The political campaign in Batler County may be said to have opened with the meet ing of the Republican County Committee here last Saturday. The canvass so lar has l>een very quiet and uneventful, but the work of organization has been going on steadily. The Chairman and Secretaries of the County Committtec have matters well in hand. In an ••off year" such as this, there is always more or indifference among TOters and even among party worker*, but thin meeting of the Committee and the completing of the organization will have a tendency to awake all to their duty. We were agreeably surprised at the number of (•launch Republicans who gathered in Bnt ler last Saturday, all parts of the county were represented, and the attendance •poke well for the zeal and enthusiasm of Butler County Republicans. Next Governor. A Republican candidate for Governor, to succeed Governor Beaver, has to be nomi nated next year and there are already a number of gentlemen named for the nomi nation. Among them is Hon. Charles W. Stone of Warren County, Ex-Lieut. Gov ernor and Secretary of the Commonwealth. The Bradford, McKean County, Star, of 26th .Sept. nit., has quite an able article in his favor: his home papers of Warren Co., also strongly endorse his candidacy aud ill who know Ex Lieut. Gov. Stone per sonally will heartily assent to all said of him as a man. His record aud his ability as a public officer are also equally good, and while it is yet a little early to discuss the merits of candidates for Governor, in the nomination of Mr. Stone the Republi cans would undoubtedly have a clean, pure and strong candidate. Four New States. North and South Dakota. Washington and Montana held their elections to ratify their proposed constitutions, and elect State officials, last Tuesday, and the for mal proclamation of the President is now the only thing necessary for their complete admission to the Union, and to entitle them to full representation in Congress and in the Electoral College. The admis sion of these States makes a complete line of States along our Northern boundary, ex cepting the narrow strip of Idaho, just as Utah stands in the way farther South. The returns from the new States are in complete, but indicate that North and South Dakota aud Wivshington have elect ed their Republican tickets, aud that Mon tana has elected its Democratic. 11l South Dakota the Prohibition clause of the Constitution is supposed to have carried, while the Minority Representation clause is supposed to have been defeated. North Dakota lias probably rejected Prohi bion, Washington has probably defeated the Female Suffruge article in its proposed Constitution. In South Dacota most of the campaign work was devoted to dis cussion of the site for a new capital, the cities in the field for the honor being Sioux Falls, Hnron; Pierre, Mitchell, Watertown, and Chamberlain. Washington voters had to choose be tween Olyinpia and Yakima for State cap ital while the questions of woman suffrage and prohibition were ulso voted on. In Montana the issue was entirely polit ical.

Let's see whether his ca«e will l>e a second Cronin farce. A < rwoi s discovery connected with the recent disastrous conflagration is reported by a Spokane Falls paper. The safe of llasoii. Smith <1 Co. became cracked by the inten«e heat and their books were ;-harred and baked to a blackened crisp, though they remain intact. Not a figure could be distinguished. One of the bookkeepers, wliii. turning over the leaves, noticed that where hi- finger, which was wet, touched the page the ligtirc- appeared legible through the moi-ture. He procured a paint br..-h dipped it in water, and dampened the wbolu page, and was gratified to see all the figures dimly outlined. Two book keep' r* then went to work. aniPby wetting the page- and carefully turning the leaves succeeded in a few days in transferring all the accounts to a new set of books. The books are as black as iuk, and the leaves crumble to piece* when handled. Meeting of the Co., Committee, The meeting of the County Committee in Batler last Saturday was one of the most agreeable and harmonious that we have ever attended. It was called to order by Chairman Bell at 1:30 p. m. Secretary Wise called the roll, and it was found that thirty districts were represented. Dr. Bell stated that the object of the meeting was to hear reports from the dis tricts and consult as to the work of the campaign. Mr. Barron moved that each township be called upon for a report, which was agreed to. Mr. J. C. Kiskaddon, of Allegheny twp., had nothing special to report, thought that everything was all right in his twp., and that all that was needed was to get out the vote. S. H. Murse. of Buffalo twp. said every thing was in working order in his twp. Mr. J. B. Orbison of Donegal said that everything would be right there if the vote was out, and there was more oil than pol itics in the twp. just now. Mr. D. L. Dunbar of Forward twp; Mr. O. G.

Ensminger, McCandle ss and Robinson of Butler, all made similar reports. Hon. C. C. Townshend, who was in the room, was then called upon for a few re marks. lie said that the State Committee was anxious that a full vote should be poll ed this year, and from what he saw here he had no doubt but that Butler county wonld do her share, and that we should not encourage tho enemy by any negli gence. Xewton Black Esq., being called upon said that work was always necessary, that over confidence left votes at homo, that election this year was just as important as though there was a full ticket in the fiold, that the Republican party was in better shape to-day than it had been for fifteen yewrs, that it now controlled both branches of Congress and tho Executive and was in shape to pass some greatly needed nation al laws. Col. Redic, being called upon, said that there was one principle of war that would apply to politics, and that was that when you got the enemy on the run you should follow him up as closely as possible and keep him on the run. Xobody else felt like talking, r.n<l a mo tion to adjourn carried at 3 p. in., and end ed an instructive meeting and one that should be of benefit to the party. Prospect News.

