NEETUCC: OF TUB CONTRIBUTORS TO TILE
I'IINNSYLVANIA INSTITUTION POD TFIN DKAIP AND
DUVII.—The annual meeting of the contributors to
the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
was held at the Institution, corner of Broad and
:Pine streets, at four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Dr. Franklin Bache occupying the chair, and Mr.
James Barclay acting as secretary. The patrons of
he Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
learn that it is in a prosperous condition. The re
port of the treasurer,Mr. F. Mortimer Lewis, states
the expeneitures for the year to have been $61,741.99,
the balance due being $3,987,06. The family expenses,
clothing, etc., amount to $17,667 53 ; salaries, $13,-
953.68 repairs, $420.64; printing report and books,
$102.50; loans, $14,492.60; ground rent, taxes, etc.,
$81.96; pay pupils $26.17• United .itates treasury
notes, $6,000. In ' the Institution the whole charge
for tuition food, raiment, washing, medicine, and
medical attendance, amounted to $l6O. The report
of the medical adviser, Dr. Biddle, states that the
prevalence, Inst winter,. of the two epidemics,
measles and small-pox, in the institution, gave
additional occupation to all connected with it.
Two deaths occurred from each of these diseases.
At the close of the year 1861 the inmates comprised
05 girls and 111 boys ; 17 girls and 21 boys have since
then been admitted, and 24 girls and 38 boys dis
charged. 88 girls and 94 boys were remaining there
on December 21, 1862. 144 are supported by Penn
sylVania, 9 by Maryland, 7 by New Jersey, 4 by De
laware, 3 by the 'city of Philadelphia, 14 by the Medt
tution or by their friends and the Crozer scholarship.
The diredtori are not aware of any case, in this coun
try or in Europe, in which the sense of hearing has
ever been restored. In regard to teaching articula
tion to those born deaf, to convey to them ideas
through the motion of the lips, nothing in the shape
of encouragement has been vouchsafed. Where some
know/Edge of language has been obtained before the
loss of hearing, instruction has been given and
the pupil exercised in the employment of oral lan
guage. The services of the ladies' committees, the
principal, and of the other officers connected with
the institution, are alluded to in appreciative terms.
Inquiry has been made whether the parents of the
pupils are related, with a view of ascertaining
whether a relationship be a cause of deafness in the
othipring. ICo absolutely certain conclusion, how
ever, has been deduced from these inquiries. An
election for officers for the ensuing' year was then
held. Dr. Bache, the revered president, declined a
re-election. Hon. Geo. Shorewood was chosen in
his place. The list of officers is as follows :
. President, George Sharewood.
Vice Presidents, Henry J. Williams, William M.

- THE SALE OF SEATS FOR THE NEW THE
.ATUE.—Yesterday, at noon, the sale of seats in the
parquette and dress circle of the new theatre took
place, according to announcement, at the auction
rooms of Messrs. Thomas & Sons. Notwithstanding
the great inclemency of the weather, there was
quite a large attendance, and the bidding was lively
and rapid. At noon, the sale commenced. The
auctioneer at once announced the particulars of the
sale. He stated that thue were three proscenium
boxes to be disposed of, one of which contained
ten seats. The ordinary price for a proscenium seat
is $l. The bidding price would be a premium over
$l. The theatre price for parquette and secured
seats in the dress circle was stated at '75 cents.
The bidding would be a premium above that price.
The private boxes were first put up. Only three
were to be sold, as the fourth, it was stated, was re
served for the proprietor of the theatre. Each per
son in the audience was furnished with a lithogra
phic plan of the house, which was quite a conveni
ence to both buyer and seller. The' choice" seat in
the house was first announced, the said "choice"
seat to he that which the successful bidder chose 'to
take, after his bid was accepted. The bidding com
menced at twenty-five cents, and went up steadily
' to $2.50'; 'No. 33 , 1, dress-circle, was ' taken at this
price. Thep B
roscenium boxes ,0, and D were Don
taken at $2.25 per sent. The next "choice" were
taken as Ntris. 76 and 77, parquette, at $1.62 premium
each. Two hundred seats were next taken, at $1.37,-
by Mr. Risley; for the purpose, evidently, of specula
tion. • •
'When this gentleman announced the extent of his
purchase, there was quite a sensation in the room.
