A Coop JOKE ON EX-PREsIDENT
WILson.-Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, of
this Congressional District isreported
by the Cranberry Enterprise as tel
ling the following joke on himself:
While in Morgantown some time ago,
he began to discuss Congress with
an old residenter who stigmatized all
lawyers as rascals and seoundrels.
At this Congressman Wilson, who
is lawyer, disagreed with him
mildly and the constituent began to
become suspicious and said: maybe
you're lawyer
"Yes," replied the Congressman.
II am; but ! am not practicing just
now"
"Oh, WELL" said the other; "of
course | don't mean to say that all
lawyers are rascals and scoundrcls-
it's only them as holds Office that's
rascals."
Whether or not he heard Mr.. Will
son blush has not transpired, but he
soon left and meeting an acquaint-
ancc asked him who that was to whom
he had been talking.
"Why, that's Congressman Will
son." said the mutual friend. "Wcll,
I'll swear" unused the constituent,
Who'd thought that that limo
cent looking little cuss was con
gresham.

A Bro DAMAGE SuIr-THE Hess
CAsE.-Stcenrod Hess, by his attor-
neys, Sturgiss, Cox and Raymond,
has entered suit against Messrs Dill
worth & Co., of Pittsburg, A. Z. La
zier & CO., Philip II. Keck and Jno.
j. Brown, for $4,000 damages, which
damage he thinks he has sustained
by false imprisonment in the Jail of
this county.
This suit has grown out of rath-
er complicated case, of which the par
ticulars are as follows: Hess owned
a timber team, but was in debt. His
creditors obtained judgment
against him, and day was set to sell
the team. He was given the use Of
the team until the day of sale. In
the meantime it was rumored that
Hess had taken the team across the
line into Pennsylvania, and there sold
it, pocketing the cash, and the credit
ors becoming alarmed, had him sum-
moned before the Commissioner in
Chancery to find whether or not he
had the money said to have been OBJ
tanned, for the team, in his possession.
He did not answer the first summons,
and another summons, equivalent to
a rule, was given him. Still he did
not appear, when an attachment was
issued and he was broughtin person,
and refusing to answer the Commiss-
ioner, he was Immediately imprisoned.
1t appears from the letter of the law
that the prisoner had day in which
to answer, but on the contrary, he
was instantly imprisoned. He then
applied for and obtained writ of hab-
cas- corpus, on which he was released.
Last Monday, being the day appoint
ed for the sale of the team, it appear
ed at the proper time and place and
was duly disposed Of.
Immediately after the sale this suit
was brought against the parties. A
variety Of opinions are expressed as
to whether or not it will materialize
to the advantage Of the plaintiff.

brier Independent says: Mr.. John
Mcdowell, who lives in second Creek
District, Monroe county, has con-
tract to build schoolhouse in that
District One day last week while
engaged on that work be felt some
thing sting the back of his neck.
He attempted to brush the insect or
whatever it was off, and went on with
his work. Presnently he felt the
sting again, and again he tried to
brush it off. This was repeated some
three or four times when he finally
caught small, black spider, about the
size OF pea. He killed it and pro-
ceeded with his work, but in about
half an hour afterwards he fell over
in swoon. DR.. Is. T. Irons was sum-
moned, and found Mr.. Mcdowell in
a critical condition. No swelling ac-
companied the bite, hut the least
noise or vibration of the air caused
the most intense suffering. His life
was dcspaired of at first, but now he
is considered out of danger. but still
suffers considerably.

FoR some time past, we have no
ticed a growing tendency among the
young men and boys of our town, to
congregate upon the corners, at GER
tain times in the day, and pass the
time in relating experiences and "tell-
ing jokes" 1t is melancholy fact
that the proceedings ofsuch meetings,
are not such as would interest mod
est hearers. But the abuse goes still
further, and reaches the utmost limit
of forbearance, when these individ-
uals, either heedlessly or wilfully, in
dulge in remarks on passers.by, be
they ladies or gentlemen. This dis
agreeable practice, we think, has been
INDUCED in thoughtlessly, and only
needs mentioning, that it may be dis
continued. Morgantown has no
young men that it wishes converted
into that most obnoxious ofnuisances
the corner loafer.

