/ TRAGEDY IN THE GOAL REGIONS
Harder by a miner.
The Pottsville Hinas' Journal of yesterday
says: ’ ~ - ■
Between four and five o’clock on Monday
evening a shooting affray occurred at Wiest's
tavern, on Broad Mountain, Porter township,
about five miles from Tremont, in which a
young Irishman, named James ICane, was
shot twice by an Irishman, named Michael
Purcell, the particulars of which are related
to us as follows :
During the earlier part of Monday a party
of miners and another party of men engaged
at work on the extension of the Lorberry
Railroad, employed by Messrs. McGrant &
Fitzpatrick, contractors, all of whom had
been paid oft' on Saturday previous,
met .at Wiest's tavern, where they
mingled together' during the day,
drinking and enjoying themselves as best they
could; During the afternoon, lvane got into
difficulty, with two or three of the miners,
when hard words were exchanged and a fight
appeared-imminent. At this juncture Kane’s
friends remonstrated with him against raising
a fight, and prevailed Upon him to leave the
house and let the matter.drop. Kane left the
house with his friends; and had not proceeded
far down the road before Purcell, as a friend
of the parties with whom Kane had had the
altercation, came out of the house and fired
two shots from a revolver at him, both of
which took effect—one in the abdomen and
the other in the arm—from the effects of
which he died at 8 o’clock on the following
morning, notwithstanding Dr. Brandt, of Tre
mont, was summoned immediately and ren
dered every possible medical aid.-
On Tuesday morning a warrant was issued
by Esquire Bechtel,and placed in the hands of
Constable David Rank,for Purcell’s arrest. As
the constable neared the house Purcell discov
ered him afid immediately ran out and escaped
into the woods;. Constable Rank went-into
the house and assured Purcell’s wife that he
did not wish to arrest her husband, but that
he merely had a summons for him to ap
pear as a witness in tho case, and that as
soon as he returned she should tell him to
appear at the Justice’s office. Doubtless;
seeing the constable leave the house JP'ur
cell returned, and after, hearing what ; .was
■wanted,- the husband and wife' immedi
ately started for the office, at which place liq„

