THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION'.
The ClnrU nnd Penrsoii Farm An Interesting
Fight Anion Counellmeii llotli Itranelie of
CouuciU Ylult Both Properties To-day.
The selection of a site for a House of Correction
lias proved a serious bone of contention, unci just
now there is a decidedly interesting fight over it.
As our readers are aware, dozens of spots have been
visited by the Joint special committee of Councils,
which lias now been in existence for several years.
Once or twice the committee, thinking that they had
the right place, reported to Councils, but In every
instance so far the bill has been killed in some wise
wr other. Petty's Island was considered a splendid
location, but, in addition to the "jobliy" nature of the
. enterprise, there was the objection that it would re
iiulve such an immense outlay of capital that the
city would never see a House of Correction. Still
Home members of Councils persisted in voting
for this island, but a squelcher was put ou
these gentlemen, who if they had been
iu llaul8burg . and shown such persistency
would have been justly styled 'Iloosters," by severa'
of the newspapers announcing that the surface or
this tract of land was below tide water, and that fact
was shortly thereafter demonstrated. Last year tho
Alburger farm was reported, but here a bitter oppo
sition manifested Itself, and this opposition came
from those of our representatives who deem that
they have been elected to look after the material
interests or Philadelphia. This farm is located in
Delaware county, some acres intervening between it
and the city limits. If the city had purchased this
land, it would have been actually necessary that tho
fcthtr lying alongside of it and I he Philadelphia line
would liave ulso to be paid for out of the treasury,
and then also the Legislature would have had to lie
applied to, for an - extension of the city
boundary line. To this curtailment o'r
their lands the Delaware county folks
have already objected, and they would probably have
defeated any such measure. An.Wiow, this "little
plum ' for -somebody was dropped only for other
epots to Hhow themselves. Aud iu some of these
. places some or our City Fathers were personally In
terested. Obi we can call to mind was located in
the Twenty-Boeond ward, and although a few acres
if It belong'sd to one of the gentlemen composing
the committee, he was modest enough, when t lie
' vote was taken on its accept ante in committee, to
refrain from costing his builot. lie acceded gra'-e-lully
to the deieat which his measure sustained, and
lie has continued to lahur zealously ever since.
However, an histaneo has recently occurred with
referencoto U:e j-.U-ubsoi bliig project which shows
that some men to whom wo trust our financial
affairs are not so scrupulous. About a year since the
Isaac Pearson Furui. on tho Delaware, at Torres
dale, was visited, uim it received a passing notice,
but after tlio coiumi'.t-'c Juir, it, like till tte oilier uu
Buccessful places, was forgotten. A year slipped by,
and Oeorge Chirk, JUsti., a farmer residing near
ilolirk'jtburg, extemk-d uu Invitation to the commit
tee, whUdt was accepted. Ssven of the twelve mem

Council is interested to tho extent of several u'4r
naurl doUnrs in tho Pearson properly, and tha 'l
Was through his vote that k majority of tho sevi.''11
was secured In favor or recommending ho farm.
At the last meeting of Councils the fight had be
come so bitter with refereuce to the selection of
thpse two lt that a disinterested member pro
posed that both branches of the, legislative depart
ment of tho eltj should ropatr to them, and then
Judge for theni.sx'lves. This was readily agreed to,
and to-day wn fixed npoa as the occasion of the
ofhclal visit. The champions of the two farms have
been busily e ngaged in hunting up facts and figures
to bo presented at tfce convocation to-dav. The
Pearson representative claims for his site tlie supe
riority of access to ltTroin the city, tho presence of
the Delnwaro on one side, and Its increased valua
tion, lie states that the property Is assessed on tho
books st fNi.ooo, while the Clark farm Is only valued
at ',Oimi. nut the representative of the Clark farm
states thut this in not so, claiming that the books at
tlm olllce of the Hoard or Kevtslon of Taxes show
that while tho Pearson farm Is placed at J-M.ono, but
one hundred and sixty acres of the two hundred and
odd of the Clark site Is alued at over t-M.Ooo.
Then, also, lie clHlins that the Clark land is far more
healthily situated, nnd Is Just as convenient or access.
The light Is an interesting one, and we look anxiously
for its termination.

