Ho*. THOMAS M MARSHALL, and
A. M. Brown, of the Pittsburg
Bar, were in attendance at our Court
hat week and this week, being con
earned in a case of much importance
and which was finally settled in their
favor on Tuesday last. Mr. Mar
shal! retains bis old-time vigor and
MAJ. Brown is as young in ap
pearance and movement as
twenty years ago. No member of
tbe Pittsburgh Bar stands higher or
is more respected than Mr. Brown.
He is engaged in almost all impor
tant cases. They both have many
friends in this county who are al
ways pleased to meet them.
Beaver County.
Tbe Beayer County Republican
Convention reassembled on Saturday
bat and fixed April 13, for a primary
efectioa in that county, for tbe pur
pons of electing delegates to tbe State
Convention, and delegates to tbe dis
trict Convention, to be held in New
Castle, for tbe selection of the dele
gates from this Congressional district
to tbe National Convention No ac
tion was taken in tbe mstter of candi
dates for Congress, for which another
primary will hereafter be held in thai
eonnty.
For Supreme Judge.
Hon. Jobo J. Wickham, President
Judge of tbe Beaver County Courts,
la strongly endorsed by tbe members
of the Bar ot Beaver, and tbe people
of that Coenty very generally, for
the coming Republican nomination
far Supreme Judge.
Judge Wickham is among the
brightest and ablest of tbe Common
Pleas Judges of the State, and if tbe
coming State Convention should take
ene of these as tbe next Republican
candidate it could not make a better
selection than that of Judge Wick
ham. He would be a creditable can
didate and a strong one in this part
of tbe Btate
Death of an Early Friend.
The Pittsburg papers announce the
d— th of John Barton, Esq., which
took place at his residence, Shady
Side near thst city, an last Satur
day, in the 66th year of bis age.
Mr. Barton was a prominent mem
ber of the Pittsburg Bar and by great
industry and attention to his profess
ion acquired not only a good reputa
tion but a comfortable amount of this
world's poods.
We well remember how we made
oar first acquaintance with John Bar
ton. In the summer of 1845, we had
occasion to go to the town of Clarion,
then a new and growing place. Stop
ping at a hotel and when retiring for
the night we were shown to a room
in which we found another man in
oao of ita beds. There was no light in
the room and we were soon hailed with
•a inquiry, "who are you ?" We
told him. Then be told us who he
WM» John Barton, from Pittsburg, and
went on to tell us how and why he
had came to Clarion towit, up the river
OB a boat and for the purpose of being
admitted to the Clarion Bar. From
his story it appeared that an ezami
nine committee of the Pittßbarg Bar
hal refused to certify for his admiss
ion to that Bar, for some unjust or
trivial cause. So. learning there was
Court being held at Clarion, he had
determined t J come up ttnre and ap
ply!* admission, on papers and let
tore that bo had. This be did, the
late Samuel A. Purviance, Esq., of
this place, who was in attendance at
the Cfarion Court at the time,making
the motion for his admission. He was
admitted, and procuring a certificate
of the fact went home to Pittsburg,
Sourisbed it in the face of his enemies,
toodered it to Judges ot the Courts
thore and was, on its strength, finally
a*i>nitvL-d to practice in all the Courts
there. He esteemed it a great tri
umph, aud often in after life when we
mat the eyent at Clarion was referred
to with gioat interest and pleasure.
H: was a self educated man, of very
g»ner«.m dii-p »ition,and the proceed
ing* of the Pittsburg Bar, held in re
npect to fair memory on Monday last,
attest the manner in which be was
heid and esteemed in the profession
by all its members.
—The new well being drilled on
the Smaller farm, below Saxouburg,
is expected' ia oow within a day or
two It is drilled for the the pur-
Cie of testing the Saxonburg field
that direction. The general opin
ion prevail* that the field will soon
be foond to extend in some direction.
New Gas Well.
A new gas well has been struck on
the farm of Mr. John B. Deinitjger
of Butler tp, about two miles south
of Butler. The pressure it at least
100 pounds, ruck pressure. The well
ia on what is known as Mile Bun and
this strike has created a new interest
that territory. Other wells are
already contemplated.
