SEVERAL matters, for want of space,
have to be omitted or cut down this
week.
THE Advance-Argus of Greenyille,
Pa, has recently been greatly improv
ed and is now one of the best papers
in Western Pennsylvania. Its editor,
Hon. James C. Brown, is one of the
clever and enterprising men of that
. enterprising plaee.
THE editor of the Eagle is mad be
cause be was not invited to the Con
gressional Conference in this district
last week. We regret this, as such an
occasion would be new to him and be
should have a chance of attending one.
However, such honors are not worth
crying about.
COALTOWN, is the name of the post
office at what is generally called Coal*
Title, this county. Being one Coal
ville in the State already that name
conld not be used for the postoffice
there. Would it not be better, there
fore, for all to agree to drop the ville
for the town, so that it may hereafter
be Coaltown all around, and thus pre
vent confusion in the names.
WHILX in Greeuville last week we
had the pleasure of seeing Mr. J. T.
Blair, the energetic Superintendent of
the S. & A. Railroad company, who
spoke of the speedy completion of the
Connecting Link to this place, provid
ing the proper encouragement was
given by our citizens living along its
route. Ilis desire is to have the Link
in running condition by July next.
IN our article of week before last, in
reply to an article of the Mercer Dis
patch, an error occurred in relation to
political events in the State of Indiana,
in the year 1876. General Harrison,
the Republican candidate for Governor
of that State that year, was defeated,
and not elected as we stated. We
stand corrected and thank the Dis
patch for calling oar attention to 4be
error.
TUK Annual Educational Conven
tion of North Western Pennsylvania
was held at Pine Grove, Mercer
county, on last Tuesday week. It
was largely attended and the proceed
ings quite interesting. Some of the
principal scholars and citizens of this
and neighboring counties participated.
Want of space prevents a more ex
tended notice of this interesting oc
casion.
REV. EPHRAIM OGDKN, of Middle,
sex township, this county, at a conferee
meeting held at Pine Grove, on the
30th ult., was nominated as the Prohi
bition candidate for Congress in this
district, Butler, Mercer and Crawford
counties. There appears to have been
somewhat of a contest for the nomina
tion, as the Piue Grove Telephone
says he was nominated "on the seventh
ballot/' over Rev. Barr, of Mercer
county. Rev. Ogden is a good man,
and his nomination will now be an ad
ditional argument for the Republican
nominee being placed in this county,
in order to keep him from running
away with all the votes in November.
THE managers of the Shenango and
Allegheny railroad and its branches
have but little trouble with the people
through whose lands any of their roads
pass. Tbev settle all cases of damages
as they arise, and in a fair and honora
ble spirit, avoiding litigation wberever
possible. Hence they have the good
will of the community. With some
other roads it appears to be different.
They would appear to want to worry
people over whose property they pass,
by compelling a resort to the law and
then by taking appeals, filing excep
tions to the reports of viewers, etc.
This is certainly not good policy or for
the interest of any new road being
made.
COURT convened on Monday,
Judge Bredin presiding and Associates
McCandless and Weir present. The
Grand Jury was organized and we un
derstand thirty-one bills of indictment
have been laid before it. Mr. John W.
Brown was appointed its Foreman.
It will likely be in session most of the
week, as cases of importance are to be
considered, and new oneß are almost
daily arising. Crime appears to be on
the increase to such an extent as to
cause all good citizens to look about
for the cause. Drunken men are to be
fouud laying arouud our town by
night and day and no citizen feels safe.
It may be when the railroad now
making here is completed this state of
affairs will cease, but as it is at present
it is a fearful cost and annoyance to
the public.
The Coal Mines ol Hie Northern
l>ar( ol Thin Couniy.
Haying been with the excursion
party that left Greenville last Wednes-
day, to visit the coal developments in ,
the southern end of Mercer and north
ern end of Butler county, we obtained
a pretty good idea of their extent and
working. Of those in Mercer county I
we need not speak at present, more
than to say that the coal there has
generally to be reached by a shaft,
and at the average depth of about
eighty feet. In Butler county the
coal can generally be obtained by the
drift entry. At Harrisville, Coal
town, and along the line of the rail,
road as far Hilliards, extensive mines
are now opened or being opened.
The shipments are now very large.
