‘ cued by a boat from the Diamante. Many of those who were in t lie bout when it left the C’imbria were drowned upon i?s capsizing, and many others, after reaching the rigging, v.< re obliged to release riieir hold and were drowned. The survivors describe the scenes as horrible and heart-rending. All oi* them praise in the highest terin> the conduct of the captain and crew of the Fimbria. who never moved from their po:s and did everything in the power of man to save life until they themselves were curried down in the waves. Tlie rescued pas--vngers uiftrm that while they were in the rgging the lights of the Sultan were clearly visinle.and rimt their cries for help must have been heard on board the Sultan, which, instead of coming to the rescue, steamed away. Most of the survivors present a miserable M*pearanre. having lost evervthing. Since landing here everything possible has been done for them. Home have been sent hack i* their homes, and the remainder will continue ther voyage on Wednesday. THE SULTAN SEIZED AND HER OFFICERS IMPRISONED. • A Frankfort dispatch says: ‘ The Frankfurter Journal announces that the officers of the steamer Sultan have been placed in jail. ’ A London telegram says: “A dispatch from Hamburg states that tlie steamer Sultan has been seized by the police. Her caplain assorts flint he waited at the scene of the disaster twelve hours after the collision.” Sinking of tlie Pouiiuerania. Few York Herald. The loss of tlie Cimbria recalls to mind the terrible disaster to the Ponunerunia, of the same line, on Nov. 26, 1878, off Dover. Shortly before 1.2 o’clock that night, on a rovage from New York to Hamburg, after having touched at Cherbourg, siie collided with the English bark Moel Lilian, and sank within thirty minutes. There were 226 passengers on board. A few went ashore at Plymouth and several were landed at Cherbourg. The night of the collision was intensely dark and a drizzling rain was falling. The Moel Lilian was of iron, and the blow given the Pommerania disabled her engines at once. Captain Schwensen and one of his officers were on the bridge at the time of the collision. The bark was left in the darkness, owing to the speed of the steamer, and when it was desired to answer the cries for help that were heard from the smaller craft it was discovered that the machinery would not move. The sfearner came to a dead stop and began to drift helplessly on the ocean swell. The boats were then, the only hope of safety. It was quickly reported that the engine room was flooded; that half the fires were out and that the vessel would not float more that half an hour. The bulkhead openings throughout the ship were closed by tlie direction of the captain and the passengers at once aroused. The boats, save two that had been crushed, were ordered to be lowered. Signal rockets were fired and the whistle loudly blown. Below deck the greatest consternation prevailed. The passengers not thoroughly awakened by the shock and noise of the collision were soon made aware of the terrible condition of affairs. Many of the passengers went on deck in their night clothes. None had time to save anything. Without thinking of life belts, a rush was made for the boats. It was the opinion of those saved that had the life belts been used not a person would have been lost. a? the sea was very smooth. Tlie excitement of the passengers could not be allayed. One of the six boats was swamped in tlie attempt to lower it. ami four men who were in her tending the blocks ami get tine out the oars were dumped into the sea. The boat hung by the sler?. tackle, and before the ro;>es could be cut more than thirty people sprang over the vessel’s side inti# the half-sunken craft. The boat rapsized. and, with a few exceptions, all these people were drowned. Now. the panic became general. Men and women rushed frantically hither and thither; some knelt silently in prayer. Shrieks and prayers were heard, mingled with tlie commands of the officers and the wrangling of the crew. Many of the passengers had to be dragged over the steamer’s side, so terror-stricken were they. Five boats were soon in the water loaded with human freight. Some of the passeneers refused to enter the boats, notwithstanding the entreaties of the officers, and finding delay useless the five boats pulled away from the sinking ship, leaving about twenty passengers and Captain Sell we use n *n board. The Captain remained on the bridge. The fires were out; the whistle could no longer be blown for want of steam; the steamship was lost and the shore six miles away. Captain Schwensen jumped overboard at the last moment, and after a desperate struggle in the water found a spar, aided by which he floated for an hour and a half. He afterward said that he seemed to he utterly alone on the surface of the water, until at last the steamer City of Amsterdam came in sight, and in answer to his shouts picked him up. Captain Schwensen was ill for a long time on account of the shock to his nervous system. About fifty persons were lost by the collision. Captain Schwensen arrived in New York from Hamburg on April 5. 