10 THE LONG STRIKE Final Rejection of Mr. Dickson’ Terms by the Miners, The Suspension Indefinitely Prolonged. Prospects of a Riot at Seranton—Martial Law Likely to Be Proclaimed. SCRANTON, Pa., May 14, 1871, ‘The region meeting of the Delaware and Hudson Cana! Compapy’s men concluded late last night to Teject Mr. Dickson’s proposition to arbitrate their differences under bis numerous conditions and will adhere vo their origiaal proposition. The men had A VERY HARMONIOUS ION nd discussed the questions at Issue most thoroughly. They claim that if Mr. Dickson cannot ‘tust to arbitration without unnecessary exactions they should not be expected todoso. They express & willingness to <0 to work withou: other conditions than that the rates of wages shall be the same as prevail in other regions, and are willing to submit that matter to arbitration and no other, They do not pretend to control the mines, only so far as re- muneration ts concerned, and urge that. they have fas good a right to fix tne price of their labor as the corporations have. This action of the miners de- cides the question as to A PROLONGATION OF SUSPENSION, and I think the companies’ managers are better pleased with it than they would have been if Mr. Dickson’s proposition had been accepted. The sole object of the great companies has been to crush the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association, and they have thus far been unsuccessful in their attempts. They still seem to cling to te starvation policy with the tenacity of men who never forget any- thing and can never jearn anything. But wuatever may be their plan itis quite certain that the mines Will not ve put in operation until the companies make a A SQUARE PROPOSITION to arbitrate and stand by it. Notwithstanding the Persistent assertions to the contrary of tose sup- porting the cause of theorporations, the first pro- Position to arbitrate in this quarter came trom the Men, aud the repiy hus been so weighed down by Mr. Dickson tat the advauce has proved a faiinre.

A despaten from Paris announces the death of Danie! Frangols Esprit Auber, the celeprated mu- sical composer, in the eighty-eighth year of nis age. He was the son of a Paris printseller, and was born at Caen during a visit of his parents to that city, on the 29th of Jannary, 1784. While @ mere child he displayed a natural genius for drawing and music, acquiring these arts with a facility that 1nduced his eather to abandon his purpose of educating him for a commercial iite, Before he had reached his tenth year he could play several instruments, incluaing the viol and piano, with considerable skill and execution, and his parents, having consented to graufy his taste, gave him a thorough musical edu- cation, But although his musical genius was evi- deht to ali who knew him and were judges of music Auper did nothing m nis youth to realize the expec tations he had raised, His compositions before 1813 were few in number and were all of littie im- portance, During the year mentioned his first opera,“Le S¢jour Militaire,” was produced. It was ® complete fatture and overwhelmed him witn grief and mortification, Soon after his father died, leaving his pecuniary affairs in so deplorable a condition that Auber was reduced almost to poverty, and was compelled for several ycars to earn a living by giving lessons in music, Meantime he prepared to seck the judg. ment of the musical pudlic in another composition, and in 1519 produced his second work, ‘Le Testa- ment et les Bilets-doux,” at the Opéra Comique. Its reception was as unfavorable as was that of “L Scjur Militaire,” Auber, however, was not dis- heartened by this failure. He went to work with renewed will, and during the following year (2820) produced “La Bergére Chatelaine,” whica, though not @ decided success, was somewhat favorably received. Encouraged by the popular approbation, he next composed “Emma, ou la Promesse Imprudente,’’ which appeared in 1821, im 1822 “Leicester” was given to the public. Jt met with considerable success, and was remark- able by the first assoctation of the two names of Auber and Scribe—an association henceforth in- Beparable—and by the first evidence it gave of the Rossinian influence in music. After ‘Leicester’ there iollowed in quick succession “La Neige,”’ in four acts (1823); “Le Concert @ 1a Cour,” in one act; “Léocadie,” lu three acts (is24); “Le Macon,” in turee acts (1825), which nad much popularity; “Le ‘Thalde,”’ iu one act, and “fioreiia’ (1825), In three acts, which