nsw8 oumexah.it. City Affairs. Monday was the pickpockets' carnival, and half fc dozen professionals were "palled" by the detectives. The following gentlemen have been elected to serve as officers of the Northern Home for Friendless Children and Associated Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphan Institate: President, John Wiegand; Secretary, Mac-greg- or J. Mitchcnon; Assistant Secretary, Theodore Earp; Treasurer, James L. Clag-hor- n; Solicitors, M. J. Mitoheson and J. J. Barclay. The committee of the past year have been continned, without change. The Olympic Base Ball Club, with a good nine, in which are included Pratt and Wilkins, played a fine game with the Athletics yester- day afternoon. The Athletics were the vic- tors by a score of 27 to 14. The Pennsylvania Reserves wound up their reunion yesterday afternoon by a ban-qu- et in which General Meade was the chief orator, and a ball in the evening. The burglars captured by the Twelfth district officers on Monday last were up at the Central yesterday afternoon, and another charge of burglary at the store of C. Hopf, No. 1330 Girard avenue, was preferred against tbem. The accused are each under $4000 bail for a further hearing. Domestic Affairs. At the time of adjournment, yesterday, the court had not obtained a full panel in the Foster-Putna- m murder case. A Poughkeepsie despatch says that the forests along the ltoundout and Oswego Rail- road have recently suffered greatly from fire. The Erie Railroad directors pronounce the rumor of the sale of their road to Com- modore Vanderbilt and party as utterly with- out foundation. 41 Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, took the oath of office yesterday, and then read his inaugural message. The display attend- ing the ceremonies was quite imposing. Governor Scott, of South Carolina, pro- ceeds to New York to-da- y to carry out the suggestions of the recent Tax-Payer- s' Con- vention, so as to strengthen the financial con- dition of the State. The case of L. P. Mulligan, a former Son of Liberty, for $100,000 damages against General Allen P. Hovey, for false arrest, came up yesterday in tho United States District Court at Indianapolis. The Unconditional Club, of Philadelphia, tendered a serenade to Governor Geary and Hon. John Soott, last night at Harrisburg, when the former intimated in a speech that he is not a candidate for the Presidency. The Governor of New Jersey yesterday issued his warrant for the execution of John Ware, convicted of murder at Camden, but in it recognizes the action of Judge Woodhull, of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in staying sentence. The Pennsylvania Coal Company's men, at Pittston, yesterday resolved by an over- whelming majority to accept the offer of the company and resume work immediately. The miners at Hyde Park will hold a meeting to- morrow, and as starvation is staring them in the face,it is thought that in self-defen- se they will have to forego any farther folly in lon ger remaining out on the strike. Owing to the threatening demonstrations of some of the malcontents, the people of Scranton are very anxious that martial law shall be pro claimed in their midst. Foreign Affair. Fort Valerien was firing heavily last night. The Commune, yesterday, split into two factions. rrL. 1.. i IV - Ttl TT J lut) uuiumu in me i. ittue ( cuuuuin naa levelled at six o'clock last evening. A bill has passed the German Parliament forbidding the raising of loans by lotteries except for the Government. A motion to declare the permanency of the Republio in the Versailles Assembly was vesterdav referred to a committee. It is generally expected that the cession of French territory, provided for in the recent treaty, will be severely criticized in the As sembly. The Communists and Versaillists, during the past two days, have made several sorties, and in the collisions the former were gener ally worsted. An organization of many thousands exists in Paris ready to rise against the Commune as soon as the Yeisaillists assault the ramparts of the capital. The Versaillists are keeping up a terifio and effectual bombardment before Paris, and yesterday the destruction of life and property . . . . r e I in me American quarter was icanui. STIUCUXINE AND WHISKY. Letter of a Deliberate and Philosophical feulcme. Homer F. Wood, of Little Rock, Ark., com mitted suicide recently by taking strychnine in wbltkv. He left the following letter: Dear Gay: My last card is played, and I stand upon the brink of eternity, with no fears or hopes for my future In that uncertainty. I have lived during tbe past month in a continual lever of excitement, produced by a desire to do justice to those who nave claims upon me, and a sense of my inability to do so. Life, at best, is one of tho vilest humbugs that could be imposed on mankind. lth me Its trials and struggles have so overbalanced the enjoyment that I believe that my heart has turned to stone. I am as much unlike what I was one year ago as an oyster is unlike a rose. I