ANOTHER terrible earthquake visited Smyrna and Asia Minor on Sunday last, extending as far as the coasts of Greece. In fact, ever since the shocks of two weeks ago, that whole coun try seems to be continually and fear fully shaken from earthquakes. Many lives are reported as continuing to be lost AFTER Pennsylvania, the next elec tions in interest that come off on Tues day next, are those in the States of Massachusetts and "old irginia. Whether General Butler can be re elected Governor of Massachusetts, and whether Gen. Mahone can still con trol Virginia, are questions that excite a good deal of interest. THE Supreme Court upholds the prin ciple of cumulative voting in the famous Sharpsville Railroad fight and settles tbat lively battle in favor of the Pierce party, whose policy is to hold the road open to all connections instead of it al lowing to be absorbed by a single road. The reasoning of the decision is very plain, except where it skirmishes about the question whether a railroad is a public highway or not in a very ginger ly manner. Still the decision is a victory for the public interests in this fight, and represents qaite an advance on that class of rulings which prompt ed the writer of one the legal text books to declare that "The Pennsylva nia Railroad seems to run the Supreme Court of that State as successfully as it does its own train."— Pittsburgh Dis patch. Ma. J. 11. CIIHISTY, who owns a general store at Holt Postoffice, Rac coon township, Beaver county, and one of the leading business men of the coun ty, left his home early Monday morn ing to go to Pittsburgh on business. At Phillipsburg he took the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie train, and returned in the evening on the Beaver Falls accom odation. He was carried beyond Phil lipsburg to a point near the bridge over the Ohio river, where the train was stopped. He then started to walk back to the Phillipsburgh station along the railroad track, and bad proceeded about • quarter of a mile when he came to a high trestle over the run just west of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie station, which he attempted to walk. In the darkness be missed his footing and fell over the edge, a distance of about thirty-five feet, to the ground, where he remained all night, and was found Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock. When picked up life was extinct. At the time of bis death he held the office of Jury Commissioner. The only brother of the deceased was killed by lightning on the 22d day of July last. TICKETS 1 TICKETS! The Republican State and County Tickets have been printed and have been sent to the members of the Coun ty Committee for their respective dis tricts. Each Committee man should there tore look after the tickets for his bor ough or township—see that be has them, and see that they are at his elec. tion place in due time. If they should, from any cause, fail to reach him he should make effort to procure some. There are but two tickets to vote this year—one, headed "State," on which are the names of Livsey and Niles, the State candidates; and the other, headed "County," on which are the names of Snyder and Ililliard, the county Republican candidates. By separating these two on the printed sheet the voter can make no mistake in Voting. Martin Luther. Martin Luther was born November 10, 1483. The 400 th anniversary of his birth day, Nov. 10 coming, will be more generally celebrated throughout the Protestant world than on any pre vious occasion. This would indicate that the memory of the hero of the Qrcat Reformation, and the value of bis great work, are increasing as time rolls on. On Oct. 31, 1517 Luther, then but 34 years of age, nailed to his church door bis celebrated 93 theses, or declarations of reform in Christian doctrine and practice. To-day, Oct. 31, is the anniversary of that interest ing historical event, which we believe is to be noticed in the churches general ly on next Sunday. On the following Sunday coming, Nov. 11, notice will be taken more particularly of the an niversary of bis 400 th birth-day. Don't Believe Them We give our readers the caution that seems Deeessary on the eve of every J election, and that is. not to believe all the reports they may hear concerning candidates. One we have just heard of is intended to injure Mr. Snyder, the ! Republican nominee lor District At-1 torney. We learn that it is circulated that Mr. Brandon, to whom the Prohi bition party of the county tendered a nomination last summer, and who de clined it shortly afterward, is