First Apnea rat ce of the Jaunty Summer Uniforms of the Police. "Oh, it's me," growled a Reserve policeman on Chestnut street yesterday from underneath the visor of his new mouse-colored helmet.

"I'm blessed if I was quite certain whether I as myself when I first started out in these new summer duds," and the disgusted Reserve gave a terrifying glance at three small boys who stood on the curbstone and gaped at him with wonder in their eyes. The new summer uniform that made its initial appearance to the public yesterday is very showy, although at first odd to people accustomed to gaze at the old Stokley uui. form which the police have worn for more than ten years. Only the Reserves had on the new uniform yesterday, but the men in the districts will shortly take to the innovation, and will adopt the helmet and frock coat as soon as they are ready. The coat has a single row of nine nickel-plated buttons down the front; the pants have a narrow white stripe, and the helmets are a very neat shape, although they look rather warm.

Several of the Reserves yesterday wore a look of settled disgust in their handsome faces. Some of them were as mad as hornets, and didn't make any effort to conceal it. On one of the street corners a policeman was observed making the most futile attempts to hide himself from the stony gaze of curious people by crouching in a doorway and pulling his helmet as far down over his face as it would go without completely engulfing his bead. He wore a look of extreme discomfort, aud when he tried to straighten himself up and look indifferent, it was only with the courage of despair. 'People take us for the Ridgway Park Band, 1 guess," said the discomfited policeman, stroking his silken moustache with malicious energy.

"Here it was only yesterday we were poking fun at the letter carriers and getting them worked up to a pitch of excitement, and to-day we came out dressed up like dudes ourselves, so that nobody knows us. The Post Office people have got the bulge on us nicely now, haven't they? Why, do you know," said the custodian, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye, and looking as if he wanted to club a harmless bootblack, "my most intimate political friends passed me to-day without a glimpse of recognition actually stared at me, and didn't know me." "A policeman's lot.they say, is not a hap" but the Reserve reached for his rear pocket in a threatening way, and the sympathizing pirate of "pen's ink" collapsed. Just then a letter-carrier passed, and, cocking his helmet on one side, winked his eye and smiled a malicious smile of revenge. The Reserve drank in this little by play, and his words, too full lor utterance, were expressed in a look of silent and overpowering contempt. "It's all right," ho said, when he recovered his sinking spirits; "there's some style in our hats alonside of those scarecrows the letter-carriers wear.

They look as if they'd been planed oft on the sides and drawn out in the middle. The first day 1 saw them I expected a proclamation would be issued to arrest every man with one on and lock him up to keep the peace." The Reserve heaved a deep sigh, and tried to draw himself further in the doorway, with the remark that be had felt an appresension all day that one of the district men would tumble across him and arrest him for trying to frighten innocent jienple. Some few ot the Reserves, however, took the matter in a different shape. They were quite pleased with the new order of things, and they supported themselves with an air aril born of an imagination that they were standing in Broadway or Fifth avenue. This favorable opinion was shared generally by the public.

The people have grown ired with the old stylo, and the new one is certainly very attractive, and a very great improvement. When all the men on the force are similarly clad the city will hail it with itelight. ACADEMY OP THE FINE ART3. the Fifty-firth Annual Kxhlbition to be Held in November.

It took ten Innings to decide the Athletic- Columbus game yesterday afternoon, the champions fioal'y winning by a score of 3 to It was a battle between the pitchers, in which Matthews came off first best. The fielding on both sides was sharp, but the Athletics also came in first best in this re-i-pcct. The Columbus nine started off with a good lead, but the Athletics tied the score in he sixth inning in this way: wo were out when Brown muffed a fly ball from Stovey, llouck made a base hit, and Knight followed iib a three-barer, sending in two runs. The two thousand people present labored under a great strain of suppressed enthusiasm until the tenth inning, when the champions made the winning run. Larkin led off with a three-base hit and scored on Matthews' fly hit to left held.

The home nine had the lead until the fturth inning, when theKew Yorks made seven runs. Six of these, was claimed. were scored on a dubious decision by the umpire. Coleman pitched for five innings, when Purcell took his place.

Both were batted very hard. McKinnon made a home run in the sixth inning by sending the ball behind the flag pole in right field. The Pbiladelphias played a very loose game in the field, while outside of their battery the visi tors made no errors. Ihe score follows: New YOliK. A.B.

