows he hit the Troy bird in the back, and, breaking it, the steel at the same time went through his heart, killing him instantly. Al- bany was ‘olld, though the victory wes ancused by on accidental blow. ‘Time, 4 minutes. ‘Troy, 5; Al- bany, 2. Eighth Fight.—The encouragement given Albany in the previous fight made the men from that section more hopeful. A brown henny cock, weighing 5 Tbs., was sent in by Albany, and a dark red, 4 lbs. 14 oz., by Troy. The henny at first demoralized the red, but having an eye knocked out, Troy seemed to get things again even, and it was $25, $50 to $00 on the latter winning. The slashing went on for another minute, when the henny recovering her sight somewhat, went boldly at work and quickly cut the red bird to such an extent he exhibited symp- toms of unwdiingners. to continue the combat. Finally, the henny hit Troy on the head, and, the lat- ter falling all ina bunch, he was pounded and counted out. Troy was dead when his handler picked him up. Time, 11 minutes, Troy, sien 3.

A LIST OF QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED BY THE SCOTTISH LADY CLAIMANT—INCREASED LIB- ERTY GRANTED TO THE PRISONER, ‘The general court martial which is trying, at Gov- ernor’s Island, the case of Captain Thomas Blair, Fifteenth infantry, charged with conduct unbecom- ing an officer and a gentleman, reassembled yester- day morning at Fort Columbus, Major Swain, the Iudge Advocat8, stated that the accused officer re- quested the indulgence of half an hour's conference with him, The Court granted the request, and at noon took a recess till one o’clock, Upon resuming deliberations the Judge Advocate said that he had some interrogatories to submit which he was anxious should be made to certain parties in Scotland as a means of obtaining evidence, These interrogatories consisted of twelve questions, which the deserted wife was to answer, and a similar set, somewhat moditied, to be replied to by the prisoner's daughter, Rachel. The depositions of mother and daugh- ter are to be taken before the United States Consul at Glasgow, certified by him and forwarded to this country. ‘The character of the questions.is such that categorical replies to them in the affirmative will atonce prove home the charge and specifications; or, if answered in the negative, must break down the whole theory of guilt which the Judge Advocate has very forcibly built upon what appears to be excellent documentary proof. Among other things, the deserted wife is asked if she knew that her hus- band, Thomas Nicholl, was serving as an officer in the Fifteenth United States infantry under the name ot Thomas Blair; she is asked to state when, where, under what circumstances she was mar- ried to Thomas Nicholl, who performed the ceremony and who were the witnesses; if her husband had repudiated her either since or before the 17th of last September, the date of his marriage with Mrs. Granger; it she was legally en- titied to look upon herself as the lawful wife of Thomas Nicholl (Captain Blair), and if she had ever seen or could identity the bogus order purported to be issued from the Adjutant General's office under date of September 1, 1878, with a false name attached to it, which the prosecution claim is in the handwritin, of the prisoner. These in- terrogatories, though not yet publicly sub- mitted to the Court, will be sent to Scotland immediately. A copy of them was handed to General McMahon, who, with Mr. Elliott F. Shepard, is defending the prisoner. ‘The Court was adjourned till next Tuesday, at half- past eleven o'clock. After adjournment of the Court last Thursday the prisoner made application, supported by representa- tions of his counsel, to Major General W. 5, Han- cock, commanding the division of the Atlantic, to be allowed the liberty of Fort Columbus instead of being restricted to close confinement as heretofore. The General at once gave orders to the commandant of the fort to grant the prisoner the privilege of the fone of the body of the works until turther orders, PATERSON'S DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. THE LOSS GREATER THAN AT FIRST SUPPOSED— NEARLY THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOU- SAND DOLLARS SWEPT AWAY AND BUT LITTLE INSURANCE—SCENES, INCIDENTS AND CASU- ALTLIES. No light has been thrown on the origin of the great fire which occurred at Paterson, N. J., on ‘Thursday night, and by which the Rogers Locomo- tive Works were partially consumed, also the Barbour Brothers’ fiax mill, causing a loss of nearly $350,000. The loss is even more than at first estimated. The machinery on the two floors of the Rogers building alone was valued at $150,000, The total loss to the Rogers company is said to be $250,000, and on this the insurance was but $25,000, the company preferring to carry their own insurance, and this preference was strengthened by a total immunity from fire for more than twenty years. Mr. Jacob Rogers, the head of the concern, is in Paris, where he resides most of the time. Mr, R. S$. Hughes, who is in charge of the works, being one of the company, has already set men at the task of removing the débris preparatory to rebuilding. During the progress of the fire despatches were received from 'y direction within a radius of tifty miles, asking what meant the great light that was seen to illumine the heavens. The finest print could be read at any point within the city limits, so great was the brilliance. There were in the