the usual Big Quarterly, and from pres
emf indications the number oi colored
people that will come here will he larger

rary building has been erected in the
graveyard back Ofthe church on French

expected to be present. A number OF
distinguished cOlored preachers will be
present, and will take part in the ser
vices. Mayor Wales said yesterday
that while he intended 10 prohibit
stands being erected along the side
walks, nothing would be done TO pre-
vent persons from selling articles to

Adventures Of q DOG Cart.

DIR. II. f. Williams, of Coatesville,
has been somewhat unfortunate this
week, as he has been twice thrown out
of his dog cart On Sunday, as he was
driving down Second avenue with IA
friend, his horse trod on II rolling stone
and fell. throwing the Doctor over the
dash board. He fell between the Gloss
bar of the shafts and the horse, where
he got fast and it was some time before
ne could get out. His friend had
,umped out and with the assistance OF
the crowd gor the Doctor loose when
the two again drove on their way, re-
ioicing at their fortunate escape-nt
injuries and nothing broken. OH Mon
day evening they were not so fortunate
for as they were driving across the
checkered bridge that spans the Penn
sylvania Railroad, in the west end o

The Steamboats,.

The steamers Wilmington and FELTON,
running between here and Philadei-
phia, and the Susie Mccall, plying to
Pennsgrove, are well patronized. and
numbers of persons who cannot leave
the city for an extended time take ad-
vantage of the low rates of fare to
enjoy delightful ride on the river.
There is possibly nothing Of more bene-
fit TO children during the warm weather
than to take them frequently on the
water. The change of air in most cases
does them more good than medicine,and
where it can be done at such a small
cost no one should fail to give it a trial.
Those who do not want to ride as far AZ
Philadelphia can see an afternoon s
pleasure by going over to Pennsgrove
on the Susie Mccall, and after spend
ing few hours inhaling the cool, re-
freshing breeZes in the beautiful grove,

relation 10 a pension, was resumed IN
the United States District COur', IN
Philadelphia, Y, sterday. Samuel Davis
Sddle d the jury on behalf Of Wesner
and Isaac n. Shields spoke for Rankin.
Ia the course Of his remarks Colonel
Shrl's submitted to the jury that an
old luau like George Rankin, 66 years
Of age, and gray headed, would not be
guilty ul he crime of dragging desti-
tute and unfortunate woman like Lii

which was the amount the defence
asserted the prosecution was endeavor-
ing to show he was entitled to under the
transaction.
United States District Attorney
Valentine then followed with lengthy
address to the jury, after which the
Judge delivered his charge, saying that
in order to convict the defendants
the jury must be satisfied that they
united together, or with Henry Frank
or others, to carry out the scheme. -
The Court then left to the Jury for its
opinion whether the evidence of Mrs
Peabody was sufficiently corroborated
or not.
The jury retired about fifteen minute,
after 3o'clock, and at quarter of
O'clock-the Judge faving gone In the
meantime-they sealed their verdic
and departed.
From the fact that the jury was oul
