THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1879. 2 Burden Bearing "Burden Bearing was the subject of the sermon at the Second Pfe-' byterian Church, corner of Twenty-first and Walnut streets, last evening by Rev.1 Theodore L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn. His texts nere: "Everyman shall bear his own burdens. Bear ye one another's burdens.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord;" Galatians, vi: 2, Fsalms, 55: 23. The following is an abstract of the reverend gentleman's remarks: We are apt to associate with burden bearing something menial Now this is a great mistake. One has physical and another moral burdens, and it begins witti childhood. Many a time' tbe rich merchant envies tbe pastor or the clerk, and he carries the burdened bead to the browDstone mansion. God has wedded labor and capital together, and what God has so joined let no Communist try to separate.

Wherever man is sin is, and sorrow and death will come. Nearly every one has a skeleton in his secret closet. We are told we shall bear our burdens, we have no choice. A Christian ought to be stronger for his load. If a child is not trained to carry a load the poor little flabby wretch will be mere pulp.

Between the cross and the crown are many hills of difficulty, and happy are tbe believers that are put on their knees. This grappling with difficulty gives us force, and the hardest of all lessons is to learn to let God have His way. Would all our churches were filled with His spirit of consecration to burden bearing. Tbe word sin and the word cross are twin brothers. There are certain loads God commands us to carry.

Thty are loads which the Lord Jesus Christ will not carry for us. We are told in tbe second text, "Bear one another's burdens, and so lullfil tbe law of Christ." The spirit of charges that Haggerty set the "job" up hrow bim overboard. The hearing of election matters was resumed on Saturday before Judge Allison and Elnock The voting plce o( the, Fifth Division, Fifth Ward, was fixed at Levant and Spruce streets. The court recied that in the absence of the minority inspector at the polls on election day1, the defeated candidate 'for 'judge takes his place by virtue of an act of Destructive lire A Grain Warehouse a moHnj Mas of Debris loss Over One Hvtulrtd thousand Dollars. On Saturday evening, about half past eight o'clock, a fire, which proved to be a most destructive one, broke out in the engine room in the rear of the grain and flour Btorage warehouse, owned by Brooke grain merShauts, comprising Noa.

1729,. 1731 and 1733 Market street. The building is four stories high, with a front of 84 feet, and extends back 180 feet to Jones street. Those who had grain and flour stored in it were Brooke Harper, Robert Fletcher, Pugh Kirk, all of whom had offices in tLQ, front part. I The fire burned fiercely, and soon ran up to the roof, attracting thousands of persons to the scene.

Three alarms were struck, and a large force of firemen were soon at hand. Notwithstanding their efforts the flames gained great headway, and soon, with a crash, the wall on Jones street fell outward, crushing in two brick stables, which, fortunately, were unoccupied, and injuring another. The western wall was uit next to ko. It tumbled upon the old West i hcster freight depot and buried about half of that structure. Ten firemen were on the roof, and tbrea of them, Edward Connor and Charles Alcock, of Engine 26.

and Assistant Engineer William were carried down and severely injureo. The engineer of No. 17, which was at work close to the Market street front, as driven away by the intense heat. Efforts were made to drag the apparatus to another spot, but a rain of bricks suddenly buried a portion of it. A fireman bravely ran in and threw open the safety valve, thus preventing an ex-plcsion.

i- At one time the crowd around the building became so great as to seriously interfere with the movements of the firemen. The latter were directed to turn the hose on the people BENCH; AN I) MR. ft is TBS COUBIS OH HATVKDAX. i 1 A Lawyer Suelnsr for the Custody of His Child Sam Davies Lopped Off the Bar L'st Sullivan Sentenced to Death Court Notes. Charles Hart, a member of the bar, bas brought suit in Judge Allison's court against his wife for the custody of their little boy, aged nearly five years.

The return of the respondent, read to the court, set out that she was obligedto leave her husband on account of his cruel treatment of her, and she Is entitled by law to the custody of the child until he arrives at the age of seven years. The respondent is now living with her father, Dr. Adolphus Fellger. The applicant, in traversing the return, denied having committed the acts alleged in bis wife's complaint, and claimed that she left him without sufficient cause. It was contended that she was not the guardian of the child by nature and for nurture, and a judge in such cases had a right to consult the best interests of the child in deciding the matter.

