LEGAL NEWS.
Two Juries were out when we went to
press last Thursday afternoon, —both -hoot
. mg cases,—man shooting and dog shoot
ing—and that afternoon the Jury on the
man shooting came in with a verdict
1 of not euilty and the county to pay the
1 coets: while in the dog shooting case, pro
ceedings should hare been begun in the
Civil Court for damages instead of in the
Criminal Court for cruelty to animals, as
the defendant had shot and killed the dog.
and the Court instructed the Jury to find
a verdict of not guilty and to place the
costs, and they placed them oa the county.
The attorneys' interested always try to
get some fan out of a dog-shooting ca-e.
and they generally succeed. Out in Illi
nois, lately, a bull-dog bit a man on the
hip; the man sued the dog's owner for dam
age : the law there require? that the dog
be proved to be of a vicious character, but
&sihi?wa» the dog's first offense, that
could.nct bo done, and the prosecutor, lost
his soil.
However, that dog's character is now
established, and his next bite, will cost his
owner something.

The End of the War.
So far as the Butler Company is con
cerned the War at Homestead ended last
Monday. The 15th Regiment broke camp
that morning, and had all their things on
board the special train provided for them
before noon, but the train moved slowly
and did not reach Butler until after 4 r.M.
The Regiment disembarked here, horses
were provided for the officer?, and the
regimen: formed and marched up Main
•Street—eight compar.i(of about fifty men
each, and they marched well and looked
well. General Wiley is quoted as saying
that this regiment from the liighe-t officer
to the lowest private, have shown them
selves in poii.t of military discipline and
general deportment the finest body of men
he has ever been called upon to command.
The tomn was decorated, the people
were out. and the soldiers pleaded
with their reception. After the parade trie
regiment had lunch at the depot, furnished
by the Butler Co..and then the -even com
panies went on up the road, while the But
ler company repaired to its hall, sod was
disbanded.
The 16th Regiment remains in camp and
is considered to be fully able to cope
with what spirit ol outlawry remains in
Homestead. The outbreak there was one
of the most violent in the history of the
state, and it was accompanied by deeds of
cruelty that have not been told. A Pitt«-
barg newspaper reporter recently told a
friend what he saw at Homestead during
the riots. He got there on the day the
strikers bombarded the barges oa which
the Pinkerton men were confined, and l.e
saw things that have not, as yet, appeared
in print. Said he: "I reached Homestead
on the afternoon of tho day the fighting
took place, and, of course, I was regarded
as a suspicious character. I had been
sent to write up the strike, and I had my
credentials, so when the advisory commit
tee tackled mc and put me through a
course of catechising I convinced them
that I was all right, and 1 was permitted
to roam about in search of news. I went
up to the river bank where the l'inkertons
were moored ia their barge and .-aw the
strikers fire dynamite and things at them,
and then I got up on a converter with a
lot of other newspaper men to watch tho
outcome. A white flag was hoisted from
the boat, and in a few minutes the nego
tiations for a surrender were completed.
The Pinkerton men were inarched up a
steep incline to tho top of the bank, near
the edge of which was a section of pipo
about three feet in diameter. Planks had
been placed against either side of the pipo
and up ono side o the top and do« n the
other to the ground the Pinkerton-- had to
walk. A dozen or so had walked over the
pipe beforo there was any s6ow of hostility.
Then a woman reached down and gathered
ap a handful of sand which she threw in a
man's face. That was the signal for the
attack. Every man as he stepped down
from the plank was struck or clubbed un
mercifully. I counted fifteen men on the
ground at once, and men and women kick
ing them in the face. It was sickening,
and, although I had been sent there to re
port it, I turned my head away. I could
not look at it. The bald-headed men
seemed to be special objects ol tho mob's
fury. Did I note any particular person
making an assault? Yes. I remember
one big lellow who stood near the pipo.
and he hit every Pinkerton man after the
attack began. And every man he hit went
down like a log. I have been subpamaed
as a witness on the trials, and if that fel
low is a prisoner I will know him."

A banana peel on the sidewalk led to a
murder in Pittsburg, last week. Charles
Gardner, a Baltimore and Ohio freight
brakeman. slipped np on the yellow skin.
Gathering himself together and rising to
his feet he g!»cd irately around and his j
eyes fell upon tho laughing countenance of
Robert Williams, a cokeworker.
'•That's your work, yon," the brake 1
man swore and made for the other, who
was enjoying his discomfiture. ''You ,
threw that peel down thsre to break my
neck." Williams reached for his hip pock- I
et as Gardner approached and before he '
could get to him, fired. Gardner was in j
stantly killed. Williams is in jail.

Rev. George E. Titzell's Death.
Many were the expressions of sympathy
and regret that were heard on Wednesday
morning, when the news of the death of
Rev. George E. Titzell was received.
Rev. Titzell was the pastor of the
Greensburg Lutheran church, and a few
weeks ago was granted a vacation by bis
congregation. The forepart of his vaca
tion was spent with Kittanning friends,
and going from here to New Bethlehem
he took -ick at the residence of his brother
in-law, F. L. Bush, where after a long ill
ness from typhoid fever he was summoned
by the Master to the home of eternal* joy
that He has prepared for tho just.
Rev. Titzell was a young man, being in
his thirty-seventh year, and was beginning
a life career of most promising results iu
the services of his Maker. Ho was a min- (
ister of more than ordinary eloquence '
whose discourses on religion were of the 1
most convincing nature, being not only ■
delivered in a scholarly way but with such {
manifest earnestness that his arguments '
carried conviction with them.
Deceased was married to Mary, a daugh
ter of our townsman Mr. Henry Hush, who
has the sympathy of the entire community
in this nad hoar of bereavement.—Kittan

Snake in Beer.
The New Brighton AViex tells a remark
able snake story: Four Italian laborers on
the I'. <fc L. E. R. It. with headquarters at
Wampum, purchased a keg of beer. They
drained the keg and in a short time the
Dagos all became deathly sick, and a
Physician was summoned, who with great
difficulty succeeded in paving their lives.
An investigation to ascertain the cause of
their illness was made.
The head of the beer keg was knocked in
and to their horror they found the remains
of a rattlesnake. The snake had been a'large
one as it had ten rattles and a button on
on its tail. His snakeship is suppose! to
have crawled in the keg while it laid along
tho track empty, where thousands can be
seen every day. The keg had then been
shipped back to the brewery and tho beer (
put in on tho snake.
