-CITY BULLETIN,
THE DIFFIODLTT AT THE GA.B
WORKS.
Tbo City' In Darknau Last Nlßtit—Tho
End ol tbo Strike-tho itlon at Worn
To-liny.
All efforts to effect on arrangement with the
■workmen at the Philadelphia Gas Works
mado yesterday failed, and the consequence was
~ that the city was without gas last night. In the
District supplied by the Northern Liberties Gis
Works every thing was in proper order, and the
residents had their full share of gas. In
consequence of the darkness tho city
" presented a very gloomy appearanco.
Vaiions methods were resorted to
to obtain light Dealers in various kinds of
lamps did a thriving busjneSS, and thousands of
candles were Bold by thenamerous grocery stores
about the city. Early In the evening many
people could be seen going about the streets,
wcndiDg their way'bofiie with small bundles of
candles. Allßortsof things were brought into
use os candlesticks. Old bottles were of great
service last night The scene on the streets was
novel. Blore windows which were generally
brilliantly illuminated were lighted up by a
couple of “penny dips” stuck in a bottle.
Many of tho places of business which
arc generally kept open until nine and ten o’clock
were closed at dusk. The streets were very dark
and pedeslrianlsm waß unpleasant and danger
ous. Collisions between those who were walk
ing ahont were frequent, but they were all takea
in good part, and joking apologies wore made.
A police man standing on a corner was greeted
with the remark, “Wny don’t you light your
lamps In a store or other place where a sickly
looking candle was burning on the counter, the
inquiry was, “Why don’t you pay your gas bill
and get a decent light ?’’ Tho hotels and res
taurants were very dismal, and strangers
who arrived in the city last night were
greatly astonished. Some thought that they had
made a mistake and stopped In a country vllUgs.
To see such houqps as the Continental, Girard
And American Hotels lighted with tallow candles
wob not calculated to create a very favorable im
pression upon strange guests, and clerks were
kept very busy in explaining the whys and
wherefores of the thing. Some of the lager beer
saloons substituted for the lamps on the outside
Chinese lanterns, which answered the purpose
very well. The billiard saloons also suffered.
At the splendid saloon at the American Hotel a
large number of candles were lighted, but there
was not a sufficient illumination to allow games
to be played. All the other large saloons in
the city were in the same fix, and were closod
early In the evening. All the places of amuse
ment, except tho Chestnut Street Theatre,
were closed. At the Chestnut, the first part of
the performance wiSb gone through with by gas,
at a very low pressure, and this soon flickered
and finally expired. The reflector used in the
Eerformances of the “Black Crook” was brought
ito requisition, and by this means the stage was
tolerably well lit up, while the audience sat in
darkness. Some four or five hundred persons
. assembled in front of the American Theatre, but
the theatre was not opened, as the proprietor
was under tho Impression that there would
be gas enough for last evening, and therefore
liad made no provision to light the house. Some
of the large manufacturing establishments, where
work is generally done at night, were closed, as
no provision could be made for a proper amount
of light. The stoppage of the gas last night not
only was a very serious inconvenience to all of
our citizens, but was tho cause of heavy loses* to
some business men, and threats pf prosecutions
for damages against the trustees are frequently
heard to-aay.
STATEMEHT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER ABOUT THE
STRIKE.
Mr. Thomas B. Brown, the Chief Engineer,
states that he has been on a visit to Providence,
B. 1., on business connected with his duties. On
Wednesday afternoon a committee of the men
called on Mr. Myers, his first assistant engineer,
and presented to him the following paper:
“ Philadelphia, July 15,1808 We, the un
dersigned committee of firemen of the Philadel
phia Gas Works, representing thh firemen, held
a meeting on July 11, and it was unanimously
resolved to ask an increase of 25 per cent, on our
wresent wages. It was resolved that we wait on
too Chief Engineer or assistant and inform him
ofvthe same, and give twelve hours' notice, and if
not complied with la that time it is the will of
the men to quit work.
“ Yours, most respectfully,
“Oliver Hemphill, President.
“ James Cuff, Secretary.”
Mr. Myers, not supposing that this threat would
he carried into execution, and having no autho
rity to comply with the demand, made every
effort, in company with Mr. Parke, the second
assistant, to induce the men to work until Mr.
Brown should return, but in vam. The Chief
Engineer reached Philadelphia yesterday after
noon and immediately had a consultation with
the men, in the coarse of which he appealed
te them to remember .. that the city
would be left in darkness, and that
great and severe censure would
be visited upon the Trust and upon themselves,
that he had always treated them kindly, and that
if they would go to work, he would pledge him;
sell to report their case to the trustees as soon as
a quorum could be obtained, there being then
but four of the twelve in the city. By authority
of the trustees then in Philadelphia, he proposed
that their wagea should be raised from $2 15 to
$2 40 for the stokers, and from $2 05 to $2 30
for the helpers at the Market street and
Spring Garden Works, and from $2 25 to 82 50
for stokers, and from 82 16 to 82 40 for helpers
at Point Breeze. He stated that their demand
would add to the expenses of the Trust at least
$BO,OOO per annum, and would of courao compel
heavier charges to the consumers. Many of the
men afterwards admitted that the advance offered
was fair; but on a vote put to those present it
was decided to decline it, and so the consultation
closed, the men adjourning to meet at nine o’clock
this morning.
THE DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
This morning the men assembled about the
works ready lo go to work if the Trustees agreed
to grant the advance in wages asked lor. They
were all orderly and well behaved. In the mean
time the Trustees who are in the city had a cou
sultation. As the men were unwilling to make
any compromise, but insisted on the price origi
nally demanded, it was thought best to comply
with the wißheE of the men. This
decision was announced to them, and was
received with cheers. A committee immediately
thanked the Trustees for granting the increase
solicited and the men all expressed their willing
ness to go to work at once. They quietly resumed
their old places, and as none of the fires had
gone out the operations at the works were going
on as usual u little after ten o'clock. Therefore
we shall have light to-night, although the supply
may be a little short, owing to the laic hoar at
which work was commenced this morning.
The following card from the chief engineer an
nounces the settlement of the difficulty with the
workmen:
“Office Philadelphia Gas Wokkb, No. 20
S. Seventh St., July 18, 1808. —To the Public —
Being nnable to make any compromise with the
men demanding an increase of wages, and fear
ing the evil consequences likely to ensue if the
city should be in darkness for any considerable
length of time, the Trust have concluded to ac
cede to their demand. Consumers will please
use the gas this evening as economically as they
can,.and I have no doubt thal within 48 hours we
shall have-a sufficient quantity to meet all the
demands. Thomas B. Buown,
. “Engineer.”
An iMrosToit.— Some thieves have taken ad
vantage of the strike at the Gas Works to carry
on their operations by calling at houses and
representing that they have been sent to examine
meters, fixtures, &<c. A man was arrested this
morning, at Belgrade and Marlborough streets,
ior making 6uch representations at a hoase. He
was locked up for a hearing at the Central Sta
tion this afternoon.
'ttempXeo B*fe Blow ran. —The establlsh
, of Robt. Ransley, gold beater, Np. tilO
-eet, was entered last night from the rear,
drilled in the fire-proof safe and was
■inpowder. The explosion was un
being open the safe. The robbers

