BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. 4 »7 C. NEGIEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Poxtoffice at Butler MS gecond-clcs*s matter. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27, 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 bo 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. "THE announcement that Cameron ia for Logan for President," says the West Chester Jieiublican, "will not improve that gentleman's chances for the nomination. Pennsylvania might vote for Logan after Blaine, but don t want to do so to please Cameron or any other boss." IN Lawrence county a vote was taken at the spring election, 19th inst, on the question of having a poor house in that county, and resulted as follows: For poor house 1320; against, 2012, thus defeating the measure. WE have yet to see the first county in the State that even thought of vio lating the rule requiring delegates to State Conventions to be elected by the people. They all recognize the rule as a good and binding one, for one year the same as another. THE New York Orapic says: There ia a Blaine boom in Pennsylvania. Mr. Blaine is undoubtedly the king of Re publican statesmen, and as he is a strong protectionist besides, the "boys" of the Keystone State are attached to him with hooks of nteel. But there is indeed a boom for Mr. Blaine in every Republican locality. THE News-Register, Youngtown, 0., sent 500 postals to different parties in Mahoning county asking their choice for President. It received 440 an swers, 870 of them for Blaine; 19 for Lincoln; 17 each for Logan and Ed munds, 11 for General Sherman 2 for Harrison and 1 each for Grant, Arthur, John Sherman and McKinley. PRO*. H. W. ROTH, President of Thiel College, Greenville, Pa., preach ed in the English Lutheran Church of this place last Sunday morning and eveaing. Quite a number of our citi zens, other than members of the church, were present to bear him, and had it been more generally known we have no doabt a still greater number would have been present. Prof. Roth is one of the most eloquent and scholarly speakers of the day. His sermons laßt Sunday were exceedingly able and listened to with much interest. National Delegates. Last week we referred to the fact that Crawford,one of the counties com posing this Congressional district, will at her Republican Primary on April 8, elect conferees to meet with Butler acid Mercer counties for the purpose of ehoosing the two delegates this district is entitled to in tbe coming Chicago Convention. In deciding to elect said Conferees at their primary our Craw ford friends show a determination to closely follow and carry out the first provision of the National rule. They go down to the source of all power— the people. This can never be wrong. In the Journal of that county,of last week, inquiry is made as to what But ler and Mercer counties are doing in the matter. The Journal says, "Now let Mercer and liutler counties choose their delegates to a district conven tion." There is a strong feeling in this county te have such a district con vention. Our County Committee meets next Tuesday, March 4, and as there must be a primary to elect tbe State delegates to the State Conven tion of April 16, the people can also vote for and choose conferees for tbe selec tion of tbe two National delegates, in similar manner to Crawford. Or, con ferees can be chosen at tbe convention assembled to count the vote cast on and for the State delegates. This, as we hare said heretofore, would be a com pliance with the National rule, as those delegates would Bpring from "popular, delegate county conventions held in the district.'' And if our primary for the election of delegates to the State Con vention, or the primary at. which they may be chosen, is not put at a later date than the Crawford one, April 8, there will still be time between April 8 and 16 to meet the Crawford con ferees, at which conference no doubt Mercer county would be represented or give consent to. The home rule or popular branch of the National rule would thus be carried out, which is better than the other branch of the rule allowing the Rtafr delegates to name the National ones at Ilarrieburg. The popular will would thus lie carried di rect from this district to the Chicago National Convention. No opportunity would be given for altering or man ipulating at Hnrrisburg. Our two delegates to the National Convention would be instructed at home and know who our people want for President. Mercer and Butler counties having had the two delegates four year ago, 1880, of course one, of them now should be conceded to Crawford county, and the other one to either Mercer or Butler, and the Presidential elector to 1 either one of these latter that does not recrtvtr« ddffifttiv Electing Slate Delegates We have taken care to give the Re publican voters of this county a full knowledge of their rights respecting the election of delegates to State Con ventions. We have published the present State rale on the subject, and again publish it this week. All we have been contending for is the observ ance of this rule. It was secured, as we have stated heretofore, after a long contest with central machine manage ment at Harrisburg. It was approved and