o'clock, the alarm of fire was caused by the burn
ing of the boiler hinise at riausman's oil refinery.
The Good Will steamer and hose carriage pro
ceeded to the fire and rendered efficient service in
extinguishing the flames. Mr. Hausman says it
is miraculous that the whole works were not de
stroyed. The stilling process was kept up during
the Ore and has been going on ever since. An
other building of the same kind could be erected
for seventy-five dollars. but It Is the Intention to
put up a larger and more substantial house.

day night, the money and ticket drawer at the
Quakertown elation, on the North Penn. Railroad,
wan robbed. Only lilty cents was In tile drawer,,
with a couple of tickets, and the later were
dropped In the Immediate vicinity of the station.
The engineer of the express train up, Wednesday,
noticed two suspicious looking characters near

POLITICAL.—Morgan R. Wills, of the Nor
ristown Herald, and Henry S. Evans, of the West
Chester Record, are candidates for the Republican
Senatorial nomination In the District composed of
Delaware, Montgomery and Chester. Chester
and Delaware formerly composed a Senatorial
District electing one Senator. The three counties
now elect two Senators. Delaware is represented
in the Slate Senate by lion. H. Jones Brooke, and
Chester has the Congressman. The nomination
this year, therefore; rightfully belongs to Mont
gomery, but Chester appears to be avaricious and
there Is likely to be a contest. The nomination of
a Senatorial candidate who is popular with the
Montgomery county people will have an effect in
banging out a large Republican vote for Congress
and will Interferomaterially with the Democratic
majority lu this District.
FATAL ACCIDENT—SIX MEN KILLED.—A
terrible accident occurred on Monday morning
of last week at Preston Slope, No. 1, at
Gerurdville, Schuylkill county, by' which six
men were killed and one fatally wounded. A
cage got off the track, and the wagon con
taining seven men was thrown off by coming
in contact with the top timber, which precipi•
tatted them to the bottom of the slope a
t Tof about 100 yards. The following are
C•. • names of the killed : George Taylor, John
oylor, Thomas Robins, Michael Weld, Plall
lip Farley, and Thomas Bourke. Wan Taylor
lost ono foot, and was otherwise seriously and
probably fatally Injured. The three Taylors
were brothers. All the men, with one excep
tion, leave large families.
NEW CEMETERY.—PVC take great pleasure
in announcing team public the fact that a Ceme
tery Association has Just been formed by Messrs.
George Frey, Franklin DM. .Kramer, J. J. Stein,
Charles Eckert, William Mantle, Reuben S.
Shliner and Charles Kline, for the purpose of le
catiug a new cemetery on the elevation Mullein
atelY South of this city, on the Entails road.
The site Is one of the most beautiful and eligible
that could have been selected any where in or
around this place, aud as the grounds comprise
about thirty acres, it may safely be predicted that
this will speedily become a very desirable place
to bury the dead.
In view of the fact that all the cemeteries is this
elty are rapidly filling up, M which lots are be
coming scarce and high in price, and since the
city is stretching out its limits incessantly and
will soon surround them, it becomes very Impor
tant that another burial place should be provided
. a convenient distance from the immediate ag
gressions of the city. It Is to be hoped, therefore,
that the people will take an Immediate interest in
this laudable enterprise.
LOVE nis Hosts.—A South Bethlehem gen
tleman writes to the Progress, last week, as fol
lows :—I noticed in your paper last week a sug
gestion to incorporate all the different Bethlehems
into ono and make a city out of thee]. I do not
think the time has yet arrived for doing that ; as
some of the places are still In Lehigh county. We
must have the new county formed before that can
be thought of. What we want at present Is is bet
ter and more distinctive name for our town. We
number very nearly as s u nn y as Bethlehem ; and
when our borough limits are enlarged, which will
soon be the case, we wilt have at least 4,200 pop
ulation. Therefore I think we should have a
name suitable to the place. There Is not a town
in the Lehigh Valley Improving faster than ours,
and at present Bethlehem gets
credit for every
thing. In reading the newspapers, you will .al
ways see that the Lehigh Iniversity Is situated
In Bethlehem. Give us another name; and we
will get credit when it is due us. Keep the ball
moving, and we will be successful. LEHIGH.

