At the time of the mishap he was in the act of coupling cars near the Point bridge, when his hand was caught and two of his fingers so crushed as to necessitate amputation. He also received other injuries. Negligence is charged npon the part of the defendant company in not providing and keeping in repair a proper appliance, called a "stirrup," so that brakemen, in coupling cars, would not be exposed to danger and peril. The plaintiff alleges tbat when he took hold of this stirrup, on the occasion referred to, it projected toward the place where he was stand ing to an improper extent, and in such manner as to expose mm to unusual dan ger. When the approacning car rencneo the proper place for the plaintiff to make the coupling, tne projecting stirrup strucK him in the back aud side, forcing his right hand, with which he was directing the oupline between the appliances of the cars.

the One Brniier Severely Arrest. Tbere occurred on Saturday night last, within tbe limits of Allegheny, a prize fight according to the rules of the London prize ring, during which forty-two ronnds were fought, which was even more brutal than the Maloney-Lafierty affair, of which fail details have been published. Apparently there was no arrangement beforehand, and the participants entered into the battle without the usual attention to traiuing. They were fighters of the first water, too, aud fought like only those possessed of pugilistic skill can. Tbe fight originated in a peculiar manner.

It appears that flames McCarthy was standing in front of tbe Keystone hotel, in tbe Tenth ward (Wood's run), when Jerrv Hawks, put in an appearance, and made some remark to McCarthy, which aroused the latter to a fighting pitch. Each then began boaatiug of wbat he could do to the other, and both were encouraged by companions who were anxious to see the two have it out. Tbey are both known among tbe sitorts in that prt of the town as "good men." They have been measuring each other for some time, and their coming to gether in a hand-to band encounter was onlv a nuestion of time. a great deal ol iaie taiK tne men came down to business, formed a ring in front of tbe hotel, appointed a referee, imiees and seconds, aud commenced tbe fight with bare fists. Tbe rounds were fought in regularorder.

Hawks proved to be the toughest man of the two. He succeeded in striking some tell ing blows frequently knocking McCarthy down. The latter aiso, got in some gooa licks but proved a little too weak for hit adversary, who socceeaea in marsing mm ouite badly. McCarthy was tbe worst punished of the two and threw np the sponge at the close of the forty second round. After the bgbt he was couveyea to Ins home in tbe vicinitv, where he is now confined in bed.

Hawks was able to keep on his feet, but looks bail about tbe face. Whether anything was put up on the fight deponent saith not. it is said, however, that the men merely iougnt ior giory. Thev are both iron workers. Getting wind of the affair, but not until after the fight had occurred, Chief Wilson instituted suit before Mayor Megraw against McCarthy and Hawks.

The latter was arrested yesterday, and is now confine! in the lock-up awaiting a hearing McCarthy's injuries are not serious, though verv painful. Suits will also be entered against others wbo took part in the an air. TROUBLES OF THE A1T0US. Moiitresellion Fined for Cruelty to Children. a.

Variety Wanatcer Assailed and Has an Optle IMttcoloretl. The actors of the Tivoli Garden are hav ing lots of trouble. Mention was made yesterday of the arrest of Wm. Kaye on a charge of larceny by bailee, and of his sub- seauent release upon turning over the watch tbat he had pawned, to the prosecu tor, Charles E. Montresellion.

Yesterday Montresellion himself was the defendant in a suit, and he did not get off so easily as Kaye. It seems that Montresellion has been exhibiting a little girl of seven or eight years at the Tivoli Garden for several nights past. The little girl was compelled to perform on the trapeze blindfolded, running great risk of losing her life. One of her acts was to stand upon a step-ladder, when her cruel exhibitor would throw her a suspended rope, and, catching the rope, she would swing herself aerobe the stage, let go the rope aud catch herself with her bended legs on a trapfze, with her head hanging downward. Another of her acts was to stand with a wineglass in either baud and another in her mouth, and spread her tender limbs apart till they would both be resting on tbe stage, pointing outward from each other.

