James C. Brown, Esq., editor of
the Advance Argus, Greenville, Pa.,
and H. H. Byram, Esq. editor of the
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph, were
amoDg the numerous outsiders who
paid Bntler a visit during this week.
—Hon. Charles McCandles? and
Porter W. Lowry, Efeq. returned
borne Monday last from their camp
ing and fishing trip to Lake Musko
ka, Canada. They bad some narrow
escapes from drowning, bears, etc.,
bat look brown as nuts and all the
better for the tour. Muakoka is 400
miles north of Butler.
TOE Washington, Pa, Daily Re
porter entered upon its twelfth year
on the sth inst. This is a longer ex
istence than dailies started in some
country towns attained and speaks as
well for the success of its enterprising
proprietors as for the growing pros
perity of "Little Washington."
—Daring the late heated term, for
tbe past month or so, very few of onr
subscribers ventured to Butler or
to pay their subscription accounts, as
we know they would like to have
done- But the weather beginning
to cool off now we have this week
bad a call from some of them, anJ are
looking for many more between this
and tbe coming September term of
Court, commencing Monday, Sept. 5.
Mr. J. K. Brittain, of Greenville
Pa. an accomplished artist in crayon
painting, has been visiting Butler
with a view of doing some work here.
Specimens of tbe pictures be can
make-pure crayon-can be seen in the
show windows of tbe Pape store.
Any of our citizens desiring a picture
of themselves or friends would do well
to call on Mr. Brittain. Ilis pictures
•re mncb admired and be makes
tbem at very low rates.
Now that tbe fact of Ilenry M
Stanley's safety is beyond all ques
tion, tbe whole civilized world is re
joicing over it. Mr. Stanley never
bad so good a proof of tbe world's
appreciation of bis worth as he now
bas, or will have when be bears tbe
news, in its rejoicing tbat be is not
dead —that be still lives to labor in
tbe cause of mankind and the advance
of commerce. He is one of tbe heroes
who bas won imperishable fame with
out inflicting wrong of any kiud on
bif fellow creatures. Like Columbus,
Americus and Sebastian Cabott,
Stanley bas opened a continent to
commerce. He cannot perhaps »be
rated as a discoverer, though be has
revealed many new things in tbe
land of Africa never known before,but
bo did more tban either of tbe great
navigators referred to, in developing
a land which other men before bim
only made a bunting ground for
slaves or wild beasts. It is tbis
wbicb endears Mr. Stanley to man
kind, and wbicb makes tbem r«joicc
now tbat be still lives.
The Plate Glass Works.
A visit to tbe new Plate Glass
Works erected here is necessary in
order to obtain a full conception of
tbeir extent and magnitude. There
are many glass works in tbis cpuntry
of various kinds but there are but
lew plate glass works. And this
one nere, which makes plate glass
only, is said to be one of four or five
in tbe United States, and is one of
tbe very largest of them. Tbe
buildings alone, now about complet
ed, cover from four to five acres of
ground.
It in worth a visit to tb<;Bo works
to witness and learn of the material*
used and tbe procesH of making plate
glass. Sand, lime, soda and various
chemical and other material* are used.
Tbe sand, an important item, in
brought awaj from tbo State of Mis
souri, where a superior kind can be
obtained. The different processes in
mixing and prepairiug these materi
als. before going into the great hot
ovens for melting, and tbe cooling,
finishing and other processes after the
ovens, are all points of ioterest and
Instruction.
These Works are a great credit to
the builders and will be a great bene
fit to Butler. Several Pittsburg cap
italists are interested in them. Tho
number of laborers employed in aud
about them; the buildings required
for them to live in; tbe natural gas
that the works will consume, there
with other things make these works
give our place a large increase ol
trade and business, as well os of pop
ulation. Some large plates have al
ready been make, and in a few weeks
the best of finished plate glass, of tbe
largest sizes, will be ready for the
BR numerous orders already received by
tbe company. Tbe make is said to
be equal to tbe best French plate
glntfl that not long since was such a
costly article to obtain in this coun
m UJ
District Nominations.
