THE - GRAVEYARD! QUESTION.
Meeting of the Lot Owners—Report of the
Committee—Resolutions I Authorizing the
Committee to Obtain au Injunction
Against the Commissioners.
When we made our last report 3f the
meeting of the lot owners in the Methodist
graveyard, Eleventh ward, we were led to
believe, from the represenations of one of
the Commissioners present at the meeting,
and the propositions made by the lot own
ers, that the difficulties would be arranged
without further trouble; but it appears that
our conclusions were incorrect, and from
statements made to the Committee since
that time, it would seem that the CoMmis
sioner alluded to, who at' all the ineetings
pretended to be in sympathy with the lot
owners, is as much if not inoi e to blame for
the failure to come to an understanding
• than either of the others.
• The Committee appointed by the lot own
--ors, after making seveialiattempts to settle
with the Commissioners, till of which were
unavailing, called another theetituion Tues
day night of last week j but owing to the
small number of persons ltnesent the meet=
ing adjourned to convenolast night, at the
Eleventh Ward School House. At eight
o'clock last evening, a large number of per
sona having assembled at it he School litouse
the meeting was called to order by Captain
Andrew Miller, on whosnmotion Mr. Aaron
Floyd was. called to the chair, Mr. James-
McKean officiating as Secretary.
The minutes of .tho preceding meeting
- were read and adopted. --
The Chairman cal ed upon the Committee
for their report. Capt. Miller, one of the
Committee, made a verbal report: He
said he was sorry to inform the meting
that the Committee had been unable
to effeiit any definite arrangements with
the Commissioners. He said the whole
see Let of the affair, so far as he: could ascer
tain, was occasioned by a disaereement
between the Commissionsers.l When the
law was first passed Mr. Kincaid had un
dertaken to run the affitir- himself, but
his brother Commissioners wiuld not
agree to let him have • full control, and
put money in his own Pocket, - and
consequently they resigned. He, Kincaid,
then obtained the appointment of those
who are now acting with hint, and they,
without, consulting Mr. Kincaid, under
took to conduct matters themselves. The
committee bad labored to - effect some ar
rangement, but had signally failed. After
all other propositions had failed, he had
proposed to the Commissioners that the lot
owners would remove their own dead, and
give up their titles to the lots,) if the Com
missionerswOuld have the ground divided
into lots and sold, and after the actual ex-
Penses had been paid the lot owners should
have the residue .of the money. To this
'proposition twathi rds of the Commissioners
had agreed; but l afterwards refused to be
bound by the agreement, giVing as a reason
for so doing, that their attorney had inform
ed thern that it could not be done. But
upon further investigation he discovered
that it was because there was no money in
the operation.
After detailing at-' length, his interview
with Mr.' Vankirk, one of the Commission
ers, he said there was but one thing left to
do, and that was for the lo • owners to apply
to the Court for an injuncion, and restrain
them from any further action in the matter
until a settlement is obtained.
The report was accepteci.
Mr. King moved that the Committee be
authorised to apply:for an .injunction against
.the Commissioners, restraining them from
removing any more bodies from the grave
yard until a settlement is Obtained.
The motion wasNadopted.
, Mr. Devore moved that each lot owner be
required to pay to the CoMmittee the sum
of three•dollars, and those not having the
money to pay should give, their • certificate
as security.
The motion was adopted.-
• The .Chairman moved that a CommittPie
oh finance be - appointed who should also be
authorized to collect the alasPasment made,
and•also to make a recorcqof the names of
the lot owners.
The motion was adopted and the Chair
appointed Benjamin Devitt. James McKain
and George Wilson as the Committee.
Onto lion, Mr. Robert King was added
to the Committee. •
Mr.. White moved that all persons having
made single interments in the graveyard
be assessed one dollar each. The, motion
was adopted.
In accordance with the above resolutions.
about fifty dollars were paid into the
treasury. •
Mr. Henry presented the &noising reso.,
lution:
Resolved, That this meeting appeal to the
members of the different Methodist church
es of this, city for aid in -defending their
rights 'to:the' &mind- consecrated to the
burial of their dead, and ' that. pastors be

