The Republicans of Butler county stood by their obligations to their manhoU, Wed nesday afternoon, and after hearing .all that Maj. McDowell and his friends had to say, resolved to repudiate a nomination made by bribery, and appoint a committee to investigate and to confer with similar committees appointed or to be appointed by the other counties, fw to the proper method of remedying the great wrong that has been done to the party in this Con gressional district. The preamble and resolutions that were adopted, after a full and oomplete hearing of the case, are as follows : Whkkkab, It appears by the admissions under oath of John R. Tate,Thomas Down ing and others, that three of the delegates from Beaver county to the late Congress ioual Convention held at New Castle, Pa., July 3d, 1890, for a money consideration, were induced to cast their votes on the 19"» th ballot in said Convention, for the nomination of Alexander McDowell as a candidate for Congress in this district, and that said three delegates received the sum of sfijo each for their votes so cast, and Wukbras, It appears that the nomina tion of the said Alexander McDowell conld not have been made on this ballot, with out these votes from the Beaver county deregates obtained, as is admitted by them, through bribery and venality; Therefore, be it resolved by the County Committee of Butler County! Ist, That we condemn in unmeasured terms all such corrupt methods and means, as appear by these admissions to have been resorted to in this instance to secure the pllcged nomination ol Alexander McDowell as a candidate for Congress in this district, demand the fullest investigation of the matter, the punishment of all parties thereto, found guilty of bribery and cor ruption of delegates, and appeal to the honest voters of the district to stamp out these unlawful and corrupt methods, so that our nominations may be lawfully, honestly and fairly made, according to the will of the people. I id. That the admissions aforesaid, of the parties who received the money and coat the vote*, tbat made the alleged nomination —whether the nominee knew of the mean* used or not —make it patent to everyone that said nomination was the result of fraud, bribery and venality; it in therefore the sense of this committee that the nomination of A 'exander McDowell was unfairly, unlaw fully and corruptly made, is not binding on the Republicans of this district, and can not lie endorsed by them now, or at the polls in November. 3(1. That a committee of three be ap pointed by the Cha'rman of this commit tee to confer with a like committee from the other counties, and join in an effort to cjrroct the wrong that has been done to the Republicans of this Congressional dis ict by the fraud, bribery and corruption .of delegates to the late congressional con vention ; to the end tbat an honest fair, ii nil legitimate nomination may be made of (i candidate for Congress in this district. B. £. DBHHWOK, Ch'n., F. Y. BROOKS, N. MOVRK. About forty members of the Committee were present when the Chairman called it to order, and stated the object ofthe meet ing,and the room was crowded with others who took an interest in the proceeding. Dr. Dennison opened the proceedings by a plea for honesty in politics and wound up by saying that no honest man can ac cept a nomination procured by bribery. Dr. Peters of Centerville said we oome here to do what was right, he said all Mercer Co, waa for McDowell, and oiitio'v ed tho action of Beaver Co. Dr. Dennison moved for a committee of three men in resolutions, which carried and the Chairman appointed B. B. Denni son, Dr. Brooks and J. N. Moore, who retired to another room. There was some talk a* to the propriety of hearing the Mereer Co. delegation, and among the outsider* who spoke up, was Simeon Nixon, wh o thought the Mercer Co. men sliou'd have the decency to go home, but the general fta ,! ng was in favor of hearing them, after the committee on resolutions reported. When they did re port, and their resolutions were read, a motion to hear them carried and Maj. Mc- Dowell was the first to speak. □e began by say ing that he was not here asking for Mercy, but for Justice. He reviewed the New Castle convention and said he was fairly nominated on the 19th ballot. He was again nominated on the 105 th and, a« fur as he was concerned, without money or prtce. Qe did not pay, is not to pay, and mill pay no money for the nomination. He wants justice and a committer of in vestigation. Mercer county win j o j„ j n an investigation and if any smoke i* found on his garments he step down and out. He was followed by Samuel Miller, ESIJ. of Mercer, who hoped the Committee would take such action as would harmon ise the party, spoke of the probable impor tance of a single vote in the next Congress, of hasty and ill advised action, of the weakness of the evidence, of the effort to blast McDowell'* reputation without a trial. He wa* in favor of investigating the matter to the bottom and in Rood faith, and bowing to the decision of the Commit tee. He said the Co. Com. could not re pudiate the nomination, that was for the conference that made it. and Maj. Mc- Dowell wanted an opportunity to clear his skirts. A motion to vote on the resolutions sep arately carried, and then the convention called for Col. Sullivan, who was present to make some remarks. Mr. Sullivan said he had no desire to speak and expected to be a spectator, but would say a few words. The committee were summoned together under extra ordinary and unusual circumstances. The people had learned with surprise and in dignation of this bribery. They had read the sworn statement of one of the delegates and the admissions of the others. The Mercer Co. gentlemen overlooked the im portant fact that the purity of the ballot box and our primaries must be kept above suspicion, if wo expect the support and and confidence of the people. Our highest loyalty to onr party is honest aud the irreproachable character of our candidates. Candidates nominated by bribery cannot be supported. We cannot enter the campaign confronted with the charge of fraud. He was sorry foi Major McDowell, but the committee should hesi tate long belore putting its stamp of ap proval on admitted corruption. James M. Galbreath, Esq., was then (wil ed upon. He agreed * ith Col. Sullivan in his remarks, voted in the Convention to make Major McDowell's nomination unan imous, but the nomination was made by tho use of money and could not be ap proved. He did not accuse Mr. McDowell of bribery, and regretted the wrong done him, but the facts were ad initted and could not be questioned. Fraud vitiates everything it touches, and it will not do to adopt it in polities. The nomination was by fraud and no Republi can can afford to place on that nomination t'.e stamp of his approval. Both gentlemen made good speeches and were congratulated. The question was then called, the reso lutions were read separately, and each one was adopted without a ("ssenting voice, and also as a whole, and the convention adjourned. What Beaver Co. Did. At the meeting of the Republican county committee of Beaver Co. last Saturday after noon, tho following resolution watf offered and passed by a vote of 47 to 7. "Whereas, It is admitted that the nomination of Maj. Alexander McDowell for member of Congress from the Twenty fifth district is the result of corruptior venality and fraud; be it "Resolved, That the Bepubljcan Com mittee of Beaver county does hereby ex press its condemnation of the means whereby the said nomination was made and does hereby repudiate the same. •■Resolved" That the Chairman of the County Committee and two persons to be appointed by him be a committee to oonfer with similar committees appointed, or to be appointed, by the county committees of the several counties of this Congressional district, with a view of nominating a can didote for Congress at the ensuing election. "Resolved, further. That the County Committee approves the action of Dr. David McKinney, Jr., in making informa tion against those persons confessing to corruption and publicly accused of bribery at the late Congressional conven tion, and hereby tenders to him all necces sary aid to effect a successful prosecution of them." Those who voted "No" were J. J. David son, of Beaver; John Berry, of Baden; William Shaner, of Beaver Falls; L. L. Carson, of Beaver Falls; Henry Mornock. of North Sewickley twp.; Albert Lyon, of Ohiotwp.; R. L. En ing. of Raccon twp. A motion was made to mako this vote unanimous, aud in the \ iva voce vote that was taken there wore a few calls of "No" Ex-Congressman 8. H. Miller, of Mercer, wa« on hand and wanted to make a speech in behalf of Maj. McDowell, bnt con'd not get a hearing. He was told it would be useless to try and did not enter the place of meeting. Mr. Miller said in an in terview: "What I desired to nay was that if the charges of bribery were brought home to Maj. McDowe" directly or in directly, or remotely, that he would step down. I have positive assurances that Maj. McDowell neither directly nor in directly, by himself or any other person, paid any consideration or promised any consideration, for his nomination. I am further positively assured that he did not know that anything, or any consideration either, was to be paid, or was paid, to secure bis nomination, and tbat the first intimation be had of any such, was the publication made in the papers since the nomination. If the other counties take similar action gkiui give Marcer county Re publicans no opportunity to be heard, my personal belief is tbat Mercer county «ill support MpDpwell. Our people are a t»"H for him." Dr. McConnell, iu an interview, said the resolutions meant that Beaver county would insist on another nomination, and tbat if Maj. McDowell remained in the field there wonld be two Republican can didates for Congress. Ej-Cougressman M ;,l er went from Beaver to Sharon, and was in consultation with Maj. McDowell until late at night. A telegram from Sharon brings the informa tion that Maj. McDowell says as tho Beaver County Committee had refused birn a bearing he iB now in the field to and will not withdraw under any circumstances. Even should a new conference be called and make another nomination he declares he * ill continue in the field. WHAT LAWRKKCB IIAT DO. NKW CASTLK, Pa., July 20. —County De tective Marshall, who arrested Messrs, Tate and Shaffer, the alleged bribed dele gates, returned home this evening. Down ing was not at home and was not arrested. Tate and Shaffer waived a hearing and gave bail for the September court here. William B. Wallace, Esq., charged with, bribery, has not been arrested.- The Chair man of the Republican Committee of Lawrenca county said this evening: "There will bo a meeting of the County Committee either the first or second Satur day in August to nominate a candidate for Associate Judge, and to arrange a new committee. I cannot say what action, if any, the committee «ili take in this matter." IT is popularly supposed that the ordinary house centipede or "thousand logger" so often seen is harmless in its bite, and yet a Jersey City girl, bitten by a centipede, died in horrible agony last week. OCCASIONALLY something happens to discourage elopemonts. The other day a young Baltimore couple fled to Chicago and had a royal good time for a week or so enjoying their honeymoon, when one day they were confronted with a board bill aud they woke up to the l>al<l reality that they were in debt and had no money. The hard hearted hotel man hail them arrested and flung into jail, and there they await remittances from home. Approximate Figures.

