THE CAUSE WHY SOME VESSELS ARE L03T.
B To tbi Editor of Evening Telegraph:
Lately the people hare bcei startled by reading
some thrilling accounts of shipwreck, or of ves
sels foundering at sea during the recent gales.
Some exclaim, "What dreadful weather tlioro
hai been at sea; the heaviest gales that were ever
known !" This li not the case; the weather at
ca, about this time of the year, is generally
boisterous, and we may always look for hurri
canes from August to October.: Tii ey generally
pass through the Tropics, following along the
course of the Oulf Stream close to Cape Hat
tcras, thence northeasterly to the banks of New
foundland, and the never-failing mercurial
barometer will alwajs indicate the approaching
storm to tho experienced navigator.
No doubt you have seen a ship lying at our
wharves, nicely painted, yarda squared by their
lifts and braces, rigaing tarred down, and
everything in apparent good order, and in fact
looking almost liko a picture. Such a ship as
this often gives th schoolboy the notion of
following tho sea, aud he longs to bs a sailor or
captain of that ship; but, alas I "Paint and
putty make fine ships."
i That ship, my readers which is the case
many times on her arrival in home port,
the Captain notified his owners that his ship
required caulking or other necessary repairs
preparatory to going to sea again. Tbe owners'
reply is: ''Captain, we wish to load you imme
diately; tho markets are good abroid, aud you
must load and sail on such a day, and the
weather no doubt will be tine this voyage, and
on your return labor and material will be much
lower, and then we will give your vessel a good
overhauling."
The merchant, of ourse, is fully insured.
The Csptaln is a poor man, with a family de
pending on him, at a monthly pay of $75 to
$125 per month. Now, this Captain knows that
his ship is not in good condition to perform
the intended voyage; nevertheless, he is obliged
to go; for, if he refuses, there are always twenty
others to take his command at a much leas
salary than he is getting. He dare not inform
tbe Insurance companies, fearful tiiat other
merchants will not employ him; and in some
cases, if he did, it would not receive much
attention, as mnny of tho merchants are direc
tors of insurance companies.
Now, this ship gets to sea and encounters
heavy gales;he springs a leak ; the ere w becomes
exhausted by pumping, tho luak gaining on
them, and finally are obliged to abandon tbe
ship. By Divine Providence, after being on a
raft or in a boat, and enduring much suffering,
they are picked up by another vessel and landed
sately. The Captain makes a protest on landing,
and hastens to the owners, and assists thim
materially to get their insurance on the ship
and cargo.
After which, the Captain asks the owners for
another eblp; the reply many times is, "Captain,
vessel property does not pay, and we thins we
will get out of tbe shipping business; but we
will inquire among our friends, ani if we can
get you a ship, will be happy to recommend you."
No doubt this Captain bus lost all his personal
effects and nautical instruments, etc., which
took him some years to collect, and the owners,
after getting all their insurance on the vessel,
which no doubt was insured for more than its
real value, will not contribute to even a portion
of the Captain's loss. A Shipmaster.

