The Duties of Certain Officers as Defined
by the Ordinances of the City.

Correspondence OF lllt lNCbtoNtl'
1t can't be shown by any ordinance OF
the city, that the Sergeant can release a
prisoner whether he is in the city lock
up or in the city workhouse on the hill.
The ordinance in regard 20 the lookup
saws: That the keeper thereof shall
safely hold and keep all prisoners COM
mitted TO his charge, and on order OF the
Judge, or one acting in his place, bring
such prisoner before him for trial.
The Sergeant hasn't anything whatever
10 DO with the lookup after he puts
prisoner there. 1t is entirely under
the control of the keeper, and no
one except the Judge can release
on bail, or in any other way, those
put therein. | know it has been the
custom for many years, for the Sergeant
and his deputies to take bail for the APP
pearance OF prisoners, and, think, in
most cases, it is proper and right that
they should do these things. 1t isn't
always necessary to put person in
prison when arrested. The public is not
benefited by it. The Sergeant and his
deputies should have a prudent discre-
ton allowed them in this matter. The
ordinance does not confer this prerOga-
tive. | know, but still, | believe, they
should exercise it, so as not to let the
interests OF the city suffer in any way
whatever. The city wOrk-houSe is en-
tirdlv under the control OF the Superin-
tendent thereof, and all prisoners put
there by commitments are to be held
until their time expires, unless sooner
released by the Judge or Mayor The
Sergeant cannot release anyone under
any circumstances whatever. II the
party paws out the release must be
signed nv the Judge or Mayor, and all
charges made in fines, etc. must be en-
dorsed upon the back OF the process by
either the Judge or Clerk of the Munich
pal Court. Under the ordinance the
Sergeant cannot endorse anything on a
warrant except the payment. Ii he
does anything more than this he trans
cends his authority and interieres with
another officer.
The Superintendent OF the city work
house is responsible for the sale-keep-
ing of those committed to this institu-
ton, and for everything connected with
its management. The Sergeant has
nothing to DO with him individually, or
those under his charge. ). ;. ;.

THE COAL LOCK.
Miners Meeting-POsition of the
Miners.

At the meeting OF miners at ParkeT's
Hall, on Saturday night, large num-
her, probably one hundred, were in at
tendance. The situation was fully dis
cussed and with one voice they agreed
TO hold out until their demands were &C
coded to. The following reports were
received and will show how the various
mines stand:
Marshall, at Slacktown-Men at work
at Sl.75 per 100 bushels, bank measure.

fuses to brand wagons.

all the other banks do so. Objects to

2t cents for digging, but will not brand
the wagons.

to furnish coal for peddling.
Nolan-Men at work for ,! cents a
bushel for coal passed over screen OF
II to J inches. Wagons branded.
Smith, Slacktown-Will comply with
the demand.
After the reports were in there was
considerable discussion on the question
as to whether bank measure should not
be allowed to be adopted by the owners
who desired the method, but, on mo-
ton, it was decided to stick out for the
original demand.
Committees were appointed to visit
Marshall's, Cowan's, Nolan's and other
banks to notify the miners OF the action
taken at this meeting, and request them
to stand firm for the demand.
The meeting adjourned to meet We'd
nesdav evening at the same hall to hear
the reports of the committees.
After the meeting the Executive Com
mittee met for the purpose OF dividing
the funds on hand among the strikers
who were most in need of aid.

DnileY's Doom.

Charles DALEY, who was arrested in
this city, some time ago, by Detectives
Junkins and smith, for completely in
the Allegheny bank robbery, received
his sentence on Saturday. \ special
dispatch 10 the N,uS-LtHsr says: Among
these called up for sentence in the Grim
inal Court to-day, before Judge Ewing,
was Charles DALEY, oil Wheeling, con-
victed of completely in the daring day
light robbery of the Worklngmen' Sew
ings Bank. of Allegheny, in April last.
Judge Ewing sentenced Daley to the
customary st cents fine, and TO
undergo imprisonment in the West
ern Penitentiarv for four years.
Daily was only sentenced on
one count Of the indictment, there be-
inc three, His Honor remarking that
as the other offenders were not present
he would deal leniently with Charles.
This action of the Judge occasioned
some surprise, but the general opinion
is that the sentence, light as 1t is, will
fall more heavily on the prisoners rela-
tives and friends than on the prisoner
himself. Detective Jerry Smith, Of
Allegheny, who brought Daley up
from Wheeling some weeks ago. awards
10 Detective Junkins, OF Wheeling, the
heartirst praise for the valuable assist
ancr rendered blythe latter.

about thirteen, met with the serious
accident OF having his index finger
amputated by a machine at the tack

barrassed on account of sly maneuver
which he thought sharp eyes could
not catch, or rather he thought
sharp eyes were unknown to a certain
professional gent. W. found himself
detected, became confused, and made
preparations to make hasty retreat.
And here comes the sequel; in his con-
fused state of mind he walked out

WAYMAN CHAPEL.
Dedication Yesterday by Bishop
Wayman.

Many persons might have yesterday
noticed that the streets in the central
portions of the city were thronged
with colored persons TO an unusual eX-
tent, but without knowing the cause,
and it might further have been OBJ
served that in the afternoon all OF them
took one general direction and toward
one objective point-Market street,
above Tenth. At that place stands Il
neat edifice, bearing on marble slab,
over the front central window, the
words "Wavman Chapel, a. VI. +.
church, A. ID. 1879" which fully eX-
plain the religious uses to which the
building is put. 1t is commodlous
vet cosy structure, was built by j. y.
Holiday and George Crumbacker and
the cOlorcd wOrshippers may well be
proud oft.
The occasion of the gathering, ycstcr-
dav, was the dedication OF the chapel by
Bishop Wayman, of this colored diocese.
The members of the congregation turned
out in force, and long before the hour
announced for the service, the church
was nearly filled. Among those who
gathered were many white Methodlsts,
who took a warm interestin the proceed
ings. Bishop Wayman, assisted by Rev.
Smith, of Pittsburgh, and Rev. Prosser,
the pastor of the church, conducted
the dedicatory services which were
those customary to such ceremonies.
The singing, which was carried on unas-
sisted by instrument, was unusually
good, the singers pouring their whole
heartsin theirmusic. The Bishop then
preached an excellent discourse, taking
his theme from the 10th verse OF the 9th
chapter of the Songs OF Solomon. lie
was listened to with great interest and
the closest attention, and delivered his
sermon with much force and express
sion. The colored people are to be con-
graduated upon the result OF their un-
firing efforts to build handsome church
as well as the success of the dedicatory
exercises,

Alvin Joslin Com bination.

our readers are not likely to forget
that one OF the best plays on the boards
will be produced at the Opera House to-
highland tomorrow night, by the above
combination, and that seats can be Sc
cured at Lucas music store. The Wash
inston Rppbijcop thus speaks of them:
The National Theatre was crowded
last evening on the occasion OF the first
performance of calvin JOSlin," and the
uproarious fun prevailing in the audi
ence during the whole performance
sustained all that has been said
of tis piece. The character of
Alvin Joslin, portrayed with great ar
tistic skill OF Mr.. Charles l.. Davis, pre-
sentS typical matter Of fact old New
England farmer, a sort of rough dla-
mond. whose quaint sayings and broad
humor keep ripple OF laughter run
ming through the house all the time.
Mr.. Davis is strongly supported by a
large company, every member OF which
is a good actor. The play has its tragic
and pathetic as we'll rs its humorous
sides, but every scene is well sustained.
