acts of violence were committed, and the
I result was that one of the attacking miners
was killed and another dangerously in
jured. After repeated warnings, Mr.
DlNeill, it is claimed in self-defense, raised
a gun and attempted to discharge it. Fol
lowing this he received a blow or blows
and was rendered insensible. Wm. Hart,
in the employ of Mr:' O'Neill, •then. dis
charged a double-barreled shot gun at the
attacking party,-with the effect.4ated.
The indictment in the'easels for riot, and,
in it is included .a count for aggravated'
assault and battery. A plea of "not guilty"
, was entered by the following named de
' fondants:: Thos. Nixon, Joseph Armen,
Jonathan Tillott, Geo. Briggs, Anthony

The motion was overruled.
Mr. Kirkpatrick opened the case 'to the
jury rather elaborately, regarding it as of
more than ordinary importance in this lo
cality, and gave a brief outline of the cir
cumstances attending the riot or disturb
ance which resulted in the taking of one
life and the endangering of two others.
The following was the evidence elicited:
John O'Neill, sworn—l' am in the coal
business—proprietor of what is called. the
Pine Run Coal Works, in Jefferson town
ship, this county,. three, miles above - Mc-
Keesport and about twelve - miles from the
city. On Monday, March 30th, part of my
diggers, who had isaen on a "strike," , agreed
to go to work; some had cleaned up their
rooms in the pit, and some had put out a
wagon or two; by noon they had all come
out of the pit; while at dinner I saw a body
of two or three hundred men coming up
the road, marching in army file, with a very
beating red
When fla at their head and a drum
they came up ,
to my house
they turned square up the railroad leading
to my coal pit: a public road passes along
aide the railroad; the track crosses the road.
My son, Wm. Hart. (my night-watchnum),
myself, and one or two others started to
the pit on a locomotive and arrived there a
little ahead of the crowd, having passed
them about half way. ) I baited them, ask
ing "what do you want; where aro you go
ing?" (We had intercepted them on their
1 way to the eheek-house.) They said they
, wanted to see my diggers; told them my
diggers were not in I the pit; they asked
1 where they were; told them they wore
around on the_ hill side, that
, they might go and talk to them as
, much as they _pleased, but they
, could not come up where I was, at the
,cheek-house; - they said they would Goma;
told them they would come at their peril—
that some of my property had been de
stroyed, and that a notice has been ost
ed on my engine that my works w p ould
be dastroyetU Kept them at bay for about
half an hourf.and went down the hill to
where they were and reasoned with them.
They werebrmed with clubs, apparently.
newly made. Some of the crowd had whis
key, and others sat down and ate cakes,
cheese, etc. Some of the crowd, who bad
been behind came up cheering, and the
large proportion started off in, another di,
'rectionctd the right:l Suspecting; that they
designed to make a flank movement by
getting on a bench of the bill, behind us, I
told my son and Mr. Hart to remain where
they were, and I started to head them off.
I was a little too late; the crowd got ahead
of me as I had to cross a ravine; I raised
my gun and told the crowd to keep bac k i.
they paid no attention, and I snapped the
gun at a large man in front; he caught hold
of 'the gun by the barrel, and give 'me a
swing, and at this moment . I received
a blow across the head - and was
knocked;,'. insensible ' , ,At, ' the , time
I raised he gun the rmd. In . front of
me were as thick as' they well could be. I
was picked up by my son and conveyed to
a neighboring house.. When 1 told- the
crowd that a notice had been put up on my
engine boussthlitiny works would be de
stroyed, they replied that my works should
never = run any more eoal—that they
would mark me—and made other threats.
I have seen many gatherings of coal dig
gers during "Strikes,'t but this crowd was
the worst I ever saw—they used bad lan
-gauge,- flourished,. plubsl.over their - heads,
some of 'them had whisky, and they ldoked
to me dangerous; some did not appearto
Come up, when;others would , call them
"cowards". and throw sticks and stones at
them. and at one time ',thought they would
get into a row amortg.theinselVes On this
account. At the time I was knocked down
the flag was at the 'foot of the hill; the
crowd pretty much all started up the hill,
cheering. They had` a Captain and other
officers; the Captain, when they came to the
railroad track, halted them, and "squared
them - 'rowdy in military fashion. [The

