The tellers of the election, somewhat unex-
pectedly, refused to receive the votes of the
rector and of his assistant DIR. Stuart though
they had both voted at former elections in that
parish, had been accustomed to do SO in other
parishes and showed that 1t was the general
custom for rectors so TO do. The votes were
first refused on the ground that no pew-rent
had been paid, but the money was Immediately
offered by those gentlemen for the whole time
that they had been connected with the church
This money the yestrymen declined to receive
The votes from the lady members were also
declined, In cases where they were married
ladies aud were unaccompanied by their hus-
bands.
The outside vote, from parties outside of the
church who were members, and some of whom
were officers OF other churches, were presented
and challenged by the rector's party, but were
received by the telers. When the polls were
closed it was found that 35 votes had been cast
of which 10 were in favor of the old vestry and
IL in favor of the new ticket, with the exception
of William A. Rolin, who received only 16
votes.
This result, though seemingly victory for
the yestrY party, is not by any means the end
OF the controversy. The election is so close
and the doubtful votes so numerous that the re-
suit VIII be Immediately contested on the
ground OF Illegal votes received aud of legal
ones refused. The count of the election, as fol-
lowed ND during its progress, did not corre-
spond with the official count by Que vote in
favor of the rectors side. This that party claim
as accounted for by one gentlemans vote having
been changed in his hand without his know
ledge, after he had received 1t and before he
voted it. II this be so, mean aud petty poliLi-
cal trick was resorted to- the ihadyisablity of
which In church matters Is patent TO every one.
FIRE IN HARRIsoE's WHITE LEAD Works.
fire at a quarter of o'clock this morning
broke out in the second story of one of the two

Lead Works, at Filter and Harrison streets,
The building contained much valuable machi-
merry and full stock of white lead in cans. The
entire second floor, including the roof, was dles-

Moyamensing Hose Company comes off at the
Academy of Music, and we have the promise,
which from past experience we know will be
fulfilled, that it will be the most magnificent

of last year, and have expended fortune In
securing new and novel attractions. A marked
improvement will be made in the arrangement
of the dancing floor, (WHICH" as the card ex-
plains, twill be extended, and the rear converted
into palatial garden scene, where feathered
songsters will warble their sweetest notes with
inward cheeringtfow,' and where green sward
will refresh the eye, and pearlng streams now
from, silver fountains. The music will be of the
nhainest % descr,nn,SS. The grand banquet will
be sumptuous, and altogether the festival will
be of unrivalled magnifcence.
The programmes are elegantly gotten up by
Mclaughlin & Brothers. They are in the shape
of tiny book, with satin covers, impressions in
gold leaf, and delicate tinted pages, bearing the
names of the various committees and the pro-
pramme of the ball.

ITY INTELLIG ENC E.
MURDERl

A New York Broker Robbed and MUIR
dered, ChlorOformcd, and Beaten with
Blackjacks.
On the Goth of March last there arrived in
Philadelphia Mr.. John M. Siegfried, money
and exchange broker of New York, whose resi-
dence was at Easton, Pa. He, in company with
relative, stopped at the Allegheny House, Ia
Market street. On Thursday, the 23d he left
the hotel in search of a friend, promising to re-
turn at o'clock in the evening. He did not
return, however, and his whereabouts we're not
ascertained until IL o'clock that night, when 1t
was found that he had been taken into the Con-
tinental Hotel by number of rough.lookiug
men. He was fearfully cut and beaten and was
scarcely able to speak, but 1t was gathered from
what he could utter that the men who brought
him to the hotel had beaten him with black
jacks.
He was unable to tell where he had been
stopping, and all that is known of him is that
he was seen at Eighth and Uhesnut streets the
day following Friday) J, in company with rough
looking man. 1t is supposed that this man took
Mr.. Siegfried to the North Pennsylvania depot,
and sent him to his home in Easton. Mr.. Siegfried
managed to reach his home, but he had no
sooner crossed the threshold than be fell to the
floor exhausted, and Immediately became un-
conscious. Upon examination by two physicians
it was ascertained that he had been terribly in
lured Nearly all his ribs on the left side were
fractured; the flesh in several places bore the
marks of boot-heels, as though he had been
jumped upon after having been knocked down,
His chest, side, and abdomen presented extern
elVe ecCnyInObls. Ills 1cII JaWOOHe was broken
and the bone Immediately under the left eye
forming the lower part of the socket, was also
fractured.
His injuries were so severe that his recovery
was considered very doubtful. The attending
physicians thought that had there been proper
attention promptly paid to him he would have
recovered. Everything was done at his home
that skill could devise, and every effort was
made to ascertain how, when, and where he had
received such rough treatment. He appeared
to sink very gradually, but at times made inco-
herent ordinations, such as ''they. tried to
chloroform me, but they couldn't;" then he
would say something about the walls being
.'besmeared with BLOOD" then referred to
''blackjacks." "how they beat him." but all he
said was very much confused. He fingered
until the first of the present month"; and then
expired.
On the 9th instant jury held an inquest in
the case, and returned the following verdict
THAT John NJ. Siegfried came to his DEATH at
Easton, Pa, on the 1st day of April, 1871, from
injuries inflicted upon his person by some per-
son or persons to this inquest unknown, in the
city of Philadelphia, on or about the night of
the 23d of March, 1871"
The deceased was an estimable gentleman
well known both in New York and Easton.