1879. anil the fines on the City Hall were displayed in his honor. A deputation from the Common Council visited him to tender the congratulations of tlie people and government of the city of New York and the use of the Governor’s room, and to arrange for a reception which was tendered him on April 7. on which occasion Mayor ( ’ooper presented him withs finely engrossed address. Captain Schwensen. in May, 1882, completed his one hundred and fiftieth round trip across the Atlantic, and on May 13, that year, lie wa3 rendered a reception by the Arion Society in honor of the event. On his return to Hamburg he was made “commodore of the fleet" by the German government. THE RAILWAY HORROR The Coroner's Verdict— Statement of a Rescued P:*esj;ei\ Han Francisco, .Tan. *22.—A Tehcchipi dispatch says: ‘‘Tne coroner’s jury found a verdict in the train disaster case, to the effect that the victims came to their death by the neglect of Conductor Reed and Brukeman Batten. The verdict is not approved by tbe coroner." Two bodies have been identified as those of Thomas Keegan and Ford Grom fort, discharged soldiers of Company H, Sixth cavfi'LV. John T. Cassell, one of the sleeping-car fliassengors, arrived in the city yesterday. Zio reports: “1 think it roust have been but a few’ moments after the train started that. I awoke and 'realized we were in danger, but how 1 couldn’t tell. We were riuhi ig along the mountain-side at fearful speed, and in a few seconds the crash • a me.

As quickly as possible l was on my feet, ■•corking tu wake an exit through the masse* v finer which we were buried, to save myself ?-:.d other occupants of the train. Everywhere I found myself liemned in by masses r * wreck .ere. My wife, I think, was killed jhy tlie first shock, as her hands were cold whan 1 touched them, and my calls remained dans wo red. 1 cleared a passage-way along A)#e hog chains for some seventeen feet, till 1 ercuchea a place near where Mrs. Squires was I heard her scream fur succor. f>ho tolj uie the was uninjured, but merely

unable to get out of the window. The flames began breaking through where I was working. and I was driven back to where 1 knew no hope for escape existed, retreating merely to avoid a fiery death. I went back to mv wife for the fourth time, and now could only grasp her hair. Again and again I called to her for one sign of life, but all to no purpose. Tlie gases and flames now drove me from her side, and as a last resort I buried myself in the debris. When hope had left me. men working from theoutsitlc suddenly and accideti .illy cams upon me. and drew haif of my body out. but there I became fast, our combined efforts proving unavailing to free me from the debris. Finally I succeeded in dropping through a hole made forme by mv rescuers. I was the only one who ever reached the light of day from under that heap of ruins.” WHAT TUK CORONER SAW. A Bakersfield dispatch says: ‘ The coroner who went to the scene of the railroad disaster on Saturday morning, reported to-day. He arrived on the ground at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. A large crowd was there, and they had already pretty thoroughly investigated the ash heaps which represented the train. The remains were disposed in seventeen heaps, each one of which was supposed to represent a human being. Some of them probably did. but most of them were bits of calcined bones that might have represented several. He thinks the destruction of human life greater that is supposed. The leader ot the two sleepers in the downward flight from which no one escaped is believed to have been pretty well filled, and it would have accommodated fifty-four persons. In it were placed the wav passengers, and many sucii always get on. Home coin and jewelry was turned over to the coroner’s keeping.” A COOL AND STEADY MAN. Forter Ashe was on the train wrecked at Teliechipi, and telegraphs as follows: “My wife, her maid and myself were occupying a drawing-room of the sleeper. We were awakened by the swaying of the cars, going at about the rate of seventy miles an hour. We had just braced ourselves when the crash came. The maid was buried in the debris, my wife and I falling on top of her. The car immediately took fire. I was forced to take the timber and burning boards off' the maid piece by piece. The car became enveloped in smoke, but by the breaking of the windows at the top of the car I succeeded in rescuing my wife and her maid. Pushing them through a window, we were climbing off* from tlie car. nearly suffocated by smoke, when I heard a man culling for help and beseeching us not to leave him. I reached down through at broken wiudow and succeeded in getting hold of Governor Downey's hand, and pulled