Mr. John Minteer of West Franklin twp.

He had boon sick for the past two years;
and though seeking medical aid from va

The friends have our sympathy in their
great bereavement.
Mr. Rank ins will soon have his new

in our end of the township. It is feared
that they mar spoil the attendance of
Home of our schools.
The members of McKee's Chapel contem
plate the erection of a new house of wor
ship, or a perfect renovation and repairing
oftheoldone. We think the new one
would be preferable to the repairing of the
old one, if the members can agree among
themselves, end the fnnds raised necessa
ry for the erection of it. We think that
t here are many good Methodists in other
placet who would be willing to aid their
" weaker brethern in the erection of a suita
ble house of worship, if they were but in
formed of the needs of the congregation.
Some of our young iolks attend the Lit
erary at Kattigan. It is said to be well
attended. Thus Car we have not been able
. to attend any of them, however much we
should like to.
Mr. Jamee Martin is quite low with pneu
monia at present. It seems that he has a
bard time, he is ju«t getting over the mea
. ales. We hope he shall be able to get ont
soon.
Our roads are in bad condition in many
places, owing almost wholly to tbe fact
that tbe drainage ia very poor. Tbe roads
at Fenelton have been almost impassible
at frequent times during the winter. It is
tbe earnest wish of all our citizens that
tbe re-elected Supervisors may commence
this season of roadmaking with renewed
vigor; and that they will greatly improve
' upon the work done last year. Let us all
rally around our Supervisor; and say a good
word. It will help bim along.
The schools, so for as we know, are do
ing good work, and tbe citizens seem well
satisfied with tbe "Irish and German"
teachers. It is most earnestly hoped by
* the friends of our common schools that our
worthy Directors will not stop with the
importation of tbe so-called foreign teach

in which they bave started, and proceed
to furnish cur school bouses with comfort
able seats and desks; also maps, charts ami
other apparatus r.coessary to the oomfcri
and welfare of our boys and girls. Tbe
fact that OM of tbe members of our school
board was re-elected with a sweep
ing majority at the recent elec
tion sufficiently attests the popular
ity of the more which they have
taken; and we are assured that all they
need to increase their popularity is to
faithfully perform the functions of their
office, and do what seems to tbem right,re
gardless of tbe opposition confined to a
certain class, whom, to say the least, we,
tbo people of Clearfield twp. are far from
being proud <*• May our directors watch

The New Orleans Lynching.
Several months ago, Chiet Hennessy 01
the New Orleans police force took meas
ures towards suppressing the Crimea com
mitted by a secret society among the Ital
ian population of the city, known as the
Mafia and which had held a certain quarter
of the city in terror.
For this he was doomed by the society
and was waylaid and shot down by assas
sins concealed in a shed, as he was pass
ing.
Nineteen of the members of the society
were arrested for complicity in the murder,
they have been on trial daring the pant
month and one after another were either
acquitted, or the juries disagreed.
On Friday of last week a jury brought
in a verdict of acqnital in favor of six of
the gang, who were tried together, and
disagreed as to three others. Reports of
the jury being tampered with were freely
circulated, two men were accused of bribe
ry and were indicted, and that night se
cret meetings were held all over the city.
Next day, in response to a published
notice several thousand citizens met at
the Clay Statue, and were addressed by
one o' the leading attorneys and one of the
leading tnsineus men of the town,and then
they marched to the prison where the Ital
ians were yet confined and surrounded it
Beams and crowbars had been provided
for battering down the doors, and they
were battered down, and then some fifty
men, who were armed, searched the
corridors and cells of the prison and killed
eleven of the Italians, the others saving
themselves by concealment in odd nooks.
The people then, at the instance of the
leaders quietly dispersed and went to their
homes, though the blood of one of the men
accused of tampering with the pry was
loudly called for.
The whole affair was over in an hour or
The members of the Cotton Ex
change met that afterncon and justified
the action taken by the people that morn
ing and the Stock Exchange met and ex
pelled one of its members,who was a mem
ber of the jury that acquitted the Italians,
and he, fearing violence left the city.
The was on© of th© most remarks
ble that has ever happened in this coun
try and ic resembles the outburst in Cm
cinnati of a few years ago, and must have
been brought about by an administration
of the law, infamousi beyond the compre
hension of one at this distance.
