The MonumentarAssociation, an or
ganization having in charge the matter
of erecting a suitable memorial of the
deceased soldiers from Allegheny count-,
ty, during the late war, held a meeting
on Saturday afternoon in the rooms of
the Young Men's Christian Association,
Fifth avenue. Nearly all of the mem
bers were present, and the Association
came to order at three o'clock, when, on
motion of Gen. A. L. Pearson, Mr. Pres
ton was called to the chair, and Col. T.
M. Bayne appointed Secretary;
The minutes of the preceding meeting
were read and approved.
..Capt. B. F. Jennings, Chairman of the
Committee appointed at the last meeting
to procure a charter, reported progts,
and asked for instructions. There w a
difficulty in the matter, as the opinion
had been expressed that the Courts could
not grant articles of corporation to an
Association 'consisting of - ladies alone.
Mrs. Robinson stated that the Womens'
Home of Pittsburgh was incorporated,
and it was altogether Customary to. in
corporate associations for various-pur
poses, In which ladies alone appeared as
the incorporators.
Mrs, McKee moved the addition of the
gentlemen composing the original Build
ing Committee to the Committee on
Charter.
The President said this would only
make the matter more complicated. •
Capt. W. B. Cook said, if this was done;
the name of the association would have
to be changed, as it was now known as
the "Ladies Monumental Association,"
and the motion 'adopted at last meeting,
constituting ladies only members of the
corporation would have to be reconsid
ered. For his part, - he ivould rather
leave the matter in the hands of the la
dies.
Capt. Jennings suggested the discharge
of all committees, until the act of incor
poration was prOcured.
Major Samuel Kilgore moved as an
amendment an increase in the number
comprising the Building Committee,
The amendment was not seconded.
After some Anther discussion the mo
tion of Mrs. McKee was lost by a vote of
four to eleven.
Mrs. McKee presented a communica
tion from Charles A. Miller, Adjutant of
Post 35, G. A. R., dated May 1, . 1868, pro
testing against the location of the 'pro
posed monument in the Allegheny
Cemetery.
On motion of Major Kilgore the com
munication was laid on the table.
Mrs. - McKee also presented the report

SATURDAY, February 19.- Lewis Lane,
colored, convicted on an indictment
in which he was charged with murdering
his wife, Henrietta Lane, by means of
administering poison to her, was called
up for sentence the accused, It will be
remembered, has twice been found guilty
of the crime by ajury, the case having
been carried to the Supreme Court on a
writ of error, ttie judgement reversed
,and a hew trial awarded. Mr. Haines,
one of the prisoner's counsel, again
moved for a new trial, and Judge Stowe
delivered the opinion of the Court over
ruling themotion, after• which the pr:s
crier was directed to stand up and
asked if he had aught to say why
sentenoo of death should not be
passed upon him according to - lair.
He replied that he had nothing to
say, only that he was not guilty of the
crime. His Honor, who had risen to his
feet, then alluded t o the crime of which
the prisoner had been convicted, refer
red to the two trials which had been no-
corded to him, and urged him not to rely
upon the hopes of any further interfer
ence on the part of the Supreme Court.
His Honor then pronounced the dread
sentence of the law, as follows: "Louis
Lane, the sentence of the law is that you
be taken hence to the jail of-Allegheny
county, the place whence you came, and
from thence to the place• of execution,
and that there you be hanged by the
neck till you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul."
The prisoner's/ counsel will carry the
case up again upon a writ of error, and
may probably snowed in obtaining an
other trial.
Mr. Haines and his associates deserve
great credit for the manner in which they
have managed the case.

