The Senatorial Gambler*.
A dispatch from Washington to the
Pittsburg Dispatch, printed last Sunday,
gays the explanation yesterday of Senator
Vest of the manner in which the sugar
schedule was constructed, the admission
of Senator Quay that he had speculated
in sugar and had only closed out his last
deal the day when the Senate was to vote
upon the schedule, he not expecting the
rote to be had so soon, and the denial of
other Senators who are known to have
speculated that they have had even a sin
gle dollar invested in Sugar Trust stocks
have led to an immense amount of gossip
in political and speculative circles.
Senator Quay is generally commended
for his frankness and would be as gener
ally exonerated from blame, as most peo
ple nowadays have come to accept stock
gambling as inseparable from modern civ
ilization, had not the Senator held his
stock up to the day when the fate of the
sugar schedule waa finally decided, and
worse than that, had he not been the one
Republican to support the trust's schedule.
These actions appear to be marked up
against the Senator a* weak spots in his
armor, aside from the question of propriety
involved in speculating at all, which is
held by many to be a question for the Sen
ator's own oonscience and not for the Sen
ate.
The denials of some of the other Sena
tors excite much more gossip than the
confession of Quay, and some held the
opinion that those denials will not be the
end of the investigation so far a* they are
concerned. An impression permeates the
atmosphere of the whole capital that cer
tain Senator* hare been guilty of gross
equivocation before the committee in re
gard to their speculations.
There are persons resident in Washing
ton who declare they heard one Senator
give orders to his broker for deals in sugar
stocks. When asked why they do not go
before the committee and testifv to that
effect, they say it would simply be a ques
tion of veracity and the committee would
accept the statement cf a Senator under
oath rather than an opposing statement of
one not a Senator under oath.
When it is suggested to them that they
could have the oroker* called who made
the deals, they reply that the brokers
would all refuse to answer, a* did Mr.
Chapman, of Moore Schley, and there
the matter would end, and the perjured
Senator would be secure from attack.
The Sugar Trust has seenred the opin
ions of the best lawyers available, and the
opinion of judges of high rank, as well,
who say that a Senate committee has less
power than a Justice of the Peace to com
pel a witness to answer questions when he
does not wish to do so. Senators there
fore stand before the committee and stretch
their elastic consciences to the utmost
limit, nnder a solemn oath that they will
tell the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, knowing that the only persons who
are aware of the worthies* character of
tkeir sworn evidence will refuse to expose
them. This is the humilating and repul
sive complexion of the conduct of some of
the members of the Senate, if certain per
sons in this city can believe the evidence
of their own ears.
Even theie whispered stories of Sena
torial perjury excite lees comment, per
haps, than the frank statement of Senator
Vest in regard to scenes attending the con
struction of the sugar schedule.
A PASSinoiK boat returning to Westport
Quay, Ireland, from Auhil island with 80

Political Notes.
At the Democratic primaries in Clarion
Co. last Saturday, Kribba was defeated for
renomination for Congress, by Fox.
W. 0. Smith of the Panxsatawney Spirit
was renominated for Assembly, by the
Republicans of Jefferson Co. last Satur
day.
It is suggested by a contemporary that
the ominous "W" on the wings of the
seventeenth year locusts in this
Democratic misfit era means Wallop.
From the way the elections have been
going this year, since Pennsylvania start
ed them in February with 188,000 majority
for Grow, and concluding with the over
whelming defeat of Democrats and Popu
lists in Oregon last week, and the com
plete reversal in Illinois, this seems at
feast probable.
The Coxeyitea.
A dozen tramp patriots, or Coiey ites, or
Populists, or Commonwealers, whatever
you may choose to call them—arrived in
Bntler by the use of their legs and the ties
of the P. it W. R. B. last Thursday, and
on Friday another squad arrived in same
manner and by same route.
They rented Gus Fallers barn Lin the
south side and made it their home and
headquarters, and on Friday evening
marched up to the Court House, where a
crowd gathered around them.
Simeon Nixon mounted a box and oall
ed for order, and introduced J. C. McClel
land of Renfrew, who made an address ad
vocated the enacting of a law by which a
county could execute non-interest bearing
bonds to the value of half its real estate
and then send these bonds to 'Washington
and receive in return ior them printed
paper purporting to be dollars or money.
