A Ureal Battle Imminent.
gpe:tal to the Courrier des JXatS'Unis.
Paris, Aug. 25. I will be brief. I cannot
peak of the movements of UaoMahon, upon
whom rests to-day all hope for the country.
Silence is both my security and duty, bat I
as say that I share these hopes, and that I
believe that the conquered of Woerth will
gain a brilliant revenge. A great battle is
imminent, not because we seek to deliver it,
but because the enemy is in a condition
which mokes it absolutely necessary for his
success to move with rapidity. Delays will
turn against him.
.Prussia's Victory Mast Be Immediate If at all.
Von Moltke knows that Germany, with its
system of recruiting, must conquer promptly,
or will be the real victim of the campaign.
Fifteen days of inaction on his part will give
Tin time to form two new armies and to rein
force those which to-day resist invasion. There
is then necessarily an immediate prospect of
a serious conflict.
All Peace Talk Futile.
There is some talk of peaee at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, but consider it for certain
that, except under a crushing defeat, we will
hoar nothing of it so long as a Prussian sol
dier remains on the soil of Franoe. D'Auvergne
has said this, and the entire press unani
mously approves it.
The Ileadqaartera of Kin Wlllln.ni
are at Bar-le-Duo. One oorps of the Prussian
army which took part in the battle of Woerth
occupies the Department of Aube.
The Paris Advance Continue.
The march of the enemy on Paris con
tinues, but with evident hesitation. This it
the news at the Ministry of the Interior up
to noon.
Another Stormy Session
of the Corps Legislatif upon the errors of
the Committee of Defense was held last
night. As usual, there was much noise for.
nothing.
The German U bines.
London, Aug. 20. The German Uhlans
are objects of prodigious terror at Paris.
Their arrival there is momentarily expeoted.
Patrols are stationed everywhere in the vici
nity to announoe the event.
Keaume of the (Situation.
London, Aug. 20. The Times this morn
ing has the following resume of the situa
tion: King William, leaving sufficient force
before Metz, where the Biege works rise like
exhalations, joined the Crown Prince, who
was pushing on for Paris. The movements
of MacMabon begin now to be intelligible.
A fugitive from Woerth, and avoiding
Metz, he passed through t the Vosges
to the Moselle, to Nancy, and to
Chalons, where he was reinforced by the
Garde Mobile and volunteers. His obvious
aim has been to bar the passages and pre
vent the advance of the Crown Prince on
Paris. A Recti ng to disregard him, the Grown
Prince moved on his flank past the
camp at Chalons, offering MacMahon
battle, which the latter declined,
retreating on llheims, leaving the Chalons
camp all to the Prussians. Since that time
liheims itself has been abandoned. The ob
vious motive throughout on the part of the
French has been to avoid a fight. The
Prussians are now within a short march of
Paris, where perhaps soma alight additional
resistance may be met.
The (iraad March ParU.
Buiun, Aug. 20. One oorps of the First
and Second Armies still confronts Bazaine,
while the remainder of the Prussians have
marched on Paris.
Inundation of Metz.
Pa&i, Aug. 20. The environs of Metz
have been inundated by order of the French
authorities.
At A Council of Ministers yesterday favora
Lie news was communicated from both of the
French armies.
No Setieua Flghtlnc Yesterday.
It ia now certain there was no serious fight

evening.

that the Prussians are no longer at Chalons.
The army of the Prince Itoyal has retro

greater part of two Prussian regiments.
The Artillery Flhc at Heal.
artillery battle at Kehl and StrssWg on
Wednesday night, losting until ' Thursday
morning at 5 o'clock. A large part of the
citadel and arsenal in Strasburg are de
stroyed. Many fires have occurred in that
city on acoount of the vigorous bombard
ment. A French battery located at Marvien
was captured without loss to the Prussians.
The French fire has destroyed about twenty
houses in Kehl.
French Error Rectified.
Feulin, Aug. 20. The Frenoh storie? that
the Prussians were checked yesterday be
tween Chalons and Verdun are false.
Bealnaloar of a Reign of Terror.
Paris, Aug. 25 Evening. General Tro
chu, Governor of Paris, has decreed that all
individuals devoid of means of subsistence,
and whose presence contributes to the danger
of publio order and to the seourity of person
or property, or whose acts tend to impede the
measures of the authorities for defense and
general safety, are to be expelled from Paris.
All infractions of the above order m ist be
defended before military tribnniN.

