The officer made inquiries sears the matter, but could learn nothing con- cern: it. Two women were seen to leave the yard @ short time before the officer went in. Kate McKeon, of No. 247 avenue B, testified that the deceased was her mother, and lived in New Pro- ence, L. L.; deceased came to the city to see the tness, but had not called upon her; the witness, hearing deceased was in the hospital, called and re- omnis her, but she was unable to speak. Ir.

Officer Gavin, of the Twonty-second precinct, de- posed that on the morning of the 2d instant he was on duty on Ninth avenue, from Fiftieth to Fifty- Dinth streets; near the corner of Fifty-seventh street he heard the Pe @ club, which he an- swered, and went to ity-third street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues; about ten doora from Ninth avenue, on the north side of the street, he found deceased lying in the entry bleeding from a wound on the forehead; made inquiries and found he worked up stairs with a tallor, who would not take him in, and ordered the witness to remove him to the station house, which was done; deceased was then sent to the hospital. Dr. Pusey, attached to the hospital, deposed that when deceased was admitted on the 24 inst. he had & compound depressed fracture of the frontal bone; he was intoxicated at the time; there were no symptoms of cerebral injuries; about twelve hours after admission the depressed bone was elevated; ‘until the evening of the 9th inst. there were no bad symptoms; he then had a chill; the next day he was semi-comatose; be died September 11, at three o’clock A.

THE COAL Speculations Regarding the Source of the Calamity—Who the Incendiary is Likely to Be—Unpopalarity of the Officers of the Minee—Daportaut Evideuce Expected on ‘Tuceday. Meo SCRANTON, Sept. 12, 1869, '? cacpnygn fo yesterday's HeRaLD giving the story about malicious fring of Avondale mine shaft was the great topic of conversation im the miners’ village of Hyde Park to-day, united with the testimony given «at the inquest tn Plymouth yesterday by Morgan and others, professional miners of tong standing, to the effect that the fre must have originated near the top, in place of at the bottom of the shaft. The current of speculation in the village has turned away tn @ great measure from the consideration of how far the furnace in the mine was responsible for the fire to the formation of opinions as to the man- ner and the motive of firing the brettice from above. ‘The witnesses, a8 you will notice by the evidence, who opposed the originally accented theory of the fire gave no intimation astowhom they thought Tesponsibie for the fearful tncendiarism suggested by their testimony, and the counsel for the mining companies made no attempt to secure an expression of opinion on that head. On tnquiry I was toformed ‘that the counsel forthe companies intended to re- serve this point until they could secure an over- whelming amount of evidence from experts op- posed to the idea of fire comtng from the furnace to the shaft, and then they expect to show by implica- tion that some man or set of men must have mall- ctously performed the work of destruction end death. ‘The miners have had qusrrellings among them- selves from time immemorial; but none of them with whom I conversed to-day give any considera- tion to the thought that one of their namber could Dave deliberately meditated the destruction of human tives tn firing the Avondale shaft. Some ignorant, thoughtless (miner, determined to revenge himself upon the company for some real or fancied wrong, might have played tne incendiary, without ever conceiving to what dreadful resulta tt would lead. The inside boss, Mr. Evan Hughes, it ts said, was anpopular with his Welsh fellow countrymen, and the same is said of bis brother, Mr. Benjamin Hughes, and the president and superintendent of all the mines belonging to the Delaware and Lackawanna Company. The miners represent all nationalities, the prepon- dance being Welsh; but even among these there are Jealousies and quarrellings from time to time. When Mr. Benjamin Hughes, Thomas Carson and Thomas Watkins come up to give their evidence at the in- queston Tuesday next a food of light will be thrown upon this now mysterious question, as these three @re among the most competent to give a decided opinion on tne origin of the fire. The report that tt was the [risk miners who desired to revenge themselves upon the Welsh must be a libel; for I can see nothing but harmony aud good ‘will existing among these nationalities, AID FOR THE AVONDALE SUFFERERS.

