speed, and while pasAng that place, the cow
catcher of the engine struck two horses, which
were running around loose, and killed them. No
damage was done to the train. The engineer was
not to blame.

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT. — WC recently
observed a new style of cabin, or caboose,attached
to some of the freight trains oe the middle division
of the Pennsylvania railroad. It Is constructed
with a sort of observatory on the top, so that the
flagman can sit there and view the track for miles
either way, and over and ahead of his train. The
Interior Is well finished, with cushions for sleep
ing at night, and has many other improvements.
The railroad men appreciate the cabin very much,
and thank Colonel Black for the interest he has
taken In their behalf. —Rafe Joiniat.
We arc glad to notice any improvements that
are Intended for the safety of trains, and the com

he lives In Maine or California, and let not a ves

A GRAND COURSE.—We are gratified to an
nounce to-day the series of entertainments, which
our Allentown Association has prepared, and
whi"ch arc all of so bigb a character as to mark a
new era In the history of amusements In this city.
Thomas' Orchestra needs no commendation from
us, and the Quartette Club of Boston is equally
good, although In a somewhat different sphere.
Today we will only take occasion to say a few
words about Theodore Tilton, whose name Is al
,
most as familiar as the names of Horace Greeley
and Wendell Phillips. As a successful Journalist
he has probably no peer, and as a lecturer be Is
simply magnetic. We presume not a single per
son of a large train that went to Catasauqua two
years ago to hear him will miss him, while the
people of that town will be the first ones to engage
seats for the present lecture. Tickets will be
offered for sale in a few days, and we advise our
readers to secure them soon.

MORE ANTHRACITE COAL.—We understand
from very reliable information, says the Scranton
Democrat, that an important coal discovery has
been made, which not only adds to the territory of
the anthracite region, but completely explodes the
theory entertained for years that no. coal existed
lu the Lackawanna 'region beyond the mountain
ridges of the valitry:' A man living In Jefferson
township commenced digging a well. After de
scending a short distance he discovered signs of
coal, and Immediately set to work testing the mat
ter by boring. Within seventy-flve feet of the sur
face ho came to coal, which proved to ben 7%
foot vein. The property upon which the discovery
was made Is located some four miles from the
Lackawanna river, on the eastern side of the Moo
sic mountains, on what our Informant called Spar
row Meadow Run, which, from our knowledge of
that locality, must be In the neighborhood of Copp
pond or Moosic lake. Should this prove true, the
sturdy farmers of Jefferson, who have for years
battled with the sterile soil of that wilderness re
gion, suddenly fled themselves in possession of
broad acres of a value far beyond their highest ex
pectatious.

LOCAL OPTION.—The Philadelphia COClCS
pondent. of the Bucka County Intelllgencer writes
to that paper under date of 13th Inst. as follows:
You will sec that the vote In the 22d Ward (Ger
mantown and Chestnut 11111) at the late election,
on the subject of licensing the liquor trunk, re
sulted in a majority of thirteen hundred against
license. The friends of temperance carried every
precinct by decisive majorities. So Germantown
declares for emancipation. In West Philadelphia
both the Republican and Democratic candidates
for the Legislature'were pledged to secure the pas
sage of a local option law for that district, and as
the Republican is elected,, there Will no doubt he
a law paused and a vote taken In West Philadel
phia next fall. There can be no question that the
result will be the Fame as In Germantown. The
fact Is that all our rural environs want to get clear
of the curse of Intempefance, and if they can get
a chance they will make short work of the rum
shops. The beer shops that have Infested these ,
suburbs have become awful nuisances. They rim
the very worst haunts of rund.mism, drunkenness,
licentiousness and outrage. The belief in the city
Is, that If a.vote can be taken by all the wards
separately, all the Republican wards will vote to
refuse retail licensee to the liquor sellers. There
is no use In attetnptjng to dodge this issue. It has
been forced upon us and must be met. The reac
tion of public sentiment In cousequence of the fear
ful tide of intemperance sweeping over the land is
irresistible.
SMOKING is a liabltthat , we would not recom
mend young men to cOmMence, beeause those who
have never Indulged In It never feel the necessity
for It. We know of Borne, Instances where It is be-
lloved to be beneficial, but there are nervous peo
ple who cannot break off from the habit and to
whom It is evidently hurtful. This latter class
should ho particularly careful in selecting , good
cigars. If they cannot afford to pay a good price,
let them decrease the number and then buy none
but those Havana cigars manufactured by IL C.
Wagner, corner of Seventh and Centre Square.
A fair trial will convince any one of the correct
ness of this position.

