PHILADELPHIA, MAY i2.

While the buds were bursting in our
Park the authorities were fishing up the
head of a man who had been brutally
murdered by a supposed employer
Spring gave the scene sickening con-
trast, as above and around, as the poet
expresses it, "all nature cries aloud
through all her works" there is God.
Wissahiclion creek where this terrible
revelation Of mans inhumanity to man
was discovered is the meandering stream
which passes directly through the Park,
and along whose banks is one of the
drives that no city in the world can boast
of in their parks. Some two months ago
sack containing the decomposing re-
mains Of the trunk of a man were found
in the creek Since then the mystery
has deepened, until now the splashing of
iish's tail going over u bank of rock
drew policcman's attention to this last
piece of Identification OF the mysterious
victim. 1t is now proven by strong evil
dence that tho man is none other than
one Stahl who worked in a hog butchers
shop, by the name of Dieterlie, and that
lie was murdered his head severed by II
cleaver from his body, and the two sec
tons put into bags which bone boiling
establishments use, and thrown into the
stream miles away.
Speaking of the Park reminds me that
we are nearing the pic mic season. 1t is
growing moro the fashion for parties to
60 to the Park than to hired grounds,
and of course there is quite "a skirmish
among parties ms to the best locations.
This leads to squabbles which the police
are called to settle. A system is adopted
similar TO the miners of our western civil
ization, by which the first man on the
ground secures n right to the position.
Some parties send their men ont so early
in the morning that they wait for hours

IL O'Clock last night he concluded to make
an impression on the uuterrifed and to
beard the lion in his den, as il were. The
crowd of democrats around the Lsclede
was as large as usual, and Gen. Ryder was
an Interested spectator and listener. As
the evening wore on he became talker
and at the above hosr began exclaiming
'Bring on your dogs, you thieving -
-" and similar expressions. Officer
Lyon cautioned him to keep quiet, but
without success, and was finally compelled
