says his ropes will hang a man that weighs
5001b5., and advocates giving a man two
and a half feet of a drop.
—Christmas was celebrated in all the
churches in Bntler. At the Presbyterian
an immense crowd assembled in the church
room on Christmas evening. The pro
gramme was chiefly filled by the children,
and tableaux were the foature. Perhaps
tbe most enjoyable part was an instru
mental trio by Dr. J. T. Balph and his
two daughters. At the Methodist Church
all was candy, good feeling, music, prayer,
and recitation. It was enjoyed by all uf
the hundreds present. Tbe English and
German Lutherans bad elaborate and
extensive programs aud their decorations
were beautiful. At the U. P church the
usual treat was provided. The Catholic
churches paid, as usual, chief attention to
the musin, which was very fine.
—lt may not be generally known that
silver has lately been found in Scrubgrass
twp., Yenango county, not in large
quantities, but iu very convenient shape
for gathering it. It may be woll,however,
in order to save a rush of men to the scene
of this find, to state that the silver is coun
terfeit. It was found under the leaves by
some young men who were setting their
traps in an out of the way place, about a
halt mile west of the stone Presbyterian
Church, and near what is called tbe "In
dian Rock." About s2l. in halves and
quarters was found, and it is supposed to
have belonged to men who formerly lived
in tbe neigh borhood, one of wboui was
sent to tho penitentiary for dealing in such
stuff, and another accepted Greely's ad
vice, "Go west, youug man, go west." C.
—A company of capitalists are at present
boring an immense tunnel from a point
along the Niagara river below the Falls,
through the solid rock nnder the town, a
distance of a mile or two, to a point under
their property along the river above the
Falls, and at that point they will sink an
immense shaft and pnt turbine wheels into
it which are to be moved by water from a
canal leading from the river above. By
so doing they expect to gain a force equal
to that of 120,000 horses; with which they
will operate an electric plant capable of
lighting all the cities and towns of the
United States, and also a compressed air
plant capable of running all tbe engines
within a distance of a hundred miles. It is
the rcatest and most expensive enter
prise at present underway on this conti
nent, and ifit is successful will revolution
ize the light aud motive power business
of the country.
—Few public events have boen more
successful and gratifying to its promoters
than the opening of the Opera House, last
Wednesday night, by the Elks. The play,
"A Knotty Affair" was all that could be
desired, and the large number present ex
pressed tbe greatest satisfaction at the ap
pointments and fittings of the house. The
arrangements were perfect, tbe ushering
being done by a herd of handsome "Elks,"
and their work was done with the care of
veterans. The Orchestra was, under the
leadership ol Prof. Lamb, and the music
WHS a prominent and most enjoyable
feature of the affair, and will prove a great
attraction to the Opera House. There
was some great "hustling" done by the
contractors in getting the House in order
for the Wednesday night opening. Mon
day showed a huge uncarpeted room with
everything in disorder, but by day aud
night work, aud a united and determined
affort the Scbenck Brothers,and the others
engaged, succeeded in having things in
apple pio order by Wednesday eveuing.
—The police ol Pittsburg and Allegheny
were kept busy on Christmas day on ac
count of the number ol quarrels, and these
were mostly due to drunkenness. Half a
hundred men were locked up for assaults
some of whom tbe police expected to hold
for murder. There was, also, one suicide.
A German girl living at H. B. Boyd's
house on Bcuua Vista St., Allegheny,com
mitted suicide by banging herself in the
laundry, after failing to do so by slashing
her wrists. Her case seems to have been
one of religious fanaticism, as she was iu
the best of . spirits the previous evening,
visited her friends and made them presents,
but the revival meeting-i she had been at
tending had affected her mind. Among the
dead girl's effects was found the lollowing
letter of farewell written in German: "Tomy
Dear Parents, Uncle and Aunt Gabos and
my friends: You must forgive me for
making such a dreary Christmas time for
you. lam determined to make away with
myself. I have not yet paid the messenger
who will have this letter. You will please
pay him. Mary will tell you about my
effects. Do with tbem what you will.
Forgive me, my dears, if I have wronged
yon in the past and ds not accuse any one
on account ot that which I am about to do.
