Already Mr. Kvans has had applications for rooms in
his new house for next season sultlclent to exhaust
the entire supply, ami from his deserved popularity
we have no doubt he will be emlneiiMv miceeHsfiil in
his enterprise. He enjoys the reputation of keeping
a first-class house, and has the confidence of every
one who has shared his hospitality. This season his
house at llrooklleld has been constantly tilled by
some of our prominent citizens, anions whom we

Sansom Perot, Mr. Thomas Homer, Mr. Harry Atkin
son, and their families, acd others.
TnK Tkots at Point Buekzr This week will be
one of continued excitement to the sporting fra
ternity. This afternoon there will be a Hue trot be
tween three horses whoBe record warranted their
owners in enterlnir them for the 2-30 nurse ottered
by the Point Breeze Park Association. This meeting
commences to-morrow, and during Its progress
there will le some of the best exhibitions of speed
ever made on any track. The first trot to-morrow
will be for horses who have never beaten 8 minutes
prior to their entry for this purse, and in which such
horses us Henry, who has made 2-20X, and Hop, who
has made 2-84, will appear. The second Is for the
2-25 purse, for which imnvera Boy, who has scored
2-28, and Hotspur, who has made 2-24, In connection
wun uray jnacK. ana License, win contend, un Wed
nesday the tlrst contest will be for the 2-H5 purse, and
the second for the 2-30. ou Thursday the meeting
will conclude with trots for the 2-35 purse, and the
purse lree for all horses. For this latter purse the
three queens of the turf, Lady Thoru, Goldsmith
Maid, and American win nave been entered. From
the well-known reputation of this trio this trot will
be a lining wind-up of the meeting. Lady Thorn is
the property of A. Welsh, Esq., of Chesnut Hill, who
also has in possession the celebrated mare Flora
Temple. She is one of the very few animals who
has beaten Dexter, sne lias also dereareil Mountain
Boy, Goldsmith Maid, and American Girl. She, In
New York, a few weeks since, in a contest with the
last named, made the fastest aggregated three
straight heat time ever scored in this country.
Goldsmith Maid Is also a Philadelphia animal. A
few weeks since she beat American Girl on the Suf
folk Course. She, in a trot over the Fashion Course
with Palmer, made a half mile In -isy,. She also
defeated Lucy, on the Mystic Course, Boston.
American Girl has in her short life as a trotter
beaten Goldsmith Maid and Lady Thorn. She has
crossed the score in 2-l'J, a close approach to Dex
tcr's fastest. It was stated that prior to her defeat
by Goldsmith Maid, In this city, Robert Bonner,
Ksq., otrered 1 25.000 for her.
Considerable interest is felt in this last trot, for
while American Girl has defeated both Goldsmith
Maid and Lady Thorn, anil Lady Thorn has beaten
both Goldsmith Maid and American Girl, and the
Maid has defeated the (iirl. yet the Maid has never
won a race in which Lady Thorn has appeared.
The association has made every accommodation
for the public, who will have every opportunity of
witnessing each day's exhibitions.

ASSASSINATION.
Revenue Officer James J. Brooks Shot
by Two Men in a Store on Front

Not Expected to Live.

