down Fourth Avenue to Seventk street.
The crowd continued hooting and Jeering,
but matte no other attack.
The New York Tribune gives the follow
ing account of the reckless manner in
which the troops'fired indiscriminate vol
leys into the crowd of spectators at the cor
ner of Eighth avenue:
Here the procession wseilred upon from
a tenement house on the corner of Twenty
fonrth street, but not half-a-dozen shots
were discharged Mall, and none of them
apparently took effect on the troops or
policemen. The 84th regiment, however,
immediately and excitedly discharged their
weapons at the house and at the crowd in
the avenue and along the street. They had
'previously loaded with ball cartridge in
the open street, as If to intimidate the riot
ers, and the effect of their lire was mur
derous.
At the same time the Ninth and Sixth
regiments in the rear of the Orangemen,
began tiring indiscriminately, sweeping
'Twenty-fifth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty
seventh and Twenty-eighth streets, the
extreme rear tiring a: few shots into
Eighth avenue, into a platoon of policomn
stationed at Twenty-ninth street. The
troops of the Sixth, Ninth and. Eighty
fourth regiments were, for a moment,
completely demoralized anti broken. Their
tiring was as wild as it was uncalled fur,
and wholly without orders.
They soon recovered from their momen
tary panic, however, and, reforming,
marched on again, leaving a hundred or
more dead and wounded urea, women and
children behind them. The side streets
from Twenty-filth to Twenty.eighth streets
wereipistantly cleared of sit but those un
able to fly, the rioters abandoning their
friends without compunction. They slam
ailed also the conflict. No further attempt
11,4 made to obstruct the march of the
Orangemen or their escort.

CFrate the NiltyliViDe (MO.) Register,ly 8.1
On last Saturday morning there ttriqlrred
near Maysville, ells of the most dastardly,
diabolical and heinous crimes ever perpe
trated in the State, the circumstances or
which are as folltiws:
About seven miles:north of bore lives the
family of Judge T. B. Titcomb, who was
0118 of our oldest and 1110 St valued citizens,
and which was at the limo of the tragedy,
coni[io ied of the old gentleman, wife, two
unmarried daughters, and a HUD named
Edward, aged about :17 years. • Edward
Titeomb had been married, but obtained a
divorce $l,lll his wife several years, ago,
since which time lie has resided with his
father..,Fr the past two years he ha.
manitested a quarrelsome and disc
greeable disposition towards his lam
ily, using abusive and threatening lan
gauge nu the slightest provocation.
He has also at Mlroma Limes threat
erred to kill a brother-in-law for n fan
chid wrong dune him. These quarrels,
always euinlllollo,l by himself, never ter
minated in anything !nailer than mere
bandying (4 words, until last saturday
morning, when be had a difficulty with
his father about hauling some hay.—
The old gentleman, perceiving that his
son was bent on getting up a quar
rel, sought to pacify him by telling - him
to do as he pleased. Ed. at onto flew
into a dreadful passion and knocked his
father down. The daughters Interfered in
behaffortheir /hi grey-headed father, when
the unnatural and fiendish son and brother
struck the youngest a blow which dislo
cated her shoulder, and choked tho other
so that die impress of his lingers on her
throat was visible several hours afterwards.
'rho lather, after his son was pulled off of
him by the girls, MOW] hid a horse and rode
over to the house of Mr. Stephen Merritt,
a neighbor of his, to wait until his son's
passion had cooled down. 'the father's
escape only seemed to increase the furi

axe he rushed toward his mother and
threatened to brain her if she did not
instantly restore his revolver, which she
had taken the precaution to hide at the
commencement of the difficulty, and thus
forced to comply or suffer death, she gave
it to hint alter eliciting a promise that he
would not harm his lather. Getting pos
session of the revolver, Edward immediate,
ly rode after his father, and found him in
Mr. Merritt's yard. 'rho ungrateful son
shot three Limos at his father; one shot'
struck the old gentleman's latent', and the
shot which proved fatal struck the lower
rib of the left side, glanced down, struck the

