DESTRUCTIVE COAL OIL FIRE Loss
FIFTEEN TRoUSAND DOLLARS.—A few minutes
before twelve o'clock, yesterday, a tire broke out in
the coal oil factory of Messrs. B. J. &J. L. Crew,
Southwest corner of Twenty-third and Arch streets.
This firm occupied an area of ground measuring
eighty feet on Twenty-third stree . t, and three hun
dred feet on Arch street, extending .to the:river
Schuylkill. On this ground were a brick office seve
ral wooden buildings, stables, and a number oestills,
and ImmenSe tanks. The firo originated aecidental
ly,and was caused by the ignition of benzine vapor in
one of the troughs. Several workmen tried to smo
ther the lire by throwing dirt upon it but it wag
useless. The flames ran along . the trough to a wood
en building In which was stored a number of barrels
containing coal oil. In a moment this was ignited
and soon the whole place was destroyed. A large
tank containing, two thousand barrels of crude oil,
which was • sunk in the ground near the river,
escaped destructiom This was owing to the men
having fortunately.
.broken the connections between
the tank and the Other stills. Altogether about
live hundred barrels Of refined oil were destroyed,
the greater part of which were Toady for shipment.
All the apparatuses and fixtures about the place
were burned up. The loss to the firm is estimated
at about eilli,ooo, upon which there is an insurance of
*lO,OOO in New ork: companies. Adjoining this
property on the south was a coal yard belong,ing, to
Mr. II Schreiner. no had about two hundred tuns
of coal on hand. The oil ran into his place 0101 per
meated through this largo mass of coal, setting it
on fire. The 11ro in the coal was not extinguished
until the oil burned out. The coal was not burned
up, but is rendered unfit for family use on account
of - the smell of the oil still retuning upon it. Mr.
Schreiner sulforcil a loss of about $l,OOO.
The large tube works of Messrs. Murphy &
son, in the vicinity, were in great jeopardy, and
wore only saved from igniting' by the exertions-of
the different tire companies. The coal oil burned
stubbornly till into in the afternoon, and rendered
the surrounding houses very unpleasant to remain In.

of ore can be submitted to the action of the fire for
Any_ length of time desired. By carrying the draft .
across the chamber the sulphurous and other dele
terious vapors are taken direct to the chimney, and
are- not brought in contact with the ore which re
mains to be roasted, as in ordinary kilns.

communicates, by means of a tube, with an inverted
syphon, filled with mercury, and placed in any con
venient position. As the water in the hold rises the
air in the chamber is compressed; and. this compres

troubles have not robbed us of our Good Samaritan
feelings. The natural promptings of our hearts tend

wrongs, as he is doing now, on the tyrannical masters
of the once poor, abject slaves of the South.

ceived.
Governor Wright, of Indiana, then stated that Dr.
Strong, of New York, the Secretary of the Convention,
would read the address of that body.
Dr. Strong than read the address. It contains several
points of interest.
In reference to the vote of thelaityupon that question,
taken by order of the last General Conference,
1. It is without precedent in the history of American
Methodism, not asked for by the laymen.
2. In the mode in whirl, that vote was taken the Ge
neral Conference should have been more explicit la
giving directions. •
9. The breaking out of the war has withdrawn the at
tention of the people. The State must first be saved be
fore the people can give their mind to great and import
ant changes in the organic arrangement of the Church
which they love.
4. The result of the voting shows that the neople of
the older Conferences have great favor for lity repre-•
mentation, :as a innfority of their votes had been cast for
the change.'
The address strongly contends forlay representation,
and reiterates the various arguments for its admission
in the councils of the Methodist Church.
The objections to its introduction are taken up and
disposed of in a masterly manner.
Great Sod glorious things to the Church are predicted
as the sure and certain results of the adoption of this
measure.

in Which they ask the Conference to pass a law provi
ding for the election of lay delegates to the next Confe
rencThe,

the United States, the Rey. Bishop Ames presented their
- report. Ito stated that the delegation had been very
courteously received by the President, and though the
response of the President had in. some way fatted its
way imo thepublic prints it wee not by the instrumen
tality of the delegation.
The President's letter to- tem Conferenee was then
banded by the Bishop to the secretary, who read it. It
was received with loud applause, It reads as follows;
GENTLEMEN: In response to your address, allow me to
attest to the accuracy of its historical statements, cu
dome the sentiments it expresses, and thank you in the
nation's, name for the sure promise it gives. liohly Stts
tained as the Government has hew:l.)a , all the Churches.
I could utter nothing which might in the least autioar
invidious against 'my.
Yet without this It may fairly be said that the Me
thodist Episcopal Church, not lees devoted than the best,
is, by ils greater umbers, the most important of all.
It is not a fault in others that the Methodist Church
sends more soldiers to the Held, more- nurses to the
bcspital, and more prayers to heaven than any: God
blr so the Methodist Episcopal Church; bless all the
Churches, and blessed be Cod who, in this, our great
trial, given' us the Churches. A. Lincor.s.

