rule will be convenient to business men
and postoftice department alike. — Ex.

snch a holiday in our Encyclo. and

ACCIDENTS.
John W. Maloney of 144 Monroe St.,
Butler met with a terrible accident last
Saturday afternoon from the effects of
Which he died next day. He was a con
ductor on a construction train of the
Bessie R. R. and while the train was
in motion along Thorn creek he fell be
tween the cars to the track and the
wheels passed over both legs severing
one and l>adly mangiing the other. He
was brought home, and every effort
made to saye his life, but he died Sun
day evening,
James Currie, a son of George Carrie
of Zelienople formerly of Cherry twp.,
was killed in a coal bank in Washing
ton Co. last week. He lighted a fuse
for a 'shot' and stepped around the cor
ner into the next room to avoid the ex
plosion but the blast broke through the
wall and killed him.
Harvey Hoffman of Parker twp. was
killed by the fall of a tret; last Sattir
day. He felled a tree that lodged ou a
sapling, then he cnt the sapling and tht?
tree-fell npon him. He lived from nine
o'clock until five that afternoon. He
wan a single man and unmarried.
Our Board i>t TiiUlc.
"All bands save Butler was the spir
it of the lilacs meeting of the citizens of
Butler in the Court room last Friday
evening. The stagnation of the oil pro
during interests, caused by a 83 ceat
market, and the threatened annihila
tion of our plate gla-s plant by the Tru-t
have brought to all a realization of the
fact that something must be done to
encourage the establishmen tof more in
dustries here, in order to retain our
population and increase it if possible.
The meeting of last Friilav evening
was the first one of the kind generally
attended by the men of the town ; the
speakers were in earnest; a Board of Di
rectors was elected.and he'p was offered
by local capitalists: Several men of
means of the town have offered SI,OOO
each R) aid in establishing legitimate
industries here, baf no fakes need ap
plv. The Board is now iu shtpe to a-.d
genuine affairs, either by donation or
by taking stock, and asks for proposi
tions either from loi - al inventors an I
mechanics, or from outsiders.
At the meeting of the B »:ird, Tues
day evening. President Loighner select
ed several committees consisting ea ■ 1
of two niemljers of the B >anl an 1 on ?
outside member.
Another meeting will be held
next Tuesday evening, and the work
will be done systematically.
Butler is as desirable a town to live
in as there is in this climate. It has
several miles of paved streets; it is well
watered, and sewered, and lighted; it
has first class stores and markets; it
is connected with all the great railroad
systems that pass through the western
part of the state, and above all its .?up
ply of natural gas is unlimited and i.v
exhanstable.
There is enough idle m.iney in bank
in Bntler to start a dozen different kinds
of profitable institutions,all that is need
ed is genius and confidence; and any
body and everybody who knows a good
thing should perfect his plans and 9nb
mit them to the Board, immediately.
THE MEETING.
Nearly fonr hundred Bntlerites, the
Germania band, and lots of enthusiasm
and s< nsible talk as to the l»est way to
boom Butler combined to make a very
lively Board of Trade meeting last Fri
day evening. If the spirit of that;meet
ing is kept alive it means much good to
Bntler, Pettr Schenk acted as chair
man and he,. Alex Mitchell. Levi M.
Wise, and Ira McJunkin Eaqs. and Dr.
J. M. Leighner, .T V Ritts, Frank An
derson, Major C E Anderson, L. C.
Wick. W T Rnmberger and others
made remarks, the gist of which was
abont this: Bntler needs additional in
dustries to .keep the town alive, we
must get them; it takes money, we
must raise the money and all go down
into our pockets in doing so, pull to -
gether for Butler.
A committee canvassed the audience!
and fifteen new members were added to
the Board, which numbers considerably
over one hundred. The election for di
rectors resulted as follows;
First Ward, L. C. Wick, W. H. Lar
kin, J. H. Harper; Second I. J. McCand
less,, C. N. Boyd, Frank Kohler: Third
Peter Schenk, Wm. Campbell, J. M.
Leitfhnei; Fourth J. V. Ritts, J. Kauf
mail, John Younkins; Fifth J. H.
Trontman, L. S. McJunkin, Geo. Shiav
er.
After the open meeting the directors
met and elected the following officers.
Pres. J. M. Leighner; V. Pres. C. X.
Boyd and J. H. Trontman; Sec'y Geo.
Sheiver, Treas. Win. Campbell. L. C.
Wick, I. J. McCandless and Frank Koh
ler Esq. were appointed H ways and
means committee to take practical steps
in the matter of raising money.
Along with the great number of offers
from fake factories who are mere swin
dlers, the Board of Trade receives fre
quent offers of a reliable and practical
businesss nature, and if it has some
money at its disposal sainu gjod indus
tries can be brought into the town.
Steps to raise funds, perhaps by the
monthly payment plan suggested by
Mr. Wick or by direct donations as sug
gested by Mr. Kitts, will be at once
be taken. The local outlook is really
not so bad as at first sight it appears.
While Standard oil prices knock the
bottom out of that .business, the Plate
Glass works on Saturday demonstrated
that it is here to stay and iti a most
prosperous condition. The planing
And flour mills and nearly all other
local industries are finding plenty of
business, the construction of a new
railroad which is to run through But
ler county has been commenced; and
judging from present indications, we
would say that more coal and limestoue
territory will be developed in Butler
county during 1898 than in any five
years together of its previous history.

In a decision lately written by Judge
Stowe, of Pittsburg, in an oil-lease case
he says: "It seems to me that when a
lease is dependent for its continuance
upon its pnxlucing sufficient to pay.
and a certain portion of such product is
to be given the lessor as rent, the lessee
is bound to operate continuously and
with reasonable diligence, and a failure
to do so for an unreasonable length of
time, thereby preventing the lessor
from obtaining any rent, should be held
as a forfeiture of the lessee's rights un
der the lease, if the lessor chooses to
take advantage of it.

day morning with men anxious to hear
the proceedings 011 the petition of F red
Klingler for the appointment of a re
ceiver for the Plate (ilass Works. Mr.
Klingler was the only witness called,
and as the ordinary rules of evidence do
not apply to proceedings in equity he
was forced to disclose his dealings with
John Pitcairn. President of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass Co.. which is general
ly spoken of as the Plate Glass Trust.
His evidence killed his case and he
withdrew his petition, but the evidence
was taken by "two stenographers and
will l>e used bv the defense in the pro
ceedings to foreclose the second mortg
age bonds, and on Monday the Stan
dard Plate Glass company, by its at
torney. James R. Sterrett, filed a pre
cipe in a damage suit against John Pit
carin, president of the Pittsburg Plate
Glass company. The statement says
the concerns have been at odds, an ef
fort to get the Standard to join in a
combination having failed. Then an
attempt was made in the Butler county
court to have a receiver appointed for
the Standard company. It did not
avail It was believed that the Pitts
burg company was behind the move
ment. The damage suit resulted
the trouble.
The directors of the Standard Plate
Glass Company are preparing an ans
wer to the suit instituted by tin- Fidel
ity Title and Trust Company, of Pitts