appear that Ise was insane, and refused to

antes, but the sham was too transparent to
deceive any one.
Since the parricide's confinement in
jail he has hot exhibited the least qualm of
conscience for the heinous crime committed
by him on Saturday last ; and while the
father was lying at the point of death, shot
by his own eon's hand, that son was play
ing the fiddle for theamusenient of his fel
low prisoners !
It is reported that the interest of the
family of the late Henry J. Raymond
in the New York Times—about one
third—has been purchased for $375,000
by the other owners of that paper.
The Propriety or Orange Parades.
Several newspapers have taken the
ground that the Orangemen ought not to
be allowed to perpetuate in this country
demonstrations which have been prohibit
ed in England by an act of Parliament.—
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, a
staunch Republican journal, says:
The Orangemen 'should not celebrate the
Battle of the.l3oyne by a public procession.
The essential portion of the rights of free
speech and free demonstrations are those
which involve the accomplishment of fu
ture objects or the preservation of pres
ent liberties, but not those which design
edly cast opprobrium upon believers
in old errors or the victims of old tri
umphs. The leaders of all well-man
aged organizations instinctively recog
nize this fact. There was not a banner
in the late German peace celebration in this
city, for instance, insulting to France or
Frenchmen, and not a motto in the proces
sion of colored citizens celebrating the
recognition of their political rights, which
marched through our streets some months
ago,
that derided the conquered oppo
nents of colored suffrage. CM the other
hand, large American communities have
been thrown into a fever heat of
agitation by mere rumors that proces
sions have purposely trampled upon the
American flag; and no Northern" city
would be expected to witness with equa
nimity a procession in honor of the Rebel
victory at Bull Run or at Chancellorville.
liven if Mayor Fox protected such a pro
cession with his Democratic police force, in
Philadelphia, its safety would be by no
means ensured, and thepubiic peace would
inevitably be endangered.
There is, therefore, a limit to the charac
ter of the public demonstrations that can
be prudently tolerated in largo cities, and
few things can be much more objectionable
than the celebration of a victory won on
foreign soil two centuries ago, which is
known to be especially irritating to a large
class of adopted citizens.
The Philadelphia Ledgcr says:
With regard to the custom which Was
made the pretext for the riot, the judgment,
of this journal has been ex pressed HO re
, . .
cently that there is no necessity for its repe
tition. No proceedings which ire calculated
to transplun tnto our soil the feuds and ha
treds engendered by-partisan strife in the

one; and no ono properly discharges his
duties as a good citizen who does introduce
them hero. I;opt] customs are welcome 00-

CHICAGO, July l4.—The Prescott (Ari
zona) MM. - of June 24 gives the following
particulars of the slaughter of tifty-six
Apache Indians at a point near Pon to
creek of that territory. The cause of the
slaughter was the killing of Bowers itz. Co.'s
herdsman and the capture of that herd by
the Apaches. The Indians had no signior
obtained possession of the herd than a
inessenger was dispatched to convey the
news of the outrage to Prescott.
On receipt of the news a party of sixteen
cif icons started in pursuit. Alter proceed
ing fifty-live miles they met a detachment
of the Third Cavalry, under Lieutenant
Charles M. Morton, likewise in the pur
suit of the Indians. The Citizens joined
the force under Lieutenant Morton, and
the journey was resumed with fresh vigor.
After proceeding twenty live miles, the
party went into camp at a late hour in the
evening.
On the morning of tho 9th they again
took up the trail, which thoy followed for
twenty nines, and at one o'clock, P. M.,
came upon a ranchero, which they quickly
surrounded, killing twenty-ono of the in
mates.
Another Lease by the Pennsylvania
I=oll
The Jefferson, Madisonville, and Indian
apolis Railroad was leased at Cincinnati on
Monday to the Pennsylvania Railroad for
ninety-nine years from August 1. This in
cludes the road from Columbus to Cam
bridge City and Madison, Indiana, gives
the Pennsylvania a controlling interest in
the Ohio River bridge at Louisville, the sole
feasible access to the great Louisville,
Nashville and New Orleans Railroad, and,
if they can succeed in , controlling the South
ern lines through the Atlantic and Gull
States, as now seems probable, they will
monopolize the business of the South even
more effectually than they now do that of
the West. Thus is the great line extend

the most prolific regions of the Valley of
the Mississippi with the city of Philadel

