THE HARRISBURG COTTON MILL.

A New EuterprlMc. At a visit made to the Harrisburg Cotton Mill to-day to make a note of the recent improvements to that industrial institution, we were shown a new feature and enterprise lately introduced in the manufacture of cotton bats. These are the finest we have ever seen, and the original manner in which the bats are put up will alone secure for them n. rpndv sinla 'Tim imiM.nimmn..(n i alluded to is a five story steam elevator oiiisiao communicating with every story and the attic. It is entirely fire proof, complete iu its plan and mechanism, and forms an additional proof of the enterprise which has ever characterized this institution.

GROSSIUELTY. A Caae for tho S. P. c. A.

This afternoon about 1 p. as J. A. Boggs, of this city was taking a tramp through Wetzel's swamp, he heard in the distance moans as if proceeding from a human being in pain. Following the direction of the sound, he presently heard a scratching noise mingled with the sound of splashing water.

Arriving upon the spot he found a blind horse embedded in the mire of the swamp, his head only being visible, aud uttering groans truly pitiable. Actuated by commendable humanity, he endeavored to relieve the helpless animal, and from his personal appearance we believe he did, he being literally covered with mud to his waist. He assured us that had he even had a knife he would have relieved the sufferings of the poor brute but, being alone, he was unable to do anything. We commend this case to the S. P.

C. and trust they will find aud bring to justice the heartless owner of the uufor- tunate beast. A SAD CASE. Honest Poverty Relieved. Last evening a sober, intelligent looking man, accompanied by his wife, who bore in her arms an infant scarcely five weeks old, made application to Alderman D.

A. Kepner for relief. Upon hearing their story the kind-hearted "Squire" interested himself in their behalf, and personally presented their case to Mayor Patterson, who, feeling an interest in their condition, offered them lodging for the night, and this morning presented their case in person to the Directors of the Poor. These gentlemen, always ready to relieve destitution, procured for them passage to Philadelppia in the noon train. The story as told the officers is as follows Charles Fisher, the name of the man, was several years ago in good circumstances iu Pittsburg, owning his own home.

A fire destroyed his house on the very day his insurance policy became void, thereby causing him a total loss of house and household goods. By some technicality of law oven tho ground was taken from him and he found himself again at the bottom of the ladder. Nothing daunted however, he went resolutely to work; but a few weeks ago a genoral suspension of work in the mills threw him out of employment. Discouraged by frequent misfortunes, unable to secure employment, he determined to start for Philapelphia, where he has a brother, who, he says, will shelter his family for a few weeks until he can find something to do. To the credit of the Mayor and directors of the poor be it known that their generosity did not end with their official aid to these deserving eleemosynaries, but a sufficient amount of cash from their private purse secured a sufficiency of good food.

Harrisburg can indeed be proud of such officers. Cnmo. ni Sr. no nf David. NV.

June 26. The Grand Army reunions were inaugurated )-day, and the visiting bodies were handsomely received and entertained by the local veterans. The city is profusely decorated with flags, streamers and bunting, numorous appropriate mottoes intermingling, and the streets resound with martial music. The steamer Rhode Island arrived from New York at an early hour, with Governor Hartranft aud his council of administration, aud Posts 2 and 5, Grand Army of the Republic, of Philadelphia, together with representatives of New York and New Jersey. Preacott and Slocum Posts, of this city, received the visitors and escorted them to their headquarters.

Subsequently one of the Philadelphia posts proceeded to Lynn. At a late hour Rhode Island department of the Grand Army received Com-niander-in chief Governor Hartranft and the members of the National Encampment at the hotel, and escorted them to the place of meeting of the National Encampment, which is now in session. Mayor Doyle delivered an adress of welcome to the encampment on behalf of the city, and, after the transaction of some business, an excursion was made down the bay for rest and refreshment. At the session of the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic Commander-in-chief Hartranft eloquently responded to Mayor Doyle's speech of welcome.

