ANDREW CAUNEOJE does not be lieve in any celebrations of the Queen of England's ascension to the throne, ' especially as regards this couQtry. He was asked the other day to con ! tribute to a fund for this purpose in New York and bia answer to the com mittee in charge of the affair leaves no hope that he can ever be approach ed again for such a subject, lie says in reply:— "I am an American citizen and a very staunch Republican—a maD who rejects the monarchical idea as inconsistent with and insulting to his manhood. I should stultify myself were I to celebrate tho reign of any ! hereditary ruler. 'I was born as free M Caesar.'" In the conclusion of bis answer to I the committee, he saye:— "Onr fellow countrymen must cele brate something. Let me suggest to them that the proper day for a politi cal demonstration in New York is the Fonrth of July, and on that day let them pray that the day is not far dis tant when our less favored country men at home shall share with us the blessings of institutions founded upon the political equality of the citizen— the day wbeu hereditary privilege will be unknown, and when 'govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people' will be the watch word of English-speaking men throughout the world." A very sensible man is Andrew Carnegie. Born of Scottish parents, with a love for the country of bis birth, bat with a greater love for the country of bis adoption, because it is ■ a free country, he speaks plainly and has given a rebuke to Americans who are silly enough to think of celebrat ing the success of a monarchal form oT government, that will surely have an effect. Andrew Carnegie has placed himself right before the Ameri can people, and his outspoken words aro not to go unheeded.— Ex. A Word, of Caution. We would caution the Republican voters of this county not to give ear to any rnmors of a personal or a slan derous character, of or concerning any candidate, made immediately before the Primary and when too late to be corrected. These, as well as stories of combinations between candidates, are sometimes put in circulation on the eve of an election. They are generally untrne— for if true they would have been heard of sooner. The Primary. Satnrdav doming the Republic-ana of this county will place in nomina tion candidates for nearly all of the county offices to bo filled this fall and for the term of three yearn Tuere is a good and well qualified set of men before the Republican voters for all these offices. Tlm difficulty is to choose between them. But this is what tho Primary was instituted for. All therefore are interested in the fair conducting of tho Primary. Any candidate, or his friends, whose acts at or before the Primary are other wise than fair only injures himself, as the nomination has to bo followed by an election in the fall. Who the winning ones ore to be on Saturday no one can cutainly know or tell. But let there be a fuil turnout, and fair play all around, and we think it is safe to predict that a good ticket will be nominated. Butler County Oil Field. The oil field of this county, as now reported, is about the best in the State. During the month of April last but one dry well was reported, and in May but 7. The production of Reibold during May was greater than any other field. The market shows but slight in crease, remaining at about 63 cents. On this, Thursday, morning, it open ed bere at 62 £ and at noon was 62jj centa. THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS. Law of the State Regulating the Manner of Holding Them. An Act to regulate the holding of, and to prevent frauds in, the pri mary elections of the several politi cal parties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. SEC. 1. Be it enacted, etc.. That from and after tbe passage of this art ic shall be lawful and is hereby made the duties of tbe Judges, Inspectors and Clerks or other officers of the pri mary elections, meetings or caucus held for the purpose of nominating candidates for State, city and county offices within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, before entering upon the discharge of their duties, several ly to take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation in the presence of each other in form as follows, namely: "I, (A B) do that I will as Judge, Inspector or Clerk (a3 the case may be) at the ensuiug election impartiel ly and faithfully perform my duties, in accordance with the laws and con stitution of the Commonweath of Pennsvlvania, and in accordance with tbe rules and regulations adopted by tbe party of tbe county of for the government of the said pri mary elections, meeting or caucus, to the best of my judgment and abili ties;" the oath or affirmatfon shall be first administered to the Judge by one of the Inspectors, then the Judge so qualified shall administer tbe oath or affirmation to tbe Inspectors and Clerks, and may administer the oath to any elector offering to vote as to bis qualifications to vote at such elec tion. SEC. 2 If any Judge, Inspector, Clerk or other officer of a primary election as aforesaid phall presume to act ID such capacity before the taking and subscribing to the oath or aflirrua tion required by this act, he shall on conviction, be fined not exceeding two hundred dollars; and if any Judge, Inspector, Clerk or other officer, when in the discharge of Lis duties as such, shall willfully disregard or violate the provisions of any rule duly made by the said party of county for the government of the primary elections of the party, he shall on convictioD.be fined not exceeding two hundred dollars, and if any Judge or Inspector