THE BALTIMORE POISONING CASE
Mrs. Wharton Indicted and Committed
to Prison for the Murder of
General Ketchum.
The great social sensation in Baltimore is
the arrest of the widow of the late Major
Henry W. Wharton, charged with the
murder of Gen. Ketcham and the attempt
ed murder of Eugene Van Ness, of Balti
more. Mrs. Wharton was well known
here, and moved in the most exclusive so
cial circle, where she was acknowledged to
be a highly accomplished woman. Sus
picion now points to her as having made
away with her cousin, from whom she had
received some property, her son who had'
his life insured in her favor for 80,000 and
a Miss Wharton, the,daughter of the above
named cousin. The only animus that can
be divined for,the crime is money,' as it is
said by his friends that Gen. Ketcham ivis
ited the house of Mrs. Wharton to have her
pay a note of $2,700 then due. The maiden
name of Mrs. Wharton was Elizabeth G.
Nugent, and her family is among the most
wealthy and most influential of Phila
delphia. She has a brother who is one of
the leading physicians of Pittston, Penn
sylvania. As a member of St. Luke's
Protestant Episcopal Church, Rev. C. W.
Rankin, rector, elm was regarded among
the most pious ladies of Baltimore, and re
ceived the sincere ,iympathy of her pastor
and friends when her husband and son
died.
•
Un Saturday afternoon, June 21, Mr. Eu
gene Van Ness, clerk in the banking-house
of Alex. Brown A: Sons, corner of Balti
more and Calvert streets, called at the house
of Mrs. Wharton, No. 2(53 North Eutaw
street, three doors front Biddle street. He
was a friend of the family, and also tinan
eiallagent for Mr. Wharton and attended to
the investment of her money. Shortly af
ter he entered the house he drank a glass
of beer, pouring in a few drops of the tinc
ture of gentian. In a short time he was
taken ill, and Dr. S. C. Chew was summon
ed to attend Inni. (Dr, Chew declines giv
ing the press any information at this stage
of the case.) Mr. Van Ness was too ill to be
taken to his home, and was put to bed in
Mrs. Wharton's house, where he remained)
till the following Friday under the medical
care of Dr. Chew. Oa thin same SaturdaY.

the key to the nirdery, and to demonstrate
beyond a doubt that he had been poisoned.

interred. •.33.
Dr. Williams, after vousultation with
Gen. Brice, considered it his duty to lay the
tkets in the case before the Marshal of Po
lice, and since then Marshal Gray and
Deputy-Marshal Frey have been engaged

arrest. .Mrs. Whartv and her daughter

,soon as advised of the
charges that hail been made against her she

aware of the pending proceeding for some
days before the arrest was made, and
is said to have had an interview with the
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney (Mr. Knott

pose of consulting him as to the propriety
of her leaving Baltimore.
Mrs. Wharton was arrested on Monday
evening, hut who made the affidavit of

circles. Out of consideration for her health
she was not, taken to jail, but was made a
prisoner in her own house, liiur officers
being detailed to guard the house and pre
vent any one from leaving. .too. 11. Thomas,
Esti., and I. Nevitt Steele, Esq. ' have been
retained as her counsel. Mr. Thomas was
in consultation with her during the night.
It was at first supposed that a writ of habeas

the accused might lie admitted to bah, but
after a consultation between her counsel
and her intimate personal friends, it was
determined to await the action of the grand
Jury, which meets on Saturday next. In
the meantime the greatest excitement pre•

A bout four years since Colonel Edward

Major 11. W. Wharton, (NI rs. Wharton's
husband), accompanied by his daughter, a
young lady of eighteen years of age, paid a

army, and came to his tnether'n house to
make preparations for a trip to California,
died very suddenly. His life was insured
tbr $20,D011, mat it is said that his mother was
the lawful heir to the money. These four
deaths occurring within four years in the
Gnuily have furnished material for a great
variety of speculations, and there are those

the poisoner in each of them.

A Destructive Sturm
YINELAND, N. J., July 17.—A fearful
tornado accompanied with thunder, light
ning and heavy rain struck this town last
evening about six o'clock. The lose of
property of all kinds is very severe. Roofs
of houses, trees, fences, etc., were destroy
ed. The most serious losses are the de
struction of the Episcopal Church, two
railway depots and two dwelling houses.
These buildings are all iu ruins. The loss
of the Church, of which Rev. Wm. J.
Clark is pastor, is especially felt. In one
of the houses destroyed six men were
gathered when the roof was taken off the
building, and the walls fell in. Some of
the parties were wounded, but none of
them dangerously. No loss of life has been
reported. The tornado seems to have been
entirely local in its character; the country
within a quarter of a mile of the town es
caping from its effects.

Lettei from Schnylkffi County,
NEW CArrtz, July 12, 1871
Messrs. Editors: We have very wet
weather here at the present time. The
months of May and Junp were unusually
dry, and consequently the grass crops in
this and adjoining counties was very light.
Hay is worth—or is bringing—forty dollars
a ton in Pottsville, and not very plenty
at that high figure. If some of your Lan
caster county farmers would pack some of
the old hay which has been laying In their
barns for years, and send it up this way,
they wouldfind a ready market fur it at the
above price. Some think it will command
larger figures after awhile; we do not
know, but it is certainly very scarce, those
having it do not wish to sell, they aro
holding on, expecting a better price.
Business is very brisk, most of the col-
lieries are in operation, wages (about the
mines,) have been on the decline
all Summer, though we do not think
there will be a general suspension. Wages
for mechanics, such as carpenters and
masons, have not been reduced much.
The Reading Railroad Company are
sinking several slopes and shafLs; they em
ploy a great many men—so far mostly
mechanics—such as masons and carpenters.
The company are doing substantial work ;
they are putting down a. shaft at East Miner,
when finished it will be about four hun
dred yards deep ; it is to be walled from
bottom to top with cut stone. The hickory
shaft at Wadesville is nearly full of water.
It is thought the fire is Quenched. The
Company will lose about one hundred
thousand dollars. It resulted by not having
competent men to superintend inside.
We have had several cases of roe de .soliel
in our town. Mr. Joseph Brady, of this
town, had a stroke while making hay. Ile