have just drank a whisky straight, 'lis the first In almost five years. I took a big one. Did I ever tell you that when next I drank it would be as my shadow fell acrcss the portals of eternity ? Tis even so, and soon will I bo called to give an account of my foolishness down here. Good-by- e, Billy. Good-by- e even-body- ; and let those who censure this act beware of marry ing cousins; 1 AM A monomaniac. These letters were written in capitals. -- u,n. There are no words to my w ife that can give consolation for the disgrace which I cause. My eyes are blinded with tears at the thought of htr love for me. But I cannot help what I am about to do. I will have one tune on the guitar, and then with my strychnine and whisky I'll hunt a place to die. Homer F. Wood. F. 8. One bonr later.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH .PHILADELPHIA, WBDNBgrJAT, MAf 17,? 1871. ANOTIIEK BIG TUKKEL. The Vnltetl States b Canada to be United y a Tannel Over Klght Thousand Feet In Length under the Detroit River. From th Iron Age. The building of the great sub-flavl- tunnel under the Detroit river, the completion of which is now assured by the practical consolidation of the Michigan Central and Great Western Rail- roads, will be the greatest engineering work of its kind ever projected in this couutry, if not In the world. The lake tunnel at Chicago, though of considerable length, is of email capacity, and will bear no comparison with that to be built at Detroit, while those carried under the river at the former city, though of good size, are so short as to be in all respects Inferior to the present undertaking as engineering works. In tile MAGNITUDE OF THE I'LAN of its construction, in the capacity it will have under water, and in the amount of business which will pass through it, the Detroit tunnel will certainly have no rival upon this continent until the scheme of uniting New York with the New Jersey shore by a tuu-n- el under the Hudson is carried into effect. The plan finally adopted by the tunnel com- pany for the construction of the great work is substantially the same as that prepared some months since by Mr. Chesbrough, of Chicago. Tbe length from the Detroit to the Canada por- tal will be 8508 feet. It will be built in two separate parts, with a view to diminishing the amount of excavation necessary, and lessening the liability to accident, and also for the impor- tant consideration that, if an accident should occur in one half, the other would still be avail- able for the passage of trains. Tbe parallel tunnels will be cylindrical in form, and will be fifty feet apart. THE INTERIOR DIAMETER of each is 18.1 feet, and at all points under the river tbe shell of masonry will tbe two feet in thickness. The excavation will be made through a stratum of bard clay, and it Is not intended tbat it should at any point come within less than 20 feet of the surface of the bed. Whenever It is found that the distance is less than this ave rage, clay will be filled in to a sufficient depth to avoid the possibility of rccldcnt. In additlou to the main tunnels a small drainage tunnel, with an Interior diameter of five feet, will be built considerably below the main lines and mid way between them, This will be first con- structed, in order to drain the main tunnels while the work progresses, as well as after ward, and also to fully develop the character of the soil at the commencement of the work. The grade of the transit tunnels is one in fifty at each end, witn luuo feet of level line under the river, The estimates for excavation and masonry are as loliows: Cubic Yard. Excavation In open cutting 200,000 nxcavanon in tunncis 'z;)3,uou Brick masonry (exclusive of drainage tun nel) CS.noo Stone masonry 8,700 The entire cost of the tunnel and approaches including a permanent double track of stee rails, rieht of way at the ends, etc., will amount to i2,50,000. I he enterprise is one 01 great magnitude and importance, and its completion will mark the beginning 01 a new era in American railroad engineering. IMMIGRATION STATISTICS. The Annual Report of the Xcw York Com mlHStoncrs. From the annual report of the Commissioners of Emigration, which has just been issued, it appears tbat tbe total number of passengers landed at New York during 1870 was 255,48(5, of wnom 213,171) were aliens, a decrease or 4.),..1'J from the number in 1809. The number of Ger- man immigrants in 1870 was 72,350, less by 27,255 than during the preceding year. The total number 01 Irish immigrants, 05,108, also shows a decrease of 1030. Of these immigrants 104,088 came in steamers, and 18,834 in sailing vessels. The number of persons relieved last year Ry the Commissioners of Immigration was 7 1,0 'J, and the amount 01 commutation money received by the commissioners was $531,830-50- , of which a surplus of $350,503-8- remained on the 31st 01 December, ine commission nas now been in existence for twenty-fou- r years, during which time 4,500,000 immigrants have landed in New York, of whom 1,320,012 have been