gerous.
—The man who is continually brag
ging of his honesty is a good man not
to place too much confidence in.
It is funny to listen to the theo
fles of unmarried men regarding the
management of women.
—A monopoly is similar to a baby.
A man is opposed to it on general prin
ciples until he has one of his own.
—Parker twp. is going to try the
Township School idea. Now that she

—A Boston monkey has learned to
ride a wheel. With no idea of reflect
ing upon any make of wheel it may he
safely stated that the Boston creature
is not the only one.
Shirtology! The word is new, but
the subject it denotes is as old probably

science then. It is now Shirtology, the
science of a shirt.

ler club, that day. There are several
. good players on the Snnbury club and
anions them Howard the colored boy.
of last years "Cuban Giants."
- The matter of fumigating one's
premises by burning sulphur in the
dwelling and other buildings not only
fumigates them against epidemics, but
at the same time destroys all vermin
that may !>e in them, including bed
bugs, roaches, ants, &c. It is a simple
remedy, and should be applied at least
once a year.
—Every properly constituted man
dislikes to be imposed upon by liars
and t.jid-l>»:it.- Consequently every
man who excites the sympathy and se
cures the favor of nnother by posing as

himself nnworthv of such favor does an
irreparable injury to every deserving
poor man in the country.

A colored man went to sleep in the
Court room the other day, and in the
course of time began d.earning out loud
and Bert had to shake him up. Forty
years ago a celebrated wild tnrkey hun
ter of this section went to sleep in the

—After the harness roblieries in Buf

ganized a Protective Association; and

—On the Ist of July the bill permit,
ting the printing and use of private
mailing cards, with a one-cent stamp
attixeil. will go into effect. The pro
gressive business man will have his own
advertisement conspicuously displayed,
and the printing of millions of cards
will make work for the printer. The
bill is approved by the postoffice depart
ment. as it tends to popularize postal
cards, besides effecting a saving to the
government of the difference between
the cost of the cards acd she stamps.
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.

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

The police think that some of the tough

William <>. Mehl. ex-Sheriff of Erie
Co. suicided by hanginir last Saturday.
He left a note saying he was tired of

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

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.
