SINGERS LATEST IMPROVED SEWING
MAoHINEs.-we call special attention
to the above machine, as the most per-
feet yet invented. It requires no skill
to operate it, has greater range of
work than any other machine, and will
not get out of order. You can learn
to operate it in five minutes. 1t makes
the lock stitch and uses straight nee
die; with it you can make the most
beautiful hens of any width with as
little trouble as is required to sew a
straight seam on any other machine.

AN accident occurred at the Fort Pitt
W Works, Pittsburgh, day or two since,
which gives singular proof of the Won
derful properties of nitro-glycerine.
Two men attempted to blow to pieces
the hub of an old fy-wheel with this
agent, but did not succeed in exploding
it, and therefore emptied it out and tried
to break the wheel with heavy ham
mers. One of the men was holding a
cold chisel on the hub with both hands,
while his companion was striking the
chisel with sledge-hammer, when the
two or three drops of the liquid gum
powder that remained, exploded with
fearful violence and serious results.
The hub and wheel were broken to
fragments, several of the flying pieces
striking and injuring the men serious
ly. It seems almost incredible that
quantity of this substance SO small as
TO escape close observation should have
such immense power when exPlodedi
but as several of the Pittsburgh papers
give the same version of the affair, 1t is
undoubtedly correct.

DIR. CoNNELLY's New GAs.-we in
vite attention to the advertisement of
the Petrolio Calcium Gas Company of
this city, which appears in our adver-
Using columns. This Company, by a
process patented by DR.. ]. n. Connolly,
makes gas of a much superior quality
to that produced in the ordinary way,
and this, too, out of an otherwise WORTH
less product of petroleum oil, namely
reSiduunt. This gas can be made much
cheaper than the other, gives better
and softer light, and is free from all
disagreeable odor.

A HANDSOME PIECE OF WORKMAN
sH1P.-one of the finest pieces of artis-
tic sculpture which we have seen lately,
is the beautiful and chaste tablet just
finished at Rohan's Marble Works,
Market street, above the I'd Ward Mar
ket House, for Mr.. Christian Franzell,
and which is to be placed over the re-
mains OF his late wife. 1t is of Roman de-
sign, and might, not inaptly, be called
grow a bed of flowers. In both design
and finish it is elegant, and to see and
examine it is worth a trip of miles. No
one who contemplates purchasing any
thing in this line, should fail to call and
see this piece OF art before making a
choice.

IMPRovESIENTs.- During walk
through East Wheeling, yesterday
morning, we noticed several improve
ments going on.
Mr.. Edward Reid is putting up fine
brick dwelling house on the corner of
Fifth and John streets.
Mr.. p. G. Hildreth has almost COM
pleted the outside work on new dwell
ing house on Centre street. The lot
upon which it is building, is so feet
front and running back 120. The build
ing itself is 40 feet by AZ. There is a
wide hall in the centre, haDked by
roomy parlors on each side. The sto-
ries will be three in number, and the
rooms, eight, with an attic extra. Mr..
Hildreth intends fitting up his estab-
lishment with all the modern improve.
ments, gas, bath room, cooking
range &c. There will be
four lights to each window, of French
glass, 4S by 16 inches-shutters inside.
The windows are surmounted by ele-
CANT iron caps-sills also of iron, made
by Thos. g. Culbertson, Es1., at his
foundry on Market street. the door is
constructed on the recess pattern. A
beautiful cornice crowns the street
front. The roof-'pitch''-is of tin.
Messrs. E. Coen d Son are the archi-
tects, and do the carpenter work; Jas.
A. Bodley d. Co. do the brick work; Mr..
Henry Gunther, the stone work; Mr..
James Stewart, the painting; Mr.. viii
son Kennedy, the plastering; VIM.
Hare, the plumbing and gas fitting; and
BeDj.F. Caldwell, the tin roofing.
Mr.. Hildreth has superintended the
construction himself, and expects to
enter his house about the first of Octo-
Der. When completed, his residence
will certainly be one of the handsomest,
II not the handsomest, on Centre street.

THE "SIeNs OF THE IMEs."-From
every section of the land we have
cheering accounts of the crop prospects,
and the "signs of the times" indicate
plenty of everything at reduced rates.
The 'fsig1e of time" at los Main street,
indicates that Oxtoby d. Dufield are at
the old stand with fine assortment of
American and Swiss watches, clocks,
jewelry, spectacles, eyeglasses, gog-
giles and fancy goods. See ADVERTISE

TIE RESERVOIR on the side of the
hill, not long since, received its yearly
cleansing. Whether the work was done
as well this year as it was last and
years before that, we are not able to
say. But we do know that something
is wrong. Being an out and out water
drinker, we have discovered that we
can enjoy glass of well tasted aque-
Gus fluid no longer. All our water
drinking friends have made the same
discovery. From all sides complaints
are sent forth; and it would be great
favor-not exactly favor, but some
thing which they have right to de-
mand-to the citizens if the Superin-
tendent of the Water Works should
make such examination as will reveal
the cause of the badness of the water
with which we are now afflicted, and
having found, remove the same.