Agent Dean saw these acts and yesterday preferred a charge against Montreal lion before tbe Mayor. The bearing took place yesterday afternoon and tbe a-cused was fiuetl and costs, tbe lightest puuisbment under the new law passed last winter. The new law prevents tbe employment of children under fifteen years ou any stage in the State. Mon'reseiiion piid his hue. He will not exhibit the child here again.

He claims that the child, called Lottie, is his daughter but that is doubted. The end supported Montreteiiioa and also a woman, by her wonderful feats. ALLEGED FELOXIOTTS ASSAULT. About five o'clock in the evening Erwin Thomas another variety actor who had formerly been stage manager at the Tivoli eutered tbe garden and was standing by the bar when he was approached by H. W.

Eagan one of the performers who was on the stage last week. Thomas alleges that Eagan who had an open knife in his hand made an assault upon him without the least provocation, declares that he attempted to cut his throat, and that he hit him in the eye. In proof of the latter assertion Thomas exhibited a discolored optic from which the blood was still freely flowing at 9 o'clock last evening. The ex-Manager preferred a charged of felonious assanit and battery before Alderman Cassidy against Eagan. Thomas iys that the actors about tbe place blamed him with instigating the arrest of Monrresedion, and aiso asserted his belief tbat they put Eagan np to tbe act of ass-tiling him.

Constable Carr was diligently looking for Eagan last night. Try Ids to Kedace the Fxpennen of the All tieuy 11 ty UuvfrmiirBt. A meeting of the special committee appointed by Allegheny Councils to devise means of reforming and reducing the expenses of the city, was held last evening, Hugh S. Fleming presiding. The chairman presented several ordinances which will be referred to Councils with an affirmative recommendation.

Tbe ordinances provide among other things that the Street Committee shall provide for the repairing and cleaning of streets by contract; abolish the office of Messenger of Councils, and regulate the manner of delivering notices of meetings; consolidate the offices of Water Assessor and City Assessor, the salary to be fixed at Si, 400 per annum; consolidate the oil ices of City Engineer and Superintendent of Water Works and impose the duties of both on the City Engineer without an increase of salary. Tbe ordinance also provides that tne Water Committee shall elect a suitable Mechanical Engineer, who shall have control of tbe machinery at the water works, with power to employ the men utcessary to run the machinery. Tbe compensation of said engineer is fixed at $100 per month. It also provides that all water pipe to be laid shall be put down by contract under tbe supervision of the Ci'y Engineer. 'Castle Shannon Camp Meetloa." 7 (Special Correspondence The PltUDurKU Castle Shasnox, August 13.

Tbe good work goes regularly on, increasing io spiritual interest every day. The religious exercises bean at this morning, by Rev. K. H. Sutton delivering a most cheering sermon from 11th verse of tbe 84th psalm, on God as a son and shield, and His goodness in withholding no good thing from His children.

At 1:30 P. Prof Johnson of Philadelphia, in connection with the choir gave a service of song, when the Professor rendered some genis of song in the most exquisite manner, such as: "Is your light burning my brother?" and 'If lean only touch the hem of His garment!" 'Lead thou me on," and others. At o'clock tbe 1 at lies held their usual cottage prayer meeting with blessed results. At 3 o'clock Profet-sor Johnson gave a Bible reading on the subject of 'Xhy will be done," which was most clearly conceived, and pertinently, ciearly and earnestly expressed and impressed. At 7 o'clock two prayer meetings were held for the purpose ot supplicating a throne of grace, for the purpose of s-curiug tha outpouring of the convicting and converting spirit of God.

At 7: io, Kev. W. T. Wilson delivered a term on from Genesis 9, on "Walking with God," on which he noticed, first, the nature of tbe Christian's walk or life; second, the excellency of the exercise of walking with God, and urged the enemies of God to become reconciled, through Christ, so tbat they might walk and have fellowship with their Maker. A prayer meeting followed, when a large number of the membership came to the aitar of prayer and renewed their covenant with God.

