Interesting Particulars.
Saturday afternoon another meeting of
the Monumental Association ) was held at
the rooms of the Young Me ' s Christian
Association, Fifth avenue, for the pur
pose of taking action in reference to the
selection of . a ,alte and instituting the
preliminary steps towards accomplishing
the work undertaken.
The meeting was organized by calling
Mrs. R. Robinson to the chair and ap
pointing the usual Secretaries.
The following members were present:
Mrs. R. Robinson, Mrs. Samuel l&ollee,
Mrs. M. S. Johns, Mrs. B. Preston, Mrs.
Q. - A. Scott, Mrs. John Barton, Mrs. H.
H.. Mann, Mrs. C. C. Smile, Miss Mary
Galway and Miss Annie Stewart.
, • REPORTS OP &MUTTERS.
Mrs. Pearson presented the draft of a
Constitution and By-Laws for the govern
ment of , the Association as prepared by
the Committee appointed for that pur
pose at the last meeting. •
After some discusaion the paper as
unanimously adopted..
The report of the Committee appointed
to _visit the various sites proposedlor the
monument was next called for. •
NO REPORT.
There was some difficulty in getting a
report from the Committee. The mem
bers were. present, but no one seemed
ready with either a verbal or written
statement of _the conclusions arrived at
by the Committee.
Mrs. Smile staked If the Committee
were not-appointed to visit the different
sites proposed and,' if so, - if they had
attended to their business. She thought
some report should be made of the ad
vantages offered by either place in order
that the eta:iodation might be prepared
to act.
Miss Galway was of the same opinion.
She wished to know• what the Committee
had seen, what had been proposed, • and
what they thought best to be done.
Mrs. Preston finally, in behalf of the
Committee reported they had visited Al
legheny Park, Second Avenue Park and
Allegheny Cemetery, either of these
plaZes presented some advittitageS, but
the Committee after due reflection had
found no reason to change their previous
opinion in favor of Allegheny Cemetery,
which they accordingly recommended
as the moat suitable site.
Mrs. Galway—Well, that to me, looks
as if the site had been selected previ
ously, and - nothing could change the
result. The : report isn't full enough for
me. Ywant , to, know what were the
propositions made. I understand that
Allegheny City has offered ten thbusand
dollars cash, besides building the foun
dation for the Monument, and beautify
ing the grounds about it.
Min. Robinson—They did not make any
direct offer 0f.1.10,000, They said they
were prepared •to oantributely hand
somely in cash, beside the foundation.
We told them to send us in a direct offer
of the amount. We expected they would
do this, 4 tand then we could have some
thing to act upon.
Mies Stewart thought the report:of the
Committee should be received and the
Committee discharged before any further
discussion. The -report was then •on
motion received, and, the Committee dia.
charged.
"LET US VOTE."
A motionwaa now made - to proceed
with the vote.
Miss Gidway—Wtio have a right to
vote the Commiseloners named in
the charter, or just the Executive Com
mittee?
Chairman—All the twenty_ Commis
sioners named in the charter. The Sec
retary will read the charter on this point.
The section referring to the matter was
then read, which sustained the decision
of the Chair.
INTENEBII4O DU,LOGIIIi.
Mrs Sadie—Then I object to voting on
the question now. There are but 'eleven
of the Commissioners here, and T-think
it is very unjust to deprive them of their
votes by hasty action.
Chairmanlt'a not our fault they aro
not here. The meetingWaS called a week
ago, and everybody knew its object. :All
interested should have paid sOtention to
the matter. ,
Mrs. Mann—l don't thlthe case was
properly understood. \I a one of the,
Commissioners, but I did n t know until
to•day about this mee ins, hod that I was
entitled to a vote. the matter had
been properly nude = tood I know others
would have been her: to-day.
Mrs. Galway--I thi kit will be an out
rage if a vote is take : now; Nine mem
bers are absont. N notice has . been
given through the 0 etvspapers of this
meeting and its ob.) :,t, and I think the
business is alleged:he unfair and. wrong.
"BUSINERO Ii ORDER." '
Chairman—Well, • • les, it's no time
for talk. We' must • o something. ,We
can't delay any long a'.
The discussion he e took place upon
the merits of the di ii:rent sites proposed,
and was quite spirit d.
Mrs. Robinson fay :red Allegheny Cem

