MEETING OF COUNCILS.
No Business Transacted in Common Coun
cil—The Contested Sent of Mr. Miller, of
Select Council—A Committee Appointed to
Investigate the Facts of the Case.
SELECT BRANCH.
The PRESIDENT laid before the Council n commu
nication, complaining of a defective sewerage in
Christian street, west of Twenty-second.
Mr. GIN NODO offbred a resolution authorizing the
President of each Chamber to appoint ajoint special
committee of live members on cleaning the streets.
Adopted.
Mr. CATIFETZWOOD submitted a resolution direct
ing the clerk of Select Council to purchase copies of
Biglees Manual, one for each member.
Mr. DAVIS moved to amend by adding "a copy of
Purdon , s Digest."
Mr. Girmono moved to amend that the clerk be .
directed to purchase for each member a green bag,
with which to carry home his documents.
Thetimendments were not agreed to. The resolu
tioli*as adopted.
Mr. ark:l - Visit offered a resolution of condolence in
reference: : titithe death of Major Rosengartcn.
The reriatutton- was adopted, with an amendment
that Independence Hall be tendered to the relatives
of the decettied, in order that the remains may lie
there in state.
The Chamber now proceeded to draw the commit
tee to try the contested seat of Mr. E. Spencer Mil
ler, of the Twenty-fourth ward.
The roll being called, Mr. ZANJ said that the pe
tition protesting against the right of Mr. Miller was
illegal, and should not have been admitted. He
stated that the Consolidation act required that such
n petition should he accompanied with a certificate
from the prothonotary or commissioner of the
.eounty. This petition had no such certificate no
-companying it.
Mr. AnstsTno:co thought that, as the petition had
:already been received, no other course was open
then to draw the committee.
Mr. ZANE said that besides the objection lie first
pointed out, there is another one yet, as important.
The law requires that the petition be pre
sented within ten days after the organization
of Councils, and must be signed by fifteen citizens,
one or more of whom must make oath " that the
facts as set forth are true." The committee must
be drawn within five days after the presentation of
the petition.
Mr. 13ni air= believed that the law required such
a certificate, but it was not too late for the petition
to be amended, as this was the tenth day.
Mr.' DAVIS thought it would be unjust to the re
spondent to allow the petition to be amended.
Mr. BRH;nTI.T said that since the subject had
been discussed he had made an examination into the
law upon the subject, and was now convinced that
it was not necessary to have the certificate of the
commissioners to the petition.
The debate was continued at very great length.
Mr. BraoliTLY said that he had been handed an
affidavit -in proper form, and a certificate from the
commissioner, which the petitioner desired to ap
pend to the petition. Mr. 33. moved that he have
leave to so amend the paper's.
The PRESIDENT decided the motion out of order.
Mr. 13monmy appealed from the decision of the
Chair, and proceeded to put his appeal in'writing.
Mr. M,x.ri in suggested a postponement of the
matter until Thursday; then he would not oppose
the appointment of a committee.
Mr..BnieiliTLy had no objection to the postpone
ment, after the petition had been amended.
The appeal of - Mr. Brightly was then presented,
and Mr. Davis took the chair,
Linn briefly explained the reason for the de
cision he had made, and said that he had been
guided by a desire to dispense impartial justice..
The Chair was not sustained. The yeas and nays
were as follows :
YEAS—Messrs: DAVlSGinnodo, Greble, Nanuel,
Paulin, Riche, Spe ring, 'Uhler. Bane-9.
NAYS—Messrs. Armstrong, Baird, Baum, Brightly,
Catherwood, Harris, Kamerly, King, Marcus, Mc-
Elroy, Nicholson, Ricketts, and Weaver-13.
The question now being upon the motion of Mr.
Brightly, that the petitioner be allowed to amend
his peti&m,
An affidavit of three of the signers of the petition,
and a certificate signed by the City Commissioner,
were presented.
Mr. SPEr.ucu objected to the reception of the cer
tificate, on the ground that .it states the persons
whose names are attached to the " foregoing papers"
are qualified voters. This certificate is not attached
to any "foregoing" paper.
Mr. DAVIS said that it was difficult to understand
how any public officer should have put his name to a
paper under the circumstances. The speaker was
bitterly severe on the negligende of the officer.
The motion to allow the petitioner to amend his
petition was agreed to, Mr. Brightly voting with the
Democrats.
Mr. Ricwa presented a protest against the recep
tion of the petition.
Mr. GINNODO, one protesting against the reception
of the certificate of the City Commissioner.
Mr. SPIMING moved that the whole matter be
postponed. Tot agrea to. (Mr. Brightly voted
with the Republicans.)
Mr. Srlmizio moved to adjourn. Not agreed to.
The drawing of the committee was then proceeded
with. The names were called in the following or

were constituted the committee. They were called
by the President as follows :
Messrs. Paulin, Riche, Uhler, Davisl Ginnodo,
Spering, (Republicans,) Baird, King, Baum, Marcus,
Barris, and Weaver, (Democrats.)
The committee then retired for a short time,
in
order that Six of their number should be selected as
the committee on the contested election, the law re
quiring the number to be seven, Mr. Brightly, of
course, being a member, as his name was first called,
and he was not challenged. The committee were then
Teported as follows :
Messrs. Brightly, Paulin (R.), Riche (R.), Baird