FROM WASHINGTON,
Admiral Porter.
Special Despatch to The Kvening Te'ojraph.
Washington, Aug. 36. Secretary Robeson,
in conversation with a United States officer to
day, stated that Vice-Admiral David D. Porter
was now admiral, bis appointment as such
having been made out and forwarded to him on
the 20th of the present month. This appoint
ment is subject to the confirmation of the
Senate, but it Is useless to think of its meeting
with any very serious opposition.
The Vlee-AdmlraUhlp.
The appointment to the vice-admlralship is
one of considerable discussion and comment
here among official circles. Nothing is definitely
known as yet who will be the successful one.
Admirals Goldsborough, Godon, Rowan, and
Rodgers are named by many as the ones that the
selection will doubtless be made from.
However, there is a rumor in circulation,
which appears to have considerable foundation,
that the President has spoken in favor of Rear
Admiral Stephen C. Rowan, who Is a resident of
Pennsylvania, and Is now on his return to the
United States from the Asiatic station, where he
has been in command for several years until re
lieved by Rear-Admiral Rodgers, who left New
York in the Colorado in January last.
The Ordnance Department.
Commodore A. Ludlow Cose, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, Navy Department, and
who was acting Secretary of the .Navy during
the absence of Secretary Robeson, has instruc
tions to visit the Philadelphia and several other
Navy Yards on business connected with the
Ordnance Department.
Appointment.
Charles Brown, of Camden, has been ap
pointed a watchman in the Philadelphia Navy
Yard.
Resignation Accepted.
The resignation of Midshipman Winfleld S.
Baker, of the Ciuerriere, at New York, has been
accepted.
Professor Hayden and the theological Survey.
DtspaU-h to the Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 26 A letter received at
the Interior Department from Professor Hayden,
of the Geological Survey, dated at Fort Fetter
man August 17, gives the satisfactory informa
tion of the safe arrival of himself and party at
that point, meeting no difficulties on the route,
and haviDg prosecuted bis survey successfully
to that point. Ho states that since Red Cloud
returned from Washington there have been no
depredations whatever in that region, and that
the party will proceed westward In a day or
two through the Sweetwater Valley, and pro
bably without an escort.
FROM NEW YORK.
TerrtbletMtorm Along the Hudson Loss of Life.
Monthose, N. Y., Aug. 26. A terrible storm
of thunder and lightning prevailed along the
Hudson river last night. Awful disasters by

A Furious and Torrwrtte Fire la Maiden Lane
He Persona Injured.
" flhortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon a ter
rific explosion occurred in the basement of the five
story brick bnlldtng Mos. us and 120 Maiden lane,
occupied by John W. Wbeelock, dealer In gasoline
and kerosene oil. The caase of the explosion has
not been ascertained, bnt as the cellar was filled
with a large quantity of gasoline in barrels, it is
supposed that the explosion was canned by the Igni
tion, from some unknown caase, of the fumes of
the gasoline. The explosion was of great force, and
. blew out tub doors
of the cellar and the windows In the store. Mr.
Wheelock, who was sitting in the store with some
gentlemen when the explosion occurred, was blown
ont into the street and severely Injured. Captain
Simon Pepper, who was In the cellar at the time, was
terribly burned about the face and body. James
McSbea, a porter In the employ of Wheelock, and
George Cbapln, a clerk in his employ, were also
blown out of the building, and badly injured. Mr.
Wbeelock, after having gained the street, returned
and entered the store to rescue his books and papers,
and was
TJRRIBLV BURNED
about the face and body lie was taken charge of
by some friends, the police not having arrived, and
removed to his residence, No. 181 Vandorbllt ave
nne, Brooklyn. Ills Injuries are of a very severe
and dangerous character. Captain Pepper was re
moved to the Seeond Precinct Poll.se Station, and
thence to the Park Hospital. Ills injuries are of a
terrible nature, and It la feared that fatal conse
quences may ensue.
' TUB GASOLIKB ON FIRS.
In the meantime, the barrels of gasoline In the
cellar had taken Ore and were burning furioosly,
the flames pouring forth In dense volumes through
the cellar door and the grating In front. The Fire
Department were promptly on band, but their efforts
were unavailing to check the flames. - Kearlng that
the flames would communicate with the adjoining
buildings, which are tilled with a large stock of oil.
etc., Chief Engineer Perley ordered
A SKCOND ALARM
to be sounded, whieh brought to his aid a strong re
inforcement of firemen and steamers. The firemen
succeeded in confining the flames to the cellar in
which they had oilglnated. The firemen were com
pelled to a'low the gasoline to burn ltBelf out, and
contented themselves with filling the cellar with
water in their enorts to drown out the flames. .V.