We are pleased to find the follow
ing in Repnblicao papers of this Con
gressional district, by which it will
be seen our efforts to bring about a
change in the manner of nomina
ting candidates, are receiving atten
tion and being endorsed in the other
counties of the district.
The Beaver, Pa. Times, of the 4th
inst has the following to say:
Mr. Negley, of the Butler Citizen,
in several elaborate articles, urges
the abolition of the conferree system,
and the substitution of some other
more satisfactory mode in the select
ion of candidates for Congress, in
this now newly formed Congression
al District. He says that Mercer has
already moved for a change; Butler
is ready to move also; and that the
co-operation of Beaver a&d Lawrence
only is wanted to secure District
Conference, in which the whole mat
ter can be thoronghly considered
There are Berious drawbacks, it must
be confessed, to the Conferree system
that has so long been in vogue; and
if a plan can be devised by which
nominations ean hereafter be made
more expeditiously, more satisfacto
rily to the voters, and less costly to
the candidates,the time spent by com
mitttees from the respective counties
would be well spent in the effort to
find out and elaborate such plan.
Elsewere this week we reproduce
from the Butler Citizen a timely ar
ticle in regard to the proposed
change in making Congressional
nominations. It will be seen that
Bro. Negley favors the Popular Vote
system over the Delegate system,
and we feel constrained to add our
testimony that the popular
system is the one to be preferred, for
tbe reason that it is the fairest and
most in keeping with the spirit of
our government, which is essen
tially popular in its natnre. The
delegate system would be simply the
conferree system on an enlarged scale
—at least it could be so made—and
we want to get as far away from the
latter system as possible. By the
popular vote the fittest will survive,
and that is as it should be in a popu
lar government. We commend the
article in question to the careful con
sideration of all concerned.—Green
ville Valley News., Aug 5.
Prom the above we are encoura
ged to believe that all the counties
will appoint Committees, to meet
and confer on the subject. Lawrence
county is the only one from which we
bare noticed no expression in the
press, but we hare no doubt her Re
publican County Committee will act
in due time. The Chairman of tbis
county will announce his committee
in a short time. The earlier there
is a meeting ot the committees the
better. And now having said all we
have to say on the subject we leave
the matter to their hands.
Adoption of the Constitution.
The adoption of the National Con
stitution, which is soon to be cele
brated at Philadelphia, was one of
the most important events in our po
litical history. The origin of that
grate instrument dates back to the
very earliest stage of our colonial
existence. There were originally
three different forms of Government
in the colonies—the Charter, the
Proprietary and the Royal. These
were changed with the changing
conditions of the cuionies, but during
'he'" continuance, and operating as
they did upon a people so widely
separated in habits and manners as
the Puritans of New England, the
Cavaliers of Virginia and Quakers
of Pennsylvania, they produced di
versities in legislation which it was
difficult to reconcile and harmonize
at later periods.
Common dangers and mutual in
terests rendered necessary some sort
of union. The first leaguo was the
United Colonics of New England,
formed in 1643. This lasted forty
years, and on it was engrafted the
principles of a delegated Congress,
It was not until May, 1775, that the
first Congress of the thirteen States
assembled in Philadelphia. It was
tbis body that formulated and icsued
the Declaration of Independence. In
November, 1777, Congress agreed
upon the celebrated Articles of Con
federation, which lasted until the
termination of the Revolution and
the adoption of Constitution in 1788.
The defects in the old Articles
were numerous, and the demands for
a more "perfect union" wore pressing
and imperative.
