Allegheny, on Tuesday last, while bathing in the river.

Runaway. Saturday evening a son of Mr. Daniel Dempsey, accompanied avenue by a young man, horse was driving down Penn in a two buggy, when the horses became unmanageable and ran off. Both the young men were thrown out, but neither was hart much. At the corner of Penn avenue and Ninth street, one of the horses broke his leg.

The second horse succeeded in getting loose from the wreck and ran down Ninth street, and across the Ninth street bridge to Allegheny, before it was stopped. Dr. Pearson's Seven Years Ministry. Dr. Pearson, in commencing his service last night at the Fourth avenue Baptist church, said he had purposely refrained from announcing any pulpit theme that he might quietly announce the close of seven years' pastoral and preaching work in the United States, and review the leading events of those years.

As a motto rather than a text he selected Genesis "And he gathered up all the food of seven sears." The address was of course of peculiar interest to the congregation. Among numerous other facts were the following: Dr. Pearson had received into the fellowship of the church within seven sears 711 new members; there had been contributed for denominational purposes upwards of he had delivered in Western Peunsylvania alone over 100 special sermons, at dedications, commencements, installations, He had on an average annully married twenty-one couple and buried thirty-two persons. The church in all things had proceeded onderly, and it was enjoying much of the Master's presence. Concerning local issues he said: "I have never replied to a line of abuse, nor have penned or inspired a line of rejoinder, so far, to any opponent.

For any future assaults I may feel it imperative to try another policy for the sake of others and of the Allegheny Cemetery and the Mowry Estate. the Editors of the Commercial Gazette: In reference to the late decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in regard to the claim of the assignors of a certain interest in or portion of Mowry estate, now in the hands of severnon-resident attorneys who expect to make fortunes out of an equivocal, if not a disreputacase, it may be well to state a few facts relating to the claim so far as it regards the Allegheny Cemetery, which after all extends only one-fourth of the property conveyed. Shortly after the purchase by the Cemetery the entire farm of Col.

Bayard, containing something over 100 acres, in 1814, an adjointract of 56 acres, lying along the northline of the Bayard tract, was purchased Mrs. Eliza Mowry and her sons, the mother and two of her sons joining in a warrantee deed of conveyance to the Cemetery. William was then a wanderer from home, indulging his wild and roving propensities among the Indian tribes of the North, and has seldom, if ever, been seen in this region since. After hearing all the testimony gotten up on part of the plaintiffs to prove that a marriage had taken place between WiD. A.

Mowry and an Indian squaw, the U. S. CirCourt in this city, of which Judge MeKennan is President, decided that the pretended marriage was illegal, null and void. that the case is remanded back to appears Court wherein it was first tried, where validity of the reputed marriage. and other points will be reinvestigated.

But. suppose, what is not probable, that claims of these enterprising plaintitts should be sustained, as it appears their zeal energy are not damped by the death of they to obtain peaceful possession of the Meister, the party originally interestal, how In 1844 the protecting shield of a broad property? charter, granted by the State of Pennsylvania and framed by the wisdom of the Hon. Richard Biddle, was thrown over all the lands then and since owned by the cemetery, setting them apart sacredly for all time to come for burial purposes, and no other; and between that time the present, over one thousand burial lots have been sold, and LOW belong, not to the cemetery, but to one thousand different persons; four thousand interments have been made, and one hundred soldiers, all victims the late war, have been buried in the seetion claimed by these modest heirs and representatives of the Indian Squaw. By what process of law, justice, or humanity can this slumbering host of the dead be disturbed in their graves, when it is known that they are protected by a law of the State, also passed since the adoption of the new Constitution, which imposes a heavy penalty by fine and imprisonment for all violations the sanctity of cemeteries in the Commonwealth? Who would covet the gift with the incumbrance? The following is the important part of the by which the statutes of Michigan, intended to throw safe guards round the argument, marriage contract are ignored, and the decision Judge McKennan reversed. "Such regulate the mode of entering into a mariage contract, it is said, but they do not confer the right, and hence they are not within the principle that where statute creates a right, and provides a remedy for its enforcement, the remedy is exclusive.

