WILLIAMSON BARTLEY, ESQ , of Penn
township, was appointed Foreman of
the Grand Jury, now in session.
AN old friend encloses us another
Years' subscription and says : "please
send CITIZEN another year—can't do
without it."
A. L. CRATG, ESQ , late County
Treasurer, we are pleased to learn, has
been appointed to a position in the de
partment of the Secretary of the Inte
rior at Washington city.
MB. HARVEY J. MITCHELL, late
Cashier of the Harmony National
Bank, thia county, has been appointed
to a position in the Internal Revenue
office, under Collector Jackson, at Alle
gheny city.
THK Printer's Circular, of Phila
delphia, a standard work with the pro
fession, strongly endorses Mr. Ziegler
of this county, for Speaker of the next
House of Representatives at Harris
burg. We do not know the prospects
of "Uncle Jacob," but if we judge by
the number of favorable notices he is
receiving, from all sides and parties,
they ought to be pretty good.
Congress.
Congress convened on Monday noon
last. President Arthur's Message was
received and read. We have not had
time to review it, but notice that
censures "political assessments." This
is encouraging, coming from President
Arthur, but with how much sincerity
we can only conjecture. He also, ap
parentlv, favors "Civil Service Re
form," and, taken altogether, it
as if the results of the late election;
had made a good impression on the
President.
Court.
Court, regular December term, con
vened on Monday morning. The Grand
Jury is the only jury summoned foi
this week, and it was duly charged bj
Judge McJnnkin, who is presiding
and is now engaged on bills laid be
fore it. Next week the criminal cases
will be taken up. The most important
case for trial will bo that of the Swede
Jansen, charged with the killiing oi
John W. Fleming. A number of oth
er criminal cases will also be tried.
When not engaged with the findings
of the Grand Jury this week, the
Court is hearing petitions, motions
etc. An Argument list has also been
made out, the caae3 upon which it is
expected will be argued during the
week. Judges Weir and McCandless
fere at their posts upon the Bench.
The History of Butler Counfy.
Messrs. Waterman, Watkins & Co.,
who have been employed for the paet
year or more in gathering the materials
for a history of our county, have about
completed their labors. They had a
large force of men employed on the
book for over 13 months. Important
portions have been submitted to com.
petent committees and approved. A
certificate as to the correctness of one
of our townships will be seen in
another place.
The manuscript has now all been senj
to Chicago for printing, and the book
will be ready in a short time, notice of
which will be given its patrons.
The gentlemen engaged on the
history of our county left last week for
Armstrong, Bedford, Somerset and
other counties of Western Pennsylva
nia, of which they intend getting up
histories. Mr. Matthews, the general
historian of the company, is a gentle
man well qualified for his task and
made many friends while in this place.
Mr. Gilbert, the artist of the company,
is also highly commended for the ac
curacy of his representations of resi
dences, etc. On the whole we believe
the "History of Butler county" will
give great satisfaction to the citizens of
th.j county. To the descendants of the
earlier pioneers and settlers of the
county it will be a book of special und
peculiar interest.
Blaine's View.
"The defeat is not so signal as that
of 1874, and like ttat, can be made to
result in good to the party. The Dem
ocratic party suffered overwhelming
defeat in 1840, but carried the election
of 1844. The Republican party was
practically beaten in several of the
most important Northern States in
1862, but Abraham Lincoln carried all
except one or two in 1864. Victory
may be achieved in 1884 by presenting
as a candidate for the Presidency a
man upon whom both factions can
unite, who has the confidence of the
country. To the accomplishment of
that result his influence as a private
citizen will ba exerted. lie believes
thit Republican success in 1884 is es
sential to the welfare of the country."
Must Si aml Aside,
The recent election shows the fol
ly of trying to regain Republican as
cendancy tinder the Stalwart leaders in
Pennsylvania and New York, and
these lenders will be made to stand
aside, (live the Republican party a
chance to be true to itself; to be
liberal toward all honest differences of
opinion; to be tree from all tyranny of
ring politicians; to be earnest in the
promotion of sound principles of gov
ernment, and to take its place in rep
resenting the best thought and high
est aims of the people,—permit
these things to be, and the Republican
party will speedily assert its unity and
its power.— Doylettovon Intel., (Stal

"Margins" or "Options/'
The Rev. William McKibbin, of
Pittsburgh, preached a Thanksgiving
sermon last Thursday in the Second
Presbyterian church of that city, in
which he referred to the "greed for
train in some of its local aspects, ' and
From which the following is an extract
that may be of local interest:
RAPID DEVELOPMENT.