s'.ill a candidate. Mr. Brandon has declined, and does not wish any votes thrown away upon him by our temperance friends or by any Republicans. Mr. Snyder is a strictly temperate man in eyery respect, and a young man of good moral character in every respect. He is, besides, fully competent to fill the office of District Attorney, and we believe it will be to the interests of the people of the county to elect him. He is recognized as a young attorney of promise in his profession, llis integ i rity is not questioned. That he will make an honest aid faithful ofticer there can be no doubt. The interests of the Commonwealth, the people, will be safe in his hands. GET OUT THE VOTE. —The only need of this campaign is for the Republicans to get out all of their votes. Meeting in the Court House. The Republican meeting held in the Court House last Wednesday evening was well attended, the room being fairly filled. It was called to order by James Barr, Esq., Chairman of the County Committee, when Hon. Rob t. Storey, of Butler, was chosen Presi dent, Hon. A. L. Campbell, of Petrolia, and B. W. Douthett, of Penn twp, Vice Presidents; and Mr. Geo. Met-ti ling, of Sunbury, and Thomas R. Mc- Call, of Clay twp , Secretaries. The President of the meeting then introduced the Hon. Jerome B. Niles, Republican candidate for State Audi tor General, who addressed the meet ing at length on State questions and present State atlairs Mr. Niles is an able and agreeable speaker and made a very favorable impression upon his hearers, ilis speech was argumenta tive and clear and so well received that his visit to Butler must have been an agreeable one to him. He was followed by the Hon. S. 11. Miller, member in Congress for this district, who spoke on the tariff ques tion in his usual forcible and able man ner. His speech was regarded as a fair presentation of the duty and right of protection to American industries. Mr. Livsev, Republican caudidate for State Treasurer, wa3 then called out and made a few brief remarks, after which the meeting adjourned. THE remaining twin relics of crime are polygamy and drunkenness Opposing Music in Church. I)r. Robert Audley Browne, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at New Castle, Lawrence county, has for some time vigorously opposed the introduction of an organ into the edi fice, but at last was overcome by su perior numbeis. The most active ad vocate of instrumental music among the elders was Sheriff Douds. Elder Douds is a widower ol 55, and for the past fifteen years up to a recent period had kept company with Miss Maria Mcßurney, the courtship extending over a period of fifteen years. A few months ago all arrangements were made for the wedding, the bride hav ing prepared her outfit, when the event was unexpectedly declared off. The congregation was greatly exer cised and Rev. I)r. Browne, among others, took sides with Miss Mcßur ney. The upshot of the whole matter was the arraignment of Elder Douds before the session of the church on the charge of having broken his engage ment vows. Friends of the Sheriff have intimated that Pastor Browne was instrumental in securing the ac tion against Elder Douds in order to get even with bim on the music ques tion. However this may be, at the hearing in the case Saturday night the pastor took an active part in the prose cution. The verdict has not* yet been reached, but knowing ones claim that Elder Douds will come out best. Dur ing the trial it was learned that Sheriff Douds broke the engagement on ac count of the circulation of a rumor in which Miss Mcßurney's name was mixed up. The affair occurred over twenty years ago, and Sheriff Douds clearly demonstrated that he had no hand in its resurrection or circulation. Miss Mcßurney is 40 years of ago, has resided iu New Castle for the past eighteen years, and her character is above reproach. The affair has caused a decided sensation.— New Castle Neves. Since clipping the above we observe that Rev. Browne is sustained and re tains bis congregation, and that Sheriff Douds has also been cleared of any wrongdoing. Both therefore all right Supreme Court Decisions. The following decisions were render ed by the Supreme Court of this State at Pittsburgh on Monday lant: Samuel L. Riddle vs. Josiah M. Thompson and others, opinion of court here affirmed. Milton Hutchison vs. James Kerr; affirmed. Oakland township vs. Abram Martin; affirmed. Pittsburgh & Western Railroad Co. vs. Joseph Lytic; affirmed. No other cases from this couuty, we believe, haye been decided. A liuge Record. WASHINGTON, I).