It is all my own fault. I have thrown
away the mercy of God in despair, for I
have decided upon this awful step. I can
not live any longer. That is tbe judgment
of the Bible on such things, and so I look
destruction in the faco. Rather than fall
a burden on the world, I shall place my
solfbefore the Judge of judges in the
Eternal courts. My eutire life has been a
dreary desert, nothing more. Do not let
my good, dear parents grieve over this.
Death comes once, at any rate, Therefore,
I bid you all farewell. I kiss you all a
thousand times. Pardon me, lor I cannot
do otherwise. Farewell.

The Institute.
Thirty-seventh Teaohert InitijaM« >
of Butler Co. was called to order by Supd*t
MoCollough, and opened Witt prayer Ly
R«v, Small, Monday morning.
A Finance Committee was appointed,
and tho balanco of the morning was occu
pied in making the enrollment of the
present who numbered 500 ftnd
were taxed one and a halfdollars each, which
added to the fund for meeting ex
peaiat. -
That afternoon the room was crowded
with teachers and spectators. Judge
Hazen gave the teachers a hearty wel
come, and then referred to the jury system
of to-day which he considers a relict or the
past ages, and thinks the teacher* should
help to remedy by instructing their
scholars regarding it. He said that the
reading of the newspaper accounts of a
crime by men called as a jurors was taken
advantage of by the attorneys of defend
ants and by the jurors themselves to dis
qualify them from serving on important
cases, which left only the illiterate element
for such cases; such was the practice and
the law in all the states.
He thinks no employment so important
as that of the teacher, and that the teach
ers should inculcate in the minds of their
pupil* the pripolples of tight and wrong.
He referred to this readlnf of religions
books In tho schools of different localities,
and said that in law tho Common School
System was non-sectarian and non
partisan, but that the principles of
morality should not be offensive iu any
school. He oautioned the teachers that
the impressions made on the mind* 4f the
young were as lasting as life, thinks all
boys and girls should be compelled to go
to school, said that intellectual giant*
who lacked morality wore not good
citizens; wished tho teachers a pleasant
sojonrn in Butler, and bid them good day.
Prof. F. E. Enoch, of Petrolia, a son of
Herman Enoch, of Saxonburg, made the
response. He complimented the speaker
who had preceded him, said our political
and social development was tho result of
diverse forces and spontaneous move
ments. that in the North education had
been a fundamental principle from the
first, but our methods have not kept pace
with its development. Teachers Institutes
originated in New York State, had spread
all over the country and were doing a
great work, ho thanked the people of
Butler lor their warm reception and com
plemented the town in its improvements,
spoke of the advance in the arts and
sciences and said that 200,000 patents
were granted last year, and that American
machinery was encountered all over the
world; said the teacher's duties isolated
him from other teachers, but that concert
of action would improve them inorallj and
intellectually; he referred to Dr. Luc keys
criticisms on the old school books and said
they had set the teachers thinking, that
the old oral spelling was going out, and
that language reform was marching to
victory; thinks a child's faculties should
be developed harmoniously; said that one
hundred and ninety-three million dollars
are spent annually in this country on the
Public Schools as compared with ono
hundred and forty-five millions in all
Europe, and that this expenditure paid us
in making good citizens, that education
here was free to all, that the curse of gold
might destroy the virtue of legislatures,
but when it destroyed our public schools
our liberties would be gone forever, thai
there are 361,000 teachers in the United
States; that teachers should educate
themselves by reading, and that now oc
casions taught new'duties.
A recess was then taken during which
the enrollment was completed,and the Snp't
si ated to the teachers that a report of their
attendance would be furnished to each
Board of Directors in the county; after
which the regular exercises as set torth
in the program were taken up*
During the session of Tresday Mr. E. E
McCall, spoke against corporal punishment
in schools and also against adopting a code
of rules. His arguments were good.
Mr. J. W. Humphrey spoke of the teach
ers opportunities for self imprvement.
Which he thinks are many. His address
was well prepared, and his delivery excel
lent.
Maggie Crawford,iu a pleasing essay, ad
vocated an abundance of good literature in
the Public Schools.
The lecture,that evening,by Dr. John B.
DeMotte, was one of the best ever deliv
ered in Butler. He gave his audience an
idea of the effort now being made to de
velop electrical force, which was interest
ing; and followed that by some exception
ally pointed remarks on morality. His
closing sentence "Have a reverence for
yourself, will probably be remembered by
all present.
