The Cincinnati Mob.
A mob has well been described us
the moßt fearful thing that human na
ture can produce. The brutes and the
elements may be controlled, but a mob
is as uncontrollable as unreasonable.
In the city or town it can hold sway
by the very frigbt it creates and hence
great loss of life and property has al
ways followed. It appeared a thing
almost incredible, at first news, that
the beautiful city of Cincinnati con
tained elements for such a mob rule as
•ihe has just experienced. Commenc
iug last Friday night it was continued
ou Saturday night, andcndH with great
loss of life and great destruction < f
valuable buildings. The splendid
Court House and jail of that city were
the objects of vengeance. A man
charged with a brutal murder had been
found guilty of but manslaughter or
murder in the second degree. This
was the verdict of the jury, and it Bur
prised all, even the judge trying the
case, who expressed his disapproval of
the jury's finding. The people as it
were became a mob, and sought to take
the prisoner, Berner, from the jail and
lynch him. To that proceeding, of
course, the law and all its officers were
bound to oppose and prevent. The re- ,
suit is the firing of the jail and then
the temple of justice itself, the Court
House. And here is where the unreas
oning of the mob always appears.
Because justice has not been fully
meted out in its balls the cry goes up
to destroy the building in which it was 1
administered. The inanimate stone
and marble are sought to be made en
samples for the wrong doing of juries.
In Cincinnati there appears to have
been many murderers of late who have
not met with their full punishment, ac
cording to the views of its people gen
erally. And hence there wore found
iu this mob many well doing and re
spectable citizens of that city. But
what a mistaken remedy. Had the
jury that found a corrupt verdict, as is
alleged, or a verdict directly opposed to
the law and the evidence, had its mem
bers been sought out for vengeance it
would not seem so strange. But the
lesson this mob teaches is a plain one;
it is that justice inu.it be ad wit?/ inter ed
in this country, that uo technicalities
of the law, no criminal lawyers, of
which a city as large as Cincinnati is
full, can be permitted, by any device iu
practice or pleading, to thwart the ends
of justice. It is a lesson to all the j
Courts of the laud, that no guilty of- ;
fender must escape. And hence the I
high necessity in all places, and at alt
times, for able, fearless and upright
judges and juries. If we don't have '
them other people )>esides those of Cin
cinnati will rise in riot and in mohs and ,
take the law into their own hands '
Many of tin* people of that fair city be.
lieve the law was trifled with and that 1
many murderers went unpunished, and
hence its riot, bloodshed and conflagra- ' j
/
tions. We see no other lesson taught
in this case than the supreme demand
for the full execution of the law at all
times and in all case*. The interests j
of all communities require it and this
Cincinnati mob gives a fearful warning
to all
Bald Ridge Election District.
Ei>s. CITIZEN': —To avoid misappre-;
hention on the part of any citizen of
the county as to the procedure in form
ing the above district and the reasons
for its formation, I submit the follow
ing statement:
The Act of April 20, 1854, Section
2, authorized the Courts of Quarter
Sessions:
Ist, To divide a township into two
or more election districts.
2d, To alter the bounds of any elec
tion district.
3d, To form an election district out!
of parts of two or more adjoining town
ships.
This action was to be taken only
when it suited the convenience of the
inhabitants of the township or town
ships to lie effected, and the districts
were only so to lie formed where they
contained one hundred voters or more.
It was further provided by the same
section that the proceedings had in the
case of such division or alteration shall
be the same as in the erection or alter
ation of the lines of townships, that is,
commissioners shall be appointed who
shall inquire into the propriety of such
division or alteration and shall report
to the court and at the term after that
at which the report shall be made, the
court shall take such order thereupon
as to them shall appear just and reas
onable.
The reading of this act shows that
such procedure was to be had only in
the first two classes of cases above
mentioned, and excluded the case of
the formation af an election district
out of parts of two or more adjoining
townships, in which class of cases the
formation of the Bald Ridge district
falls, it being formed of parts of (south)
