WILCOME —the flowers of May.
A lengthy communicatian from
Bruin and other matters have to be
omitted for want of space.
THE reported marriage of a daugh
ter of Senator Mitchell of Oregon, to
a son of present Minister of Great
Britain to this country, is denied
upon what seems to be good authori
ty. Senator Mitchell formerly hav
ing been of this connty makes any
thing concerning him or family of
special interest here.
BISMARCK, acting for the German
Government, has ordered the release
of the French officer Schnaebeles,
whose arrest on or near the borders
ot the two Governments was likely
to lead to war between them. This
action would seem to refute the idea
that Germany iatended to force an
other war with France. It looks
rather as if Bismarck desired peace.
When, however, war does come be
tween those two Empires it will b3
the most desperate and bloody strug
gle for supremacy of modern times.
A long enmity has existed, and Ger
many took and holds two of the prov
inces of France, which the French
people are determined to regain some
day. Honce the significance of this
war—when it does come—and it 3
coming looks to be a matter of time
only.
The Fruit Crop.
From all reports, from all parts of
this county up to this time, there
were never finer prospects for a great
fruit crop. This is especially the
case as to peaches. The peach trees
are represented as thick with blos
soms. The fine warm days of the
first part of this week brought them
oat in splendid array. Apple, pear,
and the other frait trees now also
give a promising appearance. But
this may all yet got a severe set
back, by biting, nipping frosts. We
hope to have the record nono such.
But it is not too late for and
they may come, .
The wheat fields of this county, we
may add, look well and a reasonable
crop of wheat is Expected. The farm
ers now are busy preparing the
ground for the planting of corn, and,
taking the appearance of all things
together, we have reason to bopo for
a bountiful return tc the husbandaisn
this year.
A Queen Among Us,
Queen Kapiolani, from the Sand
wich Islands, passed through Pitts
burg Tuesday last on her way to Wash
ington. She is traveling through
this country with a royal party of
high dignitaries of the Hawaiian
Kingdom and when she leaves it she
intends visiting Europe also. If any
of our readers are not acquainted
with Qaeen Kapiolani, or don't
know much about her or ber king
dom, we are sorry to my we cannot
give them much information. She is
described as being "large and fleshy,
dark colored, bar complexion being a
dark copper hoe." President Cleve
land has iavited ber to visit the
White House and after that bis Cab
inet and other distinguished officers
at Washington are to pay their re
specis to the visiting Queen.
School Superintendent.
The result of the meeting of the
School Directors in this place, on 1
Tuesday last, was the election of
Prof, Jonathan L. Snyder, of Slip
peryrock Tp, as County Superin
tendent of Common Schools for the
ensuing three years. The selection
of Mr. Snyder is generally spoken of
as being an excellent one. He is a
scholarly young man,fully competent,
of good moral character, modest iu
demeanor and of unassuming £imposi
tion. Those who know him best
were the warmest in their support of
him and it is claimed that bis selec
tion will still farther raise the stand- 1
ard of common school education in ;
the county.
Mr. Rassell, the retiring Kuperin- I
tendent.it is generally conc&dcd made I
a very efficient officer, and noth'ug
but the sentiment, or what appears to '
be the rule rather against a second '
term, would have prevented his con- j
tinuance in tbo place, Qe was a
working Superintendent and is ac
corded praise for bis activity and in
dustry daring bis term. He leaves
the post with the respect of all, and
the people are to be congratulat
ed that one so competent has been
chosen to follow him in the office.
THE OIL MEN DEFEATED.
After a Hot Fight the Senate
Rejects the BiUingsley Bill.
HARRISBURG, April 28.—1n the
Senate to day, after a number of bills
including the Legislative apportion
ment, had been reported from commit
tee, the following were passed final
ly: Increasing the salary of the Dep
uty Secretary of Internal Affair.-;
House bill appropriating $20,000 to
restore and confine the Delaware river
to its original channel.
At 11 o'clock Mr. Delamater offer
ed a resolution for the immediate con
sideration of the BiUingsley pipe line
bill.
Mr. Emery stated that a number
of the friends of the bill were absent
to day, He did not fell like going
into an argument upon this measure
until those friends were present and
until those who were said to be on
the fence were also present. He
therefore acked the courtesy of the
Senate that the bill be allowed to go
over,
Mr. Emery disputed a statement
by Mr. Rutan that there had been
any agreement that the bill should be
considered to-day.
EMERY GROWS INDIGNANT.
Mr. Emery said be came here in
defense of the 120 people who sat be
hind him in the galleries, and this
was the first time in his eight years'
experience that a courtesy had been
refused to any Senator. Must the
Senate establish the gag law? It
was unjust that he should be forced
into battle when his army was gone.
