THE POPE.
THE OPINION OF PROFESSOR vANZET.
I'll, ITALY'S GREAT PHYSICIAN.
Various RumOrs Concerning the Pope's
Condition.

LONDON, November Is. Relative to the Pope's
condition. a special says he was utterly broken
down about two weeks ago. After period of I'M
consciousness he revived slightly, Saturday morn
ing, last As night came on. however, he grew
worse again. The death-rattle was heard in his
throat, he seemed sinking, and his condition
affirmed his attendants.
During Sunday he rallied, but as the sore in his
leg, which had served as a safety valve. had
closed, SiRnor Ceccarei and colleague being un
willing to assume the responsibility of prescribing
further for the patient, summoned Professor Van
Zetti, the greatest physician in Italy.
When Professor Tanzetti bad examined the pa
tent, he expressed the opinion that there was no
chance of recovery. He thought when death ar
rived, it would be without the least warning. He
recommended extreme caution lest syncope might
be mistaken for death.
Every time the Pope rallies he is perfectly con.
scious. He is determined to receive guests to the
last. He was slightly better Monday, and was
propped up in bed to receive the Santa Rosa As
ISOLATION and deputation OF ladies'.
Reuters kilograms from Rome say there is ne
foundation for the alarming rumors current a
Paris yesterday about the Pope's health, who i.
still a sufferer from weakness, but whose condi
ton has not recently become worse.
ROME, November Is. The Pope is better TO-
day. lie gave an audience to several persons.

The French Agitation.
THE VIOLENT RESOLUTION Of
FERED.
Alarm in Consequence of its Denuncia.
ton of M minister's.

LONDON, November 10. A despatch from Par
is saws:
"Tne violent terms of yesterdays resolution for
alarm in consequence Of the severity of its denun-
citation of ministers, who are censurable o. in re-
bellion against the sovereignty of the nation.
However, the explanations relieved President
Mac Mahon of the responsibility Of all recent I'M
easness.
In the face Of this resolution and committee's
report under it, the cabinet cannot survive in the
presence of the chamber which accuses 1t. IL
must either disappear again resort to some vio-
lent measure.
1t is said the marshal will again prorogue the
Chamber for a month, which Is the limit of his
power. This will serve nothing unless some coup
detat is effected during the prorogue. Others say
the cabinet will retire and the marshal will form
another exactly like it. This would involve con-
tIct in another form.
Nobody talks Of adhesion by the marshal TO the
verdict of the country, yet can affirm that coun-
sells of Cancellation are coming from every corner
OF Europe, and all cabinets which can make their
voice heard, from Canov isabel Castillo to Gorts-
chakof, and from Bismarck to Andrassy and Sig
nor Depreta, have given counsels Of moders-
ton"
1t cannot be supposed that in view of this unan-
unity and of the flood of irritation rising on all
sides, the marshals advisers will still impel him
along he fatal path which must lead to his fall,
or to unconstitutional acts.
1t is affirmed that should the Senate agree to Q
fresh dissolution, the Chamber would not submit
to 1t, which would force government to abandon
Its footing of sham con3titutionalism, and show
that Il shrinks from violence.

SONS used but Cornelius had. The other child

Railroad Accident.


PORTSMOUTH, November ID. About o'cloc k
this afternoon, freight engine % with three emp
ty freight cars plu nged through the open draw Of
the Portsmouth bridge, going to the bottom of
the river. IL seems that the outward bound
schooner Nellie. lumber laden, had just gone
through the BRIDGE and before the draw tender
had time to close the draw, extra train con-
sisting of an eng inc, saloon and five freight
, cars, bound to Wotboro' Junction, approached
at good speed, aud the eng neer, Hiram Goodwin,
not discovering the signal in time to stop the train
it went over as above stated, three cars only re-
naming on the track.
Goodwin, who is from North Conway, with the
fireman, II. G. Sawyer of Wolfboro Junction,
jumped, landing on the bridge, one 10 the right
and the other to the left, thereby saving them
selves, and sustaining no injury. A train hand
named George L. Brown, Of Parsonsfeld, who
was on the top of a box car went down with the
train, but quickly rose to the surface and chung
TO the piles of the bridge until rescued by ropes.
He received severe cut on the left side and ad
| his feet jsmmed.
One of the cars soon after came up, being bad
ly smashed, strong tide carrying it up the river,
where it was besieged by a crowd of boats in
search of refu &c material.
The engine VIII ich was formerly the Newhury
port, and will be remembered as being in the Re-

| 81 this point. 1t is impossible to tell what her

The accident occurred in almost the yery spot
where the schooner Ceres sank last year. Freight
agent Barrett was speedily on the spot with an
other train, hence no delay was caused In the reg
ular business of the road. The bridge was not
injured.

1t is now several years since the State Agricultur-
al Society held fair near this city. The society
has as yet probably, made no engagement for the
next year. 1t is believed, however, that other cit
les have made overtures to secure the next exhibit
ton, in order to draw crowd, and hence business
to their several localities; but there is reason
why the claims of Augusta should not be present.
ed and receive due consideration. Should suita-
BILE grounds and buildings be provided by the
citizens, it is likely that the society will execute
costract to come here and remain for term Of
years. provided they be given the option of taking
at any time the whole property, at a previously
fixed valuation.
