THE COAL TRADE.
The Farce of Arbitration "Will It lie
g A?ln Performed! The V. II. A. In the
AVa y of an Agreement Coal to Newcas
tle The Complete Tonnage for the
"Week, Etc.
The past has been M eventful wee In the history
of the coal trade. For tne first time a general
board representing all tue region, has held a meet
ing 'or the purpose of settling the dinicultlea ami
cably, by means of arbitration. Early In the week
the bores of all parties were high with the expect,
tion of an early settlement, but the close of the
week does not fulfil the promise of trie beginning.
The council has been held and is fully over. It has
amounted almost absolutely to nothing. In some
respects the situation Is worse than before, for the
proceedings of the meeting were conducted In suoh
a manner that It Is Ter.v doubifnl If the experiment
will ever be tried again. The operators, whom
we can credit with good Intentions, at
least in this move, went to the
meeting with the pnlrit of mutual concession strong
In thetu, and only in such a spirit can aroltra'ton be
arbitration, lint tney were met by the sordid and
selfish spirit of the old leaders of the miner, whom
the miners still persist In sending wherever their Bi le
Is to be represented, though they always represent
It in the worst possible way, and the operators have
now gone home totally disgusted with the whole
thing. The general disappointment is necessarily
great at. this result.
One thing oa which the members of the board
could not agree waa snbrultted to the decision of
the umpire. This was the question of interference
with the mines, which has been made a special con
dition of resumption by the Schuylkill operators.
The umpire, giving his decision according to law
and right, decided against the miners, and they,
taking the alarm, relused to Bubmit anything more
to nis decision.
Arbitration to the miners evidently means the
putting down of all claims by the railroad compa
nies or operators and the upholding of all demands
made by the miners. They do not seem to think
that there is such a thing as fairness In the thing,
by means of which the Interests of both sides may
lie considered. Their action, at all events, In the
meeting of the board shows that they did not come
prepared to concede the least item in their claims
Thev, on the contrary, manifested a grasping spirit,
trying by every little mean advantage to defeat the
wishes of the operators. With such a spirit there
can be no arbitration. There must be mutual con-
esslon and a desire to accommodate at the expense
of some advantages. The parties must come to
gether to see good-naturedly what can be done un
der the circumstances, and by so coming together
they acknowledge that what they each desire cannot
be obtained In any other way. If one party, however,
meets for arbitration, and at the same time attempts
to gain every Inch of his former claim, no aibltraUon
can result.
But even In what little there was we hare no
assurance that there Is any permanent value.
When a questton Is submitted to aa umpire It Is with
the understanding that his decision is binding and
final. But that this Is not the case here is shown by
the refusal of the miners to submit anything further,
and by the absence of any action by the board
making the decision of the umpire a part of the legal
pioceedingB of the board. There is no authority
whatever for thinking that because Judge til well
said that the miners should not Interfere with the
management of the mines, that therefore when the
miners are again working the members of the W. 11.
A. will refrain from striking because a "olack-leg"
Is given employment at a mine where the members
of the Union may be working. If this be so, even
what was done was no arbli ration whatever, aud
there 1b not the slightest authority for calling It by
that name.
The action of the board leads to only one conclu
sion, and that la that true arbitration cannot exist
In connection with the V. B. A., or at least with the
Union as It Is now organized and managed. Willi
new and less selfish, leaders the thing might be
done.
The principal difficulty on the wages question
which caused the disruption of the council was in
the demand of the mluers that the basis of each
region be fixed the same, aud on the New York
rales of coal. This was uaniiestlv unjust upon the
Sehnylkill operators, and was by them promptly
refused. That the representatives of the Schuylkill
miners should have insisted upon such a measure
is a matter to be wondered at. The
only explanation conceivable Is that they were op
posed to the whole system of arbitration, though
they have to appear to like it, because It is now
thrust upon them on all sides, by their constituents
as well as by others, and that they, by adhering tit
unjust measures, hoped to be able to defeat It and
cause It to be rejected as a means of settlement.
They fear it because they think that It Is detri
mental to their positions as officers of the W. B A.,
and dangerous to the salaries which they receive
from that source.
