BiURhiim; second g "oii, LieuieuaLt-Coiuiiel George

Seventh, with two members oi the leceptlon com
mittee.
Iueacli succeedlinr file of four there we -e two
officers of the regiment, tla. ked right and lt.'t by a
member of the corimittee. A fter tesd had parsed
into the ball-room thre followed Geuaral (Jearue G.
Meade, Daniel M. Fox (Mayor of Philadelphia),
Major J. F. Tobias, and then the officers of fie com
mittee. Messrs. Geoge A. Bernard, William II.
C handler, and otlurs.
Follow in thtso were the incited guests in pla
toons of four, then tbe flo tr i. uiagdi's, au t tc.ea
the New York Uh Keiuieat.
The ball-room was tlie icumense dining-roon
of the house, and t'uis was coinplfitely tilled with
the large crowd in attendance. Besides llio
partlcliant8, a great number of guests on the
island were drawn to the scene from curiosity,
and witnessed tLe display from the porca
windows on either side of the house.
A list of the notabilities present would be suf
ficiently long to fill all the avillable space in
these columns. It is luillcient, howc. jr, t" my
that about every other man upen tue floor was a
notable of some sort. Philadelphia's Lworiie,
General Meade, was present In full un'forin, aad
did the agreeable to the ladle. genci'aUy. Colo
nel James Fisk, a notable of another et'ipe, but
not so much of a faTorite, was undoubtedly the
lion of the evening. He boro himself becom
ingly In a well-padd 2d uniform, and conducted
himself with the utmost propriety from behind
a huge diamond pin whch eurmoucted Lis
bosom, the stone of which was about the lzo of
a regulation army coat luttoa. Tuo mcubera
of the New York Old Guard sbove 1 man'.flcut
uniforms of white and gold, in imitation of the
Austrian Major-General's imifo.m. The lid'-js
were present In large numbers, many from Phi
ladelphia, and several fiom Nev 7ork. lo the
company of Major TouIas, IVie prime m'ver of
the whole concern we noticed Mrs. Knicker
bocker and Mrs. Catnblos, two New ork ladies,
remarkable for their beauty and for their becom
ing dress.
The decorations of the ball were gotten up in
fine style. Red, white, and blue bunting wa9
draped around tho room, and between cac
window the coat-of-orms of tho various States
were placed.. These were also grouped over
Ibe outside of the entrance door, which was also
otherwise ornameted. The shield directly over
the doorway, under which every married and
unmarried person present bad to pass, bore the
coat-of-arms of the State f Utah, which singu
lar arrangement produced some startling
thoughts to the ladies and gedtlemcn who
viewed it. .
There were numerous fine dresses In attend
ance.. The ladies wearing them are nameless,
for Tarious reasons, as are also the different
btyles of costume, from inability to furnish them
with a name. There was ouo costume which
consisted mostly of au almighty train tapering
beautifully down to a Cno poiut at a reuioto dis
tance from tho wwirer, and cut a la peacock
generally. Rullics, flounces, and furbelows
formed tho body an l substance of the dress,
which was constructed of some light material,
and of a feather s weight.
Another costame included a scarlet silken
train as heavy in substauce as the other was
light. The effect of its bright coloring was
something startling, and its length was inex-prct-siblo.
The distance in lineal measurement
covered by this arrangement at any one given
time was stopped off and found to be in the
neighborhood of thirty feet, as near as it could
be estimated. This costume was noticed going
around tho room in eccentric circles at various
times, jro- duciug a paculiar phenomenon.
various ctner trams ot great iengtu excur
sion trains they may be called were noticed,
but tbeir beauties were not displayed to the
public eye in such profusion. When dancing
they were generally draped in graceful folds
over the arm of the partner, and when standing
or bitting were deposited in heaps on one side of
t!ic wearer, so as to give the unwary wayfarer a
charce to pass in eatety. Like a certain orna
mental fowl bef jre mentioned, the ornamental
portion was only displayed when the wearer
had i ome special reason for so doing.
But the majority of the dresses were remark
able only for their propriety aud unostentatious
elegance. The ladies certainly disulaycd the
greatest of tnst.e, and the gcutleinen certainly
thanked them for it, in look if not m word.
uurin; ine cver iug conquerable trouble was
experienced with the gaslight, which grew
dimmer aud uiramer as tho evening wore on.
l be gas oi tuis iiMiei is iurnisuej, not lrom a
private apparatus, but from tho town works,
which arc not in a nourishing condition, and
whi;b sometimes run short at very inopportuue
moments, "to help remedy tho defect in the
ball-room, the residents of the Island aud the
proprietors of the various hotels turned oil their
own gas jets, except where they were absolutely
necessary, in order that there might bo enough
to make a f.ir show where it was most needed.
Put the precautious were all ot no avail. At about
hull-past eleven o clock, after several death
llickers, tbc light went entirely out, and but for
a few caunlcs which were on the music plat
form the room would have been In total dark
ness. As It was, the effect was to Bend many of
the guests home. In a few minutes, various
individuals facetiously called tho light brigade
made their appearance with lighted candles in
each band, and thus the room was made inhabit
able until a sufficient, quantity of gas had col
lected in the reservoirs to allow the jets to be
relighted. A goodly number of participants
remained to enjoy the festivities until tbeir con
clusion.
At fveive o clock tho banquet was served,
which was a flue affair and gave great satisfac
tion. 1 he dancing was continued until nearly
four o clock, up to wnicu time various parties
of the 7th and others were heard, by those
who desired to tlcep peacefully after tho fatigues
of tiie day, proceeding noisily to their homes,
making the early morning hideous with their
superabundant good humor, which every one,
howover, was ready to pardon.
The regiment leave the island this morning
for New York at nlno o'clock, taking with them
the best feelings for all who have taken part in
the reception, ami the best wishes and congra
tulations of their friends.

