Plate Glass Improvements.

The Standard Plate Glass Co, of this
town are about completing improvements
which will increase their capacity to 100,
Ooo feet per month, an increase of 40 per
cent
gentleman who is vely familiar with
the plate glass trede of this country said
lately that the American manufacturers
of plate glass now have the American mar
ket entirely to themselves: Said he:
1.-The great strides made in this industry
in the United States resulting in the pro-
duction of plate glass as good as the French
and English, and reduction in prices in
in proportion has caused one importer after
another to quit the business. The last ex-
elusive importer of plate glass was the
New York agency of the London and Man
chester Plate Glass Company. They were
established in this country for IA years, but
few days ago they were ordered to close
up and sell their stock
THE tariff on plate glass is about 100
per cent This, as well as the great ad-
vancemenJs which have been made in the
plate glass business of this country during
the last few years, has been the reason of
effectively driving all importers of plate
glass out of the American market.
.'There are now six plants in the conn
try, the one at Crei ghton being the lar
gest in the world, and several Others are
contemplated

During the first year of the war of the re.
bellion, there was large kiln of lime burn
ed on the old Adam Errett farm, some two
and a half miles south of AdamSburg,
Westmoreland county, by Mr.. Erretts two
sons, James and Michael. Soon after the
lime was burned, and before they had time
to haul it out on the fields, they both en-
listed in the army where they sickened and
died or were killed in battle, at all events
they never returned to their home. As no
one ever disturbed the lime kiln, it remains
to this day as they left it, with the excep-
ton that an oak tree of considerable size
has grown up right in the center of the
kiln. This monument, of the late un-
pleasantness is attracting a great many
curiosity seekers.

To Advertise Goods
OF NO MERIT
Never Won Trade.

The reason why we are having
such large and increasing trade in
Boots and Shoes is because there is
merit in them:
lst. Our ladies shoes are elegant
and stylish in appearance.
End. All material used is the best,
selected with special reference to its
wearing qualities,
3rd. The soles are flexible render
ing the boot exceeding easy and COM
Portable to the wearer
4th. BY special method of design
ing patterns and lasts any lady
wearing pair of our fine boots will
find that her foot will have a much
smaller appearance than with ordi-
nary boots.
5th We have twice the different
styles to select from of any other
house in Butler Sell to each and
every customer at the same price
Sell good goods-not shoddy-at
lower prices than inferior goods are
sold for in other houses. Buying in
large quantities direct from the man
ufacturer, for cash, we don't buy from
the middleman and don't paw inter-
est on borrowed money invested in
the business either.
The great majority of people OF
Butler county are looking for boots
and shoes that can be sold at rea-
sonable price and yet give good ser
vice
There are plenty of soft sheep skin
shoes in the market, looking nicely
when new and fresh from the factory,
but absolutely worthless for wear and
hard service, such goods as these are
what you can get from some houses
that put out those winiy advertise
ments always selling goods at cost
and shoes at l50 tCorh 50 80 and
all such trickery to catch trade, its
getting to old-won't catch on any
more Better try something new.
1t las been our aim TO give our
customers genuine article that has
merit in it. A shoe made of Kid not
sheep. So thoroughly have we kept
the ladies "tirst- class" kid button at
S125, 1.50 and 200 up to this stand
ard that their reputation is now firm
ly established all over Butler county.
We say fearlessly AMI proudly know
ing that it cannot be disputed, these
are the most stylish and best boots
made at the price.
We say the same for our mems,
boys and youths fine shoes. Trade
never was so large. the styles and
prices do it.

A hearing of the case of the Com. VS.. J.
Ii. Kurtz and Herb Elliott, of Clarion,
charged with attempting to outrage Miss
Ada Seaton, was had before Esq. Thomas,
of Allegheny Tp., on Monday. The pros
ecution was represented by S. F. Bowser
and Isaac Miller, Esqrs., and the. defence
by Mr.. Hindman, of Clarion. Miss Seaton
fully identified the defendants as the par
ties attempting the outrage, and described
all they did She changed from one buggy
to the other, on account of the bad conduct
of her first escort and when her second also
behaved badly, she struck the horse to di-
vert his attention, jumped from the buggy
and lay unconscious in the woods from
Wednesday evening till found Saturday
morning. Some witnesses corroborated
part OF her story. She said she was but
sixteen years of age, was born in Pittsburg;
went to Cleveland when eleven; her father
died there, then went to live with her
brother in Bradford, and after that lived
at Foxburg Bennertown and Parker.
Cohen's at Parker was her last place, and
when the Stark girl offered to show her a
better place, Mr.. MoOre's near Emlenton,
she agreed to go with her. The party got
into the buggies and circled around con-
siderably. had some wine aud then after
dark the men began misbehaving them
selves.
Justice Thomas offered to allow the de-
PENDANTS to make statement of their case;
but they wanted to be heard in full by
witnesses which was refused and the two
men were held in 81 900 each for Court
The information charged the Stark girl
with being an accompliee in the misde-
meanor, which was mistake, and she was
discharged.

ONCE MORE.
The Truth and Nothing but the
Truth.

Truth.
Many years ago when we, along with
our fellow citizens, were paying $3.50 to
$3.50 for buggy, we conceived the idea
that less than 800 ought to buy buggy
good enough for almost any man. We set
about investigating the matter-went to
the largest manufactures in the e. S. and
made a contract for full carload to be
made to our order We had the cash in
our pocket and the result was that the
buggies were made and shipped to u.s.
OuI neighbors 1--WE lived in Prospect, this
county then) said we made a mistake
that we could not sell them-and we con-
fess when we did see them all set up in a
row we felt little as though we. had an
elephant on our hands in a dry summer
Bnt we had good buggies, bought low for
cash, and of course we could sell low 1t
was the first time in the history of Butler
county that good buggy could be bought
for less than 800. In thirty dayswe were out
of buggies and another carload on the way.
Everybody wanted one of our buggies-
the rich man saw they were good enough
first time in his life rejoiced in being able
to own buggy. Just so it went; our bus
iness grew, neighbor told neighbor; it
spread all over this State and into other
States until we found it impossible to car
ry on our large business without good ship
ping facilities. We selected Butler as the
place last November We purchased the
old manufacturing establishment formerly
conducted by G. c. Roessing & Son, on
Cunningham street, where we have located
permanently, and Butler can boast to- day
of having probably--the largest wholesale
and retail carriage dealers in the State.
We keep in stock everything in the Car
riage, Wagon, Cart Harness and Robe
line. We have top buggies from $40 up to
the very finest hand made work. Carts,
$12 up; harness, Sc to the very best hand
made harness to be found anywhere, &c.
Our success in business we attribnte to our
rules first adopted, Nerer ask erh0rbitdnt
prices. Necer misfepreSeRt. Thus we have
won the good will and confidence of every
customer. We say with pride that we have
sold hundreds of buggies on time and never
had man refuse to pay his note on ac-
count of the article not being Us represent
ed. This is remarkable, considering our
nine years business. We have plenty of
money; never sell note. We discount
every bill, pay no rent; we give our Gus
toners the benefit of all this, and are close
cash purchasers. Our large experience
gives US a knowledge of the business that
can be acquired in no other way. Come
down and see us whether you want to buy
or not; it is only little walk down from
Main street and it will pay you well. The
members of the company are ). b. Martin