tors-17eirowarded Labor.
An exceedingly daring housebreaking
operation was performed in Allegheny
on Wednesday evening last, brit fortu
nately the operators, notwithstanding
all their boldness and. skill, failed to
secure anything worthy of their
pains. The scene. Of the affair was
a house in Sterretts alley, Third
ward; occupied by Mrs. Gibson, a .
widow, who lives a quiet and retired
life, with none but herself in the house.
About midnight on the evening named
she was awakened out of her sleep by
a noise as of some one in the room,, and
upon fully arousing herself, she diseoy
ered three men, masked and carrying re
volvers, standing by her bedside. Be
fore she could make an outcry, one of
the men placed a revolver to her head
and bade her keep quiet. He then, still
holding the deadly weapon in the same
position, in a few words, stated that they
nazi entered the house for the purpose of
securing a sum of money, which she had
received that day from the rental of some
property in another part of the city.
She protested that it was a mistake, that
no money of any account was in the
house, but the intruders persisted 'in
their statements, and to satisfy them=
selves two of them commenced a search
of the premises ' while the other kept
strict watch on their Victim. The house
was thoroughly ransacked from cellar to
attic, drawers overturned, the contents
of b oxes scattered' about, cupboards in
spected, portions of the podding ripped
open, and in fact not a' crack or cranny
seemed to escape the vigilanttearch, but
the supposed treasure was not to be
found. Daring the continuance of the
overhauling the fellows were quite com
municative, and expressed themselves as
being reluctantly oompelledto proceed in
such a manner to obtain a livelihood, ow
ing to the dullness of the times and the
impossibility of securing honest labor.
They remained! in the house several
hours, and at the conclusion of their
search, departed as they came, taking
nothing with them and without' offering
any violence to the lady, or in any way
demeaning themselves as roughs. In
the morning it was discovered that ope
of the panels of the front door had' been
cut out large enough to admit a hand,
by which admission to the house was
gained.
Mrs. Gibson on Thursday rdorning left
the house and went to her brother-In
laws',. Mr. Geo. W. Evans, who resides
in another part of the city, where she
has since remained. The exaitement
and fright of the occasion brought on .a
severe attack of illness, but it is proba
ble she will recover in a few days, and
no serious consequences are apprehend
ed. There isnot the slightest clue which
might lead to the identification of the
men engaged in the operation, and it is
quite likely they will escape.
The affair throughout was one of 'ex
treme' andacity. and boldness, and is
quite a forcible reminder of the "Ku-
Klux" operations which have. spread
such a terror among the inhabitants of
some other portions of the country.
Larceny of Logs.
On Saturday evening information was
made before Mayor Drum against Geo.
McDonald and Charles Caakey; two boys
about eighteen years of age each, charg
ing ttiem with Weeny. The alleged of
fence consisted in cutting loose a log raft
from the landingof Mr. Wm. Dilworth's
planing mill, Fifth ward, Allegheny, on
Wednesday evening,andta king the prop
erty to Baden,about thirty miles down the
river, where they sold it far thirty dol
lars. The raft was valued at seventy-five
dollars. As soon as the loss became
known, one of Mr. Dilworth's e'mployees
started in pursuit of the thieves, and
succeedesi in- securing them at Baden.
They were brought back to Allegheny,
and while getting off the cars at the
Federal street station, McDonald broke
away from his captor and made his
escape. Caskey was taken to the Mayor's
office and entered bail for a hearing this
afternoon at three o'clock. Caskey
states that he was standing on a corner
near the mill, on Saturday morning, in
company with a crowd of boys, when he
was approached by a man who offend
him two dollars fbr assisting him to take
the raft from McKee's Rocks, where it
was then lying; to Baden. He accepted
the offer arid had just completed the con
tract when he was arrested. The facts
of the case will doubtless be developed
at the hearing this afternoon.

