. BEBNE, Aug. 18.——The people Of Switzer-
j land had hardly ”recovered from the rail-
, road scare caused by the terrible accident at
, lives and about 3(1) were injured, when
they were startled, by another wholesale
details of the accident as received here are
as follows : _
A special excursion train, which was
in connection with the 700th anniversary
of the foundation of the city of Berne,
was stopped at a siding a. short distance
from its destination in order to allow the
regular Paris express to pass. .
The engineer of the express, as nearly as
can now be ascertained, had not been no-
tified that the excursion train was on the
track ahead of him, and the conductor of
the excursion train seems to have neglect-
. ed to send a signal man back to protect
the rear of his train while the shunt was
being arranged.
Saw Them Crushed to Death.
The express, running at high speed,
came upon the excursion train so sud-
denly that the engineer’s efforts to check
its speed and avoid disaster were unavail-
ing. The heavy express dashed into the
rear of the excursion train, demolishin
the guards’ van, which was empty, an
forcing its way through the rear coach.
The passengers in the second coach Were
nearly all killed or injured. '
The trainmen, assisted by the passengers
who had escaped in ury, set to work im-
mediately to rescue t e unfortunates Who
were imprisOned' in the wreck. Heart-
rending cries of agonyl came from the piled
up cars and nerved t em to almost super-
human efiorts, but in spite of their exer-
tions they were forcedto witness the death
before their eyes of several who had not
been killed outright, but were crushed by
broken timbers or exposed to the escaping
steam from the locomotive.
Thirteen Corpses Taken Out.
Thirteen corpses were taken out of t e
debris, and the injured were finally extgs
caused and cared for, as wel as the con i-
tions of the place permitte , endin the
arrival of a special train from erne hich
had been telegraphed for, and which con-
veyed physicians and surgeons to the
scene.
Most of the victims of the disaster were
residents of towns in the vicinity f this
city, and the news of the calamity has
caused great excitement and mourning all
through this region. . The sad accident has
marred the festivities incident to the cele-
bration in which the Bernese have been
so joyousl-y engaged, and he remaining
fetes on the rogramme wil doubtless be
abandoned in consequence. ‘
Serious State of Affairs in China.
SHANGHAI, Au . 18.—-There is no di
guising the fact t at a most serious ate 6
of affairs political exists in this country
at present, and the combined fleets of the
powers may be called upon at any moment
to take action.
In this city at present great excitement
prevails at the increased and still increas-
in tension between the Chinese govern-
ment and the ministers of the forei
powers. From appearances the former s
obstinate in its refusal to redr‘ es the in—
jury done to foreigners during t e recent
riots. It is said the government dares not
take this step for fear of incurring a storm
of popular disapproval; in any case there
is no doubt as to the obstinacy of the re«
fusal to right t e wrongs inflicted upon
the foreign resi nts of China.
On the other hand, there is also no rea-
son to doubt that if the Chinese author-
ities do not yield to the firm demands of
the ministers of the powers, concerted,
hostile action upon the part of the war
vessels of the various nations represented
in these waters is imminent.
Such is the state of afiairs. It is now
known that the foreign ministers have in-
joint naval demonstration of an efi'ective
nature, in which the French, American,
British and German squadrons will take
part, will be ordered in the near future,
unless speedy reparation is made for the
injuries, outrages and abuses complained
of.
France Has a Holy Coat.
LONDON, Aug. 18.——The rivalry between
France and Germany is reaching Curious
lengths. This was illustrated- yesterday
in the exhibition of the Holy Coat 0f Ar-
genteuil.
No sooner did it become known a few
weeks ago that the ecclesiastical authori-
ties of Treves, in Rhenish Prussia, were
about to exhibit a garment claimed to
have been worn by the Saviour than the
French were alive to deprive the Germans
’as far as possible of the honor and profit.
It appears that Ar enteuil, within easy
access by rail from aris, also possesses a
coat said to have belonged to Christ. Ar-
rangements were promptly made for the
exhibition of the relic. Sunday was chosen
as the opening day, several days ahead of
the first ' public view at Treves. Crowds
went from Paris and other localities to see
the holy vestment. .
The exhibition was in every way success-
ful, and is said to have caused propor-
tionate chagrin at Treves, which will prob-
ably lose a multitude of expected French
Catholic visitors.

BERLIN, ”Aug. 18.—A disturbance oc-

but they still refuse to work. The ring-

Hired Man Time.
An‘oldish couple, who had come in by
the Erie road, were crossing on a Pa-

asked her husband about the time of day.
It was about 2 o’clock by the right time,
but he looked at his big silver watch and
replied that it was 3.
“But they said we’d get there about
2,” she protested. ‘
“Train might have been late.”
“It wasn’t quite 2 by the clock in the
depot.” .
“He took out his bullseye again for
another look, held it up to his ear to see

A Splendid Opportunity for a Nlce
Home at Small Cost.
—Iu the chances of business I have
come into the posession of four pretty
cottages in Wilton, Conn. g Each cost
eighteen hundred dollars to build,
without the land. They are within
three minutes walk of the depot of the
Danbury and Norwalk Railroad, upon
the main road,convenient to the stores,
schools and churches, and are very at-
tractive homes. They are new, well
and tastefully painted and papered and
each have good-sized lots. I will sell
them at fifteen hundred dollars each?
At this’price a man can live in Wilton
and work in Norwalk, and at an expen-'
diture of ten or twelve" dollars per
month cover his interest, taxes and.
commutation ; can give his children
every advantage of first-class schools,
notably Professor Olmstead’s academy,-
(a very superior classical 'school,)-can
have a hou'Se and plenty of ground for
his own family and put that family in
first-class associations and society. . I
shall be pleased to show this property
to any one contemplating a purchase.
It will be sold on easy terms to reliable
