Twenty.-Four t;oal Miners In the 'Lock;
Yerderday about noon a dispatch was re
ceived at the Mayor's office to the effect
diet another - attack by the rioters, on
O'Neill's party, was anticipated. It appears
the funeral of Joseph Belger, the'
Frenchman who ,was shot and killed
. ".
"by Hart, took ' place yesterday.
I f
The remains f Berger.. were , 'in-
,
• "in
terred inn grave y rd near Birmingliarn,and
the funeral was rgely attended by miners
from nearly all tl e works along the 'Monon
gahela. • Many of , these people came"
from points aloove O'Neill's works, and
marched in procession past the latter place,
carrying a flag. When near O'Neill's some
,of the party were heard to make threats.
Many persons residing in that vicinity ;be
came greatly alarmed, and hence 'the ap
plication for a protecting force of our police.
At three r. 31.'a fOrce cif - thirty men, arm
.:erkwith revolVers, started' for thescene of
• the lateziot, - via the . Connellsvilleßailroad.
A gentleman- who accompanied them re
turned to the city last night at a. late hour.
He reported that he left O'Neill's at eight
o'clock. At that time all was quiet. On,
his way back to the city, however, our in
formant learned that a large party of miners
were on their way „up the , river, return., _
ing from the„ ,funeral., , They were travel
ing on foot,. and Would reach O'Neill's
works about twelve o'clock. As these, men
were generally intoxicated, it was thought
-
. that a collision with the police was highly
probable. This, party of miners would
have gorie up on the Brownsville packet,
which started from here at, five o'clock in,
the afternoon' . had it net been that the cap
tain of the boat refilled to land for them at
the Birmingham shore, where they were
• congregated — and making `signals.. ,One of
the O'Neill's was on .board the boat,•anifit
was solicitatioh that the Captain de
alined- to take the miners on board, as it
was feared they would commit some act of
—violence. . - •
• - In this city, during the afternoon, the po
_ lice arrested six coal miners, who had at
tended the funeral under the belief that they
had participated in the riot. Their names
are Chris. Stokes, 'Wm. Carter, Thos. Rose,
Isaac Andrea, Peter West and Con. Brady.
• They are employed at Blackburn's works,
'on the Monongahela, next above O'Neil's
,and evidently belonged to_ - the. ' party%
who used threatening language yes
terday morning. Mr. Blackburn visited the
prisoners in the lock-up last evening. They , •
told him they had followed tho flag, and
that they did not think there was any harm
in their doing so.. These men were arrested
in a drinking saloon near the river, where
Stokes was heard to say that the shooting of
Belger was a deliberate murder. This re
mark was followed by a threat. ,
At a latehonr last night, eighteen miners
were arrested at-the "Old House at Home`"
corner. Grant and Ross streets. They too.
' bad attended the funeral of. Berger and got
drunk, and were expressing themselves
'freely with regard to the riot audits fatal
consequences, generally winding. up'with
threats against the O'Neills. This morning
the prisoners will have a hearing.

and other merchandize, were then brought
into Court and 'teed in the dock for son
toe,mexcept Bird 11, alias "Buffalo Jack;"
who 'oing unwell was provided with a chair
• near the other prisoners.- Judge Mellon,
in sentencing Birdsall, said he appeared to
be the chiefof the gang, and that there was
not much use in addressing any words of
advice to him. He had committed the
crime, fully knowing the penalties that
would attend it t and he must take the con
, sequences of his act. He then sentenced
Birdsall on the first count of the verdict—
for burglary'—to' be imprisoned in the Pen
itentiary for four years, and on the second
count—for larceny-to •be imprisoned for
one year and six months.
His confederates were then severally I

offender an opportunity to reform.
Edward Dawson, James O'Donnell and

same indictment, were eachtsentenced on
the first count to three years in the Peni
tentiary, and sentence withheld on 'the
~.second. Neither, of these lads appeared to
' 'be over sixteen years of age, and there was
nothing in their appearance indicating
hardened criminals. Judge Mellon inpass
ing sentence told them he withheld the
second -count to afford them an opportunity
, for repentance and reformation.

