1t Is q somewhat singular coinci-
dence that DIR. Alfred Hitchcock
died at his residencein Fitchburg,
Mass. on Monday night of angina
pectoyis. with which disease he
was first attacked but little more
than a week ago. DIR. Hitchcock,
who was about sixty years of age,
was eminent as physician and 3
surgeon, and as such was greatly
esteemed and respected by medic
al men generally. He was one of
the committee OF physicians who
attended theautopsy Oh the body Of
Mr. Sumner, who died of the dis

and for several years one OF the

Heating Power or Weathed Gin
ders

The efforts at utilizing ciDders for
building purposes have not succeeded
very vol; and attemps to burn them
have also beon unsuccessful, on account
of the melting Stag which chokes the
draft in short time. According to
communication to the Westphalia En-
gineers' Associa by Chary, when
condensed air is passed over glowing
cinders in furnace, the carbonic oxide
formed affords fame several feet long,
suitable for heating boilers, &c, and the
experiments, as far as they go, indicate
heating power in the cinders from
which the larger pieces Of Stag have
simply been separated by hand) equal
to that of half their weight in csal. A
onvonient method separating the Stag
seems to be the great desideratum.
W ashing the cinders requires too much
room for drying, and even after that they
will retain considerable moisture. A
current of air, as employed in winnow-
ing grain, has been suggested

DEAD LOCK IN THE PENNsYL.
vANIA LEGISLATURE.
THE CENTENNIAL BILL IN DAN
GER.

HARRISBURG, April 8.-The
democratic members of the senate
and house held a caucus this fure-
noon, at which important action
was taken. 1t was agreed that the
democrats of both branches would
oppose the centennial approba-
ton bill and the bill for an in
crease of the debt of Philadelphia
until the republican majority in
the house agreed to pass a fair
apportionment bill for the city.
This action may endanger the
centennial bill, which needs only
to pass the house, having gone
through all the other preliminary
stages in both houses, but partiz-
an action of the democrats may
possibly have the effect of d
centennial party measure, in
which case there would be enough
republican votes in the house to
pass it without the aid of the
democrats.