Such hat* been the immense develop
ment of the material resources of the
country through the multiplication of
railroads, telegraphs, and the many ap
pliances of modern invention and dis
covery, that the American mind has
been set on fire with the hope of mak
ing rapid accumulations of wealth, and
to such extent does this prevail that the
slower, safer and more morally invig
orating methods, which to the end of
time must constitute the basis of all
true commercial prosperity, have fuilen
into and in their place have
come methods which will neither stand
the test of prudence or morality. To
facilitate this mad thirst for gold, and
what gold will purchase, there has
crown up a system of business devices
called "margins" or "options which
under the forms of legitimate trade,
make gambling a recognized and re
spectable branch of commercial life.
Almost every line of legitimate busi
ness pursuit is encircled by this myriad
armed devil fish, which threatens to
gnck all the life and principle out of
bnsiness affairs. .
Such are the proportions which it
has assumed, such the respectability
which it has attained, that it walks
with unabashed countenance in the
highest circles of society, and pollutes
even the communion table with its
presence. As a dark and threatening
cloud it canopies all life, and unless dis
sipated by the force of public sentiment
and penal law, carries in its bosom the
destruction of the best elements of our
National life _ ,
Without entering into a detailed de
scription of these methods, let me Bay
Grst that any business transaction in
which there is no actual transfer of the
commodity bought and sold is an ille
gitimate and demoralizing one; second
ly that where every dollar gained in a
transaction by one party is lost by
Borne other, and where such transactions
are entered into with such an under
standing, it is as purely a gambling
transaction as the transfer of moneys
over the gaming table; thirdly, that
when such transactions are made upon
the rise and fall in the price of an
article, the fluctuation in which price
is artificially produced, such transac
tions have the worst features of gaming,
and in addition thereto unsettle values,
destroy commercial credit, and pave
the way for financial panics which
affect all classes of the community; and
I further say that the broker who buys
and sells on margins is no better than
the keeper of a gambling saloon, who
provides the means for gambling by
others, and that he is a public enemy,
and ought to be treated as such. And
I say further still that banking insti
tutions which knowingly and of pur
pose furnish the means for this nefari
ous warfare upon the best interests of
society, are, in the sight of God, and
ought to be in sight of men, sharers in
its guilt and its profits alike.
CLASSED WITH GAMBLERS.
And with regard to those who by
artificial and illegitimate means, "bull"
or "bear" the prices of a commodity
with a view to win the money of other
dealers, I say that they are to be class
ed in the category of the common
gambler who loads his dice, packs his
deck of cards or by other devices
swindles his opponent.
Another Cremation.
On Saturday last, Mr. W. H. Devore,
undertaker of Pittsburgh, visited
Washington, and made arrangements
with Messrs. Harding and LeMoyne,
for the cremation of the body of Dr. L.
Ehrhart, who died in Allegheny city,
on the 24th instant. The Doctor came
to this country shortly after the failure
of the Revolution of '4B in Germany,
and opened an office for the practice of
medicine in Allegheny City some time
in the winter of 1849. He gained a
large reputation aa a Physician, and
no man stood higher for personal in
tegrity, purity of characater and phi
lanthropic principles than Dr. Ehrhart.
He was in his 15th year when he
died.
Before Dr. LeMoyne put the crema
tion theories into practice in this coun
try Dr. Ehrhart believed in an argued
in favor of that system of disposing of
the dead bodies of human beings. He
afterwards became an enthusiastic ad
vocate of the practice, and, as a con
sistent man, maintained that a phy
sician should put into practice that
which he recommended to be far the
public good. To show his sincerity in
the matter, be sometime ago entered
into an agreement with his wife in
which it was stipulated that whoever
died first, the surviving partner should
personally see that the remains of the
deceased husband or wife should be
burned in Dr. LeMoyne's furnace.
This contract waa further fortified by a
clause in Dr. Ehrhart's will, and it is
understood that his widow has indi
cated her desire to have her body treat
ed in a similar manner when she dies.
The fires were lighted in the crema
tory on Sunday, and on Monday morn
ing his remains arrived by rail and
were at once taken to the building on
the hill and placed in the furnace.
This makes the fifteenth body cremat
ed in the furnace built by the late Dr.
