10 THE PHILADELPHIA MAYORALTY. MeClure’s Acceptance cf the Proffered Nomina- tion as the Constitutional Candidate~ His Bpeech—The True Issue Before the People— ‘The Duties of Hospitality in 1876— The House To Be Set in Order. PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 1, 1874, ntation to Colonel McClure last yiecae of ike nomination ef the independent faction for the mayoralty of the city of Phila- @elphia he made a brilliant and emphatic speech, it he reviewed the history of the faults in the municipal government, expesed the frauds of the eid system, charged whe crime and disorder under it to those to whom it was due and stated with judgment, discrimination and clearness the true fasues before the people. His address was quite Jong, and is highly praised for its force and eloquence. After the fine introduction which he made, he said :— ‘THE ISSUB PRESENTED, ‘The issue in this election presented is so piain that he who runs may read. The men who assailed the new constitution with bitterness and blas- phemed it boldly, and fei in the struggie by an overwhelming vote, now reappear before the tri- Dunal of the people and ask tnat tuey shall be charged with the introduction and enforcement of the reforms declared for on the 16tu of December. ‘The citizens who battled for reform and gave it & deeisive victory over these officeholders are now asked to stultiiy themselves and say that the men ‘whose abuse Of power made constitutional re- | Straints a supreme necessity are the proper men ‘Wo apply the safeguards the people demanded and obtained. It is AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF PHILADELPHIA ‘to assume that tier citizens, ina mercurial freak, ave 34,000 majority jor the new constitution in De- ember, and in sixty days will, by abother freak, Bpologize wo the rulers they condemned, and sub- mat the city and the new constitation to their ad- Ministration. The action of the people logically and imperatively foroids it. By the provisions of the new constitution the people of Philadelphia ave resumed their immediate authority over their own affairs. One of the reforms most @esired was to strip the Legislature of ail control of our city, by special enactment, and it has been done. The legisiative power ever our highways, our revenues, our expendi- tures, our public improvements and over all ques- tions affecting the prosperity of the city is now irrevocably conterred upou the City Councils and the Mayor. Ll they ure taithi incompetent or corrupt there is no relief by an appeal to the Leg- Qslature. As the people coustitute their muni- cipal government now it must remain, without re- straint or reversal, until the terms of officiais expire. Itis, therefore, tllogical to declare that the people o1 Philadelphia deteated their present Officials in the adoption of the new constitution, merely to give them back enlarged powers to op- press and degrade our municipality. THE PEOPLE RULE, The people of Philadelphia now have their own government entirely im their own hands, The re- sponsibility is pointedly lodged where it properly belongs, and i! the legislative and executive au- thorivies are abused it will be because citizens are Unfaithful to their immediate and most important interests. Men of Philadelphia, iook out over your city at the candidates presented as the representa- tive men of the present rule, to whose hands you are asked to commit your government when it 13 about to prepare to welcome the nations of the | earth to your midst, and answer to your con- er whether you can give this rule your sanc- on. ROTTENNESS OF THE OLD SYSTEM. ‘This is the issue to ve decided in this contest, and ‘mot whether Mr. Stokley or Mr. McClure siall be tue Mayor, or whether other particular individuals are to il other particular offices. I doubt not that all the men on either city ticket would be faithiul to the public interests ii they owed their succe 8 soiely to the approving judgment of the people of Philadeiph.a, and were free from all the exactions Of those wlio use power to barter power to others; but no official created by this system can be just to the community and biameless in his oitice while it is master of the people. As long as it remains supreme in our midst no suc- cessful assault upon its picket line will accom- Plish substantial goog. It is idie to investigate ‘@ treasurer’s accounts, or to prove that contractors @efraud the city, or to demonstrate to a mathe- matical certainty that elections are poliuted, while | the system remains untouched, and las power enough to protect those who commit