" LOCAL AND GENERAL THE LITTLE GREEN* APPLE. I bear the loud notes of an echoing wail, of a small, small boy in bed. It raises the shingles from off the roof as be wishes that he were dead; And the apples are there, and their presence is known As the primey&l cause of that far-reaching groan. And the small boy grows limp, and the small boy is pale. And the small boy gets weaker and can't even wail; And he vows a big yow he'll eat apples no more, For his rystem is racked and his diaphram's sore; But the very next day, forgetting all pain, He tackles the little green apple again. —During this hot weather it is even refresh* ing to run across a cool piece of impudeuce —The picnic of the Presbyterian Sunday School was a very enjoyable affair.

We listened, with some satisfaction, to th speech of Gen. Wearer, of lowa, delivered i.n a store-box at corner of Main a*i.l JefftrsJ i Sts., last Tuesday evening. Weavjr is a gea tletnan and a student, aa<l his speech—com pared to the blatherskite harangue of Tom. Armstrong in the Opera House some weeks ago —was as the scent of the rose to the stench of a sewer. He began by saying that he believed that the mass of the pevple of this country are honest in their political convictions and wanted to do what was right and what was best for themselves. That is true, an.! we will do so as fast as we discover the methods of so doing. lie then spoke of the conditions of the la boring classes of Great Britain, Germany, and other European countries where all the land and capital are owned by the favored few, and the masses live in poverty, and in quired whether or no influences were at work in this country that would eventually bring about similar results; and to prove that they were, cited the remarkable rise in the for tunes of the Vanderbilt family of New York. Exactly similar conditions cannot exist in this country or in Erance, where the people are freeholders, but that something should be done to prevent the accumulation of these vast fortunes we all know, and will do it when we learn how. His remarks on the Natioual Bank ques tion were rather misleading. That was an evil growing out of the war, and it will die a natural death, in course of time. State Hank charters to-day are preferable to those of National Banks. Some of tbe largest con cerns in the country are returning their Na tional charters and taking those of tbe State in which they are in. Both the Butler Sav ings Bank and John Berg 4 Co., could get National charters to-morrow, if they wanted them but they don't want them. His remarks on the land-grant evil were good. That evil also, started during the war when the whole North fearing the secession of the Pacilic States, and believing the coun try almost from Missouri to the Sacramento valleys to be one vast desert, were in favor of a railroad across Continent, cost what it would. But we have since learned that the vast plains can be made productive, and the evil would have been ended long ago but for the disgraceful action of the L'. S. Senate. His ridicule of the Inter state Commerce Bill was good and arnusiug. That law is, at present, the great "What is it" of the national laws. The best part of his speech, however, was 1 his denunciation of the Lnited States Senate, i Fifty years ago when Webster expounded the Constitution and when Clay analyzed the in- j terests of the Nation in the Senate, anil again twenty-five years ago when the champion* of t Union and Freedom held forth there, it wa- I an houor next to the Presidency, to be a United States Senator. But now, the actions of a lot of narrow-minded and seltUh million aires, railroad attorneys, and practical poli ticians who have obtained a majority there, have immolated that honor. Men hold seats in the Senate who aie utterly unlit for the otiice, either in spirit, capacity or character, and oar only remedy is an amendment to the Na tional Constitution making U. S. Senators elective by the people of tlie Stale and not by the State Legislatures. This is the great est reform at present needed by the Nation and until it is accomplished, all legislation in the interest of the people and against mo nopolies will be blocked. Weaver woua i np by advertising a paper that he and another man are printing in lowa, a matter he should have left to bis friends, as it lessened the effect of his speech, but the speech, as a whole, was good.

Death from Heat. On Thursday afternoon, the 14th, Mr. Jas. K. Lackey of Oakland twp., was helping to harvest hay in the field of Daniel Heck, near St. Joe Station, when he was overcame by the heat and fainted.

