Thin morning the KomaD Catholic Cathedral n Eighteenth street, above Rare, was tho scene of a fashionable and distinguished wedding, the parties Interested being: no other than our Phila delphia prima donna, Miss 8uan (ialton, and a member of her former operatic troupe, Mr. a. Kellcher. Tho groom, Mr. Kellcher, Is a native English man, who, probably drawn by the attractions f the woman who is now his bride, left his teacher's situation on the other side of tho water, and followed her to this country. He made his first appearance last spring as a mem ber of tho (htlton Opera Troupe, then perform ing at the Theatre Comlquo. Miss Susan Walton, the bride, Is the daughter of Mrs. Mary Pyne (Jalton, and the nicec ot Miss Louisa Pvnc, who, as a member of tho celebrated Pyne & llarrison English Opera Troupe which made its first appearance in this country in ISM, will be remembered by many of our readers. Tho father of Miss Louisa Pyno was a well-known singer, and a decided talent for music appears to run in tho family. Miss Ouhon or Mrs. Kellcher, ns wo must call her hence forthwas born in England, and is now about nineteen years of ago. Her musical instincts were made manifest at a very early age, and It Is said that, when but four year old, she made her first appearance in public as a pianist at a con cert, aud about a year later threw a critical audience into ecstneles by an admirable perform ance of the "Carnival of Venice. " Sho received her first musical instruction from her mother, who had received a thorough training In Italy, and in later years was a pupil nt Paris of Madame Ugnldl, n celebrated vocalist, for two years. Her musical education was completed by Signor Scirra, 1h London, and in December, 1SIS5, she made her tit but n the operatic stage at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, as "Atuina" in La Honnam bula, being received with marked favor and great iipplnnse. llcr first engagement was a very successful one, and on Its termination she appeared nt the Royal and the llayniarket, in comic opera. Then came a tour of the principal cities of England, Scotland, and Ireland, which was quite successful. Jn May, 1808, on her re turn with her company to London, she was en paged for tho opening season at Wood's Mu seum, in New York, where she appeared in tho following summer, and at the close of this engagement transferred her troupe successively to the New York Academy of Music, the Brook lyn Academy of Music, and tho Theatre Continue, New York. Early la January, 180!, the company made their first appearance in Philadelphia at the Theatre Comique, on Seventh street, the opening performance being Levy's operetta of Fanctwttt: Tho charming little singer at once became a great favorite in this city, and week alter week tho houso was filled by a select and enthu siastic audience. Tho class of pieces in which tho company appeared was light and pleasing, but now and then it was varied by the production of a more ambitious piece like Sonnambula, andjon one occasion Miss alton, after appeariug at tho Theatre Comique in one opera, proceeded on the same evening to the Academy of Music, and played the role of "Arlinc" to an overwhelming and enthusiastic house, the other parts being sustained by the members of the old Rlclilugs troupe. Tor about ; a month Miss Galton sang at tho Chesnut Street Theatre, and then, after another short engage ment at the Theatre Comique, made a tour of the West and South, where sho was received with marked favor. On Saturday ovcnlng last anoler engagement at the Chesnut Street The atre, running through three, ttccks, was com pleted, and Miss Susan. Galton took her leave of the stage, but, It Is sincerely hoped, not forever. As early as 8 o'clock this morning crowds of ladies and gentleman from the most respectable families of this city began to assemble in front of tho Cathedral, tho doors of which were still closed. At one time It was feared that tho crowd would be so great as to seriously interfere with the pleasure of those most interested in the eeremony. On the doors being opened, however, it was fonnd that the best of arrangements had been made. The front scats of the middle aisle had been reserved for the friends, and admit tance to them could not be obtained without a card, the personal friends of the family being the only parties possessing this requisite. Though the crowd was great there was no diill nlty in obtaining entrance to the building, it being of sufficient size to accommodate comfort ably all who wished to attend. A large police force was on hand to preserve rder. Previous to tho arrival of the wedding party the organist of the Cathedral, Mr. Michael It. Cross, performed several fine selections on the rgan, among which were a Grand March bv Auber, "Hark! 'Tis the Marriage Bells," anil Mendelssohn's "March from Athalia." Prompt on the hour of half-past nine the car riages of the party arrived in front of the main entrance, and the bride and groom, attended by a bridesmaid and groomsman, walked up the middle aisle. On their entrance, the "Corona tion March" from Meyerbeer's Prophet was per formed. Somewhat of an excitement was no ticeable on the arrival. All were anxious to catch a glimpse of the bride, and many persons, ladies included, did not consider it detrimental to their dignity to stand on the backs of pews ana Dcncnes in pursuit ot this laudable purpose. The brido was attired in a steel-colored silk travelling dress and hat, with oversklrt cut en pauier. Her hair was worn flowing loosely down the back to the waist She carried a bouquet of pure white flowers, ornamented with white lace. The bridesmaid, Miss Blanche Gal ton, a sister of the bride, was dressed in a white figured silk, black velvet sack, and white bon net. Mr. Thomas Wblftin, a member of the Galton troupe, acted as groomsman. Both the gentlemen were in plain evening dress, light pants and dark coat. The bride was escorted to the chancol bv Mr. Whlffln, Mr. Kelleher follow ing with the bridesmaid. The marriage service was performed by Rev. t. P. O'Neill, assisted by Mr. Morris, from the Seminary. Tho marriage solemnities proper were observed immediately on the entrance of the party, and occupied about ten minutes. These being completed, tho bride and groom retired to the kneeling stalls which bad beca provided Immediately in front ot the chancel, when the nuptial mass was recited. During the progress of the mass, tho regular choir of the Cathedral performed a solo and chorus, "Laudate Puerl Dominum," by Abbe Vogler, the solo part being sung by Miss Welsh. A solo and bonis of Hummel s, "Alma Virgo," was also given, and, alter the elcvutiou, "Venl Sancte," by Barnby. On the completion of tho Mass "Mendelssohu's Wedding March" was played by the organist, the bridal party proceeding down tho aisle and re-entering their carriages at tho door. They then proceeded to I'etry's, at the corner of . Broad and Walnut streets, whero they remained for the space of about two hours, holding a pri vate reception and receiving tho congratulations of friends. After tho reception the married couple took the train for New York, en route for Boston, where they propose t spend the honeymoon. The best wishes of all Philadel phia opera patrons go with them, and tho uni versal desire is that the honeymoon may be both long and pleasant, not so long, however, as to prevent the little singer from again returning to our miusu Unprecedented in tho history of the canal tralllc of this locality is the arrival this morning f several canal boats from tho in terlor of the State, by way of the Schuylkill Canal, the tolls reacning aoout ww. 8.

