Correspondence Of The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, Sunday, June :.
The weather has not behaved itself like Sum-
mer. but is still dull, cloudy and uncomfortable.
An arrest was made Friday night which may
lead to the detection of the robbers OF Hideburns
jewelry store, some time since. A gentleman took
a watch to jewellers to be repaired, and upon
consulting the register it was found to have num-
Der corresponding to those stolen. This fact was
communicated to the Police, and the gentlemen,
upon interrogation, stated that he bought two
watches from Isaac Abrams notorious parsonage
of our city. Capt Logue then arrested Abrams
and found another of the stolen watches on his per
SON The hearing before the Mayor was not pub
lic but / suppose Abrams was admitted to bail, az
saw him last night in the Streets or has proved
stool pigeon or turned States evidence.
The Loco Foco candidate for Canal Commission
or. William T. Morrison, is from Montgomery Co.
He is a member Of the present Legislature, OF me-
dunn talent and but little known beyond his own
vicinity. Though his nomination was confirmed
unanimously cannot believe that he will be I'M
animousy supported by his party he was NOM
mated by the Cameron influence after many unsuc-
cessfu attempts to get Mr.. HUXLEY. During the
ballotines Sam'l Overshine and Lawyer hankin'
as be is sometimes called, two noted Loco Focos,
were charged with having attempted the virtue OF
Mr. J. s. Donahue, a Delegate from our County
Committee was appointed to investigate, whose
verdict was Overshine and Rankin guilty some
Donahue none" The facts in evidence were that
Dopabue borrowed $50 from o. * X. as he was
short of funds but nothing that squnted toward
a request that ID. should vote for HUXLEY was
elected. The only point that puzzles me is, If D.
wanted $3.50 to bring him home from Willamsport
getting out of change, how many thousands did he
carry with him for travelling expenses? We went
there and back again last Summer remained
week and it did not cost Us the total OF $50
The Commissioners Of Moyamensing wisely
changed their minds about exposing /" in state the
BODY Of the murdered Waterman Mooney. My init
nation in Thursdays Tribune that the murderer OF
Mooney had shipped for whaling voyage created
quite an excitement when your paper reached here.
Mayors Prosecutors and officers were galvanized,
and were suddenly fearful the ends Of justice would
be obstructed Three or four official persons knew
the fact in time to secure the arrest but not one OF
them stirred which was as shameful a perversion
of duty as ever knew. Several arrests have taken
place of participants, but the one who fred the shot
is as well known to the Moyamenslng ponce as
am to you and was known before his escape. Inc
coroners jury in Moneys case adjourned last night
their verdict is withheld TO further justice.
Mr. j. Y. HUMPHREYS, one OF our enterpr1slng lor-
wardne merchants of the firm OF HUMPHREYS Du-
till x Co. died very suddenly last evening. About
o'clock he stepped into Congress Hall and took
seat. looking so badly that a gentleman present
asked if he required assistance. No answer was
returned. but Mr.. II. fell back in the chair and ex-
pired instantly-probably from an affection OF the
heart Mr. II. was much esteemed for his business
probity and enterprise.
A lad named John Cassidy, nine years of age,
while PLAYING with others in an old Tannery corner
of Fourth and Willow sts commenced excavating
with their hands the bottom of OF the watts, the
frame work of which had been removed or rotted
away This brought the loose earth down, cover
ing several of the boys, and when Cassidy was
found be was dead with his neck broken.
