Mr Franks A. Stout, of New York, has been requested by tbe department ol state to take charge temporarily, until be leaves for Europe as one of the honorary committee to the Vienna exposition, of 1 h®. lit New York for receiving and forwarding articles for the Mr. Stout is a gentleman who has devot ed much of bis timeand attention to ad vance the objects of the exhibition, al though not a member of the commission, which has been temporarily suspended ; bis services have been of great value and are highly appreciated. It is due to the honorable members of the Commission to Vienna to say, that so far as the evidence has reached the De partment of State, there is nothing to at tach suspicion of any improper con duct to the larger number of the mem hers; A detailed report of the investiga tion is expected shortly, and at the earii est possible moment the suspension of all who shall appear implicated will be ef fected. The committee conducting tbe in vestigations consists of Mr. Jay, United States Minister to Vienna, and Mr. Me Elrath, himself one of the Commissioners suspended. They recommend the tempo rary suspension of the whole commission. It is now believed that many of the per sons appointed, both as commissioners and honorary commissioners, ara unfit for and unworthy of the place, and how they came to be appointed is a mystery. One of those appointed from this district is a patent attorney, and believed to be in tbe employ of certain inventors, while an other is a man of dissipated habits. A fire occurred here on Sunday, destroy ing several valuable houses, in what is known as Micbeler place, F street, west of the War Department. A large propor- tion of the contents of each house was destroyed. Among the sufferers were Don Piatt, Mr. Carpenter* paymaster of the navy, Mr, C. C. Sniffln and Mr. Me Ceney. While the fire was raging Mrs. Carpenter was on the pavement scream ing for her child, which was discovered in a room in the upper mansard story of her dwelling. A young gentleman nam- ed Willhim Digges ran through the ad joining bouse and along the cornice to the burning dwelling, bursted in the win dow, seized the nearly suffocated child, carried it to the root of the next hbuse REPLY TO **OBSBRVER Is Alcoholic iTXeaicatlon Necessary in U»o Treatment of Disease I Alcohol may be, doubtless. if, necessa ry In the preparation of medicines, such as are insoluable in water, |t may he as needful |n pharmacy as are vials, boxes aad-paper in •thedispcns.img pf-medi cine. Tbiadoca not prove that these so necessary in the preparation or dispens ing of medioines should be used as reme dial agents. It cannot be argued that whisky, gin, brandy, beer, ale, &c., are curative agents because alcohol housed as a solvent or preservative. Heat is as necessary in preparing medicines as is alcohol, and is therefore indirectly nec essary in the treatment of disease; but this is no reason why we should admin ister fire to our patients. “Observer” charges me with equivo cating and assuming false positions. I am not aware of having equivocated, and he has not shown my positions to be false. “Observer” asks why I do not answer some of bis arguments? This is the first intimation that I have bad that he has advanced any arguments. I have attempted to answer almost every sen tence he has written, I am sorry that I have overlooked hi a arguments. “Observer” excels in his ability to misconstrue my statements. I said in a previous article that we know from in disputable authority that all ancient wines did not contain alcohol. I did not say that none of them contained alcohol, or that all of them were non alcoholic, as he has assumed. That “Ob server” may clearly understand me I would say that translators and commen tators of the scriptures inform us that the various original words rendered wine, in our English version of the Bible, bore different significations; one signified the fruit of the vine, another the sweet juice of the grape, another the fermented juice, another signified wine in a general sense either intoxicating or harmless. I do not claim to have examined the scriptures in the original language, as “Observer” intimates. That work has been performed by men competent for the task, and I gladly avail myself of the in formation which they are so able to im part. I would recommend “Observer” to apply to the same source, he would not be injured by such information as he might secure from a careful study of “Tem. perance Bible Commentary” of Dr. F. !R. Lees, F. S. A. of England, 43 I do not wish to engage In a scriptural argument on the wine question, I will not attempt to enlighten “Observer’s” mind 00 the texts to wlricb he has referred me, but will cite him to the above named