BUTLER CITIZEN JMN H. 4 W. C. NEGLEY, PROP RS. Entered at the Postoffice at liutler an aecond-clcx** matter. Til* Wilketbarre Record tbiuks the legislature should at on« e pass a law to prevent public officers from accept ing passes on the railroads. PETITIONS are pouring into the Leg islature in fayor of the passage of a Constitutional Amendment bill. They can be had of members of the Womens' Christian Temperance Union, of this place, or of Mrs. Ellen M. Watson- Pittsburgh, Ps. THE book written by Rev. E. Cron enwett, of this place, on "The Calvin iatic Conception in Lutheran Theology, ♦tc.," can be had at the book store of H. C. Heineman, of this place. It is said to be an able work on the subject it treats of. Mr. Zikgler has introduced a bill in the Legislature offering a bounty for the destruction of owls and hawks. Mr. Donly is a member of the Legisla tive Apportionment Committee, a fact overlooked in our former notice of the committees he was placed upon. AMONG the passengers on the vessel Cimbria, recently lost in the German ocean, were six American Indians, named Red Jacket, Little Cheyenne, Crow Foot, Black Bird, Chippeway and Sunshine. They has been on ex hibition in Berlin and other European cities. REPRESENTATIVE HASSON, of Venan go county, has introduced a bill into the State Legislature making it a mis demeanor for Judges of the Courts, the Governor and Lieutenant Govern or, heads of departments and their chief clerks, and members of the Leg islature to accept free railroad passes. These passes are generally granted with the hope of making favorable im pressions on the minds of the recipients towards the grantors. While but very few men could probably be bribed by so small a consideration as a railroad pass, still .even this favor has its ef fect on the mind. It is safer to have our judiciary and law-making power absolutely free from all obligation to such corporations. Such favors are granted usually for the very object sought to be prevented by this meas ure.—Mercer Republican. AMONG the bills "read in place" at Harrisburg on Tuesday week was one by Mr. Hulings, of Venango, for the c-e --ation of a tree pipe line law. This is virtually the bill that was killed by the Legislature of 1879. It is of course general in its application. Special free pipe line acts now apply to eight of the counties of the State, they be ing Bntler, Armstrong, Clarion, Ve nango, Allegheny, Forest, Crawford and Wanen. The provisions of the Hulling's bill relating to the right of way are the same as are incorporated in the railroad law. Its author says that the Tide-water pipe line which is gradually creeping toward Point Breeze, on the Schuylkill river, near Philadelphia, and which point is its ultimate terminus, has paid $600,000 in "hard cash" for the purchase of the right of way. This figure, of course, is immensely in exaggeration of the real value of the narrow strip of land purchased, but the company was bar rassed by its enemies who preceded its original surveyed line and bought patches to circumvent it. The conse quence was that the enterprising com pany was compelled to make frequent circuits to steer away from these pur chases. The line, therefore, has now the appearance of a worm fence, or even worse. Hulings admits that his bill will be compelled to encounter a powerfully organized opposition, but says if the Democratic House is hon estly anxious to make a reform record it will pass his bill.— Petrolia Record. Fencing Railroads. There has been DO more just bill in troduced in the present Legislature than the one requiring Railroads Companies to fence their roads. And no law is more needed just at the pres ent time. Roads are being made all orer the country, and in many cases the manner in which they pass through farms or improvements make addition al fences a large item of expense. Why should the owners of the property ta ken be compelled to make the fences destroyed or rendered necessary bv the acta of others? Those destroying fences should be compelled to replace them. And those rendering the build ing of additional fences necessary should bo the ones required to build them. We tee no difference between fences and other buildings in this re spect. There H another question of deep in terest to the people. And this is as to tbo danger to life of person or proper ty. Any one looking at the tracks of railroads tltout here will at once see this danger. That accidents are cer tain to happen there can be no doubt They will come about of necessity. And they may come with great loss to persons not able to bear them. To a poor man or woman losing a cow it ma? be a serious loss. And yet there is doubt if the railroad company can be compelled to pay. But if they can be compelled it will cost more than the price of the animal to enforce bv law the payment. This should not be; the railroad companies should be required, upon being notified of the loss in such cases, to come forward and make amen is, without waiting and forcing the poor man or woman to bring suit and be at expense and wait the delay 1 of the .law. But all these questions j would be settled by requiriug tbe com- 1 panics to fence their roads as soon I as tbe same are constructed. Our Leg- ' lsUture should act promptly, j THE POST OFFICE QUESTION. The question of the succession to the post office at this place continues to greatly interest our citizens. The ex pression for an election to decide upon the merits of