Lano went before Magistrate Smith and made an affidavit. This set forth that Mr. Lane had been informed by Cashier White and expected to bo able to prove that Hooper had appropriated moneys to his own use belonging to the Trust, received by him in his capacity as clerk, amounting to over 1,000. A warrant was prepared and given to Officer Trcfts, who has known Hooper from boyhood. Hooper's family hiive been residing at Franklin and Spring Garden streets.

It was known that Hooper had been out of the city for months past, and had been in Chicago part of the tune. Officer 1 retts, in going along Eighth street, near Race, about half past II o'clock, encountered Hooper, who is about 35 vears old. wilh dark hair and side whiskers. He was immediately arrested. Ho made no resistance, but piteously begged to be released.

When he reached the Central Station he broke down, and seating himself in a chair began crying and wringing his hands the picture of abject woe. He asked that his wife should be sent for. When approached by reporters Hooper declined to say anything about his alleged embezzlements and declared that ho had not been out of the city. He trembled and wept freely. Magistrate Smith had left his office by this time, but had fixed the hail on the warrant at $1,000.

Trustee Lane said he had nothing further to add to what had been published in The Times regarding Hooper's transactions, which had involved himself as bondsman. Mr. Lano said he had been Hooper's security before becoming a GasTrus teo and had then told Mui'to get another bondsman. Hooper delayed on one excuse or another, finally running away. Mr.

Lane said he believed Mr. White, the expert who examined the accounts, had discovered a deficiency of in Hooper accounts so fur. A COLORED BOY'S CONTENTION. Appealing to the Supreme Court to Gain Admission to a White School. Springer Brown Manaway, a colored youth of tho borough of Uniontown, Fayette county, was refused admittance to the borough school in September last.

His father claimed that it was becauso of the boy's color and brought suit against tho directors. The latter replied that the boy had been refused admission only becauso ho was not qualified to enter. Thare was a colored public school in the ward, hut Mr. Manaway did not choose to send his son there, because it was too distant. An alternative mandamus was directed against the directors and this was followed hy a peremptory mandamus commanding them to admit young Manaway into the white school.

Tho board refused to do so, and the Court awarded an attachment against them for attempt. A writ of error had previously been applied for, and the matter yesterday came before the Supreme Court. Counsel for the directors there argued that the court below was in error in proceeding with the caso after the application for the writ of error from the decision of the lower court in awarding a peremptory mandamus. The matter was held under advisement. The Law Regarding Accomaiodntion Paper.

Jtidfe Kloock yesterday delivered an opinion in commercial law on a rule taken by the Third National Bank for judgment against Hugh H. MeCann upon two accommodation notes, given by hiin to Bonnet, Cross that came into the hands of the bank. MeCann made the defense that the notes had been given by him upon the fraudulent representation by Cross that the firm was solvent. The Judge, in making the rule absolute, said Accomniodatiou puper is made for the immediate raising of money and must necessarily go into the hands of a third party, an innocent holder, for value, and therefore whether the indorser was solvent or not cannot ailect the character in hich the maker creates the naner. Hie solvency of the indorser is not necessary to the legality or bona tides ot negotiable puper.

Gambetta has been immensely worried by the unfounded report that his journey to Italy was undertaken for the purpose of getting married.

He met in Taris a wealthy Italian widow, tho Countess Revaloni, and was so charmed with her intelligence that he accepted an invitation to visit her at "some fair villa on the Lako of Como which was one of her many possessions. No sooner had his whereabouts become known than his newspaper enemies at once asserted that he had been privately married, and they proceeded to rake up all the little gallantries and matrimonial negotiations in which Gambetta has hitherto been concerned and have made the memory of his Italian visit as gall and wormwood on his tongue. JAMES P. SIMS DEAD. The Sudden Death oi a Well known Younj Philadelphia Architect.

James P. Sims, the architect, while sitting iu his office, 50( Walnut street, yesterday afternoon, talking with two of his assistants, suddenly uttered a cry of "Oh and fell from his chair upon tho floor. Physicians were summoned from the Philadelphia Dispensary, near at hand, but their services were not required. Death had been instantaneous, the result, it is supposed, of heart disease. His health had beeu usually good, though he had complained of a slight indisposition during the past few days.