On Wednesday morning Mr. Frank
Knoch took tbe place of T. H. Eiinesatthe
informal ipeeting. and introduced the sub
ject of language which was discussed by
Prof. Mackey, Lensner and others.
Howard Painter advocated the teaching
of the causes and effects of historical
events rather than the dry facts, aud made
a very good argument.
G- W. Kennedy illustrated the rules ot
primary arithmetic, and G. I Wilson spoke
of the opportunities the teacher has of do
ing good iu connection with his teaching.
The Professional instructors this year are
good, the teachers speaking especially of
Dr. White and Miss Grit?wold, and all tbe
teachers who have taken part have done
well.
The whistling match that evening by
tbe Eellogg Co., was held in the new
Opera House.
Clarence Caldwell presided at the in
formal meeting of Thursday morning,
and the subjects discussed all appertained
to practical teaching.
The directors meeting is being held this
(Thursday) afternoon, and we will make a
note of it in next paper.
The Institute has been a very successful
one.

LEGAL NEWS.
AS TO LICKSBE.
A dispatch from Pittsburg, dated Mon
day, says:
In distributing blank petition? for liquor
licenses tbe Clork of the Court discovered
that the last State Legislature had amend
ed the wrong law, thereby endangering
the chances for every applicant for license.
By a technical blunder no end of confus
ion 5s threatened to license applicants and
License Judges throughout the State.
On June 19, 1891, the Legislature pass
ed an act intending to amend the Brooks
law, to allow saloon keepers to hare
bondsmen from any part of the county in
stead of ward or township.
The amendment was to the Act approved
May 24. 1887, whereas the Brooks law was
approved May 13, 1887. The Act amend
ed was one providing for wholesale liquor
licenses and, as a result, the Judges can
refuse all license applications because they
do not coaform to the law.

The case of Chas. Rebhnne vs Butler
borough for damages for the opening of
Howard St. is the first on the list for
January term. -
Is it not about time that, the so-called
"Pekins Detective Agency" of Pittsburg
was wiped out of existanceT Last week
the time of the Lawrence county court wa*
occupied from Tuesday noon until Tburs
: day night in hearing the evidence agaiust
two Italians who had been in jail for about
two months and who were charged with
attempting to wreck a train on tbe E. <fc P.
R. R. The prosecution was brought on
the strength of evidence furnished by the
Perkins Agency. At the trial last wi ek
members of Mr. Perkins force swore pos
itively that the accused Italians had con
fessed to them that they had placed the ob
Btraction on the track. Ou the other h and
good and reliable citizens gave evidence
that the prisoners could not speak, mnch
less understand the English language.
After nearing all the evidence the jury, to
the satisfaction of all fair-minded people
who had paid any attention to the case,
returned a verdict of not guilty. We have
been inakiug some inquiries into the
methods employed by Mr. Perkins' corps
of detectives, and if one half is true that is
charged against them, their proper place
is in the workhouse. It seems that the
services of "John Barleycorn" are frequent
ly called upon by these alleged detectives
in their efforts to extort confessions from
their victims. From the present outlook
some of Mr. Peikins gang are likely to
have justice meted out to them before
Judge Qazen completes his present term
of court.—yew Castle Guardian.
At Sew Castle, Monday, Ed. Shaffer,
one of the boodlers, was released from jail
upon payment of $4 50, —$150 of which
was costs. Downing and Tate will proba
bly be released next week.
In Pittsburg, Monday, an execution was
issued vs. W. P. Griffith for $22,000 at suit
of Robert Allen Sr., Mr. Griffiths account of
the mattter is as follows. —"I knew noth
ing of the proceeding until to-day when a
friend informed of me the judgment enter
ed against me. The suit was filed and the
summons served while I was in Idaho. The
summons were mislaid and forgotten until
I made inquiries for it. I have instructed
my attorney, W illis J. McCook, to begin
proceedings to have the suit opened so
ihat I may make a defense
••In March, 1890, when I drilled my first
well at Wild wood, I made an optioualeon
tract with Mr. Allen for forty-four farms
in Butler connty, on any one or all of
which I might drill for oil. It was not
obligatory upon me to accept any of these
farms, and as they were not oil farms I
<1 id not close any of the options. Tne op
tions lapsed in September. Now Mr. Al
len simply means to try to force me to
fulfill a contract which I am not bound to
carry out. His sait for $22,000 is based
on the assumption that by my fail-ire to
close the options he has been damaged to
the extent of SSOO for each farm. He ask
ed me ouce what I was going to do in the
case, and I told him 'nothing,' as they
were not oil farms. He did not then say
anything about suing me. I am advised
that I was not bound to accept any of the
farms. We will let the court determine
that "

ney, also issued an execution against P.

