Joseph Kaye, Jr., and Patrick Luther, for a three mile race over the . Allegheny;course, to take place Saturday, September 4th inst. The race is to be for a purse of 1300, and as'the contestants are both known to be ex perts at walling, a lively 'race may be anticipated. Slight Fire.— Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock ,an alarm of fire was struck frOm box 76; Blady ,street. The alarm was caused by the burning of the roof attached to Father Burke's house, near the Soho bridge, on Second avenue. The Relief steamer was out and the flames were subdued before any damage was done. , The fire is supposed to have; originated froui a defective flue. The Prew Fifth .

Board will also be told at this place in the future. Absconding Bearder.—A few days ago a stranger obtained boarding at the house of Mr. Showers. in the Third ward, 'Alle gheny: Tuesday nightlthe new bittariler disappeared without any formal leave taking or making arrangements for the settlement of his little bill. Simulta neous with his departure eighty-nine dol. tars disappeared from the pocket-book of his room mate, who had in the confi dence of human nature left the article in his pants when retiring to rest. The Allegheny police were notified, but the chap by this time is doubtless beyond their reach. Another Itobbery. 7 —Yesterday after noon aboyd four o'Cloek, two young men entered the. store of Mr. Wm. Welty, in the Sixth ward, Allegheny, and while one attracted the attention of the atten dant, alittle boy; to the back part of the store, the other went through the money drawer, abstracting therefrom about $3B. The robbery was not discovered until the proprietor came in sometime after and examined the drawer for the missing lands. From the dlscription of the men, given by the boy, ne identified them is two well known char:titers, and accordingly made information before Mayor Drum last evening. ' A warrant was issued.

The party got in the wagon and when in a piece of woods near East Lib erty the young men attacked him, knocked him down- and after stamping him until he was insensible "went through" his pockets - and relieved him of $25; all the money he had.

About ten o'clock last night while en gaged in conversation with several gen tlemen, on the corner of Fourth avenue and Smithfield street, our attention was' attracted to the Mayor's office pavement, where a small party of men were assem bled and engaged in blasphemous con versation which might have been heard fully two squares away. The. mutual abuse of each other, between two of the prominent figure!, eoon led to blows, and we at once repaired to the scene to watch the progress of the fight having full con fidence in the stayawaytiveness of the police until the skirmish was over. We found the pugilists to be two well known charactertqwhose lives have been marked with court trials, penitentiary confine ment and pardons, all through the effects of, bad whisky and pugnielous dispositions—excepting the pardon busi ness which resulted from an over confidence in human nature, on the part of their respective friends. They fought and "fit" wickedly.for twenty minutes, by the watch, and succeeded admirably, to use a classical expression, in putting an additional head on the shoulders of each other. Friends interfered and a cessation of hostilities ceased for thrce minutes, when a mutual interchangepf Opiniodoccurred, in relative to the ms cular inferiority of each other. Several fine - specimens of neatly coast - fumed sentences, in whim holy names were ingeniously interblended with a femi nine noun singularly suggestive Of Sirius the reigning star, and then" they 'went to work again. Blows were exchanged in rapid succession and/With good effect, bringing the claret"' in such copious draughts as to fully substantiate Har vey's discovery/that blood will flow. They interlocked arms In a brotherly embrace, and then with a thud both tumbled to 7 the pavement, rolled'over into the Fitter and kissed mother earth throughlhe soft aides of cobble atones. One ofllem, who was the better pugi list/got the head of his friend in chancery and proceeded to make an im ression using the flexors and extensors of his good right arm with telling effect. They were separated for round third. No intermeddling l'Uharlie" had yet up. peered, although by the watch twenty rive minutes had passed away. We wanted the colors made complete at this stage' of the mill, for red there was ,enough in blood, white, there was plenty in the pale faces of the powerless on-lookers, but the blue Was missing. A few personal remarks passsed when one of the participants • made a feint to draw something out of his pocket, perhaps a knife, nerhepa a pistol or perhaps a city ordinance but, what i ever the movement meant, t was a sig nal for the other -to launch forth,a terrifie blow squarely Into The ''smeller"—that's what the b'hoys call the nasal organ— and the battle was renewed. Both came to mother earth and rolled over into the gutter, and beneath a carriage immedi ately under the heels of a pair of horses, both of which had the sound• equine sense neither to kirk nor to move, nor to aid in any manner in healing the woes of our heroes. - Like the pollee, they kept perfectly quiet. Our pugilists, iti thisx.awkWard position remained for , abddt three ,minutes, both en deavoring to gouge and bite, notwith standinglhe fact that such proceedings were-out of order and foul (according to rule VI of the P. It.. code, page 7 of Green's Manly Art of Self Defense). No aquatic sport was present to cry foal, however, and neither one felt just at that juncture like taking water or a waterman'a tactics as much as blood. They parted. Twenty-eight minutes by the watch, and yet no police. The crowd of spectators at this time was quite large, and a gentleman proposed forming a ring, but the ropes were not laid, and this master ly exhibition of muscular strength and endurance under'the gas light of the Mayor's office, at ten , of the clock ,on a clear and pretty Septernber,flight, Burned no more dignified' or romantic character than a street brawl, an ordi nary, plebeian fisticuff; in fact, we are ashamed to admit, for the Sporting renu tation of our parkiesa community, that this magnificent affair will enter into history as a rough and tumble street fight, and nothing morel Round four was commenced In good style. One of the parties got in a stnnner on the gridirons (ribs) of the other, which was returned by a bunch of fives lodging in the "bread basket" (stomach) of the giver. Then a sockdohiger landed in the "potato trap" (month) of the big ger man, bringing him to a pavement contract, and both now went to work in right go od earnest. We, sickened •and out of pity exclaimed, "is Pittsburgh pennyless, parkiess and .polleeless?" But no, relief for Lucknow was now at, hand, and -a full body of maced, men darted around the corner and gaols as thought the ring was broken and the pugilists separated. Word had been telegraphed to Capt. Reed, who dispatch ed a squad at once to the place. One of the party was arrested, while, through some Misunderstanding, the other, in charge of the arresting officer, took a walk in a different direction than to the tombs and escaped. • Seriously, the affair was a disgrace to the city, and while we cannot with any justice find fault withthe Mayor or irl i • deed with his .police, for permitting the occurrence to go on so long unnoticed, still it shows a lack of organization and an imperfect distribution of the forces. Had the fight occurred at a later hour or in a different locality than, on the very pavement of the Mayor's office, we should express no surprise that it lasted half an hour before the guardians of the night put'an pad to the sanguinary pro ceedings. ,• • Now comes the sequel or fanny part of the- story. On visiting the tombs we found that one of the pugilists had been incarcerated early in the evening for die orderbc,Conduct on Smithfield street. That the man with whom he subs°. quentiy bad the mill left an ample for feit with . Capt. Reed' for his appearance this morning, and procured his release; and that.. the party had merely passed through the hall of Os Mayor's . Office to the ' street when the fight between them ,:took place. It looks as if the prlioner had been taken nut for the purpose of having the fight. Both men were terribly used up, and 'tholr, faces wore almost beaten into jolly. Their punfahment at each others hands - seems enough penalty for their innocent amusement, but yze presume they will be severely dealt with by the authorities, We cut the fulloviing from the Cape Ann Weekly Advertiart, and gladly give , it a place in oar columns: 44 0 n Tuesday morning we received, a call from Mr. James Conner, one of the largest whole [Jai° grocers and fish dealers in Pitts. burgh, Penn., who bas'been iii town the past week, negotiating for a supply of mackerel direct_ from our dealers, and has already, purpbased the largest lot ever bold to any western dealer in one day.

