TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1661_
THE CITY.
-SEPTEMBER AS WE FIND IT.—A few cool
'evenings in August inspired hope that in the
coming days of September, the first fall month,
the weather would be delightful, But Septem
ber came, with misty mornings, and scarcely
sufficient air to stir a kW. Every morning
since the dawn Of the eighth month of the
year, hazy fogs prevailed, but they dissipated
,before the power of the ascending sun, and let
an his sweltering rays in a style worthy of the
tropics. Such heat was never felt before in
this latitude in the month of September.
'While the mercury indicated a temperature
ranging from FO to ea degrees, yet the humidity
In the atmosphere was exceedingly Oppreasive
to humanity, and the heat was felt, to be more
"intense than in the clear days of July, with
the thermometer in the nineties. Many work
ingmen exposed to the sun were forced to re
linquish their labor, during the middle of the
lays, beeffiffie Of the depressing effects of the
item. Quite a number of persons sickened,
and several deaths occurred, during the unex
pected heated term. The " can't get sways,"
though acclimated somewhat, bore up against
the calorie element, but those who recently
returned from the sea shore or the mountain
s•egions. where the atmosphere is pure and the
temperature cool, wereto be pitied. Fat men,
3ike Hans Rawlings, found their shadows
M i e so r w er Noe sl7qugziertheparloueess7
grease,
ed to think
that, unless cool weather shot& come, they
trould be "liVing grate no more."
Themonth Of September i beeides introducing
drnit of almOSt every kind, brings mosquitoes.
Mlle damp warm mornings: cause these pests
to generate by the myriads, to annoy animals
in general during hot and sultry nights. On
one or two evenings in the latter part of last
week, the mosquitoes were so thick on the
fens that skirt the Delaware that, in the dusk
of the evening they floated through space lust
I
like a vapor. n some of the houses bordering
en the lower parts of the " Neck," the mos
quitoes are present every night in countless
Members. It is positively necessary to close
the houses es tightly aS possible, and tbenburn
tobacco therein in order to destroy these pests,
otherwise sleep would be entirely out of the
question. The cattle in the meadows suffer
terribly from the bites of mosquitoes, and they
can only find relief in rolling wildly over and
over on the grass, or seeking refuge in the
training ditches. These things are incident
to the month of September, but not to any
other month in the year. The Inutigilitc.te.S
- until the - first heavy . frost appears, and then
they disappear as quickly and mysteriously as
they come.
The phenomena of the weather yesterday
- a - as singular. At three o'clock a thin mist
veiled the setting moon, and at day-dawn the
vapor became more dense and assumed the
proportions of a "Scotch mist," which "dried
- npn by nine o'clock. Clouds soon began to
form; they rolled up in mouniain.like gran
tenr, their outlines tinged with celestial light,
and. varying from that brightness to every
shade down to black, foretold a heavy storm.
Towards one o'clock in the afternoon these*
clouds hovered over the city, and a rain-storm
of no ordinary severity was ushered in, with
the accompaniment of thunder and lightning.
At throe o'clock the big drops came, and pre
sently a cataract followed steady that would
not have disgraced even the days of Noah.
So dark was the afternoon that many of the
stores, banking institutions., newspaper offices,
hotels, and restaurants had to be lighted with
gas, The rain was a most gteful visitor to
ell sweltering mortals here below; it cooled
The atmosphere somewhat, cleaned the dirty
streets, lanes, and alleys, and thus we leave
September as we find it.
WATERFALL AND INUNDATTON.—The
rain-storm of yesterday afternoon was exceed
ingly heavy, and it seems to have been con
fined almost within the limits of Philadelphia,
and particularly in the built-up part thereof.
There probably never was such a fall of water
in the same space and same time. In a word,
it may be said that the city was deluged. We
hear of entire neighborhoods is all parts of
the city being inundated from house to house,
and cellars by the hundreds were speedily
overflowed. Chestnut street, which may be
considered One of the highest grade in the
centre of the city, was like a lake of water ; in
irtany places the aqueous element being over
41,e curbstone. The water rushed through the
basement windows of the Continental and the
Girard House to so great an extent as to extin
guish the fires in the engine-rooms. The water
was at least seven feet deep in a portion of the
basement of the Continental-.
. _ .
The large restaurant at the Assembly Build
ing, Tenth and Chestnut streets, was ablated
to the depth of three feet. All the Cellars
ill mg Tenth street,_ nearly to Walnut, came in
for a full share of the deluge ; quite a number
of them being filled even with the pavement.
The stable-cellars along Sansom street, in the
same neighborhood were soon overflowed, and
rats, old and young, were driven from their
hiding-places. It is estimated that thousands
la these undermining animals were drowned.
In the southwestern section of the city, in
the region of Broad and Shippen streets, the
flow of water was immense, and many cellars
and basements were filled. ln the lower grades
