—The Philadelphia Timet, in speaking of
the Ancient Order of United Workmen, says:
"It is the greatest beneficial organization in
the country to-day. It has been in existence
less than twenty years, but it has a member
ship of 190,<)00, and has paid $15,785,000 to
the widows and orphans of its deceased mem
bers." There is a lodge of the order in this
fdace in successful operat : on.

—Some members of the old bane bill club
of this town have re-rented the Stehle mead
ow, at west end of JfifHin street, for use this
«ammer. This Is a good location, but it is a
little too far from the centra of the town.
The best location in Butler, or in the county,
for a Fair Grounds, Ball Grounds, or for out
doer sports generally, is the flat included in
the Klingler aud Mitchell meadows, between
jMiffliit and I'enn streets, and as the town is
rapidly extending in that direction, the loca
tion S'IOUM be secured and reserved for these
purposes as soou as possible. The idea of a
joint stock company—each borough and

Eccentric Preaching.
SYRACUSE, N, Y , May c.—The
little village of Lafayette, in this
'county, is greatly agitated over the
case of Rev, (leo. 10. MrAnjle, of the
First Presbyterian Church. The
Presbytery of Syracuse has just had
him examined on charges of falsehood,
misrepresentation and forging a let
ter. It was found that be hud been
telling tall stories about his oatatir in
Chicago and elsewhere, but the
charges were not fully sustained
"The church is divided over him,

his departure.

BURGLAKSUPIN FOREST CO.
A. Desperate and Fatal AiTray in
Which Young Wagner Killed
Ono of the Ruffians and Shot
Another.
CLARION, May G —The storv of
the attempted burglary and killirg of
oue man aiid wounding another, as
partly described in the Pittsburg JJlS
patch this morning, challenges ro
mance as the particulars come out,
the actors being well-known charac
ters in this section of the State. A
corrected version is as follows: On
Tuesday eveniug last lour men ap
proached the residence of Jacob Wag
ner iu Forest county, just over the
Clarion county line. They found
Mrs. V.'agutr going to the spring
house. Oue of the number covered
her with his revolver, telling her to
keep quiet. The other three kicked
in the door of the dwelling and at
tempted to subdue the old man Wag
ner and his two sons. A desperate
battle ensued, in which clubs, chairs
and finally firearms were used. The
Wagners were knocked down fre
quently, but kept tip the fight. At
last the burglars drew their revolvers
and began firing. One of the Wagner
boys was wounded and ran up stairs
for a gun. As he did this he was
fired at again but missed, \oung
Wagner got the riHe and the burglars
ran out of the house, the Wagners fol
lowing to the veranda, where the
youngster fired at one of the burglars
who fell dead. Another one was
wounded,but the three made their es
cape, leaving their (lead comrade.
The interior of the house shows a
desperate struggle, there being scarce
ly a whole piece of furniture in it—
uad 11 builet holes mark the walls.
The dead burglar's face was photo
graphed and copies sent over the
country—one came to Edenburg, this
county, and was recognized by Laue
McCleary, Jr., a? his son Will, who
wan but 18 years of age, and left
home a week ago, Ooteiioibly to hunt
work. The father aud a friend start
ed to day for the corpse. The other
three burglars laid in the woods until
Wednesday evening, when one of
their number, Sam Shell, came to
Turkey City, where McCleary's par
ents live, and another, Tom Hugertv,
came to EdeuLurg for a rig to con
vey their wouuded comrade, who
proved to be Shell Wilson, to the
railroad station at Elk City. IJagerty
aud Wilson have been captured.
When Ilagerty retu.ned with a ve
hicle for Wilson be was suspected
and followed. He caine near to the
Wagner settlement, turned into the
woods near a ravine and then whist
led. The signal was answered and Lo
soon had Wilson in the buggy. They
were followed and llagartv was ar
rested when he returned the buggy to
Edenburg, and Wilson was taken
from the traio there also. lie was
suffering from a bail in his hip aud
evidently had abandoned the buggy
because he could not stand the jolt
ing.
AN EXPERIENCED CONVICT.
Sheli Wilson eor?cd one term In
the penitentiary from this county and
one from Hutler county for burglary.
Last tall he was under indictment at
Liverpool, 0., but escaped conviction
He is the "artist" of tbe gang which
is supposed to have committed the
burglary of John Sherry's house, near
Edenburg, of so,oou, and of Klias
Ritt'a house, at St Petersburg, in
which $1,200 was taken. Wilson
and Ilagerty both have respectable
parents living near Cnllensburg.
Sam Shell was released from jail two
months ajjo. The are
the terrors of their neighborhood aud
have been in tho meshes of the law
frequently, and mere frequently sus
pected of crimes that could not be
proven. Their latest exploit was the
recent disturbance of a religious meet
ing at Turkey City, and for which
offense Pittsburg detectives came to
arrest them but failed.
Wilson and Hagerty have been
taken to Forest county jail, and one
other man, yet uukuowu, but prob
ably a familiarly-known "crook," is
still ut large. Shell was captured
last night and tho other unknown
man proves to bo Scott McCleary,
and he was captured this morning.
He is a brother of the killed burglar.
