NARROW KfCAI K OF GOLDSMITn’s fIAU,.-
Tliitt morning, about six o’clock, a fire yr as
discovered in tbo establishment Of Jacob
Haohnlen, lithographer, in the fourth story of
•Oohlsmitb’s Hall, in Library street, below
Filth. The flames originated in the steam
pms-room. In the northeast corner of the
apartment there is a stone upon whloh the
ink is mixed. This stone is generally wiped
off with rags saturated with benzine. Under
the stone is a box, into which it has been
usual to throw these Tags. The ink used by
lithographers and plate printers has _ linseed
oil in it. That kind of oil is peculiarly liable
to oxidation, and spontaneous conibnstion is
the result. The fire this morning was a clear
case of spontaneous combustion. It had probar
blv been smouldenhg all night. This morning,
a little after 6 o’cloek, the man whose duty it
is to sweeji out entered the • establishment and
discovered smoke. He made an examination,
and found that the box containingthe rags had
been reduced to ashes; The wooden supports
to the ink-stone were on fire, and the flames
had just reached the window curtain. An
alarm was given, and the Fire Department
was promptly on the ground. Chief Engineer
Downey and others extinguished the lire with
buckets of water. The damage done was im
material. The building made a very narrow
escape. It is six stories in height, and is filled
with combustible and valuable articles.
Fire Marshal Blackburn made an investiga
tion of the fire, and. as stated above, found it
to be a ease of spontaneous combustion. Pro
prietors Of such establishments should be very
careful and not leave the saturated rags on the
premises at night. Fires often happen in that
way. The fire in Lee & Walker’s music
printing establishment, on the Ist of January
last, originated from that cause. From among
the numerous cases on the records in the Fire
Marshal’s office we select One to show the
danger to be apprehended from these rags
saturated with printers’ ink. A Are occurred
at one o’clock in the'morning in the
establishment of Illman Brothers, plate
printers, No. 703 Arch street. It origi
nated from spontaneous combustion, and Fire
Marshal Blackburn called the attention of
the.firm to these dangerous rags. A woman
was then employed to take away the Tags
every day. On One Saturday in July she was
sick and did not make her appearance. The
rags were not allowed to remain, however.
fThey were thrown out of tlio window on to
the roof of a brick building. This roof was
tin and was painted red. It was not supposed
that, the rags could do any harm there. The
rags took fire on Sunday afternoon, heated
the tin, and then the wooden sheathing be
neath it was set on fire. The early discovery
of the fire prevented the destruction of the
building however.
Good Friday.— By this time it would be
superfluous to state that to-day is Good
Friday. Atmospherically speaking, it is a
new good Friday. Thermometers were en
couraged at sunrise by the prospectof achance
to “get high.’’ As thermometers get high the
Schuylkill proportionately gets low. The
promenades to-day are a continuous stream of
parasols. The lady who, in a fit of absence
this morning, went out with mull'and furs,
was taken home in a condition bordering
upon liquefaction. The lady was melted. Snell
was the warmth of the morning that e ven soda
water fountains began to take on enthusiasm,
and to feel all that encouragement experienced
by Mr. Mould, the undertaker, when he finds
that cholera has made an irruption in a fash
ionable quarter of tbe city.
To-day is a State holiday. For this reason
the State courts are resting upon catfish and
the act of Legislature. The Board of Brokers
held no session this morning. Of the gentle
men composing it not a few are,this afternoon,
in their phaetons and “ buggies,” enjoying the
fragrance of the springing hyacinths, anu the
health-giving aroma of the shrubbery in Fair
mount Bark. What is true of the Board of
, Brokers is true also of the Commercial Ex
change. This body held no meeting this
morning. The Secretary and the exquisitely
, amiable “ Sergeant-at-Amis” alike exulted in
tlie enjoyment of that paradox—a penitential
holiday.
, . To-day is also the anniversary of the death of
Abraham Lincoln. It was commemorated at
the buildings of the Union League, the Na
tional Union Club, the Evening Bulletin
; and other prominent points in Philadelphia, .
by the display at half-mast of the National
; flag,for the honor of which he sobbed out
. his last sigh.
. The banks, bankers’ offices, insurance of-,
fices; &c., aro closed to-day. Theyounggontle
men who do duty in adding ui> figures upon
their ledgers are amusing themselves. Notes
otherwise due to-day were legally due yester
day. That the wind blowing good to no one
is a rascally kind of wind will be seen ex
pressed to-morrow evening, upon the physi
ognomies of the gentlemen who deliver to the
delinquents the notes of protest.
