CHESNUT HILlT
Opening of t hrlntlan Library nail.
Yesterday Cbristiau Library Hall, at Chesnut
Hill, was opened for the first time for public
inspection. Tbe Ilnllwhlch is the munificent
gilt of Henry J. Williams, Esq., to the citizens
of that borough, is a neatstructure, two stories
high, and built somewhat in the- shape of the
letter "T." It Is constructed of Chesnut Hill
building stone, and dressed with Trenton brown
si one. The lot upon which It stands is 78x200.
Tbe main entrance opens into a spacious vesti
bule, upon each side of which stairs wind up
ward. Upon the first floor are two communi
cating rooms, each 34x25 feet in dimension.
The stairs upon either side of tbe vestibule lead
to the lecture-room. This apartment is of tho
size of tbe two lower rooms. The settees
placed therein furnish comfortable seating
capacity for an audience of two hundred. It is
lighted by ten bronze brackets, with twenty
jets. The lecture-room occupies the entire
second story. Cocoa matting covers the stairs
and each of the apartments. Of the two rooms
upon the first floor, one is used as a library aud
reading-room, and tbe other as a room for
games aud conversation. Au extension-table,
with a neat cover, occupies the centre of the
first room. This, as are also numerous side
tables, is covered with a profusion of maga
zines and all the popular periodicals of the day.
The library at present contains about two thou
sand volumes, all new, the gift of the founder
and supporter of the institution. To this de
partment large additions are to be made.
Everything about the place has a neat appear
ance of newness.
Last evening Judge M. Russell Thayer de
livered tbe opening address before a large
assemblage.
Froze up in the Delaware Bridge Con
btruction Brought to a Stand-still. Tho
contractor of tbe South Street Bridge Is actively
eDgaged in preparing tor operations on the new
etruciure as soon as spriug opens. It was his
Intention to have commenced the work on the
pivot pier which is to rise from tbe centre of the
Schuylkill, and as an earnest of this intention a
Dumber of scows and a tug, to be used in sink
ing the cast-iron cylinders, were brought from
Baltimore. Unfortunately for the further pro
gress of tbe work, just as they had been
temporarily moored in the Delaware, the cold
snap came on, froze them in, and covered tbe
Schuylkill with a thick coat of ice, thus
effectually barring all efforts to sink the new
pier. The stone, however, Is being prepared
for the foundations, the carpenter work is
rapidly progressing, and tbe immense iron pipes
wnicn are to upnoia trie a raw are already cast.
When tbe weather moderates operations will be
pushed forward briskly by the contractor.
Work of the Woman'b Christian Associa
tion. This afternoon the first quarterly meet
ing of the newly established Women's Christian
Association is 'to be held at the rooms of the
Y. M. C. A., No. 1210 Chesnut street. Its pur
pose, and which commends it forcibly to the
philanthropic portion of our community, is to
provide homes for the working girls. But its
Corresponding Secretary describes Its objects
more definitely as follows:
"Our design Is to secure a house at once, to
furnish It, open the doors to the most needy,
provide them comfortable board and lodglutr, at
a rate they can afford to pay, and then to look,
to the wealthy merchants to whom your appeal
was addressed to sustain us."
One of our banevolent merchants has pro
mised the association $ 5000 as 60ou as it secures
an additional f 20,000. This noble effort should
not want of success from lack of gederous aid
from tbe publjc.'