the applicants has steadily grown until it now appears to be unan imous. If there is any opposition to the people having an opportunity to express their opinions on the subject it has not been made public, and must be concealed. The suggestion for an elec tion was so fair and just to all that it immediately commended itself to all. It will not be long until these officers, as well as many others, will be elected under the law. A bill to amend the National Constitution to that effect is now pending in Congress. The past mode of selecting them has been one of interminable difficulty and trouble to members of Congress, occupying time that should be given to their more im portant duties. The debire for an election, at this place, has been strengthened by the manner in which petitions were sprung upon the community. Without- any information on the subject people are importuned to sign, and do so only to regret it when they hear of others, than the one they signed for, being appli cants. This is a common trick in qaestioos of this kind, and hence it is that people interested everywhere are beginning to demand a free and fair op portunity to be heard. The member in Congress from a district is always looked to as the one expected to control in the post office ap pointments in his district. We have no doubt Mr. Miller, our member, will concur in the general desire of our peo ple here for an election to fill the office here. He will doubtless soon, if he has not already, notify the applicants of this view of the matter, and request them to meet and fix upon a date for the election, or their friends to do so for them. As to the question as to who should vote at the election, this they can also arrange. Whether all receiv ing their mails at this office, or whether Republicans only should vote, and whether the election should be confined to the borough and township of Butler surrounding, that vote at the Court House here, or be enlarged to the Re publicans of other near townships re ceiving their mail matter here, all these points con be easily arranged. And any disposition of them will be as fair for the one as for the other. In either case a fair expression of the public opinion can be had and that is all that is desired. THE equity case cf Elisba Patterson against the Tidewater Pipe Line Com pany wus decided at Meadville last week bv Judge Chueh in favor of the later. In the bill filed Patterson alleg that he was a stockholder; that the company was a general partnership, and that he bad the right as a partner to have the partnership dissolved and a receiver appointed. He also alleged that the company was insolvent All of these allegations were denied by the defense, and it was charged that the design of the suit was to wreck the company. The litigious Mr Pattersou, hawever, came up at the annual meet ing of the Tidewater Company, at Ti tusville, on Wednesday of last week, and the board of managers was ousted, the vote resulting in the election of John Satterfield, manager and chair man; T. S. McFarland, manager and treasurer; I). B. Stewart, manager and secretary; F. B. Qowen, manager, and James R. Keene, manager Of the above board, Satterfield, McFarland, and Stewart supplanted B. D. Benson, A. M. Perrin, and R. E. Hopkins Qowen and Keene were re-elected. The old board of managers refused to give up the office, and applied to the courts for an injunction to restrain the new management from interfering w.tn the business or property. Judge Church granted a preliminary injunc tion on Saturday restraining the new ly elected board from assuming control pending an action to show the illegali ty of the same. The old board has also issued a card cautioning the pub lic and all persons interested not to recognize the claims of Mesrs. Satter field. McFarland, and Stewart as offi cers of the company. The Satterfield party, it is claimed, hold $250,000 worth of stock, and Perrin and party $160,000 worth. A decision will prob ably be reached next Monday.— Pttro lia Record. Roberts' Torpedo Patent. Special to the Commercial Gazette. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Congress man Tom Young, of Ohio, the Chair man of the House Patent Committee, yesterday introduced a bill in the House granting an extension to the Roberts torpedo patent. The bill is as follows: "That the Commissioner of Patents is hereby authorized to extend the reissued letters patent granted to Kdward A. h. Roberts, January 26, 1875, numbered 5,258, for a method and means for increasing the capacitv of oil wells (original patent dnted Nov. 20, IB6t>, antedated May 20, 1860, aud numbered 59,936,) for "a term of seven years from the date of the passage of this act." The introduction of the bill was a surprise tor mar.y Pennsylvania members. W. B. Roberts, of Titus ville, who has been here for some time ostensibly engaged in settling a dis puted question about the fencing in of lands out in the ludian Territory, has said repeatedly that he had not the slightest hope of securing the extension of the pateut. He thought be would let the matter drop. That the bill should be introduced now in face of these statements would indicate that all hope had not fled from the doctor's heart. It was necessary, however, to go outside of the Pennsylvania delega tion to get the bill introduced. The selection of Mr. Young may be con sidered judicious. Being the Chairman of the Patent Committee, as well as the brother of the guardian of the J Roberts children, be will have the dis- j position and power to push the nieas ur.? through the committee into the 1 House. Once there, however, its de- j feat is considered certain. Your correspondent asked Mr. Er rett what he thought of the prospects for the passage of the bill. "It has no j chance whatever," be said. 