JOIN BROWNS BopY IN PHILADELPHIA.

From The Philadelphia Sunday Transcript
The body of John Brown passed through the city
yesterday afternoon. II arrived by the Baltimore
train and was met at the depot by large coneourse
of people, principally colored. The body came IN
charge OF Mrs Brown the widow Of the deceased, ac-
companied by Miller McIiim and Messrs, Hector and
Tyndall Of this city, These persons went 10 haIpers
Ferry with Mrs. Brown, and in all her troubles mani
tested themselves her friends.
The train by which the body arrived came in from
Baltimore, at Broad and Prime streets, at twenty
minutes Of one o'clock. For half an hour previous, a
crowd of colored persons and few white sympa-
thizers who mngliDg with the usual crowd of carriage
and omnibus drivers, baggage snashers, &c, who col
lect about the station az Broad and Prime streets,
blockaded the depot entrance.
A Reception Committee, headed by Dr. furness,
was in attendance to receive Mrs. Brown and party
at the station; while large police force was also de-
tailed for services the Mayor and Chief Of Police were
present on the arrival Of the tran and were CAPPED at
by the crowd in a very decided manner.
When the train came in, Mrs. Brown with two
ladies accompanying her. left the cars and passed down
Washington street, leaning on the arm OF Mr.. Tynda
At Eleventh street they took city railway car, and
passed up to k1eh street. Mrs. Brown will remain in
this city until fomorrow, at the house of friend:
Mrs. Brown is aged lady, stout and firm in de-
meanor, and is dressed in mourning.
The removal of the body in safety was a matter re-
curing some little inesse. The Mayor, have said,
was personally present. The Mayor surveyed the
mob of medical students and colored people, and m
ferred possibility that squabble might ensue, and
the body be sut lected TO lndgnlues.
The Mayor now adopted ruse, rendered all the
more necessary in consequence of the espionage of
lot of boys who climbed to the top of the high fence
and reported progress the crowd that surrounded the
building. The Mayor now procured the services OF a
furniture wagon, drawn by iifteeD-dolar gelding.
Into this placed old tool chest that belonged to
the carpenter at the depot, which was mutied in
e-blanket, and word was at once passed 10 the
throng by the urchins that Browns body was about to
start. A moment afterward the vehicle appeared,
while shout went up from the multitude that sounded
like thunder in miniature. Instanter the mob followed
in pursuit The driver of the vehicle urged his raw
boned steed the top of his gait and after him ran
the painting people, black and white, all intermngled
in ndiscrimnate confusion. As fast one lot became
"blown" others filed their places, and this ndescrba
bly, ludicrous scene prolonged very nearly until
the vehicle reached the Camden depot by that time,
however its followers had weared, and the driver hav
ing received his fee in advance, went about his regu-
lar business.
The ruse was perfect success, and entirely cleared
the depot. The body Of Brown then eisurely and
decently removed, and conveyed to Camden in a sua-
bic vehicle from which it taken TO the place of its
destination.
1t is said, but know Lot with what correctness,
that when beyond the reach of medical students
and conservative men, the body of Brown will be ex-
hibted to the people of the towns through which il is
TO pass.