Original Design of the Battery in 1840— Changes Dimensions, Armor and Arma- moent—Amonnt Expended at the Commence- mt of the War—Progress ef Operations Under Charge of General McClellan. Daring the year 1840 the defenceless condition of New York harbor attracted the attention of tne citizens of this c:ty and the ‘country at large. The forte which now loom up at the Narrows were then but little calculated to resist the attack of an enemy's fleet, and haa @ war then occurred, this city, with ita vast wealth, would have doubtless been atthe mercy of great naval powers, such as Eng- land and France. Forts Richmond, Hamilton and Lafayette were then in their Infancy. At this time Mr. Edwin Stevens, & prominent snd wealthy citi- gen of Hoboken, conceived the idea of having but at his own expense an tron-clad floating battery, capable of resisting the attack of an ordinary fleet, ‘With this object in view he consulted some of the most experienced and widely known engineers in the country, and in the latter part of the year 1640 the work on the marine monster was commenced, ‘The keel was laid at the present yards in Hoboken and secresy was enjoined upon engineers and work- en not to divulge the object of their employment. The battery at first was intended to be only 160 feet in length, with an iron plating of one and a half inches in thickness all over; the armament was to have been composed of ten guns, five on a broad- fide, exch throwing a goltd not of 100 pounds, con- dered at that aay to be eno ki fhe work sed until the beginning of the but only ten men were ¢ db: the managers, and they simply to keep watch an ward over the unwieldy loo! mass of iron and wood. In 1862, however, the near approach to the harbor of the rebel ‘‘Alabamas,"’ and the miserable condition of our wooden navy, lent new life to the enterprise, and additional workmen were immedi- ately set to work on the vessel, which, up to that time, had involved an €x] to Mr. The work steadil Hos conaed under the old plans, but the ‘ai battle between the Monitor and Merrimac, in Hampton Roads, brought about a revolution in the construction of tron clads, and the plans were revised; the iron sheeting was torn of and plates of two and @ quarter tnches in thickness ‘Were substituted, 50 feet added to tts length, and the battery which she was at first intended to carry was decreased to five guns instead of ten—they to be of the fifteen-inch pattern. | Numerous officers con- nected with the navies of England and France have In vain applied for admittance, the original program- me being carried out to the letter. Bince the ciose of the war the work was again suspended, but General McClellan, white tn Europe, ‘was offered the position of chief engineer in its con- struction by the heirs of Mr. Stevena, at a salary of $10,000, which he accepted, and upon taking his position it was again decided to make several impor- tant alterations. One hundred and eighty men are at it employed at work, and when completed, which will be during the year 1871, the batt will be one of the most formidable engines of naval war- pg cad wane a aoa oe a the Qo ussia, England and other Ewropean hations, and have axaunned tho plans of this mauater, state that it oan cope with case with an entire fleet.

TaRATRE FRaNcais—Tus PuBITAN’s DAUGETER.— The Parepa-Rosa English opera season had aa auspi- cious commencement at this favorite establishment on Saturday night, so far as the attendance was cou- | cerned. A more fashionable and brilliant audience | has rarely greetea an artist {n opera. The boxes and dress circle were ablaze with beauty and Uijou- terte, and we recognized many well known lyric and | dramatic artists present, among them, conspicu- ously, Mile. Patti The initial opera was the “Puri- tan’s Daughter,” one of Balfe’s latess works, in which Roundheads end cavaliers are brought to- gether in an old feudal hall, to the imminent danger of the cavaliers, who consist only of the merry Monarch and his dissolute confrére, Roches- ter, and & rare specimen of uprightness and honor named Clifford. The traditional barmaid and land- lord; & foolish, love-stricken rustic; a@ rather “mixed"’ buccaneer and a fearfully stern old Round- head, bearing the appropriate title of Wolf, are the other characters im the opera. They all combine to Mlustrate @ very interesting story of conspiracy, love, loyalty, peril, confusion, prayers, drunkenness and other ingredients whicn generally go to make up the libretto of am opera. The opening piece, “Here's to Wine,” was splendidly rendered by a well balanced and highly effective chorus. It is the most sparkling number in the work. The succeeding dialogue between the bold buccaneer and his mate might be profitably out out; for the buccaneer does not speak plain and his mate desis too much in “asides.” Ralph, the rustic (Mr. E. Yeguin, a true, conscientious artist), and Jessie, the barmaid (Mrs. Smith, née Miss Stockton), next sing a rather unat- tractive duet, which is (in the score) followed by a delicious baritone song, ‘My own sweet euuld, sung with telling effect by the prince of bari- es, S. O. Campbell. In the next scene (the apel) the Puritans 8 couple of astir- ring and inspiring choruses, which relieve the mono- tony of the recitative, The next scene is pleasingly 9 mae By. 8 Gmaias, Lay & oe song, ‘Preity 2 was sun, ime.

Campbell sang 8 beautiful song in the second act, which received a well de- served encore. King Charles and Rochester (Messrs.

