nocent Of any charge of dishonesty Whatever
They only went to Baltimore ION n lark"
Being always willing to repair an injury, we
called on Justice Showacre yesterday, and OBJ
tanned the following copy, rerb, ct it,, Of the
Telegraphc Despatch referred to:
"PHLADELPHrA, Sept, 29th, 1916.
"Alr. - -: David Thompson, alias
John Crawford, and William Merrck, alias
Henry Jones, sojouTning with you, are run
aways. Please detain them, or any boys that
may arrive at your house, from Philada., and
colleaguing with said boys, until October LIST,
when the parents will see you and settle
Money has been stolen.
GEORGE MERRIcK"
The DESPATCH we think, rcctIies our "blun-
der, but if it be requested further, we will
call again on Justice Showacre, and show that
some $780, in money and jewelry, was taken
by somebody. The boys named above, for
aught we know, are innocent, but we think
they should pick their company better, the
next time they come "to Baltimore 'on lark. ,"
VIII the Philadelphia Sun folks rectify their
"blunder?"
East Lombard Street. The eastern extremity
of Lombard st. has recently been the theatre Of
extensive improvements. The hills in the vi
entity of Ann, Wolfe and Washington streets,
have been removed, and those streets together
with Lombard street are now graded and paw
ed and CHrh-stones put down. A number OF
small but neat and comfortable dwellings have
been erected. In extending Lombard ST. the
workmen, some time ago, dug through an an
cient burial ground, in which interments had
not been made for fifty years. A number Of
graves were discovered, and pieces of collins
and human bones were found, which, we be-
heve, were reinforced in another spot. Thus
the genius Of modern innovation and improve
meIIt pursues its restless way, oVerturning the
vestiges of the past and celebrating the graves
Of the departed,
Counting The Votes. We would call the at
temtion of The Judges Of the election to-day, in
all the wards, to the ptoprety of adopting
| unlio m mode OF counting the votes tonight
/ let them call but one name--fUr instance, MIR.
Nansaut, If democratic ticket, or Mr. keyser,
/ if wing ticket, and where the ticket is
scratched, lay it aside, until all the whole tick
cts are counted. Some of the wards have pur-
sued this mode for several years, and have
I invariably finished the counting long before
those who have kept on in the old way. Eve
! ry thing is susceptible Improvement in these
days. We expect, ere long, TO hear of some
Yankee lnventing machine to count the votes
Until then, drive ahead as fast as you can gen.
tlemen, and relieve the painful suspense Of the
''dear people, and the detention of the weari-
ed printer.
Yhro1Oing Stones Officers Taylor, Knigh-
ton, Ray and Mclntire, Yesterday afternoon,
made descent upon party Of about one
hundred boys, who were engaged in a stone
fight, on the commons, near Paramount. They
succeeded in capturing four of the party, who
gave their names as Covin Cooper, James
Hatcheson, Ezekiel Moae and Richard Moore.
Justice kennard fined them each 81, with
costs, for throwing stones, and held them to
bail to keep the peace. This is a good begin
ming, and we hope that more arrests may be
made in the same quarter, for we are informed
that these fights have become so bad, that per-
sons have been compelled to shut their win
dows and doors, to avoid the stones which we've
thrown. 1t is a nuisance which should be
broken up.
Public School Teachers. We learn, that at a
meeting of the Public School Commissioners,
held at the City Hall, yesterday afternoon, the
following appointments were made:-Thomas
| S Bennett second assistant teacher of Male
School No. G; and Eeonora Jenkins, third as
sistant of Female School No. 2. The subject
matter in relation to certain books now used in
the schools, was brought up, but without any
action, was deferred until the next meeting of
! the Board.
/ The Courts. The City Court transacted no
business yesterday, other than naturalize a
number of foreigners, and receive the reports
/ of the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury was dis
charged until Monday, and the Court ADJOURN
ed until Friday morning.-The County
Court Yesterday concluded the case Of Lom-
I tbo ;,r,, e..
n verdict for the plaintiffs. The balance of
the day was occupied in naturalizlng foreigners,
when the Court adjourned until Saturday
morning.
Whai has become Of the TKttch.houSe Boarders2
The watch-house reports for the several dis
tric,s have been very meagre of names for the
past week-those of the western and eastern
districts for Monday night were perfect blanks
! not even the name OF single ledger being
upon them. What's the cause; Have they
become moral, good citizens; or, have they
been "cooped" by the politicians? We suspect
the latter.
For The Rio Grande. The barque Margaret
Hugg, of this port, has been chartered by the
War Department, to take attachments of re-
cruits and regular soldiers from Fort Mct1enry
! and Fort Monroe, Va, to the Rio Grande.-
