THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY , JUNE 19, 1871. 5 LETTER FROM WILLIAUSrORT. The State Editorial Excursion. Editorial Correspondent of The Bvening Telegraph. WILLIAMSPORT, June 15, 18T1. The growth of tills metropolis of lamberdom Within tbe last few yean has been very rapid, the population taring risen from six to eighteen thou eand In about six years, partly In oonseqnence of the large profits derived from the lumber business daring the war, and the subsequent expenditure of some of these profits In splendid local improvements partly on account of the steady Increase of railroad facilities, but more especially, perhaps, on account of the construction of a gigantic boom, or series of booms, on the Susquehanna, for the distance of bout ten miles above and below this city. The boom Is a State Institution. Nothing like lt,or equal to It, is to be found anywhere else, except, possibly, In a struc ture on the waters of the Penobscot, In the heart of the lumber region of Maine. To construct these booms chartered company has obtained privileges giving it partial, and in some respects complete, control over the Susquehanna for a distance of about thirty miles; and this concession encountered such bitter opposition, alike from parties who desired to form a boom at a point on the Susquehanna below the limits of this State, In Maryland, and from a portion or the lumbermen In this region, that It was only obtained after a desperate struggle. The magnitude of the interests at stake mar be Inferred from the fact that the cost of the booms and their appurtenances Is variously estimated at from 11,000,000 to l,soo,ooo; while the supply of pine logs usually detained In the booms, annually,ls about S2,000,000 feet, or more than enough to stock the entire Philadelphia market. The practical effector the boom is to centralize the business or sawing these logs, and preparing them for the use or builders, as boards, laths, etc., at Willlamsport, Instead .or having It distributed at a hundred points. The boom also puts in the hands or the Willlamsport saw-mill owners and operators, to a large extent, the business or seasoning as well as sawing lumber; and Instead or the old system or sending to the cut twice a year, at the time or spring and rail freshets, an nncertaln supply or lumber, theWll llamsport dealers carry such large stocks that orders can be filled at any period or the year, as demands arise. The boom, which la the leading agent in accom plishing these results, needs for its successful ope ration a gigantic dam, costing about a quarter or a million or dollars, and making, at the favorable point selected, a stretch or Black water probably fifteen miles or perhaps even more In length, and having an average width of about five hundred yards. Through this great reservoir, at convenient points, and in close succession, five booms have been constructed, with a total capacity or storage equal to double the amount or lumber now usually stored In them during each year. The leading idea is to leave about half the breadth.of the river unob structed, and, so to speak, to fence off the other haif as a reservoir for logs. A succession or large piers, numbering in all about live hundred, are built about midway in the river not from shore to shore, but parallel with the current these piers strongly resembling those which support country bridges over comparatively large streams. Between the piers there is a space or from fifty to one hundred feet, over which long pieces of stout timber, fastened to the piers, are kept floating and they constitute the boom proper their service being to direct and con fine the logs in the channels selected for them. In these channels or reservoirs millions of logs are at the proper seasons piled upon each other as com pactly, yet as Irregularly, as huge cakes or floating Ice are sometimes packed In obstructed pertlons of large rivers. The lumbermen In the pine regions above Wil llamsport, consisting in part or Clearfield, Potter, and Elk counties, as they cut their logs and drag them to the tributary streams, mark each log with an initial, sign, or trade-mark selected by the saw mill owner lor whose use they are intended, and alter the logs destined for two hundred or more saw mills are floated to the boom and plunged appa rently In inextricable confusion, they are finally assorted by these marks and delivered to their re spective owners. The Herdlc House la a large brick structure, hand some and complete in all Its appointments, seated in the midst or a magnificent lawn, where a lovely award stretches beneath shade or gtand old trees, adorned and variegated with rare shrubbery. In front of it is a spacious street, on each side of which are a number of remarkably handsome and spacious villas, standing far back from the street and sur rounded on every side with broad lawns or most exquisitely-kept green Bward, even and smooth as a carpet, and exhibiting the ceaaleBS care and labor which alone can produce perfection or culture. Such splendid villas as adorn the fair heights of Germantown or Brooklyn here beautify the central street with foliage and flowers, making Willlamsport a lovely succession or gardens through the length or its principal promenade. The saw-mlils are a wonder or mechanical inge nuity and or commercial enterprise, and the mighty results rise all around in mountains or boards which are robbed or all their