CitGivAV.SHe-ila , Oct. 20-Isew [ York Her-
aid Cubic-.SK.'cl.il | to Tim Ui.i.l The Herald
conespoiidcnt had an interview with Von
Moltko licfuro ho stalled for Berlin. Crclsnn
rcMinblcs a colonial mansion on the .James
river. Iho sunouiidlnir la a park , with mag
nificent Slicslanonks which may well bo the
prldo of HID Prussian paladin. All along the
road and through the park arc signs which
beliay that the Held marshal In not a lover ot
dogs , nnd threaten that if any of man's best
friends are caught plciiIcing on the lawns
their respective masters -\vlll bo mulcted onfl
thaler. Another Hhoit turn in the road and
a bronyc cannon tnlic'ii nt Metzand given to
the marshal by Emperor William frowns
upon us.
"When I irake known the mission with
which the Hciald has instructed me , II d-
inutU Von Molthe , nopltcw ot the paladin
hlinsolf , and ono of the most distinguished
strategists of the younger members of the
gencrsl staff , throws every door In tbocastlo
ojicii nnd accompanies tne 011 my tour of In-
sjici'tSoii , Ho holds out , however , tint there
Is llttlo hope of my seel UK nnd speaking with
his distinguished undo. Count \Valderseois
visiting him. Wo go up tlio broad stone
stairway , which is covered with Virginia
ciceperi , and enter llio reception hall , Hcio
we are con fronted with nu equestianstatuo
ofl'mpcior William wilhvliich the mem-
birs of Hie ( rcncral staff ptcsonted their
paladin after tlio Froiuh campaign Hero
also aio busts and portraits of nearly
all the ( icrmiii kings and princes and
also of Victor Kminnnuel. I continue my
tour thiotigh the castle The wainscoting ,
flooring , stahways , as well as the furniture
thiouixhoutthccustlouroofp'nlnuiixarnishcd
Silcsimi vvoi-k On the stairway leading to
the rooms whldi Von Moltko occupies stands
mi antlniie. tall urnnd father's clock which
lias bowl ticking in the Moltko familvfor ten
generations. Hero Is a wonderful model of
the Ooinmnia monument , which stands by
Illngoncn tliollhinc. Ills a ( resent of the
.sculptor , Piofcssor Schilling of Munich.
Here vostumblo upon an cqucstrbiu statue
of Von Moltko himself , the glttof the city of
I.cipsic , a diminutive of the map ill cent
memorial which adorns the city of Limes. I
lead ou thupcdostial that it Is sent to ttio
prcnt wnrlor by the guileful citizens of
Lelpsle.
Then I am shown Into the library , where ,
as throughout the castle , Silcshm oak pre
dominates , but mi American rocking chuir Is
jointed out to me ns the gift of an udtulicr
fiom tlio United Slates and a favorite resting
place of tbo marshal , On the wall Ispaintiul
nn old-fashioned genealogical family tree ,
which carries the soldicr'Hraco back Into the
misty epochs of thfl Scandinavian sea kings
Then thtoiiKhn halt open door I gctn glance
nt the bedroom of the grc.it ccnernl , It I ? n
little cablnctof about twenty feet by twelve
In dimensions nnd contains a narrow soldier's
bed , a wash-stand , a table , and a photograph ,
fadctl and dimmed , of his greatly and so sin
cerely lamented wife. . There is something
touching in the simple aud modest appear
ance of the spot.
AftcrthankimjMajor Vori Moltko for his
kindness 1 turn my back upon the Prussian
Walhallu anddrivo past the oak of peace ,
which was planted on the lint anniversary
of Sedan and docs not seem tollouiish. I re
turned to Crelsmin second time and followed
the path -willed the peasants told mo led to
i the Riavo of the silent thinker's * , vlfo , a sim
ple vnult made Into a liillsido and about IIf-
tccii minutes' walk from tlio schloss. The
llttlo chnpcl is ovcrshadwl by a copy of 'Ihor-
walden's Christ , with the blbltcan saying on
the pedestal , "Olollebo 1st des gesi't/ics erf
wollung , " To themoinory ot his dearly loved
compinlon In lifo Von Moltko has remained
constant mid true for years. Not a day nasses
that ho does not visit the chapel tovvnich ho
aio no possesses the key , and remains there
often an hour in silent communion with the
belo\cd dead. Fresh cut violets which lie
strewn over cold stone were called on the
hillside and placed there not an hour ago by
the man who passes In tlio world ns being of
blood nud lion. I turn away from the sad
spot and , following the course ot a stream
full of trout , approach oncu again the man
sion through thu forest. About two hundred
yards from the castle , seated on n bench , I
perceived the object ot my visit nnd rcall/cd
on llio moment how sad I should have been
to have tinned my back upon Grcsian with
out Imvingcaughta glimpse of its venerable
master. Ills A'ou Moltko ; there can bo no
mistake , though n frieze jacket , such ns
forestcm vcar , Ins taken the place of the
military mantle worn , when I saw the tall ,
gaunt ilguio following with sad step the re
mains of Ids eniporor from the Dom to the
HrandonbuiKcrthor through the snow. Ho
is gentle and courteous as I tell him how
much the Heruld would esteem a few words
fro in him.
The Herald Is very kind , " said the mar
shal , "I am happy to welcome its represent-

