BUTLER CITIZEN
|OMN H. & W. C. NES'.EY, PROP'RS,
Ejttere<l at the Postojfice at Butler an
»e(ond-clease matter.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7. 1883.
COURT proceedings will be given
next week.
HON. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, j
now Governor of Georgia, died at At-,
lanta, that State, on the Ith, inst.
HON. RUSSSXTEBR ETT has been ap
pointed Pension Agent at Pittsburgh,
in place of Col. William A. Herron,
removed.
MR. ZIEGLER has been invited to
lecture before his fellow members of
the Legislatures on his reollections ol i
that body for the past hall century.
This will be a rare treat for the present
Legislators. See account of thv_ invi
tation in another place.
HON. NELSON MARTIN, of Mercer
county, has introduced a bill in the
House at Rarrisburg to prevent physi
cians from givicg druggists prescrip
tions for alcoholic drinks to be used as
a beyerage— Ex.
The passage of a bill to prevent in
competent persons from handling poi
sonous drugs and dealing them out to
innocent persons as ciedicine, would
undoubtedly be hailed with delight by
the people of this section.— Meadville
Republican.
THE republic is still in its infancy.
Elbridge Gerry's daughter has just
died in New Haven. He was a sign
er of the declaration of independence
and a Vice President of the L nited
States. He died in Washington city
In 1814, and was buried in the Con
gressional cemetery, where an unpre
tentious monument marks his last
resting place. He it was who said,
"If a man has but one day to live it is
his duty to devote that day to the
service of his country." His daughter
Ann was 91 years of age when she
died.
THERE was no appointment made
for the post office here when Congress
adjourned. As the matter now stands
any appointment made will be made
subject to the confirmation of the
Senate when it again meets in Decern
ber next. The action on the part of
Mr. Miller, our member, in not j
recommending either of the applicants
before adjournment of Congress, looks
favorable for the Republicans of this
place yet being heard on the question,
in such a manner as will clearly and
fairly demonstrate who the majority
think best entitled to the office. The
, term of the present occupant does not
.expire until the 27th of this month.
A FIENDISH outrage was perpetrated
at Hadley station, Mercer county, ear
ly Saturday morning a week. Three
successive attempts have recently been
made to bnrn the llazen & Bro. grist
mill at that place, which had caused
the owners to place a constant watch
upon the premises. Young llazen
was on watch until midnight on Satur
day. He went to the house and
wftkened his father, Wiiliam Hazen.
When the latter got inside the door he
was knocked down, robbed of §460
which he had in his pocket, and tied
to a grindstone, after which they set
the mill cu fire. Itazen, by a desper
ate effort, succeeded in breaking his
bonde, and immediately aroused the
neighborhood. Help came, but too
late to save the mill, which was valued
at $12,000. No clue to the discovery
of the perpetrators has yet been fouud.
THE P. O. war at Butler is between
two ladies —Miss Sallie Robinson, the
present incumbent, and Mrs. Black, a
soldier's widow, and a respected citi
zen as well. As a road out of the dif
ficulty the ballot-box is suggested and
will likely be employed.— Greencille
Valley News.
From almost every quarter in which
any notice has been taken of the post of
fice contest here, there has been an ap
proval of "the ballot-box" remedy. A
mode of settlement so fair to all com
mends itself to all looking on-
Not accepting of it by any party is a
confession of the weakness of their
claims and cause. The suggestion for
an election here having been first
broached by Mr. Miller, our member of
Congress, he doubtless will yet require
tho applicants to submit to that test.
We believe it will yet bo had.
Congress Adjourned.
The 47th Congress adjourned on
Sunday last, March 4, at 12 o'clock,
noon. The usual scenes, busy and
otherwise, took place at its final break
ing up. Senator Edmunds, of Ver
mont, was elected President of the
Senate in place of Senator David Davis,
of Illinois, whose term in the Senate
had expired.
The tariff bill was passed during
the last hours of the session. In the
Senate the vote on it was 32 for Con
ference Committee report and 31
against. Senator Cameron, of this
State, was one of the only two Repub
licans of tho Senate who voted against
the bill.
