THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1870. tity Affair. St. Mark's Murk Chapter, No. 1, Knights Templars of the Cross, was oraiii.nd a i'ew days ttince. No one is admitted to this order unless ho is in jporl Htnmlinr' in the subordi nate Temples of Honor nnd Temperance. Ellen Kiley, thirty years old, residing in Tino street, above Thirteenth, fell from a Htep yesterday, and was severely injured. She was admitted to the Pennsylvania Hospital. About five hundred of the workmen in the l'hiludelphia Navy Yard will lo thrown out of employment at the closo of the present month. An inquest was bold yestorday by the Coroner upon the body of the mnn found drowned on Monday night last, at pier No. 2, on tho Delaware, above Market street. A verdict of accidentally drowned was rendered. The body was identified as that of John Hughes, supposed to live in the Neck. Also, upon the body of Christophor II. Welsh, aged 11 yoars, rosiding on Otsego fitrect, below Morris. 'While engaged ou Monday last in unloading ship timber from a car, at Washington avenue wharf, a large piece fell upon and instantly killed him. Verdict, accidentally killed. Charles Kolly, who was committed by Alderman Kerr to await the result of the stabs inflicted on Lewis S. Foster, in a fight on the morning of the 14th instant, was brought up from prison yesterday for a hear ing. Dr. llichardson, of the Pennsylvania Hospital, testified that Foster is almost well, but still has some trouble about the lungs; that the external wounds are almost healed up: while he could not say that Foster is en tirely out of danger, he did not think a fatal result probable. Kelly was then held in $2000 bail for a hearing when Foster in able to b t present and testify. The journeymen carpenters, at a public meeting held lost evening, adopted tho fol lowing: JicHolvcd, By the Jonrneym en Carpenters, in the publio meeting assembled, That owing to the still high cost of living and high rents, wages remain this coming season as last $3 per day for skilled workmen. The Committee on Schools of City Coun cils and the Committee on Property of the Board of Control met yesterday afternoon at the Board of Control rooms to open bids for the erection of an additional wing to the colored school, Sixth and Lombard streets, Fifth ward. The proposals for the same were: William It. Frazier $l.r,321 T. McCarthy ir.,5500 G. II. Brinkworth 13,850 The appropriation;being only $10,000, the awarding of tho contract was postponed for the present, and a resolution adopted in structing the Chairman on Schools to report nn ordinunce making a transfer of $3850 from the balance now held by the Seventeenth sec tion to the Fifth section. The Committee on Schools of the Board of School Control held a meeting yesterday afternoon, in tho building corner of Sixth and Adelphi streets, and agreed, provided City Councils will consent, to take possession of the City Arsenal and Armory, at Broad and Itace streets, as a site for a new Girls' Normal School and School of Practice for teachers. The Broad street property belongs to the city, and it is believed that the members of Coun cils will consent to donate the same for school purposes. Domemli) Affairs. Gold closed yesterday at 111 . The bill to admit Texas has passed the Senate. There is no truth in the report that changes are contemplated in the Cabinet. The Clare murder trial, in Baltimore, has resulted in the acquittal of the accused. The committee to whom was referred the Funding bill is in favor of making it ac ceptable to the banking interest. The Senate spent a couple of hours yes terday in discussing the St. Domingo pur chase, without arriving at any conclusion. In the Ohio House of Representatives, yesterday, the Democrats refused to pass resolutions of respect to the memory of Gen eral Thomas. An effort, it is said, is being made to make General Porter, the President's private secretary, the next Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. About a week ago a farmer was mur dered in his own barn at Troy. Yesterday his son-in-law committed suicide, leaving behind a confession of the deed. It is the intention of the leading Repub licans in Congress to have the Texas bill passed, and the fifteenth amendment declared adopted, before Virginia can recall its ratifi cation. The House Appropriation Committee has agreed to refuse all appropriations for new publio buildings, and that all now in pro gress are to be finished in the cheapest man ner possible. Foreign Affairs. Ledm Rollin has returned to Paris. A levy of 40,000 fresh troops is proposed in bnain. More arrests have been ordered in con nection with the French conspiracy. In deference to the European powers, the discussion on Papal Infallibility will be postponed until the latter part of May. Publio feeling against Prince Fierre Bonaparte runs very high in Paris. A pro fessor, for giving evidence in his favor, has been hissed and insulted by his students and compelled to leave the lecture hall. 3iEW JERSEY M. E. COXFEEEXCE.

