MNSECSATION.
Interestl-g Ceremony Consecration of
Very Rev. T. Mullen. of Allegheny City,
as Catholic Bishop of the Erie DiOCESC.
• To fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death ,of the able and pious Bishop Young
of Erie, Pa., the Pope of Rome several
months ago appointed Very Rev. T. Mullen,
of Allegheny City, over that diocese. This
seleetion was heartily endorsed by both
clergy and laity, as no Catholic priest in
this section of country possesses higher
order of learning or more liberal and gen
erous nature. He was fairly idolized by
This congregation, and in all elements of
society, amongst Catholics and Protestants,
he ha's been regarded as a man of great Pow
er and sterling worth and integrity. That
his consecration as Bishop in St. Paul's
INCathedral yesterday should have attracted
a very large audience was not strange, as
aside from the pcimp and grandeur of the
ceremony, there were hundreds present to
pay personal tribute to the recipient of the
high 'ecclesiastical honors of the Church.
In order to avoid the confusion incident to
such occasions, the managers of the pathe
deal saw proper to charge an admittance
fee of one dollar as a donation to the or
phans, but even this precautionary measure
did not prevent the spacious church from
being uncomfortably well filled. incident
ally we learned that over one thousand dol
lars were received at the door—quite a
handsome amount for a praiseworthy ob.,
jeot.
The services commenced at half past ten
o'clock, and continued until two. Rt. Rev.
Bishop Domenec officiated as Cbrisecrator,
assisted by Rt. Rev. Biahop Wood, of Phil
adelphia, and Rt.. Rev. Bishop Rappe, of
Cleveland. .The Deacons of Honor on the
occasion were Rev. E. F. Garkuld,. of this
city, and Very Rev. Stickel - , of Allegheny.
The Deacon of the Mass was Rev. M. F.
Devlin, assisted by Rev. J. NOlan as Sub-
Deacon. Rev. P. Ward.,was Master of Cer
emonies,and Rev. T. O'Connol and M. B.
Ferris ssistants.
On the:left "of the altar, a temporary altar
had been erected for. the candidate, and
was suitably decorated. I
The, services commenced with the _en
trance of the Bishop and his assistants and
the Bishop-elect, attended by numerous
clergymen, many of them of high distinc
tion, and all clad in fall vestments. While
the procession was entering, the Papal
March was played by the organist and
band.
•, After the Bishop elect had been presented
'to the Consecrator by the Assistant Bish
ops, the Apostolic Commission presented,
the oath taken, and the examinatien made,
Solemn. Pontifical Mass was celebrated.
The mulec was mainly from Haydn's Muss
No. 2, but included, the Credo, from Mo
'zait's Twelfth Mails. The annointing of
the head and hands of the candidate took
place, accompanied by the most impressive
ceremonies. At the conclusion of the con
secration services, the Te Deum was sung,
,while the Bishop passed through the con
gregation giving his blessing. •
The sermon on the occasion was preached
by Rev. S. Wall, President of St. Michael's
Seminary. The discourse was a most able
and eloquent one. The power and the holy
character of the ,Church were dwelt upon,
and the newly made Bishop was exhorted
to fulfill all the duties incumbent on his
new new position, and see to it that the Church
should be the gainer and not the loser by
him.
Attending in the sanctuary, besides the
clergymen already named, were Rt. Rev.
'Bishop Lids, of Fort Wayne; Rt. Rev.
Bishop Shannaha, of Harrisburg; Rt. Rev.
Boniface Wimmer,O. S. B. Mitred Abbott,
of St. Vincent's Monastery, near Latrobe;
Rev. Celestine, 0. S. B.; Key. Polar Mor
gan, Rev F. Tracy, of , Alabama- '
Revs.
Hickey, Burke, Devlin, Kerr, O'Shea,
Gibbs, Phelan and Kearney, of the Pitts
burgh Diocese; Rev. Mitchell, 'Hey. Burns,
and Rev. T. Ryan, of Summit; Rev. Tobin,
Curate'of St. Patrick's; Rev. Carroll, and
Rev. Mullenberger, of Fort - Wayne; Rev.
Croade, of Erie; Rev. Crody, of • Sifgar
'Creek; Rev. Twigg, of Altoona; Rev. Gal
laher,'of Huntingdon.
The Vesper service in the evening was
largely attended, fully two thousand - per
sons being present. The house was brill
iantl,y lighted,'while the central altar was
one blaze of burning lets. The newly con-.
secreted Bishop, Rt. Rev. T. Mullen officia
ted, , assisted by a number of clerical at
tendants. The pulpit was occupied by
Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, who deliv
ered a powerful and eloquent sermon based
on the important and august ceremonies
of consecration which had been witnessed
in that Cathedral during the day. After the
benediction of the Blessed Sacrament the
Congregation dispersed. Rt. Rev. Bishrip
Doinenec, and his assistant clergy, are en
titled to the credit of the pomp and mag
nificence of the solemn and impressive cer
em.r,y, which was one of the grandest and
maat august ever witnessed in the Cathe
dral.
