Dear Sir: There is going to be, from now on, in Butler a good deal of paint ing done, that will last in good condition from 3 years up — 10 years is common: we know of it good in 15: and we know no limit -it seems to be likely to last as long as the house lasts, in favorable con ditions. The painter that uses this paint will get all the business he can do. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. It looks as good as any; costs no more:and is ready —no tinting or mixing to do. The zinc is ground in with the lead by machinery— you can't do it. Test it yourself, if you like: but there is plenty of evidence for it We take the risk of how it turns out—there is no risk. Do you want this work? Yours truly, 13 F. W. DEVOE & Co. Centennial Celebration Washing ton, 1). C.

Jacobs a former clerk inthti Sutton Pharmacy in Butler, committed suicide at McDonald Pa. on Thursday last by hanging himself to a bed pest.

The disaster to the C. and P. Express along the bank of the Ohio, near Beaver last Tuesday night caused by the bank being washed by the flood, resulted in the death of but one man (the Express Messenger, who w«s drowned in his car) though the engineer had a foot cut off, and several others were bruised. Just how a train of five cars, three containing passengers, could take that awful plunge in the darkness roll from 16 to 20 feet to the rirers edge and yet net be attended by appaling loss of life is past the conjecture of old-time rail road m en.

Nineteen are known to have been killed by the collapse of the roof of the Pacific glass works in San Fran cisco last Thursday, while the roof was crowded with men and boys watching the game between the foot ball teams of the University of California and Leland Stanford university. Two hundred men and boys had gathered on the sheet iron roof of the glass works to obtain a free view of the f'M>t ball game. About 20 minutes after the game had commenced there was a crash, and a portion of the crowd on the root went down. The fires in the furnaces had been started for the first time that day and the vats were full of liquid glass. It was upon these that the victims fell. Some were killed instantlly and others were slowly roasted to death. The few who missed the furnaces rolled off. and, together with workmen in the glass works, saved the lives of many by pull ing them away from their horrible rest ing place. A. A. Cooper, one of the contractors for the Poor Farm barn lately fell from tbe barn but was not seriously hurt, anil it w;is he whom came near being crushed between the cars at Valencia some days ago.