ANIMAL MEETING OF :MANAGERS ANTI
CONTRinterons ov Wows.' 'HosriTAL.—The
annual meeting of the managers and contributors of
the Women's Hospital of Philadelphia was held at
the hospital building, North College avenue and
Twenty-second street, at half past three o'cloCk,
yesterday afternoon. Those ' %litho are acquainted
with the location will at once - recognize in it a pecu
liar aptitude for the purpose to which it is at pre
sent applied. The situation is retired, the prospect
pleasing and open, and the atmosphere peculiarly
clear and salubrious. The building itself, though not
originally constructed for its present purpose, is yet
extremely well adapted for it. Two houses, intended
as private residences, are merged by inter-communi
cation into one. The medical college occupies•four
rooms on the east side, drat floor; the remainder of
the building constitutes the hospital. The two lec
ture rooms, the laboratory, and the museum; are
fitted up with everything to advance the intelli
gence of the students, the museum, in particular,
boasting no mean collection. The rooms through
out the hospital are all large and airy, possessing
the grand requisites so often wanting in invalids'
apartments.
At yesterday afternoon's meeting the second an
nual report of the Board of Managers was read.
The hospital itself has•been in existence since last
October a year, although the college has flourished
for some ten or twelve years. The annual-report
comprises the board of advisers, the medical board,
the committee on admission of patients, and the
matron's report. The report states that the termi
nation of the first year of the' ,Organized ex
istence of the institution has proved not
only the pleasantness but also the heattliful
ness of its situation. No sickness had originated in
the house, and the location itself seemed to have
been beneficial to those admitted. The ground
rent upon one of the two lots belonging to the pro
perty had been cancelled, in part by subscriptions
for the purpose, and in part by a loan of the Phila
delphia savings' . Fund. The other ground
rent had been purchased by a friend of the
hospital, who held the institution account
able but for the sum of fifty dollars annual
ly. A course of lectures was now in progress
in the rooms of the Female Medical College of Penn
sylvania, occupying part of the first floor: Several
members of the class are boarding in the college,
thus securing the opportunity of uniting practice
with theory. The training of a superior class of
nurses had been one of the objects of the institution.
Sixty-two patients had been received as inmates du
ring the year. Twenty-five of these were obstetrical
cases, twenty-four , medical, and fourteen surgical.
Forty-one had been discharged well, six improved,
five unimproved, mullt iv° not treated. Three had died.
The mean term of residence had been five weeks.
Ten had paid in part or in full for their accommoda
tions. The nativity of house patients was, Ameri
cans, 22 ; Irish, 31 ; English, 4 ; German, 3 ;_ colored,
2. Their civil condition, married 27; widows, 12;
single women,l6 ; children, 7. 1,142 persons had been
treated in the dispensary, and furnished with medi
cines; 213 have been visited and treated gratuitously
at their own homes. The nativity of these was,
American, 1,005; Irish; 259; English, 51 ; German,
37• colored, 11; Welsh, 6; Scotch, 5; French, 1.
The civil condition of dispensary and clinic patients
was: married, 411 ; widows, 119; single women, 173•,
children, 600. Two thousand nine hundred and
thirty-three prescriptions have been furnished these,
and thirty.three vaccinations performed. Through
all the fluctuations of the times, the hand of .Provi
dence had been evident in supporting and encou
raging this institution, and as it had succored it in
time past, so was it to be looked to for support•in
the future.
The following officers were re-elected:
President—Anne D. Morrison.
Treasurer—Martha Ann Warner.
.Recording Secretary—Emeline F. Holloway. .
Corresponding Secretary—Ann Preston, M. D.
Chief Reaident Physician—Mrs. Emeline H. Cleve

DISCHARGED SOLDIERS.—Among the dai
ly arrivals at the Citizens' Hospital, Broad and
Prime streets, by the cars of the Philadelphia, 'Wil
mington, and Baltimore railroad, are large numbers
of discharged soldiers, many of whom are in such a
feeble condition of health that their further trans
portation is an impossibility. They are kindly
-takeh In charge by the managers of the institution,
.and treated with their usual hospitality. Some of
-the soldiers have died, and quite a number have
• been, after a recuperation of several weeks, for
warded to their homes.
RAILROAD CARS FOR THE WEST INDIES.
—A number of locomotives and railroad cars have
iecently been constructed in this city, intended for
the West Indies. Yesterday a passenger-railroad
car was shipped to Sagua by Messrs. Madeira gr. Ca
bada: Two cars and a locomotive wore shipped by
the same 'firm to Cienfuegos, intended to run be
tween that point and Villa Clara.
ACCIDENT.—About one o'clock yesterday
.morning, a man named John Ramsey, the driver of
.a carriage, was run into by the New. York train, at
Fifteenth and Brandywine streets, and was badly
:injured. He was removed to his home, near Tenth
and Walnut streets, by Messrs. illeßrian and Wal
ter, of the police force.
A NEW CpIINTERFEIT " FIVE "-DOLLAR