of the surface of the city the rushing of the
water was impetuous, and for a time fears
were entertained that an immense amount of
damage must necessarily ensue. The only ma
terial destruction that we heard of was the
bursting or a culvert at Eleventh and Master
Streets, by which half the street fell in. The
county culvert, in Christian street, and the
one in Reed street, in the southern part of the
city, though they drain several square miles
of the surface, stood the mighty rush of wa
ters. Whole sections below the navy-yard
were submerged, but no damage was done to
anything except the contents of the cellars.
Steam lire engines were brought into reuni•
Sition, and the work of pumping out the water
commenced as speedily as possible.
The tide was high m the Delaware at the
time, and thus the culverts emptying into that
stream were:choked 3 hence the overflow of the
streets. Besides this, the gutters in-many
parts of the city were pretty well Ailed with
dirt, and this obstruction impeded the Row of
water. We dispatched a corps of reporters to
the utmost limits of the city, north, south,
east and west, expecting that disasters by the
flood might have taken place, on or about the
many streams. It seems, however, from all
the reports brought in, that the rain was
light. it was the heaviest in the southern part
of Philadelphia.
In many of the streets traversed by the pas
senger cars the water was several inches above
the platform, and in some instances it flowed
into the cad, The rush of water on Walnut
street, between Fourth and Fifth streets,
where the grade forms a hollow, was very
great, but no serious damage occurred.
The rain came down for one hour, steadily.
There was no wind. It is estimated that three
inches of water fell during that period, being
more than that which fell during the month
of August.
SCOTTISH GAMES.—The seventh annual
games of the Caledonian Club of this city took
place yesterday at Silwood Grove,. on the
West Chester Railroad, about ten miles from
Philadelphia. There has never, in the history
of our city, been such an outpouring of Scot
tish people as was seen on this occasion. The
peculiar characteristics of any people are pro
bably seen in the strongest light when they
_are gathered together for the purpose of
making merry or of having. festivities. The
love of their own country, of their own tongue,
and their own customs, though apparently
deeply hidden in their hearts, blazes forth
- with all freshness and vigor when a spark of
remembrance is dropped upon it. The truth
of this assertion is abundantly seen upon
every occasion 113 Mich the Scotch are inte
rested, whether i t be the celebration. of Bt,
Andrew's Day, of the Birthday of Burns, the
annual Scottish concert for the poor, or other
'event, there will be seen faces bright and
hearts happy, because of seeing their own
Countrymen, of bearing their native tongue,
and of being reunited with their Countrymen.
The weather yesterday morning was exces
sively hot, but, with that exception, was all
that could have been desired for the success
ful holding of the annual games.
ISEELECIM
The members of the Caledonian Club assem
bled at their club rooms, in Walnut street,
above Sixth, at eight o'clock, and took up the
line of march to the railroad depot. About
twenty-live of the members were attired in
lull Highland costume, and attracted universal
attention along the route over which they
passed. They were headed by Captain Finnie's
band. They proceeded along Walnut street to
Tenth, thence to Market, and thence to the
depot. The procession did not arrive in time
for the nine o'clock train, and were compelled
to wait until half past ten o'clock. This, of
course, caused a delay of an hour and a half,
but did not materially interfere with the
arrangements. A Scotch reel was danced by
the members iii costume upon arriving on the
grounds. The games began about twelve
o'clock, the first being
THE GAME Or QUOITS
First and second prizes were given for the
best two competitors in every game. These
3,rizes consisted Of Some Ornamental article of
Highland dress, valued at from *Pe to ten dol
lars each. The game of quoits, though well
'understood in this country, is of Scotch origin,
and is considered by Scotchmen a national
game. The quoits used yesterday weighed
/Our pounds each—the distance played was
twenty-two yards. There was a large Dumber
entered for prizes. The game was played out
side of the circle which had been staked out
and enclosed with a rope for the games, so
that the programme was carried on while the
game of quoits was still being played.
Firstprize awarded to William Elder.
- Seerind prize to George Meciement.
THROWING THE HAMMER
was the second game. The hammer weighed
sixteen pounds. The handle was sixteen
inches long. There were nine entered for the
prizes. which were awarded :
First, prize to William Lyons, of New York.
Distance thrown, fifty-eigr e feet seven inches.
Second prize to Jas. M Larren. Distance
thrown, fifty-seven feet three inches.
Mr. Lyons threw the hammer three inches
further than Mr. Wilkie, who took the first
prize last year.
PUTTING THE %TONE.
. _ .
This game consists in throwing a stone or
(as was the case yesterday) an iron ball direct
from theoshoulder to as great a distance as
- possible. Six competitors appeared. The ball
weighed twenty-twoponnds. The prizes were
awarded.
First prize to Wm. Lyons Now York.Dia.„

