crews of the ship Hibernia and the
ship Cnthbcrt, both-front'Quebec, the former

the former having started for Liverpool, tho
latter for Queenstown. He then Bleared for the
. Asorts, and reaebtd that land on the 2d of
Jannarv, where he stopped twenty-four hours
to land’these men and undergo a little repairing.
He experienced very heavy weather nearly all
the time he had bei n out, the wind being from
the north nnd northwest. On tho 28th of De

lurther Particular*—several Persons
Injured—Narrow Escape of tbe Uou.
e. A. Grow.
The following contains some details of tho re
cent railroad accident in addition to those fur
nished In our telegraphic despatches :
Friday momtDg, about 10 o’clock, a train on
the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad met
with an accident, by which the last car was
thrown down an embankment ten feet high, at
Beech Haven. The train had been on a switch
to allow some coal trains to pass, and had
nearly pnlled ont from the switch, moving
very slowly, when, in some way, the hind
tracks were thrown off, and the car turned
over, breaking loose from the rqst of the
iralD, and made a complete revolution sidewise,
landing again on the wheels. There wore seven
passengers in the car, ail of whom were more or
less Injured. The Hon. Galnsha A. Grow, who
■was returning from tho meeting of the Stato Cen
tral Committee at Harrisburg, was sitting by the
stove at the time, with one boot off, warming his
feet. The stove door being open the coal tumbled
out, and over him, and the stove broke from its
fastenings. Part of the time Mr. Grow was on
top, and sometimes onder the stove. The gen
tleman's clothes were badly burned, but he mar
velously escaped serious Injury, receiving only
several slight burns and contusions, aDd
losing his boot and hat. Mr. L. A. Tyler,
of Montrose, bad a slight ent ou his head
and was bruised on one knee. Mr. Costello, of
Shickshlnny, had bis face burned and his back
braised. “Bob" Butler, of Binghampton; J. Un
derhill, of Kingston, Superintendent of track; a
boilermaker from Kingston, aDd tho wife of an
emplojd of the road, were all slightly bruised
The car took fire, bnt it was soon extinguished
with palls of water-from the engine of the train
and from another eDgine at hand. Mr. Grow
and Mr. Tyler came to this city and took quar
ters at the Lackawanna Valley Honse, where Mr.
Grow was visited by a number of onr prominent
citizens. He took the afternoon train for his
home at Glendale. Nothing bnt the slow mov
ing of the train prevented a much more disas
trous affair. —Scranton (Penna.) Republican.
HBBTBIirTIVB FIBE IN NEW YORK.
. Loss Over 8150,000.
Tho New York Tribune of this morning says
About 6.30 o’clock on Saturday morning a Ore
occurred on tbe third floor of tbe three-story
building No. 16 Mulberry street, occupied and
owned by John Steinmelz as a picture-frame
manufactory. Tbe flames ran rapidly through
the building, and soon communicated with
the all-story building No. 18, occupied
by B. W. Merrlam & Co., manufacturers
of picture-frames and cabinet articles. De
spite the utmost exertions of the Fire De
partment, both thCße buildings with their con
tents were entirely destroyed. The massive walls
of No. 18, falling outward, partially crushed No.
14, a tenement house, occupied by eight poor
families, whose effects were badly damaged. They
bad succeeded In removing a portion before tho
wall fell. The loss of Mr. Bleinmetz on buildings,
machinery andstock amounts to about $50,000.
He la insured tor but $6,000. The loss ot Messrs.
Merrlam & Co. on stock ai d machinery Is from
$55,000 to $60,000; partially Insured. Mr. Merriam
refused to give the amount of his Insurance to
the Fire Marshal, declaring that he knew of
no law that would compel him to mako known
his private business. The building was owned by
Mr. William Phelps. It was valued at $30,000,
and Inßnred for slu,ooo. Tbe losses of'the poor
tenants of No. 14 range from $3OO to $BOO each.
None of them are Insured, and In some cases all
their worldly possessions were consumed,leaving
them destitute and homeless. Borne of the ad
joining buildings were somewhat damaged by
water. But lor tho active exertions of Chief-
Engineer Klcgsland, and tbe Fire Department
under him, the damego would have been very
much greater, and It was only by the most Inces
sant watchfulness that the adjoining buildings
were saved.