Washikotox, D. C.. July 22.—Imme diately after the reading of the journal the voting began on the Original Package bill. The first Vote was on the Adams substitute defining original packages. It was lost — 33 to 115. The House then proceeded to vote on the House substitute for the Senate bill. The following is the House measure: •'That whenever any article of commerce in imported into any State from any other State, Territory or foreign Nation, and there held or offered for sale, the same shall then be subject to the laws of such State; provided, that no discrimination shall be made by any State in favor of 1U citizens against those of other State? or Territories in respect to the sale of any article of commerce, nor in favor of its own products, against those of like character produced in other States or Territories. Nor shall the transportation of commerce through any State be obstructed except by the necessary enforcement of the health laws of such State." As the voting progressed it was evident that the resnlt was very doubtful and great interest was manifested. At the end of the first one the affirmative had a majority of one, and at the end of the second call that majority was neither increased or'diminish ed. Then came changes of votes. Fully two dozen changes were made, and in the alterations the affirmative came out triumphant, the vote being announced as yeas, 109; nays, 94. Then Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who had changed his vote for the purpose, moved a reconsideration. Mr. Frank, of Missouri, was promptly on his feet with a motion to table that motion. The motion to table was agreed to—yoas, 118; nays, 95. The motion then recurred on the passage of the Senate bill as amend ed. It was passed—yeas, 176; nays, 38. Prospect in Dog Days.

