Mr Ileineman called tbe meeting to order, and called upon Jacob Ziegler, E><q., to read the ad dress, aod Mr. Ziegler did so, proba bly as well as auy person could, but Washington's address was and is a very loug one, it is intended for quiet and cart ul reading, and though it is one of the grandest thiugs in the English language, when read hastily to a large audience, tbe reading of it is rather a bore to the audience After the reading the general meet ing adj >urned,* and the Monument Committees met iu tbe Arbitration room, and the soldiers met in the Court room to consider the Bounty question, reports of which meetings will be fouad iu another place.

Many repeat cases of serious illness have been reported from the use of tbe new patent foods for in fants, from untestwi baking powders, and cheap flavoring extracts. The desire for rapid wealth induces un scrupulous manufacturers to place anything before the public that will sell at a profit, without regard to its usefulness or healthfulness. At present there is a great raid upon the baking powder mark«t, and 90 many impure and adulterated articles of this kind have been found peddled about the country that the authori ties in several of the States have taken the necessary action to expose them The report of the Ohio State Pood Commission has shown that a large number of the brands sold here are made from alum, or a cheap and adulterated cream of tartar. The danger to the public is made still greater by tbe unblushing effrontery with which the proprietors of ihese impure powders advertise them as perfect, claiming for them all kinds of false and impossible endorsements. The official report of tbe Ohio State Food Commission gives the names of a number of these impure powders acd the amount of impurities and in ert matters in each as follows : NAME. PER CENT, OF IMPURITIES, ETC. Dr. Price's 12 'l6 Sterling 1,2 0.5 Pearson's 14.39 Scioto (alum) 18.25 Forest City (alum) 21 04 Cr;>wn (aluiu) 25.119 Silver Star (alum) 31.58 Da Land'* 32.52 Horsloni's (phosphate) 36.41) Kenton t'alum) 38 17 Pat.tpnco (alum) 40 OS One Spoon (alum) 68 t>B Tbe impurities in the powders above mentioned were found to con sist of variou* matters more or less hurtful. In l)r Price's powder the ] principal impurities were lime and j Rochelle salts, which were found in quantities The impurities it; Hereford's powder were composed phosphate ot'Soda, lime, etc., but none | of the "nutritious phosphates," with out which its manufacturers claim life cannot be sustained. The impurities found iu the other powders named were principally aium aud lime. From the report of the Commission it. is evident that the Royal Baking Powder is ot the highest degree of strength ami parity. Thiel College's New President. GREENVILLE, PA., Feb. 19. Rev. E S. Lund, pastor of the English Lutheran Church, of Greeusburg.Pa., has been elected President of Thiel College, and will eater upon his new duties shortly. Mr Lund is a com paratively young man, an alumnus of Thiel, class of '77, possesses great ex ! ectitive ability and is a student of | high culture, speaking five languages ; fluently. He is one of the most promi nent members ottbe Pittsburg Synod, and has just recently returned from a tiip to Enrope. He takes the place of Rev. H. W. Roth, resigned. General Notes. As a cattle train on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western road was goiDg down a i'O foot grade near Stroudsburg. feceotly, the engine was unable to hold it, and it acquired a speed estimated at 70 miles per hour.

