Something new Uneqnaled in the City. The O. W. Hardman Art Co., L't'd Murder and Suicide. On Tueaday of this week, Dec. sth. 1503, Bntler county was the scene of the worst tracedv that has occured within its limits since the killing of the Wigton family by the Indian Mohawk, fifty year- ago. Ilarper Whitmire, a son of Frank Whit mire, dec'd., killed his mother-in-law, Mrs. Christina Xordheim (or Hasslcr) whose place is near St. Joe Station, on the line between Oakland and Donegal twp?; her daughter Mrs. Mart in,lately married and yet living at home; acd then himself. The events immediately preceding the murders and suicide are aoout as follows: Ilarper Whitmire, whose wife, a daughter of Mrs. Xordheim. died about two years ago, placed his children in a charitable in stitntion and left the county. He return ed a few da>s ago and went to the homo ol bis mother-in-law, Mrs. Xordheim, whose farm was and is an oil farm. He was needing money, no doubt, was begging her for more money, though his wile had received, during her life time, what was considered her full share of the estate. On the morning of the sth he, Mrs. Xordheim and Mrs. Martin where the only persons in the house, —Louis Xordheim the son, being at the oil well on the farm some distance from the house. Harper seems to have determined to help himself to the money he believed to be locked up in the trunk in Mrs. Xordheim's room Mrs. Xordheim arose early and went ont to feed the stock. Harper got up, and whether because the young woman was awake and discovered his purpose or from premeditation; he went to her bed and beat her over the head with a double bar. relied shotgun as she lay in bed, and then nearly severed her head from her body with a sharp razor. The gun was broken in two by his assault upon her. Then he went down stairs, and meeting the old lady as she came in he picked up a poker and beat her over the head until she fell upon the floor ot the kitchen, and he continued tbe assault until her head was beaten almost to a jelly. Then he got a hatchet, went up stairs and broke open the trunk, and took what money was in it, and left tbe scene ot his horrible work. He first went to Linas C. Martin's about 4 miles distant and there secured (about 7 o'clock) a horso which he rode to bis broth er Samuel's, from whom he tried to bor row a pistol with which to kill himself, saying that he bad killed two parties and wished.to kill himself. But his brother would not give him the pistol, Linas rode over to Samuel's with bim and he there engaged Linas to meet him at noon at Samuel's ffitb a rig. Then he started over the bill toward John Calvin Whitmire's, and Sam uel went to Boydstown and consulted Peter Whitmire and Graham Campbell as to what should be done in the matter. Lcuis, Daniel and bamueJ, brothers of Harper, with Peter, then followed Harper over the bill and up the run, in which he had wad ed, and back the John Calvin's, where they found him sitting by the fire, they induced bim to go with them to Samuel's tor dinner; and Peter went away to get a warrant. At noon two rigs were seen coming toward tbe bouse, and Harper feared arrest and said he would not be taken alive, so be ran out to the barn, gave his son Sid, who lives at Samuel's, some money, went back to Calviu's. secured a razor he had left there, walked out and around a hill to a small grass plot, and sat down and cut bis throat—hacked it six times with the same razor he used on Mrs. Martin and tbe edge ol which had been badly twisted aud nicked. When bis brothers came up to bim he was dying, and they got bim a wagon and hauled him back to Samuels,from where he was buried in tbe Whitmire private burying ground next day. Word of the murder had been sent to Butler early that morning, and officer* bad gone oat to arrest Harper, but they found him dead. Louis Nordheim, the son, was the first to discover the murders. When he came in from his work on the wellf about 8 o'clock, he lound bis mother lying dying, upon the kitchen floor, and his sister dead in bed. Harper was gone and Loais real ized that he was the culprit, and notified his neighbors of the affair. Mrs. Nordheim was a daughter oP Dr. Uasler. dec'd, who at one time lived at or near Hannabstown. She married Nordheim and lived with bim nntil be made a murderous assault upon bBT father, for which he was sent to the penitentiary, she then secured a divorce and resumed her maiden name of Hauler. Her farm produced a great deal of oil and she was considered wealthy. She was the mother of three girls, one ol whom was married to Whitmire, one to Henry Leidecker of Butler and the yonngest one to James Martin. Her only son, Louis, lived at home with her and attended to the stock and well yet producing. Harper Wbitniire and the eldest daugh ter w«re married some 15 yearn ago. He bought the Dick McCandless farm in Cen tre iwp. borrowing part of the money from bis mother in-law and giving her a mort gage. Then he induced her to cancel the mortgage and give bim money.and among them they put the farm in the name of bis * ife, as ber full share of the estate. This deed was not recorded until the end of the six months and in the meantime Harper borrowed money from several persons, by representing himself as the owner of the farm, and when the deed to his wife was recorded, and trouble came to him, he aud bis wife came to Mutlerand borrowed mon ey to get bim oat of trouble. This was three or four years ago and was about the tune that the young man who went by the name of Howard Whitmire was sent to the workhouse for forgery, where be died Two jears ago, Harper's wife died under suspicious circumstances. Hut little was said about it, yet he was supposed 10 have caused her death by bearing her. He took bis childreu to Nordheim's and went away, came back and put them in charitable schools and went away again. Ho was at Erie until a few days ago, when be again came to Nordheim's, and this terrible trag edy has followed. Mrs Nordheim's nkull was so badly in jured that the doctors could do nothing for her aud «he died Wednesday scorning. She and her daughter will be buried Saturday. Special bale of Children'!* Suits.

