amination and Its Results.
We condense the following from the Ti
tusville Herald: We are able to add a few
additional particulars to what has been al
ready published in our columns in relation
to the Benninghoff case.. The public will
never be satisfied till the whole story comes
out. Important disclosures may be expec
ted. Theringleaders in this gigantic crime
,
are sti ll et large, and only a few of the ac
cessories are as yet in Custody. We be.
Hove not a cent of the money has been re
covered. , ,
It has already transpired that "Jim Ste.
ger” was the leading spirit, the principal
actor in the affair, ',unfortunate" affair, as
we heard Lawyer Boles euphonionsly term
it, in addressing the Court in behalf' of the
prisoners on Thursday last, and Jim &eager
- is supposed to have the lion's share of the
money. -This "Steger" needs no introduc
tion to old Cetwford county settlers. His
father gave the "family" name to Stre•
town, and le ft Jim with 460,000 'capital
sge
to
commence, business with. Steger kept a
dry goods store In Meadvlll , for several
years, on a very large scale, d one of our
leading townsmen was a erk of his.
Whatever wrecked his fortune, it is cer •
tain
that his habits have been "fast" of late , so
i i
fast that he has become "ripe" for the , step
which has cast a stain on his tiame that time
will only turn blaoker—and which has
made him an outlaw, a fugitive from jus
tice and a vagabond in the earth.

oilers, Miller, Shopped and Geyer.
Geyer has not been in this country long,
and was Benninghoff's hired man, and one
who was in the house at the time of the
robbery. His face tells no tales, and to all
interrogatories -he 'says, "no speak Eng
lish." He is a regular Teuton, with a blank
expression on his , blonde face, indicative
more of simplicity than of craft.
Miller is a slim, pale chap, with a dissi
pated look. One reads at a glance that as
a repository of a secret, -of either good or
ill news, there coal:I:not bear more "leaky

at Saegertown, and enjoys the reputation of
being a "rouge;"fond of the "merry com
pany" that frequent the "country danoe."
and consort in - bar-iooms for a friendly
game of "etiehre." That Miller was never
before a magistrate for a breach of the laws
is an item in his favor, and having neither
died "nor concealed himself, it is argued
that his guilt is rather that of an accessory
than a principal, more of knowledge than
The case of. Shoppart wears a less favor

trade, and followed that occupation at
Siegertown. He was a private in the aid

for his own good, but the evidence rather
inculpates him as an accessory. Ills "al

'There :vide dediciated with appropriate
services yesterday morning, to the worship
of Almighty God, the beautiful and costly
Trinity Church building Just erected by
the enterprising congregation of the First
German Lutheran Congregation of this
city. The edifice stands in a proud posi
tion ma High street, near its intersection
with Fifth avenue, a location eminently
desirable for church purposes, being quiet,
eeeluded, and in a good neighborhood. The
building is or a modernized Gothic style of
architecture, built of fine brick and orna
mented with cut stone facings. It is one hun
dred and thirty-tive feet deep with a front
and width of sixty-five feet. In the centre
rises a model spire, carrying a brick base
up to the height of about 120 feet and end
ing,
in an exquisitely beautiful steeple
covered with chequered and variegated
slate and ornamentally capped: The smith
from the ground to the cap is 180 feet high,
and can be seen from nearly all parte of
the city. .Exterlorly the church is another
valuable contribution to the number offine
architectural edifices reared by our cline
tian people to the honor and glory of God.
In point of neatness and substantiality it
