A Panic, Followed by • Jam, In WUA •Any People Perish. The New bridge connecting the cities of New York and Brooklyn, across j£ast mvei, has had Us fMptism of blood. It was the scene oa Deoesation day of one of the most singular aad shocking accidents in the his tory of bridge Aisastera The narrowness of the footway Isr passengers was the cause of the catastrophe. There was a crush at the steps of the New York approach to the bridge, and in the panic that followed some fifteen people lost their lives, and many others were bruised and cripp'ed In a shocking manner. The particulars of the hor ror a e embraced in the following summary of the accounts telegraphed from New York: The iong of people on foot on the ceater walk of the struCTure, going from and com ing to this city, thickened, swelled, and stopped in its motion, just at the s'airs leading from the concrete roadway to the bridge proper. Strong men and feeble women, m&nhcod and infancy, were wedded together in that fearful pressure of the crowd, which extended miles, one might say, on either end of the line. It was a re morseless, fearful, stupid force that held its victims as immovable as the stone founda tions of the bridge itself. The stoppage lasted nearly an hour, during which time scores of people fainted. To relieve toe jam, some of the bridge' offi cials removed some of the iron paling a few fe t from the stairway on the New York side, when, of course, those unfortunate enough to be near, and weak and fainting as they were, immediately fell hel- ter skelter, heels oyer head, down on the lagged, gravelly road beneath, a mass of bruised, discolored human flesh. Scores were trampled upon instantly, and to stum ble was to fall to death. Men were dragged out of that heap of helpless humanlqr with faces blue as ind go and the life- blood trickling out of their nostiils, with children and women pale, dishevelled, and dead. The roadway on either side of the walk was strewed with dead and dying-- a pitiable sight, and yet, it is said, no efforts were made by the bridge officials to stop the people coming on the bridge. The dead and dying were carried oT in wagons, carts, etc.. improvised on the moment for service, and it was a long time before the police arrived an:l anything like order was restored or an ambulance Appeared. Meanwhile teams were rushing both ways at full gallon over the roadways--why no one couid tell--threatening the limbs and lives of thjse on foot who were attempting to help the unfortunate victima Men shouted themselves horse to "clear the way," and the wagons rattling over the rough stones, and men and women crj'ing in all direct ons made it a Bedlam indeed. A party of mea in uniform did some service at the spot as volunteer police to check the vu'gar and curious The dead and wounded were picked up as . speedily as possible and carried to the nos- gorod advanced with the clergy to the foot pital 1 . . --J ^ -"Sis 'Sssr -tss •claimed Emperor of all the Russia*, and slit lives.

The following ao- count of the coronation ceremonies is taken irom tbe New York Herald"« cable report: The procession moved from the Imperial Palace before 7 o'clock, amidst the tiring of artillery and the ringing of the Cathedral bells The gendearmeries and troops led the way, and the imperial coaches which followed were surrounded by masses of mounted General officers and personal guar da All the princely guests and repre sent ttives, personally, of foreign powers, followed At an early hour the foreign Am bassadors, members of the Diplomatic Corps and Enveys had met by appointment at the residence of the German Ambassador, that piaoe having be n selected for its con venient location; they joined in the proces sion, gilded state coaches having been pro vided for them. The Czar looked In excellent health, and appeared in the Cuirassier Guard uniform of pure white and without orna- m?nb or decoration. The Czarina wore a heavily-embroidered costume, and the im perial pair moved from the throne-room to the Uspensky Cathedral under a magnificent canopy, upheld by thirty-two Generals of the army. Drummers, tiumpets and popu lar' acclamations announced the starting of heprocesslon. ' Tne divine services in the Cathedral were begun fit 8 o'clock, tie Invited guests, only 250 in number, crowding the chapel-like building. The services were performed while tne procession wa > passing from the palace to the church, and at the conclusion of the Te Deum the C a-owitch and the other members of the imperial family and the foreign Princes entered and took ihair places at the right of the throne. Everything was in readiness, and the audience only awaited the arrival of the:r Majesties. At the Cathedral entrance they were met by the superior clergy. The regalia accom panying the procession con-i=ted of the two imperial crowns, the two collars of the Order of St Andrew and the globe and scepter, whose monev value exceed $2,000,- 000, but wh >se statistic value is very smalL The imperial crown was that of Catherine, with its fifty large stone3 and 50,001 bril liants, which had been used at five preced ing coronations. The Or! off diamond mounted the scepter, and the sphere holds the finest sapphires in the world. Their Maje - tics entered the Cathedral with all pomp, and t .ok their places on the throne dais. The throne of Alexander was of carved ivory, and that of the C/.nr.na was of silver gilt, inerusted with diatnon Is, but lower in form than that ot the Emperor.

