Philadelphia Letter.
Philadelphia, July 25, 1874
One of tlio greatest monopolies with
whioii our city is cursed, Is tho
STREET IIAILROADS.
which have so completely glrdlroncd our
city Unit there is scarcely a street which
Is not obstructed by them. Originally
constructed ai a convenience for our
citizen?, thoy have, In many eases, pass
ed into the control of a few Individuals,
who are reaping Immense profits irom
mem, nnu acting as ir mo puuiic JilgU
waVs were solely for their use.
Although tho right of way was given
tlu-so companies freo of charge, and
they are able to declare enormous dlvl
dHiuU; tho faro asked by them is higher
tlian Is charged by passenger railways
in any of our large cities, and the poor
woiklngnian and sewing girl, weary
wun meir aays' lauor, aro virtually de
barred from their use, as the faro ask
ed U entirely beyond their slender
means.
Seven cents for a ride In a street car
may seem a small matter to some uf
.your readers, but it Is quite an Item to
tliose who uso tno cars uaiiy. The com
panies consider that every first-class
House crcctea near tneir terminus, is
worth to them from ono to two hundred
dollars per annum, they calculating that
the occupants will spend that amount
during the year In thcircars, while most
persons living any dletanco from their
place of business look upon fifty dollars
n year for car fare as one of their neoes
wiiy expenses. Our citizens aro taxed
to build bridges, which theso grasping
corporations seize upon and use, with
out recompensing tlio city for tho use
or mem,ana now we nave the disgrace
ful scene of a number of companies
quarreling for the possession of the Gir-
nrd Avenue bridge. Tho conductors and
drivers are n hard-worked set of men
being on duty from sixteen to nineteen
hours a day, and are allowed but a few
minutes for meals. It Is statod as a fact,
that' so much are theso employees uway
lrom their homes, working every day in
the week, that In many cases their
young children do not know them.
The companies although reaping large
profits from the thousands who Hock to
the park, do not contribute toward Its
adornment, as Is tho caso In other cities,
but are continually quarreling among
themselves to gain possession of tho
streets which approach tfco park, and
which have not vet been seized upon
The Union Lino declares a dividend
of 41 per cent, per annum on Its pald-lu
capuai; mu uiestnut & walnut street,
111 percent.: the Green &Coates Street,
SO per cent.; and tho other roads, from
l!0 to 80 per cent, per nuiium. Tho
companies, although frequently Jangling
uiiiung themselves, aio a unit m deny
ing any concessions which tho city or
public may ask from them. Their pow
i r doubtless would have been broken
long ago If their Interests were not In
terlocked with tho political faction
which is ruling our city and State,

lias demonstrated the fact, that steam
Miips can run from this port to England
at a profit, and so creat has been their
success, that they coutemplato adding
two aaumonai steamers to tuelr line.
The traveling public has been much
benefitted by the fierce competition
which tho American Line has provok
ed. Steerage passengers can go from
Now York to Liverpool, If the New
York papers can be believed, for the
small sum of ten dollars, and hundreds
uf persons are taking advantage of this
reduction to visit their friends In tho old

TIIE KIDNAPPED CHILD.
Charley Ross, has not yet been found,
and his abductors aro still at large. Our
detcctivo force Is severely censured for
not ascertaining his whereabouts, and
our newspapers are expressing uiem
selvos freely In the matter. Christopher
Wooster, who was arrested ana com
mitted to prison, on suspicion of having
been concerned In the abduction, Is now
tliouclit to bo entirely Innocent of the
charge brought against him, and ho has
been released from prison. MnyorStok-
lev on Wednesday issued a poociama-
Hon, offering a reward of $20,000 for
tho recovery of tlio child, and the arrest
and conviction of his captors. Mayor
Stokley was authorized to offer this re
ward by a number of our private citi
zens, who aro raising a fund to recover
the stolen child. It Is to be hoped that
the large reward offered will stimulate
persons throught tho country to search
for the child, and that ho may bo recov
ered at an early day.