Le Moyne, as follows :

I KA VVE'S FATAL SHOT.
Tragic Eudlng ol the Play ol
"»1 Slocum" in Clncinuail.
AStarllinß Scene on the Stage—
The Apple and Mirror ol
Death.
CINCINNATI, NOV. 30. —This after
noon, at the Coliseum, a new cisy
Utile theatre over the Rhine, opeued
only a fortnight ago, Frank Frayne
md company were playing "Si Slo
cum." The theatre was full. All the
sitting and standing room was taken
and the audience became wonderfully
demonstrative. The play bad proceed
ed to the eud of the fourth act. Frayne
personated Si Slocum and Miss Annie
Von Behren took the role of Ruth Slo
cum, "Si SlocumV' wife. Just at
this point, The Villian required Si
Slocum to shoot an apple off his wife's
head, und remarked, "it must be with
the backward shot." The arrange
ments were made, the rifle cracked and
Ruth Slocum fell to the floor, without
uttering an audible sound, irayne
turned almost with the flash of his gun
and rushed toward the prostrate girl,
aud, swooning, fell by her side, with
an arm across her body. The curtain
dropped, and the audience, who saw
no blood, heard no cry and therefore
imagined it was a new turn in the play,
were not aware of the situation.
DYING WITHOUT A MOAN.
Behind the scenes the girl was taken
to her room and Frayne was carried to
his. Surgical aid was called in, but in
fifteen minutes the girl was dead. She
never uttered a word or a moan be
tween the time she was struck and
when life went out Her body still
lies at the theatre. Frayne's wife, who
used to do this act, is dead, and Miss
Von Behren has filled the part for two
seasons. The ball took effect on the
hair-line, a couple of inches above the
left eye and near the middle of the fore
head. The rifle used was a breech
loader, Stevens' make, of twenty-two
calibre. It had been in use six years.
Just as Frayne pulled the trigger he
felt the catch on the snap, which holds
the barrel down at the breach, give
way. The cartridge was blown partly
or wholly out, and the flame of the
powder from the breach burned Frayne's
shirt collar. The distance over which
he shot was thirty feet. On the girls
head was a hat on which the apple was
placed. The bottom of the apple was
four inches above the head. Frayne
says it was an entirely safe shot. for
any ordinarily good rifleman. He Bays
the accident could not have been possi
ble under any other circumstances than
the giving way of the catch spring at
the breech.
THE ACTOR'S GRIEF.
Frayne himself was immediately ar
rested. At the police station, where
he was locked up, the question was put
by the officer: "What charge shall we
enter against him V He spoke up:
"Oh. put it as bad as you please—-
make it the worst you can." He is
broken down with uncontrolable grief,
and desires to be kept in the station
house. All who have seen him pity
him. After the tragedy the scene be
hind the curtains at the little theatre
baffled description. The paleness of
death was pictured on every face, but
the grief on the stage was silent.
Frayne himself, in the tenderest tones
of which be was master, besought the
girl to speak, but she lav unconscious
to the last, only now and then gasping.
The performers rushed to their rooms
after the last scene of all and gave
vent to uncontrolable grief. There is
a universal disposition to condemn the
practice of using dangerous shooting of
this style on the stage. People say
that though the marksman may be de
luded upon for accuracy, which many
questions, this oaso shows tfoat the gun
may not always be reliable.
Frayne was engaged to marry Miss
Yan Behren. who was a Brooklyn, N.
y., girl. He was released to-night on
$3,000 bait. He he will never
fire another shot. j
The performance in which Frank I.
Frayne shot Miss Von Behren last
nigfat in Cincinnati was known as the
mirror-shot. It has been performed for
years by Frayne with suceaaa 4-S
ordinarily practiced, the woman was
stationed on one side of the stage near
the wings, and Frayne stood on the
opposite side, as far a way fron) her as
the wings would permit. Prom at)
iron frame, Bix feet and a half high,
was suspended a mirror about sixteen
inches long and a foot wide, in such a
way as to reflect the entiFe slage.
Frayne etationed himself before this
mirror with his back to the woman,
upon whose head he kad placed an apr
pie or some other small object. Frayne
raised his rifle over his shoulder, with
the but of the gun in front and the
barrel extending behind him. He took
aim ai the apple upoq the wow&fl' B
head by looking in the mirror in front
of him. Upon the barrel of the rifle
was affixed a large globe sight to render
the aim more effective. The shot was
fired wblle tbe roan stood with his
back to the woman, she facing the
muzzle of the rifle and he taking aim
by the reflection of the mirror.