DISASTROUS .FIRE
Nine Dwellings Burriegrin - DuqtiesneDory;
ough—Loss Over V 18,0006 k
A very destructive fire occurred about
one o'clock, yesterday- morninv in the
Eighth Ward, Allegheny, Muquesne Bar
ough,) by which nine dwelling houses were
destroyed. , The preperty. - _,destr,oyeti, was
situated on Main street, running back to -
Pine, "whereon islocatedthe WestemPenn
,
sylvania, - Railroad track.-- - The fire was dig-
covered at about one o'clock, as already'
stated, and :is supposed to have'originated
in the bake oven attached to the residence
of Mr,„l,, , Charles Zeicher. The oven had
been used - on Taesdayevenhig, and at dark
the hot coals and ashes were taken out and
left Mmai
rung near the house, - in a very
careless manner. To this act of careless
ness may-be attributed a disaster involving
the loss of thousands of, dollars, falling
principallY upon poor widows; who are illy
prepared for such calamitous events.
A visit to the scene of the conflagration
enables us to present the following fac4s
with regind-thereto: 2 ' -
The principal loser by the fire is Mr. A.
-Holsteineproprietor of -the Union Tannery,
-whose bark house containing about six hun
dred cords of tan bark, worth about $7,000,
was totally destroyed;logeher with its con
tents. There was an insurance on the above
amounting to $3,000, in the Ben. Franklin
Company of Allegheny. -
, • Adjoining' the bark house was an old
frame building, also belonging to Mr. Hol-
I stein, which was stored with old barrels,'
This was also destroyed: Loss not above
Near the tannery, fronting on Alain street,
stood a small one story frame dwelling
house, which was recently built for Mrs.
Saunders, a widow lady, and into which
she had removed her effects on Tuesday.
Her little hoine is now in ashes, together
With - iflarge portion of tier fintdture: Loss
$1;100'; no insurance. ' .• _
Adjoining Mrs. Saunders' house on Main
'street, was a large two story frame, 'occu
pied by Charles Zeicher, which was totally
destroyed ; also a portion of the furniture.
Loss $1,500. Partially insured in the Ger
man Insurance Company.
The two story frame dwelling of Mrs.
Grew, a widow, situated on Main street,
was entirely destroyed. Loss not ascer
tained. •
In the-rear of Mrs. Grew's was a new two
story frame, unoccupied, which was also
destroyed. _ '
A frame house, occupied by a carpenter
named Wilhelm waft burned.
Also, a one storyframe on Carpenter's al-
I ley, owned and occupied by Mrs.. Bailey,
widow: Loss $1,000; no insurance:
Next door, to the above vas a one story
franie occupied by a French carpenter,
which was completely destroyed.
Still another widow lady, named Rebecca
Wills, occupying a two story frame near
that last mentioned, lost - her home and
nearly sillier furniture.
A two-story frame house on Main street,
occupied by Dir. Miller, was partially de
stroyed. The loss will amount to about
$2;000: -Instired in giGerman company.
• The dwelling of David Bowen, a two-story
frame, situated on Carpenter's alley, is a
totalloss, together with most of the -furni
tifie. - _
In the rear of the widoW • Giay'shOuse was
a two-story frame occupied by a family
named Barclay; which wasburned, and the
-family saved but a small portion of-their
furniture.
The loss is estimated at eighteen thousand
dollars. The buildings were all frame,
owned principally by the occupants, and.
were nearly . .all ,partially insured in Ger
man conipames.
The Allegheny fire cempanies were early
on the ground, and did good service.
The Teachers' Institute—Tuesday's Prom
, - ceedlngs. - • .
In our report of the proceedings of the
afternocm session:cif- the Teachers' Insti
tute, on Tuesday, we stated that the pro
ceedings were disgraceful. From that
statement we have nothing to retract. The
Proceedings were disgraceful in the ex
, m o,
tree,nd . no'hone:st minded person who
heard them could call them anything else.
Such conduct as _took place there might
have been tolerated in a boisterous political
convention, but it is decidedly unbecom
ing in a, convention of schiml teachers.
Neither-party are without blame, nor did
we censure , any one in . particular, and in
this connectiomit is due to Mr: M'Crum,
who has been accused of furnishing the in
formation on which the report was based,
to state that he had nothing to do with 'it.
Our reporter was present 'and, witnessed
the proceeding : The • conduct on the
occasion was inexcusable, and that of
some disgraceful. If such conduct
is to be the rule in Teachers' In
stitutes we would recommend that they be
abolished at once. We contemplated giv
ing a full report of the proceedings, but
doubtless many of those who participated
.4ri-the-..aliameful -, proceedings will:"regret
their conduot consequently "we - refrain,
hoping that we may never witness such
proceedings again in a Teachers' Institute.
Burglary In Greensburg.
It appears from the following, which we
clip from the Greensburg Democrat, that
.

