-Received December sth, 1.10 p.m. MELBOURNE, December 5.
Mr Thomson, the Hawthorne stationmaster, has stated that he believed a special train from Boxhill and a train from Melbourne should cross at Burnley street, Richmond, a short distance beyond the scene of the recent collision. It appears, however, that such crossing was not possible, and a controversy is proceeding between certain railway officials regarding the time table. It is understood that there was a misprint in some of the tables, which did not show that the special should stop at Hawthorne. It also appears that there is no telegraph between Hawthorn and Dunley streets. Public feeling strongly urges a complete change in the system of working the lines.
Received December sth, 2.30 p.m. The “Daily Telegraph” this morning publishes a list of over 100 who are more or less injured by the Hawthorn accident. “ Argus ” statements account for seventy sufferers. SYDNEY, December 5. Arrived, on the evening of the 3rd inst. t the Union Company’s Arawata, from Auckland.
