T. Bailey Co. BUSINESS ENTEKPB13B. The Wholesale MiUjnery Souse of Porter, Donaldson a. Co.

In ourceliimnsthis morning will be. found (he edvertitH ment of Porter, Donaldson ulioltt-aleiuilliiicry. This firm hat recently moved into the handsome new budding cor-iu Fath avenne and Libertv street, which Iihs Ihd fitted up exdnsivflv "for them and ad-udiably arranged for their business. Their main entrance is on Fifth avenue, but all the cowls are received anil shipiel from the J.ibertv street entrance where they have an elevator renehing all their floors. Throughout the entire building the arrangements to facilitate their business arc all that could be desired.

Thcv have superior advantages lu the way of iood light and cleanliness as the building fronts on three streets and has large windows on all three sides and stands Inch thereby avoiding much dust and dirt. The rooms are all rnrnished plainly, but elegantly, all the furniture being walnut, in oneend'of the first noorara theofllees; 1" tne corner Is the private otllcc with the bookkeeper and salesmen's oniee adjoining. In the other corner is the ladies' dressing room, which is carpeted and furnished In good taste. In fact, we were made to feel that the him bad the interest of their customers always in view, while thev were rltting up this establishment. The tirst floor is devoted to flowers, ribbons and silks, and as last week wks opening week, they had on exhibition quite a lot of Puns and Hew York trimmed hats and bonnets of every shape and color.

One thing we noticed was that no two shapes were alike, and to us they all looked like thev had been worn to a political meeting at City Hall. Home werojjturned up in front, others turned nn all around, while some were tucked in on every side. Judging from the pattern shown us, we would say that flowers were to be the principal trimming, aud from the stock shown bv P. 1. one who knows nothing about the extent of the business would imagine that they had enough to supply the whole Ktate of Pennsylvania.

They "were opened out on shelves, racks and tables, and every place where they had any spare room you wonld find a bo of flowers, and of almost all the varieties known, trom tho lily of the valley to the very largest roses, camel inn, violets, fuschlas, water lilies and many others that vie with nature in shades, lint ana formation. Among the ribbons we were shown what they expect to be the prevailing colors for this spring. Among these were two orthree new slmdos of brown and a new deep red, which they call Cardinal; and we were Informed that white silks, and ribbons were to be verv much worn. After a thorough examination of the goods on first floor, we were shown through the next, where Ihey have the hats in all the new aud novel sbaies uutrimmcil. They have white black, brown, and of many different materials, such as chip, leghorn anil the other materials we will not attempt to enumerate.

this floor they have trimmings of all kinds, they say everything necessary to make or trim a hat or bonnet. Our opinion is, that any one looking for anything in their line, could not fail to be pleased and suited from their stock. rr Porter, Bonalflson Co. i rm i Time. Bar.

Controller Snodgrasa yesterday presented to Cooneils his annual report for 1874, and it was ordered, to be printed in pamphlet form. With the aid of his efficient and competent assistants, Messrs. Livaey and Sherry, the Controller furnishes in very neat and intelligible form a detailed statement of the financial operations of the fiscal year ending January 31st, 1R73, together with a full exhibit of the condition of the city in this regard at that date.

Following is the Controller's report covering the detailed statements: Department of CiTvCoiffTBOi.i,ER, 1 ruTSBUBOH, March 1, 1875. To Select and Common Council of the Citv of Pittsburgh: GE5TLKMKS menus of the ordinance governing this office, I have the honor herewith to present to vonr honorable Hftrlio iuv auuuai report of the reoeints and city for the fiscal year ending January 3lst, OK7TEKAI. BTITMIST. The total reeoipts for the year, in- W1T: inmui-e in Treasury ebniary 1, 1874, amounted 87 The disbursements during the same period, including water extension, Penn avenue and South Side interests were 73 Balance in treasury February 1, 1K'5 52,712 PRESEST DKBT FEBRUARY 1. 1875.

Old city OK renn avenue loan 4,653,700 00 South Side separate in- tviiut'SW 41 20 BAT.AKCR ITS BLHSIXO PBKD. Municipal sinking fund. 1BJ.5T7 Special sinking fund 21.GS2 4i Lawreneeviile sinking Water extension loan sinking fund, 7S.744 55 Penn avenue sinking i Fire department sinking fund 10,000 00 Bonds held in Compromise Commissioners Minlfincrfitnif YK rwin Bonds iir Penn avenue sinking lunu 54,000. 00 MS.J02 34 Present actual liabilities SO EXPLANATORY. The foregoing statement shows the aggregate indebtedness of the city to be at this date the sum of 20.

