after which the annual reporteef the ... Secr
etary, Miss' Mattie J.-Fowler, was read by
Air:Brunet. From the report, which was a
carefully prepared and interesting docu
ment, We learn that the Association was or
ganized immediately after the first anni
versary of the- Young Men's Christian As
sociation ono sear ago. The first meeting
was held at the rooms of the Young Men's
Christian '.iCt4:Sociation, at which 51,640 was
subscribed for carrying out tbenbjects of
the orgauizetion. At the second meeting,
helffa Week later, two hundred ladies were
present,' and manifested their willingness
to enkage in thy work. The city was suh
seep eently districted, and bne hundred and
six iadlies a noliteci, two for each district,
e t
to canvass Townie and distribute tracts
and pipe s, .and read the Scriptures to
those whom tliey found willing to listen:
' For five mouths the Committees worked
faithfully, but subsequent to that time the
work--had been languishing' on account of
the want of laborers. Ninety-two reports -
°film work done show that three thousand
three hundred and thirty-eight visits have
been made, —three thousand and cine
tracts, one thousand one hundred :nd
1 .
eighty-eight papers and a munber of sit all
works have been dietributed. Of the flint
flies visited most of them did not' attend
relighius worship anywhere„ none ,of the
children were attendants 'of a S.:bletth
School, and t:venty-seven familieei were
found destitute of a Bible. One - man Was
fe ll ed, who, thongh living in close proxim
ity to three churches, had not been inside
of Ono for seventeen years. !Three or foni•
prayereneetineS have eleeen held, anti
through their influence some have laeni •
converted fann the- error of their wove.
A Committee visited the jail twice a week,„
and sonic repentant ones from this institu
elon have been furnished with hemes, and
give promise of leading a better life
henceforth. The Committee appointed to
visit the' Penitentiary are encouraged ,to,
believe that their efforts have been produc
tive of good to many of the innedes of that
institution. One wanderer was brought
back and in leer lato illness giveeprooe'of
that inward change which 'three her for
death. The efforts of the Aseociation in
this respectiMpressed its memberg' with
the importance of having a temporary
Home for destitute women, and after mature
deliberation the house No. -15 Chatain street
was obtained for this Purpose.T,lte house
was made ready for occupancy by the first
week. in April and has been in use sinceV
the tithe. In contains ten rooms and , will
accommodate thirty occupants. Three
thousand dollars have been_ already peid:t
on the house, leaving two thousand dollars
still .due. Up to the present time there have
been sixty-six adttltS and seventeen child

occunante are variously employed, •and
every thing done to make it home-like and
cheerful.' Religious services are held every

Geo. E. addle and Russell Erreti -a clar
4er was o stained on the tenth of April le6S,
and thus he association was placed on a
merman° t basis.. While the association
was thus aboring It became evident that a
permanent refuge for this class of persons
was needed and they - have been making
efforts to have one established. -
• Mr. JaS. Kelly, of Wilkiesburg, has do
nated five acres of land for that. purpose.
-TwO gentlemen have pledged one thousand
,dollars each toward the erection of thiS in
.stitution which' added to the atnonnf al
ready Sahscribed, amounts to, four thens
and two hundred dollars. ' .
Mr. Kelly has also offered a site of tire
acres forti "Home for Aged Women." if it '
can ,be built- The Association desires to •
start a boarding house for working - Women,
similar tolehe one in NeW /York city which
gives a home to four flunked women,.-with
all the necessary coinforts'and convenien
ces:of life. As yet, hoWeyer, the means for
this arena at bend, and until the hearts of
the benevolent are opened, it must remain
unrealiZed. Nothing IS . now being done
for the news boys, either temporarily or
spiritually, and es winter approachUs, they
too, will need attention. .
The repart closed with a fervent exhor
tation to all christian women to come up
and lend of their meanie and influence to
help eth , the work of the Association.
TM* report of the Treasurer, Miss Annie
C. Fekvier, was also read by, Mr. Binmot,
from which it appears that the .money re
ceived from all sources during the year,
exclusive of that subscribed to the
"Homo," amounted to 51804,02, and the

