THE KNIFE.
Herloaa Slabbing Affray on Tenth Street,
above Uheannt.
Last evening a serious cutting affray occurred
In Boyer's place, an alley running off of Tenth
street, above Chesnut. A white man named
David Smith was cut with a razor by a colored
man, name unknown. The wound is six inches
in length, and is on the left side. Dr. Ellshaw,
who was summoned to attend the wounded man,
pronounced his condition as extremely dan
gerous. Later In the evening Reserve Officer
Campbell arrested at Fox's Theatre a woman
named Ellen Davis, who was in company with
tie assassin. The testimony of the prisoner was
extremely incoherent, but enough was elicited
to show that there had been some kind of a gene
ral row previous to the cutting. At a late hour
last night tbe assailant of Smith was arrested in
a house on Lombard street, above Seventh. He
f;ave the name of David Lee, and he ocknow
edged that he had committed the deed. lie U
locked up in the Central Station and will be
before Justice Kerr this afternoon.
St. Mary's Hospital. The fourth annual
report of the St. Mary's Hospital Association has
just been presented to the managers, from
which the following facts are gleaned:
This association was organized on the 2d of
February, 1807, and has collected during the
last four years the sum of $14,043 31. Ihere
were received in 1870 by this association 84
patients for full payment, of whom many were
supported by the association three to six months,
and some more than a year.
The following is the financial exhibit:
Taken in during 1870 by the collectors. .$2700 00
Picnic in 1870 by the association and
given for the benefit of the association 1452-47
Total receipts 4158-47
Paid to the Sisters of St. Francis for
patients in 1870 2003-55
Balance for the association 1489-92
Previous surplus 3487-20
Balance, January 1, 1871 $4977-18
This remaining sum of $497718 is in the
sands of the Sisters of St. Francis, and must be
used in accordance with the existing statutes ot
the association for the poor patients whom the
association sends to the St. Mary's Hospital in
Philadelphia. The Sisters, for the benefit of the
hospital, are not required to compensate in
terest. The object of this association is to collect for
the benefit of poor patients, to enlist members
for the association, and also to induce others
eharitably inclined to gifts of all kinds for the
unfortunate. All those recommended by the
members, or the members themselves, have, in
case of sickness, the preference as to the ad
mittance Into the hospital. To become a mem
ber of the association a yearly payment of $3,
or 25 cents monthly, is required. In accordance
with tbe statutes of the association, the money
received by Us members for subscriptions, con
tributions, and legacies is handed over to the
Sisters of St. Francis in the St. Mary's Hospital,
who keep a strict account of the money thus
paid in to them, and also of the money laid out
by them for the patients admitted by the asso
ciation. All patients are received without dis
tinction as to religion or to language. When
patients die in the hospital whom the associa
tion has accepted, without means, the associa
tion pays the expenses of burial, if there should
be no relatives to provide for the same.
The Right Rev. Bishop James Wood, D. D.,
Bishop of Philadelphia, is President ex o.tficio ot
this association. The director is the Kev. John
W. Cerdemann, pastor of St. Bonifacius' Church.
At the late election, during last February, were
elected Mrs. A. Somrner, President; M. Mc
Carthy, Vice-President; A. J. Glasz, Treasurer;
Mies M. Wagner, Secretary. As directors, Mrs.
A. Sommer, No. 1014 North Fifth street; M.
McCarthy, No. 1009 Beach street; A. J. Glasz,
No. 1229 North Seventh street; C. Zuijehoer,
No. 1124 Sophia street; C. Christian, No. 029
East York street: J. Hardlck, No. 507 Reed
street; E. Stoeckel, No. 1229 South Third street.
It Is much desired that the institution should be
liberally supported by its friends. During the
last month the receipts were only $247"10, while
the expenses were $427.

Out In a lot where the Satterlee Hospital
formerly stood, on Forty-third street, below
Spruce street, at 9 o'clock this morning, there
was found an old colored man with his brains
blown out. He was sitting up, with his back
resting against a tree. The top of the scalp
was blown some twenty feet distance. The
brains were scattered here and there, and the
man was literally a mass of blood. The deceased
had undoubtedly committed suicide. His left
hand grasped au old horse pistol. In his pocket
was found a shot pouch, half filled with large
shot. Lying by his side was a soldier's canteen,
half filled with whisky. lie was dressed In an
old suit of soldier's clothes. The Coroner will
hold an inquest.
Disorderly Conduct. John Miller and two
other men were disorderly at Second and South
streets last evening, when Officer Moore, of the
Second district, interfered for the preservation
of the peace of the locality. Impudence was
-given, when the officer and a private watchman
undertook to arrest the peace-breakers. The
watchman received a pretty thorough beating
at the hands of Miller. Tho parties were finally
arrested, and Miller was committed by Alder
man Lutz and the other two held in bail.

BAR MEETING.
ArlUn of the Phllndf Iphln Bur on the Dentil
f jMlae lewie Keselwiteee aa iHpeeckee.