lust named opera placed Auver in te ranks of the most popular composers for tue opera comque. But the great triumph of Auber was yet to come. He had wen popularity and reputauon, but-voth were Jocai. He was how to enier upon a wider field and before @ larger audieuce. On the 23th of Fepruary, 1828, the Grand Opera was crowded to its uUMOSt Capacity to witness the first perform. ance of La Muette de Portici”—betier known to Luglish readers under the name of *Massanieilo’’— an opera in five acts, the words of which were written by Mal. Scribe and Germ. Delavigne. In tis opera he frat departed from tne school in which he had been educated aud struck out a new line cf music for hiim- sell. Its success was overwhelming and at once placed i: ou an equal footmg with the most veauti- Tul works of Rossini aad Meyerbeer in the répertotre oi te principal theatres throughout Europe. Its overture, melodies and airs becaine the rage of the day, aud oue above all, the ‘Amour Sacré de la Patrie,” was regarded as @ second “Marselllaise Hymn,” and, two years jater, when sufif by Nou- ritt, Was the signa), at Brussels, of the revolution of th bof August, 1880. M. Auber had previ- ously giyen at tne Grand Opera, in collaboration with Herold, an oficial piece fran ale apiciet), gu ene en Espagne,’ on the occasion 1 the ny Wyepe’s retprn to Paris; but it met with Be teRe eee TS {8 Binder “Le Bieu et la Bayadere,” in vwo acts, the cast of Wiuch included Nourrtt, Mme. Damoreau and Allie. Tagiionl. In the same year his “ra Diavolo” ap- peared at the Opéra Comique, as did “La Fiancée’’ the year previous. Both these pleces were received with great applause and fuily established Auber’s reputation as a musical composer of great genius. We have not saificient space to enter into the details of his subsequent triumphs, Among his other works are “Le Philtre’ and “La Marquise de Brinvilliers’ (1831)—the latter in collaporation with Battou, Herold and Carafa; “Le Serment” (18: “Lestocg’? (1834); “rhe Cheval ce Bronze’ (1835); “Actéon,” “Les Chaperons Blancs,” and “L’Ambassadrice,” all in 1886; “Le Domino Noir” (1837), which he coniposed expressly for Mme. Damoreau on ber retirement from the stage; ‘Le Lac des Fées’’ (1839); anetta”’ (1840); “Les Diamants ae la Couronne” (1841); “La Barca: Tole’? (1845' Janon Lescaut’? (1546), one of the pieces of Auber the least favorabiy received by the public and the critics; “L’Enfant Prodigue’’ (1850); “Zerline, ou ta Marcnande d’ Oranges’ (1851), Auber was undoubtedly one of the few great mu- sical geuiuses of the age. His work is remarkable for dis perfect completeness. He had a style pecultarly his own and one in which he had many imitators, but no rivals. Hts music was, in general, lighi and easy, almost retin fo ghwamtes and most frequently origi- pal. He lacked the profund.ty of Rossini and other great composers, and he was often charged with neglecting the orchestra. evertheless, Whatever efects muy be pointed out in his music, it 1s cer- tai that the compositions of Auber wili live for many years, and thus his name will Gescend to posterity as that of one of the greatest composers of the nineteenta century, in April, 1829, Auber was elected a member of the Institute in place of M. Gossec, and four years pre- vious was made Chevalierof the Legion of Honor. Immediately after the accession of Louis Philippe that movarch appointed him Director of the Court Concerts, and in 1842 he succeedea, as Dtrector of the Conservatory of Music, the celebrated Uberu- binl, whom he resembled ieast of all the modern masters. In 1847 he was promoted to the rank of Commander of the Legion — of Honor, and after the revoluyon of 1848 and establishment of the second empire was taken into the favor of the Emperor, who appointed him director of music for the imperial chapel. Na- poleon also named him Grand Ojicer of the Legion ot Honor in 1561, that being the highest position he could attain in that order, Auber composed @ musical picce for the opening of the great Interna- tonal Extibition of 1862. He composed but iittie or nothing afterward. If his great age had not im- paired his geninsand hts devotion to music, it had, atleast, Impuired his capacity for labor. Full of years the old composer bas gone to his grave, leave ing behind a fame Which can only die with civiliza- liom itself. ANOTHER SUIPLE OF CAR RUFFIANISN, New York, May 9, 1871, To THE EDITOR OF THE NERALD :— Ido not remember ever seeing a letter printed in your paper writien by a lady, but