Popular Vote for Governor. j As there was no existing rule requiring ! a direct vote on the subject, the Executm , Committee, at its late meeting, did no. feel at liberty to order snch an election. Stoce then the matter has been freely canvassed and it is believed a very large majority of the Republican voters of the county desire to have an opportunity to ernress their preferences in this way. in TtoTof this fact, after consulting with all the members of the committee wc were able to consult on the subject, *c have concluded to invite the Republicans, at the primaries on the 24th inst. to give express ion to their preferences for Governor cn their several ballots, by writing the name of their choice on their tickets, to be re turned and counted as the other candi dates shrfl be counted by the County Con vention. S. D. BELL, Chairman. . LEVI M. WISE, ) GET .. 3 J. M. PAINTER, ) Call for the Republican State Convention. I HEADQUARTERS REPIBLICAN / S-AATE COMMITTEE, - I Philadelphia, April 23. 1«90. The Republican State Convention will ba held in the Opera Hou?e at Harrisburg, on "Wednesdav, June 25, 1890, at 10 o clock ul ii< l niinatii | i' T citn- : didates for Governor, ueuieuanl Governor Secretary of Internal Affairs, and for the transaction of other business. The attention ot Republicans throughout the State Is repectfully directed to the following Permanent Rules for the holding of State Conventions and the conduct of the party. _ FIRST, That Delegates to the State Con vention shall be chosen in the manner in which candidates for the General Assembly are nominated. • SECOND, Hereafter the State Conventions of the Republican I'artrshull be held not earlier than the third Wednesday of Au gust, except in the year of Presidential election, when it shall be held not more than thirty days previous to the day fixed for the National Convention, and except in Gubernatorial years. At least sixty days notice shall be given of the date of the Bute Convention. THIRD, That we recommend to the county organizations, that in their rules they allow the largest freedom in the gen eral participation in the primaries consist ent with the preservation of the party organization. The State Convention of June 30, 1686, having abolished Senatorial representation. Delegates to the approaching State Con vention will be selected according to the number ot Representatives in the Legislat ure to which each county or city is entitl ed under the Representative Apportion ment law passed by the Legislature of 1887. By resolution of State Committee WM. H. ANDREWS, CHAIRMAN. THE oft-repcated remark that a coil of inch rope is a better anil more reliable device for ewapinr from a burning building than seven-eight* of the patented "fire escapes" in use, was practically illustrated In New York on Sunday. A tenement house, provided with the usual '"fire escape*," took fire. Panic seized the occu pants, and there would have been a trage dy, for the flauies stood between them and the "escapes," had not one of the tenants, foreseeing jnst sueh an emergency, provid ed himself with a Btout rope. The womeu and children were lowered by it to the street, and the men and boys slid down it easily and quickly, and everybody wan waved. New York has a law that every room in every hotel shall have a rope long enough to reach the ground. Of course it is not obeyed The Political Ou'Jook. Several more counties held their pri maries last Saturday. The results on local matters are of no interest to ns, but as far •a they .concern the probable nominee for Governor they are of interest. In Armstrong county Mr. Delamater succeeded in electing one delegate in bis interest, the other one bciug tor Mon tooth. In Clarion Co., a Democratic stronghold, there were but nineteen votes of a differ ence between the Delamater and Mon tooth delegates,in favor of Delamater. It is always taken for granted that the ' 'machine" will control the minority counties, but in this case it came near missing it. Clinton county elected delegates who favor Hastings, and Lehigh elected three Vho will support Montooth: Lancaster county has a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor and elected delegates in his interest, and the delegation is report ed to be divided on Governor. THI Republican primaries in the con gressional district composed of Venango, Warren, McKean and Cameron counties will be held tomorrow, and there is a hot fight there for the nomination for Congress, be tween Ex-Senator Lee of Venango and Ex congressman Watson of Warren. In Venango Co. also, there is quite a contest for the nomination for State Senate between "Willis J. Hulings, W. It. Crawford