usual prosaic unslghtllncss by the vaatness or their number and the white gleam that proves that they are the result or a few days' endeavor. At a meeting held yesterday afternoon, the city or Willlamsport welcomed the editors or Pennsyl vania by the courteous voice or its chief, the Mayor. or the city, in the beautiful ball or the Academy or Music, redolent .with the odors or natural flowers culled from its own gardens, and draped by a happy fancy with wreaths of living greenery, swayed gracefully between the pillars of the arched galle ries. Tbe remarkably handsome stage gave room for the officers and orators of the occasion, and to say that Henry G. Smith, or the Lancaster InteUU grnctr, President or the State Editorial Association, directed the proceedings, Is to say that the meeting was bright and genial,' without a lagging moment. An eB8y on newspapers was read by J. Luther Rlngwalt, and a poem on the printing press, written by D. Bralnerd Williamson, was, In his absence, very effectively rendered by Eugene H. Munday. In the evening the editors and their wives, sisters, or daughters met around the restive board, in a bright array both of dress and address worthy of the State they represented, and the hours flew by on winged feet while appropriate toasts were ge nially and eloquently responded to. by Mr. Purer, of the Mauch Chunk Times; Mr. Capron, of Willlams port; Hon. Henry S. Evans, of West Chester; Jacob Zlegler, or Butler; Judge Narr, or Trenton; Mr. Kennedy, of the Carlisle Volunteer; Mr, Pungborn, of Jersey City ; Thomas M. Coleman, Esq., or Phila delphia; and Henry T. Darlington, Esq., or Doyles town. The editorial party, comprising about one hun. dred and fifty ladles and gentlemen, will continue their excursion to-day by a trip northward to Wat kins' Olen, and all its members are highly gratified with the success which has attended this first attempt at a social union or the Pennsylvania press. i J. L. R. The Northern Tier Peter Hurdle Mlnne qua Watkin Cilou. Minnqda, June 16. Tbe excursionists connected wltn the State Edi torial Association left Willlamsport yesterday morn ing, Journeyed thence to Wauiui-a distance or one hundred miles, nearly am, north passing through Lycoming and Bradford counties, or Penn sylvania, into the State or New York, and returned here to-day. Much or the region traversed was in former times studded with pin forests, but while some of It still furnishes considerable quantities or lumber, and while a few coal mines have been opened, the chief industrial Interest at this day la pastoral agriculture. Brad ford county has long been noted for the number of farms Into which it is subdivided, and the adjoining portion or New York Is cultivated with sucn labo rious and nnceaslng care that it liberally support its thriving metropolis, the city or Klwlra, containing aeut seventeen tnousana inhabitant, ana io'-hwu at the intersection or the Northern Central and Erie KaiiioaU. All of this region la soinethirg of a Ub'e land, as it is considerably elevated aijove the level Of the sea, without being thoroughly niounuluous. Minnequa Is on the line of the Northern Central, about forty miles north of Willlamsport, and it is rapidly rising Into notoriety as a favorite mountain watering-place. A hotel, affording accommoda tions for several hundred persons, and surrounded by such appurtenanoes to the pleasure of tourists as gas-lit lamps, billiard-rooms, ten-pin alleys, bath-rooms, pleasant walks, and a tame bear, has been constructed here cultivated hillsides skirting the southern exposure! while a broad expanse or forest extends along the northe-n side or the railway. The special attraction, aside t.-om those named, and aside from the clear mountain air, Is the Mlnneqna Spring, whose waters, without containing enough or sulphur to be repulsive to the taste, possess some of Its healing virtues as well as medicinal qualities derived from other mine rals duly set forth la an analysis. The Mlnnequa House la an unusually large and fine hotel to spring np suddenly in a comparatively remote region, and its existence is due to the eaterprlse or that locomotive and enigma or the central portion or Northern Pennsylva niaPeter Herdlc. All Important advance steps are credited chiefly to him. Born and bred in the lumber regions surrounding Willlamsport, he went, not many years ago, to that city, poor In purse, gifted only with the rudiments of a rudimentary education, but possessing Indomitable energy, daring enterprise, unflagging Industry, and coura geous resolution. As new necessities are developed, be either takes a leading part In supplying them or sets the ball in motion solitary and alone, and some times amid the plaudits of his townsmen, and some times amid a storm of obloquy, he advances Wil llamsport rapidly on the road to progress, according to one version, and on the road to financial ruin accoiding to another. The Mlnnequa House is but one or his structures. Tbe Herdlc House at Willlamsport a solid brick building, comparing favorably in size and accommodations with the largest hotels of the country Is another. Then, although Herdlc had influential associates In fighting the long local, financial, and legislative battle lor the boom, newas the inspiring spirit of the struggle. He carried a proposition to pave more than three miles of the streets or Willlamsport with a Nicholson pavement, got the contract for constructing it, laid