Dr. Wm. H. Daly, sworn—On the e/n -ing of the 28th of August at 8m _o'clock. I was called in haat to see Andrei , Tier ney (deoeased). Fanud him/lying iu bed, suffering great agony. On turning down the clothing and removing his shirt discovered apout thtaie feet of the. intestines protruding from a wound in the hypocondriac region of the abdomen. Explored the wound and found it lead ing inward and upward, penetrating the diapraghtn. TI knife passed between the superior surface of the liver and the wall of the abdomen to penetrate this structure. /There was great prostra tion from/ the shock to the system. The fago t was ashy pale and the &inn tenaneti wore an anxious expression. After' returning the bowels, which was a very difficult matter, owing to the na taire of the wound, it was dressed with -the assistance of Dr. Hamilton, who ar rived about that time. There were two other wounds—one in the right lilac re gion, penetrating the abdominal wall; the other in the ear, which was arrested by the knife coming in contact with the mastoid process, of the temporal bone. This wound bled very copiously. The next morning the man was pretty com fortable, considering his condition. When seen, reaction was still incom plete. He was not suffering much pain —anodynes had been administered to control that. He spoke to me intelli gently and answered my questions, but seemed a great deal anxious about his' condition and bad an enpression of ter ror about his face, which is always ominous in cases of that kind. Dr. Ham ilton saw him with me on Sunday morn itg at my request. I saw Dim again Sunday evening alone. His condition then was not materially changed, with perhaps the exception of a very slight improvement. I visited him again Mon day morning about ten o'clock, finding him in a very , critical condition, I was informed that he had bad a change for the worse about 4A. M. He was lying on his back with his knees drawn up breathing vel7 laboriotisly and irregu larly, skin cold and "clammy: pulse feeble and easily compressed; some re storative measures were resor4ed to and sometime daring the afternoon I saw him again. At that time there was evidence of rather better con dition than in the evening, but he was suffering violendmiln, and was with dlr. ficulty restrainoln his bed, his delirium was great. I administered some , medi cine and he seemed quieter before I left. About nine P. M., I called on Dr. W. R. Hamilton and requested him to see the man with me again, and on our way to the house ISM informed that the patient was dead. He died about half past eight on Monday evening, forty-eight hours after he received the injury. A post mor tern examination was made about fifteen hours after death. The man appeared to be about thirty-five years of age, with a strongly built frame. We made an in cision frotn,the sternum to lower part of the abdomen. We carried another in cision from the navel to the back on the right side, in order to expose the parts that had sustained the injury with out touching them with, the knife: we found the wound about as I stated in my evidence a moment ago, except that I add that the wound was. larger on the inner surface than on the outer one. There was circumscribed portions of peritoneal inflamation, in different parts of the abdomen, and in the region of the wound. That portion of the intestines protruding' from the bowels was in flamed by being exposed for a half hour to friction with foreign matter. There wasbut little blood found in the abclom nal ' cavity, not over one half an dunce. The wound in the diaphragm was from an inch and a quarter to one anu a half in length and rather of a gaping character from its direction across the muscular fibres. The wound In the iliac region of the abomen was not of much consequence; it penetrated the wall. The wound in the region of the ear was not of a serious nature, though the hemorrhage ,was profuse.-:After a close observance of the case my opi nion is that the man died from the shockpro duced by the upper wound in the abdo men, and chiefly so from the fact that the woundVenitrated the diaphraghm. Dr. W..R. Hamilton, sworn—l attend ed on the deceased. Was called - to see him on Saturday al 9 P. it., found Dr. Daly there returning the protruded In testines. The man was In the conditioni as described by Dr. Daly. I assisted the Doctor in'drnenin g the man's injurie s. Visited hitii with Dr. Daly the next morning and-found him in the condition as described-by the Doctor. I saw noth ing more of. him until after his death. Assisted in'tnaking the post mortem ex amination. The external wounds were as described by Dr. Daly. The length of the upper wound in the integument was about one and a half inches in extent, situated in front of and beneath the angle of the ribs, on the right side, in the right hypocondriac region. The wound on the insideot the abdomen was of greater extent that the external wound. There were evidences of peri toneal infiamation, especially of that portion of the intestine that had' protru ded.. There was an opening in the dia phragm as described by. Dr. Daly, and confection of the lung, near tue wound. Suctra wound could be Made with a reaket knife. It is my impression that the wOnini was inflicted by an under out, and I think the wound enlarged as the knife was' withdrawn. I have no doubt the man tiled from the effects of the wound Past referred to, from shock as the consequenae, of the wound. Michael Muiten, ivern—l saw the difil catty between Michael Gill and deceased. It was at Sriyder's saloon on Penrietreet.

