FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Man Killed on th Handle • I - eaa
e Pan t • ' I
• —Another Seriously Injured--Gro •_. eg-
I
Ilgence on the Part of a Conductor -7
He Takes Ills Departure. • .
We are called upon to chronicle another
fatal accident on the Pau Handle Railroad,.
•i
which, like many that have preceded lt'
resulted from criminal Carelessness, or, to
i
say the least, gross negligence on the part
of one of the employes of the road. I 1 •
yesterday morning about ten o'clock the
regular freight train west left this city and
wasfollowed, in a few' minutes . afterwsid,
by in, extra freight train, and at three
o!clock the regular mail and passenger
train west departed on the Pan Handle
road. At Mansfield the first train stopped
at - the station , for the purpose of taking! in
1
water r and, in obedience to the rule of I the -
CoMpanyfiagthan was sent back to:.aig
nal the e xtrafreight train, which, - on I ob
serving the signal ,
, stopped about four
hundred ' yards back of the . first
\
train. The engine was cut loose
from the train and ran down to thenater
station, leaving _ the Raman anding . the '1
main track, and no was sent back
or signal of any kind giveritewarnithe en
gineer of the mail train, which was dile at
that point, of the obstruction. A short dis
tance from where the extra freight train
stopped, there is a short curve and ,the
ni ne train coming up at full ssp e d, the en
gineer being unaware of the danger which
awaited him a collision was inimitable.
As soon as the engineer on ' the mail train,
John Woodall, Saw the impending danger;.
he whistled "down brakes," reversed his
engine, and, seeing that a collision was un
avoidable, jumped from his engine, and
striking his head against a switc.fibox, his
neck a . and died almost in
stantly. T he fireman, aM r. Brown, who it
"appears remained, on the engine, was se
verely injured, but it is thought his in
juries will'not prove fatal. , I
The remains of Viroodall were brOught
to the 'Union Depot, in this city, and'Alder-
Irian Donaldson, in the absence of the
Coroner, empanelled a jury to. hold an in
queit. 'After viewing the body the inquest
adjourned until Saturday.
The 'Conductor of the extra freight,
whose inekousable carelessness caused the
accident,left . his train immediately after
the occurrence and has not sines - , been
heard of.
Most ofthe accidents which hive occur-
red on this road are like this one; clearly
attributable to the ar e a oil some iif
the employes. The rules and regulations 1
of the Conpany are as strict, and if pro Pe- I ,
ly adhered to, would be as safe. and as well
calculated to guard against accidents, as
on any other road. The large amount of bna
bless done, on this road, and the
nc want of
ave
a
double track, may, in some instaes, h
been the cause oraccident, but the acci
dent in question could in no way be at
tributed to such a cause, as is plainly evi
dent from the single fact that ths trains
were all moving in one direction.'
The matter, we learn, will be thoroughly
lnyestigated, and the gal party, if appra
handed, willorecelve his just deserts..

