Persevering.—The pers. present city oflicials in endeavoring to enforce • all city ordimnces, is highly coinn3endable. A nuinber of cases were disposed oi r yesterday be-fore His Honor, the Mayor, for various offences, such as blockading the sidewalks, driving fast over crossings, blockading street cross: ings with teams, 4cc. The usual sentence. , of .1,2 and costs was imposed in each case. The Sabbath 'Question:—Rov. Philip Schaff, D.

The accused was arrested and held for a heariag. Tired of L Mr. Walter Davis. a ..arder at the Greenwood Hotel, attemp ed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor yesterday morning. Mr. Davis has far four or five. years past been employed by the Al legheny Valley Railroad Conipany, in the ,capacity of night watchman the depot, on Pike street, and was always a sober, steady man, and attentive to his business, Some two weeks since, he was discharged and thrown out of em ployment, in consequence of which he became despondent land resorted to strong drink. Fors ilveral daYs past it appears he has shown symptoms of nia nia potg and evinced a desire to destroy his life, 'but no one thinight him in earn est in the matter, and consequently gave it no attention. Yesterday morning he wanted whiskey, and the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Abraham Greenwood; re fused to give him any, and remonstrated with him for drinking so mach. Davis made no reply, but left the house, and,it appears,sttec,eeded in getting liquor some where else. He came back to . the lintel shortly be:ore eight o'clock, intoxicated. He went to his room, and shortly after Mr. Greenwood, having some business with him, went to his room, and found him sitting on the bed with a razor in his hand, and the blood flowing from his neck. He took the razor from him, and calling assistance, succeeded in stopping the flow of blood. Davis requested,him to give him the razor again to allow him to finish the job — , but Mr. G. declined and compelled him to go to bed, intending to keep him in the house until he recover ed. 'The door was fastened. but. Davis, managed to open it and get out. He was discovered ,and taken. pack,.where he was kept until after dinner; when he dgain-mar,aged to escape, and succeeded in getting liquor :enough to make him drunk. Mr. G. finding in impossible . him in the house brought him to the lock-up and requested that he be de-, taloned until such time as he should re cover. Dr. Murdoch • was sent for and dressed the wound on his neck, which was= ugly . gash, °lathe left aide, about two inches in length and fully half an_ inch deep. The cut was sufficiently deep to have severed the artery, had it not been too far back. He will probably\ be sent to jail this morning, or to some of the hos pitals, as he is not a fit subject to run at large. The final arrangements in the reorgan ization of the Allegheny police force were made last evening by Mayor Drum, in conjunction with the Police CoMmittee of the City Councils, and the new system adoptod will go into effect on Monday: next. There are at present thirty-nine policemen on the force, exclusive of the ChieL Four of these, via. Alf. Gobby, Martin Shaffer, William Green and Jack son Scott, have been - detailed 'as the office force. Two of the office force will be on duty at the office during the day, the other two doing such special outside work as may be assigned them, and the men alternating each weekin the office. , - Of the remaining members of. the force, ten have been selected_as the day force, of which officer John; Meltoberts Is Lieu tenant. These 'men 'go on' Atilt at one o'clock in the afternoon and remain un til midnight. Each of them will have a regular beat, and be paid twenty-live cents per day more than those of the-of fice force. Tweety-three men have been detailed as it night watch, with Samuel Crow as Captain.„ The night Watch will goon duty at nin o'clock in the- even ing and remain until six o'clock next morning. They Iso will be-paid twen ty-five cents extr The remaining offi cer. Wm. Nixon, has - .been detailed us "ordinance officer;" having for his pre scribed duties attention to the enforce ment of all ordinances relative to- street obstructions, nuisances, dec. The whole force is under the supervis ion of the Chief of Police, Mr. Wm. Bow den, one of the ablest and most experi enced officers in the police service. - It was originally intended to divide the force into three equal sections or re liefs, but after due consideration the system as given above was adopted. It is thought it will answer the purpose and be more effective, than the plan of three reliefs, besides being somewhat less Chi' rgeverance 9f the PITTSVURGH GAZETTE i THURSDAY, : ' ' '25, 186 P. The Allegheny Police Force. expensive. With the new unSorms and the new system in operation after Monday next, our sister city may be indulged a little in the boast of the appearance and effi ciency of her police force. Determined Ellbn to Escape We mentioned y*sterday that officer Belt, of Alderman Taylor's police, had arrested C. 0. Hess upon a dispatch re ceived from the authorities at Latrobe stating that the inan was wanted there. The