9, 1877. About 1 P. November 8, 1877, amid a drenching rain. the first locomotive and train of cars on the Pitteburgh, Wheeling Kentucky Railroad entered Wellsburg. The event was signalized by piercing shrieks from the locomotive, which was taken up by the different manufacturing establishments in town, causing crowds of men, women and children to rush to Yankee street, and look with undisguised admiration upon what has been Weilebarg'e hobby for the last twenty-five years, a railroad with the iron horse puthog through her streets.

Ever since the railroad Was began our people have shown the liveliest interest in Its success, and it is DO wonder they feel Jubilant at having their hopes realized. At night botels and residences were brilliantly illuminated, bonfres were burning. bells were ringing, and young America wasout in full force firing crackers and rockets, and yelling and cheering with 10- finite gusto. For upwards of two hours the wildest excitement existed. No sucha time was had since the ushering in of the Centennial year, which was done pretty much in the same manner.

Our citizens gave a free dinner to all the workmen employed on the railroad on the day they entered town with the ties. The railroad boys seemed to enjoy the affair very much. The contract for batiding the depot here was given to a Mr. Hindman, of this county. There is talk of a narrow gauge railroad from Wasbington, the little, via Bethany Wellsburg.

A BRUTAL ATTACK, Man Beaten Nearly Deats-The Assailants in Jail. Michael and Joseph Peeney on Saturday night attacked a man named Gwian, near the Point, and seat him nearly to death. The victim was taken to the West Pennsylrania Hospital, and Dr. Dicksoa who attended him said he thought his condition to be very critical last night. Officers Coulson, Scott, Long and Moeesper started after the assailante soon after the asssult and traced them to a boat moored at the Allegheny wharf.

The only way to reach the boat was by a long plank which swayed greatly when any one walked upon it. Detective Moeaaner tried to go over first, but when he got near the middle concluded "discretion was the batter part of valor," and getting on his hands and knees grasped the plank with the tenacity of death and made a retrograde movement for the shore, which he succeeded in reachleg with safety. Coulson and Scott, the two largest detectives on the force, with the exception of ex-Chief White, were more bold, and went over the plank. They found the culprite in the engine room of the boat and brought them to the lockup, where they now are, awsiting the result of Gwinn's injuries. THIEVING.

One Randred Dollars, a Brooch and Bracelets Stolen From East End Dwelling. One of the most daring robberies that has occurred for some time transpired on Friday evening last, about eight o'clock, the Iceer being Mrs. Jacob Maisel, who keeps saloon at the corner of Penn and Euclid streets, East End. It appears that the thief, in order to gain admittance to the house, cut a panel out of a side door, with a peaknife, while the family were at sapper, and succeeded in noiselessly making his way up stairs and entering 8 sleeping apartment, where be proceeded to ransack bureau, which stood in one corner of the room. A pocket book, containing about $100 in cash, W89 rifled of its contents, and a brooch valued at $25, together with a pair of bracelets worth $20, were taken by the burgiar, who scattered a lot of ear-rings, breastpina, finger rings and other pieces of jewelry about the floor in a most reckless manner.

A gold watch, worth about $60, that was secreted in another drawer of the bureau, was not molested by the thief, who succeeded in descending the stairs and making his escape by another door opening into the back yard. The extent of the robbery was not discovered until some hours after its occurrence, when the lady, upon retiring, noticed the confusion in the room, the cause of which soon became apparent. The matter was placed in the bands of detectives on Saturday morning, and they are working up a clue obrained from Mrs. Maisel. MOTHER Her Numerous Family of Bright Wing ed end Pretty Goslings will appese Be fore the Padlte Next Taursday and Friday Evenings, Every one who remembers his childhood must be an admirer of Motber Goose and will therefore be interested in the illustrations of that poetess' works, which are to be put on the stage at the Fifth avenue Lyceum next Thursday and Friday evenings.

Messra. G. C. Caruthers and J. W.

Gould, of the prospecting committee sent to Arkansas, made their report to a meeting of the Allegheny Advance Society, held at Armory Hall. in Allegheny, Saturday evening. About two bundred were in attendance. The accountof the journeyIngs and observations of the committee, given by Mr. Caruthers, wAS not encouraging, at least to the greater portion of the members.

The descriptions of the country heretofore given, be said, were overdrawn, and the whole truth had not been told. The chief drawback was the unhealthiness of the sections visited. While the commuttee did not see many actual cases of fever, the sallow, sickly appearance of some of the people indicated plainly Its existence. They were friendly, gave kindly greeting, but did not seem to have muscle enough for a good hearty grip. Speaking of the prodaetions, facilities for stock raising, Mr.

