From the Elko (Nevada) Independent of a recent date we take tbe following fearful story: In tre long catalogue or crimes, hut few If any cases equal the one perpetrated in tills town on last Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, In point of reck lessness, horror, and brutality. A young woman . named Annie McMaous, but who was familiarly Knon here by the name of Dolly, who has been en gaged as a walter-girl In a saloon for some two months past, was most inhumanly attacked, and dicadfully cut with a knife, RECEIVING SIXTY-FIVK WOUNDS, from the effects of which she died on Monday after noon, it appeals from her statements, and by let ters found among bis effects, that the murderer's name w Bernard J. Cosgrove. and that l.e had fol lowed Dolly from San Francisco with the avowed Intention of murdering tier, Cosgrove arrived In Flko come tt n days ago, since which time he com pelled Dolly to live with him, and most of the time kept her locked up In her rom, carrying the key In bis i ockct. on Saturday he received 140 from his mother in San Francisco, to euatne him to return home, which was accompanied with an affectionate letter from one of his family. During that day and night be was engaged in gambling until he lost his money, when he became morose and ugly, and Dually endeavored to steal money from tne dloe-biard. O. M. Hanks, a policeman, who happened to be on hand, took him away and escorted hlin np Fourth street towards his room. When about half way home the man thanked the officer and said he could find the place without difficulty Banks sauntered round for a few moments, when he heard the CRY OP "MURDER !" and piercing shrieks from the direction of the room occupied by the parties. He Immediately went to ihe house, where ho found the door locked, and was obliged to break It open. On entering the house ne found THE WALLS AND BED BESPATTERED WITH BLOOD, and the murderer escaped. The inhuman wretch hud taken to the sagebrush, but bis track had been wutcbed. Sheriff Fitch and deputy and others were awakened, and started in pursuit. By the assistance f a dog that took his track tbe man was discovered, and In the assault upon him the dog was badly cut in the neck and shoulder. The man was found lvlng on the ground, apparently dead. In his hand w- found a dagger, covered with long, black hair und blood. The prisoner could not bo made to speak while being taken to prison, but was sulky and obstinate. FATAL TERMINATION. At 7 o'clock on Sunday morning the woman was Iniormed that It was impossible for her to live, and If she bad any requests to make to do so. She di rected that a telegram be sent to her father, in San yianclsco, and requested the attendance of a priest, d that she might be burled respectably. Upon 1 elng questioned as to who cut her, and why It was done, she replied, "Barney stabbed me, but I do not know what for." Her Buffering was terrible, the breath oozing out oi four wounds at every respira tion, until Monday afternoon at 6 o clock, when her bj irit passed away. LETTER FOUND ON THE MURDERER. In the prisoner's pocket was found the following letter addressed to Mrs. Ann Cosgrove, Sau Fran cisc : "Ii.ko, June 4, 1ST0. Dear. Dear Mother: For give me for what I am about to do, as I am mad and csnnot help it. I think I am the most miserable cearnre on the earth.

CHURCH IN THE WOODS. Tbe Methodist National ( amp frteetln Pre parations for ao luiuieuse Oatheriuc. The National Association of the Mathodlst Episco pal Church will begin its fourth annual session at the camp-meeting grounds iu Uanill on, Masshu eetts, to-day, and continue until July 1. Of the Asso ciation and the preparations for the occasion the Boston Journal says: "It is composed of some of the leading ministers of the Methodist denomination. From present ap pearances the meeting will be very largely attended one hundred and titty tents having already arrived t.n the ground from Baltimore, and numerous dele gations having promised to come on from New York, Philadelphia and other large cities, while Maine will send a host. Every accommodation will be provided for the crowd, however, and already the Association has put up nve hundred tents, in addition to the forty-live immense ones ot their own. Of course flue weather is heartily wished for, but even If heavy rains fall, the services can still go on, a mammoth lent, capable of accommodating some fifteen hundred persons, having been provided and placed on the top of the hill. It will be dedi cated on Wednesday next. The improvements that have been made la tne grounds siice last year have been very great. Ex cept when the weather waa too severe to allow of work being done out of doors, gome few men have been employed since the last camp-meeting In pre paring new avenues, removing buildings, or putting up new ones. Perhaps the greatest Improvement or aocommodation Is that made by the Eastern Kali road Company, who have laid a branch line to within a lew yards of the gate, and have erected a hand some depot two hundred feet Iu length, with offices persons. ' CttPii 0t snelteruiK on8 thousaud '-Of the whole forty acres under the control of the AsburyC'amp Meeting Association very little will remain unoccnpled for the next few weeks Plana have been made lor the laying out of a park, the lunch department has been removed and placed In a locality where It will be In better keeping with the appearance of the grounds, several elegant two story Swiss cottages have been erected, and ever arrangement has beea made for accommodation provided the symmetry of tbe present arrauKeiuenu were not interfered with. 