Harrisburg Notes.
The Stat* Legislature convened Wed
nesday, and quite a number of bills were
introduced in both branches; but the break
between Quay and Martin was the main
topic of conversation. Quay's rpeech in
the Senate; Martia's denial, Penrose's de
feat, Pattlson's probable candidacy, and
the possible results of the break were talk
ed about by everybody.
From a partial list of the Committees we
gee that Mr. Douthett is a meraoer of the
Appropriations, Agriculture aud Congres
sioual Apportionment Committed, and
Mr. Moore of the Judiciary General
The Text Book Trust formed under the j
new free school book law may be investi- i
gated by a legislative commission. It is |
said that it has already made a million
dollars off the State, and that bocks cost
ing but irom 3 to 8 cents were sold at 25 to
50.
IF the State Board of Health asks the
Legislature to establish a laboratory of
hygiene and bacteriology in this State, we
hope the Legislature will decide to do so.
Such an institution has long been needed
in Pennsylvania, and it is time something
was done. The proposition of the Board
to locate the laboratory in Harrisburg is a
good one, and the influence of the Board
will have considerable weight in deciding
that question. It is understood that one
of the things it is proposed to do in the
laboratory, it established, is to make the
new diphtheria remedy, anti-toxine. The
remarkable cure made by this remedy
ought to ga far towards securing Bome sort
of an institntion where it can be made,
and there could be no better place tban in
a State laboratory.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
Washington.
Senator Hill of New York surprised
everybody in Washington last Thursday
by taking dinner with President Cleveland.
This is not a case of a lion and a lamb ly
ing down together, but something might
be said about a tiger and a hippopotamus.
Congressmen Sibley and Kribba have
preferred charges again»t Collector Kearns
of the Pittabur* Internal Revenue office,
aud a special agent will investigate the
matter.
Sibley made a speech in the House Tues
day, in which he denounced Cleveland as a
despot, and intimated that he was a "com
bination of brains belly and brass,"
The sensation of Wednesday was Quay's
attack on Dave Martin, the Republican
leader ot Phil'a., in the Senate. He pro
posed an amendment to the income tax
law, and in his remarks upon it, accused
Martin of breaking faith with bim because
ha waa In the pay of a corporation. Quay
wanted Boi» Penrose nominated for Mayor
of Phil'a. and Martin turned Penrose down
and nominated War Wick.
THB meeting of the Lincoln League,
Tuesday evening was a well attended and
interesting one. Speeches were made by
Clerk Criswell and A. 0. Williams, an.l
Brother Tucker favored tbe audience with
a few songs.
DALZELL.
Philadelphia Timet, Washington Letter.
John Dalzell, of Pittshtrg, can wear a
:i„ Wiaca that tiwra u a haunt
New Year before him, for he is likely to
be chairman of tbe committee on
Ways and Means. If Julius Caesar
Burrows aball be elected to tbe
Senate, Dalzell will surely receive tbat
important chairmanship. Moreover, be is
bigenough man to fill the position to the en
tire satisfaction of his party. Have you ever
heard the rumor that if Keed cannot get
tbe Presidential nomination in 1896 he will
endeavor to throw his strength to Dalzellf
There is an undercurrent rumor to that
effect. Stranger things have happened.
Nobody ever dreamed of G»rfieM for the
Preaideucy until his friend Blaine gave tbe
word while the Republican national cou
rention was in session in Chicago in 1880.
A PPHAMKO calls for food and clothing
oome from Western Nebraska, where the
crops tbe past year were an entire failure
by tbe reason of the drought Relief is
going forward from many points, but it
Will bave to be prompt and generous or
great suffering and death perhaps will re
mit from tbe destitution of food and fuel
and the means of procuring them.
For Stock Kaieera.
Butler county stock raisers are begin
ning to realize the fact that they roust
either go out of tbe business of raising
horses or change tbe character of their
breeds. "Streeters" are no longer in it.
The cable and electric cars in the cities
bave almost altogether superseded the old
■tyle horses cars, and there is no longer a
market for this class of stock. Bui the ex
press companies, brewers an>l heavy freight
bauleis in tbe cities bave not lessened in
number, and they are always in the market
for heavy, well formed draught horses, and
the price* for tMs class of animals are as
Ugh, if not higher, than ever. Another I
obaracter of horses always in demand are
roadster*, from 10 to 12 hundred, well
made and proportioned. These are used
in liveries and for public and private car
riage riding. Horses suitable for this class
must be stylish, have fine action and live
ly spirits. Animals tbat meet these re
quirements always sell well, and extra
good ones bring a* big prices now ac they
did years ago when "times" were better.
With these things in view, stallion owners
are preparing themselves for the changed
condition of affairs and in four or five
years Butler county ought to be able to
meet all demands for the class of horses
indicated. It doesn't cont any more to
raise a marketable auimal than one that
dealers can find no use for.
THK war party seems to be |ilominant in

