Detective Rowland saw Asbury Bover, colored, attempting to pick the pocket of a man at 2 o'clock yesterday morning at Sixth and Chestnut streets.

He admitted leaving prison four months ago, and being recognized as a Alderman Carpenter sent him to Moya mensing for ninety days.

Albert Pleasant, colored, will have a further hearing to day on the charge of robbing a lady of her pocket book, at Broad and Race streets, on Monday night. At Sixth and Chestnut streets, on Monday night, John Gibson and John Henry were arrested while attempting to appropriate the valuables of others.

CONTINUED FBOM FIRST PAGE. the Turks, brnshed np for the occasion, together with the more tasteful, but not so striking raiment of the Brazilians, Swedes, with dottings here and there of many of the clanish and still enthusiastic SchuetzenDund, made np a kaleidoscopic view worth looking at. In the vale near to Horticultural Hall many of the Germans were congregated, and gave occasional proofs of supreme indifference to THE BEOILINO SITN by sonorous outbursts oi Rhenish melody.

The cafes, restaurants, and wherever a cosy seat was to be purchased, though the price thereof was costly, imbibition necessary, or patronage of the gustatory art, were speedily occupied. With respect to the French cafes, Director Goshorn's order, prohibiting the proprietors from urging visitors to make purchases, or requesting said visitors to quit the premises in the event of their not purchasing anything, was carried out to the letter, and for one day at least since the opening of the Exposition strangers were treated to an experience of Parisian suavity gratis. The absence of almost any perceptible Breeze and the insufferable heat of the sun made the presence of so many people on the grounds very marvelous, and the perseverance which characterized their stay in the bakiue oven made it apparent that the poor meu at least, who were represented in large majority of all others, had made up their minds to make a day of it, even at the cost of martyrdom. Some thirty five living relics of THE WAR WITH MEXICO were on the grounds in the afternoon, the main body having departed early in the day to join in the demonstration at the State House, and were wined, dined and toasted toasting in return at the Belmont Mansion. The leading spirit of this convivial occasion was the weather beaten and bullet riddled General Patterson.

If, beyond the great multitude, there was little else on the grounds of universal character interesting to the superficial spectator, there was yet satisfaction in the fact that the people themselves were happy, and that the day was laudably devoted to a careful aud orderly inspection of the great Exhibition. The Day at Frankford. Frankford is historic ground, and its patriotic citizens yesterday celebrated the day in a manner thoroughly befitting the occasiou. At an early hour the streets were lined with people, and at seven o'clock the procession was formed and proceeded to the spacious grounds of F. K.

Womrath, where, tradition says, a good portion of the Declaration of Independence was first conceived, this old retreat being a favorite Sunday afternoon resort of Thomas Jefferson during the sessions of the Continental Congress. Three divisions were in line, com posed of the local societies, pioneer corps, military organizations, Theo. M. Wiison, chief marshal; aids, U. R.

Allen and Eli Bromley; division marshals, Amos R. Ellis, Rudolph Bock ius and George F. Smith. When the procession reached the grounds a great crowd had already assembled. The exercises were commenced by Edward Hayes, in a few well chosen remarks.

Prayer was ollcred by Rev. Dr. urphy, of the First Presbyterian Church. Music fd lowed, under tiie direction of Marshal Yonker. The chairman then introduced Hon.

Edward G. Lee, who read the Declaration of Independence. A national salute, music and singing, were next in order, after which the orator of the day, John Shallcross, delivered an address of geiiuine merit, the speaker being complimented by the adoption of a resolution providing for the printing of the oration in pamphlet form. Joseph Ball, next read a synopsis of a history of Frankford, which he has iii preparation for the press. This paper contains many curious facts relating to the early history of the vicinity.

The day's celebration was appropriately concluded Dy a fine display of fireworks. Iu the Alaska District. With the exception of. an occasional row in one of the low groggeries which dot this district, the day was almost finished without serious trouble. About 5 o'clock, however, an amateur riot was inaugurated by a dispute between a white and black man, which at one time threatened to terminate in a serious conflict.

