License Court. The annual investigation into character and conditions, called license court, be gan in the C>urt Knom Wednesdty morning. At 9 a.m. all the applicants were present in their "best bib and tuck er," and prepared to show a clean skin as well as a clean record, if necessary, and an hour later the Court Room was crowded with witnesses and spectators. Judge Greer stated that he considered the sale of liquor by the bottle to be one of the greatest evils of the license system,and that he would require all persons to whom he granted license to file a paper agreeing not to sell distilled spirits by the bottle to be used off the premises. The application of Daniel il. Carrol for a tavern license at Earns City was the first considered: a defect in it was noted by Mr. Galbreatb, who witb Messrs Bran don and Robinson, appeared fur the re monstrants, the Court sustained the objec tion and Carrol was "knocked out in the first round." The application of g Mr. Jellison of Pe trolia came next. He has kept hotel there for eighteen years, entertained 3000 people last year, and was willing to file a paper agreeing not to sell by the bottle. Geo. Graham, Plummer Christy,o. June, John Irvine, John McMamara, and Stew art Hindman testified as to Jellison's char acter,his hotel accommodation ',meals,etc , and the Court questioned them a< to the return made by the Constable of Fairview which said that men came home drunk from Petroiia. No remonstrance. Campbell <t Byers of Petroiia, came next, and they with Jas Lyon, F. M. Fritz, Chas. Cochran, Geo. 11. Brown, and John Irvine testified regarding the necessi ty of the house. character of applicants, accommodations, bond, etc. David Stewart of" Renfrew has had no license lor the past two years, bat kept open house, feeds 3to 10 persons a day, and never refused a man a meal. Jas. Patrick, Gilbert Brown, Jno MeFamney, D. W. Roberts, Frank Markwell, Michael Stanford, E. E Price, J. L. Stevenson, Jas. Hammel and Wesley Hammel were his witnesses as to character, necessity of house, etc. Roberts said they had no disturbances in Renfrew excepting those made by drunken men who came from Butler; that there was more drnnkenne6s there now than when Stewart bad license; that the stuff was shipped in and drunk under the boardwalk and other places. There was some doubt as to the amplitude of Stew ait'sbond, and after dinner the Court ruled that that part of the case must be settled first. That afternoon the applications from Evansburg and Millerstown were beard and before adjourning Judge Greer made the following entries on tho docket. Daniel M. Carrol of Karns City. March 21, 1894, petition not in accordance with the Aot of Assembly, the same is refused. Simon Frankle, Millerston. It not ap pearing to the Court that the license is necessary it is refused. David Stewart, Renfrew. It not appear ing to the Court that this lioense is neces sary it is refused. Charles H. Miller, Evansburg. Petition being defective the application is refused. Jacob C. Hyle, Evansburg. It being shown to the Court that the applicant bas frequently violated the law during the last year this license is refused. The application of Henry C. Keasy of Winfield twp. was withdrawn. Thursday morning the application of Pfaabe of Saxonburg was heard, several young men testified to getting liquor there and the license wa.- refused. Raabe'scase followed and his license was refused for same reasons as Pfabe's. Geo. Stahl of Zelieuople was relused a wholesale license, and Jacob Enslen of Harmony withdrew his application. —On Saturday, last, if you are a son of the Oald Sod, you celebrated St. Patrick's Day, Ireland's patron saint. This saint was born, no one knows where, in the year 372, and when 1C years old was carried off by pirates, who sold him into slavery in Ireland, where his matter employed him as a swine herder on the well-known moantains of Sleavaish in the county of Antrim. Here he passed seven years, dur ing which he acquired the Irish language and made himself acquair'ed with the manners and customs of the people. Es caping lrom captivity, and, after many ad ventures reaching the continent, he was successively ordained deacon, priest aud bishop, and then once more with authority of Pope Celestine he returned to Ireland to preach the gospel to its then heathen in habitants. He is said to have died at Saul March 17th, 493, aged 121 rears. 01 the many legends the following is one of the most popular: Ono cold morning the saint and his followers found themselves on a mountain without a fire to cook their breakfast, or to warm their frozen limbs. Unheeding their complaints, Patrick desir ed them to collect a pile of ice aud snow balls; which having been done he breathed npon it and it instantaneously became a pleasant fire—a fire which long after serv ed to point an Irish poet's conceit to these linos: "St. Patrick, as in legends told, The morning being very cold. In order to assuage the weather Collected bits of ice together; Then gentlv breathed upon the pyre When every fragment blazed to fire. Oh! if the saint had been so kind As to have left the gift behind, To such a love lorn wretch as me, Who daily struggles to be tree; I'd be oontent —content with part; I'd only ask to thaw the heart— The trozen heart of Polly Ree." —All coatomera holding carde for free crayon work at the People'* Store are requested to bring their cards and negatives for Crayon on or before April 15 next as we expect to finish np the free picture business next month.