Made; some one said if they got Held of

Dr. J. A. Herron, sworn—Was ca ned in
to see John O'Neill shortly after he was in
jured; thought him dangerously hurt, and
recommended that the family physician be
sent for. O'Neal _
Capt. Denny . , sworn—Am a son of
John O'Neil; was in the army three years
and thirty days; was at home at the time
of this disturbance, on the. 30th of March.
The first knowledge I had of the procession
of•men was obsemig it come up the river
road towards our works; heard a drum
and saw a red Sag; themenwere marching
in regular file; I was standing on the "tip
ple;" informed my .father who was at
dinner; the procession was ' halted by the
captain when they came to the Tailread
track, and with a yell the crowd started up
the track. Father and I and William Hart,
night watchman, got - arms, two guns and a
revolver; got on a locomotive and started
up the railroad track to the check house,
passing the crowd on the way; after pass
ing the crowd, they crossed the run and
started, with a dash, for the check house.
We arrived before them, and when they
came: _ups father halted: them,. And asked
what they. wanted; they said they wanted
to see our diggers; we told them there
were no diggers in the pit—that they
had all gone home. They , then made
threats, called my father bad names,
and made an attempt to come up the bill.
We presented our "field pieces," and they
fell back. They then called up to Laugh
lin, one of our diggers; Laughlin said he
was going to work ; they asked him at what
price; Laughlin said three-and-a-half
cents ; they called him a "slack-leg," and
said that our works should not run. After
further parley they said they had clime
to talk to our diggers; we told them
they ctune in a very disorderly manner.
Finally some portion of the crowd,
Who appeared drunk, came up from the
rear, yelling and flourishing clubs; the
mob then separated, some going to the right
to "flank" us, and some to the left. Father
went to head off the flanking , party ; I told
Hart to follow him; ae he might get into
trouble. Seeing that the great body of the
crowd had gone to the right, I started after_
father and Hart, and when I 'came up saw
that some of the crowd had father down,
and were beating him. Hart bad a gun,
and was motioning to a man in front of
him (the one who was killed, named Bul
ger,) to keep backl,Hatt raised lie gun,
but again drew it .baok ; the man still ad
vanced, and Hart fired ; a second shot was
fired, and , a man was wounded. I drew
my revolver and fired at a, man in
front of me, the ball taking effect
in his head and passing over the scalp; he
ran down the hill. Observed another man
with father's gun, pointing and snapping
it at me; I drew my revolver, but it missed
fire, and noticed that the cylinder would
not work; picked up a stone and threw it at
the man; he dodged it; threw another
stone at him, and he ran down the hill.
ent to where father was, raised him to
his feet, and examined to ascertain how he
was hurt; found in his pocket a small
Smith & Wesson revolver, which I took
and tired at the crowd, whi ch by this time
was retreating hastily down the hill and
up the run. • Previous to the shooting, in
the parley with the crowd, I told them they
would come up the bur at their peril—that
some of our property had been burned
about a month before—that 'threats had
been made to burn more—that they should
not come up the hill under, any circum
stances, and that I would shoot the first
man whocame 'up. I had a revolver in my
hand;
„my father had a Spencer carbine. The
captain of the crowd asked whol was, if I
was one of the nbosses," and spoke abbut
the coal exchange; said he would mark me,
having drawn a revolver on him. Before
attempting the flank movement, they said
they would come again better prepared.
[Witness identified Pryor as one of those
marching with the crowd.] Father was
badly bruised about the head, on the lams
and on the legs. and was confined to the
home for three weeks. From the check
house to the ploint where my father was
knocked down is one hundred and forty
nine yards.
Cross-examined—The crowd said they
came tp talk with our diggers; told them
they came in a very abrupt and ungentle
manly manner.
Mr.. - Kerr—ln military style?
Witnem—Not'much military.
Mr. Kerr—Not according to tactics?
Witness—ln a sort of rout Mop. '
Mr. Kerr—Do not coal miners usually, in
their processions, carry flags, and march to
the beat of a drum? .
Witness—Delloye they do.
Mr. Kerr—Had not this procesaion a flag
' —the stars and stripes?
Witness—Yes; a very small one; could
hardly Bee it.
Mr. Kerr—What proportion of the crowd
were French? - -
Witness—They were made up principally
of Irish and French. ' •
Dr. McGrew, residing about five miles
from the coal works, testided to the nature of .
Mr. O'Neil's injuries, and to his attendance
upon•him. He was in a dangerous condi
tion, and a week or ten days elapsed before
he was able to be about : much. :
Wei. Hart, sworn—This witness corrob
orated the testimony, of Mr. O'Neill and
son. After detailing what took place up to
the tit=he of the utlank•niovement," he said
rho followed after Mr. O'Neil; saw him pros-,
trate; and men around him "beating him as
if ho were a snake." Witness hada gun in
his bands , and encountered. a large man
with it club in riht hand' and coat o

