Warren Borough School District. Suit
was brought to doterniine whether the
School Board can levy an occupation tax
for school purposes, and also per capita
tax under tho Act of 1807. The court de
cides that the third section of the Act of
1807 is constitutional, and that tlte act in
tended to do away with the occupation
tax for school purposes and substitute a
straight per capita tax and therefore that
the per capita tax Is valid and that no tax
upon the valuation of an occupation can
now be leviod for school purposes. War

tried to give, one of his entertainments

encouraged these entertainments should
be accorded a Just share of the blame.

WAS IT MURDER?
0. J. Wlddefleld Dies Under Circum
stances That Call For Investigation.
A drunken brawl that may culminate
in the trial of some one for murder took
place at Marienville on Sunday, tbe 18th
lost. It seems that four men were con
gregated at what Is known as" the rocks,"
on the outskirts of town, and were hav
ing a sort of jamboreo.when a row ensued
between them. The town constable was
made aware of what was going on, and
proceeding to the place, succeeded in ar
resting three of the men, the lourtb mak
ing good his escape. They were brought
before Justice C. If. Wilton, who fined
thorn to tbe amount of (25.00, which one
of the men paid, and that was supposed
to be the end of the trouble. The next
day one of the men, O. J. Widdofiold, by
name, became ill and showed symptoms
ofabborratiou of tho mind. He lingered
in this condition until last Sunday when
he died, Jusi one week from the time the
melee took place. The circemstances of
his death were of such a peculiar nature
that it was deemed prudent to bold au in
quest. Accordingly 'Squire Wilton em
paneled a jury, aud the Investigation de
veloped the fact that the man came to his
death as the result of violence of some
nature. Yesterday Coroner Dr. J. W.
Morrow was summoned, and assisted by
Drs. Yingling and Beck, of Marienville,
an autopsy was held, and the physicians
discovered a bad fracture of the skull at
the base of tbe brain back of the left ear,
the injury being sufficient to cause death.
In the meantime the man's father, C.
A. Widdelield, a highly respected cisizen
of Russell, Warren county, was notified,
and arrived on Monday. He took the
body of bis son home yesterday for bur
id. The dead man was aged 45 years
and was single. The father has employed
counsel and will probe the affair to tho
bottom. Only one witness who seemed
to know much about the case was before
the inquest, and be was unable to say
whether the man bad been hit, or had
fallen and sustained tbe injury that re
sulted in his death. The autopsy devel
oped no other evidences of violence about
tbe body.
Mrs. Lydiit Iioraid Dead.
Our townsman, G. W. Bovard, was
called to Mercer last week to attend the
funeral of bis aged mother, of whose
death, on the 21st inst., the Mercer Dis
patch says :
Mrs. Lydia Bovard, aged 93 years, died
Wednesday morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Jane Drennan, East But
ler 'street, of the infirmities of old age.
About two monthe ago she came to Mer
cer to visit her daughter and until three
weeks ago enjoyed good health. Then
she was suddenly stricken and on ac
count of her advanced age grew rapidly
worse until the end came. She was one
of the oldest residents of Butler couuty,
and probably the oldest resident living
who was born in the county. She was
born October 10, 1810, in Slippery Rock
township, and speut her entire life in
that locality. In 1833 she married John
ston Bovard, a prominent farmer of the
same township, who died several years
ago. She was the mother of six children,
all of whom are living, Tiiey are : Jon
athan, J, C. and W. H., all well kuown
Butler cjunty farmers; O. W., of Tio
nesta; E. D., of Scranton, and Mrs. Jane
Drennan, of this place. Nineteen grand
children and twelve great-grandchildren
are also living. On account of. her long
residence Mrs. Bovard was one of the
best known women in Butler county.
She was a woman of lovable disposition
and always took a great interest in
tbe welfare of her neighbors and in pub
lic affairs. By her many kird acts she
won a host of friends by whom her death
is deeply regretted. In spito of her age
she was an extremely active woman un
til last July, when she was stricken with
blindness. Since tuen she has been
practically helpless. When quite young
she joined Bethel U. P. church and until
prevented by her infirmities was a regu
lar attendant at all church services. Ser
vices were held at the Drennan home at
7 o'clock last evening and the body will
be ta'f en to-day to Harmony, where the
funeral will lake place from the United
Presbyterian church.
L
The Rig Quo Caught at Last.
Fisherman John Bush lifted out the
finest one of the season, last Thursday
evening, at the river bridge, of which the
Oil City Dorrick has the following de
scription :
"The fish that got away" has been final
ly captured. In weight, dimension, size
and symmetry it falls a little short ot the
glowing descriptions that have been giv
en of it by almost every angler who has
fished in the Allegheny river for the past
10 years. It has been described as a wall
eyed pike, bass, brook trout or some oth
or variety of game fish, but thore is no
doubt but this is the fish that all the fish
ermen who lost it have been endeavoring
to describe. This assertion is based on
tho fact that nothing so big as this fish
has been caught in the Allegheny river
for many a year and when it was brought
to town lust evening by John Fan ell,
tbe news store man, it was instantly rec
ognized from the general description.
Mr. Farrell was not fishing when lie gut
the fish. He was selling talking ma
chines at Tionesta. The man who was
doing the fishing was John Bush. He
fished with such skill that lie hooked and
lauded the fish and thought so little of
his performance that he parted with the
big fish for a monetary consideration.
Mr. Farrell exhibited tbe fish to the noted
piscatorial expert, James 11. Connors, of
the Hotel Connors here, who decided
that tbe fish deserved a better fate than
to grace the festal board and concluded
some negotiations with Mr. Farrell by
which he obtained permanent possession.
The fish will be seut to a taxidermist in
New York, where it will be properly
mounted, aud in days to come wiil be
pointed out as a permanent example of
the possibilities of the Allegheny rivor as
a fishing resort. Tbe fish is a uiuscal
longe, weighing closely to 20 pounds, and
measures 42 inches in length and ti inches
around the thickest part."
The Derrick further says that when tho
big fish was disemboweled a salmon 11
inches long was found iu it's stomach. If
tlieae big fellows have a fiabit ol feeding
on 14-inch salmon, tbe sooner they are
taken out of the river the bettor. Four-luen-incli
salmon are good enough for
this rnau's table.

Hot Cricket Match.
Last Saturday the north and south
ward residents engaged in a cricket con
test, the game being one of a series of
three to decide the question of skill be
tween the two sections of the town. Elab
orate preparations were made for the con
tost, the oflicial umpires being Mr. A, B.
Kelly and S. I). Irwin Esq. Nearly ev
ery profession was represented on tbe
twe teams bankers, lawyers, editors,
painters, druggists, doctors, sculptors,
and the gentlemen of leisure, politicians.
It was generally conceded before the
match began that victory would go south
for cold weather, but it decided to siay
north, and the men from the lower end of
town now realize that
The best laid plans of mice and men
Alt gang aglee.
Nothing can explain the result of the
game but the streak of ill luck and chap
ter of accidents that attended the etfrts
of the soulhsiders. If they tried to
make a run they fell and got "stumped"
out. If they tried to bit the ball they
missed it and were "bowled" out, and
when they did swipe the ball they were
caught out. In the lace of this kind of
ill luck they could not be expected to
win and hence their defeat was accepted
as a matter of fact.
The return match will be played and
the result will no doubt be a victory for
the south ward. Tbe final scoie of tbe
match was 07 to 50 in favor of the north
ward, a difference of 8 runs, which in a
cricket match is hardly worth mention
ing. .Hamburg.
