Kuox'S store, Broadway, was visited on Satur
day afternoon by 1 nomas 11. uroome, a soutn
erner temporarily staying in this city, who said
that he wished to buy a hat. He was shown one
by William E. Johnson, the head clerk, but in a
contemptuous tone he asserted that it was made
last fall, and asked if they wanted to swindle
him. Johnson then produced one of another
style, which Broome pronounced imperfect, and
in a Quarrelsome manner demanded that every
hat in the store should be displayed until he was
suited. Johnson, after showing a great number
of bats, at last offered one tho workmanship of
which he declared was perfect. The following
conversation then ensued:
Broome That hat perfect! it's a lie.
Johnson- It is the best made hut we hare in
tho store.
Broome If you say that hat Is perfect you're
a liar.
Johnson I must say that you're no gentleman
to tell me I'm a liar.
Broome I tell you again you're a liar. I'm
a Southerner, sir. and I fought you Yankees
for five years, and I'm willing to do it again if
there's ever a chance. Take that for your lie!
With this lastiremark Broome lifted a light
umbrella and stabbed Johnson in the eye with
its brass point. Johnson received a severe in-
iurv. but managed to gee to the store door and
call a policeman, who thereupon arrested
Broome. The prisoner was brought before

THE COMMISSION DILLS.
An Extrnonllnnr T Hrnmt Tar Phlla
delphia. A remarkable plan has been presented in the
Pennsylvania I.'glslutrrc for a municipal gov
ernment of Philadelphia. The plan is mostly
comprehended In bills creating three commis
sions, each composed of six members, who are
to hold oilico five year, and whose powers are
ample and their decisions irreversible. The
thn e commissions are a Board of Metropolltau
Police, a lionrd of Water Commissioners, and a
Hoard of Public Works. Tho act creating the
llrst board provides that the commissioners who
arc pnmed shall have full power to organize and
control the police of tho city, and to require the
City Councils to appropriate all the money the
board roay need for those purposes, tho Councils
being peremptorily commanded to vote theso
requisitions.
The Board of Water Commissioners are to
have control of tho water supply for the city,
and of all contracts for extending the works.
The Councils are commanded to make appro
priations at the demand of the board, and If
necessary lo levy a siieeial tax for this depart
ment. The Board of Public Works are to have
the entire management and control of tho
streets, buildings, bridges and sewers. The
Mayor of Philadelphia, on receiving copies of
these bills from llarrisburg, sent a message to
the Councils, telling those bodies that should
the bills be passed they miirht as well adjourn
without day, for they would no longer bo of ser
vice except to executo the will of the boards.
The Councils have passed a resolution to call a
crand indignation meeting: nearly all the news
papers of both parties have denounced the
scheme, and the people are much excited about
it. A'. 1. Evening Pout, editorial.
EIGHTEEN M03TH8 1YIT1I0UT FOOD.
The I'noilnff Nun of the I'rfttillnn Convent
I.lvin for itlontha on u lilrtle Wine.
In tho Ursuline Convent in Morrisanla re
sides Sister Agatha, a nun of the order, who has
not, it is said, for the past eighteen months
eaten food of any description. She has many
times tried to eat, but in vain, as every morsel
of food is immediately ejected from her mouth.
Several eminent physicians wffo have studied
her case say that the stomach is nearly closed,
and that it is impossible to pass food into that
organ. A few spoonfuls of weakened wine are
daily administered, but the greater part of this,
too, the stomach rejects. Small, however, as
the quantity retained is, it is the only nourish
ment of any sort that Sister Agatha has had
for many months.
AVhen it was ascertained that she did not eject
the Blessed Sacrament, the Lady Superior in
charge of the convent obtained some of the
unleavened bread from which the consecrated
wafers are prepared, in the hope that with it she
might prolong the life of her poor sister, but
this was as unsuccessful as other attempts.
Everything that medical skill could devise, or
the kindness of tho Bisters suggest for the relief
of the invalid, has been done.
Bitter Agatha is very cheerful under this
great allliclion, and faithfully attends, so far as
her decreasing strength will permit, to her reli
gious duties. She eits up part of the day and
occasionally busies herself with her needle.
he grows weaker and weaker, however, but
does not murmur, and awalt3 her dissolution
with calmness.
ANOTHER IMIL1L0AI) CASUALTY.
A Lawyer Found Woiinilrd upon the Railroad'
nt I'ntt Liberty Arm Amputated.
Friday night, about ten o'clock, Mr. C.
Strahley, who keeps a store on Pcnn avenue,
south of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge at
East Liberty, found a man lying between the
tracks, badly Injured. Mr. Creighton, the
general agent of the road, lives at East Liberty,
and he was at once notified of the matter, and
had the man sent to the St. James Hotel,
near the Union depot. Here ho was placed
in charge of Dr. Hamilton, who found that one
arm was horribly mangled, and his jaw was
also broken. He was quite delirious all through
the night, but became rational towards morning,
and-avehls name as J. W. Morrison, and his
residence, New Lisbon, Ohio. The arm was so
badly crushed that Dr. Hamilton bad to ampu
tate it. His friends at New Lisbon were tele
graphed to, and Saturday evening the father
and brother of the Injured man arrived here and
repaired at once to the bedside of the unfortu
nate man. Mr. Morrison is a lawyer by profes
sion, and well known in New Lisbon and vi
cinity. He had purchased a ticket for Philadel
phia, and had evidently fallen off the fast line
wulcn iclt tho Lnion depot at 8 ociock rriday
evening. He had no recollection, however, of
coming to Pittsburg, and could not realize that
he had left New Lisbon. He had a ticket for
Philadelphia in his pocket, so that he must have
been on the eastern bound train. Pittsburg

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Narrow nrRpe of the Mayor of Ualena.
The Galena (111.) Gazette says:
Mayor Robert Brand was struck by lightning
this morning, and had a very narrow escape
with his life. Waking up about 5 o'clock, he
heard the rain falling, and determined to go out
and adjust the tin pipe which conveys water to
his cistern. hue he was at work upon the
pipe, which at that time leaned against the
iightninsr-rod, the lightning struck the rod, and
a portion of the electricity passed from the rod
to the DiDe. bv which Mr. Brand received a
stunning shock. Mr. Brand, in describing the
sensation, says that in an instant his head felt as
large as a bushel basket. A moment later he
was unconscious, xtow ion? lie lay in mis state
he does not know, as the family knew nothing
of his condition at the time. V lien conscious
ness returned he was sullering from a fearful
headache. He rallied and stacered to the
wood-house, where he fell to the floor. By this
time tho family were stirring, ana tney picKea
him ud and took him into the house. He was
in bis store a short time to-day, but is very
lame, the lightning having passed down one of
his less and burned it quite seriously. His
escape was a most fortunate one, as a portion of
the ripe wnicn no neia in nis nana was meitea,
and the cistern-box was shattered to pieces.
