lers had three bar-tenders on the 4th, and
Jleniy Ziismermau was one.

Zimmermen to be same man sent to A\ork

fel i'or the elefence, thin made a plea lor
mercy for his client. Be compared the liemor
tellers of this town to children who hail
burned their fingers, faid it was harder " e '
fend in a liquor case here than it was in a
murder cece because every body presumed the
liquor dealer guilty to start with, denounced
the new liquor law as a severe and ridiculous
cne ai d one that made the hotel proprietors
dieam of jail every night of their lives, asked
the Ccurt to suspend sentence in the convic
tion for selling to minors as he did not con
tidtr that n just eoLV.'cticn, and sentence him
alone on the conviction for selling to men ot
jntimperate habits.
Judge Hezen said he bad heard the coun
sel had tried the cases with great care and
«>as astonished that a pan who had heard
what the Ccurt said on April 4th could so
violate the laws, and that bat for his resolve
to revoke the license would make the sen
tence heavier.
He then sentenced Sellers as follows: tor
selling to minors, SSO fine, costs of prosecu
tion and 20 days in jail; for selling to men ot
knonn intemj.ei(ite JiabitsK!oo fine, costs and
20 days in jail, end revoked bis license.

On Tuesday morning of last
week a phvsiciau was called to the
residence of a prominent resident of
North Buffalo township, Arm
strong Co., to administer to a young
girl who had lived with the family
for several years. It did not take
him long after arriving to determine
that a child had been born,
lie told ber so, and
csked for the child. She denied that
she was a mother, aud the doctor, af
ter giving her the necessary atten
tion, left and notified Constable Jack,
who proceeded to the house, in com
pany with Hammond, and
demanded to be shown the child.
The girl denied to thi m that, there
was a cbiid, and the man of the
house also denied that she had given
birth to a child. The constable told
him that if he did not produce the
child he would arrest both iiiui and
girl. This brought him to time, aud
after n consultation with the girl, he
told the officers they would find what
wanted on the back porch Going
thero the ifficers found the dead
body of a child. They were unable
to tell whether the child was living
when born, or not. In the absence
of Coroner Crawford, Justice Faulk
held an irquest, atid the finoiog was
"That the said male infant was deliv
ered of the body of one Jennie
French, at the house of one Williim
H. 1). Phillips, in North Bullaio
township, Armstrong county, on the
27th day of September, A. I). 1887
and that said delivery was produced,
through crime, committed by some
person or persons to the jury un
known." It was ia evidence before
the jnry that Dr. J. C. McKee, of
Slate Lick, had been solicited by
Miss French, some weeks ago, to
give her medicine, and that he not
only refused, but gave her some
wholesome advice at the time which
she seemed not to have heeded. At
the time of holding the inquistion the
whereabouts of Phillips could not be
ascertained, He is now in jail, how
ever, to answer to the charge of be
ing apcessory before the fact, and
other important arrests will follow.
Dr. J. M. Blaine held a post-mor
tem examination, and his testimony
was that the child was alive up or
the time of birth, but had never
breathed after delivery.

—Barnum & Co. did a "phenome
nal business" in Pittsburgh, on Mon
day and Tueaday of this week, ac
cording to their apjent, and, consider
ing the unfavorable weather, did a
fair business here—they at paid
expenses, which must amount to
several thousand a day. There were
more country people in town that day
than we expected there would be, and
though the majority came by rail, a
great many came in buggies and
wagons. At one iivcry stable alone
we counted a hundred wagons, bug
gies, and carriages, all handsome rigs,
and this would stem to indicate that
the farmers of this vicinity were pros
pering. It was abo noticed that the
country ladios were as neatly and el
egantly dressed as tfce town ladies,
if not more so, which indicates a taste
and refinement, not always found in
rural populations. VVe doiibt if a
healthier, hardier, handsomer, or
more intelligent rural population can
be found in United states or on
the planet, than that which covers
the hills and dales of Butler county.

—Competition will always regulate
prices. As soon as any industry
makes undue profits others will en
gage in them and by increased pro
duction decrease of the profits without
affecting the cost of production-
Hence that policy which fosters home
industries given employments at fair
wages, while that which admits for;
eign products in competition closes
our iudustrial plants, given foreign
capital and labor a monopoly and
permits such n schedule of prices as
foreign manufactures may dictate.
In a word free trade increases the
cost of liviug while protection re
duces it,