Hlory Window to Hnvo Her Idle She In not
Fxpceled to Mnrvlvo Ilrr lii.lurlcn.
Unrly this mornpig a tire broke out in a row or nine
frame dwellings situated ou Point street, between
Pearl nnd Linden, Camden. The buildings were the
property of Garrison, Ollilnghain A Co., nnd were
occupied by the hands working In tho mill or that
llrnj. The tiro was nrst discovered in house No. 4i;t.
the second from the south end of the row, occupied
by .lohu l'ox and William Klllott. The cause of the
fire Is supposed to be a drlcctlve Hue. The family,
In their endeavors to slop tilt) progress of the name's,
were all more or loss burned ;-tiud when at last they
found that tho building could not be saved, it was
too lute to remove the furnllure, nil or which waV
lost. Mr. Illiott was ba lly burned, also his wife: and
live children. Ills aged molhcr was thrown from tin!
second story window, and received Injuries nilriV
burns. She Is so badly injured that her recovery Is
not thought possible. Tho Humes spread rapidly to
the whole block, all or which Is n total wreck. It
was first discovered about a o'clock, and by mo
ttling remained.
Mr. Woodiow, residing nt No. 415, the next liouso
to where the tire started, lost the whole or his rurni
ture. Tho families in the other houses escaped un
injured, and saved most of their property. The loss
Is estimated to be about tc.oeo, ono hair covered by
Insurance. The proprietors and citizei.s or Camden
are taking every care of the suilcrers. ami contribu
tions lire being received for their relief. The mill
and lumber-yard of the owners Is situated, directly
oppobtte to the lire, anil was in Imminent danger.
A row of two-story brick dwellings, facing on Pearl
street, was also threatened, the families moving
their ('fleets In great hustc from the houses. An
other lumber-yard was in close proximity to the
lire, but escaped without loss. A lire In Camden at.
the present time may become very extensive, the
fire department being In a very disorganized state.
The volunteer department Is mostly disbanded, and
the paid department is not yet in working order. Of
the four volunteer companies only two were In ac
tive ser lee, one having sold their carriage and an
other their nose. A scarcity ot water was also fnit,
owirg to the insufficient size of water-pipes. No
Philadelphia companies were present

The inhabitants of the usually quiet, suburban
retreat called Germantown were lust night awakened
from their slumbers about 10 o'clock by the clanging
of lire bells, and a glance outside revealed to the
viewers Hut fact of the existence of un unusually
large lire for that pluce. Located on tjueeti street,
formerly known as Indian riicen lane, a few rods
west nf tiermaiitown avenue and directly in the rear
of the Lutheran church, was a two-and-a-half-story
stone building, formerly used n't a Lutheran school
house, but ol lata extensively improved and occupied
by Smith K. Hughes as a steam planing-mill and car
penter shop. In the engine-room of this establish
ment the lire originated, and owing to the combusti
ble nature of tho contents the names spread so
rapidly that all nttempts to save tlie structure
proved futile, and in three-quarters or an hour alter
the sounding of the alarm the walls fell with
a crash resembling a discharge of artillery.
Tlie eastern wall fell outwards nnd Into the grave
yard attached to the church named, completely
covering a number of graves and destroying sundry
tombstones. Attached to tho muin building on the
west was a frame shed used for the storage or lum
ber, and well tilled wiUi seasoned boards; this, with
the entire contents, was destroyed. Prom hero the
flames communicated to the two and a half-story
cottage on the west, occupied by Dr. Durragh, the
root and upper story or which went to reed the
Haines, and a back building was turned into a mass
of cinders. Fears were at one time entertained that
the flames might spread still fun her -westward, but
owing to the exlsteut amount of space between the
dwellings on thut thoroughfare such was fortunaicly
not the case.
Mr. Hughes estimates his loss at 112,000, upon
which he has an insurance or JfiiOoO.
The lire Is ths largest and most destructive one
that has visited Gerniantown since the burning of
Armstrong's mills on Wistar street.
GOVERNMENT SEIZURE.

