Republican County Ticket For Jarj CeMaUsaloser. WILLIAM R. PATTERSON. Harrisburg Notes. At the request of Gov. Pattison, Auditor General McCamant made an estimate of the receipts of the state for tho next two years; and his estimate for the year begin ning June 1, 1861, is $7,696,000, and for the year beginning June 1, 1892, $8,844,000. If this is anything near correct the Boyer bill will increase the revenues of the state but little over a million dollars; tho re venue for the two years will amount to six teen and a half millions, and Gov. Pattison will have to yeto about six and a half millions of appropriations to keep things square. Gov. Pattison is determined that Prof. Snyder of Indiana Pa., shall be State Snp't of the Public Schools, and will urge the settlement of the matter before the Supreme Court. He is said to be of the opinion that the schools of Pennsylvania arc lagging behind those of other states, and wants to begin reorganizing and improving at the top. There is a difference of opinion between State Treasurer Boyer and Auditor General McCamant as to the amount of revenue that will be raised by the new revenue bill, Mr. McCamant says the revenue will be in creased but #1,000,000 over the present amount, and Mr. Boyer says the increase will be over $3,000,000. On Monday the Governor signed the Boyer Tax bul, the act creating a State Banking Department, and other bills as follows. Permitting any person having a contingent interest in or a mortgage or judgment lien upon any real estate, and not being in possession of the same, to prosecute a nut at law equity to prevent waste upon the real estate and to recover damages for waste; making appropration ol *1,887 for balance due for witness fees and other expenses of the Osbourne-Devlin contest, whose trial cost over $4,000: To repeal the prohibitory law in Jefferson township, Allegheny county; to authorize Councils of all incorporated boroughs to widen and deepen streams and water courses, and to erect dykes and en bankments; requiring a permit to be se cured from the proper board of health to cremate human Dodies; providing for monthly returns and payments from col lecting of State, county and poor taxes; to prevent fraud in the sale of land; providing for receiving of bounties due soldiers for enlistment in the service of the late war; to authorize the Huntington reformatory to sell and convey real eatato in the vicini ty of the institution; providing that any corporation «3aall, notwithstanding any limitation upon the amount of its capital stock, by special or general law, have authority, with the consent of the persons holding the larger amount in value of its stock to enlarge the objects of its incorpora tion to the amount of $10,000,000 in the aggregate; appropriating SIO,OOO to com plete the publications of tho geological survey; appropriation $12,000 to pay cur rent expenses «f the State Board of Health providing for the formation of a commiss ion to present before Congress the claims of the citizens of the border counties for losses sustained during the war; appropria ting $3,500 for expenses, extending the jurisdiction of the courts in cases of divorce to women who may have left this State and intermarried with citizens of other States or foreign countries and been compelled, through cruelty or other causes, to abandon their husband; providing that the capital Ktock of street railway companies operat ing other than by animal power shall not exceed SIOO,OOO per mile of track, securing the right of sub-contractors to file mechan ics' liens and prevanting interference with this right of contracts; compelling county commissioners to furnish office and storage room for conuty school superintendents, and the same day vetoed the city smoke bill, mental disorder bill, two first-class . city bills, and • life insurence bill. On Tuesday, Gov. Pattison signed the "Wholesale and Retail Liquor License bills. The former increases the fee of liouor deal ers in cities of the first and second classes from SSOO to $1,000; fixes the rate in cities of the third class at $500; in other cities at S3OO, in boroughs at S2OO, and in townships at SIOO. Bottlers license is fixed at S3OO in cities, S2OO in borough, and SIOO in townships. The bill will increase the annual State revenues between $400,000 and $500,000. The Retail Liquor License bill, which makes the retail license rates the same as the wholesale rates provides that all license fees shall be paid into county, city,borough and township treasuries. Under the law, which the act approved amends, in cities of the first class four-fifths of the license fees were payable to the city; in cities of the second and third class two-fifths for the use of the cities and two-fifths for the use of the proper county; in all other cities or boroughs, three-fifths for the use of said cities or boroughs and ono-fifth for the use iff the proper county; in townships, one half for the use of the township, one-fourth fur the use of the proper county and one fourth for the use of the State. In all cities and boroughs the State received one lilt hof the fees. The change in the dis tribution of the fees will involve a loss of about $400,000 to the State, and will add to the county, borough and township fund. He also signed the following bills, which are now laws: To regulate the manner of increasing the indebtedness of municipalities to provide for itd redemption and to impose penalties for its illegal increase, amending sec tion 3 of the act relating to increase of in