crime in its interest, DUTIES OF HOSPITALITY. Citizens of Philadelphia, great auties press F ug. Weare the people charged with the pre- sentation of the beneficence of free institutions to the nations of the world in 1876. It proffers us the highest honors ever proposed to any community in the history of any country. It must be an epoch of crowning, exceptional grandeur, or it must be a consuming shame. From the governments of Europe, from the isies of the sea and trom the lands @1 the pagans, will come the peoples of the earth to witness the triumphs of self-government. Our house must be in order for their coming. Our gov- ernment must be something more than a political system, with no higher purpose than the selfish in- terests of its supporters. We must turn to the mighty Commonwealth that is behind us, and ther.from her treasures the jewels of jreeaom. wealth of her mines, of her fields, of her forests; the triumphs of an educated and ihe pao industry; the fruitton of our schools and colleges and churches, and ali the countiess blessings of a liberal Christian civilization, created by the free- dom o/ culture, of religion and of every cnannel of a@dvancement must be woven in the rich chaplet With which the Great Republic is to be wreathed, Ana this, tne cradie of our liberty, must present THE MONUMENT OF FREE GOVERNMENT, ‘Without stain upon its column or blister upon its crown. Our highways must challenge the acmira- tion of the subjects of the monarchies we have shown to be neediess. Our public improvements must be imposing tributes to our thrilt end prog- Yess, and our Park must be the fountain oi excel- Jence irom Which grateful memories will reach the remotest corners of the world. If Philadelpma can best acmeve these triumphs by the mainten- ance of the political system | have assailed, it should be given a decisive victory in this struggie, and I should be deieated. The issues rise far above any man or set of men, and aji | ask of my fellow citizens is that they shall be just to them- selves, to their great city and to the high destiny that is in their keeping. HAMILTON'S CRIME. The Fall Extent of the Defalcation Not Yet Discovered—The Case in the Grand Jary Room. When it was stated in the HERALD a few days ago that the story of Hamilton’s frauds was only half told and that the defaication mounted up toat least $75,000, the victimized taxpayers of Jersey City could hardly believe the assertion. They will find out, however, before the investigation of the absconding Treasurer’s accounts is completed that his pecuiations will not fall short of $100,000. The Suspicions regarding his tapping the public treas- ury, While acting as assistant to Collector Love, are so strong that an investigation of the Collector's accounts must be made betore the full extent of the robbery can be real | ized. in addition to the $50,000 in bonds abstracted by Hamilton there is a deliciency of $27,000 or thereabouts, in cash, in the Coilector’s oMce. The difficulty of fixing the exact amount must be apparent to everybody. During the Col- Jector’s absence at meals, for instance, Hamilton Teceived taxes and receipted tue bills; but how much of the money received by him dia he deposit im the treasury’ The only satisfactory mode of testing this would be a comparison of the tax-bills mow in the hands or property owners with the entries on the books. Taxpayers who have not fied their bilis may find themselves compelled to @ second time. Then comes the assessment account, in which there may be 4 serious defaica- tion. The Grand Jury will resume the consideration of the case to-day. Mayor O'Neill and the members of the Board of Finance have been examined. The Board have ordered an exammation of ali the ponds of city officials, and those found to be cor- Fect will be deposited in the Hudson County Bank, beyond. the reach of ary such accommodating crerk as Mr. See. District Attorney Garretson is collecting evidence in the ease, but the only clew the police have obtained 38 that Hamilton con- fided the secret of his intended departure to a few rsons in Jersey City, and one of these persons is nown to the police, The finding of the skeiecon re ie the sate is the worst sesture tn Becuiiton’s » There any of the miss- fog Donde 7° & 20 trace as yet of uny ALLEGED MALEPRACTICE, On Saturday evening one of the Coroners was €alted to the German Hospital, Seventy-seventh street and Fourth avenue, to tage the ante-mor- tem statement of Louisa Weller, aderman woman twenty-four years of age, who, it is-alleged, is suf- tering from crimunal maiepractice.

