Death ot Rev. C C. Iloflnairj.
Wo take the lollowln Irom the Cavalla (West
Africa) Metsenger of December 1, 18GS. It i
from the pen oi Rt. Rev. Bishop Payne, of the
African Mission:
"Died, at Capo Talmas, on Saturday. Novem
ber 26, the Rev. Cart walader ColJen Il jifman,
in iuu iuhj-jiiui jear ui uis me, ana ibo six- i
teenth of his coDnt-ction with the Protestant
i,pwoopai Mission at Cape Palnoas and ports
adjacent. .
"This event will sa.lc!en tho hearts of thou
sands and tall like a thunderclap upon the
Church, as il did on the mission and community
which he bo much honored, and in which he was
so ranch belovd.
" 'Our beloved Earnnhaf,' the wise, ready
counsellor, the constant Ijvios; triend, the per
iectly consecrated Chrisinu minister, the zealuiis,
ever-active, able, siuglu-miuded missionary, the
dear fellow-laborer in the srospcl; deliehtina;,
above all thines, to 'sound it out,' accordmac to
the grace given him, to every creature. We, as
a mission, mourn a lots never before expe
rienced. "During the past t wo years our elovcil brother
has been so constantly occupied in dolni the
work ot an evsrgeliht in the heathen trbes
around Cape Palms, and sixtv miles interior,
nnd apparently with bo little sacrifice of health
and strength, that it seemed either that he had
become wholly inured to the climate, or that a
spec.al Proviuence had susoended or modified
the law of climate in his behalf. But, indeed,
this w as only in appearance. Whde laboriutr so
cheerfully tor love's sake, that to out vard seem
ing it as only Joyful, few ever felt more 'tho
burden of tho Lord' on his soul, or more keenly
the physical suffering entailed by traver-in
tin pled forests, navigating rivers n miserable
ctm.es, preaching in t wns or small huts, tinker
a t epical sun, pent, up by fences from the breeze.
"Bern t comfort, not to say aflluence, in the
city of New Yoik, with t-nuiiy aud other con
nections which in a worldly point of view pre
sentca the strongest attractions, he renounced
all to become and remain a humble, and tor the
most part despiced, missionary to Africa.
"Our dear brother in d-ath as in life, wai
strong in iaith, animating others in the work o
the Lord 'Do not grow weary,' hesald, 'remum
ber who hath promised, lo I am with yon
alwa' s;' kt not the church go back, but rather
incieae her efforts more.'
"No more f.tr kine testimony of thee timatein
which this good man was held co lid be riven, than
that presented on the dav ot his funeral. On this
day all other religious services were suspended,
except those which were to take place here.
Methods! and Baptist ministers, with their con
gregations, and all the benevolent socleues of
the county were present at the tuneral service.
Nearly the whole colonist population, with
heathen relatives to 'lie number of tive hundred,
joined in his funeral procession. May the 'corn
of wheat,' thus tallica into the ground and
dying, like its great protatype, bear much fruit;
iiippir na with lite, light, hope, and salvation
surviving ministers, catechists, and Christians."

vs. Given. The evittence taiten before the Ex
aminer in this case, in regard to the allercd
aimy vote, having closed tome tune since, the
case came up tbls morning for argument, upon
exceptions to the answer to the petition tiled by
tho lespondeut, Civen; and also incidentally
upon the evidence to iar taken. All, or nearly
all, the speciheations in the answer arc excepted
to, as beintr vague, imprecise, and indefinite.
II. M. Ph.: 11 fs opeued the argument for the
contestant, and vpry thorouguly analyzed the
various specifications of the answer, and said
that, throwing out the army vote, as, under the
evidence, the Court must inevitably do, it having
been proven to be a gross, barefaced fraud, and
allowing to be deducted from Weaver all the
votes which in Given's answer t the petition
were alleged to have been lra'idulently or im
properly counted tor him in the general return,
still he was prepared b the tigures to show that
Weaver was still elected.