A statute may take away a common law right, but the presumption is against intention to do so unless it is clearly pressed. Whatever directions the statutes may give respecting its formation or solemnization, courts have usually held a marriage good at common law to be good not withstanding such statutes, unless they contain express words of nullity. In this case the marriage was with an Indian girl by declaration cohabitation." To the mind of a common reader, of course profoundly versed in the metaphysles of the law, it presents a remarkable specimen of "point and ambiguity," or in other words, of misty reasoning, and foggy logic. Unfortunate, indeed, and repugnant to moral and religions sentiment of the country will it be, when the public mind comes accept the opinion suggested by cohabitation" this decision, alone, that "declaration. and without witnesses, minister, or magistrate sufficient to consummate and legalize the long and responsible contract between and wife, and when this loose, vague, unrecorded, and worse than Mormon custom to any extent, take the place of the time ored, sacred and solemn marriage ceremony as practiced in every civilized and ordered community.

During the past two days two daring tempts were made to destroy the "House the Good Shepherd," on Troy Hill, by On Saturday morning smoke was discovered issuing from the basement, and on entering the cellar a pile of shavings and wood around one of the posts supporting the was found to be blazing up pretty The Allegheny Hose Company was quickly summoned and the fire soon extinguished.

KILGORE'S REPLY TO THE MANDAMUS. Treasurer Kilgore, through his counsel, Major Brown, made answer, in Court No. 1, to the alternative writ of mandamus issued at the instance of Controller McCarthy. After citing certain ordinances for the government of the office of City Treasurer, the respondent goes on to say that he has faithfully and dilgently performed his duties, as required by the laws and ordinances relating to his office. The respondent says furthermore that he did report daily to the Controller the items of his receipts and payments, and the Controller tins not reported to Councils any default or delinquency in this matter.

He denies the authority of the Controller to demand so plicit and minute reports as he asks for or duplicate of the reports. These latter, daily he says, would impose upon him an onerous work which he is unable to perform. An arthe case will not take place until gument in Controller McCarthy has filed a reply or demurrer to the answer of the Treasurer. THEACH OF THE MARRIAGE PROMISE. Miss Ennice Evans has entered suit in No.

The ment and injury were such that she demands satisfaction in money.

NOT ENOUGH SIGNERS. A few days ago a flank movement in the Butler-Matthew case was made in the Court of Quarter Sessions, by Alderman Matthews filing a petition to have the contested election proceedings set aside, on the ground that the original petition does not contain the requisite number of signatures.

Watson and Over, counsel for Matthews, moved the Court, on Saturday, for the appointment of a commissioner to inquire into the facts.

Judge Ewing holds the matter under advisement. ATTACHING WAGES OF RAILROAD MEN. A suit for damages, to test the right of creditors in Pennsylvania to attach wages due railway employes in Ohio and Indiana, has been brought in the Court of Common Pleas No. 1. The action is brought by Wm.

A Delightful Summer Retreat in the East End-A Long-Felt Want Supplied by an Enterprising Citizen. Our citizens have felt for many years, and especially since the completion of Fifth and Penn avenues, which afford easy access to rural districts, the want of a place beyond the confines of the old city limits, where they could breathe the pure air of the country, obtain refreshments and enjoy themselves generally. This want, we are gratified to state, has been supplied by Mr.

To-day Between Ten and Six O'ClockInstructions for Observing. The passage of the planet Mercary between the sun and earth to-day will be visible all over the American continent, by means of glasses of average power. The first recorded transit was observed in November, 1631, since which time thirty hare taken place. The special interest which attaches to this transit is the opportunity it will afford of testing Verrier's theory of an intra-mercurial planet. The transit will be watched at all the observatories, including that of Aliegheny.

The superintendent of the Nautical almanac has issued elaborate instructions for observing the transit. A telescope will be required of not less than a three inch aperture, with magnifying power of not less than ninety diameters. A good time-keeper, properly regulated, is indispensable. At four minutes after ten o'clock the contact will first 00- cur, and sharp should be the word in getting your eye fixed in the line of sight. As soon 38 the transit becomes apparent, register time prompt, or, better, keep your eye at the telescope and get an assistant to register the time.

Two or three minutes after the first entry of the planet on sun's dise the second or internal contact will occur. The third contact will oceur when the planet first touches the western edge of the sun, and that will be about twenty-six minutes before six in the afternoon. All observations should be sent to the Naval Observatory at Washington for comparison. Transits of Merenry take place at an average of ten years, either in November or May. DEFRAUDING CREDITORS.

Serious Charge Against a Prominent Citizen. James T. Stockdale, trustee of the Pittsburgh Savings Bank, filed a bill in equity, in the Court of Common Pleas No. 2, against Jake Hill, John H. Morrison and Philip R.

