The resumption of operations In all the anthracite
repions is dan J Becoming more general. As pre
dieted, the resumption or one region necessarily
carried the others with It. The latest despatches re
pert the coining to terms of the Unaware, Lacka
wanna, ana western company's men, who at the
last moment agreed to accept the company's terms
and Ifrnomlniously bring np the ttnT'TTfr Penn
sylvania Coal Company's men accepwdy tTienilgher
oiler of their employers earlier In the week, after
once rejecting it, and this favorable action was
rather unexpected. It Is expected that the whole
upper region will be in active operation by Monday
next.
The men of that region must by this time see at
least some little of the folly of their coarse. After
standing idle and loslog money for the best part of
six mouths, they new lesume work, some having
gained a paltry advantage of nve cents per ton wit li
on t even the excuse of a principle npheld and ob
tained, while others have gained absolutely nothing,
resuming at the terms offered when the strike wa
Inaugurated, and being obliged to trust to their em
Plovers for the hope even of something better.
These advantages are truly something to fight and
starve for. and we admire the men's foresight,which
was so over keen as to prevent them from seeing
that nothing better could be obtained, and so kept
them from accepting the very same terms weeks
ngo, when all parties were already heartily tired of
Idleness
In Schuylkill the resumption has become practi
cally general under the terms of the umpire's deci
sion, which they finally concluded to ask lor, and
whirh was given on Wednesday last. The only ex
ceptions to the general rnle, we believe, are some
few collieries bear Tamaqua, and the reason that
the men at these collieries voted against resumption
VaB that 'other collieries in the 'same region are
working, and have been for some time, on the three
dollar basis. The men hoped by so voting that they
also might obtain the better terms.
The terms as laid down In the decision of the um
pire are nor, however, satisfactory to all the work
men. Some of them think It nnfalr that they by this
decision now have to work at lower rates than those
which the operators voluntarily offered to them a
short time ago. Butthey should remember that these
operator's terms the miners deliberately refused, be
cause they thought them too low, and compelled the
strike to continnc, much to the loss and discomfort
of the operators.
The tolls by the Reading Railroad have been ma
terially reduced, tbongh not as much so as was ex
pected, according to the schedule published In our
columns during the week. The new rates were not
promulgated in time to take effect on Wednesday
last, much to the disgust of the operators who had
numerous loaded cars waiting at the mines to be
brought down and enable their owners to ba the first
In the market.
There has been a slight fear that the Schuylkill
resumption is not bona fide, and that an attempt will
be made after some work Is done to get better terms
by threatening another strike, the men thinking the
operators would rather accede to their demands
than stop work again after once starting. There Is,
however, very little ground for such fear. The men
are perfectly starved out, and do not want to stop
work again for some time to come. The solilsh
leaders may desire and counsel such action, but
their power over the men, at least In snch a case as
this, Is gone, and It will not be regained very quickly.
Then, too, another stoppage will immediately raise
the tolls again, and things will be in the exact posi
tion that they were before the resumption.
After straining their patience so long the men had
better be careful how they trifle with their employ
ers, for tbey are dally by their actions playing more
and more Into their hands. Another suspension In
Schuylkill at any very near date would so disgust
the owners of the land, that numerous coal proper
ties would be for sale at very low terms. These
would be Immediately bought up by the Reallag
Company, for it only could work them. It one indi
vidual found it Impossible to run them, another
would, and the company would become the
purchaser. This has been the policy of the oompany
for some time, as is shown by the large advauce in
the value of its stock while the road was almost
Idle. Numerous coal lands have already been
bought, aucorolng to the common report, to be
owned and run by the company. Once the owner of
a majority of the mines, the company Is the ruler or
the region, as it is in Luzerne. Then the basis question
will be permanently settled by its permanent disuse,
and the men will have to take what wages they can
get, and in. what manner they can get them.
