Trying to 'Create
Tuesday evening' , Charles. D. Jennings
abasJacobs; who was committed Jor trial,
on a charge of false pretence, by the Mayor
some time since, on oath of the clerk at the
St. Clair ,Hoter endeavored to 'create a sen
satioriand enlist the sympathies of the offi
cers of the jailby feigning suicide. Jacobs,
it aPpeara, was getting tired of prison life
and was Concocting a 'plan of escape, and
during Tueidar, morning had obtained
toolimitition ofti chisel 'Which had been taken
in by a workman who Was making so me
epairs In the jail: The chisel was Missed
- by the workman, and suspicion at oncel
rested on Jacobs, as he was the onlyperson
who had au opportunity of taking rt. He,
denied having it, however, and was re. !
moved to a solitary cell, there to remain ox
short rations until he ghonld , tell where he
• had hidden the tool., was more than.
'be botild'stand;..aral he at• once resolved - to
get himself out of there , as soon as possible.
He sent for Deputy Warden Smith, =desk
. ed for pap,er,Aoan and ink, saying he wished
to Write a letter:" Mr. Smith furnished
the writing materials and was requested by
Jacobs to rettith in about half an houriliay
- ing-thattiOWtittld"tell Irriffsemething that
_Windititeitlis him very effectually. Mr. S.
told Warden' Semadrett that,. there Was a
humbug Cage of iMitude gomg on in that
cell, and it would be well to watch Jacobs.
At.the appointed.time Dir. Smith returned
to ' the add rofth-d -it full of smoke,
while a small heap of burning" paper lay
smouldering` On the floor. On the floor,
face downward, lay Jacobs, apparently life
, lesit.- Help`Was called' and he was turned
over on his back, but still gave no signs of
consciousness; Examination, ,however,
• proved his pulse to be beating regularly
and with healthful force, while his breath
big he could not make short and irregular,
as he tried to. He was placed in a sitting
posture, but iriunidiately fell over back
ward, when he was caught and straightened
up a second time, and again started to fall,
bat finding that no person was attempting
to catch him, he managed to save himself
from the fall. Dr. McKelvv was sent for,
and after his arrival caused several buck
ets of water to be thrown upon the patierit,
which soon returned hirmto - consciousness:
He then described his symptoms, which
were such as in the Doctor's opinion ren
dered an emetic necessary, and a every
powerful one was administered. The-dose
worked like a charm, but it did not ap
pear that the patient had taken anything
of a poisonous character into his stomach. -
' In one corner of the cell was found a
letter addressed to his mother informing
her that he was about to commit suicide,
with a postscript informing his father, where
to find his Money.
His object was evidently to awaken the
sympathies of the Wa.rden,,„hoping thereby
to be relieved from the, punishment and
get back into the cell from which - he had
been removed, (where the chisel was after
-. wards found,) and ifpossible "work his
4 way ` out." but it - would not "win." He is
not bkely to make any , more feigned at
: • tempti at suicide, as he has not yet entirely
• ; recovered from the effects of the emetic.
Funeral of Mrs. Stockton.
A large concourse of respectable citizens
gathered yesterday at the late residence of
Mrs. Stockton, to testify their. respect for
-her memory ,by going. in procession, with
her remains to their final resting &ice s .
"God'il 'Acre." Rev. P. Clark 'read

." chapter of the husband of the deceased

read to him when languishing in hit( hest'
illness. Rev. Dr. Swift, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Alleghe
ny, of which deceased had long been an
humble and consistent member, then ad
"dressed the assembled
friends in a most
eloquent and impressive manner, recount
ing somewhat of the lamented lady's his
tory, from which we gather that she was
the daughter of , 31r. David Clark, was born
near Washington, Pennsylvania, on the
29th Of -March, 1782, and was married to
Rev.. Joseph Stockton on- the Bth of May,
1800, and removed with him in-'the follow
ing year to the town of Meadville, Crawford
• - county, making the journey on horse-back
and corryin,, ,, her first-born child in her
arms through the intervening wilderness.
In 1809 the family removed to Pittsburgh,
her husband having been called to the
charge of the "Pittsburgh Academy,"
since devehilied into the noble "Western.
University," of Pennsylvania. In 1819 the
• family removed to Allegheny town, since
grown to be a large city, and has ever since
resided in the framer at the corn
erof Stockfon. avenue and Beaver street,
where she Ailed on the 13th inst. Her hus

ture, the author, of, several elementary
school-booksonce in general use, and was
also a faithful minister of God.-. He-fell- a
victim to that dreadful malady, the cholera,
at Baltimore, in October 1832, whither he had
gone to nurse a son, who, though attacked'
by the same disease, survived the terrible
', • ordeal. Mrs. Stockton was left a widow
with four sons and three daughters, five of
• whom still survive her. She was a worn
much Strengthyarinind and firm:
mess of character, - but great kindness of
heart, and truly given to hospitality. It
might be said of her, that to the last "her
eye was undimmed and her strength um
rads" The funeral services were closed

• Most appropriate and impressive prayer and
-benediction. Thus ends the career on earth
'of a most estimable and exemplary Woman,

-By-aspetiatuct of the-Legislature, known
as` the "Livery • Stable Act," applying to

loining. a photograph album, containing

seen the prisoner at the time the offences,
were committed, (6th inst.,) going in and

guilty, and the prisoner was discharged by,
proclamation.

ried it to the Park Exchange; on Grant

turn a vecdict recommending him to the
mercy . of the Court.
The jury, without leavinthe box, ren
dered a verdict of guilty. When called up
for sentence ttio prisoner was asked what
he had to say. He replied that there being
no check on the trunk, lie thought he could
take it and escape detection. Ile- said he
would not have committed the theft had he
not been under the influence of liquor.
The Court sentenced him to ono year inthe
Penitentiary.

dictment chaeging him with stealing a brr,e

fendant had some authority for what he did.
The owners, Gibson (Cc Co., of Philadelphia,
or their agent, had made sonic arrange
tinents with him.
The Court instructed the jury tat they
could not convict under the indictment.

ingly rendered a verdict of not guilty,with
out leaving thebox.

