The report of the purchase of the Tide
Water pipe line by the Standard oil com.
pany turns out te be false, as we supposed
it would be. It is authoritatively de.
nied by the officers of the Tide Water
cemnanv. The Philadelphia Press.
which originated the statement, still in
sists that it has some substantial feunda.
tien, and that if the two companies are
net consolidated in fact they at least
have made an agreement as te the rates
they shall charge and amount of
oil that each shall carry. That even
this much of an agreement has been
reached is denied; but if it is true
it is a very different thing from giving
the Standard the control of the Tide
Water line, and a monopoly of the oil
carriage. It may be assumed with abso
lute certainty that this will never be
done se long as the control of the major
ity of the Tide Water stock is in Mr.
Gewen's hands, as it is said new te be.
He is entirely tee shrewd te give up the
c Dntrel te another party of the carriage of
se important a product as petroleum. In
fact, if it was a much less important ar
ticle of traffic it would be quite contrary
te Mr. Gewen's nature te give anyone
the opportunity te dictate te him the
terms en which his railroad should han
dle it. In this case geed commercial
policy bids Mr. Gewen te keep the
Standard company under his thumb,
just where he naturally inclines te keep
things. And these who deal in oil may
be satisfied that the oil carriage is
much mere likely te go te Gewen than
Rockafellew. Mr. Gewen does netdis
incline te a monopoly when he runs it,
and if Rockafellew inclines te take a
lieutenancy under him, a monopoly in
the oil business may be possible ; but as
the methods of the two men are radi
cally different they could net run te
gether any mere than oil and water ; a
naturally honest man in control of a
monopoly would manage it in a decent
way that would be incomprehensible te
a natural thief.
The Harrisburg Deadlock.
In the Heuse yesterday at Harrisburg
the Republicans rejected one mere par
liamentary and constitutional expedient
which the Democrats bad resorted te in
order te get an honest, just and true ap
portionment and te have the Legislature
obey the fundamental law of the land.
The Democrats had proposed that there
should be a committee of three from
each side of the Heuse te draft a bill
expressive of its sense of a proper sena'
terial apportionment of the state. The
Republicans could net well reject this
eminently fair measure, and at first
were inclined te accept it, especially as
it was conceded that they might pick
out their own members of the commit
tee. But State Chairman Cooper,
who saw that by this means an ap
portiemnent might be facilitated,
and who is exerting all his energies te
obstruct any change of the present vil
liiueus gerrymander.bulldezed his parly
in the Heuse into a rejection of this fair
offer, and that conclusion of the Repub
lican caucus was communicated te tl.e
Heuse yesterday ; whereupon the Deni-;
crats passed the preposition, neverth3
les3, and Speaker Faunce appointed
Jamisen, Amerman and Eckles, Deme
crats, and Colberu, Sterrett and A. II
Morgan, Republicans. He said he had a
Stalwart, an Independent and a lie
former te represent all the Republican
interests. Of these members neither Mor
gan nor Sterrett lias been at Harrisburg
for some time ; the committee cannot be
get together for several days, and
from the opposition shown by the
Republicans, first te the cemtnir
tee's appointment and then te the
organization of it, it is net likely
that any result reached by it will be ac
ceptable te the Republicans in the
Heuse, or that, if even passed by the
Heuse, it will be approved by the Sen
ate ; and this last offer by the Deme
crats, rejected by the opposition, will
bring the Legislature no nearer au ap
portiemnent than it wa3 before.
What ether offers and concessions the
Democrats in the Heuse may have in re
serve we have no means of knowing.
AH that they have thus far made hae
been peremptorily and unqualifiedly re
jected. It is certaiu that they cannot
consistently and without a surrender of
of their constituents' rights go any
further in this direction. Iu this view
of the case the Philadelphia Chronicle
Herald, the only Democratic daily, in
that city, thus presents the issue. lis
opinion coincides with that of the
Wilkesbarre Union Leader and ether
leading Democratic journals of the state:
It would be wrong for the Democrats te
make any further concession then the have
already done, when their opponents per
sistently and emphatically refuse te make
any.
This briags about a genuine case of dead
lock. The Democrats should net give in ;
the Republicans will net give in. There is
no prospect that they will de se. They
have obstinately put forth their ultimatum.
They have determined te stick te it. They
wish te prevent any apportionment if they
cannot have their own. Their position if,
therefore, pnrely a negative one. They
nave only te sic in tneir seats and listen te
and reject Democratic prepositions as fast
-as they are made.
If we could perceive a likelihood that
.the Democrats might seen be able, in the
face of this disadvantage, te accomplish
their purpose, we should insist upon their
remaining at their pests. But it is diffi
cult te see what they can gain by indefi
nitely protracting a deadlock where the
chances that their antagonists will suc
cumb seem te us te be overwhelmingly
against them. It this condition of things
could be allowed te go en at no expense
te the state, there wenld then be no parti
cular reason why the legisters should net
remain at the capitol for the rest of their
terms in trying te weary one another into
unanimous action. But all the time the
deadlock is going en an enormous waste of
money is entailed en the people, and the
people are inclined te be very practical in
asking " What return de we get for it all?"
The Democrats have complied with tbe
constitution in doing their best te bring
about an apportionment ; they have made
reasonable demands for representation ;
they have been willing te make concess
ions en their demands ; they have sub
reitted te their opponents three or four
bills of apportionment; they have re
mained in session for mere than two
months ; they have done every thing but
make an ignoble surrender of their rights ;
what mere can they de? On the ether
hand, a small, compact, well-organized
group of men have proclaimed their unal
terable purpose te wow be apportionment
except one which they themselves have
framed en the most vicious principles
of a gerrymander. The Democratic party
is te close the wraugle at onee and point
out the facts of the case te the people.
They can show that the ultimatum of the
Republican senate u the stone wall which
they can neither overthrew nor climb ever,
and that is has been erected solely for the
selfish ends of partisans. We cannot see
that there is anything in their record
during the extra session which they have
reason te feel ashamed of. or which they
cannot successfully defend in the sight of
imperial men. Therefore, it is that, in
adTising the Democratic members te carry
through a motion for adjournment, we
approve the cause which the; have adopted,
while dissenting from the policy which is
new pursued te enforce it.
TnE Heuse of Representatives is
brought face te face with the fact that
though a horse may be taken te water
be cannot be made te drink. The Sen
ate can be held by the Heuse in session
indefinitely, 'but it cannot be made te
pass apportionment bills. It can demon
strate its stubbornness and make it clear
that it does net respect the mandates of
the constitution. When it has done this
it had better be turned loose. There us
no way te punish it except by withheld,
ing its pay, until its members get home
te be tried by their constituents. After
the election they may be mere amenable
te reason. Why net take a recess till
January, te hear what the people have
te say about apportionment at theelec
tien V The governor will hadly feel in
clined te approve an appropriation of
salary te men who have refused te de
their constitutional duty, until at least
the people have had an opportunity te
say that they were right in refusing te
de se. Then let us have a recess. Or
let there be an adjournment with the
understanding that the governor will
call an extra session in January.
In case the two Houses de net agree as
te a recess or adjournment, it is in the
power of the governor te adjourn them
for a period net exceeding four months.
This would carry the session ever until
December and would meet the idea of

