Business in Yokohama had improvea, MARRIAGE OF AMASA SPRAGUE, A Peculiarly Interesting Ceremony in Providence=No Extravagant Display and but Few Guests. PRovipENCE, R. I., Nov. 12, 1873, An important event in the Sprague family, which, in anticipation, has been the subject of much talk in the community during the past few weeks, occurred this evening—viz., the marriage of Colonel Amasa Sprague, of the firm of A. & W. Sprague, to a daughter of the late Byron Sprague. When the crisis in the Sprague affairs arose the engagement, which existed since last spring, naturally entered into the consideration of matters and things in connection with the Spragues, and among people in their circles of wealth and fashion ex- pectations of the marriage have been held for over a fortnight, Such a ceremony, under existing circumstances, cannot, one would think, be very joyful. But, be that as it may, the great affair has at last taken place, and that, too, before the business interests of the great house are settled. In marked contrast with the brilliant wedding which occurred at the Sprague mansion nearly ayear ago, when another daughter of the late Byron Sprague was the bride, this marriage hse! QUIET AND WITHOUT ANY GREAT DISPLAY. No unusual preparations were made for the event, and no such stir or Nutter was created in the fash- ionable world as would be expected from the mar- riage of such a wealthy and notable couple. Cards this time were issued to only about filty persons. At the previous wedding hundreas were invited and caine, briiliantiy aud eiaborateiy costumed, As your reporter this evening approached the beautitul mansion in Young Orchard avenue, where reside the widow, Mrs. Byron Sprague, and her daughter, and which adjoins the other elegant Sprague mansion in which Mr. P. A. Doyle, brother-in-law of Amasa and William Sprague, re- sides, he found the rooms lighted from top to bot- tom; but in and around the house all was appar- ently quiet, @ stillness almost as at a funeral rather than that of a wedding, A police sergeant and six of his subordinates, detailed by Mayor Doyle, were on duty in the pas- sage way, but had very little to do, for THE ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL, nor were there any peering eyes or intruding per- sons about the premises. About hall-past seven o’clock the carriages containing the invited guests began to arrive, and white gloved and full uni- formed policemen assisted the guests to alight. At eight o'clock, the hour for the ceremony, all the guests—not more than fifty or sixty alto- gether—had arrived. Among thosein attendance were Senator William Sprague, Miss Fanny Sprague, Thomas A. Doyle, with several othor members of the family, besides their prominent and wealthy Sriends. THE CEREMONY was soon proceeded with, and was marked with eculiar interest in view of the circumstances, (he clergymen who performed the marriage rites were the Rey. Mr. Greer, rector of Grace church ar the Rey. Mr. Henderson, of the piscopal church in Cranston, which adjoins Provi- dence, aud which is the residence of the bride- room. The bride, who is quite young, being only tween nineteen and twenty years ofage, was very prettily, though not gorgeously, attired. Nor, indeed, were any of the attendants dressed in any remarkable degree of splendor, The whole affair and usual accompaniments did not oc- cupy more than an hour and a half, and the passers by would not imagine on glancing at the residence that a wedding was celebrating oY one of the wealthiest houses in Rhode Island. ‘The whole square and adjacent streets were, on the occasion of the previous bij wedding, thronged with fartiages and people, an the mansion presented thé appearance of a bril- lianuy illuminated palace. But the circumstances attending the house of ae have altered since then, and, however much the bridal pair and their guests may be inclined to display, their interests bbe! forbade any dazzle or unusual rejoic- ing on this occasion, In the present unsettled state of affairs the bridal trip must be postponed, What effect the marriage will have on the future relations of the house remains to be seen, OBITUARY, 8S.