chap, it seems, when arrested went along quietly enough as long as officer Bell,.stayed by bim, but when that officer left him on the cars at East Liberty, in charge,of a Constable from Latrobe, he beztur to be obstreperous. After the train had left the East Liberty station and had proceeded a short distance, he left his seat and, while the train was in full mo tion, made a desperate leap and alighted 'on the ground beside the, track unhurt. Not to be outwitted In thik manner, the • Constable leaped after him, and commenced a pursuit, the prisoner making good use of his legs, ran in the direction of BraddOck's Fields, closely followed ,by the constable, who with the aid of a resident of tho p lace, succeeded in rearresting him there. He was brouget • back to the city, and the servnea of officer Bell, agahr procured to aid in getting him to his destina tion./ At last accounts he was securely locked up in the Greensburg jail, there being no institution of that kind in La trobe. The pr sorer is charged with ob taining money Item several parties in Latrebe by false pretence by represent ing that he was the owner of A large lot of hay in the vicinity, and would return the money as scion as he could make a sale, which, it is alleged, Is altogether amimaginary case. • In Favor.—We 'observe by the Mercer., Di.spltch that the Bethel Coal Company of Middlesex have In use one of the beautiful and unique locomotives manu factured by Messrs. Smith tit Porter, ma ,Chhilsts and engineers of this city. This. enterprising firm, whose extensive works are located in South Pittsburgh, and office at the corner of Water street and Cherry alley, make a specialty of little engines or locomotives, which are perfect specimens of mechanical skill and per fectiont and are being very generally adopted throughout the country in mines, pits and other places, where their I ' great convenience is appreciated. Gray's Printing luk.—We have tried most of the first.olastrprinting inks man ufactured in this country, and know whereof we speak in reootninending that manufactured at Gray's Ferry Printing Ink Works, •Rhiladelphia, as superior to any in use. It is easily worked in all sorts of weather, is clear, clean and pretty, and in many ways far ahead of inks sold'at much higher prices. We are seconded 111 this recommendation by our pressman, in the correctness of whose judgment in matters pertaining to the press-room we have unlimited confi dence. • Narrow Escape_: From. Death. David Burke, a resident of-the Second ward, Allegheny ,_narrowly escaped a horrible death yesterday afternoon about five o'clock, and was, onlyssaved,,by the prompt exertions of officer * Shaffer, of the Allegteny poiice foree. He got aboard of a freight tralat the outer depot of the Fort Wayne • R lroad, intending , • to - ride to* the Fder ` street station. ti As the train neared that 'station, he attempted to get Each - ` to the rear from the front car by walking over the tops of, those intervening, but as he was slightly , intoxicated this proved to be a rather difficult undertaking, and the train passed over Federal street before he had glithalf way back. Officer Shaffer, who ppened to be coming by Federal street, just then noticed Burke's movement, and fearing, that some accident would occur, followed, the' train as fast' as he could. , When it had reached the curve in the 'track,: near 'Lsicock street, Burke had succeeded in getting on the last car, but in attempting to climb down the ladder, at the side, he missed his hold and fell 'to the ground, rolling over to the other track. Another train was coining from au opposite direction along this track. and officer Shaffer half but just, suf ficient time to get to the Waco and jerk the man to one side when this train went speeding by. In the fall Burke bad sprained his left ankle badly,- and could not Stand upright without as sistance. He was' taken officer to the Mayor'abilice,,ivhezie the Injured'an kle received: proper iittention, and W,hera -he remained for the, night*** crg his intoxication. His escape from aniriltant and horrible, death was an exceedingly liairow - drie:'fbi :- ha& the officer arrived but a moment ;later, his mangled-re mains would have furnished a - subject for a Coroner'sinvestigation. =, - to keep An thnitidote. In our ;eport ,of, coupon , proceeding. of Monday, we were compelled to.prnit the remarkS of Dr. Hallaghet•,upon 'the pro posed act for a Paid Fire Hepattment, in consecittelied tilt, orhelded-state*Of oar colusans. The Doctor opp9e,o4ittelosgto nre strongly, andits,43efeat ,b , Ctay 33e largely attributed to hie eiertionsu His Itunarks.were in substanqe as foildvirs: The Commission sppointed to prepare ltid : bill - titebttiniated the cast 'of ope rating the, Department at eBO,OQO. -They had made a—mistake-in- thia -respect, They had made .no provittions for the wear and tear,. breakage and damages of the apparatus, &c, and 'this: Indludod would swell the amount to V 5,0110. The fire conapanies wore delA to the . amount of 420,00, and e25.000.w0u1d .156 required to purchase the apparatus, ..tc. The paid fire department would call for an outlay Of 15125,000 the first