What's the name]" said the auctioneer. "Mr.
Risley, at the - Continental," was the clear and loud
reply. "All right," said the auctioneer, "I sup
pose Mr. Risley is good for that amount." "Cer
tainly," replied Mr. It. The most of the remaining
seats were taken at prices ranging from $1 to 50
cents. ThOse in the dress circle, which individual
bidders did not purchase, were taken by Mr. Risley.
All the seats were finally disposed of and the net
proceeds amounted to over $7OO.
TIM TERCENTENARY ,TIMILEE-s—IILORN
nu; SESSION.—At nine o'clock yestertliy morning
the meeting was called to order by Rev. Dr. Heiner,
one of the vice presidents. The session was opened
With singing, the opening prayer being delivered by
Rev. John Kullig. The minutes of the last session
were then read and approved. The chairman an
nounced the reception of a letter from Rev. Mr. D.
Willers, of 'New York. Rev. Dr. Harbaugh read a
letter from Rev. J. H. Reiter, of Miamisburg, Ohio.'
This contained a list of the German Reformed nil
glisters deceased, together with the dates .of their
• deaths, and requested that endeavors might be made
during the sessions of the Convention to fill up all.
defects in the list, so that a full and accurate mortuary!
record might be made out. The letter of the Rev.
:11. D. Willers was then read by Rev. Dr. Nevin. In
this much interest in the design of the Convention
was expressed, and also regret that advancing age
prevented the attendance of the writer. The letter
concluded with appropriate remarks with respect to
the Heidelberg Catechism. On motion of Rev. Dr.
rt.teiner, it was resolved that the letter of-Rev. Mr.
D. Willers be received and published with the pro-
eeedings of the Convention. A portion of the intro
duotion to the Heidelberg Catechism was next read
to the Convention by Rev. Dr. Nevin. • This had
been proposed by himself for the Tercentenary edi
tion. The reading of the essay occupied two hours
and a half: The origin of the catechism, its foun
ders and its doctrines, were touched upon, arid
every Important feature delineated faithfully and
with minuteness. The meeting then adjourned,
to, reassemble in the evening at seven o'clock.
A MISERABLE DAY. Yesterday was
what Charles Lamb would have styled a miserable
day. The hyperbolic imagination of the fact, the
risible requisites of the confirmed punster, would
haye to be employed to perpetuate a readable rhyme
or a laughable joke, in reeard to yesterday morning,
noon, and night. Everybody looked miserable,
everything looked wretched. The echoes of carts,
and drays, and cabs were muffled in slush; the din
of newsboys' mouths was drowned in rain drops;
the gutters were beautifully brimmed with weak;
coffee-colored liquid; the sewers were redolent with
washy subterfuges. Every one was in a question
able humor; umbrellas were blown inside out; the
wind played. prestidleitati*l pranks with hats
and caps, coat-tails, and lmorals. Night only
added to the 'terrors of the scene, to speak poeti
cally. Signs creaked in meter, and! awnings flapped
in 'harmonious discord. Everybody who loves the
"merry, merry sunshine" will pray for the return
of fair weather.

. HOMICIDE.—Last evening Lieut. Hender
son, with a portion of the Reserve Corps, made s de..
scent upon a den kept by Charles Lelar, in Seventh
street, above Chestnut, for the purpose of arresting
a gang of rowdies known to congregate there, and
who, it was Thought were participants in a fight on
Saturday night, in which Mr. John Keichline
eeived very severe injuries, from the effects of which
he died yesterday. The officers, when they arrived
at the house arrested the following distinguished
characters, who were at the time engaged in the
game of "cock fight:" A. Whiteman, Thomas Stout,
Pat Taheney, Alfred Edwards, Edward Pritchard,
alias Shanghai, John Jones, Joseph Hart, John
Dixon, Charles Deveney.
The above arc the names which the persons gave
to the police officers. Some of them, however, are
well known, and among them were Samuel Rusk,
Charles Lelar, Robert McVey, allas Bobby Trott,
Charles Sherer, alias "Pud" Sherer, and Joe Shu
man.
