The Capture of Mills.
James F. Mills, who escaped from the
jail here, on Friday evening the 4th inst,
and who is indicted for the murder of
Peter Dugan, was captured at ilarionville.
Forest county, last Friday evening, or just
one week after his escape, and was landed
in jail here next evening. Hnndreils of
people were on the street to welcome bim
hack to Butler, and his reception was as
enthusiastic as that ever received by any
man in Butler.
lie was taken from the train at the
junction, and driven to the jail, where he
was stripped of his old clothing and giveu
new, and placed in a lower cell, which is
perhaps a tride more secure than an upper
one. His pistol was taken from him and
examined, and the discovery was made
that it was a side or rim lire, while the
cartridges in were ceutre fire, and that ac
counts for his failure to discharge it at
Allen.
Alter escaping from the officers at the
shanty up the creek, Mills hid behind a
rock, the officers passed him, he made his
way towards Millerstown that night, pass
ed through Millerstown Sunday evening,
got over the bridge at Foxburg Tuesday
night, and by traveling by night and hid
ing by day he nianagt-d to escape capture
till Friday afternoon, when at a coal sta
tion in Clarion county he asked the con
ductor of a freight train for a ride to Kaue.
The conductor was agreeable, and told
him to get into a freight car, and then
growing suspicions of the man locked him
up, and wired ahead of his capture. Ai
Marionville the train was met by Deputy
SherilT Kuhu of that county and posse:
Mills was taken in charge, the Sheriff ol
ti.is county was sent word, and Mills was
held and identified and brought back to
Butler.
His leaving jail without apparently hav
ing made any arrangements for getting out
ot town was a surprising feature of his es
cape, but that may have been on account
of a little miscarriage of pirns, as then
are reasons for believing that he expected
to escape in time to make the 7:40 train on
the narrow guage that evening, and that
he would have been met by friends at u
station this side of Millerstown; but the
Sheriff did not go out for his evening walk
as early as usual that evening, and the
prisoners did not dare risk going out until
he had left the house, hence the failure to
make that train, and as neither Mills or
Smith were acquainted with the lay of the
land here, their subsequent aimless wan
derin abont that night.
The SSOO reward offered by the Sheriff,
was divided between Conductor Thurston
and Deputy Sheriff Kuhn of Forest.Coun

Able Testimony.
With a case of Humphreys' specifics at
the expeuse of a few dollars, every family
may have in their hands a source of relii-t
and help on any emergency, and may noi
only render themselves comfortable, but
in thousands of cases effect an ultimate
cure. The following unsoliced testimonies
are to the point and convincing: Frank
A. Fry, Newport, Pa.: "There is much
virtue in Humphreys' Specifics which have
been a revelation to our family, myself
included. Often have our family said, a»
we administered doses of the precious
stuff to our little children, "it is worth its
weight in gold." There is not a piece of
lurniture more highly prized iu our bed
room, than our neat Humphreys' Spe
cifics."
V. C. Wass, Centreville. S. Dak.: "I
have used Humphreys' remedies in my
family for the past six years, and always
with good results. Individually I can sa.)
that 1 never have found anything to equal
Humphreys' Sepcific number 19 for
catarrh. It always brings speedy and
lastiug relief. You may refer any one to
me for a recommendation of your
remedies."
A. G. Earnshaw & Co., West Superior,
Wis.: "I have used Humphreys' Spe
cifics for eignt years, and find they are us
necessary iu my lamily as bread aud but
ter. I have induced all my friends to u>e
Iheui, and they are always reliable if used
in time."
I) Stewart Elliott, Coffeyville, Kansas
We have found Humphreys' Medicines to
be invaluable iu the family and no reason
able amount of money couuld induce us to
part witli our case if we could not get
another."

that evening was that of grades. Some
citizens of Brown Ave.,lst Wa£l, asked for
grade,and a profile of the wholo street was
ordered made and filed with the Clerk.
It would tave the town thousands of dol
lars to have all its streets plotted; and it
would also be a convenience to the people
who could go to the Town Clerk's office
for such information.
Several petitions were referred to their
proper Committees —A board walk was
ordered for Clay St., from the Lugiuh
Lutherarf church to Franklin St., —Burgess
lie Aboy called the attention cf Council to
a defect in the Peddling and Hawking or
dinance, and the matter was referred to
the Solicitor. —Ho also reported the col
lecting ol fines and licenses amounting to
$lOl2O. and nominated J. X. Clark for
special Police for two Weeks and the ap
pointment was confirmed.—Rev. Limberg
called th" attention of the Council to the
dangerous condition of Brady St., and a
committee was appoiuted and authorized
to take immediate action—The special
Com. on Centie Ave. reported against
paying any of the damages claimed.—
Some small bills were referred, and the
Council adjourned till next regular meet
ing night.
