THE CRISIS IN FRANCE
THE SITUATION IN PARIS
Determination of the People—Humors
Regarding Mediation—An Alliance
Offensive and Defensive with
Russia—Joy Oyer Ame
rican Recognition.
[By Cable.]
Paris, Sept. 8,1870.—At midnight on the 7th
and, in the early morning .hours of tp-day the
city continued calm andtranquil, but it is easy
to observe that it is strangely quiet, and that,
looking underneath the surface of society, it
can be seen that there exists a serious feeling
—one of deadly apprehension—in the; public
mind. There is no doubt a very general, but
at present concealed, desire for peace. Peace
on any, terms is regarded by many as prefer
able to the alternative of subjecting the capi
tal of Prance to the horrors and dangers of a
siege; - but everybody is afraid, to talk,
and no person will take upon him
self ehher . to utter the idea or
speak-for the'peace men. No one talks of
yielding to the German enemy. M. Jules
Favre’s circular is approved of by the people.
Its words inspire courage in the minds of those
who were hitherto wavering, doubting and
undecided in their opinions on the crisis. The
very sombre state of the weather increases the.
depression; it makes the Parisians melan
choly as well as being disappointed and irrita
ted. To add to the depression the Uhlans
are reported as approaching the city
with, rapidity. , What Effect their actual
arrival may produce it is difficult to
say. It may he, indeed it is likely, to be,one of
•defiance, although I entertain the opinion
that if the question were honestly decided,
according to the exact wishes of the inhabi
tants, the vote would he in favor of submis
sion and ultimate peace. The great trouble in
the city is the want of proper organization for
any one particular object, or organization
witb any specific intent. There are a number
of mongrel bodies of soldiers, but a great
scarcity of officers to control them. The sol
diers dread the thieves ahd “ roughs.'’
Paris is now fully armed. The hope that the
Prussians would not arrive at- the City for
■•ighteen days from to-day has proved to be
fifiaeious. it is now held by every one who
reads of the uninterrupted march of the-
German troops that they will be at the fortifi
cations 6f Paris- in the middle of the next
ensuing, week; The final approach -of-the
Prussians will doubtless he made by way of
Vincennes and St. Denis. It is expected that
a government noticp will be issued to-morrow
I ordering the expulsion of women and children
item. the municipality. The exodus of
Grangers flying in every direction is iu creas
ing hourly: The hotels are empty of foreign
visitors.- j ,
llangry Office-Seekers.
' The members of. the new •Ministry are be
-ieged by applicants for office at' every step
and at all hours. It reminds me forcibly of
-cenes which I have- witnessed round the
Uity.-Jlall in -New York after-a municipal
election. The hungry outs want to get in.
Notwithstanding the condition of the country
i buy appear still more anxious to turn all the
imperialists from place, so as to provide situ
ations and pay for the crowds of hungry re
publicans who implore them for,employment.
J his feeling is much more prominent than
that i f guarding against the approaching
enemy. -
The “patriotic” newspapers talk wildly and
incoherently. One journal proposes to
Born Paris,
as was Moscow inface of the invasion of Na
poleon the First. Another writer recommends
mines filled with gunpowder and a general
explosion. A third advocates the permitting
of the Prussians to come in and then killing
them iu tho streets in anvmanne- in which
the work can be accomplished. Underneath
all this there is perceptible a deep dread of an
outbreak of the thieves and criminal classes,
and the commencement of a general system of
plunder and human slaughter. . This awe is
felt just as intensely as that 1 caused bv the ad
vance of the Prussians.
■ Parts In tne Dark.
Orders have been issued that no gas shall
be used in the city, and arrangements are
being made for illuminating Paris with the
electric light, placed at various central points
outside. The city, shops now use tallow can
dles and oil lamps, and tbe gasometers have
all been sent outside the fortifications. The
appearance of Pans without gas, and with
females acting as sergents ae ville in the
public gardens' and theatres, impresses one
lordbly towards a full appreciation of 'the
terrible change which has come over not only
Paris, but the French nation. The Rue tie
Paris is lighted dimly and the'entiro line of
the street, stripped or its hitherto glittering
gems, presents a most melancholy appearance.
Tbe court-yard of the Grand Hotel is com
pletely deserted by its visitors. There are a
number of soldiers there idling on foot, loung
ing on the chairs of the building or lying
stretched at full length on tbe doorsteps and
platform. These men smoke their tobacco
pipes everywhere.