of a primary election as aforesaid shall knowiDgly reject the vote of any person entitled to vote under the rules of the said party, or shall knowingly receive the vote of any person or persons not qualified as aforesaid, (he) shall on conviction, be fined not exceeding two hundred dollar?; and if auy Judge, Inspector, Clerk or other officer of a primary election as aforesaid shall be guilty of any willful fraud in the discharge of bis duties, by destroying or defacing ballots, adding ballots to the poll, other than those lawfully voted, by stuffing the ballot box, by false count ing, by making false return?, or by any act or thing whatsoever, the per son so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not exceed ing five hundred dollars or imprison ment not exceeding one year, or both, or either, at the discretion of the Court. All acts or parts of acts of Assem bly inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed, except in counties or cities where special acts are in force for the same purpose; Provided, That the provisions of this act shall entail no expanse to the counties or cities. Approved the 291h of June, 1881 We reproduce the above law at this time in order to aid the Republicans in holding the Primary election that coroeß off on Saturday next, June 4 While the law speaks of "Judges, Inspectors and Clerks," yet it will be noticed that the words "or other of ficers" are used. These "other ofli cers" are, or may be, determined by the rules of the party in any county holding a primary. But when per sons sufficient can be procured it would be well enough, and perhaps safer, to have as full a board as at a regular election. The idea of the law was to follow the general election law. One Inspector, however,is suf ficient at a Primary. The officers must be sworn. Any person agreed upon as ono of tho In spectors can first adminster the oath to tho person agreed upon as the Judge,then the said Judge in turn is to administer the oath to the Inspectors and clerks. The proper blank* for holding the primary have been sent out by the Chairman of tho County Committee, and his call, as published, indicates the time, manner and places of holding the same, as well as all the officers to ba nominated or elected. The tickets ugpd and circulated by the candidates also indicate what are to bo nominated. On somo of the first priuted of these, however, there was omitted a place or space for the Delegates to tho Stato Convention, that have to be elected at the coming primary, and perhaps also a space for Coroner. These, however, can be written upon all such tickets that may be used, and upon any place of tho same. The voter should be care ful in making up his ticket to see that it embraeea all that are to be nominated or elected. —One good provision which the High License bill contained when it left the House was destroyed bv the Senate. The measure as it was pass ed in the lower House would have done away with some of the "Judi cial Anarchy" which now prevails in the State on the license question, and secured a degree of uniformity in the ruliugs of the courts. IJut the amend ment of the Senate restores tho vague ness of the old luw and will conse quently preserve tho confusion. The bill came to the Senate with this pro viso: "That all the additional peti tions and remonstrances allowed by this section shall bo based on the ne cessity of the license to sell liquor or the fitness of the applicant, and not on the necessity of the hotel, inn," Ac. Tho Senate struck out the words "and not on," and inserted "or" in their place. This change eceni3 to be nothing else than an attempt to render the proviso meaningless.— EJ: The will of Holloway, the great quack medicine millionaire, of Lon don, has just been probated, notwith standing the Contest made by two aged sisters, whom he loft penniless. He gave nearly all his estate—lees the amount which erected what is likely to be a useless college—to a stranger to his blood, and did not name his aged sisters. SATURDAY —Republican Primary. Prohibition Resolutions. At the Prohibition Convention in Butler last Thursday the following resolutions wt-re adopted: THK RESOLUTIONS. The Prohibition party of Butler countv, Pa, by its delegates in con vention a-seuililcd, submits the fol lowing declaration of principles.— 1 We reverently acknowledge Al mighty God as the source of all po\v;- : r and auth ri'y in civil govern ment and humbly invoK'* nis aid in our struggle with the drink traffic. We acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ a? tbe ruler of nations, nud the revealed will of God as the standard to which all laws of human enact ment shoutd conform as an absolute requisite; to peace, prosperity and happiness 2 We humbly express our grati tude to God for "the progress thus far made in the cause of temperance re form; for the marked growth in pub lic sentiment, the awakening of the public conscience and the ever in creasing number of the advocates of tue cause of Prohibition. 3 We declare that tbe liquor traf fic is the source of poverty, crime and misery, the foe of industry, the de strover of private and public virtue, the great fountain ol political corrup tion, the parent of sedition, anarchy, vice and social and industrial dis order. This traffic is sanctioned and protected by law, and its suppression has become the supreme political as well as moral issue of the day. 4 We believe that neither of the old political parties,dependent as both of them are upon tbe saloon vote for their supremacy, are competent to grapple effectively with the liquor trbflio. For either of them to honest ly undertake to overthrow the :?a!oon would be partv suicide. 