THE TROPHIES.

The Police Officers Pursue Bank Burglars,
and Capture their Tools.
This morning the police officers who had pur-
sued the suspicious burglars up to Bridesburg
with o dilatoriness not at all remarkable-the
particulars of which pursuit will be found on
our third page-arriYed at the Mayors ofnce,
loaded with the tools which the rascals had
dropped 70 facilitate their escape. This arrival
caused sensation that was considerably height
ened by the formal manner In which the tro-
phies were spread upon the Brussels carpet of
the Mayors sanctum. This having been done,
our reporter made careful inventory of the
captured articles, to wilt

Presbyterian Church was completely packed
last evening, the occasion being the installation
of the Rev. DR.. Harper, of Indianapolis, as
pastor. The services were under the auspices
of the Central Presbytery of Philadelphia,
within the bounds of which the North Broad
Street Church is located. Rev. DIR. Adams, the
first pastor of this church, made the opening
prayer, Rev. Frank L. Robbins preached the
sermon, Rev. Mr. Work put the usual questions
to the pastor elect and people, Rev. b. L. Agnew
delivered the charge to the pastor, Rev. DIR.
Willis the charge to the congregation, aud Rev.
DR.. Henry made the closing prayer. through
out the services were impressive, instructive,
and highly suggestive and entertaining, and
the vast audience appeared to be deeply inter-
ested. It is rarely, on Installation occasions,
for the varied duties required as we noted last
evening" and we doubt whether the different
parts were, collectively, ever performed with
Since Rev. Dr. Harper accepted the call to
this popular church, the pew rentals have in
creased upwards of three thousand dollars, and
at present aggregate nearly $4,000. The congre-
cation have given their newipastora warm recep-

himself hearty welcome. From the reputa-
tion of DR.. Harper in the West, it is but fair to
predict that the North Broad Street Church will
prosper under his ministry.

lives in Frankford, and he is known to have
boasted that he could 'clean out the whole
police force of Philadelphia This extreme
longing to put n head on somebody induced him
nine months ago to assault Lieutenant McLees,
of the Frankford district, and for which ofense
he was sent to prison. He got out again, and
last night he was drunk in the main street of
Frankford. The sight of Police Officers Nc
Ginnis and Cox Immediately aroused his ire, and
he proceeded for those officials forthwith. He
took Cox by the throat and administered a
vigorous kick, and, dropping him, rushed at
McGinnis to repeat the operation. Both officers
fell upon and secured him, and Alderman
Stearne has held him in $500 to answer.
DARING ACT OF REORGANIZATION. George

to get into a carriage, which was driven ra