The distance run WM once round the eirele,
being about two hundred and fifty yards.
There were live competitors.
First prize won by James E. Smith.
Second prize won by James Graham.
TOSSING THE CABER
was next on the programme. This game is a
trial Of strength, and consists in throwing a
song and heavy piece of wood to as great a WS
-tame as possible, from a perpendicular posi
tion in the hands. The caber yesterday was a
trunk of a tree, about five inches in diameter
and fifteen feet long. It was found entirely
too heavy for any one present to handle, and
the next on the programme was proceeded

A. pole with distances marked upon it is
secured in the ground. A tamborine hung by
twine to the eun of a short stick in such a way
that its faee is parallel with the ground, is
secured on the 15010. The person entering for
the prize stands on one foot, Jumps and kicks
the tamborine with the foot upon which he
stood, and comes to the ground again upon
the same foot. After all competitors have
kicked the tamborine, it is raised a short
- distance and all again go through the opera

There were three competitors.
First prize awarded to Jas. Graham ; height
reached, eight feet three inches.
;Second prize to George Gardner; height
'reached, eight feet two inches. These gentle
men won first and second prizes last year, but
they exceeded their last years marks. The
lint by -nye inches, the last by six inc h es.
aeoF. RAcll,
open to members , SODS under fourteen years
of age, veal next in order. This game is pro
hably understood by most of our readers. It
affords much amusernentwand is a genuine
,ficoten performance. Each aspirant is placed
in a Mien Seek lame enough to hold his body
and be secured t 3 fitly around his neck..
this - position be Is, in a great measure, de
prived Of the use of all his limbs. The success
ful candidate Placed one foot in each corner
ofthe bag, and then held it up out of his way
with his bands. Be then ran in short steps at,
a pretty good .pace. There were six competi—
tors. First_ prize awarded to Robt. John--
.ton; second - to Archibald Smith.
STANDING NIGH LEAP
The distance leaped was measured bymeans
of a movable strip of wood rested upon .per
pendicular_posts about six feet apart, with dis
tances marked thereon. There were six com
petitors. The - winners leaped the same dis
tance—three-feet nine Inches—and the choice
of prize was decided by tossing up a hat, as
follows: First prize, to James Robb ; second
prize, to James Smith.
.
' A seek race for members followed : First
prize, to G. Gardner; second prize, to James
Graham.
RUNNING HIGH LEAP
The height attained was measured in the
same way as in the standing high leap. The
runners leaped the same height, four feet live
inches. The choice of prizes was decided as
in the standing high leap. First prize to An.
thony Hague; second prize to John Watson.
At this point in the programme ft, heavy
shower of rain began, and continued almost
withotit intermission, during the afternoon.
The games were not resumed until about an
hour had elapsed, audit was believed prudent
to go on as far as practicable with the pro
grEtrnMe, the rain not being very heavy.
There were two competitors, Alexander
Stewart and J. alacLarren. They were in full
Highland costume, and executed the steps
with precision and grace. The judges dis
agreed, and the referee decided. irst prize
to Alexander Stewart ; second prize to S.
MacLarren.
VAULTING WITH. THE POLE.
This game, which was by far the mostlinter
eating and exciting last year, lost much of its
interest yesterday. There were very few good
vaulters present, and the rain did not at all help
the generalleffect. The height vaulted over was
measured m the same way as in the leaping
games.
First prize awarded to John Watson—height
attained six feet eight inches.
Second prize awkrded to James Robb.
Last year Mr. Gouldy cleared seven feet ten
inches, with four inches to spare. It Is due to
Mr. Watson to say that had he desiredhe could,
no doubt, have made a higher vault ; but, as
there was no one to Compete with, it was not
thought advisable to attempt further experi
ment.
40 SACK RACE
open to all over eighteen years of age, except
members, followed.
First prize to James Johnston.
§eCO/ 1 pros tO John Longshww,
110 P, STEP, AND Jaw.,
was next in order.
First prize awarded to A. Hay, Sr.
Second prize awarded to John Watson
utraDtg ILLORS.
These races are exciting arid interesting.
There were three fences erected, each five feet
six inches in height, and having three parallel
bars, placed at equal distances around the
circle. The racers were obliged to climb or
jump over them, so that success depended as
much on the vaulting or climbing abilities of
the racer as on his swiftness of foot. The
hurdle race open to all members' sons was
won by Archibald Smith ; the second prize
was carried off by Andrew Wright. The
hurdle race, three times round, for members,
was won by John Watson ; second prize, John
Clark.
13ZCIIIMI
This race was three times around the ring, a
distance of seven hundred and fifty feet—won
by James Graham; second prize, George Gar
diner.
EMI=
Throughout the day there was dancing in a
capacious building erected for that purpose,
for those who desired to participate in that
amusement.