'The victualing department, under the charge of a committee, U considerably enlarged, and now about three thousand a day can be provided with dinner, without any crowding, besides tills num ber, however, about six hundred more can be pro vided for In the lunch department, and there are also some grocery and baker stores where provi sions can be procured and cooked by private parties. The kitonen, enlarged and generally -axed over,' la now one of the handsomest buildings on the grounds. . and la capable of more than double tbe amouut of work oelng performed In It than last year. "There has been a new avenue opened up from tbe railroad depot to the centre of the grounds. The auditorium has been carefully graded, provided with new seats, with sloping backs, and altogether very comfortable, and capable of accommodating four thousand persona. The pavilion from whence apeeches, etc., will be made is also remodelled. "A high picket fence encloses tbe grouuds. The gates will be closed every night at half-past iu o'clock, finri rA.nnpiiri nr.

The Corpses of the Poor to be Chopped ap la the Tale Medical College-The Bill which the Yale Professors are ixmuagllnff Through the legislator. Prom the Meriden Recorder. Our faithful correspondent In New Haven sent us for Saturday's dally a draft of the bill now before the Legislature which in effect, were it adopted, would revive the old "Boll l p Law." Some of our older readers will remember something about that law and the excitement which attended Its enactment. Old residents of New Haven bave not forgotten the mob that assembled to tear down the Medical Col lege, where. It was reported, the cellars were Oiled with dead oodles awaiting dissection. Possibly a similar scene may be enacted there should the bill now before the Legislature pass. The main provision of the "Boll Up Law" was that on the death of any person whose Interment shonld be at tbe expense of the State, or of any town within the State, If no friends appear to claim the body and give it burial, the authorities might on application give It to the physicians for dissection. The law was a very odious one, particularly to the poor. It was enacted by the Democrats, and the W bigs used It very effectively against the Democra cy, pledging themselves to repeal It when they ob tained the power. The law was enacted in 1833, and bears the signature of Henry W. Edwards, as Governor, Ebenezer Stoddard, Lieutenant Governor, Samuel Ingham, Speaker of the House. The next year the Whigs were successful, electing Samuel A. Foot, of Cheshire, Governor, and, in accordance with their promises one of their first acts was to repeal the odious law. The law now proposed li qnite as lnfamons In Its character as the old one, and the action of its friends In trying to prevent the people from knowing any thing about the measure shows that they so regard it themselves. By it the body of any deceased per son whose friends are not new enough to claim it within twenty-four hours belongs to the physicians if the authorities are willing to give It to them, and If the friends are near enough, but fall to make de mand for the body, It can be gten bp for dissection. In many cases It would be impossible for the friends of a deceased person to be notified of his death within tweuty-four hours, to say nothing of their being able to reach tie ritate within that time, and they might arrive Just In time to have the "privi lege" of witnessing the last operation on the dissect ing table. It might, however, be a great "comfort" for them to know that the humane law would allow them to receive the sacred portions of the body upon making polite demand on the doctors. A Legislature which should enact such a law would be justly denounced by everybody who cares for the friendless, and the law would be used against any political party that could have prevented its enactment and yet failed to prevent it. TBE INPAMOUa BILL. Be it enacted by the Senate and limine of Representa tive, in General A usembly convened. Section 1. It shall be lawful In cities for the Mayors thereof to deliver to the professors and teachers la chartered medical colleges In this State, and for sai l professors and teachers to receive, the remains or body of any deceased person, for the purposes of meulcal and surgical study; provided, that said remains shall not have beeu regularly interred, and shall not have been desired lor Interment, by any relat've or friend of said deceased person, within twenty-four hours after death; provided also, that the remains of no person, who may bo known to have relatives or friends, shall be so delivered or received, without the consent of said relatives or friends; and provided, that the rematns of no person who shall have expressed a desire In his or her last sickness, that his or her body may be in terred, thall be delivered or received as aforesaid ; and provided a'so, that in case the remains of auy person so delivered or received shall be subse quently claimed by any surviving relative or friend, they bhall be given up to said relative or friend for interment. And It shall be the duty of