Louis Lase, the I,ll,Are•Polsoner.
To-morrow; at noon,: Louis Lane, the
murderer of his wife by the administra
tion of arsenic in repeated doses, will die
on.the scaffold in the yard attaohedto
the jail. We visited him yesterday,-
company with several other representa
tives' of the press, for the purpose of
holding a final interview with the unfor
tunate man. He was more than usually
reticent, but declared himself ready to
meet his fate. All efforts to draw fro m
him some account of his life were futile,
as he would not enter into conversation.
He was asked if he had any parting
words to say to the people through the
press of the city, and quickly replied, "I
have none. They can't do me any
or any harm, and .I have said all I' good
m
going to say. I have said enough about
my case already, for I am to hang for it,
and that's all." In response to the asser
tion that he had had fair:trials, the pris
oner bitterly and sarcastically remarked
that he had anything but fair trials, He
knew his attorneys had done all they
could for him, but he had'ut 'received a
fair .chance. He said he was Well cared
for and comfortable, and that he was ex
pecting his son every moment to arrive
from Cleveland. •
The prisoner la in. much better condi
tion now than he has been for. several
weeks pad. He was somewhat depres
sed In spirits yesterday, owing , to • the
non-arrival of his favorite son and to the
near approach of his doom. He impres
ses us very much as a wicked, bad man,
who has liVeda lif& fall of sin ruid'mis
ery. He has just enough intelligence to
conceive, carry out Ind conceal a crime.
The entire absence of moral courage in
his character has -prevented him from
ever openly committing any of the sins
laid to his charge. He can neither read
norwrite and Is more canning than In
tellectual. There is mischief in his small,
restless, bright eyes which can never be
caught meeting those directed towards.
them, and his'whole countenance, when
closely - studied, presents no redeeming
feature. If permitted to live' we might,
safely venture a policy of twenty years
on.his life i' es: he is active, wiry and
Well preserved. He is daily attended by
Kay, Father Kerr and the Sisters of
Mercy. - He expresses sincere belief in
the Catholic faith and has been admitted
into full communion, having satisfied his
spiritual adviser that his contrition is
hearty artdrlincere. He will NI executed
about half-past twelve o'clock to-mor
row, in the 'presence of not more than
fifty- witnesses, - which will Include the
Sheriffs' jury and representatives of the
press. The scaffold will be put 'up to
night, and will-cover the same spot
as that occnpled b i the old one fr om
•
Which ; so' many m isg uided human be
inga were launched in o eternity.
It is a matter of impossibility to fur
nish any precise or extended history of
the life of-the prisoner i as he is friendless
heee,'andunwilling to Impart any good
or bad information about himself. We
believe he_ was born between fifty and
sixty years ago, in Waterford, London
county, Virginia. He left there in 1848,
and came to Wellsburg, 'Subsequently he
and.
In Wheeling, and then in
Warrington,: Pennsylvania. He has been
marled six times, and five of his wives
are dead, all but one• having died under
suspicions circumstances, and three •of
them under circumstances that were ex
ceedingly so. For the murder of his
sixth wife he is to suffer, death to-mor
row. The fifth one escaped, and suc
ceeded in sending her hwidand to. the •
Penitentiary for six years. She is now
living in Brownsville; is in good health,
and will doubtless live to hear of her
wouldbe widower's death. No doubt can
be entertained of his guilt-in the crime
for which the law inexorably demands
his blood. In Friday morning's paper
we will present the full particulars of
the last chapter In the life of Louis Lane.
The Filth Avenue Bank or Pittsburgh.
Last night, in the hall at the corner of
Pride street and Fifth avenue, agreeably
to notice, a large number of prominent
gentlemen residing and doing business

ides.- The meeting organized by calling

ment, was read article by article and
needful amendments " admitted, after
which it was adopted as a whole. The
subscription book to the capital stock
was opened and two hundred and eighty
four shares were at once subscribed, the
takers being principally bualness men of

