The Smethport (McKean co.) Miner

for sinking the well has been awarded
i
and the work of building the derrick
has been actively commenced. The
company comprise tan of the most re
sponsible and enterprising gentlemen of
this place, with a capital amply suffi
cient to givo it a thorough test. The
engine (which is already procured,)

of the best and most durable material,

According to a Washington paper,
since the passage of the new franking
law committee clerks have been kept
busy franking thousands of documents,
many of which have been stowed away
at the capital for many years past.
Congressmen are now able to send
through the mail free, and the result is
that the postofEce at Washington, is
clogged with such matter, tons of it be
ing received daily. It is rather eheer-
ful to read this and reflect upon the fact
that the postage which the people have
to pay upon miscellaneous matter has
doubled. Wouldn't it be almost worth
while to call an extra session of congress
to repeal this most odious measure?
Certainly a repeal will be the first law
put through after congress docs con"
vcoe a"aiu.
Sittlcment Dat. The first POO
tion of an Act of Assembly, approved
the Z4th day ot April. 1874. Favs
"The Auditors of the soveral townships
ana boroughs within this Common
wealth shall meet annually on the first
Monday of June, and oftcner, if ncces
saiy, and shall audit, settle and adjust
the accounts of tho Supervisors. Road
Commissioner!, Overseers of the Poor.
School, Borough aud Township Treas
urers, as may by law be referred to
them."
This is, no doubt, the proper time to
settle up School affairs, but it is en
tircly out of order, in our judgment, for
our oounty so fur as Supervisors and
Overseers are concerned. These offi
cers are elected in February, and should
be ready to enter upon their duties by
the 1st of April. Therefore; why not
settle on tho first Monday of March?
This is long enough after the election to
know who is elected, and befora tha
March Court and floods would interfere
with tho settlement.
We would suggest that the Auditor
of the several boroughs and townships
of this county and the officers agree
upon a certain day during the Spring
lor settlement, and then adjourn over
until the first Mouday of June next nnd
settle their School matters, and on that
day adjourn over until the first Monday
of March, 187G, making a memoran
dum of the fact upon tho township
book, and hereafter that day will be as
valid in law as an Act of Assembly.

Us no Stove Dampkrs. These
nuisances are now quito common,
snd because they "save wood," and
thereby save money they are popular
By shutting off the upward draft they
throw back into the room all tho poi
sonousgas generated by the combustion
of fuel, and are therefore very destruc
tive to health. It is a subject of com.
mon remark I bat an open fire-place is
more healthy than a stove, and it is
largely owing to the better circulation ot
the air through the open upward draft.
Now it is true that wood miht be
saved in a fire-place by covering up the
top of the chimney; but wo should not
wish to live in the house. And that is
exactly the principal on which wood is
saved by means of dampers in stove
pipes. ! ire may be easily checked by
shutting off the supply 0f air in front,
and this is the only safe method of
checking it in a stove. If all the air
could be shut off from the firo iu front,
it would go out as quickly as if it were
immersed io water. Thus it uuy seem
that fire may be well controlled if the
stove is tolerably tight iu fiont when
closed up. All who do Lot wish to com
mit suicide nor to uuderuiine the health
of the family will do well to discard
stovepipe dampers. Laws of Life.

