The official report of Admiral Seymour concerning' the encounler with Ihe enemy of Ihe reconnoisance party at Manhalla Junction Saturday, is as follows: "Our force consisted1 of 200 men of the Naval Hrigade, with one 40 pounder and two il ponnderguns, under Captain Fisher, 1,000 marines under l.ol.

meson, nan a patianon of the Thirty Eighth and Forty Sixth Iiegi menl, and all of the Sixtieth lleginient. We had a skirmish with the enemy, which was il, 000 strong, with six guns and six rockets, from hall past live until half past seven o'clock in the evening. The total casualties to the Naval Brigade and marines are two killed and twenty two totalis of the t'ifflit Ooori Work of the Ill round Unns KllU'd nud Wounded. Alexandria, Aug. ti.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon the British troops, with a number of field guns served by sailors, attacked the advance guard of Arabi Pasha near llamleh, between the Mahmoudieh Canal and the Cairo Railway, firing upon the enemy's position from three sides. The engagement, which is of a serious nature, still continues. Arabi Pasha sent fourteen men with a white flag to the Hiitish camp yesterday morning. The party was received by i'ringlc, but the interview was without result. Alexandria, August 0.

The object, of the operations yesterday was a reconuoissance in force. Commencing at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, a steady advance was made by the marines upon the railway lino, the Kifles upon the west bank of the Mahinendieli canal, anil the South Slatrordshire lleginient and mounted infantry upon the east bank. The enemy were driven in from all their advanced posts, and were compelled to bring jnto action all of their troops available in front of their principal line of iutrenelimeiits at Kafr el Dwar namely, about four battalions of infantry, a force of cavalry, and several guns. The latter were completely silenced by the accurate tire of our forty pouuders. The Egyptian infantry held their ground with considerable steadiness.

The marines on the railroad, who were under the immediate command of General Allison, pushed the enemy back upon their second line of intrench inents, toward Kafr el Dwar. The marines were supported by theSoiith Staffordshire lleginient and Hides. They suffered somewhat, but behaved with the greatest coolness and steadiness under the heavy tire. The object, of the British operations, which was to compel the enemy to display what force and what guns they had in front of the main position, was completely attained. This was ascertained by night fall, when the British were slowly and steadily withdrawn.

No accurate return of the killed and wounded is yet obtained. The enemy's loss isunknown. A large number of wounded fell into the hands of the British. JIany dead were seen. A considerable number of the enemy weie made prisoners.

The British lately made successful experiments with the forty pounder mentioned while mounted on the iron clad railway track. Whs the MiirniiNli Worth the Powder? London, Aug. G.

An Official Account of Hie Kecomiobn mice. 4 London, August 0. The following is General Alison's report Versistent native reports existing during the past few days that Arabi Pasha was retiring from Kafr el Dwar upon liamauhour, I determined upon a reconnois ance. The left column advanced at 4.4 this morning from the advance pickets of llamleh, the lines moving ny ooin nanus oi me Mahmoudieh canal and down the canal into action with the cniemy, strongly posted on the eastern side. These positions were carried.

At this time Lieut. Vise, of ihe COth, and one soldier were killed. The enemy then took a second position half a mile in ihe rear, upon the bank of the canal. Prom here euemy were driven villi great loss. As soon as the enemy observed us, they opened lire with artillery.

Near the Mahmoudieh canal I theu opened musketry fire upon the enemy lining the banks of the canal. The enemy retired slowly before ns. The fire of their seven pounders and nine centimetre guns was speedily got under by ourartillery. The object of my recunnoisance was attained. 1 determined to withdraw.

This movement was carried out with the most perfect regularity. F.vcry attempt by the enemy to advance was crushed by the precision of the 40 pounder and the steady tiring of the (l pounders. The loss of the enemy appears to have been very great. They were so dispirited that they made nd attempt to follow up our withdrawal. 1 regret to state that our loss was somewhat heavy.

