buggy belonging to DR.. Turner ran away yester-
day afternoon, at four O'clock, from the corner
OF Eighth and Locust streets. The Doctor had
Just aghted, and was in the act of ringing the
door-bel when the horse took fright from the
noise occasloned by the passing of a city RAIL
road car. He dashed furiously up Locust street,
and brought up at a blacksmith's shop above
Ninth. Here the buggy turned over and the
shafts were broken. The horse was cut about

The LATE JOSIAH RANDALL.-The mem
bers OF the Bar held a meeting yesterday in the
Supreme Court room, for the purpose of tesrify-
ing their respect Tor the late JOSIAH Randall.
Justice Read presided with William l.. Hlrst as
Secretary. Peter Mccall submitted the follow
ing resolutions, and in doing SO paid a high
tribute 10 the worth OF the deceased, both as a
citizen and lawyer, referring especially TO The
earnestness which characterized all his profess
sional efforts:-
ResoiUed That the Bar of Philadelphia have
learned, with profound regret, the decease of
JOSIAH Randall, Esq, one Of their oldest and
most honored members.
ResOUed That the Bar OF Philadelphia will
ever cherish the memory Of their departed
brother, who for more than half a century.
adorned the profession by his learning, his
talents, and his virtues. His attanments, both
in the profession and out OF 1t, were varied and
extensive; his forensic abilities and skill OF a
distinguished order; and his integrity ana pro-
bty of character beyond reprOacn. he pos
sessed, in remarkable degree, those qualities
both of head and heart which command respect,
secure confidence, and attract esteem and friend
ship. The sorrow which we feel on this occa-
sion is shared by the public. In the decease
of Mr.. Randall, Philadelphia mourns the loss
of one OF her best, most influential, and useful
citizens, and the country an honest ana sterling
patriot, whose aspirations were ever ior ms
counuys good.
RESOLVED, That the Bar Of Philadelphia sin
cerely condoe with the family Of the deceased
in their melancholy bereavement.
R6S0lced, That committee Of nine, TO whom

HEARING IN THE CASE OF AN ALLEGED
STEAMBOAT BURNER.-At the Central Station, yes
terday, further hearing was had in the case of
Gilbert Adams, who is charged with cOnspiring
with Washington French and others to burn the
steamship MeteOr, with intent to deiraud certain
insurance companies. Captain j. A. Denny was
the only witness examined. He testified in sub
stance that he was captain of the Meteor. which
was owned, so far as he knew, by Gilbert Adams,
Michael Henly, and o. w. Davis. The fire took
place at Chester, on the 18th of November last.
Witness had had a conversation with defendant
(Adamsl at the Continental Hotel in this city.
The conversations in reference to the burning
OF the steamer were with French, who wanted
him to do it, but be declined, and SAID he would
not have anything TO do with 1t. The arrange
ment was made with Samuel Denny, brother of
witness, but the Captain did not know when it
was TO be DONE nor where. After the burning
an interview took place between Captain Denny
and Washington French. in which the latter
said that the lob was well done. The steamer
was entirely destroyed as she lay at Weidner's
wharf, Chester, and the Captain had gone ashore
before the fire broke out.
In respect to the compensation for setting the
vessel on fire, witness said that no sum was
named. He had gone to New York, at the
instance of Mr.. Adams, to see about the insur.
ance, and there said he did not know how the
boat was destroyed He had since made diff
ferent statement in this city to Mr.. Cuyler. In
answer to questions by defendants counsel, he
admitted that he had called at the Girard House
Yesterday morning to see Mr.. Adams and wife,
but said that the former was not in. He, no W
ever, met him subsequently in the street, aud
Mr.. Adams said he would like to see him after
the hearing, as he did not suppose he ought to
talk to him then.
Mr.. Cuyler was called on by the counsel for
Mr.. Adams to produce an affidavit made by
the witness short time ago, but declined,
as he had taken il as counsel for one OF the in-
surance companies, ano il was his own private
property
In consequence of the absence of Samuel
Denny. the Captains brother, with whom
the arrangements were made, as alleged, to
ire the boat, and other material Witnesses
the hearing was continued over until Monday
next.