debtedness; amending an act to permit disabled soldiers to peddle by procuring a license without charge extending the privilege to all soldiers, sailors and mari ners who are nnable to ptocare a livlihood bv manual labor extending to any judicial sales and to help and oonvey the same tinder certain conditions; providing for the confirmation of certain titles to real estate relative to the conveyance of titles by aliens; amending the act relative to the Goverment of cities of the third class prohibiting miuing and manufacturing corporation from carrying $n stores known as company stores or general supply stores; authoriz ing the payment of all fines and penalties inpoaed Dy any alderman or magistrate to any regularly incorporated society for the prevention of cruelty to animals bringing suit or prosecuting the charge, and he vetoed the bills providing for a board for the revision of taxes; for the appointment of deputy register, authorizing the appro priation of burial grounds for school pur poses, and a number of Items in the Gen eral Appropriation bill. AT London, Tuesday, the Jury in the notorious bacarat trial, returned a verdict for the defendants, which brands Gordon- Cummings as a cheat, and will probably cause him to be dismissed from the army. SIR JOBS MACDOSALIJ, the Premier of Canada, died at Ottowa last Saturday. IT is reported from 'Washington that Don. Cameron is training for the Presi dency, with the idea of controlling the P< •nnsylvania delegation to the National Cou\ riitiou next year. Don. should be the caididata of the new party on a Free Sil ver, Free Whisky and Free Lying plat form.; The Producers' Organization. The oil producers have organized a com pany to transport, store, refine and market their production. It is strictly a business project, looking to the betterment of their interests. They believe that in the years past, tak ing into consideration the many and great risks of their occupation, they have not re ceived, in the distribution of profits arising from the oil business as a whole, their lair and just share. They have certainly a legal right to take this step. There is nothing in it to invite ridicule or condemnation. There is reason able probability the venture can be made successful; and. considering the situation it is surely worth the trial. It is envied to the favor of all who sym pathize with efforts at self-help; all who be lieve in commercial freedom, and hold that the fields of labor and trade should be open to every one to enter. It is even deserv ing of respectful treatment by that power ful company which to-day holds the issues of life and death of the oil producing busi ness in its hands. To be sure, this or ganization will have to run the gauntlet of the vicissitudes which all business enterprises encounter, and take its chances of success or failure as any other, but to no greater extent. No one can forecast the future. But here at the threshold of its existence, proper and commendable in its design, seriously and deliberately entered into by a large body of earnest and hopeful men, it appeals to the sense of justice and fair play every where for candid consideration. On every hand it deserves a good word and "God speed." It is conceived in no spirit of hostility to any one. It will be unfriendly to no inter est save incidentally in the way of legiti mate competition and fair bnsinoss rivalry. There is no resentful, malicious, vindictive feeling to be gratified. The sole purpose is to better and build up a depressed in dustry. Of course, the newspapers that are the recognized mouthpieces of the Standard Oil company, whose interests will be thought to be effected thereby, will see no good in this organization of the producers. They will see nothing but selfish motives in its promoters, and incapacity, in its managers. They will be full of pretended concern 1 for the welfare of the small producer, and the general investors in the company. And their columns will resound with wails ot dismal prophecy. They will labor in sidiously to foment jealousies, and prejudi ces, arouse envy, and sow the seeds of discord in the new company. But tho oil producers know who arc and who are not their friends. They are not children to be deceived or influenced by the artful arguments of their adversaries. And the outside public will have decern ment enough to realize the situation, and place the rightful value on such utter ances.—Warren, Pa. Mirror. AUDITOR General McCalmont has report ed that the accounts of all the other counties with the state are squared and that Brad sley's case stood alone. Decoration Day in Clinton Twp. Decoration Day was fittingly observed by G. A. R. Post No. 514, and the Citizens of the surrotiding country at Riddles X Roads, Clinton Twp. The good citizens and their ladies furnish ed a grand dinner, the quality of which could not be excelled, and the spirit in which it was served was. highly appreciat ed, and will ever be remembered by the large assembly of nearly six hundred persons from all directions—north-south east and west, including an area of at least five miles each way. The Jr. 0. U. A. M. from Sarversville were in attendence in uniform, and with a Martial band.wereome of the very pleasing features of the assembly, and a very large assembly of Sunday School Scholars an other. "While the ladies were arranging the table of good things for dinner the v»rion« cemetries were visited by committees of the G. A. R. and friends of deceased soldiers and their graves strewn with flowers, and then