Arrtaioflhe Allegrd Matderer of Habn I lie Drover. A young colored man named Harry Young, alias Charles Williams, was arrested early this morning in Alexandria, charged with the murder of Frank Habn, the Virginia drover, on Friday night, and brought to Washington and imprisoned at the police fheadquartera. The proof against him ig considered conclu sive, a witness, before the Coroner's jury this morning, swearing to nis identity and ai hay ing seen him a short time previous to the murder talking to the deceased, and inform' ing him that the nearest way to the Alexan dria depot was through the Armory Square Jot, where the dead body of the drover was subsequently found, tbe head shockingly man' eled. On inspection of Ihe prisoner's boot it was found that the strip of lining which had been cut out corresponded with the leather used in the preparation of the slung ehot with which Habn was beaten to death. I be prisoner about 12.30 o'clock on Saturday morning call ed at a tavern on the Virginia side of the Long Bridge, and asked for whisky.

He showed to the proprietor of the tavern a dialt on a Baltimore for three hundred and tweotytoue dollars and twelve cents, ask ing the proprietor whether the banks in Alexandria would pay the money for it, and at what time tbe banks were open. On his ques tions being answered, he called for more whis. ky, and then took the road to Alexandria, five miles distant. This fact was communicated to Detective Clarvoe by the tavern keeper on Saturday, and Detective McDevitt went to Baltimore and ascertained tbat Hahn had deposited exactly lhal amount in a Baltimore bank on Friday and had received from the bank the identical check. The detectives worked all day Saturday ud Sundiy, without intermission, determined to accomplish their object, and last night arrested the prisoner at his residence in Alexandria.

It appears that be knew of Hahn's business, and suspected he had on bis person a large sum of money, and that be (Habn) was inloxicated on Ihe night of the murder. The negro is a medium sized man, about 25 years old, and exhibits considerable fear of tbe consequences of his crime. The officers have refrained from removing him from his cell fur he purpose of having bis picture taken, because of ihe inteoae excitement which pre sails, and the threats to execute summary eugenx on the prisoner.

There were some twenty officiating clergymen present, and while the organ was sending forth its peals, and the requiem for the dead was being sung, a loud crack was beard, which the audience supposed came from the gallery, and from the general opinion that it was giving away, there arose a most fearful panic. At once consternation seized every one in the house.

Loud screams from women and children took the place of the organ peals. A rush was made to the doors anil immediately scores ot woman and children fell and were trampled beneath the feet of the inasa of human beings which became wedged in between the front gate and the door, lour reporter let but fortunately got away without injury. There the mass stood, stubborn, immovable. The groans of those benelh were fearful. It was fully ten minutes before the work of making an ing for the crowd to pass out Into tbe street was ellected.

htalwart men were all the time busily engaged in pulling out the women and children. it was a shocking sight. As they were taken out with blackened and bloody faces, they were carried to near residences. Physi cians were summoned and the extent of the damage began to be apparent. Jn tbe priest hou two women were pros trated on the floor in spatins, and a little baby with disfigured face and broken arm.

A little girl about twelve years of age was suffering from internal injuries. At this moment things are quieted down, although a vast crowd is in the street, brought together br the wildest ruuiois. In the midst of tbe excitement ladders were thrown up to the windows, and women and children were taken out. Some of the win dows were broken. The appeals of the clergy who had jumped out of the windows and come to the front door for the mass to relreit back into the churc assuring them that there was no danger, were unavailing.

The noise did not come from the defect the gallery, but from the breaking of a kneel ing board in the gallery. 1 he services the church have been resumed. PENNSYLVANIA. The Mow rce Bill. IUrrisboRu, March 31.

The Master Builder or He ml H. Cheetham's Establishment. The planiog mill of Mr. J. II.

Cheetham, on Carpenter street below Franklin, is one of the mcst complete establishments in the city. The establishment was formerly owned end conducted by Mr. William R. llertzel, who for many years has been a prominent Master Builder in our city. Last fall, however, Mr.

Hertzel sold out to Mr. J. II. Cheetham, who took possession on the first of last November. Since then the mill has undergone many im portaul alterations, and tne whole interior has been changed.

Partition walls have been taken out, aud the operations of the establishment been greatly simplified. The office has been removed from the second to tbe first main floor, new machinery has been intro duced and tbe mill is now a model one in every respect. The proprietor, Mr. Cheetham, though a comparatively young man, has had an extensive experience as a builder. He wss for a number of years ennai'ed in the establishment of Messrs.