Thy "Unlui llro F.xclnvalnkM Interesting JKapertMent. A very large projortion of tho destructive ron llngrntiims thitt have annihilated thousands of dollars worth of property in this and other cities, could have been prevented if some cer tain and reliable apparatus for extinguishing flame had been at hand ready for use at their ineipieney. Unfortunately, however, water is seldom to 1 chad In sulllclent quantity just at tho time and In the place it I wanted, and even when it can be procured tho damage douo by it is so uri-eat as to leave but little choice between it and the flames. The combustible matter, too, that oftentimes feeds tho flame is of such a nature that it is almost Impossible to extinguish it with water if it once becomes fairly ignited. It is notorious, too, that private flre-cxtinguish-Ing apparatus is seldom or never ready for use when it is wanted, or if in order, it is impossible to obtain for Immediate use a sulllclent supply of water. The great desideratum, therefore, is for some apparatus that will bo nt once cheap, portable, easy of operation, not liable to get out of order, always ready for use, and requiring but a small quantity of water. All of those qualities tire couibiucd in a most perfect manner in tho "Union" i'ire Extinguisher, some inte resting experiments with which we witnessed yesterday, which demonstrated conclusively its cfllcieucy. For the purposes of the test a small shanty of resinous boards was erected, aud this was tilled with tho fragments of several tar bar rels, arranged in such a manner as to allow tho Haines a first-rato opportunity to communicate with the entire mass of combustiblo material; and so that they would bo exceedingly dilUcult to reach. Tho whole was then well filled in with shavings saturated with coal oil, so as to pro duce a fire of an exceedingly obstinate charac ter. The experiment was made In the presence of a number of gentlemen connected with pro minent insurance companies and the Philadel phia Fire Department, and it was admitted by all that tho combustible pile prepared for the occa sion would furnish a mont complete and satis factory test. When lire wos applied only a few moments elapsed before the whole pile "f tar Boaked wood whs in n fierce blaze. It certainly looked like a very unpromining subject for Mr. Austin Mk Green, the Superintendent of tho "Union" Fire Extinguisher Company, to operate upon with the little machine only holding about six gallons of water that he now took upon his back. A thin stream was directed upon tho flames, however, and In about one minute and a half the tire was nearly extinguished, amid the applause of the assembled multitude. It whs found that some of the pieces of wood were slightly charred, but otherwise no damage was done, and the little pine shanty, against the roof and sides of which the flames a moment before had been beating fiercely, was absolutely unin jured. The fire was tlicu permitted to burn up again, and tho experiment was repealed several times until the contents of two extinguishers were exhausted. The method of charging the apparatus was then shown, and while this was being done the five was again urged into a fierce ulnae until the whole structure was enveloped in llnrac. The process of changing occupied a a longer time than on ordluary occasions, owiug to some of the materials not bcliise. at hand, but all was in readiness for action nud tho lire sub dued within such a brief space that this demon stration of the efficiency of the apparatus was considered even more perfect than those that preceded it. These experiments convinced every one present that this extinguisher is all that is claimed for it, and that if kept in readiness in cur holds, factories, theatres, and private dwell ings, a very large number of lires cnu be in- sttntiy checked. Ihe principle of tins nnnaratus s the appli cation of cnrUmic acid gas to the (lames so as to sinotuer them. To geucrate the gas the ex tinguisher Is filled with water, into which about one pound of soda is thrown. A vial of sul phuric acid is then fixed securely in the top of the machine, and iu order to generate the gas it is only necessary to turn a screw at the top, which breaks tho bottle of acid, which, min gling with the soda, generates carbonic acid gas. This is applied by meaus of a small piece of rubber hose, which throws a thin stream of the super-saturated water. In the old form of these machines, the acid aud soda were mingled at once in charging, but it was found in course of time that this caused a corrosion of the receiver and a leakage. This defect is now remedied entirely by an arrangement that mingles the 'acid with the sodafied water only when the apparatus is required for action. This is accomplished la a second simply by turning a screw, aud the extinguisher will re main lor years ready charged for action at a moment's notice, and without any danger that it will get out of order or fail to perform its duty in an emergency. These little machines have already saved an immense amount of property by extinguishing incipient conflagrations; and in all large buildings, such as hotels, theatres, churches, factories, mills and amusement halls, a number of them should always be kept in con stant readiness at convenient points. Within reasonable limits their action is absolutely cer tain, and if applied before a fire gets headway, there is not the slightest doubt that they will smother it without damage to the property. If every housekeeper would provide himself with one and take care to instruct his family and ser vants in its very simple mode of operation, thou sands ot dollars could oiten be saved, at an ex pensethatis exceedingly trilling, these ma chines are manufactured by the "Union" Fire Extinguisher Company, which has secured all the rights and privileges.

