' In the EltzErrE of Tuesday morning we
published an account of a- riot at O'Neil's
• 'coal works, in Jefferson township, which
- was correct in the main, but of which we'
..Were unable to.procure full particulars. It
appears the miners at all the works in that
- Ideality have been "out" for several weeks
on account of a reduction of wages by the
Proprietors mfour to three and a half
:' cents. Th day -. morning last a notice was;..
. found post d on O'Neil's, engine house, 1
f
stating that f his men went to work at the
reduCtion his works would be burned.' Mr.
.O'Neil and hisinen, it : appears, came to
'terms, andon Monday morning they
.
went to Work 'at three and I half cents
-,- per bushel.:. The The miners.:at Six _. : . Mile
'Ferry hearing_ of it, resolved to stop tbem,
and Started to O'Neil's works for that pur -
• Ipose. On their way up they werejoined
by others until the mob numbered from
• two .to 'three hundred. Hearing of their
approach, O'Neil, accompanied by his son
and Wm. - Hart, :the night watchman, re- -
paired to the Works, armed with a,shot gun,
cartklithl(nft , itevolver, resolved to defend
themselves against the attack. When they
had approached near enough to hear him,
- Mr. 'ONeil' orderedthe mob to come no fur
ther, but they pushed on in spite of this,
when - the riot ensued, in which Francis
- Belger VMS killed, and another man re
;---oeived a • gufishot wound in the hip, which
will probablyprove fataL After this the
mob dispersed. -- . Coroner Clawson was no.
tilled of the death of I3elger, and Tuemday
morning proceeded to the:coal works,where
- the body - remained, and held the inquest.

Hart went across to where they were coin
ing up the bank, and told them to go back;
they still came on,
others following them;
Hart and . O'Neil became separated, some
distance apart, when one largeman with a
haversack came on up; O'Neil pointed a
carbine at him; he still came on towards
O'Neil until he arrived so close that O'Neil
pinched hint in the neck with the muzzle
of the gun, when he caught hold of the
gun, and another man behind him struck
O'Neil on the head with a club; O'Neil fell,

Dr. James A. HerroNsworn—l made an

tery was severed, which caused his death.
„,..lt.wsulqpr94l l 4 o ,internal hemorrhage; two

,
" tart' statement=-I am in the employ of
O'Neil, as night watchman, at present. He
took me up to the pit to help protect his
property yesterday. The men came to the

