special dispatch from Philadelphia says that a
reporter who called upon Senator Ben. Hill yes
terday afternoon found that he was in excellent
health. or. as he expressed it, had never been
better in his life. He was busy making prepar-
atoms to leave for Washington next week, not
only to take part in the organization of the Sem
ate, but also to push matters incident thereto.
He converses with comparative ease. although
the wound is not healed. and his physicians as
sure him that it will in no wise interfere with
his speech when fully cured. The report that he
has lost large portion of his tongue is entirely
without foundation

could be successfully maintained against plea
OF the statute of Limitations, the initiative pro-
ceedings were taken before the Presidents
death.
The information having been prepared by Col.

and Hon. B. Fl. Brewster, of Philadelphia, who are

only as to the cases which are so nearly barred
out by the statute of limitations. This in
formation, as stated above, had been previ-
ously prepared by Col. Cook, and was then in
the printers hands. and it having been re-
yised by Col. Bliss, who suggested some
additions. which were made, was then
carefully examined by Attorney General Mac
Nea9h, and some suggestions being made by
Mr.. Brewster, it was decided to submit it to the
court. subsequently. Col. CorkhiIl, with Col.
COOK, visited the Attorney General, and the
former attached his name as District Attorney.
Col. Bliss and Mr.. Brewster left for their
homes yesterday, but will return whenever the
exigencies of the case demand. Col. Cook has

''Why?"
First, there's the extra session. Then we
are to have New York administration. New
Workers spend three times as much money as
other people. Their presence in numbers h
always felt, both in the hotels and in every line
of business"
Business is very dull now said theater
manager. 1.-The death of President Garfield and
the continued hot weather accounts for it. Peo-
pie haven't yet begun to make their fall pur-
chases. We expect it will be very brisk soon a

THE DEPARTURE OF THE LIGHT BATTERY.
The blare of the bugle and the sound of
trampng horses brought everybody out in the
street along the river front to-day to witness
the departure of light battery A, I'd artillery to
yorktown. 1t was pretty sight in the sun
light-white helmets and flashing sabers-and
an unusual sight, tOO-a battery fully equipped
for long march, The battery left the barracks
at half-past nine this morning. There were
seventy men Cncluding two bugers). Differed
as follows Breyet Lieutenant Colonel A. C.. NJ
Pennington. commanding; First Lieutenant A.
ID. Schenck, First Lieutenant E. S. Curtis Sec
Ond Lieutenant f. NJ Weaver and Second Lieu
tenant NJ. r. Richards. Lientenants Curtis and
Weaver this morning relieved Lieutenants
Dudley and EdgertOn, respectively. The
battery expect to reach Yorktown about the
10TH They could be seen with the glasses to-
day almost until they reached Alexandria. Their
route lay along Water street to the Long bridge
thence across into Virginia, and down the river
Their course could be followed long way by the
dust raised by the heavy guns and caissons.
The battery is equipped with 3-inch rified Parrot
guns. Tonight the battery will go into camp
about six miles below Alexandria.
The idea of marching these troops to York
town does not spring altogether from senti-
ment. To take one of the batteries with its
heavy equipments and horses to Yorktown
would require a large steamer and it was con-
sldered economical to send them overland. while
at the same time travelling afOOt and horseback
is in keeping with the poetry of the occasion.
FINED FOR HAULING OFFENSIVE MATTER
THROUGH THE STREETS.-This afternoon, in the
Police Court, Abraham Atwell, Horace Conway,
John Jones and James Grady, all cart drivers
were charged by DR.. Townshend. of the health
office, with hauling deconposed and offensive
animal and vegetable matter through the streets
in open carts. Mr.. Fred. Jones, counsel for the
defendants, asked the court to dismiss the dri-
vers. because they were driving these carts for
living; and as their employers were charged.
he thought that the public interest would be
protected by prosecuting the principals. Messrs.
II. Clay Jones and Jas. Frawley. Health Officer
TOwnshend and several policemen testified to
the extreme Offensiyeness of the substances that
were being hauled through the street, and they
testified that they could smell them eight or ten
squares away. The court said that the law was
to prevent a public nuisance and if any one
mixes lot of stable manure with animal and
vegetable matter, and let's it decOmpOse, and
then hauls it through the streets, it comes
within the letter Of the law. The court said he
had wide discrimination in these matters, and
could fine them from % to $685. but as they were
the servants OF others, he would impose the
minimum fine. SO each. Messrs Jones and
Frawey will be tried on the same charge next
Tuesday.
