bonor of General Carl Schurz, the soldier
and patriot. - There was music on the occa
sion, and it , having been announced that
adveral speakers would be present, ny half

iavern, the crowd in the Hall being so great
as to render it decidedly uncomfortable.
Order having been restored, the Presi
dent of the Club introduced; W. •A, Leg
gate, Esq., who made a stirring address.

their effect on the crowd was made mani
fest in hearty applause.
Mr. Ripley followed in a short speech, in
which he referred to the efforts of orators
of the opposition party to mislead the peo
ple from the true issue in the contest. He
bad faith in the intelligence of the people,
and believed these- efforts would fail of
their intended effect, and that the party
who had saved the country from destruc
tion by rebel hands would , triumph over
these same rebels and their sympathizers
through the ballot-box as they had through
the cartridge box.
The next speaker was J. la. Kerr, Esq.,
who entertained the assemblage for over an
hour, referring in eloquent terms to the
great fight, now progressing for the supre
macy of Republican principles. --- He traced
the doctrine of secession from its inception
to its final and complete overthrow under
the captain of the age, Gen. Grant, and tinder
whose leadership he predicted another
equally glorious triumph in November
next.

announced that on next Saturday evening
a meeting would be held at the same place,

S. Poorman, Esq., of Ohio, specially inten

those not familiar with the language, the

German citizens. Mr. T. W. Davis, from the
Seccond ward Grant club, therefore exten
ded aninvitation to all tho English clubs to

an excellent brass band would be iu attend
ance, and'he thought they could be pleas
antly entertained for an hour.
On motion, the ibvitation was accepted,
after which the meeting adjourned.
Row on Third Street
A disgraceful fight occurred yesterday
evening on Third street, near Smithfield,
between John Crisler and William Row.
It appears that the parties were both
drunk, and had been amusing --them
selves on Third street by upsetting boxes
and - barrels from the sidewalk into
the street. Crisler, when be could find
nothing else to tumble over, shoved Row
off the sidewalk, whereupon Row knocked
him down, and a general fight ensued in
which Row proved the better man. After
getting Crisler down and pounding him for
some time, during which he lost his shirt,
Row, fearing the police might get around
that way, left him and went up Third street.
Crisler, although Pretty badly beaten,
was
not satisfied and started /n pursuit of. Row.
At Smithfield street the parties again came
together with much the same'result as be
fore. An immense crowdd had assemble by
this time, and Chief preen seeing It started
in that direction, when both parties fled.
The Chief followed Row, and after a short
chase captured him and conducted him to
the lock , up. Crisler sucoaeded in Making
his escape and has not yet been arrested.
Larceny of a Hat.
Mr. J. J. Walker, while engaged at a
game of billiards, Saturday, at •the:Revero
House, hung his coat and hat on a hook,
and during the game some enterprising
young man picked up the bat, and, it is
allsged, took a pocket book out'of the coat
pocket, containing $4O. The fellow who ap
propriated the hat left the saloon, but it
appears only reached the side-walk in front
of the house, where he became involved in
&quarrel with a drunkeniman, and the two
were arrested for disorderly conduct and
taken before the Mayor, who committed
them for twenty-four hours. Shortly after
the officer had departed with them for the
jail Mr. Walker came in the office and made
known,hie loss, whereupon be was shown
a hat hich Thomas Johnson, one of the
parties just committed, had secreted under
his coat, and which had been taken from
him by the officer who arrested him.
Walker at once identified the hat, and made
information against Johnson charging him
with the larceny of the hat and money. A
commitment was lodged against him to
answer the charge at Court. ,

We dropped in at the Rink on Saturday

great exhibition. The fountain will be
'ringed by a rustle border of moss covered
stones. Numbers of large basket boqueta

