Philadelphia, Oct 18 The irq'iPBt upon the bccies the mice victims of toe fire at Lsndenberget's mtll last week was held today at th Coroner's rflhe. An eleolric lamp, similar to those in we at the mill, was eree'ed abive the Coroner's desk to ficiliWte ihit officer and the jury in their deliberations.

The jury fiod that Joseph Harvey, owner of the mills, is criminally responsible for the lots rf life in neglecting to furnish proper means of escape in esse of a fire.

The find that the oityof Philadelphia is responsible for not en forcing the laws in compelling Joseph Harvey to erect proper fire escapes. The jury believes that the book keeper, William Hoiztncot, is censurable for not making some efforts to save the lives of the operatives instead of the efleoti of the office. At an indignation meeting to night, on a lot adjoining the Laudenberger Mill, some six hundred workmen were present. The speakers denounced the owner of the mill for not having provided tire escapes, and the book keeper, who, they said, instead of making an effort to Have lives, busied himself in taking care of the books and papers of the otlice. It was announced that Mr.

Thomas Dolan had offered to subscribe fiv hundred dollars to any iund for the relief of the distressed, and a committee, consisting of Mr. Polan, John Wana uiaker, A. J. Drexel and Frank McLaughlin, was appointed to receive contributions. A resolution was adopted calling upon Councils to pans a bill compelling the owners of mills, Ac to erect tire escapes.

It is believed that the Preshiro'. would have preferred not to have nude any charges in Ihe Cabinet until the December sesioj, but the urgent rrqaesis cf Messrs Wmdom and M8cVesgb to be relieved at the earliest rnc ticable day makes it necessary for him to select their successors fjre the sCj iuin ment of the present session of the hena'e. As the President is thus fmed to make an immediate movement in the direction of reorganizing the Cabinet, it is understood that he intends to make at one time all the changes that are contemplated in the heads ot departments.

The President has thus far managed to keep hie plans irim exposure, and while many names are freely spoken of in connection wih Cabinet no one can state positively the name of a tingle individual who has been seleoted by the Freiicent. Prom conversations witb those who ere known to bear close relations with the President, and to enjoy his confidence, it in believed that ex Senators Frrling huveen. of New Jersev, and Howe, of Wiscon sin, and Judge Folger, of New York, are now on tbe Catduet slate, and that ex Senator Sar gen', of CsMorni, and ueo. l.onestreet ot Georgia, are likely to be adiied to the lit.

Norwich, Oct. 18. Ex PreBident Rutherford B. Hayes arrived here late on Saturday evening, and was tbe guest "over Sunday" of the Itev Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, pastor of the Tal church, the wealthiest pariah in the city.

The ex President came unnoticed and unattended, and doubtless little thought that his visit to this sleepy town would cause such a commotion as has been awakened in thin section of Connec ticut. Dr. Bacon two years ago last summer denounced in scathing invective the manacers of the pleasure steamer Kiln for taking out one or two excursion parties on Sundny. At a tent mass meeting he presented his views so strongly that he Suudav patronage of the steamer was ruined and the enterprise has never since been revived. Dr.

Bacon went so far an to cause the arrest of James Walker, the manager of the line, digging up for this purpose the old Con necticut "lime haw upon wmcn ne baned ins sweeping statements. The statute is as follows: Section (W. Every proprietor or driver of any vehicle not employed iu currying the United Ktate mail: who Bliall allow any person to travel thereiu oo bunilay, between Buunee and sunsot, except from necefsity or mercy, shall be fined $20, to he paid to the town iu which the offence is committed. Dr. bacon's conduct created intense feeling against him among the working people, and his action yc.

tonlay in violating the same law which he then so strenuously upheld has been severelv commented on by the press and by many ot our citizens. UnMinuay atiernoon Dr. ASacoutook ex President Hayes and CougresMnan John Wait in a tine team and drove ins distinguished guests about the city, visiting the principal places of interest. By the provisions of the utatute above quoted the Doctor has rendered himself liable to arrest, inaHmuch as he acted as a driver for the party, and it is announced this evening that manager Walker, of the persecuted steamboat line, is considering the propriety of bis apprehension.

THB FINANCES OF THB STATE, "It is considered imponant tkaiiou should be fully informed concerning the manrer in which the Republican party has manaeed the finanoes of the Commonwealth since 1 SCO tie first year that trust was committed to it. Fur a period of twenty years tbe Democrats bave only had charts ot tbe Staie Treasury three years, in 1853 under McGra'h, end in 1878 and 1879 nnder A Noyes. Io 1861 tbe debt of Pennsylvania was ihe largest owed by any State in the Union, and $3,000,000 was then necessarily added to the enorrnou load to enable our trcopi lo march to the de'euce of the nation's Die.

FRANK HAIN'g MANAGEMENT OF THK EIEVATID RAILWAY SY8TEM OF NEW YORK CITY HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED, The tollcving appears as an editorial in (be last number of ihe Eltvaud Railway Journal oi mrs city An announcement in which the traveling public will feel interested is that all parties in tbe Klevated railway litigation have united in requesting the present General Manager to remain in the position he has tilled for nearly two years and operate the roads as he has been doing, and that that gentleman has acceded to their request. This action on the port of the contesting litigants in certainly a high compliment to Col. Hain, yet it is well deserved and reflects no more credit upon hie integrity aud ability than it does upon thoir judgment and discrimination.

Col. Haiu has operated the complicated Elevated railway System of this city under disadvantages which none of his predecessors bad to contend with. Few perhaps outside his own office know the annoyance to which he has been subjected, aud the quiet patience he has manifested, lie was held responsible tor the general policy of the company, and the morals and conduct of every individual employe in its If an obstinate passenger attempted to board a I moving train and got hurt, tbe General Main i ger wan blamed. If a rear collision occurred in a blinding mist the inventors of all the patent tog hornB and signals extant said "we told bim how it would be." livery newspaper iu the city gave hiin the benefit of its large store of practical railway knowledge, and although no two of them agreed each assured the public that if its counsel was unheeded the General Manager alone must auswer for the awful consequences of his neElcct. Everv nettv dispute in the service was brought to liiin for adjustment, and every man and boy out of employment in the metropolis and for twenty miles arouud it believes that he could get work on the Elevated it' the chief executive otiicer would only consent and appoint him.

For monthj after he entered hie present position he was made the shining target for the pointless wit and clumsy sareasin.ol' the reportorial fraternity of the entire city, and when these railway meu on paper could find nothing present to criticise or condemn, they employed their sharpened Falters aud dull imaginations in the construction of dire predictions of impending disasters in the future. The General Manager has, in spite of all this, mode on excellent record, and he has outlived carping aud unjust critichjm. flis management has been a success, and no higher recognition of liia fact can well be conceived than the unanimity with which all the contending elements in a bitter legal struggle now request him to remain in a position of so much responsibility.