and Isaac Ash, Esq. who is a native of this county. Of Mr. Ash, a correspondent of the Pittsburg Times says: Mr. Ash is an older man than either of his rivals, and is a law yer at Oil City with* good practice. Ho had not the best ol opportunities for education in his youth,and has been too busy to study grammer since. He is esteemed a man of good sense and character, and if he should get into the Senate, although tho bills he might approve might not parse according to Lindley Murray, his votes would proba blybe cast with good judgment and honest purpose, anyhow. It was Mr. Ash, if I don't misreinetnber an old story, who once paid a unique tribute to General Grant. "What was it fellow citizens," he ex claimed in the course of a public speech, "what was it that riz General Grant to the place he has riz tot Murrit, gentlemen, murrrit!" The Pan-American Congress. Writing of the International Congress, which adjourned a few days ago, G. W. Curtis says: The point that Mr. Blaiue em phasized was really the important point, namely, the scheme of international arbi tration. If that scheme should be approv ed and ratified formally by the various American states, the result would justify the assembling of the congress. Each gov eminent will now have in its returning delegates counsellors thoroughly informed both of the reasons of the propositions and j of the feeling of the other states. This I will greatly facilitate the negotiations of treaties to secure the objects proposed Moreover, the presence of so large a num | ber of delegates for so long a time in tin- | United States must have indirectly an effect j npon local opinion in their various coun- | tries. The delegates have seen for them selves. They are, as we understand, un usually intelligent uieu, and they have *tn doubtedly measured our performances by our assertions. They have seen at close view the greatest of popular republics. They have been sitting 111 the capital sim ultaneously with Congress, and they l.un becn impressed either like Lord Chatham by the Continental Congress, or like a lat •r lord of great distinction in English public life, who remarked thai nothing impressed him with our power so much a- Congress, "for if yon can stand that, YOU can stand anything." In any -..-cut tliere is no disappointment. Great resuit< were not anticipated. Yet if the arbitration treaty shall be ratified, one grint re-'lt will have been achieved. THE most cold blooded thief yet heard from is the Baltimore negro who stole a stove with a well kindled fire in it fr« m the Cfthin of an oyster pungy the other day. The Directors' Convention. There is a charm about a contest, and men will engage in one, even though it costs them something, and there is no hope ot profiting by it. Of the two hundred and eighty-eight di rectors of the county, two hundred and thirty nine, many of whom had traveled several miles over mnddy roads, put in an appearance in the Court rooui. Tuesday afternoon. The convention was called to order at one o'clock by Sup t Russell. D. B. Donthett, Esq., of Brownsdale was nominated for Chairman, and elected by acclamation, and he made an excellent presiding officer. J. A. Brandon of For ward twp. and Rev. Imbrie, of Harrisville. were elected secretaries, and AV. G. Rus sell and Dr. Hoekenberry, reading clerks, all without opposition, and they all did well. Rev. Crowe moved that the list of directors be corrected, and that the con vention proceed immediately to the elec tion of a County Sup't, as many of the di rectors living in the southern part of the county wished to leave town on the 3:50 train. M. N. Greer and C. M. Brown were in favor of fixing the salary first, but did not insi>t. and Rev. Croll's motion carried. G. I>. Swain moved to exclude all but di rectors and members of the press, a motion that carried and spectators were invited to leave the room. Rev. Imbrie moved that the candidates be nominated in five minute speeches, but an amendment providing for no speeches whatever, simply presenting names and credentials carried. Another motion to proceed to fix the salarv carried, and Pat Burke moved that it be "fixed at $5 per school. This brought on a discussion, during which it was stated that there are 207 schools in the county, which would have made $1285, not a bit too much considering the work, but the motion wiii tmiiiiseil ami ftii amendment ".It ?4 ooper school, the old rate, earned. Then the convention proceeded to elect the County Sup't. F. M. Campbell nominated S. M. Meals and presented his credentials, Thos. Hay did the same for N. C. McCollough, J. A. Brandon the same for M. A. Sutton. Reu ben Shanor the same for