BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. L W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-classs matter. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1883. Republican County Ticket. For District Attorney. SAMUEL B. SNYDER, of Butler. For County Surveyor, B. F.HILLIARD, of Washington twp. THE Governor has signed the Anti- DiscriminatiOß bill, the Free Pipe bill and the Jndicial Salary bill. THE members of the Bar of this county will be pleased to know that the Pittsburgh district of the Supreme Conrthas been restored—back to where it was. HON. GEORGE SnABSWooo, Ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of this State, and a learned lawyer and up right jadge, died at his home in Phila delphia, on the 28th of May ult., aged 73 years. COURT is in session this week, Judge McJunkin presiding and hearing argu ments, motions, etc. The Grand Jury is acting upon bills. Next week the trial of criminal cases will commence. Week after next is for the trial of civil cases. WE have received from the Depart ment of the Interior at Washington, at the request of the Hon. S. H. Miller to the same, the "Compendium of the 10th Census of the United States, 1880," in two volumes, which can now be seen at onr office. MB. DONLY'S bill, giving servant girls, clerks, and other hands and help ers, preference for their wages over other <yeditors of insolvent employers, being supplement to the act of 1872, has passed both Houses at Harrisburg and is now in the hands of the Governor. THE Attorney General of the U. S., at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, has given an opinion that under the provisions of the act approv ed March 3, 1883, no tax can be collect ed on capital and deposits of national banks since the first of January last, and no tax on the capital and deposits by State banks or private banks since the first day of last December. IT haying been reported that Mr. Donly, in the Legislature, was not friendly to the passage of the anti-free pass bill, he writes to say that he has favored the bill all through, and stands ready to vote for and do all in his pow er for its passage, if a vote can be reached in the House. The intention, it is said, is to smother this bill in the House. In regard to the bill intro duced by Mr. Donly, requiring the fencing of railroads in this county, he informs us that bill is over in the Sen' ate committee and that he has not been able to get it out of committee up to his writing, although he has a promise that it shall be acted upon. As the Legislature adjourns to-morrow the fate of both of these important bills, and of many others, is very uncertain We write this on Tuesday and have yet hopes that legislation so much de manded by the people will get through safely before final adjourn ment of the Legislature. The Convention. The proceedings of the Return Judges to the County Convention on Monday last will be seen in another place. The ticket nominated will be lound at the head of our editorial columns. It is a good one and we have heard of no unfairness in its nom ination at the primaries. For District Attorney the lot fell to Samuel B. Snyder, Esq. He is a young man of good education and character, and those who know him best speak highly of him and predict that he will, if elected, make a faithful and efficient officer. Mr. B. F. Hilliard, the nominee for County Surveyor, is well qualified for that position. He is a practical survey or and those who have employed him as such speak in very favorable terms of his learning and ability. He comes from one of the oldest families in the county, is extensively connected and will make a strong candidate. Everything passed off harmoniously in the Convention and there is but one thing that we hear any criticism about; that is the Convention assuming to fill op or appoint committeemen for town ships which bad failed to hold a pri* mary. We have no rule that justifies this, and the practice might lead to trouble and bad results. In such cases the vacancy in the district not repre sented should be left to the Republicans of that district themselves, to fill as they might hereafter wish to do. This they would do in case it became neces sary. But others, of other districts, have no right to do it in their absence and in the absence of any rule of the party to warrant it. The Republicans of every district are sovereign and their rights cannot be taken away from them. We refer to this now in order that it may be better understood in the future. First in the Field. The State Convention of the Prohi bition Home Protection party, that met in Pittsburgh last week, put in nomination for the office of State Treasurer, Mr. Ira E. Howard, of Ve nango county, and for State Auditor General J. R. Fordham, of Lackawanna county. The members of the State Commit tee for this county are John W. Bran don, Esq., of Connoquenessing, and Mr. James W. Orr, of Parker township. Judge Taylor's Address. Decoration Day here on the 30th ult., was more largely attended than usual and everything passed off pleasantly. The meeting in the Court House was organized by the appointment of Alex- Russell, Esq., as