Improvements on Eighth Street. We
shall resume our dcicrlp'ion of the Improve
ments by notlcinir, in the first place, the elestant
newly titted-up store ot tho Epen Brothers, at
No. ii North LiRhth street. The build inp, three
stories in bright, has been thoroughly reno
vated and modernized. The heavy front to the
lower story has been removed and a light Iron
and plate-Rlas put in Us place. By-the-way,
how very essential these plate-glass windows
seem to have become to sbowoif goods to a
proper advantage. Allowing the light to pas?
through almost absolutely unobstructed, every
thing in the windows seems most beautitnlly
brightened up, and shows olf to the best advan
tage. Besides this.tney are really much stronger
and more lasting than the old style .of bulk
windows, with their small panes and heavy
sashes. Great pains (panes?) are taken to
render the windows more attractive, and the
stores tbeiuselves lighter and more comfortable.
Espcn & Brethers have spared no exertions
to make their establishment as com
fortable and as inviting as a lavish
expenditure of money, combined with a rare
display of good taste, could obtain. They bave
succeeded. A better lighted, better ventilated,
and handsomer place could not be found In tne
stieet. Their stock conforms to their building,
and Is well worth a visit. Their trade Is in laces
and embroideries, lace curtains, etc. They do
a large importing business, and sell at whole
bale quite extensively. Some ten or fifteen
thousand dollars have been expended in im
provements, and the building now commands
more tban three times as much rent as it did
a lew years ago. Those whose taste is tor
the light and the beautiful, we would recommend
to pay the Messrs. Kspen Brothers a visit. It
is almost bewildenn? to look over tho rich and
costly embroideries, with their artistical and
intricate designs and patient elaboration of de
tails. One almost wonders at these triumphs of
human skill and diligence that are here so lavis.ily
displayed. Here the most fastidious tastes can
be satisiied, bo endless are the varieties of pat-
lerne uuu si) ics.
There is a new institution on the street, and
one that bids lair to attain a popularity as
great as it is ceserved. We refer to tbe Staten
Island Dyeing and Cleaning Establishment.
This Is a branch of a New York house, and
although but recently established, has attained
u great popularity. We slopped in there the
other day, and Horn the way the ladies patronize
it, we should ludge that it will not be long
before they Und that their line accommodations
are inBulliclert lor their extensive orders. Their
place is newly fitted up, at a cost of some
eight or ten thousand dollars, and presents a
light, cheerful aspect, that is very well calcu
lated to arrest tbe attention. As Is usual with
the stores along Ibis street, they bave tbe
modern plate glass bulk windows. Thev occupy
the building with their extensive business,
which is earned on in a very succeastul way. It
ia a great consolation to know that the ladies,
when tbeir dresses have become a little laded,
or tbe color has gone out of style, can have
their beauty lenewed and their colors changed
to almost any ot tbe hues of the rainbow. "S
great is tbe skill attained in this dyeing that
even delicate ehados of moire antique can be re
colored and renovated, so as to appear In all
their pristine beauty. It cortainly makes tho
money pockets of husbands loel better when
tbey (the husbands) can see a way by which
their wives can obtain a new dress made of au
old one. It is an Institution which we Ameri
cans ouht to patronize,- and is worthy of all
the success that can attend it. The Company,
as we have before observed, have not long been
located in the street, but in tbe short time tbey
have been there, they seem to have attained a
moHt unusual popularity.
We will now turn to tho store occupied by
Belcher & Ueed, at No. 34. Tbe improvements
in this establishment were commenced early in
last January, and have been but recently com
pleted, the present proprietors removing into It
on the 3d of last May. Tho entire building has
been rebuilt and renovated in the most thorough
manner. It was but a small two and one-half
storied building before, but is now one of the
lines t and most imposing stores in the square.
The buildine is owned by Mr. William Warnock.
whose establishment was torso many years so
well known on the street as tbe leading retail
house.
belrher & Reed have thoroughly refitted the
inteilor, in a style which does great credit to
tneir tanto aud judgment, and eviuces a proper
regard for the coniiort ol those with whom they
have dealings. We cannot avoid, in passing, to
notice the beauty of the interior of their store.
Here may be seen the most beautifully rich
and costly Bilks, dress goids, and all kinds of
dry goods ot the latest styles and finest quali
ties. Tbe clean, well-lighted rooms, with their
lolty ceilings, and admirably arranged counters,
are well calculated to invite purchasers to enter.
Tbe building a few years ago did not bring one
half the rent it now commands, and it could
bring at least one-half more than it does.
The Weather of the Week. We sup
pose that the week which closes to-day is to be
dign bed with the title of Indian Summer,
although the eaily hours ot this morning re
sembled an Indian Winter, or some such anoma
lous state of the weather. We give below the

nized as one he had lost In a mysb-rioKS manner
come time belore. He stepped Inside, explained
the circumstance ol the case, and demanded
bis property of Ruil'erty. The latter lefused to
render up to Cufear the thine that was Ca sar's,
and consequently he was arretted on the charge
of receiving stolen property. He had a heariua