In answer to numerous Inquiries which have been
received at this.ofllce as to what has become of the
writ of tio warranto which was Issued against the
Heading Company, we would state that no one ap
pears to know datinltely what has become of it. It
was made returnable the first Monday in May, but
whether it was postponed from that day to one
more distant, or whether It went by
ileiault, cannot be ascertained. Onr own impression
is, as before stated, that the whole thing is a com
plete farce. It was inaugurated by the Governor
and his guardian angel, the Attorney-General, for
political ends, and as a counterpoise to the extreme
measures which it was found necessary to use
against the miners. It was prebiwly never
Intended that It should be carried anv
further than the inauguration, for that
is the only part that the miners could understand,
and, as it was for their beneilt, what was the use?
We wondered at the time that the Attorney-General
should spend his precious time in such small trick
ery as this, and, in accordance with onr advice, he
has probably thought better or It and turned his at
tention to more serious business. lie can in some
other way more speedily make the miners to sup
pose that he is giving the companies their dues ac
cording to the miners' Ideas.
The following is the complete summary of the
trade for the past week, as reported lor the Potts-

THE rilESCYTERIAN SXNOD.
"Ho to Bnlld np the Church' The Pitts
burg Prcabyterr IMacnaalon this Mrm
tug of How to Procure the Nation's "Wel
fnre. On reassembllnir yesterday afternoon tko
synod resumed the disenssion of the subject of
' How to Build np the Church," which was par
ticipated in by Kev. Samuel Moflit and others.
Rev. Dr. McLeod presented the report of the
Tlttsburg Presbytery. Accompanying It was
a protest and appeal against the dismissal by
said presbvtery ot the congregations of Ebe
rier.er and Hermann at their own reqtiest to the
United Presbyterian denomination. The appeal
was signed by the minister, J. Moffett, and J.
M. Imbrie, elder, dated at Darlington, Pa., and
gave rife to a long debate, which occupied the
whole session. It was most thoroughly dis
cussed. A vote took place, and the appeal was
sustained by a lame majority, after which the
synod adjourned until this morning.
THIS MOHNIKO.
The synod reassnmoled at lo o'clock this morning
In the usual place, Ktv. A. Thompson, Moderator, lu
the chair. '
The meeting was opened with praverby the Mode
rator, and after the reading of the minutes the
synod proceeded to discuss the question, "How to
procure the Nation's Welfare."
For this purpose, as before decided upon, nev. 8.
oung occupied the chair, and that gentleman re
quested the synod to Join in the singing of the 80th
psalm. The 2ith chapter of Isaiah was read, and
Kev. II. E. Wylle led In praver.
Further devotional nxni-clsiea vp tiM tha
Moderator having expressed the opinion that the
religious portion of the programme la just as Im
portant as any other, and he hoped that the mem-
uers oi me synod would SO look upon It.
The subject of discussion then camo up, and Rev.
A. Thompson took the floor and snld that he called
to mind an annecdote where an ambassador at the
Court of St. James inquired of (ueen Victoria what
was the cause of England's greatness, and the reply
was not that nation's splendid military equipments,
her great navies, nor her diplomatic skill, but simply
in the Bible, the inculcation of those trutns con
tained In the Gospel of .leens Christ. Handing a
Bible to him the Queen said, "There Is the s mrco of
England's greatness." The speaker lnforced th
Idea in a few explanatory remarks.
Rev. Dr. Steel Bald vlthouc discussing the cause
of other nations' welfare, the subject was more ad
dressed to the prosperity of our own land. The re
marks of the preceding gentlemen were of course
applicable to this. The reverend gentleman then
took the ground that the elevation of the moral tone
of this land must come from the llftlmr nn of mon
to power who have the spirit of the gospel strongly
imbued in their creed. One of the best ways to
secure the welfare of the nation is to permeate the
national heart with the idea that we must be in
subordination to the Mediator.
Kcv, o. ioung said that rlorhteonsness exaltnt.h
a nation, and we must determinedly set our farpa
against Intemperance, Sabbath-breaking, and all
forms of sin.
At the conclusion of the addresses, t.hn anhiont tn
be discussed on Monday next was announced. After
which A. S. McMurray, M. D., arose and requestet
to be allowed to resign from the committee ap
pointed to consider the protest and appeal In rela
tion to the Pittsburg Presbytery.
The Moderator was of the opinion that some little
dlfllcultlcB in the way of the committee ought not
to prevent a member from serving on thesara.
He would, however, put the n otion. and the synod
decided to allow the gentleman to resign.
