TOE DAILY EVENING' TELEGRAriTPniLA DELPni A.F 19, 1869. 8 CITY 1 WTELL1 U 15 Vt IS. a surrosEii murder. Am Old IW" Fonnd Trend In th Htret with a Wound the J.elt Temple. The resident of the lower section of oar city, tore especially those of the old district of Houtti wark, were thrown Into a fever-heat of excitement about half past 11 o'clock last night by the discovery of the dead body of an old man In Beck street, directly In the rear of the old Southwark Hall. By many It was at first supposed that he had been mur dered, but subsequent Investigation revealed the fact that the man came to his death through an acci dent. The facts of the case are these: Situated at the corner of Bwanson and Bonk streets Is a dance bonne known as the New York House, the place is a general resort for a certain set of a seamen, who, while In port, spend their leisure hoars and their hard-earned wages therein. Karly last evening a party of these men, princi pally employed on board of the Southern steamer, who had Just been paid oil, entered this place, and soon the sounds of music, dancing, and carousing were heard. All went on" well until about 9 o'clock, when a stranger entered the place, and a slight dis turbance arose, which ended in his being ousted. "Not being disponed to thus give up the battle, he went In search of sonic of hi friends, also seamen, but belonging to another vessel, and, returning with ihem, commenced stoning the place. A number also entered, and soon several parties were rolling and gouging each other. The women immediately set around the floor of the drlnkcry, cursing, biting, up the cry of murder, and soon word was conveyed to the Second District Station House of the row. Thla was about tweutj-Dve minutes past 11 o'clock. Lieutenant Errlckson at .once Matted down Beck street, and near Groverraet a man coming west. Ills attention was attracted to nlm. and he Immediately questioned the young man who had brought the news of the row, If ho was one of the parties to this; he received a negative an swer, and he kept'on his way. Proceeding to tho scene of the disturbance he arrested one of tno par ties, and returned with his prisoner through Beck street again, when, at the Intersection of drover street, he discovered tho man mentioned lying In the street; stooping down, he felt Ills pulse, and Imme diately said to his prisoner, "This man Is dead," con tinuing on to tho station-house, only a few steps dis tant, he procured a stretcher, and, returning, con veyed the body to the hall. f'arly this morning Chief Kelly and detective offi cers Gordon aud Franklin proceeded thereto, and at once commenced investigations. it was tirst ascertained that the deceased was named William Carmines, aged about fifty-five years, and resided at No. 14 Beck street. On learn ing this the olllcers vialteu No. 14, and there met the deceased's aged wife. From her they obtained the following statement: She and her husband were in bed, when they were awakened by the cries of mur der; much against her desire he expressed his In tention of going for tho police, and dressing himself started oil, she accompanying him to the door; In a few miuutes after he left she saw Lieutenant Krrlck son pass by ; Bhe saw nothing more of her husband until she looked upon his dead body at the station house. On being questioned by the olllcers she stated that she did not think he had been foully dealt with, but that on the contrary he had hnen over come by the excitement, and falling hod inilicted the wound which caused his death. Some time ago, she said, her husband, ho thnn followed the sea for a livelihood, had received severe Internal injuries in a collision between t wo vessels, aud since that time he has always been ailing, their family physician had constantly warned him to avoid any kind of excitement, always expressing the fear that he would be taken oil' suddenly. At the place where the body was found the curb stone Is somewhat raised, and In his weakness it Is supposed, the deceased tripped, and falling heavily, his left temple striking the curb Inflicted a wound which caused almost Instant death. Frankmn Institute The regular meeting was held as usual on Wednesday evening, with Mr. Cole man Sellers, Vice-President, in the chair. After the usual business of reports, etc., Profes sor Henry Morton, Ph. D.,the Resident Secretary, read his report on Novelties In Science and the Me chanic Arts. The machines and processes described were illus trated by diagrams and photographs projected on the screen by means of the lantern which has been so admirably arranged lor me purpose. Mr. W. Parke's method In constructing the exten sive breakwater for the harbor of liurrachee. iu India, whereby the blocks of concrete, weighing twenty-seven tons, each were placed regularly in a solid wall twenty-four feet thick, was first described and Illustrated. Tho application of tho American tube-well to submarine springs of fresh water on the Austrian coast was then explained, Tho opening of the Suez Canal lor November IT was announced, and the structure and erection of wrought Iron chimneys of 197 and 275 feet in height at Crcmot lnlKrance, were also described. Illustrations and descriptions were also Riven of Mr. Hessemer's new high-pressure cupola furnace, of the new tables for drawing teeth of wheels, of a machine for turning crank plus, and one for punch ing rails, aud also the water lifter and the locomo tive exhaust by Mr. Alexander Morton, of Glasgow, the Inventor of tho ejector condenser. The lighting of the Reading Kailroad coal depot at "Richmond, by means of the lime light, was