trict was contained this morning. At the session
vcstorday afleruoon, Iwttective Urk8 and Tobias
l&rto cave In their testimony, and underwent a
rigid cross-esamlnaUon. The tostjnony to-aay was
aHoifman worn.-I am ainernber of the bar
nt Heading, and have been for t yean In Reading;
wastheienlor counsel forOMoiicl Alexander oa
tits trial : remember Mr. Urooks was eiamlned as
a witness : I remember substantially his testimony;
1 tookoloicnotkjeof It and no notes; Mr. Brook; ,
did not then advert to thevt of the existence of
a key-hole In the door sermTating the yirlor from the
private office of Mr. Yobor; he did net on that occa
sion say anything about a box In the ellar nor raak e
anv allusion to it; Mr. Xrookn stated ho had aocem
named Mr. Keller from .'r. Tutton bonne after nine
clock at rrghton tlic"24th of Jure, and remained
over nigh', with Keller t.nd the next day; he exam
ined Uie room which tad the pipe hole in, acecirding
to a ore-arrangement which was mado at 1 t tons
house ;that he took breakfast .Keller 1 i and ex
pectod Moret that warning; after breakfast, e went
!,ut into the oiiiee In the rear of the lhiuor
atorc; Mr. Keller was at the front door in
lie street, and from where he (HrouVs)
was he had clear view of thr; store; at half-past 8
i viock a person-came up to Keller, but he was too
tar oil to hear w;mt words passed; then Mr. Keller
turned around and the parson followed him; he
(brooks) slipped into the rrlor quickly ami locked
himself in, awarding to a-nrc-urrangeincut; that im
mediately after being in the parlor he heard Mr.
licllr say "Wood morufm?, Mr. Moret," and the per-
son replied "Good morning"; a few words ttioa
passed winch he conld riot distinguish; Mr. Keller
,rame into ho back oi the houau, by way of the
yard, and he (Mr, Brooks) slipped into the
' ellar; tie then sat on a chair, and pulling out his
memorandum book wok down notes of the conver
sation; from the position which he occupied his left
ear was upon or in tfco pipe-hole; he described It on
thnntand; he then said nothing about a box beinj
under his chatr; on cross-examination he showed us
how he took notes, and that on the next day ke
wrote ont the conversation from the memorandum;
or did he say one word with reference to three
(arsons which he had arranged for; he also stated
that he recognized Mr. Moret's voice from Bearing
im say "good morning."
Cross-examined I am tixty-fonr years of age; the
trial or Colonel Alexander ended on the 4th of De
cember, 1808; It commenced on November 30; Mr.
Bull cross-examined Mr. Brooks very fully; I had
not visited the house of Keller at that time; I subse
quently had it examined; I wont Into the alley-way
and found the windows of the cellar to be very
small, with a high blank wall and a three-feet alley
way opposite them ; L could not sit down and write
out literally all the testimony given in that trial;
Mr. ' Brooks had then, Irom information given
nii, threatened that Colonel Alexander
should go to the 1'enlteutiary, ami should
not escape; I was awaro of a combination against
Colonel Alexander, and I was very particular with
reference to Mr. B roots' testimony; a suit had been
Instituted against Messrs. Rollins, Tutton, Luther,
and others, for a conspiracy to remove Colonel
Alexander from the asscssoiship: I now undertake
to answer that I can give literally the important
facts of Mr. Brooks' testimony.
John P. O'Neill, Ksi., sworn 1 am a member of
the bar; I prosecuted the case against Colouel Alex
ander; there Is a portion of Mr. Brooks' testimony
which I remember substantially; he was called to
re but the testimony' of Moret, who had been aeked
"If he had not a certain conversation with Keller in
Keller's house;" he denied it, and said he had not ;
Mr. Brooks was called to rebut; a discussion arose as
to the admission of Brooks' testimony; it was admit
ted ; I put to him two questions, "You have hear
Moret testify here to-day?" "Yes, sir." "Is that the
same voice you heard in Reading?" "Yes, sir."
The testimony was then admitted ; he did not say
Anything about seeing Moret; he testified that by
arrangement with Mr. Keller he was at his house;
lie was in a room,- when two men came in; he went
