MAP OF THE BURNED DISTRICT.
| Petrolia. once the liveliest town oi tbe J
j lower oil field, and the best oil market in ,
I the country, the way of ail min- J
j ing town* —the greater part of it is in ,
i ashes.
! It was built of wood, the wood was old
and dry and once a fire well started in it
with a hijh wind blowing, the people were
helpless.
Karly last Sunday morning flames were
di-covered i--n:ng from the roof of the
Dill building, at the south-we.*t corner of
Hailromd and Main Stf., part of which was
occupied by S. S. Klingen-mitli as a gro
cery and part by Mr. Foster as a billiard
room. Nobody was in the Klingen-mitb
part of the building at the time, and the
is that r-ome one had robbed the
store and then -ct fire to it to eoneeal h;»
crime.
A strong wind was blowing from the
southwest and the building was entirely
enveloped in a few minntcs; then the
flames »pread to the right to Chesebro's
store and jumped acros* tbe street to one
of Kosenberg'fl buildings. A rope was
panned around Chesebro's store, a locomo
tive was hitched to the rope, and Chese
bro'ii store was pulled into the creek, and
the Argyle Savings I)ank building was sav
ed by wet blanket* ind carpet*, but across
tbe street the flames devoured building
after bnilding going east until Toronslri'a
residence was reached. There was a va
cant space between it and the I'ipe Line
office, and it also was saved by wet car
pets and blanket and the progre ■of the
flames in that direction stopped. But the
wind shifted to the cast and the flames
started westward, and destroyed every
building on both sides of Main St. to Fair
view and Argyll Sis, which branch ofl
from tbe west end of Main, and also ran up
Argyle and destroyed several residences
there, and Campbell A livers' livery.
In a little over an hour, the greater part
of Petrolia was in ashe... The flames spread
no rapidly that people were glad to escape
with their lives, and it was fortunate in
deed that there was no loss of life. Pat
Doyle'* dog probably saved bis master's life.
Pat was sound asleep in his building, and
was somewhat stupefied by the smoke and
gases, but the dog bit and palled at him
till be got hint to bis senses. A valuable
dog was bum<-d in the hotel. Some amus
ing though sorrowful incidents are told of
the escaping people. A barber who had
Raved SIOO, gave it to his wife ami she bid
it in the frame of a looking-glass, but in
the hurry and excitement of escaping she
grabbed the wrong glass and left her mou
ey behind to be burned.
Xo water of any account could be had.
There seemed to be none in the reservoir,
and when the fire pump was started no
pressure could be obtained. Thi.i was ac
counted for afterwards by the fact that a
stop-cock on the line hail been unscrewed
and removed, and that thus the water
forced into tbe line ran back into the
creek. The town had a fire department
but it was not in good shape that night.
Mr. Burnett of the Central Hotel is . aid
to be the heaviest loser. His loss is put at
♦7OOO, with no insurance. Bnt tw.< trunks
were taken from the house.
The loa* of Mr. Chessbro, the merchant,
is put at >IO,OOO, with £>ooo insurance; U.
A. Klingensmith's at SOOOO, with $2400 in
surance, Jamison's at sHooU,partly insured;
Ilorchardt's at #6OOO, with a little insur
ance; Foster'• (druggist) at £IOOO. with
*IOOO insurance; Campbell A ltyers at
>3OOO, with SSOO insurance; J. 11. Camp
bell'* at $1000; Kilcbensteiu's at £IOOO,
>7OO insurance; Foote's at SSOOO, partly in
sured, Hawk's at >4OOO and no insurance;
Masonic Hall at $.">000 and injured for that
amount; S. S. Klingen-mith's at S3OOO, no
insurance; Ireland <t Hughs' at >3OOO, no
insurance, Starr's at >2OOO, no insurance;
Bosenberg S2OOO, with >4OO insurance;
Hurk hart's at S2OOO, no insurance. The
otber losses run from s3<io to >IOOO, with
bat little if any insurance. Tbe rate for
the to* n nas 8 per cent, and few compa
nies cared to take risks there at that. Most
of tbe insurance there was placed by Mr.
Findlay, of Franklin.
Petrolia has been scorched several times,
but this fire exceeds all others in extent.
Some forty buildings in all were burned,
and as the business of tbe town has de
creased it is not probable that all will be
rebuilt. The town hail its IMIOIII in the
early seventies when the wonderful Fourth
sand cross-belt was discovered, a discov
ery, that made the supply ot oil seem inex
h au-t utile, and put the price down to 40
ee,. ts a barrel. It was a sorry discovery
for some of our local speculators, who
were bankrupted by it.

party last Thursday evening.

