• Yesterday after4Oon abont-fliteen min-
Ides to twoo'Cle•elt, an inm ate of tbe Al
,
legbeny City Home name to her death in
the following manner: She had been at
dinner a short time before, and when
through, tilting advantage of the ab.
same of the Superintendent in an
other part of the building, had
*lipped out and wandered off from
the premises. By some means she
reached the track of the Western Penn'a.
Railroad, and started to walk along it to
ward the city. She had proceeded about
half a mile when just at the bend, oppo
site the Willow tiroVe Brewery, nearly
midway between Herr's and Bennett
stations, the church train, coming in an
opposite direction, came in sight. The
engineer noticed her walking on the
track, and immediately whistled down
brakes,but the train could not be checked
up in time. Bonze persons in the vicinity
at Tire time say she stepped off the
track to the side, but the space
between the rails and the fence
at that point was too narrow.
to allow the train to pass without strik
ing her, and she was knocked down.
The train at the time was going at the
usual rate of speed. It was stopped' as
seen as possible and Dr. John Hamilton,
.physician for the Home, happening to
be on board, had tne woman conveyed
back to the institution. W hen picked
rap she was still breathing but died at the
Home in about three-quarters of an hour
after the accident. She had received a
severe blow in the side of the head near
the temple, a deep gash across her' face,
' and was atso otherwise severely bruised
on various parts of her body. ; •
The name of the unfortunate vicsim
was Elizabeth Brettenbraugh. She
•was deaf and dumb , and had been In the
Home about Seventeen years. Being of
a quiet and, apparently trustworthy dis
posltion, she had been allowed a little
more freedom than most of the inmates,
bat had never been allowed to leave the
premises unaccompanied by an attend
ant, except as in the present case, when
she managed, by strategy, to get away.
Coroner Ciawson has been notified and
will hold an inquest to-day.
Cnmmittee Meeting,.
The COmmittee on Appeals from City
Assessment met Saturday morning in
the committee rooms, City Building,
and organized by'electing Mr. F. P. Case,
of the Sixth ward, Chairman. •
The first business transacted by the
Committee was the matter of the assess
ments for the construction of the Milten
berger street sewer. A remonstrance
against the assessment was presented,
and Mr. Hartman, one of the signers, by
request of the Committee, made a state
ment in regard to the matter. It ap
pears that the sewer was constructed as
an experiment, the sewer pipe being
used instead of brick, and that - there was
no advertisement for proposals, and,
consequently, no el,ntract awarded
to the lowest and beat bidder in
accordance with thelaw relating thereto.
Mr. 4 Hartman farther alleges that it is
not n account of these facts alone that
the citizens object to paying the amount,
but !that the amount charged
for con
struCting the sewer is too large; that had
it been properly advertised and bids re
ceived, that the work might have been
done for" a great deal leas money.
A further hearing of the matter was
postponed until Tuesday evening, the
27th inst., when all persons interested
are invited to be present at the meeting
of the committee.
The committee then•adjourned.
Youthful Criminals.
On Saturday morning the 'Allegheny
•police arrested seven boys, the eldest of
whom was not twelve years of age,
charged' with stealing a quantity of gro
ceries from a storeroom connected with
the premises of Mr. Bernard Gray, in
the Second ward. The goods had been
stored in the place since the first of the
pt esent month, by the owner, who was
waiting the completion of a new store
room. in which he intended starting in
the grocery business. The boys, it seems
by some means became aware of the pres
ence of the goods, and one • afternoon
brote into the room and carried off about
fifty dollars' worth. When arrested they
confessed the theft, and accompanied the
owner to the place where the greater
portion of the spoils had been secreted.
They seem to have went leisurely about
the business, and were evidently adepts
in crime, in a much greater degree than
their years would indicate. • Ow
ing to their extreme youth, however,
their victim refused to prosecute, and
after a sivere reprimand from the Mayor,
they were set free, We understand this
is the second affair of the kind in which ,
three of them have been enraged. Such
boys certainly should not be allowed to
run wild. The House of Refuge is the
proper home for them, and there they
should undoubtedly 'have 1;19011 sent.
Yesterday evening about eight o'clock
an accident occurred, on Wood street, of
a very serious nature, which, fortunate
ly, was not attended with very
serious results. A gentleman, whose
name we did not learn, was driving douria
the street in a light one-horse buggy oc
cupied by his wife and little daughter,
and when opposite the American Ex
press office a wagon, which was passing
in the opposite direction at a rapid; rate
of speed, collided with the buggy, , com
pletely demolishing the two wheels next
to the wagon and capsizing the buggy.
The occupants were thrown ont,'and the
lady slightly bruised about the face and
on one arm, and the little girl, was also
slightly injured, but neither of them se
riously. The gentleman escaped un
harmed. The lady and her little daughter,
were carried into the American. Express
office terribly frightened, but after user
taming that no serious damage was done
other than WI) breaking'of the :buggy,
their fears subsided and they were taken
home. .
More Aecommodat!ons Wanted.
Yesterday morning, at the First Pres-
I hyterian Church, the pulpit was occupied
by the pastor Rev. Soovel, who deliv
ered a forcible sermon advocating re 7
neared interest in the Sunday School
cause in general, and so tar as his con
gregation are concerned, especially. He
stated that the First Presbyterian Church
had the very worst accommodations for
prdperiy conducted Sabbath schocil in
the city, and hoped the .members would
take prompt action to erect a building
for that and - lecture purposes. , He con
cluded by announcing that by permission
of the Session and Truatees, he would
call a meeting of the congregation to be
held at the church to.night, when, it is
hoped, there ,will' be very full attend
ance. With so much wealth embraced
in that orm, titunity of ebristisna,:; we
shall be surprised-0 all the,motley re-
quired , for so goodand worthy an object
be not at once subscribed to-night,

