After the fifth inning not run was scored

THE COMMON COUNCIL MASS MEETING.
The regular meeting of the Philadelphia
Common Councils took place yesterday.
The opening chorus was given additional
vim by the offering of the following rcsolu-
tion by Mr.. Kaaey:
Resolvsd, That the Committee on Fire
Department ssbe instructed to investigate
the rumor to the effect that members of the
Fire Department have been registered sew
eral times for the purpose Of facilitating
their frcque..t voting.
The offering of this resolution had the
effect of creating consid cradle hubbub,
increased somewhat by the piteous hcwls
from the Republican side Of ths chamber,
where the members indulged in several ex-
clamations sounding very much like "Go
rag your head p "Cheese It I" "Take a
tumble to yourselfw and "Git out ~
At all all eve nts the resolution was laid
upon the table, the vote thereon being a
b"ASU pnASJ Sno' f.. - '.
When the vibration of the atmosphere
caused by the introduction of the pugilistic
resolution, had somewhat subsided, Coun-
cils, very we'll pleased with whit they had
done, concluded to go into Committee of
the Whole for the purpose of considering
the propriety of appropriating a couple of
hundred thousand dollars to q scheme for
the introduction of Belgian pavement in and
around the city of Philadelphia. The men,
bers who favored the passage Of this ordi-
nance, grew eloquent in their praise Of the
excellence of this pavement, but their
flights of Imagination were knocked into q
i" cooked hat !" by the TRADE Of abuse which
they received from Councilman " Ned
Quan," who preferred the asphalt pave
ment, and vociferated pro and con upon the
subject until he was blue in the face. He
declared that the condition Of the streets in
Philadelphia to-day was far worse than
when Columbus dircoverei America and
that Pizarre, in his memorable raid on
Peru, encountered much better roadways
than Philadelphia had ever seen. '' NY 4

Fire Ham p Aceid~nt-Four Men
Burned to Death.


RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 2S.-Yestcrday
morning, about five o'clock, = terrible acct
dent took place At the coal pit known as
Raccoon Pit, of the Clover Hill pits, in
Chesterfield county. Four men were in
stantly killed. The accident was caused by
the explosion ofa body of gas, but how 1t
occurred remains unexplained At present.
1t is the opinion, however, of those familiar
with the pits that it was acci ientally caused
by the gas man, whose name was Davis.
There were only four men in the pit at the
time, and they perished in the conhagration
that resulted from the ignition Of the gas.
The names of the killed are Davis and
Thomas Smith, gas men, and Condrey and
Tutwher, assistants. The miners have been
at work all day to-day looking for the bodies
of the men who perished and they succeeded
this evening in getting them all out; but
they were so terribly burned that they could
not be recognized It was providential that
the accident happened so early in the morn
ing, as large number Of men would have
been in the pit an hour later, and many
more lives would have been lost. 1t will
take several days to get the pit in operation
again. The scene of the accident is eigh-
teen miles from from any telegraph Office
and 1t is impossible now to ascertain further
particulars.

PASSING By.

By THE AUTHOR or ",oas HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN.
"Aud they told him that Jesus of Nazareth
passeth by"
Q rich man, from your happy door,
Seeing the old, the sick, the poor,
Who ask for nothing, scarcely weep,
10 whom even heaven means only sleep;
While you, given good things without meas
Sometimes can hardly sleep for pleasure;
Let not the blessed moment fly,
Jesus OF Nazareth passes by.
Is there sinner, tired of sin,
Longing new life to begin Z
But all the gates Of help are shut,
And all the words of love are mute;
Earth's best joys sere, like burnt.up grass,
And even the very heavens as brass
Turn not away SO pitilessly--
Jesus OF Nazareth passes by,
self-hardehed man, of smooth, bland smile !;
Woman, with heart like desert isle
Set in the sea OF household love,
Whom nothing save "the world can move /;
AT your white lie, your sneering speech,
Your backward thrust no sword can reach,
Look, your child lifts wondering eye
Jesus OF Nazareth passes by.
Oh, ye foolish ones, who feel
sudden doubt, like piercing steele,
When our dead hearts within you burn,
And conscience signs, return, return"
Why let We the sweet impulse fleet,
Loves wave wash back from your tired feet
Knowing not him who came so nigh
Jesus OF Nazareth passing byH
He must not pass Hold him secure
In likeness OF his helpless poor:
VI many sick soul, sin beguilcd;
In innocent face oflittle child;
Clasp him-quite certain it is he
In every form OF misery
And when thou meetest him up ON high,
Be sure he will not pass thee by.