C. said no man can raise much more than his neighbor, for if he did, the rest would steal from him, and they did not appear to regard petty larceny 38 8 crime. There was difficulty, too, about land titles. During the reign of the marked "carpet-baggers" on taxes were collected, bat books "not paid," and land on which taxes are not paid is entered in the land department as State land. A man coming along and wishing to take up State lands would have a tract marked off for him.

He would take possession of it, and everything would go right till be would get his cabin bailt and make some improvements, when the owner of the land, who maybe liveson the other end of the place and know what was going on all the time, comes along and shows you his receipta for taxes in fall, and claims his property. Then, of coarse, the equatter bas to get up and dust out. A vote of thanks having been tendered the committee, Mr. Caratbers expressed his gratification, and referring to the glowing Accounts which had been given of the land, in Arkansas, said he did not wish it to be said any one bad willally dec sived the Society. The report did not satisfy some of the members, and after adjouroment a number, under the leadership of Robert Wray, remained at his request, and arranged for holding a meeting this evening to conaider what steps they should take in fartherance of their determination to go to Arkansas, despite the discouraging report made by the committee.

The old Society will meet again on Saturday evening next. WEST VIRGINIA COLONIZATION SOCIETY. The Co-operative Mining, Manufactaring and Colonization Society, organized in this city a short time since for the parpose of settling in West Virginia and engaging in the mining of coal and iron ore and the manufacture of iron, are about to commence operations on the co-operative 8gstem. At a meeting held recently Mr. J.

J. Vinton was elected president of the society, W. W. Alexander vice president, Isaac Cline treasurer, J. D.

Smallen secretary, Wm. F. Willock corresponding secretary, and arrangements made for vernring 8 chartez from the State of Virginia. Ten miners, one engineer, one brakeman and one blacksmith have gone, and others will follow as 8000 as matters can be arranged. It was decided that those who fret paid into the society be first allowed to settle on the lands and next those who were out of employment.

In addition to the new parsonage the congregation have had trees planted around their entire property, making quite an improvement on the appearance of the church as well as adding greatly to the appearance of Market street. Last Tuesday was exceedingly quiet for election day, there being no excitement whatever. Our Democratic friends, bowever, are happy beyond messure at the result. But McKeesport, as usual, shows up a Republican TwIG. majority.

Dwelling Honse Destroyed, About six o'clock yesterday morning the bandaome residence of Mr. John S. Miller, near Evergreen Hamlet, in Shaler township, was entirely destroyed by fire. The flames spread so rapidly that the inmates barely bad time to escape without saving any of their household goods or furniture. The building was a large two story frame.

The loss is estimated at about $8,000. We reach for riches and we grasp a millstove, unless in health to enjoy them. A cough or cold quickly works our physical rut unless we are careful. Use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

K. W. Sloane and Geo. P. Hays, D.

Year's The accommodations of the First Presbyterian church, on Wood streat, were entire- study has been enjoyed by many under the efficient leaderstip of our General Secretary, every Tuesday noon, and nox this has resulted in the formation of A Young Men's Bible Ciaas meeting every Friday evening at our rooms. Besides this is the Sabbath afternoon meeting already referred to. In addition to all this home work, constant applications are received for assistance, principally on Sabbath evening, and large numbers of delegations of our bers have gone out in response to such 10- In conclusion the report states that the annual expenditures of Christian Associations in this country and Canada exceed half a million dollars. ENGAGED IN A GOOD WORK. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the report Rev.

J. R. W. Sloane was Introtroduced and spoke for half an hoar or more upon the necessity of encouraging and sympathizing with an organization that is doing as much good for the south of the land as the Young Men's Christian elation. He said that the religion of the Lord Jesue Christ is an aggressive power, and ita determined purpose la to overthrow the kingdom of Satan and establish the kingdom of Christ.

The conflict between it and the evils that burden fallen hamanits is a continuous one. Tite Young Men's Christian Association is a part of the great organized aring of Jesus Christ, and goes forth in reliance on the power of His spirit to conquer those evils which specially surround young men. The elements of the association that demend the attention, assistance and encouragement of the Christian are, first, its religious work; the same great work for which the plan of redemption was devised. Second, it is united for the saving of young men, and proposes to carry the work on. Third, It relies upon the Bible and prayer in the prosecution of 118 work.

This association demands enconrag-ment because of the class among which it operates. It labors among men. The souls of young men are of no more vaine than the souls of others, but still it 18 impossible to exaggerate the influence and importance of young men, henca the great necessity of laboring among them. They will be the mature men of the nation. and as they are moulded so will they be when they come to fill the important publie and private positions in life.

