For the Information of advertisersnnd others who may be Interested In know lug, we will state that the present circu lation of The Times Is between eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred copies each week. The bmi'oolehs of New York are having ft serious time of it. Quite a number have already been arrested, and over $50,0(10 worth of silk has been seized by the officers. It Is thought that these seizures will aid the silk works of this country. A conflagration kindled by a lire cracker, at Decorah, Iowa, July 4th, de stroyed property to the amount of ?20,000. The small number of fires recorded on the 4th of July, this year, is no doubt due to the fact that so many cities and towns prohibited the firing of crackers. The Twelfth passed off in Montreal without the organized riot that was an ticipated. There were however, several persons killed in consequence of disputes between small parties of Catholics and Orangemen. At one time it seemed as though a serious riot would occur and the military were called out ready for the emergency. , &-A Washington dispatch to the New York Post says: A prominent Lou isiana Democrat writes here from New Orleans that Gov. Nicholls has endeav , ored privately to stop the prosecution of members of the Returning Board, but that he has been met with the threat that if he attempts to defeat the efforts to secure the conviction of Wells and others, or if they are convicted and he interposes an executive pardon, that ho will be impeached by the Legislature. New Freight Train Signal. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has recently introduced on freight trains a new signal. It consists of a flashing light fastened on the rear car, that indi cates the speed and distance of a train, and shows whether it is at rest or in mo tion. The light is of two colors, one of them being red and the other white; they are placed on what Is known as the " caboose," so that they may be seen in both directions on the line. A simple device for hiding the light at intervals Is affixed to each lamp so that It may be made to " flash'.' or alternately appear and disappear, and by BUltable gearing mis is cuunecieu wun one or tne axles of the car. While the car Is at rest the ) lights are steadily visible; when the train moves the lights flash once for ; every revolution of the wheels, and thus Its movement and actual speed can be easily estimated as far as the lights can be seen. K , A Terrible Accident. Trenton, N. J., July 10. Last night about half past one o'clock Dr. E. H. Reed, H. C. Paxson and two ladles were returning home after a drive up the Delaware when they were caught in the etorm. The night was very jlark and when near Scudder's Falls, six miles from Trenton, the wagon upset and threw the whole party, driver and horses, Into the basin of the Delaware and Raritan canal feeder. Paxson broke through the window of the carriage and pulled one of the ladies out and she clung to the top of the carriage while Paxson ran for assistance, and when he came back she was rescued. Search was made for Reed and the other young lady and they were found 200 yards from the carriage, both drowned and lying a short distance from each other. The horses and driver were saved, ono horse being badly hurt. Paxson was badly cut by the glass of the carriage door. An Avalanche of Mormons. On Sunday morning a special train of twenty cars.contalnlng 750 Mormon em igrants, passed through this city on their way to the " promised land" of Utah. Thirteen "missionaries" accompanied these candidates for future misery. How successful the labors of the latter have been is attested by the fact that nine nationalities are represented in the mot ley crowd of proselytes. Of these one hundred and fifty were Danes, 200 Swedes, the rest v Dnsisting of Germans, Norwegians, Swiss, Welsh, Hollanders, English, a sprinkling of Irish and an anamalou8 and strangely out of the way little group of Japanese. The entire body of these emigrants appeared to be well-to-do people. They were In excellent behavior, and out wardly showed fraternal and kindly feeling toward each other. Noticeable of the throng was the number of chil dren It contained of all ages, from the infant at its mother's bosom to ruddy cheeked boys and girls of fifteen and seventeen. Some of the latter were handsome, and albeit their faces caught " the livery of the Bunshlne," would make many a city belle envious of their graceful figures and free, untrammelled step. The proportion of the very young and old will be better understood by the statement that while seven hundred and fifty odd souls are to be transported west only 450 whole