rooms, No 4 Daizell's building, Duquesne
Way and Irwin street: H. M. Long, EN.,
President, in the chair.
Mr. A. F. Brooks, Secretary, read the
minutes of the preceeding meeting, which'
were approved.
Major Win. Frew offered the following
resolution :
WHEREAS, The new tax bill reported by
the Committee on Ways and Means retains
the odious principle of discrimination
against the manufacture of refined oil, not
only by a specific tax of nearly fifty per
cent. on its value, but by a series of most
embarrassing restrictions which threaten
the most serious results to the business;
therefore, be it.
Resolved, That the Pittsburgh Petroleum
Association respectfully urge our Repre
sentatives in Congress, Gen. J. R. Moor
head and Hon. Thos. Williams, to claim for,
this important interest_ the same favor
which has been extended to all other man
ufacturers, that of exemption from special
taxation, and a release from the unnecessa
ry and almost impracticable regulations of
the proposed bill.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.-
Mr. Warden moved that a Committee of
live be appointed to confer with our repre
sentatives in Congress in regard to the
above matter. The motion was adopted
and. Messrs. Wm. Frew. James A. Hutch
inson, R. S. Waring, John A.' Warden and
T. W. Davis appointed said Committee.
On motion , the Chairman of the Aasocia
gcntwasadded to the above Committee.

road Company for the promptitude, energy
and
- liberality maid ested by them daring
• the recent disreputable attempt to “corner"
, the refiners of this city, by which we - were
enabled to meet all our engagements.
Mr: Kirk objected to the resolution and
• I • reflected !..umn the conduct of seine of the
members of the Association.

Quarter Sessions Court
• The June term of the Court of Quarter
Sessions commenced on Monday morning,
Judge Stowe on the bench. There are for
ty-three persons in jail awaiting trial for
various charges.
The following grand Jury was sworn:
Charles Hays, toreman; Charles Arbuo
kle, John Anderson, Anthony Anderson,
Robert - Bingham, Charles B. Barr, Wm-
Bissell, Samuel Chadwick, David Alexan
der, John Fitzsimmons, George W. Mur
phy, David McPherson, George W. Riddell,
David Robinson, Martin Salter, John
Smithy. _ •
Judge Stowe delivered the usual charge,
briefly referring to the duties which would
devolve upon the grand jury, and the man
ner in which theirinvestigations should be
conducted. During the course of his re
marks His Honor referred to the charges
of felony upon which the jury would be
called upon to pass, and stated that in cases
where the bill was ignored they had no
right to impose the cost upon the prosecu
tor. In cases, however, where they were of
the opinion that the prosecutor should pay
the costs, they could note the fact upon the
indictment, and the Court would refuse to
allow any costs to be taxed against the
county for the prosecutor's &es. as a wit
nes... The Court also called particular at
tention to the charges of larceny by bailee
and false pretenses,now so frequently 'natl.
tuted, and directed the jurors to examine
closely each case coming before them. The
law had been greatly abused by parties for
private purposes, and frequently - used as a
means for collecting Mere debts where no
criminal offense had been committed. His
Honor directed that the bills be ignored In
all cases where the charge was not fully
made out by the evidence. • k
The jury then retired, after which the
returns of constables-were received.
The remainder of the day was occupied
in heariii,g surety and other trivial cases.
Court of Common Pleas—Judge Sterrett.
Smithson, Palmer dce Company vs. Dr.
It Hostetter. This was an action to recov
er commission for sale of property belong
ing to the defendant. The paytnent was
,refused on the ground that the„purcbaser
at the public sale declined, to receive the
deed of the property when legally tendered
to him. The jury found for the plaintiffs in
the sum of 5151. '
District Court..- Judge Hampton,
. ,
0. Blackburn vs- William Dunsbee.
This -was an action on a promissory note.
Verdict for plaintiff in the stun of $132 80.
There being no Oher case ready for trial,

City Water Extension.
The special committee of Councils, con
sisting of Messrs. W. R. Brown, John
Shipton, Jarneti -Weldon, Col. Andrew
Scott and Richard G. Morrow, accompanied
by Col. Minor W. Roberts, Superintendent
of the Ohio River Improvements, H. J.
Moore, Esq., City Engineer, Joseph French,
Engineer of Water Works, Mr. Wm. Tom
linson, President of Common Council, and
other members of Council, with several
citizens and gentlemen of the press, visited
Fort Herrpn and other eminences near the
city, with a view to the selection of a site
for a distributing basin suited to the feces.
sities of the enlarged boundaries of the city.
At Fort Herron, instrumental observations
were made determining the Fort to be the
highest ground between the rivers.
It remains for the committee, by
further explorations to prepare the
materials for a report, which will
embrace all the needful investigations pre
liminary to the fixing of the point on the
river from which to take the water and the
method of its distribution over the entire
city, urban and suburban. The subject is
one of very great importance to the pros- I
eat and future Inhabitants through all
coming generations, and we trust no pains
or expense will be spar. d to. effect the de- •
sired object in the most judicious manner. I
We have faith in the intelligence and
prudence of the committee, and look to
them for such an exposition of this most
interesting topic as will reflect credit on I
themselves, and eventuate in suchprovi- 1
sions of a water supply, as will be adapted
to both the present and future necessities
of a great city. •
Phonography.
Those desirous of obtaining a knowledge
of phonography, or short-hand writing are
hereby informed of the fact that Mr. S. 8.
Gilson, a very worthy young gentleman,
entirely competent, is now forming aohnis,
and has met with such encouragement that
he will likely commence teaching this evit
fling at Duff's College, in the Bank Block,
.nlTh street,w here be has secured acco ma.
dations. He purposes to give twenty-five
lessons, three in u week, for ben dollars. He
has Just concluded a course of twenty les
iions, and his class, after a rather elatiorate
review of what knowledge they had tic.
.itiired of phonography ' took occasion to
return to Mr. Gilson their heaety acknowl
edgment for his earnest efforts in their be
half, an number of them at once made
application to loin the new cisme, feeling
that with a continuance of his assistance
they would the sooner be able to write
short-hand. We would add. that it is use
less for any one to undertake to• learn pho
nography unless possessed of the essential
requisite of perseverance. Mr. Gilson will
be found at Duff's College any evening dur-
ing the week.
Coroner's Inquest.
An accident occurred Saturday - afternoon

