V The conviction of Policemen McGrady for th& shooting of John Bitte. alia- Miller. came as a surprise to most of our people, last week, and, perhaps, some of our attorneys will take excep tion to Judge Wilson's ruling that a policeman cannot arrest for a misde meanor excepting on sight of tbe offense committed, or on warrant for the same. But be that as it may the shooting of an escaping prisoner, accused only of a misdemeanor, could not be justified, under the law, and McGrady was con victed and sentenced. An effort will be made to secure Mc- Grady's pardon. The annual gathering of the teachers in Butler, reminds many of us that we missed tbe most interesting, important and responsible period of human exist ence by neglecting to teach school. All the great men this country has produced have, at some period of their lives, taught school, and thereby laid the foundation for their future great ness The voung men attending the Insti tute, this week, will be our future legislators, governors and presidents no others need apply—and as for the young ladies, they are destined to be the happiest of wives. 1 All the rosds of Butler county have been either too rough or too smooth, this week, owing to an unusual combi nation of frost and moisture, and that remainds us that this is a good time to talk about roads—good roads. Penn sylvania is far behind several of the states in the matter of roads, and we see it stated that Senator Sproul of Del aware county will have a road bill ready for the next legislature to consider. His plan, is the creation of a state highway commission composed of three persons, with a State engineer. It is proposed that the commission shall work with the County Commissioners, and that the expense of construction shall be divided between the state, the county and the township. An appro priation of six millions is contemplated, but only one million is to be expended in a year. This is moderate. A million dollars spread about the state every twelve months in connection with the money provided by the localities affect ed would make a most excellent start, but what is the matter with spreading tbe Flinn road bill oyer the state. It has done wonders In Allegheny county. The railroad in Cuba from Havana to Santiago, has been completed and open ed for traffic and travel. It was built by Americans and with American capi tal. It traverses the central part of the island and is called the "Back-bone railroad. What the Cubans will do with it, and how they will treat the owners of the road remains to b« seen. The ingratitude they have shown their benefactors ought to teach this Nation not to interfere too brashly in the pun ishment now being given by the Eng lish and Germans to the same blood in Venezuela—a mixture of Spanish, na tive and negro—and which they proba bly deserve. In medical circles the visit of Dr. Lor *" en z, the celebrated Vienna Specialist, to this country has made a sensation. He is a "dry surgeon" or osteopath; and be ginning with the unheralded operation on the daughter of a Chicago million oire, for which he is said to have receiv ed a fabulous fee, he has traveled ex tensively and has operated on many persons, but not on one per cent of those who have sought his services. It is probable that very many people never heard of congenital hip dislocation un til he arrived, and the number who were suddenly found to be suffering from this cause has been a matter of as tonishment. Of course they are not many compared with the eighty mil lions of inhabitants of the country, but they aggregate a large number and the public has been touched at the knowl edge of their miseries. That so many cures are possible by tbe Lorenz method is a glad surprise, since most of the yic tims have hitherto been doomed to life- lout? affliction. He is not a miracle worker, as some seem to think, but simply a surgeon of great intelligence, large experience and phenomenal strength, who performs feats that have hitherto been supposed impossible. The fact that the whole country has been interested in his work shows how strong is the feeling of sym pathy for the suffering, a feeling which finds its expression every year in the many millions that are voluntarily giv en to help suffering humanity. The coercion of Venezuela by the English and Germans has become of moment to the United States. What is known in diplomacy as a "pacific blockade" was established on Wednesday of last week and cn the same day three Venezuelan gunboats going in to the harbor La Guayra were seized with their crews,numbering over three hundred men. They are reported to have been taken out to sea and two of them sunk, under circumstances which have not been made quite clear. The British have disclaimed responsi bility for this act; which it would be difficult to justify, and which is