Meeting at City Ball—Speech of lion.
W. 1). Kelley.
A 4rge and spirited Republican meet
ing Was held at City Hall last evening,
and / the people turned out en 'name to
hoar that able exponent of national poli
tics, Hon. W. D. Kelley, of Philadelphia.
The Great Western band was in attend
ance, and at an early hour in the eve
ning the Hall was filled with laboring
men, business men, merchants and me_
chanics, anxious to hear the. truth from
one so able and eloquent as Judge Kelley.
The meeting was called to order by
.T. S. Lamble, Esq., on whose motion the
following gentlemen were elected officers
of the meeting:
President—Maj. Wm. Frew.
Vice ,Presidents—Jno. McD. Crossan,
David Cunningham, Dr. Francis Pilli
chody, W. V. Evans, Ed. House, Joseph
Shock, Dr. Joseph H. Dickson, George

C. A. Kehew, W. A. Gildenfenny, Jame,
Kelley, J. H. Hillerman, Richard Straws
W. H. Dummett, Samuel Courtney,
John Herron, R. Thornburg.
Major Frew, on- taking the chair,
thanked the audience for the honor
conferred upon him to preside over the
meeting, and while he had occasion
would state that the last time he had
an opportunity of addressing a meeting
in this Hall, - he was a candidate for the
suffrage of the people of Allegheny
county, not for an office of profit, but one
of great honor. He had the honor to
cast his vote for the 22nd District in the
convention which nominated Grant and
Colfax for President and Vice President.
The speaker teen briefly referred to the
prosperity of the nation since the Presi
dential election, atter which he intro
duced
ECON. W. D. KELLEY. •
The speaker, after briefly stating the
pleasure it afforded him to have an op.
porlunity of addressing so large and in
telligent an audience as a -Republican,
said he was_ here to bs interrogated
upon any question upon which an honest
mind could labor, as no Republican need
desire to keep anything from public
view. We were now in a country at
peace within its own borders, and at
peace with the world. We were a more
prosperous people to-day than ever be
fore. There never was a time when the
honest lab
per month, for h orer received more dollars per
week, or is labor, or
more tons of coal, barrels of flour
or yards of cloth than at the
present time, and this was all brought
about under Republican rule.
he
Dem
ocratic party bad, up to the time of the
breaking out of the rebellien, run this
country in the interest of slavery and
the products of slave States, cotton, su
gar, tobacco and hemp, and against the
Interests of , the laborers of the North,
whose hands guided the steam engine,
and the machinery in our factories, at
tempting to keep all manufacturing _es
tablishments on the opposite side of the
water, lest the North would be filled up
with honest laboring men and gain a
preponderance of power in the. National
Legislature.
The speaker referred to the green
back policysof Pendleton, and said that
greenbacks were the salvation of the
country. Greenbacks did not bear inter
est, and consequently would not pass
current in England, and we could not
force any but our own citizens to take
them, and from that fact alone,
the country was enriched. Instead
of oar iron coming from Eng
land it was manufactured at home,
and during the war we were
building monitors in P.usburgir instead
of England, and the iron of which they
were constructed was dug from the hills
of Pennsylvania and manufactured into
iron, and the millions of dollars which
otherwise would have gone to EuroPe,
remained at home, and the country not
withstanding the wonderful expenditure
of treasure during the war, forced upon
the Government by the Democracy, the
country was richer to-day Ulan ever it
was.
He then referred to the platform of the
Democracy of this State which he said
did not mean anything. ' After referring
to the fact that the in this State
held one thing and qupitearty
another thing
in other States, he said that the princi
ples of the Democracy were the "Leaves
and Fishes." The Democracy had, ever
since the Republican party came into
power, complained of extravagance , ap
parently forgetting that we were com
pelled to borrow three millions of
dollars before the close of James Bu
chanan's administration, to carry on
the government and now since the
beginning of Grant's administration the
expenses of the government had been
paid and the debt reduced over $8,000,-
000. The national debt, the speaker said,
was created for the South as well as the
North, for the future as well as the past,
and he was opposed to its present liqui
dation on the plan suggested by the De
mocracy.
The speaker, after referring to the fact
that the State of Pennsylvania was never
so prosperous and her financial affairs in
such a healthy condition as at -present,
said the State debt had been materially
reduced under Republican rule, and the
tax on real estate had been repealed, and
, what was the necessity of a change?