Death oLEx-Presiden I Lincoln's Young
cat Non.
The Chiertgu Journal, of Saturday, says:
It is With much sadness that we an
nounce the death of Thomas Lincoln, the
youngest son of ex-President Abraham
Lincoln. lle died this worning,, at the
Clifton Ilouse, in this city, where he lies
been residing with his mother, after great
suffering for several weeks front a severe
illness..
" Tad"—a pet:name which was given him
by his father when he was a chill—was an
unusual lad, intellectually and morally.
Naturally of a joyous disposition, he was
a favorite with all who knew him, but his
real character was never appreciated, in
his earlier years, by those who did not
know him intimately, owing to an unfor
tunate imperfection of speech with which
he was afflicted. About two and a half
years ago his 'nuttier took him to Europe,
where, iu Frankfort-on-the-Main, he was
placed in a school. Re applied' himself as
siduously to his studies, had heroine quite
a scholar, and succeeded in entirely over
coming the inthediment in his speech.
About two months ago he returned with
his another tat this city, where they have
been residing eversince. About two weeks
after their return he was taken ill with a
severe cold, which gradually assumed a
pleuritic and dropsical form, front which
he has suffered greatly. II is physician
despaired of his life several LIM'S ago, and
this morning at hall-past 7 o'clock lie ex
pired. Mrs. Lincoln's grief is beyond ex
pression, and the community generally
will sympathize with her in her deep afflic
tion. The remains have been removed to
the residence of the elder brother of the de
ceased, Rola. T. Lincoln, Esq., itia Wabash
avenue, where the funeral, to It,, hereafter
annottneed, will take place. The remains
will be taken to :Springfield for burial in
Oak Ridge Cemetery, where Ins father is
buried.
" Tad" Was over eighteen years of age.
lie has been rapidly developing into man

ties of mind and heart.

held to-day at the Astor house, t Colonel
Benson presiding), preliminary to the pro
jected mass meeting of Irish citizens of
New York to give expression to their opin
ion on the late riot and the conduct of the
authorities. The Following resolution was
adopted :
Recolved, That as an organization, repre
sorting in a great mea.snre the Irish soldiers
of New York who fought to maintain the
Government of the United States and dearly
gave substantial evidence of their respect
fur law and love of liberty, we deeply de
plore the events of Wednesday, and de
nounce as slanderous and unjust the out
potation directly made in many quarters,
supposed to be implied in certain official
acts of public officers, that the great body
of Irish citizens of New York are iu any
manner responsible for the occurrence;
that we fail to perceive in the published re
ports of these events evidence of any riot
ous combination too great or too widespread
for the civil power to subdue; and we
therefore believe that the employment of
militia and the tiring upon the people de
mand a searching and thorough investiga
tion.

eleven o'clock by the report of a pistol and
a scream. In a few minutes Charles

rushing along the street exclaiming, " 7
have shot my wire," " run for the doctor."
In a few minutes quite a number had col
lected at his house. They found his wife
lying on the bed suffering a good deal, but
not insensible. The doctor came and ex
amined the wound and found the ball to
have entered the right side, a short distance
below the breast. He could not tind the
ball, or tell exactly the extentof the injury.
It was found this morning to have glanced
around the ribs and lodged toward the
back. It is hoped she may recover. Mr.
Rukenbood is occupying a house in COll
nection with his store, which was robbed
some time ago, after chloroform had been
administered to Rev. Baker, who lived in
the house. This fact, together with the ab
sence of his partner, and his keeping the
keys,induced him tokeep a revolver under
his head. He had retired before his wile,
who had been reading at the window.
When she was ready to retire she blew out
the lamp, and In opening the window