CoWlagration in Alleghpy—Utility Works
BUiped.
' Between nine and ten o'clock on Friday
,
night a fire broke out in the foundry de
.,
partment of the Utility Works, corner of
Fulton and Juniata streets, Sixth ward, Al
legheny. 'The building was a two story
&eine i and contained a large quantity of
patterns, &c., which were packed on the
second floor. The, flames reaching them
spread, with great rapidity, and for a time,
it seemed as if, the entire works, in con
nection with the adjoining buildingsmould
be destroyed. The fire department was ,on
the ground in full force, and as the part in
which the fire commenced was partially
separatiid from the other portions of the
works by , a roadway, they directed their
efforts to confine the flames t 6 their origi
nal place,' in which they partially sue-
Ceeded. -The .works I were owned by
Messrs. McLean and Slater, who were ex
lensively engaged in the manufacture of
small castings, such as bedstead. Castings,
captors, &c., of which they have on
hand . a large stook. The greater portion
of the works, with the entire machinery,
was destroyed, , which will throw• about
forty petsons out of employthent. At
present no correct estimate of the loss can
be liadebut it will not fall far short of $25,-
000;on which thereis in New York compe
nies an insurance of $15,000. The general
imprmion regarding ,the origin of the fire
is that it originated from some heated cast
ings thrown near some patterns, but this.
of course, is only supposition.
Conjugal Fetidly.
Quite an • amusing scene occurred in a
Wylie street ice cream saloon, on Saturday
night,yhich served to prove that matri
mony is not always to be considered, the
happiest'` lot of • man. Tho saloon was
crowded with visitors, and at one :of tha,
tables sakaiespectable looking gentleman
who looked sufficiently strong to protect
himself against all ordinary danger. As'
he was gingerly spooning his ice cream, an,
infuriated -woman came with rapid steps to
hiaside, and exclaiming in a shrill, sharp
voice, ,41 ;Now, you're a , pretty husband,
are'nt youi Itergeating ice cream and, put
tlxit on style, while I am` all alone • at,
home," pro ceeded to cuff him about the
head: With a parasol she ;carried in• her
hands. Tkepoor fallow, as demure as a'
kitten, followed her home,.and a shout of
lautchtet followed :the Olmsted couple as
they left' the saloon.

Mysterious Disappearance.
, Saturday evening a well known resident
ofAllegb env city mysteriously disappeared
under circumstances which lead to the be
lief that he has been foully dealt with. It
appears that about nine o'clock •on the
night mentioned, Mr. Williatn Plankerton,
a butches doing - -business in the market,
left his stall, market being over, and
started to get his horse and wagon, which
were at the stable connected with the Cali
fornia Ho s e, on the south-east „corner of
the Diamc nd. He seem to have gone ,di
rectly to the stable,: as he was seen
by the hostler, whom he ordered to feed the
horse. He then sat down by the stable
for a few minutes and acted as if sick. The
hostler put several questions to him to
which he gave no answer, which mused
the man to go into the tavern and speak to
the•proprietor, Mr. Ffsher, asking him to
come out and see what was the matter with
ti
Plankerto . Mr. Fisher started out a - few
t
minutes fter, but met Plankerton, who
came th ough the house and passed out
from the bar-rolim going towards Ohio
street, since which time nothing has been
seen or heard of him. When he went
away from the stall, his coat and vest were
left hanging on one of the hooks as though
he intended to return in a . few minutes.
He had With him the proceeds of the even
ing's salts, and it is supposed. some other
money, the exact amount of which is not
known. The journeyman whOm he left at
the stall to await his arrival with the
wagon, stayed there until about eleven
o'clock, finally going over and getting it
himself to haul the things home. The min
ing part was a strictly sober dud indus
trious man, and during the evening sta
ted nothing unusual was noticed about
his conduct to attract attention further
than his interview with the hostler,
which facts lead to the supposition that he
had been foully dealt - with or put an end to
hie existence during temporary aberra
tion of mind. He was about forty-five
years of age and leaves a wife and three
children. The affair is shrouded iu mys
tery, and seems when all the circumstances
are known, a very remarkable occurrence.
Diligent search has been made in all pro
bable quarters, but this far nothing has
been revealed to throw any light upon it.
The Spruce Alley Vacation.
