on the Birmingham Passenger Railway
broke down on Smithfield street, near
Third. 'The car was tilrdd with passengers

the accident caused but little,irregularity
in the running of the other cars.
Cutting' Affray at S tewa rtstown.—Mo n d ay
night a cutting affray took place in Stew
artstown, in which John Gift was seriously

a knife and struck at Gift, inflicting a severe
wound on the abdomen. No arrest was
made.
Colllslon.--A. collision occurred on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, near Cresson, Mon.
day night, between two freight trains. The
engines of both trains were considerably
damaged and sixteen cars were thrown
from the track and partially wrecked. It
is stated lhat several persons were injured,
but to what extent we have• been unable to

careleisness of the switch tender.
Boy Shot.—On Sunday afternoon two
boys, named respectively O'Neill and Col
lins, were playing in a metal yard on Third

means a pistol in the hands of Collins went

leg. The injured boy is about ten years of
age and the son of a widowed mother. Col
lins is fifteen or sixteen and is said to be
demented. It is not known whether the
shooting Was accidental or intended,
Fatal Result.,--We noticed about two
weeks ago that Wesley Ringgold. a fire
man on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
had one of his legs caught between two
passing engines and so badly crushed as to
render amputation necessary. Every at
tention was paid to the unfortunate man,
but notwithstanding all that could be done,
death ensued on Monday afternoon. W.
H. Devore; undertaker, took charge of the
remains and forwarded them to Altoona,
the former home of the deceased.
Larceny of a Pocket-Book.—Mary Vick
made information before the Mayor, yester
day, charging Oliver M'Cutcheon with lar
ceny. It appears that the prosecutrix,
whil%in an auction store on Fifth avenue,
yesterday, had her pocket picked Of a pock
eSbook containing seven dollars and fifty
Cents, and she alleges that M'Cutoheon was
the only person near, her after ebe entered
the store. A warrant was issued for the
arrest of theacensed, but it is not-probable
that a case can be made out against him.
An Unruly Son.—John Vernon, Sr., made
information before the Mayor yesterday,
charging his son John Vernon, Jr., with
assault and battery. He alleges that the
accused threw a stone at him, striking him
In the eye and knocking him down, and
that he kicked him after he was down. If
John, Jr., had been properly caredfor, and
trained In his youthful days, it is, not pro
bable that his father would have been un

Eliza Carlan, the women who were arrest
ed on Monday, charged with picking Mrj.
Rolfe's pocket, hi Lynch's store, on Mar
ket street, had a bearing yesterday, and in
default of the required bail for their ap
pearance at Court. were committed to jail.
It transpirMon the investigation that the
women have traveling companions, with
them, and the supposition is that they were
met on the street by the men Who were
traveling with them and the pocketbook
transferred to their keeping;