Tried to Get Away, Ward Coorert.Harry Miller and Thomas Doyle were taken to the penitentiary last Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Kubn Camp bell, assisted by Frank Murphy. Miller and Doyle were hand-cuffed together and were in charge of Campbell, while Murphy had Coorert in charge. The deputies had no trouble with their prisoners until they left the street earn near the penitentiary, when Miller suddenly thrsw a handful of pepper in Campbell's eyes, and then the three prisoners broke for liberty. Murphy caught his man and took him to the door ot the penitentiary and reported the flight of Miller and Doyle. Campbell followed the prisoners up to Ohio street, and the af lair attracted the attention of some citi zens who took part, the men sent out from the penitentiary came up and the two pris oners were secured.

There is no place in the world which should be go dear to every patriotic American.

All are yonrs; they belong to the citizens ol this glorious country and can all be Aisi trd without paying one cent for admission or fee. As an educator, a trip to the National Capitol has not an equal on tbe globe. By taking (and only by taking) the Balti more and Ohio, you will see a river hallowed iu America beyond all others by historic recollections—the river on whe se banks sleeps the Father of his country—tho river for whose possession more lives have been sacrificed than were lost to guard the German Rhine. This rive/, the memory haunted Patomao, is closely followed for more than one hun dred miles of its most delightful scenery by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a ride in itself a dream of scenic lovelinesa and beauty.

JENNIE E. ZIMMERMAN, (Successor to Ritter & Ralston.) More About the New Railroad, Jos Pool Esq. one of the attorneys in the B. B. Iron Co. case, writes as follows regarding the new railway troin Brady's Bend to Butler. The rail.oad is the "Brady's Bend A Butler Railroad Com pany," incorporated and chartered Feb.- 20tb, 1894. The incorporators are C. 0. Billings, President of the Globe National Bank, Boston; Jerome D, Gillett, of Gris wold <t Gillett, Bankers, New York; W. J. and R. R. Hammond, of Pittsburg, Pa. The road will be pushed forward to com pletion as fast as possible. By tho time the road is completed it is the purpose of the owners of the property to bare the coal openings ready to take out large bodies of coal for shipment over this road to the Lakes and Canada. The route to tho Lakes will be much shorter than any lino now reaching that point. The road at Butler will connect with the Shenango it Lake Erie, Pittsburg <t Western, i. r, Baltimore <fc Ohio, and the Pennsylvania, which will enable the company to ship their output east, west and north to ad vantage to the producer. The immense bodies of limestone, fire-clay and silicon on these lands will also be opened and de veloped. Thert has been no decision reached yet for the erection of plants for the manufac ture of iron. Several parties have already made applications to erect on tho premises different manufacturing concerns. Liberal inducements will be held out to such parties who will require tho raw material produced from the property for use in their manufactories. The East Brady Recicic adds. Tho sur veyors on the new railroad moved from their quarters at the Hotel Freeman on Saturday, to the Central Houso, Millers town, as their work now leads from Mil lerstown out towards Butler. They cross ed the tracks of the P. <fc W. Ry. near Mill erstown and will make tbe line connect with the S. A A. R. R. near Butler in a week at most.
