—During the flood of the Allegheny
river last Thursday and Friday, Herr's
island, near Pittsburgh, wasiuundatcd
and some five thousand dollars worth
of lumber belonging to the Bauer Bros.,
lately of this place, was carried away.
Families living on the island, and
among them the Bauers', had to flee
for their lives. In the rivers about
Pittsburgh and Allegheny several per
sons were drowned during the flood.
There was 28 feet of water in the chan
nel of the Allegheny at Pittsburgh
Thursday night.
—The lower part of Freeport was
flooded last Friday by the rise of the
Allegheny river, the water reaching to
the first story windows, in some cases.
The Journal of that place says that the
til! over the eddy was swept out, and
the bridge at the foot of Sixth street
totally wrecked. The loss of property
was very great, crops in the lowlands
destroyed, buildings swept away, and
the general devastation severe. Part
of the distillery was inundated and
work was suspended. The saw mill,
gas works, and oil refinery were also
under water.
Last Friday the final step necessa
ry to effect the consolidation of the nar
row gauge railroads wpsaccomplished.
Meetings of the stockholders of the dif
ferent roads were held in Parker, Alle
gheny and Pittsburgh, at which it was
agreed to consolidate the roads under
the name of the Pittsburgh and West
ern B. B. It is stated that the roads
will be changed to the standard gauge,
a third rail being left for the narrow
gauge rolling stock, and also that the
road when completed is to be operated
iu connection with the proposed new
trunk line between New York and Chi
cago.
—lt is safer to be demonstrative in
some countries than in others. For in
stance, two or three thousand persons
had a gathering in the city ot New
York lately, made declamatory speech
es, and sent a vigorous protest to the
Russian Czar against the execution of
Hessy Helfinann, condemned for par
ticipation in the murder of his father.
The police were on hand to preserve
order, but nobody thought of interfer
ing with the meeting, and there was an
end of it. But a demonstration in be
half of the same object was attempted
in Marseilles, and the result was the
arrest of the chief participators, and
their sentence to from one to eight
months' imprisonment. Which show#
what a blessing it is to live not only
in a Republic, but in one free from
European complications and tyrannies.
—Mr. Charles H. Kuhne, of this
town has patented an apparatus for
regulating the supply of water to steam
boilers, by which the water is prevent
ed from falling too low and rising too
high in the boiler, thereby avoiding
the danger and damage incurred by an
excess or searcity of water. The in
vention consists in a chamber connect
ed with the boiler, and containing a
float that moves a steam cock, combin
ed with a feed water chamber, and a
steam cylinder containing a piston,
connected with the valve in the water
chamber in such a manner that the rise
and fall of the float permits or cuts off
the flow of water to the boiler as re
quired. It has been patented in the
United Stales, Canada, England,
France and Germany. Sheriff Hoff
man, Dr. Bredin and Mr Gaorge Bul
ger, of this place, are alto interested
in the patent.
—Mr. William Kennedy and his
guardian, Mr. John Belfour, were ar
rested and brought to town last Friday
on a charge of assault and battery, pre
ferred by Mr Lerting, of Adams town
ship. it appears that Mr. Belfour and
Mr. Kennedy entered, last Tuesday
evening, upon the premises in Adams
township, ou which Mr. Lerting and
his family are now residing, but to
which Wiu, Kennedy has a legal claim,
and attempted to take forcible posses
sion. This was resisted by Mr. Ler
ting, and in the light that followed Mr.
L. was knocked down and so badly in
jured that he has been confined to his
bed since. Esq. Jacob Hutchman went
to Mr. Lertiug'a house next morning
and heard his statement, and suppos
ing that Mr. L.'s life was in danger,
committed Messrs. Kennedy and Bel
four without bail. They were brought
to town, when one of our judges allow
ed them to be bailed in SSOO each. On
Saturday a telegram was received here
stating that Mr. Lertiug was dying
whereupon Judge McJunkin ordered
the defendants to be re-arrested, fixing
their bail at $1,500, which was given
in Court Monday morning. Mr. Ler
ting, we hear, is recovering.

S. S. Convention.
The fourth annual convention of the
Butler County S S. Union, was held
at Fairview, on last Tuesday aud
Wednesday. The first three sessions
of the convention were held in the Re
formed church, the other sessions in
the Presbyterian church of that place.
The convention assembled at 2 o'clock
on Tuesday and was opened with de
votional exercises led by Rev Alspach;
an address of welcome was then deliv
ered by Rev. A B. C. .McFarlaud,
and response by Rev. C. L. Streamer.
Though the inclement weather on
Tuesday hindered some of those who
were to open the topics from coming,
the session was interesting. The con
i vention assembled at 9 o'clock on
Wednesday morniug, and as those ap
pointed on the programme to open the
topics were all present but one, togeth
er with the fact that the topics for that
| session were all interesting ones to the
S. S. workers, it was probably the
most interesting session of the eoven
tion. At 2,o'clock the convention as
sembled in the Presbyterian church
and the session opened with a most
excellent nnthem by the choir, followed
by devotional exercises led by the'
chairman. The convention then pro
ceeded to the discussion of the subjects
for afternoou. The last session of the
convention met at 7:30 its discussions
were interspersed with a few anthems
bv the choir which were highly appre
ciated by the audience. At the close
of the session the chirman made a few
very pertinent remarks touching some
of the most important points discussed,
during the sessions of the convention.
At a business meeting held after the
regular session on Wednesday after
noon the following named persons
were elected as ollieers for the ensuing