The report of, Health Officer Gray for.
the past month, was read. The number
of nuisances of all kinds abated and in
process of abatement were twenty-seven,
and the number of persons notified in ro

Sixty permits were granted ,

same time was $14,65, leaving a balance
of $15,35.
During the month there was one case
of small pox reported and the man sent
to the Marine Hospital.
I have entered before Alderman Mor
•row nine snits, for cleaning ,cess pools
without permits from this office.
I would respectfully call your atten
tion to the great necessity of some imme
diate action being taken in - regard to
having a public peat house or some place
where cases of contagious diseases can
bo sent to and eared for. Heretofore
such cases have been sent to either the
Pittsburgh Infirmary or to the Mercy
Hospital. But lately both these institu
tions have positively refused to admit
any such cases coming from the Board of
Health. The necessity of immediate ac
tion in the matter will Income apparent
to you when you take into consideration
the possibility of some contagious dis
ease breaking out at any time, and as the
matter- stands at present we have no
means whereby it could be cared for.

The. Evils of Intemperance.
An incident occurred yesterday, which
although rather of an unttsual character
is still one of the legitimate consequen
ces of intemperance, and was to us a
stronger argument againalhe sale and
use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage,
than ever Gough presented in any of his
able and forcible temperanCe lectures.
A middle aged woman, of rather re.
'speaitable appearan Cewho says she resides .
at Braddacks Fiel ds, came to the city
Saturday acompanied by her daughter,
a bright, intelligent, interesting little girl
of seven years, with golden hair and blue
eyes. Where they -stopped over night,
we were unable to learn, but yesterday
morning she was arrested in a beastly
state of intoxication and taken to the
lock-up, where she' was placed in a cell
and her Child with her. The
unfortunate woman was too drunk
to know what she was doing
or saying, and would - occasionally
'indulge in the'use of profane langMtge,
and the little child would mildly reprove
her, saying "mother, please don'tawear.?'
The child la 'possessed of. more than or
dinary intelligence, and has apparently
'been properly raisedi-notwithstanding
her mother's rmfortunate condition. She
plead with every one passing the cell to
take her mother cdit, saying that it. was
Sunday and she wanted to go to Sunday
school; that she had pat her name down
in the book and prombnd her teacher to
come every Sunday. .