He advocated doing away with the use of
gold and silver as money. His speech was
followed by a song "On to Washington"
and then one of the "Army" spoke, advo
cating the issuing by the national govern
ment of five-hundred million dollars for the
improvement of the public roads, and a
great many other things.
Mr. McClelland did not say how his
money (f) was to be circulated, or what
the unit of value was to be after gold and
silver were discarded, and that is the link
left out of the chain of the argument of all
the Populists and many of the silver cranks.
They cannot tee or will not see that
money is not money unless it is of intrin
sic value, or something representing in
trinsic value, and to recognized the world
over. All the civilized and semi-civilized
nations of the earth have for ages used the
metals, gold and silver, for money, these
metals being of intrinsic value by reason
of their beauty, rarity, usefulness and im
perishableness.
The civilized nations including our own,
take so many grains of gold as a standard,
and make their silver and paper money
come up to that standard. The semi civil
ized, like China, take so many grains ot
silver as a standard and do the same with
the mixed metal money, and paper money
if they have any.
The banks of this country are at preaant
full of good money awaiting investment—
awaiting a return of butineaa confidence
and what good wooM it do to ieeue a large
bulk of paper wttoefof doubtful or fluctuat
ing value. Ton cotrld not take a shipload
of it to Brazil and exchange it for a ship
load of coffee, because they don 't want our
real ertate down there; they hare enough
of their own; they want money; and on
the other hand they could not come up
here with a ship load of their paper rep
resenting their real estate alone, and ex
change it lor manufactured goods, as we
dont want their real estate, wt have
enough of our own, but we do want what
passes for money the world over— gold and
•liver.
Washington Note*.
Every effort tu made in the Senate by
the Republicans, Friday, to take wool loff
the "Free Li«t." and the Populists nap
ported a proposition for a doty of half what
it is now, but the Democrats stood firm
for free wool.
This Democratic refusal to grant any
concession on wool seemed to anger the
Populists, and Senator Peffer, of Kansas,
at one offered an amendment placing all
woolen manufactures on the free list. No
rote was had on this, bmt of coarse it will
be defeated. The Democrats, although
they they have kept wool on the free list,
have no end of trouble among themselves
on the woolen manufactures schedule.
The manufacturers were promised by the
Democratic Senators that the schedule
shall be amended by making 60 cents per
pound the dividing line between the high
est and lowest duties on dress goods, etc.,
but they have opposition in their own
ranks. Senators Gray, of Delaware, and
Vilas, ot Wisconsin,are up in arms against
any further concessions, and Friday s re
fusal to put a duty on wool strengthens
their position. To keep wool free, and in
crease the duties on the manufactured
product, is to be not even consistent from
a Democratic tariff standpoint, and that
standpoint has certainly been vague
enough this session.
The Democratic leaders made another
attempt Friday to get the Republicans to
agree to a time for taking a vote upon the
woolen schedules; but Senator Quay ob
jected, and brought out several sections of
his unfinished speech and prepared for
business. As he had material on hand for
30 days of steady reading, his action was
very significant, and the Democrats gave
np in disgust. There was a great deal of
uncertainty as to when the vote will be
taken, oi when a final vote on the bill will
be reached. It is hardly probable, how
ever, that the bill will pass the Senate be
fore July 1.
The Senatorial Sugar Trust investiga
, tion Friday commenced the examination
of the individual members of the Senate,
in alphabetical order, as to their knowl
edge or connection with dealings im sugar
stock or the sugar legislation of the tarifl
bill.
The examination of Senators from A to
H, inclusive, with very few exceptions was
completed. The examination of Senator
Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, was the most im
portant. He said:
"I have never been concerned in any
speculations or investments or interested
in them, the result of which depended or
legislation in Congress or elsewhere
All the Senators examined testified tc
having no relations directly or indirectly
with the Sugar Trust.
The sensation of Friday was Senator
Quay's evidence before the investigating
committee. The first question plumped
at him was:—
"Have you sold directly or indirectly
since the beginning of this session of Con
gress so called sugar stock t"
The answer was "1 have; have bought
and sold,not continuously,but incidentally
with other stocks, stock of the American
Sugar Refining company, during2o montha
past. The last transaction was on the day
that the vote was taken on the sugai
schedule. I had been away for a week
and did not know that a vote had been
agreed upon. I closed out that day at
some loss to enable me to vote without
having any interestin the question. Ido
not feel that there is anything in my con
nection with the Senate to prevent my
buying and selling stocks, and I propose
to do so."