Progress and Character of the Negotia

[ByCablo.J— —-
London, Sept. 22.—1 am enabled by special
authority to communicate to yon the follow-.
ing details of the meeting between M. Jutes
h'avre and Count Bismarck at Ferrieres.sent
forward by permission of the Prussian Go
vernment from Meaux. M- Jules. Favro
reached the chateau of Ferrieres in a' pbst
chaise from Means, escorted by Prussian
, cavalry.
He Was Received
with great courtesy by Count von Bismarck,
the King being absent at Versailles, and al
most the first words of the Prussian Premier
were to assure M. Favre that he would have
been received with the greatest pleasure- at
any time since the proclamation of the repub--
lie, and that it was quite unnecessary to have
sought the interview through the interposition
of any other power. Count von Bis
marck then went on to say that
Germany had not the slightest wish,
certainly he knew the King had not the
slightest wish, to humiliate France by the
forcible annexation of Alsace-and-Lorraine-as
ifnnquered provinces. Language looking to
such a result could only be useuLandhad only
been used by excited and irresponsible per
sons in Germany, who’ would not have the
least influence in deciding the action of the
King’s government. JBut, said. Count von
Bismarck, it is clearthat Germany has. a right,
to expect, as an essential condition of peace,
some material guarantee against— future.
attacks. To this M. Fayre replied
"that he could not think any muleriafgnarantee
against such attacks, at All comparable to the
moral guarantees of an honorable peace and
friendly relations between the :two peoples,
..and he reminded Count von Bismarck that he
and the party which he represented had al
ways opposed the war.- Count von Bismarck
replied that be, on his part, had not less earn
estly opposed it; that he regarded it with
horror and distress, and would gladly see a
stop pnt to its calaimfies-at the. earliest mo
ment possible. He tasked, however, whether
M. Favre and the,provisional government
could bind,
The Constituent Assembly
To ratify a treaty should a treaty now be made.
M. Favre replied that-certainly he could not
undertake to do this; but he added that, as
the provisional government was now recog
nized throughout France, that government
could put Prussia in possession of such mate
rial guarantees as would make it certain that
»he could lose nothing by the effort after
peace, even should the Constituent. Assembly
reject such a treaty as might now be pro
posed. ’
Count Bismarck thereupon said that M.
Fuvre, he was sure, would understand the
importance of giving the Prussian Govern
ment proofs of nis ability to put it in posses
sion 01 such material guarantees. M. Favre
replied that the proofs would be forthcoming
as soon as the terms of a treaty could be
agreed upon. Count von Bismarck then
asked, by way of illustration merely,
whether M. Favre was sure that
the commanders at Strasbourg and at Metz
would obey any orders which-the Provisional
Government might give them. To which M.
Favre made answer .that most certainly he
was sure of this. Count yon Bismarck then
asked whether the day.for the election of the
Constituent Assembly had been fixed as he
had understood, and, M; Favre replying' that
it had been, the conversation ended. -
' IVhat Is Thought In London.
At the Foreign Office here it ia believed that
the /negotiations begun as above'related will
terminate in the consent of France to, a tempo
rary occupation of Alsace-and Lorraine,, Prus
sia being put in possession of Metz and Stras
bourg until a definite treaty of peace can be
made with an established French government.
It is not thought Prussia will press any de
mand for the permanent annexation of these
provinces, nor is it believed that any armistice
will be declared before the conclusion of a
provisional treaty of peace.
On the other hand, the opinion of the diplo
matic corps and the higher class of . merchants
and financiers is that these negotiations are
wholly delusive, and will come to nothing un
less through the.pressure exerted to precipi
tate a result bv the government of the Czar.
The city articles of the Morning Post and Tele
ijrajih newspapers will to-morrow record a less
hopeful feeling in the city in consequence of
the delay in settling the preliminaries of peace
negotiations, and of the growing distrust of
these negotiations. The tone of the Ex
change and the markets is dull, and invest
ments in foreign securities are once more fall
ing oft'.— World.
From the Cabinet to tbe Camp.
Ostend, Sept. 22.—Despatches from tho
German camp Defore Paris state that the new
French troops behaved badly in the recent en
gagements; that there is great confusion
and little discipline in Paris, men shoot
ing their officers, and bands of social
ists denouncing the provisional govern
ment. l r The same despatches announce the
capture of two thousand Gardes Mobiles at
Versailles, and the occupation of Sevres by a
Prussian garrison. It is reported from Namur
that the locks on the canal of the Marne have
been repaired, and that the Prussians com
pelled four thousand of their prisoners to la
bor on the restoration. This conduct is most
unfavorably view- >! irt Belgium, and tends to,
accellerate the current of ill-feeling here
against Prussia. ,
Appeal .of,. tbe Crown Prince ;br Prussia.
: Your special from Hanover sends me an ap
peal just issued iu the name of the Crown
Prince of Prussia to Germany for aid to the
wounded. The Crown Prince says: “Intho
battle-fields of France,Germany has awakened
to the pfOud consciousness of her unity and
of her might. This great gain will, I trust,,
iorovov exert its influence in . cement
ing our country together. But our enthu
siastic exultation must be. alloyed* with
deep sorrow and mourning. The flower of the
youth of Germany have fallen' for the father
land. * Many heroic leadersof our armies have
bought victory with their' precious blood. The
heart shrinks from estimating tho still greater
number of- those who have bee*'deprived
henceforth of the ability to earn a livelihood.”
The Crown Prince concludes with an earnest
appeal to all Germany to come forward and
contribute largely, abundantly to this sacred
work.— World.

