THE GREENVILLE RAILROAD.
Visiting the Scene of Disaster.
from the Columbia phenix.]


On Sunday morning last, We paid visit to
the scene Of the recent fatal disaster on the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad; and after q
careful examlnati n, in company with several eX-
perIsnced railroad men. unconnec'ed With the
Company, we are forced 10 the conclusion that
the accident resulted from the breaking OF
wheel on the tender, and that the company is not
in the least blameable. As the broken tender fell
upon the treste 1t caught In the ties, dragT
ed and smashed the timbers, and the cars crowd.
ing forward, the whole structure gave way
with sudden crash, precipitating 81. OK car,
noaded with nineteen head OF cattle,) baggage
and express car second.cla>s and first CLASS pas
senger cars into the chasm. TAe forward truck
OF one OF the new first class coaches went over,
and the end Of the car stuck in the ground, hut,
owing to its great strength, it was only partially
broken, and remained wedged, preventing The
rear passenger car from going over. anu tnus,
doubtless saving the lives OF many Of the passen-
gers. The sudden jerk threw the locomotive on
the track just beyond The treslle. Passengers on
board slate that the train Was running at the
ordinary speed before reaching The trestle, and
they feel positive that speed was decreased Inc
wood with which the trestle was built
and all, with the exception Of the broken
'timbers, were used In re-erect1ng; tne
structures though they have on hand large guam
titles OF MATERIAL as the entire road Is being over
hauled. The treste was over loo FEET IN len9th
and about 25 feet high in the centre. 1t had been
overhauled last year, and new tlmberS put in
where it was deemed necessary. The proof OF It's
strength was the safe passage Of the locomotive
the heaviest portion OF the train-acrOss the tres
tie, and it was only thrown on by the jar or con-
cussion Of the fallen train.- An old car belonging
to the South Carolina Railroad was smashed into
thousands Of pieces. The damage has been re-
paired, and trains now run straight through with
out deception. There was actually no Interrupt
tion to passage, and there was transfer at the
break. Fhe Officers Of the road have been unre.
hitting IN their attentions to the injured.

ITALY IND ROME.
Absolute Freedom OF the Pope's Move

The Italian Government has addressed the
following circular to Its diplomatic agents abroad:
Sir-His Eminence Cardinal ARtonelli has ap.
piled TO several courts for Information as to
whether the Pope wou be free TO leave Rome
and to go back to &c at his own pleasure This ap-
plicatIon Of the Cardinal Secretary OF state hayng

answered that Italy naturally wishes his Hon.

the Pontin find himself surrounded by greater
respect and regard, and nowhere else could ne
enjoy greater freedom In 1.-The discharge OF MS
spiritual functions. If, however, other Ideas were
to prevail In the Council OF the holy Fatner, tne
Kings Government would certainly regret, Dut u
would alsJ respect, the POpe's deternlnauon'
Most assuredly the idea OF exercising any innu
euce ON the deliberations OF hts Holiness mas
never crossed our minds. Such san iuea Would
be contrary to all our prccedents, anu 70 our wen
known political programme. The Pope can, there
fore. abide In Rome, or repair to Caster Gandolo,
TO Civita Yecchia or ell eWhere. He may quit LAZY
or return. The only observation look tne liberty

made up his mind to leave Rome 1t would be de-
sirabIe that he should do 80 in public and free
manner. for, considering the full liberty enjoyed
by his Holiness there would be no reason why he
should expose himself to The Inconvenience and
fatigue Of secret Journey. Whatever may be the
determinat on OF the Holy Father, neither the
government nor the people would ever fall to sur
round him with all the honors and all the proofs
OF respect which are due to him.

A SPRINKLE OF LIE.

There are many social denominations
unconsciouly practiced by men and women
which produce effects barely observed,
and proceed from causes that are never
considered Among these is the addic-
ton to slight sprinkle of I've in converse
ton, with view to more pungent favor
and greater attraction. Charles Reade
owes part Of his early celebrity to the dis
covery of this venial habit, designating
the furnishings as white lies" or vary
ing with the scene of the sensations, as
''parlor lies" and among the more aspiring
classes-the examplars of tonne effected
as much reform as human nature, from its
tenacity in holding on to its vices, would
permit. Many who never related fact or
incident, or described a scene, without
sensational additions Or exaggerations,
came under the satirist, to apply the rule
of strict delivery, and in the best society
talk preserved q little truth ndacquired a
little dignity.
Now, the Cause of this sprinkling of lie,
which so many-perhaps because they fol-
low Thackeray Or Charles Lever, and are
not Realities at all-still indulge, consists
IN our love of the appreciation of every
oooy and anybody in place of our own.
The pedagogue who tried to please only
himself, and not his boys, found out that

THE FIRST BLOW.