The works connected with the Allen- town rolling mill employ about 900 men, and pay out $30,000 to $40,000 per mouth in wages. The Steel mill of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company, Scranton, has resumed work on full time in its various departments. The Pittsburg Putt wants it understood that the Belgian plate glass works are very likely to he erected in that city on account of the cheap coal.

Bridget Martin, the servant girl, for placing the child upon the stove as commanded by the woman, received a sentence imposing a fine of $5 and costs of prosecution, and imprisonment during three months in the county jail.

Additional Particulars THE DAMAGE TO THE BRIDGE. HOUSE ROOFS BLOWN OFF. Many Shade Trees Prostrated. The Growing Crops Much Injured. In addition to the particulars of the violent storm in this city published in the fourth edition of last evening's In dependent, we give the following The estimated loss to the Harrisburg bridge company, by the damage to their structure, is between $9,000 and $12,000.

ihelirst span was not disturbed. The second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth spans had the roof torn oil', except a few small patches, and the weatherboard-ing entirely blown off tho south side and hurled into the river. On the upper or north side the frame work supporting tho weatherboarding is broken to pieces, and the woodwork bent over, obstructing the footway and resting against the arches and other timbers. The third, fourth and fifth spans were moved several feet out of line tho third span probably three feet, which will havo to be "false worked" to support it when the structure will be put again into line. Tho floor of tho bridge is perfectly secure and teams continue to pass as usual.

A great portion of the debris fell into the river, and was caught by fire-wood gatherers in boats. Some of the fragments of the bridge were blown far below the railroad bridge. The damage to the growing crops on the Island was very considerable, the wheat, corn, tomato and other crops being down flat. The westorn. end of the barn was unroofed and the centre of the roof over the barn floor was raised and considerable broken.

The stock was stabled at the time, and the frightened horses began to kick and jump at a lively rate while the building was boing rocked and shaken. Some line fruit trees were also damaged and considerable young fruit knocked off. A now brick house in course of erection, corner of Third and Forster steets, by Mr. Delloue, had tho window sills blown out of position and the brick-work, which is a little above the first story, considerably damaged. Boas' row, consisting of a block of seven three-story bricks on Briggs' street, between Two-and-a-Half aud Third, had the roofs blown off, and carried to tbe rear of the lots on which they are built, breaking down fences and outbuildings.

One of the large galvanized iron ornaments on the east side of the tower of tho pro-cathedral was thrown to the pavement and battered out of shape. A large old maple adjoining Bishop Shauahan's resideuco had a heavy limb torn off, which, in falling struck the ornamental iron fence between the parsonage and the cathedral, breaking it considerably. Many hundreds of fine shade trees in various parts of the city, were either prostrated or broken in such a manner as to render them valueless. In this respect the Capitol park suffered extensively, a number of the most valuable trees being shorn of their limbs. The flower plants encircling the rustic fountain were also roughly handled.

On Allisons' hill the storm swept with much fury. Trees were broken, fences and out-buildings prostrated, and several stables unroofed. At the car company's works a portion of the high fence fronting on Howard street, was blown down. The roof of a large barn belonging to Mr. Rudy on the Reading turnpike was carried away, and a number -of fences prostrated.

The storm passed over but a few minutes before the train entered' the railroad bridge, and had it been on the bridge at the time of the storm, the heavy wind blowing would certainly have carried it off the bridge, and what the result then would have been can easily be' imagined. The storm seems to have struck the city from the north-west, and did not extend much abova Third and Hamilton streets on this sido of the river. Incident of the Storm. During the storm last evening a team of horses attached to II. Fink's brewery wagon became frightened and unmanageable.

They startd to run, but were stopped by colliding with Wm. Moore's flour and feed wagon. The only damage done was the breaking of a shaft on Mr. Moore's vehicle. The Storm Outside the City.