Tbeßealltlea of a Prussian Investment.—
External Danger and Internal Alarm
—The “Ronebs” in a Saturnalia—Po
litical Division—Gloom. Donbt and
Darkness. . >:
Paris, Bept. 21.—T0 those who are here
anxious to correspond with their friends in
the outside world, notwithstanding the fact of
their hourly anticipation of tne news of
a complete investment of the city
during such .a lengthened period,
the realization of the actual fact of the
complete isolation - of- the capital—just -now -
really falls like an unexpected blow on the
inhabitants. It leaves the people stunned and
stupefied by a sense of feeling almost akin to,
that which one experiences on receiving the
intelligence of the death of a very dear friend
whose long sickness had already compelled
the conviction of a fatal termination of the
disease, but whose loss, when it does come,
really and unequivocally, seems, after all, like
asucldcn and unforeseen.calamity. -- ' ■
The fact that the Parisians had until the
very latest moment persuaded themselves into
the belief that some interposition—they even
spoke of a miraculous interference In their be
half i b some points—would stay the' progress
of the German armies rendered them unwil
ling to believe in the possibility of a siege' of
the city. The appearance of the grim soldiers
of Prussia with their spiked helmets, and in
steady'array, outside of the: fortifications. dis
pelled both tliodiope aud beliof. The people
of Paris saw how the foreign army pressed on
steadily. They could perceive the dark masses
of the Prussian infantry and the whirling light
clouds of the foreign cavalry flying to sur
round the place, and destroying its commdni
cations with the outside world in every di
rection.
The grips of the iron bonds wore drawn
closer till Paris found that; she - could scarcely
breathe. She experienced a sense of 'civic and
municipal suffocation. In such condition
does the city now remain.
A East Hope.
Paris entertains a hope, notwithstanding.
Even now the city aspirates that M. Jules
Favre.wili.succeedin winning'terms of peace
with Bismarck. This hopeful feeling animates
the hearts of many of tne citizens and comes
to numbers of the-middle classes as a sole ray
of consolation amid the general, gloom which
surrounds them.
The people of the higher ranks, those who
are well informed as to the tendency and cur
rent of jifublic events, entertain but little ex
pectation of a settlement with Prussia before
Paris;has experienced still further .suffering,
until she has felt what I may term, additional
horrors. „ • -
Extremist violence, Outrage and the
-“Houghs.” "
Unhappily for the prospects of speedy relief
the German statement that the provisional
-governmentuf-Franceoannotspeab-authorito—
tivelytor the French nation to Germany re
ceives confirmation in the action of the repub
lican extremists, even in this, hour of trial,
•when both ■> citizen and political unity are
alike indispensable'.
During Saturday and on Sunday we wit
nessed soihe very disgraceful public demon
strations, which were , made almost simulta
neously in.several portions of the city, in con
sequence of an announcement to the effect
that the “ Beds” demanded the immediate
creation of committees of defence to be
chosen by the people in the several arrondisse
rnents, and required a general collection and
equal division of .the supplies, both of food,
and ammunition:
Noisy and dangerous crowds, which were
moved in this direction, assembled indifferent
quarters of the city, uttering counter revolu
tionary cries. Very many “roughs,” armed in
some instances with fire-arms,hut mostly with
other weapons of violence, were out and
committed many outrages. In one case a store
was broken into,-and'tbe house in which it was
situated pillaged. A large quantity of provi
sions were seized on the pretence that the men
were acting under authority of the Committee
of Defence.
A great degree of terror prevailedamong the
members of the better classes of the population
during Sunday night. —He raid.
[ANOTHER DESPATCH,. |
Aspect of tbe Streets.
The aspect of the streets changes wonder
fully from day to day; fewer people are in
them ; more shops are closed, more soldiers
are out and fewer women. People grow
solemn—a strange thing for Paris. At 10 P. M.
the cafes are rigorously closed-another strange
thing—and by 11 the boulevards are deserted.
Ambulances with wounded soldiers are con
tinually .passing,: and we hear grim rumors of
houses and whole streets being mined, ready
to send assailing Prussians into ,the air. Car
riages passing the line of the fortifications are
forbidden to go oft a walk for fear of occa
sioning explosions.
Protection for Foreigners. '
Yesterday morning the most curious sign of
the siege was the number of foreign flags fly
ing about Paris, 1 went to the English Em
bassy ; there was the Union Jack flying over
the gateway in the Faubourg St. Honors; and
that there might be no mistake, a great black
board was.put up to inform the public
that “This is the English Embassy;.’
also a similar board on the garden ..side facing
the Champs EJysees. Ana similarly all the
foreign embassies have their flags flying.
Every foreign resident in Paris hangs out the
flag of his nation. The number of nags with
stars and stripes that meet one in every street
gives a vivid idea of the regard in which the
French capital is held by Americans.
T lie English flags are much fewer. It is
supposed that all houses covered with such
(lags will be respected by both belligerents.
The red cross flags of the Society for the
Wounded are also very frequent. If any one
sets up a private ambulance in his house—that
is, allots one or two beds to the wounded—he
may hang out the red cross flag. Among all
the flags the Amei'ican is the favorite ; and
Mi\ Washburns is, perhaps, the most popular
man in Paris.
Unsuccessful Attempts to Burn the
Woods.
Desperate attempts were made, neverthe
less, to burn the woods, but so much rain had
recently fallen and the trees were still so
green and full of sap that no quantity of
petroleum would coax them to blaze and con
sume. They gave out, plenty of smoke, which
drifted over nbnudantly into the city when
the wind blew from the southwest; but there
was. no , conflagration. I went up on the
heights of Montmartre to see it, but nothing
could be discovered beyond the blazing, barns
and hayricks, Set on lire to prevent them from
fajling into thp hands of, the Prussians. -,
Here then thfi Woods,remain, and: here too 7
are the Prussians, in them- Here the •enemy
have concealed themselves in tho daytime,
and hence they have emerged at night and
early dawn—resting 12 hours or more, then
making forced marches of two or threo days,
always methodically but resolutely. All those
clusters of trees which form tho woods and
copses called after Notre Dame and Saint
Martin, Gros fiois: all that romains of tho
once vast Forest of Bondy have been thus oc
cupied by Prussians. They advanced along
the Orleans road-tot-Savigny, where they cut
the lines.-> They_found the ford between Ablon
and Atlfls, and, os the Seine is now low, they
soon crossed it, with water up to their waists.
Immediately they proceeded to construed a
pontoon bridge at Juvisy, where the railway
branches oft toward Chatillon-le-Eetit and
Vi try. By this movement they avoided the
bridge at Joinvillede-Pont, which had been
blown up at the approach of their Uhlaiis.
From this point they rapidly gained the
Bois de Ferrieres and Meudon, anu presently
Versailles—wherein the old , palace of the
Kings of France, in the ancient “ hunting
box” of Louis XIII. messieurs the Uhlans
rested their weary limbs on Sunday night. No
time has been lost by them in getting to work.

