A few days since we paid a hurried
viit to the mail audience room of the M. E.
Church, now rapidly receiving the finishing
r niches, preparatory to the Dedication on
Thursday next We were not long in dis
iovering that our Methodist brethren were
admirably succeeding in securing for them
selves, oua of the finest rooms for public
worship iu this section of country.
The size of the room is 42 by 65 feet, on
the main floor, in the clear, with an addi
tion of .yime 15 feet in depth of gallery, and
will contain ? 6 scats, seating comfortably COO
j'r.s:i, and with a little crowding TOO peo
ple. The pulpit is plain yet very neat, and
the conveniences fur the clergy most ample
aud admirably arranged. The pews are built
after the latest approved style, and are mo
dels of neatness aud comfort not the kind
that will induce lolling and dozing, during
nTvice, but such as will enable the occupant
to set comfortably, while he takes the word
as expjunded, Sabbath after Sabbath, from
the sacred desk. The trimmings of pews,
pulpit and altar are of black walnut, and are
very neat specimens of workmanship. The
windows, which are modeled in correct taste,
and well proportioned, are glazed with stained
glass. They are the finest and make the
licst display of any we ever saw. They are
ornamented with scriptural emblems, finished
in the neatest possible style, and are a cred
it to their manufacturers, as well as to the
liberal spirit of the congregation which sanc
tioned their purchase. The glass cost about
$000.
We have hoard nothing of the whole cost
of the remodeling, or rather the rebuilding
of the Church, but presume we may safely
say that it runs somewhere up into the thou
sands of dollars. Be the cost what it rnay
the whole thing reflects credit upon all con
corned in its commencement, progress and
completion uj-n congregation and friends
for their couscnt to the work and the liberal
ity, thus far, of their subrcription ; upon the
former pastor lie v. Mr. llidgway for the
persevering manner iu which he clung to the
work until it was under roof; upon the pre
sent pastor, the llev. Mr. McConnell for his
skill iu devLing means, and liLs steady pav
ing ofwaystoits present near completion,
and to the building committee for their
straight forward march, turning neither to
the tight nor to the left, from the founda
tion stones to the topmost point of the spire.
"While the church is a model of conven

the congregation, we feci happy to say that
it is, lyound a doubt, an ornament of which

