THE PENNSYLVANIA MINERS, Grand Council of the Miners’ Union at Tamaqua, A Bailroad Journcy to Tamaqua—A Secret Bes- sion of the Council—Resolntion to Quit Some Coercion Threatened, TAMAQUA, Pa., Deo, 24, 1870. ‘The Grand Counc! of the Miners’ Cniou went into secret session at ibis place on Wednesday last. Your correspondent left Philadelphia at a quarter to ton A, M, via North Pennsylvania Ratiroad to Beth. lehem and Lehigh Valley road to Mauca Chunk. Are Tived at the latter place at one o'clock, and was In- formed that the inceting was secret and 1t would be impossibie to get apy imiormation, ‘The “swttch- back" railroad ranning from Mauch Chunk to Sum- mit Hill and ‘Tamaqua runs two trains a day, At twenty minutes past one I was seated in an “open worked” car, the endiess cable was attached there- to and away we went up the “big hill,” almost per- pendicularly inclined for over three-quarters of a mite, with the wind whistling over the hill as If in would cut us in twatn, while hundreds of feet below the school children were enjoying the first skate of the season on the Lehigh river. Arrived atthe sum- mit a donkey engine was attached to the train and we proceeded over the trestle work and through the mountain gorges to Tamaqua, fourteen miles distant, and I would here add for the venefit of pare tues desiring fresh air and invigorating breezes that they cun gei them right here, It was the freshest breeze I have ever experienced, Our train arrived at Tamaqua at two o'clock. We were surrounded by a number of men desirous of information regarding the movements of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Mining and Navigation Company’s iiners, Your correspondent boing the only one present who could give correct information, having got all the “pomts” of a imeeting heid by these men at Mauch Chunk before we left, determmed to trade the formation for a report of the doings of the Kecret Convention at Tamaqua, aud accordingly pro- ceeded to LEISINGER’S HALI, ‘Where the delegates, representing 18,000 miners, were assembled, debating the great question of the hour, “to work or not to work, that is the question.” Admittance was, of course, denied outsiders, Watt- Ang a favorable opportunity to interview a commu- nicative delegate I took my stand in the neighbor- hood of @ palatial () gin mill where delegates were constantly arriving and hoiding private conferences over the bar, But a short time elapsed when a tall, gaunt sp.cimen o1 humanity issued forth, about haif-seas over, und approached me with the ’follow- ing query — Teak is “L say, matey, have you come from Obuak #7 : tae CokRHSPONDENT—Yes;I came up over the switch- back about ten minutes since, MINER—What in h—Il are them fellers down on the Leigh and on Summit Hull goin’ ter doy CORRESPONDENT —Well, they Would like to know something of your move If your conclusions reach ‘the same tone as theirs they will chime in. MINE—What are their conclusions, as you call 16? CoRRESPONDENT—'Taal’s a secret. Still you could find out, if you ure dispesed to trade news? MineR—That be d——d. We aint tellin’ anything. Mullery (President of the Miners’ Union) told us to keep mum, as Tamaqua is ciuck full of these ere newspaper fellers; “bul,” he added, “i would like dev! 1 well to know what they’re goin’ to do. t say, Chuck,” h> callea to a brother miner, “look & ere; here's a chap what’s jis come up ever the switch-back, an’ he knows all about the Lehigh Tellers, but won't tell unless we tell bim suthin’ about our doin’s.”” CrvoK--Tel! him; let's trade, and d—~n the odds, Miner—Weil, stranger. 16 stands jis here. Mul- lery, he got us together. You know the Scranton tellers “laid off” last week. Well, Mullery Buys, says he, “Boys, we're got ter quit work; there’s too much coal in the market; unless we quit end put up the coalat Elizabethport we will never get w raise In the world. But they'll cut us down all Shrough the winter, and the sooner we make a stand the better.” Some of the boys sali, “We have iud oi SIX months already, and our families are nearly ved, aud winver 1s a rough tune, Mr. Prestdcni, to quit, and everything so iigh.” ‘ben Mullery he eau, ‘Boys, if we lay of now the supply will run out and they will give us better prices than ever, ‘and we can be pretty stil! backed about going to work again,” and Jonu Parker, he that rans our paper, the Anthracte Mondtur, every once in & ‘hile putin his oar and kept a saying. “Yes, yes; thavs so Mr. Presidout,” as it he about it than we, that Parker nearly FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS & year to run our paper, an’ 1m Diest it it ain’t the aoe rub newspaper | ever sco. Let's iake & drink, ‘She drink was punished, or rather the drinkers were punished, for army Whiskey was the vest old Urange county applejack in comparison with the vile stuff dispensed over the bur of the “Screaming Bagle” at five ts a drin ‘The miner couunved As I was tellin’ ye, Mullery and Parker go in for quittin’ work. Well, if we do, huew any ulore Look 8’ here, stranger, we pay there's goin’ to be some rough iimes around here | this winter; an’, | tell ye, peopie had better look out for some tail work around here; the boys will keep full of whiskey, sure as shoot’, au’ there’ ve no end of fightin’ an’ stealin’. Now, matey, lct’s Know what you tiave got to tell about the Leigh fellers y CoRRESPONDENT—Stmply this: the Lehigh Susquehanna Mimug and Kailroad Company's men— 8,000 in number—have decided, with the advice of Mr, A. Leisering, Presigent of ihe Kirst Natiouat Bank of Mauch Churck, and through « due regard to their best interests, without taking into question the action of the majority, to remain at work, MINER—If we decide to quit there will be coal miners out of work. There are 30,900 miners Pennsyivania; 8,000 m‘ners will stand a good sbow bucking agatust 27,000, If we quit the uit. We'll force them to do 80. elaware and Hudson Canal Company's, Schuylkill! and all other miming cenipanies’ men, with the exception of Lehigh and Susquehanna, ure training together whichever way we «decide. We wul have them with us, Goud day, stranger. Come along, Chuck. The twain departed and 1 was left to ruminate on the strange faiality that possesses these men to quit work tn the beginning of w promises to be a hard, severe winter, rather than work tur a reduced rate, which has peen brought about by natural causes. fhe supply has exceeded the demand, aud it is bula natural law of commerce that has operated to re- duce the wages, THB LEMIGH AND SUSQUEHANNA COMPANY pay their miners forty-five ceats per ton. Wages are Uxed according to location, added or diuiaished trouble in mining and supply in the market. Some companies pay more thau others, according to loca- 1 Ce The Council have ordered a general suspension of work 10 ull the mines. There is some doubt, how- ever, whether tue order will be obeyed in all the dis- tricts. ‘the Council is composed of a small number Of the more Intelligent miners, the mem@ers whereof are elected for long terms, and its action does not in all cases reflect the views of all or even a majority of the miners. ‘The truth is, the men do not wish to ‘quit work. but generally obey the orders of the Coun- cu, whether such orders mect their views or not. It 1s generally beiteved by leading coal operators that. the order in this instance will be obeyed, and that work will generally cease for sixty days, beginning January 10, 1871. The Feeling Among the Miners. ‘The Matich Chunk Coa! Gazette of the 23d instant Bays, regarding the feeliug among the miners us to suspending labor:— ‘The mmers all over the region secm adverse to a strike at present, but atthe same time they are de- cldedly opposed toany redaciionof wages. Ala meeting the other day ut Hazteton, every district re- ported against accepting anything leas than they ure how getting, and irom the feeling exhibited it is very provable that any lowermg ot wages would ere @ general suspension (throughout the region. two weeks ago it seemed probabie that the epera- tors would be forced to offer tieir men a reduction, but the advance In prices in New York, and the ex- cellent state of the market, would seem to remove the necessity for it. But at this cause for suspicion nas been got rid of another more formidable one bas arisca. ‘he Wyomug men, who have never belonged to the Miners’ Union, ure Bow willing to join, it is believed, provided the Grand Counci will order a generai strike. The Council meet to-day to act upon this matter. At'the commencement of the late suspension In the Wyo- ming region the men of this county and Scbuyikill were not very highiy impressed with the idea that they should do much for their striking brethren. They remembered how the latter continued working last year and refused to jo whe association which they now want to become members of. The Wyo- ming men utterly refused to help our miners out of then scrape. It will soon be known whether they wiil geta helping hand from the menu tiey tarned their bucks om & year ago.

