The Attention of our readers is directed
to the advertisementof Mr. William Hest-'
penheide, merchant tailor, No. 50 St. Clair
street. Mr. H. has long sustained high
reputation as a fashionable tailor and dra
per, and persons favoring him with their
patronage cannot fail to be pleased. He has
at all times a fine stock of cloths, cassi
meres and vestings on hand, which he
makes up at shortest notice, in best style
and at most reasonable prices. Having had
long personal acquaintance with 'Mr. Hes
penhelde we commend him in earnest

Coroner's Inquest.
(coroner Clawson yesterday held an in
quest on the body of William Manyan,
who was killed by the falling of ai7nerric,ic
in West Pittsburgh, Monday afternoon, trio
particulars of which we published yesterl

lowing verdict: - -
"That the sa d William Manyan came to
his death in West Pittsburgh, on the 17th
day of August, 1868, by the accidental
falling of a derrick on the Panhandle road.
The jury further found that no blame at
taches to the contract& under whose super
vision the derrick was erected."
Burglary in Allegheny.
Vague reports of a burglary in the Sixth
Ward, Allegheny, - are in circulation, the
substance of which, so far as we could
ascertain, areas follows: A Mr. Mvler, re
siding on Beaver Avenue, loft home Satur
day, leaving his house in charge of his
housekeeper, and when he returned on
Monday he found that his trunk had been
broken open and about $l5O abstracted
therefrom, and the housekeeper had disap
peared. It appears that Mr. M. is a batche
lor, and that the only persons about the
house was the housekeeper and a black
smith who boarded with him. The house
keeper has not been heard of and the black
synith,-; it is stated, has been spending
money very freely within the past few
days. The police are working up the case.
The Lese—Vereln.
- Yesterday we strayed into the German
Lese-Vereizi on Liberty street, and, thanks
to two courteous German fellow-citizens,
were able to see all that was, to- be seen.
A long room with books doWn the two
sides, windows at one end and a stair-case
and colossal bust of Schiller at the other,
tables in the middle covered with periodi
cals, a bronze bust of Franklin on a
bracket, and nothing more. Yet those
books and periodicals form the only punlin
library of foreign language in the city, and
conceal the treasures of the most classical
of modern tongues. And we made this
discovery yesterday, 'that while the Ger
man citizens do all that others do for their
adopted city and country, they still reserve
a pleasant nook, like this as a monument to
beloved Vateriand.
Escape and Capture.
• Yesiterslay morning one of the prisoners
in the Western Penitentiary escaped from
that institution and succeeded in getting
about one square distant before he was cap
tured. It appears that to reach the store
room, which is on the second door in the
front part of the building, it is necessary to
come outside of the main door into the lob
by, and the superintendent with two of
the prisoners was removing some shoes
from the workshop to the store room. The
shoes were carried up stairs and deposited
in the store room, and the prisoners were
being returned to thp prison when one of
them broke and Tun. The Superintendent
followed and arrested him about a
square from the building. The prisoner
came back very peaceably. He &dated that
ho had not thought of escaping a moment
before he started, that the desire for liber
ty forced its..lf upon him so strong as he
was returning to the prison that ho could
not help making an attempt to get away.

A New Educational Institution—Pittsburgh
Male and Female ScmWary.
We have already noted the fact that
Prof. H. I. Gourley, one of our most prom
inent educators, late Principatiof the Third
Ward School, had made arrangements for
opening a Male and 'Female Seminary at
Nos. 22 and 24 Fifth street ; but as the time
for the opening of the institution is near at
band, it is fitting that we should again
make some reference to it. The location
selected is a good one, being easily accessi
ble from all parts of the city and vicinity,
and the rooms are well furnished anti mum
rably adapted for a school for both sexes.
The course of study, as we observe from a
card before us, will be extensive, embra
cing all the English branches, sciences,
classics, German and French, also book
keeping. It is designed, as soon as possible
alter the commencement of the session, to
give instruction in singing; and to this end
an organ will be secured. Particularatten-
Mon, an are assured, will be given in cases
where scholars wish to acquire a solid
English education, and this we regard
as an important feature, as no ed
ucation, can be complete without
such a foundatien. The terms for tuition are
very reasonable, and there are no "extra
charges." The school will open on Mon
day, Septamber 7th, and those desirous of
arranging for pupils can sea the Principal,
Prof. Gourley, daily, at the rooms Nos. 22
and 24, Fifth street. We hall with pleas

The Accident on the Oil Creek and Alle
gheny Railroad.
The following of the terrible railroad
disaster on the Oil Creek and Allegheny
Railroad is from the. Titusville Morning
Herald of yesterday:
It seems that No 8 freight train was going
south, loaded with merchandise and oil,
and drawn by engine No. 24. The train
was twenty minutes late, and was running
at the rate of twenty miles an hour for the
pu
1 1
pose of making -up the lost time. At
th same time, the construction train'was
co ing north, the locomotives being in the
retir and the caboose, with the laborers and
their tools, in front. Mr. Poor was the con
ductor of the construction train, and he and
others aver that on reaching Rouseville
they say nothing of the telegraph operator,
but found the following on the bulletin
board: •iFreight No. 8 has passed."
Feeling assured that the track was clear,
conductor Poor ordered his train to go on,
and at fifteen minutes past one o'clock the
t o trains met on a curve near the John
B chanan farm.
he collision was fearful, and the terrific
m tnentum with which the two running
b dies met, can only be inferred from the
fa t that the caboose, with its occupants,
N AS lifted, as if by the arms of some angry
giant, clear off the track and hurled entire
ly over the whole train and dropped clear
of the engine.
On the other train two tank cars were
thrown bodily into 011,Creek, and the oth
ers piled in a promiscuous heap.
But it was inside the caboose of the con
struction train that the most fearful inci-
ents were transpiring. Here were men, a
ument ago full of life, being whirled
round in a fearful cage where, as if by the
ngenuity of toiture, sharp picks, bars,
1 hovels, etc., were crushing, maiming and
ticking them.
AB soon as the engineers of the respec
t ye trains perceived their danger, they
.r.versed their engines and with their fire
men jumped off.
Samuel Poor, a brakeman, was badly
scalded.
2,715
2, elki