Cricket— Philadelphia vs. Canada. A
Philadelphia cricket eleven started for Canada
thls mornlng, to- play- a. series of matches with
crack-clubs of the Dominion. It is composed of
Messrs. Charles Cadwalader, John W. Hoffman,
Harvey Markoc, James P.jSlms and Win. W.
White, of the Germantown Club, B.. Loper Baird,
John Large, Charles Newhall and Daniel New
hall, of the Young America Clnb, and Joseph
Hopkinson and Horace Maget, of the Phila
delphia Clnb.
The eleven play matches with the best elevens
in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec, and with the
military eleven which played two matchos in
New York daring this week. Tboy also play a
match in Boston, and one at Long Branch with
the St. Georgo Club of New York. They will be
away about two weeks, and will undoubtedly do
credit to our city by their playlug.
The Canadian elevens have been selected with
great care and are said to bo unusually Btrong.
Quite a number of cricketing friends accompanied
the eleven. The Newhails join tho party at Mon
treal, and this is very mncli to be regretted, as
the Toronto Clnb, which they play belore reach
ing Montreal, is one of the best in Canada, and
their übsenco will bo felt- In view of the ap
proaching matches with the All-England eleven,
‘which visits this country in the fall, this series of
international matches will be regarded with deep
Interest.
Heavy Boiiiieiiy. —A lot of silver ware, cloth
ing and jewelry, amounting in value to nearly
$3,000, was stolen last night from the resldesco
of Mr. James Belsky, No. 1111 Mt. Vernon street.
Tho robbery was discovered this morning, and la
supposed to have been committed by a servant,
who has disappeared.
A Striker in Trouble. —George Fulton, one
of the Gas Works strikers, was arrested yesterday
at Twenty-third and Market streets, for creating
a disturbance and assaulting one of the foremen
at the Works. He was taken before Alderman
Jones and was held in $6OO bail.
Dogs Captured. —During the past week 195
unmuzzled dogs were taken up in the city. Of
that number 165 were killed.
Summer Travel.— The science of travel in
thiq country is being veiy rapidly developed, and
the summer tourist now has facilities offered to
him such as he never dreamed of a few years
ago. The Catawissa Railroad Company has just
issued its programme of excursions to Niagara
Falls, Canada, Saratoga, and the White Moun
tains, comprising in ail no less than fifty routes,
all good until November l6t, and allowing trav
elers to lay over at Intermediate points as long as
they choose. Full particulars of tho different
routes, with descriptive guide-books, may be ob
tained at the Company’s office, No. 625 Chestnut
street.
For Cape Island via West Jersey Rail
road.—An express tra)u will leave Philadelphia
tiiiß afternoon at 4 o clock, running through
without stopping, duo at Cape Island at 6.55.
making the whole distance in less than three
hours;, or from Camden in two hours and three

