Another Confidence Game
-- • .
From a transaction which occurred
yesterday, it is quite certain that the in
' famous scamps who make their living by
practicing sharp games on unsuspecting
strangers, commonly called ' , confidence
operators," have not all left our city, but
on the contrary are still operating here,
and apparently doing a good business.
Yesterday evening, two men whose
names we could not learn, arrived in this
city from Scotland, and shortly after
ward went to the Allegheny depot, where
they met two men who succeeded in
"doing" them to the amount of £l2 or
i
la
1360. T sharpers pretended to be con
necte Ith the Padilla Railroad, and said
they re in search of hands. The
Scotch u were Civil Engineers and a
contra Was soon entered into between
the par le , lay which it appears the En
gineers we i 3 to advance NO to defray
their eapen ato their place 'of destina
tion. The oney was paid over and the
parties repaired to the Merchants' Hotel,
to complete their arrangements, and on
arriving there, the Scotchmen were told
to watt at thedoor until the egentsshould
return. They entered the hotel but failed
to return, and the Scotch Engineers were
left standing at the door minuss6o. The
circumstances of the case were made
known at•the Mayor's office, and officers
McCready and Dressler are after the
sharpers but have not yet succeeded in
capturing them.
An Importunate !Suitor.
Alderman McMasters, yesterday morn
ing, received a visit from an elderly lady,
a resident of Braddock's Fields, who gave
her name as Miss Ann Williams. The
purpose of Miss Williams' visit was soon
made clear to the apprehension of the
attentive official. She had unfortunately
become the object of tho intense admira
tion of John Montaine, a • youthful strip
ling and neighbor ' aged about eighteen
years. Having passed through fifty-six
summers, with a heart unscathed, and
free, she refused the attentions of
the youthful John, and bade him seek
elsewhere for an object of affection.
John, however, was not to be dismissed
In this manner. Persistently day after
day he renewed his attentions, and final
ly became to exceedingly earnest as to
declare that the name of Williams would
be changed to Montaine, or Montaine
and Williams would igidinfils off this
mortal coil" by means of a huge 'revol
ver which he • had procured for
the purpose. Fearing this dire threat
might be carried into execution,
the lady at once hurried away to seek
the protection of the law. The sympa
thetic official who was made acquainted
with this romantic. history, ad v ised the
importuned .fair ens' to seek redress at
hands: of an Official in her, immediate
neighborhood in order that a more stria
watch might.hejopt on the Movement.
of the impoiriunate suitor., Acting upon
this advice, she" departed to carry it into
execution. ,

The Butgese—Spotted Fever—Female
Preaching, Ace.
tCorresuondence of the Pittsburgh Gazotte.l
The State Legislature has clothed our
Burgess with the power of a Justice of
the Peace. This Is, we think, tuv it should
be. It will enable him to be a terror to
evil doers.
There was a case of spotted fever just
outside of town last week. The victim
was a lady fifty-eight years old, the wife
of Wm. Shaffer. It did its work so rap
idly that medical was of no avail, though
it was tried.
We nad the privilege of hearing a wo
man preach, a few days since, in this
place. She belongs to the Society of Or
thodox Friends. She preached good doc
trine and gave wholesome advice. Took
no text, nor was there any singing. No
doubt abe lan good woman.
The roads in the country around here
are very muddy.
The Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago
R. R. Co. are about to erect a • new depot
at the south end of the town.
Quite a number of the weddingsin this
place during the last few months have
taken place on the Sabbath day.
The first of April created quite a stir
among the people here. They .moved in
all directions. We are enjoying a great
calm now.
Pelson for Dogs, Again.
The Immortal "J. N." has a• com
panion in the mad dog editor and poison
keeper of the ./bat. The latter assumes
the hydrophobia pressure,and endeavors
to lift the veil which hides so much mis
ery and suffering held in reserve for
people who will not heed, his voice and
scatter, poisoned lozenges on the pave
ments or.toss them into. stores and cel
lars where dogs are kept. "J. N."
travels through the country elucidating
his peculiar doctrines; the other fellow
takes shorter Journeys, traveling only
away from his own good sense and rea
son to press his ideas. The Insanity in*
each case is of the same type; dnlY 5.J.. N." once had the credit of posses si n g a
little wisdom, and there is hope enter
tained, for his recovery; but, unfortu
nately,his imitator has no clear record in
that direction; and hb3 most intimate so
,quaintances despair of his ultimAte im
provement until every dog in christen
dom be poisoned—and that wilt ; : after
he is dead.