the said pro fersors and teachers decently to bury the remains of all bodies after they shall have answered the pur poses of study aroresald ; and for any neglect or vio lation of this provision of this act the party so neglecting shall forfeit and pay a penalty of not iest than 825, nor more than $50. Section 2. The remains or bodies of such persons as may be so received by the professors and teachers aforesaid, shall be used for the purposes of medical and surgical study alone, In a manner consistent with public propriety, and in this State only, and whoever shall remove such remains beyo'ud the limits of this State, or In any manner traffic In the same Bhall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction, be imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year In a county jail. WAS IT A SUICIDE J fflutllated Human Kenaln Pound ITanuIng to a Tree A Ulan baton by Hogs. The St. Louis Democrat of the 20tH Instant says: A short distance below Carondelet Is a line tract of land known as the Allen place. The farm is rented by a Mr. Wagner, who, with his family, occupy the place and cultivate the land. On Friday evening Mr. Waguer told his son to search for a missing steer In the timber, and the boy, with two companions, started out to look for it. On reaching a point about three-quarters of a mile below the river J.es Peres, and within a few yards of the track of the Iron Mountain Railroad, the boys saw a dark body among the trees, which they at first supposed to be the missing animal. On a closer approach, however, they found the body of a man hanging by a leather strap from the limb of a small tree, within twenty-live feet of the railroad track. Tbe body only of the man remained, as the limbs baa been torn off at the thighs, and devoured by hogs. The man had apparently beeu hanging there lor several months, and tbe skin and tlesh on the hands, arms, aud face had dried and shrivelled under the fierce rajs of the sun until the corpse ap peared like an Egyptian mummy. The eyes, lips, and tongue were gone, aud the weight of the body upon the strap had burst tbe skin of tbe chin, and the jawbone was exposed to view. The Intestines were also gone, and the sight was altogether one of the most horrible that could be Imagined. The strap by which the body waa sus penued bad evidently been used by the deceased as a belt. No knot or noose was tied in It, but it had been buckled over the limb, and the suicide, if suicide it was, bad deliberately thrust his head through the loop, and with his feet rBttng upon tbe ground bad leaned forward upon tbe strap aDd choked himself to death. From the fact tht two of the ribs, one on the right and one on the left side, were broken, a suspicion was aroused that the man might bave been murdered and placed In that position to create a false impression that ne had committed suicide. With tne exception of the two broken ribs, however, the other bones were found entire. It is possible that the man may have been accidentally Injured and out of the reach of human assistance, may, In his agony, bave nsed this method of terminating his sufferings. Be this as it may, nothing was found by which the mutilated remains could be Identified, and tbe Coroner's jury, believing that tbe man bad committed suicide, re turned a verdict In accordance with the suppo sition. REMARKABLE INSANITY. A Respectable 4'ltlzea after Years of Economy Becomes a Keck 1cm MpeadtarlU. Considerable excitement, says the Pittsburg Com mertial of yesterday, was caused In the Seventeenth ward during the latter part of last week, by the re markable conduct of a man who had for years been one of the most temperate, respectable and econo nomlcal residents of that part of the city, and who. It Is stated, bad amassed a fortune of over I w.noo. It appears that bis strange conduct waa llrt noticed a lew days ago, when be gave a free lunch at a tavern on Pike street to a large crowd, the ex pense being about f 78. On Saturday he went t Mitchell A Moreland's livery stable, and contracted for a splendid team for $760. He then hired four men to drive around with him, paying them $5 per day each. His next step was to engage a band of music for one week, at $25 per night, to serenade blm every evening. On Saturday be went to markei and bought ITS worth of bouquets and distributed them with a lavish band along Penn and Butler streets. He als purchased some six dozen bottles or wine, saying that be was going to give a grand celebration. Ills conduct was so strange that it was deemed best to bave blm taken to Dlxmout, and be was re moved to that hospital yesterday. The unfortunate man had been for several years a sousr and Indus t lous citizen, in explanation of bis strange con duct It Is stated that some six weeks ago two of his children, of whom he waa very fond, died. THE GREAT HAIL STORM. Enormous Hailstones Falling like Nitw lakea-Wlaesprrad lUaster-The Tornado and the Ughtalug. A bail storm swept over the northeastern part of New Jfork on Mouoay, doing Berious damage. Some of the hailstones were nve inches In circumference and fell thick as snow flakes. ' Early in the moruinir of the same day a terrifio thunder storm visited Maine. Telegraph poles were shattered, and at Bucksport the telegrapa lustru meut was destroyed. At Providence, R. I., a thunder storm commenced