THE STATE FAIIL—It appears to be the
policy of the State Agricultural Society that every
portion of the State shall have a chance to shiiw
the progress of a given geographical district in
Agricultural, Horticultural, anti Mechanical. per-
Baits, anti in pursuance of this well ilellued plan
the society this
.ctir has fixed ou the thriving city
of Scranton, in Lucerne county, in the midst of
minertaand agricultural wealth, as its place of
exhibition.
For this purpose a carefully prepared and laree
space of ground has been enclosed, abundantly
supplied with water; easy or to any part
of the city of Scranton and surrounding towns;
and upon which has teen erected twin halls, care
fully protected front the weather, 250:40 feet each;
one hall 175x45 ; several spacious tents ; 125 horse
stables ; 150 cattld sheds—an amphitheatre with
1,000 seats, and every other arrangement l'or the
comfort cf visitors or exhibitors in every depart-
anent usually represented at such shows. NVe ad
vise all—but especially . those who have niiver seen
the operations in a great coal and iron district to
visit Scranton and the. State Fair, which emu
silences on Tuesday, the :27th day .. of September,
1870.
THE COM. TitADE.—The Pottsville
Journal of R•ednesday has the following remarks
on the prices of coal for September :—" The aver
nge of coal in the Shamokin Region for the
mouth of September, has been aseertsined by the
committee of operators and the W. 11. A. in con
vention to be r 3 93 per ton, and the operators
agreed to pay wages for the month on the $3 batlis.
The Shamokin operators obtain better prices for
coal than they do In Schuyllall, as they have a
choice of markets.
" At several places Is Schuylkill count• the men
arc di6satislled with the award made by the cam-
mittces, and at one of the will vies In the vicinity
of Tamaqua, the men had stopped In CollSegliellee.
The trouble In that some operators are in the habit
-of blowing a good deal about the prices they are
obtaining, representing prices much higher than
they really receive, for reasons best flown to
themselves. We derive our information frOm both
nellers and buyers, ttnd when we make quotations
they eau be relied upon, and do not permit mere
speculators to use our colunins for their own put-
poses. From what w•e 'maw of the trade, we be
lieve the average pilee agreed upon, .•_' , to the
operator for the mouth of Augntt, at Port Carbon,
as ilea• the mark as it could he olildincd
"The prices for September, we believe, will be
con6iderably lower. We know that when the
compromise was Made, matly et the wothhezmen
did not believe that coal would no below this
year, and they thought that they had made a good
thing of it, but In the end, they will Mid that it all
bears nearly`, If not quite, as hard upon them as on
the operators."
. INIPIti)VENIENTS IN OUR ['ITV--A
Wtiol.EsAtA: HOUSE IN Tur.l Inar \VAIID.—One
the most important additions to the business
lilt of the First Ward Is being made by
Messrd. Seiple, J'ihnson Co., wholesale grocers'.
This firm have long felt the necessity •fi'ir increased
room to accommodate their growing business, atal
It WIIB IL debated question where the hew building
should be located. Many cooe-iderations favored
the choice of a spot In the mercantile venni...l the
city, but the fact that all their goods have to he
hauled from the depot to the store, and the greater
portion must be hauled bile!: ❑gain to rehlp by
all.induced them to make their future headquar
ere, In the Fir k. Ward and thus sa ye 11. vein' Ito
loll:tut nod unnecessary Item of expense.
A lot on the soutlowest curio of Second and
11ll31111(011 Wag accordingly purchased, a iii:111 fur
the new structure was procured front John S.
G raillu, the celebrated architect of title city, and
%Turkmen were engaged to proceed with the erec
tion of the building. From the plan placed in our
,0561.!65i011 we Judge dint It will he one of the finest
and most substantial structures or the kind in this•
city. The building will have a front of lifty-three
feet on Hamilton street, ills lied Into three store
fronts and an entrance. The two fronts um to
Second street will be occupied by the owners, which
will give theta a store room 12 feet front by 05 feet
deep. The remaining store room, IS by 03 feet,
will be separate and coil! be rented. To the cast
of this store Is lhoentrance and stairway to the
second and third floors. The height of the ceiling
on the main floor Is to he fourteen feet, and each
store front will have two large windows will the
door In the centre. The second story will have a
height or twelve led and Illay tie used an a dwell
ing. The story is to be thirteen led high, the
wholwsurmouuted by n handsiime Mansard roof
tell feet lu height, In the third nary a lodge room
32 by 'l5 feet, Is to be fitted up the entrance to
which will be on Second street. •
•
The exterior will be very attractive and the
Ilan reflects much credit upon Mr. Ginnie. The
mores will be proportionate and tasty. The brisk
work will be ornamented with pilanters running
up between the windows which will add, strength
Rh well as arehitaturai 'wooly to the building.
The windows will be cupped with circular brick
work inn] the cornice will be composed of the tame
motet lid, overshadowed by elaborate scowl work.
The building is one of the most important for
the future of the First Vilril that las been erected
there for a long time. Not alone on meount of
its in:Manor or the trade that it will draw to that
section of the city, but because one of our leading
houses has broken the Ice In that direction, and it
will In the future be looked upon as the pioneer of
a large tinmber of wholesale houses which 11111 at
no distant day occupy the favorable business sites
of Mingo.
This house was established November let, 1565,
by Rulte'it Shinier. In January, 18136, Mr. Italic
retired and Mr. M. A. &Me entered thi7 ilia rind
business ryas curried on under the name of Seiple
5b Shinier, until January lfl, 1807, when Mr.
'l'llolllll6 Johnston became a partner and tile Ih•m
name was changed to Scipio, Shinier & Co. On
May let, 1802, Mr. Shinier retired front the firm
and Mr. C. Swartz entered into the -tunic partner
ship constituting the lit esent Ilia of Seiple, John
ston & Co. An Idea of the rapid progress of this
house may be formed by the extraordinary Increase
lu sales. During the tlrst year these amounted to
shout $50,000, under Selple, Skinner ikr Co. they
Increased to $280,000, and the present year will
reach 5t350,000.

