UHyAflntre.
Etfore AlcJeriurm South, yestorJay after
noon, James Monaghan had a final hearing
on the charge of (hooting James Cleary on
Sunday night, the 28th of Angust. Oom-
lainant testified that he was at the public
ouse of Edward Bonnoll, No. 17 Soath
Ninth street, when two men drove no in a
wgon and came into the tavern to get a drink.
One of the men asked him to drink with
tlieiu, and while he was at the bar Monaghan
threw a tnmbler at him, and he hurled the
bar pitcher at Monaghan; then they clinched
and were Boon separated. Monaghan then
went away and returned in an hour and a
balf, and presented a pistol at witness. Cleary
jumped and got hold of him, and both fell
to the floor. Monaghan fired three shots,
one of which took effect In Cleary's hip,
causing, however, only a flesh wound. Mona
ghan was held in !f2(X0 bail f or his appear
ance at the next term of the Court.
Q Between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Mr. Edward N. Megargee, residing in
the Twenty-second ward, was aroused from
Bleep by a noise in the house, and upon going
down stairs discovered a man in the act of
Inndling tip some articles preparatory to
tl eir removal. Giving the alarm, Policeman
"William Bishop came to his assistance, and
the burglar was secured.
About 11 o'clock on Tuesday evening,
while Nicholas Hogan was passing along Sixth
street, near Fitz water, on his way home, he
was attacked by the gaqg of young men and
l adly beaten. They knocked him down and
jumped on him, and all without any cause as
far as he knows.
The Board of Trusts held a stated
meeting yesterday afternoon, at their rooms
on South Fifth street. The several repre
sentatives of the various trusts made report
that matters were progressing satisfactorily
in their different departments. The row of
new houses upon the Girard property at
Hixthand Brown streets were being rapidly
erected. Two of them are already under
roof; four others are rapidly being roofed;
and the remaining ten, for the same purpose,
will bo ready by next week. The alteration
into stores of the three dwellings in Girard
Row is being rapidly pushed forward. The
estate, when they are completed, will be one of
the finebt rows of stores in the city. The studies
in the college have been resumed, after a
vacation of two months. The boys are now
attending to their studies with renewed
energy. A battalion of cadets has been
organized, and supplied with muskets suited
to their age. Military discipline is now an
established portion of the institution, and
these four companies of college cadets, well
uniformed, are in an excellent state of disci-
filice. Tbey are armed and equipped, with
heir own band, consisting of pupils. They
present a very pleasing appearance. The
Board have directed the paving of Water
street with Belgian blocks, but the lateness
of the season and the difficulty of procuring
material will compel a delay until the coming
spring. The board are taking measures for
a thorough examination of the valuable Girard
lands in Schuylkill and Columbia counties, as
well as the large body of lands in Centre
county bequeathed to them by Elias
Boudinot.
The Republican Invincibles held a largo
meeting last evening at Conoert Hall. Hon.
R. Stockett Matthews was the orator.
About 8 o'clock last night a fire broke out
in the upper story and roof of No. (5-J0
Spruce street. Before water could be put
upon it, the flames had gained considerable
headway and threatened the destruction of
the surrounding property. They were
finally got under control, and had been appa
rently extinguished, when they suddenly
broke out from beneath the tin on the roof
of No. 028, and for a short time they burned
fiercely. They were finally extinguished by
the flood of water poured upon them, but
not until considerable loss had been entailed
upon the occupant and owner of the pro
perty No. t',28, Mrs. A. P. Anderson. The
damage will not probably exceed $'2Q0, and
is fully covered by insurance.

THE1B HEBOIO DEFENSE THE .PRUSSIANS
AEOTJXD PAEI3 THE REVOLUTION IN SOME.
London, Sept. 14. Dispatch to New York He
rald. In diplomatic circles in this city, tbe mls
kion of M.Thiers is deemed a complete failure,
to tar as it relates to the application tor an inter
cession in behalf of a stay of hostilities.
Loudon, Sept. 14 Dispatch to the New York
Herald. The latest advices from Strasburg are to
the effect that the heroio defence is drawing to a
clote, and the surrender Is imminent, occasioned
by the failure of ammunition and provisions.