Into the cellar and there heard all that passed ; he
lid not pretend to recognize Moret in any way
ther than by his voice; he did not describe his
whiskers; 1 was subpoenaed to appear here this
morning.
William M. Ttnll awom -T waa one of the oounsnl for
Colonel Alexander; I have a pretty pood recollection of
brooks' testimony; I remember bis reference to the
ii torview at Keller's; I don't think be spoke of seeing
Moret, or of describing bim; there was nothing said by
h in with reference to lue identification of Moret in any
o ber way than by the voice ; my reeollcction is very dis
t net, as I considered bis testimony the only import ant
i art of the case, and I didn't believe that either Mr.
Jlarto or Keller would be belioved ; there was not a word
aid with regard to the key hole in thedoor.
Cross-ciainined I did take noUa, but not full; I have
them, but they are indefinite.
John 1. Morris sworn 1 live in Reading; I am a oar
Iientur; I know the nouneof Mr. Yoder'a where Keller
ived; it is on Kast Penn street, between Hixth and
Koveuth streets: 1 went there after the trial of Colonel
Alexander; I examined the cellar; I was piesnnt at tuo
trial of Alexander ; 1 heard IlrooW testimony in part; I
heard that relative to tuo cellar; be did not mention any.
ttucg about a box ; I beard bis description of the pipe-bole
hi.d bow be placed himself to listen ; I made a rough
ketch of the cellar ; when lgnttothe bottom of the stairs
it was so dark I bad to grope my way down ; it was a clear
day bet wecu 1 and 2 o'clock ; tbo nun set facing the cellar
wuitlows; after I bad Bufueient light I mean after my
eyes bad become accustomed to the place I took out my
titpelino; several .there wero with uie John Lyons, Dr.
Tardley Ucowu, AUlermun Minnie, and others; the
pipeJiule wan at the eastern side of the cellar;
we tben commenced inouhtiring the cellur; the height was
live feet five inohes from I be joist to the dirt bot torn ; the
joint was 9 iiiobos and a half, making the total height tl
leet Sy incben; the distance botween joists was l'jtj
Hicheo; Hound the pipo-hol situated between tbo two
joisttiabout 4 indies below tbe flooring, eat ending about
it inch below the bottom of the joint; tlie window were
on tbe opposite side of the cellar; they wore cast-iron
bars, ui'out 18 inches loin; and 12 inches nigh: and wore 3
or 4 inches below the surt.ioe of the pavement; ou tbe out
side, opposite theso windows, was a larae brick wall, ex
tundniK considerable distance beyond the windows; tba
pace between tbe wall and the windows was about 5 or li
f eot ; tlia- wail was three stones high : when we made our
nie&Hureuimt we had to go to tbe grated window to see what
that nieumement waa: otherwise we could not have told
wbatHwAs; 1 do not think it waa possible for Mr Hrooka
to navaplaced himself in the position which be described ;
sitting on a.'lmir on thetloor, bis ear would bo about 14
inches from tbe pipe-bole ; 1 uuvlo a sulneqnent examina
tion of bis cellar ; 1 weut to the cellar first, at tbe augges
lion of M r. Ilotman : my second visit was several days
kiterwaids: Mr. John 8. Kiofcards suggested I bad better
look at it ; didn't J now that be is eouel for Mr. Tutton;
when 1 went these the second time, I found a store box,
18 inches high (.underneath the pipe-Uole: a chair was on
it; there wasiiothLig of that kind there when I was there
first ; 1 neither sw nor beard of one being in that cellar
tben ;1 went tbe aevxmd time for thep.urpos of locating
tue pipe kclo, tbat if, to m-o whether I bad located it
correctly in my draft; f found 1 was correct; tbe space
taa too low for me to sit on I be chair ; I U ied to get ou t be
tbair; 1 might hv.) pressed myuelf inUi a position; if I
W is stttuig on the chair, with my ear to tjio.pipe bole, f
c mid not have taken ax-tes; I would then have my head
Detwee i tbij lists and against the lloor; if I could have
ffnt a tioaition 1 could nut bnvo seen to writa, as tiio win
clows were fourteen feet awuy; J would sup-xise that it
would have been lighter at tbetiu.o of day tbat 1 was
there, at 9 o'clock in t he morning.
Cross-examinud -My lirst vinit to the oellar was about

