Lono Branch, N. J., June IT.
At o'clock this morning a large party of gentle
men connected with the railroad interest of this
State and with the publlo press of Philadelphia,
assembled at Walnut street wharf, In that city, In
anticipation of a day of unalloyed enjoyment. They
were called together by an Invitation lsnued by the
officers of the Camden and Amboy, Freehold and
Jamesburg, and Rarltan and Delaware Bay Railroad
companies, to participate In an excursion to Long
Branch, by way of Inaugurating the completion and
opening of the through railroad lino between Phila
delphia and this point. Hitherto there has been a
breach In the line or about nine miles,
between Freehold and Farmlngdale, In
Monmouth county, which made a tedious stage ride
necessary in order to reach the sea-side. Last win
ter the Freehold and Jamcslmrg Company laid a
substantial track between these two points, which
was fully completed and ready for travel by the 20th
of May, but the formal celebration of the event was
postponed ontil to-day, In order that the close prox
imity of "the season" at the sea-side might enable
the participants to realize more fully the unques
tionable fleMghts of this charming spot. The excur
sion party was In charge of Mr. J. V. Gore, the
general ticket agent of the Camden and Amboy Rail
road Company ; but there were also present Messrs.
Willlnm II. Gatzmer, the President; A. W. Maiklcy,
the Vice-President; and R. 8. Van Rensselaer, the
General Superintendent of the road, as well as
several of the ottlccrs of the two other roads over
whose track the route extends.
A more propitious duy for such an excursion could
not have been selected. The elements were all in
league in our favor, and as we sped along through
ttie highly cultivated and attractive fields or this
garden State, we were made to realize in all their
fulness the pleasures Inseparable rrom a swift and
luxurious Journey, and to echo in our hearts the
lines or Saxe ;
"Bless me 1 this is pleasant,
Killing on the rail."
At different points we were Joined by the officials
or the State Government, by representatives or the
press of New Jersey, and by leading railroad men
and prominent citizens, until at lust the company
numbered an aggregate of one hundred and fifty
five persons, comfortably filling four passenger cars.
These carB, by-thc-way, were a marvel of ease, the
Beats being of a peculiar manufacture, the Invention
of the General Superintendent of the Camden and
Amboy Railroad, Mr. Van Rensselaer. The backs of
the seats are high, and the top Is surmounted by a
linen covering Into which In the evening or night a
small pillow Is Inserted for the repose of the head
By moving a small lever projecting sligliily In lront
of the scat, the whole analr is thrown backwards,
presenting an admirable reclining couch, quite as
cozy and comfortable as a berth In a sleeping-car.
The first and only stoppage, except for adding to
the excursion party, was near Farmingdale, where
the train halted for about a quarter, of an hour to
afford us an opportunity to look into the immense
marl deposits, through the very midst of which the
new portion of the Freehold and Jamesburg road
runs. The strata of marl which stretch entirely
across the State, rtart at the ocean, In the neighbor
hood of Long Branch, where they have a width of
nearly fifteen miles, and extend in a southwesterly
direction to the Delaware riwr, In the vicinity of
Salem creek, where they sre narrowed a width of
about five miles, The region over which the depo
sits of mart may be reached by
digging from three to fifty feet, Is ninety miles la
length and on an average about seven or eight in
Width, and Its area la nine hundred square miles,
the strata themsolves being from tllteen to thirty
feet In thickness. In places, the marl Is within three
or four feet of the surface, s? that It is easily accessi
ble, but there Is generally found above that which Is
available for fertilizing purposes, stratum of simi
lar but useless character. It is only within a few years
past that the Immense source of fertility and wealth
which Is thus locked up has been properly appre
ciated by the people of the State. Recently, how
ever, a great Impetus has been given to the employ
ment of marl as a fertilizing agent, by the operations
of two extensive companies, which have been organ
ized for the purpose of working the marl beds. I
have not at my command the figures for lost year,
but in 1667 I learn that 4,534,800 bushels, or 126,730
tons, of marl were brought to a ready market by the
railroads alone. The beds which were inspected by
the excursionists were those owned and worked by
Squankum and Freehold Marl Company. The
- oerties or the product or the upper
fertilizing which is now being wpred
marl bed In that poraou ..... fu. cn ,
bV thlB company are set forth in 2 i.;.?
