Vie day being Easter Sunday. At the
Cathedral Pdntifical Sigh Maas was ogle-,
bratee, Bt. Rev. M. Domenec officiating,
and - some forty priests, deacons and
clerks, assisting at the altar. The Cathe- -
dral brass band was .in attendance and
the olwir was unusually strong, Hun-
drede of-Protestants were in attendance, ''
attracted by curiosity to witness the
pomp and spleudorof celebrating. Easter/
in the Catholic ChurCh;
The Attention of the' Allegheny Police
•was - called - to a crowd of loafers who
*irk .10unging - around the Mission
eltuirek.on Liberty street, Fourth ward,
hurt evaning. , No, _arrests: -were . made,
however, &on the fact thet before the
police could jot within reach, the loaf
ere, warned of their approach. bad scat
tered' in all directions. The pleasant
weather of the last few days has developed
the loafing nuisance with
. surprising; ra
pidity In both cities. It seems to be one
of those necessary evils which cannot
be cured, and will have to be endured.
Fast Driving.
William Dann and Andrew Moon,
(not °Meer Moon) were, arrested yester
dayfor furious driving. It appears that
they hired a horse and baggy from Mr.

a funeral, but instead of going to a fu

they took on an over dose of benzine,
and then started out for a drive. When
forested. they were going up Wylie
Area, with the horse under a dead run,
and were plying the whip freely. They
were provided with quarter, in the lock

tions, the following sentences were
piuswd:
Michael Kaufman, tried and convicted
of murder of the second degree for kill
ing Eddie Miller, was called up for sen
tence. Judge Stowe, who pronounced
the sentence. remarked to the prisoner
that it was only through the magnanimity
of the jury that he had not been convicted
of the higher degree of crime; that the
facts in the ease and the circumstances
with which it was surrounded would
have warranted the jury in finding a
verdict of murder of the first degree,
and the Court feels that the severest
penaltyof the law should be imposed.
The prisoner was thed sentenced to pay
the costs of prosecution and to undergo
an imprisonment in the Western Peni

school was dismissed, came out
_ ,
of Xhurch,'sad , c - finding Rev. Mr.
Hughes' carriage • standing in front
of the. , -. door and nobody in it, re
solved to take a ride. They got into the
vehicle and started the horse, but had no
proceeded far when the horse became
unmanageable arid ran against a lamp
post, breaking a wheel of the barouche.
A gentlemen, who was passing, caught
the horse, and' was informed by the
urchins, neither of whom was over
twelve years of age, that' the horse and
barouche belonged to their father, and
that they were taking them home. A.
larger boy then came up and
proposed to drive the horse home,
and the little fellows finding that
they were likely to be caught in the
scrape, jumped out of the vehicle and
ran away, leaving the larger boy in the
lurch. After contemplating the situa
tion for a few momenta he also abandon
ed the "turnout" and reported the case
and what he knew of it to Capt. Graham,
at the watch house. and before he had
finished telling his story the horse and
carriage were• brought to the watch
house by two boys who found them on
the street. A few moments later Mr.
Hughes' son came to the. watch house,
claimed the horse and baroache, and took
them away. The boys will probably be
arrested.
Successfully Worked Up—An Alleged
Robber Arrested—Recovery of Goods.
Saturday afternoon detectives Irwin
and Herron, of Alderman Strain'S police,
arrested Jim Tart.; a well known char
acter, on - suspicion of being engaged , in
the
.robbery of the dry goods store of
Messrs. Bates do Bell, Fifth avenue. The
robbery occurred on the night of Friday,
the 19th inst., when goods to the amount
of several hundred dollars were carried
off. The method by which the thief
gained access to the store was not known
at the time, but the case was placed in
the hands of the detectives named, who
discovered in a few days after
wards a portion of the goods in
the h Inds of some women of
doubtful reputation. Following this
clue they found that the women had pur l
chased the articles from Tartz, whom,'
after a close watch of several days, they
succeeded in arresting in a house in
Morrison's Court, off Virgin alley, at four
o'clock Saturday afternoon. They alb°
found a large portion of the stolen goods
in the house, which they took along with
with the prisoner to the Alderman's
office. They are on the track of the re
mainder and expect to secure everything
in a few day's. Tartz, when taken before
Alderman Strain, waived a hearing and
was committed to jail for trial in default
of bail in the sum of one thousand dol
lars.
An Elegant Pulpit.
Mr. W. W. Wallace has just completed
one of the handsomest pieces , of church
furniture we have ever seen, it is a pulpit
of marble marbleized, and anything more
elegant in appearance or finish it would
indeed be hard to imagine; it is cow
posed of ten or a &glen pieces, each an
imitation of a different kind of stone, verd
antique and serpentine, broccatel, Caft.
fornia, Tennessee and Pennsylvania
black and grey, all so beautiful that ills'
hard to believe that they are merely plain
white marble thus disguised; 'but such a
behef is scarcely necessary for this new
article is very durable and is not at all
likely to unmask for a century to come.
The church, the elegance of which is to
be so much enhanced by this pulpit is
that of the United Brethren - at Johns
town, and we are afraid we must ac
knowledge that all Pittsburgh will not,
when it is gone, contain a piece of church
furniture eanal to it. It is now to be
seen at Mr. Wallace's warehouse on
Liberty street.

