THE COAL MINE Reception of the Verdict—Di@erences of Opin. fon Still Prevailing—Tie Mivers? Union and the Reporters—Meciing of the Relief Com- mittee—Moacy Aypropriated for the Sufs ferers. s SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 15, 1869. The verdict plored by the Coroner's jury at Plymouth excited litvie commen, acr? -48Y+ The recommendation that in all placea where practica- ble two places for egress and ingress be made, and & more perfect ventilation secured, was anticipated. On the other point, of the fire originating from the Jurnace, & difference of opinion still prevails, not quite reconciled by the conclusion of the Jury; but ag they had all the evidence on both sides before them, and two of their number were practical, in- telligent miners, while the other four brought the logic of common sense to bear upon the question, it is safe to trust these united opinions in the absence of positive knowledge. As co the origin of the fre, the story of incen- diarism may now be considered exploded, yet it emanated fromthe miners of Hyde Park, and was sustained py several of them on the inquest, The Miners’ Union gf Wilkesbarre said, in their pub- itshed card that no ond believed tt, though the testimony showed that soveral did. Their attempt to impugn the veracity of the reports was prompted by an aniorus against a local paper in this city, which has never hesitated to tel! plain truths to the miners, ; The general effect of the verdict may be ¢allea tranquilizing. The Board of Managers of the Avormiale Rellot Fund met to-day, at ten o'clock, at the First National Bank of Plymouth, every member being present. They appropriated twenty-five dollars to eacl’ widow and ten dollars to each orphan, for present relief. ‘They appointed H. B. Wright, of Wilkesbarre; George Coray, of Scranton, and Draper Smith, of Plymouth, @ committee to report an equitable mode of distribut ing the fund. A suggestion was made that the best plan would be to distribute a portion and invest the remainder. Tne families of the deceased miners have already been supplied with provisions and other ne- eessaries by the committee, and from whe character of the gentlemen who have this work of benevolence in hand, there need be no apprehension that the money subscribed wil be otherwise than well and judictously applied. The Board will meet again on Tuesday, September 21, THE AVONDALE FUND. Subscriptions Received by the Treasurer of the Relief Fund in Plymouth. PLYMOUTH, Pa., Sept. 15, 1869.

AMUS VALLAOK'S THHATRE.—This estabiishment—tho acknowledged home of the legitimate drama and standard comedy—thoroughly renovated and beauti- fully redecorated, reopened last evening ina glorious Diaze of pristine spiondor for the regular fall and winter dramatic season, with Sheridan's great com. edy of “The pchooi for Scandal” as the attraction, with the entire cast composed of old favorites, with mee wiaaxcantion—that of Mr. Charles Wad. ham, @ young gentleman from the London theatres, in the rile of Charles Surface, The Opening night or tho inaugural performance pof a new play at this theatre is always regarded by the Wallackian habifves as important events, aud iaat night certaimly was fully up to the mark. It was, in fact, a perfect gala night. A large and fashionable audience assisted at the “opening,” every box and every seat in the house, from parquet to gallery, being occupied. Everyboay, apparently, waa in the best of humor, and audience and actors bdr in Mel cf ee -ppeare ue Sopa other, Wy he ering the performance of tne rat a the tio daignitan and enroy able, As each of the old favorites, male and female, appéaréd Neen the scene they were greeted with enthusi- fille applause from their admirers, and in the casea of Madeline Henriques-Jennings, Mr. John Gilbert and Mr. aries Fisher, the welcome quifé partook of tie nature of an ovation. It 1s fully five years since ‘The Sohool for Scandal” was last performed at this theatre, and its revival at the present day, with many members of the company in new #‘Ales, was looked forwara to with much critical interest. Madeline Hen- riques-Jennings, after an absence of two years, re- appeared before her old friends, the New York pub- lic, in the character of Lady Teazle. Sir Peter Teazie was personated by Mr. John Gilbert, Sir Oliver Surface by Mr. Charies Fister, Joseph surface by Mr. J. W. Wallack, Charles Surface by Mr. C, Wyndham, Orabtree by Mr. J. H. Steddart, Sir Ben- jamin Backbite by Mr. Owen Marlowe, Careless Mr. ©. H. Rockwell, Rowley by Air, Hield, Moses by Mr. J.C, Williamson, Trip by Mr. M. Holland, Snake by Mr. J, W. Leonard, Sir Harry Bumper by Mr. A. Matthi#on, Joseph’s Servant by Mr, J. Peck, Rady Sneerwell’s Servant by Mr- Curran, Lady Teazie by Miss Madeline Henriques, Mrs, Can- dor by Miss B.

