Exciting Runaway.— Last evening
about six o'clock, a horse attached to a
light buggy took fright, at the corner of
Locust and Boyle -streets, Allegheny,
and dashed along Locust and down Fed
eral streets at a fearful rate. The af
frighted animal finally brought up against
a post - near Semple's dry goods store
and was secured. A shaft of the buggy
;was broken, together with one of the
wheels. The horse escaped injury. A
lady and gentleman had just stepped out
of the buggy when the animal started.
Injured.—A. drayman named. Robert
Fulton, in the employ of Atwell, Lee &

covery.
sngnc Fire.
About eleven 'o'clock last night an
alarm of fire, proceeding from box 37,
corn'ar of Second avenue and' Tiy street,
was sounded from the central bell. The
alarm was occasioned by ,the burning of
the watchman's box at the north end of
the Monongahela Railroad Bridge. It
appears that the watchman had kindled
a fire in the stove and had left the box
to attend to his duties, when , by some
means the box took fire and was entirely
consumed The Duquesne engine and
hose Carriage responded promptly to the
alarm, but the engine was not put into
service, as the Are was extinguished by a
plug stream.

Renegade of the Potomac.
The soldiers' widows and orphans, we
are happy to infdrm our readers, were
not forgotten last night, as was fully
attested by the very large, fashionable
and appreciative audience which crowded
the parquette, dress circle and galleries
of the Academy of Music, where was
performed, fOr the first time, under the
auspices of Posts No. 35 and •SS G. A. R.,
the grand national drama, the "Rene
gade of the Potomac." The, exhibitiob
was a success in ;every particular, re
flecting credit upon all connected with
It. The piece was admirably put upon
the stage, and the characters were all
welt sustained. The performance will
be repeated every evening this week,
and those who desire to see it should
secure tickets early. Box office open

••liew Sensation."
The latest sensation is a little out of
the usual routine for this locality, in fact
it is something new, although cases of a
•
similar character are of frequent occur
rence in some of the western cities. It
is nothing more nor less than an action
for a breach of promise of marriage, in
which the damages are laid at five thou
sand dollars.
On Thursday of last week Amy A.
Johnson, a resident of Chicago, ar
rived in this city, and immedi
ately visited the office of an Attor
ney-at-law, with whom she had a confer
ence, the result of which was that on the
Saturday following suit was entered in
the District Court by Amy A. Johnson
vs. Edmond D. Smith for breach of pro
mise of marriage. A capius was issued
and Smith arrested and required to give
ball in the sum of $1,500 to answer. The
declaration sets forth that the promises
were made to the plaintiff in Chicago
about eighteen months since,,and
.mc
cepted by her in good-faith; tha she has
been and now is ready to enter into the

A Strange Story,
Yesterday morning a woman, acoom
panied by a little child about three years
of age, made her appearance at the Union
Depot, and indeavered to arouse the sym
pathies of the officials by the relation of
a story, pitiful enough, but unfortunately
not very plausible. According to the
tale, she had just arrived from New
York, en route to Chicago. At Pittsburgh
she had entrusted a gentlemanly stran
ger to purchicie a ticket to her destina
tion, but this confidence was ex.'
(scoffingly unfortunate, as the chap
`palmed off a ticket for New York, which
he said cost fourteen dollars. After pay
ing for the ticket her purse was empty,
and in a few minutes afterward she dis
covered the fraud of which she had been
made the victim. Without money,
without friends, in a strange plAce, no
other course presented itself than to ap
peal to the kindness and charity of
strangers, which she seemed not at all
loth to do. -
The officials to whom she appealed were
at first inclined to grant her a free pass to
Chicago,. which she asked -for, but when
the counter-statement • of the passenger
was heard, together with the other devel
opments, the case assumed an entirely
different phase, and placing no reliance
in her story they refused to.extend any
aid. She lingered about the Dapot for
several hours, and finally disappeared as
mysteriously as she had arrived.
In contraaiction to her story, however,
a passenger on the train, which arrived
from Cincinnati, some tithe , before, 13081-
Wifely asserted he observed the woman
on the same train; that she had told some
other pitiful story, and that a collection
had been taken up in her behalf. The
woman was questioned in regard to this,
but affirmed the truth of her story, al-
though it was evident she desired no in
vestigation.
We hoped that the officers would fur
nish copies of the reports for publication,
and therefore took no notes, and have to
regret the consequent meagre account
we are obliged to give of this most praise
worthy Institution and its statistics of
good work done in the past year.
A noteworthy incident of the evening,
which it would be wrong to omit, was the
public acknowledgment made- by the
Rector of Trinity Church, at tip) request
of the lady managers, of the greed kind
ness of Mr. Pitcairn, proprietor• of the
Excelsior Omnibuses, in sending car
riages to the "Home," at Locust Grove,.
for the inmates, and taking them to the
church and bringing • them all safely
back when the services had ended. We
join in the common sentiment of thanks
for such considerate courtesy.
Another evidence of her untruthful
ness was the fact that no train had ar
rived froth New York during the morn
ing, it not being due until afternoon:
She further stated she had shown her
ticket to a conductor on the. Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne and r hicago Railroad, but
he refused to allow her to paw on it, This
Was also a falsehood, as there had , been
no such train in the depot daring. the
morning previous to her appearance.