Connoquenessing, Butler, Penu and
Forward townships. The authority to
form such a district rests, therefore,
with the court alone and no viewers
were necessary except for the purpose
of enabling the court more definitely
to fix the lines and boundaries of the
district.
The new Constitution, however,
swept away the procedure under the
act of 1854, and left the formation of
election districts wholly with the
Court of Quarter Sessions. See opin
ion of Judge Pearson in the case of the
contested election of the office District
Attorney of Dauphin county, reported
in 11 Philadelphia Reports, page 045.
The constitution provides that town
ships shall form or be divided into
election districts, of compact and con
tiguous territory In such manner as
the court of quarter sessions may di
rect, and election districts shall lie di
vided wherever the court shall be of
the opinion that the convenience of the
electors and the public interest will be
promoted thereby.
From the time of the adoption of the
new constitution by the people of the
State, until May, 187 C, no procedure
for the formation of election districts
was pointed out by the Legislature,
and during that time the court of quar
ter sessions could have, of its own
motion, redistricted the county for
election purposes, having in view com
pact and contiguous territory, the con
venience of the electors and the promo
tion of the public interests.
On May 18, 1876, the Legislature
pointed out the manner of proceeding
to form new election districts, but in
two cases only.
Ist, The division of a township into
two or more election districts.
2d, The annexation of one election
district or township to another.
It will be seen,by lawyer or layman,
that this act does not apply to the for
mation of an election district out of
several townships, such as the Bald
Ridge district, and a reference to the
Act in detail will confirm that view.
The general clause in the constitution
that the court shall divide or form elec
tion districts whenever it shall be of
the opinion that the the
electors and the public interests will be
promoted, is in full force and is not
subject to the delay of two terms or a
reference to the vote of the people.
If this view of the law is correct the
Court may at any time form such an
election district as that of Bald Ridge,
provided the district is so formed as to
suit the convenience of the electors and
promote the public interests.
Electors of the Bald Ridge district
cannot vote at the place for holding
their elections for any office other than
county and State, including Presiden
tial electors. In other words, town
ship officers must be voted for by them
at the regular place in their respective
townships for holding elections. The
elector living in that portion of the dis
trict within the bounds of Penu town
ship mupt vote justice of the peace,
constable, &c., at the regular place for
holding the Penn township elections,
and so of Forward, South Connoque
nessing and Butler.
Within the bonds of the Bald Ridge
election district live some one hundred
and fifty or two hundred voters and
the number is increasing. Theso voters
live in the corners of four townshipsjand
must travel from three to six miles to
i - ote in their respective townships
They are generally working men who
labor each day twelve hours. They
are not situated aB farmers who have
their own horses and who can comfort
ably travel to the polls. They must
walk or go to the expense of hiring
their teams. Worn out then with
their hard work and generally feeling
enable to ex|>end hard earned money
in a cause in whicti they are not direct
ly concerned, they prefer staying away
from the place of holding the election.
The body politic is the loser by this
The polls, if possible, like the school
houses should be within easy reach of
each voter. For these reasons this dis
trict is one eminently lit to bo made.
A railroad runs through its length and
renders the polls easily accessible to
each voter whether he be mechanic,
laborer, merchant or farmer. The ex
pense is but a trifle and has been borne
before for districts not so necessary as
this. I have been informed that some
citizens of Penn tvsp , are under the
impression that by the esiaUiahment
of this district their township is divid
ed and their taxes specially increased.
Iu this they are mistaken. Their
municipal organization is as it was be
fore except that within th».- bounds of
the township there are now two voting
places for acveral elections, as there are
in Connoquenessing and Washington
townships, and the expense incurred in
holding the general elections in the
new district is paid out of the County
Treasury. T C CAMPBELL

