COLONIZATION

who represents himself to be John i , Jones,
in which 'I am charged with attem Aitig to
colonize him' hi Westmoreland co inty, in
order thiit his vote Might be had against
Covode. ,!A•'portion of his atildavi is true.
The materiallparts ar'e simply false What.
Is true I will state.' Last night, just at'
the dook ofl my ofilee, I was ccosteif
by a young , man who inquired f "that
was Keenan's °Mee." • I asked him
"which i Keenan." He replied, "Ed.
Keenan,;'
. .when I informed him that
was my Mime. He said he had "got into a'
fuss and had! to leave the city—had been
informed that I had Work going on in the
country, and could eve him a job, :l and
that he wanted . to go o t into the Westniore
land district to Vote aiinst the "Alligator."
I told. im Iliad no w o rk for him, but that
work was plenty in the country, and I did
not doubt be could get it if he went after it,
and asked him who sent him to me. He
said "Mr. Neeson who; keeps a hotel on Penn
street." The ct of his coming to mein that .
way and the promptness of .his replies, I s
well as his anxiety to have me employ him,
led me to believe that this wassimply an
other of the "jobs" that our Radical friends
had setup, and desirous to learn the facts,
I told him to walk upstairs, as I wished to
sea a man. I then procured a horse and .
buggy, and in company with Charles B.
Strain drove out to Mr. Neeson's Hotel ;
saw him and learned' that the statements
of Jones, who represented himself as
"Johnson" to me, were entirely false. On
my return I found him still at , the rooms,
and upon declining again to employ hint,
and assuring him that I was not in the im
porting business; he 'requested the "loan"
—as he called it—of Money enough to get
out of the city, naming East Liberty as his
destination, when I gave him a dollar; and
he left, and I passed into the next room,
where I found Alderman Strain, John
C. Dunn, Robert S. Lynch, Capt. Thomas
Ponder, Daniel W. Boss, R. C. G. Sproul,
David Flerbert and John O'Conner. I im
mediately informed them that a job had
been "put up," and gave them the facts.
The statements of "Jones," alias "John
ston," co -- to what occurred in that room -
while he was waiting for my return, are
sufficientt refuted by, the card accompany
ing this, si fined by thetn.
That I :it ould tell JOnes, after my return
from Neesm's, and after I knew he was
lying, that the colonization business was
going alon "first rate," and that I had
shipped "e ghteen men that afternoon." is
simply abstird, and bears upon its own face
the impress of a lie—which I pronounce it
to be. Men who engage in such operations
do not usually Inform strangers of the
facts; at least that would not be my prac
tice. - •
I gave the poor devil a dollar because he
had api Hal story to tell, and he rewards
the char ty by a slanderous oath—false in
every mitts vial part.
I may add that when I go into the colo
nization business I shall do it on a larger
scale tha l p is indicated by this alleged at
tempt. pile man and one dollar is not a
heavy lisiness.

[NoTEs.-1. Was It in accordance with
human nature that Mr. Keenan should- re
ward the man discovered in a gross false

the Democratic camp usually dismissed
With pecuniary presents, out of pure
,charity?
2.•l[f the Democrats are not colonizing
in Covode's District, why should Mr. Kee

- 3. If no colonizing is going forward, why
should Mr. Keenan have been so particular