A Western Storm.
MT VERNON, 111, Feb.-20. —The
cyclone that visited thia city yester
day afternoon at 5 o'clock destroyed
nearly 300 residences, places of busi
ness, and unhoused from 1,230 to
1,500 people. 'ln the fall of the walls
many person were buried under the
debris and thirty-fire were killed,
while twice as many more were in
jured, ei. ht or ten so seriously that
their recovery is despaired of.
Mt. Vernon is a beautiful city of
4 000 inhabitants, the county seat of
Jefferson county. It is considered
one of the most thriving and beautiful
of Southern Illinois cities. Its streets
are broad and well lined with shade
trees and its residences are trim and
home like. It is situated on the
Louisville & Nashville road aud is
about 78 miles from St. Loui9. The
surrounding country is rolling. Cy
clones or heavy storms have never
before visited this region and it was
considered safe from any such de
structive element.
Preceding the destructive wind
was a heavy fall of rain for half an
hour, which drove all the inhabitants
to shelter. This was following by a
slight hail storm, accompanied with
lightning, and then the furious blow,
which formed into the funnel-shaped
cyclone, struck the southwestern por
tion of the city, unroofing everything
it its path, taking a diagonal course
through the business portion of the
City, unroofing and dismantling the
Supreme Court buildings, near the
Louisville & Nashville depot, and
skipped along to the Methodist and
Baptist Churches, caving them into
worthless masses. At one point the
destructive element jumped upwards
and missed several stores and resi
dences, but soon pounced down again
and began a career of uu paralleled fe
rocity and destruction, tearing down
heavy brick building, wrencbing and
twisting frame structures out of sem
blance and making a useless mass of
solid banks. The massive court
house that occupies the public square
in the center of the city was literally
torn to pieces, the wall being twisted
and crushed. The tower was lifted
and dropped to the westward and de
molished the handsome pillars .that
supported the entrance. This was
the extreme point to the north that
the storm reached, although the busi
ness block in which is the Mt. Ver
non National Bank and other busi
ness bouses, was somewhat disman
tled by flying bricks and timbers.
Fifty yards south of the courthouse
the storm seemed to be at its height.
On the corner of Washington street
and the public square was Crew's
block.a three-story brick building,Boft.
front, occupied by Evans Bank,a gro
cery and saloon. This building was
thoroughly demolisbod and then tak
ing fire, all inflammable material was
consumed. The owner of the build
ing, R. C. Murray, was caught in the
falliog walls and was cremated. Ed
Hannal, wife and small boy, were in
the basement, having taken refuge
from the storm, and were buried by
the walls, but the man burrowed bis
way out of the ruins, making a pass
age for bis wife and child and then
made an eflort to extinguish the
flames. This fire was intensely hot
and at noon to-day the bricks gave
the beat of a furnace.
Across the street on Washington
street was a row of two-story frame
buildings with an occasional brick.
The brick building* were caved in
and the frames were crushed out of
shape against each other. Near the
corner to the were a lot of groggeries
and frame structures which served as
warehouses and dwellings. The
storm played havoc here and then
turned the place over to the flames,
which consumed the last plank.
These fires and the crushed brick
buildings leave a path which give a
good view of the destruction. Stores,
dwellings,mills and storehouses went
down in the general mass and left the
streets obstructed.
The storm was over in three min
utes and the brave people rushed out
of their safe retreats and unharmed
homes to give assistance to the needy.
The fire company, aided by the citi
zens, who had organized in squads,
began the work of rescue which waa
carried out systematically. Tbe
Mayor filled his place admirably and
in short order bad called for assis
tance from neighboring towns. Fire
engines and physicians were wanted,
and Ctntralia, Ashley, Nashville and
Evansville responded generously and
quickly. The citizens threw open
their houses to the homeless, and
their bed-rooms became hospitals
while the worthy matrons turned ex
pert ounces.
Obituary.
