His company had large orders for pea coal, the grade most used in manufacturing, and at times lately had been rather hard pressed to meet the demand, bnt had managed to do so by drawing from other sources. There is now a stock of bO.000 tons of all grades at Port tficn mond the smallest the Reading Company has had there for a long time. A representative of the individual operators believed that the restriction placed upon production by the agreement had done as much as anything else toward effecting the noticeable change for the better in onr industries, and that in the near future, with the development of new markets for anthracite in South America, trade would be still farther benefited. XX EIGHT YEAR OLD MAX." How He Support! His Mother and How He Lodged at a Station House. "Mister, where do yon live, please, sir?" This question was addressed to a gentleman connected with a Market street mercantile firm as he emerged from the Post Office the other evening.

Struck with the oddity of the question, the young man stopped and looked at the questioner a boy of seven or eight years of age, well dressed and very dignified, with none of the "gamin" about him. Why do you ask, my friend?" "Because I thought yon might be able to tell me where the Union street station house is, if you said you lived on Union street." "I know where that is," said the yonng man; "what do you want there?" I want a night's lodging," said the boy. "At the Central Station they told me to go to the Union street station house for it." The Jenng man was going that way and said he would take the boy to it, and, as they walked along, he asked the latter who he was. "I live in Buffalo, New York," said the little fellow, "and sell pictures on the steam cars. Mostly small chromos.

I get ten cents apiece for them. I pay five cents for them in Buffalo, but heard I could get them for two cents in Philadelphia. The conductors know me and let me ride free. Do you know Mr. superintendent of the Railroad I do he's a nice man." "Did you bring any money with you asked the young man, smiling at the boy's business air.

"I have two dollars made that way," answered the boy, but people pay me more in food than in money, so I got more food sometimes than I can manage. I don't like them to pay me that way and you can't blame a man for supporting his mother, can you? I would rather be paid in money." Strnck with the resolute independence of the curious little boy, the young man resolved to take him home with him if he could not be accommodated at the station house, and offered to take care of his money for him till next day, but with a keen, wide awake look in his evo and a polite thank you" on his lips the boy declined the offer. When they arrived at the station house the turnkey said they would take care of the boy and give him a breakfast in the morning. What is that asked the boy, as he heard some oaths and other not strictly ladylike re marks by a temale voice proceeding from a cell. "A drunken woman we have arrested." Will I have to stay in one of those cells down continued the boy.

That's where all our voluntary lodgers sleep we have nowhere else to put them," answered the officer. I can't do it," said the boy, firmly I can't stay near those arrested pooplo. Can I sloop on that bench over thore in the corner Certainly," said the ofiicer. And on the slate that night was written William Green, ago, Buffalo, New York." RESUMPTION RIGIIT AT HOME. The Banks Thinking Seriously of Admitting the Complete Downfall of Gold, The resumption of specie payments by one Chicago and one Cincinnati bank on Monday seems likely to become instrumental in causing something of the kind here.

Bankers and brokers and storekeepers talked about "the good day at hand" yesterday in a way that surprised themselves. In the morning news cama from New York that the banks thore have almost' concluded not to wait for the day of national resumption, but to begin redeeming their notes in gold on tho 1st proximo. Nevertheless the bankers here are not yet outspoken iu the matter. From talks had with various bank presidents in the afternoon it was indicated that Philadelphia money men will hold back until Congress shall pass the Seuate finance committee's bill providing for the acceptance of legal tenders on their face value for duties on and after July 1. Philadelphia bankers, as was said on Third street, will be sure to drift along in the wake of resumption nntil complete financial healthfulness shall be assured, as everything in the money market here, to the East and in the West, appears to foreshadow.

Meanwhile with gold at less than one quarter of a cent premium the number of shrewd business men who have begun to give the precious metal out over their counters for change is daily on the increase. They do this for the purpose of drawing customers by the novelty, of course, but it is a strong practical illustration of the fact that things are merging into the same state here as in San Francisco, where greenbacks yesterday wore quoted at par. Bnllock field for Erabezzlment. Samuel R. Bullock, a lately traveling salesman for Palm fc Fechteler, importers of transfer ornaments, New York, had a hearing beforo Magistrate Smith yesterday on ttie charge of embezzling collections made here.