This amount, however, includes bonds issued under an act of Assembly, for the improvement of Penn avenue and other avenues and streets of the city, amounting to But while this is a part of the indebtedness of the city it ought not strictly to be considered such forthe reason that the assessments to pay the indebtedness and interest are assessed ana collectable trom the streets or avenues improved, and not from the eeneral taxpayers. It also in cludes $4,413,400 bonds sold to cover the construction of the new Water Works. While this investment ddes not yield a present revenuo, yet if we are to judge from the results ot the old works, tho uew works will not be in operation long before they will yield a revenue sufficient to pay both the interest and the sinking fund for the payment of the principal, and thereby relieve real estate and other subjects of taxation within the city limits for that purpose. THE KITTY ROUP DECISION. The decision of the Supreme Court in lit case of Kitty Roup deprives the city of es timated receipts, amounting to 11,901 29, and necessitates refunding several thousand dollars of taxes erroneously collected during last year.

This, with other sums estimated as revenue, bnt not received, having already been appropriated to the several sinking funds, leaves those funds, with the exception oi the Municipal Sinking Fund, without actual available money at the beginning of the present fiscal year. The appropriation ordinance for the current year will be fully met, sinking funds and all, from the receipts of the tax levy. The sinking funds now without moneycan be replenished in 1876, withoat any increase of taxation, the appropriations for that year being subject to a reduction of 43,874 63 (the sum appropriated to refund water extension fund moneys improperly transferred), which, with reduction that may be made in current expenses, will fully meet the requirements of the several sinking funds. THE PENN AVEKTJB. ACT, C.

No other indebtedness has been incurred by the city during the year, except in two instances, viz Bonds issued to fund the indebtedness assumed by the city in the consolidation of the South Side districts and this increase was authorised by the provisions of an act of Assembly, and the issue of a temporary loan for the payment of Tenn avenue bonded interest. This increase was also authorized by an act of Assembly, and it was obligatory on the part of Couucils to comply with said act, on account of the impossibility to have the streets or avenues under improvements for which bonds had been issued, completed in time to make an assessments upon the property abutting forthe payment to meet the interest failing due on their bonded indebtedness. This loan is payable from the receipts of assessments made under the provisions of the act of Assembly authorizing street improvements of that class. The Compromise Commissioners Sinking Fund, created by act of Assembly, for the retiring of the compromise railroad bonds, as shown by the iurrease over last year, is conducted with such care by the Commissioners as to insure the object lor which it was created by the times the bonds mature, witnont further burtden on the part of the taxpayers, REMARKS. In closing this, my annual report of the attairs of this office, I desire to state while many things have not been as our citizens would wish to have them, still, in my judgment, criticism belongs more properly to the laws governing the city than to the individuals endeavoring to administer them.

I believe we are as free from corruption as anv city in the country; still, it behooves us to watoh closely all expenditures and the characters of those who hold places of tmst, and giving credit to whom credit is due, and calling to account, without fear, those who betray the trusts reposed in them by the people. I take this ODDortunitv to exnress my deep sense of obligation to each member of your nonoraoie uouy, to me city uui, without exception, and to the people generally of our city for the many courtesies extended me. For further information would respectfully refer vou to the accompanying detailed statement of the receipts and disbursements. Respectfully submitted, R. M.

Tlie verv disrespectftil language of Com modore Kountr, on Friday last, while on the witness stand, during the trial of the bove case and which was suffered to pass by the Court, owing to the hot blood of the parties was brought lo the notice ot Judge Rirkpatriuk yeateruay morning by Mr. Marshall, who said tuat commouore Kooritr desired to apologize The Court allowed him to explain, and the Commodore stepped up and said: May it please your Honor, deem it aue to the Court, and also lo myself, with your leave, to anolocize fur niv nnirantlemanlv conduct i say ungentiemanly conduct, for it was certainly such on Friday after noon last. No one" regrets it more sincerely than I do, and I can only say, that it was the result of a sudden and uncon trollable feeling arising from a provocation which, of course, was and is no excuse for my conduct. I therefore apologize very incerely, your Honor, and say It shall not occur again.

Judge Kirknatnck It being evident that the conductor the witness was owing to a sudden excess of passion and feeling, which it wasimiKissiiilo for him, uuderlbe circumstances, to control, and it being fur ther evident that bis expression ot regret for the occurrence is sincere, we are disposed to let the matter pass without fur ther notii-e, although we had at the time of its occurrence Intended omerwise. we trust we shall have no other exhibitions of this character in this or any other cause which mav come before us. After soiae further remarks, in the same strain, the court proceeded to business. Quarter Sessions Judge Ewing, DKOSION RKLATIVB TO THE ELECTION OP The Court rendered the following doci sion in the matter of the application of Matthew Keep, elected constable of the irsi ward, Pittsburgh, in reuruary, isn, for the approval of the appointment of R. H.