An Interesting Dispute.
The dist pute between the city ' authorities
of .Allegheny and tho Western ',l' l ennsylvae.
ida Railroad Company is beginning to&s
pume interesting characte.xistics. After a
respite of several days, hostilities were re
muted yesterday and, as if to make np fer
delay, are now being pushed quite ener
..
getically. The matter is in somewhat of
a muddle, but as near 'as we could ascer
tain the facts are as follows : •
lend in
,
The strip of land in dispute is about
seven feet in width'-by.three hundred feet
in length, extending from'Chestnut to Syc
amore street on the northern side of the
railroad track. . The railroad , oompany
sometime ago being desirousbf building a
side track on the ground, commenced
grading it off for that purpose. when they
were stopped by the city authorities. They
commenced again a few days since, and
on complaint being made at the Mayor's
office again, the Mayor directed his police
to arrest the men engaged in doing
the work. When brought to the Mayor's
office the men appeale beingurt and they
p r o actiordingly. Upon eleased they
proceeded bacleto the place and commenc
ed work again. • Again they were arrested
and taken to the DUyor's, and, again they
were released on bail only to enact the
same• performance ,over.: The Mayer al
lowed them to have a respite for one day,
and in the meantime consulted the City
Solicitor who instructed him to continue
to arrest all persons found laboring on the
ground without, orders. from the Street
Commissioner - of the city. Yesterday
morning when the men came be work they
were, accordingly arrested, and
and • went
through-the the
the process of giving bail re
turning to work, all the morning.
afternoon the tactics were changed some
what, by which the police were kept busy.
One man was set at work, and as soon,
as arrested another man would . take his
piaci°, and thus the policemen and arrested
laborers were kept patroling between the
disputed territory end the ' Mayor's office
until evening came on, and the work was
closed. Masons were at work during the
afternoon, under the supervision of Street
tonimiesioner Megraw. , building up the
wall whibh was torn down by
thu
the employes
of the Railroad 'Company, and' s the
matter rests at present; but the ntes he
t
will undoubtedly be renewed again co,
as t
men say they are instructed to go to work
again as usrd , totmoriow mornng. It is
difficult to
tel
hosrlong this state of affairs
will continue, as both seemed deter
mined to fight it out without either acting
on the offensive. • The claim on the part of
the railroad is that the \ground was orig
inally owned by the old Canal Company,
and that, of course, as the `purc h ased the
property of the Canal COmpany, this
small strip belongs to them. This
Claim, however, it appears, is rather
difficult' to make out, and they; , come
'quently,
the to go to Court with a
suit against city authorities for `tres
pass, as in that case they would be corn
pelled to prove their ownership of the
ground. Whereas, if they can provoke the`
city to sue them for tree ass,'
it will be
the duty of the city to'prove ownership.
Whichever party fails, in a plait to prove
ownership, loses the property, which re
vertoto the nea te rarty, though it may not
be to ,any grextent the legal owner.
This explains the unwillingness of either'
tile Railroad Company or the city to enter
suit first, which seems to lbe the proper
method of settlinglfie dispute.
On the part of the city, the claim is that,
although the looperty did not originally
belong ; to the municipality, yet as it has
4
been abandoned for nearly hirty years by
the original owners, durin which time it
his been Ivied as a public h ghway, that in
accordance with the, law it becomes the
property of the city. Thecity, in main.
taining this claim, Is backed by the owners
of 'the property which abuts on that portion
Of he street, -who assert Iheir ability to
Prove the claim good. It is said that they
are Interested in having the city's claim
sustained, as their properties ,extend over
deedsthee to seven' feet railr oad s thn their
call fir , and if the rai makes
good its elaifiti)they will be coured te
move their fences and Wails bac to the
line of the street:, ~. •
As I stands no the disuted ground
seems t
- to a belourn w,
eitnerjop the railroad
company:nor to the city, and the, questkni
of ownership is a nice one, Or the lawyers:

Coal Frauds.
i The fraud practiced by many of our ex•
tensive coal dealers was, it was thought, so
thoroughly exposed a `few months since by
the prosecution of several of the dealers as
to put an end to them, bur we regret to
say that such is not the'case. The grossest
frauds are still practiced by many of the
large dealers, and we presume will con
tinue to be perpetrated so tong as they are
\
permitted to weigh coal on their own scales
instead of upon the city scales, as they
should do. The most 'recent operation we
have heard of was attempted to be perpe
trated, and perhaps to a considerable ex
tent.was successful, upon Mr. Crossan, pro
' prietor of the Monongahela House. Mr. C.
had been purchasing his coal, of which he
uses a large quantity, from one of the prin
cipal coal-companies in this city, and
turned
think
ing his coal bill unusually large, he
his attentiou'to the matter, it
andshen the
next lead had been bought, beforny of
had been unloaded, he • asked to see the
ticket, which was shown him. The ticket
was fbr thirty-eight bushels of coal, which
in his estimation was a much larger amount
than-there was in the wagon. To satisfy
himself in regard to the matter, he bad the
coal taken to the Second ward scales and
weighed, which proved he was correct,. as.
there was but thirty-one bushels inst ea d of
thirty-eight, a deficiency of twenty-three
and one-third per cent. This would in
crease the price of coal;.which is novr
i eleVs
tooeu
cents, to over thirteen cents, which
heavy a tax for the citizens to bear. We
hope Councils will take the matter in hand,
and give the citizens protection against
such gross imposition. ~