Tbe hearing of the matter will be resumed next Saturday. Able lawyers are employed on both sides. LAWYER DAVIES STRICKEN OFF. On Saturday, in Court of Common Pleas, No. 2, President Judge Hare rendered an opinion in the case of Samuel Davies, a lawyer, agaiust whom a rule was taken on behalf of the Bar Association, to show cause why he should not be stricken from the roll of attorneys for misusing the funds of a client.

The opinion of Judge Hare, after reviewing the delinquency charged against Davies, concluded thus: "The rule was taken not by Mrs. Curtis but rn behalf of a body whose task it is to vindicate the honor and maintain the purity of the bar, and we are not at liberty to withhold the judgment which they demand. We arrived at this conclusion with much regret some weeks since, and a careful reconsideration of tbe evidence has satisfied us that no other sentence can be pronounced consistently with the requirements of the law and the protection due to tbe community at large. The rule is made absolute, and the Prothonotary is directed to transmit a copy of it, and of the judgment of this court, to the other Courts of Common Pleas, to the Orphans' Court and to ths Court of Quarter Sessions. Rule absolute." Davies is carrying the matter to the Supreme Court.

SULLIVAN SENTENCED TO DEATH. Judge Elcock, on Saturday, overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Daniel F. Sullivan, convicted of having murdered Josie Irwin, and sentenced tbe prisoner to death, after reading an elaborate opinion disposing of the points raised by Sullivan's counsel. The prisoner, when asked the usual question by the clerk, replied that be had nothing to say, and, Judge Elcock, addressing him, then spoke as follows: Conscious of ths responsibility cast upon me I have given every attention to a calm consideration of your case, I have allowed time to elapse in which new thoughts might be gathered or new impulses but I found none of benefit to you. My duty is to administer the law as it is written.

I have no power to mould a sentence of mercy or to justly kindle a spark of hope for you. As the lading rays of life are falling upon you, I cau but commend you to the spiritual guidance which you have already sought, which may bring you hope aad peace. The law's vindica tion is announced in the words of its deoree, which, in deep sympathy, I am forced to pronounce." Judge Elcock then rising, said, It Is considered and adjudged by the court that Daniel Sullivan, the prisoner at the bar, be taken from hence to the jail of tbe couuty of Philadelphia, from whence he came, and from thence to the place of execution, and that he be there banged by the neck until he is dead." Sullivan, during the utterance of this dread sentence, stood weeping, and he was afterwards taken from the dock. THE MEDINA DIVORCE SUIT. The divorce suit of Frank S.

Medina against bis wife was resumed in Judge Biddle's court on Saturday, with tbe plaintiff on the stand for cross-examination. Mr. Diehl commenced bis examination at the chloroform incident, which occurred about two months after the marriage in Indianapolis. Mr. Medina admitted that he had, on one occasion, sent his wife to procure chloroform for his toothache.

The next important point was the pistol, about which he said be had shown his wife where it was kept, had instructed her how to use it, and had loaded it in her presence. He was further cross examined as to his conduct toward the young ladies in his employment, and one of them, Miss McAuliffe, against v. bom tbe wife's objections are chiefly urged nnd her jealousies directed, was subsequently called to the stand. Miss McAuliffe testified that she had never been improperly approached by Medina, though she had received favors from him. The case will be resumed to-day: THE WHITAKER MONEY.

Tbe will of Mary G. Whitaker was iuci-dently touched upon in the Orphans' Court on Saturday. The will had been probated and an appeal had been taken to the decision of the Register admitting the will to probate. Oa September 27, 1879, the appeal was filed in the Orphans' Court, and on October 1 1, upon motion of the counsel for the appellant, au examiner was appointed to take testimony in relation to the will. He proceeded to act, and gave notice to the executors under the will.

