AT the meeting of the Congressional
delegates in New Castle, on Wednesday of
last week, Butler County was represented
by H.H. Gouoher Esq. alone, as the other
two delegates for this county did not pnt
in an appearanoe.
Mr. Sword of Lawrenoe Co. presided; a
motion to adopt the popular vote system
was tabled, the proportionate delegate
system was discussed, bat no conclusion
was arrived at, and the convention ad"
jon rued to meet on Wednesday, Jan. Gtb,
at 1.30 P. M. at the Fountain House in
New Castle.
One ofthe delegates of Mercer Co.,andonc 1
from Beaver Co., expressed themselves in
favor ofthe .popular vote system, but the
other four delegates of those counties, and
all of those of Lawrenoe Co. wore solidly
against it, though none of them preseuted
any well matured substitute for it. And
there is no substitute for the popular vote,
eithor for nominations or elections. It is
cheaper both in time and money; it does
away- with the go-betweens commonly
called politicians, it makes tho candidate
the direct creature of the popular will, and
it is the only fair method of making all
nominations within the lines of any State
in the Union.
THB Jury wheel will be filled this month
for next year's Juries; and men who have
never been on the Jnry, or who have ]
not been on for years, should send their
nam-M and P. 0. address to some one here ,
that they know, and who knows them, im ,
mediately. Every now and thin we hear j
of responsible and respected citizens of ,
thi3 county, well up in years whose name* ,
have never been in tho Jury wheel; wiiilu
on tho other hand there ate a lot of loafers ,
all over the county who 3u'.is a business ,
of getting their naaiw in tin wheel aa ,
often as the law allows. ,

Michigan is misunderstood by many be
cause of the peculiar attitude in which she
is placed by the adoption of the district
system of the choice of Electors by the
last Legislature. A law was enacted in that
State requiring Presidential Electors to be
chosen by Congressional districts, except
the Senatorial Blootors The law was test
ed in the Suprome Court of the State and
its constitutionality affirmed. New Con
gressional were formed. And no
matter how that State hereafter goes for
President the Electoral Delegation will
probably be divided.
AT New York last Friday, a craay man
entered the office of Russel B?ge, the mil
lionare.and demanded of him a large sum
of money,.and upon being refased dropped
his satchel, whieh contained nitro-glycer
ine upon' the floor. The explosion that
follow**!' annihilated the man, killed a
broker who stood near him, wounded Mr.
Sage and others, wrecked the furniture
in the room, and injared the inside walls
of the building. ■