Tbo services in' the Episcopal, Lutheran and
•Catholic Churches this morning were of the
usual penitential character. Having described
them for nearly hatf a century, wo have only
to say L> wio (lisce omnes. The Bishop solemn*
nizod, at the Cathedral, the usual services,
and at every Catholic Church wore held up to
multitud of worshipers the agonies and the
atonement made upon Mt. Calvary.
.Retail business to-day is moving with, a
rush, of which the condition of things on the
walks of wholesale trade is the direct opposite
A Touching Incident.— Parties represent
ing themselves to lie soldiers are frequently
seen about the streets soliciting alius, and one
•of the favorite modes adopted for raking in
’.small change is organ-grinding. Many uf
these soldiers, however, are looked upon is
impostors. A few evenings ago a very touch
ing incident occurred at a well-known saloon
in the neighborhood of Broad and Chestnut
streets. A man'enteredand asked for assist
ance to enable him to reach his home in Pitts
burgh. Very little attention was paid to him
until he drew out an honorable discharge irom
the army. The paper was passed aiound
among a number of gentlemen until it reached
one who had been a captain in the army. His
name was appended to the document. He
. .looked up and recognized the man before
him as one who had been a member of
his company—a faithful, brave and obedient
soldier—one who had passed through many
trials, hardships and dangers during the war.
The recognition was mutual. The two men
grasped hands, and tears came into their eves.
The meeting was very affecting. The noble
hearted Captain is well-off in this world’s
goods, and lie rejoiced that it was in liispower
to extend assistance to his old comrade, who
had been such a faithful defender of his
country. Hesaidtohis companions;—“That
. man deserves all that we can do for him. 1.
will merely relate one event which occurred
during our career together. At Spotsylvania,
the color-bearer of tlie regiment was shot,
down after entering the first line of entrench-'
raents. This man seized the colors,
and' advanced with them under a
falling tire. Soon a ball pierced his left arm.
he flag fell to the ground and the men;/ wa
vered. This brave fellow again took up the
flag with his right hand. Ho shouted defiance
at the enemy, thereby encouraging his com
rades to renewed exertions, and what was al
most a defeat was speedily turned'into victory.
Upon the spot he was promoted by his brig
ade commander, and received the hearty con
gratulations of many prominent officers.”
After this little speech, only a few seconds
elapsed before that soldier had sufficient funds,
not only to carry him to Pittsburgh, but to
furnish him with a good suit of clothing.
Thk Good Templars. — The thirty-ninth
Lodge of Good Templars, of this city, was or
ganized last evening at Rev. Dr. Stryker’s

most favorable auspices. There were over

The Nkw Public Buildinos..— A meeting
of'be Public Building Commission was held
this afternoon, at their room in the now Court
Housc, William S. Stokley, Esq.; President;
in the chair. ' ;
Mr. Thomas‘U. Walter* Chairman of the
Committee on Plans and Architeoture, stated
that the meeting was called to consider cer
tain bills. The hills are all in, and the total
amount is $1,054 50. There is an unexpended
balance of appropriation of $1,489 03, leaving
a deficiency of $215 47. It is proposed to ask
Citv Councils to make an appropriation tq
pay this deficiency. . , „ ... ,
■ After some discussion it was agreed that the
bills shall be paid when approved by the an?
diting committee, and that the President of
the Commission ask City Councils for an apy
prepriation to pay the deficiency. ■ j
Mr. Pugh offered a resolution providing
that when this Commission adjourns, sine ate
the books, papers, and other property; be
placed in charge of the Commissioner of City
Property for safe-keeping. '. -
Mr. Spering said that this Commission is
not going to adjourn sine die. It exists by law
ful authority, and the only wav to feet rid of it
is to repeal the ordinance which created it. ' It
is probable that another meeting will not be
held for a long time. When the new Com
mission comes into power, if the Governor
signs the hill, this Commission will jqroiKptly
transfer the papers to it. Q
The resolution was withdrawn,
Mr. Walter moved that an additional com
pensation of $5OO be given to Mr. McArthur,
making the deficiency in the amount of the
appropriation $715, instead of $215. He said
that he made this motion because Mr, McAr
thur had been subjected to heavy expenses.
The revision oi the plan- actually cost him
51,07(i 80, because he was compelled to force
lhe matter up, to be ready for exhibition by
the Ist of January. His office was used foi'tip
wards of three months, involving a suspension
of bis other business, in order to accomplish
the views and intentions" of the Commission.
