Many inquiries are being made as to bow many ballots are to be voted at the election on Nov. 3d. The Aot of Assembly provid ing for a rote on the question of a Consti tutional Convention not being generally known throughout the county, we deem it proper to state for the information of the voters of Bntler county that there will be five separate ballots to be voted at the coming election, as follows: Ist. A ballot oontaining the names of candidates for Aoditor General and State Treasurer, headed "State." 2d. A ballot "For" or "Against" a Con stitutional Convention. 3d. A ballot oontaining the names of the candidates for "Delegates-at-Large" to the proposed Convention. 4th. A ballot oontaining the names of candidates for ' District Delegates" to the proposed Convention. sth. A ballot containing the name of candidate for Jnry Commissioner, headed "County." Each of the above ballots must bo folded separately. Each voter can vote for no more than eighteen candidates for Dele gates-at-Large and no more than two candi dates for District Delegates to the propos ed Convention. The Act of Assembly provides that any ballot containing a greater number of names than therein pro vided for, shall be rejected. Ovgß in Ohio where there is no disgust ing local rottenes.4 to mar the campaign, the contest between MoKinley and Camp bell has become of National importance and interest. At Ada, last Thursday, the two men spoke from the same pUtform in joint de bate—McKinley for an honest dollar and industries, and Campbell for not much of anything, though be predicted ter rible things. The Democratic orators are yammering about the ohange made by the McKinley bill in the duty on tin, but as it has been proved that the ore is in eur bills, and also that protection develops and builds up an industry, if the raw material can be bad in the country, we see no senso in their argu ments; and an objection to thW trifling duty, whioh nobody notices, comes with poor grace from a party that insisted upon keeping the duty on raw sugar for half a century—a duty that benefitted nobody but a handfull of sugar planters, did not increase the production and could not do so from natural censes, and was the most burdensome duty ever imposed npon the Nation. Special Correepondenee, Phila. Oct- 13. It is learned from a reliable souroe that the the Democratic Btate Committee intends to inaugurate a mad-slinging campaign. Beginning this week it is proposed to circulate thousands of copies of the New Tork World and the New York Bvening Post which will be filled with slanderous attacks upon the Rupublican candidates. This plan of cam paign has just been decided upon at a con ference in this oity, of Democratic bosses, at the inspiration who has already enlisted the same newspaper influences against that estimable gentleman, George D. McCreary, the Republican candidate for City Treasur er. Knowing that not a single newspaper in this city would say; one word against Mr. McCreary, who is a well known hast iness man, and whose reputation as a phil anthropist is known throughout the Btate, the Democratic leaders have gono to New Tork, from which point they have started in with their assaults. The same tactics are to be resorted to in this State. The Democratic papers throughout the Com monwealth are expected to reproduce the slanders originated by the New York journals. The campaign of vilification of of mud-slingers is all ready for launching; bnt it is believed that with knowledge ot the source from whieh they emanate, the people will folly know bow to estimate their value.

HARRISBURG. On Monday Gov. Pattison issued a proc lamation requiring the Senate at their session to begin next day. to consider whether or not "reasonable cause" exists for the removal of any of the Magistrates of the City of Philadelphia, for corrupt management of their offices, and naming a do*en accused of fraud in the collection of taxes. The Legislative Investigating Committee appointed Messrs. Flynn, Fowand Stewart to prepare their report. THE EXTRA SESSIOS. At noon of Tuesday Lieut. Governor Watres rapped the Senate to order and an nounced that "Pursuant to a proclamation by the Governor, the Senate of Pennsylva nia has been assembled in Extraordinary session and will now come to order, and all the Senators took their seats, except ing four, one of whom. Senator Mehard, is dangerously ill at hi* home in Wampuiu. The doors were closed, a prayer was offer ed, and the Clerk read the Goyernor's two proclamations. Then a commmittee of two Senators was was appointed to inform the Governor that the Senate was in session, and in a short time the Governor's private secretary- ap peared and presented the Governor's com munication to the President of the Senate and it was handed to the Clerk and read to the Senate. The Governor's message begins by re ferring to his constitutional powers and those of the Senate, and then reviews the oircamstances leading to his call for the extra session— i.e. Bardsley's resignation as City Treasurer of Philadelphia, the dis oovery of his defalcation, his arrest and conviction, the memoranda found in his books and in the stubs of his check books regarding money paid the Auditor General and State Treasurer, the return letters of thanks for favors; the rebates paid by the Philadelphia