Princeton toughs made things lively out the Butler road Saturday night by going into houses and compelling people to give them lood. shot guns have been prepared and the next visit these fellows make will be the occasion of blood being spilled. half the labor and money that has been spent in the past in digging channels in the Ice on pittsburg and other streets had been expended in putting In sewers below the frost line, hundreds of dollars might have been saved to taxpayers, and other parts of the city might have received needed attention.

strangest thing developed by any attempt to improve the city by sewers, pavements, is that those who would have to pay the least for the improvements and who would, perhaps, derive the most benefit from it are said to oppose it; while the heavy property owners, who have to pay the greater part of the taxes of every kind, are in favor of it. To put in sewers where they can be put In and lay down pavements where It can be done legally would make work plenty, would give employment to the unemployed, would take the money out of the pockets of the wealthy property holders and put ic in the pocket ot the poor laborer.

Price 25 cents a bottle. vicinity of the Har))or, wiucii never been accused of strange or irnprobai)le, is ihe source of a story of an indecisive battle. scene ol the encounter was an orchard between that place and New Bedfonl, where two men and two dogs distinguished themselves in a bold attack upon a cat said to be of the wild species, but catus or felis domestica the pussy was left in possession ot the field. pet story, that unless he is re-elected councilman the funds of the city will be wasted, sounds a little hollow to those who remember that he voted away $10,000 of city moneys to the Wallace Bank. He was smart enough not to have any of his own funds in that bank when it failed.

Can it be that Mr. did not exercise the same ability in the transaction of the city business that he did in the transaction ot his own private business, or can it be that when other depositors were unable to get one cent of their money from the bank, Mr. Fallis got his in consideration of his voting away $10,000 of the city funds? Castle must exhibit more public epirU or go out of business. Nearly every town between Pittsburg and Cleveland is enjoying a boom. New industries are coming in, trade is good, and property is rapidly increasing in value.

In this time of almost universal progress and prosperity property in New Castle is falling lower and lower. Few, if any, new industries are coming in, and general business is very quiet. It would be hard to find in any other community of twelve or fifteen thousand souls as little public spirit. We know ot no town of the same size having so few public improvements. If the rich, who own the property, will not of their own accord improve the city, the poor should compel them to do so.

They can do it if they will vote aright. 9(abbatli The large audience of men assembled Sunday evening at the Park Opera House were fortunate in being audience to one of the plainest, most ipractical, common sense sermons ever heard in tins city. It made plain by sound reasoning and happy illustration the inevitable consequence of broken law. Mr. McGrana- hans song, sung in his usual powerful but touching manner could not fail to reach the heart of each man present.

At the about twenty persons announced an intended change of life. At the same time House was crowded by a gathering composed almost entirely of ladies. Many people came to the doors and left unable to obtain seats. The ministers having the meeting in charge succeeded in making it one of interest and religious earnestness. Nearly half of the audience expressed a to devote their time and thought to the meetings of the week.

Mr. C. C. Sankey conducted the singing. 9iaturday Sinners.

James Roxbury was arrested by Officers Marshall and Simpson for being drunk and disorderly. He was fined $5. John Spitler was arrested by Ofilcer Reed for raising a disturbance at the Park Opera House Saturday night. He was fined $4. A countryman named John Bowers w'as arrested Saturday night for being drunk and driving recklessly about the city.

She was fined $4. She refused to tell the Mayor where she got her liquor. A warrant was issued by the Mayor last June for the arrest of Welsh, who is charged in an information with assaulting an old man named Richard Jones.

Through the untiring eflbrts of Detectives Brown and Marshall a number of criminals have been arrested and as in almost every instance through exceedingly good detective work confessions have been obtained, the cost of conviction will be small. Among the interesting matters that will come up will be a decision in the Melinda Duke disorderly house case, the Edward Reeble cider case. Rose Miller disorderly house case, Bill Sharps cases in which he has pleaded guilty to the Manning and Geiger robberies, the James Bolmer case in which Bolmer has pleaded guilty to the Geiger robbery, the McGeorge case, in which Schell, Murray and Sigler have confessed to being guilty of robbery and attempted murder, the case in which Rose Miller, Scott Kirkwood and Detweiler are charjied with robbing Owen Finnegan, the cases against Casey, Klingensmith and McGraw, charged with aggravated assault and battery the Walters whisky case, anti several others of minor importance.

John Waddington occurred at his home in Mr. Waddington was tor many years the postmaster at Eastbrook. He had inanv friends i'nd relatives in this city and was well in all parts of the county. He was Englishman by birth, his life daang from Feb. 2, 1819.

His life in this county has always been associated with all the public movements ot the place and his death will be deeply felt by all.

The large audience that saw Robert Downing and his excellent company in the at the Park Opera House Saturday night was more than pleased witl: the performance.

Mr. Downing was called before the curtain at the end ol each act. Should he return to New Castle he will be greeted by a much larger house. Unlike many other stars Mr. Downing does not surround himself with but has a company of unusual merit.

Not Impressed the Queen. A woman who has seen not a little ol social and political life in Washington for the last thirty years is Mrs. Martha J. Coston, writes a correspondent of the Cleveland Leader. In the course of a pleasant chat I asked Mrs.

Coston what part of her social experience during a fifteen sojourn abroad she enjoyed the most. be she replied, smilingly, must confess that my presentations at the English and French courts were to me the most entertaining, because there was so much that wiis novel, and the glitter and pomp and display was such a striking contriist to our republican way of doing did you think of Queen Mrs. Coston replied: was at the princess of first drawing-room after her marriage that I was presented, and the queen did not receive; but afterwaril 1 had a capital opportunity to see her. It was at the launching of the Victoria, at I was invited to be present by the duke of Somerset. A brilliant company assembled awaiting her majesty.

At last there was a commotion and I supposed the queen was coming. I looked earnestly for some appearance of royalty, but only saw a stout, elderly lady, whose self and toilet, I thought would make a good caricature for Funcli as British Matron She was very broad, both of and of iiml iier iace wiva rcd and cross. Her toilet consisted of a large, gayly- plaided poplin, so short in the skirt as to expose the tops of a pair of heavy walking shoes. A long, loose velvet sack fitted so tightly over the full dress that it gave the ligure a like and a dark green hat of uncut velvet, its plumage draggled by rain and blown by the wind, was worn on a head that did not suggest fsmiliar- ty WMth a crown, but the linishing blemish was a huge muli' of royal ermine suspended round the fat neck by a cord, and which, not i)eing in use, wobbled helplessly back and forth over her well-rounded body. is that funny, fussy 1 asked laughingly of my naval escort, a British officer.
