Steveuson, of this ctty, -mil otlictato. . .
The exterior of the church has been painted In
Imitation of Plctou r,tonei M the eaves and caps of
the pillars are dar brown, aiTordlng a pleasant re
lief. The doors are painted black walnut and the
railings Jet biack, and the entire edtilce la put In
complete Older.
The general appearance of the Interior or church
proper Is at once bright, beautiful, and commodious.
The first thing that strikes the eye Is the profusion
of stained glass of variegated colors. The windows
on either side of the chancel, six feet by four In
size, are marvels of artistic skill. In either window
are 865 pieces of stained glass of different colors. A
centre medallion in each consists of sixty three
pieces In a space of sixteen Inches in diameter. One
of these medallions represents a descending dove
surrounded with a gloria, and the other Agnus Del,
or the Lamb of God, both emblems being beautifully
wrought. '
The groundwork of these windows Is composed
of diamonds with ruby-colored centres, fringed with
rich blue. The glass composing these diamonds la
corrugated, which gives a pecullarly-jewellert eirect
to them, and around them, or surrounding the edge
of each window, Is a rich green border representing
a vine. The general effect of these wind th is re
markably brilliant, and through them '.. s a soft,
subdued light, in admirable keeping .yita the sacred
character of the building.
The other windows In the lower part of the church
afe cornoosgd. also of stained glass, with medallions
of flowers In the upper and lower sections, sur.
rounded by rich variegated glass of alternate colors,
ruby, green, purple, etc. These windows are divided
Into two sections, one-half of the lower section
swinging npon ventilating pivots, which avoids the
necessity for weights, and produces aa excellent
effect. The windows in the galleries are of the
same general character, but have but one section
each. M .
. The chancel has been newly frescoed and ex
tended, and is covered with a bright Vermillion
Brussels carpet of handsome design. Five beautl-tifully-made
oiled walnut chairs, covered with vel
vet plush of a rich dark color, are placed in tiie
pulpit and chancel. The pulpit is of most beautiful
and irracef ul design, and painted white, tipped with
iroid : it is ornamented with Corinthian scroii-work.
and contains a desk so arranged thai gas Jets shed
light on books or manuscript plaoed on it, whlla the
Jets are hidden from the view of the congregation.
In front of the pulpit in the centre of the chancel
is placed a handsome table, painted white, picked
with gold, and covered with a slab of white Italian
marb'e. The gas-fixtures throughout the building
are entirely new, those In the body of the church
being triplet style of burners and containing ground
glass Bharlea. The organ has been completely re
paired, repainted, and ornamented. The walls of
the entire interior of the church are painted a dove
colored tint relieved with white. Altogether, the
audience-chamber of this church is scarcely ex
celled for beauty and comfort by any other In this
city.
Such are the general features of the improve
ments to this place of worship, which has occupied
a most conspicuous position In the Methodist Epis
copal denomination in this city, being tho first Me
thodiBt pew church established south of New Eng
land and which was founded by the venerated Dr.
John Kennaday, and which had among its first pas
tors such distinguished lights of Methodism as Dr.
John P. Durbin, Dr. llaganay, Dr. Crooks, Dr. Moore,
Dr. Nadal, and others.
For many years Trinity Church has been a prin
cipal place of worship of the most re II nod and cul
tured members of the Methodist denomination in
the city, and the effort is now being made, under the
new pastor, the Kev. H. A. Cleveland, to maintain
the high reputation for usefulness this church has
ever maintained in tho city, and to provide for the
steady spread of Methodism in this community,

The Trade nnd It Proapects The Hltuatton In
Schuylkill Quotations, Etc.
The trade at this port Is reported In a slightly bet
ter condition, but with no change in prices as yet,
The fall demand has now commenced, and a some
what better business is looked forward to for the
rest of the month. The fear of a possible partial
strike next month has the eirect of adding some
what to the dprnand.
In the Lehigh region the trade is said to be in
about the same condition as it was during last week.
The business done was not extraordinarily large
considering what is generally expected, but last
week there were 2000 more tons shipped from Le
high than from Schuylkill. This Is largely owing to
the advanced rates of toll on the Reading road.
This advance has not been very favorably received
In any quarter. The market at the present time can
Hi afford it. Beside the talk or the stoppage by the
men on account of a too low rate, there are also ru
mors of a stoppage by the operators, so that the
prices may be run up sufficiently to cover the ad
vance. Very many concede that Scnuylklll cannot
long keep up at present rates, and a better market
Is much longed for.
There is still some sign of trouble among the
Schuylkill men, though the more sensible ol them
are advising that no stoppage be made on the part
of the men even If the September rates are much
1 . . .... t . ii i t i li i n t AnmiDl It. haa haan oall nn.l
possibly truly, that the men have had enough striking
for the present, and will continue work. Time will
show what the issue will be. They certainly would
snow common sense uy bo uuiiig.
JlThe men, however, generally regard the late
agreement in the light of a big mistake, and so
express themselves. Seme few advise one another
very sensibly that If this one mistake has been
made, it Is bo rason that they should rush bliadly
into another by striking again. This Is as good
aavice as nas come irom mat source ior a long time.
The drought has seriously Interfered with the
operation of some of the Schuylkill collieries. Some
have not sufficient water to supply their boilers by
reaaou ui tue uuuuiisuiug auu urymg up or tne
mountain streams.
The transportation at Mauch Chunk during the
week, over both railroads and canal, amounted to
122,2S7'17 tons, against 180,059-19 tons the previous
week, a decrease of 7,s02-oa tonB. In Hie corres
ponding week or lMi'J, tne amount was 75,827-11 tens,
an increase for 1870 of 46,4i(0'0o.