orneter.
Isaac B. Garrigues, Esq., recording secretary, and
Frederick Fraley corresponding secretary.
Mr. Howson exhibited a large number of looks of
an improved pattern. Mr. H. exhibited also an im
proved burner for coal oil lamps, invented by Emil
Tritten. The wick tube: is so isolated that although
it is firmly attached to the burner, the heat from the
flame cannot be conveyed to the reservoir 'so as to
vaporize and thus waste the oil ; also an extremely
simple and ingenious burner for coal oil lamps, the
invention of W. 0. B. Merril, of this city. An im
proved revolving pistol for metallic cartridges, the'
cylinder of which, on withdrawing the centre pin,
may be pushed to one side ivithotit entirely detach
h; it from the frame. The advantage being that the
. pistol may be loaded and the spent cases removed
without any liability of hieing the cylinder by de
taching it. The centre pin passes through a key so
connected to the front of the frame that it may also
be .turned to the side and the pin pushed back
through the openings in the cylinder, thereby forcing
out the cases of the discharged cartridges.
A belt fastener invented by Messrs. Liebrich and
Utting, of this city, was exhibited. Two eccentric
rollers, the surface of which are so foruted as to pre
sent a series of longitudinal ribs having sharp edges,
are connected together at the ends by metal plates,
in which the journals of the rollers turn. When the
surfaces of the rollers are farthest apart, the ends of
the stritp or belt may be passed upwards between
them. On attempting to withdraw the strap, how
ever, the rollers are turned, and the surfaces brought
nearer together, securing between them the ends of
the belt, which are prevented from. slipping out by
the sharp edges, or ribs, on the rollers, which hold
the ends together with a grip increasing with the
force applied to separate the ends of the strap.
A combined rule, square, level, etc:, presented by.
C. A. Miller, Esq., was exhibited by Mr. H. The
frame of the rule is of metal, filled with vulcanized
rubber, which fcirms in the present instance the
body of the instrument, although other substances
may be used. By means of a strip of metal joint
ed, and contained within the rule, and a spirit-level
in a recess in the edge of the same, a number of
operations, each heretofore requiring. a separate
instrument, may be performed.
G. F. Witsera patent combined washing machine
and clothes-wringer was exhibited. In rt• triangu
jar reservoir vibrates a similarly-shaped dasher,
which is so constructed as to form a receptacle for
the clothes, which, as the dasher is vibrated, are
cleaned by the water which passes through openings
in the sides of the dasher and through the interstices
of the clothes. The journals of two rubber-covered
rollers turn in the opposite sides of the reservoir,
and are so situated that the clothes may be taken
from the dasher and passed directly between the •
rollers.
Mr. T. J. Wagner exhibited a thermo•multiplier,
an extremely neat and sensitive instrument, made
by himself. The chief merit consists in the com
pactness, the whole of the essential parts occupying
a spacibut little larger than two cubic inches. Mr.
"W. stated that a fly on the bars would deflect the
needle from three to five degrees.
A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.—The Cen-
tral Soldiers; Aid Society, which has been making
up garments - weekly since the establishment of the
Central Hospital, and the one at Filbert and Six
teenth streets, has now exhausted all of the mate
rials anti material aid, heretofore furnished by the
generous beneficence of our citizens.
None of our readers save those in the habit of
visiting the hospitals, or of taking in the work of.
furnishing needed supplies:forthe sick and wounded
soldiers brought to our midst from the battle-fields
or camp, can have any adequate Idea of the results n
of the efforts of such societies as this one. They are
most valuable auxiliaries to the hospitals them
selves, inasmuch as they are designed to Procure for
the patients such necessary comforts, that the Go
vernment does not afford, as each particular case
maylequire.
This Central Soldiers' Aid Society has been thus
doing a great work for two large hospitals of our
city—a work of humanity to the brave men who
have jeoparded their health and limbs and lives in
support of the Government.
. The society meets every Friday morning, in the
church at Twelfth and Cherry streets, and we feel
confident that our readcrs,when they know its wants
of fresh supplies, will not allow the enterprise •to
languish, and its heroic benefidiaries to suffer from
want of contributions of money and of goods. •