.1:n the Court of Quarter Sessions, on
Saturday," an opinion• was given in the
case of the Commonwealth vs. William
Smith, against whom an indictment was
found for maintaining a nuisance in closing
up Spruce alloy, Ninth ward. A special
verdict was rendered_ in the case by the
jury, and on the points of law reserved
the following opinion was delivered by
Judge Stowe:
it were not tor the proviso in the act
of Assembly under which the defendant
claims Spruce alley to have been vacated,
requiring the consent of the Councils of
Pittsburgh to its vacation before it became
absolute or effectual, this prosecution could
net be sustained against defendant; but as
the very terms of the act require the assent
of the ''Councils to the vacation before the
act took effect, and no such assent has been
given as was contemplated by the Legisla,
ture and is, required by the provisions of
the law, the defendant stands, so, far as this
case is concerned, in precisely the same
position as though the -act had not been
passed, and is tnerefore guilty of nuisance
as indicted.%
“As the Sole object of this proceeding is
to test the legal rights of the city of Pitts
burgh and the defendant in the premises,
and it is clear the defendant acted in good
faith under the opinion that the law gave
him the • right he claims, the • sentence of
the CoUrt is merely nominal as to line.
“The judgment of the court, under the
special verdict as found oy the jury, is,
that William Smith is guilty of nuisance
in obstructing Spruce alley in manner and
form . as indicted, and that he pay a fine of
one dollar and the costs of prosecut;on, and
that the nuisance charged in the indictment

The Perpetrator at Large.
Saturday afternoon a serious stabbing
affray occurred in Allegheny which is likely
to result fatally to the victim. It seems
from what we could learn of the case that
a colored man, (we did nit learn his name,)
was driving along the Butcher's Run road,
in the Seventh ward, when he wasapproach
ecl by three men, one of whom asked him if
his name was Williams. :Being an
swered in the negative, the interro
gator, it is said, 'without any provocation
stabbed him in the bacx, inflicting a, very
serious wound. The inAiretkruan was con
veyed to his residence and medical aid'
summoned. The perpetrator and his com
panions in the meantime made good their
escape, mid ;notwithstanding all the vigi
lance of the police, nothing has been heard
of the party since. The victim, it appears, •
can give no particular description of his
assailant, 'which fact renders iiis:arrest
very difficult. Grave fears are entertained
as to the final termination of the affair, the
injury being of such a sertous character as
to render the life of the injured man very
precarious. . •
Injunction Applied For.
In the Court.of Comnion Pleas, on Satur
day, a hill in equity was - filed on be
half of James Andrews, in which the
Court FS asked to issue an injunction re
straining Thompson Bell and Robert Pol
lock from interfering with a road leading
to complainant'sproperty. The bill sets
forth that the properttof complaimmt,•sit
uated in the Third ward, Allegheny, was
purchased from Thompson Bell, and that
according to the terms of sale, a road was
laid out leading to the same, and on which
te right of way was granted. Since that
time, under the direction, it is alleged; ; of
Mr. ell, Robert Pollock has had:the fence
erected along the line of the road as a pro
tection torn, down,. and has altered the
road bed. thus .dessroying complainant's
means of access to his property', The ar
gument on the motion for an injunction
was postponed until Saturday next,
i Insane from Sunstroke.
Mr. Oyer; residing in Lower St. Clair
township, oriThursday last had his atten
tion attracted to a man standing in the
road near his premises during a• heavy
shower of rain. He questioned him but
without learning anything satisfactory.
Mr. Oyc:r , then Induced him to go into his
bonen, and finally concluded that,hifr was
laboring under aberration of 'mind. Mr.
o.acept /aim 'at his house until Friday and
caned in several Tysicians, who settled
down to the conclusion that, his Condition
was produced bysunstroke. From papers
Lfound in his 'possession it ;appeared his
name was ,John t3ohwendinger, and that he
Sailed froin Bremen on the 27th-of June,
ult. On Saturday he Wee' era in Charge
to the authoritlee and will probably be sent
to Diament for treatment.
Le °nicer Attacked.
Mayor Blickinore on Saturday held
Frank Hastings-in the sufunf IWO fo,r his
appearance at court, to =swim a charge of
aggravated assault end battery . pr eferred
againskhim by officer Wilmot. The officer
alleges that a few - evi3ningef since, while he
was •endeavoring to arrest a man;for disor
derly conduct on.the streets,. some friends
of • the - , prisoner assaulted him , with
sticks and stones. He was struck= the
shoulder with a biick and otherwise injur
ed, although beheld on to the ;fellow and
lodged him in jail. Hastings was arrested
on Friday', evening, being as is alleged
one of the parties to the rescue and , the
one who threw the brick which amok the

Goad Bread.
Any article that is not only good, but sn,
perior, will rapidly win its way into public
favor. No household word is now more
familiar than that ,of Ward's bakery, where
it i§ universally acknowledged can be pro
cured as g(x)d,light; pure and' wholesome
bread' as hi any other place in the State.
The great secret of the success'of this well
organized establishment lies in the fact that
nothing but the choicest quality of floor is
used, purely vegetable yeast employed and
the utmost care and skill used in kneadirfg
and baking. Persons who desire bread far
superior to that horne-made will leave their
orders at Ward's Bakery, No. 40 Palo Alto
