LOCAL AFFAIRS.
Disastrous Pire---Tho Fort Pitt Irota
Works Lturned to the Ground... Over
$lOO,OOO Worth of Property Destroyed.
On Thursday morning, at about half past three
o'.:lock, it was discovered that the Fort Pitt Iron
Works, at the corner of Etna and O'Hara streets;
one of the oldest ;established foundries in the city.
0+,1,0.1 by Messrs. Knap, Wade & Co., was on fire.
Tim engines arrived on the ground as soon as possi
ble, but all their exertions could not save the works,
and their efforts were directed to the protection f
the adjoining buildings, which were with great diffi
culty saved. The whole of the works, with the ex
ception of the effice, which was constructed fire
proof, was des royed. The engine shop ware the
portion first discovered to bo on fire, a brick building
about a hundred and fifty feet in length by forty feet
in width. A large quantity f patterns stored in the
upper part of this building were all destroyed.
This building contained a large engine and other
machinery. The fire then extorded to the boiler
situp, a two story iron building, nearly three hundred
Mot long, on the bank of the Allegheny. in this
building were also stored a quantity ut patterns,
which only serve to cud the Hawes. The fire then
communicated to ;Ls toaudry herding, which was
one hundred and fifty ;eel in length, and one hun
dred in width, containing three large air furnaces;
the only part of this pile now b3maining are the im
mense stacks, which are not injured. The cannon
boring shop, a two-story brick building, was next
coosuwed, with all its valuable machinery, the can-.
nun, of course, being saved. Here the fire was met
by the thor wing, which, extending in the other
direction had, after burning the sermnd story of the
cffice, communicated ton row 01 smithshope on Etna
street, which were totally consumed.
The loss of property is very great; indeed, it is
almost impossible to form a correct estimate of the
amount. However, we believe the following to be
nearly correct: Boiler and smith shop, $50,000; pat
terns and machinery, $35 .1 .000; engine and furnish
ing shop, $l5 000; foundry and castings, $15,000;
cannon boring mill, $lO,OOO. Total loss, $125,000.
The buildings occupied an entire square, about throe
hundred and twenty five feet in length by one hun
dred and fifty in width ; the engine shop, in which
the fire originated, was a four story brick building.
To cover this loss of $125,000, the firm is insured as
follows: In the Western, and Citizens' of Pittsburgh,
the Franklin of Philadelphia, the Delaware Mutual,
and the Home of New York, $6,900 each, and in
the Reliance $3,000. Total amount of insurance,
$37,500.
The Water Works, separated from the engine shop
by O'llaru street, were in itriminent danger for a long
time, and at one time it reamed almost impossible to
save them. The window frames were a good - deal
charred. We understand it was the intention of the
officers of the works to have made the building fire
proof by putting in iron window frames. These wero
on the ground, but had never been put in.
The finishing shop of Messrs. A. Bradley it Co
on E:tin street, was also in groat danger, and took
fire several times ; but the firemen, seeing they could
not extinguish the fire in the works, turned their at.
caution to the surrounding buildings, and they were
saved. Some o•hor buildings were also on fire sev
oral times, but were extinguished without material
injury.
The foundry of Messrs. Zug & Painter is separated
from the Furt Pitt Works by a narrow street. Mr.
Painter, one of the proprietors, was present, and of
fered the Fairmount fire company $l,OOO if they
would save the property. They accordingly took
their station inside the building, and on crery ap
pearance of Ore on the inside, directed their stream
to that .particular point—and by this means, with
the exertions of the Niagara on the outside, the
building was saved.
Nu serious accidents occurred, except the injury
of one fireman by the fulling of something on his
head.
The night was extremely windy, and the noble
firemen cannot receive too much credit for their exer
tious. Yet, however much wo way appreciate their
efforts, we cannot but believe that a change in the
tire arrangements in our city would be beneficial.
It is more than probable that had wo been provided
with four or five steam engiriPs, with properly organ.
lied and paid firemen, and a watch tower and alarm
bell, the fire in this case would never have extended
beyond the engine shop—and thus a sufficient amount
of property would have been saved to purchase these
engines and keep them in operation for a year. The
wind Nas so high yesterday morning that the feeble
streams of our hand engines bad but little effect, a
great portion of the water being blown into spray
and scattered about. The heavy stream of a steam
apparatus is irresistible, never affected by the wind,
and pouring a powerful deluge of water into a burn.
ing building. We think the establishment of such a
system is necessary for the protection of the property
of our citizens. It may be expensive at first, but in
the end it will prove a good investment.
Alleged Forgery
Ye3terday morning, a man named Robert Lafferty
made information against William C. Bovard, charg
ing him with forging his endorsements on several
notes of hand. Lafferty states that some time in last
February ho discovered that there wore certain
promissory notes outstanding, purporting to be en
dorsed by him, which endorsements he found upon
examination to be forged. One of these notes was
drawn by Williar, C. Bovard, and dated September
11th, 1857, payable to the order of John Gtetha, six
months after date, for one hundred dollars, which
note Lafferty saw in the hands of Gtetha. Gzetha
also held another note dated December 7th, 1857,
drawn by Bovard, and made payable to the order o:
It short Lafferty, four months after date, for two hun
dred and twenty dollars. A third note was also held
by Kramer & Rahm, dated September 30th, 1857, at
four months, drawn by Bovard to the order of Wm.