Jeff Burtner is in town this week, and he

A Bunkoer Foiled.
A fine looking fellow, giving the name
of Dick Harris, tried to bunko Farmer
Feil, of Butler County, out of >I,OOO on

Acini at Kvans fity, wlure the check
drawn upon the Third National Punk, ol
Allegheny, was presented for payment,
learned by telcgragh that I»ick Harris had
no funds in the Allegheny bank. Mean
while Harris who had h< • n Mr. Fiel's
guest for a day, had disappeared. Harris
bad also represented him elf a. a police
man, with a warrant for Mr. Fiel's daugh-
Mary, to appear before Mayor Pier-ion, of
i Allegheny. Miss Ficl came here jester
day and again established the fact that
Harris is a fraud.— l'itl*hnrg OII;< th.

Christmas in Butler.
I Xotwithstanding the mud the tores of
Butler were crowded with buyers of Christ

all over the county also did well.
On Christmas cve, the Lntheran. U. I*. |

treats for tho children.
Tbe English Lutheran church wa* pro

floor to ceiling. Each Sunday School
tla.-3 sang a Christmas wmg, and the pro
gramme inclnded an addrc.-.* I»y the the
pastor, after which came the distribn |
tion of the candies and presents.
The German Lutheran church had two
large tree*, connected by au evergreen
arch, which looked very pretty after the
candles were lighted, und hack of the pul
pit were stored the candies, cup- aud sau
cers, and other presents.
Both Lntheran churches wero crowded.
At the L". P. church they had songs and
recitations by the Sunday School scholars,
and then came the treat and the so
ciability for which the congregation is
noted.
At the Episcopal church they had a
Christinas service, and then the light
were' turned down and some twen
ty Scriptural scenes were thrown upon the
wall by a large stereopticon aud were ex
plained by the pa-tor. Then came the
treat. Their tree was very prettily dcco
rated with large gilded streamers, in addi
tion to the usual candh *, ornaments and
presents.
Christina ■ day wns a beautiful sunshiny
day in Butler, a great many people were
on the streets and about the Diamond, and
the Gerinaiiia Baud favored them with

( IIKISTIIAS KVKXT.VG.
The M. K. Church room was crowded
that evening to hear the exer
cises there, which consisted of song*
and recitations, the recitations being by
the half-grown children of the Sunday
School.
In the Presbyterian Sunday School
room, the recitations were by children
under seven, a id they were greatly enjoy
ed both by the young folk - and their par
cnts.
The orphan* of the Home and the con
gregation of the Reformed Church, filled
their little church room until there wa
not even standing room left. A hand
lOmely decorated tree graced the room,
and the recitations were by the larger
member- of the Snaday School.