The Guatemalans were not expecting to receirw much resist ance on the part of the San Salvadorans, and were taken completely by surprise at 1 the resistance offered, and retreated pre cipitately beyond tho borders to their own territory. No estimates of the loss of Ufa on either side can be formed, but front all accounts only 30 or 40 were killed or wounded. It in said that in view of this defeat. 2,- 000 Guatemalan troop* are advancing as reinforcements, nnder the command of General Cainilo A Ivn.rez himself, the aspirant lor presidential honors in San Salvador, basking under the protection of Guatemala. Mexioo has concentrated troops on tho Guatemalan frontier, under orders to in vado the Cantemalan territory in case Gauteniala should invade that of San Salvador.

Last week a Pittsburg family weie poi soned by eating canned salmon; yesterday the same sort of disaster took, place at Greensbnrg, with fatal results.

The f Major says: "1 was suffering greatly from a Polypus aud with Inward Piles. 1 bad tried local treatment and much medicine with no avail. I read the advertisement of Drs Salm & McClellan and I concluded to give fW them a trial. At their last visit to this city they declared me cured and they ij IK jUdßlw discharged me. I (eel now like a new man. They did everything they agreed to and treated me courteously. Tbey did me a world of good and I have been suffering from Insomnia (Sleeplessness) and general nervous prostration, dependent upon tLe former disease for more thau three years. I became so weak that I would not be on my feet for an hour at a //"/[flm time; appetite was miserable. I went to Mt. Sinai Hospital at New York '{>'■'[///uLW | City, but without the least benefit.

J/or/<I galm Speciali^ "STILL HRRU," Why certainly we are here. Don't yon rememl>er we told you a year ago we were going to stay aud don't you reiuemlier we told you how we had been working for ten years to reach the top of the busiuess, and told you we were nearly there. We told you we were not certain then whether we were the largest dealers in our lino in this great state of Pennsylvania. But now we are the largest. Just think of it right here iu Butler —the largest wholesale aud retail carriage dealers in the whole state —well it is true we have the largest wholesale an«' we have the largest retail trade. We carry the largest stock and sell cheaper than any house in the state, the amount of busiuess we do enables us to do so. We do not sit around doing nothing till customers come in then size him up aud go for all he has we do a straight forward business aud hav iug all kinds of grades of work we tell you the quality you are gettiug every time. Why just think we *<'ll the very same top buggy for s4~> that others sell for 968, an<l we keep also the very best hand made buggies—we keep the best work kept by any dealer. We have harness for and up, also the very best hand-made harness —in fact we are the only place you can get a really good fine harness You should look at our stock of surreys—the liest you ever seen at one place iu your lite. We had them all made for this year's trade and they are the latest styles, ami 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 ntade; aud then the liest 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 Merer mutrepri sent and merer try to get rich off one cus tomer. Remember we keep everything in our line and pav strict attention. You will always hnil ns here. We cannot i numerate, but just think of it, the best collar pads for fiOc, horse collars 50c and up, carts lor $lO up. We ha-'e 12 different kinds, lap robes for $1 that otherx sell at $1.50, fly nets cheaper than you could make them yourself, good kip collars tick ing face, tufted with hair with pat fastener on top for s2,—just the collar (only a little better) you have been paying $2.50 to $3.00 for. Ciood 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. Now do you think this talk is all true or is it only an advertise ment. It's quite a picture isu't it? Well, now neighbor, look here; 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 fairf Come down, it is only a little distance from Main St. down to 35 W.