The crime for which the nine Italians
had been on trial was the assassination of
Chief of Police David on the
night of October 15 last. The Italian poj>
ulation of New Orleans numbers about 10,-
000, and for some years the city has been
cursed with murderous societies organized
among them, known as the Mafia, the
nameof aSicilian band of assassins. There
were rival gangs In the New Orleans Italian
population, which carried on their ven
dettas, and shot and carved up each other
at pleasure. As they operated chiefly on
each other there was no determined effort
made to break up the dangerous practice
Finally Chief Hennessy resolved to break
up the murderous gangs. He secured evi
dence against the leaders and October 22
was set as the date of the trial. The mur
derers immediately banded together and
shot him down as he was returning to his
home on the night of the 15th of October.
One of the chief causes of public mdigna
Hon in connection with the Mafia trial has
been the belief that tbe society depended
on bribery to secure tbe relase of the ac
cused. It has been asserted that #75,000
or *IOO,OOO was contributed by Italians all
over the country to be used as a corruption
lund. Thousands of dollars, it was said,
came from Chicago, New York and other
cities where the Italians are congregated in
large numbers. It is certain that the poor
Italian laborers of New Orleans and vicin
ity were taxed 12 a piece as a contribution
to the defence fund, and that there was no
lack of money in the treasury of the
society.
The leading newspapers of New Orleans
justify the affair as follows.
The Times-Democrat says:
The people of New Orleans, having vin
dicated the majesty of the law in one short
hours time and with such temperance a«
the ugly work to be done would admit of,
will also, of course, restore to the sworn
officer* aud ministers of the law their
authority usurped for so brief a while.
Thus doing, they will convince both friends
and enemies that theirs was no desire to
interfere in tbe least with the established
order of things: but only to oust an evil
element that threatened to mar the sym
metry of that order. Our justification was
necessity: onr defense is self-preservation,
Nature's primal law.
The Picayune says:
Yesterday the people of this city roue in
wrath and indication at the corruption
and perversion of the machinery to which
was delegated the administration of jus
tice. They didn't overwhelm and sweep
away the officials, but, brushing them aside
they took in their own hands the Bword of
jastice, and they did not lay it down until
they had executed vengeance upon the
criminals whom the corrupt ministers of
justice bad excused and set free. This time
the dreadful sword was nottnrned upon the
perverters of the law, but upon the viola
tors. But the suggestion is most siguifi
cant, the warning is terrible. Let those
who have made necessary this dreadful ex
pression of the popular right and the pop
ular will tremble lest worse befall them.
The States says:
Citiiens of New Orleans, you have in one
righteous upheaval, in one fateful gust of
mighty wrath, vindicated your laws,
heretofore desecrated and trampled under
foot by oathbound aliens who had thought
to substitute murder lor justice and the
suborner's gold for the freemans, honest
verdict. Your vengeance is consecrated
in the forfeited blood of tho assassins.
The affair has created a sensation all
over the civilised world. The Italian col
onies of New York, Chicago and other
cities have appealed to their home govern
ment, and President Harrison and Secreta
ry Blaine have been flooded witb dispatches
regarding it. It is claimed that three of
the lynched Italians were citizens of Italy,
which, if true, may lead to some interna
tional complications.

Recollections of Butler; or Fifty Years
Ago.
{Continued.)
STEVKSSOS-MILLKR-RRF.P SQUARE.
P&ssingover North street and continuing
down west side of Main is the square we
give the above name. Within our recol
lection from North down to the old limit of
the Boro, now Penn street, was known as
the "Gilmore Meadow." Some citizens
yet living can recollect when the cows
were turned into pasture at the corner
where now is the Acme Candy and Con
fectionery store of Mr. David Scott. The
lot on this corner fifty years ago was the
property of the late Mr. Abraham Steven
»on, who about that time built the house
now standing there, embracing the Ilaslett
part, now owned and occupied by the heirs
of the late Hon. William Haslett. Mr.
Stevenson sold it all to the late Mr. "W il
liam Miller and from Mr. Miller came the
Haslett part. The corner part now oc
cupied by Mr. David Scott, became in
recent years the property of the late Mr.
Thomas Stehle, and is now the property of
his daughter, Mrs. Aland.
The late Mr. William Miller owned also
tbe middle lot of this square. He was a
cabinet maker and had bis shop and carried
on that business in tbe buildings there
until bis death, about ISPO. He was
succeeded there by his son, present Mr.
