■ * •"■ i* glorious celebration in houorof the “na
tion’s birthday.”
’ 1 ‘ On Saturday evening last, at the Sea View
, Hotel (the new Excursion House), a beautiful
gl disjplay of fireworks was given, under the di
fi ~ rc&ioim of Messrs. Horace Whiteman and
"William Cantlin, attaches ot tlierailroad com-
y T"' pally. These gentlemen, at their own cx
- - "pense, 'Procured tile; material for the exhibi
• tion.and conducted it iuainannoras creditable
- to themselves as it was gratifying to those who
; witnessed it. After the display a number of
the ladies and gentlemen present adjourned to
the' spacious parlor, where the band (Carn
. cross & Dixey’s) attached to the hotel dis
■ " coursed most excellent music. The company
. separated at a late hour, highly pleased with
■ the evening’s entertainment.
On Sunday evening a parlor concert was
given at the Sea View, in which Messrs. Prest
wich, Holden and Coxe, assisted by the band,
took part. The room was well filled, the
4 greater part of those present being ladies. .
Monday was a gala day. In the morning
the Ledger excursionists arrived; and were"
• welcomed by nearly all the residents of the
, 'place. There were some five or six hundred
people assembled around the porches of the
- hotel, anxiously awaiting their arrival, and
about half-past twelve they came. The tram
was drawn by two locomotives, and consisted
of. 21 cars, containing between 1,800 and
1,700 people—men,women and children. Alter
alighting from the cars, they took complete
possession of the hotel. The balconies, room a,
in fact, all the apartments, soon found occu
pants. After getting the dust off of them,
some strolled on the beach, others - bathed,
rode, etc. Shortly after one o’clock dinner
commenced, and was continued until about
half-past four, when all hands having satisfied
their appetites, the room was cleared tor the
dancing, which was kept up until twenty
minutes after seven, and at 7.30 the train, with
its tremendous amount of human treiglit,
started on its homeward trip. .
On Monday evening, at the Sea Side House,
located on' Pennsylvania avenue, Messrs.
Evans & Haines proprietors, a grand time
had. The house was beautifully illuminated,
Chinese lanterns of every shape and color
being hung in profusion over the house; the
doom and windows were all thrown open, the
rooms lighted up, etc., and the eflect was
splendid. Cameras & Dixey’s band was in
attendance. The proprietors gave their guests
the benefit of a very fine pryi-otechmc dis
play, and had a sumptuous collation prepared
in theii dining hall, to which some iO or 80
persons did justice. '
Adjoining the Sea Side House, oil Pennsyl
vania avenue, are the cottages of Dr. John
Bommel, Jr., D. O. Spooner, Charles Sterling,
Charles O. Hafielfinger, Louis Grosholz, J. L.
. IS ewbold, Mr. Heath and Daniel Donovan. All
these residences were handsomely illuminated,
and were in a perfect blaze of glory, as far as
fireworks were concerned. Taken altogether,
A it put one in mind of the way the Fourth ot
, .'.&••• j -July used to be celebrated in Professor Jack
• sonVtime inyom* city. The exhibition was
•*. certainly creditable to the above gentlemen.
'■?•■■■ So you can see that we have had any quantity
of 4th of July celebrations.
You can now run down to this place in one
hour and three-quarters. The railroad com
vpanv is keeping up with the times, running
live*trains daily to and from this place—David
H. Mundv, tlie efficient agent, being con
stantly at bis post looking alter the comforts
k. gf those who are to travel over the road.
f Horace Whiteman is an excellent secretary,
I and the Messrs. Alexander Boardinan, O.
I - Beecker, Archibald Fields, John Lee and
[ John Layer are all obliging and gentlemanly
conductors. They leave nothing whatever
‘ . undone that will in the least promote the
comforts of their passengers. So, with the in
creased facilities, etc., the railroad expects to
do an immense business, exceeding any ol
former years. • , '
Since the Excursion House has been com-
? leted.it has become quite a favorite resort.
n fact, people don’t go anywjieiejilse. There
, is music* iu the bouse eyery afternoon and
evening." And Mr. Konigmacher, the pro
, prietor, is very assiduous mMs attentions to
the visitors. The batliing and fishing is
splendid. Fisli are caught in abundance every
■day up along the inlet. II persons fail to enjoy
themselves here, it is certainly their own fault.
Yours, McC.
BREACH OF PROMISE.
' Tlie Spragne-Crnlgr Case—B*lo,ooo Taken |
Off or the Verdict. I
The Cincinnati Cowmerc/cdgives an account.
