Oranges in this State, is going the

contradicted by Mr.. Thompson of New

nor any one else can organize Oranges
in the State without first commitment

STOCK GAMBLING.

Charles 7. Carlton, son of Rev. DR..
Carlton, of this city, does not seem to
be wanted very badly by the Union
Trust Company. The Directors, per-
haps, have encouraged him to gamble
in stocks, which in the recent panic
went down from par to the thirties, or
Whereabouts, and for this reason, if
no other, they are not remarkably anx-
ious for his temperance. Mr.. Carlton
speculated with the company's money,
and owing to the recent panic, failed.
Had no panic occurred, he would have
realized largely, and no trouble would
have occurred to him. He received a
salary of ten thousand dollars o year,
and independent of this, enjoyed an in
come of twenty-five thousand addition
al. He is reported to be worth some
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and he certainly had nothing to gain by
the alleged defalcation.

PHILADELPHIAs MASONIC TEMPLE.

In the new Masonic temple, on the
corner Of Broad and Filbert streets.
which is just finished, is one of the
largest assembly rooms in the world,
and one of the finest specimens of ar
chitectural art in the country. The
cost of the structure is one million three
hundred thousand dollars, and it has
been nearly five years in building. 1t
is built entirely of granite outside, with
brick backing, walls and arches, which
are very thick and substantial. The
front is of finely dressed Quincy gran.
lite 4; the Filbert street front is of Rich
mond granite, and runs to Juniper st.
The Juniper and Cuthbert street
fronts are of granite, the latter rough
dressed, but quite imposing in appear
ance. The building is three lofty stories
and basement in hight. The main
entrance on Broad street is modelled
after the doorway of st. Marks church
in Venice, with the exception of the
figures, which are symbols of the order.
The Norman and Gothic styles of archi
lecture prevail on the first and second
floors, and Corinthian throughout the
rest of the edifce. The meeting room
of the Grand lodge is the representative
apartment of the Temple, and the largest
one in it.
The library room is situated on the
second floor, and is intended for use as
well as ornament, and will be the repo-
STORY of complete Masonic library, if
the plans of the grand lodge can be sue
cessfully carried out.
From an octagonal vestibule at the
western end the visitor enters through
massive doors, artistically constructed
OF walnut, with cedar sinkings and rails
ed panels, made of notified walnut i'm
ported from France. The work is high
ly polished, and these panels present
the appearance of marble. The furni.
ture of the hall is of walnut and cedar,
covered with blue plush. Everywhere
Masonic emblems meet the eye, carved
in wood or stone, or shining from stain
ed glass windows and handsomely cut
globes. The next larger room is the
Grand Chapter hall, then follow the
Egyptian hall, the Ionic, the Normal,
the Oriental, and numerous other halls,
for lodge meetings.
During 1872 about three hundred and
sixty-five dollars were expended for
Masonic works of charity. 1t is the liz
tention to keep the newspapers of PhiIa-
delphia and other cities, and also all
Masonic periodical publications on file.
The building will be dedicated by the
officers of the Grand Lodge of Pennsyl-
vania tomorrow at noon, when a grand
procession of all the Lodges in the city
will take place.

HOW THE RAILROADS ARE AFFECTED

HOW THE RAILROADS ARE AFFECTED
How will the financial crash affect the
completion of roads now building, is the
question discussed among railroad Off
Gals. The wealthy corporations pro-
fess to see no effect upon their finances,
either now or in the future. The New
York Central railroad is putting down
two side tracks from Albany to Buffalo.
The secretary of the company says that
their completion will not be retarded in
the least by any disaster that may fall
upon other roads.
The engineers of the New York and
Erie railroad are surveying several
routes from Jersey City to Port Jervis
in the hope of finding a straighter line
than the present winding route. Secre-
tary Barber says that the work has not
yet been carried far enough to warrant
any measures to discontinue it. The
company has taken no action in that di-
rection. Chief Engineer Chalute says
it is doubtful whether the new line will
ever be constructed, as the region
through which it must pass is noun
famous.
A new line from Elizabeth to Perth
Amboy, has been begun by the Central
railroad of New Jersey. Secretary
Knox says that its completion must be
retarded by the general stringency OF
the money market. All operations re-
quiring money, he added, must be slow
ed down. The construction of the road
is going on but it must soon be affect
ed by the panic.
The opinion expressed in railroad cir.
cles is that the future will bring stagna.
ton in constructing roads. Construc-
ton has been overdone and the panic is
the reaction. Young companies must
stop operations.

in Charleston but when we discovered
| that we were to be removed to Column
bia some of us resolved to make the at
tempt, even if by SO doing, we lost our
lives.
1t was in the month of October that
our second transportation occurred, and
the gloomy days were in conformity
with the sufferings the pale sun must
have frowned upon. Nature seemed to
offer us her heartful sympathy though
powerless to give what we longed for
freedom.
The same weary march to the cars
the same process Of putting ten men in
space scarcely enough for three-and
the same prospect to look forward to.
What a motley, half starved, unkempt,
seantily clad company we were. And
how detected, yet eager Downcast
were those who were too weak and ill
to strike for liberty and the old flag
but wildly alert were the few possessing
energy and strength sufficient to make
final attempt.
1t was after slowly crossing IL small
river, that three OF us dropped from the
train and made for the woods and
swamps. We were fired upon and
chased for short distance, but three
Yankees were of not much Importance,
in the estimation of the rebels, and
doubtless, our guards were too positive
that we would soon be recaptured to
care to waste time in doing duty which
could as readily be left for some one
else to attend to. Indeed, 50 often had
they assured us that we would certainly
swing" that verify believe they con-
sidered the question settled beyond dis
pute. For forty eight days we wander
ed through "bwland and moor" some
times hiding for days together, fearing
to trust ourselves to the light. Many a
night did we spend on the mountains,
upon the frozen ground, our only cov-
ering, in addition to our ragged, scanty
clothing, being four or five inches of
snow. But in almost seven weeks from
the time We escaped in the train. after
passing through every imaginable dam
ger and hardship, we stood under the
shelter OF our glorious banner, safe I'M
der the protection of our own troops.

