This will empower the commissioners to secure houses at a much less expense, as tbe upper stories enn be rented to societies, meetlnir-roo n. buir1-y-ehools, etc. His Honor also approved toe oill r?lndlmr tbe clause In the supplement to the Fire bill in which the commissioners were compelled to secure the approval of all bills by the Council Committee of Fire and Trusts. THE COAL TRADE. The I.erk-l, and IIw the People Regard It Ecoaoniy UeairaMe The New York Klnga Iltrrtlnae of the Trade tfurlaar the Week, aad the Terma Ottered The Krply af the lUlaero Expected eal If aUlatlen-Uaetatlona, Klo. At was to be expected, the combination of In terefts for tbe purpose ot bringing the miners to terms, though first regarded as tit little mo Dent by the people at large, has now raised a most lively excitement, and various outcries are heard both in favor of and against the action of tbe companies. Should tbe present situation continue, there will be many complaints heard ot a very vigorous character, and uiauy who now think otherwise will then join the coin plalners. It is to be hoped, as the best thing 4or the interests of everybody, that the difficulty will soon le adjusted, but if it is not, we should have a little patience, bearing In mind that for bearance on our part will result in a much bet ter state of affairs In tbe future. There Is no immediate necessity for any alarm concerning a scarcity ot fuel. We have on band in this city surplus enough to lust during all the time that could possibly be re quired for an adjustment of the difficulties, if we only kuew it. Nevertheless it behooves those consumers who have a supply on hand to be very economical of it, for by so doing tbe de mand is lessened and the retailers have so much the less pretext for raising the rates upon what they have in their yards, for which no higher price has been paid, and the higher valuation of which is most lelt by the very poor people, who cannot afford to lay in largely and who are obliged to pnrcbase. The present mild weather will materially assist in any economical moves In this direction. But we have not much to complain of in the retail prices here, when we take into considera tion tbe natural tendency of human nature under tbe circumstances. We believe that some few dealers ask as high as ten dollars per ton, but tbe majority do not atk tbat much as yet, though all have raised somewhat. In New York tbe case is far different. There both retailers and operators are combined for tbe purpose of taking advantage of the situation at" tbe expense of the public. It is understood that rings are buying up all tbe coal that can be had, and are advancing the prices more and more dally. Tbey have already worked it as high as $12 per ton, and one New York jour nal, probably in the interest of the ring itself, and with the aim of making a further advance the more easy, announced during the week that coal was selling at $20 per ton. This, fortu nately, turned out to be a hoax, but it is entirely possible, unless the heartless ring members are dealt with in a severe manner. The retailers also are putting on the tariff re gardless of consequences, and, when selling by tbe bucket to small consumers, charge at the rate of $40 per ton. In tbe face of thin, some of the Brooklyn coal merchants complain th.U their stocks are proteeted from the public only by t-haky board fences, and fear that a mob of outraged citizens will take forcible possession of their premises and distribute the coal them selves. This they may well fear, and it Is to be hoped tbat such a mob will do just such an act if tbe heartless men continue in such a course. We do Dot believe tbat any jury could be found who wonld give tbe dealers damages. It may be urged that this course of the dealers 1b do more heartless than that of the coal com- Jianfes who produced the lock-up. but the case s entirely different. Whatever underhand ends tbey may have had Id view, the chief reason for the movement is the better condition of the trade in the future, to the greater convenience of the public. But the dealers, in putting up prices on what coal they have already bought and paid for, have no other object than tbe ad vantage of their own private pockets, and this at tbe expense of those who can least bear it. One at least of the principal New York mining and carrying companies is a notable exceptiou to tbe general rule. It refuses to sell tbe stock of coal it has on band iu its New York yards, except at retail, and even then will not sell more than one ton at a time to one family. VarlouB meetings of tbe trade and of the miners have been held during the week. At a meeting l the combined interests coal, Iron, and transportation held on Thursday in this city, terms -7ere offered to the miners, who are to hold a