gled. t!, : . ,
Yeeterday'afternoon a distressing actg.
cident *occurred , to a little girl, in Alba
,
g he e y. gh e wee eneaged.with her sister,
a year or two older, in picking up coal on
the railroad crossing of the Fort Wayne
road, at North avenue. Trains were
passing backward and forward at inter=
vale, and the switch tender observing the
children ordered them away. They fail
ed to heed his demand and continued
their employment ,with apparently no
fear of danger. The little girl, aged about
ten years, was standing on the track
when a train approached, and to avoid it
she stepped aside to the other track. At
this instant a train coming from an oppo
site direction, which she had not observ-
Watrucit and,knocked her down, with
one leg over:the rail and the other foot
resting upon it. The wheels in an in
stant passed over, severing the leg just
below,the knee and cutting several tow
off the foot. 'She was picked up immedi
ately'and conveyed in an insensible con
dition the house near by; when &phy
sician was summoned. After her in
juries had been attended as well as the
circumstances of the case would permit,
thekvictiz a l li was taken tQ her home in the
Eighth! ,; Allekhenni•where she at
Present lies in a precarious condition.
Her eadepe . from !Patent death-ins mar
vel, but itia,t feared the injuries will
prove Ilitat We could not ascertain her
name. No blame for , the accident is at
tached to any person connected with the
railroad, as the girls had been warned of
the danger and commanded to leave the
vicinity several times.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Clawson
held an inquest on the body of Micheal
McCarthy who died from the effects of a
fall. , 'The deceased boarded at §ehmer
er's hotel'on Ohio street near East Lane.
Third ward, Allegheny. Last Monday
evening he rttlred to his room in an in
toxicated condition, but during the
night attempted to get doWn stairs again,
in doing so he fell from the head of tne
flight to the foot, and struck the lower
landing with his head, causing his skull
to be fractured. He was picked up, and
a physician dulled in . The next morn
ing he.was rnmoved to Mercy Hospital,
where he suffered, until Thursday eve
ning at six o'clock, death at that time
coming to his relief. Froidtlie time' he
was harts_until - he died, he was in a
comatose state; .
Dr: liraattear, the attending physician,
watt examined and testified that death
resulted from concussion of the brain,
and the jury so rendered their verdict.
Deceased was a widower, and so far as
oonld be ascertained he bad no friends
in this vicinity. He had been boarding
at the hotel named about four weeks
when the accident occurred.
James Stewart was before Mayor Drum
again yesterday. James has been there
several times. Some smoke ado , he was
arrested, tried and acquitted. of robbing
a grocery store in Allegheny. Yesterday
he was charged with stealing a pair of
gaiters from Mr. Henry Wagoner, pro
prietor of a shoe store in the Sixth ward,
Allegheny. He entered the store, it is
alleged, examined several pairs of
gaiters and went out without buying.
A pair ,of the iters wa missed
simultaneously alm ga ost -with s
his dis
appearance. Mr. Wagoner started In
pursuit and overhauled him with the
gaiters in liishas' dry goods store, a
short 'distance away. He was imme
diatelyiuxested and taken to the look-up.
When searched a pair of ! outsiders"
was found upon him. At - the hearing
he was fully. identified by Mr. Wagoner,
who had made an information against
him, and by Mr. Niehas. In default
of 11,000 bail the Mayor , committed him
on a charge of larceny.

Row at a Circus.
Last night shoat nine o'elook a party
of roughs attempted to break Into Noyes'
circus, which is on exhibition in East
Biimingham. They were prevented by
the doorkeeper. and immediately com
menced an onslaught oa the establish
ment. Stones, bricks and clubs were
freely used, and for a time affairs were
lively. At length the proprietor of
the circus finding ex : postulation in
vain, fired into the crowd, wounding
one man, and causing thb other cowards
to quickly disperse. The wounded man
was abot through the arm bat not dan
gerously Injured. The affair created
gieat'excitement for a tithe, and feels of
a great riot were entertained. It is said
this is the third or fourth depredation
committed by the roughs in the South
Side during the past week. The police
are powerless to stop them.
Trouble About a Note.
L. Malone: made information before
Alderman McMasters, yesterday, against
James K. Armstrong for false pretence.
Armstrong is a cigar dealer on Fifth
Avenue. It is alleged that he persuaded
the prosecutor to endorse a note for two
hundred dollars by representing that he
would tarn over as secunty a certain
number of shares in a Building and Loan
Association, which he failed to do. 'I he
note was p rotested and Malone is held
for the amount. The accused was com
mitted to jail in default of bail for a
hearing on Monday.
Three Citisens.--Herman Hopfield,
Benjaman Bowers and John Cash were

