The Herap correspondent at Harwich tel- egraphs the following statement of the | Deutschland calamity, obtained in an inter- | view with the captain:— A STORM AND A MISTAKEN LIGHT. We left Bremerhaven on Sunday morning, in a heavy northeast snow storm. The wind wos blowing very hard. On Monday morn- fing, for all the time before daylight, we threw the lead every half hour, Our last cast showed seventeen fathoms of water. We sighted a light which we thought was the North Hinder Lightship. Our reckoning ‘agreed with that supposition and gave us the position we should have been in if our «pinion in regard to the light had been cor- rect. {This error was, as will be seen, the cause of the disaster. The light seen was the Gal- loper light, and the North Hinder light, off the Belgian coast, was far béhind. There ‘was an error of thirty minutes in the reck- oning. The course that would be proper from the North’ Hinder light necessarily drove on the sands when taken from the other light.—Ep, Herat. ] THE SHIP STRIKES. Toward four A. M. we slackened speed.

THE BOATS. Orders were now given that all the boats | Bhould be swung out and made ready to Maunch; but it would have been worse than useless to lower them, as ‘impossible they could live with the sea so high. They could do no good then, and to Baunch them would be to throw away the whance that they might be of service later. Boat No. 1 was, however, lowered contrary i #o orders, and swamped, with six persons in | it. Boat No. 3, with the boatswain, was Howered at the same time, but many persons | jn it were washed sway by the tremendous j | | Several vessels passed near us | it was Bea. FUTILE &FYORTS.

LOOKING DEATH IN THB FACE. All the passengers were provided with life preservers, and they all behaved with great Bourage and fortitude. PUMPS USELESS, By night on Monday all efforts with the pumps were abandoned, as the water had put out the fire and the sca was breaking pver the ship. It blew very hard and was Rerribly cold all night. ALL HANDS IN THE RIGGING. At two A. M. (Tuesday) all the passengers were ordered into the rigging. The upper deck was then two feet under water. Many of those who were thus saved for the time by the retreat to the rigging subsequently fell into the sea because, benumbed by the cold, they were unable to hold on, Others perished Decnnap Sie ich An gmaatinn $0. a>! | Liverpool, of Harwich, and aid them in their | only a collier which was lost,” and that, | eight o'clock this morning, “NEW YORK. ging beat them out with irresistible force and carried them away. HOW SOME WERE SAVED. Many passengers took refuge in the wheel- house and on the bridge; and those were saved next day, With the ebb tide the water fell and the passengers who were still | in the rigging were able to come down, and | were all saved by the tugboat which came to us at half-past ten on Tuesday. THE MAIL AND THE PURSER, One whole mail had been got into the | cabin by the purser and was thereby saved. The purser himself afterwards sought safety in the rigging, from which, however, ‘he fell and was drowned. ‘The ship's back is probably broken. A CORPSE WASHED ASHORE. The Henaup correspondent at Margate re- | ports as follows:—The corpse of Adolf! Foerster, who lost bis life in the wreck of the | Deutschland, was washed ashore this morn- ing. CARE FOR THE SURVIVORS. Consul Williams, at Harwich, has received instructions from Bremen, in which he is re- quested to be unsparing of, expense in at- tending to and providing for the wants and comfort of the survivors of the disaster. THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Fifteen women and six children have been | saved. CHARLES DIETRICHS’ STATEMENT. The Heratp correspondent has had an in- | terview with Charles Dietrichs, one of the | first cabin passengers. He adds nothing of material import to what has been already cabled to New York, with the exception that he says that much of the cargo was thrown overboard, A ROMANTIC INCIDENT, COURAGE AND ENDUR- | ANCE. Adolf Hermann, of the second cabin, re- | lates the occurrence of a romantic incident.