Long trains of cars pass out from these
mines every day, bearing the coal
tj Sharon, Youngstown, Cleveland
and other points, to be used in manu
facturing purposes. It is of the be: t
quality and is said to be preferred by
the mill owners to that of the coal
from any other quarter. Therefore It
ia probable that the mining of this
coal is soon to be a vast and profitable
business, an well as a source ol
wealth to the owners of tbfl land un
der which it exists. Cherry and
Washington townships for the present
contain most openings. On Judge
McJunkin's farm in Washington twp.
we found a new and extensive mine
from which a large amount i» now
being taken. Other drifts are either
being made or contemplated, and it
looks as if the day was not distant
when our coal would be in general
demand.
At Coaltown it is converted into
coke. The coke works there now em
brace fifty large furnaces. Car loads,
of what we were told was the best of
"coke, are daily run from that point.
These works alone are worth a visit
to see. From a drift in the hill the
coal is run to a hopper where it is
ground or smashed into small pieces,
from this machine it descends to a
washing machine, yhich cleanses it of
dirt, which is said to be necessary.
From this it is again carried up by
machinery to a receiving tank, and
from that dropped into cars and con
veyed to the ovens where it is coked.
All this process it goes through in a
short space of time. The finest coke
is now made at Coaltown. It is said
to be superior to the heretofore famous
Connellsville coke. This comes from
the superior quality of the coal found
at Coaltown. The prospects are that
the making of coke, at Coaltown and
other points in the northern end of
our county, will soon bo a very ex
tensive business.
Col. Bsiync Uplield.
On Saturday last the Republicans
of Allegheny City held their primaries,
for the purpose, among others, of
nominating a candidate for Congress
in that, the 23rd district. Hon.
Thomas M. Bayne was a candidate
for re-nomination. He is an able and
honest man and in and out of Congress
has fearlessly denounced Cameronism
and all the ways of machine bo.-sism.
For this he was bitterly opposed by
the Stalwarts and office holders. But
the people have upheld him. He has
been re-nominated, carrying more than
a hundred of the delegates to a con
vention composed of a hundred and
twenty-nine. His triumph is complete
and most significant. It reveals the
independent sentiment among the Re
publican masses and their determina
tion to overthrow Cameron and free
themselves of his dictatorship. It is a
warning that well may be heeded.
The people will not desert a faithful
public servant, and this victory of Col.
Bayne is alike creditable to his dis
trict and to himself.
8 A A Railroad—Connecting
Link.
Work has commenced on the
connecting link of the Shenango &
Allegheny railroad with Butler. This
is o most important improvement for
our county. Commencing at a point
on the present branch running down to
Coaltown, on the eastern side of
Slipperyrock twp., and thence running
down Slipperyrock creek until it reach
es the run emptying into the same on
the north line of Brady twp., general
ly known as the Wigton run, and
thence traversing said run eastward
through Brady and into Clay twp.,
thence to the Muddycreek, and thence
across to Dutch valley in Center twp.,
until it strikee what is known as
Stoney run, which it follows down to
the main branch of the Connoquenes
eing, which it then follows for about
four miles, until it reaches Butler.
It will be seen that it will open to
trade and travel, and be a convenience
to our citizens of Mercer, Marion,
Venango, Slipperyrock, Brady, Cherry,
Clay, Concord and Center twps,
when coming to this place. To those
living in Worth twp., it will also be a
more convenient way of reaching
Butler, as well as for those in the
north and western part of Oakland
twp.
The expected benefits of this line
are being duly appreciated by the
people of a'l the above districts We
understand that many through whose
land it passes freely grant the right of
way and are encouraging the enter
prise in every way they can. This is
right, for a more important road to
them could not be mai'e. Traversing
the banks of streams as it generally
will, it will do but little if any dam
age to the farms or the farmers. The
company making it are not rich, and if
any through whose lands it passes
have not already given the right of
way they should cheerfully do so
when called upon. Coal exists along
nearly the whole line of this link.
It is to be found on nearly every
piece of laud over .vbich it will puss
This coal will be brought into market
by the making of this road. This, with
other reasons, is why the rights of way
were granted, or should l)e if not yet
granted. Without this road the coal
in all those bills must lay uoderelop*

Ed and useless for years to comc.
With it made, the coal, timber, etc.,
w 11 scon become a source of profit to
t'.ie land owners. Consider.ng the
great importance of this enterprise to
our town and county, too much praise
cannot be given to the company
making it, and too much liberality
cannot be extended to it by all our
citizens.
Confircsi*! ■ii.il Conference.
The Republican conferees of th's
Congressional District, Crawford, Mu>
cer and Butler counties, assembled at
Greenville, Mercer Co, on last lues
diy week, for the purpose of settling
upon a caudidatc for the distnc'.
Hon. W. B. Roberts, the candidate
presented by Crawford county,
was represented by Messrs. A. 11.