The "pit" was r ot of those miserable holes, in
which only the lowest of humanity are supposed
competent to enjoy themselves. Samuel Rusk, and
a man named Dickson were found urging on the
fight. The whole gang were brought to the Central
Station, and committed by Alderman Heiner. The
investigation which took place did not implicate any
of these men directly in the murder of Keichline.
though it was testified to that the latter received
most of his injuries in the neighborhood of the
house. They will be held as witnesses, before the
investigation of the coroner, which takes place at
one o'clock to-day.: It would be unjust, we ackno*-
ledge, to state all that •is now known respecting the
part taken in the fight by these men, rts the coroner's
investigation will place the guilt upon the proper
parties. It is only necessary to state that on Satur
day night Rusk and the deceased had a quarrel,
on Seventh street, in which the latter succeeded
in biting a piece of flesh out of the cheek of Rusk.
A crowd of persons then interfered and separated
the combatants. Rusk, it is alleged, then went to
his home, and there remained for the .rest of the
night. It appears that Keichline subsequently pro
ceeded to Military Hall, in Library street, and while
there, and in an intoxicated state, threw a lager
beer glass at one of the musical performers. True,
of course, created another fight, in which Keichline
was again beaten. From the effects of both fights
Keichline died yesterday morning. The deceased
was a butcher, and resided in the Twentieth ward. •
Dp.sTitorEn m FlRE.—About
o'clock yesterday morning, the large barn of WM.
Sellers, located in Delaware county, just helot the

TEE COMMON COUNCIL INJTINCTION CASE.
Kerr et al. vs. fired° et el., The application for
an injunction on the part ofithe Democratic organi
zation of Common Councinfigainst the Union or
ganization WRB argued yesterday in the Supreme
Court. The bill of complaint has been already pub
lished, and its character Is known to our readers.
The principal point raised by it is as to whether the
members of Common Council holding over have the
right to receive the certificates of the new members
and proceed with the organization of the Chamber.
The answer of the defendants, which was filed yes
terday in the shape of an affidavit, sets forth :
let. The organization of Common Council by the
defendants, which they aver was lawful. '
2d. Although it was the duty of complainants, as
well as those duly elected to Common Council at
the general election in October, 1862, to have acted
with the majority of members duty elected, yet so
it is, that in pursuance to an intent, as defendants
believe, formed for some time past, to control fraudu--
lently the municipal government of the city of Phi
ladelphia, the said complainants declined to answer
their names when called by Mr. Sulg,er as temporary
clerk ; and - the newly-elected members of said Com
mon
Council, except those who are defendants here:
in, declined to present their credentials of election;
but the said complainants, against the precedents
established by Common Council in their organiza
tion heretofore, and against the rule which the said
complainants established in the organization of Com
mon Council in January, 1662. organized separately,'
with Wilson Kerr as their chairman. and admitted
into said 'organization, with the view of claiming. a
majority of the members of Common Council, two
persons who were not elected at all - as members of
said Common Council, and one person who had no
legal certificate of election.
it next avers that it has been the uniform custom
in organizing the Common Council to do so by the
selection of a new chairman, and that the chairman
of the preceding year has never claimed to act as
such in the succeeding year.
It then avers the belief of the defendants that the
organization of complainants was with fraudulent •
intent, and, in support of this belief, they set out the
following statement :
First. That Charles Dougherty, one of the asses
sors of the Fifth ward, added numerous names to the
list of taxables of that ward, with a view of in
creasing the.representation of that ward in Common
Council. His co-assessor, under direction of the
Court of Common Pleas, corrected said return,
whereby it appears that the ward was not entitled to
the additional member, and the sheriff' so notified
the qualified voters in his proclamation. Yet, not
withstanding this, one William Meeser procured
five ballots to be cast for hint for that of and the
return judges gave him a certificate that he was duly
elected a member of Common Council, and the corn-.
plaintuit's organization admitted him as such.
Second. The circumstances of the first and Second
expulsion 'of Thomas J. Duffield by the Common
Council of 1862, which last expulsion defendants
claim is in contempt of the judgment of the Court of
Common Pleas restoring him to his seat after the
first expulsion. . . .
