Mr. President, Ladiks and Gentle men. We meet bare te-night, as we have en previous occasions, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of tbe organi zation et the Yeung Men'a Christian asso ciation. As we have time and again In tbe past outlined the successive steps of pro gress, we shall neither try your time nor patience by reverting te It again this even ing, but content ourselves with briefly sketching tbe events of the past year, with a momentary glance at the premises held out by tbe future. Tnls Is the eighteenth anniversary occa sion, and tbe prediction, made time and again in tbe past, that tbe association was an established fact and tbat It would show from year te ynar n gradual growth In use fulness and importance, la amply bus talned by the premising condition la which it is found at this time. Fer years old and young have looked with longing eyes for the time when we oeuld see our way olear for the employ ment of a general seeretary, and we are most happy te announce,' and shall take great pleasure In Introducing te you, tbe gentleman who has been called te that position. This important step forward 1 due of course, lirst, te the generous re sponse of the citizens ; and secondly, te the untiring efforts of Assistant State Secretary, McKee, who with the help of our mem bers presented the claims et the people. The canvass was closed Just before the Christmas Holidays, and tbe delay In se curing a secretary was occasioned by the dltlie ulty of finding tbe right man for tbe place, we believe the committee acted wisely, net only in moving' Blewly, but In tbnlr final choice. The sustaining membership list new em braces one hundred and ninety-three names, agcrerttlng a total amount sub scribed 01 1,852. Thirteen hundred and Bevnnly-seveu dollarjel this sum are an nual contribution, and remain in force un til revoked in writing by said contributors. Four hundred and bb only-five dollars are In one year subscriptions. Frem tbe foregoing result, tbe beard felt warranted In tmpleylng a general secre tary, and have secured tee services of Mr. W. S. Speece at a salary of 350 a year. The balance of the Income will be needed te meet the librarian'! and Janitor's salaries, books and papers for reading room, gas, fuel and ether necessary inclauntals. The receipts from our sustaining membership should reach net less tbau (2,000, and a, oemmltteo has been appointed with a view of raising it te that figure. A number of our cltlziuH who said tby would consider tbe matter, will be called en shortly ter theirtinal answer. Same portions of our building heretofore rented have been reserved for tbe use et tbe association In the enlargement of Its work, and an Increased activity in all lis branches may be looked fur during the present year. Oae of tbe featurca or the year Just passed, was the holding of the twentieth annual atate convention in our city. It was the largest ever held, three hundred and thirteen delegates batmr in attendance. The mingling el he many Christian young men among our ctllzsni created a renewed lntereit in our own association, and helped much in the forward movement new en tered upon. The association acknowledges its debt of gratitude te the people of our city for tbe hospitality extended te these three hundred strangers. The Ladles' Auxiliary, te which we ewe be roueb, continues wilb unabated vigor in looking alter the wants of our young men, and is recognized te day, by all of us, as tbe most important and useful factor in our organization. During the year it presented the association with a tine new piano, for whleh we thus publicly acknowledge our -gratitude, Tan president of tbe auxiliary, AtM. Wm. A. Heitahue, will submit a re- ort of lta operations, which will mere fully enlighten you as te the importance of this arm of service . Frem the treasurer's report we gather I ha following tacts: Received for aisoclatlea purposes, from January 23, 1SS7, te Jan nary 23, 1SSS, including a balance of $170 02 en baud at that dale, 860 01. The expendi tures for tbe same time were: Librarian, 360; Janitor, $120; gas 91.14; fuel, fur niture, taxes and Incidentals, 253 69; mak ing a total ei S32 S3; leaving a balance of 33 81. There were also recelved for library purposes from rentals, etc , 203 39. Te this must le added a donation et $100 from N. Kllraaker, esq , making the sum for tbe use et the library, 303 39. There were expended ter new books, reblndlner, eta, 30188; leavlsg a balanoe of 00 51. The total receipts from all soureas were 11,232 03, and the entire outlay, 1 137 71. Fer the information et all we would state lb it the association la entirely free from debt. The chairman et the library commlttee, Mr. A. F. Hestetter, furnishes us with the fqllewing Rial lilies for tbe last four years : April 1S31, te April 1355, visitors, 10,832 ; books read in rooms, 3,230 ; hooks taken out, 2 529.