assisted and provided with employment. On the 2d of February the commissioners re solved to reduce the amount of the commuta tlon money from $2-5- to fLSO. The report concludes with an allusion to the frequent evasion of the payment of the commutation money by several of the steamship companies, by landing immigrants at another port, and forwardine: them by rail to New York. These lm migrants are expressly excluded by law from all the benehts 01 the landing depot and the resources of Ward's Island. The commissioners therefore suggest that all railroad and steam- ship companies should be compelled to pay commutation for all immigrants bo transported lrom otner points to JNew iotk. AFFRAY IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH. A Junatlc Stabs a Man and Brandishes an Axe The Congregation Threaten to Lynch Him. During the morning service on Sunday in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, at Lexington avenue and Sixty-sixt- h street, New York, Jonn uioney. an irisn stone-cutte- r, aged thirty- - five, entered, wearing his hat. The sex- ton, James McLarney, requested him to remove it. uioney reiusea, ana ine sexton oraereu mm to leave the church. Glbney declined to go, and as he acted in a somewhat disorderly man- ner, two or three of the congregation stepped forwaid to assist the sexton lu expelling mm. lie then drew a knife and stabbed Michael Cully in the head, the point 01 the blade breaking off and remaining In the skull, inflicting a very terious wound. Several other members of the congregation then came up and were about to seize (iibney, when he drew au axe from under his coat, flourished it over his head, and loudly declared that he would "brain any niau" who attempted to interfere with him. Tbe excite- ment among the congregation now became intense. Many shouted "llang him ! '"Lynch him !" ami a rope was Epecdily procured.. A ruth was made for him, and he was seized and disarmed, but "before tbe crowd could cxrry their threats of lynching Into execution officers appeared, took (ilbneyinto custody, and locked him up in the East Fifty-niut- h Street Police Station. It is believed that he is lnsaue on the question of religion. THE PRESBYTERIANS. The Approaching General Assembly of the The Gecernl Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of tbe United States will assemble in the First Presbvterian church, Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday, the 18th inst, and will be opened witn a sermon by Rev. Dr. Backus, Moderator This is the second assembly of the reunited Church, and, meeting in such a central place, it is expected that it will be well attended by representative men from all parts of the coun try. . ... The important business 01 reconstruction will occupy a large portion of the Assembly s time The report of the Committee on tbe Memorial Fund will eagerly oe looked lor. This move me lit is having a marked effect. Ministers are by it provided with comfortable houses. Loads of debt have been swept away, and besides all this it is expected that a large sum will be available for seminaries, the boards, and susteu tatlon. There is every reason to believe that five million dollars at leaEt will be reported. The Home Mission report win suovr a pros- perous work in organizing new churches. An overture from the New York Presbytery con cemlng the voluntary demission of the ministry by such as may desire it, is likely to give rise to keen debate. The reception of delegates from Britain, Canada, etc., will be an interesting leature. Some "new beginners" are practising on such specimens as these: ''How much does a fool weigh generally? A simple ton. In what color should a secret be keyU lo violet. ANOTHER WARNING. "What Came of Kindling a Fire with Kcroicnt. The Trenton State Gazette of yesterday says: A very distressing affair occurred on Saturday morning, about half-pa- st 9 o clock, at the resi- dence of William W. Ward, at No. 17 Ewlog street. Ills servant girl, Miss Annie Corbitt, aged about twenty-thre- e years, was engaged in baking, and, anxious to increase the heat of the oven, took the kerosene can and was In the act of pouring the fluid on the fire, when it ignited. 1 wo heavy expioFions, leanui in tneir cnarac-tr- , and alarming the neighbors, took place. In a moment the poor girl was enveloped in flames. She ran out into the yard, and stood a moment on the platform or piazza in the rear, screaming terribly. Two persons from the street came rushing In, with horse blankets, and smothered the flames. The scene was heart-rendin- g. The place where she stood on the platform Is charred In several places wherever she moved. When she was uncovered, after the blankets had been thrown around her. it was found that she had been shockingly burned. In about an hour her suffer- ings were ended by death. Coroner Tarsons was notified and viewed the body, but did not think it necessary to hold an Inquest. REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION. PEREMPTORY SALE. TIIOMAS SONS, Auctioneers.