Destructive Storms.
Destroyed by Lightning.—On Tuesday
the Ilth, about 4 o'clock, during the thun
der-storm, a barn on the estate of George
Tomlinson, near the railroad bridge, a
short distance east of this city, was struck
by lightning and burned down. The barn
contained about 400 bushels of new wheat,
which had just been housed, 12 or 14 tons-of
hay, 30 bushels of old corn, and some agri
cultural implements, all of which were lie
stroyed. Four men and six horses were in
the barn at the time it was struck, and
were all more ur less stunced, but not se
riously. There was also a keg of powder
in the granary, which was removed by Gen.
Tomlinson to a pl ace of safety while the barn
was burning. The wheat crop belonged to
Robert Tomlinson and was not insured.
The barn and other property destroyed,
valued at $2,000 or more belonged to George
Tomlinson, and was only partially insured.
A portion of the heavy stone wall of the
barn fell outwards during the fire and com
pletely enveloped a small stack of wheat,
thus saving it from the flames, which con
tinued to burn brightly until after mid
night, causing many persons to suppose
that some other building in the vicinity
was on tire.
The large frame barn on the farm of
Martin Greiner, a short distance west of
Mount Joy, was also struck by lightning
the same afternoon and entirely destroyed,
together with all its contents, consisting of
a large amount of hay and grain recently
harvested. We have not heard an estimate
of the loss or the amount of insurance.
A henry Rain Storm.—The intense heat
of Tuesday a week was followed by an un
usually copious fall of rain, acccompanied
by vivid flashes of lightning, heavy thun
der and a strong wind. The storm com
menced about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
and in a short time the whole city was del
uged with water, the gutters and sewers in
many instances being overflowed, and
ninny gardens throughout the city almost
washed away and ruined. The following
casualties have come under our notice.
South Water street received its full share
of the leakage of the floating reservoir.—
Scarcely a house from \Vest King street to
its extremity, but whose cellar had inure
or Ices water gratuitously poured into it.
Mrs. Irvin, a widow lady residing in a
block of six houses located near Vine, ap
pears to be the principal sufferer. The
waste-water ant filth from this block is
conveyed through a private sewer into the
main sewer running through Water street.
Unfortunately for the widow, the junction
forms, ilia it is the centre of the block, l iii
the rear of her domieile, and hero the six
connecting pipes or inlets from so many
out-houses, concentrate into one grand
main, which runs directly beneath the
floor, through, her basement or kitcken.—
The heavy discharge and overflow proved
too nitwit for - thisfrail receptacle, aid it
suddenly gave way—bursting almost as it
were in the centre the kitchen. The
highest point of illth and water was Is or
20 inches. Her carpet, no doubt is ruined,
besides other losses sustained. The prin
cipal sewer at the extreme end of said
street. was so completely choked up as to
cause the hack water to run into the shire
of Mr. Sebum, at an elevation of 4 feet.
The flood in the vicinity of West Orange
and Charlotte streets was very great, and
had the rain continued a little Itmger many
of the cellars would have been 'tilled with
orator. The storm abated just in time to
save serious loss In that neighborhood.
The residence of George Dietrich, North
Queen street above Walnut, was struck by
lightning, a few brick being knocked from
the chimney, and a few slates from the
roof.
A large and beautiful shade tree in front
of the residence of Samuel Diller, in South
Queen street, nearly opposite the Odd Fel
lows' hall, was blown down. It tell with
a crash, directly acroat the street, prevent
ing the passage of vehicles for some time.
Thunder .Worms—Lancsster and vicinity
were visited on Sondes afternoon and
evening by a aeries of severe thunder
stornta, the first of which commeneed at
about 3 o'clock and continued for about an
hour. It was kale wed about S o'clock by a
still more violent storm, the thunder being
deafening, the lightning blinding, the rain
pouring down in torrents and the wiml
blowing almost a gale. The :dorm lasted
only altont an hour, but was followed by
others of less severity, lasting until after 11
o'clock. The general course of the wind
seemed to be from northwest to southeast,
and it is feared that the oats and corn has
suffered severely along the track of the
stain from the united power of the timid,
the Wind, and perhaps hail.
In this city comparatively little damage
Was Jana. Luring the afternoon storm, a
large silver poplar tree in front of the resi
lience of Jacob Kauffman, South Queen
street. opposite (idol Fellows Hall, was
blown down, entirely blocking up the
street, but doing no other damage than
breaking a gas service pipe and tearing up
the sidewalk.
During the storm between Sand it o'clock
the willow tree in front of Mr. Spindler's
house, a few doors below Mr. Knottman's,
was also blown down and fell across the
street, which remained blockaded until the
next morning, when the obstructions were
quickly removed.
The chimney of Anton Sieber's house on
Love Lane, near ILoltinan's Ran Was struck
by lightning and somewhat damaged ; it
then ran down the stove-pipe to the stove
and broke it to pieces.
A tree opposite the residence of Henry
Markley, in Walnut street, between Water
and Jl nil berry streets, was struck by light.
nine, but no great damage done.
It is thought the lightning struck the
steeple of the Presbyterian church in Or
ange street. but no damage was done other
than the frightening of the neighboring
residents.
South of the city the etteels of the storm
were more disastrous. An unfinished frame
dwelling-house belonging to Ames Hol
linger, on ,he Willow :greet turepike, near
the tannery, was struck by lightning,
which broke the heavy girder ut the sec
ond story. 'laving 'lost this essential
brace the building was blown down by the
wind, Mr. Hollinger's loss will bo about
sl,f,uo.
Below Willow Street and as far South as
Quarryville, we bear of great damage to
the corn, tobacco and oats crops. Uu 5010(4
farms the tobacco is cut, to pieces by the
which fell in stones as large as hen's
eggs. :Much of the corn is cut off, and
the oats beaten flat to the ground. Between
the Black Horse and Quarryville, the de
vastation is said to be heaviest, the
country fora quarter of a MHO in width
being almost stripped of vegetation.
The residence of John M. Shenk, New
Providence had seventy-four window I i gilts
broken out of one side of it icy the hail.
In Millersville the large locust trees op.
posito the residence of John Brenner were
blown down by the wind' and carried
across the streets. Several trees on the
Normal School grounds were also blown
down.
The ti bacon warehouse of Levi Gross. in
East lieniplield township was blown down
by the wind.
'The lightning struck a tree on the farm
of Israel Landis, bast Lain peter township,
about two miles east of the city, under
which three cows and four heiffers had
taken shelter, and killed all of them. Mr.
Landis valued them at over S4OU.
Three line cows were killed by lightning
limier a tree on the farm of Jacob tirubor,
in Raptin township, about two miles from
Mount Joy. They were the only cows he
had.
The barn of John Sanders, Indiantown,
was struck by lightning, and considerably
injured about the gable.
VIN EYa HD 11ESTROYE13.--The many
friends of Charles G. (Muter, formerly of
this city and at present publisher of the
St. Louis Pence Correct, will regret to learn
that his extensive vineyards and orchards,
ten miles west of that city, were visited by
a terrific storm of wind and hail on Mon
day the 10th inst., and almost totally de
stroyed, it being estimated by the St. Louis
papers that 119 lost 50,000 pounds of grapes
and hundreds of bushels or peaches, apples,
pears, and other fruits. Ills vines were
trellised, and the violent wind preceding
the hail, turned then, up or tore them front
their stays, leaving the grapes exposed to
the pelting hail, which made quick work.
of their deilltilishlllent. Stone of the hail
stones were as large as hickory nuts, and
no human bring could have long withstood
their furious peltings. The ground of the
vineyard after the storm was covered With
hundreds of bushels of the fruit. The hail
in thousands of instances cut the meat of
the grapes clean front the seeds and stem:
Some of the trelliswork was blown clown,
and the vines were twisted into every con
ceivable shape. The windows of Mr. Gone
ter's house were broken by the hail which
beat against it as though a thousand men
were bombarding it with stones. llis loss
will be several thousand dollars.
Ham-Mrs DED Horse..—Saturday night a
horse belonging to Martin Gross, olliplira
ta, left its stable and walked up a steep pair
of stairs into the shed above, where he was
found in the morning Quietly - eating corn.
There are 12 or 15 steps to the stairway,
which has also a short turn in it, which
must have made it quite a task for the ani
mal lb ascend, and almost impossible to get
down. So Mr. Gross led the horse out on
to a platform under which he had placed a
wagon, the bed of which was full of hay,
and into this be tumbled the horse, having
assistants below to hold him in the wagon
where be fell. He was gotout of thewagon
without harm by upsetting it on a pile of
straw. Theincident was an odd one, and
30 or 40 persons were present to witness it.
BOY KlLLED.—During the storm of Sun
day afternoon, a boy named John Mil
ler, 14 years of age, son of Christian Mil
ler, went into a tobacco-warehouse belong
ing to Abraham Miller, of Manor township,
to escape the rain. The shed was blown
down by the wind and the boy crushed to
death in the ruins. Although he was miss
ed from home, and search made for him,
his death was not known until this fore
noon, when some harvest hands, finding
the oats too wet to cut, went to work to re
move the timbers of the shed and found
the dead body of the boy buried under it.
Coroner Dysart will hold an inquest on the
remains.

