that Mr. Springer, who is one of the very few

special to Ihe Leader ?Iv?s the following accouut of the
inquest proceeding? :
The coroner'? (ury reassembled at 0 o'clock this morn?
ing. E. Vf. I/oekwood was the liai witness, and testified
i that he was at tho pinnping-house, near the depot, Just
i before the accident ; ?.unes Maiitimi:, engineer at the
' piiuiplng-house, hadJi?t been telling him what a fSad
engine he hail ; they had facilities for attaching hose In
four or live place?; did not say anything about attaching
the village lire hose at the piimplng-lioiiHc; left the puiiip
itig-hotis?! atJCii.'hSo'elock to go home; on his way met train
No. 5, which ?niucd to be all right; did not hear the
Brash as the bridge aTBBt down, the night being very
stormy, but saw the light of the biirniu_ wreck immedi?
ately ; did not go back till next morniuir, when he exam?
ined the track anil tic?, but ?aw uo indications of a train
kavtagjaarped the track. Thute was no sm?'.? on the
billige when he passed over it.
The next witness was (?forge llruke, who resid?!? In
Aslitaliiila. He heard the alarm of Hi ?? on the night of
the accident, ami being foreman ol Pr .tection Com?
pany, hastened to tho i ngine-lioiiso. WltaOSI ?aid : The
team usually employed cdiiM not bo obtained, and. as
some delay was experienced in starting, it wa? probably
tint, -ipiai-ter? of an hour before we arrived at tho rail?
road crossing. I uske.l why t'ie engine already there
was not at work, anil was told by Mr. Strong that there
wa? no use, us water could do uo good. 1 ?till in.ole en?
de irosa t?. get the engine into op?ration, aad a?i?e?i Mi.
0 liver If 1 should take the engine down upon the ice. Hs
answered that he had BS autl ? nty in the matter. I ex
amlmtl aii'.l fourni no drag rope? or anything else to get
tin ?team? r down with, ami I finally abandoned the idea.
Hilther the orden of Mr. Strong aor those of any one
llM had an> i tlnence BBOB mv action. I thought then,
as now, thai the lite could have been checked better by
engines than by tile use of buckets. I recoiled ail order
from the Chief Kiiitiuccr not to set the engine. Some
twenty or thirty buckets were being used iu throwing
water. Mayar Hepburn ga\e him no orders.
E. A. Hiichcock, IWOSB, said: I? foreman of the
steamer Neptune; has been eonncctcd wilh tin- lire De?
parta* at 1er nine yaani met Mr. strong before reneniag
the ?cine of the accident; asked him if tha fire Depart?
ment was needed; Mr. Strong replied. " I don't think wi?
nced any water ;" I then told tue driver be had better
not try to lake the engine down, as the snow was very
deep| went immediately to the wreck ; wondered that
the) tli I not want water ou the tire; had not sen Chief
Knapp or tinman Brake up to thai lime; met Mr.Btroug
and ?aid, " Is there any ne? ?1 of waler being thrown V
Mr. sinnig replied that he thought water kkit? ui no use;
this was his only reason for not putting mi water; Ins
opinion is that by Using water as soon as it might have
liceii used more lives would lave been saved ; the
steamer was readj for use soon after it was on the
ground, ami if it had then BBia used, think? the fire
coiil'l haie been extinguished and more bodies might
have been itlciitillcd ; he would have proceeded to throw
Water on the lire if not for the order of Mr. strong.

TFIK LAST HOIRS.
A week niro yesterday Mr. Vauderbilt's condition
became very critical and d? ath was hourly, ?ven mo?
mentarily, STgeCtsd. "It sc?mii<<I," sai?l an i'ltimato
friend of the Commodor?1, spcukiii? of his calmness,
resiiniation, and religious faith, "that hu BsOSBtsr
?Sag upon death as I h.??l Barer assa it Infor?-.''
It was believed that he would not outlive tin- ? ? n
tennial year. He had one or two periods of
rallying, and on YVcdncstluy BIlSiJBg the
family gained some cheer Two <>r three

and talked lliiently and rati?uially. Tho conversa?

was wheeled back into the plainly furnished secoml
story back liedroom. He took wuiio iioiirishuieiit,

cidcdly. Among other things |he said I "No. 1 shall
aarer casas to trast lotea, ilow could I ever l.t

ignorance in regard to spiritual things, as, for in

his it'iiT-iticc did not slaml in 111?- way ot ins faith.
He ?iedared that he tiiisied in the iiiiil?- ami tried
to understand it, aud whatever the liible ?aid ho
firmly believed.
About 2 o'clock yntcnilsj morning a marked

Air. Vanderhilt fourni great diflictilty iu speaking,
and while he maintained the clearness of his und?T
stamling, eoold utter only a few sentences ?luring
the last two hours of his life. He listened att? n
tively to passages of Scripture which were re?
peated to him boat tune to time. When 0OS ??? his
?laiighiers sskad if they shouhl sing, he misundiT
stood her, but afterward turned to his wife, win? ic->
inaincd at his side, and said with some tlilHi uliy :M
" I thought you would sing." Mrs. Crawford stark ds|
tho hymn, "?Show pity, Lord, 0 L??rd forgive; L? t a
re|M?uting sinner live." A few ?>f Ins favorito
hymns were also sung, with pauses b?twe.u ihein.
He evinced the greatest interest in the singing, and
even attcinptetl to join in singing " Coin?? ye sinners,
1?<?.T and needy." His voico WBS luiarse, and almost
inaudible. While lie ha?l yet 8tr?ii?th enoiuli,
when this hymn was sung he invariably tried to tako
part, usually adding at Mat close. " I BBS peer, 1 am
n?'?'?ly, weak ami wound?-?!, sick ami sore.''
Dr. DSSBBS proposed prayer, at which Mr. Vander?
bilt 8*'eni?Ml pleased. His btroagth was now ebbing
so rapidly that it was seen that very soon h?- would
not be able to expecl??r,iti'. It was fcaretl from this
