NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES In Fayette Co. last Wednesday a man was arrested for a murder committed nine teen years ago. A member of the Ohio legislature and an escaped prisoner from the state penitentiary are suspected of being one and the same person, and an investigation is in progress. Three Wheeling girls went to Pittsburg last Friday to meet and marry three young fellows that their parents objected to, but found the young fellows, who had pre ceded them, on a glorious drunk, and three engagements were declared off. Xear Parkersbnrg, W. Va., a cow be longing to an employee of the Camden Consolidated Oil Co. drank fifteen gallons of crude oil and she died. In Toby Twp., Clarion, last Wednesday, a son of a Mr. Wilman who has been work ing ou an oil well near Petrolia, was killed by the falling in of a coal mine. Among the neighbors who gathered at the mine were Mr. and Mrs. Stitt, and Mrs. Stitt went to the home of the deceased to break the news to them. Then she disappeared and a search in the dark revealed her body lying on the roadside, she having died suddenly while on her way home. The Sandy Lake Saving's Bank has resumed business. Grove City College is to have a Military Department, with a U. S. Army officer at its head. Robbers entered »he house of a blind widow named Xorton residing near East Urady, a few nights ago and took from her SIOOO in bank notthat sho had concealed in her clothing. A Kittanning man went into a marble shop the other day and ordered his own tombstone. A new coal works will be started near Butler Junction this spring. it Williamsport a lot of young hood lums have been getting into trouble for malicious mischief. It is said that the causes which lead to the arrest of the boys were the outgrowth of the "loafing shanty," a place where young boys are in the habit of meeting for the purpose of playing cards, reading obscene books, learning to smoke cigarettes and forming other bad habits which naturally follow in such cases. Up in ifuncy a justice of the peace was fined SSO for taking illegal fees, and the verdict has caused consternation among justices and aldermen who have been in the habit of fixing their own fees without any regard to law. The school teachers of Lawrence county favor the plan of furnishing text books at the expense of the State. A group of six Siamese children are ex pected to arrive at New "Wilmington soon to attend Westminster College. Luzerne county is probably the only one in the State which can boast of a tip stave doing steady duty in court who is worth $50,000. A boy aged four years, son of John Sav age, of Lawrence couhty, ate a pint of par ched corn, swallowing it without chewing the grains. A physician had to perform a surgical operation to save the boys life. The people of Emlenton have donated and sent nine barrels of serviceable goods and S4O in money to relieve the destitution in Nebraska. The Emlenton News rightly says that "the entire showing speaks well for the town." The court of ludiana county came to a very sudden end on Tuesday afternoon of last week. The borough of West Indiana had brought suit against certain dealers in phosphate for nuisance, alleging that the odors were obnoxious to citizens. W. D. Anthony, one of the defendants, let slip, while testifying that he had a day or two before called one of the jurors in the case to assist him in making some important measurements bearing on the suit. His suprise on learning that he had offended, in fact annulled the court, was refreshing to see. The jury wheel being exhausted, court had to adjourn for the term, leaving a big document of unfinished business. There seems to be no end of troable for the Delanraters. Last Friday members of the late banking firm and the cashier were again arrested on complaint of G. W. Wit ter, of Linesville, who had a despositof $617 in the bank. He brings suit under the acfrof May 9, 1889. He charges tbem with embezzlement, in receving his money on deposit at a time when the firm should have known itself insolvent. The Delmat ers gave bail in SI,OOO to appear at court. In Pittsburg, Monday,a woman wound a clothes-line around her drunken husband, and then drove him to the police station, with a shovel. Employees of the P. & W. Railroad shops in Pittsburg, to the number of 200 quit work last Monday. In Scranton recently Judge Connolly made a decision that will assuredly meet with a great deal of favor all over the State. Two Hungarians applied for natur alization papers, and in the course of their examination it was discoveryd that they could not speak English and they couldjnot understand English when spoken to tbem. The court was quick to notice this fact, and it called a halt on the proceedings. A little investigation satisfied Judge Connolly that the men were not fit to become citizens of the United States, and he peremptorily refused to naturalize them. At the same time he took occasion to remark that men who had so little interest in a country that they did not learn its language were