The Trustees of Plum Creek Church and
Congregation, which was a petition for a
mandamus to command the defendants to
finish a building to be used as a place of
worship and make it suitable for such
purposes. This case has been before the
Court for some time, past in various
phases, and arises out of a disagreement
between the members of the Plum Creek
Church. It appears that a portion of the'
members and trustees concluded to build
a new church at New Texas. The other
portion was opposed to changing the site
of the building and decided to erect . a
new house on the old location. Acting
on this, the latter portion pro
ceeded to demolish the building
and to erect a new one immediate.

obtained to restrain the parties from
prosecuting the work. The work was
continued, however, and the walls run
up nearly to the 'required height. At
this juncture the trustees, a majority of
whom it would seem were in favor of the
New Texas site, were asked to complete
the building, but declined doing so on
the ground that the majority of the con
gregation were opposed to the Conven
non. The house has remained in this
condition for nearly three years past, and
the object of the• present action is to
compel the trustees to complete the
building. Messrs. Mellon and Woods ap

Meeting in the Eleventh 'W and—Ad=
dresses by, Thos. M. Howard and R.
B. Carnahan, Esp.
One of the largest political meetings of
the campaign, outside of City Hall, was
held at the School Hall in the Eleventh
ward last evening. A band of music was
in attendance, and the Second Ward
Geary Club and the Seventh and Eighth
Ward Marching Phalanx turned out' in
strength, which, with the large number
of citizens of the ward and others present,
filled the spacious Hall to its utmost ca•
pacity, and the audience was quiet and
attentive throughout the meeting, save
when - aroused to enthusiasm by the
speeches.
The meeting was called to order by
H. W. Oliver, Jr., on whose motion the
following named gentlemen were elected
officers:
• President —Hon. J. K. Moorhead.
Vice Presidents—Wm. Culp, Joseph A.
Butler, James Cassiday, C. Hanson Love,
Joseph Hartman, S. McChesney, Samuel
Barclay, John Wendlass, W. K. Hart,
T. A. Rowley, D. Fitzsimmons, W. A.
Gildenfenney.
Secretaries—B. F. Kennedy, S. Wash
ington Hill, F. Rainbow.
On taking the Chair Mr. Moorhead
thanked the meeting for selecting him
to preside over it, and after apologizing
for the absence of Judge Kelly, who it
had been announced would address the
meeting, but who had been unexpectedly
called away, introduced Thos. Howard,
Esq., who addressed the meeting in an
able and eloquent manner. The speaker
took up the platform of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania adopted at Harrisburg,
and "went through" it most complet.ely,
after which the national platform of that
party, adopted at Tammany Hall, New
York, on the Fourth of July, 1868,
which he also riddled. The financial
policies of the °wising parties were
then ably discussed and the pros
perity of the country since Grant's
inauguration referred to with telling
effect. In conclusion, Mr. Howard con
sidered the claims of the opposing can
didates for Governor to the suffrage of the
people of Pennsylvania, and thought
that the claims of. General Geary, woo
was covered with wounds in the defence
of the nation's honor during the great
rebellion, were supreme to those of Asa
Packer, th 6 money bags of Mauch
Chunk, who bad been dodging the tax
collectors, to escape paying his taxes to
defray the expenditures of the war.
R. B. Carnahan, Esq., was then intro
duced, and made a pertinent speech. and
closed by calling upon all present to turn
out on election day,giving such a majority
in Allegheny county as would Weyer
put Pennsylvania out of the list of doubt
ful States.

gested as candidates for the various offi
ces by the Republicans of the Sixth

and Announce Full Lines now Beady
for the Inspection of their Patrons.
The falling leaves, cool evenings coax
ing the genial warmth of fire, frost-coated
mornings causing the blood to chill and
grow cold, are all evidences that winter
is approaching and that the season is
near at hand when the ladies will bedon
ning their furs as a measure of defence
against the blasts of cruel King Winter.
As Fashion is , fickle and ever-changing
doubtless many of our lady friends will
have to make new selections in order
to replenish their wardrobes and
it will be received kindly for us to say a
few words of William Fleming t Co.'s
popular fur emporium, No. 139 Wood
street. The name of this house is as fa
milliar to our readers as a household
word and it is known equally as well
hundreds of miles about us, and is as
suggestive of ladies' furs as is winter it
self. As in previous seasons, so in the
present this great representative house
leads all .others in the extent, va
riety and style of their goods as
well as in the very low prices at which
they are sold. The stock with which
they commence their fall and winter
trade is immense in its proportion, far
surpassing and excelling that of any
other house in the city. It was pur
chased from the largest and best manu
facturers in the United States during the
summer months, at such prices as will
enable Messrs. Fleming & Co. to sell at
from 15 to 25 per cent. less than regular
figures. The stock consists of Mink,
Sable, German Fitch, Water Mink, Sibe
rian Squirrel, Astrican and Persian
Lamb of various grades and varieties,
and manufactured ,into the latest
styles of Cloaks, Berthas, Lugenias,
Collars, Muffs and Boas, all of which
will prove highly attractive to our lady
readers. Those desiring to purchave this
season would do well to do so at once, as
they will thus secure great advantages,
both in selection and prices, as in pro;
portion as the season advances furs al
ways enhance in value. In conclusion,
let us again take occasion to impress on
our readers the fact that at no where
else in the city can they secure as wide
selection and as great bargains as at the
popular and extensive Hat, Cap and La
dies' Fur house of Wm. Fleming & co.,
No. 139 Wood street.

