II is remarked especially that the Liberal

The Liberals never expected to expel Lord

AND SAVE COUNCIL THE TROUBLE OF
SELECTING CHIEF AND ASSISTANT
ENGINEERS OF THE FIRE DEPART
MENT.
The volunteer firemen of Whining
ton turned out, last night, and with
surprising unanimity, elected Chief
Engineer and two Assistant Engineers
of the Fire Department to serve for
the ensuing two years. The ticket
chosen was that nominated by the
Convention held last week, by he
Water Witch, Fame Hose, Friendship,
Reliance and Weccacoe Companies, and
is as follows:
Chief ngineer-Samuel G.. Taze-
well, of the Water Witch.
First Assistant-Charles Lukens, of
the Weccacoe.
Second Assistant-John ii. Hubert,
Of the Fame Hose.
During the past few days strenuous
efforts were made by some members of
the department to break the combina-
ton formed for the support of this
ticket and as far as the Reliance was
concerned they well-nigh succeeded
The Washington members however,
came to the relief of Tazewell by
pledging him their votes, which assur-
ed his election, even if the detection of
the Reliance was accomplished. This
practically settled the election Of Chief
Engineer in advance.
For Assistant Engineers the Con-
vention nominees had a close shave
The loss of one company would have
been fatal, and they received only four
majority in the Reliance Company
Tazewell could have spared the Reli-
ance, as he had the vole of the Wash
ington to take its place, but the AS
sisIants needed it to give them the
vote of the five companies necessary to
a choice. However, they managed to
pull through, and members of Council
will breathe sigh of relief at their es-
cape from the annoyance and button
holing that would have been their lot
had the election been thrown into their
hands.
In the Reliance house, last evening,
James Meekam, of that company, was
put forward as candidate for Chief
Engineer, and received fourl cen votes.
This action WAS taken in order that he
might be a candidate before Council,
in case the election was thrown into
that body. Joseph Cash, of the Reli-
ance, received the vote of three COM
panies for First Assistant Engineer,
and VIM. McFadden, of the Washing
ton, received the votes of two COM
panies for Second Assistant. For the
same position John McCaf,rey, of the
Water Witch, received the vote of the
Delaware. The full table Of votes
cast is as follows:

THREATENING TO BURN BARNS AND
POISON CATTLE IN CHESTER COUNTY.
Thieves broke into Harmony school
house, Honeybrook township, Chester
county, and carried of the Bible from
the hall and nailed it up against a tree
some distance Oft. They also posted
notice to the effect that If the Horse
Company, that have been taking great
deal of interest IL ferreting out the gang
ever met again, they would either burn
their barns, or poison their stock when
they should be turned out TO pasture !;
that that the "Gap Gang" lasted for a
long time, and it hadn't been for -
negroes 1t would have been IN
existence to this day. They also took
a horse from the stable of James Robin
son, near by, and rode the animal
short distance off to fool the company.
The riders were called together, but the
herse was discovered before they had
started on tue search. Honeybrook and
adjoining to townsh,ps will be in a worse
state of agitation than they were "when
the "Gap Gang" were in existence.
Barns have been burned by them, stock
have been poisoned; two horses, with
wagob and harness have lately been
driven of and never beet traced out of
the township, and robbie ries of pretty
sort are nightly occurrence. "Whai

Death Of Or. Piper.
FORMER wILMINGToNIAN DIES OF
DEsTITUTIoN.

A FORMER wILMINGToNIAN DIES OF
DEsTITUTIoN.
On Saturday, March 27th, in New
ark, New Jersey, DR.. George W. Pi-
per was found dead in his lodging
room, where for some time he had lived
alone. From appearances life had
been extinct for several days, and the
rats and mice had eaten off portions
OF the hands and fingers. An inquest
was held, and the jury rendered ver-
dict that the man had died from des-
titution.
Dr. Piper will be well remembered
by many of the older citizens of Will
minglon. He came hele in 1S45, and
practiced cupping and leeching for
several years. He was also surgeon for
one of the local military companies
,hat existed in this city just previous
to the Mexican war. He was at one
time engaged to be married to a young
lady of this neighborhood, but jeal-
GUS rival intermeddle6 and broke off
the match. The result was a fight be-
tween the Doctor and his rival, but it
was attended with no fatal results -
DIR. Piper lived here for seven or eight
Years, and then departed. About a
year ago he made brief visit to Will
mindton, and called on several of his
old friends.
In speaking of DR.. Piper's death a
Newark, N. j., paper says:
DR.. Piper was about n years of
age. His wife died many years ago,
the loss of which preyed upon his
mind, to such an extent as to shatler
his intellect, and he was placed in DR..
Kirkbride's Asylum, by nephew in
Philadelphia, and a liberal allowance
male for his support and treatment
while there. He managed to escape
from that institution, and refused to
return. He went to Fewark, N. j.,
few years ago, where the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Odenheimer, a son of DIR. Pi-
per's half brother, John W. Odenhei-
mer, at his own cost had him placed in
an asylum for the insane, but again he
refused to submit 10 the treatment,
and as his deluslons were ofa harmless
character, he was released. If the de-
ceased died from desIitution as is sat
ed, his relatives are i'll no wise at fault.
AT all times they were willing to con-
tribute 10 his support and The sad end
ing of his career Is alone the result of
halluciuation.

