THE city. MARCH 17, 1884. 4O 30 41 41 sw ISw.* ....S sw WNW...WNW Thb Fenian Brotherhood —Phbbenta- ov a Ftao.— Yeiterday afternoon Concert Ball W« densely peeked by the friends of the (•Fenian Brotherhood,” an organization whose objects and purpotes are already known to those who take an interest in the regeneration of Ireland. It ia composed entirely of Irishmen or the sons of Irishmen, and notwithstanding it has been con demned aa a secret body by many of the Catholic bishops in this country and in Irelan , the strength of the organization is almost beyond benef. Dii tinetion of creed is entirely discarded, and only one sentiment is the bond of union—the re-establish* ment of Irish nationality by revolution. Yesterday was taken as a fitting occasion to express the views of the Brotherhood in. Philadelphia, and a hand some green national flag, bearing the suuburst d harp, was presented on behalf of the lady friends of the members. The walls of the Hall were deco rated with appropriate legends, such as “ Who dares to speak of ’98?” “ Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow,” &c. The donor* were represented by Mr. Wm.J,Turner, who, on the occasion, delivered an eloquent appeal to Irishmen, that they would unite in still stronger friendly brotherhood to accomplish the object so near to theheart of the Irish nation alist. Referring to the charge of secrecy, with which the Brotherhood had been assailed, the speaker said that so much did he himself disapprove secret bodies, that as anxious as he was to witness the deliverance of Ireland from her cruel bondage, much at he loved the land of his birth, he could not do violence to his conscience by Identifying himself with a scoret *T!? though that society were tfle .^iS^chleref wuS , h« Irt .h h e<STh a lo oi imperishable glory “SStag the .la ir night of .offering, through which lhi Triih people have rawed, they were ever true to Ij?® rniivictieu that man’* first duty ia to God; hia n»n?h| D tn his country; and they would not prove f.l'raPhhJtn ltnmv, evea did they not know that „.n be obtained for their native land without i violation ot anj of Heaven’s law*. The origin of the Fenian organization wu touched upon, and reference made to the ancient knight, of Ireland, who bore the Fenian name. Heaiitanoe to Britiah oppression could not justly be regarded a. rebellion, for England haa no right, in Ireland, cave sues a. the robber haa over hia prostrate and bleeding -victim. The .oil of Ireland rightfully belongs to the Iriah people. They never conveyed it to others. In the day of th.ir weakneaa it wa«. wrested from them by the strong hand of violence, and it wai clearlv their right to repo.ee.. themselves of it, whenever the dpportuuity may offer, even though Its recovery ahould involve the neoeuity of ailed dina the blood of the aooiler. There waa no further use of argument. It had been tried time and again without ineoeea. Prayer, implication, and teara have been tried, and tried in vane The Fenian Brotherhood would uae other and more* emphatic argument, at the suitable time. Let It not be said, continued the speaker, that the fate of Ireland ahould be left to those who remain at home. The work of depopulation ia progreaaing with alarming rapidity. Barge numbers of the best fiahtimr men of our race are in exile, and the ma fitnalvoice of Erin calls on them for assistance ere it be too late. Their foster mother, young and beauteous America, who ha. heard with delight on a hundred field* their wild ahouta of deflauce, ai thev with the “•unburst" unfurled, charged with irresistible bravery on the foe, In defence of her honor and ot her starry banner, will not only not ob hut to an affirmative response, but will admire the final devotion which lnduoei them to rush to the defence of her on whose bosom they reposed in in f*The flag was received by Mr James Gibbons, Head Centre of the Fenian Brotherhood in Pennsylvania.

After the reading of a poem by Mr. Lambert, written for the occasion, and an address by Captain "Welsh, of the Army of the Potomac, the exercises concluded. Franklin Institute—An Interesting Meeting.—An unusually interesting meeting was held last eveniae, at which Professor Fleury read a well-written aul highly-instructive article on the method of dissolving icatne in syrup and afterwards transferring it into oil, the syrup being removed. The Protestor also at some length explained, much to the satisfaction of his scientific listeners, the construction ol a French carbonio acid and artifi cial spring-wafer fountain. These preliminaries being over, Mr. Howson displayed and explained the use of the following-named articles: An improved oil cup invented by Hubert Sobs, of Bethlehem, Pa. A tobacco pipe made by J. Shaw. Septimus Winner's self-instructing scale for pi anos. W. Stark£-j ? s improved lamp chimney. J, Flick’s patented shutter fastener, J, Candy's improved soap bowl. J.

