The Executive Committee, which was evidently made up of some of Cameron's men, offered a resolution saying that no one uld be recognized as a member who would not sign a pledge of loyalty to the Itepub-liuan party. This a "kick" anion the National and Democratic colored men who were present. A warm discussion followed, which grew warmer and presently lmssme red hot.

Man Attached In Church Alley by ool pads. Patrick Curtin, a middle aged man resident of this city, informed several po lice early this morning that he had knocked down in Church alley by two footpads, who succeeded in getting away with his pocketbook containing about $14 815. After securing the wallet they sicked him in tbe breast and tiwi. An hour or two later itricers McIowell and Carlin arrested two young men, named Edward Wilson and James Sands, on sus picion of baring been the assailants of I'urtin.

There was not a full quorum, however, ana no aenmte action was taken, though Health Officer Gray reported that the four new inspectors were now on duty.

They have examined all the through trains from Southern cities since Monday noon. N'oueof the passengers were atHicted with the disease. Mr. Gray also stated that he had made the best arrange ments possible with the Ft. Wayne, Pan Handle and Cleveland Pittsburgh Railroads in regard to rates for the inspectors.

He bad bought them commutation tickets, and tbe companies had promised to take back all tickets which remain unused when the scare is over. THE RAILROADS. a rod M. Brush They charge the in spectors? Well, that the smallest piece of business I have heard of. hen they want a street or a souare in the city they come into Councils and get it, and when a nublic orcantr.vin takes measures to pro tect the city's health then the railroads charge the city for tbe inspectors passage on the trains.

Health nicer Grav That's the best we could do. I have not een the government otiicials about using Davis Island for the laarrefo. but have heard that Col. Mer rill, Cnited States engineer, says we sha! Dot use the island. Mr.

Brash We won't ask Col. Merrill Dr. Thomas The IVard has power to use the property without their consent. Dr. McCann Let the Health Oitirer run h's first patient to the island and Col.

Merrill won't trouble him. Mr. Grav. who sems to be unfavorable to Davis Island an a quarantine, first Bug erested that it would prove rather a trying operation to patients, if any should hi found to haul theYn to that place, it wm stated that afflicted passengers conld be tak-n off the cars at Ingram Station and removed from there to the lazaretto. CHOLERA IV 154.

This disenssion recalled to mind a little incident which happened while the cholera so bad Pittsburgh in and cs Mayor Brush who was then employed abont the old Court House related the cident, while the reporter quietly jotted d'wn tbe notes, Mr. Brush In 1854 the cholera was par ticularly bad along Wvlie avenue, and one Mondav inorninfir Judge Sbaler and my self noticed a young Irishman standing with his team across the street. Above bi" where all sorts of wagons which twenty-fire different corpses were placed ready for conveyance to the ceme tery. Thev could not pass tbe teamster and Jndfite Sbaler and I went out to see about it. I asked bim why he ha-1 block aded the street and he said "by he intended to load bis wagon.

We gave htm a quarter of a minute to get out of the road and as he failed to do so. I caught his horse's head, and gave the animal a kick. The iires dropped from tbe driver's hands the horse was fiery and the last I saw 01 the young Irishman and his team they were at Cecil alley. The next morning Shaler asked me if I wanted lawyer and said he was ready but teamster never said horse to me since. the A rrSKRAL WAITINO OV THE GRAVE 1HGOEK.

Dr. McCord Twenty-five funerals seen from one window must have been a sicken inr sight. Mr. Brush Yes it was. The incident hartoened on a Monday morning.

Over eiehtv died an Wvlie avenue over tne pre vious Sunday and Sunday night and these were about the last to be removed. Dr. Thomas It was a harvest for the undertakers. Mr. Brush Yen and they were about bait drunk all tbe time; Wok whiky keen ud their courage and ward off the disease.

Some times they did'nt attend their business verv well. We went out the cemetery one day with the body of my own sou and there hadn't been a spade put into the grave yet. We were compelled to wait there until the grave was dug. i.mie groups of people were standing all about tbe cemetery. EAVT MORTALITY.

Dr. McCann There were a thousand deaths in the city in two weeks. Mr. Brush Yes, there were 1,10 deaths in two weeks. Tbe diteaee was worst frotn September 1st to 2ttb, and seamed to erlect bery pni most.

My boy was a stout, hearty lad of ten years. I sat up and piaved with bim until telve o'clock one nigbU At five o'clock the next morning he called roe into bis room and said he was sick. At eight o'clock be was dead He seemed to be all shriveled up by the cholera; to fall away. I would scarcely have known him at eight o'clock had 1 not seen him in tbe meantime. Dr.

McCann Thev borned coal on the street for protection. Mr- Brush Yes, wagon loads of it. wen down on tSoou street one day an hn't spent twenty minutes thereuntil hid seen eleven dead bodies. Dr. Snively The disease mast have been iu the water.

ALLEGHEXY'S FSCAl'E. Dr. McCann Singularly enongh there wasn't one case in Allegheny all the time. Dr. Tbomatf What waa ihe Sanitary condition of the city Mr.