ARE TILE CONFEDERATE STATES PUMMO ENEMIES.
The Monongahela Insurance Company of Pitts
burg, plaintiff in error; vs:Thomas It.' - Chester, for
use of James A. Hutchison, defendant in error.
Amongst the cases from the Western District, argued
yerttertlay, this very interesting one was presented.
The action in the court below was on a policy of in
. surance issued by the Monongahela Insurance Com
pany on the steamer Mohawk, for the sum of $5,000,
on account of Thomas R. Chester, loss payable to
James A. Hutchison, for a period of one year, front
the 23d of October, 1860 the steamer being privileged
• to navigate the Ohio river and its .tributaries, the
Mississippi river to and between New Orleans,
"Lou isien a, and Keokuk, lowa, andihe Illinois river;
. the perils insured against being of the seas, lakes,
rivers, tiresi enemies, pirates, assailing thieves, and all
such losses and damages which shall come to the
damage of said steamboat.
The Mohawk left Pittsburg on the 18th of April,
1861., on a voyage to New Orleans, where she ar
rived on the 18th. of May following, and left that
place for the city of Pittsburg on the 20th of the same
month, on her trip upward touching as usual at the
ports and towns on the Mississippi river. 'While at
Memphis, in the State of Tennessee, that place
being a port of entry above tidewater, she was
openly and forcibly seized, and taken out of the pos
session and control of the captain and crew, by per
sons assuming to act, and notoriously and in fact,
acting, under authority conferred for that and simi
lar purposes by the pretended Government of the
Confederate States, then actually engaged in armed
rebellion against the United States, and the boat
was detained and confiscated. The captain and
crew resisted and protested against the seizure by
evet y means in their power, until compelled to fly
in fear of their lives, and abandon the steamer as a
• total loss. The seizure and capture occurred within
the period for which the steamer was insured, and
notice of her total loss and abandonment was duly
served on the company.
The case was presented to the court below on a
case stated, which we have substantially embodied
in our narrative, and the question presented was
whether the loss was caused by any of the perils
enumerated in, or covered by, the policy; whether
the captors were "enemies, pirates, or assailing;
thieves." The court decided that "in every.legiti
mate sense of the word they are public enemies to
the Government, and loyal citizens of the United
States, as much so as the people of England or
Pram ce, or any other foreign nation would be; if ac
tually engaged in war with us." And the court fur
ther decided that the perils of "assailing thieves"
were alto covered by the policy - , Baying •
" These captors took this vessel from the control ,
and possession of . the officers and crew by force, and
putting them in fear for their lives. Their act, then,
was either justifiable or it was robbery. If justi
fiable, it must be because they had rightful authori
ty to do so. But the only authority they pretended
to have was derived from the pretended Government
of the sb-called ' Confederate States of America,'
which is nothing more nor less than an organized
band of traitors, in open rebellion against the
Government of the United States, whose lives and
property have long since been forfeited for their
treason. And every act done by themselves, their
aiders or abettors, in furtherance of their wicked de
signs,'only involves the perpetrators in deeper
crime. It is very clear, therefore, they had no
rightful authority whatever for their act."
. Judgment was entered in favor of plaintiff, for
E5,C00, with interest front September Ist, 1861.
rror was assigned to this decision. Argued by
Hamilton and Acheson for plaintiff in error, and by
Wm. M. Shinn for defendant in error.
The following other eases were also argued--
Brown and Corey—Allegheny county. Argument
concluded by Arr. Penney.
Nancy J. Painter, administratrix of Geo. Painter,
demised, vs. the Mayor of Pittsburg, Allegheny
county. Argued by Geo. P. Hamilton for plaintiff
in error,
and by Messrs. White and Seagle for de
fendantin error.
James P. Sterrett, administrator of Lorenz vs.
Thos. Wightman et al. Allegheny county. Argued
by John P. Penney and Jas. H. Hopkins for com
plainants, and by J. J. Mitchell for respondents.
These concluded the Pittsburg list, and the court
adjourned until this morning.
THE FEANKLIN INSTITUTE. —A stated
monthly meeting of the Franklin Institute was held
last evening at their hall, en Seventh, above Chest

John Agnew, Esq., and Matthias W. Baldwin,
vice presidents.
TITE U. 'S. SAVING FUND.—The institu
tion known as the United States Life Insurance,
Annuity, and Trust Company, located in the brown
stone building at the southeast corner of Third and
Chestnut streets, as a saving fund for, several years
past, has recently exploded. The building in which
the company have been doing their business has
been levied upon and sold by the sheriff several
times during the past year, having been, it would ap
pear, bought in by themselves each time, but has at
last gone into other hands, and is now occupied by
other parties.fiThe circumstances attending this fail
ure are such that we understand active steps are
being taken to have a judicial investigation. The,
depositors are represented by Hugh F. Kennedy,
Esq., who will, no doubt, have the subject tho
roughly sifted. The effects of the failure of this
concern will be wide-iipread, as it har. always been
looked upon as reliable. Great numbers of the
poorer classes, but ill able to bear their loss, espe
cially at this time, will be the sufferers.
FOUNDLING.—An-infant of apparently but
a few weeks old was found upon the steps of a house
on Shippen street, near Tenth, at an early hour

