neuvdition Or Zion Lutheran. Chaurclits
The rapid Increase of , the business interests of
our eltSi , is gradually clearing away the old land-
Marks that connect the past With the present,
and one after another of the ancient and anti
quated structures are disappearing before its In
exorable.demands. Not only are private diva -
Ingo of the old atyle removed to make:place for
great commercial 'palace:l, but even churches
are made to yield to the steady search of improtro
-IThese remarks have been tmggested by the de
molition of , the quaint old structure at the corner
of FOurth and Saie,rry. Streets, which for more ,
than a century lois been 'regarded as a , centre
tinned which cluster the memories and associa
tions; of so many of our German fellow citizens.
The Philadelphian` of the last' century 'perhaps
remembers many of the events connected with,
the old:etructore, but those of the present day
may , need to be reminded of . its antiquity, and of
the scenes and incidents which make it memo
rable in the annals ef Philadelphia. The follOW-
Ing brief history may be of interest to many:
The church is known as the Zion German Lu
theran hurch. and originall came from
Michael C 's Lutheran Church, at y
Fifth and Cherry St ..
The cornerstone of St. Michael's Church - was laid
in 1742, and it was dedicated in 1748 It.ev. H. &L
Mutdenberg being its fi rst pastor. Twenty years
afterwards it became evident that St. Michael's
Church was too small for the increasing member
ship, and emigration bad taken a new start from
Germany, and in the year 1759 the congregation
laid the cornerstone of the school-house in
Cherry street, below Fourth. which at present Is
used as a parochial school, and bears all the
evidences of age. On the 13th of May, 1766, the
cornerstone of Zion Church was laid, the
lot being purchased for the sum of
$4,106 66, and the erection of the present
building commenced--no very small undertaking
in those days. The edifice is 108 by 70 feet and
the cost of building, exclusive of the furniture,
was $10,016. The number of bricks used
was 525,567. The foundation of the tower was
very masstve,, but unfortunately it was never
gni:shed. The church was considered in those
days the largest and finest in North America.
The - ceiling was about 40 feet high, divided into
3 longitudinal vaultings, supported by 8 massive
arches of the Doric order,
the whole splendidly
ornamented. When the,church was dedicated,
June 20;1769, the pews were not yet put in, and
it was tot until three years afterwards that the
church was finished entirely. If the Germans of
those days had Been the wonderful growth of our
city, it is , hardly probable they would have built
Zion church only one square
from St. Michael's;
but al,that time Callowhlll street was the north
erninoat part •of the city, exclusive of ,the
housed lining the shores of the Delaware.
For many , years the German Lutherans wor
shipped In both church buildings. When Ttev.
George Whitfield was expected in Philadelphia
in 1770, no buildiog in the city seenuar large
enough to accommodate the masses that wished
to hear him. The vestry of Zion's and St. Mi
chael% congregations, on January 18, 177, o, re
solved that Zion Church should be opened to
Whitfield and his friends for their services.
Whether nanda there we do not know, as
he died In En during the same year.
TO show,with what jealous care the old German
fathers watched over their beloved Zion Church,
we narrate the following incident: At that time
the bleak, diamonds, which now form the great
staple of our State, were at a discount as an ar
ticle of fuel. An enterprising blacksmith had
established> himself in Fourth street, above
Cherry. Be used coal [in his business,-and-the
aforesaid Fathers were convinced that the
sulphuric j vapor and smoke arising there
from Wald. - certainly spoil the - beautyof their. , niajestle edifice, end would
endanger the health of the pastor, the people in
general, and - the children in the parochial echool
in particular. Alter a solemn and serious con
sideration of the subject, they actually bought the
smith's shiniand - pUt 0, - stop to the nuisance., Bat
those same men were wise enough bay the
ground between Eighth, and Franklin and Race
and Virteetreets,.and in this waylaid the fohnda
tion for the wealth of that congregation. This
ground hasteen recently sold, and the proceeds
are being devoted to the building of new churches
and assisting others in feeble circumstances.