On reaching the House the bill was
passed by a vote of 152 for, to Ufi
against. Messrs. Bayne, Brumm,
Campbell, Errett and Miller of Penn
sylvania, voted against the passage of
the bill. The balance of the Pennsyl
vania delegation present voted for it.
The President signed it aod it is now a
law. It revises the tariff, but some of
its provisions are considered not good
for the iron interests of this Slate.
The whisky bond extension bill, and
several otl-jr important measures, fail
ed to get through.

Proceedings in Legislature
A bill has been introduced in the
House granting school directors $1 "><>
per dav for attending conventions to
elect County Superintendent.-'
In the Senate a bill has been reported
favorably repealing an old act of 1700.
which requires owners of lauds to en
close to same with fences.
There is a general bill yet pending
requiring railroad companies to fence
their tracks. The one to which we re
ferred last week as having been killed,
by having an amendment tacked on it,
was, we leam, a special bill. So there
is room for hope that a law so much
needed may yet be passed by this Leg
islature.
A bill granting a gratuity of
and an annuity of $l2O, to soldiers of
the war of 1812 and their widows is
before the House.
A bill fixing the salaries of Judges
throughout the State permanently, so
as not to have them dependent upon
appropriation bills, has been introduced.
The House Judiciary Committee
has reported back to the House the
bill districting the State into districts.
Lawrence county, by this bill, is made
a separate district with a new number.
This, if passed, settles all trouble and
leaves Butler county a separate dis
trict, of itself, and retaining her original
number.
Gov. Pattison sent a special message ;
to the Legislature on the Ist inst., rela- 1
tive to the charge made by the Hon. |
Franklin B. Gowan against one E. G. j
Patterson, of Titusvillc, who, when in j
the employ of the State, is charged
with selling out the interests of the
State to the Standard Oil Company, or
in other words, of being bribed by that
mammoth company. An investigation
will likely take place.
The consideration on final passage of;
the bill for the distribution and use of |
unclaimed human bodies for scientific ;
purposes was resumed, when the fol- j
lowing debate took place, which will j
explain the nature and objects of the ,
bill:
Mr. Laird said the bill discriminated ;
against the poor, and that the principles .
contained therein were horrible. Ihe I
enactment of the bill into law would be j
to place the wards of tt e State at the ;
disposal of wolves.
Mr. Stewart was not surprised that i
the moral indignation of the Senato; ]
from Westmoreland should have been :
aroused by the introduction of the bill. \
His own had been stirred. The object i
of the bill was not only repugnant to |
our natures but iniquitous iu itself.
Mr. Reybnrn, who introduced the
bill, expressed his willingness to accept
amendments to meet humane objections
of Senators.
The vote by which the bill was pass
ed third reading was reconsidered, and
Mr. Laird offered an amendment,
which was adopted, that "any humane
person," as well as relatives of the
deseased, may claim the body and pre
vent it from being dissected, within
twenty-four hours after decease.
Mr. Lantz moved to amend by re
moving the mandatory feature which
obliges poor directors, overseers of the
poor, etc., to surrender unclaimed
bodies to the proposed board for distri
bution and by making the surrender
permissive or discretionary.
Messrs. Ilughes and Stewart oppos
ed this amendment as its tendency
would be to encourage traffic in dead
bodies.
The amendment was not agreed to.
Mr. Agnew offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, that medical col
leges in the counties iu which persons j
may die shall have priority of claim to i
dead bodies intended for dissecting pur
poses.
Mr. Ross offered the following as an
amendment; ''Only criminals who
have been convicted, sentenced and ex
ecuted according to law for the crime
of murder shall be legal subjects for /
medical and scientific purposes and ,
said subjects shall be delivered over by
the Sheriff."
The amendment was not agreed to,
and similar action was taken on uu
amendment offered by Mr. Laird that
the subjects for dissecting purposes
shall be murderers and other persons
giving their consent ;o such procedure.
The bill was then agreed to, and
laid over forfiual passage.
Mr. Everhart's bill, to prohibit the
issuing of free passes, was made the
order for Saturday morning last.
The Wallace voluntary tribunal act
was passed finally—yeas 48, nays 0.
On motion of Mr. Humes, tho vote by
which the State Board of Health was
defeated was reconsidered—yeas 28,
nays 14.