Taxation in Euglaml,
The London correspondent of the N. Y. Times
furnishes tbe following very interesting infor
mation :
The taxei (except local and poor rates') for tho
United Kingdom amounted lam year to £83,709 -
OUO—s4lB,6oo,ooo— gold. Of Ibis sum, propei ly
and Income paid. $17,671,000; semi-necessaries,
as ten, coffee, &c.—what Mr. Bright calls the
breakfast table, and which he proposes to set
free—with certain matters ol pomp and circum
stance, armorial bearings, servants, equipages,
plate, &c.. paid £9,470 000; drink and topacco,
£29,120,000. The single vice of drunken
ness pajß u lax of £10,000.000; and
this over and above a moderate allowance of
liquors. This tax paid by drunkards costs.—who
shall say how much in Idleness, pauperism and
crime ? These tuxes fall heavily upon those least
able lobear them, oven the tempurue and care
ful. A muu with un Income of £lO,OOO a year
pays In taxes £960; a mao with £5OO a year,£s2;
a workman who gets but £7O a year pays £5
taxes—even if heabstaiu trutn liquors and to
bacco* These, however, uro nut approx
imations to tho truth. Tho burden upon
men differs greatly ; money pays a
pretty even percentage. The real ulffereoca is
between the respective burdens of men and
Women who never do un hour’s useful work in
their lives, living In every comfort and luxury
and those whoseJwholc lives ore one scene of toll
and privation. What are wo to say, for examplu,
n a country where a certain number of persons
die every:weekfof starvatlon-where thousand
perishtof want hpd. misery— of a fact like .this,?; ;
“Tbe silver plate belonging to thoDnke of Nor
folk, which bad boon locked up in Mosers.-Smith
& Payne's bank since tbe death of the late Duke.;
has been once more taken from Its concealment.
The plate is said to weigh a ton and a half, and
is valued at AloO.OOO.”,.
Of coutee, the young Duko has had no control
of the matter, but Ido not see how he could
walk comfortably through square miles of star
vation-through the squalorof great districts of
this metropolis,with .£60,000 worlh'of silver plate
lying useless at any banker’s, which valne In
vested ini somo useful work would provide a com
rortable subsistenco for hundreds.
THE ARM* BIliL.
The Proposed Deduction of the Army.
Washington, Sunday, Feb. 7 —The details of
the proposed bill for the reduction of the army,
agreed upon by tho Honse Military Committee
yes U rday, and outlined in thCBO despatches laßt
nigh t, are In brief as follows:
First— Consolidate tho Quartermaster, Com
missary and Pay Departments Into ono depart
ment, to bo called the Department of Supply.
Second —Consolidate the ordnance and artillery
into one corps. . ... .
Thitd— Reduce tho numbers of Infantry regi
men tsrrom forty-fivo to thirty.
/omfAyNo more brigadier-generals of tho lino
to be appointed beyond the present number,
eight, tjrtiß abolishing tho two commissions now
vacant:
Fifth— No more brigadier-generals to be ap
pointed to the Staff, except the Chief of the Sup
;s2(i£-AboUsh Regimental Commissaries of
Subsistence for cavalry.
Seventh —Reduce the number of non-commls
eioDtd officers In each regiment.
Eighth— Abolish bands.
Ninth— The term of enlistment to bo five years.
Tenth— The mode of reduction to be by ab
sorption—that is, In military phrase, by “cas
ualiy,” expiration of terms of enlistment, als
charge, death, disability, dismissal, resigna
tion, &c. . . .
Eleventh —All the Staff Departments to be re
duced in the number of their officers.
No new appointments are to be mado, either
irom West Point or from civil life, until this re
duction is accomplished, which It Is estimated
will require about two years. The number of of
ficers thus cut off is abont six hundred. The
measure will bo proposed to-morrow,under a sus
pension of the rales, as an amendment to the
Army Appropriation bill. It Is dealgned.as much
as anything, to test the tempor of tho Houso,
some of its leading members having complained
that the Military Committee were apathetic on
this question. - If the Army Appropriation bill Is
to be cut np indiscriminately, without regard to
the objects or necessities for which the money Is
appropriated, as It has been for three days post,
then it is absolutely necessary that Congress re
duce the army In the same proportion. General
Butler, animated by his Inveterate hostility to
the Regular Army, stands ready to propose, as a
substitute for the foregoing, a still more sweep
ing redaction, which amounts almost to anni
hilation. It is exceedingly doubtful, considering
all the circumstances, whether any reduction Is
Anally accomplished at this session. There are

Tbe Tax Question Settled.
