:MISSING MAN FOUND
A Mystery Explained—The Body of An
thony Vreyvegle Found iu thy Ohio lily
er—Canse of Death linknown--tor
onees Inquest to be Held To-day.
The sudden and mysterions disappear
ance of Mr. Anthony Frermegle, a well
known merchant of this city, some three
months since, has at last been partially ex
plained-by the finding of his body floating
in the Ohio river. The manner and cause
.
of his Ileath, however, still, and prob- .
ably, will foreirer remain a mystery.
Whetherby some-unaccountable -accident,
he fell into the 'river and was drowned, or,
being tired of living, he took, upon himself
,
the responsibility, and by an act of his own
passed into eternity; or, what is still more
terrible to contemplate, did he fall' the vic
tim of some foul and bloody murder, com
mitted by some of the many infamous
scoundrels and assassins who, for the sake
of a few' dollars, would hasten the soul of a
fellow man unprepared to judgment, is vet
a secret, which', in all probability will be
buried in the grave with the unfortunate
man, whose sad fate has for months past
created so great an interest throughout the
community, to be revealed ; only on that
- - day when "nations shall be judged, and
every man rewarded according to his
deeds."
The circumstances cqnnected. with his
disappearance have been , so extensively
-commented upon by the publio press that,
our readers are all doubtless familiar with
them and we will not, therefore, enter into
details regarding it.
On Tuesday, January 21st, at about eight
o'clocit in the evening, he left some az
quaintanees on Diamond alley, and started
for home.. Not the slightest neculiarity in
his demeanor or in the circumstances at
tending him' was noticed. After that time
until Friday evening last, nothing was
seen or heard of him. Every , effort was
niedif to solve the' myStety; rewards were
offered, detectives endeavored to find traces
'.. of him; his friends and family, left ,no
means untried to find the lost one, but
their untiring efforts were of no avail, - and
no explanation whatever could be given to
the affair. Many of his friends feared that
he had been foully dealt with, while others
conceived the idea that he had been ab
ducted and confined in some Lunatic Asy
lum; yet nothing definite being known in
regard to him, they were left in a state of
suspense more terrible far than would have
been the dread reality.
, About four o'clock on Friday afternoon,
Jacob and John Lashell and John Hughes,
while engaged in pumping out a flat boat
at Lashell's Landing, opposite, Sewickley,
discovined the 'deadbody of a man floating
in the river - near by, which they. at once
secured, and notified Coroner Clawson by
telegraph, stating in the dispatch that the
body was believed to be that of Anthony
Freyvogle. Saturday morning the Coro
ner, accompanied by Mr. S. C. Trauerman,
of St. Clair street, who had been an in
timate friend 'and acquaintance of the
missing man, repaired to the place, and
after empanneling and swearing a jury
composed. of S. C. Trauernian, Henry Smith,
J. W. Marlett, J. Lane, L. Whitmore and
John R.Coehmn,the body was removed from
the water and examined, when unmistaka
ble evidence or its being that of Mr. Frey
vogle was found. The deceased was dressed
in vest, pants, shirt and beets, the coat and
hat being gone. The clothing was readily
identified by Mr. Trauerman, and one of
the boots bore the patch, spoken of in the
first account of his (3lsappearance. In the
pockets of the pants end vest were found
papers which rendered the identification
complete. All bore the name of "Anthony
Freyvogle." Among them was a receipt
signed by Dr. A. G. Walters, another by
Messrs. Roberta & Koenigk, two by Carson,
Darlington & Co. and by Bakewell & Mar
' then, and two tax receipts. On his persou,
also,was found a handkerchief, a'five dol
lar gold piece, a German gold piece, a cent,
a French copper, a night key, a knife and a
gold watch. The latter had stopped at
eighteen minutes after nine o'clock.