Departed this life in Buffalo Twp,
this county, on January 31st. 1888,
Mrs. Anna Mary Smith, nee Shoup,
sged 45 years 2 months and 11 days
Deceased was born in Oakland Tp ,
Butler county, Nov. 15, 1842, receiv
ed early the holy Sacrament of Bap
tism on the sth of Marcb, 1843 at the
hands of Rev. C. H G. Schweizer
barth, was confirmed in the faith of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church, in
1857, by Rev. F. A. Fetter, and con
tinued true to her profession of faith
in the Lord Jenus up to her end. On
June 22nd, 1865 she was united in
marriage with Charles Smith, and
approved herself a devoted wife, and
faithful mother, two of her children ;
sons, preceded the mother in death,
while three sons and five daughters,
besides her stricken husband, a sinter,
two brothers and many friends mourn
her loss, AS the mother was borne
away the father himself lay semi
unconscious, near the portals of death
from the effects of blood corruption,
occasioned by a wound received in
the army,and the oldest son lay pros
trate with a scrofulous affection.
From the bedside of the sufferers, the
wife and mother, herself much weak
ened in condition,was suddenly called
by sinking cbitla on Sunday evening,
the 29th of Jan., which after two
days resulted in death.
Heavy indeed is the hand of afflict
ion on this stricken household, yet it
is the Lord by whose permission even
sorrow comes, and by whose over
ruling direction all must work togeth
er for good to those who love and
lean upon Him. "Judge not the Lord
by feeble sense, but trust him for bis
grace,' behind a frowning providence
be hides a smiling face," May this
grace sustain the sorely afflicted.
After the customary funeral ser
vices, the remains were interred in
Hanabstown cemetery on Feb 3.1888.
F. W ILHELM, Pastor.
—By the call of a number of our
leading citizens it will be seen that
a public meeting will be held in the
Court House on Tuesday evening
next, for the purpose of taking action
in regard to the applications being
made to our Court for licenses. The
subject is one that demands and
should receive tbwettention of every
good citizen. As the peace and good
order of the town is involved all are
interested.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Charles Cheny, a farmer near Un
ionville, Beaver county,was attacked
by footpads on Friday betiten
into insensibility aud robbed of $93.
He recognized oae of the men as a
tough character of the vicinity.
Fourteen out of sixteen prisoners
in the Mercer county jail hail from
Sharon. Sharon has license.
Constable Griffin of Fr-mklin, last
Saturday arrested the Cbapmau villa
Association of Farmers of Venango
County for the Production of 'Bohem
ian Odts"on a charge prefer
edby J. Y. Liggins. The pjaimiff pur
chased of the defendants 13 bushels
of Bohemian oats, for which he gave
his note fur $l3O, on the condition
that the association would purchase
back from him at 110 a bushel all the
oats he raised. When he tendered
the oats the association refused to re
ceive them, but had discounted the
note at the bank and Mr Ligsrius
had it to pay. This suit is but the
forerunner of many others, aud the
Bohemian oats swindlers are to be
brougbt to justice if possible. For
several years tbev have have flour
ished in Venango county, and tfce
grangers who are too poor to take
the papers have been bled for many
hundred dollars.
The churches at Reynoldsville,
Jefferson county are considerably
torn up just now over the license
question. Some of the most promi
nent members of the different church
es have signed petitions for license,
aud they have accordingly been noti
fied to come forward and answer for
their conduct before the proper tribu
nal. The signers argue that they
merely exercised their right as free
citizens of this Commonwealth, and
that the Church has no authority,
human or divine, to set up an inquis
ition on this subject, as nothing can
be found either in the law Moses or
the teachings of Christ forbidding
men to put their names on license pe
titions. It is likely to cause consid
erable trouble before the uia.ter is fi
nally settled.
When Mr 3. Baer, of Oil City, with
a lamp in her hand, opened her cel
lar door last Monday evening au ex
plosion of gas occurred,
racking the house from cellar to gar
ret and enveloping Mrs. B. in flames.
