SDcrsGl Dispaich 70 the Sunday Registef.
Prr-sBURGu, October 2S.LDuring the past
week silairs have been apparently quiet in
the ranks Of the Amalgamated Association,
but beneath the calm storm is brewing.
PreSident Jarrett is very much incensed at
the action OF Mechanics Lodge, in trying
TO pull him down, and proposes TO bring
matters to direct issue. In letter to the
Labor Tribune of to day, an advance ab-
Stract Of which was sent the REsIsrER by
wire, he denies in toto the charges made in
the circular issued by that lodge, and chal-
lenges the lodge 70 prove them. He re-
quests an investigation OF the matter by
the Association, and closes by saying that
after such investigation he will be willing
10 say whatever Is necessary to set himself
rght before the public. The reporterswill
remember that, and the press may get some
very interesting matter concerning the in-
side workings Of TIE Association particu.
iariy with reference to the late strike. Mr..
Jarrett admits that be did say he would re-
sign the Presidency of the Amalgamated
that society, but now says be would decline
to DO so in the present emergency. Ii at
any time ten lodges Of the Association are
dissatisfied with his management of the
Association, he is is ready to abdiCate, at
their request. But when that request is
coupled with
a Charge OF wIlfuI MismRnaEement,
and an implication Of corrupt conduct, as
it Is in the present instance, he will not re-
FrrNI ,IaFa sy,Vr
tiUn is had, - that he may Gle n himself.
The mine rs met N convention yesterday,
lUt did nothing 20 Startle the community
very seriously. There was fear that the
men would make a strike for the four cents
which they failed To get in the summer.
The more conservative element seems 10
have controlled the convention, however,
and no such action was taken. Another
way OF getting sJ the matter was adopted
which may finally lead 10 aStrike. \ CON
uittee was appointed to meet with the
operators along the line Of the various rail
roads and lay before them request for an
SGYaRue. Ii is not declared that a strike
will follow refusal of this request. but
such msv be the result The resignation
II the President, y. r. Jones, was accepted
and a number OF names put in nOmina-
lion rs his successor. These names will be
voted on by the lodges within few days,
when the result will be made known. Ddr-
ing Mr. Jones' presidency he devoted his
spare moments tO the study OF the law, and
was recently admitted 10 the bar OF this
county. He resigns the Presidency OF the
Miners Union in order 70 engage IN that
profession.
Next to a case in the Orphans Court, in
which one Of our milliOnaireS is trying 10
get possession Of his grandchildren the
children of his Son-in.law, in which good
deal of gOSsIp D and scandal from high life
is being brought out, the CITY IS most
agitated Just now by the presence OF

The Exercises OF the Army
are conducted in q very strange manner,
There is no ceremony whatever. One sol
der of the Cross breaks in upon another's
address, hymn or prayer, without any pre-
lniaary understanding, just as the spirit
moves ham or her. They keep up an IN
cessAnt excitement. There is not the lsaSs
cessation OF battle. From the moment the
first com manu is given the troops load aud
fire by f0Vrss BY plAtOOus, by companies, 1
and At discretion. At the close of Capt.
Irons address q prayer was made by capt.
