BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. K W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS Entered at the Postoffice at Butler Mr second-clc.sss matter. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 6, 1884. MEETING OF THE REPUBLI CAN COUNTY COMMITTEE. The members of the Republican County Committee are hereby request ed to meet in Butler on Tuesday, March 4, 1884, at 1 o'clock P. M , for the purpose of fixing the dates for holding the primary elections required to be held in the county this year, and for the transaction of such other busi ness as may properly come before the Committee. By order JAMES BARR, Chairman Co. Com. Butler, Feb. 5, 'B4. WINDELL Pmr.LiPs, the distin guished orator and scholar of Massachusetts, is dead. THK weather I? at present rather mild,the snow going away gradually, and sledding and sleighing continuing pretty good. There were as much as CO degrees difference in the temperature of the mornings of Saturday 26th and Tuesday 2U of January. IT will be twflvejears from this time before all our county officers are again elected in a Presidential year. An election for president comes every four years, and conntv offices are held but for three years. This year's election will therefore in many respects be more important and interesting than any for twelve years to come. Thomas in a Tempest. Our effort to give the Republicans of this county a knowledge of their rights, relative to having delegates in the coming State and National Con" ventlons, baa stirred up the rage of Mr. Thomas Robinson. We can not account for hie column long editorial in last week's Eagle only on the ground that we have succeeded in di recting attention to certain political matters that he hoped were not known» or would be overlooked. Although in nearly all the Republican counties around, and in fact all through the State, there was discussion goiug on in the press as to the importance of early action this year by County Com mittees, yet the Eagle was very quiet' bad never a word on the subject- Why? Simpty because Mr. Thomas Robinson is at his old tricks. It has now come to light that he has been writing letters and importuning mem bers of the PRESENT County Commit tee in favor of a certain person aB a delegate to the National Chicago Con vention, while he knows at the same time that the present County Commit tee has no power to make any such selection. The National rule now in force, seen in another place, expressly providos for Conventions of the Re publican voters to do that, and in no way or manner recognizes a County Committee doing it. But the County Committee can provide for the man ner of holding a Convention. And this is why an early meeting of our County Committee was suggested. Not to elect any delegates—and not for the Chairman of it to fix a time for a primary, as falsely stated by Mr. Robinson, but for the Chairman simply to call the Committee together, as al ready done in other neighboring coun ties, for the parpose of taking action in these matters. In Armstrong, Venan go, Mercer, Crawford, Erie and other oounties, the County Committees have already been called to meet—and the time is fixed in some of them for the election of the delegates to the State Convention. What was the necessity of this? Simply because the date tor holding tbe National Convention, June 3, and the State Convention, April 16, had been fixed and all political affairs this year had to work up to those dates Hence, it became a very important question in this and other counties as to whether one or two primary meet ings should be held. If all, to wit, the election of delegatus and the nomina tion of the County ticket, conld be accomplished at one and the same time, and thus "two birds with one stone" secured, why all favored it. And al though the State Convention is fixed for the early date of April 16, yet the Venango County Republican Commit tee met and agreed to hold their regular primary, for selecting their county tick et, on April 5, so that at that date they coald also elect their delegates to the State Convention in time for the meet of that body, April 16. And this is tho question that will now come before our County Committee when it does meet But if its meeting was delayed to in April, as Mr. Robinson says it might b«, then the argument would lie put forth that it was "too late," and tbe at tempt made to rob the Republicans of this county of the right of electing their delegates to tbe State Convention of this year, as they elected them last year. Whether this is the object will soon be revealed In this connection the February spring election was sug gested as a time for electing delegates. Some members of the County Commit mittee thought this idea a good one. There wero some difficulties ia the way of that time, but Mr. Robinson was tbe