Successful Entertainment. Last evening
the scholars of the Mission Sabbath School, con
nected with the West Arch Street Presbyterian
Church, gave an entertainment lu the school
room, eorner of Sixteenth and Pearl streets,
which was one of the most successful affairs of
the kind ever gotten up in Philadelphia. The

dialogues quite natural, and the songs and
choruses charming. Miss Fannie B. Rumm pre
sided at the piano with much grace, and per
formed admirably, and Mr. Charles II. Davis
received the utmost applause, as he richly de
served, for the ability displayed in training the

places, aUo, to make tbe temperance movement
flourish.

Heavt Robbery of Cdtlert. Borne time
last night thieves robbed the hardware estab
lishment of A. Justice fe Co., No. 14 North
Fifth street, of fine cutlery valued at 11000.
Tbe scamps secreted themselves in the cellar
yesterday afternoon, where they remained until
the place was closed up. They then secured a
trunk which was in the place, and having filled
it and a bag with the plunder, they decamped.
Officer Seers, of the United States Secret Ser
vice, while hunting after some counterfeiters
come across the hardware stowed away in the
house of Frank Riley, No. 739 Clover street.
He gave information to the Detective office,
when Chief Kelley, Detective Franklin, and
Lieutenant Smith visited the house, and not
only secured the goods, but also three men, who
were sitting around the trunk dividing the
spoils. They were taken to the Central Station,
where they gave the names of John Evans, John
Morgan, and John Jones. Riley was also
arrested. The prisoners will have a hearing to
morrow afternoon before Alderman Kerr.
Scientific Microcosm The first public
lecture under the auspices of this association
was delivered last evening In the lecture room
of the High School by Prof. JE. J. Houston,
upon "Statical Electricity." By means of the
machine, tbe Ruhmkorff coil, and a variety of
minor apparatus, a variety of most beautiful ex
periments were exhibited. Of these, the passage
of the electric current in vacuo, the charming
tints produced by passing electricity through
Geysler tubes, and the Gaisiot cascade, in
which an emerald green vase appears, overflow
ing with a pink and purple auroral light, were
the most brilliant. The next meeting of the
Microcosm was announced for June 1.
Domestic Brawl. At Thirteenth and Vine
streets resides a couple named Bruce. From their
constant bickerings one would be led to suppose
that their married life is anything other, than
pleasant. Yesterday a quarrel originated over
somo trivial matter, when the husband, whose
baptismal name is William, attempted to play a
tune on the head of Mrs. Bruce. The lady, who
is blessed with an excellent pair of respirators,
yelled lustily for help. One of the Sixth dis
trict officers responded, and after a severe tussle
with William, took him before Alderman Jones,
who committed him in default of 4:000 bail to
answer.
Pugilistic Yesterday Reserve Officer Burns
attempted to arrest a disorderly character named
Cornelius Gibbons, who by his antics had
gathered together a large crowd in the neigh-
bornooc ot fourth ana Lue6nut streets. Corne
lius being somewhat pugilistic, gave the officer
so severe a beating that he was obliged to call
for assistance. A brother officer arriving, Cor
nelius was taken before Alderman Kerr, who
sent him to prison In default of $1200 bail.
The Central Presbyterian Church, N. L.
The lecture room of the Central Presbyterian
Church, Northern Liberties, recently completed,
will be opened with appropriate exercises, com
mencing on next Sunday, May 8. The new
building is situated at the northeast corner of
Franklin and Thompson streets. The services
will be held on Sunday morning, afternoon,
and evening, and on every evening of the week
following, except Saturday. Distinguished
speakers are announced for each evening.
Assault and Battery Mr. J. Crawford
Dawes, Secretary and Treasurer of the Spruce
and Pine Streets Railway Company, who was so
outrageously assaulted by Sergeant Johnson
Major, of the Fifth district, on Wednesday night
last, has caused the arrest of the "model Ser
geant," and a hearing in the case will take place
before Alderman Beitler to-morrow afternoon at
8 o'clock.
Fire The alarm of fire abont 4 o'clock this
morning was caused by the burning of an old
unoccupied building situated at the southeast
corner of Fifth and Canal streets. The struc
ture, which was partly brick and partly frame,
was entirely destroyed, involving aloes of 41000.
Tbe premises were formerly occupied by Chas.
Griffith as an iron foundry. The fire is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
Marine. Some time this morning river
thieves boarded the schooner Harriet Miller,
which was lying in the Delaware opposite
Kaigbn's Point, all ready for sailing, and robbed
ber of the jib sail. Tbe captain aad crew were
all aboard at the time, wrapped in the arms of
Morpheus. Officer English, of the Harbor
Police, subsequently found the canvas at the
lower end of Smith's Island.
Attevpted Burglary. Between 1 and 2
o'clock Wednesday morning a burglar attempted
to enect an entrance to the residence of Uon
stantine Myers, Bridge and Richmond streets,
Bridesburg, by forcing open a rear ' window
shutter. This bungling operation aroused the
family, who reached the window just in time to
see the fellow clambering; over the fence. Of
course he escaped.
IIigdwat Robbery Last night an impecuni
ous scoundrel, named George Cowell, attacked
a citizen at Seventh and Race streets, and
despoiled him of his gold watch aud pocket
book. The highwayman was about escaDinir
when Oflicer Miller took him into custody, and
Alderman Godbou sent him to prison.
A Denial. His Ilouor Mavor Fox emphati
cally denies the statement of Mr. Dawes, as pub
lished yesterday. Ills Honor has no recollection
of having seen the card of Mr. Dawes, and in
stead of having been cccupled with politicians
was devoting his time to the committee for the
relief of the Richmond sufferers.
A Hero (!) Lewig ('arrbran. who resides on
Wurnock street, above Girard avenue, yesterday
gave an exhibition of his heroism bv beating his
wife. An oflicer, hearing her cries for help,
entered the house, and arrested the brute. Alder
man Hood sent him to prison in default of )400
hall.
Opin Houses. The police of the Fifth dis
trict report finding open during last night the
aoors 01 tne awemug no. yjg rine street, and
the northeast corner of Eighth and Spruce streets.
The police of tbe Third district also report seven
open bouses. When will our housekeepers learn
to avoid this criminal carelessness i
Corner Loungers. The police of the Twelfth
District last night arrested six corner loungers.
They were taken before Alderman Hood,
who imposed the usual fine. Keep it up, Lieu
tenant. DTIKG HARD.
Baltimore! Panalnc Tnraaafc aTerrtble Ordeal
"Colored i'eraona Admitted In Thin Car."
The Baltimore city railroad companies have
put cars on the tracks in which colored people
are admitted, in obedience to a recent decision of
tbe courts compelling them either to do this or to
allow negroes to ride in all cars on tbe routes.
On Monday, cart with the following placard
appeared npon the streets at regular Intervals:
"Colored Persons Admitted In this Car."
The Baltimore American says: To the utter
astonishment of those persons who predicted
that the cars set apart for the colored persons
would be run without passengers, they yesterday
traversed our streets with about the same quota
of passengers as were wont to patronize them
before. One of our reporters spent an hour on
the corner of Baltimore and Eutaw streets ob
serving tbe result of the first day's experiment.
There were as many white passengers in the
cars to which colored people were admitted as
in the other cars. There were not more than
four colored persons in any one of the labelled
care, and in most of them there were only one
or two, but the full complement of passengers
was made up by white people. In very few In
stances did passengers hesitate to take the first
car that came along, utterly regardless and pos
sibly unconscious of the red-lettered label.
It was astonishing during the early portion of
yesterday morning to watch the antics of those
few persons who objected to ride In the cars de
voted to the colored people. On Madison avenue
ladles and gentlemen would carefully peer into
tbe cars, and if no person of color was there
ensconced, in they would jump, but secretly
praying that they might not be disturbed by the
entrance of a colored man, woman, or child.
One lady, who had entered a car at the corner of
Madison and Biddle streets, chanced to seat her
self beside a man whose complexion indicated
that he was not a pure Caucasian. The lady
squirmed for a while, and at last, being unable
to restrain her passion, almost screamed into the
man's ear, "Why don t you get into tne car de
voted to persons of your color?"
Tbe man fairly bounded from hie seat, so ter
rifle was the screech given, and for a moment
seemed to be lost in thought regarding the
sanity of the lady. He finally managed to say,
"Am I not In the right ?" to which she replied,
"No. vou're not; colored persons rile in a spe
cial car to-day, and this car is for white per
sons." The affrighted man now regained his
composure, and said, "Madam, I am a resident
of Charleston, South Carolina, and can boast of
as good a family, perhaps, as you can, and per-
baps it von Knew my name, you wouia oe more
careful in future how you find fault with persons
whose complexions are a shade darker than
yours." The lady called upon the conductor to
stop the car, and quitted it with feelings expe
rienced by a person who has committed a mean
action and been exposed.
Several of tbe conductors, when they had
been informed that their cars had been set apart
for the accommodation of colored persons, re
fused to take charge of them, and resigned their
positions. Their situations did not remain idle
many minutes, as there are plenty of men on
hand who are happy to get an opportunity of
earning $21 per week, and who did not object
to collect fare from a man because his com
plexion did not resemble Parian marble.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Wilkkbbarrb, Pa., May CA terrible con
flagration is now raging along the line ef the
Wilkeebarre Mountains, extending from this
place to Clark's Green. It originated from some
unknown cause at White Ilaven, on the lino of
the Lehigh Valley and Lehigh and Susquehanna
Railroads, and its fearful progress has proved
Irresistible. The entire population are out
fighting the flames, but thus far their efforts
have been futile.
The loss along the route must be very heavy.
Accounts already received report the destruc
tion of millions of feet of lamber and cord wood,
and miles of fence; nine dwelling-houses, seven
barns, a large steam sawmill, and considerable
other valuable property. Nothing short of
heavy rain will extinguish this immense fire,
which threatens devastation to everything in its
course.

