BIJTLERCITIZEN_
C. WEBLEY PBOP'BS,
Entered at the PoMojffice at Butler as
second-classs matter.
TH* Legislature will adjourn the
26th of May.
MAYOR LYON has five
colored men on his police force.
Pretty good for a Democratic Mayor.
JOHN BLACK, ESQ , has been appoin
ted a Justice of the Peace for this bor
ough in the place of Henry Pillow,
deceased.
JAMBS H. MURTLAND was elected
County Superintendent of schools, at
the Directors Convention yesterday, on
the 7th ballot.
GEORGE A. BLACK, Esq., whose health
has been bad for some time past, has
gone to Bedford Springs, in the hope of
getting some benefit from the same.
Latest news from him says he is im
proving.
WILLIAM KENNEDY, Esq., of Peon
township, is announced this week for
Coroner, as will be seen by the
announcement list. This will probably
complete the announcements made for
the coming Republican Primary.
THE Bald Ridge well continues to
pump at the average rate of eight
barrels per day. The belief grows
stronger that as soon as the great flow
of salt water is exausted or mastered an
increase of oil will follow. Companies
are being formed for sinking two more
wells in that neighborhood.
THE green grass was never more
beautiful and welcome than it is this
spring. The poetic "beautiful snow''
has given away to the more "beautiful
grass." The meadows are richly
green and give great promise. The
grain fields also look very fine and the
farmers have hopes of good crops. The
oats have generally been sown and the
ground for the corn is being prepared.
All appearences favor fine yields.
THE Republican candidates are moving
around the county quite briskly. They
have about a month's time yet to see the
voters, which we presume they will
occupy to the best advantage. In this
connection we might state that the can
didates for Prothonotary have agreed to
make no personal canvass for the nomi
nation to that office, leaving their cases
with their friends and the voters.
There are good men out for all the offi
ces and a good ticket should be selected
from them.
81-METALLISM to be successful must
be universal, but it evidently cannot
be that, for the English Government
does not intend to lie a party to the
double standard. The Loudon Efono
m ist says: "If the action of the Unit
ed States is in any way dependent on
that of England, the rejection of the
bi-mctallist proposals follows as a mat
ter of course. This country certainly
will never consent to their adoption."
The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Eng
land can no more adopt bi-metallism
than she can change her language."
THE United States Treasury build
ing in Washington contains over
$1 ,400,000 of unclaimed interest upon |
Goverment bonds. This sum is grow
ing larger every day. This money
can be drawn by applying for it to the
Secretary of the Treasury by those en
titled to it, stating the number of the
registered bond upon which the inter
est is due and unpaid. There are
thousands of persons who have bought
bonds and not knowing how to get the
interest on them, prefer to lose the \
same rather than expose the fact that
they have the bonds. Others have in
terest due them and actually forget the
fact, and it lies in the Treasury vaults
waiting for them to apply for it.
Should one of the clerks in th . bond
division inform a person to whom in- j
terest is due of the fact, and the same
be discovered, be would be instantly
discharged.
ALL we have to say as to the item
of Legislative proceedings, given in
this paper we<;k before last, and to the
effect that "Mr. Greer offered a reso
lution in the Senate to adjourn that
body from a Thursday of one week to
the Tuesday of the next week," is, that
the same item was published in all the
press of the State that come under our
eye. We think we copied from the
Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette, or the
Pittsburgh Dispatch, both of which
give synopsis of daily Legislative pro
ceedings. The Eagle answers its own
complaint by its Harrisburg letter,
which immediately follows its charge of
last week, by admitting that "the re
ports of Legislative proceedings were
not always correct." We never moke
any statement that we fail to correct if
found not correct. The Eag.e would
have more character if it would do the
same thing. It is the last paper that,
we know of that should be charging
falsehood on others.
THE PRESID» XT FIRM.