- ui.icu uiu iiiuur mure oi jwr. neenaii, un i
street, below Arch, and wa holding a con
versation with the son of Mr. Keenan, when
two rx.en men came Into tho place and
commenced talking with the lad. They asked If
Mr. Keenan was in. and on beins told that he was
not, they turned to leave. During the Interview Mr.
Brooks was standlnir with his rlulit side toward them.
One of the scoundrels drew a revolver, and alining It
at Mr. Brooks, pulled the trigger, the ball passing in
under Mr. Brooks' right shoulder blade and lodging
somewhere in his chest. The assassi
nators Immediately ran out of tho store
and jumped Into a cab, the driver of which
plied the whip and the horses startod on a
lull Jump. I p liront stfeet they went to Callowhlll,
and along Callowhill to St. John, and up that street.
On Callowhlll street Detectives Franklin and Tryon
were standing, and noticing the immoderate speed
of the animals, called to the driver to pull up. They
did not at that time know of the occurrence. Tho
driver slackened a little, and turned into St. John
street. Noticing an immense crowd coming out of
Frout street, Detective Tryon immediately turned
and followed after the cab, while Franklin ran down
Callowhlll street to Front, and down that thorough
fare to the store of Mr. Keenan, where he found Mr.
Brooks lying In a critical condition. Obtaining as
sistance, he conveyed the wounded man to his resi
dence, on Fourth street, above Spruce, where physi
cians were called in. Fears are entertained that ho
will die, as hemorrhages have already set in.
Mr. Brooks did not know either of the men who
assassinated him, but there Is scarcely any doubt
that they are In some way or otnex connected with
the illicit whisky distillers, to whom Mr. Brooks has
cauved considerable trouble during the past several
years.
No news has np to this time been henrd from De
tective Tyron, but there Is scarcely a possibility of
their escaping, as the cab was being driven at a
frightful speed up St. John street, causing the
greatest commotion among the residents living on
that street.
A Monster NrmNO Jollification. The Com
missioners of Falrmount Park are certainly doing
their best to win tho good graces of the children.
During the summer they gave them pleasant green
walks, big playgrounds, and scores of pretty flower
beds, scattered here anil there through the park, and
the little folks showed how they enjoyed these
facilities by the many little excursion parties camped
out on the lawns by the side of neaped-up baskets.
But the Commissioners, not content with this work,
have showed a still keener appreciation of childish
wants. At their meeting on Saturday last, they voted
to give the public school children an opportunity to
have an immense nutting party, when the trees are
laden with nuts, just before November comes.
Falrmount Park contains great numbers of chesnut,
walnut, hickory, and other nut trees, big with age,
and, In the fall season, loaded with these wholesome
nuggets. The Chief Engineer has been Instructed to
make the proper arrangements with the Board of
School Control, that the children may have their full
of an old-fashioned, Jolly nutting time, that every
one may have a fair chance, and all liberty may be
allowed that does not degenerate Into unrestrained
license. The City Surveyor has been instructed to
make a survey of the park, with special reference to
tills nutting jnlllilcatlon, mapping out in detail the
position ol every tree that will bo nntworthy at that
time. May the children have a pleasant day of It
when It conies just half-way on to Christmas, and
may they realize as delightful times as they will be
sure to promise themselves.
A Noble Act. At the lire at Karle's gallery on
Tuesday night last, A. H. Hopple, a member of the
Diligent Hose Co., was killed while in the perform
ance of his duties. The Messrs. Earle on Saturday
sent to the widow of Mr. Hopple, through Fire Mar
shal Blackburn, the following letter, enclosing a
check rorstoo:
No. H19 Chesnut Street, Phtla., Sept. 4, 18H9.
Mr. A. W. Blackburn Dour Kir: We beg to enuloite to
you our cbeck tor live hundred dollars, which sum we
would tbunkyou to hand to the widow ot Mr. A. H. Hop
ple, the brave tireman wlio lost hia life at the tire at our
store on the evoninn of Tuesday last. This shrill recoeai
ton of the loss that Mrs. Hopple has met wit is only i"
part fultilineiit of the debt we tool we ewe to the Kire De
partment of the city, and we very much reKrotthat the
terribly disorganized condition of our business at present
does not all' w us to make it much lurger.
May we further nsk you, on yt ur vist to Mrs. Hopple, to
carrj to her our sincere uud heartfelt condolence with her
in her hour nt trial, and our oonviction that bur Husband
lost his life in the midst of a noble career of manly duty.
We remain, dear sir, yours, very respectfully,
JAMKS S. EARLii A SONS.
Mr. Blackburn accordingly handed the sum to Mrs.
Hopple, who was profoundly astonished at this munl
lleent act, and was lavish in her expressions of
gratitude to the giver. Her husband, in addition to
his many virtues, served throughout the late war in
the Union army.
TnE Water Famine Yesterday the water In the
Schuylkill river, In the forebay, and In the reservoirs
up the height, succeeded In getting down to a point
of lowness It had never before reached. Hundreds
of our citizens wended their way to Falrmount. and
witnessed for themselves that all that has been said
unon this matter was true, and that the alarms started
were not Idle. There was hardly water enough
around the works to wash a shirt. It was barely a
foot deep In the six distributing basins, and appa
rently only enough in tne river to turn one of the
wheels, the city appropriated some 125,000 to lie
used in case of emergency, but nothing has yet been
done to guard against the fearful loss that may be
occasioned by the stoppage of the supply of water.
It is barely possible that the authorities realize the
situation and the danger, but many are ol the
opinion that they do not. By a visit to the Spring
Garden works it was learned that several of the
pumping engines are In a very bad condition from
being overworked, the usual repairs not being at
tended to, aud, In fact, one of the most powerful en
gines is liuble to give out any day. The new Cornish
engine was put on trial a few days since, when it
wasfonnd that considerable alterations and loss of
time will occur before It can be relied upon.
The emergency is upon us. What will be done?

