Blair, who was a good swim mer, went to Weir's assistance, and both went down. The bodies were recovered, and when found were locked in each other's arms. —At the sale of the Court House debris last Thursday afternoon,the old brick brought SI.BO per thousand,tne old iron 35 cts. per 100 pound, and the flag stone under the portico 8 to 9 ets. per superfiscial foot. The old iron fence was purchased by a party from Allegheny City for $186.20. Three Pittsburgh junk dealers were present at the sale. —Small worms, somewhat resembling mag gots, are said to lie waging destructive warfare against the young cabbage plants, which are attacked at the roots, and we have never known the young growth of the apple and cherry trees to be so crowded with green and black bugs as it is at present. Any person who knows of a remedy for the last named nuisance should make it known, —A singular accident occurred at Titusville a few days ago. A seven year old lad named Van Sciver was running along the street when a sharpened slate pencil dropeil out of his pocket. It struck the walk in such a way that the point stuck up as his foot came down, and the pencil was driven almost through the foot. A surgeon had great difficulty in extract ing the pencil, its brittleness preventing the use of plyers to pull it out. —The two Dukes Jurors who sued the Rrpub lican Standard of Cniontown for criminal li bel because of its pungent criticism on their course in the murder case, were sat down upon soildly by the grand Jury of good and true men recently in Fayette county, their bill being ignored and prosecutors saddled with the cost. The healthiest thing the Dukes Jurors can do is to allow themselves to sink in to obscurity. —The bridge over the Allegheny river at East Brady fell into the river last Friday even ing. There were a number of persons on the bridge at each end at the time it fell but none on the central spans. The structure was built in 1868 and had been condemned as unsafe some time ago. The bridge was built by the Bradys Bend Iron company, aud for a number of years was a genuine bonanza to the stockholders and trustees who foolishly allowed the structure to get out of order, never painting or making pro per repairs. The receipts were enormous dur ing the early days of Butler Co. oil excitement, before the narrow gnage was built to Karns City. It is likely the bridge will be rebuilt, as the bonds are in the hands of the Valley road. —The Farmers and Breeders Mutual Live Stock Association, of this place, has already paid out nearly SBOO in losses. New policies are coming in every day and the Association is in a flourishing condition. Stock raisers all over Western Pennsylvania take kindly to the idea of insuring their valuable stock, as there is no telling when they may lose them. A. J. Ilaws, proprietor of the Tucker Stock Farm, in Mercer county, had three valuable horses killed by lightning on Monday night of last week. They had been turned out into pas ture, and were not found until Tuesday after noon. The field in which they were was an open one, and the horses were lying some dis tance from any tree or other object which draw the currents. One of the beasts was the celebrated mare, "Fanny H.," for which Mr. Haws had refused SI,OOO. The other horses are also of high-bred stock. The loss is a severe one for Mr. Haws, but it is likely he had some insurance. —While a clerk in one of our drug stores, was preparing some horse liniment last Thursday evening, the stuff effervesced and part of it was thrown upon the face and neck of Elmer, Graham, severely burning him. The clerk rubbed the burns with castor-oil and and Graham soon recovered from the shock, but had the stuff reached his eyes, he would likely have been permanently injured. The linimeut contained oil of vitro), which was the last thing put into the bottle and the sudden addition of which caused the effervesceuse. Oil of Vitrol added to any alkali will generate gas and cause an effervescen.se, similar to that made by Seidlitz powders,and if the mixture is confined, as this was, in a bottle, it shoots out from the opening pretty lively. It is oil of vitrol that generates the gas in the liabcock Fire Extinguishers, aud in soda water foun tains, both of which are made strong enough to resist the pressure. Soda water reservoirs are made strong enough to resist a pressure of from one to two hundred pounds to the sqifhre inch. This is the first time we ever heard of the oil being used for medicine for either man or beast, but perhaps the horse-doctor who prescribed it knew what he was about, —Another terrible accident happened in the Bald Ridge oil district early last Sunday morning, by which Mr. Richard Walker, a colored man was killed and his son Newt, aged about 16 years, was badly injured. Mr. Walker was in the employ of the Bald Ridge Oil Co., and had chartto of wells Nos. 14 and 15 on the Smith farm in Forward township, which are putuped by the steam of one boiler. About two oclock that morning while he aud Newt were in the boiler house, the boiler ex ploded, burniug and scalding him so badly that he lived but a few hours, anil scalding and injuring Newt, and throwing hin some distance into the woods. The crown-sheet of the boiler was thrown towards the tool houso where a daughter of Mr, Walter was sleeping, aud Striking a t»4»e and glanoing from it struck the *oorof the tool home aud tore it off, but did not injure the girl. The remains of Mr. Walker were brought to Butler and interred in the North Cemetery Monday morning. He came to this town from Bullion some two years ago and has been iu the employ of the Bald Kidge Oil Co. for over a year. He was 4!) years of age, was a member of the M.E . Church and leaves a wife and four children in destitute, circumstances. -•end or leave your order for a Sewing Ma ehine, of any make, at E. Urieb's Jewelry store The Democratic Convention. j The delegates of the Democratic party of this county, met in the hall of the school house in this town la>t Monday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, and after some delay, were called to order by Chairman David Marshall, who, after securing order, announced that the election of a President for the convention was the first thing in order. Capt. James Martin was noiu -1 inated l>y the friends of Judge Bredm, and John Roth, Esq., by the friends of MeQuis tion, for the position, and a motion to call the 1 ayes and nays on the question, carried. Mar shall appointed