It is stated that the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company has snch a large quantity of coal side-tracked in the coal regions and between them and tbe sea beard that in order to relieve the blockade the output will have to be restricted. Political. The two factions in the Democratic party of Beaver Co. bad an exciting time at their meeting in Beaver last Saturday, and the Ritchie faction named the Co. Chairman. The honest Republicans of Pennsylvania may well congratulate themselves on the fact that more than forty of their Repre sentatives at Harrisburg were last week fonnd willing to undo, so Car as they then could, the wrong committed by Clerk Voorbees in placing upon the roll of the House the name of a man who was not elected and excluding from it the name of one who was elected. The act of the Clerk was undoubtedly unauthorised by any law or precedent, and was, to say the least, a political plunder which must prove damag ing to the party if not corrected at the first opportunity. The action of a majori ty of the members of l«st Thurs day gives us reason to hope that it will be corrected. It will certainly bo advantag eous to (he party If all Republican mem bers iar be brought to join ex-Speaier Hewitt a J Representative Cessna is right* iug the wrong committed at the organiza tion.—Wellsboro Agitator There is certainly a unanimity of opinion among tbe newspapers of the State as to the settlement of the Andrews-Higby leg islative contest in Crawford county. The.i all demand that Mr. Higby be given the aeat he is justly entitled to, and that An drews be ousted. Whether the members of the House will do their duty in this mat ter remains to he seen, but it seems almost impossible to believe that they will not se< the right side and do justice to Mr. Higby and cany out the wishes of tbe people who elected him.— Miner's Journal. IT may not be uninteresting to know that other Commonwealths besides our OWL are trying to find means to make the good oitisen vote (if a man can be a good citi sen who does not act), and that other men besides Judge Stewart of Chambersburg have been trying by act of Assembly to increase tbe voting population. An expe riment or illustration comes by way oi Missouri. Instead of poll tax, the statutes of Missouri prescribe a fine of $2 50 for fail ure to vote. The oity attorney of Kansas City has taken the law at its werd, and has began action against B. T. Whipple, a prominent capitalist, for a starter. It is estimated that 18,000 men failed to vote in Kansas City at the November election At 13 50 each the city would net $45.00(V— --a purse worth working for. Tbe Missouri theory that a man who can vote and won't Tote should assist in liquidating any dam ages that this failure to do bis duty as a citisen may entail Missouri is not wrong in theory, sinoe those who do not vote are usually tbe most intelligent citisens; but the world will look on with interest to find out if there is any virtue in legislation to make the intelligent citizen do his duty. • Douthctt'a Resolution. On Wednesday of last week, Representa tive Doutbett asked general consent for the introduction of a resolution "Against tbe repeal or modification by Congress of the Act requiring the gates of tbe Wcrid's Columbian Exposition to be closed on Sun day," Fow, oi Philadelphia, objected and tbe matter went over till Monday, when Mr. Douthett again brought it up Mr. Fow entered bis protest sgarnet tbe resolution on the gronnd that tbe legisla tore bad nothing to do with tbe instructing of members of Congress, they being elect* ed to perform certsin duties which tbej are supposed to be competent to perforin without instruction Ritter of Lycoming followed in tbe same vein. He declared that every man familiar with the Chicago Sunday knew that tbe saloons,theat. rs and worse places were open, and the opening of the fair would be in tbe interest of mor ality. Mr Pkinner added that there were worse places in Chicago than tbe World'* fair, and they wonld be open on Sunday. Mr. Douthett ably defended bis resolu tion. » He said be bad hoped no gentleman on tbe floor of tbe bonse would defend a dishonest proposition. Bis resolution did not enter into the merits or demerits of openiug the World's fair on Sunday. It was only intended to assist in enforcing a contract which had been entered on the one part by the highest authority iii tbe land and on tbe other by tbe World's Fair commissioners. An appropriation bad been made lor the benefit ol tbe fair b> CongTers on condition that it should be eloeed on Sunday, and now there was an effort to