Clandestine HarriageL-The Bride Re
turns to Her Parents—The Husband
Brings the Matter into Court—State-L
menus'of the Parties—The Case Ms.
missed—Other Sults Pending..
A case of unusual interest was brought
before Judge Mellon, In the Court of
Common Pleas, on Saturday, on a 'writ
of habeas Corpus issued on the day pre.
vious on the petition of Adam Fulls, di
rected to Nicholas Schwartz, of which the
following is a copy: c
The petition of Adam Fulls respectfully
showeth that his wife Julia is restrained
of her liberty by N. Schwartz, illegally
and wrongfully, for. no criminal or sup
posed criminal matter. He therefore
prays your honor to grant a writ of habe
as corpus,directed to the said N. Schwartz,
sominanding him to bring before your
honor the body of his said wife, Julia, to
do as, and abide by, such orders as your
honor may direct. •
Mr. Pubs in support of the petition
states : that he is a resident of the Third
ward and alleges that about two years
since, he made the acquaintance of Julia
Schwartz, daughtsr of the respondent,
residing on Wylie street. The young
lady was at that time at the interesting
age of sixteen, pretty end agreeable.
The acquaintance grew into an intimacy.
which in time ripend into love, and hie in
tentions being honorable and with a view
to matrimony, he proposed and was \act
milted by the young lady. The parents
of the fair damsel were then consulted
and declined to give their consent to the
arrangements made by the young.folks.
On the evening of the fifth of August,
he states, the young lady consented to a
clandestine marriage and they accord
ingly proceeded to the residence of Rev.
Carl Weitershausen in Allegheny, and
were joined in the bonds of matrimony.
The bride returned the same evening, and
next morning informed her father of
the event that had transpired. He show
ed it disposition to be wrathy. and when
Fuhs called on him for his consent, was
indignant, flatly reusing it, or anything
in the shape of a compromise.
The Petition was presented by R. Pol
lock, 'Rig., attorney for the petitioner.
and a rule was issued and made returna
ble on the following day, at which• time
the responpent appeared accompanied
by his daughter. and when the case was
called, John S. Lambie, attorney for re
spondent, made answer in substance as
follows: He denied that he restrains
his daughter, Julia Schwartz, of her lib
erty, and alleges that hel e prepared to
prove that his daughter is riectly free
to follow her own incline on in living
with FUIIB, if she so desires. Respondent
also avers that - he has been informed,
and believes, that the marriage which is
said to have been celebrated between his
daughter and Fulls was procured by
fraud and threats on the part , 'of Fuhs,
and without the full and free consent of
his daughter, as it was certainly without
the consent of the respondent; that Julia
remained at his house nearly one week
before lie became aware of the fact that
it had been celebrated; that on the even
ing of the alleged marriage Julia returned
home, and has remained there, without
any inclination or desire to leave, and
that she is now at perfect liberty to do as
she may wish in the premises.
In support of the answer,.the follow-
ing affidavit was presented and read:
'Personally appeared before me, Jacob
H. Walter, Prothonotary of the Court of
Common Pleas, of Allegheny county,
Julia Schwartz, who, being sworn, de
poses and saith that she is the daughter
of Nicholas Schwartz, of the city of
Pittsburgh; that her age is eighteen
years and six months; that on or about
the sth day of August, 1819, Ada m Fuhs
waylaid this-deponent, and wit threats
and menacesinduced her to go with him
to the house of Rev. Weitershausen, and
there marry him; that on the evening in
Question. Frederick Oxenhardt was in
company with said Fulis when he way
laid this affiant; that this was about
eight o'clock in the• evening, when
she was going to visit afriend.
Atfiant says that Fuhs,". on one
occasion, threatened to shoot her if she
did not marry him; that affiant had fre
quently refused to marry the said Fuhs,
and would not have done so but for the
threats of said Fobs and the persuasions
of said Oxenhardt. Affiant further says
that it is not true, as alleged by, said
Fuhs in his petition for habeas corpus,
that she is restrained of her liberty by
her father, Nichelas Schwartz, but on the
contrary she has no wish or desire to
live with the said Fuhs, and that she re
mains at her father's house of her own
free will and accord. Affiant says that
her father has frequently said to herthat
if she desired to live with the said Fuhs
that she bad his permission to do so; but
that she had not desired, nor does she
now desire, to avail herself of that per
mission." - - .
The Court ordered the 'writ to be dis
missed at the cost of the petitioner.
This, it appears, is not the end of the
matter, as we learn - that an action bas
been instituted against the clergyman
who performed the ceremony for marry
ing the girl, who was only eighteen
years of age, without the consent of her
parents. It is further stated that Mr.
Fuhs has instituted an action for slander
or "words spoken " against the mother
of his unwilling b ride,, and from present
indications there will be an, application
for divorce. Verily the course of tree
love did not run smooth in Mr. Faris'
case.
Peculiar Drsire.
The Penitentiary, by most people, is
considered rather an , unpleasant resi
dence, bat one person at least, Thomas
Flatley, if , certain statements are true,
'has a different opinion of this retired
place of abode. Indeed, he is said to
have expressed a wish to be consigned
to the hospitable dare of tne Warden of
that large mansion. The wish was ex
pressed under the following 'circum
stances: Thomas is employed at Mc-
Keown's livery stable, on Grant street.
Saturday afternoon he and another em
ploye, Thothas Qtilnlon, had a little dis
agreement, when, it is stated, Flatley
drew a revolver,' and, pointing it at Quin
lan, pleasantly informed that trembling
individual of his intention never to rest
satisfied until he bad served- a year in
the Penitentiary for wounding him.