NEW BRIGHTON.
NEW BatomioN, April 5,1563
First Annual Report of the ' Pittsburgh
Dome for Destitute Women, April Ist,
1869.
During the winter of 1888, at the weekly
meetings of the managers of the Wo
metes Christian Association, facts of the
most startling nature were constantly
brought before them by the Visitors,
which seemed to demand that immediate
measures should be taken for the estab
lishment of a refuge for distressed and
unfortunate women.
Cases were reported of young women
of unblemished character, induced by
reports of high wages given in the city,
and ignorant of the difficulties before
them, who had come to seek employ
ment, finding themselvesat the approach
of night without home or friend, and un
able to , gain admission to a reputable
lodging place. During the intensely
cold weather of January, some such
were compelled to ask permission of the
Mayor of Allegheny to spend the night
in the lock-up, to be sent the next day to
the county jail, as the only place of refuge
open to them until the inclement weather
had passed.
• Other cases which excited deep com
miseration, were those of erring women
who earnestly desired to abandon the
paths of vice, but were surrounded by
circumstances which seemed to render
the first steps to reformation well nigh
impossible. Others were found in the
prisons, sentenced for some first me,
sincerely repentant and full of earnest
resolves en good conduct in future, yet
doomed by a prison reputation to sink to
the lowest depths of infamy, unless some
temporary home could be given on their
release, and some kindly hand extended
to aid and guide them in the effort to re
trieve the past in a better life.
The managers resolved, unanimously,
to procure a small house and fit it up as
a temporary refuge for any women in
distress. After much =alone but fruit
less effort to rent a building suitable for
our purpose, it was decided best to pur
chase one.
The brick building No. 95, Chatham
street, containing ten rooms, was offered
for the sum of $5,000, and accepted, one
thousand to be paid down, and the bal
ance in three annual payments, and of
this we took possession on the Ist day of
April 1868.
The premises were much out of repair,
but every one to whom we applied for
assistance, gave it so cheerfully and
heartily that we soon had the satisfaction
I of seeing the wood work repaired and
painted, the walls newly papered, the
front windows filled with enamelled glass
and others repaired, stoves freely given
and set up, and the yard graveled and re
paved with brick.
A matron had already been engaged
and the work of furnishing the house .
commenced.
The managers were cheered in their
work by the daily gift of beds, bedsteads,
comforts, chairs, tables and,furniture for
every part of the house, and by thegen
erons response of the merchants to their
appeal for food, clothing and fuel. The
names of many of the donors cannot ap
pear in the list, for the reason that their
gifts -were sent anonymously, but all
were veinal*, and for the first six
months very few articles were required
to be purchased.
A charter was promptly enacted by the
Legislature of the State, granting all the
powers needed for the proper manage
ment of the institution and its inmates,
and exempting the , property from taxa
tion. The city authorities also kindly
remitted the water tax.
An insurance of $2,500 has been taken
upon the building.
The Home was opened for the recep
tion of women needing its shelter—not
only the merely unfortunate and dis
tressed, but also the criminal and fallen
who desired to reform—the intention be
ing to separate them as far as circum
stances would permit, and always at
night.
The Board of Managers felt, from the
first, that the difficult part of their duty .
would he to control the undisciplined
fallen, and guide them into the paths of
morality and virtue. It was an entirely
new work to all, and they shrank from
it; not from any doubt as to the duty, but
from a sense of their own insufllciencV
for its performance. But they felt that
the Saviour had set them an example In
the kind and loving words he spoke to
thewomen in the Temple, to the woman
at the well of Samaria, and to Mary
Magdalen. Looking to Him, then, as
their great example, their strength in
weakness, their. Almighty . helper, they
took courage and entered upon their
labors with many prayers.