meeting to-day for the purpose of de ciding whether they shall be accepted or repu diated. The $2 50 'basis, with a sliding scale up and down, is offered to Schuylkill; but a provi sion is made that the Union shall do more inter fere with tbe government of tbe mines by tbe legitimate owners. This is, in effect, a stand against the unjust demands of the Union. Thee terms will be held to. as they were unanimously adopted by all the interests. On their accept ance or rejection by tbe miners depends the continuance or end of tnedifticulty. Action has been taken by the State Legisla ture, directing inquiry as to the powers of tbe railroad companies to Impose the high freight charges. This was rendered necessary to sileuce the demands of the President of tbe Miners' Union, but there is no probability of its going further. Ibe men and the Union will flud theniFelves as little popular in ilarrlsburg an in Philadelphia, save with the representatives from their own region, and even with such they are considered necessary evils. All parties are now begioning to find out for the first time or else the gag of fear is for the flm time removed from their mouths that the Miners' Union is ruled by a set of ignorant men belonging to the Irish element, who rule to tbe detriment of all concerned. This is what we have been saying all along. The present gov ernment of the Lnion, if not the Union Itself, is cow on its last legs. Its power is gone by reason of its long abuse. The more respectable mem bers have taken no interest in it for some time, or if they did, their sentiments have been con trolled by violence. These are now heartily tired of tbe thing and wish themselves free. It is thought tbat this dissatisfied class includes about half the membership. If this Is so, the combination of the companies has taken place at a very opportune moment for the destruction of tbe union. We ilncerely hope that this de struction may be accomplished. A combination to procure fair measures is not undesirable, and agalDSt such no objection can be made, but this tbe Miners' Union never has been, nor after what it has been, can it ever be. Members of the National House of Repre sentatives are trying to take advantage of the present excitement to procure a repeal of the duty on foreign coal, but without success as yet. This is to relieve the Ea-tera manufacturers and make them independent of the anthracite producers by allowing the entry of the Nova Scotia semi-bituminous coal, which by reason of the situation can be had much cheaper. At a meeting of Schuylkill operators held yesterday, an address was drawn up toJae pre eented to the public, for the purposrof fully explaining tbe points at issue. This is imp rt aDt, considering the reticence which has gov erned the action of that class in the past. It hows that tbey actually do take some thought of how the public will regard their actions. Possibly, however, it Is mainly because they are afraid of a terrible outcry against them should coal become very scarce, and prices very hlcu. Up to yesterday nineteen of the thirty-eight slacks belonging to the iron furnaces of the Lehigh Valley were blown out from want of fuel. This throws a large number of men out of employment in addition to tho?e idle at the this port, and consequently no quotations. Heverul vessels were loaded "for New York t ) alleviate tbe greater scarcity there, but -were delated by tbe ice In the Horseshoe shoal. Tuey can now. however, probably get through. The stork in New York is represented a only aSnnt, 15,000 tons, but this is probably ouly about half the actual amount, the story being gotten up by tbof e Interested in running tip the prices.

Mauy of these statements have been promuluaied by the iuoraut leaders ot the W. B A. For instance, Parker, taebbwk snutb. tatd nt a meeting, tbat the in irket wrmld take 16 000 000 ton AMbracite ia 1S71, aud wj could produce 22,000.000 tons authraclte InlSTl, makhig a surplus of 6 000.000 tous. ThN is only about 8.000 OIK) tons ut of the wav. . We sent to market, in 1870 15,363,437 tons. The mvket will take, in addition, at fair rates, about 1.3)0, 000 to 1,500,000 increase in 1871. With all tna mines working iu the usual way, without push ing (aud there will lu no necessity to push them this ear), we can produce not over 3,500,C00 increase over last veer's supply. This would leave about 1,003,003 tons surplus to dispose of, and three weeks additional stoppage to tbe usu.il stop pages during the senou, would remove t:ie snrplus anthracite coal. With Anthracite at high rales, there would be but little deruxn I over 1870. We are speaking of the coal Bhlppel to market, which does not include the cmuiu,) tion in the coal region. These calculations are baed on a t2 50 basis for coal, and correspond ing low