At a meeting of Councils Water Commit tee yesterday afternoon a number ot ordl nances authri.ing the laying ol water pipe at various points were ordered to be favorably reported. From the Chief Engineer a com. munication was received recommending that the police aud tire stations be furnished with private attachments to the water mains so as to prevent tne use ot tne nre plugs for wasm. ing hose and clothing by which a large waste. age occurs.

The Chair was directed to report a resolution la councils requiring tus attach-ments to be made, to be referred on the Com mittees on Fire ahd Police. A resolution of instruction to the City Soli citor to ascertain if the alleged dumpage of refuse matter into the Schuylkill river near the mouth of the Wissahickon is illegal, and to take such measures as will preveut it the future, was directed to be returned to Councils with a favorable recommendation. A communication was received from the Chief Engineer calling attention to the diili culties which often occur to property owners iu obtaining a supply of water on streets winch have not been dedicated and on which mains can not be laid, and asking that some provisions lie made by which the matter can be adjusted. The question was referred to the Committee on iixteusious for examina tion and report. Another communication from the chief was read calling attention to the waste of water through the present system ot obtain ing a supply for tlie horse troughs on the street, and recommending the passage of a resolution authorizing tho department to re- ouire a suitable stop to be placed on the sup ply pipe to proveut the tlow of water except when actually needed, and authorizing a reductiou of the rate for such attachments from twenty-five dollars per year, as at present, to tiv dollars.

Tliu resolution as proposed was agreed to. riiiladelphia Knterprlse. Furniture and supplies have bopn for warded from this city to the new Tacoma Hotel. Tacoma, ashmgton Territory, an eu tup! ihe at the head of which stands one of tliu most prominent 01 ine residents 01 ruis city, Mr. Charles B.

OFXSIXG OF PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW BRANCH LINK To Germantown acd Chestnut EI11 Read-tog's Receivers in Session The Story About the New Buffalo Loan. As the new branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad has approached completion the people of Chestnut Hill, and Germantown and vicinity have looked forward with increasing eagerness to the time when they might enjoy the advantages of competition between two lines of conveyance from the city.

To-day brings the fruition of that hope. The new Philadelphia, Oormantown and Chestnut II 111 branch of the Pennsylvania Road will be informally opened this morning for traffic and travel, a- On that day and afterwards trains will leave the Broad Street Station at 7.55 and 9.30 A. M. and 1.02, 4.24 and 7.23 J'. reaching Germantown in nineteen and Chestnut Hill in thirty-five minutes from the heart of the citv.

Returning, traina will leave Chestnut Bill at 7.2!, 8.45 and 10.55 A.M. and 3.1K and 5.15 P. and Germantown at 7.30, 8.5'J and 11.05 A. 3.32 and 5.2!) P. M.

These five trains aro only, so to speak, experimental; the formal enlng of the road will take place and the full complement of trains begin to run on the 23d inst. The cats run over the Connecting Railroad as do the trains for New York till tiiey reach Germantown Junction. They stop at Powel-ton Avenue and the Zoological Gardens aud at Ridge Avenue. Thence they run to Germantown Junction, where another stop is made, and then they branch off on the new-road, along which the stations are as follows: Westmoreland Avenue, Queen Lane, Chulten Avenue, Tulpehockon, Upsal and Carpenter avenues, Allen Lane, Wissahickon, Highland Avenue and Chestnut Hill. ust aftur leaving the Junction the new line, curving rouud to the northwest, crosses the Reading Road as it crosses the streets intervening between the stations above grade on an iron bridge, at an elevation of not less than twenty feet above the roadway.

From that crossing it runs parallel with the Norris-town branch of the Philadelphia and Reading as far as Alleghany avenue, where it inclines more to the north in the direction of Westmoreland avenue. From Nicetowu the track trends still more to the northward, crossing the Richmond branch of the Philadelphia and Reading, intersecting the Old Oaks Cemetery property anil sweeping under Wissahickon avenue to the Queen Street Station. Thence curving to the west, the line passes under in-atead of over the intersecting streets, till it reaches Chelten avenue, where the principal Gerniantom station is situated. Ritteuhouse and Harvey streets are crossed by means of bridges, aud the next two stations are Tulpe-bocken and Upsal, the latter the upper Germantown deK)t Three-fourths of a mile beyond, at Carpenter street, a station is still to be built, and another at Allen's lane, Mount Pleasant avenue, that lies between the two. being bridged over aud crossed above grade.