Old Times in the Legislature.—
Uncle Jake Ziegler Invited
to Lecture.
HARRISBURO, February 2C>.—Undo
Jake Ziegler entertained the House to
night, when Glenn, of Armstrong, in
troduced a resolution testifying that
Uncle Jake was a walking encyclopedia
of Legislative reminiscences and au
thorized the Chair to appoint a, commit
tee to ascertain from Uncle Jake when
he could favor the legislators with a
lecture in the House on old times. The
partriarchal Representative from Isutler
objected.
There was a good deal in the past,
he said, as he looked around the House
with a knowing smile, that had better
be buried in oblivion. If, however, any
gentleman desired to hear something
about the foibles of great Statesmeu of
yore Pncle Jake would whisper It in
his ear (ilenn insisted upon the pass
age of his resolution and it went
through with a shout. Uncle Jake
says he is not sure that he will lecture.
George W. Hall wanted the commit
tee on Ways and Means, of which L'ncle
Jake is Chairman, discharged from
further consideration of t)u> concurrent
resolution asking the committee to fix
a time for the adjournment of the Leg
islature. Uncle Jake astonished Hall
by saying tiiat the committee had no
such resolution.
"Where it can hayegono," he added,
"the Lord only knows." "Maybe it got
lost between the two houses and swept
out by the scrub-women."
Hall then introduced a resolution to
adjourn at noon ou Friday, April 27.
Jamison, Democrat, of Bucks, caused
it to lie over by objecting.
Pittsburgh and Western and
Pennsy 1v an i a Rail roa d s
Make an Important
Contract.
A contract, says the Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazelle, that will prove of
more than usual advantage to the city
and t) the business community of the
countrv at large has been made between
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and the Pittsburgh and Western Kail
road Company. The Pittsburgh and
Western to get into Allegheny City
way compelled to cross four tracks of
the West Peun at Pine Creek, _ ami to
I make the difficulty greater the Penn
sylvania has made extensive purchases
of land at this point. The Western
had an agreement for a third rail on
the West Penn tracks which enabled
it to bring the narrow gauge cars into
the city, but this did not permit of run
ning standard gauge cars, and there was
danger of the Pittsburgh and Western
getting to the city's door and then
standing there knocking vainly for ad
mittance. It was possible to cross at
grade, but only by a fight tint meant
long and vexatious delay.
On the other hand, the Western was
in a position to grant a favor to the
Pennsylvania, and after several consul
tations an amicable agreement was
effected. I'uder this agreement the
Pittsburgh and Western gets the u-e
of the West Penu tracks from Pine
Creek to a point near Willow Grove,
where it takes its own tracks. It will
have free use of the track- and will pay
a stipulated sum as an annual rental
and a proportionate share of the ex
pense of keeping the track from Pine
Creek to Willow Grove iu repair, this
to be calculated on the wheelage. If
the Pittsburgh and Western shall at
any time desire to construct its own
tracks the Pennsylvania will run its
line nearer the hill, and if the Pennsyl
vania shall desire the Western to build
its own road it will give thirty mouths
notice to this effect and move the West
IVnu tracks to make room for the new
line. In return for this the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company obtains the
u.-e of the Pittsburgh and Western
tracks fron) a point in the lower part of
Allegheny, where connections can be
made, to Pine Creek, for both passen
gers and freight traffic. '1 he Pennsyl
vania will pay a certain tonnago, even
the empty cars being taxed.
