with , 'disorderly: conduct. The ao
cusednraided in a court off Ann street, in

was conducting herself in a very disorderly
manner, to the! great annoyance of her
neighbor% A warrant was issued for her
arrest and placed p 3 the h an ds o
officer

:Messner for execution. - John at nce re
'paired tothe reaidence, of the accused, to
make the arrest, which he expected to do
without any trouble whatever, hint before
he had accomplished his 'task, to use his
own expression, he "wishe .crsome l inunner'
man had die warrant." When he arrived
at the house! : he' found the, door barred .
and the occupants refused to let him in.
He then went to a window and was, id, the,
act of entering the house through it, hay.
ing,the lower sash raised and having his
heted and shoulders and one leg inaide,
while the remainder Was on the ohtside,.
when Mary, who up to this period had beeN
concealed in a cupboard on the sideof the
roottinpposits the window, cluteliuthf her
concealment and "went forhim,"lafter the
manner of wildcats, scratching hliniabout
the face, pulling his hair, and biting him
on the arms severely, while be was so
situated that he could not get away from
her and had the use of but one hand to de
fend himself- against' her ferocious : attack,
the other being engagedin holding up the
window sash. After considerable trouble
he succeeded in getting through the win
dow and secured the woman, .but not until
he had received several severe 'scratches
about the face and lost , a consideiable por
tion of his hair. He conducted her to the
Mayor's office, but not alone, as she wastbe
mother ot a child about three Month's old,
which she insisted upon taking with
her. After a hearing, the Mayor imposed a
fine, of five dollars and costs upon , her,
which she refused to pay, whereupon a
commitment was made out- and given to
She officer, who - very reluctantly, undertook
the task of taking his prisoner to Jail, not
from any sympathy he had for the woman,
but he had not forgotten- his experience
while under the window. John'is not the
man to shirk his duty, however, and made
an effort to conduct his prisoner to the
but "it could not be did." When he took
hold of her with his hands, she took hold
of his arm with her teeth, and suocededed
in biting a piece out of it. A ;compromise
'was effected at length; by which, she - was
induced to _go into a 'cell in the lock-hp
, Until her mother could be sent) for. The ,
mother at length came, and not having the
money to pay the fine and, costs:'started
out to get it, but had not returned at last
accounts. 'I
Somilambulistle.
A lady, whom, we Will call Mrs. Eliza
Jones,! residing on Beaver avenue, Sixth
Ward, Allegheny, was awakeried out of
her sleep, yesterday morning about four
o'clock, by the appearance in! her bed
chamber of a white apparation which stalk
ingthrough the door and approacheigthe bed
side.BStartled half out of her senses the lady
leaped from the couch, • and seizing .the
sleeping form of her little daughter, made
a rush to get out of the apartment. In her
fight her foot tripped on the hearth rug
!And she Was thrown heavily_ to !the floor,
her head striking the fire iron stand, which
inflicted a severe though not a dangerous
gash. The little girl in her arms was also
w.ounded on the right cheek. ,
The thumping racket of falling human ity
and fire., irons added' to!the ;screams , of,
the aforesaid humanity' Web snfficent to
bring the inmates of the ' house quickly to
the scene, when the cause of the uproar
was discovered. It seems that a sister of
Mrs. Jones, who resides in Tamaqua, Illi
nois, was on a visit to her sister, !and being
a somnambulist, was making one of her
usual nocturnal rounds, when ehe appear
ed, as stated, in the:bedchamber lof her sis
ter. Upon being awakened;, the sleep
walker was as much surprised as any one,
and quite as much startled in discovering
,where she was. The excitement' calmed
down finally, and quiet once more reigned
in Warsaw.
Shocking Accident—Two Men Instantly
Killed.
Yesterday.morning between seven and
eight o'clock a shocking accident occurred
•
at Johnstown, on the PennsylVania Rail
road, by which two men were hurried into
eternity without a moment's warning. It
seemed that - the men, whose names were
respectively Joseph Noble and David Bee,
were employed in the ore bank of, the
Cambria Iron Works. At the time in linea
tion they had arranged the fuse for a blast,
and were about leaving the place,. after
setting fire to the fuse, when the ;blast pre
maturely` exploded, killing both men in
stantly. Mr. Bee Wasstrack bY fragnient
of the ore, - which nearly severed his :head
from the body.., Dir. Noble was'also struck
by a fragment and hie head crushed in.
.Both the bodies were mangled and lacer
ated in a terrible manner. The deceased
'were brothers-in-law, both married men,
and leave families to mourn their awfu l
death. The intelligence was first, conveyed
to this city by a telegraphic dispatch to a
relative of the deceased, who started for
the place on the first train tireretifter,