Eisenhower, Fink and was formerly (lie Superintendent of George W. Garst's planing mill on Eighth street below Chestnut. On account of the central location if tbe mill, being within aiquareof Penn street, and only a short distance from the business centre of the city, it is constantly crowded with work. This is the more tbe case this spring than ever, and orders are constantly being received both lor work in this city and in the surrounding country. A still further enlargement of I be mill has therefore been found necessary It Mr.

Cheetham, and accordingly, as early during the present season as possible, an addition of a new wing, 60x30 feet and three stories in height will be made. The present dimensions of Ihe mill are ninety leet in front on Carpenter street, by a depth ol sixty feet. The main building is built of brick, three stories high, with basement underneath. The first floor 90x30 feet with a wiog attached 00x30 feet. In tbe basement is the engine room, where is siationed a first class fifteen horse power engine, that lurnish.a the motive power of the estab ishiuent.

To tbe rear of the engine room is a machine, abop and smithery, well Ventilated and lighted, as is, in fact, the whole basemeut, a portion thereof being above ground. The machine shop is complete in all its appointments, being supplied with lathes tor turning iion and steel, emory wheels for shaipeuiug tools, blacksmith's forge an w.nk i euches. lu this department are also the moulding bils for tbe grooving aud moulding machines. A turning department ia also in the basement, where every description of turning is exe cuted, including material for cabinet and chairmakera' work. This department is supplied with a number of turning lathes, and is at present conducted by Mr.

George W. Car ver, to whom it lias been leased. Ihe remainder of the basement is used for storage purposes. ihe main first floor of the establishment is devoted to the cutting department where the lumber is cut to proper Bize, and prepared for all tbesubstqueut opr lions for doors, shutters, window liaiuis, si iifc Themaincut ling apartment ia leet. with a wagon drive into the mill, ten feet wide for the admission of wagotis loaded with lumber.

Ibis apartment is provided with an improved planer, manufactured by F. Ball Worcester, a Smith moulding ma chine; and jig, cross cut, rip, and circular saws. A swinging cross cut saw, which is found better adapted to the required purpose will shortly be substituted for the present croes cut saw. It will be tbe only saw of the kind in the city. Tbe first floor of the 60x30 wing is used for the storage of planed plank I I 1 i .1 r.

vision rough plank and boards are dried, and in the upper, planed msteiial, doors, shutters, The second floor of tbe establishment is divided into several apartments. It is here where the frame work of deors, shutters and sash is done after the material has left the cutting department below. In the main room, which is 90x30 feet, there are a number of benches at which hands are employed. The principal machinery is a large Power mortiser, leneting machines, jig and circular saws, and all other necessary machinery. The department where tbe finished material is joined together, is also on the second floor, aud is 00x30 feet in size.

In this department a number of handsome window and doorframes are being finished for the new residence of George M. Erinentrout, which will be erected on Centre Avenue, as well as the walnut doors for the residence of William M.Griscom, on Walnut street above Fourth. The sash department is by itself, in a room on tbe second floor, 16x20 feet in Bize.

This partnient contains a considerable amount of machinery, including an ornamental moulding machine, panel raiser, blind slat teueting machine, jig saw, rip and circular saws. Tbe size of the department is oOidO leet, and the room ia also supplied with a number of work benches. The building is heated throughout with steam pipes, aud i made as comfortable as possible for tbe workmen, of whom there are about thirty employed in tbe mill. The office is on tbe hrst floor, and is very cosy, beintr well enclosed and removed from tbe noise and racket of tbe planing mill.

It is 14x20 feet in size with a private office in the rear. A hardware department is connected wilh the office, where is kept a full supply of alt the necessary hardware used in buildings, and which is bought by Mr. Cheetham from the manufactures and wholtsale dealers. A spacious yard in tbe rear of tbe establishment is used for the storage of lumber. Mr.

Cbeetham is at present emzaired in filling a number of orders for mill work out side of the city. Doors, shutters, and frames, are sent from his establishment to every section of Berks, and to all the neighboring colinties. He has also a large amount of town work on hand, the most important of which the erection ol a new building for Mr. Prank Keller, No. 520 Penn street, adjoining the diy goods store of Messrs.

Kline, Eppi lumei Co. Tbe work of tearing down the old building upon this location was commenced last week, and tbe back building haa been already leve led wilh the ground. The new building will be three stories high, and 12 feet deep, which depth will also be tbat of the store room on the brat floor. The building will be modeled after Kline, Eppi himer's Go's establishment, and the front will he furnished with large plate glass show windows. Tbe store room will be occupied by Mr.