The Committee for the Relief of the Families
of Volunteers has closed its operations. The
work was begun on the 22d of April, , when
Councils made an appropriation for the relief

but the families of the brave men were not
allowed to suffer and further appropriations
wore made, from.iime to time, until an aggre

ments were made on the 17th of May, 1861, and
were at first made weekly, but soon after were
made semi-monthly. The last payment was
made on the sth of August, 1885. The amount

dred thousand people residing in that section
of the city depend upon this old monitor in
noting passing time. The bell of this clock is
one of the finest silver toned to be found in
this city but its power was never brought in
to full use by the clock hammer ; the works
being too weak to properly bring It into play.
The bell was manufactured in Old Outhwark it
has two hundred dollars worth of silver in it.
The residents down town are sadly annoyed
because the clock does not go, and they would
like very much to hear the musical tone of its
hell sounding the passing hours.

DEATH OP LIEUTENANT DAVID DI/NDEP.BON.
David Honderacektl_lb aeeoMplished and gen
tlernanly lieutenant of the Reserve Corps of
City Police, expired at his residence about
eleven o'clock yesterday morning, after an ill
ness of several. months. Kr. Henderson was
in earlier days a brickmaker in the western
part of the District of Moyamensing. In his
intercourse with his fellow man, he was always
pleasant ; and, in the most arduous duties of
an officer, lie fully maintained the merited
faculty of preserving his temper. No prisoner
was ever maltreated by him • on the contrary
he always treated them withh kindness. He
had well studied human nature, and looked
upon violators of the law more in sorrow than
in anger. In his official department, he was a
strict disciplinarian, He discharged the du
ties of the position, not in a hectoring or domi
neering manner but as a man governed by
common sense. Thus, while he preserved the
strictest order in his department, he won the
respect of his men. Within the past year he
gave evidence of having consumption of the
rungs with liver complaint. Steadily, though
slowly and surely, the fell destroyer, under
mined his constitution, and yesterday, death
removed him from the scenes of earth.

