agency for these unique foc simile copies of
famous works is established in this city, at the
Hazeltine Galleries, No. 1125 Chestnut Street.
• For Some time past the collection has been in
complete, owing to - the - absence - of - the agent,
with specimen copies, in other cities. The al
bums are now, however, all in place at the
central agency, to the number of six thousand
or more photographs. Connoisseuni, who
have bad difficulty in selecting while the re
presentative proofs were dispersed, can now
see the whole—by farTthe largest set in-Ame

the largest European galleries of the old mas

of great elegance, adapted to a particular bust,
has just been modeled by Mr. Wells. Ile has
further completed a likeness of Dr. Meigs;

residence of himself and farnily.___ln

-at the:corner 'of Locust-street and Woodworth
avenue, on'. the 7th instXifter spending
a portion of the foll - ing day in
examining prOperty, he went, out
with Frederick . Manny, a youth
some nineteen or twenty years old, son of Mrs.
Manny. The two engaged a .boat and took-a
sail on the river,:atid,while out, landed at Dud
ley's Grove, where young Manny introduced
Dr. Foster to Mr. Oliver .Dudley, the proprie- -
tor of the Grove. On the next day, the 19th
inst., Dr. Foster engaged a boat from the same
party he hired from betore, also some fishing
tackle, and went out on: the river alone, and
failed to return"to ticiariling-lithtse.. On
Tuesday the 20th instant, a- _flagman on the
Hudson River Railroad found the .boat in
which Dr. - Foster had left Yonkers,. near Dnd
ley's Grove, tied fast to the dock or post,
and in the boat,Were found a, knife and fish
ing -line.
- From the day that Dr. Foster left Yonkers,
he bas failed _to make his 'appearance or to
communicate with Mrs: Manny; and, strange
to say, that lady neglected to report the disap
pearance of her hoarder-to the police or any
one else likely, to afford any assistance in the
Matter, until ten days afterward. On exam
ining a carpet bag or valise le.ft behind, it *as
tbund to contain a diploma given to - him by;
some mddical college, and a deed for . Some
prOperty - itl3faine. *The valise also fortu
nately contained the address of his family in
Philadelphia. When Dr. Foster, paid :qrs.
Manny his board bill in advance,
it was observed that he had with him a large
amount of money. The police authorities at
Yonkers on-being apprised of these facts ini-•
tnediately set about clearing
- up the mystery,
"and on their . inquiring at Dudley's Grove for
information,'lltr. Dudley stated that he recol
leete.d having seen Dr. Foster there the day:
after he was introduced to him, and- that two
well-dressed strangers were in his Company.
Dr. Foster did not take anything to drink ex
cept soda - water; how long -he remained on
the grounds Mr. Dudley could not say, as he
was too busy at the.time to notice him.
_ A telegram was at once sent to Mrs.-Foster,
relative to . the.disappearaiiee of her husband,
and that lady immediately.
.came. to Yonkers,.
reaching there on... Monday evening, and mani
fested great alarm and-exciteinent on learning
the facts in the case. She sent for Sergt.Flan

to Yonkers to purchase property;and had

PATHETIC "LAST WORDS.
A Model Newspaper ValLedletory.
The Indianapolis - Times die - s with a grim hu
mor. Its farewell number contains this dying
_specoh-a-nd-eonfession :
"In his famous story of. '3lose. the Sassy.'
A. Ward tells ms of a sublime utterance by a
man whose head had been cut off by the pi
rate: 'Oh! that I should live to see
myself beheaded 1' We have, indeed, shared
the fate of that unfortunate individual. A few
weeks ago we experienced a groundswell of a
reformatory character. We felt that reforma
tion was necessary. We conversed with several
of our friends, and they felt just a,'s we did.
The enthusiasm was strong and deep, and we
felt "that we needed a dailY newspaper to
give expression to our feelings. Our reform
atory friends told us to go in, and we went.
We were not especially devoted to reform,
but we wanted business. Things went on
swimmingly, and would have continued so,
but our friends stood by us. In fact, they
stood by us too much, and did nothing else.
Having experienced too much of the ' stand
by,' we decided to resign. It is a very pretty
custom, adopted hereabouts, to say that a man
has retired' when• he is discharged from a
place or fails in business. We have retired'
from the reform liminess.' We retire grace
fully, though.
' " The brilliancy-of our career has only been
equaled by its brevity. But we retire with one
piece of knowledge we never possessed before.
We are satisfied that we are fully competent
to close the affairs of any paper on the shortest
netice.
" The business management of the paper
would have been eminently successful, but
there wasn't any business to manage.
" For our reform: friends we have only an
affectionate and tender farewell, with one
word of achice: Give up the - reform business;
it don't nay. - We speak'. from - experienee. in
this matter. dear people' don't want
reformation. If they , , do, let them get it by
action, and not by silly, childish 'complaints.