Brush Why, it was fair. But down at the Point, where they roiled in dirt, they escaped the disease. Dr. Thomas It was bad on the South Side, but they used dinerent water from that used in Pittsburgh. Mr.

Brush There had been a long dry speil and everything was parched np. Tie sun looked like a great ball of red fire, Everybody noticed it. oftea talked about it. and then would go in and take a drink. Reporter Was the disease brought here bv toat Mr.

Brush Yes, it was brought up tbe river. In it was brought here from Wheeling. I farded at the old Black Bear, kept by Jimmy McMasters then. One night I was awakened by a fellow the next room making a great fnss. went to his room when he told me that he had come from Wheeling, had taken the cholera and was going to die.

He suffered fearfully. knew where the brandy was kept, got a pint of It. mixed into two spoonsful of red pepper and three of black pepper, went back and poured the whole of it into him He soon afterwards went asleep, and when old Dr. Ira Holmes came and asked what bad been done for tbe man I told him. He said it was enough to kill a horse, but the man recovered.

The fact of his sickness was published the next morning, and the tilaek lear it was a market tavern wasn't visited by a countryman for a month afterwards. AN INCIDENT OF I860. Dr. McCann In the cholera came here by rail. Was the first case from New York? Mr.

Brush "So: a steamboat, Acoustic, brought it up the river. There were twelve hands on the boat, and thev were all sick and all died. One of them died in a loft on Wylie avenue. He was a large heavy man. 1 was with the Foot hvoard then and I sent I ndertaker Williams np to bury him.

The man had got to the loft by a ladder, and Williams wanted help to get him down. I onered several men $10 to help him, but all refused. illiams took the corpse by tbe neck aod climbed down tbe ladder with iu 1 gave him tbe $10 I had ottered to the other men, anoV would you believe it, one member of the Poor Board pitched into me for squandering the money. Tbe cholera didn't spread much in that year lue conversation now dnitea from the cholera to the different charactertics of fat and lean men, and tue reporter left. THE RELIEF MOVEMENT.

Senator lon Cameron arrived here yM-rtay to try bia hand at soothing feelings. Ue came fresh with in-Hrructiona fmin K. Mackey, and loaded down with money.

Tbe Senator was accompanied by his yonng bride, but she continued her journey to Cleveland, aud the aou of his father was at full liberty to consult with the local Radical Idlers, Ity rae strange coiruM lence Col.

Bat of the troubles hich beet the two gentlemen from northern districts we shall speak further along. MOTLEY CKOWI) DON'S CALLERS. Don taken in tow by Postmaster A fulcrum, and Collector Rntan and circu- i tneiv about tbe streets. At one time In ihe h.y Le was a en standing on Smiih-tield stiee and with him were Knswll Krro and Uu'an to represent the former; Ciiy ltigelow and ren. Negley, both MCandlesi men; Dave Kirk, the Cir tiV i -k candidate, and one or two other Certainly a motley crowd this.

Must of the day was spent by tbe dis-tini uihed visitor in Collector Rutan's till---, wliu-h Mill keeps ud its reputation an 'he pmiiu whro trickery is con-reived and planned. Krratt, Rutan, Post-maf ier A miersoi), Frei Magee, Judge Herman, Ar liowand, Ralph Richard-s n. Mile? Humphrnv, Gan.

But, thtvte were not all the gentlemen wnntd in theottioe, for several were a turn oued thither who refused to go. SCHEMES Sl'BMITTEU. Varum were the schemes saggested for get twig our Guy, Richardson and Rowand oil" ibo track, but aii to no purpose. To a couple of the candidates the big chits offered half the salary of thojr competitors and an assurance th'it the nomination would certainly be given to them the nxt time. Even these big inducements however.

Rowand, th ciiididfite fr Clerk of Court, positively that he would remain in th" a Republican candidate arid Richardson was ju-t a determined to run for Rcordr. Miles Humphreys is a firm friend to Richardson and the gentlemen played on Miles a while, but all to no purpose. The "pud ler statesman" will do bin lrvM best for Ralph. As Richardson and R-owand are determined to run, the will direct thHr efforts to Graham and McGuunegle The latter can be easily ttwung, but (iraham not so easily, and as they are willing to abide bv the action of the committee, the great party of moral ideas would stultify itelf by 'going bick on them." Probably there wiil be mi'ld more munificent, offers to-day in the cases of the county candidates. THE CONGRESSIONAL FK5HT.

Radical leaders do not frequently nnbo-sm themselves for Iituucrauc edification, and junt what shape tbe suggestion took in relarion to the squabble of Errett and our Guy we are not prepared to say. Tbe negotiations wete with those whom Dr. J. Guy calls his friends and we heard it ti tampered that Guy ''waa ignored entireiy that he wa. only a ri jure head any how." That was the identical expression if the reporter's memory is to be trusted.