Miss Galwey thou. ht it no place at all.
The Monument onld be :built in a
place where at - all ti es it could be seen

place to put such memorial is where

bo i a .

look that way. But weciuff Welay any:
longer. If we intend to build the moao
ment we must do something toward it at
once. It has Wen delved' add under
consideration - for three yearif Mt*, and:
that ought to bi long enough. .
After some - further sharp discussion
the vote was finally taken upon the sites.
Eight votes were mat in favor of the Al
legheny Cemetery.-.,'Three ladles,
Mann, Mrs. Smite and Miss. Galway e
alined to vote. They characterized t e
affair as a farce, and emohatleally e
clared against being recorded in sucl:n
illegal proceeding.
The announcement of the resrilt ,
received in profound silence, which Was
broken at length by. .
Mrs. Mann—Well, it seems strange
such an important matter should be, de
cided by *lO few persons. It looks like a
partisan affair. It, should not be built in
any partisans. spirit. In a few yeara all
these party lines will be extinguished,
and then what will be thought 'of this
action.
Miss Galway—l won't have anything
to do in such a matter, and I now tender
my retdsmatlon as a member of that
august Committee of nine which has it
in charge. „ • •
Considerable sensation was created by
this announcement, and the lacy was
urged to reconsider her action. She
persisted, however, and avote was taken
on its reception, which was decided in
the negative. The lady, however, said
she would not hereafter consider herself
a member of the Committee, and"so the
cats rested.
PUELININABY PREPARATIOtI3.
The Chairman then announced as the
next business in order, the appointment
of a Banding Committee.
The following gentlemen were se
lected: Gen. A. Pearson ' Capt. Ws. B.
Cook, Mr. John Chialett, Mr. Clarence,
B. Johns.
Action was next taken on the adoption
of a design. It was stated that a design
had been adopted at a previous meeting.
On motion this action was confirmed.
_
The design selected was prepared by
Mr. Morganroth. It is one of three de
signs, seventy feet high with a spiral
stairway in the interior ascending to a
gallery twenty-nine feet from the ground.
The column is surmounted by a colossal
statue of a soldiea at “Parade Rest.'
The estimated cost of the design out of
the material proposed by the Association
is $28,000.
On motion, the Building Chmmittee
were instructed to immediately adver
tise for proposals for the erection of the
monument, and proceed with thq work
as rapidly as possible.
The Resignation of Miss Mottle Fowler,
as Secretai, of the Association was read,
and on motion accepted. Mrs. B. Pres
ton was elected to fill the vacancy.
A resolution was passed unanimously
tendering the thanks of the Association
to Gen. J. B. Sweitzer for his efforts in
securing entertainment for the soldiers'
orphans' from Uniontown on Decora
tion Doy.
The Association then adjourned to
meet at the call of the chairman.
About eight o'clock, Saturday night,
a cutting afiray of a lather serious char
acter occurred in the Ninth ward, on
Penn street, near the Niagara Engine
House, in which David Jones and'Henry
Coats were the principal actors. We
have heard two versions of-the affair, one
of which is mdst probably correct, as'
they both agree, except ae to who was
the attacking party. The first statement
is that Jones, having a grudge against
Coats, who is a member of the Niagara
Engine Company, was passing along
I Penn street, and seeing Gloats' standing
in the door made an attack upon him'
with a knife, inflicting a severe wound
in the right arm between the shoulder
and elbow. After receiving the wound,
Coatai it is stated, ran into the street and
picked - up a boulder, 'which he threw at
Jones, who dodged it, and the stone
struck, a young man orrthe oppoaite side
of the street. About thisjuncture of the
proceedings the police made their ap
pearance and Jones fled, taking refuge
in his father's house.
The other aide of the case is that Jones,
.having been up at a picnic that day, was
returning in company with hissister,and
when passing the Niagara engine house,
was attacked by Coats, who, without ex
changing words, ran into -the street,:
picked ups paving stone and threw it at
Jones',head, whereupon the latter started
to run and fell over a pile of atones on
the street. Coats, it is alleged, followed
him, and he then drew the knife and
used it in self defence.
This statement is vouched for by re
sponsible parties, and it appears the
most plausible as it is not probable that,
Jones, being alone, would attack Coate
at the engine house among his friends.
- No arrests have been made. This, we
learn is the third fight between these
parties.
The Cal 4. W. B. Donaldson Case
A Saturday telegram from St. Louis
says: Testimony was taken in the Don

