Coroner's Investlgation6amlnterestint
Particulars Relative to the Construe- -
Ron of the Blding—lnvestigation to
be Continued to-Day.
The Coroner's jury empannelled to in:
quire into the cause of the death of Gel).
Caven, who was killed by the fall of
Finch & Co's. bonded warehouse, on
Frblay of last week. a full account of
which was published in the ClezurrE,
met vesterda pursuant to adjournment,
at the office of Justice Barker, in South
Pittsburgh, when the following lesamo-
ny was adduced:
\Alex: Wilson, sworn—l am a builder of
the firm of A. & S. Wilson. Have . ex
amined Finch & Co's. lionded Wait
house since the accident. Would sad*
that the piers on vhich the pusts stood
were defective, as the stone did not cover
them. The centre was the weakest part
. -
The pierce are of brick capped with atone.
The piers were two feet eight inches
square, and the stone on top wait eighteen
inches square. The piers weiV.built
round with a four inch layer of brick
and tilled in with loose brick; so fa as I
could see. All the weight of the build
ing rested on these posts and so on the
piers. Do riot count the piers as strong
as if they had only been eighteen inches
square and well built. The outside was
wet' enough built. but the weight did not
comae upon it. The piers were under the
first floor. The joist of the first , floor
rested on the outside walls of the piers. .
All the upper floor rested on,the centres.
I think that if the stone had covered the
entire top of the piers the support would
have been ample. On one of the piers
the capstone had been split in two by
the weight. The piers, girders and walls
of the building were sufficiently strong
for the. weight. The walls were well
built.. ThiCdeflcienoy was, I think in
the .lers. wl'be ground on which some
e piers were placed seems to have
, taking the foundation 'with it, and
of t
sun
both causes operated together to cause
the accident.
ahto. P. Brown, sworn.—Am a kind of
a carpenter; 'have worked at the business
twenty-eight years; am of the firm of
Brown .k Blair, Allegheny; examined the
warehouse this morning; the only fault
I find with the building is that the con
tse piers were not sufficiently strong for
the - weight of the building; the cap-stone
did not cover the entire top of the pier;
the piera may have been over-loaded; the
breaks I noticed in the piers I saw looked
like old ones; think the building was
ever-loaded; if.ther piers had been Drell
built, eighteen inches squarecand• cov
ered wit h an eighteen-inch cap-stone, I
would have gone their security.
Dr. Sikts N. Benham, sworn—Was
sent for by Mr. Finch to examine Caven
before he was cofilued. ' Made a
careful examination; satisfied myself
that he was dead; next took note of his
injuries, and next satisfied myself as to
the probable cause of his death. His
injuries, so far as I was able to ascertain,
were a slight abraaion of the skin of the
nose, dislocation of the left shoulder
backward and upward, produced proba
bly in the act of falling, a deep indenta
tion in the left thigh, but no abrasion of
the skin; perhaps the dent was an inch
deep; in the right groin was also a deep
Indentation, with no abrasion of the akin.
There were no fractures at all that I
could discover by careful examination.
The face was swollen and livid; the lips
were also much swollen and livid; also
the mucus membrane , of the nostrils.
A whitiahzfilm covered the eyes; the pu
pils were filleted and fixed. The conclu
sion I arrived at was that the man had
been poisoned by the vapor of the whisky.
No examination of the viscera was allow
able, and while the man might have died
from internal injuries, it is not at all
probable from the history of the case.
The intense strength of the alcoholic
fumes forms the most reasonable expla- I
nation of the death. They were so strong
that an examination of twenty minutes
affected me materially. (A statement hav
ing
been made to the jury that a report
was in circulation in McKeesport that
the body ofdecased was growing warm
er and it was believed that life was not
extinct, the witness explained that the
heightening of the temperature of the
body would be occasioned by the cessa
tion of alcoholic evaporation, which hith
erto has kept the body Colder than it oth
erwise would have been.)
George Howarth, sworn—Am a stone
mason and centraccor. Superintended,the
building of the stone work and brick
work of Finch A.Co.'s bonded warehouse.
Was employed at first by Mr. Kerr, ar
chitect, as superintendent. The stone
work was given put by contract, and I
was appointed to see that it was properly
done. The work was not done according
to' the plans and i specifications. Mr.
Finch then employed me tosee the work
properly done. I bad the work previ
ously donetorn down. About a hundred
perches of the foundation were removed
and made deeper and widero Dug down
until we came to *mod clay. The founda
tions of the walls all stand good. The
foundations of the piers were of the same
depth, and the same as the wall founda
tions. The foundations of the piers are
of stone, five feet square and the
same depth . Was particular to see them
well built. Th[stone • were all laid
in good mortar. Above the foundation
t ,
I put a three foe Stone base about one
foot thick, forth brick work to rest on.
The brick work Was twenty-seven inches
square, with prof Lions on two sides for
girders to rest on ' A stone cap one foot
think was placed on top of the pier for
the posts .to re t on. Considered the
brick work good - The brick were laid
in cement and e
Il i
' courses were bound
throughout. Ca give no cause for the
accident. The brick may have been too
tender for theeight. It would have
,
been better to ha e the cap stone cover
the piers. The pan, I believe, however,
was sent to Washington and accepted.
Think the building was originally cle
algned for a four-story building, but am
not sure. The building borne hundred
and thirty feet long, sixty feet wide and
Ave stories in height. The walls of the
first. and second stories were three bricks
thick, in the third story two and, a half
void in the fourth story two.
Michael Hatirdhen, sworn-Am ":book
keeper for Finch It Co., Had the superin
tendence of the distillery—and the house
adjoining - la, at the time the warehouse
was being commenced, and had Soule-
Meg to do with preparing the plans.
The building was first let by mitred, td
Jobe Cuthbert, and a great pet i t Of the
foundation done before the plans.were
prepared by Mr. Kerr, or it was thought
of putting the job in the hands of an
architect. I condemned the work and
recommended the placing of the .job in
the ludids of an architect. Mr. Finch,
after tionsultation, engaged Mr. Kerr,
who prepared plans and specifications.
Mr. Kerrtlien took chance of the concern,
examined the work done and con
denied it. The work was condemn-
Aid and recnOved,, and the building re
commetwrid. Mr. Howarth had full su
**Tinton of the stone and brick work,
atleir.'Finottli enema. The first plan
was for four atones, put as additional