him out, nearly strangled. While helping the maid to the ground, my wife stepped on a window and fell through into the car again. The car by this time was burning rapidly, and it i* impossible to tell liow I got her out. I jumped with her to the ground, and immediately ran down the hill to avoid the flames. Before leaving the car 1 pushed through a wiudow a sealskiu cloak dolman, lined with fur, two blankets, and one mattress. We had no other clothing except a night-sliirt. Tlie wind was blowing strong and intensely cold, aud we were surrounded by tlie dead and dying. Governor Downey. Mr. Cassel. my wife, her maid, Mr. Howard Tilton—who rendered us great assistance and acted splendidly—a child of Mr. Waterhouse, and myself occupied the mattress, and were only protected by a blanket till assistance came from Teliechipi. The railroad company did everything in their power to relieve tbe distress, and from the superintendent down to the brakemanacted with the utmost delicacy and courtesy. We were provided at Teliechipi with warm clothes and comfortably housed.” Story of the Young Conplo wlio Were Saved from the Wreck, Snn Francisco Chronic'.*, Jan. 15. Man proposes and mamma contrives, but the young lady often disposes of the matrimonial scheme in a manner at once summary and decisive. At least, such is frequently the case in this free country, where marriages of convenience are as rare as an embarrassed debutante, and where the light of the household reserves to herself the right to pick out the man she proposes obeying—when it suits her. Hero is a case in point: About six months ago. Mrs. Crocker, of Sacramento, accompanied by her daughter Amy, was traveling in Europe. As all Americans do, mother and daughter visited Gil tig’s agency, and there tlie acquaintance of Henry, brother of Charles, the manager of this useful concern, was made. Master Henry was smitten with Miss Amy, and made no efforts to conceal his suit. Mamma thought she had discovered what the French call “a good party,” and by maternal suasion and a show of filial obedence an engagement was made between Mr. Gillig and Miss Crocker. In the mild frenzy of an expiring bachelorhood Henry gave a party, in which his betrothal was announced. But Henry reckoned without her who was to be his young hostess, and almost coincident with the rose-tinted announcement of the engagement came the gloomy report that it had been broken. Why, oh. why! was the voung man’s cry. and uo plainer answer can V>e given than this: ABHE-OROCKER —In Martinez. Dee. 16, Dr the Rev. Dr. Abbeerotnbie, Richard Porter Ash**, second sou of the late Dr. Ashe, and Aiuy T. Crocker, daughter of the late Judge E. R. Crofiker, of Hacramemo. The intimation conveyed in this announcement would convince anyone who believed in a newspaper announcement that Miss Amy Crocker is now Mrs. Richard Porter Ashe, hut it does not explain why the announcement only appeared to-dav, when the ceremony took place on the 16th of December. 1882. and why the wedding took place in Martinez. Here it is v necessary to explain that the situations have been reversed. Mamma objected to young Ashe, while the daughter favored him—result as inevitable as baldness. The young people met. exchanged their vows and determined to do it. And they did. A swell wedding at home was not practicable, so a quiet wedding in the sheltered country seat of Contra Costa county was had. After it was all over the young bride went on home to Sacramento, and the very young groom came on down to Ban Francisco to resume the study of law books in Crittenden Thornton’s office. It wa9 intended to keep the matter very, very secret, but somehow it leaked out, and so the notice is published. Both, it has been said, are voting, the remaining parents of both are rich, and nothing remains for the two but to live together, and be as happy as the days are long in Greenland. THE POVFDER-AYOItKS EXPLOSION. The of Life Now Thought to Ho Thirty or Forty. San Francisco, Jan. 22. —The total loss by reason of the explosion will reach not less than SIOO,OOO. Tbe Giant Fowder-works sustain a damage of $60,000; the acid works of Judson A Cos., $40,000. It is impossible to learn the exact loss of life, but it is estimated to be between thirty and forty. The first explosion occurred übout 4 o’clock, in the packing-house, in which about 200 pounds of powder were stored. It is not known whetherany one was killed by the first explosion or not. As soon as tbe packing-house exploded, u number of Chinamen employed in other department fled for their -lives, and had