Irwin, and endorsed by him, for four hundred dol
lars. Lafferty swore that he believed Bovard had
forged his name to those notes. A warrant was issued
on this information, and Bovard was arrested, and
after an examination held to bail in' the sum of
$lOOO. The most singular feature in this prosecu.
tiun is that not one of the three notes was offered in
evidence. There was, perhaps, sufficient evidence to
hind the accu ed -over, but we doubt whether the
charge can bo sustained before the Court without
producing the notes. Buvard is a resident of the
s'ixth ward, and has hitherto borne an irreproacha
ble character.
coat Boats Sunk--Four Lives Lost.
Oo Wednesday afternoon quite a number of coal
boats lett the city for below. Among these were
three pair, one belonging to John Penney, one to
Dravo do Son, and a pair of barges to Smithley /r,
Co. Fifteen men were employed on these boats.
Penney's boats were piloted by John Rupert and
Daniel Pollard. About half past eleven o'clock,
when they had reached Georgetown, the gale which
had been b*.owing all evening increased in violence,
and those who witnessed it say some of the waves wore
ton feet high. The bouts kecame unmanageable,
and, in order to save theinserves, eleven of the party
got into a skiff and started for the shore, intending to
return for the rest, but reached the land with diffi.
ulty, too late to be of any assistance to the others.
Four were left on the boat; one of these, Robert
Munkitrick, when he found the boat sinking, jumped
into the river to swim to shore, but could not reach
that point. The others, George Pilgrim, of Eliza
beth township, William Saye, and a man named
Pickens ' from Saw Mill Run, wont down with the
boats. Munkitrick was the son of a widow lady
in M'Keesport, who lost a son in the same manner
tour or five years since.
Theatre—Benefit of Lucille.—The benefit of this do
corvine young lady to-night will afford to her. numer,
oils admirers an opportunity of testifying their just
appreoiatic nof her rare talent. The bill of fare"
that she has selected consists of the capital play of
"Asmodous," in which she plays the minstrel Carlo;
and the " Wandering Boys" affords both herself and
sister excellent parte in Paul and Justin; in this
piece they sing the " Wandering Boye of Switzer
land," in which they have beon much admired forthe
peculiar st7eetnees soici paweir thattlhei give it. Nir.
Hamilton appeare ale° in hie great part of Join Daggs,
the Wandering /Wastrel, singing the excellent song
et . " Villiaens and hie Dinah." With such a bill as
this, we hope the Theatre will be filled to overflowing,
and we are certain that all the ladies will be present,
,c Lucille will present to each one a boquet of natural
flowers.
==l
Thaltery and Vicustenips.—All the musical tuna.
tours, and all persons in the habit of attending con
'rte, are anxious for tho arrival of the groat celeb
rities, Thalberg and Vieuxtemps, who are to ghe a
concert hero next week. We fear that all of them
will not be able to obtain seats, as they only contem
plate giving one concert hero. We regret that they
cannot give more, but their engagements elsewhere
v.ill not permit thom to remain more than one clay.
We anticipate a larger and more fashionable auctieneo
than has assembled in City Hall fora long time. We
observe by the Southern papers that this tronpa has
boon very F u °easeful. From twelve concerts in New
Orleans the nett proceeds were sixteen thousand dol
l/ire. This will certainly prove a paying tour for
fhalberg and his associates.
A Serious Oharge.—A man named Wash. Warner,
who keeps a drinking house for the accommodation
of colored folkr, on Third street, made information
yesterday against Aldertnn Pagers, hefo . o Alderman
Steele, charging him with , idegal 'proceedings by
committing him to jail. le swears that he was ar
rested some time since for keeping a tippling house,
and taken before Alderman Rogers, that he offered
toil, and that the Alderman refused to qualify or
take them as security for his appearance,at Court.
Warner was admitted to bail by the Commissionora.
This seems to be a bad affair, but there may be Sado
explanation which will gibe 1(a'1088 harsh aspect.
That Fox Hunt.—The 35iinrodo who lett our city
for the purpose of hi.ving a " brush " with Reynard,
on Wednesday, returned home on that evening with
out having captured a fox. Some of them were very
indignant at the stupidity of those stationed on a
certain portion of the line, which was not closed in=
thus giving the animals a chariot, to escape. Some
of the valiant gentlemen say they saw a fox—we
heard of more than one, whether included in the
Pittsburgh delegation or not we are unable to state,
who might have seen two.
First Arrival of Spring Goods at Carnaghan'a, Al
legheny City.—A very full and elegant stook of cloths,
new style cassitneros and vestings, furnishing goods,
&0., for mon and boys' wear, are now opened, to which
the attention of cash buyers is invited. Terms being
strictly cash, buyers may rely on the prices being
favorable.
Alderman Latvia hold Michael Portser to bail yea :

Country Items.