Kreis was lying aaleep on a raft in tbe Allegheny river above tbe Ft. Wayne bridge in Allegheny, using a 10-foot plank as a couch. A party of young men who were passing tiptoed up to where Kreis wa3 lying ar.d up ended tbe plaok so that the sleeping man would slide into the water. They saw the mistake at once and made frantic efforts to save their awakened and shrieking victim, but without avail. He could not swim and soon sank. As socn as the body was pull ed out tbe whole party took to their heels and escaped. The police will look them up. —A novel busiaes.? is that which some men have gone into up in Crawford county, —the raising of pole- cats. They have started two ranches for the purpose, one at Little's Corners and another at Millar's Comers. The object is to secure the fur of the cats. It is not generally known that this fur forms tha trim ming of costly cloaks for women. It is obtained now from the animals in their wild state, but a finer and better fur can be obtained byehuttiDg the animals up and improving them by care. They are extremely prolific, and as the pelts are worth $1 apiece as they come from the animals, it is believed that the business can be made to pay well. —During a thunder-storm in Fayette Co , last Monday, seven Gne cows, standing near a wire fence, were killed by lightning. —Forest fires are raging in Centre Co, near Dubois. —Poor Director Lu»ton of New Castle, lately purchasd a load of hay from a farmer and the load wa3 taken to Cunningham's scales to be weighed. A passer-by in a joking way asked bow many men were being weighed on that load, and the driver took the hint and got off. After the load had been weighed and the wagon gotten some distance away, two more men were seen climbing out from the hay in which they had been buried. Mr. Lutton was notified and the farmer that sold the bay now thinks that honesty is the best policy. General Notes. —That was a fearful railroad acci dent at St. Thomas, Ont., last Fri day. An excursion train ran into an oil train, the tanks were broken, the oil ignited, the tanks exploded, burn ing oil surrounded the cars, a score of people were burned to death and twice as many injured. A machine ban been invented that will bore and cat a Bq uare hole. —A writing telephone appears to be the latest electrical novelty. It hails from Munich, and its inventors claim that the words of the speaker aee duly written down by the appar atus as they are spoken. —A West Virginian named Brown was at the Pension Bureau the other day to furnish evidence in a claim pending before the office. It was learned upon inquiry that his mother bad borne 33 children in all. Twenty of this number were bovg, 10 of whom served in the Union army. Two were killed. The other 14 survive. Each of them draws a pen sion from the Government from dis abilities received while in the service. The death of the two boys entitles to the mother to a pension also. —Eight letters recently read in a London breach of promise case told in a very complete way the course of true love. The first letter began "Dear Mr. Smith," then followed "My Dear John," then "My Darling John," "My owa Darling Jack," "My Darling John," "Dear John." "Dear Sir," "Sir," and all was over. —The Aug. //ar/>er'a contains the first of two articles by Howard I'yle upon the thrilling theme of "Bucca ueers and Maaooners of the Spanish Main" Mr. I'yly gives briefly the ac curate history of these sixteenth-cen tury pirates, about whom the world has hitherto heard only exciting fic tion. But the calm recital of the deeds of these Frenchmen and Eng lishmen, whose reckless thirst for gold led them to plunder every prom ising hoard of Spanish treasure, shows that the fact was often more romantic than the fiction, as may be gathered from spoils accumulated by Captain Henry Morgau. Of him the historian says: "The weulth plundered at Panama could hardly have fallen short of a million and a half of dol lars. Computing at this reasonable figure, the prizes won by Henry Morgan in tbe West Indies would make a grand total of $3,050,000 as the vast harvest of plunder. With this fabulous wealth, wrenched from tbe Spaniards by means of the rack and the cord, and pilfered from his companions by the meanest of thiev ing, Captain Henry Morgan retired from business, honored of ail, render ed famous by his deeds, knighted by the good King Charles II , and finally appointed Governor of the rich island of Jamaica." —Our Town Council are looking clonely after the defective aide-walks of the town.

