Bate with wrecks. Many lives have been lost, but the lists were not complete. The British metropolis rejoiced over the failure of the gas-stokers to plunge the city in darkness. ‘The gas companies had completely triumphed over the strikers, some of whom had been sen- enced to imprisonment and others remanded for trial, The recent French crisis was largely commented upon, its- result being generally considered a temporary advantage for the Right, while the cause of the moderate fepublicans was sure to gain upon the inevita- le dissolution of the Assembly. Bismarck’s victory over the Prussian Junkers was esteemed the sign of popular progress and an | {indication of stability for the new Empire which the Prince Chancellor is crystallizing out of the heretofore antagonistic elements of Fatherland. The Gladstone Cabinet was to meet on the 11th for the last time prior to the holiday recess. Irish University education reform was believed to be on the slate as its Jeading measure for the next Parliamentary session. Game laws and scarcity of food were discussed among the people. Blocked Up by Snow—Rapid Transit Wanted. It is disagreeable to think that the snow storms of a year to come may find New York as much in their power as the present storm finds us now. ‘Travel has been impeded everywhere in the city, and the difficulty of going from one end of the island to the other is something appalling to the ordinary mind. Three hours’ journey in a crowded horse car on a snowy day, with the thermometer twenty degrees below freezing point, is an experience once gained never forgotten. For the first fifteen minutes it may be jolly enough. Peo- ple incline to gayety on snowy days as per- sistently as they bend to moroseness on rainy days. The new arrivals in the horse car keep up the joviality. The insidious cold all this while is seeking out the very marrow of the traveller who entered the car at the Henatp office on his way to Harlem. The fun be- comes hateful. He stamps his feet, claps his hands, rubs his ears and almost resolves on getting out to walk the rest of the journey. He may be n man of some endurance and he comes through without mishap, although every joint in his spinal column is aching. This is explained by the fact that during heavy snows the horse cars have an uncontrollable liking for running off the track. If this man, while under the malign influences of his ride up town, thinks for a moment of the benefits an anderground or overground steam railroad would confer on New York his pangs will be almost unbearable from the contrast. The thought must have suggested itself to, nay, forced itself upon, thousands of citizens who rode up or down town in the horse cars within the past two days. It was, perhaps, more constantly present to those whom the snow and the all-but-disabled horse car lines pre- vented from leaving their homes at all. Rapid transit we want and should have. If the misery entailed by its absence is more visible in bad weather, its want in all weatbers is pressing. We have had scheme after scheme presented, only to fail when brought into the first steps towards being carried out. The Legislature has passed several bills authorizing the construction of lines, but they have not progressed further than the plans. We do not now propose to trouble ourselves about what mode would be the best; we believe that any plan, if only safe enough, over- | ground or underground, would pay. Let | something be done. Winter and the Streets. Every citizen will concede that the ice and snow left to accumulate in our thoroughfares are far more inconvenient than all the dust and mud of the warm season. Yet we have, year after year, seen the contractor utterly fait in Winter, for months at a time, to remove a load of the filthy compound. A thaw was alone to be relied on, and then the condition was horrible for a time Now, when the city does this business by its own agents it has a right to expect them to do what the contract system so uniformly failed to do—keep the streets clear from nasty accumulations during the cold season. Possibly it may require an unusual amount of labor and a heavy outlay of the city funds ; if so, we are sure no city disburse- ment will be more, generally and heartily sanctioned by the taxpayers than that used to make the streets passable. Both health and business will be promoted by this reform, which it is to be hoped the Street Cleaning Department will thoroughly carry out during the Winter. Besides the sanitary and com- mercial advantages the city will reap if this duty is thoroughly performed, its prose- cution may be made the means of vast good by affording employment and a livelihood to a large body of men willing to work, but not likely to And such labor as they are compe- tent for. The department has already begun with commendable promptness the work of carting away from Broadway the immense piles of snow encumbering it. This is right, and should be applied immediately to all the principal arteries of city travel. If this is done the public will not fail to award due | praise to the faithful officers who shall merit it.

British advices, dated in Calcutta, comment on the anticipated consequences of the Russo-Asiatic collision in the following terms :— We scarcely need trouble ourselves with what Russia may do even half acentury hence. Half a century may remodel the map of the world. All our great deeds in India have been done on the basis of never looking too far in ad- vance; of accepting the practicakfact and eschew- ing the fine theory which has not accorded with the fact, however ugly or clumsy the latter may have seemed. The practical fact here is that Rus- sia and England may do each other immense good or immense harm, and that both nations, when you get ut their real feelings, would prefer the jormer to the latter. The very latest report of our great survey of India contains several indications of this; in fact, the British surveyors and the sur- veyors of Russia in wild and uninhabited regions afford each other mutual help, and appear to meet in the utmost cordiality.