Mr. Little was appointed to nil ihe vacancy .which
makes the committee at present as follows: hav.
A. G. Wylle, Rev. James Scott, and Mr. Little.
This committee then brought in a report, saying
that they had examined the records of the Pittsburg
Presbytery, and find that the minutes are missing.
On motion, the report of the committee waa ac
cented and referred to the Committee on Discipline.
The Committee on the Chicago Presbytery pre
sented its report, to the effect that the records of
that body were found to be correctly and faithfully
kept. The report was accepted and approved.
The following minute on the death of Rev. An
drew Walker was read by the Secretary:
"Affain tfaii vnicA nf fAd Rom fr n. ini),.4..ii, i -
brother in tbs ministry. Tne Kev. Andrew Walker de
parted this life on the 7th of September, 1870. at his own
tome near Milton, Wisconsin. It is becoming the mem
bers of the synod to raoognize the Uiviod hand in this
dispensation and make a proper improremenl of it to
their own spiritual benefit."
Following this are a series of resolntiona. in which
the virtues of the deceased are extolled, and in
which the synod condoles with the mourning family
of the deceased, and most affectionately commends
them to the care and sympathy of Him who is a hus
band to the widow and a father to the fatherless. It
was resolved to send a copy or tho resolutions to the
lamuy oi meiaiejur. w aiter.
Dr. steel moved that the publisher and editor of
the rresbiiterian of this city be tnanked for his kind
ness in supplying tne members of the synod with a
copy of that paper. Agreed to.
The records or tne Ohio Presnytery were found to
be covered by a committee for that purpose, and the
report was approved.
Mr. reter uuwon caned the attention or the svnod
to the fact that in many editions of the Psalms pub-
iisnea in jew lorn ana nusnurg tney nave been
found to differ from the regular Scotch edition in
many particulars, and he moved that a committee
be appointed to look Into the matter.
j)r. Mctod did not think it necessary to send to
Scotland for the regular edition, as the correct ver
sion could be procured In this city. Still, he thought
that the matter ought to be Investigated, as we are
getting into strange measures nowadays.
nev. a, xnompson agreed wita tne latter gentle
man. In some of the Western churches they have
experienced difficulties from these inaccuracies.
mr.lmbrie did not think it necessarv for the svnod
to take any action on the matter as long as thee are
correct editions. Ail that is necessary to be done is
to buy the correct ones and reject the others. He
had understood, however, that some verbal correc
tions bad been made by the publishers, who bad ob
tained the consent of the General Assembly of the
United Presbyterian Church to do so.
The matter was further discussed, and the svnod
finally passed a resolution, offered by Mr. Woodslde,
providing that the committee appointed should pub
lish to the Church the place where the authorized
version could be purchased, and also the price of
the same. Agreed to.
Rev. Mr. Wylle arose and requested that the
members of the Pittsburg Presbytery then on the
floor be asked to give all the Information in their
possession to the committee appointed in the mat
ter. .
It was moved that the request be granted.
Rev. J. Moflelt spoke against this course, urging
thaet was taking an unfair advantage of the de
fendants. Rev. . Toung moved to amend by requiring the
plaintiffs and defendants to meet the committee at
some place to decide the matter.
'j-ne motion ana tne amendment was then passed.
The delegate to tbe Retornied Presbyterian Synod
presented his report, which was accepted.
The report of the Treasurer of the Theological
Seminary of the Church in this city was presented,
Knowing that tne balance on nana at present is
$134-67. Referred to the Auditing Committee.
A resolution of thanks to Joseph H. Schrelner o.
the Philadelphia Tract Society, for his donation oi
traftfl t,, tha uvnn,l urai Ofrr&o,! tn
Dr. Steel thought the synod right to take cogni
zance of the fact that there are likely to be litiga
tions in regard to the property of congregations in
which secession has taken place by a number of the
members. He said that a rupture bad occurred in
a congregation at Morning Sun, Ohio, and also
Princeton, Indiana, and he moved that a committee
be appointed on the subject.
The Moderator was here requested to appoint the
committee on the purchase of the correct edition of
the psalms. He appointed Rev. Dr. Steel, Dr. S.