OIL CITY July 19—The bloodiest tragedy in the history of Oil City occurred here to night. Of the principal actors one is dead, two are dying and the fourth will die, if not at once of bis wounds then on the gallows. The casualties are : Mrs. McNerney, beatten to death with a gunstock or ax. John McXerney, shot through the back, will die. John McXerney, Jr., shot in the head, dying. Policeman James, shot in groin, dying. John McXerney, Sr., is responsi ble for everything. About 11 o'clock to-night residents of Shamrock street were startled by the noise of a suc cession of revolver shots in the vi cinity of McXerney's house. Thomas Savage, a son-in-law of McXerney's who lives next door, ran out of the house, and as he did so saw John McXerney, Jr., run down the street. The young man did not run many yards when the father appeared at the door with a revolver in each hand and commenced firing at the retreating figure of the son. The third shot hit young McXerney, who fell in front of the grocery next door. Upon examination it was found that the young man was shot in the back of the head, the ball coming out near the nose. lie is dying. Savage ran down the street calling "police," who immediately responded and proceeded to the house of McXerney. Officer Henderson, who was in the lead, had only placed his hand on the gate when shot at by McXerney, who was concealed inside the fence. The shot fortunately missed him, but the second one hit Officer James in the groin, Officers Worden and Henderson im mediately opened fire upon McXer ney and one shot parsed through his back between the shoulder blades. McXerney fell and made no further effort to shoot. Officer Henderson disarmed him and proceeded to the house with Officer Worden. Upon entering the front room a sickening sight met their gaze. Mrs. McXer ney was found in one corner of the room dead, her head and face com pletely smashed to a jelly. The room was bespattered with blood aud brains, supposed to have been inflicted with a shotgun stock or ax. Physicians were speedily upon the spot and up on examination of Officer James' and young McXerney's wounds pro nounced them fatal. The wound of McXerney is not necessarily fatal. There were no witnesses to the affair except the son, who is unable to speak. McXerney is said to have been intoxicated at the time, and, from all that can be learned, was abusing his wife when his son went for assistance. Hooted Out of Town. WASHINGTON, July 19—People who have just returned from Europe after sojourning in France and Ger many, unite in saying that we can not properly realize in this country the bitter feeling that exists between the people of those two countries and which is exhibittd in numerous ways in the affairs of everyday life. A gentleman who is a close ob server said: "At Vichy I saw a young Prussian officer hooted out of town simply because he was a Ger man. This pent-up bitter feeling must some day break out in a war such as civilization has never yet seen. Its beginning will find France united as one man. It needs but a very limited residence in Ger many for one to see and recognize that to-day the Germans are far ahead of any nation in Europe in everything which relates to the art of war. The country seems to be think ing of nothing but its army, and the thought is always that that army will soon again find its way to France. When it does, it will find different material to cope witb from what it tact with at the last visit." An Old Chestnut. If Silas McGee had remained in But ler county attending to his work on the pipe line there instead of coming to this city to spend the Fourth, he would not now languish in jail. The Mayor sent Silas on the hill for 48 hours for being drunk. Alderman Bowman read in the New a that Silas was in jail and from the dark recesses of his desk the 'Squiro brought forth a warrant which has been slumber ing and mouldering since the 13th of December, 1886- The information which caused the warrant to be is sued at that time was made by Dan iel Gunsley, who charges Silas with purloining and making away with one coat, one pair of pants and a shirt Mr. Gunsley alleges that Silas board ed with the Gun»ley family and when he left ho (Silas) took with him the articles mentioned above. The Al derman had tho warrant served oti Silas in jail and he will be held until further process of law.— New Gaulle News What The New Deal Really Means- I'ittxburgli Time*.] The late reorganization of thj Pittsburg and Western Railroad is of much more importance than has thus far been made public.