THE POMMO CASE.
Coroner 7 a , Inquest—Testimony - Taken—
The - Oecurrence Fully Rutilehied.
We gave the particulars in vesterda • :
paper of the poisoning of live children,
in Allegheny, one of whom, died. The
jury empannelled on Sunday, by Cor
oner Clawson, reassembled last evenin
at six o'clock, when the following testi
mony 4
was elicited, fully explaining the
sad occurrence.
Dr. D. N. Rankin, sworn—On Satur
day about noon went to the residence of
Thomas N. Miller and found one of the
children—a boy, in convulsions, with a
rash similar to scarlitina, very rapid
breathing, pupils of the eyes largely di
lated. and great dryness of the tongue
and throat. Mrs. Miller informed me
that Dr. Mahon had been called and had
left after having given an emetic to two
of the children—George and Tommy.
The emetic that George had taken did
not operate and I repeated the dose and
gaVe large draughts of strong. coffee; also
used an enema, and ordered bromide of
potassium with mustard applications.
Made another visit at ten o'clock, when
the warm mustard bath was used. At
eight o'clock - called again and continued
the treatment, substituting the carbonate
of ammonia for potassium: Called again
at ten o'clock and continued the treat
ment. At haltpast one o'clock at night
was sent for, and when I went up found
him considerably reduced. Large quan
tities of urine had collected and I used
the catheter. Called again at eight o'clock
Sunday morning and found that he had
died about an hour before... From the
symptoms I at once said it was belladona
poll ening. No other poison prodnees the
rash and dilates the pupils of the eyes as
this does. Had a sample of the poison,
but have. lost it. It resembles the ex
tract of licorice in odor 'and appearance.
(Dr. Mahon here showed a piece of the
poison.) The sister of the little boy told
me he must have eaten a piece half as
large as his finger. Half a grain will
cause death.
. Dr. Thomas Melon, aworn—Was call-
ed on Saturday co see some children that
were poisoned. -Found one child lying
in bed, cheeks flushed, whole face swol
len, pupils of the eyes dilated, arid the
patient insensible. The other child was
sitting up in the bed. They. - had both
partially lost.musoular power. I thought
they bad been poisoned by belladona,
and advised a draught of pulverized ip
ecacuanha and gave it to them in divided
doses. Thomas vomited freely, but Grant
did not, being insensible and the stomach
not acting. Called in a few minutes
again. and found Dr. Rankin present.
We continued the treatment, as testified
to by'him. The poison caused the death.
The piece of belladona was handed to
me by Mr. Terry, who got It from a little
girl who picked it up in the yard.
Mrs. Caroline Swartzfvelder, sworn.—
There was a cup taken off the top of the
cupboard in my house, and the little
girl ,cleaned it out, and tlixew the con-
tents into the yard. That is all I know
about it, except what I heard from my
daughter. The contents were thrown
out about eleven o'clock on the forenoon
of Saturday. It was a small toy cup and
would not hold more than a tablespoon.
ful. It did not belong to any one in the
family so far as I know. Did not tell
my slaughter to throw the stuff into the
tire, that it was poison. Asked about it
and my daughter Mary told me she had
put it there.
Miss Mary Strartztvelder, sworn—l got
the cup from John Singleton. '
never used
any of the stuff. He gave it to me five
or six months ago, but did not tell mall
Was poison: told me .he got it from a
Doctor. If Dun not mistaken, he said
he got it from_ Dr. Redlick, of Sharps
burg. I never used it, but put it up in
the top of the cupboard. I don't know
where Singleton is now.
Miss Kate Strartztvelder, sworn—Took
down the cup between eleven and twelve
o'clock on Saturday morning. 'Took it
to mother and asked, her what it was.
She said she did not - know. Showed it
to my sister Mary and she said she did
not know what it was. Then scraped it
out and threw part of the stuff Into - the
yard, and the cup and Stick I threw into
the out-house.
Miss Ma 4 S'acartzutelder '
re-called—
Singleton gave me the stuff for the pur
pose of putting away my child. It was
not to be taken internally.
At the conclusion of the inquest the
jury returned a verdict that "the de
ceased, George Grant Miller, came to his
death on Sunday, May 9th, 1869, from
the effects of eating belladona, which
had been thrown into the yard by a
neighbor's daughter, who was ignorant
of its nature." -
The other children who partook of the
poison are now entirely out of danger.

