BUTLER CITIZEN IOTN H. & W. C. NEG'.EY, PROP'RS Enteredl a' the Pottoffict at Jhiller us second-clc.gss matter. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 21. 1883. OWING to the crowded State of our columns we h ve hid either to cut down or entirely omit many matters this week. MAJOR A M BROWN, of Pittsburgh, has been engaged as one of the conn" sel for young Jus. Nutt. Senator Yoorbees, of Indiana, it is stated, wili also assist in bis defence. The trial takes place at the coming December term of the Fayette county Court. LAST week was noted for its storms, gales, snow and bail on the lakes and all along the northern part of the United States and Canada. Many vessels were wrecked and many lives lost. Tha weather was very cold for this time in the year, the thermometer in some places in the Northwest being down to zero. In this section, and in_ fact over most of the country, the weather was unusually cold during the week. On Sunday of this week the Fun again made its life-giving appear ance and at present it looks as if we were to have some more fine weather yet. _____ THE LEGISLATURE. The Question of Paying Them selves. The only question that seems to be left for consideration by the members of this Legislature is the one of paying themselves. . The following is some account of the proceedings as gathered from the daily reports of last week : EAGER FOR THEIR MONEY. HARRISBLRO, NOV. 14.—The consid eration of the Legislative appropriation bill in the House to-day was attended by much confusion. The members were generally in a happy mood and Speaker Kauuce allowed them to have much more string than usual. Rep resentative Hasson called up the pay bill and Representative Bierer, Demo crat, was promptly on his feet with an amendment to reduce the amount al lowed Senators from $91,182 to !?50,- 000 and to strike out the item of $3,- 207 for mileage. He thought the Sen ators should be paid only for days ac tually in session and that no mileage should be allowed, owing to the fact that the extra session was called on the day of the adjournment of the regular session. Both of Bierer's propositions were defeated, amid a storm of "Nos." Representative Bierer proposed an amendment cutting down the amount appropriated for payment of members of the House from $366,050 to $267,- 330, which amount, he said, would pay members for days actually in session The amendment received no encourage ment and was voted down with a rush. WIIFN TIIE PAY IS SURE THEN THE HOUSE WILL VOTE TO ADJOURN. UAEBISBUEG, NOV. IC.—ln anticipa tion of a vote on the Legislative Ap propriation bi'l the session of the House this morning was largely attended. Owing to the deiay in printing this important bill a short recess was taken. On reconvening the House made quick work of the hill. No disposition was made to discuss its merits, and the Speaker promptly put the vote on final p&csap-e. TLo yeus were 132 and the nays 10. Nicholson, of Jefferson, called up the resolution on final adjournment on the sth ult. The vote by which it passed having been reconsidered lust evening, the rt>; ilution sustained a crushing de feat—yea 3 2G, nays 108—and it will not be revived again in the House un til the members nre sure of getting their pay. The Appropriation bill was promptly .messaged to the Senate, and referred tfc the Committee on Appro priations in that body. Sutton offered a resolution allowing the Senate no pay beyond September 10, in accord ance with the resolution vetoed by the Governor. The Sutton resolution was referred to the Appropriations Commit tee, only five Senators voting with the author against the motion to refer. The resolution of the House for the re vival of the Congressional, Senatorial and Representative Apportionment Committee was postponed The Re publicans voted "aye" and Democrats "no." The customary Friday adjourn ment was had in both Houses. Oakland Township Items. MESSRS. EDITORS :—As I have not seen [anything in your paper lately from Oakland township, I will endeav or to give you some of the news. The farmers are progressing as u«ual, have nearly all the fail work done und are prepared for winter. We are jHad to hear of Mr. Jacob 11. Reiser moving back to Butler county, and starting a otoreat Woodbine. We wish him success. Mr. Add Gold sold the farm he purchased from J. 11.

