The University Race.

The university boat race, three miles,
on Saratoga Lake, N. Y, yesterday, re.
suited in the victory of the Cornell six,
vorite up to the moment of starting, sur.
prised everybody by taking the sixth
place. The shell of the Cornell crew is
OF paper, the others being of Spanish ce-
ss, depth St inches, and weight $50 lbs.
The time ofithe winners, l6 minutes and
SGT seconds, compares very favorably
with that OF former races, that of Column
bia last year being over seventeen min
utes. Thus the victory Of Cornell is a
memorable one as to time, endurance and
pluck, land is remarkable as a fitting
climax to the freshmen's victory Of the
previous day. 1t is stated as a notewor.
thy fact that the students composing the
Cornell crew are from class who have
had to work hard, and whose immedia. e
ancestors are workers. The single scull
race postponed from Tuesday wus won
by Kennedy. of Yale. Wv"

AnOther Rtng- Ruled CItV,

According to a correspondent Of the
New York Tribune. the city of Pittsburg,
Pa, has been subject to the rule of a
ring, whose operations have been on a
scale of magnitude second only to those
of Tammany and the Washington rings.
1t is reported that when the Pittsburg
water-works were begun. 1t was under an
act of the Legislature which strictly linn
tied their cost to S3,000,000. Already
nearly 81 900, ,000have been expended, and
the works are not nearly finished. While
the streets in the heart Of the city are in
a shocking condition, being without ex-
ception badly paved and shockingly ILL
thy, 81, 100000 have been spent recently
in the suburbs constructing magnificent
avenues six or seven miles long, where an
ordinary country road would afford all
needed transit facilities. Great prices
have been paid for shoddywork in paving,
bridging, grading and sidewalk laying,
the contractors growing rich, after divi-
ding profits with the members of the ring.
This ring did not get to work until 1873,
when the municipal debt of Pittsbure
was in round numbers $3,S00,0OO Now
it Is over S12 SOC, 900, and million more
must lie put on top OF it before the water
works can be completed. Since they set
tied down to business in earnest, the ring
have quadrupled taxation, besides piling
up this load of debt. While reducing
the rate of assessment from AZ mills to
Is, they raised the assessed value of pro-
perty from the old basis of $40, 600, 900 up
to the cash market value of SIG, ,0OO, 900,
and the result was that the collections
which yielded in 1873 only $421 ,426, in
1874 produced 81 ,76l AT. This increase
OF taxation in time of great business de-
preston produced a political revolution
which gave Allegheny county to the de-
mocracy last fall after it had bsen held
by the republicans for fifteen years.

A Pretended SANITARY Inspector the
PrepsIrat0r of the Deed.
New YORK, July 14.-About three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Van
Slack was sitsing in the kitchen of her
residence at No. Mangin street, en-
| gagged in sewing, when a young man
| of respectable appearance entered the
doorway and announced to her that
he was. "a sanitary inspector, and that
he had come to examine the water
pipes in her part of the house. His
bearing and address were not such as
to excite suspicion, and not shadow
of doubt crossed her mind as to the
truthfullness Of. his claims. She allow
ed him to make such examination as
he thought proper, and lie seemed
highly pleased with the appearance of
the pipes. He said to Mrs. Van Slack
that everything looked SO clean that
he wouldn't go down into the cellar,
but that he would make favorable
report concerning her home. He then
went to the door, and, glancing out,
made few affable remarks concerning
her garden and several other things
about the place.
The stranger had impressed Mrs.
Van Slack with the belief that he was
a pleasant gentleman, and profiting by
his success he drew chair up near
her, and between herself and the door.
After sitting down he spoke few
pleasant words, praising the appear
ance of her apartment and noticing
two Spitz dogs lying on the floor, ooh,
by the way" said he, partially rising
as If to go, "who owns this house?"
Mrs. Van Slack was on the point of
replying, when, before she could de-
fend herself or cry for help, he sprang
upon hcrand grasped her by the thi oat
with both hands. She was unable to
offer more than trifling resistance, and
the pain was go great that she YVES
soon disabled entirely. The blood
flowed freely from her mouth and
nose.
Tied around her waist, and hanging in
front, was q small pocket, in which all
her ready money was hidden. The pock-
| ct was outside her skirt, and was only
concealed by the skirts of her small
jacket. This pocket thel.robber turned
inside out, taking the entire contents,
which he rolled up in small piece Of
brown paper, and which amt united to
about $50. In the early part of the
slight struggle between the thief and
his victim, one of the dogs, seeing that
his mistress was in danger, rushed .up
and seized the robber by the leg, where
it clung with great tenacity.
AS soon as the young man had sue
ceeded in accomplishing his design he
released Mrs. Van Slack and turned his
attention to his troublesome assailant.
He first used stove LITTER. and when
wood, and after some trouble he sue.
ceeded in driving off the dog. In the
mean time Mrs. Van Slack had scream.
ed and then tainted. The robber seeing
the way clear retreated in the direction
by which he had entercd-through the
back door to the garden, thence through
q rear gate to the alley way, and so on
out to the street.

kSOCKED DOwH AND RoBBED.-O"
Saturday night about nine o'clock, two
Germans named August Fredericks and
Philip Stoutz residents of the Eighth
ward, were attacked by party of four or
FIVE drunken roughs just below 34th
street. and knocked down and badly
beaten. The attack was unproyoked,
and so sudden that neither of the men
had the least opportunity to defend
themselves. Fredericks had HI accor-
deon in his possession, which he had just
purchased, and which the roughs carried
of with them. The men were badly
beaten about their heads and faces, and
before they had recovered from the
effects of the assault, the attacking party
made good their escape. Fredericks and
his companion did not know any of their
assailants. and there is no clue
to their identity. The police
were informed of the affair, and are look
ing up the matter. We hope the guilty
parties may be discovered, and brought
to speedy justice. They deserve the
severest punishment for this unprovoked
outrage, and we have no doubt the courts
will give them the fullest extent if
they are arrested.
