" 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.

Weaver's Speech.
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.

time past. It will furnish towels to
its customers at five cents each, keep

up those newly washed. Tbe firm
bas already over 100 customers.
—Lorenzo Kreis, a Pittsburg and
Western Railroad brakeman, whose
parents live in Altoona, was the vic
tim of a practical joke last .Sunday
afternoon that ended in his death.
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

—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

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."

Bloody Tragedy at Oil Gity.
SjieciaT t-> the Gazette.
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

What The New Deal Really

The late reorganization of thj
Pittsburg and Western Railroad is of
much more importance than has thus
far been made public. It is now
quietly admitted by those in a posi
tion to kuow that the P. & W. will
shortly handle a large amount of tho
Nypano aud New York, Like Frio
and Western traffic from Youngstown
Ohio, which is now given to other
exclusive connections at that point .
The controlling interest iu the
Pittsburg and Western Railroad is
composed of New York parties close
ly identified with the New York,
Lake Erie and Western organization.
The Rochester and Pittsburg line,
which now forms a connection with
the Alleghehy Valley Railroad, will
shortly be an important factor in
railway circles, so far as it relates to
adirectand independen tline to New
York and points in Northern New
York and New England The ar
angements have been made for this
completion of a new lino from the
present termini to this city, which
will give the Rochester and Pitts
burg an uninterrupted entrance to
this city, witb a prospect of connect
ion at Rochester, N. Y. with tho
New York, Lake Erie and Western

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,