C 1,1 -Ml ISSfl 1) HY OKNKltAL SHERMAN. 1 Iv.f urAKTEiis or the Army, Adjutant Gi M.ivAis Office, Wakiiinuton, March:!'.!, 170. It lias become tho painful duty of tho General to niinoiuico to the army the death of one of our most exalted Generals, George U. Thomas, who expired last evening at halt-past seven in San Francisco, California. There is no need to turn to tho archives to search for Lis history, for it is recorded on almost every pa;e during the past ten years; but his class mates and comrades owe him a personal tri bute in which ho knows every member of the army shares. General Thomas entered the Military Academy in the class of ls.'M!, graduated in 1M0, and was commissioned as a second lieu tenant of the 3d Artillery and sent to Florida. He served with his regiment continuously until December 24, 1853, when he became a captain, having been particularly distin guished at Monterey an Buena Vista. On May 12, 1855, he was appointed to the 2d Cavalry as Major, and served with that regi ment continuously until he became its Colonel, on May 3, 18(11. The great civil war found him at his post, true and firm, amid the ter rible pressure he encountered by reason of his birth-place, Virginia; and President Lin coln commissioned him as a Brigadier-General of volunteers and sent Lim to Kentucky. There, too, his services were constant and eminent in the highest degree. He won the first battle in the West at Mill Spring, Kentucky; and from first to last, without a day's or an hour's intermission, he was at his post of duty, rising steadily and irresistibly through all the grades to the one he held as Major-General of the regular army at the time of his death. At Shiloh, Corinth, Perrysville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Chat tanooga, Atlanta, and Nashville he fulfilled the proudest hopes of his most ardent friends, and at the close of the war General George II. Thomas stood in the very front rank of our war generals. The General has known General Thomas intimately since they sat as boys on the same bench, and the quality in him which he holds up for the admiration and example of the young, is his complete and entire devotion to duty. Though sent to Florida, to Mexioo, and Texas and Arizona, when duty there was absolute banishment, he went cheerfully and never asked a personal favor, exemption, or leave of absence. In battlo he never wavered; firm and of full faith in his cause, ho knew it would prevail, and he never sought advancement of rank or honor at the expense of any one. Whatever he earned of these were his own, and no one disputed his fame. The very impersonation of honesty, integrity, and honor, he will stand to us as the beau ideal of the soldier and gentleman. Though he leaves no child to bear his name, the old Army of the Cum berland, numbered by tens of thonsands, called him father, and will weep for him in tears of manly grief. His wife, who cheered him with her messages of love in the darkest hours of the war, will mourn him now in sad ness, chastened by the sympathy of a whole country. The last sad rites due him as a man and a soldier will be paid at Troy, N. Y., on the arrival of his remains, and the friends of his family and all his old comrades who can be present are invited there to share in the obse quies. At all the military poets and stations flags will be placed at half-mast, and fifteen minute guns will be fired the day after the receipt of this order, and the nsual badge of mourning will be worn for thirty days, command of General Sherman.