Races Put and to Come.
The fair and honest race between
Jimmy Hamill and Harry Coulter, two
of the best “scullere \ in the United
States, which took place on Thursday of
last week, has had a very salutary effect
on boat racing, having a. decided ten
dency to bring the sport into general fa
vor with our citizens, who a lew weeks
since were heartily disgusted with it.
Saturday evening between the hours
of four and five o'clock, a single scull
race of three miles, for a purse of one
hundred dollars, took place over the
lower Monongahela COMBO between
William Haley and Henry Best. The
hour (rginallv appointed for starting
was th ee o'clock, but in Gonsequence of
the heavy rain which fell about that time
the rag e was postponed until halt past
four. Notwithstanding the rain, a
large crowd assembled on the Monon
gahela suspension bridge, the starting
point at three o'clock, and many of them
remained not knowing of the postpone
ment, until the race came off. The race,
so far as we could ascertain was fair,
and "the best" man won. Mr. John W.
Carle, who had been chosen referee by
the parties, decided the race in favor of
Best; time 22:23. Haley's time was 22:53.
Best has received a challenge from
Nicholas Denmarsh, of the McKee Boat
Club, for a three mile race over the
lower course, for a purse of $lOO a side,
the first deposit of $lO having been
placed in the hands of the editor of the
Sunday Leader, Iwhich challenge he has
accepted. The parties will meet at two
o'clock this afternoon, at the Sheridan
Hotel, to complete arrangements.
A SHORT RACE.
A race has' been arranged and articles
of agreement signed between Alfred Hat
field and George McKeever, of this city,
for a race from the Monongahela Suspen
sion Bridge to the Point and return, for
a purse of $5O, to take place on the 28th
inst., if the weather is fair.
SAYE VS. LUTHER.
Saturday evening last the prelimina
ries for a race, including the signing of
articles of agreement, were arranged be
tween Joseph Kaye, Jr., and Patrick
Luther, fora , three mile race over the
Allegheny course, from the St. Clair
street beidge one mile and a half up and
return;.for a purse of $3OO. The race will
take place on Saturday, September 4th.
These are all the local races we have
beard of except the "Oilmen's Regatta,"
which is continued from day to day On
the Allegheliy, from the St. Clair street
to the Hand street bridge, and will con
tinge until the course is impeded by ice,
prNided the rowers' hands will stand
the heavy work and the oil business
keeps reasonably dull.
31'.13.1EL TS. TIAMILL.
A race .between Hamill and McKiel
was talked of, but if Jimmy, - as is sta
ted, has retired from the use of the
"spruces," it will not take place.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Coulter. we learn, will next make a
dash at Walter Brown for the champion-
ship, which was arrested from him by
that worthy at their last trial, but as .
Walter will have his hands full for some
time to come with the English champion,
Renferth, Coulter will hardly succeed in
having a tilt with him this summer.
A Lively Race.