The speaker then referred to the pres
ent system of taxation, which, he said,
requited the luxuries of life to pay the
taxes, and even many of these taxes will
be repealed during the next session.
The speaker referred to the records of
the opposing candidates for Governor
and Supreme Judge. We all know
where Judge Williams' heart was during
the rebellion, and by examining the
legislative records we could find where
Pershing was. lie then paid a high tri
bute to Governor Geary, referring to his
record from the beginning of the rebel
lion and his conduct_ at, Lookout Monn
tail]. ,
Judge Packer's record was then re. I
viewed, and from a Republican stand
point it presented a .dirty sheet. The
speaker hoped that no Republican would
be lulled into apathy and stay away trom
the polls, as the opposition were making
a determined effort. Philadelphia, he
said, had missed tire last year, but she
would redeem herself this year. Their
weapons had been tampered with last
year by fraud, but they were protected
now by the registry law.
The speech was the ablest that has
been delivered in this city since the
opening of the campaign.

Robinson Township Teachers' Am°
elation.
The Robinson Township Teachers' As
sociation met according to adjournment,
on Saturday, September 25th, at School
House No. 7, T. Wilkeson instructor.
The exercises during the forenoon con
sisted of the regUlar recitations of the
school, which evinced care and labor,
both on the part of pupils and teacher.
Tha exercises were witnessed by quite
a large number of the patrons of• the dis•
trict and Nettle of enucation.
At two o'clock the Institute adj ourned
for an hour, at Which time the associa
tion partook of a bountiful supply of
eatables furnished by the ladies of the
district.
At one o'clock the meeting was call
ed to order by the President, roll was
called and all the members responded
to their names. The time of
the old officers having expired,
the President declared the chair
vacant, and introduced Mr. Shaw, his
successor to the Association, who, upon
taking his seat, made qalte an interest
ing address, telling them wherein they
erred and did not err, after which Mr.
Samuel Wilklson delivered ajecture on
Mathematical Geography. This was
followed by a class drill of Grammar, by
E. Gregg, after which the audience was
entertained by Messrs. Shaw and W ilki
son, who each read a selection, one enti
tled the "Beautiful," and another "The
Flight of Years.'" After which the Asso
ciation sojourned, to meet on Saturday,
October Oth, at School No. 12, Mansfield,
(Miss Hill teacher) where an interesting
programme will be - had, and all the
friends of education are respectfully in
vioed to attend.
Mr. Edward Fenderick.
This much esteemed Citizen, whoae fu
neral was attended yesterday by a large
concourse of mourning relatives and la
menting friends, was among the longest
and best known and most esteemed of
our fellow citizens of German nativity.
We walked several squares with him a
few days before his death, and on this oc
casion
we compared our cotemporary
memories. He'told us that about 1833 he
was, where we first knew him, in the
drug and chemical store of Mr, P. A:
Madeira. He subsequently established,
and, until the fire of 184.5, kept an apoth
ecary shop at the ner of Water and
Smithfield streets, cor again on Second
street below Wood, and again on Smith
field street above Fifth avenue, whence
he retired from that business, and, with
much impaired heatth,fimited himself to
a brokerage, chiefly in German exchange.
Mr. Fenderick was a trained and skilful
Pharmaceutist; was a man .of fine cul
ture, acquainted with German, English,
Latin and Hebrew literature; mingled
c loy lift with society; devotd himself
closely to business—giving his leiaure
only to reading and investigation. He
was ever courteous and obliging, of high
toned integrity, and most esteemed by
those who kfiew him best. We deplore
his death as of an old and valued friend.

TEE FROST RASH.
An Old and Popular Bat, Cap and Fur
Mouse Again Leads Off for the Fall
and Winter Trade of 1869-10—Wm.
Fleming ti Co. Once More in the Field .
With the Best Stock_ at Most Reason
able Prices.