THE BANKS IN THE CRISIS.

One OF the results of the financial
storm whose mutterings are just dying
out is its demonstration of the strength
of the national banking system. It is
true that some few institutions, not
more than three or four, were found to
have played false to the interests of the
legitimate business community by secret
connections with rotten railroad enter
prises and corporations, and they were
consequently compe lied to close their
doors, but it is remarkable that the gen.
eral management of the banks should
have been proved to be so sound and
conservative. They broke the back Of
the panic by their resolution to stand
by each other, and by so doing they
prevented the sacrifice of their millions
of assets which, in case of continu-
ance OF the demora lization, might have
been forced upon the market OF 1.-THE
of their real value. The community
turned to them in the emergency and
found its reliance upon them well
placed. The mistaken confidence of
the public in them probably contribut-
ed more than anything else to the calm
ness of the Legitimate commercial in
terests during the last few days. They
were a defence against the encroach-
ments of the stock gambling fever upon
regular business. and they preserved
the latter in a healthy and normal con-
dition. The true test of any fiscal sys
TEN must be in its ability to withstand
such strain, and the national banks
have justified the wisdom of the regu-
lations under which they operate.
Outside of New York but one Of them
was disturbed, and even amid the worst
of the distress there it only needed their
combination to begin the restoration of
quiet and the return of calmness.
While they are so directly under the
eye and the hand of the Treasury De-
partment it is almost impossible for any
considerable number of them to go
wrong. 1t overhauls their accounts,
keeps them up to the requirements of the
law. holds an unimpeachable guaranty
for their circulation, enforces warrant
for their deposits and takes charge of
and settles up any one which may be-
come insolvent. If we had a private
banking system at the present time, it
isdoubtful whether the trouble could
have been stayed when it was. The
vigorous assaults which have been made
upon the national banks sound very
weak and foolish in the face of the in
valuable services which they have just
rendered, and these services are so uni
versally appreciated that the enemies OF
the system might as well hold their
peace.

The grand jury of the neighboring
county of Middlesex returned into court
yesterday morning with eighty eight in
dictments, which the Times characteris-
es as large number. 1t certainly is,
and future grand juries of Union county
will have to look well to their laurels.
This is by far the largest number of in
dictments ever found in old Middlesex,
and the statement is made in the New
Brunswick papers, which of course will
not be contradicted, that the greater
part of the cases is for violati on of the
Sunday liquor law.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE AND KILLS HIMSELF.

In Philadelphia, yesterday morning,
Thomas B. Parker shot his wife, and
then shot himself, dying instantly. The
wife's wound is very serious, the ball
entering near the right eye. Mr.. Par
ker was formerly member of Il large
iron establishment near Morristown, in
this state, and recently retired, having
acquired large fortune. He was of a
very jealous disposition, and to this is
assigned the tragedy. He and his wife
moved in 'high social circles, and lived
in an elegant villa at Kinsessing, in the
suburbs. Mr.. Parker was enjoying a
yearly income of 100000. He was a
son of the late Isaac Brown Parker,
who left an estate worth fully three mil
lions, to be divided among son and
three daughters. This estate comprises
some of the most valuable property in
the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Parker had
been married twelve years, and leave
only one child, boy.

He was young man of remarkably
good habits spent his leisure time with
his family, and never dissipated. He
bought stocks on Wall street, and SO
long as he ventured lightly, he was safe,
but when he purchased fifteen hundred
shares of the Western Union at eighty
eight dollars, and they next day fell to
thirty, of course the sacrifice was great.
As we understand it, Mr.. Carlton has
property and stocks ample enough to
meet all losses which he has caused to
the company. We believe he will come
out of this trouble unframed, but he will
have learned terrible lesson-one that
he will be likely to heed in the future
There are hundreds of others who will
also do well to pause in their mad
career-the chasm yawns before them.
Their only safety lies in an immediate
discontinuance of all kinds of gambling.

The Barron Steel Process for converting
articles of cast iron into steel is now being
used extensively both in Europe and the
United States for the preparation of tools.
The cast iron tools to be converted in
to steel are first placed in revolving
drums, and the rough surface which the
castings present as they leave the mole, mold
are then packed in layers in iron boxes.
closely covered with clay, and subjected
to the action of oxide of iron or of
some other decarbonizing agent. After
being annealed in these boxes for q per-
iod OF from three to six days, the tools are
brought into the state of malleable iron,
and it only remains to convert them into
steel. This conversion is effected by ex-
posing them in large retort in the centre
Of an oven to the action of certain gaseous
compounds of carbon. BY this means
about ton of iron tools in the retort may
be converted into steel in from eight tt
ten minutes.