But then Guy b-s a host of friends, or rather Errett and C.imeron together have a host of enemies among some local big chiefs, those about Hall tor instance, and Don will nnd the.ni a crowd to xnanaee-Therwas talk of pulling off Errett in favor of either John M- Cune or Chas. Meyran, but Judge FetUrman says this story was incorrect. Just who visited Mr. Cameron from his sworn supporter io tbe coming -notorial contest, otherwise known as the Republican Legislative ticket, the reporter failed to learn. But a word concerning the THOl BLES IX THBCRAWFOUD DISTRICT.

The trouble auprtheuded by Colonel DiCk iu bis dtstrjet is trom Judge S. New-ion Pettis, ot Meadviile and friends of the letter. These charge that Colonel Dick and his ti iends faught John J. Henderson iu the rect-iit cotiteet tor Judge in Crawford, when, Hon. Pearson Church the Democratic candidate carrie.1 off the honors.

when Dick announced him-tell' for Congress, lleudersonand his friends threw their uudivided support to Judge Petti- who was also a candidate for the nominal ion. Heu'lerson's friends were getting in tilling work against Dick, who is the exponent of Camerouism in that sec tion. But during the hot st of the battle Pettis was quicklv summoned to Waeh- iuutou by the powers that be" and vras theie iiromised a first class npitointruent by Hayes, the apprnntment to corne lu a short time. He accordingly "wiihdrew from the contest. Thorn psou of l.ii it ion ud it convenient to be in Pitts burgh while the Republican conferees were iu bession, and Dick was nominated.

That wait eome tme ago. Judge Pettis H'lli looking for his appointment, while the IK-iid-rson clique are still at Dick Pet us may be ieft out in the cold entirely. and is douotless to have some sop thrown to Pettis as well as to have some proposed to quiet Henderson that Coi, Dick is in Pittsburgh now. THE ERIE FIGHT. The troubles of J.

H. Osmer of Venango. are tine what ei miliar. Hon. V.

VV. Ree and Hon. Lewis F. Watson of Eiie, re candidates for the Radical nomina tion in this district the Forty-sixth bnt at tbe nominating convention first held at Corrv and Mtibieiiuentl at Franklin, com posed of I delegates, neither could secure a maionty, and hence J. ti.

Osmer, the candidate of Venango county, waa ultimately taken by the Erie delegates snp-toriiig him. Subsequently tbe Erie County Republican tkjmmittee met and utter a spirited discussion a resolution was adopted i ensuring the- Erie county dele gates who voted tor Osiuer as their second choice, and a resolution waa also adopted declaring against Mr. Osmer and in favor of Mr. d. The action was based noon the violation of instructions by a portion of tbe Eriecotinty delegates in casting their otes Mr ir.

Osmer in preference to Mr. U-e 1. Tim latter was, therefore, claimed to oh the rightful candidate and cordially invud to enter the Held. His decision has not yer ln announced. Mr.

Osmer wanted inrluence and Rutan's Um to ve Mr Red decline to run. The msuit of the couferentM ia regard to these two Congressional districts was not learned. A MESTtttN SWIMILER. How an Oily Runner Fleeces Fur-off Dealers, i) aitcalllj I near! bed Agents, Poitffle For a year past letters addressed to M. M.

Howard Co have been received at the Pittsburgh PoBtottiee but have never hwn called for. The letters averaged about four a day. They were advertised out sua remained unclaimed and were sent to the dead letter omee at Washington. Messrs. Camp and Myers special agents of the Post office Department suspected that all was not right with this firm and institut ed an investigation.

The first clue was obtained la.t week when the agents attention was ciilied to a registered letter from 0. Smith, postmarked Dell Rapids, Dakota, Territory, August 1 and addressed to M. M. Howard Pittsburgh, Pa. The agents wrAe to the postmaster at Iell Rtpids to see Smith and get all the particulars about Howard a ad also to send their circular, if the latter firm used one.

Tbe Deli Rapids postmaster wr its that Mr. Smith had given authority to the postmaster at Pittsburgh to deliver the registered letter to the agents, Ca np and and aho said that the aent of Howard Cxx is doing a thriving bust nets. The agents obtained the letter from Postmaster Anderson of this city, and l.iund it to be a letter of inquiry relative t4r the canvassing agent being duW authori'! to sell goods for the firm, and io toU.V "11 (4 t'ult he had onerad goods at ten let- thn market rates and itMiueatvd iu advance itt tUe goods paid cash in advance, Mr. Smith, who was too shrewd a businessman to ray catdi to a stranger, gave him a large order, and as the goods failed to come wrote the letter to the firm of Howard Co, which he afterward permitted Messrs. Camp and vers to see.

There is no such hrm as that named in this city, and the numerous letters sent here to that address are doubtless from victims of this sharper. The trail of the swindler may be indicated from a letter received at the Pittsburgh Postoftice yesterday from Phelps City, Atchison county, postmarked August loth, and ad reused to M. M. Howard Co. If this was a cte that could be dealt with under the United States Postal laws the swindler would be hrongbt to immediate justice, but the Postuthce officials can do nothing-more than expose the villian.
