Max Rajer of Pittsburg was arrest cd, Friday last, on a charge of mur dering a man named August Wetzel over a year ago. i John Reay of Hubbard, 0., WBS killed on the Sbenango R R , near Pine Grove station last Thursday. Viola and Victor Ramsey, twins, fell into the Allegheny river at White Rock, near Freeport, last Friday and were drowned. The Einlenton News, of last week said: For several nays past a ruruor has been in circulation m this place that the Pittsburg and Western Hail road Company will extend their lines to this place, coming up the river and then going up Richey Run. This change, should it be made, would be made to avoid the hills at Foxburg, and would thus give the road a much better route, besides it would connect it with one of the best towns in the lower oil country and be of great benefit to the company. The company has already lost much money by accident, besides the sacri ficing of several lives, by their pres ent route, ascending the hills at Fox burg, and it does seem somewhat strange that it has not long since deemed it advisable to c <me up this way. Lee Young, a Chinese laundrvman, of New Castle, has Gled papers to be come naturalized. Young is 34 years of age, and has been in this country 20 years. He is u member of the New Castle Y. M. C. A. A West Middlesex, Mercer Co., man writes as follows under date ot July 14: 'Between this place and Pu laski, there is a camp of Pittsburgh butchers, and they are whoppers, too; none of them weigh less than 200 pounds and oue weighs over 300 pounds. They receive each day four to six kegs of beer. There are also several women in camp.' A young man named Dellaven, of Allegheny, while visiting relatives at New Wilmington, went with some boys to gather cherries. While he was in the tree the others frightened him by stating that someoue was aft er them. In his hurry to get down from the tree, he fell, alighting on a mot tar box and breaking one arm badly besides receiving other injuries. Blood poisoning set in and he died Sabbath night. The "Holy Rollers" had Elmer Giebner, arrested for disturbing u re ligious meeting at Hundersonviile, Mercer Co. He was tried by a jury at 'Squire Shipler's on Saturday, was acquitted but had to pay the costs of suit, not a trifling sum. During the trial the defendant did uot deny having "shouted" along with the rest. The Franklin robbery we mention ed week before last, in which Jack Kilgore was said to have lost §2,040, is explained. A number of circum- | stauces connected with the story led some Franklin business men who were financially interested in the fam ily to doabt the genaiaeuess of the steal, aud finally came to the conclus ion that Jack was attempting to de fraud creditors, and he arrested on Friday. He gave bail for a hear ing on Monday, but before the hour arrived the case had been settled, and there will be no more ado about the robbery.the public isconfident that the masked men were imaginative. The able and trulv rural editor of the Cochrantou Times has no buck wheat this year, but he has cut 300 dozens of wheat from thirteen acres, and having shocked it without a drop of rain, he can afford to smile at Sa tan's rage and face a frowning world. Two "green goods" men who had an Armstrong county farmer in tow were arrested at their boarding house in Pittsburg, last Monday. The body of Frank Mersheimer, who has been missing siuce last Sat urday, was found three miles from New Castle last Monday. The body was perfectly black, which, taken in connection with the fact that the corpse was found under a tree that had been struck by lighuing, leads to to the belief that he was struck by lightning. Duriug the storm of last Monday a young man named McQeary. of North Buffalo township, Armstrong county was struck by lightning and killed. The Stout murdor case, tried in Pittsburg this week, was one of un usual interest. The murder was the result of family troubles and was des cribed by an attorney, as follows: "Seldom in the history of all the causes celebres of the Allegheny crim inal courts hasjhere been one con centrating so many points of interest as the Stout case," "The father, es tranged first from his wife, next from his family, brooded over his troubles until the idea of sacrificial atonement struck him, and thinking his son, by his espousal of his mother's cause, was the incarnation of his troubles, he slew him. This is the story." Two men on Thursday went to Mon ey Miller, a farmer liying near Mer cer, and while pretending to bargain for his farm, induced him to take a chance iu a lottery. They told him he had drawn §2.500, but that the money could not be paid until he raised $2,000. He went to Mercer, borrowed the amount at the First Na tional Bank aud took it to them. They coolly pocketed the money aud drove rapidly away. They were last heard of at West Middlesex, where they took a train going south. Wool Thieves Captured. About four hundred pounds of wool, the product of about eighty sheep, were stolen from John Cun ning, of Mahoning twp, on the night of the ISKh. The next morn ing when Mr. Cunning noticed his loss he came to the city and placed the matter with Detectives Brown and Marshall, who soon succeeded in fastening the guilt upon ' Hugh Cochran of this city and John Watt of Hillsvilie.

