THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIBER. TlTSn^Y. MARCH f, 1882. TRIPLE SHEET. LOCAL INTELLIQENCE. THE COCHET CLAIM. for Vaeiron. the Alleged Swindler, Held L>etr»udlcx Peter Hevener. Before Magistrate R. K ejnuth, yesterday • afternoon, James B. Mantrop had a final hear- ing, charged by Mr. Peter Hevener with the Larcei-y as bailee of SUCO shares of the Denver City Consolidated Mining Company, valoed at $4500. Mr. Hevener, who brings the charge, is well known as the claimant of two hundred millions of dollars against the Peruvian Government on account of the claim purchased b y o i j from Alexander Cochet, the discoverer of the guano deposits on the Chine hi Islands. At the hearing Mr. Hevener was represented by Mr. A. B. L. Shields as his counsel. The de- fendant was brought up from prison, having been in custody since last Monday. He was represented by Isaiah H. Brown and James F. Lynd. Esqs. The first witness examined was Mr. Hevener, who said he lived at No. IS North Nineteenth street. Before Mantrop's disappearance he had known him about two months. He had authorized the defendant to sell a share of the Cochet stock for $10,000. He sold part of it to Dr. Franklin Stewart, and had stated be was to sell a part of it to Mr. Jones. Mantrop was to receive ten per cent, of the consideration money. The witness was asked by Mr. Shields if he bad ever received any part of the proceeds of the sale, and to this he replied that he had never got a cent. Upon cross-examination he was asked whether at the time he authorized A HTJMOBOTJS TBIO. Bitting*, Burnett* and Riley Together la the Star Course. The largest audience the Star Coarse has drawn thin season assembled ia the Ac tdemy of Music last evening to enjoy the triple at- traction of Billings, Burdette and Riley on the .-ame programme. After Miss Josie Maree had executed with much spirit as a piano solo a transcription of "Beliaarto" by Goria, introduc- ing many of the gems of that grand work, Jofch Bdiings seated himself by a table at the front of the stage, and in. his familiar style read about a hundred of what the programme announced were his "best sayings." The humorist probably surmised tbey would, l.-ke wine, take on an extra merit with age, for most of the "sayings" he got off 1 tst evening were among the most ancient-in his budget. Kr. Burdette did not attempt to make a hu morcus address, but simply made a few dry hits while getting off a brief speech introduc- tory to Mr. Riley. Mr. Burdetta's remarks were chitfiy directed to showing the progress Indiana, the home of Mr. Riley, the "Hoosier Poet," has been making. Instead of being a State full of swamps and malaria, he said, the Bootaer State abounds in fine colleges, suparb roads, big manufactures and general morality. He cited the case of one of its counties that has never contained a liquor saloon since its creation, and added, "But it is the best county for drug stores you ever saw." He added that Philadelphia, in one respect, reminded him of this fact. "You have lees thieves here than in any o'her city cf the same size," he said, "but then you bare more detectives, and that Mantrop to sell one share he was the sole owner • of the Cochet claim.

This occasioned a short war of words among the lawyers, during which Coun- sellor Brown demanded the affidavit upon which the warrant for Mantrop's arrest was based. The magistrate stated that the affi iavit was sworn oat a year ago, and had been in his rcssession until the time of his removal from Seventh street to Sansom street. During the transfer of the magisterial papers and furni- ture to the new office the affidavit was lost. Mr. Brown objected to the hearing going on until the affidavit upon which the prosecution is based is produced. The magistrate declared that the hearing should go on. Mr. Brown then said he would ask no further questions nor take any part in the hearing on behalf of his client, itr. Shields then called Dr. Franklin Stewart, who said be resided at No. 3?.t& Pine street, and knew both Hevener and Mantrop. "I bought," Dr. Stewart went on to say. "a half share in the Cochet claim from Mr. He v- ner through Mantron. I paid for the half share of stock 3000 of Denver City Consoli- dated Mining Company. l e a v e t h e stock to Mantrop to MM to Mr. Hevener. Mantrop said at the time that he would hypothecate the stock at once for cash, and left me for that purpose, but afterward Mantrop returned and said he was too late to sell the stock that day." Hevener and Stewart were the only two witnesses called, and upon their testimony Mantrop was held in $5000 bail. As he had no one to go his bail the prisoner was returned to Moyamensing. Mr. Brown left the office with tha.understanding that he would be allowed a transcript of the magistrate's docket this morn- ing, for the purpose of an appeal from that functionary's decision. • SIDEWALK OBSTRUCTIONS. Arrest of Persons Charged With Violating City Ordinances. The attention of the Mayor was lately called to the violation of the ordinance prohibiting the obstruction of the sidewalks by signs and fruit and other stands, and the erection of framed buildings without authority of Coun- cils. Police Captain Wood was instructed to look into the matter and have the nuisances abated. The captain went to work actively, and compelled many people to comply with the ordinances. In a number of cases the offenses were continued. The City Solicitor was notified, and yesterday the delinquents were instructed to appear before Magistrate last. The defendants were Michael Matthews, who has a large wooden sign on the pavement in front of No. 109 Market street; George Stak- ler, who has a fruit stand on the curb in front of No. 10 Market street; John Connor, who has a fruit stand at the northeast corner of Water and Market streets; John Kelso, who erected a frame kitchen in the rear of his dwelhng.