(we don't know whether she was under
the rules and regulations of the Work
House or not) had taken her departure.
Having no one at . hand to send

much against hii inclinations started
In pursuit. The prisoner, it appeared
had been for some days employed in the
kitchen and seeing an opportunity to
escape, quietly walked out of the Janie

notified of the fact she had several hun

proceeding up Federal street when the
Warden, blowing like a porpoise, from
his lively run, came up with her and
conducted her back to jail. She was
locked up and a more trusty one &tailed
for kitchen service, we persume.
—Friday night six prisoners made an
attempt to escape, by,cutting through
the cell wall, and had succeeded In cut
ting through one wall and a few minutes
work would have put them through the
other. The, noise they made attracted
the attention of the watchman, and the
attempt was frustrated by their own
recklessness.
Remind from Ills Friends
Felix Teirnan, a stranger hailing from
Drumansville, this State, arrived in the
city Saturday afternoon, and during the
evening succeeded in "taking on" an
overload of whiskey. •He had on his
person-about four hundred and twenty
dollars, a fact which wag ascertained by
a party of rough,custOmers who were
hanging round him. - Two of the
Mayor's police found him in the vicinity
of Williams' saloon, on Liberty street,
surrounded by a party of suspicious
characters who were trying to persuade
him to drink, and protesting the strong
est friendship for him. The officers
thought it best to save him from his
friends and took him to the lockup,
where he remained until yesterday
morning, when he paid $4.00 for his
night's lodging and departed with the
remainder of his money.

ties in Crawford street have not yet been

mation against Mrs. Alexander for disor
derly conduct, consisting in the use of
sundry expressions rather uncompli
mentary to the Kemp character, and as
sault and battery, based on the action of

More Work for the Gallows.
Dr. Schcappe, convicted at CarDile, of
the mirder of Miss Steinnecke,' by the
administration of poison while attending
her in the capacity of a physician, has
been refused a new, trial. On Friday he
was brought into court, and the sentence
of death pronounced upon him.
Adam Titus, who recently plead
guilty to the charge of murdering Henry
Stahm, near Shippensburg, has received
the sentence prescribed by law. On Sat
urday last he was brought into the Cum
berland county court, where; after deliv
ering a lengthy opinion, Judge Graham
addressed the prisoner as follows:
"You have been indicted for the mur
der of Henry Stahm; when arraigned
you plead guilty, and the law then re
quired the Court, by examination of wit
nesses, to determine whether you are
guilty of the chino of murder of the first
or second degree.
"For the reasons just stated we have
adjudged you guilty of murder of the
first degree. By the laws of Pennsylva
nia the punishment of willful and delib
erate murder is death, and you mist pay
the penalty of your crime by the forfeit
of your life. We will not lacerate your
feelings by any comment on the circum
stances and enormity of your crime.
Yon are a man of sufficient intelligence
and education to feel and understand
your present situation. Your days on
earth will soon be numbered. You will
soon exchange the things of time for the
untried realities of an endless eternity.
and we admonish you to spend the days
which may yet remain to you in this
world in preparation to meet your God
in judgment.
"It is now our duty to pronounce the
Sentence of the law, which is:
"That you, Adam Titus, be taken
hence by the Sheriff of Cumberland
county to the jail of said county, from
whence you came, and from thence to
the place of execution, within the walls
of said jail, and that you bethere hanged
by the neck until you are dead, and may
God have mercy on your soul." -
The prisoner then made a few ramb
ling remarks in which he said - that the
Great Judge, of all was acquainted with
the circumstances of his deed, and he be
lieved that he had made his peace with
Him; that his mother-in-law, Mrs. Fry,
had testified falsely against him in say
ing that he had taken Stahm's money;
and that the quarrel between him and
his friend, which resulted in Stahm's
being killed, was due to his mother-ins
law's conduct and his wife's infidelity.
He concluded by saying that when his
mind was more composed he would write
out his thoughts. He was then taken
back to the jail to await the day of his
execution, which will be appointed by
Gov. Geary.
Serious Charge'.
Catharine Nightengale made informa
tion before Mayor Dram Saturday,
against Henry Nightengale for bigamy.
She in substance stated that Nightengale
had married her in England, where they
had lived happily together for several
years. He then immigrated to America,
alone, but corresponded with his family
and sent frequent remittances. These
tokens of his affection finally ceased
coming, and Catharine, after waiting a
reasonable length of time, and earning
by her toil, enough to make the trip.
came over, and after diligent search and
considerable traveling to different towns
at last heard of him at Pittsburgh: -This
news was accompanied by another rather
unpleasant peice !of Information. to tne
effect that he had again married and was
the father of three children by hie sec
ond marriage. She had not seen him for
several years. Upon her arrival here,
she made the information as stated. Sub
sequently, the two wives had an inter
view, when both seemed to agree in de.
airing the punishment of the delinquent.
A warrant was Issued but he has not yet
been secured.
The Lake Haase. Stoneham Pa.
This delightful place of summer re
sort on the Jamestown and Franklin
Railway, fronting the most beautiful
lakelet in America, and surrounded by
rich mineral springs_bf high medicinal
qualities, has changed management, Mr.
Edward Dolan, a hrst of liberal experi
ence and generous ideas, having assumed
charge. It is now open for guests, and
we do not know any place more enticing
for escaping the heat and dust of the city.
Billiard halls, ten pin alleys, swings,
pleasure boats, fishing tackle and bath
ing places are among the attractions,
while the tables are famous for the good
things* spread upon - them. The fare by
railway from the city is a mere trifle,
while boardirg rates are exceedingly
reasonable. We commend this excellent
place of summer resort to our friends
and the public generally.
United States Court—Judge McCandless,
In the admiralty case of John Edgar
vs. Richard Calhoun et. al., which was