Baby Elephant.
Barnum is overjoyed with his ac
quisition—the baby elephant—and de
clares $300,000 could not buy it. He
offers $52,000 for an insurance of the
life of the infant for 52 weeks, Surely,
if he knew the full value of Peruna
and Manalin, he would do no such fool
ish thing, as they are the most
successful protective medicines
that have ever been intro
duced to the human family. No one
can take any disease while taking Pe
runa before each meal, and keeping the
bowels regular with Manalin. .Ask

Accident.
Mr. Isaac Moore of Muddycreek
township, this county, met with a very
severe accident in Portersville on the
2'.)th Nov. ult. He was in the village
and left the store of Mr. Humphry,
at the south end of the same, for home
in a buggy, driving a rather spirit
ed young horse. At the north end of
the village and when about opposite
the Post Office, or Mr. Newton's, the
horse ran away and Mr. Moore was
violently thrown from the buggy to
the ground, striking upon his face and
receiving tevere cuts and bruises. Be
ing an elderly man, now 77 years of
age, the shock and injuries were so
great that fears were entertained for
a while that he could not recover; but
we are glad to learn that he may sur
vive them. Mr. Moore is one of the
oldest citizens of the county, and a
man much respected by his neighbors
and he has their sympathy as well as <
that of all who knew him.
DYNAMITE.
A Store Blown to Pieces Near
ElizHbelb, Ph.— Two Per
moiim Killed.
About a quarter of a mile below the
coal mines of Gumbert and Huey, on
the MonoDgabela river, is the borne of
ll ale Forsythe, a miner employed in
t'ue works of the above mentioned firm.
Here Forsythe has lived for some
time with his wife and three children.
About two weeks ago some miners
jmployed at Walton's mines came to
risit Forsythe, and were at his house
i day or two. During their stay they
proposed to Forsythe that they should
50 fishing. They did not care about the
Did, slow method of capturing one fish
it a time, with hook and line, but told
Forsythe they knew of a much better
plan, which was, to use dynamite.
The miners had some of the explosive
material with them, and they went to
Lhe river and used it quite successful
ly,killing about five hundred pounds
of fish. The visiting miners went
home and Forsythe determined to do
some fishing on his own account with
the new bait. On Friday morning he
went to the quarry of Mr. Fleming, on
Lhe Youghiogheny river, and asked if
be could spare some dynamite. Flem
ing wanted to know what it was to be
used for and Forsythe said ho wanted
to blast some rocks near his house.
Fleming then agreed to let Forsythe
have four sticks of dynamite, weigh
ing in all about a pound.
He then told him that the stuff was
frozen and was useless in that condi
tion. He explained to Forsythe that
if the sticks of dynamite were placed
near a fire they would thaw out acd
be ready for use. About half-past five
o'clock he went home and told his fam
ily about the dynamite, but none of
them were alarmed, as they, too, were
ignorant of its qualities. Forsythe
took the sticks of dynamite from his
pocket and placed them in the oven of
the kitchen stove. He then went off to
the coal works where he was a quarter
of an hour later when be heard a loud
report, and in a few minutes he was
told that there had been an explosion
at his bouse and all of his family had
been killed.
After Forsytbe left the house his
wife and children sat down to supper
at a table near the stove where the j
dynamite was. While the children
were laughing about some joke, there
was a frightful noise, the stove was
blown into tiny fragments, the entire
end of the house, which is a two-story
frame building, was wrecked, and the
mother and her little ones were hurled
in different directions and were cut by
flying pieces of iron and glass, or vio
lently thrown against the wall.
Mrs. Forsythe was cut and gashed
in a most frightful manner. She had
been sitting close to the stove and the
pieces of iron struck her in over thirty
places giving her the appearance of a
person who had been
RIDDLED WITH BUCKSHOT
She cannot possibly recover. Char
ley Forsythe, the youngest of the chil
dren and about five years old, was ter
ribly bruised and cut, and died not long
after the accident ocourred. Robert
Forsythe, seven years old, was cut
about the head and body. His inju
ries are serious, but he will not die.