The visitors’ seats were well filled, and the arguments of most of the speakers were listened to with evident interest. Dexter A. Hawkins was the first to present his views in opposition to the scheme, He argued the case from a strictly financial point of view, urging that the city, already committed as she was to the completion of her Court House and district court houses, new Croton aqueducts, boulevards, docks and public parks, could not afford to further em- barrass herself with the $2,500,000, It will cost, he estimated, at least $100,000,000 to complete what is now In progress. This, added to our city debt, will swell it to over $200,000,000, The amount asked will not erect the buildings, and other ap- propriations will have to be called for and fur- nished before the proposed structure becomes of any real value to the city, Ifthe city had the money it would be unwise to lend it. It is an enterprise into which nota single private speculator could be induced to. enter as a safe venture. In reply to a question by Assistant Alderman Clancy Mr. Hawkins stated that he was in favor oO! giving em)loymenut to the laboring men, but that he feared this did not present the remedy for their pressing wants. George A. C. Barnet, a director of the Industrial Exhibition Company, called upon Mr. Strahan, the Mayor's private sccretary, to retract what he had said on the preceding day Tegarding the inability of the company to employ the labor- ers at once. As proof that the Mayor's representative was mistaken, the spsaker oflered to present a copy of the original charter, showin, that the land could be acquired upon the paymen' of the money, at least Jar more than could be occupied by workmen. Work could be furnished toalarge number of employés within ten days alter tae money was paid over by the Comptroller. Nearly $1,000,000 was guaranteed for the lease and freehold of the site for the building, $200,000 being paid down to secure the purchase, The speaker then turned bis attention to the Mayor. fe said that the Mayor evidently distiked some- body tn the company. He had been identified with the directory of the company until within a few weeks, when he had left, and now saw fit to characterize his associates, such men as Wilham B. Ogden and A. S. Dillon, as swin- diers, It is not the scheme of a pure adventurer, Those men are not adventurers! Why don’t His Honor point out the adventurer? The allega- tions are all made in the same wholesale manner and are to be accepted without any show ot poor, beeause the man making them 18 Mayor of New York. William B, Ogden was absent from the city, but the speaker said that he appeared to defeu the character of an injured fellow citizen. (Ap- planes.) The directors of the company, who have en assailed by the statement that this grant of money will be used in the lobby at Albany, declare the slander the base and malicious allegation of a man who became Mayor by accident, Mr. Strahan said that for the Mayor he would not reply, as His Honor was able to take care ol him- self, He said that nothing had been stated in the Mayor's letter which could not be proved. He guaranteed to make everything plain. Edward Roberts, a citizen, demanded to know why the Mayor was not present with his proofs, George A. C. Barnet then produced the original papers, and offered to lay them before the Board. Theodore KE, Tomlinson made a lengthy speech in favor o1 the scheme. Mr. Dodge, a citizen, suggested that the proper place tor the building was on the Central Park. Mr. Bebe, a real estate man, said that the valua- tion ($7,500) put on the property was not high, James Boyd, Edw. Roberts and Assistant Alder- man Clancey spoke in favor of the scheme, The latter said that legally the paper on which they, as @ body, were to decide was before them, The people’s verdict was given a few days ago; 70,000 eople denounced the reform movement and called talie, “Look out,’ he said, “or a bread riot.” James Connolly asked leave to speak. He said that he was a committeeman from the Working- men’s Central Council and desired to koow whether the body wich he represented could lay a communication before the comgnittee. He stated that a large mass meeting of workingmen would be held on Saturday night at Tammany Hall to dis- cuss this very question. ‘The Committee of Assistant Aldermen appointed next Tuesday, at one o'clock, for giving hearing to the Workingmen's Central Council, aud then ad- Journed. TAILORS! WAGES, Meeting of the Central Body Last Night— No Redaction of Prices. Delegations from all the working tailors of New York met last night at Coburger Hall, No. 10 Stan- ton street, to hear the reports of the committees appointed to confer with tne