Last week a number of Senators
called upon President Garfield and en
deavored to induce him to withdraw
the name or agree to the holding over
of the confirmation of Judge Robert
son, as collecter of the port of New
York. This was at the instance of the
"imperial" Senator Conkling of New
York, who has a personal ill-feeling to
Judge Robertson. President Garfield
informed them that he was acting (or .
the best interests of the country in
making his appointments, and as Judge
Robertson was an eminent Republican
and fully qualified for the office, he de
clined to be thus dictated in the mat- j
ter otiifrappfclaturtfct* ]
THE JUDICIARY BILL.
A Gross Insull Offered to But
ler County.
The State Senate last week passed
to third reading the bill known as the
Judiciary apportionment bill. Bv it
some of the judicial districts of the
State will be remodeled. This crises
under the law providing for a re-dis
tricting after each census taken. The
law allows a county that the census
has shown to possess forty thousand of
a population to be a separate judicial
district. Our county having attained
that number of population, as shown
by the late census, it was generally ex
pected, and generally desired, that we
should be declared a separate district.
Lawrence county, with which we are
at present joined, also desire* to be a
separate district. To this our people
and our members of the Legislature
made no objection, and make none now,
although it is well known that Law
rence county does not have the neces
sary forty thousand of a population.
That is a matter that concerns the law
officers of the State more than any
others. The bill as now passing in
the Seoate separates the two counties,
making Butler and Lawrence each a
separate judicial district. But in num
bering those districts a gross and a
needless insult js offered to this county
The bill takes from this county the p)d
original number that she has had for
more than fifty years, and places that
number to Lawrence county. Since
the time that "the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary" Butler
county has been in and known as part
of the "ITth Judicial District This
was the 17th district when it was com
posed of Butler, Beaver and Mercer
counties. When Mercer was separat
ed from us she received a new number,
35th district, we believe. When
Beaver was separated from us, she re
ceived a new number, 36th district.
Butler through all these changes re
tained the old number, the 17th dis
trict. The present district of Butler
and Lawrence retains the same num
ber. Lawrence, it might be stated,
was formed out of Beaver and Mercer
counties. But this bill now proposes
to rob us of this old name and number
and give us a new number, that of the
51st district. The bill fays Lawrence
county shall retain the old number, 17
and Butler have a new one, the 51st,
And why ? Why should the older, the
larger and greater county, be thus treat
ed? John M. Greer, our Senator, may
think he is not understood in this mat
ter. But his object is too apparent.
The object is revealed in the 12th sec
tion of this Senate bill, that he appears
to have special charge of and calls up
in the Senate quite frequently. This
12th section of the bill provides in sub
stance as follows:
SEC. 12. Where two judges are now
residing in the same disrrict. and that
district is by this act divided, the presi
dent judge of the same is hereby as
signed to the couuty bearing the num
ber of the district in which he was
elected; and the aditional law judge
shall be assigned to and be tte Presi
dent judge in the other county. And
if both are residents of the same county,
the judge not living in the county to
which he is hereby assigned, shall,
within three months, take up his per
manent residence in the county to
which he is so assigned, or else a va
cancy is hereby declared to exist in the
same."
Judge McJunkin is the President
Judge of this present district, Butler
and Lawrence counties, and Judge
Bredin is the Additional Law Judge
of the same. They are both residing
in this county. If the district is divid
ed according to the provisions of this
12th section, Judge McJuukin, the
President Judge, would be "assigned"
to Lawrence county, as that county
will be "bearing the number of the old
district, 17th." and Judsje Bredin, the
present Additional Law Judge, will be
assigned to aud lie President Judge in
this county, the new 51st. The object
is manifest. It is to "assign," or rather
an attempt to exile Judge McJunkin
j to Lawrence county, in the hope that
i Mr. Greer and perhaps some others
j have, that by that means they may
; put him out of the way of some aspir
! ants for his place on the Bench here
I when it become vacant. They would
| not only compel him to go to Lawrence
county, but to "take up his permanent
; residence there, or else a vacancy is
' hereby declared to exist" in said Law
rence county courts, This whole thing
is such an inappropriate, if not such an
| inde. ent thing, that all honorable men
of all parties denounce it as soon as
beard of; and we predict, that if it is
• carried out, it will rebound and react
on the inventors in such a way and at
! such a time as they least desire,
i Mr. Senator Greer's hostility to
Judge McJunkin is well known. He
is taking advantage of his little brief
authority and playing such fantastic
tricks as only serve to show to the peo
ple of this county his real character.
