These nominations, in order to appear upon the official ballet of the district or township must bo oertified to the township or borough auditor* by the presiding effio«r and aoeratariea of the Meeting, (or by the election board*) and they must be sworn to before a Justice of the Peaoe or Votary Public. A certificate of nomination should read something like this: STATS or Pni*A, ) >"■ BCTLK Covrrr, > We hereby certify that at a meeting of member* of the (Republican, Democrat, Prohibition, etc) party of township. htld , t t ou 1893. the follow-1 lag named person* were placed in nomina tion. _ Pres. Sec'y. Attest of J. P. It then beoomes ths duty of the town ship or borough auditors to take the lists of nominations to a printing office and have the offloial ballots printed, and also to take charge ot ths *ame and deliver them to the •lection officers the day before the day ol the election Pur all, or nearly all, of the •lection districts of this oounty these bal lots will contain the list of the Republican and Democratic nominees, with a square to the right of each name for the X mark; and also a blank column for third party or Independent voter*. The eleotion will be held under the same rules governing a Fall election, as set forth in this column last week. The returns ot a Spring election are made to tbe Clerk of Courts, and in dis trict* in whiob a Justioe *f the Peaoe i* to be elected, a separate return of «ucb •lection must also b« made to the Prothon otary. In Bntler separate tickets for each ward, will bare to be printed, stating street and Bomber of each nomine*, but in the other bomughs and townships of the county one ticket will do for all. Seventy-five official ballots must be printed for each fifty and fraction of fiftj voters on the Assessor's list, and an equal number of specimen ballots, making 150 ballots necessary for each fifty and fraction thereof, and the auditors are required to obtain from the County Commissioner' 1 the requisite cards of instruction, and de liver the same with the ballots to th« Judges of election the day before election day. A stub is to be printsd with each officia' ballot stating that it is the offioial ballot ol that ward, borough or township for the •lection of that particular day. The electors of six of the townships o< this county, i. Washington, Cherry. Pairriew, Onnoquenessing, Jackson, anf Adams, all of which are divided, must this year elect Assistant Assessors, sr>d should rememb«r to make nominations for the same. For the boroughs the tiokets will prob ably be head ad by ths nominations foi Burgess and other general officers, follow •d by tbe nominations for ward officers; and for tbe townships wa suggest that they be headed by tbe nomination for Justioe of the Peaoe, (if any) followed by the Town ship Clerk (an office that has been greatly neglected) followed by Supervisors, School Directors, Tax Collector, Auditors, Assistant Assessors, Constable, Judgo ol Kleotion and Inspectors. A general form will aid in preventing mistakes by the prin ter; and so also will plainly written and correctly spelled names. THS people of France are hanging by tbe •velids these days. They don't know what is going to happen next. ___________ Gen. Butler's Career. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler's death calls public attention to a career which wen* farther back in tbe date at which it attain ed national prominence than that of anj other man of equal fame. Although Oen Butler's position before the war was mere ly that of state politician belonging to th< minority party of his state, tbe opening ot the war brought him at once to the atten tion of the nation, and he retained that at tention up to tbe olose of a long career. Before the war Mr. Butler cilled for politioal notioe as the Massaohusett's Dom oerat who voted for Jefferson Davis straight along in tbe Cbsrlestown convention. His character as a man ol positive views, who carried his conclusions to their extreme length, was admirably illustrated in that action. With the outbreak of the war b im position as a pro-slavery Democrat changed to that of an ardent supporter of the Uniou and enemy of the slave power that was try ing to disrupt the Nation. He led tbe first military torce that reached the oapital after the Baltimore outbreak had out off its communication* with the North, and took back a force to Baltimore which reduced tbe insurrectionary oity to sub