Dr. John Ege, of Beading, has just received the information that the case brought against him by the Medical Society of Lebanon county, from which he appealed, has been affirmed by the Supreme Court. Dr.

Ege, while a resident of Beading, and registered there, attended patients in Lebanon, for which he was arrested, not having registered in that county. The Lebanon Comity Court decided that he mu3t pay the S2OO for practicing in that couuty and not registering there. This the Supreme Court affirmed. The decision means that physicians must register in every couuty in which they practice. Dr.

Ege has since registered in Lebauon. The prosecutor gets half the fine. J. F. Stewart, of Paintsville, Kentuckey, who presided at the silver weding of his brother, A.

G. Stewart, of Connoquenessing township, is one of the most successful Butler county men that we ever heard of. When a boy he wai troubled with in tlammatory rheumatism and sought a milder climate in 1856 by emigrating to Kentucky. He located in Johnson county, r.iisal a at the beginning of the war and fought -on the Union side, of four years as its captain, was elected to the State legislature after the war, served a term as Law Judge of his district, and is now a U. S.

District Attorney, and counsel for a strong railroed company. The well worded accouut of the silver wedding that we published last week was written by Mr. E. J. McJuukin.

the society items of the Lradrr we take the following: Out in Butler a pretty church wedding brought together a number of the friends of the bride and groom on Tuesday morning. Sharp on the stroke of six the bridal party en'ered and made its way to the altar, where the solemn ritual of the Catholic church was conducted by Rev. Father Nolan, he finally pronouncing Mr. James Cain, of the Butler Glass company, formerly of Starpsburg, and Miss Minnie Rbeinlander, of Butler, one. The bride looked very sweet in an exquisite dress of pink satin veiled in white lace.

A wedding breakfast, at which none but immediate relatives were present, followed closely 011 the Qeremony. The presents were beautiful' including an immense collection of silverware. Mr. and Mrs. Caiu will reside in Butler, They have postponed their wedding trip until July, when they will travel for a couple of The Democrat Convention.

The Democratic Return Judges mot in the House last Monday and oririnizi il by electins Jacob Zeigicr President; deo. R. White, C'. M. Heineman and Xicol Allen, Secretaries; and James H.

Tebay, Geo. Marburger and J. McKee, a committee to tabulate and count the vote. The returns were handed in to the President, who read them aloud and then turned them over to the committee. All the returns excepting that of Washington were on hand, and the committee was instructed to count it in when it came.

A Committee on Resolutions consisting of Geo 11. Graham, R. Black, Ed. Donahue, Samuel Beers and G. D.

Swain was appointed by the chair. These gentlemen retired and soon after came in with a string of resolutions re-alfirmiDg the principles of the Chicago platform, endorsing Cleveland as President, and John G. Carlisle as Speaker of the House, denouncing the Republican party and the Republican Legislature, praising the Judges of the Judicial district and denouncing the Republican convention and press for reflecting upon them, denouncing gambling in the necessaries of life, endorsing the candidates nominated, aud nominating Judge McMichael for Supremo Judge. The resolutions were read and all of them were satisfactory to the entire convention excepting the 6th which reads as follows: 6th, That the people of this Judicial district have reason for congratulation that the important office of Judge is held by men whose private characters aud judicial honesty aud integrity are above reproach, and it is a pleasure to know that their judicial actions can neither be shaped nor controlled by whispered instructions or public demonstrations, aud that we deplore the action of the Republican party, through its convention and press, in unjustly reflecting upon the judicial action of our Courts. And a motion to strike out all of the resolution after the word "reproach" started a discussion that last ed over an hour.

Mr. Black of Uarrisville, Geo. White and C. M. Ileineman of Butler and others were in favor of striking out that part of the resolution, os a matter of policy, but Geo.

11. Graham and other gentlemen whose names we do not know were in favor of letting it remain, and of standing on true Democratic principles, showing their colors, etc and they finally carried the day, aud the objectionable words remained as a part of the resolution. They are simply a bid for the whiskey vote. W. H.

Martin, Jacob Ziegler, Geo. Graham, Jas. McMichael, G. D. Swain and Jos.

Yanderlin were nominated for Delegates to the State Convention, which meets at Allentown in August. Graham and McMichael withdrew and the other four were elected by acclamation. Frank M. Eastman and John M. Roth, were nominated for Chairman.

A Horrible Death. A month or so ago Mr. Elmer Dobson, of Clay traded horses with his cousin, Howard Pryor, a liyeryman of Sunbury. The horse he secured was supposed to be suffering from distemper and Elmer treated him for that, but when he ascertained he had the glanders he returned him. Elmer bad a slight scratch or wound on his right hand, which two week 3 ago, became inflamed and swollen, and he became so sick that he had to take to his bed.

A physician was sent for, who at first supposed that the young man was taking a fever, as he had all the first symtoms of typhoid, but after a few days he became convinced that the horse's disease had been communicated to Elmer and pervaded his whole system. Large, hard lumps appeared all over his eyes became inflamed, his muscles would contact like those of a person suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, his suffering was intense and on Tuesday last he died as horrible a death as one could imagine. Ho was a fine young man, but 21 years of age, and was the sole support of his mother and aged grandmother. The horse is said to be yet alive and if all the facts are as stated to us, it might be well for the people of that vicinity to investigate the matter. There is a law regarding pleurapneumonia in cattle, but none regarding glanders in is by far the most dangerous disease.

Bold Burglars. FREEFOKT, June entered the residence of H. Logan Weaver last night and robbed him of over SIOO of money and valuables. They crept, into hia bedroom while he was asleep, took his pants and vest which contained STO in money and his watch and chain. His pants and vest were found in Mr.