11. Mcleod, and Rev. Mr. Woodslde to constitute
the committee.
The synod then adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock
on Monday morning.
Concealed Weapons John Linda, residing at
Darien and Thompson streets, discovered some con
trivances about the house, and, aelievlng them to be
dangerous copperheads, concluded to make them
harmless. Wrapping one of them in some paper, he
applied the match, but, showing no signs of life or
motion, lie commenced uj mow me breath or lire
upon the fuse, when, to bis astonishment, be sud
denly felt a burning sensation about the nasal or
gans, while the objects before him disappeared from
his optics, leaving Linda minus a perfect nose, with
ruined eyes and a eharred phiz.
Tbk Matob Deci.ines. Recently a letter was ad
dressed by many prominent Democrat to Mayor
Fox, requesting the use of his name with reference
to tbe I emocratic nomination for the Mayoralty.
This morning he returned an answer, deciiulng to
be a candidate for renominatlon, basing bis objec
tion on the ground that his private business re
quired all bis attention.
Assaulting an Ofkickr This morning at 8-25
Officer McGlnley, of the Seventeenth' dlntrlct, in
passing Eleventh and Carpenter streets.encouutered
cue Wit huel Shields, who was making a great deal
of noise. He was ordered to "move on," but instead
of this picked up a stone and struck the conservator
of the peace on the head. He was then at rented and
teld to answer.
A Koihv Rii i I.jit Avpnlnir an entertainment
brought a greai crowd of roughs of both sexes to
Musical Kuod Hall. There waa flehtlng continually
from the opuiDg until the clone of it. About 11
o'clock, during a severe struggle, a pistol was fired.
The police rushed in and collared ten follows, who
will be heard this aneruoou.
JIMMY LO0UE.
A Daring Attempt to Escape from the Offi
cers. Onr readers cannot have forgotten that daring
young fellow whose exploits have been published so
often with the flourish of rhetoric In our dally
papers Jimmy Logne. To almost every grade of
crime James is familiar, and his conduct would
seem to indicate that he had a mania
for misdoing, for hardly does he
escape justice upon some flimsy pretext or legal
technicality which cannot be overruled, bnt what
be falls at once Into the commission of another
crime and finds himself again In tne clutches of the
law. Jimmy, with a pal, the other day was seen
leisurely driving a wsgon along one of our by
streets. An officer, suspecting something wrong,
captured them, and upon the examination of the
vehicle discovered a bag of burglar's tools.
This afternoon Loguo was to have hadafnrther
hearing before Alderman Kerr, and was placed in
the Kognes' Oallery" of the Central Station, under
the charge of Olllcer Ilelse. The upper sash of one
or the windows or the gallery was lowered, and at a
moment when some slight circumstance diverted
the officer s attention, with a spring like a deer,
Jimmy reached the window and lioundcd ont, land
ing upon the avenue between the Mayor's office and
the east wing of the State House.
From this point he rushed with the utmost speed,
and witn a crowd of people at his heels, foremost
among whom could be detected his quondam guar
dian, into the American Hotel, down into the base
ment ami Into the passage made remarkable by the
escapeof the notorious Jimmy Haggerty, and Issued
Into Minor street. From here he dashed into Ben
nett's Tower Hall, and emerged into Market street,
taking a westerly direction. .
At Seventh and Chesnut streets he was captnred
by a citizen, and in a moment Detective cordon
came up and took him in custody, escorting him
back to the Central Station, where he was, by Jus
tice Keir, committed to Moyamensing Prison.

The Knn(hts templar The Allegheny Knights
Templars of Pittsburg, being about to proceed to
Europe on a pilgrimage of four months, will pass
through this city on Friday, the 2d of June next.
They wlU bo received by a committee consisting of

Tax on Charitable Bequests. The bill to repeal
the tax on bequests "for any public, religious, chari
table, or educational use or purpose," has passed
the Senate, and has been favorably reported by the
Committee of Wayc and Means in the House. As
Pennsylvania Is the only State in the Union In which
benevolent bequests are taxed, it is hoped that tbe
bill may be passed early next week.
