The Municipal Hospital
Mr. BRIGHTLY presented a communisation from
the Commission for the erection of a municipal hos
pital on the city lot in Hart , ' lane. It included re
solutions showing that small-pox patients were now
treated at the Lazaretto ' and unless ,the disease
should become epidemic there is no need for a tem
porary building', and the money should be kept for
the erection of a permanent one.
In connection with the communication, Mr.
BRIGHTLY offered an ordinance making it dime

temporary building, which was agreed to.
Mr. WRTHBRILL offered a resolution asking the
city Solicitor to inform Conner. - ,. eat -ttst - rignt true

The Girsurd pidlege
Mr. BRIGHTLI%oaIIed up.the,veto of the Mayor to
the bill providing for th e admission 01 130 additional
pupils into Girard College: "
He disagreed with the Mayor that the income a
the Girard Estate was not sufficient to pay for the;
support of these additional pupils. The income of
the estate is $154,000, which at the -end of the
year, would leave a margin of $19,000, without ta
king into consideration the sum of $72,000 invested
in real estate on Brown - street. He was surprised
that the Mayor should object to the passage of this
bill, when many , of these pupils, who are now claim
ing admission, are the orphans of soldiers who have
died in the defence of the country. The views of
Mr. McCormick, Superintendent of the Girard Es
tate, as conveyed to the Mayor are these :
Ist. Estimated income of , the ' Residuary Fund for
1883 --
~ $136,000 00
2d. Appropriation' made by Council" to
date: For the College $84,860 00
' ' • • •
For the Estate
Deduct for reduction , of tsxes
Deficit 3,093 20
I have no doubt the revenue from the coal lands
this year will more than meet this defloit.
ad. I cannot say what the probable expenditures
for necessary repairs will be beyond the amount
already appropriated, as it remains with Councils
to make additional appropriations -or withhold
them.
4th. The difference to the present time between
the estimated and the actual revenue, is as follows :
Estimated revenue to date $102,000
Actual 101,826
sth. The indebtedness of the Residuary Fund to
the Eastern or Delaware Improvement Fund is
about $31,700.
The above indebtedness was created ill the erec
tion of twelve brick houses on Brown street, be.
tween Fifth and Sixth, which cost the Residuary
- Fund about $72.000 to build, from which the same
fund 'is receivig a rental of about $5,000 per an
num.
6th. The Amount of claims outstanding against
- the Eastern or Delaware Improvement Fond, as far
as I can ascertain, is about $16,000
Vith. I have no other means of ascertaining the
expected rental of the coal lands but from estimates
furnished by those who profess to have some know
ledge of the matte; and their estimates vary from
$30,000 to $50 ; 000 for the year 1864. My own im
pression is, it will reach about $26,000 for the - same
period of time. I think we can safely calculate upon
the following income for-the year 1864: •
From real estate and stocks or loans $148,000 00
Cknil lands 25,000 00
$113,000 00
Yours respestfull7, P. MoCOEMIOK,
Superintendent Girard Estate.
Mr. WETIBIULL said there is a heavy deficiency
is that - fund, and there is not the money to spare for
that purpoie. The Mayor knows this, and is per
featly right in what he says. We owe, of that in
come, $31;000 to the Delaware Improvement Fund,
and by , the misapplication of that fund we have lost
$16,000 more. The entire deficiency is $66,930. There
are other 'circumstances, besides, that cannot be
overlooked. .It is intended to. introduce 130 more
pupils with,leachers. -To turn out the teacherefrom
the college, and erect out-buildings for them, the ex
_urea terms of the will would be directly violated.
The thing looks as though there were much more
anxiety to provide handsomely for the teachers than
the introduction of more pupils.
The Mayor has quite as much sympathy for the
orphan child of the soldier as the gentleman from
the Twenty-second ward, but he must be just, and
be cannot vote away money that does not exist.
He would gladly receive into Girard Coller any
number of , children, but, as an honest legisla or he
could not vote away money that was not to be had.
Hr. Davin took the same view as Mr. Wetherlll.
He said there are mandamuses to the amount of
$16,000 hanging over the estate. There is a determi
nation on the part of some member, to embarrass
this estate. F.ven if the sum asked (or was granted,
what is SIO,IIIHI for. the maintenance of one hundred
and thirty pupils I The whole scheme le visionary
and impracticable. No man can excel my regard
for the eoldiere and my sympathy for their children.