mission. As the commandant at Fortress Monroe he involved the ingenious theory that the slaves of enemies of tbe Union were contraband of war. which not only gave tbe escaping negroes an name that struck to them throughout tbe struggle, but furnished practioal emancipation to »B who reached tbe Unioa lines, fl is course u New Orleans has bee'i the topic of inter national dispute, but it is oertsin that be kept the disaffected and violent elements of that oity in better order than any gov ernment established there before or since. General Butler's genius was pre-eminent ly that of a ' political general." The terra implied a reproach which was so far well founded that bis military operations were generally barren and sometimes disastrous. Bnt in the politioal ideas engendered of the problems of tbe war be was an epi grammatic genius. Hi* classification of the escaping slaves as "contraband of war" was matched by his description of the Southern States daring recoostraotion de bate* as "camps ef paroled prisoners." His Congressional career is still a cherished publio memory; while his Gubernatorial campaigns in Massachusetts, after he bad returned to the Democraic organisation, and his stirring up of ancient and time honored abuses is not soon to be forgotten. The gri-at characterises of Benjamin F. Bntler were his positiveness, his fear less doggedness in advocating his beliefs, and his originality of conception and argu ment. Few men exhibited those qualifica tion in as many and as diverse situations He was greatest and most undisputed as a lawyer; bnt despite the ontcry and Vilifica tion which attended bis work as a military administrator, theie is no doobt that he did work in that cbaraoter at New Orleans men as no other living man oould have done. A« a parliamentarian and debator he had few equal*, while as a campaigner he bad tbe qualities which never failed to arouse public interest. Unique, original •ad daring,our politic* never produced the counterpart of Gen. Butler, and few men have been known better fitted to perform bis peculiar part. With many of the polit ical fault* of hi* day, tbe forcible and posi tive characteristic* of Butler made bim a Character which the va*t majority of the •arion appreciates and will enerioh as one of ita valuable meqxrrter—Pttteburg , J The Farmer's Institute. The Court occupied the large room in the Court House, Tuesday morning, and there was some delay in securing the smaller r~>om, consequently it was towards 11 o'olock when Mr. Riddle called the meet ing to order,and ttated why he had charge of the matter. Mr. Xixon moved that Hon. Josiah M. Thompson be elected President, and this wa* seconded and made unanimous. Messrs Wm. Patterson, Robert Stevenson and Chriaty Robb were elected Vice Presi dent* and J. S. Campbell, E*i. Secretary. Mr. Nixon stated that the small room would be used during the day and the large room at nigbt. Mr. Riddle moved to proceed with the regular program, and James Downie of Adams twp. read an interesting article on corn growing, giving statistics of its pro duction on this continent, and hints re garding its cultivation. He favored top dressing. Mr. Magee asked for the experience of other* as to the use of commercial or arti ficial fertiliser in corn growing, and thus brought about a general discussion on the use and value of fertilisers. Mr. Robb thought it bad policy to use it on corn; Ben. Doutbett favored using plenty of it aud fertilizing all the ground; Nixon thought that farmers should club together and buy it from first hands; Mr. Magei ■aid it was a mistake to use it in rows, but that it was a good thing for all the ground; Judge Weir favored using plenty of it; Mr. Riddle thought some tanners were impov erished by the improper use ol fertilizers, said the law required all fertilizers to be analyzed and branded, and that soil* were also analyzed at the State College farm; Mr. Daubeuspeck favored experimenting with it; Jas. M. Douthett tbinks that clover and farm-yard manure are the best fertilisers; C. A. Cniikshank said that the State Board doss the farmer an injury by passing South Carolina rock, which sours the soil, for a hat. good fertilizers increase the crops, and had enabled the farmers of bis vicinity to raise their own wheat; Mr. Hobaugh and W. E. Bart ley thought Clover the best fertiliser; Mr. Nix on and Mr. Bmith wanted to vote on the question; Christy Robb has never used fer