The Chief Justice this morning delivered the fol-
lowing opinion, refusing to the Washington Square
cliuue an injunction TO restrain the erection OF the
public buildings at Penn Square, and thereby de-
stroying their last hope:-
The bill in this case prays an injunction TO re-
strain the defendants, commissioners, from pro-
ceedng under the act appointing them to erect the
public buildings mentioned in the act as 1t is alleged
In the 18th section OF the bill, "they have begun TO
do" The complainants are taxpayers and citizens
OF Philadelphia and interfere because Of the increased
taxes they will, as they allege, be obliged TO pay, II
the buildings are erected. The ground of their ap-
plcatiOn is that the act of Assembly OF August 9th,
isTO under which pubc buildings are authorized TO
be erected by the Commissioners is unconstitutional
ana void Several reasons for this are set forth in
the bill.
The point of unconstItutionality of the act was

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
Presence of Mind Saves a Life


A most singular accident, says the Newark
Advertiser of last evening" occurred yesterday
morning TO Mr.. K. II. Divine, of the firm of
Divine d Harrington, at his residence, No. %
Parkhurst street. In attempting to draw
bucket of water ia well in his rear yard, the
bucket became detached from the chain and fell
to the bottom OF the well, which is nearly thirty
feet deep. To recover it again he tied rope
about the waist of his son. a lad about twelve
years of age, and lowered him cautiously to the
bottom of the well. The lad recovered the
bucket, and Mr. Divine began pulling him out
hand over hand, the rope running through an
opening in the side of the well-house I'm
fortunately, when the lad was within
fifteen feet of the surface, the we'll
house Tipped over upon Mr.. Divine,
carrying him to the ground and covering him
with the debris. Though badly hurt. and una
BILE to extricate himself or make sufficient out
cry to bring assistance, he retained his presence
of mind, and elung firmly to the rope which
held his boy dangling above the jaws of death.
A more trying situation can hardly be imagined,
but he managed after q time to kick away a
portion of the boards and timbers which covered
him, and by exertions which it would seem
almost impossible for to have made under the
circumstances, he finally drew his son safely to
the surface, and then sank down completely
exhausted with the agony of suspense he had
undergone and the bodily suffering he still en-
dured He was soon after removed TO his house,
where Il was found that he had sustained severe
injuries upon his chest, back, aud arms, which
viii be likely to detain him from his business
for some time.

Bismarck BelIicose.
Upon which Prince Bismarck again addressed
the British Government through Count Bern
storf, declaring that the acquisition of Heligo-
land was necessary for the protection of the
German coast, reciting as an instance the facili-
ties for coaling and immunity from attack which
the French feet enjoyed at Heligoland, by which
il was enabled to blockade Hamburg and para
lyze the commerce of the German coast. He
looked upon Heligoland, on account of its close
proximity, as German territory, and its posses
sion by any foreign power as a standing menace
to Germany.
Earl Granville Infiexible.
Earl Granville again replied that England was
only bound to consider her own interests; that
the wish of the German Government to acquire
Heligoland did not constitute her right to it, as
the island had never been under German rule.
The controversy now rests at this stage.

THE GREAT RAILROAD LEASE.

pany met yesterday and elected the following board
of officers president, A. L. Dennis; Treasurer, III.

f. w. Jackson; Secretary and General Passenger
Agent, f. w. Rankin The subject of the lease to
the Pennsylvania Railroad was discussed, and
appears that Of the 10000 shares, owners OF
over $4,000 have approved OF the agreement. Since
it is claimed that only thirds vote is necessary
under the law, the friends OF the lease have thus
secured 5000 shares more than are needed. OF the
Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, holders OF
"a, coo shares have approved out OF the whole num-
ber OF shares, 5S 800. In the haritan and Delaware
Canal Company, the committee have procured sig
natures representing SO. 600 out OF $500 shares
There are now needed 5000 shares from both CON-
panies to make up the required two-thirds VOTE
The assent OF this amount or stock the committee
confident OF obtaining, and 1t is probable that 1t
viii be ootained-by purchase Of the stock, In no
on the other hand, the opponents OF the lease are
making up their delay by attacking the lease in the
courts. The Injunction which has been prepared to
prevent the oficers of mutual board from exc
cutting the lease will probably be served early in the
present week, and both parties will prepare for a
Philadelphia Common Council on Thursday evening,
q resolution was introduced instructing the city
directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad to use
every practicable effort to prevent the proposed
lease and the City Solicitor to adopt legal
measures by Injunction in equity to arrest and
prevent the measure. The resolution was
prefaced by long preamble, averrlng that the con-
Summation OF the lease would necessarily shift the
seaboard point, thereby occasoning vast injury to
the commercial interests OF Philadelphia. The reso-
luton was received with favor and was debated at
length, the speakers favoring the defeat OF the
lease 1t was finally referred to the appropriate
committee 1t is hoped by the friends OF tue lease
who express the greatest contempt for those legal
proceedings-that the proper number Of signatures

