Crushed to Death.
*Yesterday morning Charles Butler, an

to his death in a very painful manlier.
Rd was engaged about one of 'the large

the St. Tanis Water Works, when the
immense casting, weighing about five
tons, by some accident turned over,
cittching him underneath, breaking his
neek and crushing him to _death instant
ly. The deceased was a native of Eng
land, disont forty-flve years of age, and
had been working at the foundry about
three years. None of 'his relatives or
-friends are, living in this country, so far
_ Cnilid he ascertained. Coroner Claw
son held an inquest upon the remaimi,
when a verdict of accidental death was
rendered, after which they were taken
in charge by Mr. W. H. Devore, who will
bury them this morning at the expense
of the Company.
Robbed While Asleep.
,
Monday evening Mr. John Duffey, a
sesident of Newark, New Jersey, while
On the train returning home from a
business tritAo Ohio, was robbed of his
gold watch and a pocket book contain
-tag .forte five dollars: in 'caslie and his
ticket. He had:taken the express train
-on
,the Pittsbuzgb, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad at Mount 'Vernon,
Chlo, and, being tired and sleepy, took a
nap in the'bar, there being but three or
four passengers with him at the time.
Yesterday morning, upon arriving at the
"Union Depot, he discovered his loss, but
fokm no idea of the rascal who
made him a victim. 'The watch was
taken from his vest and the pocket book
--from his pants pocket. The time piece;
together with the chain, was worth be
-itween three and four hundred dollars,
land'was especially valued by Mr. Duffey
because of its, being presented to his
father by the City Councils of New Or
leans: --He proceeded on hisjourney and
left the-matter in the hands of detectives,
although he has no hopes of- ever recov
ering the property.
'A Brutal Assault.
Yesterday evening about three o'clock,
one of the Lieutenants of the police, ac
comanied by !an officer, while. passing
down Penn street, near Twenty-seventh,
saw a man thrown or dragged violent, y
-cut of • a saloon, and left lying on the
sidewalk. Being some distance oft; at
the time, they hurried up and found the
man in a beastly state of intoxication,
and hls face and body gave evidence of
'rough usage. His clothes were torn and
bloody, and his face was braised, swollen
arid but in several places. They had him
placed in a wagon end, conveyed to the
lock-up, where it was discovered that his
pockets had been turned wrong side out"
and emptied of their contents.
The unfortunate creature was too
'drunk to speak, and consequently could
not tell hie 'name or anything connected
with the'circamstance. He is an Irish.

age, and was respectably clad: 'Whether

was plainly evident from his condition
and appearance. .
Always Fresh. •
One reason of the great success of gem.
pie's dry goods establilihment is the fact
that the goods on sale there are always
new and fresh, which is accounted for by
'the manner la - which the trade' is con-
Alucted. Every article brought into the
store last first marked down to the low

rabid, as - - pArchasers +quickly perceive
where they can get the best . bargains.

