Railroad Accident.
On Saturday. night, about eleven o'clock,

Railroad, slighly intoxicated, when a pas
senger train came along, and he, not hear.
ing or heeding the -alarm, was knocked
down and had his right arm run over by

terrible manner. Drs. Sutton and M'Cook

'shoulder, and the injured .man was then
conveyed to Passavant'sHospital,where be
Is doing as well as could be expected. He
Is about thirty years of age, unmarried

Nupposed Larceny of_Sllver Ware.
On Saturday a man came to the fruit stand
of Mr. Pulpress, in the Allegheny market,
and sold to the son of the proprietor a all
,
ver napkin ring for twenty-five cents. The
' young man suspecting that all was not
sight, informed the police of the transac
tion and gave a discription of the man. Tes
..
terday afternoon about 2 o'clock one off the
police arrested the man in the First wird,
Allegheny. When bronghtto the office and
searched a quantity of goods was found
about him, all of which no doubt have
been stolen. i The goods consisted of a
• linen table cloth, three new unhetnmed
• linen handkeibitiefig, half dozen silver tea
spoons, half dozen tablespoons, five silver
forks, a call bell, and a small nail= brush.
The spoons were stamped with the initials
"H.,"
and the napkin ring was marked
"B. M.ll.—from Brother." The owner of
the articles can have them by calling at the
Mayor's office. The prisoner gave his name
as Patrick McCloskey, and gave several

which are very plausible. He Was locked

PITTSBURGH GAZtITE : MONDAY, JULY 13, 1868.
aikido of Jeanie Mper—Corosers
quest.
The facts connected with this singular
affair are still freidi in the minds of our
readers;and we need not rehearse them
here. On Wednesday, the day on which
she died, the Coroner impannelled a jury
( to investigate the case, and after viewing
the body the inquest was adjourned until
Saturday at two P. M. On . Saturday,the
inquest was held, at which the following
testimony was elicited: - •
Dr. W. K. Harnaten. sworn--On Monday
morning, shortly after nine o'clock, I was
called to• see Jennie Miller at the Union
Depot; found her laboring under the effect
apparently of an overdose of opium; s.s
soon as possible I administered emetics,
the effects of the poison having affected her
constitutionally; we endeavored to keep
her awake by having her walk over the
floor, parties assisting her until she was
entirely pOwerless; • water was iiashed
in her face, and she was rubbed; we kept
her breathing by this and other means; at
times it was with great difficulty we could
keep her br . Cathing; from 5% to 7 o'clock
In the evening we could raise her without
much trouble; about 9 o'clock she was able
to speak, reaction liaving come on; I then
had hopes of her recovery; she vomited
incessantly through the night and during
the next day; on Thursday morning the
powers of life failed and she sank rapidly
-and died about 10 o'clocx; the poison seem
ed to kill her by poisoning her blood, and
she had congestion of the brain, liver and
nngs; the amount taken was about two
birds of an ounce.
Examination resumed—Do not think she
I. adpiny other disease; did not ask her if
she ad improper connections with per
sons,' do not think she was fn the family
way; did not examine her before or after
her death.-
James:Bacon, one of the young then who
had been keeping company with the de
ceased, testified that the last time ho saw
her was on Sunday evening, at Mr. Low
rie's house in East Liberty, She was well
at that time, and told him that she wanted
to get rid of Mr. Quinn, and thought he
would go home. I heard that she was
poisoned, and came to the depot to see her;
she said she had her lessons for killing
herself, and that she did not want anybody
punished - for what she had done. Quinn
said they were engaged to be married, but
she denied it; she was witlrhim in Pitts
burgh _on the Fourth of July. Her state
ment to me' was that she proe'ured the
laudanum in East Liberty, by sending a
little girl to a drug store, giving her
twenty-five cents, and requesting her to
purchase that amount. Her companion;
Mr. Quinn, was with her when the pack
age was given her by the little girl; he
asked her what was in it; she said, cordial,
and she was going to take it when she got
home; she took the landanuna at the sta
tion, when ne was not seeing her, and he
did not know she had taken it; she handed
me [the witness] the bottle. [lt was here
produced by the witness, and was about
one-fourth full. It contained the label of
R. M'Clarran, Druggist, East Liberty, and
a printed'direction as to the doses required
to be taken by persona of various ages.] I
visited her on the evening of that day.
John Cardiff; a cousin of the deceased,
was examined and testified that he shw
Miss Miller on Monday meriting about two
o'clock. She got him his breakfast, and
he came to Pittsburgh. Quinn 'and Miss
Miller were together the same morning at
seven o'cWck, when he returned from
Pittsburgh; saw therWat Mr. Bown's gro
cery store in East Liberty; I beard about i
one o'clock that she was poisoned; she said
about half an hour before she died that she
was tired of being knocked around, and
that Quinn had nothing to do with it; Mr.
Quinn stop at the same house, and al- ,1
ways ed there When he was in East
Liberty; Mr. Bacon appeared to be liked I
by her better than' Quinn was.
James Lowrie, thegentleman with whotit
the girl lived, was sworn, and said that on 1
Monday morning, about two o'clock, she
came to his bed and told him not 'to wake
her as usual, as she did not want to see
Quinn; she slept in the same room with
witness. About six o'clock Quinn came
into her room and took her by the hand
and pulled her up, and asked her to go to
the station with him. She had ' 1 sown
with her clothes on. It was repotted that
she had taken poison some time ago at
JOhnstimn. • • •
- Cardi f f was re-called and testified
thSt he never,knew of her taking poison
before, but she was sick last winter, and
her brother-in-law found in her pocket a
lozenge, which was said to be a love pow
der, or Love lozenge, and thatthey had bet
ter have it examined., It was shown to
Miss Miller, and she said she would attend
to that.
This closed the evidence' and the jury
rendered the following Verdict:
•That Jennie Miller came to her death
by an overdose of laudanum, administered
by her own handi, on tbe fith ofJuly, death
resulting therefrom on the Dth of July, at
the Union Depot, Pittsburgh.

