SWindlerS Here.

Six swindlers of the Bohemian
oats variety struck Butler last Satur
day, and engaged rooms here. What
their game is, or will DO, this time
we do not know, but we do know
that the pith and point of all their
games, is to get the signatures of re-
sponsible parties-be it to notes,
agreements, receipts or what not-all
of which are changed into notes for
large sums, and sold to innocent (D
third parties, who proceed to collect
them after the swindlers have left for
parts unknown.
If the note is in the usual form and
does not call for notice to the maker
of it's being transferred, the holder is
presumed to be an innocent third
party, no matter what he paid for the
note or though the price was 80 ride
ulously small as to excite the suspc-
ion of anybody.
The old English law regarded a
note with genuine signature, to be
piece of commercial paper, the same
as bank bill, and though these con-
tinual swindlihg operations have
caused our Courts hedge q little on
this rule, the general idea is yet in
force here, hence we warn all our
readers to sign their names to no pa
pers whatever presented by strangers.

A Strong Endorsement.

A letter from Capt A. d Wright,
Sup't of the Soldiers Orphans Home
Mansfield, Tioga Co., Pa, July 3rd,
1888.
MeSsrs. Shira. ShirG Dc Hays;
GENTLEMEN-I take pleasure in re-
porting to you that the two Allen
Washing Machines purchased from
you about three months ago, have
proven a perfect success. They
wash everything for our family of
over 200 from a boys collar to a pair
of socks. We do not use wash
board in the institution. 1t has ef-
fected a saving of 5000 per year, less
the price Of the soap. Before getting
these machines, we could not do our
washing in the institution. Now our
small boys, from 10 to ID years Of
age do it, causing us no trouble or
worry Our washing has never been
80 well done.
This machine, intelIigentlv used.
thoroughly cleanses clothes no mat
ter how dirty they are AS for as my
experience extends there is no wash
ing machine made to compare with
it. This is the universal verdict Of
all the people in the institution par
ticularly the women, who are the
most enthusiastic.
| have no hesitation in recommen-
ding it to institutions similar to this
or to private families. One of the
principal features in its favor is, that
there is absolutely no wear on the
clothing. / consider the results we
have accomplished the more remark.
able from the fact that the water we
use is hard, and that we use no prep
aration for soitening the water, or to
assist in washing
This perfect simplicity of the ma
chine cannot be appreciated without
seeing it in operation We have al
ready done as much washing in our
machines as family of 5 persons
would require to do in 10 years and
there is no appreciable wear as yet.
| think it would be sale to say that
one machine would last u family for
generation. Very truly yours.
A. d, WRIGHT.
We thoroughly endorse the above.

A Summer Idyl.

Our society reporter is 8 great maa
| for picnics. His devotion TO them
began TO excite our curiosity, not 10
say our admiration, several years ago.
/ He is quite u connoisscur in picuics
and says the great event in picnic
circles each year is the Clerks.
As usual, he attended Ike enc
which happened on Tuesday this
year Tie next day at half-past one
our society man came into the office
changed-gTeatly changed He look
ed much as if his bed on the preced-
ing night had been the top rail Of a
country fence A wild look about
the eyes led Us TO fear he had CON-
mitted some awful crime. "I'm
never going to another picnic" he
broke in en- US.
We were too much astonished to
be glad, and asked him in perfectly
calm way whether be had enjoyed
the picnic, or not.
Enjoy it," said he, "why: l had
a splendid time. Music, dancing,
boating, fair ladies. Grand time.
But I'll never go to another. |
couldn't. Those yellow bangs, the
hosiery and those bustles would float
bafore my eyes ii l should attempt to
dance, and the babies would yelIs in
my ear so loudly that / could not
hear the band. The beer bottles
stuck over with hair-pins would haunt
my vision, and over all would float
that petticoat."
We cooled him off little, and put
his head in q small chase to keep it
from bursting, and got the following
story from him:
The picnic went along swimmingly
till the last hour Our man was
greatly infatuated with q beautiful
blonde, who had the most ravishing
eyes and bangs. The couple stuck
together from early till late, and were
only parted by the excitement atten-
dant on the starting of the train for
home.
The reporter fearing that she would
be left on the ground, began search
tor her, and missed the train, and
consequently had to pass the night
curled up on ore of the seats in the
dancing hall In the early morning
he was awakened by the shouts of
Logs, who came, as they said, ''ter
hunt things" The society man went
over to their "fnd,n looked through
the pile, gave a gasp, and tainted.
An inventory taken of the things
found showed them to be:
Two baby carriages.
Two negro babies.
Ten beer bottles (empty.)
Five thousand hairpins.
One dozen of false bangs Iii .ht.)
One half dozen false bangs dark
Sixteen bustles.
-Four pairs red garters.
One pair silk stockings.
One TN hand stove.
Dozen pairs cotton hose.
Twenty pairs slippers.
Twenty stray dogs.
One petticoat.
Package of lore letters.
One hot sausage can.
Four pistols.
Twenty penknives.
Fitty-seven novels.
One Bible.
n easily recognized blonde bang,
reeking with stale beer, completed
the work on our reporter.
We have society reporter to dis
pose Of Apply at once.

in the equity case of the Fidelity
Trust and Safe Deposit Company Of
Philadelphia against the West Penn
Il Shenango connecting road, between
billiards and Butler, and w. W..
Reed, contractor, of Erie, filed re-
port this week Objections were
raised by both parties 20 the suit, and
the case was argued yesterday before
Judge Mehard by j Ross Thompson
and Judge John Vincent, Of Erie, for
one side, and John McCleave, Balti-
more & Ohio solicitor, for the other:
The plaintiff has claim of $400,
600 against the road and brought suit
in the United States Court before
Judge Achison for the sale of the

Judge ordered the case to be referred
to the Mercer County Court TO decide