A memorial 10 the Legislature, asking for changes in the eharti r vt the Institute was read. Also, a letter from the Secretary of the Navy, requesting that the Institute appoint a committee of three gentlemen, to act in conjunction with others appointed by the Academy of Sciences and the Navy Department, to investigate the subject of the ex haustion of st< am. AkOTHBK PaSSKHOEB RAILBOAD Coiilil siON.—Two i aeaenger railroad cars came in colli sion last evening at the intersection of Thirteenth street and Mount Vernon, by which one passenger was injured. The pole of one car ran through the body of the other. One of the horses was so badly irjured that it was considered necessary to kill him. Thus la added to the list of passenger railroad acci dents another one that makes a person shudder to contemplate. Fortunately in this instance neither car was crowned, or the collision would have been attended with a result as shocking, perhaps, as that which occurred on the Second and Third street road some time since, by which a woman was shockingly maimed for life, and several other persons Injured. The companies owe it to the community to pass a stringent Jaw to make the drivers walk the horses when about *o cross any intersection of two road*, particularly where locomotives are used. Unless such be done, no person can feel secure while riding in the cars. Sword Presentation. — On Wednesday evening Lieutenant Atwood G. Sims, of the 83th Regiment, P V., was the recipient of a magnificent sword, aa a token of the esteem entertained for him as a gallant a.jlcier of the Union. The Lieutenant reuibed fait jitomui yoiition by hi. acts ol bravery and noble bearing in the cause of his country. The speech of urcaentation was made by Mr. Charles B.

With fair weather and genial sunshine, nothing wai want, iug to render the ocoaslon all that the most zealous friend of a due eelebr&tion of auah an important dar could desire. No peculiar incident occurred to distinguish the dap from any other, exoepting the parade of the 69th Veteran Regiment and the more quiet imcoor oeiebrationß of the civic societies. The 69th paraded with about one hundred and fifty men, the heroic remnant of a gallant regiment which left the city at tbe out reak of the war with full tanka of stalwart, brave men. Religiously, the day was commemorated in St, Patrick’s Church, Twentieth and Locust streets, by a very orowded congregation. Solemn Pontifical Mass, under the direction of Rt.

The regular stated meeting of both branohes of the City Councils was held yesterday afternoon* SELECT BRANCH. Mr. Kino (O ) presented from ci tizens, complaining of the site of the market-house on Callowhiil street, near New Market street, as a nuisance. Referred to Committee on City Property. Mr. WBTBBBiLL (U.) presented a eommuuicfttioa from tbe president of the Reading Railroad Compa ny, in reference to the streets crossing the railroad at grade. In this connection. Mr. WetheriU intro duced a resolution instructing the Committee on Surveys to confer with the offioers of the Reading Railroad Company, so that some plan may be adopt ed by which the interests of both the city aad the railroad company may be promoted, and the safety of the Btreet-orosßings be secured. Adopted. Mr. Wbthbrili. also presented a communication from the Trustees of the City Ice-boat, recommend ing an appropriation for an additional ioe-boat. Re ferred. Mr* Davie (U.) presented a communication from, the Chief Engineer of the Water Works in reference to the Kensington Water Works. Mr. Birkenbine refers to a report made by him in 1858, in which he attributes the bad condition of the works to the in sufficient depth of the water, and recommending Council* to deepen the water at the front of the works on the Delaware* Mr. Davis offered an ordinance making an appro priation of $3,600 to enable the ohief engineer to carry out the plan suggested. There was some discussion as to the propriety of this appropriation, it not being established that it would remedy the defects in the works. It was sug gested that the ordinance should go to the committee for examination, while on the other hand it was con tended that there was no time for delay ia view of the approach of gwarm weather. The bill was re ferred to the Oommitte e on W ater. Mr. Davis (U ) submitted a communication from the Chief Engineer of the Water Works la reference to the advance in the price of oonduit pipe and labor. Mr. Berkenbine reports that the cost of pipe for 1864 will be $l.lO per foot. The cost of lasing pipe at the present price of labor and the ne cessary expenses in laying the same will be 55 cents per foot. In view of the increased price it will be necessary for the city to increase the price of front age from 75 cents per foot (the present price) to $1 per foot to meet the expenses of laying the service mains. Mr. Davis offered a resolution directing the Clerks to lay the subject before the State Legisla ture, with reference to an amendment