Mr. Fechteler paid the amount was about S100 and that in all about hud been collected and spent in about a month. The collections here were entirely unauthorized and to got the money. The bills not being yet due, Bullock allowed two per cent, discount. No returns of this were made.

The firm secured Bullock's arrest in Baltimore. Daniel Dick, japanuer, George litich Co. and Hugo llroemer testified to having paid bills in advance of maturity, securing; a discount. Counsel argued that the firm had acted prematurely in arresting Bullock without giving him opportunity to report, but Magistrate Smith said the circumstances indicated fraud aud held the accused under 8000 bail. The City of Cape Slay Point.

An election was held yesterday at Cape May Point, N. better known as Sea Urove, for Mayor, Council and other otlicers. There were twenty eight candidates for the various ottlces of the new city government. Mr. Cornelius Simpson, a well known citizen of Cape May county, was chosen Mayor, and a council of four and a full complement of city otlicers were also elected.

The name of the new city has been changed to Cape May Point, more easily lo distinguish it from the numerous seaside resorts prefixed by ocean and sea and suffixed by grove and the like. Three years ago this site was nothing but a wild beach, without a single house, but now there are over one hundred houses erected, and still others in progress, and more than twenty five families making Cape May Point their permanent home.

Schollenberger Sons, the big up town skin dressers, having had their forty four suits ftguinst that number of insurance companies thrown out of the United States Circuit Court, one of their counsel, A.

Sydney Biddle, went to Washington, on Monday, and obtained from the Supreme Court ot the United States a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue against the Judges of the Circuit Court here commanding them to restore the writs. The rule is made returnable on Monday a week, at which time it will have to be argued in Washington. The proceeding is rather a novel one in legal practice, the general custom being to await the regular order of appeals from the lower court's decision. The Bituminous Coal Exchange.

On the evidence submitted at the trial of Henry Ward Beecher Vie Timet reached the conclusion that he was guilty of the charge brought against him. Since thai time wo have seen no reason to change the opinion then recorded, though we should have shared the satisfaction of all right minded people in finding sufficient grounds to believe in Mr.

Beecher'a innocence. The Timet proclaimed the guilt of Mr. Beecher on other grounds than the confession and retraction of Mrs. Tilton. The card from her which we publish to day does not, therefore, strengthen the case against him as it baa been regarded in these columns.

It is worthless as legal evidence, however strongly it may confirm the moral presumption of Mr. Beecher's guilt. As for Mr. Beecher, he remains the impure and perjured man which any rational construction of his own letters proved him to be. T'te Timet, Since the seven successive suicides of Mr.

Mantalini there has been nothing like the confessions of Mrs. Tilton. In common we hope with most of our readers we have so fur discharged this disgusting business from our mind that at this writing we are not able to say whether Mrs. Tilton has three times asserted and twice denied or twice asserted and three times denied herself to be what she now once more insists that she is. Mr.

Beecher consistently maintains that she is no such person, for which Mr. Tilton will no doubt be Grateful if. as is now reported, he is on the point of once more seekiner peace, mercy and grace in his contueal nest.

Mrs. Tilton's statements have been so con tradictory that nothing she can say will be deemed worthy oi belief, except so far as it may be corroborated by other and better evidence. This unhappy woman, bruised by many trials and much suffering, should be judfred without harshness: for. whatever may be her character, she is the victim of the sins of others. Her intellect seems to have been shattered by her trials, or a sense of utter desolation and helplessness may have made her a passive tool of others It became known a week or two since that she had consented to be dependent on her husband for future support, and perhaps this confession is the condition on which it is granted.

