THE MEETING OF THE TWO EMPERoRs
IN BERLIN-THE WAR ALARM

IN BERLIN-THE WAR ALARM.
LONDON, May 1O.-This mornings
Telegraph, in an article on the meeting
of the Emperors of Russia and Ger
many to-day, says: at is impossible TO
conceal the truth that the Continental
situation wears this morning the very
gravest aspect. If we were to say that
the question of the future repose of Eu-
rope may be practically solved before
forty-eight hours have passed, We should
scarcely go beyond the facts. The
tendency at this hour is decidedly pacI-
fic."
Other London journals like wise com :
ment on the meeting, but the thought of
war is generally dlscredited.
1t is reported from Paris that the
French Government positively con-
tradicts the assertion that Germany has
recently made representations of a hos
tile tendency. The same dispatch con-
tains a statement, believed to be semi
official, that no cause of conflict exists
between Germany and France, and that
advices from all the capitals of Europe
are of the same tenor, that pacific ideas
are everywhere in the ascendant
LONDON, May 1.-THE Times, in a
leading editorial, says: 1--WE believe
the Gar Is resolved TO hold the most de-
cided language in favor of the maInten-
ance of peace, and to use every effort to
pnt a stop to the present alarm. \ few
days will probably bring forth official
disclaimers of the recent reports. 1t is
possible it viii be said that there is
nothing to justify the French apprehen-
sions, but there should be no mistake
on this point. As long as the present
conditions remain there must be uneasi-
ness, even danger, An unforeseen in
cident, an outburst of jealousy may pre-
cipitate rupture. The Car is unable
TO guarantee that France will not at
tack Germany within a few years
Gigantic armaments are a mutual men,
ace. While they exist it is beyond the
power of even imperial peace-makers
to allayapprehension.

FIRE-NARRow EscAPE.-On Yesterday
Tuesday afternoon, a fire broke out in King
Irvine Factory, in New Hope. The fire olisi,
mated on the second floor Of the mill, in the
"picker-room VA small room partitioned off
for the picker machine-caused probably by a
nail or some other piece of iron or hard sub
stance which had passed into. it's cylinder,
striking fire, which immediately ignited the
dry tow and communicated itself to the larger
body which had accumulated at the end of
the machine. Two large dust flues running
to the upper stories of the mill, were immedi-
ately torn out, saving the building from this
enlargement. Luckily, Mr.. King had order
cd quantity of water tosbe kept standing in
this room, short time SINCE in buckets,
&C., by which, in case of emergency, fire
might be extinguished before getting under
way. The latter wise forethought saved the
mill. The smoke and flame were now issuing
ately sounded. Mr.. Deer, the foreman of the
mill, and all hands fought the flames
with commendable zeal, and succeeded, BY the
aid Of water, in battling its spread from the
room, until the eagle |" steamer got into ac-
ton, after which it was soon extinguished. The
fire department of Lambertville also prompt
ly turned out but did not get into service. Mr..
King showed his gratitude to the "Eagle ;"
Co. in substantial manner--prcsenting their
Treasurer with check for $i0

RuNAwAY.-On Wednesday evening about
nine o'clock, as Mr.. Keightley was driving
Mayor Palmer's horse in the vicinity of 9th
street, the horse became frightened and ran
down Harrison street at a terrible speed Mr..
Keightley's little grandson, Walter Palmer,
was in the wagon with him, and when they
were between I'd and Sd streets the little fell
low fell out of the wagon. He sustained
severe injuries about the head. The bit
broke and the horse ran down to Bridge
street, and in turning the cornerfell in front
of G. II. Slater's tin shop. Mr.. Keightley
was violently thrown to the sidewalk and the
wagon was wrecked. Some men were stand
ing on the sidewalk at the time and narrowly
escaped being struck. In fact we understand
that Mr.. Schug received painful blow on his
foot. Mr.. Keightley received some very
severe bruises and was unconscious for short
time, and the little boy was yet unconscious
on Thursday at noon, although he is not sup
posed to be fatally injured. - rencAtown IN

