A JEWISTt CONFERENCE, Dispateh 10 Lontton Times. PARS, Dee, 13.— At sesterdsy’s meeting of the Israelite Conference, the mode of addressing $'10 n @ norfal in favor of the Jewa in the Eatt was discussed. Baron Ienry de Worms was of opinion that It was not compatible with diplo- matie proceedings to send an address direct to the Conference.” Ile proposed that the several Governmenta should "be addressed, and that thesa shonld be solicited to give instructions to thelr Plenipotentiarics in Constantinople to pro- tect therights of the Jewg in the East with the eamo care and cfficiency ds those of the Chrls- tinns. M. Binger, of Viehna, proposed tosend the memorial to the Confereice,” and that the Govd ernments of the severnl countries from which delegates had come to this Conference should be requested to fnstruct the Iienipotentiaries in Constantinople to take nota of the memorlal placed before them. M. Binger further pro- pored to address a special memorialto the Porte acknowledging fts avowed object to place the Jews on & perfect lcvel of right with thelr other fellow-subjects, The Presldént (M, Cremienx was In of the proposal to sen an address to the Conference at Con- llnnl(natfle, and, upon submitting it to the vote of the mcetln y It was earried. The mo- tion that the scveral delegates here assembled should apoly to their Governments to recelve favorably the memorial was likewlso carriad, The dlscussion of further detalls as to the man- ner of addressing the memorial was continued to-day, but nothing of Interest occurred. A committee was n};gohvtcd to frame the memo- rial, consisting of MM. Cremicnx, Derembourg, and M. Leven, of Paris; Christelles, of Berlin; Astrue, of Brussels; Landesberg, of Liegnitz; Sluger, of Vienna; Veneziani, of Paduaj and Baron II. de Worms and M. Loewy, of Lundon, 1 may mentlon that this meetingz is a remark- able event, as laving brought Jews from so many different parts of the civillzed world to- pether. I estimated the number prescnt at 100 or £0, about thirty of whom are delegatcs repre- senting Auetrian, Belelan, English, German, Malian, and Amerlean Jewls), fustituftons, The speeches were In French and German, One of the speakers described the conditionof the Jews 08 more favorable under the Turls than under the Christians in the East; but the meetiog did not. nprcnr at all fnclined to support the conclu- slon that might have been drawn from the vou- B = .trast. GREAT BRITAIN. THE GRAIN TRADK, Spectal Dispaich to The Tribune. Loxpoy, Jan, 1.—~The JMark Lane Express says: **Grain at country markets has been gen- erally poor, but the decline of o shilling per quarter on wheat Inat week has been recovered. With unusual activity in trade, in Liverpool es- pecially, great aufmatlon prevailed, The gen- eral tone of the market ruled strong, in conse- quence of deereased fmports snd a depletion of granury stock., The same influences hayve strengthened the London trade, The slight tendency towords lower prices durlng tho rceent temporary lull has been more than recovered, and n lealthler feeling pervades the trado than at any tine dur- {ug the year. The imports into London during the week bave heen limited, while the exports show an {nercasing Continental demand. India continues to furnish the bulk of the weekl: mpp}{ of forelgn wheat into London, Amerd- ean wheat 1s now running very short, and hold- ers have realized au advance of o shil- ling to two_ shilliogs per quarter on the week. Russfan improved s shilling, with a steady milling demnand aud specunlative inquiry for both. The trade presents broader features, millers sceming to derive confidence frowm the diminution of stocks, the small ship- ments from America, and the knowledge that political events may occur to enhance the valug of wheat. With limited arrivals at the ports ol zally the floating cargo trade has shown consld- srable Grmness. At the end of lust week thero was a very large busluess in California floating sargoces, hut the demands have slackened within the pu‘ few days.