Irvine farm, about a mile below Callery Junction and half a mile west of Myoma station, came in good, last Thursday eve ning. When the sand was reached, the oil spouted over the derrick, took fire from the forge and burned np the rig. The fire was extinguished next evening and the well has been been producing about 23 barrels an hour or over 500 barrels a day since. This well is but a few rods from the old dry hole on the Kline farm; the nearest producing well is on the John Staples fann a mile of so distant, so it will be seen that it opens np a new field; and it created a great excitement among oil men. who flocked to that vicinity for leases. Dr. Ir vine leased ten acres more of same farm to Bishop <£ Co.. of Evans City, for $3,000. and 30 acres to the South Penu or Standard Oil Co. for $13,500. The well waa owned by Reed A Co.. who sold it, Saturday, to Greenlee, Russell A- Forst for $40,000, but there was a hitch in the proceedings. The lease was taken by W. 11. Gibson, who with the assistance of a Mr. and Mrs. Davis, of Pittsburg, started the well; Gib son ran out of money and his interest was sold by the other parties at constable's sale; and after the well came in good he claimed that he had uever been legally divested of his interest and employed attorneys to bring suit. On Tuesday eve ning the matter was settled, the well sold to the parties named for $43,000, and the money divided as follows —Gibson and his attorneys got SB,OOO, Reed s7,l66,Mcln tyre $3,500, Paul Mcßride $7,160, Mrs. Davis SIO,OOO, and Mrs. Davis $7,106. The Christie Bros, well on the Welsh farm came in good, Friday morning. When the sand was first reached it flowed at the rate of about 250 a day, and will make a 100 barrel pumper. The Kessclman-Locke well on tho Duff farm, Brush Creek, drilled some months ago and supposed to be a duster, was drill ed deeper last week, and began flowing at the rate of 300 a day. It opens consider able new territory. Christie No. 2 on the Greenert farm reached the sand, Sunday, and began flow ing at the rale of 200 a flay. There are three producing wells on the Greenert farm now, and the royalty of the widow and heirs amounts to about SSOO a day. Some years ago John's interest was sold at Sheriff's sale and bought by Daniel F. Xegley, who now claims a ninth interest in the production. Pontious, Rodgers <t Co. sold twenty-two producing wells in Fairview Tp.,last week, to S. G. Coffin, of Bradford, for $35,000, and Thos. Carlin, of Petrolia, will have charge of the property. On Saturday last John L. Shannon, of C.mnoqnenessing Tp., leased 30 acres to W. J. McKee, of Butler, for an eighth and $2,500, bonus, cash. Thirteen wells have been located in the new Adams"Tp. field. The Phillips well in Clearfield Twp., Stewart farm, is rated at 7 barrels- The big Campbell A Murphy on the Greenert, Centre distric', is doing about 35 an hour. The Bolard & Greenlee, on the Hozlett farm, is in the sand and is rated at 50 a day. A five barrel well was completed on the Levi Kerr farm, near Farmington, in Ve nango Tp., a few days ago. The lease is owned by Charley Westerman, of Millers town. The Smith & Co. well on the Sach farm, at the Centre, came in Wednesday and is reported to be a rank duster. This was an important venture as to the eastern exten sion of the field. The Campbell Mnrphy was doing 35 an hour, Wednesday, but the other wells there had declined. The Trimble farm in Middlesex Tp. was finished Wednesday, and is doing from GO to 75 barrels a day. The Allegheny Syndicate well is still making 130 barrels per day. The same parties started drilling on the Canning furm, Monday, and are building a new rig on the same farm. A number of wells are noaring the sanil in the hundred-foot district, and will be in next week. Sutton, Christie <fc Co. have a well on the Shanon farm that is showing up good. White <fc Co. started building a rig to day at Myoma, near the new strike. Three other new rigs are going up and Goss <t Co. will start three rigs at once. Johnston «fc Co., on the Vandervort farm, one mile west of the Forst A" Co., is on top of the sand and shut down to put in small casing. Mt. Chestnut and Vicinity. Who is our poet?