reached an open space, when the mixing house exploded, killing most of them in their tracks. It is thought that Ferlinank Kopf, superintendent, was killed bv this explosion. In about a minute one of the smaller houses exploded, followed at once by a fourth explosion, which doubtless kilied the surviving employes. A workman named August Fingofsky was very seriously injured. All other white men have been accounted for. and tbe dead are all Chinamen. Tnere are some thirty or forty houses on the point, occupied by employes at the powder and acid works, and most of the windows are shattered, and the doors and sides in many cases dashed in by the force of the concussion. After each explosion the woodwork of the building caught fire, and burned steadily for several hours. Efforts to prevent the flames reaching the main magazine, containing an immense quantity of powder, were happily successful. The consequence would have been most frightful hud the large magazine exploded, as one of the superintendents stated there is enough powder stored there to have destroyed every living thing on the peninsula. The cause of the first explosion remains a mystery. This evening twelve bodies have been counted lying in the debris, and the coroner's investigation to-morrow will probably disclose more than double that number. A force of men is engaged to-night in extinguishing the fire and recovering the dead. SCENE AT THE RUINS. The scene at the Giant-powder works this morning is one of devastation and death. In the semi-circular excavation where the packing houses are located the ground is covered with debris and timber; huge rocks thrown by the violence of the series of explosions are seen on all sides. Lying on the ground are the mangled bodies of twenty-one Chinamen. One Chinaman died last night in the temporary hospital. So far as known at noori, one white man and twenty-two Chinamen were killed. The white man killed is Ferdinand Kampf, assistant superintendent. He could have saved himself, but remained to try to save the works. When tlie first explosion occurred he ran to the nitro-glvcerine house to turn on water to extinguish the lire. He was killed by the explosion of the mtro-glycerine house. It is thought that eight or ten bodies are in the ruins. Oscar Porgaws, of Kentucky, is the only white man wounded, and be will probably recover. Thirteen Chinamen were wounded amt are lying in the quarters of tlie Chinese. The greater number of these will recover. The cause of the explosion stili remains a mystery. Whether the powder in every one of the packing-houses exploded cannot be told. They are all caved in and filled with debris. The magazines are uninjured, and danger of further explosions is deemed at an end. OTHER CASUALTIES Sufferings of the Patients of a Hunted Hospital. Brainkrd, Minn., Jan. 22.—The Northern Pacific Hospital and Old Colony Receptionhouse here burned this morning. There were thirty-six patients in the building, sixteen of whom were unable to help themselves. All were taken out safely. Two patients were in a dying condition. The weather was bitter cold—the thermometer forty degrees below zero—and tlie sufferings of the patieuts were terrible. The building was one mass of flames w ithin three minutes after the discovery of the lire, which caught in the kitchen, from a defective chimney. Six Men Lcwt from a Fishing Schooner During a Snow-Storm. Halifax, N. 8., Jan. 22.—The Gloucester fishing schooner James A.

THE FRENCH AND THE IRISH A Cabinet Crisis Said to Be Among the Possibilities at Paris. A Letter from the Pope Constituting the Clergy tlie Guardians of the People ol Lrelaud— Oilier Foreign News. THE UNEASY FRENCH. A Cabinet Crisis Expected—The Government and the Princes. Paris, .Tan. 22. —The weakness on the Bourse is due to large forced sales, owing to an apprehended ministerial crisis. The ex-Empress Eugenie has arrived. It is again rumored that the Senate w'ill be constituted a court for the trial of Prince Jerome. According to the latest intelligence, the government will adhere to its bills against the Royalists. The Right, the Radical Left and the Extreme Left are determined to oppose the passage of these measures, while the Republican Union favors compromise. It is believed the government is only disposed to accept an amendment depriving the Princes, who may be expelled of their rank and political rights. In the Senate, Waddington declared the republic was threatened by nobody, and had nothing to fear except the faults it might have committed. The Paris states that the Elysee quarter was patrolled last night, because it wa? teared a Legitimist manifesto would be posted. The Bonnpartist members of the Chamber of Deputies nave decided that three of their number resign their seats after the liberation or expulsion of Prince Jerome, in order to allow him to contest a seat. In the Deputies, to-day, Cuweo D. Ornano questioned the government in regard to the removal of Prince Napoleon’s manifesto, and charged the judicial authorities with violation of the press law of 1881. The Minister of Justice replied that the judge had acted in the free exercise of his discretion when he described Napoleon's act as a crime. The Chamber passed to the order of the day by a vote of 400 to 