Pabis, Sept. 9. —The recognition of the
French Bepublic by the American Govern
ment led to an imposing demonstration yester
day. "When, the crowd arrived, in front of the
Legation several of its members were chosen
to convey to Mr. Washbtirno the expressions
of its sentiments. Mr. 'Washbtcme listened
with much emotion-to the following address
delivered by M. Luclen:

The Minister then appeared at the balcorly,
and said: “I am moved by this demonstra

received with joy the advent of the . French
Bepublic. I will convey the thanks you have
given me to my Government, which I know
will be much pleased with this patriotic
manifestation.”

"With.hands clasped and eyes raised to heaven,
her first words were :

“ Madame, the Prince Imperial was at
Maubouge, and must be quite safe in Bel

“ Poor France, pbor France!” she then re
peated several times. “And the Emperor,”
she said innocently, “they will not, surely, in
sult or iil treat him ?”
“Madame,” replied M.Ghevreau, “It is a
palace prison of gold and velvet, and anxious
sympathy, which ever await such a prisoner
as his Majesty.”
“And MaeJlahon?”
“ The Marshal is very badly wounded,
please your Majesty.”
“ Ah! I fear me the gallant duke has sought
death, .and has found It.”

“ 1 think your Majesty must make up your

THE PBINCE IMPERIAL.
Hls Highness as au K.vi»o --Tllc Voyage
to England.
ll.ondun (Sept, -8) Correspondence of the Mancliester
Guardian.]
Some further details concerning the unfor
tunate lad, but a little while ago the heir of a
proud and mighty empire, will perhaps not be
unacceptable to your readers. The Prince Im
perial had been staying the night from the Oth
to the.oth.at Ostend.. The boat he was-leaving
by was the ordinary Belgium mail steamer,
awaiting the arrival of themorning train from
Brussels, and it was thus that his late Imperial
Highness and your correspondent happened
to meet on‘the same deck The Prince cried a
little on coming on board—l think he must
have believed he was only then leaving Prance
—but was quite bright before the boat left her
moorings.
I had got into conversation with some of the
suite, and, noticing the Prince peering hard
at the receding shore, I offered him, through
bis governor, my field glass. He bowed very
graciously his acknowledgments to me, and
by-and-by he came over to where I stood and
entered lnto conversation. His talk was just
like that of any lad of his ago of .fair ability
and good education. His manners are in the
'highest degree those of a thorough and
unaffected gentleman. Count somebody
—T forget the name, although he intro
duced himself—came over to join
In, and, as it afterwards appeared, watch over
our conversation. He afterwards exoused
himself for his intrusion. The poor Prince did
not yet “know that the Emperor was a
prisoner,”(!) and his attendants feared that I
might.aliude to it accidentally. One cannot
help thinking rather bitterly of the system of
untruth and temporizing adopted in all the
relations of the late Pro neb empire. Prom
what I have seen of the boy, ho would have
stood the truth quite as well as theuncertatnty
he must have felt concerning the fate of his
father.
Another incident of my conversation with
the Prince’s suite I must not forget to men
tion. Several of the gentlemen asked me,
“ Did I think the English would receive them
well?” “Though not an Englishman,” I an
swered proudly (for I have lived sufficiently
long among you that such, a doubt should
sting even me to the quick), “ England always
has received and always will receive the
stranger and the unhappy refugee with
sentiments of kindness and respect,
and you will fhid That. wherevov lie
mavgo.in these islands your young charge
will meet with the treatment dpo.to hijHinfQft
tunate position.” 1 The sallow faces of the
Frenchmen brightened,and they squeezed my
hand for the comfort I had givon thorn. I will
here observe that I was the only person on
board, out of the suite, to whom tlioPrineo.
was allowed to speak, probably on account of
what I haye.referred to above, as to his ignoiv