(Jen. Washington led off in a move
ment having for its purpose an indis
soluble union of the States under
one Federal head. This culminated
in the convention of delegates from
twelve States, ia 1787, which met
in Philadelphia and adopted tbo pres
ent Constitution. It wa<* on Mon
day, September 17, 1787, that the
convention was enabled to pass a
resolution to lay the completed in
strument "beforo the United States
in Congress assembled," and to
recommend that it should afterwards
be submitted to a Convention of
Delegates chosen in each State by
the people thereof, for their assent
and ratification." The terms of this
resolution were complied with in a
letter addressed by the convention to
the old Congress, bearing even date
with the resolution. Eleven days
thereafter the Congress unanimously
resolved that the report, with tbo
resolutions and letter accompanying
the same, bo transmitted to the sev
eral Legislatures, in order to be sub
mitted to a Convention of Delegates
cbotten in each State by tbe people
(hereof. Tbo Constitution was rati
fied by tbe conventions of the several
States at different dates, Delaware
leadiag off December 7, 1787, and
followed by Pennsylvania December
12, 1787. By November, 1788, all
tbe States save one (Rhode Island)
bad ratified tbe instrument, tbe latter
State assenting in May, 1700. I'UU

Bills Sent.
Some who are in arrears pay no
attention to bills sent by publishers.
Tbis is a mistake. No bills are sent
unless the mouey is needed, and the
giving no attention to tbem often
places publishers in difficulty. Re
cently a mini her of bills were sent
from tbis office and we hope those re
ceiving tbem will give tbem prompt
attention, if not already done so.
Tbis will apply in some cases to sub-'
scribers out of tbe county and state,
who should be tbo more punctual, as
their papers cost more to send tbau
those living at home here. Between
tbis and tbe Sept. Court coming we
will look to hear from all to wbom
bills bare been sent, and if they can
not respond in full, write us at least
on tbe subject.
The Kentucky Lesson.
It matters not whether General
Backner's majority for Governor of
Kentucky shall be 5,000 or 20,000
when the official count comes along.
When the Democrats of Kentucky
can't muster 40,000 majority in a
State campaign with an unusually
full vote polled, it means that the
leaven of revolution is beginning to
work in Kentucky politics, and the
headlong leaders who have been rush
ing on on the basis that the greatness
and prosperity of the whole nation
centered in the Whisky Ring, would
do well to call a halt loifg enough to
look around aod take an account of
stock.
It is idle to say that State contests
don't call out the vote according to
party convictions. It is just such
struggles which develop the actual
convictions of the people, and which
give the most emphatic admonitions
to party leaders. In national con
tests many voters will sacrifice much
for party sake; but when State issues
are vitalised and enlist general popu
lar interest, the people admonish and
chasten reckless leaders by open re
volt. Sometimes they break square
ly to the opposition, but the couveni
e'nt halfway political base of Prohibi
tion or Labor serves the purpose of
calling a halt in offensi/e party policy
without getting clear off into the
ranks of the enemy.
The Democrats of Kentucky have
not been worsted by any atill hunt.
The Republicans put their candidate
for Governor in the field, declared
their belief on national and State
issues, took the stump in manly de
fense of their faith, and contested the
battle at every step. In like manner
the Prohibitionists unfurled their cold
water flag, went to the people with
their cause, and they with the Labor
voters, confessed the defeat of the
Democracy to be their objective point.
It was a square battle for and against
Kentucky Democracy "as she is
taught," and if it is not a Democratic
defeat, it is a victory of that class
that another such victory would
make Kentucky Republican
Kentucky has been run since the
war on high-pressure Whisky Ring
politics, and the men who ruled so
successfully for many years in sub
mission to a fearful and oppressive
monopoly, finally assumed to rulu
the natioa as the tail of the Kentucky
Whisky Ring dog. In order to main
tain the Whisky monopoly there must
be a bigb tax on whisky, and when
the manufacturers who are in the ring
overproduce, they expect tLe govern
ment to bank them over for a more
favorable market. In short, they de
mand a high tax on whisky to brace
op the lines of the monopoly, but
they reserve the right to pay or not
pay the tax, a3 may be most conveni
ent for the manufacturers. To sus
tain the high internal taxes, the Ken
tucky leaders logically drifted into
free trade, and their political policy,
practically stated, favors protection to
a single monopoly and destruction to
every other manufacturing industry.