THE MURDERER OF BUTLER.
HIS ARRIVAL IN THE CITY LAfcT EVEN
ING AN INTERVUW WITH TBB
- MURDERER HIS THEORY OF THE
CASE HE SAYS THAT BUTLER FIRST
SnOT HIM THROUGH THE ARM.
We have already recorded the arrest
of Joseph Lansbury, the man who
eleven years ago shot and killed
Colonel Butler in Clearfield county
Lansbury was a deserter from the U. S.
army, and Colonel Butler was instructed
to capture him. It is said that Lans-
bury had openly threatened to shoot
any man who attempted to arrest him,
and Uolonel JJutlcr went to his house
with a full knowledge of his danger,
and with assistance, prepared for any
emergency ot the kind. When Col
Butler came to Lansbury's bouse the
later shut htm with a rifle, from which
wound he died the next day. The
most intenso excitement existed at the
time, and goverment officials have, dur.
ing this long interval, attempted in vain
to make the arrest.
A warrant for the arrest of Lansbury
was placed in the hands ot Detective
Rathbone, of tho United States Secret
Servioe, on the 18th of March, lie at
once proceeded to Liberty, Tioga couuty
in wtueh place it was said .Lansbury
was domiciled. He fortunately got an
intimation of his whereabouts irom some
words, inadvertently dropped by Lsn8'
buiy's friends at Liberty. Furnishins
himself with the paraphernalia of a tree
peddler, Rathbone canvassed tho county
in tho vicinity of English Centre, and
located the murderer. Making '.he ar
rangements at Jersey Shore, in com
pany with A. B. Miller, assisted by
Constable Dingier, of Jersey Shore,
Rathbone made the arrest.
Lansbury arrived in the city last
evening on the eight o'clock way pas
senger train. As a matter of precaution,
it was telegraphed here that he would
arrive on the Pacific express, yesterday
afternoon, aud it was not known or ex
pected hero that lie would be brought
on the way passenger last evening.
Upon the arrival of the train at Law
reuccville, the prisoner was taken off
tho train, nnd officers from the city
met tho party with a carriage, and
Lansbury reached tbc jail about nine
o'clock.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MURDERER.
This morning, through the courtesy
of Warden Smith, a Telegraph reporter
was permitted to see Lansbury in the
jail. As he stopped out of his cell.
there was nothiug in his appearance to
indicate the murderer or desperado.
He seemed rather like a farmer who
had just stepped out of his house on a
spring morning to go to work. Lans
bury is thirty-two years of age, rather
tall aud slightly stoop-shouldered. Ho
was in his shirt sleeves, and had his
pants tucked in his boots. His hair
was stringy and disheveled, and his un
combed beard exteuded about the lower
part of his lce. He seemed unrestra-
iucd and open in speaking of the kill
ing of Butler, and did not seem to ob
ject to talk on the subject.
HIS ACCOUNT OF THE ATFAIR
is somewhat different from that given
above, and, of course, tends to excuse
himself lor the killiug of the officer.
"It was very early in the morning," he
said "when Butler and another man
came to my house. I had no room to
store my grain, and I had placed it iu
the loft ol my house. When Butler
came to the house he was not in uniform
He broke into the house, aud without
telling me who he was, be drew a re
volver aud fired at me. The ball struck
2 in the left arm (Lansbury here
showed tho reporter how the ball had
cut the muscle ot the little liniriirt
Well, I thought then that it was a mat
ter ot life and death with me, and I
reached behind the door, where my rifle
was Bittiuii, and
took the uun and shot
him."
DENIES THAT II E TRIED TO SECRETE
HIMSELF.
Lansbury says that it is uot true that
he has attempted ever since tho crime
to secrete himself oud avoid arrest, and
that he has changed his name on sev
eral occasions, lie acknowledges that
after the shooting of butler he went to
Seymour, Mich., and was engaged fur a
year io hauling lumber on the Kawkaw-
hit river. He worked here, he soys
during the cummer, and although he
did not change his name he was gener
ally kuown there by a nickname. In
the fall he went to Erie county, New
York, aud worked there during the
winter. He then went to Alleghany
county, New Yoik, aud worked a year.
llis general occupation during this time
was driving a team. He purchased a
small piece of land in Cameron county,
I a., and lias been living there, he says,
ever since. He supposed, be says, that
this thing had all blown over, and that
be v7ouid not now be arrested.
HIS THEORY OF THE ARREST.
While in ronvemutinn with our re
porter this morning he said that bis ar
rest at this late day, was made tor politi
cal effect. Tho renni't.r asked tha nrix.
- j r
oner what gave him thii impression, aud
in what manner the arrest could be so
used. Lansbury replied that he had

shal, and that bin arrest, bo understood,
was more for the purpose of implicatiag

The Beatty Oil Wall.
The "balls" and "bears" art fighting
over the status ot the Warren oil well
lately struck by Mr. Beatty. Noither
party will be likely to give an impartial
statement. It was first reported a 200
barrel well. And no one to this day
knows whether it ts or is not that mucb,
more or less. Tbe operations of the
well are shrouded in mystery, which
leads many to conclude a large quan
tity of oil con be obtained, and that ef
forts are being made to provent a yield,
and to keep it down to the mark at on
time telegraphed, viz. A four barrel
well. There is scarcely a sensible man
who knows about oil wells but give it
as a belief that it is a good .well, and
may be made much larger than it is.
Tho best that can be done to keep back
the oil, it will yield irom fifteen to
twenty barrels per day. It has not
been pumped as wells are when oil is
desired. Tbe well is but a very few
feet in the sand rock; and when oil was
found and the indications of a copious
flowing well discovered, drilling was
stopped; but the oil flowed nevertheless,
and continues each day on the even
tenor of its way, regardless of the
"bulls." Tbo tank is covered and
locked and the outside world can get
no information of a positive nature.
But the Warren oil well is not a fizzle,
as is being reported, and if it was for
Mr. Beatty's interest to have more oil,
he would sink the well deeper, and
properly adjust his cups and valves.
.'..Mr C. W. H. Vcrbaok is putting up
a derrick in the vicinity, and will find
out for himself whether there is oil, aud
in what quantities, beside other parties
aro about to sink wells. We perdict a
busy season. Parties at a distance need
not put the Beatty well down as a fail
ure; for it is seldom these kind of fail
ures are put under lock and key. Fail
ures show for themselves. Warren