The inquest then adjourned to meet at
the Mayor's office at ten o'clock this morn
ing, and the Coroner had the body packed
in ice and removed to the city, where it
was examined yesterday by Dr. idUrdock,
who stated that he was unable to find any
marks of violence. The holes in the
head spoken of in some of the city papers
as having apparently been made by a bra,
let and buckshot prove to be merely inden
tations of the outer skull, made, the Dr.
says, by coining in contact::with some
pointed and hard substance after'decompo.
• sition had taken place. After the examina
tion the remains were taken in .charge by
an undertaker and were properly interred
at three o'clock P. m. yesterday.

- DISASTROUS FIRE
The Works of the Pittsburgh Bolt Com
pauy,Destroyed—Loss $lOO,OOO--Insur
ance $•10,000.
-'most disastrous fire occurred Sunday
morning, at half-past six o'clock, in the
works of the Pittsburgh Bolt-Company, by
which the entire establishment, and a large
amount of valuable machinery, was des
troyed. The building was a frame struc
ture,. iron clad, covering an area of ninety
-
six by one hundred and thirty feet, and,
was situated at or near the corner of Butler
an d Morton streets. in :the Iginth ward.
That portion fronting on Butler street, next
to Morton, was occupied by the machinery
for cutting screws, and the other end was
used as the business office. In.the rear of
this was the bolt factory proper, where -all.
the valuable machinery for, making bolts,
Nero located, the engine; and-the furnaces , were fixated,
and in the rear of this again was
the blacksmith shop. The - fire, it is
thought, originated from one, of the
furnaces in the bolt factory, as the flames
were first observed issuing from that por
tion of the building. ' The alarm was given
from, box sixty-four at precisely half-past
six o'clock, and in ten minutes thereafter
almost the entire fire department of the
city were on the • ground. Owing to the
fact of the building being iron -clad, - and
the very rapid progress of the flames, it
was impossible to save the building, the
-greater portion of which was in ashes in
Tess than half an hour from the time the
I fire was discovered. The firemen worked
nobly, however, and by their well directed
efforts the devouring element was kept
confined within the iron-clad walls of the
building in which it originated, notwith
standing there were frame buildings within
a few feet of it. The office and a portion of
the screw cutting room,with the machinery,
were also
_saved. The loss is estimated at
$lOO,OOO by the proprietors, but it is diffi
cult to make any correct estimation of it
until the machinery is removed from the
debris,
as it is impossible to say to what
extent it• is injured. The engine, which
was a very :valuable and ,expensive one, is
doubtless ruined, as the badplate is broken
in several_ places, and several other por
tions of it seriously injured _ andit is prob.
able that all the light machinery is more
or less broken or warped as to unfit it for
further use. The insurance will not exceed
$40,000, all of which is in Eastern compa
nies: =
A watchman was kept in the establish
ment, who it appears left the building at
six o'clock, only half an hour before the
flames were discovered issuing from the
roof, which would indicate that the fire
originated very shortly after he left the
building, The fire had ben drawn from
the ibrnace nearest the all on Saturday
afternoon, and the one in which fire re
mained was seveial feet "from anything of
an inflammable nature, consequently the
cause or origin of the fire is something of a
mystery. The however, think
it was accidental.
The Leader, of yesterday, comments, in •
terms of severe but just reprehension, upon
"the various short-comings and positive
neglect" on the part of the stock company
at this House, which • were "plainly visible
to the most casual observer on any. evening
of the past week." Assigning various
causes fot the "spirit of .carelessness".whi eh
has been apparent, our cotemporary re
marks :
"An actor is a servant of the public. and is do
duty bound to use his best endeavors when upon the
stage to please the auditors and earn his salary.
When a member of the profession so far forgets his
position as to perform more for the amusement of
the 'stage hands' or his iellovt-actors, than he does
for his audience, he not only totvers himself in the
estimation of the public but serves in a very active
manner to bring the theatre he may be playing at
into disrepute.