Mr. Sims was but 32 years of age. but was well and widely known both iu his profession and in society. He was educated at tho University of Pennsylvania and studied architecture with his oldest brother, the late Henry Augustus Sims. Ho had already done a good deal of important work, of which the church at Twenty second and Spruce streets and one or two important insurance buildings down town arc prominent examples, lie had also designed a great deal of important interior decoration, the recent improvements at the Church of the Holy Trinity, for instance, having been under his charge.

He was a man of refined artistic tastes and of careful technical culture, and he was recognized as one of the rising men in his profession, lie was an enthusiastic musician and his high tenor voice was familiar to all attendant at the concerts of the Orpheus Club, of which he wus one of the original members. Ho was an oiliccr also of the Cecilian and other musical organizations and in amateur musical circles, in this and neighboring cities, no men were belter known than he and his elder brother aud life long comrade, John Sims, secretary of the Pennsylvania Itailroad. He was unmarried, but the. announcement of his engagement to the young daughter of a well known citizen was made but a few weeks ago. His early death is a real loss, not only to his immediate friends, but to the community, for he was a man of uncommon capacity as well as of attractive personal qualities, and its awful suddenness will make the blow tho more severely felt.

Mr. Sims' body was removed to the homo of his brother in law, Dr. W. S. Forties, on Locust street, with whom ho has recently lived.

THE GALE COLLEC'XIOX. A Well Known Picture Dealer's Announcement of His Closing Sale. A crowd of people gathered before a window on Chestnut street, above Eleventh, yesterday arrested the attention of every passer by, and those who could not get a sight of what was in the window pressed their way in at the door, only to encounter a greater crowd inside. The attraction was Mr. Gale's collection ot pictures, which have been placed on exhibition before their sale by auction during this week.

Mr. Gale is a picture dealer who, though ho has been in tho business in Philadelphia for a long time, has very seldom hold an auction sale here. Ho buys and sells pictures of a better class than those commonly met with in the auction room, and there are very few out of the largo number he now exhibits that are not worth buying at fair prices. A good many of them will bring large prices, but thiw! are also many that are likely to lie sold for less than they are worth, for r. Gale announces his intention of quitting business and closing out everything he has on hand.

Tho picture in the window that attracted the crowd yesterday was J. G. Brown's "Passing Show a wonderfully clever group of American urchins looking intently out of tho canvas, a though the circus were going down Chestnut street. Beside it was a bright picture from Munich, of a girl with a flock of geese, aud in tho other window were one of Van Schendel's popular candle light pictures, and a particularly nice one, mid a gorgeous group of roses by Lambdin. These were fair samples of the attractive features of the collection, which includes both American and foreign pictures of various schools and of all kinds ol subjects.

A full catalogue of the collection is published elsewhere. It is well worth a visit, and the sale will command tho attention of picture buyers. A Monkey's Tongue and Frog's Lung.

The most interesting and exciting game of base ball played in Philadelphia since the famous contests between the old Athletic, Atlantic and Jted Stocking Clubs was the one at Oak dale Park yesterday, when the Athletic and Philadelphia teams met for the first time. Teams playing under those titles were rivals in Philadelphia a dozen years ago and now that there is a revival of public interest in the game the old rivalry crops out again. Nearly 10,000 people saw the game, no less than buying tickets at the gates, while a thousand or two more were gathered on neighboring housetops, fences and trees. So many boys make a practice of viewing games in the park from a cluster of trees on the west side that the managers of the park determined to stop it and the trunks of the trees were yesterday morning treated to a thick coat of coal tar. This preveuted the boys from shinning up the trees, but a good ua tured gypsy, who is camped near by, gave them a rope, by means of which they soon mounted to the upper limbs.

Of tho great multitude it would have been difficult to find a hundred who were net prejudiced in favor of one or other of the contesting clubs. The cheering and applause was almost continuous from the time the game began until it ended. In the early part of the game the friends of the Athletic Club were most sanguine, and their yelling could be heard squares away as their favorites added run after run to their score and at the same time kept their opponents from scoring. HOW THE CLUBS PLAYED. Neither Noagle nor Morris played with the Philadelphia team and it was feared by their friends that the nine was not strong enough to cope successfully with the Athletic team.

