When asked by the Coroner in relation to this information he did dony it, but declined to give the name of the party who had Kimken to him. The Ooroner at once directed a police officer to lock np the refractory and contemptuous wit ness.

The Coroner discharged the others. Aids to thb Water Works. Visitors to Falrmonnt yesterday were interested in watching the working of a new steam pump, and the erection of another to throw water irom tne sunuyiKiu into tne reser voir through two of the old pipes or conduits. These pumps are placed at the eastern side of the lorenay, at tne nase 01 tne nui, ana tne Doner con nected with them is stationed on a floating raft in the forebay. They are known as Knowles" Patent Mteam Pumps, and are manufactured at Warren, Massachusetts. The length of the bed-plate is 9 feet, the width Is 3 feet and the height 8. The cylinders are of iron, witb brass fittings. The diameter of the steam cyl inders is 24 inches, of thejwatci' cylinder IS inches. The length of stroke Is 84 inches; the piston rod Is of solid brass, 3j inches in diameter; the maximum number of strokes per minute is lSU; and the gallons lifted each stroke Is said to be about 20, This calculation requires the Bteam Btipply pipe to be 11 inches, the. steam exhaust pipe 4 Inches, the size of suction 12 Inches, nd the size of discharge 10 Inches. In practical use for the first time yesterday, Bfrom 27 to 80 revolutions only were attained, but it is ex pected that this working power will bo largely in creased when the machinery gets fairly Into work ing trim. This pump has no cranks or fly-wheel, and has no dead points where It will stop, consequently it is ' always ready to start without using a starting bar, and does not require hand work to get It past the centre. It is claimed it is the only pump made that will work Its steam valve with water, consequently Is always ready to start when the steam cylinder is filled with cold water of condensation. One of these pumps, of a smaller size, having a 14-inch cylinder and a 12-inch stroke, has been used for some years past In the oil regions of this State to take oil from the tanks at the wells, and forca it through a 3-inch pipe over the hills and valleys seven miles to the railroad. Having earned such a pood name for effective service, it is scarcely possi ble that these two, purchased by the citv at a cost of $'2400 each, will not prove of material service in this season of drought in assisting the stationary engines of the Water Works. Chief Engineer Uraeff calcu lates that they will raise 4,ooo,0hj gallons daily Into the reservoir. Should this result be achieved, the de partment will dispense with the steamer John Fuller, now raising about that quantity, which costs the city about Jiwo for each day or its engagement. The slight rains of the past week have had no per ceptible effect in racing the water of the Schuylkill The wooden structure of the dam is still exposed high above water-mark, as it has been for weeks. On the western side of the river ate crowded to gether a large number of canal boats waiting until the lock-gates might he safely opened. The supply of water lor household consumption is yet limited and until heavy fall rains ensue all should be ecol Domical in its use.