employed Messrs Forquer, McQuistion,
Thompson and McCandless to defend
James. Judge Fullerton of New York is
an uncle of the Mills boys and has been
communicated with. The other members
of the family are scattered all over the
country; the mother, a widow, living at
Bloomfield. N. Y.
On Tuesday afternoon of last week the
two men hired a rig at Petetsville and
dro-.-e to Renfrew, where they were seen
drinking together; they left there at 4
o'clock, but returned aud attended a danc*
in the Hall, and did not again loave the
place till towards morning.
On their way back to the Welsh farm,
they seem to have quarreled, whether about
a woman as we have heard hinted, or as to
who was the better man, which seems to
have boon a matter of standing dispute be
tween them, is not known, and they were
probably out of their buggy as their clothes
were covered with mud when they return
ed. They put up their rig and then went
to a boiler house on the Christie lease, and
were there about 4 o'clock; Dagan tested
tho water and in doing so awakened Hugh
Blair, who had charge of that boiler house,
and Blair says they stopped and talked
with him awhile, both seeming to be in a
good humor and neither very drunk. The
two men left together and Blair went to
sleep again; but Mills returned soon after
aud complained to Blair that Dagan had
followed him to his boiler house aud was
afraid to go to bed for fear he(Mills)would
kill him. Mills sat and talked to Blair for
some time complaining of Dugan and oc
casionally tapping tho floor with a hammer
he had in his hand, and, according to
Blair, finally started up saying, "Say,
Hugh, I'm going down aud kill that son of
a b ." Blair had no idea that Mills
meant what he said, and rolled over as
though to go asleep, and Mills talked
awhile longer and then left.
After leavijg Blair's boiler house, Da
gan weut to his own (or he may have first
followed Mills as Mills told Blair), tried
the water guage and then laid down on a
mattress on the floor between two neigh
bor boys named Dilliman, whom he had
left jn charge of the luiiler house; aud
weut to sleep never to awake. The elder
of the two boys awakened whon he came
in, and was soon alter again awakened by
pounding; saw a man leaving the boiler
house, juu-ped up and went to the door,
ami saw Mills as he passed the gas jet
leaving the premises and carrying a ham
mer. The boy closed th« door aud again
laid down, but discovered that Dugan's
head was covered with blood, and ran
home and gave the alarm. Tnis was be
lore daylight of Wednesday morning.
The news of the murder spread rapidly
and Sheriff Brown was sent for, and he
went there, and found Mills quietly sleep
ing in a boiler house on the Christie lease,
and arrested him. Mills expressed sur
prise at his arrest, and Said he had parted
with Dugan at the edge ot the woods.
Dugan presented a terrible appearance
as he lay on the mattress. The hammer
had pierced his skull in two
places —one just back of his left eye and
the other over his left ear. His
face was covered with blood aud his
clothes with mud. E*q. Ripper of Evans
City was present and he, by direction of
the Sheriff, took charge of the body and
prepared it for burial.
Esq. Weis of Petersville, that afternoon
enipaueled a jury composed of Gus Gries
bach, J. H. DufJ'ord, .1. C-- McCandless, E.
Daubeuspecfk Wm. Isanrberton aud Wm.
McKenua, aud examined several witnesses
and among them tl/e two Dilliman
boys, the elder of whom positively identi
fied Mills as being the man who loft the
boiler house with a hammer in his hand.
The jurors examined the body aud re
ported that Dugau came to his death in
the boiler house of Griesbach & Co's well
No. 5 on the H. Welsh larui, about 3 a.m.
or later of Dec. 23. IS9I and recommended
the arrest of James F. Mills.
Thursday afternoon the County Detec
tive maue a formal information against
Mills, cbargiug him with the murder, be
fore Esq. Me A boy and Mills was taken be
fore the Justice aud asked if he wanted a
hearing, to which he replied that it was
no use, and he was then committed lor
trial.