William F. Miller, who had his cabinet
making shop there until recr-ntly. This
lot and buildings are now the property of
the heirs of Mr. Miller and are at present
occupied as boarding and eating houses.
The nt ~' Int is that of present Genl.
George V. vt! »n which is his comfort
able ri--i.. ;■ ■■ •• nl. Heed bought this
about 1839, m. ! I" : t and moved there in
1840* now more than 50 years ago. He
also bought the adjoining lot of next
square, now owned and lived upon by Mr.
Alfred AVisk. Here he built and bad his
saddlery shop from about 1850 to 13G1.
Previously he had bis shop in places here
tofore mentioned and after-wards in about
same places. In 1863 hff ceised working
at his trade and has lived since then in his
present home.
GENERAL REEI).
All things considered Genl. George W.
Reed is the most interesting citizen of
our town at present. He is prchaps the
oldest, being if he lives to July coming, 88
years of age. He came to Butler, it is
stated, in 1824, and while therefore not one
of the very early comers yet he is perhaps
the closest connecting link between them
and the present of any of our other old
citizens. He has always been an active,
correct and industrious citizen, of good
moral habits and honest in all his ways
and walKs. In military affairs he has been a
most prominent and conspicuous character.
He at one time was the Captain of the
"Butler Blues." a militia company of the
town. Soon after be was a Major in the
militia, then an Adjutant to a battalion;
then Brigade Inspector, from 1835 to 1842;
then Brigadier General, until 1848. During
part of this time Butler was connected
with Beaver county in military matters.
In all these positions General Reed was
every inch a soldier. No more gallant or
soldier like man ever sat in saddle. When on
horse back to this day be sits quite erect,
and rides with ease and grace, conmanding
the attention and admiration of all. His
services are still called for upon Decoration
Days. Reunions of Regiments, and other
military occasions. He retains to a re
markable degree all bis faculties except
'.hat of hearing, and if it were not for this
loss of hearing he says he is as good a man
as he ever was.
In 1845, GenL Keod was elected Sheriff
of tbe county, over the late G'-nl. Robert
McNair; and in 1862 he *an elected Treas
urer of the county. In politics he was a
very ardent and active Whig during the
day* of that party, and since then has been
an equally ardent and active Republican,
always exerting an influence with tbo
people surpassed by few if any ol our older
or present citizens, lie yet takes u lively
interest in all public affairs and is respect
ed by all.
MKCULI.NO MKADOW.
With this last pquare ends what were the
built up squares of Butler 50 years ago.
On the apposite, East side of street from
this last one, was what was then known as
the "Meohling Meadow," on which were
no buildings of any kind. The "Gilmore
Meadow" on the "West side was built upon
a little earlier than the Mcchling one. The
present residence of W. D. Brandon, Esq.
and family was the first break made on the
old Mechling meadow. This meadow ex
tended from Main street east to McKean.
and Xorth to the old Borough line, now
East Penn street, containing six or eight
acres. It was the favorite place tor foot
ball games or playing, 50 years and more
ago. About the holidays every year there
was sure to be a foot ball match in the
Mechling meadow, largely attended by the
ncholars at the old Academy and many
others. The meadow was divided by a
line as near the middle as could be. Two
parties were made up, with captains and
rules for tbe play. Both parties assembled
at this middle line. Tbo ball, a large one,
was tossed up in the air and the contest
began at its fall, the struggle being on
each side to get tbe first kick and the
objective points being the fences at the
north or'south ends of the meadow. Which
ever party got the ball to the fence of the
other first were the victors. These matches
were often exciting and hotly contested
souie times ending in a row, possibly a
light. The penalty paid by the defeated
side was a treat for all of apples, ginger
bread, and cider, to wash it down.
The Hrandon residence was, as we have
said, tbe first building put on this meadow.
It was built by the late Mr. Samuel M.
Lane, about the year 1K47. Mr. Lane sold
the lot and house to the late Dunlap Me
Laugtilin, Esq. 1853, and he sold wair.t> U.
the late Mr. James Campbell, about 1855.
Mr. Campbell lived there uutil his recent
death. Bis son, T. Chalmers Campbell,
Esq. and bis son-in-law, J. B. McJunkin,
Ei<q. have their fine residences on parts of
this lot, on North street.
