Alaska Street, and Tleinity.
On Saturday evening, the present Grand Jury pro
ceeded to the Bedford Street Mission Honae, preparatory
to mafehiff a tour among the liqVolb located in that
vicinity, in order to act nnderritandingly in any bill they
may frame or suggestion they may make.

THE.TOUR. ... *
■yjb After the reception of the Jury nt this place, thotmir
Inspection was commenced nndor the escoitof two
‘ '‘wixcelleut police officers, Sergeant Jolin Duffy and John
AScCnllongb.tho last named being especially delegated
„ Tjrhis Honor Mayor Fox to attend to lh \ Sli "“' < "''‘“ d
'it* vicinity. These olßcers have hard work teporform.
‘ ' Their dntles are disagreeable, much more ao than those
•f any other two police officers. So far they havo had
tbe nerve to enforce tho law, and each of them, on
* 1. (oternl occasions, bos narrowly escaped .assassination.
A MIXED rOI’ULATIOJf.
jhe first place visited by tho Grand Jurora wna at 613
'fcflkWnth Seventh street. Uerc was a motley assemblage
bf“black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray.
The jurors wore astonished upon beholding a hetero
:'£k Mucous mass of black and white people,indiscriminately
iJ** associated togother in all manner of positions, and all
r?- ' leastly drunk. Five mlnntcs sufficod the. official visi
/ tors to make themsolvcs aegnainte d with fucts and
, over which we drop the curtain.
■aSk'jjk oiiikk ny.'ivs,
W y Th ey next proceeded to house 617 South Seventh street
doors below. Hero pretty much tho same degraded
W*<Slß#icture was presented, from which morality would turn
tfiaSir Mtds, and at which humanity would shudder. Two o.'
' three minutes’ contemplation of tho sccno of degrada
tion satisfied the jurors, and then they proceeded to 1> or
ators' place, at the corner of Seventh and Shlppen
streets, Aa the jurors entered this cstahlishmcnt a
young man, k D own by the soubriquet of “Kid, ordered
the doors to be closed, and in giving this order in a
somewhat impetuous manner, rather "Kited the
indignation of some of tho visitors . The youthful Kid
-was at once given to understand that lie might he sent
below” without much trouble. He simmered down and
became as docile as a lamb. This place, liko the others,
Is a popular resort of vicious oreaturos, and sometimes
they aro rather roughly used. Frequently angry alter
cations occur here, and the belligerents, with disfigured
faces, blackenod eyes and maahed nosea,are pitched into
thoatreot. A few days since aman in tbiß place had one
of his ears cut nearly off, and in this condition he was
sent reeling and bleeding into the public street.
• At another place pn Seventh street, below Shlppen, the
picture of pandemonium was somewhat changed. Here,
on the floor, lay a mass of legs, arms, bodies, headstall
. mixed up so much together, that it was rather difficult
to, tell‘‘t'other from which.” This jumbled-up and
prostrated pyramid of humanity had iallen under the
effecta of “ rifle-cut whisky,” capable of killing at a hun
dl The house next door below was also visited, but thorp
were only two or .three persons present, the crowd of
“bummers ” having already been turned into the street
by tho proprietor, who “ likes to keep a decent place.
. This is a great resort fortbe degraded whites who enter
tain a repugnance towards tho other race.
The jurors by this time were becoming gumewha.
familiar with the Bad spectacles,but there were others in
store for them of which thoy little dreamed. They visited
MI oyster-house, located on Eighth street, below Eme
tine street This popular resort of colored thieves and
• abandoned women fa kept open a. all hours of the nighri
White people do not go there aa a general thing. This
place to some of the jurors looked like one of the gate
way* to perdition. On Emelina street is a grocery and
tavern', kept' by ‘a white- man, whose customers are
colored- themPst degraded kind, ne, however, closes
his establishment at an early hour, and his visitors must
sack other places for the night. In that locality this is
oo&idered a respectable resort for “colored citizens.
Another place, at Emelins and Eighth streets, is ofcen