Fek pure mule defying, india rubber
cheek Mr. Frank Hatten, of the posteffico

with which he ou all occasieus prefers his

surpasses belief. He has promoted a

Then he advanced lm barber, who can't

snaftlng.
On the Philadelphia and West Chester
railroad, train .Ne. 20 is a regular passen
ger train leaving Philadelphia at 2:20 p.
m., and is due at Angera station at 2:34.
As it turned the curve about about 300
yards east of Angera, yesterday, the engi
neer, Isaac Wilkin&en, noticed the red
signal indicating danger or obstruction of
the way. He immediately reversed his
lever, put en the air brakes and opened
the sand lever. Owing te seme defects in
the air brakes he was unable te step his
train, which slid alone the declining road
way, although slowly. Before, however,
it could be fully stepped it had reached the
switch, which forms the conjunction be
tween the double tracks from Bread street
te that point, and the single track thence
te West Chester. Here the passenger train
met the extra passenger train, Ne. 221,
from Oxford, The engineer of the latter
train, Gee. Smith, was endeavoring te pass
from the single track, ever a Wharten
safety switch, te the cast bound double
track. It is said the market train was
running at the rate of about 10 miles per
hour at the time of passing ever
the switch. The bumpers of both engines
struck, the cab of the market engine was
tern off, and the tender and first freight
car were overturned. The engines of
both trains remained en the- track. The
market engine tore away the steam-chest
and eylinder of the passenger, and the es
caping steam poured directly into he first
freight car, which was leaded with
sheep and calves, scalding them te death.
Beth engineers steed boldly at their pests
grasping the levers. Fireman Welsh, of
the market train, jumped off, but was
caught by the ever turning tender and
crushed te death. Conductor Cox, of the
market train, also jumped, and though es
caping death, was seriously injured about
the legs. None of the passengers were
injurned.
Whirled Around by Her Tresses.
Miss Duly Stormer, a young woman