To-day at 13 o'clock noon, a meeting of mem
bers of the Philadelphia bar was held in the
Supreme Court room, for the purpose ot taking
action on the death of the late Ellis Lewis, ex
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania. On motion of Jnd?e Parsons Chief Justice
Thompson was called to the chair. Colonel J.
Ross Snowden and Henry M. Phillips acted as
secretaries.
Judge Thompson, on calling the meeting to order,
paid a tribute to the memory of the deceased and
reconnted several lncideuts connected with his
life which had come within the speaker's personal
knowledge. Ills services to the law and the State
were Incalculable. Judge Thompson and Judge
Lewis were in the Legislature together at the time
of the great excitement on the subject of tho inter
nal Improvements in the State. The two were
placed on the special committee on that subject.
They were also on a committee to visit the prisons
of Philadelphia during the recess of the Legislature.
The? then visited the debtors' department of the
County Prison, and found many there who were
lmptisoped for debts less than five dollars. Judge
LCft 18 framed a repoit on this subject, and drew up
a bill, which was passed, concerning Imprisonment
for small debts, and this was the first step towards
the abolishment of the then very popular custom of
debtors' imprisonment. The speaker then men
tioned tie several oltlces which had been held at
different times by the deceased. He was on the
bench at the time that Judge Thompson was elected
his successor. His judicial knowledge Is an In
valuable lesacy to the legal profession. His deci
sions were always supported by reason, and they
came as quick as lightning.
Judge Parsons made a few remarks, saying that
among all the distinguished gentlemen who have
occupied a seat on tho Supreme Bench, It Is no dis
credit to any. to say that Bills Lewis was pre
eminent. His name and fame will live as long as
our reports are In print. I became acquainted with
him first about the year 1822, In Lycoming county,
where 1 then resided. In 1320 he had a serious ill
ness, which it was feared would result in a loss of one
of his limbs. This catastrophe was, however, mar
clfully averted. Hut while he was 111 he requested
me, who had Just entered the bir, to
take charge of the prosecutions of which he had the
care as the District Attorney of tbe county. This
was a great help to me. He was always ready to
help every young lawyer. The Legislature of which
he became a member held more distinguished men
than have been In that body at any time during the
last fortv-five years. Yet hU tawnts were such that
he held his own firmly against them all. While
President Judge of the courts of Lancaster county
he wrote his celebrated Treatise on Criminal Law.
Judge Parsons then submitted the following reso
lutions :
Whereat. At the ndvanoed affa of naarly seventy-three
years, the Hun. Kill Lowis. late Ohiof Justine of tna Hu
pi erne Court f Pennsylvania, a gentleman who has tilled
many prominent politica, official and judicial station!), in
this Commonwealtn with great efflcienoy.ndelity, as well as
with singular satisfaction to all.wlioaaa man of unblemish
ed moral reputation, and highly esteemed for bis constant
benevolence to the distressed, died at bis residence in
This oily on tho 19th inst., lull of years and honors, it is
but proper that tbe bar of Pniladelphia, a place where he
has resided for many years, shou'd in a pabho meeting,
express in a iittirg manner tboir appreciation of bis excel
lence; therefore
jietoltui, 1 hat in the death of the estimable citizen and
distinguished lawyer and upright judge, we feel the Iohs
of a gentleman who, by the purity of hit judicial life, in
the administration of justice in the various tribunanl
where he has been called to preside, and the profound
legal learning which be has exhibited in all thoso various
stations, aB well as that earnest search after truth and
justice in all the numerous causes which have beon
brought before him for adjudication we say a great man
has died.
Kennlcrd, That we deplore the death of Judge Lewis as
one who, by his research and varied learning, has also con
tributed largely to the medical jurisprudence of tbe pro
fession, to gonoral literature, poetry, and scisnoe, and
who at all tunes had a heart tilled with benevolence ami
kindness for the suffering and aillioted, which was ever
open for their relief.
i . i i .I k., wiiu. ih. k.. a! C,.,. .ill -
recognize Dis kind, urbane, and gentlemanly deportment
to all who, in years that are passed, have bad the opportu
nity of practising in their profession before him, and are
ready in this sad hour to exprss their high appreciation of
nis cnaracier as a juuge, oi ma moral worm, ana as i
Christian gentlemen.
Jtolrcrl. ThBt a committee of seven ba annotated bv
the chairman of this meeting to convey to the family of
the deceased onr deep sympathy with them in tbe loss
they have sustained, a-a that a copy of these resolutions
be presented at tbe same time.
Htsoloml, That in testimony of onr respect for the
memory of our distinguished friend we will attend his
funeral tnia aiternoon.
The resolutions were seconded by George W. Bid
die In a shrt speech.
Judge Porter followed with some personal recol
lections or the late cniei justice.
David Webster, JEsq., also paid a tribute to the
memory oi tne deceased.
Tbe resolutions were then unanimously adopted.
The Chair annointed on the committee Messrs.
Parsons, Bldddle, Porter, end Webster, F. Carroll
Brewster. Mr. Green, of Northampton county, and
Theodore Cuyler.
The omcers or tne meceing were auaea to ine
