of seventy dollars. Investigating further
he ascertained the lady had disappeared

recently discharged. After careful re
flection, he accepted the situation philos
ophically, and has' since attended his
duties'as though nothing had happened.

Point Litigation Endd.
The foolish litigation between the resi
dents on Point street, which has been
going on for some time past, was finally
concluded last evening by Alderman
Strain, before whom the majority of the
cases were tried. The last case was a
cross suit so interminably crossed and
recrossed that no ordinary intellect could
discover prosecutor from defendant,
and the genial temper of the official was
at length so greatly crossed-that he
summarily disposed of the matter by
dismissing the whole affair, administer
ing a severe lecture to all the parties and
assuring them that in the future the full
est measure of the law would be meted
out to all offenders.
rolleeman Caned.
, Monday Mr. Charles E. Speer, the gen
tlemanly Assistant Cashier of the First
National Bank, presented Mr. Robert
Irwin, one of Mayor Brush's best po.
liceman, with a handsome ivory headed
cane. Mr. Irwin is the courteous po
liceman stationed at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Wood street, and so well
does he perform his duties to the city,
and at the same time keeping clear all
obstructions from in front of the bank,
that Mr. Speer as a reward of merit, in
behalf of the b ank, made him this hand
some present. Being personally ac
esainted with Mr. Irwin, we can say he
is a model of a policeman, and not ex
celled by any man on the force.

PITTAURGII GIViETTA: TRUSPAY MAY 27 18B8!"
81MDICAL MMUUSEI.
General Synod of the Reformed Pres
bytrux Ututrett . at Cedarville, Ohio.
DAY-.4.001:1 SESS;ON.,
Synod met at three o'clock, and was
opened with prayer by the Moderator,
Rev. M. Renshaw.
Dr. Donglas presented in the\name of
the proprietors, a copy of thelissitted Pres
byterian, of Pittsburgh, to each member
of General Synod.
On motion of Peter Gibson, Esq., a vote
of thanks was passed to the proprietors
of the United Presbyterian for 11 their con
siderationand generosity.
Proceeded to the order of the day, the
consideratibn Of the paper from the Sa
baranpur Presbytery and the r resolutions
of. Dr. McLeod.
Dr. McLeod gage a short history of the
Mission in India. -He was sure that it
would not be abandoned by the • church
ndliv,> He called on the Secretaries of the
Board of the Old School in New York be
fore he came' to Synod. They assured
him the Missionaries had. Inot reported
the act of their suspension tb them. The
Secretaries told him they 'believed the
Missionaries had gone out of their sphere
in suspending relations to Synod. They
had been influenced by neWs "manufac
tured" in - Pittsburgh, and sent broadcast
over the world. They should have wait
ed until they received the minutes of
Synod. But he held there was a differ
ence between a Presbytery among the
heathen and a Presbytery at home. There
was a Mission in India before there was
a'Presbytery, and there may be a Mis
sion, even if there mere no. Preabytery
there now.
Rev. A. G. Wylie believed in calling
things by their proper names. He did
not wish to say they had a Mission when
they had none. He would not compro
mise the Synod but would treat ilg i l Sa
baranpur Presbytery as they had t ated
the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Mr. Stewart believed they had a Mis
sion and should support it. The best
thing they could do mould be to pass the
paner.
Sir. James C. McMillan took a great
interest in the matter. Eta believed the
olive branch should be h ld out. \ Write
the missionaries and entir at them to re
consider action. •
Rev. J. S. Scott believed that every-.
thing that had been said In favor of the
ly,
Saharanpur Presbytery ongravated
her case. She should beltre ted as the
, 1
other Presbyteries had been.
Rev. A. G. Wylie said he -
I", om the sixth resolutioti of
ranpur Presbytery, whidh a
they "could never consent to
among the heathen, a church h,
doctrines they (the Synod) hay(
In thcOecision under review."
Dr. Wilson was opposed to hasty ac
tion. He thought a letter shoo d bewrit
ten, and Synod should wait a T ar. •
Dr. McMaster would like more light
before he gave his vote. He would like
to hear the report of the Board of Foreign
Miss ons before he gave his vote. They
shoo d treat the Sabaranpiir as they had
treat d the other Presbyteries. I
The following are the prlnclpal resolu
tions in the paper:
Resolved, , That the General Synnd
vit i vs the action of the Presbytery of
Sa ranpur in the premises with pro
s
fond regret; that they affeationately re
gn re them to reconsider said action, and
ref rn to their spiritual Mother who sent
th m to serve God among the heathen.
o/ved, That a Committee of Three
be appointed to address a letter to the
Pr abytery of Saharanpur, conveying a
co y of these' resolutions, and that furth
er Won in the case be suspended until
th v shall be again heard from.
esolved, That the Refsrmed Pres*
ter an Mission in India iir hereby decla
red to be still the property 'of general
Syriod. - \
IMsolved, That thr 11 br
iresolvea, did me Itoaru ..ie directei
to seek ior and send to India a compe
tent missionary to preach the gospel tO
the heathen and take chsrgoi )
of the in
terests of the Mission. 1 .
S, B. W. McLeod, M.D.. thought there
was a great similarity between the paper
and the plan proposed by Dr. cMaster.
Pending the discussion Synod djourned,
Rev. J. F. Morton concluding y prayer.