Lyons, on the East Pennsylvania Railroad, on Sat

PREBENTATION.—TiIC Columbia Steam
Fire Engine and nose Company accompanied by
the City Cornet Band proceeded to the residence
of their former Treasurer, Wm. 11. Blunter, resid
ing at the corner of Sixth and Chew SM., Tuesday
night, for the purpose of presenting him with th•!
resolutions adopted by the company.
Wm. 11. Sowden, Esq., on behalf of the compa
ny; presented the resolutions to Mr. Blunter, in an
appropriate speech. Mr. Blamer on receiving the
testimonial said that he could not utter words to
express his gratification in receiving the memorial,
but he would always hold it in remembrance. Ile
remembered the first hand engine brought here In
1500, called the Friendship. The Lehigh was or
ganized In 1620. Thin latter company he joined
In 1810 and from that organization sprung the Co
lumbia. The party then adjourned lo
- Charles '
Sealer's saloon on Sixth street, where a collation
had been prepared by order of Mr. Blunter.
The resolutions passed to Mr. Blunter were en
grossed by W. L. Blackman and form a beautiful

spec! ten of penmanship. The back-ground Is

TUE GOOD WILT. AT lIAIDIIBISUI{O.—RObt.
S. Boyd, • Eeq., reporter on the Harrisburg Patriot,
has sent us a copy of that paper containing the
following. Ina private note he says hod thy Fire
Department of Harrisburg been notified sooner of
the contemplated visit of the Good Will the recep
tion would have been on a grander scale :
At 3:55 Tuesday afternoon the Good Will fire
company, No. U, of Allentown, composed of tifty
men, accompanied by the Allentown Cornet 13antl,
(twenty-four pieces), arrived on the Lebanon Vol.
Icy railroad. They were met at the depot by n
small portion of the fire department of Harrisburg,
in charge of Chief Engineer Schlayer, preceded by
Weber's band. Everything in readiness the line
of march was formed on Market street, the home
band leading, followed by representatives of the
Harrisburg lire companies, the Allentown band
and the visiting fire company. The processlet i
,moved up Market, down Third,out Vine, up Front,
out Chestnut, up Second, out North, down Third
to the Keystone hotel, where a collation was In
readiness for the visitors. All seated to a bounti
fully laden table, Hobert L. Muench, Esq., of this
city, made a few appropriate remarks of welcome
to the Good Will on behalf of the lire department
of Harrisburg, which received a happy response
froth T. F. Etnmens, of the Lehleh Valley News.
After satisfying their appetite the visitors were es
corted up Third, out North, down Fourth (pasF.lng
tile Mount Vernon and Citizens houses), out Wal
nut, down Third and out Market to the depot.
As the procession moved and passed the differ
ent engine houses the bells were rung In honor of
the visiting firemen. All along the line of march
the pavements were full of people, intent on view
ing the. parade and listening to the tousle dis
coursed by the bands. •
Tile Good Will are accompanied by a number of
their citizen friends—among them J. S. Diiiinger,
prothonotary of Lehigh county, and T. F. Em
mens, editor of the Lehigh Valley News—and mar
shaled by Charles Haines. The president of the
company, 11. H. Stanch, was also with the excur
sionists, as was George Kuhl, assistant engineer.
Never, perhaps, did a company visit this city
whose appearance elicited more favorable 'com
ment than the Good Will of Allentown. The mem
bers area fine looking body of men and were In
full uniform—blue shirts, black pants, black over
coats, New York fire bats (with German silver
frontispiece containing name and number of com
pany) and white scarfs. They marched through
the streets with great precision. The band accom
panying the excuraloulsts is composed of excellent
musicians, all of whom were prettily attired—
black uniforms, black plumes in their caps and
gold stripes down their pants, with brightly burn.
(shed epaulettes. Tile band was the recipient of
many compliments from our people. • ,

Thu visiting firemen left nt 0:45 In the evening
for York, where they were received by the Vigilant
fire company, who will accompany them to Gettys
burg to-day, returning on Thursday and Friday.