CLRVELARD, 0., Jan, 1.—The workmen at Ashtabula labored all day, mainly fn cutting up and dragging out the wreck of the bridue, only n few working at the debris of the cars. No ad- ditfonal bodles were found, but a large basket- {ful of fect, bands, arme, boots, and other frag- ments of fiesh and clothing were fished out, but uothing that any onc could Identify. TNZ DRIDOE was crossed by a double track, The wrecked train wns coming overon the left hand or south- ern track. Tha% slde of the bridge zave way first, and the traln in felllng was thrown somo thirtg feet to the left of a direct line hetween the abutments, The bridge fell directly down- ward, and crushed through the ice to the bot- tom of the river. It would therefore forma dom which would stop the bodies washed down- stream under the ico ON NORROR'S HEAD. It s o current theory at Asbtabula, where publlc fecling is fintensely bitter against the managers of the road, that they are anxious to remove thebrldge, first so as to permit any human rcmains now lodged agalnst {tto be washed away, aud thus obliterate the cvidence upon which claims can be based for damages by the friends of the lost. ANOTHER FACT that is strongly commeuted upon fs that, im- mediately after tho accident, a train-dispatcher in this city telegraphed not to permit water to be thrown on the burning cars. The dispatcher admits sending tho dispateh, but says that it was through fear that the wounded might be drowned by a too liberal use uf water, Near the weat pler stands an engine-liouse, with steam-pumps for forcing the water into the tank on the hill. It bhad plenty of lose that could have been {instantly attached, and a powerful stream of water thrown upon the burning wreck In this way. It is claimed that mostof the wounded who were burned to death might have been saved, aud the friends of the lost, maddened by thelr fafl- ure to find anything but the ashes of thelr fricnds, charge that it was THE DELIUEZRATE PURPOBX of the Company to let the firc do fts work ne completely as possible. Untll the Coroner's Jury now in scssfon has rigidly examined all the facts, judgment on these points may fairly be suspended, In all, cleven Lodies have been brought to Cleveland and prepared by the undertakers for burlal. Thelr names bave been already given fu the press reports. DR. WASHDURY, The report that the body of Dr. Washburn, vector of (irace Church of Cleveland, had been found was premature. A leg was found with a Loot, supposed to be his. The lex was clothed with two poirs of drawers, and pleces of this clothlng were brought here sud shown to Mre. Washburn, who fmmediately pro- nounced them not thoso of her husband, It is not now expected that any trace of the dead clergyman will ever be found, JRIENDS OF THE LOST are pouring into Ashtabula from all quarters, and thelr exceitement and suspense add & mnew element of tragic Intcreat to that Jong-drawn-out chapter of horror, Btrong men, frall, trembling women, and even children,have flocked to the srene from east and west, and stand about weepl g, moaning, and in some cases faintlng with b ror as they look down Into the abyss Into which the train with thelr friends on board plunged on that fuarful night. TIE WORKMEN, 7o the TFestern Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Jan. 1.—Tha followlng Ierald special gives the facts of what has occurred ot Ashtabula to-day: Tho search for bodles was resumed at sunriso this morning, Tho wreek. men tried a new plan by removing the ice south of the mass of Ironwork of the bridge, which formed a sort of dam on the river, but, on look~ ing lnto the clear water, they could discover no buman remalns capable of identificatfon, Some pleces of bouc and flesth were recovered, but one could scarcely tell what part of tho body thoy belonged to. Two persons nmong those in THE FREIGOT HOUSE, all that were {dentided to-day, are Mra, E, Clark, of Welllugton, O., and Miss Kittlew(ll, of Wis- consin, The remalus that are unclumed are now in cofllns fugnished by the Railroad Cow- pany, and will be buried hero unless recognized, TIE CORONER'S INQUEST was resumed at 9 o'clock this moruing, and the Hon. L. 8. Sherman appearcd aa counsel for the Rallroad Company. James A, Manning, the first witness esamined, test!fled that he was near the spot when the traln went down. He heard a crush, aud ran to render assistance, The next wituess was B CAPT, CHARLES . TYLER, of 8t, Louls, o commission mercuant, He bad his faco terribly brulsed and right hand in- jured. He was in appearauce and in his an- swers exceedingly Intelligent. While the traln was at Buffalo hie examined the enaches and was sastified that fully 200 persous, seventy moro than the conductor stated on the day previous, were onthetralo. Tyler sald ho hiad been captain of stesmboats on the Missiisippl River for twenty-four years, and was competent to judge of the number on board from experfence. He had aléo traveled s great deal. There were nincteen passengers fu bhis cur, named the Palatioe. Scveral card- partics were formed. Just before the accident occurred tho traln was going at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, when the bell-rope soapped, breaking and estiogulshing three of the lamps. Ten secotids later he felt the coach golug juto the river. The car was cuveloped In utter darkuness. THE ANGUISH OF THE MOMENT wss horrible in the extreme. The abyes wai pasicd, the suspenso was over, and the terrible crash @t the bottom came. Acroas the rear part of the Palatine fell the City of Buffulo, crusbing two men~-all in the Palatine who were kiled. The witness thought every person fn the Buffulo was destroyed, ss, fo climbing over that car to s place of safely, he was unable te discover suy sigus of life within, The others fell together, aud scores of persons lay In the wreck, giviog vent to the most frightful groans, which scemed as if tl.ey could be beand for inites. “fne firs broke out In three places nlmost simultancously, If water had been put on the flanes RVEN A8 LATR A8 O O'CLOCK, some persuns that trero burned might have been saved, He did not koow whether or not any order was recelved from the raflroad an- thorities not to put water on the burning wreck. FOSTER F. SWITT, a hatel proprietor of North Adams, Mass,, was also on the Palatine, and corruhorates the state- ment of Capt. Tyler. HEPRURN. . A, Knapp, Chlef Enginecr of the Fire Department, has preeented n aworn statement that Mayor I P. Hepburn, of Ashtabula, o leading civil engincer In the employment of the Lake Shore Raliroad, did not order him mot to throw water on the burning debrla. Many uninformed persons had wrong- fully blamed Hepburn fu the matter. Hepburn har done all that & man conld dv for the suffer- ers since tho accldent, and deserves condial thanks, Some persous express an opinlon that no more bodies in a recognizable conditlon will be recovered, TIE REW DRIDGE. The workmen are employed In erecting a der- rlck for the putting in of the new bridge that was designed for the Wilson avenue crossing in Cleveland, and this laborwill beaccomplishicdan soon as practicable.

