of James Young of Butler twp. vs Robt

were submitted to Judge S. H. Miller,
specially presiding, for opinion, last
Friday. Hervey was to have paid
Young $22,000 for Young's farm west
of town, but refused to take the place
because Young could not trace his titgi,
beyond Wm. Borland, who died in 186 i,
and because an old recognizance is un
patisfied. Young claims his title is in- :
disputable because he has been in un
disputed possession for over 21 years,
and because the recognizance was merg
ed in a judgment ana sheriff sale as the
property of David Borland in 1870. J.

That New Jersey jury in the Biggar-
Bennett will case rendered a strange
verdict. They acquitted Laura Biggar
of conspiracy, and conyicted her two
associates. The alleged conspiracy was
one to secure a share of the Bennett
estate in Pittsburg on the claim that
the woman was his wife. If it was false
that she was his wife how could she
have sworn that she was without par
ticipating in the conspiracy!; If she
was his wife bow could the two men
who supported her claim have been
guilty of conspiracy'/ 1

dlers license.
A contest for control of Butler twp.
has been precipitated between the farm
ers and old re&idcnts and the Lyndora
Lnnd Co. by the appointment of W. J.
Hughes Justice of tne peace for Lyndo
ra, which is part of the township. The
occasion for Hughes' appointment
arose when Elias Shakeley moved from
his farm to Butler and resigned as Jus
tice. Hughes came from McKees
Rocks where he is said to have been a
Justice, last fall and lived at a hotel in
town. His friends secured his appoint
ment by Gov. Stone, and, it is said, on
the day Hughes received his commission
he moved form the hotel to the town
ship and open an office. The law re
quires that a man to hold the office of
Justice of the Peace must have been a
resident of his bailwick at least a year,
which makes Hughes ineligible. Citi
zens of the towshin express indignation
and of proceedings in MUO warran
to. It is understood an effort will be
made to elect Hughes for a tive year
term, at the coming election.

There will be one in the afternoon for
boys from Bto 5 o'clock. The ladies of
the auxiliary will serve refreshments
during these hours. In the evening at
7 o'clock the mens reception will begin.
An orchestra will in attendance. There
will be a gymnasium exhibition and the
evening will wind up with a free-for-all
song service The ladies will serve
from 7 to 9.
This is open house day and the invita
tion is to all men, whether they have
been in Butler c,qe day or SJo yoars:
whether they have 1 suit of clothes or
15; whether they have been to church
during the last five years or not; or
whether they have any money or not.

ACCIDENTS.
Mi=s Clara Hoffman's dress took fire
' from some burning papers, in the yard
of G. A. Rees on Institute hill, and she
was badly burned.
Chas. Sarver fell from the t-caffolding
of a new house in Lincoln Way, a few
days ago and fractured one of his ankles.
Leslie Irwin of Institute Hill had a
[ leg injured by the explosion of a keg of
powder, last week. *
The worst railroad accident that hap
pened last week, was on the Grand
Trank R. R. in Canada. An express
train, 1 tinning at 50 miles an hour,
through a blinding tnow storm, crashed
into a freight: the passenger cars were
telescoped, aud twentv-eight people
were killed, and thirty-two injured.
Zero weather, people pinned in the
wreck, and a fire that was put out by
gathering snow, adde.l to the horror of
the scene.
Hugh Conley's boy aged about 5 years
swallowed a double pointed tack or
staple a few days ago and as yet the
tack has caused him no pain or trouble.
Some months ago a son Will Bort
mas of Duffytown, swallowed a round
tin whistle, big as a silver dollar and
it went through.
Our doctors are notified almost every
! day of children swallowing marbles
aud pieces of money.