ed up, and her apron was caught. She
suceeded in pulling it loose, but in the
effort her hair, which is very long, and
wound in a single plait down her back, was
caught by the rapid revolving shaft. In
an instant she was whirled around the
shaft with terrible vieleuce, and before
the machinery could he steppod and the
unfortunate girl extricated she had re
ceived fatal injuries. Her hair was partly
tern from her head, and her body and
head terribly bruised. She also received
injuries te her spine and has since been
lying in a paralyzed condition. She is
about twenty years of age, of great per
sonal beauty and of a highly respected
family. She had been employed iu the

SPECIAL MEETING.
COUNCILS SESSION LAST KVKNINO.
The City Councils Meet te Act Upen the
Fropeaea Ueepenincef a Sewer
The FeUtlen Uranted.
A special meeting of councils was held
last evening in the council chamber.
At 7:30 common council was called te
order by President Hurst, with the fol
lowing members present :
Messrs. Adams, Albright, Bare, Bolen Belen
ius, Cermcny, Demutb, Dinkelberg. Eber
man. Everts, Fritsch, Henry, fluber,
McKillips, Powell, Riddle, Schum, Skeen,
Stermfeltz and Hurst, president.
The ebject of the meeting, as stated by
Przsident Hurst, was that seme action
might be taken in regard te the depth of
the sewer new being constructed en Church
Rockland and Vine streets.
Dr. Belenius presented the petition of
Caspar Kebler, in which it was asked that
the street committee be directed te have the
sewer en Rockland and Church streets, in
front of his property, madelG feet deep, se
as te carry off the waste and foul water
from his cellar, provided, however, that he
shall pay all the expense incurred by the
same, ever aud above the present contract
price, and that the work shall be done
under the supervision of the civil engineer
of the city.
Mr. Riddle thought that property own
ers iu the vicinity would objeet te the in
crease of the cost of entering the sewer if
it was made deeper, and he offered an
amendment that the additional expense the
subscribers te the sewer shall be put
shall be paid by Mr. Kehler.
A desultory discussion then ensued, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Evarts,Dinkleberg,
Belcnius and Powers. D. P. Resenmiller,
esq., counsel for Mr. Kehler, said he was
authorized te say that Mr. Kehler would
pay all the additional expanse, which sub
scribers te the sewer would be put te by
reasen of its alteration.
The request of the petitioner, as offered
by Dr. Bolenius, was granted by an almost
unanimous vote. Select council con
curred. Adjourned.
Select Council.
Present Messrs. Baker, Brown, Bald
win, DUIer, Evans, Wise, Zecher aud
Bergcr, president.
The presidant stated the ebject of the
meeting.
When the resolution from common couu ceuu
cil, authorizing the doepening of the
sewer, was received from common council
a remenstrance of citizens was read against
the proposed deepening en the ground
that it would seriously affect their busi
ness by blocking up the strcets for an un
necessarily long time, and the blasting of
rock would greatly damage their property.
D. P. Resenmiller, esq., counsel for Mr.
Kehler, was given permission te address
the council. He argued that the building
of the sewer at a depth of only eight feet
en Church street wenld net answer the
purpose for which it was being constructed
the abating of the nuisance of surface
water and the draining of cellars and
vaults. Ne harm could possibly he
dene by deepening it, and Mr.
Kehler was willing te pay for the
additional oxpense of building it, and
the additional expense that property hold
ers would be put te in making connection
with it. Mr. Kehler was ene of the heaviest
taxpayers in that section of the city and
was entitled te seme consideration ou that
accennt. In a sanitary point of view also
it is very desirable that the sewer be deep
encd, se as te carry off the stagnant and
unwholesome water from the vaults,
which new has te he pumped te the sur
face, and inn off in the gutters, where it
freezes in winter, and is liable te cause
disease in summer.
Mr. Evans opposed the resolution at
some length, for the reasons stated in the
remonstrance He argued that an eight
feet sewer would answer every purpose
except the draining of Mr. Kehler's vaults,
and that it would be unfair te blockade
the streets and injure the business of the
neighborhood for two or three months
merely for Mr. Kehler's accomedation,
who could diain his vaults without pump,
ing the water te the surface, by pumping
it into the sewer eight (cet under ground.
Besides, Mr. Evans feared that the pro
posed change of depth would invalidate
the contract for building the sewer, aud
would rolieve these citizens who had sub -scribed
meucy for its construction, from
the payment of the same.
Messers Baker, Wi3e, Dillcr and Brown,
spoke in favor of deepening the sewer. Mr.
Evans offered au amendment te the effect
that Mr. Kehler be made te pay the sub
scriptiens of all property holders, w he refuse
te'pay en asceunt of deeping thoscwar.The
lcsolutien was rejected. Messrs. Baker,
Evans and Zecher voted for it aud Messrs
Brown, Dillcr, Wie and Bergor against
it.
On motion of Mr. Wise, the actieu of
select council was concurred in, without a
division.

