McKay, a prosperous farmer of Pioe twp., Mercer couaty, was shot by his brother-in-law, J. H. Harrison, who then attempted his own life. The ball entejed McKay's head just back of the ear, took a downward course and lodged in the jaw. Har rison then shot himself in the mouth and stomach, and cut his throat. He went to his brother-in-law's house Saturday. Monday morning he went to the stable with McKay and when about half way back to the houss he stepped behind McKay and shot him as described. McKay turned to grap ple him, but before reaching him Har rison had drawn a butcher-knife and was flourishing it threateningly. Mc- Kay ran to the house and Harrison Btarted on a run toward the woods. Reaching the woods he made the des perate attempt to kill himself as stat ed. He was a well-to do farmer of Lake twp , Mercer county, ond was never considered a vicious man. He was suspicious that McKay was try ing to secure control of his property and would try to prove him incapable of conducting bis business. This is the mo3t probable cause of the crime. It is generally believed that Harri son is iu3*ne. One of his brothers is in the insane asylum. Harrison is unmarried and although in good cir cumstances lived alone on his farm. —ln these days of numerous burg laries and nncaught burglars, it is re freshing to note the celerity with which a gang of ruffans, who attempt ed to rob the family of Jacob Wagner at Tionesta, on the 3rd of May, were dealt with. One of the fellows was killed on the spot by young Wagner's rifle and the body of another was found about two miles distant a few days after. The rest were followed, caught and tried the week after. It took the jury only ten minutes to find then guilty of burglary and felonious shooting with intent to commit mur der. Judge Brown completed the good work by sentencing the convicts to ten years' imprisonment. This is a prompt, sure retribution which is very satisfactory to an ordinary ob server. Notice.

RESOLUTIONS. The Republicaa party of Butler ! county iu annual convention, Re solves, Ist. That we reaffirm the princi ! pies enunciated by the National Re publican Conventijn, which met in Chicago in June, 1884, and put in nomination the distinguished states man who so gallantly led the ever memorable contest of that year. 2d. Tbat in the death of John A. Logan, the soldier' statesman, the country has sustained a great loss and the Republican party has bereaved of the counsel of one of its ablest leaders—a leader who was a favorite with the people and esteemed as a brother by his comrades in arms. We revere his memory alike tor his heroism in the field, his ability in the Senate and his most distinguished virtues as a citizen. 3d That we have an abiding faith in the purity and ability of the ad ministration of Governor Beaver. To him the people look for the pro tection of the interests and the honor of the §late. 4ih. That the defeat of the "Bil lingsley" bill by the Senate was an act of gross injustice to one of the most important industries of the State, at the instance of a gigantic corporation We are al the same time gratified to know that our Rep resentatives in both the House and Senate gave the measure their hearty support. sth. That the Republican party has always sympathized with the la boring interests of the country and shall ever remain ready to render them such assistance as from time to time may be deemed necessary to protect them from an unlawful and selfish combination of capital inimical to their interests. Gth. That in the free education of the rising generation through the public school system rests the safety and glory of our Republican system. The admirable system of our own State should be upheld by the uuited sentiment and support of our whole people. 7tb. That we congratulate the people that the Republican party has kept its pledge with them in prompt ly formulating and passing the con stitutional amendment in relation to the manufacture and sale of intoxica ting liquors as a beverage, and that the proposed constitutional provision should be repassed by the Legislature of 'B9, and promptly thereafter sub mitted to the people of the State for their approval or rejection. Bth. That we deeply regret the retrograde step taken by our Court the present year, creating, as it does, a syndicate in the business and bring ing, as it does,drunkenness and disor der on our streets, and to many homes only misery and want, 9th. That while we regret to real ize that the liquor league is thus en joying a present victory we have an abiding faith that right makes might and will ultimately prevail. In this faith let us endeavor to "do our duty as we understand it," with an un swerving conviction that the time is not far distant when those engaged in the liquor business will fied some employment not so injurious to soci ety; when the promotion of domestic ha piness—the protection of the home —shall be realized as the highest duty of all. 10th. That our Delegates to the State Convention be instructed to vote for a Chairman of the State Cen tral Committee from the western part of the State. 11th. That the State Committee be asked to innke a change in the method of our district nominations. 12th. That the candidates this day put in nomination are worthy of our confidence, and wo pledge them our hearty support. 13th. That tho thanks of the con vention be extended to the Opera Houso Company for their kindness in allowing the convention the use cf tho building. J. F. Cochran, J. H. Bell, M. N. Greer, E. 11.