(Before Judge Sterrett.]
Court met at the usual hour on Monday
and transacted the following business.:
BURGLARY AND LARCENY.
John Clark, John Wilson and Patrick
Simption, three lads; were placed on trial
for burglary and larceny. J. N. Jordan.
.
residing and keeping store at No. , 213 Web

the 18th of 4ugust his store IAjAS broken
into and robbed of; some five -dollars in
1
fractional'currency find nickel cents, a hox
of cigars and a number of base balls. The
thieves entered the store over the transom
at the front door, which it seems was un
fastened. Mr. .Jordon identi lied sonic of
the base balls - exhibited, but would not
positively say that a box of cigars, also
shown, was his property. Policemen testi
fied to the arrest of the defendants and to
finding in the possession of one of them the
box of cigars exhibited. After they had
- been locked up in the. tombs they were
taken out and searched, but nothing likely
to have been strih ri found with them. The
Captain ef the Police remarking that lie ob
served one of the boys with a base ball, a
further search led to the discovery of five
base balls-and a number of old coppers tied
in a rag concealed in the ventilator of the 1
cell odeupied by the prisoners.
No e itnesses were offered for the defense.
It iwas contended the charge of burglary
was not sustained, the store having "be( n
entered, it appeared, without any break
ing. The Commonwealth did not insist
upon a conviction on the burglary count.
The evidence in the case, while it strongly_
indicated guilt, did not conclusively estab
lish it. Verdict, guilty of larceny, and re
commended to the mercy of the Court.
Sentence deferred.

For a slight blow
on the cheek he drew his handy-billy - and
inflicted repeated blows (he did not know

liceman separated them, and who, from his
observation, had arrested Murdoch as the
worst of the combatants. Learning, how
ever, that he had an officer in custody, he
released hiM and took Delany in charge,
and convoyed him to the tombs. When
the case came On to be heard before the
Mayor, it was in the shape of a charge of
assault and battery against. Delany, prefer
red by Murdoch. It VS a fair conclusion
that Murdonli assumed the role of prosecu
tor,_not through an honest belief that be
was the injured or aggrieved party, but in
the hope of
. closing the mouth of Delaney.
' As an officer he could not justify his _brutal
conduct, and standing in the relation of a

a knife upon hint, was he not armed him

Our Observatory
The pliblic may be interested to know
what haA been done to th 4 Observatory
since it Was transferred tol the Western
University. A large debt has been paid,
the Chair of the Director, Prof. S. P. Lang
ley, has been endowed. At the present
time workmen are engaged in altering, the
dome and making repairs on the building
preparatory to the receipt of the new in
stmiments which have been ordered.
The equat,rieal has been taken down_
and put in complete repair, and the labor
of renovating it will, it is hoped, be com
pleted this month. Piers ior the transit are
nearly completed_ and the European
niakers promise the instrument itself the
present month. The Clock, which h s been
in process of ?onstruction in London the
past few Imont is, is now passing through
the New York _lustopi !louse. 'f he maker
of this instrument stands at the he id of
ills profession i,in the world, and we have
the best a-kurance that no more
perfect specimen of the art of horology
has ever ben seen. The Chrono