escape from the condition with out givkg up the appropriation. Ho hop ed the legislature would discountenances any suob dishonest methods. Mr. Fow inquired if tbe gentleman knew there was a powerful lobby in Washington opposiug the repeal of that condition Mr Doutbett replied be was awaro there war a very strong opposition to tbe proposition which was represented in Washington That was not gern ane to tbo resolution Tbe yeas and nays were called and tbi resolution was adopted by a vote of Dl to 52 and messsge to the senate. ThMPKaaKCE has become a business necessity. Nearly all the great railway lines have for several years insisted upon their engineers pledging themselves to to tal abstinenoe. and il bas folly come to pass that tbe drink babit militates against the advancement of a man in any railway position. This becomes more genera! in •very branch of business every year. Many business bouses will not employ a man known to be a habitual drinker, and tbe time is at baud when tbe young man most choose between tbe drink babit aud re spectable employment. It is a stock tem perance argument that intemperance blasts hopes and reputation and destroys all chance of advancement and prosperity. Yet it is eminently true in as Jarge a sense as to-day. it is certsin to become more »r all school children at publishers prices, and *lso one for an appropriation for the Slip peryrock Normal, which this year want* jesiooo. Regarding tax laws. Uany Ilali, corre >pondent of tbe Pittsburg Timet has tbe following to say: In addition to thequea tion of new tax laws, it is likely that the interpretation put upon the present one by the Auditor General's department may have no unimportant effect upon the State s finances. The Buyer act of 1891 changed the methed of appraising tbe value of capi tal stocks of corporations. Tbey must he appraised at tbeir actual value in cash, not less, however, than tbe average price at which it sold during the year, "and not less than tbe price of value indicated or measured by net earnings or by the amount of profit made and either declared in divi dends or carried into surplus or sinking fund." The "net earnings" clause is new In settling taxes with corporations this rear, tbe department baa largely baaed ita calculations upon this, clause. As an ex ample of tbe change, one case may be cit ed where a railroad corporation returns 1..- oapital stocks at $2,000,000, its par value *nd the rate it has sold at. At ■> mills, the tax amount* to SIO,OOO. But measur ing its capital stock value upon the net earnings returned, the department fi,**"" it t»t $8,700,000 and makes the tax iMJ.oOO. In calculating the tax, the department regards the net earnings as representing 6 per cent, or the actual value of the caniul stock, that rate having been the dividend basis fixed by the act of 1889 and previous laws. Although all taxes are being settled or this basis, tbe Auditor General and State freannrer have not yet fully decided whether to endeavor to collect them as thus settled, wishing first to lie sure that r.heir interpretation of the "net earnings clansA will stand the test of the courts, for it is certain that the corporations will ap peal in almost every instance. Should it be insisted on and sustained by the courts, the State taxes* ill be increased to figures beyond the wildest anticipations of the framers of the law. Monday night, Doutbett's resolution noted in another place, passed by a vote of 91 to 52, and w the Senate Gobin started after Gov.

Nelson, Baker the remarks of the Judge. When the jury had gone. Demp sey arose apparently unconcerned, and left the court r.«'® with his attorneys. Upon the reconvening of the court at 1 o'clock the jury camojn and asked for fur ther instructions relative to tbe various counts in the indictment The Court ex plained again that the prosecution hat tailed to produce any evidence which would justify the jury in finding Dempsey guilt} on the third and fourth counts, whict charged the defendant with combining with other persons unknown to adniini - ter poison, that tbe only counts the jury could consider were the first and second which charge that Derapsey administer-d poison with intent to commit murder. Ttie Court said that if the jury believed pois-n was administered and that Denif-ej administered or caused to bo adminis tered such poison then be wa guilty as to the first count. After receiving these instructions the jurors went out. Deuipsey and his att'T aeys were standing in the corridor at the lime the jury cauie iu for instructions, when told of the fact they hastened iut<- the courtroom.

