The Mniifr In fUrh Members Rrtw Rich. - Tire following Jnterenttng letter has been for warded to Th Kvening Telegraph In conse quence or cerwin articles which have at various limes appraro 1 In Us columns, and It serves to show Wie manner Mil which the names of gentlemen are ttsed at UrrrlBburg, for the pecuniary benefit of member. In reply to Mr. Orcpory, Thb Tele XtRArn dWires to Inform him that hi name appeared u a corporator In the City Sewage Bill ami the Phi ladelphia, Telegraph Bill, and that the corporators In both or these Institutions, neither of which has as yet (tot into working order, liave organized and iilgneti oir the stock, lie must have been present at botvr these meetings, or his name forged to tie necessary documents. In the latter event, Mr. Oregory might do the city a great service, as It Is fair to Infer that a forgery In siich a case would ren der the charters null and void. rniLAnBi.rHiA, WepU 14, 1870. To the Editor of ttfiR Evening Tei.eoh AfH Dear Sir: In yonr Issue of May 6, 1810, you assert that my name has become very familiar as a corporator In the hundreds of bills passed during the last winter, and Inquiring whether 1 represented a city member of the Legis lature. In your Issue of Tuesday last appears an other article In relation to the Conveyancers' Associa tion, which (although my name does not appear therein) evidently refers to me as the brother-in-law of Samuel Josephs, and Imputes to my influence with him the defeat of the charter of said associa tion. Believing that It was not your desire to do me an intentional wrong in the publication of said articles, I therefore ask yon to give the following statement of facts the same publicity which you rave to tr;o foregoing articles: That I never, directly or indirectly,-requested any member of the Legislature, or any other person, to Insert my name as a corporator lu arty bill passed during the last winter, and that such use of my name was without my knowledge or consent, and raut have been nsed by such person for his individual benefit. That 1 was long prioi to the organization of the Conveyancers' Association favorable to the objects for which it was founded. -That 1 was some time since notified of my election as a member, and did not know that they had applied to the Legislature for a charter. lours truly, James P. Gregory. I50ARI) OF ALDERMEN. Th"rtober Election Appointment of .Indict nnd Inspeclom. The Board of Aldermen met in Common Council Chamber this morning for the purpose of appointing lodges and Inspectors to conduct the October elec tion. There was a full attendance of members. Al derman David Bottler presided. Alderman MciUullin inquired If a motion would be in order to reconsider the action of the Board at the last meeting in reference to the appointment of elec tion officers. Alderman Beltler said he did not think such a mo tion was in order. Alderman McMullln then suggested and moved that the appointments be mate ward by ward, no ward to be commenced until the preceding one is finished. Alderman Dougherty called for a division of the question, and Alderman McMul In requested thst tellers be appointed. The motion was lost yeas 29, nays 32; - " Alderman Samuel Jones ottered a resolution naming the election officers for every division lu the city. The list of names was then read by the clerk. Alderman Kerr moved to amend by striking out the name of Edward Lynch in the Sixth Division of the Eleventh ward, and Inserting William Oolcher. lie gave as a reason for his amendment that Lyric fi voted the whole Republican ticket at uhe last elec tion, and he should not De fastened on the minority as a Democrat. The motion to amend was lost. Alderman McMullln moved to amend the resolu tion by striking out the names of all persons named by the majority as Democratic officers and insert a long list of names selected by the minority. This list the Alderman read, and took his lime to it. Alderman McMullln's motion was lost yeas, 23 ; nays, 29. Alderman McMullln said that the majority were acting in a manner which would require the mino rity to appoint watchers, and thus saddle the city with an expense of thousands of dollars. The original resolution, naming the election offi cers for all of the divisions of the city, was adopted yeas, 42 ; nays, 24. Alderman Kerr moved that the Clerk of the Board be directed to furnish the original list of election officers to the reporters of the afternoon papers. To this Alderman Jones, Alderman Johnson, and Alderman Sutphin objeeted. Alderman Jones moved an amendment to the effect that the Clerk be instructed to make a copy for the reporters, and furnish the same at his earli est convenience. "Alderman Kerr Arc you afraid to trust the re porters ? Is it your Intention to retain possession of the list and alter It to suit your own party ends ? Alderman Jones You would like it to go into the reporters' possession. I think that is your object. Alderman McMullln They are all or your way of thinking. Alderman Korr moved a substitute for Alderman Jones' motion that the Clerk be instructed to in ike forthwith a copy for the newspapers. This motion was carried. After the transaction of some unimportant busi ness the meeting was declared adjourned. KOW AMONG DEMOCRATIC ALDERMEN. As members were leaving the Chamber a disturb ance occurred near the door between several of the Democratic Aldermen. It first originated in the Chamber between Alderman Kiddle of the Sixteenth ward and Alderman McMullln of the Fourth ward. When the vote was taken on the motion to racon Bider the action of the board In reference to the ap pointment of election officers, Alderman Kiddle was found to be absent. This excited the ire of the Democrats present, and when he appeared harsh words were said concerning his disappearance. Just previous to the adjournment Alderman Mc Mullln remarked that the voters in the Sixteenth ward wnuld look after their faithful representative :n the board, whereupon Alderman Kiddle re - eponded In rather a sarcastic way. At the door of the chamber a fight was com menced, but between whom it was Impossible to ascertain at the time. Soon after order was restored, Alderman Riddle put in an appearance in the Chamber with his face and clothing covered with blood. He represented that he had been attacked by his Democratic brethren in the entry way. He was struck several times and knocked down. Alderman Jones and other Republican members Interfered and put a stop to the disgraceful proceedings. Important to Manufacturers op Tobacco. From James 8.

