THE MORGUE. It la Turned Over to the City The Coroner na Yet haa no Official Knowledge ot Ita Ex tntvnce. '1 he Institution at Beach and Noble streets known as the Morgue, where the unknown dead may have the chance of recognition,' has at last been com pleted, and has been turned over to the pos session of the city. This affair was done quietly, nobody excepting members of Councils and some of tho heads of departments knowing ol the event. Indeed, the one most Interested In ttie Morgue Coroner Taylor was not invited to participate in the ceremony, and up to this time that officer has no ofllelal knowledge of Its existence. The question of the necessity of such a building tins been agitated for some years, and it was not until 1967 that Coun cils took any action. A resolution was then intro duced In Select Council, authorizing the appoint ment of a Joint special committee of three from each chamber to attend to the details of its erection. The resolution wns also very explanatory of the use and benefit of a Morgue. The coinmitteee was appointed, and the site recommended for its erection was at the corner of Brown stieet and Corinthian avenue, in the rear of the Eastern Penitentiary. The ordinance to build the Morgue passed Select Council, but in the other chamber it was referred to the Committee on Finance. The project would have ended in smoke had not the Committee on City Property, In making op their budget of appropriations last year, Inserted one of fsono for carrying it out. In May last proposals were received for the erec tion of the Morgue at Heacn and Noble streets, the Bite first selected having been abanduued. Upon opening the proposals it was discovered that Gaurge . Mccu'.lough, Esq., was the lowest bidder $7931. To him the contract was awarded. The structure Is very plain, with a front of pressed brick on Noble street. The superintendent will reside in the building, to be ready at all times to receive bodies and place them within the Morgue proper. There is an entrance-hall and receptiou mom for visitors. The Morgue pioper is provided with four stone slabs, upon which the bodies are to be placed. When a corpse is recognized it will be removed to another apartment, provided with but one slab. Upon each body water will constantly trickle. In the second story the Coroner is provided with two rooms, one in which to hold inquests and the other as an office. There has been a telegraphic instrument placed In the building, which will conneot thn Coroner's office with all the police stations in the city. The Morgue Is now ready for occupancy, but the Coronor cannot take possession until It is regularly turned over to him by the Commissioner ofClty Property. The Eclipse Expedition A nortion of the Ame rican expedition fitted out for the purpose of mak ing observations on the December eclipse will sail on Thursdaj of this week for Gibraltar, 8patn, by way of Liverpool, England. They go In the steam ship Abyssinia from New York. Another portion of the same party sailed on the 13th of last month for Ulclly. This was accompanied by Benjamin Pierce, Superintendent of the Coast Survey. The present party, on its arrival at its destina tion, will break up into small bodies, who will scat ter and station themselves at different points within a radius of one hundred miles, for the purpose of observation. The party sailing on Thursday includes Joseph Wlnlock, Professor of Astronomy at Har vard ; Professor C. A. Young, of Dartmouth, who has charge of the spectroscopic observations, of which subject he haa made a spectal study; Pro fessor Pickering, of Boston, and a party of scien tific geuuemen from the Washington Observatory. The only Pittiadelphlana in the party are Messrs. Wllllard and Mahonev, who have charge of the photographing, and who expect to make several separate negatives during the totality itself. This will reqnire very quick and skilful operating and very delicate apparatus. The entire apparatus taken out, photographic and otherwise, is of the finest t.nd most perfect description. "Mental Dyspepsia" Is the subject of Rev. Dr. Willlta' lecture in West Arch Street Church. Eigh teenth and Arch streets, this evening. To aid di gestion there will be some very hue music on the occasion from distinguished amateurs. Home time ago Dr. Willlta visited one or the cities of New Jersey for the purpose of delivering this lecture, and he was called upon by a man who had auifered from dyspepsia for some thirty years. The stranger expressed the utmost satisfaction at the meeting, minutely detailed his symptoms and Bufferings, and told the Doctor he had ea'led to set him to ore scribe for his complaint. The Doctor did so, and his paueni nepsrieu uigQiy uengntea wun tun interview and mode of treatment, passing through the same place months afterwards, the Doctor met his enthu siastic patient and was Informed that his treatment bad effected a cure. Those who suffer from dys pepsia had better go to Weat Arch early this even ing. In this case the remedy is much better than the disease. The "Stab" Course of LEcrritES.

