Douthett's Father VIII Settle.

D. B. Douthett, father of Marshall B.
Douthett, the defaulting clerk of Will
kinsburg borough, whose total deficit is
n1enT w1rn me F1ttsDurg Trust Com
pany for the payment of the 81, 100
which his son secured some months ago
from the trust company on forged war
rants of Williamsburg borough. Mr..
Douthett has told those who were vic
timized that he will settle all losses sus-
tained through the criminal action of
his son. He said last night he was anx-
ious to get the matter settled mp as
soon as possible, 80 that my son can re-
turn and begin new life.
Mr. Douthett stated that he had not
secured almost 81, 900 that had been de-
posted to his sons credit with the Pitts
burg Trust Company for the reason that
no such sum lad been deposited by his
son with the company. There is such a
sum in the hands of well-known bust
ness man which will be used in liquidat-
ing some of the defalcations.
The suit of the Butler County Nation
al bank on which it obtained judg
ment against d. B Douthett and son
for several hundred dollars, has been
satisfactorily settled. The Endorsement
on the lote on which the money was
given, Mr.. Douthett declared to be a
forgery.
On last Monday Mr. Douthett and DR.
Fl. S. McClymonds. his son-in-law,
bondsnien for young Douthett as Boro.
Clerk in the sum of $1,000, deposited
that amount in the First National bank
of Williamsburg to the borough under
certain conditions. These were that
the two bondsmen should have permis-
sion to make an examination of all
warrants and receipts This demand
was granted by resolution of council,
and the money was deposited in the
bank Some of the members of council
afterwards wanted to collect the money
without allowing Mr.. Douthett and DR.
McClymonds to see the receipts and
warrants. The warrants have never
been examined by the two bondsmen,
and until they are the borough will not
receive the amount of the bond.
When asked last night if there had
been any agreement made to pay the
forged warrants held by the banks, Mr..
Douthett said: There has been no ar
rangement made yet, but if any ami
cable arrangement can be reached there
is no doubt but what they will be lift

Riots in Paris.

The Dreyfus trial. which is exposing
the rottenness of the Army Bureau; and
what of the they call the "Guerin affair
over there, are making trouble in
France On Saturday last the Jour
nal of the People edited by Sebastian
Faure, published manifesto denounc-
ing the military party, the an.i-Semites,
the monarchists and the priests, and
urged its supporters to meet force with
force.
Should Dreyfus be convicted, said
the manifesto, lit will be the triumph
of bandits. Should he be acquitted, the
military section will be open to rebel
lion."
The paper called on all anarchists to
demonstrate against the priests and the
Jesuits. Copies of the manifesto were
scattered broadcast, and the result was
that the anarchists hocked into the
streets singing the. ''Carmagnole" and
crying "A bas Rochefortp' "A bas Dru
mont" and "A bas Guerin"
On Sunday great numbers of people
assembled in the public squares and
then marched from church to church
destroying the furniture and breaking
the windows. The police attempted tc
stop it; there was fighting all day, and
some four hundred people were hurt
Taken all in all the situation il
France just now is critical and unique
Momentous events hang upon the out
come of the Dreyfus trial. Should
the prisoner be acquitted there
is danger of military revolt, for those
who control the army are the bitteres
foes of the prosecuted Jew. Should ht
be convicted the public opinion and nat
ional conscience of France would be 81
outraged and wounded by the verdic

One FOrcible Opinion.

ED. CITIZEN:-In an article in the
CITIZEN of last week, written by J. H.
Negley, asking for opinions as to the
proper time to hold our centennial cele-
bration, or when is the county one hun
dred years old2
The writer then says, "On March -,
1900, the Act was passed creating But
Ter county, or rather taking it from
Allegheny county, but that it remained
attached TO the mother county for judi
cial purposes until 1S03'
A simple comparison or illustration
will solve the difficulty: A child born
on March ~, 1900. but remaining with
the mother for nursing and care until
1903, then weaned when would the
child be one hundred years old? From
the time of birth or when it was wean-
ed? On March 10, 1900 the umbilical
cord was severed uniting Butler to
Allegheny county and hence on March
H. 1900, is its centennial birth day

SCORES OF BABIES
WERE KILLED
And the Murder of Three Women Traced
to st. Louis Midwife-Her Home
Charmed House.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-The Post
Dispatch this afternoon says Mrs.
Henry Bamberger, midwife living on
Choteau avenue, has been arrested on
a bench warrant sworn out on lnfof-
nation laid before the grand jury,
which charges that she has knowledge
of the murder of at least three women
and the destruction of scores of babies.
The witnesses whose testimony the
Post-Dispatch says resulted in Mrs.
Bamberger's arrest, are Lizzie Rieger,
Mrs. Hare and the latter's married sis
ter, all of whom have been in the en-
ploy of Mrs. Bamberger as nurses. Miss
Rieger was nurse at the Choteau ave-
nue. house for three years. The others
preceded her. Miss Rieger left the
place year ago on account of q diff
ficulty with Mrs Bamberger's son. Tho
ex-nurses have occupied the greater
part of the time of the grand jury dur
ing the last three days.
The Post-Dispatch asserts that the
body of Miss Dessert, who disappeared
from home in 1897, was buried in the
cellar in September of that year. An
other witness declares the body of Miss
Annie Zimmerman of Moline, ILL.,, who
died from criminal operation, was
thrown into the Merrimae river.
The story related by the nurses is
almost Incredible The tales deal with
the disposition of the bodies in a re-
voting manner. If all the allegations
be true the home of the accused Is n
Veritable charnel house"
Five indictments We're found against
Mrs. Bamberger late this afternoon by
the grand jury. One charges murder in
the first degree, three charges man
slaughter in the first and one in the sec
ond degree.