CHABXES BUR SHAM CO.,
No. 119 8. TENTH Btrset, Philadelphia.
An Assault and Batikrt and At
tempted 8tictdk. Tbere whs considerable of
a row in Heath utreet, near Tweltlb and Poplar
streets, yesterday morning. Au unfortunate
croatur". nam d Brldat t Brady, who Is subject
to fits of insanity, got into a frenzy, and seizing
a piece of a bed-post, beat her attendant, Mary
Burk, aged seventy vears, over the head with it.
The cries of Mr. Burk brought assistance, but
not until she had been beaten proity badly about
the bead, causing several deep gashes, from
hfch tbe Mood flowed freely. On exara'natlon
it was found that the skull had not bo-n frac
tured, although there were several perceptible
dents in it.
. The uniortnnute crenture Braly was arrested,
und committed by Alderman Fitch to await the
result of Mrs. Burk's Inlttries. Alter sho was
committed to her cell this morning. Brldiot
lirady attempted to commit suicide, by cutting
her throat with a piece of glas. Alth'outrh tbe
wound bled freely, she Is not considered dan
gerously hurt.
Robbing an Isolated Sn ant y. Three
voting fellows, about eighteen or nineteen years
old, were arrested tor lorcible entrance into
and robbing a small shanty, which Is kept as a
cigar and eating stand, and carrying olf some
cigars. They srave the names of John Williams,
Ceoiee Vincent, and Henry Sinclair, and are
supposed to be the same parties who broke into
the same place some time since, and robbed it
ot over thirty dollars. The Bhanty is situated
near tbe Gray's Kerry Bridge, on the west side
of tbe river, and is isolated Irom the rest of the
houses, and Is kept by a man named James
Collins, who does not sleep in It, but generally
closes it about dark, before he goes home. The
three thieves were taken before Alderman
Allen, who committed tbem to answer.
A Fish Stobv. James Mooney is one
of those men who go down to tbe sea in ships;
in common language, he is a sailor. Walking
along the wharves this morning, James saw a
tine barrel of fish that looked very tempting to
his eyes. As luck would have it, a pusd-cart
was clo6eby, so James dumped the barrel of
tihh into the push-cart and made off with it.
Unfortunately, Otlicer Wright, of the police, ob
served his piratical movements, and arrested
him in his career on Delaware avenue, above
Market street, and escorted him to Aldermau
Hurley. After the hearmir. In whlrh n nn.
peaied that the fish was the property of a Mr.
iu-seuuiougu, tames was committed in default
ol $500 bail to answer for his offense.
Not Caught Soon Enough. Yesterday
morning, Otlicer Brown, of the Dolice foree. ar
rested a man by the name of William Sulth for
tne larceny oi $187 ana a silver watch from a
lady. The watch and the pocket-book th it had
contained the money were found, but the
money was gone. He paid that he had been
compelled to spend it. Smith, it appeal s. is
one of tbe lowest of the low specimens of hu
manity that inest our city. It is said that he is
so bad a case that he could not bn An v nrnmp.
The articles were stolen some davs sincp. and
the thief has lived high ever since. He had a
hearing before Alderman Fitch, who held him
to answer the charce of larceny.
Lakceny of a Pocket-Book. That
the way the charge reaJs on the police rept .t;
but anybody would reasonably suppose thnt it
was more for what tho nocket-book enntninori
than for itself that the thief committed the theft.
It, in lact, sounds something like the defense of
the negro who picked up a rail upon which were
several fat turkeys, which he had no idea of
taking. George Vincent stole a pocket-boot,
Which is stated to have contained anmo "ronrl
rhino," and was arreeted for the offense, and
taken before Alderman Cloud. Viner-nt. tuna
held in $1000 bail to answer.
B.Scott, Jr.. has iust closed one nf tho
latgest sales of works of art which has ever
been held in this city; the gallery was crowded
to excess, and the audience very recherche. The
bidding wa3 very animated throughout. On ac
count of many not being able to get in the
GitliCtv. the Messrs. Viti Brothers will nfrnr fnr
sale on Tuesday mornlnir next, at 11
the Gallery, No. 1020 Chesnut street, the con.
tents of five cases which arrived too Inte for thn
special sale of the nth: and we would advise nil
1 overs ot art to attend the sale.
An Ugly Batch. Robert Robinson was
arrested ou tbe chare e of assault and battery,
and carrjiug concealed deadly weapons. It
appears t bat ho and two ot tiers, Cornelius De
Groot and Walter Bourne, got Into a general
row at Eleventh and Coatcs street, about mid
night last nieht. A police oiheer undertook to
arrest Robinson, when it is alleged he drew a
billy,- and strjek the officer. Tbe other two
men then attempted a forcible rescue of Robin
son. Ihey were all three arrested, and held to
answer by Alderman Fitch.
FTA S'weet Tooth. James Perdu was in
terrupted this morning whilst engaged in a
sweet speculation. It appears that the same
James is gated with a sweet tooth, and conse
quently the sight of sugar or other saccharine
commodities Generally overcomes what little
remnant of honesty there is left in him. This
morning he opened a box of sugar on the wharf,
and was busily engaged in absorbing its con
tents into a bag, when he was arrested and taken
before Alderman Hurley, by whom he was com
mitted to ans",er In th nni of SftOO.

Nevln is one of the most eljqueut divines of the
Presbyterian Church. The discourse should be
listened to by as many of the young men of the
city as can make it convenient to attend.
Not Trustworthy. Chauncey Leonard
was arrested at Ninth and Lombard streets on
the charge ,of defrauding a man of some $200.
It appears that some man had given him the
$200. which he had obtained as bounty, to keep
lor him, and Leonard, it appears, kept It for
himself; at leant, that Is the plaintiff's story.
Ltonardwas held to bail by Alderman Hurley

Sw uuu was nerved on the Board of Police by the
Secretary of State at a late hour on Thursday
nixht, ordering them to appear before him at
Annapolis on Monday next, 10 auswor char ires
against them. What their response will be ta
UDknown. They were In consultation with their
counsel to-day, but decline making publlo their
determination. One of the counsel has visited,
Annapolis for the purposo if examining the
charges against them. The feeling ot a majority
ol the Unionists is against the (Join missioner?
paying any attention to Swann's order.
They advise them to stay quietly in their
office, discharge tbeir duties, to act altogether
on the defensive, and, if Swann attempts vio
lence, to meet lorce with force. Several ex
milttary officers called to-day on Mayor Chap
man and the Police Commissioneis and tendered
their services. To-night a large meeting of
veterans representing the "Boys in Blue" was
tcld, and presided over by Brieadier General
Woollcy, who advised them to stand shoulder
to shoulder in this contest, as they had done la
the field.
Colonel Forthz said that the meeting was
called by the pei mission of the Commander of
the "Boys in Blue," Major-General Dennlson,
for the purpose of takuisr measures to support
the regularly constituted authorities of the city,
and of thwarting Swann's effort to place the
Rebels in power. Committees were appointed
to canvass the city to-morrow and obtain the
names of all who will support the Commission
ers iu any emergency, and to report to the
"Boys in Blue" at once. The following address
was unanlmouijlj oirreed upon: .