! he itinera' Journal makes mention of a curious
and yet lamentable consequence of the strike lu
the Schuylkill region. This Is the fact of a rolling
mill in l'ottsvllle pouring out of Its ehlmucvs the
thick smoke of bituminous coal which It Is obliged
to use to keep In operation, and which has been
brought all the way from the western coil-neldn,
though the mill la situated within half a mile of au
anthracite colliery, which la not allowed to be worked
by the miners' tyrannous association, and though
the proprietors of the mill own a colliery in the
neighborhood, also under -the; same ban, which Is
Intended to supply their own works with
fuel. This, thongh bad enough, is not a bit more
outrageous than that we here In Philadelphia should
be obliged to use coal brought some three hundred
miles from Pittsburg, while our natural fuel, of a
better kind, Is right at our doors, or what is equi
valent to It, by reason of the railroad advantages
which have been constructed for the express pur
pose of bringing it to us.
The following is the complete summary of the
trade for the past week, as reported for the Potts
ville Sliner' Journal of to-day :

The Journal also has the following:
"If the men suppose that the railroad companies
and coal operators will not sUud out until the dead
lock is settled on the terms they propose, they will
liiid themselves greatly mistaken. The companies
can staud as long as they please, because they are
not violatlog their charters, and their present ousl
rices will pay expenses and the Interest on their
bonds. Many of the individual coal operators may
oe oroKen up cy tue suspension, out li
they are rutned their collieries will
piibs Into the hands of corporation,
who, in connection with the railroad company, will
Boon control this region, the same as the Wyo.ult'g
region will be controlled In a year or so, when the
men most submit r leave. That wdl be the only
alternative. The reign of companies, of course, will
not be very palatable, but It will be much less objec
tionable than the reign ol ignorance ami brute
force exhibited by their leaders, aud the bad won
they nse lor their purposes."
r "Our advice to ihe men in Snhuylklll county Is to
take the matter into their own tiauda at the d liferent
collieries, and propose to their employers to go to
work on the following basts for 1871: Adopt the
12-60 basis with a rme and (all of one per cent, in
three cents per ton, lining the supping point at
I'JUS, lnotead of 12, In the bang heretofore ottered.
This will be the best the men can ob aln even if
they should go to work at a 3 basis, simply because
cue-half the collieries could not work at that price
for tire want of a market and wages would unqimi
tlonably rundown to t'i, the stopping p'ttut in tha
basis adopted In November last for 1ST), because
other regions would undersell them and furninh the
coal aa they did last year. This proposition, ft mada
ty the men (the coal operators will not offer it) we
lelleve they would accept It as a com promise."

A LIVELY SCENE.
Alrie of the Famous "Orleiitnl JAVasti,"
and IIoit it i:arae Into Popular Demand.,,
Madame Lamertine, wno boards at Thirteenth
and Locust streets, prepares a cosmctle by the name
of the "Orleiital Wash," which, If we ma? believe
what Its admirers say of it, la possessed of the
miraculous power of bringing back to the cheeks of
the aged the ruddy glow of youth, and gives to the
most annoylngly rough aud unpleasantly looking
epidermis a smooth and beautiful surface. Dis
cover now, kind reader, how it enjoyed a popular
demand 1
A Mrs. Harper, who represents, herself a? an
actress, called at different stores in the city aud
earnestly inquired of the clerks whether they s ild
Madame Lameriine's famous Orleutal Wash. "It
was a remarkable wash." fine said, "and so tf (Moult
to obtain? AU the actresses use it; I am an actress,"
she coyly added, "and I know its worth."
Some said, "We have a bottle or two;"
others, "we have about a haif-a-dozen."
"Oh ! I must have more. 1 do not want less
than two dozen bottles. Can't you get it forme?
Here Is a deposit of a dollar, and 1 will call to-morrow
and get the two dozen bottles." The prlco of
the "Oriental Wash" to dealers is 813 a du.en.