Every effort must be put forth to saFa the young meD, or our nation will 20. down into that night of ages from which no nation bas as yet ever emerged. Young men are exposed to peculiar templations, such as theaters, gamb. ling dens, drinking saloons and the bouse of her whose ways take hold on death. These are the bogs in which whole armies of young men are being engulfed day by day and hour by hour.

Then, to save them, can any power be put forth too great, or any expenditure too large? THE VALUE OF INTEGRITY. The address of Dr. Geo. P. Hags came next.

The first part of it was devoted to a consideration of the commercial value of integrity. Integrity is of two kinds, be said: that which springs from polley, and that which belongs to an individaal and is part of bimself. Have you ever Weighed its commercial value? The railroad conductor is bound by strict rules, an agent 18 put over him to watch him, and be is sarrounded with 8 complicated system of checks, yet if he wants to be diebonest all these guards and restrictions cannot preVent him from being 80. In banks hundreds of ways are devised to make men mechanically honeat, yet they steal whenever they want to. Then there is a system of bonds for bank Presidents, who are watched at Long range by a Board of Directors.

Bat it not infrequently turns out that the bond in inadequate, and that the President thinks it pays him to deposit the amount of It and steal the capital stock. If either a railroad condaetor or a clerk is an honest man there is no need to put a rule on him. He will be bonest for the sake of honesty. A man honest from principle is better and more to be dependend upon than the dishonest man bound by a hundred rules, held In 3 million dollars bond and watched by a dozen policemen all the time. The colored boy, put upon the auction block and asked by an intending purchaser, who took fancy to him, whether he would be honest if given a good bome and treated kindly, strock the key-note when he replied, I'll be honest whether you bay me or not." THE POWER TO REACH THEM.

The application of these remarks was that the Young Men's Christian Association iss power that can reach young men as no other power can. The speaker said that in his mind the Y. M. C. A.

is the church. It is the same as the Sunday School, although in some of the benighted country districts they are still discassing "The relation of the Sunday School to the church." It is the church. So is the Young Men's Christian Association. The relation of the water to the sea, or of a son to his parents would be as proper a subject for debate 88 the relation of the Sunday School or Y. M.

C. A. to the church. The church gets hotd of families, especially where religion 1s bought by the square yard and measured by the location of the pew. But in cities they don't come so largely by families, and here it is the province of the Young Men's Christian Association to look after the boys -the country boys who come to the cities to get rich, they think, when in fact they come to damned.

The speaker said that on Saturday night he walked the streets of Pittsburgh, preparing for this speech. He pulled open the doors of places brilliant with bight and gay with revelry, looked in for a moment, and saw sights that chilled his blood. They were not the sons of degraded and vicious that he saw. He knew by their parents their clothes, that they were the faces, by sons of such people as he was speaking to, and it is they whom the Young Men's Christian Association is after. A WORD FOR THE EICI.

In concluding his remarks Dr. Hays made a strong plea in behalf of rich boys. It has been said that it is hard to be born be poor, born to a rich home; for him tO know but it is an awful thing for a boy to that his parents are able to keep him, and that there 18 no need for him to work. These are the boys whom the Young Men's Christian Association can reach, and the speaker prayed that God would open the hearts of the people to the appeal of this association, and set them on fire with 8 beat in its behalf that would melt stones. The meeting adjourned after prayer by Rev.

Dr. Kellogg. The officers of the Association elected for the ensuing year are BA follows: H. K. Porter, President; T.

J. Gillespie, First Vice President; Thos. Bakewell, Second Vice President; S. L. Fullwood, Corresponding Secretary; J.

F. Robinson, Recording retary; J. P. Henderson, Treasurer. ly inadequate to the seating last night of the extraordinarily large audience that assembled on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city, All the chatra at hand were placed in the sisles, after which persons had to stand.

The exercises, which were conducted by Mr. H. K. Porter, Pres. ident of the Association, were opened with an organ voluntary by Mr, C.

C. Mellor. Then the audience sang that old familiar bemB, for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise. That portion of the opening chapter of First Peter following the eighth Verse was read by Rev. T.

C. Billheimer, Prayer suoceeded by Rev. J. W. Miles.

After the singing of the eighty-ninth Psalm, Presldent Porter read his report. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. The report states, after a general review of the work of the past year, that the reading room still remalus the central spot of the association life. The library contains 8 thousand or more volumas, and the various magazines of the day. The secolar and re.

ligious papers of the day are to be found in great number and variety in the reading room. "The noonday prayer meeting has been sustained with deep interest through out the year. The attendance of the year 1876, vIz, 53, has fallen off to that of the year 1875, 47; but this is by no means a number to discourage, when we remeruber that this is the average number of 306 meetings beid. It would be extremely gratifying, bowever, if this number could ba largely increased, as we are confident that it could be if many Obristians, who never come, would determine to do so at stated periods, even though only weekly or less eften. The young convert's meeting on Tuesday evening has been held 50 times, with an average attendance of 21; and the Young Men's meeting on Saturday evening 50 times, with an average attendance of 85.