, will more than farabl y compare wi t h a
maiority of our te mp les of woreip. Its
ccat, excluding the valuable ground on
which it stands, will closely approxi
mate $50,000, and together with th
grounds and buildings for school purpose
and parsonage erected thereon, a
preaches 890,000, which the public spirited
congregation expended willingly to secure
the decency - cif divine Worship. The
rock al school house is immediately in t he
rear of the church to the left, and is a how
'Cactly built brick building of three stories,
containing all the Modern school furniture
and facilities for eaucating the outh. The
Parsonage, fronting the street - to y the left of
the church, is a neat and substanhal two
story building, finished, throughout in
elegant style. and altegether an ele
gt and desirable_retidence Or the
much appreciated I pastor. The t church
and grounds are enclosed with very beau-
Wel iron railings, and nothing his been
left undone to improve the fine 'utward
appearance of the edifice. In the i ntenor
the Church presents a magnificent ppear
ance, neither pains nor expense having
been spared to renderit the prettiest in the
city. The_points -of 'entfanee, through a
broad doorway in the centre and a door on
either side, lead to a finely finished vesti
bule paved with white marble. On either
side ascend broad white oak stairs wading
into the galleries, which are upon both
sides of the Church. • The entrance to the
main auditorium leads into a broad mid
dle aisle which ends at the steps of th e al tar.
There are three broad aisles in the Church,
and including the galleries two thousand
Person!. can be comfortably provided
with seats, while nearly double that num
ber can be present at one time: The arched
ceilings are frescoed in a highly artistic
manner, 'and are provided with fourteen
ornamental ventilators. There are seven
stained glass windows of large proportions
on each side of thechurch. These are sup
plied with emblematical figures in a circle
near the top, which are elegant specimens
of art. The following figures appear: A
cross and crown, a sheaf of wheat, the
Greek letters Alpha and Omega,. a iamb,
an anchor, a water Illy, an all seeing eye,
the tablets of Moses, a passion /lower, the
stork feeding her young, a dove, the l etters
I. H. S. The intelligent reader will need no
luterpretation of theme symbolic figures
and lettaw. The altar is alinply grand. It
is approached by five broad steps which are
covered with green velvet carpet. A gothic
struo:ure of elaborately carved white oak.
rises in the rear of the altar stoneand fornas
niches for depository of a virgin white,
Wel size statue of Christ and the four
Evangelista—hhethew, Mark, Luke and
John. Thetre were presented to the con
gregation by the architects of the edifice,
Messrs. Griese & Weill, of Cleveland. Front
of the gothic ornamentation is the altar,
the usual form. surmounted with an ivory
crucifix. at the base of which lay the aym,
bol of death, the skull and cross bones
cut out of marble. The altar is covered
with richly fringed ~and embroidered
crimson velvet, and has worked upon it a
verse taken fro the scriptures. Imme
diately in fr on oft he altar is the baptismal
font of highly polished marble. it bears
an inscription denoting it to be a gift from
Mrs. Hannah M. Nieman, and a generous
one it is. To the left of the altar, looking
from it to the congregation, 38 the pulpit
artistically designed to represent a chalice,
and cleverly carved and ornamented, bear
ing medallion portraits of illustrious men
of the,church. The sounding board above
the pulpit is richly painted and has in its
centre the figure of a dove etriblematio
of the - 'Holy' Spirit. Access is ots
tained to the pulpit ; through, a sacristy
to the left, of the altar, the stairs ascending
from that apartmentand being hidden from

