COMMUMtOATIOH.
To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph i i
Philadelphia, July W Dear Birr rieaie
allow me space in your columns to my lew tbinzs
in regard to tbo 'Singular Case" whieh appeared
in your local column of to-day. 1 only
wish to say that, ib due time. I shall expose
to the pnlil.o one of the most infamous
cases of 'black mail" which oyer startled any
community. 1 he woman reterred to was a sab-
Ject of ehantT,1as were many other indigent '
IVIIIKIVB, uarinff lajlT. wlntA 4tl mnnMlUm h th I
cnantanie institution with which I am conaeoted.
Aet ine severity of the winter paused away her
frequent appeals for aid were donied, aa ours was
an institution for the benefit ot poor ohlldron, Not
Ion after this notes were addressed to me demand
Ins; moneys, and threatening Injury to my charac
ter II the demand was not met.i It has but re
cently appeared now this injury ww to be in
flicted. To numerous threaienlng notes I hare
paid no attention. Ho two el the notes were in
the i sanr.e handwriting, but alt from the sams oaroe,
and all ce rancmg money first beginning with two
hundred dollars, and reaching tip aa high, Anally, as
two thoosand dollars! All these were accompanied
with threats of injur? to my character.
Recently, a note was received stating that if I
would pa ClOOU it would "save me." ravin? no
attention to this, the next prooeedlnr against me
was that detailed in your oolumns of yesterdsy.
The whole t auaaotion is most infamous, and I
only ask of the pob io the exercise of that charity
which is due trora man to man, until I make these
things appear before the proper tribunal, berore
which 1 hare chosen to appear rather than succumb
to a villanoaa eflort to extort money. Evidence is
abundant, and aitalnab e, which will enable me to
establish my innocence of the base charres made by
the perjured Tiotira of a conspiracy moat infamous.
In order that the Home for Little Wanderers may
not sutler undor these circumstanoes, I hay ten
dered to the worthy Board my resignation of the
office ot (superintendent, and asust gratefully ac
knowledge tne symoatuy shown mo. 1 beg of the
charitable public to ra'ly to the continued suapor..
of the institution, whose interests lie near my heart,
and which us frlonds will not alio to suffer

Commencement of the Boys' Ckxtbal
11 ion School. The Semi-annual Commencement
of the Boys' Central High School took plaoe this
morning at the llusical Fnnd Hall, which wa
crowded to its tall capacity by an intelligent and
fashionable audience, among which the fairer sex,
as usual, beld the greater sway. For a wonder, oa a
Commencement occasion, the morning was cool and
pleasant, and the larire audience were thus privi
leged to enjoy to the fullest extent the lntelleotual
treat of the day.
The Central High School, although not ranking by
name among ibe colleges of this country, Is essen
tially an Institution ot a collegiate character, and has
justly attained a high reputati n, not only through
out this city, but the Slate and country. Being local
in Its organization, and all its gtudonts necessarily
residents of the city, the pooplo ot Philadelphia are
more interested in its success than in that of any
other educational institution in our midst. For this
reason the semi annual Commencements are always
looked forward to with a treat deal ot pnde and
anxiety on the part of its friends and patrons.
The Commencement hela this morning was by no
means unequal in point of interest or suooeas to pre
ceding ones, ir.e young gentlemen who favored
the audience with their views on the general
topics of the day wore, it is true, some
what given to the sophomorloal style of elo
quence; but this is 'a characteristic of tne
youthlul student's mind, which, after contact
with the sharp corners and rough edges of the
world soon wears oil Taen altogether, they were
fully equal to the general run oi orations on college
occasions, and the stylo oi thj compositions and
manner of delivery showed careful and anxious
preparation on the part of tbe orators, and a con
scientious critioism on the part of their instructors.'!
The first thing in the order of exeroises was a per
formance oi the inevitable braes band. A college
commeucrment without martial music would, in
deed, be a strange anomaly. But a it was the re
nownea Gerniai.ia Orolu stra that officiated on this
occaaion.it was a matter of no regret to the audience.
Alter prayer, by the Kev William 1'. Kve, the in
troductory Address was delivered by Clifford P.
McCalla, Esq , of the Philadelphia Bar an Alumnus
ol the High School ot everai years standing. The
topio ot his discourse was tbe general aim and ob
ject ol au education, which was eniorced in a vivid
manner by many apt reloronces to the history of the
past. His sptcial references 10 the Central High
.school were greeted by the audience with hearty
rounds of applause.
ihe Salutatory Address, the second honor of the
day, was delivered by Mr vvorthington B. fhomas.
As ts customary, it was composed in Latin. Net
withstanding that it was thus unintelligible to the
mass of the audience, they paid the ntmost atten
tion, and greeted the speaker heartily when he re
tired, as well as when he appeared.
The thud honor, the .Historical Address, was
delivered by 11 r. Curtis N. Harris, who gave a short
and toise eketoh of the loundation ana history of
liberty in our own country, closing with an apt
poetical quotation. Mx. llains' e libit was very
satisfactory to the audience, as was indicated by the
continued ch era wbiou followed him to his seat.
The Scientific Address, ranking fourth in tbe order
of honors, was next in ordi-r, beinir delivered by Mr.
John W. Mlllick. The substance of Mr. Mulick's
oration was retiulated by its title, consisting of a
general review ot the course of soient flo discovery.
The noble part taken by this country in the onward
march of solenoe was forcibly noticed, and gained for
the speaker tbe approbation of ais hearers.
The first oration, which had no apeclal designation
of honor, was then delivered by (dr. John B. Colla
ban Jr., hia subject being "Oratory." Alter no
ticing tbe importance and effect of this noble gift,
Mr. Coliahan proceeded to sketch the history of
oratory, and the most notable possessors ot it in
ancient and modern times. Although the Faculty
. oi tbe High School had not designated Mr. Cotlahan
as one of tbe 'honor men," his oration was not
unequal to those which had preceded him.
The audience was then tieated to an oration in
German ty Mr. Samuel N. Levi, his subjeot being
"Education." Although but few oould appreciate
his words and sentiments, every one was pleased
with his thorough earnestness, and rewarded him
accordingly.
An oration on "Genius" was then delivered by
Mr. James M. West. nr. West reviewed the career
ot ihoae who have been favored with this ' inborn
gift" in all the branches ot art, soienoe, government,
and war) lollowing it ep with an enumeration ot tbe
tiosuble achievement ot those who are to follow
them. Applanse and bouquets greeted him, as all
the rest, at the close.
The Honorary Address, the first honor In point oi
scholarship, hail been awarded to Sylveater . Mb-c-argee,
who delivered an oration on tue impat
sioned dreamt of vou'h. The glories of the
osnqueror, tne charms of luxury, the joys of
love were set lortb as tliov appear in
the vague future to the dreamer, and
then the warning ot their emptiness was given him.
Mr. Megargee, who attracted oonsideiable attention
bv reason oi bis s anding at the head ot his class a a
scholar, is a ne vous and lorcib e speaker tin eflort
to-day well merited the continued applause whioh it
received.
Tbe onl'eriing ot degrees was next In order,