On Saturday aud Sabbath next the choir will be assisted by tbe celebrated vocalist, Mrs. Awaie, Profr.ssoof Music in Adrian College, who is admitted by all competent judges to have no superior in the West The meetings will be continued until next Sabbath evening, when they will close. plrr, Uannala A Co lgr contains nothing deleterious, being brewed of malt and hops, and it is entirely fiee of any rank flavor or disagreeable cdor. visit to friends in Connecticut.

Croeliy 1'swei A Husband wbo Had to Eat Raw 9f eat. Many of the leading members of the Humane Society are absent from the city, which accounts for the fact that there waa no meeting yesterday. Several cases of cruelty was reported by Ageut Dean however. Mention was made or a father living on Bradford street, South Side, who neglected his children. Agent Dean re monstrated, and the man has employed a housekeeper to take care of the children.

Several cases of cruelty to street car horses were also reported, and the Agent had them remediei. One pwuliar case is also worthy of notice. yesterday a man caned at the office for the services of Agent Dean. He explained to the office boy tbat his wife refused to cook meat, for him and yesterday morning after eating raw smoked meat he took the cholera morbus. The wronged husband wanted Dean to interfere.

The latter says tbat bail he been present he wouid have belmd the husband out of the office in a jiffy and in no easy manner either. OpenlBK I Their Lands. For some weeks past a corps of engineers, under tbe direction of Sigismund Lowe, have been surveying four different lines of lateral railroad through the large tracts of lands near Pinkerton, in order to connect with the main line of the Baltimore Ohio road, and enable the company. which owns the lands, to facilitate tbe shipment of lumber, iron ore and coal The four lines have been located, but in onier to reach the mam line of the H. road a bridge over the Castleman river was rendered necfssary.

Blakely Certain Greenbackers are a little sore over the declination of Gen. Blakely to ac cept their nomination for Judge. The ob- jec ions expressed are that Gen.

akely accepted tbe nomination unconditionally. that he did not see fit to decline nnfi long a'ter tbe Convention, that he showed little consideration for the County Committee, in that he published his letter ot decltnatioD in tbe papers before trans mining it to headquarters, and that he did not wit hdraw his name until after the movement for a fusion with tbe Democrats had failed. Although tbe County Commit tee has tbe authority to fill the vacancy it is said tbere is a strong feetiug tu favor of allowing the piace to remain vacant. Fat ter son laaittnto.

But few residents of the city who enjoy the fresh pure honey set before them on their tables have any idea of the importance of bee culture, nor of the profit derived from it, nor of the interest manifested in it by keepers.

The importance of bee cnlture, or rather of the honey interests of the Cnited States, was well set forth by Peter S. Rnst, president of the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Bee Keepers Society, at a recent meeting of the association. He Baid tbat careful statisticians placed the annual value of the honey crop at and the annual value of the wax at 81,000,000, making a total of Tbe money value of the honey exported amoaots annually to and the export of wax amounts to 700,000 pounds. At the late English honey show the United States were credited with show- ng tbe best product. It was estimated that there were 35,000 bee keepers in the United States, and the product was OoO pounds of honey an average of 1,000 pounds each.

THIS TEAR'S HONEY CROP. Reports from member of the Society were next received as to the honey crop of the present season. Most of the members reported tbat the bees had done well till June, but that the crop will be light in Lancaster county for tbe balance of the season owing to tbe drouth. The same will doubtless hold true iu othr counties of Pennsylvania. Mr.

D. HL Lintner of Milleratown testified that his paid hitr 250 percent, on their cost. The work of attending them was light and pleasant and the profits of bee culture were enormous. One of the greatest disadvantages bee keepers have to contend with is the fre quent swarming of tbe bees. People who have large numbers of bives prefer to keep the les at making honey.