I We do not believe such a bill will pnss
the Legislature and be approved, nor
do we believe that the Legislature lias
the power to do all that the said 12th
section of said bill attempts. But be
this as it may, our people and our Bar
feel justly indignant at this attempted
' alight to our county, The whole mat
ter can be accomplished just as well,
sind with far more propriety, by per
mitting Butler to retain her old name
and number as a district. This will
not interfere with our neighbor Law
: rence county in getting to be a sepa
' rate district, to which all assent, and
will at the same time be recognizing
those just proprieties in life and a due
regard for long established facts.

JUDGE WILLIAMS, of Potter county, !
gives a flattering account of the public
morals, economy and comfort of the
people of the county that is yet with
out a railway and is the paradise of
the sports who seek the deer and the
fowl. He says: "in twenty years
there has not been a licensed hotel or
restaurant within the confines of the
county. There are enough of both at
all suitable places for the accommoda
tion of the public, but in none of them
is there a public bar. The sale is con
ducted,therefore, at great disadvantage,
clandestinely, and is very limited in
amount. As to results, I can say that
while the county is steadily growing
in population and business, pauperism
and crime nave steadily decreased.
For the past five years the ccuritv jail
has been fully one-half the t'rue with
out any other inmate than tJip keeper
and his family. Twice within the past
ten years I have, at the regular terms
| of court, discharged the jury on the
| 6epond day of the term without their
i having been called to consider a case
jof any description. The effect of this
system is felt in many ways; taxes
are reduced, the business of the crim
inal courts greatly diminished, indus
try and sobrie y take the place of idle
ness and dissipation, aud intelligence
j and morality are advanced."
The Constitutional A mendmect As
sociation.
It does uoi l b e Legislature to
amend the Constitution. It does j)' t
ask the members of the Legislature to
vote in favor of an amendment. The
ppjendment must obtain, if at all, by
the vole pf tfip people of the State. It
does ask the Legislature to e#bipit the
amendment to the decision of the pop
ular vote. Can any proposition be
mSre reasonable? Should not the
liquor fraternity agree to this most rea
sonable proposition ?

DEAR BROTHERS: —Your heip is great
ly needed now in our extremity. Our
advices are that there is now a dispo
sition iu th# SpH.aJc among politicians
to let our Amendment biuep jyithopt
action on it, till the Legislature ad
journs sine die. A member of the Leg
islatuie writes to us under date of the
17th, of April e»ying "The pressure of
the liquor men to defeat the measure is
terrible." They threaten to defeat the
Republican party who have the power,
if they permit the Amendment to pass,
and some of those who are conscien
tiously in favor of the measure are
yielding to the pressure.
The Wine and Spirit Exchange at
Philadelphia, have issued a circular to
their friends saying that the Amend
ment must be killed in the Senate.
Shall the people of our Stale be told
that they will not be permitted to vote
on a question that BO greatly effects
their interests? We appeal to you
dear brothers to use your great in
fluence to defeat the wiles of these
devilish schemes, and by writing to
those Senators with whom y«u may
have influence, and by inducing Chris
tians of influence to write, by reading
this appeal in your Congregation and
exhorting all to earnest prayep und
work to insure success for the Amend
ment.

Four Boy* Killed by Ltiglilning.
LOU'SVILLE, APRIL 28 —Heavy rain,
hail, and lightning prevailed iu this city
at 1 o'clock. Four bovs, and a horse
dragging a wagon in which they were
riding, were killed in the West Eud by
lightniog. The accident occurred at
Twenty-sixth and Market, where the
boys were playing base ball. Their
ages ranged from twelve to fourteen.
