The Great Storm.
The storm that visited Butler, Monday
afternoon, was as wide-spread as any we
have ever read of. Reports iroui Titusville
and Oil City to the north of us, and from
Wheeling to the south of us show that the
width of the belt visited by the storm was a
wide one, and reports from Huntingdon to
the east of us and from as far West as Tope
ka, Kansas to the west show that the belt
visited was an unusually long one.
The storm struck Butler at about 2 p.m.,
and in a few miuutcs did considerable dam
age. Part of the tin rotfiug of the Court
House was ripped off and thrown to the
street, the tin-roof of the jail was bulged,
almost all the stationary awnings in the
town were torn to tatters and in some cases
the iron rods holding them were bent, the
cornices of the new Schenck and Reiber
buildings were thrown over, but jne derrick
on the hill south of town was left standing,
the hose drying steeple on the jail lot was
upset, Madison Starr's new house on N. Mc-
Kean street was moved ab jut a foot aud the
contractor, Adam Haffner, put it in place
next day with four jacks, shade and fruit
trees were broken and blown over, fences
were blown down and Charley Kerr, who
was working on the ball grourds fence says
he was blown acrcis the street —the first time
he ever flew and perhaps the last—; Phillips
Bros. had 21 rigs blown down at Keibold aud
Glade Run, ail the oil operators in the coun
ty had some rigs destroyed, bail fell in the
Saxon field and the hail stones hitting the
team of a man named Martin saved his life,
for the team scared and ran out of a shed
just before a derrick tumbled upon it; John
Robb's barn in Oakland twp. was upset and
his 13 year old boy, who was in the barn at
the time had his arm broken, a traiu was
blown off the track near Foxburg.
Reports from Beaver, New Castle, Green
ville, Oil City, Kittanning and other towns
show that the damage done there was similar
to that done here.
Out West, a water-spout in Dawes county,
Dacota, submerged a railroad track for five
miles and washed away bridges, at Daven
port, la., hailstones weighing an ounce fell,
windows were broken and crops damaged;
near Indianapolis, Ind. a farmer named
Benson aud his team were struc.k by light
ning and killed. Near Tupeka, Kan. large
hail stones fell and drifted toa depth of three
feet, and cattle were cut by the hail stones
until the blood ran; at Stockton, Kas. the
river bottom was overflowed and two fami
lies carried off, three children are known to
have been drowned.

Superintendent \»ho approved of those
signed by the County and City Sup'ts alone,
and returned the other papers.

thanks for the unexpected honor con
ferred upon as in providing such an
elegant dinner as waß served to as in

Lecture By Dr. Mary Allen.
The people of Butler will have a
genuine treat on Sunday evening, at
the Presbyterian church, in the lec
ture of Dr. Mary Allen, of Ithaca, N.
Y. It will be remembered that she
delivered one of hor popular lectures
to an overflowing house here a year
ago, and so delighted her audience
that the W. C. T. U. under whose
auspices she comes, has succeeded in
securing her for another lecture. We
may safely say that those who attend
will pronounce tbe lecture one of tbe
best. No admission fee will be char
ged, but, as usual, a collection will be
taken which, it is hoped, will be gen
erous enough to pay expenses.
"As a temperance address it was

the ordinary addresses which have
become stale, flat, and unprofitable."—

The town of Somerset had a $25,-
000 fire one night last week. It is
claimed that the fire was started by
gome person who took offense at the
action of the temperance people of the
town and one of the most active ad
vocates of "no license" was one of
the heaviest sufferers.
Officers who hold primaries should
exercise great care and gee that no
fraud is committed. The officers in a
couple of districts in Lancaster coun
ty, at the last primary election con
cluded to give one of the candidates a
boost and stuffed the ballot box. They
were arrested, tried and convicted a»d
the other day sentenced to pay a fine
and undergo an imprisonment of one
year and two weeks. This was a
pretty salty sentence, but the offend
ers will not do it again.
The steel works that have caused
so much excitement have decided to
locate at Latrobe? The people raised
$20,000 and bought for them l>s acres