F. W. Magee. Kev. lireaden the same for S. J. Christley, and J. C. C'.aisford the sauie for H. H. Elliott. The candidates being all nominated, a rira roce vote was taken which resulted as follows: Cbiistley 40, Elliot 34, Meals 36, Magee 40, McCullough 40, Sutton 38; by which it will be seen that the directors of the county were very evenly divided on first choice. No time was lost in taking ballot No. 2, which resulted as follows: Christley 56, Elliott 29, Meals 32, Magee 43, McCollough 40, Sutton 38. Ballot No. 3 was begun immediately al ter No. 2 was announced and resulted as follws: Christley 72, Elliot 17, Meals 24, Magee 52. McCollough 48, Sutton 26. After this ballot was announced quite a number of directors left the room to make tbeir trains. Ballot No. 4 was then taken but before the result was announced the Millerstown delegation changed their votes from Elliott to McCollough and the result_ was as fol lows: —Christley 95, Meals 17. Magee 56, McCollough 51. Sutton 8. Friends of Messrs. Elliott, Meals and .Sttttou then withdrew their names, and ballot No. 5 resulted as follows: Christley 95, Magee 48, McCollough 70. Mr. Reuben Shanor then withdrew Prof. Magee, and the 6th and last ballot was Christley 103, McCollough 112, and Prof. McCollough was declared elected by the President of the convention. Nearly all of Magee's friends voted for Met'ollough. Prof. MeCollough being call upon and introduced, thanked the conven tion. promised to do his best and praised his competitors. Theu the convention ad journed to the sidewalk, where the candi dates for county and other offices met them, and made time pass as agreeably as possible till they started for their homes. We think that the next legislature should pass .in act giving school directors pay for one day and traveling expenses, for attend ing to "this bit of public business. Awful Fire In Quebec. LOKUCE POIHTE, QUE., May o. The Government insane asylum at this place was destroyed by fire io-day. There were in the institution when the fire broke out 1,300 lunatics. It is believed that 200 of these have perished. A long lino of gaunt towers and a mass of blazing debris reflected in the wild eyes of the maniacs is all that is left of the luna tic asylum, and tho horrible sights that were witi.essed during the destruction of the building will never be forgotten by the spectators, though to the lunatics it. was a time of supreme glee, and in their delight they disported themselves amid flames and waved their arms in turbulent satisfaction at the ruin that was being wrought. Not until the walls tumbled over their heads were their maniacal screams silenced. There were incarcerated in the asylum 1,300 lunatics, for the place was more like a prison than a hospital, and this evening not more than 1,100 had been accounted for. But many had escaped into fields and woods. The number of dead is now purely a matter of conjecture and is not likely to ever be ascertained, since no oth er record is kept than the asylum books, and these were destroyed in the lire. Tak ing into consideration all the evidence from firemen, half-sane inmates, the Sis ters in charge, bystanders and personal observation, it is a conservative estimate to say that 100 victims met their death in the flames, although some assert that the number is 200. A Card. To the Republicans of Butler Co.: Whereas certain unprincipled and de signing persons have put in circulation a report to the effect that 1 belong to the Third party, I take this way of informing the voters that the report is entirely false, and solemnly affirm before God that 1 have never voted the Third party ticket in my life. The whole thing is an electioneering scheme to hurt me, and favor somebody else. 1 invite investigation in regard to my standing in society, but 1 request vot ers not to believe every falsehood that may be started. The person who cannot present his own claims, without misrepre senting others is unworthy of tho confi dence of decent people. Signed: J. P. DAVIS, Of Brady twp. Candidate for Register <5: Recorder. THE govcrment of Brazil notifies the country at largo that it "cannot permit" tho circulation of false reports affecting its stability and credit. But alas, reportorial liars never wait for a government permit. "La NONA" is said to follow la grippe. Every one attacked falls asleep and re mains for days iu a comatose condition. IN 1880 there were in the United States twenty cities with a population each of 100,000 or over. Judging by conservative local estimates, the census of 1890 will show as many as thirty, and probably thirty-five cities each having at least ICK),- 000 inhabitants. SKNATOR .1. B.

