CITY B
WEST PHILADELPHIA.- This morning
was clear, crisp, breezy and cold, still too
cold, unseasonably so, keeping everything
backward. The rain of Sunday was only a
temporary blessing, for to-day the dust is
sweeping from one side of every thor
oughfare to the other. We had laid out to
make a visit to Mr. Henry A. Dreer's green
houses; at Mantua, and his nursery, at Bel
mont; but were prevented from fulfilling
cur engagement by detention at the police
station in examining into the facts of a
most< painful accident that occurred last
night, at Thirty-first and Market streets,.
involving the death of a traveler. It
seemed that the man came over from Fair
mount with some friends, who, however,
did not remain to see him off. Happy had
it been for him had they done so, but
"Man proposes and God disposes." His
destination:was Cincinnati, Ohio. He regu
larly procured his ticket for that city and
awaited the leaving of the cars in a hotel
opposite the depot. The New
York train came along and fear
ing he would be left, ignorant as he was
of the locality, attempted to jump on one
of the cars while the train was in motion.
He was thrown under the wheels and in
stantly killed. His body was removed to
the station house, where it remained at the
time we left, awaiting the • coming of the
Coroner. He was utterly unknown. There
were no papers on his person by which. he
could be identified. On the . waistbaltd Of
his drawers the name - of "P. Coskaton" was'
marked. He had some CO in his wallet,'
now in the possession` of the police. He
was a man apparently about thirty-two
years of age, with light moustache and,
goatee. He had on a full suit of black—coat,
vest, pants and overcoat, with good under
clothing, knit undershirt, he. His ticket,
of course, was a general one, and bore no
name.:
The other police business had its usual
characteristics. Christy Kelley, Geo. Don
nellY, Mary Martin, Mary Donaghue and
James Wolfmerdal, were severally fined $3
for drunkenness, and discharged. Geo. Mat
thews, Mary Coltston and .Martha Mat
thews, whose goods had been levied on fi3r
rent, were held._ to bail for beating the Ward
Constable, turning him out of doors, and
keepingproperty. possession of the They
had no idea of being disposseissed.
At the Almshouse there were 21'admis
sions-16 male, 5 female; discharged 5-3 of
the first and 2of the latter sex; elopements
7-4 male and 3 female, with two deaths, 1
in the Men's Medical and 1 in the Nursery,
an infant of 3 monthil. Census-2,994 ; last
year, 2,539. Increase, 455.
FOUND DEAD IN HIS STOBE.—Charles
Young, the proprietor of a tailor store on
Twelfth . street, above Spring Garden, in
front of the Central Hotel, was found dead
this morning. There were rumors that
death, was the result of blows received on
Sunday afternoon. It seems that seve
ral men ", went into the Central Hotel
on that afternoon. They were drunk and
quarreled with the barkeeper. One of the
plirty,who claimed to be a Kentuokian,laid
his money on the counter with a pistol
beside it and offered to whip anybody.
About that time Young entered, and was
attadied, struck upon the head and knocked
down. The pistol was fired at him and the
ball passed through the floor of the bar
room_ into the cellar. The assailant of
Young was arrested upon a warrant pro-,
cured by Young, but yesterday the com
plaint was withdrawn and the man was
discharged.
Young, the deceased, who was a single
man, about 40 years of age, sometimes
slept in the hotel, but more frequently re
roamed in his store all night. Yesterday he
was about attending to his business as
usual. Last evening he was at a party
given in the neighborhood, and is said to
have drank pretty freely. He returned to
his store at a late hour last night, and this
morning was found lying upon the floor,
dead.
The immediate cause of death will be re
vealed upon the investigation, which will
be made by Coroner Taylor to-day.
FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-A. man
named Thomas Coskeagan was killed last
night about half-past eleven o'clock; by the
through Washington train, at Thirty-first
and Oak streets. He was observed by the
policeman running beside the train when
it crossed Market street, evidently with the
intention of jumping-on. After the train
had passed the officer went do wn the track
and soon discovered the hat of the man.