Sypbax's yard. The keys to his store and safe were found one equare above on the pavement. They took milk and edibles and ate a midnight lunch in his back yard and left. Mr. Weaver says they can have all the money if they will only leave his watch where he can get it, as it was a keepsake that money could not buy.

His name is engraved on the watch in two places and can easily be identified. There are some good clues which, if followed up, will bring the parties to justice ere long. "The Octoroon." This beautiful drama will be presented for the first time in Butler en next Tuesday evening, the 21st, by the Butler Dramatic Club. The play is an interesting one and should be attended by everybody.

Meyer, a well known and wealthy mill ownerjof Williamsport, aged (Hi years, has been served with a summons in a suit for breach of promise, brought by Miss Frankie Holbrook, for $59,000.

Martindell, of Washington county, has sold 25,000 pounds of wool for 2Gj cents a pound, after holding some of it for seven years and at one tjrne refusing 36 cents for it. Ashtabula county paper gives the following account of a strange freak of lightning in that countj: An apple tree standing soiu little distance from the house of James Brown, was struck and shattered quite badly. A wire clothes line connects the house and the tree, and the lightning followed the line from the tree to the house, where it entered at a pantry window, which was raised about two inches. It left no trace around the window, but tore the door of a cupboard which stood near by, to splinters, and moved the whole cupboard about two inches from the wall. Some of the knives in the cupboard were melted, and here it seems to have lost its force, as no further damage was done and its exit could not be traced.

people in this town, says the Sharon Herald are experiencing a novel sensatiou just are actually having to pay their taxes, a thing they were never known to do before. Collector L. Miller was instructed some time ago by the school board to proceed against several who have been earning good wages, sls to S2O a week, for years, and sending several children to school but would not pay a cent of tax. And they are only paying now because it is either pay or go to jail. strange incident has happened in Armstrong county of a brother and sister living near each other for twenty years and not knowing it.

The sister is Mrs Rev. (T. Focht, of New Salem, formerly a Miss Turner, and the brother was Mr. G. W.

Turner, of Brookville. Twenty years ago Mr. Turner was living at Kellersburg, Armstrong county, and at. that time Rev. G.

Focht stopped at the hotel for dinner on his way with his family to New Salem after annual Conference, Rev. Mr. Focht nor Mr. Turner knowing nothing of each other being in the country. It was reported that Mr.

Turner had been killed in the war, and when he came home he learned that bis sister had moved West somewhere. A few days ago Mr. Focht was in Brookville where he was introduced to Mr. Turner. In a conversation the two men discovered they were brothersin-law.

Mr. Turner went home with Mr. Focht and there met his sister for the first time in twenty years. The meeting was a joyful one -Kiltanning Press. A Crash in Coffee.

A decline of 7 cents a pound in the the price of green coffee, caused a panic in the New York Coffee Exchange, and the suspension of three large house, whose liabilities aggregate a million and a quarter. In April, 1880, Messrs. J. J. o'- Donohue Sou, W.

11. Crossman and several Havre bankers secured possession of 500,000 bags or more of coffee in the market and manipulated the market so that by April last they were able to get out with a profit averaging upward of 7i cents per pound. The net profits of the deal were about $5,000,000. They had bulled the market upon the prospects of a short crop for 188G-7. The crop for 1885-6 was 5,505,000 bag 3, and when the syndicate saw in April last that the receipts ai Rio were 480,000 bags per month and the crop for the current year promised to be largely in excess of the year previous, tbey let go all their holdings, but in a careful way, so as not to break prices and lessen their profits.

Then the Brazilian syndicate came into the market. It is said by those who have watched the market that they held 700,000 bags, and that the members have inside of three or four days been called upon for cash for margins. It was this syndicate Mr. Arnold represented in the trade. They have had almost com plete control of the market since tbey began operations and ran the prices of coffee up to 21 and 22 cents.

It is believed some of the members have unloaded and that the holdings are much less than when the break began. Fatal Accident. While Mr. James A. Maxwell, of near Butler, was assisting to build a barn for John Arthurs of Jefferson twp last Monday afternoon, a log slipped and struck him across the left face and breast, injuring him so badly that he died next morning, During thfc war Mr.

Maxwell was a member of Co. 78th Regimentnew organization, and he has for some years been workiug a the carpen tor trade. Good Advice.

General Notes. There is a deal of quiet but effective sarcasm in this world. It is now hinted that the Rev. Sam Jones is an evangelist "for rev enue only." In comparison with the horde of office-seekers who infest Washington President Cleveland regarded the swarms of black (lies and mosquitoes at Saranac as a utero trill'? not to be mentioned. A revival preacher addressed a Tennessee audience as a lot of "two legged" hags The next week he appealed to his hearers by calling them "pusillanimous skunks." Religion seems to have a queer effect on some men The injunction to "heap coals of fire on an enemy's head" cannot always be obeyed, when poor tenants have only bog peat for fuel; but the forgiving nature of the Irish is shown bv their coming as near obedience as hot water on the heads of their evictors.

The Welsh have profited by the experience of the Irish in resisting the police. At Denbigh last Saturday a mob gathered to prevent a sale for the collection of tithes, but instead of subjecting themselves to arrest they merely, in the words of the dispatch, "turned loose an excited The result was that the police were routed, reinforcements of troops were ordered up, nud only one arrest was made pcrsuniably not the bull's. Seeing an advertisement in a New York paper hew to strengthen the memory, a party of Nashville business men clubbed together and seat SSO for the recipe. It read thus: "Read everything you see carefully and repeat it three times a day as long as you live, and your memory will be greatly improved." Saturday last eleven great steamships sailed from New York to European ports, not one of them carrying the American Hag. They were all crowded with Americans, however.
