formed that. the Mayor is investigating
the charges, which investigation will
very probably result in the .discharge of
the officer.

Fisher de Co., on Railroad street, East
Birmingham. The building was a frame
structure, two stories high, and was to
tally destroyed. The loss will not ex
ceed five thousand dollars, and is fully
eovered by insurance.. It is presumed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
Boy Drowned.—Jenkin Edwards, a
, boy about ten years of age, was drowned'
yesterday afternoon, in the Monongahela
river,. near Bakewell & Pier's glass
works, Birmingham. Ilewas in bathing,

number of persons assembled on tt e
river bank, and parties were engaged in
\ dragging tbe,!tiver all a ft ernoon, but up
\to a late hoariest evening bad not sue
' ceeded in recovering the body.
Not So Bad.—A friend orthe colored
boy alluded to in Friday's GAzwrsz :as
baying developed remarkable "clever
ness" in a swindling operation at the
Railroaa Station in Allegheny, says the
boy is not so -bad as represented. He
says that.the traveler left his leather and
carpet sack on the floor of the station,
and left them there. The boy thought
they had been forgotten, and removed
them to a place of safety. When he re
turned the owner paid him fifty cents
1, for his thoughtfulness. Such are the
statements of the boy,s friend. •
Throwing Stones.—Xesterday evening,
about • four ,o'clock, John McClure, a
young hopeful, about sixteen years of
age, was amus;ng himself in the inno
cent pasttima of throwing stones through
the windows of the Methodist Episcapal
Church, at the corner of Smithfield
street and Seventh avenue. An officer
ending him thus
.engaged , interrupted
his sport by taking him lb oharge and
conduotii)g him to the lock-up, where he
was confined for the night. He was con
siderably undei the influence of liquor
when arrested, but refused to tell where
he proeured - the article. Re will have a

who, it appears, has been, suffering from i
an- aberilation of mind for BOMB weeks

In the lock-up until the necessary ar

thought; is not permanent, and his
friends believe a few months', or per
haps a few weeks' proper treatment will
effect a care; Mr. Pool • was formerly
employed on the Oakland Passenger

Profeisionals Aboui.
We still have a few professional thieves
in dtir community who occasionally out
wit the vigilance of our detectives and
line their pockets with ill-gotten gains.
Three of them engaged in a bold and ono.
cessfal undertaking on Saturday, in Al- ,
legheny, by which they secured abopt
one hundred and fifty dollars. Aboat
three o'clock in the afternoon the trio, all
young men, entered the bat store of
Messre. Pratt and Benney, on Fed
eral street, near Water, Allegheny.
Mr. Pratt was in the establishment alone
. at the time, and while ,one of them en
-1 gaged his Atention, pretending to select
' a hat, the other two stepped toward the
rear, and oeolly appropriated a 'pocket-
book containing the amount stated from
the drawer. They then withdrew
without making a purchase. The pocket
took bad been laid in the drawer

came In and Mr. Pratt, after their de

as the thieves passed out, but as the oo
currence was not , known then thefwere
allowed to pass on. It is quite likely the
money will never be recovered, as, if the
parties were strutted, Mr. Pratt Is not
certain he could identify them. -,
Runaway.
Saturday evening about seven o'clock,
a runaway occurred on Seventh avenue,
by which a man whose name we could
not ascertain, was slightly injured: ' A
horse and buggy was standing on Grant

