TUB iUlL- EVENING TELEGRAPH I'H J LA DELPHI A, MOiN DAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1870.
CltV in IBLLI UBilCU.
A Bktteh SrpruY or V'atir Many y.rs ago
the Fatrroo'unt Water Works were ronml Incapable
of supplying the cltlxens residing at Twep.tysecond
and Orecn street and the adjacemt neighborhood
wttb a in Indent supply or the aqueous fluid, aol to
remedy the evil ta Spring Uardta. works were con
structed. These works worked well, bnt they were
found oneqaal to the tank assigned to them.
Tb remedy this growing dlfllciilty, a devloe was
recently adopted by which water from t he west ban
of the river could be conveyed to this Rldo of the
Schuylkill without Interfering with the navigation
of that important stream. Several plans were aug
mented, hut the best was that proposed by Mr. Ben
jamin Tlllnon, Jr., who undertook to lay a 80-lnch
pipe from the Belmont works, under the water, and
upon the bed of the river, to connect with thoae of
the Spring Garden works. Many scientific doubters
predicted a failure 19 this undertaking, but Mr. Tlll
non has overthrown their reasoning, and proved his
own. The task was a serious one. The river hd
to be sounded, and the observations of the gentle
man in trio diving-bell proved that the bottom of
the river was very Irregular, and the enterprise dif
flcnlt. Notwithstanding these obstacles the contractor
went to work wlt'i zeal and courage, and, by the aid
of steam, and nil the appurtenances which skilful
mechanics of this ngo and city employ, his suc
ceeded in laying the pipes across the river In a way
which cannt fail to be satisfactory to tho people
residing In the elevated regions of the Fifteenth and
Twentieth wards.
To-day will witness the completion of the laving
ci these pipes from the Belmont works, in the West
l ark, to the eastern shore.
CoiiONKK'B Inqvkst. coroner Tny lor commenced
tin investigation at noon to-day, In the case of Rlch
nrd Pettercr, who was killed on Friday night at the
Orthodox street cronslng, Twenty-third ward, of the
Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad Company. There
whs a conflict of testimony, the ratlroal employes
testifying that the rennlar signal was given, and the
frit una of the deceased testifying that they heard no
whistle. It seemed to be admitted on both Bides
that the train whs moving at a speed of from fifteen
to twenty miles an hour. It was also in testimony
thfct the ergine had passed the deceased, and that
lie had bf en struck by tho tender, which extends
about a foot beyond the engine. The Coroner de
cided to hold the case under advisement.
hubpeonentlv the jury rendered the following ver
dict : "That the said Richard Detterer came to his
lei:th bv being struck by a tender attached to loco
motive No. 90. of the Philadelphia and Trenton and
New York Railroad, at tho crossing at Orthodox
street, on Friday evening, tho 25th instant. The
jury are of the opinion that the company deserve
the severest, cenhure for the gross negligence In
failing to place a flagman at the crossing and for the
grest rate of speed at which the trains pass that
point."
An IiiroKTANT Lunacy C ase. Some time ago the
court proceedings were much enlivened by the pro
ceedings in an application for a declaration that a
prominent young member of the bar was a lunatic.
The case was known on the record as Com. ex rel.
vs. Cheyney. It was before Judge A 1 lino a, In the
Court of Common Pleas, a few days ago. Judge
HrewKter, appearing of counsel tor respondent,
upon his tiling a traverse to tho finding of tho Imiul
pition de lunatwo, declaring respondent insane, Theo.
MscFadden, Walilron J. Cheyney, and Henry G.
Smith, Esqs., tcstilied that respondent was of sound
mind, and capable of transacting business, and of
taking proper care of himself at and before the
finding of the inquisition. Judge Allison charged
the jury to liud in accordance with the testimony
given, and a verdict was rendered for respondent by
the jury without leaving tho box, thereby making
null Rnd void the said Inquisition and finding, vindi
cating the respondent, Frank II. Cheyney, and re
storing him to his legal rights and privileges.
Faik in IIeqai.p of Abl'seo Animals The Penn
sylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, In order to collect the necessary funds to
carry on the benevolent work which they have
undertaken, announce a fair to commence at Horti
cultural Hall this (Monday) evening and continue for
t wo weeks. There Is much to render this Fair one
of the most popular tver held ta Philadelphia. The
gentlemen at Hie head of it, numbering such men as
lion. Alexander Henry, Hon. Daniel M. Fox, Gen.
Gvorgo (i. Meade, General G. II. Crosman, Hon.
A. E.'Borto, and others, and a number of the Urst
ladies of Philadelphia, and tne high-toned princi
ples upon which the Fair is to he conducted, the
splendid character of It in tho extent and variety of
the display, no less than the worthy ooject In behalf
of which it is given, all conspire to make it a popu
lar resort for our citizens during Its continuance.
A Colored Candidate. The colored Republicans
ol the First Senatorial district ask that one of their
people be placed in nomination for the position ren
dered vacant by the death of William W. Watt, and
they announce Octavtus V. Catto as their choice
lor a candidate. Their request will be formally com
municated to the Republican City Executive Com
mute. At the meeting where Mr. Catto wa se
lected a preamble and series of resolutions were
adopted. Among the latter was the following:
Jtcsolced, That, as In olden times, tho mighty In
power were pulled down and the weak were made
Htrong, so do we now recognize the same great
principle, ami therefore we deem It right and pro
per that we should be represented In high places,
and not merely be used as hewers of wood and
uiawers of water.
The Republican Invinciblbs On Saturday
evening a meeting of the Republican Invlncibles
was held to take action on the report of the commit
tee appointed in April last to revise the Constitu
tion for ttie government of the organization. Ezra
Lukens, President of the Club, was In the chair, and
II. C. Hawkins, was the Secretary. The chairman of
the committee, William J. Uillingham, submitted a
draft of the Constitution agreed on by the commit
tee, which was adopted. Tae most Important provi
sion embodied In it is one requiring the registry of
all members of the organization at least three days
prior to the election of the oillcers of '.He club, thus
precluding the possibility of any participation by
those who do not belong to the club, as has hereto,
fore been the case, and no doubt all dissensions In
the club are now ended.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. 2$.
Bpecial Dtepatch to The h'emina Tt'tyrupU.
IvMlinntra for I lie Nxt Year
are being prepared, arid n ooo as completed
will probably be sent to Mr. Dawes, Chairman
of Appropriations, who has made a request to
that effect, as he cannot reach bare before Tues
day next. They will be considerably In excess
of last year, ns there are no unexpended
balances. Notwithstanding the fact that the
Commleeioner of Internal Hvnne has recom
mended in his report that the tax on whisky
remain unchanged, a strong combination will be
made to have the lax increased by Western
whisky men.'
The iHcrtlna of Concrrst.
In regard to the repeal of tho law for the
mectirjg of Congress on the 4th of March it may
be stated that tho present oQicers of the Houe
are anxious that the law shall remain as It Is,
and that the House Bhall be organized on the
4th of March. Mr. Sargent, of California, will
press the bill introduced by him at tho last ses
sion repealing tho law.
The Joroin Tn.
It Is not probable that any effort will be made
to repeal the income tax at the next session, as
the Secretary ot the Treasury and the Commis
sioner of Revenue are in favor of its retention.
It was agitated at the last sesblon principally for
political effect. Now that tho elections are
over it Is not likely that it will be repealed.
Han Domingo.
It is not believed here that the Prussian Cwov-
ernment has made any serious proposition to
purchase San Domingo as a coaling station.
The statement has probably been made In order
to strengthen the movement here in favor of
our acquisition of the inland.