The executors thereupon presented a petition asking for a revocation of the appointment of an examiner. It was urged in the petition that the parties appealing from the decision of the Register had not set forth in full their reasons, nor had thoy notified the executors by a citation. The appellants thereupon filed a petition setting forth their reasons for appealing. The revocation of tbe appointment of an examiner was argued in the Orphans' Court, and on Saturday President Judze Hanna de livered an opinion, refusing the petition and declining to revoke the appointment.

In tbe case of the Cottsge Planing Mill Com pany vs. Edward M. Paxsou, tried before Judge Hare, the jury on Saturday rendered a verdict for the defendant. A verdict was also rendered in the same court in favor of Henry Pratt McKean for t558 92 against the Anchor Manufacturing Company. The verdict was taken by agreement.

President Judge Thayer delivered an opinion on Saturday iu the case of Btyers iorfer vs. Hart, which was a rule to strike off a judgment. His Honor discharged the rule. An imprisonment of four years was imposed upon Joseph Sahleuter by Judge brlggson Saturday for taking the life of a saloon keeper named C. H.

They acted upon 438 bills, returning 277 true. The Cathedral Mission. The mission which began at the cathedral on tbe 19ch ult.

concluded last evening. It was conducted by Rev. Bernard A. Maguire, B. assisted by seven fathers of the Society of Jesus.

Upward of twelve thousand persons partook of the sacraments, and nearly two hundred adults are under Instructions for baptism. The first week was set apart for the women, and the last week was devoted to the men, Burglars Xeatly Captured. Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, Policemen Entrl-ken knd Keeijian, of the Nineteenth District, arrested two burglars, and in so doing deserve credit for the skill and' management which (theyidisplayea. jThe fellows had succeeded In getting into Portuondo's segar store, No. 1342 Chestnut Street, opposite the Mint.

While passing the establishment, which is on Entri-ken's beat, that officer found two men in the place whom he knew had no business there. He at once hunted up Policeman Keeman, of tbe same district, and the two laid their plans. It was arranged that Entriken should proceed to the back of the store and head off the rascals if they should attempt to escape in that way, while Keenan watched the front, to be ready for them should they try to work their way out in- that direction. After the fellows had secured all they wanted in the place, tbey turned their attention to the of egress, and decided to get out by the front door, believing that they could leave without being noticed, as but few people were passing along the street "at that early hour. As tbe front door was unlocked the policeman wbo had been biding behind the bulk window put In an appearance, and effectually barred egress in that direction, much to the surprise of the thieves.

One of tbem, taking in the situation at a glance, fled to the rear of the store and got out before Policeman Entriken had put in an appearance. He climbed tbe fence and then ran through an alley into Broad street, where he officer got a glimpse of him, and immediately gave chase. The fellow flew along rapidly, and the officer, fearing he would get away, drew his revolver and fired a couple of (hots after him, which, however, failed to do any damage. He ran into a small thoroughfare known as Drury street, near Broad aad Walnut streets, where he was captured without further trouble. The fellow with whom Policeman Keeman had to wrestle proved to be quite desperite.

A rough and tumble fight ensued which was not ended until the officer struck bim over the head two or three times with a club. Tne po- iceroen then met each other and took their Erisoners to the Nineteenth District Station louse, on Lombard street, below Eighth. The chap who was captured after the chase proved to be Jimmy Logue, a well-known professional sneak thief and cracksman. The other man, who is not known to the police, gave the name of John Osbourn. After the prisoners had been safely locked up the officers went back to tbe place and made an examination of the establishment.

It was found that entrance had been gained by jimmying open a rear door. They at once began operating in a very skillful manner upon tbe safe, which had been opened apparently without a great deal of trouble, with a fiae set of burglars' tools, which were fouul in the store. Mr. Portnondo states that $1000 in notes were left in the safe on Saturday night, and this money has not yet been found, he thieves were searched, but it was not upon their persons. Only $47 were found in Logue's clothing.

It is believed that a confederate got hold of the cash, and slipped away with it, while the two fellows wbo were caught continued their operations in the store. During the administration of Mayor Fox Logue was caught iu a burglarious operation in this city, and was convicted and sentenced to a term of seven years' imprisonment. Chief Givin is of the opinion that the fellows arrested yesterday have 1 eon doing many of the robberi-s recently commuted in Philadelphia. The tools found are of the sum" mike as those found in Friedenberg's pawn flice two weeks ago, wnen thatrobberv wai discovered. Lugud was an associate of Billy Porter and Jimmy Hope, and was with Hope in New York when the latter was captured in that city several months ago.