Ou re-eiaminatiou tbe nliness atated that tbe parla

WANAYUI?K.
A Oaa ExploaUa.
tin Main street, Manayonk, there is, or rather was,
a confectionery store, of which a Mrs. Whlttakor was
the proprietress. Now, the house In which the store
was located diners from the majority of dwellings in
this wise; It liaa no cellar, but only a snb-ccllar. in
one corner of this hole was fixed a gas meter, whleh,
from what we are abont to mention, must have been
supplied with a different quality of gaa from that
now used in this city.
Early thin morning the strong odor gave notice
that thre was a leak somewhere, and a man was
sent lirto the sub-cellar to examine. Of course he
needed a light, and of course he at once strnck a
matoti prt.Hto, up went the floor. Mr. Man, candies,
cakn, shelves, etc. ; anil what only a few moments
before was a neatly arranged store was turned into
a stat of confusion. Mr. Man went as high as the
celling of the place, but being somewhat portly,
was unable to get through. On the downward track
lie struck a pan of what the Jnvenlles coil "Yaller
Jack," and it stuck to him, thereby preventing his
sustainiiik any serious Injuries.
The noise created by tuenllair aroused the whole
community, and people came pouring in from all
sections; tbe bridges leading from tho other side of
the Hchnykill were all filled with mud, and the canal
boatmen were busily employed In washing their
clothes. jNo little excitement was created by the
report rbat several boys and girls had been blown to
pieces ;lmt a careful Investigation by our reporter
brongbt to light the fact that they were made of
pane.
Tbe Insurance Patrol of TCoxbormtgli and the
Fire Department of Wtssnhlckon were soon on the
gronnd, and preparations were at once math; to turn
the noble Schuylkill upon the tinmen, but tin Wis
(Mi.iickon was found all sufllcicnt. Smith, of Select
Council, dltl most excellent service In directing the
operations of the Department of the Wlssaliickon,
and our reporter was Informed that it was
the Intention of the resident of Manayunk to
present htm with the first second-hand boat-horn
that may be found In the mud after a freshet, as a
token of their esteem for him aa a fireman. From a
reliable policeman we ascertained that two hundred
dollars would coyer the loss ny the explosion.
What Wb Would Do if W Wkrr Mavok We
would not have robberies and burglaries daily re
ported, with no arrests.
We would put an end to policemen on night
duty gathering in knots on street corners.
We would not have citizens, whilst waiting for a
car, ordered about at the whim of every member of
the force.
We would, whilst enforcing temperance princi
ples, put an embargo on side-entry manteiivres. It
Is not quite the thing to sec a policeman wiping his
month when emerging from said entries.
We would see that Ninth street, from Race to
Market, lie visited at least occasionally by members
of the force.
We would not prohibit patrolmen from "taking
something" now and then, and yet ullow our higher
appointees to visit, drinkenes at their pleasnrc. It
looks like partiality, you know !
We would station olllcers at Eleventh and Arch
Streets, nightly, and have them arrest the numerous
"streetwalkers'' that annoy tne resident of both
Streets,
We would see that if burglars are to be allowed
to operate when and where they please, public
notice be given so that our citizens may prepare to
protect themselves.
We would sec that an end lie put to a thieves'
den on N. Third street, known as a concert saloon.
We would have our pawnbrokers kept to a strict
account. There would thor. be less thieving.
We would see that the ordinance in reference to
cloFe diiving be cnforeeil We would have this done
at once.
We would advise certain olflcials not to be seen
so oficu in the company of "professionals."