ballet-dancer of the naine 4 of It—,belonging
to the Royal Opera of Berlin, had got into a
quarrel with the Graf von S—, an officer in
tile Royal Guard, and had insulted his 'adver

of the Guard. But the officer was much too

was destroyed, and , much damage-done to the
city near the harbor. The troops on board the
two steamers which' were here,have been sent

DEATHS IN A COAL PIT.
Trathic, Accident Near Pitisburgiv.
The Pittsburgh' Dezipatcli or yesterday con
tains the following account of a sad occur
rence: • • ' •
. - -
Last evening, about live o'clock, there oc
.
.curred._axiother,...of those..serious accidents'
from theliihalatian of fotil .air whicli on Sev
eral occasions of late have startled'ciur ctim
inanity. The scene of the disaster was Keil
ling's coal pit, which is located at the head of
Twelfth street, in Birmingham. At the hour
mentioned we learn that three men, emPlOYes
at the pit, started from the southern end of
the, tunnel, which is located in Allentown, to
walk to the Birmingham .end. They had
nearly reached the Birmingham opening
when it appears something startled them,
and one of the men screamed loudly as .
if for assistance. Two men, named
respectively • Milford and ' Stewart, 'who
were also employed about the Mine,
were; at the time of the alarm, standing near
the Birmingham mouth of the pit/ No sooner
did they bear the alarm than they ran into the
tunnel to the rescue of their fellow workmen.
Several others, who were standing about the
middle of the pit, noticing that Milford and
Stewart did not return as soon as they should,
took torches in hand, and followed their pre
decesscirs into the tunnel. After_Aproceeding
about one hundred and fifty feet, what was
their horror to lied the entire five persons
prostrated upon the floor of the pit and breath
ing 11(311;3111Y: At once the men set to work to
remove their comrades to the open air. 'When
they had completed their duties it was found
that Bulford and Stewart were, dead. The
three men Who had first ;entered :the pit,
strange to say, were, last night, in a fair Way
of recovery. _Foul - air was undoubtedly the
cause of thiseudden death, and how the three
Men who first entered escaped is' a' inystery.,.
The deceased were both single moil, - and had
'been employed abotieKeilliug's Mines for some

During --- tlie=excitement — of the • occasion a
young man named William Pollit entered the.
tunnel ;• his mother happening- to be present
at the_ moment, and comprehending the dan
ger that her son - was — probably - exposed to;
rushed in after him. The woman had scarcely
entered tunnel before she too was over
come, and had to he conveyed from the mine..
She recovered in a short time. ant as re
joiced tolear that her son was uninjured , .
There is a loconotive employed in drawing
BEIRIEM
the coal train through the tunnel, and it is the
opinion of filmic employed about the mine
that the smoke from the locomotive had a cer
tain effect upon the air confined within the
tunnel, which was instrumental in producing
the sad results noted. To-day the Coroner
will bold inquests on the bodies of the de

may be thrown upon the melancholy deaths
of the two young men who so nobly went to
the-rescue of their-m=7oes.
INirther Particulars of the Great Con
flagration at Constantinople—The De
struction of the English Embassy—
Whole Quarters In Ening.
Some fuller details have been received of
this calamity. The hospital and the residence
,of the German charitable society were de
stroyed, and the invalids were rescued by the
gallantry of some of the Germans, two of
whom died from injuries received. The Ar
menian Church of the Immaculate Concep
tion was seriously damaged, - :but the Trans
tigurabon worked in Gobelin tapestry and
presentedby the Empress Eugenie,was saved.
A committee 'has - been formed for the relief
of the sufferers, and a large amount has heMa
subscribed. All the foreign ambassadors have
distributed relief to their countrymen. The
Levontlierald announces that,- according to a
communication ,of the police. 7,900 houses
have been destroyed, and the total loss is esti
mated at £5,000.000.
-. The conflagration commenced in the Valide
Ischesme street, at the corner of Dzambar
street,, and destroyed the whole quarter com
prised within the following boundaries : Va