The money cannot be appropriated, as the estate is
already plunged into debt.
Atter much discussion on the subject, Mr. Spe
ring moved that the further consideration of the
veto be postponed till next Thursday. Yeas 14
nays 7.
The deficiency bill of the Highway Department
was then taken up, and, after several items were
postponed, it was moved that the Committee be,
allowed leave to sit again, which was agreed to,
Mr. Bronx moved that the bill relative to appro.
pristine $l,OOO to pay the,,committee for the pur
pose of visiting Boston and New York be taken up.
He said he wanted, for the credit of the schools and
for the credit of the city, that this request of the
committee be granted. They have come forward
and presented their request, and if Councils thought
the amount too large they might reduce it.
Mr. WI/TERRILL said there was no necessity for
the committee to go to those Mile', as they can go
to the Fifteenth section in this city, and -there find
a school that will compete with any in Boston or
New York, and besides, if they are to go, it should
not be till after the passage of the $ lOO,OO O loan bill.
The debate was carried on at length, after which
Mr. Catherwood offered 'the following amendment
to the resolution:
Provided that no money shall be expended under
this ordinance, unless at least a majority of the
members from each chamber of the joint standing
Committee on Schools, including the chairman
thereof, shall actually visit the said cities ot New .
York and Boston ; and that the Committee on
Schools be requested to give to this chamber a full
report in , detail of the facts obtained from the visit,
which was agreed to.
On motion to suspend the rule, a quorum was not
present.:
The
The Chamber then adjourned.

THE P_OLIOE.
(Before Mr. Alderman Reiner.]
Charged with Arson.
A. man who had been employed as stableman and
coachman by Dr. Francis Sims was arraigned at the
Central Station yesterday afternoon on the charge
of arson, in setting fire to the Doctor's• stable, on
Barclay street, at a late hour on Monday night.
Several witnesses were examined. It seems that
the accused had been employed for some time
by Dr. Simi, but owing to bad conduct, was dis
charged. He, exhibited a sullen disposition, and
when remonstrated with, because of his conduct,
replied, "I'll do a d—d sight worse." The Doctor
desired to - know whether he made that as a threat,
to which the accused mumbled out something that
he could not understand. . •
Several other witnesses were called. One of
them, Richard Kalish, a member of the Good Intent
Bose, was early upon the ground. He found the
fire in the rear part of the loft of the stable. The
prisoner remain through the stable and asked where
the . horsea were. He was told they were got out.
He then passed into the yard, and Mr. Heidi
rented the stream of water to another part of the
fire so that it'kept the sensed in the yard. There
were a couple of matches found on the prisoner.
These are all the main- points elicited. The case
went over for a further bearing.
Fire Marshal Blackburn-did not contend that he
had sufficient evidence, so far, to convict ;. but he
Would sift the matter still further, and if: he could
gain nothing additional, he would ask for the dis
charge of the defendant at the next hearing. The
accused was held to bail.
Assa'ulting a Soldier
Edward Duff was arraigned, yesterday, on the
charge of committing an assault and battery npon
W. Hudson, sergeant of company 0, 157th , T.
T., who hails furlough for twenty days. It seems
that the sergeant and a friend were about to take a
sociable drink at an establishment near. Fifth and
Ohealnut streets; Duff , was invited to join,. but re 7
fused. He and tie sergeant were old acquaintance".
Be made some remarks about nigger', righting-for
niggers, moo. The sergeant - remonstrated with him
upon the impropriety of such language, whereupon
Duff struck him a blow upon the nose which split
that important organ partly open. , Dun' then ran
away, was pursued. and arrested. He was bound
ever,in the sum of $l,OOO to answer , at court.
(Before Mr. Alderman White.]

THE CITY RAILROAD ON BROAD STREET—MRS CITE
orIDiNANOR NOR ITS REMOVAL—AIe INJUNCTION
' The Southwark Railroad Company vs. The 0 - Iry
of Philadelphia et al. This wee an applicationfor an
injunction on bill filed against the City, the Super
intendent of City Railroads, the Chief Commis.
sionerof Highways, and the Chief Engineer and
Surveyokto -restrain the city from removing the
city railroad on Broad street, between Olive ands
South, or any part thereof, or in anywise breaking
the connection between the Southwark Railroad and
the City Railroad, and for a,deeree that • the cola,
plainanto have the right to connect with the city
railroad, subject to all reasonable rules and regula
tions, and that the defendants are without authori
ty of law to remove the said city railroad, or any
part thereof.