company will give them water free
for 10 years. They will also get gas
free. The stockholders of the Ligo
nier Valley Railroad will give them
the privilege of using their road from
the Pennsylvania Railroad to their
works. Work will commence as
soon as the papers are made out. The
works will employ about 500 men
The Indiana, Pa , Messenger says:
The idea that "DO license" makes a
dull town is all fudge. Indiana has
not had a licensed house for several
years and there never was a time
when more business was transacted.
When we had seven licensed houses
at least SIOO per week were spent at
the bars for beer and whisky That
money is now spent for the necessa
ries of lifejandjnany families now have
plenty to eat and good clothes to wear
who, under license, were half fed and
half cloched. And the curious part of
it is that our hotel men appear to
thrive as well without license as they
did with it. They have more satis
faction iu conducting their business
and are not harrassed by the fear of
prosecution and are not it constant
dread of a drunken row that will break
up a hundred dollars worth of furni
t»re and generally demoralize their
houses. One of our prominent land
lords told us the other day that he
would rather close his house than con
duct it in connection with a bar. And
after an experience of several years,
men who thought they could not pos
sibly get along without their daily
beer and whisky, now find their ap
petite for the fiery liquid gone and
they, too, are satisfied to live in a "no
license" town. All things considered
a town might be struck with some
thing worse than prohibition.
Mrs. Betsy Hover, mother of Mrs.

Brady, last Thursday. Daniel S.
Everhart and James Horner charged
with the Everhart murder, were dis
charged. Ten witnesses were exa
mined for the prosecution, but the
testimony was not deemed strong
enough to hold them by the Justice.
The general opinion was that the pris

were rearrested.

The highest priest of the Salvation
army, now operating in Oil City, call
ed at " The Derrick 1 ' office a few days
ago to demaud the retraction of as
persions in that newspaper against
him and his followers. " The Der
rick," describing tho interview, re
tracts as follow*: "Aa a matter of
square toed fact, the H. P. of the S,
A. does not impress us Btrongly as a
man who fs on terms of sweet inti
macy with Jehovah; but in this as in
other things, wo may be in error.
The boss of the Salvation Army
strikes us as a man who, by walking
about the streets, is taking great
chances of being run in for a vaga
bond. If this sweet singer of Israel
has seen a bar of soap in the last six
months, his face and hands give no
evidence of it. He is the poorest ad
vertisement of a soap house we have
eyef seen. And we trust we may
not soon see such another except
through a spy-glass, with the wind
and distance in our favor."
It is reported from Huntingdon,

