MR. EVERETT LAWRENCE, who learn
ed "the art preservative of all arts" at
the CITIZEN office, we are pleased to
know has successfully graduated at the
Michigan, Ann Arbor, Medical Univer
sity, to which institution he went to
study medicine after leaving this office.
Mr. Lawrence was raised on the bor
der of Slipperyrock tp., this county, and
is a young man of great worth of char
acter. We remember well his first ap
pearance at our office. A notice for an
apprentice had appeared in the paper
and there were several applicants for
tbe position. When Mr Lawrence
came, with grip-sack in hand, he intro
duced and recommended himself as one
who "neither drank whiskey, chewed
or smoked tobacco, or used profane
language." Struck with his eincerity
of manner we told him we thought he
was the young man we were looking
for and to immediately go to work,
which he did, leaving tbe office at the
end of three years with the respect and
good wishes of all. It gives us there
fore great satisfaction to notice his pro
gress in the worid.
SOON after it was known the Gov
ernor had signed the Judicial Appor
tionment bill, by the provisions of
whicb Butler and Lawrence counties
were practically continued a judicial
district, with two judges as at present,
considerable discussion naturally took
place among the legal profession of this
county as to probable aud proper can
didates. And while it was well under
stood that no election for judges took
place until next year, yet several mem.
bers of the Bar deemed it a proper time
to make an expression on the subject.
Foremost in this view we believe was
Gen. John N. Purviance, the oldest
member of our present Bar. It appear
ing evident that the general sentiment
among the members was that Judge
McJunkin should be his own successor
in tbe place be holds, two papers were
consequently prepared, one for the
signatures of the members of tbe Bar
generally, expressing their continued
confidence and respect for him as a:
judge, and the other specially for the
Republican members of the Bar, ex
pressing tbe same confidence and re-*
spect, and asking bim to permit the
use of his .name as a candidate when
tho proper time arrived to do so.
These papers have been signed by a
majority of the members of the Bar and
will in due time, we learn, bo present
ed to Judge McJunkin. What his
answer may be of course is not known,
but there is no mistaking the fact that
this action of tbe Bar is strongly in ac
cord with the general sentiment pre
vailing among the people of this
county.
The Old Grave Yard.
We understand a movement i« pro
posed to enclose the old grave yard in
this place with an iron fence. Some
years ago the substantial stone walls
that surrounded this first burial place
of the dead were removed and sold for
building purposes, with the promise of
those doing so that they would replace
the stone with an iron fence. IJut this
has never been done. What became
of the amount realized for the old stone
walls, or where all the stone went to>
w« understand has never been made
public. As there are descendents or
relatives of those whose bones still lay
in the old grounds this present move
ment is with the object of protecting
the fame. ,The movement embraces
the idea also of laying out the ground
iuto walks, in the manner of a park, so
that it may be a place for pleasant re
sort to all visiting t it, instead of the
desolated condition now found to exist.

JUDGE BLACK'S FUNERAL.
A Great Gathering of Friends and
Acquaintances Paying the
Last Tribute of Respect.
At the Cemetery.
YORK, PA., August 21.
Never before iu the history of this
old borough has there been so dis
tinguished a gathering as that which
assembled to-day to honor the memory
of the dead jurist and statesman, Jere
miah Sullivan Black. The splendid
home which he had built is situated on
a height, about a mile and a halt from
this place, and commauds an enchant
ing view of hill and dale. Away
down at the foot of the slope the
pretty home of Chauncey F. Black, the
statesman's son, nestles in a green
bower. It was impossible, after nine
o'clock to-day, to hire any sort of a
vehicle to carry one to Brockie, so
great was the demand. The weather
was perfect, the hills smiled in their
bright green, the \\ inds were cool and
low, the morning sun, shining down
the peaceful valley, smiled on waiving
corn, on ripening grain heavy on the
stalks, on swept and garnered Gelds.
In a darkened chamber of bis own
stately mansion the statesman, the
fruits of bis busy life gathered in, lay
at rest. Around about him and passing
in and out were friends of his youth,
wrinkled and silver-haired, men of the
new generation, buoyant and strong,
their works growing against the
harvest-day.
YORK IN MOURNING.
It was like a sad Sunday in the
little town. All the public buildings,
the schools and many of the private
houses were draped with crape, and
flags flew at half-mast. Old farmers
who had known the distinguished dead
for long years came in their wagons
with their children from miles around
to bid farewell to the remains and min
gled around the bier with distinguished
men from distant cities. Many little
boys and girls, pupils of the Sunday
school in which the jurist's wife takes
a lively interest and in which the
Judge's face also was well known, came
with the rest to say a timid good-bye.