    STIUCUXINE AND WHISKY.

    Letter of a Deliberate and Philosophicalfeulcme.

    Homer F. Wood, of Little Rock, Ark., committed suicide recently by taking strychnine inwbltkv. He left the following letter:

    Dear Gay: My last card is played, and Istand upon the brink of eternity, with no fearsor hopes for my future In that uncertainty. Ihave lived during tbe past month in a continuallever of excitement, produced by a desire to dojustice to those who nave claims upon me, anda sense of my inability to do so.

    Life, at best, is one of tho vilest humbugs thatcould be imposed on mankind. lth me Itstrials and struggles have so overbalanced theenjoyment that I believe that my heart hasturned to stone. I am as much unlike what Iwas one year ago as an oyster is unlike a rose.

    I have just drank a whisky straight, 'lis thefirst In almost five years. I took a big one.Did I ever tell you that when next I drank itwould be as my shadow fell acrcss the portalsof eternity ? Tis even so, and soon will I bocalled to give an account of my foolishness downhere.

    Good-by- e, Billy. Good-by- e even-body- ; andlet those who censure this act beware of marrying cousins; 1 AM A monomaniac. Theseletters were written in capitals. -- u,n.

    There are no words to my w ife that can giveconsolation for the disgrace which I cause. Myeyes are blinded with tears at the thought of htrlove for me. But I cannot help what I am aboutto do.

    I will have one tune on the guitar, and thenwith my strychnine and whisky I'll hunt a placeto die. Homer F. Wood.

    F. 8. One bonr later. I have drank one quartof whisky, and am as sober as 1 was beforetaking the stuff. 1 almost believe that 1 amcrazy. Yours, Wood.

    ANOTIIEK BIG TUKKEL.

    The Vnltetl States b Canada to be Unitedy a Tannel Over Klght Thousand Feet

    In Length under the Detroit River.From th Iron Age.

    The building of the great sub-flavl- tunnelunder the Detroit river, the completion of whichis now assured by the practical consolidation ofthe Michigan Central and Great Western Rail-roads, will be the greatest engineering work ofits kind ever projected in this couutry, if not Inthe world. The lake tunnel at Chicago, thoughof considerable length, is of email capacity, andwill bear no comparison with that to be built atDetroit, while those carried under the river atthe former city, though of good size, are so shortas to be in all respects Inferior to the presentundertaking as engineering works. In tile

    MAGNITUDE OF THE I'LANof its construction, in the capacity it will haveunder water, and in the amount of businesswhich will pass through it, the Detroit tunnelwill certainly have no rival upon this continentuntil the scheme of unitingNew York with the New Jersey shore by a tuu-n- el

    under the Hudson is carried into effect.The plan finally adopted by the tunnel com-

    pany for the construction of the great work issubstantially the same as that prepared somemonths since by Mr. Chesbrough, of Chicago.Tbe length from the Detroit to the Canada por-tal will be 8508 feet. It will be built in twoseparate parts, with a view to diminishing theamount of excavation necessary, and lesseningthe liability to accident, and also for the impor-tant consideration that, if an accident shouldoccur in one half, the other would still be avail-able for the passage of trains. Tbe paralleltunnels will be cylindrical in form, and will befifty feet apart.

    THE INTERIOR DIAMETERof each is 18.1 feet, and at all points under theriver tbe shell of masonry will tbe two feet inthickness. The excavation will be made througha stratum of bard clay, and it Is not intendedtbat it should at any point come within less than20 feet of the surface of the bed. Whenever Itis found that the distance is less than this average, clay will be filled in to a sufficient depthto avoid the possibility of rccldcnt. In additlouto the main tunnels a small drainage tunnel,with an Interior diameter of five feet, will bebuilt considerably below the main lines and midway between them, This will be first con-structed, in order to drain the main tunnelswhile the work progresses, as well as afterward, and also to fully develop the character ofthe soil at the commencement of the work. Thegrade of the transit tunnels is one in fifty at eachend, witn luuo feet of level line under the river,The estimates for excavation and masonry are asloliows:

    Cubic Yard.Excavation In open cutting 200,000nxcavanon in tunncis 'z;)3,uouBrick masonry (exclusive of drainage tun

    nel) CS.nooStone masonry 8,700

    The entire cost of the tunnel and approachesincluding a permanent double track of steerails, rieht of way at the ends, etc., will amountto i2,50,000.

    I he enterprise is one 01 great magnitude andimportance, and its completion will mark thebeginning 01 a new era in American railroadengineering.

    IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.

    The Annual Report of the Xcw York CommlHStoncrs.