The Appointment of Guardians.
OrpluuuS Court Judge Paxson.
An Important decision has been made in the Or
phans' court relative to tne appointment cr guar
dians, in an opinion delivered by j udge l'assnn.
in tne urpnans' court on Saturday last a petition
was presented, asking the appointment or a corpo
ration as guardian ot minor children, without giv
ing security. The charter or the company, as does
that of several other corporations, authorizes this
court to make such appointments without requiring
security, y e say autnorizea, lor it is lert uiscre-
nonary with the court, me numneror these ap
plications has much Increased of late, as has
also the number of corporations asking this
privilege; and it la becoming a serious Question
how far we shall go In this direction. Experience
has shown that corporations engaged in business
are as likely to fall as individuals. It is true that
if they keep the trust funds Invested separate and
apart, nnd properly ear-marked, the latter would be
protectee in case or sucn rauure. uut tne same re
mark would apply with equal force to In livid nU.
It is the duty of every trustee to keep trust moneys
separate from his own estate. Yt we have never
regarded this as a sultlcleut safeguard la the case of
private trustees no matter what their standing or
responsibility, but inflexibly require security from
the latter.
We do not feel dlsposod to encourage applications
of this nature, and while we will make thd appoint
ment In the particular Instance referred to, we wish
it understood that we reserve ttie right at all times
to decide npon each particular application upon its
own merits, having regard to the amount and char
acter or tne truut.
We also feel it iinumbent upon ns, as far a we
can, to threw all the safeguard in our power
around Investments made under such appointments.
we have already ordered, that when securities are
transferred to auy corporation as trustee or guar
dian, they shall not be thereafter transferred with
out the order of this court, and that such order
sha'l be stamped upon the face of said securities. In
addition thereto, we now order:
Flrft. That In all cases where any corporation
shall hereafter be appointed trutes or guardiaa by
this court, it shall be npon couditlon that such cor
poration shall not invent any of the trust-funds In
coupon bonds, or other securities that pass by de
livery. Second. Every such corporation shall be required
to invest all trust-funds in its name as trustee or
guardian, us the case may be, and to keep tho samo
sepniata and apart from Its own funds.
At a proper time we shall make such further order
as will enable cs to see at least onco In each year
whether the above rifles are complied with.
It will be understood that the above views have
not been surtrested in reference to any particular
company. They are general, and are intended to
apply to an corporations in whose behalf such appli
cations are muue.
A Utile l'ne.

Michael McLaughlin was this morning put on trial
In tins Court for the ( ffeuse of retailing Mquor In a
small way in Delaware county without a license.

I'littheact of Congress has thrown the balanne In

fact and snraclet't to warrant a con

. of evidence which both Government and citizen are
rnually tmal.ln to produce. Instead of leaving a
natural presumpifou that arises from a certain state
of facts to the consideration of the Jury, to receive
the weight that It is entitled to under the common
law of criminal proceedings, the act of Congress
converts that precumpt.ion Into positive evidence,
to be riiet only tv such evidence as that for which
this presumption was substituted. These qiiestion

A special session of Oyer and Terminer to con-
tliiue this week was begun to-day. The purpose Is
to dispose of several nid prison cases of homlutde,
which most In; tried this weeR, else the defendants
will bo entitled to their discharge under the four
term rule. It was expected by some persons that
tfie case of Dr. Neville would be tried this month ;
bnt this in the present state of the buslnesss of
this court could not be done, for the
Indictment In Lis case was found only this term,
nnd there are several cases In which the dufendants,
who are without means or friends, have been lying
In prison for Beveral months, and they must now l
tried. The great length of the Hanlon case also
Impeded the regular course of business, and the
difierent engagements of Judges In hearing other
cases of Importance have rendered It Impossible to
give more attention to the homicide calendar. Moat