in an AudaciOusly Bold Manner.
From the LineUille (Ioiod) Inder
The county seat of this county was visited by
four men on Saturday night who committed
the boldest and most daring robbery ever con-
mitted in the West, robbing Ocobock Brothers
bank of $4,000, at the hour of two o'clock In the
afternoon, and making their escape from a
multitude of men, who had assembled at that
place to hear speech in the interest of the
Mo-, l. and Nebraska Railroad, by Henry Clay
Dean.
For several days previous to the robbery four
strange and suspicious characters had been seen
in and about Corydon, whose business no one
knew. Having heard that Mr.. Dean was to ad-
dress the people of Corydon on Saturday last,
they armed themselves, each with four navy
revovers, and rode to COrydOn taking advan-
tage of the large number of men in town, who
were at that hour collected at the Methodist
Episcopal Church to hear Mr.. Dean, the church
being situated some distance from the square
The robbers rode into town and up to the front
door of the bank. Mr.. Ocobock, the Junior
member of the firm was seated in the back room
of the bank They quietly and coolly approached
him, each presenting revolver, and said:-
''Get up, walk easy don't say d-d word, and
unlock that SAFE" Mr.. Ocobock. approaching
the situation, went to the safe and IL seems found
it difficult TO hit the combination, either through
excitement or from some other cause, when one
of the robbers drew back his revolver and in
commanding voice demanded him to "open that
safe within five seconds" The safe was un-
locked by Mr.. Ocobock, when one of the parties
grabbed for the money and got it, crammed il
into a pair of saddle-bags which they had
brought along for that purpose, and bid the
banker good day." mounting their horses and
dashing through town and right by the church
occupied by at least six hundred men, defantly
iourishing their revolvers, inviting the already
alarmed crowd to 'come on" and yelling at the
top of their voices, "Hurrah for John Wilkes
Booth" and 'Take us if you can" One of
them hourished revolver and informed the
crowd that that was ''the tool that killed Abe
Lincoln" Thus successfully committing their
hellish deed, and making their escape.
The Board of Supervisors of the county is in
session, and has generously offered the liberal
reward of $4,000 for the arrest of the parties,
which we hope will be sufficient incentive to
their capture.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Collision of Trains ON the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad.

Intelligence reached the city last evening of
an accident on the Northwestern Railroad, re-
sulting in the death of one person and the
wounding of two others. The accident occurred
at McEwin's Station, flfty-seven miles from this
place, at half-past 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
At this point passenger and freight train col
lided on account of the conductor on the passen-
ger train mistaking his orders. The most
unfortunate and heart-rending thing connected
with the accident was the killing of Mr.. Post, a
brakeman on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
who was on his way to his home in Woodville,
Alabama. He was standing on the platform at
the time of the accident. A brakeman on the
train, named Condor, had his foot bruised, and
another brakeman named Bonner had his hand
considerably injured, but fortunately no bones
were broken in either case. The pilots, or cow
catchers, were very much damaged. but the
engines were not disabled.-Nashuilie Union.

CAMBRIDGE, June 2s.-To-daY is class day at Har-
vard, the brightest the gayest day that this subur

ing les members, is the largest graduated from
the venerable institution.
The class assembled this morning in front OF Hol.
worthy Hail. at 9'46 O'Clock, and marched thence to
the chapel, where short and simple religious SER
vice conducted by the class chaplain Charles l..
B. Whitney. Then came the breakfast, for which
the class repaired to old Massachusetts Hail. The
members OF the faculty provide this very needful
entertainment. The host this year was Professor
Bowen. Across the street to the small Unitarian
Westinghouse which ia still the most capacious
auditorium that Harvard has at her disposal, the
class marching with a dignifed slowness that
amounted almost to solemnity found 1t as ever
crowded-nay, jammed full OF faculty and femi-
ninity, with few ushers present, who, having dis
charged their full duty by stunning every pew rested
on their laurels and became listeners.

lows:-

minated with Chinese lanterns. The President held
his customary reception during the evening, and
there few who neglected to call and pay their
respects to the lrst college president who ever made
himself thoroughly liked by his Students
But the scene was not less brilliant than on
former years, and If little quieter than it used to
be, it may.have been because there were many more
spreads at the rooms OF the students than ever be-
FORE This luxury, which used to be INDUCED in
only by the more 0pulent seniors, has come to be
very general, and there were few graduates to-day
who did not entertain their friends. One caterer
supplied no less than 2500 plates, which
shows that the class of II is unexam-
pied for feasting as well as num-
bers The exercises around the tree were
somewhat less bosterous than usual and the seniors
did not indulge In such extraordinary and grotesque
raiment as has been habitual on former occasions,
but everything was spiritedly done, and after the
planted, and the juniors embraced each other and
abandoned themselves to the Irritation and con-
VITALITY OF the late hours OF the day. There were
few visitors present OF much prestige or conse-
quence, General Burnside being the only notable
stranger who witnessed the exercises. On the
whole, 1t has been the most notable class-day the
college ever knew.-M Y. World correspondence.

There is a lively demand for loans to-day, and
rates are gradually hardening, especially on
call loans, which are quite active. The banks
are gradually drawing in their lines, but this
fact is no indication of failing funds, under the
present circumstances, as currency is accumu-
latipg in the hands of stock companies pre-
paratory to the July dividends and interests,
which are invariably large, and make the mar
ket look stringent in the interim. The rates to-
day may be fairly quoted at 5@6 per cent. on
call. the latter an exceptional figure; and at
@615 per cent on good paper, which is in only
limited supply.
