THE DAILY 13V,jn1NcJ TELEGRAPH .PHILADELPHIAMONDAY, AP1UL 2d, ' 181. CITY IHTELLlttEriCE. THE TROPHIES The Police Officers Pnmue Hunk Burglars, Mi Capture their Tool. This morning the police officers who had pur tned the suspicions burglar, np to Bridesbnrg with a dilatorlnesa not at all remarkable the particular, of which pursuit will be found on our third page arrived at the Mayor's office, loaded with the tools which the rascals had dropped to facilitate their escape. This arrival caused a f ensation that was considerably height ened by tne formal manner lu which the tro phies were spread upon the Brussels carpet of the Mayor's sanctum. This haying been done, our reporter made a careful Inventory of the captured articles, to wit: A musket, from the nipple of which the Lieuten ant had judlcieooly removed the cap. A heavy wroof fit-Iron brace, to be nsed In drill ing Into a safe door. A jointed crowbar, arranged In sections for con venience. A great variety of steel-pointed and curiously, shaped Jimmies, to be screwed on the bar. Dozens of One-pointed wedges, to be used la forc ing apart Joints. Woollen caps, shaped like ancient helmets, cover ing tne entire face except the eyes. White bars, to be drawn over the heads of sub dued watchmen. A large gutta-percha syringe, to inject powder iito a lock. A canister of powder, lot of cartridges, and a coll of fuse. A bundle of bits, drills, files, and scrape of Iron. An alarm bell, to be operated by an accomplice ontaide cf the bank. Strips of rubber, bundles of hemp, and packages of paper to deaden the sound of blows. A coll of robe, a rubber bag (a mystery to the de tectives), a curiously shaped tube of horn (also a mys.ery to the detectives). Three large pieces ol tough wood for supports In drilling into the safe. The above mentioned articles, save me masset, larger Jimmies, and wood, were carried in large and genteel looking valises. But it strongly appears that the rascals intended making a nlRht of it in some bank, either in Brldesburf or Frankford, as they brought a great variety of provender, to wit: Fried squabs. Ham sandwiches. rirs, cakes, etc. Coffee in bottles. 1'lckles, in cans. Tickled oysters. , all of which, not having been brought with the other articles, must have been surreptitiously seized by some hungry offloer and devoured. Installation. The North Broad Street Presbyterian Church was completely packed last evening, the occasion being the installation of the Rev. Dr. Harper, of Indianapolis, as pastor. The services were under the auspices of the Central Presbytery of Philadelphia, within the bounds of which the North Broad Street Church Is located. Rev. Dr. Adams, the first pastor of this church, made the opening prayer, Rev. Frank L. Robbins preached the Bermon, Rev. Mr. Work put the usual questions to the pastor elect and people, Rev. B. L. Agnew delivered the charge to the pastor, Rev. Dr. Willits the charge to the congregation, and Rev. Dr. Henry made the closing prayer. Through out the services were impressive, instructive, and highly suggestive and entertaining, and the vast audience appeared to be deeply Inter ested. It Is rarely, on installation occasions, that so gifted a party of clergymen is selected for the varied duties required as we noted last evening, and we doubt whether the different parts were, collectively, ever performed with greater ability and satisfaction. Since Rev. Dr. Harper accepted the call to this popular church, the pew rentals have in creased upwards of three thousand dollars, and at present aggregate nearly $8000. The congre gation have given their newjpastora warm recep tion, and the presbytery to which he has united himself a hearty welcome. From the reputa tion of Dr. Harper in the West, It Is but fair to predict that the North Broad Street Church will prosper under his ministry. Don't Like tiie Police. Charles Evarts, a swaggering devotee of pugilistic propensities, lives In Frankford, and bo 1 known to have boasted that he could "clean out" the whole police force of Philadelphia. This extreme longing to put a head on somebody induced him nine months ago to assault Lieutenant McLees, of the Frankford district, and for which offense he was seut to prison, lie got out again, and last night he was drunk in the main street of Frankford. The sight of Police Officers Mc Glnnls and Cox immediately aroused his ire.and he proceeded for those officials forthwith. He took Cox by the throat and administered a vigorous kick, and, dropping him, rushed at McGinnls to repeat the operation. Both officers fell upon and secured him, and Alderman Stearne has held him In $800 ball to answer. Daring Act of Pickpockets Hon. George W. Woodward, on Saturday last, between 1 and 2 o'clock, was passing into the depot of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, when he was sur rounded by a crowd of pickpockets, and his wallet, containing several hundred dollars and some valuable papers, was stolen. As soon as the theft was accomplished the thieves scat tered, and meeting outside the depot, were seen to get Into a carriage, which, was driven ra pidly off. The Lecture of the Season. Rev. John Hall, D. D., of New York, will deliver his latest lecture on the grand theme of "Personal Power," to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, in Rev. Dr. Wylie's church. By all who have once beard Dr. Hall, there is a strong desire to hear him again, and we recommend our readers to secure Beats early, as from all indications the church will be thronged with a very large audience. See advertisement in another column. Stores Robbed The third-story of the build - Ing No. 48 N. Seventh street, occupied by J. S.