The bill sets'out the 'construction, in 1833, of the
City Railroad on Broad street, from Vine street,.
under an act of the Leghlature of 1.831, authorizing
the city to construct a railroad from Vine street:to
South, then the northernmost and southernmost
boundaries of the city; for the purpose .of establish
ing a continuous line of railway from the interior of
the State, through the • city, to its 'southernmost
boundary by means , of "a: connection between the
said City !Railroad and the Philadelphia and Colum
bia Ratiroad,-and that the road has yielded a large
revenue to the city, accruing from the toll earned by
the same from the transportation of freight thereon,
that the-Southwark Railroad were authorized by
law, approved April 2, 1831, to construct . a railroad
from the river Delaware to Broad and Cedar ' now
South, to connect thereat with the Arad City Rail
road, and also to build a railroad from Broad street
to the river Schuylkill; that they have constructed
at great expense a railroad extending from the Dela
were river to City Railroad at Br6ad and South ; that
the primary object for which the Southwark Rail-
I road Company was created was to provide a railway
connection between said City Railroad and the riven..
Delaware and Schuylkill, so as to forma continuous "
line of railway from the interior of the State through
the city ; that the franchises of the company included
the right to ur.ite their railroad with the City Rail
road at Broad and South, and thereby establish a
continuous line of railway as aforesaid ; and that it
would not have been built in ease it had been re•
quired to terminate at Broad and South without the
tight of connecting with . the City Railroad, and
keeping a continuous line of railway through the
,city ; that the road was built in 1837, Simla. When it
has been - Uninterruptedly used as apart of a Clon
. thrums line of railway for the transportation of
freight through said city ; that warehouses, foundries,
manufactories,. coal, lime, and lumber yards have
been established upon- Broad street and Wash ! .
in ton avenue, along the line of the road, from
which turnouts have been constructed for the
conveyance into thesame of goods, merchandise,
produce, and other article', which- ; are brought to
promimell over the continuous line of railway
formed by the junction of the Southwark and City
Railroads at Broad and South streets; that complain
, ants derive a large revenue from the *eight passing
over their railroad to and from these establishments,
and that their income from this source would be out
oft by a - severance of the connection between their
railroad and the City Railroad.
That the City Councils, by ordinance approved
May 18th, 1863, authorized the removal of the City
Railroad from Olive to South- street, from theist
of October then next ; that the ordinance was
passed without the .knowledge or consent of com
plainants ; that its enforcement would • inflict upon
them a grievous - and 'irreparable injury; that the
removal of the City Railroad would interrupt the
continuity of the railway line through Broad street
to the'rivers Delaware and Schuylkill; would de
stroy the legitimate business of the Southwark
Railroad; would be without color of law, and take
from complainants one of the most valuable fran
chises secured to• them by their charter, without
' compensation paid or secured to them, in violation
of the Constitution of the State and United States.
That the removal of the City Railroad would ma
teriafty diminish the revenue which the city de
rives from tolls accruing, from the transit of
cars over said railroad ; that large quanti
ties of coal. Iron, lime, - and lumber, and ge
neral merchandise pass over the same from
the =Philadelphia and Reading and North Penn
sylvania Railroads, - to be used in the southern'or
southwestern section of the city, or to be forwarded
over the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Railroad, to difterent places along•its line; that
goods and merchandise destined to, or sent from, the
southern portion of this. State, Delaware, Maryland,
District of Columbia, and the Western and South
western States, are transported in oars over the City
Railroad, by means of its connection with the South
wark Railroad ; that the Adams Express Company
have established, at Broad •and Locust, a ddpOt for
the reception and delivery of freight Ac . ; and that
the removal of the road would deprive the city of
the income accruing from the tolls paid by the said
company, for the use of the said City Railroad. And
the prayer for the injunction as before stated.
Other bills, praying for a similar injunction, have
been filed by certain coal and lime dealers whose
yards are located on Broad street, and who aver that
