I trace of his whereabouts. •
Alleged Larceny.—George Ewing, pro.
prietor of a saloon on Penn street, yester
day made information before the Mayor
charging Eliza Jane Johns and another
woman with larceny. -It appears that the
women formerly were working for Mr.
Ewing, and a few weeks since left sud
denly without eying him any notice. A
few days after they had taken their de
parture one of the boarders missed a suit
of clothes, which Mr. E. accuses the girls
of stealing. The suspicion. may be well
fotinded, but the clothing stolen being
male attire, we are unable to discover
what use they would put it to or what
would induce them to steal it.
Disorder's; House.--Joseph Wirt made
information before the Mayor yesterday,
charging Mrs. Pryor with keeping a die
orderly house. The defendant and prose
cutor, it appears, occupy apartments in
one house on Fayette street, the former on

and there being but one entrance to the
building, it is necessary for the prosecu
tor to ptuis through one room of the de.
feudal:it's apartment to reach his own.
He alleges that persons of ill repute visit
the louse. A warrant was issued and
Mrs. Pryor and a girl who, it appears
occupies the house with her, were arrest:.
ed and locked up for a hearing.

Sudden Death—Coroner's Inquest.
Coroner Clawson was yesterday called
upon to hold an inquest on the body of
Jennie Morrison, who died suddenly in
the house of a colored man, on Arthurs
street, near - Wylie. It appears that she
had been unwell for some tinae, but not
dangerously ill, and yesterday about two
o'clock in the afternoon, While at work
she had an attack of hemorrhage, which
resulted fatally in a few moments. The
jury returned a verdict in acoordance
with the facts. The deceased was about
thirty-two years of age, and has been in
this city over twelve years. during all of
which time she has led .a life of sin and
shame. The body was taken in charge
by a fenaale friend, who intends to have it
decently interred.

PITTSI3UIIGH.. GAZETTE: THURSDAT, AUGUST 19, 1869,
A - Deteetive Beaten.
We published in our issue of yesterday
a notice of the. arrest of George Warntr
on a charge of larceny. The information ,
upon which the warrant for his arrest
was based, was made by Officer Keep,
and
he robbery was perpetrated in the
store of Mr. Philip Graff, No. 58 Market
It is alleged that he got posses
sion of the keys of the store and had
duplicates made, by means of which he
scould enter the store at night and carry
off silks and other valuable goods, which
he would sell during the day. Be was
committed to jail in default of $2,500 bail
Din
for a hearing
There is another point in the case
which would indicate that detectives as
well as "common men," and even as
Chief n e arslice, may be beaten by a thief.
It app that Warner, on Thursday
of last week, called at .Eaton's trimming
store, on Fifth avenue, and offered some
silks for gale. Mr. Eaton, after examin
ing the goods and learning the price,was
fully convinced that they had been sto
len, as they were offered at less than
would payl the duty on them. He, how
ever, agreed to take the lot and sent
Warner after more, promising to take
his entire Stock, but was careful not to
pay him any money. -As soon as the fel
low left, M. Eaton sent for officer Long,
one of the pdayor's detectives, to whom
he stated the case and requested Mr. Long
to arrest__ the silk merchant, who had
promised to return that evening for his
money. The officer waited, but his man
did not come, and at the request of Mr.
Eaton, officer Long returned to the store
next morning and about nine o'clock
succeeded in arresting Warner. He was
taken to the Mayor's office and examined
by Chief Hague, who after hearing the
fellow's plauaible story, notwithstand
ing he had sold the goods at less than
they could be purchased for if they had
been smuggled, or at even less than
would pay the duty upon them, discharg
ed him. "Some old birds are caught
with chaff."
Officer Keep deserves credit for the
adroit manner in which he worked up
.he case.
The Executive Committee held Its re
gular weekly meeting last night, and
further steps were taken towards making
the festival a' grand success. If the
weather be line the Iron City Park is en
gaged for a grand picnic, but if the
- weather prove - unpleasant, a grand
peoples' festival, such as are common in
Germany, will be held in Turners'
Hall. In the evening a banquet is to be
held in Turners' Hall. Mr. Vaux, the
Grand Master of Pennsylvania Masons,
is to be invited to lay the corner-stone
with the Masonic ceremonials which are
so impressive. In order to have time for
this, and the picnic also. the procession
Will start from Turners' Hall punctually

of the city haveivisions been

the Park Commissioners. Altogether
the affair s u c cess, o promise not only to be
a grand s but a demonstration
such as has rarely been equalled in our
city, and one in every way worthy of the
occasion.