Church ;
Ann WHEREAS, The step was taken by said
ministers without formally withdraw big from the
Synod, or asking that their relations to it might
be dissolved ; therefore,

cast upon Its dignity and authority, the respective
Classes with which said ministers, J. B. Ertnen•

J. H. Dobbs, of Philadelphia, arose, and In elo

rbliermite English Cleric, on behalf of the Syn

chain. Mr. Dobbs stated that Dr. Fisher had
served as Clerk. of the Synod for the Past thirty

very feelingly delivered.
On , motion ;the third Wednesday of October,
1872, at 73.,i o'clock,' p. tn., was fixed as the time

CHICAGO.---SCYCI3I gentlemen of this city
have been to Chicago to view the 'situation. ,The
experiences of the Chicagoans are reported by them
fully as heartrending as have been represented.
One remarkable thing, not before referred to, we
believe, was.a frame house and outbuildings stand
ing solitary and alone amid the ruins of palatial
buildings, unharmed by the flt . e, although on every
side the devouring flumes had swept everything be
fere them,crumbled brick buildings Into dust and
transformed marble edifices Into heaps of lime.
The suffering among the wealthy was as terrible as
among the poor. The wife of a gentleman, who
was worth before the fire two millions, died from
night and through suicide be.soon Joined her in
the realms b,•p,.:d .1 , • Vsil% C. T!li, IS only one In
stance a n d column truer column would nor give
room to pursue the derails of the calamity. At
the &putt , . on Friday last the i•eenee bullied de-
criptilm. Cs owls of people e ,ger to get n way
pronged the ,lepois and as the trains were tilled
itninet , e erewds oil the phitiornis had to
be di Ice,, away to keep them front danger. Even
then they run to the track and rated after
the trains like to id people. Otte old gentleman,
but a week ago an Important man In the business
community, sat In the car with his head down,
his hair whitened with trouble anti looking the
picture of despair. The fond, cherished hopes of
his life were consumed in that awful fire and as
the train rolled out of the depot he started con-
ulslvely from hls seat, IS though the actual sit
ation, the realization of his loss, suddenly awok
coed him from his dreaming. Ilow many such
broken down men, who had been heroes before in
the battles on 'change, can never be told,but there
are men strung and brave, cheered on by such di
vines as the Rev. Colyer, who are working Inces
santly to restore the old order of things In the
great Chicago, and these will again build-up the
city and make themselves millionaires.
The efforts to suppress villainy are being put
forth with energy. An Allentonlan commands a
patrol of fifty-two men, which Is continually on
guard to protect life and property. An incendiary
caught In the act had both feet and hands cut off
and then was handed over to the police. Many
have been Finn, some have been hung to lamp-
posts, and burglars and thieves from other cities
whO expected to reap a harvest out of the misfor
tunes of the Chicago people have In many eases
had their delusive dreams very summarily dls
pzlled.
Els Ettali. —ln the world's opinion success
Is considered the test of ability, and to him who
achieves It the honors of the general pablic are
showered and with a lavish hand. But few reach
the desired goal In the face of difficulties that con-
stautly beset the business man, but still less are
the number when encumbered with serious disas
ters buperadded toile incidental discouragements.
Among the latter, who aro pre-eminently au ex•
ample, stand the firm of Messrs.J. E. Caldwell &
Co.,Jcwelere, 902 Chestnut•et., Phirei.—A,serious
conflagration in the winter of 1809, swept away la
a few hours the realization of years of labor,
thought, aud care. With a courage that rose in
direct proportion to the difficulties to be surmount
ed, they resolved to again tempt their fortunes,
and with the resolve came naturally that elasticity
of industry that begets a triumph. The sympa
thy of a feeling public was with them, bud their
friends, by kind words and more substantial tok
cus, bid them God-speed. The result Is before us.
Ou the great thoroughfare of our beautiful city,
among the palaces of Industrial art, noire exhibit
greater tokens of prosperity than can be perceived
in their superb establishment. Articles of vertu
from all parts of the civilized world crowd their
eases and shelves. Silver ware of most exquisite
patterns, and for every puiposc, for the table and
the toilet, are here in profusion. The tastes of
amateurs in rare gemS cite be thoroughly sat ',lied,
for the complement covers every conceivable range
of quality and price. As touch attention has been
of late directed to imported fancy goods, Messrs.
Caldwell Co. have taken pains in their seieetiou
62;551,014 60
of this class of ware, and present In their stock
some of the choicest of Vienna goods. They are
is Russia leather, gilt bronze,'eut glassware, &c.,
Sze. The taste in real bronze has improved so
rapidly within the past few yeays, that the supply
could hardly keep pace with the demand. Iu
these goods this house possess a beautiful assort
ment, well worth an examination. Upon a recent
visit, beside the innumerable beauties that call -d
forth our admiration, we wore shown the new Cor
omandel ware, splendidly mounted in gold, one of
the first importations Into this country. Want of
space shortens our notes on this thriving and de.
serving firm, and we must conclude by wishing
them all the prosperity they so eminently deserve.
SODDEN DEATH OF A MEMBER OF THE
HERBS COI NIN Batt.-Our CORIUM ity was'shocked
Wednesday morning by the announcement of the
sudden death of Franklin B. Laucks, one of
the hi:St known and most promising young, mem

