The Joint Committee of city councils to arrange
for the visit of the members to New York, on the
occasion of the unveiling of the Morse statue, alss
to participate in an excursion to be given by Tlllot
aon A Co. around New York Harbor, in the steamer
James Flak, Jr., met yesterday afternoon In the
Clerks' office of Councils. Letters were received
from Messrs. James D. Keld, Chairman of the Inau
gural ceremonies, and Tillotson, of the excursion,
containing tickets for a delegation of twenty-two.
As Philadelphia, in common with every other city in
the United Slates and Canadas, has been served
with Invitations, it is supposed that only a delega
tion from Philadelphia was expected. The commit
tee, after voting that the trip sba 1 be no expense
to the city, adjourned until Tuesday next to await
further Information. Our city should be represented
on this occasion.
An Impostor. For several weeks pant a short,
thick-set man, with red moustache and sandy hair,
has been going the rounds of the city and making
varlons attempts to defraud the people, ills method
of proceeding is sometniug Hue ine following: lie
calls npon parties, pretending that fine works of art
have been received from Europe and await the pay
ment of duties before they can be taften away. lie
represents himself ai a Custom House agent, 'and
volunteers his services for the purpose. We nave
heard of several attempts of this kind daring the
past week, In each of which be failed to extort
money, but It will be well to give him this notice, so
that the public may be put on their guard and the
police on his track.
FifHEK BAKBELIN'B URATE. At tWO 0'ClOCk t-
monow, the annual decoration of the grave of
Father Barbelln, late pastor of St. Joseph's Church,
will take place under the direction of the Barbeitu
Memorial Association. The procession, composed
of the members of the association, the male and
female sodalities, the St. Vincent's Conference, the
Sunday-school children of the church, and the
Catholic Phllopatrian Literary Institute, will reach the
cemetery at Eighth street and Washington avenue
by way of Passy unk avenue. Arriving at the grave,
the participants will deposit flowers, prayers will be
recited, aud hymns sung by the children.
The Ninth Representative District. In
making the nominations this month the leaders of
the Republican party should not overlook the faot
that wise and popular nominations fer members of
the Legislature would greatly strengthen the whole
ticket. Ia the Ninth Representative district the Re
publicans have acted upon this principle la putting
forward Hector T. Fenton. Esq., for the nomination
on their ticket. Mr. Fenton is well knowa as a
member of the bar In good standing, and a Repub
lican whose capabilities for the position weuld make
aim of great value in the city delegation.
A New Mission House The Fifth Street M. E.
Church have secured the Northern Liberty Engine
house, on Front street, oeiow ureen, on waicn to
conduct open mission work. To-morrow afternoon
the new mission house will be formally dedicated to
God's work, and addresses will be made by Revs.
William L. Gray, T. B. Miller, and Drs. J. Emerson
Kent and O. Osier. This Is a good selection tor
church work, as this section of the city really needs
evangelizing.