The Aueghemy Bewenge.
Enrroas GlazierrE: One of the most
important measures before the Allegha
ny Councils is the new sewerage laW'
which, if passed, changes the manner
making assessments from the, "superfi
clal foot" to "valuation." The law, as i
now stands, is exceedingly obnoxious t
parties owning large scopes of ground I
the rural districts, for the reason that
while It adds nothing to the value df
their property, it largely increases their
taxes, causing them a heavy outlay with
out any benefit. The idea ot taxing
property which is located perhaps a mile
distant from the sewer as much as that
which is not two squares distant, and
which is benefited and enhanced in
value by the same, is perfectly absurd,
and it seems to me that for the city to at
tempt to collect the tax under the pres
ent law would be an act of tyra nny and
oppression unheard of in this country.
To illustrate: A lot in We rural districts
worth, say five or six hundred dollars, is
taxed as much as another lot in the cen
tral part of the city worth five thousand
or perhaps ten thousand dollars, while at
the same time, be it remembered, the
latter is benefited by the sewer and en
hanced in value, while the former derives
no benefit whatever. There is no equity
or sense in the law as it now stands;
it is said that there is nothing like it
in any city In this country, and the
sooner It is erased from the statute books
and blotted out of existence the better.
The Councils, or at least a majority of
them, seem disposed to ,do what is right
in the matter, and the new bill, which is,
now under consideration, affords the re
lief that is asked. By the provisions of
the new law the tax is pat on the valua
tion, and all will be assessed equally and
fairly; and then there will be no cause
for complaint; the city will be enabled
to go ahead with the work, and the citi
zens will be willing to pay their share of
the expense.
-The importance of having the city well
severed is conceded; and no one, not
even those located a mile distant from
any ot them, and who really receive no
benefit whatever, excepting, perhaps,-in
a sanitary point of view, will, object to
paying their pro rata; but when it comes
to - laying it on as it has been done under
the present law, and for the sewers built
last year, it is more than the people can
stand. JUSTICE.
A Nuisance,
.
The custom of blockading the entrance
to the Opera House at the conclusion of
the entertainment, which is indulged in
by a large number of fellows, unworthy
the name of gentlemen, is an intolerable
nuisance, and should be abated. We
can see no reason why men should be
allowed to congregate at that particular
point, obstructing the sidewalk and star
ing honest people out of countenance,
when it is prohibited in other places. If
the nuisance cannot be prevented during
the week it probably can be on Sunday
evenings, so that people who have at
tended religious services at the Opera
House may not be subjected to the an
noyance.. Last evening when the con
gregation were retiring the sidewalk
was blockaded tor a distance of twenty
or thirty feet, so that it was almolt im
possible fOr ladies to get through the
crowd.

Rev. Samuel Collins, the energetic Su
perintendent of the United Presbyterian
Board of Publication, 93 Third avenue,
has handed us a copy of the Subordinate
Standards of the United Presbyterian
Church of North America, bound in one
volume. It contains the Westminster
Confession of Faith; Larger and Shorter .
Catechisms; Testimony and Adopting
Act; Government and Discipline and
Directory for Worship. The book is
printed with clear typo on mow-white
paper, and being of convenient size will.
be a valuable =de mecum to United
Presbyterians—both lay and clerical.
Mr. Collins has all the publications of
the Board for sale,-in addition to a choice
assortment of Bibles, Testaments and
Psalm Books and religious and theolog
ical works generally.
A Novelty.
A very great novelty has been pre
sented to the Pittsburgh public by the
New England Jewelry Manufacturing
Company, at No. 8.5 Smithfield street.
The novelty does not consist in the fact
that this great Company has opened an
Agency at the above number, but in the
truth that they dispose of genuine ar
ticles of their own manufacture rat one
third their real value. • Their plan of dia
. sing of these articles is peculiar, and
ply explains the seeming mystery.
They dispose of photographs, aocompany.
/lug which are notes specifying the ar
ticles purchasers are entitled to for
twenty-five cents. In this way knives,
albums, do g intrinsically worth one dol
lar are disposed of at twenty-five cents—
each purchaser having a chance for the .
Bathe small investment of drawing a val n
uable gold watch, silver tea set, or other'
articles of 'value. The immense sales of
these articles procured in this pleasant )
way will account to any reasonable mind
for their marvelous cheapness. Quick
sales and small profits will solve the
problem. /

Our readers contemplating the pur:-
chase of a sewing maohine should not
overlook the famous Singer Machine, aa'
lately improved. -
It is now the moat perfect in the, world;
runs as light, as the lightest; is almost
noiseless, makes the perfect lock stitch'
alike on both aides, and is a perfect mar
vel of perfection and simplicity.
It is complete with Hemmer, Feller
and Braider, &c.
The new Singer has been advertised
and puffed less than. any machine in the
market, and yet its sales outnumber the
sales of its competitors- by many thous
ands annually, since its introduction
three years since, proving conclusively
that it is sold strictly and eiatirely'on its
own merits. The Singer. Company are
now manufacturing sixteen hundred
machines per week, which is double the
amount made by any other ( company.
While these figures may seem enormous,
an examination of• the Singer Machine
will explain its wonderful popularity-
These machines are sold in the city by.
Messrs. Straw & Morton, corner of St.
Clair and Penn street:
They keep a large and elegant stock of
machines on hand at all times, and take
pleasure in exhibiting them to visitors.
The terms of payment are as favorable
as these of any othit house. All ma
chines are warranted three years, and
instructions free.
