SAFE BLOWN OPEN.-On the night
of the 1st inst, the safe OF Parker &
Vierhof, at Grandview, was blown
open with powder By some burglars
who had entered the room By meaus
ola window. which they succeeded in
opening. The noise awakened the
nearest %neighbors, who at once start
ed for the purpose of capturing the
r%ascals, but hearing the noise made
by the neighbors, the burglars sue
ceeded in making their escape.
There was, however, no money in the
safe, and had the scoundrels succeed
ed In riding it of its contents, they
would have been poorly paid for their
trouble. An opening in the safe in
which the powder was placed, was
made By means Of a common dirt
pick. It is great pity the burglars
were not captured.

night, a woman, called French Bar

part of the city, hailed the driver Of
Que of the street cars, in the middle of
a square, and wanted him to stop
for her. Not needing her call till he
arrived at a street crossing, she be-
came very Indignant, and INDUCED in
curses loud aud long. She drew a
revolver and threatened to shoot, but
was prevented from doing so by a
police officer, who arrested and lodged
her in the city prison She vii have
an opportunity Of appearing before
the Recorder to-day.

RECORDERS COURT.-The Recorder
had quite a busy, but Improbable,
day Of business on Saturday. First
appeared Jacob Scheer, who, out of
sheer negligence, allowed the police
to gobble" him for a 81 drunk. which
amount, with s. % costs were assessed
up against him.
Antonio Undertook, In defiance of
the law, made his appearance on the
street, drunk, and as a consequence,
became disorderly. He was fined 81
Costs, 81 50.
Jesse Arnold appeared also, on a
81 drunk; cost So 20. Rather dear
for a little fun.
A woman, whose name we did not
learn, and who complained that her
husband had acted very badly at
home, had broken up the furniture,
the dishes &c, and withal while in a
state Of in%toxioation, made himself
very disagreeable, was advised to 20
home and heal all family difficulties,
and keep out Of Court if she could.
Sensible.
John Kelly appeared on charge of
drunkenness. On examination, it
appeared that his was not a common,
nor yet an ordinary DRUNK, but be-
tween the two classes, hence a com
promise was effected on g fine cost,

versation. They returned to the city
late in the evening, feeling, no doubt,
the better prepared for the arduous
.abors Of the week.

OPERA To-NIGHr.-The Opera
Gar and Carpenter win be repeated
tonight, on which occasion Prof.
Matthias will take a benefit. One who
knows him well speaks thus: Prof.
Matthias, to whose skill and good
taste the public are indebted for
many musical treats, was for several
years a professional teacher ia Ger
many, where he enjoyed no mean
reputation as an organist. He ex-
changed his Fatberland for a ooun-
try more congenial to his views of
freedom, aud 10 which his genius
could have greater scope. It is not a
small compliment to say he has given
birth to some very beautiful pieces of
music, several Of which have become
standard 10 the country. 1t will be
an u~ngrateful public if Turner Hall
is not filed to its capacity upon the
evening Of the benefit given in his
honor"

CIRCUIT CoURT.-The case Of Han
ma VS.. Ruston, of which mention was

eluded on Saturday. AS was stated
before, this was a suit brought to re-
cover a sum Of money, alleged to be

furnished the defendant by the plain
tiff. but which the defendant refused
to pay for, on the ground that the bag
was damaged. The jury returned a
verdict of S65 for the plaintiff.
The case of the Deputy Clerk, on
an indictment for extortion, was next

.eral witnesses were examined. and

sisted Of making a transcript of Court

tended that a charge of SO too
much had been made. This case

ACCIDENTAL accident occurred at
a horse race, on Saturday, at the race
track just beyond the corporation,
that came near being attended with
serious results. A drunken fellow,
from the country, on his return home,
drove a span Of horses, attached to a
wagon, at a high speed, through a
crowd Of spectators at the race track.
Many barely escaped with their lives,
while the wheels of the wagon came
in contact with one Of the hind wheels
Of a buggy in which a gentleman wa
sitting, breaking it IN pieces instantly.
The gentleman who was sitting in the
buggy, was thrown back in the direc-
ton Of the passing wagon, and barely
escaped having his head caught under
the wheels of the wagon, which, if it
had occurred, would, no doubt. have
resulted in his death. Some officers
at once mounted horses aud followed
the man, arresting him and returning
him to the city. His case will be
heard in a day or two. Such conduct
deserves severe punishment.