88. During the annual services for the respose of the soul of Louis XVI an unusually large body of police was posted outside of the chapel in readiness to suppress any demonstration. Plon Plon’s Pretense only u Joke—Efforts to Banish All the Monarchists. Paris Cable, to Now York Hun. The manifesto of Prince Napoleon bad as much weight with the people of Paris as a proclamation by Dictator Train would have with the citizens of New York. To the great mass of the people it was an amusing explosion on the part of a public character whom they will not consider seriously. With the political factions and with the government the effect was unfortunately different, and the result was that an undue importance was imparted to the Prince and to his act, which showed on tlie part of the established government a much lower degree of confidence in the stability of the Republic than is entertained by its friends abroad. Locked up in the Conciergerie, the Prince becomes almost an object of sympathy, if not of serious consideration, while the proposition to exile from France the members of the royal and imperial families is a lamentable confession of weakness and apprehension. There is a strong and by no means discouraging contrast between the temper in which the public at large has treated the matter, and the alarm and excitement it has created in the government Proscription is a poor remedy. The stability of the Republic lies in the disposition of the people, which, left to itself, is at present impregnable to the assaults of a royal or imperial pretender. The groat defect of the French government lies in its failure to act with the sense of the people, and in its fear that if it is not arbitrary and violent it will be thought weak and vacillating. Ever since the death of Gambeita botli houses have been running a race to see which could first effect its little political eruption. Prince Napoleon happened to take precedence, and he finds himself in jail, eating admirable breakfasts and dinners, according to the French papers, and living in daily expectation of being expelled from the country. If the representatives of both houses are expelled with him, as 6eems to be the present disposition of a large portion of the Chamber, a most arbitrary and unwise act will have been committed. Such acts only serve to propagate the evils they aim to extirpute, and the two families whose destiny it is to inflict themselves on France might safely have been left to the indifference of the people and the proceases of nature. AFFAIRS IN IRELAND. The Pope Constitutes the Clergy tlie Guardians of tlie People. Dublin, Jan. 22. —The Pope, in a letter to Cardinal McCabe, of which copies have been sent to all the Irish bishops, congratulates them on their zeal in calming the country and guiding the people. He regrets that the civil societies had not ceased to trust to deeds of crime, but seek remedies which tend to the destruction of the faithful. The people should be firmly persuaded that the national cause should be kept distinct from the deeds of these unhallowed associations. He suggests that leave to attend popular meetings should only be allowed those of the clergy in whose wisdom the bishops have especial confidence as able to guide an excited assembly and defend tbe most judicious courses. The clergy, thus constituted the guardians of public security aud the defenders of the common weal, will be of great utility to the country in iLs disturbed state. Although a wide belief exists that the authorities will now be able to bring the Phoenix Park assassins to justice, tlie real fact is that Farrell’s assertion, that the inner circle was so composed that its members were unknown to each other, and therefore not to be identified, is only too well founded. The London Times says: “It is evident that Saturday’s proceedings in Dublin have unveiled a conspiracy to murder executive officials, although the secrets of the prosecution have thus far been kept with praiseworthyjdiscretion. It is not believe dthe counsel for the crown has begun with the strongest part of the case, The inquiry will probably be protracted for several weeks.” GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

