A case lately disposed ol in the Orphan's
Court of "Waf hington county reveals a re
markable history of a women now in the
prime of life. By a freak of nature, when
born, the second and third fingers of one of

gical operation only partily overcome the
malformation, but now, what she has all
her lite lamented as a deformity, has
brought to her a snug little fortune which
she and ber husband may enjoy during
their declining years. The misshaped
fingers identified her as an heiress, and
thoDgh for nearly a third of a century she
had been separated trom her friends the

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."

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. Kuhn deserves credit
for following his men while nearly blinded
by the pepper and suffering. At the pen
itentiary Harry Miller was recognised as
an old offeoder—which will end the senti
ment regarding him. His real name i>
John O'Mara and his friends lire in Alle
gheny near the penitentiary.

WASHINGTON.
Low Rates on the B. & O.
Washington! What a host of recollections
flood the memory at the mere mention of
the name.
There is no place in the world which
should be go dear to every patriotic
American.
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jackson,
Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Sumner, Seward,
Douglas, Stepheus, Scott, Lincoln, Grant,
Gartield and Blaine—all the grand states
mar and soldiers whosw names are like the
stai IU tho flag of the country—this is the
theatre of their great achievements, the
forum of their memorable debates, the
a<. ua ol their struggles and their triumphs;
aside from its historic associations, Wash
ington is justly called the most beautiful
city in the world—the city of magnificent
distances, a perfect arsenal of interesting
features—public buildingi, statuary, art
galleries, monuments, museums,paintings,
parks and gardens.
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.
The last of the series of reduced rate ex
cursion, to Washington via the B. AO. is
announced for Thursday. Apr sth.

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.
A Suggestion.
wjfen
Did it over occur to you that there aro
drugs and drugs—thatdrugs are like every
thing else —there are good, bad and indif
ferent. There is nothing else which is
positively bad if it is'nt just of the best.
Our policy has always been to have noth
ing but the best.
When you want drugs come to us and be
assured of fresh pure goods, and always
what you ask for or your prescription calls
for. It may not always be drugs yon want
either. We always have on hand a full
