When General Garfield was driver on the Ohio canal his employer never saw him mad, and never caught him in lie. He also diff fered from other canal boys in being atten- tive to his business and reading whenever he could get time. His service on the canal lasted about three months, after which he went to live with Doctor Robinson, and commenced going to school
 It is currently reported in Washington that the President seriously contemplates the re- moval of General Raum, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and that the change will shortly occur. The President, it is said, in formed General Raum before the Springfield, H., convention met that he hoped the com missioner would not participate in it, be- cause such a fragrant violation of the we'll known civil service order by .one occupying so high and important position would em- barrass him; that while he (the President) might not be disposed to notice violation in every instance of the order by lower officials far removed from the capital, in the Raum case his active connection with a political convention would be highly improper. Gen eral Raum's s disregard of the Presidents per sonal order in attending both the Springfield and Chicago conventions has naturally offend ed the President. It is specially stated that General Raum's preference for the nomina- tion is not an element of the case at all, but if he is removed the motives of the President quarters.

Fire Matters.

Upon the invitation of VIM. Hanna,
chairman of the Fire Committee of City
Council, the Presidents of each of the
Fire Companies met the committee in
the Council chamber ON Saturday even
ing last. The meeting was called for
the purpose of suggesting to the compa-
nies the impropriety of sending their
horses to the funerals of deceased mem
bers, as i'll case of fire occurring at such
a time it would cause considerable de-
lay in getting the department into SER
vice. The committee admitted that such
actions on the part of the department
was great saving to the family OF the
deceased, but suggested that in lieu of
sending their own horses that each COM
pany hire pair of horses, as well as a
cab, for the occasion. Each of the Pres
ldents were requested to lay the matter
before their respective companies.

The Water witch House.
WHY THE NEW STRUCTURE WILL NOT
BE ERECTED FOR A YEAR.

DE EhECTED FOX A YEAH
Recently the Water Witch S. F. e.
Company cold their present engine
house property, No. 513 Shipley street,
to james M. Bryan, and began to make
active preparations for the erection of
new edifice on alot previously purchased
BY the company, at the s. 4. corner of
Sixth and Tatnall streets. A few days
ago, however, their preparations were
suddenly halted by legal difficulties,
which made it impossible for the com
pany to sell the old property, and COM
pelled cessation of further proceedings
until relief Is obtained at the next ses-
sion OF the Legislature. "c
The difficulties are described as fol-
lows: The Water Witch Fire Company
was first incorporated in January, 1885,
the act Of Incorporation extending Tor q
period OF twenty years. This charter,
OF course, lapsed in 1855, but it was net
renewed, apd the company remained an
unincorporated institution for fourteen
years. Then, in 1869, another act of in
corporation was passed, but instead of
being an act simply to revive, restore
and re-eDact the old act, was an entirely
new production, and very incomplete
affair, also, also, as subsequent events
have proved. 80 30 tsl
The passage of this new act of ihcor-
poration left an interregnum of fourteen
years, during which the company had no
existence IN law, and therefore no power
TO hold property in fee simple as an
organization. This fatal defect was not
remedled in the charter of 1860, which
instrument, in addition declared the
company capable in equity TO hold lands,
tenements, &c, to the value Of $4,000,
whereas it should have declared them
capable in lao and equity. A power in
equity to hold property amounts to
nothing, but power in taao Is some
thing altogether different. ..l
This brilliant charter Is also defec-
tive in another important particular.
The section which attempts to give the
company a legal right to buy and hold
property, and sell the same, as a ma
jority of the members may think
proper, closes with the following pro-
vision "To and for the use and pur-
poses in this act expressed, and to and
for no other use and purposes whatso-
ever" Now, as no fuse and purposes
are expressed in the act, it is hard to
hiiN "hJ icSai poWOl ioi IHC COilp pduy
to exercise in either buying or selling
real estate. 7- -4. a.
For the above reasons the company
will remain in their present location
until afJer the meeting of the next
Legislature when these legal difficulties
can be effectually remedied. A deed
of confirmation, establishing the claim
of the company to their property dur
ing the interregnum between the two
charters will also be procured from
Mr.. Henry Latimer, from whom it was
originally purchased. Mr.. Bryan,
who recently purchased the old engine
house, has refused to take it ON ac-
count of the inability of the company
to give clear title. go O.
The above matters will be talked
over at the meeting of the company
this evening, but it is not likely any
thing will be done until the next Leg
islature.

FEMALE M1NsTRELs TONIGHT.


Nine Rentz's Female Minstrels will
appear at the Opera House,in new and
carefully selected programme of minstrel
sy. The reputation Of this company is
well known in this city, and no doubt
there will be large audience to greet
them. In speaking of recent perform
ance IF the company at Rochester, NY,
the Democrat and Chronicle of that city
says:
"The Rentz-Santley Novelty Compa-
ny were greeted by large attendance at
the Grand Opera House last evening.
There were very few ladies present, but
had the exact nature of the performance
been known beforehand, this would
probably have been different, as there
was nothing In tho entiIo leIgthy pro
gramme which could be charged with
improprlety. There were eleven ladies
six brunettes and five blondes-and
their first appearance in the minstrel
ring was dazzling sight, for they were
not only good-looking but attired in long
trailing dresses of yellow, blue, green
aud other gaudy tinted silk. Contrasted
with the burnt-cork artists, Lew Bene-
dict and Charles Wilson, who were the
end men, their appearance was novel
one. The great hit of the evening was
'Pinafore,' as burlesqued by the compa-
ny, the parts of the gallant sailors being
taken by The females. The Sir Joseph
Weisbeer of Charles Wilson was a stun
nIng production and produced roars of
laughter, as did also the Dick Deddbedt
of James Sanford"

THE BODY OF A PARTIALLY DEcoM-
POSED WHITE CHILD FOUND IN A
coLoRED GRAVE YARD.
On Sunday afternoon, about one
o'clock, as David H. Gustus and r. L.
Byard, two of the trustees of the Afri-
can Union Church, situated on French
street, above Eighth, were walking in
the grave yard, they made startling
discovery, which at the present writ
ing remains shrouded in mystery, but
which will perhaps come to light.
AS they approached the board fence
on the north of the grave yard, separ-
ating it from the yard of McLear &
Kendalls carriage shop, Mr.. Byard
noticed an object on top of pile of
sand in kind of washout. Upon a
nearer approach, the object proved to
be a wooden box, partially covered
over with old leaves. They removed
the leaves, and sounding the box it
gave forth a dull sound as though it
contained something. Being satisfied
that it did, they repaired to the under
taking establishment of L. W. Pal
mer, and informed him of their discov-
cry. That gentleman repaired to the
spot. and upon forcing off the lid of
the box found to his amazement, the
body of fully matured white child
The body of the infant was clothed in
fine linen and lace embroidered sheet
ing. Around its head was arranged
piece of muslin in the shape of a
hood. There was also quantity of
linen underneath its head. From the
appearance of the body it is thought
that it had been there three or four
days. Mr.. Palmer took the box and
it's contents to his establishment, and
last evening, Coroner Butz summoned
a jury for the purpose of holding an
inquest. After hearing the evidence
of Messrs. Gustus and Byard, the jury
adjourned to meet at the call of the
Coroner. ... -...
In the meantime every effort will be
made to discover who the inhuman
mother is, and bring her to justice.
