EVENING BULLETIN.

Toe CITT'IE newr.
Year after' year the .commerce and the
'business reputation of Philadelphia have been
-permitted to suffer incalculable loss by the
failure of the Trustees of the City Ice Boat
to do their duty. Last year the ice-boat had
been "thoroughly overhauled;" and was put
to work after the river was securely closed,
only to demonstrate its utter inefficiency.
Its efforts to raise the ice-blockade at the
Horse Shoe were on a par with Hrs. Par
tington sweeping the Atlantic Ocean out of
her way with her broom. Winter has again
set in, and again we are told that the ice
boat is now flilly equal to all emergen
cies.. New boilers and extensive repairs
have removed the difficulties expe
rienced last year, and the important
work of keeping open our highway to
the sea is to be done in the most masterly
manner. Only it does mit begin. The
weather is bitterly cold and if the channel is
not already blocked up, it will , be in another
twenty-four. hours. The Ice-boat is snugly
laid up in her berth, or was yesterday, and
when the work begins, we may reasonably
expect the same results as in former years.
The. Ice-boat will pick away at the upper
line of the gorge, and the broken ice will
remain stationary,to freeze up again as soon
as the boat hauls off, for the simple reason
that there is nothing else for it to do.
The absurdity of laying the boat up above'
the Horse Shoe has been demonstrated year
after year. The tide cannot carry off the
broken ice, and what little progress is made
in the
,day bloat in the night by the re
freezing of the floating mass. The Ice-boat
should be laid up at Cheater or some other
point down the , river, and put to work
en the very first appearance of ice. If
a sudden snap of cold weather should
close the river in a eingle night,
the ice could be easily loosened from.
ihe lower side, and would be rapidly floated
off by the tide. This is the plain teaching of
common sense, but the Trustees of the City
Ice-boat "can't see it." It will Rem incredible
to most of our readers, but it is a fact, that
up to yesterday they had not even engaged
an engineer. They probably intend doing
so after they) are Aill3T assured that the river is
hopelessly blockaded, and then they will
come out with\ idle excuses and reasons
for their neglect of a most important public
duty.
If it was necessary that the Delaware
should be closed every winter, and her whole
commerce destroyed for months together, the
public would submit to the inevitable, and
accept the situation , with patience. But
there is no such necessity. The Delaware
can be kept open during the severest winter,
and It is the fault of the Trustees of the City
Ice Boat and those who appoint them, that
this annual loss of business and commercial
reputation is inflicted upon Philadelphia. it
Would, be better and cheaper . to have half a
dozen Ice-boats at work, day and night, in
the Delaware, than to submit to having 'hun
dreds of sailing vessels and steamers frozen
up all winter for the want of a little enter
prise and energy. The whole com i rtmity
has an interest in everything that aff ts the
business reputation of Philadelphia, and has
the right to complain when those who are
entrusted with public duties-fail to perbrm
- them properly. If the present Trustees of the
City Ice-boat are too busy or too indifferent
to attend to their important work, let them
resign at once and let Councils give the work
to others who will do it well.

The correctness of the EVENING BULLETIN
eiposing the character of tie Gettysburg
Orphan Asylum scheme, his just received a
fresh- endorsement at the hands of
_Mr. Van
Wyck,ot New York,who has denounced the
fair in Congress as "one of the most infa-
MOUS frauds and swindles ever sought to be
perpetrated:under the guise of charity."
Mr. Van Nyek exposes the fact that the
great 460,000 farm, offered as the first prize,
is in his district, and is not worth $6,000.
Be states, furthermore, thal"the diamonds
which constitute the other prizes are weirth•: ..
less stones, which were used some - years ago
to cheat a New York tobacconist out of
$200,000.
This is all in accordance with the position
taken last efiling by Attorney-General Brew
liter, whet& he first denounced this whole.
Wieme as wicittery; and yet it appears that
the epannissioner of Internal Revenuelas
relieved this concern from the payment of
fluty, and the Postmaster-General has written
i,

ea rose made by Mr. Van Wyck phould lead
him to such prompt and, energetic action as
will not only repeal the improper legislation
by which,the, charter was procured, but will
prevent a recurrencepf it for the future.