'Since the power was vested in Congress to extend patents there has not been a single instance where such a thing has been done on any patent. I don't tbitik there would be forty votes in its favor if it should be brought before the House." Mr. Bavne said: "There is no sense in asking for an extension of this patent. The Roberts family have grown wealthy from it and should be satisfied. The ouly reason that could be given for the extension of a patent would be that the inventor hau not made anything out of his invention; that he had spent more money than he had received and desired to get back a fair recompense for his labor. In such a case as this there would be some justness in granting an extension of his patent, but in the case of Mr. Roberts the demand is absurd and will be voted down." Mr. Miller said he was opposed to granting Mr Roberts an extension to bis patent. He thought be ought to be satisfied with what be had made on it already. He should vote and work against the extension, although it might be favorably reported to the House. Mr. Young, Chairman of the Patent Committee, being in its favor would be sufficient to accomplish this much. It will make no difference, however; the House would vote it down, no matter in what manner it should be presented for consideration. It was indirectly charged last fall that Miller secured his renomination for Congress by promising Roberts that he would support him in his efforts to secure an extension of his patent. This Miller flatly denies, and from the way he talks it is believed that he would fight the bill to the best of his ability. Mr. Roberts stated to your corres pondent that he had now some two or three thousand lawsuits pending, grow ing out of infringements of his torpedo patent. The oil men in Pennsylvania will fight the bill, but Roberts is not without friends. Should the bill by any chance pass the House, W arner Miller, of New York, will look after it in the Senate. Undo' the guidance of Young in the House and Miller in the Senate, even with the present bad out look, its cha ices for passage may not be entirely hopeless. Nearly Foily Acres of Land Sinking at Wilke^barre. Wilkesbarre, PA., Jan. 21 —At about 5 30 o'clock this morning a serious cavo-in occurred in the neighborhood of Scott and Kidder Streets, in the Second Ward of this city. The ground for.the space of about twenty acres or more was covered with cracks and seams, and the report of the earth giv ing away was something similar to a loud explosion. The disaster occured before many of the residents in the lo cality bad risen, and fcr awhile the greatest consternation prevailed. Men, women and children rushed out of their houses iuto tue cold, freezing atmos phere half clad and terror-stricken with fright, and their fear was quite natu ral, as many of the houses showed signs of dropping over any minute, the ceilings of many of them having fallen to the floor, and the buildings were otherwise injured. The streets were soon crowded with people and a search was begun to as certain the cause of all the disturbance. Lanterns and miners' lamps were brought into requisition, and it wus not long before the exact situation of ufluirs were learned. Along Scott Street was discovered numerous zig zag gaps, from two to four and five inches in width, running diagonally across the thoroughfare and under the houses that Hue Scott street, in the vicinity of the Baltimore, Boyd's and Barney Boyle's stores. These seams were threatening in character, and naturally tended to greatly increase the alarm that was felt. Those car rying lanterns in the search were fol lowed by excited crowds, many of them children, and some women, who, upon the di covery of each new seam, would cry out in the greatest agony of distress. When daybreak dawned the excite ment wis somewhat allayed, but not to any extent. The new* spread rap idly, and in less than two hours after the cave-in, thousands were on the spot or in the immediate vicinity. The most conflicting reports were a float, which only weut to add to thd already-excited feeling existing among the property owners, who feared an other shock at any moment which would leave them homeless and pen niless. The greatest damage was found to have been done on Scott street. Here seams ran across the street every few feet, some of them measuring four or five inches wide. The pavement of the sidewalk had been filled up in some places to the height of several feet. The houses on each side of the way had nearly all been more or less seriously injured, ceilings and plaster work had been shaken down, doors jamed to, or the Irame work forced a part, floors hed been split and the foun dations of many structures had been seriously damaged. The residence of Frederick Handmesser is very greatly damaged. The floors are split and the foundation walls cracked and thrown out of place in such a manner that it seems alihost impossible for the house to remain standing. Fur ther down the street are the buildings owned by Mrs. Haines and the resi dence of Peter O'Donnell, which are almost ruined. The seams run ac ross the street and