An incident occurred at the office of Al
derman Strain, Sunday morning, slightly
illustrative of the caption under which we
write. About eleven o'clock Saturday
night the Alderman was aroused from his
slumbers by an Unnatural pull at the door
bell, followed by a hurried and excited
conversation on the outside. , Hastily don
ning his habiliments the usually good na
tured Magistrate answered the .'call" in
person, slightly "ruffled" in temper by the
interruption to "tired nature's sweet re
storer," in which h - e had been indulging.
The anger was but momentary, however,
as it quickly vanished when upon opening
the door he beheld a fair young lady scarce

gallantry coming to his aid, themomentary
anger was at once 8 'spelled, and conduct
ing the lady to the parlor, announced
his readiness to, hear her complaints. ,
Her stort was , a plain One and
soon told. Only another instance of
"misplaced confidence." The lady had
"loved, not wisely, but too well," and the
object of her affections had been recreant
to the trust and confidence imposed in him.
Her name was—well it don't matter what

Disgramful'Condriet of a Pollee Officer—
Ile tires Four Shots from a- Revolver
la a Street Car. .
From an information made before Alder
man Strain yesterday, it appears that there
is at least one man on the police force who
should not be there, and doubtless will not
remain upon it long if the charges are fully
substantiated. W. H. E -ans and 'Wilson
/WWII each made infor anon before the
Alderman named charging John Weisen
burn with felonious assault. It appears
that the prosecutors had been attending a
pic-nic beyond Lawrenceville on Thurs
day, and when returning got in a car at the
station of the Citizens' Passenger Railway
for the purpose of riding into the city.
Weisenbure, a policeman, they allege was
in the car, was intoxicated behaving in
a very unbecoming manner, using indecent
ii
and insulting languag , notwithstanding',
there were a number o ladies in the car.',
Th. prosecutors in the above cases rernon
krated with him, and ndeavored to, per
suade him to keep quiet, whereupon he
turned upon them, and, drawing his re
volver, fired three shots at Evans and one
at Burton. The ladies in the car became
alarmed and ran out, as did also the prose
cutors. The accused, was arrested and held
to bail in the sum of $2,500 for his appear
ance to answer a charge of felonious assault.
Such conduct would be disgraceful if
perpetrated by a "rough," and becomes
doubly so when a poice officer, who is pre
sumed to be a conservator of the peace, is
the guilty one, and we feel assured will not
be tolerated by the, Police Committee or
the Mayor. If charge is substantiated,
the accused may not only expect to lose
his position on the force, but will also be.
severely punished by the law.
_
At Their Old Tricks.
For some month's past the names of the
Millers and Polk Harkins, which formerly
were so frequent in' the police reports,
have not appeared in that connection, and
we were of the opinion that they had either
left the city or that a reformation - had
taken place; but we obserye from the
Mayor's docket that they are at their old
tricks again. Yeaterday evening M..,Chael
Hickey, an inoffensive Irishman, came to
the Mayor's office and made information,
charging "Sig"; Miller, - Frank Miller and
Polk Harkins 'with assault and battery.
He stated that he was on his way home to
West Pittsburgh, and whe'n going down to
the ferryboat the accused "hooted" at
him. He stopped and looked at them but
did not make any reply. They then
started after him, following him on the
ferryboat, where one of them struck bun
over the eye with a boulder, knocking him
down, and the others kicked and otherwise
abused him. Warrants were issued for
the arrest of th" parties, and the police
succeeded in :ideatingMiller, who,
after a hearing, was held to bail in the sum
of five hundred dollars for his appearance
at Court. The others had not been arrested
lip to a late hour last night, but the police
were on their track and will probably have
then' this morning.
Fatal Accident.
• .
An accident occurred in West Pittsburgh 1
yesterday, resulting in the death of Wii-
Ham Manyan, who was 'engaged, in build
ing
the wall -along the loWer side of the
Panhandle , Railroad. It appears he was
working at one of the deriiekg; used in i
raising the heavy stone with which the
wall is being constructed, when one of the
guy ropes parted, and the derrick fell upon
him killing him instantly. Ile had been
warned-of the danger in the morning by'
the superintendent of the work and told to
make it secure, but he paid no attention to
the warning, and between twelve and one
o'clock the accident occurred whereby he
lost his life. Coroner Clawson was notified
. and repaired to the spot but was unable to
procure a jury. The body was taken in
charge by undertaker Aikin, and an in
quest will be held at nine o'clock this
morning. The deceased was about thirty
years of age, and mine to this country re
cently from Ireland, where he loaves a
wife and one gild.

The Late Thaddeus Stevens—Address from
Goy. Geary. -
The Governor has just issued an address
to the people of Pennsylvania, embodying
an order as follows :
ExECUTiVE CHAMBER, HARRISBURG,
Aug. 14, 1868. —T0 the People of -Pennsyl
vania : The death of the oldest member of
the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress,
Thaddeus Stevens, is an event which to
day shrouds the Commonwealth in gloom.
Though not a native of the State, Thaddeus
Stevens' most earnest efforts were always
devoted to its interests and glory, and his
name will ever be associated with all that
is great in the progress of the last qulrter
of a century, as well as all that pertains _to
statesmanship in the struggle to preseTve and
perpetuate the American Union.
The people of Pennsylvania owe to the
enlarged statesmanship of. Thaddehs Ste
vens the initiation of a system of public
improvements, which has since developed
the vast resources of the State and render
ed its prosperity a subject of wonder and
admiration. To his wisdom and liberality
we are indebted for our present magnificent
laystem of free school education, by which
the children of the poor are enabled to reach
a degree of cultivation beyotd which the
wealthiest and most favored of other lands
cannot go,
As a member of the Convention which re.
vised the State Constitution ; as a Represen
tative in the lower branch of the Legislature,
and as a Canal Commissioner, the late Thad
deus Stevens displayed the same great abili
ties which distinguished him as a jurist in
the highest courts and as a leader in the
councils of the nation,
The memory of the services of the illus
trious dead, of his nanny grand traits of
character, of his great and cultivated intel
lect, of his irresisistible abilities as a jurist
and as a legislator, and of his generous and
munificent charities, will never die. It will
survive the recollection of man, and forever
live in the records of our courts, our State
and National Legislatures ; in the history of
our country, to which he was so ardently at
tached, and in the hearts of his countrymen,
whom he so immortally honored and so
faithfully served.
It is directed that all the departments of
the State Government be closal after twelve
o'clock on Monday next; that the National
flag be displayed at half-mast at the Nar:ie
time on all the public buildin sof the fi.at©.