The advantages to ha gained are
manifest at a gla-ice. Tue Pittsburgh
and Westei n avoids a long litigation
and will only pay (or the qse cl the
West IVnn tracks an amount that will
not equal the interest on the money re
quired to build a similar stretch of
road. The Pennsylvania does away
with the hauling of freight cars through
the Allegheny parks, avoiding the
heavy gi.i'ies and »way with th-3
complaints of the people, us in the
fu ure only passenger trains will be
taken the old Hue. In Pitts
burgh .no dangers of the crossing at
Liberty a;.d Eleventh streets will be
decreased, as there will be no freight
trains to cross at this poiijt. By means
of the Junction bridge all local traffic
from the Panhandle and Baltimore and
Ohio, including the heavy C')ke and
coai hauling, will be taken to Allegheny,
end the overcrowded yard between the
Union Depot a,"4 fh'.rty-third street
will be releaved. Hut the greatest
saviug of money will lie in the through
freight. The West Penn Railroad has
been overhauled and is now a low grade
road. All through freight for the East
gud West v/i)l leave the main line of
the Pennsylvania at the West penn
junction, and will be taken through
Allegheny on the Pittsburgh ar.d West- j
crn tracks. The cost of running trains j
over the low grades of the West Penn
yyill be much less than over the heavy
hills on the i«.i»in lino, and in addition
to this thj tolls on the Ft. Wayne
Railroad bridge over the Allegheny
will be saved. The Ft. Wayne bridge
is owned by a private corporation, and
every car taken over it pays toll, an
item that assumes large proportions in
b. year's tiiij3. The contract into
effect at ouce and the result will show
immediately.
Responsibility of Boroughs
•Judge White, at the session of 'bo
court at Washington, I-a , laid
the law in a case showing the duty
of city and borough authorities, as
well as supervisors of roads, in re
gard to keeping public thoroughfares
in safe condition for travellers, which
is interesting throughout the State.
The case was that of Williams against
Monongahela City, being a suit for
damages, Williams having been injur
ed by being thrown frotif his sleigh,
which had come in contact with a
pile of frozen dirt. The plaintiff was
awarded $;>,000.
"lioroughs and cities are brand to
keep their streets in a reasonably safe
condition for travelers. They should
not permit any obstruction ii) the
streets, or anything that is likely to
endanger the safety of travelers. Per
sons who may wantonly place obstruc
tions in the street may also, under
some circumstances, be liable in dam
ages for a personal injury; but the bor
ough or city is liable where the city of
ficials have actual knowledge of its ex
istence, or where it has continued Ions?
enough to give them information, al
though the*/ may not have actual
kuowledge of it. The neglect of a city
to keep its streets in.such condition is
called in law negligence If the dirt
pile was some nine feet from the curb
stone in the street, four feet in diame
ter at the baso, and some eighteen
inches hiffh, aud had remained on the
street with the knowledge of the of
ficers of the city having charge of the
streets, from the Nth or lSth or 20th of
December until the first of February, I
have nohesjtftncy in saying the city was
guilty of ncgligenub.
The main question, however, in the
case is: Was the plaintiff guilty of
contributary negligence? Because,
notwithstanding the city may have
been guilty of qeedigence yet if the
plaintiff was also guilty of negligenoe
which contributed to the result, he is
not entitled to recover. Whilo travel
ers have a right to presume the street
is clear the entire width of it, yet they
are bound to keep their eyes about
them, bound to drive with some de
gree of *.urp and prijdenoe, in conse-
J tpience of these obstructions tj. it ijjay
exist. The degree of care required of
the traveler is a degree of care that
would be exercised hy an ordinary pru
dent or cautious man under the exist
j ing circumstances.

Pensions.
WAsnixnTON, February -Jl.—Gov
ernor ('uriin iaslitin interviewed by
the rhilaih Iphia Tims* on the Fort}-
dollar l*en.-ion Hill. 11-• said anuing
other things:
1 reported that bill to the Hou<e and
1 advocated it, and it passed unanimous
lv. giving it to every man who lost a
leg or an.:, o. - aa equivalent disability,
forty d. Lars per mouth the remainder
of his 1 fe. It was my deliberate judg
ment then, and it is now, that in such
cases men who served during the war
and who are maimed in the manner de
scribed iu the bill, should lie supported
by the Government. In the first de
, cade after the war the loss of life in the
'class of men who lost arms or legs
was even in one thousand. In the next
ii e.de, or that part of the next decade
\vhi -ii has just passed, the m irtalitv in
the same class of men was :J1 { per
i 1,000 It has been ascertained, nut
o:ilv from the opiaiou of scientific men
and men whose profession would lead
, them to investigate such subjects, as
I well as statistics from the insurance
j offices, that the average duration of life
! w hen? an arm or te r - is 1 >st between
i the age of twenty-five and thirty-five,
: at wiiieh age these people wi re thus
| maimed, is not over fifteen years
If that is correct and th" mortality
; should increase lor the future at a ratio
I corresponding with the past, the Uov
! ernment will uot be long taxed to pay
| this increase of pensions. 1 notice
! that complaints are made about that
! part of the bill which provides for an
■ equivalent disability. What would be
regarded as an equivalent disability
' should uot be hard to ascertain, p.nd iu
: ray judgment a disability of that kind
should carry with it the S4O per month
which the bill provides for those who
lost an arm or leg. There are, I be
lieve, (1,000 of this class of disabled
soldiers living, and as they are all
pensioners now, there would be no
difficulty in ascertaining to whom the
pension should be paid, and impositions
on the Department would be quite im
possible- Xo distinction is made be
tween privates and officers in this bill.