year, and 175,000 every year thereafter. This would require a taxation of five and a half per cent. of the entire valuation of the city —015,000,000. The city was making great improvements, far ahead of the progress of time; but this improvement was un necessary and uncalled for, had not been petitioned for-by the citizens, and was a stupendous undertaking to involve a great tax on the citizens. The yha of the most effectively organized and praiseworthy fire clepartments in the Union, and the act should therefore be squelcLed. • The Lecture To -night our lecture-going oommunitV will be treated to the most delightful en tertainment offered this season under the auspices of the Yonrig lien's Mercantile Library Committee, in a lecture by Miss Olive Logan. It has not boon our pleas! ure to heara,Miss Logan at the desk, but we know her as a sprightly writer, a . keen observer, and a woman of. elegant finish and manners. We depend much on our exchanges in forming judgment of the lady in her capacity as a lecturer, and unless the press of the country have conspired to give her eminent standing, she better deserves a larger audience than any of the lecturers who have Ap peared thus far this season. There will be no reserved seats nor extra charge on season tickets. In speaking of her lec ture on "Paris. the City of Luxury," the Philadelphia Bullethz said Her cultivated elocution and manner, her sense of the iltnesses of speech and action, and-her trained knowledge of the art of entertainment, give her wonderful advantage over thvordinary race of lec turers. Her lecture sparkles with wit and humor, and abounds with ludicrous pictures, but never falls for an instant from the high level of purity—moral. in tellectual and artistic purity. It differs from ordinary lectures in that it will bear liaring, again. •and again—just as some of Thaelteray's and Dickens' novels will bear reading again and again—with au additional relish. Should be .Stopped There is a practice prevalent among conductors on our street railways of stopping their cars on street-crossings, while passengers get on or off, thereby Obstructing the crossings and occasion ing pedestrians no little inconvenience. It often happens, especially on. some of the most frequently traveled thorough fares, that a dozen persons are thus made to yield to the accommodation of one, or turnout in the mud and make a circuit of the car. This is a bad practice, and should be done away with. We noticed that some attention has been called to the matter in gheny, the chief of police having his Alle officers to see that the nuisance is abated, and the ordinance in relation to street obstructions enforced in this case as well as in any other. This is a good idea and wo would; like to see it carried out in our own city. John Grafton, engineer of Engine No. 17,0 n the Cleaveland and Pittsburg Rail road, won the annual prize of tsloo for running his engine the greatest number of miles with the least expense during the past year. This is the third time Mr:Grafton has been successful. On the Wheeling Division of the toad. Mr. . Ed ward Smith, of Engin No 10,as the successful competitor e for the reward. This competition for the prize was first inaugurated about five years since, and, has occasioned a spirited but perfectly good humored , rivalry among the en gineers on the passenger trains, to whom it is restricted,which has not been without its beneficial results in many respect's.

A New Project The subject of a side-walk bridge acrossthe mud lake on the side-walk, west side of Federal street, Allegheny, at thecgateway of the Railroad Company, is much talked of by those who pass that way in wet- weather. This, however, is opposed by the loafers who congregate in the neighborhood to laugh at the struggles and frequent discomfiture of ladies and children who attempt the paisage'tbttough. If the joint or sepa rate effettskar the,Railroad. Company and Street Commissioner shall fall for a year or two more to abate this grievous nui sance, a bridge or ferryboat will have to be supplied.

We did not learn the particulars of the case; but as the Mayor investigated 'the matter him self we are satisfied. 'The result is as we anticipated, as we know the officers named to be efficient and reliable. Thayer's Circas.—Friday evening next, at this fashionable resort will be a carni val of fun. It will afibrd our citizens an opportunity of practically showing their appreciation of faithful services render- ed by one of our most popular entertain- ,ers. Dr. Thayer, upon that occasion, .will take his first complimentary benefit. This fact alone should fill the - house to overflowing. The programme, however, will be one of remarkable attraction. The entire strength of the establishment will appear in new and varied novelties. An old Pittsburgh favorite—Mr. Sam. Weiser, has kindly consented, to appear in his speciality as Trick Clown, aided by a host of volunteer talent: Dr, Thay er will appear in Motley throughout the evening, and should be greeted by an overflowing house. We understand the original Ku Kluxers are conking and will shortly appear under the command of Major General James C.