Pittsburgh, July 27. A destructive
flood has occurred at this point.
All the flood gates of tho heavens
were opened last night, and vast volumes
of water wore discharged upon the city.
During Jthe day heavy showers took
place, but they proved- to bo only pre
paratory to tlio deluge which came down
upon us between 8 and 0 o'clock in the
evening.
Tho rain was accompanied with vivid
lightning, nnd for over an hour the
storm was fast and furious. The'water
came down in sheets, which fairly glist
ened as the Hashes of lightning fell up
on them In quick succession.
A fearful loss of lire Is reported from
Allegheny, and a pecuniary loss beyond
that causod by the late destruotivo con-
uagation. At tho union depot the tun
nel of the Pan nandlo Railway was
flooded with some four feet of water.
nnd, of course, became Impassable for
trains, and traffic for the time being on
that road was suspended.
in me Thirty-sxitii ward wcro felt tho
most costly results of the deluge.
l ne tremendous body of water which
swept down the hills into the Saw-mill
run raised that stream with great rapi
dity, and sent It whirling with tremend
ous velocity and power to tho river. A
largo quantity or barrels nnd.iumuer
were carried away and fast plied up
against the new Iron bridge, which did
not long resist tho fury of assault.
Below the brldgo by .which Carson-st.
crosses the river, was swept from Its
abutments. So great was Its lorco that
a largo number of barges, with coal,
were torn from their iastenlnes and
swept down the river.
i-or moro tnan a milo out on Spring
Garden Avenuo, Allegheny City, marks
destruction everywhere. Some houses
are thrown together In heaps, Sorno
twenty-flvo or thirty slaughter houses
on tho avenue were washed away.
Many buildings not totally destroyed
aro seriouslydamaged. The water rM
to the heights of 15 ft., flooded tin fir
floors of all the houses, aud In many
places the second-stories. Several
houses were swept Into the middle of
tno streams,and others were carried
hundred of yards and shattered to
pieces. A house contalLluc two or three
families at the rear of Centro-st., was
uestroyeu, and ic is supposed all the In
mates were drowned. In Temperance-
ville and Saw-mill run the elements
made sad havoc. Fierce torrents swell-
cd every little tributary of Saw-mill
run into tho boiling stream, aud ac
cumulating waters rushed with mad
and irreslstablo fury down the alloy,
sweeping everything in their course.
The loss of llfo exceeds upwards.of
uu men, women nnu cunuren.

IBKGIIANT TAILORINCf.
When In tho courso bf wear and tear
of every day life It becomes necessary
to dissolve our connection with tho suits
that have dono us so much services in
keeping s warm nnd free from expo
sure, there Is one place where we can
find consolation and a friend Indeed In
our distress. Yea, a place where wo
can safely put our trust where there
Is no need of fear that weshallbo cheat
ed, unsuited or unsatisfied whero the
fabric Is strong and the manufacture
superb whero the prices aro iust and
and tho stylo all that can be desired.
Thern Is a charm nlmut an easy, glove
fitting, elastic suit, that Is seen andob
served by all men. "Whero did you
get that superb suit of clothes?" "Whero
did you sceure such a splendid fitting
garment?" is often asked. There are
many tailors, and a number of thorn
aro undoubtly fair samples of tho genus
homo and also a credit to the craft; but
how generally tailors fall In the fitting
of garments to tho human form; how
often a good pteco uf goods Is spoiled In
the fit; how sadly and dejectedly manya
wan wanders about the streets, feel
ing tlio shamo the tailor has caused him,
Id allowing a poor Job to go out of his
shop, and he the wearer of It! Perhaps
his lady lovo has even Jilted him Incon
sequence of his forlorn appearance
" Dross makes tlio man;
Tlio want of It tho fellow.'
Not that a man Is less a man for wear
ing plain clothes, but when hols "dress
ed up" he should Indeed be dressed not
having his cloths hang Hue bags around
lilm, and wrinkled and distored In all
sorts of shapes, but tnat ho bliould be
clad in fitting garments. Taste should
be shown both In the colors and make
up of his suit. Many high priced goods
are at such outlandish colors and styles
that a man's character is judged by his
foolishly selecting those odd goods. A
man Is known by the company he keeps,
and If be Insists upon fraternizing with
Ill-looking and Ill-fitting clothes, ho
will not make his "mark," as a man of
taste, that s positive. To be looked up
on as possessing the requisite attain
ments of a tasty gentleman, he must
select cloths of suitable colors for His
clothing and have them made up in first-
class style by Laury & Peters, (post
offlco building), Lehighton, Pa., who
have a splendid stock to select from, nnd
where you will obtain that symmetry of