the rich, and greatly enjoyed dinner was partaken of by nearly six hundred persons; after which the pro cession was formed. The Sabbath School of about two hundred cbilJren led by Revs. Melhorn, Tannahill and D. Cupps, came first and next in order the Jr. O. U. A. M., followed by G. A. R. Post 514 and by citizens, ladies and gentle men perhaps one hundred and fifty or more, making a very large procession. Stepping to the Music of the Martial baud, under the American flag, marching to the eemetry of Westminster Church. After the Ritual Memorial Service and decoration of graves of fallen Heroes, wo all entered the church,a large one, yet not sufficient to seat all,but all were seemingly comfortable and attentive to the fitting songs and orations. Rev. D. Cupps was invited by tho Post to make the opening speoch and conduct tho ceremonies; Rev. Tannahill was re quesed to open with prayer, after which Post commander A. Kratz called upon Rev. D. Cupp» to make an address,which was a brief and fitting one for the oc casion. Rev. Melhorn, who has the power to attract and interest and instruct, to a great degree was the next speaker and he was followed by Rev. Tannahill in a short and instructive speech. After which a young gentleman of Jr. O. U. A. M. by name of White made a short adress, very entertaining and much enjoyed. As we were about to close and the rain was falling heavy it was suggested to re main, and we song the good old song "My county 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty" followed by romarks from Mr. Wm. Lardin, aged 84 years. M. N. Greer was called upon, but tho rain slackened and as it was drawing to ward 4 o'clock, he excused himself. Mr. Alvin Katz the Post commander and tho officers, Esq. Cunningham and all the com rades of the G. A. R. soWicrs and citizens were active for the success of tho occasion and although it cost labor to prepare for the day feel amply rewarded by the great interest and the appreciation manifested by all the citizens, ami their action and interest shall never be forgotten by the old soldiers. The old soldiers feel that the flag of our country is truly honored and the union will be securo if every locality displays so much patriotism as was shown in Clinton township. May she live long to continue her good wook, and God bless the good ladies, who will always have the soldiers' kindest regard. O.nh PKKSE.NT.

A remarkable instance in which the in- j vention of a valuable patent is claimed by several people is a case now in course ol litigation in the United States circuit coart in Pittsburg. In 18S0. J. B. Ford.the ere sent head of the well known Ford plate glass ; company operatedja -mall plateglas-factory at Jeffersonville, Ind . just across the river | from Louisville. Ky. Captain James liarlill was superintendent of the factory. The allegations in the ease are that at that time there were only two known methods of polishing glass." The one wa- by a polisher working on a beam in a straight line. This developed a line ofheat transversely across the plate under the operation and the result was that many plates wore broken. The secoud method was by a polisher on a beam having a peculiar oval oscillation. This overcome the trouble with the breakage of glass by the development of a line ofheat. but no automatic way could be devised to prevent the plate? of glas- from being knocked off the machine and broken. By each of these methods a man was required to be pre.-ent at each machine and it took from seventeen to twenty hours to poli-h a plate and sometimes longer. Because ot these slow and costly methods of polishing and the price of labor, Mr. Ford was not able to compete with imported plate glass and the lactory was closed. In Cap tain llarlin took out a patent on a machine for polishing glass which overcame the ditli culties of the former methods. In captain Harlin's machine the oval oscillating mo tioa is preserved, but instead of one beam and polisher there are two beams and two polishers. These work at the same time in opposite directions. This arrangement pre vents the plates lrom being knocked off the rotary table and does in tour hours the work to do which seventeen to twenty hours were required. Besides this, the machine works automatically and fifty men can do as much work as olM) could by the old meth ods. It is alleged that this pat«nt revolu tionized the plate glass industry and made it possil V t'i ii'ftko plate glass at, a profit in tL.ii coantrv while competing in the open n vkr 1 with the imported articles. J. B. Fort! ia.i liately saw the value of the invention a:. 1 took hold of it. It is alleged that this machine made it possi ble for the Fords to build and operate suc- their large factory at Creighton and Tarentum, and that had it not been for his machine these factories would nev er have been built. Strange to say Cap tain Harlin claims to have received no profit from his patent though other people have made several fortunes ont of it. Two years ago ho employed the A ttorneys Sf hov er, who entered suit for him against the Pittsburg plate glass copany, which i-> operated by the Fords and the Standard plate glass company,of Butlei Pa,for dam ages for infringement of his patents. Re eentlv a commissioner was appointed by the United States conrt to take testimony in the case. Both the defendents are fighting bitterly against Captain Harlen's claim. In the testimony thus far taken Kdward Ford, a man named Sweeney and another named Sleeper claim to have in vented the improved polisher. It