Shocking Accident in Allegheny
On Monday afternoon, an acoidenl of a
painful (and it may be fatal) character oc
curred on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne &
Chicago Railway, on the West Common, Al
legheny. A lad named Monteith, son of
-Thomas Montoith, cabinet maker, residing on
Carroll street, near Federal, in the Second
ward, had both iegs shockingly crushed by
falling from a car upon the track. It seems
' that a large- number of boys attending the
Second Waid School, are in the habit of re
pairing to tho railroad track, and spending
much of their timo in riding on the trains
passing between tho city and the on tor depot. ;
The trains arc required to rnn slowly, and the
boys arc. thns enabled to jump on andoff. On
the evening named, young Monteith, who Is
not yet eleven yean of ago, attempted to
eatchupon k passing train, but missed hia
footing and fell upon .the track. The wheels,
.of the ear passed over both legs, crushing the
bone between the ankle and the knee, and
lacerating the flesh in a horrible manner. Be
was picked np in an Insensible condition, bat
. spon recovered sufficiently to tell where his
f treats lived. Dr. Dickson was called, bnt
o decided not to amputate tbelimbs, as the
—Uttle sufferer would most likely have died In
.the operation. He was still living last even
ing, but his recovery is hardly possible—and
even though *he should live, he mast bo crip
pledforlife- ' •' . ,„ , , ,
The proximity of- the Second,vfard School j
to the railroad truck, and the recklessness j
displayed by the boys in jumping upon tho |
trains, has caused serious alarm in the minds j
of hundreds of parents- The officers on the !
trains are not to blame, as they do all in their
. power to keep the boys off. What then is to
bo done ? Borne suggest that the track be
gpneed; hnt this woold not, in oar opinion,,
remedy tho evil. Boys care nothing nowa
days for fences. Tho Railroad Compa
' ny, under thoir contract with tho efty,
agreed to keep a watchman stationed at the
crossing on Pasture lane, and another at tho
Marion avenue crossing, and if this was done
£ht' jratchmbn might at the same tlmo do
pjoek-towarda keeping the boys off tho track.
'The law should, at all events, .be complied
with.
Tho boys may take warning from this sad
. case.: Young Montoith had ooen cautioned
almost daily not to go on the track, but in
fcis love of fun he forget or disregarded this
advioo, and will probably pay the penalty
evith his life.
Ivenile Thieves in Allegheny.
A few ago wo mentioned the arrest of
toMe half-dozen boys,-in Alloghony, charged
with larceny. Soreral of these were found
with stolen articles in Iheir possession, and
wero l-ont to tho Homo of Refuge h/ Mayor
Drum. They belonged to a gang known aa
the'“Forty Thieves,” and it would really seem
that they bars so t boon inappropriately styled,
cither as regards character or nnmbora. On
Tuesday, three more of the gang were brought
befo*o Mayor Drum, charged with stealing
tlireo bandies of wrapping paper from the
store "Of Mrs. Cochran, on heaaral street. It
seems that each lad grabbed up a bundle, and
cimed them to a store keeper on Ohio street,
whsfb they were sold for a mere trifle. The
Mayor bold each of them to bad to answer at
the next ttrm of Court. The p»«nU of these
boys are resywtablo citiiens, and the lads
hare ns other jastjre for acting In this sray
than to obtain spfflajing money.
MaycrCnim informs tu that a large sum
her of boys are now engaged in pilfering from
the store doors in Allegheny, and the oribhay
become ie matter of tome concern. A few days
ago, half a dosan baU were stolen from the
etore door of Sir. Pratt, and at another time a
lad entered Mr. Benney’s stow and was eaugbt
with a eap 9 ocrated under his. coat. There
. jKtfnstobe some infatuation .operating upon
- jjn, pffr.lt of those boys, no doubt growing
-tout of Jack Shepherd training which they
receive in.tfeo gang. There is a fearful re
. reatf pg upon their parents, for
poglcet of proper tewbmg, and especially for
permitting their boys to run about the street*
at night. A boy who deserts the fireside, and
spends his evening? in idleness, will grow up
either a loafer or a rogue, and probably both.
Parents, on the other band, should make home
comfortable and. attractive, and not drive
their boy* oat by unkindness, as many lads
are rufcfJ h* that way. The correction of

Controlling Flowing Oil Wells.
The Titusville Qaxctte, of last week, gives i
the following important intelligence to oil ]
men. The new system will, it is confidently
believed, be effectual in checking the extraor
dinary flow of the wells :
“After testing and experimenting in a
variety of ways, the managing director of the
Back Eye Well, Mr. George Cary, informs us
that by a simple arrangement he can check off
and let on at nis will the flow from his well,
and draw twenty or eight hnndrcd barrek (the
capacity of the well) in twenty-four hoars.
This, he assures as, is acompleto success, and
has been done repeatedly daring the last ten
days, and fhe resalt in every instance was in
every way "satisfactory to aU who witnessed
the operation.