rates of tratihportatlon by the c.irrvin companies. If coal should fall he'o i i 2 on the average at Port Carbon, a number of the smaller collieries could uot keep in operation, and would have to suspend." This is the real state of the coil trade. The increase, however, will depend iu a great mea sure on tbe number of furnaces and iron works tbat may have to suspend. They are the great consumers of coal, and if many are compelled to suspend, they would remain idle until the iron trade improves, which is far from bciu in a prosperous condition now." Tenn Square. When the trees and railings were removed from Broad aad Al&rkt-t street, we supposed the grand area of territory de veloped would satisfy even tho most prej u diced individual that the only pUce to erect the gpuVdio buildings was right in the centre of this grandgqnadrangle, with streets around it, which, for width of pavement and roadwny, should eclipse any pnblic avenne in the world. But if eny of the Washington S jnareites still believe tbey can humbug tbe public into tha four nuildiogn scheme or into tbe purchase of Mr. Harrison's "old houses," let them take their Sabbath walk to-morrow to Broad and Market streets and look at the site for the contemplated buildings as now enclosed by a post and rail fence, and if they are not con vinced tbat they are standing in the way of a grand and imposing tribute to Philadelphia enterprise we are very inucn mistaken. Death of a Prominent Citizen. loshm Garsed, Esq., for many years a promineutmanu- iacturer et this city, died vesterdiv. at las resi dence in Koxborouirh, from heart dise tse. Mr. Garsed was born at Lee is. In Yorkshire, England, in January, 1804. He came to this country iu 1821, and, in conjunction with his father, com menced tbe flax manufacturing business at Frankford, where their mills were twice de stroyed by fire. They then moved to Wissa- nlckon, where their mill was again destroyed by fire, on tbe site of tbe present "Kitchen" mill. Subsequently Mr. Garsed wis appointed Consul to Hull, England, under President Tyler, which position be filled for five years. In Pil7 be returned to this country and settled in Rot. boiough, where be has since lived. From early life Mr. Garsed was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was highly and deserv edly eHeemed in all the relations of life by a very large circle of friends and acquaintance. Is the United 8tates Special Tax Con btiti'tional? William A. Husband, actorney-at-law, was etterday bound over by United Stales Commissioner Craig biddla for tbe non payment ot the United States special tax. Tbe refusal of Mr. Husband to make the payment grows out of a desire of tbat gentle man to test the constitutionality ot the act of Congress on the subject. The point in question ib that the special tax Is a direct tax, and which ran only be collected in the manner that the Constitution prescribes, namely, that the tax must be apportioned among the several States. Tbe defendant has collec'ed together a number of decisions recently made in tbe West, by th3 aid of which he thinks he ctn prove his case. He has already filed a bill of equity in the United States Court. A Gaso of Corner-loungers. For some time past a gang of vulgar young men have been iu the habit of congregating in the vicinity of Fifteenth and Kater sireets. The reraxrk made by them were not at all complimentary to passers-by, and much complaint has been made of tbe locality. Last evening Lieutenant Hen derson and a squad of pollcemvn mule a de scent on the crowd and succeeded in taking six of the Dumber in custody. Their names are DenDls McClelland, Dennis MoCall, Thomas Montelth, Patrick McDevItt, Willi ira McCall, and John Hutchinson. Tbey were arraigned before Alderman Dallas, and have been each placed under bonds to answer. Singular-A 8upp08ed Trance A young lady of Germanton some time ago visited a Miss Harriet Day, daughter of Jacob Day, ot Flourtown. Tbe young ladies retired to bed, and in the morning the visitor aroso and dressed bersflf, without attempting to awaken MUs Day until ber toilet was completed, when she was horrified to and that ber friend was dead. She had evidently died during the night, but the cause of her deavb. was unknown, and it was rumored that she wti only in a trance, but aftar keeping the body for several days the fact of her death was placed bevond ji doubt. The funeral took place this morning irom tbe residence of her father. Would-b Kioters Last DluU at German town road and Oxford street Henry Park and Levi BesslDger attempted to create a disturb ance between two fire companies. They did not succeed, however, but these would-be rioters were placed underarrest. On being taken before Alderman Burrs, they were each required to enter ball In H1200. Died Suddenly.

