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.

Paul Cronenwett and Kd Mardorf, two
well known bicycle riders of Butler, have
retarned from an extensive and very enjoy
able tonr. They left on Monday, a week
ago and rode through Conneautville to
Erie, taking in Albion, Springboro and
other points. They made 50 milts of that
dsstance in 3:45. Staying over night at
Erie, they were joined by George Cronen
wett and Georgs Scott, and rode to Xorth
East for dinner, thence to Angola, X. V., a
distance of 73 miles. Next day they r.ide
through Buffalo to Tonawauda, and were
royally entertained by the Tonawauda poo
Die who have a warm phce in their hearts
for Butler representatives. C. X. Gearing
painted comic cartoons for the boy's wheels
and nothing was too good for them. Xext
day the boys pulled out for Xiagara Falls
and after spending several hours there,
they turned their wheels toward Lewiston
where there is a celebrated hill—celebrat
ed because only two riders had been known
to climb it, but Paul, Ed. aud George n>.)a
the hill before a large crowd amid a good
deal of yelling from the natives. At Low

where a day was syent in sight seeing

at Cowlesville, N. Y., where the boys

burg will be more lavishly decorated thau
ever in its history. There will be about
125 reunions of army associations and
about 10 conventions of national organiz
ations of various kinds. On the evening
of September 11th there will be six grand
camp-fires, presided by soldiers of renown.
It is confidently hoped i hat Ex-President
Harrison and Gov. McKinley will attend.
Gov. Pattisou vnd his staff will be guests
of honor also.
There will be a number of triumphal
arches aud preparations have been made
for such a display of electrical and natural
gas illuminations aud fire works as has
never before been seen in Western Penn
sylvania. In addition to the hotels in
Pittsburg the citizens have thrown open
their homes to make welcome every one of
the 300,000 strangers expected that week
At Grove City.
The miners trouble at Grove City after
a week of constant change seems about
to be settled.
The status of the strike so far as the at
titude of the white miners is concerned
has undergone a marked change in the
lorty-eight bonrs since last Tuesday. The
men are in the majority already who are
willing to accept the alternative and go
back to the pits. Twenty-one negroes
went to work at the Diamond mines Wed
nesday morninc, and tour others have re
turned from the Mercer Co. almshouse to
go to work in the morning Others there
will follow them and another consign
ment of the negroes from the South is ex
pected hourly. One more load of negroes
will start a break for the uiiues among
the white miners. The men will accept
the 60-cent rate rather than surrender the
works to the negroes.

White Lead as a Preservative.
[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.

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.

The new rates of the Water Company,
issued from out job department recently

——— -v /si«/srr«v/
Did it ever occur to yon that there are
drugs and drags—that "drngs 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 ns and be
assured of fresh pure goods, and always
what you ask for or your prescription calls
for. It may not always be drugs vou want
either. We always have on han3 a fall
