T in.peaalna The ffloetlaas ef the Anthra lie Hoard, ol Trade, aad af the Minora sail laborers' Benevolent Aaandatloa Kaaiars aad Patio Coocrrolo the Trade. A meeting of the operators of 8chnylkiil county was held in this city on Thursday last for the purpose of taking action says the call for the meeting on measures of the most vital Importance. One of the first of these measures was to pass a resolution that nothing which might transpire was to be m ule public, bo that douc but those in the ring are any the wiser. It may be that the interests of the trade require this secrecy that the miners are not to know of the intentions of the operators until their atten tion is called specially to them. It may be that it is beet for the interests of the trade to devise measures having a certain sup posed intention, but in reality having nothing of the kind, the real eud being understood all the while by those devising them, and so explained and acted upon at a secret meeting. But as a general rule tho?e things which do not allow of an open and fair examination are of a character euch as would be greatly damaged by a fair examination. A meeting of the Miners' and Laborers' Bene ficial Association was also held during the week at Pitts ton. This, in like manner, was also con ducted with closed doors; but this, wc believe, is the usual custom with that organisation. Va rious rumors are alloat as to what was there done; some stating that a resumption has been ordered for the 15th of this inMiub; others that there will be no more work done until March. But one very important resolution appears to have been otfered. and. as near as cau be gleaned, to have been voted down by more than a majority vote. This was a motion to allow some of the iron .furnaces to be supplied with coal during the suspension. All the furnaces are now on a very short supply, and unless the stock can speedily be increased they will have to stop. A stoppage of a furnace Involves great los not only to the owners but to the men em ployed. The condition of the iron trade at present, partly owing to the free-trade legisla tion of Congress, is such that a higher price cannot be paid for fuel. The Iron interest is of nearly as great importance as tint of coal, and the stoppage of all the furnaces in this vicinity would throw out of employment from ten to twelve thousand men. In the present condition of the trade the fur naces, if once stopped, will probably not be started again in a hurry, and on account of the great quantities of coal which they consume their stopage would seriously atTect the demaud for coal when there is a resumption of work. Here then is shortsightedness, meanness, and withal positive suicide on the part of the miners. The members of the association discussed the resolution for some time and then deliberately refusrd to pass it. As a consequence several furnaces, one near Bethlehem, aud another In Schuylkill, have already stopped, and others will speedily lollow unlees coal can be obtained within a few days. At Parry ville, savs the ticranlon liepublican, furnaces are situated within ten miles of the Nesquchoning coal mines, where several thousand tons of coal are on hand, but the fuel cannot be had, because the men will not permit it to be taken to the breakers. Here is a state of affairs for the de fenders of trades unions to contemplate. Here is an example of the usual abuse of power, which should, and if continued in will cause the overthrow of the entire organization. The six Shamokin collieries still continue operai ions, with one nddition to the number. The shipments this week, however, from that region were small on account of the heavy snow etorm.

