TRouBLEs OF SrREET RAILROAD Con-
DucroR.-Ycstcrday afternoon msn, ap-
parently q respectable mechanic, got into
one of the Avenue cars at the corner OF
Tenth street and rendered 10 the conductor
as payment for his fare q transfer ticket.
The conductor refused Il on the ground that
he did not get In at the junction. The man
refused TO pay, and the conductor, no doubt
satisfied that the job was too much for him,
called on his driver for assistance TO put him
of the car. This was refused by the driver,
who would not interfere. As there was no
policeman In sight, the car continued Its
Journey 10 Georgetown, the passenger still
comfortably seated.
Al The corner Of Fifteenth street and Penn
sylyania avenue policeman appeared, and
10 him the conductor appealed, but the NJ.
p. couldn't sec where he had Jurisdiction,
and so the passenger continued quietly In
gers evidently sympathizcd with their recu-
SAINT fellow traveller, which fact apparently
"riled" the conductor "muchly." The man
claimed that he "knew he was right and he
wanted TO sec the man who would put him
or" The railroad company officials, II Is
we'll known, decline TO receive n transfer
from . passenger except he or she get on the
cars at the junction. Several affairs Of this
kind have occurred on account Of the rule.

MEssRs. FARREL, HERRING & Co.,
No. $50 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
Gents:-A persistent but unsuccessful EFFORT was
made on the night OF May 20, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you few month ago
From facts that have come to our knowledge it is
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
1t useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock The hammerng was heard by parties in the
neghborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing defective
rail, excited no alarm The tools, with the exception
OF the drills, were left 1t Is evident that they were
not only prepared but perfectly familiar with the
construction OF your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
Bankers Chests are what you claim for them, Bur-
glar-Proof.

HAS THE MAYOR GONE FzSHzNGr

A FEW years ago, when Mayor McMichael
went fishing in preference to remaining at his
post to do the official honors to the Chief
Magistracy of the nation, as represented in
the person of Andrew Johnson, tremendous
outcry was raised by the Democracy. The
Mayor was assured that it was his duty to sink
politics on such an occasion-to forget that
Andy johnson was traitor to his principles
and blackguard in his manners, and to re-
member only that his Office was entitled to
honor. The Mayor was ridiculed abused,
and held up to contempt for his lack of
courtesy; but Mr.. Johnsons performance in
this city, and the subsequent disgraceful ex-
hibitions that he made of himself when
swinging round the circle, more than JUS
titled Mayor McMichael in declining to receive
him on behalf of the loyal and decent citizens
of Philadelphia.
We were assured, however, that when the
Democracy got into power such things would
not be, and Mayor Fox was elected under
pledges to carry out reforms that were needed
in our city government. We will give Mr..
Fox the credit of having done number of
good things since he has been in Office, and
he has done nothing better than the issuing
of an order, through Chief Mulholland,
week or two ago, forbidding in the most posi-
tive terms, under penalty of dismissal, any
member Of the police force from meddling in
politics in any shape whatever Now, did the
Mayor really intend to enforce this order, or
was it merely intended to blind the eyes of
our citizens, and to gain him a credit that he
did not deserVeS 1t certainly looks
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-06-30

as though the latter was the
case, for just as the Democratic
conventions were coming off, and the services
of the policemen we're needed by the political
managers, the Mayor found it convenient to
leave town for day or two. Whether he has
gone fishing or not is q question, but it is
certain that he has managed to get out of the
way, 80 that he could not interfere until the
conventions had concluded their business.
We accordingly find that no pretense whatever
was made on the part of the policemen to obey
the very proper order of the Chief of Police,
and that gentleman made no effort to enforce
it. In direct violation of the order, the po-
hcemen in all sections of the city oficiated at
the polls, ran for delegates, and participated
in the conventions as the most active among
the eshoulder-hitters and demagogues who re-
presented the Democracy of Philadelphia yes
terday.
Mayor McMichael's offense, when the worst
that can be said about it has been said, was
but breach of official courtesy; and it is
certain that there were extenuating circum-
stances that would excuse the offense if it
were of even greater moment. Mayor Fox
does not stand in the same position: he has
made a pretense of instituting reforms for
which he has obtained credit from all parties,
and for him to leave the city just when his
presence was most needed for the purpose of
strictly enforcing his own regulations, was a
breach of official duty for. which there can be
no excuse. Mr.. Fox is very worthy gentle
man, and he has apparently labored to manage
his Office in a proper manner but absence at
tlSra oil aIxy hat ba 10
not his own master; and that, whether he
wishes it or not, he is forced, openly or Sc
cretly to aid the ''ring" of Democratic poll
ticians who are endeavoring to obtain the
control of the public Offices 1t will be
curious to note what action he will take in
regard to the fragrant violation of his order
by the policemen, when he returns from his
fishing excursion.

Philip PhiIliDs.

Philip Phillips.
This well known christian vocalist
will sing at Webb's Hall on this We'd
nesday evening, for the benefit of the
NJ. E. Sunday School. Admission 90
cents, children % cents.
We extract the following in regard
to Mr.. Phillips musical abilities from
Sunshine and Shadow IN NetU YORK
Mr.. Phillips has a peculiar gift OF
song, and his whole makeup aids
him in the work to which he has de-
voted himself. He is small in stature
and fragile in build. He has dark
hair, a sharp eye, his face is pale, and
his whole eountenance bears the eX-
preston that the old painters like to
catch when they put on canvas the
face of n recluSe who had devoted
himself to Christ and good works.
His is a blended air of benevolence,
conservation, and sincere piety. His
heart is so evidently in his work, the
warm hearted Christian man, and not
the artist, is so clearly before the au-
dience, that he wins their sympathy
DGAOAC IO cAnES lClGs hGAC FuCA
an entire freedomlfrom can't and afec-
ton, he is so hearty and whole-souled,
that he puts himself at once in SYM
pathy with every n in the house.
Children love him, and old age would
take him to its arms. His counte-
nance is transparent, and on it is
written every phase of song. Love,
hope, faith, joy, fear, sympathy, sor-
row, afhictiOn, trouble and triumph,
are read on his face. His voice is clear
and musical. 1t sweeps from the low
est bass to the highest register. In a
tender, pathetic song, its soft, low,
and sweet tones. which can scarcely
be heard, captivate; then it sweeps
along till it rattles like musketry, and
breaks on the ear like the discharge of
cannon. IL is full of those plaintive
minor tones that ravish and linger,
and that you never hear so much but
that you wish to hear more. Other
have voices as sonorous and
others have faces as expressive,
hearts as full of love to the Savior,
~consecrated themselves as entire
~ to the service of religion but men
are few who combine all these great
gifts and rare attainments.
Whether he sings in the Academy
of Music, the Halls of Congress at
Washington, or in our largest church
es, in any section of the country, his
audience is limited only by the capac-
of the house.