Its Ev - eleis
The Mayor aFull!olice Committee review
ed the pollee fOrce isst,evening, at Wilkins'
Hall, pieparaGryio making several im
portant changes. quite a number of the
the present regular force, we are informed,
are to be discharged and their places sup
plied by men now enrolled as substitutes,
who are to be reviewed at one o'clock p.
m. to-day, when the selections "will be
The police force should be composed of
the best men that can be obtained, and to
render it effective the Mayor should en
deavor to protect and encourage them in
the discharge of their duties. There are
many ways by which the efficiency of the
police may beinterfered with. and perhaps
destroyed, noi Matter what kind of men
compose it,- and in. no way can it be mor e
speedily done than by the Mayor neglect
ingOi. refusing to extend to them proper
protectioM
When an officer arrests a man and con
veys him to the lock-up, it is the duty of
the. Mayor to fine him according to the
enormity'cif the offense for which he was ar
rested, for in so doing he vindicates ths
policeman and encourages him to a faithful
performance of his duty. In every cake
where the Mayor discharges a prisoner
without imposing any fine. upon him, no
matter how small, or requiring him to pay
the costs, 'he vi rtually ignores and con
demns the officer who makes the arrest, and
when the facts in the case warrant a dis
charge the officer should be dismissed.
By an indiscriminate "discharge of pria
oners who have been picked up on , the
streets dead drunk by the officers, and per
haps carried to the lock-up, the officers are
led to believe that they make improper
arrests, otherwise the Mayor, who is sup
posed to know the law,would have imposed
a fine, or at least Tequifed the man arrested
to pay the costs, and are thereby induced
to pass by- the next drunken Man. No
man is fit to be on the police force
who would make an arrest without
some cause and if he did so he
should be dismissed, and' it is the duty
of the Mayor if he finds that there was
cause for the arrest, to fine the prisoner,
and thereby vindicate the officer; but if on
the other hand, it should appear that the
officer had Made the arrest improperly, his
place should be supplied by a better man.
Drunkenness is always sufficient, ground
for making an arrest, and every man who
is brought to the lock-up drunk, should be
required to pay a fine or go to jail, as it is
not only prejudicial to the discipline of the
police force fur the Mayor to discharge him,
but a direct violation.of a city ordinance.

)oenator James L. Graham.
We find the following neat tribute to
Senator James L. Graham in the Harris
burg Telegraph: . ' .
4, A Committee of the Senate, irrespective
of party, presented to the Hon. James L.
Graham, the retiring Speaker of their body,
a beautiful gold watch as a memorial of
. their regard and esteem. -
"It is not alone the Senators who hold
Mr. Graham in grateful honor. During his
term in :the Senate he has secured the res
pect of every one coming in contact with
him. The members of his own party bear
for him the highest admiration, while all
his political opponents honor him as a man
of unsullied purity and fairness.
~ ,N o one who . fills the place which Mr.
Graham is about to vacate can perform the
duties of the office without meeting diffi
culties Which require the highest examples
of courage and firmness, and yet no such
necessary act of Mr. Graham hae been per
formed without the delicacy and kindness
of a true gentleman. The asperities of po
litical partizanship have never brought on
his name the slightest odium; and in a
place where reputations are assailed with
freedom generally, and sometimes savage
ly, no voice or pen has dared to impute to
liim unworthy motives or dishonorable ac
tion.' Ho leaves the Senate—soon, we trust,
to return—as unsullied as any public man
who ever entered public life; and, whether
he remains in political life to exalt it, or re
tires among those who `know him so well
and • love him so profoundly, he carries
with him the best wishes of our people and
the lasting esteem of all who know him."
A Freshwater “Pull."
John Freshwater, charged before Justice
Denny, of Armstrong - county, with seduc 7
tion, on oath of Martha Dunnie, was arrest
ed yesterday by officer Stewart, of Alleghe
ny, and turned over to constable -M . A.
Golden, of Armstrong county, who arrived
in Allegheny. City on Tuesday with a war
rant for his arrest. He wass, discovered by
officer Stewart after considerable search, at
work in a carpenter shop in Manchester,
bid,- it - appears, was anticipating a visit
from an officer, and as soon as he saw Stew
art, bolted out of the shop, with the
officer - close at his heels, and an exciting
chase ensued... Ho was finally captured,
however, and_ delivered to o ffi cer Golden
as already stated. Freshwater has been
arrested three times before on the same
charge--once in Armstrong - county, once in
'Westmoreland county and once -in Alleghe
ny county—but always managed to escape.
He was once taken as far, as the Kittanng
jail,.when he broke fir= the, officer arid
got away. Fm-ling escape in - ipmsible he
entered Mil before Mayor Drum for his. op
peanince at JumoSessions of the Armat —

—Some waggish fellow, assuming to re
present the Ku-Klux-Klan, left his im
print on the fence posts of quite a number
of Republican houses at Meadville, Sunday
night. The notification read; "Tyrants
beware•—K. K. K." There was of course
great consternation among the "tyrants"
upon making the discovery.