Special Deputy Collector Huckel and Surveyor
Goodrich yesterday paid a visit to the ship-yard of
Messrs. Neallo A- Levy, Kensington, in pursuance or
orders received lrom Secretary or tho Treasury
Houtwel, nnrl there seized the ram Atlanta, lor
alleged violation of the neutrality laws.
Deputy Collector Huckel placed a Custom-house
nicer on board, and instructed the commanding
oillcer of the revenue cutter Moccasin to furnish
every assistance required to prevent any infringe
ment of the neutrality laws.
1 he Atlanta has been for some time at Messrs.
Kealie A- Levy's yard undergoing very extensive re
pairs, and it has been rumored that her intentions
were to help the struggling patriots or Cuba. Within
the last week an armament or rour lixi-pounder Par
rot t guns has been put on board, and it is supposed
mm tins waritKe demonstration wustne cause lor
the seizure.
The Season of Winter Our city bears a some
what wintry aspect: the scum-like thickness or Ice
upon our outlying brick ponds has raised expecta
tions equal, it not exceeding, "Pip's" in measure,
und sand-paper is in demand; skate-straps and
buckles are also being searched up, and the juveniles
are eager Tor the ball to rise. Old Boreas, too, seems
bent upon assuming the master hand, and it behoves
the wearers or long hose to see to its whiteness, and
at the same time, it blpe lal humanity will wear silk .
huts, let tnem oy an means wear a luring size, lor
nothing more resembles the antics of frog than one
of these specimens iu pursuit of his tile.
The sitting rooms of our hotels are now well pa
tronized, and many an idler will while the hours
away in-doors, forced there by the atmosphere's cool
braclncss, who would otherwise degrade himself and
disgrace his sex by ogling the various female prome
tiaders; for this, we suppose, the "dears" will thank
Old Boreas, although the old gent Is, at times, some
what rude himself. Speaking of the promenade re
minds us thut it is not what it used to was. The
gossamer fabrics and delicate hues of summer dra
pery havo ull been exchanged for the livery of win
ter. Mulls have taken the place of fans, and velvet
cloaks of luce mantles, paper-soled, body contortion
ing, high thimble-heeled shoes have given way to
others more satiable and endurable, and nature has,
for the time being, placed a discount upon ruu;ie.
Our furriers cuunietiuueeshave lost their melancholy
cast, and are now redundant, in smiles. The coal
men, too, are happy, and us busy as bees In spring
time ; whilst our house-providing establishments are
putting away their summer wures, aud turniug their
attention to wuiilc-lrons and cake-turners. Tlio
brcnkfast-table, too, Is moro alluring through its ad
juncts of Hnusuge aud buckwheat cakes. Everything