This was the method pursued in each store, the
dealers Investing for two dozen bottles which were
never called for. Thus the Madame did a lively
business. This same ingenious stratatrem was
practised on Mrs. Sollzer, who keeps a store for the
sale of lanryarttces at No. 5.V) N. Klghth street,
and Mrs. Koltzer very quickly discovered the "Ori
ental Wash" was a con founded drug in tha market.
Yesterday rooming, while she was waiting at the
counter, heroaughter ran In, exclaiming, ".Mother!
there's that woman!" Mrs. Sollzer looked out, and
having fixed her eyes npon the seductive Mrs.
Harper, rushed out and tightly embraced her.
"Come with me, oh you 1 Corne with me!"
"Take vour hands oil!" Indignantly exclaimed
Mrs. Harper.
No I won't. Come with me !"
A largo crowd was soon attract d by the novel
sight of one woman, bonnetless and earnest, hold
ing tightly on to another, who was making impotent
struggles to escape.
'Won't somebody," she exclaimed, "take this
crazy woman away !" and then noticing that her c ip
turer was diverted, by a sudden spring loosed her-
seii irom ner grasp. Mie ran down to Franklin
street with her bonnetless pursuer at her heels.
She Jumped npon a Union car. Her Nemesis, with
eqHal aiaetty, jumped on too. They rode to the
Baltimore uepor, wnere, upon alighting, mm. Harper
was grabbed about the waist, and an animated scene
like tnat at Eighth and Jjuttonwood ensued. Mrs.
Harper made the same appeals to the stolid but un-
synipathlztng crowd and she struggled as valuly as
before to escape, nntli she adopted the mode of sud
denly breaking loose while a gentleman was speak
ing to her custodian.
Lightly she hopped upon a Fifteenth street car,
but, to her terror, saw the determined woman who
had been swlndkd Into buying the "Oriental Wash"
plant herself near the door. She got oft
at LociiBt street and ran down to Thir
teen! h and up the steps of the hou?e where
Madame Lamertine HveB, with her undismayed
and bonnetless victim following lively. Upou the
steps she was grabbed again, another boisterous
crowd collected, and a lively drama was enacted.
Reinforced by the Madame, Mrs, Harper managed
to get into the house, and the door, slummed and
bolted in the face of the determined woman who
had been wronged. She was compelled to ietire,
and the crowd dispersed.
Detective C'arlln arrested Madame Lamertine and
sne will have a hearing this .'tttrnoon as a party to
a conspiracy to swindle.

Dr ScHcnck's New Iron Store Building
Au Ornament to tlic City.
A new building Is now In process of erection,
which will be completed in about three or four
weeks time, which, when completed, will be one of
the fluest of Its kind In the city. It is of a kind pe
culiar to Itself, and is Itself of a very extensive
kiad. It Is situated at the northeast corner of Sixth
and Arch Btree.s, and when completed will be oc
cupied by Dr. Schenck, by whom It is being erected,
who will remove his extensive patent medicine es
tablishment from the large store which It now oc
cupies on Sixth street, near Market, hut which Is
now too small for the requirements of the business,
to the new locality on Arch street.
The building on boih the Sixth street and Arch
street fronts is cod posed of cast-Iron, and, unlike
other Btrutrtures made of that material, is of a very
ornamental chnracter. The castings or the various
parts are bo dlsslml'ar that scarcely any two are
a ike, so elaborate is the design and finish. On the
Arch street front the first floor Is divided Into two
large stores, eac h of which has its own finish, but
on ilia other floors the arulittecture or each runs to
gether In one general design. On the Sixth street
front, about the centre, U a projection or tower-like
formation, finished with centres and facings, from
which the sides front and back rnn out as wings. lu
the centre of this middle part on the ground floor
are arranged large doorways, which are highly or
namental, and in the wings ornamental djor ways
and windows alternate In groups of three. In the
upper stories on both fronts the windows ae ar
ranged throughout In groups of three, two small
ones on either side of a Isrge one, aud ibis effect,
together with the ornamental moulding1! and caps
surmounting each window, gives a highly pleasing
appearance to the whole.
The structure is five full stories in height, and, in
addition, Is supplied with a high Mansard roof.