The body lay in a casket of red cedar,
covered with black cloth, in the north
drawing room. The dress was a frock
suit of black broadcloth that the dead
jurist was accustomed to wear. The
head was slightly raised and rested on
a pillow. The countenance showed the
effect of long suffering, but retained, as
it seemed, in a wonderful degree, the
old expression. The strong nose, the
firm under-lip, the splendid and rugged
brow, were all as in life. The bands
were crossed upon the breast, the left
a little below the right, and seemed to
hold a black velvet pall that covered
the lower part of his body. The casket
was furnished with six handles of
oxydized silver and gold. Upon a
silver plate edged with gold on tho lid
appeared the inscription :
"Jeremiah S. Black. Born January
10, 1810. Died August 19, 188:J,
aged 73 years, 7 months and 0 dnys."
A vase of field flowers rested upon
an ebony tabie near the foot of the
coffin. No other flowers wore to be
seen anywhere about the body or in
the room. Gazing down upon the
dead face from a pedestal near the head
of the casket was a plaster bust of the
statesman that was cast several years
ago by one of his nieces. A branch of
laurel lay at the base of the image.
THE SERVICES.
At last, a little after 5 o'clock, when
hundreds had taken their farewell, the
Rev. Mr. Powers, pastor of the Camp
bellite Church at Washington that Kx-
Judge Black used to attend, came down
from an upper room and standing in
the hallway said softly: "Let us
pray." Jt was the beginning of the
end, and the half-repressed sobs from
some of the black veiled mourners
showed that they were conscious of tha
fact. The prayer was brief and was a
eulogy almost pure and simple. The
clergyman had known the statesman
well, he said, and he praised his life,
his character and his broad compassing
charity. After him the Revs. J. G.
Miller and Arthur Powell, of York,
prayed and spoke. They, too, had
words of warmest praise for their de
parted nefgjjbor. At the end those
who had not yet taken Jejye filed past
the bier. Then all but the immbdjgto
family left the room and the widow
and the bereaved children bade fare
well to their beloyed dead in sacred
privacy and the light of day was shut
out forever from the rugged old face.
As the casfcet was placed in the hearse
by its distinguished bearers it was im
possible to avoid observing how plain
the vehicle was and how complete was
the absence of pomp. Not even a
plume waved over the sombre hearse.
As the line of carriages wound down
the slope the tolling of the bells iu
York came solemnly oyer the hills. ;
The line of carriages reached farther
than the eye could see and, it is said,
extended for more than a mile. As the
procession passed through the city the
sidewalks were thronged with men aud
women and little children, to most of
whom the old jurist had been a familiar
figure. Many wept as the hearse
went by.
AT THE CEMETERY
The cemetery, in which a son and
daughter of the statesman are buried
and which he had chosen for his own
last resting place, lies on Prospect I
Hill, on the pretty, Godorqs river, just J
beyond the town. The lot is not a.
large one and is marked only by a
modest granite cenotaph. As the
casket with its burden was taken out
and placed beside the open grave,
General Hancock, solemn and erect,
stood at the foot of the excavation and j
Chief Justice Mercur at the head, the!
remaining pall-bearers ranging them
selves on each side. The widow, sup- ]
ported by two of her sons, was led to a I
seat near Justice Mercur. Two brief I
prayers were said—prayers of faith and '
appeals for strength—and then amidst |
the hum of insects and just as the round
red sun sank behind the bills* ti;e coffin
was lowered into the grave. Tho
bereaved sadly turned away and in a
little time the cemetery was left to the
grave-diggers. The cemetery, with its
glistening monuments, is clearly in
sight from the porch of the J>lack
mansion, and with the aid of a giuss ii,
would be easy to make out the exact
spot in which the dead jurist lies.
"it wan indeed a modest funeral for
one who fiiied so large a place in the
history of this country," saicj y. };i%h
official; "but never before have i seen
so much sincere sorrow and esteem, so
much true heart, manifested by any
people as I saw in this county to-day."

A TERRIBLE TORNADO.
One Hundred Killed and Injured
OWATONNA, Minu., August 22.
Telegraphic advices received here
early this morning give meagre details
of a terrible accident between lloches
ter and Zumbrata, Minn , on tie Roch
ester and Northern Division of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, 1
by which about persons were kill
ed or wounded. Owing to interruption
of the telegraphic service at Rochester, j
no information could be obtained until
the arrival of a train from the scene of
the disaster, on which were thirty-five !
persons who had been injured in the
accident.
Of this number many appeared to be
seriously hurt, and all were taken to
the hospital. The train that was
wrecked was that which leaves
Rochester at about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, arriving at Zumbrata at fi
o'clock. It was caught in a severe
wind and hail storm that prevailed in
that vicinity between 4 and 5 o'clock,
and while running at a high rate of
speed was lifted from the rails and con
verted into a mass of ruins.
A IIORRIRI.E DISASTER.
Gentlemen who have been to the
scene of the disaster describe it as one
of the most horrifying railroad acci
dents they ever witnessed. Every car
in the train was a complete wreck, and
was almost literally shattered to
pieces by the sudden stop caused by
the train leaving the rails, burying the
unfortunate passengers beneath the
debris, killing many and injuring near
ly every person on the train.