THE r. Il Rs. RATTLE THE WAL.
TONS IN THREE INNrNGs-OTHER BASE
BALL NOTES. Last Saturday the Wal
ton Club, Of Wayncsburg, came over
the Mason and Dixon line, full of the
determination to carry victory home
with them or die in the attempt.
They registered at the Commercial,
and the genial host j. X. Durr, did
all in his power to render them com
Portable. On Saturday afternoon a
large concourse assembled on the
Fair Ground to witness the game. A
little after 2 o'clock, the Walton
club having won the toss sent the r.
q Rs. to the bat. Nate Kigcr grasped
the willow first and pounded the
leather for II two Dagger, on which he
made third base, after which followed
hit after hit. until when the side was
retired, the Il. Il RS. had nine runs
scored to their credit, thus literally
winning the game in the first inning.
The playing continued this way I'M
Til the beginning of the fourth inning
when, the catchers of the Waltons
having been severely injured, they
were allowed to draw the game, al
though they could not have done it,
excepting by the courtesy of the
home club.
Mr.. K. Alum the first catcher Of
the Walton's had his first finger
broken at the first joint, while Mr..
James Rinehart, their second catcher,
had his little finger severely injured.
We hope nothing serious will come Of
these accidents.
After these mishaps the Waltons
were too much disabled to play, so
the game was drawn at the end Of the
third inning the score standing Is to
2 in favor of Morgantown. Mr.. Cross
was the Umpire.
We noticed the following gentle
men from the Keystone state who
were not directly connected with the
club, Messrs. D. S. Walton, w. s.
Pipes, G. Bane, A. b. Purman, H. II.
Hull, Fl. Bcrryhill and others.
The time for deciding the game
has not yet been set, but we hope to
see the game in the near future.
Mr.. j. X. Durr offered the Green
Meadow Club q free supper. If, In
playing the r. 4 Rs. they made three
runs in nine innings. They say
they will eat the supper.
The citizens of Morgantown showed
their appreciation Of our club, by
giving them handsome subscription
last week.
The Sharpnacks, of Mastown, are
expected to play here on Saturday,
Sept. 1st.
The r. q Rs. received challenge
from the Bellevernon b. B. Club last
week, but they are too far away.

Recipes.

RUSSIAN TEA.-Ice, sugar and slices of
lemon, over which the tea is poured in the
goblets in which it is served, makes this most
delightful of drinks. The lemon prevents
the headache and sleeplessness that tea in
duces in some persons.
FRIED CHIcKEN.-Only young and tender
chickens are fit for the frying process. Lay
the chicken in salt and water five or ten
minutes, drain from the water end thor
Oughly dry with q towel. Have ready two
well-beaten eggs, season the chicken with
pepper and salt; dip in the egg and then in
fine cracker crumbs, and fry slowly in bacon
dripplngs. Serve on hot platter with melted
butter and minced parsley.
CURRANT SHRUB-Take ten pounds of cur
rants, and mash them on the stems. Turn
over them three pints of boiling water, and
scald over the fire for ten minutes. Strain
through bag, or fine sieve, and add seven
pounds of white sugar. Boil for fifteen min
utes, skimming well. Bottle while hot, and
cork tightly. When needed to use, turn
three teaspoonfus of the shrub into tum-
bier and fill up with pounded ice and water.
SPRUCE BEER.-Take quarter of pound
OF hops, two ounces of essence of spruce, or
several handfnls of the fresh roots of white
pine or few branches of spruce trees. Boil
in ten gallons of water for half an hour
strain, and add two quarts of molasses and
half pint of yeast when nearly COOL Bot
tie when worked, or Keep In key or large
jugs. Half brown sugar and half molasses
will make more agreeable beer for some
palates.
LEMON BUTTER.-A delicious sauce for
waffles, mullins and all kinds of hot pam
cakes is the lemon butter. One pound pull
verified sugar, one-fourth pound butter, six
yolks of eggs, well beaten; four whites of
egg whipped TO a stiff froth; three lemons,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
More Solar Disturbances.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Another boom in solar activity is on.
Last evening near 5 o'clock / counted $50
spots on the sun; the greatest number l have
seen for nearly ten years One spot made
up of several pieces included in a single
penumbra, is $4,000 miles acrsss, This is
about six times the diameter of the earth,
and hence nearly thirty-six times greater
in area than a spot or opening in the sun
which would just take in the earth. This
vast break in the solar surface is very easy
TO see without any telescope. 1t is much
more broken this morning and will proba-
bly, crumbe and vanish in a few days
Another disturbance on the telegraph wires
would seem to be due. Perhaps, though,
there is sufficient trouble among them al
ready. WIN. DAWSON.