Third.. The presentation by Isaac Leech of his
certificate of election from the return judges of the
Twenty-first ward, which, it is alleged, stands on
the same footing precisely as the certificate of elec
tion as member of Select Council, from the same
return judges to Philip Lowry, and which the Court
of Common Pleas enjoined him from presenting,
and his. admission as a member by complainants'
organization. •
Pourth. That Charles Thompson Jones received a
certificate, from a majority of the return judges of
the Twenty-fourth ward, of his election to Common
Council from that ward, and that, subsequently, four
of the return jndges—a minority=gave to James.
Greenwood a certificate that he had been duly
elected, and complainants' organization admitted.
him as a meffiber, although a majority of the return
judges had not signed his certificate.
The affidavit then charges that they believe that
the unlawful expulsion of Thomas J. Duffield and
the improper admission of William Meese; Isaac
Leech, and James Greenwood, as members of Com
mon Council, was done with the intent of constitu
ting the ,"Kerr organization" the Common Coun
cil of the city of Philadelphia, for without there is
no pretence that they constitute a majority of the
duly-elected members.
The defendants then 'deny that they intend topass
ordinances appropriating the public moneys of the
city, and have not done so, whereas the Kerr orga
nization did pass, on January 8, 1863,'an ordinance
appropriating.sloo,ooo of the public moneys.
The defendants also deny that it was the right or
duty of the continuing members of the said Council
to receive the newly-elected members ; and they de
' ny that they.have clamorously or illegally intertered
with the proceedings of the Council, or that they
have Interrupted the renil e ar and o;derly transac
tion of the business of the Council. The, affidavit
is signed- by all the defendants except Charles
Thompson Jones, who made a separate affidavit.
A counter affidavit, by Philip Lutte, clerk of the
old Common Council, was also read.
And defendants further say, that on the morning
of said organization, and before the credentials of
any of the newly-elected members had been pre
sented, Philip H. Lutts, the clerk of the Kerr or
ganization,had printed lists of the members of Com
mon Council already made out, and which contained
the names of James Greenwood, William Bleeser,
and Isaac Leech, and left off the name of Thomas J.
Duffield; and defendants believe that such lists
were made out by the directions of the "Kerr or
ganization," and plainly indicated their intent to
accept the fraudulent certificates as hereinbefore set
forth.
The argument was opened by Hon. William A.
Porter for complainants, and he contended, in a
very able argument, that this mode of organization
is sustainable on three grounds. Ist. It is reason
able. 2d. It is in accordance with the precedents
furnished by other deliberAtive Wies. 3d. It con
forms to the analogies of the decided cases. It is
the reasonable mode of organizing the body, be
cause the presence of all the continuing members is
thus secured. They are all certainly members of the
body, and known as such, for they have served du
ring the preceding year. In another assembly, got
ten up by the new members, how are these old mem
bers to he known as members? The new members
may justify themselves to each other by producing
their certificates. How are they , to know officially
the ald members who are to sit with them?
The certificates of these old members were pre
sented a year previously, and filed under the autho
rity of the officers, whose very existence -the new
members now refuse to recognize. In other words,
the records of the body, which it is required 'by law
to keep, are necessarily in the custody -of the old
members, or the officers whom they have elected to
take charge of the records. From these recordsthe
naines of the continuing members can be Called at
once, and afterwards the new members may be re
ceived. On the other hand, the new body, gotten up
by the new members, has not one particle of official
authority to show who the continuing members are.
It must take such stragglers as chance to come in,
and, as in this instance, meet in the very face of a
greater number of the continuing members, whO
have assembled to organize the body according to
. ,
Second. This mode of organizing the Counc 1 is
most in • accordance with precedent. The Select
Council has always organized in this mode. The.
Federal House of Representatives, although not a
continuing body, is called to order and the roll called
by a clerk of the former House. Instances have oc
curred in which that body has, under the direction of
this person, balloted for officers for several weeks.
It seems never before to have occurred to any politi
cians, however hungry, that . the knot might be cut
by certain members getting together in a room' and
electing a double set of officers. In the Senate of
Pennsylvania, where new members are, at every ses
sion, added to the old, the body is always organized by
the officers of the preceding session, and after that
new officers may be, and frequently are, elected. If
we pass from a political body and a municipal corpo
ration to the caae of banking institutions and chari
ties, the same rule prevails. Suppose a bank has
six directors. The terms of office of three expire,
and the stockholderti elect three in their places. Are
the new directors to come in. and organize the board
and elect a president and thus set two presidents to
work at signing obligations for the bank? Would
this court permit that state of things 7 Precisely the
same inconveniences, in a different form, would re
sult from such proceedings, on the part of trustees
of churches, managers of savings funds, and di
rectors
of school boards, if they were not go
verned by the mode of organization here contend
ed for.
