The great strike of the Amalgama
ted Association of iron workers of Pittsburgh
and other cities and towns was ended in Pitts
burg last Wednesday by the representatives of
the Association agreeing that work should be
gin at the old rates. This srike has lasted for
nearly four months, and has been a very disas
trous one for the laboring men. For months
about 40,000 men, accoiding to the best esti
mate, have been idle in Pittsburgh. Many of
these persons have no connections with
labor organizations, and were idle not
from choice but of necessity, fn the Pitts
burgh district about S.OW skilled work
men belong to the Amalgamated Association
of iron and steel workers. Before the forma
tion of this Union there were different orders
of workmen, some regularly associated and
others without definite organization, that in an
independent way discussed and aimed to fix
the prices of labor. There were Puddlers or
Boilers organized as the Sons of Vulcan, Rol
lers and Heaters, Steel Melters, Sliinglers aud
Hammer-men, Ac. Some years ago, when the
Puddlers were on a strike for niue months in
that city, the mills did not stop. Manufactur
ers could procure puddled iron, or muck iron,
as it is called, from other quarter* ; and other
workmen, Boilers, 4c , having no connection
with the Pu ldlers' Union, took no part in the
strike In the organization of the Amalgama
ted Association all these workers were united,
and th J Committee of the Association arranges
with the Committee of the Manufacturers year
ly "wages saalos," to govern the price of skill
ed labor in all departments. The wages scales
adopted May 39, UMI, were to be in force from
Jane 1, IHBI, until June 1, 1882. The prices
for skilled labor were based on the Western
Iron Association's card-rates for bar-iron sold
for lJiceuU per pound, puddling or boiling
was to be $5.50 per ton; at 2.6 cents, $5.60 i>er
ton, &e ; at cents, sW j»er ton. This year the
Amalgamated Association demanded that a
turn suale should be adopted, and that at thii
eard-rato of 2,5 cents, boiling should be s»> per
ton. This demand the Manufacturers resisted,
and hence the whole force, both of boilers and
finishers, refused to work after June Ist.
This rendered necessary the closing of the
mills, and the discharge of all other employes.

the ruU« were revised, so that hereafter a
strike cauqot be inaugurated unless the resolu
tion receives a (iro-thirds vote of the member*.

A strong gas vein was struck at
the depth of I.tWU feet at the Philips Bros.'
well on the McJunkin farm, last Friday.
This gas comes from the top of the second sand
and although the flow of gas is very strong it is
thought that it can be made stronger by drill
ing into the sand a little farther. The well is
oniv about one and a half miles from the centre
of this town and is already producing enough
g.is to furnish the town with light, or a large
rolling mill with fuel. It will cost something,
perhnps two or three thousand dollars , to
bring it to town, but it would undoubtedly be a
puvim; investment. So cheap a fuel as natural
gas with our increased railroad facilities, should
surely make butler a desirable point for manu
factories of all kinds.

Mr. Chas. Harper who lives near
Ceutreville, this county, was arrested a few
days ago and taken to New Castle on a charge
of' horse stealing preferred by John Cum
mings of Springfield twp., Mercer Co. Harper
had a hearing and w*s discharged. Curn
mings went to Mercer to secure the arrest of
another alleged horse thief, but while there it
was discovered that he was demented and he
was enticed into the jail and locked up. The
Mercer Rrpublican gives the following ac
count of the matter: "A rather curious case
was developed last week in Springfield town
ship. A young man, a resident of that town
ship, named John Cummings became imbued
with the idea that he was on the track of two
horse thieves. On Friday he went to New
Castle to pursue this business. One of the
Wallaces of that town had lost a horse some
two years ago. The would-be detective im
pressed him with the idea that the thiel was a
man named Harper, living at Centrevillc. A
warrant was procured and placed in Sberifl
Richardson's hands, and he and the detective
proceeded to Ceutreville and arrested the sup
posed thief and lodged him in the Lawrence
county jail. Cuminines then left for home,
and on Monday came to Mercer to secure au
other man who had stolen a horse in Ohio, and
for the arrest of whom he was to receive five
hund.ed dollars. Constable Hughes' services
were secured and were to be forthcoming when
the guilty party was discovered. It was at
once discovered that Mr. Cummings was labor
ing under a delusion. He was told that his
man was then in jail. Upon proceeding to the
jail and being divested of a razor found in his
possession he was told to identify his man.
A number of the prisoners were successively
identified as the Ohio thief. The friends of the
deluded man desired his confinement until he
would become more reasonable. This ruse to
get him in jail was planned to avoid any re
sistance. He was kept in confinement until
Tuesday when his friends took chartse of Itiin.
Mr. Harper who was lodged in the New Castle
jail is a respectable and law abiding citizen.
A hearing was set for Wednesday in his cate
when he was doubtless discharged." The New
Castle Nti M iu giving an account of the case
states that while Harper was in ja'l there,
"David Richel, of near Harlansburg, with a
couple of friemls, one nearly related to Harper,
called upon Alderman Bowman and related
that they were positive Harper was demented ;
that his mother and sister were nearly crazed
with anxiety and grief, they fearing that
Charley had met with some accident or !iad
committed suicide They also stated that he
had quite recently taken his own horse and
buggy, driven away and left them with a
farmer, without saying a word about his inten
tiono or the disposition of the property," and
also that Cummings spates that there is a band
of counterfeiters in the vicinity of Ceutreville
that he intend* to ferret out.

