A recent exposure of the weakness of our
procedure in divorce cases has. aroused the
Judges of the courts of common pleas to adopt
stricter rules to govern such eases. Hereto
fore, the examiners have been little more than
reporters, who collect body of unsifted evi-
dence which is too often misleading as 10 the
merits of the case. 1t is proposed to make the
examiners more responsible in this ma tier, re-
quiring them to subject all testimony to the
closest scrutiny and to exact greater public
ity as to the notices given of proceedings.
This is as we should have expected from our
judges. The Pennsylvania bench has an hon
orable record as the guardian ofpublic morals;
and it would degenerate sadly from the exam
pie set by our great jurists, if it allowed the
State to become the resort of those who desired
private or collusive divorces.-The american
AT the meeting of the Town Council, of
Butler, last Wednesday evening, it was moved
and seconded that as the Butler Water Com
pany has failed to sign agreement as required
by council tn at we reconsider the resolution
agreeing to pay 5000 per year for the time past
and 500 for the future" This and motion
Withdrawing all propositions for contract with
said Water Company were agreed to, and the
case will go to court. At the meeting OF the
council on Thursday morning, representatives
of the P. & w. Railroad proposed to make
uniform grade at the north end of the railroad
bridge over Lookout Avenue, to straghten the
fill on the east side and north of the railroad,
so as to make il of the uniform width of the
bridge over the railroad, to erect and maintain
sufficient fences on each side of the fills and
put up hub boards at each side of the bridge, to
widen the fills on both sides of the track on the
north side the Kittanning bridge, to construct
fences there and maintain the same on both
sides of the ell, all TO be completed in 30 days,
in settlement ofthe disputes between the bor-
ough and the Railroad Company. These prop
ositions were agreed to by the council

\ We'll Lodged Man.

There is gentleman in Tacson who belongs to fourteen different secret so- cieties. The following is the list with the amount in dollars of yearly dues which he pays; F. < A. NJ, SIP; I. O. O. F., SIS; K. of P, sl3; I. o. O. F. Enc, S7; K. of P. End, s3; A. O. U. w., S4; A. O. U. W. Guar. Ass, 8; K. of H., S4; K. & L. of H., s4; K. G. R., SIP; A. o. F., s13; A. L. H., S6; I. O. c. F., SS; R. A., S7; making a total of S109 as dues. Besides he belongs to the I. O.. O. F. Aid Association. Last year his assessments reached S3S0. He carrie
 S25,000 insurance on his head, and has neither wife nor babies to which he can leave this fortune. In addition to the above be once belonged to the I. O. G. T. but the cold water gave him the dys- pepsia SO bad that he had to withdraw If he should get sick be would get SS5 per week as sick benefits, besides he is entitled to the weekly attendance of twelve doctors and twenty-four nurses. If he should die at home 600 peo- pie would be compelled to walk to his funeral, for which expenses would be al- lowed to the amount of at least $500, and at a cost of time of over S1,200. He belongs to twenty six different degrees, each one Of winch has its own obligs- tions, grips, signs of recogDitlons, pass words, knocks, steps, positions, winks, signals, wraps, countersigns, salutes, modes of entering and retiring, and dia- logues. Yet he has them all at his tongues end as familiar as a scholar has the alphabet. This man IS none other than Mr. Henry Fleischman, the gentle manly steward of Porter's hotel.

Country and City Dogs.

There IS nothing SD cute as city dog. They are wonderfully sharp and bright in their intellects, or minds, for it is the belief of 8 great many that dogs as well as men possess souls, at least, so thought Luther. The country dog is simple and guileless. He comes to town, and IS frightened at everything. A dozen town dogs come up and smell of him. They dislike his countryfe6 scent, and commence to initiate him into the first degree of city life. The pound master appears in sight and gobbles up the country dog because he has no tag He IS put Tn the pound, and starves three days, when his master comes in from the ranch, pays s2.5O and takes him out. This Is his second degree. He Is now a fellowcraft. The poUnd- master will never take that dog again, except after a hard chase and with 2 lassO. He IS now on an equality with other dogs, and roams the streets. When the canines south of Congress street have a difference with those north of the aforesaid highway, the country dog now cititied Is ready and willing to take his part. He joins all conventions Of hls tribe. The small boy delights in packing the convention with rocks, aud 6y the time the city dog has had two or three chunks of ore from an assayer's office belted at his cranium, and receives some new craniologicsl developments, he has learned another lesson. This raises him to the sublime third. The memories of his country home no longer haunt his mind. He prefers roaming with the guerilla bands around town, and foraging in back yards and kitchens. In the day time he sleeps | under warehouse or in a dry goods l box that was occupied the evening pre- vIous by a bOot-black. A numerous | progeny spring up around him. He | knows every restaurant Tn town, and | every cook, where he can get a bone, | and the position of every slop barrel l where he can go when he gets pressed i by the bangs of hunger He is some | times caught mapping by hOodlums and | B Kerosene box of metallic character s attached to his narrative, and he | flashes down the asphatum sidewalks | -lll his tail comes of or the string
  breaks. His life IS thus spent till he grows old, blind and feeble The grind ITS cease; they that lGok ont of the windows are darkened; the daughters of nuslc cease; the grasshopper becomes a burden; desire fails; the silver cord Is oosened, and the golden bowl is broken. The poundmaster scoops him in his ,ld age, when he can no longer see, run Tor bite. The dust returns to the earth IS It was, and the meat to the bologna iausage man. The hide goes to the Angora goat glove factory, and the gets gallon of muskrat 'il from his bones. Sometimes this Dccurs ID youth from eating poisoned neat. His memory fades from among nen. He served a useful purpose in lie, and he filled a niche in the grand emple of the universf. and will be ,nown no more till the resurrection of II dogs takes place.

The Arizona Narrow Gauge Railroad
 Fact.
@rading Completed for the Eighth of a Mile North of Town-The Work
 to be Pushed.

A CITIZEN reporter this morning visit
 ed the camp of lsbOrers on the Arizons
 Narrow Gauge railroad, about a mile
 and half north of town. Crossing the
 railroad track of the s. P. R. R. at the upper end of Main street, the old left hand wagon road was followed about a mile. till fresh wagon trail was discov- cred leading to the right out through the chaparal, and driving out through this bruslt a little way clearing was found. There MT. John P. Culver, with a gang of fourteen Mexicans, was hard at work throwing up a grade. Some three hundred feet had already been completed. The grade is seven feet wide, sufficient for broad gauge ties. little further on were the tents of the men. Their wages vary according to work; shovelers get Sl per day and board. There were only two teams scraping and blowing, and few hands were cleaning ground. Camp was made on the 5rd instant, and several thousand feet of ground was cleared of brush. Grading commenced yesterday morning. MT. Culver had the honor of braklng the hrst ground, Tn removing a stump from the center of the proposed track. The force of men used at present is only beginning of what will follow in q few days more. The directors of the com pany propose to push the work rapidly. The place where ground was broken yesterday is 5000 feet north of the de- pot. The road will run in a straight line seven miles north toward the hills, and then curve to the right though Canada de Gro, on it's way to Florence. Consid- ering the short time this enterprise was conceived, and put in operation it IS de- serving of much commendation. IL was only last April that the survey was made