:_PRESS:PHILiDELPItIk, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1865.
per • the witness read the dead'cnt sales, and
said' Mr. Trainor was now ; Mr. Trainor
and he were jointly interested in the copper.
The receipts of Farris for the Clipper, Janu
ary 4,1864, for $749.60, and March 10,1891, for $BO
were given in evidence to the jury. Also the
correspondence between Trainor and Hen
dricks. The copper was purchased by Hen
dricks at forty-three cents a pound. The
account sales from Trainor to Hammett were
offered and admitted, which shows the profits
in the four cases to be $56.20.
Mr. Hammitt resumed.—The firstpurchase
of copper from Harris was made at the Com
mercial House, on the wharf, ket by Captain
Larsen ; Harris said a Dutch friend of his had
sent him the copper to sell; he asked me if
I would buy it saying he Wanted 41 1 4 cents for
it; I told him I would not give it; that was the
end that day; some two or three days after
wards I met him at the same place, and he
wanted to know if I wanted the copper ; I said
I would take it at forty cents if he, W. H.
Harris, would take my note for three months ;
he Concluded to take it if Captain Larsen
would cash my note ; Cantata Larsen said he
would ; then the note and receipt were drawn
up ; after I paid the note I destroyed it; Harris
wanted to know where to send the copper, and
I gave Mr. Trainor's name; lie said I will send
it right away, and go with it myself; W. H.
Harris said that I bad visited Harris' house and
seen the copper before / spoke to him at
Captain Larsen's ; I went there with Captain
Larsen, who first mentioned to me about the
copper before I saw Harris ; the copper was in
the front room or parlor of Harris' house, in
Front street, above South; Harris kept a sai
lors' boarding house I believe i did not look at
the boxes particularly;.l did not buy any
other copper subsequent to this, down to
March 16th, or have it sold by Felix Trainor;
the latter sold the two lots for me ; I did not
examine the copper.
Cross-examined.—At the time I bought the
first lot of copper, Harris said he would have
another lot in two months from the same
party; the conversation at Captain Larsen's
was in the public bar-room, loud enough for
all to hear.
Daniel Gardner sworn.—l reside in New York
city, and am the clerk of Hendricks & Bro.; I
know of a lot of copper received on the 26th 'of
March, 1864, at our store, from the Steamer
Aida ; there were four cases; I saw the bills
of lading this is the bill; I took the weight
and numbers of the boxes; all the boxes were
marked with a stencil "H. 8., N. Y.," and the
numbers were marked with a punch also one
ease marked 60 sheets, 32 oz., 468, cold rolled;
next ease, 468; next, 469; next, ; after the
boxes remained in the store till the 26th of No
vember, they were shipped by the Camden and
Amboy Railroad to Commodore Hull, Nay
Yard, Philadelphia • I put a private mark on
each box before they.were shipped; I have
since seen the boxes at the Navy -Yard in Phi
lailelphia-28th August, 1865, at 113: 2 ' O'clock 4..
M.; they were the same bOaeS that were ship-
Pea from our store; the contents of one box
was taken out ; it was sheathing copper 14x48,
and was cold rolled ; it is used for putting on
any kind of ships, and for many purposes.
VroSsAmmainett—Did not measure the cop
per; know the size by my eye and general
regulations ; there was nothing on the boxes
to indicate where they were shipped from ex
cept H. 8., N. Y.

persons arose and left the court-room—only
three witnesses remaining. Some of these per
sons stand from ten o'clock to three, Closely
huddled together, notwithstanding the intense
heat in the room. Yesterday an additional
number of settees were placed in the room, in
such a manner as to prevent parties standing.

saw the prisoner near him, and the pocket
book was gone. The prisoner then ran away,
and was subsequently arrested. The prisoner

of the property was in his possession. I had
been drinking, but was not drunk.
On cross-examination the witness stated that

street, and drank, during the night, brandy
and ale.
Reserve Officer Johnson testified to arresting
the prisoner at eight o'clock that morning. He

when he started off at a fast gait. Having
called at his house before that, his sister told
witness that he was not in, but she subsequent
ly acknowledged that he came home about
daylight.
The defence called witnesses to prove the
good character of the defendant, and that on
the morning in question he was seen to go
into his house at a quarter of three by those
who got up at 2 o'clock to go on an excursion.
The Commonwealth called Oilleer•Johnson,
who stated that the character of the defend

Mr. O'Brian stated that in bills where the
witnesses were present the defendants were
not, and vice versa. So he had no bIISMOSB
