There were 28 judgments entered in 1 the Prothonotary's office on Monday and 25 on Tuesday. At a hearing, before Esq. Gilghri.-tf. Drs. McMichael and Allison weie held for court, in S3OO. each, on a charge <Tf practicing medicine without register ing. 1 The will of John C. and Maria B.

Allen, the New Castle contractor who lately assigned, to recover wages due them for work on the State Normal School building at Slippervrock. The accounts aggregate SI7OO. Deputy Attorney General Wilbur F. Reeder has advised State Treasurer B. J. Haywood that county commis sioners snould insist on the collection of the tax regardless of the opinioir of Judge Acheson.

Tin* Supreme Court has decided that poultry running at large is wild game, and the partv on whom they trespass has a perfect right to kill them. L nder this decision a man who runs a garden, adjoining the premises of a man who keeps chickens, ought to be able to keep his table fairly supplied with poultry. This would affirmatively solve the question of whether it pays to keep a garden. There was a base-ball match or mix up in Esq. Gilghrist.s office last Friday afternoon. Hames and Blue sued Jack son Robinson, the colored manager of the Butler Base Ball team of the past summer for some back salary . Robinson referred them to John Jack who acted as Treasurer and Secretary and kept the account in the name of Robinson & Jack . Jack said all the money was gone, and the Esq. gave judgment in favor of ball players against Robinson. "Reason is the life of the law." saith the great master, Coke; "nay, the com mon law itself is nothing else but rea son." Now* reason is that power by which we are able to combine means for particular ends. For example, as we learn from am address from Mr. Everett, son of his distinguished father, a gen- i tleman who sat in Congress lately and who now aspires to the chair of Govern or of Massachusetts, a poor clergyman ' was anxious to obtain hymn books < cheaply for his congregation, and was delighted to hear from a firm that it i would supply them gratuitously, pro- ; vided they might contain certain adver tisements. The books were received. '■ and the minister, who expected the ad vertisements to be on separate leaves, which could be torn out, was surprised not to see any in the books. But on the 1 first Sunday after, the congregation fonnd themselves singing: Hark, the herald angels sing, Bullhead's pills are just the thing; Peace on earth and mercy mild, Two for a man and one for a child. This was the combining of means to a particular end, the exercise of reason, which is the life of the common law. The preacher bargained with all the terms plainly before him, and if he did not grasp their possible meanings, that was his own fault. Through failure to do so he suffered much ridicule; all the world has laughed at him, but there could be no recovery for him at law. He should have known what he was do ing.—News. PROPERTY TRANSFERS.

We have had our political wave, our wave of financial depression and our tariff wave and now the country has set tted down to something like growing prosperity and proposes to enjoy the wave of mirth and merriment which comes to us with the year s theatrical season, which, like spring, is one of the most welcome of the many when it ful fills our wishes and proves true to its destined purpose- that is, to drive dull care away. Perhaps of the many enter tainments now before the public, none will be more welcome here and so ade quately fill the bill in all respects as the '•lsle of Champagne" opera company, which comes to the Park Theatie on Saturday, with Richard Golden and Miss Kathering Germaine as co-stars in the leading roles. Two artists of such opposite method are seldom met in con junction and that is perhaps one reason why this opera eclipses so many others in the theatrical orbit and why the theatre-going public is so highly de lighted with their empyrean transit. Mr. Golden is a high-class comedian who has won fame and gained friends and reputation by his ability to make people laugh. Miss Germaine is one of the most beautiful women and sweet est singers that ever graced a stage and first won great prominence as Francisco in DeKoven & Smith's opera. The Fenc ing Master. PAYTON'S BIU COMEDY COMPANY. During next week Payton's big com edy company will hold the boards at the Park Theatre.

The train left Butler at 5:30 a. m. and ar rived at the big bridge about noon. The bridge is a trestle-work structure span ning Kinzua creek. It is over iJOO feet high and probably half a mile lone. After a short stay at the bridge the ex cursionists came back to Kane, 15 miles this way. That afternoon the Kane baseball club played a game with the Foxburgs. Kane was ahead in the score, but the game was given to Fox burg through some misunderstanding. Then the Butler football team and the Kanes got after each other. Both teams showed a need of practice and coaching, although they put up a fairly good game Kane scored one touchdown and won the game 6to 0. Considering that the Kane club averaged at least fifteen pounds more per man than the Butlers, our Injys done well indeed. The Butler players were H. Miller, A. Donaldson. E. Lantz, U. Williamson. B. McCntch eson, C. Linn. W. Hayes, B. Forsythe, C. Smith, E. Negley, and R. Ritchey. Hayes had his hand hnrt during the game, and C. A. Koos, of Parker,finish ed in his place.

