SAM MILLEB, as he is familiarly called, of Mercer, was the temporary Chairman of the Republican State Contention. JOHN COYLE, ESQ., one of the oldest, moat affable and respected members of the Pittsburg bar, died at his residence in that city on MOD day last, in the 69th year of his age. THE name of Judge Mitchell, of Philadelphia, who was nominated for Supreme Jndge at the Harrisburg Convention, appears at the head of oar editorial column this week. HON. JOHN W. WALLACE, ot New Castle, Lawrence county, has been named by the State Convention as tbe Presidential Elector for this Con gressional district THE Mercer County Republican Convention will not be held until Tuesday, May 29—tbe primaries on the previous Saturday, May 26—at which time the 15 Congressional del egates from that county, and tbe 15 sob-National Delegates to the New Castle conventions, will be choseu. THE Delegates at Large from this Btate to the Chicago National Con vention, as settled at the Harrisbnrg State Convention, are Senator Quay of Beaver, Gen'l D H. Hastings of Centre county, Hon. William R. Leeds, of Phila., and Mr. Henry W. Oliver, of Pittsburgh. "BRAINS TS Greed," is tbe way in which the Pittsburgh Press puts the closing of tbe contest at Harrisbnrg on tbe Chairmanship of the State Committee. Cooper gets holding the place through the coming campaign, for the money that is in it, and then it passes into tbe hands of Andrews Cameron wanted Cooper continued bot Quay said no—and Quay won. THE Pittsburg Com Gazette of Thursday week says editorially: "In tbe License Court yesterday a glass manufacturer of Natrona stated that of u ,000 paid by bim every we«k to his employes, 30 per cent was spent in the saloons on Saturday and Sunday, and tbe men thereby unfitted for work on Monday. This la a very brief, but a very powerful, temperance •srmon." —Services were held by tbe Eng lish Lutheran Church of this place in Sbaffner Hall, Springdale, last Sunday, at 2:30 o'clock, cooducted by the pastor, Rev. D. L. Roth This was tbe first service and first sermon in this new place of worship, which is auxiliary to tbe main church of this place. Tbe Hall was fairly fill ed aad the people of Springdale evin ced quite an interest in the meeting. Services will be held there by Rey. Roth on every Sunday hereafter at 8:30 p. M. until further notice. THE Resolutions of tbe Republi can State Convention will appear in full in our next issue. They are of tbe right stamp throughout. Tbe one on the temperance question is clear and explicit, and reads as fol lows: "Eighth—We recognize tbe strength of sentiment in ibis Com monwealth relative to tbe evils and abuses of tbe sale of liquor, and we favor all laws looking in this respect to tbe elevation of the moral condition of tbe people We therefore repeat our pledge to submit the qaeotiou of prohibition to a vote of the people. as we close tbe forms be fore going to press this (Thursday) morning, we learn that our venerable townsman, Matbias C. Sedwick, is dead. With but one exception, Mr. Sedwick was tbe oldest resident of East Brady, he having resided bore continuously since 1855. Qe was 85 jfars oi age. During the past few years of his life he had been in feeble bealtb, but went about as usual un til a few days ago wben be grew quite ill. The ailment was of a na ture that speedily exhausted tbe vital forces of one already enfeebled by the infirmities of age, and at 11:30 this morning be expired. The tuueral will take place at 1 o'clock tomorrow.— Eaat Bradj Review, April 20, 'BB. Boulanger. The man giving the most trouble to France at present bears tbe above same. General Boulanger- The Gov ernment of France is really as Re publican iu form as that of England add the FrencL people have for a long time hid the sympathy of the people vt tbe United States. But if General Boulanger wants to improve tbe French Government atill more and Bake kto coulorm to that of ours, we all here are ready to vote for him. He gives ont bid object or princi ples hk follows: "I will never allow myself to be , drawn iu any group and I even may not go regularly to tbe Chamber of Deputies. 1 shall be firm, calm aud j patient. I may not represent tbe ua-, tioa yet, but I live iu hopes of doing' •o. My policy in essentially practical and constructive, to makhv b-' a.-kii't? themselves if I am a charlatan. Tell tbeia lam not." THE STATE CONVENTION. State Committee Chairmanship Settled. The Republican Stste Convention that assembled at Harriaburg on Wednesday last was one of the most exciting and important for jeers. A fight bad been made for g ;me lime past against the continuance of Thomas V. Coop«r as Chairman of the State Convection. Mr. William H. Andrews, of Crawford County, was made a candidate against Cooper and the contest became an active and bitter one. It had to be settled, as a preliminary, disturbing element, be fore the meeting of the Convention. This was done at a general caucns held on Tuesday eveniog, at which the fine band and clever policy of Senator Quay was seen in the fol lowing, which passed almost unan imously: •'Resolved, That hereafter the terms of members of the State Committee shall commence on the Ist day of January succeeding thdir selection, and continue for one year: that Wil liam H. Andrews shall be and is hereby elected Chairman of the State Committee to be appointed by this convention, and that