The principal acquisition by the Fart Commission
In acknowledged to be the purchase of the Vflasa
hlckon creek and the banks one hundred feet or so
lying on either side of the stream. This valley can
not be excelled by any other similar tract of terri
tory in this conn try for the elegance of Its scenery.
Its beauty In marred here and there along the line of
the creek with rade structures In the shape oftpaper.
mills, which, nnder the clrcnrastanees attending the
purchase, can be removed on a comparatively short
notice. The commission can afford to allow
these ungainly piles or mortar and stone to
remain fer some time yet, and par Its particu
lar attention Immediately to what is not
only an eye-sore to the ' public, but a dis
grace to the city, on the lower banks of the
stream. None will gainsay that there should be
'stopping" places along this magnificent drive, but
now that this avenue is under the charge of the city,
her representatives should see that these places for
the renting of man and beast should be ef that order
that no gentleman would hesitate an instant about
taking his wife within their portals. Unfortunately,
there Is one at least at which no respectable gentle
man would be willing t allow his wife to mingle
with the crowd that patronizes 1U For a few years
back this institution
BA8 BKKN AN ABOMINATION,
and-lts proximity to the flnost drive within the city
limits has had the effect of compelling those who are
accompanied by their families to avoid that portion
of the Wlssahlckon, which in its grandeur of scenery
la not surpassed by any other part of the famous
stream, Several years ago the old
LOO CADIN
wwi a famous resort for the first families, and It has
been the Bccne of many a delightful occasion. A
narrow foot bridge spanned the stream, and the
western bank, shaded by trees whose ages are not
Known by the oldest inhabitant, during the latter
part of the hot summer days was occupied by sportive
children.
BUT NOW IIOW DIFFBRRNT !
From the old cabin a large and commodious look
rig establishment has sprung up, and Instead of the
unpretentious proprietor who UBed to serve np cat
flBh and coffee, we now have an Individual who has
acquired a notoriety for maintaining one of the most
damaging Institutions to the morals of the commu
nity in and around Philadelphia, and we are happy
to state that the place has received the official notice
of not only the park officials, but also of the Mayor.
Instead of the Innocent youth, we now have a crowd
of young men, some of whom seem to be candidates
for the gallows. In the olden time there were two
ld bears which the patrons used to take delight In
treating to a bottle of "ginger-pop." Now there is a
family of animals comprising monkeys, wolves, and
buffalo, some caged and some loose, with nothlag
but a chain to prevent them tearing to pieces the
visitor. The Society for the
PREVENTION OF CRCKLTY TO ANIMALS
will And here a buffalo with a huge ring through his
nose, which comes under the category of cruelty to
animals. At times, the youngsters who frequent
this locality annoy this animal and so enrage him
that the fearful plunges which he makes, one would
think, would tear away the cartilage through which
the ring Is placed, and if such an event did happen,
death would follow. The Old Log Cabin is now the
resert of the worst classes of society, and on any
fine afternoon the visitor will be disgusted with the
most beastly exhibitions. The villainous compound
disgnlsed nnder the name of whisky Is the princi
pal Ingredient disposed of, and it requires but a
swallow or two to show Its effect upon the lndulger.
As the sale of this stuff has been prohibited at the
Helmout Mansion, In the new Park, why should it
not be at this particular place, where no limit is
placed upon the quantity sold to any Individual?
it is said that this rendezvous has been engaged
for every afternoon and evening of the coming
summer by various associations, and to prevent the
revolting scenes that then the driving public will be
subjected to, demands the early attention of City
Councils. An appropriation should be immediately
made by them so that the Park Commissioners can
take the necessary steps to rid our citizens of this
pest-hole.
THKBB GLORIOUS (!) OCCASIONS
are not only confined to the week-day, but occur
on Sundays, and thus early in the season has the
day been disregarded by the tenants of the Old Log
Cabin. Numerous complaints have been made with
reference to the spot, and Captain Chasteau, of the
Park Guard, and Chief of Police Mulholland have
both been witnesses to the manner in which the
place is conducted. Sunday last was a beautiful day,
and iust such a one as to Induce a number of our
residents to take a drive. Before arriving at the
spot and just as it came into sight, the ear was
saluted with a heavy thug, as though blacksmiths
were at work, and the repeated sharp cracks of a
rifle. The cause of these noiBes is accounted for
as you drive nearer. An upright frame to test the
strength, and which requires the use of a sledge
hammer, explains the one and a shooting-gallery
the other.