Tue. Post Okfick to he Knlakokd. Some time
ago General liinghum proposed to the authorities at
Washington the consolidation of the sub-stations,
making the Chesnnt streut otllce the Post Oillce of
tne city. The want or room waa tne oniy tiarner.
Til's difficulty Is now to be overcome. An addition,
to extend from Library street half way to CheBnut
street, anil across the wagon-road to the Custom
jiouse wan, is to tie erected. M iie pians anu specin
cations have been made, uud the contract will at an
early tlay be entered into. The trees which have so
long snaueti tne wagon-nrive nave been removed,
ami everything Is In readiness for the builder. The
addition will be or brick, a single story, with high
ceiling. The roof will be chleily of heavy glass,1n
ortler to make the Interior as cheerful as possible.
The addition will be principally devoted to the re
ception and delivery of mails, packing aud assort
ing. The room gainea by tne addition in tne present
building will be set apart for the carriers, the num
ber of wnom win no considerably increased by tue
closhig of the sub-stations, from which a very large
propoitlonof the uiail matter Is now delivered, ad
well as collected, previous to forwarding to tho cen

Tiik -Trinity Prkhbytkiuan Chowih. This
church Is situated on Frankford road and Cambria
street.. The slise of the main building Is 78 by 4'i
feet ; the chapel at the end Is 42 by ao feet, style
Gothic, pointed grey stone, with tower aud porch
entrance, alue or tne Dunning, when completed,
tao.om It will cost to finish, furnish, and pave
around the main building about $2.'00. The neigh
borhood is gooti and improving, ami a cnurcu or tins
kind Is greatly needed there. As this Is a mission
church. It must depend upon the liberality of the
community to meet its pressing demands. A debt of
about Si'.mki is now pressing upon tne ennren, winch,
together with what Is required to Unish the building,
nisjut j:wo in an, is tne amount wmcn tue Treasurer
requires to put the church upon a permanent basis.
Kev. N. A. Iirown is now ministering to this

hoped, therefore, that the funds needed to ensure the
success of this enterprise will he soon contributed.
Tuf. Claypoolk Family. A couple of what we
should suppose to lie the descendants of Dickens'
famous "Noah" were yesterday captured on Bedford
street, having In their possession two pairs of stolen
boots. At the statiou-nouse they gave their names
as John and Jennie Claypoole, and tu their old
clothes were found several pawn tickets, calling for
a variety of goods that had been stolen. John con
fessed that his line of business wan tho "kinchin

will botii have a hearing at the Central Station to

greatly incensed at the statement of the Postmaster
General in bis report that the franking privilege
costs the Government live 'millions annually.
Statements are being prepared to show that it does
not cost the Government more than a million annu
ally. The assault of the Postmaster-General in re
garded as uncalled for, and calculated to have a bad
etlcet upon the party, a fiord i tig capital for opposi
tion. TrenHiir.v tateinent.
The statement of the condition of the Treasury to

eight millions. Of this about thirty-eight millions is

attempted yesterday to get the attorney! in the
cclcbiuted Mctiarrahan case to agree to have a
mandamus case against Secretary cox advanced lu
the docket of the 1'nlted Slates Supreme Court.
The latter would not agree. Hoar puts it on the
ground of the public interest Involved, although
there are several hundred cases ahead of this, which
is really ol no public Importance. Tbe contest Is
not between the United Stales and McGarrnhai), but
between tbe New Jdria liiicksilver Company, who
aro In possession, and McUarrahau, who is trying to
ouht them. Some surprise la manifested at the in-terf'-runce
of the I'nited states otlicials in a case in

was niscovereil that the odor arising from the wound
was almost Intolerable, and therefore un e.vanilin.