Mr. Findley Balpb has made the raise o! a iii w boy, but it happened to be one of Reiser's kind. Hum: n Neyman still directs his steps towards Mr. Wintersteen's occa sionally. VERLS DKENS. Thanksgiving Day. Governor I'attison has issued his proclamation n, < ing Thursday, Nov ihe i'".!) i'ts-t, a day of thanksgiving a.t)d prayer. '1 Lis is the same day ncm mended by the President of the United States fur the same purpose, in which the Governors of all the States have co.vnrred, as is their cus tom to do annually. JUDITH ELLEN FOSTER. The lowa Woman Orator to be in Butler Friday Evening. This distinguished woman is to be in Butler on Friday eve. con.iDg, 23d, and deliver a free lecture iu the Court House. This will be a rare treat to our citizens. Mrs. Foster occupies at i present a greater space in the minds of the people of the United States than , perhaps any other woman. She is j said to be remarkable able as a speaker on the question o'f Const-tutional ; Amendment to the liquor traffic. She 1 is the author of the Amendment that the voters of lowa have twice ratified and now have in the Constitution of that State. The great object she has in view, with her great eloquence and ability iu advocating it, draw to her ( meetings immence audiences. The following notices from leading j journals in some of the largest cities of I the country, vhere Mrs. Foster hns j spoken, will give our readers an idea of j the high estimate placed upon btr j powers and her eloquence : The New \ ork Herald says oi her lecture in that city : "At Cooper In stitute Mrs. Foster's jiddress was de livered in a simple and unaflected man ner, and was interspersed with so many witticisms of a true; western flavor, that her hearers were divided between laughter and applause." The Fitchburg, Mass., Standard, says : "Mrs. Foster, who is a practic ing lawyer, is an eloquent speaker, and there is a sort of western breeziness and whole-heartedncss about her that is most pleasant. The lecture was a treat to all who heard it and was full of sound argument and effective plead irwr " t?' , i A r The Louisville Post says: "Mrs. Judith Ellen Foster, of lowa, who lectured at Masonic Temple and at several of the churches yesterday, is the most gifted woman orator ever beard in Louisville. She is not only a clear and logical speaker but her wit is posi tively brilliant." The Rockville, Conn., Press says: "The lecture of Mrs. Foster was a masterpiece, Constitutional Prohibition the theme. There was invulnerable logic, acute discrimination, scientific induction, by which her argument soon began to appear as a kind of solemn presence, rolling up and up, till it came down with a crash of annihilation on everything in its way. It was strong, great ar.d statesmanlike. And above all, harmonizing her great gifts and en riching them all in a sweet Christian spirit On the whole she is a remark able woman, doiucr a remarkable work." The Dayton, Ohio, Journal says: "Mrs. Foster is a lady of rare attain ments and decided abilities and her ideas are couched in neat, forcible language. She speaks entirely ex tempore, and does so with an ease that harmonizes with a facile and effective expression." The opinions of various other papers, in places'whieh Mrs. Foster has visited, could be given, but the above will suffice to show who she is, her object and her reputation as a speaker. Col. Quay's Opinion. Col. M. S. Quay in referring to the late election in this State gives the fol lowing as his opinion as to how suc cess was obtained and bis advice as to the future : ''The Independent Republicans," continued Quay, "did noble service in the late contest and they are entitled to hearty acknowledgment for their share in the victory. They polled their vote even better than did the regulars, * * * :: * * The Independents are now fairly and fully inside the parly again; tbey will re tnaiu there as long as ihe party tie serve their support, and when the party doesn't deserve the support of the whole party, it must be beaten." The Institute. The sixteenth general meeting of the school teachers of this county was call ed to order by Prof. Murtland on Mon day afternoon of last week, and an organization effected by electing Messrs. Enos McDonald and G. K. Balph Vice Presidents, and L. Mc- Qowan and J. C. lticketts, Secretaries. S. F. Bowser, Esq, delivered bis ad dress of welcome, to which responses were made by Mr Knos McDonald and Miss Jennie Criswell. The addresses