burglars :
The dry goods and grocery store of Reu
ben Shrum, Esq., on Pittsburgh street, in
this place was broken open on Saturday
n4htlast, and a number of articles carried
away. The entrance was effected by break
ing the hinges:off one • of -.the - window shut
ters next the alley, when the window was
hoisted and access gained into the ware
roontinthe rear of the store room. From
there, by thense of a screw driver, the lock
on the •partition- door- was removed, and
thoy had an entrance , to the store room.
Among the, articles missed is about ten dol

Third Day—Morning Session.
The meetingwas called to order by the
chairman. Pray - er by''Rev. Hill, of Mer
cer.- Music furnished* a class of beauti:
, ful young misses from Prof. McClymonds l ,
school, of E ast Birmingham. •
Lecture by Rev. John S. Spear. Subject :
"The School Master " He spoke of the bad
effects of employing. poorly qualified }k i wi':
'ere; frequently makintimprestlone which
require time and effort of: parents or, good.
teachers to. erase. The teacher should be
well qualified for the position he occupies—,
argued• in favor .of recent improvements
in modes- of teaching. In addition
to knowledge 'acquired, • ' the teach"-
er should be, as Paul says, "apt to
teach, capable of goVerning," and the best
index of such a teacher is one that' can
govern himself. The true teacher tries to
make hiss or her pupils feel that what.they
do, is only for their pupils goad. A g,reat
essential of a good teacher is a knowledge ,
of human nature. Different eases in the,
school room require as different treatment
as do the , different _easee.that occur in a
physician's practice: The teacher should
be eminently rnorrif•—a bright gem in so
eiety. A man who possesses a fine intel- -
lect and lacking inmorality is a great de
formity—lacking in that which is essential
to command respect.
Music by class. An able lecture by
Rev. Robert McMillan; subject, "The Mud
Sill. Princtiple of all Right Teaching."
Every tea her, he said, should be familiar
with all they attempted to teach; be so fa
miliar that they could make aplain state
ment of anything that would cone up in
•class. The subjectruust be taught by pieces
or parts, and then be put together, when
all - the parts were understood. The teach
er must have the power of illustrating; ac
curate, plain illustration. The confidence
'of the children must be gained, and this
may be done by being very well acquainted•
with every, thing to be taught in the school
room. The teacher should always study
anew every lesson, in order to give the
pupils that which comes from the running
stream and not from the stagnant pool.
Lecture by Rev. F. Beecner. - The
speaker commenced by saying that in took-,
ing over the audience he was reminded of
a group of sponges which grow in the :led- .
iterranean, being filled every time the ,
waves go over them, and then letting it all
go again as soon as the waves are gone. • In
order to bleach a sponge it is notonly neces
sary to fill them with water but also to
squeeze it out again, so he thought the In
stitute had been getting so much poured in,
that it now very much needed squeezing.
The speaker then proceeded in a very hap-,
.py manner to illustrate plans-of teaching.
Adjourned till two o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The - Institute was'called to' order at two,
o'clock by the Chairman, after which J. F.
M'Clymond's class sang "The Mountatn Bu
gle," from the Nightingale, in a manner
reflecting credit on , their musical talent as
well as upon their preceptor.
Miss Mary C. Hays then read a report on
Rhetoric, which was excellently written,
evincing .great care and study and no small
amount of talent in its preparation, and it
was listened to with marked, attention by
the entire audience..
The Chairman stated that at the sugges
tion of seine of the members, there would
be a slight variation from the regular pro:
gramme.
Prof. M'Clyrrionds' class then sting in a
highly creditable manner -a song from the
Nightingale.
ltev. B. M. Kerr was then introduced to
the audience, and entertained them with an
able and practical lecture on Elocution.
The lecture WAS to have been delivered at
the evening session, but owing to the re
ported illness• of Mr. Kerr's son, which
would necessarily call him from the city in
the afernoon, his lecturewas delivered at
this time. The disconrse occupied' about
twenty minutes, and was attentively listen
ed to by the audience. ,
At the conclusion of the lecture' a recess
of ten minutes was taken, at the - end of
which the Institute was called to order.
Miss Mary Ward of Prof. McClyrriond's
class, then sung "Twinkling little Star," in
a charming manner, displaying musical
talent of a high order, and careful culture.
Next in order came the debate—subject,
"Would a thorough knowledge of the sci
ence of phrenology aid the teacher in his
duties." Mr. Burt in the absence of Mr.
Connolly, whose mime appears on the pro
gramme took the a ffi rmative. He said it
would be absurd at this day to co to the
trouble of establising the science of Phre
nolou't and he would not therefore giye
that point a single thought, but considered , :
it as an admitted fact. He therefore turned
his argument to the usefulness of a knowl
edge of the science to the teacher: Ho did
not think it necessary to study it as a science,
but the teacher could gain a practical
knowledge, by reading and attending lec
tures on the science. His arg,ument,
throughout was strong and forcible, and
highly interesting to the hearers.
Mr. Morrow, who had the negative of the
question, took the grounds that the
once was almmbug c and by - the aid of a
skull and a 13laster model, attempted to
prove his position. His srgnment evinced
careful study and an extended = knowledge
of anatomy and physiology, and occupied
over fi ft een minutes, and many of his
points were well taken. .
At the conclusion of'-the• discussion,' a
recess of live minutes: was ; :takeri, after
which the Institute was Called to order by
Mr. Still.
Prof. M'Clymonds' 'class then entertained
the' meeting With some excellentNocal
music. - • -
Next in order was an essay by Miss Hat
tie M'Cain. Subject: "The Infinity of the .
Animal Kingdom." The production was
highly creditable to the author, and was read
in an admirable manner. .
EVENING" SESSION.
The Institute „met ;at half-past, seven
o'clock, when the preceedings were opened
by the clam of young . -ladies-from Mr. Me-:
Clymond's school, East:Birmingham, who
sang with much effect the song comments
ing, "List to Music Stealing,"
Alias Lizzie Brown now read a • report on
Mental Arithmetic.
Tho Allegheny Quartette Club then sang.
"Dream of Home,". and was immensely
applauded.
Miss Annie Lindsay entertained the In
stitute with a beautiful piece of vocal mualc,
which excited abundant applause from the
audience.
Rev. Themes K. Beecher then addressed .
the Institute. The subject pertained to the ,
education of children. The speaker recom
mended teachers to consult the qualities.
and- propensities of their pupils, and -if
they, observed any sense more prominently
developed than others, to cultivate that
sense, and use it, as a medium • through
which to impart instruction. Thero .bs a
subtle, magnetic tie between the instrtteter,
and the scholar and 'where. this is dis 7
solved, it is useless to continue teaching.'
Teachers should give more attention to.
small matters, and ought to devote Mins:sot
their:time to lessons from nature.
Mr. Beecher was here proceedbig i llut the
audience evincingEonie signs Of weariness,

Local Inspectors Report.
The United States Local Inspectors of
steam vessels, Messrs. U: F. Atkinson and
Samuel Walker, yesterday, presented their
report for the quarter, ending March 31st,
to Hon. Judge McCandless, of the United
States District Court. The report says:
"During the quarter we have inspected
forty-one vessels of all classes, having a to
tal tonnage of 11,581 14 7 100 tons, viz:
No. Tons.
Passenger steamers 14 5,508 15-100
Towing steamers t 25 5,844 01-100
Canal propeller I. 1 29 09-100
Ferry-boat r 99 29-100_
We have issued licenses to seventy-six
engineers and seventy-four pilots; of the
engineers three were original and seventy-_
tbree renewals; of pilots; eight were origi
nal, and sixty-six xenewals. We have re
fused to false the, grade to two engineers,
for incompetency. We have also refused
to renew the license of'one second engineer
because of incompetency. We have ordered
repairs to be made on the boilers of twenty
steamers. ' • .-- ..• •
.After a carefid examination of the hull
and machinery:of the steamer Ingomar, a
packet plyinghetweenthis port and Wheel
ing, we fount' that she would require to be
thoroughly , repaired before being'safe and
seaworthy, her .planking and timbers being
light and detectiVe. We 'so reported her to
:the Supervising, Inspector for this district,
and to the Surveyor of Customs, and served
a notice on the captairi. • •
Since onrlast report four , steamers have
been trunk, three by ice andone by striking
. a pie,r,of -thetailroad bridge over the Ma
noru3ahela river. These boats, with the ex,
eeption of the latter, have been raised. '
One vessel, belonging to this .port (the
Sherman) was 'destroyed by fire while ly
ing at Evansville, Indiana. We are happy
to state that no lives were lost: r'
We have investigated two cases of col-
Haien 'between two rival lines. In ono case
we suspended' the license of, the pilot for
thirty days, and . the other case, was dis
missed. The , damages in both eases were
trifling.

A Colored Genlus.--Charles 13.. 13amsti . y,
a young cnlored roan, dark as the., ace of,

audiences with readings from Shakespear.
He is a marvel in his way, knowing' by

cluding his sonnets. It is hard to conceive
how the memory can retain so Much as is
stored away in the unmistakable African
head of Ramsey. He reads with decided

would' prove a formidable rival to nine
tenths of the., star. tragedians who now
strut the stage. •