Hcliiriniiia Service Held In Tent in the Northern Purl ol the City ele lrnilon of Hie r'lrNt Aniitvernry of Xion Kelormcil (Uermnn) MJumioii. Last evening, on all the thoroughfares lead ing to that neighborhood, could have been seen men, women and children slowly wending their way to the common lying between Green wich and Oley streets and mirth of Eleventh, where the Evangelical Mennonites are holding tabernacle servieos. These religious ser vices are held in a pleasantly located tent similar in size to the dress ing teut attached to a first class circus from which the gaudily bespangled and economi. cally dressed equestriennes and the perform ing athletes emerge. To be exact, the tent is 40 feet by 00 feet, and contained board seats enough for probably persons.

The tent was crowded with young and old persons, and here and. there wideawake babies clam bered about their mothers or fathers, accord ing to the temperament of the latter. Seve ral hundred people "stood outside the tent." Pair young ladies embraced by brilliant hued Jerseys stood about in groups, and others, trimly attired in white, flitted here and there, while young men sat on the fence in threes aud fours ogling them from 'iieath the "corkies" that covered their sand papered heads. The young man endowed with a little more energy wandered about sight seeing or puffing a cigar. The latter were among the persons doubtless attracted to the spot by curiosity or the novelty of tabernacle services.

About 7 o'clock the services were opened with singing, followed by no earnest prayer by Jonas JUusselmnu, who prayed fliat the entire assemblage might be saved. The services were conducted iu Ihe German language. Kev. Musselman took for his text the words, "So teach us to number our days that we may npply our hearts unto wisdom, which may lie found in the twelfth verse of the nineteenth Psalm. The reverend gentleman, among other things, spoke of the brevity of earthly life and the certainty of death, and concluded by earnestly exhorting his hearers to seek salvation through Christ, so to be prepared.no matter when death came.

Before the sermon was delivered, the annouce uient was made in both English and German that all who were disorderly would at once be arrested by the police. It was stated that last week the order had been very bad, and they were determined to have it otherwise. Inside the tent the words of the speaker were listened attentively, and a circle of humanity soon surrounded the tent, they also paying some degree of Those a short distance kept up a halt subdued hum conversation, but moderate order prevailed. At eight o'clock, just as a refreshing breeze was gratefully wafted o'er the heads of the audience, the sermon was concluded. The breeze failed to be of benefit the minister, however, who occupied an elevated position at the northern end of the teuti aad vigorously fanned himself as the brethren and sisters joined in singing the, hymn, Come to Jesus." No oue having appeared at the anxious bench to relieved of soul oppressing sins, the services were closed at about half past 8 o'clock, just before which' time Officers Gable and Malone appeared to preserve order, should any oue attempt to create a disturbance.

It was announced that sorrices will be held at the same place at 7.0 this evening. Services similar to those of last evening; were also held by Kev. Musselman yesterday morning and afternoon. Though held under the auspices of the Evangelical Meunouites, all ure, welcome. No denominational doctrines are expounded, but the Word of God is plainly preached, the exercises being held after the manner of Evangelists.

WHAT TWO BERRY PICKERS FOUND. A Thicket in Franklin County. Hiding RSlnnler IMkiniiKlntr Eviuence Aci uiiiiilaliiiK AgniiiNt Inther. Ciiamiikbshi'iui, Aug. 0.

On Sunday, July 10th, as a man and his son were picking berries in the mountains, near Concord, a village in Franklin county, near the line between it and Perry county, they discovered a humun skeleton which bore nil the evidences of having been a long time exposed. The skull, ribs and parts of the limbs wore found on the spot, and some other parts that had been dragged away have since been found, licsidc the bones there were found a knife, part of a bullet and other small trinkets, which are thought to be sufficient lo identify the remains. The discovery was reported to a local justice, who informed Ihe District Attorney of Franklin county, who authorized him lo hold an inquest. As the remains were supposed to be those of a tramp or wandering peddler, the officer hesitated in sending the Coroner on an expensive journey of thirty miles inlo the mountainous country. lint later develop ments indicate tbat A IIKITAI Ml'UllKlt has been and the authorities are diligently investigating the case.

In Ihe au tumn of 1878, a boy fourteen years of age, named George Devenney, a son of D. Porter Devenney, disappeared from the neighborhood and has not been seen since. Some time before his final disappearance, young Devenney was charged with larceny, and was pursued by officers, but escaped from the neighborhood, although he was afterward seen in that locality. The remains discovered are believed to be those of George Devenney, and District Attorney Suesserott, 6f the county, made an investigation into the matter, and detailed a special officer to proceed lo the locality and arrest William Knox, a blacksmith, to whom young Devenney had been apprenticed. This was done upon the oalh of Mr.