Rosa sang brillian! taking waltz of the Arditi school with her well known dash and effect. In this act the new bari- tone, Mr. Albert Lawrence, made his American début, He has @ fine, clear, well trained voice of considerable power, but lacking somewhat in sym- peas quality, at least in the same quality that a8 made Campbell the first of American baritones. Perhaps bis voice has not got over the sea voyage, but cn Saturday night it sounded a littie hard and lacking in resonance. Castle made a decided hit in @ drinking song, which in voice and action was simply inimitable. He was superb also in the melodic gem which commences the last act. The orchestra, under the able direction of PiveS afer everything that could be desired. On the whole, this Opera possesses a great deal of very fine music, some of Balfe’s best, a good deal of dreary recitative and much unnecessary dialogue. With Judictous pruning it 13 bound to be'a favorite. Taking into account the usual delays of a firet nicht, the opera went off very smoothly, and Mme. Parepa- Rosa has reason to congratulate herself on the ex- cellent company she has congregated around her for the season. The opera was very weil placed on the stage, all the accessories peng lault- leas. The three baritones, Lawrence, Campbell and Hall; the tenors, Cas! and ve Solla, and last, though by no means least, the peer leas prima donna herself, form a combination of musical talent to which our iyric stage has been long & stranger. In addition to the cuts men- tioned above we would also recommend the pruning of the first duet between Ralph and Jessie and the recitative in the chapel scene, the substitution of the oboe and bassoon for the clarionet obligato in the song ‘Pretty Flower,’ the erasure of the dialogue between King Charles and Rochester in the begin- ning of the second act and the entire of Seymour's musio in the last act. The opera is principally ded. cient in concerted pieces like those which give such a charm to Wallace, Benedict and the other works of Balfe, and what has been introduced by Carl Rosa and Mme. Parepa-tosa ie very effeonve. It will be given for the second time tonight, and wiil robably be reduced to proper limit—say two urs and & haif. Tou FRANKS FAMILY, consisting of three giris, aged respectively nine, twelve and fourteen years, and of two boys, aged seven and ten—who are among the musical prodigies of the world—will give a grand concert at Steinway Hall on next Fri- day evening. Each of the children plays on tne violin and piano, and that, too, with more than mere mechanical skill. They are natives and to the manner born, but have never before appeared before a New York audience, having been absent in Germany for number of years, where they performed with much success, A good programme is offered and a hearty welcome will doubtless be accorded the youngsters by our music loving citizens. HUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, The event of the week will be the reopening of Wallack’s theatre on next Wednesday evening, when the regular fall dramatic season at this house will be inauguratea with Sneridan’s famous comeay of “The School for Scandal.” The piece will be handsomely placed upon the stage, and will enjoy the advantages of an admirable cast. This will be followed at an early day by 8 comedy by Robertson, and later im the season we are to have a series of new and attractive plays fromthe pens of Watts Phillips, Tom Taylor and other popular authors, all of which are to be produced in Mr. Wallack’s cha- racteristic style. Miss Lucille Western this evening enters upon the thirteenth week of her present successful engage- ment at the Grand Opera House, where she con- tinues to attract large and appreciative audiences. Sardou’s heroic play of “Patrie’’ wili be revived at this house this evening, with all ita original superb scenic effects, with Miss Western in the réle of Donna Dolores and Mr. F. C. Bangs as the Duke of Alva. On next Wednesday aiternoon a “Leah” matinée will be given for the relief of the Avondale sufferers, Miss Western and the entire company at this theatre having generously volunteered their services for this laudable object. Mr, Joseph Jefferson this evening en- ters upon the seventh and last week of his highly successful engagement at Booth’s theatre. “Rip Van Winkle” ts still upon the bills and continues to attract audiences just as large as those which characterized its first repre- sentations. On Monday evening next Miss Bateman commences @ ten weeks’ engagement at tnis estab- lshment, appearing in her great role of “Leah,” an Impersonation, by the way, with whicn her name is identified on both sides of the Atlantic.

The moral of the drama is Sgn repugnant to the virtuously inclined, but this does not prevent ite Tepresentations from being nightly witnessed by crowded houses. The piece is nicely mounted and the various characters receive full justice from the members of the company now performing at this theatre. Atthe Fifth avenue theatre the romantic drama of “Dreams” is meeting with deserved success, The piece has been placed upon the stage in asu- perb manner, and is made doubly acceptable by the rare ‘ificence of its scenery and the unequalled excellence of its cast of characters. Upon the whole “Dreams” is & most enjoyabie performance, and, fur- thermore, there is not! in the entire play. which has a tendency to shock even the finest sensibility. The four set scenes in the picce are goms in their way and are among the -finest specimens of scenic art ever placed upon the boards im this country. “Uncle Tora’s Cabin,” with all its horrible black and white distortions, is proving a winning card for the management of the Olympic. The drama, which years was Supt to be @ truthfas pic- ture of everyday life in the Southern States as they existed before the war, still possesses, despite its exaggerations, an anaccountabie fascination for thousands of our citizens, as 1s nightly evinced in the large audiences that witness its representations. At Wood’s Museum the dramatic attractions for the present week will consist of the two new bur- lesques, ‘‘Massanieilo” and ‘“‘Wip Wan Winkle,” by the Zavistowski Sisters, in the afternoon, and the drama of the “Pearl of Savoy” by the Rand Sisters inthe ev > Each of the pieces wilt have the advantages of the full strength of, the regular com- pany to this establishment, ‘The Bowery theatre this week promises its patrons genuine #:nsation in the revival of the nautical tacular drama of “The Wizard of the Wave." lay 14 to be fp ‘With all the accessories of new nyech: effects and appropriate scevery, and the new company wil doubtiess do the piece “i lomeny ith its grand theatre and numerous ‘amy , With ite une ant side Fhows and its one price of admission to all, ts the great demooratic resort of the masses. ‘The bur- les'que of “The Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe, ard Gurr, “the man who tives under water,” are the bs ‘attractions for the preseat week at “the wit mn." theatre, Brook! for the geason on saturday epeaingy Yost under the most Gattering auspices Geqd playa inveroreted by @ 6 strong company. will be the fear (Tes at this house resen," Week we have durlog the season.
