The correspondence about the monstrous
accusation brought against Sir Robert
MOrier by the German Press has been
pretty active during the week, and has
brought out most cOncluslvely that, in the
first place Marshal Bagains could not have
been first informed by Mr.. MOrier or any
one else on the night OF the 18th OF tho
morning OF the 10th August, 1870, that
the Germans had crossed the MOselle and
were in his neighbOurhood, since his
troops were engaged with the German
troops by that time, and, indeed, the TSmee
OF August 18th had told all the world OF
the German advance in the second place
th3t the German papers are themselves
getting ashamed OF their conduct, and
after actually going so tar as to hint that
Sir X. MOrier must have himself forged
the wretched French of poor old Marshal
BaZalne'S fiat denial that he bad ever
sand anything OF the kind, or that any.
thing OF the kind had happened, now eil.
deAvOur TO withdraw the whole accusation
by Suggesting that it WAS some other Mr..
MOrieT, and not the diploMatiBt at Darn
Htadt, TO whom the early disclosure WAS
due. As' it appears perfectly certain that
no telegram Hent on the day named could
have contained any early news for the
Marshal Of the German movement acrOAW
the MOselle, 1t becomes obvious that the
whole story Is q fabrication from begin
ming to end, and ia worthless except to
illustrate how great the wrath OF the Bis.
marCkS against Sir Robert must have
been. What WAS the. secret Of that wrath,
We have yet to learn. Certainly it was
not any attempt OF Sir r. Morier's 10
meddIc dishonesty Or 'otherwise) in the
defence VI E~rance.-Ibid.

THIRTY DROWNED.
Men and Boys Swept With q Bridge
Into the Susquehanna.

A frightful calamity has occurred at
Williamsport Penn. Thirty persons, the
majority of them. boys under eighteen years
Of age, were swept from a bridge into the
Susquehanna River and drowned in the
presence of hundreds Of spectators
A great throng' stood on the banks OF the
river watching its mad rush. On wooden
bridge spanning the stream about forty per-
sons were looking at the fotsan that was dash
ing down. Suddenly there came cry of warn
ing from those on shore. A great mass
recognized as the ruins of q building
known as the Beach Mil, came into sight and
was borne swiftly toward the bridge. The
water was almost level with the floor of the
structure and rs the splintered doors and
pisces of roof, piled in confused but COM
pact mass. reached the bridge there was a
crash. Two CT three men nearest the
shore leaped into safety The others
had no time to think, mich less to act In
All instant the bridge was crushed into frag-
ments and thirty-three Inen and boys were
plunged into the seething torrent. Three of
them managed to reach shore, br1t the re-
manning thirty perished within sight of the
hundreds on the banks.
Two strong, handsome boys, evidently
good swimmers, made desperate effort to
stem the current. A heavy oaken door
struck one of them in the head and crushed
in his skull. The other boy was buried be-
meath huge piece Of roof and was seen no
more. In less than ten minutes after the
bridge had been struck not one Of the vic
TINS was to be seen.

Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, has is

Newspaper reports as to the loss of life
and property have not been exaggerated.
The valley Of the Conemaugh, which is pecu-
liar, has been swept from one end to the other
as with the besom Of destruction. 1t con-
tained population of 40, 900 to so, 900 people,

Tho most conservative estimates place the
loss of life at 5000 human beings and of prop
erty Mt S25, ,000, 900.
''Those who are least able to bear it have
suffered tho loss of everything. Tho most
pressing needs, so far as food is concerned,
have been supplied. Shoes and clothing Of
all sorts for men, women and children are
greatly needed. Money is also urgently re-
Quired to remove the debris. bury the dead,
and care temporarily fo- widows and orphans
and for the homeless generally.
"a careful organization has been made
upon the ground for the distribution Of what
ever assistance is furnished in kind. The Ad-

MEMORIAL DAY.
General Observance Through.
out the Country.
President Harrison Present at the
Exercises in Brooklyn.

Memorial Day, the day of national sorrow,
when the people of the great Republic hold
their bivouac of the dead, was never more
fittingly observed than thisyear. There was
little pomp or display; everything was solemn
and in keeping with the day. ALI thoughts
were centred on doing reverence to those who
had fallen in the great struggle.
The Decoration Day celebration in Brook
1yn was especially impressive and interesting.
President Harrison came on from Wash.
ington on Wednesday night, remained over
night at the home of Mr.. Joseph +. Knapp In
the Eastern District, held a reception in the
morning, and then drove in an open coach
over large part of the city to Washington
Park, where he reviewed the procession. The
line was formed according to the orders OF
the grand marshal, and at 1880 the column
was set in motion.
The troops marched in Bedford, Lafayette,
Clermont and Willoughby avenues to Wash.
ington Park, where the right halted and all
the organizations dressed to the left along the
curb. When the ranks were formed the
President rode down the line, while each band
played Hail to the Chief"
It was 1890 P. n. when the review began.
The line was led by squad of mounted
police, preceding Grand Marshal Knight and
his staff, United States Artillery, marines and
4OulVScu COlulI1LuC VI SllAOAo Sho"So okiO
Regular Army drill. General James Nc
Lear commanded the entire Second Brig
ade, including the 18th, 32d, 47th, 14th
and 23d regiments and the Sd Battery.
The troops were in the State service
uniform of blue, with white helmets belts
and leggings except the 2Sd Regiment, the
members of which wore their new gray uni
forms, with white epaulets and black helmets
with gold braid. The war veterans of the
4Sth, 14th and 165th New York Volun-
teers bore their tattered flags and
were loudly cheered. The war vete-
rams of the Police Department led the way
for the thirty Grand Army of the Republic
Posts, each preceded by band. The colored
posts attracted much attention from their
fine appearance. Half dozen Of the organ
izations of the Sons Of Veterans, with their
boy bands, made good showing. A bat
talon of letter-carrierS bore beautiful flags
and two bodies of public-school boys marched
with much precision. The Knights of Sher-
wood Forest and firemen with their red
shirts made a picturesque ending to the
pageant. The wagons bearing flowers for the
soldiers graves brought up the rear. The
column numbered about 12 900 men.
After passing the reviewing stand, the
route was continued to Flatbush avenue and
Hanson Place, where the other organizations
were dismissed, and the Grand Army Of the
Republic posts were formed in five divisions
to 60 to the various cemeteries.
The President returned to Washington i'm
mediately after the termination Of the Brook
lyn parade.