PHILADELPHIA, AVEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1870. at 6 In the evening, and lasted until yesterdav morn ing. Buildings were struck and persons injured. In Greenville, Whipple fc Co.'s wheelwright shop was struck and destroyed by Are; loss, $10,ooo. The Are reached the store of Barnes tt Sprague, which was also destroyed ; loss, fXK. Along the Highlands, on the Hudson, the storm raged furiously. In one place the lightning struck the rock, splitting off an immense block, which was burled Into the river. In New Jersey several casualties occurred, but no loss of life is reported. In Boston and neighborhood the storm of rain, hall, and thunder was terrific Skylights and window-panes were demolished on all aides, and some buildings were struck by lightning. In the harbor a heavy squall drove several vessels from their moor ings, while the lightning damaged many others. THE CHEROKEE TREATY, The Enormous Sacrifices which tbe Red ill en have Made Tor the Make of Peace Uobblng the Indian to Enrich the .and-(rabbers. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs have again had .the Cherokee treaty under discussion. The treaty of 1868 was objected to by Secretary Cox, and many amendments were agreed upon between blm and the Cherokee delegates now here. The amended treaty as agreed upon was sent in to the Senate as it was originally, accompanied by a recita tion Of what they bave abandoned, as follows: Tub Govebnmknt op tub United States to the Chbkokek Nation, dk. For lands west of the 9bth degree west lon gitude, and south of the 87th degree north latitude, and estimated by the In terior Department In 1868 to embrace about 8l,(iuo,ouo acres, and lands iu Kan sas known as "Cherokee strip," and estimated by the said department In 1868 to embrace about 768,000 acres 13,500,000 For reservations of lauds In the State of Arkansas (7680 acres), and in the States of Alabama and Tennessee (100,000 acres), in all 107,680 acres (and referred to In the lsth article of our treaty of 1866) at f 1-25 per acre 134,000 For misapplied funds due the Cherokee Nation under treaties between the some ana the United States, aud ascertained to be due under the provisions of the 2.'d article of the treaty of 1866 between said Nation and the United States 1,200,000 Total amount 14,834,600 CR. By amount agreed to be paid by the I lilted Stales 3,600,000 Balance due f 1,334,600 The Cherokees say: "By our treaty we not only surrender this balance of i 1,331,600, but also the In crease in value of our 'strip' ol land in Kansas, which may be Barely calculated at f 1,000,000, as we bave been offered over this amouut for these lands thuB making from these two items alone 12,334,600 which we lose. Also, we make by the treaty an enormous sacrliice iu our lands west or the 96th de gree west longitude, and south of 87th deuree; for, should it be decided that our nation ougat to lose all of its lauds west of luu degrees or west longitude, because your Government has failed to comply with Its legal obligations in not Issuing to our nation a patent to these lauds, ana should your Govern ment thus take advantage of its own wrong toward us, then there woulu still lie left us bet wee u tbe looth auo Doth degree of west longitude about 9,216,000 acres or land, to which our nation has not merely an "Indian title," butabsolutely the title In fee ol your Government, secured by patent, wlilcn, at the Government price of 11.29 per acre, are worth f li,626,000. Deduct from this ibe f3,5oo,0oo we agree to take for these lauds, aud you gaia on us the sum of $8,01!6,000, wnlch, added to the 12,834,600 already relerred to as given up, makes the enormous aggre gate or $10,369.600sacilficed by the Cherokees for the sake of peace. Notwithstanding this showing, it is said the com mittee, on no other plea than economy, wish to amend the amended treaty by cutting It down a whole million of dollars. This the Cherokees will not agree to, but will ask permission to resume con trol ol their lands, rather than sacrifice them at the mere dictation or unscrnprKms power. The Government dues not herltate to give away to a single band or corporators land enougti to mAke three Slates as large as New York; yet It robs the Indians ol their poor remnants on pretext of pur chase, agreeing to give about one-tenth value for them, but never pays that, lted Cloud s opinion of white men has a solid foundation. ST. THOMAS. Formal Announcement to the People of the failure of the Annexation, Mcheuie Procla mation ol the Danish King. The following Is a translation of the proclama tion of the Danish King to the people of St. Thomas and St. Johns, announcing the failure ot the scheme to annex those Islands to the United States, through the relusal or the Senate to ratify the treaty sougut by tbe representatives of our Government: We, Christian IX, by the grace of God King of Den mark, the V anaals and the Goths, Duke of Sleswlck, lioibtein, btorniaru. Ditmarsuh, Laurenborg, and Oldeuborg, to our beloved and faithful subjects in tbe islands of St. Thomas and St. Johns our royal greeting! You are aware of the motives that actnated us at the time to give ear to tbe repeated and urgent requests of the North American Government for the cession of St. Thomas and St. Johns to the I nited States. We expected that we in that man ner should bave have1 been able to lighten our realm of the heavy