George Haak, dealer in glass ware. Mr. Cheetbam anticipates a very brisk building season. It has thus far been retarded by the backwardness of spring, but when the season once commences, carpenters, builders, and all engaged in the trade will be crowded wilh work. The extension of Mr.

Cheetham's establishment will give him great additional facilities for turning out work rapidly. The bench hands will all be WmnVul Ik. VlaM and in tbe portion of the mill now occupied by those workmen, new and improved machinery will be introduced. Death of Rev. Dr.

D. Weeks, of Pittsburgh. XSCQUS ADVERTISING SCHEMES. An ei change says that ever since the era of advertising was inaugurated, business men of all classes have been made the victims of a certain class of men who, with flippant speech and with a persistency as provoking as it would be admirable in a better cause, have persuaded them to enter into their particular schemes. These schemes are numerous, as many an ad vertiser can attest, and when we weigh their influence in a calm, impartial manner, we shall become convinced tbat they are a sub lime traud upon a too lenient advertising public aud that the advertiser, when he has submitted to the imposition, has literally thrown his money away.

The schemes of these honey tongaed and metaNvisaged gentry, who besiege the unwaiy I lit auveruaer on every umui ana oore mui into giving them an "ad," which the advertiser generally does to get rid of bim are, as v.e nave heretolore mentioned, exceedingly There is the hotel register scheme, hole! and board and in other operations of the mill. i A drying department adjoins the wing, and l0Selier lh other schemes too namer nnmnumiMiM niih tb. "a 10 uwauon. xow, wnai me honest double doors. This has been a advertisers want, and indeed what every ad tion of Mr.

Cheetham's. It is heated with steam pipes, and any degree of heat that may be desired can be introduced. It is two stories high and has a capacity of drying half a car load or lumber at a time, in the lower di vertiser in the land wants, is the greatest return for the amount of money invested. In order to secure this there is but one reliable methed, and lhat is the newspaper, for which there is a demand, because of its worth. The American people are pre eminently a reading people, ana ot an the literature thrown broad cast over the country, that of the newspaper predominates and is most generally read.

The people are gradually being educated up to tbe practice of looking into the advertising columns of the newspaper in order to find where their wants can be supplied. This being the fact, it is patent to every sensible advertiser that the place to display his wares, is where they wiil be the most likely to be seen and read. In conclusion, then, the advertiser, in order to receive a rich return for his investment, must seek the most reliable medium, which is most emphatically the newspaper, and the wise and judicious adverlieer will always reject every other. Miss Neilson's admirers in Reading will read with interest the following highly com plimenlary notice in connection with her last appearance at Pittsburgh. It is from tbe Mail of Saturday "As we predicted, the closing nights of Miss Neilson's engagement exceed anything ever witnessed in dramatic loving circles in this city.

A dramatic furore baa seized our people, which considering the ciraumaiances, cannot be wondered at. Miss Neilson's "Rosalind" is to the drama what the sparkle aad flavor is to wine what the dew and fragrance is to flowers, or tbe bloom to a luscious peach. Tantalizing, impulsive, arch with the grace, and glow, and audacity of youth, Bhe wins you ere she opens her lips. Voice, figure, action: ail seem specially adapted to the part. Such a "Rosalind" we have never looked upon before, and we fear we never will again until fortune favors us once more with Misa Neilsoo or her peer, which last is something we can scarcely look for in a generation.

Last night ladies, as well as gentlemen, blocked the aisles and passage ways. As usual MissNeilson was called out between the acts, and was again made the recipient of a bouquet of flowers that would excite the admiration of an horticulturist." Tdk completion of the Nescjuehoning tunnel near Mauch Chunk admitting the cars of the Lehigh and Kiisquehanna Railroad through a mountain into the valley of Tanth er Creek, from where the tunnels and drifts of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company diverge into the neighboring, anthracile mountains has put an end lo one of the finest pieces of engineering which this country has produced. The coal will now be shipped through the tunnel instead of over Ihe gravity roads heretofore in use which, by means of planes and heavy grades traversed some twenty live miles of territory over mountain tops and through valleys, and was by far the most romantic and interesting railroad journey in this country. This was the first railroad of any importance built in this country a Ihreo foot guage, but haa never had a locomotive on it. It was here tbat tbe first reciprocat've incline railways in the country were constructed, and in short where the coal discoveries were first made and from whence the first shipment of coal took place.
