Coal Dumping.

lusEY BROTHERS NEW INVENTION AND WHAT 1T
WILL DO.
A most complete labor-saving machine for un-
loading coal from boats has beou invented by
the enterprsing firm OF Pusey Brothers. They
formerly unoaded in the old-fashioned way, by
small cars on an elevated Inclined railway, but
moving that more labor was used in that oper-
alton than was actually necessary, they put their
wits to work and have invented new plan,
which saves nearly fifty per cent. OF labor.
In the now arruu gement, the elevated railway
Is still used, but in different manner. The lit
tle cars are thrown aside, and the coal buckets
which hold about 500 pounds are used in their
places These buckets are suspended from the
elevated railway. and are carried on tracks Oh
Lho inside edges of the two timbers which are
about ten inches apart. little truck, with
four small wheels, from which the buckets are
hung by block and fall, runs up and down the
Tracks with the buckets fast as they are filled,
aud empues them i'll whatever bin is wanted
The buckets and truck are 10 regulated by ingen-
lous machinery at each end thar they cannot so
beyond q certain distance. The machinery i'd OPP
Grated by the usual steam power from the cot
ION mill acroHs Thirteenth street, and the only
thing required is drum, a long rope connecting
With the railway, and a smaller rope regulating
the operation. The force required in unloading
goal ID but three hands, saving the labor of Two
or three others. These three hands can unload
ton OF coal every five minutes, and have un-
loaded 100 tons in Ii hours. when by the old
syrtom it took five or six hands and at least one
'enrth more time to do the same labor.
The inclined railway s about 800 feet long,
covering half dozen or more bins, the ma
c'inery being 30 arranged that the buckets can
be made to stop over any bin. The operation
sayeu ono handling, and the buckets being BUS
pended, there is less friction Of the coal, aud
Consequently less coal dust.

THEIR SPECIAL VISIT TO soUTHwooD-THE ExcuR-
sIoNIsTs UNANIMoUs IN THE OPINION OF THE
DEsIRABILITY OF THE GROVE.
A party consisting Of about twenty Methodists,
and representing most of the churches Of that
faith in this city, went out on an excursion to
Southwood, on the Wilmington & Western
rail road, yesterday. President Bradford
kindly furnished a special car, and be-
slowed many other kindneeses upon the party.
Among other things he paused at Mt Cuba and
also at the Kaolin pits to allow the witnessing
of the process OF preparation OF that article for
market
The special object of the excursion was to Wis
it the fine grove at Southwood, to ascertain its
desirability as a camp-meeting site. After being
landed from the train the whole body explored
the depths OF the woods, covering seventy acres,
enjoyed its shade and with exhilarated feelings
drank in the soft, sweet atmosphere loaded with
beautiful and the excursionists were unanimous
in the opinion that the grove is eminently de-
sirable for camp meeting purposes. Its location
is central and very accessible. The Wilmington
d Western and its connections afford easy ap-
proach from all directions and the belief is ex-
pressed that no more available spot can be se-
Iected.
A good Methodist thinks that this grove is just
what the Methodists of this part of the confer
ence needs. He hopes the day ia not far distant
when the small local camp meetings which are
held this in conference will be consolidated into
two or three, one of which shall be in the vicn-
ity of Wilmington.

'Antialy another Carroll Hamilton fight, the

i1r Controller, without opposition. The Con-
yentloh adopted a platform, the most oonsplcu-
gus feature Of which is a declaration in favor of

ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN AWAY AN HONORABLE DE-
FEAT.
The Reading Times, in ius publication OF the
a,ticle which was copied into the fourth edition
Of the COMMERCIAL yesterday. was imposed
upoa. The eyewitness who furnished the in
formation was evidently not very careful in
ascertsnng his facts, otherwise he would not
have fallen into such manifest error. In con-
lra,ieton of his statements We say by authori-
ty. and from our own observations
lat No agreement was made that the game
should begin at 100 Capt. Hindlo, who Was
the only person authorized to make such com
paet, WAS not even approached on the subject

the linos could possibly have been.

there the least indication of euch thing.

concerned Ut was fully three times as long as

been to the special injury of the Reading club.

that Mr.. Misher commended tho Umpire, Mr..
sherwln, to one gentleman, while to another he
SAID that but two erroneous decisions were CIV

concerned, We are under the impression that

from the members of the Active club them
selves. They will feel in honor bound to ac-
knowledge tho many kindnesses shown thom.
and we do not think thog can have any good
ground for complaint.

Nsr. GouIey,s Excursion.