Boblen. The bill sets forth that petitioner, as trustee, has a legal title to all the property of the bank; that the defendant, prior to transactions hereinafter mentioned, owned one hundred acres of land in South Versailles township; that in Jane, 1874, Hill, being insolvent, agreed with Morrison to convey him the same property for the ostensible consideration of that he did so convey the property, dating the deed June 2, 1873, and making it to John F. Morrison, but intending John that said Morrison did not pay $25,000, or any part thereof, but that the conveyance was merely to keep the property out of the hands of Hill's creditors; that on the 8th of July, 1874, Morrison, at the request of Hill, conveyed the property to Philip R. Bohlen for 826,500, executing the deed under the assumed name of John F. Morrison; that said Bohlen is an uncle of Jake Hill, residing in the State of Tennessee, and did not pay any money for the land, but merely assisted in the unlawful design to keep the property from the creditors of Hill; that Morrison and Bohlen both well knew the purposes of Hill at the time were to defraud his creditors; that Hill did not procure the signature of his wife to the deed, and that Morrison, representing himself as a resident of Ohio, resides in Allegheny county; that judgments amounting to about 820,000 were obtained by complainant against Hill previous to said conveyance of Morrison; that on a note made by Hill to Duncan, Cornell Thomas Faweett, trustee of the Central Bank, recovered judgment against him at the June term, 1874; that at December term, 1874, said property was levied on and sold by the Sheriff to Wm.

J. Kountz, trustee, and a deed made to him by Sheriff Hare, and that the title devolved on complainant as successor to said trust. The Court is asked to declare the conveyances by Hill to Morrison, and by Morrison to Bohlen, frandulent, null and void, and to require them to deliver up said deeds for cancellation. WATER COMMITTEE. Letting of Additional Contracts Rolls and Estimates--Routine Matters.

He recommended that it referred to Councils for approval, which done.

The laying of 120 feet of pipe on Twentyninth street was ordered; also 300 feet on Forty-sixth street. A question then arose as where the money wits to come from to pay the works Some of the members thought could re paid for out of the receipts from sales of bonds, but Controller McCarthy stated the money SO obtained can only used for the new water works. Major Slagle had given 3 legal opinion to that effect. Petitions for laying water pipe on a portion of Homewood avenue, Viekroy street, Bluff street and Smallman street were referred to the Mechanical Engineer. A resolution was adoptordering all the city pipe now stored in the yard of Wm.

Smith Sons to be placed on the streets where is to be nsed. Bids were opened and contracts awarded as follows: For excavation for influent pipes, to Ww. Flinn, at $2,100. For the coal sidings for the boiler houses, to the Keystone Bridge Company, at 82,190.00. For intluent pipes, N.

Smith, at cents per pound. Air feeders for air vessels and expansion rollers, Marshall Morris, at $11.99. The committee appointed to determine route for laying the mains reported that had decided upon the Butler street route. The report was approved by the committee. A special meeting of the committee will called to consider the matter of opening Butler street from Sharpsburg bridge to Hiland avenue, a distance of 7,000 feet.

Adjourned. OBITUARY. Ber. David Cook Page, D. D.

On Saturday, the 4th inst. at 12:30 P. the Rev. David Cook Page, D. expired at his residence in Allegheny City.

He was born in the City of New York, August, 1801, and was therefore in the 77th year of his age. He was the last of eight sons of the late Benjamin Page, a native of England, who, at the birth of David, was engaged in commercial pursuits in New York, but subsequently removed to this city and was associated with the late Benjamin Bakewell in the manufacture of flint glassware. The firm of Bakewell Page and Bakewells Page, will be remembered by our older citizens as one of the highest repute in the city. David received his literary education chiefly in the Western University in the days when Doctors Black and Bruce were its leadprofessors. His theological training was in a Divinity school under ing the supervision of the late Bishop Hobart, of New York.

About 1925 he was ordained at Philadelphia, by Bishop Whitethe first Bishop of Pennsylvania to the deaconate and afterwards advanced to the order of priesthood by the same prelate. His first ministerial charge was of a mission embracing in its jurisdiction the towns and vicinity of Greensburg and Blairsville. While thus engaged, we believe in 1829, he accepted a call to Christ church, Louisville, and was afterwards rector of a church at Natchez, where he was urged as candidate for Bishop of that Diocese, and came within one vote of being elected. Daring his residence at Natchez, that city was visited and sorely ravaged by a malignant type of yellow fever. So alarming was this visitation that every clergyman in the city escaped from it, except Dr.