LABOR Bk.FOBIII CONVENTION.
Nominations for Mayor, Controller and
Treasurer --b r Resolutions ....Slim Attend- '
once and Lively 'I ime.
Pursuant to published notice the dele
gates to the Labor Reform City Convention
assembled las evening 'in Boilers' Hall,
corner of Fit, h
avenge and Smithfield
street, for the purpose of ptitting in nomi
nation candidates for city offices at the en
suing municipal election. -
The Convention was called to , order at
eight o'clock by Mr. George Bather, Chair
man of the Labor Roform Executive Com
mittee, who made a few remarks explana
tory of the object of the meeting, and urg
ins upon_timcdelegates the importance of
carefully and harmoniously conducting the
proceedings that they might result in the
selection of men who, if elected, would
worthily discharge the duties of the offices
which they are called to fill.
On motion-of H. G. McCurry, a tempo
rary organization was effected y de
nating George Baber, Esq., as resid e,
and Samuel A. Steele as Secrete y.
Mr.. Win. McLaughlin moved at a Com
mittee on Permanent Organiz tion be ap
pointed.
Motion carried and Messrs. Wm. Mc-
Laughlin, J. M. Eakman and S. S Lam
bert were appointed on said Co mitee.
On motion of Mr. Matthew H ddo k, the
Chairman appointed a Commit ee on Cre
dentials' consisting of Mr. M. Haddock,
J. Creaghan and B. A. McGinty.
The Committets then retired, and the
delegates gave themselves up to recreation,
conversation and canvassing for .about:
three-quarters of an hour, vhen oneof
them. being tired of doing nothing in par
ticular, arose and asked the Chairman for
the report from the Committee on Perma
nent Organization.
The Chairman stated that the report-had
been handed in, but that it would not be
proper to receive it until the report froui
the Committee ;on Credenties had been act
ed upon. This report havi g nut been pre
sented, the delegates subsided.
Another delegate then moved that the
Committee on Credentials be-discharged;
and a new Committee be appointed. He
wanted the Convention to get to business.
That's what he had come for. -
- It was suggested that the Committee
should have time to make their report, as
it was no small job.
The motion being put it was lost, and
delegate No. 2, paced hors du combat,
A few minutes later another impatient
reformer, doubtless thinking the Commit
tee needed ref r mation , jumped to his feet
and moved tha ta Committee be appointed
to wait upon the Committee on Credentials
for their report, and if there was any dis
pute regarding contested seats or anything
else, that another Committee be appointed
to adjust all difficulties. ,
This motion, after considerable discus
sion, was adopted andthe Committee ap
pointed. Just as they arrived at the door
of the room in which the Committee on
Credentials were operating, the door swung
on its binges Mid that Committee appeared
marching up in/procession tea conspicuous
position in frolic, of the Chairman and with
becoming dignity informed that official
that they werer 13 ady to report.
All eyes were turned in the direction of
the Chairman of the Committee, as he read
their report, pefacing the reading, ihow
ever, with the emark, that if the Com mit
tee had been let alone,the report would have
been given a great deal sooner. The dccu
ment accorded seats in the Convention to
the following delegates:
First Ward—Ge i o. Babes. P. J. 'Begin,.

