Pursuant to the call of Chairman Christ ley, the Republic"? Co. Committee met in Butler last Saturday afternoon, and the roll call showed some thirty members present After the usual preliminaries suoh as admitting substitutes, reading minutes of; last meeting, etc., D. B. Doutbett, Esq., moved that the Committee proceed to nominate a candidate for delegate to the Constitutional Convention, whioh motion was supported by Messrs. Jamison, Ander son, Mcßride, Criswell and Campbell and carried unanimously. It is not a good precedent but everybody is taking it for granted that there will be no constitutional convention, and the Committee did not feel like putting the party in the county to the trouble and expense of a primary for nothing. , Mr. J. B. Orbiaon then nominated P. W. Lowry, Esq., of Butler, for delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and no other being presented, he was unanimonsly nom inated. Chairman Chriatley stated that Butler county was the only county in the state with no local ticket, this year, ex cepting Jury Comm'r, and asked the sense of the Committee as to getting out the vote. Maj. Anderson suggested that each member of the Committee select an assist ant for eaeh school district, and these men be appointed by the Co. Chairman, aad this was discussed aad adopted. One man jest ingly suggested that the name of no man who does not vote for Jury Comm'r be placed in the Jury wbeel. Polling books ware distributed to the members of the Committee present. Mr. Stevenaon called for a report from the Congrawjonal Committee, and Mr. Douthett said the Committees were in the condition of the youg lady who was wait ing to be asked, and offered the following: "In view of the fact that Committees hare been appointed in each of the coon ties forming our Congressional district, and in order that they may meet and perform the duties of their appointment, we, the mem bers of the Republican Committee of But ler county, in oonvention assembled, invite the several committees to meet at the Lowry House, in Butler, on Oct. 16th, at 2 p. m.", which was adopted. The committee then adjourned. OUB State Senate meets next Tuesday, and it will have plenty of time to olean the "dirty stable" at Harrisburg before the election. Last winter, the alleged Repub lican member* of this body showed them selves completely subservient to the pres ent unprincipled and reckless party bosses. Now they have to deal with the results of the same system of politics that they approved of last winter, and it re mains to he seen whether the party in the State is to be farther humiliated, or an honest effort made to redeem it. Popular Vote Syetem. CoL J. W. Reisinger, of the Meadville Gazette, being called, upon relative to Crawford or popular vote system of making oounty and district nominations, respond ed as follows:—"The longer we work un der the popular vote system the better we like it Whatever may be said against popular vote nominations may be said with eqnal truth against popular vote elections. Several attempts were made years ago to repeal the "Crawford County System" in this oounty, and each time the system was sustained by a large majority. Its excellence appears most notable in our congressional district nominations, whioh are made by a mpjority vote of the dis trict. Our nominee is known as soon as the votes are oounted.and we have nothing for the diatrict conference to wrangle about Suoh proceeedings as disgraced the Meroer-Beaver district* last fall are impossible under our system." A STRANOB ease of duplex character is reported from Indiana. Rev. John Benson of that state is fifty years of age, of com manding presence, and when awake is regard jd aa a model olergyman; bat when asleep he gives uiteranoe to tho most shocking and unministerial profanity. If he falls asleep while traveling he uses language which compels the train em ployees to awaken him, and he is con stantly scandalliing those who are igno rant of his infirmity. OK the payment of tax as a qualification to vote, the Constitution says: "If twenty two years of age or upwards he shall have paid within two years a State or county tax, whioh shall have been assessed