Out or Jail and in.
It is said that there is a time •to laugh
and a time to cry. Patrick Leonard must
have realized the truth of this old . , proverb
on Saturday, for it seems that both . occa
sions occurred in one short day of his life.
Patrick having been discharged •from
jail, where he had been serving a term for
larmny, thought he at least ought to smile
to express his joy at release, and he ac-'
cordingly did so. Strange to say, how
ever, the smiling was just the reverse of
making him good humored; in fact it made
him quite bad humored and , cansed him to
commence an onslaught on officer J. H.
Behsen, which resulted in his arrest on an
044 c irm
information fo assault and battery pre
ferred by tb officer before Alderman
Lippert. A h Thg was had in the case,

DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATE& what
it has done, what is doing, and what it
, will do. By Ransom H. Gillet, formerly
I Registrar and Solicitor of the United
States Treasury Department, etc. Pub
lished by D. :Appleton, & Co., New York.
For sale by Henry Miner, Pittsburgh.
The publication of this *ork at this time,
especially as' the National Democratic Con-
vention is Aialloting for Presidient and Vice-
Piesident at the time this notice is written,
is significant. By Democracy, of course,
Mr. Gillet means the prilieljiles of the Demo
cratic pirty, and his book Is a defence of
that .party and an outline,of its history.
The fact that Mr. Gillet wagfor a long time
a prominent and active politician, he has
had ample opportunities to fit himself for
the duty of writing such a book. Demo
crats will find this a valuable work for ref
erence, and others can see the principles of
that party well set forth.';
TEE MODERN REPRESENTATIONS OF THE
LIFE OF JESUS. By Dr. Gerhard Uhlhorn,
First Preaoher to the Court. Pub li shed
by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, Mass.
It is rarely that 8( 4, 1, much thought and it
gument is embraced in the compass of such
a small voluine, as the one before us.
Every lover of evangelical truth will hail
its timely publication, not only for the sue-
Cesiful refutation of the teachings of Re
nen, Shenkel and Strauss, but for the valua
ble arguments fhrnfshed to hand to resist
such views as were taught by them. The'
first discourse is a review of Renan's Life of
:Jesus. The second attacks and exposes' in
a very satiikctory manner .the heresies of
Shenkel and Strauss. The third vindicates
the truth of the Gospel. .The last discourse
isOpen mericales. We hope the work will
have a wide circulation. •

This series of text-books were prepared
by the authors to supply the want, of an ele

these Sciences have been so rapid of late:
years that teachers have felt the need of
just such books as are , embraced, in this
series. The common sense method of deal
ing with' th e topicb discussed, freshness,
vigor, and' clearness of style, are highly

Physic comprises three volumes, namely
Chemistry and Electricity; Sound, Light

tricity. These topics are thoroughly elabo
rhted, and elegantly illustrated with one
hundred and twenty-two Cuts.

forms the second volnme in which the na
ture and propagation,of sound and musical
instruments; nature and propagation' of

ies, and therial instruments, are treated ful
ly. Nearly two hundred illustrations are

WHEN a Frenchwoman quits Paris , for

ravages i at such undue, hours as she would

goes to his chateau; she must go to hers.
And echo comes from every quarter of / in
supportable dullness, proving how incom
patible the French nature is with country