. Mr. 1 hillips then eutered into a calculation,
as follows: He sa d that by the general return
it appeared that Given had received 43,731) votes
and Weaver 43,417, leaving Given 322 majority.
In that vote for Given was' included !)20 alleged
aimy votes. Deduct these from his full vote and
it would leave him bnt 42,810, which, deducted
from Weaver's vote, 43,417, wou'd leave the
latter a majority ot ti()7 votes. !
In Given's answer, Mr. Phillips said it was
claimed in thejvarious specifications, from the 1st
to the 14th, that Weaver had counted tor him
improperly 482 votes only, and admitting that
for the purposes of the case, though he did not
admit it in point of fact, and allowing to bo de
ducted from Weaver the votes thus enumerated,
it would still leave tho latter elected by a ma
jority ot 125 votes. I
Mr. Phillips was followed by D. W. Sellers,
Esq.. for Given, who characterized Mr. Phillips
calculation as a qver calculation, and tending
to confute I, the case. As a seto-tf thereto, Mr.
Sellers made a calculation by which he claimed
that Mr. Given is elected without the army vote
bv a maioritv of 06(1 volen.

Tub Haunted. Douse Humbug.-
The Inquirer startled the community yes
teiday morning with the announcement that
house on South Fifth street was di'covered to
be haunted by disembodied ppirit3. A number
of marvellous manifestations were recited,
which, however, were all reducible to these:
Dinner plates flew off the table; window-panes
were smathed unaccountably; combs, brushes,
waterfalls, etcetera, were thrown on the floor;
looking-glasses jumped to far corners of the
loom; the mantel ornaments reduced themselves
to atomic particles against tbe walls; tumblers
tlrw violently against a servant girl's 08 frontis;
the door keys flopped out or the locks; and the
ancient Henry, generally, was to pay. We quote
a paragraph or two: ,
".An attempt was made to set the table for the
Sunday dinner, iu vain the plates Jumped off the
tab e and went to atoms arainst floor and ceiling, to
the hapless family ate their fcabbatical ulnucr irom
tlieir mpa. A daughter ot the family, on her return
lioin churcn, ent rinir tne parlor, nad ner bible tora
from ber hands with such force ai to tear the eovors
entiiely oil. lcu the bread became endowed with
life, aud went spinning over the table In the most
eecenlno manner. During t' e afternoon there was
comparative quiet; thi le weie r imbung noises but
no moveueels or inanimate objects. Several
bpirilualist visited the house and expressed them-
selvet confident thai evil spirits were at work, th ju 'h
who invoked taoir powor iliov weie unable to toll.
None of tbe mediums scorned to bare sufllolent
power to lay the disiarbiug spirit benath tho waves
ot the Red rea.
"Tho master and mistress of the family beina com-
n unicauts of the iJapust Church, iimmtte the oir-
cuingtaiicos of taoir strange visitation to iheir t'astor ;
una on eaiuruay evening mat aeiiutinan, acoom
panied by another clerjrvman, went to the haunted
aweUiDg to pass the night. With one of these clori
cal gent'enen we had a protracted interview He is
a very clear minded scholar, has teceived a co'lcgiate
tiDiuiiia. aud during uis studies naid considerable
attention to tbe seeming phunonnna of natural phi
losophy. He assures ua 'bat be entered the haunted
dwelling with too deiief that tho inmates wore tbe
dnpB ol tilekerv, and be leit tliu bouse yesterday
morning perpkxed in the ext-euie. 8oon after be
euteied the panor a hyuin-b.iok wa pro;ectod from
a table ana tnrown witn vlo.euce bkoiusi tbe door.
With his own bands ho riekod on the boob and re
placed If s before Ins eyes the volume was seized by
an invisible lorco, and lor a second time tbrown
across the room, and a testament sent to keep it
company."
' This morning onr contemporary devotes more
than halt a column to the marvellous phenomena.
The excited reporter tells us that he visited the
house yeeterdny, wont "upstairs, downstairs,
aud in the lady s chamber," and besides hearing
lou 1 noises, saw just nothing.
