The Juvenile will now be in wild excitement;
also, his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts,
and in perfectly logical sequence, his uncles
aud other male relatives to know that the
Grand Circus, Royal English Menagerie aud
Astley's Museum, comprising a colossal Double
Circus, to Leviathan Menageries, famous Mu
seum Aquarium aud colisthenic Exhibition,
etc. The entire show, in all its undivided
vastuess, for the usual price of admission, is to
exhibit at Butler the 20th. This grand consol
idation of the two Monster Shows, comes to us
well recommended by the press, wherever it
has pitched its 168,000 square yards of canvass.
Of it the Frankfort JVeica says: "One of the
chief attractions in riding in the Grand Circus
of Miss Mollie Brown. This lady differs, in her
general display of horsemanship, from all
others who have preceded her iu the American
arena. She owes her unprecedented success
mostly to the wonderful balance and muscnlar
power she possesses, which enable her to assume
almost impossible altitudes and changes of
position, upon her naked horse, during her
lightning-like flight around the arena. All
her movements are marvels of grace and dex
terity, animated pictures of elegant intrepidity,
♦ HT'UIUK dashes of snpereminent art, eelf-Qcn*
{r'v>r ami idaobiitabl<f uervtf, such as no other
equestrian, either male or female, ever accom
plished before her. Her specially wonderful
achievment of throwing somersaults from the
back of her naked horse, while in full motion,
together with her rapid and reckless style of
backward riding, in all the principal cities of
the new and old worlds, have caused presidents,
senators, and the public, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, to mingle their shouts of applause
and wild huzzas of delighted approval. What
ever claims others of the profession may make
concerning their skill in the bareback eques
trianism, certain it is that no lady has ever ac
complishes tlrp feats orwjualed the darihg of
this—"America's own peerless representative"
—Miss Mollie Brown.

point if the case had been tried anywhere else_
But Washington juries arc proverbially un
certain when raeu of means and influence are
on trial.

—A recent exposure of the weakness of our
procedure in divorce cases has aroused the
judges of the courts of common pleas to adopt
stricter rules to govern such cases. Hereto
fore, the examiners have been little more than
reporters, who collect a body of unsifted evi"
dence which is too often misleading as to the
merits of the ease. It is proposed to make the
examiners more res|>onsihle in this matter, re
quiring them to subject all testimony to the
closest scrutiny, and to exact a greater public
ity as to the notices given of proceedings.
This is as we should have expected from our
judges. The Pennsylvania bench has an hon- j
orable record as the guardian of public morals
and it would degenerate sadly from the exam
ple set by our great jurists, if it allowed the
State to become the resort of those who desired
private or collusive divorces.— The American•
—At the meeting of the Town Council, of
Butler, last Wednesday evening, it was moved
and seconded "that as the Butler Water Com
pany has failed to sign agreement as required
by council that we reconsider the resolution
agreeing to pay S6OO per year for the time past
and S7OO for the future." This and a motion
withdrawing all propositions for contract with
said Water Company were agreed to, and the
case will go to court. At the meeting of the
council on Thursday morning, "representatives
of the P. & W. Railroad proposed to make a
uniform grade at the north end of the railroad
bridge over Eookout Avenue, to straighten the
till on the east side and north of the railroad,
so as to make it of the uniform width of the
bridge over the railroad, to erect and maintain
sufficient fences on each side of the tills and
put up hub boards at each side of the bridge, to
widen the fills on both sides of the track on the
north side of the Kittanning bridge, to construct
fences there and maintain the same on both
sides of the Gil, all to be completed in .TO days,
in settlement ofthe disputes between the bor
ough and the Railroad Company. These prop
ositions were agreed to by the council.

SPEEDY VENGEANCE.
The Barber Brothers Lynched by
an Infuriated Mob.
I»ES MOINES, lowa, .luue 9, 1883.
The notorous Barber Brothers were
taken from the Waverly jail last night
about a quarter to twelve o'clock by a
large of tren and led to a grave a short
distance away and lynched. The mob
which beseiged the jail numbered about
two hundred. They lirst appeard at
the jail abo.it nine o'clock and were
preceeded by a man carrying a rope,
who demanded tho surrender of the
bandits. The lynchers, led by a
brother of Deputy Sheriff Shepherd,
whose brother was killed by the Bar
ber brothers at West Union last fall,
then summarily demanded the keys.
The Sheriff refused to deliver them,
and a moment later the jail was attack
ed.
DRAGGED OUT TO DIE.
The officers did all they could to re
sist without resorting to violence, but
the mob was persistent. The crowd
gained admission to the Court House
and finally battered down the jail door
with sledges, crowbars and others
weapons. After an hour's desperate
effort the mob was victorious. A rush
was made and the outlaws were quick
ly secured. Ike Barber resisted
peratHy, fighting hard with his fists,
but was soon overcome by some of the
very men who captured him on Crane
Creek lust Tuesday. Kicks and cuffs
were freely bestowed upon the murder
ers as they were dragged forth from
the cells through the Court House to
the square and to the front steps of the
enclosure with ropes around their
necks. They were escorted by the
mob, uttering fiendish yells which
aroused the whole town aud brought
out all the residents in the neighbor
hood. When they reached the enclo
sure they were asked What they had to
say for themselves.
IIANCiEI) IN A GROVE.
Ike made a few remarks, in effect
that they had killed only two men—
Shepherd, Fayette county, last fall,
and Karating last week, during an at-'
tempt at capture. Bill said he never
killed any one, unless it was in the
affray on Crane Creek. Bill then gave
a silk handkerchief and a gold pen to a
bystander to send to his little girl, and
hoped they would hang him dead and
not allow the people to cut up his body.
Ike also said, in answer to an inquiry
as to what should be done with his
body, "Bury it and don't cause
my family expense in provid
ing a funeral." Just before
Ike made his speech he asked for a
chew of tobacco. The crowd then
moved to Murphy's Grove, nearly half
a mile southeast of the jail, when the
doomed men were to die. The ropes
were scarcely adjusted and Ike and
William were deliberately launched in
to eternity. The victims died of
strangulation. Their hands were tied
behind them, and a citizen held a
watch and noted the time elapsing un
til their pulse stopped beating. The
crowd then dispersed to their hemes
and the bodies of the Barbers were left
swinging in the grove. l\'o effort was
made on the part of the citizens to con
ceal their identity. The universal idea
with the people seemed to be that they
were executing righteous judgment
There were many present from a radius
of forty miles, including most of the
male inhabitants of the town of Waver
ly, and those who are prominent in
church, city, county aud State affairs ;
the relativss, friends and neighbors of
the murdered Shepherd and Karsting,
the wounded Jarvis and Tegtmeier, as
well as those who had no personal in
terest except to see that speedy
vengeance was inflicted upon the
murderers. The prevailing aentiuient
is that an outraged community has
been avenged and that a terrible warn
ing has been given to evil doers to
avoid that locality. Tbe scene was
terrible in its impressiveness, and will
never be forgotten by those who par
ticipated in or witnessed it.