One ef thr;Vnlrhmen Huoprndfd What I'amM train Toroln a. Ilaak lata ft sthoraiakor'o Hhon at NIht-Vbj tae INrUbbora Were Net Alaraird. This morning one of our reporters paid another visit to the scene of the audacious rob bery which was perpetrated In the Kensington National Bank, and there discovered that if one of the private watchmen had not en deavored to kill two birds with one stone, by soling shoes whilst he guarded the bank, the robbery would in all probability never have been perpetrated, and he would now be regarded, as he manifeetly is not, as an able guardian of gold and greenbacks. Being admitted into the President's room, where but recently the two watchman were King horn Ue combat, we fouud tha cashier, Mr. MeConncll. On th'j tables and floor lay battered tin boxes, which had oecn forced open by the robbers; and from the confused mass of papers that had been dumped out of them a number of depositors wern bunting for ttieir own. Said our reporter to Mr. McCounell: "Is it possible to gfcl a lit of the persons who have eutlered by this robber', and thsir Individual losses?" "It is not," replied Le, "for the bank oSiccrs cannot themfclves tell what the boxes con tained. The losers were allowed to place their packnges in the proof by the courtesy of the ollicers; aid as there were no conditions th it the bank should be responsible for their cafe-keeping, it,' of courte, loses nothing." "Has any octioH been taken," we further queried, "in regard to the disobedience of the watchmen?" "Yes, sir; Mr. Morris Murphy has been sus pended. "Why Mr. Murphy and not Mr. Holmes also?" "Because Mr. Murphy was the principal man in charge and let them iu, and Mr. Holmes was only an attestant." "it was unfortunate that they were hood winked so completely." "It was," excitedly responded the cashier. "Before I left on Thursday afteruoon I siid to tic watchman. "Do not let any one into this building, and if they try to eutur shoot tiieni down." "Were they well armed?" "Oh, yes, tdr. Besides their pistols there was a loaded gun in the room. They could have kept a hundred rcen out!" "How was it." wc then okcd, "that the people who live on either side of the bank were not alarmed at the unusual noise made by the poundiDg on the safe at miduight?" " Why ! fin-one of (hi? tnat:hrm:ii is a surioj a film timl r, (Jit'l he has tin u arrustiniit il to hriiirj infi in his bench here and working at ni'jld. 11 hen the peojile heard the hainnwrimj they thouijhl it irtin tin) hammering tn hin lapstone! But if Mr. Murphy had not disobeyed orders in the first place, the robbery would not have been committed." Our reporter then withdrew. The bunk has obtained a new safe in the place of that one which the robbers operated upon. It was discovered yesterday that the latter could not be opened by the ordinary means, the violence of its assailants having thrown the lock out of gear. A safe builder was sent for, and in ten minutes, with a ham mer aud cold-chisel, the whole top of the chilled-iron receptacle was forced oil and all its contents exposed. Had the robbers kept at work a little longer than they did, all the funds of the bank would have been at their mercy and the disastrous consequence to many a person would have been beyond auy remedy. Providentially the robbers gave up their work just ten minutes too soon. It is now estimated that the loss to the special depositors will not be less than $75,000. One of them, a woman in very humble circumstances, loses $500 bet all. This morning the institution is going along ap parently as smoothly as ever, arid no one would ever suspect that night before last it was the scene of such a bold and ingenious crime. Olr, AlerrU AIurihy'a Version of the Trans action. In all the reports that have been published thus far of the robbery Mr. Murphy's version of it has not been taken. This morning we. met him and obtained this statement: A great deal has been said about negligence on my part; but, while I admit that 1 am not wholly free from blame, yet the cashier's manner threw me off my guard. But I had better commence at the beginning. The men (rob bers) first came to the bauk at half-past five on Thursday. One of them was dressed, so I am told, in police uniform, the others were in citi zen's dress. They said they were police oflicers. I was not there at the time. They told John Holmes about their suspicions, and then said: "You had better go back to the cashier and talk to him." Holmes went back to the cashier and the latter said, "Tell tbem that I tbonk them for the information, and tell them to give my compliments to Lieutenant Clark." Then when John returned, they told him what they thought was trolng on, and then I think the)' said to John, "We will be down to see you to-night." V hen I got down to the bank, about 0 o'clock, I chanced part of my clothes and catna ritrht down stairs and said, "Well John, we have got to keep a good lookout for these fellows." and then remarked, "l am a little urea ana win lay down on the table." This I did. Holmes sat by the vault door reading. Then the knock came at the door, and my dog ran out and commenced to bark furiously. I went to the door and cried out, "Wbatno you want.' a voice came from the outside, "Wo want to see John Holmes." I said, "John, somebody wants to see you at the door," and he replied, "I know, it is these police ollicers." The door was opened then, I think, so John could see them, and when he looKea