Tbe deiectives are now trying to ascertain what became of the missing money. Logue say 8 he had it in bis possession, but dropped it in the store when he saw the policeman. The accused will be given a bearing at tbe Central Station to-day before Magistrate Pole. By that time, perhaps, it may be known what became of the cash. Enlarging an Industry.

Messrs. I. L. Cragin Co. gave a reception on Saturday to a number of their friends and patrons on the occasion of the opening of their new soap factory, at Seventeenth and Federal streets, Camden.

The present establishment is considerably larger than the old one, and Offers facilities for soap making on a mucVmore extensive scale. It is of brick, prettjAy pilastered, and stands three stories high, is built in the shape of an the long stepi 0f which, measuring 157 feet by 45, Federal street, while the shorter, 106 teet by 45, overlooks Seventeenth street. at tbe angles a substantial one story structure has been erected for a boiler and engit.e room. At the rear of this is a two-story (Viable and a carriage house. The lot upon which the buildings stand measures 300 feet, on Federal street by 200 on Seventeenth.

It is neatly paved and curbed with granite. The new factory was built under the direction of Mr. W. H. Gessinger, architect, of this city.

The boilers and machi'iery came from the factory of Jacob Naylor, Phi' and each department is" furnisned with a Riehle Bros, standard scales. Furniture-Makers' Vnlon.k. meeting of the Furniture-Makers' Co-operative Union was held yesterday afternoon in Turners Hall, No. 446 North Third street. Mr.

Peter Schmidt occupied the chair. Messrs. Roeser, Bucher and Brase were ap- Eointed a committee to confer with the Up-olsterers and Varnishers' Union. Mr. Oeser referred to the report of the committee presented at the last meeting, and said that $1000 would not be sufficient for tbe establishment of a co operative store.

He also spoke of the advantages of the French plan of co-operation ot 1848, and, on motion, a meet-ii ill be held on next Sunday to consider the said plan. Messrs. Oeser, Bucher, Gradel, Hoffman and Althoen were appointed a Committee on Constitution and By Laws, and, after the transaction of some unimportant business, the meeting adjourned.

I Opening Lecture of Esv. Caauncy Giles' Course on "Natural and Spiritual s' Death and Resurrection" Scientific and Scriptural Views. In the New Jerusalem Church, corner of Broad and Brandywlne streets, Rev. Chaun-cey Giles, pastor, last evening delivered the first of a series of lectures on the subject of "The Natural and Spiritual Death and Resurrection and the Life After Death," the speaker's object being to present, concerning the important questions discussed, clearly stated docerices that shall satisfactorily harmonize both with the Scriptures and with science. The special object of last night's discourse was "The Dissolution of the Material Body, a Provision of the Divine Love and Wisdom for the Increase and Perfection of Human Happiness.

Death and resurrection, he said, are questions which cannot fail to interest every thoughtful mind. Death is a momentous event in our existence, whether it is the end of it, a partial and abnormal interruption of it, or a step forward into a higher condition of life, whether it is a defeat of the Divine purpose lor human good, or a part of the Lord's providence for the perfection of human happiness. If it be a provision of infinite love and wisdom for tbe attainment of our highest good, it will be a great comfort to know it, for it will remove from our minds a fruitful source of fear and sorrow. If any new light has been gained upon this dark, and, to most persons, terrible question, it will be an important service to humanity to make it known. We, of the new church, believe that we have received new light which entirely changes all former opinions concerning its orUin, nature and purpose in the Divine economy; which shows us that death is a friend rather than an enemy, a blessing rather than a curse; that it is Dot caused by sin that it is a link in the chain of providential arrangements for the highest good of every human being.

We believe that this doctrine is taught in the two revelations which the Lord has made to man, the revelation of his word and of his works; that it has the sanction of intelligent reason, and that both the nature of the Lord and she nature of man demand it. It was the purpose of the discourse to set forth the grounds of this belief. He first examined the testimony of the Bible. There are two kinds of death, natural and spiritual. Natural death consists in the dissolution of the material bodv spiritual death in the perversion of all man's spiritual faculties.