Fire at the Eastwick Park. About half
past 1 o'clock this morning the greater portion
of the one-story frame building on the Eastwick
Park skating grounds was destroyed by fire.
Tbe building was used as a restaurant, reception
rooms, etc. The Qremeu succeeded in saving a
portion of the structure. The loss Is estimated
at about three thousand dollars. The origin of
the fire is not known. Some believe it to have
originated from a stove, while the watchman
attributes It to the work of an incendiary. Fire

A 11 me for the OM and Infirm It Animal
OTrttlnff-Tbe fflstser of tbe House 110
Year mt Aae.
At No. 840 South Front street stands au
unpretending charity which deserves the gen
erous aid of a benevolent public. It Is " The
Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons."
tbe object of Us establishment being, as We
learn from tho charter, "the relief of that
worthy class of colored persons who hve
endeavored through life to maintain thenisolvea,
but from various causes are finally dependeut
upon the charity of others," It was founded
without ostentation, and entered upon a field
of charity hitherto deserted, under the liberal
support of a generous elass
"Who do good by stealth,
And blush to llnd It fame."
To-day the annual meeting was held, and at it
Dillwvn Parrlsh, Presldcm, Stephen Smith,
Vice-President, Samuel K. Shipley, Treasurer,
and Joseph M. Truman, Secretary, were re
elected. During the past year there were
twenty-nine aged and decrepit women cared
for, three of whom, whoso ageS were respec
tively sixty, seventy-five, and eighty years,
died. On the list of applicants for admission
are the names of about fifty aged women, but
no relief could be offered tbem until the accom
modations of the Home could, to a considerable
degree, be amplified. A number of these (one
of whom Is nearly blind) have been on the list
for three years, and some, from abject destitu
tion, have been forced to go the Almshouse.
One of tho inmates, Sarah Bayuard, has
reached the venerable age of one hundred and
ten years, and from this fact, with great pro
priety, is called the mother of the house. Sh
was born in Milford, Maryland; was more than
three-score years a slave; and to the patient
listener tells of many things that happened
before and during the Revolution. The next,
in point of age, is Mary Edwards, a native of
Africa, and who has just attained five-score
years. The ages of the rest ascend upwards
from sixty years. It Is related of one that when
tie terrible fire of the Patterson Warehouses
occurred, and when the inhabitants for squares
about were making ready to hastily depart
should tbe devastating element approach their
houses, which seemed every moment certain,
she kept her bed, and when asked to come down
said: "Well, I will If you want me to; but I've
gone to bed, and offered np my prayer, and I'm
sure not a hair of our heads will be injured."
Mr. Stephen Smith some time ago presented
to the Home a valuable lot near Belmont and
Girard avenues, as a site for a new and commo
dious building, which, we are pleased to learn,
will be completed by the 1st of May. It will
cost 132,000, and will accommodate at least 150
persons; and thus, if the humane efforts of the
managers are seconded by a kind public, their
means for rendering aid to these destitute and
decrepit people will be greatly augmented.

Joseph Campbell, Democratic member elect
from the Seventeenth Legislative district, died
at half-past 5 o'clock this morning, of consump
tion, at his residence on Sellers street, Frank
lord. Mr. Campbell was elected at the Ust
general election by a majority of about 800
votes over Watson Comly, tbe Republican can
didate. The Seventeenth district is strongly
Republican, but in consequence of some dissat
isfaction in the ranks of that party, and through
the great popularity and well known character
of the Democratic candidate, Mr. Campbell was
chosen to represent tbe district in the Legisla
ture. Deceased was said to be a very amiable
gertleman, and was highly respected by the
residents of Frankford. He atone time held a

Another Store Robbery. Plate-glass

tlousof thieves. Recently a number of large
panes In store windows have been broken by
throwing a stone against tbem, and in many
instances, notwithstanding the nolso made bv

be reached through tbe aperture were removed.
Last night a pane of glass in tho eastern win
dow of tbe tailoring establishment of Charles
8tokes & Co., Chesnut street, below Ninth, was