They want more honey and lens bees, as honey can be sold at any time and bees cannot. HOW TO PREVENT PEES FROM SWABMTNO. Mr.J.F.Her-hey read a paper on the "Best Method ot I'reventing Mwarmiog, tne main points of which are these: 'I find that there are four points that mnst be made use of, and those are shade, air, putting empty comt between brood and getting tbe bees to work in honey boxs. To prevent swarming commence as soon as tbe Digbfs are getting warm to keep the hives well shaded: but have them so arranged that the air can pass over and around the hive. If a hive in ever so well shaded and stands in a warm place where the air cannot pass over and around it, shade will not help to prevent swarming Shade and air mnwt both be made use of at the same time.

If shade is made with a roof, keep tbe roof one or two feet above tbe hiv-s; don't merely shade them by having the roof right on ton of the hive as then the rays of the sun will come too close to tbe hive. "When the centre combs are well filled with capped brood and the nights are warm, take an outside comb, and if tbe comb is full of honey nncap it; then put it between two combs tbat are filled with brood. In this way every eight days pnt a comb between brood. If three combs are put bet ween brood it is enough, and pot more than one comb should be pat between brood at a time; if more is osd at one time the brood nest is spread too fast for the bees. Give each "warm two, three or fonr sections filled with comb, and another section that is empty.

A soon as the bees gather honey, tbey will fill tbe combi in the section, and at the same time will commence to build combs in the adjoining empty section. As soon as the sections are full take thm off, and put empty sections in their place. If tbe sections are left on till tbey are all full tbe bees will not have enongn room to build combs; and will commence to build queen-cells and, the brood chamber tving filled with honey, the queen will have no room to lay." ARK PEES INJrrRIorS TO CROPS? The following essay was read by D. H. Lintner: "Some people will contend tbat bes are injurious to crops.

Now, instead of bee being injurious to crops, I shad prove to yoa that they are an advantage. First, the stamen and pistils of (lowers answer the different organs of tbe sexes tbat is, male and female. The stamen is the male, which furnishes tbe pollen: tbe pistil is tbe female, which mnst be impregnated by this dust or pollen, from th stamen, or no fruit wiil be prtwlned. Now, as we all know that the breeding in of animals is detrimental, so it is in the vegetable kingdom. Tbe pollen from one flower always falling on the pistil of its own flower would deteriorate.

Thus it becomes necessary tbat the pollen produced by the stamen of one flower shall fertilize the pihtil of another to prevent barrenness. This is fully accomplished by the bees traveling from tbwer to flower and carrying the pollen sticking to their legs and wings, to the next riower, and impregnating the pistil of it. If all the bees were to be destroyed, I for one, if a farmer, would prefer to go into some other business. This prejudice against bees seems to me to have no foundation, and I tK-pe that tbe day is dawning when it will be done away with. INTEREST I NO EXHIBITIONS A VASE OF HONEY.

A number of interstingexbibitions were made at the meeeting of the Lancaster County Society. D. H. Lintner showed a glas vase nearly a foot in height aud six or eight inches in diameter, the inside of which the bees had completely filled with honey. The vase presented a novel and very pretty appearance.

Mr. Lintner said that he placed a small piece of comb foundation on tbe inner surface at the top of the vase. He placed tbe vase on a wooden bottom, with an opening in it for tbe bees to enter or leave at their pleasure; he introduced the bees, covered the vane with a wooden box, and let the bees do the rest of the work. They commenced building comb on the foundation he bad furnished, commencing at the top and building a comb of tbe usual thickness from the top to tbe bottom, conforming the two ends of it with mathematical precision to the shape of the vase, barely leaving room for themselves to pass from one side of the comb to the other. The centre comb being finished and filled with honey, the industrious little architects went to work aud built additional coinlts on each side of the centre one, the inner surfaces of these being parallel with the surfaces of the centre one, and the outer surfaces being nicely con formed to the shape of the vase.

These, too. were filled with honey and capped. A COLONY REKS READY FOR SHIPMENT. J. F.