—The Petrolia Record gives the
following account of the capture of L.
C. Dickey, now in jail, and who will
have a hearing on a writ of habeas
corpus to-morrow
The robbery occurred on Thursday.
The next day Mr. Gibson proceeded to
Parker and employed Policeman J. A.
Foster to work up the case. On the
Monday following he went to North
Washington and commenced investi
gations, which resulted in fastening
suspicion on a tramp who had been
seen in various localities in that vicin
ity on several days preceding the rob
bery. The day following the burglary
he was traced to Hilliards, from there
to Mercer, New Castle and back to
Hilliards, and from thence to Parker.
A close watch was kept on the trains
going north aid south but the identity,
of the man was not discovered until the
train reached Brady from which place
the conductor telegraphed back to Par
ker that a person answering the descrip
tion of the tramp was aboard. In
structions were telegraphed to the po
lice at Kittanning to arrest the man.
On arrival there he was arrested and
put into the lock-up from which he
managed to escape before eleven o'clock
in the morning, leaving in the hands of
the officers a package containing a re
volver, gum coat, etc. From this time
all trace of him was lost until the of
ficers received a letter from him dated
at Petrolia requesting them to send
package to his add rets and at the same
time threatening them with arrest and
prosecution for false imprisonment.
They telegraphed him here that the
package bad been expressed to him
and immediately came up. They in
structed the agent in the express office
here to return evasive answers in case
the man should call. When the indi
vidual came he did as requested, and
immediately notified the officers, who
arrested the supposed tramp in front
of Backus' hardware store. After
all, the man arrested was not the
one the officers were after. Still, sus
picion strongly points to him as cither
an accomplice in this or as the principal
in the commision of some other crime.
Suspicion as to the former is strength
ena by the fact that he had a revolver
of exactly the same make and pattern
as those kept by Gibson <fe Harper. The
nmn's name is L. C. Dickey, a black
smith, living at Fredericksburg, near
here. He was taken to Butler Thurs
day, after a hearing at Xorth Washing
ton before 'Squire Samuel Smith."
—An article in one of the June Re
mem written by Mr. J. M. Mason,
throws a good deal of light on the
question whether the State has the
to regulate railway charges. It
is one of the main argunieuts of the
railroad managers that the manage
ment of a railroad is a business, in no
way different from any other business;
that the question of charges should be
decided by the law of supply and de
mand, regulated by natural competi
tion ; and tbat,for the State to inter
fere with this natural method of regu
lating charges is as indefensible as
State interference with any other kind
of business would be. In other words,
it is urged that the State has no more
right to say at what price a bushel of
wheat shall be carried than to say at
what price it shall be sold
After showing that, merely as a cor
poration, a railway company differs in
no respect from any other corporttion,
Mr. Mason savs that in order to deter
mine the powers and immunities of a
railway we must ascertain the spe
ific rights conferred on it by legisla
tive charter. These rights are rights
of public property as distinguished
from rights of private property, and
arc two in number: the eminent do
main, or the power to take private prop
erty for public use without consent of
the owner, and the right to take toll.
It is this second right with which the
article is mainly concerned. The al
legation that a railway is purely a bus
iness, and its tharges to 1)0. regulated
by business principles, rests on the
assumption that the railway is private
property, and the charge made and
paid is a consideration for the use of
such private property by other persons.
But the legal view of the case, M. Ma
son urges, is that the railroad is a
highway, and as such public property,
iiud that the charge demanded and
paid is strictly and emphatically a toll.
If this latter view is sound law, it fol
lows as a matter of course that the
State in ay and should fix the in nji
mum of these tolls. But even in its
capacity of common carrier, Mr. Mason
holds that the railroad's charges are
subject to the State. The carrier, ac
cording to law, may name his own
price at his peril; if it is unreasonable
|he is liable for damages Whether it
| is unreasonable or not is a question for
judicial decision, but it is competent
I for the Legislature to pass a schedule
!of rates which will be obligatory on
i the courts as a rule of evidence.

F MPIjOYMENT FOR Ij API F.S The
(Jueen Cilv Suspender Company, of Cincinnati,
are now manufacturing and introducing their
new Stocking Supporters for Ladies and Chil
dren, and their unequalled fcikirt Suspenders for
Ladies. None shouhl be without them ; our
leading physicians recommend them, and are
loud in their praise. These goods are manufac
tured by ladies who have made the wants of the
ladies and children a study, and they ask us to
refer them to some reliable an energetic lady to
introduce them in this county, anil we certainly
I think that an earnest solicitation in every IM>UM>-
i hold would meet with a ready response, and
j that a determjned woman could make a hand
i some salary and have the exclusive agency for
| this county. We advise some lady who is in
j need of employment to send to the Company
i her naive and address, and mention this paper.
