Guckenheinier Bros, are building a a liottling house on their property over the ereek near No. 8 distillery. By a recent law they can now bottle their product, and the probability is they will put all up in this way. They were forced to this by dishonest dealers who would buy a barrel of their goods,make ten barrels or moru out of it, and put it on the market as Guckenheimer whis key. The bottles they fill will have a revenue stamp on, and that will oe evi dence that it is straight goods.— Free port Journal. —The CITIZEN* has a little suggestion to make. Butler is having more streets paved this year than it had altogether before. Now when the streets are paved, let every property holder plant a nice row of shade trees along the curb. Then our streets will lie ideal. What a vast improvement a row of nice trees along each side makes on si street. How different is walking along on a smooth pavement in the shade from sweltering in the dust and hot glare of the sum mer sun. Let us have shade trees and Xilenty of thein. And it's not necessary to go away from Butler to buy them. We have horticulturalists of our own. MARRIAGE LICENSES. C E McCandless Franklin Emma L Caniahan Centre W. D.

N eiiihborl~|Oocl Notes On Friday last some twenty farmers of Westmoreland Co., drove up to the Free port bridge and tearing down the fence. Then Mr. Phillip drew a revolver and threatened to use it. He struck Mr. McElroy and Mr Steele, who were working at the fence, but D. A. Swank caught and held him. and in less time than it takes to tell it the fence was torn down and thrown into the river and the eight or ten wag ons and buggies were on their way to town. Mr Phillips came over and tele graphed to Greensbnrg what had been done. An East End, Pittsburg, man was knocked down and robbed, and then killed by being thrown from a bridge into a deep ravine, last Thursday night The police think that some of the tough gang on the new railroad are the crimi nals. William <>. Mehl. ex-Sheriff of Erie Co. suicided by hanginir last Saturday. He left a note saying he was tired of every thing in this world. The other evening, in Meadville. .">5 ladies, alumna- and students of the college, indulged in an annual dinner which figured on the program as "the annual Pan-Heavenly Banquet of the Sororities of Allegheny College." There's a rush far divorces in Law rence county. Thirty cases will be passed upon at the coming term of court. During a thunder storm Fred Green, of Meadville. sought shelter under a farm house porch, when lightning struck the house, shocked and blistered one side of Green and ripped his coat, trousers and shoe on the left side. A Fredonia constable arrested a man for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. Later on the Constable was seen wheel ing a paint cart up the street and his bicycle victim got even by having him arrested. One offense was as much a violation as the other. Representatives of the independent telephone companies of West Penn'a, Eastern Ohio and West Va., will meet in Pittsburg.

People of Mercer county shipped 2,200 bushels of shelled corn to the starving people of India, and were to send two more car loads this week. The people of Fairview, Erie countv, also contributed a car load of corn last week for the Siime object. New Castle was the scene of a terrible explosion last Saturday. The big Rosena furnace owned by Mark Hanna and ex-Senator Cameron, had been acting in a manner that led the manager. Ed Reis. to believe that something was wrong. Reis was called from his bed early in the morning and was with the men who had gone to the cast ing house to see them make a wist. They had been there but a moment when the furnace let go. and the next instant aheavy volume of coke, iron ore and coal came crashing through the roof of the casting honse, burying in the neighborhood of thirty men under the debris. The coke and other matter was flying through the air for several hundred feet and clouds of dust arose. As soon as possible order was restored, and the work of rescue began. Manager Reis was taken out with the skin hanging in shreds from his hands and arms and his legs were terribly burned and bruis ed. He could not walk, and suffered the most intense pain. He was taken home in an ambulance and will likely recover. Those who saw the ruins of the cast ing house and the large quantity of ore, coke and coal that was emitted from the top. considered it marvelous that sev eral men were not killed outright. The top of the furnace was badly damaged. The iron cage which was built for just such accidents, and which has hereto fore prevented them, was almost blown to pieces. The loss of the furnace is es timated at something like $7,000, and it will be several days before the damages can be repaired. About a dozen doc tors were called to the furnace during the excitement and the city ambulances were kept busy hauling the injured to their homes and to the hospital. rSiOTCiD.