Pan asia, Jan. 28.—A meeting of the merchants
was called by the President of tho State last
week, to come to some deflnlnlte understanding
in regard to the tax question. A very lengthy
conference was held, in which the President was
told some very unpalatable troths. The desire
of the business men was not to embarrass the
Government in refusing to pay the tax, but to
protect tbeir own Interests, which would be
sacrificed if they submitted to pay the exorbi
tant demand of $lOO,OOO, and that if the law bo
enforced, they would one and all close their
stores and leave the country. The Government,
after taking the matter into consideration, con
cluded it to be advisable not to push matters to
extremes, and accepted the proposition of the
mercantile community to reduce the tax to $60,-
000; a new assessment was made, and everybody
seems to be satisfied with the result. I have un
derstood, however, that tho merchants will me
morialize the Bnpreme Court at Bogota, in order
to test the right of the State to impose commer
cial taxes. The weather is very dry and sultry,
and small-pox has made its appearance among
tbe negroeß of the suburbs.
The United Slates steamship Tnscarora, and
tbe Cyane, are present in this port.— Nets York

IHE SAN DOHIQGO SCHEME.
A Big Job.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
save :
If one can believe tbe very smallest part of
what Is being circulated hero'about the scheme
lor the annexation of Bt. Domingo there is a
very huge Job at the bottom of it. It is said that
certain parties in this country have obtained
grunts of nearly the whole territory of Bt. Do
mingo, and that If tbe annexation scheme Is put
through onr government will And itself the pos
sessor of only a right to pay the Indebtedness ol
the acquired territory, with scarcely an acre of
soil to call its own. If this be true, and the par
ties Interested are really, as stated, occupying
high official positions in this country, It Is easy
to understand the eagerness manifested In some
quarters for the annexation of Domingo.
TBE PEACH CROP.
Prospect* in Maryland and Delaware
Thei e seems to be a diversity of opinion among
onr experienced fruit-growers relative to the ef
fect the recent warm spell has had upon our next
summer’s crop ot peaches. Some contend that the
buds are sufficiently swollen to bo affected by the
cold, should any be experienced, while othors are
equally tenacious of an adverse opinion. They
all admit that the buds are swollen, bnt differ In
regard to tbe degree. This, we imagine,depends
altogether upon tbe qnalily of tho soil on which
the trees stand. Those on light sandy soils are
more advanced than those on heavy clay land,
and wo would not be the least surprised If some
(.retards are an entire failure again this year—
Denton (Caroline county) Union.
The peach crop now promises well, and every
thing that is practicable should be done, and
timely done, both to secure Its safe and prompt
transportation and its profitable sale. There will
probably be two or two and a half million of
huskuls, which sbonld net as many dollars to tho
growers, aDd will, If properly attended to; but if
neglected, or Ignorantly or inefficiently managed,
not mere than half bo much The Importance of
the peach crop to the people of Delaware was
never eo well understood as now. Last year’s
total failure, and tjie consequent scarcity of mo
ney, have opened our eyes lo ibis matter, and we
hope that everything that Intelligence and skill
can do will be done to promote this great interest,
so Intimately connected with tho prosperity of
the State.— Delawantin.
X Bom an co of the Cuban Rebolllon.
An American citizen who was In the Theatre of
Villaneuva on ike evenlog of the 22d ult., and
witnessed tbe riot and massacre In the streets of
Havana that evening, says that the origin of the
outburst was tbe shooting of a young woman.
He soys: "A very beautiful glrj, the daughtor of
Aldama, one of the wealthiest and most noble of
ull Cubans, wore upon ber lett breast the Ameri
can flue, with the Inscription, ‘Long live the Re
public of Cuba,’ upon it. When that stirring
song was being sung, tbe whole audience rose
und cheered this young woman, and as
she rose to acknowledge tbe saluto—all eyes
were now bent upon her—a low, mean, cowardly
Spuulnrd shot her with a revolver, killing her
instantly. Two American ecntlemen occupied
the. box unjoining Beunrita Aldama, whose names
I do nol know, but one of whom, seeing the pis
tol pointed nt tho young lady's breast, drew his
revolver; and a second after tho Spaniard had
fired, blew the top off tbe head of iho cowardly
assassin. lueliuuly tbe wholo theatre was tho
scene of the. greatest confusion, and tho Spanish
Hoops rushed Id and begun firing upon the
masses of the huddled, unarmed, Innocent mon
and women.”

A Perilous Adventure.
The Port Huron Commercial relates tho follow
ing: ■* Leon do Boux, a native of Gaspe, In Lower
CaDnda, and for the last four months at work on
the Manitou Island, left his log cabin on Satur
day, the 2d lost., with bis dog, a large, powerful
Newfoundland, In pursuit of garno. -Ho soon dls
covered tbe freeh traeka-of-a-largo-bearr-Gan-
Uonsly following It ho reached the Bhore of Lake
Enron, and saw at no' great distance-on - the 100
the very animal. Climbing over huge blocks,
which the storm of the previous night had strewn
In wild confusion on the rocky coast; he ap
proached; suddenly tho bear stopped, aiid tried to
retrace his steps' to the neighboring forest.
