DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
A Silk rectory Bnrnrd Down In YFeat
rblliMlelpnlav A M envy sim.
At 3 15 this morning an alarm of Ore was
founded for West Philadelphia, and the firemen
proceeding in the direction indicated, discov
red the extensive silk factory of Mrs. Thomas
Ilarrop In flames. The apparatus irat put in
working order and water poured on the fire as
quickly as possible; but it had obtained such
Headway that it was impossible to save either
the baildlDg or its contents. The structure,
was Minuted In the rear of Chesnut street,
between Forty-third and Forty-fourth, was 130
feet by 50 leet, and three stories and a half in
height.
The first floor was occupied by Mr. Holt,
manufacturer of coverlets, and in his apartment
the fire originated, but how it is not as yet den
tiitely known. lie had an insurance of aboat
$6000 on his stock, which will cover his loss.
The remainder of the buildlni? was occupied
by Mrs. Thomas Ilarrop as a Bilk factory. This
lady saved nothing. She values the ma
chinery used on her premises at $40,000 and the
stock on hand at 96000, which is only partially
lnsnred. . . . . .
The building, the fixed macmneryand the
lot belongs to George Wood, Esq., whise
loss Is pretty extensive, though it Is thought the
Insurance is sutlicient to cover the damage.
Of the structure, this morning nothing re
mains ezcept the bare walU, the floors having
been completely burnt through, and the rem
nants of the machinery are in one confused mass
ia the cellar.
In connection with this fire, there was an
Instance showing how highly developed are the
JnUincts of some ot the' bruto creation. Mrs.
Ilarrop is of English connection, and the society
in which she moves give an annual festival.
I. Rst nluht was the occasion of this event, and
Mr, ilarrop and her family repaired to the
houne of a neighbor, where the festivities were
to take place. Prior to departing, two of the
daughter?, as was their usual custom, went
through the mill and saw that everything was
right.
A. few minutes before 3 o'c'ock this morning
the party was interrupted by the entranco of a
dog belonging to Mrs. Ilarrop, who ran towards
that lady howling and whining, and commenced
jumping upon her. Not realizing that anything
was the matter, she excluded him from the
louse. Here he kept up his howling, and In a
few minutes re-entered the room, and repeated
bis former gyration?. Be was again thrust out,
but continued the note of warning. The party
was thereupon broken up, and on the way home
Mrs. Ilarrop was notified that her mill was
on fire.
Mr. Wood has an insurance of $10,000 on the
building and machinery in the Rovol, which
will nearly cover the loss. The loss of Mrs.
Ilarrop, which includes considerable material
belonging to other parties, will reach $30,000,
which is part'ally lueured in the Royal aud
ther companies. Mr. Holt was fully Insured.
CITY CRIMINAL CALENDAR.

This morning Aldermim Beitlcr sent William
Hums and Frank McCormick, two lads, to the
Bouse of Befuge, they being disorderlies and
having no homes. Burns, it seems, was em
ployed by a news-dealer at Ninth an i Chesnut
streets, but, on account of some improprieties,
was discharged. On Sunday Burns, with a party
of boot-blacks and news-boys, appeared at that
corner and annojed the dealer to such an extent
that he was compelled to call in the services of
a policeman, who arrested the two named. Oa
the hearing, It appearing that the accused had
no homes, cr, if they had, that they never visited
them, the magistrate concluded to make the
above disposition of them.
Bernard Umbracker was arrested yesterday
for assaulting a German named Uirardln at
Twenty-third and Market streets. It is alleged,
that the accused struck Girardin la tbe face
with his fist, felliner him to tbe pavement, bis

was held in $1000 bait for a further hearing by

Installation of Itlnhop Sbanahnti At
JlnrrinbiirB;.
We learn from the tola'. Guard that Right
Bev. Jeremiah Hbanahan was last Sunday morn
ing Installed as First UUhop of the new Catholic
lUoccte of Uarrlsburg. Tbe ceremonies were
imposing and impressive, and took place in St.
Patrick's Church, in HturisDurg. At 10 o'cIock
in tbe morning, the hour at which the ceremo
nies commenced, every seat was taken and all
tbe aisles were tilled, aid many individual:,
men, women, aud children surrounded the open
wii dows, on the oursule, to gain a view of the
grand ceremonial rites and loinis.
On reaching the church, the procession was
greeted with a salute, the Te J)eum Laudamus,
oy the choir. The Bishop knelt on a prie dmi,
and the Pastor, Bev. P. Maher, presented him
with a crucifix, which he kis.ied as a sign of his
mission to pieach Christ and Him crucified.