to the act of Assembly, and to prevent the adoption of the aot to decrease the price. Adopted A furiher communication was received from the Chief Engineer of the Water Works, stating that an additional appropriation of $29,850 was needed to carry on the works during 1864. Ordered to be printed. The proceedings of a meeting of citizens of Ger mantown, in reference to a supply of pure water, was received and referred to the Committee on Water. A message was received from the Mayor, announc ing that he had signed the ordinance increasing the salaries in the Department of City Property, but adding that in his opinion there was no necessity for such an increase in the cases of the principal officers. The following message was received from the Mayor: Gentlemen : I transmit a copy of a communica tion addressed to me January 9th, by Charles Dutilb, president of the Pennsylvania Company for Insurance on Lives and Granting Annuities, and also of another, dated March 16 ;b, from Joseph O. Harris. These communications otter to the eity the purchase of League Island, if concluded before the Ist day of April next, at the prices named for the respective ownerships. After whioh date such offers will be withdrawn, and other negotiations will be sought for its disposal. la view of the repeated efforts made by this city to induce the Federal Government to accept League Island as the naval depot for the construction of iron-clad ships, and in the belief that the manifest advantages of this location will yet overcome sec tional jealousies and private greed, and cause its aelection for national use, I recommend Councils to enact the authority necessary for the purchase of this property. Should the expectations which have for two years past been reasonably indulged Drove fallacious, the premises would be still a valuable acquisition to the city for various purposes, such as a park, or a location for any public institution, and would afford the control of a large part of the city river front, whieh must at no distant day prove of great value and importance, Mr. Seeking (U) offered an ordinance authorizing the purchase of League Island lor public purposes. $340,000 is appropriated for the purpoae. Mr. Wether ill (U.) hoped he would not be mis understood in his desiieto have this ordinance re : ferred to the Committee on League Island. No man i could be more sincere in his advooacy of League | Island than he was. We have for two years been ! presiing this aa the proper site, and we think we i nave nearly succeeded, but suppose New London is selected, Philadelphia will have the property, with no use to put it to, and will increase our ex penses $lB,OOO per annum. It seemed to him that if the owners of League Island were made acquainted with the present position of affairs they would not attempt to force us to take action at this time. At hast, an extension of time might be secured, Cer i tainly, the committee should have an opportunity | to ascertain why there has been an increase in the ! price of the ground. : Mr. Seeking (U.) thought no stronger reason for | the purchase could be urged than that contained in : the Mayor's message. The owners of the ground have had advantageous offers for thlß property, and ' the interests of their corporation will not permit them to delay any longer. Mr. Ginnodo (CJ.) stated that, aa & member of the Committee on League Island, he had not acquiesced in this bill. He could not appreciate the necessity for haste. A committee had endeavored to secure the acceptance by the Government of League Island, and its courae was known to the Chamber. Now we hear that the owner of a small portion of League Island increases the price nearly double. Way was . this? What would Philadelphia do with the island | if it is not accepted by the Government 2 It made ; him shudder when he thought it possible that some ; peisons had received information that Philadelphia i was to be ignored as a site for a naval station. He i did not believe there was any corporation or indi • vidual willing to give $300,000 for this island, except the city or Government, and hence he was not fright : ened by the assertion that the city would lose the i island unless she took action at once. Mr. King (O.) urged delay in view of the large sums Councils will be called upon to appropriate for bounties, and for the removal of the State capital to Philadelphia. He did not believe the Government intended to aooept League Island, and the city would be saddled with a worthless piece of property. Mr. Seeking (U.) explained that the ordinance introduced by him came in with the Mayor's mes sage. Finding it met with opposition in the Chamber, he would agree to the reference to the committee. As for the assertion that no one would give as much as the city, the speaker had authority for saying that the insurance company had an offer of a laige amount, but was anxious to give Philadelphia an opportunity to secure the aite. The ordinance was referred to