Fourteen ladies, married and single, of Lebanon, congregated at the home of Jonas Houser. at Fairland, last week, where they tendered a genuine surprise to Mrs. Houser, who reached the 80 th milestone in life. After a lunch was served the women went to the woodpile and sawed a lot of wood for the old couple, which was immensely enjoyed. The schools of the State Institution for Feeble Minded of Western Pennsyl vania at Polk were formerly opened by special exercises last Thursday. The attendance was about 2,000, and nearly and nearly every country MI the State was represented. Special trains were run from Titusville. Oil City. Franklin, New Castle, Mercer and Sharon. The 26 large buildings, all connected by a corridor, were inspected by the guests between the hours of 1 and 3 o'clock. The exercises in Kerlin hall consisted of prayer by Rev. Dr. T. Edwin Brown, pastor of the First Baptist, church of Franklin and singing of "America" by special choir. Addresses were made by Judge C. Heydrick, of Franklin, pres ident of the building commission: S. M. Jackson, of Apollo, president of the board of trustees and Maholon H. Dickinson' of Philadelphia, president of the board of charities. On Saturday last judgements were entered in Franklin against Senator W. H. Andrews, of Titusville, to the amount of nearly $19,000. The largest single claim wss in favor of attorney Julins Byles, of Titusville, who is said to be doing business for the W. B. Roberts estate. Mr. Andrews owns an extensive stock farm inCherrytreetown ship, with some oil production, and al so has laud in Crawford county. John J. Sullivan, of Allegheny, secured work at the Vulcan foundry, in New Castle, and boarded a Pittsbnr g and Western freight t-iain to save fare. Near EUwood City he noticed that sonieth ing was wrong with one of the axles of the car. The train stopped on the grade and Sulliv an jumped bown. The train had stopped on a trestle, and he fell 60 feet to the rocks. He screamed as he fell and a brake man found him unconcious. He re vived snfficently to tell about the axle, and probably saved the tram. He had both arms broken and was otherwise injured, and now lies at the hospital in a critical condition. At the Cambridge fair, last Friday Miss Minnie Lamont. the aeronaut, had a narrow escape from death. She made a balloon ascent, and when about half a mile high she cut loose from the balloon and made the parachute drop. She struck in French Creek, just below the iron bridge, where the water is ten feet deep. Her hnsbrnd. Prof. Bassett, plunged in and kept her afloat until a boat rescued them. It required the services of physicians to restore the lady to consciousness. The Martinsburg W. Va. Improve ment. Loan and Building association has failed with a loss to stockholdars of SBO,OOO. The only hope of the stock holders is that the association will rea lize on its loans to the Brooklyn Bra-is works and the Auburn Wagon com pany, aggregating SBO,OOO. These in dustries are now being operated by re ceivers. The assocation was organized to loom the town in 1892, and since then $200,000 has been sunk .and a dozen wealthy men broken. The town's busi ness iw severely shocked and more fail ures are expected. Many poor people lose their sayings in the failure. Two prisoners escaped from jail at Welsh, W. Va. Monday night, by dig ging through a brick wall. One had been convicted of inurdar. The big pot glass works at Bellefonte Pa. started up yesterday, after recently doubling its capacity. Monday night burglars tortured and robbed Mrs. Mershimer and her son Adam, who is a cripple, living in Law rence county. One day last week Eli Campbell, of Westmoreland Co. went out hunting. In the woods he met two men with guns. They made inquiries about a good place to find squirrels. Campbell went with them to a place where they found some squirrels. His friends did not get a shot, but Campbell shot three. His companions proved to be detectives who arrested him and took him to Latrobe where he was fined $lO for each squirrel killed and $5 costs— s3s in all. He will be pretty careful with whom he hunts game- put of sea son in the future. Low Prices in Musical Goods. Some special prices at Grieb & Lamb's dissolution sale now going on.
