Realism in the Naval Post.

'Naval Post" OF Philadelphia, is, perhaps,
the only one of its kind. 1t certainly has some
odd customs that no other post has. 1t is pre-
eminentIy a naval" post Any old sailor here
about will doubtless be delighted by the fol-
lowing, which is taken from Philadelphia ex-
change of last Sunday:
The most important social event among the
veterans during the past week was the putting
of the Naval Post into commission again. The
naval veterans liken the post to q naval vessel,
and the postroom is made to appear as much as
possible like the deck of an American frigate.
The admirars pennant was hoisted ready for
the ceremonies on Wednesday evening, when
the post was placed in commission. Admiral
Porter could not be with his post personally.
but he sent faithful photograph of himself,
from which he directed that large picture
should be made and framed at his expense.
This was done, and The portrait was placed in
the position on the deck where the Admiral
himself would be stationed were he aboard, as
il represented him. The crew were assembled
on the port side of the ship, while the officers
we're stationed on the starboard side. Com
mander Joseph V. Horne was in his place.
while the Adjutant Shipmate, John f. Mackie,
acted as Paymaster OF the Department. At
the third roll OF the drum the bag was broken
and the post was declared to be in commission.
Assistant Adjutant General Samuel P Town
and many other distinguished comrades were
present. The dropped members were reinstated
and nine recruits mustered. making a addi-
tion of u members TO the ships company. In
1857 Commander Joseph A Connolly took the
post into the hall at Eighth and Vine streets,
now occupied by it. When the post was firmly
mOored there the members numbered l20; the
debts of the post amounted to Sl.500. The post
is now clear of debt and has 81 900 in the char
ity fund. The membership is 226 in good stand
ing.
After the muster the main brace was
'spliced." This interesting ceremony was led
by the Assistant Adjutant Genera, under the
guidance of Adjutant Mackie. A dog watch was
held, az which Assistant Adjutant General
Town presided. Addresses were delivered by
different comrades.

HIT BY AN EXPRESS.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Sued by DR.. William Porter.
MURDER In THE SECOND DEGREE.
The Finding of the, Jury in the Case
Against Laura Myers.
A DAYS COURT HOUSE HAPPENINGS

Suit was brought late yesterday afternoon
against the Pennsylvania Company, as lessee
and operator of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne
and Chicago Railway. The preliminary
papers were filed in the Prothonotary's office
by Alexander NJ. Watson and John d.
Watson, attorneys, for DR.. William Porter,
their client, who claims that he is entitled
to damages for injuries to his person. He
blames the company for his misfortune In
being hurt, and in his statement makes the
following charges:
That on the morning of May s, 1890, he went
to Glenfield station on the offending road to
take an early train for the city. The train ne
intended taking waS due about o'clock. He
came down a winding road from the top Of
high hill overlooking the tracks, and. because
of the positions of number of buildings about
the station, he was unable to see very far down
the railroad. The station house and sheds also
stood in the way. He walked past the block
tower across the public road. which blsects the
track at that point, and started across TO the
south or up-train platform He saw no 5 tral5
coming and heard none until he had stepped
onto the south track and then he was
made aware of the approach of an engine Dy
sharp whistle of warning. 1tstinctiVely ne
sprane toward the platform as his nearest es-
cape from death, but before he had quite
cleared the rails the engine was upon him:
The end of the pilot struck him on the hip and
tossed him into the air quite a distance. he
fell heavily on the platform suffering from his
severe handling.
DIR. Porter further claims that the train
which struck him was running at hlgh
rate of speed, under orders that forbid
its stopping between its place OF
starting and station several miles farther up
the road, where 1t runs for early local travel
and is known as the workingmens train.
Along the stretch where it makes fast time it
is called by the patrons of the road by the eu:
phonious title, 1.-The Grasshopper Express,
because of its peculiar motion in running light
and fast.
The doctor is an old residenter of Pittsburg
and vicinity, and although So years OF age
shows an amount OF vitality that is wonderful,
and especially after sustaining the severe In
juries and shock incidental to his interview
with the express train.

other months. The Government crop report
was regarded as bullish. The weakness In wheat

Department Commander Denniston arrived
home from Philadelphia on Tuesday. He re-
ports the business OF the department as being
in trst-class shape. The only delay of any kind
is occasioned by the dilatoriness of some of the
adjutants in sending in their reports for the
last quarter. This matter should be attended
10 quickly as on the reports for the last quarter
is based the representation at the next encamp-
mont. This is the only delay of any kind at

Crder. The Department Commander attended

The Finance Committee met yesterday
afternoon, and afirmatively recommended
an ordinance amending the vehicle ordi-
nance with the object of saving the pave
ments. By the amendment owners Of
vehicles with 6-inch tires pay no fee, with
5-inch tires, one-half, and with 4-inch tires
three-fourths of the present fee. The resolu-
tion refunding to Chief Bigelow 81, 1928 % ex-
pended on his recent visit to Mrs. Schenley
in England, was recommended, Mr.. Ang-
lUch objecting. He was opposed to paying
for junketings. and took the ground that the
Chief should have obtained the consent of
Councils before he went. An ordinance for
the employment of a consulting engineer
and landscape gardener for Schenley Park
was also approved.
A petition from a number of property
holders for damages caused by the obstruc-
tion of the Wilmot street bridge was referred
to the Board of Viewers, and a resolution

From the activity displayed by the local
comrades one would be led to believe that
the command, s'On to Detroit, were to be
given in about a month. Detroit clubs,
associations, committees, etc., are springing
up in quite a lively manner. This is an
unmistakable forerunner of what the next
national encampment is to be. 1t Will
likely surpass in general interest and at
tendance all previous ones. Assurances oi
cheap rates are already being made.
At the meeting of Post 162 last night a
week ago tha following Detroit committee
was appointed: Robert Ash, Charles Holy
land, R. c. Miller, ]. L. Miller and A. +.
Scott. This post expects to have 100 men at
least in line at the encampment. The
Detroit Excursion Association of Post 151
is increasing at every meeting. Post loo
has decided to go to Detroit IN body.
Post 2S6 has Joined the procession and Will
be strongly represented at the encampment.
At Post 3's meeting last Monday evening
the Entertainment Committee reported on
plan for taking the post to Detroit As
result special committee will be appointed
at tomorrow nights meeting whose duty it
will be to make arrangements for taking the
post TO Detroit next year. 1t is expected that
there will be large turnout Of the post at the

He Describes His Singular Experience.
Mr. Thomas Dunseath, an employe of the
PIttsburg Clay Pot Company on kebeeea street,
Allegheny who lives at No. Denney street,
Allegheny City, describes briefly very notable
personal experience:
Mr. Dunseath says: "About six years ago
a growth, which l afterward learned was
a tumor, began to form on the right side
of my neck. 1 paid little attention to
it at first. although it did give me considerable
trouble. IL kept growing larger and larger, how
ever, until it had reached the proportions OF
goOd-sized goose egg and caused me great
Inconvenience. My neck was always stiff. IL
1 wished to look round 1 would have to turn my
whole body.
~ sought the advice of a great many physi-
clans but none of them could do me any good.
They all said an operation with the knife
would be necessary before l could hope for re-
lief. Having read SO much in the papers OF
Drs. Copeland and Blair l decided to consult
them. l did so, and began their Treatment,
although at first they did not promise me
much. / shall always be thankful that did,
for they have cured me-and without an oper-
alton, the thing l dreaded 50 much.