Kerr. ' The lawlieglatres the building to

Revenue Decision--Important to Tobacco
mailers and Manufacturers.
The following decision by the Revenue
Department, received by the Superriaing
,
Inspector, will be found of importince to
those interested:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF
INTERNAL REVENUE,
WeselNuroze, May, 13, 1869 •
SIR: In reply to your letter of the 19th
inst., with reference to the. liabilities of
persons and firms who manufacture to
bacco and cigars in the same building
where they have a salesroom, and where
they sell not only their own products but
also goods manufactured by other per
-60218,4. have to saylhat the act of 'July
20th,1868, requires every manufacturer
of tobacco to giver ' bond and pay a
special `tax before commencing or con
tinning business, and a like requirement
is madeaif every manufacturer of (Agate- .
Both kinds 'of business cannot be per
formed under one bond and special,
tax receipt, neither is one interchanges-
ble with the other. .
A manufacturer of tobacco and snuff
may sell the products of his own menu
, facture without paying special tax as a
dealer in tobacco, and a manufacturer of
cigars may sell the cigars of his own
manufacture at the place of manufacture
without paying special tax as a dealer.
But if a manufacturer of tobatsco, or a
manufacturer of cigars, sells at the same
time the products of other manufactur
ers, he must pay a special tax as dealer
in manufactured tobacco.
Every manufacturer of tobacdo and
snuff is required to pack and stamp his
goods before they are removed from the
manufactory, or from any place
_where
the same are made, except such tobacco
and snug as are intended for export, and
every manufacturer of cigars is required
to pack his cigars in boxes not before
used for that purpose, and affix tax paid
stamps, before he is allowed to remove
them from any manufactory orlitace
where cigars are made. r ,
Under these provisions of ley it is held
and decided, that wher4 a'persen or firm
make or manufacture tobacco and cigars o
or either tobacco or cigars, in a different
part or parts of the same, building id
which they have a sales room, where
they sell at retail their owritoroducts, or
the products of other manufacturers, the
room Or part of the building where each
particular Dart of the business is carried
on is eithei the store, the manufactory,
or the place Where the tobacco or cigars
are made, as the case may be, and the
special tax paid as a dealer, or as a manu
facturer of tobacco, or a manufacturer of
cigars, is limited to and covers only the
business done in the part of the building
so designated and used, and does not
cover those portions ofthe building which
are appropriided for other tiurposes.
When, therefore, a denier In madufic
tured tobacco has his salmi room in the
front part of his store, and occupies the
back part as a place for manufacturing
tobacco, snuff or _cigars, or where he
i,
uses the fi rst floor of his building as a
store or sales room, and th upper floors
or cellar as places for ma ufacturing or
making tobacco, snuff or cigars, tho
goods, whether tobacco, snuff or cigars,
must be packed and stamped before they
are removed from that part of the build
ing where they are made to the store or
sales room. When tobacco, snuff or ci
gars are removed froth the place where
they are made and placed in .a store or
sales room where the occupant does
business as a dealer, they are offered
for sale within the meaning of the rev
enue law, and if they are found thereex
posed for sale without the proper stamps
affixed, they are liable to seizure, and
The person so removing his goods and of
fering them for sale without previously
affixing and cancelling the proper
stamps denoting the payment of the tax,
is liable on conviction to the. penalties
imposed by sec. ions 71 and 89 of the act
of July 20th, 1868.
Where'a person manufactures and sells
cigars id the same room, and at the same
plate sells cigars of other person's man
ufacture, be must pack and stamp his
cigars before he sells or offers or exposes
his cigars for sale, by pi:using them upon
his shelves, counter, , short case orother
conspicuous place.
:Manufactured and pure awed goods
cannot be stored promiscuously and of
fered for sale upon the same shelves and
counters, and without stamps affixed to
the goods which the person thus expos
lug them has manufactured himself.
Goods of his own manufacture, which
are thus commingled by the manufactur
er with goods purchased without being
properly stamped and cancelled, ire lia
ble to seizure, under sections 70 and 71,
or if cigars, under the provisions of ' sec
tion 89, act of July 20th, 1868,