The death pronounced upon Adam was spiritual If natural death were meant the punishment was not literally inflicted, for Adam did not die "in the day" he ate of the forbidden fruit. Death was not the punishment with which Eve was threatened. It is true tbe Lord declared that Adam should return uuto the ground, but the reason given was not that he had sinned, but because he was taken from it. His punishment wai that he should eat bread in the sweat of bis face until he returned to the ground. Paul's reference to the curse pronounced upon Adam shows conclusively that tbe death referred to was not the dissolution of the material body.

His words are, "For since by man came death, by man came al-o the resurrection' of the dead. For, as in Adam, all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." The apostle could not mean the death of the material body, for no one is saved from that death by the Lord. There are many passages in the Bible in which death is mentioned, where it is evident tbe death of the material body cannot be meant. The Lord said to the lOIDCIIKS, Ll lUUrDP, tJdC, A VOID DOV tbee this day life and good, death and evil." Iu Jeremiah it is said, "Thus saith the Lord, behold I set before you the way of life and the way of death." The Lord was continually appealing to the Jews to escape from death; "Turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die." His repeated declaration is, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Our Lord said to Martha, "Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Natural death could not be referred to in these and many similar cases. The whole tenor of the Lord's testimony upon the subject, as it is recorded in the Bible, shows conclusively that it was spiritual and not natural death which was caused by sin.

The nature of the Lord's character and his Eurposes in the creation show that it could not ave been his intention that man should live forever in this world. If it had been the earth must in turn have become peopled to the full extent of its capacity to sustain human lite, and I hen the creation of human beings must have ceased. We ere taught in the Bible, both by logical inference and positive precept, that Heaven is a vastly higher state of existence than life in this world can ever be. If mau had lived forever in this world he could not have attained the bigest conditions of happiness. All are logically forced to the conclusion, from this supposition, that man, by disobedience, has gained entrance into a world which is ineffably superior to this, and if he repents of his sins he will be admitted into the light and blessedness of Heaven.

But this idea is too absurd to be admitted by any rational mind. Every attribute of the Diviue nature is opposed to such a supposition. The Lord in His Word and in himself, therefore, stands squarely against the common opinion that the death of the material body was caused by sin. He gives the same testimony in his works. So far as our knowledge extends every living creature organized of matter is limited in the duration of its existence.

It has its laws of birth, growth and decay. There is no exception to this law. Animals have essentially the same organization as man. They have not sinned, and yet they die. Is not this conclusive evidence that it is in the very nature of a material body to reach the maximum of its power, and then decay Tbe testimony of man himself, as embodied in bis spiritual nature, was next adduced.

Man feels his material body to be an incumbrance. He is weighted and restrained by it. He has aspirations which can never be reached in this world. Nothing contents htm. These wants which tha world can never supply are the sure prophesies of another world.

Tbey are the voice of God within us, constantly assuring us that He never intended this world for our permanent home. When the material body has done its work or has become unfit for it by disease, man casts it aside as a worn-out garment. But he lives on in the same form and with the same faculties he possessed before. He rises into a world as much superior to this as tbe mind is superior to the body a world as perfectly adapted to his spiritual nature as this world is to his physical nature. Tbe death of the material body is not, therefore, a curse, it is a blessing.

It is not a punishment, but a provision of the Lord's love for us, that He may bring us nearer to Himielf, and enrich us more largely with the joy and peace of His own love and wisdom.

THE DAY BEFORE. CZOSISO VP TRB Kim FOB TO- MORROW COX TEST. Republican Rallies on Saturday Night Grand Demonstration at the Falls of Schuylkill Senator Wallace at the Academy Trouble Among the Democrats, The leaden of the two great political parties are drawing the lines closely for Tuesday's eon-test, and to-day the active workers will be putting the party machinery Into motion to bring out to morrow the full vote of the respective parties. Saturday night witnessed the closing of the campaign, so far as public meetings are concerned. The Republicans of the Falls of Schuvlkill and Manayunk turned out in their strength, the former In Odd Fellows' Hall, acd the latter at Masonic Hall.

