An Insurance Dilliculty.—EL B. Van
Voorhis made information before Alder
man Mcldaaters yesterday against a
ticket agent of the . Pennsylvania Rail
road Company for false pretence. The
prosecutor alleged the defendant had sold
him an accident insurance ticket for one
day, representing it to be good for five
days when it was only good for one day,
thereby cheating him oat of eighty
cents. The accused was arrested and re
funded the amount, when the case was
compromised by the withdrawal of the
b3formation.
Interesting Occasion. The nanny
friends of our genial and accomplished
friend Mr. John F. Gray, Conductor of
the Uniontown Accottimodation train, on
the ConneUsville road, assembled at the
office of the Company at onnellsville,
on Wednesday night, and pebsented inm
with a magnificent gold watch and heavy
gold chain, as a token of regard and
friendship. The present is worth P 75
and was purchased at the well known
time piece and jewelry headquarters of
Messrs. Reed lc Co., No. 88 Fifth
avenue. The speeches on the occasion
were very happy and appropriate. Mr.
Gray is eminently worthy the substantial
token of appreciation and regard
awarded him.
.g. 4 Show Case."—An item in the GA
ZETTE with the above heading was not
only wrong in its wording, but calcu
lated to . do gross injustice to one of our
most honorable and fair dealing citizens,
Mr. John Megraw ' of Ninth (Hand)
" street- It appear that Mr. Renneweg
made information charging Mr. hiegraw
with larceny. The prosecutor alleged
( that in selling out some of his tenant's
_-propertylunder a landlord's warrant, the
officer entrusted with thtisale disposed of
, a show case belonging to him. That was
all that was in the case, and how the Al
derman could have entertained a prose
cution for larceny we are at a loss to dis
• cover. Associating Mr. Megraw's name
with anything dishonest is simply an
, outrage, that gentleman standing as high
for strict integrity as any business man
in the city; and, while his friends could
not desirea correction, we make it, fear
ing those who do not know him may
draw false impressions from our item.
This case was dismissed yesterday, and
;the prosecutor retired to pay the costs.
Robert Grater lodged an information
before Alderman Shore yesterday against
Melinda Lucas, Sarah Jackson and Mary
Ann M ' Kensey, colored denizens of an
establishment in "Hayti," for larceny.
Grater alleged he sought lodgings in the
house a few evenings since, but had not
been there very long until he discovered
the absence of his pocket-book, contain
ing seventeen dollars, which he asserts
was taken by the defendants. The ac
cused were arrested and in default of
bail committed for trial. A cross suit
was entered by Melinda Lucas against
Grater for fornication. He was arrested
and-locked up for trial.
That Larceny of Hides,
We stated yesterday, that John Schell
a prisoner in the Allegheny lock-up, had
confessed to the larcenY of a number of
bides from the tannery of J. C.
Lappe, Seventh. Ward Allegheny., In
his confession, Schell implicated a certain
Michael 'Healey, whom the police secured
yesterday afternoon, at a brewery in the
Third Ward, where he was employed.
The number of hides stolen, was fifteen,
whicliwere altogether, valued at about
one hundred and th iirty-five dollars.
Three of these were found in a stable
owned by Hanley, in the Third Ward.
The others have all been traced to the
different parties to whom they..were sold
and who stated that Haley represented
be had • purchased them. The accused

