On Monday Next.—R. Stockett Matthews
is announced to speak in the. City Hall on
Monday evening, Octobcr 12th? This intel
ligence will be appreciated, inasmuch as
considerable disappointment was experi
enced because of the failure of that gentle
man to fulfill an engagement at the Dia
mond in Allegheny, on Saturday- evening
last, owing to the illness of his wife. There
is no doubt of his, being present, and we
can safely predict a large meeting of citi
zens present to greet him.
Remains Found. —The remains of Alex
ander Mars, late Captain of the steamer
Baltic, notice of whose death from acci
dental drowning has already been pub
fished,: were fished up on Friday last in the
Ohio river. a short distance 'below Cincin
nati. They were in such a' decomposed con
dition as to defy all efforts' at identification,
the pants alone serving to effect that object.
His friends brought them to his late resi
dence in Baden, Beaver county, where they
were buried on Saturday last.
Probable Fatal Accident.--A man, whose
name we were unable to learn, while in an
intoxicated condition, on Sabbath after
noon,
fell over the bridge crossing Char
tiers Creek, about two miles from the city,
receiving injuries which will doubtless
prove fatal. He was conveyed to/Mercy
Hospital. He complains of his hack and
'wk. The physician. in attendance pro
nounces him in a very critical condition,
and expresses the opinion that he will not
survive many hours. A bottle containing
whisky was found near where he fell.
Opera House.—The attractions at this
place of amusement for the week are of a
more solid character thari - those of the week
just closed. The services of Mr. Mark
Smith, the distinguished comedian, have
been secured, and that gentleman appears
this evening as Sir Peter in the "School for
Scandal." Mi. Smith has a national repu
tation as a first-class actor, and we hdve
no doubt the rendition of the part he as
sumes will be highly acceptable. The
Stock Company is excellent, and the play
all through will be produced in good style.
Detective Commitment.—George Bishop,
committed a feed days ago by Alderman
Irwin, of the Twelfth (old Ninth) ward,
on a charge of larceny by bailee. was re
leased on the ground of a very trifling de
fect in the commitment, viz: the constable
is charged to deliver the body of George
Bishop to the keeper of the Indiana county
jail, instead of the warden of the jail
of this county. The very trifling omis
sion of the name of the prosecutor adds to
the defective character of the commitment.
The attorney for Bishop presented the
commitment to Court on Saturday last,
and-asked the release of his client, which
was ordered by Judge Sterrett.
In FridaVe paper we published an ac
count of a confidence game practiced cm
Mr. Samuel Sawyer. Our reporter made
more of the circumstance than he would
have done had he known the high position
and standing of Rev. Samuel Sawyer, w
was made to figure so largely in it. The
gentleman's confidence was in large meas
ure abused by the man who borrowed the
money from him, but he made the loan lin
charity and does not feel that be was guilty
of any great lack of discretion in even
helping a bad man in distress. We are
very sorry that the article found its way
into our columns, believing that it fur
nished the particulars of an affair which
should have been private.
In a Paneful Spirit
Jerry Driscoll, who keeps a tavern at 21
Webster street, had his door forced open,
several panes in the clOor sash and also in
the window sash broken, early on Sunday
morning, by John M'Carthy. John NMI re
fused admission and resorted to villence to,
accomplish that which he failed to effect
by gentle coaxing and persuasion. Dris
coll preferred a charge of malicious mis
chief against M'Carthy before Mayor
Blackmore, who issued a warrant for the
boisterous John. He has not yet been ar
rested. ,
Death of an Old River Pilot:
Mr. Tames H. Jones, a well-known citi
zen and pilot on these rivere, died very
suddenly at his residence in Birmingham,
on Friday, from apoplexy. While on duty
at his post in the pilot house, on Thursday,
he was overcome by a peculiar sensation,
and almost unconsciously he pulled the
bell rope, stopping the engine. The par
ties below not knowing the cause of deten
tion, hurried up and fouud the unfortunate
man partially unconscious, ono side of his
body <being entirely paralyzed. He I was
taken to his residence, and on Friday, had
another attack, which resulted fatally. The
deceased was well known, particularly
among river men, and his death will occa
sion considerable regret. Re was buried
yesterday afternoon, a large concourse of
persons following his remains to their last
resting place.
The Allegheny , Horse Thieves.