The anthracite eoal regions are now all working
briskly, xcept at Haxieton and Beaver Meadow, ;
Where the men are silli holding oat en. the groand
of seme small technicalities la the offer of the ope- !
raters, taring the men are all anxioas te resume.
It Is thought likely that this region will also begin !
work before another week has passed, for every day
that the men hold out the chance is lessened of good
wages. The market is being supplied steadily from
all the regions, and the later tbay are in coming la
tne less beaefit will they have of the steady prices
caused by the former scarcity. A mutual spirit of
concession to a very small degTee, is all that is de
sired on both sides to produce a complete resump
tion. The receat Pitts ton disaster has had at least one
good effect in connection with its many evils, which
Is the better observance of the spirit of the venttla- 1
tlon law, before a dead letter. So general has been
the neglect of its provisions that if it were generally
enforced the effect on the production would be very
perceptibly felt. The inspectors are, however, now
bestirring themselves somewhat, fearing to bring
themselves Into the same trouble as that in which
the one who should have Inspected the Pittston mine
has become Involved. But there are so many ways
of evading the spirit of the very poor law, that it Is
doubtful whether the Increased carcrulns8 will
amount to much after all. The only way under the
present circumstances to surely prevent a repetition
ef the Pittston and Avondaie horrors is to appeal
successfully to the conscience and generosity of the
operators.
Numerous accidents, many of them fatal, have
taken place in various mines daring the week from
explosions of gas allowed to accumulate during the
long terra of disuse. This Is the Inevitable conse
quence of all long suspensions, and the miner when
he suspends work adds this to the many other evils
which he brings npon himself by so delng.
Now that the Reading Railroad Company has ob
tained control of the Schuylkill coal lands, ttie men
must sooner or later expect that the basis will be
entirely ignored, and In place thereof the men, at
least those working In the mines controlled by the
company, will receive a fixed rate of wages, as the
men working for the companies of the upper region
are paid. Shonld this come to pass, the men will
have to thank for it their own leaders, to whose un
tiring effons the whole thing is due; and It would
be a cause for thankfulness to all parties, though the
miners might not be disposed to think bo The fixed
rate would be liberal, and the men would be spared
the trouble of the monthly fixing of the rate ef
wages, with its accompanying disappointments and
temptations to another strike whenever the rate
happens to be a little lower than was expected.
The first regular trade sale, since the suspension,
of Scranton coal was held In New York on Wednes
day IsbU The prices were much higher than those
of the last sale just previous to the suspension, and
higher than those of the sale of the same month last
year, but they are not near so high as the specula
tors surely expected by about an average of Jl per
ton on ail sizes. This appears to promise a still
lower rate for the next sale, and the effect will be to
make dealers hold off In expectation ef the further
decline
But such a state of the market. It Is thought, will
be less satisfactory than higher prices now with a
gradual decline afterwards, for by keeping
down the legitimate demaud of this season
of the year the demand afterwards will be
made greater than can De met. This
will produce higher rates of toll and freight and ad
vanced prices. The rate of reduction of soo.o.K)
tons per week will be required during the whole
season to supply the regular demand and make
good what has been lost during the suspension.
Any large addition to this demand will have the
effect described.
The amount sold was the nsual 60,009 tons, and the
attendance at the Bale was very large. The bidding
at first was spirited, but the later sales were mostly
at the lowest quotations.
The following were the prices obtained as com
pared with those of the last sale and with those of
the sale cf the same month last year:
XnvBl. 1S71. Jfit25. 1870. 2V.. 1S78.

These prices were for coal on board vessels at
EliKabethport, from which point to New York the
freight Is CO cents additional. The average on board
vessels from these figures would be 85 per ton,
against the average of the same month last year
Of 14-49.
According to the Miners' Journal the average In
Schuylkill connty for the month, in order to make
competition with this price possible, cannot be more

Trade nas been oriss, out not quite as mucn so as
It was the previous week, on account of the hot
weather and former heavy shipments.

The following Is a summary of the trade for the
past week from the Pottsvllle Miner's Journal of to
day :
"ine quantity sent oy ran tor tne weex is iri.usa
tons, by canal 85.941 tons; for the week 148,026 tons
against 27,191 tons for the corresponding week last
year. This is one of the largest weekly shipments
sent rrom tms region ior tne last two years, and it
can be considerably Increased so soon as the cars are
fathered in.as they were considerably scattered dur
ug the suspension. The whole supply of anthracite
ror tne week is Bsi.vin tons, and bituminous ei.ois,
making for the week 893,997 tons against 325,446 tons
anthracite and 46,818 tons bituminous aggregate,
871,264 tons showing an increase of 22,733 tons over
the corresponding week last year. This Is the first
week this year tnat tne snipments exceed those for
the corresponding week last year.
"In the course of a coupie of weeks the shipments
of all kinds will reach a half million tons per weak
when no interruption occurs. Tne whole supply or
anthracite so far this year is 2,457,977 tons, against
6,514,390 for the corresponding period last year,
showing the decrease so far to be 4,056,423
tons. The whole supply of all kinds so
far is 8,230,889 tons agains 6,054,231 tons for
the corresponding week last year, showing a loss of
all kinds so far of 2,823,342 tons. At this time last
year the shipments exceeded those of the former
year 473,057 tons, so that In order to reach the supply
cf last year, of all kinds, we must Increase the ship
ments for the balance of the year 8,396,399 tons.
"We nave no further information as to the status at
Trevorton, or from that portion of the Lehigh region
that had net gone to work, except tnat tne lenger
the men are idle the more determined the operators
have become not to succumb to the demands of tue
W. B. A.
"it la foronr readers to judge who are right or
who are wrong; we gtve the facts as they exist. A
good many of the operators received telegrams to
stop sending coal at the close of May, with a view
of adjusting prices to correspond with the auction
sale at itew iork, wnicu was a snaae lower than
was anticipated. Unless producers are Una coal
will le forced down to the lowest point, while there
is really no necessity whatever to do so.
"The Shamokin Herald of Thursday says: 'About
400 cars per day are sent over the Northern Central
Railroad, on wuicn tne balance ana larger part oi
our sliinments at present is made.'
"The mommy conierence oi miners ana operators
was held at Shamokin on Monday last, but no aver
age price was established, owing to soma error or
informality In the statement of tne Enterprise Coal
Company. The joint committee will meet again on
Satnrday next. June I, for this nurpoBe. Previous
to adjournlDg, a committee, consisting of A. Fulton
and F. J. Anspach, on tne part of the operators,
and John Wright and Mark Moran on the part of
the miners, was appointed and instructed to endea
vor to adjust the ditnculties existing between opera
tors and miners of the Trevorton colliery. We learn
this committee failed In its mission." t

