sequence of previous injuries 'on the
head, the defendant was more easily ex
cited by liquor than he otherwise would
be. In view of this fact the Court stated
that a much lighter penalty would be
imposed, although such injuries afforded
ho palliation of the offense itself. The
defendant' was then sentenced to pay the
costs of prosecution, and to undergo two
years imprisonment in the Western Pen
itentiary.

AForockstui Dog Without anOvrner
Thomas O'Connor made information
before the Mayor yesterday. charging
Lizzie Jackson with keeping a ferocious
dog,
g and Lizzie returned the favor by
making information against Thomas for
disorderly conduct and surety of , the
voice. It" appears that Mts. O'Connor,
'Thomas' wife, was bitten by a =ferocious
dog on St. Patrick's day in the immediate
vicinity ,of Lizzie Jackson's premises,
and that Thomas immediately repaired
to Lizzle's residence, and , acted in a
disorderly wanner, threatening to take
'her life unless she produced the fero
cious pup that had bitten his wife. Upon
investigation it was ascertainted that the
dog did not •belong , to Lizzie, but was
“nobody's dog," (an unfortunate • ant.
mai by the way,) and.the tog case was
consequently disoontinued'at the coat of
the prosecutor. ,O'Connor watt required '
to pay a fine and the costa: in the disor
derly Conduct case, and the surety case
was withdrawn.

Explosion at Church Son--Pius Ilea
A mast terrible , socideitt r Mal in Its
consequences, occurred at Church
about one mile from Titusville,on Thurs
day of last week, the particulars of
which we gather from the. Titusville
Herald.
About half-past four o'clock Thursday,
A. D. Griffin, W. H. Todd, William Bills
and Col. P. Davidson were in the office
of the latter preparing a torpedo for one
of the wells, and while working with it
in jarring down the charge the torpedo
exploded from the concussion. The
charge contained about seven pounds of
fulminating powder, and there were
about twenty pounds or the same mate
rial lying on the floor near where they
were working with the torpedo.
The building was of course blown into
fragments and its inmatesovith the ex
ception of Col. D.tovere instantly killed.
Their clothing "wait almost entirely
stripped from their bodies, which were
shockingly lacerated in every part. A
crowd of men were speedily gathered
from the vicinity. Col. Davidson was
found to be conscious, but utterly help
less, and experiencing intense pain.
His right thigh was severed to the bone,
as though laid open by an axe, and his
cheat, back, arms and head covered with
ghastly bums, his face burned to a crisp,
and the sight of one eye destroyed. His
first inquiries were concerning the fate
of his companions, whom he feared were
more severely hurt, and desired that they
should be attended to. A-litter was con
structed, upon which, as speedily as pos
sible, he was borne to the Bush House,
where he received all the care and med
ical attention that could - be given him;
but his injuries proved fatal and he ex
pired about five hours after the occur
rence. He - retained his mind, notwith
standing the terrible pain he must have
endured, was, perfectly conscious and
conversed rationally concerning his %ll
elneseuntil within a short time previous
to his death.l He was • a single man
and leaves a widowed mother and
brother residing at Middlebing, New
York, where his remains will be re
moved for burial
Mr. Griffin came to the oil regions
from Chicago about three years ago, and
had spent most of that interval at West
Pithole, where he was engaged in the
oil business. Colonel Todd was also
from Chicago, and is supposed to have
beeri interested in the sameimprove
ments. He had been a resident of the
oil regions for about thred years past.
Mr. Bills was from Allegheny Cily, and
had but recently entered the employ of,
of the company for exploding torpedoes.
All of the parties made their homes at
the Brush House. .
The remains of the latter three men
were forwarded to the residences of their
friends for burial, on Friday. They
were all unmarried men.
In the vicinity of the scene of the
fatal accident considerable damage
was done the tenements, the 'side
of one house,. that of Mr. W.
Watson, peing loosened from the rafters
and the window sash of the upper story
driven in with'great violence, Mrs. Wat
son escaping the missile in a very Provi
dential manner. _Lights, crockery, etc.,
wore broken by the concussion. A
Mrs. Bewton, living near by, was pros
trated to , the ground, put 'received only
slight bruises. Not a whole shingle of
the office is to be found; the trees around
look as if shells bad exploded in their
midst; boards were driven several feet
into the frozen • earth; the ground was
strewn around with bits of hair. flesh,
woad and iron; a mule attached. to a
wagon near by was struck dead: the
b :dies of the three men. who were in
stantly killed, were •lound lying within
a few feet of each other, being so black
ened and mutilated as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, one from another.
Amusements.
OPERABOUSE.—The past week at the
Opera House has been a profitable one to
the manager, and a highly enter
taining onelo the public, or at least the
amdsernent loving portion of the corn
triunity. . Mr. Jefferson, the great
comedian, in his specialty of "Rip Van
Winkle, or the Sleep of Twenty Years,"
has been the chief attraction. His repu
tation scan actor is so well established
that we could add nothing to it, no mat
ter how much we admire him. Mr. Jef
ferson was not the only person in the
cast of "Rip Van Winkle," which occu
pied the boardis during the entire,- week,
and which will be repeated to-night, who
received and Justly merited applause.
Miss Dargon, in - the role of Gretchen, has
fully established herself In the estima
tion of the patrons of the Opera House
as au actress of rare talent, a close and
careful student. Every action and
movement were made, - aud, every word
was spoken with a marvelous grace and
ease seldom acquired by any one so
young in the profession.
MASONIC HALL.—Emeripon, Allen and
Manning's Minstrels were greeted with
a large and select audience at Masonic
Hall Saturday evening. The entertain
ment, as on the previous evenings, was
of a highly satisfactory character. The
peforruance is entirely free from the stale
wit and worn-out slang which usually
attend exhibitions of this character, and
the music, both vocal and/instrumental.
is new and the selections excellent. It is
seldom our city Is visited by stick a com
pany of artists, and we regret that their
stay at Masonic Hall was so short. To
night they give an entertainment of Lib
ertyliall, Twenty-first ward, (late East
Liberty.)
• PrrrseusuirTHßATßE.—The new corn
pany at the Old Theatre continues to win
new laurels, and the popularity of the
different members Increases with each
entertainment. Lillie Becket, Little
Josie, the Barlow Brothers and La Belle
Louise are all favorite*. The_ entertain
ments at this eetabltihment are of a
novel and highly interesting Character.
throughout. .
SMYTHES AMERICAN THEATREo—Man
tager Smythe continues to add new at
tractions to the excellent company at the
American, and presents an entertain
ment unsurpassed by any Varieties es
tablishment in the country. There is a
change of programme every evening, so
that the patrons of the establishment are
not compelled to listen to anything that
s old or stale, but ma y expect something,
'resh and new every night. Lilly Becket,
the dashing ballad singer, will:appear at
the American to-night.
Tim Rl:rm.—The grand opening of the
Rink for Parlor Skates, and 'Velocipede
riding, has so far been a complete suc
cess, and it promises to be one of the
most attractive places of amusement in
the city. •The skating of the New York
Skating Association, now engaged at the
Rink, was highly attractive, and Mr. St.
Clair's Velocipede riding. was admirable.
The Rink is open every evening.
Muszum.—The man with the long
handl is the chief attraction at' Bamell's
Museum, this week.
FAut.—The Fair and Festival which
during last - week attracted:No / Many per