as I have some- thing to communicate I take courage and adaress you. Returning from a funeral last Sunday I, with a lady friend, entered a Sixth avenue car at Twenty- ninth street. Atier we were seated I noticed two colored girls sitting opposite. Presently one of our New York ruflians, who sat in the corner, moved down beside the girls and asked one for a pin to fasten a rose Oa his coat. The girls moved down to the end of the car and he imsolentiy fol jowed, when be again asked, “Give me a pin, will you?” They moved in tne corner as closely as pos- sible, he sull crowding them, The girl next to him leaned over to speak to a lady sitting over on our Siue of the car, when the rufian moved in her place, 80 that If she bad atiempted to sit down again with- out looking ind her she would nave fuund her- selfon hislap, Ougit not that man to have been bursewhipped? ‘Tie conductor then ordered lim to Move along, but he refused. A gentieman on the rear piatiorm interfered, but the scoundrel shook his fst at bim and swore terribly, upon which tha gentleman insisted upon having the car stopped aud policemen cailed. Wuether from lack of brains or courage | cannot say, but the conductor refused to do this, The girls got out of the car and the man, when I left at Forty-fifth street, was still swearing and threatening. I do not ask you to pub lish this miserabie letter (but 1 do not care if you do), but as you seem so interested on this subject of Jate I write for your own satisfaction. I think that man oughtto have been dragged to the platiorm and theu kicked to the sidewalk. Now, sir, have conductors any right to allow such drunken men on the cars? or when they see they are intoxicated have they not a right, a perfect right, to put them off the cary notto walt for a policeman but to put thei off themselves? Ido not wonder there are so many appeals from our generous pubilc to estad- lish some protection besides conductors tor ladies on the street cars. Task you pardon, sir, if I have wear ed you, but sincerely hope you wiil share my just indignation.

Is Driggs’ Drainage Scheme a Fraud, a Snare and a Delusion An Alloged Gigantic Jersey Legislative Swin- @le—A Huge “‘Job’’ to Fleece Jersey Meadow Owners—Another Great Opportunity Slip- ping Out of Newark’s Reach—Where Are Her Men of Intellectual Grasp and Enterprise t—Inter- esting Facts and Figures— What Took Place in Court on Saturday. Over in New Jersey, stretching from tne Bergen heights to Elizabethport and Perth Amboy, lies an immense tract of seml-submerged land or swamp known as the Newark and Elizabethport meadows. For years this property, chiefly owned by the de- scendants of the original settlers of the “Towne on the Passayak” and surrounding towns and villages, has been regarded as worthless, and no regular effort, worthy of being called such, was made to render it useful, What to do with it, or how to re- claim it and turn itinto agricultural or other uses, was long the great puzzling question, and, indeed, continues so to be toa greater or lesser extent. Of late years a well-conceived plan was carried out by a well-known capitalist of the metropolis having in view the reclamation of a large tract; and thus far the plan, though not entirely successful, has never- theless been so much inclined that way that strong hopes are now entertained that the SOLUTION OF THE GRAND PUZZLE is among the very likely probabilities, On some portions of the reclaimed land, between the Hacken- sack river and Newark, tolerably good corn was ralsed last year. In view of this and other facts the owners of the meadows are beginning to realize that thetr property is of some considerable value. More particularly are their wits sharpened on this Point in consequence of the passage, a year or two ago, by the New Jersey Legislature, of a certain act known as at THE DRIGGS DRAINAGE BILL. This bill gives some unheard-of and most extraor- ainary rights and privileges to a Mr. Driggs, a resi- dent of New Brunswick, and through him to a company of cunning New York speculators. Under the provisions of the bill—which 1s ostensibly enacted for the purpose of dyking, draining and re- claiming the meadow lands in question all the way from Newark to Perth Amboy, some twenty odd miles—the company of which Driggs is the figure head 1s empowered to take, without the consent of the real owners, thousands of acres, THIS CONFISCATED PROPERTY the “company” are required to lay out as follows:— Fifty feet in from the river or bay front 1s to