Attempted Outrage
A most bold and audacious attempt was
made to outrage a ' , hung girl yesterday
morning by a .villain. whose entire‘ name
we, were maable to learn'. His first name is
Henry, and he has been recently employed
by Mr. Boyd, a .painter on Ferry street.
The young lady, Matissa 'Whittlell, who it
appears resides with het parents at Shalers
.
ville, a short distance above Tiimperance
ville, where they keep a confectionery,
came to the city to make some purchases,
and was passing along Market street, near
Third, when she % meta boy wh4ihe request
ed to direct her Where she could get some
ice. The boy directed her as requested,
and she stad on her way, and had pro
ceeded but a short distance when Henry,
who it app heard her make the in
:
quiry, came up behind her and touching.
her on the shoulder to attract her atten
tion, told her that he would take her to an
ice h use. -, She thanked him and started
with, him. , He took her down Market to
Second street, and up Second to Wood to a
narrow alley which leads into a dark
court. She preceded him in the alley, and
when about half way through it he caught
hold of her, and with one hand on her
mouth threw her down. She - managed to
get his hand from her mouth , and cried for
help, which frightened him from a further
prosecution of his hellish designs,• and
caused him to run away and leave her.
Her cries were beard by two men who
were passing down the street, and seeing
the'villain emerge from the alley from
whence the screams proceeded in great
haste, they stopped him, but allowed him
to escape on account of his threats to shoot,
ezc. He hastened down Second street to
Market, and was then lost sight of. The
girl went to thq Mayor's office and made
information against Henry for assault and
battery with intent to commit rape.. The
officers know him, and if he has not left
the city r wilrdoubtless arrest him soon.

market an article that is destined to meet
with large sale, as its want. has long been
felt by the housewife. It isa liquid called
"Klenzer," pht up in coaveniently sized
bottles, and designed to efSietnally clean
anti remove all stains and disfigurements
(mu' gold and silver plates and
wares, galvanized or plated goods,
brittania, tin ware, door knobs, stair rods
and every other article of bright metal.
We have tried it in our household and find
it to be even better than was represented to
us, for it acts like magic, removing tarnish
and stains and leaving the surfaceas bright
as new almost the very "moment it is ap
plied. A. feu drops will angle-1Y to thor
oughly clean alarge sized pitcherior silver
salver. It is Just the thing and doubt
less will become very popular when
its great merits are known. The
prices at which sold by wholesale- and re
tail are very reasonable, and if any one is
in doubt of its ability to accomplisba imme
diately . all that it is represented to' do, let
him call and see-for himself at the house
of Breed & Co., and ho will be zntlsfied
that it should finds place in every house
hold.

I No private banking house in. the State
enjoys a higher reputation for solidity of
basis,-carefuluessandliaution , in manage
menfind facilities for the prompt transao
•
tion of financial business of all characters,
than that of Ph. R. Mertz, corner of Fifth
and Wood streets. Having bad large prac
tical experience in every department of
finance, thoroughly acquainted with its in
tricaciesas a science, Mr. Mertz so conducts
his affairs as to win the confidence and a
large share of public patronage from the
community. He does a regular systematic
banking business, deals extensiVely in
Government securities of all descriptions,
receives deposits, transient or on time, at
interest, and attends promptly to all collec
tions at other points left in his care. Hav
ing a very extensive foreign collection
business in all parts of Europe, he possesses
unusual facilities for the transmission- of
money to the old Continent. To travelers
superior inducements are offered for the
purchase of sight drafts, as his sight drafts
on the Union Bank of London, which are
often sold here at rates less than the pre
vailing ones in New York, are promptly ,
honored on presentation in any part of
England, Ireland or Scotland. In conneo l
tion with.his banking facilities, Mr. Mertz
has the agency for all the steamship lines,
esnecially the favorably known and old es
tablished William& Gulon line. He is the
authorized agent for the sale of the Union
and Central Pacific Railway Company's
first mortgage bonds. Gold cheques are
issued on New York, Baltimore and Phila
delphia at rates generally below New York
quotations. Stocks are bought and sold on
commission only. Having had long as
and lealing with Mr. Mertz,we
can commend him as eminently worthy
the confidence and patronage of the busi
ness public.
