THE CITY.
OCR ARMY AT SAVANNAH.
Capt. George Smith, or the army, addressed a.
meeting of the Army Committee > or the,Young-
Men’s Christian Association last evening In refe
rence to the waste of the army or Gen Sherman
Alter the address a resolution was unanimously ,
agreed to, that we have heard with deep Interest
the statement of Captain Smith and fully endorse
him as a man and deeply sympathize with hint-in
Vila laudable and benevolent work of supplying the
army of General Sherman with fruits and vegeta- -
bles, and such other artloles as the Government
does not famish.
The committee would further state to the ottlzens
of Philadelphia .Smith is fully en
dorsed by General Crooks And-General oherman.
The committee would also suggest that while wo
are willing to contribute to the suffering citizens of
Savannah, we onght not to forget , the brave boys
who presented Savannah as a Christmas gift to the
nation. Subscriptions can be left at the rooms or

felons for thb army.
The cool and easy manner inwhioh some-of . the
members of the bar ask judges to permit felons to
go to the army as enlisted men, and not bo sent to
prison, Is really remarkable. A fellow headas!. mob
of three-soore ruffians, armed., with pistols, bricks,
and dubs, and proceeds, under false .oolors, tO ithe
eleotlon polls, where citizens are quietly depositing
their ballots. We say false colors, for In one ease
thaffwas recently tried It was shown that the‘mob
hallooed lor the Republican party, but the moment
they reached the poluthelr rallying cry was "Gain,
Democrats,” and every man within their reach was
felled to the earth who did not agreewith the views
of the leader of this gang. Broken limbs, out heads,
and very serious injuries ensued, yet the counsel for
this valiant leader asks that he be permitted to go
back to the army, where he has served. ... , .
In another case a lellow enters a store, plaees an
umbrella over his place of entry, and deliberately
proceeds to rob the premises, but is caught In the
aotTHIs counsel also asks that he be permitted to
enter the army. .
It Is simply a disgrace to the brave men who eon
stltnte our army to send felons among them as their
88S00ifttfiB
Any one who has served In the army will agree
with us that lawless characters are an Incumbrance,
and only in the way of brave men. It requires mo
ral oouruge to be enabled to stand np against the
bullets of an enemy, and It Is but qeldom that felons
possess this desideratum.
The men who steal in the army can always be
found among the stragglers in the rear,and never la
the face of the enemy.
The mothers, wives, sisters, and children of our
brave volunteers must feel the deep stigma attempt
ed to be placed on their relatives when they take up
a paper and see a request made that a felon shall
take rank with their dearly loved ones who are bat
tling against the enemy.
' TO PREVENT SKEDADDLING.
It Is Btated by our provost marshals that the num
ber of persons who leave their homes in anticipa
tion of a draft is as great as the number who leave
alter being drafted. A bill will shortly be pre
sented to our Legislature to meet these oases. This
bill declares that ail persohs who may leave their
homes or enrolment districts for the purpose of
avoiding military service, or who may conceal
themselves or refuse to report alter having been
notified of their being drafted, shall be deprived of
their right of citizenship within the Commonwealth,
and "shall be Incapable of Inheriting any estate
under the intestate laws of the Oommonwealthj%r
by contract acquiring, possessing, or disposing of
any re al or personal estate within the same. Any
officer of eleotlon knowingly receiving the vote of
any person so escaping military service shall be
liable to lndlotment for misdemeanor, and on oon
vietlon shall be fined in a sum not less than one
hundred dollars, and be Imprisoned for a term not
less than one month. Any person advising, assist
ing, harboring, or In any manner aiding In -the
esoape or concealment of the persons described and
provided for by this act, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, on conviction of the same, shall
be liable to fine and Imprisonment for not less than
three months.”
A REFORM MUCH NEEDED.
A correspondent desires the publication of the fol
lowing in The Press. It treats of a subject In which
almost everybody is Interested:
“ Your correspondent respectfully dlreots atten
tion to the danger to which the limbs and lives of citi
zens, men, women, 'slid children are exposed,
caused by the shrill and startling whistle of the
steam engines, In near proximity'to which few
horses of stay spirit can be controlled, especially In
the vicinity of the Market-street bridge, West Phila
delphia. Frequent accidents have of late occurred,
-which must be painful to every right-feeling mind.
Everybody may have noticed the death of James
Sharkey, recently published in The Press and Ledger,
oaueed by bis horses taking fright from the shrill
and horrid scream of the steam whistle, while cross
ing Market street, near the Media depot, a wortny
man, of respectable family, leaving four small chil
dren, the oldest only nine years of age, and a heart
broken widow, to mourn his untimely loss. We are
aware the object of tbe whistle Is to warn persons
of the approaching danger. It may do for pedestri
ans, but the danger to persons driving or riding in
'carriages, or on horseback, is increased. It is our
opinion that a bell, In such a locality, would be a
sufficient warning, and much safer, and on crossing
the streets the speed should be reduced to the rata
or four miles per hour. We write hoping you win
give the above your serious attention. We have
lost a good citizen, and a family has lost a fond hus
band and father, and their only dependence. With
all due regard for the honorable position that Mayor
Henry fills so satisfactorily, as a general thing, will
he, for humanity’s sake, abate a terrible nulsanoe
of such magnitude 1”
THE MERCHANTS’ FUND ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of the Merchants’ Fund As
sociation was held yesterday afternoon, at the
Board of Trade rooms. Mr. Thoa. O. Hand presided.
The annual report was read. It Bets out that of the
twelve perrons who, according to the last annual
report, were receiving aid from the fund, three had
died. The present number of beneficiaries Is ele
ven, all or whom are aged and Infirm, and some of
them were well-known, in.past years,as honest
merchants, ds well In tlmeß of prosperity as In the
days of disaster. One of them Is suffering
from paralysis; another with a diseased spine.
Since the last annual meeting two of the
-officers of tbe roolety have been removed by death,
Both were greatly lamented by their fellow-citizens.
One of them, the late Benjamin Gerhard, was one
ot the solicitors of the association,' and to him it is
due for much important legal service, for which he
refused compensation. The other, Dr. Robert F.
Thomas, was one of the physioians of the sooiety.
The donations during the year amount to *2,282.-
30, and were made to IS persona, in different
amounts. The reoeipts for the year amount to
*8,829.80, of which sum *5,600 was specially desig
nated by the donors to be applied to the permanent
fund. The snm of *5OO was received from the estate
of the late Bonneville Brown, and *5,000 from the
estate oi Joslsh Dawson.
By these gifts the permanent Investments are in
creased to *15,700. The managers return the thanks
of the society to the annual members, through
whose contributions they have been enabled to do
muoh good. They also express a hope that there
shall he snoh an increase of the permanent fund as
to give assurance of stability to tbe institution,
which cannot be so well secured by other means.
The tone benevolence of tbe society can be appre
ciated by those who have been brought in oontaet
with the wants it seeks to relieve, and wko know
the painful shrinking of men in their necessity from
reouving obligations whieh they, cannot hope to
repay.
Mr. E. A. Bonder expressed his opinion that the
sooiety was losing gronnd by reason of the seereoy
of its operations, None bnt the eommittee having
the matter In oharge knew the nameß or its benefi
ciaries, and he thought that some means should be
adopted to increase the number of,-its contributors.
Mr. John Welsh agreed with Mr. souder. He
thengbt that fifty bnsiness men oonld be found who
wonld mahe it their business to go around amongst
the merchants and raise funds. Each might raise
*4,000, and that wonld be a Bum sufficiently large to
allow the association tobxeroiao Its charity to a de
sirable extent.
Mr. John M.- Atwood also agreed with the re
marks of tho preceding speakers; There was no
snbtraotion from the benevolence of this charity.
The officers did duty without salary, aud proper ef
forts should be made to extend the usefulness of the
Society..
Sir. E. A. Sender moved that the president be au
thorized to appoint a committee of fifty memberß to
soliolt tbe names of those desirous of becoming*
members, and also to get donations for the perma
nent fund, and that each gentleman endeavor to
raise *4,0c0. . -
Tbe re eolation wauadopted.
An election of offlsbrs was then gone into. The
managers eonslst of twenty members—ten being
elected at each annual meeting, and the other ten
holding over.
President—John M. Atwood.