Herman behaved very improperly at a

,of the neighoorhood." West street,
in the Third ward, about the samstime
was the scene of Benjamin's operations.
He managed to. drive sleep away from

The LlveryMadertaker Wfir-QV
Mnssns .Enrrons: We do, not propose
entering into any discussion on the
merits of the controversy now going on
in the daily press between the livery
stable•proprietors and the undertakers;
but we feel that it is clearly oar duty to
ourselves and the public, to present a
fair and impartial statement of the case,
and let the public draw their eon in
ferences. Several years ago a protection
union was established in this City by the
proprietors of the various livery stables,
and, by resolution, the price of five
dollars per carriage was established
as the regular and universal rate
for funerals. Where the undertakers
hired the vehicles, and thereby became
themselves personally responsible for
the hire, a discount of ten per cent. was
allowed off these rates to them, just in
the same manner as any merchant or
dealer allows a percentage to his agent,
provided the payment is guaran
teed or assumed! by, the later .'
So long as the j demand - for car
riages was greater than the supply and
the number of livery stables less than
that of the undertakers, this rule wor ken
admirably, although, the undertakers
were by no means responsible , for the
high rates, as they were completely in
the hands of the carriage owners, who
controlled the matter to suit theniaelves.
Oflate, the 'prollpelity of livery stable
keepers led other men of meats dud
capital into the busies* and the supply
9f carriages became suddenly largely in
excess of the demand. The undertak
e* outnumbered by the livery stable
men, found it utterly impossible to be
stow upon all a *hare of their patronage,
The result was that the business elsome
languished, and in self-protection they
withdrew from the LiverjilLeeners' All3O.
elation to act independently of its rules
and regulations and to "cut tinder" in
prices In order to attract a share of the
patronage to their own doors. This led
to a general breaking upof rates, andthe
very gentlemen who had exacted to the
last cent the full five dollars, less ten
par cent. commission, from undertakers
for funeraloarriages, entered into a com
bination to breakdown their dissenting
members and established a Union stable,
where carriages for funerals were hired
at two dollars each. The public neces
sarily thought the difference between
the rates of undertakers and the lat
ter was clear profit.. The under
takers were thus made rest under
the imputation of extorting high rates
when evidence was furnished that there
was no business necessity for so doing
in the acts of the livery stable combina
tion to punish late membersof their own
association, by breaking them down in
their low rate experiment, by establishing
such extremely low prices. We are
willlng and anxious that funerals
should be conducted at as low a price
as possible, and can only desire
that the public may not be im
posed upon by exorbitant rates, or
yet that the livery men may be forced to
hire oat at prices which entail actual
losses to themselves. We are outside the
conflict, and can afford to await its final
development, but cannot afford to accept
may responsibility or be made parties in
a business trouble entirely beyond our
control and outside our province.
Allegations have been made, rashly
and imprudently, that we have enor
mous profits on coffins, and figures have
been published in attempt to prove the
amnion. While these have been greas
ily exaggerated. still we do not deny that
our profits are reasonably large, but it
will be remembered that we make no:
charges for the .profassional services.
time and attention reqeired in
attending the details of a bur
ial other than those embraced in
the ostensible profit on the coffin which
is made cover a number of details not
necessary to itemize, but which aro fa
miller to those who have ever required
our services In their families, and which
in no view can bellaid to be extortionate
or unjust.
We will pay no attention to any future
attacks or charges made On undertakers
by livery gable keepers, knowing that
there would be no complaint; were we
able to equally divide 'our patronage
with all engaged in that bnainesa and
contribute in that *ay to their pros
perity. We regard our ..prontsidon one
too solemn in its nature to be made fig
ure' in a warfare through newspapers,
and believing that the 'public will take
no stock in the vile charges made against
U 9 from any , source, we here let the mat
ter rest for once and for 'all.