President and Gen. George W. Reed and Mr. Simeon Nix on as Vice Presidents. Various patriotic songs were sung by the young ladies and gentlemen present, and a poem read by Newton Black, Esq. The chief feature of the occasion was the address of the Hon. Charles E. Taylor, of Franklin, now President Courts of Venango county, Pa. His address was admired and highly spoken of by all who had the pleasure of hearing it. It was clothed in beautiful language and full of fine and patriotic sentiment connected with the late war between the north and the south. He pictured our country as before and since the war and the present grandeur and prosperity of our united nation. He also spoke of some of the evils existing in our political methods and warned the people against them. It was regarded as a fine effort and the Judge has left behind him here a very favorable impression of his eloquence and abilitv as a speaker. In Town. Mr. N. P. Reed, of the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, was in Butler on Saturday last on a visit to his parents here. Mr. Reed is always a welcome visitor back to his old home. His en terprise and success in the building up of the Commercial Gazette, to the flourishing and influential paper that it is, makes his old Butler friends feel proud of him. Winfield S. Purviance, Esq., of Pitts burgh, was also in town on Monday last He is the only son of the late Hon. Samuel A. Purviance, deceased, long and favorably known to the peo ple of this county. With his father he went to Pittsburgh some years ago and engaged in the practice of the law, in which profession he is quite suc cessful, having nov» a large and lucra tive legal business. Mr. Benjamin W. Biedin, formerly of this place, but now of Franklin, Pa., was also in town on Monday last, attending to some legal business. Mr. George Parker, John B. Leonard and James P. Parker, of Parker township; Capt. Thomas Hays, of Fairview, and other prominent citizens of the county, were attend ing Court this week. BACK IT COMES. Supreme Court in Pittsburgh Again. While the Legislature has been fuss ing and fuming over the re-arrange ment of the Supreme Court districts of the State, and oven gohig so far as to talk of organizing a new court which would satisfy the people aud leave the Supreme Judges in Philadelphia, the bench has stepped forward and cut the knot by putting things almost as they were prior to 1881. On November, 1881, the Supreme Court issued an order transferring certain counties in tho Middle and Western districts to the Eastern district, or, in plain English, wip«d out the Middle and Western dis tricts and made the State and district coextensive, with headquarters in Phil adelphia. There was a howl from all except a few counties, but the Court had laid down the law and it bad to be obeyed. During the present session of the Legislature the solons have been endeavoring to bring about a new order of things, but this has been rendered unnecessary. OLD DISTRICTS RE-ESTABLISUED. Whether the Judges of the Supreme Court have become alarmed or not is a matter for future settlement, but at all events they have issued an order which re-establishes the Middle and Western districts. This order, which is dated at Harrisburg, June 1, provides that Cumberland and Fulton counties shall be transferred from the Eastern to the Middle district, and Allegheny, Arm strong, Butler, Cambria, Clarion, For est, Lawrence and Mercer from the Eastern to the Western district. This leaves Erie, Fayette, Somerset aud Crawford counties in the Eastern dis trict, and as the lawyers from those counties were instrumental in having the change made in 1881, it is to be supposed that they will be satisfied. The term in the Middle district will continue two weeks, in the Western district seven weeks, and in the Eastern district from the first Monday iu Jan uary until the commencement of the Middle district term. The return days in the Western district are fixed as fol lows : For tho first Monday of the term the counties of Beaver, Clarion, Forest, Greene, Jefferson, Venango and Westmoreland. For the second Mon day of the term the counties of Arm strong, Cambria, Lawrence and Mercer. For the third Monday of the term the counties of Indiana, Washington and Butler. For the fourth Monday of the term the county of Alleghany, and four weeks of the term, if necessary, are as signed for the hearing of cases in this county. The Prothonotary of the Eastern district is directed to certify to the pro thonotaries of the Middle and Western districts respectively the record in all cases now pending and undetermined upon writ of error, certiorari or appeal originating in each of the counties hereby transferred from the Eastern to the Middle or Western districts.—Com mercial Gazelle. Witherspoon. The literary aud musical entertain ment to be given by the students of the Witherspoon Institute comes off in the Court House to-morrow, Thursday evening, June 7, 1883. The exercises, it is said, will be of the most interest ing character. We have no doubt a crowded house will greet the students of the Witherspoon on this occasion. IGP™ Advertise in the CITIZEN.