adopted by our County Commit tee of last year. May 12, 1883. It was practiced upon last year at our primary election, when Judge Storey and Mat thew X. Greer, Esq., were elected our delegates to the State Convention of last year. Whether these delegates shall be elected this year ut the same primary at which our county ticket is nominated, or whether they shall be chosen at a special primary for that purpose only, remains for the action of our present County Committee meet ing of next Tuesday. But in either case they must be elected by the republi can voters of the county. It is no ar gument to say, that the voters will not turn out and attend to the matter. That is an insult to the Republicans of this county But whether the turn out would be small or great, big or little, that is the people's business, and on them will rest the responsibility, where it rightfully belongs. No man, or set of men, can assume to be the guardians of the people, or set them selves up to save the "poor people" from trouble in enjoying their most dear rights. Equally insincere is it to say, "that the weather is generally bad and the roads muddy, etc., in March and April." The roads in the coming March and April may be asgood as in May. And it is well.knownthat the farmers, and in fact all others, are as busily employed in May as in any other month of the year. Corn ground has to be prepared and corn planting and plowing done in May. It is just the month farmers don't want to be disturbed while at their work by can didates. This all know by experience. This year, from all we hear, the Repub lican voters prefer an early primary for the nomination of the county ticket, and wish the matter over as soon as possible, like as done in other counties- It will be better for candidates and peo ple. It will save candidates much ex pense and anxiety. It will be as fair for one candidate as for another. They will have more than a month to canvass the county if the primary comes off in April. And no candidate needs more than that, time. Nor could he well put in more than that amount of time. The men that would be nominated in May or June would very likely be the ones who would have been nominated in April. So that, considered in any light it may, it will be equally fair to all to have the primary in April this year, besides saving candidates much expense and anxiety, and the people much unnecessary solicitation. In surrounding counties they have already fully considered the subject and have generally resolved on early primaries this year. They will have as muddy roads and as bad weather to contend with there as we may have here, and as the Republicans of other counties have not objected we do not belieye our Republicans will. Besides, we have railroads now by which nearly all purts of the county can be easily visited. County Committee. The Republican County Committee will meet on next Tuesday, March 4. It is the Committee elected last year and this will be its last meeting. It is called to arrange for the primaries of this year, fixing such date or dates for the same as in its wisdom may be deemed best. A county ticket and delegates to the State Convention are to be chosen at the primaries by ballot by the Republican voters. Return Judges are also to be elected from each district of the county. These Return Judges will compose the next Couuty Committee. Under our county rules they will be a convention when they first meet to count up the votes cast at the primaries. As such convention they can take any action necessary as to mode of selecting the National Con. vention delegates, in conjunction with Mercer and Crawford counties. Else where will be seen what is going on in this and other counties. COL. THOMAS M. BAYNE, Congress man from one of the Pittsburgh districts, thinks Senator Cameron is Beeretly for Senator Logan for President A Washington dispatch to the Philadel phia Press says: Representative Bayne is of the opinion that General Logan will be the first choice of the Cameron managers for President. Sen ator Cameron is understood to be com mitted to Arthur, but Mr. Bayne thinks Cameron is staying out of the country purposely to avoid helping the Presi dent and to allow Colonel (Juay to fix up the convention for Logan. Mr. Bayne expects to return shortly to Pittsburgh. He says if the County Committee does not issue a 'all for a convention to elect delegates to the National Convention upon the distriet representation plan agreed upon at the Convention of 1880, be will ask leading Republicans to join him in issuing a call for a convention to elect a delegate on this plan. He is opposed to the election of delegates by sub divisions of the State Convention. It will certainly do no harm for those Republicans who do not prefer General Logan, with J. D. Cameron thrown in as a dispenser of rations, to look well to the movemeota of Mr M. S. Quay.— Crawford Journal. THE Philadelphia Prexs says that, willing or unwilling, Mr. Blaine wiil have to run for President in Pennsyl vania: TORNADOES IN SIX STATES Thousands of Houses Destroyed and Hundreds of Lives Lost. ATLANTA, GA , Feb, 20.—One mil lion dollars' worth of property, 5,000 houses, and .'JOO to 400 lives are the forfeit paid to the terrible storm of yesterday.

