We call attention to the statement of the
E.na Life Insurance Company-a company
that is stable and secure, above the suspicion
Of pnsoundness, represented in this city by
the veteran and well known Insurance Agent,

ton of our readers to the fact that the assets
Of the company on the frst day of January,
1873, were sls,o7., $40 GO, they will have an
idea of the solid basis of figures upon which
the expectations and hopes of the insured
rest. It is one of the best companies before
the public, and is entitled to and receives q
liberal share of the public patronage.

Gardiner Items

Martha j. Irask was found guilty in Police
court the other day, for stealing an Astrachan
muf, the property of NJ. Augusta Ware. She
brought the muf to the store of Joseph An.
thony in Augu sta, for repairs, where it was
found and claimed by the owner.
An interesting event occurred in Gardiner,
Tuesday. evening, says the Reporter, in the
marriage of the eldest daughter Of Capt.
Arthur Berry, Miss Fannie Berry, to Capt.
John c. Hawthorne, also of that city. The
young bride received several handsome pres
ents, among which we're two silver tea SER
vices, from her relatives and friends on the
occasion.

year Of its existence with flattering prospects
Tor the future. We are glad to know that our

am glad you have cal lied public attention
to the loose and inefficient manner in which
the railroad crossings in the streets of this
city are guarded. It is subject have
watched for many years with much solicitude,
especially the crossing at the foot Of Rines'
Hill, Water St., where am more in the hab !.

1 have often noticed the same neglect at the
Bridge st. crossing. / have many times with
in the past six months had occasion to know
something about this Rines Hill crossing, and
have often seen trains passing south, at a
good rate of speed, within ten rods Of the
crossing, the flag man being at the same time
more than that distance from the crossing.
On other instances I have seen teams de-
seending the hill and approach to within a
very few feet OF the track, when the engine
and the flag would make their appearance at
about the same time, and both would gener-
ally compel the train to "haul up" The in
stance mentioned by you as occurring on Sat-
urday afternoon at the Bridge street crossing,
also shows the neglect on the part of the prop
er person to give timely warning of the ap-
preaching train at their point. Railroads
get careless about these little details which
are so essential for the safety of those who
do not travel by rail, but who nevertheless
demand protection from railroad companies,
and 1t is better to call their attention to this
neglect Of duty on the part of their employees,
as a means OF remedying the same, rather
than wait until some one gets killed-wheu

If being carried through at Washington this
season. But there is one measure now be-
fore Congress that the car manufacturers in
Maine and elsewhere are interested to have
defeated. 1t was almost too plausible or ap-
parently Insignificant to attract attention and
provoke discussion. Such was the resurrec-
ton ty the Senate on Tuesday of the Atwood
car.wheel patent. which expired in 1868. This
is a patent on the idea of casting car wheels
with two plates or disks instead Of one, and
before it expired, FIVE years age, had richly
repaid its owners. while the public had fairly
earned the right to have it free henceforth.
The railroad people and car wheel makers
have discovered this attempt to put them un-
der contribution again. and are warning the
representatives against concurrence.

The Pennsylvania Anthracite Board OF
Trade Offer the Men . Compromise TO
Recomme OperatiOns-,he suspen-
sion Not Expected to BE OF Long Dura-
ton.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 3, 1873.
The Anthracite Board OF Trade have offered q
compromise proposition for basis for the season
in the Schuykil coal region. The basis Is the
same as last year, except that it slides down far
as 81 rs per ton as O minimum, thus making 1t
better for miners and laborers. John Siney, Pres-
dent OF the Miners and Laborers' Benevolent Asso
citation, has presented this proposition. An Official
announcement has been made for a suspension,
and 1t will continue until the basis is decided.
There Is every indication that the compromise will
be accepted and operations renewed at an early
date.
John Parker, q former President OF the Miners
and Laborers' Benevolent Association who fully
understands the disposition OF the miners, is very
confident the stoppage will not last longer than a
few weeks, that time being necessary for making
repairs to colerles. The miners generally want to
work, as the Winter has been severe upon them
and their means from the last pay day about run
out. The action Of the association that controls
them has to be awaited before they can stir.
There Is more idleness In the MahanOy and Ash
land districts than elsewhere, but even in those
places some mines are In operation, the operators
paying the basis wanted. Large quantities OF coal
are being shipped from the Leligh regions, and the
stock In this city Is larger than at the same period

On Saturday, December I, at the age OF nfty-two,
died Mr.. Alfred Rankey, painter Of a considera-
BILE number OF popular pictures, distinguished by
unusual healthiness OF thought aud honesty of exc
cution. Mr.. Rankley was well known as a contribu-
tor to the Royal Academy Exhibition. ''The Phari-
see and the Publican" appeared in 1855, and was
well received. He had, however been before the
public at q much earlier date. scene from "Mac-
beth" was shown in 1s41, and "Othello Lamenting
over the Corpse OF Desdemona,r In 1s44; then came
the "Day OF Shame" an Illustration OF Crabbe, in
ls45; "Paul and virginia. in 1s46 "The Village
Church. " in 1s47-a picture which was engraved.
and was well rcccived; "The Ruined Spendthrjft,,

1854; ''The village SCHOOL, and 'From the Cradle
to the Grave,r In 1855; 1.-THE Lonely HEARTH and
sThe DANES Absence In 1855. The best picture
was "Fetchng the Doctor" scene IN gypsy en-
campment. The titles OF these works show that
they were rather sentimental, but they were not
wholly so. Besides, Mr.. Rankley was not content to
paint pictures In the manner which was easiest TO
himself but strove TO do his best, and In one or
two instances met with deserved success. "rho
Return OF the Prodgal," 1858, IA Sewer Went
Forth to Sow" 1858, were proofs OF this. The last
picture he exhibited was "Follow My Leader"

PHILADELPHIA GAMBLING HELLs.

General Turnout OF the Thicving
Policy Dealers and Gamblers OF the
Quaker City Under Conte platiOn.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3, 1878.
Mayor Stokely continues to push the police regu-
laton against the gamblers and policy dealers. The
police, in compliance with the recent regulation,
have already reported the location Of numerous
gambling houses and The names OF the proprietors.
Many new policy shops have also been discovered.
The difficulty In this matter between the Mayor
and District Attorney Mann still creates discussion
in political circles The better class OF politicians and
citizens commend the action Of the Mayor highly. The
amount OF swindling perpetrated by the gamblers
and policy dealers upon unsophisticated strangers
has recently been very large, and an abatement Is
certainly desirable. The gambling and policy
party not only controlled the action OF Attorney
Mann, but, by more recent Investigations, 1t has
been elected that some OF the Counclmen have
been bribed by those Interested.
Mayor St0kcly Is actively engaged In unearth-
ing many criminal acts that have heretofore been
allowed to pass unnoticed by the city authorities.
The new Board OF City Councils have been organ
lied. The Select Branch consists Of twenty three
republicans and six democrats. The Common
Branch stands nlty-nve republicans to twelve
democrats. The majority OF the members are