Mr. Dickinson called for the yeas and nays
on the motion.. He would like to have his
vote recorded against this extra appropriation.
Mr. McArthur had presented a plan whicli
was not at all suitable, but liq had been
awarded the first premium for the best plan.
That plan had been revised,and Mr.M/eArthur
had been paid $5OO for doing it, while others
who presented equally good plans, offered to
change them to suit the views of the Commis
sion without, extra compensation.
Mr. J. V. Watson favored the payment of
the extra appropriation. 1 • ,
Mr. Billingtomeoineide.d with the views of
Mr. Dickinson, and seconded the call for the
yeas and nays.
Mr. Lovegrove said that there was not a
quorum present, and moved to adjourn.
The motion was agreed to. Adjourned.
The Easter Services at the Catholic,
Episcopal and other churches on Sunday will

Local Chowder.— -The zeat of a New Eng-,
iand chowder is the diminutive piece of bacon,
from which it takes its of fleshy
flavor. To-day being Good Friday, we are
compelled to reject it—not so much for the
lack of the pork as tor lack of other material
of which to make it.
The rums of the big forwarding house at
Broad and Cherry streets still remain, a
hideous deformity to the street and an eye
sore to tlie pedestrian. The decomposing
flour under the debris emits a stench that lite
rally poisons the surrounding atmosphere.
The iparket people are rejoicing this after
noon. Many a family w ? ill indulge on Sunday
in a luxurious meal who for weeks past have
been robbing the doctors by the practice of
attention to dietary regimen that will render
them independent of drug stores for the
entire balance of tho season. The markets to
morrow will he full of life and hustle. Tho
fraternity of butchers will come our, as usual,
with their Snowiest aprons and brightest
smiles.
The latest dodge to work off old stock is to
rent Ithe store of a bankrupt retailer of dry
floods, and tumble into it every procurable
variety of textile refuse. The idea is a variai
tion from tbe idea of “ threat, bargains in wet
dry goods”—dry goods sprinkled each evening
with a watering-pot, to he ready for the sales
of tht following day.
(/'IIARCED WITH EmUEZZLEMENT.— George
B. Thatcher was before Alderman Beitler

(THE INDIANS.
Important Letter from Will lam Welsh!
Khq ,’ formerly Chairman ol' the ludiau
t'ommlgHlou.
To the Editor of the <Vtron>rle: At your solicit it ion the
i undersigned gives the following particulars of 41 the bill
to.promote the civilization of Indians, and to prepare
thorn for citizenship' l that passed the Senate by a
unanimous vote, but istemporurily detained by a motion
to reconsider, muds by Senator Stewart, of Nevada. Tho
President of the Cnited States and tho Secretary of the
Interior strongly commended the unpaid special Indian
Commission appointed last year, although, from their
other occupations, they were not üblo to give their en
tire time to the work.
“ This body of philanthropic men can still give valuable
aid in effecting the much-needed reform in Indian affairs
by supplementing the labors of those who are in the
regular service, as was done by the Sonitary and Chris
tian Commissions of the lute war. Tho success of this'
experiment'and t lie absolute necessity fora further
movement induced intelligent, and experienced friends
of.tbe Indians and ol the.Uovernmont to prepare the bill!
'i under consideration.' The movers are men who waut'
neither office,-profit nor patronage. t
Their design is to lift J mliau atbiirs out of over-cluing-:
ing partisan political control, and to intrust all that th«;
(Joverumont does for tho peaceable Indiana to a porma-t
nent board of inspectors,comprising tho Secrntarj of the

entno salary ns fho Oommisßfonor of Indian Affairs, and;
*ill continao in ofiico until removed for cause by;
the President, with tbo concarroaco of the Somuo. The
Pecretnry of the Interior and the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs nr© now too much occupied with tho do-;
tnilaoftboir offices to visit tbo Indiana and to grapple
successfully with tho complicated apd difficult problem
oftheir civilization. The lack of permanency 1 in'tUoacv
officers is also & groat hindrance to porfectfag ana carry l ,
hi* out a system t hat should bo continued through raaoy
years and adapted •to tribek almost ai dissimilar as tho
African nnd Chinese. Men who will make this a life;
work, and whose reputation are at .stake, can alone cob-,
ducflndhui affairs to a satisfactoy conclusion. I
From tfie President's deep interest in the Indian and;
his flrm’helief in the possibility of their ciTUizationun-.,
dor proper auspices* he will* undoubtedly; 1 got the beat'
ruen that will work in fall accord with thd Secre
tary of tho Interior, who is equally the friendof the lns
dinn.