The political storms of those days did not pass
without in some degree encroaching upon the
sanctities of Zion Church. In spite of the en
treaties of the pastor and vestry, it was, on the
22d of November, 1777, taken by the English
army, All (inlay, and transformed into.a hos
pital. the pews were removed, and when, in
the fall of 1778, the congregation again had pos
session of the Church, the worshippers were com
pelled to bring their own chairs; and it was not
until the year 1778 that complete order was , re
stored. In 1790 an organ was introduced into
the church, which at that time was considered
the largest and best organ in, the new world. It
had about 2,000 pipes and three key boards, and
was built by Mr. Tann'enberg, of Liar., Pennsyl
vania, at a cost of $9,833 33.
A few years later the conotgation of Zion
Church-suffered a severe visitation. In 1794, the
second night atter Christmas, a lire broke out in
the vestry room, outside of the east wall of the
buildieg,nrider the tower. All the wood work of
the tower was consumed, and in a short time the
roof of the church was involved in the flames,
and the whole inside of the church was destroyed,
nothing but the bare walls remaining. The loss
to the congregation was very great,but they took
courage, went to work with an earnest will,
and on the 27th of November, 1796, they were
enabled to re-dedicate Zion Church. In the
meantime, being deprived of their own house of
worship, they availed themselves of the kindness
of the , German Reformed Church, and wor
shipped in the Church of that body, in Race
street, below Fourth., The Vestry of Christ
Church, on Second street, bad also kindly offered
the 'use of , - their Church. In 1799 Zion Church
was used for the solemn service commemorative
of the death of General Washington.
Within the last fifty years the number of Ger
man Lutherans has multiplied wonderfully in our
city. To satisfy the increasing wants of religious
services Zion Church established branch churches,
and for this purpose erected a building at the
northeast corner of Brown and St. John streets;
also, at Third street and Columbia,and Fifteenth
and Ogden streets, in the northern section, and
at Fourth and Carpenter streets, in the southern
section of the city.
The central part of the city becoming more and
more a place of business, and the German popu
lation removing from this part of the city, Zion
Church became too large for the remnant of the
old congregation, and it was therefore resolved
to sell it and locate on Franklin street, below
Vine, on the site of their old burial ground. A
commodious and comfortable church is now
being erected of brown eandstone and we under
stand will be completed during this year or the
early part of next. The congregation at present
worships in their original church at Fifth and
Cherry streets.
The old structure is to be taken down, and
stores erected in Its stead, and thus another old
landmark will disappear.
The' pastor of Zion Church is the Rev. Dr. W.
J. Mann, who has held that relation for the last
19 years. He recently received a call from a
Lutheran church In New York, but declined it,
much to the gratification of his present dock.
The first pastor of Zion Church was Rev. 11.
M. - Muttlenberg, from 1742 to 1779; ituv. Dr. Hel
muth, from 1779 to 1825; Rev. Dr. Demme, from
1822 to 1859.
DEA= or AN AGED, CITIZEN.-Mr. Jeremiah
Rogan died yesterday at his residence, southeast
corner Of Ninth and Green streets. He was in
the 103 d year of his age. The deceased was a
highly-respected citizen. Notwithstanding his
extreme age, his mental faculties were vigorous
and unimpaired, and up to within two weeks,
when illness prostrated him, he was able to and
did read newspaper-print without the aid of spec
tacles.
JEWELRY STORE ROBBED.—Lnet evening,abont
seven o'clock, during a very heavy shower of
rain, the glass in the bulk window of the jewelry

Benj. B. Wilson,. .A. M., M. D. Professor of

During his remarks he said:
For more than one hundred years has the good city
of 'Philadelphia sustained for benefit' the proad posi
tion of the metropolis of medicine' in the United
States. For more than one hundred years, at each an
neal return of the early spring time, with the first
song of the blue bird, with the blossoming of the first
flowers of spring, she has' been sending forth from
her halls of learning her doctors in medicine, whom
she has educated, fitted and prepared" for the great
work of doing battle against disease end death.
