Hoffman wouldn't have anything to do
with it, and theretore the lot fell on Burt
ner and he made a list of twenty or twenty
five men and notified the hotel-men not to
sell to them. Rothwbiler's name was on
the list, but as he has been behaving him
self of late, Burtner had tola the hotel
keepers that they could give him beer
when he was sober.
The Kelly case was dismissed at the
cost of the county. It should never have
been brought to Butler, and Greer told the
stenographer to write the evidenoe on the

Some Remarkable Animal's.
Johanna the Giantess Gorilla, the
Big Blue Xosed Mandril, and
many Coveted by Euro
pean Zoos.
r Among the thousand and one living
wonders in the Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth that will be seen when it
comes here on Saturday, Oot. 3rd., are
some very extraordinary animais. One is
a giantess gorilla of the species more akin
to mankind than my other, and one of
those rare apes known to naturalists a. '.he
bine-nosed mandrill. The gorilla is fa
mous by the name of Johanna and is the
widow of the great Chiko. It is the only
animal in the world known to possess a
convoluted brain and the organs o! speech,
and considered in the scientific world to
have the faculty for talking, lacking only
the inherited power to speak, as well as a
human being. It is a marvelous sight to
watch Johanna and study lier peculiar ac
tions. Sometimes she will ejaculate
strange sounds phonetically approximat
ing closely to words, will eat and drirk
in the same manner as a child. It is high
ly interesting, too, to watch the queer
antios of the creature, as it is always rest
less. This is the only animal of its kind
now in captivity anywhere. The blue
nosed mandrill is also the only ono of its
kind in the country and occupios the ad
joining apartment to Johanna. Withi ts
sky-blue nose, brilliant red, orange, and
other colors on other parts of its body the
mandrill presents a most remarkable ap
pearance and tonnß one of many interest
ing and curious groups of rare and costly
animals in the menageries. There are 24
elephants, a grenadier giraffe, an eland, an
addis, wart hog.brindle gnu, Mahay tapirs,
guib, several species of antelopes and
others that are not to be seen in any other
zoological collection either here or in Eu
rope and this fact is vouched for. A flock
ot giant ostrichos, too, is a feature with
this year's collection. The circus this year
is probadly the most meritorious of all the
wonderful exhibitions Barnum & Bailey
have ever gotten togather, consisting
solely of champions in all lines, in the
rings, in the air, or upon the ground, while
its general character for superiority is con
spicuous in everything. Indeed it is a
most amazing and bewildering exhibition,
the ne"v free street porade alone worth
coming miles to se .

regard to the death of Rev. R C Yates
Rev Rudolph C. Yates was bora in .Shen

the oldest members of Presbytery, in
length of service, and died from Mood
poisioning, at bis home in Gallery Junc
tion, Pa Aug 3, 189(5 He graduated
from the University of Va , in 1873 and
from the Western Theogioal Seminary in
1883, and in June of the same year was
ordained and installed pastor of Zelieuo
ple church, this relation ooatmued ti 1
April 1895.
As a student Bro. Yates was laithtnl
and diligent He was an earnest preacher
of tha Gospel and a conscientious, taithiul
panor He was a man of great energy
and whatever hj undertook he did it with
all hie strength.
lie had great tact in dealing with per
sons outside of the church and turning
them to a Christian life. During his pas
torate at Zelienople there were several
gracious revival <of religion and large ac
cessions to the church. Wo bear testi
mony to his faitnlulness as a Presbyterian,
wnile olten providently hindered from at
tending the meetings of Presbytery, yet.
when present he took an active part in the
proceedings and always inhibited au in
telligent interest in the prosperity and pro
gress of the whole church. The summons
came to our Brother from tne Master in
the very prime ol his life and while his
last diys were days of great suffering his
last hours were peaceful and he died in
the iaith of that Gospel whio 1 ! he had
preached so earnestly to others.
His ewrly death admonishes us to ' be
be ready, tor in such an hour as ye think
not, the Son of Man cometh.''
To the bereaved family we extend our

Ralroad Notes
The proposed "North Shore raiLoad
starts at Beaver Falls, where it connects
| with the Pittsbr.rg & Lake Erie railroad
ar..'. the Pittsburg & Northwest, projected
! by Senator William Flinn, and crosses am!
| f illows the Beaver River to its mouth. L
: then parallels tho Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
1 it Chicago railroad up the Ohio Kivur to
' Conway, where it strikes north up Conwe's
j Run. It follows that stream in a north
easterly direction and connects with the
Pittsbuig <fc Western railroad at Cattery
Junction. It crosses this line follows
Glade Run and connects with the Butler
A Pittsburg along Bull or Thorn creek.
C >;inectiom are also ma le with tho Penn
sylvania lines in Rochester. The road is
to be IS miles long, with dduble trucks,
and tho promoters say it will be bnilt be
fore next fall.
When the workmjj <Jn the new line at
to iip't* I to remove the beehives in Rubers
lot, «.»sc of the West Penn depot, tile bees
attacked them and drove them away.
The large railroad pier, opposite Walter's
iniil, aud the stone supports for the bri lge
are nearly completed. The spiles for the
pieis ot the bridge, just above the Center
Ave. bridge, have been driven. These are
cut off below the level of the ground, an 1
a frame work built upon them, upon which
the stone will rest.
THESE is considerable alarm felt iu
Canada over the much dieaded rinderpest,
which it is thought may be introduced in
to that country through the modium of
hides imported from Sooth Africa. Pro
tests have been made by the leading ex
perts in Canada, but their warning has had
on effect on the authorities as yet. Of
course a similar danger exists of the
plague being brought into the United
States. Pleuropneumonia among Cana
dian cattlo has been traced to infected
hides imported from Eagland. The danger
from this disease is of oourse as nothing
compared wirh ths ravages wrought by
the rinderpest, which is at present decima
ting so many or the herd ) in South Africa.
Wtien the disease last visited England,
over 73,000 head of oattle were attacked
by it and 41,000 died.