work about the church, are grained in imi
tation of white oak and ate emth capable of
seating six peraone. At night the church
will he lighted with two magniffeent chan
deliers dependent ffom the ceiling and each
havihg twelve jets . Besides these there
are about forty brackets distributed about
the walla in convenient places. Upon the
whole the of the
_church is .grand
and enticing and speaks volumes in praise
of the architects, Messrs. , Greise & Weill,
of Cleveland, and the builder, Mr. Peter
Suelker. of Birmingham.
The dedicatory services were performed
yesterday morning before an audience var
iously estimated from three to four thous
and persons. The Church was handsome
ly decorated with evergreens and mottoes,
and presented a gala appearance. One
banner was specially attractive. It was of
blue silk, richly embroidered, bearing the,
following inscriptions in German:
"God's word mid Luther's teachings put.e.
yai throuh eternity endure."
'Behold -1 come' quiet!) ; hald that fait which

The. Cattle Disease—Another Meeting- of
• , Allegheny Butchers.
In pursuance of previous arrangthents a:
second meeting of the butchers of Alle
gheny was held in the Mayor's office, Sat
tnrday afternoon at one o'clock. ,
On motion of Mr. Joseph McDonald, Hon.
J. L. Grahano was called to the chair,
taxiesthe repo rs a cting rte of the press aas secre.
. .
. .
Mr. Graham, on taking the chair, said
that as he understood it,-the Meeting had
fbeen
n a te ll r e chaongethef pu i r ni p on e f roofmobhtaein b i u n t g c hers
and citizens in general in regard .to the
best method of preventing the sale of dis
eased cattle in the city.
Mr. Joseph McDonald stated that at a
previous meeting a committee had been
appointed to take note of and inspect all
cattle corning into the city on Saturday.
The ComMittee had prepared a report
which exhibited the following arrivals of
cattle during the morning:
Two car
ed to Krauss it s
Heads. from C
- .adiz, Ohio, consign
Two car loads from Portage county, Ohio,
to Jas. McCollister.
One drove of cattle from Washington
county, to Stakel.4:lc Bro.
, y
Sixteen head rom Washington county,
to Myera & Nee .
Two car loads rom Belmont county, Ohio,
to Hazelwood ek. Illackstock.
Two car loads from Edward Thayer, Por
tage county, Ohio.
One car load from East Liberty, to L.
Sheinberg. Re-shipped back.
The'Committee stated that they had no
knowledge of any diseased cattle being of
fered for sale in the Allegheny yards.
The report was accepted.
Air. Greenawalt, a drover, objected to the
resolution passed at a previous meeting,
preventing butchers - from buying any cat
tle coming from Chicago. He thought they
should be idlowed to buy cattle coming
from any place, providing the Committee
of Inspect on prononncethem sound.
Mr. M'Donald moved that a committee'
of three be appointed by the Chair to visit
the yards in the city and report the con
dition of affairs there to the Mayor onMon
day.
' The motion was carried, and Messrs. Jos.
M'Donald, J. F. Bellstein and Wm. Badder
appointed on said committee.
Mr. Sanderson asked information 'wheth
er the diseased cattle could be readily die
timmished from the others not diseased.
Mr. Bellstein said he had paid a visit to
the East Liberty Yards to . investigate that
matter, and he found that there were cer
tain infallible signs on each of the diseased
cattle which could easily be discovered by
any person at all familiar with the trade.
From these signs the firstsimptoms of the
disease were revealed, and the committee
of inspection would ,have ho difficulty in
separating the healthy from the diseased
ones in any drove.
Mr. Beilsteinia statements were corrobor
ated by several of the butchers present
from their own observation.
Mr. James Sanderson moved that the
Committee be instructed to ptiti Coun
cils at their nest meeting for thenppoint
ment of a meat inspecto r for the city. Car
_.
...._
ned. .
On motion of Mr. Robert Gray, Richard
Denver, was unanimously recommended
for the position. •
Mr. Greenawalt asked for infortnation
whether the cattle pronounced sound by
the Committee could be purchased by the
butchers, regardlekts of. the plat* from
•Wbence they had been shipped. •
The Chairman stated such to be his un
derstanding of the action of the meeting
in appointing the Committee.
On motion, adjourned.
—Since writing the above we have been
banded the following report of the Com
mittee on Inspection. The Committee it
seems visited the yards on Saturday after
the meeting and yesterday and make their

Did He Take It Back t
A man before he gets through the world
is very often met with the demand, "Take
that back," accompanied by - a fierce threat
If not rapidly complied with. (None are
better accitniinted with this fact than re
portent.), A little "taking back" transac
tion; however, in which George Maxwell
is said to have figured, instead of bringing
him relief was rather of the reverse order.
Mrs. McNally, his landlady, in relating
the circumstance states that George came
into the house with a companion on' Satur
day to pay his board bill, amounting to
1 fifteen dollars. The money was laid on the
table for a few minutes, and while the lady
went to another part of:the room 'George
and his, companion departed, the money, e
also, mysteriously disappearing at the sa me
time. Thinking the matter a little strange
she consulted that courteous official, Mayor
I Drum, who by some means prevailed on
George to call, at his allele, there the mat
ter was explained to him, with . the intima
tion that he knew something about ii. He
-denied all knowledge of the affair, but tbe
appearanoe of a commitment soft ened, his
heart a little, and he , generouslypaid over,
the amount, saying that be would see his
companion and have the matter investi
gated. 'He left shortly afterwards, and at
last accounts no report of the result bad
been received at the office. .

A Little Wanderer.
On ,Friday night. there arrived in this
city a bright lad about thirteen years old,
who told a short story of wrong perpe
trated on him. He says his name is Jarrett;
that his parents reside"in lowa City,'lowa.
from whence he was enticed by a man to go
to Brooklyn, N. Y., to sing in a choir.
That while in the man's keeping he was
treated badly and almost starved. On ex
pressing a desire to return to, his home his
guardian accompanied him to Jersey
City, where he left him to pursue his
journey as best he could. He bad
means enough to get this far, but his
funds gave out and for protection.. and.
aid he visited the Mayor's office. There.
happened, fortunately for the boy', to be a
number of the members of the 'Vigilant
Fire Company in the °Moe .at the time.
They provided for him liberally, attending'
to his every want, and with a new suit of.
clothing and some money and a railway
ticket in his pocket he will depart to-day
for the home' of his parents. This act of
'kindness and - charity to a mere child On
the part clothe le Vigy.boya , tis its own com
mentary, and no word ofpraiae should mar
the noble deed so well and generonsly per.