The report was received and the Commit-.
tee on Credentials, along with the Commit
tee appointed to bring thorn in, dis
charged.
Mr. Higgins moved to appoint a Commit- 1
tee on Contested Seats. The motion was
amended by making theidecision of
the C mmittee final, and adopted. Messrs.
Coyle,Clay and Lambert were appointed
said Committee.
While the Committee on Contested Seats
were out, the report of the Committee on
Permanent Organization was received,
which was as follows:
President—George Bober.
Vice Presidc7o.s-11. A. McGinty and John 1
Crearthari. ,'
&cretary--;l•anmel A. Steele.
Mr. Higginti moved that the report; be
adopted. 1
Mr. McGrath stated that one of :the gen
tlemen named in the report hadiiis teat in
the Convention contested, and 'he there
fore moved to lay their report on the table
until the appr l opriate Committee settled the
case.
The remainder of the report was then
adopted.
A delegate moved that business be pro..
ceeded with, but withdrew his motion when
informed that. the Committee on Contested
Seats must first report, who had the right
to engage in the said business. That im- ,
portant Committee now presented their re
port, awarding seats as follows:
Ninth warn—F. McGann, John Creaghan.
Tenth wall—B. F. McGrath,..J. Freder
ick.
Twelfth and—W. B. Reed, Matthew
Green.
The report as adopted.
Mr. H. B. Worry now thought it, was
time for the , onvention to preceed to nomi
nations, and made a motion to that effect,
which\ recoi'ed the approbation of the
Convention and was carried. ,
A delegate suggested that it would be
prope first t f adopt the report of the Com
mittee, on . :.
ermanent organization and
ratify the se ection of Mr. John Creaghan
us oneof th.3(Vice Presidents. :-
It was suggested that the report had been
adopted with the exception of that portion
relating to Mr. Creaghan, which the report
of the. Cordmitted on contested seats
i-
de
cided.) .
Mr. Creaghan now arose and gracefully,
but emphatically declined the very high
honor of occupying the position of Vice
President of the Convention.
Mr. Creaghan's polite, resignation was
accepted.
Ndminations for Mayor were now de
clared in order.
Mr. Haddock nominated James Black
more. .
John Creaghan nominated Thomas W.
Wright.
Mr. McLaughlin said he was authorized
to withdraw the name of Mr.: Wright.
Mr. Creaghan wished to know his au
thority., _
. Mr: McLaughlin referred him to Mr.
Wright, who was present.'
Mr; Wright being thus appealed to, rose
from . among the visitors in the rear part of
the hall nod declined to be a candidate for
the nomination. , i
Mr. Creaghan—l now nominate Charles
Jeremy
• Mr. Haddock—Mr. President, I had the
floor before that man, and I now move that
the nomination for Mayor close with the
nomination of ',limes Blackmore. - '
Mr: Haddock's motion was carried and
the chair announced the nomination of Mr.
n
Blackmo. ' -
idr.:Creaghan—How is Unit ,Mr. Presi
dent? Did you say that the nomination
MIS unanimous?
Ch•ilr—No Sir. - I simply stated that Mr.
Blackmore was the nominee.
Chairman
the Delegate (furiously)—Mr. Chairman,
the nomination was unanimous, and should
be announced so. -
Mr, Creaghan—Mr. President, it ain't so.
I voted against him, and there are othbrs
'0 GA r INESDAT. SEPTEMBER 16, IE6B.
who did the same thing. Don't announce
it as unanimous, for it Isn't,
Nominations for Controller were next in
Mr. P. H. Higgins nominated Thomas W.
Wright.
Mr. Wrlght'e nomination was made unan
imous.
Mr. McCauley moved to proceed with
the nomination of a treasurer. Carried.
Mr. McCauley nominated W. F. Mc-
Bride and Mr. lidcGAath nominated J. B.
Kirk. -
Mr. McGinty wished to make ,a few re
marks before this nomination was made.
It was the most important one that
would be made. If a judicious nomination
was made it would help to strengthen the
remainder of the ticket. Great caution
should be used in the selection of a proper
candidate, as it was well known that this
was the point on which the ticket was ex
pected to be strong. If it was carried the
rest would , be much easier.
Mr. M'Grath moved to appoint two tellers
to receive the votes of the delegates by
marking.
Mr. M'Cauley moved to amend by voting
orally.
Mr. M'Grath considered that no amend
ment, and r.•fused to accept it.
Mr. M'Canley insisted that it was a prop
er amendment.
Mr. Higgins contended that every man
had a right to vote as he pleased, and
ought not to be forced into calling out for
a candidate, so that. everybody would know
for whom he voted. Ho thought marking
was the fairest 'way and ought to be adop
ted.
Mr. M'Cauley insisted on his amend
ment.
Mr. McGrath insisted on the original mo
tion. .
A delegate moved "that all them in fa-
Nor of Mr. McCauley's plan will rise to
theirfeeta, and after they have voted all
them in favor of Mr. McGrath's plan will
rise to their feels and tlie question will be
fixed,"
This motion was lost.
The marking now proceeded and was
about finished, when a delegate asked if the
- ward delegation had voted. The
Chairman stated that they had not handed
in their credentials.
Delegate— ,, Why. Mr. President, I am
told that they hatiVed in the right papers
at the desk.'
A voice,
make out."
- -
Secretary— Mr President I have a paper
here which I can't make out. Perhaps
that's it.
Cairman of Committee on Credentials—
Yes, Mr. President, that paper was handed
in to us but we couldn't - -make it out:
The writing was so bed that we had to lot
it go.
- Ist Delegate—Well, let them vote, they
are here.
-
Several voices—" Yes, never mind the
paper, lot theM vote."
Tois was agreed to and "they", consist
ing of one man, marched up and recorded
"their" vote;after which teller announc
ed the total vote as follows :
W. F. Mcßride 19
J. S.Rirk
• .
Oa motion, Mr. Mcßride was dec:areci
the unanimous choice of the Convention
for the offic , of City Treasurer. .
. -
A delegate now said: Mr. President,
there is one thing.we forgot. : We ought to
have had a Committee ott Resolutions. I
move that there be one appointed now.
Carried, and Messrs. Gray, Lambert, Mc-
Curry and McGrath appointed said Com
mittee.
A number of the delegates by this time
bad resolved to go home, and despite the
soli . citations of the Chairman they would
go wt hoot hearing the resolutions read,
The Committee 2 etired, and after a short
absence reported as follows:
Resolved, That this Ceinvention, composed
of representations of the Labor Re'orm or
ganization of the city of Pittsburgh, hereby
reaffirm the importance to the working

