The t parade formed on Jefferson St. and march i ed over the principal street* of the town in | the following order: Consolidated Band, A(=>i-'.ant Chiefs, Merhling and Schaffner, ; Markham Hook and Ladder Co., Spring i dale Hose Co.. J. S. Campbell Hose Co., Good Will Hose Co., and the First Ward Hose Co. Quite a number of people followed the companies to the meeting, which was pre sided over by G. Wilson Miller, who made a brief statement "fthe object of the meet ing; J. D. Northrup, Jacob Backhalter, and W. T. Mechling spoke of the benefit.- to be derived from the Convention. Remarket were then called upon from the business men present, and C. A. Templeton expressed the sentiment that no matter what the convention should cost —lie considered $2,000 a very low figure— the business men of Bntler should advance it because they are indebted to the fire de partment far beyond that amount. Lower rates of insurance and protection from fire is given Butler as a result of the work of the department and everybody should con tribute liberally. Geo. D. Ogden, of the West Penn road, had a word to say of the enjoyment that could be had from a con vention of this kind, having heard of the way the Altoona people regarded the one held there some years ago, in a recent con versation with a gentleman of that city. W. A. Stein was invited by the chair to make a few remarks abont the matter. Mr. Stein expressed himsilf of the opinion that the amount of money needed would be forthcoming when asked for by the finance committee and said that the citizens owed it to the fire department to contribute the money, regardless of the return that might result. F S. Clark, of the Park Hotel, had a few appropriate remarks to make in which he said that he wouldn't give a cent for a town that couldn't contribute $2,000 for a firemen's convention. He thought there ought to be more money than that raised and said he was willing" to give his share ol twice that amonnt. W. H. Ens minger and a few others spoke in a genor al way of the convention and the meeting adjourned after extending a vote of thanks to the band for its services Graves of the Dead. To protect the graves of the dead is one of the hi hest and best traits of our nature. We are pleased to learn ofa movement by some of our citizens to look after the con dition of the old and first burial place of this town. The bones of many of the early citizens of Butler and vicinity yet rtpose there, never having been removed to any of the new cemetries. The grounds and fences of this old place are fast falling in to decay. Hence the movement to rescue it from further delapidation and desecra tion, a meeting has been held by some citizens, and a committee appointed to se cure the necessary funds to preserve the first place of the dead. This effort should succeed. The Union Scout. The well known war drama, "The Union Scout," was presented at the Arm ory Opera House, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and will bo repeated this, (Thursday) night, by amateur actors of Butler, for the benefit of the IT. V. L. The play was creditably presented and the tableaux were exceptionally fine and well produced. Bel Hindmau, as the "coon" was as fun ny as usual and Jas M. Maxwell makes a good dutchman The ladies, Miss Criswell, Vandling and Mrs. Del Uindman were un usaally good for amateurs. Kuben Mc- Elvain added greatly to his laurels, and I. J. McG'andlesß, as General Sherman,and Rev. Cupps, as Major Cobb looked like real soldiers. Oscar McClung, as Frank Harrison, the Union Scout, played his part well, as did all tho cast. The sham battle by the members of Company E was a pleasing part of the performance. Armory Opera House. APRIL 25th. "The Fairies' Well" is drawing splendid audiences to Halvin'a this week. Those who have seen the play aro enthusiastic in their praises of it, and it is probable that even the Murphy engagement last week will be eclipsed in a financial sense. Geo. 11. Timmons certainly has a great future before him. He has surprised, nay, astounded, his friends by the cleverness of his work as "Larry Deo." Another thing that contributes very materially to the success of the production is the excellence of the supporting company. It is so sel dom that so strong a company is seen in a play of this kind that »ne may be pardoned for gushing just a little bit. Mr. Timmons must needs bo bright to shine in such company.—Cincinnati' Times Star SSOO for Three Cents.