the bandages hail not been renewed since his con

of neglect, and the Court sent to the prison surgeon
for au explanation. This morning the surgeou pro

surgery to disturb the bandage from a comminuted
fracture, such as this, while the discharge was (low

perfectly proper. His Honor accepted this explana

LUNACV. .
Tbe Draper 1'nse Heard at I.nt Postpone
ment lor Another Week.
The case of George W. Draper, who claims a dis
charge from the Ktrkb'ide Insane Asylum, came np
before Judge Ludlow tclay ou a writ of habeas
corpus. Mr. Warrlner, tho counsel for Mr. Draper,
read a form of traverse which called for the dis
charge of the prisoner on the ground that he was not
a lunatic.
Mr. Draper, who was in court, here rose and men.
tinned to the counsel that he was not charged with
being a lunatic bnt a lunatic, placing a very hearty
eiuphat'ls on tho second syllable of tho word.
Dr. Kirkoride waa called and teetifled that Mr, Draper
him linen under bia care for near twenty years, lie waa
placed in the ahjIuih by Ills father on account of rueulal
disorder. On examlLation by witnona be waafouud to
n'.iiv. . . ..... m ivi ... wi ... ....... ... nruurv UI uimu. im
wan nrrer a violent insane man, but wai souiutimaa violent
in conversion when excited, hi is trustee pays for bia
maintenance. Under proper Kuardiauahip ho should not
tear any violence 1' the man were releaaed He bae alway
bad an attendant with biin waen allowed to loae the
aaylnni. The patient, ia accustomed on every change of
ilminihtration in I be Government to writ letters to the
Ficrtidont of tbo United Mates, tot lie Senate, and officials,
a plyina for various ambassadorships, and aaked many
dnitinsuished pernens who have visited the hospital to sign
recommendations.
The J mine stated that the late aot of Assembly was not
calculated to aet tree all insane people from tbe asylum
simply because they were not ravmuly insane. Tbe man
niust be proved to be able to eare lor himself.
Dr. Kirkbride stated tbat if be were reloaeed ba might
indulge in excesses in eating and drinking whiob miglit
alter Ibe cbaiaoter of bis insanity. He would oertainly
annoy the publio authorities, lie baa occasionally been,
allowed to go into tbe city with attendants, and on these
occatoora it has been reiHirtod that be did indulge in auch
eicnssra. The (lector Lad never seen him do anything
which would have a deatruotive tendency either to niui
sulf or others. One of bis many peouiiaritie. ia that
h thinks nimsolf a poet. He writoa verse, not
poetry. The doctor did not think that bia
importunities for nilice were a sufficient ground for bra de
tention, though tbat isone phaaeof bia irurfiniiy. He la com
foitabte in every roipect, and would be bwa comfortable
away from the aayluin. Mia life baa been prolonged, in
the wltnesa' opinion, by hi. roaideno in tba aayluin.
Ho baa often applied to dillerent ftrius for tbe pubhoatiou
of bis poems. He has no capacity in managing Ins money
or property. He would be taken advautago of witbm one
week.
In a letter to Dr. Kirkbride from Mr. Draper, he atatea
tbat be wbdies hie liberty, his goodn, and ready money. A
postaoiipt reads: "Artiolee wanted. Ready eaab aud
liberty and to be rcmovad to Philadelphia, six shirts,
teeth filed, two neck handkerchiefs, tiea, or atockgj red
and black tape, and a wife." Wuen tins portion or tbe
prieoner'a bitter waa read, it was received by. Mr. Draper
with an audible lauitb.
The jury visited tne gentleman personally, whan b waa
consigned to tbe asylum.
Dr. S. Preoton Jones, who ia In eha.rg.of the male dn-
nintni.nl tjtuliliMt th.f l.hlt niLtii.nl. li mm rtMttn uruliir hit
care for ten years, evor sinoe the witnpsa ha. been in
cbar.e of the aayluin ; the prisoner baa spoken to tti wit
BefS of going to stores and ordering goods to tbe amount
of thousands of dollars; b. once went into Vansant'a f'uit
store and orilored a large amount of fruit when he bad
not a eeut of money ; bia attendant baa always informed
the storekeeper, who the man waa, and they have taken .
no rotice of tbe order' he baa often asked It bare brandy,
raying that every gentleman should have hraody i" his
room ; Tie once took poasenaion of Dr. Jonas' private office,
sbutt ng the door on the proper owner, and saying that it
waa bia office.
The ease waa continued until n.zt (Saturday, on m-Hiou