To intercept the BDimal, Do fionx and dog
went on the ice, which .seembd soenro As the
road was for miles unintercepted'by water.- Ho
gained on the bear from minute to minute; -when
be saw to bis astonishment that the huge beast
■topped, looked aronnd and retraced his: steps,
chasing the dog before him. He shot, and-dwell
aimed ball entered the hood and killed him on the
spot. Rushing toward the carcass ho did hot ob
serve that the wind changed, Ihattho 100 groaned
snd cracked. Ho reached tho beast and tried to
drag it to the shore, more than three-fourths of a
mile distant. Bnt imagine his surprise when he
toond that the wind, blowing fresher and more
violent, bad mado a chasm between him and the
land more than two rods broad. At once seeing
bis perilous position he fired rapidly and hal
looed at tho top of hla voice. No one answered;
echo blodo brought his own voice back ont of
deep rect6seß and rocks, and he was rapidly
drifting, in a southwesterly direction, to the
middle of tho lake. His position was Indeed most
dangerous; tho wind inoreased from moment to
moment, and when sight set In It blow a perfect
hurricane, breaking the large piece of ice on
whioh he stood into a thousand fragments,throw
ing him at one moment violently against icy
masses, at another covering him with a freezing
wave. There he sat on the dead bear,his shivering
dog at his feet, looking wistfully at his master for
baip. De Boux saw no help; every moment
threaUned death; the cold was Intense, unbear
able; ho proyed and asked God to end his suffer
ing; the Ice in the moantimo drifted more and
more to the Michigan shore, and when day be
gan to break over the water he conld soe far in
the distance a dark line, which grew until ho
could distinctly discover that It was land; sud
denly the ice on which he lay stopped. It had
joined huge fields of ico. Exhausted and frost
bitten. he walked lor miles toward tho shore on
tbe frozen element, when again the
large Island of ice broke, drifting
steadily toward tho Michigan shore.
Now he could distinctly see trees and huts: he
he ard the barking of doge; he tried to load, his
gnn to fire; impossible, his hands were swollen
and btnnmbca; he hallooed and shouted—no
help. And again night passed, and again day
broke over tho water, and ho lived still. In the
meantime the wind had turned more to the east,
and forced the lee right into the western shore.
Crawling on hiB wounded hands he atlast reached
terraJirma abont six miles north of tbe light
house, where some kind-hearted fishermen found
him and took him to their shanties:”

To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Bcbenck, ol
Philadelphia, owes bis unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens themorbtd matter, discharges
it and purifies the blood. The Mandrako PUls
act upon the liver, remove all obstructions there
from, give the organs a healthy tone, and care
liver complaint, which Is one of tho most promi
nent causes of consnmption. Tho Seaweed
Tonic Invigorates the powers of the stomach,
and by strengthening the digestion, brings it to a
normal and healthy condition.
The great reason why ph<elcians do not cure
Consnmption Ip, they try to do too ranch; they
give medicine to stop the congh, to stop chill, to
stop night-sweats, hectic fever, and, by so doing,
they derange the whole digestive powers, lock
ing op tho secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Ido not try to stop a congh, night-sweats,
chills or fever. Remove thecaneo, and they will
all stop of their own accord. No one can be
cured of Consnmption, liver complaint,
dyspepsia, catarrh, cancer, ulcerated throat,
unlesß the liver and stomach arc made healthy.
Dr. Schenck himself, wtjo has enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for more than titirty-flvo
yc&is, was supposed, at one time, to be at the
very gate ot death, bis physicians having pro
nounced bis case hopeless, and abandoned him to
his fate. Ho was cured by the aforesaid medi
cines, and, plnce bis recovery, many thousands
similarly afflicted have used Dr. Scneuck's prep
arations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, nuking It hot

Re-opknikg op the Mammoth Bikk. —The
Mammoth Skating Kink at Twenty-first and Race
etteeta was re-opened on Saturday last, and the
attendance was very large. The lee was in good
condition, considering the weather, and the affair
proved a.brilliant success. The Meagher Bros,
performed in the evening, and added immensely
to the iclat of the occasion. All the flattering
eulogies bestowed upon them seem to fall far
short of the reality. A grand • fancy-dress
skating and promenade carnival, under the
auspices of the Meagher Brothers, is announced
for Saturday evening, the 20lb Inst. From the
success attending the carnivals in New Tork, and
Montreal, Canada, we Judge this will prove a
very brilliant affair.