the explosion took place. - The engineer,
Thomas Miller, was blown high into the

Unsucce.sofhl Attempt to Escape from the
Western i'enitentlam
During the early part of Tuesday nigh
last, a well-matured, determined, but un
successful attempt to escape from the West
ern Penitentiary, by a number of the
roughbst characters in the prison, devel
oped itself. !The following information is
from the officers of the prison, and of course
it is reliable: Noises were heard in the
new wing of the central block .of cells by
the watchman, who communicated the in
telligence to Mr. Shellenburger, the Depu
ty Warden, who summoned all the watch
men on duty. The noises indicated that a
co-operative movement was on foot, and
that the prisoners in both tiers of cells were
at work, apparently with the intention of
communicating with each other. They were
suffered to go on unmolested, however, for
HOlllO time, when suddenly all noises were
hushed. except seine whispering, which in
ilicatO that the operators had rendezvoused
In one cell.
_The Deputy Warden concluded
upon a coup-de.elat, and with that object in
view, gathered all the officers around', to
assist him in securing all theiparties engag
ed in the attempted escape. The door of
the cull was suddenly opened, and a blind
ing light directed upon the inmates. They
were taken by surprise, and shrunk back
to a remote part of the cell. They made no
effort to resist and were quietly marched
to other cells in charge of 4the officers.
An examination of the cells was made
after the prisoners had been removed, and
it was ascertained that the partition walls
of three cell had been cut through, and
that the stun floor in the cell in which the
prisoners ren ezvonsed had been partially
out through. It was evidently apart of the
I
plan above in 'mated, for the prisoners in
the upper cell to communicate with those
below, and th t feature attracted the offi
cers attention On opening the cell im
mediately b . the one entered above, it
was found td,be empty, and a further ex
amination showed that the three adjoining
cells were empty. A hole was found in the
floor of the fli - st cell, sufficiently large to al
low the passage of a man's body, and froin
the earth whh was piled up, it was evi
dent that th inmates were tunneling be
low, Knowii g that escape by such a course
was absolute y impossible, and feeling con
fident Wit hose engaged, in the effort
would soon - convinced of the folly of the
undertaking the Deputy Warden ordered
the flag stun: to bo replaced, and then had
the holes coximtinicating to the several
cells firmly ecured.
On Wedne. day morning the cell door was
again openem, and six prisoners were found
in it. They :tated that they had hoped to
reach the seer running from the Peniten
tiary to the ; ver, and supposed that they
could do so f om the vault running beneath
the floor in tle centre of the wing. They
did reach th- vatilt, but were completely
disheartened to find the connections to the
sower were ade by iron pipes not large
enough to admit a man's head. They
were all seeu ed and removed to cells from
which there sill be no escape.
The plan o tflose engaged was ah ex
ceedingly de. pCrate one, but betrayed en
tire ignorance o L t the plan of the building.
Even if an eiltr nc. could be obtained to
the sewer, s *cation is inevitable. The'
attempt will, oubtless, have a salutary 'ef
fect generally upon` those confined in that
institution, inuraily and ph2,-s.eally,

The Unhappy Wife.
What a mask the unhappy wife is forced
for prudence and self-respect, to wear over
that poor tear-dewed face of hers! If she
does not wear it, and if she lets the tears
down in the sight of all, - burning plow
shares will not be too hot for her feet to
walk on, and she must carry • live coals
from the world's altar,
though they scorch
her trembling fingers to the bone- Full of
sympathy as the world is for her sorrows if
only delicately indicated—lifting a mere
'oorner of the vail daintily—it has neither
sympathy nor respect if broadly shown
and rung into its ears through, a si:x-fixit
speaking •trumpet. But the mask of the
ill-mated sponse, male or female, must be
peculiar manufacture and careful manipu
lation; the kind more usually adopted, be
cause most generally approved of, being
one embodying a gentle patience, a plain
tive manner of martyrdom—Saint Cedilla
exhaling her soul jn mournful music, Saint
Sebastian lyingt4peochless under the cruel
arrows piercing hts heart. But no gentle,
loving partner of n'tiv• joys need wear any
maskAo blind the world if she owns ono of
those magnificent trunks Just received by
'Joseph Liobler, at the Premium Trunk
Factory, No. 104, Wood street. Those are
the best specimens of durable and well
made sole leather trunks ever displayed in
Pittsburgh, and will arrest the attention of
those wishing any thing in the line. Lieb
lees stock is full and complete in all its de
partments, and his prices are yery xea
amiable.