Thomas- Y. Cooper, the present Chairman, bis Secretaries and the members of the State Committee be continued in office until the Ist day of January next." Her Terrible Temper. LONDON, 0„ April 23. Forty years ago Peter Slaughter was a ria farmer in Stokes township. He in vested all his money in land and soon became the richest mau in Madison county. While his two children were yet in their teens Slaughter's first wife died. After a time he mar ried Anna Lynch, the daughter of one of his tenants, a well-educated, handsome girl with a terrible temper. It was not long before there was trou ble in the Slaughter houße. The two children were the objects of special indignities from tbe stepmother, and the birth of two more little ones did not mend matters Finally tbe chil dren of the first wife left home. Old Peter became morose at this turn in affairs and not long after died When the will was opened it was found that Slaughter had devised everything equally to the four chil dren. Tbe wife was furious, but it availed nothing, except that tbe Com missioners prevailed on each child to deed 150 acres to the widow, and sbe thus came into possession of prop erty worth $75,000. Mrs. Slaughter at once begau a serie9 of social enter tainments that eclipsed anything ev er known in that section. So matters went on until Henrietta, her oldest child, was 18 and desperately iu love with a contractor named Sexton. They were married and the bride was promptly forbidden the home of her motber. Her brother went with ber. Then tbe widow shut up her big bouse, and lived the life of a recluse for several years until a death in her daughter's family brought about rec onciliation. Mrs. Sexton and ber husband consented, at Mrs. Slaught er's request, to live with ber, This was last falF. Peace lasted but a short time, how ever, aad tbe widow suddenly disap peared six weeks ago. Sbe came back as unexpectedly one day last week in a most amiable mood, which lasted two or threo days, when there was another outbreak. Mrs. Slaughter, who is a very large woman, in ber fury knocked ber daughter down and tore a great hand ful of hair from the head of a grand daughter. She was given a liberal sum of money and told to go. Mon day she turned up at the County In firmary and is now an inmate of that institution, where she says she will end her days. From diamonds, silks, fortune and favor sbe has decended to tbe poor-bouse, and all on account ot an uncontrollable temper. The Last Bond Call. Secretary Fairchild has begun his bond calls again. If anyone is nerv ous over a money pinch this precau tion ought to quiet them, although as • simple matter of fact while bond calls may ease a panic they do noth ing to prevent a money pinch. Peo pie with "Governments" can take care of themselves in a pinch; it is only in a panic that securities become valuftleess. Tbe Treasury Is said to place tbo surplus now at $105,000,000. It is bard to see how. It is of more con sequence that the Treasury balance was larger than it wan July 31, 1887, when tbe last serious surplus scare began, $54,408,683 lar ger than a year ago and $72,441,131 than two years ago. Them* differen ces measure all the real increase there is in tbe surplus from a time wben no one was lying awake nights about it. But. and it is a very large but, the the Treasury has, or had March 31, $61,231,647 In its depository banks This is practically in the channels of trade and should stay there, unless the Treasury can buy bonds at a pro fit. These deposits are $47,394,516 larger than two years ago, $41,311, 93# larger than one year ago and $37, 738,380.1arger than July 31 last. The real withdrawal the Treasury has made, since its deposits are in the money market, is onlv $,933,200 since laHt Summer. $13,096,753 in a year and $25,046,715 in two yeurs. This is not much—uot enough for a "scare," a "" or any other nonsense in tbe present condition of the money market. Still, it is a good thing Sec retary Fairchild should buy bonds, but we doubt if many will be offered to the Treasury But in tbie matter it is not tbe bonds which are bought but the bonds that can be bought which fends off surplus scares—Phila. Presn. New Postal Arrrangement with Canada. By the new postal arrangement be tween tbe United States and Canada, which went into effect on March 1, 1888, articles will be allowed to go into either country, if admitted by I tbo domestic law of either, except ! sealed packages (which are other than I letters) and publications which vio | late the copyright laws of tbe coun try of destination, liquids, etc. All articles exchuuged this arrangement are required to bo fully prepaid with postage stamps, at the rate of postage applicable to similar articles in the domestic mails of tbe country of origin, and are required to be delivered free to addrebees iu the country of destination. Articles other than letters, in their usual and ordinary form, on their ar rival at the exchange post office of tbe destination, will be inspected by customs officers of that country, who will levy tbe proper customs duties upon any articles found to be dutia ble under the laws of that country. COMMUNICATIONS. United Presbyterian Presbytery. The United Presbyterian Presby tery of Butler met in West U nitv church. Marion township, on Tues day, April 17. Calls were presented from the eon (rations of of White Oaks Spring and