building, in Butler, on Monday, April 20,
1891, at 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of
fixing a date for the holding of the Repub

- the meeting of the Republican Coun

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.

Harrisburg Notes.
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.

Recollection* of Butler; or Fifty Years
Ago.
(CM(iiiw4.)
CmXIKOHAX-KIGLKT MILL.
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
