Your reporter interviewed Mr. Green this after- oon at the jail, and within its damp and gioomy ‘walls listened to the story of an eventful life. { give it to you in his own words. It is, indeed, A STRANGE STORY. I was born in Monroe county, State of New York, in tne year 1815. My parents Were members of the Methodist Spisoopel €hurek, my father being a local reacher before my birth, and continuing sucn uatil is death, im the year 1864, At the age of ten years Jconnected myself with the same Church as a pro- bationer and in due time was admitted to fall mei bership. When I was in my twentieth year 1 was licensed as an exhorter, and the day I was twenty-one I received license as a local preacher. I was educatea for the ministry of i Church, and having graduated in one of the Eastern colleges in guy, 1s33, on the 6th of November {following 1 left my father’s house, having borrowed a horse from one Methodist preacher and saddle vn from another, to fila ‘vacancy, under the presiding elder, in the Seneca Lake district, Genesee Conference. Atthat time the uestion of lay representation was agitating the thodist Hpiscopal Church, and had already re- sulted In the withdrawal from its communion of a Jarge body of ministers and jaymen aud the or- ization of the Methodist Protestant Church. My fatier had early favored the movement; and, to- he close of my frst year as a travelling preacher, he connected himself with the new Church. 1 continued with the old body nearly three years’ longer, | oaheiy of regret om te P rt of ministers and jaymen and the utterance of kindly wishes for my Tuture welfare, 1 severed my connection with the mother Charch and umited with tae Methodist Pro- testants. As I look back over these long intervening years I have no hesitation in saying that this was my first great ministerial error. 1 will not now dis- cuss tt, I preached im various places for thai people, ‘mntil a period of about twenty years ago, when I be- came entangled in an improper alliance with a member of my congregation, lost my standing in the ministry and connection with the Church, and, with these, iffy wife, who obtained a divorce. Here ‘was my first great crime. With the less of that wife it seemed I had lost all for which it was worth living. I went to Europe, spent fvein two i on the Continent and in the British jands, and then retarned to America. Having considerable skiil tn drawing and coloring, I ob- tained employment as an ornamental patoter. goon became a proficient im the art, and could al- ‘Ways get empioyient, and at remuuerative wages, ‘when my ability became known. | again connected myself with the Church, beginning on the “ground floor,” and advancing in the usual way until 1 4 @ntered what may fitly be termed the “sanctum 4 anctorum.” About eleven years I married my present w ‘ie, by whom | bave had one child, a daughter, a OW in her eighth year.

The city papers contain sensational articles on the dimculty that exists among (ne miners and laborers employed by the companies in the Wyoming coal field. These articles are calculated to maguify aiii- culties, deceive the public and also to raise the price orcoal. The price of Coal, it is well known, bas been below the cost of uction for the last three Tonths, owing te the ability of the regions to over- stock the market, and there ought to be an advance at least of fii nts &@ ton to the producer to enabie bim to pay fair wages to the miners and laborers. Beyond this tmere 15 no necessity for coal to ad- Vance, and any figure beyond that sui ought to be ‘The market «is well suppiied with and there is ample ability to supply all that is re- juired from the different coal regions where no iMculty is likely to eccur. The greatest dimcuity that the trade has to encounter is tie pubtications made in the city papers by parties interested, who desire to affect the markets—anujit is a,notoriousfact that whenever the price of coal has advanced largely 1t has been caused entirely by such publications made tn our cities, The reason is that these papers know but littie about the business, and they cannot tell whether the publications sent them are correct, or anything abeut the motives that prompts those who send them. . ‘The situation and cause of the difficulty is as fol- lows: After the former turnout in 1869, these eom- panies resumed werk by paying higher wages than ever the Miner's Basis called ior, These wages these companies continued to pay up to the ilrst of December. They were Considerably higher than the wages paid in Schuylkill county during all of 1870, and the consequence was that the tndivid- Utg Operators and companies in the other regions Vg continued to work in 1570 were forced to pay tile same wages. It was generally understood the object of these companies in continuing high wages with lower prices of coal was to prevent ue W, B. A. trom keeping up their umion tu all the | counties, It was the paying of these high wages used the continued difficulty tu schuylkill during nearly haif the preseut year, whica enabled une to receive geod prices for coaiso long as the suspension contmued in Schuylkill county. On all occasions the W. B. A, sald to our operators, “Why cannot you pay the same wages that the compaiies pay, and that they alse pay in the other regions?’ In reply it was generally stated that it was lmpos- sible to pay such wages in the state of the coal mar- ket, and situated as Schuyikill county was, whe the market could so easily be overstocked if ali worked, and that so iong as they held out 1n Schuyl- kill county the W. B. A. here enabled them to keep up prices and pay good wages by keeping tue supply from Schuy!kiil county out of tie market, This was the situation, and this was the reason way the high wages were paid in the other regions, and they were thus enabled to imerease their supply neariy 3,090,060 tons of coal in 1870, while Schuyikill county teil short of last year’s supply nearly 1,000,000 tous. After the W. B.A, broke loose from the other regions in adopting the “Gowen compromise” and going to work this increased supply caused a decline in the price oe! coal, and wages la Schuylkill declined on the compromise as coal declined; put in Luzerne and Carbon counties the same rates of wages con- tinued to be paid upto December 1. It 13 known again | Were very good wld be educated up fo the truth, a3 1 deemed a A that the companies, since coal has declined beiow the cost of production, have been negotiaung wath eacn other to reduce the wages en the ist of becem- ber and have given notive tu do so. The wages re- ceived in the Luzerne and Carbon county regions throughout the whole of 1870 up to the present time, and everything was unusually pros erous, in the Shamokin, and particularly SclityiKill county, it has been quite the Teverse, Every part of the trade received remuner- ating prices exeept the producers, who have all suf fered in this region to a greater extent tau at auy Ume since the rebellion broke out. ‘The reduction ef forty-five cents a car seems large, but it depends in some measure on the prices that were paid before, which vary at different colleres. The pop ps may have made tt large so as to open the door for a compromise. Tnere is no strike, as far as We can learn, cept With tue three com: Danies named, aud they) may hold out all Wioter without materially affecung the coal market, as the other portions of the regions can supply all the coal required. We warn the public abroad agaimst auy panic with regard to tbe price of coai. ‘There is no necessity, as we sald before, under any Circumstances, that au advance of more than from to seventy-five cents per ton should take place, this is necessary to save Irom @ positive loss, id also to enabie the operator to pay itving wages to hisemployés, And nething will pat up tne price of coal beyond the sums named, uniess 16 is the 1m- Prudent and foolish articles published by the press in our cities, Wno seem to gloat over anything that they can create a sensation upon, regardless of the effect 11 may have upom the business and the con- sumers at lurze, We have ne doubt that all the dificuities will be Adjusted so as to commence next year’s business in good time to supply ali the coal the market will re- quire. The peopie in the coai regions are learning conaiderabie, aud no parties care about hoiaing out Jong when fair offers of adjustment are presented, if there is likeiy to be u short supply of coal and prices are likely to advance much we wiil give due notice of the same.

A RAID UPON THE LAGER INTEREST. At the last session of the United States Grand Jury at Trenton, N, J., indictments were found against a Jarge number of brewers and lager beer sellers turoughout the State, but principally in Newark. Recently some twenty odd warrants were issued by the United States authorities for the arrest of as many persons, charged with defrauding the gov- ernment in failing to destroy the stamp, which they ought to place directly over. the bunghole, but put it, as alleged, a “leelle” one side, so that the sane barrel could be used continually with the same stamp. The arrest of a large number of the leading beer men during past two days and the promised arrest of many more has occa- sioned a great stir among the makers and dealers in the beverage o1 ‘Leutonia. A meeting has been called of those arrested and others for to- day, at Erb’s place, on Broad ‘treet, when measures will be taken for mutual protec'tion from what they atyle the “nign-handed outrages” of the minions of the law. Those arrested thus fat are Christopher Wiedenmayer, Gustavus A, W iedenmayer and George W.