Coulter' Challenfita Hamfll is ; a Flee
Race Over the Lower blowntira

There has 'been a lack of interest in
aquatic sports in this city during the
present season, but the indications, at
Present - are that it only requires some-.
thing to start the sport to make the sea
.
son an unusually interesting one. Harry
Coulter, the Manchesteroarsman, is anx
ious to have another "pull?' with Jimmy
Hamil ing l, a
en s will appear from the follow
challge:
I do hereby challenge James Hamill to
row me a five mile race, on the Lower
Monongahela course, for five hundred
dollars a side. My race with Mr. Hamill
at Philadelphia, last summer, not having
proved satisfactory to me or my friends,
t desire to row him again, and as he had
the choice of waters then, I think that
this time I have the right to choose, and
therefore name the Lower Monongahela
course, as stated above.;
I hope that Mr. Hamill will accomo
date me in this matter; and that we may
have a race rowed to A satisfactory con
clusion.' If Mr. Hamill will name
through any of the city papers where I
can meet - him in order to make a deposit
to insure the match, I will bA happy to
meet him. ' COULTER.
What the ' , Little Engine's" reply will
be is not'delinitely known. His friends
say that he is anxious to have another
"tug" with Walter Brown for the cham
pionship, which the latter so unexpect
edly wrested from him last season, and
that he will not make a match with any
one until that is disposed of. •He feels
,confident of his ability 'to beat ,Walter,
and is anxious to teat the matter. A race
between Hamill and Coulter would cre
ate considerable interest among the
friends of both parties as they have
never had a fair "pull" together.
Fire In Allegheny,
Saturday evening, about ten o'clock, a
fire brokeout in a small shed attached to
a two story frame dwelling house on
Robinson, near Grantham street. Fourth
_ward, Allegheny. The house was owned
by Mr. Louis Fleming, who occupied it
with his family. The inmate* had all
retired a short time before the breaking
out of the Limes, and were first notified
of the condition of things by theory of
fire.
An alarm was sounded which brought
the fire department out in force in a very
few ininutes. The little shed in the rear
of the building, in which the fire origin.
aced, was quickly consumed, when the
blaze ran up the aide of the house, and
burned with great fierceness. At one
time fears were entertained of the
safety -of the structure, and those
in the immediate vicinity, but by
the prompt action of the firemen
the flames were kept under Con
trol and subdued 1n a short time. The
whole interior was completely soaked
With water, which • occasion the
greatest loss sustained. Mr. Fleming
had an insurance of one thousand dollars
in a _home company which will fully
cover the loss. In anticipation of the
destruction of the building, nearly all
the goods contained therein were re
moved without much damage. The roof
of an adjoining tenement at one time
Caught but was extinguished immedi
ately. No cause can be assigned for the
fire, as the shed In wnich it originated
was used only as a lumber room, was
seldom entered, and contained nothing
I of a particularly Combustible nature.
A Simper Foiled.
Saturday evening, between six and
seven o'clock, an attempt was made by
two young sharpers, evidently prole °.
sionals, to rob the cash drawer in the
clothing store of Et Houston h Co., Fifth
avenue. At the time mentioned they en
tered the store and finding Mr.E. Houston,
the senior partner, alone, stated that
they wished - to purchase a linen duster.
Mr. H. showed them his stock of dusters,
and succeeded in suiting them, but they
concluded not to take it with them at that
time. One of them said that he would
like to write a note, and requested Mr.
H. to furnish him with pen and ink and
a sheet of paper, which he did, placing
them on the counter at the back end of
the store room. The fellow sat down and
commenced to write, and his companion,
in order to Araw Mr. H's. attention from
the writer, desired tolook at some shirts.
A package was shown him but they did
not snit. lie saw one in the window,
however, which be thought was just
what he wanted. Mr. Houston went to
get the shirt, and in doing so, happened
to look toward the back part of the store,
when he observed the fellow he had pro
vided with pen and ink behind the
counter in the vicinity of the cash .
drawer. He immediately went back and
caught him !by the neck, and after
ascertaining that his money was still safe,
led hilitotiL. !The sharper insisted that
he was innocent of any attempt to rob
the cash drawer, stating that he had acci
dentally knocked something off the
counter and had gone back to pick it up.
They purchased the shirt and left, prom
ising to come back and establish their
innocence, but they did not come.
Tne Clearfield Bans Robbery.
Jeddie E. Learoin, one of the men im
plicated in fhe Clarlield Bank robbery.
on the 12thof May last, was arrested in
St. Louis F riday
knownmorning last and
turned ovo to Daniel E. Moore, Cashier
of the ban , and officer . Tracy, of-St.
Louis, on requisition from Governor
Geary. It appears that Lemoin and a
notorious ate robber , as Jack
Nelson rai California Jack, were'ar
rested a feW days after the robbery was
committed but the forsner managed to
escape. Some two years ago Lemoin
was charged with robbing the safe of the