Messrs. A. Bowers and George Walter temporary secretaries, and the districts were called over for the purj>ose of securing a list of the delegates present A vote was then taken for President and Capt. Martin secured secured the position by a vote of 05 to 41, t!:e delegates from every district, 106 iu all, being present and voting. Mr. Martin mounted the platform and made a little speech, lljiiig, among other things, that he had been a Demo crat for 45 years, and was one during the war, when it was necessary for a Democrat to carry cold steel in order to protect himself. Messrs. A. P. Stewart, E. 11. Anderson and August Bowers were then elected Secretaries. A mo tion was made, seconded and carried that all persons in the room, excepting delegates, mem bers of the press, and some gentlemen from Lawreuce county, be requested to leave it. This was carried, but the outsiders refused to leave, and it took a half hour to persuade them to do so. Jim Gribbeu was the last to surren der. He was hidden among the delegates, but a heartless delegate pointed him out to the "bouncer," and Jim's manly form and smiling face were passed through the door, amid a general hand-clapping. A motion to endorse the candidacy of John McMichael, was made, and Mr. McConahay, a former District Attor- | nev of Lawrence county, was invited to make a few remarks. McC., said that McM was a credit to the Democratic party and an honor to the district, asked only justice to him and don't complain of the treatment he received ten years ago. He was here to ask Jrom But ler county that cordial support his ability and character demanded. Lawrence county was entitled to one of the Judges, and the Demo crats of Lawrence county would support the Butler conntv nominee.' The motion endors ing McMichael was carried unanimously. It was then moved and carried that any who bolted their instructions on First Ballot re ceive the censure of the convention. A motion to proceed to the nomination of a Judge, then prevailed. It meant the fight of the day and the convention was anxious to have done with it. P>q. McKee nominated James Bredm, Thos. McMillan nominated Lev. McQuistion, and Dan Wallett nominateed L. Z. Mitchell, but somebody withdrew Mitchell's name. The roll was then called and the dele gates voted by districts, generally calling two for one or the other candidate, and occasionally one for each. A dozen or more persons kept the tally, when the last district was called and it was known that Bredin had received the most votes, a dozen of McQuistion's friends were on their feet denouncing the delegates from Petrolia for bolting their instructions. Delegate Foote of Petrolia of Petrolia charac terized their assertions as falsehoods, and was called upon to show his instructions, which he did, but as he had no tally sheet, this was called for, and confusion reigned supreme. A dozen delegates talking and shouting at the same time. Roth and Marshall did the most of the speaking in the McQuistion interest and Mechlingand McKee for Bredin. The vote of Connoquenessing South which had voted one for each, was called in question and delegate Kaltenbaugh came forward and said that he had made a mistake and should have voted for Bredin instead of McQuistion. Anew ballot was called for but the motion was lest by a rising vote, and a motion to make Bredin's nomination unanimous, brought on another bear garden scene. More speeches were made for justice, fairness, etc., those by J. M. Mar shall beginning"Friends Democrats and Fellow citizens" being particularly eloquent and con vincing—or at least they might have been had anybody heard them. Amid the general confusion, one of the clerks got the attention if the convention and stated that 108 instead of 106 votes had been cast aud there would have to be another ballot, and a new motion to that effect carried. The clerk was called upon to read the first ballot, which originally stood 55 to 53, but after being corrected stood 50 to 52 in IJrediu's favor. A new ballot was then taken which resulted in Bredin's nomination by a vote of 54 to 52. Again was the vote of some districts called in question and again the whole convention wanted to talk at the same time and succeeded in doing so. A motion to make Bredin's nomination unanimous brought out cheers and yeas, and also some noes. McQ's friends felt sore over his defeat, and there was some talk that evening of his being an in dependent candidate, but we understand that he has given that up. Some of McQuistion's friends think that he was brought out by Forquer, only to tickle his vanity and kill him ofl politically, as he (Forquer) is really for Greer, and intended to help defeat McQuistion at the fall election if nominated. After such a fuss it took some time to quiet the convention, when Frank Ea-.truau, Esq., was unanimously nominated for Congress. George It. White, J. E. Bard, George 11. Graham and Wm. 11. Hoffman were nominated for State Senate. Graham's name with drawn, and Hoffman was nominated on first ballot, receiving 56 votes to Bard's 35 and White's 13. For Assembly, Jacob Zeigler and J. B. McNair were nominated by acclamation. For SherilF Buhl, was nominated on first bal lot, receiving 51 votes to Keasy's 38, Graham's 11, aud Ward's 3, and his nomination was made unanimous. Ward had released his del egates before the convention met. For Prothonotary, Brown was nominated on first ballot, receiving 61 votes to Cornelius' 45, aud his nomination was made unanimous. For Register and Recorder, Aggas was nom inated on first ballot, receiving 63 votes to Bedillou's 30, and McKearns' 13, and his nom ination was made unanimous. For Treasurer, McElhany was nominated on first ballot,receiving 55 votes to McKissick's 51, and his nomination was made unanimous. For Clerk of Courts, N. Allen was nomi nated on first ballot, receiving 70 votes to; Book's 36. For County Commissioner, Kelly was nom inated on second ballot, and Collins on fourth. Esq. I'ringle says that fraud and deception were practiced in the convention and an nounces himself as an independent candidate. J. L. Ilindman and Andrew Harper were nominated for Auditors, aud Tlieo. Kersting for Corouer. No committee on resolutions was appointed and consequently the convention had none to act upon, but they passed a resolution to here after hold their primaries by the Crawford county system. James Brittain, Esq., was elected Chairman of the County Committee, and John Roth, Esq., State Committeeman. The Vote in Butler.