tickets are required for the purpose. Patriot More Terrible Storms. Janesville, Wis., July 0. A terri ble tornado swept everything before it on Sunday night. The storm nt Pen saukee station, twenty-five miles north of Green liny, on the Chicogo and North Western rallrond,destroyed the Gardiner house, the largest brick hotel and sum mer resort in northern Wisconsin. Eight persons are known to be killed and two are missing. Other buildings were blown to pieces. The place Is a total wreck. A saw mill, shingle mill, the school house, a store and 15 or 20 other buildings were blown down. A powerful gust of wind raised the rail road depot from Its foundation and threw it across the track preventing passage of the Green Ray train for two hours. The bridge was misplaced and damaged. The steam tug Spray and a Bchooner were totally wrecked. A Springfield, Mass., dispatch of the 10th Inst., says : A tornado occurred at Westfleld, Mass., yesterday afternoon. It came eastward through the gorge of Westfleld river and widened to half a mile, felling trees, scattering fences and demolishing buildings until its force had expended. It first struck the wall of the Salmon Falls Paper Mills, rebuilding from a re cent fire, which fell, crushing in the engine-house containing two men, one of whom is seriously hurt. Two men plowing saw the storm coming and at tempted to reach a barn near by. They and the horses were thrown to the ground and wounded by flying stones. When they recovered their sight the barn was gone. A family of six persons in a house heard the whirling noise and knew nothing until they found themselves on the floor, several rods from the site of the house. The rest of the building was destroyed. Large quantities of crops, grass and trees were destroyed. At Chicopee Falls the wind destroyed sev eral barns, sheds and many trees. Singular Discovery at Baltimore. The American 'of late date soys: It seems a very strange circumstance that in digging for the foundation of a ware house in what is now. the centre of busi ness, the hull of a vessel wrecked more than a century ago, should be unearthed and yet such is the fact. On Thursday the workmen engaged in digging a cellar for a warehouse on Charles street, near Ct'.mden, struck a mass of timber very much decayed, which appeared to be one side of the hull of a small sized sailing vessel. Yesterday, during the progress of the work, the men continued to dig up the timbers and various pieces pf wood that, beyond all mistake, are parts of a wrecked vessel. Police Sergeant Hause, of the Southern district, who is well informed on a variety of subjects, especially the early history of Baltimore puts forward a theory In regard to the wreck which is supported by strong evi dence. The place where the excavation i is now in progress is all made ground, and previous to the year 1800 was cover-' ed by deep water. Sergeant limine has in his position a curious and minute map of Baltimore tome and harbor, executed In 1752, upon which is marked a spot where the sloop Dove went down, being the first wreck that ever occurred in the waters of the Patapsco. By close calcu lations and measurements Sergeant Hause has discovered that the place where the excavation is now being made on South Charles street is the ' exact lo. eality marked on his map as the scene of the sinking of the sloop. It would thus appear that the old hulk which the men are digging up is the wrcck of the sloop Dove, now unearthed and discov ered for the first time after being buried a hundred and twenty-flvo years. Ser geant Hause further states that ho re members very clearly a circumstance happening to him when a very small boy .which bears on this subject. This same locality was then about being made the freight yard of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and old Levi Taylor was having a well sunk on the premises. Young Hause was surprised to see the men hauling up quantities of wood from the deep hole, and tried in vain several times to find out how it was. One day some gentlemen connected with the rail road asked the man conducting the work how It came that they found wood at so greot a depth. Master Hause, who Was by, heard the foreman explain that in former years the banks thereabouts used to be covered With great quantities of cord wood, and that the banks were often washed away, taking the wood with them and burying It at the bottom of the deep water, where It could not be recovered. The whole subject is one Of Interest, and no doubt much more could be said about It. Six Men Killed and Thirty Overcome by , Inhaling Gas In a Coal Mine. Between ono and two o'clock Wednes day afternoon