burdens incurred by the then recently terminated war, and we hoped that the annexation to the United States would bave afforded tne Islands advantages so important that they conld have contributed to soothe the palu which a separation necessarily must cause In tbe coloi.les no less man in the mother country. You for your part, and the Danish Diet on the part of the kingdom, bave concurred in these views, and we all Diet in the mutual readiness to accommodate our selves to what appeared to us all to be recommended by the circumstances Unexpected obntacles have arisen to the realiza tion of this idea and released us from our pledged word. The American Senate bas not shown itself willing tj maintain the treaty made, although the initiative for it exclusively proceeded from the United States themselves. lieady as we were to Bubuue the feelings of our heart where we thought that duty bade ns so to do, yet we cannot otherwise than feel a satisfaction tnat circumstances have re lietedus from making a aacritlce which, notwith standing tbe advantages it held out, would always bave been very painful to us. We are convinced that jou share these sentiments, and that it lswl'h a lightened heart you are released from the consent, which only at our request you gave, to a separation of the islands from the Danish Crown. In then lore making known to yo j that the con vention made on the 24th or October, 1867, for the tession of the lsiauds of St, 1 nomas and St. Johns to the United States of America has become void, wa entertain i he firm belie' that our Government, supported by your on active endeavors, will suc ceed in promoting the interests of the islaids, and by degrees efface all remembrances of the mlafor tui es which or late years have bo sadiy befallen the islanda. To this end pray Almighty God to give ns Htrei gth and wisdom. Con.mendlna- you to Gd ! Given at onr palace of Amallenborg the 7th May, 1870, under our royal hand and teal. Christian It.

SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. Revenue Ketnrns in Pennsylvania. Cuban Business at tbe Capital. The Cincinnati Spring Races. Tax on Liquor and Tobacco. Financial and Commercial Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc., Etc. FROM WASHljyGTOJV. Increased Revenue Returns. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Washington, June 22. Commissioner De lano is in receipt of a communication from Supervisor Tutton, of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, dated Jane 21, in which he states that he is in receipt of a statement frem Asses sor Williams, of the Fifteenth District of Penn sylvania, frorn which it appears that the assess ments and collections made in that district for the year ending April 30, 1869, amounted to $360,017-03, and for the year ending April 30, 1870, $415,717-28, showing a gain in the latter year of $55,700-26, and while therj was this large increase of collections, there waa a de crease in the expense of assessment of $2,233-72. The Supervisor adds that in his opinion this is a most excellent showing for Mr. Williams' first yeaiyj administration of the Assessor's Oulce. The Unban Question. General Pickett, who has figured in connec tion with the Cuban cause and in Butler's Cuban bond investigation, is out in a card to-day, deny ing all the statements in the so-called affidavit of N. B. Taylor. He pronounces Taylor a first class liar and swindler, and produces affidavits to show that Taylor i a man who cannot be believed even nnder oath. With regard to influ encing members of Congress, Pickett says of Taylor: "I forbade his telling me how and through whom he was to bring about a recognition of belligerent rights, and though of rather gushing disposition be never did that. I cannot recall or mention names of more than two ofllclals In connection with the sub ject. Neither nid he Introduce the name of more than one member of Congress,a distinguished gentle men from Massachusetts, tbe Initials of whose name are B Djamln Franklin Butler. Ue said this gentle man bad offered to put the Cuban business through Congress for fsoo.ooo cash, and that if we didn't employ blm the other side would. 1 replied that mv opinion or General Butler's lorty and unspotted character and unimpeachable Integrity was such that I was sure he iTaylor) waa mistaken, and so declined to negotiate." ' Important Decision. Commissioner Delano yesterday made the fol lowing decision: "In deference to the decision of some of the United States District Courts, the word gallon as used in that part of the act of April 10, 1869, defining wholesale and retail liquor dealers, shall hereafter be construed as meaning wine gallons, whether applied to dis tilled spirits, wine, or malt liquors. Therefore wholesale liquor dealers will be limited In their sales to quantities of not less than five wine gal lons, regardless of the proof of the spirits sold." A Wise Provision. Despatch to the Astociated Pres$. The Secretary of the Treasury this morning issued an order stating that the recent loss of $20,000 afforded a fit opportunity to make and enforce a rule by which all persons not members of Congress or of the administration shall be excluded from the rooms in which money is re ceived, assorted or kept except on written per mission of the Secretary of the Treasury. Chiefs of money divisions are directed to en force this rule.