Steele, J. J. Carter and A. J. Mc_
(Juiston, as aonfeFces. lion. b. Jl.
Miller, candidate presented by Mercer
county, was represented by Messrs.
J. J. Spearman, William Beatty and
Henry Hall. J. D. McJunkin, Esq ,
of this county, was represented, as
stated last week, by C. Walker, A
Craig and Dr. R. 11. Pillow.
The Conference was organized on
Tuesday evening with Mr. Spearman
as Chajrtpan and Messrs. Walker and
McQuistou as Secretaries. 4 ballot
was taken, resulting in three votes
for each candidate, when the confer
ence adjourned to the next morning,
Ou Wednesday morn
ing there were fyaUots taken,
as were also at a meeting Wednesday
evening. On Thursday morning the
balloting was resumed, but all with
the aaujerpsult, each candidate receiving
the vote of his own jioaferees and no
more. Sixteen ballots were taken in
all The conference adjourned on
Thursday to meet at Titusville, Craw-;
ford county, on September 8, being
Friday of this week-
What may be the result of this
contest we are unable to say. The
right of our county to the present
candidate, according to the rule of
rotation, as practiced so far in the dis
trict, was freely admitted by both the
other counties. But it was argued
that it was a bad rule and should
never hayc been adopted. To this
the conferees from this county replied
that if even bad it was now too !ate
to make any change in the rule,'
that there was but one term,"of two
years, left in the present district, and
it was now Butler county's time and
turn to receive the nominee. The
facts are as follows : The district was
fomed in 1873, to last for ten years,
under the law. The first nomination
was made in 1874, when Mercer
county obtained the candidate, J.
G. White. In 1876 Butler county
obtained the candidate, John M.
Thompson. In 1878 Crawford county
obtained the candidate, Samuel B.
Dick. That completed a circuit of
the district, each county having had a
candidate. Then commenced the sec
ond round, in 1880, and Mercer county
again obtained the candidate, in the
person of the present member, Hon.
S. H. Miller. This brings us to the
present time when Butler county,
according to all these precedents, is
now entitled to the candidate. It will
be seen that Mercer county has already
received four out of the ten years of
the district as it now stands: that
Butler has received two and Crawford
two years, making eight years in all.
If Mercer county should receive the
present nomination it will give her
six years out of ten. In justification of
her again claiming it, at present, it was
urged by her conferees that Mr. Miller
had made and efficient and working
member. This was freely admitted
we believe on all sides. But it was
replied by this county that it was now
our turn, according to all previous
nominations, and that we presented a
candidate, who, if nominated and
elected, would make just as active and
as useful a member as the present one :
that the solution of the present con
test was therefore to carry out the
practice so far acted upon : that the
probabilities were a new district would
be formed by the Legislature next
winter, in which all the present
three counties would not likely be
joined as they are at present ; that
each of the present counties might in
fact be placed, under the coming re
districting of the State, in a new dis
trict. And that from these considera
tions, flnd others, the present nom
inee should go to Butler county; but
if not to Butler that then Crawford's
right to the same would bo next best.
In behalf of Crawford county it was
urged that she was much the largest
in population, larger than Butler or
Mercer; that she, like Butler, had but
one term so far, and although it was,
by the rotation established, Butler's
turn now, yet it. should be given to
Crawford as the largest and mo9t im
portant county of the district. Other
reasons, of a party nature, were further
urged in behalf of Crawford county
receiving the present nominee. And
so this is about the shape in which
the matter rests at present. A nom
ination may be made at Titusville on
Friday, but we ttiink it doubtful.
Each county is anxious to secure the
candidate and each will have difficulty
in yielding. The claim of our county
is the best and we have hope that it
will yet be recognized. The meeting
at Greenville was a pleasant and
respectful one all around and we
have no doubt the same spirit will
continue to the end. In other dis
tricts of the State they have the sam>i
trouble in making nominations, and it
is a trouble that always will exist
where two or more counties are nee- j
essarily joined to form a district, and |
this more especially under the present,
mode of making district nominations, j
STATE POLITICS.
GENERAL BEAVER IN SOMERSET.
Somerset, I'a , Aug. 29 —With the
Democratic speeches of Black and
Africa last night and the Stalwart
speech of General Beaver to-night, ami
the Independent Republican speech of
Mr Stewart to-morrow night, Somer
set county finds itself honored by can
didates of all three tickets as the scene
of the formal opening of the campaign.
