Coronbr'h Incjueht. The Coroner this

Feion, a boatman In the employ of John Patter
son, who was found drowned yesterday in the
Schuylkill at Race street wharf. The deceased
and Patterson had had a quarrel a short time
before at Twenty-third and Race streets.
John Toole, residing at No. 144 N. Twentv
thlrd street, was called and testified that he did
not know Felon, but saw a boat baud named
McClain on Race street holding another man;
saw Patterson break a stick over the man's
head; the stick was about two or three feet long,
and about as thick as a broomstick; the man
who was struck acted like a drutikeu man; saw
him afterwards on the boat asleep; was afraid
that he would fall into the water; he would have
fallen from drink without the blow; Patterson
did not appear angry, and McClain nt Twenty
third 6trect was holding the man from going
towards Patterson.
Michael Keene, also residing at No. 144 North
Twentj'-tbird street, carringu and bolt maker,
testified to seeing the llgnt at Twenty-third aud
Race streets, but was not in the bwai when the
man fell overboard; after the fight Patterson
went down the street towards the boat, follutved
by the man that was afterwards drowned; saw
Patterson strike tho man; the drowned man
when I last saw him wa on the stern end of
the boat asleep; he could have rolled oil of the
boat; did not hear Patterson thrcuteu to throw
him overboard.
Thomas Birdson (colored) sworn Live at No.
22-3 Race street; am stable-keeper to Mr. Pat
terson; saw the quarrel at tho corner of the
street; was on the boat with Patterson aud the
man; the man was very rtrnuk; while wo were
talking some one said that the mau was over
board; we threw a line, but he 1M not catch it;
Mr. Patterson was not on the boat at the time,
but was at the corner of Twenty-third street.
John McClain sworn Did not know the
drowned man; saw the difliculty at Twenty
third and Race; I ran between the men when
they were fighting and separated them; we fell
down, and 1 got my eye hurt on the pavement;
did not Fee him fall overboard; my back was
towards him; I threw tho line to him, but he did
not catch it; ho was staggering drunk; heard
the man ask Patterson for mouey, but did not
hear Patterson threaten him; coiild easily have
rolled off the end of the boat.
'William Adams, employe of Patterson, sworn.
Was on board of boat at the time, but did not
see him; Patterson had discharged the man from
his employ when the man demanded his wages.
Dr. Shapleigh sworn Made the post-mortem
examination of the body; there were no marks
of violence; discovered that ho came to his
death from drowning; there was a slight bruise
upon the head, but that was all; it was very
slight; no marks of violence on auy other part
of the body.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned
a verdict of "accidentally drowned."
The Mii.itia Fund. After two years con
tinual boring for the militia tax, the mouey has
at last found its way iuto court.
This fund before distribution among the
militia companies has to piy certain expenses.
The principal one is the claim of the assessors
who make the enrollment. It is upon the rolls
prepared by them that the tax is collected. For
tnc labor thus imposed upon the assessors the
law allows them a certain compensation. For
three years the assessors have not been paid,
although they faithfully made the enrollment
each year. The assessors have filed a bill in tho
Court of Common Pleas for an injunction to
restrain General Provo-tand the Militia Board
from spending the fund until their claims are
settled.
In addition to this the assessors refused to
make the militia enrollment this year until they
are paid for the work already performed. If
they persist in this determination it will save
many a poor man from being robbed of hia two
dollars.
A liberal policj' on the part of the board would
be much more creditable to the militia than the
Eelfloh one pursued with the assessors. With all
our favorable disposition towards tho local
militia, we can but regret their present condi
tion. Judging from present prospects, there
will be considerably fewer men in the ranks of
the First Division o"n the 80th of this month than
there were last May. There are too many
generals in our militia. A major-general, four
brigadiers, and thirty ornamental 6taff officers
are too many to command two thousand pri
vates. The Tradesmen's Bank Building. The
new building of the Tradesmen's National Bauk
is now about to be erected ou a lot now occu
pied by two old buildinus on the east side of
Third 'street, above Carter's alley. These two
buildings are to be entirely demolished, and a
fine new structure erected on tne site. anous
plans and specifications have been sub
mitted to the officers of the bank, but
it has not yet been determined which of them
will be accepted. The plans are in different
styles, some being very ornamental, and the
cost, of the most expensive reaches quite a high
ligure. Tbey are all especially planned for the
comfort and convenience of the oilicers of the
bank and their customers In the transaction of
the business of the bank. The amount to be
expended on the structure i8 yet to be fixed, and
when that question is decided a plan will
speedily be approved and the work commenced.
Tho new building will not, however, be con
structed so cheaply as to be entirely unorna
mental, but only such an one will be decided
upon as will be a credit in everv respect to tho

ashes had been covered with rags, and those m
turn covered with laths, and a match applied to
the mass. Frazer was taken into custody, and

Row at a Ball The (not) original John

FOX'S THEATRE.