the Committee en League Island. Mr. Miller reported an ordinance from the Com mittee on Defence and Protection, making a further appropriation of one million dollars to pay bounties, and declaring that it is inexpedient to make a fur ther appropriation than the above until our quota is definitely stated. Mr. Ginnodo said there was something going on in this matter not known to members of Councils. He knew of an instance of gross abuse. Several recruits were entitled to $250. Of this amount eaoh had received $5O, and the men were then marched to the barracks, where $2OO was taken from them, notwithstanding their remonstrances, and a receipt given. Mr. G- had applied to General Cadwalader for an explanation, ana had been referred to Captain Haldeman, who stated that this course was cus tomary, and made necessary in order to pievent desertions. The speaker thought there were other modes whioh might be adopted, without taking the money from the men. He desired Councils to take measures to protect the soldiers. Mr. Wkthbbill (U.) desired Philadelphia to have justice done her. New York furnishes 16.000 men, or one per cent, on 800 000 men, while Phila delphia was asked to furnish 20,000, or two per cent, on the million of men. Of the draft of last summer we receive credit for only 3,500 men. He was con fident that we have filled our quota under all the calls, including the last call. Seven regiments of colored troops have left the city, nearly all of whom have credited themselves to Philadelphia and been paid the bounty. These alone could go far towards filling our quota. Other States and cities can ascer tain their quota, but Philadelphia cannot obtain any information. For these reasons he hoped the a stand that no more bounty shall ™ o n a l? U atil our ( l uota known. We have done W Tiri a raSr« ow ia the time to insist on our rights. hJ V M‘r B w»t?T L Y, (u, \ hoped the oourie tuegaitefl , wou J d be Adopted. Philadelphia -o o'tra loyal that .be ha. not believed it po.nble lor the Prealdent to do any wrone and the return for ell thi. confidence ha. bmiLtof burden, we have not .ought to bully the Adminl.traUon by rfote and It i. time our right, were reoocnizad. v The ordinance then passed. Dr. Kamebiy offered a resolution that In no event shall the bounty of Philadelphia exceed $250 to each volunteer. Considerable debate ensued in reference to the ex pediency of this notion, Dr. Kambrly stating that it was desirable to dis pose of the question and relieve the public mind of the impression that the amount was to be ineieaied. The re«olutlouwa» adopted. A communication wai reoeived from the Commit, ■loner of City Property aubmitting the following ap pointment.: Clerk, .Tohn D.

Referred to the Committee on City Pro perty- Mr. aanb called up the ordinance which repeals the clause inserted last year requiring the Commis sioner of Highways to come to Councils for instruc tions before awarding contracts. The ordinance waa adopted, after a number of amendments had been proposed aDd voted down* Mr. Miller (U ) called up the bill regulating the sewerage of the oity. It provides that all persons who desire to oonneot with sewers shall pay a license of $lO, except in oases where the parties have already paid their proportion of the expenses of constructing the culvert fronting their premises. The ordinance was disoussed and amended, and then referred to the Committee on Survey*. The ordinance from Common Council providing for the removal of the capital of the State from Harrisburg to Philadelphia waa taken up. Mr. Wbthbrill (U.) inquired what advantages Would result to Philadelphia by such a removal T Mr. Spbbiko (U.) l that, after the cries of economy, here wa» a propneal to ipend $1,000.000 to bring the Legislature to Philadelpnia. He would much rather expend the same amount of money to induce them to go further away. Mr. Armstbono (O). “If we put up these build ings, how long do they guarantee they will stay here Mr Davis (U) thought it would be advantageous to Philadelphia to have the Legislature in this city. Legislation adverse to our interests would then at> tract attention, and not be .likely to go through, as at present. Mr. Brightly (O.) agreed with Mr. Davis. If the Legislature met in Philadelphia, the city would have a better representation, and our interests would be considered in the legislation. |l Mr. Wbthbrill said he was tired of hearing dis cussed these forced monies or bringing trade to Phi ladelphia. If our people desire to prosper they must put their own shoulders to the wheel, and by tbe manufacture of the best goods, at the lowest prices, attract trade. . .. Mr. Ltnd suggested that the amount that would be expended at places of amusement would more than pay the interests on the amount proposed to be expended in oase the capital should be removed to Philadelphia. Finally, the bill was postponed until Thursday next. Mr. 'Wkthbbill (U.) introduced a resolution in reference to the proposed postal railroad.