Mt. Chestnut for the services of Rev. J. B Borland, of Steubenville Pres bytery; also from Centreville and Be thel for the game minister. A call was presented from Freeport congre gation for Rev. A. F. Kirkpatrick, of Stamford Presbytery. Calls were preseated from East Unity and Clin tonville congregations for A. B. Dick ie, a licentiate under the care of Con mangh Presbytery. Mr. W, A. Monks delivered his trials for licensure which were appro ved. Having passed the usual exam ination he was licensed to preach the Gospel. The General Assembly was mem orialized to adopt the following reso lution: "Resolved, That Presbyteries be directed to refuse licensure to stud ents of theology who are addicted to the use of tobacco in any form, and that a copy of this rale be put into the hands of ail persons applying for admission as students of theology. The Committee on Temperance presented the followiug resolutions which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, 1. That we reaffirm our allegiance to the cause of Temperance Reform, and pledge ouraelve* to act ive co-operation in every department of temperance work. 2. That we recognize with grati itude the continued growth of tem perance sentiment; the decided ad vance in prohibitory legislation, and the favorable decisions of the higher Courts. 3. That, in view of the fact that our government, in receiving a reve nue tax from every gallon of liquor made, becomes a partner in the traffic, we desire to place ourselves ou record as in favor of the repeal of the inter nal revenue tax on liquor. 4. That we deplore and condemn the recent action of Butler County Court iu the repetition of the decision of the previous year granting the ap plications for license to sell intoxicat ing drinks; and that in face of the provisions of the new law which in its better features was designed to voice the advanced temperance senti ment of the State. In condemning this action, we declare that we make no unreasonable demands; we have no intent to disregard law (the charge of lawlessness comes with bad grace from the advocates of a lawless liquor traffic ) We make no charge of dis honesty, but we do protest against the fact that no appreciable weight was given to the legally expressed temperance sentiment of tbe different sections of the county, and we do la ment the fact that the Court has seen fit to put such a narrow interpreta tion upon the law, aud has dragged out of the darkless ot past ages the superannuated, musty idea of a hotel license, to do service in this age of advanced prohibition sentiment. In view of the fact tbat such narrow in terpretations are possible and tbat Courts will be found to grant license DO long as there is a shadow tf a pre text for so doing, we demand at tbe haad of onr legislators the enactment, at once, of a statutory law prohibit ing the manufacture, sale aud impor tation ot intoxicating liquors, and and the immediate submission of a Constitutional Ameudment on tbe same subject to a vote of the people. 5. That we commend and endorse most heartily tbe action of Judge Neale in refusing all applications for liquor license in Armstrong Co., aud to the county we extend most cordial congratulations. 6. That it is with shauie and sor row that we have read the names of two or three members of tbe United Presbyterian church on tbe list of bondsmen aDd certifiers to license ap plications. We call the attention of such persons to tbe repeated and em pbatic deliverances of our General Assembly and especially to mob ut terance as the following: (Tbe Com mittee here quotes from tbo minutes of the General Assembly of '7.J, '77, '7B and 'Bl ) Id view of these deliv erances of our highest Court, and be lieving that the time has gone by when a member in good standing in our church can become a bondsman or certifier on au application for licence to sell intoxicating liquor, wa hereby enjoin tbe sessions under our care to admonish these persons, and upon a repetition of tbe offense en force tbe discipline of tbe church.

Coulter, was read in part, and the Presbytery, after disposing of other routine busi ness, adjourned to meet in North Washington, on the second Tuesday in June next. Calls were presented by Centre ville, New Hope aud Pleasant Valley churches for Rev. Porter, but these were retained till June meeting as Mr. Porter is not yet member of this Presbytery. Witchcraft in Indiana County. INDIANA, PA., April 19. —Lincoln Wadding hud a hearing before 'Squire Martin * here on a charge of practicing witchcraft on Reuben and Jane Black, of Dixon ville, who are brother and sister. Mr. Black has been unwell, and somt one told him & wtich was the cause. Learning of this. Wedding about a month ago told the old couple he was a witch doctor and offered to chase the witch away for S3OO. As the couple bad not the money he offered to accept a cow and calf, and the cou ple, after some coaxing, con sented. Then Wadding performed a lot of antics and pronounced some in cantations, took away the cattle and promised to return and complete the cure. As he did not return they became suspicious, went in pursuit and had him arrested. At the hearing he ad mitted the facts and said he had done the best be could for tbem. The old couple consented to withdraw the suit if Wadding wonld would return the stock and pay the costs, and he gladly accepted the offer. Rev. Walter A.