The Forthcoming History of
Butler County.
The publishers of this volume in
which so much interest is centered
evince a laudable zeal and energy in
the manner in which they are compil
ing the work. They have an efficient and
experienced corps of writers who
may be found in almost any portion of
the county interviewing the old resi
dents, examining old documents and
newspaper files, and from the yery
thorough manner in which the work is
being done, only oae result is to be
looked for a complete and exhaustive
history as near perfect as can be made
at this time. Perhaps the most valua
ble and interesting portion of the his
tory will be that devoted the portraits
and biographies of those most lartfly
identified with the county's growth
and development, and from the interest
that is being taken in this part of the
work by our best citizens we expect it
to be as complete as the historical
portion. No more fitting acknowledg
ment could be made to those who may
be appropriately called the "Founders
of the County" for the hardships and
privations they passed through in the
eatiy days, than in giving their life
history supplemented by a portrait.
We sincerely hope that these men will
have full justice done them. Already a
large number have been assigned
places in the work, among the num
ber we may mention the names of
Judge John Bredin, Judge Marshall,
Gen. Purviance, Wm. Campbell,
Peter Duffy, Capt. William Walker,
Samuel O. Purvis, Jonathan Walker,
Patrick Graham. In the northern
portion ot the county there are many
equally deserving, and we hope to
see their biographies and portraits
associated with those already mention
ed The fact must be borne in mind
that the history of Butler county
will not be re-written in the life time
of anyone now living, and that what
ever is neglected will become a source
of regret in after years. Another
feature we wish to allude to, and that is
the embellishments. It is highly im
; portant that the work should be well
i illustrated, in no way can a finer ex
! hibit be made, of our enterprise and
j wealth, than the representation of our
i homes and farms. The artist, Mr. F.
iM. Gilbert, is busily engaged in
1 making sketches of many of the rep
resentative places of the county, and
from the work which has been shown us
we can assert positively that the pic
torial portion will be par-excellence—
We shall take occasion to allude to
! this part of the work again, and wo
' advise those who may be invited to be
represented in this departmennt to give
j the matter favorable consideration