I Commissioner Kelly's Trouble.
■ For some months past Commissioner j
1 Hutchison and Duncan, and their clerk
j Knos McDonald, have had reason for be
| lieving that Commissioner Kelly was act
i ing dishonestly with the county, and in
j order to intelligently explain how he was
I doing it. it is nece.-«ary to state that in a
'• -Treat many criminal cases the county
j is made liable for the co-ts: the names of <
the parties or witnesses in each ease are j
sworn to before the Clc-rk; and the Clerk j
certifies these to the County Commissioner- ;
in a docket kept for that purpose.
The warrants or checks Irawn on the ;
county treasury and the corresponding i
stub receipts, are each numbered; and when j
a warrant is drawn for a person's costs that
number is marked opposite his name on the
docket. Each warnuit innst have the
names of two Commissioners on it and be
! attested by the Cierk, though as two of the
Commissioners are often away on bn-.nc-.-
I the one left in the office lias always been
I allowed t<> sign two names, which with
the Clerk's attest makes the warrant good.
The person who receives the warrant -igr.s
the receipt written and printed on the
! -tub.
j The beginning of the present trouble was
back in April last. When Clerk McDonald
opened the office one morning he found
that some one had, after business hours of
the previous day. drawn a warrant in favor
•of one John Shaffer for >4 27. that the
writing on the stub was Commissioner
Kelly's, and that the case was marked
Commonwealth, showing that it was For
costs. He went to the docket to write tin
number OT the warrant opposite the name
of John Shatter, and not being able to find
the name there, bis suspicions were
aroused.
In May, June. July, August, Sept. and
Oct. warrants under somewhat similar cir
cumstances were drawn to M. Herdman,
James Shelatree, John Hainel, C. Taylor.
Jame ; Orris, A. Snyder, CSco. Black, \V .
Keed and James Sweeney, the amounts
being >1.36, $4.82, s4*l, s 1.5-.'-4.27. $3.02.
>4.77, $3.09 and >4.27.
In Sept., also, a warrant was drawn to
Joseph Thoinp on for s3.sl, and the Clerk,
after a long -airch over -vera! hundred
pages of new and old dockets, found that
the number opposite the name of Joseph
Thomas in an old case bad been erased and
the number, corresponding with the nuin
-I>er of new warrant placed opposite the
name. In July a warrant was drawn to
Kelly by the Clerk for *O. on an order from
James McCabc, McCabe having been a wit
ne: s i:i the case of the Com. vs. Will Kelly,
the costs of which were paid by the county
during Marshall - term as Clerk. Kelly
said he bad purchased the costs front Mc-
Cabe, but when the Co. Comm'rs inquired
of McCabe, he told them that Kelly had
told him that Will was liable for the costs,
that Will was poor, etc., and that he bad
forgiven Will tbe costs, and bad given
John the order with that understanding:
al-o that John afterwards came to him,
and, alleging that be bad lost the original
order, got a second one from hiiu. 'I he
original order called for -f7.02, and the
duplicate for but >O. Will Kelly wa dis
charged from jail under the in-olvent law s,
which made the county liable for the costs
in the case in which his wife wa- the pros
ecutrix.
On the warrants drawn to other parties
Kelly would get the money from the Co.
Treasurer by pretending to have cashed
them himself. Tbe custom of the office
gave bim the right to sign one of the other
Comm'rs names, but be bad no authority
for adding the Clerk's attest, and the
signatures of the alleged recipi- nts of some
of these warrants on the stubs look like
forgeries.
Clerk McDonald kept his u-picions re
garding Kelly to bin. elf for some time,but
after full>* convincing himself of Kelly'.*
trickery be notified Foinm'rs Hutchison
and Duncan of the matter, and together
they made a thorough examination of the
books.
On Saturday of la<-t week all tbe Com
missioner- and their Clerk being pre eut
the Clerk called Mr. Kelly's attention to
one of the latest of the cases, saying that
the county auditors would meet shortly,
and that there were some thiugs on the
books that he would not be able to i -.plain
to them. Kelly took the matter very cool
ly, writing tbe name down and ayiug be
would l:K)k it up. but when one case after
the other wa. brought up, he broke down
completely, and acknowledged bis fault
and begged for mercy.
His two associates told liiin that il he
would replace tbe money taken Iroui the
county, and resign his office, they would
not prosecute, and Kelly went out and got
the money and refunded it and a--ked lor
time to consider the resignation.
On Monday Kelly was in the office but a
short time. He said he would not resi-.ni
th;-' day, and told bis associates that they
were all in the ame boat, on account of
charging the county for more time than
they put in. On Tuesday be said be wu
going to Pittsburg, Wer'nc -lay was Cliri t
mas, to-day (Thursday) he is in the office,
and what the day will bring forth remains
to be seen.

Tragedy at Tarentum.
Tareutum w (! •• M-rae of a terrible
murder, last Monday night and the people
j of the towu were greatly excited.
The victim was Mrs. Paul Ruder!, wife
of a jeweler the re. She was iu the tore
about 1« o'clock that night, her husband
was iu the 1 atk pait of th" st.ire, and two j
clerks were preparing to close up. Three
men were seen outside the window of the
tore, hiking iu the jewelry Sudden
ly there was a crash of glas;. ami the large |
store window was broken.
Mrs. ltndert rn.>hed to the front of the ;
store, aud pushing aside the curtains he- '
tween the store and the window, looked
ont. As she thrust her head through
Ihe curtain she looked into the muzzle of a
revolver. Before she could withdraw her
head there was a report, and she fell back
into the store, lifeless. Iler husband and
the two clerks rushed out to the street.
The former took time to grab his revolver.
He saw three men running down the street
to the river, and discharged his pisto at ;
them. He fired two shots. Two of the j
fleeing men turned aud shot at the nierch- |
ant. The latter returned the tire but did :
not succeed in hitting any of them Arm
ed men immediately searched the neigh
borhood bat eouH not find either of the
three men.

others by the prevailing styles; but as
everybody must have stoves, the
trade in them increases regularly
with the population. For a clean,
neat, uurable stove or rauge, try one
of Christ Stock's Etna-Es and you
w ill have no other. They ure the best
heaters and bakers in tbe market;
they ure up to tbe times und Christ's