Many of the persons who have been res- ened are severely frost-bitten, ‘and many of the cases will terminate fatally. THE FIRST SIGNALS OF DANGER, The Heratp special correspondent at Har- wich telegraphs as follows:—The first signals of distress which were sent up from the | Deutschland were seen by the men of the English coast guard service at six o'clock on Monday morning. The sea was rough, and Harwich is the only place on the line of that | s icd the wreck was collected this morning by a correspondent of the Henaxp, who furnished acopy to Consul Williams, who cabled it to New York for the use of the agents. THE LATEST ACCOUNT OF THE OCCURRENCE THE DISASTER. The following additional particulars of the disaster are gleaned from the statement of a oF survivor :— The lead was cast every half hour; we found twenty-four fathoms of water, then seventeen, and immediately after struck. ; The engines were turned at full speed astern, when we instantly lost our propeller. We were then driven further up the bank. Two boats were launched ; containing eight swamped ; the other, with August and two others, drifted off. The remaining boats were because of the high sea, but were held ready. All, however, were stove during Monday. The cargo in the forehold was thrown overboard to ease and get the steamer off, but in vain, The pumps were worked all day and rockets were fired. The passengers remained in the deck- houses until they were driven into the rigging by the sea. one, persons, not launched, TWELVE CORPSES BECOVERED—FOUR OF THEM | THE BODIES OF NUNS, . Twelve corpses, including those of four nuns, have been brought ashore at Harwich. It is thought that few if any bodies remain on the wreck. THE NUMBER OF THE SURVIVORS, The survivors who have been landed at Harwich, it is thought, will number 146. PASSENGERS AND OREW.

AT THE COMPANY'S OFFICE, The excitement among the German elemegt of the city and vicinity remained unabated yesterdity in ref. erence to the loss of the steamship Deutschland. A large number of inquiring relatives and friends of those on board thronged the office of the agents of the line, in Bowling Green, from early morning until late In the afternoon. Cable telegrams wore transmitted in three or four (nstances asking if certain persons were booked a8 passengers, and in nearly every case the response wae in the negat which was joyfal news ‘hose in waiting One of saddest among the callers of the day was Mr, Fuendiing, of No, 156 Front street, this city, Mis wife and infant son ong the passengers of ts rf than those already ri itrred to from Bremen du ing the day, but they were far from complete as to the full list of those saved and lost.