work where he may obtain ail the light on the subject that be may desire. “Observer” says “by all the knowledge be has be cannot see how uufermented wine made Noab and Lot and so many others drunk,” well, who said it did? “Ob server” thinks that bread undergoes the same fermentative process necessary tq production of alcobo). As I always disliked sour bread, I will leave “Obser ver” in bis ferment. However, “Obser ver" ought to know that if bre&d under went alcoholic fermentation it wbhld thereby become Intoxicating and in a corresponding degreenon-nutrilinu*, l7 "Observer” thinks I don't know'much about fermentation, and kindly offers to enlighten me. lam glad he is so willing it is a pity that clever people are gener ally poor. 1 ; ! “Observer” asks ?*whereha9 the nour- Ishment gone* if tbs- grain contained it, and It is act In the alcohol, has it been annihilated by . the process- of fermeoia 4ion ? No, itfaaa not been; annihilated. It has simply lost its. organic forra and returned to its elementary existence’. ■ “Observer” engaged | 0 the discussion of the question, of Alcoholic* medication for the purpose of-emightening the hihid oftbe community—-aaba stated in his first article, I hope he .has succeeded to Ms • entire satisfaction He says in his last reply that he does- not now see that the community will be benefilted by a further discussion of the subject He therefore bids "T, 6,” farewell. As. the public mind has been sufficiently enlight en^*l will have to. say good-by to my unknown opponent. lam sorry that -the rebuke received from the old Scotch clergyman, when “Observer 1 ” was a boy has made- each a lasting impression on hta mind That old jacket must be hanging somewhere about. “Observer’s” house yet, and the occasional sight of it makes “Observer” unduly modest. Since “Observer” his be come a man he should.pul .away childish things and not be so bashful. £ n tbe language, of the old Scotch clergyman “we have all auto" what “Observer” can do, and he should not., bow shrink from notoriety, itjwijfl be useful to. “Observer” in counteracting, excessive modesty. We have traveled the road of temperance pleasantly together as_ : prohibition, bat at alcoholic medication we must part. Good-by “Observer.” WnniNGfOß & READING BAILBOAD.' ** !l 5- ' • • Berks County Railroad all Contract ed for. We are enabled to state that the Wil mington & Reading Railroad Extension first from Birdsborn’ to Reading and thence to the Lehigh River—is advancing rapidly toward successful completion and has, within a few days, made several important steps of progress. The contracts for the graduation ,and masonry of the upper half of county railroad, (referred to above as the extension from Reading to the Lehigh, were arranged last week. This portion is between Leobartsville and Slatington, and is generally light work, which can be rapidly prepared for the track. Financial arrangements between the Wilmington & Reading and the Berks county corporations were also consumma ted, by which the nine miles of road be tween Birdsboro and Reading will be promptly built. Considerable work upon it is done, ahd the iron to put down the track already provided by the W. & R,. but a heavy rock cutting has impeded progress. This will now be promptly finished, and in four months it is expect ed that the trains to and from this city will run direct between Birdsboro. and Reading, over the entension, without us ing as now, the tracks of the Philadel phia & Reading. Another important matter is the sale of all the remaining Second Mortgage Bonds of the Wilmington & Reading Railroad. A considerable amount of these were unsold. The improving prospects of the road have now enabled the Cun pany to place the whole of them on satis factory terms, and enable it to perform all its part of the development and ex tension. The Pennsylvania Legislature has pre sented to the Berks county Railroad the right of way through the City of Read ing, a passage which, as we have from time to time kept the public advised, the Philadelphia & Reading corporation was determined to prevent. The right of way is given through Front street, the same on which the Berks county road proposed to lay Its rails, several months ago, under authority of the Reading City Councils. The passage of the bill by the Legislature, it is expected, will settle the question definitely, and assure to the new road ita way through Reading in spite of the ef forts of the old line to crush it out. tVdlhin a year, it is confidently hoped to have our whole line, of one hundred miles, between Wilmington and the Xe bigh Coal Region, via the great manufac turing district of Reading and vicinity, completed anti ready for operation Wilmington Commercial.