It is a matter of congratulation with
ourselves that the staunch, old and relia
ble hat, cap and ladies' fur house of-
William Fleming itr. Co., No. 139 Wood
street, who have consistently and judic
iously advertised their business and have,
always kept such a stock as to warrant
all they have advertised, have again
taken the lead of the entire trade,
and are now ready to receive their
wnolesale and retail patrons with the
largest, finest and most varied and
superior stock of goods peculiar to
their line ever opened in this city. Dur
ing the summer months this enterprising
firm have thoroughty refitted and re
modeled their extensive emporium, and
it now presents an elegant appearance,
outrivaling in points of artistic beauty
and finish any similar establishment
west of the mountains. The main retail
salesroom is s perfect model of palatial
grandeur with its rich mirrors, its glis
tering varnished walls and ceiling, beau
tiful and novel casings, magnificent
marble counters. heavy and brilliant
chandeliers and superb light and venti
lation. Here we find a general stock
of goods which cannot fail to rivet the
public attention, being large, choice, va
ried and judiciously assorted. The
senior member of the firm has been suf
ficiently long identified with the hat, cap
and fur trade, to thoroughly understand
the requirements of the trade and knows
just how to please and suit his patrons In
all lines of goods. The hasement, a com
modious, well ventilated :and finished
apartment contain , ' a vast stock of ladies'
furs, caps, etc, in original packages,
and it is here that the wholesale cus
tomer will discover a better selection
than in the principal jobbing houses of
the eastern cities. The upper stories of
the building are in keeping, in finish and
appointments, with the lower ones, and
are thoroughly stocked with choice new
goons especially designed to supply the
very large trade directed from all parts
to this sterling house sn However, the
retail patrons are afforded opportunity to
make their selection out of the abun
dance c f goods in either wholesale
or retail departments. Altogether
considered Messrs.. Fleming & Co.
can at the commencement of the
Fall and Winter seasons setting in,
rightfully claim leadership in the en
tire trade in Western Pennsylvania, in
asmuch as they have not only got the
very finest salesrooms and best accom
mddations for the trade, but have like
wise the best and most complete stock of
hats, caps and ladies' furs ever opened in
this city. Moreover, they have pur
chased to great advantage, closely watch
ing the markets and investing at the
proper time, so that they are enabled to
sell at prices very much lower than those
prevailing at the houses of any of their
contemporaries. This is saying a great
deal, but our readers have but to
favor the establishment with a
visit of inspection and inquiry, and com
pare notes elsewhere, to satisfy them
selves of the truthfulness of the state
ment. A. fall corps of attentive and gen-
Wm:lardy salesmen are constantly in
attendance to watt upon visitors, wheth
er desirous of purchasing or not, and we
urge attendance on the part of our
friends needing anything in the line.
No firm in the city enjoys higher reputa
tion for honesty, correctness and fair
dealing than that of Wm. Fleming -&
Co., and we earnestly bespeak for them
a large increase of the full share of4pat
renege so constantly bestowed pon
them.
Amusements.
OPERA HOUSE.—The audiences at the
Opera house have, as was anticipated,
been unusually large this week, in con
sequence of the presence of Mr. Jobn E.
Owens, the inimitable comedian. Last
evening Mr. Owens appeared as Welling
ton de Boots in "Everybody's Friend"
and in his great specialty of "Solon Shin
gle." This evening "The Victims" and
"Forty Winks" will be presented, with
Mr. Owens 1,11 both pieces. Persons de
siring seats should secure them early.
PITTSBURGH THEATRE.—The chief at
traction at the Pittsburgh Theatre the
present week is Mr. Edward Blanchard
and his trained dogs. Nero and Carlo.
Frank Dillon, the wonderful mimic,
made his first appearance Monday night,
and was well received by the audience,
as was also Ms Viola Clifton, the dar
ing cantatrice. An excellent bill is an
nounced for the matinee this afternoon,
for the benefit of ladies and children.
ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The Gregories
are still drawing large audiences at the
Academy of Music, and will continue to
do so, we presume, throughout the re
mainder of the week, when their engage
ment closes. Prof. ,Gregory's feats of
swordsmanship are well worth the price
of admission, but they are by no means
tne greatest of the attractions. •
Pilgrims' Progress.
An entertainment of a refined and
very interesting character, consisting of
a stereoscoptico panarnma of Banyan's
Pilgrims' ?rogress, with appropriate
music to each scene, will be given at the
Keystone Skating Rink. The instru.
mental music is under the direction of
Mr. C. C. Mellor, while one thousand
Sunday school children, under the
leadership of Prof. W. H. Slack, will
furnish the vocal e=ercises. The enter
tainment is given for the benefit of the
Mission Church at Soho, and will, as it
should, attract undoubtedly a very large
attendance. See advertisement.
