ion Telegraph Co., and Pittsburg Telephone

ested in knowing that two deaths from swal

—Doctors must register in every county
they practice in. Dr. John Ege, of Beading,
has just received the information that the
case brought against him by the Medical
Society of Lebanon county, from which he
appealed, has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court. Dr. Ege, while a resident of Bead
ing, and registered there, attended patients
in Lebanon, for which he was arrested, not
having registered in that county. The Leb
anon Comity Court decided that he mu3t
pay the S2OO for practicing in that couuty
and not registering there. This the Supreme
Court affirmed. The decision means that
physicians must register in every couuty in
which they practice. Dr. Ege has since regis
tered in Lebauon. The prosecutor gets half the
fine.
—Judge J. F. Stewart, of Paintsville, Ken
tuckey, who presided at the silver weding of
his brother, A. G. Stewart, of Connoquenes
sing township, is one of the most successful
Butler county men that we ever heard of.
When a boy he wai troubled with in tlamma
tory rheumatism and sought a milder climate
in 1856 by emigrating to Kentucky. He lo
cated in Johnson county, r.iisal a .company
at the beginning of the war and fought -on
the Union side, of course—for four years as
its captain, was elected to the State legisla
ture after the war, served a term as Law
Judge of his district, and is now a U. S. Dis
trict Attorney, and counsel for a strong rail
roed company. The well worded accouut of
the silver wedding that we published last
week was written by Mr. E. J. McJuukin.
—From the society items of the Sun/lay
Lradrr we take the following: Out in Butler
a pretty church wedding brought together a
number of the friends of the bride and groom
on Tuesday morning. Sharp on the stroke of
six the bridal party en'ered and made its
way to the altar, where the solemn ritual of
the Catholic church was conducted by Rev.
Father Nolan, he finally pronouncing Mr.
James Cain, of the Butler Glass company,
formerly of Starpsburg, and Miss Minnie
Rbeinlander, of Butler, one. The bride
looked very sweet in an exquisite dress of
pink satin veiled in white lace. A wedding
breakfast, at which none but immediate rela
tives were present, followed closely 011 the
Qeremony. The presents were beautiful' in
cluding an immense collection of silverware.
Mr. and Mrs. Caiu will reside in Butler,
They have postponed their wedding trip un
til July, when they will travel for a couple
of month*.
The Democrat Convention.
The Democratic Return Judges
mot in the o,>era House last Monday
and oririnizi il by electins Jacob
Zeigicr President; deo. R. White, C'.
M. Heineman and Xicol Allen, Sec
retaries; and James H. Tebay, Geo.
Marburger and J. McKee, a commit
tee to tabulate and count the vote.
The returns were handed in to
the President, who read them
aloud and then turned them over to
the committee. All the returns ex
cepting that of Washington N., were
on hand, and the committee was in
structed to count it in when it came.
A Committee on Resolutions con
sisting of Geo 11. Graham, R. L
Black, Ed. Donahue, Samuel Beers
and G. D. Swain was appointed by
the chair. These gentlemen retired
and soon after came in with a string
of resolutions re-alfirmiDg the princi
ples of the Chicago platform, endors
ing Cleveland as President, and John
G. Carlisle as Speaker of the House,
denouncing the Republican party and
the Republican Legislature, praising
the Judges of the Judicial district
and denouncing the Republican con
vention and press for reflecting upon
them, denouncing gambling in
the necessaries of life, endorsing the
candidates nominated, aud nominat
ing Judge McMichael for Supremo
Judge.
The resolutions were read and all
of them were satisfactory to the entire
convention excepting the 6th which
reads as follows:
6th, That the people of this Judi
cial district have reason for congratu
lation that the important office of
Judge is held by men whose private
characters aud judicial honesty aud
integrity are above reproach, and it
is a pleasure to know that their judi
cial actions can neither be shaped nor
controlled by whispered instructions
or public demonstrations, aud that
we deplore the action of the Republi
can party, through its convention and
press, in unjustly reflecting upon the
judicial action of our Courts.
And a motion to strike out all of
the resolution after the word "re
proach" started a discussion that last
ed over an hour. Mr. Black of Uar
risville, Geo. White and C. M. Ileine
man of Butler and others were in fa
vor of striking out that part of the
resolution, os a matter of policy, etc.,
but Geo. 11. Graham and other gen
tlemen whose names we do not know
were in favor of letting it remain,
and of standing on true Democratic
principles, showing their colors, etc ,
and they finally carried the day, aud
the objectionable words remained as
a part of the resolution.
They are simply a bid for the
whiskey vote.
W. H. Martin, Jacob Ziegler, Geo.
Graham, Jas. McMichael, G. D.
Swain and Jos. Yanderlin were nom
inated for Delegates to the State Con
vention, which meets at Allentown
in August. Graham and McMichael
withdrew and the other four were
elected by acclamation.
Frank M. Eastman and John M.
Roth, Esqrs., were nominated for
Chairman. Eastman received 24
votes and Roth 19, and then Roth
was elected a member of the State
Committee by acclamation.
The tellers the announced the vote
as follows:
For Sheriff—A, P. Stewart, 1144;
Thos, Donaghy, 920; F. C. Buhl,
419; D M. Ward, 87.