ice cream, and it will be interesting to AIR. c.
ID. Barber, and few Others, to learn Chat Mr.
Solomon forgot his own horse and went home
without him, and that the poor animal was
obliged to stand at the post all night, and he
is not a ocribber" either Remarkable case,
though not without precedent.l During the
dark hours of the Southern rebellion great
warrior dismounted one evening at Mount
Airy, hitched his horse, fought fearful bat
| tie (by word of mouth) with the rebel gener-
! al Magruder, and was so much elated over the
| victory he won that be forgot his horse and
went home on foot, and the next morning a
| about to call out the horse company when it
just popped into bis mind where bis horse
was We do not know who will be entitled
e the county premium BY fan time but we
think the Captain who went TO stockton in
stead of Mount Airy Station, still about a
half length in advance.
Having heard considerable about railroad
ing, we concluded to take a trip for the bcne-
fit of our health, and accordingly stepped
aboard of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS p M, train
at Lambertville. The conductor gave the
signal to move forward and we were soon
flying up the old Alexsauken at the rate Of
about nine knots an hour. Mount Airy De-
pot was passed without a halt, but at BARRIERS
Station, small town just back of Dory Hop
pock's, and the home of an author, two mora
passengers were taken on board and we pro-
ceeded on our journey at fearful pace---so
fast that one could scarcely count the ties, but
we feared no danger as we were accompanied
by an Angel and after pleasant ride, ar
rived at Ringoes, early in the afternoon
Here long halt was made, and becoming
anxious to learn the cause of delay, we poked
our head out and discovered the railroaders
preparing to take fish. Some one had been
sent to dig bait and we were obliged to wait,
but we like fish and were entirely satisfied
with the arfangeuent. All completed We
were off like a streak Of molasses, down
stone fence, and in due time arrived at Cop
per Hill where it will be remembered there is
fine stream of water which has just recent
ly been stocked, and hero we were permitted
to nibble a few crackers and take a nap while
our worthy conductor and his subordinates
INDUCED in a small game Of fish, though we
believe the catch was small but the fishing
business depends on luck and SO does the
chances of ever reaching Pennington by rail-
road. But now that our health is very much
improved, and our confidence in the ability of
the New Jersey Pa. Railroad Co. attending to
their own business entirely mistaken, we
leave them to manage their own affairs and
advise all who contemplate a trip over the
Pennington branch to provide at least one full
ration.

MOUNT AnY, N. J., JUNE ID, 1875.

It was not our intention to scratch and fight
during the long days and warm weather, but
as matters are growing desperate, forbearance
ceases to be a virtue. The Colorado Potato
Bug is upon us and we have been warned that
we are liable to be attacked by the unmerciful
grass-hoppers and spelling bees at any mo-
ment. And It was only last Saturday evening
that young Solomon, Junior, came to our town
on horseback and after hitching his nags as
only country lads know how to do, he accept
ed an invitation to ride to the city with a
friend for the purpose of refreshing the inner
man by an application Of Capt. Days capital

Ey- 1t will be remembered that a few years
ago the Hillsborough Mutual and the Read
ington Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Companies made a standing offer of $500 re-
ward for the apprehension of any person
found guilty of setting fire to any building in
sured in either Company. About year ago,
the barn of Finley Holcombe, situate near
Reaville, was set on fire and destroyed and
one of the Companies (the Hillsborough, we
Think had the insurance to pay. Ex-Sheriff
George B. Holcombe, set himself to work
ferreting out the incendiary, and soon he
traced the crime to young man in Mr. Hol-
combe's employ, and he is now serving the
State at Trenton. In recognition of Sheriff
Holcombe's services, at their annual meeting
this Spring, the Hillsborough Company
promptly paid their half of the reward, and
the Reading Company responded by laying
over $3.50 to the Sheriff, promising the other
hundred at an early day. W
The above is purely business transaction,
and while Sheriff Holcombe may be considered
lucky to have SO easily poeketed this clever
bunch of money, it was due him according to
the promise of two reliable fire insurance
companies. But here is luck On the day
the Directors of the Mercer County Fire In
surance Company held their meeting, the
Sheriff was requested to be present, and he
complied. The officers of the Company
greeted him most courteously, and by all
hands he was treated with the utmost cor
duality. In fact, he was made quite a lion of,
and after partaking of a good dinner with the
Board, he was presented with check on the
company for $3.50. Upon his asking the
meaning of this unexpected wind-fall, he was
told that it was for bringing to justice the in
cendiary above referred to. This was a
generous deed on the part of the Mercer
County Company. They were not the losers
by the fire. They had heard Of it and of the
results of Sheriff Holcombe's detective exploit,
and in rewarding him the Company seems to
have been prompted by the desire which
should actuate us all-that he who applies het
incendiary torch should be hunted down and
punished. - Hunterdon Democrat.
