The Prohibition Convention. The morning trains to Butler last ' Saturday brousht in quite a number of dt-Irirales to ibe Prohibition Con vention, which met at 11 o'clock in ifce V M. C A. rooms in the Reiber buibling. The meeting wad called to order by County Chairman, J. W. Orr. Rev. Nesbit of Butler was ♦deeted Temporary Chairman, and Will Harlej, Secretary. Chairman Orr thin stated the ob jects of the Convention wh'ch were the appointing of a County Commit tee, nomination of a county ticket, raiding funds, etc. He read a writ ten .speech, in which he warned Pro hibitionists to beware of Democrats and it- publicans, challenged anyone to point bim out the Uitlerence be tween the Democratic and Republican platforms and wound tip with an elo quent peroration. Dr. Nesbit asked for the pleasure of the Convention, and Rev. McKee moved for a Committee of Three ou Credentials, which carried, and Geo. Ro?ebaugh, Dr Davis and Levi Por ter, were appointed by the Chair. W\ P. Braham, moved for a Com mittee of Five on Platform, which carried, and the Chair appointed Rev. J. S. McKee, Dr A. M. Patterson, HOD. W. P Brahain. Rev. D Decker aud Jacob Dutchman, but Dr. Patter son was not present, and it was stated th'U Jacob Dutchman would not likely be present, as his father was lying very low, so J C. Kerr and J. C. Moore were substituted on the Committee for them. Christy Moore moved that where there was no meeting in a township to select, delegates, volunteers should be accepted, and stated that there wore but two Prohibitionists in Centre township and that the other man was not present. This motion carried. The list of districts was ibeu called nr.d about G.'ty delegates answered to the ; r names, and Rev McKee re quested the delegates to give him a iu!l li: tof all the Prohibitionists in each district, for the Secretary of the State Committee. Mr. Daubenspeck said he could uarne seventy ic Parker Twp, and would claim the Banner Mr. Davis moved for a Committee of Five ou Permanent Organization aud Dr. A. V Cuunicgbam, T. B White, Dr. Davis, and S. C. Bell were appointed. Levi Porter moved for a Commit tee of five on Nominations and J. (J. Marshall, A. C. Wil:-on, J. M. Beat ty, C. J. D. Strole.cker aid H S. Paubeaspeck were appointed. It was then near noon and a mo tion to adjou-n till 1 o'clock carried, and the Convention adjourned by aingiLg tLe long metre doxology, with benediction by Rev. Steffy. Half a hundred men singiug a dox ology at the close of a session of a political meeting was an unusual spectacle and seemed to us an evi dence of their altruism aud reliance in Providence. The afternoon session was opened with prayer by Mr. Orr. The Committee on Permanent Or ganization then reported, and nomin ated W. T. McCoy for Permanent Chairman, A. C.Wilson for Vice Chairman, J. S McKee for Secre tary, and J. W. Orr for Treasurer; but Mr. McCoy could not accept on account of ill health, and towards the close of the session Mr. L C Wick was elected Permanent Chair man or Chairman of the County Committee. Mr. Orr wished to be excused as Treasurer, aud thought a new man and ' better beggar" should be selected, and named Dr. but the Convention thought Mr Orr should continqe. The usual misunderstanding oc curred on Permanent Uhairuian and Temporary Chairman, but it was fi nally decided that Rev. Nesbit should continue in the Chair during the ses sion. Rev Xesbit thanked the Conven tion and made quite a little speech. He feels eure of haif a million Pro hibition votes this year, and of vic tory in "J2. Mr. Orr said their party was the "great party of princ'ple," and that the Democratic and liepublican plat forms differed in .nodes alone, while the Indianapolis platform represent ed the great principles of the day. He also made a plea for money aud said the treasury was now $53 short. The Committee on Nominations then reported, aud suggested the fol lowing names: For Congress, W. P. Braham, and I)r. Benjamin Pear sou and Dr. A V. Cunningham State Senate, J.W.Qrr and Ii C.Wick. For Assembly—J. C. Kerr, B. L Davis, W. M. Bogan and Shryock , Harper. For Jury Commissioners —Wash- ington Bovard and J B. White. A motion was intttle and carried to consider the nominations, for each office separately, and also to vote by ballot, and Messrs. Wilson and Orr were appointed tellers, A vote was then taken for Congress. Dr. Cnn ningham withdrew, Mr. Braham had 1 1 votes and llr. Pearson 20. Dr. Pear son was declared the nominee of the Convention. His home ia in Centre ville. For Sena*;—J. W. Orr had 21 votes and L, C. Wiek 11 —and Orr !of Bruin was declared the nominee For Assembly—B L.

