"“S’XtaS °U h ile C 'the 'othe C r D portions Xl
mud, they con have their memories revived by
taking a trip over the Franliford end of the Finn

the company named asked peiraifision o .

Ind Third Streets Railway, which runs parallel
wUh the Fifth and Sixth Streets Road.and within
Tl wt distance ot it alone its entire route, and
v ivpufh'is it " terminus farther north than the
FiftVand Sixth Streets Road, had no difficulty
whatever in keeping its rails clear of snow during
the fecent storm, and yet upon its twenty-eight
miles of track it had but a single one of Smiths
natent ploughs employed. The Filth and Sixth
mtects'RaUway Company, with a shorter route
i iCCr v clear, used fivo machines of a patent held
"by itself, and now it asks for permis
sion to picklo its tracks! Why does it not pro
cure the effective machines that are in use upon
the Second and Third, Seventh and Ninth, Thir
teenth and Fifteenth and Seventeenth and Nine
teenth streets Railways,and keep their tracks clear
■without restoring the salt abomination, even in a
rural porlion of the city ? The experience of the
companies enumerated proves conclusively that
city railway tracks can be kept •clear of snow if
the fight kind of facilities arc employed for tho
accomplishment of that end, and companies that
refute to employ them go with a very had grace
to Councils to ask lor the restoration of an ex
ploded nuisance. But salt slush in the rural dis
tritls. like adversity, has its uses, as we' said at
thednsset, and it will do good by serving as .a
monitor to caution people against the general re
introduction of tho nuisance.
Fiek -ixJthk Sixth Ward.—'This morning'
about half-past one o’clock allre broke out iu the
upper part of a large five Storied structure,
known ns the “Franklin Building.” and located
Su the rear of Franklin Ilall, on Sixth street be
low Arcli. The building is occupied on the first
fioor bv Phineas Dow, machinist; second- story
l>v Smith c; Peters, primers; third story, by J as
if. Rodgers,- printer: fourth story, by Ma> hew
A Dodds. bookbiuders; fifth floor, by J. B. Kod
"cr« printer. The latter also occupies the greater
uonion of Franklin Hall, and is extensively en
gaged in mercantile printing.
Thfc fire originated at tlifl eastern end of the
fifth f-torv. and for some time raced very fari-
The firemen; however, succeeded iu con
iinluV the finincs to this room. The apartment
tT' nrrttv well gutted, and a portion of the root
<-f tbc building was destroyed. The machinery
iu the room was also badly damaged. In the
Mink rv considerable damage was done by_water.
'fbt kiss of Mr. Rodgers is estimated at SG,OOO,
-ml insured iu the Girard. I'nion, State of
Pennsylvania, Rellauce, and several companies
ie New. York. .. , , .
The loss of Mayhew A Dodds is estimated at
'ifa.i bO. and is insured i:i New 1 ork companies.
"The building belongs to-Mr. TilsoD, ot Boston,
and is damaged to the extent of about $-2,1100.
lii'-urcd. , , . .
The origin of the fire is not known, but is
J-ing ii>vi*tigatcd by. Fire Marshal Blackburn,
Tin-: Dickens Readings. —The sale of tickets
for extra course of Dickens’s readings took
place this morning at Concert Hall.
As on the former occasion, a string of men
formed themselves at the door, at an early hour
last night, and held their ground all ujght, de
. spite the severity of the weather. 1 At nine
o'clock this morning, when tho doors opened,
the line extended nearly tc Twelfth-street, and
•was apnarently composed in large measure ol
“operators,” who were freely offering their pin-,
cts in the liuo at high figures. The übiquitous
•Huffman, from Now York, veteran ol American
entertainments, waß early on the ground, but to
<\ll arnica/ mice, had nothing whatever to do with
what was going on. Huffman has been for many
years the great ticket-seller of America, and is a
. Napoleon in his particular line of business.
Other prominent dealers in tickets were also
flitting to and fro in tho crowd.
As there were but two nights - to sell, the sale
went oil'much more rapidly than the first, and
was expected to bo closed by one o clock. The
first sale was a very profitable one for the speca
latorii, and doubtless stimulated them to secure a
largo share ot tlie tickets to-day.
Arw.-jts Deiuso Jascabv.—The number of
arrests made by'the police of the city during the
month of January was against - 2,(!8C the
er.me, month in 1807, showing a decrease of 214.
The prisoners were divided among the several
districts as follows