Connubial. Wrangle.
For twenty years, James Sharp and his
loving spouse Hattie. have sojourned in
this world together. For twenty more
they might have pursued the even tenor
of their way, but for the untimely ap
pearance of a young syren, to whose
charms, Hattie states, her liege has fallen
a victim. The infatuation, Hattie avers,
is so complete and enthralling that.the
former exemplary husband has deserted
his own peaceful fireside and happy fem.
ily to follow the. lead .of his fair enchant
ress. Distressed at his conduct, Hattie
alleges, she endeavored to moo him back
to the path of rectitude, but was cruelly
spurned, with dire threats so terrible that
she feared her life. In this statei`she
conaulted Alderman Mcbdasters, on Sat

upon that official toissue warrants for the

Urriowroww, June 5, 1869.
Missans. Enrrons: For the past ten
days I have been sojourning in this pret
ty town. As your readers are probably
aware, Uniontown lies but a few miles
from the foot of the "Blue Ridge" moun
tains, which makes the situation delight
fuL The famous "Fayette Springs" are
about nine miles from here, and there
fore i gnite convenient to the town. At
present there is no life at the "Springs"
_b e ing rather early in the season. The
most enjoyable retreat hereabouts is
Snyder's, on the summit, a distance of
Six miles from Uniontown. The scenery
,in this vicinity from the most available
points is very grand and interesting.
The new school building will be opened
on Mondarnext. It Is one of the moat
prominent' buildings' 'in 'town. The
ro oo3o,ten in numbers are fitted up in
modern style. A large hall for exhibi
tion purposes is on the third floor. The
entire work haa been discharged in an
excellent manner, and reflects credit on
those who Wei* engaged upon it, as well
the architect, S. W. Kerr, Esq., of your
city. The school is- under the superin
tendency of Prof. H. 0. Gibbons.
Hall, which was completed this
year, is a great convenience, as has been
attested on many occasions.
A cattle depot is being erected by the
Pittsburg and
• Connellaville Railroad
Company, convenient to town. It will
be quite a large.affair when finished.
A new Methodist Church is soon to be
built. The Baptists have their new
Church almost ready for service.
Contracts have been given out for lay
ing gas maim throughout the town, and
a grand jubilee will be held on the in
troduction here of the new burning ma
terial, which it is expected will take
place on the Fourth of next July. Many
merchants have prepared their gas pipes
for the use of this light upon its being
introduced.
The Uniontown Brass Band, under the
leadership of Prof. Geo. Rutter, is an ex
cellent one, and the citizens of the town
must feel proud of it.
The Orphans' School. under the man
agement of Rev. A. L. Waters, is in a
prosperous condition. The entire school
visited Pittsburgh on "Decoration Day."
The roll numbers two hundred children.
Two hand engines, which are supplied
with water from the "race" which runs
through the town, comprize the fire de
department of Uniontewn. l Instead of
hose car: sages, bucket carriages are used.
The tank of the engine is , flitted, and
then pumped in the old style of hand
engines. I think the town might sup
port a steam engine.
Harry Hotto and Troupe closed a suc
-manful two week's business at Skiles'
Hall on the 29th. . Everett, the Illusion
ist, opened at the same hall on the 31st,
and has been doing an immense busi
ness. He will likely remain a few nights
next week.
Messrs. Pittock and Ross, who rode on
their byoicles from Brownsville here, :on
the 25th, a distance of twelve miles in
three hours, have had their school in
operation at the Town Hall, and closed
last evening.
The Democratic Primary Election for
Assemblymen, Treasurer, Register and
Reoorder, Prothonotary and Commis
sioner takes place at the Court House to

much universal satisfaction to the patromi,

rival in his profession.' Tonight Maffitt
will appear in "Simon's. Mishaps or The;

PITTSBURGH THEATRE.—The amuse ]

of fun at the Old Drury during the past ,
season, and the attractions are still
great as ever. To-night "The Lonely;
Man of the W.ean" will be presented, in
addition to which a splendid variety bill
will be offered. 1
THE GREAT Sitow.—James • Robin-'
son's circus, combined with Gardner di
Kenyon's Mammonth Menagerie, will