ITbf'theYevisionofthe Circuit Court, of "When- 1
ton, Illinois, of the Sprague-Craig breach ot
promise case, in winch it will be recollected 1
the jury gave Miss Sprague $lOO,OOO damages. I
The Commercial's report says:
“The Court then took up the question of ex
cessive damages, as it referred directly to the 1
present suit. He stated that courts would
rarely ever interfere or set aside a verdict of a 1
•jury in an action of this nature,unless it clearly I
appeared the verdict was the result of undue 1
influence, prejudice, or corruption; that in this
•* case there was no appearance of any corruption
on the part of the jury, and no claim of such. I
There appeared to be no undue influence, but
he was not prepared to say there was no preju
dice; the minds of the jury must havebeen pre
judiced by the course the defendant’s counsel
. assumed i'or their client, by holding him unite
be a miserable and unprincipled wretch. The
Court concluded by asking Mr. Tourtellotte,
of the counsel for Miss Craig, if he would re
idit. Mr. Tourtellotte agreed to remit $(10,000,
and the Court thereupon entered a remitter oi
the amount, leaving the verdict to stand
$40,000, and overruled the motion lor a new
, trial, entering judgment on the verdict lor
! r . “Upon the entering of the judgment Judge
V'" Peteis, one of the defendant’s attorneys, said
he would not appeal against the decision.”

CITY BULLETIN.
Mini. Cheek Sewer.— On Monday of last
weektliere was'a contract awarded to Chas.
J. and James F. Kennedy:for the construction
of n sewer, to be built in the Twenty-seventh
Ward, in the following streets:
: It will be upon the lines of Forty-third and
Sansom streets, beginning at the intersection
of the south line of Baltimore avenue with
Forty-third street, and terminating ator about
the west line 'of Forty-tourtli street, on the
line of Sansom street, with such minor
branches as may during its prosecution be
fpund necessary. It will be constructed in
rock and earth excavations, and also in the
open channel of Mill Creek. . ■
! In shape it will have a circular arch, twenty
feet span, upon abutments,with such batter,as
will, in a height of six feet , give ' a width ,ot
eighteen feet, fromwhich ivill spring a counter
arch, hating a versed Bine (or curveV of two
feet four inches. Both arch and counter arch
will be eighteen inches. thick, built
of brick. The abutments in the rook
excavations are to ,be of the same,
material and thickness as the arch and counter
arch. Where the sewer runs through the open
channel of the creels a stone cradle will he re
quisite, and the abutments will be of stone,
laced with brick, thirteen inches in thickness.
The material used ivill be of the best and most
substantial kind; where brick-work is neces
sary, there will be no half bricks or bats used,
and the stone used for the cradle must be ap
proved both as to quality and size. In the
rock cuts the main arch will be twenty-iour
feet in diameter, ' . . . „ „
The contractors propose starting in the tall
with the work. This is very large, and one
of the most expensive sewers that have been
built in Philadelphia for some years, and we
hope the contractors will look to the interests
of the residents in the Twenty-seventh Ward.
The people residing in that section of the city
deem it necessary to have a culvert of these
dimensions, in order to carry the large quan
tity of stagnant water, that collects in different
places dunng stormy weather.
YorrltFci. Incendiaries.— A one-story
brick office on Broad street, above Wood, was
destroyed bv fire about half-past two o’clock.
It was"owned by Wm. G. Caldcleugh, and was
unoccupied, having been recently vacated by
Wm. Wester, lumber dealer. Two youtlis,
named Ilobert Devine', aged fourteen years,
and James Collins, aged ten years, were ar
rested by order of Fire Marshal Blackburn,
upon the charge of having fired the premises.
The evidence shows that the lot, which was
formerly used for a lumber yard, has been con
verted into a play ground, i esterday after
noon about one hundred boys, of all ages,
gathered there for the purpose of playing
ball. While the game was in progress,
Devine and Collins slipped into the
office, the rear door and window of which
were open. A drawer in a desk contained a
lot of old papers, and on the top of the desk
was a lamp partly filled with coal oil. The
juveniles took the lamp, poured the oil over
'the loose papers, and then applied a lighted
match to the pile. They then closed the door
and window and joined in the game of ball.
In a short time the smoke oozed out through
the cracks, and a cry of fire was, raised. All
of the boys then rushed to the “Western En
gine liouse and assisted in talcing the hose-car
riage to the scene of the fire. The accused tell
the same story in regard to the origination of
the fire,but?.say that it was a man wlio arranged
the jiapevs anil set them on lire. The aileghd
incendiaries ‘S ere locked up for a hearing.

Gp.kt*—A persistent but unsuccessful effort was'mada
on (be night of May 29,18C9, to grill (be Bankers'Chest
received from you a few months ago.
From facte that have come to our knowledge, it igovi
dent that the attempt to open it Was renewed on Sunday
evening following. Finding all effort* to drill it use
less, tbo effort was.thcn'mode to break the lock The
hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood
for several hours, bat supposing it to arise from tbe
railroad men replacing a defective rail, excited no
. nl.vrm.e The tools, with (he exception of the drills, were
left. It is evident that they were not only prepared, bat
perfectly familiar with the construction of yoar Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that yoar
Bankers’ Chests are what yon claim for them—Burglar-
Proof. • Bespectfuliy yours,