tilisers, and now has better crops than ev en the vote matter was dropped, and the Institute adjourned till 1, P. M. The room was filled at the first session, and those that were there seemed to be full of busi uess. Upon reassembling that afternoon, the small Court room was crowded and it was •igreed to hire the Opera House lor next day. Mr. Riddle read the paper ofVm. Stahl of Quincy, 111-, on spraying Fruit-Trees. John D. Harbison of Clinton twp., read *n excellent essay on Potato Culture. H> favors planting as early as possible, and .he free use of fertilizer. Judge Weir read a paper on Roads and Supervisors. He believes in the use of the ! *craper and roller as early in the Spring as ' possible, objects to "working out" road '-axes, believes that supervisors are born :iot made and excepts them from all poli tics; says the scraper and roller will repair the road* on a 3 mill tax while the plow ind shovel require 5 mills. James Stephenson, Esq., read a paper on Roads and Road making; stating the methods of constructing roads in ages gone by, referred to the old state and plank road*, think* the road law can be improv ed, and that we should have state aid and a County Sup't. of roads; that all road 'axes should be levied by the county and paid in money. Cbriatv Robb followed with an essay on '-'Roads, Publio and Private." He refer red to our wonderful progress in everything •iut road making; g»ve some history of road making on which he said the state al lowed 6 acres in every 100 for roads; think* that our present road laws are good enough *nd that bad roads are the fault ot bad su" pervisors; that roads are not made but patched; that there are too many special laws and blind law*; said that the money pent by the state on the Parker and W - Sunbury roads was wasted; tbinks that the law should prescribe a standard for roads aud that Constables should be required to report on them; referred to the careless work on the roads, and made some sugges cions as to tbe road laws. His article was i bright and suggestive one. At this point a couple of attorneys in the room told what tbey knew of the road law of New Jersey, which permits the bounty Commissioners to bond tbe coun ties for tbe purpose of macadamising the principal roads. Botne farmers in the room thought that the farmers should uot pay all the r->ad tax, while the teamsters, law < era, doctors, etc paid none. Charley Kerr said tbe tronble was that too mauy farmers paid their road tax by leaning on their shovels, aad said that Hugh Sproul was the best Supervisor Cher r> twp. bad ever had. The special road law of Clinton twp. which allows tbe Supervisors to apportion tbe roads among the property owners was several times referred to. Elliott Robb favored toll gates on all roads, as also did W. E. Hartley and N. H. Thompson. Chas. F. Smith said that all roads were built b\ taxation on real estate, wbich is not right, and he favors better and more • quitable tax laws, and tbinks that a fif teen foot ri-ad is wide enoueh. Josiah M. Thompsou said that 47 per ceut of tbe people of this State live in towns, and that the other 53 per cent have to keep up the roads. He favors a State law regarding road*. W. E Hartley's motion to appoint a committee to frame some suggestions for our State Legislators carried. The road matter was then dropped, anJ Mr. J D MeGee of Valencia was invited to read his paper on ''Will a Silo P»>f" tfr McGee b s had considerable experi ence with silos and he find* that they do pay. Be builds them of board*,and make* them air tight by covering on tbe inside with tarred paper. These are tilled with ?reen staff—i or. iodder, etc —which the cattle greatly enjoy in nr.id winter. The Institute then adjourned till next day. The lecture of Chill Hazard that evening was enjoyed by all wbo beard it. Chill is * pleasing talker,and he had a good audi ence. Wednesday morning Mr. A. G Black of Slipperyrock read an essay on "How to *eep the boys on tbe farm." Tbe discus sion that followed included tbe question of scbooliag and took a wide range The way to keep the boys on the farm is to treat tbe-n right and give them a chanco Marshall Doathett read his fathers es say on the "Kelation ot tbe Farmer to oth*r People'' and did it very well. Ta. M Glenn of W Sunbury read an essay entitled "What is tbe MatterT" He tbinks farm land pays too much tax; and is in f vor of taxing church property and reducing salaries. Legislation 