Letters of Adm'n on estate of Kate Dougherty were granted to Wm. J. Dougherty. The jury in the case of the coin, vs Albert W. Woodley, indicted for the mur der of Mrs. Buchanan of Allegheny, stayed oat for thirty nine hours, and then brought in a first degree verdict, which was re markable. There are now six men in Al legheny Co. jail under sentence of death. Sylvester Critchlow, the first man tried for murder in the Homestead cases, is again in jail in Pittsburg this time on a less serious cearge. This time he is sued by his wile for surety of the peace. Terence Clune, of Franklin was commit ted to jail lately for non-payment ot' tax. He has been owing school tax to the amount of sl. He has had no work lor about a year, and has put the collector off from time to time, an the ground that he was unable to get any money ahead. The collector finally gave" him a certain time to pay, and on his failure, tho arrest was made. The arrest and commitment are in conformity with law, and illustrate an in teresting phase of justice. At the end of 30 days the costs, including board in the jail, will have amounted to sl3 50. Then in order to secure his discharge, Terence will have to get out papers under the in solvent debtors' act, at a cost of $5. This brings the total expenditure up to $lB 50— and still the school district is minus the $1 for which it started out. It is a legal question whether this case come? under the insolvent act or not. A bill in equity was filed in Allegheny Co. last Thursday, by Hannah Bailey of Butler Pa., against J. M. Shields, trustee, and Wm. D., Samuel R., George W., John W., Joshua F. and Thomas Bailey. The plaintiff states that in December, 1888 she made a deed giving all her property, consisting of a large amount of land in Allegheny and Butler counties, to J. M. Shields as trustee. Shields was to act as her trustee, manage her estate and pay her the income. With her consent he could sell property and invest moneys, lu June 1894, she executed another instru ment revoking the trust deed giving her property to Shields. She says that Shields sold property of hers in Pittsburg for $26- 000 and nas "not accounted to her for the proceeds. He has also refused to pay over to her $3,000 he received fiom oil leases, etc. Shields, she alleges, has acted ar bitarliy with her and has undertaken to act not as trustee, but as guardian, claim ing he has the right to limit her personal expenses and that she shall only have a certain amount of income for her personal use, in disregard of the trust which has no limitation of the amount of income she is to have. As he is under no bond and she is capable of handling her own estate she wants the trust deed declared null and void. She receives from SBOO to SI,OOO a month from oil leases and she has notified the pipe lines not to pay any more money to Shields, but to pay it direct to her. She wants a receiver appointed to take charge of her property and hold it sabject to the order of the court, Shields restrained from collecting money or interfering with the estate and compelled to give an account and pay over whatever is due her, and to reconvey the property to her. As a provision in the trust deed directs that in case of the plaintiffs death with out having made a will, the trustee should divide the estate among her heirs-at-law, the Baileys' they are also joined as defen dants.

Uncle Tom Mechling is probably the only man in Butler who shook hands with Lafayette when he passed through Butler in the summer of 1825. "Uncle'' Tom was a boy of nine years at that time, and his father kept the Mechling House on the Diamond, of which the CITIZEN - office was a part. Lafayette passed through Butler on his way irom Pittsburg to Erie, and took his dinner here. The town was decorated for the occasion,and three arches had been built—one opposite the old Brink er hotel, now Williard House: one on the Diamond and one opposite the old Beatty hotel, on the site of which the Trontman building now stands. Lafayette was traveling with a party, and quite a num ber of men and boys drove and walked out the old plank road to meet, and es cost them to town, and when they got back to Butler they formed in two lines and Lafayette walked between them and shook hands with overybody. He was a cripple from his wound at Brandywine, and walked slowly. Uncle Tom describes him as being at that time a stout, full facei', round-headed man, who wore a bine coat, white vest, an 4 buff nankeen pants. He and his party took dinner at tho Mech ling house, in the brick building now oc cupied by Col. Thompson. Among the dishes Mrs. Mechling had for dinner that day was boiled sauer-crnut, and of this La fayette partook very ireely. Then tho party went on north, stopping over night at the stone house or somewhe-i near there. Lafayette is buried in the Pere-la cbaise cemetery near Paris, there is an iron railing around his grave but no tombstone upon it, and every day in the year a fresh boquet provided by the American Society in Paris is placed upou the grave. —Try our new roller floor—latest improved machinery.

Second Artillery I". S. A. exploded with terrific force on Monday at Chicago and thrae soldiers were instantly killed and a dozen badly in jured. The troops left Brighton I'ark for a long march around the city to exercise the horses They were in command of Capt Dodd of troop F. Third caralar, and consisted of troop F.

The men march- d iu this order. Everything went smoothly and there were no incidents until ihe column marching south on Graud boulevard was jast cross if'g Oakwood boulevard. Then a terrifio explosion occurred. The men oh the e*is sou supposed to be DoDovon and Doyle, were literally blown to pieces and others were thrown many feet by the violence of the conclns.-ion Four of the horses draw ing the caisson fell in their tracks shot through and horribly mangled, while three others were blown fifty feet ahead against the trees on the boulevard, dving instant ly. The caisson was blown to atoms, not » piece of it large.' than a man's hand be ing found. The boulevard looked like a battlefield. There was a series of quick explosions after tho first report and shrapnel shot rained like hail among the trees on the boulevard and pierced the surrounding dwellings. The concussion broke every window in the houses for blocks away. The walls and roofs cf the dwellings show ed the terrific effect of the missiles. T n exploded shells of rear pait of the cais son lay strewn over the ground. With the explosion came great confusion of the troops and f>r a moment the men and of ficers seemed powerless to move. To this was added the fright of the occupants of the surrounding houeea, who ran scream ing from their dwellings ouly to be sicken ed by the sight in the street. A still alarm of lire had been turned in and with the fire department came the stock yards police patrol wagon. B. B.