Main St. Butler, Pa Eclipse Happenings. Funuy thing, an eclipse. You probably know the un derwent the phenomenon known as being eclipsed, last Sunday night. You do ? Thought so. There were just thirty-two citizens i of Butler who wituessed the intorest ! iug spectacle. How do I know ? Counted them. Of those thirty - j two exactly niue figured up their damage to average $72.19 per head, balanced by experience. How do I know ? Got their names,and the amounts Like to bear a little about them ? One of the astronomers is a busi ness man of our town. We'll call j him John because that is not his name. Where he lives matters little but his rooms face the north and that mattered much. He awoke about' midnight, Sunday night, and, happen ing to think of the eclipse went to his north window to look for it. Ho looked aud looked and saw no moon and finally fell asleep on the wiudow sill. 'Nothing very funny in that', says you. A washer woman who goes to work at dawn happened to glance up at his window and saw a ghost. The merchant was awakened by her ; shrieks. That's the reason John, only that's not his narue, does not talk much of the eclipse. Observers Two and Three are two ol the "Boys" who happened to be having a good time that night and started to take each other homo. Coming up the hill leading to the | Diamond one of them halted aud ( said: "Bill, wbas'b that "Whash wat,'" asked Bill, "whash wat ? You're drunkern a hog." "Ish th' clipsh," said he, "Clipsh o' th' moon." "Out she goesh," returned Bill. *'Lesh stay here till she comesh out agin." DJWD they sat but as she didn't come out again till the electric lights were turned on in the Court House clock on Monday night, it is presumed that they didn't wait to see her. Observers 4. 5 and 6 are a girl, her '•fellow" and her father, who might be one uf our lawyers for all you know to the contrary. The young couple go in the best society, the upper ten, and as I am a truthful chronicler, are very sweet on each other fornin3t the wishes of paterfamilias. . Well, last Sunday evening the young man called on the lady and staved to such a lat? hour that she felt called upon to remonstrate The young man said he was going to stay to see the eclipse. Visions of "Dad" crossed the young lady's mind The young man stayed. At 11.33 Dad entered the room. The young man entered penumbra ten seconds later and was totally eclipsed at 11:34 Sad but true. The last three observers saw the eclipse through glasses, beer glasses. Their official report will'be looked for ward to eagerly. A cloud passed over the atmosphere about the begin ning of totality, in the shape of a slight discussion during which the glasses were all broken. So was one fellow's nose. Overhaul humanity and when found make a note of it. • The Senatorial Conference. Dr. Showalter of this county and Mr. Meredith of Armstrong county with their conferreea met again at Freeport last Thursday, and took 24 ballots without accomplishing any thing, when Dr. Showalter proposed referring the matter to the popular vote of the two counties, which prop osition Mr. Meredith rejected, as he also rejected a proposition to place the names of twelve men in a hat, each candidate selecting six, the names to be drawn out by a blind folded man, and the last of the twelve drawn cut to be the seventh conferree or umpire. OQ Friday the conference again met and took a dozen more ballots without rasult, when Meredith want ed to leave the matter to State Chair man Cooper, which Showalcer would not agree to, a3 Cooper and Meredith are close personal friends. Nothing was doue at the meeting, Saturday, excepting to adjourn till Monday evening, aad on Monday evening they took ballot making the 37th and then adjourned to meet at Lowry House in Butler at 2 p. m, of August 28.

The trouble iu the camp of the Keystones, the crack colored team, caused by their manager Wulker. throwing a game to the Fishels in Butler on Tuesday of last week, cul minated in Pittsburg, Saturday, by the resignation of VValker, and the signing of a new catcher and another pitcher. The club intends making a trip through the East. VValker i§ said to have admitted that ho got $75 for throwing the game. A club from Pittsburg, composed in part of men who played with the Buch's and Marshall's when here,aud calling themselves the I. G - Welsch's came to Butler last Saturday and played a game with the Fishels. The Pittsourg club contained some good players, but they had a weak battery and did not play well together. They were easy victims for the Fishel's, who defeated them without effort the scoi-e at the close standing 20 to 7. The McKeesport club played a close and interesting game with the Fishels, on the grounds here, Wed nesday afternoon, and the success of the McKeesport club was due to their one-armed pitcher, England, who is very hard to bat, and the Butler club getting rattled in the sixth inning and letting in two runs on errors.

II Li is quoted by a re porter ot the Pittsburg Times, as saying that one of the two roads that are to complete the proposed great transcontinental system is now being surveyed, and that a company to build the other has been organized, and that he believed the two links would be built. After describing the Western link through Ohio he said: "The proposed line to make the connection has been on paper for two years, but now the company, whose headquarters is in New York City, is regularly incorporated and officered and the road will eventually be built. It is the American Midland, to run from a point near Mauch Chunk, Pa., on the Lehigh river, to Parker, Pa , on the Alleghany river a distance of about 250 miles, where it will com plete the new route by connection with the Pittsburg & Western. At its Eastern terminus ft will make con nection with the Jersey Central, Del aware and Lackawanna and Lehigh Valley Railroads, which have no di rect Western outlet. Each of these lines is interested iu the building of the new line, as each would profit greatly by it. Their anthracite pro duct would be given a great outlet to the West." County Expenses.
