- 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.

men and manufacturers of the city, containing invi
tations for various purposes.

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.

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

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

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.

munication and tabular statistics, and to lay both
npon the table. This last was agreed to.

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.
Agreed to.
The Committee on the Application of Brakes pre
sented a report, which was read. It noticed several
methods which had been invented for applying the
brake to the rail In place of the wheel. All such the

received and the committee discharged.

Gauges asked lor further time, which was granted.

subject. The report was received and the committee
continued.

several roads, which subject was referred to the

were presented several printed blanks to be used as

FIRE IN MANAIU-XK.
Leas, g 10.000.
At a few minutes after 12 o'clock this morning,
re was discovered issuing from the southwestern
corner of the drying and dyeing room attached to
the extensive cotton and woollen mill of Heft Jc
Ogle, situated on Main street, below Cedar, Mana
yunk. 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. The fire Is attributed to spontaneous combustion.
At 1 o'clock this morning the confectionery store
of Charles liouhe, No. 1321 Ridge avenue, was
damaged to the extent of $100. It originated from
the oven.
Thb Fruit and Flowbr Show at Horticultural
Hall will close this evening. Tbe matinee this after
noon offers ladies and children a good opportunity
to attend the beautiful exhibition. Hassler's New
Military Band will perform choice selections, both
afternoon and evening. At the matinee, in addition
to brilliant, fashionable, and military music, some
good old psalm tunes, such as "Greenland's Icy
Mountains" ami "Old Hundred," will be given, and
in the evening a grand German chorus and quartette
club will assist the orchestra. The attraction for
the last day of the exhibition is great, and will
worthily conclude the most successful show of the
kind ever given in Philadelphia.
Seriously Bbatkk. At an early hour yesterday
morning George Bohen, residing at No. 215 N.
Twelfth street, while intoxicated, went into Bald
win's locomotive works, and there engaged in a
quarrel with a man named Biakeley. Tney scuffled
and Bohen was thrown to the ground. The injured
man was taken to his home, and his wounds, which
were pronounced trifling, dressed. Subsequently
Bohen showed signs of exhaustion, and a physician
being sent for, pronounced him In an exceedingly
dangerous condition. Biakeley, who resides on ox
ford street, between Twenty-second and Twenty
third streets, has disappeared. At least all efforts
to discover his whereabouts have thus far failed.
Larceny of pension Money. Mrs. Be'.lan, an
elderly lady residing on Alaska street, a few days
ago drew her pension money, amounting to $49. On
going home she deposited It In, as she thought, a
see u re place. Yesterday she discovered that It was
missing and also two women that had been hanging
around her apartment. A warrant has been issued
for their arrest.

dummy engine on the Frankford Railway, died last
evening at the Episcopal Hospital.
Wife-Beater. Patrick Decan, residing at No.
1010 Somerset street, has enrolled himself on the
list of a-He-beat ers; as his better half has preferred
that charge against him before Alderman Heins,
who held him for trial.

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. It is expected they will meet the same
fate tV t ' -s been awarded to all other epies
captured ia the city.
The Work of nrvastntlen.
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.
In consequence of the scarcity of paper all
the newspapers printed in the city appear this
morning curtailed to half their usual size.

and we give it In full :
And as to the trust fund of 175,000 to be set apart
and Invested by said United states Trust Company
FOR MY SON WASHINGTON,

until lie Bball marry as hereinafter mentioned, or at
tain the ape of twenty-five years, whichever event
shall first happen. Ana on or at any time after his

provided that In the happening of eit her such events

absolute and uncontrollable discretion, but to my
said Bons a discretion subject to tbe review and con
trol of any court of equity in t he State of New York),
shall by writing signed by her if living, or if not by
my said two nous, or either of thein, and duly ac
knowledged by a notary public or commissioner of
deeds, certify and declare to the said United States
Trust Company, that In her, or their, or his opinion
it would be sale, proper, and advisable to pay over

Washington; and unless and nutil such certificate
and declaration shall be made aa aforesaid, ami de
livered to said company, it shall continue to hold the
principal of such trust funds in trust as aforesaid,
and the Income and profits thereof to receive and
apply after deducting expenses, charges, and
commissions, as aforesaid, to the use of my said son
Washington during his natural life ; and I do hereby
solemnly enjoin it upon my said sons Harmon and
Frederick that they shall not unreasonably or uncon
scionably refuse to make, sign, and deliver such cer

BE LIVINS A LIFE OF REGULARITY AND SOBRIETY.
1 charge my said sons to deal with him In deter
mining whether they will sign and deliver the cer
tificate and declaration only in tbe same spirit which
they know would govern
MY CONDUCT TOWARD HIM AS A LOVED CHILD
if I were then living and determining what were best
for his interests ; that consideration, viz., bis best
interests, being tbe sole motive which has induced
me to make a provision for him different from what
I have done for my ether sons.
And I further declare it to be my will and intent,
and in case said principal of said trust fund of f 73,000
shall not have been paid over to my said son Wash

the death of my said son Washington without navtng
received said principal and having no such lawful
issue of his body born unto him, as aforesaid, him
surviving, it Is my will, and I direct that said prin
cipal of said trust fund, with any unapplied Income
thereof, shall go and be paid to my executrix, and
form part of my residuary estate hereinafter men
tioned. But If my wife shall not then be living, then
I give and bequeath the same to and among my de
scendants, according to the law of the State of New
York, now in force, regulating the distribution of
personal property in case of Id testacy.
And I further declare it to be my Intent and mean
ing and such is to be tbe effect of my will, anything
hereinbefore contained to the contrary thereof not
withstanding, that if any or either of the children
provided for in this article of my will shall at the
time of my death be indebted to me, and such In
debtedness shall be charged on my books against
him or her. the amount of such indebtedness shall
be deducted from bis or her amount of $75,000 herein
provided for such child, and the remainder only
shall be paid over to said Trust Company, and to
be held in trust for and on behalf of such child, and
h's or her Issue, in like manner as u that sum only
bad been originally expressed as tbe principal of the
trust for such child.