Remember, That Election day is next Tuesday, November fi, and not on the second Tuesday of Nov., as some may have supposed. Annual Meeting of W. C. T. U. The second annual meeting of the W. C. T. U. convened in the M. E. Church, West Sunbury, Oct. *2, 1883, at 2:30 o'clock. Devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. Iloldin of Al legheny. The "convention was organized with Mrs. Pain, the I'res. in the chair. The tfee'y. being absent, Miss Ada Mech ling was appointed See'y. pro tem. Miss Mullie Jack, (in behalf of the W. C. T. U. of Sunbury). delivered an address of welcome, responded to by Mrs. I>r. Swift, of Allegheny. Committees oa nominations and reso lutions were then appointed. Dele gates from Unions present gave ac count of work done. The Harrisville Uidon reported the introduction ot temperance question books in the school of the township. By request, Kev. Geo. W. Bean gave ! an account of the boys' meetings, held ; uuder his direction for some years past. | Also Miss Anna Glenn, of an anti- j tobacco society, organized about 11 i years ago with 0 members. It has j since incorporated temperance, and is now called The Anti-Tobacco and Tem- j perance Society. It has now over 7"> members, and holds annual meetings. On motion, Miss Glean was requested to publish in the county papers, a his tory of this society, which history will be written in the near future. Miss Sullivan reported that the county pa pers kindly consented to give space for communications from W. C. T. IT. The convention met iu the Presby terian church in the evening, at 7 P. M. Devotional exercises were conduct ed by Mrs. Dr. Swift. Committee on nominations reported as follows: Pres ident, Mrs. Dain; Recording Secreta ry, Miss Anna Glenn; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Mary Sullivan; Treas urer, Miss Maggie Shaw, Harrisville. On motion the report was adopted. The committee on resolutions next re ported as follows : WHEREAS, we listened with so much pleasure to the accounts of work done in Sunbury for the children, Resolved, That we recommend a like work iu other parts of Butler coun ty, for both boys and girls. " Resolved, That the subject of teach ing (in our public schools,) the nature of alcohol and its effects orf the human system, be insisted upon by teachers. " Resolved, That we recommend, in as far as possible, for the instruction of temperance lesson leaves in Sabbath schools. We also recommend the earnest prosecution, Ist, of temperauce litera ture ; 2nd, temperance legislation ; 3d, young womans' work; 4th, influencing the press; sth, temperance Bible read ing; Cth, the use of unfermented wine at the communion table. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to work for legislation requiring instruc tion on the effects of alcohol on the human system, in our public schools. Pending the adoption of these reso lutions, a number of short addresses were made by the ministers present. Next tollowed the annual address by the President, Mrs. Dain, and an essay by Miss Anna Glenu, subject, "The Coming Train." The exercises were iu terspersed with mu*ic, by the Temper ance Glee Club.

After some further confer ence, convention adjourned with prayer and benediction. ANNA GLENN, Recording Sec'y. MRS. PRESIDENT DAIN'S ANNUAL ADDRESS DEAR SISTERS—FRIENDS:—That we may understand why we are met to day allow me to give a brief sketch of the history of the W. CT. U. Al though, probably not participants in it, yet most of you remember the Women's Crusade against the liquor saloons, which originated in Chio, iu the winter of 1873, and which spread through many of our Stf.tes during that winter and spring of 1874. In the following August there met at Chautauqua, a number of those who had been engaged in that crusade, women who had drawn near to God in saloon prayer meetings, and felt their hearts aflame agaiu as they recounted the wouders of the great uprising. And as they talked they felt that the Temperance cause needed the united efforts of all the women of this land, and the suggestion was made that steps be takeu at once to organize the W. C. T. U. A meeting was held which resulted in a Committee of Or ganization being formed and the Chair mar: and Secretary of that meeting be ing authorized to issue a circular letter asking the Woman's Temperance League, of the North, to hold Conven tions, for the purpose of electing one woman from each Congressional Dis trict as delegates to an Organizing Convention to be held at Cleveland, Ohio. November 18, l'J and 20, 187 4. This convention was held as appointed, representatives from Hi States being present, and the N W. C• T- U. was organized with the following women choseu as officers for the ensuing year : President, Mrs. Annie F. Wittenmeyer, of Pennsylvania; Vice Presidents, one from each Stale r -presented; Llecord ing Secretary, Mrs. Mary F. Johnston, N. Y.; Corresponding Secretary, Miss. Frances E. Williaid, Illinois; Treas urer, Mrs. W. A. Ingham, Ohio. These officers, with slight exceptions, retained their positions until 187!), when, whith other changes made, Miss VVilliard was President. She still holds the office, being re-elected last year, at Louisville, without a dis senting vote. The W. C. T. U., as now organized, consists of the N. U., with its auxillia ries of State, county or Congressional district, (some States being organized in one way and some in the other) and local unions. According to report at Ljuisyille, there are now 27 States, 2 Territories, and District of Columbia organized, with 1,670 local unions and a membership of 36.105 paying mem bers. Also unions in Australia, Sand wich Islands and Great Britian. The question now naturally arises, | why have the women of the land thus banded themselves together." 