Paris to be Defer Ucml to tbe Lost.
There were 114,000 troops in Paris this morn
i'ii'g,"under command of Gen. Palikaoi The
soldiers continue to acknowledge the demo
cratic government.
The enthusiasm of the troops in this direc
tion is stimulated by the fact that the army
has gainedsomo slight successes in the field
against the Prussians since the fall of Bona
parte. The feeling of republican nationality
which exists among the people sufiered no
abatement during the night. At noon to-day
the determination to defend the capital was as
ardent as before and increasing in the intensity
ot the popular resolution.
Minister Washburne Obtains tbe Release
of German Prisoners.
United States Minister Washtmrne had an
unofficial interview with M. Jules Favre on
Monday afternoon. The Minister solicited the
liberation of the Germans who were held in
prison under various charges connected with
the war. Jules Favre consented on the part
of the French government to their discharge,
and hundreds of emancipated Germans took
their departure from Paris yesterday. Some
hundreds more will go oft towards Germany
to-day. They have all been furnished with
safe conduct passes signed by the American
Minister.
Prussian Movements In France.
Ostbkd, Sept. B.— Advices from the German
army of ’ the Crovra Prince state that "tha :
anxiety of King Willintn to get to Paris out
runs the judgment of the German command
ers. We have information here that there is
much discontent in that city with the.present
government on the ground of its supposed
secret sympathies with the House of Orleans.
Thd Count of Flanders has 'earnestly
remonstrated with - the Orleans princes
against returning to Franco at this time, as it
is thought they may he arrested, by the govern
m®nt in obedience to the popular' feeling,
just now runs very high against princes
of all names'and families. IxfliiUe and Valen
ciennes the lower classes , are' clamoring that
no one has been punlshed for the treason of
.the imperial government to France. In the
latter city yesterday a statue of the Emperor
was dragged through the streets and hung

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1870.
English Opinions of the Republic.
London; Sept. B.—The pew Government in
France is very favorably viewed by leading
members of the English Government, and by
’men of both parties here. The nomination re
ported to-day of Louis Blanc as minister to.
this court is considered very judicious, as lie 1
is well known and esteemed here by men Of
'very various opinions, and can exert a great,
influence upon the socialist, and democratic
elements throughout England and the Conti
nent.- The sympathies of the Enghsh working
classes have quite turned from Germany
towards France since the proclamation
of the/repnblic. A great meeting of the Lon
don workingmen will be held to-morrow to
express sympathy wltli France and to con
gratulate the new Republic. At oue of the
leading political clubs yesterday a well-known
public man openly expressed the opinion that
if a war with Germany could send the House of
Coburg to reioin tbe Bonapartes at Hesse-
Cassel it.wonld be worth .ill it might cost, and
that France had won already inore tliau she
••ould possibly loose.
Ilie Republic in Ireland.
In Ireland the; feeling of sympathy with’
France is almost revolutionary, and excites
the most serious concetti on the part of the
government. -
The Republic In. Italy.
My advices from Italy continue to be most
< xciting and alarming. The Papal authorities
are drawing into close connection with the
Italian government for the protection of Rome,
even at the price of surrendering the city to
become the capital of Italy. It is not true'; as
reported yesterday, that the .Roman govern
ment is making arrests of suspected persons.
On the contrary, the administration is more
liberal than it has been since 1847. The popur
lar sympathy, with France is becoming irre
nressiblesince tbe proclamation of the repul i-’
lie, and the governments of Florence and of
Rome are forced into acquiescence with it.—
World. ' '
THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE.
Why tbe Republic was not Recognized
—l Sooner.- *
The Washington correspondence of the New
York Utrald contains the following:
I am at liberty to make public now some
facts connected withthis important step on
the part of the United States government
which before would have been deemed im
proper by the administration as tending to
embarrass the action of Minister "Washburne.
The very first day that the news flashed over
t he Atlantic cable that the Napoleonic dynasty
..had been overthrown and a republic pro
claimed President Grant instructed Secretary
Fish to direct Minister Washburne
lo recognize the new rcr/irne the
moment he found it assume the condition of a .
