There was considerable publisied last week regarding the alteged irregularity in the passage of the act creating the Appellate Court. An examination of the journals shows that this was allbosh; that it passed In accordance with all the Loris of law and legisiative practice, aud is now in full force. It appears, however, that there’ {6° a complication, thourh prob ubly not of a serious uature, regarding the oct) known as the Appellate Court Practice Act, which provides the way in which business shall be vouducted in the aforesald Court. This act was a Senate bill, und passed the Senate {n due torm, ou a yea aud nay vote. It was amended In che Hunge, but the Senate did not concur in the House amendments, ‘The House, which bad previously passed tho bill with its amondments, receded from them, but hot by a ye wud pay vote. ‘The question involved then is whether a vivo voce vote Was suillcient. 10 it was, unquestion- ably, the bill having passed with amendments, if the receding ot the House waa complete, the bill was pusaed by the same vote without amend- ments, But the recent practice has been to re- quire a yea and nay yote on recuding, and if the motion to recede prevalled, then that vote was held to have repassed the bill. [fn vote to re- cede puts o DIP again on its passage ay anien ed, tena yea und nay vote fs un sbasulute re qufrement. If not, a vive yvuce vote 1a of course sulllcient, Ou this volut parliamentarians differ. The practice and ruling of the ‘Twenty. elghth General Asscinbly—Uloy, —_Cul- lon was = Speaker, aud © Jolin Early President of the Senate—was that a yea aud nay vole Was uecessary on a vote to recede. Tho Secretary of State bolds that the passage of thy DIL is cumplote and regular, as do many others. They hold that ita passage in the Senate with- out amendment, and in the House with amemt- ments, was Haul in both, ‘The Secretary has ollictally stated that the bill passed butt Houses by a ‘call of the yeas aud on its Unal passuge, und “insists that vven o technical Informality cannot fmpalr tho validity ofthe bil There seems, therctore, no reasun to bellove that there Is any hinperfection in the Cyurt Practice act, fore, nat interferu with the nut of the Appellate Court when it be; operations this ai.” oe ee SUBURBAN, : Lake, The Asscssor has cumpleted tho assessment- roll for the town. ‘The valuations foot up o fraction over $5,095,000.

The Susquehanna Coal Company, whose vast works aro situated at Nanticoke, in the Wyoming region, Is the only one of tho large corporations that has, so far, clased its collferics, An im- pression prevails that, just rr suon as Franktio B Gowen, Prealdent of the Philadelphia & Reading Coat & Iron Company, atrives from Europe,—he is now on his way across the ocean,—a general suspension will bo ordered hy all the prominent companies, The 20th of the current month Is announced os the date of the shut-down at the mines. It fs estimated that, even in the event of astoppage, the production, thts season, will reach 23,000,000 tons; which will be an increase: over the product of Inst year of 5,000,000 tons. ‘The companies In the Lykens region haya STOPPED PRODUCTION FOR THI SEASON, ‘The tonnage of Lykens, this year, has exceeded that of any previous year In the hlstory of the conl-trade, About 10,000 miners and laborers are deprived of employment by the suspensbon.

The number of colliers, laborers, nni tnechanics out of employinent. |s near 15,000; and It !n posslble the number will be ed within a short time. So far as this partictilar district of the coal-flelds is concorned, whilo but few of tho inincs arc stopped, hanily one Is min- ning full. The product(on {s amall, and 5,000 workInginen are idic, with but little prospect of early employmont. ‘. What adds still more gloom to the sieeady: ex- ceedingly dreary situation in all divisions of the coal-country, Is the aunouncoment of the inten- tion of the companies to abandon and CLOSE ALL. THE SURPLUS COLLIZRIES. Ifsuch a scheme Is carried into effect, tally 5,000 more miners will be added to the army of unemployed men, ‘The various combina- tions invouted by the operators to regulate the roduction and marketing of anthracite fucl, [a resulted in the formation of an opposition movement on tho part of thd miners, This movemont, which was ailnded to {n a late letter to Tie TRisune, has now reached to all parts of the Middle Cual-Flelds, The prime-mover in the organization of tho Workinemen’s Benevolent. jociation—the Miners’ and Laborers’ Labor-Union—is_ Charice Parclase, of Mahanoy City.