Last Saturday moraine: about twenty minutes past nine o'clock, one and a half miles west of A i toon a, as tne "rcnneyivania central racinc Express." coiner west, was rounding: a curve on the mountain side at a rapid rato, a deep preci pice on one side and high impending rocks on the otter, a wee laa was seen aneaa waving nis hat and tossing his little arms aloft. The train was stopped within a few feet of a mass of rock and dirt upon tne tracK sutncient to nave tnrown passengers, engineer, and cars over the preci pice. The lad, whose name Is Willie Cahko, not ten years old, had seen the fall and hastened to siimal the approachine train. W hile this act oi loreiaougnt ana numanity in one bo young and mountain-bred deserves especial public record, and will ever be a source of satisfaction in his after life,' et we have no donbt he will receive from the railroad company a more substantial recognition, as he would have done from the passengers had they known at the time ot his providential interference Mr. Thomas Watt, the conductor of the train. was hirrhlv elated and era tl fled at this worthy specimen of Pennsylvania's youthful benevo lent forethought, au nonor to tne mountain bov. Wilkie Caho. The companv cannot do less thn provide for the education oi this boy, ana give nlm Etart in life. Incidentals. A liltle boy in Grass Valley, California, eat some friction matches on the 12th instant, and has now cone where matches are made. lienor Smechia, proprietor of the Odeon Theatre at Valparaiso, has arrived in Lima to arrange for the erection of a theatre capable of holding ViOtiO persons, ana in wnu n ne intenas to hold perfoimances of his opera company, A religious paper BODcriy announces mat Job must have been worth at least $370,000, but docs not state whether its estimate is on a gold or a greenback basis. However, it may not now make much dinerence to oou.

Some of the Juniors in Princeton College hnving been ex-pclled for participating iu a spree, ail tne members oi tue ciass, eiguiy-mrce in number, have signed the pledge, and in conse quence of this the expelled members have been reinstated by the unanimous vote of the Faculty. The Lexington (Kv.) Statesman reports that abeut midnight on Saturday last a band of Ku-Klux made au attack upon a negro village near Mount Sterling, and a regular battle en sued, which resulted in a couple of Ku-Klux being slightly wounded and captured, and tbo rest being driven off. The prisoners begged the negroes lor mercy, ana tne negroes let mem go. There was a fall in real estate on Wednesday night In South Worcester, Mass. Certain build ing lots near Southbrldge street that had been filled to a height oi two or tnree ieet above tne sanoundlng suriace, suddenly dropped Deiow the grade, and have gone down under water. A pule was thrust down thirty feet in search of solid bottom. Several rods of the street there once before sunk down nine or ten feet with similar abruptness, Holding landed property thereuboutB g somewhat unsafe. Dr. Bihch lately read an Interesting paper before the Royal Society of Literature, on "Coflins and Mummies discovered in Egypt during the visit of his Koyal Highness the Prince of Wales," a sepulchre having been dis interred at Thebes, Just at the time that he was there, containing several coffins and mummies, all apparently of a Theban family who lived about the seventh century before the Christian era. The site bad twen known for some time to some of the residents on the spot, but had been kept a secret. Tll A SAIH STORY. A Unmnnrji ef the Onrliln DlnnMpr. "Mack." tleWalinu;toti enrreopondeue of tho Cincinnati Enquirer, recites tbo lollowin pain lul narrative: In conversation with ft very Intelligent and accomplished lady from Maine a few days Unco, I learned the following facts which throw the r-lindow of a tad romnnco over tho Oneida dis amer. Commander Williams, the highest olllcer on the vessel, and one of tho lost.was a widower of something less than forty, nnd tho fathor of two bright little children. In May last ho con tracted an engagement for a second marrlago, which was to have taken place very oon after the arrival of the Oneida In this country. I believe It was fixed for the middle of April. He left the United Btates for Japan in June last, nnd just before his departuro ho was one of a dinner party at which my informant and tho nlhanccd bride were also present. Had ho re turned safely ho would have known a fate which his brave heart would not have met with the cool courage that faced death at his post on tho qnnrtcr-deek. Since the 1st of January his two children nnd his intended wife have died. When he left Japan he had not heard this sad news, but supposed he was coming home to meet them all In health and happiness. Soto one, at least, of the gallant men who went down In the ill-fated steamer, death cannot be called disaster. MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Marine Nea tee Pint Pag.