papers; the irregularities in the collection of the different taxes in Philadel phia, and also on tho part of the Auditor General and State Treasurer in allowing the money to remain in Bardsloy's keep ing; quotes the act of May 7, 1889, requir ing quarterly returns; the testimony of the Auditor General and State Treasurer be fore the Legislative Committee, and closes as follows: I submit this summary of the facts touching the administration of these two departments,* admitted and testified to by their chief officers before a joint cooi mitte of the Legislature, in order that the Senate may determine the action appro priate in the premises. I regret the necessity which has risen to summon you from your homes and accus tomed avocations to this extraordinary ses sion. I have awaited the resort to and the exhaustion of the processes of the criminal laws. Their fustratioa has only intensified the righteous demand of the people that their servants, sworn to obey and enforce the laws and to protect and defend the interests of the Commonwealth, shall an swer for neglect of duty or complicity in crime. The responsibility of determining whether reasonable cause exists for the removal of them rests with you. The pub lic expects that it will be met and dis charged without regard to partisan advan tage or detriment, au with a single concern for the good name and honor of the Com monwealth. I invoke for yonr session that deliberation of counsel joined with prompt dispatch of public business, which ev-jry requirement of the occasion demands. The message was a long one and well put together, and it goes over tho case ftil ly, though nothing especially new is brought out. Five hundred copies of it were ordered printed. At the instance of Senator Gobin, a com mittee of seven was then appointed to pre pare and repcrt rules of procedure, there being no precedent for this session to fal low, and the Senate adjourned till next day." Tne procedure committtee which con sists ofGobin, Thompson, Brady and Pack er Reps, and Koss, Sloan, and McDonald. Dem's, went that afternoon and could not agree, the Republicans arguing that the Senate should conduct the investigation, and the Democrats that the Governor should do so. The Senate met Monday afternoon, oud Senator Gobin, Chairman of the Commit tee of Procedure, at once presented their report. After declaring that the investi gation shall be conducted in open session; that all officers and employes . shall serve and perform the same duties as in regular session, and that the joarnals shall contain a record of all questions of law or proced ure and the decision thereon, it further specifies: All persons oharged with misbehavior in office named in the proclamation and mes sage of the Governor of the Commonwealth, shall be notiffed by the Snrgant-at-Arms that the Senate is dnly organized and will proceed at once to make diligent inquiry into the charges preferred against them, that they attend in person, or by counsel, and be heard. All notices are to.be prepared by tho chief clerk and signed by tlie President protem, of the Senate, service to be made personally or by leaving an attested copy thereof at the last known residence. The Attorney General of the Common wealth shall be requested by the President pro tern, to attend and assist the Senate in conducting the investigations. All questions involving tho admissibil ity or rejection of testimony and evidence shall be argued by. counsel not longer than fire'minutes] on each side, and any Senator, after the ruling of the Chair, may object to Bnch ruling, and the questions will then be referred to the Senate, and upon a vote of a majority of tlie Senators present adverse to the ruling of the Chair, the decision shall be reversed. Absence of counsel, or failure of wit nesses to appear, will constitute no groui:d for oontinuance or delay. The report is signod by all the members of the committee. Senator Grady uffeied aj preamble uud resolution setting forth that the Governor's message had named District Attorney Graham. Mayor Stuart, William Van lis ten and F. B. Reeves, of Philadelphia, as having offered to furnish all the evidence in their possession beariug on the subject of the present inquiry, aud ordering that they be subpoumed to appear before the Senate]at 4,p. m., on Monday, October 19, to present such evidence and furnish the names of all persons having knowledge of he mattets in hearing. The resolution was adopted and it was ordered that State Treasurer Boyer and Auditor General McCamant be summoned to appear for examination. Senators McCreary, Robinson aud Lloyd were appointed a committee to inquire as to how the necessary funds for the service of subpoenas, expenses of witnesses aud the printing of tbo journal wore to bo ob tained, and after fixing the hour of meet ing each day at 10 a. n>., the Senate ad journed, having been in session but half an hour. Messrs. Boyor and McCamant at once notified tbe president pro tern, that they would waive all service upon thorn, and would appear next day with their counsel, Messrs. It. E. Shapley, R. C. Dale, Lyman D. Gilbert and Judge Oryis. "LAUD BILL" ALLIEN, known all over tbe country 50 years ago, when ho began his agitation of the homestead law, was last week taken to the Franklin county (Ohio) infirmary.