crowded to excess, and a deep interest
was manifested in the • case. Mrs. Don

ture occurred at the St. James-Hotel Fri
day evening, resulting in the death of a
young lady, supposed to be from Julian
Station, on the -Pennsylvania Railroad,
Juniata county. The young lady sr
.
Wed in the 'city on the emigrant , train
about nine o'clock, and going to the St.
James Hotel, registered the name of
Emma Lithe. . She was conducted to
room No. 37, on the second floor, and Rio
presumed, retired snout half past ten
o'clock. She failed to make her appear
sum at breakfast, but the clerk supposed
her to be tired and sleeping.
During the forepart of the day there ,
was a strong smell of gas throughout
the house, and in examining through the
house to ascertain if there was a leak in
'any of the pipes, or if the gas had been
accidentally turned on 'in any of the
roomy, the'door of No. 37 was found to
be locked and the gas appeared to be es
caping from :that room. • Mr. Lanahan
knocked at the door, but received no
reply. A boy was called and.pntered the
room through the transom over the door,
and on _opening the transom found the
room so full of gas as to - render breath
ing a very difficult r matter. He suc
ceeded in opening the door, however,
when the young lady was found lying
on the bed breathing heavily and insen
sible. Drs. Shaw. and Duncan were
summoned immediately and did all in
their power to,, resuscitate the unfortu
nate girl, but without. avail. She lived
until about half-past eight o'clock Satur
day evening, when she expired.
The girl was from the country, and
probably knew nothing about gas, and
on retiring extinguished the blaze with
out turning off the gas. The windows,
door and chimney was closed, so that
there was but little, if any, means of es
cape for the gas.
The deceased was apparently not over
eighteen years of age. Coroner Clawson
was notified of her death and summoned
a jury, and after viewing the body the
inquest adjourned to meet .at seven
o'clock this evening. The body was re
moved to Devore's. on Grant street.
There was nothing found in the girl's
effects but four or five dollars in money
and a letter from a young man in Illinois

Among the many implements of mod
ern warfare. One would have supposed
mankind could! have found enough for
at least all ordinary occasions, and so
they may may, but for extraordinary oc
casions commensurate" measures are
necessary to ensure success. - A case of
this kind occurred Saturday in the his
tory of the lives of Patrick - Kelly and
John Crane, employes in theateel works
of Hussey, Wells,lt Co.. They had a lit—
tle dillicultyiat the works on- Saturday,
which, according - to Kelly's statement",
was temporarily hushed'up at the works,
but renewed again at his Warding house,
whither Crane had followed him. This
valiant gentleman, it is farther stated,
wishing to put au end to the conflict, and
disdaining ordinary weapons,seinal upon
a large cast iron spittoon and rapped his
opponent on the cranium two or three
times with it, inflicting a deep, wide gash,
from which the' blood flowed profusely.
The case was, however, not thus easily
settled, but will be arbitrated before Al
derman AlcMasterit '!'soon as Kelley's
injuries will allow hita , to attend, Crane,
in the meantime, being provided with
quarters by! Warden Scimdrett.