Pittsburgh Female College.
The grand finale of the commencement
exercises of this well managed popular in
stitution took place last night in the Col
lege Chapel. At an early hour the spacious
room was filled to overflowing with an in
telligent and appreciative audience.
The entertainment commenced with
music on the piano "Variations from .
Norma," hV Misses indsley and Kimball.
The graceful manipulations of these fair
ones showed careful training and a degree
of perfection rarely attained by pupils of
their age. Prayer was then offered by Rev.
John McMillan, of tee Reformed Presby
terian Church. after which Miss Sevilla F.
Bonney performed "Hexameron" in fine
style and much to the delig H ht of the audi
enceads—Hands,"
was then delivered by Miss M. Au
gusta Mitchell, -. /of 'Harrisburg, Pa.,
followed with a soeg="Te Alpine Morn
(ill
ing"—by Misses Cgra Br wn and Kimball.
This song was rendered n fine style. Miss
Louiseard, f Allegheny city,
read an essay end ed "Beautiful Women."
At the close of the reading• of the essay,
Prof. Blessner, and one of his pupils, Miss
Cunningham, rendered "Galop—Camillo'
with exquisite touch. This piece is one of
the many composed by Prof. Blessner.
By reiluest. Miss Kimball sung a piece
which hadelicited so much admiration and
applause on Weesday evening. , The
order. of the ex wises was resumed by
Miss Eliza C. M era, of Pittsburgh, who
had given the Lati Salutatory the previous
4: 1
evening with such grace, by her reading an
essay enitled "Th Keystone of the Mind."
Miss Emma P. Sayer. daughter of Porter
Sawyer, formerly f city, sung beautifully
"Glannetta," at the close of which, she was
greeted with much applause. The closing
essay—"My Booth in Vanity Fair," with
Valedictory Address, a brilliant effort, was
read by Miss Mary E. Radcliff of Pitts
burgh, followed by "The Prayer of Moses,"
by Miss' Anna Endsley, and daughter of
Rev. A. J. Endsley, Presiding Elder of
Pittsbuh District, M. E. Church. Miss
Endsley rg r
has are musical talents, as h
performances clearly indicate.
It is such an extremely delicate duty to
note individual performers, and lest we
-may make invidious distinctions, we prefer
to group the essay readers ' together.
Widely different as the subjects were, each
one of the fair essayists presented her re
spective theme' in excellent language, well
constructed and exhibiting thought and
well disciplined minds. The ease and grace
of the fair readers, modest bearing, and
well modulated voices deserve commenda
tion.
Rev. Charles A. Dickey, pastor of the
Fourth Unite Presbyterian Churc, Alle
gheny, delive r ed an address to the h gradu ,
ales, replete with well chosen words and
well adapted to the occasion. The remarks
of the reverend speaker were listened to
with marked attention, and elicited much
commendation. Throughout there was an
elevated moral tone, worthy of the high
functions of a Minister. At the close of
the address Miss Cora Brown sung "The
Swiss Girl's Dream," one of Prof. Bless
ner's compositions, in a charming manlier.
President Pershing then conferred the

At the close, Prof.- Blesanor and Mrs.
Blessner performed "Homeward," com
posed by the Professor, with signal ability
of touch and execution. The musical de
partment during the paat year under the
direction of Prof. Blessner, assisted by his
wife, and Miss Ernest, and . Miss Cora
Brown, of the vocal department, has been
a grand ovation 'throughout, establishing
the character of the Professor as an artist of
superior merit. The grand Chiokering
piano used at the differoa. public perferm
ances during Commencement Week, which
called out so much praise for its beauty of
tone, was kindly furnished for the occa
sion by the Messrs. Chickering, of Boston,
through their agent in thiscity, Mr. Charles
C. Mellor, on Wood street.
After "Homeward" was performed,
President Pershing presented the "Holmes
Prize" to Miss Eliza C. Myers, of Pitts
burgh, a copy of "Shakespere's Poetical
Works,'''' for superior excellence in the
Latin language. The English essay "The

lady, was a superior composition. Miss
Ettio Perviance was presented with the
"Poetieal -Works' of Walter Scott," being
the Mrs. Bishop Simpson Prize for Mathe
matieal proficiency.
We note with pleasure in closing the ac
count pra t he commencement exercises, that
much se is due to President Pershing
for the high tone this College has obtained,
and we regard it as an honor to our city,
believing it equal to any Female College
in the country. The year has been a bril
liant success and closes with a brighter fu
ttirtithan ever before hilts histery. The
next term commences September 2d.

To cure every disease in the long list of
maladies to which human flesh is heir; is
an impossible thing, nut there are in the
higher walks of profeSsional life those who
can master most afflictions Included in the
category. There area men who have de
voted. themselves exelusivel3r to science,
given up the best portions of their lives to
the careful study of the ,human frame, - the
furietions of its various organs, their prone
ness to attack and ability to re -sa under
the influence of agents assisting nature.
They know every bonie v inusele, nerve and
sinew of the body, and before the applica
tion 'of their knowledge most forms of dis
ease, must disappear. To such -a class
belongs Dr. E. S. [Alsorn, whose office
is at No. 134 Smithfield street. Dur
ing._ the past two ; years he has been in
our midst enjoying a highly successful and
lucrative practice, moving and recognized
in our first circles of society as a bright
ornamentto his pro ession. He has been
particularly sue. • - ul in the treatment of
disease, especially t • affections of the, eye,
ear, throat and lungs, and is• worthy the
large share of patronage . :directed towards
him.