Lion Of the New Hail of Post No. 3.
For some time. past the members of
Post No; 3; G. A. R., have been engaged
in fitting up for their use a hall in Paul
eon's new building, on. Fourth avenue,
'near WOods street, and the final prepa
rations having been completed last even
lug, a large number of the friends of the
Post, by-invitation, assembled with the
MembersAo participate in the dedicatory
emu : dace.
The hall is located on the fourth floor
of the building, access to it being' gained
by broad and easy flights of stairs. In
teriorly it is one of the neatest and most
perfectly arranged affairs of the kind we
have ever seen. The first thing which
attracts' the eye upon entering is an altar,
situated in the centre of and near the op
posite end of the room, handsomely
,draped with flowing folds of the nation's
'flag., Lying upon the altar is a large open
Bible, on which are placed two swords;
crossed; while on either side a stack of
arms completes the arrangement. Di
rectly in the rear of the • altar is the
chair Of the presiding officer, so lo
cated that an unobstructed view of the
entire ; interior may be obtained.
Ranging around the walls, from this
chair is a raised Dias about three feet in
width, and occuped with a row of neat
cane seated arm chairs. In front of the
Dias a portion of the main floor is sim
ilarly occupied with. accomodations for
the members. The Dias is covered with
oil cloth, and the main floor "With
a heavy and substantial ingrain, green
and black, carpeting. The wall is pa
pered in pannels. Four large chandel
iers complete the furniture of the hall,
and shed a mellow-and softened radience
over the interior. The place seems ad
mirably adapted for the, purpose de-
signed, and reflects the highest credit on
the energy and correct taste of the mem
bers of Post No, 3.
After the halt had been thoroughly
examined by the visitors, Captain W. B.
Cook announced that the Committee of
Arrangements had appointed Colonel
R. Biddle Roberts Chairman, and Lee S.
Smith !Secretary. The Chairman called
the meeting to order, when prayer was
offered by Rev. F. A. Noble.
Col. Roberta said he had been invited
by Post No. 3 to say something of the
Hall and the uses to be made of it. He
congratulated the members on the suc
cess oftheir efforts, and the fact that they
had even a place in which they could as
semble to renew old associations, live
over again the stirring scenes through
whichthey had passed, and thus ever
keep ! alive in their hearts the
fires .of patriotism. The day
in which it was inaugurated was auspi
cious. No difficulty would ever be ex ,
perieneed in remembering the date, for
upon this day the triumph of the na
tion's greatest enterprise was witnessed
in the: completion of the Union Pacific
Railroad. The speaker dwelt eloquently
and at length on: this achievement, and
characterized it as one which in a large
measure overshadowed the success of
the Atlantic Cable.
He said the question might be asked,
howeVer, what this had to do with the G.
A. R. to-night? Much everyway. The
same cause which-resulted in the comple
tion of the one effected the organization.
of the other. Had the war not come upon
the nation, and rebellion threatened its
life, this scheme would never ' , have
been carried out. The railroad never
would have been built. COngress
- might have been appealed to in
vain to expend fifty millions of dollars
to build a railroad for the commercial in
terests of the country; but when war
came the enterprise came up in a new
- form, 'and, as a military necessity, our
Representatives at Washington quickly