employing firms about the proposed change in the scale of wages, An erroneous statement published in one of the city papers represented that a bill had been partially agreed upon effecting a reduc- tion of prices equivalent to five per cent. This re- port was denounced by several speakers as totally untrue. The several committes for conference re- ported that all the merchants, on receiving the ex- planations of the journeymen’s committee, agreed hot to ask any abatement in the prices for work, Representations were made to the employers that it would be very nard on the men, who have hardly half employment, to cut down the pay for the work, which is almost entirely done by the piece. To this view the employers generously consented, though suffering severely from stagna- tion of trade and diMiculty of collecting, while at the same time they generally hold large stocks of imported goods in the face of a failing market for their manutactured garments. This trade is one of the strongest of the Iabor unions in the city. It counts about 2,000 members, has ample junds inits treasury and is connected with an international tailors’ union extending through the United States and Canada. The Treas- uret reported that he had received back a loan made last winter to the tailors of Philadelphia, then on strike. Also that $300, donated by the Union to the sufferers at Memphis, had just been returned to the donors as not needed, A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Hoey, of the Adams Express Company, for carrying the money to Mem- phis and bringing it back without charge, All languages and nationalities are represented in this Union. Proceedings are carried on mainly in German, English and French, the Chairman in- terpreting the remarks of delegates and making his decisions in the several tongues to the cosmo- politan collection of operatives, who keep their de- ates from the danger of dryness by a judicious supply of lager. High satisfaction was expressed atthe announcement that there was to be no abatement in the scale of wages. ACTION OF THE BROOKLYN ALDERMEN, ‘Work To Be Provided tor the Laborers. A special meeting of the Brooklyn Board of Aldermen was held last night for the purpose of taking some action in regard to the employment of some of the laboring classes. Alderman Wylie was called to the chair and briefly stated the object for which they had con- vened. Alderman O’RILEY, chairman of the committee appointed to confer with the Board of City Works, made a verbal report, saying that they could raise sumicient funds without being compelled to issue certificates of indebtedness, They could raise the money by transferring it from one account to another. Alderman Ropes concurred in this report. Alter some discussion Alderman O’RiLEy offered the following:— Rerolved, That the Comptroller be and he {s hereby di- rected to trausfer from moneys returned by the Board of Commissioners of City Works as fees for opening and making sewer connections, to credit of street repairin fund, the eum of $9.00, and’ to place the balance of said moneys heretofore received aud to be received as fees for making sewer connections to the credit of “appropria- tion for repairs and maintenance of sewers,” The resolution was adopted. Alderman Ropes sat “I move that it is the sense of this Board thatthe Board of City Works notily the contractors having uncompleted contracts to roceed ar once with their work, in order to give hese men labor, and any failure to do go, to be reported to this Board. We live,’’ satd the Alder- man, “in extraordinary times, and we have met to- night for the purpose of providing means of sub- sistence for these laboring men. Ido not know why these contractors should not do their share towards assisting these poor men. They can re- ceive their bonds for their pay, and even if they have to sell them for ninety cents on a doilar they would then make more mouey than if this had never occurred. The movion prevailed and the mecting then ad- jvurnea, BROOKLYN LABORERS EMPLOYED, The Board of City Works met yesterday and re- Solved to renew work on street repairs, employing the same number of gangs and the same men as those recently discharged, said gangs to consistof eight laborers, two pavers, one rammer, two or three horses and carts, as needed, and one fore- man. The funds will keep the men employed jor about one month, MORE OF THE OITY'S MEANNESS, To tHe Epitor oF THE HERALD: — As you have taken considerable interest in the transactions of tho Street Cleaning Bureau, we, as employés of satd bureau, would like to tn- quire why we are not paid our wages for last month, The misery and destitution It has brought upon many cannot be esumated.