Then having received the aspersorium or
sprinkler, he first sprinkled himself, and then
the clergy. iTnen the Pastor presenting him
with the censer, Bishop Shanahan put incense
in the thurible, and was incensed in recognition
of his digr.ity as Prelate. The proce-blon than
proceeded to the altur; arrived there, the Bishop,
kneeling, prayed. In the meantime, the Pastor,
standing on the Epistle (or lett-hand) side, facing
the Bithop, sang several vehicles, rssponded
to by the reverend clergy. The Bight Kev.
Bishop then repaired to his Throne, where the
clergy of his diocese, as an expression of their
fidelity, m turn, kissed his episcopal ring. Then
was sung ths Anttphon: "Well done, good and
faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful
over a tew thing?, I will place thee over many."
Then followed the veraicle: "The Lord con
ducted the just man by straight paths and
showed him the Klngdo n of God." After this
tbe bUhop went to the Epistle (left hand) side
of the altar and sang a raver in honor of St.
Patrics, the patron of the chuich.
The Bishop, after im parting his solemn bene
diction upon his people, proceeded to vest lor
Pontifical Mass, at which he was assisted by
Bev. P. Maher, late pastor at Hnmsburg, as
assistant priest, and ol her ot the Catholic clergy.
After the singing of the Gospel by the deacon
of the mass, the Bight Bev. Dr. O'Hara, Bishop
of 8cranton, proceeded to the foot of the altar,
and, after Invokiag the aid of the Holy Spirit,
delivered the sermon.
On the conclusion of the sermon, the Mass
continued, according to the forms prescribed by
the Roman Missal, an til the end, when, previous
to Imparting hu benedictioa, tbe Bight Est.
Bishop Shanahan delivered an address.
A PAMPERO SQUALL.
Great Lon of Life mul Property lu the
Argentine I'oulederution.
Tbe storm that buist over Buenos Ayres on
Thursday nii?ht, August 13, was one of the mojt
violent and attended wlih the greatest loss of
lite known for some years. The day had been
UhUBUallv sultry, and nbout sunset a thick cloud
westward porlebued iiie coming pampero. At
10 P. M. tbe Ibumler and llKUtnlDtt buiran, and
soon came the rusbiug wind and torrents ot
rain, which lusted altogether about forty
minutes. As soon as the storm lulled those who
ventured out ot doors found the streets con
verted into rivers, with a current of water seve
ral feet deep. At the same time the lightning was
exceedingly eraud. Tbe city was at every flsu
lighted up as clear as in davlight, and this dis
play of electricity coutinued till alter midnight.
Happily tbe veeselB in port had had timely
notice of the coming storm, but the smaller
craft of the Italian lightermen were over
whelmed by the catastrophe. These boats, by
reason of the low tide, were all aground in
the Boca channel, and the hurricane suddenly
caps zed nine and sank two others, causing iha
loss of over tLirty lives, all Italians. The
Austrian lighter Librea, and two belonging to
Sor. Serrano, were amorg those lost; one poor
master, with his wile and sister, perished. An
Italian polacre is supposed lost, Outnotknoim
fur certain; a brig near the guard ship,
nationality cot known, was capsizea. Tbe mail
steamer Arno got along all right, and hopes
were entertained that the steamer City of
Brussels, with 250,000 on board, had escaped
harm, as she is about due. As far as could be
irarned the railways were quite uninjured, but
the amount of damage to private property in the
city and suburbs was very great; the force of the
whirlwind is generally considered to have been
equal to that ot the greut fit. JOjepU storm of
llarch, 1866.
In Baraccas the destruction was also great.
The neighborhood of tbe Parque had some
walls blon down and houses unroo'ed. It la
remarkable that Mr. Jackson's wall, about which
he bad a lawsuit with the municipality, was
blown down, and the wall of the same gentle
man's property la Baraccas was blown down a
couple ot years ago in the same way. Mr. Tur
meau reported the dumage at his residence,
Hong Kong Lodge, in the Calle Santiago del
Estero, as considerable, aud estimated at
110,000. A wall fell in and destroyed bis out
houses, killing a number of Cochln-Chlna fowl.
Mr. Parody's school was at first thought to have
been struck with a thunderbolt, but it was
lound to be the roof of u neighboring shed,
which caused a general smash in its descent,
carrying away a chimney and filling the place
with debris. Fortunately no one was killed.
The southern line did not suffer. But the
greatest damage seems to have occurred in the
neighborhood of tbe Plaza Constltuclon and
near tbe Corrales, houses and puesioa having
been bodily carried away. The birraca of bt.