STILL ANOTHER BIBLE.-The "Lo-
cal" of the Register, yesterday, treated
his readers, in his most facetious style,
with description of Bible belonging
to Squire Schultz, of Ritchieiown,
which he claims surpasses that of Mr..
Cockayne. He forgot to mention that
it was the same upon which the worthy
Squire swears witnesses, in the hope
of impressing them more efectually
with the sacredness of an oath. But,
passing by his little lapse in descrip-
ton, we were shown, yesterday, by
Squire johnson, Bible that beats
both Mr.. Cockayne's and Squire
SchuItz's. The book was printed in
London in 1916, and afterwards re-
ceived its binding in Baltimore 1t is
cravings, and is seventeen inches long
by ten in breadth. The Squire reads
it on Sundays.

DEAD BODY OF AN INFANT FOUND IN
A GUrTER.-Yesterday morning, JUS
tice Oldham, of the 4th Ward, was no.
tilted that the dead body of a newborn
infant was lying in the gutter on the east
side of Sixth Street, between Clay and
Lindsay. He Immediately took steps
TO investigate the matter.
About 10 o'clock a jury was empan-
neIed consisting of the following !:
Messrs Perry Tracy, David Whitehead,
James Whitmire, Jeffry Mills, Charles
RAIDER, Casper Hill, John Roney, Gar
raft Jack son, a. Gearing, Leopold
Buch, Larry Gillespie and James
Groves-I2. But, as the medical gem
tIeman in attendance desired to make
a post 1aortenl examination of the body
before testifyiDg in the case, the JUS
lice directed the jury to meet in the
Police Court room in the basement OF
the Court House at 2 P. ".
at the time appointed the investi-
CATION was resumed.
The medical gentleman testified that
he had made a post nlo7tenl eXam1na-
ton of the remains, and was OF opin-
ion that the child Ia male) had been but
recently born, and that it had breathed;
did not find any marks upon the body
W hich would indicate that death had
been caused by violence; stated that the
cord" was cut extremely close and
had not been tied; death sometimes re-
suited from such a cause through loss
of blood.
There was no evidence to indicate
when the body had been placed in the
gutter nor to cast suspicion upon any
one. The jury returned verdict that
the said child came to its death at the
hands of some person or persons un-
known to the jury"
The body was ordered to be taken to
the Peninsula cemetery and buried.

STREET RA1LwAY.-The cars have
been running, during the past two
days, as far up as the block of tene-
ment houses this side of the upper roll
ing mill, The people of Martinsville
are jubilant over the facilities now Of
fered them for reaching town, and vote
the Street Railway the best Institution
of the age. Property in Martinsville
has already taken an upward turn in
view of the prospect that many per-
sons will now purchase and build in
that town, who, but for the Railw ay
would have lived and died within the
limits of the city. If property holders
on the outskirts of the city grow sud
denly rich, they will ascribe it all
properly too-to the completion OF the
Street Railway from Ritchietown to
Martins Ferry.

as be very useful in diseases of the throat
and lungs. To test the value of IL in the case
alIuded TO, I compounded a small quantity
of the medicine that had been planning,
and gave it in teaspoonful doses. The result
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
DAYS the Irritation OF the throat was remov-
ed. the cough subsidized and a speedy cure
was effected. Soon after this, Isent some to
n ia1v in I,ondonderry, N. h, who had been
suffering for some weeks rom bad cough
occasioned by sudden cold, and had raised
mucus streaked with bl Jod. She soon found
relief and sent for more. She took about
fan ounces of Il, and got well. ]. B. Clarke,
Esq, editor OF the Manchester Daily Mlrror,
made a trial of the same preparation in the
case of a severe cold and was cured tmmen-
ately, He was so highly pleased with the re-
suits, and so confident In success attending It's

finally persuaded me to give 1t name, ana

BASE BALn.-The following amend
ments to base ball rules, published by
the association, will be read with sin
tsrest by the numerous skfllfol players
in the city. 49, " = - 4.
i. The pitchers line is reduced from
u to six feet. m sita j..
:. 2. Balls bounding to the bat, going,
over the batman's head, or the side, he
does not strike from, are "untair'' balls,
and must be called after warning.
8. A jerked ball is one delivered by
touching the side of the body arm. A
thrown ball is one sent in. with a
straight arm, swinging perpendicular.
4. The striker is such only until ihe
has hit fair ball, then he becomes "a
player running the bases" 50
s. A baked or called ball Is dead, and
no player can be put OUT on 1t. Neither
can the striker make a base on baked
ball, unless in the latter case 1t be the
third ball called. -
8. The batsman can be put out on
three strikes If the third ball he strikes
at be a baked or called ball. And no
strike at such a ball is to be counted;
and likewise no strike made purposely
to strike out. ,E 3
Z. The striker must have one foot on
the line of his position when he hits the
ball, and cannot take a step either back

crowd of spectators in any way, 1t be-
comes dead, and is not in play again
until the pitcher has held it while stand
ing within the line of his position.
8. No player running home when
two hands are out, can score his run If
the batman be put out before making
the first base. y,.,

foul balls, but also call out how and by
whom a player is put out. Thus II Che
striker be put out at first base, he must
call out, "Striker out at first base"
IA. All persons who play ball for
money are called professional play
ers," and as such cannot play in any
match played by any association club;
and any Umpire learning that such
player is in nine in a match in which
he is acting, must at once call "time,"
insist on the professional being re-
moved from the nine, or resign his posi-
ton as Umpire, thereby making the
game null and Void,o n