Several railroad companies hare made application for bonding, so as to be able to carrr tbU class of merchandise from. New York to inland cities.

The Supreme Court, after a protracted session of several hours, decided, by a vote of 5 to 4, to reverse the former decision of the court on the question of the constitutionality of the Legal tender act. Where contracts were made prior to the passage of the act la 18G2 the decision will also declare the constitutionality of the Legal-tender act. Justice Davis voted with the majority. The opinion of the Court will probably not be delivered until October, next as there is not sufficient time to prepare it at this term.

Tne latest ma frsra Ktre wrings Intelligence of the deata o Bcmamyl, ui celebrated Ctroawlan chieftain. He was born In the year 179T, at the .Aoul of Hlmrt, In the northern wart of the Circas sian district of Eajruestan. From his earliest years be displayed much ambition and an eagerness to snrpsss in atblctlo sports and trials of skill. Bis character appears to have been shaped by the Instruction which be received from a teacher narocd Dschellal-Edln, from whom be imbibed tne doctrines ef Sufeyism, which appeals from the bar ren letter ef the Koran to the human consciousness, and seeks the Inculcation of nobler hopes than those offered by a gross Mohammedan paradise. In 1824, Schamyl, under the leadership of Kasl Mollab, first took part in the defense of his country sgalsft the encroachment of the Basslan", and from that date until his capture In 1889 he was the most troublesome antagonist encountered by the Russians dorlcR their constant Irruptions Into Circassia. The exploits attributed to htm would fill a volume. In a battle with the Rus sians in 1681, the Worlds, under Kast Mollah, were slain almost to a man, and Schamyl lay at his leader's feet, pierced by a ball ; but he escaped In time to be present at the first meeting held by the discomfited tribes after the encounter. In 1886, Kast Mollaa fell a victim to a conspiracy, and Behamyl was chosen chief In his place. ear after year he continued the struggle against the Russians, who sent large forces against him, bnt did not succeed In breaking down the Circassian power until after the Crimean war. Inl80T-5S several Important victo ries were gained over the mountaineers, the Rus sians becoming masters of the defile which cut ou all communication between Vedenl, the re sidence of Schamyl, and the pasture- grounds of the Tchetchenla. On Sep tember T, 18S9, Schamyl and his sen were finally captured, the Russians treating thelf prisoners with great respect. Schamyl was assigned a residence st Moscow, where be maintained an estab lishment In keeping with his former station, bis wives nnd treasure being spared tobtmby the Czar Alexander II, who did great honor to himself by his considerate treatment of the captive. In 1880 the vanquished chieftain and bis sons abandoned all show of opposition ta the Rus sian Government, by taking the oath of allegiance to the Czar and the Grand Duke at Ealouga. Schamyl, after his oapture, made the happiest Im pression by the tact and spirit which he displayed in conversation and social Intercourse. A Russian eye-witness has described him as tall, broad-shouldered, and haggard, with deep-set eyes and a long, dark red beard. Bis walk was slow and dignified, bis furrowed lineaments revealed great Intel lectual power, and an unnatural paleness and debilitated air bespoke the sorrows which were hidden under his impressive repose. From early childhood, his most striking characteristic had been bis religious earnestness. As a boy he had passed many days in solitary meditation, prayer, and the perusal of the Koran. Tue syBtem of fervid mysticism which he professed was founded en Sufeyism, to which additional earnestness was Imparted by the doo- triues of the Koran. The system was known as Murldtem, and when first preached by Kasl Mollaa, in 1823, served to unite quickly the native Circassian tribes, which bad long been at war with each other, In a commen bond of hatred against the northern Infidels. Schamyl succeeded Kasl Mollab as the prophet of Muridism, as well as military leader of the tribes. He was gifted with a fervid eloquence, and had the most Implicit faith In his prophetlo mission. THE MISSISSIPPI. Condition of the