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.

A Card to Sjcnsibblb Pjcoplb. Rational reader,
If the aspect of the weather was uncertain, you would
not be foellsh enough to venture out without an over
coat or anhimbrella. Have theSorecaet, then.to protect
yourself at this dangerous season with something
more Important than either these articles. Strengthen
your stomach and nervous system; regulate your
liver and your bowels; tone all yonr organs, and
Cheer your animal spirits with that agreeable cordial'
lonle, and alterative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Bo shall you surely escape the diseases which fasten
Bpon the feeble and debilitated. "Buffer and be
strong," says the proverb; but "Be strong that you
way not suffer," Is the wiser maxim, and of all
strengthening preparations this Is the safest, the
surest, the most genial. As remedy, as well as an
antidote, for dyspepsia, fever and ague, and liver dls-
eases, there Is no combination of vegetable specifics
at present known which even approaches It In effi
cacy. Anticipate the enemy. The elements of Innumer
able diseases are afloat In this raw, damp, mephltlo
winter air. Will you defend yourself against them or
not, good reader T That Is the question. bottle or
two of the great defensive medicine ot the age, Hos
tetter's Bitters, will so strengthen and brace up your
bodily powers as to enable them to "laugh a siege to
scorn." The morbid matter whloh was exhaled In
perspiration through your pores In summer finds no
such free egress now. A powerful counteracting
Kent Is therefore needed, and you have It in Hos
tetter's Bitters. They neutralize the materia morbl
from whloh disease originates, and regulate all tbe
secretive organs. Nothing emn be more harmless or
more healthful nothing so potent to prevent or cure
biliousness, dyspepsia, fever and ague, ounstlpatloa,
and general debility, as this wonderful corrective.
Wxktino or Congress. A preparatory meeting
to consider various Important measures will be held

will Include tbe exact size around the chest and waist
and letagth of sleeve for coats, and around the waist

"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

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.

about to sbut the Bare door when I saw him; I
put my basket, umbrella, and shawl down, and
went uround again and oalled him four or five times;
be didn't move; I watehed his hand, that had a Govern
ment boud In It, to see if the paper moved; I went

be didn't tell us on Saturday night: when I found him
he was kind of setting with bis head down; the
leg of the table was between bla legs; we
had to move the table before we could
move him; I don't think he could have fallen off tbe

four K0 bonds and a fifty dollar boud laying

Of the room, near tbe byaraut; got hold or him and
laid him on the lounge and straightened him
out; I hadn't seen him for two or three days; I think
he was standing at the safe or goiug towards it, and
alnd or turned around and tell down; eaw tbe cup
which stands on the washstand, on tbe floor: I Judge
be knocked It off when he fell: have heard tbe Chief
say he felt bad, and that he abused himself going to
fires, getting wet, and not taking proper care of him
self; for tbe way be talked I bad an Idea that he
thought he would drop off suddenly.
Isaiah Pascoe testified that he saw deceased last

Dr. Sbaplelgb sworn Made a pott mortem examina
tion on the body or Chief Lyle; I found that he came
to his deatb in consenueuoe of disease of the heart:
the muscles of the heart, and the Internal membrane
ot the heart were Inflamed; he must have died sud
denly: I should say he had been dead at least twenty
four hours, perhaps lonrer; the heart was soft, aud
tbe muscles thin aud flabby: tbe cavity of the heart
was black, tbe other side was also of a deep color;
there was some Indications of disease of the liver;
there was some water on the brain.
The Jury rendered a verdict of death from
heart disease. '
Fatal Accidekt to a Nbvt York Physician.
On Friday evening, when the through train
from Washington to New York stopped at
Chester, Dr. M. M. 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. K.
1 bom as, of tbe Hahnemann Medloal College,
revealing no fraoture of the skull, but showing
an e Huston of blood beneath the scalp bohind
the left ear. and a large effused mass of blood on
the brain above the region of the right temple,
while the cavity of the skull aud spine waa full
of bloody fluid.
Mis. Mathews requests us to tender her heart
felt thanks toDrs. Herlug, Kane, and Morgan,
who attended her husband, and to the proprie
tor of the Ulrard House for his oourteous kind
ness. Dr. Mathews was an old and influential
pbytilclan, and was highly ebteouibd by all who
knew him.
Sacked Cokcbbts os Sunday Evgmnag. 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

Irishmen were in one of these saloons, and
after drinking, discussed, with great gravity,
the need of paying for their various "straights.''

A Littlk (Jibl Seriously Burned. On
Satin day afternoon a number of bovs cathered
a lot of chips and sticks together and started a
bonfire at tbe corner of Germantown road and
Tioga street. This soon attracted about it a
number of little girls, who took as much glee
in tbe flames and smoke as the bovs. Bnt one
of tbo latter, named Charles Martin, said that
ibey annoyed him. He told them to leave,
but they refusing, he got a long Btlok,pob:ed

the latter returned, and set upon Mac, and he
retaliated so wickedly, but yet so outrageously,
as to Justify his arrest upon a charge of assault
and battery with Intent to kill. Alderman Ilex
committed him In default of 82000 ball.
Two Professions. Frank Clifford. In com
pany with a brother huckster, went into Blair's
grocery store, at Seventeenth and Dawson

THE IMPEACHMENT TESTIMONY.
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 auerwarus, However, toiu mm that I
thought he was much nearer right on tbe Izu.ooo
clause than I was, 1 was preseut when the proclama
tion was read In Cabinet, but my views were not
asked. 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.

proclamation.

purported to be the President's signature; this was In
Colonel Browning's priva-e room, In the presence of
two other pe sons; tasked hi in If that waa the Presi

to It; Baker it en went away, and returned the
letter to the parly wbo had given it to him:
the letter was dated at Nashville, and was
addressed to Jonnnnii n.tri. ,
parently In reply to one received from Davis or .
from some one in autborlty. from the fact tbat lk
starts out with an acknowledgment of anotuer letter.
It goes on to make suggestions as to some delayed

In another place be refers to Paison Browolow li
