That we repudiate as insulting to the manhood and intelligence of our dticens (now that the avenues of trade are opened up), the imputation that they can not and will not wisely and economically disburse any funds placed in their hands, and because of this imputation, the arro gant assumption that grardian* must su pervise oor expenditures, control onr dis bursements, purchase our supplies and make oar contracts. Bcsolcfd. That of the statements imput ed to his excellence Governor Beaver, that a million and a half of dollars had al ready been expended in Johnstown and vicinity,have no foundation,in fact it is the strongest possible argument that expend ing relief funds in contracting for build ings, quarter-master and commissary sup plies is not a wise, judicious or economical way of disbursing such funds when the or dinary sources of supply are opened up. Only by gross extravagance and careless ness could puch a sum have been used here and the people hare received no adequate return for the expenditure of so large an amount. Ax Ohio bank which employed one man as cashier, teller and liookkccpcr. at a sal ary of SI,OOO per annum, is now minus cashier, teller, bookkeeper and *50,000. At a fair salary he would have considered the situation worth more than the funds. A SMALL force of I". ,S. regulars have been doing good service at Johnstown since the flood, in building bridges and making roads. Their work was of the hardest and most disairreealde kind, and they have won high praise for their ser vices. Their pay is sl3 per month, or 43 cents per day with lioard. Ore of our State Legislators, 11. P. Brown, of Beaver, has successfully ap pealed for protection to the of our constitution which exempts a legislator froui civil process while on his way to or from a session of the General Assembly. He had. at the opening of the last session, contracted for board during the session with parties in Harrisburg Not finding it satisfactory after a lew weeks, lie paid up and went to another hotel. Suit was brought for boarding during the time con tracted for. and Brown was served with the papers as he was leaving Harrisburg for his home. Claiming the constitutional privilege, the court sustains hiui aud the original proceedings are declared void. A Much-Married "Bach." Engineer Bi>>ell, of the P. A W. R. R., who was killed by the late accident near Akron. Ohio, formerly boarded inZelieno ple. and was well known there He pass ed himself off as a '-bach," but it seems that he had two wives and was engaged to au Allegheny, Pa., woman at the time of the accident. The Cleveland Prefix of Friday says: "Bissell had a wife in Miitou. Pa.. t» whom he had been married in 18CG, just after coming out of the war, and had two children, a boy and a girl, nearly grown The body was taken from Akron Monday evening by Mrs. Eissell. of Newton Falls, also wife of the dead engineer. She was accompanied by her step-father, whose name is Carlisle, and her brother from Kent. All Bissell's effects wcro turned over to her. She said she had been mar ried to hiin six years, and that they had one child, a cripple, aged five. When Coroner Sargeant's party reached Newton Falls. Wednesday, the funeral procession was just coming out of the cemetery. Going into the home of Bissell they were introduced to the mourners and soon be gan to break the details of their errand. It seems that au Allegheny friend of the Bissell family in Milton had been tele graphed, Monday, to g« on and take charge of the body. After coming here and linding it gone he went to Xewton Fall.- and on Tuesday went to the Carlisle- Bissell residence and demanded the re mains. lie let out the secret of a dual domestic equipment, but being somewhat in liquor his demands were not given any attention, especially since he showed no papers. lie left Xewton Fall's before the coroner's part)' had arrived," but he had prepared the family for something. "I always said there was something wrong about John," said Mrs. Bissell's brother-in law to Coroner Sargent. "I told her that I thought he was playing her false, but she never would listen to me, and finally I quit talking about it." The coroner showed his papers anil Maxwell presented the certificate of marriage to the Milton wife and showed letters written to the Mil ton family. All were conclusive. The The Xewton Falls Mrs. Bissell, withoti> much ado. gave her consent to have the body dug up, and it was soon on the train coming back to Akron with Coroner Sar gent and Maxwell Parks. . "The cap sheaf of all the sensations came Wednesday at the funeral, when an Allegheny widow turned up as n mourner, saying that Bissell, who boarded at her house when he stopped in Allegheny, was to marry her next Friday. She seemed quite heart broken when she found one widow already, and left on the train on which the