Y., says: Rheinhardt Strassner, fireman, was thrown into the fire- box of his engine and roasted alive in a rear end collision in the freight yards of the New York Central at Kent street on Friday morning. Arthur Chapman, night yardmas- ter, was riding on the engine, and was hurled under the wreckage. He died after being taken out. Firemen were called to extinguish the flames. They rescued the body of Strassner before it was entireâ€" ly consumed. George Heberie, yardmaster, had his leg cut off, and suffered other injuries, from which he will probably die. The wreck, ‘cne of the worst that has ever ocâ€" curred in this city, was caused by a misplaced switch. Twenty cars are piled up, blocking all work in the yards. â€"-â€"â€"~â€"t*â€"â€"oâ€"â€" NEXT GOVERNOR-GENERAL.

On Saturday morning Cook returned to town from the west, where he went with his young bride two years ago, and going to the home of his moâ€" therâ€"in-law, an old widow lady named Mrs. Thos. Reid, on Church street, inquired for his wife, who left him some time ago. Not reâ€" ecivinga satisfactory answer he proceeded to smash the dishes and doors, and terrified the old lady and her son, a young man in deli- cate health. AV warrant for the outrage was sworn out and given to Chief Constable Sam Speers and Nightwatchman James Halbert to execute. About 10 o’clock the officers saw Cook in the store mentioned; he had a jack-knife out whittling a. stick. Cook, on the entry of the police, resisted arrest. Halbert struck at the knife with his baton, which was attached to his right- wrist by the usual strap, and sew.- ing Cook shoved him over on a table. The desperado slashed at the constable with the knife. cut- ting the wrist strap and terrible injuring Halbert, whose right wrist was half severed, the radial artery or pulse and ligaments were com- pletely so, while the thumb hung useless. Cook then seized the ofii- cer’s baton, ’dashed through the door, defied the crowd, and made hisescape. Halbert was hurried to the surgery of Dr. T. H. Henry, where the lacerated wrist was dressed, Dr. James Henry assisting. Dr. T. H. Henry, interviewed Sun- day, said the man would have bled to death but for prompt medical attendance; two hours were re- quired to dress the wounds. He will never have the use of the right thumb, and lockjaw is a possible complication, said the doctor.