In the bankruptcy branch of the Court,
a petition was tiled by. Henry L. Hod:.

The Court ordered the issue to be tried
before a jury at the October term.
Falsely:
Edward A. Aurentz alleges he was
employed by G. W. Rodgers'and Susan
nah Rodgers as clerk at the Mansicp
House. According to his statement he
have b een
must have been a valuable acqadtion.
as he alleges they made sundry false
representations to him to secure his ser
vices. What these representations were
he did not state in the information which
he made yesterday against the, accused
before Alderman Neeper. The =matter
will, , however, be Investigated, as the
parties were arrested and gave ball for a
hearing.
The 9, eather has been exceedingly
warm during the past three days. We
mention this fact because we have been
told so about five 'hundred tithes by as
many different persons within the period
specified. Everybody appeared to think
that It was very warm, but tuat he was
alone the custodian of the important Amt.
and he took great'pains that his neigh
bors should not be kept In ignorance of
it for he made it his standing saination.
Nevertheless, the weather during the
past seventy-two hours with the mercury
dancing up between 95 and 100 degrees
in tho shade and 120 in the sun, has been
almost unendurable. The only cool
: thing enjoyable by the poor penniless
people wno could not afford the luxury
of a trip to the mountains, was the fact
that the weather kept inside of a decent
range until the breaking of the seasons
abroad and with a terrible fury punished
those who had endeavored to flee the
heat of the city, but had missed the mark
by coming home too early.

The Smiths.
The Smiths are numerous. Nobody
doubts that. They are likewise friendly,
and Smith representatives occasionally
meet for festive purposes. Jerry Sinith
and John Smith did so Saturday night.
They are blacksmiths, but white men, a
singular anomaly. Philip Smith's, on
Smithfield street, was the saloon at
which they made "a night o' it." They
reside on Smith street, Allegheny, and
started homeward before daybreak Sun
day morning. Generally peaceful,' on
this occasion, pugilistic feelings seized
upon them. They met another Smith on
Federal street and expressed a desire to
"sm—[hicl sm-ash [bic] 'im inter
[hie] Smith (—) ereens." The stranger
Smith objected and called on offlcerJer
emiah Smith, who arrested the demon
strative Smiths and locked them up.
Last evening they only escaped being
placed under the care of Deputy War
den Smith at the jail for a short period
by-paying the lines imposed. - '
Tlae Water
A member of the Special Committee
appointed by Councils sometime since to
examine the water supply basins and re.
port to Councils, must have seen some
thing during the examination that has
not been made public. Since that time
he has taken the precaution to have all
water used at his residence for drinking
purposes. boiled and filtered, before
using. He says it has a salutary effect
upon the water as well as upon the gen
eral health and comfort of those using it
and recommends others to adopt this
plan, as it will do away with the neces
sity of cleaning out the basins, or depriv
ing persons from bathing therein. The

Burglary.
The residence of R. M. Powers, on
Centre avenue, was entered by burglars
on Friday night, who'obtained admit
tance by means of a second story rear
window which was left ppen. They ran
sacked the house and rifted the pockets
of the clothing of Mr. Powers and his
sons, securing a large wallet filled with
_documents of a legal nature, 'a - silver
watch and thirty dollars in money.
*They.were evidently in a hurry, as they
left untouched a valuable lot of jewelry
which was left by Mrs. Powers on a
bureau. The thieves stole the entire
contents of the boys' pockets. They left
the wallet in the back yard of the honse
with the papers all safe. 'No clue exists