FROM NEW YORK.
The McFarlaad Trial.
Continued from the Second Edition.
The question then for the jury was as to the
mental condition of the accused when the deed
was committed. After speakin? of the power of
a good woman for good, counsel went on to say
there were two incidents in the trial well worthy
or observation one was tbe appearance ot pri
vate counsel in the case; the other was the
objection to three jurors who happened to be
countrymen of the prisoner. 1 hose men were
good and reputable citizens, eligible as jurors.
and their exclusion by the District Attorney wts
utterly inaeiensibie. uuestions assea by pri
vate counsel prove that private malice was at
tbe back of tbe prosecution.
He wished to impress upon the jury that this
was a case ot murder or notninjr. Any kucu
compromise as sending the prisouer to the State
Prison would be a violation of their oaths. Tbe
jury should remember that a man might be inaua
towards one individual aud sane towards all
others. Counsel then read portions of tho
Scriptures, proving thereby that Richardsonjliad
violated tue seventh ana ten commandment, lor,
not satisfied with debauching McFarland's wife,
be bad coveted ber for himself. Uuder tbe old
law adulteresses were doomed to death. The
remainder of the speech, up to the hour of
recess, was occupied by reviewing tbe evidence
showing insanity, which counsel impressed upon
the jurors was fully proved.