The engineer escaped, but the fireman was badly hurt. Williard Fillmore Brown aged 1 month. is t!.e most couspicious per son at Lynn at the present time lie weighs one pound and seven ounces, and is called the smallest specimen of humanity ou earth Physicians ;-.iid he ceuid not live, but he has defied them ami is doing more than his share in the support of tie family The parents being in poor circum stances c bani; is placed on a shelf, and visitors make deposits suited t«» their own inclination; they range irom a penny to twenty-five cents, and us his callers average from fifty to one hundred each day the receipts are handsome He held a reception recently, having sent this invitation: "PVso turn to my 'eeptiou 'tvmse I 'se r e 'iuiiist baby in 'e world." Over 1,000 attended He is perfectly good nmured un 3 receives with great urbanity at any hour of the day. The social season that is almost at au end in New York has put a good mat.y dollars io the capacious pockets of the Rev. John Hall. It is said that Dr. John Hall's income from marriage fees since last September is not less than $30,000. One bride groom gave him a check for $5,000 for tying the nuptial knot. Dr. Hall is worth $1,000,000; his total income is at least $100,"000. His congrega tion is the wealthiest in New York. The amount of $400,000,000 may be see in his church any Sunday morn iug. Dr Hall has a monopoly of oil the swell weddiugs. Brides who de sire to be in fashion insist upon being married by tbe millionaire clergyman Edward Everett Hale has resurrect ed a bit of history in the King of England's account book, iu which he put dowu what he paid Jacob Cabot for finding America. It reads after this manner: To the damsel that danceth jCI2 To the nmn that found a new island 10 To Jake Haute, lor teunis play 9 To a wcuian with a red nose 2 shillings. That was the first cost to England for North Ameiica, less than was paid to the girl that danced for the King. A question has arisen iu insurance circles which, to say the least, is one of the most novel that has yet come to notice in underwriting experience A New Yorker who carried $300,000 insurance on his life voluntarily died in order that his creditors might reap the benefit of the policies. The issue is now on trial, aud that is the gene al claim by insurance men interested. If true the cuse suggests oue of tbe romances of Jules Yerne, bu r . it is rather hard to accuse a ra ta of con spiracy under the circumstances. Yery few men will carry the princi ple of self-sacrifice so far as to die in order to benefit their creditors. Soldiers' Meeting. Pursuant to ootics, a meeting of the Soldiers of Butler county, Penn sylvania, wa- held in the arbitration room of the C turt H ius* on Feb. 221 1888. Oa motion, Robert J. Thompson we- elected chairman ami Capt Ay res, Sec. R P. Scott, sta ted the object of the meeting. After a full and tree expression of opini >«s on the part of the old Yeterans a mo tion was passed endorsing . the Per Diem Rated Service Pension Bill and a petition to CoDgress of which the following is a copy was signed by the soldiery present and directed to be forwarded to our senators and members of Congress. "To the Ilouorable Senators and Representatives iu Congress assem bled:" Wethe undersigned surviving sol diers and sailors, of the Uuiou Army Bud Navy, heartily endorse the Per Diem Riu-d Service Pension bill bus ed on the priucipie of paying all sol diers, sailoi3 and marines a monthly pension of one cent a day for each day they were in the service during the War of the Rebellion, and we urge upon Congress its immediate passage." Meeting of the Monument Com mittee. At the meeting of the delegates of the Butler County Monument Asso ciation a motion to appoint five men as a sub-finance committee in each borough and township, and to have them report in 30 days from their ap pointment, the amounts they could raise, was passed. It was agreed tho monument should be located on the Public Square opposite the court bouse in Butler and that the cost should be from SSOOO to $15,000. It was the desire of the meeting that sub committees be instructed to make out and keep a correct list of all But ler county soldiers—their name, com pany aud regiment for the use of the Record committee, this to include both living dead and goldiers. The meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the President of the committee. The meeting was addressed by Col Johu M Suilivau in favor of a wor thy monument being erected.

