—By reference to the Court House
Notes'it will be seen that one citizen
of the county has brought suit against
another who, he claims, accused him
of having "sworn his soul to hell" at
the trial of a case at the last term of
the Quarter Sessions Court of this
county. And now, we would ask,
how is the truth or falsity of such an
allegation as this going to be deci
ded bv a jury of twelve honest citi
zens?" Where, in all this broad land,
is there a man, who cau get his eye or
ear close enough to tbe keyhole of the
infernal regions, to determine whether
or not the soul of youtfg Nick has or
has not already been assigned a place
in the abode of Old Nick ?

—Poor, simple minded Jimmy
Creighton has been getting himself
into trouble. Jimmy got drunk last
Thursday evening—"full as a goose*'
as the boys say, and some time after
one o'clock that night made up his
mind to visit his sister, a Mrs. Taylor,
of Slipperyrock township, lie started
on foot, but when he got up to the
Michael place, a mile or so north of
town, he concluded to ride, and so bor
rowed Gus. Michael's big bay mare,
lie then rode on to John N McCan
dless' place, in Centre township, where
he borrowed McCandless' harness and
a sleigh in the yard belonging to Leon
ard Shannon and with these drove to
Mr. Taylor's residence in Slippnryrork
township, arriving there at about 7
o'clock He was yet under the influ
ence of liquor and told Mr. Taylor
that he had stolen the horse and rig,
and told where he had got them, and
after Mr. T. had got Jimmy to sleep,
and fed the horse, he hitched it up
and started towards Butler to deliver
the stolen things to their owners, but
was met near bis bouse by Mr Mich
ael, wbo cmptured the horse. Mr.
Michael and Mr. Shannon then came
to Butler and made information against
both Jimmy and Mr. Taylor. They
had a hearing and Mr Taylor was dis
charged, but Jimmy now hoards with
the Sheriff. Jimmy has been drinking
too much of late and this is what has
i come of it.

ever built, the second story of it should
be one large room, suitable for these
meeting.--and all other public meetings.

THE BERG AND ARMOR CASE.
The only ease tried at tlie late term of the
Quarter Sessions Court that was not finished in
tiuie to be reported in our hist Issue was that of
the Commonwealth vs. Julius Berg aud Chas.
Armor, accused by J. X. Miller, the hotel
keeper of Evansburg, of robbing him ot $2,000
or thereabouts, which amount, he claims, was
taken from a drawer of his bedroom wardrobe,
between the hours of ten aud one o'clock of the
29thof June last No immediaie arrests and
searches were made; but several diys after the
alleged robbery, Miller made information
against Berg aiid Armor, two painters doing
business as Berg & Co., in Zelieiiople, who on
the 20th of June were painting at the house of
Edward Dambach in Evansburg and who that
day had taken dinner at the Miller Hotel. Ar
mor demanded a hearing and was discharged;
Berg had no hearing and was held for Court,
but the indictment against him was ignored by
the Grand Jury. After this Miller probably
feared a counter suit for malicious prosecutiou,
and—according to the evidence of liobt Lefe
vere, of Zelienople, at the trial ; f the case— en
tered into a written contract with Lefevere. by
which Lefevere was to get the one-half of al!
that was recovered from Berg and Armor if he
eonvictedfthem. This contract, also according
to Lefevere's evidence, was written and witness
ed by Ed. Dambach and signed by himself and
Miller. John W eigle.also of Zelienople,was em
ployed as a detective. He would not acknowl
edge, when on the witness-stand, to any written
contract between himself and Miller but said
he was to get what was "just aud right." These
men with the assistance of Jn'i. Gloss, a son-in
law of Lefevere, and Xick Garmen a personal
enemy of Berg, soon had their stories ready.
Lefevere had gone to I!erg when lie ( Berg) was
under the influence of liquor and bv telling a
pitiable story of poverty and the Sherift' after
him, had induced Berg to lend him $lO0 —two
fifty dollar notes that Armor had borrowed to
pay a firm debt. These notes were taken to
Miller, and Mrs. Miller pretended to identity
one of them by numbers on it. These and a
stolen pistol formed the basis of a terrible story.
Berg and Armor were again arrested t had a
hearing and were held for Court. A true bill
was found against them and the case put on
the trial list. The case was taken up on
Thursday afternoon the 21st, ult.,
and was not finished until the next
Tuesday evening whea the jury returned a
yerdict of not guilty. It was an extraordi
nary case iu some respects—viz: the time occu
pied in its trial, the character of the evidence
and the array of counsel for the prosecution.
We have never before known of three atior
nies, two of whom are considered among the
ablest at the Butler bar, being employed to
assist the District Attorney in the prosecu
tion of a charge of larceny. The evidence in
the case was too long to be reviewed—about
twenty witnesses having been called on each
side. ' The evidence i'->r the defence was com
plete and satisfactory, and long before it was
completed the table "used by the prosecution
was deserted by all except the senior counsel
—even the classic face of Fd-ly Dam bach had
disappeared from it. It looked as though
they were shamed out of Court. The prose
cution or as deemed by many, the persecu
tion of these two men bv Miller must have
cost him more than he claims to have lost.
Thompson and Mct.'andiess don't "practice
law for fun," Bob. Lefevere is known to
have had rolls of big bills in his possession
previous to the trial—an unusual financial
condition for him and John Weigel, of course,
got what was "just and right."
These expenses and his hotel and livery bills
aggregated a larije amount. The animus of
the prosecution is as yet unknown to the de
fendants but (hat there was a nigger in the
woodpile of the case somewhere, many who
heard it have no doubt. The character
of the defendants for honesty and integrity
I was attested to by many of the best people
ol Zelien<>p!e. The defendants were ably
represent'd in Court by Messrs Bowser, Mc-
Quistion and Forquer,