■ye /w to government. This policy was warmly'
approved by Mr. Fish, who lost no time in
forwarding the required despatch to Minister
Washburne. -Ever since that time an answer
from Washburne was expected hourly, and
much astonishment was expressed here at .the
delay .in receiving it. The Acting Secretary of
State anxiously waited last night tor an answer,
but-, as stated above, it did not reach here until
ihree o'clock- this morning. The explanation
is that Mi. Washburne,'finding a yery un
certain condition 'of things characterizing
ihe iirst bold step towards a republic in
France, and not,knowing.tiiitfhat a few.hours.
might develop ' another •_ important change,
waited judiciously until be found evidence of
a Arm, do facto government before commit;
ting President Grant and his administration
ui the policy of recognition. The announce
ment, which was made here, early tiffs niorn
ing, gives the highest satisfaction to all classes;
Even some of the Germans, who have been
hurrahing “ Konig Wilhelm” and “ Vat-Sr
land ” so lustily of late, have become Very
much'changed. They view the new step by
republican France with favor, and mildly ad
mit that the war has now assumed a phase
wlilch demands no longer an expression of
sympathy in favor of Prussia. '
In connection with this recognition of the*
French republic lam at liberty to state now
that on Wednesday last M. Berthemy, the
French Minister, called upon Acting Secre
tary Davis and informed him that he had that
day received a despatch from M. Jules Favre
announcing the change of government in his
native country, and insirilCtillg hiui to inform
the American government ot the fact. 51.
Berthemy then, as if he had received private
instructions from 51. Favre to sound the feel
ings of our government on the ' subject, in
quired of Mr Davis what he thought would
be the policy of the President under the
changed condition of affairs iu France? Sir.
Davis replied that he was not prepared to re
/ ply to that inquiry on behalf of the United
States government. 51. Berthemy, looking se
rious, paused a moment after this diplomatic
answer of tbe Acting Secretary of State, and
then returned to the charge. “What do you
tidnk,” said the French diplomat, ‘-‘ is tha feek.
ing of the American people?” Mr, Davis
suggested that the French slinister could
judge of that for himself. This was a
point upon which each person Of intel
ligence could form a correct opiniou. M. Ber
themy, with one of those shrugs which only a
Frenchman' can execute, paused again, and
then explained that though everybody could
lorm an opinion for himself, still he would
Ijke the views of slr.Davison the point. slr.
Davis again courteously declined answering
directly the question, but during the
' course of further conversation expressed
tbe opinion that there was a ‘ great
‘“deal of ' difference between the feelings
7«>f— - Americans --towards...-. Napoleon• ... and
their feelings towards the French people.
Americans had no cause to sympathize with
Napoleon’s government. They had no special
affection for a ruler who had played the rote
assumed by the late Emperor of France during
our recent rebellion, and who had attemnted
the subjugation of slexico', a neighboring re
public. Americans could' not forget that,
but at the same time they admired the great
French nation, and had a nat
ural sympathy for republican institu
tions wherever established. This is
probably what M. Berthemy desired to
hear from 51 r. Davis, though it only came to
him in an unofficial form. During the whole
conversation 51. Berthemy never stated or
hinted that France had requested him to re
quest the American Government to recognize
the new regime in France, and it is not be
lieved here that any such despatch was sent
here by M. Favre.
SCENES-AT LUXEMBURG.
A Cartons Contrast.
It seems strange, writes a correspondent at
Luxemburg,‘When'there is nothing but war
and rumors of war, and literally echoes of war
all round, to see men hard at work demolish
ing works of defence. Fc>r over two years the
•Luxoniburgeois have been at the tnsk, but'
now _ they seem to have a feverish burst of
energy. There is actually a force of some two
hundred men employed—no light proof of the
earnestness of this little State, where states
men split centimes and look twice at a pfen
nig before they spend it. Yet, sifter sill, the
workmen look much like maggots, breach
ing a mighty Stilton, or like a party
of tourists, struggling up the Grand Py
ramid ; and if their efforts ever. come to
the end of those stupendous stone scarps and
counterscarps they will certainly merit the
palm of perseverance, and- might point pro
verbs and furnish texts for sermons to alltimo.