A§ its last days approached the proceed ings wore interesting. The following are among the more important meas ures acted upon : OIL MEN JUBILANT. HARRISBURG, PA, June I. —The oil men are on the top waye of exultation today. This morning the vote by which the Free Pipe bill was defeated yesterday was reconsidered and that celebrated measure passed finally, aad was sent to the Governor. Its advo cates had worked with such effect that there were six votes to spare. The motion to reconsider was made by Mr. MeCrum, of Crawford. Mr. Cbadwiek demanded the ayes and nays, but after ward withdrew. There was no debate. The vote on final passage stood: Yeas 107, nays 73. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION BILL PASSED. IIARRISBURO, PA , June I.—The end of the long fight for the Anti-Discritok nation bill was reached to-day. The bill as amended in the recent debate in tho Senate was passed finally this morning by a vote of 43 ayes to 2 noes, lleyburu and Adams voting against it. In the House this evening thei-e were but seven votes against the concurring in the Senate amendments and the bill now only awaits the Governor's ap proval. THE RECORDER'S OFFICE GONE. HARBISBUBO, May 29. —Even the ghost of the recoy&rship is laid. Rey burn and Gordon agreed is amending the bill in the Senate this morning by striking out the House Committee's provision that the Court of Quarter Sessions should approve the bonds for liquor licenses. The reason for this was that tha provision was needless, since by the act of JBf><s the approval of these bonds was already vestpfl in the Court, the duty having been tQ the recorder by a special act of IS,'>B, The Senate then passed the bill finally by a unanimous vote. In the House this afternoon Amerman opposed con currence ic tjje Senate amendment, claiming that the B>e*e ftbojition of the office would not revive the not oj 'j}.®. The House, however, concurred, with but 43 nays. Ten minutes after the bill Jjad been sent to the Governor he returned & u»cssage announcing that he had signed it, and so tbe (indent office of recorder is nO n»ore. HOLDING FAST TO HI EE PASSES. 11 AKRISUUB4, May, 29.—The lIou3C has laughed down asy attempt to bring forward the Senate Anti-Free i»a&i bill, which is far down the calendar of bills on second reading. For weeks, how ever, Hasson's House bill for the same purpose has been calmly reposing Bear the head of the bills on third reading. Mr. Hasson made no attempt to-day to call it up. THE STANDING ASIDE OF JURORS. HARRISBURG, May 29.—The Senate bill to deprive the Commonwealth of j its right to stand aside jurors in misde- j meanor and election cases was defeated | in the liouse last week on second read ing, receiving hut fifty-live affirmative ] votes. This action was reconsidered, j however, and the bill was left to stand j auother chance of passing second read-! ing in very fair position on the calendar, j The opponents of the bill, however, were startled to see it placed on this j morning's calendar among the bills ■ waiting tinal passage. Mr. Bullitt ; called attention to this and demanded an explanation. The Speaker and i Clerk held a little consultation and concluded that this must be a printer's [ error, and the bill was then put back in its place. It will be reached on Thurs- j day or Friday. Attorney-General Cassidy, it is understood, is strongly in favor of the passage of the bill, and John Ballow, of Philadelphia, who is sometimes seen in the Attorney-Gener al's company, has been lobbying in its favor. The exercise of the right to stand aside jurors by the district at torney in the Maher and the Haines, Miskey and Clement cases is believed to be the immediate cause of the pres ence of this bill, against whose ex pediency every Philadelphia judge has recorded his opinion. JUDICIAL APPORTIONMENT. HABRISBUBO, June I.—The Senate passed finally the Judicial Apportion ment bill, and in the evening the House refused to concur in the extensive changes that have been made since It left their hands. Mr. Hall's bill escheating the profits of telegraph companies which violate the Constitution by absorbing riyal lines was passed on second reading in the House, but not without an amend ment that is of all importance to the Western Union. The three words which made it retroactive were strick en out this afternoon after a warm de bate and the bill went through in such a form as to apply only to future cases of combination. The Senate to-night passed finally the Judicial Salary bill Gxinir the pay of Judges at $7,000 in Philadelphia, SO,OOO in Pittsburgh, $5,000 for the Resident Judge in Harrisburg, and $4,000 for the balance of the State, with SI,OOO extra where the district contains $90,000 population. VANpERBtVF B4ILROAD BILLS. IIARRJSBURU, June Patti son this morning made his deeison on the Yanderbilt Railroad bills. Two of them were signed, allowing railroad companies to change their termini and build only part of the route when they can use another road for the balance, and extending the time of those com panies which have not fulfilled the pro visions of their charters within the required limit. The other two, which were introduced by Mr. King and Mr. Laird; were returned to the Senate for amendment, iu compliance with a joint resolution of recall, which wa a ps.