THE cable has twice affirmed, and as
often denied, that the Conference Of
German Catholic Bishops at Fulda had
-.-.17.a.>--s--s----s for lesssco-v-ith the Gov
ernment- This morning the story
comes, for the third time, in something
Of tangible shape-namely, the COM
plete divorce of church and state. 1t
may seem odd that the German Gov
ernment Is to-day maintaining the
church that feels aggrieved by its leg
Station. The claim Of the church to
government support originates IN old
treaties and the surrender of valuable
property once belonging to the church.
The simplest way to express
the situation to-day is, that the
Government supports the church
asit supports the schools, to make good
citizens. Since the decree of Papal in
fallibility Bismarck doubts that the
Catholic Church will make good citi-

government support, he has sought,
through it, to make the church what he
thinks it should be to carry out the de-
sign Of making good citizens. The
proposition of the Bishops seems to be
TO abandon their old claims on thepub-
lie treasury and adopt the American
plan of depending on their people for
voluntary support. But will this
change Bismarck's notion about what
sort of citizens they make? d.

IT is intimated from Washington
that Grant is the real cause ot the
troubles between Secretary Belknap
and Gen. Sherman. In other words,
the President insists on being the
active Commander-in-chief of the
Army, and issues his orders through
the War Department without recog-
nizing Sherman's existence. If the
Office of General is superhuous sine
cure, costing the people some eighteen
thousand dollars year, it should be
abolished.

ALSACE.

New YORK, July Ga Berlin CORE
spOndent of the London Times received To-
day, writes that, among the lingering relics
Of the Rheinland, there was, until year
ago, law enabling Bishops to remove act
ing clergy at moments notice and without
assigning any reasons. This license being
abolished by ecclesiastical laws of 1873, the
Bishops who were TO have placed their
clergy on equal footing with the rest of the
German priests within year, are called
upon to do so or TO pay the penalty fixed.
This action Of the government is a severe
disappointment to the ultra MOntaines.
who had been hoping that the l,200 priests
of the Western Rheinland would be ex-
PEELED EN- masSe, proceeding which could
not but have reused even the most luke
warm of their parishioners.
The same correspondent says the resOlu-
tiOns just passed by the general meeting of
the German Catholic societies at Mayence,
began by declaring modern civilization TO
be at variance with the requirements of
their faith and wound up with reserving to
the church the right to decide
which laws are in unison with the
laws of God, aud which are not. On the
basis of this programme, Germany was rep
resented as a country with a servile popula-
tiOn, and the press weighed down by mill
tary deypOtism at home, and endangering
the peace of the world abroad.

The Superintendent Killed.


STONY CREEK, Conn, July 6.-The
train from the Connecticut river for New
Haven ran Off bridge below this place this
morning. Superintendent VIM. w. Wilcox
jumped from the train, and was killed by
the cars falling on him. The baggage car
and five passenger cans went of. Three of
them are bottom up. As near as can be
ascertained about fifty persons We're more
or less injured, but most of them
by bruises. Superintendent Wilcox was
the only one who jumped from the train,
and he alone, so far as known, was killed.
A young man Was found beside Wilcox,
under the car, but is only bruised. Super
intendent Reed is here with a large force
of men, clearing away the wreck. The
rear car was the first to leave the track.
The whole train went of. with the exception
Of the engine. Various TumOrs are aflOat as
to the cause of the accident, the most
probable one being that the switch was
turned before the last car left it. The
bridge is about ten feet high. Six physi-
clans are OH the ground attending the suf-
fererS.
second Dispatch.
The latest accounts Fl ON the railroad dis
asteT on Stoly Creek place the number of
wounded at seventy eight, nearly all slight
w. One baby from Clinton, Conn, has
both legs broken, and is injured internally.
Ii is impossible to obtain the names of the
injured at the present hour.
Every car of the train was overturned.
The engine is partly upright. Tie accident
was caused by the switch becoming misplaced
before the whole train had passed throwing
the last truck from the track. Superintend-
ent Wilcox Of the line, when he saw the
rear car swing off jumped from the bag
gage car to the flats below, 16 feet. The
cars fell on him and broke his neck.
MurderOus ImPatienee.
The cause of the accident is now ascer-
tained to be as follows The switchman
at the west end of the bridge while the
train was passing over his switch became
impatient and shifted the switch before the
last car had passed.
Later-IOz Persons Injured.
The Palladium of tomorrow will con-
tain a list of l01 persons who received inju-
ries, but most of them were not of a serious
character There are two or three whose
cases are critical. Among them is Rev. Z.
f. Hall. of Fair Haven. Several have broken
arms or broken leg. The cOroner's jury
rendered a verdict that the superintendent
came TO his death by reason Of the careless
act Of Station Master Beach. The latter
claims he did not reverse the switch until
the train had passed, and he had noticed
that the lower truck was off the rails. This
explanation is not credited. The train
was purely a local one, and the casualties
are confined with a few exceptions to the
inhabitants Of this city and the adjoining
towns

Another Of those devices that some
females are so full of has come to light.
A young lady of Hutchinson, who is
fair to middling in looks, puts on a
good deal of style and would like to be
popular, and who dwells in a house
that, while it is decent and respecta-
bic, is not grand, had the luck some
time since TO receive an introduction
to a stranger who hailed from
a neighboring town. 1t was at
church she was made acquainted with
him, and he asked to see her home; she
accepted, and they started. 1t occurred
to her as they walked onward that, after
what she had said, it would hardly do
10 enter her humble dwelling, for the
lad might think sne was not what she
seemed. A few houses distant from
hers stands a fine locking residence, be-
fore which she bIlted. He. not
being acquainted with Hutchinson or
her, supposed, of course, that every
thing was all right, and left the gate
with bright visions dancing through
his brain, while she hid behind the
stoOp until he got out of sight, and
then went home happy.

BURNING OF a SCHOOL.HOTSE
Hartsyille Sentinel, July 3
The school-house at Beech Grove, a
few miles from Hartsville, was totally
DESTROYED by fire on Sunday last. The
building was a twO-st0Ty frame, the
upper portion beiug used as lodge
room by the Good Templars and Pa
irons of Husbandry. On Saturday
night the Good Templars had used the
hall, but no one that had any business
on the premises was in the building on
Sunday. On Sunday night at a late
hOm some colored folks were passing
in the neighborhood and saw a light in
the lodge room. On their nearing
the premises the light was blown
out. Some little time afterward the
building was discovered to be on fire
and was totally consumed. The whole
of the Good Templars' regalia, books
and papers were destroyed, together
with MANY books belonging to the
school. TIE Grangers did not keep
their books IN the lodge room. The
only way in which the fire can be ac-
counted for is tlat the building had
been entered with the idea that possibly
some money was kept in the lodge
room, and that it had been set on fire
20 cover all traces of the robbery.
Fires of suspicious origin are becoming
much too frequent in this neighbor-
hood, and it is high time some vigorous
steps were taken to find out the incen-
diaries and bring them to the punish
ment they richly deserve.