Mariners’ Church.—'The Trustees of the East
burn Mariners’ Bethel, having sold their property
in its former inconvenient location, have recently
jVurehfiied aiOf on the sou thwest corner of Front
and Union streets, Philadelphia, upon which
they contempluto building n church. After pay
ing for the lot, they now have about $7,000, in
addition to about $l,OOO subscribed by the con
sregaiion, towards erecting a new house of wor
ship. It ia contemplated to have a plain build
ing, not costing, when complete,', over $20,000,
with stores on the first tloor (the rent from which
1 will assist to pay annual expenses.) The Rev.
James Boggs has been appointed to solicit sub
scriptions to aid in the erection of this Bethel,
where sailors and their lamilies may attend
worship.
AccHurjiT At a Theatre. During the per
formance at Fox's American Theatre on Walnut
street, one of the acrobats, named Brown, made
a very narrow escape from death. He was
swinging at full length aroniid a horizontal bar,
supported by two upright posts, when the latter
cave way, and the entire apparatus fell to the
stage. Brown was also throwp down with great
force, and fell upon his side. The scene was a
frightful one, and the audience was horror
stricken. It was expected that the performer had
been killed, but he soon got upon bis feet and
went behind the scenes. It was. then ascertained
that the only injuries which hef sustained were
some bruises on the body and a slight sprain of
the wrist.
The New German Theatre.—The subscrip
tions to the fund l'ov the erection of a now Ger
man Theatre in this city have reached $(17,000.
In addition thereto, $20,000 have been pledged
by a prominent German gentleman of this city.
Vlic executive committee having the matter In
ahnrge will meet this evening for the purpose of
taking action in the matter, and will probably
elect a board of directors, wbo will select a site
and cuter into a contract for the erection of a
first-class theatre,Kho cost of which wifi be one
hundred thousand dollars.^
Uni i.KASAKT Joking.—A party of young men
‘ got to skylarking in the Eleventh Ward yester
, dav. They bad some flour which they not only
scattered over each other, bnt also threw it into
the faces of passers-by. This was considered a
good joke, but a policeman arrested one of the
jokers, who gave his name as Geo. W. Atkins.
Tho prisoner. It is alleged, struck the officer, and
was held by Aid. Tolund on tho charge of & ssault
nod battery.
Larceny of Clothing, —A colored woman,
named Hannah Thurman, was arrested last even
ing, for stealing a pair of pants from a second
hand store, at Seventh and Lombard streets. She
was committed by Alderman Morrow.
Fred Ford was committed yesterday, by Alder
bian Morrow, to answer the charge of the lar
ceny «f a coat and pair of pants from a man
who roomed with him in tire'same boarding

The remaining ten miles will he Jinlahed oh eoon aa the
weather permits tho road-bed to be sufficiently packed to
receive the rails. Tho work continues to bo pushed for
ward in the rock cuttings on tho weatern slopo with un
abated energy, nnd a much larger force will bo employed
during tho current year than ever before. Pho prospect
that the whole

rency Interest, at the rate of *16,000 per mile for 617 miles
on tlie Plains; then at the rate of *lB,OOO por mite for 160
miles through the Rocky Mountains; then at therate of
$33,C00 per mile for tho remaining distance, for which tuo
United Statoß takes a second lien as security. The in
terest on these Uonds is paid by the United States go\ ern
ment, which also paja tho Company one-half the amount
of its bills in money for transporliug its freight, troops,

EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY.
At present, tho profit* of the Company are derived
only from it* local traffic, but this ia already much more
than sufficient to pay tho interest on ail tho Bouda the
Company can issue, if not another mile wero built. It i*