and in strict consi-tency with the great
principles of that mov,uient. as set forth in
the platform of the National Labor Congress
that met in Chicago, August 111th, 18437. '
Resolved, That the Labor Reform party,
composed, as it is, of citizens having oppo
site party anttcedents, stands, independ
ently, upon its own well defined principles,
and, when ,co operating with either of the
old political parties in a local election, does
upon the distioct understanding that thil
existents) of its own separate organizatioa
is not thereby to be compromised; and that
such co•operation is never to be oncourag,ed
except when the principles of labor reaatin
and the intere•ts of the industrial -classes
can thereby he promoted.
Resolved, That all workin7men In the
city of Pittsburgh are hereby earnestly

the people of this District.
Mr. Creaghan—DO the resolutions call for
an undivided support of the ticket nomi
nated?
Chairman—They do, if I have understood
them.
Mr. Creaghan—Well, then, Mr. Presi
dent, I resign my position as a member of
the City Executive Cothmittee of the Labor
Reform Party. I'll not give my support to
the whole of that ticket.
After some discussion Mr. Creaghan's
resilination was accepted.
The resolutions were then adopted, and
the Cvnvention adjourned.
'Alleged Embezzlement
James Graham made Information beta.°
the Mayor charging Adam Mulligan with
embezzlement. The facts in the case, so far
as we could ascertain, are as follows: In
April last the parties by article of agree
ment entered into a partnership to conduct
a grain and commission business, and have
been conducting said business on Canal
Street until the present time. Recently
Graham concluded t , dissolve the pa. tner
ship and go into business with another man.
and without consulting Mulligan made ar
rangements for renting another store in
which to conduct the same business with
another partner. Mulligan learning -his
intentions consulted an attorney as to what
he should do in the matter, stating that he
believed Graham wanted io defraud him.
It appears tnat Mulligan had charge of the
books of the firm and attended to the
office business, such as drawing_ehecks,
&c. He stated that there aqua not
Money enough In the bank' belonging
to the firm to reimburse him for what he
had put in, and pay his share of the profits.
His attorney advised ti.m to draw out what
money there was d posited and hold it un
til such time os he could get a fair Bottle
meat. He acted In accordance with this
advice, and Graham, finding that he had
checked the money out, made the informa
tion' as stated. c.
It seems to us that the prosecutor has not
got a very strong case. Being a partner and
having charge of the books Mulligan had a
perfect right to check money out of the
hank, and so long as he did not abscond with
it he committed no offense. Whether he has
received a greater share of the funds of the
firm than ho was entitled to or not is a mat
ter for the civil Courts and not for the °rim.*
Fall and Winter Dry Goods.—New fall
and winter goods in endless variety are
now arriving at Bates & Bell's7No. 21 Fifth
street. Ladies will find many new novel
ties to please and delight them in 'the way
of dress roods, shawls and sacques. Call

of summer goods is being closed out at
most reasonable prices.