said ie have been committed by the Germans. While these things were happening on the sea coast Castro was firing the popular heart with inflammatory procla mations at the capital. One of his first acts after the presentation of the ulti matum was to order the arrest of all the German and British subjects in the country. In some of the reports this is said to have been done in retaliation for the seizure and destruction of the Vene zuelan vessels, but other dispatches in dicate that the arrests had taken place before such seizure and destruction had become known. However that may be, they were improper, and Minister Bowen succeeded in persuading Castro to annul them. All of the arrested persons were subsequently released. x Whether the German and British Con suls, each of whom is a Venezulelan citizen, who were arrested at Puerto Caliello, have also been set at liberty remains in doubt. On Friday things took another and a surprising turn. Minister Bowen cabled the information to the Department of State at Washington that he hud been asked by President Castro tc act as mediator between Venezuela and the powers pressing for a settlemet. He was instructed in reply that he was at liberty to act in that capacity, but that it was to lie distinctly understood that in any negotiations instituted by him looking toward a settlement of the ex iting controversies by means of arbi tration he was representing Venezuela { and not the United States. In other] words, Mr. Bowen may interjiose his good offices in behalf of Venezula in this connection, jnat as in another con nection ho is doing what he can to pro tect the interests of Germany and Great Britain. On Saturday British and German veef'ls opened fire on the forts at Puerto | Cal#*llo and soon destroyed them. On Monday Italy announced that she, also, had some claims against Vene zuela, and sent some warships to take part in the "pacific blockade." On Tuesday Secretary Hay cabled to Ambassador Tower at Berlin to ask the German Government to define for this [ country exactly what is meant by a ' 'peaceful blockade." Everywhere the English go in this this world they improve the country- Their latest feat in that direction is the building of an immense dam, a mile and half long, across the Nile in upper Egypt. They are the virtual masters of that country now, and they want to in crease its value. The dam was begun several years ago, and was formally de clared opened or finished a few days ago. The purpose is so to regulate the flow of the Nile that tbe immense mass of water which used to run to waste will be impounded, so that it may be drawn upon as needed. All the sluices will be closed from December to March after the annual floods have passed and at a time when the water is free from the silt which serves such a valuable end in fertilizing the Egyptian valley. When the natural reservoir formed by the river banks is full, which will generally happen early in March, enough of the top sluice gates will be opened to let through the daily flow. In May, when the agricultural demand for water ex ceeds the normal supply, other gates will be opened and through that month and June the accumulated store of water will be gradually distributed. By July all the sluice gates will be open to permit the passage of the flood and they will remain open from that time until the shall have subsided. Then they will be closed again and the same round of operations repeated. There can be no doubt as to the im mense beneSt which this great work will confer upon the Egyptian people. In itself it constitutes a convincing vin dication of the occupation of Egypt by Great Britain, an occupation which has been in every way an unquestioned blessing to those immediately concerned. POLITICAL. Frank M. Fuller of Fayette for Secre tary of the Commonwealth: W. B. Rod gers of Pittsburg for Attorney General, and Geo. Von Bonhorst of Allegheny county for Commissioner of Banking, is reported to be Gov. Pennypacker's pros pective cabinet. Fifty-one years ago Galusha A. Grow went to Congress from a district of this state, as the successor of David Wilmot of "proviso" fame. He was Speaker of the House during the first two years of the Civil War; he is now an Octogena rian and it is understood that his speech last week, on an educational bill was his valedictory. Policeman McGrady Convicted. When the trial of Policeman James McGrady commenced last Thursday, no more than ordinary interest was taken in it, but before its finish circumstances had arisen which made it extremely in teresting, memorable and somewhat spectacular. ' The charge against McGready was manslaughter' for the killing of John Bitte, alias Edward Miller, aboilermak er employed at the car works, who orig inally came from Cincinnati, where he had been a ward politician and office