TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1869.
irrat or TkPfiMti Tn Fi.iout or titk "Pkt
tass." Ystrday afternoon a nest of sky-larks
discovered In the attic of a bnllrtlnir on tlie eat
W of Third strwit, near Dock. The heartless per
son who made the discovery seemed utterly devoid
feeling, and proceeded to clear out tbe place
wuhoot any ceremony. A treat nutter arming the
art was the result, and their distress wan oonsnm-wate-d
when they witnessed the demolition of their
eat, the material of which were hnrled from the
epper windows of the building Into the street. A
eromdof two or three hundred people was drawn
together by the uproar created, and tod by In
rXom array, scrotlnli'.lng with much sameness the
lieapt of rubbish which eneumlwrcd the sidewalk.
When the larks Anally found themselves on the hare
floors, they m Hied their feathers and prepared for a
night. The full glare of the sun seemed to ohsenre
their vision, and for two or three hours they hovered
about the place which had so long Iteen their habi
tat Now and then one of them, after nattering
about with miraculous energy, would sail away, fol
lowed by a hooting crowd or men and loys; but be
fore her flight had measured a full square she would
wheel back to tho scene of her former gayetles to
Join her companions in distress. Then as slio
perched In front of the mongrel crowd, eyeing
fcer persecutors with an undaunted r tare, the hoots
and lannU would be renewed, until she plumed her
lf for another aimless Might. Finally two or three
furniture ears were pressed Into service, the rubbish
nf tho demolished nest was loaded upon them, and
the caravan started for parts unknown, followed
closely by a sinister-looking bird of prey, nnd at a
nhort distance by the two guy and festive but some
what disconsolate larks.
lUrrn.v An.iCKTKn. The dlillculty t tho West
Arch Htreet !rcsb,vterlnn 1'htirch is ended. An ad
journed meeting of the congregation was held last,
evening, at which all dltl'crenecs were entombed. A
letter from Dr. Wilms was read withdrawing his re
signation. He did so nt, the unanimous request of
the members of the committee appointed to confer
with him upon the mailer.
A report was made that subscriptions had been re
newed to the amount of f27,nou, rendered condi
tional npon the raising of the whole amount of
$.V,(HK), the sum in which theclmrcli stands indebted.
The balance was raised during the evening, and the
debt thus wiped out. Immediately thereafter a sub
scription was opened to obtain funds to put the
church in thorough repair.
Dr. Wlllits was called from the study, and, with
mnch emotion, eloquently rendered thanks to Al
mighty Hod for the success which had attended the
efforts to free the church from that embarrassment
no long crippling Its energies and impairing ita use
fulness. The congregation then heartily Joined in
lunging the long metre doxology, "I'raise Clod," etc.
The meeting then adjourned to meet one week
fcence, at 8 o'clock 1. M., on the 1st of June. That
lay will signalize the completion of the second year
f Dr. Wlllits' pastorate in this church.

an improved pattern. These new cars weigh much
less than the old ones, but they ure larger, mure airy
and comfortable when In motion, and the lowness

Hume pattern, constructed under the personal super

road, an announce ncnt which will be received with
general gratification.

with Secretary Boutwell to-day.and urj;ed him
to change his policy relative to the sale of gold

the present course of the Secretary has already

Afterlhearinc; all their argument the Secretary
informed them that he had no intentinn of
making any change in his policy at present.

In consequence, it was stated, of the ex parlv
injunction of Judge Barnard and numerous pro

was advisable to select a large proportion of the

freed from such suits.
The following letter of resignation was re

The successful completion of this great work in so
short a time is unsurpassed in history, and will pro
lialily never be equalled. To have been instrumental
in its accomplishment Is an honor which should
gratify any ambition to which i may have aspired.
Since the organization of the company I have, at
much personal sacrllice, devoted my time and ener
gies to the prosecution of its interests,
Mv private all'alrs demand my attention, and the
present seems a fit occasion for tendering my resig
nation as Vice-President of the company, to take
etlcct whenever you are ready to elect my successor,
and at the same time to deciine being elected a
director of the company at the ensuing election.
The success of the enterprise will in a great mea
sure depend upon the future economical manage
ment of the operating department, which I have no
doubt will receive proper attention at, your hands.
Be'.ievlng this to be your policy, I still retain my inte

is now substantially done, and the stockholders are

A BLACK LIST.

The hotel ami boardiiiic-liouse keepers have an as
sociation mid publish a confidential circular once a
month, ileseribinu persons who have defrauded
them. One ol these circulars fell Into mv hands not
lonif alio, and is certainly a curious document. It
reads somethine; like tliis:
"A II , Fnirlishiiuiu, about thirty years old,
slightly bald, black moustache ami goatee, scar 011
lelt cheek, gem-rally wears black suit, has diamond
pin, and curries gold-headed cane; dead-beat gene

"C. D .Virginian, sandy lieard and curly hair; lisps
little and ha.s lost second linger of lelt hand; car
ries a six-shooter and says he has a rich uncle 111 Rich
mond ; never pay anything." Ol course the circular
puts boarding-house keepers on their guard, aud as
tlie swindling individuals are minutely des.iribod.thcy
can be detected and told that a house Is full wheii
they apply lor board. The circular generally
describes t wenty or thirty persons every mouth,
and as it has been published two or three
years, there is a pretty good test of boarding-house
heals, home of these gentry may Oc surprised at
the refusals to accommodate thei'n, as they are sup
posed to he in blissful ignorance of the way people
are put on their guard against them. To prevent
possible suits lor libel the person reporting a de
limiter is requested to state his case iu writing an I