'is a good t> iug but the law cannot re-ich the lo.ifer who sits on a storebox whittliug a stick and talking politios Will Findley spoke of corporation taxes; Charlie Kerr thinks there are ts>o in-iuy middlemen; X. U. Thompson talked of tbe tax on corporations; Tbos. Hays of the tax on oil wells and Sun Nixou t'avorod an in come tax; aud Josiah 54. Thompson stated that twenty-tour million people of this country paid seveuteen-twentietbs of the tax. Wednesday afternoon Hon. Josiah il Thompson, of Elora, spoke upon "What is the most profitable crop a ButlnrCo. farmer ran raise,"and after Inlly teviewiug the question decided in favor of corn and crass. S. H Piersol Esq. read a scholarly writ ten article on "Tbe Kevolution in Agricul ture," reviewing tbe advance made in farming, and improvements in farming machinery dnring the past fifty years His paper was, by many, considered the be»t read during the Institute, and that is saying a great deal for it, considering the number of good papers. J J McGarvey followed in an excellent article on Farm Journals or papers. Mr. McGarvey is a progressive farmer, and thinks every farmer should take at least one farm journal. Walter Hartley's paper on "the Progress of Agriculture in Butler County" reviewed me i-iipr-ivr-me ,ts rntde in the Ooun'y.and in farm machinery. H« think* «r*a are pru«pertraa and progressive, and that many of the complaint* made by firmer? are re garding imaginary evil*. Noah Henry. of Oakland twp., know* how to raise onions and make it p*y. and told the Institute how to do it; and we might add here that we are very much mistaken if will not pay all our farmers to give more attention to bntter. egjts. celery, onion*, berries, aud other articles that al m the farmer# in attendance followed, ana tile general sentiment was that !t had beeu of great value. . The lollowing resolutions were reported by the Committee and adopted: Resolved. That we favor a review of our tax laws so as to equalize the burden of taxation among all classes Resolved. That we favor no general road law until we have equal taxation. Resoled. That we favor taxation lor roaj purposes, geueral applicaTion, with out salaried supernumeraries Mr. Xixon moved the appointment of a Committee of seven to assist Mr. Riddle,t J prepare a programme for next year, anil that was agreed to, the President If• select menit>ers, aud it was agree d that the tnte -hall be held in Butler, next year, and at a time when Court will not ne in -essiou M'.?s Bnelah Timblin recited a humorous piece, and the Institute adjourned yiur die. It was. without doubt, the most pleasant and profitable meeting the farmers of But ler Conutv have ever had, aud notwith standing the remarkably colu weather, (the coldest in sixty years,) every session was well attended. Farmers are now as thoroughly alive to the fact that thev can profit by au ex change of views and experiences, as are ! ibose in other branches ot JMJ* ness and the Institute of next, year will probably be a ten times greater gathering than that of this year. TUB present session ol the Assembly i* likely t«t be a pretty long one for tUe rea son that it contains more thau the ordinary invoice ot orators. They will all want to do a good dual of talking, and it is not like ly they will get through before the "dor of apple blossoms begins to perfume the balmy breezes of Spring. An Awful Disaster. SAX FnAxei!>co, Jan 13, —A Canton cor respondent sends this account of a terrible disa.-tpr in a country about fitty miles Irom Canton, which occured early last month and reunited in the loss of nearly two thousand lives. A band of robbers made a riiid on the village «>f Kara lii m the Shin Sit.g district. They first levied a tribute of several thoiisand laels on the priests of the temple. The angry robbers applied the U,'ehes to th a shed and the people in a panic rushed into the temple f'>r refuge. The main entrance of the temple caught tire from the tierc- heat of the burning stied. and over 1,400 men, women and children were numed, smothered or tramp led under foot Most of the tataliti-s re sulted from suffocation, as a strong wind drove the smoke iut'' the teuiple. At the time of writing the mil of miss inir numbered I.SHO, and it may be thai some ol these were burnt beyond recognit ion. The disaster is tbe worst that has oc curred iu South China lor sevi-ial years. The Pension Question. Er>. CITIZEN: Your comments on the