A FINIS IMPROVEMENT-AN EXTENSIVE
PORK-PACKING ESTABL ISIIMENT.-A hand
some additiou'to the extensive pork-packing
and ham -curing establishment of Messrs. John
Bower & Co. has just been completed at the
'southwest corner of Twenty-fourth and
Brown streets. The new building is of pressed
brick, and is three stories in height, sur
mounted With a cupola: It issupplied with a
sub-cellar, ice-house, and all of the modern
improvements necessary for an establishment
of its kind. The new structure presents a very
handsome appearance, and is a fine impr ove
went to the neighborhood in whioh itis lo
cated.
The establishment of John Bower & Co. is
one of the largest of its kind in the country.
It covers an area of ground about 200 feet
square, fronting on Twenty-fourth, Brown,and
Ringgold streets. The ice-house connected
with it has a capacity of ten thousand tons,
and it is now filled with ice collected from the
ponds in that vicinity. Under the ice-house,
litTer-tOtiguesTbreaW„jerwl4- a nd--loins---are
_packed: In packing hams, in summer time,
the - hogsbends are placed in the ice, as a tem
•perature of 39 degrees is necessary to keep
them in good order. During the entire sum
mer the hams are kept in this condition. In
the establishtnentthere are five smoke-houses,
each one of the capacity of curing 1,000 hams.
In ei'ery 48 hours 5,000 hams can be
turned out. Sawdust and hickory wood are
used in the process of smoking. The total
storage capacity of the place is 5,000 tierces of
hams.
The hogs are kept in the cellar of the build
ing on Ringgold street. There is room for
4;00. The killing is done in the second story.
There there are three.-pens:.--Six porkers:. are
driven into each pen. Then they are clubbed
on the head, and killed by sticking them in
the throat. Then they are passed through a
gangway to the basement, whore they are
scalded_in _vats of boiling water. Then they
are returned to the first floor and scraped.
Afterwards they are salted down and packed
away to_be smoked when wanted.
All portions of the hog seem to be put to
some use. The spare-ribs are sold to poor
' Hies at twereents-per-pound,--T-he-tails-ar
disposed of at eight cents per pound and the
trimmings at fifteen cents per pound. As be
fore stated, the establishment of John Bower
& Co. is one of the largest in the country,
and the extensive business carried on shows
- that - Philadelphia, in-this respeet, can success
fully compete with the many houses of that
kind located in the - Western States.
The dedication of the new building took
place this afternoon. About - two - huudred -gen
tlemen connected with the commercial in
. terests of the city. were present. The Liberty
Cornet Band was also in attendance. E.
Harper Jeffries, Esq., presided, and a number
of addresses were made congratulating the
proprietors upon the coinpletion of their .
enterprise. Mr. John Bower leaves for
Europe in a few days. '

THE ALLEGED BAIUGGLING CASE.--‘The
case
of the schooner Archer & Reeves was re
'timed this afternoon before U. S. Commis
itioner Ilibler. The schooner sailed from Or
,•hilla with a cargo of guano and one passen
ger. This gentleman seems - to have provided
himself liberally with stores. These stores
were landed by permit from the Wilmington
Custom-house. The curious developments in
'he case are' that Captain Treland could-do
duty as an ocean navigator, and yet be unable
tic, read or write. The testimony indicates him
;is a victim of a conspiracy on the part of his
mate...
The evidence to-clay is this :
Henry Smith, second mate of the schooner
Arch'er & Reeves, knew of 4 kegs tamarinds,
I,box, 1 trunk and 1 bag ; know nothing of
dresses and coverlets. The trunk and bag
were carried away on board the Perry, in a
wheelbarrow ; know of no other tamarinds
carried off than the case put on the Reindeer.
At Orchilla 1- heard -thecaptain--give 7-orders
hat everything put on board should be put in
the tnanitest. The captain can only write his
haute. On the homeward voyage the mate
-aid he'd put the captain to trouble. The cap
tain bad told • him to put everything on the
manifest. He (the mate) hadn't done it. As
the captain, he said, could neither read nor
write, he would thus get into trouble. The
parties had quarreled on the voyage. The
cargo was'guano. Witness was on board while
the vessel was lying at Delaware City. He
saw the bag, and trunk put on board the
Perry. He also saw the articles put on board
he Reindeer.
Charles Redheffer recalled—He boarded the
chooner off F.aighn's Point. She had a bag
of coffee on board. There were no dresses in
her. Be had searched the vessel on a pre
vious trip.
James Foster, jr., mate of the Archer 86
Reeves, testified that they brought one pass
enger from Orchilla. 1 1 hey took on some
ugar at Barbadoes. some brandy, 4 kegs of
amannds, three bags of coffee, and sonic ,
ashes' dresses-and quilts. At Delaware City
we put off a box, a trunk, it bottles of brandy,
Ind a keg of tamarinds. They were put on the
teambort Perry, and brobght to this city. One
itox, 3 kegs of tamarinds and a bag of coffee
were put on the tug-boat Reindeer. I put on
lite manifest everything the Captain in
,tructed me to do. 1 put One bag of coffee on
he manifest; there was already one on board.
James P. Stetson, master of the Reindeer,
testified that the Custom-house officers took
away from the Archer Sr, Reeves 1 small box .
and 3 kegs tamarinds.
The Commissioner here continued the case
until to-morrow. lrn the meautitna,the Captain
can get no clearance. The integrity of Cap
tain Ireland is respectably vouched for.