Hersbey exhibited a small colony or bees at work. Ibey were enclosed in a glass case a foot or more in length and heighth and about three inches in width. In tbe middle of tbe case was placed a piece or como foundation, secured in its piace by fine wire stretched from one side of the case to the other. On tbe founda tion the bees had built brood cells, tbe queen bad laid eggs in them and a great many of the cells were capped. By an ar rangement at the bottom of the ceil feed could be introduced.

Mr. Hersbey also showed two dozen cages, each containing an Italian queen ana six or eight Italian workers reauy ror shipment. The cages are simply wooden block, with holes bored in them an inch and a quarter in diameter, the top being covered with a wire screen. In this way they are easily euipptxi uy express.

McClurg, G. J. Free, Charles Stoehr, T. A. Black-more and 8.

H. French. Controller McCarthy and Chief Assessor Fulton were also in attendance. The meeting was called to order at three o'clock. Mr.

Keating The object of the meeting is to investigate the disputes now existing between the Controller and the City Assessment repartment, and to suggest a remedy for the present, and some method for the prevention of their occurrence in the future. Controller I will say that the disputes which have arisen are of snch a grave nature tbat I propose to make them the subject of a communication to Councils, and to ask tbat a committee of investigation be appointed. The law requires tbe Controller to report any delinquencies or deficiencies to Councils, and under tbat law I propose to state the naked facts. Then the committee that is appointed could have power to send for persons and papers, which this committee have not the power to do. The question is one of too great importance to take tbe mere verbal assertions of those interested.

FOOTPADS AT WOBK. Their Operation In Allegheny of Late. Of late footpads have been operating quite extensively in Allegheny. The other night a man named Wm. Lawrence was attacked by three men on South avenne, near the Exposition building, and severely beaten about the head and body.

As he had no money in his possession at the time their bold effort was in vain.

The father, who is employed in neighboring town, has, it is said, failed to provide for the family, and the little ones were obliged to shift for themselves. The officer says when he visited the house be found the five younger children in cnarge of the oldest, a girl of fourteen summers, who evidently played tbe part of a mother in a manner that would do credit to older ones. The youngsters were rather clean look in ar about their person, except that their garments were filthy. Both the father and mother are said to be worthless. The Esdi Jetties.

The concrete blocks of artificial stone are the largest in the world, and weigh from fifry to ninety tons each, and measure twenty by sixteen and two by four feet.

Mr. Schmidt, Btates that there will be forty feet of water in a few months. He will in a short time direct the improvement to be made in the Ked river, which enters tbe Mississippi about two hundred miles above New Orleans. The jetty system he thinks will be generally used wherenver improve ments are to be made, and is quite positive its introduction into tbe bouth will destroy or at least mitigate the yellow fever in tha seotioa.

M.COKM1CK, Foarta Aveuue and Stuitbbeld Street BLtra.Oi 1'a, frA 2 1 era 1 1 ca ance of their contract, xne jom-pany offered to warrant their hose for seven ears, and they ou2ht to tile the bonds. Mr. Coates asked the Secretary to read the proposals of the Eureka Company.

Tbe Secretary read as follows: "Ami we will guarantee that the said Eureka fire hose shall stand the wear and tear of yjnr department for a period of seven years from dateof contract, and we farther warrant said hose from all defects in manufacture, and will aree to replace such hose, free of charge, in return of defective lengths Mr. Hays I have gone to some trouble to find out something about the Eureka company, and I find that the Commercial Mercantile Agency says they started with a capital of ten thousand dollars and have never increased their capital. I can show yon that in black and white. Why this contract amounts to more than their entire capital. They ought to find a bond or their guarantee is worth nothing.

GETTING PERSONAL 19 THE EUREKA COMPANY BOTTEN Robert Elliott, agent of the Eureka Co. Can I make a statement? Mr. Hays Mr. Elliott ought to wait till he is asked to talk. Mr.

Elliott As agent of this company I have a right to make a statement. Mr. Hays This is a meeting of the Fire Commission. You have no right to talk here. Mr.