in this country, the best maker's of that in

Overcoat Stolen—The-Thief Captured
The baiarding house of Mrs. Young, at
the corner of Oliver and Carson streets,
Birmingham, was visited by one of those
meanest of alrthieves, a boarding house
offerer, last week, and Saturday morning
he walked away with an overcoat valued at
;GO, the property of Williem Phillips, a
mill hand, who boards at the house. The
thief came to the house and obtained board
ing on Wednesday, giving his name as Jchn
Rine, and on Saturday morning, af er Phil
lips had gone to work, Rine entered his
room, took the coat and left the • premises.
About two o'clock Phillips returned to the
house and missing his coat made inquiry
about it when ho ascertained that no one
had left the house since he had departed
in 'the morning, except Rine. Officer
Stemler, of -South Pittsbufgh, being
informed of the theft, and receiving a
description of the thief, started in pursuit
and succeeded in arresting him Sunday
morning on Carson street, Birmingham,
and took him to Justice Saulsbury's office,
v, lien an information for larceny. was made
against him. Rine admitted_ that he took
the coat, but refused to give any informa
tion that would lead to its recovery. He
stated that he had left it at a house on Pike
street, and afterwards said lie had given it
to another man who took it to Allegheny.
aecompan.ed by officer Yogic, vis
ited a seccnd hand clothing establishment
on Fifth avenue, in the F.fth ward, where
he found a coat which he identified as the
one stolen from him. The proprietor of
the establishment, however, refused to Ltive
it up. If the coat is clearly identified he
may get himself into trouble by refusing
to return it ti:;N the owner.
Arrested on Suspicion.
Yesterday aftmloon a Mrs. Rolfe from
the South side had her pocket picked of
twenty-five dollars while making some
purchases in Lynch's store, on, Market

upper end of the counter when two well
dressed women came in and separately
took positions on either side of her, After
looking at the goods, and making some in
quiries in regard to the quality and price,
they took their departure without making
any purchases. Shortly after they left Mrs.
R. d scovered that her pocket had been
picked, and making the fact known to
Mr. Lynch ho followed the ladies who had
just left the store. They proceeded to the
Birmingham car station and taking a car
rode to Birmingham and then returned,
Mr. Lynch going in the same car. When
they returned he called an officer and had
them arrested. They were taken to the

The Mayoralty.
Editorx Gazette: I arn informed that Mr.
Blackmore has quite a number of persons
engaged in canvassing the city for signa
tures to a card, calling on him to become a
candidate for Mayor. If such is the ease,
and I have no doubt of it, I would remind
any of our Republican friends who may be
inclined to sign the call, through personal
friendship, that Mayor Black more emphati
cally expreSses his intention to vote for
Seymour and Blair, and use 'id' the influ
ence at his cornmand to secure their elec
tion. Should the Republicans he so un A i•e
as to again place him the head of affairs
in this city. it will undoubtedly be claimed
as a great Democratic triumph. Let us re
member our humiliation last year, when
the disloyal newspapers all over the coun
try g'oried most uxultim ly over what
they termed a victory, in the 'election of a
Democratic! Mayor in the city of Pittsburgh.
Why, a Democratic Congre;sman 0., on con
temptuously introduced a resolution in
Congress "declaring Pittsburgh out of the
Union until she should be reeenstructed
and the Post could hardly procure enough
roosters to crow at the result. I, trust
Republicans will keep in mind these facts.
and "reconstruct" the city in October, by
the election of Mr. Brush (who is in every
way as competent; at least, - Mr. Black
more,) to the Mayoralty, on the !eve of a ,
great victory in November or Grant and
Colfax. ~ F.

Most Bitters of the present day that are
loudly puffed through the n wapapers as
having great curative propeties are vile
compounds and base Impositions, contain
ing no medicinal virtues whatever, and are
really very poor whisky beverages, and,
instead of acting as a stimulant and tonic,
have a tendency to weaken thb stomach by,
entirely, destroying the coating. The public
should therefore be very cautious and pur
chase none but Boback's Bt mach Bitters,
which have stood the test EFS a remedial
agent fot many years, and are really as
their name indicates, a stoma it bitters and
not a beverage. They combin the proper
ties of the best tonic and a stimulant—a
laxative,
an efficient and anti-bilious agent
mid the best stomachic known to the world,
and when taken in conjunction with 80.
back's Blood Pills, are the safest and surest
preventive against all bilious derangements,
thoroughly regulating the whole system
and giving tone 'Co the digestive pigans.
They are highly recommended - as an in
vigorating temie to mothers while , nursing,
increasing the flow of milk, and r conva
lescents' to restore the prostration which
always follews long-continued isickness,
they are unsurpassed. No loubehold
should consider themselves safe :frtim the
ordinary maladies without thestilliviitiable
medicines. They can be obtainbd 'X any
druggist. • ' . ) rrsF