The truin over the Loke Shore & Michigan Bouthern which should huve arrived here yes- terday morning did not get in until about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, owing to the detention by tho snow-storm of the train over tho New York Central. On board were two gentlemen who had been ou the wrecked tratn, but who had escaped with only slight injurics, and Mr. Juhn V, Farwell, of this clty, returning from ’l:(l)! frutless acarch after theremains of P, P, ias. Mr, L. B. Bturges; of Minneapolis, Minn., left New York last Thursday on the ll-fated train, expecting to reach home Sunday morning, In- stead of that, he id not arrlve here until yes- terday afternoon, minus his baggaye, but uniu. jured with the exception of a few scrutches, A ‘TriBUNE reporter saw him on thetrain for a few minutes, and learned what be had to say about the accident, “It seemed,” sald Mr. Bturges, “as if we never would stop falllng wheu we went down. It was a very long distance, and yet when we stopped falling I dian't realize that tho accident ‘was soything like what it really was. I tried to get out as soon as I recovered from the shock, and begun to reallze what sort of a posi- tion we were ln. A man who had been playlog cards called out to me, and sald his leg was broken. It was Mr, Sheppard, and his foot was jammed under & carseat. Uslog my eutire strength I got him loose, but the effort to free him tore bis foot off. I also got two uthers out—a Mr. Thompson, whose leg was broken, and another man whose name I don't know, He was blind with blood, aud I bad a ggeat deal of trouble {in getting him out. He was rather @ heavy-set man, and had what I considered sowmething of a clerical look about bit, but I won't be 0 surcasto that. Iwas trywg to get out,sud 1 called out to bim, ‘Come bere, or you will be burned up.’ He acted as If be was blind, and said, *Where are youi' [replied, ‘Can’t you seci’ and be sald, 1 can’t acc here’ Finally, I got hold of him, and got scnse enough Into his bead to get him to go through the window. 1 should judge that it wasn’t nore than two seconds, although it seemwd an aze then, from the tine the bellcord broke untli we went over the bridge. The car waa off the track shout half its length. 1 have no fden Just how the whole thing happenced, but 1t looked as € the bridge went dutn bodily,—as though the welght In the centre had spring it rght down, WHAT SAVED OUR CAR wns the fact that it was nearly the last one on the traln. It Jamnied right Into the wreek of the othier cars” ami rolled over once, and as it rolled over It rolled out of the way. Those cars that eame after was rolled the other way, Ours rolled one aldc £o a4 to leave it compara- tively free. It was sinpanhed vcr‘{ Tittle, and i£ it hadn’t been forthe fire it would not have been damaged a great deal. Most of the people who were hinrt In our car were hurt by belng thrown against the reats, bHut nobody suffecred any serlous injury beyond what 1 have stated. Miss “Rliepard, * the young lady who exhibited so much herolsm and such a conl and collected bearing was in our. car think it was she who was on thenutside, tryine to hreak in the windows with a stlck or an umbrella, while I was trylng to pot those men out. There were three or four ladica In the car, and while 1 was getting the men ont some other men got the ladles out of the car. 8uch _a scene of hurror 18 we wit- nersed that night T never want to see again, It is n wonder to me that the fire-engine was not used, [ undestood that some one_tried to ueo it hut was kept from doing so, but T don't know how that la, I'm sure.