IHE TREASURES OF STKASBOI'Ke.-,
Valuable Works in the Library..,
The news that the library of Strasbourg has-,
been laid in ruins by the German bombardments
has naturally caused a painful sensation, espe-'
eially among lovers of bibiography.. When
we consider that printing was probably invent- -
ted—though not first practiced—at Strasbourg, '
and that the library was one of the oldest m ,
France, we may understand the anxiety of tho,
literary world as to the amount of damage-,
really, done. It may, however, alleviate tins:
uneasiness somewhat to know that, notwith
standing the advantages which , the 'city
might have been expected to derive from
its connection with the first 1 printers, the IB
brary contained, with one remarkable ex
ception, few valuable bookß. That excep
tion was a small folio volume in which the de
positions in the famous lawsuits between Faust-.'
and Guttenberg were written by what . was
said to be a contemporary’ hand. This is'open 1
to doubt, but the volume was—may we not say .
is?—of the greatest interest, as ’ one 'of the-.'
most trustworthy sources from which • the ;
prevalent opinions as to the origih of printing*
are derived. Among the early specimens of
typography there was a copy of the first Ger
man Bible, printed by Mente- ,
lin about Hiiti, but undated;.,
also three early Latin Bibles by Mentelin,.'
Jenson and Eggestein, the last bearing the .
manuscript date 1408, There was,-besides af
rare copy of Virgil by Mentelin, a still rarer-
Commentary of Servius upon thatpeet.printod..-
by tbe celebrated . Valdarfor; a Jcrome’».
“ Epistles,” by Schoifler, 1470 ; > and about,
4,000 other books printed before the beginning.,
of the sixteenth century. There were only ,
two or three illuminated MSS. of any great
value. We trust, therefore, that the rarest'
volumes were placed in safety before this tin* -
happy event, and that at least the little folio;
manuscript which has so long been .the chief
bibliographical treasure of Strasbourg, has ,
been preserved.

The Cologne Gazette publishe§jpnie curious"
statistics ■ snowing the lasses in dead,-and
wounded in the battles of 1813 and 1814,;from
which it appears that war was quite as de- •
structive then as it-is now. At the balstle; of
Liitzeu (May 2,1813),in which 90,000 Russians .
and Prussians, with 524 guns, were engaged
with 120,000 Frenchmen with 250 guns, the
allies lost 10,000 men, and the French 15,000. -
At the ‘ battle of Bautzen (May 20,
1813), 96,000 Russians and Prussians
fought against 130,000 Franchmen.
The losses were 18,000 men (Including 0,000
killed) on the side of the allies, and 3,000 dead
and 17,000 wotmded on the side of tho French,
who were the victors. In tho battle of
Dresden (August 20tli ami 27th, 1813) there
were 200,000 Austrians, Russians, and Prua
sians against 100,000 Frenchmen. The alliea
lost on this occasion 15,000 dead and wounded,
and 23,000 prisoners. In the .battle of Lelpsic
-30&,000 allies, with 1,384 guns, fought agaipst-
Napoleon with 171,000 men and 700 guns. 0a ,
the first day of tho battle (October 10, 1813),.
the regiments engaged lost upwards.,
of one-half of their men. The 7th land
wehr regiment of Silesia wC3 reduced) from.
1,800 to 100 men; and on the three foSowing
days the allied army lost 45,000 men. The
losses of the French were 15,000 dead, and' .
15,000 wounded. Summing up the losses of
the whole campaign, we find that Napoleon,,
lost in Russia 500,000 men; in Germany, up to,
flu! armistice of the 4th of June, 1813, about
lo.iim) meu ; in tbo battles which ended .with
Leipsic, 150.000 men ; and 100,000 in the cam
paign of 1814, which, with the losses of. 1810,
makes a total loss of nearly a' million of men
before Napoleon was subdued.?. The losses of '.
the allies during fha same: period were only
100,000 .men less.