We have already referred to the arrest of
a man named Edward Nau, charged with
stealing a horse belonging to Mr. T. G.
Smith,;from his pasture field, on Wednes
day night last. From information com
municated by Nan to officer Bowden, it
was ascertained that two other parties,
named Mail and Shively, were concerned
in the theft. The officers succeeded in ar
resting Mail late on Saturday night, and
learned from him that the stolen horse had
been sold to a man named Niel Diamond,
receiving another horse and a cow In ex
change therefor. The, animal of Mr. Smith
has been recovered, as is also the horse and
cow of Mr. Diamond. Mall and Nau are
both in durance in the Allegheny lock-up,
and will have a hearing before His Honor,
Mayor Drum, this morning. Shively is
still at large, but will doubtless be arrested.
What Is Proposed.
Our sister city Republicans have entered
upon . the work determinedly to have a
grand closing demonstration prior to the
Oetober election. With a view of creating,
a rivalry among the different'clubs, a cost
ly silk flag is to be presented to the largest
equipped organization, participating In the
demonstration, all clubs from any quarter
of:the country_ being : ffiTileged and invited
to coMpete. The flag is being gotten up by
the ladies of Allegheny, -who never do
things by halves, and the -success of the
affair is only a matter of time. IL has been
further suggested, if practioable, to have
the procession some time this week, in or
der that the formal presentation ofj the flag
to the banner club can take place at the
Rink, on Monday evening, - and beil the oc
casion of a general jollification, at which
the Republican ladies could be present.
The programme is not well defined, but the
presumption Is, as we have stated, I that in
stead of ono there will be two demonstra
tions. 1

RAILROAD COLLISION.
Collision on the Panhandle Rafiroad—A
Conductor Kllied--Locomotive and Cars
Demolished.
A. terrible railroad collision , occurred on
Friday evening about half-past nine o'clock,
on the Panhandle Railroad at New Market
Station, Ohio, one hundred miles west of
this city. It seems that the express train,
Consisting of two passenger and two sleep
ing coaches, and one baggage and one ex
press car, left th Union Depot at 2:35 P. m g
Under charge Conductor P. K. Benner,
the train being ell filled with passengers
i i
and arriving n time .at New Market.
By orders the t in was to lay over at New
Market until 9:38 P. at. At the expiration
of that time, it started on its way, and had
proceeded about a mile west of the elation
when the Eastward bound freight train
came around the curve at the usual rate of
speed... Both engineers immediately re
versed their engines, whistled down
brakes, and _then jumped off,, the
distance intervening between the trains be
ing too short to prevent the collision. The
engines came together with terrible force,
completely wrecking them and crushing
several of the cars. The baggage and ex
press cars were considerably smashed,
while the pass nger cars shared the same
fate. The firs sleeping coach was also
crushed and br3ken, one of the passenger
coaches having been forced through it, a
distance of nearly four feet in the forward
end.
Just previous to the collision, conductor
Benner had gone into the forward sleeping
coach, and when the engine whistled
"down brakes," he ran out on the platform
and was in the act of setting the brake
when the collision occurred. Be was dis
covered afterwards with his body partially
forced through a window, both his legs
caught 'between the platforms, and ter
ribly crushed, and the whole body,
so tightly wedged in by the surrounding
timbers and iron rods as to consume nearly
an hour in extricating it from the net
work. As soon as he was taken out, he
- was conveyed to, a neighbor's house, and
medical aid summoned. Though terribly
mangled, it was thought at first sight that
he would survive the injuries, but all
hopes in this direction pr6ved delusive,
death ensuing on Saturday mornir.; at
eight o'clock, consciousness remaining
1 until the last. The deceased was one of the
oldest conductors on the road, was a resi
dent of Steubenville, and leaves a wife and
family. • ,
None of the passengers on the train were
injured,. although both passenger and sleep
ing coaches were well filled, all one of
them, more or less being damaged, with 1
the exception of that in the rear.
The engines were completely wrecked,
and jammed together in such a manner as
to be unoistinguishable. The freight train
which was filled with stock also suffered
considerably, three of the cars contain
ing hogs and cattle being demolished, and
between thirty and forty hogs and several
head of cattle killed.
The cause of the collision is not at pres
ent writing known, but an investigation of
the affair has been ordered.