A Fearful Conflagration at Lynchburg, Va., Accompanied by a Horror. A clerk in the establishment of Jones, Watts & Co., tynchburg, the largest dealers in hardware in Virginia, was sent down cel lar after some article, and lighted a piece of paper, which he thoughtlessly threw upon the floor near a barrel of oil. The liquid be came iirnitei, and in a few minut3s the whole building, an immense iron-front struc ture, was in flames. The fire spread with such rapidity that not a book or paper could be saveo, and several of the cleric's found it difficult to escape from the burning build ing. Before any effort could be made to check the progress of the flames the build ing Mli liiinni^niilnl by the Virginian newspaper and^ErCoiAnercial Bank, caught fire, and was soon completely gutted. All the rapers and money of the bauk were caved, but everything appertaining to the " aper establishment Klne Persons Killed, feMfeai Probably Drowned, and Seven Wennded. A shocking disaster is repeated by tele- girspii from Ban Francisco. The stern-wheel passenger steamer Pilot, plying along the bay, was blown to pieces by the explosion of one of her boilers, and fifteen of the pas sengers and crew lost their lives. The par ticulars of the sad affair are embraced in the following dispatches from Fan Francisco: Of ficers of the steamer Donahue reported that in passing Donahue Landing they noticed the Pilot coming down the creek in midohannel, and a few punutes afterward saw no sign of the incoming steamer. A message was sent to Petaluma directing that a lelief train with physicians and nur. e > for the wounded be immediately dispatched i o Lakeville. When the relief train arrived the surgeons on board found little to do, as of allthoBe known and believed to be on board none but the Captain and two others (one the pilot) oottld be* found. They were discovered in the fields, seriously iniured, the Captain the least of the three. Search was was made in every direction in the sand dams near the bank, and, one after another, four men were found, all more or less seriously injured- some with an arm or leg broken in the falL One was but Flightly in jured, having fallen in long grasses Out of t iese he managed to scramble on higher and drier ground. Had he been more seriously injured he would hfcve bean drowned by the hii>h tide. Last reports show that eight are kiiledl, S2ven wounded and ten rais ing. Most of the latter are probably dead, but the bodies have not yet been found. The names of the passengers cannot be definitely ascertained as no names are recorded at the points of departure. It is tuougnt many of the passengers who escaped scalding and mangling were drowned, as the boat sank immediately after the explosion. The explosion is attributable to defective boilers. Those persons who witne;sed the explosion from the steamer Donahue, say that it was almost funny to eea the way the smoke-stack went up. It eeemed, as they say, to leave the vessel in advance, and shot up in the air over o*0 yards, coming down again within a few feet of the vessel. Matthews, late of Sonoma Mountain, on his way to Arizona, lost four children, and another will die. His wife is crazy. A STRANGE INCIDENT. The most extraordinary incident in oon- nection with the disaster was the finding of Mrs. George 1'. McNear, a passenger, about a mile and a half from tne scene of the ex plosion. She was standing in the mud and was still alive, but unconscious. It is pre sumed she struggled t rough the mud and weeds for that distance in search of relief. She was immediately removed to Lakeville, but died a few minutes after her arrival.' < t THE WHEAT CROP. of the throne, while the clergy and the Czar repeated the Lord's prayer.

The announcement of the conclusion of the ceremony was made by a salvo of artillery, followed by cheers throughout the Kremlin and re-echoed by cheers and t.umpet blasts throughout the city. The ceremonies were followed at oaoe by almost innumerable banquets, the Czars guests being much too numerous to admit of their entertainment; at o'no meeting.

