Scott Esq. is their bail for SI,OOO. and he asked for a process for them and a con tinuance of the case till Saturday morn ing, which was granted. Almost Victory. The leading sporting event in the base ball line in Butler for many years was the visit of the celebrated Uniontown club on Saturday. They came in a Pnllman Pal ace car, heralded by a record of 20 straight won games this year and none lost, and accompanied by the justly famed Rutter brass baud. The club bad with them a dozen or more Iriends and backers in ad dition to the bond making a crowd ot about 60 in the party. After their arrival over the P. <t W. at 1:30 they gave a parade which was taken part in by the two clubs. The game was started at 3:30 before a crowd of about a thousand, who packed grand stand and bleachers to suffocation. The game for the first 5 or C innings was much as expected. The visitors bat ted O'Brien rather freely, and this with his wildness gave them a lead of 7 runs. The home boys gave a fine exhibition of fielding. About the seventh inning But ler began to bat. and Altman, the crack Princeton pitcher was substituted for Wilhelm. The home boys took kindly to the phenomenon's speedy inshoots and Barr led with a home run, while Jones, O'Brien and others made two and three baggers in sufficient number to bring the score, at the close of the first half of the ninth inning, up to 9 to 8 in favor of But ler. This should now have been a pretty safe g.tme for Butler, hut O'Brien made the mistake of giving the first man bis base on balls, and the visitors brought in two runs. The score was 10 to 9. The P. A. C. club of Pittsburg will play here Saturday. This club is strong and will have Xicol in the box. The home boys will place a good nine against them. The Uniontown club has won one and lost two games since leaving Butler. At Franklin each club took a game, while the first Oil City game was won by Oil City 15 to 0. The Markets. BUTLER MARKETS.

[From the English Mechanic ] The advantages of us ng genuine white lead for painting surfaces, especially iron work, have been known for years, but an instance mentioned by Sir William Arrol will serve to impress the tact on the mem ory. Some years ago he purchased the materials of old Hammersmith Bridge for the purpose of asiug a portion in ereotiug a temporary plant at one of his large undertakings. The iron work had been in position sixty-two years, and many of the parts, owing to inaccessibility, had not been painted since they were placed in position Finding them in so remark able a state of preservation Sir William Arrol had some of the paint analyzed, wheu it was found to be genuine white lead. —Job work of ail kind done ut the CITIZEN Orrioc —The highest grade of patent flour made at the mills of J.

Colbert & Dale, Oil Notes. Oil was worth 80£ cents yesterday McDermid i Co. have a plugged well on tho Bishop farm. 00 feet in the 100 foot, and will have to move the rig. They first lost the sand pump, tried to jar it out with a bull-dog spear, struck the jars and lost the tools —a loss in all of about #l,- 500. The Patterson «t Co. well on the Gart ner, and the Goehring A Co. well on the Donley, in Cranberry twp are both re ported dry. The production of the Brownsdale field now aggregates 2,000 bbls. a day. Forty wells are drilling and 20 rigs are complet ed and underwav. A. M. Huffman, driller for the Standard Oil Company, while putting down a well in Nottingham twp Well Co Indiaua, came upon something that promises to rival the Mommoth cave in Kentucky. As yet no name has been given it, as it is not exactly known what it is. The cavity was struck at a depth of 150 ft. in rock," and when the drill went through it could not be let down tar enough to reach a solid fonndatiou. Six different holes were drilled close around, all with the same result To further test the matter, two poles, twenty feet long and a little less in diameter than that of the holes, were cut and dropped into one of tbein, with the same result of both disappearing without being able to find them again when the drill wis let down. Friday sixty quart* of nitro-glycerine were inserted, but the report was only faintly heard, and nothing came out of the holes but a little water and a small quantity of red mud that resembled paste.