army will march tp Pekin.

The Grave Yard Case.
Judge Mebard's opinion in the grave j
yard case was filed in the Prothonotarys
office early this week. The opinion is ic
favor ot the school board and will result in
the old burial ground on McKean and
North streets being used for school pur
poses.
It will be remembered that nearly a
year ago, the school board of Butler, under
a general law, condemned the old grave
yard and took steps for taking possesion ol
it. This movement was fought by many
who had relatives buried in the cemetery
and the matter culminated in a lengthy
bill of exceptions filed by Col. John M.
Sullivan. Abram Martin, Thomas Martin,
Dr. Cooper McKee and Benjamin Bredin,
objecting to the use of the lot for Bcnool
purposes. Judge Mehard of Mercer was
asked to consider the case and his opinion
is very interesting, and of vital interest to
every resident of Butler.
After disposing of the several excep
i cions, Judge Mehard says:
"The exceptants do not claim to have
any title to the land, or
10 any part of the burial ground « hich the
petitioners seek to appropriate. They
rest their rights upon the fact that they
are citiiens of the borough of Butler aud
that some of them have friends aDd rela
tives buried in the ground. It does not
appear that any of the exceptants were so
related to any ot those whose bodies must
be disturbed by the taking of this laud,
that upon thein would be the right and
duty of caring to the remains.
It so, then it there were no authorities
to the contrary we would be inclined to
ibe opinion ttiat such exceptants would
nave standing to complain tnat no dam
ages or inadequate damages were a.* ardeu
10 them. Bui there are authorities to the
eoutrary. Tne right of the legislature to
order or authorize the removal of the re
mains ot the (*ead from burying grounds,
is based not only upon emiuent domain
bnt also on the police power of the state
The law does not recotjuiie a property
right in any one to the remains. A mere
of sepulcnre wiibout the laud
itself is regarded as a license or privilege
accepted and held for only so long as
the land shall be used for burial purposes
Hence when the state authornes the remvo
»l of tne dead from a burial ground and an
appropriation of the laud to a public use,
tnose v.'bo would otherwise have a right ot
sepulchre, or who have rel«*uveri l>Qri«d
iu such ground h»ve no property therein
that can be taken, injured or destroyed,
and therefore have no standing to com
p. ain of the amount ot damages awarded
or as to the person* to whom awarded by
the report of the viewers. "
We consider that the right is conferred
on school boards by the act 6 April 93,iu
clear and express terms, to take tor conj-
UIOJ school purposes ground kept as a
public burial place. " "
All exceptions having thus been dismiss
ed. the report of viewers u^ootirmed."
A bill of exceptions for the
exceptants aud the matter may go to the
supreme (Jourt.
THERE is at present a strange state of
affairs in New Foondland. About the
only circulating medium in the country
was the notes of two banks, and when
they closed down, before Cnristmas, tbey
stopped every form of trade. People with
hundreds of dollars worth of notes could
not get rid of them. The banks were
closed, business men would not take them,
and one could not even buy provision s or
fuel with them. This has substantially
continued up to the present.
Wild Cats.
Dr. Robinson of Bast Bady received on
Dec. 21st as a Christmas gift, the skin of a
large catamount, from C. P. McCafferty.
who is now at Diagess, W. \a. The "cat
was killed the Saturday previous after a
fierce struggle, within half a mile of the
Pearl Mining Go's store, and under very
pecnliar circumstances. It appears that
Mr. McCafferty was on bis way from the
mine—where he had spent the day seeing
that all the work was going on properly —
armed only with his dinner bucket, when
all of a sudden a yell which was hair rais
ing and blood curdling smote his ears, and
un looking ha found the rghl of way dis
puted by the monster. The aniniai u-a
seen bis image on the side o 1 the shining
bucket, and supposing that another cat
had come into the domain, yelled the yell
of defiance. There was no time to lose, it
was useless to turn back and retrace his
steps. If ever there was a time that a guu
was needed it was now, but as that was
out of the question, Mc. began a system of
maneuvering, all the time keeping one eye
on the cat and the other on an oak tree to
ward whicb he edged, until he reached it,
and that proyed his fortress of salety.
Watching bis opportunity he finally made
a grab at his catHbip, and with the "resol
ution of despair" in less time than we can
pen these lines, he had it by the bind legs,
dasbed its brains out against the tree, and
carried bis trophy to the store, where ii
wan "peeled," and from where it was ship
ped as above stated. It is believed to be
tbe largest animal of the kind ever Killed
except two. A few years ago John Robb
shot one near Kissinger's Mills which
measured 9 feet, 114 inches Tbe cat got
away and is said to be prowling around
in the vicinity of New Bethlehem. Some
say it was 10 feet, but John says there is
no use to lie about half an inch. Tbe oth
er one was killed by Mike Casey in Forest
county, but was not measured. However
it weighed 185 pounds This cat disap
peared in the tall hemlocks, and Mike has
been gradually growing bald ever since
We learn that about 137 ot these animals
have been killed witbui a radius of thirty
; miles of this place within past twenty
five years and are sorry wo have not space
to devote to many of the incidents con
nected therewith