PORK POISONING. pe Alarming Consequences from the Intro- duction of Trichinz: Spiralis Into the Human Stomach—Several Persons Brought to the Point of Death—Mi- eroseopic Examination of the Discased Meat—Great Excitement Among a Ger~ man Population, Crncrnnatt, Ohio, Feb. 1, 1874, Professor William Ciendinin, who fills the chair of anatomy in the Miami Medical College of this jscity, returned to-day trom a professional visit to | | | | | Aurora, Indiana, twenty-six miles below this city, on the Ohio River. ‘The object of his visit was the investigation of several cases of trichinw spirals, of recent occurrence in that place, The first viettms are Mrs. Threnart, a German widow, and her three chucren, two boys, aged fourteen and seven years, and a girl aged ten years. Dr. Clendenin was interviewea by your special reporter, and furnished the facts which follow :— HISTORY OF THE CASE. It appears that Mrs. Threnart had two hogs kKillec for home consumption about four weeks ago, one of which had been sick, after ranning the streets &@ month or so before killing. ‘The animal had what is called the “droop.” It was stiff in the limbs, and 108t appe- tite, but after dosing with sulphur and sweet milk it recovered and fattened up, A quantity of sausage was made with the meat, and of this Mrs. Threnart and her children partook Ireely. On last Monday it was prepared and cooked in the usual way. On Tuesday last the parties took sick, complained of a withering pain in tne bowels, of being very tired and sore all over the surface of the body. Vomiting and diarrhea set in, and the family physician was called, He thought the symptoms were those of typhoid fever, and treated accordingly. The ilk ness ofthe mother and her children excited the sympathy of her neighbors, and they took it in turn to nurse them. Mrs, Buyter, wife of the Methodist minister, with her two children, the youngest only sour years old, was the first nurse, and devoted her- self exclusively to the Christian duty. She took up her abode in the sick house, and, when meal time came, prepared and ate some of the sausage, together with the youngest chiid. The other child would not touch it, SICKENED. On the next day, Thursday, Mrs. Buyter and her child were seized in the same manner as the vic- tims she came to nurse, and still no suspicion was aroused as to the cause, The same evening Miss Davis, aged nineteen, and Miss Mollenhof, aged twenty, two charming young Women, came to nurse the sick, and at supper partook of the sausage and some of the | fried meat. They were seized with pains in the stomach and bowels in an hour and were deathly sick, An old woman prescribed hot whiskey punch and made them drink freely, which creased the vomiting, and they are now con- valescing. A lad named Krieger, who brought kindling wood | to Mrs. Threapart’s house, had supper and is also down with the same sickness, Finally a Mrs. Ross came and ate of the meat and soon after took sick In the same manner as all the others; but she at once suspected the meat as the cause and said so to the physician. MEDICAL ADVICE. He called in Dr, Sutton, of the Health Depart- ment, and a scientific analysis of the sausage, cooked and raw, was made, upon which the star- tling fact was revealed that the meat was literally alive with the TRICHINA SPIRALIS, So tenacious is this little thing of life that it was seen to survive the pickling process and the cook- ing of the meat. ‘The entire carcass of the hog that bad been sick is infected; not even the bones being free from the invasion of the entozoon. Under the microscope it looks like knots and coils of the common earth worm, with very sharp or pointed — extremities, While this is being written a speck of the flesh, not larger than the head of a small pin, is on view, and contains millions of the maggots wriggling and twisting about, although totally invisible to the naked eye. CONVALESCING, When Dr. Clendenin Jett Aurora last night all the patients, except the two young ladies, were still lying very ill. THE SYMPTOMS were alike in all. A peculiar paleness of the skin, with @ livid puffiness around the eyes, and the lower extremities puffed and swollen. They lie crouched up in bed, with the shoulders drawn for- ward and the knees drawn “4 to the chin. There is &@ painful weakness in the limbs, It is painsul to pro- trude the furred and thickened tongue. Tne voice is husky and changed in tone. There is diarrnea, with a tendency to dysentery, thirst, complete loss Of appetite, and a fever wuich increases towards nigut. DIAGNOSIS OF RESULTS, The oldest boy and the gfrl of Mrs. Threnart, and Mrs. Buyter, the minister’s wife, who is a tine, | healthy woman, will undoubtedly die; but some hopes are entertained that ali the other victims will survive. The adair has created THE GREATEST ALARM and consternation in the community of Aurora, Where there 18 a large German population, which lives on pork and other meat of the hog kind. A crowd of them invaded