The attention of the Board of Health was
called a few dayi ago to a case In which Wil
liam McCay, the Superintendent of the Franklin
Cemetery) was charged with violating the health
laws, in disinterring bodies without a permit,
ond.eecond. In placing bodies only 7, 8, 12, and
18 Inches Dcneatn ine surface. .The matter
was referred to the Committee on Burial
Grounds and Registration tor investigation. Tho
committee visited the cemetery, which is located
between frank lord road and the tittu ana
Sixth Street Passenger Railway, and below Alle
gheny avenue, and found that the neighbors
were complaining oi tne peculiar emuvia wmcn
bad pervaded the surrounding atmosphere for a
longtime, i ney men proceeded to an inspec
tion of the grounds, and the result of
that will be found in the annexed report
which was accepted by the Board of
Health at its meeting this afternoon.

ent of thn Fraaklin Cemetery with aundrr violation of
the bealtb laws, tepoctf ally report that they have visited
the crmetorj and tind the charges fully sustained.
Ihe committee timl that disinterments 10 these grounds
are of freuuent occurrence and in larce numbera. without
notice to or permits from the Board of Health 1 the bodies
tuns removed, on some occasions, tminn in such a condi
tion aa to cauae the etlluvium tuorefrcm to pervade the
m'lcnoornnoa.
The committee also examined a number of newly made
graves, and found mat tne cothna in some instances are
deposited at a distance of not more than twelve to eigh
teen inches below the surface of the ground, and in
others not more than from seven to eiiiht inches.
1 he cnnimitte are of the opinion that these violations
of the Health laws are of so serious a character and ro
violative of every decent regard of the feelings of survi
vors as to demand that the Superintendent of the Ceme-
lery rhould be made to feel the weight of the law, which
o has to grossly and knowingly outraged. Therefore,
htrohxl. That the HealtbO nicer be directed to cause a
prosecution ut law to be at once instituted against William
Alol'ay, hucerintendent of Franklin Cemetery, for viola
tion ot sections 4 and 6 of the regulations of the Hoard of
Health, and that he report bis action to this board.
Health Officer John E. Addicks intends taking
immediate steps towards the punishment of Mr.
McCoy.
Section 4 or tne lieguiations provides that no
disinterment; or removal of a body from one
grave or vault to another, in the same cemetery
or burial grounds, or from one cemetery or bu
rial ground to another, shall be allowed without
a permit trom tne Health utlicer.
section b provides mat no body snail be in

The 15th of July, tho day appointed for the
general strike on the nomintl ground of the
eiht-hour regulation, has passed and no general
strike has occurred. Nor i3 it likely that any
will occur. The pretext is not so popular as to
lead the men ta further their Schuylkill breth
ren's wishes to so great a degree, to their own
discomfort. The following is the vote of tbe
delegates to the Grand Council on the resolution
making eight hours a lull day's work:

The nif n of Luzerne and Carbon counties are
strongly opposed to the movement.
This same resolution, somewhat varied, has since
been sent to the different sections for approval, but
it .is believed mat it win nave no effect in the work

however, whether the er.tteeoe of a state of war
nob a we may look for in the immediate futnre will con
tinue to advance tbe premium on gold. The fact has been
already riiroonnted in Wall street, for the carrying rate
to day shows thM the speculators who have bought in an
ticipation of war comprise almost all the dealers in tbe
precious metals. Tbe Hold Room is new composed of a
harmonious community of 'bulls,' who are no longer
desirous of buying but of selling. File danger of
holding gold in snoh a situation is only
too evident. Tbe ostensible re -son tor tbe advance is
that our national securities abroad may be sent home.
The G vernment market here has declined not throng n
any depreciation of the intrinaio value of our bonds, but
brcanre tbe market price is foroed down by the sadden
effort to renli.e upon them. Instead of onr bonds having
depreciated, they are really more valuable new that
rrench rentes ana frusstan funds are depressed by the
war. j De rt action at no aistant ay is inevitable.

The Miners' Etgbubonr Strike.
Special l)epateh to The Kvmitvj T'-'ajrapK
I?ch anton, Pa., July 10. It is now probable
that the operators will unanimously accept the
eight hour demand of the miners. Tbe ope
rators will not loe anything, whi'.j the men will
be much benefited. The consumer wii; be the
sufferer. Nearly all the eoilieries in the Wilkes
barrc region have commenced working undjr
tbe new arrangement. Iu this region, us far as
heard from, the men are all working on tha old
plan, nor have they asked for the eight hour
tyUfcin. A few collieries at Plymouth are out,
but will probably commence again in a day or
two. Speculators pretcad o fear a general strike
of three or four weeks, but thla U improbable.
Tbe news of resumption "f the Philadelphia
Coal Company lu the Sebujlklil region crea'ot
great ustouUbment Lere. It appears that tho
company not only acceded to the old basis,
which caused the present protracted strike, bat
also agreed to the eight-r-oui t'emandof the men.
The other operators in that region are much ln
ctmed, and fe-r that this m-iv te f h means of
prolonging the strike lor au inUeliuite period.