5 We believe that the liquor traffic i? too strongly entreuched to be de stroyed bv human power less than a tbe determined will of a majority of the voters of the Commonwealth and Nation organized into a political party and acting together for this end We" believe that prohibition to be radically and completely effectual must extend to the whole Nation and be supported by a party uncondition ally committed to its procurement and enforcement. 6 We believe that the Prohibition party is tho only party which gives the Christian citizen the opportunity of expressing at the ballot box his sentiments in reference to the liquor traffic. We believe it is the only party which givc.3 the citizen the op portunity of voting for public officers entirely free from all complicity with the liquor business and which re moves from the voter all moral re sponsibility for the evil which it in flicts; and is the only party willing to suffer defeat in the defense of pro hibition or to triumph with its suc cess; therefore Resolved, 1. That we reaffirm our allegiance to the National prohibition party as the only party whose plat form and candidates stand for the ab solute constitutional and legislative prohibition of the manufacture, impor tation, transportation and sale of ali intoxicating beveragea. Resolved. 2. That while we rec ognize the right to liberty of consci ence we cannot forbear the logical necessity of holding that those who vote with license parties are accessor ies to the crimes of the legalized liquor traffic and are jointly responsi ble for the evils resulting therefrom We affirm that all who license or in any way favor the continuance of this traffic, and all Legislatures which li cense; and all political parties which favor licente, and all men who vote for parties which license, do make themselves accessory to the liquor crime, and equally guilty with the man who carries on the traffic. Resolved, 3 That believing in the Christian Sabbath as a:: indispensible safeguard of our Christian institu tion?, we demand the strict enforce ment of all laws against its desecra tion, and hold in abhorrence, as in imical to the best interest of society, the efforts of the rum power to secu larize the day in open violation of the laws of the land. liesolocd, 4 Tbat wo heartily in dorse the work of tin W C T U. as a power of good ia thin State and Na tion; and hope for the sake of our common cause, that the time is not far distant when the County and State organizations will join with the National in affiliations with the only political party that stands lor the principles which they so zealously ad vocate. Revolved 5. That we imperatively demand the statutory and constitu tional prohibition of the manufacture, sale and importation of, and all traffic whatsoever in intoxicating liquors an a beverage. Rcxoluid C. Tbat wo protest against and denounco the high license law recently enacted by our State leg islature, as an insult to the enlighten ed temperance sentiment of this Com monwealth. We have asked for bread and they gave us a stoae, for a fi.-<b and they gave U3 a serpent. We have a: j ked for the immediate destruc tion of the saloon, and they gave as a law to cstabli&h it more firmly and perpetuate it among us. We have asked for prohibition and they gave us a license law which contains near ly all the worst features of the old law and embraces in addition the pe culiar and delusive feature of hi'jh li cense, which, while it may dimini b to some extent tue number of saloons, will not, as has been abundantly proven by experience, lessen drunken ness, or diminish in the leust, the evils resulting from the drink traffic. We also object to and protest against the clause which requires that signers of remonstrances be residents of the ward, borough or township for which the license is sought, thereby prevent ing residents of adjoining districts who have business and social inter ests in the said ward, borough or township, from remonstrating against applications for such license. We de nounce this law because it is a com promise with evil, it is in the interest of "respectable" saloons and larger revenues. We denounce it because the legitimate results of the enact ment of such a law is to ease the pub lic conscience, satisfy the demand for temperance legislation with a delusive measure, and postpone indefinitely the submission of the question to a vote of the people, or if submitted ee cure its defeat. We denounpa it be cause it is simply legalizing, fostering and protecting a busi ness under a system of public bribery iiitfh licence and low lies-use are in principle the same, and only diff-.T in the price paid to commit tha crime. Itcxobu-d 7. That the action of the dominant party of tit;.i Biate in refus ing to pass the law forbidding the Bale of intoxicants on Memorial Day gives the lie to their oft repeated dec larations of friendship both f;r the old soldiers and the temperance ele ment Revalued 8. That we deplore and condemn the action of the Court of Quarter Sessions in granting license to sell intoxicating drinks in defiance of the temperance sentiment of the county, legally expressed, and in de , fiance and contempt of the decision of the Supreme of Court; at the sarue , time we cannot but hold the party in ] power responsible for the existence of .i law under which it is possible for a ! judge thus to act,with rendering him i self liable to impeachment. Resolved 9 That we depricate the parading of political issues that ; have worn their grave clothes for a I quarter of a century and declare as t one