—Church festivals aro very successful
this year.
—A lady told me the other day a
painful little incident relating to the wear
ing of birds on your bonnets and hats. I
will try and give her'own words. She said:
"One day our pastor said (during serv
ice) that when he was in Florence, a lady
came to him and said: Do come with me
and hear those birds sing, Ob such mourn
ful notes?' There was a room full of birds
in very small cages, and these birds were
blind, they had their eyes put out. Iu the
night their owners tako them outside the
city and hang their cages in trees. The
trees are then smeared with tar. These
birds keep up their pitiful singing and other
birds kt6 attracted to their cages, and they
get stuck on the tar, and are caught
and their eyes put out. And these birds
are killed and sent to America for ladies to
wear on their bonnets! And I looked
around the congregation to see what ladies
had birds 011 their bonnets, and I was glad
there was none on mine, and 1 don't think
I can ever wear a bird again.,'— Wide

Return of "Bob" Croxicr.
Thirty years ago George Crozier and his
family lived in a small frame house on
what is now the C. Duffy lot, and which
faced E . North street, just opposite the
present residence of J. 1). Mc.lunkin, Esq.
and his shop was a two story building at
the alley corner, built of mud and stone«.
The property belonged to Mrs. Crozier who
was a sister of James K earns, Sr. ami who
had inherited it. There were two children
W. Robert and Mary Jane.
"Boh,"as the boys called him ran away
from home, entered tho army and was
never heard of again; the mother died and
Mr. Cr.izier took out letters on the estate,
sold the property and is said to have paid
Mary Jane her sbaro.
Mr. Crozier moved to Indianapolis where
he engaged in business and lost bis money;
anJ Mary Jane kept house lor bi in till be
remarried, when sho went to relatives liv
ing East.
Mr. Crozier died some years ago; and a
few days ago our puople, who remembered
hira, were surprised to find "Bob" on our
streets. He has assumed the name of W. R.
Boyd; will tell nothing of during the
the pa»t twenty-seven years, and is said to
have the papers showing his interest in the
Duffy property, and also in the tract north
of town now owued by Esq. McGinley,
with him, and to have employed counsel to
recover it. His interest in the tract north
of town is said to come through an I'ncle.
If the matter gets into Court,it will make
an interesting ease.
Fatal Accident in Clinton Twp.
Xick Wiland an oil well driller whose
home is said to be near Coylcsvillo was
killed by a remarkable explosion at the tc.it
well now being drilled near Clinton Church,
Tuesday night.
Our information regarding tho affair is
not from first hands, but we understand
thai an old oil-barrol containing oil and
water was standing near the forgo of the
well; that Nick placed a lighted lamp upon
it; that is exploded, and that one of the
•taves struck Nick on the head and frac
tured bis skull.
Nick's brother and others wbo heard the
explosion ran to tho derrick and found
Nick lying on the boardwalk, yet alive,
but be died in a few minutes.
Tbero is something mysterious about the
affair.

is an excellent production.
—The Pennsylvania Kailroad Company
is preparing to establish electric light
plants by which the whole line of the roads

—Fishermen should be careful to note
the section of the game laws which says
that no black bass under six inches in
length shall be taken from the water. If
such a fish is hooked it must be thrown back
into the water.
—DeYoe, the weather prophet of New-
Jersey, is a pretty good guesser. In bis
bulletin of last week he predicted ex
tremely hot weather for Sunday aDd Mon
day of this week, and a storm for Tuesdaj",
and it all came to pass.
—A Philadelphia woman in a mortal
illness became insane, called for her will

opposition.
—lf you are fond of showing your

They only weigh five tons each, are forty
feet long and two and a half wide, were
made by t'arneige J- Co., coat {s3so each
and will support the ceiling of Armory
Hall, which the Schenck Bros, are build
ing.
—The paving of Main street from the
Wick HOUBO on the North to the Pittsburg

small piece adjoining the bridge, and the

line, aud killed a horse valued at $l5O, and
insured for SIOO. The horse was struck
in the back and instantly killed, but fonr
other horses in stalls near to it were unin
jured.
—Canned fruits, even with the increased
duty on tin, will not be increased in price
this year. Such another crop was never
before known. 'J'lie canneries in Balti
more are utterly unable to handle the Iruit
chipped to them. Ten thousand bnshels
of cherries in one lot were rejected for
want of capacity.
—At the meeting of the School Board of