Mr. Brooks, of New Tork, a member of the Committee of Ways and Means, authorizes the statement that that com mittee has resolved to report no bill or amend ment at this session of Congress in relation to whisky, tobacco, or fermented liquors.

It reduced the number of officers, cierks, buu employes of the department proportionately to the reduction of taxes contemplated by the bill passed by the House and now before the Senate, or about one third.

New Brunswick, June 21 Rutgers to-day cele brates her looi h birthday. A most Interesting as semblage filled the college campus this morning. Old alumni were as jovial as boys, old chums nearly shook each other's arms off, and all seemed rejoiced to be able to visit once more their Alma Mater, and meet the old friends of their college days. The great feature of the day was the historical address of Juoge Bradley, which was delivered in the First Reformed Church to a large and attentive audience. There were present on the platform, Governor Randolph presiding, the following distin guished gentlemen : Chancellor Halstead, H. U. Kelsey. Secretary of State ; the Hon. Amos Robblns, Colonel Murphy, W. R. McMichael, State Trea surer; ex-Oovernora Newell, Ward, and Price; Adjutant-General Stockton, Proiessor Hart, Gene rals Simpson, Kunyon, Perrine, Appleby, De Hart, and Plunie, and Dr. McCosh, or Princeton. Around the church hung portraits of many of the prominent men of Rutgers College and the Reformed Church. Tbe centenary meeting or tbe alumni aud friends of tbe college was called to order by President Pruyn at 8-45 P. M. Dr. Campbell said that this afternoon the college enters upon its second century oi labor. On the 12th of last March he was appoluted "chief beggar" for the college, and the work had begun last year at dinner-time, when Mr. Abraham Voorhees an nounced that be would give $10,000 to the college. Dr. Campbell read the subscriptions, as follows: Twelve subscriptions of loooo foo ooo One subscription or 2600 a' 500 Twenty subscriptions or flOOO 20.000 Middle Dutch Church, Albany 1,250 Several scholarships, each. 1,000 R. U. Pruyn's sons. 1,000 Fourteen subscriptions or 11000 each 14 000 Five subscriptions of t&OO each 2,600 Total 195,250 Of this 136,000 bad been subscribed by alumni, and the remaining 160,000 were obtained from nine per sons, in one week, with but little solicitation. This Bum, including tbe sum contributed la-t year, made a total of 1105,000 increase in the funds of the col lege. In lu40 the college tad been unable to py the President's salary, and a committee had to be ap poluted to raise the funds lor It. He contrasted this Btate or affairs with lb present. Six years ago f 137,000 had been raised for the college, and to-day 1 105,000 had been reported, making a total of 1442,000 In thirty years after the time when they bad been unable to pay the President's aalary. The Alumni were now called upon to make reports of their work. Prof. Doolittle or the Class or '69 stated that his class had raised f 2000, and pledged $600 more. The Rev. J. S. Johnson, of the Class of "38, re ported that that class had succeeded in obtaining loooo, aud hoped to do more. Dr. Mauley of the Class of '44 reported lll.ooo as his class contribu tion. This, however, bad already beeu read from Dr. Campbell's books. Dr. Gause, or New York, took the opportunity to make a humorous and effective speech to call forth aid. The college choir then diversified the financial cal culations with "Integer Vitas." Sheriff Voorhees then resumed tbe proceedings by pledging the Six-Mile Rua Church to tbe amount of Slot. General Sharp of '47 suggested that sufficient time had not been allowed for the collection of subscrip tions, to which Dr. Campbell replied that the cen tennial celebration did not end until next com mencement. Colonel Herbert of '57 stated that tbe class bad one subscriber on the books to the amount ol (5000, and who had pledged the class for tio.ooo. The class of '83 reported the Bum of $700 as raised, and expected to make It llooo. Dr. fctryker or Philadelphia reported that three roemtterB or the Class of '45 bad met, and that $10,000 bad been given. The Class of '54 had but four re presentatives, who pledged themselves for the sum of $3000. The ('lass or 52 pledged themselves to the amount or $icoo, and the Clas or '64 did the same. 