Legislative Sketch 'o. A.
Hon. Alfred Short was born in
Sharon township, Potter county, Pa.,
January l, no is iicsceimeu irom
Scoieh-J nsli parentage tlie same na
tional source from whence havesprung
large numbers of tho most talented
and influential men this country has
produced. His grandfather, John
Short, an old and iiitlucntial citizen of
Tioga county, still lives at the patriar
chal tnro of eighty-niUo years. His
father Samson Short, wasa well-known
lumberman of the Allegheny waters.
He acquired very considerable wealth,
and in lSi'.O removed to Elk county,
whore ho was also sueccsslul in the
lumber business, till 1M7 when he re
tired to North East borough, Erie
county.
His mother was Miss Olive E.
Sherman, daughter of G. W. Sher
man, Esip, a well-known citizen of
Potter county. Young Short, the sub
ject of this sketch, bcr.au ids education
in the common schools of potter
county, theivafler one year in liich
bui'g academy, Allegheny county, X.
Y.; Friendship academy, one year, and
two years at the Alfred university, of
which Prof. Kenyon, the author of
Kenyon's Grammar, was the principal,
all situated in Allegheny county, N.
Y.
Upon completing his education in
1807, Mr- Short at once embarked in
the lumber business in Elk county,
and is now sawing three million feet
of pine lumber per year, in April,
1872, he moved to North East and as
sisted his father in his business affairs,
embracing valuable properly in widely
separated districts. He then, having
become a partner of thebanking house
of Messrs. Blaine, Gould and Short, of
North East, was appointed cashier, in
which capacity he served till 1878. He
still remains a partner in tlie bank
Mr. Short has also an interest in
eighteen producing oil wells in the
Bradford district. All these varied
and important material interests,
re.juiriug a cool ami experienead brain
namely, his large lumbering buiin -.
agisting his father in the management
of his property, and hi oiiieia! and
partnership connection with a prosper
ous banking house have been so far
successfully tarred for by him, and
which indicates a goodly (juanluui of
administrative ability. At tho age of
twenty-five he was married to Miss
Helen A. Horion, daughter of Jaao
llorton, Esip. un old lumberman of
Elk county, the fruits of which mar
riage are a son and daughter. Two
years airo Erie county elected the lion.
V. A. Hitchcock as its representative
on tlie Republican ticket to tlie legis
lature by a majority of 2.0U5. East fall
Mr. Short defeated the Republican
candidate for tlie same office, he being
the Democratic nominee, by 418 ma
jority, a revolution in tho jiolitios of
tho county almost without precedent
in any State of the Union. There
was a variety of causes which brought
it about, of local interest, which it is
unnecessary to mention in this brief
sketch.
Mr. Short is a member of tire com
mittees on corporations and centen
nial. Ho stands A 1 in the ranks of the
members of the legislature, both on
account of his ability, and his efficient
and industrious application of his
talents.
Wilcox LettelN
The monthly concert of mission
WAS bold in the Reformed uhurch on
the evening of Feb. 2nd. The meet
ing was a large one, and the object
was domestic missions. The pastor
spoke for a few minutes from 8t.
Johu's gospel 4:16, " Go, call thy hus
band," truly a suituble text, for home
missions begin M home. He was fol
lowed by Mr. James M alone who drew
a striking lesson from the politicians;
how they Would search alleys, streets,
places of poverty and bar-rooms for
their vote. Why should not the
people of Ihe church do as much ? they
should do a great deal more, and
there would not bo so many empty
seats in churches. He was followed
by Mr. II. Campbell who related that
In the city of Brooklyn, N. Y. whero
:n 184" n prayer-meeting was held un
der a tree amopg vicious and Ignorant
people, now there is a large mission
church, and how the cause had sprung
up in a few years along this valley.
Prosperous churches aud sabbath
schools. The paste -stated that thirty
six out of the original sixty-seven pe
titioners for the church had died or
moved away, still tlie attendance had
Increased and prospects brightened ail
around. Elder Pix-ston added a few
well chosen remarks, and one of the
most fruitful of our meetings closed.
