Form of Ballots.
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. W.

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.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
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

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

Tierney got 12 and 10 years each for kill
ing their wives by throwing burning lamps
at them. Snakes Anderson a burglar, got

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<o with an alacrity never witness
ed in this neck of the woods. Had the
ceiling been higher, he would have added
at least eight feet to his juiup. His yell
broke several panes of gla?s in the win
dows and tore off a considerable part of the
roof. His language was warm, in fact
blistering, aud the adjectives he used wero
all of the superlative degree. A few buck
ets of water extinguished the fire, after
which Cy and Jess departed for their
homes, pondering deeply aud trj'ing to re
member all the circumstances of the case.
The doctor thinks that in a couple ol
weeks it will not be necessary lor John to
eat off the maatel.
A fortune of $240,000 has been bestowed
upon Mrs. Asa R. Wood, the widow ol a

Mr. Jasper mot the lady two years ago iu
Washington, and since then there has been
a steady correspondence between them.
At Pittsburg, Wednesday, the Hogans
were acquitted of murder, and Michael
Shaffer was put on trial for killing Pat
Finan.
A lot of Westmorland county farmers
were swindled by a couple of chaps who
cauvassod tho county selling fertilizers.
The sellers »vere not anxious for their
money, and kindly took notes which they
promptly sold, and left the country. The
fertilizers came to hand all right, but were
utterly worthless. The only safe way is to
purchase from home dealers.
The Johnstown Democrat says that there
was a very unpleasant little "scrap" in the
ladies' waiting room at tho Court house in
Ebensbnrg on Monday afternoon. Two
women who wero contestants in a petid
ng lawsuit got into an altercation over the
truthfulness of one another's statements
and in the twiukle of nu eye the fur Hew.

Bo anion of Brother and Sister bfl

After a Separation of Twenty-Fta*'
\>ars Thrr Are Broofht To
gether In a Miraculous
Manner.

h<> T .v;;tli: ugh with his telephone &
few days ago. The patient young wom
an in thi main cnioe on Washington
strict
Are you through?" until she was tired.
Then she broke the connection of 5.094
with a North side wire. She might
have asked all dav ami rung all night
without a r ■ ... {■. r W. W. 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..
Twenty-live years is a long time, ana,
brother and sister had much to say t<i'
each other. Rut In a few hours ho
took her home with him to live and the
grief of the past separation was forgot
ten in the loy of the present meeting, j
Miss Wheeler has lived hero si* yearji|
and her brother sevon, but neither had;
ever suspected the presence of the!
other. After twenty-five years the'
piuch abused telephone brought them';
together. The instrument has its usei
