Disorderly.
Coal Lane, in the Sixth ward, MIS ex
cited yesterday by a wordy warfare-be
tween Mrs. Annie Wilson and Mrs. Eliza
Cookson. Eliza eventually conquered
in words, but subsequently was brought
before Alderman Butler by her defeated
rival for disorderly connect. The lan
guage used on the occasion was thought
by the Alderman to be strictly disor
derly, but that each might hive the
benefit of law, he dismissed he case
and divided the costs between th m.
Safe Deposit Company.
The importance of this institution to
the public cannot be fully appreciated,
except by a personal examination of the
great: security it affords against fire and
burglars. To holders of securities its
vaults furnish most ample and perfect
protection. As a place of safe deposit
for records, and valuables of any kind,
the accommodations are full and corn=
plete. We recommend business men,
and all others holding securities, trustees
of estates and parties having a large
number of title papers to visit the Safe
Deposit Company bulliing and inform
themselves of its workings.

A meeting of citizens to take measures
for extending some relief to the Avon

afternoon at the Mayor's Office, but the

- Chi MitteanierFlirt" during a reeent trip
32p the Misaopri river, concerning abuse
and harsh treatment he had received at
the handa , of the officers of that boat,
against whom suit has been brought at
St. Louis. The Democrat of Monday
Says of the case, in substance: :
The statement of Mooney was so fall
Of horrible cruelty; and inhuman barbar
ity that we expressed a doubt of its
truth, and thought it might be the in
vention of a mind embittered by hatred
and actuated by a spirit of revenge. The
statement of Mooney has been verified
by tho oaths of several persons who
were eye-witnesses to the transaction.
; These men, employed as deck ands on
the Flirt, say that the boat w a day's
journey below Fort Bufort hen the
{shooting of Mooney occur ed. The
captain was sick at the line and
knew nothing of the a air. The
I v
boat was lying at an is and. and
the men were engaged i carrying
on board drift wood for itie . Mooney
was in the forecastle letting t the line
to fasten the boat to the shor . The line
-was too short, and he so told the mate,
John Garrett. Garrett seized the lead
line, used in sounding, and struck Moon
ey on the back with the lead, weighing
about six pounds. He then drew a pis
tol aria shot Mooney in the mouth. The
bar -keeper interfered, and Mooney went
ashore, When the boat was ready to
shove out, Mooney wanted to go on board,
but Garrett refused to permit him to do
so. Mooney then asked permission to
get his clothes, but this was also denied
him. He was left alone, wounded and
bruised, on the sandy island, whore
uotang was growing, and only drift
wood and sand for food. After the boat
had proceeded 6 mile and a half on her
conraci the mate ordered two men to re
turn to the island and feteh Mooney on
boakti. They went along t e main shore
amteame Opposite the ial nd, but were
unable to cross over on cconnt of the
depth of the water. The boat
on whistled

for them, and they Teta ned

'Yesterday a party of visitors, umber ,

spectias, Work House Commissioners,
and representatives of t epress, visited
the Work House d spent sev
ral hours in an xamination of
the premises. A. t rough laves
tigathm of r the wrk convinced
all of the thoroughness nd satisfactory
manner in which it is ing done. The,
progress which has been made is all that
could be desired. Alr dy 'the is

work of which was only commenced not

It has been found a great advantage.
to have-the prisoners at the Institution,
as by this means a great saving in the
0 1
expense for labor hal been secured.
Last month nine hued ed dollars were
expended this way, wh oh, it is thought,
will be nearly, if not 1, saved the com
ing month, by the labor of prisoners.
They perform the duties of the laboring
hands formerly, but not now, employed.
At present they are engaged in excavat
ing for the foundation of the tuts works,
to be erected on the premises. Of
the number thus far sent up, few
have been at all • refractory, and
only one has been subjected to
the severer discipline. This one became
troublesome yesterday morning and had
to be hand-cuffed for the day. lie will
doubtless commence work this morning
in a more obedient frame of mind.
The infirmary
contains one inmate
who has been sick for a few days and is
receiving the proper care and medical
attention.
At the conclusion of the inspection an',
informal meeting of the Board and Com
missioners was held to consider meas
ures for the securing of more money fur
the rapid completion of the building.
It appeared that 8150,000 would be re
quired, of which sum the treasury con
tained but 870,000, leaving a bal
ance of $BO,OOO to be secured.
The revenue accruing, to be placed
in the hands of the Commisioners
is not sufficient to meet this demand.
The matter was talked over at some
l M en ayothrs.

Monument'in the Allegheny Cemetery
has, We believe, been abandoned, and
we would now suggest to the Allegheny
Park Commission the propriety of
making some definite,proposition to the
Association to secure its erection on Sem
inary Hill. We have received the fol
lowing communication from Gen. Pear
son, who has from the beginning taken
a lively interest in the affairs of the As
sociation and has rendered it valuable
aid. The General at one time strongly
favored the Cemetery site, but he has al
lowed his better judgment to prevail in
the matter, as witl be seen by the follow

lilisfas. EDITORS: Having received
a number of communicittions asking for
infqrmation relative to the "Soldier's
Monument." I desire 'to state, on behalf
of the Building Committee, that as yet
no fiction has
mp been taken by the Commit
tee for the si le reason that no suita
ble location has , yet been offered, save
and excet that proposed by the Alle
gheny Parkmmission. The Building
Commire has no desire to proceed ac
oordin to the instructions of the Asso
ciation', to have the monument erected
in ,the Allegheny Cemetery, believing
fydna the opinions expressed through the
/press of Chatty, the community would
not be satisfied 'with that loca
-1
ti n. The Building Committee in
a %ions to have the matter deli
tely . settled, so that they can
receive prOpOsahl, and proceed with the
work entrusted to them as rapidly as
possible. I would saggeit that a meet
ing of the Association be called, and that
arrangements be made for submitting
the question of location to a vote of the
pec*le This vote can easily be taken at
the October election. If this course is
ftiopted, the Association will be relieved
rom the odium which many unthinking
People have cast upon it; and at the same
time an opportunity will be given" for
each person to have a vote in the matter.
I would suggest, therefore, that the Pres
ident call. a meeting of the Association at
as early a date as possible, so that the
vexed question may be definitelynsox settled.
