by boys for coasting and skating purposes,
much to the iinnoyance and discomfort of

of the police to the locality might bir/p.-

;Out of Order.--The big bell of the Fire
Alarm got out oforder yesterday at noon
and struck several blows, which caused
- many persons to think an alarm of ire was
being given. Such was not the case, how
,ever.. Only one blow should_ have been
struck on the bell, but, owing to some die
arrangement of the machinery it struck
several times too often.

Stolen Goods Recovered.
f Yesterday morning Mr. Isaac Cohen, of
Cincinnati, came to the Mayor's office and
madd information charging Harris Sam
uels with larceny. It appears that the
prosecutor is a pawnbroker, doing business
in Cincinnati, and be alleges that the ac
cused stole a number of gold watches and
chains and some other property, amounting
in all to r5O. He folloWed Samuels to
Bliffalsi, where he found his trunk in the
express office, and upoli having it searched
discovered apart of the goods. Samuels,
however, had left Buffalo before Cohen ar
rived there, and while the trunk was being
examined a 'dispatch was received from
him, dated at Pittsburgh, requesting the
express agent to forward the trunk to this
city. Mr. Cohen, followed him here and.
made the information as stated. -A war
rant was issued and placed in the handsOT
officer Moessner, who repaired to the ex-•
press office and when Samuels called for
the trunk he .was arrested _and with his
trunk taken to the Mayor's office. The
trunk was examined, but the most value
tble portion of the property had been
removed, 'and the accused proposed
to the prosecutor that' if he would
withdraw the information and agree
not to prosecute him he would return the
stolen goods, to which Mr. Cohen assented.
The officer, accompanied by Samuels and
Cohen, repaired to a house on Perry street,
in the cellar of which the goods or a greater
portion of them were found, They weaimed
turned over to lidr. Cohen, who cl
there were two watch chains get missing.
Samuels admitted taking the watch
chains, and said that H. - Goldstein had
them. Mr.l G. was called upon, but de
nied having the chains. He said that
Sarnueis had offered to sell them to him,
and he had gone with him to a jeweller to,
ascertain the value of the chains but had
not taken them. Samuels insisted that he
did get them, and said that he had not paid,
him for, them, and 'as Goldstein still de
nied having them, Samuels made infornia
tion before the Mayor charging him with
larceny. Goldstein was arrested and held
for a hearing.
Monongahela Wharf Committee Meeting.
- The Monongahela Wharf Committee of
City Councils held a meeting last evening,
at their rooms, and organized by electing
Mr. Semi Morrow, Chairmin. The im
provements to the wharf during the past
year greatly exceeded the appropriation
made therefor, incurring the necessity of
asking a much larger amount from Councils
this year than the Committee otherwise
shouldlaye done. Trie estimated indebt
edness is. about ;15,500: this, with the
usual appropriation of 55,000, will make
the sum which the Committee will need
523,500. The Committee discussed the
means of raising revenue from the wharf
and passed resolutions on the subject. It is
proposed to do entirely away with the sys
tem of renting wharf privileges, by the
year and to charge fees for barges landing,
'allowing them three das to discarge their
freight. The Wharfinasyter was inatruted
to rigidly enforce the ordinance forbidding
the depositing on the wharf and in the river
of cinders and rubbish; an d wh e er tits
practice is adhered to by parties, to insti
tute legal proceedings at once against them.
'
Church sociable.
• Last evening the congregation of which
Rev. Dr. Spionll is pastor held a most de
lightful church sociable in their new' edi
lice on Sandusky street, one square above
Ohio. Allegheny. The church ,
had been
brilliantly illuminated for the affair and
presented an exceedingly beautiful and at
tractive appearance. The members of the
church, old and young, were in attendance.
In full force,"and entered_ with a frank and
\hearty zest into all the pleasures of the oc-
eesion. At a seasonable hour the sociable
was brought to a close, and the company,
dispersed with pleasant recollections of km
evening spent in a happy and enjoyable
Manner.