Both buildings were literally packed. The meeting at the Falls was organized by the selection of Mr. James Dobson as president, who introduced Colonel William B. Mann, as the first speaker of the evening. Colonel Mann made an eloquent and forcible address.

He began by a reference to the action of the Confederate members of Congress, and the coercive aotioi which they adopted against President Hayes. "But the Republican party," said the speaker, as at his back ready to uphold him if he did right, and doing right we are proud of him." Mr. Mann referred to the contest in Maine, Ohio and California, and closed by urging his beerers to bring out all their friends on election day. General Wagner followed Colonel Mann. He said that during the campaign be had determined to confine his remarks to local matrers p.

a hi Voarers had probablv noticed that he bad tread upon some people's toes. He was afraid that if the campaign was to last a week longer he wouldn't know about what to speak, for the reason that he was first begged not to fling the bloody shirt, and not to talk about California, Ohio and the other States, and then when he obliged them in that respect, and confined himself to local affairs, that didn't suit. General Wagner then called attention to the fact that the greatest drawback at the coming election was general apathy. "People think that this thing will carry itself, but I tell you. gentlemen, it won't.

You have had your differences here at the Falls, and you must wipe them out You have good men to vote for, and it is your dutv to vota for them. Get out all your friends and see tint they vote. When these people appeal to you on the strength of their being reformers, you just tell them you are united for the protection of the flag under which we fought so hard during the dark days of the rebellion." Ex Governor Pollock, Judge Kelley and Hon. Edward McPhersou also made addresses, and the meeting closed. The clubs of the ward paraded during the evening, and a display of fireworks took place.

The Manayunk meeting was presided over by Dr. Henry N. Ub.Jer, who introduced Judge William D. Kelley. Toe latter mads one of his telling speeches on protection, contrasting tne deplorable condition of the workingciasses in Europe with the happy condition of our laborers.

The judge was heartily applauded at the conclusion of his address The next speech was by Rufus E. Shapley, and he was followed by Christian Kneass, Hon. William B. Mann and General Wagner. The Republicans of Holmesburg also met In mass meeting on Saturday evening and listened to the issues of the campaign discussed by local orators.

"The principal meeting of the Democracy was at the Academy of Music, where Senator Wallace delivered an address on the political issues of the day. The stage was filled with prominent Democrats, and the centre of the parquet was occupied by the Americus Club. Mr. Henry D. Welsh introduced the orator of the evening.

Senator Wallace commenced by deprecating the course of the Republicans in bringing national issues into the campaign, and said it was done to bide their wrong doings at home. Then, after charging corrup tion in the Republican party, the speaker said that the want of individual thought, as applied to municipal affairs, was what was troubling the people here. There was too much centralization. Mr. Wallace said the Democrats would go into the connest of 1880 without being handicapped with frauds in Oregon, New York or elsewhere, and then referring to the possible candidate, he said: "if it is to be Bayard, the spotless, ever the advocate of home rule against corrupt govern meat; if it be Hancock, the gallant soldier; or McOlel-lan, or Thurman or Hendricks whoever it is it will be no trickster." The name of Bayard was greeted with more applause than the others.

When cries came from all parts of the bouse "How about Tilden?" the speaker evaded a reply, and closed with a general denunciation of the situation in Pennsylvania. As the Americus Club was passing the Union Club House, at Eleventh and Chestnut streets, the latter association had a salute fired from a t-niali cannon on the roof of their building. At one of the discharges the piece burst, and the colored man who fired it off was knocked down a flight of Btairs, but was not seriously injured. Pieces of the cannon fell into Eleventh street, but fortunately no one was injured. The Democratic magistrates have been taxed pretty heavily this campaign.

The new committee levied an assessment of $90 on each. The old committee levied $75, and now demand an additional assessment of $30, making on that side a total of $105. Mr. Charles S. Austin, of the Eleventh Ward, has been interviewed.