'Lhe preamble to the constitution of the N. \V. C. T. U. is as follows: "The Christian women of this nation, con scious of the increa-ing evils, and ap palled at the tendencies and dangers of j intemperance, believe it has become our duty, under the providence of God, ■ to unite our efforts for its extinction, j And the belief of the Penn'a W. C. T. j U. is: "The cause of temperance is the cause of God, and as such is one and indivisible. It is truth—scientific, moral and religious. It is not local, i but a genera! cause. It is above sect; it is above party. The evil to be rem- j edied is a common evil; the object to • be attaiued is a common good. Our j cause, as antagonistic to intemperance ; and all its hydra-headed evils, is noth-, ing less than the cause of humanity it self." And in their "platform" they i say : "In the prosecution of this work j we relv upon Divine assistance secured j through fervent, persistent and impor- : tunate prayer to Almighty God, offered : in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and with souls filled with love for souls. But faithful and consistent prayer must, as an inevitable result, be accompanied by efficient and organized work. ' Then, as a part of this great and graud organization, we are met here to day to review what we have done and form plans for future work. As our county has been but recently organized, a few words will suffice to tell what we have done. But we have done some thing—temperance has made some pro gress in our midst. Last wiuter Miss White lectured and organized unions at seven places, and in the early sum mer at Centreville. Efforts were made to have observed the "Day of Prayer" for temperance, in the "week of prayer." How far this succeeded we know not as no reports were sent to me. But we hope that many prayers ascended then along with those that were going up all over our land for blessings on our beloved cause. C. T. A. petitions were circulated throughout our county and those for women were numerously signed, show ing that part of our community is in favor of prohibition. As for the voters, I could get uo report of the number that sigued. Last spring five saloons (three at Saxonburg, one at Saxon Sta tion and one at Delano) were refused license on account of remonstrances sent to Court, signatures to which were mainly procured through the efforts of the women of the Presbyterian church es of Buffalo and Westminster. Thus has a little seed be sown, a few spots cultivated, but as we look around we see many fields growing full of the rank weeds of ignorance and iudifference and it is our duty to put our hands to the plow and go forth, in the strength which God will give us, to cultivate these barren wastes, sowing diligently the seeds of temperance in every place. And having once put our nauds to the plow, let us not look back, for Jesus has said that "no man having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is lit for the kingdom of God." The field first in importance is that of the children of our count}' who are to be trained in temperance ways. Acco:ding to an account I have seen wc have in our public schools over 13,- 000 pupils with over 300 teachers. How many of these teachers do we suppose are able to teach temperance as it should bo taught in our schools. Besides we have our Sunday schools where temperance lesson leaves should be used and "Hands ol Hope" organiz ed in both. The Literature Depar ment is one whose importance can scarcely be over-estimated The publi cations are suited to all classes and conditions of society. Thus briefly have we alluded to the departments of works which seem to us to bo those ill which we should be chiefiy engaged. In some localities there may be need for work in others. Some of the members of our Unions have seemed to think that, because there are uo sa loons in their neighborhood that there is no need of work or organization. Surely this is an error. Let them thank Clod that they have uo saloons and go to work to train the youth and tone up the sentiment of the community so that there will be no danger of sa loons in lhe future. Aud to this end 1 would urge that they warn their boys of the danger that lurks in the cider barrel, for undoubtedly many acquire their taste for alcoholic stimulants through the use of sweet cider. Let us then, gird us and with (Jod as our helper and the co-operation of His min isters, which we have had, conse crate ourselves anew to His service, counting no sacrifice too great tor Hint who has done so much for us, and when the last great day shall conte may it bo said to us, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto ine" Later accounts give the number of unions at .'J,OOO and members 75,000. EMZAHKTU 11. DAIN. Buffalo twp., Oct. I, 1883. The Devil or Ben Butler.

A number of speeches were made. The one which met the most favor was de livered bv Rev. J. W. Polk, pastor of the church in which the meeting was held, lie said in the course of bis re maks: ' The decision is an insult to the race.

