A Beautiful Banner.
Saturday next our Philadelphia tinging
societies, numbering twenty-two. and with a
membeYshlp of over seven hundred, will take
their departure for New Tork, at which place
they will participate in the great Ssragerfest
which takes place in that city shortly. Last
evening William J. Horstmann, Esq., presented
to these societies a banner of beautiful design
and manufacture, made at his establishment,
tinder the direction of Mr. C. Mayer, superinten
dent of the flag department. This tasteful piece
of work Is of the most elaborate workmanship,
costing not less than 11000. It is full five feet
high by three broad, mounted upon a staff of
rosewood with gold mouldings. The face
)s made of real silk velvet, and en
closed in a border of black silk
velvet backing ud a profusion of gold leaves.
In the centre is a golden shield, enclosing the
German eagle, and from the shield on the right
hang the American colors in miniature, and on
the left the German flag. These are wrought
into the main material with exquisite skill.
Surmounting this central figure is the coat-of-arms
of the United States, and a little below is
a golden harp, the strings and frame of which
are entwined with leaves of gold.
The back of the banner is of white moire an
tique, relieved by a large wreath composed of
sprigs and leaves of oak Germany's emblema
tic tree. In the centre of this is placed the fol
lowing Inscription:
: NORD OESTlrlCHER. '.
'. 8;rngerbund. :
: Philadelphia, 1871. :
...at..-.
The top of the staff is also surmounted by a
beautiful golden wreath and eagle. The whole
appearance is most beautiful, and reflects much
credit upon the skill of the gentleman who de
signed and the parties who executed it.
TflE MUSICIANS.
- They are Received by the Mayor.
This morning the delegates to the Musical
Convention, which has just closed in Musical
Fund Hall, called npon Mayor Fox at his office
and were introduced by their leader pro tern.,
Mr, John Hitter. The Mayor made the follow
ing brief address:
Gentlemen: 1 am very happy to see you, and to
acknowledge this morntng's call to be not only a
cempliment te me personally, but also In my offi
cial capacity as a token of yonr respect for the city.
I am very glad Indeed to And that Philadelphia,
from its central location, its easy accessibility, aud
the abundance of comforts and enjoyments they have
who honor us with their presence in this connection,
Is being regarded as a pre-eminently suitable locality
for holding ennventions in. This seems to be testi
fied to by the very great increase In the number
being held here of late. It must be a source of
gratification to yourselves, as I am sure it is
to us, that the sessions of the National Musical Con
vention have passed on" so very harmoniously and
without the slightest discord; and I trust the pro
ceedings will result in profit to all who were in
terested in them. To this, as to all other intelligent
communities, the cultivation and promotion or
the science of music, and everything which
spreads and extends a popular love for it, is, as it
should be, a matter of publio advantage next to the
worship of God, in which, indeed, it is brought to
bear an Important part. Its influence, when properly
exerted, is snre to elevate and ennoble; and, there
fore, your convention has not been without the at
tention of our intelligent public.
I congratulate you upon a happy termination of
your labors, and wish each of you wno iive away
from us a safe return to your own people and fami
lies. If It Is perfectly convenient for yon now It will give
me much pleasure to accompany you to Indepen
dence liall, where are stored many objects of pa
triotic association that may interest you.
After hearty hand-shakings, the party visited
Independence Hall, and went through the la
borious effort of mounting the steeple steps.

OFFICE OF TBI BOARD OK TRADE, Pnn.ADEI.rHIA,
June 82. 1871. Editor of Tklkuhaph Dear fclir: I
Iierceive bv your paper of yesterday that you were
ed into a misapprehension of the proceedings of the
Board of Trade on Monday morning as to ( minor
matter) the amount of fee exacted by the Board of
Port Wardens for the privilege of entering a vessel
at their ortic. It was written on the paper banded
to the reporters, in figures, one dollar and fifty cents
tl-6fl), with the dollar mark and the decimal point
rather obscure. Hence the mistake.

