It is intended exclusively for female prisoners. The structure is of stone and brick, thirty by thirty-two feet, two stories in height. The basement story contains a forty-horse-pow er boiler, locomotive pattern, from which the entire jail is heated; coal bins, and a dungeon. The latter is a receptacle four by six feet on the inside, walls of brick two feet thick, laid in cement, solid iron door and four two-inch air flues. Dangerous and unruly prisoners will be confined in this place until they are tamed. On the seoond floor there is a steel cage, disconnected from the ceiling and a narrow oorridor between it and the side and the end walls. The cage is divided into six oeils, eight by eleven feet, with grated doors. There are two fo'ding beds in each cell, a water closet, and wash basin with cold wafer. Electric bells connect each cell with the Warden's office. The annex in connected with the main jail building by a covered pansage way sixteen by five feet. The doors connecting with the main build ing will be kept locked so that no one bat the wardon, or those under his direction can pass to and fro. The entire jail build ing is lighted hy electricity.—J?jr.

In the arc lainp, electric discharge takes place between two hard piece's of conducting carbon sep arated from each other by an inti-rvai which is kept as nearly as possible con stant by automatic devices. An arc ol light of intense brilliancy called the vol taic arc is thus obtained. In the gL>w or incandescent lamp a filament of carlam in closed in a globe exhausted of air by nicr cury pump serves as a path along which tho current passes. The resistance t:ie elec tricity meets with in passing through this filament is sufficient to raise the latter to incandescence, and a light is thus obtained more suitable for the illumination of inter iors generaly. i —Speaking of tbo release of Rev. Covert the Mercer Press says: Mr. Covert had for weeks been engaged in straighten ing out the irregularities in the supretnt lodge of the order of Solon and bad un ! earthed most outrageous peculations on the part of supreme officers, and was pre pared to convict the thievea who had stol en by ■wholesale the money of tho order, when be was seized and locked up on the charge of lunacy. We are oiach mistaken as to the metal of the Rev. Covert if some one does not suffer for this outrage on the liberty of the citizen, and that tho thieves in the order of Solon will not feel that tbo> are done with bim yet. We are informed by J. G. White the attorney who effected his discharge that Mr. Covert, while in al mout perfect health, will now take some rest from the mental strain under which he has labored for some years, in the liar lem suits, mining and other large opera tions, and will spend some time visiting friends and relations in this, bis native county. His friends discover that any alarm as f< his sauity was utterly ground less. Water and Gas. About $60,000 a year is taken out of thin town fur ga.t rates, and about $40,000 more for water rents; and now that local com petition in gas rates is assmcd by the organization of the new company the water question should receive some attention. Our water supply is not what it should be, aud we are paying too much for it. Had the town built its uwu water workn originally it would have saved hundred* of thousanda to its people. Bradford, this state, built its own water works and its Water Commissioners charge the people $6.00 a year for water for a house of three rooms, and $7, SB, and $lO a year respectively lor houses ot 4, 5, C ami 7 rooms. Au additional water supply for the town could be secured by datnruiiig Sullivan and Martin runs, aud the head waters ol' tne Mutldycreek. Home think, also, that a pipe line from the Slipperyrock would be a profitable investment. The Markets. BUTLBK MABKKTS.

LEGAL NEWS. ■OTU. The Connty Commissioners have ap pointed A C Gibson, of Fairview township, to be Mercantile Appraiser for this year. County Auditors Douthett.