In a short time after the commencement of the fight Seventh street, from Lombard to Bainbridgc, was a scene of intense disorder. Blacks and whites fought with spirit, bricks and stones were hurled and pistol shots were frequent. Lieutenant Brown, of the Nineteenth district, with all the available men at his disposal, was immediately on the ground, but his efforts to secure order were unavailing, and the Reserve Corps was telegraphed for. The Reserves, to the number of forty, were quickly on hand, and, reinforced by the Seventeenth district oliiccrs, soon separatee the belliger ants. The whites were forced down Seventh and a line formed at Alaska, and the blacks were compelled to remain in and above St.

Mary street. The wiudows in the neighborhood suffered but little, as the residents immediately close the shutters when these periodical rows occur. But few arrests were made, as the efforts of the police were devoted entirely to the restoration of order. At 7 o'clock all was quiet, but a sufficient force was retained in the neighborhood to insure order for the night. The Fireworks The programme of the great pyrotechnic display in the East Park was carried through to the letter, the rain to the contrary notwithstanding.

The thousands who had gathered to sec the big blaze stood the wetting manfully, never flinching as the showers came one after the other. The display in Norris Square, however, for which great preparations had been made, was postponed to the first fair evening, after one or two of the smaller pieces had been fired. All over the city the crackers rattled and the torpedoes snapped, till the rain drops drove the old boys and the young boys under shelter. CENTENNIAL HOTEL DIRECTORY. GIRARD HOUSE, N.

Y. M'ALLISTEB, OPTICIAN, SMUUhtd 1783. 721 CHESTNUT, bslow EIGHTH. TO VB MEN KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION A DnigKiat'i Experiments with Explosive, that He Might Give Hie Neighbor! Surprise The Wife's Narrow Escape. Between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon terrible explosion, one that shook the frail buildings in the immediate neighborhood and that was heard for squares, occurred at the northwest corner of Passyunk avenue and Moore street, in the First ward.

The precise locality of the accident was discovered by the dense smoke that poured from the doors and windows of the drag store which stands on this corner. The store is the property of Dr. H. H. Bucher, who, with his wife and a visiting brother, named Edward, lived on the premises.

The doctor, who was a man of scientific mind, had accumulated in the cellar of the house a considerable quantity of dynamite, the properties of which, with sulphuric acid and other combustible chemicals, he htyl for some time been endeavoring to unite, to effect a pyrotechnic result. It was his ambition to complete his experimenting yesterday, that the people of the lower section of the city might be treated toagrand display of fireworks. At noon yesterday he believed that he had overcome all obstacles, and he sent for ilr. William H. Young, his next door neighbor, in Moore street, to see the result.

HASTENING TO DEATH. Mr. Young, who had just finished his dinner, hurried into the drug store, and was followed by a passing acquaintance named Bernard Klosti, who lived on Passyunk avenue, a few doors below Moore street. The doctor's brother came down stairs, and the four men walked behind the counter, to see the culmination of Mr. Bucher's experiments.

The latter exhibited a can of dynamite, and was, it is supposed, proceeding with his test when the explosion took place and killed the entire party instantly. The arms of Edward Bucher and Bernard Klosti were blown entirely from their bodies; Young's body was cut almost in two, end Bucher himself was burned to a crisp. The only one whose features could be recognized a moment after the explosion was Young. The fire did not approach him. The doctor's identity was established by a heavy seal ting, bearing the mark of the thirty second degree of Masonry, the Scottish rite.

The other two bodies were recognized by the clothes they wore only. At the time of the explosion the wife of Dr. Bucher was sitting at the window of the second story and she narrowly escaped the fate of her husband. Close to her feet a hole 8 by 10 was blown in the floor, and the smoke and flame which speadily followed THE EXPLOSION would have smothered her but for the timely assistance of Mr. Bobert Kobb, who fortunately happened in the neighborhood at the moment of the disaster.

He rushed through the burning building, and reached the place where the terrified and fainting woman sat just iu time to save her. With the assistance of citizens, who were brought to the spot by the crash, he succeeded in lowering her to the pavement, where she sank insensible. A successful effort was made to remove the bodies before the burning building had time to consume them. Bucher and his brother were taken to an undertaker's near by, Young was taken to his home next door and Klosti to the Morgue. The alarm of fire which was subsequently spread called engines speedily to the scene aud further disaster was prevented.

Coroner Goddard visited the house in the afternoon and caused the explosive materials to be removed to a place of safety. The consternation caused by the calamity was great, and the police were forced to rope the streets leading to the place of disaster, to hold the excited people in check. Mr. Young leaves a young wile and two small children. Of the family of Klosti little is known beyond the fact that he was a widower and the father of two little boys.