'I he Uatts of (4 reported with the hope or afterwards making it $200-60. The entfre sum re ported during the day will not fall short of $150,000. The Hon. Robert 11. Pruyn then offered $10,000 to fonnd a fellowship or a cot rue of lectures, which ever the College pleased. Dr. Campbell chose the fellowship, but urged the Alumni to found the course of lectures. The thanks of the Alumni were presented to Judge Bradley for his address, 8,000 copies of wblch were ordered to be printed. After a few short addresses and singing, the meeting closed With the benediction. LTJOAL inTSLLIQUrrcE. Homicides. ' Cburt of Oyer and lerminer Judges Ludlow and Paxeon, This morning the Court sat with a view to begin ning the trial of homicide cases, but finding none rrady for trial, simply arraigned John Doris and John Weaver ror the murder of Fanny Weaver, and adjourned until to-morrow. The Pension Office Embezzlement. Court of Quarter Ben Urn Judge Ludlow. The trial of George B. Thatcher for the embezzle ment of $300 from the United States Pension Office No. 718 Sansom street resulted In a verdict or guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, and the young man was sentenced to fifteen months In the County Prison and the payment of $325 fine. West Philadelphia Burglary. This morning the court took up the case of the young men, James Youug, John Dougherty, Michael McTegue, and Wdllani MoTague, charged with burglary, committed at the residence of Zophaei C. Ilowcll, Forty-afth and Chesnut streets, on tbe night or May 8. This Is the case in which, arier the rendi tion of a verdict of guilty last week, the court granted a new trial because tt was discovered that pending the trial one of the jurors had held a pri vate conversaticn with the prosecutor concerning a knife that had been found upon one of the pri soners. To-day's proceeding is the new trial. The offend ing juror, who it an Itinerant match-merchant, sits In the front of the dock with his basket of matches at his Bide, listening intently to the details, which he before heard under different circumstances, and anxiously awaiting the Issue, because a flue of $250, which he has not paid, Is perhaps Intimately con nected with this result. The evidence given to-day is prcct-ely the same as that on the former occasion, to ihe effect that the bouse was entered and robbed In the niirtit time, and silver-ware and other articles stolen rrom there were found by tbe detectives In the prisoners' possession. On trial. FlIVAIVCI AWD COMJlEttCBs Etkhino TsLKOBAra Ornea,? Wednesday, Jane 23. 1870. In the local money market there is an ample supply of funds, far in excess of present wants, the result being a depressed tone in the rates for money. The cutllow of money westward is ap parently less active, and the market is emphati cally dull. On call advances are made ty the banks on good collaterals at 34 per cent., at which figures the brokers are llburally supplied, but the demand from this quarter is very light. First-class mercantile paper is iu sparse supply, and all offerings are promptly taken np at 5(0 per cent, for 30a60 days, and at 6 per cent, for longer periods. Gold continues very quiet and with slight changes in the premium. All the sales were made, up to noon, at 112(S)lVi. . , Governments are also dull, but prices show a slight advance on most of the series. The cur rency tis are flightly off. Stocks were decidedly dull this morning, but we perceive no change in prices worth noticing. The State war loan sold at 105J. City securi ties were steady without sales. Sales of LebJo-h Gold Loan at 89, ex-int. . In Reading Railroad there were small sales at 53; Pennsylvania at 58; Camden and Amboy at 118J; Northern Central at 45; Minehill at 54; and Oil Creen aud Allegheny at 47. 29 was bid for Philadelphia and Erie, and 28 for Catawissa preferred.
