CASE Dismissed.

against e. L. Stokes, charged with defrauding
the Brooklyn Refining Company of $4,000, ON
the ground that the company, though In the
form of a corporation, must be treated as a pri-
vate copartnership, and that under such view
of the case, the act of Stokes is not within the
terms of the statute relative to embezzlement.

FIRE AT THE FALLS.
Destruction of n Cotton and Woollen MILL
Loss. $4,000

About 6 o'clock this morning fire broke out
in the cotton and woollen yarn manufactory of
Daniel WOlfender, situated near the Falls of
Schuylki opposite School lane The alarm
was promptly given, but by the time the fremen
reached the scene the building was entirely en-
veloped in flames. The Manayunk Fire Com
pany was the nearest to the ground, yet that
organization did not reach the fire until long
after the alarm had been sounded. This was
accounted for by an accident. In the first place
the company had the use of only one horse, aud
being insufficient for the purpose they were
forced to borrow pair of mules to haul their
apparatus to the foreground.
Some of the roads in that section of the city
are in a very bad condition, and duriAg the
journey the mules gave out and were unable to
haul the machine. The company however,
succeeded in reaching the ground and went into
service The Germantown companies and some
of our city organizations in the northwestern
section of the city proper proceeded to the
scene, but their services were of little avail.
Water was drawn from the Wissahickon and
thrown upon the burning structure. The mill
was totally destroyed, nothing now remaining
but the walls of the structure.
The building was four stories high, 40 by 20
feet in size, and was constructed of stone. 1t
contained three sets of machinery on the second,
third, and fourtd floors The engine, boiler,
pcker-room, ETC., were on the first floor. The
flames originated over the boiler, and spread
with fearful rapidity. The fire illuminated the
country for miles around, and the belief was
general that Dobson's extensive mills were
burning. Such, however, was not the case.
The mill was situated on ground which the
Park Commissioners intend adding to Fair
mount Park, and negotiatont, it is said, were
on foot for the purchase of the property. The
structure was valued at $4,000, while the ma
chinery cost over $15, 900, thus making total
loss of $25 600.

DEATH OF PHILADELPHIA PAsToR.-We
regret TO notice the death of Rev. Griffith Owen,
ID. D.. which took place at Baltimore Md, on
Saturday last. DR.. Owen was a native of Bati-
more city, and was one of large family of bro
theirs, five of whom were Presbyterian minis
clergyman of the Diocese of Texas, who died
some two years ago. Another brother, General
Joshua Tower tOwen, of this city, is we'll known
as the brave leader of the Philadelphia Brigade
during the war of the Rebellion, and endeared
himself to his command by the soubriquet of
Fighting Paddy Owens" Griffith Owen built
up two large congregations of the Cohocksink
Presbyterian Church. in this city; one on CO.
lumbia avenue, opposite Franklin street, OF
which the Rev. 3. A. Mutchmore is the present
pastor; another, the South Presbyterian Church,
at the corner of Third and Red wood streets, of
which Rev. r. Nj. Patterson is the present in
cumbent. The latter church was commenced
by Mr.. Owen on basis of one dollar subscrip-
tions, and he raised $l7, 900 In this manner by
his HntiriDg energy and never-aagging zeal in
his Masters work The church edifce was Just
completed when q sudden tornado-like storm
swept over the southern part of the city and
levelled the hope of so many hours of toll into
the dust. Undismayed by this calamity, the
lion-hearted man went to work agaiu, aud
stinted himself in every manner. Soon his
uDwaVering energy met its just merits, and the
present fine church, thronged weekly with
worshippers, is q monument of what one man
with love of God in his heart, aud using his
mental and physical powers to advantage, can
DO. AT the tine of his death he was actively
employed as the Missionary Secretary of the
Maryland Sunday School Union at Baltimore
Rev. DIR. Roger Owen, of Chestnut Hill Presby-
terian Church, was also a brother of the
deceased The disease of which he died was
typhoid fever, contracted in his missionary
labors. He now rests from his labors, and his
works do follow him.

The Railroad strike-AImost.

About seven or eight months ago the wa
ges of the brakesmen on the Nashville 81
Chattanooga Railroad were reduced from
$500 to $1.75 per diem, and at the time Su-
perintendent Thomas promised to raise the
same to two dollars again as soon as the
probable increase of business justified the
same. A short while before the time for
freight train No. to leave, yesterday after
noon at O'Clock, the brakesmen met to-
gether and refused TO go out unless their
wages were increased to 500 per day. A
committee from the brakesmen waited on
Mr.. Thomas, to whom was made known the
reason of the proposed strike, asking that
their demand be allowed and that he should
comply with his promise made when
the wages were reduced. After some
discussion Mr.. Thomas, in a good hui
mored manner, treated their appeal, not
with contempt, but as joke, and consented
20 advance the wages to two dollars. I'm
mediately the men went to work, satisfied
that Mr.. Thomas had fulfilled his promise,
in this respect, in manner becoming
gentleman, and also had 'done the right
thing" for them. After half an hours de-
tention, the trains went our as usual, with
every man at his brake, not broken, how
ever, but feeling happy as big sun-fower.
We are glad to see such good feeling be-
tween employer and employee, which is ever
the basis for the harmony and advancement
of mutual interests.

A Perfect lam.

Such another jam as that which occurred
at DeCastro's matinee yesterday evening"
was never witnessed in Nashville. There
was not as much vacant space as an inch in
the spacious hall, and in some places they
were piled two and three deep. The stage
was even filed up with boys, hardly allow
ing enough room for the magician to per-
form his feats. Children were seated on
the stoves, others suspended to the ehanda-
liers, and a few occupied front seats in the
transom openings above the doors. 1t was
a scene really terrible to behold, and there
was no comfort, no order, nothing but con-
fusion and tumult. The Professor had to
bring his performance to close in a rather
sudden manner, and distributed gifts to the
thousand children in attendance. To give
some idea of the condition Of things, it
actually took upwards of two hours to get
the audience out of the hall after it had
been dismissed. We like crowds, but We
hope never again to see so much humanity
packed into such a compass.