out ue said, "res, these are the police ollicers, let them in." I thought that tbey were all ncquainted, and so 1 let them in. One of the men called me to the door and asked me if I knew two men that were passing on the opposite side of the street, saying "'They are the men whom we have been following down the 6.reet. You bad better watch them." I then put on my coat, stepped out, and walked np to the corner of Laurel 6treet, and then back to the bank, and I could see no person who looked suspicious to me. Ho aked me, when 1 returned, if I saw any one I knew. I said, "Yes, I saw one man who had just come out of a rolling-mill near at hand. He was going up the street as fast as be could." vYe went to the bank door then. It was open a lsttle. We went iu, he ahead of me. As soon us 1 came In the police ollieer, who stood jut inside the vestibule door, came up to me and quickly put ids arm around my neck and choked me; at the fame time drawiug my head back wards, and while I stood in that position, he grabbed me; aud as soon as he grabbed me one of them struck me in the pit of the stomach, and this was followed by four or live similar blows. While this was going on, I got one of my hands free, and put it into my pocket taget my pistol. But one of them suspected my intention and quickly jerked my baud out and twisted my arm uud placed it behind my back, and the other shackled me. Here I was powerless. Tbty had trcatedLIlolmes so before I got in. I still lost no presence of mind, but was perfectly cool. Then he led me back, though I told him I did not want to no back. He said, "I want you to come back into the cashier s room " Th! I was forced to do, aud eat down by the cashier's desk. When there my captor said, "1 am iroinsr to erasr vou." I said, "There is no use in that; you have me tied; I can't do anything." He said nothing, bat took my cap ana tore it up ana rammed it into my mouth, and then tied a rope around my head, so the gag could not come oil. Then he said, "Uet up iroui mere, ana come over to this (the northern) side of the room," and then he placed me in a dark corner. He then wanted me to He dawi. I told bim "No; I cannot." He said, "You might as well;" and I said "No; let mo sit here." Well, after I had been sitting still a little while. for you see I had got the gag loosened, 1 tried to get into conversation with him, and then he said, "You don't seem to be easy; you are trying to get your handcuffs off," for you see I had just teen testing to see now ukui iney were. I said "I am not doing anything of the kind He responded, "I will be if I don't shoot J you." I aiitwered, "U would, pot be oi any con sequence to do that;" and then we had a jood bit of talk in that way, when be all at once broke out, "You have irot this thinir looss od yonr month." I said "Yes, and I think yon might as wen taae u on. it is ainagreeariie ana of no consequence." His reply was, "Well, I guess I will," and be took it off and threw it down on the floor. Ho asked me, " Do yon want a drink of water?" and I raid, "yes," and he got me a cup, sayinir. "lhero is not much In It; you can have what ihere is!" I took a swallow, and my captor fecined to be more quiet. I asked him If be would not give roe sotuo tobacco, and he took out his box and put Into my mouth a good chew. 1 saia, "inai is never in you, oua ne then, further to please me, brought the cash ier's brood back chair, and got something for ae to put my icei on. fctn i was more com tommy nxea, ne came and taliped me on the shoulder saying, "Now, we know you arc notn tpoiuiiug to Jioimes) poor men. "les, said 1. "we have notniug but wnai wc worK lor. ' noimes was men iving nt my feet half dead with fright. "Now," said he, "wc are going to help you." "How," I asked This he did not answer, but turned his response, "We don't want to hurt you." Said I, "This is a devellsh poor exhibition of it, any how." Then he becan to lauirh. Said he, "W here is the money in this bank?" I answered. "It Is in the vault. " "Is there any in the drawers?" "No," said I. Then tapping me nuain on the 6houlder he re marked, "I tell you what we will do; we will put a few thousand in your boot htn we get the money; won't that satisfy you ?" I said, "I don't want to make any bar tnins. But 1 have got one request, if you will do that for me It Is as much as I can ask." What is it?" said he. "My box is in that vault. Jt has got my name on it, and what is in it beloDgs to female beneficial societies, and if you will not touch it I will ask no further favors." Said be, "You may rest assured that yttur box will not be disturbed. I will brimr it nnrt put it on the table by you." "xou will! says I. Yes," he responded. "Then," said I, "I will be under great obligations to you." He went away, and Holmes commenced to make a noise, when ho came back, and hit me on the shoulder, Baying, "I will be d (I to h 11 If I don t shoot 5-011 now. I told bim that it was not me but Holmes who made the noise, and he said, "Well if I hflar it again I will shoot you; see if I don't; I tell you now for the last time ! We don't want to do any harm to you if we can help it, but you have got to keep etui. All this time his associates were at work in the vault. I could not see them, nor can I tell how much they took; but this I know, that tboy went back on me, for they went through my box worse than any other. It contained $000 of my own money, 1500 belonging to a female beneficial