Rogers shop portions of several engines that were to be delivered in a few day but the most valuable of all outside the machinery were the patterns of engines now in use all over the habitable globe. The sufterings of the firemen in the biting cold, drenched with water as they were, and frozen until every man in the foremost ranks was clad in icy mail, were really terribl: The foreman of No.5 engine company had his hands so badly frozen that it was feared his fingers would burst. ‘Two men of No, 4, John Delaney and Frank King, held the pipe under the walls of the Barbour Mill, which threat- ened every moment to fall, and from first to last stood to their post tor five hours, covered from head | to foot with solid ice. Christitm Schultz, a mem- ber of No. 7, fell to the ground from an | icy roof and was seriously injured, Edward Brell, a coppersmith, while endeavoring to yet through the crowd to recover his tools from the Rogers shop, second floor, was thrown down and trampled nearly to death. John Jordan was passing along the cana! @ half mile distant, at least, when a burning cinder fell in his coat pocket, and from this his clothing caught fire and he was fearfully burned. Many accidents of more or less gravity are reported, | but no lives were lost, although the falling walls | threatened to crush the trundrete that stood in their very shadow but a few moments before. THE FIRE AT “TATTERSALL'S.” The scene at Briggs’ stables or “the New York Tat- tersall’s,”’ as it is called, was yesterday a very unin- viting oue, The flames of the previous night had left their traces on the ruined buildtng and the street without, but most of all in the very stalls themselves, where, huddled to- gether in every conceivable position, over three score of the dumb inmates had perished. Some had broken away from their halters and been guided by their instinct to the head of the gangway | where they perished. At this place the accumulation of dead bodies was exceedingly large and the odor of | the burned flesh was extremely offensive. The al tude in which many of the bodies were found is ter- , ribly suggestive of the mad terror of the creatures and their frantic quest for air and liberty. ‘The limbs gathered up, the nostrils distended, the eyes burst- ing from their sockets—all told of the terrors of the death agony. ‘The heaviest losses were sustained by the owners of horses, and several of them were in attendance yesterday morning. A correct valuation of all the animals has not, as yet, been made—that published in the Heratp yesterday being only an estimate— but the aguresate will, 1t 8 thought, reach considl- ” noon measures were taken to re- move tie dead horses to the offal dock at the foot | ot West Thirty-eighth street.

NEW JERSEY CENTRAL FIGHTING THE PENNSYL- VANIA AND LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROADS IN THE JERSEY LEGISLATURE—BIDDING FOR VOTES—FORESHADOWED DEFEAT. Trenton, Feb. 14, 1879. The great fight between the New Jersey Central Railroad Company on the one side and the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company on the other over the con- struction of a bridge across the Morris Canal at Wash- ington street, Jersey City, is causing much excite- ment throughout the State. The Pennsylvania has for its allies the Morris Canal and Banking Company, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, ‘and Messrs. Matthieson & Weichers, proprietors of a sugar house property abutting on Washington street. If the bridge were built the New Jersey Central would have direct communication with Jersey City and the necessity of piloting over her passengers in @ ferryboat from one side to the other, the same as now, would be obviated. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company does not want that, because the result would give the Central free com- petition for carrying passengers and freight. ‘The great trouble is that the Central wants to bond “tax ridden” Jersey City to the further extent of $100,000 to pay the expense of the project. Then, besides the contract made by the State with the Morris Caval and Banking Company in 1867, whereby certain privi- Jeges were granted at the disputed location, and for which that corporation now pays into the school fund of the State $25,000 annually, would, at is alleged, be violated. After this come Messrs. Matthieson and Weichers, who state that their interests would be ruined if the bridge should be built, They obtained a deed to their property, abutting on Washington street, they say, in good faith and honor. They employ nearly one thousand men a day the year round. They have made great improvements and proved themselves a great help to the industrious population of Jersey City. Now, they contend, “if the bridge is built, we will be compelled to move our factory over to Long Island or some other place, because our water front would be destroyed and we could not have necessary navigation. ONE CORPORATION SUPPORTS THE OTHER. ‘The American Dock and Improvement Company come to the rescue of the Central Railroad Company by adopting a series of preambles and resolutions in favor of the bridge, which, among other things, sets forth that “this company and the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey, the owners of the capital stock of this company, have paid the State $414,725 for lands under water, south of the premises so granted to the said canal company, besides large sums in _ taxe: and have | expended. about $3,000,000 in reclaiming the said lands, which ure cut off from Jersey City and Hudson county by the lands under water so granted to the said canal company; and so, not only are the lands of this company rendered of much less value than if not so isolated, but the said Central company and the people of Jersey City and of Hudson county, and ot the communities on the line of the Centra) and of the Lond Branch railroads are debarred from the profit and convenience which is their right to enjoy, and which would result from bridging Washington street in the grant to the said canal com- pany named. “Ut is represented, contrary to the opinion of the highest court of New Jersey, that the lands under water go granted to the said canal company, differing from all other property in the State, are not subject, compensation being given, to be crossed by the con- struction of a street; but that Jersey City must never extend further southward; that its inhabitants must never enjoy the advantages in trade and con venience of communication by the Central Railroad with other parts of the State, or the inhabitants of other parts of the State have intercourse by said rail- road with that city. “And the proposed bridge will leave more than five-sixths ot the basin, which is on the premises granted to the said canal company east, or on the Tiver side of the proposed bridge, and vessels will pass to the west of the bridge only occasionally, and experience in this country and England shows that bridging Washington street will not injure the basin.” Resolutions were then adopted favoring the construc- tion of the bridge, and to the effect that the company will pay the State the required annual rental, &c. But there is nothing said about the expense. Apparently Jersey City must be saddled with that to the extent of $100,000 or more. DEFEAT FORESHADOWED, Thero is a strong feeling among the legislators against the bill asat present drawn. The bill is very strong in its provisions, gives unlimited power and is mandatory. This is the prevailing opinion, Major O'Connor, of Newark; Dominic Robinson, of Pater- son; Mr. Herring, of Camden; Mr. Deacon, of Bur ho dae are among those who share this view, an they are considered prominent and wide- awake iegisiators. Judge Lathrop, a member of the Court of Errors and Appeals, and ro- ceiver of the New Jersey Central, directs the battle from afar, in favor of that corporation, and his chosen henchmen are here in the well known occupation as lobbyists. ‘The Pennsylvania's inter- ests ure taken care ot by Culver Barcalow, a veteran lobbyist, who has a corps of willing workers. It is said this great fight between the two giant corpora- tions will cost each over $50,000. The contest will be renewed on Monday night in the House, The bill will probably pass by a very small majority, but wheu it goes to the Senate positive defeat is almost inevitable. The lowest price offered for a vote is $500. At least that is the report, however true it may be. The longer the fight lasts the better for the it is a remarkable fact that while it is alleged the people of Jersey City favor the building of the bridge the Mayor and Board of Alder- men, the Board of Public Works, the Board of Fi nance and all other municipal bodies of that city, have presented strong remonstrances against tie project. Aud even the Jersey City members are not Unanimous on the question, Messrs, McDonald and Meeks having taken a decided stand in opposition. It is the great fight of the session, and may not end for weeks yet. THE RIVALS. Two young gentlemen, named respectively Rich- ard H. Brockington, of No. 122 West Twenty-first street and William Cohn, of No, 328 West Forty-soventh street, were, so it is said, rivals for the affections of acertain young lady. Brockington won the lady's regards and Cohn, as the story runs, determined on revenge. To achieve his purpose he circulated, as is alleged, slanderous stories. Brockington and the father of the young lady sought Cohn and sum- marily thrashed hii. Cohn, smarting under his punishment, appealed to the courts. Justice Kas- inire, sitting at the Fifty-seventh Street Police Court, ssterday held both the young. gentlemen in $300 to keep the peace toward each other and the ‘he young lady's father was dis- charged. Ble iis NO YELLOW FEVER SOUTH. [From the Lowsville Courier-Journal, Feb. Mewruts, Feb, I have just had an interview with Mr. A. D. 1 staff, President of the Howard Association, and Dr. | R. W. Mitchell, who was medical director of the asso- ciation during the epidemic here. They both authorize me to emphatically state that the | rumor about the reappearance of the — yel- low fever in the South is wholly untrue. Dr Mitchell says there has not been a single case of, or anythin mbling, yellow fever in Mem- phis since last ember. Dr. Mitchell further says that he does not believe there will be any fever here There were some bodies exhumed during the real cold weather, but that was promptly stopped, and no ill effects were noticed from it. Mr. Langsta just returned from a trip to Holly Springs, da, Water Valley, Grand ph and that were visited by the plogne, and he is that there was no fever at any of The high standing of the gentlemen of course preclides the idea that they are mise senting the matter. I have just talked also with Mr, J, H. Childress, a conductor on the railroad running between Memphis and New Orleans, and he says that there is no fever at any