gone. The to er of steel 120 feet high , the
great standing pillar of ' Wvier that lias been
thojoy ixnd pildo of all Temple's citizens. Is
no more. The accident Ocpurcd yesterday
morning at 2 , oO o'cloclc. No warning was
given , no danger was "feared , when all at
once , with n shock that.eliuok . the tovn ,
280OiX , ) gallons of water went foaming
mid hissing over the , doomed portion
of the city , nnd Imaiouso sheets of
boiler steel , hundreds of pieces of scaffold- i
iugi , houses , birns , fence ! and all tlio doorls
of the surrounilmg nelghbjihood wont Heat
ing and crashing In all directions. Every
body was awakened. Tbo people In the
houses near liy were nearly frightened to
death. Tbo houses swayed with the lush of
water , and two of the nearest vvoro curried
awiy. Ono was crushed to sulintors and oth
ers vvoro twisted ntidvva'slied oft three blocks.
It was all over after a .fo\v moments , but
those moments vvcro of-deitructlon. Acroivd
quickly githeicd attho stoic , but weio pow
erless to aid. Ily the .bright moonlight the
frightened nooplo saw n jsiglit that brought ,
vividly before ttielr ininjls the horrors of
Johnstown.
Lvingout towards the street vvoro sixteen
sections of the pipe , a grMt hollow cylinder
twenty foot liidiametec..rudof ) the heavlost
boiler steel. The lower s.ctloai of the plpo
wcro thrown hi a different direction. They
were torn as the power of man might tear
tinfoil , twisted and crumpled us a seiinstress
would hindle her cloth. The house occupied
by 0. T , Kigdon wns crushed us an cgif shell
and afterwards buined.-The several barns
uid sheds nenr by were washed down and
avray. The fences of the neighborhood are
gone , and all over the streets , alleys nnd yards
ro scattered the contents of houses and
jams , vvhllo limbers from everywhere are
ylng around In all conceivable shapes.
\Vaponsaro scuttcied fur and wide. Big
aieces ot Iron , largo foumlntlon roelcs and nil
iho lighter matciial within leach of the
: nlghty llovv vvoro scattered in nil directions.
The damage done is lienvv , outside of the
standpipe itself. .All the houses aioundwere
[ looJed with water nud several seriously
damaged. Toadd to thogoneial excitement
and trouble , the house ocoupioa by Mr. Itip-
don , the night yardnmster nt the Santa Fo
yards , took ilio from an Overturned lump and
was totally * consumed. ,
Hlgdon himself was seriously burned , nud
tils recovery Is doubtful. ' The burning of
the house occurred later , nbout ! i o'clock , the
llrst flames sinotheiing among the damp com
bustibles , but bursting forth later. The
house uiul nil that was" In it vvas consumed.
IVIr. Thomas , who hull just completed the
\voik , snys hols wholly unable to account for
the accident. His II run , Th o mas & ( iorinan ,
ot Houston , have eiecjed stiind-plprs In
many places They have never had n mis
hap. The material was furnished by Itiploy
AHronson of St , Louis , nnd was the vcrv
best of stool , every piece having been tested
and marked to withstand a pressure of
( W,000 , pounds , It was in good and us heavy
us any in Texas , and ; equal to loco
motive boileis. jN'ollnv } are apparent in any
of the broken and torn pieces , and the work
manship shows it to be lirst class. Tlio foun
dation is still there solid and unliaunod , ex
cept In one place , vvhcroa gash two feet long
is cut through the bottom nnd a couple of
rocks washed In.
Mr. Thomas is wholly unable to account
for it on any hypothesis ; except that djna-
inito had boeii u.scd , Tim loss Is considerable ,
the stnndplpa alone having cost over SIO.OOO. .

will bo In session several days , and tlicmost
linpoitint business to bo transacted 111 be
the formation of a union of all the Urcck
Catholic churches of the United States under
ono Head , hi other \\ords , the Greek Catho
lics of the United States want a pope of their
own , whose residence will bo In the United
States , It Isdoubtfulhowever , it the Vatican
will consent to any such scheme. The United
Greek Catholics In the United Stitcs are now
under the Jurisdiction of the bishops of tlio
various dioceses , TtieUrecks don't want this ,
The bishops , on the other bund , say It can't '
bo otherwise. If the Greeks want to remain
within the fold of the Koimin churdi they
must obey Its laws. Tliorols nota bishop in
the United States , however , vbo his any
special desire for ruling over the ( ! rocks. .As

strewous class of people ho has to deal with ,
They are continually making trouble , nnd If
they arc not qiiairclini , ' amonpr themselves as
to how their churches ouplit to bo managed
tho.V are finding fault with their bishops.
Some ot the wusons plvon by the Greek
Catholics for their refusal to bo governed by
thu Latin bishops areas follows
" 1 TheAineticaii bishops , \\ith liut few
oxctptlotis , cannot apeak or read Iho (1 ( reek

uroof Archbibhop Puiecllof Cincinnati con-
vincps us that the members of the American
hieiarchy aio not always ths best llna'i-
clom. "
rj.'ho other grievances coinplalnca of are of
minor character.
In an interview with a prominent lay mem
ber of one of tlio Crock ihurvhcs yesterday
ho said : "Wo Greek Cntholla want a spirit
ual ruler of our own In this country ; no want
an American pope. U Is truuuo ova alleg
iance to tlin popu oC Rome , but In older to
make our church thilvo in this country \\o \
must have a leader lieio. It Is almost Impos
sible for the Greeks to get a hear
ing at Latin Koine. A. committee of
A iiiericnnUi'eek priests and laymen are now
in communication nith Cardinal Slnior of
Hungary. Wo huvo already leeched ono
letter from the prince of tbo church. He ad
vises patience and to bo guarded by our

The outcome of the coufcipncowlll bo