at least two months and paid at least one month before before the election." QVISBLIXO as to Gor. Pattison'S author ity to convene the Senate, or as to bis ac tion in doing so, under the circumstances, is not only pleading guilty but also showing a disposition to oover up matters. AT exactly six minutes past midnight of last Friday night, Mrs. Grover Cleveland was delivered of a girl baby of eight pounds woight at their home on Madison Ave. New York, and the fact was telegraphed all over the country. THB Pardon Board has commuted the sentence of Alex Killen, convicted of mur dering Mrs. Rudort of Tarentum, to im prisonment for life. THB U. S. Iron and Tin Manufacturing 00., Demmler, Pa., sent Gov. Campbell of Ohio, a present of a hundred pounds of their make of tin plate last week. THB New Tork Presbytery bus decided to put Prof. Briggs on trial for heresy. The Boodler Cases. At the September Sessions of Lawrence eotinty of last year the indictments against W. D. Wallace, Esq. of the Lawrence Comity Bar. for bribery, and Messrs Tate, Downing and Shaffer for receiving Uribes were ignored. An investigation followed and Judge McMichael orderod the cases to be again brought before the grand jury at December term, and appointed Attorney Gardner as a special prosecutor or Dis trict Attorney for these cases. The December Grand Jury returned true bills in all the cases, and they came up for trial the following week. Wallace's case was the first on the dock et and he was pat on trial. His attorneys were careful as to the selection of the jury and admission of evidence, and fought hard for him at every step. It was proved that "Wallace met the delegates at the time and place named, but when the delegates were placed on the stand and asked the question ' Did you receive money from W. D. Wallace for voting for Alexander Mc- Dowell f" or words to that effect, they re fused to answer on the grounds that their answers would criminate themselves. They were instructed by the Court that their answers could not be used agarns t themselves, but they presisted in their re fusals and were committed to jail by Judge Hasen for contempt of Court. Next morn ing they were brought into Court and again given an opportunity to answer, but they again refused to do so, and were com mitted to jail until the 2d Tuesday of March of this year—about three months— but they appealed to the Supreme Court and were released on bail until the Su preme Court decided the matter. This, the Supreme Court, has finally done though it took a long time to do it—and it has sustained the sentence of the Court bo low and has remanded tho prisoners to tho custody of the Sheriff of Lawrence county, where they will probably remain for the three months. Wallace was acquitted, presum ably by reason of this evidence not being given, but Tate, Downing and Shaffer havo not yet been tried—the Court having continu ed their cases until the Supreme Court de cided this case—and according to this de cison, as we see it, the four men will have to testify against each other, or be liable to commitment for contempt of Court. AT the meeting of the Republican Coun ty Committee of Armstrong county, in Kittanning, last Saturday afternoon M. F. Leason, Esq. was nominated for dele gate to the Constitutional Convention. Our County Committee has named P. W. Lowry, Esq. and the names of these two i gentlemen will form a separate ticket to he voted this fall by the Republicans of the 41st Senatorial district. tfo provision is made in the law regard ing the Constitutional Convention for the printing of the tickets, and as the "For" tickets will probably be supplied by the candidate* and those interested in having a convention, the thinf may possibly carry by reason of there being no "Against" tickets at the polls. This is a singular omission in the law, as singular as the provisions requiring the ballots to be sep arate, and yet have nothing on the outside indicating that they are ballots. Prospect Items. Revs. T. B. and D. L. Rotb, and X Scheffer, and laymen L. M., Davie, and John Roth, who were on a hunting tour on the Stine farm for a couple of weeks, have abandoned the camp for this season.