ANIMAL IN DoT I.l:sTowx.—The excitement occa
sioned in this place a few weeks since, by the ap,
pearance of a strange animal about thet own, and
its terrific howls at night, had abated until the
morning of Sunday week, when Josiah liana,
banker, nod another gentleman, reported that
while titling on the porch of the former the eve•

was he it Was a Wild animal, foreign to this place,

On Tuesday morning, at lire o'clock, Owen Cooper

but when he returned the attbnal was gone. The
critter having thus far committed no outfage, jibe

only interest felt in it is the curiosity to know what
it really la: Several persons Were reported to have

A VISIT FROM THE DETErrivt.—United
States Internal Revenue Detective Brooks, who
was shot in Philadelphia last winter, paid our city
a visit last week and tootle no exami
nation of several cigar manufactories. . Ile ex
pressed himself very much displeased by the lim
ner in which the haws were carried out, and for
the information of those Interested we will gibe a
few of the most ImportanCprovisions, about which
there appears to have been some ntisundershuol
in¢. We believe our manufacturers are all ac
quainted with the sections relating to the amount
of tax to he paid, the filing of 1)0108, packing, etc.
Section 55 requires that all cigars shall be packed
is new boxes containing detthite and limited num
bers, :tad positively prohibits their sale in any
other form except by retail dealers. Retail dealers
are allowed to retail cigars from boxes packed,
stamped, and branded in the manner prescribed by
law ; but this provision does not authorize or war
rant the practice of retailing cigars from show
eases. Sales can legally be etude only from the
stamped package, the presence of the revenue
stamp being always necessary to give currency to
the goods.
it is the practice in some instances to put empty
cigar boxes into the show window to make a dis
play. This is allowed, but the stamp nest be de
faced so that It could not by any possibility be
used again. It is required, for instance, to tear• or
the date and signature. A f-Dure to comply with
this provision Involves a heavy tine.
Cigar boxes cannot he used a second time unless
they are first taken 'apart, planed offend made, in
every respect, to have the appearance of new boxes.
The law relating to inventories alipears to be
very simple and easily comprehended. The Com
missioner has prescribed a book (bleak No. 73) hi
which.eigar manufacturers are required la enter
at the end ;if each day the number of cigars 1111111-
i arm-tared during the day. There is an explana
' lion to this effect in the book, but It appears man
ufacturers have been in the habit of making entries
once a week or once a mouth, a 8 it suited their
eOliVeldellee, While others have Overdone the mat
ter and Made curries fot Sundays an troll as week
days. A strict attention to the provisions of the
section governing inventories trill Pave trouble In
the future.