Foster, a new and by the way strong" acquisition to the nine, played at second base and did excellent work, assisting three times and putting out six men. Gardner pitched and Straub caught behind the bat. Gardner pitching was at times a tritle wild and Straub's inability to throw swiftly and surely to the second base had tho effect of weakening the team, but lake it al 1 around they played a capital uphill game. The Athletic toam played a splendid fielding game, hut wero outbattcd in tho eighth inning, when the visitors got in four runs and tied the game, the score standing 6 to 6. The excitement was intense and every play was cheered to the echo by the friends of one side or the other.

The Athletic team was whitewashed in the ninth inning and two of the Philadelphia men were out, when Latham got to first on a safe hit and stole to second. At that point in the game Cork hill made a strong base hit, bringing Latham home and scoring the needed run. He turned a triumphant flip flap on the home plate and before he recovered his breath the excited crowd surged over the field, and, seizing him, raised him on and kept him there some time. The air was filled with hats and men yelled and embraced each other as though they were mad. Cork hill was also surrounded by a great crowd, who cheered him to tho echo.

Thomas Carey, of Baltimore, was the umpire and the play was as follows THE GAME. FiiiST Inning The Athletic was first at the bat. Dorgan, the first batsman, went out on a foul bound to Straub. Say hit to McClellau. who threw him out at first base.

Open air sports have quite filled up the week that ended yesterday in the circle of fashion and the small world that catches on behind. There has been very little entertainment indoors, a few dinners, a few receptions and nothing more. Spring has roused more active ener giesthan that of vegetable growth, and thepcoplo who have been leading an embroidered boudoir ball room conservatory existence through the winter are fast turning out in the saddle or behind the dashboard or with racquet or bat in hand as vigorous and fresh as daisies and as strong aud sturdy as tho leonine sunflower. The weather, although backward, has not been altogether deterrent, and by making the opportunities for out of door gayety the rarer, given them the greater zest, on tho principle that "sweets grown common lose their dear delight." The suburbs of Philadelphia have never worn a fairer guise, and wealth has been lavishly expended to adoru and make more inviting the country homes, where so many people of means speud the intermediate months between the periods of social lethargy in the city and the height of tho brilliant season at the watering places and great summer resorts. Mr.

Henry C. Gibson's new country home, at Wynnwood, a grauito summer palace, fitted with every accessory of comfort and beauty that a dwelling needs, is furnished and will soon be occupied. Families are moving out daily and more. have made all their arrangements. In a week or so Mr.

A. Loudon Suowdcn and family and Mr. Charles Mather and family are expected to remove to Haverford. Mr. I.

Wistar Brown and family have moved to their lovely house at Villanova. The hotel at Bryn Mawr will open this week and promises to be crowded. Ardniore, near by, is also filling up, and among recent additions to its summer population have been Dr. Smith and his family, including his two charming daughters, who have a garden party in anticipation. Dr.

S. D. Kisley and family have gone to "Weuo nah." Mr. Edward lioherts will this week occupy the lovely place at Koseiiiont he recently purchased from Mrs. Wister.

Mr. Frank Drexe'l and family have gone to Torresdale. Mr. and Mrs. A.

J. Dallas Dixon at Ardniore have scntout their cards for Wednesdaysduringthe nextthreo weeks. Mr. and Mrs. George W.

Childshavo also sent out cards, telling the dates when they will be at home" to friends at Wootteu." There has been more riding already this spring iu Philadelphia than ever before in any season of the city's history. The demand for fine saddle horses, especially the stylish English cob trained to arch his neck and step high, is something unprecedented. Dr. S. Weir Mitchcl, a great rider himself, who has done as much to encourage all kinds of athletic exercises as any other one man in Philadelphia, has lately taken to prescribing riding for dyspeptics and ladies afflicted with nervous troubles and other physicians aro doing tho same.

Tho consequence is that not only is riding tho fashionable rage aud hundreds engage iu it for pleasure who never thought about it before, but great numbers of people now ride from a sense of duty and look to their ride as they formerly did to their medicine bottle when taken to be well shaken." It is a strange sight to the Quaker City.that of the gaily caparisoned horses and ladies' fancy habits and gentlemen's bright colored corduroys which now form a parloftheregularequestrian spectacle. Font largo ri ling schools have beeu in full blast for some time. The Philadelphia liiding Club, the crack organization of the kind, has had great accessions to its membership. Nearly everyone in the fashionable quarter remaining in the city and at all at home in the saddle has been "a cheval" every fair day the past week. Tho turnout of ladies, especially of striking figures heretofore unknown to the bridle paths, has been remarkable.