Sinclair, another brakeman. was thrown
from between two cars, cutting a frightful
gash in his skull and wounding him in the
face.
2, 699
2,414
( Another man was thrown under a truck,
in such a manner that there was scarcely
the breadth of a hand between his head
and the threatening mass above him, yet
strange to say he escaped without the slight
est injury.
Anxious to obtain the earliest and at the
same time a correct account of this sad af
fair, we immediately took measures to ob
tain such a report. Our special reporter
went to the scene of the accident on the
wrecking train at half-past five o'clock on
Saturday evening.
At Rynd Farm the regular passen
ger train was met, and entering the
baggage car a most distressing sight was
presented. Laid up in beds and receiving
every possible attention were six of the'
wounded. Ono of these sufferers had re
ceived an internal injury, and in the effort
to give his name he could only utter the
word "Dennis." Near 111111 , WILS Dan Sulli
van with a ecompoundjrat.tuie of the right
arm and his head badly bruised. Two of
the others, badly injured, were named
Dennis Readon and Patrick Murphy.
It was a painful ride with these poor
'rounded men, whose sufferings were in
tensified by the fact that they had not been
procured by a fair battle, and were the re
sults of-the criminal negligence of .some
scoundrel who deserves all the punishment
duo to the most criminal of murderers. It
is due to the Railroad Company to say that
they immediately telegraphed' to Oil City
for surgical assistance, and Drs. Says and
Ater came promptly and rendered valua
ble assistance.
. In concluding this report we call upon
the press and the public to unite with us in
demanding a full, thorough, and searching
investigation of this hugs crime. We want
no more verdicts of "Nobody to blame."
Whether the criminal shall prove to be tele=
graph operator, or the wealthiest man in
the land, we demand his signal punishMent,
as a just consequence of his crime, and a
warning to all entrusted with the care of
human life.
Young Burglary Arrested. -
Yesterday morn/ng 'about five o'clock
officers Hoyt, Flynn and Gallagher of the
Mayor's police, arrested John Clark, John
Nelson and Patrick Simpson, boys about
ten or twelve years of age, on a charge of
burglary. The young scamps had effected
an entrance to the grocery store of James
M. Jordan, No. 243 Webster street, by one
of them climbing over the transom above
the door and then opening the door for
his companions. They succeeded in get
ting some five. dollars in postal currency,
five dollars worth of base halls, and cigars
to the value of two dollars. The boys were
seen leaving the store, and they were pur
sued by some officers who had been notified
of the robbery. They, were arrested on
Fulton street and conveyed to the watch
house, and were locked up without being
searched. Shortly afterward they were
observed secreting the stolen property,
which was recovered. After a hearing they
were committed to jail for their appearance
at court. •
A Magnificent Deed
The deed of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania to the PennsylVania Railroad
Company for the old Pennsylvania Canal,
now occupied as the road bed for the West
Pennsylvania Railroad, has been left at the
Recorder's office to be recorded. It is one
of the most elegantly gotten up documents
of hte character we have ever seen. It is ,
written on parchment of a very tine quality
and covers about sixty pages quarto post
size. Around the edge of each page is a
neat gilt border about half an inch wide.
The penmanship is really beautiful, not a
blot or erasure appearing on tho face of the
entire paper. It is interleaved with silk
tissue paper for the protection of the writ
ten pages, and the whole is neatly bound
in Ttirkey morocco, with a gilt finish. The
deed was made in AG.' It has been record
ed in Philadelphia from the original, and
copies" have been made for the counties
intervening between Pittsburgh and Phila
delphia through which the old canal passed.
Watch Recovered.
Officer Hess, of Allegheny, Monday last
recovered a watch which had been stolen
from a trunk owned by Jacob Wesley, who
was drowned about a year ago in the Alle
gheny river, near Herr's Island. The day
be was drowned and before an inquestmas
held on the body, some person went to the
boarding house of deceased, broke opens

Heavy Robbery—Arrest of the Thief.
Yesterday the tug-boat L F. Davis ar
rived at the Manchester wharf to undergo
repairs, having ran into a snag in the - .Ohio
river, sustaining serious injury. The Cap
tain, Thomas R. Chester, paid off his hands
and put the boat on the dock. One of the
deck hands, named William White, re
turned in the evening and stated that he
had expended all his money, and begged
for a place to sleep. The good hearted
Captain granted thelirivilege, and left the
boat, together with a wallet containing $550
in a desk, in charge of the fellow
last night. On his return, Captain
Chester found his wallet on the- floor
rifled of its contents, and the man White
missing. He immediately set out insearch
of him and was fortunate enough in over
hauling him at the Union Depot, on board
one of the eastern bound trains. Calling
officer Johnson to his assistance White was
arrested and conveyed to the tombs. He
then made tall confession of his theft and
handed over to Capt. Reed $543,85 of plan
tier; having expended the balance. The

cealing his crime and evidently is no prac
ticed thief. He hails from New Philadel
