which will make compromise of any dispute

Against n Refinery in Court.


rspncIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
BEAVER, April 15.-The case of the Com
monwealth VS.. Jesse L. Dubbs, R. r. Quay,
prosecutor, was placed on trial here this morn
ing. Mr. Dubbs is manager of the Beaver Oil
refinery, owned by ]. H. White, a member of
the Allegheny County Bar, and was indicted for
maintaining a nuisance in the form of the re-
finery referred to. The latter is situated on the
bank of the Ohio river, on the line of the rail-
road, and short distance above the station.
At the lower end of College avenue, which ter
inmates at the bluff overlooking the river, and
near the refinery, are the residences of Senator
NJ. 8. Quay, Judge John j. Wickham. Hon. /.
F. Mansfield and other prominent citizens.
These, and a cloud of other witnesses were
subp9naed on the case.
The entire day was taken up in the exam
ination of the witnesses for the Commonwealth,
and there are many others who have not yet
testified. Judge Wickham being witness in
the case, it is proceeding under the direction of
Judge Henderson, of Crawford county. The
burden OF the testimony thus far, is that the
odor arising from the refinery at frequent in
tervals since 1t was put in operation last n o.
vember, has been very offensive.

How MIR. Booth Narrowly Escaped Becom-

One of the once famous Antonio brothers,
acrobats, who, with their father, were known
nearly half century as the Diavolos, was
on Broadway one day last week-a small,
dark, wiry man, whose appearance made
manifest his Italian origin. This Antonio,
says the New York World. is the possessor
of green seal ring which his father received
from Junius Brutus Booth under the
strangest kind of circumstances. The elder
Antonio and his sons were playing tre-
meudous engagement at one of the Lon
don gardens, and Booth was appearing in
tragic roles at a London theater. The for
mer was the sensation of the day; the latter
was treated with almost public neglect.
To make matters worse for the tragedian,
the acrobat mixed himself up successfully
in an affair of the heart where Booth s
cardiacal apparatus was also involved.
Jealousy was the result, and Booth one
dark and gloom. night lay in wait in park
through which Antonio passed and fired
several shots at him: The acrobat was not
shot, and, though he threatened to prosecute,
acquaintances inter cred and the two men
later on became friends and Booth presented
Antonio with the seal ring. Only two of
the Antonios survive. They have the finest
collection of satin theatrical programmes in
the country.