A CHARNEL HOUSE wRECKED-FIvE
THOUSAND CoRPsEs EXPOSED TO
THE LIGHT OF DAY.
NEW YORK, April "A ghastly
occurrence happened yesterday at
Wesley Methodist Chapel, on Attor-
ney street. Two large vaults caved
in with terrible crash, leaving an
i'm mense open space. The vaults
were known as epidemic vaults, and
contained upward of five thousand
bodies, the interments dating back as
far the cholera epidemic of 1849, when
over two thousand persons were in
tered. TweIty years ago the vaults
were ordered closed, at which time they
were full. Since then, gradual under
mining has taken place. The spectIcle
presented by the caving in was a shock
lug one. Bones, skulls and portions of
decayed coflins were scattered IN all di-
rectlons. From each shattered boz were
seen protruding bones or grim skeleton
heads, ghaslly horrible and Drowned by
age to the color of the wood inclosing
them. Box upon box, coffin by coffin,
file upon file, row by row, the entire
vaults to the ceiling had been filled, but
the heavy sealing stones caving in upon
them had jumbled them together in a
mass.
The vaults had been built of
brick, with single stones thicknes in
the arches. Dirt, four feet deep, had
been piled upon them, and filled the
yard above. Trees planted within the
last twenty years grew upon them, and
their roots had made their way through
the brick. work into the resting place Of
the dead.

The Break at the Basin.

A careful examination of the break
in the east wall of the south part OF the
Cool Spring Reservoir makes it appear
that the damage can be repaired with
out incurring the expense at first sup
posed necessary. An examination OF
the bank shows that IL is compt-r atively
uninjured, except where the crack exists
and the lower part of the brick lining
having settled solidly, the only work
necessary will be to. repair the bank at
the break, and then cl Sc up the assure
in the brick work. The small cracks
in the south side of the division wall
can be cemented at very little cost.
City Council will meet at the basin
this afternoon, to inspect the damage,
with view of determining the repairs
nee, ssary. Mr.. Isaac S. Casson, OF
Philadelphia, who did considerable en-
gineering work at Cool Spring reservoir
and also completed the. Rodney street
basin after IL had proved failure, will
be present and give Council the benefit
of his professional advice.

The Poisoned WGter.
THE CHIEF ENGINEER TRYING II
LEARN WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.

THE CHIEF ENGINEER TRYING TO
LEARN WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.
Since yesterday morning, when It was
learned that some vile, poisonous refuse
matter from some of the mills up the
Brandywine had been emptied into the
stream and found its way into the basin
Chief Engineer Mclntire has been en-
deavoriug to ascertain who were the
guilty parties. He does not think the
stuff came from the Brancrofts' mills, as
for several months past it has been their
invariable custom to notify him when
they were about to empty their refuse
vats, so that lie could have the pumps
stopped until the water became cleared
of The impurities. This morning In re-
spouse to his inquiries, he received a
letter from q. j. Milne, of the Brandy
wine (Riddle's cotton mills,) statingt hat
at this establishment "the Sunday watch
man is the only one who opens the
sluice which allows the waste dye to
escape into the creek, and he says that
he opened it between A and o'clock
Sunday afternoon"
This is the first intimation the Chief
Engineer had that there was such at
Riddles mills, as 1t was generally be-
lieved they never allowed any dye
stuffs TO flow Into the creek. He will
continue his inquiries with view to
finding out where the poison did come
from aud having this promiscuous poi
soning of the Brandywine water sum
marily stopp d.
The filth got into the north basin so
freely as to leave yellow, sulphur-like
scum adhering TO the north wall, to a
width Of two or three iuchcs when the
water receded.