Metz. deputy. The Court made the fol lowing order, stating that a consultation had been had with the other judges, and that the order had their concurrence: March 8. 1875. It appearing to the Court that Peter Carr was.Jon the sixteenth dav of February, 1SS73, duly elected constable of the First ward of the city of Pitts burgh, and he being entitled and required by the act of Assembly to enter on bis of fice at the besinninz of the present term of court, to wit, at the first Monday of jviarcn and mat luanuew jvoop isuoi entitled to the office of constable in said ward for anv lontrer time than until said Carr shall be duly qnatified, the Court refuses to approve the appointment of depu ty, as prayed lor in tne wimin peuuon.

Bv the Court. The action of the court in this case does not in any way afieet the question of the legality of the election for Mayor in February. 1S74. Rv act of Assembly con stables are elected annually, and are required to qualify and enter on their office at the beginning of the ferot of the Court of Quarter Sessions next succeeding the date election. The terms of constables elected in December, 1873, commenced on the first Monday of March, 1874, and ended on the first Monday ot March, ibio, An election for constables in February.

1874, gave those elected no right to take office before March, 1875, or at the commencement of the present term of the Quarter Sessions Court, inasmuch as the Constitution expressly provides that the term of no officer elected or in office at the adoption of the Constitution shall be cut off or shortened. The constables elected in December, 1873, would serve until the present term of the Court, and as this term is pot the one next ensuing the election of fhn constables in February, 1874. and is the one next ensuing the election of those in February, 1875, tne latter ones are euuuea to tne onice, anu uui mo iuiuici.

Barker and S. Havs on one siae, ana Frederick Hyle on the other. The first two were charged with felonious assault and batterv. and Hvln was chargea wun felonious nMwonlt and interfering: with an officer. It seems that Barker and Hays went to the defendant's stable, in Alle gheny, early one morning, and attempted to take a horse on which thev had an at tachment, Hyle resisted and was struck by the officer on the head with a handy-billy.

It was alleged that Hyle attempted to out the other two men with a knife. -The lury is out. James Dougherty is on trial for felonious i atfcamt and battery Thousands on the Verge of Starvation. loiter from Bishop Vail lo the Hon. B.

K. Jones Condition of Affairs in Republic County An Inventory of the Resources of Cortland Township, Etc Those of our citizens who have been aiding the suffering people of Kansas, by contributions of money, food and clothing, should not relax their eflorts in that direction for a few weeks rVt. The destitution is even greater than was supposed, and one reason of this is, the unusual prolongation and severity of the winter. Very few have starved to death, but thousands are on the verge of starvation; many of the women and children are suffering from sickness, brought on by inadequate supplies of food and clothing, and inability to procure medicines. In many' sections, where it was hoped the people would be able to "tide over" until spring, without asking aid, the unwelcome truth has come to them that they must obtain help or starve.

The terribly severe weather, and the rapidly diminishing supplies for man and beast, admonish them that thay must seek relief or suffer the greatest privations. A BAMFtB OF THE DESTITUTION. The Hon. James H. Bradd and the Rev.

C. E. Jones are now in this city, soliciting donations in aid oi the people of Republic county. In that county, sub-committees were appointed for each township, and sworn statements, were made to the general committee, as to the actual condition of affairs in each township. We give below the result of the examination in Cortland township.

Republic county, which is about a fair index of the condition of the whole county: Xnmberpf inhabitants .158 Horses and It Cattle 829 Hoks i7 Bushels oi" liufbels of oats tt Bushels of barley 10." Bushels of com 70 Bushels of 10H Amount ot money ou $158 6,1 The above shows a traction of over seven bushels of wheat to each individual; but as there are acres of improved land in the township, it only leaves a little over three-fourths of a bushel per acre. If the frain is eaten, nothing will be leftfor seed, here are but seventy bushels of corn in the whole township, and this is the main supply for the horses, cattle and hogs." But some have neither gram nor stock, And four-fifths of the people are destitute of clothing. It is estimated that about one-half of the residents of this county are eating their last grist. Many of the sick need medicines, and are craving delicacies which cannot be furnished them at all. BISHOP VAIL TO HOS.

FELIX B. BRUNOT. In this connection, we append the following letter from the Episcopal Bishop of Kansas to our fellow-citizen, the Hon. F. R.

