All newspaper men will tell you so. Hut
as soon as the press is started, and the pa
per is printed in its complete shape, there
it stands out in front of you, so big that
you can't see anything else. It's a
strange fact. And this, says the Cull, is
the reason it is so easy to edit a paper after

the next; they begin building with their
plans in their heads and not on paper, and

bidding on the building will bid ou exactly
the same work. Air. .1. W. Miller, the
Architect, has opened an office at the S.
W. Corner of the Diamond, in the old Sul
livan office. He will make you plans ami
specifications lor a small building for ten
dollars, and what you will pay for these
j will probably nave you ten times the
amount on an ordinary six-room house,and
besides this you will obtain just, what you
want.
—How some words will catch the popu

idea will be relegated to the rear! This,
nine times out of ten.is due to the intrinsic

siveness, the qualities that lit to the pub

short word nearly always "has the call."
so to speak, and in no two words is this
more noticeable at present than in those
used to name the sneezing and serious ep
idemic that is sweeping half 'round the
world. In Butler, as elsewhere, concise,
forceful, one syllabled "grip" is used prob
ably ten times to once its big, four-jointed
elder brother, "inlluenza," i< called into

unknown subscriber miles away without
cash in advance, and those who read a
good assortment of papers know, too, that
when the subscription for such papers c\
pires the paper stops at once.

to a rare sight about <• o'clock Monday
evening. A meteor was seen to shoot
through the clouds and descend
rapidly toward the earth. It looked like
a mass of lire, the ni/e of a cannon ball
and left a stream of lire behind it When
within about 100 leet of the earth il burst
into apparently a thousand pieces, the
shooting fragments appearing to the awe
stricken witnesses like the bursting of a
mam moth rocket. The sound ol the
shrieking pieces upon the paved trecls
were heard, but no traces of the fallen
inctcof ronhl be found.
A gang of thieves have been operating
quite extensively iu the neighborhood of
l.atrobe. They have a rather novel way
of doing business, too. They seem to
have a mania for killing live stock, and
nearly all the farmers in that vicinity have
lost either cattle, iheep or hogs within
the pa t few weeks. The thieves are uu
like ordinary people who follow the same
profession. Instead of driving off the
stock they slaughter it upon the spot and
carry it away dead, and all efforts to de
tect them have been futile. The thieves
are supposed to be a gang of tramps who
infest the coke works ulolig the I'enusy!
vania railroad. It is said they have twice
put officers to flight when efforts were
made to capture them.

A few moment, after 5 o'cb* k an alarm
af fire xoimM, calling not the ntin de

the thou ami of toiler who were return
iug to their homes from Workshops and
factories, and tlnn quickly spread the news
that a frightful calamity had happened in
the southern part of the city. The streets
leading to that place were non crowded
with people going to the scene. Their
presence there heaped horror upon horror,
as will be seen later on. An explosion had
occurred at the double residence of Messrs.
Michael Bowers and John Marriot, at the
corner of Wall and Noble alleys.
The cause of the calamity was an ac
cumulation of natural gus in the cellar of
the liou-e. referred to. The city has re

leading past the house occupied In Marriot
aud Bowers is one of Ihe mains through
which the tluid is furnished to the public.
The pipes had leaked aud the explosive
fuel had found its way through ti lire iu
the ground to the cellar, which was tin l
scat of the horror. It became ignited in
some unknown manner and exploded with
terrific force, wrecking the building and
filling tin' air with ilehris. Mr Marriot
was l.lo'vn out of the house, and a ian
named Goulding, wln was standing near
the structure, was blown across the street.
Mrs. Marriot wa carried aero the street