London, Sept. 14 Special to the New York
Tribune. The bavarian ministers are consider
ing a scheme for the reconstruction of the North
German Confederation and for forming a German
Parliament. The democratic socialists are agitat
ing for peace with their French brethren, ana are
protesting egainnt the annexation of Alsace ana
Lorraine. A printed address was seized by tbe
police in Brunswick and its authors and publishers
imprisoned.
Mr. Washburne's letter to Favre Is sharply criti
cised by the national Zeitung. It Is said that he
Lad authority merely to recognize the new He
public, and all beyond was an expression of personal
reeling. It complains of his failure to protect the
Germans under his care, now persecuted by Gam
betta more cruelly than before. The King pro
bibits the storming of Straxburg until It is possible
without a great sacrifice of life. It is continued
that Baiaine refuses all terms, and it Is expected
tbst be will attempt to cut bis way out.
The removal of General Stelnmets was caused
partly by his needlet-s sacrifice of troops, and partly
by bis Laving fought at Splrecken and Forbach
gainft General Moltke's orders, and made the
battles of Augubt 14 and 16 necessary. Tbe German
Princes are preparing a manifesto regarding the
future organization and government of Germany,
to forestall popular action and anticipate liberal
action. Minister Van Del Bruck, after visiting all
the Princes not with the army, especially tbe King
of Saxony, bas now gone to report to the King's
hfettdouarters.
Pauis, Sept. 14, via London Jules Favre has
received tbe congratulations of the diplomatic rep
resentatives or ngiaua, Spain, Austria ana noi
liiiri. who remain at Paris.
Ibe fugitives from Marshal McMahou's army
reach the neighborhood bv hundreds.
Tbe Prussians are pumping the water from the
inoaw around Strasburg, and it is reported that
that they are preparing to send out balloons from
which nitro-glycerine will be dropped into tbe
V,encb magazine.
pa am. Kent. 11. rsceclal to the New York
XiBf.-l aia convinctd that we shall soon Lave
praoe. Th Repnbllcans now say openly that peace
must be bad at any price. One who has intimate
relations with the government tells me to-day that,
eost what It mar, peace will be made at once, as
the only wav of saving the Republic. Tbe Franca
American fraternization Is culminating into ex
travagance. Mr. Washburne is the hero of the
hour, and daily demonvtrations in his honor take
place. The name of the Avenue t'Imperatrice Is to
be changed to the "Avenue tlei Klatt Unit."
Pari, Sept. 13, evening Special dispatch to
the New York Tribune One of the secretaries
of the Brttlph embassy bas started for the Prussian
headquarters to aek whether negotiations are
possible.
A correspondent, writing from Rheinn, Sept. 6,
describes a conversation with Bt.marck, who beg in
by expressing high regard for General Shorid in,
and gratitude to the United States for their sym
pathy with Germany.
To a remark concerning German unity Bismarck
replied that there wan no stronger friend of unity
than himself, but care was required In accomplish
lug the work. "South Germany having fought by
our side her wishes must be considerodand her In
clinations cannot now be compelled. We must ob
tain the consent ot those States to join us. la
Bavaria it seems impossible to agree on any form
of union, even among thoto who favor union. At
Baden things look better. No doubt there is an
opening."
The news of tho French Republic had Just been
received, on which Bismarck said, "We shall not
interfere with their domestic affairs." To a sug
gestion that there must be time settled gavern
ment to give Priienia a secure, guarantee for the
payment of the wht expenses and indemnity, Bis
marck replied only by repeating "We dn't want
to interfere with the domestic affairs of France.
Our people think we mirst have those Gorman pro
vinces that France tooK Irotn us many years a?o.
We must, at least, render Franco powerless ts me
nace us by the same road. Metz and Strasburg we
must have, and we ask no more. They are neaes
eary to our own safety. We are a very patient
people. They have been telling us that we would
not light, and that they would compel u.j. Well,
we aro like tho father cf a family, who, after en
during many insults, at last consents to tight a
duel, but only on condition that the struggle shall
be decisive and shall be final."
A correspondent, writing from the headquarters
of the Italian army at Terni, on Sept. 10, say
Senor Martini passed through that place, returning
from Home, taking only an autograph letter from
the King to the Pope, in which the King simply
stnted that considering the important events that
had occurred, he had thouehr. it his duty to occupy
the Papal territory, promising to the Pontiff tho
free exercise of his spiritual ollice.