It is this rapid drift of Kentucky
Democratic leaders to whisky monop
oly and their attempt to force it up
on the natiou with all its logical con
sequences, that has unsettled the pol
itics of Kentucky and has forced
thousands of Democratsto join the Pro
hibition or Labor parties to admon
ish those who are rushing the Demo
crats to destruction. Beyond the in
terests of the Whi.-key Ring and
the free trade dream that come 3 from
it, and the frantie demands for old
time spoils and plunder, no public
question has found favor with the
Kentucky Democratic leader?; and
they are now brought up with a
round turn by the people, because the
people want schools and factories
quite as well as they want distilleries
or party plunder. This is the lesson
of the Kentucky election, and if the
Democrats of that Btate fail to see in
it the handwriting on the wall
against prostituting a great party to
whisky monopoly, free trade and
party pluader, it will be safe to class
the State of Henry Clay and of the
American System as doubtful in
future political contests.—Philadel

Reception to the 11th Penna.
Reserves.
From all appearances the reception
that will bo given by the citizms of
Butler to the survivors of 11th Regi
ment of the I'enn'a Reserves, at
their Reunioo here on Sept. 21, will
be as creditable to our people as it
will be pleasant to the Reserves. In
another place will lie seen the proceed
ings of a meeting held by our citizens,
and the committees appointed to
make the proper arrangements for,the
Reunion, and the duties of each com
mittee, and, in a word, for giving
the 11th Reserves a right royal and
grand reception here. They will be
entertained by our people while here.
A general banquet will be given
them. The town will be decorated
with flags,banners and streamers. An
address of welcome will be extended
to them, and everything done to
muke their Reunion here one that
will surpass that of any yet had.
The different committees have or
Boon will l*o ull at work, and as
plenty of time remaius between this
and Sept. 21, to complete all the ar
rangments contemplated, we look for
a grand gula day here on that date.

A Case of Interest.
A case came before 'Squire lla/.en
lant Saturday, which to say the least
was au uncommon one. Summed up
briefly, it was as follows: Philip
Shafer, of Hickory, had runted a farm
of Aleck Summerville for one year
from April I, and in the fall of
that year he sowed five acres of
wheat with the priv ilego of cutting
it. Meanwhile Solomon I'eters had
bought the farm, and sowed tfce
wbeatfield with grass Beed, getting
possession of the farm on April 1,
1887. The wheat proved a failure,
and as there was a lino crop of clover
on tho ground, Schafer mowed the
field and secured several tons of hay
Peters then brought suit against
Scbafer for trespass and damage, and
after hearing the evidence on both
sides Justice Hazun gave Peters judg
ment for $25 and costs, amounting to
in all to A number of farmers
were present at the hearing, and they
say that in all their experiened they
never heard of a similar case, u-t also
Justice Ha/.en. Tbe decision is of
some importance, as it demostrates
that renters cannot practice what is
commonly known as "skinning a
farm".— tiharptiville Time*.

The Constitutional Centennial.
The Constitutional Centennial
Commission has issued a quite elo
quent address to the people of the Uni
ted States outlining the program of
the celebration at Philado. in Sep
tember and inviting goneral attention
to the importance of the anniversary.
Although the commission was a little
late in getting under way there is
now DO doubt that the celebration
will be one of most interesting of the
whole series of centennial observances
and worthy the event it is to com
memorate.
The first of this series was in Phil
adelphia, the Carpenters' Hall cele
bration of 1574. Next came the
anniversaries of Lexington and Bun
ker Hill, in which New England. took
the lead, and then the central event
of all. the centennial of independence
and the great exhibition in Philadel
phia* After this were minor com
memorations of military events, lead
ing up to the anniversary of the final
victory at Yorktown, when Virginia
claimed her share in the national
rejoicing.
Now for the third time the people
are bidden to Philadelphia, where the
Continental Congress first assembled,
where the Declaration cf Indepen
dence was promulgated, and where
finally was framed the Federal Con
stitution, which defined and perpetu
ated the uniou of the States whos-e
independence had been secured by
such infinite sacrifice. The event to bo
commemorated in September is thus
of importance second to no one of the
others, and whilo the success of the
celebration will depend upon the co
operation of all the States, it must
especially rest upon Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia to make it not less
attractive and dignified than any that
have preceded it, nor less worthy of
"the city of the Declaration, the city
of the Constitution, the Mecca of
America."— J'lrilaJidphia Timcx.