hundred dollars, par value, each. Ten

In presenting this final account of our
work, it seems laht just to the Young
Men's Christian Association, the Aquilla
and Priscilla Society, the Episcopal
Church Guild, and a nUmber of citizens
who have given largely, of their time and.
means to aid ns, that a brief history of
our labors should ecoompany the forego
ing statement: This Committee was ap
pointed at a public meeting held in the
reoms'of. the ; Young Men's Chrlitian As .
saciation on the afternoon of November
9th, 1867. Measures were taken at once
to collect thuds in aid of the-. sufferers,
and this Committee, provided with
the means for supplying -immediate
relief, visited the scene of . the
disaster and . entered upon the
discharge of their duties. . Although
under the guidanceof 'persons connected
with the mill, scarcely onehalf the par
tici§ injured were discovered the first
day. The employees of Messrs. geese,
Graff it Dull were so widely scattered
throughout the Fifth and Ninth wade, .
the boroughs. of Lawrenceville, Etna,
Sharpsburg and Duquesne, that neazly
a week elapsed before we could make
out a Complete roll of those needingaid.
As soon as the dead wereAecently buried
out of sight, and the most pressing wants
of the injured supplied, the manner and
amount of regular aid which should lb°
rendered in all cases, engaged our care
ful. attention.
Messrs. H. A. S. Dudley, Superintend
ent of the Take Superior Copper Works.
Colonel Joseph Kaye, Foreman at . he
Fort Pit Foundry, and John H. MeEl y,
Of the Iron City Works, presented he
plan - which was adopted, and adhered, to ,
throughout the year, save in a few excep
tional
tional cases.
As the aid bestowed by the publicmas
mostly in Cash, the sane named Com
mittee recommended distribntions in
money, and in the' following'rnanner:
Weekly benefit to esch wounded man. 55 a)
West tv benefit to wile of wounded man fu
Weekly benefit to children 10 T. arc of age.... 260
Weekly benefit to children under 10 and
over 5 years of age 2 00
Weekly benefit to children under 5 1 00
Weekly benefit to widow 5 00
Expectional case arose now and then,
requiring special adjustment, bat the
plan, as a- whole, commended itself to
the entire committee, and was followed
with' but rare deviations until the funds
were exhausted.
The settlenient of funeral expenses was
intruated to a sub-committee who called
upon each of the undertakers in person,
and save in one instant they were kindly
received and very liberal deductions
made by them in the bills as rendered.
They will accept our sincere • thanks for
their generous course.
The adjustment of bills,for medical at
tendance, again called to our aid the
rare judgment and ready kindness of
Messrs. Dudley, McElroy and Kaye.
Much time and labor were spent hi the
endeavor to so eyetematize the rate of
charges, as not to work absolute injus
tice to.any, of the attending physicians.
They were then severally visited by Mr.
Dudley, and true to the instincts and
practice of a profession that calla forth
more of generous self-sacrifice than any
other, they all, without exception, either
reduced their compensation to minimum
rates or gave generous donationain cash,
as equivalent. Thee chairman of this
committee is cognizant of a large amount
of gratuitous service from various phy
sicians,and he would add his-hearty
thanks to them for frequent assistance in
a field of labor not entirely familiar to
him at the outset.
Four of the eleven married men who
were killed left homesteads, upon which
there were mortgage encumbrances
varying from ;100 to $425. After much
discussion and a careful examination of
each case it was thought beet to give the
widowe free homes, and the mortgages
were accordingly paid.
In the repo rt of the President of the
Young .Men 's Christian Association, at
its annual. meeting In November last ,
following statement was made: Subscrl:
bers to this fund whose aggregate sub
scriptions Reached the sum of 10,500, au
thorized the Board of Directors, in
writing, to use some part of their sub
soriptions for other cases of distress occa
sioned by accident, if they should
deem it proper. Three hundred and
twenty dollars have been thus used,
strictly, we believe, in accordance with
the spirit in which the subscriptions
were given. No funds since , that time
have been appropriated..
The.
The. Committee take. pleasure' in ac
knowledging their indebtedness to the
managers of the Catholic Orphan Asy
lum-1u Allegheny, and to the , Sisters at
the St..Pranciacus Hospital at Lawrence
ville, for valuable aid their work.
The time and! 'the- physical- strength of
the Chairman, were, as was to be expect
ed, largely drawn upon during the first
sic Monthe, , ,but the modest thankful
ness of some of thelauffet ors, ' ma their
evident desire to render hie labors both
light and pleasant, repaid him for the
outlay. Pr bile It may be true that about
the usual amount of greediness was
developed, and care had sometimes to be
taken "to defeat WO wrongas well es to
defend the right i lt yet Kitt eiperlence
upon the whole was pleasant enough to
cause the remembrance of disagreeable
incidents to fade rapidly out of memory.
The Committee expected, when they
consented to take charge of the charity,
OM much patience 'would be needed,
and that they wohld Meet' with adverse
criticism, kindly or unkindly given, and
they have not been disappointed.
The work might haps been given into
abler hands, and without doubt the labor
more wisely bestowed. We only claim
,to have•served to the hest of our-ability,
and the grateful thanks of those bene
fited repays us fully for our outlay of'
strength and.patienee4md the commen
dation of the worthy gentlemen who;
have at various times audited our Sc.
counts is sufficient answer to all else.
Very respectfully,