On Monday the wood pulp schedule was
disposed of in the Senate, and then the
ooal schedule was taken up.
The house bill placed coal on the list.
The finance committee amendment placed
a duty of4o cents per ton on bituminous
coal and shale, 15 cents on slack and clum
and 15 per cent ad valorem on coke. As
soon as the clerk had read this paragraph
Mr. Hill and Mr. Peffer jumped to their
feet. The New York Senator was recog
nixed and he sent to the clerk's desk an
amendment to relegate bituminous coal
and shale to the free list.
Senator Hill to-day said he reserved the
right to Tote for or against the tariff bill
when "I Me what it is as a finality," pas
sionately exclaiming: "God know* what
the bill will be like when it passes this
Senate and comes out of conference. God
knows how many more extortions and
concessions will be wrung from the un
willing hands of the committee." He
supported his amendment with a speech.
It was useless for him to enter into a
lengthy argument. He simply wanted to
call the attention of his Democratic col
leagues to the fact that the country ex
pected a Democratic congress in aay tariff
reform measure to place coal on the free
list. It had been demanded by the Demo
cratic platform and by every Democratic
Senator who had spoken during the cam
paign of 1892. If there was anything to
which the party was pledged it was free
raw materials and il there was any raw
material it was coal.
Peffer supported Hill, and V«st and
others opposed him, and his amendment
was lost by a vote of 51 to 7.
Senator Gorman, author of the Senate
tariff bill, has marked Lis return to bis
seat by aggressive activity, and is cleaning
the decks for action. The sugar investi
gation is to be closed at once, and the tar
iff bill is to be rushed to a vote by the
abandonment of the 49 pages known as the
administration features. Gorman wants to
fight and iB for the bill in its features as a
revenue bill.
The duty was restored on a number of
articles on Tuesday in the Senate bill, the
Populists voting generally for the duties.
The tariff was disposed of in the Senate
Wednesday and preparations made for tak
ing up the income tax. Senator Hill open
ed the ball Thursdar morning in a speech
opposing it. It ii thought that amend
ments will be madeexepmting many organ
izations, etc. which will sugar coat the bill
and make it acceptable to many now op
posed to it.
TBI Republican League' has secured re
duced rates of transportation to the Na
tional Convention of Republican Clubs,
which meets at Denver, Col, on June 26th.
The rate from Pittaburg for round trip is
$26.75 and stop over facilities may be ob
tained.
Hippua--Rieger.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Valentine
Rieger, near Carbon Centre, on the even
ing of June 14th was the scene of a wed
ding which will long be remembered by
all present as one of the most exquisite
social events of their life. The occasion
which the guests met to celebrate was the
marriage of their beautiful daughter,
Louisa, to John G. Bippus, Jr., of Butler
There were present about thirty; all
of whom were intimate friends ot the fam
ilies.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the wedding
march was played by the bride's sister,and
announced the approach of the attendants,
followed by the bride and groom, who
took their places, when Rev. Cronenwett
began the ceremony which bound them
together for life. After congratulations
a repast was served which woura have sat
isfied the crowned heads of the Orient.
The array of presents was profuse and
beautiful, a few of which we will name,
together with their donors: Dr. C. C.
Bippus, of Allegheny City, check for fifty
dollars; bed room suite by Capt. Bippus;
suite upholstery by the bride's mother;
cushioned rocking chair by Dr. Samuel
Bippns; marble clock by Mrs. Sutton,
bride's sister; dining room set by Matthew
Bippus; hall rack by Miss Lulu and parlor
lamp by Miss Emma Bippus; crayon por
trait by Miss Laara. Riagar. There were
many more of leaa value, bat eqaaUf use
ful, all of which were highly appreciated,
and were the outpourings of love and es
teem.
The evening was profitably spent in so
cial intercourse and music till about 11
o'clock when friends began to bid adieu
and take their departure for their homes.
The happy couple left for their beautiful
home in Butler, which the groom had in
readiness for their reception and which is
to be their future home.
The groom is the oldest son of Capt.
Bippus, is a contractor by profession and
is held in the highest esteem by all who
krew bim as a man of houor and integrity.