The interest manifested by the com

on the increase. The people generally
are anxious to know what course the

BEW EDIICATIWIAL ENTERPRISE.
PresbytertanVemale College—The Pre
' '. lin:unary Measures.
For some time past the practicability
of establishing a presbyterian Female
College in this vicinity has been under
consideration by some of the leading
members in that religions organization,
and last evening a public meeting was
held inthe lecture room of r the Second
Presbyterian Church (Re v. Dr. I'nward's)
to test the interest felt in the enterprise,
and institute measures for its establish
ment.
The meeting was organized at eight
o'clock, Geo. A. Berry. Esq., being called
to the and Mr. John S. Slagle ap
pointed Secretary. Rev. W. T. Beatty
opened the proceedings with prayer, af
ter which the Chairman read the call for
the meeting, as explanatory of its object.
The call in substance. set forth that
the necessity for the establishment
of a Female college of a high grade
to be under the control of the Presby
terian denomination was daily becoming
ore apparent; that the project had been
iscussed frequently, and that as an in
entive to active and immediate work
t e Presbyterian congregation at Shady
ide had subscribed the sum of $20,000 for
he building of the same, which, ac
rding, to estimates made, was about
nafifth of the amount needed to corn-.
lete the enterprise.
Following the reading of the call, the
ev. W. T. Beatty, of the Shady Side
li urch t offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That for the following reas
ns we regard an institution of the
naracter suggested, in the highest de
ree desirable. First—That the standard"
f female education in our city and
ommunity maybe elevated. Second—
That the same advantages for obtaining
a thorough classical educa tion may be
brought within-the reach f the young
p
women of our commu nity, as those
which are now enjoyed by our young
men. Third—That the means of obtain.
ing a finished education may, be brought
within the reach of the largest number
possible. Fourth—That Presbyterians
may control the education 2 , their
daughters.
ResOlved, That we therefore earnestly
recommend this important enterprise to
the liberality of the people.
Resqlved, That we recommend the ap
pointment of a financial agent, and a
committee from eacheo.overative church,
to assist said agent in canvassing their
respective congregations.
Resolved, That the Revs. Seovel, Noble
and Reid be appointed a Committee to
employ an agent, appoint the other Com
mittees referred to, and assist in what
ever may be pos sible in carrying into
effect the object at which we aim.
Considerable discussion ensued upon
the adoption of the resolutions.
It was suggested that Revs. Swift and
Beatty, be added to the Central Com
mittee. •
Rev. Swift said ha did not desire to be
a member of the committee. He was
heartily in favor of the project, and felt
that It should be carried outbut a similar
idea had been advanced in Allegheny,
which might lead to the organization of
an excellent institution there. If this
movement progressed, he telt that he
must lend his aid to its advancement, al
though he did not wish to be considered
as antagonistic to a school as proposed in
the resolutions. . - •
Mr. Slagle had the same feeling in ref
erence to - a scheol in. Allegheny, where
he resided, and where he thought a good
institution of learning was needed. He
:thought, hey/ever, there was ample room'
for both institutions. He favored the 1
idea of making:the school as proposed
in the - resolutions, of the highest
order 'of merit, a “finishing school"
where ail who desired to corn.
plete an education might be afford
ed the greatest facilities for so doing.
He felt ready to lend his influence and
pecuniary support to such an institution,
while at the same time he labored as
earnestly for the establlshment'of an in
stitution in Allegheny, which might
either be as ii preparatory department to
the main organization br equal it if. pro
perly supported, strtl found to be ne
cessary.
Rev. Mr.' Beatty said the church. at
Shady Side had proposed their donation
of $20,000 for the enterprise, upon the
condition that the school-be located at
that point. There were others, however,
who would subscribe to the 'fund, and If
they desired a different location, the
matter could easily be arranged. The
Presbyterians at Shady Side in making
their offer, held as their'first and prima
ry object the establishment - ot a first
grade educational institution, and were
willing to make any reasonable conces
sion, in reference to the minor details.
Mr. Renshaw, as a member of the
,Shady Side 'Congregation, concurred in
the idea that a good school was the first
object of the Shady Side people in dons.
ting their money. They
_wanted an in
stitution which would afford every facil
ity for a finished and thorough educa
tion, and do away with the necessity
which now existed of sending, their
daughters to schools under the control of
other tienominatiens, or sending them
away from home and atgreat expense, to
high grade Presbyterian 'schools else
where. He thought the money might be
raised and the location made afterwards.
Rev. Mr. Swift thought every sub
scriber would first want to know the
location, and that this would determine
in a measure his subscription.
Rev. Mr. Schriver said it good plan
Would be to announce that the district
raising the most money would have the
choice of locating the. College. This
would cause a spirit of emulation in the
matter, and have the effect of getting the
funds secured much sooner. He had
tried this plan in establishing a college
in New Jersey and raised ten thousand
dollars and ten acres ofitind in two days,
where,_etherwise, five hundred dollars
could not have been raised.
After some further brief remarks,
Revs. Swift and Beatty were added to
the Central Committee, and the resolu
tions unanimously adopted. :
The Committee was then instructed to
employ the agent, appoint the remaining
Committees and proceed with the work
immediately, after which the meeting
adjourned.

Larceny at a Boarding Howe.
Yesterday morning 'a young mar,
boarding at - a house in the Third ward,
Allegheny, went to his day's labor, leav
ing behind his pocket-book 'containing
twenty dollars, whit he had placed un
der his pillow when retiring the night
before. 3 He discovered in about an hoar
the absence of his parse, and returned
to the house only to discover it Wising,
somebody having stolen it in the mean-;
time. He at once suspected the serval*:
girl who had cleaned the room after his
departure, but she emphatically de-:
nied all knowledge of the. affair.
The pocket-book was subsequently found!
iu the cesspool cpnnected with the preen
,ices, but only contained seventeen dolma
lam Not satistied with the girl's state.;
ment, the loser made information before
Mayor Dram against her for_lexceny, but
on a hearing of the case ..she was __dia.:
charged, the evidence being insufficient
to warrant her detention. Subsequently
she appeared at the Mayor's office' and
confessed having taken the pocket-hook .
and used the three dollars, but as the
prosecutor had gone out o f city by
this timeshe was not rearrested, and the
Mayor dismissed her with a timely lec
ture. - •

day,- remarked to`us that "in no city

Pittsburgh." Upon inquiry we' ascer
tained that the aforesaid gentleman had

?where he despatched one of the excel