The Master Mechanic' Association renpsembled this morning at 9 o'clock In the Assembly Buildings, the President, Mr. H. M. Brltton, In the chair. The President gave notice that members could ob tain tickets for the banquet this evening by applying at Parlor C, Continental Hotel. Several letters were read from various railway men and manufacturers of the city, containing invi tations for various purposes. A communication was read from the Philadelphia, Oermantown and Norristown Kailroad Company, Inviting the members to pass over the road In order to visit the Butcher Steel Works at Nleetown. , The Committee on Finance presented a report. The report recommended an assessment of five dol lars on each member, to meet the current expenses of t he current year. The report was received. Mr. Hays moved to amend and make theassess ment ten dollarji In place of Ave. Agreed to. The report was then adopted as amended. Mr. Setchell, of the Little Miami Kailroad, moved that the topics of discussion for the coming year be referred to the Committee on Correspondence. Agreed to. The President made a recommendation that the next yearly meeting begin on Tuesday, in place of Wednesday. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbltt, of the Ken tucky Central, to alter the constitution and make the article on that subject read Tuesday !n piacc of Wednesday, Agreed to. The Committee on a Uniform standard of Nats presented a retort. It recommended the adoption of the United States standard. The report was re ceived and the committee discharged. The Committee on Material for flues presented a report. The report recommend steel flues for coal burntng engines. Next to steel, Iron will give the best results, but Is more difficult to adjust and keep in order. Though a majority of companies report in favor of brass or copper for wood-b'irn'.ng en gines, the committee were of the opinion that the increased erst is not compensated for by the greater wear as compared with iron. The report was received and the committee dis charged. The report of the Committee on Dead-weight and Rolling-stock was presented and read. Received and the committee discharged. A communication was received from W. W. Evans, of New York, on the same subjsjt, and bear ing on the Falrlie engine, was read by the Secretary. This communication refers to a trial of the work ing of the Fairlle engines on a railroad in Pera. The working was said to be far Inferior to that of the American engines, the Kogera and r.aldwln, on the same road.