remain intact, the next twenty-five feet 18 to be a dyke, then @ space of twenty-five feet, then another dyke of twenty-five feet, and the balance, fifty feet, to be made intoaroad. The following map is perhaps quore cowprenensive:— “ "sae River or Bay Front, *. eee * | Space—so feet. Dyke —25 feet, | Space—25 feet. | Road —50 feet. | * - * In from the line of the “road,” the meadows in some points run for miles, and are to be drained by parallel ditches. Owners have one privilege, and that 1s that if they elect to still hold ownership of their property they caa do so in its “improved” state by planking down $135 per acre. About a year ago, in conformity with @ supplement passed to the original act of incorporation, three commissioners were appointed to look after, as was designed, the interests of the meadow owners, These were ap- pointed by Judge Depue, of N@wark, the meadow owners themselves havipg failed to agree, on re- peated previous meetings. The names of the com- missioners are Aaron Robertson, 0! orris county; Jonn Rutherfurd, of Newark, and Amos Robbins, o| Middlesex. Last winter a strong effort was made by alew of the leading owners to have the bil repealed. It was openly denounced as A MOST INFAMOUS SWINDLE all the way turough, and not only a high-handed piece of usurpative fegisiation and aownright rob- bery at its inception, but the most unbiushing piece of bare-faced public plundering. The gentlemen, however, who had charge of tne ‘repeal movement were not inducted into THE LEGISLATIVE MYSTERIES OF TRENTON, and so rewrned to their homes without accomplish- ing their object. Since theu the little Driggs cloud no bigger than a man’s hand bas begun fo be ob- served, and just now the owners are greatly agi- tated, and a meeting 1s contemplated at an early day looking to the taking of measures to bring tue matter beiore the courts and test the validity of the obnoxious law. The belief prevatis that THE DEFEAT OF THE REPEAL Movement was due to the combined influence of the Jersey Central Railroad and the ——_. men. The Cenirai Das just acquired power to build a brancn road from Elizabeth to Newark to connect with the Newark aud New York Railroad at a point known as. Brili’s farm. The lease of the latter to the former afew days ago, as exclusively published inihe HERALD, ts perhaps explained thereby. Tnere are now two large natural streams ruuning tirough the meadows from the y up for several miles across, under the line of the New Jersey Railroad and as far as Newark city proper. s¢ leave a depth of water varying from eleven feet upwards. One of these, Bound Creek, Was used during the Revolution as A RUNDEZVOUS FOR SMUGGLERS. The old docks, away up the stream, near the Alms House, are still to he seen. At its mouth, well in, it has a depth of eleven feet. These two creeks, it 1s intended by Driggs and the railroad to choke up, so that the jatter would not be compelled to build briages. It is computed that at a-cost of $25,000 this: same creek might be made to the city of Newark a source of incalculable wealth. Dredged and widened it would serve all the purposes of the proposed ship canal, which wouid cost mullions. Besides the sanitary welfure of the near and continually grow. ing neighboriood demands that these natural streams should be left open. Moreover, the land on either side of the siream would be invaluable for factory and storehouse butlding purposes, water transportation being so handy, A geatieman well informed on the subject aiso assured the HERALD reporter that the turning of this creek to account would eif.cta saving In distance between Newark and New York, by water, of at least seven miies. This same gentleman 1s of opinion that the in- creased value Of the first thousand feet down from the creek would Bice pay the cost of rendering it navigable. The Theadow owners, he says, would readily dispose of the right, titie and interest in the meadows to the city on any reasonable terms; but they are still determined to oppose the land grabbers of New Brunswick and New York. Yesterday the matter came up in the Essex county court, before Judge Depue, ‘The commissioners above named made, it appears, a contract with the draining company, and thls contract came up for confirmation by the Court. This contract is in effect as belore intended—that the company shall proceed to DRAIN THE MEADOW: meanwhile assessing the owners $135 per acre, there being no guarantee to them that the land wili be improved or not rendered still more valneless. In