Ibe exercises were oioaed by the Taledlclory Ad
(re, ueUrered by Mr, Alfred U. H. Uerknass.
Hi oration Is awarded bv the Faonlty with special
reference to oratorical qualifications, and without
regard te scholarship.
Mr. Hersnea wa therefore to be conidored the
most e'oqnent member of his mass. He certainly
exhbited more maturity and cultivation than most
ol the oraor of the dar.
Addressing hlmplt first of all to the Doard of Con
trol, he turned next to the Faoultv, and tuon to the
eradoatina class, reviewina the connection tner

-T. '
1 he occasion was Indeod an Impressive one, and
Mr. Herkne-t did It full Justice. He had scarcely
retired to bis seat, amid a shower of bouqunia and
brief rounds of applause, when some one in the
audience called on Frniossor Maiuire fora speech.
As be continued shouting "Magutro," the audlenoe
was thrown Into a tumuli, mistaking tee
words for those of "Fire I ore!" Ladies
maoe an mxtnnt rush for the door, and gentlemen,
more anxious to know the direction in whioh
tlie danger lay, quickly mounted the seats look
In gerlv here and there to catch a gllmoee of
the dread devouring element. In the meantime, the
band had 'commenced upon their Jf are well eft union,
and fora moment evtrytblng looked as though a
"ncene" wss aDout to be enacted. But fortu
nately the mistake was soon discovered The
udicnoe, however, having made a fair start
for tlie door, still struggled on, deaf
lor the nme to the attractive uproar ot the tiormania.
The hall was cleared in quick time, no one tliinking
ot. much less stopping to listen to, the customary
benediction.
Great Riot Among Firemen Sever kl
Pxrhonh shot Aw Exoitiho Horns Dunnr the
past week or ten days there appears to have been a
disposition on the part of the runners and mimbirs
oi some of tbe fire companies to create an om break,
and during that time quite a n amber of serious re
sults have flowed from tbis ooune of conduot.
Another disturbance took place last evening soon
alter tbe lire tn North Second street.
It appears that the Shiftier, Niagara, Franklin,
and Weccaooe Fire Companies were returning from
the fire, when a fight took place at Second and
Monroe streets between some men who wore stand
ing on tbe corner of these streets, during whieh
bricks were thrown by some of the membors and
adherents of the M tagara Hose.
There were no equipped people belonring to the
Bluffier or Weccaooe in the fight, tbe only
equipped members being those ol the Niagara and
Franklin.
During the melee, members of the Niagara Hose
Company, equipped, came from the direction of
th hone huimii and fired runs down Monroe
street, the firing of whioh took efloot
in the person of a ohila standing in Its
lather's door, In Second, above Sheets street;
also, on the person of John W. Callahan, a citizen,
who was shot in the eye; also, a number ot the mem
bers of tbe Franklin Engine Company were shot In
different parts of the body, none of whioh ware
serious.
There were no arrests made on account of the con
fusion which ensued. The soene at one time was
qnl e alaiminp, and brought foroiblv to the mind
the scenes which were Dresented during the
Movameming riots, when our oity became tbe by
word and reproach ot our own as weil as residents
ot other plaoes. Chief Lvle has taken the matter in
band, and will see that the guilty parties are brought
to justice and a just punishment metod out to them.
The Presidents of the companies reported to have
been implicated In the disturbance, were summoned
before Chief .Lyle this morning, when an investiga
tion took place, resulting In the exhoneration ot all
the companies named, exoept tao Niagara Hose,
who remsed to be represented.

tongue came out, striking one of the horses whioh
Mr. Maglnms was driving, ine animai imme
diately started off at a rantd rate, and ran as tar as
Ninth and Federal streets, where became in contact
with a tree-box. striking oue ol bis legs so violently
that it was broken by the blow. The carnage was
da-hed to pieoes, and tbe two gentlemen named were
thrown out and bad their ankles imotured. They
wire subsequently removed to their residences,