The real truth ot tne story, suteo out lrom the
mass of exacrseration and fabrication surround
ing it, is simoly this: A family living in an un
pretending three-story brick house," in "the ld
lhstrict of Southwark," happen to be in the
retail dry-goods line. The retail dry-goods
trade is not as brisk as some other trades at the
present writing; but advertiin is the soul of
business, and a ghost is a capital advertisement.
A ghost doesn't cost ten cents a line, or more,
lor its "displays." a ghost is never liable to be
crowded out." but, on the contrary, thrives
best when the crowd is blgaest. A ghost can go
in among the reading matter, with startling
heud-lines; while another form oi advertisement
would be excluded from the local columns. So,
in every way, tbe ghost, even if he smashes
mockery and furniture, is the cheapest and most
preferable advertisement.
Mill there is one marvellous teature ot this
ghostly sensation and that is the conduct of the
reporter, ror instance, ne tens us, this morn
ing: Shortly afteiwards. whl'e several ot tbe family
and our reporter were seated in the kitchen, waittne
lor develoi merits, a heavy orasb was heard up stairs,
accompanied with tbe violeut screams ol two or turoe
young iadie. Here was something, t.louifht our
reporter. Up stairs everybody ran and mot the
creaming young ladies running down, with unutter-
an e liorror depleted on tneir countenances, iiie
iront tbirdrstoiy room was entered a?ain, and it
was found that a large wasbstand, containing wash
basin aud various other articles, bad been thrown
violently to the floor, and th basin broken Into a
dozen pieces, ibe young ladies Btated, as soon as
they recovered from their apparent fright., that the
wasbstand was upset botore their own eyes."
It would have occurred to almost anybody
else, that the young ladies with horror-stricken
countenances were themselves the authors of
tbe crash, which they "saw with their wen
eyes 1" If not, what business had they up-stsirs
alo e, away from the bosom of their tamily,
with 110 one to protect them acainst Hying wath-
Dasins ana lurkine devils, especially when ian
interesting reporter was down stairs, striking :up
an acquaintance with the family?
Supportiko a Falling Max. A new
and novel way of supporting a tailing man, tar
superior to that illustrated by" Clarke in his play
ot Toodles. transpired last night. A trio of tier
man citizens, on their wav lo the ball.de-iired to
purchase masks. At Sixth and Market streets
they came across a store, and oni of them being
slightly mellow, his comrades being alburn" I to

individual making laughable pantmiiime; ".Move

the Teuton. The ouieer giving mm a snove, a-S'

men, the widows and orphans of deceased tiro
men, and persons lnlured while aiding in the
extinguishment of fires, have amounted to the
sum ol $1G!)5 -68. This was distributed among
filty individuals, of whom sli were widows ani
orphans. The expenses paid for funerals were
$li)0. The entire amount expended in relief
since tbe institution of the Association is
$2rt,3!)W2. 25 new members have been aded
to the roll since last report, 13 of whom are life
members.
The Trustees are glad to announce that not a
single rame has been erased duilng the past
twelve months tor non-payment of the annual
dues.
At this time there are 273 life members and
010 annual members, making a total of 1 183.
The cash balance on hand Is $646-39. The
capital stock of the Association la $32,980-80, an
increase of $124285 over the previous yuar.
The receipts were $513323; amount expended,
the same.
Donations to the funds of the Association have
been to the amount of $179"60, as follows:
Messrs. Aoolpb A Keen, $100; John D. Brown,
$50; Washington Fire Company $12 60; and from
Mr. William Winterer, $17.
From David M. Lyle, Esq.. Chief Engineer
Fire Department, has been received the sum of
sixty dollars, being for penalties imposod by
him on various lire companies for violation of
city ordinances. There hai aho been received
$1325, being tbe balance remaining in the hands
of the treasurer ol a Firemen's Convention
called for the purpose of arranging an escort for
the Good Intent Hose Company ou their return
from Pittsburg. Other conventions have or
dered a similar disposition to be made ot their
surplus funds, Lut the4 money has not yet been
paid to tbe treasurer.