On every baud we see evi dences of what has taken place witb iu a few years and where it will stop no one knows. The capacity of the Pittsburg manufactories has beeu in creased from 25 to 100 per cent, and the increase bis beeu general To triye anything iike a detailed account of Pittsburg's new industries is al most impossible. Tbe irou and ateel smelting busi ness which is the leading one of "The Natural Gas City" has had a wonder fui boom. They are now abie to turn out 350.000 tons a year more than th ; *y were able to iu 18S5 Iu the other departments of the iron busi ness the increase has beeu immense— from 35 to 100 per cent. A noteworthy feature in tbe indus tries of Pittsburg was tie casting of a steel gun a few weeks ago under Lite immediate supervision of, and iu accordance with the plans and de signs made by Win. II iins worth, Su periuteudent of tbe Pittsburg Steel Gastiug Company. The gun, whicb is now in the lathe, will, when com pleted, weigh 5i tous, and will be 193 53 inches in length. Tbe gun in made for the Government, which de mands the following: ultimate streDgtb, 8,000 pounds per square inch; elastic limit, 4,000 pjiiuds per square iucb; elongation 7 per ceut, i:i two inches: reduction 7 per cent iu 2 inches. Steel made under .Mr Hains worth's direction meets these require ments. The gun will, iu ail proba bility, mark a uew era in the manu facture of guns of all sizes designed for naval warfare and fortifications. The manufacture of Plate Ulas* has been beoefited most of all and the increase in three years has beeu sev en fold. The Plate Glass works here make twice as much glass as was made three years ago in all this neighborhood. The glass made here by natural gas is in every way the equal of th 3 finest French Plate. Pittsburg's increase in population is another indication of her boom. The surrouuding counties seem to be iryiug to outstrip each other in new establish meats, aud iu addition to the old ones. To enumerate all the new concerns etarted, and the im provements made during three years in this neighborhood would require all the reading *paee of the CITIZEN The improvement has been wonderful everywhere. Leechburg, Armstrong county, claims to have first used nat ural gas for manufacturing. Its boom certainly not decreased any, for $550,000 has been lately invested in three works there—the Leechburg Foundry, the Lauffman & Go Steel Works, and the Electro Plating Works, at Apollo which together will employ 800 men. Freeport has not boomed much aud Kiitanning not at uii. Natural gas uas done wonders for Beaver county us $1,100,000 has been invested iu about 25 concerns which give empioymeut to over 2000 men. The steel works of 11. W. Hartman is the principal one. It has a of $400,000 and employs 1000 men Cambria county has bjen very lucky. Tbe Johustown Steel Riil Company was established there two years ago It employs 2000 men aud has a cupital ot $1,000,000. Clarion county has hid a general improvement and negotiations are now pending between the cit'zeus of East Brady and a uianufactur inir establishment,which are expected to terminate satisfactorily. Fayette county has been boomed by natural gas. Several large concerns, includ ing two of $500,000 each, have been established there. The Lawrence county boom has been chiefly at, New Castle.lnvestmonts aggregating nearly a million dollars indicate the coming city's energy. Mercer county shows a steady increase. The water works at Sharon, the woolen mills at Green ville and the college building at Grove City now being erected are the coun ty's record. In Venango county, Oil City is putting on eity airs and is having a steady increase. The chief addition is the Tube Works with a capital of $200,000. Many smaller concerns help the boom Oxide works at Franklin are contemplated. The capital stock is put at §500,000. It is doubtful if the natural gas boom has helped any town more than But ler. With her doubled population, her half a million plant for manufac turing Plate Glass, with her bottle glass works,her planing mills, pottery works, her oil, coal aud lime, she bids fair to become the banner boom town. —The best fre«h and canned Cali fornia fruits for the Holidays, at Morrison's City Bakery. —Go to Morrison's City Bakery for fresh Oysters and Oyster Stews. —A.

Feb. 20, 1888 One of the largest firms of iron manufac turers iu this city failed today for from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 They made aa assignment this after noon. Some three years ago they failed for $1,200,000, but got au exten sion. and their business has been so good that they have been able to clear off SBOO,OOO of the debt, which is se cured by a blanket mortgage to a New York life iusurance company. The present failure is caused bv a foolish desire to build uew works, which took all the profits of the firm. The failure is a bad one. Tbe secur ed liabilities are about $600,000 to $700,000. The assets are supposed to amount to SBOO,OOO, but really to a less sum, as much valuable proper ty has been sold to pay off the old debt. A mortgage for SIOO,OOO fig ures among the liabilities. It was made since the first failure. The firm is that of Graff, Beunett & Company. —Use Double All 0. K Horse and Cattle Powders,best in the world.