May ;htii pathway through life be radient
with the sunbeams of peace and joy is the
wish of their many friends. M.
The Strikes.
"Seventy-nine cent* or bast," was the
ultimatum pronounced by over2ooo miners
of the Panhandle district at a mass meet
ing at Carnegie on last Thursday. Amid
furore and excitement the miner* repudi
ated the agreement made for them by their
national officers and requested them to re
sign.
Xear Massillion. Ohio, the same day the
strikers burned two railroad bridges and
set,fire to the station at Sherrodsville.
Ten carloads of soldiers were at once sent
to the scene.
At Punxsutawney, Pa., the Berwind-
White Co. were having no trouble in work
ing their mine?.
A delegate convention of coke workers
held at Scottdale. passed a unanimous res
olution to continue the strike.
At Greensburg, Pa. a band of Slavs made
prisoners of two Deputy Sheriffs tbey
caught in bathing.
On Saturday a large convention was
held by the strikers at Pittsburg and rep
resentatives of 20,000 men were present.
The result of the meeting ends the strike
as the men agreed to go back at the rate
adopted at Columbus. It now rests with
the operators whether the great strike is a
thing of the past or not
Pres. Cairns called the meeting to order
at 10:30 a.m. in the City Hall, and 120
delegates were reported present. A mo
tion was made that the Columbus compro
mise scale be adopted and the men return
to work on Monday. For over two hours
there was an incessant wrangling. Finally
by a vote of 80 to 31 the miners decided to
return to work.
At a late hour Saturday night the au
thorities called out more troops in Illinois
to proceed to Mt. Olive, where the strikers
hart rescued some of their number from the
deputies.
At Punxsutawney, Monday morning, a
repair train on the B, R <fc P. R. R was
raided by a mob of 500 Italians tiud Hun
garians, who thought it contained deputies
to guard the new men. About 100 shots
were fired but no one was injured.
In the Scottda'.e region all the coke
plants were reported in operation on Mon
day.
On Monday there was a general resump
tion of work through the bituminous min
ing regions of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. In the central part of this state
there was yet some trouble, but in general
the strikes seem over. An official of the
strikers said:
"Reports from different parts ol the
country continue to arrive, indorsing the
action ot the national officials. The miners
of Bancroft, Queen City and Plymouth,
Ind., sent in a series ol approving resolu
tions. From Millport and vicinity, in the
Massillon districts, 250 men in mass meet
ing indorsed the action and consider it a
great victory. A mass meeting of Cosbcton
miners ! ave wired their indorsement, and
Brilliant, 0., sends approval."
The Berwind White Co. and others heid
a meeting at Philadelphia and unanimous
ly resolved to continue in their stand.
They will employ new hands and endeavor
to run their m ines without the striking
men.
Punxsutawney on Tuesday was like a
volcano Irom which ihe smoke aud fire,
and trembling earth were continually
threatening the outbreak to come. Tne
strikers were becoming famished aud de>--
perate from hunger and no longer coucesl
ed the fact that nearly all were aruieii and
ready lor any dt-i-perate encounter. Tbe>
charged the representatives ot the operators
with actiog in liad faith, and were general
ly in an ugly mood.
A riot occurred near Scottd*!*, Tuesday,
in which several men were injured. The
mob of Slavs were broken up by Sherifl
McCann and the leaders arretted
The miners ol Kentucky are going out

worse and trouble must follow.
2000 iron miners in Michigan have
struck.
At Scottdale the strike is completely
broken and the men are rushing back to
get places.
A Celebration.
The children and grand-children of Mrs.
Jane E. Douthett, of Brownsdale. assem
bled at her home on the 4th of June, for
the purpose of celebrating her 69th birth
day. By previous arrangement she was
pursuaded to go to Butler for a few days,
in order that the necessary arrangements
could be made, without her having any
knowledge of the event.
According to arrangements the invited
guests camo by 2 o'clock and everything
was put in readiness for her arrival, which
was to be about 6 o'clock. Wm. G.
Douthett, ol Butler, arrived promptly at (i
o'clock with mother; and to say she
was surprised would be putting it very
moderately indeed. She very soon took
in the situation and everyone seemed hap
py.