Devenney, but the officer ascertained that the charge against Knox was grouudless, and came into Ihe pos session of evidence pointing to the guilt of Devenney himself. PAHAOINO EVIDENCE ACA1NST A FATIIHll. Knox was accordingly discharged and De venney lodged in jail on a charge of murder ing his son The officials are very reticent about' details of the case, but from other sources it was learned that very damaging evidence is accumulating against the father. seems that some men who were hunting in that neighborhood wore attracted by a verv offensive smell, which upon tracing they l'ouud proceed trom wbai appeared to be a new made grave. They did not investigate ihe matter, but repofted the fact to others, and.

a snort time after a party proceeded to the spot only to find that the grave opened and robbed of what at that time was supposed be the body of young DevennCy. There was no legal action taken then. 1. Porter Devenney is known and feared in the district where he lived as A lF.SI"r.RATI! ClIAllACTCR, and this accounts fur much of the apparent indifference of the people of the neighborhood concerning his new difficulty. He has been the penitentiary for larceny, and also confined in the jail hero for the same offense.

A few years ago he ccnpcd from Ihe jail here, but was recaptured. yince he has been arrested much id' his wickedness is being ia the and' the subsequent investigation Deveumj removed the body to where it was lounu, a lonely spot far from atiy habitation, For prudential reasons the'bistrict Attorney discloses very little, and as the scene of the tragedy is out of range of the telegraph, details of the crime and finding of the body are necessarily meagre.

u. Camp lleynolds was opened without any special lormalily. Fragments of regiments have been arriving as early as Thursday evening, and during Friday and up to 10 o'clock this morning. Complete data are unattainable to night, mil all tne regiments are quite full. The printed programme for the day, with a dress parade, came on from 4 to 7 p.m.

It is estimated that with the sixteen regiments, the Sheridan Troop, of Tyrone, the City Troop, of Philadelphia, the Washington Troop, of Delaware, two batteries of artillery, two unattached companies font colored) from Philadelphia, and UieState Fen cibles, Philadelphia, four companies, fully 8,000 men are now iu camp to night. The leading regiments ore the First, of Philadelphia, Colonel Weidersheim; the Thirteenth, of Colonel P.ores; the Eighteenth, of Pittsburg, Colonel Guthrie, hetween wnien there will be quite a rivalry. Great efficiency is claimed for the full force. The camp is happily located. The City Troop left after inspection, and will camp at Mexico to night.

The health of the camp has so far been excellent. There are no serious cases of sickness and but few accidents have occurred, none of which were serious. The weather is very warm. The provision made to supply the camp with water is a failure. This emails great discomfort and inconvenience.

It was discovered in time to prevent two sections of an excursion train with over 1,100 passengers on board from running into il.

Stichter took the floor and read an article from the AmrtKaa tirmrr in ri'Ierence io me ale of a remarkable Jersey cow by I homas aircart. of Ilaeerstown, to Walts Seih, of Baltimore county, that State, or 12,000. The cow is registered as "value liUll." and after she had dropped her second calf produced the phenomenal yield of a pounds ot butter in one week, a record icu has never been eqiialleJ by a cow ol her age; and has ouly been exceeded by one cow of any age.

Mr. Taggart, the former bought the cow of Newell, of New llrunswick, N. on the lid of July, 18.8, tor $150. Col. Slichter said that the coming lair, unuer the auspices of the society, would no douht be the most successful that has ever been held in the county, and he hoped to see a creditable display in every department and especially in cattle.

There should be none hut thorough bred cattle, or grades with the admixture ot the best blood, on exhibition, and particular reference should bo had to the milking capa city and production of butter of cows exhibited. Judge Stilzel, who had scrreu on uie com mittee to revise the premiums, said that lite premiums had been so graded as to offer the highest sums tor tnorouguorea cauie, in jiucr to encourage the keeping of such cattle in the county, and the premiums' for all other cattle were such that farmers would soon find it to their advantage to exhibit none but blooded stock. President Zerr said that he was sure that it anv farmer of the county had cattle to answer 1 he description or ine jersey cow, rrau oj Col. Slichter, they would be glad to exhibit them at the fair. I.