Herald fir its slanders on the soldiers were all right as for as it went, but it stopped too soon. We admit there are some of the pensioners who are undeserving. but they »re all democrats ot the same si ripe of the U era Id, but such men, or things, are not lit to inherit civilizations. They never went to defend their country honorably but were drafted,and then avoided the draft it. every conceivable manner, even to play ing off erazv. Wheu compelled to go, they played off while there, and consequently thev were a cflise, both there and at home S ich soldi -rs we ti* I « a iting places of trust and prominence, and are nothing bu l cowards, hypocrites, and never did nor uever will pay an honest debt unless the_\ have too; ot such are the fraudulent pensioners whom the Herald barks at. I will say further thero was not a man trorn the rankest copperbeiyi to the blackest abolitionist who in the early 60's would have heMtaied one moment in promising the soldiers tenfold more thau they get or ever have got it they would do just what they have done, but "when the devil i" sick the devil a Priest, would be; when the devil got well the devil a Priest was be."

The Legislature re-assembled last Thurs day. and throngh that day'* session was held l«>r the purpose of nominating candi dates fur United State* senator the An drew- Higby contest bobbed up in the flouse and monopolized most of the inter est. It resulted in a victory, or at least a partial victory.for Mr. Higby, as the journ al was corrected to show that he had be*-11 certified bv the secretary of the the Com - raonweath as the legally-elected represent ative from Crawford county. There was a long wrangle without a Republican leader to pull Andrews through, and the motion to correct the journal by inserting the election returns from Crawford county showing Mr. Higby to have been elected was passed by a decisive vote and by ac clamation. A motion to lay on the table was made the te-t and this was defeated by a vote of 60 to 106 on a yea and nay vote, 46 Repub licans voting with the Democrats against the motion to table. The motion to cor rect the record was then passed and the record as corrected was approved. Should the same Republican vote the same way when the contest comes up Mr. Andrews will be under the necessity of packing his grip and hieiac himself back to bis friends ir. Titusville on the shores of Oil creek. The matter came up when a motion was made to dispense with the reading of the journal Ex Speaker Benjamin L. Hewitt of H jntingdon objected, and when the Crawford county election returns were reached Mr. Hewitt rose with a resolution to correct the journal. The resolutijn reads as follows: Whereas, Hon W. P. Higby received a certificate of election to this house, certifi ed by the returning board, and the same was certified by the prothoaotary of Craw ford county to "the secretary of the com monwealth, which was duly certified by the secretary of the commonwealth to the clerk of this house: and, Whereas. It is the duty of the clerk to enter the names of the members whose election is so certifi-jd upon the rolls of the house; and, W bereas. The certificate from the court of Crawford county certified by the secre tary of the commonwealth setting forth tile election of Mr. W. H. Andrews was delivered to this house after its organiza tion and is now upon the speaker's desk: and. Whereas, The election ol W. P. Higby as certified by the secretary of the Com monwealth has not been journalized; and. Whereas, The clerk of the Louse, Mr Charles E. Voorhees, made a wrongful and unlawful entry upon the journal of this bouse; theret«re, bo it Resolved, That a correction be made in the journal of this houso by inserting the election return of W. P. Higby an.i pat ting his name upon the roll according to the mandate of the commonwealth. Mr. Keyser objected to action upon the resolution as nothing was in order but the reading of the journal. The further reading of the journal was dispensed with. Mr. Keyser still objected. Mr. Hewitt said it rus not a resolution, but a correction of tlie journal. A grievous wrong bad been dote aud it should be corrected. Mr. Key ser continued t<> object, aad Mr. ilewut presisted in arguing the question. He said it was a great constitutional right be was supporting. Alter considerable trouble aud wrangling the speaker decided the resolution out of order. Mr. Hewitt still held the floor and