A HOnSE WITH A HISTORY

Union and smedley hotels in the city Of Philadel

rles, but the Union, on Arch street. has quite an
interesting history which is we'll worth knowing
to any who may visit the Centennial. The build
ing now known as the Union hotel at which Jno
NJ Faber and Miss Josephine Rmball of this city
are conspicuously engaged, was erected in the
year 1878 by the Special American agent of the
Rothsohilds, hs his own private palace. II was in
that day one of the most prominent and elegant
structures in the city having been built by mas
ter workmen in the highest style of architecture,
and without regard to cost. Everything about
and within II was Of the finest and best, though
ffty-eight years ago things were vastly different
from to-day, The most attractive feature about
this building however, remains as attractive TO-
day as 1t was then, and many visitors In the city,
though they he quartered at distant places having
heard of its history call to visit the Union
When the building was about finished and every.

painter, Menechesi, was brought to Philadelphia
from his country for the especial purpose Of

the paintings, and probably the handsomest, is

PITTSBURGH, EAST END, Pa
The essentials Of a College designed for
the Education OF Young Ladies must nee

Building, which is complete and well
adapted in all its appointments of sight
pure atmosphere; an outlook of natural
scenery, at once grand and inspiring, and
internal arrangements as to Heat and
Light, Commodious recitation rooms,
sleeping apartments, with q full and
home-like suite of furniture: In addi-
tion to these material appliances, the
Home Life must be that of high order
of refinement and Christian culture, that
is elevating in tone and genial in its in
fuence; the eunconsCiousgove that
moulds the character, and developes the
inner life, so as to mature a perfect Wo-
manhood. The Education of the intel
lect, without this, is worse than a nullity
it is positive evil; but combined with
the higher culture Of the heart, and the
gentle society of a Christian Home, a
unique and harmonious training is secur-
ed, the influence of which will be fruit
ful Of lasting good.
/ The Educational Department of Female
College must be complete in the range of
its curriculum, elevated as to standard,
thorough as to training, and so admins
tered as to develop the indiuduaRsm of
the student, as we'll as the reasoning
powers of the mind.
The demands of the age call for some
thing more than superficial instruction,
and questionable inducements, solid ac-
quirements, and realized educational re-
suits, will alone meet these demands.
From personal knowledge-and also
from testimony of patrons-we can with
the most positive assurance recommend
the Pennsylvania Female College of Pitts
'burgh, as meeting most fully the above
mentioned conditions. The Buldin0 in
all its arrangements is admirably adapt
ed to the purposes designed; it is beauti-
fully located on Fifth Avenue, in the
East End, with range of grounds and
picturesqueness Of scenery which is un-
surpassed; the surroundings comprise the
elegant residences and beautiful lawns
of our most prominent citizens.
The internal appointments of the Home,
are complete; no expense has been spar
ed, in order to render every department
perfect in its arrangements, as well as
promotive of comfort.
The corps Of instructors is equeal to that
of any ofour first.class Colleges for Young
Ladies'; and is fully adequate to the
work of Higher and Solid Education, as
well as the more Ksthetic department of
Music and its corelatiue8 in the Fine Arts.
We can assure parents that in this In
they will be certain to find
everything which is promised in the Cat
alogue fully realized, and equal to their

DEATH ON THE RAILROAD-E d. CUSACR
KILLED.

On last Tuesday night about eleven o'clock,
F, NJ. Cusack, boiler maker of this city, was
killed at the Cherry street crossing of the p Fl,
w. C, Ry. Mr.. Cusack came here about five
years since from Brooklyn, New York, and
started shop near the junction of the railroad
and TusCaraWas street, known as the Canton
Boiler Works. Some time after, through the
failure of another establishment with which he
had intimate dealings, he lost a considerable
amount, after continuing at the business for
some time he took in a partner, George Wilton
who ultimately bought him out. On last Thurs.
day Wilton sold out to another party who there
upon paid CusGck S25 to release all claims he
might have on tools and other articles, and en-
gagged him (Cusack) to go to work as an emplove
on the following Monday. Cusack came up town
Thursday afternoon and paid several bills from
the S25 he had received. He paid A. Arter the
grocer $40 on account 1t is not known lust
where CuSack was during the rest of the dav
and evening, but after train number two came
in, after ten o'clock, he was at the depot and
for quite While was engaged in conversation,
singing songs, acting as man would who felt
in jolly mood, with two young men, who were
sitting on the water tank at the west end of the
depot platform. He had evidently been taking
something to drink but Arter's clerk, Fred,
McCloud, who was there at the tank says he was
not really drunk in his opinion. About eleven
o'clock after the first section of freights going
East had passed them, Cusack said good night
and started up the track westward The second
section of freights was coming East up near Ault.
mans shops, and in few moments the engine
stopped at the east end of the Cherry street
crossing with the dead body of Cusack under it.
The engineer saw him, but not in time to stop.
He was lying directly across the track and only
the first truck wheels passed over him, the one
cutting off one of his heels and the other having
crossed diagonally across his right shoulder, neck
and left jaw, manging him horribly and almost
severing his head. There are many theories as to
how he came to be lying on the track. The most
plausible to our mind, being that he tripped and
fell, striking his head and rendering him sense
less. This is supported by the fact that he had
bruised place on the forehead where the car
wheel could not have touched. theory of foul
play has been advanced, but very family. The
coroners jury completely exonerated the railroad
company and any of its employees. Mr. Cusack's
people in Brooklyn who are sasd to be well off
were telegraphed TO, and replied asking that his
remains be sent Immediately, sending telegraph
money order for SIS. In the meantime, A. After
went security for 500, and his body was shipped
on Saturday morning.

Hylas, the valuable trottlng stallion belonging
to Kitzmiller & Sons narrowly escaped injuries
which might have proved severe a few days ago.
The boy who was riding him about for exercise
turned into the curb in front of Lawrence d Myers
hardware store on East TuscaEwas street, to
speak with some one, and while standing there
some careless farmer drove heavy iwo.horse
wagon in at the same place, the box of which
struck Hylas on the hip, and the hubs barely
touching his hind leg, The boy was as far in
as he could go without getting on the sidewalk
Hylas is worth several thousand dollars, and
risk of that kind will not bear repetition.