down the pavement, and took his pay in city bonds aggregating an amount which runsuplato very respectable figures for an inland city. He has also constructed at Willlamsport a fine trotting course, with a Hand capable or accommodating thousands or spectators; a pond In which trout are cultivated ; and he has taken an active part In so many other movements t'.iat have hastened the growth and enhanced the prosperity or Willlams port, that he is an object or nearly universal com ment in this region, and the great wonder is what Peter Herdlc will or will not do next. The extreme northern point reached by the edito rial excursionists was the pleasant town or Watklns, beautifully situated at the head or Seneca Lake, on the line or the Northern Central, three hundred miles from Philadelphia. The lake itself (on which the party had a fine steamboat excursion yesterday evening), combined with the invigorating mountain and mountain lake air, Is no Blight attraction, but Watklns Glen, leading from the southern end of the town far up the mountain side, is a never-failing source of delight to every tourist who possesses a spark of love for unique, impressive, and grand natural scenery. Tbe name or this wonderful curiosity Is deceptive, and conveys no idea or its character. It is a canon or canyon, rather than a glen ; or a series or canons rather than a series of glens. Webster defines a glen to be "a secluded and narrow valley; a depres sion or Bpace between hills," and this defini tion is much less applicable to the succes sion of wonderful, beautiful, and impressive sights at Watklns Olen, than the definition of canon or canyon, viz. : "A deep gorge, ravine, or gulch between high and steep banks, worn by water courses." Twenty or thirty thousand years ago, according to the geologists, the solid masses of rock on the side of the mountain bordering on the valley below the head of Seneca Lake were rudely torn asunder, leaving an aperture of various widths from ten or twenty feet to as many yards, or a height at various localities from one hundred to three hundred feet, stretching back for several miles from the valley and gradually attaining over this dis tance an elevation of about one thousand feet above the waters of Seneca Lake. Through this aperture, which is formed of a series of layers or rocks, chiefly shale, a small stream has been winding its devious way, now expanding into a peaceful little rivulet, anon converting Itself into a picturesque waterfall, and frequently carving out or the solid rocks pools varying in depth rrom forty feet to depths that plummet has never sounded. The opening to the so-called glen is a clear-out canyon, consisting of walls or rock, as regular, on the southern side, as a piece or artificial misonry, about seventy-five yards long, and from one to two hundred feet in height. After the glen proper, a series of stairways, cut sometimes out of the BOlld rock, and consisting sometimes or ladder-like wooden steps, furnish a track over which the tourist presses onward, up ward, and occasionally across the glen, to behold at every turn and at every winding some picturesque and beautiful new combination of towering rock, tumbling waterfall, placid pool, and silver thread streamlet scenery. There Is no real danger in passing over these footpaths, but as they occasionally overhang yawn ing precipices, they afford to the bold an opportunity for congratulating themselves upon the possession or stout nerves, and to the timid so fair an excuse for timidity that, If fainting bad not become un fashionable, some of the passages in Watklns Glen would be a capital place for Indulging in that old- time luxury. As at present arranged, the tourist passes from glen to glen, until about ave or alx are visited in succession all being, in fact, mere con tinuations of each other, and forming, as a whole, as unmistakable a canyon as was ever formed in a mountain side. While each of Innumer able scenes has its special admirers, no lover or the sablime and beautiful can fail to find much here adapted to his special tastes. The rainbow of Watklns Glen was one or the most bewitcbltgly beautiful thtngs I ever beheld, and If nothing else was to be seen there, this alone would be well worth a visit. At one or the most charming and picturesque portions or the gorge, where titanic masses or rock rise up la grand confu sion, and where mlrror-Uke pools reflet hack bright gems of mountain scenery, a thin spray-like stream, which might well be called a bridal veil, tumbles over the side of the rocks In such minute particles or water that it forms at this parilcular locality a per petual miniature shower, the drops being appa rently converted into a thousand minute crystals, through which, when the sun shines, a charmingly bright and resplendent miniature rainbow is seen. To the eye it appears scarcely ten feet distant; its arc la scarcely twenty feet in length, and in altitude it is beneath, rather than above, the spectator st that he literally looks down upon the brightest, loveliest, and most enduring of little rain bows and if there Is a spark or poetry or romance in his composition, his feelings are wrought up to exaltation by this irresistible combination of the loveliest charms or natural scenery. J. L. E. FRAUDS IN LIFE INSURANCE. Sleaars. Editors: As life insurance through the numerous agencies or Eastern companies has be come a very Important business in our