Elliott Whan I have permission from the President and other members 1 will speak. Mr. Coares We have never aked any other contractor to give a guarantee. Mr. Hays But this company offered to do so when they put in their bid, and they ought to do it.

What's the matter? Is there anything rotten about the Eareka Company? Look at tbe facts. They have a capital of only 310,000, and have sold ns tbat much hose- They warrant the hose for seven years, but file no bond. How are we to be protected if the hose isn't good? This Commission may agree to pay their hill, bat I enter my protest against it. ELLIOTT'S STATEMENT BIG BLOW SAYS THE CITY IS LIABLE. On motion Mr.

Elliott was granted permission to make a statement. He said tbe company had offered to give a written guarantee warranting the hone for seven years. Bat the Commission let the contract, and htd not aked for the guarantee. Tbey could not expect it now when the hose hd been delivered. Tbe company had fulfilled their part of the contract, and all they wan red was that the city do tbe same.

The Commission had never in its history asked for a written guarantee. Tbe Eureka Company have promised to replace hot and every section of hose tbat may prove defective, and they will do that. Mr. Hays Your company is bankrupt. In January you are going to move your office, and then whom can we hold responsible for the hone? Mr.

Elliott I deny that the company is bankrupt. ou did not ask us to give a guarantee wnen you awarded the contract. 1 will not give bo mis now. In addition, I want to say that the City Attorney to-day told me tbat the contract is valid, and the city will be bound to pay for the hose. Mr.

Hays When we let a contract for building an engine house we ask tbe contractor to give bonds for double the amount of the contract price. The law re pi ires a guarantee to be given, and the Controller is going to live np to tbe law. Have we not always asked bonds from builders, and did we not keep back $5c0 from a contractor on the South Side who failed to perform his duties? SOW'S THE TIME HOW THEY PRACTICE JOBBERY. Mr. Coatee I raise the point of order that since the bose has all been delivered and is now in use, we cannot ask the company to give bonds now.

Mr. Hays This is tbe very time to rectify this mistake. This is tbe time to make them give bnd. We have not paid the money. The hose not yet been accepted, and now let us have the contract duly signed.

A member Mr. Elliott.did I understand you to sy you would nie a bond? Mr. Elliott No. I will not file a bond now. A member I move that tbe bills all be approved exceprjthat of the Eureka Hose Company, and that it be deferred till the next meeting when there will be more members present.

Mr. Hays Tbere is a quorum present and tbere is no use to wait till others are here. That's the way this Commission has been doing business. When some members didn't want a quorum there was no meeting. When they hail a job on hand then they bad the meeting organized before some of us got here.

Tbere is no nse of giving more time to put through another job. NOVEL PROCEEDINGS ON A POINT OP ORDER. Mr. Coates I press my point of order. Chairman Erwin I don't want to decide the question.

We id batter wait till the President is here. I will put the last motion. Mr. Coates But yon can't get over my point of order. According to parliamentary law you are bound to give a decision.

Chairman Erwin Well, I decide your point not well taken. It is not in order. Mr. Coates Well I appeal from tbe decision of tbe chair. That is the quickest way to settle it.

Mr. Erwin now vacated the chair, and a of members strangely enough asked Mr. Coates to take the chair to rule on his own appeal. Tbey thought that was the parliamentary way of doing things. Mr.

Coates complied and staled his appeal, but it was not seconded. He vacated, and Cpt. Erwin resumed his duties. Tbe motion was now renewed that all bills on the pay roll properly probated be approved except that of the Eureka Hose Company, which shall be postponed till tbe next meeting. M-ssrs Erwin and McCand-less alone voted for the motion, and it was lost.

THEY A PROVE THE BILL. Mr. Hays I now move tbat no money be paid for the Eareka bose tiil the Eureka company file a bond with the Controller warranting their Lose to stand for seven years. Mr. Larimer I move to amend the motion so tbat a.

1 biiis be approved. Mr. Hays That motion is out of order. aKed lr. Whituer's Adveruesment..