His coat soon turned up and at Oak street,
his body, shockingly mangled, was found.
The deceased had a ticket and a baggage
check tor Cincinnati.

A Simoom In and near Few York.
[From to-day% N. Y. Tribune.]
The sand-storm of Sunday afternoon,
which brushed this island in its north
western • flight. was quite a novelty, even
for this climate of strange mutabilities.
The weather throughout the greater por-.
tion of the day had been of a singular soft-'
ness and beauty, when, toward evening, the
black clouds rose from the sea, the wind
came in fitful gusts, shutters slammed,
awnings flapped, sign-boards creaked, and
the big drops of rain began to speckle the'
stone sidewalks, with every other indication
of a heavy storm.
At about 151 o'clock in the afternoon it
came upon us, a regular simoom, accompa
nied by thick clouds of sand, which the
wind had lifted from Coney Island, Sandy
Hook and other garden spots, and also at
tended by vivid lightning and quick crash
ing thunder. About one-half of New York
was over in Jersey at the time, taking lager,
whisky and the "pure air." The remaining
half appeared to be on the street, sporting
their Sabbath garments, returning from
late church service and engaged In equally
pions undertakings. Consequently the
storm took them "all of a heap," as the say
ing goes.
Our weather-clerk, looking down Broad
way, was first apprised of the tempest by
the phenomenon of what appeared to be a
water-spout of immense proportions, career
ing inland from the lower bay, but which
proved to be nothing more nor less than a
column of sand from the hillocks of Coney
and adjacent islands, borne aloft on the
wings of a cyclone. n a moment the storm
swept over the lower part •of the island.
The air, for a few seconds, was completely
filled with blinding dust, and, when that
cleared away, the unlucky passengers of
Broadway presented a melancholy spectacle
of chaos.
Thousands of both sexes and all ages were
in the street at the time. The sky was filled
with flying hats, umbrellas, mantillas and
shawls, with here and there an unlucky
"waterfall" rushing disheveled through the
air, with wild hair blowing behind. Men
were almost lifted off their feet; fruit and
pie-stands were emptied of their contents as
if by magic; little boys and girls were left
sticking in ite trees and lamp-posts like so
many dried leaves; and luckless ladies were
to be seen, like so many inside.out umbrel
las, struggling this way and that, and
vainly endeavoring to stem the scandalous
storm.
On the Jersey side, in Jersey City, Hobo
ken and elsewhere, the effects of the storm
were even more noticeable. Fences were
blown down, rose bushes unearthed,
awnings transformed into monster para
chutes, and shade-trees fairly twisted into
resembling jack-screws. The ferry boats
tossed about on the waves like egg-shells in
a tea-pot. Clothes lines were denuded of
their contents. The air was so- thick with
flying remnants of last week's washing that
one readily recalled
••My long lostatuiday breeches"
of Holmes's 'Wind in a Frolic," while the
manner in which snowy chemises, and
fennel -underskirts, ladles' drawers and
gentlemen's lower extremities jostled and
caressed each other in mid-air was some
thing which would have called a blush to
the cheek of the most vinegar-viaaged old
maid that ever declaimed at a WWoman's
Rights Convention.
The beer drinkers were caught in the
tempest on their return to New York, from
the drinking resorts of Hoboken, and, to all
appearance, they liked it even less than the
Excise law. There were probably more
Sunday hats lost from the Northßiver ferry
boats at that time than there were Sunday
drinks obtained in the metropolis during
the entire day.
One old lady was tumbled head-over
heels, and only recovered to see her crino
line sticking between the smoke-stacks of
the ferry-boat; while g young lady missed
her waterfall in the excitement, and only
set eyes on it again, as it flew through the
firmament after the manner of a comet with
a long trail of false curls trailing behind:
The tornado also extended through seve
ral counties, causing considerable damage
in the way of uprooting trees and fences
but, so far as we can learn, no lives were
lost, and no considerable damage was done