described by Professor Morton, and the causes which had rendered these experiments more successful than could have been anticipated, lie also descrinod the experiments by which ho had demonstrated the origin of the light line In the partiul phase eclipse pictures to be of chemical origin, and not resulting from a lunar atmosphere, as had been very generally AS&lUllCil Mr. S. Scharirs combined water fllterand coolers were exhibited working, and notices of many scienti fic investigations, Buch as those of Professor Rood on velocity of electricity, aud Professor Augstrom on the spectra of the aurora, zodiacal light and occa sional phosphorescence of the sky, which we have not space to mention. TnK Raising Of thb Steamboat Sam cf.i, m. Fei. ton. One of the least promising wrecks ever under taken to be raised was that of the tine new iron steamboat Samuel M. Felton. We yesterday saw her upon Moore's dry dock, In Wilmington. In a tshort time she will return to the Delaware virtually a new boat. She sank in consequence of striking, in a heavy fog, a submerged dock opposite Claremont. The point of concussion was Just in front of her boilers. The shock relt the heavy Iron plating along a line of twenty-tive feet in length, making an open ing about an inch In width. As the tide settled so did the Felton. The rock pushed np through her bottom, and so completely broke her hull as to leave It fastened only by the decks. Ten of the deck beams were literally forced upwards. The broken part was then from twenty-four to thirty-six Inches wide. When she came to a level bottom the opening di minished about five Inches. To raise a wreck so de plorable was something presenting something in aspect like a forlorn hope. The work was ultimately done, and with a degree of success which shows that while Messrs. Mason, llobbs A Co. continue to ex tend their facilities as wreckers to the underwriters of this port, there Is no occasion to seek elsewhere. The work of raising the wreck was done by means tf chains and pontoons under the bows. A bulk head was next constructed under the koal. By powerful steam pumps the afterpart of the splendid boat was relieved from water. She then could be got nearer to Bliore. To replace the plating so us to set her to Wilmington gave a three-weeks' Job to a little anny of shipbuilders. The raising of her was done in a space of time shorter than any on record. We were told In Wilmington that parties in New "York had assured the owners of the steamer the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad Company that to bring the wreck ashore would cost an amount of money equal to her entire value. We are now as sured that, when ready to resume operations upon the river, she will be even more staunch thau ever. The entire gap on her hull was equal to nine hun dred Inches of Bpace a space equal In opening to Mm area of a barn door. Our Philadelphia wreckers hiM r..iMi-eci this art of raising sunken vessels to an exact science. They have all the accessories of powerful pontoons, sieum mgs, uivihk apparatus, mill exnerlenced divers. Their headquarters. No. 4!W South Delaware avenue, is a centre of attraction to nautical men.

Yesterday afternoon a young girl, who re sides with her parents at No. timeline street, which runs between Eighth and Ninth street, and South and Shippen, was shot in the leg as she was passing through the yard, and it Is supposed that the act was committed by a colored man named Daniel Thomas, about fifty years of age, who resides next door, and who is thought to have fired the shot from motives of revenge for some real or supposed injuries re ceived. The shot was fired through the fence or jrate of the yard, where the girl was at the time she was shot. A number of buckshot were found Im bedded In the fence, and two of thera entered the girl's leg, one passing entirely through, and the other was Imbedded In the fleshy part of the limb. Thomas Was arrested, and committed to prison to answer. Tub Salaries of School Teachers. In the re port submitted to the Board of Controllers with reference to an Increase In the salaries of the teach ers of the public schools, was a comparative state ment showing that these public agents were receiv ing lower wages than cooks, servants, coachmen, laborers, and policemen. Of this statement the New York Tribune says: "Here Is no glittering rhetoric to dazzle the Judg ment only facts. From them certain deductions are inevitable. For Instance, that the trainers of our children are less worthy than the trainers of our horses; that those who labor to teach the Ignorant the way In which they should go do not deserve as much salary as the policemen who incarcerate them when they stray ; that Is. that an ounce of preven tion is not better than a pound of cure." Rokrkkirk. As usual on holidays there were a number of robberies perpolrated yestardiy, the most of which took place during the passage of the mili tary parade. The reatdtnoe of Mrs. Gentner, No. lai S Wood s'P'ct, was entered by means of a rear window, and robbed of some jewelry, sliver coin, silver forks, and under-clothing. The house No. 118 8. Nineteenth street, occupied by Gordon Jlonges, was broken into while the family were viewing the parade. Tho thieves bundled up sllver-plute to the value of iiooo, with which they succeeded in getting away. The cellar door of John McDade, living at No. 1413 Shippen street, was forced open. The robbers only oDtaiued to from an upper story. Tea viaPacii io R. R We have received from Mr. W. M. ureiner, of this city, a package of tea received by way of the Pacific R. If.