Mr. Austin was a candidate for City Treasurer on the Democratic ticket. He claims to have been sold out by Cassidy, McGowan and says he would have got all the delegates from nearly twenty-tbree wards were it not for an edict which went out threatening to discharge every clerk in t.hd Controller's Office if the? did not turn in for S. Davis Page, and every fireman if he did not work up his division for Cassidy's candidate. There is considerable gossip in Democratic circles over the action of McGo wau's City Com-niittee in naming a "slate" for the Magistrates' Convention in December next, and the row which followed the throning out of the name of Deputy Sheriff Cantlin.

It seems that at the meeting on Thursday nfgbt last it was agreed to name but eight men for magistrates, for the reason that if more were nominated there would be so much cut-tine of tickets upon election day that the party would suffer in the obtaining of election officers. The eight selected were Hugh Collins, of the Second Ward, whose commission as one of the old time aldermen has just expired; William W. Dougherty, of the Fifth Ward, also an alderman until recently Thomas H. Clark, of the Twenty-fourth Ward, one of the present committing maeistrates; T. Sprole Leisenring, of the Tenth Ward, also a committing magistrate; Richard J.

Lennon, of the Ninth Ward, a deputy in the Sheriff's Office; John J. McDevitt, of the Twelfth Ward, a deputy in the Sheriff's Office; Clifford I. Cad-waiader, of the First Ward, a clerk in the City Controller's Office, and John Gormley, of the Nineteenth Ward, a clerk in the City Controller's Office. Following the setting up of this "slate" and the throwing overboard of Deputy Sheriff Cantlin. of the Third Ward, the most of the committee repaired to Patterson's saloon, where Cantlin and Fire Commissioner Hag-gerty cau.e to blows.

The latter is said to Ears been so severely injured that he has baen confined to his borne ever since, Cantlin Christ it is which, teaches us to bear one another's burdens. The Good Samaritan, instead of hurting the man's pride, slips the money delicately into his Uod bless tbe nobie-heartcd philanthropists who stand ready atthe switch to turn young men into the paths of industry and Sabbath observance. Sometimes a small lift is very, timely. Kind words cost little, ana go, on, so iar. iney neip When we grow pale with discouragement at seeming failure let us reach up our hands and Christ will help us.

The last text is the crowning Jewel of all. It leads us up to the Divine help, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord." Many a man under a heavy load of bereavement or responsibility has cast his burden on the Lord. It is the duty of a pastor to preach to his people day and night, and then leave the result to God. Casting our burden on the Lord is an exercise of faith. No matter how small the burden it is not beneath Christ's notice.

We trust the government at Washington every day by taking its notes. We distrust the Court of Heaven by not accepting its promises. Sin is tbe losd which staggers tbe giant.

William Duncan, representing the ownership of the tube works at Filbert street and the river Schuylkill, applied on Saturday before Judges Hare, Mitchell and Fell in Court No. 2, for an injunction against the Pennsylvania Railroad. Massrs. Todd and Sellers appeared as counsel for the complainant, and MacVeagh and Chapman Biddle for the Railroad Company.

The argument on the part of the complainant was quite lengthy. Counsel quoted numerous au thorities by which they alleged that the company were not permitted to occupy the highway nor to build the bridge, and especially called attention to one of the sections in the new Constitution by which it was assarted that no corporation could occupy property for its purposes whereby injury was done to premises adjacent thereto, without compensation for the damage sustained. Tbe counsel for th defendants, in reply. alleged that by specific statute there was no consequential damages chargeable to the company, and even if there were that would be a question for a higher tribunal than this, and that it was not the mode, were the allegation correct, to obtain a remedy. But over and above this consideration the company claimed the right to extend tbe road to the Delaware river in whatever mode, whether crossing streets, extending longitudinally along the highways, or passing through private property, as would in the judgment of the directors best subserve the public interests and promote the prosperity of the company by more than one act of Assembly, more particularly, however, by act autnonzing tne sale oi tne ma line, in which the right of extension allu ded to is mentioned in connection with the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, a without qualification; that the company had paid $7,500,000 in the purchase, covering this particular privilege; that it was not in the nature of a grant, but a positive right bought and paid for, and thus became a contract purchase, stronger than merely a franchise extended by act of Assembly, and quoting a number of authorities sustaining the position taken, especially tbe celebrated Pittsbursr case, in which this subject was clearly set forth by the decrees of the Supreme Court.

