for the Spring election (and the sooner
they are made the better) will probably be
made by party meeting* or primary elec
tions held under the rales of the parties.
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:

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

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

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*

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

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

counterpart of Gen. Butler, and few men
have been known better fitted to perform
bis peculiar part. With many of the polit

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

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

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<nt always find a ready sale in oar local
markets at good prices. Butler people are
at present paying 5 cents a stalk for

Carelessness in the part of the farmer is
like carelessness in tlie part of any other
business man —it costs money.
A somewhat humorous discussion, start
ed by Ben. Douthett as to whether or no
this Institute had been of any r»*al value
t'> 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

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

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

Harrisburg.
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

The Poisoning Cases.
Hugh L. 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 |

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