AMUSEMENTS, Ktalifan Opera—“Gli Ugonotti.”* «The second performance of Meyerbeer’s chef- @euvre last evening was superior im many re- spects tothe first one. The chorus seemed to be more at ease and the orchestra more lement toward the voices, The ‘Rataplan” was given with brilliancy and effect, unmarred by the alight- est mistake {o tone or tempo. The “Blessing of the Poniards” was another triumptr for the chorus and was & gratifying indication of the admirable training this important department-received trom Signor Muzio, whose exertions are unceasing and discipline severe. The septet of the duel also went better than at the first performance. ‘Te triumph of Madame Nilsson and Signor Campanini tn the rand duet of the jourth act was greater than eiore, the entire house being convulsed with ap- plause and excitement such as no artists ever drew forth during any previous season at the Academy of usic. Madame Nilsson has eclipsed all those operatic rdéles with which her name has been so long and so in- timately associated by the grandeur of her Valentine, The entire scene, from the departure of the murderers on their bloody mission to the frenzied Racane of Valentine and Raoul, is of the most thrilling and absorbing nature, and shines the more through the lustre thrown upon it by two such remarkable interpreters, Our stage has been jong @ Stranger to such @ display of lyric genius. The excellence of the ensemble of this oompany is shown in the fact that they have given the best representation of tne most difliguit opera of the Italian repertoire that New York opera-goers have witnessed here for nearly twenty years. Musical and Dramatic Notes. The second Sunday concert of the Strakosch troupe takes place at Wallack’s on Sunday next, The one hundredth representation of the opera of “Hamlet,” at the Grand Opera in Paris, was pre- vented by the late destruction of the buliding. The first Philharmonic concert takes place at the Academy of Music on Saturday. Mile. Anna Drasdil will sing arias from Gluck’s ‘Orpheus’ and Rossini’s “Tancredi,” ‘Two remarkable performances of “Il Trovatore’! take place on Friday next at the Academy of Music and Lyceum Theatre. The Leonoras will be Mme. Nilsson and Mile. Di Murska; the Azucenas, Miss Cary and Mme. Lucca; the Manricos, Campa- nini and Tamberlik, and the Counts, Del Puente and Mari. Mile. Legault, ayoung girl of fifteen, beautiful and in every way endowed for suceess as an ac- tress, lately made her début in Paris as Agnes, in Moliére’s “Ecole des Femmes.” The critics have decided that “Mile. Legault seems too knowing; her large eyes are more vivacious than astonished, her mouth shows beautiful white teeth, but she opens it with a sort of preparation; all her person is young and charming, but, in fine, she rather expresses malice than the complete innocence of an Agnes."’ “The Magic Flute’ will be given to-night by M. Maretzek’s company at the Lyceum Theatre, This production of Mozart has no attraction with mediocre singers to interpret its music. Even with Mme, Luccaas Pamina, Mile. di Murska as the Queen of Night, and Mons. Jamet as AstramMa- mente, there was at the last performance of the opera here a paipable need of strength tn the lesser parts. As Pamina Mme. Lucca is extremely good, and Mile. di Murska is probably unequalled in the bravura singing, which is the great feature of her part in “The Magic Flute.” PIGEON SHOOTING. Match of $400 Between Earnest Staples and Charles A, Lamsop—The Latter the Winner. For three or more weeks the pigeon shooting fraternity of New York have been much exercised regarding a match between Messrs. Earnest Staples and Charles A, Lamson. Every broker in legiti- mate business aud ‘curbstone operator,” out of the regular trade in Wall and Broad streets, dis cussed the result of the match, aud some, more venturesome than the more intimate friends of the principals, bet their money wildly, Yesterday was excelleut for accuracy in the matter of shooting; but, perhaps because of its clouded and rainy nature, the attendance was limited. The conditions of the match were fiity birds each, 21 yards rise and 80 yards boundary, H and T traps, using 154 oz. shot. " When the princi- pals were called 1t was found that Mr. Staples in- tended to use a Grant muzzle loader, 11 gauge, and Mr. Lamson a Dougall's breech loader, 10 central fire. Mr. Benjamin DeForrest was appointed judge for Mr. Lamson and Charles Banks for Mr, Staples. The referee was Mr. P. R, Stetson, and the trapper and handler Mr. dra A. Paine. In the matter oi betting Mr. Staples was the favorite “dollars to cents,’’ and not until the shooting haa long progressed did the “popu- lace” conceive that their favorite could be beaten. Then @ few friends of Mr. Lamson showed their dol- Jars, but they ventured them in such a limited man- ner that there were but few responses. From the Start Mr. Lamson took the lead, and although there was “divided opinion” regarding the resuit, he won gallantly by four birds, all of which were of the liveliest nature.