The Herald" Madrid correspondent writes on the 9th Instant: The day before yesterday General Sickles informed me that If the Government would interfere at all be tween Spain and Cuba, it would be only from mo tives of humanity, to endeavor to cheek useless ef fusion of blood, or to Interpose with advice or a sug gestion upon wnicn a compromise or peace could be ivade between the two countries: but as for pur chasing Cuba, he did not believe the United States Government had the least Intention, as the Govern ment did not want it. The American Government might also, from public pressure, be compelled to recognize tho Cubans ua belligerents, in order to secure lenient treatment or prisoners and to termi nate the wholesale executions that were too fre quently, it was feared, occurring in Cuba. With such benevolent, soul-consoling phrases, I left the presence of General sickles, ready almost to make oath that Cuban nege nations had but thus far ad vanced, unless the whole had been emitted under tne shadow or diplomacy. Thus lar your correspondent has not been remark able for Journalistic, brevity, for necessity in this case demanded full di tails. With the object of making all sides ami shades of what I am about to relate clear as the sun s disc, have I been so circum locutory. Whnt Upset Mniin'a Uravlty. But here is what np&ct the entire gravity of Ma drid, what inclined thu populace and middle clasacB of the capital from their just and natural equilibrium. Without emendation, b.-c atim et literatim, It follows what Is translated fioin the -(( of tho evening of the 6th Inst : Grave reports have reached us which afflict onr Spanish hearts. It M b.ti I that the reprcseatiti ve Of the I'nited States, whose presence is a sad omeu to the interests of tlie country, has Bent, in compliance with the orders of hia Covcrn ucnt, a note to Spain, In which he informs the authorities that opluion in the North American republic will probably oblige that Government to the recognition of belligerency in favor of the rebels of Cub;-. Something else tlie despatch contains which we inny not mention, be cause it has not the certainty of ths above. Tlis Ministry, which is in Madrid and not at Vichy, have not adopted any resolutions us yet, buthivu con tented themselves with transmitting knowledge of its receipt to Honors Prim mid Sllvela and to our representatives abroad. When we wrote yesterday, full of dolorous presentiments, our hearts told us we might expect greater evils. Cuba is in danger! and to this cry we must not respond dismayed, but with the spirited enthuBiam of our best times. Cuba is in danger! and for the salvation of this beautiful portion of the Spanish territory the entire army must be transferred to those shores to present a callanl array of the vitality of our country. If there are Carlists, if there are republicans, if there are Isabeli nos, if there is any party who must be cajoled and flattered to resistance, Curses light on it and them, who, when the moment has come when It Is indispensable to use all our efforts for the preservation of Cuba, shirk their duty. The revolu tion has conceded the right of reunion ; well, then, what occasion more opportune for exercising it to demonstrate to this great republic what public opinion here Is, when the question of saving the In tegrity of our territory arises ? Let the meu of all parties unite, in all the cities, in all the villages, in all the hamlets. The loss of Cuba will be the dis honor o." the revolution ; in the salvation of Cuba all parties arc Interested A Hmnll War Wboop. Thus says the h'inura, conservative orcran. Public unanimity for the salvation of Cuba is a demonstra ble fact; is now being demonstrated wherever a Knot 01 two or more men mithera in tho streets, in the cafes, in the lobbies of the theatres, at tables i noie ami private reunions, ims Jiootilade lifts Its nine war wnoop and says: "ii wiiHt is said nredlcat nir our misfortnno hn true, Spain will rise as one man to exterminate In a rauicai manner tne iniquitous Cuban rebellion and for the salvation of tho richest pearl of the Spanish diadem.-' He Rodna Not Sanguine of Success.