The penalty for the erection of frame buildings without a special license is $T5, and $25 for each month's failure to remove them after notification. There is a penalty of $5 for the fruit stands. Fines were imposed in the cases above referred to. The Queen Congratulated. At a special meeting of the Society of the Sons of Si. George, held at St. George's Hall last evening, Mr. John Lucas presiding, the following telegram was ordered to be for- warded to the Queen: "ST GEORGE'S HALL, PHILADELPHIA, March f>. 18>s2 —To Her Majesty tbe Queen of Eng- land. Windsor: The members of the Society of the Sons of St. George, Philadelphia, at a meeting this evening, tender to your Majesty their heartfelt congratulations for yoar Majesty's escape fr^m the late cowardly at- tempt at assassination. "Jons LUCAS, President," » The Late John Gibson's Enormous Wealth. Tbe second account of Henry C. Gibwn and James T.

Mayor King said that he is quietly looking into the charges made against his detectives, and that the inquiry is progressing to his satis- faction, bat that he did not care to say any- thing as to the results for tbe present. Sweetheart of Mine." He spoke of the dialect poems of Bret Herte. Carleton, John Hav and others as productions that are not lik<sly to survive the fleeting favor of to-day. The Hoosier dialect poems, when not of a burlesque order, be believed to be as capable of true ex- pression as tbe Scotch dialect poems of Barns He recited "The Tree Toad" as an illustration of the burlesque Hoosier dialect poem, intended only to suit the purposes of the journalistic •funny man" of the hour, and followed it with "Squire Hawkins' Story," a homely but heart- some narrative of how a farmer's daughter managed to wed the poor, faithful swain of her choice and escape the mercenary aims of ber father, who wanted her wedded to an elderly owner of a farm or two. Mr. Riley also recited in the German- Ameri- can dialect a poem entitled "Dot Liddle Poy off Mine," the story, at once very humorous and intensely pathetic, of a simple-hearted German's devoted love for his baby, and how tbe latter died on Christmas morning while his parents were arranging his "Kriss Kringle" gitts. Mr. Riley proved himself not only a poet of genuine merit, bat a dialect speaker of rare ability, and tbe audience gave ample evidence of its appreciation of him in both capacities. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. Business Transacted at a Meeting Held Last Evening. A meeting of tbe Finance Committee of City Councils was held last evening in Select Coun- cil chamber, with Mr. Clay in the chair. An ordinance accepting Andrew C. Craig as one of the sureties of City Treasurer Martin, in place of Roger Maynes, was ordered to be referred to the chairman of tbe committee and the City Solicitor. It was provided that there should be attached to the ordinance a proviso that the oew surety should assume ail liability that would have been borne by Mr. Maynes had he continued in that position. An ordinance confirming the sale of certain city property, among others being a portion of the Almshouse grounds, caused seme discis- sion. Mr. Bardsley moved as an amendment to the Almshouse matter, that the city should open streets through the grounds without pavment )f damages, whenever it was deemed necessary to do so. A motion of Mr. Lex to postpone the further consideration of the subject until to-morrow evening was agreed to, with the understand- ing that in the meantime accurate plans of the property should be prepared. The question of the sale of a half acre of ground fronting on the Schuylkill was referred to a sub-committee, as were also that in rela- tion to lots in Master street, near Twenty- seventh, and in other parts of the north western section, in order that their value may be de- cided upon. Mr. Clay called attention to the fact that some of the properties in these neighborhoods * ere bringing $3 per foot, while the city had wld tbe ground it had for about $2 07.