W1 Til KKHt'OON IShTIT DTK.
Tbe Witberspoon Institute was we think
the next buildiug on this old meadow; the
Scbreiber House being built after it. The
Witberspoon was erected about 1853, under
the auspices of the Presbyterian Church.
The late Kev. Br. Loyal Young was its
first Principal. Kev. David Hall followed
Br. Young as its Principal. Then follow
ed liev. J. It. Coulter, Be v. Martin
Uyerson, Kev. John Smalley, Kev. K.
Boyd, Kev. Jesse Wells Hamilton, aud
finally the late Kev. W. I. Brugh, all a*
Principals of this Institute. During their
time the U itnerspoon was a widely known
and useful educational one, turning out
muny scholars who have risen to distinc
tion in many of the professions, especially
in the Ministry. In the Witberspoon
was purchased by the English Lutheran
Church of this place, where that congrega
tion worship at present and whoso property
it still is. Mr. Brugh made an ell'ort to
have erected a more extensive Institute
than the old one, for that purpose purchas
ing ground on what is now called "Insti
tute Hill." But the project failed for want
of financial oid. A building however was
erected in which schools were held for some
years, when it became the property ol t ln-
Catholic Church and a seminary of that
church in there at present.
From the old Witherspoon, or now Clay
street, on the old Mechling meadow are
now the residences of Mr. Henry Miller,
Mr. Kirr Mi-Bride, Mr Dal Harvey, Dr.
Zimmerman, Hon. Charles McCandlet**,
Theodore Husoitou, John Huaelton, Esq.,
and Capt. Samuel Walker, all built in re
cent years.
Crossing now East Penn street was an
other meadow known a* the Suilivan
meadow, being the property of the late
Hon. Charles C. Sullivan, originally a part
of the Graham land. On it at present is
the residence in which Mr. Gil) Linn re
s-ides. and the residences of K. P. Scott.
Esq., John S. Campbell, W. S. Ziegler, G.
Wilson Miller. F. M. Eastman, Esq., the
late Capt. James B. Storey, in which Mr.
D. Osborne resides, and the residence of
Hon. A. L. Hazen. all built in recent
years.
From there up on former Graham ground
is the Mr. John B. Graham former resi
dence, now we believe the property of Mr.
Charles Duffy, and the residences of Dr. J.
C. Redick. Rev. W. E. Oder, Joseph C.
Vanderlin, Ksq.. J. 11. Grieb and the Hen
ry Eitenmiller property, formerly that of
Mr. Ebenezer Graham, all constructed in
recent years.
ROBERT ORAIIAM ASH RESIDENCE.
Crossing over the road, now Main St..
stood the residence of the late Mr Robert
Graham. On its old foundation now
stands the residence of Mr. U. W. Christie
This was built in recent years by Mr. Ber
nard Dougherty and when built was con
sidered the most costly and elegant resi
dence in the town, and is perhaps such
yet. it passed from Mr. Dougherty into
the hands of Mr. John Berg, who sold
same recently to Mr Christie. The old
house there was also a brick one and Mr.
Graham lived there 50 years ago and for a
period bevond our recollection.
With the exception of the Cunninghams
the late Mr. Robert Graham gave more of
bis property for the founding of Butler as
the county "seat than any of its other early
citizens. "To his liberality, it is recorded,
that the early town owes much for its lo
cition and growth. He was among the
very earliest settlers and became the
owner of the tract of land, 300 acres, im
mediately North of town. He did the
teamtng'or hauling between here and
Pittsburgh for many years. We recollect
his team of four bays and the old fashioned
wagon in which he hauled goods for the
merchants here from Pittsburgh. This
wagon had a covered bed. curved up high
in tront and rear, resembling somewhat
the high old bonnets the women used to
wear. It was to Butler then, as to
the transportation of goods, what the
modern railroad freight cars are now.
Everything was sent to and from Pittsburg
by Mr. Graham and his wagon. Before
the time of the stage coaches citizens even
traveled as passengers in it, being then no
other mode of conveyance, and we have
heard some of our late citizens say they
went to Pittsburg and back in Mr. Gra
ham's wagon, and were glad of that chance
to do so.
Mr. Graham was a respected citizen, a
good, benevolent, kind hearted, obliging
man. lie raised a large family, of whom
our present aged Mr. Jubn B. Graham, Mr.