ON APPROACHING THE CABIN ( !)
the eye encompasses within a scope of a
couple hundred yards a cage containing dis
trusting monkeys, a fox, a bear chained to a tree,
and a bear in a cage, a mammoth bloodhound, three
buffaloes, a large dancing floor, the strength tester,
the shooting gallery, and an Improvised lager-beer
Btand. All this In addition to the mala establish
ment, and all except the dancing-floor In fall blast.
The majority of the attendants are boys and girls
Tanging from twelve to twenty years of age, and
the behavior of some of them would be sufficient
to shock the feelings of their parents. The older
Dortlon of the patrons are content for the time with
imbibing of the stimulants, but shortly they resort
to the boats on the stream, and whither they go Is
only known to themselves. This place has been
justly denounced as a nuisance and curse upon the
morals of the city, and the sooner it la got rid of the
better.

Concerning Railroad Accidents. We have re
ceived the following communication, to which we
cheerfully give place:
PHiunrtxi-HiA, Wilmington, and Baltimore Rail-
JIOAD Uinc t, FuiLADtLl'HlA, May 6, IB 20.
Mior A'r'tti'f Trletiruph. lie kind enough to do Phila
delphia railroada the justiM to atata that nineteen- twee
titdlis of the caaoaltips reported in roar issue of toe 4tn
lost, as having occurred durinc the rear leoHj happeuel to
iwwn walking on the track or to employes working
about the road. Actually but four persons were killed or
injnrod on the cats of the different railroads centring in
this city during tbe above year. Respectfully,
li. KENNKY, Superintendent P., W., and B. R.R.
The list or railroad casualties as published by us
was taken from the official reports of the different
companies made to the Auditor-General, but we are
glad to know that nearly all of them were the result
of gross carelessness on the part of the persons In
jured. The habit of walking on railroad tracks, in
deed, Is so common that It is surprising there are
not more accidents than actually occur.
Thk Trinity Presbyterian Church. This build
ing, a fine stone structure, situated at the corner of
Fraukford road and Cambria streets is soon to be
entirely finished. The congregation, for some
months, have been worshipping in the lecture-room
or chapel attached to the main audience room,
which is capable of holding about 400 persons. Dur
lug the past week a festival was held la the main
audience room, which, although unfinished, afforded
accommodations for a large number of persons.
iJuring the evening addresses were made by the
pastor elect, Rev. Robert A. Brown, and Rev. Dr.
Nevin, Kev. William O. Johnstone, and others, and
a BumptuouH repast was served up. Subscriptions
are beinir solicited for the purpose of finishing the
main audience chamber. The congregation within
the past few nioutiig have succeeded in paying off
aa old debt of nearly 13000, leaving but a Biuali buib

The situation of affairs in Schuylkill county Is still
unchanged. From present Indications the prospects
seem favorable fer a continuance or the strike
through the entire summer; and trouble of a more
serious nature, should the strike continue for that
If nith of time, would not be entirely unexpected.
The great demonstration of the striking miners
took place at St. Clair on Monday. The procession.
lncludiBg about five thousand men, representing
nineteen districts, marched from St. Ciair to Port
Carbon and Pottsvllle, and from thence back ag.iin
to St. Clair, where a mass meeting was held. Oa
passing the office of trie Miner' Journal at Potts
vllle, groans were given by one delegation for that
paper, which is accused of being the organ of the
operators, bnt which, nevertheless, has for some
time past been endeavoring to beat some little sense
into the heads of the bewildered mining community.
