Another Fire in Allentown
By the praiseworthy action of a number
of our citizens, what might have been a very de
structive fire was suppressed and the surround
buildings saved,
,wlthout even the alarm of "lire"
being raised. Last Wednesday night about 12
o'clock, the stable of Mr. Gideon ftortz, on Church
alley near Liberty street, was discovered to be on
fire and the flames were actually bursting out of
the doors anti windows: The neighbors got to
work at once to subdue the flames and labored
with such zeal its to succeed in. extinguishing
them without .any other loss being incurred tints
the destruction'of the hay stored in the building.
A cow was In the stable but was got out uninjur
ed. The lire Is supposed to have bcen the work
of amincendinry and it.would be well fur our po
lice to keep a vigilant eye for sigh offenders and
If possible to bring them. to Justice. Ton much
praise cannot be awarded to those, wlmsoprotnpt
ly wentto work and stayed the-progress of the
fire. Such presence of mind In a moment of ex
citement le worthy of commemintion, 'and we
doubt not the safety of our city from the devour
ing element has often been due to title character
title of one people. •
Jordan Rolling Mill
The Jordan Rolling Mill Is to be started '
again next week under the management of n new
Superintendent, Mr. John Downing.
Public sale
In another part of our issue will he found
the advertisement of the Lehigh County Agricul
tural Society. The animals they offer for Hale,
are worthy the Inspection of any one Interested In
agrieultural pursuits and who Wiesen Interest In
the raising of line stock.
VlWary to Visit
e understand the National Artillery, of
Norristown, numbering about one hundred and
fifty men, Captain Edward Schell commanding,
contemplate making a tour the coming summer,
during which they will visit Allentown, Reading
and Easton. We hope our citizens will give them
a hearty welcome.
Warner's Skating Park
We are glad to announce that skating at
Warner's Park Is no longer a myth. The Ire Is.
good, and excellent skating Is to be had there and
we shall be pleased to see our citizens patronizing
Mr. Warner, whose public spirited efforts to sup
ply the people of Allentown with the means of In
dulging In this healthful recreation, deserve re
cognition and, support.
New Restaurant
- • •
On Hamilton, between'Sixth and Seventh
streets, Mr. CharlesLaudensehlager has opened a
new Restaurant and has fitted it up In first-class
style. Its central situation and the complete sep
aration of the bar-room from the rest of the estab
lishment, are likely to make this place very popu
lar, and we have no doubt the proprietor will sus
tain kW reputation as a first-class caterer.
Columbia Overcoats
The members of the Columbia Fire Com
pany were measured for new overcoats, on Friday
evening, and we shall soon see the boys In "gorge
ous array." On parade, when lire companies
visit our city, the neat appearance of our firemen
Is very creditable to themselves and the city, and
when they have their work to do, as late fires
have proven, they show themselves able to fulfil
the arduous duties of their self-sacrificing profes
sion as well as Join In Its festivities. The history
of the world shows that great results must follow
when-" Columbia" goes to work with a " Good
will."
Nuisance at the Jail
Citizens residing in the vicinity of the jail
are much annoyed by the unruly conduct of the
prisoners. Night after night the Most unearthly
MAT, ore made by them, and front a late hour
until sometimes midnight, they sing, yell and
shout In a way to disturb the whole neighborhood
and alarm the children and the aged and sick
who are waked out of their sleep. Whoever Is
responsible for these things, should see to It that
it is stopped at once. Diecipline is one of the es
sentials of prison government, and offenders
against the law must not be allowed fio wantonly
and defiantly annoy the public.
Yogthful Shophfter*
On Monday evening, three young girls,
each about fifteen years of age, entered the stores
of Peter Wenner, L. C. Huber and Mr. Fenster
metier, apparently with the Intention of making
purchases. At Wenner's they took some groceries,
nC Fenstermacher's they stole two boxes or figs,
and ut L. C. Huber's, the clerk noticing they bud
grown fat after entering the store, accused them
of thieving and upon searching discovered about
thirty dollars worth of dry goods and trimmings,
together with the goods stolen fromthe other stores,
concealed in a basket and under the shawls ana
cloaks of the young maidens. They were taken
before Alderman Whitman, but a prosecution was
waived and they were released.
Counterfeit Fire Cent PIeCCA in Circulation
These counterfeits are in circulation and
without doubt many of them are In Allentown,.
but as the best of them cannot be detected except
by experts, it Is of little use warning people against
them. The Assessor et the U. S. Mint has de
clared some specimens to be so good us scarcely
to be detected, except by the weight. As it Is not
likely folks are goluglo weigh every one they are
offered, we suppose the good and the bad will be
considered of equal value by a majority of the peo
ple and the counterfeiters will grow rich. it has
been stated that it is in contemplation to recall
the whole Issue and give Mr. Counterfeiter a more
difficult task to execute.
These men, In the prosecution of their nefarious
and hazardous business, display an ingenuity and
perseverance in overcoming .diMcultles that, If
exercised legitimately, would certainly attain for
them eminence and distinction, and yet, such is
the fascination of crime, they prefer to misuse
their talents, and in most cases reap their reward
In a miserable life and at disgraceful death.
Fire Again.—First irtrd
The necessity of a steamer for the First
Ward, was very clearly demonstrated and the
efficiency of the new fire company plainly proved
by the fire which occurred there on Monday morn-
Mg. Between 11 and 12 o'clock, two of the new ;
buildings iu course of erection by Mr. Colt, on
Water alley near Turner street, were discovered
to be on tire. The first intimation given was the
thick smoke seen issuing front the doors and win
dows, and it was then discovered that the lire was
spreading rapidly between the ceiling of the lower
story nod the first floor. The Vigilant Fire Com
pany quickly' turned out and aided by the citizens
proved themselves' worthy of the name. With
only buckets to carry the water, they by-tremen
dous exertions succeeded in subduing the Baines
and preventing a disastrous conflagration. The
prevailing high wind and the proximity •f Mr.
Cole's lumber yard, caused fears to be entertained
that an extensive tiro was inevitable and the thanks
of the citizens are due to the Vigilant Fire Com
pany and to the citizens who aided them that
these fears were nut realized. The promptitude
with which the flumes were extinguished explains
the fact that the alarm never reached the upper
portion of the city. It will be a good thing for
the inhabitants of the First Ward, If this accident
! results in a more generous support to their newly
organized fire company.
Shoplifting in Allentown
A Mrs. John Rudolph, of Eighth street, has
lately left town under very disgraceful circum
stances. • She hue been In the habit, for some time
past, of going to the store of Mr. Gressley, corner
of Seventh and Chew streets, and there buying
her dry goods, etc. The early morning she has
chosen for her operations, and entering the store,
would ask for some article that was kept in the
cellar, which of course the clerk bad to fetch. At
that hour lu the, morning there would, In all prob
be but one clerk in the store and Mrs. Ru
dolph had a clear coast for her operations. On
the return of the clerk she would pay for what she
had ordered and then leave the store. Time after
thno articles of, value were missed—pieces of
goods, balmoral Wan, etc.,—and no one kbew on
whom to fasten suspicion. At length the frequency
of her visits at such an early hour, and the singu
larity of the fact that the goods she wanted had ,
to be fetched from the cellar, excited suspicion '
On the occasion of her next visit, a clerk was con:
coaled in the Store, and she was seen by him to
hide some articles under her clothing. Ou being
accused of the theft she denied it at first, most
strenuously, but it promise being made that she
should nut be prosecuted If she gave up the goods,
site restored them. Subsequently, she sent a little
girl with several articicii, which she declared were
all she had ever taken; but it hue since transpired
that she has Bold a shawl and balmond skirt and
offered other articles for sale, to her neighbors.
Site has always accounted for the possession of
the goods by saying her husband had traded for
them In the country. lice husband declares his
ignorance of any such transactions and she has
levanted to Baltimore.
Officer Hofford, armed with u search warrant,
went to the house, but no trace of stolen goods
could he discovered. Mrs. Rudolph, we believe,
had hitherto enjoyed a fair reputation and the dis
covery of her guilt has been a severe shock to her
former friends. .k warrant for her arrest is In the
hands of the pollee, and If she should ever return
to Allentown, she Is likely Co hove nn. Intimate