only mau beard of using tbe argument that the Democrats might vote at it. He eeems to be very much afraid of Dfrnocri'ts this year, while last year he was conspiring with Dern otrftts to stir nj> *Vrif>u a rfcligftutf question. And as to bis Republican ism, all know what he did the year before last to defeat some of our coun ty ticket, Mr. Braham for Assembly, for instance. Nor have they forgotten his double dealing in the Grant-Greeley campaign of 1872, when the hairy hand was one way, Grant, and the voice and body of the Eagle the other way, Greelev. We have no desire to revive his past record. It has been, ■•nd is yet, crooked, sinuous and eva j sive. In eight out of nine times, when before the people, they have rejected him. Of all men we know of, silence would best become him. He is the last man who should be questioning the motives of others. While many for some time past have been endeav oring to secure harmony in the party the paper he controls has and is seek ing to keep up division and discord. If evil results follow from this to the party in this county, this fall, the re sponsibility for it is already fixed. In telligent men, born and raised in the county, have some self-respect, and will not be further humiliated. Mr. Robinson will find that it is not a "single individual" only that detests his elimy ways We have gone out of the way and farther than we should to obtain peace and harmony in the party, and if all efforts in that direction fail he will find that places that know him now will soon know him no more. All this dragging in of the J udgeship— about which he seems to be haunted just now—is mere bosh. On this and other things he is a crank. It has nothing to do with the election or se lection ol delegates to the State and National Conventions and need not have. He need not be a doubting i'homas on that. Suspicious men are generally the designing ones Every bush is an officer to them. They flee when no one pursues. In this case our respected, straightforward and manly "contemporary" was unnecessa rily frightened. It was the case of another tempest in a tea-pot. We re gret that we BO ruffled his otherwise good nature and looks. But we hope be will not take up his shillalah any more. This is a free country and the native born have some rights which— we were almost saying—even an Irishman was bound to respect. Let him "look up," like a man, not down continually. Let him speak out, not well, it is no difference—that, per haps, is not an "an-a-10-go-us case Committee Meeting, By notice in another place it will be seen that the Republican County Com mittee hasbeen called to meet on Man;b 4th, for the purpose of fixing the times for the primary elections .Two primary elections will probably be necessary, under present rules—one to elect dele gates to the Republican State Conven tion that meets at Harrisburg on April 16, and one to nominate the county ticket. This will be necessary, unless onetime, previous to April 16, is fixed upon for both purposes. Delegates to State Conventionale present rule says shall be "elected in the manner that members of the Assembly are nominat ed." And as the coming State Con vention is on April 16, they, the dele gates to it must be elected prior to that time. The County Committee when it meets can fix a date prior to April IC, for both purposes and thus accomplish both at the same time. This has been done already in other counties. It would make an earlier nomination of the county ticket than usual, but so far as we have heard an expression of opinion on the subject, from candidates and the people, all seem to think the earlier the primary the better this year. HON. M. S is clearly what, in times past, some Democratic statesmen were called, a "strict constructionist.'" His construction of the National rule, for the selection from Congressional districts of delegates to the National Convention, reminds one of the logic of reductio ad absurdvm, reduced to an absurdity, or lather to nothing. Under his construction there could not well be any selection by the Republicans of a district of said delegates. The rule would seem to be made to defeat rather than promote that. While he is un doubtedly right that committees can not appoint said delegates, and that no conferees from committees as such can intervene, yet if the conferees come from a convention of delegates chosen for that purpose, in each county of a district, that would be a complying with the rule. The intent of the rule doubtless was to have the delegates of a district chosen in about the same manner a candidate for Cougreas is nominated in it, and this is geoerally by conferees, representing county con ventions, each county of a district meet ing separately and in its own way. To require all the counties of a district to meet at the same time and elect