Tierney walked home. Wm. Ready, sworn—l was at the corner of/Point alley and Penn street when the -tlray occurred. I heard some men making a great deal of noise on the up- Der side of the street. It was between half-past seven and eight o'clock. There were five or six persons with me and we went across to see what was the matter. I saw two men having hold of each other, a small man and a large one. The large man had a knife in his hand. I made the remark to part those men, that one of them bad a knife. I went to part them and some one pulled me away and said to keep out of that muss and I walked away. I heard the maq say, "you have let my guts out." He said it in Irish. The other man replied: "Devil a knife I hadi .L then walked back again to the man that was cut and asked him where heas cut. He had hie hand holding the Wound. Two men came and took him wn Point street. The other man ran across the street and I think ran down Point alley. John Tierney, swo —Deceased was my cousin. I was with the party play. lag cards the night, of the fight. (The witness here stated what occurred in the bar room.) Snyder pdt them out after Tierney pushed Gill. Gill followed him out, and as he was going out he said to Tierney, "you will suffer for that lick before you go home." He spoke it in Irish. Snyder closed the dolor and then I went out. As soon as Andrew saw me he cried out, "oh John, , I am •killed, Gill has cut my guts out with a knife. ' He told me to hold the man. Gill stood back In the crowd, and I started to take the wounded man home. I did not . see the knife. i . After a few minutes' deliberation the jury returned the following verdict : “That the said Andrew Tierney came to his death, Monday evening, August 80; 1869, at half past eight o'clock, by reason of wounds inflicted with a knife in the hands of Michael Gill, Saturday evening, August 28,1869, near Sdyder's Saloon, on Penn street, in the Firk ward, Pitts. burgh. The Humboldt Executl4 Committee Held its regular weekly meeting last night and transacted a good deal of busir near, but little of which was of public interest. A change was made regarding the pic-nic. Thb - badges are to be sold at 25 cents each, and the possession of a badge entitles each person to be trans ported to and from the grounds at Friend ship Grove and also to admission. Dr. Gross very kindly offered the use of his grove for the day, and the offer_ was accepted. The selection of this grove will, we believe, be very satisfac tory to all, as its freshness and ver dure will be attractions, which the much used Iron City Park can not offer. Arrangements have been made with the 'Pennsylvania Railroad) for two special trains to carry perso to the picnic grounds. Mr. Kredel \ ns was appointed Marshal of the divisi n of the pro. cession from thenortho the rivers. The procession is to form Sixth street, right resting on Grant, t precisely 8 o'clock, on the morns g of the 14th. The routeof procession must necessarily be short in order to give time to hear the addresses in Allegheny and lie at the- Union Depot again by 12 o'clock.' A large attendance'at the picnic is confi dently expected on account of the sign!. licence of the occasion and because of the extremely reasonable charges. The Committee resolved to endeavor on Friday morning to secure subscrip tions for as much money for the monu ment as possible. The rehearsals for the concert are go ing on swimmingly. 1 The Park Commission has contracted for the masonry of the foundation of the monument, and Professor Blaeser has been telegraphed to regarding the bust. The Committee adjourned, to; meet again on Friday evening. - 1 Good News, It will be good news to many of our readers to learn that the famous "Conti nental," next door below the Postoffice, will be reopened to-day. The enterpris ing proprietor, Mr. William Holtzheimer, during the brief season it has been closed , has had the establishment renovated and refitted throughout in the most complete manner, which now places It in the front rank for neatness, cleanll nos and elegance. To-dory, in honor of the reopening, the patrons will be treat ed-to an extra dinner. prepared in that style for which the "Continental" is so peculiarly celebrated, when all the deli cacies of the season, consisting in part of reed birds and shell oysters, the first of the season, 'green sea turtle steak and soup; clams and'clam soup - , with other innumerable dainties of a rare and appetizing character, will be spread upon the board.