This is on the diriding line between Mary
land and Virginia, and ii in the same county
with Romney, Gon. Kelley's present station.
The neighborhood was harrowed terribly by the
“Soccsh" before the appearance of our troops.
Tbore are no fears now, however. A small
force of roliablo troops could hold for any
length of time that position at Romney, a
njilo or so from which ia the gap known or.
tho “Shades of Death," passing between al
most perpendicular mountains, and in which
but a very small force could gather at a time.
I think the rebels will sec the shades of death
long before they reach there, however. Our
force is well supplied with the best of artil
lery, and when the commander makes the
next moro it will be a sure one, with no draw
back.
Tho Pittsburgh troops in the \ irginia regi
ments are scattered about in every direction,
gome are under Col. Moss, at Elk water,'some
with Gem Kelley, some at Gauley, and some
at Cheat Mountain. There is rery little sick
ness in 'the camps, as far as I can ascertain,
and the men appear to ctyoy everything cx

is at thp “foot of the mountain," and is a
grand location, though nothing of a business

monte at tho “top of the mountain," 2,700
feet above tho level of Baltimore, which Is
said to bo about the greatest railway altitude
in the JJpUcd States. Ono of the grandest
works of ralfway art, probably the most
striking sconery, is along the ascent of this
grade, which is about 120 feet to tho mile,
bringing you at one point about 1,000 feot
above the bed of Ch®** rivor, which stream you

Btnlzcd, That the Sergcant-at-Armi be
directed not to pay Burnett's salary which
has accrued since the close of the extra session.
Mr. Wickliffe, of Ky., saidbe had intended
to propare and submit a proposition some
thing like an obituary notice of hit late col
league. [Laughter.] The latter was not, as
the resolution asserted, “in armed rebellion,'’ 1
but heads a Provisional Government in Ken- i
tucky, a revolutionary convention. Not sat- |
Ufled with tho treatment of this government j
to maintAin- the Union, nor satisfied with tho |
coarse of hie own State, he has assumed the j
important duty of organising another govern
ment, for the bettor protection of the lives,
Herty and liberty of the people of Keo
y, and in this undertaking he has em
ployed Simon Buckner, who is not only some- ’
what similar in name hot in the deeds of Si
mon Gurtnoi, who onco headed the Indians in
Kentucky.
Three times ha 3 the gallant State of Ken
tucky declared by overwhelming majorities
that she would not leave tho United States to
run after strange god 3 or tho so-called
Southern Confederacy. Notwithstanding the
repeated declarations for the Union, and in
violation of tho well-known sentiments of
Kentucky, they had been told the objects of l
tho Convention and of the so-called Southern |
Confederacy, are to relieve thorn from despot- j
ism, and protect their rigbte. Ah 1 we were
deceived. Wo were told by the Executive of
this so-called Southern Confederacy, that it
was intended to respect the condition of Kon
tocky, which It wo# pretended would not be
dene by tho Government of tho United States.
Tho Union men of Kentncky irtrer did dony
tho right of the United States Government to
occupy its soil for the exbrclso 6f the purposes
imposed by the Constitution. Kentncky had
acknowledged her obligations, and expressed
her determination to fulfill thorn. The proc
lamation of the Governor of Kentucky dc- •
ccived the people, but the legislature de
nounced it- Two messengers of peace were
Bent to the Executive of tho United States,
and one to the President of the Southern
Government, to know what was intended to
be done with Kentucky. Tho former said it
wo* intended to maintain tho law 3 and the
Constitution on the United Statos, and that
tbis was believed to be be the wiJI of tho peo
plo of Kentucky. Tbe latter doolarcd that he
intended to respeot tbe_ neutrality of
Kentucky as understood by tho Secession
party in that State. But the Southern i
press did not toll them that he had ma
tured a plan to assert them at three differ
ent points, nor did ho tell them that I
there was on tho statute book of tbe j
Southern gorvernmenta law providing tnon- '
ey and means, 'not to sustain Kentncky
against oppression, bat to carry ber into tbe
Southern Confederacy against the majority of
two-third 9 of the ontirc State. sbo Provin
cial Government of Kentucky was sent to
Richmond. Meanwhile Mr. Burnett is at tbe
head of the new order of affairs, In discharge
of his duty, and nu armed force has been
gathered, composed of young, desperate and
reekless men, commanded by Buckner. In
conclusion Mr. Wickliffe said: “With tho
blessing of God I predict that by the 26th of
December, no hostile foe will be found on the
soil of Kentucky/* [Applause.]
The resolution for tho oxpulsion of Mr.
Burnett was adopted.
On motion of Mr. Stratton, of N. J., a re
solution was adopted allowing Mr. Yorree,
the member from tbe third djstriol of Penn
sylvania, twenty days to Uko testimony be
fore tbe'Reeordcr in Philadelphia, nearly the
whole time allowed by law having been simi
larly consumed by Mr. KUnc, who contests