o'clock, apparently in the best of health and spir

to bed his wife discovering that he was breathing
Mittvily, endeavored to around him. Failing to do

upon the duties of that position owing ton disa
greement between theoutgoing and incoming Con
gressman at that time as to which should rccom•
mend the appointment was 'subsequently revoked.

RENN= ATTEMPT TO FIRE TILE NEW
EPISCOPAL CHURCH AT EASTON.—Last , evening, at
about o'clock, Mr. Joseph Barnet, of Fourth
street, when passing the new church building of
the Trinity Episcopal congregation, on Spring
Garden street, observed a bright blaze seeming to
be a fire built nt the front of the building. With
the assistance of two gentlemen who were, fortun
ately, at hand, ht succeeded in putting out the
flames, which proved to be a paint keg filled with
oily cotton waste. The matter wan regarded as a
design to destroy the church by means of this keg.
Our reporter visited the church this morning and
learned that the keg had been set outside the
church because of the combustible character of its
contents, and that the fire was of spontaneous
origin.
In proof of this theory, It seems that the waste
took lire this morning a second time. Had the
accidentally kindling of this stu if resulted in the
destruction of the building, it woald doubtless
have been pronounced the work of an Incendiary.

A BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL HIGHWAY ROE
DERY.—The Harrisburg Journal says Immediately
after the arrival of the New York train, over tit
Lebanon Valley branch of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, at 11:45 on Tuesday night, one
of those daring and successfully performed high
way robberies took place at the depot in this city,
whirls an experienced thief or burglar alone could
manage Rcientifleally. Mr. George Rice, a resident
of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, formerly chief engi
neer of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, but
stow a contractor of a railroad from Driftwood, in
Elk county, to a junction of the Allegheny Valley
railroad, came In on the above train, having to his
hand a satchel or traveling bag containing funds
to the amount of *6,000, with which to pay off
hands on the Job he is concerned in. Before the
train entered the depot of the Lebanon Valley rail
road, Mr. Rice Jumped off, (having the strap of
his satchel securely wrapped around his hand,) in
order to get over to the Pennsylvania railroad
speedily to meet his partner, Mr. T. A. Riley, who
was also going to Driftwood. At some point Lm
tween the two depots some desperate charact( r
threw a large handful of capirtint (Cayenne pep
per) into his eyes ; and quick as thought, eel time
strap, grabbed the satchel an 1 funds, and de
camped before the alarm was given. Mr. Mee
was assisted to the Lochiel lintel, and a physichn
was called In to attend to his case. The thief and
money are still missing. As the robber was a pro
fessional rogue, he knew of the amount of funds
in the satchel, and followed Mr. Rice up In the
train.
Mr. Rice did not suffer much palm from the Cay
enne In his eyes yesterday, and proceeded to his
home In the afternoon. The place chosen for the
robbery in one frequented at all hours, is lit up
with gas—and would, from appearance, lance been
the last: place chosen to commit so dialog an out
rage, save by an old hand ut the buslnegs. The
facts of the ease were related to us Tuesday even
ing, but for certain reason• we declined to lay them
before our readers yesterday morning.