SAD FATALITY.
Washington County Farmer Killed at
McDonald (Station,
Mr. Thomas Wilson, an old and respected
farmer of Washington county, was instant'
killed at McDonald station, Pan Handle Kail
road, at four o'clock Monday afternoon. Ue had
driven a load of wood to the station, which he
sold for three or four hundred dollars. In start
ing home with his team, it became necessary for
him to cross the railroad track. The express
train west was rapidly approaching, and had
whistled for the station. An eastern-bound
passenger train stood on the siding above the
station. Just as he attempted to make the
crecsing, some persons shouted to him and
warned him of his danger, but he drove on,
probably supposing that they had reference to
the trail ou the siding. The express was at
this time bidden behlad a sharp curve, which
prevented the engineer of the train from seeing
the team. The train came In sight just as Mr.
Wilson was driving upon the track, and a colli
sion was inevitable. The wagon was broken to
pieces, and Mr. Wilson was kuocked out, falling
uion the cow-catcher, and then upon' the
ground. When picked up he was dead, his
kull having been broken so as to permit a por
tion of the brain to escape. Both horses were
alto killed. The train was stopped as soon as
possible, and the body was taken charge of by
the conductor. Justice Moorhead empanueled
a jury, and after viewing the body adjourned
until Tuesday evening, when several witnesses
were examined, and a verdict rendered la ac
cordance with the facts. The deceased was
sixty-three years of age, add leaves a wife aud
eevtn children, two of whom are married.

A JERSEY rnESOXEKQS.
The Bottom Out of the Morris Canal A
Nut for Naturalists.
The eitlsens of Broadway, Warren county, N.
J., and the residents of the neighboring town
ships, have been greatly excited by a cnrlous
fihenomenon. On Monday morning, about 10
o'clock, as a canal boat from Fhlllipsburg was
passing over the seven-mile level between New
Village and Broadway, the driver of the boat
heard an unusual rumbling noise, like that
of muffled thunder, and looking ahead he saw
In the canal, about a hundred yards bevond, the
water seething and boiling like a whirlpool.
Tbongh stricken with fear, he crossed in safety
the dangerous eddy, but had not gone many
yards when he was startled by an unusual noise,
and, turning, discovered that the bottom of the
canal had given way, and in a short time he was
on dry land. The water In the canal for a dis
tance of a mile and a half had in a wonderfully
short time disappeared in a cavity, of which the
dimensions of the opening were forty by fifty
feet.
Careful investigations were made of the
neighboring streams and the surrounding
country, but no outlet for the water was
discovered.
Above the canal, in a wood, three apertures
were mode, averaging Id diameter twenty by
twenty-five feet. In these holes or cavities
rocks and trees were swallowed up. The tops
of the trees were visible to the eye, while the
trunks were entirely buried in the earth. Fis
sures were made on the surface below the canal,
to the extent of hundreds of yards.
Laborers have been constantly engaged in
filling up the hole in the canal, but as yet have
made no apparent progress. One hundred
bundles of corn stalks, together with the
branches of trees, were thrown into the cavity,
and disappeared Immediately from sight.
The cause of this phenomenon is a mystery
which only an AgasMz can attempt to explain.
Some think that there is a cave in the hill, and
that this immense volume of water has been de
posited there by a breakage in the upper layer
of earth surmounting the cave. Others are of
the opinion that this being a limestone region,
a spontaneous combustion of the lime has been
going on for years, and a vacuum or cavity ne
cessarily produced, Into which these waters
have been precipitated. Which of these opinions
is the correct one will be made manifest by
future developments. The loss of the Morris
Canal Company by this accident is calculated
to be about ten thousand dollars.
A yOOy-DAY BANK ROBBERY.
A Xew York Bank Robbed of $23,000 In
Money and Bonds No Clue to the Rob
ber. From, the Utu-a Observer, 19th.
The Inhabitants of Fulton county have been
in a high state of excitement since Saturday
noon, caused by the robbery of the Gloversville
Bank, at Gloversville, in the early part of Satur
day afternoon, and the killing of Marcus Dye,
in the same village, at 1 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The following are all the particulars of the
robbery which we are allowed to make public at
present: Between 1 and 2 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon a man came Into the Gloversville
Bank and inquired how large a Government
stamp it was necessary to affix to a mortgage for
$1000. The teller replied, "A $1 stamp." The
man thanked blm and stepped back from the
counter to a small desk to make way for other
parties who entered at that time.
After these parties had been waited on. the
man approached the teller's desk and said he
observed that the bank advertised "Northern
Pacific Railroad bonds for sale," and engaged
the teller In conversation about railroad securi
ties, making a special Inquiry in regard to the
value of the Fonda, Johnstown.and Gloversville
Railroad bonds as an investment. The teller
gave him all the information in his power.
After further conversation on various subjects,
the stranger thanked the teller for the Informa
tion received, and left the bank. While the
teller was thus engaged, a second party, who
was, without doubt, the "pal" of the inquisitive
stranger, obtained access to the vault of the
bank and succeeded in abstracting from it avail
able funds to the amount of $15,000, and about
$10,000 worth of North Carolina coupon and
other bonds.
The robbery was not discovered until Hwo or
three hours after it had been committed, when
the alarm was immediately given. An effort
was made to notify the police at Fonda, but the
robbers were sharp enough to cross the tele
graph wires, cutting the Gloverville oflice out
of the circuit. When the officers reached
Fonda, they found that two men, one answering
tbe description of the person who conversed
with the bank-teller, had engaged a horse at a
livery stable to go to Gloversville, had been
gone loDg enough to drive there, and had re
turned the horse to the stable. This is the only
clue yet obtained which we are permitted to
make public at present.
REMARKABLE SURGICAL CASE.
Raised from the Dead to Sue a Railroad
Company for $30,000.
The Baltimore Hun says: In the Court of
Common Pleas a case was commenced in which
Thomas Fitzpatrick, by bis next friend, etc.,
sues the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
for damages, laid at $30,000. The plaintiff Is
a boy, fourteen years of age, who was injured
on the 20th of November, 1870, by the cars of
defendant, who is charged with negligence.
The Injuries received by the boy, and
his escape from death, present a remarkable
case of successful surgery. The boy attempted
to cross South Howard street by an opening in
a train of twenty-five burden cars standing on
the track. Tbe train was put in motion and the
boy was caught between the cars. The result
was that his collar bone was fractured, his
shoulder blade crushed to "a bag of bones," the
upper part of his arm broken, and two or three
ribs crushed. A piece of iron tore open his right
cheek, fractured his jaw and cut off his tongue
by tbe roots, Dr. McKowen, who first saw the
boy, testified that be did not think the boy could
survive but a few nours. Finding him alive
next morning he called on Dr. Allan P. Smith,
who was a skilful surgeon, to try and relieve the
bov's sufferings.
Dr. Smith was In court and testified
that he did not think the boy could live; he was
unable to take food or drink water in conse
quence of his lacerated throat, and was suffer
ing terribly from thirst, and afterwards from
hunger, lie succeeded In keeping him alive by
Injections of beef tea and milk puuch by a pipe
conveyed through tbe nostril to his stomach.
Dr. Smith had preserved the boy's tongue In a
bottle of spirits which was shown to the jury.
Notwithstanding his complicated injuries, and
the fact that the wound had not yet healed, the
boy was in court and testified in his case as f ir
as ne was able with his indistinct speech, lie
can utter sounds with tbe lips, and some guttu
ral and nasal tones, but of course can speak no
words requiring the use of the tongue. The
case is still on trial.