The Reported Captnre of Ta Tana. A letter Tibs been received by the editors of Ia Jlrnohieion from, their correspondent at Kingston, Jamaica, to tho effect that Las Tunas had fallen Into tho hands of the Cubans with 400 prisoners. Italre was said to have been burned tho night after the nssssRiuatlon or the IT prisoners at Jlguanl, and some Spaniards perished In the flames. It is reported that the Spaniards cut the throats of 200 Cubans In I as Tunas. The news Is riot trustworthy, and until the report of Cucsada is made out, no one will lie disposed to lend that, or any similar story, credit. It Is not understood that the conductors of the journal above mentioned are willing to accept the statement reported as true, in thejabsenw of some thing else confirming It, Recognition by Colombia. The twn bnnaea In Concrrean assembled have passed resolutions favorable to a recognition of Cuba as a free and Independent nation. The Con gress Intimates to the President that a recognition by him at Cuba, as a new nation, would bo univer sally applauded throughout the republic. OUR CONTEST. The Ilnrrlsburg I'alriot lias tbls editorial notolct: "We Lave tho best authority for announcing thnt the effort to set aside the election of cer tain oilkcrs elected in Philadelphia last fall, and whoso elections hnvo been contested bo fore the proper court of that city ever since, has resulted in a signal failure on the part of the contestants. The ordeaf has been a severe 0110, attended with a vast expense to the tax payers of the city, and exceedingly vexatious to the incumbents legally chosen by the people. The failure of this last attempt of radical lenders to thwart the popular will by treating elections as if they had not been held, will meet with a henrty response in tho breast of every licnest man. The Democratic Candidate for Dover nor. What ? Is there a crevice in Packer's soli tary suit of armor: a spot on Packer's only pro tectinc shield ? 1 he Democratic press of Penn sylvania, whose united utterauce for any number ot weeks past lias been in tne nature of a prolonged nnd ecstatic crow over tho unim peachable honesty of its candidate, has sud denly changed its tone. Packer's probity is still proclaimed, but with an angry vehemence and a virulent denunciation of all doubters which are rapidly becoming suspicious. It seems that one or two Republican journals, lrri tatcd, perhaps, at having this single article of Democratic virtue flung in their faces with such fersistcnt exultation, have taken up the task of nvestigating the question whether the miracle of purity has or has not evaded tho pa3'iuent of his taxes sinse the year 1807. Little as we arc inclined to disturb a cherished illusion of this nmiable sort, we must admit that, accord ing to all appearanccss, the Pittsburg Re publican newspapers have succeeded, if we mny so express it, in hitting Mr. Packer where he lives. It is directly alleged, and the charges rcmuin undisputed, that tne uemocratic candi date paid taxes, not willingly, but upon legal compulsion, amounting to ikh) in im.r, to t'AtOO in 1806; and to 314,000 in 18(57. But in 1808, by the pretense of changing his residence from Muuch Chunk to Philadelphia, he man aged to get clear upon payment of tho trilling sum of $8 !)5. The details of this operation have a financial interest similar to that which enlivens the achievements of soma of our adroit Wall street udveuturers, but aro not altogether apt as an il'ustration of personal integrity. Air. Packer's supporters, without denying the damaging charge, now endeavor to weaken Its effect by a series of pleas in extenuation. They admit that, with a property 01 many minions, lie returned, an in come of less than 11000, but undertake to prove that he bad a perfect riirht to do so. How much weight this sort of argument will have with the voters 01 Pennsylvania we shall bo able to ludge next month. The fine old French maxim, "Qui s excuse s accuse, never had. a better applica tion than to the bungling defenders of Mr. Packer from the direct imputation of grossly defrauding his town, county, and State.