It should be below the dignity of any
Senator to rise and say that he would
not treat a brother Senator with
courtesy. It was but fair and just
and honorable that be should be al
lowed to have the bill go over.
Mr. Delamater did not desire any
personal difference with the Senator,
but he insisted that it had been un
derstood that no objection should be
made to the consideration of the bill
to-day.
A QUESTION OF VERACITY,
Mr. Emery emphatically denied
that there was any agreement exist
ing between Senator Delamater and
himself as to the hour when the biil
was taken up. Without notice to
him and when he was out of his seat,
Senator Delamater had offered the
pending resolution, after having
agreed yesterday that the bill should
come up in its regular order.
Mr. Delamater stated that, having
discovered Mr. Emery's absense, be
had withdrawn his resolution and
only called it up upon that gentle
man's return to the chamber. He
then gave his version of the conver
sation which be had held yesterday
with Senator Emery relative to the
bill There had been an understand
ing, he claimed, that there would be
no objection to the consideration of
the bill to-day.
"Veracity against veracity," was
Mr. Emery's comment.
Mr. Delamater. "I say emphati
cally that the gentleman's memory
does not agree with mine."
Mr. Emery warned the Republican
party that if they forced this measure
to-day it would have to take tho con
sequences. There were fifteen coun
ties in the northwestern part of the
State, of which thirteen were Repub
lican, and if a Republican Senate
threw this brand into their midst the
consequences wonld be seen at the
next election.
Mr. Delamater stated that he felt
sure that the bill would be reached to
day in its regular order and he there
fore withdrew the resolution.
THINGS GETTING LIVELY.
Mr. Emery then rose to a question
of privilege, and sent to the Clerk's
desk and bad read an article in the
Oil City Derrick roundly denounc
ing him, and charging that he had en
deavored to sell his oil refinery to
gether with his influence and friend
ship for the "damned cheap" price of
$750,000 to the Standard Oil Co , and
that his hostility to that company
was the result of a failure of negotia
tion. He emphatically denied the
truth of the charge, and fortified his
denial by means of affidavits of friends
who were present when the Standard
Oil Company was seeking to pur
chase his refinery. He made a sav
age attack upon the Derrick and the
Titusville Herald, which received
weekly stipends from the Standard
Oil Co., and were sheets hired to vil
ify and malign a man, who, like him-
Belf occupied a place in the honor of
their constituents.
"There sits one," he continued,
pointing to Mr. Scheide, who sat at
the side of the chamber, "on that
stool over there, who has vilified me
on the floor of the Senate, who has
poured into the ears of Senators the
falsehoods which he has taken from
these papers. Ho knew they were
false, for he knows ray character."
Continuing he addressed his fellow
Senators and appealed to them to
bear testimony that he bad never
gone back on his word or shirked the
responsibility of his vote. Yet those
papers, controlled by the infamous
monopoly, were hired to defeat this
measure, right or wrong. Men were
here at the Capital with millions to
make bargains with. He did Dot
charge that these men did u3e their
money, but he believed that but for
the fear of the law they would use it.
As a man before his Maker he stood
up and defied these scoundrels in in
vestigation or anywhere on God's
earth He put it flat and straight;
they were liars from the old house.
EMEKY'S VAIN FIGHT FOB DELAY
After some routine business the
Billingsley bill was reached on the
calendar.
Mr Emery moved that it be laid
over Lost—Yeas, 19; nays, 23.
Mr. Emery moved to postpone it
for the present. Yeas, 10; nays, 23
Mr. Delamater then took the floor
with a brief speech in opposition to
the measure, treating it from a consti
tutional standpoint and doubting its
constitutionality.
Mr. Emery then entered into a
carefully prepared and exhaustive ar
gument in advocacy of the bill, brist
ling with figures of oil production and
oil refining, to show bow the gigantic
monopoly of the Standard Oil Com
pany bad impaired the oil industries
of the State. Mr. Emery spoke for
an hour and a half and closed with a
regret that he had been obliged to g)
into battle without his host
Mr Rutan spoke in opposition to
the bill aud presented remonstrances
against it. He did not come here to bo
overawed by a mob or by the tissern
blago of citizens in the galleries to be
appealed to by the Senators. He did
come here to hear threats made
against the Republican party because
he did bis duty. For the first time
ia his legislative experience.be bad to
hear a Senator make au unmanly at
tack upon a gentleman sitting on this
floor who could not be heard ia his
own defense. He trusted that be
would never see a repetition of such
a scene in any legislative body, and
be trusted, for tbe sake of the Senate
oi Pennsylvania, that this would not
be remembered agaiust it.
