in September.
-Non-cencical-th New York is bigger than
Philadelphia.
The heat during the last few days has been
intense. In some places the thermometer was
as high as three paper collars per day.
All this week workmen have been busy
moving large slabs of stone into the new build
| ing of the Tradesmen's National Bank, on Third
| street, below Chestnut Eight horses were all
| that we're required to haul one of these slabs,
and the time required to get it out of the middle
| of the street was sufficient to make string of
cars accumulate long enough to reach square
| or two. The usual delegation of overseers was
| on hand seeing that everything was done right.
The curbstone and street were filed with them
| to the distance of several blocks. They included
newsboys, bootblacks, porters, letter carriers
| brokers, merchants, and all conditions of men
who had or who had not time to spend over
such matters. Those that had not time took it
anyhow for the benefit of the public. The city
is in no danger of accidents while we have such
| self-sacrifcing members OF the community.
| These stones were large enough to hang about
any number of persons necks when it becomes
| necessary to drown them in the depths of the
| sea. Possibly this was what the large delega-
| tion was waiting for. Our first impression on
viewing one of these fragments was that the
| bank directors intend to start downtown op-
position to stone quarry, and retail the article
after buying it in bulk.
The attention of Sister Irene, of the New
York Founding Asylum, is called to the babies
Policemen X and of this city who invited a
person out into the back yard for the purpose
of having head put on him, and of receiving
| pecuniary remedy for damages. Poor little
fellows Couldn't keep their tempers But of
course could hardly expect it from such infants.