The annual contest fol. intellectual and

place 'on the closing day of the session,

opened to a large audience and held
'their attention for almost six hours, with
no apparent show of , weariness. The
award,
which was announced at the
close, assigned everything to the gentle
men who represented the Philos, and
was greeted by the latter with wild. ap
plause. Justice requites us to state, how
ever, that the performances of the Adol

Meeting of the Survey Committee.
.The Survey Committee of City Coun
cils met on Saturday afternoon, the
Chairman, Mr. Chialett, presiding. A
pladfof Liberty avenue was adopted, as
was also one submitted for the straight
ening of Centre avenue. The City Reg
ulator was authorized to at once organize
three corps for surveying during the
present spring and coming summer. A
resolution was adopted instructing the
Regulator to notify by advertisement all
property holders who propose laying out
new streets, lanes or alleys, within city
limits, that unless done so under the ap
proval of the Survey Committee, they
will be made subject to any change that
Committee may decide to be necessary
in the future. The importance of this
resolution - will be folly appreciated by
those who propose buying property front
ing on streets not regularly laid out or
planned by the proper authorities. Other
business of Importance was transacted,
which will probably be reported to Conn
oils to-day.
Fatal Accident.
An accident, occurred at "Eliza" Fur
nace, Laughlin's station, on the Connells
viUe railway, about four o'clock r. at. on
Saturday, resulting in the'death of John
Brady; an - employeAt the furnace. He
had"been superintending the switching
off of some Ume cars, which had been at
tached to the train. After the cars' bad
been detached, Brady was following them
up, when the train from which they had
been uncoupled, came up ,behind, and
struck him: He fell across the track and
the wheels pulled over him, cutting off
both his legs and otherwise mangling him.
He was remoyed to his boarding house,
near the furnace, where he expired soon
after midnight.
Coroner Clawson held an Inquest on the
body, Saturday evening, a verdict of
accidental death was rendered.
Deceased was about twenty-four years
of age and unmarried. He haa an uncle
living in this city. His parents are In
Ireland.
The Elevator Again,
It has been so long since we have
heard of an outrage at the Elevator that
we were led to believe that the vigilance
of the present police force and the speedy
and severe punishment imposed .upon
offenders by the mayor, had deterred the
“roughs" who frequent that locality from
matting any further demonstration, but
an incident which occurred on Saturday
evening about seven O'ciciek indicatet
otherwise. At the time stated a genii&
man and his wife were going up Watthh.
ington street, and while crossing the
bridge over the railroad a ruffian stepped
up and struck the gentlinum on the bead
with a atone slung iihot and knocked
him down, where he lay insensible for
some time. The ladyealled for helpand
the villain ran away. -
The number pf outrages committed in
that locality would justify the mayor in
placing an officer at that point.
Killed eir , the Railroad.
A telegram was received yesterday by
Dorrington, of the Panhandle Rail
road,,. from D. Brock, at Bteulamville,
requesting him to send the Coroner to
Camp Hill Coal Siding , , near Mansfield,
to hold an inquest on a mane who was
, killed at that point- by a coal train, Sat.
urday night. No names or any particu
lara of the accident are given. The dis
patch was not receive 4 by the Coroner
until after the last train had departed,
and he Will hold .the inquest this morn
ing.
; Raid en a Disorderly Reuse.
Saturday evening between nine and
ten o'clock the Allegheny police made a
raid on a disorderly house, No. 240 Fed
eral street, Third ward, succeeding in
capturing the entire party of inmates,
five men and three women, and convey
ing them to the lockup. The proprietor
of the establishment, Harry Hatch, and
his wife, were committed for trial, in the
sum of $5OO, on a charge of maintaining
a disorderly house. Two of the men
paid fines of ten dollars each. The other
two men and two women were sent to Jail.
The information upon which the arrest
was made, was lodged before the mayor
by James Porter (colored), residing in
the immediate vicinity. The house has
been the source of considerable annoy
panasetc". to the neighborhood for some time
To be. Repaired.
The Directors of the St. Clair street
Suspension Bridge design making extern
sivh repairs and improvements in that
structure during the coming season.
Among the most noticeable will be the
laying of an entire new floor on the cart
way, the.old one having almost worn
through. - There is some talk of laying
the Nicolson,as the new floor, but there
is fear that tis glad of pavement would
hot be practicable, owing to the spring
ing of the bridge between the piers,
when travel is heavy. The conternplii4
ted changes in the toll houses, of which
we have spoken heretofore, will be made
at the same time the new floor is laid.
It is designed to commence the work
next' month and finish it as rapidly as
possible.

in the second story of the building, and
while passing across the floor he stum- .
bled And fell through an open hatchway,
striking on his head on the first floor.
The distance he fell was about fourteen
feet, and death resulted almost immedi
ately. Coroner Clawson was sum
rimed and held an inquest, when the
