The other Lilt did not differ materially from this, According to the construction given 10 the act of 1868 by the Governor, the bonded indebtedness of a railroad com- pany could have been increased to $500, 00 a mile, and as he considered such a power dangerous, he suggested that it be modified. The bills were accordingly recalled.

A Cry of Distress Causes a Rush Crowds from Both Sides— Many Persons Killed and Wounded. New York, May 30.—A terrible a ci- dent occurred on the Brookiyn bridge at 430 o'clock to dsy. The bridge was crowded to its utmost capacity. On the platform of the New York tower the jam became 80 great that many persons faint. en, A cry of distress was raised, and a struggle began between the panie strick- en crowds coming cast and west. A number were, it is reported, crushed to death, In the end: the crowd coming from the Brooklyn side prevailed, and rushed toward the New York anchorage tramping down every thing in its way. Men, women and children were trodden under foot, and falling down the steps leading to the tower platform, were bur. ie] under a mass of stroggliog bumanity many*fectibigh. As soon as the news of the disaster was conveyed to the New York station by the onset of the panic stricken crowd, the police were called and the bridge was closed. The work of removing the crushed and woonded then began, The police report that at least ton or filteen were killed. Along the iron fences on the boatway, on the ril- road track and on the carriage way on both sides of the bridge the dead and wounded were lmd. More than balf a score were dead when extricated. Others were more or less terribly injured. They lay six, eight or ten deep, those in the lower tier being dead. The clothes were torn from the body of more than one in the attempt to get them out. Five wo- men. all dead, and tramped into an nn- shapely mass, were taken from the bot- tom of the heap. It was shortly after four o'clock, and the bridge was crowded from one end to another, so that there was bardly elbow room or footway, A woman who was as- sending the lower flight of steps stam- bled and fell on the landing. The crowd pressed upon her and she shrieked, and the crowd above and below pressed to- ward the spot to discover the cause of the commotion. The crush immediately became fearful. Those on the approach below the steps were carried foreward in a solid mass. Many tupbled, and, una. ble jo resist the pressure from behind, the crowd passed over them. From above the crowd coming from Brooklyn rag carried to the edge of the steps and then fell over and down upon the strog- gling mass below, Men an women fought with the strength of dispair agrinst each other. Escape was impossible with the pressure on both sides growing at every shout of anguish that went up from the dying and those who saw death before their eyes. Fear and dispair on the one of mastery, The frightful crush was denser than ever when, after nearly fifteen min- utes, a score of militiamen of the Twelfth ed up the approach toward Brooklyn. The yelis of the crowd attracted their attention. At the foot of the steps a wall of human bodies was piled high. The dense mass surged about, and in it the soldiers saw two policemen struggling sgainst it, Sergeant Couldock took in the sitation at a glance, and at his word of command his men scaled the fence and the railroad track separatiog them from the sidewalk, and wedging into the mass of people near the scene of the disaster drove back the crowd at the New York entrance at the muzzle of their guns. It fell back slightly and the militiamea fol- lowing up the advantage gained forced it back until the approach was cleared. lustead of decreasing travel grew con- siantly as ramors of the disaster began to fly through Brooklyn. These rumors had it that the bridge had fallen and that hundreds bad been crushed. A crowd of roughs passed on behind the crowd coming from Brooklyn and fought their way through it with oaths and ribaldry and over the bodies of the dead. It was said that there were thieves who profited by the opportunity helped to precipitate the catastrophe. THE DESPERATE CROWD. At last, with a single shriek that cut through the clamor of thousands of voices, a young girl, who lost her foots ing on the perilous edge, fell headlong. She struck the pathway at the foot of the steps and lay for a moment. She raised lLierself on her hands and would have got up, bat in another moment she was bar- jed four deep under the bodies of others who fell over the steps after her, She was dead when they got her out, more than a half an hour afierward. The men sprang upon rails at the side and waved the crowds back both from the New York and Brooklyn sides, but people continued tc crowd on toward the steps. No police were in sight, Every minute the excitement grew worse, Men in the crowd lifted their children above their heads to save them from a crush. Peo- ple were still paying (their pennies at both gate and swarmed in.

The Advice of { ongres i Finnerty to His Fellow-Cowndrymen, Chicago, May 17. ed by John F. Fionerly, member of Con- gress from the Third Illinows District, tas the following editorial, beaded “Boy- cott the Pope”: Of ell the productions of Papal inter- ference in the affairs of Ireland that have marked the policy of the Vatican, from the days of Adrian 1V. to those of John NX X11, and from the reign of that Pontiff to the present time, the iast circular ad- dressed by Jeo X1il to the lrish Bish- ops and clergy in regard to the Parnell fand is the most intolerably impertinent. Ifthe Irish people submit cravenly to this Italian lash, the whip being far- nished by the Pope's worthy ally, Victo- ris, by the grace of God, and so forth, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, they will forfeit the respect of the world at large. Bat what are they going to do about it ? may be asked. We reply, let them hold public meetings throughout every diocese in Ireland, pass resolutions sternly de- poanecing any more of His Holiness’ un- holy intervention in Insh politics, and tell him, once and for all time, firmly and respectfaily, to miad his own busis ness as the head of the Catholic Church, They might supplement this action by resolving not to contribate a single cent of Peter's pence while Leo XI11L. occu- pies the Papal chair, or at least natil he quits his palpable and scandalons alli- ance with the arch enemy of the Irish nation and race. Ina word, we advise our countrymen, if they have any respect for themselves or for Ireland, to boycott the Pope and teach him a lesson that may be serviceable at least to his suc cessors. Cut off some of the monetary supplies of Leo XIIL and teach him without being misunderstood, that the Irish race cannot be bulldozed into ela very by the bayonets of England or by thunders of Rome. We hope the Irish Bishops and clergy will have backbone enough to resent this Roman outrage on their patriotism. Ireland will stand by them against Pope Leo and every other foreign busy body, be he Saxon or Ital. an, The Citizi ii, pul lish - o_o. wme'The western fever is cooling down after the display of the tornadoes and Solgnes.
