his mouth bleeding; Arnholt went up into a conrt to wash
his month, and Brady, Campbell, and myself went, up after
him be then went towards Uirard avenue; he got into a
fuss with the other young men, whom I did not recognize;
1 saw Arnholt get a fellow down ; I then saw a man throw

Breiner had struck Arnholt with the brick. 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

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.

(ienernl Sickle') Mode nfl'roceedliiK nt Madrid
What I irel (lie ianiNii iieuri.
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

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

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. From
the N. Y. Tribune of this morning.

.The Scene In the Vlclnliy of Wall .Street Beyond
ursrriiiuoui
FIRST SPECIAL DESPATCH.
New York, Sept. 24 The scene In Broad. Wall.
NaHsau, ana all the streets In the vicinity of tho
(lold Room to-day bailies description. 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.

nia Pioneers arrived this morning from Ca'ifornla,
via the Pacilio Railroad. The party numbers two

Fjweial Btxpatch to Th Bvenitig Telegraph.
Washington. Sent. 24. 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. I learn from the best
sources that whatever attitude may be assumed by
i-pam, wnemer lor effect at nome, or in earnesi,
there will tie no back down from the position onr
Government has taken up to this time on the Cuban
qnestlon. In this resolve the President himself
stands firmest, and be is backed by nearly all the
lamnet except weeretarv nsn. wno is oreaiirniiy
alarmed about Spain sweeping our commerce from
tne sea.
Rawllnit Rnreeasor.
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.

A large number of
ICInluiN Crowing Out of the Late War
are now nnder Investigation in Richmond before
U. S. Commissioner Cahoon, and the Department
here feels great interest in the result. 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.
