CITY BIILLETIR:
The Philadelphia Gas Wierks.‘
The Committee of Select Council ap
pointed to examine into the' affairs of the
Philadelphia Gas Works, held an adjourned
meeting last evening, Cola Page presiding.
Col. Page stated that he had received no an
,tewer from the Trustees to the communica
•.tion of the 30th of May.
Mr. John Roberts, Foreman of the First
'Ward Works was present, and testified as
follows: Have been foreman about six years;
at the present time we have from 325 to 350
men employed at the Point Breeze
Works; the "stokers" are required to
• be skilled; the result of employing unskilled
labor would be to injure the materials
and work; in order to make
,good coke
it is necessary for the coal to be fully car
bonized ; _ since January, 1865, we have
lied;the requisite amount of skilled "labor;"'
early in 1865 we discharged with one or two
exeeptions, all who were not of the same po
litical party as the majority of the Trustees;
this was done at the order of the Engineer..
The places were filled by taking "helpers,"
•
.and making them "stokers," and employing
new hands as "helpers;" this did not require,
tie to pay men to instruct the "helpers." the
_"helpers" receive $2 15 per day; , the "sto
kers" receive $2 25 per day; never heard of
a man receiving pay for services net fen
tiered, except' when he has been injured at
the works; from 4.1 to 4 cubic feet is the av
erage for a pound bf coal; there can he a leak
age of gas after it is put into, the holder; gas
"may leak at the retort or in' the pump; we
had but one "blow" of gas in 1866, and lost
about 60,000 cubic feet of gas; it was con
aidered to be the result of carelessness and
Altman was discharged; it' was one of the
eld hands; in 1864 the men at the works in
the First Ward stood two-third Democrats.
and one-third Rephbliaan, in 1864 Mr. Mc-
CreadY efficient foreman, wasdis
charged by Mr. Stewart, their Engineer, as
be alleged, for political cause; Mr. Stewart
was a Democrat and Mr. McCready a Re
-publican. the break in the - holder occurred
an 1864. I . don't know of a return of a less
;amount of coal 'than ;that actually Con
_Armed in order to cover up the. deficiencies
in the yield; such a thing could.have been
;done without my knowledge; the aver
age, consumption of coal per day is
now ;
about gone hundred tons; in
the winter: we use more; the exact heat
_required in the manufacture of gas:is ascer
tained through practice; that is the reason
why skilled labor is required; iron retorts
will last, on an average, seven months; we
bave had some that gave out in eleven days;
the worst retorts we had were received in
1864 and 1865; Stilleman it- Ellis furnished
retorts in May, 1865, and they suffered the
loss; I saw the Cameron coal; tested it, and
its average yield was about 4.17; in combi
nation with other coal the yield was 4.60;
the greatest yieldwith Cameron coal alone
alone was 4.38 ; the highest of Penn and
Westmoreland, on section- work is 5 ; the
average last month was 4.33, with a
portion of Cameron coal used; would
-prefer the Penn and Westmoreland to the
Cameron; have had something less than
1,000 tons of the Cameron coal; so far as
the works are concerned. I thi k they are
as well managed as ever before; I mean the
Point Breeze Works; I cannot explain how
it is that there was a loss, bat getting all
-our bad retorts in 1865 it shows a bad exhi
bit; in 1862 the average yield was 4.39, while
in 1865 it was 4.08 to the pound; I put thiti
entirely upon the defective retorts; unskilled
labor and want of management had nothing
to do with it; the men now employed are
men of experience, some of them have been
engaged over six years.
At the close of Mr. Roberts' examination,
a sub-committee of two was appointed to
examine the books.
The Committee adjourned until Friday
evening next.
- The Reception of the State Flags.
After the close of our report of the pro
ceedings of the General Committee on Re
ception of the State Flags yesterday, the
Committee on Invitation reported that in
vitations be extended to the following bodies:
1. Survivors of the war with Mexico.
2. The officers of the Christian and Sani
tary Commissions.
3. Officers of railroads, which have fur
nished free transportation for the Color
Guards.
4. The Weccacoe Legion.
A resolution was' offered by Col. Ellma
lier, and adopted, stating that the resolution
adopted at a previous meeting in regard to
ciEcers and men appearing in uniform was
of designed to be compalsotT, but intended
as a request to appear in uniform as far as
practicable.
• The Chairman made a motion which was
agreed to, that the committee telegraph to
General Negley, directing him is forward
• immediately to General Jordan,..at Harris
. burg .the tickets of transportation now in his
possession, and that Colonel Harrison and
tgeneral Jordan be constituted a committee
- to meet atHarrisburg in regard to their dis
tribution.

proceed to Harrisburg to receive the flags
and escort them .to Philadelphia on the
13d - ofJuly was agreed to.

lin and Col. Henderson.

gramme were directed to be printed for the
use of the general committee.