££ed this morning at the instance of Senator Wallace. These two were substan tially of the same import and either would iisvo answered the purpose. They removed tho restriction on capital stock and bonds of SOO,OOO per mils and made it $250,000 per mile. The Governor took the ground that under the general law the issue of bonds wcyl.d be twice the capital stock. If that wefe jnd if the bill should be approved in its pre&cal new com panies could raise $500,000 per miie by their bonds and $250,000 by their capital stock, making a total of $750,- QOO, wfclck he thought was entirely too high- He therefor#* called the Yander bilt people together and fran*}y tolvj them that he could not approve thp bills and offered to compromise on an issue of $150,000 stock per mile, which hejhcld would limit the issuo of bonds to $300,000 per mile and allow the company to issue altogether $4 50,000 pf stocks and bonds per mile. This wa» to and when the bills were sent to the Senaw tto amendment was drawn up by Wallace and passed in both Houses. A strong pressure was brought to bear on the 1 lioevraor for the veto of the bills by Philadelphia men, who feared that the opening of a line from New to Harrisburg and from there to Pitts burgh with advantages In distance over the Pennsylvania railroad would in crease the importance of New \ ork and Pittsburgh at the expense of the Quaker City, but Mr. Pattison manfully resiste,d tfte fcepjptation, and a<'ted in the interest of ttye whole St;;tp. State Treasurer, By tbe proceedings of the Republican Count)' Convention of Monday last it will he seen that the Hon. William Irvin, of this county, has been brought forward for nomination for State Treasurer.. Pur delegates elected to the coming felata were in structed to prosent his name u» Convention and urge his nomination by all honorable means. This we have no doubt they will take pleasure in doing. Dr. Irvin has ail the necessary qualifications to discharge the duties of that office, lie is both honest and capable. We do not believe a better selectiou could be made from the West ern part of the State, and the West gJwjjl.d have one of the two places on the ticket ia bp gl.ected this year. If neighboring counties join iu tilP woy.e ment it should be successful. In this, his own county, he would, if nominated, receive a hearty and a full support o the party. As it believed and hoped the FOjiiiug State Convention will make its owu and, therefore, cast around for the best c&Bdid&iCS sible. Dr Irvin's chances would seem to be as good as that of any other name yet proposed. BUTLfcK ftfARK&TS. Butter 15 to 18 cents. Eggs If. to 17 cents. Potatoes 50 to CO cents.

The bridge connecting tbe cities of New and Brooklyn, and which has been the source of just pride as well as the object of natural curiosity to the people thereof since its completion, re-, ceived a dreadful babtism last Wednes day afternoon, Decoration Day Dur ing a crush, the result ol an accident and the immense crowd of people go- | ing each way on the bridge, a pauic j occurred on the Now York anchorage, and before order was restored many persons, mostly women and children, were crushed, some to death, some fatally and still others severely. A scene of terror reigned for fully fifteen or twenty minutes that balHes descrip tion. When it was over, cart loads of wounded and crushed human beings were taken out of the New York en trance of the bride. A small moun tain of torn and abandoned clothing was gathered up by the police. HOW TIIE DISASTER OCCURRED. The accident occurred on the New Y'ork anchorage, where the solid bot tom of the middle footway ends and two {lights of seven steps each, with an intermediate landing, lead up to the plaDk walk of the span between the New York anchorage and tower. It was shortly after four o'clock. The bridge was crowded from one end to the other so that there was hardly el' bow room on the footway. A woman who was ascending the lower flight of steps, stumbled and fell on the landing. The crowd pressed upon her and she shrieked. Bridge Officer Frederick Richards, who was on the plank walk above, seeing her danger, elbowed his way to the spot and lifted her up. The crowd closed upon them both, and they went down. ith a desperate effort Officer Richards got upon bis feet once more, dragging the woman after him. She screamed again in de spair and fright, and the crowd above and below pressed toward the spot to , discover the cause of the commotion. The crush immediately became fearful, Those on the approach below the steps were carried forward in a solid mass. Many stumbled and, unable to resist the pressure from behind, the crowd passed over them. From above the crowd coming f?om Brooklyn was car ried to the edge of the steps and then fell over upon the struggling mass be low. A terrible struggle for life be gan. Men aud women fought with thp strength of despair against each other. Kscape was impossible with the pressure from both 9ides growing at every shout of anguish that went up from the dying and those who saw death before their eyes. Fear and de spair on the one side, curiosity on the ptficr, fought for the mastery. A