under many of the buildings. The foundation walls of nearly all of the structures on Scott street are more or less injured. The school house, built of brick, although itself almost uninjured, is surrounded by gaping earth cracks, one of which ruus com pletely under the building, and no school wad held to-day in conse quence. The ground in many places has sunk fully a foot below the surface level. The territory that has thus caved in is situated over tbe old abaudoued workings once worked by tbe Dela ware and Hudson Canal Company. It is supposed that the props in tLe fifteen feet Baltimore vein, situated about 280 feet below the surface, have rolled and given way, thus causing the disaster, though old and I reliable miners contend tbat the ac cident is the result of pi liar robbing. | The entire extent of the cave-in comprises a space of nearly forty acres, most of which is covered with dwelling and other buildings During the day many people moved away from tbo scene of the disaster as it is thought that this is but the beginning of a more serious trouble. Another Faith Cure. One of the best painters that ever lived in Butler was Henry C. Moser. Henry was born and raised in Hutler, and resided here np to something over three years ago, when he removed to Harrisville, this county, where he now resides We had not heard of bis being sick, but it appears that for about two weeks previous to last Thursday a week, he was completely prostrated by a hemorrhage of the stomach and entire paralysis of the right side, and was so helpless that he could not move his righ arm, hand or foot. Even his life was despaired of, and the sick man himself is said to have relinquished all hope of recovery. But while laying in bis bed praying, on Wednesday of week before last, his mind, according to the report of the Mercer Republican, "became im bued with the idea of a cure by virtue of prayer. While in this frame of miud, and engaged in his devotions, he says the door of his room opened and a vision appeared to him, giving him to understand that if he would engage in prayer at two o'clock the following day the desire of his heart would be grant ed and h|B cure effected. In the morning he entreated his brother, who was visiting him, and was about leav ing for his home, to remain, Btating his belief that he would be restored to complete health at two o'clock in the afternoon. He also requested his wife to bring his clothes, brush and have them in readiness for use at that hour. His wife and brother were alarmed, and thought him deranged. His reported vision they regarded as a premonition of death. Yieldiug to his earnest entreaties, Rev. G. W. Ches bro and wife, Rev. Father Hodill and wife, and others (all of Harrisville, and all well known here,) were called in. As the hour of two o'clock approached they all engaged ia prayer. About two o'clock Mr. Moser began to clap his hands, and declared he was cured and well. He got up, dressed him self in the clothes his wife had got in readiness at his request and walked about the house apparently rrstor«-d to complete health and strength. T hose present were all astonished and una ble to account fur hi- instantaneous [cure. The people in ll irisviile, who knew he was 1.1 a lioj,»-less condition, were incredulous when informed of his recovery. A Mr. Henhrson brought him f: load of coal 1 lie next morniug, and wasgr«*tly surp'i-e-1 at seeing the dying pate nt of Ihe pre vious day extend his fornit rly paralyzed hand and grasp his with a firm grip. At latest »<• •< unts Mr. Moser retained his suddeul v restored heallh, an! suenx-d completely restored to bis usual vigor From a reliable source we lesrn that th.s statement of the case was given by the minister present at the alleg"d remarkable re storation." We r«joiee to hear of ilenr}''s recovery a.d believe in his miraculous cure as tii >roughly and firmly as we believe that he fluw across McKeau s-t , this towu, some years ago, 'r mi the ro >f 'he U. P. Church to the roof of the ievidence of II Julius Klingler. Th« story is that Henry was painting the church, and that while paiutiuir the steep'e, stand ing either on the scaffolding or ou the ed#e of the roof, he made a mis-step and would have fallen to the pavement had not the Lord bad mercy on him and carried h m through the air. 'a distance of some eighty or uiuety feet, andsafely landed him on the roof of Klingler's house. Since the above was in type we re ceived the following communication on the subject: A FAITH CURE IN HARRISVILLE HARRISVILLE, Jan. 25, 1883. EDITORS CITIZEN :—Brother Moser came here as a temperance revivalist three years ago. Wherever he spoke the power of the spirit was with him aud he did much good. He is eim phatically a trust in God kind of a man. He is noted lor this. His life has been characterized by many re markable acts of Providence. He is the same man, who. in attempting to run from a falling wall of Wuller's burning drug store, to or more years ago, ran against a hitching post and fell back on the pavement. The wall parted in the form of a circle and fell around him, not as much as a brick hitting him, and many of the citizens of Butler who witnessed it declared that it was providential. FoUr weeks a<ro he was stricken down with paralysis, his right side being palsied. Ou the 17th, inst., an hour of prayer in his room was set for 4 P. M, on the 18th. On the night of the 17th, Rev. Moser felt an assurance that he would be