Dr. Fulton's room at the hotel last evening with pieces of pork Sausage and ham to have them examined for fear of trichine, and public confi- dence has been so much shaken in pork, as an arti- cle of 1000, that the commodity ts tabooed and it is now a drug in the Aurora market. THE MASKED RAILROAD ROBBERS, Sr. Lovts, Mo., Feb. 1, 1874, Further particulars of the train robbery at Gads- hill last evening are to the effect that the robbers’ real purpose in stopping tne train was to rob Mr. Staunchfield, Secretary of the Clearwater Lumber Company, whom they expected to be on the train with $5,000; but he was not aboard. After the robbers had seized Conductor Alford and the other train men and placed them under guard one of the gang passed along the line of the train, flour- ishing pistols, and commanded the passengers to keep quiet or they would kili the conductor and engineer. Part of the band then robbed express and mail cars taking only the money. They afterwards plundered the passengers. were only twelve male passengers, five ladies and several children on the train. The total amount of money obtained, including $1,080 trom the express car, was $2,344. They took ouly gold watches from ' the _ passengers, and returned those of General Superintendent Morley, who was on the train, and Conductor Aiford, becanse they had their names engraved on them. The robbers also took $800 from a citizen of Gadshill, The thieves are unknown, but it is thought that a clew to their identity has been found. They were traced to Black River, six miles west of Gadshill, but the trail wa lost there. The Sherif of Wayne county is endea’ | oring to organize a posse of men at Piedmont to scour the country for the robbers. It is understood that the Post Office Department and Adams press Company Will take active and vigorous m ures to capture them, SAPE ROBBERY IN ST, LOUIS, Sr. Lovts, Mo., Feb. 1, 1874. W. W.

PRINTERS’ STRIKE AT INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANAPOLIS, Feb, 1, 1874. The Typographical Union last September decided to raise the scale of prices from twelve to twenty- five per cent over war rates. This was done in spite of a protest (rom the publishers, but after the panic, was suspended, Last night they again voted the increase, which being refused by the publishers, all the printers in the Journal, Sentinel, News and Indianapolis Pubishing Company's offices struck to-day. ‘The papers wiil issue to-morrow as uanal, though in @reducea form.

William Keane, Catholic Bishop of the diocese of Cloyne, Ireland, died at his resi- dence on the 15th of January, in the sixty-ninth year of his age. His name and reputation are worldwide, particularly for Irishmen. He was born at Castlemartyr, Cork, on the 8th of April, 1805. After having passed some years in preparatory education near his home he became a student of the Irish College at Paris, There he went through the usual course of theological train- ing, and received sull orders on the 28th July, 1828. For pearly eleven years subsequent to his ordination he officiated as Dean and Vice President of the Irish College in Paris, and the fact of that establishment having been so intimately connected with hus ecclesiastical career always operated with him as one Of the stimulating mo- tives which incited him in after life toa constan- aud abiding interest in its affairs, Dr. Keane was sought out by bis superiors at home lor mis- sionary work, and accordingly he wa8, in 1839, trausierred from Paris to the curacy in Fer- moy. Alter a year having been spent in this Position he was proso’ to the parish of Mid- dleton, For ten years he was among the people of that town and parish as their chief pastor, and the memory of bis good acts survives among them with unimpaired strength. In that period the par- isi passed through the distress and vicissitudes of the famine years, and ail classes, parties and sects have remembered how he toiled among them. In 1850 the dioceses of Cloyne and Ross were sepa- rated, and by a marked vote of the clergy o! the new divcese Dr, Keane was placed dignissinus on the list, The choice of the clergy was ratified by the bishops of the province, and the nomination was confirmed by the Holy See, and Dr. Keane, at an age comparatively early for advancement to 80 high @ position, was ap- pointed the first Bishop of Ross under the new arrangement, In his administration of the spirit- ual affairs of Ross he fully vindicated the selection wuich had been made of him, and the occurrence | Of & vacancy in the see of Cloyne, in the year 1857, occasioned his transfer to that wider and more ex- tended field of episcopal labor, For seventeen years he ruled over the see of Cloyne. During that leugthened period he never spared him sell, In visitations, in opening schvols and convents, in conferences, in church ceremo- | pies and in journeyings to and iro for all | these purposes 18 life was almost absorbed. | His life was diversified by frequent journeys to