Second Ward Pioneer Grant Glob—
•
al Election or Ofitcers.,
The Second ward, PittsbUrgh, we believe
hao the credit of organizing the w
est Grant
Club in the United States, being in field
for the great Captain so early as SepteMber,
1E67. During the canvass it (was iniong
the most effective of:working organizations
and contributed no little towards. Wrens
,
ruff the majority in Allegheny enunty. At
the annual meeting held last AveMzig, •thei
style 'of the Club was chi Vim'

lican, Club,. and the ,faftowing gentlemen,
were unanirnotisly elected to serve as °M

ward House amt John Wilson. The Exec
ntive Committee, with Capt. W. B. Cook, as
Chairman, will hereafter be announced.
The Club has several , hundred names of
active working Republicans on its roll of
members. It owns a magnificent tress
six pound piece of artillery, has a full gun
squad, and equipments for two hundred
persons _on parade occasions. We hope
other Grant Clubs will -follow the Second
ward and maintain their organization 80
that they will be fully prepared for the
work to be done in future campaigns.
Allegheny Fire Alarm. - , ,
At the last meeting of the . Allegheny
Councils a resolution was adopted instruct
ing the Committee un Fire Engines -; and
Hose to select a Superintendent of the Fire
Alarm, Telegraph line, at a salary of MO.
In accordance with their instructions the
-Committee, at a meeting held an Tuesday
evening, unanimously selected Mr. L. D.
McCandless to fill the position for one year,
fro - m the present time. Mr: McCandless
has been in charge of the line for some time
past but resigned - his position a few weeks,
ago, on account of the small salary then
paid, $3OO, which would 'not justify him
in devoting his whole time and attention to
keeping the line in:proPer order. The city
I was at considerable expense in erecting
the line, but for some months past it has
I not given than perfect satisfaction which
was expected of t. It requires the closest
attention to render it effective'and 'now
that the salary pas: been raised to a remu
nerative standatd, the Superintendent will
devote undivided -attention to it, and ' it is
etpected that no more complaints will be
`made against it in future..

Alle,gbeny Council Apportionments.
In our article on the new apPortioument of
members of the Allegheny Councils, one or
two errors • occurred. The' Commission
of Apportionments consists of the Mayor of
the City arid the Presidents of the two
branches of Ceuncil& and the second section
of the act creating the commission, pro.
vides that: "Each wex.l shall have one rep
resentative in Common C,ounall, for every
five hundred and seventy-five taxable&
to serve for one year, provided that each
Ward shall have at least two members of
the Common Councii, and,' provided fur
ther, that if the excess in any ward, shall
be two-thirds of the said number, (five
hundred and seventy-five,) it shell. be en
titled to one member for such excess."
Under theis provisions the table given by
us yesterday, would stand corrected as fol..

These figures, as we !stated yesterday,

portionment. By reference to the table, it
will be seen that an addition' of eleven tax
shies to the Second ward list would entitle
it to one more representative under the
two-thiyds rule. The whole matter, how
ever, is at presint somewhat of specula
tion and the facts in the case cannot be

under the direction Hof the Committee on
Trees, consisting of ayor Drum, A. M.
Marshall, Esq., andl City Engineer Davis.
l'lxf n will be planted principally along

Thanksgiving Dinner.
Every family, we suppose, will observe
this day by ;making some special provi
sion for Thlinksgiving dinner, and those,
who are .surrounded with friends will
doubtless eljoy the day to the fullest ex
tentent. There, will be many, .however,
who will be deprived of the pleasure of join
big with their friends,me place where a
but who will be de
so
sirous of finding
good dinner may be obtained, and where
at least most of the home comforts may - 1)e
enoyed. To all such we can cenimendlSir..
Hojltzheimer, of the Continental, Fifth
avenue. He is always genial and courteous,
his attendants prompt and attentive, and
his tables supplied with the best the market
affords. He has made extensive prepara
tions for Thanksgiving Day, and those who
want a first-class meal should give him a
call. Among other things he has received
ten barrels of extra large shell oysters, the
finest which can be procured; ten dozen of
quails; ten pairs of pheasants,. and several
saddles of the finest venison. Every del
icacy in season and out of season will be
served up in the,best of style. •