Shall We Have Pure Milk t
In Common Council at the last meal
ing, Mr. Batchelor introduced a resole
tion instructing the proper Committee to
report an ordinance, for the creation 'of
, •
the office of Milk Inspector for the city.
We sincerely trust that , the Col:Moils will
favorably act on the measure, inasmuch
aswe belleye in no city of the *ion are
the people more imposed on by dishon
est (biders in the all-necessary lacteal
fluid than in Pittsburgh. Much com
plaint reaches us that the milk daily
peddled about the streets in carts is not
only weak and watery but is made of
chalk, lime and other disagreeable adul
terations. Indeed, it is jocosely said that
a pump on a leading road from the rural
districts to the city has furnished more
milk to the people hereaboutiduking the
last twenty years than any two
dozen respectable dairies could' pro
vice daring the same term of years. Milk
adulteration is quite common throughout
the country, and it is idle ~to infer
that Pittsburgh alone has immunity from
dishonest and avaricious dealers. We
see it stated that a physician of Provi
dence, R. 1., asserts that ten pert cent. of
the 5,470,000 quarts of milk used in that
city daring the year is merely water, and
that the citizens accordingly pay $43,800
a year to get it in that form. He thinks
that the lives of a considerable 'number
of children are sacrificed every year by
the use of adulterated milk, they being
actually starved to death, because the
milk they use has so much water in it
that it will not nourish them, nor over,
support life. He goes further, and shows
that this dilution of milk falls with espe
cial severity on the poor. 'But in Maine
the late Legislature passed a law requir
ing inspectors of milk to be annually ap
pointed in cities ,and towns containing
not less than three thousand inhabitants.
Vendors of adulterated milk are to be
punished with a fine. -
The office of milk inspector might
be filled by some of our j market
house officials without any great
'cost to the city. We feel that there is a
neeessity for favorable action on' an ordi
nance creating the office, and trust Conn
-oils will not overlook the importance of
the subject.
In New Business.
Our friend Mr. Thomas Roberts, late
of Roberts & Shi3rratt, has been appoint.
ed Notary Public, and opened ~ an o ffi ce
at No. 126 Wylie, near Waithington,.
street. Besides attending to the duties
of that office, he will devote Much care
and,attention to the delivery and collec
tion of accounts, the collection; of-rents,
attending to insurance, the execution of
deeds ' bonds, mortgages, etc.,' and to all
other business of a legitimate character
which may be entrusted to him. _ The
high reputation which Mr. Roberts en
joys in this community is the best recom
mendation he can have. He is honest,
courteous, fair dealing, and In every way
worthy the confidence and patronage of
the public. •
A slight tire occurred, yesterday even
,
intc, in the barber shop in the basement,
under Hale's clothing store, corner of
Sixth and Penn streets. It was extin
guished, however, without calling theft°
department into service. Some one 00-
'cuffing a room on the third floor, dis
covered the , smoke and on coming down
stairs to see the cause of it, found that it
came from the barber shop in the base
ment. The door was broken open. when
the shop was found" to be full of smoke.
and one of the barbers was sleeping in a
chair. The fire was discovered in a pile
of rubbish in a closet. The application
of a few buckets of water extinguished it.
The Burned
,
The New "York Evening Post, in cam;
milting on the burning of a Mall ear on
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, near
Mifflin, last week says; , '
"This is the fourth Mail that has been
burned on this route within ;two years.
The Department at> Washington will not
filVoint a messenger to accompany the
mail, but the letter'and newspaper bags
are placed in a car at Jertley 'City, which
is sealed up by a postoffice clerk, and the
mail is left to chance." •