Daring Robbery.
Notwithstanding the fact that within the
last year the police force of the city has
been increased to over double its former
number, there never was a time when our
city was so infested with robbers, burglars.
and pickpockets as during the, last few
months. This class of pers ins appear to
have no fears whatever of being arrested
and even commit their depredations in
broid daylight on our principal husintl-s
streets. Yesterday we published an account
of a lady having her pocket picked, a a etch
stolen, and this morning we have to record
a still bolder robbery than either of those.
Between ton and eleven o'clock yesterday
morning Mr. Robert Suit n, a farmer re
siding in Chartiers township, went to the
banking house of the National Tres: Com
pany, on. Penn street, to deposit some
money. 119 was standing at the counter,
and had his money spread out in several
piles, counting it., There were several per
sons in the room at the time, among
others two sti angers, one - of - whom was
standing at the counter near Mr. S.
while the other was just behind him.
When Mr. Sutton had counted $1,150 the
man standing behind him plucked his coat
till. and called his attention to a one dollar
bill, which was lying on the floor near his
feet, and while Mr. S. stooped to pick it up
! the man who had been standing at his
side pick , d up the $1,150 and both he and
his confederate fled. Mr. S. repaired to the
1 Mayor's office and made informaiion, but
the bold thief has not yet been captured..
Burglar Arrested.
About half past nine o'clock last night
the watchman in Hay's Leather store, 102
Liberty etre -t, iheard some one working at
the front door I with a key, and secreting
himself awaited the result of affairs. He
) .1
had not long o wait however, until the
door opened, nd a man walked in. The
watchman dr d two shots at him but owing
to his excitement his aim was unsteady
and neither shot took effect. The report
of the pistol attracted the attention
of officer. M'Donouge and lki'Ginnis, wh.,
hurried to the spot and found the burglar
inside of the store. He made a desperate
fight to get away, but the offiePrs were too
much for him, and pu ting the "nippers" on
him took, him to the jock-up. He was
searched and a complete set of burglarr,'
tools were found on his person. He is
about forty-five years of age, a mediUm
sized man and has gray hair and beard.
He re:uses to give his-name.
Frightful Leap
James McElroy, residing in Mclntosh's
court, near Anderson street, Fourth ward,
Allegheny, jumped out of the window of
his bedroom, in the third story, to the
ground, breaking his back bone, fracturing
his legs and severely injuring himself in
ternally. The unfortunate man is unmar
ried, and resides with his widowed mtther.
He was a member of the Columbia Hook and
Lader Co. and attended the tournament
at Sandusky. On his return home he
seemed to be suffering from the effects of
excessive drinking, but on the evening in
question seemed to be better, and re
tired to bed early. About two o'clock
he was found on the pavement below by
his. friends, with the injuries as above
stated. Ho is receiving medical attention,
but the physician entertains no hope of
his recovery.
Distressing Accident
Yesterday morning, about half -past eight
o'clock, three boys, sons of ThomasNeeley,
Jacob Schuster and. William Pear, living
in Birmingham end employed in the box
factory attached to Millingar's planing
mill, got into a ski' and pushed out into
the river for a ride. The river was high
and the current strong, and in spite of the
efforts of the boys the boat was carried
down against some coal barges moored at
one of the piers of the bridge, upset, and
with the boys sucked under the barges.
The boat came out again at the lower end
but the bodies of the boys did not, and thus
far eh efforts to recover them have proved
unavailing. The boys' ages ranged from
twelve to fifteen years.