bank, 'as was the intention. The defend
ant claimed that, as the note was drawn
payable to the bank, it must be trans- .
(erred to plaintiff before he can recover
Upon it.
• Plainpff claimed that the notes never
belonged to the Union National Bank,
and consequently no transfer was neces
sary. The COurt charged the jary that if
they found that there was a mistake
in drawing the notes, they should find
for the plaintiff, as judgment.upon the

Grand 'How.
On Monday evening a resident of Re
serve township gave it select cotillion
party at his residence, which waalargely
attended by lovers' of the terpsichorean
art.- Unfortunately, amongothose who,
by some means, gained admittance, were
four females ofdoubttul reputation. This
fact became known in the course of the
evening to the remainder of the lathes,
who at °lice manifested their indignation
by pouncing upon the lUckless Individu
els and beating them severely. •
A grand rOw ensued, in which the en
tire company participated, and for a time
affairs were quite lively. The distrub
ance was finally quieted and the party
broken up, hardly an attendant leaving
the premises withodt bearing away some
mark of the occasion, There have been
no informations of arrests since the oc
currence.
About an Umbrella.
Cornelias Boyle alleges ho was the
owner of a valuable umbrella, which he
was carrying along the street on Sunday
afternoon, when James Williams.and
John Walla approached and attempted
to wrench it from his grasp. In endeav
oring to save his property, ho alleges he
was dragged along the street for a con
siderable distance, and finally lost the
article, which was torn to shreds in the
scuffle. As a salve for his irqured feel
ings, he made information before Alder
man Lynch yesterday against his alleged
assailants for malicious mischief; in
atroYing the umbrella and assault and
battery in in using h im. The affair oc
curred on Liberty street, in the neigh

his company naturally created high ex
pectations in the putdie mind, which, we
regret to say, were not entirely realized.
Their entertainment °Mad have been un
exceptionable, but for the failure-of Mr.
Owen, the piano accompanist, who mar
red the enjoyment of every piece in
which he had a conspicuous part. The
singing of Miss Barton was highly appre
ciated by the audience, as were all the
other performances, save the piano ac
companiments. The second concert takes
place this evening, when, I'..r the credit
of the excellent company to.which Mr.
Owen is attached, we hope he will im
prove upon 'his efforts of last evening.
OPERA HOUSE—Humpty Dumpty still
rules the Hour at the Opera House. The

the grocery store and dwelling of Mx.
Joseph Fletcher, corner of Robinson and
Darragh streets, First ward, Allegheny,

window. •Once inside they proceeded to
go through the house in professional
style. Ascending to the bed rooms-they
broke open several trunks; scattering
the contents in all directions. and
uring about twenty-five dollars", in