District Court—Judge 'Hare.
THE USE OF CJILOROFORM.
John P. Bogle . irs. Henry G. Winslow. Before re.;
ported. The features of this case are so interesting,
and the subject they concern of such importance to
the community, that we have been led to prepare a
rather extended report of the case. Our notice yes
tet day was a brief one, because we were not then in
possession of all the facts of the case. We may now
state it as follows :
On the 21st of April last, the plaintiff, a driver on
the Tenth and Eleventh streets railway, who was
suffering with the tooth-ache, was induced by the
recommendation of a lady friend to call upon the
defendant for the purpose of having some teeth and
the roots of decayed others extracted, while under
the influence of chloroform. Dr. Winslow was re
cognized by the profession as.one eminently skilful in
the use of this anisthetic agent, and patients were
frequently taken to him by other physicians.
On the day named, Sunday, the plaintiff accord
ingly called on him, and the chloroform was ad
ministered and the roots extracted. Before this had
been successfully accomplished, however, it was
found to be necessary to administer the chloroform
in large quantities, and for three interfere of an hour
and in the intervals between the drawing of the
ditiOrent teeth and toots, as signs of returning con.
sciousness a speared.
The opera ion completed, Mr. Bogle left, in com
pany. with his lady friend, but the influence of the
volatile fluid was still apparent. He staggered like
a drunken man, and was obliged to lean on his com
panion for assistance. He grew worse after that;
his tongue thickened so that his articulation became
indistinct, and finally, on the fourth day, he was
st rink with paralysis of the left side.
Dr. Winslow was called in, and treated him for
this sickness for four weeks, at the end of which
time, no perceptible relief 'having been afforded,
another physician, Dr. Longahore, was employed,
ur.der whose treatment he remained until the 24th
of .Tuly, when he was able partially to resume his
rmployment—acting as substitute conductor. For
the loss sustained by him by reason of his sickness
and continued inability to attend to ? duties this
suit was instituted.
. _ .
Dr. Longshore, who was examined, testified that,
after hearing the testimony in the case, he inferred
that the chloroform was the cause of the paralysis;
never knew chloroform to be given without produ
cing paralysis; that is its purpose; it is not perma
nent, however; there - are cases reported in the books
of paralysis or the tongue, resulting from the use of
chloroform; never heard of a case of paralysis of the
side; chloroform might produce paralysis of the side
by reason of its effect upon the brain; cerebral
hemorrhage produces paralysis; never heard of a
case of cerebral hemorrhage produced by chloroform;
the kick of a horse will produce it; dd not think it
resulted front such a cause in this case; there fts no
standard for dose of chloroform; the operator must
he governed by the action of the patient; if the effect
was not produced in three-quartereot an hour. I
would stop the use of the chloroform, as I would be
I afraid of the consequence; there might .have been an
injury to the brain, brought into action by the use of
chloroform, but if it resulted from injuries received
two months before, there would be complaints on the
part of the patient.
Dr. Harbeson, who was also called for the plain
tiff; testified that in his experience he knew of a
case where paralysis was caused by the use of
chloroforin, A tumor had been removed from the
left breast of a patient, while under the in
fluence of chloroform, and paralysis ensued. He
also testified that it was considered a dangerous
agent, and was, for that reason, not used at the
Pennsylvania Hospital. He had known of death
resulting from its use.
The defence set up was, that Dr. Winslow was'
graduate of twenty years' practice, eminently skill
ed in the use of chloroform, and that no matter how
large the quantity used, or the length of its applica
tioni•no such effect as paralysis could 'result. Be
sideli it-was on evidence that in the preceding
January the plaintiff had been kicked in the
breast by one of his car horses, hurled over the
.tlaaher into the street, and against the curb, his
litinel violently striking a lamp-post, and it was con
tacted that this was more likely to have been the
cause of the paralysis.
Eminent physicians, among them Drs. Gross and
Goddard, were called in support of these allegation's.
Dr. Gross' testimony embodies the whole, and we
present it in substance as follows :
Dr. S. D. Gross, Professor of Surgery at the Jeffer
son College, testified that chloroform is regarded by
the profession in general as a proper agent to relieve
pain ; it is one of the approved remedies of the pro
fession ; in the present case he considered the length
of time . resulted from the want of the proper number
of assistants by Dr. Winslow ; don't think there is
any case on record, except two referred to by Dr.
Longshon, that chloroform caused paralysis • Mete
two are cases reported by Dr. Haphold of South
Carolina, and these cases are not authentic ; I have
given chloroform since 1842, and under almost all.
circumstances, to a child of six weeks of age, and to
a person of 75 years of age ; I have given it to all
classes ' and never witnessed any ill effects from it;
I do not think that the paralysis in this case was the
result of the use of chloroform ; in my judgment it
bail nothing to do with it.
Dr. Gross then explained the effect of a concussion
of the brain in producing paralysis ; several months
might elapse between the injury and the paralysis ;
I think it not unlikely that the patient would com
plain of headache,
he., though it does not follow
that he would actually complain; if the Nan had
not been kicked by a horse I would not attribute
the paralysis to chloroforth from what I know of its
effects. Dr. Snow, of London, in a late work issued
by him, states that he had administered chloroform
for fourteenyears, and he never knew any perma
nently ill ettacts to be produced by it ; I have
given several ounces to patients;
in Louisville I
gave a man eight ounces, and kept him under its in
fluence for three hours ; I have every confidence in
Dr. Winslow's skill. .

agents which a physician is obliged to use, is dan

Answer. No, sir.
Question. Would it be improper to continue the
use of chloroform after a patient has resisted its
influence for nearly three-quarters of an hour

until raccornplished my object ;.I hair° taken chlo

that he has not taken enough.