A Beaver Valley Snako Story.
From New Js'ewn.]
About two weeks ago a little
ICnglish lad named Serby, who lives
in Fcttermau, took a banket and went
to the neighborhood of Wallnco Kun
for bcrricH. On tb<; road homo while
crossing a fi«ld bo found a number of
round, white balls übout UH large as
wainiitn. Those bo put in his basket
and carried home. AH Hoon as bin
father saw them ho pronounced them
turtle'rt eggs, and as they had at that
time a bon that wan anxious to hot,
and in fact bad been setting round on
brickbats, lumps of coal and other
thing* of like nature, be concluded he
would try an experiment ju»t (or cu
riosity. Ho the supposed turtle
eggs were plaeed under the heu ajd
she'was left alone in her glory.
About a week after that, one bright
morning, the family was startled by
the greatest commotion in the chicken
yard. I'pon running to learn the
cause, what was their horror to see
the place literally alive with black
snakes, that were darling In and out
beneath the old setting lieu and wrig
gling round at a great rate. The
supposed turtle eggs were those of a
black snake and the lieu bad hatched
them out. The snake;* were, on an
average, about six inches long and as
lively as crickets. They would pro
trude their heads from beneath the
old hen's wings, and dart their little
red tongues out at any one .vho
would approach them.
The Serby family looked on ia
astonishment until one of the snakes
wrapped itself round its foster moth
er's neck, and began to choke bar to
death; then they procured slicks and
went to work killing oil' the horrid
brood. Alter killing 28, the remain
der, about half a do/en that had
taken refuge under tbo old hen, were
allowed to live, and it i" said she
takes as much care of them as if they
were Utile chicks- Wherever she
goes they follow, arid eeem to know
her cluck. She scratches diligently
for them all day, but no one has yet
seen them cat. At night they crawl
under her wings and sleep soundly.
It is a queer family.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Thomas
Sackell Baldwin leaped into tame arid
the attentions of about 30,000 people
at lloekaway this afternoon abuut as
easily and gently as a smart terrapin
could slide off a log. He made his
bound into glory from the side of a
balloon about 1,200 feet above the
low-tide water of Jamaica Bay, just
inside the coast line, and gently drop
ped into notoriety and muddy water
under a well-built young and active
parachute. The parachute with
which most people are familiar is to
be found only in the illustrations of
the dictionary. The parachute Tho
mas used wasn't built that w«y. It
was, in fact, very near fitting the de
scription a young fighting man gave
of it, "A feather-weight balloon."
At a few minutes past 5 o'clock
Tom Baldwin came cut in his 'cute
little uniform ot pink stockinet. It
fitted him like his skin and revealed
a pleasant-looking young fellow about
5 feet 8 inches high, and weighing
about 170 pounds. He is strongly
built and his muscles bulged out tbe
stockinet about the shoulders and
back. He wore green trunks, with
the reddest of red carnations embroid
ered on each hip.
A dozen men took hold of the an
chor ropes and unhooked the sand
bags. Tom stepped into the balloon
basket and took a final haul at all the
ropes. At 5:17 o'clock he said:—"Let
her go, everybody," and everybody
let her go. A long quarter inch rope
trailed from the basket and was turn
ed {.round Thomas Brosuan's youug
willow tree- The air-ship rose gen
tly and slowly passed over the Grand
Republic as Tom Baldwin passed out
tbe rope. When she had risen about
300 yards Torn Baldwin pulled out a
wicked looking carving knife and cut
his balloon free. She shot aloft
straight as an arrow. Tom leaned
over the edge waving his white hand
kerchief- When the balance was a
bout 1,200 feet high and the aeronaut
looked as big us an organ-grinder's
monkey, he climbed over the edge of
the basket, grabbed the ring of his
parachute, and with a quick stroke of
the knife set it free. Down it plun
ged without catching the air. It
looked as if Tom Baldwin was a
doomed man, when in an instant the
sides of the parachute bellied out, the
craft swayed easily from side to side
and then floated earthward as gently
as a falling apple blossom. She
swayed a little though, and Baldwin
swung in pendulum-fashion until he
touched this world on a sand flat in
Jamaica Bay, about a thousand yards
from where he started - It took him
1 minute 24 1-5 seconds by Gen.