We welcome the _Leader as •a. valuable
ally in the work of reforming that estab
lishment. The people of Pittsburgh are
sincerely desirous of seeing the drama re
stored to a respectable footing in this city.
and gratefully appreciate the fidelity and
directness with which the existing abuses
have been remarked upon by a portion of
the press. The Leader is on the right track
and, sharing with the GAzlrrrn the field Of
impartial criticism, is doing efficient ser
vice toward redeeming the Opera House
stage from the "disrepute" into which it
has fallen.
The funeral of the late Alderman James
L. Sutherland, which took place at half
past two o'clock yesterday from the resi
dence of his brother, Hector Sutherland, on
Grant street, was a largo and imposing one.
The solemn cortege, composed of the Lodge
of Odd Fellows of which the deceased was a
member. followed by a long line of car
rbmes in which were the relatives and
friends, was beaded by the Great Western
Band in full dress, in which order the pro
cession moved to the Allegheny Cemetery,
where the body was interred. The mie
ceased having been- a native of this, city
had a large circle of frends and acquaint.
ances, who Will-regret his untimely and
sudden departure from among them.
The remains of Henry Freyvogle,
found in the Ohio river on Friday,
anan= account - of which we publish else
where,. were , followed to the grave yes
terday by a vast'number of people. The
deceased was widely known thronghoutthe
city, which, in connection with the mystery
attending his death, accounts for the. large
procession which followed the body to its
last resting place.
From the number of prosecutions against
parties for keeping bawdy houses it would
appear as though there was a determina
tion to rid the city of them. Scar cely a
week plumes with one or more informa
tions being rruide charging persons with
keeping honseri, of this eh rracter, so that
the business has become a very unsafe one.
Saturday, Mary Johnston, a White woman,
who it appears has for some time past oc
cupied rooms in a low den of infamy, kept
by Henryand Sarah Cleggett, (colored,) at
the corner of Logan street and Pasture -

PrITSBURGA GAZETTg: MONDAY, MAT . :
Tunbi , EßiiiouEik..LUrider: the most an
noying circumstances
Mr.:Edwin Adams
worried through the moral drama of the
"Drunkard" on Saturday night at this
"high-toned and popular place of amuse-
ment." -"Notwithstanding the harsh criti:
dams or the GAZETTE," there were in at
tendance more empty ohays than we ever
before noticed at this "judiciously managed
place of entertainment." The powerful
attractions of the circus, the new curiosi-
ties of the museum, and the great bill at
Triinbles. were combining. circumstances
to attract elsewhere the I "crowd of
patrons." We cannot h — lp admiring
their good taste, for it was ab
solute torture to keep com any with the
vacant chairs, and put in an hour listening
to the badly spoken Saxon on the stage.
Poor Adams! Desrvedly a favorite here, as
"well as elsewhere, he has meta Waterloo in •
his present engagement, and will leave our
town highly impressed with the idea that
a popular management is conducive to the
success of a popular actor. We have no
heart to criticise the performance, as the
stook company sustained its usual reputa
tion, and not an empty chair ventured so
, much as to hiss, even if they did present,
like the individuals who occupied the laps
of a few of their neighbors, a stoical indif
ference to the_"decidedly clever acting" of
the aspiring tragedians and comedians.
THE ClRCUS.—Thayer ifi.t Noyes' circus
drew a very large audience on Saturday
night in Allegheny -in fillet, one of the
largest we have seen for many years past
gathered- beneath the tent. Everybody
seemed pleased with the varied entertain
ment afforded, and the audience gave fre
quent signs of approval and delight by wild
and rapturous applause. This, afternoon
the first performance in this city will be
given at the Red Lion Lot and again this
evening. This morning at about ten o'clock
the public procession will start from
the Red Lion Lot and move down Penn
street to the river; up the river to Liberty;
up Liberty to Market; down Market to the •
Levee; up the Levee to Smithfield; out
Smithfield to Liberty, and, out Liberty to
the end of that street; then' down Penn
street to the Red Lion Lot. Let everybody
be out to witness the grand cavalcdde, as
seldom. has Pittsburgh been visited with
so grand a combination as this great circus
and menagerie., .