The last rehearsal for the concert will
take place at the Rink this afternoon, at
half past four o'clock.
Frank Hastings and John McGonnell
were before the Mayor yesterday evening
on a charge of disorderly conduct. It
appears the accused went into Auth's
saloon, where lager is sole at - three cents
per glass, and called for two glasses.
Whep the beer was produced, a five cent
rfickel was handed out in payment, bat
the bar keeper refused to stand the dis
count and drew back the beer, whereup
on his customers made a rai d the es
tablishment. An officer passing the
house heard the row and arrested the ac
cused, who remained over night at the
lock-np, and in the morning were requir
ed to pay the sum Of §2O and costs each.
Dancing Academy.
Those wishing to become proficient in
the art of "tripping the light fantas
tic toe," have excellent advantages offer
ed them at present at Prof. Cowper's
Dancing Academy, No. 51 Fifth avenue,
opposite the old theatre. The days of
tution are Wednesdays and Saturdays.

ening. Prof. Cowper is an experienc

The late accident on the Pan Handle
Railroad, by which an engineer; fireman
and brakeman lost their lives, and were
burnt to ashes, has been generally at
tributed to the "gross negligence of a
telegraph operator." An "Operator,"
in the Cincinnati Commercial, gives a
different version of the affair. He says:
"The .keeping up of two hundred miles
of telegraph wire bas heretofore required
the e2cclusive service of a Superintend
ent. About four months since, in order
to cut down expenses, they discontinued
the office of Superintendent of Tele
graph, and mixed it with the other duties
of the Assistant Superintendent of the
road. to this time, an operator, who
was unacquainted with the road, and with
railroad business, was never allowed to
take charge of an office, until he had
practiced in some office on the line at
least a week, and , often longer, in order
that he might become acquainted with
the numbers of tho trains and the man
ner in which train orders are sent. , This
operator. who is accused of "gross neg
lect of duty," was brought \to the road,
a total stranger, this same day, and was
working his first night on the line. He
had no instructions whatever; did not
know the number of a train on the road,
the names of stations or , the calls of the
different offices. !
"The investigating committee certainly
closed their eyes when the above stub.
born facts came up before them. - High
officials wish to be oonsidered immacu
late, and not capable of committing a•
blunder, and it is handy to have some
one to blame for all these bloody scenes.
I think I have given you the facts."
Unlike some of dtir restaurants, the
Continental, from its peculiar location,
is always cool and pleasant, a fact which
materially adds to the attractions of the
place. Half of the enjoyment of a repast
is taken away when it is eaten in a situ
ation where the heat is so great that the
eater feels uncomfortably hot. Add to
this attraction the bountiful supply of
the good things of life which are daily
spread upon the table, and the reason of
the great success 7hich has attended'the
Continental during the hot weather even
is easily explained. Mr. Holtzheimer
understands' his business, and by con
sulting, without regard to expense, the
wants and -wishes of his patrons, he has
achieved for his establishment an unsur
passed reputation. To patronize it once
is but the prelude to other calls, at least
such has been the experience of hun
dreds who crowd around the board daily.

We had occasion a short time ago to
call public attention to a portion of the.
suburbs of Allegheny city, which had
heretofore been comparatively unnoticed
by parties in quest of building lots. The
plot consisting of 43 acres was recently
purchased by Mr. Jonathan Gallagher,
gentleman well known for his capability
for opening up property and bringing it
into the market. This property is situa
ted on the eminence to the right of the
Saw-mill Valley Pland road, known as
the low road to Perrysville, and has been
laid MT into sites of ono to live acres each,
with a number of the usual sized build
ing lots. The first auction sale took
Place two weeks ago. Public attention
has since been made to this locality in
such a degree as to induce the owner to
make another sale this season, which
will comir on Friday next, at two and a
half ...o'clock. Persons who are unac
quainted with this locality, would do
well to attend the sale, if for nothing
else than to observe the wonderful im
provements that are gains on in this vi
cinity. Plans, and all information will
be furnished by the Auctioneer,, Mr. A.
Leggate, 159 Federal street, Allegheny.
Beyond all question, one of the very
best that mechanical ingenutty has yet
produced, is the Weed, at 116 Market
street.