TlH PA.AT!t. EsTAHLtSITMICNT OF .1. K. CA1,PWl.t,
A co. The marble psiace No. B02 Chesnnt street,
constituting the rich casket in which are enshrined
the nre and elegant articles of Jewelry and line arts
ended from all quarters of the globe for the patrons
of Messrs. J. K. Caldwell A Co., in its luxurious ap
pointments is unsurpassed In NewYork or any famous
European capital. The oft-praised stores of Tdl'''"?
A Co., and Ball, Black A Co., with thoir jvOorten
floors snd meagre depths, cannot bear tho compari
son. Now, as before the late lamentablo conflagra
tion, the building is a four-storied structure, having
a chaste marble elevation; it boa thirty-three feet
frontage on Chcsnut street, aud extends In deptu
two hundred and thirty-five reet.
The whole of this great building is devoted to the
needs of the vast business transacted by this worthy
firm. The large cellars are devoted to the storage of
goods, while the well lighted room directly under tho
vaultilght is appropriated to the polishers, and to the
department for the carrlago of parcels. A tour nu
dcrground reveals the scrupulous pains taken to
secure a lire-proof store. At short spaces are Iron
Joists, across the Intervals of which are sprung
brick arches; and down the centre of the celltrs ex
tends a line of huge Iron girders supported by w rought-
iron columns; inns is constituted a nrc-prooi un
for tho first story that would probably iear a
weight a hundred-fold greater tian will ever be im
posed upon in, Vaults lor the storago of valuable
goods are also formed, us impregnable to fiery as
saults as hniiuin Kkill can devise. The front of the
second story Is occupied by the wa'.ohinakers. The
rear Is devoted to the accommodation of the young
gentlemen of tho establishment, and nil tlio conve
niences and rcilceinent or a homo are provided for
those who sojourn there. A library, pluno, games,
foils, nnd other means or pastime are liberally fur
nished, suited to the tastes or these cultured gentle
men. Attached to the front and rear 'f this story
are rope ladders always at hand, to all'ord instanta
neous exit in case or lire. The third story Is ap
propriated to the engravers and clock repairers,
whilethe fourth floor U occupied by the Jeilera.
'1 he first, or store floor, however, constitutes the
greatest source of attraction to casual vistors, and
especially In its Inner details Is it unsurpassed
throughout Hie world. The most cultured taslo
could not detect a flaw In the exquisite combination
of richnuss or material with ileliecy or ornamenta
tion. The flooring Is large slabs or pure white mar
ble, the color of which 13 heightened by the Inlay
ing Of a very small square of black marble at each
ol the corners. Kiegaiitly carved counters of mar
ble of the llncst Unlnh tire artistically disposed on
either side, extending to the limit, of the silver
ware department, upon which rests cusps of plato-ohu-s.
hcaoeil within wilh wondrous stores ot
jewelry, plate, and gems. Against each of the walls
are rows of superbly carved walnut taes, the
bodies retueting tne origin, piienac nnisii, wiiue me
panels have the exquisite French linlsh Hint rivals
rosewood. Between each of theim cases and at the
reur of this hall are magnificent plate mirrors, mul
tiplying the gorgeous riches that are strewed about.
lhe skylights are unique, most artistically de
signed, and are the first in our cily strictly nreproof.
They are three in number, the centre one circular,
and the others elliptic in torm. Kach or them con
stitutes a weight of ten tons to be supported, yet. the
architect has so well proportioned the iron beams
that the eil'ect is most graceful, nnd the light is the
purest. The frescoing in gold and delicate colors is
in hnrmony with the surroundings, and Is so woa
drously beautiful as to defy the power of words to
depict the charm of its oihorlulticss.
As to the stock that. Messrs. Caldwell display In
this palatial store, the articles must, be seen to be
appreciated. In a word, everything ollcred lo their
customers is as strictly first-class us tin; Arm ltaelf.
If so minded, one can buy from the shelves a set of
silverware costing JiO(K), choice presents for golden
weddings from a couple of itupklu-rings worth fl.'.O
to more expensive goods; and solitaire diamonds or
peurls, set in rings or pins, running up to live thou
sand dollars in price. The choicest laboratories of
Continental Kurope have been ransacked for articles
of beauty and artistic finish. The whole rear of the
Btore is devoted to the Bronze department,
containing the most. complete assort
ment ever offered to our citizens. Side by side
stand tlie silver-hued aluminium bronzes, the green
colored figures that reveal their llomau studios, tho
dark, chocolute-shaded bronzes thut tell of tho
Florentine art, the copper colored statuettes from
Paris, and the golden bronzes. Art appears in other
attractive forms, and the palutings of Baumgartner,
Carl Milner, Boutelle. and others are worthy of close
study. Indeed, the limner Alps, the Bavarian Alps,
the home scenes or the Friar Before and After Dinner,
and the Highlands on the Hudson, are tit-blta of
paintings.
The resources of such an establishment would be
deemed inexhaustible by any one less rich than
Aladdin of genii mme ; yet ample arrangements also
exist to cater to the most fastidious tastes. As a
single Instance ot this completeness existing in all
the "departments, the fact need only bo mentloued
that a few paper packages in a box that might be
stowed away under tho coat were exhibited to us
yesterday, containing unset diamonds, sapphires,
rubies, pearls, aniethysls. etc., worth fully jr,u,ouo,
ready to be mounted In any form desired.