The Sabbath-school Is prosperous.
Our villages need far more personal
effort, go on; go ou dear brother u rich
harvest awaits your labors.
Things in the town are looking more
prosperous. Spring will-enforce the
old custom of breaking tip old homes
and making new ones.
We are all waiting patie'Uly for the
new railroad which will come whistl
ing and plunging through the valley,
throwing stones and rocks in an igne
ous shower on every side. Like a
gigantic spider seems to spin the iron
track upon which lie is to return.
That Wilcox Is t' become a great oil

Washington, D. C, February 13.
thefe is entirely too much going on
outsldrj cif the regular routine blrslrtess
of legislation to enable Congress to
complete its Work by March 4th. It
is now the opinion of Dearly every
one familiar with Congressional busi
ness that an extra session Will be
necessary. Mr. Edniurids has got the
Senate into a lengthy debate over his
Constitutional arriendmentresoltUiOns, ,
and, while it is evident thai a majority,
of the Senators think no further legls-'
latiou is neeessary-'-tbat the States are
competent to enforce the laws there
Is a disposition totalk about the!
matter. It Is all politics, and Mr. Ed
munds does not seen! to have accom
plished anj' good, nor even to have
gained any party advantage, by spring
ing the subject. For some days
Senators were occupied with the con
sideration of Mr Conkling's tilt with
the Administration over the New
York Custom House appointments,
and until it was settled tliPte wasa!
good deal of interest, not to say excite
ment. LTp to within a few hours of
the vote the Senator thought he had
a majority with him, which wfts doubt
less the case, but Secretary Sherman
entered the ring with u lot of Foreign
'Appointments "and slch" at his dis
posalInfluence which even Senators
can not resist, especially when their
terms are to expire within a few
weeks. So John won the fight, and
Conkllng is discomfited. But his re
lation is secure so that eveu if ho does
lose control of ;the machine in New
York, as the Administration followers
c:pect, his personal fortunes can not
be materially v-lfected for the present.
And for that matter I suspect the
Senator is a long ways from dead yet.
He will give that curl on his foretop
another shake some fine day and at
tho same lime shako up the Repub
lican parly of the Empire State, in a
manner that Hayes, Sherman and
company, will heartily despise. There
is time enough for that "greatest effort
of his life" yet. .
Tho Democratic section of Congress
is rather in advance of the Senate end
in tho routine business, but it has a
good deal on hand that must consume
time before the close. The Army re
orucaniatiou bill is now under con
sideration. Theoriginal Burnside bill
has been withdraw u ami a new one
substituted, which omits the most
objectionable features of the first ami
contains all its beiler points. But
even this may not pass. Tho Repub
licans are mostly against it and a few
Democrats also There is a prohabil
ity, however, that Gen, Harry White
has Republican strength enough with
hiui ou the Republican side to offset
the few Democrats who oppose the
mcasrue, and that it will finally go
through by a small majority. Then
thcro are a million or so of Committee
Reports to come ill before tlto end
arrives. The Potter Committee now
investigating the cipher dispatches
will have to report their findings in
that lino, and likewise their con
clusions, touching the fraud investi
gation with which they have been
busied th; past year, 'l'hese reports
mav contain richness. Mr. iMiileyis
expected to tell what, his committee
lias lounu amiss in tlie iiovcrnmeiit
Printing Otiice, and tho Naval Com
mittee has got its prod ready for ex-
Secrctary itooeson. t hese are only
a few specimens. There are others loo
numerous to mention.
Every body in Washington Is stage
struck. There are not as many big
social events as usual this season, and
receptions at the White House arc
rather slimly attended, but nrivatc
Iheat! Ieuls, club ball, and that sort of
social entertainments are the rage.
