street, near the corner of Ohio, smashed
one of the windows with his fist. The con
ductor called a. policeman who happened
to be in the vicinity, and John was , about
being. arrested, when he sobered up and •
paid for the damage done. The policeman
was leaving when he was assailed bya tor
rent of oaths, and denunciations by John,
which caused him to return and attempt to
arrest the offender. in the scuffle which
ensued, John smashed half a dozen

Fatal Accident.
A dispatch from Sarrisbnrg, dated Fri

this morning, by which an eatimable

Kleptomania. ..
Another evidence of the existence in our
midst of persons afflicted with this disease,
,or,passion for crime, whichever it may be
called, developed itself on Friday after
,-
noon last. A respectably dressed and
preposserising young woman entered the
store of Market street dry goods mer
chant, and asked to be shown some hand
kerchiefs, laces and other articles of a slat
liar character. While she was engaged in
examining those which were laid on the
counter, the watchful salesman noticed her
secreting a portion in the muff which she
carried. When she had concluded her
purchases, and be was about returning the
ssil6 to the cashier, he quietly picked - up
the muff and carried it along. An exam
ation of it at the desk revealed the fact
that goods to the amount of twenty-six
dollars had been stolen. The amount:was
.added to the bill for berpurchases. and
• presented for payment. She paid the
-whole bill, and was then, through the in
tercession of a /frlend, allowed to depart.
It seems that she had been a frequent visi
tor at the store, and aroused suspicions of
her honesty several times, managing, h Sh ow-
eyer. previously, to escape detection. e
at last met with one- salesman who was too
• Agri) to be victimized.

The Allegheny Sewerage question—Ad
journed Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of property-hold-
ere in the rural district of Allegheny City,
was held Saturday evening, January ninth,
in Ridgewood School House, to heax the
report of the Committee appointed at a pre
vious meeting to confer with the sewerage
commission of the City Councils in relation
to ',the sewerage asses sments. Mr. Win.
Marshall presided, ' and Mr. Thos. W.
Pratt officiated as Secretary.
The Committee reported that they had,
according to instructions, conferred with
the Commission,
the members of which
had expressed themselves very freely in
regard to the injustice of the law, and as
an evidence of their willingness to aid in
getting it changed so as to make the bur
den fall more equally upon all, had as
sured thememmihat the collection of
the, tax' uld beefr the present, sus
pended, in order that time might be given
to mature some-plan for relief.
The report further ,stated that the Com-,
mittee had heard but one expression from
all the members ,of Council with whom
they had 'conferred, and that was in con
demnation of the assessments as unequal
and unjust.
The report was received and the Com
mittee continued. '
On motion, a committee of six was ap
pointed to obtain the signatures of proper
ty holders to a petition, to be presented to
Councils, setting forth the willingness of
the signers to pay , a just share of all taxes
in proportion to the valuation of property,,
but praying' or a relief from the onerous
and unequal tax which had been assessed ,
for sewerage purposes.
Messrs. William Marshall, Jas. Fielding,
T.' W. Pratt, Robert Sloan, Jas. Steadeford
and 'Robert Murphy was appointed said
.committi e.
It was remarked property holder in
the meeting that a clo se calculation -of the
value of property in the rural districts and
some valuable city property, had developed
the fact that the rural districts were taxed
in proportion to value, four hundred times
greater than the city.
Some time was spent in remarks on the
subject by persons interested, after which
the meeting adjourned to convene again at
the call of. the Chairman.
A-Common Scold.
Michael Sweeny, a taverni.keeper =Gib
bon street, in the Sixth ward, made informa
tion before the Mayor a few days since
against Mrs. Elizabeth'Carrel, allegingthat
she was a "common scold." This is a term
applied by the common law to women,
who from a propensity and disposition to
quarrel with and scold their neighbors and
families become a nuisance in the neigh
borhood in which they resided, and was
punishable - fine and imprisonment.
The offence has never been embodied in
our criminal code on account of the gal
andt perhaps, of those who-revised it,
out of the respect they bad for Ameri
can women, yet, notwithstanding its omis
sion from the "catalogue of offences ;'m the
courts have decided it to be ,an indictable
offence in this State, as will be seen by ref
fbrence to the case of the . Commonwealth
vs. Mole, reported in Second mi ht.estimo
in this case it appears from S
the t
ny that there is some grounds for complaint
on the part of the prosecutor, and if the
conduct of the defendant at the' Mayor's
office is any evidences the charge is well
founded. She was held to bail for her ap
pearance at newt.

