INCIDENT OF THE FRENCH VICTORY (Rec. May 25, 10.45 p.m.) Paris, May 25. Details of the lighting at Carency, the scone of the recent 1' rench victory, reveal incidents of extraordinary ferocity. The village was ciiptured house by house. In one case thirty-two Frenchmen found twenty Germans, with fixed bayonets, in a cellar, which already contained piles of German dead, and a death struggle commenced, all fighting like fiends. Sometimes a Prussian would pretend to be dead, and would then draw hig knife and attack and stab, a Frenchman. One Prussian officer appeared to go mad. He threw down his revolver, tore off his tunic, and lashed out with it. After forty minutes not a German wbb alive, and most of the French were wounded, but 28 of them were olive.