moved to correct the journil by inserting '.he returns from Crawford county as certified by the secretary of the commonwealth. The speak er asked him to reduce the motion to writ ing. and Mr. Hewitt got at it again in the form ol a resolution, which was again rul eJ out of order. Mr Hewitt retained the floor aud insisted upon discussing the question until called to order by Speaker Thomas, wfio said he could take au appeal if he wanted to. Mr. Hewitt declined to this. Ai this juncture Mr Cessna moved to amend the journal by inserting the return from Crawford county so far as they relat ed to the election of Mr. Higby. This mo tion was seconded by Mr. Stewart of Phil adelphia. Mr. Hewitt quoted the IJWS g ivi rniug elections, aud said that unless this tardy justice was done Mr. Higby could not even make a contest for bis seat. So far as any record of the house was con cerned Mr. Higby was a stranger to it. Mr H'-witt said he only wanted to do what was right, he had no prejudice in the case, but too many indignities had been com mitted agains Mr. Higby and the people of Crawford county in this matter. He did know why the Lord put it into the heads of the people of Crawford county to vote for a Democrat. That was something he could only explain ou the statement that His ways were mysterious; but he wanted fair play. Mr. Bii.-s asked why, if Mr. Higby's elec tion were not j >urualized,be could not still make a contest, and Mr. Hewitt replied the action of the house had left him neith er the position of contestant nor o.ntestee. Mr. Keyser then moved to lay the mo tion on the table and this motion was lost by a vote of 60 ayes to 10G noes. Mr. Cessna's motion to correct the journ al passed by acclamation, aud the Journal was approved as corrected in the same manner. Mr. Whirry asked to have that part of the journal immediately preceding the correction read and it was read as fol low*: The secretary of tho commonwealth ap pea'ed and preseuted the eleution returns as certified lo him by the clerks ol the va rious counties, etc. After the struggle in the hou.se opinions were freely eipretwd that when the con te.-t came before the house the vole would lie decidedly against Andrew*. Mr. Hew itt, discussing tbe matter after the session, said the action ol the house in giving Mr Andrews the seat as it had was an outrage, and the clerk eoold be pro.-ecuted by Mr. Uigby, u-ules* he was mi-taken. Tbe debate uu tbe Uigby-Andrews mat ter completely overtopped, in point of in terest. tlie nominations fur United States Senator, which immediately fol'owed This matter speedily disposed of. Fx >peaker Buyer being r.bsent, Mr Lytle, of ttuntington, nominated Senator Quay and ilr Hli»s, ol Delaware, Congressman John I! Kobiuson. lv was expected that Mr. I>.i!zell would be named by John Cessna, but it was considered more appropriate tbat this SHOD Id come from the candidate's own county, so Mr. Lafl'erty placed him in nomination. W. F. Stewart, ot Philadel phia, nominated Ueorge W.Cbilds. There were no nominating speeches. In tbe Sen ate the nominating proceedings were al most equally tame. On Tuesday, the Republican caucus nominated M. S. Quay lor U. S. Senator, the vote standing Quay 14G Ualzell 18; and tbe Democratic caucus nominated Ueorge Boss of Bucks Co.

Dempsoy. master workman of District Assembly 3. Knights of Labor, was placed on trial before Judge Stowe ia the criminal court of Allegheny Co., last Thursday, charged with the po'soning of the non-union workmen in the Homestead mill. The specific charges again st him were four in number, two for felonious assault and battery with intent to kill, and two fir assault and battery with intent to make sick. The commonwealth seemed to make out a strong case Friday. Every witness ex amined who had been sick at the mill or was seized by the malady after leaving there, testified to similar symptom.