The subject of the artificial' heating of city.,
railway cars is exciting considerable atten
tion in this cold weather it , have a
beenveral
sent to
com
munication§ concerning have
the BULLETIN. There are difficulties in the"
way of this artificial heating, most prominent
among which is the want of space- in which
to place a sufficient heating apparatna and at
the same time allow passengers to keep a
safe distance from the fire. The heating of
city railway cars would be of questionable
utility, even though it were entirely-practi
cable. The average time spent in a car on a
single trip scarcely exceeds fifteen or
twenty minutes, and passengers who
go abroad' in winter and , who can
indulge in the luxury of car-riding are
usually clad warm enough to endure the
frosts of the interior of the car for so brief a
rriod. Besides this, there is such a dread
pure air among very many people that
some thin-blooded mortal would insist upon
having every door and window shut, not
withstanding the fact that the stove might'be
red-hot, The liability to vertigo and the
other ills incident to breathing a vitiated at
posphere, is well understood by every; per
son who travels in all American ridlrorul car,
or who goes inside an American church, lec
ture-room or concert-hall. Considering all the
advantages'and disadvantages resulting from
heating city railway cars, passengers would
probably be better off in the enjoyment of
reasonably, pure air, even though it be at the
risk of an - occasional chill.
Hogarth's quaint conceit of exhibiting a
stupidly vindictive fellow in the act of saw
ing himself off on a tave.in sign, during an
election riot, has been. outdone in the at
tempted rescue of the Fenian Colonel Burke
from Clerkenwell prison, London. The
Colonel.was in limbo, and the highly ingeni
ous plan of blowing• up the entire establish
ment, Colonel and all, was hit upon Ells a way
of liberating the distinguished Fenian. The
result is seen in scores of wounded innocents,
while the Colonel remains secure in du
rance. There is no doubt that the Fenians
are terribly in earnest; but, taking
the organization as a whOle, it could
not make itself more ridiculous if its object
was to enact a broad farce upon a large
scale, in stead of getting up the grand, dra
matic spectacle of the liberation of Ireland.
If ever the green isle throws off the British
yoke, it will be through more judicious
management than has yet been shoals by
any Fenian movement, from the masterly
blundering (drworse), of Head Centre Ste
phens and "President" Roberts, to the blow
ers up of Clerkenwell prison. Poor Ire
land ! She may well exclaim: "Save me
from my friends !" •
New York will do things upon a large
scale. In the way of marders, conflagrations,
robberies, &c., it does things by wholesale
and it gets up a piece of damage or deviltry
on the same stupendous plant hat it piles up
Democratic majorities. Yesterday morning
in broad daylight the clearing clerk of the
Bank of the State of New York was seized at
Wall and 'William streets, dragged after
a sleigh, and after being considerably
beaten, he was robbed of his satchel.
The satchel contained about three
millions of
,dollars in checks and drafts,
and five hundred dollars in money. The
scamps will realize upon the currency, but
the checks will be useless to them. This sort
lof forcible`abduction of a lad in the face of
d 4, and the unceremonious appropriation of
the properfite haft in charge, is worthy of
the boldest exploits of the swell mob of
London. • •
The opinio n "expressed by Judge Wood
ward in Congress, yesterday, that "the word
'misdemeanors,' as used in the Constitution,
meant not a violation of law, but miscon
duct in office, knowingly done to the preju
dice of the public or' of individuals," is an
important reinforcement of Boutwell's
argument on impeachment. It takes pre
cisely the same ground, and coining from a
late member of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, will command much awoke is
Congress. It is . , ,foroinate, however, that
Judge Woodwinl 4, .Tild have withheld his
opinion• untiU,.: of no value to Mr. Dant
well and ti‘friends. It looks very mt . ,* tit
if the lawyer had been held in abeys. - it.. ,

tiliw Toni:, December 1", 18n7.—Every winter
we have a storm wilder; fiercer, and in every way
greater than any previous -storm the oldest In
habitant can remember. What will it be fifty
years hemee? The oldest inhabitants are getting
ptuszied. The great storm of Thursday upset all
calculations. It was, of course, unlooked-for
thus early in the season, and all aorta of inconve
niences, and even suffering, have resulted. The
snow began falling about one o'clock Thursday
morning and continued till a Late hour owFriday
night. Before noon, of Thursday, the wind rose
to almost a gale. At two o'clock Thursday
morning the thennometer marked 35, at eight A.