OUR CHICAGO. LETTER
Theeke fn Al!coalmen Libelerlity—The riyileet
Comesitteem—Allent , ~, itt 011 the Wet frit —The
Fief...fel Si:tuition—The Beehaefin fletleek.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10, 1571.
All words that I am able to command are too
feeble to express the gratitude we feel towards the
citizens of Allentown fot the sympathy and charity
which they have manifested towards poor, deso
late Chicago. lam sure, If such an opportunity
could be bed, all the citizens of Chicago would
joie with me in thanking you all, from the bottom
of our hearts. While we are conscious that this
terrible calamity has celled forth the most magni
ficent displays of sympathy and charity from all
parts, we feel that Allentown—our dear old home
—has done Its duty, cheerfully and promptly, and
although Its contributions may not be proclaimed
to the World they will reach the hearts of the des.
Mute and relieve their wants. There are yet
many who had no opportunity to contribute. It
is hoped that such may send their gifts to the
proper authorities.
Your charities have been placed In the hands of
the relief committee, who have given vouchers for
the grateful acceptance of them and the Judicial
disposal of the contributions.
It affords me a. great deal of pleasure to report
that the Alleutonlans who live In Chicago are all
alive, though most of them have lost everything.
Oa the flrA train that left Chicago after the fire,
I forwarded a letter, containing an account of
each particulars as occurred to that date. Tie
various newspapers have contained recitals of
events that transpired since. Knowing this, It I,
not agreeable to me to refresh your mlads with
. Intelligence that will pain you to rend and to le
call to me recollections, which I hope may be for
ever forgotten.
THE SAFETY OF TIIE CITY.
Gen. Sheridan and our noble Mayor folemw the
veil of . the great Ore. Those who had lost their all
became reckless. The city was packed with for
eign robbers and thieves. The military was called
out and the pollee force increased, which together
with the vigilant,committees checked the plunder
ing of houses and the Incendlarlion that threatened
the city. One man was hung upon a lamp post
and numbers shot. It was the privilege to shoot
or hang any one caught In the act of setting Ore
' to any building or robbing a house. Our house
furnished a number of men for the vlgilants ;
among them Dr. T. C. 'Yeager and Mr. George
Deller, of your city, nobly responded to the call
and kept watch lu relief of those who had been on
duty for the past week. Our block had an organi
zation of fifty-three men and one captain. The
guards were placed In a similar style as In the
army. To-day we learn that the chicttis arc not
required. The police and military are so elf le
lively and harinonlonsly co-operating that orders
have been Issued to suspend the citizens' patrol.
TIRO FINANCIAL SITCATION
Is talked of by everybody. Will the bunks pay
the depositors T No one knows, so that the many
who placed t'leir money Into the hands of the
bankers are In doubt and misery In consequence
of their dark pi ospects. All sorts of Ideas arc ad
vanced and ninny schemes proposed. The most
cheering news we have yet received comes from the
country bankers who have made this gencron oh
far to sustain the banks In resenting limited late
payment in full, placing their utmost means of
accommodation at their command.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Already hundreds of.temporary houses : are be
ing erected. The debris is being rapidly realm to I
and In a short time the desolate tract will be alive
with business. "We arc toa sanguine of our fu
ture success," some say. That Is impossible.
We remember all the startling facts—the miles of
ruin that lie before us—the hundreds that have
perished and the millions of dollars lost. We re
member all this. But we are conscious, too, that
under all the plies of ruin we see, there Is that en
ergy which so strongly characterized the people of
Chicago, placing us at the he id of all the cities in
the world for enterprise and success, which no fire
can ever destroy. This, energy will again loom
up and spread out, and In thr course of a few
years, will totally cover the tracks of this demon ,
and we shall all , be then, as we were a week ago,
happy, prosperous and thankful.
BELIEF%
Every Christian man and women In Am 3rlca
tyilldo all they can for us. We can only thuds.
thom, and pray God to spare them from a fate like
ours. A great deal Is being done for us and
great deal Is needed. There are thousands of
men, women and children who haie neither home
nor food and the winter Is close upon them.
vislthig us will give you full accounts of all they
have seen. We trust they may find words enough
to tell what they cannot but know that our hearts
are full of love for all our kind 'friends at home,
and overflowlnk with gratitude. •
