THE METEOR HOAX.
Mar-Gazing Extraordinary A Gajr and
Happy" Party at the Ftlrmouot Park
The Stan AVouldn't Come Down.
The announcement by the learned prophets of
a great meteotic shower to take place on tbe
night ot the 13th or 14th of this month, caused a
little stir all through the country. There are so
many who can remember tue great shower ot
1833, that their descriptions ol the wonders of
that time gave a keen cd&e to the anticipated
pleasure ot the recently expected display. It is
firobable that no people were ever so thoroughly
ntercstcd, and so on the qui cite to see any
tpectaclc, as our citizens were to see this one.
But, alas I all their pleasant anticipations have
becu baulked, and everybody is settling down
to a keen disenst. The question has, over and
over again, been asked: "Have you seen anv
meteors lulling?" A dumb but expressive
motion of tbe head would be the only answer.
But to tho subject of our story Voting
America always goes Into enthusiasm upon
every new attraction thnt strikes upon his vision,
or r'pon every project that ha for Its chief
merit novelty. The approaching fiery rain from
heaven was too good an opportunity tor having
a irolic to be lost. Accordingly, a party of some
twenty-five young people, ladies and gentlemen,
arranged a sort of plcuic or gipsy patty to pro
ceed to I'alrmount Park and wait for the starj
to come down. Shortly alter dark they started
on their excursion, and a merry party thev
were. There were blankets and shawls and all
manner Of appliances that could conduce to the
comlort of the lair cnthu.-iasts and their cava
liers. Edibles were In nbuudauce, and, we may
as well say it, drin kabies were also; and there
was much among the latter that was stronger
than water.
Tbe party went to the Park, ami sut down to
await in patience the eventful hour when tb'
portentous shower should make its appearance.
In gay chat, and in laughing good humor, they
sat through the first hours ot the night. Many
a strange and ghostly story was told under the
influence ol the weird shadows of the ttees, and
the ghostly whisperings and the wailing of the
wind through the branches. With a sort of hall
shuddcring, half-pleased look, the fair facs
would be turned upwards, in hopes that the
stars would soon come down. But, as hour
after hour passed, and the story lost its interest,
and even the brilliant stroke's of wit could not
raise a laugh Irom the tired and wearied mind,
when the sharp raillery of the more wakeful
and mischievous could hardly provoke a re
partee, there were many halt-discouraged ones
who wished heartily that a less gorgeous roof
was over their heads than the sturspanglcd
canopy of heaven.
As midnight came and passed as the "wee
sma' hours" of morning becan slowly to appear,
there was many a nid-nodding, and some mali
cious persons of the party have distinctly said
that most musical sounds were heard In the
direction of some of the fair ladies. But as
such an imputation is a reflection upon the sex
generally, no reasonable mun held Fuch an ld''a
for a moment. One o'clock two oVIoek three
o'clock and Btill the tired watchers of the night
at their posts saw the '"twinkling stars" laugh
ing at them. Another hour drags its slo;y
length along, and four o'clock is tolled. The
bells are now ringing, and tho sleepers a'e
roused. The jaded heads ore r a used. All
jump upon their feet and gaze around
at the expected signal. "Do you see them?" "Do
you? do you?" is rntked eagerly, each one think
ing bis or her eye?ight is not to be relied on.
But all have to come down to the sad reality
that the meteors were non eat. And oh, the
looks of disgust and disappointment that were
exchanged between the star-gazers 1 We pity
the man who prophesied the expected wond'-r.
We question whether he would have a spare
lock of hair left in his devoted hea l, or a bone
that would remain whole, altor Jthey had done
with him. The cret-tallen and disheartenet
seekers after aerial wonders kept up their
vigils until the grey shades of morning began
to brighten up the eastern horizon, and then
departed to their hollies, mentally resolving
never to belie v in modern prcipnets or pro
pbtcies. The AprBOACii of Christmas. The
fancy goods trade i? opening promptly, in pre
paration for tbe Christmas holidays. It is already
lively, and the demand promises to, increase.
The call for expensive articles, from the rich
diamonds of the jeweller down to toys for chil
dren, will be fully equal to that ot last year,
even if it does not exceed it a certain Bign that
money continues plentiful and the disposition
for free expenditure remains unchanged. Tbe
articles distinctively know as "fancy goods" are
in wonderful variety, and often ot elegant de
sign. Tbe prevailing fashion if the large
amounts of imported stocks may be regarded as
the standard of an accurate judgment calls tor
ornaments in cut jet and silver niagree. rue
demand for these articles is so great that tbe
stock in some of our lamest importing houses is
already exhausted, and neV invoices are on the
way Irom Europe. The jet goods made iu Paris
are principally pennants, cut in a variety ol beau
tiful and fantastic iorms. The bulk of the fila
gree work Is of Genoese manufacture. The
jewellers and general dealers are iraportiug com
paratively small amounts, merely to give variety
to their heavier and more valuable stocks of
goods. The capital invested in tbe lancy goods
trade alone is greater now than at any former
period, and the brisk demand from buyers who
can afford to gratify refined tastes Insures quick
sales and large protits in tins line ot Dusines-,
as well as in the more extensive operations ot
the dealers in gold and silverware and exppn-
sive leweiry. we notice among the novelties
of the scasou a curious collection of fancy boxes
finished In all kinds of wood, costly snuil'-boxes
with mechanical singing -birds;, cigar vases ot
ingenious device, an extraordinary array of
ornamental fans, and other knick-knacks which
are of no particular use, but still are exceed
ingly pretty. The dealers in these goods will
tempt aitt-ouvers into timely preparation tor
the coming Christmas.
Charged with Misdemeanor. Another
case of receiving stolen goods, knowing them to
be stolen, was up belore Alderman Toland yes
terday afternoon. It appears that on the night
of the 12th. some persons, unknown, euterod
the schooner William Walton, lying at Pir
No. VI, ontheuicnniond trout, aud stole riggin '.
etc., to the amount of $100. Ollicer Myers, of
the Harbor I'once, receiving notice that the
stolen goods had been disposed of to a man
named William Shatun, iu Poplar street, below
Beach, went lucre witn a searcn warrant, and
found the stolen goods stowed away in a seer 't
place. The proprietor of the place was arrested,
und had a hearing before Alderman Toland.
At the hearing H was touna lie una bought the
eoods for less thau one-third their value. He
was neiu in snu oau io au-wer.