and the responses were all of unusual merit, and elicited hearty and continu ous applause. We have not space this week lor the long and dry programme that has been furnished us, but will say that excellent addresses were made and instruction given during the sessions of the Institute, Professors Houck, Ogden, Grumbine, Little, Murtland, Mackey, Logan, Bancroft and Itodgers, Messrs. McDonald, Ilicketts Shanoi, Morrow, McKinney, Ilusseli, Thomas, Camp bell, Weigel aud Coovert, and Misses Cochran and Elliott. Vocal and instrumental music was furnished by Prof. Itodgers, Prof. Harper, Mrs. Hervey, Miss Irvine, John Irvine, MissesTillie Riddle, Lida Marshall, Annie Feidler, May Ander son, Mary Maxwell and Lena Croup, Messrs. Rodenbaugh, John Shanor, John Brandon and A. W. Hays. The number of teachers enrolled was 209, and although this is not as large a number as was enrolled last year, the ! Institute was the most successful and interesting ever held in Butler. Prof. Houek, Deputy State Sup't., and who was the life of the Institute, said he never heard or taw at on Institute, better work done by home talent, and a better blending of home and foreign talent. He also complimented the management very highly and said that our Institute equalled in every partic ular those of the large eastern counties. At the teachers informal meeting on Friday morning Mr. Shanor announc ed that the teachers of the southwest ern part of the county would bold a ! local Institute at Evans City on the 22d of December next. IHRKCTOKS MEET I N<l Thirty-three Directors of the county were present at their meeting on «Ved nesday afternoon. An organization was effected, Prof. Houck addressed the meeting, and a discussion ensued which ended in the directors deciding to effect a prrruanent organization, to be known as the School directors Asso-1 ciation of Butler county. Hon. A. L Campbell was chosen President; ltev. J. W. Alspach, Vicej President, and F. M. Eastman, Secre tary, to serve for one year from tbis dite or until the close of the next Teachers' Institute. On motion it was resolved that the County Superintend ent be requested to make provisions for the School Directors of the county to have one full half day's time of the Annual County Teachers' Institute, commencing at 1 o'clock I". M On motion an executive committee of five was appointed to select and assign topics for discussion at next meeting. The Chair made the following ap- ; pointments: F. M. Eastman, Cha:r-' man; lie v. J. W. Alspach, Fairview j borouuh: Jos. llartman. Donegal twp.; j Jesse Cornelius, Brady twp ; Dr. A. j V. Cunningham, Zelienople. On mo tion resolved that the members of the . di ill rent School Boards be invited to j suggest topics for discussion to the Ex- ; ecotive Committee. On motion ad journed to meet at the call of the Exe cutive Committee. The Burned Town Shenandoah, which was vi.-itcd by lire , last Monday week with such disastrous j effect, is the second largest town in : Schuylkill county, Pa., having a pop ulation variously estimated from 11,- 000 to 13,000 inhabitants. The town is situated twelve miles north of Potts ville, on a hill. It is regularly laid out and extends over a large area. The streets of the town are all wide. It is one of the most important coal towns iu the State and likewise thriving in its bnsiuess, fully $150,000 being paid out to the miners every month. The town has grown so rapidly and the emigrants have flocked thither in such number that no time could be spared in erect ing other than frame buildings. The brick structures there were so few and far between as to be almost of no im portance. The pavements were made of heavy planks. The numerous alleys which run through the town were close ly occupied with tenement houses, where Poles and Hungarians were huddled together, in many cases in dis gusting filth. The water supply has always failed at this season of the year." The water mains were too small by half for a town of the size, which, of course, proved a great barrier in lighting the flames of Monday. Shen andoah about noon Monday contain ed, besides a good class of stores and dwellings, six hotels, two founderies, sixteen churches, of various denomina tions, twenty-seven public schools, a high school, one theatre and two good halls. The fire has caused such great destruction of property that it will be some time before it will come up to its standpoint as a flourishing borough. To Subscribers in Arrear.