M.lB, and at noon 10 degrees above zero. This
was remarkable weather for the season of the
• year, for this city. The snow Icon impeded
travel on the railroad routes and ferries. Toward
night some of the street railroad Unaware obliged
to stop ,running. The snow was so blinding
that on some of the longer ferries the pilots were
forced to "feel" their way to the slips and go
ing by guess in some instances, pass ed several
ships out of the route. All the railroads center
ing here have suffered. They could not, of
course, pretend to keep "time," and on a num
ber of the trains, the woodgiving out, the pas
sengers eu ff ered intensely with the cold. On a
Hudson river train, which was ever so many
hours hi coming from Sing Sing, the supply
of firewood being exhausted, the passengers,
somewhere below Dobb's Ferry, made a raid on
somebody's gegid board fence, and therefrom re
plenished the fires. It is said no fence was ever
more quickly demolished. Thus far we have
heard of few serious accidents resulting from the
storm. Today everybody or everybody's proxy
has been shoveling snow. Shovels are at a
York
comes out of the snow•sirifla with even exhilara
tion. Sleighing is a hazily here, for the thou
sands of heavy drays and cabs soon spoil the
.deepest snow, and so the people are improving
the present. ,OrdinarY travel is being resumed,
amid by to-morrow the great snow storm would
be forgotten save for the inevitable slush. '
The Fifth Avenue Theatre murder caused more
,exeltement loads city than any similar crime
for a long time. In brief the !story is this: Kelly
and Leon were proprietors of the Minstrel Hall,
230. 720 Broadway, and Samuel M. Sharpley
owned the Theatre Cornique. Sharpley had heard
that Leon had reported him to be bankrupt.
Mile of course caused "bad blood," which was
thickened by an alleged unfairness on the part of
Leon in engaging dancers. The several parties
accidentally met atthe matinee at the girth Ave
nue Theatre. After the, performance, Sharpley
demanded a retraction from Leon. This led to
angryarorde. It is said Sharpley called Leon a
liar, when Kelly interfered to shield his partner.
Sharpley immediately .struck Kelly. Thomas
b'harpley, S. M.'s brother, came up at this mo
ment, and Kelly says the two brothers and Alli•
son,.the'Traisurer of the Fifth Avenue Theatre,
were nil lacating and - kicking hind at one time.
Kelly atlength gained his feet and fired a re
volver at Thomas Sharpley, who fell dead. Sam
uel Shar . pley then firedon Kelly,the ball entering
• the head above the left ear, and lodging in the
left temple. Ito attempted to.fire at Kelly again,
tbut was prevented by a policeman, and the ball,
;being discharged, lodged to his own hand. It is
Ithought Kelly will recover.
Charles Dickens, of course, causes a great stir
In many cireles here. He has bee 4 warmly re
exived.r The enthusiasm of his reception is in
.sking contrast with the critical kindness
:shown him by the. Bostonians. it has little of
the toadyism of his reception here years ago, but
is :Tie, earnest and warm. it in the greeting
onegiven a true friend.. The people, in the ap
pe to "MartinChuzzleivit," may find all this
chronicled in a way euggesting contrast with the
records of ' that book. "Jefferson Brick" (some
people will insist that Dickens had an eye to the
K. Y. !Jerald) of course feels ,sore-headed, and
plainly says so, but then people don't mind him.
The readings are heard by full houses, and are
a plauded ill a Way which must be welcome.

OF THE
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD,
Running West, from Omaha
ACROSS TILE CONTINENT,
ARE NOW COMPLETED.