Both of these meetings illustrate the distinctive work of the association, and both have been earnestly supported and sustained during the past year. The service of Saturday evening has largely been a service of song during the past year, and this method, always using the Bible largely in the service, and selecting the bemas so as to illustrate the Word, has proved a most attractive way of presenting the gospal pointedly to sinners. COTTAGE AND OPEN AIR MEETINGS. meetings to the namber of 146 have been held, with an aggregate attendance of out with the invitation and striving to compel men to come in. Open air meetings to the number of 69 were held during the summer months with an aggregate attendance of 12,250, carefully estimated from a partial count at every meeting.

These meetings have been the subject of much prayer, and nave been very earnestly sustained by a large force of workers, no less than 30 being present at the one meeting on Saturdsy evening, and about 60 b9- ing engaged in the various meetings held on the Sabbath. To aid in training this large band of workers a course of twelve lectures was given during the winter on Sabbath afternoon by one of our leading lawyers and by various ministers of the city. A similar course upon Sabbath afternoon has been arranged for the coming winter upon Bible topics, The Evening Reception Committee has met with most remarkable success. Hardly an evening through the whole year have the persons charged with this duty fatled to be present to welcome strangers, extend the hospitalities of the Association and to conduer the family worship with which the day 18 closed and to which all present are invited. DEEPER INTEREST IN BIBLE STUDY.

"The progress thus indicated is accompanied by and based upon a much deeper interest in Bible study than ever before. The marked feature of interest in the poonday meeting is the opening up of the Bible truth, and daily search 18 made into the treasures of the Word.

A bout half-past five o'clock on Saturday morning a fire broke out in "Trimble's Varieties Theatre." It was first discovered by officer P. Stacks, who sounded thealarm, and with the assistance of officer Motte tried to check it, but failed. Three engines were 800B on the ground, but the dre was burning so furiously that two others were called out.

For a time it was feared the building would be destroyed, bat the firemen saved it by superhuman exertions. The fire originated under the stage from some means yet unknown. stage, scenery, dressing rooms, piano, and the wardrobes of most of the actors were completely destroyed. Mr. Williams, the lessee and manager, succeaded in saving a trunk containing his wife's wardrobe, bar all else WAS burned, 'including the costly scenery of the Black Crook combination.

The loss sustained by Mr. Williams will reach $2 500, on which there is no insurance. The scenery of the Black Crook was valued at $5,000, and was not insured. The losses of the actors will foot up fully $2,000, and the damage 10 the building $2,000, making the total loss $11,500, on which there is no insurance whatever. Manager Williams, not to stop his show, immediately leased the Academy of Manic, and the troupe sppeared there on Saturday night, and will continue to do 80 until Trimble's is repaited.

BURGLaRS AT WORK Six Attempts on Satar- day Right. Either there has been 80 infux of burglars in the city recently, or, else those already here have become desperate. No less than six attempts were made on Saturday night to burglarize stores, all of them, fortunately, being unsuccessful. The wholesale drug store of Henderson No. 50 Seventh avenue, was first operated upon, the attempt being made between seven and eight o'clock in the evening.

The burglars filled the lock with giant powder, nitro glycerine, or some other powerful explosive. The explosion completely battered the lock, and broke the doors, bat an inside cross-bar prevented them from being opened. The front door of the shoe store of Shane McNalty, No. 123 Fifth avenue, WAS jimmied, but unsuccessfully. Tha shoe store of Jobn Jabn, No.

162 Sinithtield street, WaS algo operated upon in the same and as unsuccessfally. The door of Thomas Callagban's merchant tailoring establishment, No. 209 Fifth avenue, was operated upon, but access prevented Dy the croes bar. The door of the milk depot, corner of Webster avenue and Tannel street, was jimmied and forced open, but nothing stolen. At the corner of Seventh street and Penn avenue the lock of 8 drug store was filled with powder, but the thieves were frightened away before they set it off.

The doors of Smith's pawn shop, No. 184 Smithfield street, were found open, but nothing taken. If the thieves get no more for their trouble in this city in the future than they did on Saturday night they will likely seek some place where operations are more profitable. TEMPERANCE NOTES.