A Monster sate.
We learn frc m the following paragraph,
which we clip from the Cincinnati En
quirer, that a monster iron safe is being
manufactured in that city for a Pitts
burgh company :
"Joseph, L. Wall dr. Co., of this city, are
manufacturing a monster safe for a Pitts
burgh Safe Deposit Company. It is to be
eighteen feet high, eighteen feet wide,
and twenty feet long, and will weigh two
hundred and•tiity thousand pounds."
The iron of which this safe is being
made was doubtless manufactured in this
city, add the Company will necessarily
have to pay the freight on two hundred
and fifty thousand pounds of iron from
this city to Cincinnati and return over
and above the cost of material, cost of
manufacture, and the manufacturers'
profit. The-Company purchasing the safe
doubtless have reasons for having it man
ufactured in Cincinnati, and those rea
sons are most probably because they can
get it cheaper than they can here. We
certainly have establishments in this city
where such articles can be and are man
ufactured, and have the facilities for
making as good safes as are made in Cin
cinnati or any other city on the conti
nent, and how a Cincinnati firm can pur
chase the iron in this city, transport it
there, and after working it afford to sell
the manufactured article at a less rate
• than our own manufacturers can do, we
cannot tell. Why is it? „,

America is now clearly ahead of the
world in the manufacture of watches.
For many years Europe retained the su
premacy in this branch of manufacture,
but Yankee brains and ingenuity cannot
lorig be kept in the lower rankik- In the
Waltham watches, sold In this' city by
Messrs. J. R. Reed di Co.', 68 Fifth ave
nue, and J. B. McFadden, Market street,•
the public have time pieces which excel
both in quality and workmanship and
'general perfection the finest imported ar
ticles. The fame of the Waltham watch
es is rapidly growing, and the day is not
far distant when the owner of a foreign
time piece will be ashamed to'own that
he was so ignorant of the merits of home
pr Auctions that he paid more for lured-,
or articles. The stem winding watches
just introduced- are magnificent speci
mens of workmanship, and are but to be
I seen'to be appreciated, and their maim
' facture is only attempted by'thts one
'company. Since the manufacture of
watches was initiated at Walthaixi, the
company have made and sold about
400,000 watches. In every town did vil
lage of the country some wearer 'of the
-Waltham watch . may be found. We
commend them in the highest terms of
-praise to our readers.