It is Court week, and the greatest
Court week of the year, and thecoui.tv
seat is crowded from day to day with
voters of all parties, curious to see
those who seek their suffages, and they
are more or less ready to give all sides
a fair hearing.
To-day it was General Beaver's turn, '
I and to meet bis appointment he had to i
come all the way from Allentowu in a
straight heat. A few hours rest, how
cyer, made him appear as fresh and
vigorous as ever when be faced a large
audieuce at the Court House to-night
Jt was jxn audience goodly in numbers
and general appearance,' ornamented
bv the presence of a iair representation
of the non-voting sex and enthused by
the music of a brass band. Many of
the old wheel-horses of Republicanism
in Somerset were in their places, but
the notable absence of General Koontz
forsbadowed an important defection
that has been feared ami that will
probably be more apparent to-morrow
evening.
A strong speech from United States
District-Attorney Stone paved the way
for Gcapral I3esypr ; He took the cue
of ignoring the Independents and ftred
nearly all of his shot into the old Demo
cratic camp.
Then General Beaver hobbled to the
front and was warmly received. Al
though be announced that his speech
was the formal opening of the fall cam
paign, it differed in no important re
spect from that delivered in the eastern
part of the State on several occasions
during the summer. The Independ
ents were not so much as named. He re
ferred always to fei? "competitor," not
to "competitors" for the G'overnorsnip.
; There were no personalities, and pleas
ant references was made to Pattison,
whom he designated as "an honest and
agreeable young gentleman who was
hardly enough ol a politigiau to kno\y
much about politics, and whose sucpe§§
was to be feared solely because of the
influence behind him. The people had
simply to consider the old issue be
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties, and if the Republican standard
should go down the pArty, and not theip
candidate, would suffer. Whoeyer car
rier this skirmish lipe will have the ad
vantage of position in 1884."
As a whole, the General's efforts
were temperate and persuasive, and
rpftde a good impression without awak
ing any great degrpp of enthusiasm.—
Philadelphia Press.
COL. STEWART IN SOMERSET.
SOMERSET, PA., August 30 —The
Independent Republican meeting to
night, in point of numbers, character
and enthiisiasp), by far excelled the
Democratic meeting of Monday night,
and that which General Beayer and
Colonel Stone addressed last night
'lhe Court House was filled to the
back of the gallery before the evening
train arrived, which brought a delega
tion of several hundred from Meyers
dale and vicinity, with two brass
bands. They filled aisles, crowded into
the space usually occupied by the bar,
sat upon the Secretaries' tybjeg and
stood up around the speakers. Jsaap
Kaufman, the wealthiest farmer in
Somerset county, a sturdy Pennsylva
nia Dutchman, well advanced in years,
was called to the chair, backed by an
array of Vice Presidents, including
none who were not substantial citizens
and long-time Republicans.
A prominent feature of the meeting
and the speeches was their unmistaka
ble Republicanism. Men who had
been prominent at every Republican
meeting in Somerset for years occupied
places on the platform or within the
bar. Among the Vice Presidents were
two ex-Associate Judges and two ex-
County Commissioners. The princi
ples and practices of the Democratic
party were denounced with muob more
vigor and effect than in the Beaver
meeting last night. If either of the
two wings of the Republican party are
seeking amicable relations with the
Democrats the speeches here did not
point to the Independents as the guilty
party.
DUFF INTRODUCED.
Colonel Duff was the first speaker in
troduced, and bis appearance aud ad
dress brought prolonged and frequent
applause.
STEWART, MUSIC AND A CROWD.
While Colonel Duff was speaking he
was twice interrupted, once by the ar
rival of about two hundred Independ
ent Republicans from Meyersdale,
headed by a band, and again by the
appearance of Colonel Stewart There
was a great outburst of applause as he
pushed through the crowd, and Colonel
Duff exclaimed: "I told you ho would
be here. Senator Stewart never dis
appoints the people." This applause
was repeated when the Senator took
the floor. He captured the audience
at once by a felicitous reference to his
regret that he had not had the pleasure
of appearing on the same platform with
General Beaver last night. The reason j
was that he had not been invited. On
the other hand General Beaver had in
his pocket a standing invitation from
him for a joint discussion of the issues
between them. Up to date that invi
tation has not been accepted, but it
was still open. For bis part, Colonel
Stewart said, he believed the best way
to secure an intelligent public judgment
was to have such a joint public discus
sion, not on free ships, or asto whether
New York capitalists shall be allowed
to buy Pennsylvania coal lands, which
he understood General Beaver discuss
ed last night, but on the real issues of
the campaign.
THE ISSUES AT STAKE.
