A DAY OF PLEASURE.
The AsbUry Excursion 10 Ch est nut
Grove Yesterday.

The Asbury NJ. L. Sunday School eX
cursion to Audalusia, yesterday, was
attended by about 600 persons. Had
the day been more pleasant there is no
doubt but that a very large crowd would
have been taken. AS it was, however,
more than expenses were realized.
On the way up music was fur
nished by the City Cornet Band.
Chestnut Grove, (Andalusia), which
was reached at ll.3O o'c.ock,iS in Penn
sylvania, about II miles above Philadel-
phia. 1t is very beautiful and con-
tains about ll5 acres. 1t is well clear
ed of underbush and leaves, and has
splendid shade. 1t has excellent drink
ing water and large pavilion. Benches
and tables are very plentiful. There is
also tirst-claSs restaurant, which is
conducted by Mr. Frank Snyder. A din
ner, which would do credit to any hotel
keeper i'll this city, can be procured at
the restaurant for 80 cents. About 12j
persons can be accommodated with din
ner at one time. Excursionists will be
taken hack-driving a distance Of two
miles for ten cents.
During the afternoon music was fur
nishcd by the band; also members of
the school, (under the leadership Of w.
b. Genn) with organ and cornet accom-
paniment, sang numerous beautiful Sc
lectionS,
Taken altogether was day of pleasure
to all. There were no accidents nor any
disorder. All who We're in attendance
returned home tired, but satisfied that
Asbury had preserved her reputation
for giving pleasant excursions. The only
distressed person seen was well known
fish dealer who lost a green umbrella,
but he was fortunate enough to find it
again. j. j, McMullen should he com
plimented for the successful manage
ment Of the excursion.
Members of the school say the music
furnished by the band was one of the
most pleasing features of the excursion;
and that the City Cornet Band is the
musical organization for them in the
future.

Cruz and Mexican ports, arrived al
Quarantine station, with Gen. Grant and
Capt Eads among his passengers, at J
o'clock this morning. She will be de-
tained at Quarantine for, 72 hours. Gen
Grant and Capt. Eads were much vexed
at the detention, but the officers were
very strict and would not allow any
except acclimated persons to leave the
station
Capt. Eads desired to stop at the jet
ties, but Capt. Mcintosh could not per-
nit it. Capt. Eads says his concession
is the most liberal grant ever made by
the Mexican Government and very fav-
orable to the United States. His mis-
sion was a complete success. Gen. Grant
is greatly irritated over the Conkling
affair and eagerly reads all the dispatch
ches. He says Conkling has been
elected to the Senate.
He thinks the newspaper abuse of
Conkling is instigated by the White
House influence, but not by Garfield.
He reafiirms his letter to Senator Jones,
of Nevada, but will take no hand i'll

and the Marine Bank, and says there is

also highly successful. He got all the
concessions he wanted, the only oppo-

roads. Gen. Grant will 60 to st. Louis,

relation to the railroad accident of Mon.
day last on the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Bear Swamp was continued to-day
The first witness was Charles W
Sloan, of this city, a passenger on the
ill-tated train. He testified as to the
manner in which the cars We're handled
after they entered the switch.
Benjamin Baker, the regularly en-
ployed operator and switchman at Bear
Swamp, testified mainly as to the char
acter Of the duties required Of him. Be-
sides his telegraph work he had to at
tend to two switches. He said he had
ample time to attend to this double
duty; that he had worked at the same
switch for years, and never knew it or
the signals to fail. After lettinga train
on the siding his duty was to 90 back
and close that switch under all Circun'
stances. Sutphin, who was on duty at
the time of the accident, was SubSt'

moor by being struck by the City Of
Richmond last Wednesday morning,
while fishing, was taken to his native
place, Hartford county, Md, to-day and
will be inferred at Matters church.
The coroner's jury at the inquest
failed to find any criminal neglect on
part of the pilot of the City Of Rich
mond, and the cause of accident was
shown to have been mistake. The
men in the fishing boat seeing the
steamer coming signalled to her to 60
West and avoid cutting their net. In
stead, the wrong signal was given and
the boat came east, striking the skif
and knocking Mr.. Forwood overheard,
and injuring him SO badly that he was
unable to struggle for his life in the
water, and was drowned. The City of
Richmond was exhonorated. Mr.. For
wood was in good circumstances. He
has lived here for a number OF years,
and has many friends in Hartford
county.
