Democratic Connty Convention.
The Democratic County Convention
met in the Court House on Monday at 2
o'clock P. M. Every district in the
county was represented. It required no
scrnteii'zing look at tho faces of the

convince that they were earnest workers
in the political cause which they espous
ed. They are earnest men aud fight
vigorously in whatever cause enlisted.
whether it be in hording aloft the banner
and interests of a favorite chieftain, or
in bunting a foe, believing always that
they are tight, and never yielding till
they are convinced that they are wrong,
which once reached they as readily aud
gracefully turn from their foimer course
as Paul turned from the persecutions of
the Christians, to be their most earnest
friend and advocate. They are made of
the same steff as those who waged the
long wars against the Infidel Turks,
persecuted John EInss, and summoned
Martin Luther at Worms, or when ar
rayed sgaiu-t kingly prerogatives, drove
Charles the first from his throne, and set
up the Cromwellian government, or es
tablished on a permanent basis on Ply

our present great Republic.

Suicide of a Priest.
Rev. Alois Oehler, a Catholic priest
of Summit, Butler county, Pa., recently
committed suicide near East St. Louis.
He was found hanging to a tree. A
satchel was standing near by, and on the
fence was a package of clothes and a
black silk hat, evidently put there with
some care. The cord by which the body
was suspended, was a new one and a
piece of it was fonnd in the satchel care
fully tied up. His satchel contained a
pocket-book, empty, except one nickel,
spectacles, inclosed in a neat case, clean
underclothes, and a shirt, a new Smith
& Wesson revolver, loaded ; a rosary
crucifix, a package of paper and a seal
ed envelope, bearing in a neat and bold
handwriting the inscription, (in German)
"My Last Will." Among the papers
was a certificate of declaration to become
a citizen of the-United States, dated at
Pittsburgh, Pa , October 14, 1S72, and a
letter in German from the Rev. Aug.
Marie Mieman, of Summit, Butler coun
ty, Pa., to the Rev. Alois Oehler, dated
July 19. 1873. A piece of prose well
written, but not signed, yet in the same
handwriting as the will. The 'will' also
written in German, and signed by Alois
Oehler, was dated at Freiburg, III., July
12, and translated would read about as
follows.
"Knowing that I am not possessed of
any money having not been at work
for two years and three months, and
having spent 8600 I desire to be buried
decently, but without any ostentation or
religious ceremony. Therefore, I desire
that my personal effects, locked up in a
trunk at Mr. Ilein's, brewer, in East St.
Louis, consisting in part, of books, cloth
ing, and some silver ware, be taken to
pay the expenses of my funeral."
The verdict of the Coroner's jury
was that Alois Oehler, aged forty-two
years, came to his death by strangulation
caused by hanging himself. '
The deceased was well-known in both
St Louis and St. Clair county, 111., and
when sober was a very intelligent man ;
but he was so addicted to strong drink
that he kept under its influence whenever
he could get any one to give it to him.
In his dress he was very neat and tasty.
His clothes were eut in a clerical style,
and his whole deportment showed him
to be a man of fine culture. He was a
native of the Tyrol, Austria, but it is not
known whether he has any relatives in
this county. He was a Roinau Catholic
priest in good standing, bnt had ceased
to exercise any functions as such from
self consciousness of unworthiness. '
HEWS DESPATCHES.
ScRAXpe. Pa., August 12, 1873. A
thrilling catastrophe occurred this ofter-
noon ou the hills, about five miles from
this city, at a place called Kuhu's Patch.
A large Dumber of women and girls from
Scranton were on the hills gathering
berries, when a storm came up from the
south and they rushed to an untenanted
building to take shelter from the down
pouring rain.
About forty one women aud children
found rorayin the old house, while seven
were 'obliged to stand outside under the
storm. With the increasing storm the
sheets of fire began to descend, the light
ning becoming more vivid and the peals
of thunder seeming to advance from
distant caverns until the old building be
gan to tremble. At length a lightning
shaft, more vivid than any that had pre
ceded it, descended among the unhappy
group of womeu aud girls, killing two
of them and scorching in a frightful man
ner four others, tearing the flesh off their
limbs and produciig a heart-sickening
sceqe among the panic stricken women.
For some time even those who had not
been touched by the electric fire were
paraliaed by the appalling sight they
had seen, and were nnable to render any
assistance.
The groans of those fatally injured
and the six other victims were heart
rending, aud the utter helplessness of
the poor women and girls was pi table.
Word was sent eventually to Scranton
and with the utmost despatch messengers
were sent over the bill to the scene of
the disaster with wagons, medical atten
dance and bedding on which to convey
me ueaa ana wounuea to tne city, l wo
of the women who stood outside the shed
said that the excitement was so intense
when they teft the shocking scene that
they could not bear to go into the old
house nor to hear the moans of those
within who were suffering from the most
excruciating agony.
The road leading from Scranton to the
sad scene is almost impassable, being
completely flooded at several points, and
will be a late honr to-night before
those who have gone there with wagons
can return to the city.
I learn that a woman named Kline aud
a girl named Schenk. eighteen years of
age, the daughter of a blind man, are
dead.
LATER DETAILS OF TUB CALAMITY.
The party of women struck by light
ning on lae ivutra latch bills, near
Scranton this afternoon, have been
brought to this city. Only two were
killed on the spot, but four others are
burned fatally and many quite seriously.
Several of the women were unable to
find room iu the old hut or the deaths
would have been much more numerous.
One of the women standing on the
outside the time the fiery dart entered
the ill fated place states that the raiu and
hail was falling in torrents and all crowd
ed to the door. When the lightning
struck, preceded an instant before by a
terrifying peal of thunder one dreadful
chorus of screams rent the air and at the
sight of the dead and those whose flesh
had been stripped from their bodies in
many parts, several members of the par
ty faiuted, while the remainder, though
unhurt, were perfectly paralyzed wi:b
fear. It was some twenty minutes be
fore any one could be induced to move
toward the city for assistance, so great
was the dread that had fallen on them
by this frightful visitation. The Wyom
ing Valley bad been partly inundated
by the heavy rain, and there was con
siderable difficulty experieuced in reach
ing the unfortunate people
St. Loui. August 15. Advices from
the Pawnee :. reservation in Nebraska,
say the Pawnees ate preparing for a war
with the Sionx, in retaliation for the at
tack on them some days ago. They are
said to have about six hundred warriors
among themselves, and have invited the
Otoes, Omaha, Yanktons and Poncas to
join them. . Nearly all of them have ac
cepted the invitation, and at last accounts
the braves of these tribes were either at
or on their way to the Pawnee reserva
tion. The Pawnees expect to muster
1,600 warriors, and propose to prosecute
a relentless war against the Sioux.