is also claimed that the machine is not patentable, because the oval oscillation motion was used for along time, and that all Captain Harlin did was to put two beams 011 the nachine instead of one. If Captain Harlen is successful in his suit, and he appears to have the whip handle of the case, he will collect about half a million from the two defendant companies. This suit is a test one, and if it proves successful similar suits will be entered against other firms that have been using the patents, so that the ownership of probably over a million of money depends on the result of Captain Harlen's suit. — Ex. Change Demanded The Butler Republicans, at their late County Convention, depreciated the pres ent delegate system of nominating Con gressmen andStatoSenators.and demanded the popnlar vote system, and call upon the other counties of the district to move in the same direction. After the experience we have had under the present delegate system, almost any other that could be thought of would be preferable. As this county has had the popular vote plan in its county nominations for years past, its ap plication to Congressional aud Senatorial nominations, would be simple, easy and natural. We apprehend there will be little or no opposition to such change in this county. Beaver Times. Tin Wedding. "Mr. ami Mr . George Uines, of Slijperyrock township,celebrated the tenth anniversary of their marriage 011 Tuesday last, June 2nd. They live on the old homestead of William Mines, about three miles south of Centerville. About 9 o'clock the friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Hines began to arrive and judging from the well filled baskets ol provision which they brought with them, they intended to stay a day or two. The time was sp«>nt in friendly 'chat' until dinner was ready. The invitation to dinner was promptly respond ed to and the table wa* soon relieved of part of the weight which it sustained. Mole than two hundred people partook. After grace was said all eyes were turned to ward the bride and groom. The bride succeeded in cutting her cake, but the groom failed to make any impression on his and gave up the attempt amid the laughter of the guests. It was a tin cake made to keep till he got a silver one. After dinner the time was spent as usual on such oc casions. When the afternoon was well spent, Mr. 0. N. Cooper called the people to order and nominated Mr. A. G. Black for President. On taking the chair Mr. Black made a few appropriate remark and introduced Rev. J. L. Cotton of the Presbyterian Church of Centerville. lie made a few well chosen remarks and concluded by presenting it number of tine gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Mines. Rev. J. C. Womer of the M. E. Church oi Harlansburg in his usual modest manner, responded in bchalt of the recipient.-. A fine rocking, chair, a large lamp, anil an agate tea-pot were among the numerous gifts presented. After the benediction by Rev. Cotton the meeting adjouraed and all returned to their homes well pleased with the occasion." OXK WHO WAS TIIEUI:. Eloped to Butler. The Pittsburg Tiwirs of last Monday told the following story. Lawreaceville is all agog over an elopement story which has on it elements of the ludicrous as well as of the romantic. Last Monday forenoon Miss Nellie Joyce, daughter of John. J. Joyce, a well known ex-grocer and politician of the district, left her home at 321 Forty-third strict, in company with Richard Kelly, on employe of the Black Diamond Steel Work*. Kelly had hired a buggy, and stated that he was going to take Miss Joyce to Sch mle.y Park. Instead of doing so, this pair drove to Allegheny tind took a Pitt»l>urg and Western train for Butler. They were under the impress ion that they could be married if they left Allegheny county, although Miss Joycs was only 1U years ot age. Their hopes were da.shed to the ground, however when all the Catholic clergymen and atl the justices in Butler refused to tie the nuptial knot withont the consent of Miss Joyce,s parents Kelly left his lady-love at a hotel while he went forth to (ind a means to get wedded. When alone Miss Joyce conscience began to twit her, and she J cut the following telegram to her father: "Ran away Dick. Am very sorry. Please conic and take me home. ,; 0n receipt of the telegram Mr. Joyce at once started for Butler, when he arrived late Monday night. Meanwhile "Dick" returned to the hotel, and Miss Joyce had experienced a renewal of affection. The result was that, when the angry parent reached Butler he found not the penitent child he looked for, but two very resolute young people, who de clared their intention of getting married or dying together. Mr. Joyce' finding that argument was wasted, yielded like a sensi ble man to the inevitable. On Tuesday morning ho gave his consent to the wed ding and the blushing Xcllie was united to her Dick iu St Mary's Church. Sand Bagged and Robbed John Cubbagc, who resides just on the edge ol Butler county, came to Tarentum last Saturday{t'«». NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.

The company this year ha- used new illus tration printed on a very high grade of paper,'while a decided departure from the old cover heretofore binding the work is seen in the new one, which is beautifully illuminated, and would do crdit to the brush of a Kossi, so cleverly French is it in every detail. The new map embraces a territory from Canada to the Carolina-, and from the British possession of New Ilruns wick to beyond the Great Inland I.ake<.