On every side, thronghout every portion of ear ex
tended county, there are to be found these missiona
ries of science, whom ourgood city claims as he es
pecial children, whom she has educated and biddet to
go forth upon their errand of humanity and mercy.
From the icy hills of frost-bound New England to
the sunny plains.of flowery Texas, in the populous
and teeming cities of our Atlantic seaboard, and in
the primeval forests of the great far west, they aro
alike to be found, healing the sick, binding up the
wounded limb, making the blind to see, the deaf to
hear, the lame to walk.
And - our sister cities around us have seen that it was
well to follow in the footsteps of those,
onowh, (a cen
tury ago, created the first medical college this side
of the Atlantic, and imitate an example so fraught
with blessings to our race. Many medical schools
have been founded and established upon the classic
model of our time-honored University, and their
graduates, working side by side, and shoulder to
shoulder with our own, vie with them in skill, in in
dustry, in energy and success, in the succor and relief
of suffering humanity.
For suffering, disease and death are the appointed
inheritances of the human race; our lot is to be born,
to suffer and die. From every quarter there comes La p
to us the cry of pain; on every hand we see the pale
face and wasted form, the flushed cheek and glowing
eye of fever. And no condition or circumstance of
life can exempt us front this, common sentence pro
nounced upon all mankind. From the lowly cottages
of the twor and lan d fr om the comfortable man
sions of the prudent d thrifty : from the stately
palaces of the wealthy and affluent, comes alike the
appeel.. for help in the time of sickness, for soothing
comfort' In the hour of mortal agony, of travail, of
death,. Strong and vigorous men, delicate and fragile
women, the old and the middle-aged, and even little
children, all ate the subjects of the inexorable decree
which, given out from the gates of Paradise, still
sounds in our hearts as it did to the affrighted ears of
our first parents, "Twill greatly multiply thy sorrow."
The painful inspiration of our first-drawn breath and
the final agony of the last expiring sigh, but subtend
the worldly suffering with which the measure of our
lives is tilled.
And now to the people of oar good cly it nue seemed
well that in this great work of charity, of mercy, of
humanity, that woman, the helpmate and ally of the
strongerand sterner sex, should be invited, instructed
and commissioned to bear her part. Pioneers now in
the middle of the nineteenth century. as pioneers we
were in tne eighteenth ceniury, we do not tare to in
quire what others have been or are doing in furtherance
ot the cause in which we are engaged. It may be that
it has been customary to educate women for medical
duties heretofore; it may be that it has been con
sidered fashionable, or has not received the approving
smile of popular endorsement. • • •
In that, spirit of reckless activity in the cause of ad
vancing civilization and the effort of doing good to all
men which led, a century ago„ to the establishment in
this place of the first medical school of the sountry,
was organized the College, the. first of its kind in the
worldov hose etiveriteenth annual commencement we
celebrate to-day. It was perceived that the interests
of the sick and of society were to be benefited - -by the
education of womci for the profession of medicire,and
to see was to 'be ready to act. And so,
ut once was inaugurated a movement, the ini
tial effect of which society has hardly yet
begun to feel, but which, at no distant day, is des
toted to exert a moat profound Influence upon some of
the customs of enlightened communities throughout
the civilized World. And it seems indeed .eminently
proper that here the idea should have its birth, and
this movement its inception. The name of oar city is
identified with much that is renowned in the history
of American Medicine. Here Physlek, the father of
American Surgery ; here Rush, the patriot. statesman,
author and physician; here Dewees,for many yeare the
authoritutive writer of his branch, both. ,in the old
wdrld and the new, lived, practiced, and taught their
profession. The very atmosphere of the place is pr o
fessional. and pointe to all thatis high and noble in it.
And thus the seed of this great movement was
planted. It germinated promptly, and gave evidence
of abundant vitality n the 'iery earliest periods of its
existence, for the new college was at once organized
with a full corps of professors, and in the Autumn of
the same year commenced its sessions with a large,
intelligent, educated and appreciative class of stu
dents.