The letter of Mrs. Tilton is, like all the lit erature of the scandal, somewhat overstrained in language and spasmodic in general tone; but in one particular, at least, it bears the appearance of sincerity. Whatever we may think of this amazing woman, whichever of her ranny contradictory statements we may take to be lies, there can be no doubt that she has lived seven or eight years of cruel an guish. It is impossible to think of her past without mercy, of her future without compassion.

MAD. WELLS' LIBEL CRUSADE. He Will Sue McClure In the United States Courts When He Gets Ready. J. Mad.

Wells' Interview in Washington Post. "How about your threatened libel suit against Alex. K. McClure "I shall take my time in instituting the suit, and I don't propose to institute it in a Pennsylvania court, nor at the home of the editor of Thb Times, if I can obtain service upon him elsewhere." "You intend, then, to sue in the United States Courts?" Yes not being a citizen of Pennsylvania I have aright to bring the action in the United States Courts." "What in the publications in The Times constitutes the libel?" A defamation of character contained in an article published about the latter part of March. This is about the extent of what I propose to say on the subject at present What, in substance, are the charges made against you by The Times? That I have been a defaulter, a murderer and a mule thief." "What have you to say to the Post concerning these charges?" Simply this that they all are false infamously so.

Two of these charges were investigated by the special committee, of which Mr. Morrison waschair man, that went to Louisiana in December, 1870, to investigate the Louisiana election. I refer you to the printed testimony for my vindication." These two charges were "Defalcation and murder. The other charge about the mules was made by an anonymous correspondent of the New Orleans Democrat and copied by Tub Times." Do you intend to sue the New Orleans Dcmo cratt" Yes, at a proper time, and every paper in the State of Louisiana that has published the article." Are you not afraid of the juries do' i 1 am not alrald of the Jiirlus when the subject matter is of a personal character. I am afraid of the juries when the subject matter is political.

I am afraid of Louisiana juries when political questions are involved, because I have had my experience of them in the Anderson trial." The Historian Will Owe Much to "The Times."

After Blasins Pistorins had been sentenced, on Saturday, to hang by the neck nntil he was dead, and after he had denounced Judge Mitchell as a "murderer of justice" and his counsel as being tn league with the German Minister to destroy his life, a number of lawyers standing around commented upon the current rumor that the prisoner, although reported a regularly accred ited priest, had not been officially visited by clergymen of his own faith, and that none his kith had battled in his behalf. Speaking yesterday on this very point, a gentleman whose word is law on all matters of ecclesiastical rules or regulations said The question as to whether Pistorius is or has been a regularly recognized priest in this diocese does not enter into the matter. Why have not the priests visited him officially The course of the Pottsville clergy in the Mollio Magnire cases will exemplify this. The priests who attended those men prior to their conviction never suggested to them the idea of confessing, and not even nntil the prisoners had given up all hope of Executive clemency were they nrged to approach the sacraments and why? for fear they might make sacrilegious confessions conceal something they should tell. That is the policy of the church.

Remember, in this connection, that the Church holds that a Catholic clergyman is as amenable to the laws of the couutry as any other citfeen, and therefore, even thongh Pistorius was in good standing, after he had proved himself faithless for so it would be termed by killing a fellow man, the clergy, as a body, would no more unite for his acquittal than they would for that of any ordinary desperado. Another thing that would keep priests away from Pistorius' cell is his well known violent temper in other words, his insanity, for insane he is if ever there was a man whose reason is unstrung." The story of his recent life will tell the talo. PISTOKIUS IN GERMANY. Pistorius came to this country in the spring of 1875. Prior to that time be was priest of a parish in the diocese of Treves, Germany.

The bishop under whom he served has since died. The attitude of Prince Bismarck toward the Church had in Pistorius one of its most active, though not wisest or most effective, opponents. It is said that in his sermons and upon other ac easions he frequently went further in his onslaughts upon the German Chancellor than was required of him by his religion, and sometimes displayed intemperance like that which has marked his conduct in prison and court room, and which, more than anything else, was the cause of the popular feeling raised against him throughout Montgomery county during the progress of his trial and after his conviction of murder in the first degree in that place. So general and so bitter was this feeling that his counsel, after the Supreme Court had granted an ordor for a new trial, sought and procured a "change of venue" and brought the case before the Philadelphia court, which has pronounced a second sentence of death. HIS CREDENTIALS AS A PRIEST.

