directing that committee to take into
consideration the subject of the rela.
tions between labor and capital, the
wages and hours of labor, the condition
of the laboring classes in the United
States, and their relative condition and
wages compared with similar classes
abroad, and to inquire into the division
between labor and capital of their joint
productions in the United States, also the
subject of labor strikes, and to inquire
into the causes thereof and the agencies
producing the same, and to report what

A SUrDriSe Party.

Last Saturday being the twenty-htth
anniversary of the wedding of Nathan
S. Galloway, foreman of the Chrstana
Iron Works, a number of his friends
rendered him and his wife a surprise
party at his residence on Townsend
street. The party was arranged by
their children, and about fifty persons
were present. Refreshments were
served in abundance, and the couple
received number Of valuable presents,
among them being a handsome silver
pitcher and cake dish. The Rev. Il.
o. o. Brien, Of Madeley, NJ. f. Church,
performed the marriage ceremony
again, and the couple renewed the
vows made Il quarter of a century ago

singular AM ictiOn.

A beard of wheat lodged in the
mouth of one Of the, men who was EN-.
ployed in binding sheaves for Elwood
Mousley. on the farm of Mr.. Hollings-
worth a week or two ago. Little at
tention was paid to it, and in few
days afterwards the pain became SO
great that food could only be eaten with
difficulty. On examination it was
found that the heard was working
through the cheek, and producing
very ugly sore, which was so painful as
to lead to an entire suspension of work
and great physical prostration. He is
row improving, bu' the incident shows
the importance of paying immediate at
tention to apparently small matters.

The TIlden Boom.

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger of the 2lst says !:
The Democratic wire-pullers in the
Gramercy Park interest are not a little
disconnected by the disclosure of the
fact in this correspondence that hur-
ried private conference Of Mr. Tilden' s
friends was held at Albany last Satur-
day night, with view of restoring the
entente cordiale between Governor
Cleveland and the Tammany faction, 50
az to clear the way for making New
York State "soid for Tilden." One or
two of the statesmen who are known to
have participated in the conference are
endeavOring to create an impression
that it did not take place ; but this is
the usual device of politicians whose in.
trigues have been prematurely diyulg-
ed. Mr.. John Kelly, who is cognizant
of everything that transpired on that
occasion, is said to not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that the conference
was "extra otficious," and that If the
persons who called it are really anxious
to harmonize the party they must cease
to act the part of busybodies.
AS for the Governor, he is further
reported as declaring that it is in his
power any day to restore friendly un-
derstanding with Tammany by recog-
nizing the right Of that organization o
its legitimate control Of the city offices.
I" The Governor" says the !" Boss, "
" has endeavored to transfer that right
to his rural followers; when he retreats
from that position Tammany will bury
the hatchet, but not before. If he or
Mr. Tilden have any propositions to
present to that effect we are prepared to
consider them. For our own part we
have none ootfer. We simply stand
by our guns" This is the imperial
style, You will notice, and it tshOws that
Mr.. Kel Y was never more determined
to boss the party than he is at this mo-
ment, and that determination, it is GER
tain, will be demon strated at the ap-
proathing State Convention. The infer
ence from it all is, that a prospect for a
Reunion OF the factions, which looked so
promising awhile ago, are again sadly
overclOldeu.

TO BE BUILT IN THIS CITY.
william AstOr's New Yacht to be
Built at Harlan 4 Holdings.
WOfthsH,

1t is now definitely settled that Will
liam Astor's new steam yacht will be
built in this city by Harlan Il Hollings-
worth.
The plans and spetications were
brought to this city last week by Ma
rine Architect Hillborn of New York
and submitted to the officers of the
Harlan & Holingsworth Company, and
although the contract is not yet signed
it is positive that it will be awarded to
this Company. An official of the Com
pany is now in New York, and it is
probable the arrangements will consul
mated and work commenced as soon as
he returns.
The yacht will be 236 feet long. 30
feet heam, and 20 feet depth of hold,
and constructed entirely of steel. She
will be furnished with compound en-
gines and steel boilers, with speed of
fourteen knots an hour The cost of the
boat will be $350,00O, and she will be
fitted with large parlor, saloon, din
ing hall and extra large state rooms, all
furnished in the most luxurious man
ner. 1t is not expected that she will be
completed before next May.

Meetings Of Power.

The "twilight meetings" being held
at the Delaware Avenue Baptist Ch ,rch
every Lords Day evening continue to
grow in power and numbers. Especially
so was the one held last evening. one
hour, seven to eight, is tie usual length
of the service, but for two hours there
was au uninterrupted flow of prayer,
praise and testimony to the saving pow
er of Christ, Grateful hearts told, with
broken utterances, how much He had
blessed them, while cold hearts were re-
kindled, and the wanderers called
home. Those present felt. in a peculiar
manner, the spirits power, and surely
it could be said, as in days of old,
" Jesus was in the house." The in
tuences of such meetings linger with
the christian, and are helpful to bet
ter living amid the worlds temptations.
These meetings will continue during the
summer, and christians will find it Il
good place to be. p.

Suit Against the Tugs.

Last week forty eight tug boats were
served with notices in Philadelphia re-
quiring them to appear efore the Col
lecrors of the Port and Show cause why
each Of them should not be fined for
carrying passengers without license,
and not exercising their crews in the fire
drill. 1t is claimed that none of these
boats have a passenger license and that
they are constantly violating the
United States laws. The tug boat men
claimed that passengers were never car
ried except in transferring captains
from vessels which they had towed up
the river and anchored in the stream,
and that this was necessary to enable
the captains to enter their vessels at the
Custom House. They also contend that
this law does not apply to tug boats,
but is only applicable 20 passenger
steamboats, running regularly on the
river The fines, if enforced, will
amount to over $5O,000, and j. Church
man, President of the Towboat Owners
Association, has gone to Washington to
confer with the Secretary of the Treas
ury. 1t is said that j. w. Frazier, who
instituted suit against the Thomas
Clyde last year for carrying more pas
sengers than allowed by law, and
against the Twilight and several other
boats this year for not having their Off
GERS licensed, is the informer.