But our little seed was planted and sprung into be
tug beneath the spreading shadow of the veteran in
stitutions of a century, and surrounded on all sides
by thrifty growths of fewer years, but no lees vigor
ous framers. Let it not, therefore, excite surprise that
our little plant grew feebly, at d scarcely seemed to
[sustain the bright hopes engendered of its early pro
mise !ike all new enterprises, this had its difficulties,
its trials, and periods there were when the courage of
even the most courageous seemed to fail.
But its friends, though few, were earnest, were f sith
fel, were hopeful. They had confidence in the future
and in the inherent vitality of tie cause In which they
were engaged. It became their pleasant duty to shield
our Hale plant from the rough and howling wintry
blasts of professional prejudice and hate; to cover it
from the chilling cold of popular apathy and neglect;
us protect it front the too fervid summer sun of enthil
elude but hasty and injudicious Meta: to bedew and
nourish it by the careful and ?radon application or all
Ihe limited pecuniary means at its mmand, and to
labor and cultivate its resources with an energy that
never ftsgged—with an industry that never tired. • "
Our little plaut has grown strong; it has become
stately in fie proportions and beautiful to look upon.
We are consciously proud of the seemingprance of
its youthful vigor. We are prouder still of the abun
dant promise of, as we (oddly believe* glorious matu
rity. To-day we present you with its fruits—not its
tine fruits, nor yet, we hope, its last—but nu earnest of
what we reverentially anol trustfully believe the future
has in store for it and us.
Ladies of the Seventeenth Graduating Class, to me
has been assigned the duty, in the name ot my col
leagues and myself, of Esiddleg you good-bye, and
wienlug you a God speed in the profesSion which you
have chosen as the occupation of your future lives.
I wiliroot say it is a pleasant duty, for we meet as
teacher and pupil for the last time, an the abrupt
severance of relations so intimate as ours has been,
cannot but be accompanied by end reflections. -
With you to-day is the beginning of a new llfe. The
occasion is one of bright hypes, of pleasant anticipa
tions, of anicioifs impatience for entrance upon the
duties and responsibilities of your-new vocation. Al
ready your imaginations carry you to the scenes of
your future labors. The school, with its doily lessons,
the city, with its bricks and walls, are left behind, and
amid new surroundings, and with new friends, you
are longing for the opportunity to make yourselves a
name and reputation in your distant homes. • • •
But it is especially an women practitioners of medi
cine that I have a charge for you to-day. As a people,
our countrymen and women do not show the fairest
type of health; and it is said of American women, in
particular, that, though beautiful in youth, they fade
early, and suffer more from nervous diseases than any
other civilized people iu the world. If thee° are facts,
and I think they may fairly beconceded.the explanation
is be found in the lamentable want of knowledge,even
among the educated and more intelligent portion of
our community, of the commonest and most funda
mental laws of hygiene. The laws of our being, the
circumstances which conduce to the preservation of
our health, and even of our lives, are not made matters
of 'study and consideration, as they should be, by our
people,and especially by the ladies of the community.
PrOM tee intimate and confidential relationship which
is to exist between you,and the influential of your sex,
we hope much will be accomplished by your sound
precept and good example. Your tact and judgment
will obtain toryou wholesome results whore we of
the sterner sex might labor in rain. Explain to your
patrons how and where the inexorable exacdons of
fashions, of custom, of habit, are at variance with the
dictates of judgment and prudence, and insist, with
the mild but firm authority which your profession as
ssigue to you, upon a return to reason, propriety and
good sense. As yen have charge of llie mothers of
America, so you will care for the children "of our peo
ple. The mortality of infant life %something terrible
—it is simply enormous in Ito numbers, and thus far
the ofente of physicians seem to have been inadequate
materially to lessen the largo death-rate of infants
which our public tables show. The solution of this
problem is worthy of your best efforts, and I point out
as your duty to check this awful sacrifice of human
life, oy the exercise of higher professional acumen.
Yon will find congenial employment for the exercise
of your highest talents, and I have faith that they
will not be exerted in vain.