At the meeting various speeches were made whicti
were calculated to greatly distort the already Imper
fect views now entertained by the miners. The
meeting was presided over by the Prei tdent of the
W. B. A., who appears to be directly the opposite of
a clear-headed person, and who opened the exer
cises with an address terribly denunciatory or the
whole Pennsylvania press for not supporting the
miners in their movement. To an outsider this ad
dress brings very forcibly to miud the simile of a
dog barking at the moon, by which action nobody
but the dog and those in his immediate vicinity are
disturbed. This presiding gentleman, who, by the
way, Is not even sure about his own name, lives
upon I2OC0 a year paid by the Worklnemcn's Associa
tion for his services. lie Is not a practical miner
himself, and, It is said, could not earu decent wages
at the business. lie Is an Irishman by birth, bat
came directly from England, which country he was
obliged to leave on account of his connection with
strikes there.
One or the addresses was made by a miner from
Tamaqua, who gave vent to terrible threats of war
and bloodshed In case the demands should not be
complied with. "We will have rair play or we will
to the battle ground, with rifle for rifle and horse for
horse," were his words; and every one who knows
anything about these misers knows that these
words would not be entirely bravado should the sup
posed necessity occur. The makers of "coffin no
tices" and other peculiar Institutions would be both
wllllsg and competent to rush to their own destruc
tion in this manner, Involving innocent ones in their
general overthrow should they become so blinded as
to consider It necessary. This blinding process is
now going bravely on under the tutorship of wilfully
blind leaders.
A report comes to us by telegraph that a deter
mined effort Is on foot among the leaders of the
strike to persuade the Lehigh and Wyoming men to
loin them, and thus cut off the entire supply. The
leaders are perfectly sensible of the fact that they
cannot succeed unless all the Important regions
supplying Philadelphia suspend, which fact has
been self-evident from the beginning. If this move
ment, If such a movement there Is, should succeed,
there Is certainly a slightly better chance for the
men, but if It should not, then certainly the leaders
will be wise enough to advise a resumption of work.
But the Lehigh and Wyoming men are at present
receiving fair wages, and in the main are satisfied
with them, so that It is very probable that they will
prefer to remain In their present condition rather
than to enjoy the pleasures of Idleness for a season,
as the Schuylkill men are now doing, knowing that
such pleasures are not altogether pleasurable in the
end. Their fellow-feeling will hardly stand such a
test.
The business of the week has been good. The
tonnsge for all the regions now In operation has
largely increased over that of last week. The
Reading Railroad, according to the report pnblished
yesterday, has an Increased tonnage of 8107 tons,
having bronght down or all kinds 41,344 tons during
the week. At Mauch Chunk there were transported
from the Lehigh region over tbe canal and railroads
(the Lehigh Valley and the Lehigh and Susque
hanna), 123,926 1 7 tons against 91,lft 11 tons the
week Ix'fore, an increase of 82,767 ( S tons.
The quotations for coal at Port Richmond are un.
changed, but are merely nominal, as the stocks are
very nearly exhausted. The Bupply is about equal
to the demand, as there appears to be no disposition
to accumulate stocks at present prices. The current
rates ef freights for the week ending May 6 are as
follows: Portsmouth, 12; Boston, S1B(32; Cam
bridge,; Fall River, ft-75: New Bedford, IMS;
Salem, $1-90; Providence, $1-75; Allen's Point and

Thh Mortality of the City. The number
of deaths in the city for the week endiug at
noon to-day was 832, boiuir an increase of 14
over those of last week, and an increase of 83
ver the corresponding period of last 3'ear.
Of these 170 were adults; 1C3 were minors; 230
were bora in the United States: 67 were foreign
ers: 29 were people of color; and 13 were from
the country. Of this number 44 died of con
snmption of the lungs; IS of convulsions; SS of
scarlet fever; 1C of inflammation of the luugs; 2i
of debility; 10 of disease of the heart; 13 of Id

Capture af One af the Assailants af the
Abont one week ago we chronicled the fact of an
outrageous assault having been committed en an
old couple named Ksaa residing in Mill street, Uer
mantown. The facts were these: A party of men
In marks entered the residence of the Eaaa family
during the night, beat, bound, and gagged the old
pair, and then robbed the place of some f 130. On
the Sunday followed the occurrence, about 10 o'clock
P. M., Mayor Fox, whilst proceeding along Hreen
street, near Reach, observed Officers Reeder and
Llpp, of the Fourteenth district, watching a certain
house. Inquiring of the officers their business,
they answered that they had cause to believe that
at least one of the burglars was concealed In the
house named. Hearing this, the Mayor proceeded at
once to his residence and Issued a warrant for the
arrest of all parties found In the house.