He was taken to his home. A Correction, The following article from the Delaware Republi can has been copied by the press and deserves cor rection: It Ik allnced. ns one of the causes for the removal of Mr. Brewster iioin the office of Attorney-General, that he no- f leeted to attend to the cases of the Commonwealth when irouKht to trial in tbe proper court that he entrusted nearly all tne important suns to a law Htuaent, Drougiu up in his own office, and that this young law student was suf fered to urapple alone witn tne best talent oi tne rttato, employed by large corporations and others to defend their Interest betot-e the court, if this allocation be correct, then it win full time Mr. Brewster had notice to quit, and auotnorwiio would attena personally to tuo interests oi the Commonwealth appointed in bis place. We are satis fied that Governor Geary had good cause for the move ment, or it would not have been made. The charne that the cliuniie was broutiht about by certain politicians is n t to be relied un by any weans, and thou who make it do not understand the mutter as thoroughly as their loud talking ard blueteriog would lead the public to believe" The young lawyer referred to is James W. M. Newlin, Esq., of thiB city, formerly Deputy Attorney General. The Republican omits to state the Import ant fact that the "young lawyer" In question icon every one of these important corporation cases for the State. The suits were against nearly every leading railroad, mining, and transportation com pany in the Commonwealth. In the court below (Judge Pearson; most of tho cases were decided In favor of the State. Those In which the docislous were adverse to the Commonwealth were taken to the Supreme Court and there reversed, and the cases finally deckled In favor of the State. It Is prop or to add that when these cases (In volving several hundred thousand dollars per annum to the State) came up In the Supreme Court, they were submitted by the Commonwealth without oral argument on long printed arguments, Willi were prepared by ilr. Xtulin. Mr. Newlin was then out of office, and the e.x-Attorney-Geueral, Mr. R. H lirewster, appropriated these arguments as his oloin, and In his "plea for place" we mean his unauthorized relort to the Governor on the sute of his ome made Just before the election he takes great credit to himself for having won these same cases for the Commonwealth. Doubtless the late nm law officer" was actuated Id the premises by that "high sense of honor" for which he says he Is ultiultn.UjQeu, WYOMING Trnahlea In the New Terrltory-TIi Klmt An. prarunc sr the Uveror-Aa Amln Maea. A quarrel has sprung np between the Legislature of the new Territory of Wyoming and Governor Campbell. No one seems M understand what it was all about or what the Legislature expect to make by Its hostility. The Omaha Herald, a Democratic paper, Is the leader of the Legislative party, though published hundreds of miles from the scone of the conflict. It charges the Governor with trying to thwart the wishes of the people, and with removing the post traders at the forts because they would not attempt to control the votes of the soldiers In the Interests of the Republican party. The correspon dent of the Chicago Tribune, at Cheyenne, tells the following amusing story of the Governor's first ap pearance before trie people of Wyoming: It appears that the Governor and his suite arrived at Cheyenne late In the week, and on the following Sunday these gentlemen, as was their custom, ap peared In their iicst clothes and longest faces. Tho Governor Inquired If there were services, and was Informed by a citizen that "they didn't do that sort of thing out there much." On further Inquiry the pious man learned there was "a sort of meetln' house up town, but It was not used often, though they had spiled one of the bCBt lots In the city to build It." Soon after breakfast a committee called on the Gover nor and Informeil him there was to be a big Sunday "hoss race," and they would like to have him act as "judge." The Governor : declined, bowed the committee, out and they at oncejheld a consultation, when It was unanimously agreed that as the "Go vernor did not like hoss racing they would arrange a prize lite," and the chairman returned and addressed his Excellency thus: "I say, Guvnor, we hav kou klooded not to have a hoss race, bnt to hov a prize lite, and would like yon to