    From the annual report of the Commissionersof Emigration, which has just been issued, itappears tbat tbe total number of passengerslanded at New York during 1870 was 255,48(5, ofwnom 213,171) were aliens, a decrease or 4.),..1'Jfrom the number in 1809. The number of Ger-man immigrants in 1870 was 72,350, less by27,255 than during the preceding year. Thetotal number 01 Irish immigrants, 05,108, alsoshows a decrease of 1030. Of these immigrants104,088 came in steamers, and 18,834 in sailingvessels. The number of persons relieved lastyear Ry the Commissioners of Immigration was7 1,0 'J, and the amount 01 commutation moneyreceived by the commissioners was $531,830-50- ,of which a surplus of $350,503-8- remained onthe 31st 01 December, ine commission nasnow been in existence for twenty-fou-r years,during which time 4,500,000 immigrants havelanded in New York, of whom 1,320,012 havebeen assisted and provided with employment.On the 2d of February the commissioners resolved to reduce the amount of the commutatlon money from $2-5- to fLSO. The reportconcludes with an allusion to the frequentevasion of the payment of the commutationmoney by several of the steamship companies,by landing immigrants at another port, andforwardine: them by rail to New York. Theselm migrants are expressly excluded by law fromall the benehts 01 the landing depot and theresources of Ward's Island. The commissionerstherefore suggest that all railroad and steam-ship companies should be compelled to paycommutation for all immigrants bo transportedlrom otner points to JNew iotk.

    AFFRAY IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH.

    A Junatlc Stabs a Man and Brandishesan Axe The Congregation Threaten toLynch Him.During the morning service on Sunday in the

    Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent Ferrer,at Lexington avenue and Sixty-sixt- h street, NewYork, Jonn uioney. an irisn stone-cutte- r, agedthirty- - five, entered, wearing his hat. The sex-ton, James McLarney, requested him to removeit. uioney reiusea, ana ine sexton oraereu mmto leave the church. Glbney declined to go,and as he acted in a somewhat disorderly man-ner, two or three of the congregation steppedforwaid to assist the sexton lu expelling mm. liethen drew a knife and stabbed Michael Cully inthe head, the point 01 the blade breaking offand remaining In the skull, inflicting a veryterious wound. Several other members of thecongregation then came up and were about toseize (iibney, when he drew au axe from underhis coat, flourished it over his head, and loudlydeclared that he would "brain any niau" whoattempted to interfere with him. Tbe excite-ment among the congregation now becameintense. Many shouted "llang him ! '"Lynchhim !" ami a rope was Epecdily procured.. Aruth was made for him, and he was seized anddisarmed, but "before tbe crowd could cxrrytheir threats of lynching Into execution officersappeared, took (ilbneyinto custody, and lockedhim up in the East Fifty-niut- h Street PoliceStation. It is believed that he is lnsaue on thequestion of religion.

    THE PRESBYTERIANS.

    The Approaching General Assembly of theThe Gecernl Assembly of the Presbyterian

    Church of tbe United States will assemble inthe First Presbvterian church, Chicago, Illinois,on Thursday, the 18th inst, and will be openedwitn a sermon by Rev. Dr. Backus, ModeratorThis is the second assembly of the reunitedChurch, and, meeting in such a central place, itis expected that it will be well attended byrepresentative men from all parts of the country. . ...The important business 01 reconstruction willoccupy a large portion of the Assembly s timeThe report of the Committee on tbe MemorialFund will eagerly oe looked lor. This moveme lit is having a marked effect. Ministers areby it provided with comfortable houses. Loadsof debt have been swept away, and besides allthis it is expected that a large sum will beavailable for seminaries, the boards, and susteutatlon. There is every reason to believe thatfive million dollars at leaEt will be reported.

    The Home Mission report win suovr a pros-perous work in organizing new churches. Anoverture from the New York Presbytery concemlng the voluntary demission of the ministryby such as may desire it, is likely to give riseto keen debate. The reception of delegates fromBritain, Canada, etc., will be an interestingleature.

    W. W. FENNER,No. 127 NORTH SIXTH STREET,

    Sole Agent for Strater'a Patent.This machine is entirely different irom the old

    style Beer Pump. It performs its own work, andrequires no labor. The liquors are forced up fromtbe cellar to tbe bar-roo- by means of a pressure ofair made by force of water, and can be drawn justas clear as directly from the barrel.

    Among the many advantages claimed for thlamachine are, tbat tbe beer or ale never becomes,flat, and can be drawn as cold as Ice water with verysmall expense of Ice.

    Tbe Apparatus can always be seen at my place In.operation, or at any 01 tne principal iuuu m mm .