THE COURTS.

Republican Meeting in nudity Township.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Republicans of North Fayette and Findley
townships was held at McHenry's mill, on
Wednesday evening, Sept. 30th. Not only
did the voters turn out in their might. but
the ladies were there in large numbers to
cheer and encourage with their smiles. We
noticed several Democrats amongst the
audience, who listened attentively to the
telling remarks of the speakers. 'lt is a
well known fact that there are many waver
ing Democrats in this neighborhood, and as
the speeches were bold, strong and convin
cing, it is thought the Democrats who were
present will come outa.nd join in the glori
ous fight for Gratt and Colfax.
The meeting was.addressed by Thomas
Ewing and Jacob H. Miller, Esc's., both of
whom made able and elegant speeches.
They spoke on the different issues of the
campaign and were often loudly applauded.
The chairman, Mr. Robert McLaren, at
the close thanked the audience for their
-good order and close attention,
after which
the meeting adjdurned with three thunder
ing cheers for Grant and Colfax.
The people of Fayette and Findley
townships are fully aroused, their enthusi
asm is unbounded, and they are working
with a determination to roll up a heavy
vote for Grant, Colfax and the entire Repub•
lican ticket.
In this connection it might be mentioned
that, there will be a grand mass Convention
at Clinton, on Thursday, Oct. Bth. Large
delegations will be present froin the sur
rounding townships and from Beaver and
Washington counties.
15 to 25 Per Cent.
The immense stock of hats, caps and
ladies furs, at the great first class establish
ment of William Flemieg, has been select
ed with the greatest care from the leading
manufacturer's of the country, and a great
portion of it made to order for the exclu
sive- trade of this popular and extensive
House. It is of the best material, made in
all the newest styles, and has been marked
down to but a slight advance on the manu
facturers cost. The business of this house
has, from long experienee, been so system
atized that all, purchasers save from fifteen
to twenty-five per cent. upon their bills.,
The attention of the ladies is directed par
ticularly to the extensive stock of plain and
fancy furs, consisting in part of Hudson
Bay Sable, Mink Sable, Siberian Squirrel,
German Fitch, French and German Sables,
all made In the latest styles of Bads, En
genies, Collars, Berthas, Guys excelsior
patent and ordinary mcffs. Those who
buy early, in addition to securing the very
best selection. will also buy at much less
prices than if they delay later,in the season.
Country merchants who ,consult their
own interests .will not fail to call at Flem
ing's and examine the tinely - assorted and
complete stock presented in the wholesale
departments. They not only secure splen
did variety and selection, but likewise ob
tain in purchasing by case or dozen as low
prices as prevail in New York and Phila
delphia. Let none ft,rget the place, William

Rupture of the Bowels.
There is no more serious disturbance to
human health, or danger to human life, than
that of hernia or rupture;' and we are con
tinually seeing in the newspapers reports
of cases which have terminated fatally, and
which neeit not be so if timely attention
were given to its earlier symptoms. There
need be no danger from rupture, or falling
of the bowels, if the first appearance were
given heed to. Every afflicted man knoWs
this as well as we do, and as guardians in a
measure of what usually contributes to the
general health or the welfare of the com
munity, we take pleasure in directing at
tention to an establishment where all such
ills are properly and scientifically ca -
for. We do this uch out of a consid
eration for the pubalis m c
good as we do for the
benefit of the gentleman to whom we refer,
-and we know full well that there are thous
ands of sufferers throtighout the country
who will kindly thank us for our informs ,
tion. The establishment of Dr. KEYSER,
t AT 140 WOOD STREET, AND THE CON
SULTATION ROOMS OF THAT GEN
TLEMAN AT 120 PENN STREET, are
provided with every appliance appropriate
for hernia, as well as for other ailments re
quiring mechanical remedies. The Doctor
has for many years past given almbst ex
clusive attention to the treatment of chronic
diseases of a n . obstinate character, and has
established for himself a fame and reputa
tion worthy of the great labor he has be.-
stowed upon the subject. At the time Dr.
Keyser established his office for the treat
ment of chronic diseases, there. seemed to
bo a great need for such an institution, and
his many published and still more unpub
lished cures, are abundant evidence of the
good he is doing in behalf of a class of suf
ferers, whose ailments they were taught to
believe were irremediable and without hope.