nil night Blacks and whites intermingle here, but they
•are of that class who have due or two more rounds In tho
ladder of infamy before reaching the degraded level of
those previously introduced in this brief and unpretend
iug narrative.
. . BEVSXTII AND BEDFORD STREETS.
Tho jurors once more regained tho open air, and pro*
coeded to Seventh and Bedford streets, whore they on
- -- fared a “popular resort for 'colored gantiemen.” Here,
amid the fumes of bad Jobaeco smoke, anil a stifling at
moßPhere, were assembled around dirty tables the
“colored gentlemen,” engaged in playing “seyenjup or
“old sledge,” with packs of cards so greasy that it was
rather difficult to distinguish a heart from a diamond, or
a club from a spade. These “gentlemen” were gambling
for money j without restraint.
A CLERICAL LANDLORD.
The next place Tleitcd was a elicll of a lionae,63o Bed
ford street, having 14 rooms, including those in the cel
lar Thejurors raid an underground visit, where they
found six occupants, who had little or nothing to say.
The building is owned by the Beverend, Mr, Bddy, a
colored Methodist minister. Hie agent is a Mr. Long
fellow, a colored dentist, who rents out the rooms at
tho rate of 36 per month to a mixed race of people of
all ages. The building is not worth over two hundred
dollars, yet tho income Is about a thousand dollars per
annum, derived from the vicious people, who have de
scended low intbescale of human degradation: and yet
in this miserable admixture of the human races may oo
casionally be found poor colored womenjwho try to make
an honest living. In regard to number the colored pro
dominate.
VICTUALS ASP .BRINK
vif now take the reader to the next place visited by
the jurors, that of Barbara Arnold, a good-natured
Gorman woman, who keeps a tavern and eating-saloon
on Bedford street, below Seventh. She tarnishes meals
to mixed crowds of white and black people, and closes
at seasonable hourß. Barbara ia an expert equestrienne.
She owns a 31,000 horse, and on line afternoons indulges
In a ride. She considers the wooden pavement hotter
than the old cobble stones for safety and speed of horses
fThis woman dresses with great taste, and has excited
no little comment on Broad street on pleasant Sunday
afternoons. ~ ■"
“THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
The jurors also visited a notorious dance-house or
St. Mary street, above Seventh, where all sorts of speci
men* of the colored populutiou were engaged indunclng.
They seemed to ho highly honored by tiie presence of
such distinguished visitors. One of the dancers danced
“do Juba” in return for the visit. This whs rather an
unexpected entertainment. There were about thirty
persons present. The "ballroom,” illuminated with
gas, is located in the lirst story hack i tligfront being oc
cupied as a grocery a'ud tavern. The establishment is
under the charge of a white man. -
Among other places visitod was that of tlie“ Colored
Giantess,” known as " Big Gabe.” She entered very
familiarly into conversation with the jurors, but
assumed to ho very strict in receiving any visitors. . One
of the Grand J urors happened to be locked lit, and con
siderable coaxing had to be done before she consented to
open the door to admit him. This woman,is a fair speci
men of the dark-skinned race, and prides herself on the
fact that she is “ some pumpkins.”
Ono of the worst places visited wa« on Bedford street,
above Seventh. This is-a place of resort for young
thieves, tho proprietor being a perfect" Fagan.” The
inmates arc young in years, of both sexes, and several
shades of color, from pure white to very dark, and are
adepts in pilfering whatever they can conveniently lay
their hands spoil.
The jurors visitod a number of other places of similar
character to those already noticed,and by the time they
finished their tour of inspection they saw sights they
never evei dreamed of, and perhaps caiuo to the con-
clusion! that a House of Correction it greatly needed,
aud that a fearful responsibility rests upon the souls'of
! those who have it in their power to erect one aud are
still holding the subject back.