Disturbing thelledmen.
It may be a matter of news to some of
our readers to hear that, notwithstanding
Pittsburgh is not in the far west, upon
the extreme borders of civilization, the
camp fires of the red men are lighted
weekly and may be seen brightly b,urning
in b u ild ing at the corner of Grsint and
Diamond streets. Such, however, is the
fact. We do not mean that denizen of the
forest, who delights in scalping white \ men
child ruurdering defenceless women and
ilren, but a more peaceful and enlight
ened band, known as the Independent Or
der of Badmen. Wednesday evening last
the.fire was lighted in the "Wigwam"re
fefred to, the members had assembled for
the transaction of business, and were pro
gressing favorably when an unusual noise
was heard, which proceeded from the ante
room. \ Upon investigation it appeared that
Mr. James Coop, Janitor of the building,
had declared war against the doer keeper
for refusing him admittance to the lodge.
Mr. Coop had, by some means, lost his key
to the building, and thinking the red men
had it, was about to enter the lodge in
search of it when the guardian, or door
keeper, stopped him. This gave him
offence and he raised a:disturbance, for
which Mr. Fred. Schmidt appeared before
the Mayor and made infornaation, charging
Coon with disturbing a public assembly.
Ile was arrested and held for a hearing.

The Proposed New Dollar Saviags Bank
Building.
Marillg the past year there have been
erected in Pittsburgh scores of magnifi
cent buildings for business purposes, which`
tend to adorn and beautify the city. Fourth
avenue has been especially honored, and
the elegant blocks approaching completion
will compare favorably with any found in
other cities. The Dollar Savings Bank pro
poses shortly to erect a building which will
prove a great additien to the architectural
beauties of the cities. In referring to the
design, the Philadelphia Bulletin - says:
Messrs. Isaac H. Hobbs ct. Son, architects,
(if 'this city, have on exhibition a beautiful
drawing of their design for the blding of
the Dollar Savings Bank of Pit ui tsburgh.
This edifice is to be constructed of Connec
ticut brown stone, and we venture to say it
will be the handsomest piece of architec
ture in the Smoky City. The design is
bold and striking, and entirely original.
The details are harmonious,' and there is
none of that conglomeration of a dozen dif
ferent styles which is so offensively per
ceptible in most of our pretentious build
ings. The edifice has rounded, corners,
and au extensive side, so that the street
effect will be unusually handsome. The
(departure from the usual custom of pre
ilsenting'a fiatgront is very commendable.
In street architecture the( buildings are
more seen in -coming
site towards them than
from a directly •oppo point of view.
We consider the attempt referred to a good
one, and we would like to see Philadelphia
`m some;of equal architectural merit.
sharpsbUrg Borough Councils.
The first regular meeting of the new
Councils of die Borough of Sharpsburg was
held in the Town Hall on Wednesday

ness in order was the election of borough

Lumber, and Where to rurchase.
The attention of builders, carpenters and
dealers in lumber is directed to the card,
in another column, of Mr. Alexander Pat
terson, the extensive wholesale and retail
dealer in lumber, whose office and yard s
are at No. 157 Rebecca street, opposite .t
gas works, and corner of Preble and Juni
ata streets, Sixth ward, Allegheny. It is
very generally acknowledged Una at no
other yards in this section of country can
a larger and better assortment of first
quality lumber be found than at Mr. Pat
terson's. It its made up of and la,
scantling, joists, shingles, locust cedar
posts, weather boardlng,flooring, fancy sid
ing, patent spouting, &c., while a very fine
assortment of oak, poplar ash, and yellow
pine and dry lumber will be found. Mr.
Patterson is a courteous and honorable
business gentleman, with whom it is a
pleasure to deal, and we bespeak for him a
fair share of the patronage of our readers.
The Manchester cars run in close proximity
to his yards, so that there is no inconven
• fence in 'visiting his extensive and well
stacked yards.
Three Charges.—George Johnson pro
prietor of a small saloon.near the lainers
ville car station, was brought before Alder
man Strain, yesterday, on three iifforma
tions, one for selling liquor-without license,
one surety of the peace, and the last for
_disorderly conduct, all preferred against
him by Patrick Duffy. The prosecutions
grew out of a quarrel between the parties,
which occurred in the saloon a few even
ings since. The accused was arrested and
gave Dail for a hearing.