del. gates direct, to a great mass district convention, would be impracticable and defeat the very object intended So that, uuless the rule was made ou the principle of "how not to do it," we think Mr. IJuav's construction of it en tirely too fine, if not absurd. It is the letter that killeth. In this case the object was to give (he people the right to choose their delegates to National Conventions, and if they have the op portunity given them they will do so. The habeas corpus proceedings in stituted in the Allegheny county courts to secure the release of John Smith, of Cherry township, were dis missed by Judge Kirkpatrirk last Mon day. No opinion was filed but the court indicated the court here or the Supreme Court was the proper tribunal fc» btowr UtfertJwt* : Resolutions Passed By the Catho- j lie T. A. Union of the Archdio cese of Chicago First Annual Convention. The following resolutions shov the progress making in this country on the temperance question. They are taken from ''The Union Siynal ' of Chicago, ; of January 31: Resolved, That we regard drunken ness as a vice the laws of; Goi and the dictates of reas-onj We also consider it an enemy to religion, | a foe to humanity,and we are convinced j it tends to the subversion of every principle of good government Resolved, That we are fully convinced that this vice owes its prevalence to erroneous ideas regarding the use and sale of intoxicating liquors, whereby private habits are formed and public customs established favoring and encouraging the evil Resolved, That in our judgment the remedy is: a correct sentiment as to nature and tendencyjof alcoholic drinks, the practice of total abstinence from motives of religion and humanity, and a system of righteous laws co-operating with moral influences for the overthrow of this enemy to God and man. Resolved, That we reaffirm the three resolutions of the National Convention at Brooklyn which declare: "That we deplore the conduct of those who, through selfish motives or cowardly silence, have failed to denouuee this vice and its abettors." Resolved, That it is a dire calamity to intrust the management of public affairs and the making of laws for the common good of the whole community to unprincipled men who hold office at the good will of liquor dealers. Such men deserve severe condemnation, be cause they heed not the sufferings of widows and orphans made destitute by drunkards and drunkard-makers 5 be cause they did not construct suitable legislative safeguards along the worn and beaten track of human crime and miserv that leads from the doors of low saloons to the jail and poor-house. Resolved, That Catholic total ab stainers and advocates of temperance shall fearlessly perform their duties as citizens by public protest against laws calculated to foster intemperance. Resolved, That we denounce saloon keeping as au odious occupation. It is one of ruin to the bright hopes of youth and the peace of old age. The saloon keeper helps to rob childhood of its de lights. Ilis poison steals the laugh from the lips of innocence, the bloom from the cheek of manhood. The sound of his liquid poison as it gurgles down the throat of the inebriate echoes through many a desolate household as the hissing of a thousand serpents. Resolved, That we look with horror upon the apathy of an enlightened peo ple who intrust the reins of authority and of government to men who hold their caucuses around a saloon counter and make their appointments to public offices at the bidding of saloon keepers. Pesolved, That we rely for success on the Sacraments of the church, on the influence and example of pledged abstainers, and on a vigorous use of those educating agencies which mold and direct public santinjept—the press, the platform and pulpit. Resolved, That in the name of re ligion and civilization we appeal to the press to publish such facts and truths as will direct public attention to the evil of intemperance and its causes, as necessary tor the well-being of society. We recommend the holding of public meetings to discuss temperance priucw pies and thi disseminating of temper ance literature as essential auxiliaries in educating public sentiment favorable to temperance, and we beseech the clergy, in the name of our holy religion and for the sake of immortal souls, to present the claims of this great cause whenever and wherever occasion way offer. Resolved, That we strongly recom mend the formation of Cadet societies whenever possible, as on youth rests the hope of society, and in their sym pathy and hearty co-operation wjlj be found the life and maintenance of the union. Resolved, That the claims of the Catholic faith are such that all good Catholics shouH feel their religion de manded they should lead in this tem perance movement. The world ex pects it, humanity urges it. a