As previously stated Mr Hart gave him
self up to the authorities, and is now inthe
lock-up awaiting a hearing. He does not
deny firing the fatal shot, but says he did it
in self defence.
There has been'no further deinonstration
on the part of the rioters, and no further at
tack is apprehended. Mr. O'Neil's men
we learn have been armed; and will be able
to resist an attack of any ordinary sized
mob.
The a'bove is but the legitimate results of
a Coal Miners' Union, when controlled by
ignorant men, which we fear is toooften the
flank of Commerce Building, Corner Sixth
and Wood Streets.
It is a matter of congratulation with all
persons interested in the growth of our
city, and its character as a commercial
- centre, to know that on all of our principal
thoroughfares there are springing up, in the
way of elegant and palatial structures for
trade purposes, new and certain evidences
of prosperity and ,business activity.
.Our
facilities for "mercantile transactions are
daily becoming more varied and extensive,
• t ,
and. the enhanced _value ot real estate in
various quarters,, as shown by recent sales,
, . .
goes to prove that the necessary capital is
forthcoming on all occasions to make our
city metropolitan in its character. Among
the more recent improvements in this line
is the magnificent new business edifice,
which has just been completed, on the cor
ner of Wood and Sixth streets, and which
rivals in point of architectural beauty- and
finish any building devoted to business pur
poses in this city. Itsowners, the National
Bank of Commerce and General George W.
Cass, have spared neither capital nor time
to render it a monument to their own good
`taste and enterprise and a credit to the city
at large. , Under -the, immediate direction
and superintendence of the gentlemen Com
prising the building' committee entrusted
with the details of its erection, Messrs. Al
bert Patterson, President; and Charles
Lockhart and James McCandless, Directors
of the Bank, the building has been com
pleted in a style -of exquisite beauty, at
the same time presenting a massive, solid
appearance.
The building is five stories high and in
. something akin to the Grecian style of ar- -
chitecture, the, architects, Messrs. Barr &
Moser intrOducing many pretty features,,
blending, original ideas with standard
designs. The contract for building was
awarded the favorably . known master
builders, Boyd & Son, at .$52,000, and We
marvel how they reared so tine a structure,
on those figures. On Wood street: the
building presents three rooms, handsoinely
fitted out for business purposes to which
they will be devoted. On Sixth street; in
addition to the windowed side of the room
to be occupied by the bank, tbere is a store
room fronting that thoroughfare. All of the
first floor apartments are supplied with
French plate glass windows of large di
mensions, set in iron frames. To
a height. of twenty-five feet tfrom the
ground the building is of finely cat. Free
port stone, presenting a very solid appear
ance. - .At several places, both on the Wood
and Sixth street sides, project neat . little
balconies, with tasteful iron railings, adding
effect to the general imposing appearance of
the structure. ...The . four- upper sto
ries are of fine Philadelphia pressed brick,
a very superior article, and the openings are
enlivened by cut stone facings. The build
ing is supplied with a heavy cornice, which
1 is surmounted with an elaborate brick liar
, apet. Upon the whole the building is a
1 -model of beauty and proportion.
The apartment to be occupied by the Na
' tional Bank of Commerce is in the corner
building, owned exclusively by it, as well
as the buildings which it adjoins, is situated
on the corner of Wood and Sixth streets,
having a front on the former and running
to considerable along the latter thor