Di»cas*loa of the Question by the Society for Organizing Charity. The monthly meeting of the Assembly of the Philadelphia Society for Organizing Charity was held last evening at No. 1420 Chestnut street. Mr. Philip C. Garrett, president, occu- pied the chair. The Committee on the Care of Children sub- mitted the following resolutions: Resolved, That in the opinion of the commit- tee it is greatly to be desired that the district organizations should make provision for the deserted children of their district, by establish- ing district houses, securing private homes, or in any other way that commends itself to their wisdom, always exercising care to provide in tbe end a permanent home in a good family for every deserted infant or child. Resolved, That it would, in the opinion of this committee, be advisable to establish a cen- tral bureau, composed of one delegate from each of such district organizations, hospitals and institutions caring for deserted children, where information as to the best means of car- iegfor them can at all times be accessible. Resolred, That a central hospital is needed for such deserted children as are too sick or otherwise unfit for being placed in homes, where they can be under proper care and su- pervision." Dr. Cadwalader read a paper on "The Care of Children/' in which he gave an account of the placing out plan as used in France and Massachusetts, and suggested the appointment of a children's bureau in this city, which would serve as a centre of reference for information concerning all children, Mr. James S. W bitney presented the report of tbe Cemmittee on Care of Children, which tated that 11 free kindergarten, caring for about :*0 children, have been established in his city, viz , Southwest corner of Twenty-sec- ond and L- cust: New street, between Front snd Second; No. 424 South Eleventh street, Cfcsreh of the Crucifixion, Bedford Street Mis- sim; Day Nursery and Children's Home, Xo. .ri; St. Mary street: Missi-n Church, St. Mary street, a hove Sixth; No. 71S Catharine street, No. £> Griscom street, No. 309 Branch street, No 2SS1 Jefferson street. The committee recommended tile adoption of the following resolutions on the subject: First. That we recommend to all the district associations the careful consideration-of the expediency of adopting the free kindergarten as a means for the prevention of poverty. Second Tbat we consider that the efficiency of all those now carried on would be promoted by placing them under the charge of an asso- ciation formed for that purpose, such as the Sub Primary School Association, with a view :o their systematic and economical manage- ment, and eventually to an incorporation into tbe j.ublic school system of the city. An address on the "Placing Out System" was read by Miss E. C. Putnam, of Boston, State auxiliary visitor and trustee of the State Re- form School, after which a paper on 'The Care of Deserted Infants" was read by Mr. Benja- min J. Crew, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. He was aware it was a difficult subject, bat we dare no longer turn our back on its investigation. - He next referred to the exposure and sale of children in the early part of the Christian era. Annually seven hundred infants perish from abuse or neglect. Mr. Crew, in the first place, spoke of tbe no-system plan, which he said was an opprobrium and a scandal. The next plan alluded to was the Almshouse plan. In this matter Philadelphia has not yet cast off her swaddling clothes of provincialism. The president of the Board of Guardians of the Poor had told Mr. Crew that all the children not taken away by their parents or adopted bed died within six months. The Almshouse, wh ch is situated on a sluggish river, and with- out an advisory board of ladies, it is not diffi- cult to account for this great mortality. By the asylum plan the rate of mortality would be greatly diminished. The Paris Foundling Asylum places the children out in the country, and tbe whole nffair is thoroughly organized. The mortality among these children is only 30 per cent. The last plan referred to was the asylum and •facing-out system combined, which, Mr. Crew asserted, further reduced the rate of mortality, fringing it down to 20 per cent. Addresses were also made by Dr. Cheston Morris, Mrs. Calkins, of Springfield, of the state Board of Health, Cnaritv and Lunacy of Massachusetts, and Mr. J. G. Rosengarten. The former said he bad been informed by a tbysician from the interior of the State that 1-e had visited a few years ago the Philadel- phia Almsbouse, and noticing in the children's asylum a little one whom he took a fancy to had it removed and placed in charge of a col- ored woman in another department, in order to save its life He was subsequently told by an Almshouse official that the child should not have been removed, as they wanted it to die. Action on the resolution was deferred until the next meeting of tbe assembly. MUST PAY UP. Complaint Against Magistrate Pole by tbe President of Common Council. William Henry Lex, Esq . yesterday secured from Judge Mitchell a citation to John F. Pole, magistrate of Court No. 10, ordering tim to appear before the court on Saturday next to show cause why he should not pay M-me seventy-five dollars which he is alleged to have secured under the following circumstan- rrs: Charles E. Lex, E*q., the brother of the pre- sent of Common Council, and also a lawyer, rcugbt suit before Magistrate Pole, on the 24th of October, 1SS1, in behalf of John D. Vclnnes against Hugh and James Deehan, who .o business as Hugh Deehan & Bra Judg- ment was entered for $78, and the costs, which amounted to & 75, were promptly paid by the plaintiff. On the 22d of November Mr. Lex ordered execution to be issued, and called on the 15th of December to get what money had been realized, bnt was asked to wait until January 2, which request he acceded to. Calling again on that date, and several times thereafter, he was continually put off, until on the 24th of the month he addressed a letter to tbe magistrate^ demanding that the money be paid over immediately. To this Pole made a conciliatory reply, guaranteeing that the money should be paid on the 2d of February. On the 2d, however, no money came a nd JAr.' Lex waited for the magistrate or his messen- ger all the afternoon. Rereated visits failed to bring the cash, and, finally, on the 2">th of February, Mr. Lex in- formed the magistrate that be would have to apply to court for relief, and demanded a transcript from bis docket, at the same time tendering the necessary fee. This the magis- trate declined to receive, and refused to either i*y the money or give the lawyer a transcript, although bis assistant, a man named William Wimer, admitted that about sixty dollars had been collected. Subsequently a promi<se to pay on March 4 was made, but as this, too. was not kept, the lawyer took the action above stated Magistrate Pole expressed great surprise that Mr. I>x bad adopted this course, when in- fornted by an INQVIRER reporter that the cita- tion had been secured. "Why," saii he, "the money has been at my office since Friday. All day Saturday and to-day it was there awaiting Mr. Lex's orders. I consider his action most unfriendly." ' f Tbe squire also denied, that he had received any notice tbat legal steps would be taken, and declared tbat tbe affair was no business of his, except that, as tbe defendant was a friend of bis clerk, he bad begged Mr. Lex to be lenient in the collection of the money. It was on the defendant's account tbat he had interested himself. but be knew that the money would be paid, and it had been paid and had lain in his office uncalled for for two days. ffant House of Cor lot lion Labor. Cooncilmen Evans, of the Twenty-sixth ward, and Rain stein, of the Twelfth, were be- fore the Managers of the House of Correction yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining how much the managers would charge for material and labor and cost of transporting the former, in tbe macadamizing of Passyunk avenue, from Twenty fifth street to the River road, and Long lane, from Mifflin street to Passyunk ave- nue, nearly a mile altogether. The Cooncil- men said the roads in qoestian are traveled by heavily laden teams, and good paving is de- Mired. They had been favorably impressed ' with the paving of South Broad street by House of Correction inmates, and«wanted to j get tbe data upon which to prepare an ordt- I nance, tbe passage of which will be pressed be- I fore Councils, asking for the requisite appro- ' priation for the work, the latter to be per- formed by the House of Correction inmates. Tbe necessary information will be furnished. • Supreme Court Decisions.