burdened country pleads for it. Fritind, aimjrpd, home and loved ones, God and Heaven, all beckon us onward to the struggle. Resolved, That the officers of the local societies are urged, between this day and the time of the next General Convention, on July 13, to make a uo ble and gallant struggle to increase the membership of their societies to much greater proportion. Let there be no local jealousies. Let the best men stand ut the helm. The field is big enough for all. Intemperance is still do ing its fell work among our brethren in race and religion. Let every take the Demon Alchohol by the throat and shake off this deadly hold on our people. In every parish where there is a T, A. society, let the fair form of Tem perance rise, like the anirel of the resur rection clothed in raiment whiteas snow and let its influence grow and expand, widen and develop till the whole com munity is leavened by it.

Call and secure bargains, at OFF A SINKING BRIDGE. Six Persons Drowned in White River or Burned Alive. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.—The south bouud accommodation train on tbe ; Indianapolis & Chicago Air Line, due bere at 10:30 this morning, met with a I terrible accident when seven mile* frcm this city at Broad Ripple. A th> t point the railway crosses the White River on a trusstbridge of two spans, each 150 feet in length. The ennueer had gone to the baggage car for a drink of water, and thu locomotive was in charge of the fireman. When the | locomotive reached the center of the bridge the fireman felt the structure sinking. He hjd a band on the throt tle, wbich he opened, giving the loco motive all the available steam. The engine sprang forsvard With great force, breaking tee couplings between the tender and baggage car. The locomotive kept the traok but the baggage and smoking cars and an other coach dropped through and were piled up in a mass at the foot of the piers, the smoking car being partially telescoped on to tbe baggage car. The wreck wa= partially submerged, but the portion above water lmmedi atelv took fire from the stoves. The fireman states that when he looked back, when tbe locomotive reached tbe south end of the bridge, the cars were on fire and smoke was obscuring the scene- News of the wreck reached this city in a short time, and a wrecking train with surgeons and other assistance was at once made up and sent to Broad Ripple On reaching the wreck a chaotic scene was presented. The bridge aud cars were yet burning, and those present were so lacking iu pres ence of mind as to be unable to extin guish the flames or afford any relief to the sufferers. The officials of the road went to work vigorously and systematically, and in a short time the fire was extin guished and tbe search for the bodies begun. Six persons were either killed outright or burned to death. The re covered were burned and charred beyond recognition, being horribly mutilated, and tbe only means of inden tification was the finding of incombus tible trinkets known to be the property of the dead men. A Strange Story. One of the best known ladieß of the Sheuaudoah Valley, \ a., has turned out to be a man. Miss Elizabeth Re becca Payne, daughter of the late Joseph Payne, seven miles from Win chester, who has lived for thirty-eight years as a lady, suddenly avowed her self to be, a few days since, a man and startled J. P. Reilly, clerk of the coun ty courts, by applying for a license to marry u Misß Hinton, who had resided in the Payne family as a domestic. The lady who fired tbe heart of Mr. Payne with such passion as to compel him to throw off the habit of a lifetime aud declare bis sex is prepossessing and forty years of age. The strange affair has caused a decided sensation in Sheuaudoah valley and nothing else is talked about. Payne was brought up as a girl- No onp ever questioned his sex, aud bis own avowal that be was a man took away the breath of the cum munity. Elizabeth Rebecca Payne was one of a family of six daughters j was brought up as a woman, and was admitted into the best society in com pany with the other members of the family. He was always regarded as a somewhat masculiue girl, hut no one ever suspected he was a man. lie was a most graceful and dashing eques trienne, and always challenged admira tion as he frequently rode into Win chester with bis habit and somewhat long hair trailing iu the wind. He was oue of tbp most widely kuown ladies iu the valiey. In addition to good birth and inherited acres he de veloped remarkable business talent for a woman when reverses in the family fortune rendered it necessary for some oqe to put a shoulder to the wheel. His sisters vyepe distinguished for their culture aud personal charts, atuj fceyeral of them married prominent gon tlemen. Ilebecca Payne demoted birosclf to the of a (arm and to the