With this warrant the officer visited the Seventh
District Station-house, and procuring a posse or Ave
meu surrounded the suspicious dwelling, and ar
rested all tbe inmates, who were taken to the sta
tion and locked up for the night. Aixmt 10 o'clock
last Monday morning two of the number, one Adam
Miller, and the other a woman named Kck, were
brought to the Mayor's office and the Eaaa couple
sent for. Mr. Ksau and wife soon arrived, and the
former at once recognized Miller as one of the men
who had beaten his wife, and who had helped to tie
her. Another witness present testified to having
seen a "jimmy" in tne lianas of Miller on the day
previous to the robbery, and to seeing the woman
Eck making a muslin slip in wnich to hide it, that
he might tie It around his body. Still another wit
ness testified to hesri.ig Miller plan the robbery, he
saltig that the old couple had a large lot of money.
Another witness tettiaed to seeing an unknown
party making a "mask" on the same day. Alder
an Kerr gave Miller aud the woman Kck a private
hearing, and committed i'lller In dcranlt of $6000
and the woman Kck In default of f 2000 bail to an
swer. The villains who assisted Miller belong to a
gang that some twelve years ago committed a simi
lar assault upon the sexton of All Saints' Church,
Twenty-third ward, and for which deed several of
them served a sentence of ten years In the peniten
tiary. Thk Infected Districts. Already a radical
chHiige has been effected in the lnrected district
comprising Alaska street and Its tributaries. In the
shape of the numerous courts and alleys, situated
between Fifth and Eighth streets. A large force of
workmen have been engaged In that neighborhood
for several weeks, and to-day the Health Officer re-
fiorted to the Board of Health that Alaska street,
etween Sixth and Seventh streets, was clean in
every sense of the word, and the same with refe
rence to the street between Seventn and Eighth
ctrcets, except in a few cases of filthy cesspools.
The working gang are now employed between Fifth
and Sixth streets, which. In the course of a few nays,
will be In a cleanly condition. So far over two hun
dred nuisances have been removed. The Health
Officer has issued one thousand placards requiring
the owners of property In that neighborhood to clean
and disinfect their properties. These placards have
been posted np In every conspicuous place in the
locality.
In reply to "a denial"' of his Honor the Mayor
printed m your issue or yesterday s date, J. craw
ford Dawes desires to reassert most positively that
the morning after his arrest and lock-tip he called at
the office or nis Honor in company with W illiam 11
Snowdon, Ksq., the President of the road, about 12
o'clock ai., jnr. emowtion sending in tne joint card,
Answer came that his Honor would see us in a few
minutes, and we were ushered into the anteroom.
The committee to whom he was devoting his time
was Mr. Addicks. We waited in this room outside
about hair an hoar, when William B. Thomas, Esq
was announced, and the word came out from the
inner office, "General, walk In," and the General did
walk In past us, speaking to Mr. Suowdon as he did
so, and then we left the office. I am permitted to
say that Mr. Snowdon endorses every word of this
reply.
Insane About 7 o'clock last evening Officer
Carrigan found a man wandering around the neigh
borhood of Twenty-second and Market streets. He
was taken to the station house, when it was found
that his name was 1 yle, and that he has been miss
ing from his home since the 1st Inst. The wanderer
is insane. He was removed to his home, beven
tecRth and Chesnnt streets.