Asensation of the first water swept East St. Lonis yesterday morning, of so unique and exciting a char- acter that it will not be forgotten for many a loog aay. At about half-past three o’clock yesterday morning Mr, Edward 8. Bradley, 2 citizen of East St. Louis, was awakened by his wife with the itel- ligence that burglars were attempting to effect an entrance to the house, which, it may be stated, ts a two story fraine, situated on Third street. The upper portion of the dwelling is occupied by the family for siceping apartments, while one of the lower rooms serves as aroom for an old lady named Flynn, a member of the houschold, On learning that some cange for alarm really ex- isied, Mr. Bradley arose, 1nd grasping a huge cay- airy sword, stationed himself at the window, ex- pecting every moment te see the tngress or at tempted ingress of seme daring thief, and deter- mined to detend his fireside at all hazards, While thus waiting a sudden crash was heard from below, as if the whole side of the house had been jammed in, and at the same time the old lady was heard to scream plerciagly as if wild with fear. According tothe story, the window and the bureau near it were suddenly dashed into the middle of the room. Her Lusband is @ bight watchman, and being soon expected heme, she thought he must have been out. druuk aud was attempting to get tn through the window, She sprang from her bed and seized what she supposed to be the retreating leg of a@ man. It had a queer feel, however, aud was drawn outward with violence, and the old lady, having aa- vanced close to the shattered window, saw to her her: the tewering bilk of an enormous elephant. Unaile to overcome the shock she fell almost ing sible to the floor. At this stage of aifairs Mr, Bri ley, with his drawn sabre, started co the rescue. ‘Tue stairs leading below are on the entaide of the house, and as he descended he encountered the ele- phant, who appeared determined to ascend the steps, A few blows of the steel blade on the trank cowed the huge brute, and he commenced a retreat. lie backed out of the yard and took a morihwardly course util he arrived at the saloon ownel by Mr. Charles Schaifner, at which bane he stepped, took & general observation of the surroundings, then making a desperate charge he shivered a large door to atoms. ‘fhis last affair was the close of his damage. fe wandered off through the silent streets and at daylight was found near the Southeastern depot dead, having, itis suid, died from the effects of the cold, The explanation of the busi- ness Was soon ascertained. The elephant belonged to a Menagerie, which was going east on the Van- dalia Ratiroad. The clephant was left at dark by the keeper ina railroad car, being, as he supposed, securely iocked in. During the night, however, he broke the chain which fastened his leg, tore down the door and started on his voyage of death. He Was an immense brute and his carcass was viewed With intense curiosity by the citizens during the day, It 1s said that the original cost of the animal Was Learly $5,000. THE POUGHKE. PSIE HEIRSBIP (ASE, Waiter D. Wheeler's Letters Revoked=Jem- mima McKibbin Declared an Heir. {From the Poughkeepsie Kagle, Dec. 24.) The Locay Ostrom case came before Surrogate Fowler again yesterday. Since the iast hearing, and after having hints given them by Surrogate Fowler that they must prove why they should be paid for appearing, the lawyers claiming to represent innu- merable heirs have rather taken a back seat, and more. directly it was rumored that Jemuma McKibbin’s claim stands A No, 1. At ten o'clock yesterday morning, instead of sevepteeu lawyers coming to the front, orl four appeared—Mr. Peter Dorland, Jemima Mecklbbin’s counsel; 0. D. M. Baker, of the firm of Nelson & Baker, lor the Lewis heirs, K. Crammey for the Hildebrant heirs, and James Wile Nams for Eloise Wiswell, Feier Dorland made a motion asking that an or- der be entered revoking letters of administration Issued to Walter D. Wheeler, and, upon tiling the bond required by Jemima McKibbin, new letters be ranted to-her, Jadge Wheaton, m vebalf of Walter », Wheeler, the present admimisiraior, stated he Was willing that the order should be granted, and intimated that there are to be many claims of a doubtfl nature made against the estate, Surrogate Fowler then deciared Jemima McKibbin as adminis- trawix. James Weeks, who appeared in the same line as the Lewis heirs, suggested that a definite order be entered, which was assented to. Now that the heirship in this remarkable case has beem established, the ciuims against the estate will come up next, aid a view of Ube above statements will be fought with more vigor than if an heirship had jot been estavlisned. Judge Wheaton, in court yesterday morning, stated that the inventory of the estate foots up $17,000, while the cialms foot up $19,000, all of which Will he now contested by the present aduunistratrix, and no doubt a great many of them will be thrown ouk entirely. ‘Che largest one, that of John P.