For Popular Vote—ls36; against
popular vote, 548.
Jos. Timmony for Clerk, J. W.
Brown for Prothonotary, and G. F.
Easly for Treasurer had no opposition
whatever and of course were nomin
ated, and Jacob Keck of Butler for
Register and Recorder virtually had
none, and was also nominated.
A Horrible Death.
A month or so ago Mr. Elmer
Dobson, of Clay twp„ traded horses
with his cousin, Howard Pryor, a
liyeryman of Sunbury. The horse
he secured was supposed to be suffer
ing from distemper and Elmer treated
him for that, but when he ascertain
ed he had the glanders he returned
him. Elmer bad a slight scratch or
wound on his right hand, which two
week 3 ago, became inflamed and
swollen, and he became so sick that
he had to take to his bed. A physi
cian was sent for, who at first sup
posed that the young man was tak
ing a fever, as he had all the first
symtoms of typhoid, but after a few
days he became convinced that the
horse's disease had been communica
ted to Elmer and pervaded his
whole system.
Large, hard lumps appeared all
over his body,his eyes became inflam
ed, his muscles would contact like
those of a person suffering from in
flammatory rheumatism, his suffer
ing was intense and on Tuesday last
he died as horrible a death as one
could imagine.
Ho was a fine young man, but 21
years of age, and was the sole sup
port of his mother and aged grand
mother.
The horse is said to be yet alive
and if all the facts are as stated to us,
it might be well for the people of that
vicinity to investigate the matter.
There is a law regarding pleura
pneumonia in cattle, but none regard
ing glanders in horses,which is by far
the most dangerous disease.
Bold Burglars.
FREEFOKT, PA., June 12—Rob
bers entered the residence of H. Lo
gan Weaver last night and robbed
him of over SIOO of money and valu
ables. They crept, into hia bedroom
while he was asleep, took his pants
and vest which contained STO in
money and his watch and chain. His
pants and vest were found in Mr.
Sypbax's yard. The keys to his
store and safe were found one equare
above on the pavement. They took
milk and edibles and ate a midnight
lunch in his back yard and left. Mr.
Weaver says they can have all the
money if they will only leave his
watch where he can get it, as it was
a keepsake that money could not buy.
His name is engraved on the watch
in two places and can easily be identi
fied. There are some good clues
which, if followed up, will bring the
parties to justice ere long.

and the lightning followed the line
from the tree to the house, where it
entered at a pantry window, which
was raised about two inches. It left
no trace around the window, but tore
the door of a cupboard which stood
near by, to splinters, and moved the
whole cupboard about two inches
from the wall. Some of the knives
in the cupboard were melted, and
here it seems to have lost its force, as
no further damage was done and its
exit could not be traced.

had bulled the market upon the pros
pects of a short crop for 188G-7. The
crop for 1885-6 was 5,505,000 bag 3,
and when the syndicate saw in April
last that the receipts ai Rio were
480,000 bags per month and the crop
for the current year promised to be
largely in excess of the year previous,
tbey let go all their holdings, but in
a careful way, so as not to break
prices and lessen their profits.
Then the Brazilian syndicate came
into the market. It is said by those
who have watched the market that
they held 700,000 bags, and that the
members have inside of three or four
days been called upon for §1,500,000
cash for margins. It was this syndi
cate Mr. Arnold represented in the
trade. They have had almost com
plete control of the market since tbey
began operations and ran the prices
of coffee up to 21 and 22 cents. It is
believed some of the members have
unloaded and that the holdings are
much less than when the break be
gan.
Fatal Accident.
While Mr. James A. Maxwell, of
near Butler, was assisting to build a
barn for John Arthurs of Jefferson
twp , last Monday afternoon, a log
slipped and struck him across the
left face and breast, injuring him so
badly that he died next morning,
During thfc war Mr. Maxwell was a
member of Co. F, 78th Regiment—
new organization, and he has for
some years been workiug a t the car
pen tor trade.
Good Advice.
"I UFed it ia the spring of 1885
with excellent results for bronchitis
and catarrh, and I taken pleasure in
recommending it to invalids Several
have sent (or it and it has worked
well; I think it wiil do good to all."
So writes a clergyman in Portland,
Me., when writing Opt. 11, 1886, to
Drs. Starkey & I'alen to send him
another full Treatment of Compound
Oxygen.
This Compound Oxygen has a his
tory wonderful in its way, and worth
reading by everybody whose lifj is
worth preserving. This history is
embodied in a very interesting two
hundred page treatise, which is sent
Iree by mail on application. Please

General Notes.
There is a <*ood deal of quiet but
effective sarcasm in this world. It
is now hinted that the Rev. Sam
Jones is an evangelist "for rev enue
only."
In comparison with the horde of
office-seekers who infest Washington
President Cleveland regarded the
swarms of black (lies and mosquitoes
at Saranac as a utero trill'? not to be
mentioned.
A revival preacher addressed a
Tennessee audience as a lot of "two
legged" hags The next week he ap
pealed to his hearers by calling them
"pusillanimous skunks." Religion
seems to have a queer effect on some
men
The injunction to "heap coals of
fire on an enemy's head" cannot al
ways be obeyed, when poor tenants
have only bog peat for fuel; but the
forgiving nature of the Irish is shown
bv their coming as near obedience as
possible—pouring hot water on the
heads of their evictors.
The Welsh have profited by the ex
perience of the Irish in resisting the
police. At Denbigh last Saturday a
mob gathered to prevent a sale for
the collection of tithes, but instead of
subjecting themselves to arrest they
merely, in the words of the dispatch,
"turned loose an excited bull.''
The result was that the police
were routed, reinforcements of troops
were ordered up, nud only one ar
rest was made pcrsuniably not the
bull's.
Seeing an advertisement in a New
York paper hew to strengthen the
memory, a party of Nashville busi
ness men clubbed together and seat
SSO for the recipe. It read thus:
"Read everything you see carefully
and repeat it three times a day as long
as you live, and your memory will be
greatly improved."
Saturday last eleven great steam
ships sailed from New York to Euro
pean ports, not one of them carrying
the American Hag. They were all
crowded with Americans, however.