Kings County Invests in Shoddy Fabrics at High Prices. A Committee of Her Supervisors Come 4 to Grief. ¢ About a week ago Supervisor Harman, of the ‘Twentieth ward, threw a bombshell into the quiet and heretofore harmonieusly co-operating Board of . Supervisors of Kings county, by presenting a num: ber of specimens of articles which nad been pur- chased by the Jail Committee of that body at most unconscionable prices. He demanded an ex- planation in the way of a thorough in- vestigation. Such & measure was, of course, concurred in. There was no other alternative re- maining. Were not the reporters present? Of course they were. It must be ventilated thoroughly and without delay. The minority party were most ‘Urgent in furthering an immediate inquiry into the ouwage upon the public treasury. The amount tn- volved was not very large in the case in point, nevertheless the principle at stake was of the ut most importance, Hence the subject was referred tothe Law Committee of the Beard, They helda session at which several witnesses were examined, all of whom failed to throw any favorable hght upon the VERY DARK CASE, The negro retained his position upon the enclo- sure, There was a very extended fleld tert open for suspicious speculation. The firm that supplied most of the articles enumerated—Mesers. Kerrigan & Few—knew a thing or two, perhaps, but gave few points which would throw apy rays of an iliumina- tive tendency upon the matter. Yesterday morning the Board of Supervisors met for the purpose of confirming the tax rolls for 1871. This business having been gone throiigh Supervisor Dwight Johnson offered the foliowing resolution, re- questing the MEMBERS OF THE JAIL COMMITTEE TO RESIGN:— ‘Whereas the testimony already taken before the Law Com- mittee in reference to the purchase by orders of the Jail Come mittee of this Board demonstrates their utter incapacity to represent the interests of this county in supervisl pur f this Board; therefore? ebaring from any committer Kesolved, That Messrs. Shevien, Nelson and Smith be re- awested to resizn the position x8 members of the Jail Com- mittee and all other eommittees of this Board during the endency of the investigation now being made by the Law Committee into questions already submitted, or which may be submitted in relation to the work of any committees of which they have been members during the current year. Mr. JOHNSON said that every member of the Board feels disgraced by the developments already made, aad that the gentlemen named in the resolution ought to resign. Already the papers were recom- mending that the Board should be abolished. Supervisor SMITH, of the Thirteenth ward, arose and tendered his resignation, saying that he felt that there had been a dereliction of duty on his part, and that he was as culpable as any one else for not i strictly attending to nis duties on the Jail Com- mittee, Supervisor SHEVLEN, Fifth ward, resigned on the committee, saying that he had trusted a good deal to others, and that when they bought the articles they had believed the prices charged to be fair. ‘The resignation of these two gentlemen were ac- cepted unanimously. Mr. Nelson was absent. Supervisor HARMAN said he regretted that they did not resign twelve montns age and have saved the county eight or ten tiousand dollars thereby. Mr. HOWELL, Eleventh ward, remarked that Mr. Nelson was willing to resign on the Jail Commnittee, Mr. JouNSON then withdrew the resolution for the present, and the Board adjourned.

The actual value— if they are entitled to any valuauion at all— 1s set down by men who are in the blanket business at less than $150 per pair. Yet, strange though it may appear, the county, through its Board of Supervisors, paid seven dollars a pair for this ar- ucie, of which they purchased about $900 worth, Beside the specimens on exhibition hangs a pair of handsome heavy blankets, double the width and longer, which are selling at retail in Brooklyn for $3 50 per pair. CALICO save the mark! bearing the mark “Atlantic Print” is aiso to be scen. ‘This thing—1t is not an article of wear surely, being to thin to bear the tightening of a thread in a seam—was purchased by the Jail Com- mitiee at twenty cenis per yard. A far superior quality, price nine cents a yard, of calico 1s hung be- side it, in glaring contrast, which can be had for that figure at any dry goods store in Brooklya. sé BROWN SHEETING Cotton marked “Portsmouth A,” market price eight cents, paid for by the committee at the rate of thirty-three cents a yard.

