Ai:Sedation—The Action or the Con:Malt:

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

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

The Point Catison,Coal Oil Ilepot.
-z The depot hite4tfe4 on the West bauk
fie Sc ►lylklll'rl46, about one-half 'of
mile',abs Airlthin E
short distaitte of the Philsulelphiai% Wil
mington, and fialtiniQre Railroad, and a
branch of, the Pennsylyania Railroad runs
'the centre of the wo'rlia. ''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

three principal depote, during last year,
was 700,000 ,barrels, and for the first quar

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. But believing that ,
he has no right to proceed without author
ity from said Committee, ho asks that the
ti pet tionerition be dismisSed at the costs of the pe,.
. dismissal
The motion for d 'Was placed on

National Growth. .. '
-v.:- -11:-. - . .r- - ' - '
- - Nothing ninreashinishingiy illustrates the
growth of this country duripg the last few
years than the marvelous. increase in the
Ilk
business' of the railroads. '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