OlR SCUASTOX LETTEH.
. SCRANTON, July 15, 1871.
FRIEND Scuocii : For six long months the
great coal monopolies throughout this region
were lying dormant. Thirty-thousand men,
whose daily avocations required them to pene
trate the bowels of the earth, and engage them
selves in the very perilous tasks of mining the
"black diamond," were walking the streets
with their haniU in their pocket, many of
whom could illy afford to remain idle for so
long a time, inasmuch as they had large fami
lies dependent upon them for support. And
what was the immediate cause of this long
continued suspension ? Was it because of the
men refusing to perform the labor at a fair
ratio of wages. We answer No ! It was be
cause of the desire of monopolists capitalists
to crush and reduce the price of labor to
the very lowest farthing, in order that their
coffers might be filled to overflowing. The
results of this suspension were apparent in
every quarter the merchants, manufacturers
and laboring men all feeling the weight of
the depressing financial crisis to a very great
extent. The masses finally became exaspera
ted, and the scenes which followed were dis
graceful in the extreme. Arson, bloodshed
and murder were witnessed and perpetrated
upon ou r streets, and finally the military of
the State were called into requisition to sub
due the mob. In a short time after a settle
ment of the difficulties existing between the
miners and the companies was effected, and
work was resumed at once, since which time
our thriving young city has resumed her usual
business activity. Almost immediately upon a
resumption of operations in the mining inter
ests of this valley, however, and just as every
one had began to realize a "change for the
better," the news of the terrible disaster at
West Pittston a repetition of those horri
ble scens at Avondale was heralded
throughout the country. Eighteen more
human beings had entered the mines on that
fatal day to pursue the usual avocations, who
were never aga in to witness the light of day
while others who were permitted to again
reach terra finna, were so horribly mangled
and stiflled fre-m the impure air which they
had indulged that they servived but a short
time. Upon whose shoulders should the cause'
of this horrible accident rest ? A Mine inspec
tor, who receives a large salary, is appointed
for the purpose of attending to the safety of
the mines, in order that the lives of the miners
might not be endangered, and while he must
have known that this company were working
their mine in direct violation of the Mine
Ventilation Law, the above question very
naturally arises. At the time of the Avon
dale horror, by which upwards of a hundred
human beings were hurried into enternity, a
law was passed by our State Legislature,
requiring that a second opening be made to
each mine, so that in case of an accident of
any description, the men could have an avenue
of escape, and, that this comp:ny had failed to
comply with the requirements of that law,
thereby causing the loss of the lives of another
score of humin beings, is a self-evident fact.
It is to be hoped that the guilty parties may
be speedily brought to justice. That the life
of a miner is at best a hazzardous one, is a fact
that cannot be denied. Almost daily the
journals of thi3 city are called upon to chroni
cle the instant death or horrible manarlinsr of
some poor creature about the mine.?, and we
contend that they should be very liberally re
munerated for their labor, and that every pre
caution looking to their safety should be strict
ly adheared to.
- On Sunday evening last our community
was again startled with the fact that another
murder had been comruitUsd in our midst. It
appears that Henry Art and Wei. Fenticost,
the former a most notorious rough, happened
to meet in one of the low groggeries which
infest that portion of our city known as the
Flats, botli of them being more or less under
the influence of benzine. Mr. Fenticost whom
it appears was rather pugilistically inclined,
offered to fight any man in the house. In a
short time after this he (Fenticost), started for
hL Lome, when he was followed by Art, and
when a short distance from the house, Art
drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed him
a number of time3 around the face and head,
when Fenticost fell to the ground. Art then
jumped upon his neck and commenced kicking
him about the head and face, causing wounds
from which Fenticost soon expired. Art then
fled, and it was not until a late hour on Sun
day night that he was found and confined in
the lock-up. On Monday the prisoner was
taken to AVilkes- Karre, where he will remain
until his case is finally disposed of in the
courts. Mr. Fenticost was an unmarried man,
abont 35 years of age, and, by his usual steady
conduct and gentlemanly deportment, had won
a lanre circle of friends.
The weather for the past two weeks has, in
deed, been unsettled, and very warm, the mer
cury indicating, at times, 93 deg: in the shade.
We have, also, each day been visited by very
copious showers, which have been the means
of raising the streams in this vicinity, consid
erably.
A new Democratic daily paper is to be is
sued in this city in a short time. A first das-
Democratic paper in this section is a thing
sadly needed by that truly demorlized party.
Critic.
An Unprecedented Crop of Peaches.
The Delaware peach crop is beginning
to come forward in good quantities. The
variety known as "Hale's Early" will be
abundant in this market this week, and a
few days later the supply is likely to he
unprecedented. One advices from Mil
ford, Lincoln and vicinity are to the effect
that a yield may be effected considerably
in excess of last year's, the crop looking
splendidly. The fruit is not yet, how
ever, really first class, little if any of it
being entirely ripe. Considering the im
mense quantities of it likely to be on
hand this season, however, there is no
room to wonder that the growers get all
they can to market as soon as possible.