Rome, to Paris, Brussels and Louvaine—all under- taken in the mterests of religion or education, Having been selected to act as theologian at the Synod of Thurles by his episcopal predecessor, the Right Rey. Dr. Murphy, the aptitude ne exhibited marked him out for a mission to Rome in 1853_as the bearer of the Provincial Synodal decrees. Dr. Keane paid a prolonged visit to Rome in | 187, obeying, in common with the bishops of the Cathohe world, the commands of the Supreme Pontiff to attend the great council of the Vatican. in the sittings of that famous Pariiament of the Church Dr, Keane maintained a conspicuous position, and a speech, which he de- livered in support of the doetrme of Papal inialli- | bility, won universal commendation for its thory | ough erudition and logical vigor. 1t will be reco- Jected that the sittings of the Council ran into the extreme heat of summer—a time when even the oldest and most acclimatized inhabitants of Kome fee irow it, in order to reap the sanitary advan- tageswf the annuai vilieggiatura—and to this cause muy be attributed the seeds of the malady which germinated in the untimely death of Dr. Keane. He eufiered in a terrible degree from the sufiocat- ing and malarious chmate of Rome at that par- ticular season, and when he returned from that city to Ireland in the autumn it was a sudject of general remark how he had deteriorated in physical strength. Soon after symptoms of mental decay set in, Which for a time were attributed to | some disease of the brain. A later and more ac- curate diagnosis detected the existence of heart disease, and it was then ascertained that the irregular and slow circulation which attends the form under which he sutfered was the cause of the head affection. Bishop Keane patronized every national Irish movement, belped it by his voice, his pen and his purse, fven within the walls of the British Par- liament bis voice penetrated, and the degree of experience, ablity, vigor and independence with Which before a hostile committee he argued the case of the irish tenant will not soon be lorgotten in Great Britain, Exposed jor hours to the frigid and supercilious dogmatism of Mr. Lowe, he main- tained his position against that adept in logical fence with all the courage derived iroai the pos: sion of a good cause and a projound knowledge of | its merits and details. ven almost from ms deathbed he dictated a remarkable diocesan decla- ration in iavor of home rule, and which suggested the recent Conterence in Dublin. While Dr. Keane Was in most cases in perfect accord with his laity on political subjects, he never, on the very rare occasions when he would differ from them, arro- gated to himself the right of dictation. Ramis Pacha, of the Turkish Artillery. Ramis Pacha (General Schwenzfeur) died just lately at Constantinople atan advanced age. The deceased, a Prussian by birth, was one of the earliest European artillery officers who went out to Constantinople with the present Field Marshal von Moltke, nearly forty years ago, to instruct the Turkish army, with which he has ever since been identified in bis own branch of the proiession. Esteemed alike by Turks and Christians, his tu. neral was an imposing ceremony. Monsignor Alouvry. The death, trom dropsy of the heart, is an- nosnced of Mgr.

Having com- AT SEA, To THE EpIToR OF THE HERALD:— Being in the habit of trequently crossing the Atlantic I naturally feel considerably interested in any question which affects the safety of the ships by which I travel; and among all the in- quiries into the causes of collision or accident there are two questions which I have never heard and which I think, irom my experience, ought to be about the first questions asked, viz. :—First, had the officer in charge had suficient rest to enable him to perform his duties with eficiency? Second, was he sufficiently sheltered from the weather to enable him to keep a good lookout and act with promptitude and decision in case of emergency? We shall take the first of these questions, and I think we shall arrive at the conclusion that insuf> ficient rest may be a very prolific source of danger. It isa pretty general role, as far as my experi- ence goes, that tue officers keep watch and watch. This sounds plausible enough—twelve hours on deck and tweive below; and, until | made particu- lar inquiries, [ felt quite satistied that this meant twelve hours’ work and twelve hours’ rest; but, upon inspection, this turns out to be 2 complete fallacy. To illustrate my meaning we will follow an officer round his duties for twenty-four hours, and see what actual time he can devote to sleep. We will suppose that he commences his duties at tweive o'clock noon, and remains on duty until four o'clock. He then comes below until six o’clock, this time being too short for sleeping. He is on deck again from six to eight o'clock; below from eight to twelve o'clock. Now, from eight to twelve o’clock of course is four hours, but it is quite half past