Lecture BY DR.. Mary Allen.

The people of Butler will have a
genuine treat on Sunday evening, at
the Presbyterian church, in the lec-
ture of DR.. Mary Allen, of Ithaca. N.
Y. 1t will be remembered that she
delivered one of her popular lectures
to an overfowing house here a year
ago, and 30 delighted her audience
that the w. G. II. U. under whose
auspices she comes, has succeeded in
securing her for another lecture. We
may safely say that those who attend
will pronounce the lecture one of the
best. No admission fee will be char
ged, but, as usual, collection will be
taken which, it is hoped. will be gen
erous enough to pay expenses.
"As temperance address it was
eminently successful This lecture
repeated in every town in the State
would be the most effective crusade
against intemperance and the saloons
and make more lasting impression
upon young people. than score o
the ordinary addresses which have
become stale, fiat. and uuproftable."-

Peak Pleads Guilty.

MT. HOLLY, n. j., May 26.-There
was a great sensation in the trial of
Barclay w. Peak, for the murder of
Kate Anderson, this morning. At
the opening of court, Peak entered a
plea of guilty to the indictment to the
utter surprise of everybody connect
ed with the case except possibly his
own lawyers. The action of the
court yesterday, in excluding the dy-
ing declaration of the murdered girl,
which was the testimony on which
the former conviction was obtained
by the State. almost assured acquit.al
of the accused or disagreement of
the jury. Why Peak should have
pleaded guilty at the last moment
under these circumstances is one of
the most remarkable features of this
celebrated case.
Peak has insisted from the first
that he was entirely innocent of the
charge, and has borne himself in
prison and in the court room with the
utmost GOODNESS.
After the decision of Judge Garri-
son, yesterday, excluding the dying
declaration of Katie Anderson, the
testimony left was circumstantial, but
pointed strongly to Peaks guilt.
Upon Peak pleading guilty, Judge
Garrison instructed the jury to find
verdict of murder in the second de-
gree and the court would be response
ble The jury retired. and after a
brief absence, returned with verdict
of murder in the second degree, in ac-
cordance with the instructions of the
court.

The Great Storm.

The storm that visited Butler, Monday
afternoon, was as wide spread as any we
have ever read of. Reports from Titusville
and Oil City to the north of US, and from
Wheeling to the south of us show that the
width of the belt visited by the storm was
wide one, and reports from Huntington to
the east of us and from as far West as Tope-
ka, Kansas to the west show that the belt
visited was an unusually long one.
The storm struck Butler at about 2 pm,
and in few minutes did considerable dam
age. Part of the tin roofing of the Court
House was ripped off and thrown to the
street, the tin.roof Of the Jail was bulged,
almost all the stationary awnings in the
town were torn to tatters and in some cases
the iron rods holding them were bent, the
cornices of the new Schenck and Reiber
buildings were thrown over. but one derrick
on the hill south of town was left standing,
the hose drying steeple on the Jail lot was
upset, Madison Starts new house on N. Nc
Kean street was moved about foot aud the
contractor, Adam Haffner, put it in place
next day with four Jacks, shade and fruit
trees were broken aud blown over, fences
we're blown down and Charley Kerr, who
was working on the ball grounds fence says
he was blown across the street.-The first time
he ever flew and perhaps the last; Phillips
Bros. had 21 rigs blown down at Reibold and
Glade Run, all the oil operators in the coun-
ty had some rigs destroyed, hail fell in the
Saxon field and the hail stones hitting the
team of man named Martin saved his life,
for the team scared and ran out of shed
Just before derrick tumbled upon it; John
Robb's barn in Oakland twp. was upset and
his 13 year old boy, who was in the barn at
the time had his arm broken, train was

Memorial Day.

The twentieth anniversary of Dec
Grafton Day has come and gone. The
custom originated with the late and
lamented Gen. John A. Logan, and
steadily grew in popular favor, until
it became legal holiday. Wednes-
day was beautiful day-not too hot,
not too cold, with neither dust, mud 4,
nor rain-and the fine weather COM
bned with an unusually complete
programme brought people to Butler
from all parts of the county.
The first event of the day was the
presentation of the banner given by
the Reed brothers of Pittsburg to the
G.. A. r. Post here which is named
after their brother, A. g. Reed. who
was mortally wounded a. Fredericks-
burg, and who died few days after.
Col. Thompson made the presentation
speech, and it was as patriotic, poeti-
cal and pathetic an address as any one
could wish to listen to. Captain Alex
Russell received the banner and in
behalf of the Post made very good
response.
This took place in front of the
Court House, and then the procession
consisting of the two brass bands. the
G. A. K. Post, the Militia Company,
the Soldiers orphans, the Odd Eel
lows Lodge, and the Springdale Hose
Co., led by Major Reed and Judge
Story on horse back, formed and
marched to the North Cemetery.
Here the soldiers graves were decor
ated, and then the soldiers assembled
and listened to the usual services.
Capt. Fleeger was the orator of the
day, and he made splendid address
on the duties of the day, and men,
cries awakened by its recurrence. and
he paid Gen John A. Logan beau
tiful and just tribute.
The procession again formed and
wended its way down the hill, and as
nearly everybody was thirsty, the
three tubs-full of lemonade that the
ladies of the W.C.T.U. had supplied
were soon disposed of.
Decoration day is steadily increas.
ing in popular favor, aud there are
good reasons why it should, and why
we should continue to revere the
memory of those who risked, and Who
gave up their lives that the Union
should be preserved.
Every year of our continued pros
perlty as Nation, renews our appre-
citation of the services rendered by the
armies of lS6l-5, and brings more
forcibly to our minds the terrible con-
sequences that would have resulted
from a failure of those armies to
conquer the Southern hosts.