Ebenezer Graham and their sister Mrs. Mary
Heiner are the only surviving ones, all
now living here. Mr. Ebenezer Graham is
we believe the yoangest of that family.
Present Walter L. Graham, Esq. and I)r.
Samuel Graham are grandsons. Mr. Kobert
Graham died in 1849 at the age of, 81
years.
Passing down lro.ll the old Kobert
Graham place, now 11. W. Christie, are the
fine residences of Mr. Joseph L. Purvis,
Mr. B. C. lluseltonand C. G. Christie, Esq.
all of recent date. Sex t is the large
residence erected by Walter L. Graham,
Esq. about IH7O. This became the prop
erty of Ei. Judge James Bredin, then of
Mr" Howard Thompson, and now of Mr.
Wilson B. Keod, present owner. Crossing
Pearl street the next properties are those
of Mr. D. H. Wuller, Ex-.SberifF Thomas
Doneghey, Mr. G. W. Ziegler and the late
General John X. Purviar.ce residence.
These are all upon former Graham laud or
meadow. General Purviauce was among
the first to buy and build out there, lie
erected his residence about 1841, near 50
years ago. It is now the property of his
son John Purvauc •. Esq. and other heirs.
General Purviauce died so recently, 188.5,
and hi* useful life and good charactor have
lieeu so fully made known that we deem
unnecessary any further presentation of
them here.
Crossing West l'een street, old Borough
line, that divides former Graham and Gil
more meadows, is first, the Colbert pro
perty, heretofore spoken of anil where Mr.
Harvey Colbert now resides. Then is the
present Mr. W. V. Hardman fine residence,
formerly that of late Andrew Games, Esq.
heretofore spoken of. Then is the tine
residence ot S. F. Bowser. Esq. formerly
that of the late Samuel C. Stewart. Esq.
who built same about 1850. He aud Mr.
Andrew Games built their houses in samo
year. Mr. Stewart 'was a Treasurer of the
count. I *, elected about 1848. He came from
about Portcrsvillc, this county, was a
cabinet maker by trade, and a man of ex
cellent character in every way. He re
moved from here to Bearer county and is
we believe deceased. The only child of his
we know of now is a son, Mr. Newton
Stewart, of BradyV Bend, Pa.
The next residence is that of the wido.v
anil heirs of the late Mr. Martin lieiber.
This was originally the property of the late
William B. Lemmon, before spoken of. ft
has been greatly improved and is now one
of the finest looking ill the town. Mr.
Martin Reiber in his day was one of t*ie
best, most useful and enterprising citizens
of Butler. He owned several properties,
lie was father to present Ford, Albert,
Martin.Howard and Aaron E. Reiber. lie
died 1%82, aged 71 years.
The residence of late John Seoti, Esq. is
next, anil then the houses of Mr. Joseph
Elliott, Mr J. E. McCluug. and the store
building of Messrs Keed <t Kirkpatrick.
Crossing Clay street is the popular Wick
House, now owned by Mr. Alfred Wick
and kept by Mr. J. S. Wick. The Mrs.
William Miller residence is next and then
the residence of Mr. Alfred Wick. Mr.
George Weber erected this house, 1872.
This whole square was at one time owned
by the late David Walker. The late
Samuel (i. Purvis, Esq. was owner for a
time of the Wick House and that lot. The
lat" Mr. William Miller was owner of the
other two lots. Genl. Keed bought the
one next him and sold same to Mr. George
Weber, all heretofore spoken of.
This now brings us to where we left
when crossing from Genl. Heed's to
"Mechllng Meadow," and completes both
sides of Main street from where we first
commenced. And it would complete the
task we had in view if it were not that
something should be added as to the south
end ol present town, not before mentioned,
arid ol one or two points or places not on
Main street but now within the town limits.
In la.~t article one place where Mr.Thos.
B. Wbito kept the post office in year 1872,
was omitted, to wit, wheru present Kr g
meat shop is. From there he removed it
to Cunningham street, in 1873.
We also omitted to state that the late
Capt. Edwin Lyon was associated with late
William ilaslett in the publication of the
''Butler Jmirirnu" for a short time, and
also with Col John M. Thompson lor a
time in the practice of the law, Capt. Lyon
was also Cashier of present Saving s liank
lor a time, about 18(58. He died in 1872 at
ago of 43
March 19, 1891. J. 11. N T .