Giannini's watch to make the descent
Standing knee-deep in the water he
waved his handkerchief again, which
inspired the thousands to do more
great feats of cheering.

A Close Call.
CRAWFORD'S CORNERS, PA., Aug.
6th, 1887.
EDITOR CITIZEN.— Dear Sir: The
brick house of the writer, near Craw
ford's Corners, was struck by light
ning last night, shuttering one corner
of the chimney top and taring off
the cornice and shattering the end of
the roof badly. Entering tbe tin
spouting, it followed it to where it
emptied the water into a wooden
trough placed to carry the water to a
barrel, shattering the wooden spout
ing and taring several staves out of
one side of the barrel.
The shock was felt by all in the
house, (four persons) and all being in
different rooms, but no one seriously
injured. It is altogether likely if it
had not been for a heavy raiu that
fell before the shock, that the roof
would have ignited and probably
burned the whole house.
The loss is fully covered by in
surance. J. R.
Allegheny Township News.
EDS. CITIZEN. —There are two
paths in life. The one leads to honor,
success, and happiness. The other
path is too well-known to need any
description. Every person starting
out on the path of life should form
the solemn purpose to make the most
and the beso of tfca powers which
God lias given theni. After duly
considering the two paths of life, we
must acknowledge that the people of
Allegheny township and surround
ing community, did choose the right
path in life, when they found their
way to the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
•John N. Sloan, Jaly 30tb, 1887, to
celebrate the 47th birthday of Mr.
Slcao. Mr. Sloan was absent when
the crowd assembled. A message
was sent for him. Mr. Sloan wan
noted for being a brave soldier in tbn,
war of the Rebellion ; but when he
came in sight of his dwelling he saw
it was useless for him to attempt to
surround about 200 guests who were
congregated in and about his house,
aud he manfully surrendered. As
soon as Mr. Sloan saw that his prison
life was not a bard one, the men
erected two tables in the grove, and
the good women soon spread the
tables with the necessaries of life.
Mr. and Mrs. Sloan were escorted to
the head of one of the tables, and af
ter a blessing by Mr. James McClin
tock, the good things were relished
by many friends of Mr. Sloan. After
dinner the meeting was called to or
der aud Mr. Isaac Miller was chosen
President arid John Thomas Secre
tary. The President called on Mr.
James MeClintoek, who made a good
speech on the occasion. Mr. Miller
was called on and made an ablu
speech, giving Mr. Sloan's adven
tures and war history, and a brief
history of his social life in his h6me
and among his fricatUr At the close
of-h'.s speech ho returned thanks to
the audience for their friendship to
wards Mr. Sloan and his fumily on
that occasion. J. T.

Struck By Lightning.
FRANKI.IN, I'A ,Aug. o. A terrible
storm, amounting almost to a cyclone,
passed over thi .*• city last night, doing
a vast amount of damage. The west
ern part of tho city was inundated.
A 15,000 barrel tank of oil, belonging
to the Eclipse Oil Company, was de
bt roved by a II ish of lightning, and
for a time threatened the destruction
of the entire oil works, tho largest in
the world. The burning oil formed n
pool against the tracks of the New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and
the I,'ike Shore Road track, delaying
all trains.
The loss by the fi;*o will reach

Death of Edward M. Bredin,
Esq.
Edward M. Bredin, E*q died at his
residence in this place on Tuesday
evening last, Aug. 9, at the age of
68 years.