Numerous inquires made this morning failed to elicit much information concerning the damage done in the surrounding country. Several persons testified to having a nice rain but iu one instance the wind coming suddenly upon a family eating supper in a summer kitchen, upset the tablo, broke the dishes, and sent consternation to the hearts of all present. No serious damage resulted beyond the loss of tho meal. Does It Rain Toad This question, prompted by the appearance of myriads of these infant reptiles immediately after a storm, is one which has been frequently asked. Many theories have been advanced to account for the strange phenomenon, but none that we have heard, as yet, are entirely satisfactory.

Our already crowded space will not allow us to give any hitherto advanced theory in this issue, but we invite those who have given this matter their consideration to give their views to the public through our columns.

From the events that have transpired within the past few days it is evident that tlio Mol- ho Maguircs, who Have been driven jrom other portions of the coal regions, arc rendezvousing iu the northern part of Luzerne countv.

The desperadoes have already inaugurated their carnival of crime, embracing assassinations, robbery and arson. Three brutal murders of innocent and offensive miuers have been committed. All of theso crimes have been perpetrated almost within the corporate limits of the cities of Pittston and Scranton. ASSASSINATION AT "sHANTT HILL." The assassination of John Timlin, an ex-alderman, in the streets, at "Shanty Hill," on the outskirts ot Scranton, creates much excitement. The murderer, Michael Burke, a notorious has not beeu apprehended as yet.

COLLIERS THREATENED. Some colliers employed at the works of C. P. Hutchinson who refused to obey certain dictates of the Mollie Ma- guires, havo beeu the recipients of dia bolically emblazoned "colhu OPERATIONS AROUND NANTK'OKE. Nauticoke has always been a sort of re sort for some of the murderous organization, aud but few of the outrages that havo been consummated elsewhere in lie northern coal fields have ever been at tempted there.

Recently, however, the Mollies have commenced their tragical operations in that neighborhood. The first sanguinary affair occurred last night. MINER STARRED TO DHAT1I. At the late hour at thr rime nient ioued a party of miners, who ere returning from pic-uic, were attacn. by a crowd ot ruukeu Mollies, just outside the town.

The colliers were all more or less injured, one of them, Martain Mclntyro, receiving so many that ho expired this morn ing. Auotuer miner, Oeorge W. Farrine, was HOT AND THROWN INTO THE SUSQUE HANNA. Parriue lately came from Ohio, where he a colliery at Mas- silou, and it is presumed that this made mi offensive to the Mollies ot Luzerne county. An attempt has also been made upon the life ot Matthew 1 brother of the murdered man.

After the commission of their crime the bandits crossed ho Susquehanna river and escaped to their haunts iu the mouutians that have afforded them a safe shelter for a long period. FOUND DEAD ON THE RAILROAD. Yesterday afternoon the body of an unknown man, dressed in the garb of a miner, was found upon the track of the Lehigh and Susquehanna railroad, and an examination showed that the man had been a victim of Mollie Maguire hatred, as in one of his pockets was found one of the rude, but suggestive, Klu-klux epistles that are sent to obnoxious persons by the members of the organization. GUARDING TnE COAL BREAKERS. The gravest apprehensions are felt in regard to the movements of the Mollies.

and not only are the coal-breakers in some of the districts carefully guarded to prevent their demolition by the incendiary's brand, but mine superintendents and bosses are provided with a strongly armed bodyguard. IN COLUMBIA AND NORTHUMBERLAND. The Columbia and Northumberland county Mollies, who have made no pre datory incursions for quite a length ot time, appear to be becoming restless again, although up to the present time no actual law-breaking has been indulged in at any point. Delegates from those regions attended a meeting of the brotherhood near Locust Gap Junction, the former home of Pat Hester, the now doomed "King of the Mollie Maguires," on Sunday morning last, and it is judged from this that preparations are being made for some kind of brigandage Some outlawry has been committed in the mountain districts adjacent to Shamokiu, the most flagrant, however, being the killing of Dooley Ragan, who some time ago black-legged at the Lnko Fiddler Mine of the Mineral Run mining and railroad company.