She was saved from a terrible death,
by the prompt asssistance of neigh
bors. Mr. Isaac Hirshkowitz, his
wife and daughter who
were also severely burn
ed. The explosion was caufed
by the accumulation of natural gas
in the cellar, aud furnishes another
warning to housekeepers.
A few men from Meadville and
Franklin met at Cochranton last
Thursday with the necessary roos
ters on each side tor a chicken fight.
After several birds had been knocked
out or killed, and 'he victory was in
clining toward Meadville's represen
tatives, the whole party was arrest
ed. The names of the persous were
kept quiet for their own sake, or to
show respect to the roosters.
One day last week a good house
wife, whose postoffice address is Carl
ton, Mercer county, wanted some but
termilk but tfad forgotten to send
with her husband, who had gone to
a neighbor's half a mile distant, for
milk. Along about noon tho house
wife on looking out of the window,
noticed her neighbor's cow. Know
ing the cow, and knowing her to be
a gentle animal, the lady quickly
wrote a note, tied it to the cow's
horns and started the animal down
the road home. In about an hour
tbe husband came home with the re
quired buttermilk. He had got the
note. Handy cow to have in a fami
ly—Cochranton Times.
Bedford county has a lawyer-poet,
Judge Baer announced lately that
when he left Somerset he had a copy
of the new rules of court with hiui
but had lost it on tbe way to Bed
ford. Whereupon Attorney Alsip
climbed up into the belfrey, where
the cool breezes could f.n his brow
and wander through his curly locks,
and nailed together the following
lines:
Just DOW we are in a terrible state,
Oh, who can count the cost!
The rules which sjoyern our affairs
Have by Judge Baer been lost.
But sure uo fault it is of his,
lie drove no horses frisky,
But safely came by railroad train
From a town that has no whiskey.
When the offense was called to the
attention of His Honor he endorsed
the paper as follows: "The poet laur
eate can take a drink at the expense
ot the court. It must be Somerset
county aqua vitae."
Harry Snrucebank, of Glen wood, and
his intended bride, Miss Ellen Riley,
ot Clarion, applied for a marriage li
cense in Pittsburg on Tuesday The
young lady was under age, but had
secured the consent of her father, at
tested by Justice of the Peace ot
Clarion, but there was no certificate
by the clerk of Clarion county show
ing that the Justice of the Peace
was commissioned to till that office
and hence the papers were irregular
and the license could not be issued.
The anxious groom telegraphed to
the clerk at Clarion tor the necessary
attestation.
The young people were Catholics
and unless they couid get the license
that afternoon they could not get mar
ried during the seven weeks of Lent.
At four o'clock, however, a messen
ger boy brought the desired tele
gram and the papers requisite were
issued.
The License Question.
Judge Mehard, recently rendered
the following opinion on the granting
of liquor licenses in Mercer county:
The legal question arising under
the present applications have
considered in former opinions deliver
ed by this Court. It has therein j
been held that proof of the necessity i
of a hotel or restaurant as a place of i
public entertainment was ordinarily j
sufficient proof of the necessity con-1
templated by the law for granting a !
license to sell intoxicating drink:-;
but, nevertheless, the law being made
to regulate the sale of such drinks,
and not to regulate public entertain
ment in other respects, that tbey
were not inseparable; and hence that
notwithstanding proof of
the necessity of the pulbic
house, a license to sell intoxicating
drinks might be refused when buffi
cient ground appeared. Alter the
opinion in Reed's Appeal (4 Central
Rep 9U9) was delivered by our Su- i
preme Court, it was considered thatj
a remonstrance sufficient in the sum- j
ber and character of its signers, as i
compared with petitioners, was such
ground; and on the other band, that !
license ongbt to be granted where ,
the necessity should be shown by a .
petition sufficient in uumber and char
acter of the signers as compared with
the remonstrants, unless a special rea
son existed for refusing. This was
the interpretation by onr Supreme
Court of the discretion given to
courts of quarter cessions by the li- J
| cense act of 22 March, 1867; and, al-
I tbonerh it was obiter, it was doubtless
! said for the enlightenment of lower
| courts. We do not understand that
j a bare preponderance one way or the
! other Bh»U in all cases determine the
; action of the courts to the exclusion
;of other considerations, but we do
' understand that the weight of the
' remonstrance, if great enoush, should
! lead to a refusal of the license, even
! though the house be a necessary pub
(lie house aud the license, aside from
I the remonstrauce, would appear to be
necessary.
