A full attendance is requested. 8. H. HCSELTON, Chairman. T. M. BAM*, > S , B. B. GRAHAM, F eec TB - the meeting of the Republican Coun ty Commit te* of Lancaster county, Mon day resolutions censuring Senator Cameron passed by a vote of 49 fb 5; and at the late meeting of the Republican County Com mittee of Tioga county, similar resolutions, and one calling npon him to resign were adopted. THE call of Comity Chairman Huselton for a meeting of the County Committee on Monday, April 20th, at 11 o'clock a. m., appears in this week's paper. The purpose of the meeting is the fixing oi the date of the Republican primary, and the disposal ot such other business as may be brought before the committee. There are tiro Jury Commissioners to elect this year—one from each party—and the best men who offer should be seleoted. The important matter, however, tor the party, is the selection of delegates to the State Convention. The management of the party in the State during the past few years has not been satisfactory to the rank and file of the party, and an effort should be made to improve it Two important State officers—Treasurer and Auditor General —are to be elected this year; this election will probably have an influence on the Presidential election of next year,' and therefore representative Republicans, and none other, should be placed on the State tioket. Remarkable Crimes. Some remarkable crimes have lately been committed in Western Pennsylvania. The shooting of Detective Gilkinson in Al legheny Co. last Saturday, and the subse quent developments regarding the careers of Fitndmmons and his female partner in crime are astonishing. Fitzsimmons is said to come of a wealthy and respectable Canadian family. He is a smart and well educated man, and seems to have adopted crooked methods from a natural inclina tion. Among respectable people he was a frank and entertaining gentleman, and at the same time he was the leader of a gang of crooks, and when cornered promptly took the life of the man who run him down. His chief accomplice in crime was a woman named Hill, the former Laura Snowden of the Mercer Soldiers' Orphans' School, a soldier's orphan, a grand daughter of John Camp of the old Camp hotel at Rochester; a prepossessing and modest typewriter in day-time, and a wanton prostitute and blackmailer at night. The developments in the case at Frank lin, Pa., are also astonishing. Some two years ago the body of Mary Tobin.a daugh ter of a merchant tailor of Franklin, was found floating in New York bay, and foul play was suspected. Mr. Tobin put de tectives on the case, has worked at it ever since, and remarked lately that he was getting very close to the parties who caused his daughter's death, and who are supposed to be persons who stand high in that town. On Snuday morning last his house in Franklin was burned, and in the ruins Mr. Tobin's body was found with wounds on it indicating murder, and many people there are reported as believing that the parties who made way with his daugh ter have caused him to be murdered and his house burned to conceal the crime. The Beaver Falls case is also worth noting. It was a case of a married man of heretofore good reputation, requiring a young girl that he had seduced to aid him in a robbery, and it is a pitiable case also, as the girl confessed when cornered, then took poison, and is now at death's door. IT is reported that the Northwestern free-silver Republicans have agreed upon Blaine as their candidate for 1892. AT Camden, N. J., last Saturday, the jury in the case oi the Com. vs. Lingo, ac cused of the murder of Mrs. Miller, brought in a first degree verdict. A few months ago Lingo was an important witness for the State in the prosecution of the La coney case. Prospect Items. About the only diversities our town has at present are bad roads and the oil fever. There are several new wells drilling in the Muddy Creek field, which should be called the McFarland field in honor of the man who developed it. Alex Urquehart, of Oil City, and Marion Henshaw, of Duke Centre, have been stay ing at the Hotel Boehm for a tew days, watching the developments in the McFar land field. J. L. Alexander and family, of Alle gany county, N. Y., are moving into the new parsonage of this place. Mr. A. is drilling on the Adam Ripper tract. N. L.