According to Cadorno's information, Martini had
been received by the Pope, who said: "When the
King's troops enter, 1 will decliro myself a pri
soner." Cadorno believes the Popo has ordarcd
bis troops not to resist the Italian government, anil
that be ardently desires to avoid bloodshed. Col.
Charettc, commandtr of the Papal forces, not
withstanding the Pope's order, threatens to oppose
the Italians. His force is concentrated near Mont
falco, where defensive works are thrown up.
The Papal army amounts to 17,000 well armed
and equipped soldiers, having Remington muskets
and several mitrailleuses.
The zouaves threaten to massacre the people if a
rising occurs. Calorno told mo that if any act of
brutality Is committed they will kill the foreign
troops to the last 111311, but tb.9 natives will be
treated as brothers.
Three divisions of tbe Italian army are encamped
near Tern!.
I asked Cadorno If there was any chance of their
now abandoning the enterprise, and he started and
exclaimed, "Dou't you see the spirit of the army
and the people; to draw back now would be to ruin
tbe government."
Florence, Sept. 11 The answer sent by Mar
tini from the Pope proves to be utterly illegible.
The Cabinet vainly endeavored to decipher It, and
the dispatch is believed to be a trick of Antonelll
to gain lime.
London, Sept. 14 Special dispatch to the New
York Tribune. General Hazen arrived yes
terday and left for the German headquarter?,
General Bernstorff having telegraphed to Count
Bismarck for a pass. Captain Raymond Rodgers,
of the steamship Franklin, Is here. His ship will
remain for some weeks at Portsmouth. The malls
started to-night for Paris, but none have arrived.
A correspondent telegraphs from Berlin to-day
as follows: On trustworthy authority I can give
the position of the government as follows: The
so-called national defence government in Paris,
though existing ite. facto, is of no validity de jure,
nor will we treat with it.
When Paris is taken, tbe Senate and Corps Legis
latif, with tbe regency, the government de jure.
can, and It Is expected will, resume their sessions
and appoint a commission to accept terms of peace,
and the Empress can return. When peace has
been concluded, Napoleon will be released and
France will be left free to Lave an Emperor, or
such other government as Its people may want.
London, Sept. 14 Special to the New York
World. A grand democratic meeting will be held
on Monday next, and resolutions will be introduced
rolling upon Mr. Gladstone to acknowledge the
French Republic.
Advices from Lyons state that all English and
GeimanB have been ordered to leave. The red
republicans are in the ascendant and a terrible
spirit is rising. Great meetings have been held of
the workmen of La Croix Rousse, who threatened
Tort Montressy. Martial law was declared and the
people clamored for the expulsion of the Jesuits,
and coffins were opened in one of tbe convents in
search of arms and money.
From Paris we learn that the American legation
Las been compelled to double Its force. Steam en
gines are stationed in tbe streets ready to extinguish
fires.
The Palais Royal and Palais de 1'InduBtrIe are
barracks tilled with troops. A battery of mitrail
leuses is established on tho arch de triumph.
General Ripley, of confederate fame, and two
artillery officers of tba United States army during
tbe war have commands under Trochu.
Many Americans have volunteered. The Seine
is patrolled by gunboats. The advance guard of
the Prussians is before Paris, consisting of 43,000
men, and the remainder are moving up slowly,
having reached Coulommiers on Tuesday in force.
There Is a rumor of an engagement yesterday be
tween the German light cavalry and sharpshooters,
at Moret, a station four miles from Fontainebleu,
in which the cavalry were badly beaten and driven
back. An alliance between Russia and Austria is
believed to have been consummated.
it is reported that Parliament will be convened
in October.
Instructions have been sent to the English fleet
in China to co-operate with the French In avenging
the massacre of the missionaries. Russia is also to
act with the western Powers.
The distress and gloom in east Prussia Las led
to some outbreaks.
Telegrams from Florence announce the occupa
tion of Vlterbo, Civita Catellana,Magleano, and
Monte-Rotondo, by the Italian troops, under Ca
dorno. Another column, under Bixlo, is under the
walls of Civita Vecchia, to co-operate with the
fleet of Admiral Cerrati, and a third column is at
Anagui.