Jedge it." The Governor again declined, with thanks, when the committee departed in high dudgeon, aud one of thnm said: "That feller Is might stuck up. and Is tryin' to play Grunt on us by relusln' of all our honors ; but he kiu go to the devil, for all we keer. so he kin." Ail day committees kept calling, inviting the Governor to foot races, dog fights, cockpits, and other Sunday games peculiar to tho frontier, when, at length, worn out and disgusted, his Excellency put on his hat. nnd, accompanied by his stair, walked out tu stroll abont the city and escape annoyance. Going above the town, the party entered the graveyard, and was surprised to notice but a few gravestones put up, while a large number of boots were seen stick ing out of the ground. The Governor inquired what It meant, aud a citizen explained than when a man was hung by the vigilantes they burled him so as to have the feet sticking out, while only those who died naturally were burled In tho regular way and enti tled to gravestones 1 The Governor gave a look at the many boot soles sticking np all around him, and then at the scattering headboards, and, with a shake of the head, left the place, evidently not very favora bly impressed with the peaceful and orderly charac ter of the people he had come to preside over. THE CHICAGO HORROR. Death of the Unfortunate Vielliii Coroner's Verdict AcrIuh( the Phveleinnn. The Chicago Republican of Novcmoer 17 !has the following particulars of the case of Lucy Kelly in Chicago: The unfortunate victim or tho horrid medical butchery, practised by Dr. Strafford, of which the public has already been informed, expired at an early hour yesterday morning all that Kind atten tion, careful nursing, and SKllful medical attendance could do having been fruitless. Young and beauti ful fair, but oh ! how fallen she has passed from a world which had brought her little else thun shame and sorrow. Of the particulars or this terrible case of destruction or hum a a life, through the barbarism of one of the "specialists" of this city, It Is hardly necessary or appropriate to speak fully. The nature of many or these statements 1b too horrible, and at the same time disgusting, for publication. At all events, the girl Is dead ; and there can be no doubt as to the cause of her untimely dissolution. The little that is known of the history or Lucy Kelly would be neither Interesting to tbe general public orofiru- Sortance In connection with the facts pertaining to er death. Whatever idle curiosity there may be ex cited must be for the present satiated with the sim ple fact that she has parents and .friends living, very respectable people, who have been notified of her demise, and who will, doubtless, sjon arrive and take fiossesslon of her remains. Iu case they do not, the uneral will be suitably conducted nnder the direc tion of the keeper or the house In which she died. Coroner ClcavcB, last evening, on the strength or the post-mortem examination testimony of Drs. Pitcher and Wlckershnm, swore out a warrant against Dr. II. K. Stratford for the murder of Lucy Kelly, alius Patterson. The warrant was issued by Commissioner Hrown, and executed by Detective SiliiSrott, who arrested Stratford at his residence, No. 750 Wabash avenue, at 8 o'clock last night. The prisoner was lodged in the Armory. ROCHEFORT. Ills Electoral Address to the Parisians. The Jiappel publishes tbe following electoral ad dress from Henri Rochefort, iu reply to an address pointing cut the course laid down fur M. Gambetta, and accepted by him : Citizens: The programme you present to me Is that of the republicans of '1)2. This Is to say to you thut 1 accept it absolutely, and that I can only give greater stress to Its execution, lor the mission or the deputy to-day Is not to reclaim our rights but to re conquer them by all possible means. The promises made to us have, up to the present, only resulted lu betrayals ; all tho liberties granted ns have proved deceptions. Since the despots derive such incom prehensible satisfaction in destroying or brutalizing the people, it Is time to demonstrate, not bywords, but acts, thut there la peril In doing so. In presence of the bloody scenes which the demands of labor cause almost periodically, It is impossible for us to seek the evil bus . at Its root. Exter mination is no answer, and the half . of France cannot continually raise su ascriptions to inter the other.

