PAP*. Burning of the Opera House Fifty years ago last Saturday, the brick church building on S. McKean St. was dedicated to the worship of Almighty God by the (ierinau Lutheran congregation of Hutler. Last Saturday night what woodwork re mained of the old church, together with the Opera House addition, furniture, scen ery, etc., made the largest aud hottest fire that Bntler has seen since the burning of the Court Ilouse. The old church lot and building were purchased from the congregation in ISS4, by Mr. I. J. McCandless, who organized a company, and changed it into an Opera House, at an expense of about $13,000 in all. They sold it, two years ago. to Mr. An dy Root, who has since been living in and running it. On Saturday night last, just as a Comedy Co. was preparing for its last act, one of the employes in the base ment discovered a fire raging in the large room called the "property room." He gave the alarm, which was repeated up stairs and the audience left the building without serious accident or without any great confusion, but the mem bers of the Comedy Co. lost their heads and jumped out of the windows in their stage clothes, leaving everything else be hind. That they had plenty of time to save their valuables is shown by the fact that some men picked up the piano of the or chestra and carried it out safely. One wo man of the company fainted and had to be carried, and a child that was left behind was rescued. Some boys jumped from the gallery to the floor below, and from the windows to the ground, but none ot them received serious injury. The stage part of the building being en tirely of wood, high aud dry, the flames spread rapidly, and before the water could be turned upon it, it was "past redemp tion. " Mr. Root lost the property which, we understand was all paid lor excepting $2.- 000, also his household furniture, clothing, etc., and he estimates his entire loss at about SIO,OOO, with uo insirrauce whatever, he having allowed that to expire a year ago. A slight current of air from the south carried the beat and sparks across the street to the old Miller furniture factory and the stable back of it. The stable was entirely consumed, and the furniture fac tory partially. The firemen did remarka bly good work there, and the Miller family arc under great obligations to them. How ever some valuable machinery and lumber were destroyed, and a member of the fam ily puts their loss at $2,000, with no insur ance. The residence of Mr. Jos. Balph on the south side of the building.and but a few feet from it, was saved by the liberal use of water, and by the air current, that car ried the heat in the opposite direction. A strong wind that night would have carried destruction with it, and that whole neighborhood can feel thankful that it did not exist. All the fire companies and also the Ilook and Ladder Co. were promptly on hands, and some of the boys stayed on guard all night. There was plenty of wa ter and no delay was experienced daring the progress of the flro excepting in coup ling the hose. The walls of the old church building, excepting the rear wall, which was torn down when it was changed into an Opera House, are yet standing. A citizen of the town furnishes us with the following history of the old church. THE BI'tLDIXG AND ITS BUILDER. The burning of the Opera House last Saturday night might be passed with the usual notice were it not for the associa tions connected with the bnilding, which has an interesting local history. It was the first Lutheran church erected in But ler, and was only converted to and known as an "Opera House" within the last teu years. Previous to that it was known as St. Mark's Lutheran Church. Upon a stone placed in its front wall, facing Mc- Kean street, was hewn this inscription: "Templum. Ev. Lutheranum St. Marco, inscriptum cad. MDCCCXL." Which be ing rendered into English reads, "Saint Mark's Lutheran Church, erected in the year 1540." When the present German Lutheran church at corner of Washington and Jefferson streets was built, about ten years ago, this stone was removed to and placed in that bnilding, where it can now be seen. The old church, just burned, was built under great difficulties and trials. Some of its building committee, among them the late Mr. Jacob Shaner and Jacob Walter, had their personal property levied upon by the sheriff to pay debts contracted in its building. But it was finally with its strong stone and brick walls, which yet stand. The church was dedicated on Sopt. 26, 1841, just fifty years ago from the time it was burned—Sept. 26, 1891. The late Rev. J. C. G. Schweizerbarth was its promoter and pastor, and the ac tive spirit in its erection. He came from Geruiauy to our county about 1821, and made Zelienople his homo. He was schol arly, learned and able; but his marked trait was wonderful energy. Ho visited many places and cities to raise money to build this now destroyed build ing and among them Philadelphia where ho called upon Stephen Girard for a contribution. His labors were such in this and neighboring counties that he soon had eleven Lutheran churches erected, in which he had to preach and visit as their sole pastor. It was his habit to wear a loose, flowing clerical robe,week days as well as Sunday. The one he used on weekdays was of fine blue calico and when he walked, which he did with great rapidity, this loose gown could be seen streaming in the wind behind him. He was pastor over his people here for about 28 years, ceasing his labors about 1850, and his remains lie at the church he had caused to be erected in Zelienople. Among Rev. Schweizerbarth's early mem bers here were Jacob Mechling, father of present Thomas Mechling; Jacob Shaner, father of present Ddniel Shaner; Jacob Walter, father of George Walter; John McCollough, John Oesterling, John Sorb er, now written Sarver, John Handschuh, now corrupted and put in English as Hcn shue in place of Handshoe, Isaac Yedder, now changed to Yctter, A. Buechle, now written Beighley, Peter Pflueger, now written Fleeger, Henry Young, Joseph Moser, Michael Zimmerman, and many more, descendants of whom arc still among us. J. H. X. Grove City College.