society, and enough more to make altogether f 1537-55, belonging to the Wesleyan Burial Ground Association. They cleahed the box right out, better than they did any other box in the whole concern. Now the cashier and the rest censure me. When these men came in on the afternoon of Thursday, the cashier said to Holmes, "If anybody comes into the bank shoot them." But be should have gone right down to the lieutenant from whom the so-called olli cers said tbey came, and asked him if he had sent these men to the bank. The station- bouse was almost on bis way homo. If he had made this little investigation, which any pru dent man would, the whole bunch of robbers could have been nabbed. A year ago they knew an attempt was to be made on the bank and in formed the .Lieutenant, and he had a police force on band and the robbery was evaded. When the men came at night tbey said to mo, "1 he cashier has gone to see the Lleutenaut." and of course I thought it was all right. I have been a watchman there seven years, and I have been faithful. One of the Heavy Loner. Among the heaviest losers by the robbery is Mrs. Kate lleim, residing at No. 1507 North Seventh street, who bad placed on special de posit in the lire-proof United States coupon bonds to the value of $15,500, and also a valua ble gold watch. The watch having beeu left ber by bcr deceased husband, she is able to give such a description of it, with the maker's name and number, as will lead to its identification in case it is offered for sale or pawn; but Mrs. Ileim neclected to make a note of the numbers on ber bonds, and their identification is conse quently impossible. THE CAMDEN U1Q1ERS. ( onclufiton of the Trial .Indae KlxonVL'liarira Verdict ol Utility. The trial of the Camden riot ca-e. In the United Stati s ljistrict Court at Trenton, has occupied that tribunal two weeks in toe Hearing or arguments ana the receiving testimony. Yesterday (the case was given to the jury In a charge by Judge Nixon, which occupied one hour in the delivery. The case of irrancls fSoudcrs, one of the accused, has been made the trst case. The Court said the indictment was founded under the act or Congress approved In May of last year. It contained three couuts for hia dei ii g various persons Irom exercising the riht of suiirage, two or wnicn persous uppuarea not nu legal voters. Neither the Court nor the jury should exercise any Judgment as to whether the provisions of tlie act of Congress under which the ludlctmeut was found were wise or unwise. The Court held there were three tlilDgs for the Government ti prove: First, that the election at whicb the oifcnse charged was couiniltted was for a member of Con gress, and that a person was hindered from voting thereat; second, that the person interfered with was a qualified voter of the State and precinct at the time ol such election; and third, that the de fendant unlawfully prevented such voter from ex ercising the right of suiirage by force, threats, or otherwise. Judge Nixon observed the law was not made for the protection of a class, and even if it were, that if alter some colored men voted they again fell iuto line, with the intention of voting a second time, 1 hat constituted no excuse for an attack on them or any others. The Government insisted that Bonders was among those who attacked the colored men, and assisted in driving three or tlam from the polls in the afternoon. The defense insists that the allegations of the Government are no' proven, particularly insisting on no connection with the a'ternoou riot. The evidence, he said, was sometimes conflicting and somt time doubtful, and the jury would have ti carefully distinguish between positive and nega tive evidence. If one person sees a thing and ninety-nine fall to see it, the former's testimony must not be discredited unless the iiluety-niue were so situated tlmt tlicy could not have failed to see it. The jury must consider the conduct of both parties on the occasion. The Judge particularly charged the jury to be careful not in unv way to allow prejudice to interfere wltn their verdict. Was it not natural lor the colored men, belrg there In numbers, to form a line, as the whiles would doubtlessly have doue? Had the w hites any right to interfere? Witnesses all agreed that the colored men were peaceable before the at tack, but alter that their couduct was violent in the extreme. Whether they were Justified under thecir ruuistances was a question for the Jury to decide. The alternonn outrage was particularly bold and bare, and while many witnesses swore Souders was there, only one positively suui he was not, and that witness' iiHme was Martin, who appears to be one of the parties indicted lor riot on this same occasion. In conclusion, the court said If there was a iy doubt as to the guilt of defendant, the Jury must give htm thefnll benefit thereof. "Let no feeling on your part that in such high-handed outrages somebody ought to buffer induce jou to vi.lt upen his heai, if Hare Is a reasonable doubt of his guilt, lUe trans gression of others." At 11.V A. M., Judee Nixon having concluded his charge, the jury retired. According to a despatch published elsewhere, it will be seeu that Kranels Souders. whose case was made a test one, has beeu fouud guilty by the jury. Recovery op Stolen (Joods. About nine o'clock last evening two men came driving down Second street, near Poplar, at an immoderate rate, followed by an individual crying stop thief.

