Count Bismarck has addressed note to the North
German representatives abroad in reply to the
charges made on the part Of the French government
by NJ. dc Chaudordy, against the German mode OF
carrying on war. Count Bismarck thinks that the
despatch In which those charges were made could
only have been intended for the French public and
that section Of the foreign press which is opposed to
Germany. He charges that the French have wilfully
ignored the common law OF nations and says:-

Army of the Republic in this city, it was ex.
pected that these interesting services would
be performed this year by the same organiza-
ton. But the day has gone by without the
manifestation of any interest in the matter,
by the organization that should be proud to
make the necessary arrangements and carry
forward the proper services of the day. All
the expense attending the occasion would have
been willingly borne by our citizens. But
even now it is not too late to perform this SER
vice, although it is too late to observe the day
set apart throughout the nation; and we trust
that GOODNESS, indifference and selfshness
may not be allowed to stand between us and
the memory of these heroes of the war whose

Full Particulars Of the Sad Accident on the Maine
Central Railroad Monday Aftern0on.-One Man
Killed and Another Badly Hurt.

The following are some of the particulars,
as given by the conductor of the freight train
to our Waterville correspondent As the
train was approaching the station at North
Belgrade, the engineer discovered that the
track was thrown out one side about one foot
and Immediately reversed his engine and
whistled to down brakes, but before the train
could be stopped, the engine swung off the
track. The first freight car was light and
shot over the tender cut into the woods. The
second freight car was the onerhat did the
sad work. 1t struck the engine, knocking
the cab off, and pinned the engineer. Robert
Austin, and the fireman, Eugene Gullifer, to
the steaming hot boiler. BY cutting away the
timber, the engineer was relieved in about
ten minutes. His injuries are not serious,
although his leg was badly burned and the
under part Of his arm considerably bruised.
Gullifer lived about an hour, and suffered the
highest degree of pain. His left leg was com.
pletely severed at the hip, and in that condi-
ton, he was firmly held between the timbers
and the burning boiler for nearly thirty min
uets, conscious all the while Of the extreme
pain he was suffering and while the men were
cutting away at the end of the car, he knew
that death was near at hand, and expressed an
anxiety for his wife and child who were depend
ent upon him for their daily support, and sent
them his arting message by the conductor,

to mourn his loss. He was man of strong
constitution, and in the full strength of man

could not be stopped in time to escape the ac-

the regular afternoon train, which arrived at
the latter place about forty minutes late.