Levees Near New Or leans. From the y. O. Republican, April 20. We regret to inform our people tbat there is great danger to the levees at the present time, irom various combinations ot circumstances, wuicn we win siaic: nret, total neglect ot re pairs for several years, and a perfect callousness at present by many planters immediately inte- resiea. ice 01a levees nave oeen worn clown and honeycombed by crawfish until tbev could not poseioiy stanct a great nign water. .Mow It must be understood tbat tbe late Board of Public orks have bad no power to repair levees. but only to build, after a period of advertise ment, aud every caution aud advisement have been published by this board in their reports; but, nevertheless, many points mentioned have been neglected, and therefore the crevasses now occurring should have been anticipated and guarded against by those Immediately interested. we win lane tne nrst, wnicn is Known as the Poverty Point crevasse. Every man near It ex pected it, and all agree that a few dollars would have prevented it. The next, at Villere, was known to be caused by simple negligence, and this is a history of all these mishaps, except one. We have been informed by General Jeff. Thompson, Chief Engineer, that the gentlemen Interested in tne Poverty roint crevasse have cheerfully agreed to advance sufficient sums to close it, relying upon the State to reimburse them, and that the crevasse will be speedily closed. In St. Bernard there seems to be a "hitch" in tbe payment of the laborers, and that (though the crevasse will be closed) there may be some misunderstanding among those immediately in terested. The crevasse at Point Manwoir mar do much harm, as those near it are not able to furnish the cash means necessary to close a cre vasse. The Bonnet Carre crevasse (left bank though small at present, is of more Importance than any now open, for there are hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of crops behind it, and tbe New Orleans, Jackson, and Great North ern Railroad travel Is liable to be cut off for months. The railroad managers have agreed to furnish means to buy the materials needed, but others interested may have to come to their help to close this important crevasse. We will now state for tbe satisfaction of those inte rested that the river has fallen 15 feet at Mem phis, 4 feet at Greenville, 2 feet at Providence, and bas at no time been within 20 inches of high water mark at Grand Lwee. LARGE FIRE IN NEWARK. A fire broke out about 1-30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in Ballantlne's brewery at Newark, which at one time threatened to do a very large amount of damage. Tbe fire was first discovered by John McCo.-mlck and John Donnelly, two men who were employed in the building. These men were, however, unable to eteape and give the alarm, McCormlck perishing in the flames and Donnelly only escaping by an accident which nearly cost him his life. lne brewery is owned by the brothers Robert. John, and Peter Ballitntine, and the malt-house, which was burned, is situated on the corner of Front and Rector streets, just below the Centre street depot of tbe New Jersey Railroad. The fire originated in the kiln-room from an overheating of the grain which was stored there for drying. On discovering the Ore McCormlck, who was the superintendent of the malt-house, attempted to enter the drylug-room. On open ing the door the flames burst Into bis face, throwing him to tbe floor, and also severely burning Donnelly, who was following, about tbe face and body. Donnelly attempted to retreat, but became insensible, and fell through tbe holstway to the floor below, thus saving his life, as he would have been unable to reach any other way of egrees. Ihe fire bad gained such headway before the arrival of the firemen that it was impossible to save the building, and attention was directed to tbe adjoining works and to tbe house of Robert Ballantine. The building, with its contents, principally grain, Is a total loss. The Arm states the loss at 175,000 and the Insurance at tTO.000. . Immediately after the fire bad been overcome search was made for tbe body of McCormlck, which was burled in tbe ruins. When dis covered tbe limbs and head wre entirely burned away, leavlDg nothing but two feet of bluckened body, presentiug a horrible slht.

