THIRD EDITION
The Pennsylvania Election.

HARRISBURG, October 29.-In explanation
OF the delay in publishing the official returns
entire of the State at the late election, 1t is due
to the Secretary of the Commonwealth to explain
that several counties have not made their re-
turns, because the return judges thereof have
adjourned over TO the 26th instant, the period
fixed for receiving the returns of the vote in the
army. Such return judges have been instructed
by the proper officers here, that they can make
a return of the home vote before they receive
the soldiers vote, which latter returns can be
made, as is provided by law, separately and
afterwards.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, OF SOL
ders, citizens of Pennsylvania, who are still in
the military service of the Government, whose
votes may give a different aspect to close results
in localities, and affect the decision of many
wagers on the election involving large sums Of
money.
After an absence oil several davs in New York,
Governor Curtin returned to the capital last
night.

Pursuit of an English Murderer.
HANDSOME REWARD TO THE MErRopoLrl

HANDSOME REWARD TO THE METROPOLITAN
POLICE
This morning superintendent Kennedy re.
ceived ninety-hve pounds steriEg. which had
been transmitted to him by the EXchequer De-
partment of the British Government, through
Major j. j. Greghead, constable OF the borough
of Liverpool, as a reward for the apprehension
ol a wife-murderer named Robert Reid, by the
Metropolitan Police.
The pursuit OF this murderer is interesting, as
illustrating the persistency with which the Eng
lish authorities pursue murderers. On the 4th
OF December, 1852, travelling tinker named
Robert Reid killed his wife Anna at a village
near Liverpool. The murderer fled to Liverpool,
and then shipped for New York.
An accurate desert otlon of Reid was obtained
and sent TO this country, together with an offer
of q reward of one hundred pounds sterling for
his arrest. On arriving in this city, Reid shipped
in the navy, and his whereabouts could not be
ascertalned.
After his discharge he returned to this city to
live, and on the 14th OF June, 1866, officer John
Donaghy, OF the Twenty-eehth Precinct, in.
formed Superintendent Kennedy that he knew
where Reid could be found. Mr.. Kennedy i'm
mediately communicated with the Liverpool
authorities, and Detective Marsden, of that city,
came to New York, reaching here on the 10th
oil August last. The officer brought with him a
woman who saw Reid kill his wife. This was
tor the purpose of identifying the prisoner.
On the arrival of the Liverpool officer, Cap
tain John +. Dickson aud Officer Donaghy, OF
the Twenty eighth Precinct, were directed to
arrest Reid. They learned that the man had
attended picnic day or two before, and was
at that time confined in the Kings County Jail
en- charge of drunkenness. On the 18th oi
August Reid was taken from the jail and sent
to police headquarters, where he was identified
by the woman. The necessary papers were OBJ
tanned from Washington, aud on the 25th o
August Reid sailed for England in charge of the
officer.
The arrest having been made known to the
British Government, steps were at once taken
to pay the reward offered at the time the crime
was committed. Five pounds were given to
the woman who identified the accused. and
the remaining ninety-fve pounds to the officer
| of the latter sum goes to the Police Lite In.
! suTance Fund, and the remainder will be di.
vided between the officers who arrested Reid

Broad street, will be handsome, wellighted
foyer, 20 by II feet, with a height of 80 fee.
The foyer Will contain the library OF the So
ciety, and will also be neatly arranged for their
regular meetings, and for parlor concerts and
similar enter rtainments.
The main hall will be one of the largest and
most attractive in the city. The stage will
have an elevation of five feet above the main
floor, and being seventy-one feet deep by thirty
one feet n width, 1t will afford accommoda-
tons for about two hundred chorus singers, in
addition to the orchestra and other necessary
accompaniments. 1t Will be fianked by orna'
mental columns and proscenium boxes, leaving
an opening of lorty-two feet for the curtain. Aa
On level with the foyer, and extending
around three sides of the main hall, Will be
narrow gallery, resting on handsome brackets
and having starways descending TO the main
floor at the west end. 1t will afford sitting room
for FIVE hundred persons, making total capacity
in the malu hail for full two thousand spectators
This gallery will be similar to the one in the
upper saloon of the old Chinese Museum.
During the exhibitions Of the Society, balls, etc.
the seats will be removed, thus ahordrng de-
lightful accommodations for prom enading.
The ceiling OF the main hall will be 90 feet in
height. In its construction the greatest atten-
ton Will be devoted to the end OF securing the
best musical effects attainable. The walls will
be elegantly frescoed, and all the interior deco
rations and upholstering will be arranged with
the view OF aiding the effect OF this.
As the entire capacity Of the hall win be
ample for three thousand persons, great atten-
ton will be paid TO the securing of sufficient
strength, light, and ventilation, and more par
tic1larly to means of exit in case of fire or
sudden panic. To secure this latter object
there Will be two doorways on Westmoreland
street, and two others on the north side of the
building, in addition 10 the main entrance on
Broad street. All these doors will be made to
open outwards
Such will be the new hall which will soon
grace our city. And it will surely be an institu-
ton of which we may well be proud. That the
propIietors will be amply remunerated for their
great outlay in its construction is already
proved, by the fact that numerous applications
for leasing it at a liberal rate are already on
file. But few shares of the stock remain
unsold, and it is hoped that the public spirit OF