THE Citizens committee movemenL
in Allegheny county demonstrates
what can be done by the people when
they organize and resolve to break up
ring-machine rule. Pittsburgh and
Allegheny have been quietly in the
grasp of the machine for ten or fifteen
years past, and now its rule has been
broken—forever we hope. Col. Bayne
is entitled to the congratulations he is
receiviug for the leading and heroic
part he took in the citizens movement
that bent the old ring rule last Satur
day.
REV. JOHN H. NIBI.OCK, now pastor
of a church at Cedar Rapids, lowa, is

Sunday School of the same, being just
twenty years since he preached his first

was then in feeble health and died
shortly afterwards. Rev. Niblock has
many friends in this place who are al
ways pleased to see and greet him
back to bis old homo.
Closing of School No. 2.
EDITORS CITIZEN: —PIease allow me
through the columns of your valuable
paper to give a short account of the
closing of school No. 2 in Penn town
ship, known as the Bulford district.
This school closed on the 27th ®of
March, alter a term of five months of
which the parents say has been very
successful. The scholars, also, both
large and small, say they never spent
as pleasant or more profitable term.
Their teacher, Jennie R. Criswell, has
undoubtedly left her impress indelibly
upon the hearts and minds of both pa
rents aud pupils. I have witnessed
the closing of many schools, yet this
was as pi ease nt and profitable a closing
as I ever saw. From ten o'clock until
eleven people kept coming and were
kindly welcomed by the teacher until
the large schoolroom was crowded with
the parents and those interested in ed
ucation. The forenoon was spent in
the regular class exercise, the scholars
all did splendidly aud the teacher ac
quitted herself nobly. When twelve
o'clock came we were dismissed and
the ladies of the neighborhood prepared
from their well filled baskets, as good a
dinner as one could wish to partake of,
consisting of chicken, oil kinds of cakes,
innumerable kinds of pies aud many
other articles too numerous to nientiou.
Of all the places I know of go to No. 2
is the best for a good dinner, for al
thougl everybody seemed hungry there
was abundance, and there was taken
np of the fragments, I don't know how
many baskets. After enjoying our
selves for a short time on the play
ground we were led back to the school
house by the worthy teacher to be en
tertained by a literary performance
from the scholars conducted bv the
teacher, which was simply graud, an
honor to the teacher and a credit to
the pupils. It consisted of dialogues,
recitations, compositions, declamations
and music, instrumental aud vocal.
The scholars all did well, but the per
formances of Carls Patterson and Ella
Hays were exceptionally good. But
for this literary performance, the great
est part of the praise should belong to
the teacher, for such exercises ore suc
cessful only when there is some one at
their head who understands discipline
und Is not afraid of work or trouble.
After these grand exercises which fuel
ed for about two hours, the scholars
were treated by their teacher. This
was also a success, iu that there was
such an abundance, consisting of candy,
oranges and peanuts. While looking
on I almost wished myself a school
boy again that I might partake of his
privileges: but alter the scholars had
had a splendid treat there was still
much left which was freely distributed
among the visitors. The pupils then
presented their teacher with a beautiful
album as a token of their love and grat
itude, for her kindness and valuable
instructions to them during the winter.
The teacher then said they were
through with their exercises and would
be glad to hear some criticisms and re
marks. There was no room for criti
cising but a few well chosen remarks
were made by Mr. Wm. Kennedy, B.
W. l>outhett, Jos. Criswell and several
of the teachers who were present. All
joined in their approval and praise of i
the day's exercise. The teacher then !
u:adp her farewell address which was i
well chosen ur;d instructive. This j
closed the exercises of lha .Jay, we I
were dismissed and all left the school
room feeling doubly repaid for coming
and will always remember with pleas
ure the closing of Jennie It. Criswell's
school, 4 SJ'EUT ATOU '

Farewell to a Lady Missionary.
The below from the St. Louis Qlobe
Democrat, of March 12th alt, will in
form] the friends and acquaintances of
the movements and future labors of
one of the young ladies who, last sum
mer, visited their aunt, Mrs. James
Kearns, and their grandfather, Mr.
Samuel R. Richards, living near this
! place:
A social was given at the Glasgow
j Avenue Presbyterian Church la9t
1 night by the congregation, especially
j the young people, as a farewell to Miss
, Clara B. Richards, who goes out as a
tnisionary to Japan, under the auspices
of the Woman's Board of the (Dutch)
Reformed Church. There was a fine
programme of music, and at the close
a collation was served, She has been
lor several years a resident of St. Louis,
and is both intelligent and handsome.
Left an orphan at an early age, she
was conSded, with four other children,
by her mother, to the care of Rev.
Thomas Marshall, who was then pas
tor of the Glasgow Avenue Church. He
disclaims haviDginany way influenced
her purpose of becoming a missionary,
which was formed years ago, but last
night he was evidently proud of her.
Seven years ago she joined the church
on profession of faith and has since
been active in church and Sunday
school work. She graduated with hon
or from Lindenwood College, St.
Charles, in 1882, One of her fellow
graduates, Miss Annie Geisinger, went
immediately after to India, where she
is now employed by the Presbyterian
Board as a missionary. Miss Richards
leaves Monday for San Francisco. She
leaves there on the 27th, with Miss Bro
kaw of Louisbarg, Kan., and Rev. H.
Harris and wife, of New Brunswick,
N. J., for Nagasaki, Japan, where they
will establish a young ladies' semina
ry.

HAVING ADDED TO MY IMMENSE STOCK several new lines that for WEAR, FIT, STYLE and PRICE
cannot be surpassed in Pennsylvania.
OUR TBADE IS INCREASING RAPIDLY.
W<* have been compelled to enlarge and jepiodel oyr entire room inside, which we have now just completed and you
will find one of the finest
BOOT AND SHOE HOUSES
•n Western Pennsylvania with a Stock of COOTS and SHOES twice as large as any other house in Butler County,
and filled with immense bargains from top to bottom. Can't give prices on this immense Stock; it would fill a whole
newspaper, but will say, will sell you a Good Two-Buckle Plow Shoe, sizes 6-12, 75 to 85 cents ; a Good Calf Boot,
sizes 6-11, at $1.50. These are regular lines of goods made to my order; no old shoddy goods; no auction stock of