The Nomination of Indian Agents A Letter
front the Aaeot of the American Church iUIb
elonary Mociety.
Some days ago we published a communication
from William Welsh, Ksq., which called for the
publication of the endorsement to the nomina
tion of Colonel Percy B. Spear for tbe position
of Indian Agent. The following letter to the
Secretary of the Interior from the agent of the
American Church Missionary Society throws a
small ray of light upon the subject, and tends
to confirm the opinion advanced some time ago
in our columns, tbat the appointmeut of Indian
agents at the recommendation of churches and
religious societies opened a new door for abuses
of tbe worst k'nd, as all past experiences tend
to show that the most disreputable characters
can obtain such recommendations without clilli
culty if they go the right way about it. It may
well be asked by the readers ot tbo following
letter what right had the officers of the Ameri
can Church Missionary Society to endorse Colo
nel Spear, unless they personally know some
thing of his character, especially when the'
were aware that the Prerideut expected tbem to
aid him In bringing about a great reform, and
relied upon tbem to nominate honest mei or
none at all ?
Kooms of the Amf.rican Chcrch Missionary
Society, No. 3, Bible House, Nkw York, Jan. 9,
1871. The Hon. Columbus Delano, Secretary of thu
interior liy Dear Sir: Your favor touching tlie
case of Cnlunel Spear was received on Saturday.
In Justice to ourselves I ought to say that all the
testlmoulHls laid before us were from parties well
known to us, and were as full and satisfactory as
we can ever expect to have. Not a suspicion of any
kind reached us until the day before your letter
came. Dad we known of any of the objections we
should not have presented Ins name.
aiiow me to ask it you knaw or any person of such
qualifications as would tit him for the poaition of
agent, whom we can properly nominate? Thu men
whom we know personally, and whom we would be
willing to nominate, cannot be had for the amount
allowed as salary. We will act as soon as possible.
I am, very truly yours, II. Dveb.
WHY IS IT?
An Onilaaloa that will Provoke Acrimony.
Our readers will remember the passatre-at-
arms which on last Thursday occurred betceu
President Hubn and Joseph S. Allen, member
of Common Council, lu which the latter c harged
the former with having acted uufairly In pro
mising to make him (Allen) chairman of the
Committee on Highways, and theu nvt even
giving him a membership in it; and having done
this nr. in, Mr. Allen presented his reuatloa
as chairman ot tbe Committee on Election
Divisions, accompanied with his reasons there
for. This, it will also be remembered, was
ruled out of order, as disrespectful and entirely
too personal, bv President Huhn. whereupon
Mr. Allen presented an appeal, which wai laid
on Ibe table. Now, in the journal of the Com
mon Branch the appeal U thus printed:
We, the undersigned, appeal from the decision of
the Chair In ruling the following reslguation out of
order:
Because we believe It to he the rlgf-t of any mem
ber to place his reasons for his resignation upon the
journal, If such reasons contain uothlug d srexpecl
fu; to the body, and we claim tbat this ioe not.
Joseph S am.ek,
Louis Waonkk.
To-morrow afternoon the Inquiry will be made,
why was the language of the resignation emas
culated from the appeal, and very likely a pretty
muss will ensue.
The Church of tbe Epiphany, at the'northeast
corner of Fifteenth aud Chesnut streets, was
last evening crowded to its utmost capacity, the
occasion being the marriage of Jeese W. Starr,
Jr., Esq., of tbe Camden Iron Work'), to Mss
Fannie 8. James, of this city, the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. Dr. Isaac Newton.
The bride wore a very handsome white silk
drtss, with white tarlatan over-skirt, and looped
up with orange blossoms hanging gracefully
over the shoulder. At the conclusion of tbe
cetemi-ny, the guei-ts repaired to -the groom's
residence in Camden, N. J., where a handsome
reception awaited them.
Attack on a Policeman llugh Judge is
the name of an individual who last niht, with
out anv provocation, stepped up to Policeman
John Kelly, at Seventh and Carpeuter street,
and struck him a Violent blow In the face. Not
content with this he stole the officer's club, aud
ran. At Christian street he was stopped by
Sergeant Martin. Judge turned on this ofllfier
and assaulted him. Martin was too much for
him, and he was forced to submit to an arrest.
Before Alderman Bousall Hugh had a bearing,