At no tlmo during the war has snch an excitement been wit- ncssed. Before 9 o'clock this morning the crowd commenced to gather, and a livciy time was had In the street buying and selling the quotations ; start ing at about 145, and before the opening of the Regular Board at 10 A. 51. the market had advanced to 180, and even at Jthls price no small lots could be had. Opening Quotation In the Cold Room. The opening quotation In the Oold Room was 150, and for nearly an hour there was but a very slight cnange, there being a terrible fight in progress be tween the two factions of bulls and bears. Enor mous pressure was brought to bear on both sides, ana lauuious Bums were bought and sold. The "BnllN" Master of the Field. It was a short btruggle, however, as the "bulls" proved themselves masters of the situation ; and, after the turning point had been reached, carried everything before them, and becoming wild with over-success, ran the quotation up faster than It could be telegraphed. How o!d Jumped. Ignoring fractions, the price jnmped one and two cents at a time, commencing at 50, and within an hour touching 58, then 69, 60, 61, 62, and finally 62. After reaching this point it toppled ; there was a de. cline, a struggle for maintenance, but The Bubble Uurot. The bottom was knocked completely out of the clique, and with a crasi more terrific than the rush with which It ascended, the quotation fell to 60, 67 65, 53,60,47, 45, 43, 42, 40, 89, 35, and 84, Where it touched bottom and rebounded slightly, It now being Mi and Unlet. During the wildest of the excitement, there was a diirerence of about 15 per cent, in the quotations. A million could be bought for 45, when small amounts brought 58 to 61. SECOND SPECIAL DESPATCH. The (old Koom Likened to Pandemonium. New York, Sept. 24. The scenes in the Uold Board this morning exceeded anything outside of Fandemonium. The floor and lobbies were densely crowded, and Broad and New streets were so filled with people as to be impassable for vehicles. The Stock Exchange Dcaerted. TI.u Stock Exchange next door is almost deserted, everybody watching the gold registering apparatus, which fronts on New street. This fluctuated like the wind, aud at each rise and fall of an eighth the crowd would express Itself In noisy terms. The Rise from 155 to 160 was as fast as the operator could turn the crank, and when 160 was reachod there was a loud cheer. In the excitement a grey-headed old German gentleman rushed to the President's chair and asked to be protected from some imperceptible danger. Tho yells and noises when gold was at 162 were absolutely deafening. A burst of tem porary amusement was excited when a broker entered the crowd with a large pasteboard bull under one arm and a pasteboard bear of equal rlze under the other, and by pulling their respective strings, made each noisy as the 'bulls'' or "bears" tnumphed in tho board. Among the street spectators were numerous German agents for im porting and mercantile houses, who watched the increased rise with disconsolate looks. It wai quite common to hear tho question asked, '-Why don't the Government interfere?" And it was equally common to hear one broker ask another, "How do you stand ?" the response often being, In a melancholy Btraln, that it was "Im possible to tell." Numerous failures are to be antici pated. At this hour (noon) It seems as if the upward te ndency had reached its limit. The betting on the rise or fall of the registering apparatus is about over. Private Bids and Public Sales. During the rapid rise this morning the private bids generally managed to keep one or two per cent, in advance of the public sales ; in fact, when 157 wa quoted there were private bids out for 160. The early sessions of the Stock Board did not seem to be affected to the extent which might have been ex pected. What developments may take plaoe later in the day It is impossible to say. THIRD SPECIAL DESPATCH. The Noon-day Fever. New York, Kept. 2412 o'clock. The fever in creases and everything Is, if possible, more unset tled than ever. It has been twelve minutes since my last despatch, and in that time gold has fallen from one hundred and Ufty-slxto one hundred and forty-two. The fall was as sudden as the rise. It stood at one hundred and forty-two for a mo ment, when a large house was understood to make a bid at slightly better figures for a million. There was a sudden check, and since then a number of co quettish fluctuations. Tlie reports which are afloat about Boutwell and ton thousand other influences are not worth telegraphing. They gull nobody. A Simare Content between the Two Factional. The war being a fair and square contest between the bulls and tho bears for the mastery, the out siders keep aloof in horror and disgust. Perhaps the most singular feature of this extraordinary attairls the personal appearance of the men who are startling tho country with their recklessness on theHoor of the Gold Exchange. IVounH America. Bids aro offered and taken by beardless youths whose appearance In mercantile circles would not entitle them to any consideration. It might be sup posed that they wore operating entirely under in structions ; but the rapidity of the operations forbids this. A stranger is disgusted beyond meaure to see the most Important national interests sacrificed to these gamblers. Meiangea for Europe. There is a long line of business men now at the Atlantic Cable desk of the Western Union Telegraph ofllce, waiting to transmit messages to Europe, al though If they can form any defiuite ideas of future finances, it is more than cau be done by the majority of New Yorkers. New York, Sept 24. There is tremendous excite ment In the Gold Room. Gold opened at 150, went up to 156, then to 100, thon to lttft, and then fell ti 160, and from there to 13U cash. The next bid was 100. Later 12-15 Gold Is now at 130 cash, and 132 regular. 12-60 Gold, 13. Arrival of the California Pioneer. New Yobk, Hept 84.

There Is a good aeai 01 excitement over the Cnha-KpBln trouble, but it is believed it will subside without any material result beyond an advance in gold.

It Is given out that no regular appointment will be made of a successor to the late General Rawlins, as Secretary of War, until after the annual report of ine nepanmeni nns oeen made up. General Sher man s familiarity with the Intricate details of the administration of that branch of the Executive ucpanment is tne reason for this delay in the selection or nawitns successor.

The United States is represented by Hon. Robert S. Hall, late a member of Congress from New York. Some of the Virginia papers are evidently not yet as well recon structed as they might be. The Virginia Senatorshlp. ' General Robert Williams' name has been men tioned In connection with the United States Senator ship from that State, and the Fredericksburg Herald and other papers demur to the sentiment expressed by the Richmond Dinpatch, that he ought to be elected because of his faithful devotion to his-conn-try and flag during the war. The papers opposing General Williams say that, while this may prove no objection to his selection, it certainly constitutes no claim upon Virginia Naval Orders. Despatch to the Associated Press.