THE POLICE.
['Before Mr. Alderman BoItlerj:
Alleged Dealers In Connterfellt Motel.
.ek case was heard"before Alderpan'Beitler, yester
day afternoon, which posseses—ntore thali ordinary
interest. at this particular period. Two brothers,
named Beverly Bloomer and George L. Bloiamer,
ClMadians by birth, .but recently in the employ of
the rebel government, were arrested at a grocery
store, corner of Fourth
.and Diamond streets, yes
terday, on the charge of dealing in counterfeit money.
They wire keepers Of the store, and from sundry
papers found in their possession, they have had
something. to do in - counterfeit notes even-in the
distracted land of Secession.
The evidence, as developed, relates the story in
plain language, and from it the reader can gain an
insight as to some of the business of the detective
police.
The defendants were represented by Wm. M. Bull,
Esq.. In order to be prsperly understood, and to
make our report complete, we may state that De
tectives Henderson, Taggert, Levy, and C}. H. Smith
are the ones who "put up " the affair. Samuel
Smith, of the Sixth-ward police, was the instrument
used to bring the parties to justice. How the offi
cers obtained the first intimation of the affair need
not - , for prudential reasons obvious to the reader, be
told publicly.
The prisoners are tall, thin• faced persons, rather
seedy in regard to clothing, hair long and black, and
seemed struck with more than astonishment at their
present position. .
TUE EVIDENCM
Samuel R. Smith was called to the stand. On be
ing sworn, he testified. that about. the latter part of
- December, or the first of. January, he went to the
. house of one of the defendants to get some counter
- felt money ; he said he had none, and told me to
come the next day ; I went there and got these notes ;
_(here witness handed a number of three-dollar notes,
- Black River Bank, to the alderman; some are
printed on pink or reddish paper, and others on pale
green ; as a work of art thchngravin is excellent;)
I also purchased more at another time; and this
morning purchased these notes ; (here the notes were'
displayed before the magistrate ;) this is all I.have
to say.
CROSS-EXAMIIED DT MIL Bram.
Q. How did you come to know about this?
A. Well, I heard about it. •
- Q. '
Did you say.you were sent?
A. No, sir.. •
'Q. What induced you to go there?
A. Police business. .
Q. Well, how did-you act—what did you say?
A. I asked for queer.. (The Word queer is the flash
term for counterfeit notes.)
Q. Did he sell it to you?
.
A. Yes, sir; without further asking. I told him
I wanted two or three hundred for present use. Mr.
Henderson (detective) actcd,as my pal (accomplice);
we went there to get two hundred pieces (notes).
.Q. Who went with you this morning?
A.' Nobody.
Q. - What time did you 7
A. Half-past eight. o'clock. He gave me a new
note, saying there was nothing in the detector about.
it. ; I took it, and went away; I did not try to pass
it ; I told him I did, but it wouldn't so ; he told me
to try it again; I did so, but finally took it back; and
he told me to go home. •
George •H. Smith sWorn.bi'lleers Levy, Tag
gert, Henders'on, and myself, arrested these men;
found this order on the shelf in their store, asking
for counterfeit money. (Note produced.) It was di
reeled' to Sam Stewart, for $9O in queer.
Mr. Bull interposed, and said this was no evidence.
What has Sani Stewart to do with this 1 Who is Sam
Stewart? I know a Sam Stewart who is now fight
ing for our country.
Mr. Smith replied, by way of parenthesis, the
Sand Stewart alluded to is an old koniacker.
Mr. Bull, firing up with some degree of warmth—
Well, konlacker.or not, what evidence is there the
note alluded to counterfeit notes? The word queer
can't be fotind• in any acknowledged dictionary.
Mr. Smith. "Oh, we understand it." '
Mr. Bull: " Oh yes; you officers understand a great
deal."
Mr. Smith smiled, but made no reply, and left the
stand. •
Joshua Taggert was called. He found this letter,
asking for one hundred dollars. [Letter produced.]
One of the'prisoners here interposed, and said that
the letter was written by his brother, in North Caro
lina, and.what he wanted was a hundred dollars, in
Southern bank notes. This letter, contended Mr.
Taggert, came this morning, while we were there.
We took the liberty of looking at it ; and here it is.
Samuel .Ilenderson testified; that having called
upon the Bloomers, I told them I wanted $lOO, for
which I would give $4O; one of them swore he'd do
no such thing; he would not take less than $5O; was
to meet him at Second and Race streets; he asked
me if I wanted any of the Wilmington stuff; I told
him yea, I'd take all he could fetch.
The evidence here closed. The defendants were
committed in default of $2,000 bail to answer.
A number of documents were found upon the
prisoners, of which we present the following as
specimens :
DIAIICII 19th, 1861.
George L. Bloomer is exempt from militia duty,
by the Board of Exemptions of the. city of Rich
mond, it having been certified to me . by the War
Department to be necessary to the interests of the
Government of the Confederate States.