that she waa married to James Scott, deceased,
June 25, 1831. They lived together as husband aad

separated. They had several children, and after their
separation ine nusDana continuea 10 proriuo ior
Mrs. scon ana ine cnuaren, ana ouen assured ner
that he would remember them In his will. About
ten years alter the separation he went to live with
one Julli. to whom he left the bulk of his nrouertv.
amounting to f 260,000, by a will which is claimed by
the plalntltTs to be fraudulent. During the time of

The caae had been adjourned to allow farther
affidavits to be famished on both Bides, and yester
day In all they numbered 117. The defendants pro
duced the amdavlt of the wife of Mr. McLean (the
alleged otnclating minister at the marriage of the
filalntlff and Scott), who deposed that her husband,
mmedlately after her marriage in 1S30, went to
Ohio, aod to her knowledge he did not return until
1833. The defendants claimed tnat McLean was not
a regularly ordained minister of the Gospel, aud
was not therefore authorized to solemnize mar
riages : and to support this the affidavit of Mr. Uat
neld, Secretary of the Old School Presoyterlan
Churcn Nvnoa. was read, mai no minister oy the
name or jucL-ean waa men stationed in Kew York.
The affidavit of Professor K. Ogden Doremus. to
whom the remnant of the old blotted marriage cer
tificate was given to analyze the Ink marks, and If
possible to ascertain u tney were oi recent date, was
read. The Professor says that after a thorongh ex
amination he believes the ink stains to be old, and
the letters to be older.
Mr. William Paine, one of the experts who test!
fled to handwriting In the Taylor will cse, deposed
that after a careful examination of Mr. Scott's writ
log and comparing it, he was satisfied that the Big
nature of Mr. Scott was genaine.
The old dlscolorod family Bible containing a re
cord of the marriage waa produced in Court. The
defendants claim that the memorandum In the Bible
was made with the same Ink, by the tame hand, and
at the name tune of another entry which did not
occur until i6flo a. j . fcuii, to-uay. ,

THE MANDRAKE PILLS
are composed entirely of roots and herbs,
obtained from the great storehouse of
Nature, and their salutary effects will appear
as soon as the medicine is brought to the test
of a fair experiment.
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS do not
prodaoe any nausea or sickness of the sto
mach; but when given for Dyspepsia, it may
be proper to use them in conneotion with
SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC. By this
judicious treatment, the digestive faculties
are speedily restored to their fall rigor, and
the worst oases of indigestion may be eured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ of the body; that to it is as
signed the important daty of Altering the
blood and preparing the bile; that it is sub
jeot to many disorders, and that when it is
diseased, or inactive, the whole body suffers
sympathetically, it is nit surprising that "a
medicine which can restore the healthy
operations of the liver should pro
duce wonderful changes ia the
general health, and effect cures
which may appear to be almost aairaeulous.
Headache of long continuance, severe pains
in the side, breast, and shoalders, aohing of
the limbs, a feeling of general weakness, and
weariness, and other alanaiag and distressing
symptoms, indicative of imperfect or disor
dered aetien of the liiver, are speedily re
moved by the ase of SCHENCK'S MAN
DRAKE PILLS.
Costiveness, piles, bitter or sou e nicta
tions, and that indescribable feeling of op
pression, mental anxiety, languor, lethargy,
and depression of spirits, whieh unfit a man
for the management of business and the
enjoyment of UIo, are relieved by the
use of
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE FILLS.