Tbe Delaware Harbor Police. Last night the
officers of this force recovered a skiff laden with
stolen Iron at Point House wharf; also, at Eagle
Point, a yawl which one week ago was stolen from
the schooner Fawcett; also a patent fire extin

at the Beach and Coatcs streets Are last night.
Gross Carelessness When the Ore broke out
at Smith & Harris' mill last night, it was discovered
thai the nearest plug was covered with 50,000 feet of
lumber. It required fifteen minutes to uncover it
and bring it into use. by which time the conflagra

Harrisbcro, May 30 The Senate this morn-
Injr made a coup d'eta. The Democratic mem
bers of that body held a caucus at an early hour,
and the results were apparent when the Senate
met at 10 o'clock. A resolnllon was Introduced
nnd adopted to adjourn sine die on the 23d Inst.
This was followed by tbe second resolution,
virtually to stop all intercourse with the House
until that body reconsidered the vote by which
it yesterday defeated the amendments to the
Philadelphia Registry law. This was also
adopted by a party vote. The result ef all this
will probably be that the House will concur in
the final adjournment resolution, and will rather
snfler the appropriation bill to fall than to re
cede from its action by which the registry
amendments were defeated.

BRIDGING THE HUDSON.
The Projected Highland Suapeualon
Bridge Between Fort Clinton and Au
thony'a Nose The Work to Begin at
Once.
It Is announced that the "Hudson Highland Sua-
f tension Bridge Company," chartered by the Legls
ature of 1869-69, has begun operations. The books
for subscription to the capital stock, which is fixed
at t2,600,0uo, were formally opened May 17, and
plans for action in preliminary matters nave been
adopted. The contracts for material and work are
under advisement, and will be settled upon before
the close of the present month. The bridge will be
commenced early in the summer, and will probably be
Untuned before tbe 4th of July,1875. The location was
determined upon by the following Board of Engi
neers: Horatio Allen, Georire B. McClellan, IL (J.
Wright, J. A. Gllmore, E W. Serrell, Egbert L.
Vlele, Charles B. Stewart. Julius W. Adams, William
J. McAlplne, and O. II. Barnes. The place selected
is from Anthony's Nose, on the east bank of the
Hudson, four miles above I'eekskill, and forty-three
miles from New York, across to Fort Clinton, on the
west bank, four miles below West Point. This is at
the narrowest part of the Hudson river between
New York and Albany. The bridge will be in one
span of 1600 feet from shore to shore. Comparatively
little masonry will be required in the abutments, as
the solid granite mountain bases on either side
airord excellent natural supports.
The length of the bridge between the towers will
be 1660 feet ; total length, including approaches, 2449
feet; height above the water level, 168 feet; safe
working load for the railroad trains, 2400 tons; safe
load for highways, 2880 tons; load that would break
the bridge, 25,171 tons. Two granite towers of im
mense strength will be built on each abutment, and
will rise 2S0 feet above the water level. Over these
will be Strang the npper main cables, the ends of
which will be deeply anchored in the solid granite
mountain side. There will be 20 main cables in four
systems, each cable being about 14 Inches in diame
ter and composed of a new steel combination wire
in manv strande. These cables will contain
871,195,750 feet, or aoout 70,308 miles. The total
weight of iron and steel used will be 1750
tons, with a suspended weight of 9651 tons. The
total amount of masonry will be 53,044 cubic yards.
This structure will safely support a train of sixty
cars, and 35,000 people. The amount of weight that
could be crowded on it at once will be but one-sixth
of its supporting c apacity. There will be two decks,
or floors, the npper for the railroad, the lower as a
highway. The elevation above the water level is
far higher than the tallest masts of passing vessels.
The appearance of this great bridge will be exceed
ingly graceful and Imposing.
The benefits to accrue from this enterprise are
many and valuable. It opens a new connection with
too whole country by which the transportation of
freight and passengers will be relieved from the
delay and expense of reshlpment, and will be unin
terrupted by ice during the winter season. For
highway conveniences it will be invaluable to all the
region within thirty miles, and a population of over
100,000 will use It.
