The matter of establishing an inst

says that excellent religions paper the

attention of the i public for some time. .
A meeting of the friends of the enter
prise was held I July and among other
things an Execu ive Committee was ap
pointed, consist ng of Revs. Messrs.
Scovel, Reid, No le Swift; and Gillespie,
charged with the duty of 'originating
measures to perfect an organization,
and to have a', general oversight of
the' work. This \ Committee has had
the subject under consideration,
and has submitted to the public
a plan for forming a joint stook company
with a capital of $200,000, divided into
shares of $5OO each. Subscriptions may
be taken for a less sum, representing
.half and quarter shares.
At least two thirds of the members of
the Board shall be members in full corn

the Committee, (the Pitcairn property,
fronting the Pennsyl anis Railroad, at
the Shadyside Sratl n,) is understood
as binding all the shares subscribed, still
ject, nevertheless, to the revision of the
Committee, in Case this should be neces-
Baty or desirable; and whenone hundred
shares are taken \ ($50,000,) the same is to
decide the issue, and the work is to go
forward. The Rev. Samuel S. Shriver
has been appointed Financial Secretary,
and the Committee ask for him, and the
cause he represents, the respectful and
earnest consideration of all the friends
of education.
A location is decided upon—at the
Shadyside Station, East Pittsburg h-and
an agent has been appointed. We are
advised by Mr. Shriver that he is now
receiving subscriptions in the oommuni
ty favored with the location,. and
where 520.000 ' are pledged to the
Interest. This sum is nearly real-
ized, and will be exceeded pro
vided other parties interested do their
duty. Saving this as a beginning, it is
proposed to visit the,churehes in the city
and suburbs in rotation, and by a
careful canvassing of the whole field, to
secure in theieast posaible time, the sum
of $50,000, necessary to warrant the Com
mittee to go forward in taking steps to
procure a charter and to organize.

the friends of the' deceased that a post

made they strongly objected,. Mid re ,

most strongly opposed it, would tot
listen to reason, but swore that the

after which the remaining members of
the family, made no objections to bold
ing the examination. Two outs were
found in the abdomen, one on the right
side penetrating the liver. It . was this
that caused death. The other was near
the thigh, but penetrated to the abdom
inal cavity. A third cut had been made
in the right ear, the knife penetrating
the ear. Both these latter wounds were
serlons.
The Coroner then empanelled a jury,
but on account of the absenae of impor
tant witnesses, the inquest adjourned, to
meet at the mayors odic% this morning,
at half past ten oclock, wben District
attorny Pearson, will conauct the ex
amination of witnesses.
' Deceased was thirty-five years of ago
and leaves a wife and three small chil
dren. He was born in county Galway,
Ireland, and has been in this city for two
years. He was employed in Anderson
a Cook's steel works.
Michael Gill, the man charged with In
flicting the wounds which caused Tier
nan's death, as has been been previously
stated, was arrested Saturday Digit
shortly after the affray occurred and re
tained in the lock-up until next morn
ing, when" information was made ,
charging him with felonious assault and
battery, upon which charge he was
committed to jail for' a hearing. Yes
terday Morning information was made
before the Mayor charging him with mur
der. He was brought out of jail, but as
the Coroner's investigation bad not been
concluded, he was again comenitteri for a
hearing. We have beard rumors of the
amount of evidence against Gill, but as
the matter will have to undergo a legal
investigation, we do not think it proper
to give those rumors to the public.
The Old Drury Refreshened.
The Old Theare has just emerged as
bright as a new pin from a repairing and
renovating period, and will now compare
in point of neatness, beauty and comfort
with any of the amusement places in the
city. The old place has been so trans
formed that its old habitues will hardly
'recognise it. Painting, cleaning, paper
ing and Upholstering have been in brisk
progress, and now everything is nearly
completed, and the result is a eharbaing
and beautiful theatre. One begizia to
see improvement the moment he enters
the vestibule, and likes the freshness
and cleanness ' that are 'apparent. In
passing in ft is observable that the box
office, where we are glad to see our pleas
' ant friend, Geore Miller, Esq., Is to pre
side as of old, has been renovated, as
well as all the rest. The improvements
inside the building are all noticeable.
The walls have been handsomely fres
coed in light and cheerful panelling,
and the front's of the boxes and the ceil
ings match theta nicely. The balus
trades in front of the dress circle and
the gallery, are cheerfully and tastefully
panelled in ,blue and buff, and the gen
eral effect is very pretty. The iron col
umns supporting the gallery have been
painted and the capitals touched with
gilding. The private boxes have beau new
ly papered and upholstered, and are now
very neat and comfortable. The stage,
which Is an excellent oue, has been
thoroughly overhauled, and almost en
tire new scenery ha 4 been painted by Mr.
Ward, the scenic artist. The unsightly,
stairways that led to the gallery from
the inside, have been removed, and
has the cumbrous wooden railing around
the dress circle. The benches in the
parquette were taken out and replaced
by new and handsome arm chairs. The
,same kind of chairs are in the dress cir
cle and are decidedly neat. Altogeter,
the improvements have made the theatre
a very pleasant place. We are glad to
know that officer A. Boyd Rook, who
has always given such perfect satisfac
tion, will again be on duty here next sea
son.
Unlawful Kicking.
A man should never threaten to kick
the head off his opponent. It's very dis
courteous to do so, and besides is contra-,
ry to law. Such a threat may lead the
threatener into trouble. No man wishes
to have his head disposed of in such a
summary style, and naturally every one
will endeavor to prevent the disfigura
tion. Various methods are resorted to
for protection. Some men knock the
threatener down, and use him in a man
ner which unfits him to pat the threat
into execution; others take a milder
method, but perhaps the more effe3tual,
in seeking the protection of the law. It
was this latter course that N. S. Mulhol
land adopted yesterday, when, as he al
leges, he was threatened with this pe
cutler decapitation by Patrick Divers. It
was very effectual. Mr. Divers, after di
vers mancenverlngs, was brought to Al
derman Butler's office, and after the flan
-alformula, In which the solemn majesty
of.the law was'exhibited to his - wonder
ing comprehension, he was considerately
furnished with quarters at a publics home.
The only •inconvenience of Mr. Divers'