FUNNY OBLESrrAL INCIDED A Lad of Seventeen Butchers an Octogenarian. Sketch of His Crime, Capture, Trial and Sentence. Wrpeor, Vt., Dec, 23, 1870, In the State Prison in this place 1s now confined, ander sentence of death, @ young man only nine ten, His crime, the murder of defenceless old man tn his own doorway, is justly considered one of the worst cases of homicide ever known im Ver- mont. His cool inditference and apparent careloss- ness of the consequences of his diabolical perform- ance show an amount of depravity seldom found in one 60 young. ‘This boy’s name is Heury Welcome, of French parentage, and his victim was Mr. Perry Russell, of Hinesburg, Vt. Mr. Kus<ell was 9 well known and respected farmer, @ rember of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of some considerable property and aged about seventy-six years. THE MURDER was committed on the evening of the 3d of October, 1968, about half-past eight. Mr. Russell and 18 wife, the sole occupants of the house, had retired to reat about eight o'clock, but half ap hour afterwards were startled by a knocking at the door, Mrs, Rus- sell told her husband not to open the door notii he aseertamed who was there, Mr. Russell accordugy made inquiry, and was answered, ‘‘Joe Bushy, I want to come in.” Deceived by mention of @ name with which he was familiar, he opened the door and was instantly felled by a blow trom a heavy barndoor hinge, twenty inches in length, in the hands of Henry Welcome. His groans and exclamation, “0 Lord\” aroused his wife from bed, who, coming to the spot, saw the young as- sassin standing over the unfortunete old man and raining a shower of blows upon atm with the mur- derous hinge. Almost paralyzed with terror fer her own safety, the old lady fled tothe nearest neigh- bors, one hundred rods distant, and alarmed them, who proceeded in turn to the next house, and from there they all returned to the scene of the tragedy. The murderer had gone, but his victim was lying on the door, where he had first fallen, in a pool of blood and breathing heavily. He lmgered in an uncon- sclous state until the next morning at ten o'clock, when he died, The surgeons in attendance found nine scalp wounds from one to three inches in Jength and a deep cut in the crown of hia head, The murderer, after finishing his horrid work, rausacked the house for the plunder he expected to Obtain, but couid ind nothing except a small black trunk containing notes, deeds aad other valuable papers. This was afterwards found on an adjoining farm in a feld half a mile dis- tant, the contents taken out aud strewed around, Welcome was induced to murder the old man in hope ef finding a large sum of money, but in this he ‘was folled, as Mr. Russell had, a few days previous, deposited his funds, seme $6,000 in United States bonds, in a bank at Burlington, a few miles from Hinesburg, He koew that Mr. Russell possessed in money, because he had at one time worked for im. ‘THE PURSUIT OF THE ASSASSIN was active and successful. The services of N. B. Flanagan, an expert detective of Burlington, were immediately secured, and a reward of $1,000 was offered to bring the villain to justice. On the 5th of October, Just two days after the butchery, he was arrested at Waterbury, Vt., where he had gone on the cars from Essex Junction, and he was taken to Burlington. On his way there he met the funeral procession of his victim and displayed the most as- tonisning indifference and utter coolacas. THE TRIAL. After a preliminary examination before a justice be was committed to jall to await trial at the County Court. The following April his case came up, anda verdict of guilty was given. On @ vechnicality of jaw he was allowed te appeal to the Supreme Court. Pending the session of that tribunal he was re- manded to the State Prison at Windsor, the Jail at Burlington not bemg considered suMictently