The Twenty Thleves—Bonds of Promise
For some time past residents in t the
lower part of the Third and kportions of
the Fourth wards, Allegheny have been
annoyed by the mysterious disappear
ance of articles from about their prem
ises. The articles taken were generally
found in halls connected with the house,
andfrom the manner and frequency with
wideh they disappearecl,it became evident
thatla iegniar nand of thieves were at
wort:. Detectives were placed on watch,
and sucf - etded in getting a clue to the
suspec:ed pArties,but nothing definite was
arrived at until yesterday, when officer
Fehr., of Alderman Bolster's police, ar
rested a young lad on-suspicion of being
the ringleader of the depredators. The
boy. during Tuesday, sold a saddle to a
resident in the vicinity, who, thinking it
too cheap to have been procured hon
estly, at once informed the officer of the
circumstance, which 'lead to his arrest.
The lad, apparently not more than thir
teen years old, when taken before the
Alderman, gave his name - as An;
drew Rutlinger. A number of rings
of all sizes and descriptions were
found upon his person, which tended
I still more to confirm the suspicions en
tertained of his character. Soon after his
arrest it was discovered that the saddle
had been stolen, and was accordingly
held. for investigation. Subsequently,
four companions, named respectively
Herman. Miller, George Schmidt, - George
Wagner'and Edward Rinecold, were ar
rested 'on wsuspicion of being impli
cated with him in the thieving
operations. • All the boys had
been observed spending money . free.
I_y, 'which first directed suspicion
toward them. From information receiv
ed it is believed they belong to an organ
- ized gang, numbering not less than
twenty, who are supplied with all the
appurtenances for carrying on burglari
ous operations. Some of those arrested
made confessions, which resulted in the
recovery of a number of articles, which
woire luentified by the owners. These
pe ., p=ons, hoWever, owing to the youth of
the prisoners, refused to prosecute, and
rested satisfied with the recovery of their
property. •
Two of the boys, Rutinger and
Schmidt, were committed, and the
others gave - bail for a hearing. Warrants
are out for a number of others, supposed
to be members of the gang, and it is
probable the whole affair will be.sifted in
a few days. None of the boys thus far
known are over thirteen years of age,
but they are said to be considerably older
than that in crime. The value of the
property taken cannot be estimated, as it
was stolen at intervals extending through
two or three months.

