K Hopkins lound guilty of assault and battery, were not sentenced. The case vs William Barber was settled SETTLEUKST OF THE KELLY CASE. On Thursday last it whs reported that tbe cases ot the Commonwealth vs John C. Kelly, for forgery aud perjury would probably be settled: and as it was known everybody taking part in the prosecution was being importuned to allow of a settle ment. The Court room was crowded that afternoon with people anxious to hear what tbe settlement would be. But there was a hitch in the matter; Euos McDonald, the prosecutor insisted that Kelly i-hould acknowledge his guilt lu writing, in a paper to be given him, and to be made public by him, should Kelly ever again slander bis associates in office Kelly and bis attorneys demurred to this, aud tbe matter went over till next morning, when the parties came together again: Mc Donald concluded to let up on Kelly, anil the jjaper below,written by Thompson *as signed by Kelly and accepted by McDon ald. It was then presented to Court and a nolle prosequi was allowed, though Judge Wbite expressed some doubts as to the legality of the proceeding: and dictated an opinion which tbe Court Stenographer took down. The paper filed in the case reads as fol lows. Whereas, I have been indicted for per jury at No. 20 ol September Sessions, 1893, and lor forgery at No. 25 of the same term, I agree in case these cases are noil prossed to pay ull cost.-, including record costs and Commonwealth witnesses costs, as also tees ot pnvute counsel for tbe Common wealth; 1 further state voluntarily thut I know nothing derogatory ol tbe private or official cbaiacter ol my late colleagues, B M.

Judge White's opinion has not yet been iiled. SOTES. In the robbery case lately tried at New Castle, the Xeirx gave Pizor's story on the witness stand as follows: Harrison Pizor, the defendant, was the first witness called. Witness first met Harry Miilison nine years ago; never saw him ag tin until a little over a year ago He was at witness' house several times last winter. Ou the Thursday before the robbery Miilisou was at witness' place; said ibat be was hunting work. After wards he a«ked witness: "Do you think that old widow has any moneyTT Witness replied that be didn't know, lurt thought that she had sold nothing to get any tnon ey. Denied making any admissions to H. W. V. iiliamson at the justice's office at Enon. Said that Millison had said in jail, in the presence of several persons, that he bad never said that witness had told him that the Williamsoos kept a large amount of money in thi- house or gave him a plau of the house. On cross-examina tion it was brought out that three men, neighbors of Ins in Butler county, had warned him to leave the conniy or ho would be prosecuted for stealing. Witness was put through a mercilesscross-examina tion by District Attorney Emery, and in the maiu stuck to his original stoiy. In conclusion he said that he had never threatened to lick Millisou for telling on bim. Mrs. Pizor was called and sworn. The burden ot her evidence was principally to show that Millisou was acquainted with the locality about the Williamson place. Ida Bell, who was wanted as a witness iu the case against H. J. Thomas, the saloonkeeper, at 2403 Penn avenue, was arrested in a remote town in Butler county by Detective Dcmtnel. The woman said she tad been sent away to avoid apucaring iu court agaiust Thomas, who was charged with keeping a disorderly house. —Pitts- burg 77 meg. Aa interesting case will be tried in Meadtille this week, that of Alfred Taylor vs Mercer county. Two years ago Taj lor, who lives in Pymatuning township, was driving a load ol coal across a bridge in that township The bridge broke and all fell into the stream, twenty feet below. One of the horses was killed, and Taylor had a leg. an arm and a shoulder blade broken. He cla'tns that the Commission ers had been previously notified to repair the bridge. Ho now sues for $20,000 damages. In February. 1887, O E. Smith of Lawrence county. Pa., died suddenly. It was tbe generally accepted theory at the time that it was a case of suicide. Smith held a policy in the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company for SIO,OOO The company refusing to pay, alleging that Smith committed suicide by taking landa num The case was started in the Law rence county court, "but, was subsequently removed by the company to the U. S District Court at Pittsburg, where, after a jury trial of four dars. a verdict was given against the cotnpanv for the amount of tbe policy with interest The company then sued out a writ, of erior to the L' 8. Supreme Court, which reached the case a few days ago, anil af firmed the judgment of the lower court. After a wait of over si* years the family of the diseased will now get the money.

I: may be played by a room fall of people, who are divided into fours. In each group the couples are so seated that the bauds of the second couple meet across the hands of the first conple. A.- 1 everybody knows the first motion is to slap the hands palm downward upon the knees; the second is to slap the palms of the upraised hands to gether, and so on. In the revised and en larged form of the game tho second couple makes its first motion when the first couple makes the second motion, and the second couple continues thus, always one motion behind the first to avoid collision. When all the players are ready let somebody sit down at the piano and begin "The High School Cadets' March," or "'Push Dem Closds Away." or any lively tune of suit able measure, and with the whole room in motion to the music it won't take any more than a month to discover that there is more fun in this version of "Bean porrage hot" l han vou can shake a stick at. —X.

RUPTURE Cannot always be cured, but a properly fitting Truss will do more toward curing you than any thing else. A small rupture is more dangerous than a lagc one but is more readily held in place. Quite a number of persons who have been fitted by us have been entirely cured, but this is not al ways the case. The sooner we have them visit us after finding they are ruptured the more hope lof a complete cure. We make a specialty of Trusses for both ladies and gentlemen, and give di rections for private measurement for the former. Al! cases consid ered strictly private. Buying 1 russes by mail from some person who says he can cure you is on a paralell with the number of cures there are for consumption. If you have had trouble in being fitted elesewhere let us try what we can do lor you. C. N, BOYD, Pharmacist, Diamond Block, - Butler, Pa. 'JMIK BUTLER COUNT? NATIONAL BANK, BCTLKR, PA.