MUSICAL ANI I It ASIATIC.
The City Amusements.
At the Academy of Music the RlclilnRs
English opera troupe will inaugurate the season
this evening by appearing in Gounod's opora of
Faust. This work, will be placed upon the stngo
with new scenery, and it will present to the
public several of the new singers of tho troupe.
The cast will Include .Mrs. Bernard as ".uar
gueritc," Mrs. Annie Kemp Bowler as "Siebel,"
Sir. Henry Hnigh as "Faust," and Mr. Henry
Dravton as "MenhistODbeles.
AS hatever the merits of the new combination
mav be. we are confident that no effort has bceu
spared on the part of Mrs. Bernard to make it
as strong as possible. It is to her energy, talents,
and untirinir industry mat mo success oi Eng
lish opera, and the present high position that
it occupies, are almost entirely duo. To place
this style of entertainment upon a permanent
foundation, Mrs. Bernard has been obliged to
contend with obstacles that to most persons
would seem insuperable, not the least of which
was a prejudice on tho part of a very large num
ber ot opera-goers, wno aiiectca w oeiicve mm
opera was worthless unless it was sung in tho
Italian laniruage. 1 his was a piece oi nonsensi
cal dilettantism which had no substantial foun
dation iu fact; but as persons who care only for
tho music soon found out, It tho singing
is only good it docs not make any
difference what language Is used, lherc are
Bomo people however, who affect to be unable
to cat a beefsteak unless it has a French name
tacked on it, and this same class sneer at
English opera as if it must necessarily bo an iu-
lerior article, it is no sliirut triumpu to succeed
in spite ef such a feeling ns this in the class of
persons wno are supposed to oe tne most noerai
patrons of mo opera, but Jirs. nernara aia sua
ceed; and the performances given in this city
hitherto by the troupe under her command will
average fully as. hitih, if not higher, than the
ordinary run of Italian and German operas that
we nave been treated to since tne iticmngs
troupe took the field.
Oi counse. after the Encllsh opera has onco
won its way to favor, it is comparatively easy
for others to come in and share the results: but
no rivalry, however successful, can deprive Mrs.
Bernard of the credit which is justly due her in
this matter. To make Entrusn opera a per
manent institution has been the dream of her
life, and we hope that her success iu the future
will be even greater than in the past. With an
opposition troupe to compete with her she will
be inspired to even greater efforts than formerly,
and the prospects now are that, for the present
season at least, Jingiisn opera win taice me pre
redenee ol botn me Italian ana uerman.

Arrests of Newly Arrived Cerinan Paupers and
Convicts.
Baltimore, Sept. C Some time since Gover
nor Bowie received from the State Department
at Washington a communication which had
been forwarded there by the Commissioner of
Emigration at New York, to the effect that
seven convicts and paupers had sailed from
Bremen for the United States, their passages
having been paid by the Government.
The original information was said to have
come from the United States Consul at Bremen,
with the names and descriptions of the men and
the vessel on which they embarked, the North
German barque Atalanta, bound for this port.
The Atalanta arrived yesterday, aud was boarded
by Deputy Marshal Gray. On examining the
passage list six of tho seven names were found
thereon, and they were placed under arrest.
Four of them are brothers named Holf man, all
married, with children.
They positively denied the allegations that
either of them had ever been a pauper or a con
vict, averring that they are farmers, and left
Germany for tho purpose of settling in the West.
All of them had a lucre amount of personal
effects, and the man particularly designated in
the Bremen communication as a pauper dis
played a belt well filled with gold carried about
his person. . Each had a regular set of papers
made out and signed by the German authorities.
The case will be disposed of to-day.