Arias is a heap of luius, the roof havinc been
blown otf to a distance of thirty yards, and all
Its debris fallen m an adjoining yard, where
Mr. Arias had a depot of 1700 arrobas of wool,
for which he had refused $55, currency, the
day before. His loss is calculated at $200,000,
currency. The spleudid barraca that was In
course of construction, belonging to Mr.
Ferieiico Both, was alsti completely destroyed,
and all its walla and tbe roof are on tbe ground.
$300,000 is the eafmu ed loss. Mr. Prange's
at d Mr. Cerranda's barracas also suffered
greatly. All the carrela' in the Plaza were upset,
aud prcfeutel a melancholy sight. One ot
Messrs. Casares' fine now vessels went to the
bottom at tbe Boca.

General Grant,
WisntNBTOH, Sept. 22. General Rawlins has
received a letter from General Grant, at Galena,
stating that he will be in Washington about the
lGlh proximo.
Ills Excellency
Governor Thomas Bwann, tho broad seal ot the
fctate of Maryland, is here, looking out ior his
own and tbe interests of the Democratic party.
Removing- Troopa from tbe South,
Ihe belief is current In certain political circles
here, that the rumored Indian troubles in the
West are not so formidable as represented, and
that the reports are exaggerated to give color
of necessity for the removal of troops to the
Plains from the Southern States, the more
effectually to enable the Eu-Klax organizations
to intimidate the lojal people aud prevent fair
elections in the South.
Advices from the Western Plain.
Despatch to the Associated Pre.
Washington, Bept 22. A communication was
received at tbe Indian Office this morning from
Iadian Agent Patrick, on the Upper Platte
river, dated September 16. It announces that
Spotted Tall and Swift Bear left for the Reserva
tion on the Missouri river, near Fort Randall,
with 180 lodges, 35 of which were Ogalallah
Sioux aed the remainder Brule Sioux.
They were furnished with provisions and
transportation by General Aucnr.
Ihe Ogalallah Sionx came to the agency
from the Republican Fork, under the conduct of
the "Man who walks on the ground;" but this
chief was killed by an Indian of his own tribe,
on tbe night of the 15th, during a drunken row,
and his band had to go away under Spotted
Tall. There are now left on the Republican
river, at the Upper Platte agency, "I wo
Strike," with about fifty lodges or Brule Sioux;
"Pawnee Killer" and "Whistle," with about
one (hundred and , fifty lodges of Ogalallah
Sioux; "Dull Knlle" and "Turkey Leg," with
one hundred and fifty lodges of Northern Chey
ennes. In accordance with instructions several mes
sages have been sent to these Indians, request
ing them to go to the new reservallon on the
Missouri river, but they refuse to go.
General Bradley started on the 16th instant,
with the 27th United States Infantry, to march
through the country of the Republican river
to the Union Pacific Railroad, Eastern divuion.
The Post Offlct Defalcation,
It Is thought that the Government will not
lose anything by the defalcation at the Post
Office Department, as Olmstead owns property
enough to cover the amount missing. In addi
tion to property In this city, he owned a large
farm near Beltsville, Md-, besides reveral acres
of land in North Carolina, for which the pur
chase money had been paid.
It is taid that the Government money in his
possession was raised only a short time ago to
pay notes which had been given for the North
Carolina lands. Several special deposits of
bonds, money, etc, in sums ranging from $100
to $1500, left with him by various clerks in the
Poet Office Department, were all found safe,
except one package, containing $2600 lu bonds
belonging to General Pettro, an old clerk of the
department. It is announced this mornlog that
he has been arrested in Philadelphia, but tbe
Post Office authorities have no such information.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Better Late than Kcver.
Washington, Bcpt. 22. Several Senator and
Bepresentallves of both parties arrived this
morning, supposing the session would have
continued to-day. 80 there would have been
more than a quorum In the House to-day If the
session had continued.
Tbe Dead-lock,
Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Rollins wereeiamloed
as witnesses before the Sub-Committee on Re
trenchment to-day, concerning tbe dead-lock in
the appointment of Supervisors.
Senator Edmunds, of the Committee, left last
nibt, leaving Van Wjck, Denton, Halsey, and
Jencies to continue the investigation.
The Humored Itiot.
Allowance should be made for the telegraphic
report from Augusta, Ga., representing that an
armed mob ot colored men had assailed the
whites at Camilla, as the agents of the Asso
ciated Press South are all ex-BeDels or Demo
crats, who distort everything to suit party pur
poses. Few here believe tbe story.