The Broad Street Improvement.—The
Supreme Court of this State ha* unaniraoubly determined
to re hear the argument in the cubo of Hammitt vs. The
City of Philadelphia. It will be remembered that in this
tho Court decided the net ot the23d of March, 186$,

constitutional, on the ground that, property-holders
- could pot he taxed for u second pavement, haviug

been given to the matter by means of our newspapers

“Bie Mistake! of a Night”—Wooden
Pavements.
.' [By Hasson’s News Agency.)
New York, Nov. 30.—The reported arrival
of the Scotia at att" early hour this morning
was an error by the night operator at Sandy
Hook, who mistook her for the Poriere, the
night being clear and the steamer’s lights
showing very indistinctly.
Proceedings were instituted to-day by the
owners of tho Nicolson patent for wooden
pavement to recover $60,000 from the city for
tho construction and use of the so-called Mc-
Goniglo pavement, which, it is claimed, is an
infringement of tho Nicolson patent.
A similar suit was tried lately in Chicago,
and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff of
$lO,OOO, from which the city appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States, but after
a consultation and deliberation abandoned tho
appeal and paid judgment.
New York, Nov. 30.—Mr. Richardson's
condition to-day is very critioal. The inflam
mation of the wound has not increased, and
he has ceased vomiting, but his strength! has
failed since yesterday, and ho is quite weak
and exhausted. His physicians are hopeful,
but fearful.
Pension Frand—Sentence Cominnted.
Albany, Nov. 30. —Jesse T. Reynolds, a
lawyer and claim agent, of "Watertown,
Jefferson county, was arrested, to-day, and
brought before United States Commissioner
Frotningham, of this city, charged with
forging pension papers. In one case, it is
chargod, ho had drawn for two years the
pension of a deceased person.
Tho fraud is claimed to have beon devel
oped through the new system adopted by
some pension agents, under the approval of
the Department, of sending checks directly to
the pensioner instead ot forwarding them
through claim agents. The accused was held
to answer in $lO,OOO. 1 , , <

THE COURTS.
The Seibert Homicide.
Ovri: and Terminku—Judges Peirce and - Paxaon.—
Tile case of Philip Flanigan, charged with tho murder
of Col. James G. Seibert, was commenced yesterday at
tornooH'. and tlm Commonwealth J 8 testimony occupied
the attention of the Court until six o clock. On behalf
of the Commonwealth, it wae alleged that on the night
of September 32th (Supday), the deceased spent the
afternoon nnd evening at the house |of Air. B. Horn.
The two left the hou«© together and reached
the tavern at Thirteenth and Wood at quarter past eight
o'clock. Alter taking a drink they came upon the pave
ment, whore they were attacked, Col. Seibert being
knocked down and ao injured about the head that he was
rendered insensible and died two days afterwards. Mr.
Horn identified Philip Flanigan as one of the two men
who made the attack, while the proprietor ofthe tavern
testified that he reoognized the voice of the prisoner out
side declaiming that he could whip any man who
weighed 12S pounds, and directly afterwards heard a
heavy fall. Twoboyy who were in the neighborhood
testified that they saw Flanigan cross the street to Col.
Hubert and Mr. Horn, and while one of the bora could
not tell who struck the blow, the other testified that bo
saw Flanigan draw a black-jack and strike the deceased.
This closed the case for the Commonwealth.
This morning Mr. P. T. Bansford opened the case for
the defence. It was alleged that Mr. Horn was too
much under the influence of liquor to be able to
identify any one ; that be as well as the two boys were
mistaken in regard to Flanigan, as that individual
did not reach the corner until after Col. Seibert had
been struck and knocked down: that Flanigan
was very drunk on the night in question, and when he
reached the corner after the occurrence did make use of
the words given by the Commonwealth; that the men.
who made the attack ran away, and tho next morning.
Mr Horn described the assailants aB tall a nd dressed in
iaht clothes. . _ •
The case is still before the Court,