I have not to remind you of the cheering auspices
under which you assume the doctorate. You are to be
congratulated, as you have already fully realized that,
during your career as students, many of the obstacles
that hitherto impeded the way of studentalinve been
removed. The brave and true women who have gone
before the community in advance of you have also
smoothed the way for you as physicians. A woman

crow, eudiject of curious remark or thoughtless jest—
she is,on the contrary,a character extensively known.

DIBTHE!3I3ING CasuAntre---Fsr.Lor Houtni--
Tut= PERSONS moriing, about
half-past three o'clock, the realdettts otl. , Whites
court, in the neighborhaod of, Broad. and Ship
pen streets, in the Twenty-sixth Ward, were ,
startled by a loud crash. They..lopratig from
their beds, and soon ascertained, that ono•Sf the
houses on the court had fallen down:' The house.
which is now in ruins, was an old two-storied
structure which bad been .put up about twenty
years ago. It was originally very poorly con
structed of brick and stone, the north wall being
only four inches in thickness. The structure has
been in rat her a dilapidated condition for some
time past, and it is supposed the heavy rain and
strong wind which prevailedlast night caused the
total demolition of the building.
The house was owned by Mrs. Hagan, and was
occupied by Gottlieb Kidd and hist family, com
prising his wife, Margaret,aged about fifty years;
Thomas, a son, aged twenty yeare,aud'Margaret,
a daughter, aged sixteen.
At the time of the disaster the family was
asleep, and received not the slighted warning of
the impending accident. The house tumbled into
the celiar,and all the inmates were buried beneath
the ruins.
As Soon as posaible the neighbors got to work
to remove the rubbish and extricate the unfor
tunate persons who were under the pile of bricks
and mortar. They were assisted by the police
of the Seventeenth district and attme of the mem
bers of the Harmony Fire Company.
Mr. Kidd was first discovered. He was alive.
One of the beams laid across his neck. The beam
was quickly removed, and Mr. Kidd was taken
out. Ilfle complained much of his head and thigh,
and had evidently been seriously injured. He
was conveyed to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
Mrs. Kidd was next found. When taken out
she was dead. She was badly bruhted: but her
death is supposed to have resulted from suffoca
tion.
The children, Thomas and Margaret.,were ex
tricated soon afterwards. Both were dead. The
bodies were not mutilated,and, liks their mother.
they are supposed to have died from suffocallon.
A small frame stable, on a lot adjoining that
upon which the fallen house 'bad stood, was
crushed by the falling bricks, and a horse wnich
was in it was killed.
A house on the opposite side of the court was
considerably damaged by the falling rubbish.
The door was shattered, and a portion of the
front wall was knocked in.
The eistressing casualty caused quite a com
motion in the neighborhood, and during the
entire morning knots of people gathered about
the scene and discussed the particulars of the
sad affair, which in a moment had exterminated
a whole family.
COUNTERFEIT MONEY.--fitephon Bontield and
James Mooney were arrested yesterday after
noon, at Eleventh and Federal streets, for drank.
enness and disorderly conduct. They were taken
to the Seventeenth District Police Station, and
were searched, as usual with prisoners. In the
pockets of Bonfield $23 in counterfeit fractional
currency were found, and Mooney had $l5O in
the bogus stuff upon his person. Subsequently
John Bonfield, a brother of one of the prisoners,
was arrested, and on his person four countefelt
twenty-five centliotes vrerelbund. The prisoners
.were taken before Alderman -Bonsai; and were
held for a hearing before the U. S. Comb:J.6Bloller.
Fula. mokrdng,abbnt seven o'clock,
William W. Flaherty, aged 47 years, residing at
No. NO North Fifth street, fell dead at the north
west corner of Third and Vine streets. His sud
den death is attributed to .heart disease. His
body was removed to his late residence.
TILL. TAPPING.-Wm. Glover, hailing from
Pottsville, was arrested yesterday afternoon and
taken before Alderman Paneoast, upon the
charge of having broken open and robbed the
money-drawer of the store of Mrs. Hannahan,
No. 623 North 'rwenty-third street. He got
$0 65. He was held in 6600 bail for trial.