Adjourned . Chnxch Matters. On Sunday, in the Fourth Street Baptist Cburth, the pastor, Rev. J. K. Wynn, gave theight hand of fellowship to twenty persons, who were admitted into membership. Nine jersons were baptized in the Tabernacle Bap- tist Church by Rev., H. C. Thomas, of Phila- delphia. Sunday was the twenty-foarth anni- versary of tbe Second Presbyterian Church, which was appropriately celebrated. Serious Burning Case. On Sunday morning a lady named Kubar, residing at Atco, Camden county, was seri- ously, and, it is feared, fatally burned by an explosion of a bottle containing alcohol, which was standing near the stove. The alcohol im- mediately ignited, and tbe flames set fire to ber clothing. She was severely burned about Ler breast and face. One of the moat important, though not most conspicuous, figures m American Revolution- ary history is Gen. Arthur St Clair. A n offi- cer in the French war, holding various com- mands in the Revolutionary army; high in the confidence of Washington: a delegate to Con- gress from Philadelphia; President of the last Continental Congress; Governor of the North- west Territory; conspicuous in the later Indian wars in that section: prominent for years in its political struggles; outrageously swindled by Congress; dying at last in poverty, Arthur St. Clair's name appears in almost every page of American history for more than half a centurv. I* is time "it were rescued from the oblivion to which a forgetful country is fast consigning it, and this task has been well par- formed by Wm, Henry Smith, whese two large volumes of "St. Clair Papers,'' containinganac- couat of the life and public services of the treo- eral, statesman and patriot,.bave been issued by Robert Carter & Co., Cincinnati. This, however, forms but a small part of oae -volume., The bulk of the work consists of edited and anno- tated letters and papers of great political and historical interest. The correspondence in- cludes letters from Washington and almost all the distinguished Revolutionary leaders; official papers and letters showine tbe progress of civil government west of the Ohio under the ordi- nance of 17S7; tbe international troubles in the Mississippi valley; the intrigue of tbe anti- Kedexalists against Jefferson's second election, and much other interesting and valuable mat- ter. One volume is given to the affairs of the Northwest Territory, and here much impor- tant historical matter is gathered and ar- ranged Tbe work is well coodensed and care- fully edited, and may be fairly co.isidered, as the publishers «»l«iTn it to be, "cha m »C impor- tant contribution of»» original material to American historv issued from tbe press for many vears."

Judge Wallace's decision in the famous grape Sugar case of the New York Grape Sugar Company, of New York city, against the Ame- rican Grape Sugar Company, of Buffalo, C. J. Hamlin, president, denying the complainant's motion for a preliminary injunction, attracts considerable attention from the importance of the issues involved. The action was instituted last fall for the recovery, it is said, of $5.fXW,- "00 damages for infringement of three letters patent, issued in 1S67-S, to James J. Gilbert, of Little Kails, and subsequently transferred to | tbe complainants, covering the process and ma- j chinery for manufacturing starch. Tbe complainants also asked for a perpetual : injunction restraining the continuance of such ) alleged unlawful use of the inventions. The • motion for a preliminary injunction was argued before Judge Wallace, at Chambers, in Syra- cuse, November 25 last, by Dickerson <fe Dick- erson and Roscoe Conkling, of New York, in bebalf of tbe complainants, and Sherman S. Rogers, cf Buffalo, George B. Seldon, of this citv, and George Harding, of Philadelphia, in behalf of tbe defendants, tbe judge reserving bis decision. Tbe motion was based on affi- davits showing the use by the defendants of the patented processes and devices, and was defended upon the ground of alleged invalidity of the patents. It was also claimed that no preliminary in- junction could issue on account of the com- plainant's delay in bringing the motion and on the ground that tbe invention had been in public use in Buffalo and elsewhere in the United States, and had been previously patented in France and England Tbe case will probably be brought to a final hearing before Judge Blatehford, at Canandaigua, next June, and will be watched with interest by all manufac- turers and dealers to starch throughout the United Statea—N.