He thought that its effect wonltt be to stop en listments. It would place the city in a diUtuma if the quota could not be ascertained for some time. There should be no such provision in the bill that no bounty Wt uldts paid till Hie quota was known. He was op poted on principle to the bounty system; but, as it has been inaugurated it must continue Mr Loi ' Hi.ix (O.) expressed him3©lf against the pay ment of bounty until the quota was known. The Com mitsioneiß of the Bounty hand had paid out Over three millions inbountUs. and there was only $200,000 of the appropriation yet remaining. Mr. Eekk said that tc.ougn New Fork ha* a riot about the draft, and. iu comparison with Philadelphia, fur nished fewer men to the army, yet that city could have its quotakiiowu, and reduced when it w»s shown that the quotaa«o-i<ned ro the citv was erroneously large. The ordinance was concurred in, and Council ad journed. THE POLICE. [Before Mr. U. S. Commissioner SeTseart.] The four n?en arrested at or near Pottsville, Pa., a short time sinoo, on the charge of breaking up a meeting of citizens that had been called for the purpose of subscribing funds to assist in raising volunteers, had a final hearing yesterday afternoon, and were discharged. The principal part of the evi dence went to show that one man, who had incurred bad feeling because he had arrested a deserter, was attacked at the meeting, and had to flee for safety. This could not rise above the dignity of a simple assault and battety at a promiscuous meeting. The proceedings of the ease, however, elicited an in teresting fact or two, showing the existence of a secret society of ** Noodles," who cannot appreciate greatness, nor the contempt entertained for them by the aristocracy of the South, now warring against the rights of the people and the rest of mankind. A Mr. Cruscman, an intelligent Pennsylvania German, one who may be styled E t Pluribus Utium, was called to the witness stand as an interpreter. He . was then questioned as to his knowledge of a secret conspiracy to resist the Government. He said that he did belong to any such an association, but he knew of the existence of such a body of men. Oa a certain occasion a meeting was held at a tavern ; here it was publicly stated that a private meeting would he formed, but that nobody could come in uu le.she was willing to take an oath not to betray any member in anything they might do ; the man who stated this was a German from Germany ; the j constitution was written in the German language ; 1 he asked several to read it, and then interpret it in ! English or Pennsylvania Dutch; several were asked to do it, but they being so dumb, word incom petent to perform the task. An appeal was then made to witness to read the written constitution and translate it. He complied. At the present time he could not give the exact words, but he could give the pith or substance of it. First, the members were to pledge themselves ia a promise not to betray eaoh other, while the war was going on ; that a draft was rcoing to be made to free the negroes, which the members mustjreslit; if any one of the club got drafted, then all the others would pledge their lives, fortunes, and honor to pro tect him j that the members must assist each other in resisting the draft. This constitution also set forth, or declared, that the National Administration was an abolition scheme against the Constitution of the United States, and a degradation of the people; and, therefore, the members must oppose it The witness said this was about the sum and sub stance of the written dooument; he did not know who wrote it. The man who brought it there stated that if anybody felt disposed to join by signing the constitution, then they would belnstructed further. There were twenty nr twenty-five people present; witness and half a dozen others went away, not wishing to have anything to do with such an orga nization. In two weeks, another meetiag was held ; the German was to receive one-half of the initiation fee for his trouble, and for making a speech, but the party did not go into seoret meeting; they got into the room to hold one, but, because there happened to be some soldiers present, they stopped; these soldiers pushed the door in and came into the room, and said to the German that if he had anything to say about the country he must speak out publicly and not in secresy; the soldiers told him to get up and make a speech, and they would pay him the amount oi a good day's wages. After awhile a sol dier went to this German and asked him what he was going to do. The German replied. “You go away and mind your own business.” The soldier wanted to hear the speech, but the German would not; then a Utile spree was indulged in, and the German was driven out. There was some money on the table; this was grabbed up by men at the meeting. These interesting facts being developed at the hearing yesterday belong to the public, and thus we present them. ' There was no evidence that&Qyof the defendants were members of the association of the oath-bound disloyalists, hence their discharge. [Before Mr- Alderman