Sr. Joint's FREE CRIIRCII.—This church,
located, at the corner •of Mulberry, and
Chestnut street. was re-opened for Divine
service, on Sunday. It was closed on
the first Sunday in May, for the purpose of
thorough renovation and repair; anti in
the short time intervening has been so el
egantly remodeled under the efficient di
rections of Messrs. Isaac Diller, J. M: W.
Geist and William 0. Marshall, the com
mittee on renovation, that the congrega
tion will hardly recognize it as the same
building, when the bells call them to wor
ship, to-morrow. The rough, unfinished
exterior, over which . the ivy vines were
wont to trail, has been beautified with
three heavy coats of paint, while no less
than five coats of paint have been added
to the spire. The rooster which so long
occupied a place at the top of the spire, and
rom which the church was famiLarly
known as the "Shanghai" has been re
moved, and its place supplied by a large
gilt hand with the index finger pointing to
heaven. The hand is between 3 and 4 feet
in height, and is made of sheet copper cov
ered with gold.
Inside the church everything is new and
beautiful. More than a ton and a half of
the best white lead has been used in re
painting it. The Side walls are of a o,u iker
' drab color, and the arched ceiling of a deli
cate peach-blossom hue. The heavy ril s
of the gothic roof, and indeed all the wood
work of the interior, is grained in imitation
of oak. The graining of the pulpit, the
reading-desk, the chancel-rail and the pews
is particularly fine and reflects the greatest
credit upon Mr. M. McCnllon, by whom
the work was done. •The arrangement of
the pews has been remodelled. Instead of
two rows of pews and three aisles, as here
tofore, there are now but two aisles and
three rows of pews. By this change
there can bo seated in the church about
140 persons more than formerly. The
pews are all furnished with elastic
sponge cushions, covered with green terry,
and kneeling stools covered with the same
material and stuffed hair cushions. They
are of very superior quality and were
manufactured by W. M. Fisher, of Phila
delphia, and are the only ones of the kind
iu this city. The church is lighted
" Excelsior" reflectors, unlike any here
tofore introduced. Two of these are in the
body of the church near the ceiting,and eon
lain tell burners each ; another with eight
burners is in the chancel, and the fourth
with four burners is in the vestibule. They
were manufitetured tby Selanidl in A I iris
colls, of Philadelphia, and it is claimed
that they possess greater power of illumi
nation, with a less consumption of gas than
any others. The carpet is two-ply, red and
black, of an entirely new coral pattern, and
very pretty, and covers the entire auditor
inn, being perhaps the largest carpet in
one piece in the city. It was put together
anti laid liv our old friend Samuel Beam.
The pulpit and chancel furniture is ele
gantly trimmed with scarlet plush,the work
being done by James Miller, upholsterer,
of this city. Two improved ventilate
have been erected in the ceiling for the
regulation of the temperature of the chureh,
and are so arranged that in the shortest
possible time a great volume of hot or
impure air can be exhausted and its place
supplied with cool fresh air. A !together
the improvements are of the best
character, and reflect credit on those
having them in charge. The entire
expense of the repairs will probably
exceed $3,000, some $1,300 of Which is yet
to be raised; but as the church has been
entirely out of debt for twelve years past,
the Committee determined to keep it out of
debt, and so voluntarily assumed the -a
peeves attending the repairs.
DEATU OF PROF. Joni.: B. M
Our citizens were startled on Thursday by
the rumor that a despatch had been received
front Baltimore containing the intelligence
that Prof. John 11. Muller, the well-known
music teacher of this city, had fallen from
a third-story window of a hotel in that city
and been instantly killed. Inquiry proved
that the rutnor wasbut too well-founded; the
family of the deceased had received per tel
egraph, dated 1 o'clock that morning, front
their friend Mr. Conrad Freiman, the sad
announcement. The despatch contains no
other particulars. Mr. Muller left this city
for Baltimore, on a professional visit, on
Wednesday forenoon at 11:15, and probably
reached there safely before sundown. It is
supposed that sometime during the even
ing he retired to his room in the third story
of a hotel, and being a very heavy man,
weighing over 300 pounds, and being af
flicted with the asthma, lie becatne exhaust
ed hastened to a window to get the fresh
air, and losing his balance, fell out and was
instantly killed.
Mr. Muller was a German by birth and
about 52 years of age. lie had resided in
Lancaster for more than 30 years, and had
been one of our must successful teachers
of music. He was universally esteemed,
and his sudden death will be sincerely
lamented, not only by his bereaved rela
tives, but by the community generally. It
was his intention to have made a/visit to
his natiVe country in the course of a few
weeks, and a part of his business in Balti

