light as possible. They sent to German town
Engine no. iv, a ponaerons-wneeiea, ungainly-
looking affair, weighing seven thousand and
four hundred pounds! "This delicate piece of
mechanism," says the Chronicle, "is to be
hauled over the hills of Germantowa and
through the muddy roads whenever a fire
occurs, provided tbe wheels do not sink beneath
their burden." It was fonnd that the steamer
was too heavy to be moved into the house by
the ordinary means, and eo ropes and pulleys
were brought into requisition, and after much
tugging the heavy apparatus was drawn Into the
house of the ex-Fellowship Engine company.

lication ofllce In the building at Third and Dock
streets.
The defendants admitted they were the nronrie.
tors of the paper.
T. T. Derringer, living at No. SOOT Green street,
testified that he knew both defendants; he had a
conversation with Mr. Taggart on the Saturday be-
lure tue Kriicic ruuucu -rui, fcuo nuitiauce was
published, and Mr. Tairirart said he had been told
that Mr. Fox kept disorderly honse at Nineteenth
and Green streets; witness said It was not so; that
there was no more quiet and orderly house tn Green
street, and the article should not be published under
any circumstances ; i aggan said ne nad nis Informa
tion from good authority.
Colonel Taggart asked witness If he dldnt know
this conversation occurred the day after the publi
cation , mm tne witness saia no, it occurred tne day
before the publication.
The paper of December i was offered in evidence.
containing the article calling the prosecutor "Fox
the nuisance" and "Australian Bob," and charged
that at his residence he kept np the most wicked
and noisy revels on Sunday ; that this caused great
consternation In the neighborhood, and a delegation
of the residents called upon him and asked him to
move away or abate tne nuisance, end ne replied to
them that he would do neither, but If he was mo
lested ho would start a brothel there.
Robert Fox sworn I reside at the northeast cor
ner of Nineteenth and Green streets; I am a mar
ried man; tave lived tnere two years and a nair;
I have read the article spoken of; I understood It
as referring to me ; the charges contained In that
article were false; I have kept my house quietly, and
on the Sabbath never had any noise or music or
dancing or revelry of any kind, and am not In the
habit of receiving visitors on Sanday; none of my
neighbors ever waited npon me or remonstrated
with me as to the manner my house was conducted ;
I never threatened to start a tavern or ladles' board
ing-house there: I am not aware of any deprecia
tion ot the property up there ; these charges are all
false, and i am wining tne defendants may oner
any proof to the contrary.
uross-examinea oy coionei xnggari, i hhvc
alwavs eone bv the name of Robert Fox in England
and In this country; I keep a theatre; I did keep a
casino on Chesnut street; I was never convicted in
this court of apy offense ; I did plead guilty to the
charge oi selling liquor without a license; (Dius
snown to witness), tnose are ouis oi my tneatre.
The judge said any questions referring to any
thtnirielse than the charge against Mr. Fox's resi
dence were not relevant, and the witness was al
lowed to leave tne stand.
Dr. Stewart, residing at Nineteenth and Green
streets, said he knew Mr. Fox's name, but did no
know him personally: he never saw anything
wrong about his house, and was never disturbed by
any Improprieties In it.
Dr. John J Reese, residing at the southeast cor
ner of Nineteenth aud Green streets, said he never
considered Mr. Fox's house to be a nuisance to the
neighborhood, and so far as he knew the charges

Mr. McFerro. residing opposite fox s, said tne
article in the naner wa". in ht9 opinion, false.
Mr. Matthias Marrle, residing next door to Mr.
Fox, said the article In the paper was entirely false.
Dr. Filbert, a neignoor or Air. fox, saia tne
charees were false.
Cross-examined Witness said he did not furnish
the Information upon which tne article was written.
Here the prosecution closed.
Colonel TttKHurt men said this article waa not
written in cold blood, but was provoked. Ue Bald
Fox had circulated large posters calling his paper a
blackmail sheet, and naa printed upon nis tneatre
bills that the Sunday Timet bad a circulation of only
160 copies per week ; that he had caused to be writ
ten to mm tne most ouensive ana mreaieuing let
ters, and most insniting letters to nis lamny; ana
Mr. Fox had employed persons to do him violence.
These weie provocations. In regard to
his nresent famllv he knew nothing: the article com
plained of was written by himself, he did not deny
it. and was willing to take the responsibility, and hia
son had nothing whatever to do with It. A proposi
tion had been made to him to settle this matter
npon the payment by him of f TOO, with which to pay
counsel fees.
Colonel Taggart offered some documents to the
inrv. bnt the oourt ruled them out as not evidence.
When Colonel Taggart had concluded his remarks
Judge Brewster made a few remarks Judge Paxson
delivered a brief charge, and arter a short delibera
tion the Jnry rendered a verdict of guilty. Sentence
deferred.