At 6:15, p.m., supper w».s announoed by
the ladies present and very soon all the
guests were seated around a table laden
with all the eatables that any one could
imagine. Every luxury of the seasou was
brought into play and all were fed abun
dantly. Alter supper A. M. Douthett call
ed the assembly to order and stated briefly
the object of the meeting. Mr. John B
Dodds, by unanimous choice, was oalled
to the chair and presided his usual
pleasantness and promptness. The chair
man announced the 23d psalm and all
voices joined in singing that good old
psalm which mother loves so well. After
the singing of this psalm, the chairman
led in prayer which was very touching aud
appropriate for such an ocoassion. The
arranged program was then announced and
B. W. Douthett was called forth to talk ou
'•Family History." Ho spoke wiih force
and earnestness and as he called lortb
reminiscences of the past all hearts were
touched and I believe everyone present
fell like joining the poet in saying "Home,
sweet, sweet, biime; there is no place like
home."
Mr. J. M. Douthett was called upon next
and gave a very able and practical address
on "The value of a Christian mother's
training." All preseut would do well to
remember the excellent advice given by the
•peaker and especially the parents who
were present. Mrs Jennie L. Patterson
1 followed this speaker with a very excel
lent essay on the subject of ''What we
owe Father and Mother," the duty of the
child was very clearly and logically pre
sented and all the children present should
be benefitted by this paper. .Vaster Wil
lie Dodds entertained the audieno« with a
recitation whioh brought forth much ap.
plauue that was well morited. He certain
ly will make bis mark as a speaker some
day. Wm. G. Douthett was next on the
program and spoke on "Parent's Responsi
bility." He very soon impressed those
oresent with the fact that he was a clear,
logical thinker, and good thoughts well
expressed flowed thick and fust till the
close of his speech. Miss Jennie B.
Douthett followed with an essay on"W'hat
we owe Urasdtpa." Io ber own plain,
simple language, she told bow Grandma
was always read} and willing to minister
to the wants of all her grand-children and
concluded by saying that it was tne duty
of the grandchildren to do everything
possible to make Graudma comfortable in
ner old age. Nothing said or done touch
ed Grandma more than Lbjn short essay
from her little grand daughter.
Letters were then read from Dr. D. K.
Douthott, of lowa, and Mr?. J. F. Brittain
of Tennessee. Those letters brought to
mother the assurance that though they
ware absent in person they were pre-wnt in
spirit. They were an outpouring vf respect
and love which every child should .ho«
toward his mother.
A. M. Douthett closed the program,
•peaking on the subject of "Memories of I
Home."
I could o<>t close thin brief sketch or t'to
exercise* of the evening without making
mention of the fact that the program was
interspersed with muNic, Miss Minnie
Hamilton, one of the most estimable voting
ladles of oar vicinity, presided at the
organ in ft very pleading way as she is al
way* able to do.
The prenents that mother received on
this ooaftKßion were handsome and appro
priately selected.
I know that this meeting did mother a
wonderful amount of good, and I hope that
all children and grand-children present
were benefited by it and the outcome of it
may be att the years roll 'round and moth
er grow* older, love and attention for her
may pon»t' tly incr««»p, so mnch that she
may say tl.at her last days were her best
day*, an' may all of her children be ro»dy
to rise a and call ber blessed, and say
as the p< ct has said
we dwell apart,
Tb; laving words are wjtJi ever
more;
Thy precious, loving words. Thy hand
and heart.
And earnest soul ot love, are here im
pressed.
For me. a dear memorial through all
time.
• Mother' I cannot recompense thy
love,
But thy reward is sure, for thou hast
done
Thy duty perfectly, and we rise no,
And call thee blessed; ai.d the Lord
shall give
Thy pious cares and labors rich re
ward." A. M. D.
DETAILED reports from the recent floods
in the west show the railroad losses to be
something immense. On two railroads
alone the loss is over two and a quarter
millions and the Union Pacific, the report
says,suffered more than any other railroad,
its tracks from L"matilla to Portland still
being under water, and its loss being con
servatively placed at $1,500,000 to date.
The Northern Pacific's loss will be about
half that amount. A year will elapse be
fore the damage can be repaired.
Back to Harmony.
In holiday regalia and accompanied by
the cheering notes of their brass band, the
handful! of Economites now left returned
on Thursday to spend a day at their foun
der's old home, Barmony. There were
ten with President Duss, and only two had
ever seen the beautiful and fertile valley
in wbicb, over ninety years ago, Father
Rapp settled with his band from Wurtem
burg, Germany, and prepared to sow the
seed of universal brotherhood, and com
mon riches that he had so carefully ripen
ed in his benevolent but visionary brain.