Tnesplriiuil work of the association, in tbe bands of the deretlcnal committee, received proper attention through the means of gospel meetings for young men, held In our hall every Sunday afternoon ; also, a weekly service at the county pri son. In the latter work tbe committee was assisted by the college association. We also desire, In connection with this, te express the thanka of the association te Mr. Nathaniel Ktltnaker for his generous donation of ene hundred dellaiv, as well as te all ethers who have se freely subscribed toward the enlargement of tbe work. We have thus erltlly proaented te your notice a fowet the leading features of this institution, with which many of you are mere or leas idenlitled. Its past history Is an open book, but what of its future? Whether the new era which this anniver sary ushers in shall be one of continual growth and enlarged u-efulnts Is ler you te say. Give it your eympitby and sup port, even In a larger tueisure than In the past, and as its retiring president we can predlet for it the uabjuudu J hucejis 11 de serve. As the present is perhipa the las'.tlme we shall stand before you in this capacity we dealre te return thauks for the uulverfal kindness and respect with which we have been met upon all occasions. Te my fellow officers and members I thus publicly ex press my appreciation or their assistance, tdvlce and help, and 1 bespeak the seme ntmtyBid ler my successor. We also wish te give expression te our indebtedness for the ever ready and valuable sorvleea of tbe clergymen and press el tbe city. The new president, Mr, Fulton, needs no werda of iutroduetlon cr commendation from me ; you all knew him, and I only ask that you stand by and help blm with a portion et the means with which the Lord has blessed you, se that he may luoeeasfully carry jerward the Interests committed te his care.

J Ay or Hewitt, et New Yerk, Bald en Thursday that the Irish flag shall net be heiiUsd en the City hall en St, Patrick's Day. A. resolution erderlnglt te be heisted was pftsed unanimously at the list meet ing of tlie beard of aldermen, but tbe mayor holds the key te the situation. The beard of alderman In 1879 passed a resolution giving tbe mayor the power te order flags displayed en tbe City hall. The reason for their action at the time was because tbe assistant keeper of the City ball bad plaeed a 11 ig at half-mast en the occasion of tbe death of King Victer Emannel et Italy. Tbe Irish Reman Catholic church took se much eflense at It that the beard el aldermen took tbe power from tbe keeper and gave It te the mayor. In speaking of the matter Mayer Hewitt said : "The aldermen passed that resolution te please a foreign class. New they shall simply take a dose of their own medicine. The organizations wbleb parade en St. Patrick's Day are foreigners, and represent foreign idess. I shall net order up their flag te please that class." Big Fire la Philadelphia, The large nve-atery building Nea. 311 and 313 Arch street, Philadelphia, waa destroyed by fire Thursday night, and tbe City and St. Elme hotels, adjoining en the west and filled with guests, narrowly escaped de struction. The first fleer of 311 waa occupied by Copeland A Bacen, dealers in heisting and mining machinery, aud the remaining floors were occupied by tbe Geerge F. Blake Manufacturing company, "manufac turers of sheer. The first floors of 313 was occupied by William Ayres A Seu, dealers In blankets and horse furnishing goods,and the feui- upper floors by Sailer, Lewis dcCa, shoe manufacturers. Kvery thing in both buildings waa en tirely consumed, and tbe less will reach fully 350,000. Mere than lour hundred empleyes of the two shoe manufactories will be thrown out of employment until new quarters can be secured and new ma chinery can be placed In position. lie IJcIIutis Jobeion Outlty. Governer Beaver tells why be granted a reprieve te Samuel Jehnsen. He says : 1 granted tbe respite upon tbe strength of tbe statemenla made te me by the prisoner's counsel that they were Investigating ether cluea that would probably lead te the arrest et ether pirteup. These clues are baaed upon the story told by tbe convict Myers and ethor corroborating circumstances that have since come te light. I thought It would net de any barm te prolong tbe man's life for seven weeks mere, because there is a chance of capturing his accomplices. I thoroughly believe John John Jehn eon te be guilty of complicity in the mur der, but I also believe tbat no had one or two confederates. Te my mind it appears that there is a much better chance te cap ture his companions while Jehnsen Is abeve ground than when he Is dead. 1 have carefully examined all the evidence tbat has been taken in tbe case, and I have reached the conclusion that Jehnsen was one of the party that murdered Mr. Sharp less. Found Ueact la lied. Frem Ihi Manhelm Sentinel. Thursday morning Mrs. Mary N.Brandt, widow of the late Daniel Brandt, was found dead in bed at the residence of her son-in-law, D. F.