Mr. Emery indignantly denied that
bis constituents who were in the gal
lery were a mob
Mr. llutan denied that he made
sach a statement. If he bad called
them a m >b he apologized for it
Mr. Emery was not satisfied with
the apology aud demanded that the
stenographer should read his notes of
Mr llutan's language
The President pro tern stated that
he had net power to compel the sten
ographer to do so and ordered the
clerk to proceed with the roll-call on
the final passage of the bill.
As the clerk proceeded Mr. Emery
stood upon his feet, gesticulating vio
lently and demanding a recognition,
which the presiding officer declined to
grant.
THE BILL BEATEN
The roll call was completed and the
bill was defeated—yeas, 18; nays, 25,
as follows:
Yeas Alexander, Allen, Betts,

Bull Fights.
It seems strange that the cruel
and revolting amusement of bull
fighting is still kept up in any coun
try. Spain is not alone in this vul
gar and inhuman sport. It Beerns
they still practice it in Mexico, as
appears by the following:
CITY OF MEXICO, April 20. —The
novelty of a buli fight by electric
light drew an immense crowd to the
Colon Plaza last night. Among the
spectators were President Diaz and
several members of his Cabinet.
The arena was '.brilliantly lighted
by ten electric lights, and the gaudy
uniforms on the matadors fairly blaz
ed. The door of the pen was thrown
open, and the first bull made a fran
tic rush at the picadors and in a min
ute was master of the arena, having
killed one horse and gored two oth
ers. One matador and a picador
were laid out though not killed.
The fighters then became very tim
id, and plied tbe sword from the side,
being afraid to face tbe animal as is
usual. Of five bails every one was
desperate in the blazing light, and
horses and fighters were rolled over
and tossed in a terrible manner.
One swordsman attempted to kill
the bull as ho charged, aad was
caught on the horns and tossed out
of the arena almost lifeless.
The reßult of the fight wa3 four
horses killed, several torn and crip
pled, two matadors nearly killed and
several torn and crippled, two ma'a
dors nearly killed and several picadors
disabled. The dazzling light seems
to make the animals wild. This was
the first time bull fighting has been
tried by electric light.
Butler Booming.
The influx of people to this place
is remarkable. So many new fAfces
are among us that the old citizens
seem as if they were among straug
ers. Business is also corresponding
ly increasing. A largi number of
new buildings have been erected and
many others aro being built. They
are going up in all parts of the town
but principally in Springdale. This
may be attributed to the erection of
the large Glass Works being erected
there. These work 3 will be as large
as any in this country of tbe kind and
will employ it is said near a thousand
persons. Other new works are con
templated. The Railroads are all
doing a good business. The stores
are thronged with purchasers aud in
in fact in every line of business there
is increased activity.
King Sentenced to ho Hanged.
CLARION, April 30 David King,
who killed John C. Davis in the
bouse ol' Mrs. Diasmore at St. Peter
burg several months ago and who
was couvicted of murder ia the first
degree last Tuesday, was sentenced
this ufternoon to bo hanged. Strong
efforts were made ia his behalf for a
new trial, but the motiou was over
ruled. The prisoner broks down and
fainted. He was revived, and with
the sheriff supporting him, ho stood
up aud was sentenced. Mrs. Dins
more has been arrested aa being ac
cessory before the fact of the murder,
and is now in jail.

Prospect School, No. 1.
HPS. CITIZEN: —The school opened
October IS, ISBG and closed April
2fi, 1887.
Pupils enrolled 05; average attend
ance 45; average per cent of atten
ance 86: Ada .Touts missed no day?;
Lula Albert 1
The school was one of the best in
attendance and in diligence 1 ever
taught until the measles and other
sicknesses made their appearance,and
when they had run their course, the
school did not get over the effects of
the epidemics, and the last few weeks
of the term were not so satisfactory.
The pupils of this school, although
full of life and wide-awake, come un
der "good conduct and deportment,"
and progress as rapidly as could be
expected. Pupils cannot go beyond
their own comprehension of their
studies, llaste makes wast in school
as well as in anything else. Boys
and girls with different minds and
surroundings, will not, cannot make
equal advancement.
There is yet a spirit of revolt
against Physiology and Hygiene, and
so long as parents oppose it, there
will be friction in the school machine
ry. If Geography is not a compulso
ry study, should another study be ?
