v y "S DREADFUL DISASTER. Collapso of a Bridgo Ovor tho Lick ing Rivor. Forty-ilvo Workmen Curried Down AVIth- out WnniliiB Nearly All Kniod "tho Two Coutriietori Among the Victim. Cincinnati, June 10. A bridgo In cottr&o of construction over the Licking river between Covington anil Newport, Ky., fell this morning, unil of forty-live workmen on tho structure, so fur us is now known only two escaped unhurt. The high river had washed out tho earth about tho supports of tho false work, and it is said one of the contract ors said a day or two ago that ho was t if raid tho structure would not stand under tho weight of tho heavy material. IJut still they kept at work. A force of forty-three ineu un der the direction of Robert and William laird, the contractors, was engaged in putting in place the heavy iron work on the main span. Suddenly, without warning, there -win u crnoldlng sound, a swaying of the structure and a head long plunge of tho whole mass of tim bers, iron and workmen into the river ilfty fiAil below. Fow forms wero to be seen struggling on tho surface, tho others were drowned or crushed by tho material. Those who came out of tho wreck un injured, as nearly as could bo learned, were as follows: Murray Ilairden and James Caldwell. Others went to their homes and could not be traced. While most of tho workmen wero from abroad, there were enough from tho vicinity to mako the scenes on shore of the most sickening character. Tear ful women were to be seen eagerly peer ing into, the countenances of the recov ered bodies as they were borne to the shore, and every now and then a pitiful wail of anguish told that some friend or relative had been recognized. It was slow work to get the bodies from the wreck. Among tho dead were the two con tractors, the l.aird brothers of Pitts burgh, who were on tho bridge with their men superintending tho work at the fatal moment. Though ib is said that one of them had spoken of fear concerning the safety of the supporter, it appeared by their act yesterday in going with their men that they had no such fear as would keep them from sharing with their men the danger. The body of one was among the first recovered and the other lies buried in the river beneath the ruins of his own work. The span between the two piers looks to be .10 feet. The height of the truss which was to form the bridge span be tween these two piers was sixty-fivo feet above water. False work in piling unil timber had been constructed in tho river. On the top of this false work the construction of the iron truss began ex actly midway between the two piers nnd the work was pushed from the mid dle both ways. Five bents or sections of the ponderous iron work had been constructed. Each bent or section was thirty feet long, making nearly half the span. On the top of this was an ap paratus known to bridgemen as the traveler, which is used to extend tho structure from the ends. A TORNADO IN MAINE. night Lives Lost ly tint Sinking of u Vnoht. IIanoou, Me., June 10. What ap pears to have been n. repetition of tho Chicago tornado parsed over the south ern end of this city late yesterday, crossed over the river and went through the city of IJrower. It tore oil' half a mile of race course fence, destroyed and moved buildings, leveled horse sheds and did other damage. On the river was the steam launch Annie, which plied between Ihmgor and Hampden. It had just left tho docks with twenty passengers. Uain was falling and the canvassed hides were buttoned down. The wind tore these in and the boat was over turned and sunk. On the opposite sido of the river lay the four-masted schoon er Maria O. Teal of JSoston. Mate Nor man McLoud lowered away his boatand with four out of the eiew rescued six men and three women, while three others swam ashore. The body of Miss Ilnttie Adams daughter of James Adams, a rich lumberman, has been re covered. Seven bodies are missing. .Seventh Kmisiix ItepulillemiH. TCinciman, Kan., Juno 10.