Tho Board of Inspection is to be attached to tho De
portment of the Interior, ana to use all tho existing ma
chinery, while it will supervise, and* if noed be. restrain
abuses of money and other appropriations for the bene
fit of Indiana >
They© inspectors are hlbo obliged
First— To visit the Indians ana report on tho quail flea •
tions and conduct of nil persons employed by the Gov
ernment, with authority to suspend temporarll? ftny
person when they doom it necessary. ■
Second— To ascertain if the treaty stipulations and
laws are faithfully observed and exocutod, reporting
thereon to the President. ’
To negotiate with the Indians for the modifica
tion or abrogation of existing treaties when authorized
to do so. *
Fourth—To supervise tho purchase ’Of - goods, to- bo
present at tho payment of annuities, and to comparo tlie
goods when distributed with the invoices of samples.
Fifth— To examine books and touchers, and also'
schools, farms, riiflis, Ac;,reporting on their condition
and prospects. [
Sixth—To examine all claims for or against Indians,
on the reservation when practicable, and.no claim .to bo
allowed until it has been examined by tho inspectors.
Seventh— To act as tho Indians'friends by listening to
their complaints, and to have assistance from tlie near
est military post in ejecting from the reservation any
onenotamemberof the tribe who is corrupting the
morals of Indians.
Eighth—To aid in locating Indians on farms and to in
.cite them to self support.by discriminating as far as may
bo in favor of the moral and industrious.
JWiifA—To administer oaths and affirmations, and to,
fl„<rpn«r permanent codes of laws for tho various tribes)
of Indians. j ;
'Jnu imiulso authorizes the President of tho Unitod
States to discontinue any suporintendoncy, and to cause
the ngents to report directly to the Commissioner of In*;
diun Affaire : that the Board of Inspection may havo all
arcoubts under its supervision. Much of good order
of the military department is owing to the faithfulness;
of urmy inspectors.
The bill was carefully propared by experienced ox-.
Sorts ; then it was put in shape and introduced into the
ennte by (lon. Wilson,the chairman of the Committee
on Military Affairs, acting with the cordial concurrence',
of Senator Morrill-, the Chairman of the Committoo ou<
"Finance. It was thonreforrOd to the l
ndian Affairs,and -by it thoroughly : considered, in full
coimniueo, amended,and then approved .unanimously.
Senator Harlan sent it to tho Secretary of tho Interior
for examination, nml received a letter of approval, say-,
ing u 1 am satisfied wo can work smoothly under
pud) a eystom. and that it may bo of very great
use and advantage to tho Indian service.” Tho bill
was then slightly amended in tho Senate by consent of
the committee. It will no doubt pass tho Senate
ns soon us it is reached, and the House is not likely to
delay its papsuge, as It is known that the Chairman of
tho Committee oh Appropriations of the House, as well
ns of tho Senate, deem tho passage of this bill necessary
to have Indian appropriations from misuse or spolia
tion. If Imliuns can be assured of a permanent body of
sympathizing friends, tin y will generally, profur such
control to that of the unitary, to whom they will be
transferred if the tribe cannot, or will not, control or
pUDish its. lawless members. In the minds’ of -
many, there is"a misapprehension of tho experiment
that tlie Society of Friends is making untar authority
of the "President of the I'nitod States. Tbe society
termed Orthodox nominates and supervises tho superin-:
tondont and agents for Kansas and a portion of tho con
tiguous territory. Tho other Society of Friends has
like control over Indians in Nebraska,. This experi
ment in limited to these two snpermtendencies. It give*
the promise of success, but tho ability of non-resistant*)
to coßtroi savages when binarting under real orsup
pofccd wrongs by the Government or its agents is, in the
minds of some real friends of tbe Indians, an experi
ment of doubtful issue. . •
I’nlcss some system is soon adopted that will give food
mid contideneo to Tndiaus who are not allowed to roam
at will in search of game, it is feared: by eojne of the
be*,t-infonm*d men that atrocities will increase until
travel on the pacific Railroad will become unsafe., The
Indian question is now too serious to Induce political
leaders any longer to look to such appropriations for
party paironaze. .Such spoiiationsof tho Indians hav»*
caused a fearlnl loss of life and trensure,' : JVom whi h
there is now a natural recoil. \VM. WELSH.