Tho Iavention of m Monomanino=It Ex- plodes, Blowing Itself and Ita Inventor to Atoms, Correrpondance Cineinaatt Enquirer, Star Isnanp House, St. Cram Frats, duly 11.—Early in March, before the lakes and rivers were clear of fco,—in fact, before the ico In Lake 8t. Clair had broken at all,—a man nearly 60 Years old, about whose name, home, or relatives nothing can be learned, made his appearance at Port Huron, St. Clair, Algonac, and at other towns onthe Bt, Clair River. He was rather poorly dressed, had n stiff knee, and, at first aight, would haye been taken forn tramp. Yet the old man not only had money, but plenty of ft. Ho had little. to say to any one, and when stopping at o hotel he refused to reelater or else made ascrawl in place of aname. The stranger had nothing to dv except with blacksmiths and machinists, and through them it became known ‘that he wae seeking to invent a torpedo for the destruction of war-vesscis. He waa not at all communicative, seemlng to fear that some onc would atca! his fdeas; but his plans were grad- ually developed, ashe was forced to call for outaide assistance. Regarding him as a mono- maniac, if not a lunatic, the oft! man received but little attention. Some castings wera made from ils patterns, and he went to Detroit and had others made, ant about the middle of May he bullt himself a rude slianty on Walpole Istand, bought a skiff, two or three kegs of powder, and so rigidty secluded bimself from the public oy that ho was, in thine, forgotten. As ucar us can be ascertained, the old man was secking to invents floating torpedo. ‘The sizo of the ous he did make will uever bo known, nor yet how inuch powder formed’ the charge, though it is supposed to have been at lcast tifty pounds, with a likelihood that it was 100. Tho torpedo was ashell of cast-iron no thicker than that used in making stove-wurc. It was pear- shaped, and divided in the centro. One division was to be filled with compressed alr, gas, or other buoyant substance, and tho other was _to hold the powder. The torpedo was provided with fans or wings made of galvanizod fron, and set on at such an anglo us to make thom holp buoy up the mass, At what may be called the down-river end of tho torpedo was a stecl rod, with o wooden bar six fect long crossing {t Ike the letter T. The opposite or upriver end had o large, stout ring Dolted to it, and In this ring was to be ticd a rope, The idea was to float the torpedo under tho surface. Tho depth would bo regulated by the weight of the powder and the buoyancy uf tho floating material. ‘To operate it one would havo to put out Ina boat above the yeascl to be attacked, and let the torpedo float down In line. When the wooden bar or croas-pieco struck the veesel tho steel would be forced in, and.some ntrivance inside would strike off tho charge, the same asin an {infcrnal machine. Lom vot able to furnish closer particulars, becauso the old man snd his torpedo are intnce-meat. It ts Ymowa that he built a torpedo of tho shape do- scribed, because several persons sary it, and be- cause he submitied drafts and plans to others. Some of the Indians on the island saw the tna- rine monster seycral times, antl wero taken into the old man’s conlldence much closer than the whiter. On the 20th of June the crasy Inventor went to Detroit on some errand or other, and was absent until July 8. Ile probably sovured the lagt things needed to complete his torpedo, for lhe was heard working all that night. On tho Oth he endeavored to hire the Captain of » schooner to tow the invention across Lake St. Ctalr for him, but as he would not tell what it was, and as he acted very strangely, no bargain was made. The torpeo, was then anchored off the foot of tho island, pare of it showing abovo water, and soversl_iishcrinen Inspected it and called it abuoy. On the cvyening of the 0th the old man and his torpedo disappeared without saying good-by to any one. He took away all his toola and working utenalla, and somo portions of the shanty, and trom this it Ly supposed he meant to find o more secluded spot. Atl o'clock that night tno crews of soveral yeasels standing in for the caval or leavy- ing it, caught a sharp fash and the rutnble of an explosion. The sky was clear, and yet they were inclined to think there had been a flash of lightolng snd aclap of thunder, Neither flash nor shock were repeated, and some of the ae tonished sallora may never solve the puzzle, Tuesday morning tha old man's skiff, badly sinashed, was found off tho caual, as also somo of the boards he took away. ‘Tha boards were split and shattered as {f pounding on the rocks. ‘The old man started for some point below with his torpedo, probably towing it alter tho skitf, It might not have been prepared for explosion, but that it did oxplode there can bo no room for doubt. Whether towing behind the boat or driving ahead of [t, there was force enough to blow the {uventor aky-hich, and the wonder in that a vestige of his boat was discovered. Whers the inventor camo from isa mystery. He nover recelved any lettera; never mentioned tho name of any distunt city; nover read a news- paper; and had no care except to thwart curi- osity and fluleh his machine, If not crazy then he was “queer,”? and yet he had all the wit of an inventor and all tho crAft of an expert ma- chinist. While the fash of the explos(on was flerce enough, the shock itself had the dull, pro- Tonyed growl of a columblat fircd from on carthwork. Tho force of the oxplusion must have been downward or to. right or left, os numerous dead flsh were found floating around tho wrecked skiff. A ts of new inch-ropo ‘Was tangled around tha boat, and the cuda were frayed and hacked as if cut by a saw. DC. $a Yrinve Milan ond the Czar, ‘Tho Belgrade correspondent of the London Telearaph forwards an Interesting and somewhat conilcal account of Princo Milan's reception by tho Czar. He says that the Prince was received. at the atation by the Graud Duke Nicholas, who took hitu to the Czar for the formal vialt, which Als Majesty returned at Prince Mitan’s quarters anhourlater.