Coroner's Inquest
Coroner Clawson, yesterday held an
inquest on the body of Johu Brennan,
who died suddently at nis residence in
the Eighth ward,-Allegheny. It uproars
that some months since Brennan was
insured by an accident on a railroad to,
such an extent as to render the amputa
Lion of one of his lege necessary, which
operation was preformed by Dr. John
Dickson. Subsequently it became ne
cessary to make a second amputation,
and on Tuesday Dr. Dickson pre-
Pared the patient for the operation
Chloroform was administered, but in
about a minute atter, and before a tea
spoonful of ,the liquid had been used,
the patient gave a convulsive movement,
and his circulation stopped. Efforts
were instantly made to renew circula
tion, but in vain, and iu another mo
ment breathing had stopped, and the
man was dead. A post morton examiu.
ation was made by Dr. Dickson, and it
was found that the man died of paraly
sis of the heart, induced by the sedative
action of the chloroform. A verdict to
that effect was rendered. Deceased yins
fifty-four years of age, and leaves a ;Wife

Public Schools, announcing the pro.
gramme of the next meeting of the Pitts
burgh Teachers' Institute, to be held at
Ralston School Rouse, commencing at
two o'clock of the afternoon of the 23d

names of many of our most proficient and
leading educators, and we daresay the
occasion will be highly interesting and
instructive. The exercises will be inter.

Rowdyism.
Already several of the seats in the
Allegheny Park have been broken by
parties who seem to have an idea that
they were put there for nothing but to
be destroyed. Thus far the guilty par
ties have not been arrested, but If any of
the offenders can be secured they will be
severely dealt with. Mayor Drum is de
termined that nothing of the kind shall

Deputy Mayor Cartwright's office, loca
ted in East Liberty, is one of the busiest
places for police matters in tho - city, and
the gebial deputy has his haniis pretty
full all the time. Yesterday was an il
lustration of the way in which the busi
ness is disposed of. He had the follow
ing b:fare
George Cisco was arrested on an infor
mation for, false pretence, and held for a
hearing. ,
Frank ,Baxter, was arrested for as

cue, and Striking him on the head. This
sort of billiards was not relished by
Henry hence the suit. Frank settled
the case by paying the costs of prosecu
tion.
Mrs. Dinsmore alleged that Henry
Kellar called her a variety of obscene
names, for which Henry was arrested
and fined, on a charge of disorderly con
duct. As an offset for this little litiga
tion, Anna Dinsmore, a daughter of the
former prosecutrix, was arrested for act
ing disorderly by applying abusive epi
thets to Mrs. Kellar. She paid a tine.
James Dolan was charged with throw
ing down Mrs. Dwyer's steps: He was
fined, and upon payment discharged.
Henry Shauch while acting slightly
disorderly was arrested and fined.
Henry Wharton, it was alleged, struck
Mrs. Shanch in the face. He shared a
similar fate with the others, and depart
ed with the same exalted idea of the
majesty of justice.
The High School.
At a meeting of the Central Board of
Education held recently, the resignation
of Miss Agnes C. Way, teacher of free
hand drawing, was presented and ac
cepted and the matter of selecting a
teacher to fill the vacancy was referred
to the Committee on High School. The
Committee held a meeting yesterday
when Miss M. E. Fitzsimmons was
elected to fill the vacancy. Miss Fitz-
simmons is from the Pittsburgh School,
of Design ; for Women, and is a lady of
excellent accomplishments for the posi
tion. The Committee also voted to re -
commend the employment of another
teacher, and procuring an additional
room for the High School, and that pro
vision be made for teaching the 'German
and French languages in the school.
They authorized the purchase of survey
ing and engineering instruments, and
the carrying out of an appropriation of
5200, made by a former Board, for the
enlargement of the library.