A gentleman stated that nine dead
bodies had been taken from the ruins,
and that a large number of those
seriously injured had been removed to
Rochester and Owatonna. At the
time he left the work of extricating the
unfortunate victims was still progress
ing, and it was believed that the num
ber killed would reach a score when
the final summing up was made.
The cyclone which struck Rochester
demolished about 300 houses and
damaged 200 more.
The destruction through Dodge and
Olmstead counties was terrible It is
impossible to estimate the damage in
the city and county. Rochester was a
pretty and substantial city of between
8000 and 9000 people. Most of the
dwellings were of brick, and there were
many stately and substantial business
blocks. Indefinite despatches about
the disaster were received here early
this morning, but the first authentic
accounts were obtained this afternoon
from passengers on incoming trains,
who, however, knew few particulars.
At 10 A. M. the Governor received the
following despatch :
ROCHESTER, MINN., Aug. 22. —Rochester is
in ruins. Twenty-four persons have been kill
ed awl forty seriously injured. One-third of
the city is laid waste. We need immediate
help. S. W. WHITLEK, Mayor.
THE EFFECT Of TliE IJI'RRICANE.
Mr. Cole, proprietor of the Zumbrata
Mills, at Zumbrata, was instantly kill
ed. He was in one of the mills when
the storm struck the town and wrecked
the building. Governor Hubbard has
sent SSOOO to aid the suirerers.
Superintendent Sanborn, of the
Winona and St. Peter Railroad, tele
graphs that the list of killed and
wounded is hourly increasing. The
prostration of the telegraph lines has
made it difficult to get particulars. The
storm swept through the towns of
Utica and St. Charles, in Winona
county. Job Thornton was killed and
several others were injured.
Reports from Dodge county indicate
that the storm caused much damage
and some loss of life in that county.
£Q particulars are yet obtainable.
Mayor Ludwig, uf Winona, with a
corps of surgeons, left for Rochester
this morning.
THE DEVASTATED DA STRICT.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., August 22
A heavy storm raged West and South
of here yesterday The wires are
in both directions, and news is hard to
obtain. The report conies from Kasson,
on the Winona and St. Peter Ilailroad,
that the cyclone passed over that
place, blowing dojyn many buildings,
killing two persons and injuriug tjovsi'al
others. The hailstones that fell meas
ured ten inches in circumference.
Efforts to obtain particulars are in vain.
The cloud to the West and North
was a heavy opp i .mil fears are ex
pressed by many here tliac
damage has been done, but, the wires
being down, no particulars have Leen
received.
DESTRUCTION AT KASSON.
KASSON, MINN., August 22.—Mrs.
(lie e.i)d h"r mother were
killed by the cyclone. Chris Uleu's
wife was killed, his child's leg broken
and his house and barns were destroy

were destroyed, horses and cattle kill

A Sad Accident
Mr. James T. Battler, oldest son of
Williamson Bartlev, Esq., of Penn
township, this county, met with a fatal
accident nea. - Brownsdale on Wednes
day evening, 22d inst. lie left his
fither's house on that evening with a
ho*se aud buggy, for tlie purpose Oj
a ter diug a singing at what is known
a* the Xixon school house. to
the re.-i leoce of Mr. David Douthett,
near Brownsdale, ho was joined there,
about eight o'clock in the evening, by
Miss Esther, a daughter of Mr.
Douthett. The two had proceeded but
a short distance in the buggy when the
horse suddenly frightened, ran away
and Mr. Bartlev was thrown out. The
young lady endeavored to check the
animal, but finding she would be un
able to do so, by remarkable good luck
and courage managed to get out of the
bugtjy without receiving any serious
injury. On seeking her companion be
was found to be unconscious. The
alarm being given neighbors soon came
and carried him to the office of Dr. Me-
Clymonds, iu Brownsdale. An examin
ation proved his neck to be dislocated.
Vet he lived for about five hours, dying
about one o'clock in the night. During
these hours he talked, aud was occasion
ally upon his feet, walking about the
room. But his suffering was intense
and his speech incoherent.
The sudden and sad loss of this
young man was a severe shock to all
who knew him. We kuew him well
and deeply regret his sad fate. James
T. Bartlev was a young man of much
more than ordinary promise. Of all
the young men of our acquaintance in
this county we knew none whom we re
garded as more promising. He was
intelligent and of most excellent char
acter. The unusually large number of
people who went to his funeral and
followed bis remains to the grave here
at Butler, attested their appreciation of
his worth. That one so young, so
useful and so good should be so sudden
ly taken away from his friends i 3 in
deed to be regretted. But it is said the
good die early. Ilis parents and rela
tives have the sympathies of all. ilis
age was 28 years, 4 months and 13
days. An obituary notice by a friend
will be seen in the death list we pub
lish this week.
Bills sent to subscribers are gener
ally attended to on court week—if
they have not been attended to before.
