THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 18GG.
MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.
Sanitary Precautions. Ths Sanitaiy
Committee ol Council has taken the piecnu
lionary BtopB in the nmttT of notifying hoii?e
kecpers and property liol(lcrn,that they must, hy
the first of May next, have all nulanccs, tilth,
parbnpc, etc., removid from their prcmlnes;
also, that all places where water accumulates
and becomes etaenant fihall be filled up, and
their pUces otherw ice kept clean. If It it not
done by the time uppctticd, the city authorities
will have it attended to at the expense of such
properly owner. This measure should be car
ried out to the utmost extent, for there are many
places absolutely filthy, and calculated to en
gender disease. Should the cholera make its
appearance in Camden, they would contribute
largely to the Tirulence ol that scourge.
Cleaning the Streets. The process ot
rlcanlnj; the streets has again commenced.
Workmen aie en-raped in scraping the dirt up in
little heaps; but the practise hcretotore has been
to let it thus remain until the wind and passing
vehicles scatter it about aeain, making it fit
for another scraping. If the Committee would
sec that it was carted away 89 soon as scraped
the work would be of Borne ubo to the city, and
more acceptable to the lax-payers.
Accident. Yesterday afternoon a man
named Frank Gillett, a workman employed at
the depot ot the Camden Bnd Amboy Railroad,
met with a ad accident, by which one of his
arms was broken.
Assault and Battery. Yesterday Jus
tlcc Cassudy held a man and hie wile to bail in
one thousand dollars, to answerV at Court the
charge ol a violent assault and battery on a man
named Armstrong.
CITY INTELLIGENCE
For Additional Local Jtms see Fifth Page.
Board of Trade. Tho stated monthly
meeting for April was held last evening. . The
President being culled away, Vice-i'resldeut
Merrick occupied the chair.
Mr. (jcorpe L. Husby, from the Committee ap
pointed to urge upon the Legislature the change
of the legal rate of interest to seven per cent.,
made a final report:
The Committee had twice vblted Harrlsburg
in pursuance of the duty of incir appointment.
At tbeir first visit the bill hud, without opposi
tion, and with every prospect of final accept
ance, gone to a third reading in the House; and
with every reason to expect its passage in the
Benate without serious opposition, they had re
turned and reported favorable progress. They
bad also the encouragement o! a favorable recep
tion ot the proposition by the Governor. They
were, however.uneipectcdly disturbed inthlsex
pcrtation by tho picscntation of a new bill, pro
posing to confer upon the banks ot the Bute the
right, under certain conditions, of charging
Beven per cent., and restricting its operation to
item alone.
Conceiving this to be in every way impolitic,
and an invidious distinction, they proceeded a.
second time to Harris hurt; to urge upon the
members the passage ot the bill originally pro
posed. They had failed to accomplish the ob
ject, though the proposition met the approval of
all the repieaentatives of mercantile constituen
cies, and ot those from border localities, where
is more distinctly felt the drain of capital to the
neighboring States of Ohio and New York by
their higher rate of interest; but the fears of
those who represent the interior and agricultu
ral sections lest the emctment ot such a law
Bhould operate to call in mortaagc9, and to en
hance the rate ot interest on permanent loans on
farms and other securities on real property, pre
vailed 10 the defeat ot the measure.
The committee, however, believe that pro
gress has been made; that the conviction that
traffic in money should be perfectly free, like all
other trade, is gainina ground; and that it is to
be expected thai at some day in the future, not
far distant, the proposed bill may be expected
to become a law.
The committee asked to be and were dis
charged. A communication was received and referred
to the Committee of the Mouth, in reference to a
bill now betore Congress having for its object to
" secure the admission of qualified and deserving
boys, upon examination, from tho apprentices
in the navy to the Naval Academy, thus brcuk
ing down tlmt barrier of caste which has already
been swept away in the army, but which here
tofore has been maintained in the navy, to the
restriction and extinguishment of all the hi.jb.er
aspirations of the common sailor. TheCommit
tee of the Month were announced to be Mesbrs.
Wheeler, Townsend, and Thornton Crown.
Bridge over idte Schuylkill at Soctii
Street. The Chief Engineer and Surveyor has

same and approved by a majority of the said

for no other purpose than the construction of
said bridge.
Section 3. That so much ot section fourth of
an act passed April 18, lsol, entitled "An act to