Mr. Wynd- ham, through nervousness or a wrong conception of the eharacter of the profligate Charles Surface, over- acted his part exceedingly at the outset; but as he became more accasfomed to the audicnce and the faces around him h¢ toned down considerably, and before the close of the plece fairly succeeded in ingratiating himself into the good graces of the audience.

A large number of people were present, and at the popuiar price of a general admission of fifty cents the sum of $603 30 was reailzed. The piece performed was the well known and popular play of “East Lynne,’’ the character of the heroine, Lady Isabel and Madame Vine, being interpreted by Miss Lucille Western, who did full justice tothe role, There are few characters in the extensive repertoire of Miss Western which se plays as she does this part, and tho thought of the worthy charity in which she was engaged no doubt added additional zest and feoling to her representa- tion. The other actors in the cast are to be com- mended for their playing on this occasion, and the audience were doubly delighted, ieee with a well acted play, and gratitied that they contributed to alleviate and soften in some measure the misfor- tunes that have so suddenly visited the homes and earths of many poor families. HeEMANN AT THE ACADEMY OF Music.—After several years’ absence from the United States Mr, Hermann has returned, and gave his first perform- ance at the Academy of Music last night. The fa- mous prestidigitateur, or prince of conjurers, opened fora worthy object. The first performance was lor the benefit of the Avondale widows and orphans, The moment Hermann heard of the heartrending eatastrophe at Avondale he offered to give ths benefit. The Academy was crowded with a iy respectable audience, and Hermann was received with welcome plaudits, He was always a great favorite of the New York public. The new pro- gramme of illusions, magic and sleight of hand sur- prised aad delighted the audience. It is impossible to describe the extraordinary manipulations and power of Hermann. He can almost steal the eyes out of one’s head. He must be seen to be appre- ciated. No doubt a handsome sum was reaiized last night for the Avondate Relief Fund, and there is no doubt Hermann will meet lis reward in crowded houses hereafter. Musical and Theatrical Notes.

Incidents of Theiy Stay in the City-Thetr Departure for Bostovr The Harvard crew, accompanied by the committee of the Boston City Council, left New York yesterday’ afternoon on tie five o’clock Fall River steamer for Boston. Mr. Blaikie leftin the morning train orig- inally designated by the erew for their departure. During the day Messrs, Loring and Fay visited the Park and other points of interest in the city, and re- ceived at the Astor House a large number of vist tors, An impression seems to have gained some circulation that at ‘be banquet Tues day evening Mr. Blaikie intémated that thera was a little unfairness practised by the Oxfords in giving the Harvards the wash of (Retr boat, Mr. Blaikie did not intend toconvey any suet idea. The Harvards state that they do not regard the conversation with Mr. Tinnie previous to the race in regard to the impropriety of a leading boat giving its wash to its competitor, a6 having been binding on the Oxfords. They say that they inferred from the expression of assent from Mr. Tinnte to the criticism on giving the wash thatthe Oxfords would not do it, and they therefore refrained from doing 80 when leading the English boat. There was no agreement on* the sub+ ject whatever aside from the informal expression of sentiment between Mr. Tinnte and the Harvards: and so far from tmputing any intention of nofaira! to the Oxfords, the Ugrvards are particulerto com- pliment the Oxforas on their courtesy and honcat dealing. It 1s also proper to state in thisconnection that the New York City Conncils were in entire ignorance of any design on the part of ihe Boston City Councils to visit New York uulti their arrival here, and to this fact i3 atiributed tie failure to entertain the Bostom committee in a more formal mauner, MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESIDEIT.