The production of iron ore in Pennsylvania
for the 'year 1869 has been as follows: Pig Iron,
065,000 tons ; for 1869 against 872,000 tone 11
1868; Increase, 03,000 tune, the sales of the pro
duet being about $34,000,000 or very little beyond
the lesser quantity of last year. From forges and
blootuerles, 31,000 tons; rails, 280.000 tons; other
forms of manufactured, 271,000 tons; increase,
31,000 tons. The added value on the manufac
tured article may be fairly estimated at $35,000,-
000 showing a total productive valee of fully $69,-
000,000, with an Increase In total quantity from
1,424,157 tons to 1,563,000 tone.
The Lehigh Crane Iron company have been
the repellants In three sults, (brought respectively
by John 11. Troxell, David Trpxell and Michael
:Munich), which were Instituted for the recovery
of damages' alleged to have been sustained by the
complainants, in consequence of the company al
lowing the muddy water toescape from their dams
and thus rendering the waters . of the Lehigh River
impure. The complainants all reside on the banks
of the Lehigh and alleged that the said impurity
of the water rendered it unfit for ordinary domestic
and farming use.. The mud dam at Guth's ore
bed, near the Jordan Creek, Is the dam particu
larly referred to In the above complaint. • The
arbitrators, after a session of six days, awarded
each plaintiff one hundred and sixty dollars and
costs. Quite a number of sults are now pending,
involving the same questions of law and probably
this decision will result in the settlement of many
of.them, If not all. - The law seems to be clear In
the case, that where any damage can he shlown as
the result of the operations of any company or In
dividual' they will be held responsible and must
make good the loss.