Kerr of Slippryrock and Moore of Centre were declared the nominees. For Jury Commissioner—Mr. White withdrew, but the Convention insisted upon yqtiog fey hiw, and Mr. .1.0. liawk was nominated in the Convention. Bovard had 22 vot s, White 15 and Hawk ?»—and Mr. Bovard of Cherry was declared the nominee of the Convention. Mr llovard is one. of the best men in the county, an elder in the U. I*. church and an old time Democrat; and as the Democratic nominee fur that office is said to bo a very illiterate man. he stands a good chance of being olevit ctl- The Committee on Resolutions then reported as follows : Tilt'.

Steffey, of Prospect, and he closed the Convention as it was opened—with prayer. "Tippecanoe and Tariff Too." The ratification accorded to Harri son and Morton, Tuesday evening was the most enthusiastic ever given by the ci'izons of Butler to the nomi nees of any party, and indicates the success of tiie Republican party at the polls in November. The program was arranged and car ried out by the Young Metis Repub lican Club ol tho town. One band went over to Spriogdale and load tho delegation i»om that part of the to wn to the crossing of Main and .Jefferson streets, where they \yere joined b.y the Clqb Leaded by the other band, all carrying lj tgs and banners, and the.n paraded the streets, At least four hundred men were iu line, and when the crowd assembled oa the Diamond, it was the largest we have ever seen there, probably numbering three thousand.

He was followed by Ntwtou Black Esq, who spoke for the soldier ele ment of the party, and predicted the election of Harrison, and said that on next Memorial day, Harrison would not be foimd irj the Adiron dack*. as wan Clevelaud on last Mem orial Day. J. I). McJuokin Esq , spoke of the mission of the Republican party, thought it had not yet been fulfilled, advised Plus Ultra, Onward, Prog ress, More Beyond—for a motto, and thought a red cotton bandana was a good enough banner for Southern Democrats, but said that Republicans preferred the and Stripes.

"When i' ked what stale he hail* from Our sole reply shall be Hoouierdcw 14 Kis statu (rnd ho marohndj With Sherman to the Sea." Fleeger made quite a lengthy po politieal speech on the tariff and other questions, and gave the personel of of the present Ways and Means Com mittee of the House' the majority of whom are Southern democrats, as showing the origin of the Mills Bill and the animus of the tariff legisla tion of the present House.

Michael Shaller or Showlder, who was confined ia the jail of Allegheny i Co., with murdering Bridget Mullen, committed suicide by banging ■ la-t Friday uigLt. The maTricge which was to have taken place at Freoport last Thursday j between Frank Foirest, charged with abortion, and Miss Alice Holibaugh, 1 .he victim, failed to materialize Everything was made ready, but just i as the ceremony was about to be per j formed, the physician who attends j *be pirl stepped forward aud refused Ito allow it to proceed, claiming the girl was too we: k to stand the exeite ; ment as yet.

White, a quack doctor, of Indi ana, committed euiciae in jail at that | place last Friday night, after having i oeeu convicted of the crime of produc | ing an abortion, which proved fatal. Dr. White was a blacksmith by trade, ! and of late years had been practising medicine iu various places.

Wolf entered a store- | room and left the little one sitting in its buggy on pavement. A gust of wind started the buggy toward the gutter, into which it upset, throwing the child under a horse which, be coming frightened, commenced kick ing aud crushed the little one to death. In the Mercer Co. court, last week, M. II Moore was sentenced to pay a fine of SSOO, and be imprisoned for 3 mos. Moore too<£ orders for whis ky in the southeastern part of tbe county and sent them to the distill ery at McKeesport. The wet goods were sent to Grove City in due time anl Mr. Moore then collected tbe money, two dollars and lilty cents a gallon. The jury brouht in a verdict ol guilty. John Hancy, an engineer from Freepjrt, made an attempt to cqt his throat last Saturday, at the ji'orty third street bridge, Pittsburg but, for lack of courage, failed. He used a rag ged-edged case knife in the attempt, and gave it one slash across the throat,pai tially severing the windpipe, and theu threw the knife away. No one was present when he made the attempt; but he was found soou ultcr by a policeman, in an almost in sensible condition from loss of blood. Haney was taken to the West Penn Hospital in a wagon, and the.'e his wound was carefully dressed, and he will probably recover. When asked by Superintendent Cowan the cause of his action, Haney replied that he was tired of living, and wan* d to die. A 4 legrara from McKeesport says; A strauge event oceured in the West moreland coijnty natural district recently, \yhiuh has placed the farmers iu that vicinity in a turmoil of excite ment. Recently tho Philadelphia Natural Gas Company lea ;d a por tion of a farm and prooeeaded to put down a well. They had drilled but short distance when a mineral rock was struck, portions of which were sent to the company's headquarters. A-tew days afterwards operations were suspended, the derrick taken away and the hole plugged up. The farmers became very much, edited arid one of them, claims to have got ten u piece ol the rock, which he says is valuable gold quartz. The postal detectives lately arrest ed a mail carrier of Allegheny City, named Cooley. who is accused of stealing letters containing postal orders and money.