Brnnot. It contains a reliable statement of the condition of things throughout the State: March 1, 1875. To the Son. J-'. X.

Brnnot, Pittsburgh, Dear Mr. Brcnot Your letter this evening received. In reference to the subject of the "Kansas Sufferers" there can hardly be any statement too strong. There has been and there is great destitution is well as suffering in both Kansas and Nebraska. OI course, my knowledge is more exact in regard to this State, whera I reside, and with all parts of which I have been in active correspondence for some months past: There had been through the State greatly reducing the' supply of corn, upon which we largely rely as food for man, and wholly as food for onr horses and our stock a very serious drouth during the two last summers, followed by the grasshopper visitation, which swept off the remainder of the corn and crops.

The dry weather ot two summers in succession had left us no crop, as compared with former fertile and productive years. The farmers were relying upon the small half crop or quarter crop, with no balance on hand, either of crop or money, to get through this winter, and when the grasshoppers came nothing was left, either of corn or money: all was gone hopelessly. In the new counties' the people looked starvation in the lace literally. It was at their doors. At the same time, and from the same cause, the lack of money left them half clothed.

They were in no condition to meet the winter, even if it bad been a mild one. But the winter has been the most severe ever known. During the whole of the two months of January and February, there have been very few days when there has been any thawing of the ground, and, I think, not a night in which it has not frozen," while for a large part or the time tne thermometer has ranged not much above zero, and verv otten mucn neiow. tven on tnis first dav of March, the wind is from the northwest, the earth, is covered with a heavv coatina of ice and lrozen sleet, and men cannot work out of doors except In verv active exercise. Thus it has happened that hundreds of men, and families, who on the 1st of January, hoped to get tbrougn the winter without help, have exhausted all their resources, and are obliged to ask for or to receive relief.

At this moment there is wide-spread des titution, and thousands must be tea until the snrimr and earlv summer shall furnish work andprodnce also vegetables for subsistence. The East has done nobly, most nobly. If it had not been for the boxes of clothing senf, hundreds must have oeen frozen to death. As it is, thousands have suffered from the dreadful cold. If it had not been for the supplies of food sent from the generous East and the Pacific coast, hundreds must hare starved to death.

As it is, only a few have actually frozen or starved to death; yet a few have met this fate. It is a terrible calamity that has befallen us. It is foil or wickedness to deny it; yet is onlv a temporary affliction, and a single year of plenty will set all right. It was the extraordinary combination of the visit of the devouring locusts just upon the heels of agricultural communities are subject to, which made the accumulation of destitution and suffering. We have learned through the trial, lessons which will be of the greatest value to the future of this young State.

I have not lost one particle of faith as to the capabilities of the State. But we shall learn to husband our resources, and be prepared for the possible disasters that may come to any agricultural country. 1 trust that our friendsmay still patientlyaid us, and that we mav be able, by our right improvement of their favors, to show ourselves worthy of their generous kindness. Belie ve me, aear air. xruuui, uuuiiuujr your friend and servant in Christ.

Thomas H. Vail, Bishop of Kansas. PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS. Pittsburgh Opera Home. Miss Maireie Mitchell opened her engage ment at the Opera House last night, by the representation of Jane Eyre in the play of that name arranged for her by C.

W. Tay-leure. The performance was a successful one, if we may judge by the applause which it grained, particularly from the seo on! and third tiers. The play itself is not one which "commends itself to people of literary tas.te, as tney cannot neip cum-mnntinz noon the remarkable success of the dramatist in emasculating the plot of Charlotte iironie uiu ikuiviu and in 'reducing it to a hybrid between sensational melodrama and emotional society plav of the cheap variety. Probably this effect is heightened by comparison with the original work, and the faults of the play would not be apparent to one who had never read the novel.

Miss Mitchell's aeting, as it always does, created a very iavorable impression. It was generally unassuming and natural, with that absence of straining after effect winch has made this actress so widely and universallv popular. If she could discard the rather "parrot-like trick of enunciation which sometimes creeps into her renditions, there twou Id be few actresses who could'excel or equal her in her peculiar line. Mr. Wm.

Mr. Holliday asked whether the needs oi the South Side were taken into consideration. Mr.

Brown answered that the wards on the South Side needing water, were considered. After some further discussion the resolution was adopted. ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Mr.

Mr. Braun opposed toe ordinance, and said the fact that the warrants for the pay of the police were now and wonld be for months subject to a sbave by brokers, was another reason why no reduction should be made. Mr.

Anderson said that one of two thing were inevitable, either to cut down the rate of tv or reduce the number ot men. He thought it better to give a little less per day than to cut the force. Mr. Shipton called attention to the fact that some years aro the polioe got but two dollars per day, and it was only in a fit of liberality that fifty cents per day was added. Mr.