trial. • -

PresentmentOf the Vrand Jury.:
-IThe Grand Jury, having concluded the
hneiness of the sessions, made the fol
liog presentment to the Court yester
day:
Presentment of the - Grand Jury of the
Commonwealth of Pennay/vania, in and
for the County of Allegheny for March
Sessions, 1869: • .
The Grand Inquest have now been in
session for seventeen days, and in that
time they have acted uponthree hundred
and six bills, some of which they felt it
their duty to ignore and make the prose
caters pay the costs, many of whom are
illy able to bear the burden thus imposed
on them.
The grades of crime that have been be
fore us and passed upon range from that
of murder to that of simple assault. But
the majority of cases .have been of such
a grade as to show that the morals of so.
ciety are at present in a bad condition,
and we feel that the only way to stay
this fearful state of crime is a speedy
trial and a full and prompt punishment
to each and every offen er.
We visited the InsanAsylum at Dix
lnig
-
mont and found everyt pertaining to
that institution carried on •in a proper
manner. The building is kept in good
condition. The inma are well and
carefully attended to, and everything
seemed to us to be done , hat will tend to
relieve the patients front their malady.
E
Upon examination of the reports, we
find that a great many have been perma
nently cured, and many more so far re.
lieved that they have once 'more passed
into the busy walks of life. We cannot
speak t hihly of th officers f the in.
stitution oo
for g the very e
able m o
aner in
which they perform their duties, and we
feel that the support that has been given
to the bi measurehoulll be continued
to it in a that willittlitifY its offi
cers to use further efforts to secure the
ends for which it was established. Be
tore we part we must bear testimony to
the worth of Drs. Reed and Grayson,
the physicians, and Miss M. Kelly, the
matron, for the deep interest and tender
care they manifesttosyard those who
have been pat under their charge.
We also visited the House of Refuge,
and theie found that institution so well
conducted that we can scarce find words
sufficient to give the praise and reward
due to Mr. Avery, the Superintendent,and•
his co-laborers. We found the boys and
girls entrusted to their care under perfect
control, and instead of this control being
gained by punishment it has been gained
by kindness. The work done by boys
in the institution relieves them now of a
vacuum that existed, and each one is now
learning a trade that will fit him for be
coming a useful member of society. The
girls are all instructed in the mysteries
of housekeeping.
To the citizens of the various coun
ties in the district that send parties
to these institutions, the officers
extend a kind and cordial invitation to
visit the institutions and see for them
selves the manner in which they are car
ried on and conducted. A cordial wel
come will be extended to all and every
one, and everything shown, so that all
may be manner in informed and have a knowledge
of the which the business is
done. Aprejudice we , know exists in the
minds of many of our citizens against
blith these Institutions, that they are ex
pensive luxuries. All these feelings we
know would be fully removed if the citi-
zens themselves would visit the institu
tions more frequently.
As to the jail, we found it in as good a
condition as it well could be from its
over-crowded state, and the Warden
deserves greatpraise for the manner in
which -he has the prisoners under his
control, and the cleanly manner in which
he keeps it..
On account of the inclemency of, the ,
weather, we did not visit the Work.
.house. But the President, Geerge R. i
White, Esq., the Secretary, George Al
bree, Esq., and the building Committee,
H. S. Fleming and W. S. Bissell, Eaqrs.,
exhibited to us the records, books, and
papers, and gave us all the informatio n
about the institution that lay in their
power, and upon examination thereof,
we find all matterspertaining thereto are
in a' perfectly satisfactory condition.
The work is progressing rapidly, and a
portion of the building will be so far
completed by the early part of the sum
mer as to be ready for the reception of
inmates. And further, from what we
have seen and learned of the progress of
the work, we feel justified in congratula
ting the citizens of this county in having
secured the services of the energetic and
public spirited gentlemen who have in
hand the management and control of this
great public work.
In justice, we cannot close without re
turning our thanks to J. B. Flack, Esq.,
Assistant District Attorney, for the very
able, prompt and satisfactory manner in
which he has performed all the arduous
duties pertaining to his office, ,and we
consider the county fortunate in the se
lection of so efficient and competent an
officer. Of him and his able and gentle
manly Assistant, I john G. McConnell,
Esq., the Grand July cannot speak in too
high terms of praise. •
ln we would state that
labors of conclutsheion
Grand Juries, the
would be
much lighter if the Commissioners of
Allegheny county would use more dis
cretion in the granting of licenses. It
has come to the knowledge of the Grand
Jury that as many , as ten houses in one
square have been licensed in this city.
This, it appears to us, is entirely too
many. We would recommend that soiree
change be made in the law by which
this great and growing evil may be cor
rected. Respectfully submitted.

House of Refuge, and thanked the jury
for the ptompt and efficient manner in
which they had disposed of the business
brought before them.