analysis, tb; results of which were as follows:
Phosphorio acid, 12-68 per cent.; potash, 4-25;
lime, 2-97 ; alumina, 6-00; sulphuric acid, 1-89; silicio
acid, 69-80; magnesia, 2-00; oxide of Iron, 11-98;
water, 8-82. Total, 99-79.
After a pleasant Journey, lasting a little over three
hours, we found ourselves at this deltghtful summer
resort. A hearty lunch had been partaken of on
the train, but the glorious breeze from the ocean
sharpened everybody's appetite afresh, and at half
past one the whole party sat down to dinner, the
greater portion of them at the Mansion House. After
dinner came strolls on the beach, and turns up and
clown the magnificent drive along the edge of the
high bluff which faces the ocean. In the course of
such a drive, we entered the grounds surrounding
the country residence of John Hoey, Esq., the New
York Superintendent of the Adams Express Com
pany, which are unsurpassed for natural and artistic
beauty by anything to be found elsewhere on the
American continent An idea of their extent and
elaboration may be formed rrom the statement that
the entire longth or the carriage drive within the
enclosure is three miles, and that without going over
the same spot the second time. The whole plaee is
& wilderness or trees and flowers, a veritable "earthly
paradise."
But I have no time to linger here. At a quarter to
B we must start on the return Journey, and there is
only time to say further that the regular express
trains make the Journey from Philadelphia, eighty
two miles in length, in four hours. For the present
there will be one express train dally each way, leav
ing Philadelphia at 2 P. M. and Long Branch at
quarter-past 7 A. M. ; but on and after the first
of July two dally trains will start
from either end of the route, leaving Philadelphia
at 8 A. M. and S P. M., and Long Broach at'a quarter
past 1 A. M. and 4 P. M. By that time the thermo
meter will stand some degrees higher than it now
does, "the season" will be fairly uudcr way, and
there will be an abundance or pleasure-seekers
ready to avail themselves of the excellent facilities
for reaching Long Branch which are henceforth at
their command, Washtenaw,

Hrrrptlon f Ifalv Order In the Pretestnm
hiiriU Catarrh.
This morning, at Half-past 10 o'clock, a very Inte
resting and impressive servioeras held in St. Luke's
Protestant Episcopal Church, Thirteenth street,
below 8prn.ee. Following upon the Annual Com
mencement of the Protestant Episcopal Divinity
Hchool. the exercises of which took plae yesterday,
came the presentation of candidates for ordination
as Deaeonsor Priests this morning. The congrega
tion which assembled to participate In those solemn
services was large, and manlfestel a most devout
Interest.
Before their entrance Into the church the reverend
clergy and the candidates met In the vestry-room of
the church, thrice proceeding to their places within
the church, or the pews Immediately near It.
The exercises were begun by the rendition of tho
regular service of morning prayer, Revs. Brooks,
Cooper, and Newton ottlcitttlng the tlrst going to
the "Lessons," the second reading these, and the
last continuing until the singing of th,e psalm. This
was announced by Bishop Stevens, the "Seventy
ninth or the selection, 'With one consent let all the
earth.'"
The Rev. Julius Grammcr, D. D., or Baltimore,
Md., then preached the ordination sermon.
He took his text from the 2M.h verso or the '22. 1
chanter of the Book of Proverbs: "Remove not the
ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set."
He Ix'gan by saying that no book or the Bible con
tained more practical axioms for the conductor life
than the tmok or Proverbs, and, therefore, it should
be revered and its teachings regarded, even though
we were not Rsstired that the Deity was Its author.