8.0. HOWARD, Secretary of Board.
RICHMOND, March 20, 1862.
Permit Geo. L. Bloomer to .pass unmolested in the
city. By order JOHN W. BINDER,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.
W. S. 'BINDER, A. D. C.
' Parkersville, March 27th, 1861, is the date of a
letter signed by Jamesßloomer., It is written part
ly in ink, and finished with lead-pencil, the letter
being signed as follows: "I wrote this for your
father, G. W. Bush." This letter is directed to
Beverly and George Bloomer, and from its .date,
186 l; it would seem that some parties, were - doing 11 1)
the fancy business, even in Secessia, about the time
of the breaking out of the rebellion.. The precious
document sets forth that "Charles hai spent all the
money you sent him, and cleared out, after passing
all the spurious money—Devine has taken all the
personal property. * *. * Charles has paid bad
money, and dare not come home. lam getting old,
and want a little help."
In conclusion, we may say that the defendants
have been under the surveillance of the police for
three weeks. The result of their labors is furnished
in the above report of the proceedings of yester
day.
Fully Committed.
Edward Tilden (colored). employed as coachman
by W. B. Mann, District Attorney, had a final .
hearing, before Alderman Beltler, yesterday after
noon. Francis Lewis testified that Tilden came
into his place of business, near Sansom and Eighth
streets, on Wednesday, and said he found a check ,•
witness looked at it ; it was drawn for four hundred
dollars ; the defendant wanted witness to go to the
bank and thaw it ; witness replied, " Do you think
Pm a fool defendant replied " No, but 1 guess the
check is good ;" witness ordered him out, and finally
kicked him out into the street, and then went after
an officer ; defendant in the meantime tore the
check into small pieces and threw them on the
paveMent, and then went into a watch-maker store
in Chestnut street Witness had, the accused ar
rested, and then, with Officer Clark, picked the
pieces up and gummed them together in the best
manner possible. While on the way to the station.
house, the defendant said to witness, "If you'd
took the cheek to the bank you could have 'drawn
the money.
The defendant denied saying so. Mr. Mann was
present !luring the investigation. The prisoner was
committed in default of $1,200 to answer. It may
be hese stated that the figure 3 in the check is ex
actly like the same figure in a small account book
kept by the defendant.
T.lnjustlfinble Pkosecution.
- -
Mr. Petry, who was no doubt greatly annoyed by
a prosecution instituted by John Rea, has gone
clean through the ordeal lilce pure gold. A more
unjust prosecution has not fallen under our profes
sional notice for many years. Mr. Petry has always
stood before this community'as a highly honorable
excellent public caterer—a man of the most
sterling integrity, who certainly holds his prosecutor
at his mercy. The case was to have been further
investigated before Alderman Beitler yesterday
afternoon, but instead of the prosecutor appearing,
he Pent a note, which was handed to the alderman.
The following is a true copy:
"PuitamicLantn, January 15, 1363.
"I sincerely regret having instituted the charge of
-larceny against you before the _Mayor and Alderman
I3eitler. I am convinced that. I was in error in
adopting any such step, and that I have unjustly
subjected your character to suspicion and yourself
to injury by my proceeding.
"1 have withdrawn the accusation, and tender
you this,,meaning it as a completeprotection against
all or any of the effects of my unfounded prosecu
tion. JOHN REA.
"To Mr. CHARLES PETTY."
[Before Mr. Alderman Welding.)
Discharged.
Mr. Sohn Freed, who was arrested a day or two
since on the charge of the larceny of $.50, was finally
heard before Alderman Welding yesterday after
noon. The accuser, Lewis Ross, is a native : . of Bo
hemia, and cannot understand the English language
CI 6 4 4 RIDAY JANUARY 16. 1863 .
very well. He underwent a long cross-examination.
and seemed to contradict himself•in several import.
ant particulars.
The bar-tenders were present at the' hearing and
said that the soldier handed .to Mr. Freed the sum
of -$2O, and not $6 ), and that it was all exhausted
by the prosecutor spending it in champagne wine,,
&e. Under these circumstances, and the contradic.
lions of the main or only witness, the alderman did'
not think there was even probable cause made out.
He therefore discharged the defendant from further
custody.
A novel case was adjudicated before the venerable
Alderman Brazer yesterday morning, which is
worthy of a place of record in these columns. While
the alderman was enjoying the ingredients that com
bined make- a •first-class breakfast, his office was•
suddenly besieged with a crowd of persons, from
Market street merchants down to the toil-worn day
laborer. In front of the office. there was also a
dense crowd of curious individuals, apparently
anxious to .learn all the particulars of a horrible
murder, that somebody supposed had taken place,
The magistrate took hie position in his official
chair and proceeded to investigate the offence. Two
men—Mse,theoWner of a pair of dogs, the other hold- •
ing hiiiirms a pet fox, with chain and collar-14);
peered to bethe most interested. The person who
had the fex in possession was Mr. O'Brien, .the
superintendent of )Franklin Square. He stated that
Alie•anlinataiadc his appearance in the square, and
presently great crowds of every kind of inx>ple*came
inside the enclosure. There was a general chase
after thefox... Among the chasers was the young
man with two dogs. The fox was finally pretty well
run down, but the canines skedaddled every time
the sly animal turned upon them. At last the
superintendent caught the fox and claimed posses
sion of it.
" Well, sir,"' amid the aldermen to the other claim
ant, "what harfe you to say in regard to 'your
The young man replied, that if it had not been for
his dogs, which. he ,took into the squarb, the fox
would not have• hien' caught. :The dogs
,run him
down, and he fell an easy prey to the captor, who
now has him.
"I suppose he has been pretty well chased, if we
judge from his panting," replied the alderman.
"Yea, sir, he was," replied the superintendent.
• The alderman mused for a moment, and decided in
substance tis follows : To the young man with the
dogs, he' eaid : "You go home, and we'll say-no
thing about the penalty you have incurred by•taking
dogs into!' public- square, contrary:to the municipal

At this stage of•the proceedings a new idea broke.,
in upon the pining:luau ; and he replied,. "yes, sir."
"Mr. O'Brien, yen have possession of the fox 1"
" Yes, sir." - . • .. .
"Well, poisession, in such a case, is nine potties of
the law—take the fox. with you, and perhaps :you •
may find an owner."
A buzz of satisfaction 'seethed to pervade: the •
ciowdedniidiencoi. The office .was speedily leg - red,
eachparty went 'h•Sx or- her way to reflectnpon the',
termination of tub -impromptu fox chase, and the`
alderman resumed. his-.breakfast. Those who saw ,