t'RliiHTjfrfc SC£»£. The frightful crush waa douser than ever, when, after nearly fifteen min utes, a score of militiamen of the Twelfth regiment, led by Lieutenant Hart and Sergeant 3 Couldock aud Cos tellp, parched up the approach toward Brooklyn. The yel*i3 of tho crowd at tracted their attention. At the foot of steps a wall of human bodies was piled high. The dense mass surged about, sn« ii) jt fhp soldiers saw two police men vainly struggliftg against ij;. Ser geant Couldock took in the situation at a giaaos. At the word of command his men scaled the rence and railroad track separating them from the foot walk. and wedging into the mass of oeoole near the scene of the disaster, clroVe uacji crowd at the New York entrance at the muzzle of their guns. It fell back slightly and the militiamen, following up the advantage gained, forced it back until the ap proach cleared. Then forming front across the they prevent ed the crowd from passing, whiie as Riauy of their number as could be spar ed ran toward t|je eccpe of the accident to help in extricating tho deadanti pav ing the living. EXTRICATING TIIE DEAD AND INJURED- The alarm had meanwhile been fjiven at tbe bridge entrance. A gen eral cali fo" all hospital ambulances was sent cut and policemen were hur ried over upon the bridge. From their station beside the city hall fire- of a hook and ladder company fol lowed to assist. TNy fopnd the sittj ation still unaltered on thp bridge. The crowd on the foot-walk above the steps was constantly receiving acces-* sions and still pressing on and over the heap on tbe anchorage. The bodies of the dead and dying lay here so firmly wedged together that to extricate them wqs next to impossible. To beat back tii.e waj equally impossible. Relief was possible' only py majiing room for the crowd to spread sid.ewajg. It was quickly done. Willing hands toie away the iron railiug dividing the foot way from the railroad track on both sides, and dragged those who were nearest in the crush through the opening. It helped. Room was made for the policemen to reach the fright ful heap of human beings, aud the sro?l; of clearing it away began. As soon as a portion pf tjie obstruction was removed from tbe steps the crowd was eased, and a portion was let through the New York station. The rest was forced back until all the bodies had been taken away. Then it was let through, and a body of police men at the point of danger kept it from pressing there. Along the iron fences on the foot way, on the railroad and on the car riage way on both sides of the bridge the dead and wounded were laid. More than half a score were dead when from tho throbbing heap Others wets niofp or je'33 tefribfy in jured. There lay six or eight or ten deep, those in the lower tier long dead. The clothes were torn from the body of more than one in the attempt to get them out. All were hatless, many shoeless, aud on others the clothes in fa£B Five women, all dead, and trampled into an unshapely mass, were taken from the bottom of* th'e heap. One of them had been seen in crush holding a screaming baby above the heads of the crowd. As she her self went down, some man had taken the tiaby. it jyap pot fotind It was aald that a man had beep seep carrying a dead l aby away, but the police had no account of it. Baby clothing scat tered about gave evidence enough that weak infants had been in the crush. Tlis whom Bridge Officer Richards had Lelped to her feet at the beginning of the crush was Richards also escaped death by desper ate efforts. fa speaking of the occurrence after wards, sai.t) that there was no chance of restoring order from the first. ' That one first scream was the death knell of man}* in that crowd. It grew j at once utterly ungovernable and so dense that movement of any kind was ! impossible. The crowd, forced by the constant pressure and accession from the Brooklyn side, went over the steps j like a cataract, and once started fell ua- 1 til the walk lay piled with bodies to ! the height of the steps then went over and fell down beyond it. A dead Chinaman, Ah LoSing, was ' taken from the bottom of the heap. 1 Carts were pressed into service at the New York side as they arrived, and the dead and injured were hurriedly j driven out to the City Hall, where j they were laid in the police station in ' | the basement. Ambulances then ar- j i rived, and those who yet breathed ; | were taken to the hospitals. ! . When the approach was cleared at j I last it was literally covered with ar j tides of clothing and personal*property j abandoned in the struggle. They were viewd with amazement by the people coming over from Brooklyn, who had not heard of the disaster. In the ex citement of the crush William Oxford, a drunken man, deliberately jumped from the bridge approach into William street, and received severe internal in juries and external bruises. The place on the bridge where the accident occurred is the danger spot in the structure. To persons who ore looking out over the scenery as they pass either way, it is a certain and most perilous trap. In a crush like the one it is a terrible danger. Many said that they had feared just such an oc currence at this spot. c FOR THE PERMANENT CURE OF« I CONSTIPATION.
