nights since and some tobacco, cigars an

The egg plant crop, OF this vlclnl
ty, is very small this yea, and The eggs com
mand high prices. Some left at oDe of ou
grocery stores, last week, brought from II L

A few months ago Pittsburgh
man lent Sl4o0 to a friend who was going ou
West to speculate in mines The other da!
that Pittsburgh man received by express from
his debtor gold brick worth $1,000, not, "a
an accompanying letter explained, to pay th'
debt, but merely as an evidence of good Will.
Shade trees in town are not only
ornamental but rsefuI, but when the limbs
hang so low that man must drop his umbrel
la on rainy day while passing them, and De
compelled to pick up his hat frequently, it is
not pleasant by any means. Trim up the trees
so that predestfians can pass under them with
out being compelled to double themselves up
Pittsburgh has added to her other
troubles a water famine, which is not only
closing many of her mills and shops, throwing
thousands of men out of work, but is breeding
disease through the lack Of the means ofcleans'
ing public and private houses. Engine after
engine has broken down at the water works.
II is singular that a city supplying so much
good mach iuery to other parts OF the country
should lack efficient pumping engines for It's
daily water supply.
Some months ago James Wasson,
who was impIoyed at the lime stone quarry
near Wampum, Lawrence county, was waylaid,
knocked down and robbed, and left lying on
the railroad track, from which perilous position
he was rescued by passer by. A few nights
since he was again waylaid near the same spot
and again left lying senseless upon the track.
This tine, however, there was no passer by to
rescue him and he was run over and killed ana
his body terribly maDgled by an express train.
AT meeting of the Building and
Loan Association, of this town, last Saturday

rowed on 10 cents" this to take the place OF
the old rates. In regard to calling special
meeting the By Laws were changed to read so

Coroner Kennedy held an inquest yesterday.
report of which we Lave not yet received.
Our local military company and
several membe.s Of the G. A. X. attended the
funeral of Nj. Fleming, in body, dressed in
uniform. Mr.. I fleming was member OF the
G. A. L. and was wearing its uniform at the
time he was attacked bv the Swede. post
mor,um examination was held on his remaIns
On Tuesday night of last week, by Drs. Ney-
man, G .abam and Byers, who found tdat an
abscess had formed ut the bottom OF the wound,
made by the bniie of TIE Swede in the pleural
cavity of tae lett lung. and that this was the
cause of his death. The wound was five inches
deep. Mr. FlemiDgs lungs and all his other
vital organs were found TO be healthy and in
good condition.
Sometime ago certain DR..
who was stopping at the Miller
House, Evansburg, brought suit against Mr..
Miller for selling liquor on Sunday. When
the case came up on Wednesday of last week,
the Doctor (?) failed to put in an appearance
and of course the cbarge fell to the ground. 1t
was simply matter ofspite, because Mr.. Miller
would not let the "lightning rod erector" glide
noislessly from the premises without hquidat-
ing little u of $50 or $50. Part of this
was paid, and large box was left as security
for the balance. On opening the box it was
found to contain lot of stones and other rub
bish. So Mr.. Miller is still short that balance.
Some hard stories are told of this redoubtable
Doctor, and which, when fully verified, we.
may give to our readers Paltcy Ne,cs.
The suggestion of an eastern
society that the brewers should combine at once,
have their beer aoalyzed and the analyses pub
lished is good one. The prohibitiousts, as
Mr. Hadley says, are making powerful argu'
ment of toe unw,lliugness of some brewers 10
let the public know Of what materials toeir
beer is made. AS the only proper Ingredients
Of beer are malt and hops every honest brewer
should be glad to have any one of his brewings
aualyzed and the res1its published. IL any OF
them decline let the analyses and publication
20 on without them the public will then at
least know what brewers to trust and whose
beer to regard with suspicion. About secrets
Of manufacture the beer consumers care nothing,
but about ingredients they care a great deal if
they are denied the right to know them they
will be foolish to drink any mysterious brew
house connection while they can get the honest
result of malt and hops.
Ono of the Swedes named John.
son, who was with J. w. Johnson on the night
when he stabbed Mr.. Fleming, came to town in
n wagon last Saturday, with the intention of
taking the train for jamestown, ". Y. Arriv
ing here it was found that he was very sick.
He was taken out of The wagon and placed on
a chair on the Court House veranda and a
called who pronounced his disease to
be typhoid fever. Sheriff Donaghy procured
bed for him in house in Springdale and con-
stable Williamson is 10 nurse him. The Poor
Board, of the borough, were applied to take
chafge of him, but they refused to do so. The
man has been working in Butler township and
they thought that that township should care
for him, and complain of having TO take care
of TOO many strangers. In this case, however,
the county will pay the costs of his keeping and
nursing, as he was under bail 10 appear as
