TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1807.
CITY INTELLIGENCE.
( ADDITIONAL, 1)CAL llbllK BCS FIFTH PAOK.)
Mkktino at Franklin I.nktitote. A moot
ing of the Franklin Institute was hold last
evening, to riim-iiHH the proposed ordinances
iwfore City Counciln in reference to thn organi
sation of a department of inspection of stoam
boilers. The meeting was well attended, and
iuite a numlier of practical enginoors wore
present. J. V. Merrick presided, and Pro
fessor Morton acted as .Secretary. The minutes
of the preceding meeting were read and
approved, after which the ordinances sub
mitted in committee of Councils by Colonel
Page and Mr. Evans were read by the Secre
tary. The meeting then proceeded to com
pare the ordinances and act upon them by sec
tions. The title of the proposed bill was
agroed upon, as follows: .An ordinance
organizing a department for inspecting steam
engines and boilers." Mr. fellers moved an
amendment to the first section of Colonel
I'age's ordinance, as follows: "That the
Mayor shall appoint an advisory commission,
to consist of live persons, either practically
engaged in manufacturing steam engines and
boilers, or scientific experts familiar with their
management, whose duty it shall be to ex
amine candidates for the oflice of Chief In
f pector of Steam Engines and JJoilers.
The amendment was agroed to.
That part of the ordinances in reference to
the requirements of the 'Chief Inspector was
no amended so as to read, "That lie shall be
a practical mechanic of scientific abilities, and
shall have control ami oversight over all the
officers connected with the department, who
shall have been appointed by him and ap
proved by the Mayor."
'Die second section of Mr. Kvans' ordinance
was then discussed, and on motion, amended
as follows: "The Chief Inspector shall ap
point, with the approval of the Mayor and the
advisory commission, four assistant inspectors,
who shall be experienced and practical me
chanics in the construction and management
of steam engines and boilers, and shall be
capable of making all necessary calculations
and directions."
The other sections of the bill were not acted
upon, and the meeting adjourned to reassem
ble on Monday evening.
The " Shklteu" fok Colored Orphans.
The Thirty-first Annual Report of this institu
tion is just issued. The "Shelter" for friend
less and orphan colored children was started
forty-four years ago. The reasons assigned
for not making any public statement of its
operations for thirteen years has an historical
interest. The report says: "The association
in its early movements was scarcely cheered
with a hope of success. At the commencement,
and even long after, incredible as it may
appear, so strong was the aversion of some of
their white neighbors that it was difficult to
locate the Shelter. In the meantime it was
justly feared to adopt any measure which
might bring the Shelter, for colored orphans,
hefore the public. This train of difficulties has
been gradually subsiding, and is now reviewed
in retrospect to vindicate that system of silence
which has cast a veil of obscurity over years
f patient perseverance."
There are now 74 children in the Shelter, of
whom 15 are under four years of age; the
eldest is not over ten. These are all taken
from the lowest condition in life, where want
and dirt reign supreme.
In the list of officers and managers we do
not find the name of a single man. All its
affairs are managed by women.
The children are under good discipline, and
show more proficiency in the rudiments of
education, or in knowledge of scripture, than
can be found in any other institution. 1
An appeal is made by the Treasurer, Re
becca Carter, No. 329 South Twelfth street,
for more funds, to meet increasing expenses.
The building has a fine airy location in West
Philadelphia, near the terminus of the Market
street railroad, and is capable of accommodat
ing 200 children.
Afternoon Session ov the Reluuous Con
vention. The Convention met at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The following resolution was submitted by
the Rev. Mr. Stevenson:
.liesoh-ed, That Government being God's or
dinance, instituted not only for the good of
the people, but also for the glory of God and
for the establishment of His authority in our
world, it should only be administered by men
who are the friends of God and the faithful
subjects of His rule; and, therefore, for Chris
tian men to entrust the reins of government
to the hands of ungodly, profane, corrupt, and
intemperate men, the known enemies of the
Ruler whose authority they exercise, is to be
nnfaithful to the cause of God and the best
Interests of mankind. "As a roaring lion and
a raging bear, go is a wicked ruler over the
poor people." The resolution, after some
discussion, was adopted.
The following was submitted:
Jiesolved, That all objections to the prin
ciples set forth in the Constitu
tional Amendments- we propose, rest
ing upon the prohibition of all religious tests
in the Constitution, and of the establishment
of a national religion, do assume that the
nation, as such, should know no God an
assumption which is repudiated by the ablest
expounders of the Constitution.
The resolution, after some discussion, was
voted down.
In the evening addresses upon the sub
jects embraced in the. resolutions were
made by the Revs. Dr. Sloan, of New
York, Milligan, of Pittsburg, and others.