The Misses HardinsT. of South Seventeenth street, whose, elegant horses arc so often seeu driven to village carts, have come out this season in the saddle and tho Misses SI urgis are now also numbered among tho equestrian elect. Miss Seidell, ou her racy marc, ''Kate;" Miss Warhurton ou her hay, Miss Lizzie Price and Miss Lea, of ltfil Pino street, both particularly graceful riders, and Miss McAH may be seen almost daily, with escort or in parties, going a pas degeant," as the latest fashionable horseback pace is called. Miss Easton, of tho Aldine Hotel, rides extremely well, and so do Miss Xewbold, Miss Diehl, Miss Keating, Miss Hubbell, Miss Amy P. lioherts.

Miss Hacker and Miss Calii crwood, who is one of the most promising of the many young amateur riders. Miss Bessie Sharpless, probably the most daring and skillful rider across country after hare and hounds, has recently beeu missed, and tho absence of Mr. Edward Wain, of Cheltenham, the fearless steeplechaser, well known on the turf as "Mr. St. James," bus been similarly conspicuous.

Iu some of the most daring dashes across country in past seasons Miss Sharpless and Mr. Wain have almost invariably been in the lead. They have ridden aud kept so well together that it has led to greater things and their marriage is announced to take place early iu June One of the most noticeable mounts of tho past few days has been that of Mrs. Meredith Norris. She rides "Frank," who won the steeplechase at Rose Tree on Thursday, on which occasion his rider was Master Xorris, her son, who docs not seem to know what fear means.

Mrs. F. Smyth, one of tho finest riders seen in the Park, was accompanied yesterday by Miss Melville, a young lady visiting her from New York, who makes a fino appearance. Miss Wilson, of lOOti Arch street, a very fine rider; Miss English, of 2030 Spruce street, Miss Koons and Miss Conner, who often go together, and Miss Filler, on her gelding, Tempest," are all frequent riders in tho Park. Tho flights for Europo increase and every day is marked by farewell parties of relatives and friends bidding the voyagers adieu x.

The Illinois, of the American Line, yesterday, among others, took out Mr. Thomas McKean and family. Mrs. Thoitroa, who also went, goes to visit her sister, who was formerly Miss Longstreth, of this city, now the wifo of an English gentleman of distinction. Miss Longstreth, who was possessed of great intelligence and beauty, occupied a position in the United States Mint.

Mrs. Bloonifield Moore, who is also now in Europe, took a great fancy to her and desired particularly to arrange a marriageof the young lady to one of her own family. Partly with that end in view she took her with her to Europe a few years ago. An Englishman visiting Philadelphia had seen the young lady in tho Mint and fallen in love wilh her, and discovering thnt sho was going to Europe, he took passage on the sumo steamer, proposed and was accepted. Among tho other passengers on tho Illinois were Mr.

and Mrs. Hutchinson and tho Misses Hutchinson, numbering eight in all, Mm. Stephen A. Caldwell and Mrs. David Jayno and her two sons, Dr.

Horace F. Jayno and Mr. II. La 11. Jaync.

Society has not lost entirely the spark of festivity, and a few little affairs have been going on. Miss Sharpless had a reception for ladies during the week, and Mr. William 11. Eawlo gave a handsoino dinner on Friday evening to a party of ladies and gentlemen. The wedding of Mr.

Charles Henry tho well known Philadelphia family of that name, to Miss Ucbecca Gibson GrosholU, which took place on Wednesday at St. James' Ch inch, although very quiet, attracted considerable attention. Mr. and Sirs. Packard, of Spruce street the bride was Miss McLain having returned from their wedding tour, gave a reception from lour to soven ou Friday.