THU COURTS.
Quarter Sessions— Judge Peirco.—John Win
ters, convicted of a charge of obtaining goods
upon fraudulent orders, was called for sentence.
Judge Peirce called attention to tho fact that the
accused had been before the court on a similar
charge, and had been sentenced to 9 months. His
operations bad been so successful that he had
succeeded in obtaining a large amoant of pro
perty, and he was a dangerous man to be at large.
Sentenced to five years in the Eastern Peniten
tiary.
William Finnegan, a marine, convicted of a
charge of robbery, waß sentenced to one year In
the Eastern Penitentiary.
Philip Madden, convicted of a charge of assault
&Dd batter;, with intent to kill Gilbert Ball, was
called for sentence. It will be remembered that
Madden figured in the recent contested election
case as the judge in the Eighth division of the
Fourth Ward, where he sat the whole day upon
the Assessors’ book. The offence of which he
was convicted was shooting a negro boy in
"sport.” Ball identified him as the man. This
morning he called witnesses to prove an alibi.
Sentence was postponed.
CITY NOTICES.
Tue Gas Question —The absence of gas will
not be permitted to interfere with the manufacture
and sale of elegant confections by the famous firm of

Messrs. E. G. Whitman & Co. use neat boxes that

Messrs. Peterson & Little, agents of the
Wheeler & Wilson Hewing Machine Company, having
distolved partnership, Mr. Robert E. Peterson, Jr.,

Panic-Struck. Beauty.
It is a terrible shock ito a charming woman—indeed,
to any woman—to find that her teeth are ‘ beginning
to go.” Never will any human being who uses the
iragrant Sozodont, make that discovery.
“Spalding's Glue,” no well regulated family
will be without it.
No Gas! More Light Wanted.—The labor
ing men at Point Bn eze, whose business it Is lo en
lignten the city, by keeping up the supply of gas at
the works, are on a "sun-stroke” for more wages, and
the stroke came very near to being fatal last night to
the city lamps. If the company will not accede to the
demand for increased wages, let them present to each
one of the employes a cool summer suit of
clothing from Charles Stokes & Co.'b, under the Con
tinental. Anything to pacify the men of gas, and
keep gross darkness Uom covering the city.