A. MAILLATRD. A BRIEP ACCOUNT, Mr. A. Malllard, of 8an Rafell, Cal., seemed 1o be pretty well bunged up sbout the head, Nips, and Lack, but had recelved no permauent or serfous Injurlee. He seemed more dazed thau otherwise, and complained o good deal of atiffucss and o generatly uncomfortable feeling about the head, legs, and back. His story, therefore, was taken under some diflicultics, and is somewhat meagre. e atates that e was on ouc of the rear cars—he fs mot sure Just which onc, but it probubly was the Palatine,—and that just previous to the accldent he had been plaging ‘nrds with Mr. Sheppard, of New York, and two other gentlemen whose names he did not Iearn, “The first [dea he bad of danger was when the crash came, bt he knows nothing beyond that unttl Le found himself Iying {n the alsle by the elde of Mr. Sheppard, “The lutter sgld his leg tvas Drokem, und usked Mr, Mallord to nssist him, which hie and others in the car did. - There were 110 lghts In the car, but they munaged to* extemporize something that dnswered for vandages, with whieli they bandaged Mr. Sheppard’s leg. Mr. Mailland 1a 1\1“0 cer- tnii of one thing, that he got out through a window. Around hiin, on one side of the car, were the steep banks, on the other slde the creck and the snow, and, 08 it seemed, right ahead of them lay the wreek, which was now heginning to tuke fire. He and another man ot Mr. Shepperd out through the window as speedily as possible, and then tool hold of him and dragged hin, lylmim- his back, through the suow, around the wreek and up the Lill, whern they eame to the buller-houee, and four men took Mr. Eheppard fn. Mr, Mulllard further remembers that when he got up to the engioe- house he was very much exhausted and fainted twie, Nothing further happened to him, and be camne ov to Chiengo s soun s possible, He will leave this morning for Califoruta, J. V. FARWELL, USAVAILING SEARCIL FOR BLIRS. Mr, John V. Farwell, who started Saturday eventug, [n company with Maj. Whittle, to look after Mr. P. I, Bliss and wife, returned yester- day, but bad little news to communicate. He liad visited the scenc of the wreck, and guzed upcn the terrible valley of death. Bpeaking of the fire, Mr. Farwell stated that the stone walls of the ubutments to the bridge were split and cracked Just ltke the walls of buildings in Chi- cago Just after the big fire, all golngz to show how terrible was the heat which they codured, 8o terrible wus it that no human bodics could be expected to withstund its violence. The englue which went down the horrible plt now liea hot- tom-side up, and when Mr. Farwell left the rail- road employes were engaged fu clearlug away the debris and’in getting out what baggage and ex- press matter they could. A great part of the express snatter, sald Mr, Farwel, consisted of insurance blanks, sent on from the home offices of tho varfous Eastern companles fur the pur- nose of supplylng thelr Western ugencies. IN REUARD TO MAJ, WHITTLE, Mr, Farwell suld that Le was determined tostay untit all the bodies were recovered, os it was mwong the barest of possibilities that there might bo some sort of @ clew to the identificatiun of Mr. aud Mrs, Bllss. Mr, Far- well, however, dId not think there was the least ’willb‘”l)‘ of ever identifylng thelr bodies, the fre being so hut as to burn up every vestige of huiun resemblanee. CIIICAGO.

Bwan, of No. % Wall street, reported in yesterdas's Jerald, was the subject of much comment yesterday amony; the large and respectable circle of bankers anid brakers who had businers or private assoclations with him. Many who bad known Swan asa light of the church, a leader of m:ictg, and one of thore men who try to shine by thelr moral and clerated conduct’ o life were astonished that such a truly good man could be gullty of such flagrant wrong as making away with from £200,000 to §300,000 of his relatives’ money and fl.ml) from the funds of his Club, the Unlon ague. Many of his friends continued even to nssert yesterday that Swan's transactions were simply a faily matter, all the funds which were mis- appropriated by him having belonzed to the fumnlly estate. This, however, was iu dircct con- flict with the statement made vesterday morn- iniz by Mr. John A, Week, the Chairman of the Trueiees of the Unlun League Club's Building Fund, that Swan had undoubtedly embezzie nabout 5,000 from this fund. The Club’s bulld- fug fund (for whose Trustees bie acted as Secre- tary ond Treasurcr) was Invested In United States bonds, which were registered In_the namee of the five Trustees, Otis 1. Swan, John A.Weeke, Jumes A, Roosevelt, Willlam H. Foga, ranklin L. Delano. and Henee (t wan {m- nossible for Swan to convert the bonds to his own use. Belng Treasurer, however, he could collect all the interest slnce Jast Jauuary on the bonds, which were deposited with the United States Trust Company, aud this was what the worthy Swan did. Heuce [t will be obscrved that if Swan did not rob the Club, of which he wan one of the most csteemed foundcers, of more than a petty $5,000 It was not Swan's ault. Dilizent inquiry yesterday falled to ascertain the exact amount of Swan's defaleation of his father's estate, His sister, Mrs, C.
