—The clue to the murderers of Mrs.
Rudcrt, of Tarentum, seems to be com
pletely lost, or rather no true clue was
ever found, and it remains to be seen
whether or not "murder will out" in this
ca.su. There have been some remarkable
cast s of murder coming to light years alter
the perpetration of the deed, and the most
remarkable we ever heard of was the re
sult of ,i discussion over the expression
"murdei will out." Many years ago in a
farm house in Ligonier Valley a company
of women were discussing a recent mur
der, the perpetrator of which was un
known, and one of them, a youug lady,
repeated the (saying "murder will out,
even though the rooster has to dig it out
ot the dung-bill." Ono of tho older ladies
of tho crowd combattod the truth of this
maxim, sajing that tsho herself knew of a
case that did not come ont, and during the
discussion she acknowledged that she had
killed her husband twenty years before,
and she told whero she had hid him. Thi..
statement was proved to bo truo, and tho
woman was arrosted, but what was
done with her, our informant, a lady of
Butler, whoso mothor was one of the
crowd, does not remember.
The Odd Follows.
Over forty-two years ago, on the Ist of
Nov. 18*17, a few men iu Butler determm
ed to organize a lodge of Odd ellows
here. They organiied with Alfred *•» I -
more an Noble (iraiid. Jacob Zitgltr an
Vice 0., John Graham as Secretary, and
Dunlap McLaughlin as Treasurer. On thb
Bth of Nov. they received their charter
from the Grand Lodge at l'hil'a., and J.
Jlcrron Foster of Pittsburg came to Butler
and effected the organization. They nam
ed their lodge tho "Connoqueuessing" ami
since that time it has existed iu Butler,
with varying fortunes. During tho past
year and a half, however, it has trebled
its membership, which now numbers near
ly two hundred, and as il owns « <nbstan
tial brick building, a well furnished hall,
and has mone\ in its treasury, it may be
truly said to Im in a flourishing condition.
LiU.ii year since its organization the
lodge has given a reception, to winch the
the tni m'bers invited their friends, i'heir
reception for this year, the 42d, was held
iu their beautiful hall, on Friday evening
last, and shortly after 7 o'clock, the hour
fixed upon, the hall was comfortably filled
with members and their friends.
Brother Ezra Brtigh called the meeting
to order, the officers took their seats, and
prayer was offered by lirotber Anderson.
Brother I'rugh then called upon Brother
Ira McJunkin to welcome the visitors. Mr.
McJnnkin bid the friends a welcome, and
then spoke of the principles and objects of
the order, of its three great links —Friend
ship. Love and Truth —of the organization
of the order in London in 1715; of the fir»t
permanent lodge iu this country, which
was organized at Baltimore in 1819; of the
alleged secrets of the order, and he dis
claimed liny proprietorship iu the gnat
that browses on the vacant lot nearby.
ilr. l,on Russell ami Miss Mary Wick
then favored the audience with a duet.
Brother J. W. Hutchison was then call
ed upon. He spoke of the objects and
aims of the order, of this, its 42d anniver
sary, and promised that, if the Conuoquo
nessing Lodge continued growing as it has
been during the past few months, it would
eight years hence, celebrate its semi-cen
tennial in a stylo that would throw the
World's Fair ut Chicago into the shade —a
sentiment that was heartily applauded.
The next thing on the programme was
a solo by Miss Alice Wick.
Brother Geo. W. Flcegcr then spoke of
tho common brotherhood of the whole
race, said that this order was a levcler of
rank, that in it all were equal, that it
taught morals and the golden rule; that it
elevated man and made him social and
humane, aud that it was destined to stand
till time ceased.
Brother A. G. Williams was sorry to
correct twa of the previous speakers as to
the origin of Odd-Fellowship, that ono of
the speakers said the order was organized
in London in 1745, and another that it was
organized 1700 years ago, but that they
were mistaken, the order began with the
race and Adam was the first Odd Fellow;
that the order encouraged every member
to bo a man. He then favored the nudi
ence with a song.
Brother Lewis Mitchell was called, but
said he had the Grippe and only came out
■that night at the request of Brother Ilein
eman, who promised to help hint out at
the table.
Brother Anderson, who had been refer
red to by two of the speakers as the witty
member of the lodge, proved to bo a poet,
when called upon and compare d the char
ity of the order to the dew drops falling
from the mountain tops; lie hud also been
spoken of as the praying member and he
he commented on the opposite characters
given him, then he spoke of the sociability
of tho order, of the weekly meeting and of
the ladies meeting with them but once a
year, he thought this should be changed,
and that all the members should marry
and bring their wives with them every
week; he said a man was but half a man
till ho took unto himself a better half and
as he was looking at Ezra when he said
this the audience enjoyed it. He also said
that there arc now 80,000 Odd Follows in
Penn'a.; that they ministered to the neods
of those in want, that the order made men
bettor and nobler, that a good Odd Fellow
was a good everything, and held to Friend
ship, Love and Truth.
Brother Cuthbert. when called upon,
gave a biography of the Goat belonging to
the lodge, he asserted positively that the
iodge did own one at one time, that it
died and that he was at the funeral, but
unfortunately that it was so long ago that
all tho witnesses were dead.
This was the last of tho speeches and
tho Choir entertained the audience for
half an hour pending the announcement of
supper at 10 p. in. when all marched to
the "Willard House and partook of one of
those repasts for which that house is be
coming famous, and of which mine host
Reihing can well be proud.
The I. 0. 0. F. is a growing organiza
tion in Butler County, and as wo said be
fore, the Connoquenossing Lo<Tgo of But
ler has trebled its membership during tho
past eighteen months, it owns the building
in which it meets with a handsomely fur
nished room, and it always has a good
balanco in its treasury. Sinco its organi
zation eight others have been orgauized in
the county as follows:—the "Saxonia" of
Saxon burg, which also owns its own
building, has a large membership, and at
present has $4500 in its treasury; tho
"Rustic" of Prospect owns its building
and has a large membership, the "Meylert"
| of Ccntroville, aud tho lodges at Porters
ville, Middle Lancaster, Millcrstown, Ev
ans City aud Earns City.
We have no doubt but that these orders
do good and that they encourage that
friendship, consideration and honor among
the members,which if extended to all their
neighbors niako them model citizeus of the
greatest Nation and greatest Republic on
the planet. Most of them also have sick
benefits and endowments, which insure
the families of members a competence
when they are in distress, or upon their
decease.

brightest papers published in the country.
It prints all the news for a cent a day, and
it claims an average daily circulation of

they propose erecting a $200,000 building,

A nnmber of oil producers held a meet
ing in Pittsburg last Thursday for the pur
pose ol discussing the late decision of the
Supreme Court relative to the leading of
property. The producers claim that the
Court's decision is making them liable tor
blackmailing schemes, aud one case was
cited where a land owner has presented a
lull of sll2O for rent after the land was
given up as fruitless. The meeting ad
journed to again convene ut the call of the

a uniform style ol' lease will be adopted by