On Tuesday there will be a social meeting ol the Jefferson College Alumni and ou Wednesday Dr. Samuel Gross, whoso "stag parties" urg always lively affairs, will give a luncheon to the American Surgical Association, of which ho is the president, The City Troop turned out yesterday for inspection, a noble army, seventeen strong. At least three or four times that number was expected, and they looked like a forlorn hope. Never were there seen martial forma moro plumply padded, niuslaches better trained or white unmentionables more pure and spotless. Like the army of tho King of France, that inarched up a hill and then marched down again, they rodo to tho Strawberry II ill paradu ground, blew several bugle blasts, drew sabres, nodded gallanlly nt the several hundred girls in tho carriages drawn up, who testified their love of war and carnage hy wearing hlood rcd dresses, crimson feathers and iucaruudiiio parasols, aud (hen tho seventeen chasseurs, wilh their tirailleurs, rode home again.

The display of equipages was superb, and Sir. Fairinan Rogers' tally ho was overflowing with beauty, framed in luco trimnicd parasols. A Harem in a Musical Conservatory Empress Eugenie Wins Her Lawsuit. The gleaners of gossip about the late royal English wedding still find plenty to talk about and not a little to laugh over. The charge of the wedding ring was entrusted to the Prince of Wales, but he became so alisorbed in the impressive ceremony that he forgot all about it, and Leopold had to turn round and ask for it.

When it was produced it was discovered by the nervous little bridegroom that it was too small for the bride's finger, and he had to seize her by the wrist aud absolutely force the ring to its place a rather significant occurrence under the circumstances. Leopold was very much flustered and Helena repeated her portion of the service with a marked German accent in her English. Her father is not so princely in his wealth as he is in pedigree and respectability, and her dower, like that of her three other married sisters, is precisely twelve hundred dollars a year. Tun vioixts with which the bridesmaids' dresses were looped up almost threw' the superstitious Iiritish dowagers into spasms, as the violet, except among the Uouaparles, is regarded more as a mournful thau as a festive flower, and immediate bad luck was predicted. The "I told you so" brigade had their innings iu less" than three days, for on the Sunday morning following the wedding the death was announced of the bride's older sister.

Princess Marie, wife of Prince William of Wurtemberg, and the only one of Helena's immediate family who was not present at the wedding. She con fined on the day of the weddingand neithcrmothercor child survived. Had she lived it is possible she might have been a queen, as Trince William is the heir of the childless King Charles of Wurtem burg. The next youngest sister is Queen Umma of Holland, and Helena is near enough the English throno to make her alliance a very flattering one, and the success of Pupa and Mamma Wul deck with their daughters proves that good health, good disposition and good bringing up" count as much in a girl's favor among the royal houses of Europe as they do among the plainest republicans, money in no sense entering into the question, for all the daughters alike had but their little twelve hundred a year. Kikr William of Holland and his wife attracted more attention in England than all the rest of the bride's relatives.

The King because he has been in his day "one of the hoys" and rather cherishes the distinction, and the Queen because she is a beauty and a darling iu every sense of the word, young and good natured and one of the best dancers and most charming companions iu the generally still' and dismal coterie of royalty. The old gentleman, to he sure, is nearly three times his wife's uge, she being twenty three while he is sixty six, but he bears his years well and makes an admirable husband for his second wife, iu spite bf tho exceedingly free and easy style of life which characterized his earlier years and which was repeated with exaggerated grossucss and conspicuous indecency by his oldest son, the late Prince of Orange, better known hy his Parisian soubriquet of Lemons," who hurried himself to a premature grave by notorious and nameless profligacies which for years outraged tho by no means squeamish society of the French capital. In his earliest years King William was almost as much of a musical enthusiast as Louis of Bavaria. At eighteen he heard Malibrau for the first time, long after her wonderful success iu America and after her New York husband had lost his money and been discarded. She was then neiiriiig the bewitching period of "trente ans," and was at the climax of her artistic ca reer.

The Prince was seized wilh an infinite passion and fondly imagined it was to be eternal. Ho used to disguise himself and play the tiddlo in the orchestra when Mali bran sang in opera. When her divorce was settled lie seriously prepared to marry her as soon as he came of age. But his long headed old father was a diplomatist aud induced Mali bran to marry De Buriot, the famous violinist, who was at that time capcliueister at the Court of Holland and had been the Prince's instructor in music. Young William persisted iu his devotion so conspicuously that Malibran finally left The Hague and went to London, where she was taken ill and died.