Attractions at Faikmouit Park. The public
will be glad to hear that arrangements have already
been completed by the Commissioners by which
music is again to be secured in the park. A compe
tent orchestra has been engaged, nnder the eillcieut
leadership of Dr. Cunnlngtou, who will give regular
concerts at Lemon Hill ou Wednesday and Saturdar
afternoons, beginning next Wednesday. It is hoped
also that within a short time, when the restaurant
and Judge Peters' mansion has been elegantly lilted
up, one concert every week will ulso be given there,
making three each week. It is understood that one
of the railways having termini at the park has
already contributed handsomely towards defraying
the expense or the music. This example should be
followed by the otner companies.
The playgrounds in the West Park, a short distance
above the bridge, will also be a beautiful feature this
summer. Flying horses, velocipedes, croquet,
swings, and other such additions will make it a
most enjoyable place for the young ones and for the
old ones. A neat little restaurant will be here, and,
just think or ltl the host is under an agreement in
black and white to nave always on hand a most
bountiful supply of pure, fresh country milk. While
the New Yorkers add artificial, showy Improvements
to their park, we are constantly procuring those that
are substantial and In every particular good.
II AOdERTY TDK Notokioi'8 The notorious Jimmy
Ilaggerty, who, it will be remembered, made Ills es
cape from the court officers at the door of the Court
House, alter DeiugnroUKiit in the prison van rrom
Moyamensing, is still at large lu New York, whi-re h
has figured in several tights and thereby Increased
the notoriety gained lrom Philadelphia cifcnses. In
quiries are continually being made as to what mea
sures have been taken fur tho rearrest of this
offender. The Chief of Police states that after the
escape of Hagperty, lie, by order of the Mayor,
otlered the assistance or the Police Dcpartmont to
the Judges or the ouarter Sessions for the rearrest
or the fugitive, which oiler was accepted. Having
received Information that Haggerty was In New
York, the Mayor procured from Governor Geary a
requisition on the Governor of New York, and ou
this requisition the name of one of the court oillcers
was placed as the person to whom Haggerty should
be delivered. The court officer was uotitie l of the
receipt or this document, and was told that, U desi
rable, the arret t should be made. The court officer
has taken no action In the matter, and the requisition
has not been called for. The Chief has done every
thing that he can do to assin the court in rearresting
the man, but beyond this he lias no power.

THE DAVIS REFRIGERATOR"
WILL FEEBZE WATER INTO SOLID ICE
In any one or all of its combined qualities, we
Challenge the Vorld to produce its Equal.
It differs from all others in construction, cir
culation of air, and manner of applying the ice.
The current of cold, dbt alb is maintained
without the introduction of external air.
It is ever puke, and therefore requires no ar
tificial appliances such as are used in Refrigera
tors devoid of the necessary cold atmosphere.
No one thing partakes of the odor of the other.
Its temperature can be regulated to either
above or below the freezing point.
Fbtjit, Poultry and Gams have been com
pletely preserved in it, without freezing, for sixty
days and vpwards.
With less ioe it is colder than all others.
Its temperature is colder by fifteen to twenty
degrees than any other (an enormous difference.).
The air is wholly dry the moisture being
frozen.
We guarantee them, and claim vast supe
riority over all other Kefrigerators.
It is in daily working order, and the public
are invited to see it do all that is promised for
it.
This season we are lining them with the NEW
PATENT HARD MEDALLION METAL, sur
passing in beauty and adaptability any material
we have heretofore used for that purpose. It is
void of all offensive smells; free from any lia
bility of rust; can be polished like Silver, and
always retains its bright and beautiful appear
ance. The cold, dry air maintained in "TILE DAVIS
REFIUGEilATOK, " with the astonishing small
quantity of ice used, STAMPS IT CHAMPION
OF THE WOULD.
The success of "TIIE DAVIS" REFRIGERA
TOR last season was UNPARALLELED !
For the year 1870, we have the finest article of
the kind ever off ered.
Our manufactory is the largest of the kind in
the city, being exclusively used for building our
Refrigerator.
THOUSANDS of "THE DAVIS" REFRIGE
RATORS have been sold throughout the United
States, giving . UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Hotel Keepers, Provision, Fruit, Fish Dealers
and others, who are interested in a business
that requires a LARGE REFRIGERATOR, are
particularly requested to examine the different
sizes and styles under the "Davis Patent," that
we are now making.