The American Public Health Assocation reas- sembled yesterday morning, at half-past ning o'clock, in the ball of the Union League Club. Dr. Stephen Smith presided, The first paper read was on “The Sanitary Care and Utilization of the Refuse of Cities,” by Dr. C. A. Leas, of Baltimore, and Dr. J, H. Ranch, of Chicago, Dr. LeAS gave detailed descriptions ef the dumping grounds in Baltimore, There coal ashes was invariably added to night soil, which it de- odorized, and this manure was soid by the city of Baltimore for from $15 to $20 per ton and was used by many gardeners and farmers, The broken coal was used for burning and repairing roads, Oid boots were burned to ashes and used for manufac- turing iron, Old pots and pans, however, could not be utilized, When this system of utilizing re- tuse was perfected, Dr, Leas believed that the re- fuse would pay for the whole cost of scavengering, Dr. J, N. Rancu, of Chicago, described the pro- cess of disinfecting vaults in the Garden City. The disinfectants were chloride of iron and chloride of lime, The results were highly satisfactory. Dr. 0. 0, Cox, President of the Board of Health of Washington, D. C., was in favor of giving the Sani” tary Commissioners greater power, to make them “health despots,’ as it were. He minutely de- scribed the different methods of removing night soli which had been tried at Washington, and the problem had at last been solved to the satisfaction of the Board of Health. Dr. 3. C, RusskL. submitted an extended re- port upon “Yellow Fever As It Prevailed in New Orleans During the Present Year." He gave a history of each case, Of the thirteen omMcers who attended to the work of disin{fec- tion not one took the disease. Did not the constant use of disinfectants protect them from the fever? If the use of proper aisiniectants, the sprinkling of the streets, &c., did not entirely Prevent the fever, it certainly checked its spread to @ very great extent, Quarantine measures were not so effective. Some of the physicians were unwilling to report cases of the fever, fearing that the people in the vicinity would not like to use disinfectants, Never before did the disease spread so slowly as it did this year in New Orleans, and this was merely owing to the effective use of disinfectants, Dr. CHANDLER, President of the Board of Health, of this city, desired to say a word about carbolic acid. Bituminous coal when subjected to a high state of temperature yielded coal tar, and this was the material from which carbolic acid was ob- tained. The light oil, or naphtha, carried with it carbonic acid. For privy disinfection the ‘dead oil” was used in this city, and for street disinfec- tion a kind of carbolic acid (seventy per cent), & cheap metallic solution, was used, which cost about ten cents per-pound., The ordinary sprinkler of the cart was removed and hand sprinklers were used with which 150 miles of gutters were disinfected in one week. A mixture of hall a gallon of dead oil and naif a gallon of zinc solu- tion was employed in the disinfection of privies. The Conference then resolved itself into a busi- ness meeting. A quoram of twenty-five members Was requested to elect new members, and it was found that only twenty-one deiegates were pres- sent. Dr. Woopwarp, of the United states Army, pro- posed that the association adjourn sine die, and that anew society be formed on the spot. This was done, and Dr. Woodward moved that the members of the defunct society now resolve themseives in‘o & new “Public Health As- Sociation,” so that the old association ex- pired and the new one saw the light of day simultaneously, and ali because there was no quorum present. ‘A new constitution was then draited. Dr. Woodward, chairman of the commit- tee appointed for the purpose, recommended tnat the old constitution be adopted, with two excep- tions; in the first place, that the President should be elected neve He Biers and the Secretary for three years, and in the second place, that nine members should constitute a yet The constitution was then read, section by section, and adopted as a whole, with the two important alterations men- tioned above. This occupied a very long time, giving rise, as it did, to considerable discussion in regard to minor points, Dr. VANDERPOEL proposed that the new associa- tion assume all the debts of the old one. (Laugh- ter.) The Presmpent—Our treasury is very full; we have not paid out anything. All the members of the defunct society were then declared to be members of the new Public Health Association. Mr. JACKSON SCHULTZ, Who was present at the meeting, was requested to give his experiences in Europe in regar@ to sanitary matters. In the city of Paris, he said, not a single privy was connected with the sewers, The expense of removing the night soil there was double that of New YorN or Boston. The city of Paris could not and would not Most of the cities in Southern furope Were situated