Casilaree—Entenow— : • of a
PUtsbakjeli misporting Foil;
liSre have fecielved from Messrs. Hoff
man.t Hale, the extensive, popular and
well known importers and dealers in mu
sical goods, a copy of s handsomely print
ed and neatly bound pamphlet catalogue
or inventory, of the importations and do
mestic merchandise kept for sale in their
wholesale and retail departments. Pos
sibly not more two or three houses
in the country have expended so much
enterprise in this direction, and certainly
none could excel the beautiful and com
plete specimen laid upon our .desk. It
wiU be found an invaluable auxiliary to
the dealer and merchant in making out
his orders, as the various grades of goods
are reported eyestmatically, carefully
classified, and have the wholesale
prices attached. Thus a merchant out
of the city can forward his
order and have it filled as satisfacto
rily as if be personally visited the mam
moth music store and made his selection_
from its large stock. Few readers who
pay much or any attention to the impor
tation statistics of oar city, have proper
idea of the extent of the business trans
acted by Messrs. Hoffman At Hale with
leading corresponding houses of Europe.
They have had years of experience and
large facilities in importing fresh from
foreign manufacturers and enter into di
rect competitiono3ot with houses that buy
from the first hands of the sea-board
cities, but with the first hands them
selves. Mcusical goods are offered at
wholesale here at the same prices, and
in a majority of cases sc much lower fig
ures, than prevail at the importing
houses of the east. This fact should be
remembered by those who buy abroad,
as the item'of freight alone on musical
goOds is a considerable one which 'can
be saved to themselves and patrons.
The catalogue quotes all the musical
instruments known to the trade, from
the elegant grand square piano or power
ful organ down to the delicate zither or
tiny Jew's harp, and is likewise a faith
ful compendium of all the standard and
classical musical literature. The pam
phlet is intended for gratuitous circula
tion; and while thousands have already
been distributed to correspondents, the
supply is unlimited, and those desiring
to secure a copy can do so by making ap
plication at the store, Opera House build
ing, No. 60 Fifth avenue. This house oc
cupies front place among those in the
same line of ;rade in the country, and
their palatial establishment is stocked
throughout with an immense variety of
musical goods of all descriptions, which
are offered at wholesale and retail, at
prices lower than can elsewhere be ob
tained for goods of similar grade and su
periority. The firm are the agents for
DO less than thirty piano manufacturers,
the most prominent of which is the fa
mous Dunham I Son, whose instruments
are now occupying- such high place in
public favor. We commend this much
appreciated and well conducted house to
our readers, and bespeak for its enter
prising, fair dealing and go-a-headative
proprietors that large share of patronage
they so eminently merit.
If we take 1,000 individuals with $250
each, all experience shows that for every
one of them that accumulates a fortune,
or even a competency, ten or twenty will
die with nothing, and leave their fam
ines in poverty. This comes of the
"every man Himself' idea. Now let
tliese 1,000 men put their money into a
common fund, and at six per cent, it will
pay the heirs of every one of than one
tAouiancl dollars at his death, and there
will be a surplus left when the last man
is dead. If instead of $250 they contrib.
nate $3OO it will establish a permanent
fund, which will not only pay their
immediate heirs, but will also give $l,OOO
to the heirs ayt one of the decendants of
each of them in every generation vote

- It is said that the proprietors of the
celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS tent
no less than nine pews from the differ
ent denominat.ons In New York city for
all those of their employes who will oc
cupy them regularly, - free of charge.
This is certainly praiseworthy, and it is
to be hoped that others who employ a
large number of people will follow the
example. The above fact, accompanied
with the belief that a firm who would
look so closely after the morals and
welfare of their employes, would not
undertake to Impose upon the public,
has induced us to give the PLANTATION
Btrrsns a trial, and having found them
all they were represented, we cordially
recommend them as alonto . of rare mer
