A few mornings ago some ehildren
discovered a small kitten perched on ton
OF telegraph pole at Third and Parrish
streets, mewing piteously and evidently
afraid to attempt descent. Ali the
morning she remained on her perilous
perch, bat at noon a sympathetic lady
living on the corner invented plan Of
relief: She applied two clothes props
together, and by placing them out Of her
third story window rested one end on the
top OF the telegraph pole. Kitty cautious

paw and then the other, after which she
stepped lightly across until she reached
the window, when she sprang Joyfully in.

Found Npcosssiosss.

esterday afternoon officer Neal
gibbons while walking along Front
street between West and Washing tor,
found a young man lying on the pave
ment, as he supposed helplessly d trunk.
Summoning a furniture cal the man
was placed In it, and taken to the City
Hal, and locked upin one of the cells,
SUN remaining unconscious. About an
nour afterwards the same officer visi-
ted the cell and found the man in the
same condition all efforts to arouse
MIN proving futile. Thinking com
thlng was the matter DR.. Ogle, was
summoned, and pronounced the man
TO be sick. Word was then sent To
Thomas johnson, Esq, chairman of
the Hospital Committee, who upon ar
riving at the hall, summoned the
Water Witch wagon, and had the un-
conscious man conveyed to the Hospi-
tai. Drs. Ogle and Shortledge were
summoned to attend and in compan
with Mr.. Johnson, remained with the
man until 10 o'clock, in the evening
doing everything in their power to al
leYiate the suffering of the stricken
man.
This morning Mr.. johnson received
letter from the Superintendent O.
the Hospital stating that the patient
was better but had suffered. intensel,
all night, and at one time was so will,
that help had to be summoned to helt
him in bed.
1t was learned from the incoherent
muterings ofthe man that his nam,
was John II. Mitchell, but his resi-
dence is unknown.
Great praise is due Mr.. johnson 70
his prJmptness in having the man con
veyed to the Hospital, and remaininl
with him so late. The physicians il
charge pronounce his sickness as ep
lleptic Ats, bordering ON congestion
OF the brain.

EIGHT CHILDREN POISONED.

MAUcH CHUNK, March 9.-Particulars
of sad case of poisoning, which occurred
at the little mining town of Stockton,
about fifteen miles from here, on Mon
day, have just been developed. On the
day named Mrs. Bevans went out to
obtain work or assistance for her family,
who were suffering with hunger, leaving
her three children, aged 2, 4, and years,
alone. While she was gone the little
ones went out to a swamp some distance
from the house, where they dug up
white root-probably wild parsnip-and
ate it. They were Joined by three child
dren of Mr.. Davis, and two of Mr.. Jones,
neighbors of the Bevans, and all partook
of the root. In a short time they were
seized with violent convulsions, and
were found by boy named Johns, who
heard fearful cries coming from the
swamp. Milie Bevans, aged 2; Gussie
Jones, aged 6, and Mary Davis, aged 2,
were dead. The others were rolling in
agony on the ground. The boy procured
aid, and the children were conveyed to
their homes, A doctor was summoned,
and the children were treated with anti
dotes. Hopes are entertained of their
recovery.

Fall of q Flre- Story Building

NEW DIRK, March 9.-At 10 o'clock
last night the five-story brick warehouse
Nos. 341 and 343 Washington street, fell
in with.a tremendous crash, shaking the
ground like an earthquake, and startling
the entire neighborhood. Only one per-
son, fortunately, is known to have been
injured; but it is within the range OF
possibility that others are buried beneath
the ruins. The building, large whole
sale grocery store, was occupied by Hen
ry Welsh. No. 339, two.and-a-half
story frame building, used as produce
store by G. Fl. Brewster, was partly de-
molished by the fall of the gable of the
adjoining building upon it The second
story Of this building was occupied by
Abraham Decker and family as resi-
dence. Abraham, his wife and eight
children were asleep in their rooms. but
none of them were hurt, and they were
rescued through the roof of the house.
Robert Morson, baker, who slept in the
attic, was wedged in by the falling tim
bers. he was, however, rescued, but is
very badly wounded about the head and
chest. The loss will aggregate $4,000.