eight o'clock before a man can get to bed, as he bas always some litte thing to do after leaving the deck, and he 1s calied at a quarter to twelve o’clock, thas having in this watch just three and quarter hours for sleep. He then goes on deck from tweive to four o'clock, leaves the deck at four until eight o’clock. In this watch he gets to bed at balf-past four o'clock, and is called at @ quarter past seven o'ciock to wash, dress and probably breakfast so as to be ready to relieve the deck at eight o'clock, thus having in his morning watch jnst two and three-quarter hours for sleep. On deck again from eight to twelve o'clock at noon, us comvleting the twenty-Jour hours, baying While yeta child Father Hamilton | and received the | Dad six hours unity Mr afeep, divided into two periods of about three hears ees while it may be wondered where he time to work his reckoning, &c., yet the lag is kept and all the other duttes go on with never failing regularity. Now, 1 way that this time is not enough to devote torest for men who while on deck (especially at night are ever on the alert. 1 have asked the opinion of several eminent medical men on this subject, and the amswer has been invariably the same—that the time 1s insuilicient, more 80 oD account of being divided into two periods. Having stated the grievance I think it only right that I should sogaees @ remedy, and in this case happily it is at haud without entailing any more expense to owners or interfering in any way with ‘he duties of tue ship. Nearly all our first class steamers on the Atlantic have some three, some four and others five officers on board, with masters’ certilicates, all fully competent to keep & watch, Why not divide the Watches into three? Or another way—if it be considered absolutely necessary to have the first and second officers divide the night py eig them, let them have pleaty of rest during the day. 1 am. well aware that this is the case in some of the newly started lmes, but wiy not adopted by all | cannot imagine. I am sure that passengers would j¢el themselves more safe having the assur- ance that the man in charge had had suflictent rest and was physically capable of performing his duties emcientiy. Secondly, and in my opinion of equal importance, is in many steamers the want of suillcient shelter from the weather afforded to the oiticers on the bridge, which, indeed, in some ships amounts to nothing at ail; and 1 feel sure it is utterly impos- sible ior any man under some circumstances to keep a sufiicient lookout for jour hours. If any one doubts this assertion let him for experiment go in a gale of wind to the end of a wharf or jetty or any other exposed situation and, facing the wind and rain and sleet, try to keep a steady, continuous lookout for four hours. 1 think at the end of this watch he would subscribe to my opinion that too good a shelter cannot be afforded to these men who go through this sort of thing constantly, and, in addition to the wind and hail, have the sea and spray, and last, but not least, the motion of the ship, Which compeis them at tines either to lash themselves to their post or hold on with fingers nearly frozen with cold for jour hours, 1am sorry to say that the ola established lincs are, as far a8 my experience goes, the worst fitted vessels in this respect, having nothing but a naked bridge with a rag of canvass in the middle of tt, where the officer in charge of all these lives and valuabie property holds on, trying to keep @ good lookout, exposed to. wind and hail and sea, bis natural energy actuatly beaten out of him, It issimply brutal. No man could expose an animalin this manner without making himself liable to prosecution for cruelty, But leaving these sufferings out of the question, ask, Is it safe, is it judicious to trust ali this life and property to @ man for the time physically in- capacitated from using his faculties to the best ad- vantage? We will suppose a case. A light is seen and re- ported to be seen by the officer in charge, and he, not being able to make out its color by the naked eye, takes his glasses out of their case to ascertain, and they (tie glasses) are immediately ren- dered useless by rain or salt water spray. What is to be done? Can any one tell me? Does this man put his helm hard-a-port or hara-a-starboard on a chance and trust to Provi- dence? I have oiten wondered and I have often asked, but never haa a satislactory answer. I think all passengers in these vessels will agree with me that too good a shelter cannot be atforded to these men. These vessels are sognlary surveyed, their capa- bilities and qualifications kept up to a certain mark, and! think that while the surveyors are looking at the ship tney ought also to inquire, How do you divide your watches at sea and what shelter is provided for the officers ? Hoping and trusting that these few lines, like bre: cast upon the waters, ney produce some good effect, [remain yours sincerely. PREVENTION. PROBABLE MURDER.
