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.

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.
As a large portion of the readers of
the CITIZEN are farmers, and as many
of them may not he taking an agricul
tural paper, we moke the following
proposition: To all in arrears on their
subscription accounts and who pay up
the same between this aud the first of
January coming, 1884, we will cause
to be seut to them FIIEE the American
Farmer, a large 10 page monthly agri
cultural magazine, the subscription
price from the publishers of which is
$1 per year.
The American Farmer is one of the
best agricultural publications. It i 3
devoted exclusively to the farming,
stock raising, gardening and household
interests. Each number will contain
useful information for the farmer, his
wife, his sons and his daughters.
We extend the same offer to all sub
scribers who, being paid up, shall pay
a year's subscription in advance. All
have, therefore, an opportunity to get
FREE a good agricultural paper. These
offers should be accepted not later than
in December.