vasse l3ashi street,- Tatavola gardens, Kissini
Pasha'sardens, Brunalilschesnie street, the'
English. Embassy, Hamil Bashi St., High St.,
l'erai, and Taksim St. This quarter,which was
about one square mile in extent, contained
nearly 20,000 hobses, one tenth of which was
built of stone, the rest being of wood and
plaster. About fifty stone housas leading
from the High street, Pera, to the left were
burnt, the spread of the flames being facilita
ted by the strong north wind.- -Takeirn -street
, and . Halrkiar,_ Misk, Imam, Sckyz and
Agatch streets, and others, were almost all
inhabited by rich Armenians, who that-day
were celebrating the tenth fête of the Consti
tution. and had formed large pleasure parties
and had gone into the country. They,were-all,
therefore, absent, and have lost everything.
Many other inhabitants were also absent in
the country, the day being Sunday.
Alrbost the whole of the Italian working
class inhabited one of the quarters destroyed, ,
and have greatly suffered. Among the super
ior-class -of residents, the English and the.
Armenian are the greatest sufferers, though
'it is impossible to state with certainty the
amount pf their losses. Dead bodies are being
found every moment,2oo having been discciv
ered-up to the present Detachments of sol

-several places,- in- consequence- of - the-falling'
walls, as several persons have already been

reappeared at the back. of the French ,Hospi

and crew of the Messageries Imperiales
steamer. The government has erected tents,
and provisions are,..serVed out to all applicants.
All precautions were taken at the English
Embassy one hour before the fire approached,
but it was impossible to prevent the, .destruc
tion of the edifice. The flames darted upon
the, roof from a distance; of sixty paces_and_
several men were seriously burnt.
Sir :Henry Elliott was so absorbed - in his
efforts to save the buildings that he took no
care of his personal efiects,which were in con
sfiq Hence all destroyed. Lady Elliott left the
Embassy only just in time, as she was nearly
suliocated. The archives and documents
of the Embassy were saved.

been recieved from highpersonages and several
capitalists for the relief of the sufferers by the

Formal Announcement to the People of
the Vantage of the Annexation Scheme
—Proclamation of the Douls:i Htsku,..
The following is a translation of the procla
mation of the- Danish King to the p9ople of
St - : - Thonias - and" - St: Johns, announcing the
failure of the scheme to annex those islands to
the United . States; through the refusal of the
Senate to ratify the treaty sought by the re
presentatives of our Government: •
li Christian P. by the grace, of God King of
Don nark, the Vandals and the Gellth, Duke o 1
skspick, Holstein, Mormarn, Ditmarsch ' Lau
cnborg end Oldenborq, ..to our beloued and
faithful subjects in the islands of St. Thomas
and St: Johns our royal greeting
You are aware of the motive that actuated
us at the time to give ear to - the repeated and
urgent requests ot the North American Gov
ernment for-the - cessiOn of St. Thomas and St.
Johns to the United Btates. .We expected
that we in that manner should have been able
to lighten our realm of the heavy burdens in
curred by the then recently terminated war,
and we hoped that the annexation to the
United States would have atibrded the islands
advantages so important that they could have
contributed to soothe the pain which a sepa
ration. necessarily Must cause In the Colonies
no less than in the mother conntry. You for
your gart; and the Danish Diet on the part of
the Kingdom, have concurred in these views,
and . we all met in, the mutual-.readiness -to ac--
cemmodate ouraelvds to what appeared to us
all to be recommended by -the circumstances.
Unexpected obstacles have arisen to the
realization of this idea and released us from
our pledged word. The American Senate has
not shown itself willing to maintain the treaty
made, although the initiative for it exclusively
proceeded from the United States themselves.
Ready as we were to subdue the feelings of
our heart where we thought that duty bade
us,so to do, yet we cannot otherwise than feel
a satisfaction that circumstances have relieved
us from Making a sacrifice, which, notwith
standing the advantages it hold out, would
always have been very painful to - us. We are
convinced. that you share these sentiments,
and that it is with a lightened heart you are
released from the consent, which only, at our
request you gave, to a separation of the .
islands from the Danish Crown. . ,
In, therefore, making known to you that the
Convention made on the 24th of October,lB67,
for the' cession ofthe islands of... St. Thomas
and St. Johns to the United States of Ame
rica has become void, we entertain the firm
belief that our Government, supported by
your own active endeavors, will succeed in
promoting the interests of the islands, and by
degrees ethice all remembrances of the misfor
tunes which - of late years have so sadly be
fallen the islands'. To this end we pray Al-
nighty God . to give us. itrength and wisdom.
