ALL THE SEWS FEOIT KEAK-BI TOWSS IfirECIAi TIXEGEXll TO THE DISPATCH.! FEASKMifi J ?& Piphthcria has become epidemic in Cranberry township, Venango county. If ine children have died within the last fonr days, and a number of others are down with the disease, which has 'spread rapidly in the lower end of the county. So violent has the disease become 'in St Petersburg, that the schools have been closed, and the Council has passed an ordinance prohibiting the holding of any public meetings. A number of fatal cases have oc curred there and many new cases !are reported. Two little daugh ters of 3Ir. Ellis Lipley died las. Thurs day night, nd three other children in the same house are very low. In several families there are three and tour of the members down at one time. In nearly every case where the disease has been allowed to cet a start it has resulted fatally to the victim. Prompt and vigorous tieatment is required at the first symptoms of the disease, or there is but little hope of the sufferer getting well. At present the disease is confined almost entirely to children between the ages of 5 and IS years. A COLORED FItEACHER FIRED. Ills Brethren Believe Him Guilty of Crosi Misconduct. PAnKEKSBUEG, "W. Xjl., March 9. At the third day's session of the Washington Confer ence of the A. M. E. Church the greater por tion of the morning was devoted to the exami nation of the character of the ministers. The character of every member of the conference received a favorable report until the Secretary called the name of Bev. M. A Dyer, when not less than a dozen members sprang to their feet and in broad and unmistakable language charged the gentleman with gross miscon duct. It appears that Rev. Dyer left the Washing ton Conference about two years ago under a cloud. Dyer's name was then unanimously declared withdrawn under charges, an equiva lent to expulsion. Nearly the entire forenoon was devoted to this branch of the business. AGAINST THE COMPANY. James O'DonclI Secures DnmtiKe. Against the Baltimore Bad Ohio. Newaek, March' 9.

Purify Your Blood When spring approaches, it is very important that the blood should be purified, as at this sea son Impurities which have been accumulating for months ore (en years, are liable to mani f est themselves anderionsly affect the health.

A contest in the election of J. S. Powers as a Justice of the Peace in Patton town ship was commenced yesterday. A petition was filed, in which the petitioners claim that the returns were false and thai J. S. Powers was not elected. The three candidates were William N. Haymaker, J. 8. Powers and James a McCllntock. The returns were as follows: Powers, 151; Haymaker, 152; McCllntock, 155. There were two to elect. The petitioners say that in the First district the vote of George Barckley was taken, and that he is not a resident of the township; also, that there were a number of votes cast by persons who were not qualified voters, and whose votes were cast for Powers, and for said reasons they want Powers' elec tion set 'aside and Haymaker declared elected. The Court fixed Saturday, March 23, for a hearing, and directed Powers to answer the petition on that date. . Judge Slagle yesterday handed down an opinion refusing a charter to the Supreme Castle Ancient Order of the Knights of the Mystic Chain. The reasons His Honor gives for refusing the charter are that although the law of 1S71 does not require that the proposed charter be filed in the Prothonotary's office be fore the publication of notice of the applica tion, it has been the practice to do so, and the Court holds it to be a perquisite of the grant ing of such charter. In this case the charter was filed on Febru ary?, only three weeks before the date of pre sentation. The court states that the applica tion also contained material alteration by erasure and interlineation. The court could not certify such to be in proper form and says: "An Instrument of such importance should Tjot be mutilated. To permit it would open the noor of great abuse, as material alteration might be made after acknowledgment and even after approval of court and before recording which there would be no means of detectine.-' Opinions of the Supreme Court are quoted showing that a charter should be written on one sheet of paper and without interlineations. DIMMEY'S CHANCE FOR LIFE. The Convicted Murderer's Jury Drnnk Whisky, So He Profited by It. Joseph Dimmey, who was convicted of mur der in the first degree for the killing of Special Officer Miller, of Allegheny, has been granted a new trial. Judge Collier yesterday handed down an opinion granting the new trial, and commenting on the testimony taken on the motion before the Commissioner. The only reason for a new trial filed in the case worthy of consideration, he said, was the one charging misconduct on the part of the jury. The act of the juror sending out a card that he would not be home.that night was irregular, but not sufficient to grant a new trial on. As to the statement concerning the remark made by Juror Niemann about "niggers," which Mr. Niemann denied, the Court did not feel justified in saying that Mr. Niemann was guilty of wilful falsification. The fact was clearly established, he contin ued, that at least six of the jurors obtained and drank whisky. It was claimed that none of the jurors were affected by the drinks but to determine what effect whisky would have on each juror would be a hopeless task, and it was held that the unauthorized use of intoxicating liquors by the jury is such misconduct as will vitiate their verdict, and this on the ground of public policy. The discharge of George Hoerr, one of the officers in charge of the jury, was recom mended for procuring jurors whisky. Judge Slagle concurred in the opinion. THEY CANNOT WITHDRAW IT. A Voluntary Non-Suit, Once Entered, Mnst Hold ns Binding, Judge Slagle yesterday handed down an opinion refusing to take off the voluntary non suit in the case of the Riverside Glassworks against the Kittanning Insurance Company. Continuing, Jndge Slagle said: "A compulsory non-suit is a judgment of the Court and for a reasonable time within its control; but a voluntary non-suit is the action of the plaintiff himself, by which he takes him self out of court, and the defendant with him. The Court would have no power to compel the defendant to return without his consent or new process. The motion of the plaintiff must therefore be refused." This decision settles a much disputed point as to whether a voluntary non-suit could be stricken off and a case taken up again. Monday's Trial Lists.

Tho will was one wherein the property was left to the wife and child of tbe deceased, but a later will is presented, unsigned and undated, leav ing tbe estate to an only son.

Kjima Pekrt yesterday entered suit against. the Northside Bridge Company, owning the bridge crossing the Allegheny river at Seventh street, for $50,000 damages. The damages, she claims, was caused to her property by the building of the bridge. She owns the houses on Duquesne way between Eighth street and Mad dock's alley, and the grade of the street was raised so high, to build an approach to tbe bridge, that it has rendered her property al most inaccessible. To .remedy the matter she would have to raise tbe buildings up to grade, which would cost almost as much as they are worth, or else the buildings -would have to be torn down and rebuilt Josiah Barrett yesterday filed a bill In equity against the Duff Manufacturing Com pany, Limited, asking for a "decree dissolving the company ' and the appointment of a re ceiver.

When on the 8th of September, six months ago, we opened our new stores we resolved that whenever an article remained on our shelves six months unsold, it should be dubbed "a chestnut," and the price cut and cut until sold. This is the only way we know to avoid accumulating old stock, and have always new, fresh and desirable goods to show to our customers. On the 8th of March the six months were up and word was passed around to all the heads of departments of salesmen and sales women: "Bring forth the lambs for sajcrifice." No not the lambs, but the old sheep. Here are the sheep t be slaughtered: ALL PRICES QUOTED ARE FOR THIS WEEK ONLY Excelsior Diaries for 1889. r' .. .