—The festival given by tho Young Hel
pers' Society of the L'. P. Church of Mt.
Chestnut, last week, was a very enjoyable
affair and netted about $«o. Some young
men of Butler rode out 011 their wheels one
eveniug ui.d attended the festival, aud as
they left for homo that night they were
stoned by some boys who could not be de
tected in the dark. The people of the
town and vicinity greatly regretted the oc
currence.
—The various titles given the Creator
often excite surprise. In the usual run
of K. of b. memorial resolutions, lie is
called tho "Great Master Workman," and
KO is Terence V. Powderly. But, generaly
speaking, the the appellations given the
Almighty are insignificant in comparison
with those borne by tho head officials of
soino of our secret societies — Ex.
—A few days ago a colored man who
was walking on the track of the West l'enn
near Allegheny was knocked off tho track
and killed by a down train; and one day
last week the afternoon train down from
Butler killed a girl who was walking on
the track, and wbo stepped from one track
to the other to allow tho train approaching
her from the front to pass, but was struck
by another from behind.
—We had the pleasure, last week, of
being shown through the greatly improved
Williard House, and were genuinely aston
ished at the scalo the change had been
made under. The massive oaken furniture
of the office, the many and novel arrange
ments for comfort in tho dining room; the
costly furniture of the sleeping rooms—all
these appealed to our admiration. There
is room after room with solid oak or cherry
furniture, Brussels carpet and lace cur
tains. Electric lights and gas in every
room, add to the comforts. There are
electric bells in all the rooms, and the new
return call system is used, which is such a
great improvement over tho old style of
having but the button in your room. Mr.
Iteiching certuinly deserves credit for the
progressive spirit he has shown in the man
agement of the "Willard." It is now one
of the most imposing buildings of the town
and its appointments, as we have noted,
are equal to any. Its cuisine is among the
best and altogether it is a hotel to be
proud of. Mr. Adam Haffuer was the con
tractor for the new building.
—The old L". I". church at the corner of
Jefferson and McKean street is being dis
mantled, and it will bo replaced by what
will be the handsomest and most costly
church building in the town. Tho new
church is tu bo built of the white Berea
stone; and will havo a frontage of 128 feet
on Jefferson St. with the principal entrance
and tower 011 that street, and near the
centre of the fioutage. The church and
Sunday school rooms will be on ono floor,
with a curtained doorway between them,
and can bo thrown into one room if neces
sary. The church room w ill be next to
the street corner and will be 78x58 feet
with pulpit on South side and seats facing
it. The Sunday school room will occupy
tho other end of the building and be :isxso
feet with class rooms 15 feet square and
glass partitions. There will also be an en
trance to the church-room at the corner.The
ceilings will be "open"—like tho ceiling
of the German Lutheran church-room. The
estimated cost of the building is $25,000.
Another Shooting Affair.
The la.-t two shooting affairs in this
county did not furnish Quarter Sessions
tasee, but the one now in hands will.
Adam Mininger. ol Jefferson township,
under arrest for shooting his brother John.
Adam and John have been bad friends
for several rears, or ever since Adam pro
secuted John for stealing one of his
which prosecution caused John to serve a
long term in the penitentiary.
Adam lives on the old place in Jefferson
twp. and John has lately made a living
buying and telling junk, with hea ' quar
ters at Great Celt.
They were both in town last Saturday
afternoon, but w hen Adam saw John in
the crowd he slipped out of town, and
went home,and while he and his wife (who
was born a Harbison and who was former
ly the wife of Col. Suodgrass, of Butler),
were in the yard milking the cows John
rode np and asked permission to stop and
feed his horse.
Adam refused and called John a son of a
gun; his wife joined in the refusal and
John said he was not talking to her. John
called Adam names, and Adam urew
bis revolver find began shooting at John,
who was near him. The fir»t
shot struck John in the right shoulder,
pierced downward and cannot be removed.
The second shot struck Adam in
the loft cheek and lodged near his nose,
the third struck near the left ear and lodg
ed against the skull, the fourth struck the
back of his neck and lodged in the flesh,
and the fifth hit the back of his head
and traveled under the scalp to a spot just
above his forehead. All the ballets except
the first have been removed.
The pUtol was what is called a liriti-li
Bull-dog, a cheap affair, of little p-jwer, or
John would have been instantly killed.
It contain* seven chambers, and was re
loaded after the shooting.
The shooting was done about half pa.-t
seven o'clock, and two hours later Adam
came to Butler, met policeman Herd man
and told him of the affair, and llerdman
turned him over to C<>. Dectective Allen.
He also showed the pistol with which he
bad done the shooting, aud Allen took
possession <.f it, and told Adam he would
have to lock him up, at which Adam was.
or pretended to be, greatly astonished.
His intention in coming to Butler seems
to have been to swe-nr his life against John.
The Sheriff, Dist. Att'y, Co. Detective,
and Chief of Police visited the scene next
day; and on Monday E:-q. McAboy and
the Co. Detective went down and took
John's deposition as to the facts of tl
case. 'The shooting was witnessed by
Mrs. Adam Mininger and her son, Col.
Snodgrass, Jr.; her sister, Mrs. Wilt, of
Allegheny, and her daughter, who are
visiting there, Mr. Anderson and Mr.
Cooper.
On Wednesday Adam was given .1 hear
ing before Esquire McAboy and was held
for Court 011 the charge of shooting with
the intent to kill.
John asto.i ished everybody by appear
ing at the hearing, cleanly shaven and
dressed in a new suit of clothes, and with
nothing apparent from which to judge of
what he had gone through excepting that
a piece of cotton was sticking in the hole
just above his forehead, where the bullet
had been cut out. If any of the regular
armies of the Earth want a recruit for their
Invincibles they should send for hiin.
On Thursday Adam gave bail iu SISOO,
with Mr. Caldwell as surety, and was dis
charged from jail.

