COLLIDING CARS. A terrible wreck on the Q. and a loss of three lives…PATRICK READY was also an Irishman by birth, and had lived in this city 22 years, an employee of the railroad company during nearly all that time. He was about 65 years of age, and a wife and two sons, lads of 15 and 17, survive him. Like the comrade who died with him, MR. READY had many warm friends here. He was a soldier in the Union army, a member of Company C, 12th New York Infantry, and was disabled in the service. Both men had acquired nice homes and leave their families in comfortable circumstances.