oughfare. It is elevated five feet from the
ground and is approached by cut stone steps
with bannister which leads squarely from
the corner of the streets: This we think is the
only building In the city with such an en
trance, and the idea is a capital one. The
`banking room, occupies two stories-of the
building, thrown into one, and is
consequently large, -airy and heart
some. . The floor -is covered with
tesselated marble, and the woodwork
throughout is of rich black walnut, trimmed
with maple and ash. - Thert depends from
the ceiling a magnificent bronze chandelier
supplied-with twelve ;ets. - The walls and
ceilings are virgin white, with high polish,
which afford pretty effect in contrast with
the dark wood of the window frames, coun
ters, desks and doors. The vault is one of
the most complete ever built in this city,
and will successfully defy either fire or
burglars. It is large and built from the
ground up on solid flagstones laid upon
each other. The shell into which the iron
frame of the safe (one of Burke dt Barnes')
was placed was built up and over with pon
derous blocks of Freeport stone which never
could be thoroughly heated by, hottest
:fire or,diig through by the most experienced
burglars. In this iron vault is placed
another fire proof safe, and still again with
in the latter is a burglar proof safe,
wherein the funds of the bank will be kept.
' To the rear of the counting room is a
washroom impplied with light and water
for the use 9f the clerks unit officers of the
bank. Above the counting room, at the
first landing of it'graceful pair of stairs of
solid walnut ' wood with handsome balus
trade, is a platform with railing around it,
which will answer the purpose of an obser
vatory for the Directors to overlook the - pro.
ceedings below, or hold communication
with accountants. To the rear of this are
two rooms - elegantly _furnished and c.ar
.peted, which-will be occupied as the Direc
tors' room. This, as well as the en
tire building, is heated with steam and sup
-I.plied with water. An ordinary- find water
l'clOset is in close .Proximity to these apart
ments. . Upon the whole the new banking
pia& is one of the finest' in the country,
and should be a matter of pride to all Pitts
burghers; The bank will take possession
of its premises to-day, and `we wish it an
increased patronage. Few institutions of
the- character are better conducted, and
none are more reliable and accommodating.
The directors and officers are shrewd and
competent, business , gentlemen, of -large
means and ' experience , - and , .are - , deserving
the utmost confidencs of our mercantile
community.
The Sixth street store in this magnifi
cent building is occupied by the branch
house of Julian Allen, the extensive dealer
in leaf tobacco and cigars, No. 172 'Water
street, New York, and will be in charge of
Mr. Daniel F. Dinaa. Here dealers and
others, will .fiud •ra large stocker pure Ha
vana leaf tobacco and cigars which will be
sold at the lowest prices. This firni has suc
ceeded In building _up a large patronage in
this neighbvhoodiand in their new quar
ters will by"better prepared for the proper
transaction of their rapidly growing trade.
The Fort Pitt "Binking Company, an• in
stitution representing large, capital and ono
in which the stockholders, men of almost
unlimited means, are individually liable to
depositors, will occupy one of the Wood
street stores,"-while the celebrated Fair
banks Seale Company will occupy the
other. ' -_
In Concluding tour: notices, of thia new
block of buildings, we feel that it will be
but an act of courtesy
. to compliment th e
architects and , mechanics who , have m-
bined to prOduce such an ornament the
t "
city. They are. all deserving of credit for
the excellent manner in which their work
had been Performed. We can here only re

