ad hopes that the Peace of Enrope would be main- | tained, A GALA BANQUET, After lunch the Imperial party drove to the Thier- zarten in an-open carriage drawn by the magnificent Orloff trotters which were presented by the Czar, and all along the route the cheering was most en thusiastic. A gala banquet was held in the White Mail of the royal castle and the decorations were ct the most sumptuous kind. The table was graced with the presence of all the renowned generals and statesmen and presented a gorgeous sight. The Emperor sat between the Empress and the Crown Princess and opposite to Prince Bismarck. He drank the health of the army, the band playing the ‘vational anthem, AT THE OPERA. In the evening the Emperor attended the opera, sitting in a private box, Glueck’s “‘Annide” being represented. The audience spontaneously arose in honor of the imperial visitor, and the white haired Emperor kindly bowed his acknowledgments. In spite of the fatigue caused by the day’s receptions he looked In splendid health. AN EVENTFUL LIFE. During the day he repeatedly alluded to the victs- situdes of his eventful life. Seventy years ago his royal father after his disastrous defeat at the battle of Jena, during the flight before Napo- Jeon’s victorious army, appointed Wilhelm, then but ten years of age, @ leutenant in the First Regiment of Guards. This was earlier than was customary in the Hohenzollern family. Prussia was nearly annihilated and the nation hardly entertained a hope of recovery. EARLY MILITARY EXPLOITS, Wilhelm, after the death of his still unforgotten mother, Queen Louisa, who died of a broken heart at Prussia’s fall, though he was only sixteen, took a distinguished part in the war of revenge against Napoleon, twice accompanying the victorious army to Paris, which he again saw as a conqueror in 1870. FORMER U ARITY OVERCOME. During the long peace under his father’s and his brother's reign Wilhelm, who was a thorough soldier, devoted himselt entirely to military studies, Owing to his supposed reactionary principles he was exceedingly unpopular, and in 1848 he was forced by the revolution to fly in disguise to Eng- land. He only gradually succeeded in overcoming the disinclination of the Prussian people, who, since 1866, at first reluctantly but afterward heart acknowledged his great merits and his wonderful achievements for the unification of the fatheriand. ‘OP NO SOVEREIGN MORE BELOVED. Now on the threshold of his eightieth year, but still youthful in spirit and vigor, no sovereign is more beloved or may await the future with greater tranquillity. Germany united by him is the safest barrier against war, and Central Europe isin no way threatened by her neighborhood, ALI. FOR FATHERLAND. True to his self-chosen motto, “My services be- long to the Fatherland,” the Emperor has devoted himself with untiring energy to the welfare of the nation, whose chief servant he humbly considers himself. EXPECTED CONCESSIONS TO TURKISH FEELING, A delayed despatch from Constantinople dated Fri- day, December 29, says it was then believed that at Saturday’s sitting of the Conference the European plenipotentarios would make further concessions to the Porte and an agreement would be reached. It was thought to be improbable that General Ignaticif would remain in Constantinople as Russian Ambassa- flor after tne Conference, It was asserted that the Turkish government contemplated a frcsh tasuo of paper money to the amount of 5,000,000 Turkish pounds, CONCILIATORY ADDRESSES AT THE COXFERENCE, A telegram from Constantinople reports that at Saturday’s sitting of the Conterence after the Turks announced that their counter-proposals were not ready Count Chandordy, the French Plenipotenuary, addressed the Conference, pointing out that the prop- ositions of the Zuropean representatives contained nothing contrary to the mtegrity of the Ottoman Empire. RUSSIA CONCILIATORY. General Ignatieff declared that Russia had made every concession in order to arrive at an understand | ing, ‘Itwas to Turkey’s interest to accept the pro posals of the Powers, Lord Salisbury and the Austrian | and Ita’ representatives expressed approval of these statements. Hopes of a peaceful solution continue. The plenipotentiaries appear disposed to make conces. sions in matters of detail.

