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.

Grades, Grades, Grades.
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.

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.