A riclurc ol Nun PmoclMro I.lfe, The 8an Francisco Bulletin of January 2i says: "Mit-sinf a dashing young man, recently resident here. He occupied a hluh social posi tion for neof his years, and apparently en joyed the confidence of a largo circle of ac quaintance. He was not in auy sense a waif. His Lome, abounding in gentle womanly lutlu ence, intelligence, and refinement, could hanllv be otherwibo than pleasant. Of relatives aud friends he had a Bulliciency. His earnings, under ordinary circumstances, should have suf ficed to pay his expeoHes; even more, a mode rate bank account mlrht have been opened. Rut the serpent of San Francisco fashion won him over to her side; he entered the ranKsaud became one of fashion's legion. The parUcular station to which he was assigned has not tran spired. Whether he disposed of mouey at the gaming-table, in the haunts of fallen women, or at the stock market, we are not prepared to itate. Rut it Is true that the young man has disap peared. The haunts which knew him once know hlni no more. lie has betrayed the con fidence of friends und employers to the tune of several thoutand dollars. There are no miti gating circumstances in the cii'-e. He has de ceived purtles for whom he cluimed to have the greatest friendship. "It is blRh time the alarm was Bounded in this community. The city is drifting towards a vortex of crime, ani parties who should aid in shaping ber course properly are away from their Btationu." A HOTEL IN FLAMES.

The telegraph has reported briefly the total destruction by fire, on Thursday morning last, of the Halllday House, a four-story brick hotel. In Kenosha, Wis., involving the loss of seven lives, and the certainty of the death of two others. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp In the lamp room, and it was lirst discovered by two gen tlemen, Captain Eveiett and Mr. Smith, who passed the hone returning from a ball. They at once attempted to arouse the Inmates of the houre, about thirty in number, but the flames spread rapidly, the smoke rushing uptairs, and filling the staircases and passages with a dense and suffocating atmosphere. The guests rushed out in scanty nitrht attire, and, alter ninny eiforts, several of them suc ceeded in effecting their escape. Two hand engines were promptly prepared, while efforts were also made to bring two jets from neigh boring steam works. Tne correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says: Meanwhile the scene In and around the burning building was liorrltln in the extreme. The night was dark as pitch, a strong wind was blowing from the north, and a heavy fall of mingled sleet and srf w added to the misery of those engaged la their attempts to rcsetie tlio Innia'es or t in tiotnl. lit tte lutid dure of the flames conid bo seen men and won en hailing from the windows and crying In oi spnlr for assistance from nelow.