On Thursday morning a disastrous fire 'oc
curred at the store house of Messrs. Voorhees
Shliner, situated on Church street, Euston. The
store house was situated Just in the rear of Messrs.
Voorhees da Shimer's drug store, and was used
for the stewing of large packages of chemicals and
drugs. It contained at the time of the fire a large
quantity of goods on each floor. These valuable
goods have all been completely ruined by fire and
water. The building was insured for $l,OOO and
is the property of Alexander Wilson, Esq. It is
feared the foundation has been injured, but if this
should prove not to be the case, this insurance
will probably cover the loss. The stock destroyed
is variously estimated from $5OOO to $6OOO and
was insured In Northampton for $l.lOO, York,
l's, 81,250 and In the Beacon, $l,OOO. It is general
ly believed that the fire was occasioned by sponta
neous combustion of some of the chemicals, but
the proprietorlieuspect Incendirtrism. '
ACC:DENT AT 110M.:NDAUCitiA
On Saturday morning Joseph Sharpe, em
ployed at the nokendatiqua Iron Works, met with
his death under very singular and distressing cir
cumstances. lie was wheeling a barrow load of
Iron ore up an inclined plank, for the purpose of
loading a car, when he slipped and fell between
the car and the wharf. The heavy barrow and
its load fell upod him striking him a fearful blow
on the back of the head and he was 'almost in
stantly killed, breathing only for a few minutes
alter assistance bad arrived. This accident was
not the result of any carelessness on the part of
the unfortunate deceased. The plank, wet from
Friday's rain, had frozen during the-night and in
some places was as smooth as glass, so that foot
hold was very precarious. The fact of his hands
being engaged with the barrow, made It impossible
for him to recover his balance or to grasp at the
plank as he fell. This sad accident seems to have
made a deep Impression on the fellow workmen of
deceased, among whom he bad many friends.
JOHN HOCKEY VS. ERWIN BURKHALTER
A case •of considerable local interest was
tried last week lu the DistiA — Cotart, No. 1, City
of Philadelphia. The case was one that In law Is
called " a case of [rover and conversion," in which
John Hockey was plaintiff and Erwin Burkhalter
defendant.. Both parties reside at or in the neigh
borhood of Coopersburg, and the plaintiff claimed
$4500 for hides, alleged to have been sent to de
fendant to tan, and that out of some $9OOO worth
sent defendant had kept hides to the value of $45210.
Defendant alleged that there was an agreement,
between himself and Hockey, that the hides should
hetanned at 12 cents per pound. For calf skin he
Will to havel:l2l,l cents each and for kips 91.55,
and was to receive his payment in hides. Pre'vl-