NEW WEIGH SCALES RECOMMENDED.
Mr. Comley, from the Ordinance Coln.
mibtee, presented the following report:
Gmbril.EmExr: Your Committee on Or
dinances respectfully report that they
had under consideration the resolution
instructing them to prepare and report
an ordinance providing for the better
regulation of the sale of coal in the city.
After considerable discussion your
Committee reached the- conclusion that
the present ordinance on that subject
was sufficiently specific and practical for
all purposes aimed at by the resolution;
provided the same was enforced. The
opinion of the Committee, however, was
to the effect that the principal reasons or
objection to the present ordinance con
sisted in the limited number of scales to
render the same effective. To obviate
this objection your . Committee report the
following resolutions:
I Resolved, By the Select and Common
Councils of the City .of Allegheny, and
it is hereby enacted by authority of the
same, that the Committee on City Prop-
erty be and they are hereby authorized,
in conjunction with the Controller, to ad
vertise for proposals for erecting scales
at an available point in the vicinity of
Sawmill Run Ferry, for the purpose of
weighing all articles required by ordi
nance to be weighed, and award the con
tract to the lowest and' best bidder.
Resolved, That the same Committee be
and they are hereby authorized to re
move the scales (erected for the Water
Works Department, but not in use,) to
some convenient point in the locality of
Chestnut street and River avenue. •
Mr. McNeil moved to receive the re- ,
port and adopt the accompanying reso
lution. . 3.
After some discussion, Mr. Long
moved to refer the report back to the
Committee, with initructions to inquire
into the possibility of erecting an addi
tional scale near the FederaLstreet sus
pension bridge. Carried. '
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
.Mr. Megraw, from the Committee on
Fire Engines, presented a report of the
lowest bide received- for , the erection of
the Engine Howe in the Sixth ward for
the "Good Will," as follows . ,
Ist. For three-story building complete,
Eugene McGary, contractor, $12,994. .
2d. For three-story building, with en
gine room, bunk room, floor laid on sec
ond story, and stable finished, Hood &
Stewart, contractors, $11,325.
13d. For two-story building, complete,
Murdoch tic Hall, contractors, $10,688.
The report of the Committee was re- i
cal
Mr. •Megraw moved that the bid of
Messrs,
Hood and Stewart be accepted.
Mr. Long opposed the building of
an expensive house. He , thought one
could be built at a much less cost, to
answer the purpcise just as well. He
could see no use for a third story to the
building. If one company built such a
house, all the companies in the city
would desire, and had, a right to such
houses, which would - entall an expense
to the city quite beyond its - means.
Mr. Me raw explained that the design
'of the building was to accommodate all
future wants. The third story could be
converted into a public hall, and'would
prove a source of revenue to b e g
atty.
The additional expense would be e
very
slight .between it and the second story
building. • ,
Mr. Hanna was in favor of building a
good 'Muse fbr every company in. the
city. - '
Mr. °tenet said there was no hall in
In the Fifth or Sixth wards for public)
meetings, and a suitable hall in the lo
cality would easily realize VW° every
year.
Mr. htegraw said the intention of the
Oommitttee waa to . erect.. a building.
which would answer for the fire depart
ment in the the Fifth and Sixth wards
for the future as well as the' present.
Mr. Long said if these expenses con.
tinned an additional tax it would have
to be levied next year, to keep up, the
credit of the city.
Mr. Hastings was in favor of building
a threeostoryhouse. The additional 6X
pollee was very light proportionately.
Mr. Oomley thought the expense of
such a house was too great. A. bowie
might be built to answer the nurpose at
a much. less price, and the city should
should not spend money merely for or.
nametltatdoft.
After some , further-discussion, Mr.
Long moved to amend by accepting the,

What We Eat—Where to Get It.
Stale vegetables and unsound meats
are often the cause of disorders of the
stomach. The half starved or diseased
cattle, sheep or calves, that are sold are
retailed at the shambles. Very few,even
of those long accustomed to going to
market,are judges of what they purchase.
It is, therefore, of the utmost impor
tance to every housekeeper to know of
some butcher, who from habit and prin.
ciple buys none but sound and well fatted
stook, and who never suffers any but the
very best beef, mutton or veal, to appear
at his stands. We have, unfortunately,
in our markets some careless and unscru
pulous butchers, and also many who are
as honest and•consciencions as any mer
chant. In this latter class will be found .
Mr. T. F. Ileilsteln, a gentleman who does
honor to his profession, who thoroughly
understands his business, knows his duty
to customers, and never deceives them.
Go at any time to his stand,No. 39 in the
Pittsburgh, or No. 105 in the Allegheny
market, and oar word for it, you NO ILI find
what you seek in his line, and find it of a
quality equal to any to be fouhd at home
or abroad. This we claim is a matter of
first importance, A secondiu7 considera
tion, not without Interest, is that Mr.
Bellatein is very polite and attentive and
always at his stand. It his , - customers
increase lathe present as in the past year,
he will'be obliged to. employ assistants
to wait upon them. •
Alleged Larceny of Tools.
John T. 'Reises made informatiOn be.
fore Alderman Tailor yesterday, against
Thomas Morgan for larceny. The prase;
cuter alleges that from information re
ceived he believes Morgan to be the dep
redator who abstracted from Shoenber
ger's mills some time since a lot of iron
and steel tools, valued at twenty-five
dollars. A warrant. as issued and the
premises of Morgan searched, when a
lot of tools answering the description of
those stolen were fmnd, which Morgan
alleges, however, he purchased for his
own use. The accused had a hearing in
the case, which resulted itf his commit.
tal to jail for trial in default of bail.