According to yesterdays dispatches, a
German advanced from the body Of his
regiment at Forbach, until within shoot
ing distance Of the French troops, and
fired at the commander. This is the first
gun, and its echo will roll back to the
Pyrenees and fire the heart of every true
Gaul. 1t will be responded to with the
blasts of the bugle, the roll of the drum,
and the tramp Of a million Of men press
ing forward toward the valley of the
Rhine
The first shot of an opening struggle is
always momentous. The first cannon at
Sumter electrified the national heart from
Maine to California. There is terrible
responsibility in speeding the first messen-
ger of death, for it is the precursor of
thousands more. France, in her persist
ent demand for war, may be said to have
knocked the chip off the shoulder of
Prussia, and the latter, in the person
of the bold Teuton, who advanced alone
and shot at the French commander, to
have struck the first blow, without, how
ever, drawing blood, as the chieftain re-
manned untouched, and the lone German
took to his heels amid a shower of bullets.
This will be recorded in Prussian annals
as the first feat of the war, and there is
now, doubtless, lively demand for locks
of the Saxon hair of this present hero,
who, if the truth were known, was per-
haps inspired to the deed by several foam
ing tankards of the nectar Of Gambrinus.
1t is now reasonable to suppose that the
blows will follow thick and fast. Both
sides of the Rhine are bristling with bay
onets and Notifications. Both sides are
supposed to be ready, and we shall soon
have an opportunity ofjudging Of the rela-
tive merits of the chassepot and the

The Shin St. Lawrence.

The British ship st. Lawrence, Captain
Nichols, burden 1913 tons English measure
ment, bound from New Orleans to Havre,
rels -four, and 1000 slaves, caught fire on the
night of the twenty-eighth of June last, and
was scuttled and sunk where she lay. She
has been raised under contract by the New
York Wrecking Company, and Is now at
post twenty-nine, opposite the City
WaterwOrks. The cotton has been
abandoned, and is now being taken out
of the vessel and sold on account of the
Underwriters. On Friday three hundred
and eighty bales were sold, at the average
of 1913 per bale. The day previously, three
hundred and forty-nine and a half bales
brought an average of $33 per bale; show
ing deterioration of the cotton as the
lower storage is neared. The flour on
board has not been reached; but will prOba-
bly, be by next Tuesday. 1t is supposed to
be a total loss.
The vessel is considerably burned be-
tween decks, but the hull is sound. 1t is
contemplated to have her partially repaired
at this port and then taken North to refit.
The st. Lawrence is staunch ship, well
found in every respect.
She was insured, as near as can be ascer-
tanned. for some $4,000 She lies at the
wharf Just as she was raised, with nothing
of her upper gear, except her three masts
These are ''made" masts, and were pro
cured a+ CalIaO at q cost of 80 900 The
mate of the vessel says that these masts
cost much more than they could have been
made for at any English or American sea-
port; but in quality and workmanship they
will compete with sticks made in any
part Of the world
The vessel will probably be cleared of all
her cargo during the week. Everything on
board, stores, provisions, ETC., is total
loss.

THE WATER DRINKERS,

Napoleon has two bodily inirmities for
whose amelioration it was his intention to
pass some time at Plombieres. The war
breaks in upon this salutary programme
and his ills will go uncared for.
The King of Prussia required stifening
in his old age as indicated by his presence
at the healing fountains Of Ems, but mex
orable war drags him from that powerful
little town to the sang1,inary battlefield.
Hard work, nervous organization and
an irregular life have told on the constitu-
ton of Bismarck. He had also gone in
quest of health in quiet corner Of Ger
many The bugle blast Of war has broken
in on his well merited repose, and called
him back to an active life, and shattered in
health as he is, the veteran obeys with
alacrity.
Thus, these three men put the working
harness on their enfeebled bodies, with
the idea that they can perform the service
which they did when younger and health
Ter. Men, like Napoleon and Bismarck,
generally die from over work, and these
two will hardly prove exceptions to the
rule They are the Cavours of their
respective countries. In the ordinary
course of nature, King William can not
live much longer. The death of any one
of these personages would greatly affect
the present situation. If it We're the
Emperor, peace would probably follow
If their Majesties and the Prussian
Premier are not suffered to drink their

there is one who was prominent in the
first act of the drama who is allowed to
enjoy this privilege undisturbed-General

digestive organs of the Spanish Warwick,