Fiiir.ADi:r.i,iiiAl Juno 17. Tho year of missionary work for tho neglected children of our country, in tho Amer ican Sunday school union, which closed March 1, 1803, was very fruitful in bles sing. Sixteen hundred and sixty-four new Sunday schools were organized in places that wore previously entirely destitute of roligiou? privileges, con taining 7,018 teachers and 59,551 schol ars. Aid was givon to 2,127 other schools, with 14, .103 teachers and 135, 29!) scholars; while, in addition to this, 4,58(1 schools that had been before re ported were aided, with 25,790 teachers and 299,200 scholars. Huskies all this direct Sunday school work, the mis sionaries of the society distributed by sale and gift (1.45S Ilibles and 9,115 Tes taments. They made 50,582 visits to families for religious conversation and prayer, and delivered 12,474 sermons and addresses. Sixty-six hundred and seventy-eight conversions were reported tis resulting from tho evangelistic la bors of these earnest and faithful men; and 210 churches have been developed from the Sunday schools established by them, while regular preaching services have been secured in many other places as an outgrowth of this Sunday school work. It is utterly impossible to esti mate the far-reaching and beneficent results of such a missionary work as this, and till accomplished iu one year. FATHER MOLLINGER DEAD. Tlio JJciiowncil I'nltli Corn Priest I'usscd Awny-Skfteli er Ills l.llo. PiTTsmntoii, Pa., June 10. Father Mollinger, the renowned faith euro priest.dicd yesterday. He was pros trated Tuesday (St. Anthony's day) and yesterday an operation was per formed for rupture of the stomach but it was useless. Father Mollinger was born of Dutch parents, from whom he inherited con siderable wealth. He only recently at tained his 01st birthday. The littla church in which he had labored for j'ears is known us tho Church of tho Most Holy name of Jesus, and is situ ated at Troy hill, not far from tho heart of Pittsburgh. Father Mollinger years ago obtained the name of being a miracle worker. Miraculous cures were credited to him and thousands Hocked to his littlo church to receive his blessing, although he never claimed to 1k n, miracle mon ger. The feast of St. Anthony of Padau hud long been thu day which the priest physician set apart for the reception of his patients from all over the country. Mt. Vesuvius Very Actlvn. Xait.ks, June 18. The volcanic energy of Mt. Vesuvius shows no sign of abate ment. A most magnificent sight is presented in the valley between tho two summits. Here tho lava ejected has formed au iinmenso bridge across the valley and it is constantly gaining fresh accessions. The lava glows with a white heat and tit night the bridge is magnificently beautiful. The center of the principal era tor shows increased activity and huge masses of lava are frequently ejected. MamMIMIliU ill IMAHMVIVMIMHM WHO WERE "THE HESSIANS?" Roino Light on the Sulrct from Uto Pages of History. Tho term "Hessians," ns generally used in this country, wlis ilrst intended to signify a menu-spirited man who for inoney hires himself to do tho dirty work of another and his lighting. Tho word with these meanings was never recognized until after tlio defeat of Ilurgoync, nnd the peculiar infamy which attached to it is derived from tho supposed voluntary employment of tho Hessian soldiery by Great ltrlUiin against the Americans. That there was no such voluntary employment is historically true, nnd tho reproach which has lcen so long con nected with tho word Hessian in this country is us undeserved as it is un founded, for the Hessian soldiers had no more option in their employment to light against us than had our negroes to work our rice, and cotton Acids be fore the war. As men they were honest, industrious, and peculiarly domestic, nnd would have given half they wero worth or years of labor to havo remained in their fatherland. To Kngland alone belongs tho dis grace and Infamy of enticing the rulers of these men by large subsidies to com pel their subjects to light her wars. Tho facts are these: On February 10, 1770, Lord Weymouth laid before tho houso of lords a treaty with tlio Hesse Darmstadt, dated January 5, 1770; second, a treaty between George III. and the Duko of Ilrunswiek, dated Jan uary 0, 1770, and third, a treaty with the landgrave of the Hesse-Cassol, dated January f5, 1770, for the line of troops to tho number of 17,!!00. After argu ments pro and eon, and after much op position, the treaties wore ratified. Ilrunswiek furnished 4,0St men, for an annual subsidy of 15,510; Ilosse-Cassol. 12,000 men, for JU10.IIS1; Hesse-Darmstadt, OSS men, for JM.000; Prince ol Waldcck, 070 men, on about tho same terms. Tho king of England further agreed to guarantee tho. dominions of these various provinces against any for eign attack. To the Englishman belongs the terri ble infamy and disgrace of hiring men of tin alien nice to slaughter man as noble as themselves, and related by ties of blood tind speaking tho samp lan guage. But to tho landgraves of Ifesse Cassel, Hesse-Darmstadt and duko of Ilrunswiek uttueh a deeper infamy and disgrace more damnable for tho man ner in which they obtained possession of their subjects. They Ure them with out warning or an opportunity fbr leave-taking from their families and sent them to a foreign land, and many to their graves. Such wore the foreigners to whom we. in our short-sightedness, have at tached all tho brutality and tiendish ness which obtained with England's king, and which grew rank and foul in tho lives and acts of those German princes. Lute though it be to do justice, yet let us endeavor to divest the name of Hessian of tho indignities which have surrounded it, and retain only our memory of hatred for these embodiments of 'human demonism who bade their subjects to lift unwilling hands against men whom these subjects would have gladly protected. Charles ton News and Courier. C'olumlitift' J ilea of the World. Columbus believed the solid part of the sphere to be larger than the liquid part, and the distance by the sunset road between the East Indies and west ern Europe to bo less than it is. lbit in those two capital errors lay the great incentive to the execution and success of his purpose. Had ho known the vast planetary spaces covered by the waters; the continent interposed between his own Eu rop and tho hind of diamonds, gold and spices the dillieulty and peril of the passage vet to be braved in the far regions of the antarctic pole in order to sail from our continental Europe to the oriental Indies by the western way, he would perhaps have shrunk back in alarm unil dre.ul.