And the words of our text should be observed.atnong
the others especially observed In this era. Now,
more than ever before, the battle waxes hot
between truth and error, between religion
and lrrcligion ; now new questions are
arising In politics and morals, and dangers are
arising to Church and Mate. At this day we are
called upon to look well to our wav, and see in how
far we must defend the ancient landmarks of our
fathers.
Now, so far as the Bible la concerned, attacks are
made upon certain parts, in contradistinction to
others. Some people desire the Holy Book emascu
lated, certain of its pontons expurgated ; tho Penta
teuch, for instance. But we must consider that tlio
Inspiration of God covered the writers of all
the books of the Bible, and that we
cannot reject one without danger to the
whole. The Bible is our only safeguard In this
wicked age, and we cannot aiiord to lose a line or
letter of It. Without It we would live in a moral
world of rayless darkness. So our Church teaches
that we must hold to all tho books, and our deacons
and priests are required to give expression
to their belief In them all. "Remove not the ancient
landmarks." Empires and ages have passed away,
but this Book stands as it was when America was
unknown, and now as then constitutes the rule of
faith and practice for nil Christendom. And the
tenets of our Church, us built upon this blessed
Book, should likewise be adhered to with a tenacity
as lusting as life.
They teach us the way of salvation, and direct us
In the manner in which we should live. They In
struct us hi tne moue or worship, ami even on tins
score should be holden to, und strictly. They point
out a pure service, and while that service should tie
pursued, they themselves should be loved for their
guidance.
Yes, we cherish the Bible, but we also cherish
this our "Prayer-book," and would follow Its iteach-
mg8. The book of our church service has descended
to us from our fathers; It Is an ancient landmark,
and we will never falter in our allegiance to it.
Eminent churchmen, not only of our denomination,
but of others, have lauded it as the best book of
church service In any language, and so I commend
it to the affectionate regard and close observance
or all.
At this point the reverend speaker concluded his
sermon proper, and addressed his remaining words
to the candidates. These were sitting In the front
pews, directly herore the preacher, and as he spoke
to them they all arose, and remained standing while
ho continued. His words to them were full or auc
tion, and conveyed gome most excellent advice for
their future as priests in the temple of God.
As he concluded Bishop Stevens announced the
hymn No. loo of the selection, "Futher or mereles,
bow Thine ear."
The candidates for Deacon's and Priest's Ord;rs
were then presented separately by the following
ion deacon's orders.
J. Hummel Berghaus, presented by Rev. Dr. Good
win.
, Henry C. Mayer, presented by Rev. Mr. Hubbard.
Charles 11. Mead, presented by ltev. Dr. Howell.

Henry K. Brouse, presented by Rev. Dr. Butler.

Williuin w. Newton, presented by Rev. Mr. New
ton.
Thoy were received by Bishop Stevens, who then
conducted the ordination services, propounding the
regular queries to the candidates, and listening to
their replies.
The concluding services were conducted by Rev.
Mr. Claxton, after which the Holy Sacrament was
administered, and the congregation dismissed with
the benediction.
TE0BABLE HOMICIDE.
A Mini Cut In an Altercation on Koiu fi ftlrcet,
below (Seventh, at n Late Hoar Last Mlit.
Last night, but 11 o'clock, Bernard Dugan, aged
twentv-two years, pwiuiuk a nu. io piuwmet
street, was admitted to Ue Pennsylvania Hospital,
with several severe and, 7t!?U it la thought will
prove, fatal cuts in tne necK aim nine. w
tendance was Immediately rendered, but Ma condi
tion was such this morning mat ins recovery is
deemed Improbable, Jfrom all the particulars which
can be obtained. It seems tnai wugan was wita a,
party of men who were standing on South street,
bpiow Ri-venth. about a auarter of 11 O'clock. John
Gillespie, in company wun tnreo women, was pass
ing down South street, and when he reached this
crowd an altercation ensued. Gillespie states that
the women were insulted, when he attempted to re
sent It, and was then set upon anu beaten. Tne
women screamed murder, and their cries had the
eirect or attracting a large numDer 01 people.