Eight members remained at home, and
these together constitute the mighty host
who were to exemplify Rapps projects.
The band and Economites rode to Bar
mony, on Thursday, by the Perrysville
plank road, a distance of 22 miles. The
band rode in an old wagon built by
Jonathan Lenti at New Barmony iu 1823.
It was the most unique feature of the trip.
It took it 7 hours to make the journey.
President Dnss and the balance of the
Economites rodo in carriages and canopied
hacks. The women wore gowns of purple
silk, black bonnets, black capes and white
lace ruches.
The town was prepared for their coming
and was decorated with flags and bunting.
The conveyances lelt Economy at 7 a. m.
and drove to Barmony by tho Perrysville
plank road, a distance of 22 miles. It was
a slow, warm acd dusty drive. The band
was overtaken early in the forenoon. At
Zelionople the band played in the public
square. Harmony was reached at 1 o'clock.
The town was decorated with flags aud
many farmers had come in with their fam
ilies.
Mr. Duss, who wore a gold-braidsd cap,
formed his musicians in a circle in the
square, and they played a lively tune
Then everybody went after dinner. Mr. Duss
and the band lodged at the Behm Bouse,
while the other members of the party weut
to the Ziegler Bouse, kept by a great
grandson ol the man who bought Barmony
79 years ago.
In the afternoon the members of the so
ciety visited Father Rapp's seat, the old
graveyard and ihe ancient church. These
visits occupied two boors.
Iu the evening a conc<-it was given by
the baud in the public square before a
great concourse of people Mr. Duss per
formed a cornet solo aud George Fisher, of
Pittsburg, a clarionet colo. Short speech
es were made l>y 'Squire Niece, Rev. Mr.
Barter aud Mr. Duss
Although accompanied by an outward
show of so much that was lively and in
spiring. this pilgrimage was most pathetic
and arouses memories of the failure of a
groat undertaking. George Rapp's design
aimed at all that WHS good for his people
aud all people, aud fur a time the Barraou
ites prospered, but the greed and avarice
which Rapp fouud when he came in the
world were there when be left, and bis
gmnd design failed as all the other imita
tions did, when the magnetic presence of
the leader was gone
Barmony is 33 miles northwest of Pitts
burg, on the main line of the Pittsburg and
Western Railroad. It is a borough of 900
people, situated iu a beautiful valley on
the left bank of the picturesque Connoque
nesr.ing To the north of the stream, which
flows in a semi-circle around the town, are
considerable hills,forest clad, whence there
are splendid views of the beautiful farming
lauds to the south.
To this spot, then wilderness, went
George Kapp, the founder of the society, in
1803. The beauty of the land, its rich
meadows and great forests, its hillsides, fit
for vineyards, and its lovely stream aboun
ding in fish, persuaded him that h«re was
the ideal home for his people. He bought,
for a trifling sum, over 0,000 acres of land
on both sides of the stream, returned to
Wnrtemburg and two years later brought
bis followers to Harmony.
A town was laid out with two streets
crossing at angles, having a public
square at their intersection. Houses were
built ol brick burned in the vicinity. A
church and mills goon followed and the
community flourished. They planted vine
yards and made wine They grew barley
and hops and brewed beer; they got large
flocks ol sheep and made cloth in their
woolen iniil
Ten years, from 1805 to 1815, were spent
at this place. It was not accessible to
market. Teaming to Pittsburg was too
slow and costly. Besides, the grape did
not flourish there as the Uarmonites hoped.
It was decided to move to the Westward,
and a site was found on the Wabash river
in Indiana. The property at Harmony
was sold to Abraham Ziegler for SIOO,OOO,
a large part of which was paid in #ool.
The 900 members of the community went
by river in flatboats to their Western home
and established New Harmony. Ten years
they lived there, but many died from mala
ria, aud they returned to Pennsylvania,
establishiug themselves at Economy in
1825.
Many of ihe old houses still stand at
Harmony and are yet used as dwellings.
Their solidity of ooustruotion is remark
able. They are plaiu brick houses with
high yables. The door posts are of stone,
and over the door there are rude carvings.
