* Hugh Morgan, an aged and well-known liquor dealer of the Eighth ward, died on Wednesday from a complication of diseases. Deceased was noted for his deeds of charity.
* Camden base ball enthusiasts receive the score at Fifth and Taylor avenue by carrier pigeons liberated at the Philadelphia League grounds with the results by innings fastened under their wings.
* The Ladies' Base Ball Club was defeated by the Camden Club yesterday. After the game a mob of several hundred boys followed the girls to Haddon avenue station hooting and bombarding them with stones.
* United States Commissioner Cassady yesterday held Thomas Jones, an ex-United States Army officer, in $5,000 bail on the charge of forging the name of Warran Bayman, an Ohio pensioner, to a pension draft. Jones claims that he had a power of attorney from Bayman to collect the draft.
* Frank O'Neill, of Wrightsville, was held in $500 bail yesterday before Justice Plum for assault on his wife. Mrs. O'Neill keeps boarders. She testified her husband collected money from the boarders and squandered it for rum. When she entered a saloon where he was and forbid the proprietor selling him Mr. O'Neill assaulted her.
* Suit was yesterday entered in the district court by Miss Carrie Jones and Messrs. Noaks and Jordan against Policemen Ben Thomas and Josiah Sage for false arrest.

* A warrant has been issued by Justice Hope for the arrest of Harry Fish, of Wrightsville, on complaint of the father of Cæsar Sieber, of Pavonia, who was shot in the leg a few days ago by Fish. Young Sieber and several companions were playing on State street bridge. As Fish passed by in a boat one of the boys threw a stick which struck the boat. Fish fired off his gun, several of the shot hitting Sieber's leg.