Baitler. J Forgery Illustrated. Rather a new method of “ raising the wind,” was developed at the Central Station yesterday after noon. Once in a long while similar attempts have been made, but there is no era in the police business of Philadelphia, when it was practiced so success fully and to so great an extent in so short a space of time. It is a swindling trick likely to succeed, un less storekeepers and residents exercise more cau tion. The particulars of the case are as follows: Gbat. H. JohDion, a colored boy, aged is year*, was arraigned on the charge of rorgery, by which means lie obtained money under false pretenoes. A short time since he stopped at the store of Mr. Joeiah H. Dilks, 37 south Eighth street, and pre sented a note to the daughter of Mr. ])., in attend, ance. The note purported to come from Mr. Dilks, and it asked that $4 be handed to the bearer. The daughter, supposing the note to come from her father, passed four dollars to the colored boy, who went his way rejoioiag. The accused stopped at the store of Mr. Straw bridge, on the same street, and asked if he was in- The reply was, no. The inquirer went away, and in a short time presented a note, as coming from Mr* S., asking that all the money in the drawer be given to bearer. The note also stated that Mr. S. would not return until tea time. The attendant in the store took all the money ($23) that happened to be in the drawer at the time, handed the same to the nice tittle colored lad, who started off with the spoils he had thus obtained. _' The acouied also visited the store of Messrs. Smith Sc Stenhenlok, on Eighth street, near Market, and, by the same method, received the sum of $3. He also paid a professional visit to the store of W. J. Spence, on Ninth street, near Chestnut, where he obtained the amount of ninety cents. The prisoner was searched in the private room, ; and on his person was found a note, purporting to have been written by Mr. Servos*, store-keeper on Second street, making the following modestlrequest: Ptease give bearer the aooordeon on the second shelf." it is supposed that other people have been duped In a similar manner by the “ artful dodger ” l arrest. li s o, they may leave information of THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY. MARCH 18, 1864. the flame at the Central Station. The Moused was committed In default of $2,000 bail to answer. CBefore Mr. Alderman White. 1 Landlord and Tenant—Case of Larceny* A man, named Patrick Kelly, was committed yes terday, by ihe police magistrate or the Fifth word, to answer the charge of the laroeoy of a watch, the property of Henry Ferris, a car-driver residing in tbe vicinity of Thirteenth and Carpenter streets, The developments of this case open to view the heartlessncM or landlords and the difficulty of poor people, however honest and hard-working they may be, to keep a roof above their own heads. It seems the rent became due on Wednesday, and Mr, Ferris, the tenant, had not quite enough to pay the amount. The landlord, or course, was not to be put off; no exouse eould be taken. Mrs. Ferris had gone to Smyrna, Del., to see a sick daughter, aud conse quently the landlord had to hunt for the husband. The latter promised to pay the rent on the follow ing morning—that of yesterday. The labor of capdriving being over, Mr* Ferris returned home. He wanted only $4 to meet the rent. Several efforts to raise the amount being in vain, he gave bis watch to his son to go and pawn. The lad started off at rather a late hour on Wednes day night, and, reaching a pawnshop at Fifth and South street b, rapped at the door. At this mo ment Pat Kelly stepped up, and asked the boy u what he wanted. 1 ’ “ I want to pawn a watch,” replied the lad. “ Where (lid you get it,” responded the stranger. “ My father gave it to me to raise four dollars on to pay the rent,” said the boy. “ me look at it,” asked Ketly, The lad pulled the watch out of bis vest pooket, tbe chain being hooked to a button hole. The stranger jerked It loose and ran away with it. The cry of stop thief was raised, and Officer Sigmund quickly responded, and arrested the fugitive. These facts having been developed, the magistrate asked tbe accused what he had to say. “Nothing at all, sir,” replied the prisoner, “ excepting that I thought the boy had not come honestly by the watch, and I just took it, sir, intending to see the boy’t father; that is, sir, I took is for safe keeping.” Tbe wortby magistrate failed to see lit in this light, and therefore held the accused to HUI. Bounty Jumpers Arrested. John Smith wan arrested on the charge of assist ing two young men to desert whom he had reoruited; be had a final hearing yesterday morning, after which he was discharged. He accompanied the guard after the escape of the recruits had been made, as reported pretty full in The Press yesterday, and succeeded in reospturiug them. This alone saved bis bacon. The reoruits, unless well watched, will escape, as they are regarded as bounty jumpers. Supreme Court at Nisi Prlus-Jiidge Agnew. Thornton Barnes vs, The Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