STRANUER. District Representation. En. CITIZEN: —WouId it not be well for our County Committee at its meet ing on March 4th, to offer a plan to be accepted by Mercer and Crawford couuties, whereby we can have district representation at the coming Chicago Xatioual Convention, rather than to leave it to the State Convention, thus putting aside ell reasonable cause of disaffection as to so ealled "bossism." Feb. 18, 1884. A. VOTER. Our correspondent friend above will please notice what is said iu another place in this paper en above subject. Action has been taken in Crawford that will lead to a district representa tiou.—Ed, The reading room iu coanet'tjon with the Acadt-my at Sunbury is uow an' altrfuttvi* feature,- A Subterranean Horror UNLONTOWX, PA , Feb 20, HB4. The little mining village of West L«*is- enring, situated four wiles north of here, was this morning the scene tf the most terrible explosion ever known in the coke region, resulting in the death ot nineteen miners. The Connellsville Coal and Iron Company have 200 coke ovens here which have been in operation about a year. The works give employment to about one hundred men, and quite a little town has sprung up nam d after ex-Judge Leisenring, president of the company. The coal is obtained by means of the shaft, which reaches the mine at a distance of 100 feet from the surface. This morning a part of th" force, who had worked all night, le f t the min.-s at a little past three o'clock and seventy other took th«ir places, making the usual morning shift A FRIOHTF. L EXPLOSION. At about half-past six o'elock, while the men were digging, suddenly and without warning, there occurred an explosion that convulsed the mine in every apartment and threw the men into the utmost consternation The scene of the explosion WUH iu one of the apartments fully 100 feet distant from the bottom of the shaft and there fore about twelve huudred feet from the surface opening, yet the report was heard on the outside for a considerable distance, and caused such a jar that the top of the derrick, 100 feet high, was knocked oil". Two mules were standing at the bottom of the shaft, 800 feet from the explosion, and the rush of air blew one of them through the wooden cage, shattering it to pieces and killing the animal. The other mule died from suffocation. The awful scenes thateusued among the terror stricken miners cannot be described. All their lamps were blown out and they were left in utter darkness ami confusion. They had not time to recover from the shock until they found themselves unable to breathe. The explosion of the fire damp, a term which miners apply to the light car bonated hydrogen or coal paa that issues from crevices in the roof of the mines, left the mines filled with what is known as "after damp," which con tains no oxygen and renders it impos sible for life to be sustained for any length of time. This "after damp" is densest in the upper part of the mine, and hence the men hovered near the bottom: but even here they did not long ftud relief. 01 all the men who were in the heading where the explosion occurred Dick Balseley alone escaped to tell the awful story. When the explosion came all the lights were blown out. Balseley was just changing his clothes, and he at once wound a portion of his clothing tightly arcund bis face and mouth to keep the foul air from chok iug him, and gave the rest of bis gar ments to his compauion, with instruc tions to take the same precautions, lie then started for the main entrance, bidding his companion to follow. They ran over the bodies of men and over shattered wagons. They could see nothing, however, but could hear the groans of dying men. Presently Balseley's companion protested that they were not going in toe right direction. He turned back, and like Lot's wife, he perished. Bal seley pushed on until he finally saw light and was taken out. His escape is regarded by experienced miners as one of the most marvellous on record He says some of the men kept their heads under water as long as they could and would have to change from the water to the "after damp" until finally they gave up the uuequal strug gle. Whea the news of the explosion was flashed around the families of the men gathered about the shaft and were almost wild with terror and euspens-e. Balseley's story gave them little to hope that any of the unfortunate miners could be got out olive. So dan gerous was tte "after dacjp" that it was fully two hours before any volun teers could enter the mine. Many were on hand ready to make the search, but were unable to do so until the hope of rescuing the unfortunates alive had been abandoued. It v/qs eight o'clock when the first body was brought Qijt State Rule. The folloveiuij is the State Rule rel ative to delegates from any county to a State Republicau Couveution It was adopted in HB2, and approved and practiced upon in this county last year. It says : "Henceforth all delegates to Repub lican State Conventions must be chosen in the manner in which candidates for the Assembly are nominated, except iu Senatorial districts composed of more than one county, in which conferees fof the selectioa of Senatorial delegates shall be chosen." The Senatorial delegate belongs to Butler county this year, Armstrong county having it last year. It will no doubt be conceded to this county by Armstrong now, as we conceded it to that eoqnty iast year, aijd thus save the expense of conferees meeting. MAEBIEP.