Are the order of the day. and it so hap
pens that' others than the real Yankee
are sometimes successful in inventing
useful and general articles for the public
gOod. An article in the shape of a cal"
coupling, patented March 23d, 1869, the
invention of Isaac V. and William J.
Lynn, two practical mechanics of this
city,'••has been thoroughlY tested during
the past six months, and as good judges
have pronounced it the most simple and
practicable coupling of the day, the at- -
tention of railroad men is called to the
destiription given below. This coupling
has :neither springs, delta, nor cranks.
Its principle consists in having a pin
2% and 13 and 9 inches long, suspended
between two pieces of wrought iton with
an attachment T shape, termed • the
pedestal, and then secured by a pivot.
The simplicity and practicability of its
working makes it superior to all so far
made public, not only on account of its
being a real saving of life and limb and
an invalbable agent in the saving of
time, but'also in the saving of pins, as
they cannot be lifted out.
For example, two cars ate linked, and
to uncouple and couple only one hand
ling of the pin (which 'at all times re
mains in position for use) Is 'seeded, as
there are angular Opening made In the
body of the coupling sufficiently roomy
to admit of the pin ' with its pedestal be.
ing ' drawn over the link, and when
drawn up the pin with pedestal stands
perpendicular. As soon as the pin Is in
position the link, on which the raised
from
stands, can be readily drawn from
under it, and when drawn the pedestal
drops into a small socket standing ready
for coupling. The mouth of the codpling
is bell shaped, and in using two of the
same kind the one coupled will hold the
link' straight out by the weight orthe
pedestal, being in a horizontal position,
and 'whenever a coupling is desired,
without any aid, the pin being in posi
tion, the cars can be instantly coupled in
a slow or quick manner. The fact cannot
be denied that coupling is dangerous,
and, as is then, now in reality, a cheap
and wife preventive against life and
limbAcigether with great advantages for
saVing 'of time. Railroad men would do
well to examine Lynn's Automatic Pat
ent Pedestal Car Coupling. A moment.
ary examination will show its advent
ages.."lt is so simply and strongly con.
stnuited that the pedestal cannot 'be in
jured,,and it can be used in connection
with the most ordinary kind on cars
varying five and six inches in Might. and
with crooked links. John J. M'Cormick,
of this city, is the assignee and general
manager.
Invlograting and Refreshing.
Exercise 'in the open air, morning
walks, tonic bitters; and a hundred
other things are represented as invig
orators, and for aught we know may be,
but if •any of our readers desire some
thing of an invigorating and refreshing
nature we' take pleasure in referring
them to the Continental Dining Saloon„ ,
Fifth avenue, next door ta thePostoftice.
A meal prepared in this establishment,
over which Mr. Holtzheimer presides, Is
highly Invigorating to a weak stomach
and the most refreshing thing imagina
ble to an empty one. Try the remedy
and you will abandon morning walks,
gymnastics, tonics, 'ttc.
Deliciously litedicinal.—This is the
universal verdict pronounced upon
PLANTATION BITTERS by ail who have
tried them. The well-known health
promoting ingredients from which they
are made, and their invaluable merits as
a remedy for indigestion and all Its con ,
sequent . aliments, and, the 'preventive
qualities against diseases arising from
climatic ,changes, miasmatic influences
and imperfect secretions, are so widely
known and so honorably endorsed, that
'we trust no ono will forego the advanta
ges of their use.

Ladles' Spring and summer Suns.
Th'eri, is one featttre of the stock vrbich:
Messrs. Mater; dt Bell have now on Man de
at their store, 21 Fifth avenue, that merits--
special attention. and isgenerally and de-
Servedly admired by the ladies. We re.
fer to the large and varied assortment of
black silk, poplin, linen and alpans 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 beautilbi, and with their different
shapes and trimmings, present a charm
ing variety to the purchaser. The poplin
suits represent every shade of color, and
are all neat and tasteful. They range in
price from $22,00 upwards and are in
great demand. 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
so well adapted to summer west' has been
offered here for many seasons. Whey are
complete in every respect, and yet sell
so low as PlB,OO. In the line of: al pacas
' 'there is a display of almost ego y at
tractive sults. Of the various. Imported •
goods we have mentioned, Messrs. Bates
dc Bell have large assortments; ready '
made-up and fit fora immediate - wear.
They represent all that is fashionable or •
fresh In Paris or the East, and are , finer
than can be produced here. Those, how
ever, who desire to leave order& final:Ms
will have a choice and extensive, lot of
fabrits to select from and some of our
best borne modistes who are hi the ser
vice of the firm to prepare them We
will close by noting that in , the cloak
room, yesterday, we were ehoWn no less
than thirty different styles of • black silk ,
mantles, cloaks and sacques, each°neap
parently outstripping the others In ele
gance and riehness, as they Were suc
cessively exhibited. They ranged in
Dries from ;110,0060 ;65,00, and &twit:thistly
imported from the leading European
howl. There is one new Styli among
them, the sievelesa barque, which is par?
tionlarly noticeable for Its novelty and -
beauty. Ladles know where .to.go 'for