Square, Allegheny, Thursday', Friday
and Saturday, the 17th, 18th and 19th in.
stant. James Robinson is the acknovi
lodged champion barebacked rider of the
world, and his son Clarence, only nine
years of age, who promises to • rival hi's
father in feats of horsemanship, will ap
pear at every exhibition. There will
be an afternoon and evening perfZirni
, ance each day. The Menagerie claims to
have the largest and most rare collection
I of animals in this or any other country.
William Denny is an old attendant of
the Allegheny lock-up. He was arrested
on Monday of last week and fined five
dollars for drunkenness. Wednesday
morning found him again in his old quar
ters. Ten dollars fine was imposed for
this second offence. Saturday morning,
for the third time during the week, be
appearea before His Honor, look
bug as though he bad lust passed
through a protracted dissipation.
This time William .was on the
offensive, and interposed a legal
objection to the imposition of any line,
on the ground that no man could justly
be lined three times for "the same
drunk," which he continued was his po
sition "eggsactly." This technicality in
the law, though seemingly lust, was over
ruled by the Mayor ' however, and
Williamwaa compelled to contribute ten
dollars towards , replenishing the city
treasury, which he was exceedingly hith
to do, and did only under protest. '
Jimmy Coggius and 'Thomas Golden,
coal miners, who just:exrivedin i the city,
from Mansfield, yesterday, in search l of
employment, found their way to the
Point, where, it appears, they succeeded
in procuring a sufficient quantity., of
whisky to intoxicate them, differed to
whom they should go, to apply for work.
They . quarrelled some time over the Mat
ter. but could come to no conclusion, and
finally decided to settle the matter by a
fight, and repairing to the.vicinity of the
Duquesne Depot, stripped off and Went
at it. After pounding each other 1 for
some time they were interrupted by an
officer, who, not knowing the cause of
the difficulty, took them , both in cus

- )1. Legal Question.
How It was Settled.
*lre Delbert!neat In Allegheny.
I.tllegheny is to have a paid fire depart- .
merit. At the last meeting of the Com
mittee on Fire Engines and Hose of the
Councils the matter was brought up and
discussed at considerable length, result
ing in a unanimous decision to report fa
vorable to the project, and asks for in
structions at the next meeting of
Councils. There Is little doubt, when it
crimes before that body, judging from
the feeling among members, the Com-,
niittee will be authorized to proceed with
tee necessary arrangements for making
the change immediately.
iThe Department, as at present organ
lied, is a combination of the Paid and
Volunteer, systems. Each Company is
allowed a driver and a sufficient number
of men, generally but three or four, to
Man the carriage. All the others are
Merely volunteers and are outside the
control of the authorities. This plan has
been found to work pretty well, but there
ake a number of defects with it which
cbuld be remedied by a paid systeni al
tagether.
The additional expense incurred by
changg, it is thought, would not be
Time than $ll,OOO, which would be more
than repaid in the incurred efficiency of
the department. If the change is to be
Made at all, the sooner It is accomplished
the better, as every year but increases
the difficulty, and expense necessary to
tie Incurred. The Committee have not
gettled upon any plan as yet, but await
the *diorite Councils.

Annie, Eisner while enjoying•the festive
hospitalities offered at a saloon on Troy
Hill, yesterday, were approached by an
ungallant youth who addressed them In
a manner so familiar, that at once their
ire was aroused, and he received in reply
a couple of beer tumblers thrown with
considerable force at-his head. He was
sufficiently active, however, to dodge the
missiles which went crashing through
the window. Symptoms of a first-class
row were becoming manifest when a
couple of policemen, on duty on the Hill,
happened along and arrested the trio
man and women. They were lodged in
the lock-up until this morning.