C. Becker, said that some ot our farmers have "native cattle," of which they are proud, and they should not be excluded from exhibiting them. President Zerr slated that provision had been made for Ihe exhibition of grade cuttle, or crosses of the various breeds, but that the premiums wero certuinly not as high as those offered tor tliorougiiureus. Frederick Lauer presented papers containing reports of Hon. A.

B. Butler, of South Carolina, Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, iu reference to "Pisciculture," a subject which was discussed at the last monthly meeting of Ihe society. Secretary Fox lcferied to the publication of an abbreviated report of the discussion in the Turf, FiHtl and Farm, of the 7lh of July last James Buskirk, of Ruscombiuaiior township, exhibited heads of "Ohio Marsh" wheat, grown from seed obtained from the Department of Agriculture and distributed by Congressman Krmentroul. Th yield from pint aud a half of Beed was a ljiishel and a half of very fine wheat. The Secretary exnimicu a large jiacaago letters received during the post mouth, the most of them being applications for space at the Fair, and asking for information in regard tn the rules and reenlations.

A number were also received from a ronauts, proprietors of side shows, flying stages and other amusements. The Secretary slated arrange mcnts for the fair were a month ahead of last year, and that there were the most promising indications for a largo and successful exhibition. Col. Stichter announced that the Keystone Agricultural Society had been reorganized and would hold an exhibition in the week succeeding the Berks County Fair. 1 A discussion of the plowing question then ensued, a report of which will appear in tomorrow's issue.

A distribution of turnip and rutabaga seeds, sad of premium lists and postern of the coming fair, followed. The farmers present each a of a took a number of copies of the premium list along for distribution among their neighbors. "What implements are best adapted for the pulverizing of the soil?" was adopted as the subject for discussion at the next meeting, after which the society adjourned to meet on Saturday, September 2d, at 1.30 p. m.

Aug. 0. Yesterday was a bed day for Pottslown base ball clubs. It was cer tainly their day off. The Alerts went to Poltsville and were trimmed out by the Anthracites in five innings the game being cut Bhort to allow the visitors time to catch the train for home.

The score was: Anthracites, 15 Alerts, 2. Shitiehouse, the catcher, who was taken back on the nine, played without a mask, and early in the game, while close to the batter, received a terrific stroke from the ball, it taking him on the upper part of the nose, breaking that organ and damaging his leu eye. A ball hour delay occurred, after which the game was resumed, with a Pottsvillo player named Cavauaugh playing in place of Shinehoiise. D.

Archer, of Philadelphia, 18; Poltstown, 1 was the score of the game here, played on the new and very rough grounds of the home club, which, on account of their better adaptation to farming than ball playing, will probably be abandoned for the the latter purpose. In this game the Potts town expected to use a very strong nine, but the pitcher, Mountain, failing to come to time, and Ihe third baseman, Holland, being sick, they were left in a bad condition, substitutes being picked up on the field a1 few minutes before the game commenced. The nine was consequently changed about several times. The umpire played an effective game for the visitors, InsMecisions being decidedly in favor of the Philadelphians. Naturally this dissatisfied the crowd nnd there was lots of jeering aud grumbling.

The game was so uniutoresting that quite a number of persons left the grounds in disgust. The management promise to redeem this display, nud will no doubt use every effort to do so. Following is the score of yesterday's game by innings Archer 2 5 0 5 2 12 0 118 Pottslown 0 0 0 0 0 0 01 Umpire Thomas Caufield, of Philadelphia.

as It of READING'S PERPLEXITY. THEORY OF PRES'T COWENS SILENCE Miiiiioik of Ilia Mind OivluK Way Denied An Important Connection In the I.cIHku Valley Believed to 1 be Hatching. It is slated in a New York paper that Mr. Goweu'8 long and uuusual silence with regard to the mission which took, him to Europe several mont Us ago has been regarded from the fir. as ominous by those who are best acquainted with his usual disposition to telU I he knows.

It is stated that if he had any thing to say policy would induce him lo say at once, but ho still maintains the unacous. tomed reticence that has so perplexed his friends throughout the term of his present so journ abroad. After referring to the mission which took Mr. Gowen to London, the New York paper says: 1 GOWKS'S SIIINCS. "Since then numerous hints and indirect statements have been made public touching ihe success of his mission.

