AfIera nnurslerer

On Sunday, officer A. Carprey, of the
Philadelphia police force, came to this
city, in quest of Henry Cooper, col D., who
was charged with causing the death OF
colored woman in PHILADELPHIA, on
Saturday night, by kicking her. Cooper
was formerly residentof this city having
worked in the brick yards here.
The officer called at the police office,
and stated his errand, and in company
with officer Legg they proceeded to the
residence of Cooper's mother on Penn
street above Sixth.
AT first she refused to allow them to
enter the house without warrant,
whereunon Legg sent for Sergeant Wbe-
Ian, and he armed with the necessary
document proceeded to the house.
In the meantime the woman had left
the house for a short time, and when
she returned, went into the house aid
procuring a chair took seat in front
of the house.
When the officers asked her where
Cooper was she told them that when she
went away she left him lying in the
room on settee. The officers then went
in, but after a thorough search of the
premises they found that their bird had
flown, and at the present time his where
abouts is unknown.
He was certainly in the city during
Sunday, as several persons seen him run
ming down the street in his stocking feet,
when the cannon was discharged at
French street wharf in the effort to raise
the body of little Willie Vickers, who
was drowned on Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. jerks Testimony Bad for
John Sherman

John Sherman's testimony before the
Potter committee, and his equvocatian
in answer to the question whether the
letter to Anderson and Weber, a copy of
which Anderson had furnished, was real
ly written by him, have produced very
unfavorable impression regarding him;
and now every impartial person who has
either heard or read the answers of Mrs.
jerks before the committee must feel
that every doubt has been settled in re-
gard to this matter.
1t is true the woman played her part
smartly, but her desperate lying cannot
be of any service to the Secretary of the
Treasury. Indeed, it is perfectly clear
that Mrs. jerks was hired TO take the let
ter upon herself as a forgery of her own,
Sherman havingin the mean while got
possession of the original, probably
through jerks herself, If any further
evidence were necessary respecting the
unworthy part which John Sherman La,
played in this electoral fraud, it is fur
nished in abundance in the shameful
story of his letter

A Hint To All.

MIR. ED1ToR:-I wish to call the atten-
ton of your readers and the Board of
Health to facts that have heretofore been
unobserved. We eulogize the Board of
Health for their untirlng endeaverS in
searching out DuiSanceS that have been
injurious TO the health of our citizens.
They have given us pure water and pro-
per drainage, which is highly necessary
for the health, and existence of man, vet
with all of their labor and Judgment they
have left in our midst. on of the greatest of
deaths dealing agents that has ever been
permitted to eXist,i turks in almost every
household the very staff of our life is inn
pregnated by germs Of dangerous dis
eases caused by its use. We have known
cases of fevers and smallpox to break
out in families where cleanliness has
been practiced to perfection. In these
cases it baffied the wisdom of our best
physicians, to find the cause or origin OF
these diseases. Now l will state what |
bclieve to ] o fact, and common sense
will prove to be true. That flour packed
in old barrels that have been used for all
manner of purposes, hey come from hos.
pitals and almshouses reeking with con.
tagion and sometimes vermin, barrels
that have been used for gathering rubisb
and filth from back yards then sold to
the merchant Tor purpose of packing
flour. BY this means our lives are indian.
gered our health impaired. / think, the
Board of Health should investigate and
make some effort to stop this dangerous
traffic which is of NO benefit either to the
merchant or buyers,give us clean barrels
and work for our many coopers.

TURNING THE TABRES.

For some time past man by the name
of Malone, has been working at the Dia-
mond State Rolling mill, who was form
erly employed at the Pencoyd mills
above Philadelphia. Last summer a
strike occurred at the latter mills, which
was finally adjusted, the men resuming
work in September.
In referring to the strike it is said that
Malone charged man blythe name OF

and called for help. Several of the work
men went TO his assistance, ana soon the
strangers were put TO flight, one of them
being knocked down and severely kicked
in the ribs. The men returned homt

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA sTRUG-
CLING ACROSS THE O0UN-
Ill TABLE.
Austria Throwing Her Infiu-
ence I'm Favor OF Great
Britain.