At the Bnrjettstown Fair, last week. »! man fouad a bottle of whisky in a fence corner; gave some boys a drink and drank j himself. All were made sick, and the i man died. Kittanningites are tickled to death over their new tin and sheet iron mill, which is to be located oa the Orr farm, about a mile north of the town. Tired of footing the bill for repairing his gate after lovers ol his daughters had ; swung on it, a Westmoreland couaty man ; near Irwin, has arranged a slot upon it j with this device thereon to help him out: . "Drop a niekle in th<: slot, and a girl will | come out." The real estate of James S. Ilagerty. j dec'd, in Kmlenton will be sold at Execu- ! tors sale on the premises to-morrow. The body of an unknown man was found ' in Peart * Eddy, of the Allegheny river, a few davs ago. He was of dark complexion j and was smallpox marked. At Beaver Falls some wicked neighbors j put crape on a dressmaker's door, and i built a fence around it. On Saturday last several murderers aud ■ burglars wero sentenced by the Allegheny j Co., Courts a.i follows—Judge Schlaglo, sentenced C. M. Clark for two years to the penitentiary for being accessory to the Gilkinson murder; and Mrs. Clark, who was Fitzsimmon's pot to three years; Michael ilaloney got 12 years for killing A. L. Heed; and J ante Stewart and John Tierney got 12 and 10 years each for kill ing their wives by throwing burning lamps at them. Snakes Anderson a burglar, got 10 years. Several more murder cases are on the list for this week. Two old friends of Manor, Pa..are on the outs and don't speak. A few days ago John Kunkle was taken with a severe cold. Some one advised him to take an alcohol sweat. The way that is given is to place a saucer containing some alcohol under a chair, then let the patient undress, and drawing a blanket around him, sit down in the chair, spreading the blanket, so it will envelop his entire person as well as the chair, and then have some one set the al cohol on fire. In a few minutes a copious perspiration will set in which will relieve the cold. John resolved to try it and Cy. Zimmerman offered to boss the job, assist ed by Jess Kistlei. At the last moment they discovered they had no alcohol. Cy. declared that carbon oil would do just as well and, pouring about a pint in a tin pan, placed it.under John, who, divested of his clothing, sat enveloped iu a heavy blanket on the chair. Cy. touched a match to the oil and the next instant John was «een to ri' as follows: Maggie, Leola anil Imelda Fleming, Bertha and Muude Harbison, Emma Westertnaii, Enlu Pinches, Maude ard Bella Sarver, Nora Ekas, Francis and Carl Harbison, Ray mond ad Elmer Wester man, Arthur Klliott.

Wheeler had gone out of his office at a bound, leaving the receiver alongside the box. and was even then lashing his galloping horse down Clinton street. A strnnsfe thing- had come to pass. The telephone, having- broken up families end made enemies of friends and turne4 father against son. had finally repented the evil of its ways and brought to gether a brother and sister lost to each other for five and twenty years. Long ago. says the Chicago Post, the Wheelers lived in Canada, a happy and contented family. There were the fa ther and mother and two children, Wil liam and Helen. Mrs. "Wheeler died, and her husband, after a time, married a second wife. The marriage, like too many others of its kinil, did not result happily. The second Mrs. Wheeler and the children were not congenial, and so it came about that twenty-five years ago this fall the boy, William W. Wheeler, left his homo and struck out for himself. His family made inquiries for him. but these came to nothing, and gradually the search was given up and the boy drifted out of the remembrance of nil his relatives but one. His sister Helen never forgot him and neve* ceased to love him. Five years later it seemed best for her also to look ont fof herself tyid to leave the home of her childhood. This she did, and for a time lived with friends in Canada. As the years went by she was more and more attracted to the United- States and finally came here to live. Six yeari ago she reached Chicago and became a contented inmate of the home of Wil liam D. Kerfoot, the wealthy real cstatrf man and world's fair director. At that time she had not heard from her brother for nineteen years, but woman like, nhe never forgot him- The years came and went, but sh« kept his memory green and waited patiently but never despairingly foi the day to arrive when they should meet. Recently Miss Wheeler was idling away the time at Mr. Ker foot's home, and, entirely by chance ad it seemed, her hand rested upon the telephone book which lay upon a tabu at her side. Was it chance? Bid her hand fall by pure accident upon the ▼oluiac? Miss Wheeler cannot thiak so. She opened the book and careless ly looked over the list of names. After a time curiosity prompted her to look at the telephone subscribers who bore lier own name. She listlessly turned the pages until she came to the Wheel ers, and her attention was riveted upon the following iiucs: 6,o!H—Wheeler, W. \V., rock, asphalt and cfoicnt paver, 11-13 south Clinton street. It was her brother's name! She started at the sight of the familiar initials, and the* laughed at her own foolishness. This man couldn't be her brother. Meet ings like this were not possible outsido of novels. But the name brought memories, and she sat with the open telephone book in her lap and thought of the old home in Canada. W. W. Wheeler, telephone 5,09*1 "I will call that man up to-morrow," she said. She was up very early Monday morning and; moving impatiently about the house.' When she thought It was time for a busi ness man to be in his office she rang and called up 5,004. "Hello!" "Hello!" "Is this Mr. Wheeler?" "Yes." "Did you ever live in Canada?" "Yes. A good many years ago." "What was your father's name?" He gave it, and in response to a sim ilar question about his mother gave her' name. Then there was a pause, and presently a voice trembling with emo tion was heard over the wire: "Did you liavo a sister named Helen?" Quick as a flash the answer came back: "Yes! My God! Are you Helen?" "I am Helen." Mr. Wheeler flung down the receiver after learning her address and jumped for his hat. Running to his buggy,; which stood just outside the door, he leaped into it and lashed the horse into a gallop, l'eoplo who saw him thought he was crazy. He stood upright, flog-" ?:ing the animal with mad blows. In ust twenty minutes after he had beeri rung up ou the telephone he was at Mr. Kcrfoot'sdoor and his sister Helen was, hi his arms. He could hardly wait fof satisfactory arrangements to be made..