The boys were pupils of the school,
and the disaster happened at reeess
Their namesare Lee Fleek, Joe Shultz,
Will Thalser aud Harry Soety. The
three first named died a few minutes
after being tawen to their boou s in the
neighborhood, the latter was burned
beyond recognition. Their game was
just concluded, and the bell summon
ing them to their school duties was
ringing, thereby causing the boys to l»e
in the same spot, where their coats and
hats had been placed before they began
the game. As the flash struck the earth
the boys were for a moment obscured
from sight, so vivid was the lightning.
When the few people in the neighbor
hood again looked toward ihe boys they
were all flat on the ground. wo gen
tlemen ran to the spot aud, to their hor
ror, discovered the four dead, with faces
upturned toward the sky from which
they had so recently received their last
summons. Two other boys stunned
lay near their companions. The gen
tlemen quickly procured water and put
out the fire in the boys' clothing aud
stamped out the flames from parts of
their garments which had been ren;
from the bodies by the lightning stroke
Vain efforts had been previously made
to revive those who appeared lifeless,
and four of whom had been recog ized
as positively dead. Physicians arrived
shortly after the accident, who after ex
amination found that four out of the
six had beeu instantly ki'led. The
lightning culminated immediately over
Soety, son of the teacher, to whose
class all the boys belonged. The spot
of earth which bears marks of the bolt
could be covered by a bushel measure.
The surface of the ground is but little
disturbed and resembles a hole which
might have been driven in with a crow
bar. On the ground two or three feet
from the spot from where the bult en
tered could be seen, when a reporter
visited the place, pieces of clothing,
parts of shirts, drawers, suspenders and
fragments of boots all burned aud black
ened by the electric fire, resembling a
of chopped up rugs baked ready for the
papermaker. Young Soety wa- worse
disfigured than any of the rest. His
clothes were literally burned from bis
body, and pieces of scorched clothing
were picked up on the spot where he
fell. His body was burned to a crisp
and blackened and scarred 'n a horrible
manner. A piece of his undershirt,
picked Uj by a reporter, looks like a rag
which had been burning on a stove and
suddenly extinguished by a dash of
water.

CoiiNinnpflon Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice, hay
ing had placed in his hands, by an Last India
mi>sionary the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and permanent cure for
Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh. Asthma and
all Throat and Lung ACWctions, also a positive
and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all
Nervous Complaints, after having tested it*
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, has fe'.t it his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows. Actuated bv this motive
and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will
send free of charge to all who desire it, this rec
ine, in German, French or English, with full
difcctioas for preparing and using. Sent by

years, wife of ex-Sheriff H. D Thompson.
The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis Roth, Prospect, Pa. For twenty-five
years she has besn identified with the phuwrit,
and church work. During part of the time she
was a teacher in the Academy at Zelienopte,
Pa. Her activity has been exemplary. Her
life was a life of deep-toned, fervent piety,not
flashy, not emotion*!, but the deepest
piety of a faith grounded on a clear appre
hension of the gospel plan of salvation. Many
were the virtues by which she endeared herself
to both young and old. Her quick sympathy
and tender-heartedness made he. a we (come
truest ip tjie place of distress and de oat on,
ner genial iuleligence, and sunny pleasantness
rendered her a desirable companion in the so. I
cial circle. In every relation of her lite she
has done her part well, and her dying was :
of that sort that shows the beauty of our holy re
ligiou. Many were the words of comfortable
admonition she spake. When about to be re
lived from a sitting posture she said: —
"Now I lay lav body down to sleep,
Peace shall be the pillow of my head,
His never slumbering eye shall keep
A constant watch around my bed."
The last words die was heard to utter were :
"And when these failiug lips grew dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When 1 hou shall in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.' 1
That prayer was answered as she fell asleep
in Jesps,