Mr. Bredin had been in failing
health for some time past and his
death was not therefore wholly unex
pected. He eanio to this county
from Carlisle, Pa, when a young
mau and was admitted to the Bar
herein 18.39 As a lawyer ho was
well read in all the branches of the
legal profession, and his memory of
cases and decisions of Courts was re
markable. This familiarity with
cases decided and wonderful memory
in retaining and citing tjicm, gave
hiui a wide reputation and practice
He was also a quick and keen witted
man, and of far more than ordinary
learning in ulmost ail branches of
t-cholaraiiip. Owicg to failing health
he had not been in tbe active practice
of the law for some years past. His
death removes from the Bar here its
oldest member.
The remains of Mr. Bredin were in
interred in tbe North Cemetery on
Thursday last, services being held in
the Episcopal Cfcurcb, of which he
and his family were members.
The Bi-monthiy Pay Law.
The new law requiring that cor
porations pay their employes semi
monthly, and which went into effect
Monday, August Ist, is only being
partially observed in this State
The miners at nearly all of tbe
works -have giveu notification that
they expect to receive their wages
hereafter semi-monthly, dating from
August 1. This is in conformity
with the circular sent out by the
Executive Board of the Miners' Na
tional Assembly No. 35, Knights of
Labor.
Some time since the men went out
on a strike for semi-ruouthly pay at
the works of Sanford & Co. and
Beadling Bros., on the Tom's Run
branch of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie ltailroad. They were out but a
day when the matter was settled by
the firms agreeing to the proposed
terms of payment* Several other
members of the Pittsburg Railroad
Coal Association are also paying ac
cording to the new law. Others will
probably succeed in making individual
arrangements with their men. There
is a prospect of a test case being made
where the firms insist on paying only
once a month.
Drought And Fires.
CmcAoo, Aug. 9—Telegrams re
ceived this morning from central
points throughout the entire 75,000
square miles of drought-stricken
North western country show the fear
ful sun-scorching of all vegetation
continues unmitigated. Not a drop
of rain has fallen, except .08 inch at
Des Moines, a bare sprinkle on the
Seep uHSV. -'Local observations in the
various districts have given but little
hopo of a break within the coming
tweuty-four hours. A trifle cooler
weather and scattered light showers
are expected in some places, but tie
conditions arc such that if the possi
ble little moisture and coolness are
at all delayed their effect will be total
ly lost in a seemingly imminent fur
ther general riso of temperature from
end to end of the drought region.
IN THE CHICAGO SUHCRIIS.
The effects of the drought in Chi
cago was noticeable in many small
fires to-day, but they convey no idea
of the condition of things in the coun
try immediately surrounding the city.
Never beforo have the farmers and
residents of the suburbs suffered so
from tV> heat and dry weather. All
around the vegetables of the small
gardeners have been killed. All
along the railroad tracks the prairies
are on lire, and the residents of the
suburbs are called out at all hours of
the duy and night to extinguish the
flames when they threaten the barns
and bouses.
The Tavern Licenses.
The constables of the various
wards of Philadelphia who had fail
ed to mukf! returns of licensed and un
licensed houses in the first week in
every term, as required by tho pro
visions of tho new liquor law, Tues
day morning up[»eared beforo Judge
Bregy, who hud issued rules against
them to show cause why they should
not be suspended. After hearing
their excuses the .Fudge said: —"The
failure seems to have arisen from an
ignorance of the law. The constables
don't seem to have understood the
law at all. The law in the first place
requires them, whether there are un
licensed places or not, to make return
of all persons selling liquor within
their bailiwick, and the act further
provides that that should be done tho
first of every month. If the constable
does not make his return it is the
duty of tho Judge holding court to
see that it is done, ami the Court is
given tho power of suspending the
constable until trial for that offense.
An ignorance of the law is no excuse,
and a failure to comply with it makes
the constable liablo to a line of SSOO
and an imprisonment not excediug
two years. It would probably be a
harsh and severe measure if 1 should
hold you to the heaviest penalties of
the law at this time. As the law is
a new one I do not want to do it.
There has been some question as to
when the law went into effect, and
that has been decided by the Court.
I will do nothing further if the con
stables will make thoir reports
I am satisfied that, as thoir attention
has been called to the matter publicly,
they will comply with tho provisions
of the law in the future." — Ex.