idrM " John
a farmer, residing at
to,wship, in this
d.i ounty, came. to the e
city on n Friday of last
rooee, Moritz
week with a two-horse wagon and stopping
at Ferguson's Hotel, corner of Fourth ave
nue and Ferry street, had his horses put in
the' stable and between three and four
o'clock left the hotel, stating he had some
business to transact in the city and would
return in time for supper. He did not re
turn at the time stated, however, but his
absence created no surprise, as it
thought he had been detained by busi
nss, but on the next morning, be
having not yet returned, Mr. Fur
guson became uneasy and instituted search
for him, which proved fruitless. As it was
his intention when leaving home to return
'on Saturday morning, and falling to do so,
-his friendsbecame alarmed and yesterday
morning came to the city in search of him,
but as yet have found no trace of hina what
ever after he left the hotel on Friday after
noon. It appears trom the statement of his
friendi that he bad in his possession, when
he left home, between three and four hun
dred dollars in money. He is said to be a
I
sober, industrious man, and his mysterious
disappearance, connection with the fact
of having a con iderable Sum of money in
his possession, ads WS friends to suppose
i
that he has bee foully dealt with.
The affair is rtainlya very Mysterious
one, and shoo be ! thoroughly investiga
ted. Several ' cases Of a similar nature hav
ing occurred dn the eity ,within the 'past
year, and no explanation of the , mys
tery in either of r them having been arrived
at, the alarm and uneasiness , of the friends
of the missing man are very naturally in
creased, and the authorities, for.the same
,reasons, should leave nothing' undone to
solve the mystery.
The circumstances of the case have been
fully detailed to the police, and they should
be instructed to "work up the case" thor
oughly. I
If the man has been AVspirited" away or
foully dealt with in any manner, the fact
can and should be ascertained. He having
left the hotel in daylight with the intention
of returning before dark, would lead to the
conclusion, that if there was foul play it bad
taken place in daylight, and we certainly
have detectives on the force who, with such
information as can be obtained from Mr.
Morits's friends, trace the man to where
the foul play occurred.
Apprehentions Realized.
It will be remembered by our readers
that a short.time ago a delegation of resi
dents,
from Spring Garden Run called
upon Mayor Drum and entered complaint
against the proprietors of a hair dying es
tablishment in that locality for maintain
ing-a nuisance. They alleged that aside
from the exceedingly disagreeable odors
emanating from the place
take fire, they..were in
great fear that it would in conse
cluence of the manner in which the heating
apparatus in the interior was arranged,
and the combustible nature of the
material with " which the building was
: filled. It seems that the comlainants had
:good reasons for their a p p rehensions,
which were realized on Friday evening
last. About eight o'clock the building was
discovered to be on fire, and before the
steamers arrivedit was completely envel
oped in flames and more than half con
sumed. The firemen wisely abandoned it
and turned their attention to saving the
property on either side, which they suc
ceeded in doing, although the hair estab
lishment was completely destroyed with all
its contents. It was of the "Iron clad" class
and of little value, although it contained at
the time considerable material. We did
not learn the lossor whether there was any
insurance upon it. It belonged to the Illi
nois Hide and Leather Company, and was
in charge of tdr. Thomas Meanor,the agent.
The origin of the fire has not been , ascer
tained. •

a copy - of the January issue of the Pitts

implies, this work is devoted to the adver

their hands for disposal. -The, present issue
contains descriptions of over seven hun

consisting of honses, lots, farms, hotels,
stores, western lands, city and suburban
residences, with prices and terms of sale.
Messrs. Croft tt Phillips are the only agents
in the city that issue a work of this .kind,
but the extensive real estate business they
do fully justifies them in the undertaking,
as their efforts to supply the want of such
are being fully repaid by an appreciative
public. As the circulation of the Reg hose

Dr. Boss' Four Great Remedies— Pitts
burgh Depot Established for their ale.
Few medicinal preparations have made
more rapid inroad into the confidence of
large masses of the intelligent peop
le of
our country than the sterling remedies
bearing the eminent name of Dr. Boss, of
New York. His "Rheumatic Remedy,"
for rheumatism, "Crimea Water," for ca
tarrh and, diseases of the head, "Tar Com
pound" for the throat and lungs, and "Dys
pepsia Cure," are preparations compounded
on the strictest principles of pharmacology
and have, through their own efficacy and
merit, gained widespread fame. They were
originally used as private remedies pre
scribed by the skilful practitioner and in
ventor, but , meeting with such remarkable
success in every case; there was created a
large demand for the ,medicines, and Dr.
Ross has wisely chosen to establish a na
tional agency in Pittsburgh for their sale,
selecting Messrs. Shook & White, eminent
ly worthy and responstble gentlemen, as
his sole agents. This firm have opened
commodious quarters at No. 28 St. Clair
street, where the standard proparatious
will be sold and agencies appointed and
supplied. The diseaged can call and ob
tain a remedy at trifling cost at this [depot,
which will certainly prove worthy of their
confidence, and thus. save save _the physician's
fee. We fool that when the Malta
of Dr. Boss' remedies are knOwn they will
be used to the exclusion of most of: those
new enjoying public popularity. '
If-this Should Meet the Fire
Of persons afflicted with any of the follow
ing -diseases, by calling at the medicine
agency of Dr. Ross, No. 28 Sixth (late St.
Clair) street, will be assured of speedy re
lions
lief an are d pe compounded rmanent cure.
from These prenala
par
re
ceipts of Dr. Ross, and have been used by
him with great success. Dr. Ross' Rheu
matic Remedy has-never failed to cure the
worst cases in a short time. Dr. Ross' Dys
peptic cure, aged persons and those of weak
constitutions, will lind this remedy of•grear
benefit. Dr. Ross Tar Compound, for
coughs, colds and diseases of the hangs, has
no equal. Dr.Ross' Crimea Water is the
best remedy for catarrh known. A cure
warranted in every case.
Disappointed.
A large volume of smoke issuing from
the furnace stack, and an occasional
shoWer of sparks, from one corner of the
roof, caused a large crowd to collect around
the Custom,Efouse Riturday mornin run
the expectation of seeding a lire break .
They were doomed to disappointment ,
however, as it was ascertained that the
sparks came from a small chimney Just
behind the parapet wall and concealed
from view by it. Upon learning this fact,
the crowd slowly dispersed, many of them,
doubtless, regretting that a conflagration
had not called into requisition their abili
ties and skill to extinguish it.

Commanders of some of the flying col

informed Cubans assert the contrary and
report that the, revolutionary forces are
constantly receiving accessions from within

The proclamation of liberty of the press
has gone into full effect. Leaders of the