It is on the Grubbs farm, and it started of at 50 bbls. an hour. Drilling was stopped and the well declined next day, but Monday it was agitated and did 80 bbls. an hour. The Wilson farm of 70 acres adjoining the Grubbs was leased to the Galley Bros, who paid a bonus of $3,000. The Gazette says: "The Grubbs well ha* been wor>e than a Chinese puzzle tor the most experienced operator. Two wneks ago at a depth of 1.945 feet the aaud was struck, wben the well began to gas and oil, snowing a rock pressure of 800 pounds. It was co neo.ed np and continued to spray for two days aud then quit, and on a test showed the gas pressure had almost entirely disappeared. It was theu decided to drill it in, anu on last Wednesday afternoon the t«ols were run for a few minutes, when it began to flow at the rate of 50 barrells an hour, and in the next five hours averaged 40 barrels aud then subsided and did nothing more than spray lightly. It was drilled a little on Friday, aud while the tools were in motion flowed freely, but would stop almost as soon as drilling was suspended Satnrd y forenoon it was drilled for a short time and in the following tbiee hours, ending at 1 o'clock, had produced 75 barrels. It was then drilled again and a second pay was encountered, aud for the hour that follow* ed produced 50 barrels, and was holding up at that speed at 4 o'clock, wben last heard from. There is a diflereuco of opinion as to what sand formation is pro ducing the oil Some operators claim it is the Brush creek sand, which is the boulder formation overlying the third sand. Others, equally well informed, insist it is the third sand proper, or the regular Wild wood formation, designated south of tho Ohio river as the Gordon sand. IF IT SUITS YOU TO PAY CASH.

The Allegheny Valley ticket office at Red Bank "was robbed at 4 o'clock last Fri dav morning by three marked men. They secure I only ab< ut sl2. Agent Slagle, tue night trackman, and a boy were at the station While the third man stood guard over the trackman and boy, the two enter ed tUu station and demanded the company's money; patting revolvers to Slagles face. He refused to deliver the keys. They then brought the boy iu and compelled him to open the money drawer. The rob bers noticed Slagle 's diamond ring and gold watch, but 6aid they wanted noth ing but the money belonging to the rail road. Detectives Brown and Marshall, of Law rence county, arrested Harrison Pisor, who lives near KDOU, fur beimr implicated in the Williamson robbery. Pisor is a brother-in-law of Harry Millison and it was learned that Millison and Rutter had been at his house on the Thursday evening preceding the robbery. It was also learn ed that Pisor had workod for Mrs. William son and knew all about the arrangement of the house, the members of the family and the possible chance of securing money. This information it is claimed, was im parted to Millison and Kutter, and makes Pisor an accessory to the crime. After making the arrest the prisoner was taken before 'Squire Sbanor and given a hearing. Mrs. W illiamson said that Pisor had work ed for her and while doing duty in that capacity had a good opportunity to be come acquainted with the surroundings. In taking up the floor of an old dilapi dated bouse on the farm ol Dr. IJailey, of Gap, Lancaster county, a few days ago, workmen uncovered an old fashioned iron pot containing $2,G00 in gold and silver coin and three sets of silver spoons with the initial "C " upon them. The money is supposed to have been put there over a century ago by a family named Chamber lain, who lived on the property. Mrs. Helen Warne, of Zanesville, 0. a lady of about fifty years of age visited Bearer Falls one day last week in search of her two runaway daughters. The girls had been employed in a restarant, in Zanas yille and about two weeks ago ran away in company with two colored barbers named Simpson, who had been running a barb er shop in the same building in which the restaurant was located. It seems the girls had been promised a position in Beaver Falls by their friends ot color at much better wages than they had been getting at the restaurant. Be that as it may they cam* to Beaver Falls. As soon as the mother learned of their departure, Hhe immediately gave chase and on her arrival procured the services of an officer and proceeded to the home of the Simpson barbers where she found one of her daughters, the other hav ing procured a situation in Xsw Brighton. To the Music Loving People of Butler. Grieb & Lamb display in their window an A. B. Chase Piano, one of the makes wbicb gained the VE&Y HIGHEST AWARD obtainable given at the World's Fair.

Orieb & Lamb have for years sold and con, stantly kept in stock three makes of pianos, also two of organs, which re ceived the highest awards, something that even no Pittsburg dealer can boast of.