The Coroner's jury paid another visit to the sceno of the disaster this morning, and soon after, at ten o’ciock, assembled in the room over the fire engine houso, where the session was held yesterday, and pro- ceeded at once to the business in hand, Hon, L, 8, Sherman, of Ashtabula, an attorney for the railroad company, appeared and made a statement to the effect that he was not present as counsel for the company, but that he had been requested by the oificers to be present and aid in securing a fair and exhaustive in- vestigation, Areport had been circulated that Con- ductor Henn had been bullied in giving bis testimony on yesterday, and Mr. Hall, the attorney employed by the Coroner to conduct the examination of witnesses, declared, as did several of the jurors, that such reports were entirely unfounded, and nothing of the kind should be allowed, TESTIMONY OF AN EMPLOYE. i James A, Manning was the first witness called. He is engineer of the company’s waterworks at this sta- fon, and testified in substance as follows :— ‘Tho engine house is located about twenty-five feat from the west pier of the bridge; at theMimo of the accident witness was on his way from the depot to the engine house, and was about 700 feet from the bridge; heard the train whistle, and knew by the noise that something was wrong; judged that the train was off the track; the next instant he heard the crash of the falling cars; he ran toward the bridge, saw the en- ginecr, McGuire, of the forward engine standing on the track, who said:— “My God! Manning, they have all gone down!” When he got to the foot of the steps leading to the base of the piers he saw one car standing on end, lean- ing against the west pior of tho bridge at an angle of avout forty-live degrees, and on fire at the upper end; thero was no fire in any other part of the wreck at this time; ono sleeper was on tho south sido of this car, boing right gide up, a8 were all the other cars; as far as wito could see the fire did not break out at any other point of the wreck, but spread from the first car, and this car was still burning after tho entire wreck was on firo; when witness arrived at the scene there was no other person there, but soon after he met wounded people and others; he gave ono man an axe and a puil and directed him to try and put out the fire; he then went to the engine house to get bars and levers; he knows of no other orders or offorts to put out the fire, but other pails were brought. The clock of the locomotive that went down was handed to witness, It had stopped at thirty-two min- utes paat seven o'clock. Tho witness continued :— It was about ten o'clock when the last hive man was taken frem the wreck, and at that time the wreck was a mass of flume; the wind was light andcame m gusts; witness helped no ono out ofthe wreck; there are no appliances in the engine house for throwing water except about forty feet of three-quarter inch rubber hose used in cleaning the house; the wreck 1s about 300 feet from tho house; witness bad never heard any romarks about the safety of the bridge and knew nothing about at EVIDENCE OF A PASSENGER, The next witness called was Captain Charles H. Tyler, of St. Louis, who was a passenger on the tram atthe time of the accident and had been cut und bruised im the face, head and baud, but not seriously. Mr, ‘Tyler's evidence was comprehensive and distinct. Witness is a commission merchant, bat had been for twenty-four years captain on a Mississippi | River steamboat, and from his experience in this lat- | ter capacity he based lis opinion as to the number of passengers on the tram, which he places at tully 200; he was riding in the through sleeping car Palatine, and | thinks there wero three or four cars behind that; there were nineteen passengers in this car, of whom he | knew personally Mrs. Graham, of New York; Miss | Shepherd, of Wisconsin; Mr, Thomelsen, of St. Louis, and Mr, Lyon, ot New York; (he train at the | tine wos runping at about the rate of fifteen miles an hour; just previous to the accident witness had sat down with a card party; the first intimation of anything unusual oecurring was a shock and the breaking of one of the lamps; almost immediately another crash followed, by which two lamps wero broken and the car was left im totul darkness; a mo- ment after one end of the car dropped, and Mr. Lyon, | one of the card party, cried: — 4 “My God! we are going down |? It seemed to witness, so intense were his feelings during the frightful leap, that tt was fully ten minutes | before the car struck; the cresh was terrific; another car fell endways on to the rear end of the Palatine, | completely smashing off about ten feet of the car, in which were two men, both of whom must have been killed instantly; the sleeping car City of Buffalo, which witness thinks was the next car, fell on its side; not a soul was saved from this car; witness got out of the car and climbed over the City of Buttalo, aiding Miss Shepherd at the same time; witness grasped the wreck with his hands and Miss Shepherd slipped down followed at once; there Was nothing lett inside the City | persons aud no seats, and no cries or | groans came from that car; vory faint wails and groans | could be heard as if coming from beneath the ruins | Mr. Tyler testified further as to the mumber of. per- sons on the train, all of which was in corroboration of | | | his opmiion that there were 1n all 200, Mr, Tyler said he attached no blaino to the railrond company, and to | the citizens thanks were due from all for their labors, ANOTHER SURVIVOR SWORS, ‘The next witness was Mr. T. wift, of North | Adams, Mas, a hotel keeper, who was on the wrecked | train with bis wite, Mrs, Bingham, of Chicago, and | When news of the acciaent was first received fears were | Miss Mabel Arnold, of North Adams, who were under his care, Besides these witness knew Mr. White, of Boston, and Mr. Brewster, of Milwaukee; there were about twenty persons in the car, the Palatine; the train was running at the rate of about eightoen miles per hour; witness was one ol a whist party atthe time | of the accident, the first promonition of which was tho breaking of the lamps and the careening of the car, which bounced as ff it wero off the trw then came the fearful sense of dropping; witness was strack on | the bgad by something, knocked senseless, and from | that time until he reached a hotel was unconseicus | of what passed, although he walked up the | stairs, led by his wife; witness had gono through the | train at Eric, and thinks there were 200 passengers on | the train; coald not say as to the number of children; does not think any in tho Palatine were lost, and be- | Neves there was but ono cor in the rear ot the Pala tine. The Inquest was then adjourned until to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.

EN ER COLLINS’ STATEMENT, Your correspondent interviewed Mr, Charles Col- ling, chief engineer of tho road, 16-day, with reference to the bridge and to ascertain apon what theory he ac- counted for the accident, Mr, Collins says the bridge was built eleven or twelve years ago, Howe truss bridge, with improvements made and patented by Mr. Amasa_ Stone, then president of the road. Tho bridge was crectod under the direction of Mr. Tomlinson, Mr. Collins having but little to do with ft, as Mr. Stone, being a practical bridge builder, had especial super. vision over bridges; ho (Collins) had always regarded itas arate bridge and had never said otherwise; ho had arrived ut bo conclusion as to the cause of the break and had no theory upon which to base a conclu- sion; some discovery after tho bridge had been raised might disclose the cause, but he ratper fav- ored the belief that tho real cause never could be discovered; two heavy ongines had passed on to the bridge in switching cars about forty minutes pro- vions to the dent, which would seem to show that the cause of the brenk attended the fatea train, Rumors and regorts condemnatory of the railroad | company and of the bridge are rife on ail sides, but the | Herat correspondent is assured of the entire correct- ness of every fact heretofore stated, ind Webb, sleeping car It was a | ONE OF THE MANY SAD INCIDENTS oF THE AWFUL CALAMITY—FEARFUL ENDING OF A WEDDING TRIP-DEATH OF PROFESSOR HENRY G.