The Last Excursion of Beck's Band To
morrow The final excursion of Beck's Phila
delphia Band, No. 1, positively the last of the
season, will take place to-morrow, Saturday,
August 27, the last boat leaving Walnut street
wharf at 7 30 A. M, This excursion will be
by rail over the Camden and Amboy and other
railroads, and a variation of former programmes
will be made which will allow all to remain
eight hours at Long Branch. Here there will
be much sight-seeing to do on that day, and it
will not be unlikely that the greater part of the ex
cursionists would prefer to stop over at this point
rather than to go on to New York Bay as before.
The series of trotting matches at Monmouth
Park, Long Branch, will take place on that day,
and the grand review and dress parade of Flak's
celebrated 9th Regiment, now encamped at the
Branch, can be witnessed. Their encampment,
also,.can be Inspected by all who are interested
in such matters. The number of tickets for
the excursion has positively been limited, so as
to avoid all danger of an overcrowded train, as
on a former occasion. Tickets cannot be
bought on the morning of the excursion, nor
will any one be allowed upon the train without
a ticket. The fare for the entire excursion Is
only 12-50, which certainly is not a large sum,
considering what is furnished for the money.
Mysterious. About 3 o'clock this morning,
whilst Officers Shern. of the Fifth, and Harri
gan, of the Sixth districts, were standing at
Eighth and Chcsnut streets, they heard a crash
which sounded as though it came from, an alley
near Sansom street. Proceeding to the place,,
they entered, when Officer Shern climbed a fence
to take a survey of a yard. No sooner had ho
done bo than a pistol bullet went whizzing past
his ear. Of course he soon got down oil that
fence. Proceeding more cautiously a farther
exaualnuiluu was made, when It was found that
some thieves bad broken open the cellar-door of
the house No. 809 Sansom street, and had passed
through the yard with the intention of robbing
some one of the stores on Chesnut street, above
Eighth. They managed to escape.
Wholesale Grocery Store Robbed. At
an early hour this morning the wholesale gro
cery establish men t. of Messrs. Thornton and
Barnes, 334 North Delaware Avenue, was en
tered by thieves and robbed of two bags of Java
coffee, ten cbests of tea and sundry other arti
cles, the total value of which Is not known.
How the thieves gained an entrance is yet a
mystery. To remove the goods it is supposed a
wagon was used.
School of Design fob Women At a meet
ing of the Directors of the above institution
held yesterday, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing term: President, W. P.
Wllfltacb; Vice-President, William J. Horat