The Way it Is Disposed of.
The Marino Hospital of Charleston, S. (!., was
ordered to be sold at public, auction, aud was dis
posed of to the Protestant Episcopal Society, for the
education of colored people, for tuftoo, the condition
Ihjlng that I1WKI should be paid down and the balance
in thirty, sixty, and ninety days. The ecclesiastical
society got possession of tho property and have held
it ever since, though they have not paid a cent be
yond the original flhOocash. The Secretary of the
Treasury caused notitlcatiou to be sent to the
society that unless the balance should be paid over
before the first of June next the properly would
be repossessed by (ioverninenl. Tlie iniluencu of
Oeneral (. O. Howard was thereupon Invoked by
the society to induce Hie Secretary to allow the pro
perty to remain in the hands of the present posses
sors without further pay, on the ground that it is
being used for the most laudable purpose, tieneral
Howard accordingly waited upon the Secretary aud
nude the desired representations. It Is not known
what will bo the Secretary's decision, but as the
property Is really worth over twenty thousand dol
lars, and as the sotoety obtained It at less than half
its value, it is hardly probable Howard's eloquence
will prevail, HfAii ijtva i npvm(;tt' X J', JUmUt,

It throutth the crtsifl and to continue the business.
It appear that a few days after the funeral of Mr.
misnmore. who wm regarded neretoiore ui
the most strictly honorable and upright men in me
eonimnnlty, and at whoso obsequies the most eeie
brated divines of the city were proud to express
ineir opinion of his worth, It was (llscoveren oy .nr.
Oeorge H. Puffer, the acting president of the bank,
that discrepancies existed In the accounts, and that
there was a deficiency m the securities of from
1)00,000 to t'JM,000.
I'p to the time of this startling discovery it. was
believed by tho directors that the bank was In a
highly prosperous condition; that the capital,
amounting to half a million of dollar, was entirely
secure, and that there was a surplus of 7S 000 on
hand, besides fcfn.ooo of earned money for the pay
ment of the semi-annual dividend. Since then the
author'tles have been sifting the mutter In secret
jealously guarding its privacy, until It finally leaked
out hs above stated.
It Is said that the deficit proceeds from advances
inndo to u contractor on securities, whose account
Is largely overdrawn; aud also from the purchase of
real CHbite by the late Mr. Knshmore In his own
name. The deeds for the purchase of this property
were, however, put away in tlie vaults of the bank,
and were marked, "To secure the bank."

"The markets In Wall street to-day were unusually
dull, a spring languor seeiningt to creep over matters
and things in that generally busv locality. 'Orders'
are 'lew and lar between' with the brokers, but
sufficient tn make quotations quite active ami give
stocks the semblance of great buoyancy. There was
continued and somewhat excited discussion of the
reticence id Secretary lioutwelltn not declaring his
policy in the question" of buying bonds or three per
cents to effect the sale of ail extra million of gold.
Those who arc short of gold and (Joveruinents seem
to lie harmonious In endeavoring to frighten holders
lido selling hy enlarging npon the probabilities of
Air. Poutwcir's buying the ccrtilicates Instead of
bonds. The fact . no one knows wha' his Inten
tions are. The weaker feeling In gold is the sicret
of the weakness ill (loveriniients, and the 'bears' In
the latter me uuturidly very earnest In spreading
any reports which redound to their seulativo bene-tlt-
The range of (ioverntnetils to-day was a repeti
tion In many points of the lluctiiiitious of yes
terday. The'l.ondoii quotation. 7!. created a steady,
if not a better, feeling at the noon board, but the
softening of the gold market, the diilness of ex
change, which prevents the foreign houses from
Increasing their purchases, nnd the three per
cent rumors operated for lower prices, and the
market closed at f o'clock this evening with the fol
lowing quotations: Putted States 6s,issl, registered,

"The money market was without auy particularly
novel feature until late In the day, when more ac
tivity ensued aud loans were more general at the
full legal rate as a consequence of the Hurry pro
duced by the announcement of the defalcation of the
late President of the Brooklyn Atlantic National
Hank. It was also reported that the bank had been
compelled to suspend, but on examination the delielt
was found to be limited to t'iho.ooo, foraporliou of
which the deceased president left certain deeds of
real estate. Commercial paper was less active at
rates ranging from seven to nine per cent.
"Foreign exchange shows further concessions on
the part of drawers, and tne market is rattier un
settled. A few days since large amounts might be
purchased at figures lower than the market quota
tions. Now, a demand for a large sum would pro-
baiilv be regarded witn suspicion ami induce tne
drawer to put up his rates. The weakness
which is chataeteristic of the Immediate pre.
sent of the market is due to the pressure
to sell iKinii bins on tne part or loreigu
bankers who bought (lovernments freely on the
recent advance In London. The following was the
range of rates: Sterling sixty days, commercial,

The report was discused at large by Dr. Hale
Rev. Mr. Plumley, and Rev. Theodore Strong.
The importance of the subject, in view of the
words "Inasmuch as ye do it to one of thes
little ones, yc do it to me," was recognized.
Rev. Mr. Campbell, of Nashville, spoke of tho
deficiency in the salary of ministers. He said
that in his vicinity there was an actual want of.
the necessaries of life.

hearty approval and sympathy, and recom
mended that a fund, in addition to the present
amount of $24,000. be set apart for the object of.
helping needy ministers.
