"Ed" Butler, the boss of St. Louis has been indicted tor the most flagrant fraud* since thedajs of Tweed. Indeed it seem - that if the New York grafter were alive now he would think that he bad Leea entirely too moderate, as Lord Clive remarked. Butler was convicted and sent to jail some years ago by the redoubtable Folk, acting as the city's prosecuting attorney, and escaped on a technicality in the indictment. Now he is again in toils, and the same testi mony which last week sent throe of a gang to jail is to be brought against him. Mrs. Maybrick, an Auieridan heiress born Florence Chanoler, wag released from an English prison, after serving fifteen years of a life sentence for poi soning her husband, last Wednesday. She went ti France, but with her mother, fne baroness de Roche, will soon appear in this country to contest some rich Virginia estates. This is the end oi a case that has attracted world-wide attention and has given rise to tbe most conflicting opinions. More preasure was brought to have the wo man pardoned soon after her conviction than in any case in modern times, but nothing ever came of it except her re lease after fifteen years, which is not uncommon where there is a doubt as to the guilt and where the prisoner has made a good record. It was often reported that Queen Vic toria was greatly opposed to any ameli oration of the sentence because she did not like reports of Mrs. Maybrick's con duct aside from tbe allegation ef mur der. Tht:Be same people expected that when the new King succeeded he would be swift to free the woman. While it is, of course, possible that tbe Queen did prevent the pardon, it is not very likely, since the home Secretary has complete control of snch matters, and while a sovereign might interfere the contingen cy is a remote one. The course punned was that which would have been fol lowed had not any efforts been made in her behalf. At Gettysburg the boys are drilling between showers, —Sunday afternoon gambling in the woods in uiore popular than profitable. —All the B.

He went to Natrona to serve a subpoena in di vorce and inquired of an officer the lo cation of the party he was looking for. The officer told bim to be careful as they were a bad lot and would shoot The Sheriff wanted him to go along, he declined, but offered the sheriff, who was unarmed, a gun. Sheriff Gibson refused it and went alone. He entered the house while the people were eating. A man jumped up from the table with a gun in his hand and said "what the b do you want?" Gibson said "sit down or I'll knock you down, I'm going to serve a subpoena on this woman and after that you can have her." The wo man said she was glad her husband was sueing. She was living with another man. Harry Snow has been lodged in jail on a charge of felonious shooting made against him by his father, last year. The contest over the estate of Martin Wahl, dec'd, of Evans City, has been settled, tbe widow agreeing to take un der the last will which gave her one third of his estate absolutely and the remainder to his sons. Letters of ad ministration under tbe will were grant ed to her. The estate amounts to sl2-, 000. It was claimed by the widow that Wabl had divided $50,000 worth of prop erty among his children at the time of bis marriage to her. Eighteen cases have been entered on the criminal docket for September term. A charge of rape has been entered against W. C. Cochran, the man who assaulted Mrs. C. J. Shaffer, near Hall- Bton. C. M. George, formerly of this coun ty, was sentenced in the Allegheny county criminal court, last Saturday, to six years in the pen. for the killing of G. W.

Both women, according to the evidence, wore loose morally; and when Miss Cupim gave birth to a baby, Schopfer put her out of the house. Mrs. Schop fer, sometime after induced Schopfer to make a will in her favor, and then the women conspired to kill him. Several plans were considered and they settled ujx>n getting him drunk by drugging his beer; then shooting him in bed, and making it out a case of suicide. This was done and the scheme worked out well, bat Miss Cupps told a man named Jahn, who bad secured the revolvers for them all about it; the two women and Jahn quarrelled over the division of the property, and Jahn told on them. On Tuesday the women were on the stand, and denied everything. The case is yet on. PIIOPERTY TRANSFERS. Zelienople Land Co to W H Gel bach l#t in Zelienople for S2OO. Albert Smith to H. and C. E.

Thompson crawled up the ladder, and fell head first, but be fore reaching the water twisted hims-lr so that he alighted on his back makii g a tremendous splash, as he i* a heavy man. The ladder and tub were electric lighted, and the dive was made late, so as to hold the crowd, and give the "barkers' an opportunity to induce as many as possible to enter the snide shows, two of which were ordered closed by the local authorities.