an accident occurred In the Brookfleld coal mine at Wheatland, Pa., by which six men were killed and thirty more were nearly suffocated. The names of the dead are Robert Wil liams ; Miles Davis ; John Jones; David Jenkins ; Richard Jones, and John Barter. About eleven o'clock the engine passed into the slope. After being in ft short time the men In charge of the engine became suddenly affected by the gas from the hard coal, causing them to fall to the ground in an insensible condi tion. The engineer managed to make his way back to the mouth of the bank and gave the alarm, at which a large number of men rushed Into the bank to rescue theii comrades. One after anoth er they passed in, but were almost im mediately overcome by the gns, and they, too, fell Insensible. After several had thus fallen, a gang was organized to rescue those who went in last, and squads of four or live passed in until they came to a fallen comrade, when they would take him in their arms and carry him out to the open air. In this way 30 men were brought out, six of whom were either dead before reaching the mouth of the bank, or died immediately after. Wheatland is a small town on the Erie and Pittsburgh Railway, two miles east of Sharon. Masked Burglars. The Keesevllle, New York, National Bank . was robbed on Friday night a week by seven or eight masked burglars. The Watchmen were bound and gagged, the vault ond Marvin's spherical safe blown open and the contents carried away. The bank loses $7,000 In curren cy, $0,000 In tin town of Chesterfield bonds, $1,000 in government bonds, and $1,000 In Essex county bonds ; total, $15,000. Parties who had left packages In the bank for safekeeping have lost to the amount of from $50,000 to $GO,000. Bills receivable of the bank and collec tion notes were also taken. The bank notifies brokers not to buy town of Ches terfield bonds, payable at Park Bank, $1,000 each, numbers, 3, 9, 10, 12 and 13; and Essex county bonds, each $1,000 or more, numbers 10, 11, 12, 13, 10, and 18. A KiUlnValn. While a group of criminals who had been sentenced at Springfield, 111., to the State prison at Joliet were standing in the depot waiting for the train, last Friday, a young woman stepped forward and resting her head on a convict's shoulder, said: "Kiss me, George" The officer smiled, for the woman's face was besmeared with paint. But "George" took the kiss, and more ; for between her lips was a small key with which he could unlock the steel bracelets around his wrists. As the train bowled along the road he Bhook off his bonds and shot out of the window like a rocket. The train was stopped, the officers gave chase, and before long the fugitive was recaptured.. So the kiss was thrown away. Train Struck by Lightning. The Mlddleton, (N. Y.,) Press says : A train on the Midland Railroad, near Walton, was struck by lightning a few days ago. The storm was terrilic. Crash after crash of thunder with blinding lightning, accompanied by a deluge of rain and hail, followed them. At one time the tiain seemed to be enveloped In a sheet of electrical fire. A feurful crash came, and instantly the engine wus in a volume of electricity ; balls of Are encircled the driving wheels as they revolved. Engineer Sanford beheld the phenomenon and Involuntarily shut off the Bteam. Nearly every person on the train experienced a severe shock ; a large tree by the track was shattered. ST A extra engine and caboose run ning toward Greenfield, Mass., on the Fltchburg Railroad, ran Into a team which was crossing the road at Wendall Station Wednesday, killing Ira Davis, Mrs. Jonah Davis, his mother, Mrs. Ira Wakefield, Mrs. Eugene Brown, and Miss Nellie Lacey. Mrs. Brown lived half an hour. The others were killed Instantly, and badly cut up. The loco motive was not running at a very great speed at the time. Strange Freak of Electricity. - Last week Daniel Smith and his hired man were working In a field, near Dan bury, Connecticut, when suddenly, Mr. Smith heard the noise of thunder and became unconclous. The man also heard the noise, but neither of them saw any flash of lightning. The man went to Smith, and.ln about twenty minutes he was restored to consciousness. Then t tentlon was given to the horses. One of them was standing erect, with one foot lifted a little way from the earth, and the other was kneeling with his nose In earth, and both were stone dead, and re tained their positions until they were pushed over. The supposition Is that In- this case the electricity went from the earth to the sky.

John Bright, who con ducted the bride, was greeted with loud cheers by a great assembly in the neigh borhood of the meeting-Louse.
