THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1870. XTX2CTB SUMMART. t'ttT Affair The North Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany are abont to continue their doable track between Hatfield and Bonder's station, with a view to its extension to Lansdale. The name company have recently had built three new locomotives for freight trains, named Handy Ban, Edge Hill, and Fort Washington. A very fine one has also been constructed for pe sponger trains. A meeting of those engaged in the organ ization of the Labor Reform party was held last night at the northeast corner of Broad and Chesnnt streets. A committee of five was created to perfect organizations in the various divisions and wards in the city, and after sorse informal addresses the meeting adjourned. A meeting of the Grand Lodge of the American Protestant Association was held last evening, at the hall on Locust street, above Broad, James Aloorn, W. G. M., D. C, Johnson, W. G. Secretary. A large number of members were in attendance. Among the natters under consideration was the grand parade of the Order to come off in this city on Thursday, the 8th of September. From statements made it appears that the turn-out on the occasion will be one of the largest of the Order ever known in Philadcl- hia, the membership of the subordinate odges having been greatly enlarged during the past year. On Monday evening a woman who is known as Mary Tilton, Mary Miller, and by other names, fell in front of the Continental Hotel as if in a fit, and she at once became an object of sympathy. People gathered around, and after the usual means to restore her to consciousness had been successfully used she discovered that her pocket-book had been stolen, and that she, a stranger in the city, was wholly destitute of funds. A collec tion was taken up for her, and in order that suitable lodgings could be provided she was lf,ken ia a carriage to the Central Station. Here she was recognized as having been similarly afflicted before, and with losing her pocket-book under similar circumstances; also as having been committed on a charge of larceny. She was before Alderman Kerr yes terday, when the above facts were stated v.nder oath, and she was committed for '60 ' days. There are at the Central Station seve ral dresses and two or three fine handker chiefs, found among her effects, which the police believe to have been stolen. One of the handkerchiefs has the letters T. S. B. worked in one of the corners, and another the name of Mary Mitchell written in a corner. . ' Elizabeth Wolf, residing near Second and Market streets, whilo paring apples yes terday, cut an artery by the slipping of the knife. Frederick A. Laslie, residing at Front and Shippen streets, fell on the footway at Second and Pine streets and broke an arm. Philip M. Raney, forty-six years old, residing in Alder street, had a shoulder dis located by a sudden upward motion of the arm. A boy named Black, residing at No. C29 South Twenty-fourth street, was run over by n wagon on the Gray's Ferry road, and was much hurt. David Boady, nine years old, was run over by a cart yesterday and had an arm broken. He was removed to No. G18 South Third street. The McQuade Association and steamer No. 4, of Albany, arrived at Walnut street wharf about eight o'clock last evening. They were received by the fire depnrtmeut of the city, under the charge of Chinf Marshal Hamil ton Disston. The following companies par ticipated: First Division Vigilant Fire Company, Resolution Hose Company, Empire Hook and Ladder Company, Humane Hose Company and Perseverance Hose Company.

