ROBBED OF HIS TIMEPIECE.

A Gentleman Relieved of His Watch Early
This Morning.
A daring case of highway robbery took
place on Fifth avenue, near the market
house, about 1890 o'clock this morning.
Samuel Rossan, the victim, while on his
way home, was waylaid by three men who
relieved him of silver watch and chain
valued at $35. The robbers did not do Mr..
Rossan very considerable violence beyond
rough handling, and he reported the matter
at police headquarters as soon as possible.
Mr.. Rossan signifed his ability to recog-
nize at least one if not all of the men, and
the police in the different districts were
notified, but have not yet succeeded in
apprehending anyone.

sTE1NwAY, CONovER, OPERA.
The Most Populnr Pianos.

These are the most celebrated and trust
worthy pianos of our time. The Steinway
requires no praise at our hands. Its superb
ority is fully established. The Conover is
the next great piano. It needs no praise,
either, for to hear and see it is TO love and
to buy it. Then comes the charming Opera
piano, of which make there are thousands
in the best families of Pittsburg and neigh
borhood. A splendid fresh stock just re-
ceived at H. Kleber Bros, 5O6 Wood
street, which will be sold at but a small
advance over cost and on accommodating
terms. The Kleber Bros are preferred by
the big majority of piano purchasers, be-
cause of their splendid reputation for hon.
est dealing and unfailing musical judgment.
Old pianos and organs taken In exchange.

ARTIFICIAL ICE In TEXAS.

MIR. DeDew.

So Cheap That the Poorest Use II, Says
MIR. DeDeW.
Mr.. Charles Depew, an old-time DISPATCH
reporter, and subsequently real estate broker,
is in the city on visit, after several years
residence in Texas. He states that he came
back to see how much Pittsburg had grown,
and he thinks it has done very we'll.
Discussing the very probable failure of
the ice crop hereabouts, Mr.. Depew says
that should there be successive failures
until people would be forced to depend on
the artificial product, they would soon learn
to relish the change. as they would get
cleaner ice just as cheaply before long.
Mr.. Depew says that in Galveston artlf-
cial ice sells almost as cheaplv as the
natural product does in Pittsburg. Com
petition pulled down prices. as the making
was very profitable, and what was once a
luxury when taken from the North is now
regarded as necessity even by very poor
people,

Woman the Moral Arbiter.

The morals OF n people depend on

frmness OF ther morality society
stands. Modesty is incomparabiy
more marked as a natural virtue in
their sex than among the men, and.
apart from religious motives, what
ever OF CONTINGENCY and purity exists
IN human society is due almost ex-
clusively to female firmuess and
delicacy. This purity gives woman
innuence- IL creates the sacredness
OF the family relations. Ii gains
the respect and appreciation of
husbands: it halloEs in the
minds OF children a mothers
incubation OF right principles.
Nhen the women are strictly
modest, the men will rise to n t,or-
responding standard of s-lf-respect.
they will be chivalrOus and honor
able; home will attract them. ami
social reputation will rise TO mr.

places but little value on her own

mold her in exalted esteem; her

Bishop Hsmilton's Case.

In the Third District Court,
shortly after two O'Clock today,
Bishop James Hamilton, heretofore
convicted Of unlawful cohabita-
ton, appeared TO receive sen.
teuce. In response to ques-
tons by Judge Zane the defendant
stated that It was his intention to
obey the law in relation to polygamy
and unlawful cohabitatiOn, cOnsid.
ering that il was his duty to do 50
in consequence Of the position re.
Gently taken by the Church to
which he belonged.
The Judge asked the District
Attorney If he had anything to say
on the subject. Mr.. Varian replied
to the effect that ifthe court believed
the defendant was sincere in his
promises IL ought to be lenient to
him.
MI. NtpS ie-lu utlall u the ue-
PENDANT, directed the attention OF
the court to the fact that tine testi.
mouy given at the trial showed
evidence of sincerity. The bulk
Of it indicated that the de-
PENDANT had not visited his plural
wife, but that the latter had -
against deienSant's wishes-visited
his legal wife in n friendly or soci.
able way. No special acts OF CO.
habitallon were shown in his con-
duct.
Judge Zane said he was inclined
to accept the statements OF the de-
fenlant as genuine, and rs the OBJ
jeet ofthe law was TO reform and not
20 inflict suffering, he would impose
a fine OF Si00 and costs. Judge Zane
expressed the opinion that this course
would better subserve the public in
terest than sending the defendant to
prison. The latter's example, he
thought, would have a salutary fe-
feet.
The fine and costs were paid and
defendant discharged.
