TO the Editor Of The Alleghanian:
A young man named Thomas Moore

emaugh station, on Thursday night last,
by a man named Roberts. The cutting

against Moore, the injured man, charging
him with assault and battery with intent
to kill
The pupils in attendance at the Cam
bria Iron Co.'s night schools here were
presented with several hundred dollars
worth of books by Hon. D. J. Morrell, a
few evenings since. The presentation
took place at the school house in Cambria
boro. During the exercises, quite panic
was occasioned by the falling of the top
plato of the stove. The persons in atten-
dance though. that the floor had given
away, and scene of indescribable eonfu-
sion ensued. Benches were upset and
windows broken in frantic efforts to fee
from the supposed imminent danger, and
| several ladies threw themselves headlong
from the second story to the ground
Fortunately, no one was badly injured,
though multitude were badly scared.
A young man named McGowan was
arrested here on Friday last, by detec-
tives from Pittsburg, on a charge of steal
ing. MCGOWAN was a resident of this
place for several years, but has been
staying in Pittsburg for some months
past. [. appears that in that city be met
an acquaintance, who procured him a
clearinghouse and went security for his
board. Nee, in order to show his graf
itude, rugged himself up in his friends
best suit of clothes and appropriated his
friends watch, and then decamped. He
was traced to this point and arrested
The stolen clothes were found on his per-
son, but the watch was gone.
The Turner'S masquerade ball comes off
at Fronheiser's hall this evening. 1t
promises to be an entire success, over
three hundred tickets having been dis
posed of.
The house of Mr.. G. Suppes, On Clin=
ton street, was entered by burglars on
Friday night last and pocket-book con-
tanning about FIVE dollars distracted there
from.
The arbitration in the case of Trainor
VS.. McCabe, for damages sustained by the
former from being accidentally shot by the
latter, came off at the Foster House on
Saturday, and resulted in favor of the de-
fendant.

Mr.. C0wARDIN's LEcTURE.-Mr. J. P.
Cowardin, Of the Richmond Dispatch, de-
livered lecture last evening before an
audience of not less than twelve hundred
persons, at the new Democratic headquar-
tiers on South street. He commenced by
remarking that it was his first attempt as q
lecturer, but if the repeated bursts of ap-
plause with which he was interrupted as
he proceeded in his discourse be IN evil
dence of success, he may be said to have
made decided hit. Mr.. Cowardin's theme
was history of the legislation in Virginia
since the close of the war, and the now
miserable condition of that once proud
State, brought about, rs he charged, by the
reconstruction acts of Congress and the re-
cent Convention, in which her former slaves
took so active and prominent part. He
compared the first Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1929, in which James Monroe was
escorted to the chair by John Marshall and
James Madison, with the action of the late
mongrel Convention presided over by Judge
Underwood. His sketches of the colored
orators in the late Convention, together
with limitations of some Of their choicest
harangues, were extremely humorous, and
ELECTED roars Of laughter. General Benja-
min F. Buffers visit to the Convention was
given in graphic style, and the debate of
the colored members on the question of per
diem was inimitable. At the conclusion of
the lecture Mr.. Cowardin received vote of
thanks from those present. 1t is under
stood that he proposes to repeat his dis
course within the present week under some
what different auspices.-Baltimore San,

THE DEATH PENALTY IN NEW JERSEY
We understand that the friends of the abo-
lition of capital punishment in this State
contemplate making vigorous and united
effort for the passage of either a compro-
mise bill or total abolition act at the next
session of the New Jersey Legislature.
They seem to be greatly encouraged by the
very favorable vote had on the bill of last
winter, which made it discretionary with
the jury to decide, in cases of murder in
the first degree, whether the convict should
be hung or imprisoned for life. The bill
received a majority of the votes cast, al-
though not the thirty-one votes necessary
to pass it through the lower House, where
it was introduced. Senator Martin Fl.
Bovee, of Wisconsin, by whose exertions
the gibbet has been abolished in several OF
the northwestern States, intends next win
ter to enter upon On anti-hanging campaign
in New York, and it is expected that he
will devote some of his time to New Jersey.