healed at the meet ing the next dav, and on the morn ing of the 18th had bis clothes brush ed and laid by his bed, aud was so confident that the Lord would heal him that he could hardly wait the hour. At the hour appointed tbe Ilev. Chesbrough aud several others came in, and while engaged in prayer for him, Bro. Moser began to clap his hands, and said, "thank God it is done." I called to gee him tbe next day and was much astonished to see hitn sitting up, and reaching out his right hand to shake hands. lie got up and walked across the room. A week has elapsed since his miracu lous cure, and ho contiuues to im prove. The feeliug in bis right side njiurned at once, and was quite nat ural from the time of the healing, al though he was weak I was to see him to-day. He is able to go to his meals, arid is feeling quite well. We all feel that a great and notable miracle has been done A B. UIJ,DEUSI,EKVE. MISS NA RCISSA WHITE. This youag lady, distinguished as a temperance lecturer, will, we under stand, he in IJutler county during the coming month of February, to speak to the people. She is now in the eastern part of the State making public addresses in favor of the passage by the Legislature .of the Constitutional Amendment bill. A letter from Harrisburg, published in the Amendment Herald of the 27th inßt., speaks of her reception at the Capitol of the State as follows: "Miss Narcissa White occupied the Hall of Representatives last night. Kvery seat in the House was filled and the aißles and corridors were crowded. Many remained standing during the address. She made a good impression and acquitted herself so well that after the address many pressed on the stand to congratulute her."

When a farmer comes in to bis din ner on a hot day in harvest and after a rest of fifteen minutes can sit down to dinner having a glass of iced milk or iced tea or coffee, or a dish of ice cream, he can enjoy them as no one in any other situation in life can. He is situ ated to enjoy tbem Let me tell you bow to put up ice. Build a rail pen 18 inches high, tramp it full of sawdust and build a block of ice upon it six feet square, continue the pen of rails hiijh enough to f-dmit of covering, stuffing the cracks with straw and filling in saw dust around the ice, tramping it as you go. Cover to heep dry, give plenty ot ventilation above the ice, but have the ice covered two feet deep with sawdust. The cakes of ice should be cut square. This is easily done by laying off a square on the ice, and cut ting to a straight edge. There things are necessary to keep ice, viz: Ist, Keep dry by good drainage and cover. 2d, Plenty of sawdust under, over and around it. 3d,good ventilation above the sawdust over the ice. Any farmer can put up and keep ice thus, and can buy a freezer for $2.50 and harvest evenings may regale himself under his under his own vine and shade tree and be happy at less expense than any one else. Yours &c., A. B. G. A CARD. MR. EDITOR:—It ia our pleasure to acknowledge through your columns a pleasant surprise at our home, Jan. 18, 1883. Having passed through a very pleasant communion season, b».f i ning on Friday and closing on M>n das ; previous, ou the day mentioned, we were invited out for supper, but be fore the hour had arrived we were hastily summoned to our home by the announcement of the arrival of friends Coming in sight, we discovered the out yard full of teams, the house full of aruests—whom we soon found to be members of the U. P. congregation and numerous friends of the yicinity —who had taken possession in our abscence, and had prepared a bounteous supper from their baskets, which we all enjoy ed. Ou further examination we found a good supply of corn and oats for my pony in the stable, our coal-house tilled with coal, and flour, groceries, notions, etc., in the pantry, kitch en and study. After spending a few hours very pleasantly together we sang the 133 Psalm and closed with the Apostolic benediction A few days later we received a load of hay and one of straw. We thank our many friends for these tokens of their affection. But, above all, we thank the Great Giver of all good for the love and good will that prevails among us. Sincerely yours, S. B. & M. A. STEWART. The Summit Church Lecture. The second lecture of the course, now in progress in the Summit Pres byterian church, was delivered on Fri dny evening last by the Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel, pastor of the first Presby terian church of Pittsburgh. His sub ject "A man's a man for a' That," was handled in a masterly manner. The sentiment contained in those words of the Scotish poet was elucidated in the clearest and most forcible terms. Man} hood received at the hands of the lecturer a handsome tribute, and at the close of the lecture his audience was profoundly impressed with the fact that man, after all, is a very important part of creation. His denunciations of caste, aristocracy and preferment on account of rank or position were emphatic. Every sentence uttered was replete with instruction, and the attention of the large audience present was marked and unbroken from the commencement to the close of the lecture The next entertainment to be given in Summit church will be a musical concert, under the direction of A. G. Williams, Esq , of Butler. It will be given on the evening of the 14th of February. O. AKKIED. BECK—PFAFF—On Jan. 24, IHB3, at the residence of the bride's parents, bv Rev. C. A.
