was arraigned in City Court this morning
and held in heavy bail for the upper court.

held in heavy bail and the court fixed it
at $1,000.

refuse to assist him, keenly feeling the
disgrace he has brought upon them. His
sister is prostrated and under the care of
a physician.

CITY ICE BOAT NO. 8
NOW IN Commission
Big Floes in the River Prove
Menace to Naviga-
ton

Navigation on the Delaware river
yesterday was an exceptionally diff
cult as well as dangerous proposition,
owing to the heavy foes OF ice which
were carried down stream by the tide.
Added to this q heavy fog arose in
the afternoon, shutting out everything
from sight and it was impossible for
craft to proceed on their journeys. The
steamer Brandywine, of the Whining
ton Steamboat Company did not leave
Philadelphia until o'clock last night
and arrived here at Q o'clock without
mishap.
Owing to the ice the City Ice Boat
No. 3. of Philadelphia, was placed i'm
commission yesterday and began the
work of cutting its way through large
cakes and opening up the channel.
While coming up the Delaware Bay
yesterday the Allen Line steamship
Siberian, from Glasgow TO Philadel-
phia, had her condenser so ohoked with
ice that she was detained several hours
in thawing it out.
The Christiana river yesterday after
noon was jammed with ice from its
mouth almost to Market street bridge
and it was with difficulty that boats
forced their way through it, The Bran
dywine is full of ice. but as it shows no
signs of giving away no fears Of a
gorge are entertained at present.
The Chesapeake Bay is so fun OF
floating ice that navigation Is danger
Gus and It was only after hard work
on the pant Of am ice boat that the
steamers Ericsson and Anthony Groves
Jr., of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. line
were released from a dangerous gorge