Sketcaea of Lancaster County AtollUenlstj.
The war of the rebellion is ever and the
passions it has engendered are mere mem
ories in the minds of the present genera
tion. Yet few would wish te forget the
history of the dread ceuflict, and the
heritage of brave deads with which it has
enriched the nation, gloomy though it be,
will ever be cherished. It is for this rea
son that any contribution throwing light
en particular features of the "late un
pleasantness" is hailed with special favor
by these who delight in studying the
sources of history.
Such a work is the " History of "the Un
derground Railroad," a neatly bound
octave volume, of 395 pages, which deals
with the means taken by bold spirits in
Chester, Lancaster and adjoining counties
for helping fugitive slaves te a haven of
safety. In these pre slavery days when
the negre was a chattel of no small menied
value, it was a perilous task te assist him
te his freedom. The fearless philanthro
pists who organized and operated the
" Underground Railroad," were nearly all
et Quaker ancestry, and what they accom
plished required net the intervention of
the sword. This system of helping slaves
te their liberty was termed an Under
ground Railroad," because of the sudden
disappearance of slaves ea reaching given
points in the route occupied by the homes
of the benevolent abolitionists. Rapidly
wero the fugitives passed from hand te
hand, and often was the cunning of the
Quaker called into exercise te make fruit
less the quest of the pursuing slave slave
owners. The book possesses a deep local interest
from the fact that the lower poitien of
Lancaster county, lying just across the
Maryland border, contained ene of the
main thoroughfares ever which hundreds
of slaves hastened te their friendlier North.
The routes lay through Adams, Yerk, Lan
caster, Chester, Montgomery, Berks ami
Bucks counties te Pbemixville, Norris
town, Quakcrtewn, Reading, Philadelphia
and ether places. The work is illustrated
by twenty eight engravings of the promi
nent actors ie the anti slavery drama, and
the sketches of their lives in relatieu
te the thrilling work of the "Underground
Railroad" form the bulk of the volume.
The book displays careful historical re
search, and the materials of its composi
tion are bleuded together with rare geed
taste. Manyoftheso who figure in the
work still live te see their best hopes real
izsd in the total abolition of slavery aud
the increased respect shown for the ence
friendless negre. Among the many fain i 1
iar names of theso who were ready te
sacrifice their all in devotion te a principle
are theso of the Gibbens family, the
Whitsens and the Heeds. The portraits
of Dr. Jes. Gibbens, Themas Whitson,
Lindley Ceatcs, Caleb C. Heed, are in
cluded iu the work, with biographical
sketches of them and roference te such
well known citizens of the lower end as
Jacob Bushong, the Briutens and Bros Bres
iuses. Jacksen, Lewises and ethers. A
hiBtoryefthe " Christiaua riot" is ene of
the features of the book.
The original author of the history, Dr.
Rebert C. Smedley, died in the early part
of the present year hefer3 finishing his
task, and the labor of its completion was
taken up by Rebert Purvis and Marianna
Gibben?, by the special request of the
author. It is needless te say that they
have performed that duty acceptably. Fer
these who desire te attain an accurate
knowledge of the anti-slavery agitatieu iu
this section of the state, the book may be
commended in the highest terms as ene
that will repay careful perusal. It is for
sale at Ne. 16 North Prince street at the
retail price of $1.50.