The Cincinnati Times of Friday evening last has the following: About 1 o'clock last night tbe residents of Arch streets, between Broadway and Ludlow streets, were startled by the report that a man named I'lenry Teale, a newspaper carrier, who lived at No. 20 Arch street, had been murdered by a pistol shot while asleep in his bed. On arriving at the premises this morning our reporter was conducted into tbe room where the tragic event occurred.

Diagonally across tbe bod lay the inanimate form of the victim of tbe tragedy, a light-complexloned man, apparently about thirty-five years of age. His head was restlug on a pillow, which was saturated with blood. Jutt back of his left ear was the opening made by the fatal bullet, and the blood, as it had trickled down from tbe wound, bad left its mark across the edge of his face. lie bad apparently died without a struggle, as there was ne sign of suffering on bis couate nance. The perpetration of a deed of horror like thW in a neighborhood so thickly settled, aud ia a house occupied by several families, without dis covering tbe guilty party, is a source of wonder to erery one, but there cau be but little doubt tbat tbe perpetrator will be traced out. Tbe fact tbat the deceased and his wife h vi not been on the beet of terms elves grounds V tbe suspicion tbat she did tbe deed, though ttn tentlmouy adduced before lne Coroner did ujt fully establish it.

Bays the Court Jaurnal: Dnring the last six months a plainly dressed, graceful lady, ac companied by three or four attendants, might have been met any day walking in the lanes in and about CbUelburet. Few of those meeting her aud falling to recognize a familiar face would have inspected that one short twelve months since she was an empress and wife of the ruler over a great ana powerful na tion. With the resignation of royalty ske has abandoned every appearance of state. Every Sunday she walks to the little Catholic chapel, whatever the weather may be, and it Is the rarest thing in the world to see her riding in a carriage. Her attire is of , the simplest, and she may sometimes be seen walking in a plain cotton dress. She neither visits nor receives visitors in any number, and, Indeed, carries her seclusion so far that when solicited to be present at a concert in the neighborhood, given for the benefit of her distressed subjects of former years, she de clined. For years the Empress has been the leader of fashion, and the least peculiarity of manner or drees, whether intentional or not, has been faithfully copied by every lady who pretends to belong in the slightest degree to the world of fashion. Even now her manner of walking, with the body slightly bent forward, and the small stick which she frequently car ries, is imitated by the ladies of Chlselhurst, and a reflex of it may be traced far beyond that secluded district. The feelings of the inhabi tants towards the Empress and the young Prince have, after the first curiosity, subsided into re spect for her wish to keep herself quite private, and she now attracts no more attention than any ordinary lady. Tbe only effect has been to bring down a few people from London on Sun day mornings, who visit the chapel for the pur pose of gazing on royalty. Prince Napoleon's Foresight. We give the following on the authority of the London correspondent of the Manchester Guar dian: Prince Napoleon has given 20,000 for a houEe at Lancaster Gate, for which, with judi cious forethought, he contrived to save the choicest furniture, pictures, and objects of art that once glittered at Mendon and the Palais Koyal. It sounds incredible, and yet it is never theless true, that he alone of all the imperial entourage had tbe sense to sniff the coming danger from afar, and, while yet the sky was comparatively clear, to prepare for the impend ing storm, lie Is said to have sold his estate and chateau in Switzerland to Mr. Lucas, the contractor, for 70,000, and, having tried alt climes and zones, he seems to have made np his mind that about tbe safest place to settle in, as times go, ia the north side of Hyde Park.