The frightful disaster of which I sent you partial details yesterday proves more terrible as its hor- rors are disclosed and rivals the saddest cases of the kind that have ever been recorded. As train No. 6—afternoon express going North— On the portion of the Busfalo, Corry and Pittsburg Railroad known as the Cross-Cut, veared Prospect station the rear truck of the tender was thrown from the track by the breaking of a wheel twenty- five roda before the train reached @ high and dan- gerous trestle. There was but one brakeman on the train and he was at his post, but owing to the high grade of the descent the train could not be stopped, and as it reached the trestle the weight o: the tenaer broke and swept off the ties, and the one baggage and one passenger car which made up the train were THROWN OFF TO THE LEFT ofthe trestle, completely overturned and in a mo- ment ignited and in flames. Two or three of the employ¢s who were unhurt and the inhabitants of the nearest houses rendered all the assistance in their power, and help was telegraphed for to Mayville and Brocton, both seven miles distant, In @ short time two trains were on the spot with physicians and help, and the work of rescue went forward as fast as possible. Twenty-one persons were taken alive from the wreck. One died at once, and only three of the others are ina dangerous condition. Only two persons, a3 far as kuown, escaped entirely wohurt, NINETREN BODIES have been taken from the remains of the train, most of them so fearfully burned as_to be unrecog- nizabie, and they are at present in Mayville await- ing inquiries. THE CONDUCTOR, FAY FLANDERS, alive, but dangerously injured He reports the train to have con- eC rane persons, exclusive of em- ployés. G.H, Hilton, of Rochester, who escaped with a dislocated arm, reports the passenger car to have been fuil and three or four standing. The car seated forty-eight. The number of persons on both cars ranges doubtfully between forty-six and fifty-six, and of this number forty are now ac- counted for. : THE NAMES OF THE SURVIVORS are as follows :— bene Hatin tic conductor, seriously wounded and rned. G. H. Hilton, Rochester, dislocated arm, bruised. Henry Miller, Titusville, severe bruises, M. H. Ticknor, Titusville, very seriougly wounded, Eliza Seely, ‘Titusville, wounded, Bartis, Titusville, bruised, W.. H. Lee, Corry, bruised head and shoulder. —— Dunham, Boston, bruised hip.

Husband not found, Levi Briggs, Angola. — Cowdry, Corry. —— Douglass, Canada, — Cook, Earl Bacon, Brocton, mail agent, unhurt. Augustus Reeks, Westfield, unhurt. Brakeman, unhurt. One boy of two years, safe, but no parents have been found. The child is of light complexion, A BROKEN WHEEL THE CAUSE. The engine and tender crossed the trestle in saféty, and remain on the track, Owing to the intense darkness of the evening 1 was unable to trace the cause of the disaster further than a@ broken wheel. At an early hour this morning [I was on the spot and found the first fragments, which were broken trom the ten- der Wheel on the spot where the fracture occurred. The accident was undoubtedly occasioned by the wheel coming in contact with the end of a sound rail which projected above the one next it, which Was much worn and worthless, THE TWO CARS UPSET and fell on their tops and the weight of the trucks above crushed them in and helplessly entangled the poor wretches underneath a mass of timbers, rods, and chains, which held down the flooring of the car and retarded all efforts for assistance. Even at this late hour there are spots under the two trucks of the passenger car still unexplored, and it is feared that SEVERAL BODIES ARE YET TO BE RECOVERED. inter- The trestle is thirty rods in length, and = at the place where the cars fell twenty feet in height, a few paces further on thirty-five feet in height, and is now so burned as to be unsafe. Such of the wounded as could be moved have just been taken to Mayville, where they will ‘receive every care. Of the dea ice are recognized as women, and it is probable hat SEVERAL MORE WOMEN WILL BE FOUND to have perished. The inaccuracy of the reports sent to Cleveland and Corry determined me to send no names of killed or Wounded tast night, when it was lmpossi- . ble to procure reliable facts, SWITZERLAND. — Diplomatic Rupture Between the Republic and the Holy See—Causes of the Civil Con- flict with the Vatican. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALS. Diplomatic relations between the Swiss govern- ment and the Vatican are broken off. The Papal Legation at Lucerne will probably be abolished, the Chargé d’Affaires and attachés hay- ing been recalled. IMMEDIATE CAUSES WHICH MAY LEAD TO IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCES. The contest which has been waged during some months past between the cantonal and republican governmental authority of Switzerland and the ecclesiastical Vatican commission claims of the Holy See has, as will be seen by our cable despatch, Teached a new and decisive point of diplomatic definition. The present existing sitwation may be described as follows:—After the occurrence of the recent affair at Geneva, in which neither the Papal Nuncio nor the Bishop of Friburg nor the curé, Bishop Mermillod, obtained any success, the Bishop of Bale, by dismissing motu proprio, two apti-iniallibilist priests, drew ee himself @ Quarrel with the cantons of Bale, Soleyre, Thurgau, Argau and Lucerne, which are in lis diocese. The delegates of the cantonal governments met in con- ference at Soleure and voted resolutions, with rea- sons assigned, which form a@ striking protest against the cas and the Council of the Vati- can, The de! Mine declared null and void the dogma of infallibility; denied the right of the Bishop to excommunicate a priest who does not recognize that doctrine without the consent of the local authorities; enjoined the prelate to rescind the excommunications he had pronounced, and summoned him to appear without delay before the conference to justify himself as to what he had done; finally, it demanded the immediate removal of the Vicar General, Pontifical Nunclo protested against those resolutions, and hence the more imm: @ eXcit- ing cause of these latest differences between the government in Berne and the Church in Rome, THE LOUISVILLE ROAD SMASH-UP, More Favorable Acceunt from the Seene of the Disaster—How the Accie dent Occurred.