Ilwnnals opposed the reduction, and thought that the redaction was unjust and unnecessary. Mr. Duriinsrton thought that the price offered was lair, aud those policemen that can do better may resiirn. He thought it a necesRsry measure ot economy. Mr.

Barclay thought the men should not be compelled to stand a shave and then be cut down in rate of pay. Mr. Littell objected to the remarks 01 Barclay, and mid the city warrant were better than much paiajr ottered tor discount. He said there are plenty of al most starving men who would be glad to take these positions. The question was called, and Mr.

Braun moved as an amendment that the first sec tion be stricken out, and that the poiioe- iiicn be discharged. Mr. Xtraun stood alone on the ballot. Mr. Braun then moved that the salary of the Chief-of-Poliee be made ll.av instead of 81,500.

John Hain-nett and Alfred E. Meason, for a dissolution of partnership. The complainant is a resident of Falls City, Fayette county, and alleges that in August, 1870, he entered into a partnership with the defendants, under the name of Meason, Wade A for the purpose of engaging in the tannery business. The partnership expired by limitation on the 31dt of December, 1874, bat in Order the more conveniently and effectually to wind up the business of the firm, the partners agreed that the books and the papers be turned over to an accountant to adjust them without delay. An accountant was selected, bnt it is alleged that he has been unable to obtain the necessary information from the defendants, and that they have now certain hides in process of tanning on which the firm have a lien, to the extent of the price paid for tanning.

The complainant, therefore, asks that the partnership be dissolved, that a receiver be appointed, that the defendants be ordered to pay ovea to complainant what is due him, and that they be enjoined from disposing of any of the property of the firm. The Temperance Alliance. The Temperance Alliance held a meeting yesterday morning, Dr. Swift in the' chair. Much of the time was occupied in an acrimonious discussion of a rumor to the effect that there were fifty thousand pro liquor ministers in the country.

Rev. Oscar Hugo was severely censured as having given currency to the rumor. This discussion was cut short by Mr. Rabe, who called for information in regard to the repeal of the Local Option law. Mr.

Black thought that the bill would be repealed in the Senate, and that Jones. Chairman of the Committee on Vice and Immorality, meant that it should be repealed. Mr. Rabe stated that he had kept a close watch on the Legislative Record, and knew just what was being done. The speaker forcibly alluded to the course of Messrs.

Irwin and Shidle, who voted for repeal, and who strove to give a contrary impres-, son to their constituents upon uieir return to the Rev. Dickey thought that Mr. Rabe was dealing rather harahlv with Messrs. Irwin and buidle. They may have voted con- scienuousiy, alter ail.

Sullivan, bad gone to Sprine Hill coal works, near Wall's station, to obtain a nre- whe had been in ill health for somn ti Dr. T. resides at Carpenter's, on thl Greeusburg turnpike, and had gone to the rm! works to attend another patient.

Th mrtv from Braddock's Fields were return ing in a iareer wasron.and found some diffi culty in keeping the road, from the fact that the heavy snow storm prevented the driver trom seeing ahead of him. As they were nearingthe crossing at Mill's station, the express, west, on the ConnellavOle road, passed, and frightened the horses. The wagon went over a small embankment, tossing the occupants out and crashing to death the sick man. Con. Sullivan.

Munhall 's ribs on one side are reported to have been ail crushed in, and one rib on the other side imbedded in his dung, and a consultation was held by several physi-. cians1 of Port Perry yesterday morning, "at which was decided that Munhall could utA recover.

Riggs, a member, of using his influence as a member of the Board to secure his re-election. Among the witnesses who testified was David B. Oliver, who deposed that there were but 317 voters in the Ninth ward, and that 191 of these had been furnished with relief orders byDr. Riggs; that two of these persons were puddlers, one of whom last year had earned $1,067 71, as shown by the books at Lewis, Olliver fc Phillips' mill, and the other further, that persons who had been at work the entire winter had, on the Doctor's orders, been furnished with relief by the Board. Mr.

Olliver said he was the ffamerof the act presented to the Legislature for the abolition of the Board, as he said he thought such facilities for making friends politically, should not be afforded to any man or set of men. He thought that tax payers would consider the Doctor entirely too" liberal In the matter. Dr. Riggs testified in his own behalf. He said ho had furnished Poor Board tickets to men who had been sent to the Home to work, that they might come home to vote for him, but he claimed that he did not think there was anything wrong in so doing.

The special committee of the Board will meet to-morrow evening to take further action in the matter. Hotel for Bale.