The screams aud lamentations of these little fellows when they were made to comprehend their lad bereavement were very distressing. WOMEN WHO WOULD VOTE. A Lively Meeting of Ihe Woman's Suffrage Association The New Declaration of Independence. The members of the National Woman's Suffrage Association yesterday at noon held a meeting in Dr. Furness'" Church and arraigned the national government and society in general for the deaf car they have turned to the elumorers for universal suilrage.

The venerable Lucretia Mott, whose activity in the cause of auti slavcry has given her a world wide reputation, presided. Elizabeth Cady Stanton read The Woman's Declaration of Kights and Articles of Impeachment against tho Government of the United States," a companion of the Declaration of Independence of 1770 only given birth one century later and differing in this, that while the latter records the determination of the hardy colonists of the past century, irrespective of sex, to throw off the yoke of tyranny, the former announces the equal determination of the female portion of this great republic to resist the hard heeled oppression ol the then oppressed but now oppressors. This female Jef fersonian document impeaches the national administration for the introduction of the word "male" in the Constitution, and points out other incongruities which in time, if not remedied, will result iu the total dissolution of the social fabric of the nation, and winds up with a pathetic ap ieal to the powers to accord civil, equal and po itical rights to the memorialists and their (laughters forever. After finishing the paper, Mrs. Stanton denied, in emphatic terms, the doema of the age that women were made for men, but admitted that they were made for each other, and should suffer and enjoy the burdens and pleasures of life equally.

She stated that the paper was presented by her and several other co workers to Vice President Ferry thatmorning (yesterday) in Independence Square, immediately after the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Mrs. Beiva A. Lockwood, a lawyer, practising in Washington, in defending the cause of woman from a constitutional standpoint, said that the old fathers of '70 had declared that all persons were mr.de free and equal, and she propounded the conundrum, whether women were not persons? Although this century was governed by brute force she thought the next would usher in the age of reason, when the names of Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Susan B.

Anthony and Julia Hutchinson would be written in letters of gold for the services they had done in the cause of suffering women. Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage dissected the habeas corpus writ, the safeguard of the male portion of the Commonwealth, and demonstrated that it was inappropriate in its application to married women. Lucretia Mott, apologizing for her old age and weakened voice, in tremulous tones reviewed the history of the movement, and said that there is no law in existence fit to govern the American Republic. Miss I'liojbe Cozzens denounced the action of General tiuwley, who refused her application to allow their "Declaration of Bight to be presented to the meeting in Independence Square.

She called upon Mrs. Sara J. Spencer to recite the incidents of that interview. Mrs. Spencer, who fulfilled the same duty at the Cincinnati Convention that Miss Cozzeus did at St.

Louis, laid that she, together with the committee, applied to General Hawlejr for the privilege of presenting the Declaration without word of mouth to the meeting yesterday in In deiiendeiice Square, and that the General said that her request was an important one, and that lie and the committee who had the celebrit tion in charge realized its significance. We know," saiu the General, that it will be the event of the day, and as we intend to celebrate what has been done in the last hundred years, and not what has not been done, we must refuse your request. Your petition may be in order on any other occasion, but it is not on this." You don't know how this inspired us," said Mrs. Spencer, "and how we determined then, in spite of General llnwley, to present the paper, and we did so this morning immediately after the reading of the Declaration of "7(1, and Vice President Ferry received it from our hands with a gracelul bow of the head. I was not sorry that the President of the United was not the presiding officer, although if a woman were ever to fill that chair she would certainly not fail to be present on such a glorious occasion, but Mr.

Ferry sympathizes with our cause, and it was gratifying to put the paper in his hands." Lilfie Devereaux Bluko combated the idea that women could not fulfil the duties incident to citizenship, and thought that they could serve the country in timo of war as well as those men who obtained substitutes to do their fighting in the rebellion. Susnn II. Anthony related her experience in Rochester, where he was indicted and convicted for violating the election laws, iu depositing a ballot at the general election, and with abort addresses by ilrs. Stanton and others, the meeting adjourned. THE PICKPOCKET HARVEST, On Besult of Attempting to Relievo Strangers of Their Valuables.
