TJIK B.
er ?ociety for the Prevention ot Gambling,
t ..Md more than three hundred gambling
' anloons during the year 18G8. It spent nearly
$44,000 in the employment of special detectives,
land tracked out the delinquencies of more than
ne thousand employes, mostly clerks, with
whom gambling was tbe first openly flagrant
step in wrong-doing. The Society does not
profess to be able to put a stop to gambling, but
Hnly to operate as a check. It iuforms employ
ers ishcther any of their employes gambU or
DOt, and, if so, to what extent. Whenever it
vtt's a chance, It deaU without mercy with the
. ropeTS-in." If it cen succeed in abating the
pernicious evils to which the day gambling
looses in Ivew Yoik give rise, It will Be biessed
with the prayers of every one who has ever felt
what It is to have the talons of a g?niblinjj-hell
proprietor fastened in him. Of these day gam

THE ABHE?T OF MB. BERGII
n a charge of cruelty to animals la the latent
dodge of the Dry Dock, East Broadway and
Battery Railroad Company. It is like arraign-
iug the Rev. Albert Unrnes on the charge of
spiritualism, or tbe Rev. Henry. Ward Beecher
for sectarianism. The fact is that on Saturday
Mr. Bergh insisted that one of the drivers on
the above-named line should proceed no further
until he had "doubled" his team, the roads
being in a frightful condition, aud the passen
gers in frightful disproportion to the strength
of the two spiritless-looking horses attaehed to
the car. Tbe driver was compelled to obey,
aud some half-hour's detention ensued, whereby
a long tiring of ears was blocked up, dozens of
. passengers were detained, and twenty or thirty
horses were kept standing in the cold. The
humane proprietor of the line in question
determined to turn the cards against Mr. Bergh,
t.rd made use of the equine sympathies of the
latter for the purpoie of dethrouitjr him. llr.
Beigh h:is been allowed time to consult with
his counsel. It is the passengers, quite as
much as tbe car conductors, who hiudor Mr.
Bergh in his kiridly labors.
THE LOEW BRIDGE
has been getting lower and lower every day.
By the time this paragraph, is read It will have
vanished forever. The photographer wfco plied
his trade there will ply it no more. I skould not
be surprised if he made for the vortex or dissi
pation, and went through what of life remains
for him, considering himself in the light of a
Hasted and ruined man.
THE CIJY'S 1088 JBY F1BB
for the year just ended .amounts to nearly
$1,500,000. Of 200 fires, 23 were incendiary, the
perpetrators of 17 of which have never been
. -discovered.
KEBOf FNK BXPlOfllONS
have lately become epidemic, and the epidemic
has occasioned such painful and remediless
results that great Interest attaches to an Inquest
lately held by Coroner Keenan. Tho case was
that of a girl who was fatally burned by the
explosion of a lamp containing keroslne. The
kerosene remaining in the can from which the
lamp had.teen tiled was placed in the hands
. of If. GuUeppe Tagliabue, together with some
or of the nam! kind, nurcha&ed at the same
place, for that purpose, by the Coroner
The oil wi then tested by Mr. Taglia
Vbue in a .pyrometer, an Instrument used
ior determines the density and .combustibility
of kerosrn and kindred Oils. 1M result oi bit.
Taeliabue's examination proves that the vapo,
rizlnr point of the oil ao purchased was 28
decrees below what it ought to have been, and
the burning point 30 degrees below; that It was
Almost pure benzine, and exceedingly dangerous
to burn in lamps. The coroner very properly
did not, with such .evidence before him, allow
the case to pass with impunity, but held the
manufacturers to bail in tbe sum o $5000 each,
and the retailer in tbe sum of $2500 to await tbe
ctiou of the Grand Jury.

(the "Pierced Eye," ct the "Arrow in the

1 aving been waited for one week, for the resto
i atlon of Madaae Rose Bell, who has been suf
fering fnom one of those severe indispositions
to which tbe artiste of 'ue footlights are so
liable. Of course every seat in the French
Tbeatre was taken, and after half-past nine,
when the general admission is half price, all
the standing room was gone loo. When I can
J keep away from the first nights of any new
Apiece, be it an Italian opera, a Broadway speo
scle, or a Bowery sensation. Put there are
evasions when one feels bound to assist. Such
an occasion was last night. In eplte of stage
-wait and sticking scenery, the first
performance was very good, To compress the
plot into a pargrapb, crew, or the