EMBEIL 2,1: ;\:, A very ingenious trick, by ivhich a gang of swindlers are making money by mutilating•national bank note?' of the denominittion of flue dollars has been exposed. The dodge consists of making ten bills out of nine, and is so managed that there is but one pasting to each of the manufactured notes. The nine whole bills are taken ' and from the right of the first one-tenth is sliced off; from the right of the second two-tenths, and so on to number nine, from which nine tenths are taken from the right, or what amounts "to the same thing, one-tenth from the left. Number one is pasted as It is, with a tenth gone from , the 'right; the one-tenth taken from number one is pasted to the residue of number two, from which two-tenths has been taken; these two-tenths are made to answer the place of the three-tenths taken from num ber three, and so on through. Thus nine five dollar notes are completed, leaving the original nurqber nine, with a tenth gone from the left, as a tenth note. It will be seen that hut a tenth is gone from each bill, and in a different place on every one, and a little ingenious past ing makes the loss imperceptible to or dinary observers. It is asserted that large numbers of these mutilated bills have been circulated. The rogues who have carried out the fraud were cunning in selecting the denomination they did. Larger bills are scrutinized, and smaller ones would not have been so remunera tive. The department will not redeem a bill which bears evidence on its face that it has been tampered with, and we ad vise our friends to scrutinize their five dollar notes closely. A remarkably singular and probably fatal accident occurred near Noblestown Tuesday evening. It appears that Mich ael McGee, a laborer at- a coal tipple, near Noblestown, Was In the latter place Tuesday and after taking several drinks, procured a quart of wbiskey which he placed in his bide pocket, or Most proba bly inside of his shirt, and started for his _boarding house, a short distance froth town, and oh the way fell down, breaking the bottle and cutting a gash in his . right side, under the ribs, about three inches in length, penetrating the abdominal cavity through which the entrails protruded , about 'four teen inches. He was found shortly after the occurrence and removed to his boarding house, and Dr. Barber summon ed, and some time after Surgeon Don nelly was sent for. Dr. Donnelly on ex amination found the wound as described above and several smaller wounds made by the broken glass. The man having no friends in this country, Dr. Donnelly had him removed I to Mercy Hospital in this city yesterday evening, where he will receive all the attention necessary. His recovery is considered very doubt ful. The receipts at the Mayor's office ing the month of August, from fines, etc., were heavier than thoSe of any pre vious month during the year, although there was not as much business done, so far as the number of cases are concerned, as in the preceding month.

He broke open a door in the rear of the house to get in, and made his exit the same way. One of the` inmatesof the house saw him departing, but he had got away before an alarm could be reliat. Tuesday afternoon during the absence/ of the inmates, the house of Mr. lohnt Kane, on West street, Third ward, Alle gheny, was entered and a silver watch and ten dollars stolen. The theft, must have been in the house .sotue time as he had evidently gone through It complete ly, apparent in the manner in which numerous articles were scattered over the floor.
