Thr Tidk Ririno Just before going to press we
looked In upon Mr. Wanamaker and his new esta
blishment, to see how the third day of the "new era"
was going. A buy house and a full one we found it,
nd the tide of eustomers and patrons seems to be
etting In stronger and stronger. A good word Is
encouraging and acceptable, but a good purchase la
a still better pledge of well-wishing to the new enter
prise, and these pledges were being given abundantly
enough. The class of customers Is particularly no
ticeable, for both the gentlemen and ladies who
thronged the place were from the best ranks of so
ciety, and such as were well able to appreciate the
llnesi Imported and domestic goods that Wanamaker
i now selling, made up or to order In the custom
department. They speak of the boys' department ai
a "specialty," and the novelties of beautiful little
garments seem to justify the use of that term ; but to
we such a standard of Judging, we would say that
every department, and the whole concern, for that
matter, is a "specialty."
Larckny of a Watch. A son of Mrs. Stoddart,
residing on North street, above Eighteenth, owns a
very valuable dog. Yesterday the canine was taken
ick, and the little fellow ran to a drug store to pur
chase medicine. There he met two men, who otTered
to cure the dog for the sum of one dollar. The oirer
was accepted and the men proceeded to the house,
where they requested a private room. This was
granted, and when the left they residence Master
fctoddart missed his watch. A search was made for
the thieves, and one, George Wellington, was taken
Into custody. He had a boaring before Alderman

'I he following is the text of Uie bill which was passed by
both houses yesterday and has gone to the Governor, and
which virtually abolishes the death penalty :
That it shall be Uwful for the Governor, in any case
where a sentence of death has been or shall be pronounced
against auy person by any Court of Oyerand Terminer of this
Commonwealth, to reduce such sentence to an imprison
ment for life, or for any term of years, in the penitentiary
ot the proper district.
Mr. liunn moved to consider the Senate bill exempting
firemen from jury duty, but the House refused to set aside
the regular order of business.
Mr. htrang, of Tioga, obtained permission to make a per
sonal statement. A n editorial in The Evkkino Tklk
ii ha' ii had gone so fur as to attack him for objecting to the
consideration of a bill which provided fountains for the use
of animals in Philadelphia. The writer of the article had
recklessly plunged into a personal assault, without reason
or justification. The objection of Mr. Strang bad been
made because it was necessary to confine the business of
the House at that particular yme to its regular channol, in
order to reach the Registry law before adjournment. The
fountain was meritorious, but it would have its proper time
for consideration. It appears by the article
alluded to that members were liable to be
assanlted by ignorant or incompetent journalist
whenever thoy attempted to keep the House within, the
rrguUr and systematic scope of its duties. This course
which had been pursued by Tuk TeixiUAtH had made its
views a matter of indifference to every member, aa they
would be to every citizen ; and the present explanation hud
been ottered, nut out of any regard for that journal, but
that Mr. Strang might not be placed in a false position
with the gentleman (itogors) who urged the fountain bill.
It was by offering the particular objection complained of
that the very important Registry law bail secured atten
tion, and if bad not been taken up that night it wuuld
have fulled this session. The Republican TKUttiRAfH at
tacked a Republican member for urging a party measure.
Mr. Rogers, who had charge of the Fountain bill, ex
pressed his surprise at the newsiaper article. He and
every other member had understood the motives of Mr.
Strang in objecting to the bill, and he has doeined it the
duty of the paper in question, if it waa managod by a fair
minded man, to make a public correction of ita unjust ar
ticle. The subject then dropped. In expUnation of the
death commutation published above, it may
ne sal a mat it is not intenuea to reacn
the ease of Twitohell, but of Eaton, now under sentence
ot death, while the friends of Twiteiiell are active at this
point. Thero is every reason to believe tliat the mind of
Governor Geary is fixed and unchangeable in favor of the
execution.