An immediate connection Is to be made with the
Brie Railway at or near Turner's. The distance is
but twelve miles, and the route lies through a very
productive iron region, with a favorable grade to
wards the river, at Fort Clinton. A short branch,
three miles in length, will connect with the Hudson
Klver Kallroad at Peeksklll. The direct air-line
eastward, the New England Railway, will continue
on to the Connecticut State line, passing near Lake
Mahapac, and crossing tbe Harlem Railroad at
Brewster s. Thus a continuous rail route be
tween the Eastern States, the Pennsylvania
coal 11 elds, and the grain tracts or the great West,
will obviate all the existing disadvantages of ferry
ing and breaking bulk. It Is estimated that 6,000,000
tons of coal will pass over this bridge annually,
saving an enormous waste and vast expense. Coal
can thus be brought bv rail as Is the case In Phila
delphiadirect from the mines to tbe retail yards.
This, of itself, is an Important item to New York.
The same benefit accrues in the case of Iron, grain,
general merchandise, and passengers.
The freightage from the mines to Ellzabethnort,
Philadelphia, or to this new bridge, is aoout the
same. From these places, adding the freight by
water, the shipping expenses, insurance, loss on
two shipments, and usual allowance of 6 per cent,
made by the railroad companies, gives this result:

Present means of communication are totnii in.
adequate to the trauspottation of the Immense
amount of freight luterchangtd between the Kist
and the West. An estimate based upon offlmal
statistics showstbat about 1,600,000 tons of through
irelght, conolstlng mainly of manufactures, grain,
flour, wool, cotton, oil, and live stock, are annually
transported between the Eastern anl
Western btutea. Nearly all of this is subjected to
tedious delays of ferriage aud transhipment, a se
rious loss that will be avoided by the new bridge aud
direct railroad connections.
No favoritism or preference will be shown to any
road, as all will be changed toll per car.
It is diillcult to estimate the durability of such a
bridge. General Berrell, the Eiigtueer-ln Chief,
suys that it win last for centuries. There is a sus
pension bridge la France that was built toe years
ago, and one in pekln, China, 2000 years old, both
of which ara now in serviceable condition. The
Hudson-Highland Bridge will have the longest spaa
in the world, and will cost about t?,0ufl,ooo. The
Board of Directors meet unit Wedueaitay, and will
announce their contracts within a fJW days. N. Y.

DH. SCHENCXE'S &Z3AW23Z3D
Tonic.
This' medicine, inven ted and preparred by
Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, is proved
to be the best remedy for dyspepsia, and all
disorders of tbe digestive organs, that has aver
been offered to the pnblio. The great Buooesa
and popularity of Dr. Schenok's Pulmonic
Syrup ara sufficient to reootninend this Tonio
to publio favor and confidence. It was
originally designed to be used in connection
with the Fulmonio Syrup in the treatment of
consumption, but experience proves that it is
adapted to all cases of indigestion and debility.
The Seaweed Tonio possesses all the strength.
niBg properties of iodide of iron, iodine, or
iodide of potassium. It is also similar in
nature to the gastrio juice, the fluid which
nature provides to carry on the process of di
gestion, and when that fluid is defioient, tbe
Tonio Buppliesits place. It is the wly
medicine which can answer this purpose, and,
consequently, it is the only medicine whioh
can cure dyspepsia. Other preparations, how
ever they may seem to afford temporary re
lisf, never fail to aggravate the disease. This
must necessarily be the case when corrosive,
acids and minerals are used to ' cure
indigestion; and such are the remedies which
physicians generally prescribe for that objeot.
The Seaweed Tonio contains no such inja
rieus drugs. It is distilled from a vegetable
substance, which is prodnoed in great abua
dance on the seashore, the mode of diatilla
tien being similar to that which is used la
the manufacture of Jamaica spirits. This
Tonio never disagrees with the most delioato
stomach. In the early stage of consumption
this medicine is generally of great utility, as
consumption often begins with disorder of
the stomach and general debility, for whioh
Schenck's Seaweed Tonio is a certain remedy.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, No. 15 N. Sixth Btreet, corner of
Commerce street, Philadelphia, every SaturJ
day, where all letters for advioe must be ad
dressed. Price of the Pulmonis Syrnp and Seaweed
Tonic, each, $150 per bottle, or $ 7 0 a half
dozen. Mandrake Pills, 25 cents per box.'
For sale by all druggists and dealers.
