Oil Note*.
Abram Wheeler, of Mcadville, has in
vented a device by which crude oil can be
used for fuel at a small cost. The oil is
brought into a chamber and converted into
gas; the gas goes to ono end of the burner
and at the point of combustion is mixed
with steam and air. A test was made a
few days age and proved highly satisfact
ory. The invention can be applied to
stoves, etc., arid the inventor is firm in the
belief that it can be used on locomotives.
The cost of fuel for a cookstove will be less
than 5 cents for twenty-four hours. Lima
crude oil can be used, and is run through a
pipe one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter.
Mr. Wheeler has applied for a patent and
a company has been formed for its manu
facture.

The County Auditors finished their
labors last Friday morning and filed their
report with the l'rothonotaiy. On Thurs
daj- they held a court with the old Co.
Comini's and some others as witnesses.
The Report will not be published this
year.
The bridge case was not ended till Satur
day evening. and then the Jury went out
and stayed out till 11 P. M. when they
agreed upon a verdict and scaled it. Mon
day noon they came in and reported it but
as "they had not counted up the interest
involved they were sent out again to do
that, and when they returned their figures
read $15,210.40 in favor of the bridge Co.
which is about half of what they asked.
On Monday noon of this week Court
reassembled and took up the horse case of
Caleb Atkins of West Deer twp. Allegheny
Co. \s Harrison McCandless of Centre twp.
Caleb bought a horse for SIBO from Harrison
some time ago, but he hadn't gone far with
him until he discovered that he was "wind
broken," and then he took him back and
demanded his money. Harrison refused
to refund and Caleb tied the horse to his
barn door, left him there and brought suit,
and the jnry says that he shall refund with
interest. The interesting feature of the
case was that although the veracity of one
of the witnesses was impeached by a
number of his neighbors, his evidence
seemed to hold good.
Two of the County Auditors joined in
taking ten days time off ex-Commissioner
Duncan and five days off ex-Commissioner
Hutchison, and in refusing to allow a bill
that paid by these two Comm'rs.
Everybody knows that the Co. Comm'rs
are the most harried officers in the Court
House and that they were the poorest paid,
until the passage of the late Act of As
sembly increasing their pay. The two ex-
Comm'rs named claimed that they were
entitled to the extra pay for extra work
done, and in the other case the fact of their
having signed the warrant showed that
they bad authorized the work being done.

two ribs broken.
Isabel Young, a daughter of Uugh
Young of Clearfield twp. near Kattigan P.
O. fell into Branehcreek, last Monday
and was drowned. The school
children were in the habit of
crossing the creek on the steam box, and
she had often done so, but the high water
that evening must have disconcerted her.
Her body was washed down stream and
was not recovered for some time. She
was a bright girl, and her parents have the
sympathy of the community.
Ur. Lyman Billiard of Washington twp.
met with a severe accident at the saw mill
on bis farm laxt Saturday noon. His cloth
ing was caught in the belting of the large
shaft, and he was whirled around, and
had his right arm broken in two places,
and three ribs broken before the mill
could be stopped. Nearly all his clothing,
also, was torn from his person. He was
carried home, the broken bones were set,
and his physicians think he will recover.

A New Roller Mill in Butler.
I wish to inform my friends and
patrons in Butler county that I now
have my new wheat-flour mill in full
operation. It has just been completed
by the Edward P. .AHis 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.
I also manufacture the best of
corn-meal, rye-flour and buckwheat
flour, and hoping to receive a share of
your trade, I am, Most Respectfully,
GEOBOE WALTER.
