THE FARMKRS EK JOY IT. ttutltr County's Fair The Great Event of the Season. Preparations are well under way for the nineteenth annual fair of the Butler County Agricultural Association, which will be held September I, 2, 3 and 4. This fair is one of the few successful ones held in Western Pennsylvania, and the liberal spirit of the management is so well known to exhibitors, and they re ceive such courteous treatment at the hands of the association, that every de partment is crowded to overflowing each year. The husbandman of Butler county looks forward to the annual fair as glee fully as the average small boy does to a coming circus. It is a sort of reunion of friends, not alone of the county, but from all over the State, from which come former residents to take in the fair and renew old acquaintance. Unlike some fair associations, the Butler management will permit no "skin" games on the grounds, and if an occasional rascal at tempts to operate in the vicinity he is promptly arrested, and this class of swindler has long since learned to steer clear of Butler during fair week. The entries of stock, so far, is away in excess cf any previous year, and tlfe capacity of the grounds for taking care of horses and cattle is sure to be taxed to the utmost, but as the enteries always close a week before the beginning of the fair, arrangements will be made to properly house every animal. The as sociation always closes the entries in this department far enough in advance to in sure the exhibitors fair treatment. If the stall room is insufficient for the number of entries, more are at once con structed. To protect the visiting public, no animals or article on exhibition is allowed to be removed from the grounds until 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the last day, under penalty of forfeiture of premiums, which are always paid in the afternoon of last day. A feature of the exhibition is the grand cavalcade of all the horses and cattle each afternoon. This is also required, and the spectacle of tl>e track filled with the best stock the county produces is a beautiful one. Not the least interesting feature of the | exhibit is the department devoted to ! women's work, and it is always crowded. Here can be seen beautiful rolls of gold en butter, canned and preserved fruits, pickles, bread and cakes, crochet work, knitted work, netting, silk and crewel embroidery and ornamental needle work, all hand made and by women of Butler I county only. The half mile track is one of the best in the State, and the condition of the ground is such that it is almost always ry and in first-class shape. The entries for speed, always the best going, are fully up to the standard of former years. The race premiums are paid by the as sociation each evening, so that about as soon as the money is earned it is in the hands of the lucky owner of the fastest horses. The society is a member of the National Trotting association, and the races are conducted under its rules. The program follows: Wednesday, 2:35 trot, purse, 2:30 pace, purse S2OO. Thursday, 2:45 pace, purse, $150; free for-all trot or pace, purse, $300; 2:50 trot, purse, $l5O. Friday, 2:28 class, trot, purse. s2l _>; 2:20 class, pace, purse s2c D. This year the management has decided to have additional attractions, and the Kemp sisters and Rio Grand Bill's Wild West shows, with 16 exciting events on the programe, will give daily exhibitions, and a eyclorama of the Battle of Gettys burg can be seen at any time.

McFarland and McDonald secured the contract for capping the piles that art being driven into the Boyd and Mackey { !>ottoni land, and building the trestle w„rk ujx>n them. The idea of the R. R. Co. is to start the road on these piles and trestle-work and then fill in solid around thew. The contract for the substructure and stone work on the Butler & Pittsburg rail road bridge, cr. ssing the Allegheny river at Denny station has been awarded to Joseph Gianini.of I'ittsburg, for 1153,000. The bidding for the work was spirited, and many large contractors took part. Work on the structure will be begun in 10 days, and will be finished under the contract within six months. The bridge is oue of the heaviest and mast costly pieces of work on the new ore line. It was designed by Engineer E. K. Morse. It leaves the sonth shore of the Allegheny river at a point about one mile below Black's Run, on the Alle gheny Valley Railroad, and crosses to Denny station on the West Penn Rail road a distance of about 3,000 feet. The channel span, which is directly along the south shore, is 500 feet long, and the re maining three spans are each 350 feet long. The bridge crosses Fourteen-Mile island at a height of 90 feet, the total heigh: of the piers being 100 feet. The bridge ends on the north with a tresiie 45 feet high and 1,400 feet long. Dr. Martin of Grove City, is making trouble for the officials of the P. S. & L. E. R. R. and has caused some arrests to be made on charges of violating the provi sions of the inter-state commerce law. He says that a year ago Samuel Dick, President of the railroad company, pro mised him the sale of 50,000 tons of coa! in Montreal. The Enterprise Coal Com pany started to mine the coal, but they found they could not get cars from the railroad company to haul it. The rate made to them was $i per ton to Buffalo. The found they were undersold there at ft 35 per ton. While they were refused cars, Dr, Martin alleges, it was discover ed that the mines with which Wick and Filer were dealing could get all the cars they needed, Last April, it is charged, President Dick, of the railroad company, told the Enterprise Company people that they need not take any trouble to get the Mon treal coal trade for this year. He said to just put in their bid at fi 65 per ton to Buffalo. The intimation given was that it would be all right and they would get the trade. They put in their bid, but did not get the contract. When the time came they found that President Dick himself had taken the contract and was putting the coal from competing mines into Montreal at the rate of $1 45 to Buffalo. This was 20 cents per ton leys than could be done at actual cost at a freight rate of $1 per ton. President Dick, Filer anil the Bell, Lewis and Yates Company, of Clearfield county, it is claimed, an; getting all the contracts along the line of the railroad, or else are giving them to such operators as they please. They can do this by the discrimination in rates, and the discrimi nation varies as much as 25 cents per ton. The consequence is that mines that are not favored have no show at all, and are shut our ot business. Certain mines, it is stated, were never successful until a few months ago, when Filer got control of their output. Now they are running full. The Enterprise Company's mines, in contrast, have been forced to shut down and are now filled with water. This has made the owners desperate, and stirred them up to make a fight.