The Prince, plunged in the profoundest melancholy, sought consolation in improvising the most heart rending laments and dirges and tortured tho strings of his violin as persistently as he did the ears of his exasperated relatives. In this anxious and aimless state, at the age of twenty two, William was persuaded to marry the Princess Sophio of Wurtemburg and for ten years they got along comfortably, though not with marked congeniality. On the death of his father, in 18 19, he succeeded to the throne, and, being but little more than thirty, he proceeded to cut looso from his somewhat enforced domesticity, ordered a latch key for his own use aud concluded to run the administration himself. He surrounded himself with all the luxuries which the enormous private fortune of seventy million dollars left him by his father enabled him to command, and, of course, music was his hobby. His preference was altogether for vocal music, and he was particularly fond of female voices.

He had very little use for tenors, baritones or bassos, but a good looking woman, with fair vocal powers, was practically certain of a more or less lusting engagement in tho King's corps of artistes, and for his favorites things were made very pleasant. In fact, his sober Dutch sub jects were perpetually scandalized by thegoings on at is Chateau of Loo, and for some years prior to his first wife's death the royal couple lived apart. Ten ora dozen years ago William founded a very remarkable conservatory of music, in fact one of tho most cheerful institutions for the promotion of art which has yet been established. There were a great many female teachers, societuires and pensioners in fact, about as many as there were pupils; but true to the first infatuation of his life, the King ordered that tho chief prize should bo a gold medal set with diamonds and bearing tho name of Malibran. The conservatory was not estab lished at Tho Hague on account of William's careful deference to the honest and virtuous prejudices of his subjects, hut ho set it up in Brussels, and tor a good many years ho passed a largo part of his timo in that epitome of Paris, while his scapegrace son was running riot in a less refined and less retiring manner in Paris, itself.

Madamo Musard, tho notorious Petroleum Princess, as sho was called, was one of William's particular pets. Ho gave her a great colonial estate in Guiana and laughingly one day turned over to her the certificates of stock in a petroleum company which were supposed to bo worthless, hut which, in a very short time, turned out to he immensely valuable and which she sold forafor; tune. This circumstance led to Madame Musard being frequently spoken of as an American woman, which was an error. Sho was French and her oil wells were in tho Dutch Central Amer ican colonies. Hut Musard, Emily Amine and a score or moro of lesser divinities held high carnival for a couple of years after Queen Sophie's death, in 1877, and were finally warned to pack off and be gone, when the not Inconsolable widower induced Princess Emma of Waldeck to share his magnificent palaces in 1871).

Ho had then passod tho ago of sixty and had a very active gout, and was, on the whole, ready to give up the extreme gayetiesof life and settle down for an exemplary married man. His young wife has homo him a daughter and he is particularly anxious for a son, becauso his heir, Prince Alexander, the only living child of his former marriage, is the victim of a painful and prospectively fatal disease. EuoENirc has just been making a visit in France for tho apparent purposo of picking up the odds and cuds of properly coming to her as the hoiross of her husband and son.

Tho annual regatta of the Crescent Boat Club, which took place on the Schuylkill yesterday afternoon, was a successful and interesting aquatic amateur exhibition. An unusually largo assemblage ol pooplo witnessed tho races. All along the courso on the eastern shore the bank was fringed with an unbroken lino of spectators, who yelled themselves hoarse in their enthusiasm. At Turtle Hock, where Judgo Phillips was stationed with the "dip" flag, at least a thousand peoplo a dozen deep stood in the warm spring sun and watched the boats as they passed the judge's stand. At three o'clock the steamer Belmont, with Commodore Keys, of the Schuylkill Navy, the umpire of the races, in the bow, and a party of ladies and gentlemen aboard, proceeded to the starting point.

At 3.30 the first race, double scull shells, started, both crews getting oil' in good form, and for tho first half mile the boats were "nose and nose." Then, with a fine spurt, Steel and Milli ken shot ahead of Wallace and Phillips and kept tho lead to the finish, winning by three lengths. Timo, (i minutes 36 seconds. In tho second race, junior four oared shells, which started at 4 o'clock, Q. F. Lasher's crew showed their superiority over 1).