who, In oitfer to Mold marrying "Alexan
driver," celcW axkeiaan, pretends that
he has shot her through the eye, and secures
his Imprisonment. Subsequently he is libe
rated, and all parties are happily wedded. As
V Dindonstte," Boss Bell enters almost imme
diately, and with as captivating an Intro
ductlon as "Drogan." A hunting chorus, a
legend, an exquisite rondo for Desclaofas as
"Fleur de Noblesse, a man-alarms part for
Gobel, as idiosyncratic as his former one, and a
very sweet duet between "Dindonetto" (Rose
Bell) and "Alexandrlvore" (Carrier) in the third
act, are the chief points that will ere long be
whistled and organ-ground through tho princi
pal cities of the Union. Tbe size and applause
of last night's audience were a perfect refuta
tion of the scandal that opera bouffe is on the
decline.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Tub Historical Sociktt. Last evening the
annual meeting of tbeHistorloal Boolety for tbe
reception of toe reporla of the various com-
niniees waH neiu ai inoir rooms in the Atae.
B nm Building, J. William Wallaoe, Presi
dent, in the chair.
Tbe first report was from the Trustees of tbe
Publication Fund, wbloh was read by Joun
Jordan, Jr. The Trrmiees report a balance on
band of $2,185, and also j-eport that they were
not able to publish the first volume of the Penn
and Log tin correspondence, owing to many
additional letters coming to light, which from
their extrtme age are almost illegible. Whmi
completed it is estimated that the correspond
ence will comprUe three volumes of from four
to five hundred paces each, and thev will ore-
sent the most valuable historical oolleotlon of
letters, ever published in thts country, and will
throw mnoh light upon the history of I he Htale
of Pennsylvania fiom 1700 to 1750.
Tne Binding Fund reported that 498 volumes
had b en bound during the year.
Charles M. Mt.rrls, Eq., Treasurer, submitted
his report, 'which although not completed,
shows a nattering stale of the finances of the
Hoclety.
James Phrigley, Ksq., Librarian, presented a
very lengthy report, which shows that there
has been a considerable increase In the number
ot volumes In the library since lH6x -On the 1st
of January last there were 11,483 volumes on
hand.
Among tbe many valuableoontrlbntlona dur.
lrg the year was a complete set of The Gentle
man' MaaaUne, Including 1731 to 1854, compris
ing 1U9 volumes. Also, the contribution by
George W. Fahnestook of bis entire oolleotlon
Of pamphlets, valued at $10,0(10.
Among tne renew sent to tne society was a
fen ell sketch of Ueneral WashlKgton, taken In
777 by Charles Wilson Peale.
The gentleman w ho presented this gav4$200
for it at a recent sale. There is also a line old
clock, tbe peculiarly or its face and Its Internal
arrangements lndicatiug great age, and so
truthful witual, tbat It is evidently a gentle
man of ihe olden time. Attached to ttro face
area series of astronomical arrangements, the
meaning of which no one has been able to de
cipher. It Is believed to have been manufac
tured in Rootiand, and several geatlemeu are
now engaged in an effort to get at the history
of this venerable piece of mechanism.
Tl'e Liibrarlantrotnmend8 the appointment
of a Corresponding HtHiorlan in eaon county of
tbe Htate, who would feel swnlolently interested
In the great work to give a brief account of the
settlement of every Important town or oity
within tbe limits of the country. By this a
collection of manuscripts would be gathered
tbat wcu'd beof great service to tbe future his
torian, and prove to gentlemen beyond onr
clty;iiniitB that this to not a Philadelphia but a
Pennsylvania Institution. These reports might
embrace not only tbe judicial, medloal, and
theological blstorj, but llkewiseashort account
of the botanical aud mineral resources ,of eaon
county.
Tbe Librarian nrgns that something more
should be done to call public attention to the
wants and obiectsof the society. There Is no
doubt, be says, tbat there are many works of
rare value stored away in garrets anu otoer
out of-the-wav nlaces which should and might
occupy honorable positions on the shelves of
the socieiy.
A scries of resolutions expressive of the feel
ini? of the Hoclelv at tbe loss of George W
Pabnestock, Esq., who was killed at tbe late
collision on tbe Onlo river, were otlered and
adorned. They were eoconaeu wun aoio ad

kicked from bead to foot During the beating

Ah Inckndiary Pirb and Attempt to Blow a
Safe Open. At about half-past 11 o'clock last
night a cillr.en, while walking along Market
street, west of Nineteenth, saw smoke Issuing
from the one-story structure No. 1920, oooupled
by Donagby & Watt. He tried the door, bttt
finding It shut, proceeded to the rear of the
building and there found that the shutters had
been iorced open by a Jimmy, Smoke was
rusblngont of the open window In a volume.
He gave an alarm, and, some firemen coining
on tbe ground, extinguished the (lames with,
buckets of water. An examination of tne lute
rlor dlt-clnbed the fact that burglars had bean
at work, and bad attempted to blow open the
safe, which was lying on lis back. Whether the
fuse wblcb bad been need to ignite the powder
had set fire to tbe place, or whether the bur
glars bad done It to cover up their tracks, Is not
known. Fire Marshal Blackburn la investi
gating the matter.
An Appicakt for Police Honors. Ilia Honor
Mayor Fox has received many lotters from ap
plicants lor positions on the police force, but of
all the worst grammatically and every other
way of speaking came to band yeslerdaj'.
Tbe petition occupied two full sheets of fools
cap paper, and the writer, no doubt thinking
tbat all this wonld not be read, wrote a super
scription on tbe envelope, whloh was post
marked Jenklntown, Jan. 11, as follows:

every state to Reflate tblr hone afaras. wlo 1

It Is useless to say that his .Honor did not
spend the time necessary to decipher the manu
script which was enclosed within this envelope.
Licenser. The following additional licenses
were issued by the Mayor this morning: To
Matthias Kass and Henry Levi, pawnbrokers;
and to Arch Street Theatre; O'Neill's Hall,