To those who have pursued the testimo ny in the case of Hugh F. Deuipsey, cliarg ed with having been implicated in the poisoning of food served to employees in : he Homestead mill, tbo verdict of the jun will not only be no surprise receive their heart} commendation. The crime i ■ •ue of tho most atrocious and infanmu? known to the law, aud the circumstance:* attendant upon itsperpeiration in this case were so peculiarly aggravating and hcin IOUS that, the (acts having been fairly and ;-learlj' established, a verdict oi conviction was imperatively demanded. The trial was presided over by one of the ablest judges in tbo state, and the defend ant had the benefit of counsel of unques tioned force and influence. The vital points were: First, was poison put into the food as alleged? and secondly, if pois ■•n was so administered was it at tho in stance or by the authority of the defend I 4nt T The court charged the jury that il the evidence failed to show that poison was used they must find a verdict for the defendant. If, on tbo other band, they were satisfied that noison had been used, then they must satisfy themselves beyond a reasonaole doubt that it was used at the instance and with the knowledge of the defendant before they would bo warranted in finding a verdict of guilty. The court further instructed tbo jury that the) night convict Deinpsey on the testi uiony of his accomplices, Gallehe. and Davidson, alone. The defendant was a competent though interested wit liens, while his accomplices were sus picions and tainted witnesses, and it Wie the duty of tbe jury to pass upon their credibility. If they believed Gallagher and Davidson's testimony, that would just tily them in finding a verdict ot guilty a.- Hgaiii Deinpsey,even though he had denie •ill complicity in the poisoning. Tin jndge concluded in these words: "I hav< carefully avoided anything like an opinion upon either of tbei-e facts, because it is for you alone to determine them and render y >ur verdict in accordance with such de termination without fear or favor." I'bero was appparently no serious doubts in the minds ol tbe jurors as to ths main facts in tbe case. They were satisfied poison had deeu used anil that Deinpsey had guilty knowledge of tiie tact. Some difficulty was experienced as to the minor counts iu the. indictment, but when the e .urt cleared away that obstacle they promptly returned a" verdiat of guilty as indicted. The crime involves a tine not exceeding SI,OOO and imprisonment iu the penitentiary not exceeding seven years— not a whit too severe when the gravity of tho offense is considered. —Pittsburg Gazette.

A few minutes past 12 o'clock there w.is a slight explosion oi one tank which scattered lltr debris on either sides, selling tile to Ihe slock J ardc enclosures.

Enoch Smith on the occasion of the .V Anniversary of the English Evangelical Lutheran Church, of this place.) Many year- conipaf - lively, of the primeval forests had be* n removed from the virgin soil of th.s coun ty. and long be lore tbe val'.e and use. of ..etroleum were known, or natural g.i- i iamiuated aud warmed the dwelling- ol its inhabitants, the town of Butler w.,s projected aud the county of Hutler forme . Among thoe who sought ho::: here we e -uch whose religious convictions h.. • brought and kept tbem in connection with the Ev. Luth. Church. Tbe number may have been, doubtle-I VN, -mail; bit t .e convictions were just as and the laith just as precious to these few. al though their numbers hail run up into thi thousands. The things of God are pun and sweet, whether embraced by many or by few, and God's sleepless eye is npo- ; *ild il:s angels have care over tbe one iu the lion's den equally' a- much asup.'n and over all the otner captive Jews. To our brothers and sister* in the Lord of the gen erations past, who in thi. town and count; were baptised and confirmed in the Ek" Luth. Church, their faith was horse-",earn est,heartfelt: henee they established a coa gregation. the official records of which -each back as far as 1813. llow long after this time tbe congregation—our sister con gregation (the St. Marks E . Luth.) re ceived the services of a regular pa-tor, or at what date exactly the organisation wa efleeted aud perfected, I have been nnab: : to learn In those early days, howr-vi;-. me language of our Lutheran people in this vicinity seems to have Oe-jri almost wholly German; at lea.st the public miui trationsof the sanctuary were then, anu lor many years succeeding, conducted in that language. I am unable to give tbe names of the several pa -tors who minister .«1 to that congregation, from the time ol ila organization to the date w hen our owr. was called into existence. I aui, however, informed by creditable record, that Rev. Sweiizerbarth, known to this day in tin annals oi this county, and by the old _nn.; middle aged Lntherau ministers of West ern Pa., a- Bishop Sweitzerb rth, became pastor of the mother congregation, in 1821. <»ud was still its honored under-sbepheru when a goodly number of the American born in that lold de.