He now presented these issues as he
understood them. The main question
for Republicans to consider is whether
it is not better to sacrifice a corrupt
and unprincipled organization than to
trample upon the principles of the
party at the behest of a self-appointed
dictator. The Independent Republi
cans arc not Independent of the party,
but independent of the organization in
the hands of Mr. Cameron. They
stand on their consciences to contest
the political supremacy of Cameron
and the personal advancement of Gen
eral Beaver.
Following, in the main, the line of
his Mechanicsburg speech, Colonel
Stewart then made a severe arraign
ment of the llarrisburg candidates, on
the ground that their nomination was j
die'ated by Cameron, and that the r
success, so far from giving assurance
of the reform of confessedly existing
evils, were calculated to perpetuate
those evils in defiance of the will of
the people. As to the llarrisburg
platform he said : "General lJeaver
stood on it when be accepted the nom- i
ination. I stand on it now. In two j
weeks he kicked that platform from un- !
der his feet and gave it the lie by a
public declaration that the civil service
was wisely administered. His only j
reliance for election is ou
TME CORRUPTION FUND,
wrested by so-called voluntary assess- j
ments from Federal office-holders, in ;
violation af the letter and spirit of that
platform. I say his only reliacgi, but
there is no possibility of his election,
even with that. If elected it will not
be by Republican votes, but by tho?e
of the Democratic contingent, and per
haps that is where these political as
sessments will come in."
Discussing the necessity lor the Inde
pendent movement, ho saia that the
plain truth was that the party organi
zation had ceased to be representative
in the popular sense; that organization
was the work of one man, and the
aptest illustration of its operation is
the fact that this man is the senior
gentjtgr from ]f bp
any other qualification for this high
position l>e»ides age and citizenship
the people of this State d >n't know
what it is. The sending of a Gr.mt
delegation to Chicago by Don Camer
on's order, when the people were over
whelmingly for R.lainp, WUS
illustration. General heaver was one
of those delegates, and if he hasu't his
brass medal on to-day it is because he
hasn't the courage to ask for his re
ward. It is waiting for him at Wash
ington, and on demaud will be sent to
him frpe of express ebargps. Still
ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION
was fouDd in his (Senator Stewart's)
own district. Two years ago when
Colonel Matthew S. Quay, Senator
Cameron's closest friend, had stepped
in to defeat the Republican
by handing over 500 votes to the op
position, Quay had actually written to
a prominent Democrat in Huntingdon
county asking him to take the field as
the only way of beating Stewart for
Senatpr, and }n' tjjis |euef tfie votes
of 500 Republicans of Franklin county
were placed at hia disposal. If any
body doubts this statement let him call
upon Henry J. McAteer, and see the
letter from Colonel Quay. Mr. Mc-
Ateer has it jn pis uoc'gev
Is it not high time to stand by the
old standard and rally the party in a
#ew organization f General Beaver
had said two weeks ago, at Bristol,
that he was ncyer in such an uncom
fortable position in his life; that he
would mortgage his farm to the ex
tent of |JQ,OOO to get out of it. by
doesp't Cooper take hip* at Lis word
and stop this assestqent business?
Who keeps Genoral Re&yer in his un
comfortable position ? The man who
put him there. General Beaver, when
be says he does not want the office,
forgets how hp
SOUGHT THE NOMINATION,
for this office before three successive
conventions, like the man in tlje .para?
ble who went down to gather the
fruits of his master's vineyard, who
was beaten and sent away empty. It
was only after be bad proven his
fidelity to Cameron at Chicago that
he was given the place he sought.
Reading from the printed report of
General Beaver's speech last night, the
paragraph expressing confidence in
the success of the Republican ticket,
and conuluding with the expression,
"But God help those who fall by the
wayside," Senator Stewart said if
that was an expression of sympathy for
such men as himself it attested General
Beaver's benevolence, humanity and
charity. If it was intended as a
threat it attested his base following of
the indecent behavior of bis master.
The irate Cameron at Philadelphia ex
claimed. "Defeat me and I will strike
down your tariff on the floor of the
Senate." The irate Beaver exclaims,
"God help those who fall by the way
tidy " Jn the presence of these two
incensed men let thpjr bondsmen
tremble; freemen do not quake.
In concluding, the speaker said the
outcome of the present political situa
tion was in the bauds of the people of
Pennsylvania. The responsibility lay
with them to place the Democrats In
power, to perpetuate the Cameron
despotism, or to join with the Inde
pendent Republicans in inaugurating
an era of high aims, pure methods and
results, giving prosperity and pride to
the State.