pacity hi 'the establishment of Mr. Trauer
man. The houses are located next &wt. to
each other on Sixth street. Yesterday tbe
two gentlemen, salesmen, varied the m&',
notony of their occupations byj indulging
in a little exhilarating excitement, which
resulted in their; simultaneolis appearance
before Aldermatt.Hurnbert each charging
the other with assault and battery. - Jacob
alleges' that Samuel struck him in, the
mouth with his list, while Samuel stoutly
i
mantained that he was similarly abused
by Jacob. They finally concluded to takd
the matter to court, and each gave 'bail ae
tordlngly forlds appearaece at the proper
time. ' 1

From tho'Seit of War.
From a reliable gentleman just arrived
. ,
from the seat of war in Allegheny, we . learn
that the hog war is being carried on with
great vigor on both aid es. At latest accounts,
however, the hogs seemed to be losing
ground rapidly. In !Pend pitched bat
ties, though gallantly contending, they had
been defeated and suffered great loss, many
of their 'most prominent generals having
been captured. A few hours before our in
formant left, fifteen, some of whom were
numbered among their bravest leaders,
were captured and taken to City Farm,
which has been specially set apart as a
place of confinement for them. In some
places the hogs, driven to their last extrem
ity, have ,entrenched themselves behind
heavy barricades and - in forts, which they
deem impregnable, but, their opponents,
flushed with victory, pro Pose to move im
mediately on these works, and talk
quite boastfully of their expected tri
umph. Should they prove as successful
as they expect, there will be no other alter
native left for the hogs but the uncondi,
toad etrrrender which Is now demanded
of them, or extermination. They seem,
however, determined to fight to thei last in
this maintenance of their rights, preferring
death to the loss of their liberties. One
foreign power, the Park Commission, has
recognized them as belligerents, but this is
'rather to their damage, as this power is
allied by a treaty Offensive and defensive
with their opponents. The exceeding bit
terness of the strife ia made manifest from
the fact that their opPonentsy,departing from
all rules of civilized warfare, unblushingly
offer a reward of one hundred cents for
every hog prisoner brought within their
lines.
,
Taken altogether, the si t uation of affairs
is greatly against the hogs, and it looks as
if they would be conquered; but, perhaps,
a change favorable to them may yet take
place. The darkest hour always precedes
the dkwii. •
The Cattiedial Spfret
The 'spire at the Cathedral has at length
been so far completed as to admit of the
iron cross upon its pinnacle, and that was
placed in position yesterday under the
superintendence of Mr.. Bartberger, the
.
architect„ Who after the ponderous affair
bad been raised to the top of the spire it is
hereafter to
its
and had been firmly
secured ,to its place and the lightning rod
attached, ascended to the top of the cross
and secured the ,point to the rod, which ex
tends several feet above the cross.
The cross wasl'Manufattnred by Messrs.
Marshall, of ,D.Zmond alley, and weighs
eight hundreff ands. It is constructed
of cast iron and fourteen feet in beighth;
i t
and the cross •• bar is six feet nine inches. '
The necessary.. arrangements have been
made for lighting it with gas, and the pipes
are already on the grnund and will be at
tached 'as soon as the machinery can be ar
ranged i'or , t that . purikase.• There will be
about two hundred and seventy-five gas
jets, and the bu'rners will be made of
bronze, in order to stand the weather. Mr.
Bartberger' informs us • that the arrange
ments for lighting..lt will be completed
within the next two weeks.
The exact 2 heighth of the spire is not
known.n as there bade been Several changes
made in the original plan since the work
commenced} but as it is necessary to know
the exact helghtb, and dimensions in order
to have the Other spire, which will be erect
ed during the coming summer, correspond
with it, Mr;.Bartberger will take the dimon
sions of it before the scaffolding is removed.
The supposed heighth from the ground to
the, tap of the .cross is two, hundred and
tfty.seven feet. • •

