CHARGED WIN MIre.Murder.

Mrs. Emily Black, wife of a prosper
GUS farmer at Centre Square, GlouCes
ter county, N. j., died on Tuesday, 7th
inst, from a pistol shot wound and the
coroner's jury subsequently returned a
event had almost died away, wi en- yes
terday the excitement rose again when
it was known that Black had been ar
rested Oh the charge of wife. murder.
The complaint was made by George W.
Gardner, the dead wife's brother, who
is large farmer at Westville. A pre-
liminary examination was held at
Woodbury. yesterday afternoon before
Justice W. II. Livermore. Samuel II.
Gray, OF Camden, and J ohm 8. Jessup,
Of Woodbury., appeared for Black, the
State being represented by Prosecutor
Belmont Perry. The testimony was
very vague, There had been now and
then quarrels between the prisoner and
his wife. They had been married thir-
ty years and had four children. On
Tuesday morning Mrs. Black went up
stairs after breakfast, and Black and
his son watered the horses. The former
then went in the house to dress, and af.
terwArd came out and inquired for
"mother.' A search resulted in her
being found dead in third-story room,
with a pistol wound in her left side.
The clothing close to the wound was
burned and scorched, and this support
ed the theory of suicide The justice
did not consider the evidence sufficient
ly to the point 10 hold the prisoner, and
Black was discharged.

Base Ball Matter.

A meeting of the Iuter State Base
Ball Association of which the Quick.
step Clup Of this city are members, will
oe held at the Bingham House Phila-
delphia, Oh Saturday Of next week. A
mum Der of persons have suggested that
either the Ross or Houston club of
Chester or team selected from the
best material of both, with some play
ers from q distance II necessary, be ad-
mitted instead of a Philadelphia club,
as it is generally believed that a club
in that city beside the Philadelphia,
League, or Athletic, Of the American
ASSOCIATION, would be losing invest
ment. With club at Chester the clubs
from the interior of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, which compose the
League, could make y weeks trip South
aud play on alternate days in Whining
ton and Chester. The latter city has
already two strong clubs, and two en-
closed grounds, and there is no reason
why Chester should not support one
good L. ter State Association team.

AnA,Irnc,lxe SHOW yvlnaox.

The enterprising firm Of G. s. Hum.
phrey & Bro, S02 Market street, have
the finest show windows In the city
and great taste displayed in DECORATING z
the same. The southern window Is de-
voted to the display OF ata, caps and
fur goods, while the upper window at
the present time Is tastelully decorated
with collars and cuffs exclusively which
makes novel sight and attracts the At
tention of every passer by. The amount
of goods displayed in the windows are
nothing compared to what is exhibited
inside and purchasers are amazed when
they enter and view the many novel.
ties offered by this firm and are still
more amazed when they learn the
prices, which are very low. This firm
are fully up to the times and are among
the first to secure the latest styles in
hate, caps, furs and gents furnishing
goods. An enterprise of this kind
should meet with popular favor by our
cit zens and they are fast achieving q
reputation second to none in the city.
Visitors are always cordially received
whether they purchase or not and the
ladies 5! ould bear this in mind when
they need fine furs and sholld by all

Volved In Its construction. Suppose
then that o survey has been made, and
q proper and practical outlet has been
fixed upon, and the sum Of $3.50, 900 has
been fixed as the cost ofits construction.
Is such an increase Of our debt judi.
cious In view of all the advantages to be
gained 10 this city, and the citizens
individually?
There are 46, 900 Inhabitants in our
city, which would give 5000 families, a
tax per annum of three dollars on each
would amount to $27, 900. Tho inter-
est on $3.50, 600 at per cent. is SIC, 900.
which would leave a balance of bl7 600
take 5000 year for repairs and su.
pervision and there would be Sl2, 600
annually, which applied to the reduc.
tion Of the principal, would liquidate
1t In 20 years, after which a trifing
sum would be sufficient to pay the ex.
penses Of the sewerage.
There have been reported to the Board
of Health for the past year within the
city limits 2, ,346 privies cleaned, which
at Ave dollars each would amount to
$11 ,725. Say $4,000, which would pay
the interest Oh $259, 900, and when it is
remem bered that as the city increases
in population, this sum OF $l1,725 will
become larger year by year indefinitely,
the advantage OF q system which will
arrest this large expenditure by our
citizens is obvious and worthy Of Sc
rious consideration.
The Board Of Health therefore re
spectfully call the attention of Council
10 this subject, aud urge thata survey
be ordered, 30 that the exper ses and
advantages and disadv utages of this
system may be placed before Your
Honorable Body, and you thus be en-
abied TO decide upon the propriety Of
memoralizIng the Legislature upon this
subject at lis next session.