Special Detjxxlch to The Evening Telegraph.
Wasoinotom, Jan. 12.
The Reconstruction Committee ,
met this morning and examined Messrs. 8ealy
and Holmes, of Georgia, concerning the affairs
in that Btate. Their testimony was, in all re
spects, similar to that heretofore produced
before the committee. It Is very doubtful 11 the
committee will agree to set aside the present
Btate government of Georgia, as the testimony
it not of a sufficient character to warrant such
a proceeding.
. tioneiral natter
will endeavor to get the floor as Boon as the
journal Is read, when he will dellvar. his speech
on the finances. It is spoken of by those who
have read It as an able effort.
Tbe Committee on Printing
has commenced to take testimony relative to
the stationery contracts of the Interior Depart
ment. They kave examined the Commissioner
of Patents, Foote, and Mr. McCormlck, dis
bursing clerk of the Patent Office. The testi
mony so far hews undoubted evidence of

pense of tbe company, and suoh misappropria
tion of the trust fund. If true, Is by statute an
indictable misdemeanor, therefore
JiMolvtd, tbat a committee of three members
of the House be appointed to investigate and
report at an eurly day whether the rnmors
of tbe foregoing are true, and If so a
copy of tbe report to be sent to tne Councils
of Philadelphia, in order that some measures,
leiial or otherwise, may be taken to aorreot tbe
abuse, prevent a repetition of It, and to promote
a; more efficient and disinterested administra
tion ot tba affairs of said railroad oompany;

Mr. Play ford, of Fayette, said that If an tn
dldaule offense had been committed, the

Mr. Beans (Bucks) hoped that tbe resolution
would be kicked out ml tbe House with merited

endorsed by Mr. 11 err (Dauphin), who quest
tlotied tbe power of the House to aot in tbe
matter. Mr. Kleckner bad oilered the resolu
tion from a sense of duty to the city of Phila
delphia and bis constituents.
Mr. Playford sold that officers of the road
would simply turn tbeir backs on the commit.
Mr. Davis, Philadelphia, was opposed to the
amendment because it would make a general
and roving couiujIshIou.
Mr. Hong, Philadelphia, should also vote
against the original resolution because be did
not tblnk It worthy or the attention of the
House. Tbe City Councils bad refused to aot.
Mr. Kleckner (Philadelphia) said that the re
solution bad aotuuliy passed one branoh of
Councils, and would have passed the other
branch if the officers of the road had not step
ped lu between the Investigation and the
Councils.
Mr. Beans (Bucks) moved to postpone Indefi
nitely, and the motion being seconded by Mr.
lit en (Schuylkill), was carried by a viva voce
vole.
There being but one vote apparently In the
negative,
Mr. Strang (Tioga) offered the following:
Kesoived, If tbe Senate coucttr, tbat tbe
Speaker and Clerk of the House be and are
hereby authorized to appoint as many addi
tional officers as are necessary to transact the
business of tbe House, uot exceeding twenty
seven in number.
Tbe resolution was urged by Messrs. Strang,
Davis, and other Itapublloan members, on the
ground of necessity, and was opposed by
Messrs Playford. Brown (Clarion). MoMuller,
and other Democrats, on the ground of being a
violation of the aot of last year limiting the
Diuuher of officers, and of being unnecessary.
The i t solution was agreed to.

Hiw Yobk, Jan. 12. The money market was
very easy in the forenoon at 67 per cent, for
call loans, but after meridian the demand be
came active, and tbere were transactions at
coin interest, and we did hear of exceptional
transactions at 1-82 and 1-10 per cent. The
demand was chiefly from small borrowers with,
mixed collaierals, and first-class firms found no
difficulty lu getting all tne money they wanted
at tbe legal rale lu currency. 8 80 P.M. The
money market was more active this afternoon,
aud tbe rates of interest udvanoed from 7 per
cent, currency to 7 per cent. 'gold, but at the
close was easier aalit. 1
Stocks at the Seonnd Board were heavy and
lower, being unfavorably affected by the tem
porary Hurry in tbe motif y market. Tne Gold
market, rlosed stendy at KlfaJ. Loans were mada
at 6 6-12(a,7 per cent for carrying. Tbe Govern
ment bond market was heavy and lower this'
afternoon the flurry in tbe money market,
and tbe report that the Treasury would sell ttve
millions of bonds, caused the downward move
ment. Mr. Vandyck has only $(100,000 to sell la

of this nmonnt being sold. Tbe stock market
at the close wus unsettled and generally lower