Arrest of a Horse Thief.
Officer Shaffer yesterday afternoon ar
rested a man named Edward Nan, a horse
skinner by trade, charged with being one
of a party who stole a horse from J. G.
Smith, of Ross township, during Wednes
day night last. Nau was seen on the road
in that vicinity with the stolen property by
some party who gave the necessary infor
mation to secure his arrest. He was ar
rested, as stated, at his residence in the
Seventh ward. The . . names of two other
parties are known, but for prudential
reasons ,we forego publication. They are
being looked after with a sharp stick, and
will be brought to grief. Nau acknowl
edges the theft, and put the of on the
track for• the recovery of the animal. He
remains in the lock-up and will doubtless
have a bearing to-day.
Affectionate,elatlves.
Stephen Kelley and. Thomas Kelley, with
their families, hail from "Ye Morrie Eng-,
land." Stephen has been a resident of
America for some time, and being pleased
with the place, he sent over for Thomas,
I who arrived in the country `a few weeks
Ago. Since his arrival, Thomas and his
family have been occupying a house on Vir
gin alley jointly with his brother. Things
went smoothly enough until Thursday af
ternoon, when the women folks of the es
tablishment stirred up a little breeze,
which resulted in Thomas and family being
stirred very unceremoniously from about
the premises, after suffering , the hu
miliating indignity of being se
verely beaten. Yesterday morning
Thomas went to the house for the purpose
of removing his household effects, but was
completely thwarted in his design, and
main driven from the place by his Wee
,
tionate relations. This was too much for
him, and he accordingly repaired to Alder
man McMaster's office, and lodged infor
mations against his brother fvr assault
and battery and larceny as bailee. The last
offence consisted in the retention of his
goods, amountinr , in value to ten dollars, to
wit : one trunk ° seven dollars, a lot of
quensware three dollars. The defendant
was arrested and after a hearing commit
ted n default of $3OO bail for trial. Subse
ii
Tie tly one of the neighbors made an in
for ation before Alderman Strain against
Step en for disorderly conduct, the little
episode having created quite a disturbance
in , the vicinity of its occurrence. On this
information Stephen was fined twenty-five
dollars, in default of which he was commit
ted to jail for thirty days. Family quarrels
always end unpleasantly.
Stole Ms Carpet Sack.
A deck — hand named James France, em
ployed on the steamer Kenton, came before
Mayor Blackmore yesterday morning and
instituted suit against John Heath, charg
ing him with the larceny of his carpet
sack, with contents. It appears that the
defendant had been previously employed
on the same boat, but had been discharged.
He was obserVed leaving the boat with the
stolen property ,in hie-possession. A war
rant was issued, and officer Irwin succeed
ed in arresting him shortly afterwards. He
had a hearing before His Honor in the af
ternoon, when he disclaimed intending lar
ceny., The carpet sack having subsequent
iy been found by officer Messner in the sec
ond story of a house at which defendant
had been stopping counteracted the good
effect the disclaimer might have had, and
His Honor required him to give bail, fail
ing to procure which he was committed to
jail.
Submerged—Temporary Inconvenience. '
The heavy rain yesterday evening put
our friend Mr. Burns, proprietor of a res
taurant on the corner of Sixth avenue and
Smithfield street,- out of sorts. Not only
Mr. Burns, but those hungry fellows who
sup with him. The restaurant is consider
ably below the pavement. For the_purpose
of constructing a new vault the pavement
along Sixth avenue was taken up and the
excavation made to the curb. The rain,
came, however, when least expected, and
the consequence was that the volume of
water rushing doWn Sixth avenue, washed
under the curb ,and over, until alinost to
tally undermined, it finally gave away, and
allowed the water to run in unchecked,
tilling Mr. Burn's apartment to the depth
ofseveral feet. The damage to Mr. B. is
considerable.
The Property of the • Marathon Silver-
Mining Company. /
In the purchase of their very valualAe
property the company made use of every
precaution which business tact, and a regard
for the interest of their stockholders dicta
ted. In the case of the Marathon Mine,
not 'only Were the" reports of mining engi
neers in Austin required, but a thorough
examination by one of the principal share
holders was made on the slio. The title
pipers were thoroughly examined, and
searches made by t e best talent in the
country. The con equence is that the
Marathon Compilny can to-day offer the
roost promising mining investment before
the public. The officers of the Company
are thorough business men and stand high
in the community In which they live.
Painful Accident
Miss McCatlin, a daughter of Mr. John
McCallin, corner of Elm and Wylie streets,
met with an'unfortunate accident on Thurs
day, while visiting the fair now in progress
at Beaver. The horse attached to the buggy
in which she was riding frightened from
some cause and ran off. The buggy was up
set and the young lady thrown out, the
wheels of the vehicle passing over her ankle,
breaking the bone. She was conveyed to
the residence of her uncle; where she re
ceived medical attendance, and was subse
quently brought to her home, in this city,
where she is getting along as well as could
be expected.
Pittsburgh Female College.—The Fall
Term of this really meritorious institution
has opened under flattering auspices, the
attendance indicating an unusual degree of
prosperity. Accessions are constantly com
ing in, but the capacity of the school is not
taxed to the detriment of the scholii — st
Much has been favorably said of this Col
lege, its general management, course of.
study,, and character of the educators, and
We can only reiterate that the College is an
ornament to our city and has given us a
wide reputation, and deseryes liberal pat
ronage.
Noonday Prayer Meeting.—The noonday
prayer meeting, under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association, and
hold at their rooms, No. 51 Fifth street,
still continues with unabated interest. The
special topic for to-day is the Sunday school
cause, which should no sufficient to attract
the attendance of Christian workers in
largo numbers. Accoinmodations have
been made for ladies, and a special invi
tation is extended ko them-to be present.
Evening School.—We would again call
attention to the fact that the evening ses
sion of the Iron City College, corner of
Penn and St. Clair streets, commence on
Monday next; and every young man who
can should make It a point to attend. Com
petent teachers are provided for each de
pertinent, and every facility is afforded for
acquiring a thorough knowledge of Book-
Keeping, Penmanship and Arithmetic.
The Carpet-baggers of the South aro
meeting with ill luck, as they generally
had not the good sense to supply them
selves,with those of Joseph Liebler's make,
No. 104 Wood street. A man traveling
with a trunk, valise or carpet sack of such
excellent make as Liebler alone turns out,
would command the respect of any strange
people among whom he might find hifuself.
A hint in time is sufficient.
In noticing the Holien Knitting Machine
we were in error, thronghmisapprehension,
as to Its capacity. It has merits sufficient to
commend It to public attention without
exaggeration, as all will testify on exam
ining the one on exhibition at Straw t