The Suspension of George H. Stuart. I
We find the following in Saturday's"
Philadelphia Press:
The Reformed Prethytery of Philadel
phia having refused to recognize the sus
pension of George H. Stuart, Esq.. an
attempt was made to induce the Second
Reformed Presbyterian Congregation to
withdraw from the' jurisdiction of the
presbytery, and to decline its authority.
The following resolutions favoring this
step, proposed by Alex. Kerr, Esq., at a
meeting of the congregation, held on
Thursday evenin the 22d inst., were
'voted down witho u t a dissenting' voice:
wunnEas, The Reformed Presbytery
of Philadelphia did, on the 12th day of
June 1868, suspend presbyterial rela
tions.with the . General Synod of the Re
formed Presbyterian Church of North
America; and whereas, the undersigned
members of the Second Presbyterian
Chuh desire to maintain their relations
and be n i subordination to the supreme
judicatory in the Lord; therefore
Resolved, That we, theundersikned,
hereby respectfully decline-the authority
and Jurisdiction of the aforesaid presby-
tery.
_Resolved. That we will appoint Ittesars.
Joseph McKendrick and John Kemps to
represent na in the General Synod, at its
first meeting, to be held in Cedarville,
May 19, 1869. _
Resolved, That J. MeKendrick and
John Kemps gibeointed to lay this
this paper bef Philadelphia Prea•
bytery, at its semi-annual meeting, to he
held in May.
The foliuwing resolutions, proposed by
David Carrick, Esq., were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The Reformed Presbytery
of Philtidelphia has declared that it re
mains in the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, maintaining her organization,
and endeavoring to develop and apply
her principles in their proper application
to the Age and country in which we live;
therefote,
Resolved, That for the present this
congregation adheres.to said Presbytery,
and that we approve of our pastor'sc
course in voting against the suspension
of Mr. George H. Stuart, at the last meet
ing of General Synod.
Resolved, That this congregation dis
approve of the action of a majority of
session in refusing to allow Revs. bra.
Wylie and McAuley to assist our pastor
in dispensing the sacrament of the Lord's
Supper; and thereby depriving us of the
enjoyment of this ordinance of the House
of God. .
The congregation is under the pastoral',

_a
large number of prominent old na. We

earnest desire to have the recipient feel
that his enterprise; . care and diligence
have not been uappreciated in thls com

than to, pack the house to its fullest ca

to the genuine pleasure and enjeyment
of all who attend. The box office will

There is one XeldUre of Um stoek which.
Messrs; Bates et Belthave' now en hand;
at their atom, 21FIfth avenue, thatmerlUi
'special attention. and isgenerally and de
servedly admired by the ladies. We re
fer to the large and.varied assortment of
black talk, poplin, linen and alpaca walk
ing dresses, and we feel warranted in
stating that it is one of the most attractive
ever exhibited in this city. It comprises ,
ready made suits in all the late French
styles,and designs which are, perhaps,
far superior to any we can produce in -
Pittsburgh, in regard-to accuracy of fit
and general gracefulness. The silks are
very beautifill, and with their different
shapM and trimmings, present a charm
ing variety to the purchaser. The poplin
snits represent every shade of color, and
are all neat and tasteful. They range in
price: from $22,00 upwards and are in
greatdemand. In a notice, . yesterday, _
we referred to the handsome linen sea
side suits, and to-day we have only to
repeat that nothing at once so cheap and
ao well adapted to summer wear has been
offered here for many seasons. They are
complete in every respect, and yet sell
so low as $lB,OO. In the line of alpsem
there is a display of almost equally at
tractive suits. Of the various imported
goods we have mentioned, Messrs. Bates
& Bell have large assortments. ready
made.up and fit for immediate ' wear.
They represent all that is fashionable or
fresh in Paris or lthe East, and are finer
than can be produced here. Those, how
ever, who desire to leave orders for suits
will have a choice and extensive lot of
fabrics to select from and some of our
best home modistes who are in the ser
vim of the firm to prepare them. We
will close by noting that in the °leak
room, yesterday, we were shown no less
than thirty different styles of black silk
mantles, cloaks and sacques, each one ap•
parently outstripping the others In" ele
gance and richness,
as they were sue
nessively exhibited. They ranged in
pride from $lO,OO to Vg5,00, and are chiefly
imported from the leading/ European
houses. There is one new
~style among
them, the sleveless basque, whi ch is par
ticularly noticeable for , its novAlty and
beauty. Ladies know where to go for
goods of this character.