Although Pistorius received no official notice that his over zealous conduct was placing him in the way of Bismarck's wrath, he somehow got into his hot head the idea that a longer stay upon German soil would not be conducive, to say the least, to any immunity from Imperial vengeance. Impelled by this belief and also, as he has said, a desire to see his brother John, then a farmer located near Norristomn, Blasias packed up and camo to America. Without delay he went to his brother, and began to work a little on the farm for the sake of exercise. On the 17th of June, when he had been but a few weeks In the country, Pistorius visited the Rev. John Monaghan, pastor of St.

Patrick's Church, Jfor ristown, at the parochial residence, and asked, not very respectfully but rather demanded as his right permission to celebrate Mass and perform other sacerdotal functions at that church. The conversation which took place between Father Monaghan and Pistorius upon this occasion was entirely in Latin. Pistorius could not speak English, but Father Monaghan, who is an excellent Latin scholar and conversationalist, found thestranger a master of the tongue of the Csesars. Pistorius presented credentials that were signed by the Bishop of Treves, and were similar to thoso generally given a clergyman of good standing when he is about to go far away from his diocese. By a law of the Church a pastor is forbidden to permit a priest from another diocese, even though it be the one adjoining, to celebrate Mass at the visited church more than once until after consultation with the Bishop.

Indeed, he may not extend this privilege without such consultation, unless be knows that the visitor is a priest in good standing. HIS LETTER TO THE ARCHBISHOP. Thus, in a case like that of Pistorius, the applicant, being an utter stranger, must present proper creden tials or be denied the privilege of celebrating Mass even oneo before the pastor has consulted with his superior. Now, although Father Monaghan had no reason to doubt that the credentials of Pistorius were genuine he decided, after considering the remoteness of Treves, that his wisest course would be to decline the stranger's request until it should receive the sanction of Archbishop Wood or his representative. Accordingly, having explained the case to Pistorius, he told him that he did not feel at liberty to comply with his wishes without the Archbishop's approval.

On that very day the head of the archdiocese was receiving the pallium, and was in the midst of ceremonies which for some days would prevent his Grace from attending to routine business, father Moneghan, therefore, instructed Pistorius to write, stating his case, to Vicar General Carter, and at that point the interview ended, the stranger departing in rather an unamiablo mood. It was not until another month had elapsed and the arrest of Pistorius, in July, 1875, for the murder of Isaac Jaquette, had occurred, that the public were in possession of the report that had written to ecclesiastical headquartersto the Archbishop himself for permission to exercise in Norristown tho functions of a priest. The letter, it is said, was not only undignified, but absolutely impudent and insulting. It contained, as a sort of postscript, the sentence: 1'res horat conceduntur," by which the Archbishop was given to understand that only three hours were granted him wherein to answer. Of course no further notice of the epistle was given by the recipient, and to this was shortly added another cause the arrest of Pistorius that kept him from the performance of priestly duties.

Subsequently all doubt as to his being a priest was removed by a letter from the Bishop of Treves to one of the counsel for Pistorius, corroborating the genuine Bess of his credentials. Speaking yesterday of the inclination on the part of Catholic clergymen to remain in ignorance of the Pistorius case, Colonel Boyd, one of Montgomery county's leading lawyers and who was joined in the defense of Pistorius, mentioned Father Monaghan as an instance. That good priest and gentleman," he said, "who was so charitable to the unfortunate man, desired to know as little as possible of tho case, for the good reason that had the nature of circumstances necessitated his call to the witness stand his testimony, whichever way it tended, might not have been justly accepted by one or other class of the religious public."

The quota fur April was 1,125,000 tons. Thus the entire quota for the period between January 1 and May 31 of this yoar will be 2,500,000 less than was that for tho corresponding poriod of 1877.