There passed through Cumberland,

There are five railroad kings in this
country that control railroad property

of monetary power.
It is said that one of the Siamese twins

Mr. David Ziegler, of Upper Macungie,

Judge Paxson, of Philadelphia, has de
cided that a procession has no right to in
terrupt the ordinary travel on a street.
The Mayor had issued orders that no
street cars should be allowed to cross the
streets so long as the German procession
was passing. A superintendent of one of
the line3 endeavored to force his cars
through a gap iD the procession, but he
was prevented by a police officer. The
superintendent sued the officer for assault
and battery, aud won his case. The de
cision is based on common sense. A pro
cession that takes an unusual length of
time to pas3 has no right to stop citizens
or put them to any inconvience to gratify
its own whims.
C. A. Trench, at Light street Colum
bia County, Pa., has built an office en

factured in his mill expressly for the

and the only wood in the structure is the
floors, doors and windows. The house is
an experiment.
A darkey was boasting to a grocer of
the cheapneas often pounds of sugar he
had bought at a rival shop. "Let me
weigh the package," said the grocer.
The darkey assented, and it was two
pounds short. The "colored gentleman"
looked perplexed for a moment and then
said: '"Guess he didn't cheat dis chile
much, for while he was gcttin' de sugar,
I stole two pair of shoes."

Mr Carnum is most respectfully in
formed that the minute manikin of a baby
has been born in Manchester, Vt. It
weighed, upon entering this great world,
only 24 ounces; its face may be covered
by an old fashioned cent, and a lady's
finger-ring can be supped on its arm.
It is a litle baby and no mistake, and
whnt a contrast it would make to even the
smallest giant in Mr. Iiarnum's menagerie!

ORANGE CELBRBATI0N.
RIOT IX NEW YORK.
Sixty Killed and many Wonnded.
July 12, the Anniversary of the victo
ry achieved in 1690 by William III., one
King of England, over James II,. ano
ther King, involving a triumph over
Catholicism in the world, and establish
ing a perpetual feud , between protestan
and catholic Irishmen everywhere, was a
day of excitement and not in New i ork
Fearing trouble the city authorities on
Tuesday issued an order prohibiting the
parade or the Orangemen, on the ground
that it was likely to "provoke riot and
bloodished, and that it was improper to
perpetuate lll leeling by celebrating in
this country events which occurred under
different rule in another, and with which
many citizens could not sympathize.
Last Tuesday evening Governor Iloff
man, hastened to New York and, order
ing the revocation of the prohibitory or
der, issued a proclamation that the right
of the citizens of the State to assemble,
and to parade if they chose, should be
protected by all the military of the State
if necessary.
The Orangemen therefore made ready
and at an early hour on Wednesday the
procession was formed and the parade
began.
The streets of the city were thronged
and the excitement was intense.
The police were out in full force, as
was also the military.
At 29th. street and eighth avenue the
mob which had gathered, attempt to force
its way through the baricade of policemen
Firing and fighting soon began on both
sides, and several were killed and wound
ed. An order was given to the military to
fire, and they did fire, killing a large
number and wounded many more.
Many spectators, who were taking no
part in the mob were injured.
The latest reports put the number of
killed at fiffy-six and the wounded at
about two hundred.
Philadelphia Provision Market.
The favorable weather of the past few
weeks has tended to the quick growth of
vegetables and fruit, and tho markets are
now pretty much overstocked with both.
White potatoes are very abundant, and in

The "Pain Killer" may justly be'styled the
great medicine of thevorld, for there is no re
gion of the elobe into which it has not foum:
its way, and been largely used and highly
prized. Moreover, there is no claim to whicl
it has not proved to be well adapted for the
cure of a considerable varietv of diseases : it i,
a speedy and safe remedv for burns, scalds, cuts,
bruises, wounds and various other injuries, as
well as for dvsenterv, diarrhoea and bowel com
plaints generally, it is admirably suited for
every race of men on the face of the "lobe.
It is a very shrnifieent fact, that notwithstand
inr the loner period ofyeara that the "Pah
Killer" has been before the world, it ha3 never
lost one whit of its popularity, but, on the
contrary, the call for it has steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous timo
lias tne demand for it been so great, or the
quantity made been so large, a it is to-dav.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the Fain Killer ever been in higher repute, or
been more generally used by families and indi
viduals, than it has been here at home, where
it was first discovered and introduced. That
the Fain Killer will continue to be, what we
have styled it the great medicine of the world,