After passing Allen's Lane Station the road begins to approach Cresheitn creek, stealing sleepily down through its narrow valley, across which there is a high iron viaduct, 450 feet in length and 70 feet above the bed of the stream. A quarter of a ndle further on is Wissahickon Station, near which stands the Wissahickon Inn, a model of hotel architecture. Tiie last way station is Highland Avenue, which is within a short distance of the terminus, or opposite the intersection of the old Bethlehem turnpike with Germantown Avenue, and about two squares south of the depot of the Chestnut Hill branch of the Reading Railroad. The entire distance between Germantown Junction on the northern verge of the built np portion of the city, ami the Chestnut Hill terminus is miles, with the advantage of a clear road to Broad street. On Monday next the Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley Railroad is to be opened to Norristown, giving to the residents of that place the same advantage of competing lines of conveyance that will henceforth be enjoyed by those liv-ing at Gennautown aud Chestnut Hill.

Audits have been appointed at seven of the stations. Germantown Junction, Chelten Avenue, Tulpehockon, Carpenter, Wissahickon. aud Highland Avenues and Chestnut Hill. HKADIMU MATT Kit. Hie llecelvers Finding Out Ilia Condition of Ihs Komi The July Interest.

The receivers of the Reading Railroad hold a lung meeting yesterday and discussed the reports relative to the condition of the road that are being prepared for them. So far the progress has been slow and it will be an im mense undertaking to ascertain how the com pany stands. There are 10,000 men on the pay rolls of the railroad company alone, and in some departments the pay lists for May Lave not yet been passed upon. The bills for materials aud supplies furnished in May bare not yet Iwcn presented. The May returns from all the company's agents have not been received and there are other items, so that the iiflicers do not expect to be able to get out a statement for probably three week.

A balance sheet showing the condition of the corporation on June 2, when the receivers took control, will also be prepared. Officers of the company say that it is tm possible to tell yet whether or not the July interest on the general mortgage bonds would be paid. I ntil the receivers fully under stand just how the road stands, whether there will be a pressure on the part of the holders of the doming debt for payment and what the prospects of the coal trade are, no course of action nl be determined upon. MIT I'UFSShl FOB MONEY, Buffalo, New York and rhlladelphla Ball road OBtclala Say There la No Trouble. The rep rttbat the Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia Railroad was in sore need of money, and that a loan of $1,200,000 had been secured by mortgaging some of its unincumbered proixuty, was yesterday denied by the secretary, who stated that, so far as he knew, there was absolutely no truth in the state ment.

it Is true," Baid he. "that the rail. read compsny, like all other corporations, sometimes wants money, and then it is tem porarily borrowed, and it is possible that this story has arisen from a loan so made. 1 have not heard, nor do I believe that the company has made a mortgage loan of over a million, and such a matter would surely come to my notice. The road is not in need of so much money.

The business this year has been fairly good and promise to be better in the last half. and there is a prospect that rates will also advance. NOTES.

The following communications were re ceived and appropriately referred: From the Twelfth section requesting the board to open Kinuergarten scuoois in ine liovoudt and Saunders school houses; from the Thirteenth section requesting the board to erect ire escapes in the school houses; from the Twenty- second section asking attention to the necessity of erecting a school for colored children on Haines street; from the Twenty-third section requesting the board to ask City Councils for an appropriation of $50,000 to build a school house at Rowan and Thomas streets; irom ine xwenty-eigutn section explaining the facts In connection with the closing of Camac tchool. A communication was received from the secretary of the Franklin Institute requesting the board to pass a resolution so that tho Grammar and High Schools pupils may visit ine Electrical Exhibition, it was referred to the Office Committee. A communication was received from Dr. W. W.

Keen calling the attention of the board to the bad sanitary condition of the rtnted building, No. 1007 South Twelfth street. The rooms are said to bo stnall and filled with little ones, in fact, overcrowded. The mattor was referred to the Property Cotu-mite. A communicat ion from the Board of Health inclosing a report and resolutions, relative the drainage, of some of the public schools, passed on May 20, was received and referred.

The Committee on Girls Normal School, having under consideration the enlargement of the department of practice connected with the school by the additiou of a boys' pri mary and secondary school of ten divisions, reported that it has been necessary to discontinue the work which has heretofore been done by the teacher having charge of, the "review of grammar grade studies with reference to teaching the same." The committee recommended the resolution that rule twenty-ty-six relating to the mode of promoting pupils to the Girls' Normal School, be suspended for the purpose of excepting drawing as one of the subjects of examination to bo hold this month. The rewrt was adopted. The report of the Committee on Property stated that prompt attention had been given to the complaint of sanitary apparatus iu different schools, as they were referred to the committee, in some cases the complaints were not justified; in Others the committee was unable to remedy the defects for want of funds. Tlie report was approved. The reports of the Committees on Supplies and Grammar, Secondary and Primary Schools were also accepted.