Mountains have been scarped and cased in
solid stone and. Ume, walls and towers~ol
Babel have been reared and engineered, to
withstand modern artillery. There are maga
zines for food, water, powder and stores
' generally scattered all about the ravines; iiv
reality .vast and massive, hut dwarfed to
insignificance bv the towering mass of fortifi
cation around them. There are outworks
that anywhere else would rank as fortresses
of the second class, and detached forts that
might each in isolationstand a siege in force;
■ d* really seems a pity to see so much good
human work being pulled to pieces; and very
bard that tbe doing it sboulube charged on
the shoulders of this Unlucky little State. But
when tbe Franco-German fight has been
fought out they will he Sure I to take abreath,-
iDg time, or. what, amounts almost to a cer
tainty, in spite Of past treaties and guarantees
of-neutrality, -will be relieved of all responsi
bility in the matter by one of the combatants.
As yet all they have done has been to spoil
the continuity of the charming promenade,
that lisedto run round the town, and the
abstracted stranger walking with eyes
riveted on the .opposite heights, may.
chance unexpectedly to flhd himself pre
cipitated down a hundred feet of cutting.
slcantime, the development of, .destruction is
exceedingly picturesque. ■ The brown earth
t umbles o ver t he face of the artificial rock like
Swiss mountain rivulets falling off the preci
pices of Lauterbrunnen after a waterspout. It
comes in jets or bursts,according as it is tossed
from a shovel or shot out of a wheelbarrow,
and tbe display of the brown dust is just as
graceful, bamne the- effects of color, as the
showeriDg spray of the Staubbacb. Occasion
ally there comes a dirty avalanche; the roar
of it echoes among the deserted casemates,
waking painfnl recollections of the days and
guns that are gone.
A_ few dozen roughly-drilled Luxemburg
soldiers are all who remain now to protectithe,
vast entiente,' and the commandant and his dog
unbend nightly with the ministers of the state
at the Cafe Reunion. One barrack is' a straw
•hat manufactory, another dwellings for the
working classes, a third a hospital' for the
wounded from the war; The people are over
housed, and yet they seem to have hastened
to build on tbe razed fortifications, as if to
persuade themselves against hope that they
will never again have to stand a siege.”
LEDRU ROLUN.
Tbe Reported New French Minister.
Alexandre Auguste Ledru Kollin, who, ac
cording to tbe cable ..despatch of this, morn
ing, is to succeed M. Berthemy as Minister of
France to this country, was horn in- February,
1808, in Paris, where be studied-law, and was
admitted to the bar in 1830, Boon after this,
and during the troublous times' which fol
lowed the revolution of 18.30, he became pro
minent as a political. writer. In'. 1837 he a£
sumed the editorship of a legal journal called
the Journal du Palais, and during the. next few
years wrote several works on French juris-,
prudence.
H e practically entered political life in 1811,
when ho was elected deputy from the depart
ment of Sartlie. While in office he gave utter
ance to republican sentiments, for which the
government'entered a prosecution sentencing
him to four months’ imprisonment and a fine
of three thousand francs. In 1845 he issned a
socialistic manifesto which attracted; much at
tention ; and by his speeches and writings did
much to bring about , the revolution of 1848,
becoming in time its acknowledged leader. His
•influence prevented the regency of the
Duchess of Orleans : and induced Lamartine to
join tbe revolutionary movement. «
Elected by acclamation a member of the
provisional government, he was prominent in
its affairs—one day admired and tbe next day
abused by the populace—until the election-;
which resulted in the elevation of Louis Na
poleon to the Presidency. Kollin was an op
posing candidate-to rtbe-Bonaparte;bnt the
latter received over five millions of votes,
while Kollin received onlv 370,11 ff. General
Cavaignac was also a. candidate for the Presi
dency at this time, obtaining 500,000 votes.
Kollin was Strongly opposed to the “ expedi
tion” by which in 184!) the republican govern
ment of France suppressed tbe republican gov
ernment of Rome. He moved for the impeach
ment of the President and his Caoinet. He
next organized an insurrection, which failed, 1
and after hiding several weeks in tbe vicinity
of Paris, he escaped to Belgium. Thence go
ing to England be directed a solemn protest
against the decree summoning him before the
High. Cotirt of Justice.