The White Pine !wpm.
A. private letter from White Pine, Ne-
Vada, under date of May 22, states that
there was a great deal of sickness among
the miners and others in that region.
The smallpdx prevails there to a consid
erable extent, a large per tentage of the
cases resulting fatally. Pneumonia is,
however, the most common complaint,
and the writer advises persons with un
sound lungs to give the silver mountains .
of Nevada a wide berth. The mountains
were covered with a fresh mantle of snow,
and an incessant gale of wind was sweep
ing over them. Old miners, who have
traveled over the country from British
Columbia to Arizona, unhesitatingly pro
nounce White Pine the roughest country
they ever struck. The letter represents
that what White Pine most needs is cap
ital and mills. The country is rich in
minerals, but money is requisite
` to r de
velop Its wealth. Many ownersof val
uable claims are compelled to allow them
to remain unimproved on this account,
and it is almost impossible to induce cap
italists to pay therefor the value of the
precious metal actually in sight.

rebel, mourning his beloved dead. But
there are men so diabolically mean, that

sin„ Such a one lives in Wayne, Michi

violently opposed the decoration proceed
dugs, but was willing to, give twenty-five
dollars toward garlanding a rebel's grave,
and said he "would like to erect a monu
ment•to J. Wilkes Booth, as large as the,
depot wood piles, composed of the skulls
of Union soldiers." The wretch would
be ridden out of any decent rebel village.
He is a copperhead Democrat.

The - Rear Zreek and Shenatigo QalleT
Railroad will be in operation this summer.
The iron for the - track is now all on tke
ground, and a considerable amount of
the rolling stock is ready for use. Of
this stock, the Erie Oar Works supply
fifty coal cars.'
Negotiations for the 'right of way to
Oit City, bytheJamestown and Franklin
Railroad
Company
are progressing satis
factorily, and an early completion of this
much needed extension is confidently ex
pected.
Work has been commenced in earnest
on the railroad bridge scrota the Ohio
river at Parkersburg. The Gazette, of
that city, says:
Most of the hands, about fifty in, num;
ber, are employed on the piers, in the I
river. The summer will probably carry I
all of them above high water. We per
ceive that the Ohio Legislature_ passed an
act forbidding the building of bridges
across the river of a less span than 400
feet. We cannot exactly see where that
law will be effective, as West Virginia
owns the river to low water mark from
near Pittsburgh to the Kentucky line,
over 800 miles.
The bill to appropriate one million dol
lars to complete the Western Maryland
Railroad to Williamsport, which sonic
days ago passed the First . Branch of
the Baltimore Councils, passed the
the Second Branch of the City Council
by eight yeas to two nays, with some
trifling amendments which will be un
animously acceeded to in the First
Branch of the Council. The approval
of :Mayor Banks is certain. There
is considerable rejoicing over the pros
pective passage of the measure, which
insures the completion of the road in at
least six months.
The valley of the Shenango is alive
with the ever busy hand of the coal miner
and thrifty farmer, and eve.ryliatalet pre
sents to your view its huge mimic stacks
with their lurid glare of - Amy furnaces
beneath. -
The construction of the Edema Pitts
burgh Railroad, traversing is it does, the
valley from one end to the other, and
having connections with all the coal
mines, has had a great deal to do in
bringing into existence the many new
manufacturing establishments, and en
larging the capacity of the older ones. It
Supplies the furnaces with Lake Superior
ore, which is shipped from its docks at
Erie, and again carries the Manufactured
products and the surplus of coal mined
to an ever, ready market, thus doing a
large and profitable business.
The road bed for a new one, is in a
much better condition than expect
ed, and improvements axe being daily
made, awl if we judge aright the spirit
of the Board of Directors, it will be in a
short time equal to the best of roads..
The rolling stock is of superior qua lity,
and sufficiently ample for the large and
constantly inereasing business.
THE lowa Northunt, in describing a
visit to the State Agricultural College,
says: "The' labor system, which has
failed at so many similar institutions, has
been inaugurated here with complete sue;
cess. The students perform their two
hours' work .each day with a - degree of
cheerfulness and zeal that is extremely
gratifying to the entire faculty, all of
whom are firm believers in the system.
The recitations occupy the forenoon of
each day, the afternoon being devoted to
labor, recitation and study. The labor is
performed by dividing the students into
squads, each under the direction of a cap
tain, who receives the. tools from the tool
' house, directs the labor of his company,
keeps a record of the time, quality of the
work, and reports to the President in
writing."
FRED. S. JAMISON, of Columbus, 0.,