WHITE, BLUE AND RED FLAGS.

At the meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday, President Weidman read
from the column of "varieties" in the
Philadelphia Ledger that ''Reading has
smallpox, scarlet fever and diptheria,
and the several diseases are spreading so
rapidly that the authorities require flag
to be displayed in front of every residence
in which are cases of either-a white
flag for diptheria, blue flag for scarlet
fever, and red flag to devote smallpox.
This, the President remarked, is not
correct, as white and blue. flags are not
displayed. There is no occasion. There
are very few cases Of scarlatina and only
six cases of diptheria this year. The au-
thor of that article should be dealt with
very severely.
Mr.. Breneiser thought the Ledger
would make a proper correction.Iif writ
ten to by the Secretary of the Board. An
other memberasked, smiling, "Can't we

POLICE CoURT.-This morning before
Mayor Whiteley at the police court, Capt
Gallagher was arraigned on the charge of
assulting John Gill. From the testimony
of Mr.. Gill it appears that he was dis
charged on last Monday and yesterday
he went up to the Office after his money,
and that there was one day short in the
amount. He informed Mr.. Hayes of the
mistake who promised to have the matter
attended to. Meantime Mr.. Gallagher
came in aud Gill called him thief. and
said that he would make things shot for
him."
Mr.. Gallagher then opened the door
and put him out.
The Mayor stated to Gill that he had a
perfect right to ask for his money but
had no right to insult Mr.. Gallagher, and
if he had came to his house and insulted
him he would not have got off so easily.
He would therefore dismiss Mr.. Gallagh-
er.
Two drunks completed the record.

Wilmington Conference .

Rev: j. b. Quigg, Presiding Elder of
the wilmington district, made his annual
report on the condition ofthe work in bis
district. lie stated that they had been
piessed with gracious revivals in many of
the forty-eight churches constituting his
district, and that the work was GENERALLY
In fair condition. The increase in MEM
bership in the last five years had been
about 5000 members or at the rate Of
l,OOO year, though it was not up to this
average the past year. The Sunday
Schooi work he also reported as in a
favorable condition. The collections for
the Conference Academy, al Dover, are
NOT so liberal as they should be. The
whole church is unanimously on the side
OF the temperance cause, and is heartily
cooperating in the work of suppressine
the enormous evil of rum selling,
In relation to the WESLEYAN Female
College he stated that it has properv
worth $50, ,O00-has 104 pupils in regular
attendance and is getting on moderately
well, though it is carrying debt of S21,-
0OO. This was followed by the examina-
tion OF the character of the Elders, each
whom, after his character was passed
announced the amount of the missionary
collection for the year. In this district,
these collections were generally up TO the
standard, and some Of them reported a
considerable increase. The Bishop from
the chair complimented the Presiding
Elder and the preachers for their good
work in behalf of this great cause.
DIR. Matlack, of the Book Committee,
reported that the condition and prospects
OF the Book Concern are excellent and
that it is conducted on good business
principles. He stated the accounts thus:

THE final success of Hayes will not create
much bitter feeling in the breasts of the nom
office-seeking Democrats, because they are
utterly disgusted with the dishonorable and
corrupt conduct of Tilden as revealed in the
Oregon business. Millions of Democrats feel
that if he were counted in he would be dis
grace to the country. A candidate who un-
dertakes to buy Electoral votes is an unfit
man for Chief Magistrate of the American
people. Never before, since the Republic was
founded, did candidate for the Presidency
undertake to purchase his way into the Ex-
ecutive Chair. Bribery has heretofore been
left to pot-house politicians and professional
corruptionsts. Tilden has depended on
money for his nomination, for his canvass for
popular votes, and for his count-in in the
Electoral College; but his almighty Dollar,
failed him in the end.