An unjust and improper distinction ex
ists in tii" present pension laws. The
j private i.~ quite as deserving as the
officer and gem-rally is in the greater
need.
Some, without investigating, cry out
that these p -nsionswill co-t $100,000,-
: 000. I can not say defin'tely what, the
' amount wiil be, but 1 think 000,000
I or £j.O,Q6K),OQO will be tu:i;-ieut. 'L'Lo
| bill before the Sou vie iticreises ihe
| pensions as they are nnv paid. I do
j not think ihe bill is just, because it
! still continues the distinction between
I the private and the officer. It refers to
j that class of men who lost limbs or
! parts of !ii»;.b=. and increases their pay
as, for instance, the man who lost an
arm below the elbow joint gets eigh-]
teen dollars per mouth ; the man who
lost a leg at the ankle gets twenty-four
dollars. >'o the man who lost the hand
gets less than the man who loses the
leg r ; t the ar,!;le. >,'ow the distinction
as to what a man gliali receive—as to
whether the arm or the hand is gone,
or the part of the leg,—is absurd and
unjust. The man who lost part of the
leg can no more use the leg naturally
th<» mar) vvho lost all of the leg :
and the man vvho lost his hand is ipiite
as much deprived of the means of a
livelihood as the man vvho lost his arm
at the shoulder.
There are about two thousand five
hundred applications neriqonth I',led at
the Department for Tensions. llow
do you account for so large a number?
"I account for the increase from the
fact that many persons are applying
for pensions that have neglected it.;
manv that have been able to do with
out it, some who wero too pronu to
apply for pensions before, and some, 1
regret to say, who have no right to
S a pension. There have been a large
I number of fraudulent cases, and a large
' amount of money has been paid on
' pensions which should never have been
I paid. Those frauds 1 think aro stop
ped. Now it is quite impossible to
get a fraudulent case through.''
Mr. Curtiu said in conclusion, that
he felt a great interest in the passage
j of this bil] as ho thought it a sisnnlp
; act of justice. "And when it is pro
posed to extend further justice and the
munificence of the Government to
other classes of soldiers equally meri
torious, I vyiil be foqud active jn tho
support of such measures."
Oysters Siek in Their Beds.
"Green gill" is a term made use of
among (Jualers to describe the peculiar
appearance of some oysters at certain
seasons of the year. It is reported
that great excitement prevails at Red
Bank, New Jersey, owing to the dis
covery of this "disease" which renders
j the oysters unsaleable. Thomas I*.
Covington, an old and experienced
: dealer in oysters, of that city, vvho has
beds of his own and is thoroughly eon
' versant with til the ills to which these
j luscious bivalves are subject, explain
ed the matter in this wise: "Near the
J bottom of an oyster, on the right side,
| you will observe a layer of skin that
j looks like a lip. Under this is the gill,
j in many of the Ohincciteagues and
! some from Snow Hill, and the Ilap
| pahannock river—iu short, among
j those which come from Southern
| waters—the gills are sometimes a
| bright green. This is not observa
ble in a raw oyster, but when cooked
the hp curls up and the green is plain
ly visible. This is uaused by the green
| sedge which floats down from the
i river's tributary to the oyster beds in
; the fail of the year, upon which the
I bivalves feed. They are unmarkct-
I able because of their ugly appearance
' and most people do not understand
I thr t t ibey all tl;e fatter and better
i tasted for it. Some dealers rake their
I beds occasionally to remove the grass
• and yet we have customers who say
that "green gills" are at a premium
: with them.