- A nOllll6 Thief Jailed.
Frank_Willianm, the thief who was , de
tected in ransacking the dwelling of D. W.
C. Bidwell, Esq.. on Stockton Avenue. had
a hearing before Mayor Drum on Saturday,
when the following particulars of the case
were developed. It see ms t hat he had gone
'round to the rear of the building, and
when discovered had broken the sash of
the windows. A lady diving near by saw
his action, and with great forethotfght TBllll
- no alarm, but quietly went out and no
tified a police officer of tne affair. He im
mediately repaired to the house and sue
ceeded in capturing the fellow inside. On
his
being
nani conveyed to the lock-up he gave
e as Prank Williams. - He was
searched, and about a half dozen pawn
tickets were fel:lad in his 'pockets. Secur
ing these- the officers called at the pawn
offices and recovered a considerable
amount of clothing and valuables, which
the fellow had evidently been some, time
in collecting. The family of Mr. Bidwell
are away, and the house was left unoccu
pied, a fact which the fellow seems-to have
been aware of. None of the stolen prop
erty has been identified vet. He gave a
different name at each pawn shop, and the
name given at the Mayor's office was dif
ferent from all the rest. He seems to have
a faculty of inventingnames but, unfor
tunately, that is a talent not' required in
the every day life of an honest man. Afte r
the hearing, in default of $l,OOO bail, he
was committed for trial.
Sewing Machines.
People should be careful how they are
influenced by the representations of sewing
machine agents in this city during the con
troversy now indirectly going on between
them. Some of them, being unable to set
forth 'any special merit for their machines;
endeavor to make up for this by claiming
that. the particular companies they repro
!sent have sold agreater number of machines
than any other. But while thIR fact is not
settled, each agent reasserting his claim
and backing his statement by figures, it is
pretty Well established thlit the Weed Sew
ing Machine is the favorite in this locality.
Special minim and which p ren d er ich can
not be disputed it supe
rior to all others. Simplicity of construc
tion, ease of operation, and the infrequency
of its getting out of order, are the main
advantages. It is quite as "noiseless" as
any other machine, since in its construc
tion and operation fifty per cent. leas
machinery . Is employed. It is not run
by cogs, and in no case is it neces
oilin
sary'gto
This takc
e It 'apart for cleaning or

all parts of it easily accesiible for any pur
pose. That the Weed Machine is the-fav
orite In Pittsbuh is lainl sho
the published lista rg of w e ll - kn o wn c wn itizen b s y
who have purchased it. In nt borhoods
where one has been sold , itis a istinguish
int fact that. other orders i
ve quickly
followed. In the last ninety -,days
there have been more Weeds sold at retail
In Pittsburglrand vicinity than of any other
fact which cannot be'succese
fully disputed. They can be found in fam
ilies in nearly every street In the city, and
In some neigftorhaxis' are plentifully dis

Upset--,A Litt.le Child injured. -.
Yesterday evening about six o'clock sev
eral one-horse buggies, filled with young
men returning from a pleasure trip; were
being driven down Pennsylvania avenue
when one of the horses became frightened
and started; to run. Coming in contact
with a two-horse barouche one of the
wheels of that vehicle was torn off, the
buggy also sharing, a similar fate. This
accident so fiightened the other horses in
tne train that they became unmanageable
and started. off also. When near the corner
of Pride street and the avenue two of the
buggies collided and were upset, one of the
occupants hiving several ribs broken--tbe
otherP sustaining no injuries beyond a few
slight bruises. , The remaining horse, at
tached- to a buggy - in which were seated
three young men, nothwithstanding all
their exertions, continued on his mad ca
reer. Just above Stevenson street the
horse shied on the pavement, coming i n
contact with a post, and the vehicle was
overturned.
Mr. Eris, residing on IloYd's Hill, was
driving along in apuggy,containing, beside
himself . , his son and a little daughter
about six years of age, when he heard an
outcry, and looking behind him -saw the
last mentioned runaway coming. He im
mediately droveon the pavement to beam'
of the way. In the meanwhile, just below
Stevenson street, the affrighted animal
shied on the pavement, coming in con
tact with a post-and overturning . the vehi
ble. Quickly breaking away from the har
ness, he ran along the pavement, "and in at
tempting to pass between the fence and
Mr. Eris'
,buggy, he 'overturned that vehi
cle also. The father and son both escaped
injury, but little girl was thrown under
the feet of their own horse, receivinga
severe gash on the top of the head and being
otherwise badly injured. She was taken
into a neighboring house and Dr. Batten
called in, • who dressed the wound. The
Doctor thinks the child will recover with
careful attention. it seems a miracle that
she was not killed outright. - Some, of the
animals. continued their flight till they
reached their stables, and the others were
secured before going far. With the excep
tion of the, persons mentioned none were
seriously injured. 'We failed to learn the
names of any of the pa.iy, but will doubt
less hear. further of the affair to-day,7 one
of the parties, it is said, threatens t 0 bring 4
snit for reckless driving against one f his
compianiona. We experienced considera
ble difficulty in getting the '-circumstances
of the affair, several parties who seemed to
be in possession of the facts refusing to
give us any information. As near as we
could learn, however, the particulars are
as we have reported them.