This brings the line to the eastern base of the Rocky
mountains, and it is expected that the track will be laid
thirty miles further, to Evans Pass. theblgheot point on
the road, by January. The maximum grade from the
foot of the mountains to the summit is but eighty feet to
the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one
hundred. Work in the rock.euttirwas on the .western
elope will continue through the winter, and there in now
no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa
cific will be open for berinv.a In
The means provided for the cematructian of this Great
National Work are ample. The United States grants its
Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from eId,OCO to 1848.0e0
per mile, for which It takes a &mond lien as security, and
receives payment to a largo if 4 1 the full extent of its
claim in services. These Bou' P re issued as each
twenty-mile section is finished, and after it has been ex.
amined by United States Commissioners add pronounced
to be in ail reSpeets a first-class road, thoroughly supplied
with depots, reparr.shope„ stations, and all the necessary
rolling stock and other equipments.
The United States alio makes a donation of 12,1300 acres
of land to the Mile, which will be a source of large re
venue to the Company. • Much of this land in the Platte
Valley Is among the most fertile in the world,. and other
large portions are'covered with beivy pine foredo and
abound in, coal of the beat quality. •
The Company is also authorized to issue its own Fiat
Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the Bane of the
Government and no more. Eon. E. D. Morgan and lion.
Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholdernand deliver
the Bonds to the' Conipany only as the work pro
gresses, so that they always represent an actual and pro.
ductivo value.
The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred
Million Dollars, of which over live millions have been
Paid in upon the work already done.
EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY.
°At present, the profits of the Company Are derived
only from its boost traffic, but this is already much more
thin sufficient to pay the intereet on all the Bonds the
Company can teen. if not another mile Were built. it is
not doubted that whop the toad is.completed the through
traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pati
ne, States will be large beyond precedont,and as there will
be no competition, it CAA alweye be done at profitable
rates.
It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is, in
fact, a toverninent Work, built under the supervision of
Government officers, and. to a large extent with Go
vernment money, and that . Eta bonds are issued under
Government drction. It is believed that no similar
security is so c. ref ully guarded, and certainly no other is,
based up a Inner or more valuable property. As the
Company'
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
are offered for the present at 90 (FITS ON - THE DOL-

LONDON', December 14th,—The pollee author',
ties this morning report three persons killed and
about forty badly Injured by the, Clerkonwell ex
plosion yesterday. ,
The excltementin this city last
~evening was
very great, and'nearly all the morningjournals
to-day have editorials on the subject.
The entire press seems to be of the opinion
that the time for lenity towards the Fenians has
passed. The Times is particularly decided in its
remarks, and closes a lengthy article with the
following words; •
"Let there be no more dlemene'y Toifenianism,
which is a, mixture of treason and usatasioation."
Rumors are current that Colonel Kelly, the
Fenian prisoner who Was rescued at Manchester,
is la England, notwithstanding the stories to the
contrary, and that he is still 'directing the,movi-;
ments of the Fenian Brotherhood. , There are :
diode who openly melt that the explosion at
Clerkenwell was the result of Otte of Kelly's;
schemes. '
The invcsalgtitiOn of the Ordnance
tapecial Despatch ,to the Philadelphia Evening Salletin.l
WAsinsoron, Dec, 14;--The sub-committee
appointed by the Joint tominitteq, on ,Ordrumee L
bad another meeting to-day, and:continued in- i
vestigating the alleged Amsterdam projectile'
fraud. The c ominittee , adjourned until Thurs
day next, for the purpose 'of procuring further
testimony and papers relating to the case„ - , Frqm
the facts already brought to light by the-inves--
tigation of this matter it seems probable that the
report of the committee will contain 'several
statements highly damaging to the character and '
reputation of men now occupying protninent
positions under-the Government. Enough has r
been discovered to 'establish the fact
that a regular: ring existed during the, war,
which controlled the action of the Government
to a great extent, in the'purchase of projectiles.,
TIM evidence to-day shows that: at the head of.
this, ring was a man new occupying an, import
ant place in the Ordnance Department, and as
sociated with him was a gentleman now a mew
ber of the Cabinet, together with several mem
bers of Congress.