extent in many purls of tin; country appears to ba
on the Increase in our midst, our fashiouabie cir

in the Court of Common Pleas, in which Mrs.
Koecker brings an action agaiiiBt lier hnsband, Dr.
Leonard It. Koecker, for a divorce, based on a
charge of adultery. The prosecutrix was formerly a
Miss Melizet, of this city, and the respondent is well
known us an accomplished and skiirul surgeon den
tist, whose olllce, in Walnut street above Thirteenth,
is largely patronized by our best citizens when their
rlental organs get out of order, und prevent them
from giving their tenderloin or canvas-buck the
mastication required to extract the life-sustaining
juices. The rloctor rendered himself very popular
during the late "unpleasantness" with the south by
the energy and activity with which he managed the
affairs of the amateur drawing room entertainments,
from which a large pecuniary benefit was derived for
the finds of the Sanitary Commission.
He is also celebrated as a connoisseur in matters
of line arts, especially those of bijouterie and vertu,
or.ns Mrs. Partington erroneously calls them, bigotry
and virtue. The caBe has been referred to L Clarke
Davis, Ksq., as fin examiner. Messrs. Gillou are
counsel for Mrs. K., and Messrs. W. L. Hirst and
McKlroy for the Doctor. The friends or the parties
are divided lu their opinions as to the guilt or Inno

Fikkt Troop Philadkai'iiia City Cavai.uy
Professor Falrman Rogers having resigned the cap
taincy of this ancient and honorable organization,
Mr. M. Kdward Hogers was at the lat meeting of tlie
troop elected, aud yesterday sworn in to fill the va
cancy. Proressor Itogers has served us Captain ror
several years, and his resignation was a source or
deep regret to all the members of the company. The
newly elected Captain has been an active member
for a number of years, and participated iu the three
mouths' service, as well asm the Gettysburg cam
paign. He is a most eillcient and popular ofllcer, and
we doubt not his election wilt greatly promote the
best interests of the troop.
Mr. J. Francis Maher, Second Lieutenant, litis been
promoted to the First Lieutenancy. Mr. Mahnr'a
long and devoted attachment to tlie Interests of tho
company eminently entitled him to this promo
tion. ,
We are plensed to learn that renewed Interest Is
manifested among the members, who confidently
expect under the new renime au era of marked pros
perity'. On the 17th Instant tlie members will unite
ami celebrate in a grand dinner the ninety-sixth ()
anniversary of the organization of the company.
There are but few Institutions or organizations In
our new country thut can date buck so far, and cer
tainly none can present a more honorable record.
It deserve the countenance and support of our
ilizens, and the young gentlemen or tho city who
have the time and means should enroll ihcir names
us active members.

The convention of Infidels, atheist, and secular
ists continued their session during the whole of
yesterday and part of to-day. Tho proceeding.
thus far show rather a poor state of prosperity for
followers of that creed. They certainly deserve
credit for perseverance under great difficulties and
disappointments. The financial reports show any
thing but a favorable side. They despise not the day
of small things. But If with their puny efforts their
contributions or cents and dollars, they hope to over
throw the Christian religion, with It million of
money and Its myriad of followers, the times have
greatly charged. Christian need not be greatly
disturbed, thinking that a handful of fanatics can
shake the firm foundation on which they stand. Of
the twenty men composing the convention, not more
than half-a-dozen were even ablo to make a
papsable speech, or even to talk correctly.
Truly this Is a great array of talent and
education, of master minds and shining
intellects, to stand against the world. Think
they that, many men will be moved by their exer
tions, and become their disciples. They will have to
back up their good cause, not their strong cause
support them. If tho foundation is of such shaky
material as this, whnt can we expect for the build
ing? One noticeable feature is the frequency with
which they quote from the Great, Book which they
all aflcct to despise. One would think thai, all men
tion of a bookjso disreputable a it is regarded by
them would be nvohled. Their cries for help nre
plaintive, but who will regard their pravers ror
money, men, helpers or all sorts, books, lecturers,