Eli May had summons ia ejectment issu ed vs Peter Kennedy and wife lor lot in Butler, fronting on Mercer St. About three y*ars ago a boy named OrvilU* Moore was sent to the reform school at Moriauza from Lawrence county. After his term expired the county commissioners attempted to collect the bill for his main tea nc« from the school authorities of B>g Run township, where the boy bad resided The poor authorities also refused to pay the bill on the ground that young Moore had been sent to Morgan** on sentence of court, and therefore the county was liable, and not the township. Judge Martin last Friday, decided that the township in which the minor had a residence is re sponsible. and not the county. Judge Feil, ol Philadelphia, has decided against the Pennsylvania railroad com pany's application for a reversal ol the verdict indemnifying a shipper over the line whose goods were lost in the Johns town flood. The H" ids in di-pute consist ed ol 10 barrels ol whisky shipped from the Uillinger distillers at Ruff-'lale. West moreland county, to Ling. Bernhpimcr & 00.,0f Philadelphia It wax shown that while the part, of the freight train containing the whi.-Ky was swept away bv the water, the cat in which it was loaded remained mi injured, but was deserted by the crew. A iuob of vagabond.- M ized the liquor and a committee of citizeus was obliged to take it Irom thein and destroy it for the pro tection of the community aud preservation of order. As employes of the road had neglected to interfere with the plunderers, the judge refused to interfere with the jury's verdict. An interesting decision has been made in the Erie connty courts in regard to the land teuure. The Pennsylvania road hi.s been proceeding against some "squatters" on land claimed by the railroad. One ol rbe defendant* claimed that she wus the ■.wuer of the land by virtue of more than twenty-one years' possession; the railroad cl imed that she should reckon her holding Iroui the death of her mist.and. and that he bad not held the property for twenty one years, while she not being an heir, could not continue the holding in an nn broken lino. The court held that as part ner of her deceased hushand, the wife could continue in tho line of holding, and the more than twenty one years' uudis puted posession of the two lives gave her a title to the property. The ca-e will prob ably be carried to the supreme court. On Tuesday of this week, the Supreme Court of th« State now in session at Phila delphia, affirmed the decision of the Court of Allegheny Co., in convicting Thos. Mat thews of selling newspapers on Sunday, under the act of April 22. 1794 The de cision cites the facts of this particular case which are not disputed, refer* to tho re markable development of the publishing business, and ends as follows: "It is our plain duiy to enforce the act of 1794 as we find it Upon the statute books. While the Sunday newspaper may b • a great con Ten lence to a large portion, perhaps a large majority, of the people, it does not, in our opinion, come within the exceptions of the act of 1794. Xo one pretends that it. is a charity, and we cannot say as a matter of ia%v that it is a necessity. It is a conven ience, nothing more We are of the opin ion that the defendant was properly con victed. The act ol 1794 is a Wise aud ben eficial statute, and we would regret to see it interfered with. We must, however, be allowed to express the lear that too literal au interpretation may create an antagou ism that may lead to its repeal, or at least serious modification. There may be such a tiling as excessive zeal in invoking its penalties in extreme ca-es. The act is in more danger from its friends than from its enemies" LATH PROPRRTR TRANSFERS.

The principal matter discussed at the meeting of Council Tuesday evening, was a resolution allowing the new gas compa ny the privilege of entering and occupying the streets aud alleys of the town, under the Gas ordinance of July 29, 18S3, and the Paved streets ordinance of Sept. 19, 1881. The resolution provides that the compa ny shall enter into an agreement with the borough to subject themselves to the reg ulations and restrictions of the ordinances, and give bond in $5,000 to the town for all damages arising from their failnre or neg ligence. The ordinance of July 29,1885 requires I the pipes to be buried five feet under the I ground, but a< the old company does not have its pipes that deep, it is understood that two feet will be an ample depth. Some of the members of the Council favor ed allowing the new company to run their pipes over the j-urtace as the Independent line is doing, but that was strongly objfCt el to on the grounds that the lines clog the gutters The Independent Co. was let in under a special ordinance passed in Febru ary of |«BS, u,d wbich. the pwnt city solicitor says, is illegal ana should xi.'t have been enacted. The new company therefore will be re quired to bury their pipes deep enough to be below the drains and ditches of the town, and it will bave the privilege of en tering all the sleets aud alleys, excepting the paved streets wnich must bo crossed at right angles with tiles of sufficient siie to accommodate their pipes. A special Committee recommended changing the electric lights at Walter's Mill, aud at the Company's houses in Springdale. The Burgess reported receipts amount ing to S7B 50, which he paid over. Mr. lieineman wants the Ist Ward Hose Co. to vacate his buildiug on March 30tb, and the Committee was instructed to secure another location.

William Mountain an oil well driller, formerly of the Thorn Creek field in this county, was killed by the explosion of a shot gun at Camden, Indiana, last Friday; aud his wife became insane when told of the accident. Back in 1884, when oil was first strnck in Washington county, prospectors leased the farm or Albert Smith. It was decided to bore a well in Smith's orchard. Smith objected because it would destroy a cer tein apple tree he had a particular fond ness lor. The lumber and other appliances were thrown over the fence, a distant of a few feet, and in about the usual time the George Cameron well was flowing at the rate of 100 barrels an hour. Smith saved his apple tree and Cameron's royalties from the well netted him $35,000. The Sick. Mr C. A. Templeton of the firm of Campbell £ Templeton is down with a cold. Esq.