Georgo is just the fellow with whom to enjoy a good time. John Dave Albert and wife visited friends on Muddy Creek, last week. John says it is so seldom that he visits, he felt sure it would bring wet weather before this. Jo COSITY. "A FRAUD upon the ballot is a eriino against the Nation," so says Justice Stor ritt of the Supreme Court in his decision in the bribery cases. ALL England was astonished Wednes day to loam of the death of Chas. Stewart Parnell, and hints of suicide wero made, but investigation showed that Mr. Parnell had been in feeble health for some weeks and that his death was caused by fever. West Sunbury. West Sunbury is just as prosperous and enterprising as ever. The condition of its streets, the character and oxtent of its sidewalks with its gas illuminations make Sunbury one of the best towns, ontside of Butler, in the couuty. Our merchants have filled their stores and their many customers are made happy by the good bargains they are gotting in all the latest styles of goods.

Some of tbe students of tho Academy have been doing double duty for the last week or two in preparing for the "Old Folks Concert" to be given Oct. 15. This will be a rare treat well worth hearing. 8. Wli BN our State Senate meets next Tuesday it should remember that "Repub licanism was cradled in patriotism and purity," and act accordingly. Flick Items.

At the M. E. Conference in Unioctown. Thursday, Rev. J. T.

The question of admitting women as lay delegates was then voted upon, and the result was 45 for admission and 101 against. What was down as the Philadelphia resolution, for the equalizing lay minister ial delegates, was laid on the table. At Mercer last week Henry Trotter was acquitted of the charge ot murdering a man named Gleason ot Stoneboro. At Cniontown. last Saturday, Council man McCormack, at the head of a corps of men, ".girdled all the trees along.;Maiii street from the court house east before the property owners were up. An attempt was made to stop the work, but it was too late, as all the trees were "deadened." and could not live. The property owners, among who are the E wings, Bovles, Bubys and Judge Edward Campbell, now propose bringing suit against McCormack, and the case was given to Judge Campbell to pros ecute. McCormack is to be prosecuted individually for cutting the trees down without authority aud it is said will be prosecuted for irregularities in council. McCormack justifies his actions by the authority he claims councils invested in him to take away the trees. A big suit is looked tor. At Pittsburg, Friday, Michael Maloney was found guilty of murder the second degree, and Jos. E. Stewart, and John Tierney, both of whom are indicted for murdering their wives were placed on trial. A Vernon township school district over in Trumbull county, Ohio, has been dub bed "The Female Seminary" by reason of the dearth of boys among the tchollars.

Co., brought a whisky barrel which still contain ed a little whisky, to Lem Schruble's cider mill to be filled with eider, and after knocking out the bung to put cider in the barrel, a thought struck him to light a j match and stkk it iu the bungholo. He did so, and the barrel exploded making a noise like the report of a cannon. His face was terribly burned,his eyebrows and part of the hair of his head were badly scorch ed. A horse and buggy were procured and as soon as possible the injured man was taken to a doctor's office, where hip injuries were attended to. He is now get ting along as well as can be expected. The bank at Phillipsburg Centre Co., closed its doors Monday. Annie Fish, that remarkable romancer and subject of trances, has again been lo cated at Oil City, and, as usual, she has a pathetic tale to tell. Ou Saturday oho ap plied to the police of Oil City, for protect ion "until she found her sifter." She gave her name as Edna Wilmot, and said her her folks lived at Buffalo, but she had just came from Parkerspurg W. Ya. She was given employment at a hotel, but when closely questioned concerning her identity sac became guarded in her statements, and when night came she slipped away and disappeared. Two boys having escaped from Morgan za, the superintendent olTers a reward o! $lO for one and .I*l3 for both of them. This happy application of the "twofer" princi ple is recommended. The "Pennsy" is building a locomotive at Altoona, Pa., that will bo three times the ordinary length, and will be attended by two lireuien. It will haul a train of loaded freight cars a mile long. Mr Densel of Westmorland Co . owns a horse thiit in many respects is a valuable one, but he has one iailiug. He, it ap pears, through years of working, learned the signiiiance of the supper boll, and be coming used to having his driver at once sturt homo when the bell rang, he, appar ently, didn't like a change. Wednesday evening Mr. Hensel was drilling wheat, and had almost finished the field when the bell tang for supper. Tho distance to the house being rather long, Mr. Hensel, thought he would finish before going home but tho horse thought differently. I pon bearing tho bell ho stopped waiting to be unhitched. His owner tried to start hiui bnt all in vain. The lines became tangled and Mr. Hensel extracting them again, attempted to forco him to start. Tho aui inal stubbornly refused to go, but instead kicked his master on tho right leg, below the knee, cutttng a hole iu tho flesh anil making a compound factnre of tho bone.

His wife mourned him as dead and all these years remained a widow, and is still living at the old homo. A few days ago an old lady l>y the name of Stuuipl thought that she was about to die, and calling her friends about, her, she related to them the following story: '"At ttie time of the disappearence of John Mawhin • ny 1 kept boarding house at Scbenley. One evening two men, who are still living in Armstrong county, attacked Mawhanny ontsidj my door, dragged him inside and then murdnrcd him. Tho body was then dropped into a well on tho place."
