PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 26. 1916.

During the prime pal part of last night rain fell
in torrents, and to-day we have the continuation
OF Il cold and disagreeable storm from the north
east.
About ) o'clock this morning crowd was at
tracted 10 the wharf by the arrival of the schr.
William Russell, tastefuly ornamented with flags
and streamers, having on board the Quick
Guards, OF your city. A gun was fired from the
schooner she neared the wharf, which was re-
sponded TO by the cheers of the spectators
strong committee of members of the Washington
Engine Company were in waiting at the wharf,
and gave the strangers a hearty welcome. They
shortly afterwards started with their band on
parade through the principal streets of the city,
attracting universal attention. Their uniform and
accoutretne nts were much admired, and the ir oe-
neral appearance elected the remark that such a
band OF men could not but be successful in their
eXeruons whether il be as tirenen to stop the
ravages OF the devourng elements, or to meet the
enemies OF their country as corps of volunteers
Alter refreshing themselves at the house OF the
Washington Engine Company, they in company
win tue committee of arrangements, proceeded
IN omnibuses TO FAIR Mount and the other objects
OF INTEREST to strangers IN that vicinity, and from
thence extended their ride TO the Falls OF Schuyl-
kill, where they dined. The hold of the vessel IN
which they made their excursion, is filed with
temporary berths, forming u comfortable place to
quauter H.
The case of Ellen NJ Woodwork, who some
months since, disappeared from this city, and en-
deavore ed 10 make the public believe that she h adj
committed suicide by depositng some clothing
and letter on the wharf, is likely come bp fore
the CRIMINAL court at its next session. She had
been held to bail in May last, to answer certain
charges Tor attempts at eXtortion, and a certain
person well known about these dggipgs for his
KIND heartedness in standing bail when hand
somely remunerated for it, after receiving the
sum OF SIS, went security for her appearance
Becoming dissatisfied with the amount he had re-
lafiu thr,,
unless she repeated the fee. To avoid this she
delnded the public with pretended suicide, and
made tracks for New York, where it Is believed
she still Is. The prospect now is that the rrcoo-
nizance which has already been Forfeited will be
sued out, and the bail be forced To disgorge some
of hi earnings by this dlshonorable traffic
Your correspondent, as well as large number
OF Others IN this city, have lately had reason to
alter their opinion in relation 10 the recent rob-
berry OF Mr.. Barncastle being an actual occur
renee. He has had the modesty, and | give
nun credu Tor II, to avoid declaring upon oath the
circumstances which attended the suppositious
affair, and though summoned to attend a clerical
tribunal, composed OF the pastor and elders of the
Presbyterian church which he was attached
stances, it would be n folly to contend that
he was mnocen.. If he does not respond to
the summons within period of ten days,
he will be adjudged guilty of contumacy, and
suspended from his privileges as elder of the
church. He has moved his family from the house
IN which they resided, but it is believed he is stl

upon the character of the city i'm this transaction
and should be IN some way punished