FiNANCIAL. Thcrc. is much complaint
made by tradesmen and others about the difficulty
of collecting bills, especially small current ec
ru...mar. Part of this may be owing to the fact that
many have a limited balance at bank, and arc low
lu cash Just now ; bat touch of It, we are per
suaded, springs from a want of reasonable con
sideration of this class of creditors. There are
not in few wino, it, times when badness has heel, a
little depressed, sod the prospects for the future
seem more thin' initially unsettled, will hold on to
their cash In hand, and tell all the collectors who
call upon them with overdue bills to " call again,"
while the payment would not give them . any seri
ous ineonveni:lice z 'and would greatly accommo
datert large and deserving class of creditors. In
, deed, we knoll' 'of nothing that, in in quiet way,
would go sc far to give animation to the markets
throughout the country as the universal fulfillment
of these obligations at the first convenient oppor
tunity. If all the little debts, for the discharge of
which the debtors now have the cash actually In
hand, were promptly paid at once, the 'wheels of
business would be lubricated and a •' general jol
lity" soon prevail throughout the land. The first
I ourions effect upon trade of tiny public excitement
comes from the sudden check of these little
streams. It is true that large transactions are ar
rested, but If everybOdy went on paying these little
debts the cheek would be momentary, as business
would be forced along by the current thus con
tinually renewed. Let every one whose eye falls
upon these tunes pa) out at once his ready money
for bills he knoWs to be due, and stop not till hie
pdcket Is emptied. Probably before this is real
ized the return current will resell his locket rep,
and Inc be able to fulfill all Ills obligations. There
to as much money as ever—us much currency as
ever; who stops Its flow Let It move on for a
prompt payment of bills now due, and new busi
ness wfireatch the Inspiration and start off upon
a fresh gallop.

TAKEN IN. --The Miners' Journal tells of a
certain young 'clerk In an office In Pottsville,
whose shrewdness seldom allows deception to get
the better of him, receiving n letter from New
York, Informing hlm, In a strictly confidential
way, of course, that le he would send on five dol
lars—barvly enough to pay the expenses of look
lug Into the matter a little—he would tell him of
parties who owed him considerable sums of money,
which could be. had for asking for it. The flee
'Milers was forwarded ns requested, more out of

celvtd a receipt for his AV" from the ingenious
swindler, of width the following Is the substance:
" Every person who defrauds you of five dollars
owes you that amount. Talley me. Yours,
truly." Very likely the talley has been made.
and the young clerk acknowledges the five dollars'
worth of wisdom, bought with so little trouble.
Young men, beware of New York swindlers.
They will take your money out of your pockets
before your eyes If they get a chance, and do it In
such a way that you cannot take offense at it.

John S. Richards, of Berks, then laid lice follow-
lug resolutions before the Convention, which were
IllinllllllollrAy adopted :
Raolucd, That the practice which hits gout up
in the Legislature of Pennsylvania of submitting
all matters of local legislation to the exclusive
cant rot of local representatives has practically
placed the local political and business interests of
minority constltuences requiring legislation at the
mercy of majority local representation, and lion
afforded 'such a continued series of wrongs and
petty oppression as loudly call for reform.
Rcso/ved, That we can conceive of no other
remedy for such wrong and oppression except in a
system which will secure to each local minority,os
near as can be, Its proportional share of local rep-
•
reseutation.
Ilexotreft, That such minority representation nil
not only remedy the wrongs of which we more es
uecially complain, but will also tend to lessen un
Just and illiberal partisanship, and to promot
greater purity In legislation.
Resolved That a fair rind proportionate repre-.
sentatlon Tif minorities by districts is not only
ja,t, but Is In accord with the spirit of ail our
State political systems, widen provide for the
election of legislators. by districts It, order to pro
tect the minority at large front the unjust domi
nation of the majority as well os to guard the In
tereas of localities, and which we prop)se now to
suppleinent by placing it,,, local minority beyond
the react, of the unjust domination of the local
nuijm9ty.
Resolved, That In view of the taking of the eel,-
sus, and the approaching legislative reupportlon-'
meat of the State ' we recommend the 'sweep of
acts of Assembly by the next legislature embody
log the principles of minority representation In
reference to boards of county comtnlssioners, di
rectors of the poor, and county, auditors, as well
as township and other officers.
/?er - dre,/, That we recommend the passage of
an act of Assettilby providing for a constitutional
convention to be composed of members elected on
the la inciple, and to such convention In making
the Mal** constitutional reforms no loudly de
mended for , years, we respectfully recommend
that the principles of minority representation be
enibodied In the new constitution of Pennsylvania.
Bere/red, That we tender our hearty congratu
tattoos to the people of Illinois for their great and
salutary advance in the art of self-government by
adopting the plan of the free vote for the election
of representatives in their Legislature, and for the
choice of directors and managers of all incorpor-•
ated companies in their State, 111111 that we pledge
to them our best efforts to extend this wholesome
reform which they have begun, so far its our
power and Influence may extend, to Federal,
State and municipal elections, confident that
thereby we shall promote the best Interests of our
whole people, joined together in a union of free
institutions.
Resolved, That the people of Pennsylvania of
every political party be invited to unite In pro
moting the Important objects embodied In the
foregoing resolutions.
Resolved, That the chairman of the convention
shall appoint an executive committee of twenty
one persons to serve during the ensuing year,