Policeman Nixon, or the Third district, was soon
on hand, and rrom representations made that Gil
lespie had been one or the crowd, took him Into cus
tody. At this time High Constable Curley came
along and took charge of the prisoner. The reeling
against Gillenple was very bitter, and the crowd as
sembled around him with drawn pistols and knives ;
one or the pistols was discharged. High Constable
Curley, after allaying tho excitement, wanted to
know wnat Ulliespie nail clone, io which lie rcceiveu
the reply that he had beaten a man. The otllcer thun
wanted some one to appear against him, when Thos.
Doyle, the keeper of a tavern In that vicinity, re
sponded that lac would make the charge. Not know
ing that Dugau nau oceu stauoeu, juney iook uu
lesple berore Alderman Devltt, where bail was en
tered in (600 for his appearance at 9 o'clock this
morning. Subsequently Dugan was picked up rrom
the sidewalk, the blood pouring freely from wounds
in the nu k and aide, and tukeu to the hospital.
Glllesplo did not make his appearance at tno
appointed time this morning. Warranty were then
procured and placed In tliu hands of the detectives,
who are now engaged in hunting him op. When
arrested last night Gillespie was not searched, so
that It is impossible, at present, to say that he did
the deed. The wounded man Is lying in a very pre
carious state at the Hospital, and no one is allowed
to see him. The attending physicians think that he
cannot live through the duy.
Howku, Finn & Co. in Tiieir Nbw Quarters.
Our readers well remember tbe occasion of the dis
astrous conflagration at tho handsome white marble
buildings at the southwest corner of Ninth and
Chcsnul streets, a few months ago, at which several
lives were lost. The origin of this lire, which led to
a sdentitio investigation, is as much Involved In
mystery as on the night of Its occurrence. By this
conilagiatlon, the firms or Howell, Brothers Jk Co.
and J. K Caldwell A Co. were heavy losers, nothing
being left or their buildings save the walls, which
were in so tottering a condition that they were im
mediately pronounced dangerous. Tne firm of
llowell Brothers immediately set to work at re-crect-lng
their structure, and in a few hours scores of
workmen were engaged iu bracing up the walls.
1 his being accom uUHUeil, the process of tearing down
commenced. This was a diilluult task, but by the
aid of modern appliances, the laborers, who were at
work night and day, hud the walls soon on a level
with the second floor. The m-p rue tin it wnu limn
begun, and so rapidly was the labor performed that
the firm of llowell, Finn & Co. were enabled to take
possession or their new quarters a couple or weeks
since. Their business was scarcely Interrupted a
dav. for with that spirit of prouroHHtveueaa which
has ever marked their career, they secured other
quarters, and were thus atlo to supply the extensive
demand for thel goods. The feat of reconstructing
the destroyed buildings In so Bhort a time is one or
which Philadelphia artisans may well feel uroud.
and reflects credit as well upon the firm of Howell.

No. 6S9 Chesnut street, Philadelphia.
Gents : A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of May 29, 1809, to arm tne
Banker's chest received from you a few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it Is
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed Is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what you claim for then, Bur
glar-Proof.

that tbc Attorney-General endorses the action of
United States District Attorney Plcrpont and
Marshal Burlow in arresting the Cuban Junta in
New York. When asked to-day by gentlemen
what he thought of the matter, he replied that
tho Cubans should have been arrested long ago,
that they were guilty of an open breach of
neutrality laws, and that If allowed to go on
they would eventually get us into trouble with
Spain.

Debate In the English House of Iordx.
By AtlatUie Cable.
(Continuation of debate In the House of Lordd.
pubiiPhea on one ot our Inside pages. Ed.