secure. ‘he Supreme Court havimg confirmed the ediet of the County Court Welcome was sentenced ‘to soli- tary confiuement one year in the State Prison at Windsor, and then tobe uanged by the neck unul dead.” EFFORTS FOR COMMUTATION of sentence to ilfe tmprisontuent at hard labor were nearly suecessful. The Legislature in session last Uctober were petitioned on twe grounds, viz., the eXtreme youth of the prisoner and the old dodge of insanity. The House of Representatives turned a willing ear to these petitioners, notwithstanding the fact that a much larger number of jus own towns- mem prayed that te extreme penalty of the law might be enferced in his case, They even went 80 far as to allow his lawyer to plead before them’as a jury, as it were—a proceed- ing which bas no precedent in the doivgs of any le- gislative body. A committee was also appointed to visit him in the prison; and the resulc was that two bills were passed, one.to commute Welcome’s xen- lence, the o!ner to abolish capital punishment. Such summary action startled the people of the whoie State tremendously. Protests arose from every uarter, especiaily from une clergy and the press, ‘ne Senate, however, to their hunor be it said, re- Tused to pass either of the bills. People breathed free once more. The eiforts of a few false philan- thropisis to override the just and wholesome laws of the State, whic, have heretofore been rigidly en- forced, have signally failed. In consequence of this extraordinary effort made to save one of the worst villians from his just deserts great interest is mant- fested in tais case. The people of Vermone feel that their safety lies in a vigorous execution of the law. FUE CRIMINAL is now In close confinement, caim and quiet. He oc- cupies his time mainly im reading the books fur- nished by the prison library. Although he takes mo exercise, his health 1s excellent and he eats hearty meals. ‘The chaplain of the prison visits him con- stantly, and it is to be hoped that the doomed young man will seriously contemplate Mis dreadful end, so fast approaching. The execution is to take place on Friday, the 20Un day of January next.

Mk, TucKER—His Wire Du- SExTS Him.—Our readers wu recollect the case of Rev. Mr. ‘fucker, says the Troy Times, the pastor of the Vail avenue Methodist church, who last summer vacated his pulpit under circumstances such as led te a great deal of gossip in the community in regard to his Christian character and fidelity to his mar- riage relations. A femaie resided with him here who passed Jor lis niece or relative of some sort, but who subsequently claimed to be his wife. At the same time it was asserted he had a wife living in the South, Mr. Tacker procured @ leave of absence from his co! ‘ation and went upon a visit to bis former home in North Carolina. During his absence the gossips got hold of his domestic affurs, which appear to have been considerably nuxed, and not returning at the specified time the relations of the slergyman, with the church were sunderea, Mr, ‘Tucker now writes a ictter to Rev. Mr. Burdick, the presiding cider of the district, ia which he explains the circumstances of his cuse, He says he was alyorced from his tirst wife, she betng hopelessly in- sane—not a very good plea we are bound to say. No true man would-—and certainly a minisier of the Gospel ought not—desert a wite under such circum- stances, He then privately married the weman who lived with him here. The Church South expelled him, on political grounds, as he explains. Coming North, he kept his second Warriage 4 secret. Herein he confesses a grievous mistake; but now, worse than ail, worse even than expulsion from the Church, fy the fact that bis second wife haw deserted hima, and he duesn’t even know where she is. Mr. Tucker thinks she bas committed suicide, but we rather guess that isn’t very prebable. He is now residing in Virginia.