Sioux war, see despatch on first page.
A Hint to Housewives how to keep Kltch
en ware Clean and Bright.
Every housewife of neat and tidy
habits takes especial delight in keeping
all the tin, copper and iron ware of her
kitchen as clean aud bright as painstak
ing labor can make them. A pride in
this direction is commendable, and al
ways meets the smiling approval of the
"tyrant man" who pays the household
bills. Remember that Sapolio is the on
ly thing on earth that will mrke an old
tarnished tin pan or a rusty kettle shine
as bright as new. And by the use of
Sapolio it is the "quickest and easiest
thing in the world to keep every utensil
in a high state of polish.

A VALUABLE WORK ON THE WEST.
' The Undeveloped West ; or. Five Tears
in the Territories." Being Complete His
tory of that vajt region between the Missis
sippi and the Pacific ; its Resources, Cliuate,
Inhabitants, Natural Curiosities, ete., with
Life and Adventure on Prairies Mountains,
and the Pacific Coast. By J. II. Beadli,
Western Correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, and Author of ' Life in dab,"
ete. Published by the National Publishing
Co., of Philadelphia.
The most attractive, as well as the
most remarkable portion of onr country,
is that which lies west of the Mississippi.
It is attractive to the emigrant, because
it is to that region that be looks for s
borne ; to the student of nature, because
of the stupendous marvels of creation in
which it abounds , to the capitalist, be
cause of its wonderful capacity for pro
ducing wealth. It is a IanIoi gran'
deur, beauty and romance.
Mr. Beadle spent five years in the
Great West, for the especial purpose of
exploring the country. "Setting out on
foot, he traversed the states of Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas,
as well as DakoUb and the indian Terri
tory ; viniting in person all that was
worth seeing ; examining the lands, liv
ing and conversing with the people, and
gaining for himself a fund of informa
tion, based upon his own observations
and discoveries, more extensive than one
man in a million can obtain.
He explored the various routes of the
Great Pacific Railways, and spent months
with the Indians, both frieudly and bos-
tile, studying their character and habits
He allowed no personal peril to deter
him from the execution of his plan. Thou
sands of louely miles were traversed by
him, aud he endured fatigue, hunger and
mauy dangers, that be might make
known the true character of the land and
people in which and among whom bis
wanderings were made. -
The book is full of information and
facts of the greatest importance, such as
could be obtained only by going after
them as this indefatigable explorer did.
These new States and Territories eon
tain incomparably the grandest scenery
in the world, and some of the richest re
sources of the American Continent.
Probably no ot'er man has ever jour
neyed so extensively among them as Mr.
Beadle certainly no one so competent
to describe what he has seen.
All sorts of people figure iu this work,
for it is a brilliant picture of life and
manners iu the Great West. The hardy
frontier farmer ; the wary huuter and
trapper; the reckless miner; the cruel
and degraded savage ; the hard-working
"Heathen Chinee the "much-married"
Mormon ; the strange remnants of the
oncc-powetful Aztec race all these fig
ure with the naturalness of life in this
remarkable work.
It is emphatically the greatest book of
the day, aud cannot fail of attaining an
immense circulation. We heartily re
commend it to our readers.
It is comprised iu one large octavo
volume of 323- pages, and Illustrated with
240 fine engravings of the scenery, landsf
miues, people and curiosities of the Great
West, and a new mtp of the region de
scribed. The book is sold by subscrip
tion only, and the publishers want agents
in every county.