Pmtrwrfhr Trt, I ih Pirteeath Ward -The Ibmim Ctta Millar Jmmtr p, limner c Hon la Kala-Lra over 'JOO.O.H). About U o'clock this morning a fire broke out In the third story of the new mill of James P. Urnner A, Sons, sltnatcd on the north sldo of Hamilton street, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets, and in less than ono hour, the structure, an eight-story brick, was in ruins. The mill property extends from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street", running back to n small street called Linn. When In full operation the firm employs about 500 hands, but of lato dilll culties Lave surrounded the firm, and when tint tiro occurred there were but about 100 or 150 hands employed. Tho new building, the one destroyed, had a frontage of about 200 feet on Hamilton street, built in tho shape of the letter L, the smaller portion running back. In tho third story of this, in what is called the weaving-room, tho fire originated, but from what cause is not now known. There wcro no hands employed in this portion of tho premises; those working ocenpied the second, third, aud fourth stories of the Hamilton ctrcct front. The first intimation they had of the fire was the strong smell of smoke, which was first perceived by ono of their num ber engaged on the fourth story, who Imme diately rushed down stairs and Informed the engineer, who at once stopped tho engine. The flames speedily worked their way up wards, nnd the upper floors giving woy, the im mense weight of machinery stored thcroin was precipitated earthward, covoring all the lower lloors with them, together with an immense mass of burning material, which soon served to kindle fires In all tho rooms. The wind blowing strongly from the south served tho purposes, as it were, of a steam fan and aid the fiery demou In his work of destruction. At 10 o'clock the flames had devoured tho whole Interior, and wont shooting upwards towards the sky, and half an hour thereafter the Ham ilton street wall fell with a deafening crash into the street, carrying the roof with it, and scattering fire-brands far and near. Prom tho start the firemen, who wcro early on the ground, saw that all attempts to save the new mill were futile, and therefore turned their attention to the old building, of stone, rough-cast, five stories in height. Through their untiring exertions this building was saved. Tho adjoining properties were also in imminent danger or destruction and the constant application of water alono saved them. lUmnlng olf Twenty-fourth street, be tween Hamilton und Lino streets, is a small court called Spring Mill alley, built up on either side of thrcc-story brick tenements; tho occu pants of these were obliged to remove. their furniture and other effects as speedily as pos sible, there being fears entertained that tho western wall of the mill would give way and crush them. Fortunately such was not the case. The whole of the houses, however, are badly damaged by water. Fire Marshni Blackburn was early at the scene, but no clue as to tho origination of the fire has been found. Tho loss sustained by the (inn is not ascer tainable, although they were all present. They state, however, that they are fully insured; their books, papers, etc. arc all preserved, they being stored in the old building, Twenty-third street end. The firm consists of James P. H. Xaglee and J. Stanley Bruuer. During the war they car ried ou a very heavy business, and the property just destroyed was the result of the accumulated labors of years. Ot late they have not been manufacturing very extensively. Tor more than a year past they have not employed their full complement of Lands, and but u short time ago their female operatives struck in a body, they asserting that they had not received their pay for some months previous. Humors wcro also current that an attachment was about being made by the Sheriff; but for the truth of this we do not vouch. Had all hc hands been nt work an immense loss of life would more than probably have been the result, as all communication was almost in stantly cut off from tho fourth, fifth, sixth, aud seventh stories. The loss on machinery is In itself a small for tune, the building having been tilled with the most improved and valuable kind, whilst the structure itseit could not nave been worth less than $100,000. The firm, although sustaining a total loss of over $200,000, are fully insured in Philadelphia, New York, New England, and English com panies. innuHAncjiM.

There was not a member of the Legislature who was not a prominent member of the Mormon Church ; no other could be elected. Tho leading Mormons who were practising polygamy in the face of Federal authority should be rendered In eligible to vote or hold ontoe.