Their prayers for guidance seemed re
markably answered in the visit of Miss
Goulden, matron of the Temporary Asy
lum for discharged female prisoners, at
Dedham, near Boston. Miss Goulden
had been for three years the ruling spirit
at Dedham, and to her judicious chris
tian control its managers attribute much
of the success of that institution. From
her we gained valuable information, and
her advice and assistance greatly aided
us in framing judicious - rules for our.
solves, as well as for the Home and those
we desired to benefit. A year's experi
ence has Impressed uno,. u us the-advant
age of a right beginning.
The Home is in charge of at matron
and an assistant, directed by the Board
of Managers, two of whom are appointed
to visit during each month. They are re
quired to be at the house not less than
twice in each week, and oftener if pos
sible. It is the duty of the matron to in
struct the inmates in all kinds of domes
tic labor, so as the better to fit them for
earning an honest living. All who are
not prevented by sickness are required
to work, and for their encouragement
half the proceeds of their labor is given
to them. The matron is also directed to
teach them to read and write.
Religious services are conducted every
Sunday afternoon in the house by cler
gymen of the city. A prayer meeting is
hold every Tuesday afternoon by the
managers, and the duties of each day are
begun and closed with family prayer. A
meeting for Bible instruction has been
held weekly until last month, when the
excellent teacher was obliged to give it
rip. Another has since taken her place.
The number :of persons received dur
ing the year was 120, two of whom were
colored. Of those, seventy were cases of
AdJutressand destitution, not criminality.
Thirty-Sit came from the county prison,
and three from the Penitentiary. Thirty
six had led abandoned lives, twenty
three :were Roman .Catholics, forty.two
claimed to have received' good ins:ruc
tion in youth, eight attributed their fall
to misfortunes, five were sent 'to the Ho
meopathic Hospital, eleven to the Poor
Farm, three children to the Home for the
Friendless, one to the Roman Catholic
Orphan Asylum and one to the Mercy
Hospital. Twenty-three children were
received in all.
Number of persons sent to their Mend* 7
received temporary theiter. 96
" sent to service in families.. 2a
dismissed as uncontrollable 7
left of their own accord.... 2.5
" Physician's visits 59
Eleven of the erring who , have been
under our care have reformed and are
doing well thus far.
In December of last year a Fair in aid
of the Home was held In City Hall,
which was generously patronized. Its
proceeds enabled the Managers to antic
ipate the final payment • and receive a
deed for the house.
Thd balance of the Fair hands, amount
ing to $5,000, is invested to aid in meet-
ing the current expense& The law bu&
mess of the Zonis has been transacted
by Mr. J. E. Baldwin, and Dr. John
Wishart has been the medical attendant.
For the gratuitous services of these gen=
tlemen the Board tender their thanks,
as well as to the many other friends of
the institution, for whose sympathy and
generosity we have so much reason to be
grateful.
•
In reviewing the events of the year,
the Board feel that the good - which has
been accomplished far more than com
pensates for the labor and discourage
ments encountered. All who have en
gaged faithfully In the work feel this,
and we enter upon a new year in prayer
ful confidence and hope, assured that
the Divine 'blessing will follow, and in
due time we shall "reap if we faint not."

The:Maininoth Cave.
.
Extract from a Privcite Letter.
* **!. We groped about for
hours in this Wonderful place. I never
saw anything like it. The freaks of nature
displayed here aro very strange, and
strike the beholder with awe. But the
air in some parts of the cave is close and
stifling, and when we came out I found
myself saddled- with a terrible fever,
which entirely postrated me. The phy
sician had never seen a &so like it before,
and nvremedy he prescribed seemed to
do the least good. My life was despaired
of. Mrs. Wilsbn, with whom I was re
siding, had in the house a bottle of
PLANTATION BITTERS, and she insisted
that I sh9uld tr_y it, for she said she
knew it to be a certain cure in all cases
of fever, debility, ague, dyspepsia, d:c.
I had but littlelaith, but finally consent
ed to try it as a last resort. In less than
three hours after the first dose my fever
left me: in two days I was sitting up,
and before Saturday night I was as well
as ever. I tell you all this that you may
know how to abt in any case of fever, or
any similar disease. I firmly believe the
PLANTATION BIT TERS ‘ saved my life.

you about the Cave in detail. A. .r. r.