LOCAL INTELLIQENCE. THE COCHET CLAIM.

for V a e i r o n . the Al l eged Swindler , H e l d L>etr»udlcx P e t e r Hevener .

Before Magistrate R. K ejnuth, yesterday • afternoon, James B. Mantrop had a final hear­ing, charged by Mr. Peter Hevener with the Larcei-y as bailee of SUCO shares of the Denver City Consolidated Mining Company, valoed at $4500. Mr. Hevener, who brings the charge, is well known as the claimant of two hundred millions of dollars against the Peruvian Government on account of the claim purchased b y o i j from Alexander Cochet, the discoverer of the guano deposits on the Chine hi Islands.

At the hearing Mr. Hevener was represented b y Mr. A. B. L. Shields as his counsel. The de­fendant was brought up from prison, having been in custody since last Monday. He was represented by Isaiah H. Brown and James F. Lynd. Esqs. The first witness examined was Mr. Hevener, who said he lived a t No. I S North Nineteenth street. Before Mantrop's disappearance he had known him about two months. He had authorized the defendant to sell a share of the Cochet stock for $10,000. He sold part of it to Dr. Franklin Stewart, and had stated be was to sell a part of it to Mr. Jones. Mantrop was to receive ten per cent, of the consideration money.

The witness was asked by Mr. Shields if he bad ever received any part of the proceeds of the sale, and to this he replied that he had never got a cent. Upon cross-examination he was asked whether at the time he authorized

The largest audience the Star Coarse has drawn thin season assembled ia the A c tdemy of Music last evening to enjoy the triple at­traction of Bil l ings, Burdette and Riley on the .-ame programme. After Miss Josie Maree had executed with much spirit as a piano solo a transcription of "Beliaarto" by Goria, introduc­ing many of the gems of that grand work, Jofch Bdiings seated himself by a table a t the front of the stage, and i n . his familiar style read about a hundred of what the programme announced were his "best sayings."

The humorist probably surmised tbey would, l.-ke wine, take on an extra merit with age, for most of the "sayings" he got off 1 tst evening were among the most ancient-in his budget. Kr. Burdette did not attempt to make a hu morcus address, but simply made a few dry hits while gett ing off a brief speech introduc­tory to Mr. Ri ley . Mr. Burdetta's remarks were chitfiy directed to showing the progress Indiana, the home of Mr. Riley, the "Hoosier Poet," has been making. Instead of being a State full of swamps and malaria, he said, the Bootaer State abounds in fine colleges, suparb roads, big manufactures and general morality.

He cited the case of one of its counties that has never contained a liquor saloon since its creation, and added, "But it is the best county for drug stores y o u ever saw." He added that Philadelphia, in one respect, reminded him of this fact. "You have lees thieves here than in any o'her c i ty c f the same size," he said, "but then you b a r e more detectives, and that

this question as having no pertinency to the point at issue. This occasioned a short war of words among the lawyers, during which Coun­sellor Brown demanded the affidavit upon which the warrant for Mantrop's arrest was based. The magistrate stated that the affi iav i t was sworn oat a year ago, and had been in his rcssession until the time of his removal from Seventh street to Sansom street. During the transfer of the magisterial papers and furni­ture to the new office the affidavit was lost.

Mr. Brown objected t o the hearing going on until the affidavit upon which the prosecution is based is produced.

The magistrate declared that the hearing should go on.

Mr. Brown then said he would ask no further questions nor take any part in the hearing on behalf of his client, itr. Shields then called Dr. Franklin Stewart, who said be resided at No. 3?.t& Pine street, and knew both Hevener and Mantrop.

"I bought," Dr. Stewart went on to say. "a half share in the Cochet claim from Mr. He v-ner through Mantron. I paid for the half share of stock 3000 of Denver City Consoli­dated Mining Company. l e a v e the stock to Mantrop to MM to Mr. Hevener. Mantrop said at the time that he would hypothecate the stock at once for cash, and left me for that purpose, but afterward Mantrop returned and said he was too late to sell the stock that day."