LONDON, June %, 1877.
The best authorities, such as the Ber-
I'm correspondents of the Times and Post
concur in stating that the Congress will
have sitting to-day. The Times cor
respondent reports that in Mondays sit
ting the right of the Sultan to place on
the Roumelian frontiers whatever num-
ber of troops he deems necessary for Sc
curity was admitted IN principle, but at
the same time Russia proposed q series
of amendments which England refused
to accept. The Congress also fixed nine
months as the term to be allowed Russia
for withdrawing her troops from Eastern
Roumelia and Bulgaria.
1t is generally thought that Russia in
to-day's sitting will, in return for this
concession, Withdraw her amendments,
and that the chief points relative TO Bull
garia will be definitely settled. There IS
evidently a close alliance betv esn Eng
land and Austria, but each naturally
comes most prominently forward on
points involving. its own interests. Thus
the Austrians took no prominent part in
the discussion relative TO garrisoning the
Balkans, but will play first part in the ap-
proaching discussions to the organiza-
tion of Bulgaria.
THE CzAR's MESSENGER.
The correspondent of the Post states
that this subject will be broached to-day.
| The Austrians hesitate to concede Varna
| TO Bulgaria. The British do not seem to
share The Austrian objections. The mes
senger who was recently sent to person.
ally report to the Gar on certain points
raised in the Congress, will return to
Berlin to-day with the answer. All the
| correspondents continue TO describe the
attitude of Lord BeaconAfield as very de-
| cided.
The Times Berlin correspondent re-
ports that Lord Beaconsfield, in conyer-
satlou on Friday with Prince Bismarck,
who urged him to make concessions said
81 did not come here to yield"
| The Times correspondent at Vienna
telegraphs that well informed persons
state that the Russian plenipotentiaries
only agreed to the points as TO Turkeys
rights to fortify the Balkans, &c, ad re-
| Jereudum. But it is confidently hoped
their explanations and the mediating
influence of Germany will succeed IN oh
tanning the desired ratification from St.
Petersburg.
| THE NEW PROVINCE.
The new autonomous province south
| of the Balkans is to be named Eastern
Roumelia, or as it appears in the protocol
Roumelia, Oriental.
A Belgrade despatch states that it is
evident the Russians and Servians are
preparing for the defence of the Kiadoya
and Brza-P Palanka line, which affords a
Il u Il

The Gar of Russia is expected at Ber-
lin soon on his way to Ems.

LETTER OF THE [. 8. TREASURER.
Treasurer Gilfllan last evening mailed the
foil LOTT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26th, 1873.
Genttemen:-l am in receipt, by reference
from the Secretary Of the Treasury, of your
letter OF the 18th instant, in which you refer to
general of the state of New York in a recsnt
oEinion upon the character of the security
afforded by the District of Columbia three
SlXty-fye bonds, and you there make the fol-
lowing inquiries: l. What is the amount of the
issue OF these securities? I'd. Whether they
are exempt from taxation? 81. What pro.
portionate amount is periodically reserved for
the creation of sinking fund?
First. The amount of the bonds in question
which had been issued at the date, when, by
the provisions of the joint resolution of Con
greSs, approved March 14th. 1876, the issue
thereof was suspended, was $l3, ,7I3. 80, and at
this date there has been no change from those
hgureS in the amount outstanding.
Second. The act which authorizes their issue
enacted that the three sixty-tives "shsll be
exempt from taxation by federal, state or
mnnicipal authority, Us statutes, 1909
been set aside for the creation of sinking
fund for the redemption of this loan. The
authorizing act which pledged the faith of the
United States to that end, contemplated that
provision should be made for its ultimate re-
demptlOn; but am not advised that the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia have
taken any steps looking to the creation Of a
sinking fund.
Hereafter, however, all expenditures for the
tion three of the act of June 1lth, 1873, upon
estimates passed upon by the Secretary of the
Treasury, submitted by the Commissioners Of
The District of Columbia, and affirmed by Con
gless: ActIon hereunder cannot, OF course.
be anticipated; yet these estimates may here
after cover an appropr alton to carry out the
pledge made in the act of June 20, 1874, above
referred to. Very respectfully,