Jthn J Ingalli, JVetideni pre ttm Unlttd Btatti Stnate, Wathinglen : "Sin : 1 bave Just received a copy of tbe Congressional Jieeerit containing the official report of your recent speech, In whleh you net only Insult the chief magis trate et tbe nation, but attempt te dishonor the memory of both Hanoeck and McOlel lan by naming each of them as having been an 'ally of the Confederacy.' As a aurviving member of General Hanoeok'a staff, who shared with blm the lolls and tbe triumphs of tbe civil war, and as a friend whom be honored with his confidence and affection te the end of bis blameless ll.'e, I cannot bear In silence your brutal blew at my old commander. I must, therefore, as a soldier and a citizen, pretest agslnst any utterance that Implies an Impeachment of bis loyalty te bis country. 11 When tbe summer flowers bloom again en tbe graves of tbe berole dead, a quarter or a century will bave passed since the battlefield of Gettysburg became the arena where the valor et the North and Seuth alike Illustrated the greatness of tbe Amer ican people, and commanded the admira tion of tbe world. The name or that peace ful Pennsylvania village, baptized anew with their mingled bleed, was thus made Immortal as tbe symbol of a national power equal te any en the earth. The crowning victory or mat com eat naa proved, under Providence, as dearly as though we bad beard tbe voice of Ged himself, that these prlnelples of liberty and law, and fraternity and union, In earnest devotion te which Hanoeck lived aud died, areeasential te the welfare of mankind. Te tbla result, the blgbestbuman achievement of this eentury, Hanoeck contributed mere than any ether soldier In tbe field. " When Hevnelds fell en tbe mernlna- of tbe first day, it was Hancock whom Meade selected te take supreme oemmsnd In front, with power te cheese the ground where tbe great battle et tbe war aheuld be fought out. It was Hancock- who planted bis colors en Cemetery Ridge, where be rallied our disordered troops and formed the lines en these hlstorle heluhts bsvend which the rising tide of the rebellion never- fiassea. xt was Hancock who turned mpendlng disaster Inte vlotery by tbe counter charge whleh saved tbe honor el tbe army en the evening of tbe seventh day. It waa Hancock who repulsed that grand as. aault, the most brilliant in the annals of tbe war, when the flower of the army of North ern Virginia withered and died before the fortltude of the army of the Potomac In tbe final struggle or tbe third day. It was thus tbat Hanoeck wen at Gettysburg: a triple crown of slery. " Naturally enough both beuses of Con gress adopted ajelnt resolution te tbe effect tbat In addition te the thauks whleh bad been voted te tbe officers and soldiers or the Army or the Potumae 'for tbe skill and berole valor which at Gettysburg repulsed, defeated and drove back, broken and dis pirited, tbe veteran army et the rebellion, tbe gratitude et tbe American people, and the thanks of their representatives In Con gress are likewise due, and are hereby ten dered te Majer General W. 8. Hancock for bis gallant, meritorious and conspicuous sbsre in tbat great and deci-lve victory.' "In view et Hanceck'n constant and con spicuous service te his country for mere tusn forty years, sealed as tbat service was by bis own bleed, and In view of bis pro verbial purity of cbaiacter, it is amazing hew any man could rise in the Senate chamber te defame bis memory. But, having had tbe audacity te de se, tbe least that you new can de In reparation et this caiel wrong, alike te Hancock's memory and the patriotic sentiment el tbe country, is te arise again in the Senate chamber and make a full retraction and apology, "Respectfully yours, "Finlkv Andersen." Mr. In(lU Defiant. Senater Ingalls is preparing a reply te the open letter of Co.'eael FInley Andersen, of New Yerk. In It the senator will explain precisely what be meant by referring te General Hanoeck as "an ally of the Con federacy," The ttlilel Vall.y te Build a New Itead.

The cost per mile for grading and bridging will average 0,000 and 1,500 mere per mile will be added by the cost of rails and the expense of laying them.