Admitted to the Bae.—L. E. Pfeiffer, late a
student In the office of John O'Brien, Esq., was
admitted to practice at the Philadelphia Bar,
alter having passed a very creditable examina
tion, which his numerous friends will be pleased
to hear.
THIS COURTS.
Distbict Coubt.— Judge Btroud—Benjamin F.
Wright, John F. Bherraer and James M. Stewart,
Building Inspectors of the City of Philadelphia,
vs. Robert H. Beatty and Frederick A. Luttmun.
This was an action brought by tho Building In
spectors to recover from the lessees of Concert
Hall the penalty prescribed by the Act of As
sembly of March 16, 1867, lor placing
chairs and stools In tho passage-ways of
places of amusement. It is alleged by the plain
tiffs that on the 16th of March, 1868, the defend
ants allowed aisles and passage-ways In the andl
torlnm of the hall to be obstructed while said hall
was being used. It Is also alleged that on the
same occasion the doors were closed, thus ob
structing the free egress of the people.
The act of Assembly in question prescribes a
penalty of $5OO for tbns obstructing passage-ways
or closing doors of places of public amusement
during the time of performance. One-half of the
penalty is given to the informer and the other
half to"the Society for the Relief of disabled Fire
men.
In the course of the proof by the plaintiffs lead
ing to ehow tbe doors of ingress and egress, it
appeared that the only door on Chestnut street,
under tbedlrect control of tho defendants, is situ
ated to the went side of the front, and the east
door is sometimes used ub a moans of egress by
permission of the occupants of the other portions
of the bnilding. Both these doors open out ward,
as required by the Act of Assembly. In case of
necessity there are three doors of exit, the third
being on Clover street
Manlius G. Evans, a witness called for the
plain lift, when examined on his rinVadoir, ad
mitted tnat he was the informer in the case.
The defence objected to his testimony on tho
ground of Interest.
The counsel for tho plaintiff answered that
whatever interest he had.he had assigned away to
a charity.
, Mr. Price, for the defence, replied that the act
of Assembly fixed his interest.
Judge Stroud sustained the objection bv the
defence, and the witness was not examined.
Charles H. Hart testified that he was at Con
cert Hall on the night of March 16th, 1838,0 n the
occasion of Mrs. Kcmblo’s reading. He saw
u-lurs place chairs In tho passage-way. Witness
remonstrated, wherenpou Mr. Boitty was called,
and be told witness If he did cot like the chairs
there, be might leave tho hull.
On crosß-examlnation witness stated that there
were quite a number ot chairs in tho aisle, and
that people coaid not get oat except with diffi
culty.
Fred. Chase, who was present on the same oc
casion, corroborated, tho abovo, and ho saw par
ties endeavor to pass down tho alslo, bat fail
because of tho obstruction; and ho'saw ono of the
parties attempt to got out tho hall but was un
able, because the door was closed and apparently
locked.
Henry C. Spnkman testified to tho same ol>-
slructione.
• ’This closed tho case for tho plaintiff.
Tbe defence. In opening, referred t> .the fact:
Wat the complaint In question bad reference to
’We first of 1 Mrs.' . Kemble’s' readings. She bad
been annoyed by parties In New: York, coming
latc„and ebo decided not to bavo reserved seats.
There wop, consequently, a great rush, and eomo
of tbore wbo came late, or did not obtain seats,
tobk chairs themselves, and when Mr. Beatty's
attention' was called to it be went to the parties
and remonstrated with them. ' Some of those
who thus occupied the chain did surrender
them.: In additton to this action of Mr. Beatty,
it was urged that white tbe defendants were tho
general Iceeeee of the ball, yet on certain occa
sions the building Is turned over, to tbe party
having tbe entertainment. On this occasion Mr.
Pngb bad charge, and bad bis own agents in tho
building.
Judge Stroud—The act of Assembly makes tbe
lessees responsible.
Mr. Price—But this act has nover received a
judicial construction. It will also bo rocollected
that during tbe wiDtcr that this act was passed
there were a number of “rings” at Harrisburg.
One was to "bring down" the railroad men; an
other “riDg" to “bring down” showmen, and
hence tbe present law.
Tbu caso Is still on trial.
Qoabteb Sessions— Judges Allison and Lud
low.—This morning tho Court was engaged in
hearing ah argument by counsel for the owners
of land recently taken for Park purposes, who
claim that the city should bo required to
allow Interest on the amount of tbe award
of damages, said interest to commen co
from the time the city agreed to take the
land. This is resisted, on tho ground that tho city
has not had poseteelon of the propcrty. and that
no interest should be allowed, as no actual pos
session will be obtained until tbe coart confirms
the award of damages. The matter was hold
nndcr advisement.