Rowse on the evening of the 2d of July.
"Rxrset.wierioN OF .A ROBBEERL—Recorder
Xtten had before him, yesterday afternoon,
Charles Roehl, hoop-skirt manufacturer, at
Xfo. 548 North Second street, who was
charged with fraudulently secreting his
..Twoperty r with intent to cheat-and defraud
Moen & Co. out, of V.,700, and also by the
" - Arm of Osborn 46 Cheeseman, of New York,
*with defrauding them out of $2,391 53. It
was in evidence that goods purchased by
- defendant of the plaintiffs were sold by him
at much less than he paid-for, them.,
•Anteil Hundermark,employed by . Mr.
Roehl as a porter, testied that on Monday,
'June 4th, Roehl gave him a bogus package
containing papers of no value, telling , him
to put it in his pocket. Roehl then called
down some girls, and their presence
counted out the sum stated, 85,765, saying to
witness '`Take this to. bank and get me
checks on New York for it," calling atten
tion of the girls to the- fact. After they had
• left the room he placed the . money in his
pocket and gave the bogus package to wit
.. nese, who threw it into the Delaware. Wit
, MESS then went back to the store, and in the
presence of the girls said he had had his
Pocket Picked. Hundermark, at ,the 'sug
gestion of Roehl, left information at the
•Mayor's office, that,he had been robbed of
the money. After this Roehl took witness
before a magistrate, :where he made an air].
• davit to the effect that his .pocket had been
actually picked. The defendant said he had
done so, but notwithstanding, he intended
to pay his creditors. The case was contin
• - .bed until Friday next, at three o'clock, the
defendant having been committed in de
fault of $5,000 bail. ;

NEW
.
TABLISHMENT, The westward march of
improvement still progresses; banks, news
paper offices and business establishments
generally are being moved up Chestnutand
other streets every day. One of the latest
improvements of this character is, the new
establishment of the well known jeweler,
Mr. J. T. Gallagher, formerly of Bailey &
Co.,at the corner of Chestnut and Thirteenth
streets. We stepped into this beautiful store
yesterday afternoon, and were most grati
fied with an examination of the'- exquisite
stock of jewelry, silver ware,&c., displayed.
Among other articles we noticed a clock,
just received from Paris, of absolutely ppr
feet make, and with a_very peculiar and .uri;.
teresting escapement. 4 We also saw a
Seyres:ohinatable,a relic of the Frenchrevo-
Intion of the last century.. Its top contains
accurate portraits of the royal family gov
erning Prance at that era, and, both from its
beauty and historical interest, is of great
value. Mr. Gallagher is prepared to :attend
to watch-making and repairing, &a, and
will always keep on.band a splendid stock
of the choicest and most fashionable jewelry,
silver ware, watches, &c.
MOUNTAIN Homan, CRESSON SPRINOS.P.A.
—Now that our city residents are about se
lecting a place to spend the summer months'
we would direct their . attention to that de-•
lightful spot • on the top of the Allegheny,
mountains, known as Cresson Springs. Its
elevation,its cold spring and mineral waters,
its mountain scenery,and above all, its pure
air, render it one of the most desirable sum
mer resorts in the country. The house is
kept now, and has been for several years
'past, by that experienced and gentlemanly
landlord, Mr. GeorgseW. Mullin, whose at
tention to the comfort of his guests is a mat
ter of comment among all who have ever
spent a summer at Cresson. We learn that
many improvements have been made in the
place since last season, thus adding to its
attractions. It can be reached by all the
through trains on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, thus rendering it easy of access. Per
sons desiring to procure accommodations
at the Mountain Rimse should address the
proprietor at Cresson Springs, Cambria
county, Penni.
SWINDLING BOARDING HOUSE KEEPERS.

ternoon,Lafayette Meyers was charged with

their board promptly,hut had not done so.
Mrs, Catharine English, with whom they
hoarded for six weeks, testified that Mrs.
Meyers had represented her husband to be
a private secretary in the War Office, but
afterwards said that he was selling cigars in
Philadelphia. The case was continued for
a further hearing.