not qualified to become citizens of that coun try. The court was right. Tho man who comas to this country with his foreign jargon and refuses to make oven an endeav or to learn our language has no interest in common with us and he should not be ad mitted to citizenship. Too often these men seek citizenship not for the honor it bears, but with an idea that it will bring tbem some advantage in a financial way. They are not patriotic—they are mercenary. The people of the State will regard Judge Connolly's action with a great deal of satis faction, and hope it will be emulated by other courts. Tho big macaroni factory at 1248 Penn ave, Pittsburg was burned last Friday night—loss $45,000. The town of Kittanning is to have a real summer resort. Some enterprising capital ists have purchased a large tract of land just outside the town and will erect a large hotel, with all the modern improvements. Rats killed a hog belonging to Jacob Hessinger, of Indiana Co., the other night. The porker was so fat it could not get up and the rats gnawed a hol.e in its throat, cutting his hog£hip's jugular vein. There were 4ti applications for liquor li cense in Venango county, and last week Judge Taylor granted all but two of them, which were held over on account of some irregularity in the bonds. Franklin got 12. At the Farmers' Institute at Atgien, Pa., tin old gentleman by the name of Jeffries stated that ono sentence, uttered l>y Horace Greeley nearly half a century ago. had much to do with shaping bis life. It was this: "Remember, young men, that the most dangerous moment in on; in dividual's life is when he concludes to try to get a dollar in some way without doing anything for it." The story of a strange affliction comes from Rice's Landing, Washington county. Less than a year ago the little son of John Rock fell, and soon after that a hard, cal loused lump appeared on his side. Xo at tention was paid to it and it grew rapidly, until to-day it is really as large as the lw>y himself. The best of medical experts have been called, but they »ay that they have met with nothing like it in all their books or praotice. They say the growth does not resemble a tumor, and are at a loss to di agnose the remarkable case. Meanwhile the growth is becoming too strong for the boy and he is likely to die at any time. There is a curious stite of affairs in the Presbyterian Church at Xew Bedford, in this State, and all because the book of reg ulations governing this congregation con tains a law that a man elected must be the husband of a wife and having his children in subjection. At the annual meeting of the Xew Bedford congregation, which took place recently, William Wright was elect ed a deacon. After the installation of the deacons took place it was discovered that, according to this rule, he was not eligible to election, he having neither wife nor children. Wright, who is a fine old gent leman, is greatly vexed over the situation, and will likely resign. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company's Tours to the Sunny South. There was a time, not many years ago, when the first cold snap drove the seeker after more genial climat* to Florida, and this meant several days »f tedious journey ing; but to-day nothing is thought of it whatever, for, through the medium of the series of winter tours,under the personally conducted system of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Jacksonville and points even more southern are reached in com paratively few hours, while en route the traveler is enjoying the comforts and delights of a home. Already one of the tours has gone, and four remain to be run from Sew York to Jackionville, as follows: Fel ruary 3d and 17th, March 3d and 17. Tourists will travel in Pnllman Palace Cars in charge of a Tourist Afent and Chaperon.

The round-trip rate, including Pullman accommodations and meals eit route in dining car attached to the train, is $50.00 from Xew York, $48.00 from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. Tickets will be sold from all principal stations on the Pennsylvania Railroad lyttem to a con necting point with the special at pro portionately low rates. For detailed in formation and descriptive itinerary ap plication should be made to ticket offices. Scientific American, Etc.

A New Roller Mill in Butler. I wish to inform my friends and patrons in Butler county that 1 now have my new wheat-flour mill in full operation. It has just been completed by the Edward P. Allis Co., of Mil waukee, Wie.,and the work was done under the supervision of Mr. S. J. Bollinger, one of their most able fore men. The machinery was all shipped from Milwaukee, and the old machinery of the mill was entirely taken out and the new substituted, I now have a complete mill, and I can give the people of Butler and vicinity a brand of flour, manufac tured at home and of Butler county wheat, that will stand any test, and compare with any that is shipped to our town. I am able to do what I say and all I ask of you is to give my flour a fair trial.