Af.er some repairs tbe old cburoh is still
fit lor worship. It was damaged by the
great storm of 1850, whiob demolished
many frail structures. The old brick
woolen mill is a tenement.
On a gentle slope southeast ol tbe town
is the old burying ground. The German
inscription on tbe aruh over the stone gate
reads, "Here rest 100 members of tbe Har
mony Society, died from 1805 to 1815." It
is an inclose 100 to 200 feet, with its en
trance to tbe rising sun. Around it is a
wall of massive stone masonry, five feet
high. The gite is unique. Underaheavy
arch a gate made of one large stone swings
on a pivot in its oenter. On tbe face of
the arch is a white marble slab, bearing
the above inscription and texts of Scrip
ture in German. This wall and gate were
built in 1870. When completed many of
the members of the society visited the
place, but none of those who made the
trip were of that uumber.
Inside of the wall the sward is level.
There are neither grave mounds nor head
stones. This is tbe rule of the society.
Against the south wall lies one large slab
which outside friends had carved lor John
liapp, tbe son of the founder. The letters
on it are becoming obliterated. It was
with great difficulty that President Dnss
decipered the rude German in
scription, and gave the following transla
tion:
"Hore lien and renin the body of John
Itapp, born December 19, 178*, died July
27, 18X2. Here lien some clay of the pot
ter's wheel till dissolution liberates the
precious tout, which theu shall rine into
new light and gloiious lite."
In the center of the plot stand:! a large
pine tree. Along three wails are 12 other
pines, symbolic of the apostles Two
small cedar* are near the gate.

Festival.
The festival given by th > W. C. T. 17.
of West Liberty, Tuesday evening, June
14, was a grand success. It was held in
the Church grove, and everything was so
tastefully arranged and the grove so well
lighted, that it showed that the ladiex
had taken great pains to make everything
attraotlve; and it took only a glance to see
that everyone was enjoying the supper—
bnt while all nature isrejoioing why should
not we rejoice with joy and hilarity.
The boys seemed somewhat bashful at
first, but when they saw the fine display
of cake, strawberries, ice cream and lemon
ade they could not resist the temptation
to ask their lady friends to take supper
with them, and the eatables disappeared
very rapidly and when the supper was
over the ladies realized that they had tak
en in something over S2B.
Tbis Union was organised less than a
year ago and they seem to be earnest
workers. They set a noble example which
is worthy of imitation by anyone. The
ladies are working for a good cause and
they should be encouraged by the success
they are having; but tbey need the the co
operation of all who are working for the
temperance cause, and all should in some
way or other put their shoulder to the
wheel and help carry on the good work;
for all are require 1 to use their God given
powers; and for what noblter cause can we
put forth our efTorts than to wipe the rum
curse from our country. We sincerely
hope the ladies will ask God's blessing,aud
continue to carry on tbo good work.

OBITUARY SOTKS.
Ex Congressman "Tom'' Bayne of the
Allegheny district, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head, at his
home in Washington, la*t Saturday morn
ing. Be had returned the previous
evening in his usual health, bnt daring the
night had a slight hemorrhage of the lungs,
which, it is thought made lim fear con
sumption.
Jonathan Watson, whose career in the
oil region has been the most romantic of
any man who took part in the production
of oil, died at Clifton Spring. N. Y.. last
Saturday. Be was 75 years of age and
came to Pennsylvania about 1840. In
company with Lben Brewer, he purchased
large tracts of land near Titusville and
built saw mills at various places. They
did an immense business. In 1858 Colonel
Drake, the discoyeror of petroleum leased
a farm of Mr. Watson aud in 1859 the first
oil well was drilled cn Mr. Watson's land.
The tremendous excitement that followed
the discovery of oil made Mr. Watson en
ormously wealthy. Be sold his land to
eastern oil companies at fabulous figures.
A (arm known as Watson's flats.just below
that city.bringing one million dollars alone.
Be built a splendid residence there and for
years TO almost the autocrat of the city.
Bis first wife having died, he subsequently
married a girl who had been educated at
his expense and for a number ol years they
lived hsppily togettier, but the clouds of
financial adversity began to gather over
his head and it is said that he drilled oil
wells under spirit guidance. Dozens of
dry boles failed to dampen his faith in the
unseen influence which he claimed con
trolled him. and his money melted away
like water and the panic of 1573 still fur
ther crippled his resources.