Our -Future Water Supply.
At the Minion of the Councils, on the
80th the following report was preseated
frotn the Water Committee. 'We mile;
ed RN tiabetance yesterday, but now
plaoo the full text before our readers.
To the Meet and Common Councils of the
City of Pitteburgh:
finrertAmern The Water Committee
begs !elevate report that since the report
Made to your bodies in December, 1888,
they have been diligently at. work in
connection with the Surveyors; and with
the advice and assistance of the City
Engineer have collected valuable in
formation as to the moat feasible and
eectiotnlcal location for a new water
works, Having visited all points Hatt
able to the purpone above Negley's Run,
we find that the water between the latter
place and Sandy Creek Is in
abundance, good and pure.. At Sandy
Creek the ground is nor available for the
purpose. The same may be said of Ire
land run. Your Committee have con
cluded that the most available and eco
nomical point is between Negley's and
Shade's run. At Negley's run and be
low it the water-is more or leas contam
inated by the drainage of East Liberty.
Above this at Shade's run, the wateras
from eight to ten feet deep at the lowest
stage. The property fronting this pool
contains about one hundred acres, hav
ing an admirable water front, for the pur
pose, and having lecationsoii the ground
for reservoirs at the height of 90, 120, 811
and 562 feet above the river at the pres
ent- water works. This property also
contains about fifty acres of excellent
coal to supply the engines for elevating
the water to all points above; also, a val
uable stone quarry where suitable stone
can be procured for the necessary build
ings.
Alter a thorough and careful exami
nation of all the sites proposed , your
Committee invited proposals from the
respective owners for the sale of the
different properties. They wore sub
mitted, and upon mature deliberation of
all the circumstances connected with the
speedy and most economical supply of
the enlarged city with water at pres
ent. and the prospective advantage both
of location and price, your Committee
unanimously recommend the purchase
of the property of Messrs. Coleman it
Rehm, as being not only the most suita
ble in all respects, but much the cheapest
of all the sites offered.
Signed by the entire Committee.
The report was accepted and filed.
This gentleman, who has for the past
five years had the superintendence of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
over a territory extending from Bedford
and Altoona over Western Pennsylvania,
the most of Ohio and a large part of In
diana and Illinois, this day relinquishes
his office to engage in other business.
Parts of Mr. David's district will
be henceforth attached to other districts
and be under other supervision, and the
Pittsburgh district, thus somewhat re
duced in extent, will from this date be in
charge of Mr. Charles 0. Rowe, an ac
complished telegrapher, hitherto an as
sistant of Mr. David's, in charge of the
eampany's lines and offices in the Oil
regions. where his reputation was that of
a thorough, energetic and obliging man
of business.
Of Mr. David, the retiring officer, we
have never heard a complaint; from this
city as a focal point, he has during all
the years of his incumbency, managed
the operations of the company over
district of unwonted extent, so efficien
ly, that there has scarcely been an ho
when communications were not prompt
ly transmitted over all the lines. His du
ties, all the time pressing and responsi
ble, havetit times been exceedingly ar
duous, taxing severely his physical and
mental energies. He has never faltered,
never failed. With a quiet, , ptersistent
energy he has grappled with and sur
mounted all difficulties, Commending
himself not only to the company for
fidelity and zeal in all circumstances, but
also tcr our entire business community
for his success in accomplishing for it a
prompt and satisfactory transmission of
every, commercial message. If men of
business will reflect on the great value
of such a man in such a place, they will