CONFERENCE OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHER
AS SYNOD-THE CASE O 1 ST. PAUL'S
MEM
The Conference of the Evangelical Luther
an Synod of Pennsylvania, (Second District.) held
Its Meetings last week. The much talked of case of
St. Paul's German Lutheran Church, has occupied
their attention and been disposed of, but an official
report of their proceedings has not yet been pub
lished. All we are enabled to lay before our
readers Is simply the resolutions adopted without
a word as to bow they ware arrived at. The pub
lic has a great Interest In the proceeding of such
an assembly and we regret that we are unable to
make our report fuller, for the benefit of the Eng
lish portion of the community.
The Conference adopted the following Report:
1. After an examination of the papers handed.
to the Committee, andihearing the statements of
the two brethren representing the respective par
ties In the church, your Committee learned that
the resolutions adopted last July, at the meeting
of Conference held in Allentown, having reference
to the election held on last Easter Monday, bad
not been complied with. The Church Council,
however, declares Itself ready to hold an election
for two sets of offleers'on next Easter Monday.
At this point of the proceedings the five mem
bers of the Council, elected last year, publicly ten
dered their resignations to take effect on next FAO , -
tee Monday. The complainants declared them
selves satisfied with thin.
2. Inasmuch no different opinions exist with
reference to the elections to be held In the future,
your Committee deems It necessary to direct at
tention to a proper answer to the question, " who
mialilled to vote?" by declaring that:the entire
oth Article of the by-laws must be taken into con
sideration; nod not only the first section of It, eo
that only those persons can be refused a vote.
who have been excluded from the church by disci
pline in accordance with Article 2d, and Si.
Matthew 10.
3. With reference to the third point, how pro
tracted meetings and prayer meetings should be
held In the church, the Church Council conceded
that they were held as the complainants set forth,
and inasmuch as Conference had already express
ed its opinion upon this point, therefore
Reitolva', That we simply direct them to that
opininn, which is-that we cannot regard the
Method and manner In which these. protracted
meetings and prayer meetings are held as in ac
cordance with the practice of the Lutheran Church.
After Conference bad adopted the above report,
the Church Council declared itself sntisfied, and
asked advice as to how the weekly services of the
church shoithibe conducted?
The answer was that In general they should
regulate themselves by the order prescribed In the
Liturgy, until Synod nt its next meeting gives a
more complete answer:
Rev. Brobst read a paper on prayer meetings
and protracted meetings, which, In twelve points,
set forth what Is, and whet Is not, Lutheran In
such meetings. By resolution of Conference It
was ordered to he printed In the ZolurArifi.

Dr. Heading has introduced a bill into the

An engineer has been ordered to be appoint

Norristown and Lansdale, and It is now certain
work will be commenced during the Spring. Its

LETTER FROM CLAINSVILLE
(21.Aussr9Li.n,Feb. 221, 1870
News la very scarce. The wenther has been
so mild that our farmers have done their Spring
plowing already. They now only attend the ven
dues, which are very numerous Indeed, sometimes
two and three In one day, and soon they will have
their moving to look after.
A vendue took place to-day, on the farm of
John and Frank Knerr, who are going to leave
Lowhlll for your city. They have contemplated
moving since last March.
Mr. Reuben Diehl, blacksmith at Clnuaen9lle,
ban made arrangements to move his business to
the "Leather Corner Post.''
Last week Richard J. Knerr, our stotekeeper,
sent to New York 275 bushels of clover seed, which
was quite a large shipment of so valuable an ar
ticle. But Claussville is growing In enterprise
and population also, as you would think if you
now the number of children on our streets.
The Debating Society was still flourishing at the
last two meetings. Court was hold, mock trials
were conducted, and it would have done many a
learned Judge good to have heard tne pleadings of
the amateur attorneys. Next week the debate
will be held at Rupp's School House, and the ques
tion to be discussed Is, "Shall Polygamy be abol
ished by the Government, and. If necessary, by the
sword,?
The last snow had a very severe effect upon one
of our mail lines, the Kutztown and Schneeks.

two week,<. Some of the pmt toasters are uneasy,
not knowing whether they are compelled to go to
Kutztown after the mail or not,.and the people
living on the route had not seen the REGISTER or

them with his copy.