His French judges sentenced him to trans
portation for life, renewing the decree in 1857,
when he was charged with beingimplicatedin
a plot against the life of the Emperor, Napo
leon 111. Of course, as Kollin was safe in
England, this double sentence was never ex
ecuted. He has lived for the last eighteen
years in London, writing political pamphlets,
corresponding with leading revolutionists,like
Kossuth, Mazzini and Garibaldi, andawaiting
tbe fall of the French empire. When Napo
leon HI. lately proclaimed amnesty to politi
cal offenders, Kollin, like Victor Hugo,refused
to avail himself of the privilege.
IHE CAPTIVE EMPEROR’S HOME.
SUeteh of Wllhelmshoehe near Cassel.
The Castle of Wilhelmshoehe, near Cassel,
m the former Electorate of Hessen, is one of
t he tinest mansions ■ in' Europe. It was built
up about 1788, Dy the'ElectorWilliam’,at a cost of
tomteen million of thalers; which he received
from England for the thousands and thousands
of his subjects that were sent by England to
right against her ' then colonies in North
America. Elector ' "William died here, but
very few of bis successors had the
same fate. His " son and heir was
driven away from Cassel by Napoleon
1.. who appointed Cassel the capital of the
-Westphalian kingdom, whicb. be gave to his
younger brother, Jerome Napoleon, lather of
the Prince Napoleon and Princess Mathilde.
During the reign of King Jerome the Wil
helmshoehe saw such shameful orgies going
on that they cannot be described. King Je
rome of Westphalia is the same known in
America in connection with the Patterson
affair. When in 1813 the Westphalian king
dom crumbled down in consequence of the
German uprising, King Jerome was one
of the first that reached and crossed the Rhine
and made room for the grandson of Elec
tor William. This grandson was left in peace
until bo died, : but his son was compelled to
leave his country m 1848, and once more in
1888. It was in the large round saloon in the
middle tower of the Wilhelmshoehe, which
will be remembered by many of our readers,
that the Prussian General Boeder announced
to the Elector that he would be considered as
a prisoner of State by Prussia. The present
Elector, living actually on one of bis estates in
Bohemia, refused to' avail,-himself of the few
hours’ respite the . Prussian General bad
granted him, and "Was subsequently taken
prisoner and conducted to Stettin, which place
he soon left to repair to Bohemia, where he
possesses largeiestates, iron works, &c..
paving shortly sketched the history of Wil
helnishoehe, we now proceed to give a little
description of the place itself. It is situated on
the top of d hill, commanding a beautiful view
of the country all round.' The hill is covered
with splendid old trees, which make the forest
one or the finest parks in Europe. We can only
compare it with the Park of Versailles; with
which it has another thing in common, viz.,
beautiful water-worlcs. The castle is at a
distance' of about three miles from Cassel,
the former capital of the Electorate. The
road from Cassel - to this castle is level, and
leads through . magnificent poplar, alleys.
Shortly before'arriving at tbe castle these
poplars asoend a hill, and from the brow of
this hill-Wilhelmshdehe can be seen at a short
distance. It la, built up of white sandstone,
which makes it look as if it were white mar
ble. It consists of a large tower in the mid
dle, flanked l on each side by a massive "plain
building., The cupola Of the tower, oovered
with hi igbt coppev plates, is supported bv two
i ranees of Doric columns. Right at the foot
•of tne tower a large flight of steps leads di
ireefly into the garden, laid out in tho most
picturesque -• manner. .This palace has not
[been usedsince 1868, as the Prussian govern
ment allowed only one old servant to remain
‘tbere and keep everything in order.
TERRIBLE CALAMITY
A Bridge at Tom’s River, N. J„ Gives
Way—Thirty Persona Precipitated
Into the Water—Eight Dead
Bodies Recovered—Sev
eral Persons Still
Missing.
The quiet village of Tom’s River’, which’ is
on the railroad below Long, Branch, was star
tled, as it never was, before, yesterday morn
ing, by an accident that resulted in the drown
ing of at least eight persons. Tom’s River is
a viliage of. about twenty-five hundred inhabi
tants,'situated upon tbe banks of the river of
that name, about six miles from its mouth. It
has become of late quite a summer resort, and
a large hotel has been built, there. It is also
much frequented by the people of the neigh
borhood for picnicking purposes. The depot
of the Southern New Jersey Railroad
is on the opposite side of the river, and is
connected with the village by two bridges—
one a wagon bridge and the- other a foot
bridge, on trestles, about fifteen feet apart,
This structure was attached to the depot side
of the river by wood or iron pins. It is about
sixty feet long, and the water beneath it is at.
least ten feet deep. The bridge has been built
abont one year, and its safety apparently has
never been doubted. Yesterday morning, at
8.30 o’clock, some five hundred men, women
and children, connected with the Centenary
Methodist Episcopal Church,of Long Branch,
started on tbe cars for a picnic and clam-bake
at Tom’s River. On their arrival at the depot
they began to saunter leisurely across the
bridge in groups.