Tlie Kelly Suieide.
The New Castle News gives the fol
| lowing particulars of suicide of
j Thomas I Kelty, of Slipperjrock twp ,
| Lawrence county, on the 15th ult.:
"After examining several witnesses,
amoDg whom were the wife and two
children of the deceased, the jurv ren
dered the following verdict:
"We, the jury on the coroner's in
quest held on the body of Thomas I.
Kelty, find, after hearing the evidence,
that be came to his death by a pistol
shot discharged by his own band, while
in a state of mental depression."
| The deceased was about thirty-five
j years old. a man of very good standing
in the community in which he lived
and has only been married to his pres
ent wife about three months, having
had three children by his first wife.
Mr. Kelty was one of the last men in
the neighborhood who would have
been expected to take his own life, but
the testimony at the inquest developed
the following:
About half past six o'clock this morn
ing, 15th ult, Mr. Kelty said to his
wife that it was morning and that he
would get up. He left the bedroom,
passing through the kitchen into the
front room, where he stirred up the fire
in the grate. This was the last Mrs.
Kelty heard of him (having fallen
asleep) until she heard him falling;
but supposing it was only a chair he
had knocked over, dii not get up im
mediately. To imagine her feelings
on coming into the room some little
time after to behold her husband laying
on the floor reeking in his own blood
would be impossible, and to express
them in words would be a still more
feeble attempt She immediately sent
the little boy to the nearest neighbors,
and before life was extinct Mrs. Wm.
Taylor and Ex-Sheriff McConnell were
there.
The act was committed witb a thirty
two calibre revolver. The ball entered
just a little back of the temple and went
crushing through the brain, lie died
about eight o'clock, without having ut
tered a word or shown signs of con
sciousness.
It appears that for some time his
health has not been very good, and at
times to have effected his mind. Some
time ago he told his sister, Mrs. Hosea
Kennedy, that he was afraid he would
lose his mind and was afraid he might
kill saving, 'God knows I do
not wish to do such a thing, and if I
ever do, remember my wife is not to
blame." About three weeks ago he
went to Dr. 11. Wilson, of Portersville,
for treatment. The doctor gave him
some medicine and told him to call
again in four days, but instead of doing
so he went to New Castle, where some
one advised him to consult a Pitts
burgh physician, which he did. When
he returned he told one of his friends
he was sorry be ever went, as tie
doctor had told him that his case was
not curable. Since then he has at
times been very melancoly, and more
than likely while under the influence of
such a spell committed the act.

There are now niae producing
wells in the Bald Ridge oil district
and seven wells drilling, making six
teen wells in all.
Of these about an equal number
are on each side of the Connoque
nessing creek. Of the ones drilling
four are expected in now any day,
and if they are as good as is confi
dently expected business will be much
increased.
The t nine producing wells yield
daily about three hundred barrels of
oil. The operators and owners of
these wells are, the Butler or Bald
Ridge Company, Phillips Bros., For
est Oil Company, Schiedemantle and
Smick.

While the name of Bald Ridge is
given to the new field, and while the
station there on the railroad has the
same name, and also the postoffice just
established, yet the town that has
sprung up continues to bear the name
of Renfrew, alter the name of the own
er of the ground upon which it is built.
It has now six stores, well filled with
groceries, flour, feed, notions of various
kinda, tobacco, etc. The grocery of
Mr. John Glass, formerly of Millers
town, is the oldest aDd is well supplied
with everything in that line and is ao
iner a good business. Mr. Koonce, the
new postmaster, also has a store con
nected with his office. Mr. Ireland, of
Petrolia, has a branch of his oil tool
works there, a necessary thing, and is
kept busy, the firm being known as
Ireland & Hughes. There is also a
hardware store owned by Mr. J. E.
Coulter Sons; also a blacksmith
shop, meat shop, barber shop, etc.
Mr. John A. Richey, formerly of this
place and late of Karns City, keeps the
hotel or stopping place near the station,
and has a well regulated house, at
which a good meal can be obtained.
He is doing a fair business and is well
liked as a host.
Mr. Simeon Nixon on the other, or
south side of the creek, still keeps a
house of entertainment which is always
well patronized.
Taking Renfrew city, altogether,
matters and things generally look pros
pering in it and if the wells drilling
turn out anything near as good as is
looked for, it will yet be quite a lively
place. With the ones now producing
a good start has been given to the
growth of Renfrew and all appear
ances promise better for its feature.
lloucst ami Liberal.
When the Hops in each bottle of
Hop Bitters (at the present price, $1.25
per 1b.,) cost more than a bottle is sold
for, besides the other costly medicines,
and the quality and the price are kept
the same, we think it is honest and
liberal in the proprietors, and no one
should complain, or buy or use worth
less stuff, or cheating bogus imitations
because the price is less.
lliglieMl I'rize Port Wine.
The best wine in the country, that
took the higest premium at the Cen
tennial, is Speer's Port Grape Wine,
wbich has become the most celebrated
product of New Jersey. This wine and
his P. J Brandy are now being used
by physicians everywhere, who rely
upon them as being the purest to be
had. It is unsurpassed for weakly
females, and old people. Used by the