admirably rendered. The cast was a most
,
admirable one throughont, in ev eryr in

cast in that particular role for - which - they
were best suited. The frequent . bursts of

to the"excellent ' stock company which

announced.: The succeas of the varieties
is mainly due to the, energy of the manager,

FRANKLIN HA . LL.—The success of the
Museum at Franklin Hall is far greater
than ever the rManager expected, and it
may now be considered one of the fixtures
of the city. Major Burnell, the gentle.
manly proprietor of the establishment, is
continually adding new , attractions to his
already fine collection of curiosities, both
natural and ailifichfi, and if the collection
continues to increase so rapidly he will in
a short time be compelled to find a more
commodious hall. The Museum is open
day and evening, and Is constantly throng
ed with ladies and children.
15 to 25 Per Cent.—Ladles,'Fors.
, The saving of twenty per cent—the aver
agev of the' aboveort an article valued at
one hundred dollars is twenty dollars, no
• -
inconsiderable item to the economical par
,
chaser. And it is this fact, together with
an immense stock of fine furs of all grades
in quality and of all styles,•which, has cre
ated such a sensation this _season, and
madithe representative and popular house
of William Fleming, '139 Wood street, such
a centre of attraction to purchasers. At
no other housa are such inducements of
fered, and we have yet to hear one of the
vast throng of . people who have visited
Fleming's emporium during the- season
differ with the universal opinion that no
where else Can such splendid furs
,be ob
tained at such great bargains. The people
appreciate that system of trade which ena
bles a merchant, by large sales, to sell at
small profits, as is evidenced by the
gieat business now being done by Mr.
Fleming. The establishment credits its
success alio to the contidence with which
it has inspired the public by the invariable
rule of permitting no salesman to make
any misrepresentation to purchasers as to
quality or grade of goods to secure a sale,
so that, necessarily, goods sold are war
ranted to prove in wear even more than set
forth when purchased. We urgently insist
on our customers calling early, at this fa
vorito house to make their purchases, as,
from present appearances, prices mast ad
vance IDefore the cloie of the season, or as
soon as the first supply is exhausted, and
they certainly cannot :be soldllower than
now offered at Fleming's. 1 '
• • A DeservZg Award.
On Wednesday last, after a successful ex
position, the Mechanies' Instittite of Mary
land closed its fair, at Baltimore. The
awards of the various Committees havejust
been published in the 'Baltimore Gazelle.
The extensive and famed piano manufac
tory of Messrs. William linabe Co., rep
resented in this city by Mrs. Charlotte
Blume, Fifth avenue, comes in for the , fol
lowing, neat but deserved compliment, at
the hands, of 'the Committee on Pianos.
The Gazette says
'"Among the chief premiums, the certifi
cate of the gold medal Was awarded to
Messrs. William Knabe & Co. for the best
Manes. The rule. of the Institute is that
the same manufacturer cannot more than
ones receive the gold medal, but so long as
it Maintains its superiority, the certificate
of ;the gold medal is awarded. Messrs.
Knabe 4 Co.'s Pianos were adjudged the
best, and the, certificate was accordingly
awarded to them, and there is no doubt the
committee had a proper appreciation of the
excellence of the instruments."
Mrs. Blume, whose music store andpiano
warerooms are appoints the old Theatre, on
Fifth avenue, has a lull stock of Knabe in
struments of various grades and qualities,
to which we would direct the attention of
our readers. -It requires ..no special gift of
judgment to discover the many excellent
qualities andsuperiorities of these Pianos.