Exhibition of Plants. At a monthly
meeting of the Horticultural Society, held last
evenine at tne Han, lirouu ana wainutrtrects,
there was a tine display of choice plants. Some
luscious Cook's strawberries attracted much at
tention. As the season' ail vances the monthly
displays ot the Society will become more and
more interesting.
Temperance. We desire to call especial
attention to the advertisement of the Fhiladel-
nhia Temperance Society, and advise every one
who believes draukenness to be a vice to attend
the ineettnif to be held to-morrow evening.
Dedication. The Soldiers' and Sailors'
Orphan Boys' Home, situated at No. 309 8. Ele
venth street, waa formally dedicated on Monflay
evening. After appropriate devotional exercises
on the part of several clergymen, Mr. Francis
Wells, a member of the committee, delivered an
explanatory address in reference to the orizln
of the Instltntlon, and also of the groat Interest
taken by Miss McIIcnry, who raised the funds
necessary tol effect the design of Its founders,.
This patriotic lady In a couple of months waf
instrumental in raising the handsome sum of
24,000, sufficient to purchase and lit up tho
Home. It will accommodate about one hundred
orphan.
The building has a front of thirty-nine feet
and a depth of one hundred and eighty feet,
with a large yard, which has been fitted up bb
a play-cround. The first story is divided into
two Fchool-rooms and a library. The remaining
upper stories will be used as sleeping apart
ment. The bathing accommodations are ex
cellent. It is expected that fifty pupils will bo
received into the home in the course of a few
weeks, for which, by act of the Assembly, the
State will pay two dollars per week tor each.
The balance for the maintenance of the orphans
wilt have to be made up by voluntary contribu
tors. This is an institution which will probably
be well supported, as it should be. Sometimes
it is called (he Lincoln Institute, which may
perhaps lead to contusion, as the Lincoln Insti
tute was organized by the wounded soldiers in
the military hospital "in Christian street, above
Ninth, very shortly alter the assassination of
President Lincoln.
Cool Proceeding. On Monday after
noon a burglar entered the residence ot Joseph
hank, Esq.Von North Sixth street, from the ad
joining building, in which workmen were em
ployed, and ransacked the drawers of one or two
ot the bedrooms, and very probably would have
succeeded in doing damage, had it not been that
a daughter of Mr." Hanks, in coming out of her
room, dit-turbed the villain, who deliberately
walked past her and remarked that ho was aonm
to fix the roof. She believing what he said to
be true, and taking him for due of the workmen
of the adjoining houe, allowed him to pass, and
did not discover her mistake itntil entering the
chamber of her brother, whi re she found things
in a very contused state. There was no onoin
the house at the time except herself and the
servant. She Immediately gave the alarm, but
the bird had flown and taken with him a small
pocket-pistol, the property of Mr. William D. F.
Uank. It was alo di covered that the same thief
had paid a visit to the oue ot Mrs. John Gib
son, but the family being in the siitng-room, he
did not succeed in getting anything. House
keepers cannot be too careful in' regard to lock
ing up their premises and keeping a careful eye
upon strangers who may visit their premises for
real or assumed purposes, as robberies of the
boldest character are taking place almust hourly
in all quarters ot the city.
A Long Exemption. Alderman Beitlor
last evening gave audience to a sailor named
McGonigle. He has lately lelt the United States
service, v,here his duty was faithfully done. Iu
December, 18G4, he worked for Mr.Dolau, at the
Keystone Knitung Works. At the hearing that
gentleman testified that several bags ol' clip
pines and waste, valued at abort sixty dollars
per bag, were stolen from the mill. Two of
tbrse bags wore sold trom the house where the
sailor resided, in Second street, above Jefferson.
An intelligent colored porter, who removed tne
sacks, corroborated this fact. They were sold
to a dealer in Decatur street, who affirmed tho
purchase, but could not identify Mclioniglo as
the man who made the sale. 'The latter ad
mitted the disposal of the clippings, but said
there was no theft, the! bags being brought to
the house by a man named Daniel D. Hickey.
$800 bail for his appcarauce at Court was asked,
and promptly tendered.
The Hose Carriage Won ry the Vigi
lant. The hose carriage voted lor at the Fair
lor the benefit of St. Augustiue's Church was
won by the Vigilant Engine Company. During
the twelve days of the Fair the open ballots
numbered for the Vigilant 3K25; Columbia Hose
Company 058. Tho sealed ballots, on the last
niyht and last hour of the fair, were: Vigilant,
2325; Columbia, 098. Total for the Vigilant,
6150; for the Columbia, 1G50. Maiority for th
former, 4404. CLicf Engineer Lyle was tho
judge, and tho ballots were opened by himself.
The nresentation speech was made bv him. and
the carnage was received on behalf of the com
pany by Mr. Joseph Bonham. About $2000
were netted to the Fuir by the votes on the hose
carriatre. yesterday the carriasre was named
throutch a portion of the city by the members
of the Vigilant, preceded by a lull band of
music. .
Fire. An alarm, shortly before three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, wa3 caused by the
burning of the roof and upper portion ot the
three-storiCd bricK .building corner of Front and
Mareretta streets, occupied as a dwelling by a
lady named Ann Dacosta. whose loss on furni
ture will amount to about $2D0, which is fully
covered by insurance in the America Fire In
surance Company. The building belongs to J.
lie Coursty, and was damaged to the extent of
$300. Insured In the Hand-in-IIand Fire In
surance Company.
A Free Night School for Young Mkn.
The "Social Union," an association formed
during the past season by a number of benevo
lent gentlemen and ladies, for the moral and
social improvement of young men in the
northern section of the city, have opened a free
night school at the new hall, at No. 040 N. Sixth
street, where the elements ot a common-scnuol
education will be taught, free of charge. The
spirit f howu by the members ol tkis association,
commend it to the earnest attention of all
clashes of citizens.
New Pilot Boat. To-morrow afternoon
a beautiful pilot boat will be launched from the
ship sard, foot of Reed Street Wharf. She is to
to namea in memory oi me iaie lamented
Henry Cope of Philadelphia. Her cabins are
fitted up in exquisite stylo, the whole being
lined with rosewood, polished like marble, re
lieved by delicate mouldings of white and cold.
Her haichines ana companion ways, th fram
ings tor the mast, etc., are ot solid walnut, four
inches thick.
On a Strike. The coal shippers at Port
Kichmond eave notice that on and alter Monday,
the 16th, they would reduce tho wages ot the
trimmers to 25 cents per hour. The workmen
interested in the matter resist such reduction.
and aie now on a strike. A meeting ot the irun
merB was held yesterday, and they adopted re
solutions pledging themselves to use all proper
means to prevent me reuac ion.
Bold Attempt at Larceny. A few
days fince a gentlemanly-looking fellow stepped
iuto a More on Eighth street, and alter pricing
a number of costly goods laid a number of pieces
aside, and, when through, deliberately picked
up the heap and walked out. Fortunately the
proprietor of the store eutered just In time to
slop mm, ana after taking tne goous irom mm
allowed him to depart.