pair of very fine mules on the grounds.
The above are only in part the stock of
horses on tne grounds, but all that could be
gathered up in a cursory visit. The difficulty
tc get all was that a great many of the stalls
were locked, and others the owners or keepers
were away in the crowd, and no one could give
information.
CATTLE.
The display of cattle was not so large as at
some former Fairs, but still there was some of
all kinds, among others we noticed a herd own
ed by S. W. Crawford, of Jefferson township,
and by AlonzoMcCandless, Franklin township.
Our space will not permit us to give the var
ious breeds and exhibitors, as when we called
at the stalls the owners were all lookiug at the
races.
SHEEP.
This department was pretty well filled with a
many different varieties, Merinoes, Span
ish, American breds. Among others, John S.
Campbell and R. D. Stevenson had some fine
Oxfo.tl ewes, rams and lambs. There were all
breeds and grades, Leicester, Cotswald, South
down and all other kinds.
HOOS.
The display of hogs was good. Yorkshire,
Berkshire. Poland China, and a dozen other
kinds. We noticed a large Yorkshire sow
with a dozen as pretty little "roasters" as
could be set on a dinner table. Phil Crouse,
Butler, had a splended Berkshire sow with a
liiter of pigs.
VEGETABLES.
The vegetable display was not as large as
this season would warrant, yet there were fine
exhibitions of all kinds, such as beets, cabbage,
parsnips, pumpkins, squashes, potatoes, grains,
seeds, &c.
KAKMING MACHINERY AC.
The display was good, yet not unusually
large.
C ASTINGS AC.
Bielil Bros., of this place, had latest and
best improvements in farming machinery. J.
G. ifcWm. Campbell had quite a number of
farming utensils, as well as stoves and other
castings; one, a cooking stove, cast under the
supervision of Phil Crouse, deserves a special
mention for its beauty and polish.
KLOKAL HALL.
Under the supervision of Mujor Anderson,
was the general attraction for the ladies. The
display of flowers, plants, garden and house,
needle work, pictures, crayons, millinery goods,
cabinet ware and harness was very fine. There
were also breads and cakes of various kinds,
pies, jellies, canned t'ruils, honey, and a great
manv things too tedious to mention. The
Hall was beautiiully festooned. In this de
partment we noticed a fig tree with five figs on
it, and two cotton plants, one with nine balls
and the other with five on. All these were
raised in Butler by Mrs. Anderson.
EATING HOUSES.
There were a number of refreshment stands,
but the general one was under the supervision
of John M. Smith and Mrs. Kmma Sykex.
There could be obtained all that was wanted to
allay the thirst or the cravings of the inner
man; meals, lunches, soft drinks, melons or
anything in the eating line.
GENERAL.
The grand cavalcade of stock on Wednesday
afternoon and Thursday, was the most interest
ing incident of the Fair. The baking of pan
cakes for miscellaneous dirtribution, by Miss
Smith out of Al Keiber's pancake flour, was
another. Also the display of Marvin & Co.s'
bread and crackers. The races attracted gen
eral attention. There are many things, of
course, our space will not permit mention. A
column of incidents and fun could be collected,
but time and the crowd prevented.
We clip tbe following from the
Pittsburgh Comercial Qazelte of a
recent date.
Merit Rewarded.
The Fairbanks Scale Co. are now
completing a Government order for
(>,OOO scales for the use of the Post
office Department, which is one of the
largest orders ever given by the Gov
ernment for scales. It is a victory
for the Fairbanks Company that few
manufactures in that line of goods can
boast of, and one that the Fairbanks
Co. might be proud of. The precis
ion with which their scales weigh
has been a matter of comment for
years, and that they should receive
such a contract from the Government
preference to other competitors has no
significance other than that they have
tbe best scale.
Fairbanks have an exhibit in the
Exposition that is well worth an exam
ination. A handsome scale is adjusted
in the entrance, where thousands of
I people are weighed every day.
When visiting the Exposition get
i weighed on the Fairbanks scale. The
I branch house in this city is at 48
Wood street.
PRIXCIPI.ES AXD PURSES.
Mr. Jay Ifnbbeir* Second De
mand on the Clerks and
Scrubbing-Woiueu.
i From Harj>er's Weekly.]
Mr J. Hubbell's committee has re
sumed the farce of "voluntary coutri
; butious."' Having requested the clerks
| in the public service to pay two per
i cent, of their salaries and to say that
1 it was a free gift, and many of the
clerks having declined to give
to Mr. Hubbell the irresponsible dis
position of the money which their
families required, that gentleman now
informs them that he has "noted with
surprise" their failure to respond to
the demand, and that he hopes that
they will voluntarily send two per
cent, immediately. Meanwhile bis
agents, armed with complete lists of
the clerks in the various Departments,
and with the authority of the heads of
bureaus, summon every clerk whose
name is marked upon their lists as de
linquent to pay up; and obedience or
refusal is marked accordingly. While
this inquisition is making and their
reluctant money is extorted through
terror by the official pickpockets some
victim in the office should be delegated
to read aloud to the other clerks, like a
monk in the refactory to his fellows,
the words of Secretary Folger to Mr.
A. Thomas: "I would have him think
and feel and do as if in the religious
meeting-house of his choice the preach
er should lay before him the needs of
some cause."
Mr. Hubbell's circular says that his
committee "cannot hope to succeed in
the pending struggle if those most di
rectly benefited by success are unwill
ing or neglect" to send him money.
He means that it is office-holders who
are directly benefited by the success of
the party. But if this is true of a
messenger-boy at S6OO a year and a
cleik at $1,200, it is equally true of
foreign Ministers at $12,000 or $17,-
500. Does Mr. Hubbell assess them
two per cent. ? Has he assessed Mr.
Lowell, Mr. Morton or Mr. Astor ?
Has he demanded a .specfie sum of
money of Mr. Robertson or of Mr. Pear-;
son ? Fortunately the searching dis-,
cussions of the summer have fully ex
posed the contemptible trick of "vol
untary" contributions, and the extor
tions with which Mr. Jay A. Hubbell's
name will be always indentified are now
perfectly well known to the country.
What does Mr. Hubbell mean by say
ing that party success cannot be ex
pected unless the office-holders will
furnish the mouey ? There was a time
when the Republican party succeeded,
without any office-holder to assess, in
carrying the election against a party
which had all the offices and assessed
all the office-holders. The doctrine
then was that the people as well as
the office-holders were interested in
Republican success.
If that is changed—if, as Mr. Hub
bell suggests, it is the office-holders
who are mainly interested in that
success—why should the country help
to keep them in place ? On the con
trary, why should not the country
feel it a duty to put out of office those
who raise an enormous j fund to keep
themselves in ? An enormous election
fund justly alarms every honest voter,
because it is not necessary and means
a dishonest election. Mr. Hubbell's
circular substantially announces that
the Republican party depends for suc
cess not upon its principles but its
purse. If this was true it would lie
the most conclusive possible argument
against the party, and shows that
every intelligent and patriotic voter
should oppose it. But it is not true.
Mr. Hubbell does not mean what he
virtually says. He means only
that if the messenger-boy or the clerk
does not promptly pay up he will
probably lose his place. The Phila
delphia Press truly says: "A genuine
service will be done the hopeful Re
publican leaders on the Congressional
Committee if their collectors are kicked
out of the Departments and the scandal
ceases iu the land."
A Card to all Producers ol
Wheat.
Farmers who have wheat for sale
will please bear in mind, that we re
quire large quantities of wheat, and
are desirous of buying all the home
wheat that is available. You will
therefore never find us over-stocked or
not anxious to buy ; and we will be
sides guarantee every week and every
day the highest market price for good
wheat. H. JULIUS KLINGLER,
