Phu.aiki.phia, Not. 1. 18fl7.-At a meeting of the residents of Broad street, held last evening, It wh unanimously Srmived, That statement made la an editorial of the Not th American of Ne. it, 1887, are In every par ticular Incorrect (In mlitake, probably), that the widening f the fbotwayt doe not diminish, but does, on the contrary, increase the original coat and ex pense to the property owners. Setohtd, That our chief aim Is to embellish and beautlly our street. Ertoirvd, That we never had, and have not now. any lDtention of encroaching on the extended lootwar. Wtolvrd, That we do believe the opposition gotten np to defeat this Improvement of our favorite drive and promenade la but a forerunner of an effort which will be made the coming winter to roln It by a double rack borne railroad, Now, Mr. Editor, In pausing and publishing these resolutions we make no charge against his Honor the, .May or. but In delense of the charge of seldshness brought against m by the writer of the aforesaid arti cle, and to show the honesty of our purposes to our fellow-cltlxens. We do believe, from the absence of ail argument In hi Honor's veto sent to Common Council, there exists a power behind the throne which to us has proved Irresistible; or why should he refuse the petition of every property-holder on Broad Street T why disregard the request of his fellow-cltl-gens who crowd that thoroughfare, not only on Sun day, but on every pleasant afternoot t It Is ridiculous to say that It will interlere with the future Improve ment of the street. Bland on Ibe corner of Broad and Poplar streets, and look north; at this point commence the narrow ing, aiul you see nothing but one long stretch of pala tial residences, a beautllal avenue of trees, and all the evidences of future magnificence. Now look south; hfre the street widens, and what see you, with few exceptions, but mills, factories, blaoksmlth shoos, eoal and lumber yards? Now, Mr. Editor, all we want, and we are supported by nine-tenths of out fellow-citizens, Is permission to carry out and perfect ur original design. THOMAS A. REILLY, M. D. , Secretary.

This morn log, short ly after 7 o'clook. m I DJ?.?led K"betb Hayesentored tbe --liiii. unpartmeni, corner or Firm and Ctiesnnt streets, and seeing Mr. Lyle lying rt n I ha tl iue v. . f..T "PPoaeu asleep, calieA bla name. Shaking the body and receiving no re sponse, she hurried Into the Central Telegraph ofDce and told tbe operators that she believed Mr. Lyle was dead. This belief was but too true. Mr. Lyle was last seen quietly talking with two gentlemen In his offloe, on Saturday afternnnn at . n'nlnnU n . , v. . . iiealth. From tbo appearance of tbe ofnoe this morn. ng, it seems that some time during that afternoon he went to tbe sare, and, taking out els money, comraenoed to count it, and while thus engaged, fell down dead. The body was found lu the southeastern corner of the room, the bead resting on a spittoon and against tbe leg of a table, which had made a deep mark In the face, Ibe lei t hand olutohed a $1000 bond, while npon the table where he must have been at work .there lay four 11000 bonds, a o0 bond, and a paper containing some figuring. The doer of tbe safe, where he kept bis personal rapers wag open. The body bad been lying here since last aeext, and the face had com menced to bloat. This sudden death of Mr. Lyle has caused a deep feeling of sorrow, especially among the fraternity of firemen, among whom be was uni versally liked. From his early boyhood to the time of his death, being forty-nine years old, he has been connected with tbe Fire Department. From lta first organization, in 18ZJ,he has been a member of tbe Fairmount Steam Fire Com pany, No. 32. and for twenty-five years past was President of the Company. His strict attention to duty and bis many good qualities, secured V,"nele?l.loln 1" nlef 0 tne Fire Department in l8C2,;wlY.oa:?mee h?.hB" neld everslnoejand. had he li ved, would have served his third term ending October 1, 188. During his long oou. nectlou with this Department, he had so ruled as to give entire satisfaction to both oltir.eus and fire companies. He was ever kind to those associated with him, and greeted everybody in such a manner as to win their respeot. Hardly In all his career has he missed attending a fire and when any dlffloultles whatever occurred between companies, he was the first to ooncert measures of peace. To his snorts, largely, has tbe success of our Fire Department been due. During the war, when many of our soldiers were suiiering in ineir destitution, he was one of the first to volunteer his aid to their relief; and many a soldier, wno hud stared starvation In the face, will treasure with respeot and honor tbe memory of David M. Lyle. Mr. Lyle was unmarried, and lived at No. 817 Filbert street. He was a brother to General Peter Lyle. A meeting of the Assistant Engineers of tbe Fire Department waa held this morning. Tne following resolution was unanimously adopted: Jteinlved. That owing to tbe sudden decease of our worthy aud eillclent Chief Engineer, David M. Lyle, the companies comprising tne Department are re quested to send three delegates to a conveutlon to be held at tbe Hall or the Phainlx Hose Company, to morrow (Tuesday) evening, at 7 o'clock, for the our pose or making tbe necessary arrangements to aitend the funeral, and lake such otner action as they may deem necessary. Companies are requested to cad special meetings this evening (Monday) to ' elect delegates. The engineers of the Fire Department have called a meeting of firemen for to-morrow evening, at the Phoenix Hose House, to take action in reference to the sudden death of Chief Lyle.

