The feet of their horses "balled." —J. V. Ritts, A 1 Reiber, J. H. Trout man and other local capitalists are said to have formed a wholesale grocery company. —lnportant property transfers in Batler indicate the strenuousness of the Building Boom that will prevail in But ler,: this year. —The "rag-time millionare" is the name of a new waltz that some of the boys of this town have learned to their cost and sorrow. —As Veneznela has refused his offer of a loan, it might be well for Mr. Car negie to start a library in Caraccas, and stock It with books on political econo my. --Susan B. Anthony says that Har vard graduates do not make the best fathers. It would be interesting to know what brand of education, in her estimation, does make the best male pa rent. —James Meeks, a coal-miner living near Hilliard, left his house Satur day night after saying "Goodbye" to his wife. He wore only a pair of gum shoes on his feet at the time. On Mon day he ate dinner at Branchton and has not been seen since. —The residence of D. J. Craig in Tarentum was destroyed by fire early last Saturday morning. One son, Ray, aged 12 years, was burned to death, Mr. Craig and a young daughter were seri ously burned, and all more or less hurt by jumping from the second-story win dows. —A Tennessee Legislator introduced a bill making it illegal for a man to kiss women between sixteen and sixty unless the female party was his wife. The Legislature passed the bill with an amendment making it applicable only to the man who introduced it. That was justice swift and sure.—Ex. —One of our physicians remarked the other day that Butler's dirty streets needed the attention of the Board of Health worse than the few isolated oases of smallpox, and that the filthy condition of the business streets is far more threatening and dangerous to the pnblic health than are any cases of dis ease in the town —The intensly cold weather in the western states snapped the wires, and for a time. Tuesday, Chicago was cut off from communication with the rest of the world. The mercury ranged from 1 degree above zero at Louisville to 24 below in Wisconsin. In some towns a shortage of fuel caused great suffering. —The "oldest citizen" of this world, according to the Russian papers, is in the hospital at Tomac in that country. He is 200 years old. They say this statement is supported by documents. The man has bsen a widower for 123 years. He had a son, who died in 1824, Aged 90 years. He remembers seeing Peter the Great. He is bed-ridden, but mentally sound. —The dilemma of the people of Pitts bnrg over the Recorderßhip, reminded Dispatch's editor of that of the man who "was on bis way to visit for the first time a town in this region then in the primal stages of its transition from a vil lage to an industrial city. Asking a fellow-passenger on the train what hotel he had better stop at, he received this reply; "It don't make any differ once. Whatever hotel you go to, you'll wish you had gone to the other!" —The most important property trans fer in Butler, during the past few days was that of the Pape heirs to Daniel Younkius of 30 ft. front on N. Main st. —corner of North—for $12,000, or S4OO per foot front; and next after that was Will Rumberger's transfer of the old Miller property at S. McKean and E. Wayne to one of the Abrams for $9,000 or $75 per foot front. The J. F. Lowry residence on W* Pearl changed hands for $9,000 and the J. M. Miller residence on Mercer for $5,000. Butler Public Library. Miss Clara McJnnkin, Librarian, in her report off the past year says;— ?! "The library now contains 1,791 vol umes, 1,865 of which are fiction, 426 history. biography, science, politics, etc.: 164 volumes have been purchased this year and 16 volumes donated by friends; 615 cards have been made out, or that number of people have been borrowers during the year. I suppose it would be safe to say that at least two persons have access to each book loaned, which would indicate a clientage of at least I.2QP people. In a number of cases several members of one family hold cards, but the majority are aincle borrowers in a family. There has been of late months more of a demand for scientific books. Young men have inquired for works on mathe matics, electricity, philosophy and even dentistry and gardening. It would also be gratifying to have more and better reference books for the use of the school children who solicit help for their com position work. etc. There has also been a growing sen timent this year in favor of a public reading-room. So many people have inquired for one, bave come up to the library expecting to find one; so many Strangers have expressed surprise at a town of tbe population and advanced ideas in other directions as Butler is, not having a public reading room and more of a library for its people, when it could better afford one than other towns enjoying the privilege; and so many persons, young and old, have suggested the advisability of some steps being taken towards providing the town •with one. that I feel it my duty to bring the matter before the club, it being the association people would naturally ex pect to take the initative in the matter."

Stevenson and wife at Mt. Chestnut, who are desired as witnesses in the trial of the divorce-, suit of Peter K. Soffel against his wife, Kate Soffel. Speaking of outside charters an ex change remarks '"there is no inter-State comity authorizing one State to charter companies to violate the laws of other States, although New Jersey and one or two others seem to have gone into busi ness on that hypothesis." The Superior Court annulled the Juvenile Court act. last week, by de claring it unconstitutional. "The act is shown to have been in conflict with the constitution of the State in a variety of ways. There is a lack of conformity between its title and its subject. There is an attempt to create what is sub stantially a new court, while assuming to do no more than to extend the func tions and enlarge the powers of an old one. There is a classification of persons in respect of their criminal liability which is in conflict with the common law, and there is an evasion of the con stitutional mandate by virtue of which all judges must be elected by the peo ple. An appeal lies from the Superior to the Supreme court, but under the cir cumstances it would not be worth while carrying the litigation further, and the statement has been made that this will not be done." Racz Niholz, a Slav,is in jail for a&b. The jury in the Indianapolis grave robbing case agreed to disagree after being out for two days. The perplexing question in the minds of the jurors, was whether Dr. Alexander had guilty knowledge of the fact that the body of Rose Neidlinger had been unlawfully taken from the grave. They say that the matter of the insanity of Cantrell, the negro leader of the ghouls, who swore that Alexander hired him to rob graves, received very little considera tion.