On Friday morning, the sth inst., two young men,
Joseph and Samuel Matthews, of Ligonier Valley,
left Latrobe, on their way home, in a two horse wagon.
Near Latrobe, the box fell from the wagon and struck
against the horses' heels, and they became frightened.
Joseph sprung from the wagon and caught the horses
by the head, but one of the tramped on his
foot, trod him under his feet, and getting loose from
his hold, ran off. Two of tto wheels of the wagon
passed over his body, injuring him so severely that
his life was at first despaired of His brother Samuel
was thrown from the wagon, and had his thigh
broken, within a few yards of where his brother lay,
and in this helpless condition, neither able to seqist the
other, they were obliged to remain, until a boy who
was passing procured assistance. Surgical aid was
obtained, and both are now doing well.
Mr. A. D. Tolls, of Franklin, was swindled out of
a horse and sleigh some two weeks since, in the fol
lowing manner : A man ) representing himself as Mr.
Levi Dutchess, of Cranberry township, Venango
county, called on him, and hired a horse and sleigh
for the purpose, he alleged, of going home, promising
to return in a day or two. The vehicle and horse
were not forthcoming at the appointed time, but Mr.
Tolls was not surprisei, as Mr. Dutchess was known
to be a responsible man; but when a week had ,
elapsed ho despatched an officer to the residence of
Mr. Dutchess, who ascertained that he (Dutchess)
was not the man that hired the rigging. The fellow
had too much of a start for successful pursuit, and
he was not followed. Neither thief nor property have
since been heard of.
On Wednesday night of last week, several young
men were at a singing school in Chippewa township,
Beaver county. After it was over, Mr. H. F. Scott
and his cousin started and rode a short distance,
turned and rode at full speed in the other direction,
Scott being ahead. They had proceeded but a short
distance when they were met by Mr. F. Beatty, who
was also riding vary fast to overtake Scott and his
companion; the night being very dark, and both
riding at full speed, the horses of Scott and Beatty
came into . collision, striking fair on their heads,
knocking both horses down, ar.d breaking the neck
of Mr. Scott's animal, which died almost instantly.
The riders were thrown to the ground by the shook,
but neither was seriously hurt.
On last Thursday afternoon a week, two boys,
named Wood and Ark. lean, were crossing the oanal
at New Brighton, when the ice gave way and they
fell in. A man who went to rescue them also broke
through. They were all rescued, but one of the boys
was very neatly drowned.
Rev. A. B. Bradford, of New Castle, delivered an
address before the Young Mens' Library Association
of New Brighton on Wednesday evening, the 10th
inst. The subject of his address was "Shakspeare."
Mr. B. is a pleasing and fluent speaker, and while
he eulogized the powers of the Bard of Avon, he
loudly ex4timed against modern theatricals. He
ihinks if we cannot have Shakspeare without resorts
ing to the Theatre, which be characterizes as the by t
bed of vice, we had better do without him entirely.
We understand that the independent police, in
imitation of the officers in the employ of the city,
are about to provide themselves with stars to desig
nate their office. Of course they have a right to do
this, and no one will prevent them, but the rivalry
between the two corps of police is very strong, and
we - fancy there will be trouble before long. We
heal d an officer say yesterday that if the independent
police wear silver stars, he will have have one made
of gold. Rather a costly badge, we imagine!
Sale* of gtocka.—The following sales of stooks
were made last evening at the IllerehanteEseliange,
by Messrs. Austin Loomis it Co.:
600 shares Cenral Mining Company $1 00

Died of his Wounds.—Mr. Brown, the Burgess of
Monongahela City, and formerly a resident of this
county, whom we alluded to as having been seriously
injured by a log rolling over him, diod from his in
juries on last Tuesday. Previous to his death, it was
thought amputation might save his life; the opera
tion was performed, but without any good result, as
he died the next day.
Punish Tkem.—Notwithstanding the example the
Mayor made a short time since by fining several
members of a fire company who drew their apparatus
=p Smithfield street, we observed several men draw
ing a hose reel up the same street yesterday morning
about nine o'clock, regardleis of everything on the
sidewalk. We hope the Mayor will punish severely
all who are guilty of this hereafter.
Mayor's Office.—On Wednesday night the watch
house was well tenanted, there being on hand twenty
,no eases ; eight of these wore of the usual charac
tar; six were committed and two discharged. The
remainder, thirteen in number, were arrested et
about one o'clock, for disorderly conduct at a ball on
Fifth street. They were discharged on payment of
the costs, after receiving a reprimand from the

Weekly Review of Pittsburgh Markets,
The anxiously looked-for opening of navigation has at
length arrived, and since Monday our wharves have pro.
sento quit( an animated appearance. But few steamers
have, as yet, g-ne out or arrived, but the busy hum of prep
aration gives indication of the advent of a prosperous spring
business, and a more cheerful tone already pervades every
department of trade. The demand for Pittsburgh mancfac
tures from the West has greatly improved, an f nearly all of
ore milli have rammed work. It is probable that all the
stearm-re ut:t. wail have good loads, although there is
not a large atiaaml of I. ,t,ite!o inerchandize awaiting ship