PHILADELPHIA - EVENING!: BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1870;
More Editorial Fighting"—Two Journal.
. : ..... Thlrstiii - iiiTor Gore.
The Washington correspondent of the Tri
bvne says :
A duel, which has been the subject of con
versation for the past week in this city, was
abruptly and ingloriously terminated to-day.
The principals were men of much prominence,
and the friends of the gentlemen are also
More or less noted. The trouble began iu the
reporters' gallery of the Senate, about a week
ago, after the close of a very impassioned
speech by Senator Morton, on the sub
ject of Reconstruction. • The principals
in the affair were M. L. Q. Wash
ington, a member of the World's staff
in this city and the American correspondent
of the London Teleipaph, and Mr. Ben. T.
Hutchins, originally. from Concord, N. H. but
now a resident of Atlanta, Ga. During the
war he was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Gal
Regular Cavalry, While. Mr. Wash
ington was Assistant Secretary of
State of the Confederacy under Benjarnin.
At the close `of Mr. Morton's speech, Mr.
Hutchins applauded its sentiments, giving tit
he same time a very free expression of his
opinion of the Southern Rebels. Mr. Wash
ington took violent exceptions to the expres
sions, and a quarrel ensiled,
!kir. Hutchins taking the initiative
by writing a note in pencil to the effect
that Washington would hear from him very
soon. A demand for apology and retraction
followedond finally a direct challengeAwas
sent to Mr. Washington by Mr. Hutchins,
fated at Alexandria. Delays and diens to
amicably arrange the affair, by friends fol
lowed, in which the most laughable diplomacy
occurred. ll,meeting was finally decided upon
at Silver Springs, near the residence ofFrank'
P. Blair, Sr. More delays followed, and more
friendly mediation by acquaintances. The
persons who figured in the episode aro more
"Hess prominent. Mr. Washington has had
acting for him Mr. J.J. Bright, son of ex-
Senator Bright, of Indiana;Col. Richard Whi
t ersmitli,of Kentuttliy,w o was an - officer in,the
Rebel army ; and'Oen. , A. - 0. Jones, also of the
Rebel army. Mr. Hutchins ex periencedireat
difficulty in obtaining seconds, owing 'to the
rigorous laws here to prevent dueling and his
limited acquaintance. Mr. Hutchins 's
"lenge was , accepted, and Mr. Washington's
• econds named, and while the preliminaries
were going on, Mi. HutchinS's friends declined
to serve. Then Mr. Washington's friends, be
lieving that a settlement was out of the
' question, refused to go on the field.
Each gentleman' chose his • surgeon,
and the most complete arrangements were
made. Mr. Crounse of the Times was promi
nent in endeavoring_to effect a settlement.
Jeremiah McKibben, who will be remembered
as Broderick's second, was consulted by . Mr.
Hutchins, and,John Coyle, former proprietor
of. the Notioncil Intellifiegeer, was acting for him
at one time. The affair seems to have ended
nobody knOws exactly how, but it appears to
be satisfactory to the friends of both parties.
Both - gentlemen; - according to -- the accepted
evidence, have shown great courage, and:a
_perfect willingness to get shot at any, time.

THE RICE DIVORCE SUIT for fraud in age is
causing great excitement in Boston. It should Warn
young men not to ma•ry in haste. Rice is but 22, his
bride 37. He swears that She made him believe she was
but his own age, by using Magnolia Balm upon her tace;
neck and bands. Poor youth. Ho probably found her
elbows weren't quite so soft and pretty. Ought Hagan
to be indicted? We know of many similar cases. This
Balm gives a most wonderful pearly and natural Com
plexion, to which we don't object W6 - 11k - e pretty
women. To finish the picture, they should use Lyon's
Kathairon upon tho hair. With pearly chin, rosy
cheeks, and soft; luxuriant - tresses, they become irre
sistible.'