Another of the North Carolina Outlaws Killed. ANDREW STRONG SHOT. Steve Lowery the Ouly Angel Lett. How William Wilson Saved His Own Life, Served the Oounty and Got $6,000 Reward. ——+ CHRISTMAS IN SCUFFLETOWN. WILMINGTON, N, C., Dec. 27, 1872. One by one the band of Robeson county out- laws,the fanious “Swamp Angels’’of Carolina, have dwindled down until there ts now but one left of the entire formidable gang. For some time past Andrew Strong and Stephen Lowery nave escaped the vengeance of the law and have reigned un- molested over ScuMetown; but at length the former has been killed, and Stephen Lowery is the ONLY ONE LEFT of the entire band. At Eureka, a small station on the Wilmtngton, Charlotte and Rutheriord Railroad, in the heart of the Scuftietown region, and about eighty miles from this city, there: was a considerable Christmas gathering of the clans of the outlaws on Thursday. Steve Lowery was absent, but ANDREW A. STRONG WAS‘THERR, with a number of his friends, At about two o'clock in the day, whtle @ number of negroes were ina store at the station, one of them stole a number of locks and secreted them in his pocket. He was charged with the theft by a young man named Wil- liam Wilson, a clerk in. the store, but he denied having taken them. Mr, Wilson then put his hand in the man's coat pocket and drew forth the locks, The crowd soon afterwards left the store, About an hour after this, Andrew Strong, who had evi- dently been drinking, came into the store and ORDERED MR, WILSON TO LEAVE THE COUNTY, swearing that if he did not he would kill him. Tho young man informed him that he would do so, whereupon Strong left the store, About five o'clock he returned, more intoxicated than before, and repeated his commands, telling Mr. Wilson that if he found him there at six the next morning he would certainly kill him, After saying this the outlaw turned to leave the store, and as he did 60 Wilson raised a double-barrelled gun that was at hand and discharged one barrel at the outlaw, PLANTING EIGHTEEN BUCKSHOT IN HIS NECK AND HEAD. Strong fell with scarcely a groan and expired at once. The fall of the outlaw at once spread con- sternation and dismay throughout the group of his dusky followers, but no attempt was made to tn- terfere with Mr, Wilson, Had Stephen Lowery been there it might have been different, but he was absent, and no attempt was made to rescue the body. Rhody Lowery, the widow of Henry Berry Lowery, the defunct outlaw leader, and sister of Andrew Strong, sent in @ depu- tatign requesting that the body be de- livered up to her, but this was of course refused. Word was sent to them at the same time by Mr. Wilson that he would shoot the first man who dared to touch the body, Nevertheless, fear- ing a rescue might be attempted, Mr. Wilson and a number of other gentlemen hastily placed the body in a wagon and conveyed it to Lumbertown, arriving there at two A.M. The body was at once -surrendered to Sheriff McMillan and wag yesterday FULLY IDENTIFIED, The Sheriffat once paid over to the fortuvate young man $1,000, the reward offered by the county for each of the outlaws, dead or alive. Besides this, there 1s a sum of $5,000 to be paid by the State, the reward offered by the government, under authority of the Legislature, which can be obtained on application. Mr. Wilson is quite a young man, but one of much nerve and determination. He is from the western part of the State and has been clerking at Eureka for some time past. The rewards which he obtains for the killing of the outlaw will amount to quite asmall fortune, It was a brave act and the people rejoice to see it so well rewarded. THE WEEKLY HERALD.