In tbe last report attention was called to the
immoderate speed and reckless manner in which
some steam fire engines are driven through the
streets during an alarm of fire; and it was hoped
that the companies owning i-teara engines would
regard our notice and remedy the evil; but the
Board regret that such has not been the case,
and on almost every occasion that calls for
the services ot our tire department, the drivers
of some cneines allow their horses to dash along
at a fearful rate, imperilling human lite, and to
the frequent injury of the apparatus and the
ijuujc miliums wuicu arag it.
On tho Kith of February, 18G5, a law went into
operation compelling the closing of all hatch
ways in stores and warehouses after the comple
tion ot each day's business, in order to prevent
the frequent accidents to firemen entering such
buildings in the dark. Besides the preservation
ol life and limb, a strict compliance with this
law win prevent the spreai ol many Bres, ana
the destruction ot much property. The law has,
however, been greatly disregarded. At the
great fire about a week since, at Delaware
avenue and Vine streets, and at the one last
night in North Third street, the hatchways were
louca open, in Dotn cases Bremen were very
seriously injured. The Association intend to
commence prosecutions immediately, and here-
alter in every case wnere the law la violated.
Tl' offenders are subjected to a lino of $50 for
each offense, the money to go for the benefit of
the Association for the Kelief of Disabled
t iremen.
Pbobablk Homicide The Captain of
British Bum Supposed to be Mortally
Woukded Onr of his Cbew Charged with tub
Offense. This morning an outrage occurred
upon board the English Drig lheodurus, lying at
the toot of Dickerson street whart, lust below
Itcea street. As far as wo could learn, tbe cir
cumstances were these: An Irish seaman,
giving his name as Morris Abrahams, or Morris
A. II earn, one oi the crew of the Tneodorus.
went aboard the brig at an early hour. Captain
Joseph H. Cox was on deck at the time, and
ordered Abrahams to go to work. He imme
diately discovered that he was disposed to give
indications of insubordination, ant made due
preparations to entorce obedience. Abrahams
Lad been locked up for several days, having
been suspected of an intention to desert. Angry
words and an altercation followed, when the
seaman drew a sheath knife and plunged it into
the leit side ot Captain Cox, and also cut him on
tne cheek and forehead. Unicer Jolin crawtord,
Constable ol the Fifth Ward, who was at hand,
assisted by Officers John O'Donnell and James
Nolen. went aboard the brig, and arrested Abra
hams, and brought him before Alderman Dough
erty, who committed mm ana two other parties
who were present to prison, upon the charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill, to await
the result of Captain Cos's injuries.
The brig was preparing to c.ear irom tnis port
for Gibraltar this morning, and preparations
were being made at the time the assault was
committed. At the time the assault was made
tbe offender was entirely sober, and the attack
entirely unprovoked.- lie was very boisterous
in his action, and was exciting others of the
crew to riotous conduct and mutiny. The iu-
luries inflicted upon Captain Cox are of such a
chararter as to produce death, in tne opinion ot
the surgeons, and but little hope is entertained
ot his recovery. The accused has a rather vicious
countenance, is evidently without education,
and gives evidence of haviug led a dissipated
life. He was taken to the County Prison, to
await the results ot the case.
HoHHiBLE Accident. This morning,
about halt-past 8 o'clock, a most shocking catas
trophe occurred at Alexander's eaw-mill, Nos.
336 and 5'8 New Market street, Eleventh WarJ.
Edward Gray, aged ao vears, was ensracea in
oiling some machinery, when a large saw was
started in operation bv his brother. The latter
occupied such a position as not to be able to
observe Cray, and tho saw in descending came
in rontact with the head of tho unfortunate
man. A huge bolt in one end of the saw was
driven into Gray's temple, causing instant death.
The saw in ascending raised the dead body,
which fell to the ground with a terrible thump.
Tne brother of the deceased was almost frantic
with grief when he learned what .had happened.
The deceased leaves a wile and several children
residing in Camden.