Third. This mode accords with all the analogies of
previous decisions. The decisions were here dis
cussed, the counsel citing Wilcock on Corporations;
Angell and Ames on Corporations, chap. 14, p; 162 ;.
Hill vs. The Commissioners, 1 Parsons, 601 ; St.
Jklary , s Church case, 6 Sergeant &Rawle,sos ; Wag
ner vs. Heyburge, 7 W. & S., 107 ; Brown vs. The
Mayor,3 Barbour, 254 ; Field vs. Field, 9 Wendell,
304 • Cmmonweilith vs. Green , 4 Wharton; 631.
The argument for the defendants was opened by .
D. W. Sellers, Esq., in an exceedingly excellent
speech. He was followed on the same side by the
Bon. Charles Gibbons, in a masterly address.
Mr. Gibbons said he proposed to say a few words
on this question of jurisdiction. • The bill, as the
court would observe, was filed by thirteen indivi
duals representing themselves as tax-payers. They.
do not pretend to act for anybody but themselves,
and they ask for. an injunction to restrain the
twenty-tive defendants, who constitute a quorum of,
The Common Council, from acting or attempting to
act as the Common Council of Philadelphia. If is,
therefore, an application to supervise and control the
action of a municipal body.
The equity jurisdiction of this court, where corpo
rations are parties, is expressly restricted by the get
of 1836 to the supervision and control of corporations
"other than those of a municipal character." It is
true that the act gives jurisdiction for the prevention
or restraint of the commission or continuance of
acts contrary to law, and prejudicial to the Interests
of the community or the rights of individuals. 1.1•41
this does not apply to the case of a corporation act
ing within the scope of its authority. If a municipal
corporation were about to commit an act contrary to
law, a court of equity might interfere to prevent it ;
but, where the act is not contrary to law, it has no
jurisdiction.
Mr. Gibbonsithen proceeded to show that the de
fendants, in organizing and acting as the Common
Council, were not acting contrary to law. On the
contrary, the plaintiffs, by their bill and a ff idavits,
show that they themselves were acting contrary to
law. Mr. Kerr was the president of the Council
which expired when the clock struck ten on the
first Monday in January. ' The body which elected
him died at that hour, and its presiding officer died
with it. After that hour he was Mr. Kerr—not Mr.
President—and without a vote of the new body as
sembled for organization, he had no right to take the
chair. It was a plain usurpation, for which there is
neither law nor precedent. It was a body differently
constituted from the Senate of Pennsylvania, to
which it had been likened by Mr. Porter. • That
body neveidies. Two-thirds of its members, being
more than a quorum, hold over. It always has a
presiding *officer. It ' elects a Speaker for the
,session, and if his Senatorial term expires with the
session, it elects a new. Speaker before it adjourns,
who h olds his office until , the succeeding session is
duly organt7ed. This is a necessity, because, in can
Of the Governor's death, the office devolves upon
the Speaker of the Senate, The Senate is, there
fore, permanently organized. ''Not so with Common
Council. The members who hold .over were not a
quorum of that body, and could not transact busl
nem The body was to be organized when the new
members appeared in the Council chamber,
without
whose presence there could be no busineastransaet
ed. When they assembled, Ur. Kerr, without the
consent of the body, and without right, usurped the
chair, end directed the clerk to call the names of •
certain persons whose certificates of election were
imperfect, and not to call other names of members •
elect,whosecertificates were regular and lawful. On .
the other hand, the defendants, pursuant to prece
dent established in all prior organizationsof the body,
elected a clerk by vote, who called all the names of
the old members, and all the names of new members
who presented their credentials.
This was regular. This was lawful. There is .
neither precedent nor lawto the contrary. The Kerr'
organizatioze• is irregular, becauseiwithout the au—
thority or consent of the body, he took the chair, and
claimed to act, And did act, as its presiding officer.