a portion of It fell some time since. This morn
ing, about 10 o'clock, as Mr. Ritmver and an
assistant bv the nanin of Charles Ilolman were
engaged in repairing the rear wall, it lell to the
ground with a crash.
Mr. ilolman was burtra neneaip me ruiu-,
and when taken out was dead. Mr. Ritmyer
was likewise wounded, but it is believed not
seriously. Ilolman was twenty years of age,
and resides at Tenth an I Fairish streets.
A considerable excitement was created in me
neighborhood by the event. An eager crowd
of people assembled, at the peril of their lives;
but the police promptly took possession of the
narrow court in which the house was situated,
and prevented all Improper persons from en
tering. The court which the house taces is oniy
about five feet in width, while the alley leading
to it from the street t-not more than two ieet
ana a halt in width. Wiihin Ihese narrow
limits the home lives of Ave families have been
circumscribed.
As mteht be expected, the fall of a portion ot
the bouse created a great consternation among
the tenants w ho did not tollow It to the grouniU
Still when our renorler was at the scene Ot
the disaster, the women, who were leaning out
of the windows, refused to leave tne ounuing

remaining tn tho building are exposed to con
siderable danger.
A Correction. We published tbe follow
ing item in our edition of Tuesday:
Larcemeb A man bv the name of William
llartnian was arrested yesterday aliernoon charurd
with rob tnn one ol his companions ot a littie
loose change. It appears thev were ail "lolly oo'ii-
panlous"! together, and were annoying the peao
ably disposed people in the neighborhood oi Kit-
tecnth and Canton streets, when ti e police appeared
on the scene, and arrested llartman and one or two
others. One of his companions charged Uarlnian
with having robbed him ol a small quantity of
clianpc, and upon searching him it was lound on his
person. He bad a hearing Dctore Alderman liuicn
iiison, who bold him in 88oO ball to answer.
The real facts of the case were that Mr. Hart-
man was kindly endeavoring to assist the
drunken roughs, when they charged him with
the theft. The charge was withdrawn, and Mr.
llartman was acquitted of all blame in the
matter. He is a man of unblemished character,
and tbe charge was wholly without foundation.
The money in his possession was some he had

posited for some time past.
an ugly customer. John Waid was
arrested on the stereotyped charge of assault'ng
an officer. John hud been indulging in the fra
grant distillation of old rye, and was in a state of
elevation that rendered mm oblivious of the
rights and privileges of others. In fact, he was
acting in nn extremely disorderly manner, in the
neighborhood of Frank ford road and Laurel
ctreet, when an officer tried to quiet him. But
John would not subside, nnd the officer under
took to arrest him, but "caught a larlar." The
assistance of a citizen was called, and John
fought them both, tearing tbe citizen's shirt
(literally), and beating the officer. He was
taken down, however, and lodged in the Station
House, and Irom thence taken before Alderman
Shoemaker, who held him to answer in the sum
ot $1000.