upon being asked the reason why be

Memorial Day.
The twentieth annTVersarv of Pec
oration Day has come and gone. The
custom originated with the late and
lamented Gen. John A. Logan, and
steadily prew iu popular favor, until
it became a legal holiday. Wednes
day was a beautiful day—not too hot,
not too cold, with neither dust, mud,
nor rain—and the fine weather com
bined with an unusually complete
programme brought people to Butler
from all parts of the countv.
The first event of the day was the
presentation of the banner given by
the Reed brothers of Pittsburg to the
G. A. R. Post here which is named
after their brother, A. G. Reed, who
was mortally wounded at Fredericks
burg, and who died a few days after.
Uol. Thompson made the presentation
speech, and it was as patriotic, poeti
cal and pathetic an address as anj one
could wish to listen to. Captain Alex
Russell received the banner and in
behalf of the Post made a very gooi
response.
This took place in front of the
Court House, and tht n the procession
consisting of the two brass bands, the
G. A R. Post, the Militia Company,
the Soldiers' orphans, the Odd Fel
lows Lodge, and the Spriogdale Hose
Co., led by Major Reed and Judge
Story on horse back, formed and
marched to the North Cemetery.
Here the soldiers' graves were decor
ated, and then the soldiers assembled
and listened to the usual services.
Capt. Fieeger was the orator of the
day, and he made a splendid
on the duties of the day, and mem
ories awakened by its recurrence, and
he paid Gen John A. Logan a beau
tiful and just tribute.
The procession again formed and
wended its way down the hill, and as
nearly everybody was thirsty, the
three tubs-full of lemonade that the
ladies of the W C.T.U. had supplied
were soon disposed of.
Decoration day is steadily increas
ing in popular favor, and there are
good reasons why it should, and why
we should continue to revere the
memory of those who risked, and who
gave up their lives that the Union
should be preserved.
Every jear of our continued pros
perity as a Nation, renews our appre
ciation of the services rendered by the
armies of 1861-5, and brings more
forcibly to our minds the terrible con
sequences that would have resulted
from a failure of those armies to
conquer the Southern hosts.
Peak Pleads Guilty.
MT. HOLLY, N". J., May 20—There i
wa3 a great serration in the trial of!
Barclay W. Peak, for the murder of
Kate Anderson, this morniug. At
the opening of court, Peak entered a
plea of guilty to the indictment to the
utter surprise of everybody connect
ed with the ca9e except possibly his
own lawyers. The action of the
court yesterday, in excluding the dy
ing declaration of the murdered girl,
which was the testimony on which
the former conviction was obtained
by the S„ate. almost assured acquittal
of the accused or a disagreement of
the jury. Why Peak should have
pleaded guilty at the last moment
under these circumstances is one of
the most remarkable features of this
celebrated case.
Peak has insisted from the first
that he was entirely innocent of the
charge, and has borne himself in
prison aud in the court room with the
utmost coolness.
After the decision of Judge Garri
son, yesterday, excluding the dying
declaration of Katie Anderson, the
testimony left was circumstantial, but
pointed Btrongly to Peak's guilt.
Upon Peak pleading guilty, Judge
Garrison instructed the jury to find a
verdict of murder in the second de
gree and the court would be responsi
ble. The jury retired, and after a
brief absence, returned with a verdict
of murder in the second degree, in ac
cordance with the instructions of the
court.
—Pittsburg was the scene of two
murders last Tuesday, both the re
sult of jealousy. A man named Mul
herron killed a man named Martin
whom he found with his wife; and a
man named Showlder killed a neigh
bor woman named Mullea with whom
he had been on intimate terms.
—The Republican convention at
Mercer last Tuesday nominated Fruit,
Hall and Speer for Assembly, Mc-
Ciure for Senate, Alexander and Al

for Congress had no opponent.
—Dr. Mary Allen will deliver one
of her admirable lectures in the Pres
byterian church on Sunday evening
next under the auspices of the W. C.
T. U. Wbere-ever Mrs. Allen has
appeared, the press and the people
are extravagant in her praise. A fin
ished scholar, an accomplished musi
cian,and with her husband Dr.Cbilion
Allen a graduate and practitioner in
medical science, and having enjoyed
the additional advantages of study
and travel in foreign lands, she brings
to tho platform a combination of rare
gifts, not the least of which is a sweet
womanly grace that is simply irresis
tible.—Sup't Press Work.

Get Thin Clothing
To Fit.
We're only on the edge of
summer. What will the mid
dle be without Thin Clothing ?
We anticipate a strong trade
in such goods. Our stock is
equipped for it. In the whole
round of Thin (roods there
isn't one worthy quality that
we haven't. Serges, Seer
suckers, Alpacas, and to Of
fice Coats as low in price as
are worth having.
Isn't this as good a time as
any to get reliable goods when
they're to be got? J. N, PAT
TERSON never relaxes his
purpose to have the best. We
haven't any that we can't en
dorse as the best ol their
class.
Suppose Thin Clothing
does cost less. That its cost
is but a trille. Mayn't you
as well have the best: and
comfort for weeks and weeks?
Get Thin Clothing that (its.
Plenty of it is just thrown to
gether. Too mean to sell.
Slim money's worth: slimmer
comfort. We'll give you Thin
(roods to fit.
We're getting a big sim
mer trade now. It'll increase
as the goodness of our Thin
Clothing gets found out.
So don't forget J. N. PAT