"A real disease, however, and one
that is fatal in its results, has just
, made its appearance in the oysters
i from the Rappahannock. Since tho
I first of the year these have been the
! best in tha market, but three weeks
I ago this disease was observed. It
, consists of a small black spot, which
! none ljt|t a dealer \yill see. The oyster
, is perfectly good ail around the upot,
I but if this is bitten into the whole
. thing is made bitter and unpalatable.
I It is, jr. fact, the beginning of de-pay,
and tho oyster is bound to die iu a
j short time after it appears. This dis
ease brings the Maurice river coves
again into demand, and in my opinion
. there are none better sold in I'hiladel
j phia to-day.
j MARQUIS DE SALAMANCA.
The Death, in Spain, of this
j. Eminent Financier.
Recent foreign nil vices received by
Mr A. 11. Siecle, President of the Sh •-
nan go ti Allegheny II lilrotnl Com
pany, announces the death in Spain of
the Marquis Don .losede Salamanca, the
eminent Spanish financier arid philan
thropist, whom many of our readers
will recollect in connection wiili the
Atlantic iV Great Western Kailrotd
— i. \v the Ni• w York, Pennsylvania

Many attempts had lit en made to
complete the Atlantic A Great Western
Railroad ironi the Krie Raiiroad, in

with the O'aio «v Mississippi Railroad
l at Cinciun *ti prior to 1 an 1 every

Marvin Kent, <>t Oiiio, went to Europe
with lettc..- f introduction from many
of the prominent people in the three
States of .V'.v York, Pennsylvania and

Haimony, Butler county, Pa., and
later in I'ktsburg and Philadelphia,
who was personally acquainted With
. the country through which the pro
posed roarl was to be built.
Mr. McH .'iiry, after much solicita
tion, undertook the task of raising the
I capital necessary to construct the road,
j himself becoming one of the largest
i contributors and subsequently its con
tractor.
I The Marqt.is de Salamanca and the
Queen of Spain, personal friends of .Mr.

acteristic energy and its early comple

railway managers
The present flourishing town of
Salamanca, N. Y., was named in the
' honor of the Marquis who, to the last
! day of his life, maintained his interest
j in the prosperity of that unfortunate
company, and his death must provo a
great loss to its friends and proprie
tors.
Whittier's Opinion of a Boiled
Dinner.
The old-fashioned New England
j beverage, eider, was mentioned, and
Mr. Whittier stated that he had once
derived much benefit when unwell,
"when nothing tasted good," from the
use of cider. Huntington suggested
that without cider we should not have
vinegar. "Well," said Wi» it tier, 'vin
egar is uot ol much use, after all.''
"Except," replied Huntington, "to eat
on cabbage and cucumbers." "Neither
of which are lit to be eaten," remarked
the poet. "1 think it would be a good
idea to start a prohibition party on
those two articles. As for cabbage it
i>4 not tit to be eaten ; if you cook it in
your house you have got to burn the
house down afterwards to get rid of
the smell ; it is certainly the most dia
bolical smell that was ever invented,"
and Whittier who vyps near tl.o
open stove grate, upon the top of which
he bad deposited his hat, folded his
hands and laughed a silent laugh.
"What do you think of onions, Mr.
Whittier?" asked I. "Well," lit re
plied, "onions r ; re not quite so qad , for
you tan get rid of tha smell of those in
three or four days." "Then," said
Huntington, "you would not approve
of the old-fashioned 'boiled dinner V "
"No. 1 think that is a detestable dish.
I remember that my father used to
i,avc il, iu which cabbage, onions,
beets, potatoes, turnips and carrots
were all boiled up together, and turned
out into a great dish all in a heap,
with a great greasy piece of meat in
the middle. 1 think that is the reason
why the present generation is not sq
strong as the former. H ta owing to
the way the parents lived, eating so
much pork and potatoes. Our last war.
showed that. The farmers were not
nearly as strong as the men recruited
in the cities—Portland, Portsmouth
and JJoston." "Rut the people in the
cities do not have the free air we get
in the countrj'," said Huntington. "I
know that," replied Whittier: "but
they live bett.:r, and that makes a great
d i tie re nee.'' — Ha rper'ts 11 'eekl //.