The session of the Council. Tuesday eve
ning. was a short one, probably due to the
sultry weather, and the Coifhcil for ouce in
months, adjourned before the bars closed.
Mr. Phillip Danbenspeck ,-ent in a com
munication notifying the Council that they
had laid a sewer through a certain lot of
his, near the Pittsbnrg bridge, to the great
damage of himself and the lot, and that
damages would accrue.
The matterof the Hose Company appro
priations wa* brought up but not acted
upon, and the matter of the purchase of
new hose was also held over till next meet
ing.
Mr. Slater had not yet been paid his
damages on account of the assessments not
being collected, but a motion to draw a
warrant in his favor for SISOO prevailed,
and as tl.at is the end of the affair, one of
the Council suggested the singing of the
Long Metre Doxology.
Mr. Forquer of the Orphans' Home
drainage committee made the report, but
as that part of the town has not been
sewered the Council can do nothing at
present, even though the threatened suits
are entered.
A conpl.-iint regarding the tauiping ol a
ditch difor water pipe, brought that
whole ml ject up, r.i.d several complaints
were voiced. The most flagrant case
seemed to be that of a ditch dug across
Centre Ave. by Mr. Stewart, one of the
licensed plumbers, and a motion to revoke
his license came within one vote ol pre
vailing; then a motion to cite all the
licensed plumlx rs to appear before Council
nest Tuesday i vinicg carried, also a
motion to notify. Mr. Stewart to tamp that
particular ditch ss per ordinance.
It was also moved and seconded that the
Street Commissioner be ordered to follow
up the Water Company, and tamp all
their ditches, the cost of same to bo an
offset in the bill fur water.
Then the matter of connections for out
side closets was again gone over, and some
pressing cases cited, but the Council will
not risk ruining the whole system by
allowing closets that are not flushed to be
drained into the sewers. Outside closets
built with basins and connected with both
the water and sewer pipes, and heated in
winter so as to prevent freezing are all
right, and none other.
A Union sewer-well was suggested for
one case in the South Side but they are
very dangerous things.
Some small bills were approved; an
explanation regarding the non-appearance
of certain "Ls" foi water plugs was made,
and the Council adjurned till next Tuesday
evening.
New Sidewalk.
Probably the best side walk now being
put down is that fronting the square oc
cupied by Hitter <t Ralston,B. C. ifuselton,
Jos. AVuller and L. Stein <fc Son. The ex
cavation made for it was 20 inches deep,
and this was filled with 14 inches of
broken stcne; 4 inches of crushed granite
mixed with cement and sand, and two
inches of a mixture of cement and
finely crushed granite. This is said
to make the most durable side
walk yet invented. The price is 35 cts.
per square foot, and Long it Dojic are
the contractors.
A.M. Heiber next door, started to put
in a brick walk but may change to cement.
Frank Kemper, John Bickel, Harvey
Colbert and M. IJuchele are putting down
brick.
John Campbell is putting down brick
an expects to build in the near future.
Dr. Balph, l>ick Hughes, Henry Miller
and I)r. Zimmerman have put down heavy
stone, which costs 35 cts. per square foot.
Mrs. Aland, Sarah McQoistion and Jacob
Boos have put diM'ii brick; and the Litea
miller House has contracted for stone.
Geo. Ketterer has put down brick.
Out on West Pearl St. C. I>. Greenlee
put down a live foot light stone sidewalk
at a cost of SI.OO per lineal foot.
We renew our suggestion to our citizens
to repave by the block, and do it im
mediately.