[CARD FROM W. S. HAvwr & co.]
In explanation of the statement made
in Wednesday morning's Ccnimereial
with reference to illegal tickets having
been issued by the Executive Committee
of the Temperance and Reform move
ment, we wish to say that, through a
Misunderstanding between the person
having charge of the printing for the
Committee - and the foreman In our
office, a few tickets were incorrectly
printed, but that so soon as the error
was discovered, orders - were oven to
suspend the printing until the error
I could be corrected. We also wish to
' state that none of the tickets have been
put in - circulation' but have all been
destroyed. W. S. HAVEN & CO.

Odd Feliws Hall, Latrobe, for the pur
pose of presenting a gold watch and
chain to Mr. Uriah Heacox, Master Me
chanic of the Division. Mr. M. C. Mc-
Millen presided, and Mr. John L. Cham

Jackson made the presentation speech in
the happiest manner imaginable, in
which he took occasion to pay high com
pliment to the worthy recipient, who has
endeared himself to all the ecnployes of
the road.
Samuel Singleton, Esq., responded in
behalf of the recipient in a fitting man
ner. The watch was an elegant-and val
uable one, made by the'United States
Watch Company, stem winder, and one
of the best adjusted movements with
massive solid gold cases, to which was
attached a beautiful heavy gold chain.
Both watch and chain were purchased by

AMUSEMetIft.
Ordsiet Houss.—That John E. Owens .
Is popular with Pittsburgh amusement
seekers, we had abundant evidence in
the crowded house which greeted him
last evening. He remains three nights
more only. Tonight he will appear id
the great characters, "Dr. 01 lopod" in
"The Poor Gentleman." and "Timothy
Toodles" in "Toodles." L9vers of a first
class entertainment and the highest
merit as an actor will appreciate this
entertainment.
PITTSBURGH THEATRE.—The variety
company at this place . of amusement
still continues to attract a large share of
patronage. Their performances are very
attractive and above the average style of
these entertainments.
THE GREOORIES.—The Gregories still
hold forth tit the Academy of Music.
Tanight an entire change in the pro
gramme will take place. This entertain
ment is of that character which pleases
everybody.
MASONIC HALL.—The Philomathic
Circle, a literary organization that has
achieved high reputation from the nu
merous first class musical and literary
entertainments given under the auspices
of the members, will again appear before
the public at Masonic Hall this evening.
The prPgramme Is an excellent one, em
bracing several musical gems, the excel
lent St. Cecelia orchestra band, original
orations, declamations, comic and senti
mental, a drama and farce. We hope
there will be a crowded audience, and we
can assure all who attend a pleasant and
enjoyable evening.
KEYSTONE RINE.—The first exhibition
of the sterescoptico panorama of Bun
yan's Pilgrim Progress takes place at the
Keystone Skating Rink tonight. Aside
from the meritorious object of these ex
hibitions, they should street large audi
ences -for their intrinsic merit. The
musical exercises alone are well worth

tioutli Common Nuisance
We learn that some of the citizens on
Stockton Avenue west of Federal street,
Allegheny, have resolved to institute
legal proceedings for the abatement of
the unsightly and noisome , nuisances
which have • most unaccountably been
suffered to remain ana accumulate on the
Common and to mar and obstruct - the
avenue. Hoping to avert the scandal and
the cost of such a proceeding, we have
heretofore given place to sundry commu
nications from the aggrieved citizens; sup
pressing also several on account of their
casstic, although just severity.
We allude to the subject now in the
hopefthat the suit which we are told is
seriously determined upon, may yes be
averted by such prompt action of the
proper authority, as the case clearly de•
mends. The delinquent officer, whether
Mayor, Street Commissioner or Park
Commissioners, on whichsoever the duty
falls, should himself be mulcted in all
the costs to which private citizens may,
by such gross and persistent neglect of
duty, be forced to bring on the city. If
the reader will visit the spot - he will dis
miss all doubt of the justice of our re
marks, and of the structures of our cor
respondents upon this subject;
[Extract from aletter from Jernsa:em.3
"We started early to ascend Mt. Olivet,
to behold the sun gild the minarets and
towers of the devoted city, from.the place
where memory, stirred by a thousand as
sociations, shoald exalt the mind as well
as the eye to the inspiration of the scene.
Well is the voyager repaid for long trav
els, horrid roads, antediluvian cookery,
squalid companionship and the impor
tunities of begging, thieving Arabs.
Well would it have repaid you, Oh! man
of commerce and the crucible! and well
might you have been reminded of your
own city, for here, painted upon , a board
nailed against one of the huge ancient
olive trees, under which the sacred
martyrs toiled for the sins of the world,
eighteen hundred years ago, were these
familiar figures, S. T.-1860—X. We do
not know who did it, bat no doubt some
poor invalid traveler, cured by the
PLANTATION BITTERS, wished to adver
tise their virtues in a place from whence
all knowledge flows."

—The New York .. Times says the crash
in kooks Tuesday afternoon, bar. it is
said, , seriously affected many houses
which escaped the crash in gold that
week. Houses which suffered by the
fall in the gold market snd were brought
almost to the verge of ruin could not be
expected to withstand the double shock,
and it is expected that today will reveal
the fact that avery large number of firms
have gone under. If the Gold Exchange
Bank should fail to meet - its obligations,
or if a run should be made on that insti
tution, it is expected that the crash in
Wall street will be entirely overwhelm

dition Is felt certain, that it has lost the
confidence of the brokers is a fact, and
with this support withdrawn from it the
end of that institution must soon follow.
The. Herald calls on Congress to enact a
law against gold gambling, and holds
Secretary /3ontwell responsible for the
present bad state in monetary affairs.