Mathews, a promluent physi cian of Rochester, New York, who was seated in one of the rear oars, attempted to pass to the forward portion of the train, In order that he might not be left In Philadelphia, where the rear cars were to be detained. Having to pfess through several sleeping oars, the train was again in motion before he had reached a seat, and as he was about to enter one of the forward cars, bo lost his hold and fell to the ground, striking on the back of his head. The train was soon stopped, and Dr. Mathews was able to walk to it and take his seat, not thinking at the time that be had sustained any serious injury. In a few minutes be was undeceived, and he soon sank Into a lethargic state. He was brought to this city by Dr. J. W. Dake, of Albion, N. Y., his travelling companlou, and carefully at tended by several of our homwopatbla physi cians. At 5 o'clock: on Saturday afternoon he diea, without having spoken a word or make a voluntary motion after falling into the.slate of lethargy. The widow of the deceased arrived In the city yesterday morning, and tn the eve ning his remains were escorted to bis late home. An autopsy was made by Professor A.

It Is whispered around that a movement is on foot uy a new musical association to inaugurate la this city a series of nrst-elans sacred oouoeru tn take place on Sunday evenings. To every right .iiiuKiog mi n a tne iaea is a commenuanie one, and the consummation of the project would not ouly give rational entertainment to thousands ol our cltixens on Sabbath evenings, but would be fraught with beneficial results In a strictly moral point of view. The arguments In favor of properly conducted Sunday eveningconoerla re of a manifold character. In the (list place, the precedent 'has been established In other cities and found to work admirably. In Boston, a oily noted for the general intelligence and Flirlianlcal ideas of Its citizens, the experiment of Sunday evening concerts has been tried, aud after a slight factions opposition was overootne. tbey have proved eminently successful, ana are now 1 oked upon as a positive necessity, not by tbe gav, thoughtless, and irreverent, but by the sober, serious, moral element of lioston society. In New York and other cities the same results have followed. Again, all of our first-class churches would be comparatively deserted ex cept for the attraction of the well-trained aud talented choirs engaged Dy them, and even among tbe most orthodox members of onr ehurcliesof all denominations the materiel ot the choir Is considered as only second in impor tance to an eloquent and popular pastor. The "MukIo Committee" is an Institution in every church, and where the best singing Is to be heard tbetewlll be found tbe largest congregations. Taking a strictly moral view of the question, would not the ends of religion be as well served by hearing in Horticultural Hall. Concert Hall. or any other pnblio resort of the kind, the lu spired sacred compositions of Handel, Haydn, or Beethoven performed ocsting by first-clans artists, as silting in a churoa pew and listening to the hackneyed anthems o nald auartette choirt? A Hacred Concert, strictly made so, Is bb muon a religious exercise as achutcn ser vice, and far more entertaining. The establish ing f eucu Concerts would have a tendency to improve tbe tastes, elevate the ideas, and en hance tbe sentiments of morality and religion in tbe minds Of IhoUsaildH whn nnnranaiirl t hai Babbath evenings listlessly, moodily, aud lrre llgloubly.

On Saturday nlgnt, six stout brother Irishmen were in one of these saloons, and after drinking, discussed, with great gravity, the need of paying for their various "straights.'' Now the McUulres, possessed with the mighty and belligerent spirit of their ancestors, no sooner heard of the likelihood of their losing their dues, than thev Pitched into the crawiT James, with a aword of terrible appearance, slashed above him, right and left, now skinning unugmiu uuuKing iaoes iu rigntgooa earnest, While his faithful all V.

The Forthcoming I in peachment Re portThe Kvldence Taken by the Judi ciary Committee The Testimony of General Grant and Detective Baker. Washington. Nov. St. The excitement on the sub ject of Impeachment still continues. It is belKbteued to-day by a strengthening of the impression wblcb was prevalent yesterday tbat a majority of the Judlclury Committee would report In favor of Im peachment. There la no doubt that this will prove to be the case. Mr. Churchill, ol New York, bas un doubtedly Joined tbe lmpeacbers, making five against four. In conversation to-day a member snld to Judge I.awre' ce, of Ohio, who is one ol tbe Judiciary Unin mil tee and a strong Inipeacber. that be always lilted to support a majority report, and be boped be could do so to-morrow. Well." said Judge Lawrence. 'of course I can't violate the eecre-y imposed upon tbe Committee, but If you vote with tbe majority to-morrow you'll vote right, and the House will sustalu you." This is additional evidence tbat tbe majority report will be for impeachment. The lollowing Is a verbatim report ot General Grant's testimony before the Judiciary Committee, on wblcb there bas bteu so much speculation In tbe newspapers, and which has been looked for with so much Interest. General Grant waa examined Jul is, 1647, and testified as follows: General Grant's Testimony I have seen tbe President very frequently In refer ence to tbe conditlou of afl'alrs lu the Hebel (Status. W hen 1 was asked to be at the Cabinet meeting, it was because some question was up In wblcb, as Gen eral ol the Army, I was interested. I am not aware ot any interview with the l'realdent on amnesty, I bave occaulouallv recommended a Demon for amnuatv. I thought myself at that lime that there was no reasou wny Deoause a person uau risen to the rank of a General be should be ezoluded from amnesty any more than one wbo bad failed tq reach I bat rank. I spoke on that Dolnt. I did not see much reason for the i20,0Wiclanse. These are the only two points tbat I remember to have spoken of a tne time.

I never save auy opinion to tbe Presldeut that It would be belter at that time to Issue a procla mation ol general amnesty. Question Did you ever give yonr opinion to tbe President tbat his Proclamation interlered with the stipulations between yourself and General l.ee T Auwer No, sir, I Irequenxly bad to Intercede for General Lee and other paroleo ol'lloers, on the ground that their parole, so long as they obeyed the laws of the Untied Atates, protected them from arrest and trial. The Presldeut at tbat lime occupied exactly tbe same grounds, viz.: That they should be tried and punished. He wanted to know when the time would come that tbey should be puulsbed, I told him not so long as tbey obeyed tbe lawsand complied with tbe stipulation. Tbat was the ground I took. Q.