If the Legislature has power to make
a person study a certain book, has it
not power to make him learn a cer
tain trade? Two good classes in
Physiology and Hygiene were main
tained during the term and they did
very good work. Smith's P, and 11.
seems to answer a 1 purposes yet, but
if anyone wishes to become efficient
in Anatomy or medicine he must of
course get some other text book. For
our schools Smith's is difficult enough.
We had a very bright class in Gram
mar and Language, and we hope our
successor will continue it,for to gath
er fruit to-day and let it spoil to-mor
row would be a waste of time and
energy. Is this not one reason our
schools are Dot better? They are
the subjects of change,of experiments,
of different methods, of discipline one
winter and do as-thcy-pleaso method
the next, and so long as the schools
are left to drift on the sea of changea
ble winds and controlled by an exper
imental rudder there will be danger
and the highest attainment cannot be
expected.
The last day of the term was a
very enjoyable one to all. The day
was pleasant and to see the cakes,
pies, etc coming to school that morn
ing was pleasanter still. The fore
noon was spent as had been before,
but the eyes of the pupils could not
be kept off the good tbiugs which sat
in the corner. Minutes seem hours
under such circumstances When noon
came the committee prepared the din
ner and we all lived to eat just then
instead of eating to live. Dinner
over, play was next in order. Tired
of play a spelling match came nextOD
the list, in which contest Fanny Te
bay carried off the honors After
some homely words of advise to the
pupils, "Time declared the school
dismissed,"
We were encouraged by the visits
and words of advise made by tho Go.
Sup't, directors and many friends and
sympathizers.
Wishing the school success in the
future, we still remain a pedagogue,

MESSRS. EDS: Please allow space

friends iu the couuty an account of
the meeting of the friends of Mrs.
Margaret Campbell, of Middletown,
Concord twp , on tho occasion of her
74tli birthday, April 23, 1387.
Mrs. Campbell was completely
taken by surprise when her friends
and neighbors, to near the number of
150, assembled at her home about 10
o'clock, with well filled baskets.
The house being too Kmall to ac
commodate ali the guests and the rain
falling continuously, diuner was pre
pared by the ladies iu the Grauge
iiall close by, which did credit to
them.
After dinner was partaken of by all
the meeting was called to order by
electing Mr. Harvey Campbell, I'res ,
and i, 11. Christie, Sec'y.
Kev. J. K Coulter made the open
ing prayer; after prayer a hymn was
sung by request of MM Campbell;
after which ll'>v. Marshall an
ad Jr. s.s and present.-d Mrs Campbell
with quite a number of valuable pres
ents, consisting of a pump for her
well, a very nice louuge, several
dresses, a small *utn of money, and a
number of other articles too tedious
to mention. Next was an address by
Kev. J. 11 Coulter.
Mr. John 0. Christie made the re
ply to the presentation address in he
half of Mrs. Campbell, thanking the
assembly for their great kindnebs in
honor of her.
The Chairman was then called on
to give a history of tho Campbells
which he did in a nice speech The
meeting then adjourned and all left j
feeling that it was good to be there )

PEACE NOW ASSURED.
An Understanding Between
Germany and France.
PARIS, April 28 M. Herbette,
French ambassador at Berlin, tele
graphs that ytsterday evening he had
an interview with Count Herbert Bis
marck, German minister for foreign
affairs, and that the latter maintained
that French territory was not violat
ed when M. Scbnaebeles was arrest
ed. M Herbette adds, however, that
Count Bismarck states that Germany
is inclined to admit that the arrest
was irregular and contrary to the
Franco-German Frontier Convention
of 1877, aud on this account will re
lease M, Schnaebeles when the letters
written by M. Gautsch are proved to
be authentic. The despatch adds
that it is believed that the release of
M. Schnaebeles will take place, at the
latest to-morrow and that M. Her
bette was to have an another inter
view with Count Bismarck daring
the day.
There no longer any excitement
and tho tone of the conservative sec
tion of the press is one of rejoicing
that the unpleasantness i 3 over. Such
hot heads as Henri Rocbefort insists
that France was outraged, but while
there is a strong feeling that Schnae
beles was entrapped into crossing the
boundary line, everybody is satisfied
that French soil was not violated by
the arrest. One advpntage is to be
derived from the incident and that is
that it will prevent a recurrence of a
similar difficulty in the future. A dis
patch from Berlin announces that
Prince Bismarck has instructed Count
Bismarck to open negotiations with
M. Herbette, the French ambassador
at Berlin, with a view to the rear
ranging of the Frauco-German bound
ary zone. Tho Schnaebeles affair is
urged a3 a proof of the necessity of
improving the present frontier line at
points where there are no roads,
streams or national lines of division.