For the very Mattering encouragement already given me in the canvass I have made, I feel very thankful to my friend*, and should I not be able to meet with them further, yet I most confidently trust that their good help and zeal in my behalf will not abate, but lead on to success. Respectfully, JOHN T. MARTIN, May 7, 1890. Buffalo tp. A Card. To the Republicans of Jtutler County: Whereas, on account of sickness in-my family, I am prevented from canvassing the county as I would like to; yet to all whom 1 have met and those 1 have not met I would say that 1 am still in the field as a candidate. It has been reported in part of the county that I had withdrawn from the contest; such is not the case, but is a malicious falsehood. FREDERICK EBKRT, Clinton Twp. Candidate for Co. Commissioner.

A man at Connellsville was rooting around a lot of old stones when he unearth ed something like 300 eggs. On taking them home and placing them in a warm place, he made the remarkable discovery that, they were snake eggs, and nearly every one turned out a real live reptile' but be dispatched them belore they could do any barm. The man who found the eggs is not giv<*n to drink. An old man in Armstrong county had SSOO in a bank in Kittauning. Because he could draw no interest on it he drew it out in gold and buried it where he could keep an eye on it. But he made a mistake. A tramp had watched the planting operation and next morning, when the frugal old gentleman went to see if his gold was still safe, he discovered that some one had "been there since he'd been gone,, and the money had disappeared. "William Mong, found guilty of burglary b} r a Clarion county jury last week, was sentenced to an imprisonment of seven years and four months In the Western Penitentiary.

The Board of Pardons has granted a par dou in the case of Charles Laribee, who was convicted of murder in \ enango county several years ago and his sentence commuted to imprisnment for life. It will be remembered that Laribee shot a colored man named Williams while they were out hunting in the uroods near Oil City. Laribee claiming that the darkey wanted to commit suicide and implored him to shoot him, and that they were both under the influence of liquor. His good behivior since went far toward granting the pardon with the Board. In Armstrong Co. D. B. Heiner received the nomination for Congress, S. B- Cochrane and P. W.

Don't yon remember we told you a year ago we were going to stay and don't you remember we told you how we had been working for ten years to reach the top of the business, and told you we were nearly there. We told you we were not certain then whether we were the largest dealers in our line in this great state of Pennsylvania. But now we are the largest. Just think of it right here in Butler—the largest wholesale and retail carriago dealers in tbe whole state —well it is true we have the largest wholesale and we have the largest retail trade. We carry the largest stock and sell cheaper than any house in the state, the amount of business we do enables us to do so. We do not sit around doing nothing till customers come in then size him up and go for all he has we do a straight forward business and hav ing all kinds of grades of work we tell you the quality you are getting every time. Why just "think we sell the very same top buggy for $45 that others sell tor $65, ami we keep also the very best hand-made buggies—we keep tbe best work kept by any dealer. We have harness for $6 and up. also the very best hand-made harness —in fact we are"the only place you can get a really good tine harness \ou should look at our stock of surreys—the best you ever seen at one place iu your life. We had them all made for this year's trade and they are the latest styles, and the finest work too —and spring wagons, we have more spring wagons than you could shake a stick at. Just think of it, $33 for a spring wagon, also the very best kind made; and then the best part of it is you always know just what quality of work you are getting when you buy from us. Our rule has always been never misrepre sent and never try to get rich off one cus tomer. Remember we keep everything in our line and pay strict attention. Yon will always find us here. We cannot enumerate, but just think of it, the best collar pads for 50c, horse collars 50c and up, carts tor $lO up.

Good hand made team harness —best oak tanned leather, all complete for $32. You paid S3B to S4O for the same, only yours hadn't as good leather.

It's quite a picture isn't itt Well, now neighbor, look nere; If you just come down and spend one hour looking through our large stock and don't say its true as far as it goes only not half told we will pay you for your time —is not this fair? Come down, it is only a little distance ftoin Main St. down to 35 W. Cunningham St. —where we pay no rent.