SEA MESSENGERS.—A species of despatch box bas recently been invented in England, made of tin and water tight, so that when set afloat with documents inside these may be pre- served from damp and other action of water. The box is surmounted by a signal staff, which always retains a perpen- dicular position, so that the signal on {t may be seen at some distance, The object of the invention is, of course, to enable those on board a ship to commit to the chances of the waves intormation which at the time they have no other means of imparting, The yacht Cambria had a supply of these on ‘board, and on her great race with the Dauntless launched seve- ralof them, giving her position, &c., but we never heard that any of them had been picked up. On her homeward voyage she launched one containing a communication from Captain Tannock addressed to Mr Archibald Baxter, of this city, which, It will be seen by the extract we give below, drifted in to Penzance Bay, near Land’s End, England, on the fifth day after being launched.

FILE & 00... 14 Pine sty New York, at RANDRETH’S PILLS. Remember, all inflammation fs deranged nutrition. Tn the! process of infammation there is a rapid waste or wearing! away of living tissue, hence the great heat; the mnfammatiorg draws on the blood to repair this waste, and the greater thisf draft on the constitution the greater the loss of vital f Now, what isto be done. Purge, purge; for experience hi demonstrated that all inflammation . : 13 PRODUCKD BY POISONOUS MATTER IN THE) Boby, and that purgation by BRANDRETH’S PILLS takes it out] and stops the inflammation, ‘They mildly, yet thoroughly, cleanse the bowels and ther blood, and have a very peculiar action on the liver, spleong kadneys and skin, These pills, from small beginnings, without patronage off great names, but simply on their own meritg, have gone far ahead of all other remedies of professed similar !mport, and now they have the largest sale of any pilis in the United States, The Internal Revenue Department at Washingiom contains the positive proof. ‘The fact is that they are simply a combination of herbae and roots, which are harmless for ail ages and conditions of men, yet withal curative beyond relief. In some diseases they” are marvellous in their powers for coo, especially where the blood is poisoned from any cause; for BRANDRETH® PILLS cure by taking out what is hurtful: thus they cure coptiveness, colds (a single dose cures = shocking cold), in~ fluenza, diarrhea, colics, inflammatory affections, ulcerty white swellings, rheumatism and gout, When we have pain BRANDRETH’S PILLS reifeve it; and remember it is by taking aaah, ovr OF THE BODY the matter that proauce it, not stopping your power to feet by opiates or cnloroformic ictnes, which, administered by the mouth or injected into the veins, oftem produce evil consequences, whose effects, perhaps, never end? iit with the cessation of life, BRANDRETH’S PILLS GIVE EASE AND SLEEP. A gentleman had his leg broken, in two places; the pain and inflammation were very bad; he used various medicinesy but none seemed to do,him any good until he used BRAND- RETH'S PILLS; every time he took them he was easter and. could sleep. The benefit he derived was so very decided that he permits reference to be made to him, and his address ie at 294 Canal street, New York. BRANDRETH’S PILLS CURE ULCERS, We have severa! cases of remarkable cures of bad sorew and ulcers of long standing by the use of BRANDRETH'S PILLS alone. In some of these cases the patients believed they would never be able to walk again. But the cures are perfect and thetr limbs are now sound. These parties can be referred to, and their testimony cannot be disputed. BRANDRETH’S PILLS CURE DIARRH@A. ‘Mr, Wheeler, Engineer of Sing Sing,who served three years inthe war, when at Baton Rouge was taken down with Diar- rhea, Mr. Waller, who keops @ store there, and formerly of Sing Sing, gave him two doses of BRANDRETH’S PILLS, which cured him at once, Itis now becoming known that these wonderfal Pills area certain specie for this disease; tn fact they never have been known to fall, They may be used with the most perfect confidence, We have the strongest evidence in confirmation. : When you feel sick; when you have local pain, whether constant or occasional, let BRANDRETH'S PILLS be used; they prevent accidents and often save life. They should be always in the house ready. DR. BRANDRETIVS PRINCIPAL OFFICE, 294 Canal street, New York. And sold by all druggists. whether ONNOLLY'S AMERICAN LAVA WARE.
