proving.
PARK THEATRE.
iMSi!
TUESDAY OCT. 10TH.
There is the life and fire, the richness
of the far away India, the pomp of
military glory and the circumstances of
war in' The Cherry Pickers, the stir
ring plav announced for appearance at
the Park Theatre, Tuesday, Oct. 10.
The mere fact that it is a Pitou pro
duction conveys volumes as that famous
manager has never attempted anything
but what has proven thoroughly artistic
and entirely first class. The Cherry
Pickers being a veritable East-Indian
military romance contains many scenes
of unusual interest and allords remark
able scope for rich colorings and effects.
It is jvi-ottenwd l>y a etroutf company in

THE CARPETBAGGER-THURSDAY,
OCTOBER 12.
Mr. Hepburn Johns, the dramatic
critic of the Chicago Chronicle, in a
criticism on "The Carpetbagger, "says
"It is a great and good American play.''
It is in this play, a political, romantic
comedy, that the eminent comedian
Tim Murphy will be seen at the Park
Theatre Thursday evening. Oct. 12
"The Carpetbagger" is a clean-cut
comedy of American manners, the time
chosen being the reconstruction period
in the South after the war of the rebel
lion; the hero a carpetbagger in the
Governor's chair in Jackson, Miss., and
its chief thread on interest, a love story
of the good old kind, which it is to be
hoped our fathers, as well as our moth
ers, used to make. An impressive
picture of reconstruction times in the
South is drawn, but the great dramatic
interest lies in the human and absolutely
natural characters moving in an inter
esting story. The play is conceived in
the best artistic spirit, and its execution
is really beautiful. The story is devel
oped in a series of situations which are
by turn humorous, tenderly suggestive
of pathos and dramatic. The dialogue
is humorous and witty.
Gi*un<l Opera House I'ittsburg
The Grand Opera House, Pittsburg,
next week announces what is to be the
greatest bill of the year, a stupendous
production of that really great war play
'"Across the Potomac." When the
Grand Opera House sets out to do a
thing, they usually do it well, and so it
may be expected that with promises
such as are now made "Across the
Potomac" will be presented in a more
lavish manner than ever before. There
are to be a hundred people on the stage
in the great battle scene and the artists
have been at work on the scenery for
this production for many weeks.
"Across the Potomac" is by Augustus
Pitou, and was produced originally in
New York, where it made even a great
er success than that famous play
"Shenandoah." It is called better tnau
"The Heart of Maryland" and more
intense than "Held by the Enemy."
Another feature of next week's bill
at the Grand will be the Biogragh
pictures of the Dewey celebration and
parade in New York City last week, so
that those who did not witness the wel
come given to the hero of Manila will
see the next best thing.
—The death of five of the finest cows
in the herd of Messrs. Miller & Sibley,
which were on exhibition at the Toron
to Fair, created quite a sensation and
011 investigation by the proprietors it
was found that one of the employes, be
ing over zealous to capture prizes, had
injected cold milk into the udders of
the cows before the judges came around.
This was for the purpose of giving the
udders a ffill and rounded appearance.
The judges, however, delayed their in
spection for several hours and the
foreign milk caused inflammation and
blood poisoning from which the cows,
valued at several thousand dollars, died.
It is needless to state that the proprie
tors were outraged at the trick of their
employe, and in a manly letter to the
public, they speak of the great humili
ation caused them by the deed. Being
in the business for the pleasure of breed
ing the finest strain of cattle regardless
of the pecuniary gain, the : .r feelings
can well be imagined.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
In the suit of assumpsit brought by
.J. S. Wick against L. C. Wick at A. I).
No. 54 Dec. Term 1897, the Court dis
missed the exceptions to the finding of
J. M. Galbreath. Esq.. Referee and
sustained his rei»ort allowing an appeal
to the higher court on bill sealed.
The history of this case is this. J. S.
Wick was the owner and in possession
of a coal yard at Harmony this county,
on September Kith. 1800. he also owue l
much other personal property, book ac
counts, notes aud bank accounts, which
be turned over to L. C. Wick by bill of
sale and ex ecuted Power of Atty. The
whole with interest when suit was
brought aggregated '3207. *7.
,T. S. Wick, plaintiff, contends that
aforesaid transfer of his propTtv was
made conditionally viz. that he had
debts aud L. C. Wick was to dispose of
property and collect enough money to
pay his debts and return surplus if any
remained to him. Plaintiff says uo
debts were paid, no property was re
turned or consideration paid him what
ever and therefore he brought this suit.
The Referee found that the bill of
s-le was conditional and that no pos
.'ssion was taken of the property under
it until Oct. Bth or 10th. 1890, and in
his report charged L. C. Wick, deft.,
with its value from that time.
The Referee found that deft, owed
plf. principal and interest, on June loth.
1899. $1595.43, and that on same date J. !
S. Wick owned deft. $1878.35 leaving a j
balance in favor of deft, of *282.92.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
has recently rendered several decisions
of general interest in the matter of road
tax. The right of farmers to work out
tbeir road tax has been generally con
ceded ; supervisors in a few townships
insisted that the tax must be in money.
A test case has been decided in favor of
the taxpayers and their right to work
out the tax distinctly and finally affirm
ed. In other cases collectors of road
tax have claimed a commission on the
part worked out, as well as that paid
into the township treasury. The su
preme court decided that all claims for
such commission should be rejected, the
working out of tax imposing no
labor on the collecter or treasurer, but
on the supervisor, who is paid for his
services.

(ii i sr..
If Butler does not have a street car
line in the near future it will not be
from lack of liberality on the part of
the Town Council, which has granted a
company composed of J. \ . Ritts, John
Berg, Chas. Duffy, Albert Reiber and
J. B. McJunkiu, a franchise of all our
streets for a single-line track, for all
time.for practically nothing.i.e. nothing
for ten years, then a hundred dollars a
year for five years more, then two-hun
dred dollars a year for five years more
and so on rill it reaches SSOO a year as
the limit.
The Company refused to agree to pay
a percentage of their receipts for the
reason that if they extended their lin.-s
beyond the borough limits it would be
in possible to tell what percentage would
be coming to the town, and the Com
mittee gave in to them, and as there is
nothing in this ordinance to prevent
this company from selling their fran
chise. it probably means a street
car line to Pittsburg.
The ordinance names Main St and
nearly all the principal streets of town,
and such other streets as the conipan}*
may need, requires them to begin work
within eight months and have two miles
of track completed and cars running
within two years.and thereafter to build
one mile of track each year for three
years.
It requires "girder" rails on all lines
five round-trips over the whole line
each week-day. makes the fare five cts.
from oa. m. to 11 p m and 10 cts from
11 p. in. to oa. in. requires iron poles:
that the Co. keep the street between the
rails in good repair, ballast with stone
between the rails on clay streets and
two feet on each side.etc. etc.
The franchise is not an exclusive one.
and the ordinance excepting the
section regarding compensation, is
a very good one. It was read
over slowly to Council. Tue3day
niglit. and after some high-flown ora
tory adopted as a whole.without amend
ment, Jos Graham of the Ist Ward,
alone, refusing to vote for it. One of
the Committee compared its adoption to
that of the Declaration of Independence
and another thought that street cars
would lift Butler from the lowest depths
of despair to the seventh heaven of in
dustrial prosperity etc. "What fools
we mortals be." Whether the Council
blessed or c ursed the town that night
mav not be found out till long after
most of us are in our graves.