He was, therefore, in his ninety-seventh year at the ti ne ol his death, and for one of such extreme old sgc was remnrk bly vigorous and active. His foimwas straight and erect, atid his eie-lut was so good that he was never compelled t resort to the use of spectacles. Tbe only serious in mini, indeed, male upon bis faculties by the weittbt of years was a si ght deafness. His dress whs always of an antiquated style, anil be in variably wore upon his head a "quaint-looking fckult cup of zephyr work, without which he would scarcely have been known. r r the old store in which he hid done busi ness so long be entertained a strong atfectio:i. When his business gradually fell away, be was lired by his daughter to remove his establish ment t j another locality, and though this en tieaty was otien nmde, be stead lastly refused to accede to it. saying that all who wanted any of bis music knew where to find it. and thai, hiipplly, he was so circumstanced that he could Ket along very comfortably wkhont Felling a Htigle sheet. But the old day when his store was the fashionable resort of the inusic-1 vnu public had a grt at charm for him. and he wo il l gossip by the hour with any one who clio.-e t bolicil reminiscences of his early life. He had been an earnest devotee of nrisic Iji his earlier days, and loved it for its o va 9 ike. At obe lime be was a Hue performer ou tne flute, and to foster a taste for his favorite art be established a private shilling bocietv styled ''ibe Apolloiilaiis." The staid PbilailuVblans of the early part of the century, when the old Quaker 1 1 incut was tuuvh stronger than it Is in these dt generate days, set. their faces inraiu t this Innovation, and spared no efforts to break up the Ringing club," as tinv iuvidio m! v styled it. The law was even invoked t put a.i end to tbe evil practices of the amateur guuer. hut Mr. bUke came off victorious iu the co ins "the ApoUonlaus," of course, gaining strength and reputation by the persecutions to which they were subjected. Hut it was But ouly by reason of the e.-tablisb-incnt of a singing society that he encountered aninitsity and persecution. Previous to the opering of his music Btore the publishing biiM tiess bad been iu the hands of the oulv two music lead ers of which the city boasted. Tlfse two easy-going geiitlemeu had been iu tbe habit of publishing between them lour ne pieces ot uiuoic per annum. When Mr. Klake set himself up in business as their rival be imported presses lor printing music from Euglaud. aud, d mg his own engraving, astonished the people aud ex cited the wrata of his colaborers by the fre quency with which he brought out ue.v and attractive music. One of His rivals was so greatly incensed by tbe innovation that ho eV'ii a sum I ted Mr. Blake ou the fashionable High strut. Mr. Blake had been apprenticed to a carpen ter in early lite, and for some time after his ai rival In this city earned a livelihood by wo k iTig at his trade. He bad also learned in E'ig laud the business of manufacturiug mu-lcal in struments, aud, as we slated yesterday, the llr-t piano-forte ever made in this country was eon stiucted by his hands, without any assis'ance. His workshop was for some time in the rear of bis music store, which was first established on Third street, below Market, in the latter part of the jfar 1796. and not as late as lS'JS, as before staled. With the manufacture of pianos, and the publication and sale of music, he c unbinn fir a time a circulating library. Thomas Jeffer son visited bis store and workshop in the year lt-00, and concerning his visit he wrote thus to his duughter Martha: -"I have met a veiy ingenious, iuode.it, and poor young man who bus invented one of the prettiest improve ments in tbe piauo-forte I have ever seen. It Iihh tempted me to engage one for Moitlcello." It does uot appear that the people of Philadel phia were much disposed to follow the examp'e set by Jefferson, but there was nevertheless a ready demand for his Instruments, an atfent of the Erglish bouse of Broad wood buying up all the piano-fortes Mr. Blake could find time t construct, paying him therefor whatever price he choose to demand. Mr. Blako was the father of a large family, his children numbering twelve, wo believe, of whom four only survived him. One of his sous. Captain J. Edmund BUke. of the corps of topo I'lnpbicnl engineers, was killed at tne battle of Kesaca de la Paliua, in the Mcxicau war. THE LNSriUNCE PATHOL. The Flrea lliirluic January.
