SERIOUS BURNING.

bursting OF - Campaign Torch.
Last night, after the adjournment Of the
Democratic meeting, and while the ward
clubs were marching out West King street
OH their way home, 4 campaign torch in
the hands of one of the members of the
Ninth ward club exploded and the oil of
the lamp fell upon the back of young
man named Marcellus Gimpy, saturating
his uniform, which at once took fire.
Ginlpy ran out Of the ranks covered with
flame. ard it was some moments be-
fore he could be caught, thOwn
and the flames extinguishel.. He was
then carried into the boarding house Of
Mrs. Wilmer, 4all West King street and
medical aid summoned. Drs. Carpenter
and Stehman were soon in attendance and
found the young man burned almost to Il
crisp about the back and sides. He was
kept all night ut Mrs. Winners and this

In this connection VIC may mention that

badly that they had to be extinguished
and cmpticd to prevent accident. They
are dangerous playthings, and the clubs
who use them should try to "get the

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
OLD ST. JAMES.


When some ten years since, under the
rectorship of the Rev. 4. S. Watson, a
most beautiful cl,anccl was added to this
venerable building, it became evident that
the time would come when the whole
church would bc made consistent with the
architectural character of the new work.
That day has arrived and St.James, while
retaining it's ancient side walls and it's
old memorials to tho dead who lie
within and around it, stands in fresh and
completed bcauty-a consistent and sym
mctrical pile. During the last summer the
| west front has been removed and the nave
extended in that direction nearly thirty
feet. A bell tower with massive walls,
rising about one hundred and ten feet, has
also been built upon the north side, and 4
very effective porch with pillars Of carved
stone on the south. The nave is now close
upon one hundred feet long and forty-five
feet wide. In the north transept is
the noble organ which was built
for the parish nearly two years
ago. The chanccl, twenty-cight feet deep,
is we'll fitted with oak stalls and seats for
the large surpliced choir. After the last
alterations, in the summer of rs, We print
ed IN account of the beautiful details of
chancel furnishing and adornment, and of
the stained windows which had been placed
in the church. The new portion is in the
LOmbardic style, in which the chanccl was
built, everywhere enriched by well-designcd
work in moulded brick and terra Gotta re-
liefs, and through the greater part of tho
walls arc of brick without plaster. A new
very heavy ribs, now extends through the
Tho &c or l.,
through the tower by three stone grave
tablets in tho pavement of tho western
end One of these marks the resting place
of the wife of DR.. Barton, rector of the
parish before the Revolution, who was 4
sister of Rittenhouse, the celebrated math-
ematician. Another, whose quaint in
scriptiOn and Masonic emblems led
to- it's recent restoration by the good
offices of Lamberton lodge, covers the re-
mains of merchant, late of Edinburgh"
who died in 1777. In the tower porch also
are several ancient tombstOnes. Five me-
mortal windows have recently been placed
in the church-One by Newton Lightncr,
esq.,, in memory of Miss Harriet Old; one
in memory of daughter of J. B. Kauf-
man, esq. one the gift of 4 wOrshipcr in
the church and, within the last few days,
two by member of the family of Clement
3. Grubb, of Lancaster. These, like the
other stained windows, arc all large, of
rich and costly glass, and made by one of
the best glass stainers in England.
The architect is Mr.. Chas. NJ. Burns, of
Philadelphia, and the supervisor of the
work (Which has been done in the best
manner, by the day. is J. Adam Burger, of
this city. The building committee were
the rector, S. II. Reynold, esq.,, and Mr..
George Calder. The church will be re-
opened for Divine service tomorrow morn

Patterson L. Brown.

1t will he remembered that during the
recent exhibition of circus in this city,
detective connected with it caught a
thief who was following it, in the act of
rObbing countryman of his pocket book
had him arrested, and after a hearing
the man, who gave his name rs Philip
Sherman, was summarily committed to
Jail for sixty days by Alderman Barr as
professional thief, and was held to an
swer ut the November sessions for the
robbery. The power to summarily COM
NIT professional thieves is clearly given
to our local magistrates by the act of
March 20, 1868, and the evidence in this
case, of a stranger following up circus
and plying the arts of the pick-pocket in
a crowd, justified his committal. The
evidence on the charge of robbery was
even more decided as the detective swore
that he saw the thief pick the country
mans pocket, and on this charge he was
held to answer ut the November ses-
SiOnS.
Strange to say, 4 few days after he was
committed Alderman Barr gave him a
rehearing and he was discharged.
According to Il statement made by AL
derman Barr to the Ner Era, che did
not consent to reopen the case upon the
representation of Mr.. u. Hay) Brown,
as counsel for the defendant, and only
did so rhen Judge Patterson appeared be-
fore him, IN company acih Mr.. Br0,cn,
and sanctioned the proposed proceeding."
In explanation of Judge Patterson's CO.
operation with him, Mr.. Brown tells the
NeU Era reporter that he had L" proposed
to take out writ of habeos corpus and
give his client a hearing before Judge
Patterson" which the NeW Ero thinks
would unquestionably have been legal
and proper proceedings "Before doing
SO, however, he consulted the judge, who,
being on the eve of leaving town to at
tend the Presbytery of Westminster, re-
quested not to he detained by such a pro-
ceeding, rs it would put him to great in
convenience. Upon statement by Mr..
Brown of the evidence upon which
Sherman was convicted and held, Judge
Patterson oppressed doubt as to ,rhether
he could be conricted on such testimony,
especially as Simpson, the detective, on
,chose testimony he ,cas conricted, soould
probably he beyond the reach Of process
sohen the case came to trial; and suggested
that the alderman reopen the case and gire
the defendant a rehearing.''
This is most remarkable exhibition of
extrajudicial superserviceableness. The
law provides only one way for the release

THE Tribune, under orders from Mr..

mittec in Indiana, printed in its columns a
"fac- similc' of the Confederate flag"
displayed over an account of political
barbecue in the Hot Springs Telegraph in
Arkansas. Its object in doing this was to
make its readers believe that the aforesaid
flag had been "unfurled'' by the Telegraph
aforesaid as sign and symbol of its un-
tanned "rebel" sympathies and proclivi-
ties. This the Tribune did with a full and
perfect knowledge that in the Hot Springs
Telegraph of September Sth, the editor of
that newspaper, Mr.. w. A. Webbcr, ga
Federal soldier during the war, a sergeant
in the Twenty-third Iowa regiment and