Chortali• Nation, •
PERRYVILLE, INMAN TERRITORY, Feb. 3, 1870
Correftpoiderere tpf The Lehigh Register
On the finth received orders from U. S.
Marshal Britton, to proceed to Fort Smith, Join
Marshals Brown and McLemore and accompany
them Into the Nation. Two hours ride . brought
me to the city, which four years ago numbered
only one thousand inhabitants, but now boasts of
a population of over three thousand. It is the scat
of Sebastian County, and strong efforts are now
being 'node to have the Circuit and District Courts
removed thither from Van Soren, which meets
with the hearty approbation of nearly ell parties
interested, shire Fort Smith affords superior tie
commodations In' comparison to Van 80re,,.
Prominent among the distinguished citizens of
Fort Smith, are Generals Cooper and Cabbell
confederate officers and Colonel Fishhook, who
organized the 4th Regiment, Arkansas Union
Cavalry. I bad the pleasure of meeting Colonel
Woolley, a resident of Van Buren, previous to the
"onpleasantness," but who has resided In Texas,
ever since the close of the war. He has returned
to look after some matters of business.
• left Fort Smith on the morning, of the 30th
ult., and after a ride of Seven miles drew rein Is
front of H. Miekle's farm horse, who requested u.,
to remain and enjoy his hospitality until the fol
lowing morning, when he, with several others
would accompany us to this place. We readily
consented. and did ample justice ton good dinner.
In the afternoon we were Joined by Lewis Miller,
of Fort Smith, who was to bd one of our party, and
who interested the company, in the evening, with
tales of hl thrilling adventures among the In
dians and miraculous escapes.
On the following morning the sun rose bright
and clear, giving indications of a pleasant day:
Our party, which now consisted of five, left at It
a, nn. and in half-an-hour crossed the line of the
Choctaw Nation, when " Lo ! the poor Indian,"
was the chief object of interest. We met but very
few until after our arrival at Scullyville, the home
of ex-Governor Walker, member of Council.
Evening found us at the residence of Mr. Burke,
a white man, whose better-half, however, is a
Choctaw. One year's residence in the Nation en
titles a man to an . Indian wife, and vim verm.
But no one is to refer front this than two year's
residence entitles him to two, yet some " seem" to
view the law in that light. Two charming young
widows, related to Gov. Walker and residing at
Scullyville, are watching and waiting, not for a
Hiawatha, but forsevertil pale-farce to make their
appearance, and win, woo and wed them. The
httle papooses in the vicinity of Burke's are taught
by a Cincinnati lady, and I ant informed are pro
gressing finely.
By S o'clock on the . followirig morning, wit
were again on the tramp. After proceeding a few
miles, we ascended an eminence, when a bread
prairie WAS spread out before us, bounded on the
south 'by a chain. of mountains, which looked
beautiful in the distance. After crossing the
prairie, we entered the Big Narrows, at the west
end of which lives John McCurden," a big Inilu,"
member • of the Choctaw Council. lie was absent,
having gone to Tishomingo to draw this year's
annuity for the Indians in his immediate vicinity.
Although very wealthy, he iivoe in a log cabin.
Proceeding ten miles further, we put up for the
night and were treated with hospitality. A mult
i her oft migrants camped across the road from us.
They for merly lived in Beaton County, Arkansas,
had gone to Texas a few yearn ago, but, becoming
tired, "packed their duds," and are now retracing
their steps to the land where people lived in
peace and harmony.' •
!There are thoustinds of acres of waste land in
the Choctaw Nation, which will never be culti
vated as long no the whites are dented the privil
ege of settling thereon. A few Indians are Indus
trious and cultivate hundreds of twice, but the
majority of them are indolent audgive upon the
bounty of others. There are, however, more re
fined than the ragged and dirty 'Omahas and
Pawnees of Nebroska. The present seat of gov
ernment- of the Choctaw Nation Is .‘ Chahm
Tamaha," but will soon be removed to " Moosho.
latublee Mamba," situated on the road leading
from Fort Biiiith to Doggy Depot. We shall re