The Retort Courteous. "Slightly disabled but still in the ring" was tbe bulletin issued by the Kishels shortly after six o'clock last, Saturday afternoon. You s< e tbe club had just been amusing itself with the Schuls of Pittsburg, whom they had beaten so handily a week bef re, and had invited up agaiu to give satisfaction for the former defeat. Which was certainly magnanmous Very. Only it was quietly whispered around that out - boys would give the Scbads a drubbing that they would remember, and from sundry winks and mysterious expressions it appear ed advisable to certain Humanitarians that a subscription paper be circulated lor the benefit of the poor Sehads, who would certainly not be allowed to return to Pittsburg under the aw ful defeat that was in store for them Please dq, not weep for the poor homeless fellows tiil you read down a little farther. Why, did you a*k ? Because the Fittsburgers were re ceived on the front end of a brass band when they got home. Why, again? Because the Schads had sent a tel egram home read as follows: "We have met the enemy and they are ourn." The fact was we were hisn. He came down on us as inuocent looking as in the olden time a week ago, but he was a Tiernan in bis bat- ting, a Ward in his base running, a Keeie in his pitching, aud a Mansell in his throwing. His mascot was in prime order aud his umpire was most effective. That umpire's bead needs fixing. The club was hero ou business and our name was Dennis. Bright, our mainstay, hud a sore arm, Boreland had sore hands, Scott had a spraiued hack, Lohr had to pitch and couldn't, McCullough was under a spell, McGrew couldn't find a suitable Cat, Dougherty was trained down under his lighting weight,Gow ing couldn't keep goiug, aud lleine iuan just kinder couldn't play ball. And then none of boys tried to wiu, and luck was against us. The moon was in the wrong sigu. A large crowd witnessed the agon izing spectacle of which the follow ug is a memento: Kibh !Lk ii i' a k Shads k it r a k Mc'(Urew,u:j i I 2 ii Marb'r, s.. -± 2122 Scott, l l 115 ii 2 Smliik. c. .. :i :i 5 u Borl'd, c to ii 3 3 Se'liv u, iu. l o u o 0 McCo'.'U, h.. 1114 l Het/.

If they could he induced to come up on the Fourth of July it would doubtless attiact a large crowd and wouldn't prove very painful to the club .rom the village by the river for they surely never foster any hopes of beating our boys. Uy-tbe-by, we have heard ugly rumors from the lit tle toarn of Uuckeuheimer'a own and only. It appears that remembering oertain defeats they have sustained at the hands of our Fiahela, they hail with joy the rare occasions when we are downed and are plunged into saduess up to their ears when we win. It is said the town went into mourn ing over our kuocking the Scbada out two weeks ago. I'eoplo with good digestion ate no supper that night, Brother McKee put hia office in mourning by draping the office towel over hia desk, and a deep veil of gloom about 30 inches in depth set tled over the place. The victory of the Subada has dispelled all this and if they are allowed to continue the Freeportera will surely begin to think they can "do up" our Fishela. There fore, say we, invite them up to their own tuneral and let the date be the 4th of July and may they rest in peace. Tlio Fishols' Great Ganje. Truly baseball is a game fearfully ami wonderfully made. After chronicling the above game wo learu that the Fishela played a magnificent game at Blairsville on Tuesday and defeated their crack club by a score of l> to 2. The game was characterized by the evideut superior ity of our boys both at bit and in the field, and was an exhibition of such playiug as would havo befitted the greatest professional clubs. Butler's sole error was one of those unimport ant ones that are unnoticed and, prac tically, our boys played in faultless style. Lohr pitched the game of his life and Douherty, Bright and McCul lough gaye evidences of what they can do by making phenomenal catchea "Old Reliable" Scott did the slug ging, having three ba3o hits to his cre dit Butler's boom includes baseball aud just you chalk it down.