The "Young Helpers" met in the church last Tuesday evening. The general exer cises consisted of singing and literary ex ercises. 0. The Fat Men's Club. What unctuous fun the title suggests. Who has not heard of fat men's clnbs, so suggestive of clam bakes and other sum mer diversions? What hamlet, village, town hath not its fun-making at the ex pense of extra avoirdupois? Fat men have furnished fan to the masses through count less generations. Fat men throughout the land furnish us with most of our merriment and much of our philosophy. In the make tip of our communities they are central figures, and mix wisdom with jest in such proportion as to give a leaven to legislation that does away with its dryness. On the whole the fat man is more useful than or namental. J. C. Stewart, as a fat comedi an, is a worthy successor to liurton. In the last seven years he has won fame and fortune in his extravagantly amusing com edy. "The two Johns." He is known the length and breadth of the Uud. "The two Johns" is still iu the full tide of suc cess. Mr. Stewart has recently writteu anoth er comedy, "The Fat Men's Club," in which he will enact the leading character, and iu which will appear a quintette of fat players. The very name suggests a wide scope for humorous characterization. Of this the auth or has taken full advantage. The piece is full of convulsive lines, ludi crous situations and side-splitting business. Twenty-four people will appear in it, in eluding two vocal quartettes, male and fe male, and a troupe of acrobats. At Butler Opera House Wednesday, Oct. 9th. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Miss Mamie Robinson, a daughter of Sarti'l Robinson of Franklin. Pa., drowned herself in French Creek last Sunday night. She left a note saying that she was tired of life. A Brownsville woman undertook to cut bread while holding the baby in her arm?. She c-nt the bread and also the end ol the babv's nose off. In Allegheny last Thursday a man was fined $25 and costs for keeping a vicous dog chained in his yard. The dog bit a woman, who brought suit under the new law. The top of the crucible of blast furnace C, of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, in Braddock. gave way last Thursday even ing, allowing the molten metal to pour down in a burning stream upon General Mauager William R. Jones and ten work men, who were on the sand below. One of the workmen was burned to a cinder, another died on Friday, and Capt. Jones died Saturday evening. Furnace C, at which the accident occurred was not work ing well during the day. At 7 o'clock, shortly after the night force reported for duty, Captain Jones with six of his men went to work to remedy the trouble. The monkey at the bottom of the furnace through which the iron passes into the sand pit was taken off. The cooler next to the monkey was also removed aud it was found that a hard crust of cinder had formed inside the furnace. This crust had caused the trouble, and in shattering it with a heavy iron bar it passed through into the furnace, which is 80 feet high and 23 feet in diameter. It was completely filled with molten iron. With that enormous pressure a steam of seething fire flashed from the 15-inch hole made in breaking the crust. It struck the workmen with terrific force and scattered them about in wild coufnsion. Captain Jones was thrown back full forty feet, while the others were lifted about the sauie distance in other directions. At Mt. Alton, 10 miles from Bradford. Pa., John Quinn shot and killed his wife last Thursday with a Winchester rifle. The cause of the crime is said to be unjust jealousy, claims that his wife had been intimate with a man named Brennan. After shooting his wife Quiun started after Itrennan with the Winchester on his should er, but was disarmed by Constable Wash bourn and taken to Smethport and lodged in jail. On Thursday last the Hebrews of Pitts burg celebrated their New Year's Day. All the synagogues were crowded, and the ser vices were especially beautiful at the Eight Street Reformed Temple, where Rabbi Mayer occupied the pulpit. A num ber of the orthodox congregations went to the river bank and there proceeded with their devotions according to an old custom. Two of the three prisoners who escaped from the Brookville jail some weeks since were recaptured, tried and convicted of the offense charged against them. They also got a year each to the workhouse for breaking jail. It is pretty severe to be sent to prison for falling out of jail. The last remnant of the once powerful and warlike tribe of Seneca Indians, who remain on the reservation in Warren coun ty, has dwindled away to less than 100 members. The red man is passing away at such a rapid gait that it won't bo many years before the last one has obeyed the summons of his Manitou and gone to the happy hunting grounds, leaving behind him only the romance of his life and the history of onr country to remind us that he was ever among us. The physicians of Lawrence county have effected a combine, and according to a New Castle paper arc at work compiling a blacklist which will appear October 1. Per sons whose names appear on this list can not secure the services of an} - member of the Association without first paying up the old score Burney Martin, noted in Forest county annals, was tried at Tionesta last week for selling liquor without license, lie was ac quitted. Several years ago, it is said Bar ney beat the county out of several hund red dollars by manufacturing the cars of wildcats and getting the bounty on the same. With a genuine car for a pattern, he would cut its shape out of the hide as far as the hide would go. Then, as wild cats' ears have hair on both sides, he scrap ed the flesh side of the bogus ears till they were thin enough, and then glued them together. One day, while getting his bounty for a false ear, it fell into a tub of water, came apart, and put an end to Bar ney's game. A hktkkn- ykar-old girl arrived at Cas tle Garden, last week, as the vanguard of a family of twenty-five children, the rest of whom are soon to follow. Her lather, mother,thirteen sisters and eleven brothers will join her if she gives a favorable report of life and prospects in America. THAT was a terrible railroad accident on the X. Y. Central near I'alatine Bridge, last Friday, and the circumstances can be condensed as follows: The first section of the St. Louis vesti buled express had a defective steam chest. The second section's brakes didn't work. Somo say it wasn't signaled. Others say the order to run ten minutes apart was disregarded. Anyway, the second section ran into the rear end of the first, and the result was four travelers killed and quite a number injured.