Termination of an Important Suit. Tho Court
of Common Plieas, on Friday, confirmed the audi

document, allowing a claim of about 1 13,000, but re

an elaborate argument followed. Yesterday the

tended over a period ef ten years, hag been closed.
Demise op a Well-known Cricketer. The
death of William Hammond, the well-known pro
fessional cricketer, la announced. Previous to the
breaking out of the war Mr. Hammond was profes
sionally engaged with the old Germantown C. C,
and many of our nioBt skilful cricketers, now to
manhood grown, will remember that In their boy
hood days he was looked upon as one of the most
formidable exponents of the noble game. He was
at one time professional bowier of the New York
Club, and a few years since was attached to the
Boston Club. At the time of his death he was Man.
alter of the Union Base-Ball Club. His death was
occasioned by congestion of the lungs and typhoid
fever. Mr. Hammond was esteemed by all who
knew him.

of a coke wagon. Yesterday he presented to a man
doing business on South street an order for f 5, pur

discovered to be a forgery. John was arrested and
admitted the fact. Alderman Boua&ll sent him

Ocean cmiit,'N, j.
The Klevf.Vn ward was the scene of another homi
cide last night, the victim being a respectable clti
kmiM Manchester, Ocean county, N. J., named
Charles Carrlgan, aged about so years, He was era
ployed as fireman on a freight train on the New
Jersey Southern Railroad, and Is represented to
have been an industrious and hard-working man.
The facts of the sad affair, as far as ascertained, are
these: Mr, Carrlgan reached this city about ten
o'clock last evening, in the company of Wm. Layton,
a fellow workman on the New Jersey Southern Rail
road. They landed at Market street wharf. Pass
ing np Water street, ttoey were attracted by tho
music of a fiddle to the dance house of Daniel
McCarty, Just above Callowhlll street, into which
place they entered, never dreaming for a moment of
the character of the shebang.
A dance was in progress at the time, and Carrl
gan joined in the festivities. Of the noted charac
ters present there were two 'longshoremen named
Reddy Mullin and Pat Callahan. With Mullin Car
rlgan had some words, and the latter made a pass
at the former, hut did not strike him. Mullin struck
back, whereupon Callahan Interfered. The latter
pulled Mullin away and dealt Carrlgan a heavy blow
on the side of the face, felling him to the floor. Mr.
Carrigan was a heavily built man and nearly sfx Teet
high. In the fall his head came in contact with the
floor, and he died in a few moments after. Mullin
and Callahan soon after the occurrence fled and
have not yet been arrested.
Lieutenant Brnreln, when notified of the affair,
ordered the arrest of the proprietor of tho place
and William Layton, the friend of deceased, and
retained them as witnesses before the Coroner s
Jury. Deceased was married only a month ago. He
was a firemen on the Delaware and Rarltan Rail
road for three years previous to the sale of that
road to the Hew Jersey Southern Railroad Com

tion of the body ; I found a bruise in front of the left ear
and slight abrasion over tbe right cheek bone; there was
a slight abrasion on left wrist and a braise upon tbe back
of the head ; this latter bruise was about one inch in
diameter; the external bruises were slight; I found a
great congestion of the brain and a large amount of
effused blood above the base of tbe brain ; deceased oame
to his death from compression and congestion of the
brain caused bv violence either 'roin blows or a fall.
The Coroner's jury rendered the following ver
dict: That the deceased came to his death from vio
lent blows on tho head received at the hands of
Patrick Callahan and Reddy Mullin, at No. 402
North Water street, on the night of Sept. 18, 1870,
Weetino op Republican Conferees. At noon
to-day a meeting was held at the Bingham House,
Eleventh and Market streets, of the Congressional
Kepubllcnn Nominating Conferees of Montgomery
and Lehigh counties, ;Mr. Oeorge W. Corson in the
chair. These counties constitute the Sixth Congres
sional district. Mr. John H Oliver, of Lehigh, was
nominated for Congress by a unanimous vote.
Mr. Oliver being informed of the result was
brought before the conferees, and thanked them In
a short speech.
He mentioned the relations of himself and party In
the district. He thought that a systematic effort,
and particularly the keeping of the tariff question
before the constituents, would do much in carrying
the district, and especially Montgomery county. The
county should be as one in favor of the tariir.
Mr. Oliver was replied to by several members of
the conference, who thought that the prospects were
very lavorable. The Democratic majority had been
coming down steadily at every election. The dis
trict was rich in mineral resources. A protectionist
only could be favored.
The chairman announced that the Democratic no
minee had a strong free trade record.
At the same hour and place a meeting of the Re
publican Senatorial conferees of Montgomery, Dela
ware and Chester counties was held for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for State Senator. The
names of Messrs. Evans, of Chester county, and
Veakel, of Montgomery, were before the meeting,
but up to a late honr no decision had been arrived at.