Eve. Tel. I
Loudon, June 18. Earl Klmberly defended
the principla and details of the bill, and believed
the concurrent endowment inexpedient and Ira-
possible. Total disestablishment and disendow-
ment was tho only measure which could remove
the grievances complained of. The opposition
contended that land und not the Church was the
real grievance. Was It unfair to remove one
grievance because another existed which might
hereafter be legislated upon.
The Bishop of Ripon opposed tho bill, and the
Duke of Cleveland supported it if amendments
could be made.
Lord Redesdalc opposed tho bill, especially tho
clause depriving Irish Bishops of their seats in
the House of Lords. Rather than reject them,
the Episcopal Bench would consent to admit
Romifh prelates to sit with them.
The Duke of Devonshire favored the bill, and
the Marquis of Salisbury said that while he in
tended to vtc for the second reading of the bill,
he did not wish to commit himself to all the de
tails of the measure. lie strongly objected to
the attitude of the House with respect to the
motion. The nation deemed the assertion that
the Lords In assenting to the will of the natlou
express subordination to the Commons as false.
If that were the fact, it would be better for
the House of Lords to disappear as a co-ordi
nate branch of the Government. The object of
a second house was to supply omisslous and rec
tify the defects of the first. In many cases the
House of Commons only represents the nation
n theory. In a majority of cases the Lords
must decide for themselves, but when the House
of Commons and the nation agreed on a given
point, the functions of the House of Lords passed
awny, and the responsibility devolves on the
nation and house.
We might fairly accept this decision without
abnegation ef duty. Opposition to the decided
opinion of the nation could only delay the in
evitable Issue, aud create a period of disturbance
and discontent. He thought the bill under dis
cussion Illiberal and injurious, and he did not
believe the amendment would be aontemptuously
disregarded by the House of Commons, as Las
been intimated. He thought governments of a
large mnjority gave a prospect of unpre
cedented success, but the nation would
soon turn against a Ministry displaying a domi
neering spirit. Admitting any amount of arro
gance in Mr. Gladstone, the House of Commons
might consider its own present position as com
pared with its i ossible position if the bill was
rejected, nothing would be more fatal tuau
such a policy. The contest would then be car
ried on under disadvantage, and the Houue of
Lords would ni ally have to give way.

Rmlnlcencen of Prof. Mltcliel.
Fresldent Tuttle, of Wabash College, contri
butes to the Cincinnati Oeurtte the following in
teresting reminiscences ot rroiessor u. m.
Mitchel:
PUTTING DOWN A MOD.
The date of an Incident connected with Pro
fessor Mitchel I cannot state for want of a news
paper file, but suppose it to have been lu the
winter of 1842-3, when the city of Cincinnati
was almost bankrupted by the hard times. As a
specimen of the season, I recollect tho fact that
two members of a wholesale firm on Pearl street
travelled over Indiana and Illinois several
weeks In the endeavor to collect some
portion of notes, amounting to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. In six weeks the
two men collected only nine hundred dollars!
This was iu the spring of 18-13. About that time
as I supposed, occurred the great bank mob of
Cincinnati. It was a fearful sight to sec mad
dened men, women, and even children, engaged
in the work of destruction. Several banks that
had been 'run on1 and failed were gutted. The
German people were said to be great losers by
thece failures, and were furious in their work.
As 1 now remember, several banks on Main, be
tween Third and Fourth, were thus broken open
and robbed. The Franklin and Lafayette Banks
expected to be attacked and were said to be
thoroughly pronnred to resist. Ihe whole scene
was most disgraceful to finaut-iers, that there
should be any occasion for the mob, and to the
authorities of the city, that it should be possiblo
lor a lew imnuria men, in open daylight, to do
what was there done that day.
it wns wiiiio the mob was cmraced in the
work of destruction that my attention was
directed to a noise up the street, and which was
suddenly explained hy tho appearance of a cora
imny of soldiers under the lead of Professor
Mitchel. With fixed bayonets and at a rapid
pace the soldiers cleared a track through the
mob, which nt first scattered, and theu closed
np as quickly as ever. Mitchel wheeled his
company and walked back again. My impres
sion is that this time he ordered his men to fire,
which they did with blank cartridges. By this
time the mob, finding the place and business too
warm, fled. The professor that day looked as
brave as a lion, but, as I thought, u little
pompous. Certainly ho did bis work as
thoroughly and rapidly as he afterwards did iu
his celebrated raid into the very heart of re
bellion. mitchel's observatory.