-: and all the physicians who attended agreed that their ill&ess was caused by ar senical poisoning. Through ali the evidence Mr. Dempsey, though he hearl every word, kept his feel ings well ucde, control He spoke to his counsel and made suggestions, and acted more like an interested spectator than the man on trial charged with a fearful crime His friends said his demeanor is that of a man with a clear ccnsciencc and a feeling that bis innocence will be proven. Comments by attorneys and the people are to the effect that the commonwealth has clearly proveu the fact that poison was administered with evil intent to the non union men in the Homestead mill. It still remains to connect Uugh F. Dempsey with the plot. The confessions of Patrick Gallagher and J. M. Davidson are relied on as the cementing link of evidence. The defense will assert thai those two witness es are unreliable and will attempt an alibi to disprove their stories. Dampsey and Gallagher were much look ed at by the crowds. The only time the master workman's face underwent a change yesterday was when he glanced full at Gal lagher, with an expression of intense loath ing. This augry glare was noted by many persous. The self-confessed poisoner saw it, too, and thereafter avoided meeting Dempsey's eyes. The absense of a woman among the hun dreds of listeners during the day was a fact noted by everyone. The smaller of the criminal court rooms was uncomfortably packed. A priest was among the number and his cloth was a scant protection for his body from the elbows cf the interested per sons around him. There were also present a large number of physicians in addition to those who gave testimony. The poisoning charges have aroused much discussion in the ranks of the medical profession. Among the witnesses heard that day were Geo. W. Amy, H P. Johusto-i and L H. Craig of Millerstown, this county, and their physician, Dr. J. L Campbell The men told of going to the mill, end of coming home sick, and Dr. Campbell gave his reasons for believing that they were suffering from poisoning. S. H. Loveless of Butler, S. S., also gave his experience, and told of his treat ment by Dr. Bell. yuit- a little excitement was caused in the Court Room, Monday, when the nauie of Patrick Gallagher was called Every person in the court room straiued his neck to get a view of the mau who first confessed the plot. He stood his examination with out llinching, told his story in a concise manner and held strictly to it under a most severe cross examination by Attorney Mar shall. That gentleman seemed more than surprised at tne manner in which Gallagh er answered his questions. So lar Gallagh er's statements have been corroborated in every particular, ami it is said 'hat this is only" the beginning of the corroborative ev idence. The court room was not well filled when the court opened, but as the day wore on. especially wheu Gallagher was put on tte stand, the space allotted for spectators was by far too small to accommodate ih.' eager people who thronged the corridors of tue court bouse. The audience was ma'fe up mostly of Workingmen. Attorney Erwin. the St Paul lawyer, came in during the morning and listened to the testimony. The morning session began with the call ing of J. O Nesbic. who testified that he was at the WOII'B sapper, and a short tune atter eating was taken with pains. He didn't vouiit much for four or five days. Mrs J. O. Nesbit, Willie Johnston, John Frank, H. M Itodgers, L. A. Whitson and Isaac McDonald testified to eating iu the mill restuiants and becomiug very sick. Dr E. N. Kages, who treated ltodgers, said the symptoms were those of cotton oil poisoning. Drs. E. B Haworth and A. ii Barton, who treated several of the witnesses, testified iu the same strain Then Gallagner toll' the loog story of bis dealings with Dempsey, a synopsis of which we have already printed, and he stood a searching cross-examination with out flinching. J M. Davidson was called and he told nearly the same story as Gallagher, ex cepting that ho tried to shield himself more than Gallagher did. He said the only powders he handled were the nine he carried front Dempsey to Beatty. George W. Crail. the Cecil alley dispatch er of the Citizen's Traction line, corrobor ated Gallagher as to the way he got the $25 trom l**uipsey He said Dempsey had come into his office and said: "Crail. if a man comes here and asks if I left anything for him, give him this mon ey." He did so and returned the receipt to Dempsey. He said Dempsey was in a hurry that day, and that it was not unusu al for him to leave things there to be given to SOJIO one else. He did so frequently, Mr. Crai: said. L. M Menfzger, manager of the District M s-enger office, corroborated Uallagber a- to the mes>age he sent to Dempsey after the story of tbe poisoning had been pub lished. The Court made an order requir ing biui lo produce the original records of tl.e message, atid to lurnish the name of the messenger boy Manager J. D. Flynn, ol