AN EXCITING‘CASE.
Between 8 and 9 o' clock on Monday evening the re
port of a pistol and screams issuing from a dwelling
noose on Sixth street, below Washington avenue, tlupw
that vicinity inio great excitement .Reports were free
ly circulated that a miltiaiy man had blown his wife’s
brains ont. touch a sanguinary deed, however, had
not been perpetrated. 3he facts of the case, so far as
gleaned from what may toe considered reliable sources,
are, that a certain captain who went out in a
hundred - days regiment returned at the expi
ration of the term. He then raised another com
pany without much difficulty, and proceeded again to
go service to the country, and for Borne time past ha*
been stationed at GallpoUs, Ohio. Be has a wife and
thrte or four children, whom he left in tolerably well
to-do circumstances. Desiring to have his family at
Galipolis, he arrived in this city a day or tw > since, and
commenced at once to make arrangements lbr the re
moval. Busy bodies poured poison into his ear, and he
Uttened. He was told how his wife had attended public
parties, dances, drc,; how aim was accompanied home
toy certain persons of ttoe masculine gander, at late
hours, die. It was for reasons such as these, and the
natuial suggestions that would necessarily occur to Ms
imisd, that he went home on Monday evening. What
absolutely did take place then and there U estheJy
private, and therefore cannot be publicly divulged.
Certain it Is, the report of the pistol awakened the most
intense excitement among the neighbors, and has fur
nished enough gossip for a fortnight. The Captain, in
the private walks of life, was much respected. Hie do
.mestic tranquillity, ot course, Is broken.