When Trofcssor Mitchel developed his ulan of
building an observatory and buying a telescope,
tho expenses were to bo met by securing sub
scriptions of stock at twenty-five dollars a share,
and the wonderful man actually taught his full
time each day aud-then personally solicited sub
scriptions from the citi.cns. This was in tho
spring, and before the close of the summer term
In June lie bad secured three hundred shares.
and nt onee the society was organized, and he
sent to lurope to purchase the Instrument.
Some time during the fall it was my good for
tune to near tne rroiessor in the same nail
relate to a great audience the story of his ad
ventures during that journey. It was egotistic
of necessity, for he was relatiuir what ho had
nimscit done ana experienced; and he did It most
eloquently. He was away from Cincinnati four
mouths, and in Hairope a hundred days. In Juno
he examined his classes, and in September he
resumed the instruction of them tho first day
In that short period ho hart visited England.
France, and Germany, and then returned to Eng
land, where no spent at least two weeks in the
observatory at Greenwich.
Having satisfied bimsclt bv conference with
Professor Airy, of Greenwich Observatory, that
there was no such object class as he needed to
be had in England, he passed over to Paris, and
soon came to me same result there, lie then
started for Germany, entirely Ignoring all sight-
cuuuiK, ii iu tuuiv mill u uiui uui ul luu Biriugnt
line he was following. His course excited the
wonder of some, and the anger of others. Hero
at Munich, he found what ho was after, and.
having closed the bargain, started back, nost
haste, for England. Again he called on Pro-
jcsHor Airy at tne uoservatory to report Dro
press and consult him as to the best methods of
mouutiug tho telescope. The Englishman
was evidently disgusted at the rapid motions of
his American brother, who had "done up
Paris and Munich, France and Germany, with
such unbecoming haste. To get clear of the
superficial fellow, as he regarded Mitchel, he
very grutliy told him if he would go down to
Cambridge Observatory he would there see a
telescope mounted by himself and embodying
every improvement lie could mention.
l lie suggestion oi tne luigiisuman was very
unpleasant to the American, and at first ho re
solved not to follow it, but this was to risk his
only and greatly coveted chauce of a few weeks
in the Greenwich Observatory. With character
istic promptness, as he left Professor Airy, he
called for a cab and drove rapidly to the railway
station, reaching there just in time for tho train
to Cambridge. At this place he sprang into a
cab and drove to the Observatory, butiouud that
Us director was already locked In It for the night.
Prolcesor MJicncl at once sougnt an interview
with the Professor's wife, and so well pleaded
his case that she herself succeeded In getting
her husband to allow the stranger to spend
the niizht with him in the Observatory. Here
the mountings of the telescope were explained
and studied minutely, aud a Miultltudo 01 obser
vations made and recorded. Professor Mitchel
showed his audience the notes of that night's
work at Cambridge. At daylight he was in the
train for London, and about the time rroiessor
Airy was leaving his brcaktast tauio Mitcuei was
ringing at his door. Tho Englishman s first
salute was, "ao you conciuaea not to uiko my
advice about going to Cambridge ?" "Oh, no,
sir, by no means," said Mitchell, "I have takeu
it, and been down there already !" "You do
not mean to Impose that story on me, do yon ?"
asked the incredulous Airy. "I tell you the
simple fact." was the reply, "and If you will
allow me, I will convince you that I have done
just what you aavisea.