MORNING SESSIO3.%
•After the opening services, conducted by
Rev. A. T. Geisenhaimer, the report of the
Committee on Minutes of other Synods tratfl
heard.
Their report was accepted, and it was re
solved that a , •
"At'IXED COMIC/ON"
. .
Should be considered.
Rev. 131 M. Sehumelner remarked on the
topic under discussion, Unit no practice of.
indiscriminate communion existed among]
our synods. They had condpmnedthe ask-'
ing to the Lord's Supper qt any who in
any shape or form had professed or con
fessed Christ. Every wildness of belief
with respect to Christ and Itis teachings is
not a reason for fellowship 4t 'the Lard's
Table. I . .
In this all agree; and Indiscriminate
Communion is rejected.
A number of other speakers gave ex
pression to. their Sentiments! and the Con
vention adjourned. , %
I'TERNOON SESSOIsi
The Council assembled anti opened with
religious services. -
Itwas now agreed ~''that ‘‘,( , ntt;rehanje -of
Pulpits should be discussed. I •
Rev. S. L..ilarpey had sfonie !difficulties
which he could not harmonizeth the po
sitions advocated. It seems as l 'tong . for
a Lutheran pastor to occupy thel Pulpit of
others, as for them to occupy Lutheran pu/-
p'ts. This cannot harmonize with the word
o Jesus, "Go preach the Gospel to all na
ti ns." Cau it be wrong to Preach in a
J WlSSyagoguo or a Roman Cathedral?
,Chri t's example condemps such a posi
tion.. le went everywhere and preached
to all is pure truths.
Rev. W. A. PassaVant regrettiki that the
remarks of brother Fritschel! were not
more generally understood. 110 was of the
opinion that 4, man who had bben trained
in another ch,urch could not pieach front
another put ptt without carrying With him
so much of his peculiar confession as would
•give color to his statements of Truth. -
If this were so, the position were one
that could not be controverted. But is
this so? Can we not; do others not lay
asidelheir denominational characteristics?
Lutheran pastors are'peivileged to preach
the Gospel everywhere. It may bo in a'
MorMon or a Dualist Temple, ho is not
restricted. His commission is to bear the
tenth of the Gospel to all men.

Cynthia Albin was before_ , Mayor Drum,
yesterday, charged With keeping - a disor

o'clock of the evening prey t)us, Mrs.
Albin came to tile Mayor's office Paid stated
that two men had forced an entrance into
henhouse and "were conducting themselves
iu S very dithrderly nanner. The police
repaired to the place, on the, north-east
corner of the Diamond Allegheny, but as
the officers entered the front door'tliealleg
ed marauders backed out the back door and.
escaped. A further investigation: Of the
premises aroused the suspicions of the of

tress and three males, with a like number
of females. At the hearing in the Morning
the males paid each a fine of ten dollars,
the females were released on promising to
leave the city immediately, and the pro
prioress was held for trial in iffe :Om of

Aurust Traverse; of Mount Washington,
attended a young lady to a ball in that
place a few evenings since., During the even
ing the young lady was invited to dance by
Fleniy Flack - her, but some reason she
declined. Flackner felt aggrieved at the
rebuff, and after consultation with his friend
Chris Wilbert, he concluded to wreak his
Vengeance on her innocent escort, believ
ing him-to have influenced the lady in hor
decision. Meeting Traverse, who was
.traversing his way homeward after the
ball. Flackner carried his plans into exe
cution and ably assisted by his aforesaid
friend, administered a severe castigation
to the luckless Wight. This is the story
which Traverse related to Alderman Mc-
Masters yesterday and which caused that
official to arrest Flackner ani Wilbert and
hold them to bail for trial on a charge of
aggrevated assault and battery.
Railroad Accident.
Yesterday evening an accident occurred
on—the_Tanhandie railroad near Mans
fied, by, which a brakeman on a stone train,
whose name we were unable to. learn, was
instantly killed. The train *as coming
oast, when at the point named the - first car,
from some cause broke down, and the cars
following ran against it, causing a general
wreck of the train. The brakeman was
canght between two of the cars and crushed
to death. Coroner Clawson was notified
and proceeded to Mansfield last evening to
hold an inquest.
—Since writing the above the Coroner
has returned, and from him we learn, that
the brakeman killed was David B. Jones, a
resident of Donniston, Ohio. He was twen
ty-two years old. The jury returned a ver
dict of accidental death.
Passing Counterfeit Money.
J. V. McCausland was arrested on Wed
nesday evening and taken before Alderman
Johns, charged with passing. or attempting
to pass counterfeit money. it i r e_ alleged
that he attempted to pass a ten dollar U. S.
note at a store on Liberty street, and that
after being told it. as a counterfeit tie at
tempted to pass the same bill a second time.
The accused alleges that he did not know
the money was counterfeit, -He says ho
canie,l to the, city on Wednesday morning
and sold a orse, and received .the money
alleged to ho
. Co'unterfoic in part payment
for the ,same. He was committed to Jail
for a hearing. , ,
Highway Robbery.
In the neighbprhood of the Elevator,
which some time since was almost nightly
t\ho scene of some lawless depredation, Mr.
14. C. Durbin, of Baldwin township, was at
icked by two men, knocked down and his
pockets rifled of a watch worth $75, a re
volVer valued at $25, and fifteen dollars in
i n
mo ey. Early Thursday evening Mr. Dur
bir came to the St. Nicholas Hotel, and
aft r registering his name and receiving a
room for the night; went out, but did not
return. About two o'clock yesterday morn
ing a policeman found him lying onWash
ington street near the Elevator, partially
insensible. He was emoved to the watch