TEBTIMOKT OF THE GOROXBR.
Mr. Taylorn sworn. —I am the eoroner of the city and;
county of Philadelphia, and held an inquest on the
body of Irwin Donaghy on the 16th of September. 186 t,
at the Eighth-ward etaUon-houae; did nottnowhlm
when alive; there were no marks or bruises except one
on tbe head.
No cross-examination. .
TESTIMONY OF THE COEONER’B SURGEON.
Sbapleigh, M. D., sworn.—On 16th September la* t
I mad e a post mortem’ examination of the body at Dona
ghy.atthe Eighth-ward .station-house; there were two
contusions or braises on the head, one a slight one on
the forehead, another more serious and extensive be*
hind the left ear; the skin was not broken in either
bruise; there was some blood between the scalp antltha
skull behind the car; there was no fracture of the bones
of the skull dthe blood vessels of the brain were highly
congealed a large riot of blood was found resting in the
base of the brain; this clot of blood pressing upon the
brain was ti e Immediate cause of death; this clot was
from hemorrhage from a ruptured blood vessel of tbe
brain; the eoncnnlon had ruptured the blood vessels;
tbe blow, causing the contusion behind the ear must
have been a severe one; a smooth, hard instrument,
such as a stone, abrick, or a piece of board would have
produced the Injury; I don’t think, a billy could hare
canned the injury, or it wou-d have broken tbe skin or
the bones; don’t think such a blow could have been in
dicted by the fist; tbe fiat heel of a boot might produce
such a bruise, but that always produces some other
marks, that of nails, for instance: it is sot smooth
enough; tbe toe of a boot would have broken the skin;
It might have been produced by falling on a curb or
paving atone, or any smooth, bard surface.
Cross- examined.—The wound was not likely to have
been produced by the toe or heel of a boot.

The property of the Companycorisiatsof a tract of va
luable oil land of S 3 acres ini fee' simple, on the east side,
of the Allegheny river,- abont one mile below the town
of Franklin, Venango county, Pennsylvania. It has a
river frontage of about 62 rods, and’ the shipping facili
ties thus given, make the. locationian exceedingly ad
vantageous ope ixLthis respect. Inraddttlon, however,,
the Franklin and Pittsburg pike runs directly through
the Company ’a property, and the town of Franklin is
thus rendered of easy access.
The property has been carefully examined by A. com
mittee, and pronounced to be, in their judgment, most
valuable and excellent oil land. The lands in thU sea*
lion lave proved Wonderfnllyprodoetive in thick lubri
cating oil. Immediately below the Company’sproperty
Is the celebrated Cochran Farmland the Franklin Citi
zen, in noticing the new wells recently struck, says:
“One by Baie&Morrow, on October 12, on the Coch
rane Farm, two miles below Franklin, which yielded
240 barrels at the first forty-elrht hours* pumping, is
considered good for 10G barrels. John Lee,hasate-* ob
tained aflowing well, on the Martin Farm, just above'
tbe Hoover, and nearly opposite the Cochrane, which
flows over 60 barrels per day. Also, Mr. Hubs, who
on u» a lease on the Smith Farm, who has been pumping
four, barrels per day, at 408 feefc deep, sunk his well 424 ‘
feet, and etrnck a well giving 4f barrels per day. All
these strikes, have been within ton days, and the pros
pect'of a number more in a short time. ” -
On the Company’s property there are already two
wells. Well Ho. 1, near ihelower end, about 20 yards
.from the river, is sank about 620.feei and although
there is evidence of abmtid&hce br oil; the quantity of
gas and parfafine below prevents its being worked to
advantage anUl the double tubing machinery is appfied, -
as in the well on the CcchrMO PMm, yielding 60 babels
daily. Thecommitteereporttbat withdraw*
of the chambers from the well (Ho. 1). oil was thrown
upso feet above the surface. ? u Well No. 2is about the
same distance from the river, and about 60 yards from
well Ho. 1. Oil was obtaineu at about SOOfeet, but wis
deemed advisable to prosecute the boring oelowthe
third .sand*stone. The oil from'both these wells .is
thick lubricating oil. . . .
The committee who examines, the property of the
Company, at the same time examined other producing
tracts in its vicinity,- and they deem this to be one of
Jhe.choiseat In that rich oil region, needing slight ap
plication only to make it one of the most productive
and profitable. TheComp&ny proposes to push its de-.
velopment with the utmost energy.applyinr the newest'
and moat approved machinery to the wells on the pro -
pertr,ana sinking additional ones at the earliest period.
To those desiring investment In a well-founded Com-
Bany,8 any, the Directors present theSECttfilTF as one of
ae most. desirable and they ask that Its claims be care
fully considered. A working capital of 16,000 shares
has been reserved.

Creek (a branch of the Little Kanawha river), and Its
tributaries pass through this property, and Uhas mppn
It a larger amount of boring territory than is owned by
any other company in West Virginia. It is situated in

greater, and is considered by all experienced oil men
familiar with the oU district of west Virginia quite
equal, if not superior, to the Bathbone tract,