Dedication of the Great Chur h of the Holy Cross. armentenfimddinnting CONCOURSE OP ECCLESIASTIO. DIGNITARIES, —____ Description of theConsecrated Temple of God. p+ — Balls aS A RIVAL OF OLD WORLD STRUCTURE Pontifical High Mass Celebrated with Grand Solemnity, Boston, Dec. 8, 1875, Following close upon two otber great religious cere. monies, the conferring of the pallium upon the arch. vishop and the consecration of the Church df the Im- maculate Conception, the Catholics of the arch. diocese and the city of Boston have been called upon to participate in a third ceremony of equal grandeur, the dedication of the new Cathedral of the Holy Cross, which occurred to-day. The ceremonies were of a character in keeping with the magnificence of the new place of worship and the labor which has brought it to its presont condition, They were performed and witnessed by a very large number of the Catholic clergy and laity of the archdiocese, all the bishops of New England and many of the priests, Following the ceremony of dedication was the PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS, which was celebrated by the Archbishop of the diocese. The discourse was delivered by the Right Rev. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston. The church and sanc- tuary choirs, with the new and powertul organ, ren- dered the music of the mass in a most excellent manner. THR EDIFICE, In approaching the cathedral front from the north or the south the prominent position which it occupies is noticeable, The entire building measures over 46,000 square feet and covers more than an acre of ground. In this respect, therefore, it will take precedente of some celebrated European cathedrals—for instance those of Strasbourg, Pisa, Sulisbury, Vienna, Venice, and St Patrick’s, in Dublin. The style is early English gothic, cruciform, with transepts, nave, aisle and clerestory, the ast named supported by two rows of clustered metallic pillars, beautifully bronzed and polished and elegantly ornamented. The length of the church, including the chapel of the holy sacrament on the northeast corner, is 364 feet; the length of nave, exclusive of the chapel, is 300 feet; width at the transepts, 170 feet; width of nave and aisles, or of the main body of the church, 90 feet; height to the wooden ceiling, 99 feet; height to the ridge pole, 120 feet. There are two main towers in front and a turret, all of unequal height, and all in time to be surmounted by spires. The great tower on the southwest corner, with its spire, will be 300 feet in height, and the smal! tower on the northwest corner will bo 200 feet, An idea of the spaciousness of the floor area, may be given by saying that the pews ac- commodate from 3,000 to 3,500 persons, and when the standing room is also ocupied double that number May find place on this single floor, The vestibule ts marble tiled. The seats, on a raised wooden floor, are of carved black walnut The | arch which separates the front vestibule from the church $s built of brioks taken from Mount Benedict, The doorways to the cathedral are five in number and very large. Three are in front and one in each tran- sept, so that the cathedral, largo as it is, can be emptied ina very few minutea. Under the chancel isa | chapel for the children, about 125 feet square, which will easily seat from 1,000 to 2,000 children. Here ts placed the altar of the old cathedral in Franklip street. THE ATTENDANOR at the ceremonies this morning was very great, but everything was condypted in perfect order. 4 considerable portion of the church was reserved for pewhbolders and those persons who were present by invitation, and sion to that portion was by tickek The less advantageous seats, however, in the rear of the edifice, were open to the public and were filled at an early hour, 1t was a matter of sincere regret to many per- sons that His Eminence the Cardinal was unable to be present at the ceremonies’ The important part which he took in the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of ‘the cathedral and conferring the pallium on the Arcb- bisbop would have made his presence peculiarly appro- priate. Up to within a few days {t was expected conf dently that he would attend and preach the sermon this morning, but all who so hoped were doomed to disappointment, The attendance, however, of digni- | taries of less eminence was large. Among those present, in addition to the officers of the mass, were the Right Rey. Bishop De Goesbriand, of. Burlington; the Right Rev. Bisbop Lynch, of Charleston; the Right Rey. Bishop Hendricken, of Provi- dence; the Right Rev, Bishop O'Reilly, of Springfield; the Right Rev. Bishop Healy, of Portland; the Very Rev. Father Hughes, V. G., Administrator of the Diocese of Hartford, and many priests. ‘THE CKREMONY OF DEDICATION, At ten o'clock the cermony of dedication began. The officiating prelates and attendant clergy formed a pro- cession and moved from the sanctuary to the exterior of the church, the Asperges and Miserere being chanted. After walking around the edifice they returned, chant- ing the Litany of the Samts. Tho psaim, “Benedio Domine,” was sung before and after the procession. Then followed the chants, “A Domine Cum Tribulare Clamavi,”’ ‘‘Lavave Oculos Meos” et “Loetatus Sum." | After this ceremony all returned to the vestry to robe for th ‘The clergy baving robed appropriately in the vestry tho grand procession of prelates, priests and acolytes entered, and the celebration of the solemn pontifical | mass was proceeded with, THR OFFICIATING CLERGY were as follows :—Celebrant, the Most Rey, Archbishop Williams; Assistant Priest, Very Rev. P. F, Lyndon, Vicar General; Deacons of Honor, Rev. W. A. Blenkin- sop and Rev, T, A. Shahan; Deacon of the Mass, Rev. ‘W. J. Daly; Subdeacon, Rev. W. J. Denvir; Mitre Bearer, Rev. W. P. McQuaid; Crozier Bearer, Rev J. KE. Millerick; Missal Bearer, Bearer, Rev. L. J. O'Toole; Bearer of the Archbishop's Cross, Rev. B. O. Rogan; Bearer of the Processional Cross, Rev. W. J. Corcoran; First Cantor, Rev. Thomas Power; Second Cantor, Rev, J.N. Supple; First Mas- ter of Ceremonies, Rev. T. A. Metcalf; Second Master of Ceremonies, Rey. H. R. O'Donnell. THE MUBIO differed somewhat from that which was rendered at the other great religious ceremonies which occurred re- cently, There was no orchestra, the organ being deemed sufficien. The cathedral sanctuary choir, which showed excellent training, was stationed at the sanctuary and sang the Introit Gradual, tract, offer- tory, communion and the responses, THE SERMON, After the first Gospel tho Right Rev. Bishop Lynch ascended the pulpit and delivered the sermon of the day. It was in some sense @ recital of the reasons which tho Church gives for her grand ceremonies of rededicating this temple to the worship of the Most High. He showed @ the outset how their cathedral bad been the result of the longings and the labors and the sacrifices and the gifts alike of the exalted and the humble of all the faithful followers of the teachings of | the Church, The building was reac {cr use, and those who were of the Church had reason to rejoice at tho completeon of this beautiful structure, Well migta they all congratulate each other and be proud of it, with all its grandeur and ite beauty. It was ao era in the history of the Church, People Outside asked how it was that bumble Christians united together and erected so noble an edifice, It was beca' true faith lived im the soul, because the people were like the leraclites of old, who brought their wealth and eub- stance to the erection and dedication of the Temple of God) Bach must always be the INVLUENCR OF TRUER PAITH residing in the hearts of men; and yet all this was nothing to the divine gift of Christ crucified, a gift that ‘was to us all in all, and the example which we preached to all extending and maintaining the Church Ho 19) "9 admis: | w.