holder. The evidence in the case showed that McGrady had been called to the Angert boarding house on the Island by a mes sage from Mrs. Angert to arrest Bitte who was drunk and had beaten Phil Brady, another boader, in front of the house; and a short time afterward re turned and renewed the quarrel in the the house after Mrs. Angert had order ed him to leave. It was while he was fighting in the house that McGrady was called from his own home which is across the street from Angert's. He found Bitte in front of tbe house; Mrs. Angert asked the Policeman to ar iest him: McGrady asked her if she would appear against Bitte, she said yes and he then made the arrest; Bitte walked a few steps quietly with the of ficer, when the latter tried to put hand cuffs on him; Bitte then resisted and asked why he had been arrested; he was told for disorderliness; Bitte said "I'll not stand for that;' grappled with Mc- Grady, took away his mace, knocked him down and started to run. He had gone but a few steps when McGrady raised partly from the ground, called to Bitte to stop and then fired. The bullet struck him in the left side and passed into the lower part of the plural cavity, severving an artery and Bitte died in the Butler Hospital the next day. The witnesses for the Commonwealth were mostly companions and fellow boarders with Bitte, one of whom testi fied that he was opposed to "law and order." The unexpected part of the trial came when District Attorney Henninger raised the point that McGrady's arrest of Bitte was not a legal one because the officer had no warrant, which alone would have justified him in arresting a man whom he did not see committing anv offence, and did know had commit ted one, and that Bitte had a right to use what ever force was necessaay to regain his liberty from the officer, and MeGrady had no more right tc arrest or shoot Bitte than any private citizen had. Judge Harry D. Wilson of Clarion, who presided at the trial, sustained the District Attorney, ruling that an officer without a warrant can arrest only when ho sees or knows a violation of an ordi nance or a misdimeanor committed by the prisoner or has suspicion that a felony has been committed He then instructed the jury according to the facts, adhering closely to the law, and McGrady's conviction followed Friday afternoon. This was a surprise to the public. A motion for a new trial was at once made by Attorneys McQuistion, Forquer, Painter and Murrin, Mc- Grady's counsel. One of the points raised was that since the trial com menced it was learned that one jury man had remarked that he would stay out till he rotted rather than see Mc- Grady acquitted. The motion was argued Friday evening. A crowd filling the court room to the walls during the session. The argument was continued until Saturday afternoon when Judge Wilson refused a new trial, called Mc- Grady to the Bar, and after remarking on the seriousness of the offence and the officer's evident innocenoe of wrong in tent and supposition that he was acting according to his duty, fined him SSOO and sent him to jail for two and one half years. McGrady is now in jail. General sympathy is expressed for him and an effort will undoubtedly be made to secure his pardon. He has a wife and family of little children living on West street. Concord Township. The entertainment given bv the pupils of Troutman school netted $35 dollars. The proceeds were devoted to a benevol ent purpose. Miss Cora Campbell of the "Valley" has charge of the school.

They re ceived their usual teaching wages for each day unless this amounts to more than s2"per day, that being the limit paid for institute attendance. Notes. That Butler welcomes the school teachers is shown by the fact that. Supt. Painter had offers of boarding and lodg ing for over 500 or 200 more than was necessary. Prof. H. D.

Tiic Italic o 1 ISetlileheni. Nineteen hundred years ago the B*be of Bethlehem was born. . This world awoke from darkness into a bright and glorious morn; The wise men from the East followed a bright and guiding star—it seemed so far away. At last it stood still above the stable where Christ our Saviour lay. The Shepherds Haw sights that night that we should love to see, The stars together Bang in sweetest har mony; They heard those blessed words, "peace on earth, good will to men," For unto us this day a Savior is born. Babe of Bethlehem. Nor did ho make his advent with pomp and great display; No he was born in a stable and his soft est bed was hay. At his second coming every eye shall Him behold; And he will judge the earth in rightous ness we're told. On the great last day when on the earth He will appear, The wicked snail stand before him in trembling and fear; But the rightous will rejoice, saying, hallalnla, amen; It is Christ our blessed Savior, the Babe of Bethlehem.