STOLEN HORSE RWOV ER ED.—WO pub
lished, on Thursday, the particulars of the
stealing of a horse and ;buggy from the
stable of Mr. Abraham Brubaker, resid
ing on the Columbia turnpike, near the
first tel The stolen property was
recovered the someday in York by David
Brubaker, a son of the owner, and his
brother in law, Taylor E. Myers. It ap
pears that the thief, whose name is denies
Irvin, had been working during - harvest
for Mr. Brubaker, and was discharged on
Tuesday, his services being no longer re
quired. Irvin appears to have come to
(hie city on Tuesday night, and after get
ting his clothing from Mr. Elder's West
ern Hotel, where he was in the habit of
lodging, he returned to Mr. Brubaker's,
etole the horse and buggy, broke the luck
of the toll-gate Mi., silo of Brubaker's, so
11,4 to induce the belief that he came East,
and then struck for Columbia, where be
crossed the river at about ti o'clock, and
moved on to York. Through fear of dm
toction, probably, he abandoned the prop
ty at the Seven Stars Hotel, in that bor
ough and took the cars for Baltimore, and
has nut since been heard from; but, as
Messrs. Myers and Brubaker reached
York and recovered the property before
the thief hail time to get to Baltimore, and
telegraphed at once to the police authori
ties of that city, describing the thief, and
requesting his arrest, on the arrival of the
cars, it is more than likely that he has
been or will be arrested. The horse was
brought to this city on Friday. It shows
signs of having been driven severely, and
one of its knees is badly cut, probably
from stumbling or falling on the rough
pike.

