Attempted Murder and Suicide
in Mercer County.
Early last Monday morning, Thos.
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.

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.