Through all this the Churcls | taught the truth, confiding im the sacred promise, “I | am with you always,? and im similar promises, So He sustained the Chureh and carried her safely” on through all these eighteen centuries to this hour. | There bas never been an hour when men could look | around and say, “The Church has vanished.” God had | carried her on from one triumph to another and never ip all the past did she count so many members in her fold as in these, the closing years of the nineteenth: | century. For three long centuries the mightiest of all | past powers, the Koman Empire, sought to crush the | Church, but she bas lived on while nations have risem, | and decayed, and dynasties have flourished and faded! nd been overthrown, New schools of doctrine had | been founded, great uprisings of opinion had been made | against her, but from all these conflicts she had come: out firmer and stronger than ever, and she would be stronger in the future, Overturned—Never! She will go FYROM STRKNGTH TO STRENGTH. Every threatening cloud will pass away and be seen, | no more. Inno country of the world had the Church ai | fairer field than in this, Difficulties, ignorance, preju- |-dice might beset her path, but all the Church asked . was afree field to preach the Gospel, Here she had that field, untvammelled by royal prerogative or inimi- cal power, For a hundred years she had been at work. and she had grown with a rapidity like thatof the early’ | centuries, This growth the preacher showed by refer- | ence especially to the last fifty years. Half a century | ago there was but one church in Boston and three in | all New England, Now our churcbes counted by bun- | dreds and our priests by hundreds, and an Archbishop had come to preside over the destinies of New England in place of the two or three priests who administered! its affairs fifty years ago. And all this because the Church had had fair play in a land of, freedom, Thero was the promise of a still greater growth which was before her in the future. Bishop Lynch closed bis sermon with the befedios, tion, The Pontifical mass was then resumed and con~ tinued tll the close of the morning, the “Credo”? being: intoned by the Archbishop. The ceremonies eventu- | ally concluded with the Archiepiscopal Benediction. Later in the day there were receptions of the clergy” | and a banquet In the basement of the cathedral; after which there was solemn Pontifical vespers, at which a sermon was delivered by Rev. Joshua Peter Bodfish, of the St, Paulist congregation of New York, the new rector of the cathedral, BISHOP MLAREN CONSECRATED. THE CATHEDRAL OF ST.

THE CARBONDALE TRAGEDY. | ARREST OF THE ASSASSINS—DAMNING TESTI< MONY AGAINST THEM—A WITNESS WHO SAW THE FATAL BLOW STRUCK--THE MURDERERS TAKEN TO JAML AT MIDNIGHT TO ESOAPE LYNCHING. Carnonpate, Pa., Dec. 8, 1875, This city was the scene of the most intense excite. ment last night over the arrest of two men named | Gailagber and Brennan, for the murder of Thomas Gilmartin, who was found dead on the steps of Captain Flynn’s hotel, on Saturday morning last. It was feared that the murderers would never be captured, as the tragic affair seemed involved in the most profound | mystery, and even at the Coroner's inquest nothing | could be elicited to point to the guilt of anyone But the unquiet conscience of the dssassins would not let them rest There was a witness to their crime, and as Jong as he lived they did not feel secure. His name is Jesse Morris, a young man of good reputation, who saw | one of the prisoners strike the knife that did the deed | to Gilmartin’s heart. { BAFFLED ASSASSINS, | On Sunday night last, about eleven o'clock, Galtighor | and Brennan went to the house of Morr The wl | was fastened, and in reply to the knock Morris answered by asking “Who's there?” “We want to see pide was the answer; “come outside a few minutes.” | The voice sent a thrill through Morris, He recognized it at once and immediately answered that he could not go out, as he had taken off his shoes and was preparing to | goto bed. The men said they wanted to see him on pressing business and wouldn’t detain him long, but it | was all to no purpose; he would not go out, as some- thing whispered to him that if he did be would never | revurn. ‘The detective wants to see you,” said the | man at last. “It’s no use,’ replied Morris; “I can’t | see any one to-night, so that’s enough.’? went away, muttering something, from which Morris gathered the fact that they were very much disap- pointed.