( . .1,1-:,,.—The Mayor's office wie-t
4.11 Saturday the ',en... of a coupe nit i (veer
ea,eS. The first was that of lienjatu ill
Bowman, a respectable farmer residing
near Itampeter Square, anti a regular at
tendant at our markets. It appears that
last NVethiestlay morning Le brought to
market several hundred quarts of berries,
which were sold and delivered to a great
in um her of customers. A 'flung others Jay
Cadwell purchased and paid Mr a few boxes
which in the multiplicity of his engage
!items r. Bowman failed to deliver. This
morning he attended market again, and
meeting Mr. Cadwell, proposed to return
Min his money or furnish hint the berries.
Mr. Cad, ell would not aecept either pro
positions, but calling Llllllll eerge
policeman of the Second Ward, ordered
Iniw t. 41 arrest Mr. Bowman and take Mtn tin
the luck-up! And that"active,energetic and
I
obliging officer," without a warrant or any
other authority than Mr. C'ad well's request
or demand dragged Mr. Bowman away
from his market moot and locked hint up
inn the filthy dungeon under the City Hall.
In vain ;Mr. Bowman offered to pay the
elaint—in vain his friends, the substantial
farmers and market-men, who know Lim
well, offered to go his hail. He was luck
ed ttu and prevented from attending'
to his business front an early hour
in the morning until after P in't lock,
when he was taken before Recorder
Evans and dismissed. The case creates
a great deal of indignation, particularly
against Officer Cramer, and people are ask
ing each ether whether it is possible they
are liable to be arrested by au insolent
policeman, without any legal princess, sim
ply because suincb, ly makes I a vague
verbal complaint to the officer against
them. This is not the first illegal arrest
I made by Cramer, and it is about time he
was taught that he cannot take hold of re
spectable people and incarcerate them in a
dungeon on his own option, or on the mere
say-tot of an ex-jailor. ,Mayor Atlee should
punish his insolence, and Mr. Bowman
should prosecute him fur false imprison
ment
'fhe other queer ;case heard before the
Recorder on Saturday was in reference to
a disturbance which happened on Friday
its Water street, between Win. Holloway
and two brothers named David and Mat
thew Trapnell. It appears that David
Trapnell and Holloway were drunk, and
got into a tight, and that 'Trapnell beat
Holloway over the head with a billy or
other heavy weapon. After the battle bad
ended between them, Matthew 'frapnell
arrived on the ground and clubbed Hollo
way outrageously,' and in the opinion of
tune of the witnesses " would have murder
ed him . " had not law-abiding citizens in
terfered. And yet the would-be-murder
er was discharged by the Recorder because
there was no evidence that he W I L. , 1
"drunk and disorderly. - while his victim
was :lent to jail for 3t) days because he lions
drunk and disorderly. The magistrate may
have acted in strict accordance with the
law, as laid dome by Dogberry and other
illustrious jurists ; but tea reporter, un
learned in the lane, it appears that such de
eisions, which are not un frequent in the
liceortter's Court, have It tendency to make
people look with complattency on the pros
pective abolitiots of that alionialeus and
useless tribunal.