coroner and his party came to Xewton Falls. Had not his death sudden cut him short in his marrying career, Bis sell would have had, on Friday, three in teresting and trusting wives, with no tell ing where his marrying exploits would have ended. When Mrs. Bissell, Xewton Falls, was here Monday, after the body, the fact was mentioned to her that the train men ou Bissell's train thought him single. "Yes, that's so," she replied, '•few railroad men knew that John was married, for he'd been a bachelor so long when he married me." The poor woman didn't know what a Lotbario-like'bachelor hood it had been." Fire at Freeport. Guckenheimcr's smallest distillery at Freeport was burned to the ground on Saturday evening. It is located on the Butler county side of Buffalo creek. The firm's largest distillery is on the Armstrong county side about a mile distant. To each establishment there is connected a bonded warehouse. Close besilc the building that was burned is a warehouse containing $500,000 worth of whisky. It was the imminent danger of this vast res ervoir of liquor that caused the telegram to lie sent to Acting Chief Jones of the Allegheny Fire Department, at 7:15 o'clock, asking for aid. The fire broke out shortly before 7. Chief Jones did re markably quick work in leading the Co lumbia engine aud a wagon full of hose upon a gondola car at Madison avenue. A start was made at 8:30 and Freeport was reached in exactly 40 minutes. It is a distance of 28 miles. The distillery, which was known as the Montrose building, was a three-story frame structure 75 feet long and 40 wide. Its destruction was complete in an hour and a half. The great light %as to save the big government warehouse. Only a twenty foot alley divided it from the distillery. Robert O'Brien was the first to come to the aid of the night watchman. They quickly broke open the hose house, hut it was full of flame aud the hose was already melted and the chemical fire extinguisher ruined. A small line of hose was borrowed from the railroad and an inch stream was thrown on the blazing distillery. That of course was of no consequence. A bucket brigade formed a line down to the creek, and in this way the front of the warehouse 1 was kept wet. Still its cornices and wood work were charred. Citizens generally turned in to prevent such a monstrous conflagration as would have resulted had the 13.000 barrels of whisky taken fire, aud they were only sure they had accom plished it when the engine arrived from Allegheny. Loss, $35,00Q; insurance, $30,000. End of the Homestead Trouble The trouble at Homestead, Allegheny county, brought about by a reduction of wages, made by the owners of the steel mills there, Carnegie, Phipps Magke : When 1 held the License Court I be lieved, aud still believe, the retail and wholesale acts of 1887 were intended to restrain and regulate the sale of vinous aud spiritous, malt and brewed liquors, as declared in the title of the retail act, and that they should be construed together. For that reason I refused applications lor wholesale and bottlers' licenses when the evidence satisfied me they were unneces sary oy the business had been, or would lie, conducted in an improper manner —es- pecially and mainly as establishments for selling by the quirt or gallon, in bottles, jngs and buckets to the neighborhood. These I regarded n- little more than retail houses, although within the letter <> the wholesale act. Wholesale establishment- I have always understood were such as sold to those engaged in the retail business. Those wholesale and bottling houses which sell by the quart, jug and bucket to the neighborhood, I believe cause more intemperance and greater evils than regular retail houses. But it seems from newspaper extracts of the recent decision of the Supreme ('ourt (I have not seen the full opinion) I wa mistaken in my construction of the whole sale act and mistaken on the rule on which I acted. Ia the case of the whole salers and bottlers, it is said, the Quarter Sessions has no right to tro beyond threr questions 1. Is the applicant a citiieu of the Tin ted States' 2. Is he of good moral character? 