superviHton of a store which he had es tablished at Rest, where he also held the »ppojptg)ent of postmistress. He also dealt in cattlfc iiad borsps and be came an expert in that way. Ail his enterprises prospered and he has ac quired considerable wealth. Determin ing to marry he threw off bis dresses and applied for a license from the court at Winchester, buttho aatani3bed p|erk, who, like everybody else, knew him as a woman, declined to issue a license for a woman to marry a woman. When Payne proved his real sex by producing the certificate of Dr. P. W. Maguire, of Winchester, the license was stil) refused on the ground that Virginia li»w uompels a itjan to have givon names which show bid so* bt-'furg bo can act as a man before the law. Payne then determined to have his name changed at the March term of circuit court, which wili meet on the 9rat proximo. The affair is a nine days' wonder in the Shenandoah and has created more excitement than any event which has disturbed the social circles of the State for half a ceutury, No explanation has been offered as to why he has masqueraded so long as a woman. Humor has it that Pavno aud his sweetheart went to West \ irginia yesterday and were married, but this Jacks confirmation. Case of Ksijuire fcjmitb. The Pittsburg Chronicle- Telegraph of Monday last contains the following : The habeas corpus proceedings insti tuted to procure the release of John Smith, of Butler county, who is now i confined in the Western Penitentiary [ uua'er -JDtppcp for perjury, was to-day dismissed by Judge «Irkj,fttrjpjr, at the petitioner's costs, and an order made remanding the prisoner. The dis charge of Smith was asked for on the ground that his incarceration began in iK'peijfber, to run for one year, which would make hid l»rj}j expire between the l. r >th of November aua the J6th qf February, between which dateH an a<LE CO.,] MICH., .IAN 24 1884. EDITOR ClT'ZKN:—Perhaps soiue of the people in Butler County would j like to hear about this part of the coun try. I have not been here loug, arrived on the 20th of last month und foui d myself iu a very new country. There i are only about forty families here and ' all but three of them have come within , tbe last five years However, they » have the neoes.-ary degree of en°r y and are rapidly cleariu# up their farms j and making roads. Tbere are three j schools iu this settlement, oue taught by a former graduate of Princeton, one by a graduate of the Michigan State Normal School and tbe third by a lady from Cheboygan. Wages from $32 to S4O per month, terms from six to eit*bt months. Tbere is a Presbyterian church in process of organization, your correspondent having been seat here bv the Presbyterian Board of Do mestic Missions for that purpose at the request of a committee of the people. So much for Eductional and Religious advantages. The soil is a mixture of clay and sand with a limestone base, and cannot be surpassed for wheat, even by tbe limestoue soil of Pennsylvania. All the other crops do well. The cli mate averages cold in the winter, al though not subject to such extremes as the climate of Pennsylvania. The total variations iu this month so far has been from 3i above to 24 1 elow, or 56- in all, which is less than I have seen it in Butler in one day. When that cold wave passed over the country on the sth of January, registeriug 32' three hundred and fifty miles south of here, it was only 5 C bere This morn ing, however, it was 24-, the coldest weather thus far and we are beginning to tbiuk it can get as cold here as in any other well regulated country. We had about a foot of snow fall iu the be ginning of January and we have had about three inches since making the best of sleighing. Last winter there was considerably more but not ao much as on the Lake Michigan shore. The timber is Maple, Beech, Birch, Bass wood or Lynn, Poplar, Cedar, Hem lock, Pine, Elm &c. We need mills badly. There are some grand water powers which will be worth thousands of dollars lying idle, one ou the Rainy River which has a fall of thirty feet, good for ten mouths iu the year; another on the Black which will give a fall of twenty feet, but with a volume of water sufficient to run half a dozen mills all the time. The people offer that if any one will erect mills they will help with teams, work and money to the amount of several buudred dol lars and taka it out in sawing. There are some valuable quarries here, or at least they will bo valuable as soon as we get a Railroad, which will be before long. Tbe stone is limestone. A great many t}eer are killed here every winter, or rather fall, and there is good fishing in tbe Lake. We are just south of Cheboygan Lake (a lake sevtn miles long and four miles wide) and about a mile east of the Cheloygan couuty lino. Respectfully yours. WATSON J. YOI.NO. MAKKlttl).