/41r. Gibbons proceeded at some length to argue
with great ability against the jurisdiction of the
court and the 'proceedings of the Kerr organization.
He contended that if the defendants had usurped the
office of Common Councilmen, the remedy provided
by the law was by a writ of ouo warranto, and that
their titles could not be tried or decided by a bill in
equity.
.Mr, Gibbons' argument, we are sorry to say, we
cannot do justice to. It was exceedingly able and
elicited the most profound attention. lie was fol
lowed by George M. Wharton, Esq., on the part of
the complainants, and on the conclusion of his argu
ment submitted the case to the judgment of the
court.
THE P, 01, I 0 E .
[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.]
The Fifth Ward Election Case.
The MC of the Commonwealth versus William
lYleeser, Charles W. Brooks, and the returnjudges
generally of the Fifth ward, came up for another
hearing, last evening, before the Alderman, at his
Seventh. street office.
David W. Sellers, Esq., and Fred. M. Adams, Esq.,
appeared for the prosecution ; George Biddle, Esq.,
and L. C. Cassidy, Esq., for the defence.
The office was pretty well crowded with people
who feel a lively interest. in the case. We present
to the public the following interesting report of the
proceedings:
Charles M. Neal, one of the City Commissioners
in 1602, sworn. McDowell and Dougherty were the
acting assessors of Fifth ward ; the book of taxables
was sent to the office ; there was a dispute about the
names; Mr. Dougherty admitted that he had added
names after he and McDowell had gone round ; Mr.
Hall came and said he wanted the list of taxables,
in order to make out the proclamation for the gene
ral election 4; the returns were handed Mr. Hall;
after this witness went into court for 'instruction,
and it was suggested that the two assessors meet
together, and strike off the names that had been
added by Dougherty ; the assessors did not meet ;
corrected list was'. made out; this reduced the num , :
ber to lees than 4,000 taxables for the Fifth ward ; it
was understood that In case the corrected list should
contain more than 4,000 names a supplemental pro.,
de:nation should be issued by Mr. Hall for the elec
tion of a Councilman.
John a Houseman, Oily Commissioner, sworn.
The erasures in the assessors' street list. made with
red ink, strike out the names of those added by Mc-
Dowell ; we sent an official notice to Mr. Hall that
the corrected list did not amount to 4,000 names;
there were about 3,700 names. - • • .
E. . McDowell. assessor of the Fifth ward, proved
the fraudulent returns as made by Dougherty, the
correct returns not containing 4,000.
Mr. Sellers offered in evidence the trial and con
viction of Dougherty at the August. session of the
Court of Quarter Sessions.
Mr. Biddle, counsel for defence, objected to the ad
mission of this important document.
E. J. Yard sworn.—Am a resident of Fifth ward
voted at the election in October. ' not for Common
Councilman, as it was understood there was no can-.
dictate forth% office; I saw the return judges of the
ward at the house of Peter McElroy next day after
the election; Mr. Meeser was there; Mr. Brooks was
the president; all the defendants were present; Mr.,
Meeser said he had heard that some votes had been
cast for him, and he requested a certificate; am not
positive, but I think he said he got five votes; the
official returns were not yet made out; I think Mr.
Hart said there was one vote on his return for Mr.
Fleeser, - but he had not counted it in; there was some
conversation on the subject; can't exactly remember
what was said; there did not seem to be any objec-,
tion made to the application.
Cross-examined.—.l was an inspector of the Fifth
ward ; it has been the custom to go to the Meeting
of the return judges ; Meeser was not there when L
arrived ; the return judges Came In, and. Charles
Brooks was chosen as president; when Meeshr
came in he asked for his certificate as a member .
elect to the Common Council ; I heard his name
called out as having received votes for that office ;
I am not certain as to the language used, but to the
best of my knowledge and belief, I do not think
there was anything else said; I was present an•
hour ' • when the judges commenced signing the re
turnsl left ; Lewis Armstronf, judge of Fifth divi
sion, was present at the meeting of return judges ;
.we attended to our business; Mr. Yard was there;
did not see Mr. Meeser until we \vere about getting
through; he demanded his certificate; don't know
of any votes having been cast for him in my
; when Mr. Meeser made a demand for his cer
tificate there was something said, but can't say
what ; there was no objection that I know of; the
certificate was made out the same as all other certi
ficates ; I signed it ; I saw one or two sign it; Mee
ser got four or five votes ; can't say what division
they were east in.
