SCENES AT NORRISTOWN. Norristown, Pa., February 13. The Hancock obsequies in this city were of the most informal character. The city is thronged with people from the surrounding country. The only services at the grave were the artil lery salute, under the direction of Major Randolph, whose guns arrived this morning from Gerraantown. Ar rangements had been made to have the Episcopal funeral service read at the grave, but when instructions from New York were received, late last night, this part of the program was abandoned, and there were no reli gious rites at the ceremony, although all of the clergymen attended the bodv to the vault. of the Loyal Legion, . as laid upon it. THE TELPHERAGE SYSTEM. s; r sn difirs. beanner a oiacis. cioiu covered bier, came into the room and placing the coffin upon it THE BODY OUT U' the nuuet. BORE The detachment of troops drawn up outside then moved down the winding path to the Chester A. Arthur, which was to receive the party. The mourners were Lieutenant and Mrs. Griffin. Mr. and Mrs. Merriam, Mr. and Mrs. Bouvier, Col. and wife and Mrs. W. F. .Ludlow. Mrs. Hancock, on the advice of her friends, did not leave home. Mrs. Bouvier remained with her. It was precisely 9 o'clock when the first gun fired at Castle William boomed out over the bay announcing that the boat was ready to leave her dock. , The body had been placed in the cabin. A moment later the Ches ter A. Arthur swung out into the stream and steered for the New York shore. At an early hur people began to gather on the streets through which the procession would pass, but the rain evidently had an effect, and the crowd grew slowly. At half-past 1) j'clock the coffin, which had rested for ja few minutes at the barge office, was lifted from the trestle by eight stalwart sol diers, who carried it to the hearse, with four horses attached, which stood in waiting on the plaza, lhe tou companies of the 5th artillery, under the command of Major Richard tt. Jackson, had preceded the coffin and were drawn up in line on the street, while the pallbearers stood with un covered heads as the coffin passed. After a flag had been wrapped around the coffin, the troops broke into column of companies and pre pared for the march to the church. The pallbearers entered carriages and folio wed. the military. A squad or t -1 iL. - A Ci. il, of carriages Eolico cleared the way earse came a long line with the family and friends. ' THE MARCH TO TRINITY. The crowd bad enormously increased as the day wore on, and along State Street and up Broadway the people stood in places seven or eight deep. ;The funeral passed through the lower Telpherage is a new and cheap method of transportation which (has been successfully tried in England, and is defined as the transportation of J goods and passengers by means ot electricity without engineer, brake man, or train attendants. It was the conception of the late Prof. Fleeming Jenkin, and has been Derfected with the assistance of other jugselJ Unen of science and practical electric ians, unni at last a ujipuerctgo com pany has been formed and an experi mental line about a mile long con structed in Surrey, in England. The purpose of this particular telpher line is to carry dry clay from clay pits to a railroad. A continuous stream of light trains is propelled by electricity along an elevated rod. A double set of steel rods, three-quarters of an inch in diameter and eight feet apart, is sup ported on wooden posts standing about eighteen feet above the ground, and an electric locomotive, absolutely con trolled from the engine-house, draws skeps or buckets, hanging by travel ing wheels from the steel line. Each of these buckets weigh 101 pounds, and carries 250 to 300 pounds of clay; but because of their even distribution and somewhat wide separation the train on the steel line is small, al though the, total weight of the train and clay is about two tons. The rate of speed is four to five miles an hour, for which only two electric horse-power is necessary. The electric-motive force is automatically kept the same, what ever the number of trains running, so that the starting and stopping of one telpher-train m no way attects the speed of the remainder. The dynamo can be driven by either steam or water power. The experience in the construction of this line shows that a similar line could now be put up at short notice for a total cost of only $6,000, includ ing engine, dynamo, permanent way, and five trains, with locomotives, to carry 100 tons daily, the working ex penses, all told, being less than six cents per ton per mile upon the ma terial carried. A double line ten miles Case Before tlie Supreme Court of Appeals. The Richmond Dispatch of yesterday says : un ine xyin oi o une, iw. iuo Judge of the Hustings Court of Rich mond, m accordance with the nnaing of the jury sworn to try the case, sen tenced Thomas J. 'Jluvenus to oe hanged fbr the murder of Fannie Lil lian Madison, and November 20th was fixed for jthe day of execulion. Before that day the Supreme Court of Ap peals, upon the prayer of the prisoner, issued a Writ of error and supersedeas to the judgment of the Hustings Court, and about the 8th of March next the case wity come up in the Supreme Court for trial, and that tribunal will be called upon to determine if the judgment of the Hustings Court shall be affirmed or reversed. Thek prisoner, who has been conhned in jail since his arrest in March last, in making his appeal to the Supreme Court presented the bills o exceptions taken durinc the trial on the ruliugs of the Curt, and in bis petition furth er set frth his reasons for claiming that the judgment entered against him was erroneous. Now, Hon. R. A. Ayers, Attorney-General, and Messrs. Charley V. Meredith and W. R. Aylett, who prosecuted the case in the Hust ings Court, have filed their brief, which is, in effect, an answer to the prisoners petition. Upon these print ed statements and such others as may be hereafter filed, and upon oral argu ment, the Supreme Court of Virginia will decide whether the judgment of the Hustings Court ought to be affirm ed or reversed. If affirmed, the pris oner has nothing but the hope of Ex ecutive clemency between him and death on the scaffold. If reversed, the case goes back to the Hustings Court, which will decide whether it is worth while to have a new trial or to enter a nolle prosequi.- , It is (understood that the case will be called for trial in the Supreme Court oh March the 8th; but "whether the argument will then proceed or not will depend upon circumstances. The Attorney-General appears in this case, as he does in all Common wealth cases in the Supreme Court, but it is fair to presume that the labor of preparing the brief has fallen chiefly ; upon Mr. Meredith and Col. Aylett. The brief makes ninety-five pages in print. It is written with that strong grasp, terseness and vigor which char acterized the prosecution in the lower court ;They take up nine bills of ex ception andexamine them one by one. They first address, themselves to the corpus delicti, and declare that "what ever may be the rule as laid down in Smith's case or according to the literal meaning of the words in Rj'an's case, still in this case there is no difficulty, for there is ample proof outside of that connects the prisoner with the case to prove that Fannie L. Madison came to her death by the criminal agency of another." And then they proceed to show and that without introducing the name of Cluverius that the death was caused ))y murder.

Nobody expects that telpherage will come into serious competition with large railways. Its function is to do cheaply the work of horses and carts and light horse railroads. It can be easily put up and carried over uneven ground or across streams, high fences, and will stances they claim, justify them in this conclusion, and they say : "We submit 'that viewed without regard to the proof showing that the prisoner murdered her, the idea of suicide is totally untenable, whether looked at simply i as to the dead body and the immediately surrounding circumstan ces, orl looked at with the additional proofs furnished by her garments, !

From the results obtained in 127 cases of pulmonary consumption treat ed by Dr. tuinlan with mullein alone, he draws the following conclusions, which are condensed from his original article, viz : 1. In the early and pre-tubercular stagejof pulmonary con su j ption, mul lein cjas a weignt-increasing and cura tive power greater than that of cod liver pil, and equal to that of Russian koumiss. 2. In cases where tubercles are well established or cavities exist, the mul lein lias great power in relieving cough a great boon to consumptives, whose weakj stomachs too frequently can not tolerate the usual cough remedies.