Among ihose who were thus Baved were f ii r servant puis. Mr. Osmond Cnpron. son of norace Capron, Fulled Rates Commissioner of Agrleulture, was asleep in his room on the third floor fit the hotel, hm aroused ty the flames. From the street could be seen the stairs lead'ng to his apartment in one timss of tlames, the current of air drawing tnem upward aud fanning them into an Intensity of heat that soon consumed the wooden structure. Those below could see Mm burst through this atmosphere of fire, clad only in his shirt aud drawers, to the second story, and etsHy io descend ny the Btalrs, bnt these had been burned away, and only the window was left. For this he made, his turning garments clinging to him, and leapt (1 to the ground into the snow. Half a dozen men sprang to his assistance and raised him. He was (tnte delirious, raved terribly, ami insisted, with tho strength of a madman, on walking across the street. Hut the paroxysm was soon over, his frenzy subsided, and he was carried o ihe house of lit nry Andre, on the opposite side of the strict, blood dripping from all parts of his body at every step. T'ie lainp-llget revealed a hideous spectacle. His right, cheek was burned clear to the bene, and masses of charred flesh Ml from it. Ills collar-bone protruded, ctatred and ghastly white. He Is a young man aged about twenty-four years, and was employed us a clerk by his brother. A. U. Cspron, flour und feed dealer, lie Is unmarried. 'i he fire was put out by s o'clock this morning. Thestrearns of water continued to play on the ruins in order to rool them, preparatory to the sad task of nigging out the remains. 15y ID o'clock they were siiillciently coo'ed to commence work. Business was suspended throughout the town, and all who could assisted in the search. After aixmt an hour's work they came upon the last, terrlbm evidence of the tragic md of Mrs. Merrill and her little ones, beneath a pile of bricks and beams lay the mother, charred to a cinder, her face so burned as to have lost all semblance of humanity. Clasped tightly to her breast was the little one-year-old girl, also ter ribly bnrned. Adjacent were the remains of the three other children, two boys and one girl, forming a group, ghastly yet tender, which drew from the eyes of the strongest men tears which not even their iiianhond could suppress. Tenderly the little corpses were taken up and placed in com ns, and then the hapless mother was taken np, still clinging to her little one with a grasp that not even an agonizing death could loosen. Mother aud child now occupy the same cefl'n. Mr. Merrill was at South Uend.Ind. He was inimedltf'y telegraphed for, and isexpeoted to-night. The body of Wade has nit yet been dis covered. It Is probable that the remains will be found to-morrow. THE WILLIAMSBURG GHOUL. Exnegerated Itrnort Concerning hln Doing Towards the latter part of December last, while two respectable German ladies Mrs. Kunselman and Mr.', lihineherd were on their way to the German Catholic church, in Mon trose avenue, Williamsburg, a boy, apparently about Bixteen years of a?e, wearing a grey jacket and a solt felt bat, suddculy came behind them and assaulted them with a knife or some other sharp Instrument, and immediately ran away. Ihe facts of this proceeding were reported to Captain Mullen a few days afterwards, and he notified his ollicers. Nothing more was heard of the mysterious boy until the evcnlngof the 2Sthof December, when be attacked Miss Amelia Hen rice, of No. 10'i Montrose avenue, and drew a knife across her temple, inflicting un ugly gash. On the of Cth January he assaulted and maimed Miss Lizzie Baker, of No. 150 Montrose avenue, und from that time until tte. 20th of January nothing was heard of him. On that evening he murderously assaulted Miss Anne Biinkhoff, of No. 142 Kemsen street, and Miss Agnes Lyssie, of Grand street and Graham avenue, while they were on their way to their homes. These facts caused a profound sensation in Williamsburg, and tioce that time seusationai reports of tho doings of this evil genius have been found in various New York and Brooklyn journals, and nt the present time so great is the alarm among the moihers and daughters of the upper section of Williamsburg, that none of them can be in duced to leave their homes without escorts JV. Y. UtralL The days are an hour longer than they were duripg the inidd'e of December. l'rominent bunkers in London, who have recently written to bankers and others promi nent in financial circles in this country, in re ference to the Alabama claims, say that the appointment of (ieneral Scenck as Minister to England has been received with much favor, and that the British Government is more dis posed than heretofore to adjust the pending uestion. They further assert, in effect, that the settlement will open the market for a large amount of tho L'nited States bonds in the coun try. The prospect of an early settlement is generally regarded in ollicial circles at Wash ington as favorable. FINE STATIONERY AND Card I2iig-ia.viiigf.
