• Ignorance Personified.
Notwithstanding' , the seemingly un
tiring efforts of
,the Mayor to make his
police force effective, by uweedlng out"
.
the unworthy, the stupid and ignorant
i'mokes" who by some means succeeded
in securing appointments on the force,
there are atilt eome men in the
and
of the city, whose stupidity and igno
rance totally unfit them from filling such
important positions. To illustrate this
-fact•itte only necessary to relate an inci
dent which (lectured Saturday evening,
1 the circumstances of which are as foc
i lows: far. John A. Binger,
• a glass
blower, residing in Birmingham, un Sat
nrday morning hired a team at Swea
t engen's livery stable on First avenue,
for which he paid the sum of six dollars,
1 Promising to return the turnout
lin the evening. Unfortunately how
',he wa n
s ot permittedre
' turn the buggy or bnek-wagon rather,
as he met with an accident by which it
was broken. He was on hie way to the
stable, and while coming down the grade
on Carson street, South Pittsburgh, \ be
hind a car, pulled on the left band track
In order to pass it. It appears that it car
was coralt up the track a short dl i ttan* co
ahead, and before he could pass, t e car
,
on the right hand track they met, Catch
ing the buck-wagon between thern com
pletely demolishing it. Binger escaped
injury by jumping out of the buggy a
moment 'before the collision occurred.
lie then took the horse to the stable and
informed the livery stable keeper of what
had occurred, and agreed to pay for re
pairing the wagon, although he
dad it was an. accident, and did
not occur from curate's dri. Tha
man in charge oft he stable vin req g uested
him to remain there until he could go
and see the wagon which he did, and
when he returned ' demanded payment
for toe wagon immediately. Binger in
formed him that, he had not the money
to pay him then but could , raise it in a
few days: Vhis' was not satisfactory
however, unless security was vel3.
Binger could not give security unless he
could see some Of his friends from the
South Side.. The livery man then called
upon Joseph . Ranger or Ruttger, a Gor
man, whose zeal to serve the city is not
half so great as his ignorance, impu
dence and stupidity, who, after hearing
a statement of. the case, as given above,
arrested Binger Spd marched film off to
• the watch house, where he was informed
by Catitain Graham. who was still on
duty, that-.he - bad no right to make
the arrest, I end that. , there was
no authority '. for, detaining the man
there ' a moment. ' .By this time
the livery Man , came in, and when
asked by the Captain what charge he had
against'Binger, he saidUone, but wanted
him locked" p. Until he would, give se
surity for th payment , of of damages in
curred, in bteaking. the buck - wagon.
-The Capindii-very sensibly infortnedbirn

hold the matt on . any charge,. that: he

against him. - This he declined to do, tut
requested that the man be detained until
he could go and see about the matter.
Capt. Graham, who knows his - duty and
porforn3s it well, reituted to "dothis, and
as he was at this 'time • relieveilty Capt.
Reed.' leftoffice, the stupid, bull
headed officer in the meantime retaining
the prisoner anti' the proprietor of the
stable arrived. T
pthe case was then
brought , before Ca. Reed, who, after
hearing the statement of• the parties, de;
cided to lock Binger up, unless he
would give security as •demanded; and
- would liaire done so, we presume, had
not. friend of Binger's interfered. In
order to adjust the matter; Col. - William
Gallaher, he, of Rowan descent, stepped
in and , because respo nsible for Binget's
a ppearance, should he be' called fer.
Binger was then allewetl to iAopart..:

Dr. W. H. Daly, and another physician
were summoned, and attended the
wounded man. His Injuries are very

Patterson, went to Tiernan's§ house and
took his deposition. The deponent stated
that OM struck hiM'several times in, the

,
An accident of a 'ver b distressing na
ture occurred in South Pittsburgh yes
terday'reaulting in the death of Mena
Dressler, a bright, interesting little girl.
ten years of age. It appears that the
brother of the girl, who resides with hie
father on Manor street, had a Elharp's re-
Tolver, which he left lying on the man
tle in one of the rooms of thehouse, hav
ing been working with It that morning.
About one o'clock the family were start
led by the report of a pistol which pro
ceeded from the room where the revolver
had been left, and the father, who was
in an adjoining room, ran In to ascertain
the cause and found his daughter lying
on the floor in the last agonies of death.
Dr. Roberts was summoned Immediate
but
child was- dead when he arrive d
A pert mortern examination was held,
when it was ascertained that the ball
passed directly through the centre of
the heart. The brother is almost frantic
with grief and blames himself with the
occurrence, for having left the loaded
pistol where she could reach it. An in
quest will probably be held this morn
ing, as Coroner Clawson left his office
for his residence in the 22nd ward, a few
minutes before the occurrence • and will
not return until this morning.

Saturday morning about half past two
o'clock, the Paraffin& Works of A. W.
Bell & Co., on Fiftieth street, near the
river bank, were destroyed by fire. The
conflagration was occasioned by an ex
plosion of gas, which ignited from the
flames of a lantern in the hands of the
Still men, Mr. Thomas Oh 7. MN Clay
was standing by the still at we time, but
miracnously escaped with but a slight
burn on his hands and face. The build
ing was of frame, and the loss is about
5 50 01 upon which there is no insurance.
The works wilt be put in running order
immediately.
The engines which turned out in an
swer to the alarm from boa 75, did not
go into service for want of water. They
were unable to reach the river for want
of 4 0. roadway, and tho water pipes are
not yet laid in that. vicinity. The Hook
.and Ladder Companies, however, did
effective service.
The Park Question.
T04120170W, at the polls, the , voters of
the city will be called on to decide the
question of "Park or no Park," unless
Councils unwisely conclude to postpone
the matter' after nearly all the arrange•
manta for the election have been made.
The question is , one of much importance,
and should draw out a full and' Intelli
gent vote. A free. üblic Park where all
oltisenseen repair for-pure air and inno
cent Jecreation an absobale necessity
for the health an dpleasure of any large
community, and more especially to such
hard working People as go to make up
our population. Whether our citizens
will again postpone the procurement of
a proper site , for such a • breathing spot
the vote of to-morrow will develop. De
tay may cost much to the tax payers,
for sooner or later , the „Park must come.
The queitlon is , in no', manner a political
one, and' will be decided on its own
merits.

The first representation of Lent's . C N. ir.
ens Company, from the Hippotheatxon
Fourteenth street, New York, will take
place on the Diamond in Allegheny City,
this afternoon, commencing at 2%
o'clock. Ladies and family parties who
dislike mixing in a crowd will find the
day exhibitions of this troupe fully as
brilliant and divertified as these given at
night, while the probability of obtaining
good seats will be much greater. Unless
the establishment has been greatly over
rated by the press of other - cities, - the
performances of the New York Circus,
will befbund far In advance of anything
of the kind hitherto presented in this vi
cinity. It appearti to be generally con
ceded that the entertainmepts of this
troupe are of a more refined character
than those of ordinary travelling shows,
and therefore Its advent is anticipated
with interest by many who seldom visit
exhibitions of horsemanship.