On Thursday last the new tax bill pass ed second reading in the House. Party lines were broken and it was a case of the country members against those from the city. A correspondent for a city paper states it this way. "Farmer Taggart'a hay wagon continued its triumphal march through the House to day, and the Philadelphians who tried to stop it were left in the condition of the fellow who, when he was run over, yel!ei "whoa" so loud and long that the oxen not only stopped, but backed.and ran the cart over him again. The friends of tax reiorm even reconsidered and defeated the only amendment the city people have engrafted in the bill, that exempting musical instru ments, and henceforth even the psaltery, the sacklent and the harp must bear their share of the public burdens. The pending amendment, to exempt ma chinery. was defeated, as was that to ex empt merchandise bought er consigned with a view of selling the same at a profit. The statement that the latter clause was contrary to the Uniten States Constitution was laughed to scorn,and when the Phila delphia delegation made their last fight on a proviso that the bill should not apply to cities of the first-class they were routed by a vote which made them look lonesome' • A Committee of five was appointed to investigate the amounts expended by each of the Soldiers' Orphans' schools between the years, 75 and 89. Captain Skinner, of the Soldiers' Orphan School Commission, said that in the two years the Commission had managed the schools it has reduced the annal cost per pupil from $l4O to'sl26. leav ing a surplus in its hands of $140,000. In addition to this balance the Commission asks lor an appropriation for the next two years of $123,000 or $327,000 less than was appropriated last session. The bill refunding to "W. A. Kemble thes3B3,ooo advanced by him for the Johns town sufferers, passed the House finally. The bill regarding tbe pollution of streams :ame up in the House, Monday, and it was amended 8b as to exempt from its provisions the refuse of drilling, pump ing producing oil or gas wells, paper mills, saw mills, tanneries or manufactories. Several Butler county oil producers were in the galleries of the House at the time. Quite a number of new bills were intro duced that day. and among them one by Senator Sbowalter creating a State Board of Medical Examiners and Licensers. Sen. Harlan introduced a bill providing for a new library and department building cost ing half a million, and for making improve ments in the old Capitol building. On Wednesday forty members of # the Legislature were down with the grippe, ana a resolution for an adjourment tor ten days beginning with Thursday, passed both houses. The Franklin amendments to the Brooks Retail license law were killed in the Sen ate, but it looks as though some of the changes asked for in the wholesale law would pass. The House on 'Wednesday put in five hours discussing-the Road bill. XEAR Charlotte, S. C., last Saturday, two revenue officers were killed by moon shiners. GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, and former rebel general, died of heart disease at his home in Washington last Saturday. THE Parnelliteß and the McCarthyites continue breaking each others heads in Ireland. THK Keystone National Bank of Phila delphia was closed by order of the Comp troller, after examination by the examiner last Friday, and $150,000 of the State's money, and a larger amount of the city's money is tied up in it.

In the first article of "Recollections of Butler" we spoke of "The Commons" in the then South end of town, and as being a part of the donation of John and Samuel Cunningham to the county of Butler for its County Seat. We also referred then to the piece of ground South of The Commons and between thein and the Connoqneness ing creek, some six of eight acres not in the original town, but as the property, 50 years ago and more, of the late John Xegley, .Ksq. This piece will now be best recognized when stated it is the same upon which is the flouring mill of present Mr. George Walter—old Cunningham mill— and upon which also is the residence of Mr. Walter; a house and lot of Mr. Jacob Boos; the old mansion honse of the late John Xegley; a line new residence recently erected by Mr. and Mrs. W. U. Ritter, the residence of Mr. George McCandless, and two or three houses recently erected and owned by Mr. J-hn X. Patterson, all now standing there. For some reason this piece was not in cluded in the grant made by the Cunning hams for the county scat, probably because their mill was upon it. But it was part of their 300 acre tract ofland, which they had procured before the formation of the county mil which they called "Butler," and which covered nearly all of our old built up town ind a good part of our present one. It jxtended oa the North to about present Jefferson street, and up the hills on the South td '.lid including the greater part of present S«:u!. l'.: :ory. In the bend of the creek, ab. ; i. ii.