Wille, the oldest of the boys, escaped
with slight cuts on his feet. Poor
Forsytbe is almost crazy about the af
fair, and constantly exclaims that he
is to blame for the disaster. He want
ed to commit suicide, but was prevent
ed. The man in reality does not seem
to have known what was liable to hap
pen, and of course could not be blamed-
Mrs. Forsythe was a daughter of Mr.
Huey, one of the firm for whom For
sythe worked. The coroner has been
notified of the boys death.
Late* info»matioQ frpm the sceqe of
the accident is to tho effect that the
oldest boy, aged eight years, had just
arisen to get a drink, and was not
more than two feet from the stove and
facing it nyheß tlje incident occurred.
The mother was seated with het ba c k
toward the stove and the two younger
boys by her side. The boy near the
stove received the full force of the ex
plosion, wki c b yya ß The boy
standing near the stove was thrown a
distance of twenty feet and was found
in a care in the yard. He was horri-
JjJy ipangled and died from the •effects
of bis injures tvfQ IjoHrp after
the occurrence. The entire pqrtiqn pf
his body was opened as though the
flesh had been cut away with a knife
ejfposipg the entrails. Both arnja
were twisted from their sockets, and
one leg was almost severed at the knee.
fQrsytbe was in a swoon for several
hours after the accident.

rule, m&chir.e methods, tyrannical,
domineering politicians, PPrruptiOQ
funds, forgery conventions, gag laws
and unit rules, will not be tolerated in
the land were all men are created free

Waut Stricter flftirriage Laws.
The New Castle district conference
of ministers of the M. E. church was
held at Wilmington last and
among other topics discussed the laity
of marriage laws of this State. On
this subject tho conference adopted the
following resolutions :
WHEREAS, The present marriage
laws of the Slate of Pennsylvania are
inefficient in preventing clandestine
marriages, and securing an accurate
record of marriages, and
WHEREAS, The ministry are liable
to become the victims of deception and
fraud in solemnizing matrimony, and of
prosecution by malicious persons, there
fore,
Reaolved , That we, the members of
the New Castle district oonferenoe,
petition the Legislature of this State to
enact marriago laws similar to those of
Ohio, or other laws that will accom
plish the same end.
That old established remedy, Downs'
Elixer, still more than holds its own
in the public estimation, despite sharp
and active competition. It is a "home
remedy," and in this locality needs no
words of praise from us, so well and
favorably known is it. It is the stand
ard remedy for coughs, colds and all
throat troubles, with great numbers of
our people, and their continned use
and unsolicited recommendation of it
speaks volumes in its favor.—Bur

Quarreling over a Turkey,
READING, November 28.
A distressing affair occurred to-day
between two farmers near the Mount
Penn furnaces, in Cumru township,
about four miles from here. John P.
Schwartz and A. M. Fulton are broth
er-in-law and occupy adjoining farms.
Heretofore the most amicable relations
have existed between the members of
the two families. This morning the
turkeys on the two farms flocked to
gether. Fulton permitted Schwartf
to take seven away, 'which he said
was one more than he was entitled to.
Schwartz returned to claim a gobbler
which he said belonged to him, when,
it is alleged, Fulton procured his gun
and threatened to shoot Schwartz if he
would take away the turkey. Hot
words followed and during the quar
rel Fulton, it is said, struck Schwartz
with the butt end of the gun on the
temple, felling him. The physician
Bays that the injury is a Berious one
and inflammation of the brain may set
in and terminate fatally.—Philadel
phia Times.
Tlie Lambs Are Sheared !
The work of shearing the lambs in
grain, oil and stocks, having been com->
pleted, the shearing gamblers are al
lowing things to quiet down again.
It is now announced that the oil
panic is over ; that the stock panic Is
over ; that the railway war is over;
that the iron and steel establishments
have decided to go on in about the old
wav, and the lambs have been given a
breathing spell for repairs, preparatory
to the next shearing.
When the lambs shall have recover
ed and gather enough wool to make
their shearing worth the effort again,
the boss gamblers will precipitate
another flurry in stocks or another
flurry in oil or another flurry in rail
ways or another flurry in bread or
another flurry in meat, or several first
class flurries in combination, and they
will then shear the lajnbs again.
Every man aDd woman who now
buys stocks or oil or grain on margin,
simply shuffles along into the shearing
pen of the boss gamblers. All specu
lative values are inflated or depressed
by the ruling gamblers qf the day at
their pleasure, and they Inflate or de
press prices just as it may best profit