The Bridge Gives Way.
When but few had actually got over, and
some sixty were upon the treacherous support,
the pins onthe depot side suddenly gave way,
and.the whole affair, with its living freight,
swung over towards the village. The loosened
eDd sank beneath the water, while the other
remained fast. If both ends bad given way
the slaughter would have been frightful, for—
(the inhabitants of the place say for the first
time in their knowledge)—there were no boats
near. The inclined plane which the floor ot'
the bridge made lay at.Buch an angle that about_
half the endangered people were enabled to
clamber up on the village side. They scrambled
tip on their hands and knees—an indescriba
bly confused and terrified mass of humanity
some looking out for themselves, Q without
much regard to others, some, pushings down.
towards the water to rescue the less helpfuL ...
Straggling for Life.
Meanwhile thirty persons were struggling
in the. water, clutching at each other and at, 1
the fragments of the were even
under tbe bridge. Those of the multitude who
were on the depot side could only stand there
in painful helplessness ; those on the other
side managed u> save all hat. eight persons,,
as far as known, though it was suspected
that X , .
Some/were Missing
from tbe part j v>tvho came from Eatonviile, a
town a mile atiil a half from Lonq Rraneh-
This surmise arose from tbe fact that in the .
confusion of the return homeward some one
noticed Eatonviile people weeping, and heard
one sav: “ Oh, if we but knew where they
wtre.”
Eight Dead Bodies Recovered.
Only eight dead bodies were recovered,how
ever, and these were all from Long Branch.
When it was observed that some of the unfor
tunates were under tbe beams of the bridge,the
people on the village side cut it away with
such tools as could be procured, and let it drop
in the water. Descending upon it then, they
pulled out witb oyster-dredges both living and
dead lying beneath it.
Acts of Heroism.
As is usual in such cases, there were strik
ing instances of heroism. Peter Howlaud, a
carpenter, had already saved his nephew, a
hoy of 11, named Wortbly, when he saw Miss
E. Styles struggling in the water. At once,
blind to all other sights, heedless of the almost
certain death from desperate clutching hands
that awaited him if be plunged amid that mass
of frantic humanity, he dashed into the water.
The sight of her there, gasping for breath,
was unendurable ; for she was his heart’s
delight—she wore his ring upon her hand—he
had been but yesterday looking at her wed
ding garment, in which she was so, soon to
stand up proudly by his side. “ They were
beautiful in their lives,- and in death -not'' di
vided;” for he had seized and was bearing her
safely to the shore, when Mrs. Sidney Throck
morton, in her despairing agony, seized him
by the arm, and so hampered him that all
three sank together, although he was an excel
lent swimmer. Their bodies were subse
quently recovered.
lU* Work of Resnscttatton.
Probably not more than a quarter of those
who fell into the water were. men; the rest
were women, boys, and girls. Many of those
who were rescued bad to be rubbed and treated
iu the ways usually adopted in cases of drown
ing before they recovered their breath. One
girl of fourteen, who was raked up,from the
• bottom of the river, was consldered quite dead,-
hut careful treatment finally resuscitated her.
Fortunately there were two physicians in the
party, and others in the village hastened to the
scene of the disaster. Indeed, it may be said
the whole village was there," each lending a
helping hand. The sufferers were mostly
carried to the hotels until able to go to the
cars. Then at 1.30 the sad party returned with
their dead.
Tbe Dead.
The following are tbe names of the victims;
Mrs. Sidney Throckmorton, aged about 45;
her husband is a farmer. Peter Howland,car
penter, aged 22; slary E. Styles, aged 19; Ma
ria slartin, aged 15; James slartin, Alfavata
slartin, Helen Lane, aged 11, and Ella slafie,
aged 12. Never before had Long Branch
known such a day of mourning. The friends
of the deceased will present a sad contrast to
the long list of its summer festivities.— World.