The Supreme Court has delivered a decision
at llarrisburg which is of considerable impor
tance to Pblladclphians. In the case of Parker
and Watts vs. Rotert Fox, the latter being the
proprietor of the American Theatre. The
decision not only disposeeses him of tho pro
perty but al"0 compels him to make restitution
to a considerable amount to the estate to which
the property belongs. The case has been
in the courts for over a year, and the con
clusion was not reached until several days
since. It appears that on February 27.
1804, Isaac Brown Parker, the owner
of the Continental Theatre, leased it to Mr. Fox
lor a term of live yours, until March 31. 1809 at
a yearly rental of A UOOO, to be paid in quarterly
instalments, ana in addition Mr. Fox was to
I ay all the taxes, charges for licenses, fees, as
sessments. Mater rents, for gas consumed on
the premises, aud all to be paid within the time
required by law. Mr. Parker died on September
10, 1605, and iu his will designated John Brown
larker and Frederick Watts as his executors.
The court confirmed them. On March 31,
1809, at tho expiration of the lease, Mr.
Fox was notified to quit the premises.
He continued in possession until
July 1, 1800, when Mr. Parker, acting for his
colleague Mr. Watts, entered suit before Alder
men Plank!nton and Boswell lor the possession
of the premises. Alter a lull hcarinir tho alder
men ordered Mr. Fox to deliver up the premises,
and directed the Sheriff to diawa jury to decide
the question ot restitution. Accordingly the
inquisition assembled and awarded damages
against Mr. Fox For the unjust detention of
the property, f 016 00; for taxes, $1000: for eras
consumed, $10100; and for water rent, $20 o5;
besides the costs of the suit.
In reply Mr. Fox, by counsel, appeared in the
Court of Common Pleas and tiled the followiug
exceptions to the decree of tlie aldermen:
ilrst. .because the suit was improperly
brought, by the executors, for the possession of
uie real estate.
Second. Because the notice to emit was slrned
by only one of the executors, and therefore
defective.
Third. Because the defendant was not sum
moned as required by law.
fourth. Because the Sheriff did not summon
freeholders, as required by the act of Assembly.
jf inn. because tuo damages were excessive.
and given for other objects than the unjust de
tention of the premises.
Sixth. Because the record does not show all
the facts necessary to give jurisdiction.
lhe reasons were argued on December 31.
1800, the Court sustained the exceptions, and
reversed and set aside the judgment.
On the following day the case was taken to
the Supreme Conrt, aud after argument at llar
risburg Judue Read reversed the decisiou of the
Court below, and ordered restitution to be paid
immediately.

New York, May 10. The steamship Arizona,
from Aspinwall on May 1, has arrived here. The
United States steamer Saranac left Panama on
April 18 for Callao, to investigate the dispute
between Mr. Weir, U. S. Consul at Tumbez,
and the postmaster there, who had had a per
sonal encounter relative to delivering the mails
to the consulate. Admiral Turner would also
investigate the troubles between the Tumbez

reported a bill to provide for the refunding of cer
tain dutlesjimposyil upon the Importation of Kussia

opinion that the act approved August 6, tsai, impos
ing a duty of HO per ton ou unmanufactured
ltussia hemp, and at the same time a duty or only
t'25 per ton ou Manilla and other hemp, was In vio
lation of the treaty between KussU and tho Unltod
btatea of May 11, 1833. which prohibited Bueh dis
crimination upon lorelgn Importations iuto the
I'nlted States. A majority of the committee believed
that the duties collected in vlolati u of treaty stipu
lations ought to be refunded, and the bill so pro
vided. Mr. Sherman, chairman of tho committee, said he
did not agree that the Government ought to refund
these duties, but he believed the duty on Russian
hemp to be In violation of the spirit of the treaty
slih Russia.
Jn obedience to the direction of the committee he
reported a bill to make tbe duty the same as upon
Manilla and other hemp.

New York, May 10. Mr. Roesius, the North
German Consul General here, authorizes the
positive denial of the statement in the London
Times that the warning to German capitalists
against American bonds came from the North
German Consul at New York. He has written
nothing npon the subject.
Tho itlcFarland Trial.
New Yobk, May 10. The court convened at 11
o'clock, and the District Attorney commenced his
closing speech. Commenting first on the extraordi
nary length of time taken by tbe trial, he declared
It the duty of the jHry and hlraseir to devote eveu
three times as much time, if necessary, to give the
prisoner a lair trial. Passing on to the case, he said
no man had the right to take the law Into his hands.
Perhaps Richardson and Mrs. McFarland were inno
cent. Richardson was a brave man, who had de
voted himself to the service of his country during
the late war. Was he likely a man to dishonorably
seduce a man's wife? Moreover, It was unlikely
that Richardson would marry his mistress; men
never do except under compulsion, Mc Farland
had given up his wife for two years; a divorce was
had ; and on his death-bed Rlchardsoa married Mrs.
McFarland as a pure woman.
The defense acknowledge the commission of the
deed, but say It was tho deed of an Insane man. In
the same breath they say he was justified In slaying
an adulterer. This Is not logical. Tho jury must
decide whether the prisoner was Insane. Any man
could tell for himself whether the man was mad.
Hhat is the case of the defense? That
the prisoner became insane after receiv
ing the intercepted letter which he after
wards offered to sell for floo, yet during this
time he held a responsible position and showed per
ception and judgment. He contended that the Cole
and Sickles cases were not at all parallel, and
showed where they differed. Still he believed both
of these men guilty and should have been punished.
The jurors must obey their oaths. Mercy was not
theirs, that the Governor would look to.
McFarland and Richardson dlued together at No.
72 Amity street, where they were Intimate. McFar
land at that time Is proved by Sinclairto have been
guilty of bratal Intoxication, and the wife's heart
was broken by this conduct. For a long time she
kept this state of things secret, but at last she could
not longer bear it. She left him, and a council of
mutual friends was agreed upon. A pure woman
loves and keeps her children. A worthless woman
leaves them to her husband when she elopes witn
her paramour.
McKarlHiid left his wife and said to Sinclair and
Jordan that he never expected to live with her
again.
After reviewing the testimony to establish in
sanity, counsel alluded to the movements of the
prisoner on the day of the shooting, which, he said,
showed perfect deliberation arising from an Inti
mate knowledge of Richardson's habits. He lay In
wait for ten minutes for Richardson.