< middle of their tract, they built their ccletrated mill, the first Souring mill, according to history, built upon the waters of the Connoquenessing. They came here, the chronicles state, in 1707, and built their mill about that time. The late John Xegley first appears upon the s* enc there in 1800, and becomes for a time their miller. They seemed to hare bad an idea, from all we ever leased from mr father, that the future county seat of the county would be where it is. But their prosperity were soon shatter ed by the death of John Cunningham, in I£os, according to the chronicles. His remains were interred in the old burial ground of Bntler, and, "now no man knows tiis grave," is the brief record concerning him in the recently made history of onr town. This is a sad reflection to our citizens as to the grave and end of the man ivho as his share gave about 77 acres of the ground upon which Butler stands, embrac ng probably this very burial ground in which he was laid, and of the place in which it niu-f now be written, "no man mows his grave." But perhaps the then itizens of the town likened Mr. Cunning ham to Moses, who saw but did not enjoy the land he sought, and therefore desired that the place o t lis burial should be like unto that of Moses, of which we are told no one knew the place. Of what became of his brother Samuel we never learned. In the year following, 1806, we find the mill and the balance of the 300 acre tract becoming the property of the late Mr. Negley, and Samuel probably returned to Lancaster county, from where they arc said to have come. Samuel Cunningham, the history of the county states, was the foreman of the first Grand Jury ever convened in this county.- "DEPRECIATION LANDS." The 300 acre tract of the Cunninghams was one of what were known as "Deprecia tion Lands."' These Depreciation tracts or lands have an interesting history. They covered about half of our county. The lands themselves were not depreciated or poor, but were so called because the scrip or certificates that the State bad issued to her soldiers of the Revolutionary war be came depreciated. The State, to relieve and pay its then needy soldiers, ordered these lands, in Western part ot the State, to be surveyed into tracts and sold, the proceeds to go to paying off and redeeming the depreciated scrip held by the soldiers for their services in the Kevolution. llence name "Depreciation Lands." James Cunningham,a brother of John and Samuel, it appears was a surveyor, and was appoint ed by the State ono of its surveyors to run off these lands. The district he surveyed passed through or into part of what be came Butler county. And hence the name of "Cunningham's District of Depreciation Lauds." J.:mes Cunningham seems to have been acquainted with Robert Morris of Philadelphia, the distinguished patriot of the Revolutionary war uud General Washington's Secretary of the Treasury. Whether through the influence of James Cunningham, or through bis own desire to aid the soldiers we have never been able to learn, out Robert Morris, history tells us, purchased a great many of these tracts, about 100 of them in Ilutler county, con taining perhaps 90.000 acres of land. One thing seems pretty certain, and that is,that John and Samuel Cunningham came ont West here either through their brothei James or through Robert Morris. Robert Morris we are strongly incline! to believe aided them, and in the interests of his lauds probably sent them here,resulting in locating the town of Butler where it is. The first road made from Pittsburg to Butler was made by John and Samuel Cunningham. It was a direct strait up and down road.going up and down the hills without turning to right or left. Its old track can b<" on here yet on south of town, passing near present bam of Mr. Hugh McCrea on top of hill south of town. There were some other very steep places on it that we know of and have seen. We mention above to show the probable con nection of Robert Morris with the Cunning ham, afterwards Xegley mill property. We have bat little doubt that it was by his money or aid that John and Samuel Cun uingham came out here aud founded the mill at the point they did. Through his sympathy for the soldiers, in buying these lands and thus enabling the State to redeem its certificates issned to the soldiers, and thus pay<ng them the debt it promised them, Robert Morris involved himself, and to stich an extent, history tells us, that he became financially embarrassed and died poor, although being previously a wealthy man. All his lands were sold at the city of Philadelphia in 1807. Stephen Lowry, o! Maryland, became the purchaser at this sale of the Morris lands in Butler county. He was tho father of the late Mrs. Sarah Collins and in his will devised them to her. From Mrs. Collins they came to her daughters, tho late Mrs. Judge McClure and present Mrs. Judgo Wilson McCand less of Pittsburgh. So it will be seen, that the old Cunningham, afterwards Xegley mill property, came through Robert Morris, as came the titles of many farms in the county through Lowrcy, the successor to bis lands. JOIIS NRGtKV. From tho above it will be seen the late John Xegley was the direct successor to the Cunninghams in this first mill property, purchasing sauie as appears in 1806. lie owned and carried it on for near thirty years. Daring this time he added to it 1 a lnrge woolen mill, which was operated by a broLher-in-law of his, the late Mr. Malachi Richardson, favorably mentioned in the early history of the town. He also established near the mill a cabinet making shop, in which we have been told tho late Robert Camahan, Esq., and tho late Mr. Xorbert Foitz, were his principal workmen : for some years. He engaged also in diffV-r --! lit other kvids of Mm s«. :nn'>n;: them the i Lis par.: »- and out: 6 wn»< of Cunning I hams, appears to have been the center ( place of business for the tern- Public meetings wero held there. The first public sale of lota in the town. 1603, held or made at this mill. The Cunninghams and their successor it is said were hospitable and entertained people when coming to the mill. A rather large and good frame house had been built by them across the creek, west of the mill, sitnated among or near to large rocks. The creek at this point had, and has yet to a certain extent, a very peculiar formation. Very large rocks, by some great convulsion or up heaval in the earth, would