BOLD runs-r.—James LeddY was arrested yes
terday while in the act of wheeling a barrel of
molasses from the front of a grocery store, on
Weccacoe street, In the neighborhood of Fourth
and Catharine streets. ,He was committed by
Alderman Tittermary.
COUPTEITFEITniti.—In another column will be
found Mr. H. T. Heimbold's explanation of the
manner in which counterfeits of his widely-lint:own
and popular medicines can be detected. The
success of Mr. Heimbold has natnrallyi induced
dishonest men to try to profit by his enterprise
and expenditure of capital; but, as the fluids
offered by these rascals are deleterious and worth
less, it behooves everyone to comprehend the
method by which the fraud can be detected.
TIMPIIRANCIF. MEETING.—Another temperance
meeting will be held this evening in the Lecture
room of the Church, Seventh street above Brown.
The proceeding this evening will be of a highly
interesting; character. Addresses will be made by
Rev. T. Y. Mitchell, Pastor of the Coates Street

MANY MEN are solittle aequaluted with Life
Insurance as to think that the only benefit accruing
from it is the payment of money to the family of ,the
insured at the time of his death. They do not know
that there are plans of insurance by which they can
have the full amount of their policies paid to them at
any period of their lives—say, at forty or fifty years of
age. Thus insurance is made a good investment, and
that, too, for the benefit of the insured himself and not
his family only. No Company offers greater security
and at lower rates, than the ANIALLIOAN Lint INS. Co.,
of Philadelphia, Southeast corner of Fourth and Wal
nut streets.
A mosr striking proof of the progressive ep t
of the times may be seen in the marvelous perfection
of that remarkable invention, the AMESIGAN Burros
BOLE AND SEWING MAGRINT., When compared with
any of the old mechanisms in this line. The rapid
develop:tient of improvement as seen in this new and
splendid machine, and the astounding degree of ex
cellence attained, are, indeed. almost incredible. And
what is most gratifying in this connection is the fact
that hie is altogether a Philadelphia institution, the
Com - rany bemg located here, with their factory at
Twentieth and Washington avenue. and Ssucatiooms
B. W. COB Or ELEVENTH , AND CHESTNUT EITEL WO
commend this extraordinary machine to the notice of
all who are interested in such matters; and to those
who design purchasing family machines we say, by all
means examine the American.

- Cotton AMIN, A c.—Lose About 5175,000.
At s,o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out
in the waste and oil room of the brick cotton mill
of R. & A. Adams, in the rear of the Pluenix Mill,
on Bondinot street, Paterson. The firemen
labored well, but without organization or sys
tem. The police force was prompt and efficient.
'The building fell in after burning an hour, and is
a total wreck. The machinery was partly
new, of the best kind, and is almost
a total loss. The fire communi
cated to Smith & Syk( s's machine shop, which
was saved, with most of the machinery, although
both were badly damaged by water. John E.
Van Winkle & Co's. machine shop and foundry
were also burned out, leaving nothing but cin
ders. The third and fourth stories of Low's In
dustry Mill (cotton) was badly burned,and much
damage was done to it by water. Mae mills
were situated in the midst of the series of Pater
son cotton mills. The Adams Mill contained 100
looms for weaving mosquito netting, 6,384 spin
dles in self-acting mules. There was also stored
in the mill a heavy stock of the last year's manu
factured nottinga and yarns,and 100 bales of new
cotton. The loss of the Adams Mill is over $l6O,-
GOO, on which there is $56,000 insurance in sev
eral London, Hartford, New York, and Brooklyn
companies. Two hundred hands from 'this mill
are thrown out of. employment. Smith &
Sykes's loss is $3,000 to $3,500; insured for
s to , $4 .

;EVuarn

Hlo.MLol2reooo
&
Co.'s loss is $500; insured. The reason of the
disparity between the amount of the insurance
and the value of the buildings was occasioned
by the high premium on such tnitiklings.
Stephen McCibbons, a brother of the notorious
"Tom," and a fireman, was knocked from a lad
der by a falling wail, and sustained dangerous
injuries. John O'Neill was hit on the head by
dropping bricks and also injured.—N.Y.Tribune.