Page, who won undying distinction for his courage and fidelity in visit1Dg the sick and burying the dead. His praises resounded in the press throughout the South. The last charge he held in the South was at Memphis, Tennessee, where he was settled for several rears, and so endeared himself to the people that notwithstanding he frequently resigned his rectorship, owing to bad health, the people wondd not permit him to leave until he was wholly disqualified by sickness and peremptorily gave up his charge. He came thence to Pittsburgh, and having partially recovered his health Rectorship accepted for a few months only the of St. Paul's Church, Erie, severe and prolonged sickness compelled him to relinquish ministerial duty for a time, but like a brave soldier, who, when cured of his wound returns to the field, Doctor Page was prevailed on to take the Rectorship of Christ Church, Allegheny, from which, after years of faithfnl and efficient labor, he was again driven to retirement by frequent attacks of his old malady.

He never again assumed the care of a parish, but from time to time, when health permitted, was seen in the chancel and heard from the pulpit of some of our several Episcopal churches. His life has many times been thought in jeopardy. It may be ascribed to the affectionate, constant and tender care and skillful nursing his wife that be has not passed to his reward sears 320. Doctor Page was a gentleman of imposing presence. His tail and stately figure is to be seen no more among men.

was He one of the most able and impressive preachers we ever heard. His elocution was rarely equalled; his diction was pure; his style was lofty, not florid, and enriched by the higher graces of composition. His voice was rich and sonorous. He spoke, as he used say, "pot from the throat, but from We loved to hear him read the beautiful service of his church.

Opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States-What that Court De. cided. certified copy of the opinion of Justice Strong, of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case, was received on Saturday, and the material parts are given below.

By reference to the closing paragraph of the opinion, it will be observed that the reversal of Judge McKennan turned on a very close question. The learned judge says If all the evidence given or legally the question of the before us, we might be of that opinion," is, that there was no evidence of a common law marriage which could be submitted to the "but the record does not contain it all, and we are unable, therefore, to say the ruling of the Court was immaterial." The counsel for the defense regard this language as very significant, in view of the fact that all the evidence bearing on the subject of the marriage was actually before the Court, although they had no judicial knowledge of the fact that it was. Following is the opinion: The learned Judge of the Circuit Court instructed the jury that if neither a minister not a magistrate was present at the alleged marriage of William A. Mowry and the daughter of the Indian, Pero, the marriage was invalid under the Michigan statute, and this instruction is now alleged to be erroneous. It certainly withdrew from the consideration of the jury all evidence, if any there was, of informal marriage by contract per verba de presenti.

That such a contract constitutes a marriage at common law there can be no doubt, in view of the adjudications made in this country from its earliest settlement to the present day. Marriage is every- where regarded as a civil contract. Statutes in many of the States, it is true, regulate the mode of entering into the contract, but they do not confer the right. Hence they are not within the principle that where a statute creates a right and provides a remedy for its enforcement, the remedy is exclusive. No doubt a statute may take away a common-law right, but there is always a presumption that the Legislature bas no such intention unless it be plainly expressed.

They are intended as directory only upon ministers and magistrates, and to prevent as far as possible, by penalties on them, the solemnization of marriages when the prescribed conditions and formalities have not been falfilled. But in the absence of any provision declaring marriages not celebrated in a prescribed manner or between parties of certain ages absolutely void, it is held that all marriages regularly made according to the common law are valid and binding, though had in violation of the specific regulations imposed by statute. As before remarked, the statutes are held merely directory, because marriage is a thing of common right, because it is the policy of the State to enconrage it, and because, as has sometimes been said, any other construction would compel holding illegitimate the offspring of many parents conscious of no violation of law. The Michigan statute differs in no essential particular from those of other States which have generally been so construed. It does not declare marriages void which have not been entered into in the presence of a minister or magistrate.

It does not deny validity to marriages which are good at common law. The most that can be said of it is that it contains implications of an intention that all marriages, except some particularly mentioned, should be celebrated in the manner prescribed. The 14th and 15th sections are those upon which most reliance is placed in support of the charge of the Circuit Court. The former declares that no marriage solemnized befora any person professing to be a justice of the peace or minister of the gospel shall be deemed adjndged to be void on account of any want of jurisdiction or authority in such supposed minister of justice, provided the marriage be consummated with a full belief on the part of the persons so married, or either of them, that they have been lawfully joined in marriage. This, it is argued, raises an implication that marriages not in the presence of a minister or justice, or one professing to be such, were intended to be declared void.