There are men who have been perpet ually under the influence of liquor for twenty or tliirty years. Of course, the brain must have become permanently injured, so that we may infer that the- drink these persons now take has little^ or no real effect on them, and that their state would be just the same with- ' out it. Others, again, are systematic and punctual drunkards of regular habits, men who take their quantum and are put to bed unconscious every night, yet are qapable of attending to- their daily business in the most-extraor dinary manner. These, as a rule, never exceed a given amount by so- much as a glass, and do not suffer so much as intermittent drunkards -- at any rate, not so soon, for the inevitable consequence is only a little longer de ferred. The writer knew an old doctor in Jamaica who used to aver that the- climate was the finest in the world. "Yellow fever, sir?" he would exclaim --"not a bit of it. A vulgar chimera t A malicious libel on us! The fact is, it's the vicious, irregular drinking hab its of the people here that kills 'em. Look at me! I drink a bottle of brandy every night, and have done so for thirty years. 1 get tipsy seven times a week m an orderly and decent manner; and I've never had the yellow fever nor a day's illness!" And to all appearance he was a fine healthy man of 65 or 70, with a beard as white as snow. Yet he ;wa,s carried off suddenly by a trifling indisposition incidental to the climate; p,nd it was found on examination of his papers after death that his age was only 52. It does not by any means follow, either, that because a man it never intoxicated he may not be drinking too much. Men Smplbyed in the great breweries in Lon-on, especially the draymen, consume an enormous quantity of beer. The jlaily allowance which their employers give them is a very large one, but they rarely confine themselves to that; ana the draymen, .in addition, get much : Gratuitously fromthe customers to whom : phey are always delivering the casks; so that ten or fourteen quarts is no excep tional consumption for one man; yet they are no drunkards, in the ordinary pense of the term. The very nature of their work necessitates the employ ment of but steady men, strength be ing also a sine qua non. But if one of these men should break a limb, or pet confined to bed from any other ac cident he is almost sure to get delirium fcremens; and a scalp wound frequently Mils him. Brewers' men are notorious in hospitals as being the worst cases for operation, typing prone to exhibit all the most dangerous complications whieh fetter the success of surgical treatment. j--Chambers' Journal. How the Human Organism Protects Itself. The organism of the human body is a self-regulating apparatus. Every in terruption of its normal functions ex cites a reaction against the disturbing cause. If a grain of caustic potash ir ritates the nerves of the palate, the sal* ivary glands try to remove it by an in creased secretion. The eye would wash it off by an immediate flow of tears. A larger quantity of the same Bubstanee could be swallowed only under the pro test of the fauces, and the digestive or gans would soon find means to eject it. The bronchial tubes promptly react against the obtrusion of foreign sub stances. The sting of an insect causes an involuntary twitching of the epider mis. If a thorn or splinter fastens it self under the skin, suppuration pre pares the way for its removal. If the stomach be overloaded with food, it xe* volts against further ingestion. These automatic agencies of the or ganism generally suffice to counteract the disturbing cause, and the sensory symptoms attending the process of re construction constitute merely a plea for non-interference. The suppurating tissues push the thorn outward, and re sent only a pressure in the opposite di rection. " The eye volunteers to rid itself of the sand-dust, but remon strates against friction. The rum- soaked system of the toper undertakes to eliminate the poison, and only asks that the consequences of the outrage be not aggravated by its repetition. But, if that plea remains unheeded, it finally takes the form of the emphatic protest we call disease. For, even in its urgent manifestations, the reaction against a violation of nature's health- laws is a cry for peace, rather than a petition for active assistance in the form of medication. "Accustom your self in all your little pains and aches," says Dr. Jennings, "and also in your grave and more distressing affections, to regard the movement concerned in them in a friendly aspect--designed for and tending to the removal of a difficulty of whose existence you were before unaware, and which, if suffered to remain and accumulate, might prove the destruction of the house you live in--and that, instead of its needing to be ' cured,' it is itself a curative opera tion ; and that what should be called disease lies back of the symptoms which, in fact, are made for the express purpose of removing the real disorder or difficulty."--Dr. Felix L.