THE EGYPTIAN EXILES. Tlie Scene at the Degradation of Arab! and Hi* Comrades. Cairo Correspondence London Standard. The prisoners all showed themselves extremely nervous, especially Toulba, who visibly shivered with fear. None of their English friends were present to reassure them and to convince them that they were not being led out for the last time, which more than one of them seemed to apprehend. Arabi, Mahmoud Sami and Yacoub Sami were brought up in the first carriage, followed by Abdellal, Ali Fehini, Toulba, and Mahmoud Fehmy in the second. They were escorted by mounted police with drawn swords. In spiie of the extreme secrecy observed, the inhabitants were grouped along the road, and a considerable crowd had j gathered at the gates oi the Kasr-el-nik barracks. For the most part the onlookers preserved the silence habitual to an Egyptian crowd. Here andj there, however, there was a murmur, “God help thee.” In the 1 third (the innermost) court of the barracks, drawn up in columns on tbe right, were the [ new r gendarmerie; on the left were the regu- j lar infantry. Almost tlie whole of the ex- i isting armed force in Egypt, except the cav- * airy, may be said to have been present. A j few English officers, accompanied by Consul j Moore as the representative of Lord Du fibrin, I were grouped in the court. The galleries of the first floor barracks were filled with Brit- ■ ish officers, with a lew ladies. Immediately upon their arrival the prisoners were led i into the open space between the columns of troops, and a ring was formed round them, i the subordinate officers carrying naked swords. The Under Secretary of State for War then advanced, and after calling out the names of the prisoners, read aloud the khedivial decree that their rank ami decorations of every kind should be taken from them and their names erased in perpetuity from tbe Egyptian army iist. It was added that these decorations should be delivered immediately to the jKilice. Mahmoud Sami alone answered in acquiescence. The officers then led the troopers in the cry: “Long live our Khedive,” thrice repeated, after which the ring was broken. The prisoners were then led back to the carriages, at ! the steps of which an Egyptian major took j the opportunity of remarking to them that j they had ruined Egypt, and ought to have had their throats cut. Apart from this indi- j vidual instance no insult was offered io the prisoners, nor was any evidence of hostile feeling given. A 3:15 this last act of tlie Egyptian revolutionary drama closed with a march past, the troops playing the khedivial anthem. The prisoners appeared to feel the manner of the degradation more than the actual deprivation which they suffered. They protested, nevertheless, against the assumption by the Khedive of the power to divest them of decorations conferred by the Sultan. _ HORRIBLE CRUELTY. Two Human Monsters Shamefully Maltreat a Girl to Whom They Hud Promised the Comforts of a Home. Springfield Republic*!*, Saturday. Bolin Hickey and Mary Jane, his wife, of Appalachin, near Oswego, N. Y., were held in $1,500 bail at Oswego yesterday, for barbarous treatment of O.seeEverett, a girl nineteen years old, whom they “took to bring up” from poor parents living in Camptownj Pa., eight years ago. Hickey is well-to-do. and the parents thought they had securd a blessing for their child; but a few days ago the girl’s brothers learned of her cruel treatment and took her away from Hickey’s home by force. The girl is said to be a horrible sight. She only weighs sixtyseven and one-half pounds, fifteen pounds less than when eleven years old, and on her head are a score or more of long, deep gashes, which might easily have been made with clubs, potato-mashers and iron pokers, as she says they were. Her arm * legs and body are similarly disfigured, and her face is all warped out of resemblance to humanity. The clothes she wore when recovered stuck to her body, and her stockings had to be cut from her gashed feet and limbs. She accounts for every bruise and gash, and tells how long ugo Mrs. Hickey abused her in each case. She ' can neither count, spell nor read, and can scarcely talk intelligently. She says she was kept in a cold open shed in winter, and one night Mrs. Hickey threw cold water on her there and left her in the cold so that tlie water froze in her hair and froze her ears down to stumps. In short, her appearance, the testimony of neighbors and her own painfully simple statement combine to make the case more horrible than can properly be described in print. A civil suit for SIO,OOO damages has been brought against liickey as well as the criminal action. An indignant crowd filled the court-house to listen to the examination, and the Hickeys waived examination for fear they might bo mobbed. I)r. McCoali Not to Resign. New York Herald, Sunday. Relative to the report from Washington that Dr. McCosh, of Princeton College, was to be retired at his own request from the presidency of that institution, Mr. U. M. Alexander, of Alexander it Green, this city, who is one of the trustees of trio college, said yesterday: “That is a rumor which goes the rounds at irregular intervals, and has as little foundation at the present time as it has ever had. For the trustees, I can say that to a man they desire that I)r. McCosh shall remain at the head of the college, and I do not believe that the Doctor himself Ims any desire to resign, lie lias never expressed such a wish or intention to the board of trustees, and I am sure that they would be the first to be acquainted with it if he had such an idea.” Mr. Gladstone’* Health Improving.