met a special train, consisting of the pay
master's car and a baggage car, drawn by
engine No. 21, - bound south. Both trains
- were moving rapidly, and when the en
gineers discovered the danger the locenio
tives Were so near together that it was im
possible to avoid a collision. Every effort
was made, but the locomotives came to
gether with heavy force, and both were
thrown from the track. The fu eman of
No. 13, named Hardy, was caught between
the locomotive and tender, and a long time
elapsed before he could be rescued. He
suffered intensely and prayed his friends
to kill him and put him out of his agony.
'At last he was released and removed to
Kittanning,where he expired Friday even
ing at seven o'clock. He resided in the
Fifteenth ward of this city, and his remains
were brought home on Saturday last. The
engineer, Mr. Walters, was also injured,
bat it is thought he will recover. The lo
comotives were both more or less damag
ed. Some of the officers of the road, we
are informed, were in the paymaster's car,
but escaped unhurt.
If our information in regard to the affair
is correct, it is quite evident that the ac
cident was the result of carelessness on the
part of Some one, whether the party in
charge of the special train, or the engineer
of the regular train, we are unable to say.
It Is alleged that the special train was run
ning on the time of the regular train, and
that it had not been announced, which, if
so, is not only culpable carelessness but
highly criminal, as a collision would be the
naturalzeonsequence of such carelessness.
A Home Educational Institute and Who
Recommend Its Faculty.
The first session of the Pittsburgh Male
and Female Seminary, Nos. 22 and 24 Fifth
'street, will open on Monday, September
7th. - The course of study will be exten
sive, and - will" embrace all the English
branches, German, French, Book Keeping,
etc. Special attention will be given to the
English branches, as they are the founda
tion of a solid education. and in this depart
ment able and experienced instructors
have been employed. The Principal, Prof.
L Gourley, will spare no efforts to make
the school second to none in the State, and
his former success leaves no doubt of the
result. The male and female departments,
it may be proper to say, will be separate.
The Principal can be seen daily at the
rooms on Fifth street. Few gentlemen of
this community could secure such hearty
and unqualified endorsement as the fol
lowing from our leading educators and
scholars:
Knowing Prof. H. I. Gourley to be an
earnest, energetic and suzcessful teacher, as
well as a gentleman and scholar, we heart
ily commend him, and the seminary which
he is about to open, to the favor and patron
age of the people:

The Benniughoff Robbery Four More
Arreete
The Titusville Het aid says: The-interest
in the I3enninghoff robbery, upon which so
much has been said and written, has by no
means subsided in this section; but, on the
contrary, it has been kept in a very lively
state by occasional rumors of new "strikes"
by the police - and detectives, and by re
ports about the condition, prospects and
intentions of the robbers who are in dur
ance vile at Franklin. Reports have been
circulated within a week or two to the effect
that the police were about to secure parties
implicated in the robbery, about whom the
public had heard nothing, and the move
ments of certain officers who were thought
to be working up a new case were watched
closely. Yesterday these rumors took de
finite shape, three men who have been
working as engineers in the vicinity of
Bull Run having been arrested on the
charge of having participated in the rob
bery. It appears that some time since De
puty Sheriff Kinney, of Petroleum Centre,
got hold of a clue to what is alleged to be the
gang which perpetrated the robbery,
but
which is wholly unconnected with that
which was led by Jim Sager, of Sieger
town. From time to urns Mr. Kinney has
succeeded in obtaining the information
which led to the arrest above mentioned.
The names of the parties are suppressed at
the request of their friends. The full par
ticulars attending the implication and ar
rest have not yet transpired.
Beligerant' Barbers
Edward Inger made information before
Mayo. Drum, Saturday morning, charging
Henry Blackmer° with aggravated assault
and battery. The parties are colored bar
bers and reside in Temperanceville.
Bluckmore was arrested and had a partial
hearing before the 'Mayor_ He states that
he had been left in charge of a barber shop
in 'Demperanceville, • belonging to his son
invlaw. Inger was employed in the shop,
but yesterday he came to work consider
ably intoxicated. He was ordered out of
the shop, and upon refusing to obey, "suf
ficient force" to eject him was used. Inger
was badly beaten , about the _face, an ugly
cut being apparent on the chin„while both
eyes wero swollen so much as-to seriously
interfere with his facultyof seeing. Black
more denied having inflicted the injuries,
and asserted that Inger must have been in
another difficulty. Blackmer° was held
for a a further hearing.
In new Quarters.
The Delifield Mission Sabbath School
yesterday was opened for the first
time in. the now and elegant church
edifice recently erected. `The scholars wore
much delighted with the change from the
humble quarters they had left. A number
of zealous christian ministers and laymen
made short addresses to the scholars pre
paratory to the re-organization of the
classes. The school now. numbers about
one hundred and fifty as brig , ‘t-eyed and
Intelligent children as can be mustered to
gether in the city, and under the tuition
and care of such philanthropic gentlemen
as Messrs. Dilison, Carlisle, Loyd, McMas-
ter, Lawton and others, the pupils cannot
fail to grow up worthy ornaments to society
and religion.