the event of the owner being poor and Not able“ to pay the assessment his property 1s wrested from him and he is powerless to interpose, As regards the justice of the contract quite a number of Jersey lawyers had much to say pro and con, Mr. McUarthy opposed the ap- roval of the contract on the grounds that the Legis. ature had set no price and the one inserted was ex- cessive, and that under the act it was impossible for the commissigners to fix @ price. Mr. Courtman Barker followed on the other side. Then came General Runyon, who made some lengthy remarks, in course of Which he naively intimated that Peter Sanford had offered to drain the meadows for $30,000, Whereas Driggs’ people wanted $810,000 to commence with. The Judgé said he would give a decision im the Matter at an early aay. A VOICE AGKINST THE PROPOSED LEXINGTON AVENUE RAILROAD. To THE EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— Apparently in pursuance of their established cus- tom of suiting themselves, although tuergby dam- aging and annoying tue helpless citizens, the ad- herents of the “ring” bave determined to lay a railroad track in Lexington avenue, This 18 @ grievance much felt by myself and family. If we must have a public conveyance on our retired and heretofore peaceiul avenue, why notrana line of stages, Which are a much more respectabie mode of transit than street care? The route proposed, it ig said, 1s from the depot, Fourth avenue and Forty- second sireet, down Lexington avenue to Thirty-fftn or Thirty-sixth street, thence to avenue © or Dry Dock. So the line will net be of any use to most of the residents on or near Lexington avenue, since few will have occasion to visit that quarter of the town, If a track must be lata here, a por- ton of the cars should ron the length of the avenue, turn into Fourth and have a branch westward through Twenty-third street, to the North river. This would ‘accommodate many persons wishing to reach that spot, ana more desirous of access to tne various places of amuse- ment on that route (flve in number) These are now quite inaccessible by those residing far up town east of Madison avenue, A pian that woutd afford ua aconventent method of reaching them wouid be hailed with satisfaction, and compensate to some extent tae Injarles otherwise inflicted.

To be absolved by apostolic authority trom ecclestastical cetisure and punishment are all those penitents, collectively ‘as well as singly, who may have co-operated with the ret lion against the Pontifical dominion, or adhered to it, or iven ft their help and favor in any way, or given their vote forthe union of Italy under one king (rive. totum pro. unione Teilice sub unico rege d ecclestastical runt), or violat immunity- prov! they have given beforeban signs of true Gt cor, made good ‘in the best ‘and after the prudent judgment way | they co of the ordinaries of confessors, the scandal they have given rise to, and promised by oath obedience to the Holy See and ate orders, the salutary penitence and the other punishments customary, according to the being inflicted on all and every one{n proportion to howe Fingleaders (mazistrisy ehiets (corriphais), instigator ubiic officials, and those who have violated ecciesiastical munity by laying hands on cardinale, bishops or other or- datned priests—for all whom {t will be necessary to huve re- course in each case to the Sacred Penitentiary. 2 May be absoived, with the aforesaid conditions and ex- ceptions, ecclesiastics, if any, who have been guilty of the aforesaid crimes, after, nowever, having entered (the text Says eyvessi, but this must be an error of the press) a religious house and spent therein a whole month in spiritual exer- cises. These will be treated merciful the Apostolic authority in all that concerns the irregularity and violation of the foresaid censure in whatever way it may have taken place, a salutary penance being inflicted upon each one of them according to law and custom, always excepted never+ theless those persons excepted in No. 1. 