Hevener and Stewart were the on ly t w o witnesses called, and upon their test imony Mantrop was held in $5000 bail. A s he had no one to go his bail the prisoner was returned to Moyamensing. Mr. Brown left the office with tha.understanding that he would be allowed a transcript of the magistrate's docket this morn­ing, for the purpose of an appeal from that functionary's decision.

Arrest of Persons Charged W i t h V i o l a t i n g City Ordinances .

The attention of the Mayor was lately called to the violation of the ordinance prohibiting the obstruction of the sidewalks by signs and fruit and other stands, and the erection of framed buildings without authority of Coun­cils. Police Captain Wood was instructed to look into the matter and have the nuisances abated. The captain went to work actively, and compelled m a n y people to comply with the ordinances. In a number of cases the offenses were continued. The City Solicitor was notified, and yesterday the delinquents were instructed to appear before Magistrate last .

The defendants were Michael Matthews, who has a large wooden sign on the pavement in front of No. 109 Market street; George Stak-ler, who has a fruit stand on the curb in front of No. 10 Market street; John Connor, who has a fruit stand at the northeast corner of Water and Market streets; John Kelso, who erected a frame kitchen in the rear of his dwelhng. No. 1611 Deal street; James Qainn, who has a frame stand on the curb in front of No . UC Market street: Frank Osborn. who has a stand in front of No. 180 Market street; George Phillips, who erected a frame stable in the rear cf ms dwelling on Juniata street, above Race, West Philadelphia; Edwara Gavin, who put up a frame staole and chicken noose on his premises, Sixty-second and-a-half street, W e s t Philadelphia; Joseph Pugson and Joseph McCauley, who erected frame stables in the same locality, and Augustine Bozzano, who has fruit stands on the northwest corner of Second and Market streets, The latter has two stands, one of which extends eight feet from the house, completely blocking tbe sidewalk, and, fail ing to remove them, ha«, it is said, been fined twice within a week. The penalty for the erection of frame buildings without a special license is $T5, and $25 for each month's failure to remove them after notification. There is a penalty of $5 for the fruit stands. Fines were imposed in the cases above referred to.

The Queen Congratulated. At a special meeting of the Society of the

Sons of Si. George, held at St. George's Hall last evening, Mr. John Lucas presiding, the following telegram was ordered to be for­warded to the Queen:

m On a Still Hunt-

In answer to questions put to him yesterday. Mayor King said that he is quietly looking into the charges made against his detectives, and that the inquiry is progressing to his satis­faction, bat that he did not care to say any­thing as to the results for tbe present.

Sweetheart of Mine." He spoke of the dialect poems of Bret Herte. Carleton, John Hav and others as productions that are not lik<sly to survive the fleeting favor of to-day. The Hoosier dialect poems, when not of a burlesque order, be believed to be as capable of true ex­pression as tbe Scotch dialect poems of Barns

He recited "The Tree Toad" as an illustration of the burlesque Hoosier dialect poem, intended only to suit the purposes of the journalistic •funny man" of the hour, and followed it with "Squire Hawkins' Story," a homely but heart-some narrative of how a farmer's daughter managed to w e d the poor, faithful swain of her choice and escape the mercenary aims of ber father, w h o wanted her wedded to an elderly owner of a farm or two.

Mr. Riley also recited in the German- Ameri­can dialect a poem entitled "Dot Liddle Poy off Mine," the story, a t once very humorous and intensely pathetic, of a simple-hearted German's devoted love for his baby, and how tbe latter died on Christmas morning while his parents were arranging his "Kriss Kringle" gitts. Mr. Ri ley proved himself not only a poet of genuine merit , ba t a dialect speaker of rare ability, and tbe audience gave ample evidence of its appreciation of h im in both capacities.

T H E F I N A N C E COMMITTEE.

Business Tra ns a c ted at a M e e t i n g H e l d Last E v e n i n g .

A meeting of tbe Finance Committee of City Councils was held last evening in Select Coun­cil chamber, w i t h Mr. Clay in the chair.

A n ordinance accepting Andrew C. Craig as one of the sureties of City Treasurer Martin, in place of Roger Maynes, w as ordered t o be referred to the chairman of tbe committee and the City Solicitor. It was provided that there should be attached to the ordinance a proviso that the oew surety should assume ail liability that would have been borne by Mr. Maynes had he continued in that position.

A n ordinance confirming the sale of certain city property, a m o n g others being a portion of the Almshouse grounds, caused seme d isc i s ­sion.

Mr. Bardsley moved as an amendment to the Almshouse matter , that the city should open streets through the grounds without pavment )f damages, whenever it was deemed necessary to do so.

A motion of Mr. L e x to postpone the further consideration of the subject until to-morrow evening was agreed to, with the understand­ing that in the meantime accurate plans of the property should be prepared.

The question of the sale of a half acre of ground fronting on the Schuylkill was referred to a sub-committee, as were also that in rela­tion to lots in Master street, near Twenty-seventh, and in other parts of the north western section, in order that their value may be de­cided upon.