of our objects the bridging over lof the awful chasm that yet yawns where Mason's and Dixon's line was 1 traced. Resolved 10. That we believe to tal abstiueoce to be among the essen tials of a true labor reform. With every effort of labor to emancipate it self from the rum curse, and with every other just effort to better its condition morally, socially and finan cially we heartily sympathize Resolved 11. that we hereby pledge ourselves to work nuceasingly for the principles we have thus ap proved, and we urge the candid, thoughtful voters of al! parties to give respectful consideration to our declar ations, to rise above the prejudice of the past, to judge from the standpoint of principle and not of party; and if they deem us right to have the cour age of their convictions and join the Prohibition psrty in the battle of the Lome against the saloon lor the peo ple against the liquor power, for statesmanship against domagogury iu all public questions. Most especi ally do we appeal to the Christian Church to throw its mighty influence 'oy the voice of the pulpit and the votes of its members against this ter rible destroyer of men,B bodies and souls. To each and every citizen we ! say, face this question with an en lightened conscience as your guide, and the triumph is sure "For God and Hone and Native Land." Fatal Accident on Horseshoe Bend. The Fast Line West on the P.11.R left Altoona last Fridav evening at 8:10 pm. It was made up of three Pullman cars, two coaches and maii and baggage cars. Approaching Kit tanning Point the passengers, while enjoying the scenery and looking out for Horseshoe Bend, saw a coal traiu descending the other side of the curve. When it began to pass thoai on the south track the passengers were disappointed at being shut out from the lino view before them. Pres ently those riding iu the coaches heard a loud thumping noise, and be fore they had time to consider a dreadful crash came. The sides of the two coaches were partly torn away and the passengers crushed and mangled. An axle under car 59,255 about midway in the coal train had broken just before approaching the passenger train, and while beintj dragged along by the momentum of the train and the weight behind, had lurched to one side after the locomo tives and baggage car had safely passed it. It fell against coach No. 58, striking about the middle of the car and tearing through to the end The car following, coach No, 405, was struck full on the front end by the derailed coa! car, which by this time bad been turned broadside. It crashed iuto the coach one-third of its length and here lodged. When the contact of the coal car with the passenger car occurred the front of the coal train broke away and ran ahead. At the same time the loco motives of Fast Line with the bag gage cars broke away from the coaches. The sudden stopping of the derailed coal car caused a number of cars following to pile up and wreck The rushing sounds of wheels, the horrible grinding of the cars in colli sion had ceased, but more dreadful sounds came from the wreck. It was the cries of the injured and terrified passengers, some of whom were buri ed down among the debris. Those who escaped uninjured and the train men as quickly as possible removed the sufferers from the mass of shat tered timbers. In the meantime the railroad authorities in Altoona were notified of the occurrence. Superin tendents Pettit, Hutchinson arid Shepherd and their assistants were soon in consultation, and messengers were quickly sent in all directions no tifying the wrecking force, physicians and others whoso services were nec essary. A train was made up in the depot and at 9:40 o'clock it started for the scene of the disaster. Six stretchers, a medicine chest, and nec essary appliances for dressing wounds and making the wounded comfortable were taken along. After tho relief train had gone some minutes, the wrecking traiu pulled out of the depot. On their arrival they commenced clearing the debris from the south track, and at 11 o'clock had cleared it so that the cars comprising tho relief train could pass over it. The uninjured passengers and those who had no friends among the dead and injured boarded this train and continued on their journey west. The injured having been placed in the first sleeper were attended by the Altoona hospital staff and made as comfortable as possible. The names of the victims are: KILLED. Dale B. Graham, sou of ex Speaker Graham, Allegheny, Pa; J. 11. Stauff r, of Lewisviile, O ; Wyman Sriydrr, one-legged man, Shamokeo, Pa.; John Dorris, newsboy, East Liberty, Pa. THE INJURED.

The story that Bob Ingersoll had ceased fighting God is contradicted. Ben Periy Poore, the celebrated Washington Newspaper correspond ent and author, is dead. Louisiana has the prohibition craze. She proposes to abolish the bar at the mouth of the Mississippi. "You have been tried by twelve of your peers," said Judge Moore, of New York, in passing the death sen tence on Greenwald last week. That is rather rough on the jury. The crop of ladies over a hundred years of nge who were intimately ac quainted with the Washington fami ly is unusually large this year. One of them has the little hatchet with which Georgo cut down tho cherry tree, and another has tho lie that he could uot tell. A Talk With Blaine--He Tells all About His Proposed Trip to Europe. NEW VoitK, May 31 —The World will print to-morrow aa elaborate ac count of a visit made bj a eorrespoa deat to Mr Blaine, at bid home in Augusta, Me , and afterward at his cottage at Bar Harbor, iu the course of which Mr. Blaine gave fully his plans for his forthcoming