A New Era ' la' "the Ristory :of American'
lass Staining. .• . •
A popular American writer in a series of
articles, relating almost wholly to domeS-'
tic affiiirs; dwells at length' upon the tran=•.
, .
(patty, comfeirt, power and refinement of
such a commn affair as a house. We
41
have been led o think that the author in .
question might have parstied the topic
•
still further, and contrasted uninviting,
cheerless, ill-cO tructed, and ill-arranged
habitationB, - with tasteful, roomy, !bright,
thoroughly ven dated, heartsome homes.
We • think it w uld not bb difficult to
1 1 3
demonstrate th a handsome modern
dwelling, with ill the modem improve
ments, unpretei tious, yet providing per-'
raiment co - info .1, is as much . su
perior to a hog -e built hap-hazard, with
narrow hails ar stairways, dark landings'
and gloomy es' erior, as the latter is to the
"lodge" of an ndiau, or a cave. A house
should do son tithing more' than merely
shield us front ,unshine or frost. 7ft should
contribute to social beauty as well as per
sonal comfort.
_The exterior arehitectural
beauty should {he secondary to tl* interior
appointments: We know Mrs. Petroleum
or Mr. ShoddlWould pronounce in favor
of the i magni icent exterior, but we are)
thinking now of manners and those in
ventions which contribute so much in an
indirect Way, to awaken the finer faculties.
The noticeable improvements in the ap
pointments of our public as well as private
boildings show clearly that the majority of
the community are of the same way of
thinking. This is specially true of Church
buildings, while he--must.bo blind indeed
who fails to observe the remarkable ini
provementsin our school buildings. In the
former the United M ates bidsfair to rival the
architectural beauty of the old World. EV
erything in the way of a decorative, firm,
requiring • invention, genius, skill, time
and patience. not to mention laborious
study, can —/ups been accomplished by
American artizans. In all our large cities,
instead of the unbroken white glare which
was formerly tile rule in our churches, the
'light is softened Or subdued. In the West,
where, . forty years e.g.°, the trapper and
hunter plied their avocations, greatars:
have sprung up which vie with the East in
decorating their public nod private build
ings. It is this fact that, warrants the belief
that with a I itti? more time and experience'
'.the American artizan will soon take tin the
gap between himself and the European ar
tizan, despite the experience possessed by
the latter, an experience embracing the
History of many centuries. In the matter
of church ornamentation, thanks to the
spirit of progress which pervades the coun
try, we haveanado enormonsstrides within
dle:last twenty-tiro years. The taste ais
played in Staining . and enameling .
church glass - is in itself remarks
ble. We no longer depend upon
the foreign nialitifarturer fur Osigrai, ur a
durable article. This fact eras never ren-
dered plainer to us than upon a eriflcal .ex
=Matto!' of the stained, etalmeled and
ground glass manufactured [by Messrs.
Page, Zellers d Dui f, the wellnewp .glass
l i
manufacturers of tins city. n 0 success of
this Grin, which recently cola ined glass
staining and enameling with gl4ss; making,
is something to be proud of. I Possessing
extraordinary facilities for therapid [exe
cution of an almost unlimited amount of
work, they still devote their e - elusive at
tention to the object of producing a superi

much of our ugliness; and as a general

the fact. Like all other branches of trade
there are dose who hold high position in

in the public estimation, than John T.
Gray, No. 5l Ninth s*et, (formerly Hand

-great care, industry, tact and epterprise,,
Gray has succeeded in drawing to
I' himselli a large share of trade to which he is
eminently worthy. Employing only first
class and skilled mechanics over whom he
exercises constant superVisien, using noth
ing but' the primest qualities of materials,
and being extremely careful. that no piece
of work is -performed that bears his Im
press, unless it will sustain the high repu
tation lie has acqUired, the success • and
large share of patronage enjoyed by him is
easily to be accounted for. Mr. Gray re
-ceives, and executes at shortest notice, and
in best of style all orders for signs, window
pane lettering, house painting. varnishing;
graining, and inside office painting. His
prices aro as low as the lowest. -We cheer
