THE MARKETHOU8E WAR.

Mr.. ORDWAY PLAYS THE PART OF
BUTCHER.
1t would appear that the Centre Market
Company not only want to dictate terms to the
butchers and dealers in the Centre Market, but
when they discover that not q success, they
establish themselves in the meat business and
dispose of their stock regardless Of law or Ii
cense. After the company found themselves
defeated by the butchers, they sent parties to
Baltimore to purchase meat. This was brought
on here and placed on sale on Saturday last.
Securing the services Of a few butchers out Of
employment they donned the white apron
themselves, and for three hours were busIly
engaged in carving, weighing and serving those
customers of the market who found 1t too far
to the Northern Liberties. ..-... ---
1t must have been an attractive sight to the
frequenters Of the market to see Mr.. Ordwsy
in his long apron dashing round, taking out q
shin-bone or weighing out to some unsuspect-
ing customer pound of fresh jaw. He expects
during the present week to have enough deal
ers from Baltimore to transact the usual busi-
ness of the place. This bold action opens up q
new phase of the embrogio. By thus taking
stalls in their own building and dealing with
out license, 1t is claimed that they have both
violated their charter and subjected themselves
to the penalty Of the law. They claim, how
ever, that this is not so. The question will
doubtless be decided in the courts.

ILLNESS OF REV. L. G. MULLER.

The public will learn with regret of the seri-
Gus illness Of Rev. L. C. Muller, the esteemed
pastor of the Mount Zion NJ. E. church, cor
ner Fifteenth and R streets. During the past
three weeks his health has been seriously
threatened, and he has been obliged on several
occasions to transfer his public duties to 9TH
ers; owing to the condition of his throat. Dur
lug the past week the trouble eliminated In q
hemorThage, and by advice of his physician be
has been obliged to decline his church pastor
ate for a couple of months and devote his time
to an effort to regain his health.
1t will be remembered that he was appointed
to this charge last March, and brought to its
service much of the zeal and enthusiasm incl
dent to his youth. TAXING this too far in his
desire to render himself useful he engaged In q
protraeted meeting of several weeks duration,
during which he had little ministerial aid. II
is sad that thus early in his new Held of duty
and amid so hattering indications he should
have been thus robbed OF that vigOr so essential
to his vocation. The hope is INDUCED by his
intimate friends that rest and change Of atmos-
phere may work an entire cure.

soHENcK,s SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the effects Of de-
bilitsting diseases. In order to keep natural
healthful activity of the system, we must resort
TO artificial means. For this purpose Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic is very eHectual, A few doses
will create appetite and give fresh vigor TO the
enervatsd body. For.dYspepsla IL Is invaluable
Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose.
The Sea Weed Tonic IN It's nature is totally diff
ferent from such drugs, II contains no cor, siye
minerals or acidsi in fact, II assists the re- liar
operations of nature and supplies her defcienC es
The tonic In its nature so much resembles le
gastric juice that 1t Is almost identical with tt
fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in o healthy condition Of the body, causes
the food TO be digested and when this Juice iB not
eXcreted in sufficient quantities indigestion, with
all its distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea
Weed Tonic performs the duty Of the gastric

It was but natural that those remaining at
home and witnessing the terrible storm should
entertain fears for the safety of relatives and
friends, accompanying excursion parties down
the river, and as consequence there was CON
siderable worriment of mind until their return.
II was thought that fully three thousand per-
sons had gone on these pleasure trips, and as
only few had returned twas natural there
should be misgiYings for the safety Of the rest.
The steamers, however, came up in good sea-

The Arrow was the last to arrive, and as the
passengers came of each one turned to Capt.
HoIllngshead, who stood at the gang plank,
and complimented him on the manner In which
the steamer had been conducted during the
peril of the prevailing wind. She met the
storm just above Fort Washington, where the
dust that rose from the city was in such
dense clouds as to render It impossible for the
pilot to see through it. However, the steamer
was kept with her head to the wind, and al
though not making more than a mile in one
hour, managed to get through in safety.

most valuable aid on this occasion, and his