The entire material of the fronts from sidewalk to
rlr'ge is iron, and when completed and the windows
filled in, all that meets the eye from the street will
be either Iron or glass. A more substantial and
wtthai more beautiful building coo Id not have been
erected. It will stand for ages a monument of the
great business enterprise aud success of Its owner.
The Incendiary Fibb at Ohhsnpt Hiix. The
Incendiary fire at the residence of Dr. Kane, In
thonut Hill, on Thursday night last, is under in
vest nation by Fire Marshal Blackburn. Dr. Kane
had furnished the resideuce, but never occupied it.
i he Sheriff' had; seized the property and placed a
watchman in charge, but the latter had left. Some
of the luriiltuie had been removed from the house
be'f re the tire occurred. A strange man was seen
about the place on Thursday, who Inquired tne road
to No ristnwn. The house Is near to the Convent of
the bis uts of St. Joseph when the nre broke out It
was reported the convent was burning. Bubbish
had been plied around the porch of the house and
fired, the lattice work being slightly burned. The
baru was afierwxrds Bred. At 10 o'clock P. M.
Mrs Fagan, wno lives near the p'nne, and who saw
the stranger near ahont there on Thursday, went to
the spring for water, aud at that time there were no
signs of aBy Are. Soon after, however, the fire
broke out, and before the companies arrived upon
the grnund the barn was entirely destroyed, the loss
amounting to about $.100.
A Swindler Discovered One George Roberts

who is in charge of the City Mission. He graphi
cally described tlie case of a destitute womau and
four children living in the house he occupied, No
71ft Moore Btreet, and asked for aid. Mr. Durborow
gave him a dol ar, and yesterdav went himself to
the h cation given to discover .whether: the case
was one that luerbed relief. He learned, much to
his surprise, that Mr. Hoberts did not live there, u r
was there such a destitute family us he described In
the vieitv. Hardly had he returned to bwown
home when the swindler called attain and suppli
cated adoitloual aid for the starving fnuilv. llav

t orow then nailed it as a falsehood, whermipon
Itoberts Jumped back, snd with alacrity slipped
irom the premises. He has not since been seeu.

The slums of Bedford, Fpafford, and Baker streets,
those letdonng snots of cop raptlon which each year
brliig to Philadelphia more c rime and disease ai d

visited this meruing by the Sanitary Committee of
the Honrd of Health.
At eleven o'clock the gentlemen composing the
commit-te ar-stmbled at the Health oillce.and imme
diately procetded to the locality for the work of In
spection. The committee comprises the following
gent rmcn : Dr. Thornns St.enardson, Charles B.
Tiarrett Kdward Bennett, Dr. La Koehe and Henry
Davis. On ariivli g at the place of meeting, the
Bedford stieet nnsMon, ou Alaska street above
Slxih, they lound High Coi.stable John Cnney, who
was waiting in readineFS to conduct them to the
vaiions fpots which deiiund attention.
I in- flrnt. place vlfited was at Nr. 614 Alaska
Btreet. There was some difficulty experienced in
valuing ai ceM tJ this place, ns tne athletic Irtsh
Wrinn was not In a mood to admit prying eyes.
Constable Cm e ', howtvtr, insisted, and well know
ing that gen'b uian, she it hint opened the gate,
saying that '-She didn't care for all the Boards ul
Health In Philadelphia." The lnk of this place was
not In the most encourag'tig condi ion, and Mr.
Davis directed ihe clerk, Mr. I.vuch, to note the
condition of the place and order the well to be
cl snt'd out within twenty-four hours.
Tne Irishwoman seemed to think this as a reflec
tion on her housekeeping abilities, and she tired up
ami nttertd a scathing sarcasm, for which the Irish
aie famous. She told them In substance that Bhe
had nothing to do with the place. I don't own the
bouBe ; If the well is bail, what's that to me ? I told
the landlord to clean It, and he won't do It He's
one of your I'nlm BeLevolent men," and with a
pan antic twinkle In her eyes she clinched this piece
of irony with the remark, "1 guess he's one of your
selvcB.'' 'l he gentlemen smiled, and told her that
she was not to Maine, and so proceeded to the next
plsre of intcrc St.