PITTSBURGH' GAZETTE: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 1, 1868.
A Conflict:of Antheritylgovelrreceeiling.
_
Legal, proceedings of rather a novel char
aCter' were inatituted before Ablernian
Strain, yesterday, by J. J. Shutterly, of
Lawrenceville, against the agents of the
Pittsburgh Gas Company. A ' - company
entitled "the Lawrenceville Gas Company". .
was chartered by, thaState Legislature, and
a short time before Lawrenceville was con
solidated with the city, an ordinance passed
the Council of that borough granting said
company the right to erect gas works and
lay pipe on certain streets in said borough.
After • the Isfirough had beeirconsolidated
with the city, and it was represented in the
City Councils, an ordinance passed that
body authorizing the Pittsburgh Gas Com-.
pany to extend their pipes through Law
renceville, in accordance with which the
work has commenced, and. is now within
a few feet of the old borough line. Yester
day Mr. Shutterly made intormation against
the agents of the Company, charging them
with trespass and nuisance—trespassing,
we presume, on the chartered privileges of
the Lawrenceville , C7ae CoMpany,--andthe
nuisance consisting in• obstructing the
streets. This may be the proper method of
procedure; but if so, it is certainly pre
mature, as the information, which is dated
March 31st, alleged that the offense charged
had been committed, when in fact no offense
against either the citizens of Lawrenceville
or the Lawrenceville Gas Company hiss
been committed, as the workmen have not
yet reached the borough line. The Alder
man, With a posse,lwoceeded tothe ground,
but finding that no Work had been done on
the disputed territory, returned with the
intention, we are informed, of making the
arrests as soon as the work is proceeded
with beyond the_old borough line. The
matter will doubtless be brought before the
Courts for adjudication, but this appears a
novel method of reaching that end, and the
idea of instituting a criminal proceeding
for an anticipated offense of this , character
is certainly a novel one. • ••
Death From Exposure and Destitution.
Alderman Irwin yesterday held an in
quest on the body of Mary Ross, familiarly
known as ".Wild Mary, the Rag Picker."
For many years previous to her death she
made her living by picking rags 'through
the city, whichiwere conveyed to her home,
on the Spring Garden Plank Road, by three
dogs harnessed to a small wagon. She
was about fifty years of age, and from al
ingot constant exposure ,to all , kinds . of
grown •w her, had quite in fi rm, and some
of her neighbors proposed Sending her to
the City Home. She refused to go, however,
saying that she was able to sup
port herself. She resided in a mis
erable hut, :with no company save
her three dogs, who shared the house With
her. Monday morning she did not make
her appearance as usual, which caused an
examination of the premises to be made,
when a miserable picture of wretchedimss
and destitution was presented. The un-.
fortunate woman was lying on a -Mle of
dirty rags, dead, surrounded by her three
I half starved dogs, and front indications life
had been extinct for some time, so that it is
probable she died Sunday night orMon
day morning. The jury found that the
"deceased came to her death from sickness
superinduced by exposure and want."
In a New Place.
Among the changes on Fifth street we
.
notice that our friend - Mr. - P. H. Me.Guire
has taken possession of the elegant room
No. 105 Fifth street, recently occupied by
Chatoney, the former agent of the Grover
& Baker Sewing Machine Company. This
commodious apartment has been thorough
ly refitted, and may now be -regarded as one
of the finest business rooms in the city.
Mr. McGuire will hereafter Barry on his
business, that of general confectioner and
restauranter, in such style as will render
his place popular to all classes. He will
serve up meals, ice cream and refreshments,
at all hours, and keep constantly on hand at
fine aisortthent of mites and general sweet-I
meats. Elegant and private apartments
have been reserved for the ladies, and under
no circumstances will any intoxicating bev
erages be sold on the premises. We trust.
Mr. McGuire will receive the patronage due
his energy and enterprise and the high
toned character of his new business place.
•Still They Come."
John Walls, the proprietor of a bagnio
drinking house and gambling hell, in an
old canal boat Moored in the Allegheny
river, at the foot of O'Hara street, has, it
appearS, struck a streak of ill luck. John
has been having things his own way for
several months, or we might say years, but
if there is any virtue in a Multiplicity of
prosecutions ho will receive a check, ere
long, which will put an end to his nefarious
career for a time at least. Within two
week past we have reported no less than
six .informations pgninst him for various
offeneks, from 'keeping a bawdy house, to a
breach.of the peace, and the number still
increases. Yesterday Margaret McWil
liams made information before Alderman
Strain, charging Walls with selling liquor
on Sunday, and also with selling liquor
without license. - .He was arrested•and . held
to bail for his appearance at Court.
'Beautiful Wall Papers.
The changing of dwelling places to-day,
will give a new impetus •to many lines of
trade, and especially to that department
which embraces the wallpaper and window
shade business. Readers desiring anything
in this line, are respectfully referred to the
card of the old and reliable house of W. P.
Marshall, No. 87 Wood street, near Fourth,
which appears in another column. This
house has strengthened itself for the Spring
trade with a very largo and magnificent
stock. of,Foreign, and American wall par.
perk of very beautiful styles, and ranging
prices to suit everybody. For variety
and beauty, the stock of wall paper and
window shades will compare favorably with
any west of New York. Throughout
it-is an extensive one, and parties wishing
to purchase will do well toscall and exam-
Ike the goods and prices. .

The National Insurance Company.
The affairs of the National Insurance
Company, of Allegheny city, have been so
cleverly managed since its organization that
it now ranks second to no other institution
claiming the patronage and confidence of
the business community. It has been care
ful to make no extravagant or injudicious
adventures, but on a safe basis has trans
acted its business in such a manner, as .to
not only.prove remunerative to stockhold
ers, but like Wise secure "for itself a reputa
tion for solidity which few corporations of
much longer standing have obtained. The
company has entered into the Spring trade
strengthened and prepared to take risks on
property of every description against tire, at
most reasonable rates, and from our actual
knowledge of its management we can com
mend it in the highest terms to our read
ers. The President and Directors are among
the solid and substantial representative
busincsi' men of our sister city, and their
names are a sufficient guarantee of the high
eharacter and reliability- of the - company:
Our friend, James E. Stevenson ; Esq., the
Secretary, will be found at the office of, the
Company, in. the Allegheny Trust Compa
ny's building, willing to'aflbrd all required
information to those who may call. '