seem to have been hurled down into or what became the creek there. The chaunel at a certain point there was very narrow and could be spanned by a single timber reaching from this side to one of the-rocks. Over this nar row, deep channel a loot walk afforded com munication between the mill and the house spoken of. The track of the recently con structed Pittsburg and Western Railroad parses over where some of these large rocks stood, causing the removal of those near the old house. Mr. Negley lived in this house for a time, between 1816 and 182tj, and he erected the one on this side ot the creek, already spoken of. Where the old house stood can yet be seen. We have spoken of his many enterprises, but there was one that deserves especial mention. This was an effort to manufacture salt here. THE OLD SALT WELL. About 1832 he commenced the drilling of a w ell for salt water, on south side of the creek, below Plank-road bridge, on now property of his daughter, Mrs. Mary B. Muntz. In those days salt wells were drilled by hand, or foot power rather, a lever being used, upon the end of which two men tramped and worked the rods up and down. These rods were of hickory and similar to those now used at our oil wells for pumping purposes. They required frequent repairing. The hole drilled was only about two and a half inches in diameter. The depth of the well, it was supposed, would have to be about the same as that at which salt water was then obtained at the salt wells on the river about Freeport, to-wit, about 800 feet. That distance was drilled, after much labor and expense, and some salt water was obtained, but not in sufficient amount to justify operating. This distance would be at about where present oil producers get what they call the "mountain sand," in which it appears some sal; water is generally found. The present theories and knowledge of "second sand," "third sand," "fourth sand," "hundred-foot sand," and "gas sand," were unknown to the drillers for salt water fifty years ago. And all recent experience derived from the oil business shows very clearly that had this salt well been drilled but a little deeper abundance of salt water would have been obtained, as witness the great flows of it found at from 1,100 to 1,200 feet, in the "hundred-foot field," and iu fact at all oil wells hereabouts. The immediate aud pressing question just now is, how to "shut off" or "head off" the salt water, and the oil producers would now rather know how or where not to find it than how or where to find it. The flow of it is so great in the "hundred foot" field that legislation is just now being sought for to prevent our streams being "salted down." The old salt well enterprise of Mr. Negley had thus to be abandoned for want of obtaining sufficient water to mako salt "in paying quantity," and after his expending about SB,OOO in the effort to find it. SALE OF THK MILL. In 1832 the mill and some three acres of the ground surrounding it were sold to the late General Robert McNair and brothers. These brothers were the late Thomas, James, William and Alexander McNair. These men were quite prominent here for a time, particularly in political affairs. A daughter of Thomas, widow of the late Mr. Peterson I'earce, is living on the farm immediately west of town. Mr. Thomas S. McNair, living here, is a son of James, who was a Justice of the Peace in the town about 30 years ago. William, a sinjtie man, went" we believe south. Alexander was quite a cripple, but notwithstanding his greatly crippled condition he studied law and was admitted to tho Bar here. Robert, the elder and leading one, died recently near Tetersville, this county They carried on the mills for some 12 or 15 year;. During this time they were entire ly destroyed by lire. 1842. They rebuilt the flouring part, which is partly the present structure there. About 1848 it became the property of the late Hon. William Beatty, who iu "turn sold it to the late Mr. John McCaroes, who carried it ou between 1850 and 1856, and ill 1857, the interest of Mr. McCarnes and the interest of Mr. Beatty, through his executors, wero conveyed to the late Jacob Walter and present John C. Grohman, who carried it on uutil the death of Mr. Walter in 1865. Mr. Walter was succeeded by his son, present Ex-Sheriff George Walter, and the firm became Groh man A George Walter, until Mr. Grohman sold his interest, about 1872, to present Mr. Jacob Boos. It has since been carried on by Messrs. Walter and Boos, either jointly or separately, until last year, when Mr. Boos so,d his interest to Mr. Walter, who is entire owner at present and is now carrying on this old aud noted mill. His father, the late Mr. Jacob Walter, was in his day on' 1 of the best and most influential citizens of our town. He was a blacksmith by trade, aud for many years, iu connec tion with present Mr. George Reiber, had a shop whero the present residence of Lev. Esq., uow stands. Their shop was, about 50 years ago, the principal one of the kind in town, having the custom of the Beatty stables, which then included the custom arising from the stage coach company and its horses. Mr. Jacob Wal ter died" as stated, in the year 1865, at the age of 50 years. In further reference to the late Mr. John Negley it may be stated that he was the first Treasurer of the county; its third Pro thonotary. 1817-1820; one of its earliest Representatives in the General Assembly of tho State, 1809, and twice afterwards in the same, 1821 and 1822, all matters of record. His charitable and benevolent nature, especially to the poor or needy, are matters also well known and spoken of often. He died August 11,1870, in the 93d year of his age. March 26, 1891. J. H. N.