Philip Lutz sworn.—Was clerk at organization of
Council; I received a certificate of the election of
Mr. Meeser (certificate here produced) ; Mr. hleeser
was sworn in by Mr. Kerr, I presume.
-The certificate sets forth that Mr. Meeser was
duly elected to •the office of Common Councilman,
he having received all the votes oast for that office.
Wilson - Kerr sworn.—Acted as president of Com
mon Council ; I wore Mr. Meeser in ; I suppose he
has acted as a member since that time.
The counsel for the Commonwealth asked for a
continuance of, the case, because of the absence of
two important witnesses who could not attend this
afternoon, in consequence of the very inclement state
of .the weather.
Couniel finally agreed to a postponement until
next Wednesday afternoon.
The Election Cnsc in the Fifth Ward.
The case of Hugh Brown, of the Fifth precinct of
the Fifth ward, charged with having presented to the
Democratic Convention a forged' certificate - or wee-
j
tion as delegate from the precinct named, was to
have been investigated yesterday afternoon. The
parties were present to meet the Case, but the prose
cutors did not - make their appearance. After wait
ing
a full half hour's grace, Alderman Beitler dis
missed the case.
An Alleged Burglar.
James Smith was arraigned bifore the alderman,
at the Central Station, yesterday afternoon, on the
charge of burglary, by breaking into the lager beer
and dwelling house of Charles Wagner, at the corner
of Third and Green streets, on the night of, the 7th
or Bth inst. Among the articles stolen was a loaded ,
revolver. This was, recovered on a pawn-ticket
found on the petsoli of the' prisoner. Mr. Wagner
testified that his place was broken into between two
and three o'clock in the morning, about two weeks
since. • Four- hundred cigars_ were stolen; a box of
cheese and a revolver were also taken. The revolver
was identified by Hr. Wagner. On thd person of
the prisoner were found four pawn-tickets, of goods
pledged in different names. The defendant, in ac
countingfor them, said thathis wife found tile pawn.; .
ticket relative to the pistol. She was cluestiolted •
about it, and said yes, she picked it up in Girard .
avenue three weeks ago; she was sure it was three
weeks; quite sure that it was not so recant as two
weeks. This ticket is dated January 9th; instant, .
not two weeks since it was issued. The prisoner
was committed In default ofo,ooo hail. He has re
cently
arrived from New York. The police regard
him as the leader of a gang of sneak thieves, four or
five of whom have been recently arrested.
[Before Mr. Alderman White.]
Petty Shoplifter. \
Henry Miller was arraigned before Alderman
White, yesterday, on the charge of stealing some
velvet ribbon from the store of Adam Burt, in
Second street, on Tuesday evening. The evidence
of Mrs. Burt was that the prisoner came into the
store and bought seventy-five cents' worth ofribbon,
.and tendered a one-dollar note in payment. While
she was getting the change, he suddenly picked up
three. pieces of velvet ribbon and started to run
away. Mrs. B. gave the alarm, and the fugitive,
after a short chase, was captured by Officer Fergu- i
son. The stolen ribbon was found upon him. He 11
was committed to prison.
Robbed his Employer.
Henry Bishop, a colored man, confessed yesterday
tothe robbery of his employer, A. B. Ives, who has
a place of business on Dock street, near Delaware
avenue: It seems, according to the evidence, that
Officer Illartouvle observed Bishop carrying a barrel
of onions on -his shoulder r in Pine street, between
Fourth and Fifth.
"What have you there?" said the officer.
"A ban of ingyens, sah," replied the stranger.
" Where did you get them?"
"illy boss guy 'em to me."
" Who is your boss?"
",Why, Mr. Ives, sah; I works for him."
' What did he give them to you for?"
The accosted individual put the barrel down by
this time,
and, scratching his head, said : " Well, I
guess he guy 'em to melor picklin."
"You, and your onions must go to the station
house," replied the officer.
• Yesterday morning Mr. Ives appeared at the hear?
ing, and • identified the barrel by the trademarks
thereon. The prisoner was committed to answer.
Before leaving the, station-house he acknowledged
having stolen the onions.