city, not only as concerns the companies, but those who are Insured, it behooves the publlo to be on their guard against fraudulent representations. In looking over your advertising columns I notice the statement of an Eastern company whose assets amount to mu lions, and in connection therewith It gives two In stances of Its equitable settlement of policies, which it would lead us to infer had been legally for felted. Now, as I am cognizant of a case where It has compelled an individual to seek through tne medium of the law redres f r the non-payment of a policy of $r.ooo, which was regularly issued by the agency In this city, through ltt agjnt and medical examiner, I feil dihposeato ventilate tne subject at an early period, wl h natMH, act, and ihiure. Able counsel hag Ueu employed (and acMitloual if necessary) to show up this concern to our courts of justice, and thereby prevent the unwary rrom falling into a similar trap. The quibble resorted to In order to avoid payment of the policy will be abundantly exposed, but In the meantime the unfortunate holder will hare to await "the law's delay." The newspapers or New Yerk are now engaged in showing up the Life Insurance Fraud, and the de cisions or our courts dally exhibit the attempts or many or these'Artful Dodgers" to avoid the payment or their Just debts. JcsTrria. Life Insurance Alleged Misrepresentation A bert H. Wright . The Guardian Mutual Life Tn. suranee Cvmpanv This is one of fonr suits brought against various Insurance companies to recover the amount of policies Issued on the life of George Scbott. The whole amount of insurance on the lire of deceased was about $55,000, and in the former suits, as already published in the Herald, the verdict was in favor of the plaintiffs, all or whom, as Is plaintiff in this case, were creditors of the deceased. The defense In this case, as id the others, was that the insured misre presented the condition of bis health In answering the long line or questions put to him at the time the policy was taken out; he then claimed being afflicted with a malignant stricture, which Impaired his health and resulted in his death. The evidence was very volnmlnious, occupying, three days, but was purely medical and or ho interest to the general readers or the Herald. The Jury found a verdict in favor Of the Matntlff for 10,08-18. Aeie Ytk Herald. CITY ITEMS. Pinixr SASnis for the seaside is the settled fashion for young ladles and misses.

Turkish Sanltarjr Dues. The Secretary of Bute has transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury a letter from Baltazzl Ellen di, Charge d' Affaires of the Sublime Porte, enclosing the report of the Mixed Commission charged, more than two years ago, with the re vision of the tariff of sanitary dues in the Turk ish empire. The new regulations went Into operation the 13th instant. Every vessel from whatever country arriving at an Ottoman port shall pay a duty calculated on its tonnage, ac cording to the following rules: From one to five hundred tons, inclusive, 22 paras, and from 500 tons upwards, 12 paras per ton. In other words, every vessel pays 23 paras for the first 500 tons and 12 paras for the tons in excess of 500. The following are exempted from all sanitary dues except the pay of guards: 1. Vessels of war. 2. Vessels which have been forced to put into port, provided they engage in no commercial operations in the ports which they have entered. 3. Fishing vessels. The Southern Floods. An official letter received at the Treasury De partment from Monroe, La., June 13, says: Excessive rains have fallen throughout North Louisiana since the 14th day of April. Large portions of the parishes bordering on the rivers Mississippi, Ouachita, Red, and Black are under water. Bridges and ferry-boats have been car ried away. The mall routes have been aban doned, or if the mail-bags are carried through, they are first opened and relieved of all official packages. Thsse are left in some stable or out house to rot. Advices from Shreveport state that nothing has been received from this office since May 13. The prospect for a Cotton Crop is exceedingly discouraging. Planters in the swamps have been compelled to replant many times. In many cases, the last planting having failed, they have abandoned the enterprise. In more favorable localities the stem is so Indif ferent that No More than Half a Crop can be had. The prospect for corn Is equally unfavorable. The condition of the ground has prevented the planter from working. Weeds and grass have become deeply rooted, and threaten the little corn standing. The general prospect is gloomy. Political Agitation continues. The bitter feeling entertained by the largest portions of the whites towards the blacks and officers of the State government has become intensified In this immediate vicinity by the result of a recent local election. At any time within the last ten days a conflict seemed un avoidable. Threats have been freely indulged. Both parties are well supplied with arms and ap pear eager for the conflict. Bands of armed men are reported to be ready and only waiting for summons to begin the work of bloodshed. Law yers, doctors, merchants, planters, and officials attend to their various occupations with re volvers lying within easy reach. Notwithstand ing all this I trust the crisis Is passed, but should not be surprised If the difficulty culminated in bloodshed at any time. IEOM ThFwEST.
