CITY BULLETIN.
Street Cleaning —How the Board ok
Health was Imposed JJpon.— Tho Board of
Health held a meeting this afternoon in refer
ence to the cleaning of the streets. The re
ports of tlif-condition of the streets, as mado
hv the inspectors, showed that only live or six
contractors had fully complied with their con
tracts, and warrants for their payment for
March were ordered to be issued.. The other
distiicts are held under consideration. In two
districts, where little or no work has been
done, the matter was referred- to a special
committee, to inquire and report upon the
propriety of annulling tho contracts. The
subject will come 'up at the next meeting of
the Board. .... ,
It was resolved to advertise for proposals
for .cleaning the Twentieth District. (Frank
ford), the contract for which was annulled at
the last meeting df the Board. It seems that
among the bidders for this district was Thos.
Codav and a man named Green. The latter
only hid for one year, and therefore his pro
posal was thrown out. TheGommittee went to
Franklord, made inquiries, found that Thos.
Codav had three horses and carts, and was
capable of performing the work. The con
tract was therefore awarded to Thomas Coday.
A man representing himself as Thomas Coday
appeared at the office of the Board of Health,
obtained a note from the Clerk to
the City Solicitor, and entered up
his surety. A man named Hurt
land became his security. Subsequently
another Thomas Coday appeared, and said
that he had lead in the newspapers that he had
been awarded the contract. He didn’t bid,but as
he had the horses and carts and was able and
willing to do the work, he wantefl the con
tract. This led to further inquiries. It then
turned out that Green, who is referred to
above, held a power of attorney from Coday
to do the work. Murtland, who had entered
security, is a brother-in-law of Green. He is
said to'keep a policy-shop somewhere down
town, while Green keeps a little grocery in
Frankford. No definite information could
be obtained respecting Mr. Contractor
Coday. M urtland said that henever saw him
until introduced to him by Green. Green said
that Codav lived in Philadelphia, but that he
had gone West, and ho expected to receive a
letter from him in a few days. The place
where it was alleged he resided in Frankford
was visited, hut the occupants of the house
declared that they didn’t know any such man.
On Friday last a notice was issued to Mr. Co
day to clean up his district. Of course the
work was not done, and on Tuesday last the
Board annulled the contract.
Local Chowder.— The religious pageant
at the Cathedral this afternoon—the reception
of Bishop Wood —will come off at 3 o’clock, ir
respective of the weather. Should rainfall,
the proposed procession will be dispensed
with.
Considerate people upon whose sidewalks
the bricks havo been loosened 1 by frost or
otherwise, will see that they are rammed down
into position. The annual amount of drapery
aud cassimcre ruined by the unexpected over
turn of loose bricks must reach a vexatious
average. In the absence of. a law rendering
compulsory the laying of flagstones, the ap
parel of pedestrians is at the mercy of those
whose.houses they pass. . ....
The ofliceof Chief Engineer Graeffis packed
with people'to-day. To water-rents unpaid.at
the close ot business hours, on April 30th a
penalty is imposed upon the day that follows
it. For this reason -the Water-Department
clerks are being violently worked. The peo
ple now waiting their turn are learning that
procrastination the thief of time. . li' Vteir
tame is money, the folly is a double one.
The late rains have retarded the opening of
the Squares. The Commissioner ot City Pro
perty doesn’t now expect to open them before
May Ist.
Judge McKenna is on the bench to-day in
the United States Court, as much at home as
if his place of nativity were within its pre
cincts. By the lawyers he is exceedingly liked.
Some rains wash the streets; 'others don’t.
Those' that have lately fallen have left a
deposit of mud whose adhesiveness is second
only to that of bird lime. Of this the boot and
gaiter makers reap the benefit. “ It’s an ill
wind,” etc.
The art of preserving fruit in ice-cold build
ings is now to be classed among the exact
sciences. We saw grapes this morning of the
crop of 1838. They were as plump as when
freshly gathered. The house in which they
were stored is on the Delaware, above, the
city. At its next meeting the Bornological
Society will have, upon this subject, some
thing especially interesting to report. The
idea that California plums and pears will this
year come to us in perfect condition is pretty
generally entertained. What wasn’t under
stood about packing them last season is now
learned.

Tweedledum and Tweedledeb.— Some
time ago the Lowell Manufacturing Company
obtained an injunction in equity against the
Ann of Lamed & Starr, carpet manufac
turers of Philadelphia. They claimed that the
latter were producing carpets in patterns
patented by them. Upon the merits of the law
m.the pemling question, the case was before
Judge McKenna, in the District Court. De
fendants’ lawyer argued thatjif the Lowell folks
had a patent upon their patterns, they should,
weave the fact upon their carpets. All pat
terns and designs upon other material for
which exclusive right is claimed should bear
the announcement upon their surface. This
was denied by the Lowell people’s lawyer.
The case is still on trial. It will be decided
as soon as the lawyers have exhausted their
logic.
The Eighth Wabd Shooting.— John Wil
-1 Haws, who waff shot at the tavern of John
Beam, at Eleventh and Hansom streets, last
evening, was in a much improved condition
-tills-morning Tho internai hemorrhago had
ceased. He was unahlo to converse, however.
His case is exceedingly critical, and there is a
strong probability that he will die from tho
, effects of his wounds.,
The statements in regard to tho shooting are
* very conflicting. Thosojnterested in the tavern
| declare that the affair occurred ontsido.hutthe
evidence obtained by the detectives goes to
show that the row took place inside, and that
four shots were fired. Williams refuses to toll
who did the "Shooting, and others, who
ought to know, are very reticent on
the subject. McDonald, who als in
custody, is believed to have been the man.
He was observed to run out of tho place im
mediately after the liioody. aflray, and at the
rime had a pistol in Ills band. This weapon
has not, been found, but it is likely that ho
dropped itin the street, as he was not arrested
until lie got to Twenty-second and Hansom
streets. -
Fatal llkselt ok an Accident. —Stephen
I). McCalla, master mason of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company, died at his residence
on Woodland street, below Market, last even
ing, at 7 o’clock, from tho ett'ecls of injuries

