The international Catholic Beneficial
Union, composed of delegates from ali
the Catholic beneficial societies in the
country, will meet in Brooklyn ON Wed.
nesday, September 9th. The Hon. A. M.
Kelley, late minister to Italy and Austria,
whose disgraceful treatment by the gov.
erments of those countries is national
topic, was president of the l. G. b. U.
for several years, md is one of the most
valued members of the organization. As
the matter will be considered at the ap.
preaching session of the ]. q. b. u, the
president addressed notices to tie sub
ordinate bodies requesting that each give
expression to their sentiments in the
shape of resolutions TO be presented to
the international body. In accordance
with this suggestion the Knights of ST..
Lawrence of this city met on Sunday
afternoon, and after electing James L.
Ryan delegate, adopted the following
resolutions, which Delegate Ryan will
present to the international body:
Be il resolved, by tho Knights of st.
Lawrence. in meeting assembled, that we
have heard with regret of the refusal of the
Italian and Austrian governments to receive
the Hon. A. NJ. Kelley as the representative
Of American interests before the courts Of
the above named countries. And be it
further
Resoloed, That while we appreciate the
honor conferred on the Hon. A. NJ. Kelley
in his appointment as minister by his
excellency the President of the United
States, We are compelled to look with dis
dnin and contempt on the pusillanimous
acts of the above-named governments In
their refusal to receive him us the ac-
credited representative Of n free and intelli-
gent people. And be 1t further
Resoiped, That we hold IL an honor to be
unwelcomed by governments whose whole
course has been marked by injustice and
irreligion, and that the Italian and Austrian
governments have, by their recent action,
made themselves aiders and partners in the
shame, and justly deserve the condemna-
ton of all honorable men and, be it further
ResolUed, That we return our thanks to
tho Hon. Thomas +. Bayard, Secretary of
State, for the noble and determined stand
he has taken In this unpleasant business

Nathan belonged to the late Hon.

for fear of taking cold if he fastened it.
He had about his place some old fashioned
farming utensils, such as wooden shovels,
made three quarters of century back,
which he continued to use as long as he

white people of Oxford Neck. Of all OF

THE REYBOLD REPAIRED.
A. Good as New and Ready 10 Res
sumo Her Trips 10 salem.


Philadelphia Record of Monday.
The steamboat Major Reybold, which
was SO badly wrecked in the recent
cyclone which visited this city with such
terrible effect, has been repaired by the
Harlan IL Hollingsworth Company, and
will resume her trips between this city
and Salem on Wednesday. The boat is
now in better condition than she was
before the accident.
Recently the company which owns the
steamer offered reward of 300 for the
recovery of the steamers bell, which was
lost in the disaster. The bell was q relic,
and was the one placed by old Majol
Reybold, the pioneer of the line, upon
the steamer many years ago The bell
had peculiar value from the fact that Il
large quantity of silver had been used in it,
construction in order to give it n mellow
tone, and the Reybold's bell could always
be distinguished from that of any other
boat on the river. Divers have been EN-.
ployed to search the bottom of the rive in
the neighborhood of the disaster, but they
could not find the old bell. 1t is feared
that river pirates have found it and made
off with it. The bottom of the Delaware
was carefully dragged over in the vicinity
of the wreck and many other objects torn
from the steamers deck were found.

The supply Much BETTER This season
Than East. ..

philad lphia Record.
Experts who have visited the oyster
beds during the past week say that the
supply this year will be much better in
quality and quantity than the last. Oyster
men say that more Chesapeake oysters
will come this year than usual, but they
declare that the supply from this source
is not so good as that from the Delaware
creeks and coves. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if there are amy better oysters to be
found tlnn those which come from the
Chiucotengue, on the Eastern Shore of
Virginia, or those from Cherry Stone, just
above Cape Charles on the Chesapeake
bay. OF these oysters Philadelphia will
have a much better supply this season
than ever before For years past the
connection of the Old Dominion
Steamship Company, by means of the
Delaware, Maryland n Virginia railroad
fom Chincoteague TO Lewes, Del, has di-
verified the shipments from Chincoteague
to New York. Now the Pennsylvania
railroad controls the Delaware, Maryland
H. Virginia road, and the Old Dominion's
New York connection is gone. The result
will he that all the Cliucutcngue oysters
which are marketed by rail must come to
this city first so that in every way
Philadelphia has reason 20 anticipate II
great supply of the best oysters in the
world this season. Oysters, however, ara
seldom n glut, aud stows are likely TO re-
main ut 25 cents, although the dealers
may put a few more and fatter ones in
the stew-pnn this year.

Detection of the Dynamite Ficnd-

of the FELTON,, publishes notice that re-

Captain Linden of the .Pinkerton
Agency, is still industriously at work on
the steamboat FELTON, explosion mystery.
He is looking into the matter of farmers
purchasing dynamite. He expresses
himself MS still convinced that
the explosion was not accidental. He
does not believe in the story of caba
being placed where it could explode if it
contained any explosive. The alleged caba
clasp, which WINS found in the rubbish
on the boat, is small piece of copper,
very little like what it was thought to be.
It is not caba clasp, the officers feel
reasonably certain, as it has been com.
pared to many such clasps and bears very
little or no resemblance to them. The
theory of malice is still entertained by
the Pinkerton people.
John Vantine, victim of the FELTON,
explosion who lives in Chester, and who
has been in the hospital at Philadelphia
since the accident, was brought home
yesterday week and taken to his resi-
dence. His condition is somewhat i'm
proved, although il will be many weeks
before he will be able to move about.
PHrLADELpH1A, Aug. 2S.-Chief of De-
tectives Kelly received an anonymous
note this morning in reference to the
explosion the steamer Samuel M. FELTON,
as follows: 1.-The FELTON, explosion was
dynamite. The people who had IL did
not intend to explode it, but were on the
boat at the time and were taking it home
to use. It will be impossible for you to
discover them, but to remove suspicion of
evil intent from others this statement is
made. Your investigations should be to
that end"
The note is evidently written in dis
guised hand.

ordinance preventing citizens keeping
cows" 9; Sin favor of the ordinance pre-

Only 10 votes were cast stating any OPP
position to the ordinance, but the vote is
claimed by the people opposed to the
ordinance.
Numbers of citizens did not vote upon
the question, claiming that it was but a
fizzle and that council should take action
without enacting such farce us that of
Saturday, which for printing, &C., has
involved an expense of about 300.
Council wished to have the voice of the
people. They have now a vote of 1856
persons against 300 names, among which
were the best of our citizens, that were
signed to petition praying council to
abate the COW nuisance. Council has
now heard two voices, and the question is,
which will it heed, the cows or the