A.YER'S SARSAPARILLA IS A OON
centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined
with other substances of still greater alterative power.
as to afford an effective antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla
is reputed to cure. 'Such a remedy is surely wanted by
those who suffer from Strumoas complaints, and that
one which will accomplish their cure must prove of im
mense service to this large class of our afflicted felloW
citizens. How completely this compound will do it has
been proven by experiment on 'many of the worst cases
to be found in the following complaints :
SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTION'S
AND ERUPTIVE-DISEASES,ULCERS, PIMPLES, Br.orcßEA,
TUMORS, SALT RHEUM, S CALD READ, SYPHILIS. AND SY
PHILITIC AFFECTIONS. MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY,
NEURALGIA OR TIC DOLOREUX, DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS. DOSS OR Sr. ANTHONY'S
Ting, andindeed the whole class of complaints arising
from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
-This compound Will be found a great promoter of
health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu
mors which fester in the blood at that season of the year.
By the timely expulsion of them .many rankling disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of
foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid itself of corruptions. if not as
sisted to do this through the natural channels of the
body by au alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitia
ted blood whenever you find its impurities bursting
through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse
It when you And. it is obstructed and sluggish in the
veins; cleanse it whenever it is foal, and your feelings
Will tell Ton when. Even where no particular disorder
Is felt,people enjoy. better health, and live longer, for
cleansing the blood. - Keep the blood healthy, and all is
Well ; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can
be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go
Wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or
overthrown.
During late years the public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of .Sarsa
parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any,
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we
have ground for believing it has virtues which are irre
sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure. '

ITEALING POWERS OF ELECTRI
CITY DEMONSTRATED ON OVER POUR THOU
SAND INVALIDS, AT LW WALNUT STREET, PHI
LADELPHIA. •
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at 1220 WALNUT. Street are permanent and re
liable. The first cure was 'performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly one year ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more alike cases
might be shown.
• READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
About twelve months ago I bad a severe attack of
Diabetes, attended with other difficulties too numerous
to mention. My desire for drink was constant, and al
though I drank gallons per day. my thirst was never
allayed; I was only able to sleep at short intervals,
which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my
.mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish,
that I was In constant misery. I was also suffering
from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite; Nau
sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and so
prostrated was my general system,-that -I was scarcely
able to move about. I had availed myself of the science
and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo
pathic and Homeopathic school, and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relief.
In this condition, when every ray of -hope seemed para
lysed, 1 heard of the discovery of -Professor Bolles in the
use of Electricity, and the-wonders he was performing in
curing disease, and placed 'myself -under his treatment ;
and, to the astonishment of myself and . friends, in two
c,'^erations my Diabetes was controlled; and -other difft
egliei zsin disappeared . ; my appetite has returned, sleep
undisturbed, :Lad , in fact, I teal like one made anew.
I would further state that I have seen other remark
able cares performid - Vrof. Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to call at • it: ''zut street, and be restored
to health. I shall be glad one information
calling on me. • TIMMAb 2AItROP,
• Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May Ist, 1660.
Reid the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, No. HITS Helmuth street, Philadel
phia: .
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoge
ther, were the most horrid; and even medical men did
not know my disease from patholo.ical symptoms. How
ever, Professor G.E. Bolles, by wlom I was cured, lo
cated any' disease in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes
after I entered his office, and offered.to warrant a perfect
cure in eight applications. And I frankly admit that in
eight applications of Electricity.. administered by Pro
fessor Bou.gs, 1.220 Walnut street, Philadelphia., I am
perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
bad exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and
grew worse.all the time.
I had long believed that in Electricity resided a potent.
agent for the cure of disease, if a right application could
be made ; and now I can comprehend, from its powerful
effects on me, for a speedy cure, although no shocks were
given. All was pleasant, and accomplishbd as if by
magic. •
I will give most of my symptoms, for the benefit of
suffering humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasmus, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body ; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart,
much bronchitis, trembling of the -limbs after exercise,
aversion to business and company; at times gloomy,- ina
bility to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject.
a loss of memory, pain in various parts of the body; suf
fered much from lumbago, deranged secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag
ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz
ziness.
I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to re
commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES tojthe
athicted of all classes. There seems to be no guesswork,
no confision no matter of doubt in his treatment. Re
proceeds on fixed principles, and according to axed laws,
which seem to me infallible and harmonious. He war
rants, by special contract, the most obstinate, chronic
and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he fails. I ad
vise all of the diseased to try his treatment.

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER
LIMES (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY 0011113I1TED
Read the following:
PHILADELPHIA, March 31, ISE3.
Puontssoa Boum. IMO Walnut street: The remarka
ble core which I have derived from your method of ap
plying Electricity compels me -to thus acknowledge the
great obligations I am underdo you for snatching me, ss
it were, from immediate death. About two years ago,
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited. was
an attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which
rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my
limbs. I employed sonic of the most celebrated physi
cians to be found in that section, but received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
was taken with a spasm, which one of my physicians
pronounced a fit or apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time before I became the least conscious of anything
that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
converse upon any subject without becoming very vi
sionary and excited, until I placed myself alder your
valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia
my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet
handed me by my father, which contaided_the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been - formerly acquainted
with, and whose statements I could rely upon. I imme
diately made up my mind to place myself under your
treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treat
ments, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I am re
stored to a sound condition, and thefore feel it my duty
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived through your treatment.
Very respectfully yours, am.,
WILLIAM H. SERIN,
Publisher of the National .2iferchant, office ]l6 South
SECOND Street, Philadelphia.
N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
guard them against trusting their health in the hands of
those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to
his discovery. This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at hzsard, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise
