Connty .Seldlers' lillonUmeutal Ai:Sedation—The Action or the Con:Malt: tee at a Former Meeting' Recansidered— Former Acthin Relative to Seleetion of a Location Adhered to Dissatisfaction Among the Committee—Personalities, The action of the" Executive Committee of the Allegheny County- Soldiers' , Monu mental Association, at a meeting held April 9 th; TM. ht !' Which' itivai , diteided to have the .monument erected, having been the cause of very great dissatisfaction to a ma jority . jority of these 'who took an interest in the matter from the beginning, and being un *iz!tigaetorY to the public generally, a meet ing was called Saturday for the purpose • of reconsiderin'g that action, and if possible have some other location selected. Pursu ant to the call the Committee met at the rooms of the Young 31en's Christian ASso ciation, Fifth street, at three o'clock, and on Motion of Capt. Cook was organized by calling Mr. James Park to the chair, and appointing Miss Fowler Seeretary. The reading of the minutes of last meet- , ing being in order the chairman directed them to be read, but no minutes- having been kept, other than the reports as pub lished in the city papers, a motion was made' to dispense with the formality, which was' adopted. Mr. Park presented a communication, ', from the Clerk of Councils- of Allegheny City enclosing a resolution adopted at a recent meeting of that body, granting per mission to the Association to erect the mon ument on any portion of the 'Common Grounds in that city, and proposing to fur nish the stone for the construction of the foundation of the same. The Chair asked "what should be done with it ?" ' - • • • Capt. Dalgleish said that inasmuch as a Committee had been appointed at a meet ing held at - the close of the Monumental Fair to, select a site and receive proposals for the erection of a monument, he would move that the communication from Alle ghetiy Councils be referred 'to that Cern mittee. Gen. Pearson stated that the Coinmittee referred to by Capt. Dalgleish had been discharged at a subsequent meeting. After considerable discussion, in whiclea great deal of ill-feeling and jealousy was apparent, the communication was referred to the Committee on Location,consisting of Mrs. Mcßee, Mrs. Watt and en. Pearson. Gen. Pearson wished- to know what the Committee could do with the communica tion, as a site had already been seleeted. Col. Bayne moved a reconsideration of the action of the Committee in selecting the Cemetery as the place for the monument.' -The Chairman declined to entertain the motion, as the gentleman had not voted in the affirmative on the question to be recon sidered. . Col. Ittiyne stated that he was not present when the - vote was taken, and asked per mission to have his vote recorded in the affirmative, which, on motion of Mr. Jen nings, was grunted. t Col: Bayne then renewed his motion reconsider. , • - • Some objectionwas raised, and consider able discussion ensued as to the propriety of a reconsideration, after which the mo tion was agreed to. Mr. Jennings moved that a Committee of three be appointed by the Chair to obtain a charter for. the Association. Adopted. and Messrs, Jennings, Bayne and Cook ap pointed. A motion was then made .to adjourn; whiMi somewhat alarmed 'that portion of the Committee who were in the favor of placing the moument in the Cemetery; evi dently fearing that it was a dodge on the: part of their opponents to prevent them from burying the fiftythousand dollars in thegrave yard, which was contributed by the people of Allegheny county to erect a Soldiers' Monument. The motion was, consequently, voted down by a vote of nine to eight. Gen. Pearson moved that the Committee on Incorporation be instructed, to prepare an act, to be presented atthe next session of the State Legislature, making the lady members of the ExecutiVe Committee the incorporators. The motion was adopted. Capt. Dalgleisli . nloved that the advertise.: ment for proposals for the construction of the Soldiers' Monument, published in the city papers, be withdrawn for the .present. In explanation of the motion he said, that inasmuch as the Association was not an 'incorporation the members of the Ex ecutive Ccimmittee would be responsible for any liabilities of _the Association, and having reconsidered the action of a pre-, vious meeting. selecting a site, proposals could not be made, as the Committee might possibly select some other site than the one named in the advertisement for 'proposals. .After some discussion the motion was de cided in the negative. Mr. Preston then moved- that the 'trite gular lot in the Cemetery, be selected as the site on which to erect the monument. _ . Col. Bayne moyed to. - postpone the selec tion of a site until the next meeting. - After.considerable discussion the motion to postpone was negatived. The original motion was then taken, up and adopted by a vote of nine to eight. I Captain Dalgleisfrobjecked to l the vote<tif, Mr. Chbilett, on the ground that he *as not a member of the-Executive Committee. He had no feeling In the matter, be said, further than to place the monument at some point Where it would be easy of access, so that the public generally might be satis fied. 1 General Pearson man whOlad.justepakettiwaa :so disinfer ested in the matter and evinced such a Moved .124 his remarks be pat uponrecord; Mr. Jennings called the gentleman 1 to order.. • • ' ' • •• '1• ' The Chairman very,preperly rebuked the Gene* for his nthibitiou of bad feeling by maintaining the point of order. ,He said that the Med remarks ' of Captain 'al' were in , order. - and be could not continue such personalities as had Just been indulged in.

DISASTROUS FIRE . . ...ther.Seveuttur-WardiAM legheny--Stuckratts....k. , eq.'s Tannery Burned—Less 530,0001-Eight Men In. itwed' • A very disastrous fire occurred in the . Seventh ward, .Ilegheny,.l4n(Atit.y. smnrn ing, by • which the extensive 'fitrine'ri , of Stuckrath S. Co., .on Spring Garden Run, was,totally destroyed. About five o'clock in the morning the shed hi which ' the fur:- nace and engine were located was diseovet ed to be on fire. The alarm was promptly given from box 53, corner of Third and _ Chestnut streets, but before the engines ar rived the whole establishment ,was fltunes: - . The building was , a: frame,- two Stories " high, and the engine house, in which the fire originated, was located at one end of . the main structure. The flames were almost immediately communicated to the lower story of the main building,'ln which were stored two barrels of tanners' oil, which took fire, and in tin instant the entire struc ture was one vast sheet of flame. The Grant engine arrived on the ground very promptly and went into service, but so rapid was the progress of the flames that it was impossible to save the tannery, and the 'firemen turned their attention to the surrounding buildings. In less than half an hour from the time the fire was discov ered the entire building, with its valuable contents. was a heap of smouldering ruins. The leis cannot be definitely estimated, as there is a large quantity of stock in the vats the injury to which cannot be ascer tained until it is removed, but it not fall short of $30,000. The building and machineiy were valued at 18,000, which of course is a total loss, and there WAS five hundred cords of bark destroyed, which was estimated at $7,000. The entire stook of hides and leather on hand would amount to $5,000, • a large portion of which was saved. The insurance will not exceed V. 0,000, all of which is in home companies. INCIDENTS. When the fire was discovered a nuniber of persons 'residing in the vicinity rushed to the scene, and sometwelve or fourteen ran up stairs for 'the purpose of removing the stock which.was stored there, and were engaged at work when the oil took fire, and the entire building was filled with a dblise volume of smoke and flame, which was so oppressive as to almost sullecate those who were inside. They , rushed to the stairway by which they had ascended to the second story, but the devouring element was raging to such an ,extent, as to prevent egress at that point, whereupon they rushed to the windows and leaped, to the ground, jump ing on each other in the hurry to escape the danger that threatened them. Several persons were seriously injured, among whom were Louis Craig, who resided in a house adjoining the burning building, and his step-son, Henry Kreiling. Craig, in jumping from the window, broke both bones of his left leg' above the ankle and received serious inter nal injuries, and Kreiling was severo• ly injured in the back and internally. Charles Zander received a severe cut on his right hand from the broken glass in getting out of the window. David Cook, a member of the Grant lire cempany was severely in jured by being struck in the face with a stream from the steamer, while standing on the roof of the burning building. Be was knocked over and was terribly - bruised about the 'arms and face. Several others whose names we could not ascertain were more or less injured, but none of them se riously., Dr. D. 'Rankin is attending Craig and Kreiling. The Pipers Not Paid. A case of no great importance, but which, nevertheless, excited considerable interest, transpired' before one of the south side borough magistrates on Saturday, a brother magistrate appearing as defendant, and a constable (lately, if not now,) as plaintiff: It was a civil suit for debt. Last in the: , exhuberanee of Democratic leaders of the borough over the election of Judge Sharswood, ajollification was sug gested and the defendant proposed a brass band be secured, offering himself to contrib ute a V towards expenses, and speaking for others said they would be likewise liberal. The constable, of the same school of pol itics, and also one of the "leaders," was des ignated to make the arrangement. The result was "the band played, ' and a num ber of keer halls did a , smashing business on the particular evening. The "lcagiPra" forgot "to py the pipers," but the "committee of one"gave assurance that all would be made right in duo tinio. But it was not, and finally suitwas brought against the constable, judgment given for the band, and execution issued. The con stable now sued' the magistrate who had given jndgrnent against him for the five dollars which he agreed, as is alleged, to contribute towards paying the band. and this was the suit the hearing of which ex , cited so much interest on Saturday. Tho magistrate' claThied a set-off, but failing to sustain. it, ,judgment was given for the plaintiff: Defendant appealed, expressing a deterrnmatirrn to take the case to Court, aye, even to the tribunal of which his friend Sharswood formai a component Part. Alleged Swlndlere In Cnitody: Several days since information was made before Mayor Black more by William Euler, proprietor of a cigar and tobacco establish- ment on the Fifth street extension, charg ing Charles Raescher with embezzlement. The accused, it appears, was employed as clerk and had exclusive charge of the bual ness. Some weeks ago he packed up and shipped off the entire stock, and sold a horse, wagon and machinery belonghig to the prosecutor, shortly after which he took his Ileartnro, leaving his employer with about 151.000 less money . than he, should have had. It was ascertained that the swindler had 'gone to St. Louis, and steps • were taken to secure his arrest, which we observe by the following paragraph, taken from the St. Louis Democrat of. Friday, has been accomplished: . • , Charles Ramcher and WM. Moser were arrested yesterday on a dispateh from Chief of Police Green, - of Pittsburgh, charging them -with stealing a large quantity of agars... About , / ##9r. .ot the edgers were recovered.

''OntVe west side of the branch• railroad there are three middle-sized sheds, whose total ea riaoity, is about 15,000 barrels. Near the river bank lie two larger sheds, with a total capacity of 12,000 barrels. Above these, and some distance removed from them, is a large shed for the storage of-crude oil, which is capable/of containing 6,000 barrels: Besides' the - sheds - there is a large tank for crude oil, which will hold about 5,500 barrels. A form pump - is con nected with the, tank, by means of which the oil can be forced to the wharves, where it is placed in barrels for shipment. The wharfage front, which isplaced some distancechit' in the water, is built in, form of a leiee. This is reached-by platfoimpil built. on piles, over which the tramway from each wareliorise nisei extend. -, Tho total available front at present is about 400 feet, but there is ample room to greatly increase it. The total, storage ca pacity of the depot is about 27,000 barrels, but it is proposed to build another large warehouse; which will accommodate nearly: 10,000 barrels more. The total shipments akthitt , place, dUrihg the year ending December 81, 1867, were 105,000 barrels, besides about 4,000 tirr cast e, each containing ton gallons, The shipments this Tear, for the quart ending March 31, have been nearly 17, barrels., • • The warehouses at this place are owned by Mr. Dilworth and the Tack Brothork of this city. Five largi3 vesseld can receive their car goes here at one time. Upon the ground there isa large cooper shop, and an office, which is connected by telegraph with the city. It is evident to a candid observer that the facilities afforded by the depots on the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers render this city peculiarly adapted to the ship ment of petroleum. There is au abundant supply of water at low tide in both rivers, and the depots are furnished with every accomodation for the speedy delivery of oil on shipment By means or the Pennsylvania'Railroad 4 these depots are in direct communication with the great oil region of this State, and that an immense trade is done in this tat weal precliictlhe fioreit readily stanv.

Prem. Grant Street Sewer. We have noticed the fact that on the petition of Dr. A. Arthurs the Court of Com mon Pleas granted a rule on the City En gineer, Mr. H. J. Moore, to show cause , • , why the sewer, cin Grant street had not been constructed in accordance with ordinance of City Councils. On Saturday J. P. Slagle, Esq., city. Attorney, tiled the answer of Mr. Moore to the rule, as follows: • That he bad no knowledge of the exis tence of the ordinance referred to in said petition until the 17th day of April, 1868, when he was informed by the City Attor ney that a petition would be filed to compel him to- perform-the - duties - devolved upon him; that he had no knoWledge Of the rea son why his predecessor in office did not comply with the instructions of thet'Ordi-' nonce, except what he has 'learned from' others; he - Was informed when he took charge of the office that thotigh ordinances directed advertisements to be made by the Recording Regulator, that they were in fact made under instructions from the Street Committee, and that all contracts 'are to be made by order of the Street Com mittee, and thatsuch had been the practite in such matters from the time the power to grade and pave streets was given to Councils; that he has always acted under instructions front the . Com mittee, and does not conslder himself au thorized to act without their instructions; that he has been informed, and believes, that at the time the ordinance was pl6sect the proviso was attached for the reason that the expense of the work was so great at that time, and it was supposed that the prices a work Would be less in the follow ing year; that in the spring after the pass age of the ordinance, a remonstrance was presented to Councils, signed' by nearly all the property holders on said street, asking for a farther postponement of said work, which was referred , by Councils to said Street Committee for thettactioni. and that the Street Comixdttee directed that said. work.stiould be '"postponed, and that said Committee have always reftised - to direct the said work to be done; and he is inform ed and bellevem that the great majority of the property holders are still- opposed to the - construction of - the said sewer; that as soon, as he was notified of, the existence of 'the ordinance, he reported the.matter to..the-Street .Committee and asked their instruction - , whereupon they directed that he alitinkt not advertise for said work at present; !' That he Isitadyand willing to advertise for proposals, and to do' whatever Is required of him in his official capacity, w henever he May be properly' au thorized, and if the Court is of the opinion that Ms his duty '-tee proceed `contrary to the instruction of the Street Committee, he is ready and willing to obey such order- as the Court may make.

'aggregate of business done by railroads in each decade from 1838 would present ~ a rtl- eXhibit that would hardly be credited.: The statement is made in reference to the lines running into Chicago alone, that in 1854 the railroad receipts from Chicago to, i the , Mississippi river were about $1,200,000,, and in 1860 they were over $30,000,000. ' Iffere in twelVi) , years we have an increase mbre than twenty= four fold, and the tWo . "or three 'short, iritide quate and weak ; strap-rail tracks that then ran into Chicago, are, I now supple mented by hundreds of trines of splen didtit rail, which bring t e produce 'of tens ‘. of thousands of . pquare miles into the local point of We ern trade. A I:l:iiliva . y map of the North ;day represents a'gridiron, so thickly:do the liars cross and recross each other. And ye I 'the system is only partially develOPed. ye, spite of war and- disorder, and doubt. in men's minds, - the great work goes bravely!pn. and every day some new point isi reached by the loco motive, and some noW facility for trade is added for the development tff the exhaust less resources of the countrk, The reports of all our railroads show a yearly increase in traffic, and there are many which have doubled their business in the last four or' five years. If stock holdefs do not rec ognize the immediate advantage of this en- hanced business, the countrk certainly feel's it in every fibre.—N.l Y. ildvisrgiser. —The Central Christian diavocate, organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, states that while in 1862' there weie but thirty two ministers; and two thousand one lind- . red and forty-one members Cif that church, in Missouri,there are now 4out two hund-, red niinistei s and twentysix thousand meni bers, an increase of about foUr thousand in" a year.