The irregularity referred wo | was im the leading articles of export, the | feeling in the markets for which had become despondent, owing to the inactivity generally pre- vailing. Suddenly the orders to buy became numer- ous midway of the week, and under favorable ad- Vices from Liverpool cotton and wheat impreved and vecame buoyant. The exact cause of the better deniand abroad is not precisely understood, but the war in Europe produces frequent and often erratic changes of opinion in the Liverpool market, the re- fection of which 1s experienced here. Ln this re- spect the exporting merchants met with a success strongly contrasting with that of their brethren tn the dry goods trade, Doubtless the Eastern question is at the bottom of the advance in wheat, for the English merchants are quick to take alarm at the probable interference with their Supplies from the Black Sea, especially as freights across the Atlantic are now more reasonabie. On the other hand, the cotton spinners of Great Britain may be just a8 sanguine that peace be- tween France and Germany is not far distant, and that their resources will be called into requisition to supply the exhausted industries of France. The holiday season has made the retail trade good in all departments, while the colaer weather has started ademand for winter clothing which has given the Uptown tradesmen plenty ef business. IN WALL STREET the week has been one of general duiness, outside of some of the railway and miscellaneous shares at the Stock Exchange, which are the subject of present speculative movements, The operators for a decline | have taken advantage of the indisposition to deal at this season, When moneyed men are loth to disturb their tavestments In bank and elsewhere, on ac- count of the sacrifice of interest which would be entailed by makwg achange. The “dears” have thus had full play in the stock market, and their eperations have met with little resistat MONEY, too, Was naturally active, owing tothe revival in the cotton and wheat trade, which occasioned large shipments of currency to the West and South, and stringency was produced by artifictu: infinences, large sums having been withdrawn from circulation 26, 187 by the od process of certified checks. At times the Tate on call loans Was a5 much as }¢ of one per cent per day—a state of affairs which not only checked fresh purchases, but induced holders on weak mar- gins to close out their accounts, The higher rates on call unsettled business in diseounts during most of the week, but toward the close there was more disposition to take prime mercantile paper at 7 a 835 per cent, POREIGN EXCHANGE. The previous dulness in the export trade had cleared the market of commercial bills, and, despite the later activity in shipments of produce and cotton, the leading bankers not only maintained, but ad- vanced rates for exchange. On Saturday they asked 1094; for sixty-day sterling and 11014 for sight, but tho market wd§ duil aud nominal at tnese quo- tations, GOVERNMENT BONDS, The duiness extended to the government Ist, which showed only rare and limited activity, Many houses laid in heavy stocks of bonds tn anticipation of a demani from capitalists and corporations seek- ing toevade the imposition of lecai taxation, bat their anticipation of business from this source was greatly disappoiuted, and the stringency in money occasioned @ return of the bonds to the street, with the result of producing lower prices. What the de- mand on this account nay be next week is proble- matical, but the original expectation may not have been too sanguine, THR SOUTHERN STATE BONDS were irregular, but toward the close sympathized with the higher price of cotton, The profits of each year’s crop have been largely reinvested in tnese securities, but the planters have not made so much money this year, and the market has not been so buoyant in consequence, THE BANK STATEMENT, The weekly statement of the associated banks proved more favorable than anticipated. Wille ‘he legal tenders have fallen of nearly three-quarters of a million of dollars, there 18 & gain in specie which reduces the decrease of iegal reserve to about $300,000, The shipment of currency to the West and South 1s re- fected in a decrease of over three millions of deposits, but as the legal tenders nave fallen off only a frac- tion of that amount ft 1s evident that the banks have responded to the call for money by sending pack- ages of national bank notes, The statement com- pares with its predecessor as follows:— Dec. 17.
