The most noticeable thing about the platform is
the entire absence of any reference to the financial
question, except far as the general approval OF
tho platform of last year includes reatirmation of
the rather negative and webbing currency resolu-
ton il included For this omission the Convention
is no doubt indebted to Edward Mcpherson. Avari-
ETY. of money resolutions were framed, but none OF
them were satisfactory and he advised giving the
whole subject the go-by, on the ground that the

who believe an immediate return to specie will
further cripple the peculiar industries of Pennsyl
vania. Anything that limited at imitation was not
to be thought Of and resolution affirming coin to
be the only true basis of currency and advocating
postponement of resumption would have plaglarlzed
tho Democratic platform made at Lancaster last
week. in this quandary, silence was the safest
policy
Mr.. Rutan then read the list of delegates.
The net result of the whole affair is that the vote
of Pennsylvania at Cincinnati is put in the keeping
of the Cameron Mackey Ring, to be disposed OF as
they may find for their advantage. large MINOR
ty of the district delegates have decided prefer
ence for Mr. Blaine; but the word appears to have
been passed around already to keep mum az to
choice after Gov. Hartranft is dropped. Meanwhile
the leaders, Mackey, Quay, Cameron, and Rutan talk
Mr.. Bristow probably as blind. Whatever their
private predictions may be, they do not mean to
let them interfere with business, and their business
at Cincinnati will be to secure the Secretaryshp OF
The Treasury for Pennsylvania, or, failing in that,
the next best Cabinet position.

Caroline Moore and Maria Radley, alias
Wilson, both colored, became involved in
difficulty at 4:30 o'clock last evening, on
Peters, between Erato and Thalia streets,
about colored man named Albert Smith.
They both liked him equally vel, but
Maria was, as she alleges, lawfully married to
him, end as matter of course claimed him
as belonging to her and not to Caroline, who
he was in the habit Of calling on very fire.
quently.
They met last Sunday at Maria's house,
where the difficulty had its origin. Maria
accused Caroline with having captured her
better half, which Allegation she denied in
toto, but said that he loved her and it was
impossible to drive him away when he called,
more especially as he was an old friend.
Maria was unarmed at the time, but swore
that she would kill Caroline on sight. They
met yesterday afternoon on the sidewalk near
Marias residence, and as she had said that
she would kill her on sight, Caroline armsd
herself with pocket-knife ready to have
fight, and she did have one when they came
together and came out first best.
Maria sailed forth with good-sizsd knife,
which she displayed before they clinched,
and only managed to inflict two slight
wounds, while Caroline plunged her kettle
fourteen times into the body of her antagon-
ist, iDficting dangerous but not neces-
sarily fatal wonpas. Caroline, after carving
her assailant, walked rapidly down the street,
but before she arrived at the corner of Erato
was collared by peeler, who marched her to
ths Second Precinct Station. The wounded
woman was conveyed to her residence in the
vicinity. and attended by DR.. Beard, who
pronounced the wounds serious but not dan

The first witness called to the stand was
Mr.. Peter Burke, who testified that he was
deputy clerk of the Superior District Court;
that he was authorized to administer oaths,
and that on the 31st day of August, 1876, he
administered to James Wood, the accused, an
oath setting forth that ali the allegations con-
tanned in the petition shown him (the witness)
wee true, and that the accused knew full we'll
what he swore to and what he signed.
Mr.. Joubert, tax collector OF the Second
District, was next sworn. He testified that
the tax on the property described in the petit
ton had never been paid.
Mr.. Victor testified that he was employed
in the Auditors Office; that the records IN the
Auditors Office did not show thst the taxes
on the properly described in the petition had
been paid; that they had not been paid; that
he had released the property described on
Mr.. Wood showing him q receipt that the
taxes had been paid.
Mr.. J. D. Taylor testified that he was EN-.
ployed in the office of the Assistant Attorney
General; that he was present at an interview
between Judge Dibble and tie accused, at
which the accused stated that the taxes on
the property described in the petition had
been paid. and that the receipts were in the
hands Of Mr.. Philli ps, his attorney, who has
since died.
This conversation was held the day previ-
GUS to the fling of the petition now in court
Wood stated that he had payed the taxes
A cross-examina,ion failed to shake this
testimony.
MIR. J. NJ. Conway was the next witness
called, and testified that he was employed in
the Office OF the Recorder of Mortgage in the
capacity of chief deputy. He identified pa
per which Judge Dibble stated he intended to
show was q forged document; that it was
forged by the accused and presented in the
Office of the Recorder Of Mortgages by one
W. F. Durham, acting as the agent Of the &C.
cused.
On motion of Judge Dibble. court adjourned
until to-day at 10 A. NJ, when this Case will

ant has mistaken his remedy. He has his
bonds and judgment upon them, and he has
the right to have tax levied to pay the prin-
cipal upon these bonds; that is the only right
he has, and that right is only to be secured
by tue common law remedy Of mandamus BY

on the bonds of the complainant and others

money from being applied to the payment Of
any other debt OF the city; but must decline
to restrain the city from the reception OF

decline to interfere with the Premium Bond