trivial to deserve further mention

THE NEW YOItK MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts snow the stato of the New
i ork money market yesterduy :
From the Herald.
"The week opened on a very dull state of aMaira
in Wall street. The money market was a sttado
more active to borrowers ou stocks, aud six and
Beven per cent, were paid on call loans with pledge
of such securities. Lenders seemed to manifest a
preference for Government bonds as collaterals, and
In the pressure to employ balances loaned at four
and Hve percent. The amount of capital in tho street
is still very abundant, but all'ord s very little relief to
tho merchants, who are under tho necessity of pay
ing extreme rates for the discounting of their paptsr.
The stringency In this line is such that rates have
become quite nominal. The suspension of Messrs.
A. Biulnger &, Co., a very old importing liquor
house, was reported on the street to-day, but with
the modification that their assists are far in excess or
their liabilities, and that tho suspension li only tern,
porary, tho firm encountering the rllfllculty above
referred to or negotiating their paper at reasonable
rates. The same report led to rumors of failures In
the dry goods and woollen trade, which could not bo
traced to any reliable authority. Under a diminu
tion of the supply or commercial bills the prime
bankers advanced their quotations for foreign ex
change an eighth per cent, for sterling. The Gov
ernment market was extremely dull, and prices
Bteady in sympathy with the firmer tone of
tho gold market. The leading issues fluc
tuated only a quarter per cent, on extreme
quotations. In Southern securities there were
no new features in the more speculative bonds,
the market being steady,except the new Tennessees,
which were higher. Tlie Alabama eights developed
strength, owing to the proximity of the time for the
payment of t he semi-annual interest. The Govern
ment market closed with the following street

"A reactionary tendency in gold was assisted bv
the apprehension that the death of Victor Emanuel
would produce a heavy and disturbed state of atl'alrs
on the Purls Bourse, which would occasion a decline
in rentes and also in consols ut London, with au
eventual effect upon the market here. The price
was very strong at PiOMaiuiit,'. until the receipt of
the afternoon cable despatches aunouncingthe
anxiety felt abroad concerning the health of the
Italian King, when It rose to 127."

Eruptions.
The Panama Star and Herald of October 28 con
tains the following:
"The much talked about predictions of earth
quakes, high tides, and the like unpleasant pheno
mena during the tirst days of this month, have
had their eilect upon tho minds of the people in Val
paraiso. Many families both here and in the
capital have temporarily forsaken their comfortable
homes and moved into the open country, at great
Inconvenience to themselves, and business has. of
course, also suil'ered accordingly. Suiilce It to say
that nothing unusual has occurred here, at ail
events, and tho topic of earthquakes, etc., is now
at last being discarded.
"A gentleman in Buenaventura writes ns as fol
lows: I have received by a private letter news of a
distressing character from tlio interior. On the
morning of the 4th, about half-past two o'clock, a
violent eruption of the volcano Purace, situated
some lifteeu or twenty miles from Popayan, occur
red, and immense quantities of brimstone und ashes
were r jeetcd.
"Two or three villages in the neighborhood are
supposed to have been completely destroyed, to
getlur with ull their inhabitants. .Soon after the
time at which the eruption took place the water in
tlie river Cauca, at Popn.v.iii, rose a loot higher than
usual, and the rapid current caused thereby carried
down a great quantity of the oifensivo Java thickly
strewn with the bodies of those wiio had lost their
lives by the eruption, and also the carcasses of many
animals killed in the same way. At 11 o'clock
ou the morning of the 4tli the river Cauca was quite
dry.
'Tlie Governor of the department, fearing that
another and more serious rise in tho river mltiht
occur at other points, ordered tho inhabitants of the
(lillert ut villages along the river batiks to move with
their cuttle to Dm higher lauds, where they would
bo safe.