After the procession was dismissed the guests were escorted by the Orton Club to their rooms, northeast oorner of Seoond and Coates streets, wnere a nne conation was spread. After partaking of supper they were conducted to the Merchants', where they will be quartered duriBg their stay in this city, They leave on Friday evening. The firemen's relief fund now amounts to $1985-50. The citizens in favor of a reform party held a meeting last evening at Broad and Arch streets. Mr. A. O. MCurdy occupied the chair. But eleven persons were present. The meeting was organized, and it was agreed to create a committee of nve to organize meetings in the various wards. After some discussion the meeting adjourned. Poiueetlo Affairs. Gold closed yesterday at 110. About eighty delegates, it is expected, will be present at the Minority Convention, to be held at Reading to-day. Hon. D. J. Morrell has received the Re publican nomination for Congress in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Congressional Dis trict. At the inquest on the body of the victim of the railroad acoident near irenton, on Monday, held yesterday, a verdict was ren dtrcd censuring the company for using inef sclent switcnes. T1IH WAR. LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES, JHEPAEIS rOBTIFIClTIONS THE GOVERNMENT DOES MOT INTEND TO MAKE A STAND, BI T THE PEOI LE DO POPDXAB TAN10 AT TH CAPITAL THE FALL OF STBASBC1. MOST IMMINENT TXBBIBLK SUFFERINGS OF THE BESIEGED. Paris, Aug. 30. (Special to New York Jlerald.) Gold is again circulating in this city. Another American ambulance traia left yesterday to join the army. Three ladies accompanied it. Brittany will soon send an immense number of volunteers to the army. A lesion of foreigners is organizing in thu city. Thirty thousand persons entered Paris Yesterday from the neighboring country. The Doliee are organized into regiments. Mecsuret have been taken to blow up the bridces and tear up the railways around Paris cromptly on the approach of the enemy. It is understood that the diplomatic corns, in case the city is besieged, will go to 'Jours, which, owing to tWu produce, will be considered neutral, and will be respected as such by the belligerents. The Corps Legislatif yesterday voted that the urgency of the situation demanded two important measures. First, the formation of battalions from the Garde Nationale, home guards and firemen of each department, who should be lightly equipped, and especially de signed to bang upon the flanks of tho enemy, attacking them at every opportunity. Second, it was for the Government to take, at prices agreed on, all arms manufactured in France, either from foreign or private parties and now ready for nse. There is no doubt but that a great battle will take place at once. The condition of the French troops is excellent. MacMahon has also received large reinforcements. An entire corps, the 13th, numbering 50,000 men, Tthich was organized here, has been sent to bim. Bazaine has been abundantly supplied with provisions and munitions. Paris is now fully prepared to resist an attack. The work ingmen declare they will defend the city street by street, should it become necessary. Advices received from all parts of the pro vinces invaded show that the sharpshooters are becoming very efficient and capture num bers of Prussian scouts and stragglers and repel attacks on towns and villages. The presence of the sharpshooters and Garde Mobile encourages the country people, who now put on a bolder frent. In some cases they have attacked, killing and wounding quite a number, and at many places they resist the exactions before tamely sub mitted to. Should the Prussians be defeated their re treating columns will be terribly harassed by these irregular forces, who even now hang upon the enemy's line of march, and inflict daily losses. Nothing has been received from the front except rumors of engagements terminating favorably to the French. The country people are now beginning to second the French scouts in giving precise information of the movements of the enemy. Officers and others who have arrived from the front insist that a great battle was fought on August 27, and that Bazaine and MacMahon joined, and that they expected to meet by this time the army of the Crown Prince, which was constantly being reinforced. An American auxiliary ambulance tram, under the direction of Dr. McCormick, set out for the front from Paris to-day. Despatches from the Prussian general head quarters, dated Sunday at noon, declare that Bazaine's communications are completely cut off, and the telegrams printed in Paris as coming from him must be manufactured there. A Brussels despatch of to-day says that MacMahon is about to make a desperate effort to force his way from Sedan, along the line of the Montmedy and Thlonville Railroad, with the object of attacking from the north what ever Prussian forces may be gathered in the triangle formed by the fortresses of Metz, Verdun and Toul, regardless of their num bers. He hopes to have co-operation at all those places. The attempt is a bold and des perate one, as there is no escape from de struction in case ot defeat, it is believed that the Emperor and his son will await the result of this movement at Sedan, and be ready to cross at Bouillors into Belgium, in the event of defeat. t Some journals to-day print a report that