ola Ca,heIic Conference,

BONN August Il In attendance at
the old Catholic conference, which
opened is session hete to-day, there are
about thirty English and American cler-
gymen and several anchorite5 and bish-
ops cf the Eastern church. Among the
American divines are Rev. DCs. Lang
don, Nevin, Pstter and Psrrey. DR..
D0llirger opeI e the proceedings with
an address, which lasted an hour. He
treated Of the relation Of the dogmatic
controversy between the Latin and the
Greek churches through the whole
course of their ecclesiastical history. At
the conclusion Of his address the confer
ence entered upon the business for which
it had met, which was the consideration
of DR.. DOiingeI's plan OF confederation
and inteTcOm muniOn among the separate
churches. This union is to be based
on the mutual recognition Of the primi-
tive church, which may enable each
church to admit members Of other COM
muniOns to its privileges in respect Of
divine worship and christian sacraments.
At the same time an actual fusion or
sacrifice Of national or Traditional pecu-
iiarities Of the former church constitu-
ton is not contemplated. Ambiguous
expression OF the substance Of christian
doctrine and practice, as taught by the
bible and the fathers OF the ancient
church, is sought as the real bond Of
union. Ths discussion Of the subject
occupied the remainder of to-day's sit

MILFORD, Pa, August 9.--A destruct-
i've storm Of wind, hail and rain swept
over the lower part Of this county last
Thursday afternoon. A bout hsif. past
four O'clock two large clouds, enc mov-
lrg rapidly in d nOrthwesterly direction
and the other to the southeast, came to-
gether over the mOuntsiG rsnge about
two miles below DingmsD's ferry, in
Delaware township. The collision was
followed by a terrific report, and almost
instantly great volumes Of water began
pouring down. In very short space
OF time every Iavine and hollow in
the mountain side for ten miles be-
came the bed Of e rushing tor
rent Of water which swept into The
Delaware valley, upr0oting large trees
ia their course, and displ4ci9g huge
r2cks, which we're borne along into the
fields below. Hundreds Of acres Of corn
and buckwheat fields were covered by
these streams, and The crops totally de.
stTOyed, Miles OF fences were swept
away, and many cattle feeding in The
pastures were drowned. Before the fury
Vi the rain storm was over, a gale of
wind, accompanied with terrific thunder
and lightning aud a shower CfiATge hail
siOneS, followed in It's track. Tees
were torn up sDd carried from a quarter
TO q half mile through the air, one
large chestnut being borne cl OF
across the Delaware river and turned up
side down in q cOrntield in Sussex cGun-
ty, New Jersey. Barns were unTOOfed,
and hundreds Of windows n farmhUuses
shattered. The roof OF Esquire Van
Gaden's farm was carried across 8 ten
acre field and lodged in the tops Of two
large Cak trees. Three children return
ing home from an erTRnd at DingmaE's
village, sought shelter from the storm
in small cleft il the rocks at the side
OF the chill road.n A big chestnut tree
was blown down, Snd fell III front Of the
opening in the rocks, imprisOning the
children therein. After the storm had
sIbsided they attracted the attention Of
a man passing along the road by their
shouts. Being unable to remove the
tree from the opening, he summoned
neighbOripg farmers, and they cut
the obstruction away and released
the children. The storm lasted about
half an hour. Hail-stOnss niUe inches
in circumference were picked up in the
fields, and the hail had fallen in such
large quantities that bushels OF it could
be shOveled up twenty-fOur hours after
il fell. No correct estimate of the
amount of damage done by the storm
has yet been made, but it viii amount
to several thousand dollars. A similar
storm passed over portions Of the towns
OF Thompson and Hilisburgh, in Sulli-
van county, New York, las. week. It's
course was in 3 circle and covered an
area of country about half e mile wide
Its track is marked by pies OF fallen
trees, shattered buildings, ruined fields
of corn aud buCkwheati and roads so
badiy quilted and torn up as to be inn
pESsaDie.

The warnings conveyed in the AP-
PEAL from day to day since the rains
and floods set in, were not, as some
seem to thi-k, baseless. The special re-
port from the weather bureau, to-day,
says definitely that the river Will con-
inue to rise, and that the danger line
will he reached to-day or tomorrow.
THIS, with The fact that it is one foot
eight inches above the danger lire at
Helena, aud only nine inches below the
danger line at Vicksburg, and still ris-
ing, together with the advancing tides
flowing out OF the Arkansas, White
and st. Francis rivers, leaves little
hore that the Mississippi side
OF the river below Us will not fare as dis
astrous'y as wss reported OF the Arkan-
sas by cur special commissioner. The
ssep and taekwster are already at work
in Mississippi, and the people are not
quite as easy ia their minds as they were
on Saturday, since which there has
been rise OF nine inches. The loss SO
far is heavy, some putting it as high as
one huudred thousand bales Of cotton.
This We hope will not prove true, but it
is we'll TO be prepared for the worst.

New YORK, August 12.-The sxecu-
tive committee Of the Western Union
telegraph yesterday appointed q COM
mittee to confer with the representatives
Of the Atlantic ana Pacific in regard to
the constellation OF interests. Presi-
dent Ort9n Of The Western Union teie-
graph company, in g published letter
Jhis evening, says that the Western
Union company csn use TO advantage,
and may absolutely require within the
next Twelve months ten thousand miles
OF additional wires. If these additional
facilities can be acquired Of companies
now using them in competition with US
cheaper than We can erect them, clear
lY 1T would be for cur interest to buy
out such companies rather than TO erect
new wires, but we have made no prOpO-
siti0n for the purchase of any competing
lines, and no proposition has beeL made
to us that would be for the interest of
the Western Union to accept. The
EUeRingPOSt is authority for announcing
that the Western Union yesterday ap-
pointed a committee to confer with the
Atlantic and Pacific company. Two
meetings Of the executive committee
Of the Western Union telegraph COM
pany were held yesterday, when, it is
believed, were considered negotiations
for consolidation with the Atlantic and
Pacific company. President OTtOn says:
q All not prepared just now 10 make

he don't think it right that the dOings OF