upward. On the side of the car is ) a
golden a legorical medalionornight, be
-1 neath which is the great word 'Pullman,
which is I regarded with reverence and
respect by rail who have "been to the
West." Not to know Pullman is to be
unacquainfel with the western monarch
who presides with so much grace and
ability.oVer th 6 destinies of the model
sleeping and dining cars of the world.
He is in the West what Woodruff ia l in
the East , land together they both engage
in friendly r odinpetition as to which llcan
surround, the traveler with most luxtiry,
or come the nearest to converting - the
swift moving sleeping car into a palace
fit for kingh.
The interior of the car is so grand and
gorgeous that we hesitate before attempt
ing to describe it even in general terms.
The floors are carpeted with the richest
moquet I' bright light colors, in keeping
with the iegant upholstery of the •sil
i;_
ver arme seats. Along the ceilings
are bars of silver the fall length of the
car, and here and there are ornamental'
designsi in illver to please and relieve the
eye. The lamps are all silver, - and of
finely cut glass. In an instants time the
seats are converted into soft downy
couches, supplied with the best of bed
' ding and covering. Every inch of space is
economized and made serve a useful and
ornamental purpose. The entire wood
work is black oiled walnut, with gold
trimmings; , The windows are of fine
plate glass j and between every pair there
is an adjustable table which can be set
up firmly fur writing purposes, reading,
card playing or games between passen
gers vis.o-ili.s. The mirror between the
windowe'l so constructed that by push
ing a spring it disappears and a lamp in
a neat little silver cove is brought to
view. The stove is in the rear, standing
in a niche knarded by several layers of
zinc from floor to ceiling. Beneath it is
a vessel of *ater, and from the roof down
.to the water there is a large pipe for ven
tilating the car with fresh air. The air
sweeps through the water and, discharg
ing its dust therein, reaches the passen
gers pure and refreshing. The car has a
state roomlwhlch will close compactly.
It has a fine saloon attached, and well ar
ranged conveniences for making the
toilet. Altogether, we believe it to be
the finest ear ever'placed on wheels, and
reflects the, highest credit to the builders.
The car was built at the Fort Wayne
shops of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne &
Chicago Hallway Company, under the
immediate! superintendence of Mr. Wil
liam Waddington. The capacity of theie
shops to turn out flue cars has always
been recognized, but in the present in
stance it is demonstrated that nowhere
else in the country has greater perfec
tion in car3huilding been attained. Mr.
Babcock, the gentleinan who accompa
nied the Car to this city, and to whom
was entrusted the execution of the de
tails of flit workmanship, informed us
that the twu mate of the car left the shops
at the same time and was at once . placed
by Pulimdn on the Union Pacific road.
TwO moreiof the same sort are now build
ing at the shops and will soon be com
pleted. It is a matter of congratulation
with the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and Chi
cago Company, that they have within
themseiveathe means and ability to com
pete with the world in car building, and
the care and excellence displayed in all
parts of LW) new car is full guarantee of
the proficiency of their workmen.

Amusements.
OPERA ifousz.—Notwithstanding the
extremelyi unfavorable weather a
very respectable audience assembled at
the Opera *use last evening to hear the
Chapman Sisters in the burlesque (Intl.
tied "Fri Diavolo." Mr. Bishop's
"Beppo" was unexceptionable, and not
withstanding that the \ author has semi
-fined all; the remaining characters
for the sake of Beppo, concentrating
all the amusement in the one, it is
by no means the cream of the entertain
ment. when the., roles of "Fra Diavolo"
and "Zerlina" are tilled respectively by
Blanch and Ella Chapman. The sing
ing of thelormer is exquisite, and the
vivacity of the latter is particularly en
tertalning; 23 Ella Chapman is not the
peer of Lode, who has heretofore been
\wlthout a'rlval in her line of characters,
she is certainly a dangerous rival, and
having the advantage of youth by several
years at least, premises to be the bright
est star in the constellation. Tonight
"Alladin, or the Wonderful Scamp,"
will be presented, on which occasion
Ella will play a banjo solo and dance
clog hornpipe.

The t °leered 'population of Church
alley have been considerably agitated,
of late, by a fend existing between Mrs.
'Jane Black and Mrs. Betty Snively.• Af
fairs at times have been quite exciting,
and on various occasions the public tran
quility has only been maintainal by the
interposition of the law's strong arm,
After a quiet ofseveral days, the quarrel
was renewed yesterday morning with
unusual fierceness, and promised severe
results, when Mrs. Black, thinking ',dis
cretion the better part of valor,",,with be
coming wisdom retired to the magisterial
office of Alderman Strain, and made
complaint against ner opponent for dis
orderly conduct. Mrs. Snively accord
ingly was compelled to attend a hearing
before the magistrate, at the conclusion
of which she was bound over to keep
the peace, hereafter, towards her rival.
Alleged Unprovoked Assault.
Robert E. Jackson, a colored man,
made information before Alderman Mc-
Meiters.sesterday, against Wm. Jones,'
of tfie Mayor's police, for felonious as
sault and battery., The prosecutor al
leges that he was standing on Wylie
street, near Fulton, when Jones came up
in an intoxicated condition and com
menced an unprovoked attack upon
him. In the scuffle, Jackson alleges,
he was knocked down three, or four
times, and when he attempted to run
away, was shot at by Jones—the shot for
tunately not taking effect. i Warrant
issued yesterday.