Mr. Clay called attention to the fact that some of the properties in these neighborhoods * ere bringing $3 per foot, while the c i ty had wld tbe ground i t had for about $2 07.

After quite a long discussion the ordinance W8s referred to a sub-committee wi th instruc-.ions to report to-morrow night.

Di»cas*loa of t h e Quest ion by the Society for Organiz ing Charity.

The monthly meeting of the Assembly of the Philadelphia Society for Organizing Charity was held last evening a t No. 1420 Chestnut street. Mr. Philip C. Garrett, president, occu­pied the chair.

The Committee on the Care of Children sub­mitted the following resolutions:

Resolved, That in the opinion of the commit­tee it is greatly to be desired that the district organizations should make provision for the deserted children of their district, by establish­ing district houses, securing private homes, or in any other w a y that commends itself to their wisdom, always exercising care to provide in tbe end a permanent home in a good family for every deserted infant or child.

Resolved, That i t would, in the opinion of this committee, be advisable to establish a cen­tral bureau, composed of one delegate from each of such district organizations, hospitals and institutions caring for deserted children, where information as to the best means of car-i e g f o r them can at all times be accessible.

Resolred, That a central hospital is needed for such deserted children as are too sick or otherwise unfit for being placed in homes, where they can be under proper care and su­pervision."

Dr. Cadwalader read a paper on "The Care of Children/' in which he gave an account of the placing out plan as used in France and Massachusetts, and suggested the appointment of a children's bureau in this city, which would serve as a centre of reference for information concerning all children,

Mr. James S. W bitney presented the report of tbe Cemmittee on Care of Children, which tated that 11 free kindergarten, caring for

about :*0 children, have been established in his city, viz , Southwest corner of Twenty-sec­

ond and L- cust: N e w street, between Front snd Second; No. 424 South Eleventh street, Cfcsreh of the Crucifixion, Bedford Street Mis-s i m ; Day Nursery and Children's Home, Xo. .r i ; St. Mary street: Missi-n Church, St. Mary street, a hove S ixth; No. 71S Catharine street, No. £ > Griscom street, No. 309 Branch street, No 2SS1 Jefferson street.

The committee recommended tile adoption of the following resolutions on the subject:

First. That we recommend to all the district associations the careful consideration-of the expediency of adopting the free kindergarten as a means for the prevention of poverty.

Second Tbat w e consider that the efficiency of all those now carried on would be promoted by placing them under the charge of an asso­ciation formed for that purpose, such as the Sub Primary School Association, with a view :o their systematic and economical manage­ment, and eventually to an incorporation into tbe j.ublic school system of the city.

An address on the "Placing Out System" was read by Miss E . C. Putnam, of Boston, State auxiliary visitor and trustee of the State Re­form School, after which a paper on 'The Care of Deserted Infants" was read by Mr. Benja­min J. Crew, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty t o Children. He was aware it was a difficult subject, bat we dare no longer turn our back on its investigation. - He next referred to the exposure and sale of children in the early part of the Christian era. Annually seven hundred infants perish from abuse or neglect. Mr. Crew, in the first place, spoke of tbe no-system plan, which he said was an opprobrium and a scandal.

The next plan alluded to was the Almshouse plan. In this matter Philadelphia has not ye t cast off her swaddling clothes of provincialism. The president of the Board of Guardians of the Poor had told Mr. Crew that all the children not taken away by their parents or adopted bed died within six months. The Almshouse, wh ch is situated on a sluggish river, and with­out an advisory board of ladies, it is not diffi­cult to account for this great mortality. B y the asylum plan the rate of mortality would be greatly diminished.

The Paris Foundling Asylum places the children out in the country, and tbe whole nffair is thoroughly organized. The mortality among these children is only 30 per cent. The last plan referred to was the asylum and •facing-out system combined, which, Mr. Crew asserted, further reduced the rate of mortality, fringing it down t o 20 per cent.

Addresses were also made by Dr. Cheston Morris, Mrs. Calkins, of Springfield, of the state Board of Health, Cnaritv and Lunacy of Massachusetts, and Mr. J. G. Rosengarten.

The former said he bad been informed by a tbysician from the interior of the State that 1-e had visited a f ew years ago the Philadel­phia Almsbouse, and noticing in the children's asylum a little one whom he took a fancy to had it removed and placed in charge of a col­ored woman in another department, in order to save its l i f e He was subsequently told by an Almshouse official that the child should not have been removed, as they wanted it to die.

Action on the resolution was deferred until the next meeting of tbe assembly.

Complaint Aga ins t Magistrate Po le by tbe Pres ident o f Common Council .