At this point of the argument the court adjourned, appointing to day for a continuation of the hearing. An Encomium on the Health Office, Dr. E. J. Doering, who had been surgeon in charge of the United States Marine Hospital Service at this port, left the city on Saturday for Portland, Maine, where be is to be stationed in the same position for a year.

To an Inquirer reporter on Saturday he observed: "It there is one department the people of this city should be satisfied with it the Health Office. What your Board of Health may be when street cleaning contracts and such matters are In question I do not know, hut I am sure that the affairs of the Health Offbe proper are not administered with more efli ciency at any place in and I could not, indeed, mention a single city where they are so satisfactory." As Dr Doering has spent periods at every city of prominence in this country, and is a gentleman of excellent private and professional judgment, the encomium is one of which the health authorities will doubtless feel proud. Theatre Managers vs. Ticket Scalpers. The right of a manager to interfere with the operations of the ticket scalpers in front of a theatre seems likely to be argued in one of the higner courts.

Manager Schoeffel, of the Park Theatre, about two weeks ago, at the instance of several gentlemen who had suffered at the hands of the speculators, ordered the arrest of one of them named Carmen. At a hearing before Magistrate Pole the defendant was held in $500 bail. The case is now awaiting its turn at court. Carmen, on Saturday, had a Sheriff's capias issued for the arrest of Mr. Schoeffel on the charge of false imprisonment.

The manager of the Park Theatre entered bail for his appearance this morning. The Bishop Recovering. A telegram from this city, which appeared yesterday in the New York Herald, stated that Bishop Stevens, who has been ill for several months, was lying very low and bis death was momentarily expected. The statement was incorrect in every particular. The bishop is slowly but surely recovering from his illness, and expects in a short time to be able to resume his duties.

Yesterday he was much better than he had been for a long time. passing in tne rear wno dtokb ana ran, loose in front quickly following.

The chief of pa-lice of Rochester on Saturday sent a telegram to (Chief Givin, asking him to arrest John Wilson If be offered a draft for $487 03 at the Manufacturers' Bank in this city, which had been given by the Commercial National Bank of Rochester on the American Exchange Bank of New York, It was alleged that it had been procured by fraud. Chief Detective Tryon went to the Manufacturers' Binkandar-rested Wilson. He stated that he had cj jie to this city to purchase woolen yarns, being engaged in a manufacturing business in Rochester.

He had purchased goods from Mr. McKee and Mr. Stokes, and had paid the latter by draft, receiving in settlement of his bill a check. Upon returning to Mr. Stokes' store to secure identification at bank, he learned that there was trouble about the draft, and immediately returned to the Manufacturers' Bank to adjust the difficulty, when he was arrested.

Wilson was taken before Magistrate Pole at the Central Station, and committed to await a requisition from Rochester, which is now on the way here with an officer. College Foot Ball, The boys from Yale College played their first game of foot ball and won their first victory of the season over the University of Pennsylvania team, at the St. George's cricket ground, Hoboken, on Saturday. Neither team was in first class form, the Keystone boys being particularly ill prepared to battle with Yale, tbe result of which was that the Pennsylvania were kept continually on the defensive, and, with the exception of one or two little spurts, the game was a tame one, ending in a score of 3 goals and 5 touchdowns for Yale, against 0 for the Uni versity.

"the Poetry of Astronomy." -The fourth of this season's Star Course series will take place this evening at the Academy of Music The occasion will be devoted to a new lecture on astronomy, by the famous astronomical scholar, Professor Richard A. Proctor, who has recently arrived in this country on a second visit, and who makes to-night his first appearance since his return. The subject of the distinguished professor's discourse this evening is one fully calculated to employ largely his exceptional knowledge and talents as a public speaker. It is entitled 'The Poetry of Astronomy." It proposes to give a study of the chief discoveries in this most interesting science, with special reference to their poetical significance, showing that the poetry of astronomy is not inconsistent with exact scientific research, while enhancing its value as a means of mental and moral research.