A motion was made to reconsider the vote by which recently the rule providing for the admission of pupils to the Girls' Normal School on the quota system was dispensed with. This provoked a renewal of all the discussions which preceded the adoption of the quota system. Mr. Spangler presented figures to show how the quota system bad operated to the benefit of the Normal School as compared with the High School, and urged tho postponement of the subject. Mr.

Gxafz was opposed to the mission of a girl of one ward who obtained an average of sixty, while her neighbor in another ward, with an average of sixty-live, is rejected. The motion to reconsider, after a debate which consumed the greater portion of the session, was lost by a vote of 8 to It). THE STELLA. VICTIMS. Anderson's Body Found An Inquest Captain Carglll Censured.

Yesterday morning the body of Albert Anderson, of No. 115 Cedar street, this city, who was one of the victims at the sinking of the steam yacht Stella, ou Sunday last, at Delanco, New Jersey, in the Raucosas creek, was found near the scene of tho sinking. No inquest was held on this body, as it was not deemed necessary by the coroner, Joshua Taylor, of Burlington, who held an inquest ou the body of Anderson's fellow-victim, Robert A. Coster, of No. 1943 Poplar street, this city, yesterday afternoon.

At this inquest a number of witnesses were examined, among thern bring Captain Jtmos H. Cargill, of the yacht. He tcstilied, as has 1 en previously related, that, he signaled four times for the opening of the draw, and thou went ahead, running into the bridge. Edward Stirling, the bridge tender, testified that he heard the whistle, and went, at once to open the draw, but when he reached it, the yacht had struck and sunk. He helped to rescue John Cuthbert, who was clinging to the bridge.

He said, in explaining his duties, that be worked seven days iu the week and twenty-four hours per day. The jury rendered a to the effect that Coster came to his death from drowning, and that James H. Cargill, of No. ltiL'3 North Twenty-sixth street, this city.was responsible for not taking proper precautions to keep at a safe distance from the bridgo till the draw vas opened; and further censured the county for nil, providing a sufficient, force to attend the biiilge, and exonerated Stirling from bliinie, ou the ground that his duties are too great to be properly attended to by one man. Captain Cargill will be obliged to enter bail to tippear before the Burlington county grand jury at the next term of court.

A despatch from Montreal says the for warding companies have reduced the rate on grain from Kingston to Montreal Jc. per bushel. The Elevating Company has also re duced its rate n. The grain dealers are indignant because the reduction practically only goes in force in ten days or a fortnight.

The lower rates take effect only on grain which left Chicago yesterday. Large quantities had been bought and sold previous to Saturday on the basis of the reductiou in the expectation that the reduction of forwarding and elevating would take etiect tne same day as the reduction of rates on the canal.

TROUBLE IN THE HEALTH BOARD.

Members at and a Committee of I nveslifation Appointed. There was a little breeze at the meeting of the Board of Health yesterday, which re sulted in the appointment of a committee to Investigate the matters complained of. When the meeting was called to order the usual routine business was taken up. The trustees of the Chestnut Hill Methodist Church were granted permission to remove about twenty bodies to Ivy Hill Cemetery. Ibe physician of the Municipal Hospital reported that there were five patients in the institution.

Prs James Farley and John Sibbald ap plied for the position of vaccine physician. Chief Inspector Martin stated that during the month of May 1302 complaints had been registered, ot which 1048 were declared to be nuisances, 77 wero referred to other departments and 177 were dismissed. At this point Mr. Patterson arose and stated that some time ago he recommended a number named Howell to the Health Omcer, mt he understood that charges had been made against Howell by members of the board, in consequence of which he had not been given work. He wanted to know who made the charges.

Health Omcer Veale was called into tne room and stated that two members of the board had stated that Howell had charged for work he had not done, aud therefore no work was given him. 'V ho were the momiiers who made those charges," inquired Mr. Patterson. "Ihe gentlemen are in the loom, ami If they give me permission I will mention their names, replied Major eaie. Mr.

Allison and Mr. Dutton here arose and said that they made the charges and could prove them. nne mailer is out or order nere, said Chairman Sickel, pounding with his gavel. 4'1 want the matter investigated," demanded Mr. Patterson.