About two eeks ago Mr.. John Knot,
who resides on East Seventh street be-
low Spruce, tEis city, and who
has been a cripple for about nine years,
during which time he has never walked,
was taken to the Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia for treatment.
Silce his admission into chat
institution two operations have
been performed which have been sue
cessful and it Is the opiulon Of che sur
geons that the afflicted man will recover
the entire use Of his limbs. A letter
received by his wife in this city states
the fact and further says that in about
four to six months he will come home
unattended and walk as Of yore. About
9 years ago Mr.. Knot was injured by a
hand car O0 the 2. W. x B. railroad,
the injuries being of such nature that
while he was cured he lost the use of
his limbs and WAS wheeled around In a
large chair. If his permanent cure is
effected and he can walk once more, his
many friends will heartily congratulate
him,

A CYPRESS REcUPERATIvE PowER.-In
a communication to the West Chester
PENN Record, Mr.. Isaac w. Van Leer,
of Chester county, says: =" In the South

knobs from its roots, like straw bee. hives,
apparently to air them by keeping part
above water. We have tree of that vari-
ETY. on our lawn Ia sandy loan where water
never comes except when it rains) that con.
tinues to push up its round knobs as if
it was growing in the Dismal Swamp in
Virginia. Perhaps another popularity of
readers. After transplanting. it grew up
beautiful cone, until it reached about 40
feet in hight, when storm of sleet and
wind broke off about one. third of its length,
leaving the five remaining limbs of
equal length-6 by 0 feet-standing round
at an angle of AS. Its beauty being de-
stroyed, l only waited for convenient
opportunity to remove it; but | soon OBJ
served that one of the five long limbs
was turning up and taking the place of the
missing top. After its erect position was
assumed it grew three feet to its fellows
one, and the tree is now as straight and
symmetrical a cone as before its accident,
without crook, bend, or enlargement at the
place of fracture. have noticed two
sprigs of one years growth on evergreens
turn up in this way, but did not suppose a
limb seven or eight feet long, with many
side limbs, and five or six years old would
act in the same way. When the leaves are
down you can see where the break was
made, by the upper limb being more slen-
der and the bark smooth"

he had left town by rail, had gone south on

his Swede countrymen on Ruby Hill, Dill
gent inquiry for his whereabouts was made at
the time, however, and it was pretty well de-

closely looking into the possibilities of his

MORNING SESSION.


SAVED FROM THE SEA-The survivors
of the burned coal ship Milton have ar
rived. They are Captain Macarthur, his
wife, two children and one sailor. They
were long time at sea in an open boat,
and suffered terribly from thirst and hun
ger. Tne story they tell is horrible one
heartrending. Words cannot picture the
sufferings they endured in the forty. six
days in an open boat days when the
tropical sun was slowly parching the life
out of all !; when the mother saw:one babe
waste away to death for the lack of even
such scanty nourishment as had to be dealt
out to all /; days when the clear.headed
Captain had to tie to the thwarts two of
the crazed sailors to prevent them from
feasting in fact upon the weaker ones. upon
whom their delirium-lighted eyes flashed
hungrily, longingly days when distant
sails would loom up, wildly revive sinking
hope, disappear, and drive hope into a
greater, blacker distance days when the
sufferings of all were nearly ended by
drowning, when the crazsd mems wild
plunging nearly capsized the boat. 1t is a
horrible picture, and one which the i'm
agination alone can attempt feebly to paint.