Red Hot Assault.
Iron crow bars are very use.
ful under certain circumstances,
but they may be used very im
properly. As, for instance, one may
be heated red hot, and used as a weapon
for attacking an opponent. The effect in
such a case would hardly fall to be disas
trous to the party attacked. . Sometimes
they are used in this way. Michael Um
bie alleges he was made the victim of a
most grievous assault by Wm. Moorhead,
who handled a Ted hot crowbar in very
uncomfortable proximity to his person,
going so far as to strike him with it.
The parties are employes at Lippincott's
Mill, and had a little dispute, which
Michael alleges was thus summarily
ended by William. Alderman' Butler
was made acquainted with the case, and,
issued a warrant for the arrest , of .W iir
ham yesterday. "

lobby Member, entirely uninterested,
save so far as our city's interest and re
spectability may be concerned, to say a
few words on the "performance" of • the
Chairman of the Committee on Retrench
ment and Reform at the meeting of Com
mon Councils on Monday afternoon.
First, however, of the Committee. By
the raising of it, have not the members
of Councils created a r tribunal, of their
own number, for their own condem
naton, or justification ? Thus far the
Water Committee has been arraigned, if
not for collusion, at least for gross ne
glect in. the matter of water pipe exten
sion, allowing on the part of the Contract
or irregularities which, if substantiated,
may well excite the indigation of a - trust
ing people. And just here, does it not
also seem that Councils, in creating the
Committee, had quite as little concep.
Lion of what was likely to follow, as , the
Chairman seems to have of his proper
functions ?
Mr Morgan, in, his boast about "my ,
report" and what he had done, individ
u Ily, himself, alone, quite submerged
his colleagues of the Committee, and
assumed , a virtue, if his had it not, dis
re ardfng threats, " kicks and.'' cuffs,"
f riessly proceeding l in his investigation,
he would to the end, with no enemies
to punish or friends to reward, knowing
n man outside of law and justice; and
h ving solely in view the people's In
tl
terest. His "performance" was, in his
peculiar line of "sound and fury," a
complete success, eliciting somewhat
marked applause from the lobby. Ex
perience, however, proves that investi
gations thus hommenced seldom amount
to Much in the end, the men engaged
therein failing to inspire confidence by
their indecent haste and illy concealed
desire for self advancement.
It will be quite time for the expression
of virtuous indignation, when the Com
mittee have presented the facts in such
shape as to warrant it; but that time is
not yet. And I fear, enough `having
been shown, perhaps, tojustify thorough
investigation, the "champion" has or:-
hansted his strength in a mere recon
noissance, and that his further demonstra-,
tions will be barren of good to himself or
those be would serve.
The Chairman's assertion that he isnot
aotuated by malice or personal feeling is
well refuted by his supplemental report
on the eligibility of certain members of
Common Councils. The fact that tne
gentlemen referred to were connected
with printing establishments, doing work
for the city, was within the knowledge of
every member at the organization in
January. An honest desire to teat the
question of eligibility would, I am sure,
at any time since then have been met in
a proper spirit, and a decision secured
from the proper source. Mr. M. evident
ly had some grudge to satisfy, and hence
his attempt of Monday, in which he stood
alone, none of his fellow members of the
Committee joining him in the effort to
"expel" obnoxious members.