the Prussians last night attacked a train on the Paris and Lyons railway. There were some troops in the cars, and they made a de fense. After several of the Prussians had been killed or wounded the rest retreated. The bombardment of Strasburg is becoming very severe, and much damage has been done in the city. IheJ'igaro reports that a leading banker has received from America a telegram saying that twenty ships, heavily armed, have started, ostensibly for various American ports; that they are manned by Germans, and are to prey on French commerce and unde fended ports on the k rench coast. The report creates a sensation here. The French authorities to-day stopped travel via Calais to Paris, and the Boulogne route will probably be closed to-morrow. The channel steamers are already withdrawn. A decree appears in the Journal Ojftciel, dis missing from office the Mayor of Epernay, for issuing a proclamation advising the citi zens to make no defense. The Council of War at Paris have condemned two more of the rioters of La Yillette to death, one to hard labor for life, and one to five years' im prisonment. Great preparations have been made at CharIeviUe,in the rear of MacMahon s position, for the accommodation of the wounded. Ice junction oi MacManon and Bazaine is not yet despaired of. The Journal Umciel states that the blookade only became effective on Aug. 1!). Paris, Aug. 30. (Special to the New York Times.) One of the present writers for the Cologne Gazette was for a long time one of the editors of the Paris Temps, and was well received by the Ministers, as he was supposed to be a warm mend of Franoe, and was deco rated. At the time of the formal declaration of war he bolted suddenly from Paris, being assured tnat ne would be arrested as a spy. He is a Prussian by birth, and his name is Becker. Another Prussian, named Simon, was one of the editors of the Ministerial or gan of Paris, the Consttiutionnel. His salary as editor was only 125 francs a month, and he bad no private fortune, nevertheless ne kept np a large establishment, bad a carnage, horses, etc, was well received by the Minis ters, and had free access to the beat sources of information, and was decorated with the Legion of Honor. As soon as war was de clared he, too, made for parts unknown. Becker and Simon distinguished themselves in their papers by the violence of their arti cles against France. Ibis system of Bis marck a is perfect. Pabis, Aug. ao. A Tribune special corre spondent, passing through Paris yesterday, was allowed to visit tne tort meat ions, ua the inner line comparatively few guns are mounted, and they are of small calibre, mostly old 24s and 32s. The onter forts, toward St. Denis, are oonneoted by lines of earthworks. Much, wood is felled on tnat side, and very little in the Bois da Boulogne. He says: 1 am convinced tnat tbe uov- ernment does not mean to stand a siege, bat the people do. The southern railways are still nncut, and it is not known why, since they bring such enormous supplies. Oxen are coming in droves from Italy. Coming from Dijon, when near Paris, I passed ten return cattle trains in three hours. Nothing in Paris is bo striking as the gene ral gloom of the people, and the efforts to push forward troops are incessant. Shattered regiments are reforming. One regiment of cavalry has been formed out or tbe remains of four which were in the battle of Woerth, and another from two regiments. The offi cers remain, but there are literally no men. Troublesome volunteers are shipped to Al cona. Our correspondent telegraphs from Frank fort, on Monday sight, as follows: Great damtge haa been done to Strasburg, and the the roof of a Catholic girls' school and killed seven and wounded four. After the offer of an armistice was rejected and the German flag f truce was fired on, the bombardment was renewed with redoubled vigor, and the fall of tbe city is imminent. The same correspondent telegraphs from Carlsrube on Tuesday night: "Inhabitants just escaped from Strasburg report dreadful sufferings. Most of the people spend their nights in the cellars. Potatoes are selling at 20f. per pound and other things in propor tion. "Horseflesh is the only meat to be had. General Ulrich deolares that he will not sur render until the city is a heap of ashes, but the inhabitants beseech him to make terms. The beseiging force is increasing, and their losses are trifling. One hundred G0-poanler guns were lately placed in position. The cathedral is but slightly injured. Rain has been falling in torrents for sever tl days." Our correspondent at Paris writes on Sun day night: "The Government promises that 200,000 of the National Guard shall be armed and equipped in five days. There are not over 30,000 uniformed soldiers in the city, and 20,000 regulars; about 20,000 Garde Mobile and 100 cannon at St. Manr. Disci pline is unknown, and tbe Government has no real purpose of arming the. people." Tbe Minister of the Interior says privately that he contemplates ordering all foreign cor respondents out of the city of Paris and pre venting their return. The English news papers say that probably the Prussians will save him the trouble. Another correspondent writes on Monday "the Garde Mobile camp has just broken up, and the troops have gone to join MacMahon." MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Marine Xetes see First Page.