But the implication is necessarily so broad. It is satistied if. it reach not beFond marriages in the mode allowed by the act of the Legislature. Both these sections, the 14th and the 15th, are to be found in the acts of other States, in which it has been decided that the statutes do not make invalid common-law marriages. It is unnecessary, however, to pursue this line of thought.

If there has been a construction given to the statute by the Supreme Court of Michigan that construction must in this case be controlling with 115. And we think the meaning and effect of the statute has been declared by that court in the case of Hutchins vs. Kimmell, 31 126; a case decided on the 13th of January, 1875. The decision of the Michigan Supreme Court had not been made when this case was tried in the Court below. Had it been it would doubtless have been followed by the learned and careful Circuit Judge.

But, accepting it as the law of Michigan, we are constrained to rule there was error in charging the jury that if they found neither a minister nor a magistrate was present at the marriage such marriage was invalid, and the verdict should be for the defendant. It has been argued, however, that there was no evidence of any marriage good at common law, which could be submittel to the jury, and, therefore, that the error of the Court could have done the plaintiff no harm. If all the evidence given or legally offered was before us we might be of that opinion, but the record does not contain it all, and we are unable, therefore, to say the ruling the Court was immaterial. The case must, therefore, go back for a new trial. We do not consider the other questions presented.

Thes may not arise on the second trial. The judgment is reversed and a new trial is ordered. BOOKS WHICH DON'T BALANCE. Balance Sheet that is Not a Balanced Worth of Bonds Not on Record. The Conneils Committee on Claims and Accounts met on Saturday afternoon, Mr.

Bigham in the chair. The meeting was specially held to consider the matter of the investigation of the Treasurer's and Controller's offices. Mr. Pier presented the following, and moved that it be affirmatively reported to Councils: Resolved, That the Committeeon Claims and Accounts be, and hereby is, instructed to examine and inquire into the books of the offices of the City Controller and of the City Treasurer; the assets and liabilities of the city; the condition of the several sinking funds; the manner in which the said accounts and books have been kept, and the manner in which the city's business has been conducted in said offices. And the Mayor is hereby directed to issue and compulsory processes for the production before the said committee, at its pleasure, of such persons, books, papers, or memoranda, whose testimony it may deem necessary to a thorongh investigation, and in order that the testimony may be presented for the inspection of Councils, the said committee is instructed to employ a stenographer, who shall make a compiete record of the same.

The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Pier then offered the following, with a motion that it be recommended to Councils for adoption: WHEREAS, The City Controller, in a communication to Common Council, has recommended the temporary employment of an expert for the thorough examiuation of the books and accounts in the fiscal department of the city, and has stated that his present elerical force is inadequate to performing that task in addition to its ordinary duties; and, WHEREAS, The ledger of the late City Controller, on the 31st of January last, appeared to have been out of balance in a very large amount, and the discrepancy remains undiscovered; therefore, Resolved, That the Controller be hereby authorized to nominate a competent and experienced bookkeeper to the Committee on Claims and Accounts, who, when confirmed by the said committee, shall be employed under the direction of the Controller to search for errors and discrepancies, and to make the proper corrections in the city's accounts. This also was adopted. Mr.

Pier stated that he had applied to the Controller's Chief Clerk, for a balance sheet of the city's accounts. It had been furnished, and showed that the accounts do not balance by singular, 8218,050. inasmuch This, Mr. Pier said, was very as books kept by the double- entry system should balance exactly. Mr.

Pier refused to give this balance sheet for publication at present, bat stated that among other things it shows that there is no record on the books for $14,000,000 worth of bonds.

The spot chosen is one of the most commanding sites in the cemetery, and is close to the place where the late Senator delivered last public address in his Indiana, on the 30th of last May, and exactly on the spot from where he addressed the German Veterans on Decoration Day two years ago. It is about midway between the chapel and the flag-staff, at the summit of the slope, and in a lot 50x70, given to the family by the cemetery corporation, of which the deceased was a charter member. The ground in which he lies was chosen by himself and Gen. Ekin for the soldiers' burial ground. Very Base Ball.