Garrett, Pennsylvania Central Kailroad. Mr. w. W. Jackson, of the li. W. and O. R. R., re marking on the report on dead weight in rolling stock, gave a description of an improved method of coupling in use on his road, by which great safety and evenness are obtained, but which make the train as one car. This, however, requires a heavier strain on the locomotive, as all the cars have to be started together. Larger locomotives have to be used. The subject of cold-rolled Iron, referred to the Committee on Lateral Motion of Track, was reported by that committee. The report was read by the Secretary. It referred particularly to the use of the matcr.al in shafting. The report was received and the subject continued for another year In the bauds of the same committee. Mr. Meyer, recalling the subject of the commanl cation from Mr. Kvuns. asked if the papers were not too personal to be allowed, on the miuutes n' the association. He did not wish to reject the com munication but only prevent it from being published. It is a personal attack on Mr. Falrlie, and If that Is published we must publish also whatever Mr. Fairlie might see lit to send at another time. On motion the vote of the convention accepting the communication was reconsidered. It was moved that the communication be rccetvod but not placed on the minutes, and that the tabular statement accompanying it be published. This was afterwards amended to receive both com munication and tabular statistics, and to lay both npon the table. This last was agreed to. A motion was made that a formal vote of thanks to Mr. Evans be returned for the valuable papers, though it did not conform with the objects of ttio association to place them on the m. nates.

With the report were presented several printed blanks to be used as models of form by the dlirerent roads In gettiug np these reports, so that all would give the same fa:ta. The report was received and the committee con tinned. A discussion took place on the report, which was taken part In by Mr. H. S. Hayes, of the Illinois Cen tral, and Mr. W. W. Jackson, of the K. W. and O. K. H. The report noticed particularly the number of miles per hour allowed by different roads to engines on switching service. This varied from four to ten miles for dure rent companies. The subject was postponed without recommending any uniform rate. On motion of Mr. Kenuie, a committee was up- fiolnted to retire and nominate oillcers for the ousti ng year. The President appointed Messrs. Smith, Little, and Sellers on the eommittee. The subject of soft rivets on boiler plates, referreJ yesterday to the Committee on Construction of Boilers, was galled for, but the committee was not ready to report.

The Committee on Correspondence reported and recommended the following, which was adopted: "That the request of the editor of the 'I'ravelUrx' Official Baihcay Guide to publish the names and resi dences of the members of this assicla'ion be granted, and that the Secretary furnish him witn the list" The same committee also reported the following: "The committee to whom was referred the correspond ence addreeeed to tht body by Mr. Charles Wilson, li.

The lire apparatus of the establishment was put to work, and the few workmen who had gathered together were seconded by the firemen of the borough, but the contents of the structure were entirely consumed before the flames could be sub dued. The building destroyed was one story In height, and was in the shape ot the letter L, the main stem running along the river bunk, being 120 feet long, and the shaft, running iroin the jivcrtoMain street, being 78 feet in length. Between the dyeing building, which composed the main stem on Main street, was the mill of the firm. This was stories In height, andj although the heat from the burning mass on its west and southern sides, its contents were but slightly da maged. The window frames, however, were cam pletelj ruined. Attached to the northern end of the dye house, was a frame structure, used as a stock house, which, with the material in It, was also con sumed. The loss of Heft & Ogie will reach. $10,000, on which there is an insurance of but $15,000, divided among the Imperial and Queen of London, New York, New England, and other companies.They also have an additional insurance of $45,000, none of which, however, will apply to the buildings de stroyed.

FROM EUROPE. Attnrklnc the Prustdnn Advance. Paris, Sept. 16. (Special to the New York Ti U gram.) This morning a corps of the army of occupation left this city for the purpose of attacking the advance guard of the Prussian army, who are known to be in the immediate suburbs of the city. This movement was made in consequence of positive information having been obtained by General Trochu, by means of the subterraneous communication with the suburbs of Paris, that the outposts of the Prus siah army were located on the northeast and EOUthcast of the capital. The Terrible I'hlans la Paris. Several Uhlans were arrested this morning in Paris disguised as citizens, and were immedi ately taken to the oOlce of the Minister of the Interior.

The Prussian army still continues its work of devastation and destruction. To-day they took possession of the railroad station at Chantilly, where they captured a train, detained the pas sengers, and confiscated their baggage. An other train, which was In motion as the Prus sian advance entered the station, was fired upon by the troops, but succeeded in escaping from the enemy. The Boy Stood en the Burning Deck. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants of Paris and their determination to defend the city may be realized somewhat by the fact that one of the Rothschilds, a young member of that emi nent banking firm, has shouldered a chassepot and Is daily doing duty on tne ramparts ot the city side by side with mere laborers. The Gnrde Mobile are constantly arriving in large numbers to swell the army of defense. Hcarclty of Prlatlna; Paper.