BARNUM COMING.—On Friday next there
will open at Masonic Hall for a few days
a collection of curiosities saved frpm the
destruction of Barnum's Museum in March
last, under the management of the hero
showman. Probably no public exhibition
has ever visited this place so well worthy
patronage, and possessing so many attrac
tions for the curious. Who has not heard
of Barnum's "Fat 'Boy," or of the "Giant
ess," or of the "Albinos,.'': or of the beauti
ful "Circassian girls," or of the famous
"Scotch Dwarf"? each and every one of
whom is as great a curiosity in their way
as Tom Thumb orCommodore Nutt. These
and others of equal interest are in the com
pany which, is to visit us, and we predict
that Masonic Hall will. be filled to its lit
. most capacity by our wonder. seeking citi
zens.
PITTSBURGH THEATRE.—ThisoId and
popular place of amusement, under such
excellent management, continues to draw
largely' from the patronage of its more pre
tentious rival up street. The, bills each
evening are varied and entertaining, and
the corps of clever negro delineators, panto
mimists, dancers and vocalists are quite
attractive.
BURNELL'S MUSEU)h—The; attendance at
Franklin Hall is daily increasing.. The
Musum presents many natural curiosities
and is eminently worthy of a visit.
4 Case Compromised.
A rather peculiar case of assault and bat
tery was brought before Justice Am
mon, of East. Birmingham, which, through
his instrumentality, was comprOmised, and
the parties left the office on more, friendly
terms, if possible, than they had ever been
previously,notwithstanding the fact of them
being husband and wife. It appears that
John G. Kunzman, a young German but
recently married, having some money to
invest, went to the West, purchasek a
•plece of land, and returned for the purpose
of taking his wife and settling upon his
purchase. The wife refused to go, which
so enraged the husband that he forgot his
gallantry and struck her. This was too
much for her to bear, and she went to the
Justice mentioned, stated the facts
and made information for assault and bat
tery: The husband was arrested and when
the case was called up for a hearing, it ap
peared that the wife had tio intention of
prosecuting for assault and battery, but
merely desired •to compell her hus
band to divide what money, he' had
left with her and agree to a separa
tion. This the Justice could - not com
pel him to do, of course, but he reasoned
the matter with the unhappy pair in suCh
An eloquent manner and with-so much
effect, that the husband not only divided
his money with the wife but gave her a
deed for the property he had purchased,
and the wife declared her intentions to 'ac
company "Hans" to the West. The Jus
tice discharged the case and the parties
left the office in the most happy mood im
aginable.

The Fra n klin Exchange, Franklin, Pa
Perhaps the finest hotel structure outside
of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, in the
State, and certainly one of the best man
aged and most ably conducted,' is the
Franklin Exchange, Franklin, Pa. It is of
massive proportions, presenting an elegant
appearance, is admirably located in the
heart of the city, and fitted and furnished
throughout in the highest style of art. The
furniture in every department, the parlors,
dining halls, reception rooms, bed cham
bers and waiting rooms is very elegant, of
the richest modern styles and of most ex
quisite eastern workmanship. The hotel
will accommodate as many guests as the
Monongahela House or St. Charles of this
city, and those who put up at it nave a cer
tainty of receiving the best attention pos
-1 sible. Connected with the Exchange there
is a first-class billiard room,l containing
eight modern Phelan tables where idle
hours, can be whiled away in !Americanized
recreation. The barber shop, bath rooms
; and saloon are all first-class, having metro
politan dignity. The proprietors, Messrs.
Draper it Stratton, fully know how to keep
a hotel and carefully study the wants of
their patrons, leaving nothing undone to
secure their comfort; and enjoyment. The
hotel will receive summer boarders - at rea
sonable rates, and We know of no place
where the sultry weather can more agree-
ably be enjoyed thari in the pretty and in
citing town of Franklin. We commend
the house in no hesitating terms to Our read
ers, assuring them that they will be sat
isfied with its - inanagement, - nleased with
the sumptuous bill of fare'daily afforded,
and delighted—with the accommodations
and conveniences. generally.
