altogether likely that he will return it

Mr.. Grifith's objections are that Ooun-
Gil has made no appropriation against

that the law ma5es him responsible Tor

duly appropriated by ordinance. The
city solicitor holds tina. the act of Legi4-

the members of City Council that they
had no right to place this item in the sp-

PHILADELPHIA, July ga keen
interest has been stirred up among capi-
talists and prominent business men of
this city ia relation to the report that the
steamer Tucbahoe, Captain Demorest, of
the Merritt Wrecking Company OF New
York had sucoeeded in locating the
sunken treasure ship De Braak, which
foundered in Delaware bay, May 25th,
179S. The Merritt Wrecking Oompany's
people were aanguine of success upon
their arrival of the Delaware Break water,
and the location upon which the steamer

SC. Mary's II. a. B. society Receives
1000 yolumes For Its New LiDrarJ

Sc. Mary's IT, a. B. society Receives
1000 Volumes For Hts New Library
st. Marys Total Abstinence Beneficial
Society held what it called "a book re-
ception" al its cosav new rooms at No.
5l4 e. SIKH street Thur ,dsy night. The
front Of the building was brilliantly illu-
minated with an electric light and
Chinese lanterns, while within all Of the
rooms were in blaze Of light. About
l 1000 people were present during the
evening, and the most of these left me-
mentoes OF their presence in the form Of
some handsomely bound volume which
went to swell the library of the society.
1t was hustling, busy throng which
necessarily rowded ami pushed but IL
was ell done gaod-naturedly. The ladies'
Of the parish had transformed the rooms
into yeritsble fairy. bowers. Long tables
ranged along the entire length Of the first
and second q Dor rooms and these were
decorated with a profusion of lowers
and laden with ice cream, cakes and
lemonade which were served ont to all
who desired. There was nothing formal.
The Young men Of the society were there
in full force dressed in their Sunday best
and wearing boutonniers and they were
generally accompanied by one or more
ladies'. Father Flynn whose interchangeable
efforts bave mainly brought the society
to ils present state of prosperity, mingled
among the crowd and had some cheerful
and good-patured remark for each.
''It has been q very cheap investment
for u.s." he remarked, "as for our re-
froBhments we have received in return
over l 900 Volumes" fne large hook
case WAS unable to hold all the oontribu-
tiona aud books were lying in piles on
the floor where they will have to remain
until quarters can be provided. There
Were not many duplioationB and the do
nations embraced books on almost all
subjects, including science, history,
fiction, 60, although the latter predom-
mated.
The novels, however, were mostly
standard works. Division No. l, A. o
H., gave Marrystt's complete works;
Delaware Council, No. l6l, o. B. L.,
donated handsome set Of Bulwer-
Lvtton; Father Campbell gave set OF
Dickens; two sets of Thackeray's novels
were received, one from W. H. MCCARTHY
aud one from Miss Mary 0'aarra; the
Shislds LibrRrs Association gave q set
Of Waverley novels; Father Farley gave
! six volumes on various subjects. The
| other donations were mostly of single
books many of which are still unwrapped.
The Very Reverend Father Lyons gave
*l5 in money and Father Birmingham
$40.
The result exceeded the most ssnguine
expectations Of the projectors. After the
excursion to Birminghum Park on. July
30th. the society will add a pool-tsble TO
it's equipment and will then be ready to
enjoy the comforts and conveniences of
its cosy home.
By providing attractive quarters and
rational amusements, Father Flynn ia
teaching the young men of st. Mary's
| parish how not to be drunkards. Or
ganized in 1872, the society now numbers
100 members and is growing RAPIDLY.

Ghastiy Accident i'm New York A
Little Girl Beheaded by a Streca-
Car.
New YORK, July 25.-"There is my
baby They killed her Gut her dear
little head from her body. Oh, God |
what will do. They butchered her,"
Such ware the excited EXPLANATIONS of
Mrs. Ovsrhulse when q reporter entered
her apartments on tho second floor of this
tenement house 834 Third avenue this
morning.
Az she spoke che walked wildly up and
down the room, stopping now and then
to kiss the cold face of pretty, golden.
haired ltls girl who lay in small coffin
at one side of the room.
Josephine, the dead child, was the
youngest OF three children and little
more than years old. At 8 O'Clock, last
evening, she was playing on the street in
front OF her home. She started to run
as fast as she could down Third avenue.
AS she arrived on the uptown track car
went dsshing along. Before the baby
could clear the track she wss struck and
fell with her neck across the rail nearest
to the sidewalk. The passengers heard q
crunohing sound, as IL the wheels were
grinding soft stone, and then the car
was stopped.
There the baby girl was found, her
head on one side OF the track. her body
on the other, aud the rear wheel bloody
and strips of flesh hanging to 1t, resting
on fragment of the neck.
Men cursed and shouted, women
screamed and wept; q great crowd
gathered, and in the midst of all the ex
citemsnt few cool. headed men pushed
the heavy car back far enough to get at
| the head under the wheel aud lift it ont.
Then 1t was taken with the body Of the
baby to the east Fifty. first street station
house, where the parts were tied as we'll
as possible with handkerchief. Thus
fastened, the body was sent home to the
mother, and she had never heard OF the
accident until the bleeding corpse was
brought into the house.
Policeman Buckley arrested Samuel
Holden, the car driver, single man
forty two years old, who lives at 23l7
Third avenue.
he was arraigned in the Yorkville
Court to-day and held to await the action
of the coroner.
