LOCAL AND GENERAL,
Mary had a little lamp
Twas filled with kerosene.
She kept it on the parlor sfeind.
Where it had oft "benzine."
She also had a little beau.
She thought him quite a catch:
And she put ont the light yon know
So they could "strike a match.
But while they sat there in the dark,
Behind a painted screen.
The silly lovers fear'd a "spark"
Would light the can-ess scene.
But soon a heavy sound was heard
Of footsteps big and stout.
•Twas Mary's father he inferred.
And quickly he "lit out."
Then Mary's heart was sore and sad;
Her angnish was quite keen,
But wads of pepsin gum she had,
And healing vaseline.

—The sad death of the little daugh
ter of John C. Graham is a terrible

small bowell), even though the burns be
on the limbs or head. As a rule burns
covering one third of the body are fa
tal.

D. P. Markey. of Port Huron, Mich,

the opening prayer, and Rev. Millei
pronounced the benediction. Mr.
Young stated that there were 22,000
Maccabees in Ohio and nearly as many
in Pennsylvania. The success of the
affair is mainly due to the efforts of the
committee on arrangements, Sir
Knights Bowser, Baker, and Mclntyre.

B I Geary is yet in the carpet cleaning
11 business. His steam-power carpet

day lately. Postal card or People's

and all they ask is a suitable location,
gratis. They can surely get that here.
Propositions for an iron mill, silk mill,
enamel brick works and several other
concerns, all reliable, are also under
consideration.
—Bntler's public schools will close
Friday, June 2. The High School Class
of '99 numbers thirty-five, and about
the same number will graduate from
the common schools. This is not more
than half as many as have been in the
graduating classes heretofore, but this
is explained by the arrangement that a
class will graduate next Christmas, and
hereafter classes will graduate from the
High School and from the common
schools at the Holidays and at the end
of the term, two classes from each
yearly. The High School Class Day
exercises will be held the evening of

exercises Wednesday evening, the 31st
of May. Supt Gibson is much pleased
with the work of the schools during the
present term.
A Sad Accident.
As the Maccatiees parade was passing
down Main street Monday evening,
little Elizabeth, the three year old
daughter of Attorney John C. Graham,
was sleeping in her bed-room, at her
father's home, at Clay and McKean
streets. The band music awakened
the little girl, and she ran to the win
dow to see the parade. As she passed
a gas grate her gown caught fire from
the burning gas and in an instant she
was wreathed in flames. Her screams
brought her grandmother, Mrs. W. L.
Graham, who with Elizabeth's baby
sister, was the only other person at
home. Mrs. Graham put the child in a
bath tub, turned on the water, and tore
the burning clothes from her, and had
her own hands badly burned while
doing so. Drs. Zimmerman and Bricker
were called in and dressed the burns,
but they were fatal, and she died next
evening. Funeral this afternoon at
half past two.
Tilts Poor House.
The County Commissioners expect to
decide on the location of the Poor
House today. They have had two sites
under consideration—one in the old or
chard, where the buildings would be
yisible from Butler: and the other half
a mile distant, along the Bull Cieek
road -both of course on the Doerr farm.
The latter site would be the best for
for sewerage.
The State Board of Health meets in
Philadelphia on the 27th of
and as the plans for the buildings will
have to be submitted to it, the Commis
sioners and their architect will make
every effort to have the plans ready to
1 lay before it at that time, but the long
1 delayed legal proceedings make the
1 completion of the buildings, this year,
an impossibility.
The buildings will be of brick, two
■ stories high and slate roof.

MRS. J. E. ZIMMERMAN
PARK THEATKK.
CHATTANOOGA FOR FRIDAY NIGHT.
Lincoln J. Carter's pretty and rom
antic play, "Chattanooga." which will
be presented for the first time in this
city at the Park Theatre, Friday,
April 14.
The story of "Chattanooga" is one of
love, villiany and war, and is full of
interest from start to finish. The
action of the piece is spirited and the
plot is interspersed with comedy sit
uations which happily counterbalance
incidents of a more tragic and sombre
nature. The realism is strong, being
aided by special scenery carried by the
company. The approach to the climax
of the last act is one of the most novel
ever witnessed in this city. The hero
and villian fight on the tender of a 1 ull
sized locomotive which is speeding
towards General Hooker's camp. The
biograph is utilized to give the appear
ance of rapid motion and the illusion,
with flying telegraph poles, rolling
smoke and other indications of a mile
a-minute speed is well nigh perfect.
The final scene shows the safe arrival
of the big "flyer ' at "Fighting Joe's"
headquarters. The company is one of
refinement and more than ordinary
talent and each member exhibits com
mendable earnestness.
Prominent in the cast are W. J.
Coggswell; Lem. B. Parker; Emmett
Devoy; Frederick Morton; James L.
Harding; Walter Cainbell; Robert Ell
ington; W. J. Radcliff; George Fuller;
Miss Minnie Dixon Paiker; Miss Sadie
Handy and Miss Sadie Stockton.

aif trience a few days atro which nearly
cost him his life. Mr. Irwin who is a
very feeble man. went out to a Held to
look after some farm work. While
engaged in this work he fell into a large

fibtd and which was tilled witn water
coming up about his anus, lie made a
namber of attempts to get out of lus
j>c-nl«ms position, nut v.*- unable to
release hi insult He then <'ailed for
assistance, but as he Jives In a sparsely
settled community no one heard him.
His granddaughter upon going to milk
about dusk heard what she thought
were his cries for help and upon invest
igation discovered him and tried to set
him out. She was unable to help him
any on account of his being stuck fast
in the ijjrd ajid w.v; called.
The services of four men were finally
reqnirtd to release the old man. When
he was pulled out of the hole he pre
■•-nted a piteous sight. He was nearly
frozen to death, having l>een in the cold
water tor three hours His clothes
were covered with mud and he was not
able to walk. Mr. Irwin wna immed

in warm blankets and given stimulating