We find the following in the Uarrisbnrg I'utriot of Wednesday : Michael t lricn resides about tnree-rourins or a mile from HighBPire. Karly yesterday morning his quiet abode wus disturbed by the noise of two men who were making vigorous euons to enter me building. Mr. Vlrlch's wife hearing that the noc turnal visitors were working Industriously at the back door, proceeded cautiously In the direction of the scene of operations to Intercept their ingress. She saw that they were making rapid inroads that the door was yielding to their efforts and, with an uplifted hatchet, awaited tbetr coming. As soon as their ugly forms appeared, Mrs. L'lrlch brought Into requisition her weapon. She had scarcely struck at the burglars before a shot was llred by one of them, taking effect lu her hand. Finding that successful resistance under such unfavorable circumstances was Impossible, she hurriedly repaired to her room and procured a gun with which to defend herself. The burglars followed, and soon broke in the door, meeting the brave woman with the arms pointed at them One of the men succeeded in wresting the weapon of defense from her, when Bhe ascended the loft to escape from them. She had not been there long before her whereabouts were discovered, aud the uiirglaiB again pursued their victim, tiring seve ral shots promiscuously, none or which, we are happy to say, bad their intended effect In the meanwhile Mr. Ulrlch procured a hatchet and rol lowed the In truders, when they beat a hany retreat, without se. curit g any booty. A FEARFUL DEATH. An Old Man Consumed In nil Own lied. Michael Conneli, an old man sixty-nine years of age, was burnt to death on Sunday night, near Clarksvllle, Indiana. He and his family resided In a small cabin near Reach's cement mill, and the old gentleman had for several days been confined to his bed. His wife, Just before leaving the house to visit a neighbor, left a long stick or wood protruding from the stove, and this, fulling from the open door of the stove, Bet lire to the house. The lire was at length discovered by the neighbors, who heard the old man's cries for assistance, and ran to his rescue. iiioy uuisiupen me uoor only tonnd mat tne in side or the houso was all In flames, which leaped out through the doorway upon them as they attempted to enter. It was not until the building was almost entirely destroyed that tho fire was subdued, and not until the unfortunate old man had died a horrible death. Ills body was found in the ruins, so fright fully disfigured as to be unrecognizable. He was lying with his race downward when found, and one root and one hand had been burut entirely off. Dr. G. W.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Washington, Not. 19. A despatch has been received irom the commander of the West India Squadron, announcing the arrival of the Dicta tor nnd other iron-clads which sailed lately for that station. Tho Dictator experienced two severe galce, one off Ilatteras and another off the Georgia coast. She behaved splendidly, and no damages are reported. Ijite Cuban Advices. Late despatches from Cuba represent every thing quiet on the island, without any signs of commencement of active hostilities. The Albany, which left New York a few days ago, will, after discharging some arms at Key West, proceed to San Domingo, and will remain there to look after American Interests and pro tect American citizens. Judge Dent and the MimiiMlppI CanvaiM. Judge Dont left this morning for Mississippi, where he will re-outer the canvass in opposition to bis antagonist, Judge Alcorn. The under standing was that both parties should abandon the canvass,but this was only temporary, to allow Judge Dent to visit Washington. Despatches from friends Of administration in both Texas nnd Mississippi are of a character to indicate that they are hedging now, anticipating defeat in both States. The President himself is not as sanguine as he was some time ago, and the general impression is that the Conservative Re publicans will be successful. Cabinet Aleetlnjr. The Cabinet met at an early hour this morn ing. All the members wore present except Messrs. Hoar and Boutwcll, who were repre sented by their Assistants.

Tho following order received from the War Department Is published for the infor mation and government or all concerned : First. General orders No. 289, or November S8, 1S64, Is hereby rescinded and the following 1b substi tuted: Second. Military courts will be assembled at posts or stations where the aggregate expenses or trial or examination will be least. Third. The commanders or military divisions or departments within whose command military courts are assembled will decide what members or the courts are entitled to commutation or fuel and Juarters, and approve their accounts, without re erring them to this office. Fourth. The following principles will govern the decisions In such eases. 1. An officer on duty at any station when detailed on a court does not lose his right to fuel and quarters at that station while tem porarily absent therefrom, and cannot acquire the right to commutation by vacating his quarters for tnat purpose; ne must, iook to tne per diem allowed In paragraph 1187 General Regulations, and In gene ral orders No. 140 of 1863 for reimbursement of extra expenses. a. When the command to which an officer be longs changes station during his temporary absence, he loses bis right to fuel and quarters from the time It changes station, and does not acquire the right at its new station until he has reported for duty thereat; he Is therefore entitled meantime to quarters and fuel at the station where the court of which he is a member Is In Session. . f 8.