The act of 13 May, 1887 (P. L
108) embodies the identical words of
I the act of 22 March, 18G7, as to the
! discretion iu this matier to be ex
i ercised by courts in regard to licen
ces. It needs no discussion, then, to
show that the discretion thereio
conferred is same as that given
under the former act.
Obituary.
Died in St. Loui-, Missouri, Jan
27, 1888. at the boaie of his daugh
ter, Mrs. French, Mr Malachi Rich
ardson, formerly of this place, aged
80 years, lacking one day.
There are now perhaps but few of
our citizens who remember Malachi
Richardson. He came to Butler
when a young man and engaged iu
the fulling business, having his Grst
fulling mill on what is now knowu
as East Jefferson street. .Afterwards
he carried on trie same business where
the mill of Walter and Boos now
stands, and subsequently at what is
known as the llaUion mill, on Little
Connoquenessiug, this side of Mouut
Chestnut. From here he and family
removed, about the year 1839, to Cin
cinnati, and then to Hamilton, Ohio,
where he buried his first wife, who
was Miss Sarah A. Patterson, and
whom he married here in 1823. Soon
aft; r this, 1847, he bought a farm near
Elvaston,lllinois, aud removed to that
state. He buried there a second wife,
18(52. He lived there until age and
infirmity made it necessary to go and
live with the daughter in St. Louis
where he died. Tbree of his sous
were in the late war for the Union and
one of them, Loyal Coulter Richard
son, died in the serviee. While liv
ing in Butler, Mr.. Richardson was
an active member of the Presbyter
ian church here and an Elder in the
same until he left and is spoken of by
all who remember bim as ac upright,
good man and useful citizen. He ■
was an uncle of the writer of this l
and on his first wife's side has a num- I
ber of relatives living hira
and has children livirg, scattered :
through the West, and a large num- j
ber of grand children.
I For some of the above facts we
are indebted to the Carthage, Illnois,
Gazette, of Feb. 1 Oih.
Suicide of Robert J. Patton.
Mr. Robert .T. Patton, an old and

iu£ to a beam of the roof by a win
dow cord. She cut him dowu, % aud
called help, but life was extinct.
His death recalls some singular
facts in bis life.
Twelve years ago his hou?e in
Fair view was blown up by an explo
sion of natural bis cellar, which
entirely destroyed the bouse,aad kill
ed his wife; himself aDd only child,the
daughter, escapiutf without serious
injuries. He sued the Gas Corapany

tbeu with his daughter took a trip to
Jerusalem, »nd afterwards wrote an
aceouut of their trip which was pub
lished in book form. He also visited
Ireland a year or two ago. He mar
ried again two years ago, and his
second wife and daughter by his first
survive him.
Mr Patton was known to be a very
sociable man. He was on the Jury
last week aud it was noticed that he
was not as sociable as usual,but noth
ing serious was expected He was
in his 58tb year, having been born in
1830.

A. Webster contributes to tbe
American Machinist the following
iuterestiug statistics:
"In May, 1857, I was the only
machinist regularly aud steadily em
ployed, as such, in the watch- and
watchcase industry in the United
States. In 31 years there has grown
up au industry which em plots over
700 machinists to make and keep in

chines aud tools.
"Iu May, 1857, there were 50 oper

The Way They Will Do It.
Tbe J awrence county Republicans

who shall be voted for separately,and
the two delegates receiviog the high
est number of votes in district
shall be the delegates to the respect
ive district convention*; hut the same '
person uot be eligible to serve
aa a delegate in both conventions.
Ibat estimable lady who was laid j