Tub Twelfth and Sixteenth Streets Rail way. This morning the Tenth and Eleventh Streets Passenger Railway Company commenced running their cars on the Twelfth street track recently laid by that corporation. It will he remembered that a charter was obtained at the last Legislature orga nizing a company under the name of the Empire Passenger Railway Company, with the right to lay tracks on Twelfth and Sixteenth streets For some reason the company failed to complete the line, and the stock was subsequently purchased by the Tenth and Eleventh and Seventeenth aud Nineteenth Streets Roads, the former securing the right to run their cars down Twelfth street, aud tho latter ob taining the use of Sixteenth street, on which a track is shortly to be laid. The Tenth and Eleventh Streets line run as usual on Tenth and Eleventh streets, and the cars running down Twelrth go up Eleventh stieet. By this arrangement extra cirs are placed on the Eleventh street track to accommodate the immense travel north. The time tables of the Hue have been changed, and the ctrs are now run on much shorter time. The Twelfth street cars this morning appeared to be well patronized. A Cowhidino Affair One Lawyer Uses a Whip Oyer Another. There was quite a flutter this morning among the members of the bar about a cowhidiug which was alleged to have transpired yesterday afternoon in a lawyer's oillce on Fifth Btreet, below Walnut. The parties are practising attorneys, and th) little difficulty Is said to have arisen lrom an argument wnlch was had a few d ivs ago in the Court of Quarter Sesslous, during whlci some inelegant language was used by oue of the counsel. The parties aggrieved determined on sum mary vengeance. One of them met the offender yesterday in front of the Post Oillce aud slapped him In the face. He, however, took no notion of this airront, and later In the day another purchase! a cowhide and repaired to the oillce of the offender on Filth Btreet. where, after giving him the lie, pro ceeded to work with his weapon, and dusted tho oillce coat quite lively. An oillce boy aud a col league of the cowhlded Individual set upon the cow hider and compelled him to beat a hasty retreat. It is rumored that a suit for assault and battery will be instituted.

Tmt Coal Trape of toe Fennryltania Canal We have received from the President of the Penn. sylvauia Canal Company the follewlDg commnnlca- uou To thr Editor of the Kveniiyt Tele-graph. Pennsylvania Canal Company. Oct. 31. 1370 In the article headed '-The Coal Trade," published in your Saturday's issne, you furnish a table of the anthracite tonnage of lss9 and 1870, attributed to tne Miner journal, wnicn gives a ridlculouslv Talaa return of the anthracite tonnage or this company. Our October tonnage is not yet made np, but the anthracite tonnage on the Pennsylvania canal down to the 80th or September, inclusive, was as follows in tne years reierred to, viz. : in 1RR9 306,263 gross tons. In 1670 819,613 . Increase in 1870 13,260 " At least an equal, and probably a much greater rate ot Increase has been maintained dunnc the current month of October. Your table makes our anthracite tonnage to date. during 1870, as 14,582 tons, which Is rather less tnan our average wet kip ton naif e in that article.

The English despatch recommending the holding of elections for members of the Constituent Assembly imme diately has reached the Prussian headquarters. The Prussian authorities had already sent a similar suggestion to Paris. The proposition of the Prussians for an armistice of forty-eight hours, in order to facilitate the elections, was instantly rejected by the Paris Government. It is said that the advice of Influential Americans hastened the French rejection. Gambetta left Paris expressly to prevent the elections. An Interview between Count Chambord and Coant de Paris is to take place at Coppes. FROM NEW YORK. Drntrucllve Fire. Dover, N. Y., Nov. 1. The large shoe manu factory of John C. Goodwin & Co. waj dis covered to be on fire at 2 o'clock this rooming. The' building was consumed, together with its contents, and the flames extended to the smaller shoe factory belonging to the same firm, and thence to the old Catholic Church and building occupied by C. E. & 8. C. Hayes, and finally to the new Catholic Church in course of erection and priest's residence, all of which were de stroyed. A high wind prevailed, and flakes of fire were carried a long distance, setting the roofs of neighboring buildings in a blaze.

Exit Bourbakl. TotRS, Nov. 1 It is reported here to-day that General Bonrbakl has resigned the com mand of the Army of the North. Notwithstand ing bis patriotic proclamation just issued to the soldiers at Lille, he found it impossible to stem the current of ill-favor which had been shown him by the people of various towns in the north of France since the capitulation of Bazaine. It Is openly asserted that Bourbakl himself knew of Bazalne's plan to surrender, and indeed was a party to it, and only left Metz in advance to avoid the execration of his fellow-citizens, which he knew would be visited upon those who were responsible for surrendering to the enemy the key of France, and the Moniteur to day announces that no despatch has yet been received showing that the Prussians have occu pied the city of Metz. The reports that the French troops are still at Metz, and refuse to be bound by Bazalne's capitulation, continue to circulate here. The Condition of Parle. Deepatches by the underground route have been received here from Paris up to Thursday, October 27. The city is well supplied with vegetables of all kinds. Fresh meat Is regularly served to the soldiers and people. The best feeling prevails, and there is no opposition to the sentiment that the war must be carried on till Prussia proposes terms of peace that are at least honorable. Every night the Prussians, covered by darkness, attempt to construct a bridge across the 8elne, and every morning the fire from tne forts demolishes their structure. The accuracy of the gunners is commended by all, friend and foe. Preparntlona at Lyona. Advices from Lyons show that preparations to resist attack are by no means abated.