Bad Tenant.
• Generally-it is understood that tenants
should leave houses occupied by them in
as good condition as when they entered,
or at leaat no unnecessary exertions
should be made to put them out of order.
Thera are tenants however who dont seem
to appreciate this matter, among whom,
it Is said Mrs. Ann McConnell is number
ed. ed. She scout ed that reputation lately,
by renting Who se of J. C. McCarthy, oc r '
cupying it but a short time and leaving
it according to cCart tty's allegations, in
an exceedingl dilapidated condition,
even going so far as to tear down the
doors and am the windows previous to
her departure. This is Said to have oc
cured a day or two since and yesterday
Aldermat4McMasters, at McCarthy's in
stance, issued a warrant for the arrest of
Mrs. McConnell for malicious mischief.
Point Activities
Yesterday was the occasion chosen by
Mrs. Mary Nee and Mrs. Margaret King
for exchanging the compliments of the
seascn. Their mutual exchanges led to
a rather unpleasant termination. Mrs.
King was required to appear before Al
derman /lumbers. where she discovered
that Mrs. Nee, having taken offence at
her remarks, had instituted proceedings
against her. She was charged with act
ing in a disorderly manner. A spirited
and refreshing discussion ensued be-'
tween the ladies, relative to the respec.
the merits of thethselveg, families and
pedigree, which was finally interrupted
by the Magistrate, whose judicial intel
lect had discovered that both were some
what to blame, and clearly entitled to
pay half the costs each. The case was
thus settled.
Toe language of nature and experi
ence demonstrates that whoever would
enjoy the pleasures of food, the beauties
of landscape, the joys of companionship,
the riches of literature, or the honors of
station and renown, must preserve their
health. The effect of foul, injurious food,
entering the stomach, is to derange the
digestive, organs and produce headache,
loss of appetite, unreiresbing sleep, low
spirits, feverish impinge. etc. which are
the symptoms of that horrid disease,
Dyspep.sia, Which assumes a thousand
shapes,. and points toward a miserable

Multitudes of persons, compelled to stay
at home during the "heated term" to at
tend to business and other duties, bie
away to some nook in the country to
spend a quiet Sunday. Saturday trains
are'usually crowded owing to this fact, at
least those on the Pennsylvania railroad,
as we witnessed on , a brief trip to the
mountains last Saturday.
At Latrobe we found the town all , agogs
especially in the neighborhood of the ho
tel at the railroad station, owing to the
presence.of a company gathered in the in
terest of the Covode•Foster Congressional
contested case. The telitimony of several
persons was taken, all of which was de
cidedly damaging to Foster's prospects
and favorable to Covode. Mr. Covode
was present and looked gratified at the
turn things were taking in his behalf.
The old veteran seems to be in good trim

This town is thrifty and shows signs of
progressiveness. There appears to be
considerable business transacted, and
quite a number of manufacturing inter
ests are in full blast. Numerous build
ings have been recently erected, among
which are two or three churches. The
place is decidedly cozy, and cannot be
seen to advanta e unless visitors will

Bishop Domene the able and popular
Catholic Bishop o this diocese, was in
Latrobe a short ti e, having been at the
Institution some ris les off. The Bishop is
the very picture i? health, and always at
work In advancing the interests of his
Church. Persons cannot well help ad
miring the suavity of his manners and
happy looking countenance. We sup
pose the Bishop will soon be leaving for
Rome to attend the great Council at the
Vatican. Other: dioceses have put well
filled purses in the hands of their Bishops
to enjoy tho trip. Bishop • Baley, of
Newark, is an instance, who received a
gift of five thousand dollars for this pur
pose, and the well-to-do-communicants of
Pittsburgh Diocese will not be behind

and here and there some new improve
ment is in progress. The laying of a
double track is one of the commeudable
features of the road. It is hardly neces
sary to mention that this part of the road,
so admirably managed and in such nice
order, extending from Pittsburgh to Al
toona, is under the superintendence of
our good friend, • Robert Pitcairn, Esq.,
who also has the supervision of the
Western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Blairs
ville and Tyrone Branches. The condi
tion of his district speaks volumes of
praise.
At nearly every point, Blairsville
Junction, Johnstown and Cresson,
Pittsburgers left the train to enjoy rural
Measures. Quite a number stopped at
Cresson to reinforce the already large
crowd of guests at the Mountain House.
This popular mint so admirably kept by
Mr. George W. Mullin, was overflowing
ly full, mostly with Pittsburgers. Every
room was occupied, and the owners of
the cottages generously tendered all ac
commodations to their friends to the ut
most extent of their ability. This need
not prevent visitors, however, from
going to Cresson; as guests are coming
and going all thetime. Among the cot
tage residents from Pittsburgh, are Wm.
Thaw and family, Mrs. Jones and thralls ,
James O'Hara and family, B. H. Painter
and family, A. S. Bell and family, W. S.
Barnes and family, G. B. Ed
wards and family, D. E. Park
and family. A. E. W. Painter and
tamily, T. 0. Messier and family, and
others. We believe•some Philadelphians
also have cottages Quite a large num
ber of Pittsburgers are among the vis
itors: Hon. M. Hampton and wife, M. K. •
Moorhead and family, Robert Pitcairn
and family, W. J. Moorhead and family,
Ben. Bakewell, Jr., and family, R. W.
Mackey, State Treasurer. W. F. Ander
son, Alex. Chambers, H. Howard and
family, R. H. Hartley, P. N. Guthrie,
D. B. Morrison, Samuel 9ormily and
family, James A. Hutchinson and family,
Irwin Laughlin, A: H. Childs and family,
W. S. Puryiance. Quite an array of
names are registered from Philadelphia,
with a slight sprinkling of New York
ers, Baltimoreans, Cinciunatians, &c.
Of these visitors west of the mountains,
we observed Dr. Boardman, of Philadel
phia, Mr. Hugh Pitcairn, of Maucli
Chunk, and Lieut.-Commander A. R.
McNair of the U. S. Navy, who
is on sick-furlough, having recently
returned from Europe. He was on Ad
miral Farragnt'e staff during the war in
the South, and is therefore one of our
naval heroes. He belongs to the McNair
family, once owning property in the
neighborhood of Wilkinsburgh, formerly
railed McNairtosin.
Sunday was observed at the Mountain
House with great propriety, and as few
places ot• resort can boast of, indeed we
doubt if it was equalled. It Is true the
hotel is located so that the demoralization
-usually seen at fashionable places cannot
exist,. The class of people at this hotel
Are of the highest respectability, and
though many of them are fashionable, yet ,
not of the fast sort. In the morning the
little chapel was crowded to hear Rev.'
Dr. Humphrey, a Presbyterian divine
from Louisville, By., preach. Dr. Board
man, of Philadelphia, participating. At
8 P. at. a children's meeting was held, in
which -several Eastern Sunday school
workers participated. A. large audience
assembled in the Dining Hall in the even
ing to hear Rev. Dr. Scovel. of the First
Church, Pittsburgh, preach, Rev. Mr.
Beatty, pastor of Shadyside Presbyterian
Church, assisting.
It is needless to speak of the elegant
walks and drives, mountain scenery, in
vigorating air, splendid cuisine arrange
ments, trout flaking grounds,:',, hops etc-,
as these things are well known. We .
know of no nicer place to go to enjoy a
'pleasant time in the summer. An excel
lent band of music discourses sweet

Corremondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
LYNN, MASS August 13, 1869.
When Ilearned in geography, years
ago, that Lynn was noted for its shoe
manufactures 4 : imagined a little city fail
of tanneries, liather factories and the ne
cessary accompanying odors of such a j>- ,
trade. 7
I found a very pretty city, kept
cool and, comfortable through these hot
months by the sea breezes, and filled with
beautiful residences shaded by the trees
for which New England is so justly
famed. Lynn Beach itself is enough to
keep one entranced for hours. Nearly
two miles long, hard and smooth, with
its splash and dash of ova es, its sea air,'
and far stretching view, if is a drive not
to be excelled. At low tide one can,
without leaving the beach, drive directly
to Nahant.
This, as you know, is not a fashionable
watering place, where thousands crowd
to see and to be seen, but a place where a
number of families resort for comfort.
Many of the homes there are elegant,
land it would be no hardship to spend the
winter in them. The prevailing idea,
however, seems to be comfort. One little
cottage, built almost on the high jutting
rocks it faces, is where Agassiz, spends
his vacation. Another, farther up from.
the sea and surrounded by trees and
fib vers, was built by the son of a great
statesman. Woodbine Cottage would at
tract your attention and lead you to ex
claim, "thisls my ideal of true summer
recreation. Bat, where everything is so
charming, it is hard to dhoose.
A little steamer plies constantly between
Boston and Nahant; so it is quite a resort
for pleasure seekers. The sail down the
Bay is itself quite an object. Picnics in
large numbers hold their festivals in
Maoll's Gardens, where they can 'enjoy -
the sea under trees, in arbors, or, if they
choose, on the rocks. The more dainty
can leave baskets and bundles behind,
and seek refreshment- for the inner-man
at the well-kept dining hall. A band. is
often there to discourse sweet music; so
do you not think it almost equal to Cen
tral Park? After enjoying Nahant to
your heart's content you mat drive to
Swampscott on the opposite side of Lynn,
and find another place where it would be
no privation to spend a few weeks of July
and August. If you only choose the right
time of day you may see Massachusetts
aristocracy out taking an airing. The
equipages are of all descriptions, from the
carriage, with liveried servants, down to
the unpretending buggy whose driver
earns his daily bread. -
The side of the road facing the ocean is
lined with the residences of the before
mentioned asistocracy, and, I think, in
stormy nights, the inmates might think
themselves "rocked in the cradle of the
deep." W. C. A.
—At Binghampton, N. Y., .the new
church of the t;ongregationalists was
yesterday dedicated. Last night, Rev.
William Alain Bartlett, of Chicago,
preached the dedication sermon.
—Collector Stockdale, of New Orleans,
yesterday seized twelve thousand cigars
manufactured in Key West, for violation
of the Internal Revenue laws. The boxes
were not branded.