apprehended it, and thought fifty mil
lions as nothing compared with the ad
,vantages to be derived therefrom. The
'speaker then reviewed the organization
of the G. A. R. as an effect of the war,
and closed with a brilliant pereerstion
on the benefits and blessings which had
been Secured to every citizen in the land,
by the return of au honorable peace,
through the efforts of the gallant men, of
whom the G. A. R. was composed.
MajOr A. C. Bosychell, of Pottsville,
Brand Commander of the G. A. R. in
Penneylvania, was next introduced,
and imade a ' , brief speech on the
use 9 and progreall , of the order.
He Said the object was not to
increase the 'number of posts but the
membership. There were now 99 Posts
with 7,099 members in good standing in
the State. Other Posts were organizing
in various localities, and the order was
more flourishing now than at any previ
ous time. The great work of the order
was the care of the widows and orphans
of soldiers and sailors. It was no politi
cal niacMne. In Schuylkill, the Post to
which he had belonged had so well ful
filled itstrust that none of the objects of
Its care had suffered for the past eighteen
. months.
Brief addresses followed by Gen. J. B.
Sweitzer, Rev. F. A. Noble, B. Be Evans,
Esq.' T. Westchester, Esq., and others,
which, however, want of space prevents
us from reporting.
Mr. Musgrove, author of the "Drum
mer ;Boy of Shiloh," recited Col. Hal
pine!s poem; "orhe Old Canteen," with
thrilling effect, after which the audience
led by Mr. David Jones, joined in sing
ing i•The Star Spangled Banner;"' and
were dismissed.
The Mason & Hamlin Organs
•
The amount of testimony in the pos
session or Messrs. Mason & Hamlin, eels.
Live to the superiority of their famous
Cabinet organs is so vast that to give
even line extracts therefrom would re
quire a sheet as large as the GAZETTE.
No less thati three hundred prominent
musicians bear testimony to their excel
lence, and with singular unanimity pro
ttounce them the best of their class and
recommend them as very admirable and
desirable, for both private and public
use. Seventy-five gold or silver medals
attest that these organs have' no compet
itoris, and the proprietors having estab
fished their reputation in every way to
insure the• confidence - of the people, now
find their extensive factory taxed to its
utmost capacity_ to supply the demand
for them. Eminent organists affirm that
for_ purity and volume of tone these in
struments cannot be equaled in the
present stage of the mechanic arts, and
lilessrs. Mason &Hamlin, having by their
ingenuity invented so perfect an instra
inent, need have no fears of a successfhl
rival. It is; their aim to make a first
class instrument—the best in the market
—to bd sold at as low rates as inferior
organs aro, so that every household may
be supplied with the best at the cheapest
rates. C. C. Mellor, 81 Wood street, is
the wholesale agen t the sale of these
remarkable organs, and he has them in
every variety and at different prices.

Funny.
A steer broke loose hum. a drove yeik
terday and rushed into the hat store of
Fin. Mains it Ce., Fifth avenue, and after
surveying the goods, the animal quietly
departed.
A horse attached to a light wagon
dashed away yesterday on Second street
and brought up before a tavern on the
corner of Ross and Second streets. The
horse, becoming disengaged from the
wagon, entered the saloon, and with his
two fore feet perched on the counter,
seemed to command his liquor in the
usual way. The owner soon arrived and
subsequently all things went smoothly'