an engine of a freight train going east on the
south track, producing a severe cut on the
head, with fracture of the bone, aud concus
sion of the spinal column. Owing to a sharp
curve in the road, he was not seen standing
on the track at a distance, but, as soon as seen,
every effort was made to attract his attention
by wlustling and ringiug the bell, and lastly
by reversing the engine. He was conveyed
to his home, where he received the best sur
gical attention, but died as above stated. Tho
deceased had been connected witli the .Penn
sylvania Railroad fora long period, and was
highly esteemed by all of the officers.

the arrest of Thomas P. Kephart, upon the

Smith, while on the way to his office, observed
Kephart on Broad street, and took him into
custody. The prisoner was committed for a
further hearing. The complaint against bim

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA. THURSDAY, APRIL 7,1870.
NEfISO VOTING IN lia.BYLA.NU.
The First Effect of the Fifteenth Amend
ment In an Aid Slave State~>Penceable
lotlnc Gnlnsr «»n—A Great American
Traveler Present.
(From tho BnltlraereSuu, Aprils,]
By virtue of (lie recentact of tho General
Assembly of Maryland incorporating the
town of Towsontown, the county seat of Bal
timore county, an election was held yesterday
for five commissioners to serve one year. Un
der the Fifteenth Amendment to the Fedora!
Constitution it was the first ouoasionon which
colored men were to be allowed to vote in
Maryland. From early in the morning until
the hour of noon, when the polls were
opened at Ady’s Hotel,- groups of
colored men were gathered about, appa
rently impressed with the importance of the
occasion, and it was easily perceived that, in
regard to the candidates, anything but una
nimity prevailed. For an hour before the
polls opened an itinerant politician, whom
even tile majority of the colored voters de
nominated a “ carpet-bagger,” harangued a
crowd' ill the vicinity ot where the polls were
to be held. He said he had walked all the wav
from Harrisburg in order to address his col
ored brethren of Towsontown. He announced
himself as General Pratt, and the name on his
“carpet bag” corresponded therewith, .de
clared (hat he was a candidate for the
Presidency in 1872, and that he looked
for the colored vote, for ho prided himself
on having been the first man in tho United
States that had addressed the late President
Lincoln in person in behalf of the colored
race. His disjointed harangue was brought to
an abrupt close by tho arrival of the hour of
twelve, when the polls were opened. As soon
as the polls opened, with about five colored
men to one white in the immediate vicinity',
Mr. William H. Ruby, editor of tho Maryland
Journal, deposited bis ballot,his being the first
voto cast at a corporation election in Tow
sontowii. The second was that of Elijah
Quigley, a colored man, and then the voting
went on rapidly for about 15 minutes, the
white voters apparently standing back until
their colored brethren exercised tbeir right of
suflrage. In less than half an hour nearly
every registered colored man had voted, and
then at long intervals a white voter would ap
pear and cast his ballot. As far as could be
learned the colored vote was cast for the Re
publican ticket, some eight or. ten scratching a
name and substituting that of Colonel Maun,
who, being the proprietor of the principal
hotel in the town, was about the only one de
signing to accept the oiiice of Commissioner
who had patronage to bestow. It may be
proper to state that all the liquor bars in the
town were closed, and consequently there
was little or no intoxication to be seen. The
Republican ticket was elected.
HEAVY EMIGRANT TRAIN.
The Emigrant Business ot the Penusyl
vault* C'eutral.
A Harrisburg paper says :
The emigrant train westward from this city,
at 7.45 A. M., yesterday, consisted of nineteen
ears, and was drawn by a single engine as far
as Mifflin. At the latter place another car
was added and the train divided into two
sections as far as Altoona. Here three engines
were attached and the entire train was sent
on its way across the Alleghenies,' precisely
on timej” as they say in railroad parlance.
At Perrysville 'forty-one passengers for
Topeka, Kansas, were assigned a special car.
The hulk of the emigrants were Europeans—
Germans, Irish, Swedes, etc. First and second
class travel at this time is greatly on the in
crease over the above popular route, and ttie
business of this great central thoroughfare,
from the Delaware river to the Pacific ocean,
was never under better management than at
present.
THE GOLD FETEB.
Another Mania In Montana.
Helena, Montana, lias, during the past few
months, experienced a weekly “stampede”
of its inhabitants to some new “ gulch,” the
fabulous richness of which the old “Forty
niners” seem almost as ready to believe in as
though they had not already gone on a hun
dred similar fools’ errands. The latest move
ment has been toward Cedar Creek, where
400 men are reported'as at present" panning”
out from 20 cents to 31 50 worth of gold to a
pan. The fame of these “diggings” has al
ready spread over the entire Pacific,slope and
old miners are crossing the mountain onsnow
slioes from Walla Walla and other northwest
ern towns, while pioneers from San Francisco
report a “ move on the road” from California,
with a heavy emigration from that State in
May, if the bottom does not fall out of the
mines before the snow melts on the mount
ains.
