Christian Commission—An Incident.
To the Editor of The Press:
SIR : About three weeks ago the writer was a pas.
senger on a West-bound express train of the Penn
sylvania Central. Among the many , passengers
was a very sick soldier and his devoted wife. She
had been watching with him for weeks, in a hospi
tal near Washington City ; and, in their anxiety to
get home, they had started tco soon. He Seemed to
sink with exhaustion, until, unable to sit alone, he
reclined upon his wife's shoulder. The wife wept,
and those near by could scarcely refrain from tears
as they looked upon the pale, emaciated soldier and
his care-worn wife. Presently a young, delicate).
looking man approached, wearing upon his left
breast the badge of the Christian Commission. Ito
entered into conversation with the soldier's wife,
and soon manifested a deep interest in her case, and
that of her sick husband. He aided in supporting
ythe weak man, greatly to the relief of the wife. Af.
ter going a low milts, at a stopping place the dele
gate left the car a moment, and returned with a
good supply of delicacies, such as would refresh tho
sick man and his worn.out companion. He paid
constant attention to the two until, arriving at Pitts
burg, he Could go no farther with them. He left the
oar as soon as it stopped, but soon returned, hand
it g the lady checks fur her baggage, which he had
rechecked to her order. Then be obtained help and
Carried the sick soldier tenderly to another train,
and had the two comfortably prepared for their Jour.
fey farther. Ho then offered the lady some money,
which she politely declined, as not in need of it.
The delegate of
the Commission then
took - leave of
the sick soldier and his wife, and both wept tears of
gratitude uttering their " Gno bless , you and the

passage of a law allowing the City Councils to tax
personal property.

pone. -lie was tired of lauding and thanking men
for doing their official duty.
Mr. Lorronraw thought that too much thanks
could not be passed upon these gentlemen for secur
ing the passage of this bill. The manner of taxing
rstate alone and allowing personaiproperty to
tiroly exempt was unjust and oppressive.
Messrs. BRIGOI6 (U) and GRAY (U.) also favored
the passage of the bill.
Mr. TAYLOR (U.) declared that the conscientious
discharge of public duty in these days of progress'
was a rare thing, and he moved to amend by adding

Bargar , s name the words, "and such other gentle-
men who favored the passage of the bill." tie be.
sieved that Mr. Barger was entitled to some consi
deration for the trouble he had taken in answering
the veto of the Governor. The veto was vulnerable
enough, but Mr. Barger bad shown It up in such a
plain manner, and bad taken so much pains, and
gone to so much labor for the purpose, that he was
entitled to special thanks.

adopted.

PARTMENT
The Chamber took up the bill making an addi
tional appropriation of ,$'97,000 to the Highway De
r rtment, which was postponed frtin the last meet.
LonOWIAW (04 Opposed the bill. Council s
had already appropriated $217,150 to the Highway
: Department. In the streets of Philadelphia we
have 150 miles Of passenger railways and those corn.
Wadies were required to keep !the streets In repair,
and if this matterWere,properly looked after there
would be no necessity for Asia additional apiiroprt
.ations.

Mr. Bitioos (II.) Urged the absolute necessity for
the passage of the bill. Streets were in a terrible
condition for want of repairs. Complaints were
made daily of accidents occurring by reason of the
fitreetS not being put In proper order. The apprO
priationS which had been made had been entirely
expended, and it was necessary that the streets
should be put in order. It was known that all ma
terials and labor had increased one hundred per
cent., and this advance in price could not have been
fo reseen at the time of the annual appropriations:

amounte arr y in o g f
money had been-raised, and the bulk of the appro
in d to have been expended for
military purposes. The former Commissioner Of
Hilgahtwi°anyss,wbilyi leavi ng work unfinished, had caused
the expenditure of a large proportion of the appro
priations to the department, and he hoped that if
members refused to vote for the hill they would not
come to the Committee on Highways to complain
when accidents occurred by reason of want of repairs
to streets. He hoped that no party bickering would
come in between members and their duty; and
ho hoped that if the repairs to streets were necessary
to be made, the Chamber would come forward, and
make the necessary appropriations.
Mr. Evens (U.) was not surprised to see the
figures paraded here by the gentleman from the
Second. If the expenditures be greater than the
income, tho.fault lies with the Democratic side of
the house ; they thought it was a good bait to catch
sth with. The reason that the gentlemen on the
Other side opposed the bill was because they
were afraid of it /ming used for political purposes.
That was well known, and the secret might as well
be told.
Upon taking a vote on the ordinance no quorum
voted, and the Chamber adjourned.
THE POLICE.
[Before Mr. Alderman Batter.]
SELLING LIQUOR TO AN INBURIA.TE.
A man named Walter Barry was arraigned on
yesterday morning, on complaint of a woman
charging him with selling liquor to her husband
after having been admonished not to do so. The
accused was bound over to answer at court.
[Before Mr. Alderman Bottler.]
ADMITTED TO BAIL
Lloyd Douglass, the colored man charged with
shooting an individual named Sider, at the Log
Cabin, on the Wissahickon, has been admitted to
ball, the wounded man being out of danger.
- The driver of a passenger oar on the Eighth-street
line was fined, on Wednesday, for stopping his oar
at Eighth and Chestnut to await the arrival of pas
sengers. Cars are often permitted to stop here as
well as at other street-crossing, much to the annoy
ance of citizens generally.
BOEIIEIIIEI3
The tailor store of Mr. S. Watson, on South Tenth
street, was robbed a few nights since of ready-made
clothing to the amount of about $4OO.
Two boys very adroitly opened a showcase in
front of the store of Mrs. Emily O'Donnell, near
Fourth and South street, on Wednesday evening,
and stole therefrom a bonnet. They escaped with
the property.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The money market remains easy to firsbclass
borrowers on call at 7 ift cent., and for first.class
business notes the rates Tango' from. 9 to 12 cent.
Many moneylenders are using their loanable funds
for the purchise of Government debt certificates,
in preference to commercial paper, because, at pre
sent rates, they pay as large interest, and are, at
the same time, more easily converted into legal
money, if required.
The gold market is active, and at the opening
prices were strong. 230 ivas the rate at 0)4 A. M.,
and the closing figure was 228.
The stock market was comparatively withoutnnf.
matron. Government loans were rather weak at
the opening, but closed firm, the tBls at 108, and the
5.20 s at 1033;, coupon off, and 109;‘ registered. There
was little said in State or City loans. In the share
list we notice a, slight advance in Reading; Pennsyl
vania, was steady at 74, Camden and Amboy at 158,
Northern Central at 64, Norristown at. 85;‘, Long
Island at 48, and Minehill at 82.. Of company bonds
there were sales of Susquehanna Canal at 65, Cam
den and Amboy Cs of 1876 at 109; Pittsburg coupon
Bs at 78, Union Canal Int bonds at 17, North Penn
sylvania 6s at 100, Schuylkill Navigation 63,1882, at
91%, and Williamsport and Elmira bonds at 108.