-ired, both for them selves and their sons and daughters the use of the English lauguage in some of the public services of God's house. But the irood old Dominie, doubtless honest and -incere in his views, though certainly in error, was not able to see it his duty to grant this reasonable request. The same mistake had been made by others before nis day, and has been made a thousand times since. Our Lutheran Church would -tand higher and occupy a different posi tion in this laud of sects and schisms soci ally, financially and numerically at present nail not this question of language been a bone of contention, aud hampentd her growth lor more than a centnry, but par licularly so within the last 50 years. Had the English langu tge bt-en carefully iutro ■lnced and been judiciously used by our church for tbe last 50—100 year- we would have been able to have retained lor aud to hiir many ot her sons and daughters wbo nave louud homes iu other denominations olour land; but because our lathers declined to adapt themselves to tiie circumstances iiid i he demands of tbe times —others have reaped the harvest. At last however the privilege of holding English services in the old German church, corner MeKean i>nd \* ayne street*, was granted,and liev G. Bassler of Zelianople, either himself volunteered, or was called by those interested, to preach in the Kug h-b language. When he first came lo Duller, 1842, the number of his hearers « »» small,yet he met with encouragement from some oi ihe members of the German c m -regation. as tbe records ot thischurcb will -how. lie took up bis residence iu tbe house of John MeOollough on W&shingtci St. This house had been built f>r and u-ed as the first jail of Butler county, aud was ouly recently removed. It would ap pear also,that public services wore betimes 11eld here by the young divine. On tbe 16:h day of Jan. 1843, sncn persona as felt me no difi.n Etigiisb congregation, und ■vero ready lo unite with it,held a meeting and adapted a constitution for the govern ment id the new congregation. Officers >ere also chosen, these, however,were not installed until several weeks later, Feb 11. I'lie constitution was signed by 43 individ uals, 22 males, 23 lemales. I find on the • ist of the present membership ot the con gregation some of the names still handed down The fatbers have passed on betore to their God and Judge; but their cnildren, ■r children's children still gather ar >uud ihis altar. May they rightly use that for which the fathers struggled so har.l. aud sacrificed so much to obtain, then will the 'Jongregatiou be made a vat gr -ater p nv • ■ for good, tbe heart and conscience will be peaceful, and God will be glorified- The tir.it. communion was held wit.li the mow congregation i>n the 18th of Jane, 184:t. Pastor Handler superscribes the li t •i-ansferred into the church records with the words: "Glory to God in the highest." Fourteen persons were milled to the coil (Crrjtation, thus making the number 50 deanwbile those desiring English preach ing endeavored to negotiate with the German Congregation tor the ut-e o! their boose of worship. Meetings were held, and Committees appointed l>r both parti**, and various propositions submitted in re ference to the j >int use of tho Ueruian Church. No agreement however. «m reached, and as a solution ol the difficulty the following action was taken at a meet ing held by Ihe English Congregation: "Resolved, Thai we proceed to build a church." A Committee of arrangements and building was appointed- What I hat Committee effected, or whatever became 'it it, we have been unable to learn, anil can only surmise that it lay lnactivv until the year 1848, when the matter of building was again revived. Where the eervicoa were helil for the greater part of the time intervening between these years the papers and books of tho congregation do not in form us, but from other sources we learn, (hat they were held in the first Court House of the county, with an occasional service in the old German Church or some • •ther of the church buildings in town. In the minutes of a meeting held June 10, 1848. it is stated that, lifter public worship ihe congregation remained, in order to come to souie conclusion about building a house of worship Two offer* of a location of which to build were made.

Alter a full and fraternal exchange of views relative lo the advantages and disadvantages of tho respective sites, it «a< resolved to ac cept the offer of Michael E nrick, and to liiui, as one of the oldest members id this congregation said to me very lately, per haps in ire than to any other of the early members of tnis congregation, are we in debted lor the erection ol lis tirsl bouse ol worship. Brother Emrick gave thtf lot in ire simple, upon whio* Ui« church still stands (though now owned and mod by the Reformed Congregation,) and being a carpenter by trade did very ninth ol the wood-work gratuitously also. Ho was a most worthy christian man, loviug hi* church and iaboring qui-'tly and unosleu tationsly for her because he loved his l»»l and Saviour, and Ins name deserves honor able mention in tbissemi-centenuiual ol the congregation for which he did so much m the early uays of its existence. The build ing referred to above, was begun in the >ear 184!). and completed anil dedicated in September, 18.11). For 127 y ears ll served tho congregation as a place of worship. Possibly some of you wlio are hero today, within the precincts of those walls public ly vowed faithfulness to (lod and to Ins Christ;if so can yon honestly, and as in the presence ol Ood, say that, you have sincerely tried to serve the Lord, and to grow in nearness to Christ ? Some haw gone to their reward, prominent among those being ihe names ol Michael huiricX, Jacob Slianor. John Negley, John Dull.