point along the line or at New Orleans, There is no excitement here whatever over the affair, ANOTHER TEXAS TRAGEDY. positively asi A MAN'S THROAT CUT AND HIS StSTER-1 PUT IN AN IRON CAGE. ‘The Waco (Texas) Telephone gives a full account of a domestic butchery which occurred ten miles north of Waco, on February 8. About an hour after mid- night Mr. Rayburn’s children and his sister-in-law, ‘Mrs. Victoria Wright, were aroused by an unusual noise in Mr, Rayburn's sleeping room. Rushing in LAW there they found him up and bieedi protusely from o cut io his neck, extending from the left ear nearly around to the windpine. He weakened rapidly and could tell nothing of what had befallen him. Two hired men who roomed near the house were sent for the Doctor, who re- Pee Fe aa | and dressed the wound. Early in the morning Mr. Rayburn was able to state that he had no knowledge who attacked him of how the as- sault was made. He was sleeping soundly, and all he remembered was a sudden, horrid sensation that something terrible was being done to him, and then he could recall no more. He stated emphatically that he did not see his assailant, and did not know with what kind of an instrument, whether a knife or not, the eut was made, Later in the day the victiv sister-in-law, Mra, Victoria Wright, was arrested « flung in jail, Subsequently Mr. Rayburn said he knew that it was she who tried to kill him. She presented @ pitiable appearance in the iron cage of the jail, and between her sobs she said that she knew nothing of the crime beyond hearing the outery on the morning of the murder. She is forty-five years old. The Waco Telephone says:—"There is another female inmate of the same room, a degraded negro prostitute, serving out a county fine, It does seem that there shonid be a separate room in the jail tor female prisoiters. Here ts a white woman, arrested on mere sit cho hus had no trial, ) prove her innocence, and yet she is thrnst in the same cell with one of the vilest negro street walkers iu Waco,”” WHO ARE THE ALDERMEN? THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ISSUES A WRIT OF QUO WARRANTO TO TEST THE LEGALITY OF THE MINORITY REPRESENTATION [IN THE COM- MON COUNCIL. The Attorney General of the State issued yesterday & writ of quo warranto in an action to try the legality of the minority representation in the New York Com- mon Council, The writ was issued in the name of the State upon the relation of Daniel Crimmins and two others, who claim to have been elected Aldermen in the Eighth Senatorial District under the majority system which prevailed prior to the charter of 1870, and the defendants are Terence Kiernan and his two associates, who now exercise the functions of the office in that district. Although the present proceed - ing is between the Aldermen holding office from that particular district, the question involved affects the position of every member of the Common Council except Jordan L. Mott, who was elected in the an. nexed district upon a single ballot. This question of the right of minority representation has been fre- quently discussed and considerably doubted by and among those acquainted with constitutional and legislative powers, and last summer the Herarp published an interview with the Attorney General, in which he freely expressed the opinion that the government—national, State and municipal— was founded upon the theory that public office emanated from the people, and that no man could hold an elective office for whom the people had not the liberty of voting. The minority system, against which this proceeding seems to be directed, provides for the election of six Aldermen at large on a county ticket, while the electors of the county are only allowed to vote for four. It ulso provides for the election of three Aldermen trom the various Sen torial districts, while the electors thereof are only permitted to vote for two. While tl onstitution, if amended, might allow of a minority representation, as was done in the case of the Judges of the Court of Appeals, it has been very seriously doubted whether the Legislature can effect so yreat a change in the fundamental principle of govern- ment. ‘Lhe snit of the Attorney General is, there- fore, regarded as a test ease, and as it in effect reaches the office of all the incumbents, except Mr, Mott, it may be doubted whether any ‘of the city fathers, with this one exception, will receive their salary until the question involved is settled. At all events it necessarily creates quite a breeze, andcauses much anxiety among those whote positions are thus ques- tioned. CRUSHED TO DEATH, A fatal accident occurred yesterday in the Morgan Iron Works, at the foot of East Ninth street. A number of men were engaged completing the cast- ing of a water wheel, which was six feet in diameter and weighed about two tons. The casting was placed on props and was raised about four fect from the ground, and was attached to a derrick, in order that, when completed, it could be transferred to a more desirable position. While the men were getting the wheel ready for removal and withdrawing the props @ crash was heard, the plate on which the casting rested gave way, the centre joinings broke, and the wheel collapsed upon the workmen beneath, crush- ing to death John Tilton, of No, 118 avenue C, and seriously injuring George Brunuer, aged twenty- eight, residing in Brooklyn, —___+ 2 +____ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, ee ENGAGED.