in forwarding the under and over ground rail-
ways; and in all the needed improvements
which will keep our population on the island
to assist in paying taxes. With our entire
population on the ground, no future Depew
can deplete our census. Mr.. Hall can do much
in advancing all these measures, and thus in
advancing the growth and prosperity of the
metropolis.
But these things imply concentration aud
work. Mr. Hall will have no time to devote
to the editorship of small weekly papers,
which are no credit to the city, certainly none
to Mayor, and which rely for charity and
support upon city advertising, just as the
anti. Siavery Standard holds out its hands and
its basket to Africa for cold boilei chickens.
Mr.. Hall must abandon puns and pantomime,
and leave conundrums to Anne Dickinson and
the Bryants. "Humpty- -Dumpty" will do
well enough for a District Attorney, but
Mayor should turn his talents and energy to
higher efforts. Poor puns must give place to
purity in the party, and small papers 10 great
works. The World and the Democrats who
elected Mr.. Hall expect him to assist them in
making this city as much a mo1el in political
management as it is superior to the rural
regions in educational advantages. II Mr..
Hall is as wise as he is reputed to be witty, he
will heed these words.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-12-04
Our MayOr.Elect,
From the ". Y. World.

From the ~ r World.
Now that the World and the Democrats who
read and are influenced by the World have
elected Mr.. A. Oakley Hall as Mayor of this
city for the coming year, and as we are thus
directly responsible for Mr.. Hall and his Off
cial conduct, the Mayor-elect must understand
that he is thus put upon his very best beha-
vior, unless he would compromise us as we'll
as himself. We candidly say at the outset
that Mr.. Hall will bring to the Office many
qualities that admirably fit him for the posi-
tiOn, or we certainly should not have sup
ported and elected him. He is a man of vast
versatility, and his previous occupations have
given him all insight into the needs and con-
Germs OF the whole city. We expect that he
will put this experience to practical use. For
what we have done for him We reasonably
look for something in return, and as We are
responsible for Mr.. Hall, we trust that he will
feel the full responsibility of both the position
in which we have placed him and the position
in which he places us.
To begin, them Now that the election is
over there can be no harm in stating that the
city owes the rascally radical commissions
which hamper and fairly fetter us to no one
man more than to A. Oakley Hall. He did his
best to bring these locusts upon us to eat up
our substance. 10 be sure, it was in the days
when he was an old line or other line Wing;
but the sins of youth can be repented in age,
and if Mr.. Hall will but display One-half the
energy in getting rid of the commissions that
he did in creating them, he will do something
in the way OF stonement for the past.
Next, Mr.. Hall must keep sharp eye upon
the frauds which the radicals with little basis
but with great effect charge upon the Demo
cracy of the city. The new Mayor must un-
derstand that every job which comes up in
the City Council is not merely an assault upon
the treasury, but an attack upon the Demo-
cratic party. The politics and the party which
pIeponderate in this city must be preserved
in their purity. The monopoly of fraud
should be left to the commissions, the revenue
collectors, the assessors, and the radical
Federal officials generally. The whole eoun-
try looks to New York for the standard of
Democratic purity, and in the past it has not
looked in vain; the future of the Democratic
party throughout the country depends npon
the preservation Of this purity, and Mayor
elect Hall must see to 1t that none of his
friends or his enemies are permitted to sully
that purity. The World and the good oti-
zens who elected Mr.. Hall will stand by him
in his war against corruption in any form or
from any quarter.
In his new position Mr. Hall can help us to
get rid of the corrupt commissions; he can do
something towards giving us clean streets; he
can assist in devising new system of wharves
and piers; he can push forward the bridge
schemes to Brooklyn and HobOBen; he can aid