8 Are to be oquaily absolved, under the conditions ex- pressed in No, 1, from ecclesiastical! punishment and censure, those soldiers who bore arms and fought against the Ponti- fical sqperelanty, provided they be ready io) thelr mind, as toon ab they can do it witout, danger for their lives, to leave unjust army (dumun timen anid parati sint quamprimum — poteruit sine periculo vitae ijutam mititiam deserere), and meanwhile to abstain from all acts of hostility’ against the subjects and soldiers of the legitimate ee, and from acts against ecclesiastical property, nd ‘persons—a proportioned salutary penitence ‘and the obligation to repair the damage (as it is just) they may have done by personal initiative being equally inuicted upon each of them according to th measure of bis shortcomings, excepting, how: generals and officers who were ‘able to de IY (sie) without danger to thelr lives or any other severe punish- ment, as well as those who, a8 beforesald, have violuted ec- clenluatical immunity by laying hands on the cardinals, bishops, or other ordained priests, for all of whom it_ will gach {isis be necessary to havo recourse to the Sacred Peni- ntiary. THE LAST ERIE RAILROAD ACC:DENT. in, except Names of the Killed and Wounded. [From the Buffalo Express, May 13.) At anout half-past four o’clock yesterday morning an accidént occurred on the Erie Railroad near Aitica which 1s one of the saddest that we have been called upon to chronicle for some time. As we are informed by oficiais of the road the catastrophe was in this wise:—A regular freight train coming west broke in two near a place calied Griswold, be- tween Attica and Darien, about fifteen freight cars, one caboose and an emigrant car becoming de- tached. The emigrant car was the last on tne train and contained two score or more men, women and children, A special freight train was just behind the regular, and previous to the break in the latter both had been going at a high rate of speed. When the fact of the accidental uncoupling was ascer- tained the engineer of the regular immediately stopped his engine and proceeded to back up 80 as to gey his train in order, but before this could be ac- complished the special came on, dashing into the rear of the detached cars, Smashing the emigrant car completely, injuring some of the other cars and damaging the locomotive somewhat. # So sudden and complete was the collision that the inmates of the last car haa no opportunity of es- cape, and as a natural result a large number of them were more or less injured. Five ciildren were in. stantly Killed, and one woman so badly hurt that her condition 13 regarded as precarious, Taking into consideration the direct and terrific force of the concussion, the wonderment 1s that not more were killed or badly injured. As it is the great ma- jority of victims were fortunate in escaping with slight cuts and bruises, which, though in some cases severe, are not of a dangerous nature, Immediate'y after the occurrence of the catas- trophe, physicians from Attica, Alden and Darien made their appearance on the ground and busied themselves the greater part of the forenoon in con- tributing to the needs of the sufferers. ‘The officers of the railroad, we understand, exerted themsélves for the accommodation of their unfortunate passen- gers and brought many of them to this city about noon, A dozen or more of the injured ones went to the hotel of Josepu Mergenhagen, on Exchange street, where they remained during a greater portion of the afternoon, until taken to the hospital. . THE DEAD. From the wreck of the emigrant car were taken the little bodies of five young children, all of whom bore upon their white, cold faces the terripie bruises: that caused their deaths. By direction of the rall- road omicials they were brought to the city and con- veyed instantiy to Kraft’s deadhouse. ‘Their names are:—Jane Bell, aged six years; Robert Beli, aged two yeurs; Dortie De Launa, aged four years; Mana De Laana, aged one year and six monilis; Jannette Wilson, aged three years. THE WOUNDED. As near as can be ascertained the number of per- sons injured, aside from the five deaths, 1s about thirty. Some are at Attica and two or ilree others, it is Teported, have becn made coitortable for the time being at farm houses in the vicinity of Gris- wold. Up to last evening tweuty-three of the suf- ferers had been recived at the General Hospital, and were the recipients of the best of attention from the ailable Mr. Bagley and tne courteous Dr. Harrington. The following are tune names of the wounded :—Alfred Hinman, twenty- one years of age, from England; both collar bones broken and injury of the chest; was on his way to Toronto, Johu Hickey, thirty years of age; came from Tipperary, Iretand; was on his way to Uswe- go, Ill; one of his legs broken, William Waters, aged thirty-nine years; came from Northwaid, England; was on his way to Ypsilanu, Mich.; severely injured about the head and sustained frac- ture of the knee.