William Henry Lex, Esq . yesterday secured from Judge Mitchell a citation to John F . Pole, magistrate of Court No. 10, ordering t i m to appear before the court on Saturday next to show cause w h y he should not pay M-me seventy-five dollars which he is alleged to have secured under the following circumstan-rrs:

Charles E. Lex , E*q., the brother of the pre­s e n t of Common Council, and also a lawyer, rcugbt suit before Magistrate Pole, on the

24th of October, 1SS1, in behalf of John D. Vclnnes against Hugh and James Deehan, who .o business as Hugh Deehan & B r a Judg­ment was entered for $78, and the costs, which amounted to & 75, were promptly paid by the plaintiff. On the 22d of November Mr. Lex ordered execution to be issued, and called on the 15th of December to get what money had been realized, bnt was asked to wait until January 2, which request he acceded to.

Calling again on that date, and several times thereafter, he was continually put off, until on the 24th of the month he addressed a letter to tbe magistrate^ demanding that the money be paid over immediately. To this Pole made a conciliatory reply, guaranteeing that the money should be paid on the 2d of February. On the 2d, however, no money came a nd JAr.' Lex waited for the magistrate or his messen­ger all the afternoon.

Rereated visits failed to bring the cash, and, finally, on the 2">th of February, Mr. Lex in­formed the magistrate that be would have to apply to court for relief, and demanded a transcript from bis docket, at the same time tendering the necessary fee. This the magis­trate declined to receive, and refused to either i * y the money or give the lawyer a transcript, although bis assistant, a man named William Wimer, admitted that about s ix ty dollars had been collected.

Subsequently a promi<se to pay on March 4 was made, but as this, too. was not kept, the lawyer took the action above s tated

Magistrate Pole expressed great surprise that Mr. I > x bad adopted this course, when in-fornted by an INQVIRER reporter that the cita­tion had been secured. "Why," s a i i he, "the money has been at m y office since Friday. All day Saturday and to-day it was there awaiting Mr. Lex's orders. I consider his action most unfriendly." ' f

Tbe squire also denied, that he had received any notice tbat legal steps would be taken, and declared tbat tbe affair was no business of his, except that, as tbe defendant was a friend of bis clerk, he bad begged Mr. Lex to be lenient in the collection of the money. It was on the defendant's account tbat he had interested himself. but be knew that the money would be paid, and i t had been paid and had lain in his office uncalled for for two days.

f f a n t House of Cor l o t l ion Labor . Cooncilmen Evans, of the Twenty-s ixth

The Cooncil­men said the roads in qoestian are traveled by heavi ly laden teams, and good paving is de-Mired. They had been favorably impressed ' with the paving of South Broad street by House of Correction inmates, and«wanted to j get tbe data upon which to prepare an ordt- I nance, tbe passage of which will be pressed be- I fore Councils, asking for the requisite appro- ' priation for the work, the latter to be per-formed by the House of Correction inmates. Tbe necessary information will be furnished.

One of the moat important, though not most conspicuous, figures m American Revolution­ary history is Gen. Arthur S t Clair. A n offi­cer in the French war, holding various com­mands in the Revolutionary army; high in the confidence of Washington: a delegate to Con­gress from Philadelphia; President of the last Continental Congress; Governor of the North­west Territory; conspicuous in the later Indian wars in that section: prominent for years in its political struggles; outrageously swindled by Congress; dying at last in poverty, Arthur St. Clair's name appears in almost every page of American history for more than half a centurv.

grape Sugar case of the N e w York Grape Sugar Company, of New York city, against the Ame­rican Grape Sugar Company, of Buffalo, C. J. Hamlin, president, denying the complainant's motion for a preliminary injunction, attracts considerable attention from the importance of the issues involved. The action was instituted last fall for the recovery, i t is said, of $5.fXW,-"00 damages for infringement of three letters patent, issued in 1S67-S, to James J . Gilbert, of Little Kails, and subsequently transferred to | tbe complainants, covering the process and ma- j chinery for manufacturing starch.

Tbe complainants also asked for a perpetual : injunction restraining the continuance of such ) alleged unlawful use of the inventions. The • motion for a preliminary injunction was argued before Judge Wallace, at Chambers, in Syra­cuse, November 25 last, by Dickerson <fe Dick-erson and Roscoe Conkling, of N e w York, in bebalf of tbe complainants, and Sherman S. Rogers, cf Buffalo, George B. Seldon, of this citv, and George Harding, of Philadelphia, in behalf of tbe defendants, tbe judge reserving bis decision. Tbe motion was based on affi­davits showing the use by the defendants of the patented processes and devices, and was defended upon the ground of alleged invalidity of the patents.

I t was also claimed that no preliminary in­junction could issue on account of the com­plainant's delay in bringing the motion and on the ground that tbe invention had been in public use in Buffalo and elsewhere in the United States, and had been previously patented in France and E n g l a n d Tbe case will probably be brought to a final hearing before Judge Blatehford, at Canandaigua, next June, and will be watched with interest by all manufac­turers and dealers to starch throughout the United Statea—N. T, Times.