This was at No. S2T, ft few d?ors above, on the
north side. This is a notorious den of thieves. The
flri Moor front, is devoted to the sale of miscella
neous an icli s, such as groceries, clo hlng, and in
fact, everytairg. An Irishman keeps tins place,
and as ho was sitting npon the steps, smoKltig his
I Ire, the party directed th-Jlr conversation to him.
He was not in '.he least loth to give Information, and
replied to e?ery Inquiry without the slightest
hesitation.
On entering thiB delightful place, it was foind to
be in the most crowned and llltay cmditiou. Bid
clothing, wearing apparel, broken bottles, straw,
wcoel, lurnlture, old tin pans, broken crockery were
found stored away In every room. The reporter of
The Evenino Tei.kukapii pushed his Inquiries a little
further and ascertained that the owner of the house
8 a William Wallace, who keeps a store, so it was
asserted, on Chcsnnt street. '1 his lautllord lets the
house to a woman called "Barbara," a feraile
with more intellect than conscience, and who
is repotted to bo worth at least $20,000.
She has piled np this wealth by means of
at once ingenious and simple. She has crammed
the rooms with old niattresws and bundles of straw,
whic h Bhe rents out to lodgers at the rate of ten
cents per night, bhe has no lack of app'lcants.
ivery bummer and thief who reels home at mid
Bight can find a tpot where to lay his head in Bar
baia's house ; that 1?, if he has got the money.
But the cellar of No. 027 demands a word of no.
tice. in this miserable! and cramped place, with the
walls wet and oczy with the vapor of perspiration,
six human beings pass their time a-vay!
When we entered it we found three women sitting
there a Mrs. Nolen, her mother, and another
woman. The three little children
had been sent out to the tilthy street to play. The
place was piled up with furniture, and tuere was
hardly spaco on the floor sufficient to afford room In
which to move aroumL Tne ngly and dirty-looking
beds were ranged around the wall, which was plen
tifully supplier with nails on which clothing was
hung. Airs. Nolen, a good-looking, fair faced Irlsh
wi man, informed ns that her husband had left her;
he c ertainly had left a truce of his ferocity on his
wife's fate, for an ugly cut appeared under her right
eye, over which a piece of gummy sticking-plaster
had been nlaci d.
'He mother, too, showed Blgn9 of ferocity from
fcmebody. Her head was bundaged by a large
cu tn, which concealed almost all of her face. Con
s'Bble Curley spoke kindly to the poor woman.
Btd noticing the wictchedaess aud squalor around
f!vea"Ood help you" to the poor wrctjhes. "clod
it lp ns, indeed," said the wretched woman, and ro
the party left them. The yard and sink of No. 6i7
was ordered to be cleaned.
Hwcuidbe imposbibio to give tn this brief apace
an adequate idea of the fearful amount of til' h and
disease concentrated in theso oti-ty places. The
committee vltlied uimost all tue houses, and one of
them, No. 711 was iu sti'jh a disgusting state that
they ordered an application to ne Bent In to the
Building Inspectors to have the whole house torn
ctnwn. At a place near Fifth street two dead
dogi, far gone into the stages of corruption,
wtie found. The stench aiiaing from these aud the
general finh of tne surrounding structure were most
Intolerable. Dougherty's court, a notoriously bad
place, was also Inspected. Baker street and Spatlord
8'reet weie also visited and the same scenes were
repeated. A number f dwellings were ordered to
ba removed, and nearly every house Inspected re
quired the cleansing of the sink.

A New Station on the Pennsylvania Rail
road An Kmbryo Town,
YeBterday a party of lntlted guests made a short
excursion over the Pennsylvania Kail road for the
purpose of inspecting a new station and town site
named Bryn Mawr, situated about nine miles from
the city. The locality has recently been p irehased
by the Pennsylvania Company, and has been appor
tioned out into town lots irom oue to four acres In
extent, npon several of which tine suburban resi
dences have already been erected.
it is proponed to make this locality one of the