trip, discus sed the false reports of his failing health, aud referred at length to the work he had bestowed upon his books just finished. He says his visit abroad will extend over niure than a year, and doubtless beyond the time of the meeting of next national con vention. Mr. Biaine said: lam going abroad and expect to be gone about a year- Mrs Blaine and my two daughters, Marguerite and Hattie, will make up tlie party I have engaged staterooms on the Gtrnian Lloyd's ship Euis, which sails June B—Wednesday week. I intended to go a little earlier on the Etruria, of the Cunard line, but the ships are very much crowded, and I could not get the accoaimodations I wanted. We shall stop at South ampton, and go at once to London. We intend to spend a considerable time traveling through Great Britain After leaving England we wiil prob ably go to Scotland aud Ireland. Then, I think, we shall spend a time in Germany, and, after that, take in France. WHERE HE WILL WINTER. By this time it will probably be getting so late iu the year that Spain and Italy wiil be comfortable. We intend to make a tour through both of these countries and spend next winter along the Mediterranean. We will probably make long visits iu Rome and Greece, perhaps stop a brief time in Constantinople, aud vis it the scenes of the earthquake in the south of France and adjoining por tions of Italy. A year is sufficient to cover a great deal of ground without hurrying. The correspondent asked ; "How about the report, Mr. Blaine ,that you contemplate in soma way assisting Mr. Gladstone aud th;j Home Rule party?" "That story is purely imagination. I never had such an idea in my mind. No, indeed, I shall do nothing of the kind " "It ha.s been widely published that your trip to Europe is for the benefit of your health. Is that the case? "It is very curious about that re port. I have been made sick by va rious newspapers at various times, and first aud last have been made to have nearly every malady that I know of. I have had Brigbt's disease, a torpid liver, affection of the heart, paralysis, nervous debility, and, well, I don't kuow now, but, at any rate, a good many other diseases. As I said, it is curious how the stories start. I have, in fact, been singular ly free from sickness. I hive hai hardly a sick day ia my life, never at any time serious; and I never had an organic trouble of any kind." THE UURCIIAIID INCIDENT Mr. Blaine positively declined to talk about politics, except that, wLile in conversation with the correspon dent in his cottage at liar Harbor, he said, in regard to the Burehard inci dent of 1884: ' I did not hear what he said, but the reporters heard it,and next day every paper in the country had it, of course. But, as a matter of fact, I did not hear it myself. Away out in Indiana they hud it that I said it Ob, yes, it went all over the State that way. In a good many pieces in the West they hud slips ol pnper printed with 'Read what Mr Blaine says' on them, and distributed them in front of churches on Su id ty. That is what lost me the thfeu e'ec tion. You kuow, of course, how close it was. Well, in New York City aloue it lost me several thousand votes—a good deal more than enough to have carried the Slate. I have never felt sure that I was not elected It was a matter of less than 600 votes to have turned New York the other way. When it is as close as that there can be no certainty of the count. Ido not think it can ever be said with certainty which one of u? really got the most votes." The report, which occupies about five columns of the World, embraces many other points, not political, concerning Mr. Blaine and his views. A BAD BLUNDER. Tho New Revenue Act Not At tested by the Proper Oilicials. IIARUISBURG, May 31.—The aston ishing discovery was made today that the new revenue act now under action of the Governor cannot become a law, because it lacks the Constitu tional requirement of being signed by the presiding officers of both branches of the Legislature. In short, the revenue bill never received the signa tures of President pro tem Smith nor Lieut Gov. Davies iu the Senate. Goy. Beaver was loth to believe that the bill was dead, but there was no alternative, and ho consulted with State Treasurer Quay, Auditor-Gen eral Norris aud Secretary Stoue over the matter. The result was a decis ion that the incompleteness of the sig- Latures killed the bill. There are several reasons given as to how the law was thus sent to the (Joveruor, but the most plausible is that when it was signed by the Speaker of the House tho Message Clerk in tho House forgot to take it to the Senate for the signature of the chief officer of that body, but instead took it to the Executive Department. Tho Senate record as to concurring in the report of the Committej ol Conference is all right aud the House was informed of this action. Tho bill mu3t he taken to tho Governor by the Message Clerk of the branch in which it originates and in this case it was Message Clerk Taylor's duty alter it was signed by tho President of tho Senate. There are some who say that it was the work of souio ol the corpora tions which are heavily taxed by the new law, but this can hardly hold good. The new act gave to counties one half of the personal tax levied, about $1,000,000 a year, and it is in tiuiated that tho Governor will be nnkt-d to call an extra session ot the Legislature. According to his pres ent views, however, the Governor will not call the extra session There will be a great cutting down of appro priations, but this will depend upon tho estimated returns to tin Stite of monejs under the high license act.
