The Connty Commissionei's have now sent to the department 27 ap plications, which ask for aid on ov9r 40 miles of road. There are several more applications now in the Commissioners' hands, which will make the total still greater.

Some time ago a man of that name was ar rested at Steuben ville, O , for robbing the railroad station where he was em ployed He made a full confession and while left alone for a few moments blew ont his braina With nothing more to work upon than a similarity in names, the former Townville Roy Stewart was forced into the limelight as the principal in the affair. It tarns out. however, that the suicide was "another fellow" and papers which pub lished the Crawford county man's obitnary have had to take it all back. —A temperance lecturer, who wish ed to prove to the audience the deadly power of whiskey, caused a drop of water to be magnified and thrown up on a magic lantern screen. The pic ture was a terrible one. Worms bigger than pythons and » spiders the size of a ship, fonght together in the drop of water like fiends in the infernal regions. The lecturer, caused a drop of whiskey to be added to the water. The effect was msryeloos. The liqnor killed all those ferocious horrors instantly. Their vast claws and tenacies and feelers stiffened. All became peaceful and still. An old lady in the front row whispered hoarse ly ia her husband's ear: "Wall, Jabez, that settles me. 11l never drink water again thout pnttin' some whiskey in it safer 1 -" • PERSONAL.

He should come to the Butler Car Works and keep Jack Feigel company. Gov Pennypacker, even though sad dled with the political phenomenon that it took an adverse vote of the people _ to awaken hipi to the necessity of doing something is entitled to great credit for the success of the "extraordinary." Stephen Stone caught a pike in the Connoqnenessing, that weighed 23 pounds—2s years ago. Fifty pound Sturgeon are occasionally caught in the Allegheny at the mouth of the Clarion; and in the Columbia river they used to catch them fifteen feet long. All these big fish come up from the sea. Grovcr Cleveland says that he would rather his son grew up to be able to build a great structure like the Brook lyn bridge than to be President of the United States. As Mr. Cleveland is the only living ex-President and he will be sixty-nine years of age on March 18th, his words carry great weight. Anna Gould de Castellane in her suit for divorce from her dissolute and worthless Count has our sympathys and our grief for the chagrin and humilia tion of an American girl at the bapds of listless indolence and depravity is more poignant than it would nave been had she paid a less extravagant price for her no-account husband with a meaningless title. Rev. William Davies, a Hereford, England, vicar, died recently. For 85 years he took no more exercise than was Involved in walking from one room to another; be was a hearty eater, with a marked weakness for such appetizing things as hot buttered rolls (he always had them for breakfast) and roast pork, and he could make away with a bottle of port wine after dinner. And yet he never had a day's illness during all these years, was the picture of health, was full of spirits ana energy and he lived to enjoy a hearty meal on his 105 th birthday. Miss Alice Roosevelt, a charming and popular young woman, whose father's position has made her known to the whole Nation, last Saturday, became the wife of a Congressman whose large fortune has not deterred him from creditable public service. Such an event arouses the good will of the Nation, and in that democratic light Mr. and Mrs. Longworth have the con gratulations and good wishes of the people of the United States. Theywere married in the East room of the White House at noon and left town that after noon for a place in the country. Senator Hoar above all things dis liked profanity. The story is told how shocked the venerable senator would be by the inflammatory interjections of a certain politician with whom he fre quently was compelled to confer. But on all such occasions he would refrain from censuring the culprit except in the mildest manner. One day when the politician came to the senator's committee-room on a subject of con siderable importance, Mr. Hoar indi cated a seat to him, and remarked, "Wow, Mr Blank, befure we enter up on a diicuasiou of this question we shall assume that everybody and every thing is damned. Then we can talk it over amicably." "Tom'' Cooper of Delaware county, the little connty of Pennsylvania, lying between Philadelphia and the little state of same name, (both hard to find on the map) is an accomplished songster as well as a veteran legislator. He came from Ireland, of course, and his song during the "horse play ' session of disorder on Wednesday afternoon- of last week, began thusly— Oh, the day that I came over, I never shall forget; It was raining in the morning, And the afternoon was wet. —An Irishman just landed, having to be at work at a certain hour every morning and never succeeding in wak ing np in time, was told to get an alarm oiock- He had never seen or heard of such an article, bqt. nevertheless, went to a clock maker and bonght one, hav ing the clockmaker explain how it worked. He took it home and set it to the time he wanted to get up, but the following morning the clock did not go off, as he was told it would, ho took out the back, and out dropped a dead cock roach. On seeing it he exclaimed: "No wonder the thing wouldn't work. The engineer is dead!" Butler and Harmony Franchise Granted. At the meeting of Town Council last night an ordinance was adopted grant ing the Butler and Harmony Street Railway Co., a franchise over Mulberrv St., Homewood ave.. Dunbar, New Castle. Race, Third ave, Pillow, Island ave., Williams, West, Water, Wayne Sts., to Main.

An acceptance must be filed within CO days, and bond in 15000 given to commence work within 6 months. The matter of giving the Pittsburg and Butler Co. a franchise for switches on West St. on the Island and over Chestnut between Cunningham and Jef ferson was held over one week. Prop- I erty holdeis objected to the .arbarn . switches vigorously. J. W. McKee put in the highest bid | for the garbage rights, SOOO a year. A number of revival services are be- T ing held in different parts of the conn- I ty. LEGAL NEWS. NEW SUIT?. Mrs. Florence Michael vs B. R. & P. R.

Six hundred people saw the double hanging at Ebensburg, Cambria county, last Thursday. Everybody who wanted in got in. The County Commissioners were at Somerset. Pa. looking at the court house at that place to get some ideas on the improvements to lie made on our own. The idea of building the recesses in the north and south walls out even or almost even with the rest of the walls seeins to be the best means of ad ding space to the local temple. The brothers of Joseph Thompson, dec'd. of Cherry twp. have appealed from the decision of Register Wilson admitting his will to probate. Viewers M. L Starr, A. B. Richey, J. A. Bonner. J. H.

Keck, who has held that office for oyer thirty years again succeeds himself. The tclal vote polled in the borouah was 2347 —an unusually large poll for a local election. In the Wards but little attention was paid to party tickets, and soine very good men were elected, and some of the same kind defeated. The .successful candidates for Council and School Director were: COUNCIL. First ward, W. J. Allen, R. Second ward, Geo. Mellinger, R., 3 years: Thomas Hays, R, 1 year. ward, John Dunn, D, 3 years; Geo. Schenck, D. 1 year. Fourth ward, Ellsworth Miller, R. Fifth ward. A. M. Akins, D. SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

NEIGHBORHOOD ELECTIONS In Pittsourg a tremendous vote was polled, about 64,000. Guthrie was elected Mayor by 2,700 over Jenbinson. and will be the first Mayor of Greater Pittsburg. The heaviest vote was polled in the East End districts. In Allegheny 24,000 votes were polled and Kirschler, Rep. has 5,426 over Logan, Dein., but when Greater Pitts burg becomes a fact Guthrie will be Mayor of both cities. There are 41 wards in Pittsburg and 54 common and 38 select councilman Allegheny has 15 wards and 39 common and 15 select conncilmen. When Greater Pittsburg is accomplished and these two bodies meet in joint session 143 conncilmen will be assembled in one building. The Pittsburg city hall will be large enough to hold them. The novel feature of the election in Philadelphia was the candidacy of about fifty women for School Director and some of them were elected. In the contest for Conncilmen the old party alignments were entirely obliterated and there were some odd results. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
