to tell of the times when he drovs Henry
Clay AMI William Henry Harrison and
other great men of the day across the
C ultry in his stage The distance from
L.ewiStown "a Bairsvills by the old stage
route was l25 miles. The road was rough
and dangerous, but Isaac at oncs acquired
the roi utati"n of being one of the best
drivers in the service. He nevr carried
rev liver for protection, and wns
never at acked on the way by thieves or
highwaymen. When the Pennsylvania
Railroad was built the water to supply
locomotives, now pumped by steam
power, was thea drawn by horse power

Last Monday morning, when the stable
OF BENZ 9in Haupt was opened, his horse
was found standing in the stsl! w tn his
mouth wide open. 1t seemed cur Gus, but
what was more curious was that a h orse-
shoe was in the mouth standing crosswise
The animal was taken to j. B thinner
mans blacksmith shop, where its mouth
was pried oren- with iron bars sufficiently
to let the shoe be taken out An examina-
t5on showed that the shoe had been on the
horses foot the evening before. The ami
NAL evidently got its foot in its mouth,
and, In trying to get it out, the shoe was
torn from the hoof.

Disgraceful Junkcting Trip.

The Baltimore and Ohio officials took the
members of The Philadelphia City Council
over their proposed route yesterday. They
took a steamer on the Delaware, steamed
around into the Schuylkill, went over the
route in Carriages and then returned 10 the
boat. The junkeC was the most dIsgracefuI
of the many disgraceful ones that tAh coun-
cilmeu have taken part in. Dinner was
served Oh the boat, and champagne ran free
all day. It is no exaggeration 20 -ny that
half the couucilm-n were drunk. Many of
these were in fighting mood. They
smashed glasses, threw bottles cfc"A'opagne
at each other, b:okc he window :panes and
cursed like roWdes in bar room.
When the railroad committee slated TO
leave Fifty-eighth street and the Piiadel

Councilman Matthews slapped Council

knocked Matthews down. Matthews lay
for almost n minute PROSTATE on the track
of the horse railway. Other Courcilmen
told Weyman that he ought to be Ashamed
of himself to hit an old man, and there
came near being general row, but the
friends of both Weyman and Matthews led
them away.
There was another fight between Select
Councilman Monroe, of the Third ward, and
Common Councilman Charles K. Smith, of
the Twentieth ward. who got into row
over the Weyman Matthews fight. 1t was
on the boat at Walnut street wharf that
Councilman Monroe caught Councilman
Smith by the throat and swore that he could
whip fifty Charles K. Smiths. After lively

separated them and kept them apart Coun-
Gilman Monroe also smashed two lass doors
with his fist and cut his hand badly. A
waiter who was standing against the door

THE WATER SUPPLY.-Mr. Loudoun
Campbell, engineer of the Columbia fire
engine, took the water pressure of several
fire plugs in the city before the connection
was made with the recently laid mains at
Hotf's run. After the connection was made
with the new water pipes, he again took
the pressure of the plugs which he had pre-
viously tested, and found that the supply
had been increased nearly three-fold. The
plug at the corner of Duke and Royal
streets on the first test registered twelve
pounds, and on the last trial thirty.two
pounds-an increase of twenty pounds.
The supply at the other plugs has been in
creased in proportion to the one above
mentioned. When the work of laying the
new pipes has been completed there will be
no cause why the two fire engines cannot
draw water from the same MAMA diff
Guilty which has caused considerable trouble
heretofore in time of fire.