A communication was received from tie City Solicitor
in reference to League Island, having been directed by
ordinance to have .a conveyance in fee made to the city.
The Solicitor states that the title papers were forwarded
to him, but he could not approve of them. The records
show that the present holders have not gathered in and
do not own an undivided eighth part of twelve acres of
land formerly belonging to a certain John Wharton. It
also appears that there are now pending three actions of
ejectment, which assert title to about twenty-five wenty-live acres
of land. The Solicitorsuggested that the holders of the title
should convey with keneral warranty, which has been
declined, but an offer has been made CO give a bond of
indemnity. This would-not remove the defect of title.

THE TEIAL OF HOMICIDE OASES.
The Commonwealth vs. Felix Gill. In this e
_ease the'
jury came in at 3 o'clock yesterday, when the foremaa
stated that they had not agreed upon a verdict, bat de
sired to submit a written question to the Court, which,
being read, was as follows: "Does the law admit that
premeditation can exist between a series of blows re
sulting in death?"
Judge Thompson said in reply - that "if there is pre
meditation existing, it matters =not at what time it oc
curred. The law, in order to justify a verdict of murder
in the first degree, requires that premeditation and de
iiheration shall exist. If there does exist at any time
between the blows a premeditation or design to kill,
that is all the law requires." •
The jury then again retired; and the court having
waited until half past four, and the jury still not having
agreed, - adjourned till tide morning.

was a soldier in the Md. Pennsylvania Volunteers,
while partially intoxicated; and accompanied by . a
friend, called at the house of defendant's mother, and
inquired if there was a party going on. Mrs. Rush said
there was not, and requested Stein to, leave, which he
refused in an insolent manner to do, at the

yehterday. The pollee brought in a Yew drunken and
disorderly Persons during the night, hat'there were no
points of general interest developed at the hearing. lit
the offices of Aldermen Carter,Moore, Lutz; Dougherty,
and others, there was nothing worthy of a passing no
tice. Alderman White. early in the morning, was sent
for to attend to some argent business, • He repaired to
his office after attending to his official duties at tho
Union-street htFLUOu, and there found a group of colored
persons awaiting hid arrival.
The office opened, In the whole Party went, and ar
ranged thomi•olves around the bench of the magistrate.
Well," said the inngihtrate, what's the matter?
What can I do for you?"

bolero him.
No. nab: not exactly dis time, Me's come, alder
man, to got marred, Sally Ann and Mysef hob made
up our minds to enjoy the felicitousness of the connu
bial state of matermony, and as soon as we are joined
We intend to take the train for pap°. May; whir we in
tend to remain a short period.'
The magistrate, though naturally as full of - good hu
mor as an egg is of meat—one who can enjoy a joke---
assumed all the gravity of a Connecticut parson; and to
a lbw moments performed the ceremony. As he pro
nounced thetn man and wife, he requested the grooms
man to salute the bride: The distinguished Individual,
however,. hesitated ; he did not exactly comprohond the
word salute.
"Kiss the bride; kiss the bride," said the magis
trate.
"Oh!" said the newly-made husband, "I'll do that
ar moself," which ho did:with fervor.
The Alderman says that a person might have supposed
that half a dozen bottles of spruce be, -r had forced their
corks out. The customary fee having beon paid, the
happy areup of colored folks started away, the battle of
life yet unclouded:
The City Councils have 'done an act of justice to the
county, to themselves, and to Alderman Robert T.-Car
ter, by selecting him tie ono of the police magistrates.
The Alderman resides in the Third ward, and was
elected magistrate °tithe Second Police district, con
sisting of the Third and Fourth. wards. Neither of
these sections of the city have a Union representative in
the City Councils. Alderman Carter,,a life-long Demo
crat, could mot adhere to the craven principles prom at
gated by the loaders of that political organization after
the rebellion commenced. Ileaclected his country, in
stead of party, and enrolled himself among the staunch
Unionists of that part of our city. Re was thou a police
magistrate- ,One year ago lteVell a victim to the 9opper
head proclivities of the majority of City Councils, but
since that limo the intelligent people, of Philadelphia
made a sadical:chtinge in the programme, and the
Unionists are now in a majority in both branches. It
was eminently proper that such a man as Alderman
/ Carter should be nominated and replaced in the posi
tion from which he was displaced when the atmosphere
of the COuncil chamber was impregnated with the poi
sonar's:malaria of disu nion .-The Alderman' hag been
confined to his house for several mouths, with a re
attack of chronic rheumatism, and the honor thus con
ferred upon him, it luny be said; was without effort on
his part. Ittlakes the place of Alderman McMullin.
- stisztot. r.,
The witness in the case of Ashman, a car conductor,
who laeerated a boy, as mentioned yen terday, made a
mistake as to the name of the company. instead of
Snruce and Pine he should have said Race and Vino.
Ms mistake caused a misprint in yesterilay's Press.