Even General Sherman has the stage
fever. There is a time in tho life of
most young people of the citj when
a. strange fancy for the stage and its
gluiy aud glitter takes lull possession
of their being How grand the
homage to stage genius seems to us
tlieii. How pretty the tinsel looks
from the front of the house; how
pretty the actresses, ami how many
times we have mistaken dirty cambric
lor the hncst satin; how brightly
shine the glass diamonds; how
threatening the wooden swords and
tin daggers. How sweet It would be
if this strange fascination, like all the
other illusions of life, could last al
ways. But it all changes when we see
our Dcdemona, or Ophelia, or Juliet,
or Paulino swigging lager behind tlie
scenes. To most people the period
when the glory of theatres and actors
is at its zenith is before the twentieth
year is reached. General Sherman,
however, is an exception to this rule.
Tho fever has just struck him. I have
never seen such simplicity in so old a
man. He is an inveterate theater goer,
and his adoration for actors ami
actresses is something sublime; His
attention to them must be delightfully
refreshing like the breeze from a
meadow. Ho waits on them, runs
utter them and before them, is the
most humble of wretches. If I am not
mistaken General Sherman graduated
from West Point in 1840, and can not
bo far from t50 years of age, yet he flies
around the humblest of actors like a
dancing master, and Is never so happy
as when he has an actress of some
distinction on his arm. With the
ordinary mortal Sherman is as cross
and surly as he can bo, und seems to
delight in doing illnatured things, but
witli actors and actresses he is as
genial as u May morning. How
charming it will be for him to die in
the belief that everything on the stage
is real.

Murder at Knnci
(FfOnV McKoan Minor, tli Inift.) '
Lost night a young iriari by 'the!
name of Villiam Tees was commuted
to jail by Crrristnble O'Connor, of Kane,
on the ehnrge of assaulting an old man
by the name of Swaiison, Swede,
aiid a resident of Kane. As a simple
ease of assault the matter would
prchaps create but little general
interest, but this morning a toregtam
was received by the Sheriff from the
coinmittingjusttce, D. T. Halb Stating
that Swanson has since died, which
makes it at least a very serious matter
for the accused.
The facts, as close as we can gather
them from an interview with the pris
oner nnd tlie constable, are about as j
follows : Tees, the prisoner, the old
man Swanson ana his sort, and
another Sweed whose name we could
not learn, were at Swanson's house,
which is located across the railroad
from Kane village, In what Is known
as the "Swede settlement." They had
a quantity of alcohol in the house, and
evidently had been indulging in that
quiet beverage. Tees states that t live j
time the trouble occurred young Swon
son had gone up stairs to bed. He
(Tees) was readiug a paper. The old
man Swanson and the other Swede
were disputing angrily in Swede, and
though ho could hot undorstund all
they said, seemed to be quarreling
about some money. Finally the other
Swede struck Swanson a heavy blow
on tho temp'e with some weapon
which he did not distinguish. Then
he (Tees) jumped up and knocked tlie
other Swede down and under the
table aiivi picked Swanson up and
commenced bathing his wound with
cold water. At this time young Swan
son, hearing the fracas, came down,
and without stopping to investigate
the matter, nicked up a hatchet and
threw it at Tees, hitting him on tlie
leg, at which he ran, followed by the
entire party, when he Was met and
arrested by" Constable O'Connor. Tees
says ho is' not a Swede, bnt of German
descent. Ho has been living in Kane
about six months and has been at
work on the oil tanks. As It now ap
peal's from his story, many points of
which are corroborated by the con
stable, there seems a stronir miestion
whether Tees or the other Sweed is
tho guilty party. Tho latter will
probably Co arrested to-day, and It will
be for tho court aud jury to decide as
to the true criminal.
Tine oil company. St. Mary's has
had her periodic of oil fever. Our
town is now undergoing an attack
which bids fair to result in putting
down at least two holes to tlie depth
of ,000 feet. The parties at the head
of tliis movement arc earnest, energetic
workers, aud have now over Soor
subscribed. Nearly all our citizens
are represented, a few only, refusing
to take shales, and It is conlldently
believed that tlie oil company will
prove a success. In the event of the
company being successful in striking
oil in this vicinity, tlie future pros
perity of the town and country will lie
assured. AlmosH every one who has
made oil a study give it as their
opinion that oil vxis's In this vicinity.