on the banks of small streams, and all had this difficulty to contend with, He had gone into the parts of Paris hidden under the pavement. The city of Vienna was the flithiest city he ever saw. The streets were clean enough, but the back yar’s of houses were in the vilest condition. He examined the sewers of Paris carefully; they were so clean that a lady could pass through them without soiling her dress or trail They could scarcely perceive that the water coming from the sewers was defiled at all. All the cities in France and Germany which he had visited had found it impossible to utilize the refuse, and he could not agree withthe gentlemen who claimed that they could make the utilization of refuse pay. Since health could not be better promoted than by let- ting the liquid refuse flow into the sea, it was for the advocates of utilization to prove that wey could make 105 cents on the dollar by any suc! process. General EDWARD VIELE differed with Mr. Schultz and thought that the refuse ought not to be thrown into the river. The city of Paterson emptied its sewers into the Passaic, and the population of Jersey City had to drink this water. American cities were, as arule, far in advance of European cities in regard to sanitary matters and, partic- ularly, in regard to their respective systems of sewerage, Dr. Jaxvis, of Dorchester, Mass., desired to know what the sewers of Paris were for if they retained all er filth, instead of carrying away all bad smells Herc the discussion dropped, and General Fran- cis A. Walker, Superintendent United States Cen- sus. read a paper upon “Relations ot Raee and Na- tionality to Mortality in the United States.” The statistics in the census in regard to mortality were less satisiactory than otner enumerations. Ojten death broke up ao family, and fre- quently deaths occurred in hotels, boarding houses and other places where the family ties were very slight. About thirty per cent of the number of deaths in 1870 were omitted, for these reasons, from the mortality returns in the census, He showed on a diagram that the mortality amongst the irish was in excess of their share‘of the popu- lation. The mortality amongst the Germans was less than their share of the population, and the English and Welsh made even @ better showing. There were 163 deaths ina thousand from Bright's disease of the kidneys amongst the Irish as com- pared with 93 ina thousand among the Germans, Comparative statistics relative to all other diseases were also given by General Walker. The officers of the “old” society were re-elected, The old Executive Committee was also announced, Itis composed of Drs. Moreau Morris, J. J, Wood- ward, 8, A. Vanderpoel, J. M. Toner, A. N. Beil and Edward Jarvis, and the officers, who are er offcio members. The association then took a recess for baif an bour, At three o'clock business was resumed, and General Walker continued to illustrate, with the aid o1 his diagram and eral maps, the mortality statistics. The deaths jong children of an early age were much rarer among the foreign element than among tne native and colored population. In 1870 there Were only 260,000 persons under the age of ten who were born abroad in the United States, There was an excess of mortality among the foreign population of over ten years of Age of something like nineteen percent, Consumption was also very much in ex- cess among grown up persons of the foreign ele- ment, owing to the severity of the American climate. General Walker here exhibited charts showing the comparative frequency of consump- tion and other diseases in the various portions of the country. Dr. Leeds, of this city, read @ paper in connec- tion with the subject of sanitary principles of architecture. Warmth for the body, cold, Bats air jor the lungs and absence of draughts—this was the problem to be solved, Physicians ought to protest against the present methods of supplying artificially warm air to the homes of so many Americans. Dr. J. M. TONER read a report npon the “Natural History and Habits of Yellow Fever.” Diseases had generally their peculiar areas, and were lim- ited by certain topographical and other conditions, The conceded home of yellow fever was in the West Indies, but it had been chronicled as far as Qnebecr, It had penetrated but little Into the interior, however. Towns of small population were less likely to suffer from yellow fever than large cities, The first cases Were said always to occur near the water, Marshy lowlands were the regions in which the disease occurred most frequentiy. xtreme heat and dryness stopped the disease, and so did ox- cessive rams, Elevation could, in some laseeel rey save people from the fever, which had af — found in an altitude of over 600 feet emp - ‘was a little over 260 feet high, 4o%, yom S nace and Brooklyn 40 feet high, Dr. Toner exhinite Map showing the localities: affected by pai Ui 7 ee in “Non-Periodic Changes of Heat as an Elem: iP eatery Climatology.”’ "During many fone ne the cities of the South had been much cooler than New York or Philadelphia. In many instanece epidemics haa spread canis terms of ab heat. Mr. B t followed the various heric movements and changes known to ai q Tropteat neat and saturation subjected the large cities In the East to dangers unknown elsewhere. Had it not been for the energy of the Sanitary Commissions @ {rightiul ie might have terrible heated term last Dr. A. C. Hamurm gave his views on ‘‘Allmenta- tion Considered tm its Relations to the Progress and Prosperity of Nations.’ The ating Celt of fretand, he sas@, was ifferior to thé oat- meal-eating Celt of Scotland. Carl Vogt and other German scientists claimed thas a potato-cating nation must naturally deteriorate, because the potato did not restore the’ wasted tissues. The ordinary kind of wheat bread was com) almost entirely of starct, and was of com~ Paratively ttle value for the purposes Of alimentation, It containedalmost fifty per cent of water, and during the pro¢ess of fermentation, prior to baking, it lost over one-tenth of its feeble intrinsic value. 'Phis was the clef article of diet on which the children of the wealthier classes were ted. Meat obtained from animals lately driven from long distances ought never to ber eaten. America had unfortunately given to thet World both the potato and the tobacuo plant. 5 The association then adjourned till half-paat seven P, Newberry, after the conference had re- assembled, delivered a discourse upon the physical’ Seography of the United States, aided by a giganto map. ‘The Valley of the Mississippi was peculiarly fitted to become the home of a dense and wealthy Population. Probably no portion of the earth was richer than were parts of Nerth Carolina, The’ climate was especially salubrious. The agricul- tural population of the United States would) be centred in the Mississippi Valleys Not more than — one-tenth part of California was capable of cultivation, The mining: population would be distributed in the Mississippi Valley and in the far West. Dr. Newberry them paid @ glowing tribute to the Aztec nation, and: described most of tne tribes of savages in New Mexico and the adjacent Territories. Apaper upon the ‘“Kelations of Drinking Water to the Propagation of Typhoid Fever” was then. read by Dr. Austin Fiint, alter which the meeting. adjourned till this morning. MORE SUSPENSIONS IN PITTSBURG. The Banking House bf T. Mellon & Sons- and the Mechanics’ Savings Bank. Close Their Doors=The Causes of the Bailures. LS eaenaee SS Pitrssura, Pa., Nov, 12, 1873. There were rumors abroad yesterday affecting: the solidity of a number of banking institutions* in this city, and, as the result of such rumors,. there was this morning an unusual rush of de- positors, necessitating tn a very short time the clos- ing of doors. The first closed was the banking house” of T. Melion & Sons, on Smithfield street. Judge Mellon, Sr.,a member of the firm, was a heavy stockholder in the East Liberty Savings and De- posit Bank, which closed up yesterday. This failure naturally hada tendency to frighten the depositors cf T, Mellon & Sons. The consequence was an unusually heavy demand from depositors yesterday. This morning the drain continued, and it soon became evident that the process could not be continued for any great length of time; so the suspension took plaoes Depositors in this institu- tion are not likely to lose a single farthing, as. private fortune of Judge Mellon is ample to cover alldemands, The second failure to-day was that of the Mechanics’ Savings Bank. There were Many rumors about this institution yesterday, and during the afternoon a large number of depositors ave hotice of their intention tu withdraw their Aeposits, and last evening it was found that the bank could not under the present stringency con- tinue business. To-day it suspended, like the others inthe same predicament, and finds ttseif with a lot of promissory notes and mortgages om hand upon which money is due; but no payments are being made, and under the circumstances nothing remains but to have the paper renewed and Wait for an opportunity to convert their col- laterals into money. At @ meeting of the stockholders of the East Liberty Savings and Deposit Bank the assets ana Habilities, as presented by the cashier, were as foNows :—Assets, $236,047 09; liabilities, $197,647 405 surplus, $38,309 69. lt was agreed to levy an as- sessment of twenty-five per cent on the stock and distribute this with the cash on hand at present among the depositors. The failures of the past few days were in the most part caused by the sus- pension of the branches through Western Pennsyl- vania of Lloyd, Hamilton & Co. The country people got frightened and drew out of the institutions im this city their entire deposits. Those banks that suspended were not classed in the first rank of sound money depositories, Died.