Try it. Told at the Train. Ftom the Pittsburgh Dispatch. John Smallwood is a b.-ight young colored man employed in the Union depot barber shop. He has been there so long, and shaved so many travelers, that the other men in the shop say he can tell from what State a man comes as soon as he puts a razor on his face. A tall, lank old man, with a long, grizzled beard ana long hair strode into the shop a few uights ago, and, setting his old carpet sack on a bench, said : "I reckon I'll be barbered." He was pointed to Smallwood's chair, and soon bad a towel around his neck and was ready for rejuvenat ing. "Well," said John, to be sociable, "how's things comin' on down in old Tennessee ?" The old man straightened up and asked,in astonishment : '•How'd yo know I kern Tom Ten nessee ?" "Oh, I knew you were from there as soon as I saw you." "Ever live dowu thar ?" "Xo ; I'm a Pittsburgher." "We've got a heap of yo' people down thar." "Yes? How they getting along ?" "Gittin' long!" said the old man straightening up; "Thcy's gettin' everything ; buyin' mules an' farms, an' gitteu so sassy a po' white man hain't got no show 'tall with um." "Um that so," said John; "You ain't sendin' any of 'em to Congress yet, are you ?" "Xo, sah," said the old man with great emphasis, again sitting up straight. "Culled men am all right in theh place. They kin work an' get money, or lay round and steal theh livin' ofen chicken roosts an' outer smoke houses, jist as they please. Theh kaiut go to Congress from old Tennessee." The old man got pretty talkative while in the chair. He had come Xorth to see a brother who lives in Butler county, and whom he-has not seen for 34 years. "I lit through the wah on the confedrit side," he said, "an' when it was over I went back on the farm au' I'm jest as good a Union man to day as they make 'em." After he got through and had dus ted off the old carpetsack ready to go, he came back and asked in & half whisper: "Xow, how'd you know I was from old Tennessee ?" A Well-kept Secret. PHILADELPHIA, July 19,-One of the most remarkable cases of ecclesiasti cal litigation in the history of a re ligous order of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States has just been decided in this arch-diocese. Although the canonical processes have covered nearly eleven months of time, and have been conducted by each party to the suit with much zeal aud increasing bitterness, both in this country and in the courts of the Holy See, yet all information con cerning the proceedings was carefully restricted to those within the monas tic walla. During the past few days,however, the secret so long aud so successfully guarded has at lenght transpired. Briefly stated, the case is this: The Provincial of the Hermits of the Order of St. Augustine in the United States has been formally de posed from hia high office on grave and scandalous charges, and a for mer Provincial, defeated by a bare majority vote through alleged crook ed means at the quadrennial election, has been appointed his successor. As a consequence, all the appoiutees of the deposed Superior, will shortly, it is stated, be removed from office, and every member of the Order in the United States must forthwith ac knowledge in due form the authority of the new Provincial and solemny promise obedience and reverence. Should any of the hermit fathers refuse to comply with the commands of the Commissary General, who is sues the decree, they will incur sus pension ipso facto, and also disfran chisement in the Chapter. Absolu tion from these penalties is specially reserved to the General of the order and to his successors. The deponed Provincial is Rev. John P. (iilrnoro, of Waterford, N. Y. It was charged that in violation of the rules of the order at the last election he did vote for himself and, as ho was elected by a majority of one, that the election was the result of his vote. It was also charged that he secured votes for himself by lreely promising good appointments to those who would favor him. The Very Rev. Christopher A. McEvoy has been appointed Provincial of the or der. Drinking Water at Country Hotels. "Hero's a new wrinkle," said the proprietor of a country hotel who was in the city tho other day. "I received a few days ago a letter from a New York gentlemen inquiring my rates for board and asking me to send him a sample of our drinking water. This is an odd idea, and it is likely to be generally practiced in my opinion. The hotel men are wont to call such persons cranks, but looking at the matter seriously it must bo admitted that the question of water should be thoroughly considered. A change of water often causes sickness, and if this be true it behooves men to inves tigate and ascertain if possible whether that change will be for bet ter or worse."—New York fiun, IT IS OBSERVED —That blue eyed cats are scarce— Renfrew Academy.
