most M.ses it i.i a case of elopement, the par

- Harper's .Vagiizine for August appea.s
to have been arranged with an eye to the
fact that in this month more people are at
l<o<-ure than iu any other month of the year.
The Number, therefore, is lull of good read
ing commonly called Getiou. Iu Mr. How
ell's "Annie Kilourn," as in a mirror, the
devote of private theatricals may behold his
or her motives clearly revealed. The affec
tation of intellectual interests nad culture,
so oinmon among people who have neither
intellect nor culture, is depicte 1 with fideli
ty. A high |»oiut of interest is reached iu
the installment of William lllaok's "In Far
Lochaber." Then there is "Pride and
Pride," a love-story of August temjierature
by Mrs. Jaue G. Austin, whicli will herve to
while away the odd minutes. Isut what will
attract most attention is the sec ind and final
part of H. Rider Haggard's "Maiwa's lie

turns tut well. What more could oue ask
of a story.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
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

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

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. The former was ar
rea'.ed on Thursday night and soon
after confessed the theft. Watt was
soon after arrested and placed in jail
with Cochran. When arrested
Cochran had on bis person §93,
which was a portion of the money
realized from the sale of the wool
which was sold to Wm. Humphreys,
of Portersville, Butler county.— New

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.

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.

Railroad to be Built.
Mr. James Callery, President of
the P. it W. 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."