yesterday afternoon, and was witnessed by
a large concourse of spectators. The game
was quite exciting throughout and very
close, as is evinced by the score, which
stood, at the close of the ninth inning,
eighteen for the Olympics, and sixteen for
the Atlantics. The Atlantic boys, though
beaten, intend trying it again, when they
expect to reverse the result.
FALL GOODS.
New Styles at Popular Prices at J. W.
Barker A; Co-'s., No. 59 Market Street.
The sterling and ever , reliable wholesale
and retail dry goods house of Messrs. J. W.
Barker & Co., No. 59 Market street, with
th/ usual spirit of enterprise which has
marked its successful career for many years
past, has taken foremost raaki amongst the
establishments ready for the Fall trade, and
present a splendid new stock of seasonable
dry goods, at what may be rightly termed
popular prices. The goods have been se
lected with great care, and will certainly
please all tastes, being varied and rich in as
sortment. The styles which are to be in
vogue during the coming season are very
pretty and becoming, if we are to judge
from the splendid specimens of goods we
examined yesterday at thegreat emporium.
In the proper departments will be found
rich and elegant plain colored and fancy
silks which are as fine as any ever opened
in this city. In this line the firm has long
and deservedly held a high place
amongst .silk -purchasers, as they have
ever stud!ed to afford the widest range
of selection, presenting as many different
styles and patterns as can be found on the
counters of A. T. Stewart, or any other
leading dealer in the eastern cities. . A
splendid article of Bros grain black silk
will prove attractive to ladies. In other
dress goods the same variety and selection
is afforded. Every quality and shade of
merinos,plata alpaccas, all colors fine
striped plain and changeable poplins,
plain wool delains of best quality and all
colors, and dress goods of every known
material will be found at Barker's. The
shawl department has been stocked with
all the freshest novelties. The bright
plain long and square shawls, the ever
popular Paisley long and square shawls,
the black Thibet, long and square shawls,
and otner equally desirable makes, will be
found in great variety and at prices, this
season, which look much like old times.
The cloak department is up to the require
ment of the fine class of. trade-which has
ever been directed towards - this branch of
the home. Some of the walking sacques,
coats. cloaks and jackets in velvet cloth
and silk are beautiful and will not fail to
please the ladies. The cloth, cassimere
and housekeeping departments are snp•
plied to their fullest capacities for accom
modation with goods, and throughout the
commodious house the stock will be found
full and complete. Retail patrons will find
it their advantage to favor Barker & Co.'s
with a purchasing visit, while dealers who
buy to sell again will be equally well dealt
with.
The Up-Town Dry Goode House of Conroy
.5., Bell.
The day has gone past when it was ne
,
cessary !for our up town friends to come
down into the lower parts of the city to
make their purchases in the way of dry
goods, embroideries, lace goods, 'and gen
eral trimmings and notions. With the
growth of the city, new avenues of trade,
rivalling the best of the old ones, have been
made, and on them have been reared busi
ness houses equal - in every respect to those
immediately in the heart of the city which
have so long held their sway. As a
forcible illustration of the truth of this we
have but to refer to the elegant, well
stocked and fashionable 'frst class
dry goods emporium of Messrs. Conroy et,'
Bell, corner of High and Wyl;e streets,
The genth'men haying charge and prom ie
torship of this magnificent establishthent
are both well known to the business com
munity, having long conducted a Fifth
street house for the a commodation of the
jobbing trade. They are familiar with
every department of the trade, having both
almost been raised in the business. Long
identified with the trade, they understand
folly where to buy in the East and how to
sell to retail purchasers fully as well as most
dry go ;cis men in this end of the State•
The house is an elegant structure of four
stories. and every floor is furnished and
stocked with goods of the most unique pat
terns and finest fabrics. The sales room
on the first floor is the pink of neatness,
and shows that the proprietors know how
to keep goods, that buyers can in a moment
see their beauties in the most favorable
aspect. The stock is entirely new and fresh
and emibraces everything which a shopping
lady may desire. The various departments
are in charge of able and expe
rienced clerks, who take much pleasure
in showing good§ to visitors,- whether de
sirens of purchasing or not. We bespeak
for Messrs. Conroy & Bell a large share oT
public patronage, knowing them to be emi
nently worthy the confidence and support
of our friends. Their prices, owing to the
fact that they have no extraordinary ex
penses to be made in profits oil customers,
will always be found as low if not lower
than can be obtained elsewhere.