Sudden Death. Officer McQuade, of the
First district, yesterday found an unknown man
lying on tie Jpavement on Birch street, west of

with a chill, was removed to the station house,
where he soon after died.
Slight Fire. About 8 o'clock last evening
Officer King, of the Fourth district force, dis
covered a fire in Johnson's foundry, Filbert
street, above Sixth. With the aid of some citi
zens it was extinguished without any alarm
being sounded. ,
The Result of Anger About 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon a man named William
Duckett was severely cut about the head with a
bar of iron, wielded by a newsboy, whom he
had been tantalizing. He was taken to the

tbe price rapidly up to 11. Toe hrst recorded sales

many who reassert, however, that such a clique has
been formed to advance the price of gold, which
may or may not develop into an effort to make a
corner, but the prevailing Impression Is fiat only a
short turn will be attempted. Them aro unscrupu

these have a wholesome lear of 8ecreUiry Uontwell,

to gain anything like tbe same head, and with a con

any 'pool, lest It might prove an ocean that would
swallow np them and their fortunes.
"The money market continues to work With the
same ease already noted, the general dnlness on the
Stock Exchange rendering the demand for currency
of a very limited character. The prevailing rate on
call was five per cent., although exceptions oocurred
wncre the collateral oilcred was governments at four
per eebt, and at six per cent, on stocks.
"The Government market was unfavorably af
fected early In the dsy by the London ad vinos, ex
hibiting a very considerable decline In tho prices of
sixty-twos In the market, and later by the large,
offerings at the Sub-Treasury, amounting in the ag

quent improvement In London. The offerings
whl h were distributed were, however, all close on
to the rrarket price The Government purchased

A nether Cnse of Hydrophobia An KlrierlvOea.
Ileumn tho Ylcttui-lila uflerlns and Uwtk.
The 8t. Louis Republican of the 23d instant
says:
The worst symptoms or hydrophobia were devel
oped yesterday in the case of Edwin Krueg, a Ger
man, fifty-seven years of age, Krueg is very tail,
six feet at least, and has grey beard and whiskers.
Ills expression of face Is gaunt aud haggard, and
when In one of his temporary attacks of madness he
raves quite frantically, and his appearance la well .
calculated to excite horror. Re lost the use of one
eye some years ago. He Is said to have been an en
gineer, but has not been actually engaged for some '
time. He Is also a man of family. The particulars '
of the dog-biting which led to such shocking results
are as follows :
Tbe unfortunate man was playing with a dog,
about six weeks ago, and received a slight wound '
from his teeth on tho hand, and although he was
asked to have the wound cauterised, he neglected tn
do so. The first unfavorable symptoms exhibited
themselves about six days ago, and the aid of Dr.
Rlmberger was called In. lie then pronounced It a .
case of hydrophobia. The patient became worse,
and to the ordlnarv svmntoma of tho disAsan. iri

ntterance, was added at times tho wild behavior of a,
desperate lunatic.
Tbe health otneer was notified of the case yester
day, and requested to take the sick man to the hos
pital. An ambulance was sent to the address given,
and the doctor went there himself, but had only a
faint idea of the reception he was going to meet
with. Krueg was found sitting up lu bed with a
rs7.or in one hand and a loaded rifle In the other,
prepared for all comers. His delusion at the time
was that he was going to be killed, and that he ought
to defend himself. Tbe ambulance driver was
obliged to call In the aid or the police, and four offi
cers were assigned the tank or escorting the furious
patient to the hospital. The old man gesticu
lated and raved considerably, but he was In
time sifcly ensconced in a comfortable cell at the
City Hospital. Alter being there a Bhort time the
patient was restored somewhat to rational tran
quillity. He Is subject, however, to paroxysms and
convulsions, and is fully aware when tbov are com-

anything like It. In his calm momenta ho has said
that he wonld like some bread soaked In beer, and

NEGRO OUTBREAK.
A Dody of Colored Alea Attack a Georgia

The Savannah Hrpublican of the 23d instant
says:
We are Indebted to Mr. L. L. Carswell, who
arrived from Louisville on tbe down Central
passenger and freight train, due at Savannah
yesterday afternoon at half-past 5 o'clock, for
the following information regarding an out

lessnees as to threaten to burn the town. At
this crisis, the whites rapidly turned out to de
fend the place, sending messengers to Emanuel
and other counties for assistance, which was
sent in squads of men as fast as circumstances
would allow all Sunday night, and up to eleven
o'clock yesterday morning.
On Sunday night the citizens of Louisville
sent a messenger to Atlanta for a detachment of