It was at first asserted, on the authority of a letter said to have been received from him and sent here by several parties who claim to have recognized his handwriting, that he had negotiated for 40,000,000 of the 6 per cent, consolidated loan which it was his mission to place. The price was variously estimated at from 98 to par. A leading broker and banker on Third street openly said he had very high authority for the statement that information had been received hy cable that the entire amount had been placed at This dispatch was supposed, of course, to come from Mr. Gowen, but it has since been attributed to James Mcllenry. Apart from outgivings of this unofficial and second hand description, nothing was heard from Mr.

Gowen respecting the loan until June 27th, when the whole scheme for refunding Reading indebtedness was rehearsed hy a double column ad vertisement in the papers of Phi'adelphia and ork. in this advertisement a first of fering was made of $1 3,600,000 of the proposed five per cent, consolidated loan. This sum was the entire balance of the proposed loan of $80,000,000, after providing for the conversion of outstanding bonds tothe amount of $lib 500,000. Nothing was said in this advertisement or by the Reading authorities respecting any foreign subscriptions to the loan, and nothing definite has been said since. A gentleman largely interested iu Heading recently telegraphed Mr.

Gowen, asking him point blank whether he had or had not succeeded in placing any part of the loan abroad. Mr. Gowen replied, through Acting President Keim, to the effect that nothing could be made public as yet, and when information could be given It would be sent to the press. This, message is believed to be Ihe last heard from Gowen touching the loan. He went abroad to negotiate, lie has now been gone four months, and the feeling has lately been spreading in this community that he might slay four months longer without accomplishing anything more than he has Jono so far.

In other words, he does not say anything, because he has nothing tossy. A leading member of the Board of Brokers, who has been a staunch partisan of Mr. Gowen, and who is known to be intimately connected with the Reading management, spoke out in the meeting to day aud plainly announced it strange that Mtt. (IOWEN HAS UTTERLY rAlLKB the undertaking that carried him to Europe. was further intimated in the course of con versation that he has practically retired from the Reading management, and, in the opinion the speaker, is not likely to be heard from again in connection with Reading affairs.

iWsS m.9.n.fI.m,ely received by the Reading ws iuui ioo. The subscription wrfce was 'Mr, and this would give the treasury $7,500,000, which is just about the sum requireu ny me current and contemplated payments made by the company. It is believed that the subscriptions to the of the 6 jer cent. consols amounted in this city to nearly 000 000, but these subscriptions were conditional, and have doubtless in effect, if not in fact, been withdrawn, numors mat r. Gowen's mind had given away, or was on the point of giving way, have been floating for some time, but although he was known to have retired to a European neaitn resort, mes stories have not been believed, nor are they believed now.

Tlie facilities possessed by the broker referred to for Knowing wnereoi iib speaks are, however, too great to permit his utterances to be classed with mere street ru mor, especially since they are connrmeu ny the circumstantial evidence of Mr. Gowen failure to forward the money which he saul was awaiting hiin in hurope. is prouauio that more will be developed in tins direction in a few days." ANOTHEU THEORY. ti. thenrv of Mr.

Gowan's silence does not appear to fiud much support on Third street. Several prominent bankers there hold to the supposition that arrangements have been made in such a way and with such parlies that Mr. Gowen is under a bond of extreme secrecy and will not reveal any thing. They combat the assertion mat ms silence is owing to an existing condition of affairs that it would be disastrous to make known, and believe that there is nothing beyond ordinary policy regarding already fixed arrangements that induces him to keep his mouth closed. tne oenei is mucij tained that Vaudcrbilt is with him and that his present reticence is caused by plans that are now maturing for a connection between the New York Central Railroad and the Heading, the point of couneclion io ne somewhere up the Lehigh Valley.

No one seems to know anything definite about the matter, however, but it is asserted that a million dollars was raised some time ago for the purpose of effecting the proposed connection. A prominent broker and extensive Reading operator said to day that Reading stock will boom regularly iu a short time, notwilhstand inir the present entanglement, anu poiuis and points to the significant fact that well intormed nnan ciers at Saratoga have made large purchases within the last two weeks.