The Secretary of the Interior has received a
letter from Commissioner Brunot, of the Indian
Board, dated Fort Laramie, June 14, in which
he speaks of bis visit to the Ogallalla Slonx,
nnder Red Cloud, whom, with his braves, hear
tily met in council. The object is to induce
the Indians to move to another section.
Some of them think the White River country
the best place, but Red Cloud prefers some point
on the White River. Mr. Brunot does net think
that either the welfare of the Indians or the
permanency of peace would be secured by yield
ing to this demand.
It is Impossible to keep whisky away from
them, and unless its use and tbe presence among
them of lawless men be prevented, no measures
for the civilization of the Indians can be effec
tual. Even on the military reservation of Fort
Laramie, and in spite of the efforts of General
Smith and the agent to prevent the sale of
whisky, the Indians are frequently Intoxicated,
and there is constant danger of affrays which
may culminate in a serious outbreak as the
result.
Special Despatch to the Evening Telegraph.
Washington, June 22.
Bowev'i Pardon
seems to hinge on the political strength of the
Republican factions in the Congressional dis
trict of South Carolina of which Charleston is
the central point. So far the President refuses
to commit himself for either faction. There is
no doubt but that a majority of legal votes cast
In that district at the late election for member
of Congress were cast for Bewen, and that De
Large was seated simply by a count of fraudulent
votes.
Since the commencement of the persecution
against Bowen some half dozen judges of elec
tion in that district have been tried, found
guilty, and sent to the penitentiary. This vir
tually gives Bowen his seat, but his enemies are
making strenuous efforts to prevent the Presi
dent pardoning Bowen, while, on the other
hand, Bowen's friends are exerting themselves
for a pardon, assuring the President that they
represent the strongest part of the Republicans,
and that Bowen is their choice for Congress.

Walter.
An accident of a most extraordinary charac

fatally to a man named Matthew Quinn, an
employe. It appears he was engaged hoisting
goods with the dummy, and, desiring to lower
the machine, pulled the wrong rope and sent it
up instead of down. He was carried with it,
and wedged against the wall. He hung by the
chin between the dummy and a rafter until cut
out by the bands. The woodwork had to be cut
awny in order to effect this. He was almost
strangled, and was removed to the hospital In a
condition that leaves no hope of his recovery.
His head was swelled to twice its natural size.