MEETING OF CONGRESS.
Congress met Monday noon, but the
preliminary contest for the Speakership "i
the House began on the previous Saturday
at 2 p.m. when tho Democratic member
to the number of 227 met in tho Hail ofthe
House and, with Air. Holuiun presiding
proceeded to ballot for the party nomin.»
tion which, in this case, was equivalent to
election.
Messrs Crisp of Georgia, Mills of Texas
Springer of Illinois, McMillen of Tennes
see and Hatch of Missouri were placed ir
nomination, and the first ballot resulted as
follows: Crisp 84, Mills <B, Springer 32,
McMilliac 18, natch 14, Stephens 1, total
227, necessary to nominate 114
They continued to ballot till long aft .
supper tin#, the 17th and last ballot stand
ing Crisp 94, Mills 91, McMillen 19, Splin
ter 17, Hatch 5, and Stephens 1 and then
atQUwmed till 10 o'clock of Monday mo:"' -
ing. —-
At 10 o'clock of Monday niorniu? the
Democratic members aga:nmet in the He.:
ofthe House, with 212 members present
and proceeded to ballot for the nouiir.atio.
for Speaker, and kept it up till noon * ith
Tery little change in the result.
At noon the doors were opened and th
Republicans ontered, the old Clerk call?-'
the roll and announced 326 members as be
ing present, and then on motion of Mr
Holmau, the House adjourned till noon o
next day; the Republicans left, and th
hostile Democratic factions got to work
again.
Ballot aftor ballot wa? taken and no
change was made of any importance nnti:
toward 9 p.m. when Mr. McMillen with
drew. His followers divided their vote
between Crisp and Mills, he himself votinp
for Mills.
As the 30th and last ballot was being
taken Mr. Springer withdrew and voted
tor Crisp. Some of his followers also vot
ed for Crisp, bringing that gentleman
vote up to 119 and electing him. Mil's
vote was 105.
Crisp isoneof the members from Georgis
and he is not as radical a freetrader as i.-
Mills of Texas, who delights in styling
himself "a freetrader from Freetrader
ville."
The caucus then selected James Kerr o
Pennsylvania for Clerk; C. 11. Turner o
New York for doorkeeper; S. S. Oder o
Ohio for Sergeanl-at-Arm*; L G. Dalti
of Indiana for Postmaster, and Dr. Mil
burn for Chaplain.
The Senate also met at noon with the
Vice President in the chair.
There were seventeen now Senators to
be sworn in, and they were called no ii
groups. When the credent ills of Mr
Price of Ohio were read. Sena! or Sherm .
said; "Before the oath of office is adminis
tered to Mr. Brice I desire to say that .
large portion of the citizens of Ohio conter.'j
than ho was not an inhabitant of that statf
at the time of hii election, and was the:c
fore not eligible to a seal in that hotly. O?
examining the proced3nt.-, of vrlo'ch there
ara several in the history of this gover"
rcent, and sorco of them most important, J
am perfectly satisfied that Mr. Biice is en
titled to be sworn in on the prima facie
case of his credentials, which are regular ir
form. I simply give this notice, however
so his being sworn may not bo considers
any waver or any misapprehontion or mis
construction, if the people or legislature o
Ohio should assert and prove to the satis
faction of the Senate that Mr. Brice w«
not at the time ofhiselection sn inhabit;,
of Ohio. I think that this statement iV.
me is proper and necessary. But I make m
objection to the swearing in of Mr. Brice. "
A Committee was appoints;! to act wi:
that of the House in notifying the Presiden
of Congress being rea l.',' for business, am
the Senate adjourned till the next. day.
On Tuesday the organisation of t'.
House was completed. It mot at nooa
Messrs Crisp, Iteed and WaUon wen
placed in nomination for Speaker and
Crisp received 228 votes, Reed 83 and Wet
son 8; Crisp was declared elected and wa.-
escorted to the chair by Messrs. Mills am
Reed. The other officers earned by th-
Democratic caucus were also elected.
Mr. Mills took a seat in the back pari o
the House and is aaotjsed of sulking. He
refused a place on th« Oouimlttcn to waL
npon the President. The Hou->e indulgen
in the usual lottery for seats and then ad
journed.
The Senate met and considered the cas
of Call of Florida, and Dubois of Idaho,
and seated them as Senators, and waitci
for the President's Message nnlil apprise
of the fact that it would not be forthcom
ing till next day, whet; it adjourned.
Congress met Wednesday noon and th
only business of importance transacted ii
either branch wa.» the reading of the Piv
ident's Message. The House Committee
have not yet been appointed.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
William Stutsman, a young man from
Jackson Center. Mercer cennty, went to
bed at the Leslie House, New Castle on
the night of tho 2t3th ult., after blowing
out the gas. The oder of escaping gas was
detected by John W. Knox in the hallway.
Ho called the porter, the door WA* forced,
and Stutsman was recusciated.
John Dougherty, an oil well driller re
siding in Green county, died last week
from puenmonia. Mr. Dougherty was a
Democrat and made a bet with a Re
publican that Campbell would defeat Mc-
Kinlev for Governor of Ohio. The loser was
to olimb to the top of an oil derrick,
feet high, aud remain there from G a.m. to
OP.M mounted the derrick
Saturday morning, the 21st ult , and, al
though the rain poured down all day, be
did not flinch. When he came down at
r.ight he was cramped and weak. On the
following day violent pueumonia, brought
j on by tiie exposure, set in and his death
I resulted.
A terrible accident happened at Latrobe
last Monday, by which Harry and Edith,
children of Marshal Wianer, will in all
probability lose th«ir lives. They were
playing in the kitchen when one of the legs
of the stove was knocked out and the stova
fell over. Two kettles of boiling water fell
npon tho children, aud they were so severe
ly scalded that fears are entertained that
I they cannot recover. The boy especially
is suffering awful agony.
Harry Banninster, ofDnqnsne.Alleghany
county, was shot a-IJ killed by James X.
Taylor last Thursday night. It appears
that Baumaster, who lives fully a mile out
of town, had gone toDnqnesne Wednesday
evening to attend * labor meeting, and get
S ome medicine for his sick baby. Encount
ering two friends, Joseph Liukdaur and
John Atkinson he visited soveral saloons.
The trio b»gai drinking and kept it up un
til midnight, when the saloon closed. Kink
hanr, who is a carpenter, last night told
what happened after that. When we came 1
out of the saloon," said he, "Baumaster
said: Let's go down down here to Mrs.
Taylor's and have some fun. I've been there
often when her old man is away, and it'll
be all right. This i< Taylor's week for night
work and everything will be all right." We
wont with him, and wiien we got near the
holies Baumaster told us to wait until he
would go up and wake Mrs. Taylor. Qj got
np on the fence and rapped on the window
The first this we knew there was a shot
fired, then we heard a groan aud poor
Harry fell to the ground. We ran off, while
the man with the gun kept shooting away.
We did not shoot at hitn, for none of us
had guns. WA didn't know Mrs. Taylor,
but when Harry told us that he was in the
habit of going there, and there would be
.s LINE other woman there, we thought it
was all right
This ooenred SOME weeks but it
hasn't lost its flavor. P. M. McClintock,
lawyer, of Union City, WAS ia Erie and
dined at the Reed House. Soon after ho
had registered for dinner, C. S. Olmstead
of Corry, and J. W Sproul, of Union City,
came in. Seeing MCC'a NAME, they winked
slyly at the clerk, and registered affixing
to their autographs the words "with Mc-
Clintock," so that tho bill of the party
would be the later. McClintock
when coming to the counter, saw through

The success of the past

i the country we have largely in

Wo have gone right along
from the lime we started owing to
the fact that we adhere strictly to
first quality goods at the very low