HouietlilnK lnlereHlinK Relative to the Family.
A correspondent of the Washington Chronicle fur
nishes that paper with tho following:
Miss , of this city, knew both Twltchcll and
his wife, and from her 1 learned the following tacts
abont them : The murdered woman, Mrs. Hill, ror
merly kept a house of assignation or prostitution in
thiB city. She represented to her daughter that she
was her aunt: and it is only within a few years that
Mrs. Twltchell accidentally ascertained rrom some
old letters that ber putative aunt was really her
mother, and that her father was a former member or
Congress rrom Ohio.
This discovery caused a quarrel with her mother,
which was rrequently renewed up to the time or the
latter'B death. Mrs. Twitched was a sort or house
keeper ror Twltchell'B rather, and aspired to marriage
with him ; but he rerused, on the ground that she was
not kind to the children. .Thereupon she, though
many years his senior, transferred her efforts to her
present husband, aud secured him. A Bister of his,
a girl perfectly healthy and well, incurred her
displeasure by her opposition to the match (I think it
was), and she died very suddenly, nnder clrcum
tances indicating poison. Though nothing waa
done about it. a good many of the neighbors sus
pected Mrs. Twitched at the time; and when Mrs.
11111 was murdered, they remembered the death of
Uie young Mhuf Twltchell.

manly and generous to shield his wife and hang for
it himself. Hut some tlsy she will lie found to liavo

Mrs. Twltchell's conduct at the time of their arrent

LEGAL UTTELLIQEWCa. -
C'onrt of Onnrtcr MrsHlonN Judre Rrewster.
The trial of prison cases was resnmed this morning.
James Purr, a rough-looking lad, was convicteiiof the
charge of receiving stolen goous. It was teetitieJ that a
tiunk tilled with clothing, belonging to Commodore Sel
f ridge's daughter, waa entrusted to a party of boys, of
whom the prisoner was ono, to be taken to the Pennsyl
vania Kailrond depot; and the boys took tho trunk beluud
the walls of Moyainensing Prison, bmke it open, and di
vided the contents. (Subsequently the prisoner gave one of
the stolen dresses to an abandoned girl, and induced her to
pawn it for him, as was t est i tied by Uie girl hersolf, who is
now in prison for this offense.
Kdward Davis was put upon trial, charged with the lar.
ceny of 142 bushels of Hour. He was employed in a grain
house in Broad street, and it was alleg.id that, through an
aperture in the vail, between the storehouse of his em
ployers and an adjoining store, he stole the abovo-named
quantity of flour Iroiu his neighbors and sold it to Colonel
Thomas. ,
Sut this was not sustained by the evidence. On the
other hand, tho jury believed the prisoner's story, that the
only grain no sold to Colonel Thomas consisted of the
sweepings of his employer's cellar. The jury without hesi
tation tendered a verdict of not guilty.

Ho explained the object of this amendment. Pears had
bern expressed, he said, that under the House proposition
the provision for the payment of retired judge, might at
auy time be repealed by Congress, and thus judges who
had retired relying on this promise would be deooived. Ha
did not belmve there was auy danger that Congress wnnld
ever repeal the provision, but the Committee on the Judi
ciary bad thought it wise to obviate the ditbcnlty a. far aa
possible by this amendment.

Mr. Beck suggested that it had not been sufficiently dis
cussed, and that if he could get an hour he would demon-.

Mr. Bingham took a similar view. The biU was a very
important one, aud should be discussed. In his opinion it
ought not to be passed.
Air. Kldridge wanted to know whether a State of tha

"Frn. Dlavolo" at the Academy of MuhIc.
Last evening the Academy of Music was again '
packed from top to bottom, and Anber'a always
popular romantic opera of Fra Dlavolo was rendered,
with Miss Kellogg as "Zerlina" and Blgnor Ronconl
as "Lord Aliens h." In all lta appointments, tbe opera
was pat upon the stage la unexceptionable style, and
kas seldom, If ever, been sung with more skill and
pint In this city. Miss KTellogg possesses that arch- .
ess which Is Indispensable to the acting of such a
roll as "Zerlina," and to which she can give fall play
without a taint of affectation. Throughout tha
evening her action was sparkling and unstudied, and
the music was executed by her with a grace and
(kill that were equally charming. Blgnor Ronconl
was, of course, inimitably droll as the travelling
Englishman, and kept the house In a roar of laughter.
The other parta were entrusted to capable and efn
elent hands, and the chorus especially was strong and
effective. ".
Fro, Diavolo was first sang In this city over thirty
years ago, by Miss Hughes and Mr. Sinclair. Tha
libretto was written In French originally, and was
not adapted for the Italian stage until years after It
had attained an enduring reputation. It was finally
reconstructed by Auber for the especial benefit ef