THE UNotvIL TREATMENT OF CAPT. oURRY-nf FOR
oIBLY rJEgrs THE MANAGER oE THE EXCURSION
FROM TuE GANG FLANK WHILE GETTING ON HE
PARTY.
AS was stated IN tie COMMERCIAL yesterday,
large number of persons who had intended to
accompany Mr.. Oouley's excursion to Atlantic
City were left behind. Mr. Gouey thinks the
number will not exceed forty. Thirty of these
boarded Mr.. Smiths excursion train and went to
philadelphia hoping TO overtake the party at
Camden, but they arrived there Just after the de-
parture Of the train, and rather than pay two
dollars fare 10 the sea they returned home.
Mr. Gouloy represented to us that he re-
ceived tho most uncvil treatment from Mr.. Cur
nv, Captain of tho AreeL He had notified Mr.,
Gluley II few minutes before the hour that he
would leave promptly ut O'Clock, and all Mr..
-Gouley'A entrcatles could not dlssuade him
from his purpose. lie only asked three
minutes extra time. He saw a large number
Of Lis party coming down French Street, he
says, alu,ost on the wharf, and in that time he
il confident he could have had them all on
board. Bnt on the second, Captain Curry
ordered in tho gang planks, while
MIR. Gouley himself was on the
wharf, and he was only able to get on board, he
ssys further, by jumping upon the last board,
and this the deck hands had seized to draw IN.
The Capt, in the meantime, was ordering in the
board and Mr.. G. was endeavoripg to prevent it,
until the Capt. came down from the upper deck
ana WIN us own MINUS pusneu MI. bouey oh
tho board. Each then pushed the other off sew
eral times, but no blows were struck, although
some bad humor was manifested. Finally the
Capt. got the plank n,wlile persons who wanted
to 20 on the excursion were standing on the
rtl,ou and on the wharf, and applying steam, tue
boat WAS propelled away
Csmden was reached and the excursionists
we're all seated in the ten minutes before the
arrival of the hour Of departure. Atlantic City
and home were both reached half hour in ad-
vance of the promised time, and the only un-
pleasant circumstance in connection with the
excursion WAS the getting away from Whining
ton, for which apologies were made by other Of
icors.

A Criminal Curiosity.

| A COMBINATION OF SUICIDE, INSANITY AND SPIRIT
UALIsM.
rFrom the Baltimore American, To-Day.l
| painful and melancholy scene occurred yea
terday in one of the cells of the .city Jail, where
father and son, both supposed to ba insane,
endeavored to end their earthly existences, the
son, without word Of murmur, submitting to
be made sacrifice by his father, who succeed
ed in fatally cutting the young mans throat. 1t
appears that for three years past, Ludwig Scharf
with his wife and son, resided in assmal back
building, in the rear OF East Baltimore street
near Canal.
During several months they lived in almost
total darkness, the suns rays being never allow
cd to illuminate their small room. The light of
Il dim lamp was all they would permit The doors
were boarded up, were also their windows,
and even the keyholes closed; neither the man
nor the woman would ever appear outside, but
sometimes they would be seen in the yard
before daylight. The son, who is about twen-
ty-four years old, occasionally went out to
the Belair market, and by dint Of hard begging
succeeded in securing some articles OF food,
which he would carry home, and the articles
thus obtained furnished the means of subsist-
ence to nun, wife and son. Upon leaving and
returning the boy leaped over the fence. They
refused to answer when any one would rap, and
the landlord upon presenting his bill each month,
had to push it under the door. When they were
ready to pay it they handed the money over the
uOOf. from Lno IlhuueT Vi tuoiI hNos ~ Wouiu
appear that they were insane and it also seems
that they had mental apprehension that some
one was seeking to murder them.
Last Tuesday the whole family was arrested
on a charge of assault upon persons who sought
to enter their house. When the room where
these people lived was entered an almost intol-
erable stencil emanated from it. A black ..and
filthy bed lay on the floor, and chests and bags
were piled up in the corners of the room. A
manuscript book in the handwriting of the old
man, contained record of his talks with the
CANCELS"
Tho woman was Gent to Bayview and Scharf
and his son to Jail. Mrs. Scharf became des-
pondent and tried to hang herself with hand
kercbief to the door knob, but WAS released be-
fore death, and in the Jail yesterday terrible
picture was presented. The father
was standing in his cell with razor in one
hand, while before him the son was kneeling,
with his head raised, as II offering himself a
sacrifice to his fathers inclination. The blood
flowed in copious streams from the boys throat
when the wardens arrived, and the old man
raised his long white beard and drew the razor
across his throat several times, inficting deep
wounds, from which the blood poured in
streams. The young man will probably die,
while the senior Scharf is not seriously injured.