the Western Union Telegraph office, will bo called to day to corroborate the statement about the talegram from Beatty from Cincinnati relative to the two cooks, and he will be required to furnish a copy of the telegram Mr. and an-s J. 0. Nesbit, .John Frank, and N. A. Whitten told of their illness, and when H M Rodgers, of Nineveh, was called to give similar evidence, Attorney- Porter questioned hiui as to who was pay ing bis exp'-nses while here. Judge Stowe remarked significantly that it did not make any difference who was ing bis expen ses; he is here at the instance of the com monwealth. " Dr. T F. Klages, of Armagh, Indiana connty. said lie bad treated Rodgers, and that he was suffering from croton oil poi soning. Dr. E. B. Hawortb, of Hazel wood, who treated Whitten. said bis trouble was eith er caused by indigestiou or by an irritant poison. Dr. Barton, of Homestead, said practi cally the samo thing about Isaac McDon ald, whom be treated. Tuesday the commonwealth closed its case with a ru.-h and apparently closed up every avenue by which the defense could hope to pass along in au attempt to aquit the defendant. Corroborating and firmly binding the testimony of about ail of the pros-.cuiion's witnesses was the testimony given by Capt AE. Hunt, the chemist, respecting hi« analysis in scarcb of poison. Arsenic and croton oil, the poisons which the district-attorney has based his cas upon, were found by Capt. Hunt, ac cording to his testimony, and the common wealth's strong ca*e was rested. For the defense tbere were several wit nesses pluced upon the stand, but none of the testimony was directed against lhat of tbe prosecution and no headway was made at any point From the start made that afternoon the line of defense would be that there was a great deal of sickness in and about Homestead that was in all essential features similar to that which was so prev elant on the iuside 'if tha mill, and that tbe causes in both were tbe same, impure wa ter, the character of the food, the quanti ties eaten and th" character of the weather. They are preparing to show that the syni toms exhibited by the persons who claim ed to be poisoned were the same as of those persons outside of the mill at the same time, also before and after. There was no indication given of how the defense will handle the positive evidence ol'Capt. Hunt, whose testimony was the main statement of the day. To tbe surprise of nearly everybody in the court room, the defense did not make a showing Wednesday torenoon A majority of the witnesses called did not respond to their names when called, and a number of attachments were issued. The majority of those who did answer to their names were either members of the National Guards or residents of Homestead who were employed in the Carnegie mills prior to the strike. Three witne-s ■» called by the defence niailo poefl witnesses fiir tbe prosecution.! A uuuioer id witn->»es testified to j sTlk wltU cramp's aad UiarrWra, wfrti dm | not board in or take meal' at any of the ' company's eating hou-e^. Some doctors testifi»-d to hivi-* treated I patients for typhoid fever wbose symptoms were the »ati e as the prevailing «u kne-» at the time, and who still sly that it was j typhoid. Dempsey himself wis on the stand for two hour-. Wednesday ..fv-rroon. and the burden of his testimony wa- that he hired Gallager and Davidson to moke reports to him of the canditi.m of affairs in 'ho mill [ He told a straight srd well-eomecled stoty. bnt District Alt Tuey li.frleign. in' bis cross-anamination, weakened it in j some points, trough not materially. Many other witnesses were et mined to ] show that bowel complaints were prev* ■ lent in Homestead last •iimniti; thit it, was usual for m»-n working in Homestead . mill to be troubled iu that way every sum j mer; that the water in the weils w-%» not fit for driuking purp. —-. «nd tiial the -ir ! rounding* of the mill were very bad from » sanitary view. The case will probably go to the jury to day. AT Xew Diggins. Wisconsin, the other day there was a strange wedding. The bridegroom -t ood 6 feet and 2 inches, th>* bride 3 feet 2J luohes. T'ie officiating clergyman hail but one leg The witnesses were a man without arms who signed the marriage contract wi'li a pen held between bis teeth, a woman who weighed 330 pounds and a mau 7 feet 6 inches tall The bride was 50 years old and her grand mother. aged !»S, attended the wedding. j M.
