Numerous Burglaries.

COLUMBUS, December l3.-The gang of
burglars, who are regarded by our police
as resident company, put in their
work last night on East Rich street, en-
tering number OF houses, and carry
ing off a considerable amount OF plum
der.
About o'clock this morning the wife
of VIM. Is. Huston, residence l73 East
Rich street, was awakened by noise in
the room adjoining the one in which
she was sleeping with child, and dis
covered some one turning down the light
which had been LETT burning. Suppos-
ing that her husband, who was absent,
had returned, she spoke to herintruder,
who thereupon went to the window,
jumped out and escaped. lie took
with him a valuable gold watch and
chain, stolen from the premises.
Intellectual attempts were made IN
three or four other houses in the SAME
neighborhood.

The Golfer Dam


PITTSBURGH, December II, 1873.
The Golfer Dam
And various structures being erected by
the Government at Davis Island have
again come into view after the subsi-
dence of the food, and notwithstanding
the predictions OF certain river men they
remain intact No damage whatever
was done by the river beyond the delay
occasioned in pushing forward the work,
not complete days work having seen
permitted by the weather during this
week. This morning the masons were
put to work upon the brick structure to
he used as dwelling by the lock-keep-
ers, and a number of labOrers were EN-
ployed in filling in the space between
the railroad and the inner lock wall.
The water which remains within the
structure will be pumped out in few
days, and work upon the lock will begin.
1t is not yet definitely settled as to the
exact date OF the ceremony Of laying Of
the cornerstone OF the structure.
Convicted of Buying Votes.
4 great deal of interest has been mani
tested in the trial at kittanning Of Sheriff
Williams, of Armstrong county, in
dicted for bribing voters at his election,
and swearing in his oath of office that
he had not done so. Among other wit
nesses called for the Commonwealth
were George Mack, who testified that
Williams had given him 81 to work for
him one day; K. d. Weaver, who told
Williams he was not going to vote Tor
him, when Williams gave him s. and
told him to vote for him, and j. Il. Croll,
who gaveS5 TOD. Croft i'll Williams pres
ence for his support, and that Williams
repaid Croll a. soon as Croft had gone
away. Another witness, Jerry Mead,
testified to telling Williams he could in
tiucnce some Roman Catholic votes for
him, and when Williams next met him
he told him there was - for him at the
Walker House, which money was paid
the witness by the bar-keeper. James
b. Walker, proprietor of the Walker
House, said that Williams had told
him 10 do what in his judgment he
thought best; to make out his bill, which
would be paid and no questions asked.
Witness expended the sum Of so, in
accordance Nltil lHSlTuttlollS, anu Ilibit
out his bill, which was paid
by Willsams without an objection.
The lieutenant of the military company
(the Captain OF which received mill
tary coat received sword for his sup
port. \. b. Scott, Democrat, swore
that Williams had promised him 500
for his support, and for circulating a
story among his brother Democrats de-
rogatory to Williams opponent. The
witness and Williams compromised the
dispute which arose as TO the amount of
money due Scott by the latter taking
$40, Williams saying at the time that
his (Scott's) expenses had already cost
him over $50. The defense has mainly
consisted in discrediting witnesses OF
the commonwealth. Several witnesses
whose taxes had been paid by Williams,
testified that he had loaned the money
only for that purpose, and that they had
since returned it. The jury this morn
ing found verdict of guilty in manner
and form as indicted.