Complete Deafness Radically Cured.
D• D. Sines, a well known citizen of this
city says: For several months I had been
painfully afflicted and entirely deprived of
hearing in my left ear, accompanied with
singing and roaring sounds which were
exceedingly disagreeable. Through the
advice of a friend I was induced to apply to
Dr. Aborn, of No. 134 Smithfield street.
By one operation, and in the space of five
minutes, my hearing was restored and re
lieved of all unpleasant sensations. The
cure was effected some time last winter,
and there being no return of any of the
symptoms since lam enabled to say that
cure Is a radical one. D. D, SINES.

When the PLANTATION BITTERS were
first made known to the American people
some seven years ago, it was supposed they
were an entirely new thing, and had never
before been used. So far as their general
use in the United States is concerne, this
may be true. It is also true that the same
Bitters were made and sold in the Island
of St. Thomas, over forty years ago, as any
old planter, merchant or sea captain doing
business in the West Indies will tell you.
It is distinctly withi my recollection that
on the return of m father (who was a
sea captain, and doi g an extensive trade
in the tropics,) he aid invariably have
the Bitters among th ship's stores, and our
family sideboard w nevar without them.
For any sickness, it atters not how severe
or trifling, the decantr of these Bitters, by
a different name, w always resorted to as
a sovereign remedy.

Advice That Should Be Heeded.
We desire to call the attention of the af
flicted to the merits of Roback's Blood
Pills, a purely vegetable cathartic, free
from mercury and all. Mineral poisons, and
undoubtedly the best remedy extant for the
radical cure of nervous and sick headache,
bilious disorders and all affections of the
Liver and Blood. They are, as their name
indicates, a Blood Pill; they search the blood
for disease and strike at the very root, there—
by effecting not temporary but permanent
cures. As a purgative, they are all that
can be desired, being mild and safe in their
operation and unquestionably one or our
most satisfactory Cathartic Pills, and should
be kept in every household, and, when to-.
ken in conjunction with Roback's Blood
Purifier, are unequalled for curing Scrofula,
Skin DiSease, Old Sores, 'Salt Rheum, Dys
pepsia, Erysipelas, Tumors, Eruptions, and
all diseases arising from a disordered state
of the blood or a disorganized state of the
system. Try.these medicines and you will
never regret it. Ask those who have u=ed
them, and they will tell you they are the
best of medicines. Sold by all druggists
everywhere. TTST