3 Is he of temperate habitsf The Court has no discretion as to the necessity of the house, the character of the locality, the extent of the business, the nv J of conducting it. or the class of customers, since that decision, and in pur suance of it. all who were refused, for cither wholesale or bottling, have obtained licenses. This materially changes the condition of things and defeats the main object of limiting the number of retail li censes. AYhile I do not feel I made any serious mistakes, yet. had I supposed that all of those would secure license. I should certainly have granted more retail licenses. Greatly limiting the number of retail li censes and granting license to all whole salers and bottlers, is manifestly unjust t< many retail applicants. It is applying one rule to retailers and another to whole salers, without, so far as I can see. any good reason for the difference. If the Quarter Sessions had no discre tion as to wholesalers and bottlers, the dis cretion as to retailers amounts to nothing. It results only iu increasing the number of quart and jug establishments, without re stricting the traffic or diminishing the evils of intemperenee. I deem it proper to make these remarks in view of the applications next year. If it is so understood that the rigid rule with reference to retail licenses will be continued the Court will be overrun with applications for wholesale and bottling li censes, and the evils of excessive drinking will be as great, if not greater, than in the worst days under the special act of 1872. Better have a thousand retail houses than a thousand quart and jug establishments. As I have made arrangements to leave next Monday to be absent some time. 1 submit the whole matter to your judg ments, and will be satisfied with whatever you do. I have only two suggestions to offer, if you conclude to grant more li censes: 1. Do not limit consideration to the pc titioners in this application. 2. Give preference to those who have hotels or restaurants. J. W. F. AVii ITF. The Kirk Reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Monks, of Middle sex Tp., and their son, Rey. V. A Monk-, attended the reunion of the Kirk family ii. Sharon yesterday. Mrs. Monks' maiden name was Kirk and she is one of the twelve children of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kirk, ol Sharon, the semi-centennial of whose land ing in America was celebrated yesterday There are 145 members in the family connection, including those who have lie come members by marriage. The youngest lis a great-grandchild of a few weeks of age, and the oldest is Mr. Arthur Kirk, of Pitts burg. the well-known Scotchman. Owing to illness the golden-wedding celebration of Mr. and Mrs Kirk, Sr., could not be held at the appointed time a few years ago. To make up for the disappointment of the children aud grandchildren the semi-cen tennial celebration referred to was planned. Mrs. Kirk is iu her 85th year and Mr. Kirk is in his SGth year. They landed in Amer ica with six children in the year 1839. They came directly to Pittsburg, and re sided there for 15 years. Mr. Kirk engaged in the work of warp-making with the Eagle Mills, and was one of the energetic pion eers iu Pittsburg's industry. After retirement from an active mill life, Mr. Kirk moved to Sharon and has for over thirty years been identified with the in terests of that city. He is quite a proper ty-holder, and his own residence is located in one of the most attractive portions of the place. One son, Mr. George Kirk, who was general manager of the celebration, makes his home with his aged parents. There are twelve children, six boys aud six girls, all of whom were present at the re union. These are Arthur Kirk, of Pitt, burg; Mrs. Ellen Love, of Sharon; James Kirk, of Davenport, la.; David Kirk, of Bradford; Mrs. Elizabeth Allen, of Nebras ka; Mrs. Jane Monks, of Butler county; Wm. Kirk, of Parkersburg, W. Va.; Mrs. Mary Crowl, of Sharon; i)r Edward Kirk, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Ann Ashton, ofSha ron; Mrs. Margaret Tribby, of Allegheny, and George Kirk, of Sharon. Two of the children, Dr. Edward Kirk, of Philadel phia, and Mr. George Kirk, of Sharon, arc uumarried. Thk county commissioners of the Stale who met in convention last summer at Erie will assemble again on September 25 in Allentown. Their meeting last sum mer was for the purpose of discussing fi nancial matters pertaining to the duties of their office and to dralt a revenue bill pro viding for a new system of of taxation. The bill drawn up by them was a carefully considered instrument embodying all the most approved ideas throughout the Union. As contrasted with our present rattle-trap laws it was perfection itself. Yet it received but slight attention from our Legislature, and another patch was put upon tlio old system. If the commis sioners will resolve themselves into a com mit tee of the whole to secure careful con sideration of their bill by the thoughtful minds of the State, and secure influential advocates, they will be turning their ef forts to good account.—Wilkesßarre /.'<<■- ord. On Thursday of last week, the Johns town Commission, of which Governor Reaver is the head, put forth the general statement that there hail been expended •SfPcutren Hit mi red Thousand Dollitrn in the Coucmaugh Valley, and that large sums are still needed. This statement M ill probably be considered remarkable by the public. Transportation to Gettysburg. The Board ot Commissioners on Gettys burg Monuments—namely: Gen'l John P. Taylor.