When Luther reached his last birth day he was tired and sick at heart, and sick in body. In the summer of 1545 he had wished to retire to bis farm, but Wittenberg could uot spare him, and he cont : nued regularly to preach, llis sight to fail. In January, 1546, he !>egau a letter to a frieud, calling himself "old, speut-woru, weary, cold, ; end with but one eye to see with." Oa the 28th of that month he under took a journey to Eisleben, where he had been born, to compose a difference between the Counts Mansfeldt. He j caught a chill on the road, but he seem- ! ed to shake it off, and was able to at- 1 tend to business. He had fallen into ! the hands of lawyers, and the affair j went on but slowly. On the 14th of j February lie preached, and, as it turn- > ed out, for the last time, iu Eisleben j church. An issue in the leg, artificially | kept open to relieve his system, had j I been allowed to heal for want of proper i I attendance. He was weak and ex- ' : hausted after the sermon. He felt the 1 end near and wished to be with his i lamily. "I will go home," he said, "and get into my coffin, and give the worms a fat doctor." But wife aud home he was never to see again, and was to pass from off the earth at the same spot where his eyes were first opened to the light. On the 17th he had a sharp pain in his chest. It went off, however. He was at sup per in the public room aud talked with his usual energy. He retired, went to bed, slept, woke, prayed, slept ajjaiu ; then at midnight called his servant. "I feel strangely" he said, "I shall stay here; I shall neyer leave Eisleb en." He grew restless, rose, moved into an adjoining room and lay upon a sofa. His two sons were with him, with his friend Jonas. "It is death," he said ; "I am going; 'Father into Thy hands I commend my spirit.'" Jonas asked him if he would still stand by Christ and the doctrine which he hail preached. He said, "Yes." He slept once more, breathing quietly, but his feet grew cold. Between two and three in the morning he died. The body lay in btate for a day; a likeness was taken of him before the feature changed. A cast from the face was taken afterwards; the athlete ex pression gone, the essential nature of him—grave, tender, majestic—taking the place of it, as his own disturbed life appears now when it is calmed down into a memory. The elector, John Frederick, hurried to see him; Counts Mansfeldt jynded beside his body the controversies which he had come to compose On the 20th he was set on a car to be carried back to Wit tenberg, with an armed escort of caval ry. The people of Eisleben attended him to the gates. The church bells toiled in the villages along the road. Two days later he reached his last resting place at Wittenberg. Melaucth on cried after him as they laid him in the grave, "My Father, my Father! The chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof." His will, which is extremely charac teristic, had been drawn by himself four years before. He left his wife well provided for, aud because legal proceedings might be raised upon his marriage, he committed her to the special protection of the elector. Chil dren, friends, servants, were all remem bered. "Finally," he said, "seeing I do not use legal forms, I desire till men to take these words as mine. lam known openly iu heaven, 011 earth, aud in hell also; and I may be believed and trust ed better than any notary. To me a poor, unworthy, miserable sinner, God, the Father of mercy, has entrusted the gospel of his dear Son, and has made me therein true and faithful. Through my means mauy iu this world have re ceived the gospel, and hold me as a true teacher, despite of popes, em perors, kings, princes, priests, and all the devil's wrath. Let them believe me aleio iu the small matter of my iast will and testimony, this being written iu my owu hand, which otherwise is not known. Let it be understood that here is the earnest, deliberate meaning of Doctor Martin Luther, (iod's notary and witness in his gospel, confirmed by his own hand aud seal—January (>, 151 J." Nothing remains to be said. Phil osophic historians tell us that Luther succeeded because he came in the ful ness of time, because forces were at work which would have brought about the same changes if he had never been born. Somo changes there might have been, but not the same. The forces computable by philosophy can destroy, but cannot create. The false spiritual despotism which dominated Europe would have fallen from its own hollownees. But a lie may perish, and no living belief may rise again out of the ruins. A living belief can rise only out of a believing' human saul, and that any faith, any piety, is alive now in Europe, even in the Roman church it self, whose insolent hypocrisy be humbled into shame is due in a large measure to the poor miner's son who was born in a Saxon yillage 100 years "g'»- M AKIiIiJK N \'A J L K Y—HIIK A RSTON K—On Oct. 22, :it Philadelphia, Pa., l>y Rev.