Appointments for Philadelphia.
Secretary McCulloch to-day appointed Wil
liam O. Kline and James Chambers storekeep
ers for Philadelphia, nnder the new tax law.
Both are Democrats, and were recommended by
Samuel J. Randall.
The Surratt Trial.
Conttnutd from our 8ttond Militlon.
Washington, Bept. 22. The following is a
copy of the demurrer:
"The United States, by its attorney, B. C.
Carrlngton, carries into Court and demurs to
the special plea filed by the defendant in tbe
above entitled case, and sajs the same Is insuffi
cient in law, because the President's proclama
tion theteln set forth, bearing dale July 9, 18G8,
excepts therefrom all such prrsons as may be
nnder indictment or presentment in any Court
in the United States, having competent juris
nlctloD.upon a charge of treason or other felony,
and because said plea does not show said de
fendant was not under indictment or present
ment as aforesaid at the time said proclamation
was made, and because the same is insufficient,
and for other good and sufficient reasons, and
because the proclamation set forth in said plea
does not apply to or affect the offense and offenses
charged and set forth in said indictment, and
because tbe same is in other respects In
sufficient, informal, and of no effect in law.''
Mr. Carrington addressed the court in support
of the demurrer.
Mr, Bradley, for the defense, mentioned that
the plea of a general pardon was sufficient,
and claimed the full benefit ot tbe proclamation.
It was lor tbe prosecution tosbotrinthe pro
clamation that tbe defendant came within the
class excepted from the amnesty.
Mr. Merrick-, for tbe prisoner, and Mr. Riddle,
of counrel for the prosecution, argued the ques
tions at issue.

correct version 01 trie A 11 ray.
Atlanta, Sept. 22. The particulars of the rio
at Camilla, as telegraphed from Bain bridge to
Augusta yesterday, and thence sent to the
Northern papers, are incorrect and exaggerated
Tbe following gives the account of both sides:
O. 0. Howabo, Brevet Major-General U. S. A.:
Tbe sub-agent of the Freedman'a Bureau tele
graphs to General Sibley, commanding the Dis
trict, the following:
Albany, Sept. 17. At 10 P. M. Ishmael Tun-
ior, a leedman, reported himself directly from
Camilla, Mitchell county, stating that he bad
left there at 2 o'clock P.M.; that an the fore
noon of that day he approached Camilla with
John Murphy, William R. Pearce (candidate for
Congress in the Second District), F. F. Putney
White, and about seventy-live colored persons,
llen route to Camilla, where Pearce andMur
phy were to deliver political addresses.
When approaching Camilla, the relator, being
in advance, was accosted by an armed and
mounted white man, who at first stated that he
was in search of a doctor to attend a freedman
who had been hurt by a falling tret, but who
subsequently stated he was a courier, and
advised the relator and others of the party who
had overtaken him not to go to town; that the
people there were determined that the radicals
should not speak in Camilla; that notwith
standing tbe warning the party moved towards
Camilla, when ihey were met by the Sheriff and
a pobse, who accosted Captain Pearce, and who
was assured by the latter that he designed to
and should speak in Camilla on political sub
jects. The Sheriff endeavored to dissuade him,
telling him plainly that the people would not
permit it.
Tbe Sheriff then went back to Camilla, and
again returned, saying be had done all in his
power to dissuade tbe people from viclance, but
wltbout avail; tbat tbe party then moved on to
tbe town: that Pearce and Putney eutered the
town aid demounted from tbe buggy, and
bitched tbsir horses at the Court-bouse; tbat as
tbe watron containing the music or tbe party
entered tbe town, It was Urea npon by a
mourned white man who had first accoitod him.
and bv several other wbite men; that tbe freed-
men then started to escape to tne wood; tnat
Pearce attempted to rally them, calling on them
not to fly; and that the colored men being un
armed would not stop.
The relator being wounded, dashed out of the
town, pafeecl tbe Ireedmen on foot, and part the
musicians, who bad abandoned their wagon: tbat
Murpb j aud Philip Jorner, In a bupgy, aUo drove
rapidly awav towards Albany; that the relator
dashed ahead of them; that when about seven
miles from Camilla, the butrgy containing Mur
phy and Jorner was overthrown by four or live
white men, mounted and armed; that the buegy
was stopped; that one horse dashed recklessly
op the road towards the relator, who saw the
pursuers around tbe bugsy, aome of them dis
nionrtfd, and that he then came as rapidly as
puijle to Albany.
