Reform in the Smoky City is becoming chronic. Pitts burg is realy not as bad as it thinks it is. Father Pitt appears to be a sort of moral hypochondriac. He tries to per suade himself that he is very wicked, and is constantly confessing his sins, when the probability is that Pittsburg, in proportion to population, is not a very great deal worse—perhaps not more than ten times worse—than But ler. —ln a lonely telegraph tower at Wal ton, on tbe Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston railroad, Mrs. George Wil son of Monongabela City, the operator, midnight Sunday was struck down for revenge by a ruffian's blow, her body dragged to the gaping door of a coal stove, where her head was thrust iu, and as tbe flames caught her disheveled tresses the murderer tripped upon a le ver, which threw a red block 011 an ap preaching train and warned its crew of danger.

"Well, you might as well take youi time now," said the clerk, as ho up proached the excited would-be-purchas er—"your car's gone. ' So he bought a corn popper and wait ed for the next car.—Ex.

Re cent experiments by Dr. Leonard Ptas son,State Veterinarian,on the immuniza tion of cattle from tuberbular infection by vaccination, seem to prove that cat tle can be thoroughly, protected from the disease in that way. The query then arises, if cattle can be made im mune from tubercular infection by the injection of an antitoxine, why cannot the same process be applied to human beings? This is surely a subject wor thy of the profoundest study and inves titration. If smallpox and diphtheria can be rendered harmless by the injec tion of antitoxines, why not tubercular consumption?

The attraction at the Park Theatre on Friday evening will be those two funny men, McAvoy and Mack, in their new up-to-date musical comedy success, "Finnigan's 400." Both of the stars are so well known to the theatre goers that it is only necessary to say that they are the same funny fellows as before, with the exception that little Mack takes a few harder knocks from his tall friend. What there is of a plot tells of the struggles of poor Timothy Finnigan who is trying to get into the eociety of the swell 4(H). But this, however, does not interfere with the introduc tion of specialties by McAvoy and Mack etc. A WARM MATCH.—FEB. 14.

A. KeJly in the same neighborhood. Burg lars tools and keys were found on Mil ler's person. He is said to have served terms in the penitentiary for assault in Clarion county and for stabbing two men in Oil City. Nine truste. sof the Clarion Normal School are under arrest for bribery. The relatives of Mrs. Charles P. Fair, who. with IK r hu«bnnd. was killed in France last AuguPt. have commenced action, in Nev\ York, to set aside an agreement which they entered into with Mrs. Theres I Oelrichs and Mrs. Vir ginia Vanderbilt, sisters of Charles Fair, not to start a contest over the estate. By the agreement Mrs. Nelson was to receive $ 125,000 and her daugh ter's jewelry, valued at SIOO,OOO It was claimed at th'j time that under the Cal ifornia laws. Mr. Fair outlived his wife, and therefore his relatives were entitled to his estate, estimated at $6,000,090. Mrs. Fair's relatives now say they arc prepared to prove that she lived 150 min utes longer than her husband and as he had executed a will leaving his estate to her, they are entitled to all of it.

It is belieyed that as it has now been modified the Bankruptcy law is the best Ihe country lia# ever had. Its provisions have been so framed as to give the honest but unfortunate debtor a fair chance and at the same time to afford the creditor, who. after all, is entitled to some consideration, an effective pro tection against fraud. Perhaps the most important of the changes which have just been made is that which re lieves the creditor from the obligation of returning payments which have been made on account in order to share in the general distribution. The rule upon this point which was laid down by the courts lacked the elements of fairness and common sense. This was the point upon which the commercial organiza tions concentrated their efforts.