At a meeting of Council Tuesday even, ing. the grades of Center Ave. and K. Dia mond St. were again discussed at length: and more time has been taken up at Coun cil meetings since the paving of the -treets was begun iu the discussion of grades than by any other subject. The engineer has run all lines and set all enrbs between street and alley, and al ley and street on straight lines,and in this he has been sustained by the Council. The first effort made to change this was the hump made, but afterwards taken off, in front of the P. 0. bnilding; and now two changes arc requested. On E. Dia mond St. a hump is asked for and on Cen tre Ave. a depression. A change was made on E. I)i..mond St. to accomodate one property bolder, but it does not snit others; and on Centre Ave. the depression asked for would, if granted, spoil the grade of the whole block from the turn in the street to Ziegler Ave. where the paving will end. Tho Council voted to make no changes and in the language of the President, "That settles it." The Sewer Committee reported tho com pletion of tho 15-inch sewer, aud it was taken off the hands of the con tractor. Its cost is about $17,000, part of which has been paid. The sewer is said to work perfectly, and in course of time will be extended up the creek so as to accomodate the people of the "East End." The Engineer's measurement of the grad ing done by Mr. Cupps ou S. McKeaa St. was 1833j cubic yards, which at 3S cts. amounted to $096.73 which was paid; and tho Street Committeo is now getting ground to finish the bridge fill from a lot on the Southside. The Paving Committee has determined to pave W. Jefferson St. with Franklin, brick, and arrangements to that effect were completed. Mr. Osborne was paid SIOOO on account. Requests for a crossing on Etna St. und for a lire bell in West End wero referred to the proper committees. The bond of Long <fc Doyle, with ;L. R. Smith and J. M. Porter as sureties, indi vidually, in the sum of SSOOO for the in demnification of E. Jefferson St. was pre sented, accepted and ordered recorded. A bill of E. F. Hughes for three "drops" —a patented arrangement for allowing surface water to enter the large sewers— was approved. These drops were placed on the 15-inch, and one was ordered for the 24.inch, at crossing of Sullivan run. They cost $l3O each. The further dumping of stuff into the creek near the old ball-grounds was pro hibited; the telegraph and telephone poles on the Southside sidewalks are to be re moved; all the hose companies want more hose, and the firemen complain of being fooled by the whistle of the Rail engine works, etc. A Proclamation.

CkUOAOO An Episode. On Tuesday evening of this week three ! Pittsburg business men —a wholesale li quor man. a wholesale clothing man Jand a wholesale grocer—arrived in Butler by the !a»t train. They were in a jolly good hu mor, and they wended their way up street, j gripsacks in hand, joking and laughing, to I the hall of a certain business building and ! started in. The owner of the building hap pened to be standing in the doorway, and | he asked them if they had not made a mis take, but they guessed not and went on, and he. having heard some eompli iuts re garding the doings in one of hia rooms, which he had rented to a dressmaker, fol lowed them and saw them enter the room. Then he called the Chief of Police, and told him to go to that room and arrest everybody in it, and the Chief did so, aud a few minutes after the whole crowd— three men and two women were in the Justice's office, and an information was made against the dressmaker, who gives her name as K. X. Thompson, for disorder ly conduct and she was fined sl3. The liquor man paid the line, and the woman promised to vacate the premises. The ! name of the other woman who was arrest ed is McDowell, but no charge was made j against her. A third woman arrived on the scene just too late too be arrested, and stood outside the Justice's office during the hearing, and the grocer said he could not see why he should have been arrested when his girl had not come yet. By the way Esq. McAboy had an unusu ally bus;- day, Tuesday:—Early in tho morning a married woman of Butler made information against her husband for deser tion, and a warrant was issued for him; next a young widow of the west end, nam ed Graham, swore a new baby on a fly young inan of the town and he was arrested and held for court; then came the wedding of an Allegheny county couple: then two hearings in collection cases;then a charge of embezzlement preferred by a Southside butcher named Decker against his partner named Weisop and the partner had a hear ing and was committed to jail, and wind ing up that evening with the hearing in the case noted above.
