The noises emanated from the occupants of fifteen good-sized jute bags lying over in one corner. These occupants were fifteen blooded fighting cocks, and to their presence in the Broad Street Station hangs a tale of vigilance on the part of agents of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, disappointed sports and captured birds. -TIP WAS OBTAINED. Tuesday afternoon the agents of the society received a tip to the effect that a big cocking main was scheduled to come of somewhere near Philadelphia that night. The tip included the additional information that twenty-four birds from Atlantic City, and fifteen from Lancaster were en route to the scene of the main, -each lot accompanied by a score or more of sporting men from each place intent on witnessing the bouts.

A third batch of birds was also to be on hand, so the tip said, and, of course, a large number of onlookers from this city- By watching the incoming trains from Atlantic City at the Powelton Avenue and Gennantown Junction Stations, the agents of the society managed to get on the track of the Atlantic City Two of the agents' rode with the irowd into Broad Street Station and saw them buy tickets for Chester. Three more of the society's men were sent for, and, headed by Agent McNair, the five climbed aboard the same train the Atlantic City men; were on. AGENT ADMITTED. The train stopped at Lamokin, a small place about a mile this side of Chester where the whole party got off. Half an hour later everybody but four of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty men had disappeared inside a resort not far from the railroad station.

One agent managed to pass muster and entered along with the genuine sports. He remained inside long enough to witness, he says, two "bouts and then joined his companions. It was decided that as it was a case of five against two hundred the best plan would "be to return to Philadelphia and seize what birds came through the city on their way back.

Colonel Dechert, of the Second Infantry, is detailed as the court, and will have as his recorder First Lieutenant Snyder, inspector of rifle practice of his regiment. The first session of the court will be held on Saturday afternoon. Considerable comment was aroused In military circles over the announcement, which was made exclusively in The Inquirer yesterday, that a Court of Inquiry had been ordered. Some of the officers thought that it was unwise to rake up the affairs of the Twentieth, saying that It would not be of any benefit to the Guard, bnt'a large majority of those spoktn to declared that the action of the Adjutant-General In ordering the court was a good move, as it would settle for all time the rumors affecting the financial management of Colonel Leland's late regiment.

"As I gathered from the prisoner and others conversant with the case, Becker was married to a widow, from whom he parted some time afterward.

On the evening of Stptember 24, 1889, in company with one Conway, who worked for him, he went to. his wife's place for the purpose of taking away some of his belongings, Conway was shot in the back, accidentally, as Becker claims, and the latter immediately went to the police station and gave himself up. It is said that his former wife pushed the case against him. "A movement is to be set on foot among Scandinavians in this country to secure Becker his liberty. I am in receipt of a number of letters expressing sympathy with the prisoner, whose words impressed irie as being truthful." Countess Schimmelmann is expected to visit Philadelphia in a few weeks for the purpose of addressing meetings of people interested in mission work.