A friend from Texas is all enthusiasm
over his state. In a talk the other day he
made many claims for the Lnno Star that
I could this column's veracity by
repeating. "Why," says he, "France is a
great country and has moulded centuries
of the world's historj, yet if Texas were a
circular lake and France a circular island
in it, it would be out of sight of the shore
all the wav round.

This spirit of love for ones state or
locality, bombastic though it m y be, is.
in the main, patriotic and more of it at
home would give this town the impulse
that its natural advantages warrant. We
have bad talk and we have had some work,
but the business men in general have left
the work to a tew public spirited citiiens.
In Butler, as in every other town, one
finds a class of men who know what ought
to be done, but do very little themselves
Such sieepy drones will do very well for
grave yards but it takes men of action to
make a town grow.

A gentleman with a fine horse of which
he isjustly proud was giving one of our
bicycle boys (who has figured in several
races) a little sleigh ride the other day,
and after an extended burst of speed,
asked, "What do you thiak of this, "Is'nt
it glorious" "Yes," said the bicycle boy,
'•but it seems a little slow" The fact is,
to one accustomed to a good wheel, and
not used to riding behind a horse, his
fastest gait seems unaccountably alow at
first and when it comes to walking up and
down the little hills, one seems to almost
stand still. Consider. The average pace
of even the ordinary bicycle rider on gen
eral roads is just about a* fa»t as an av
erage horse can tr-it. The ride in a cutter
over good roads and behind a fiet horce
■ seems slow to the bic>cle rider.
Did > oil ever nee a horse overtake and
pa.-n a bicycle!
A gad well on the hill south of town
gave another illustration of Butler couuty a
supremacy an an oil field. Last Tuursda-y
the lineman on approaching this well was
(surprised to find it flowing oil. It made
15 barrels at Ibe first gush and was
promptly plngged, to await further devel
opeinenis. This well has been supplying
gas to the oid company for live years. A
leading operator said nothing would be
done with it until the well to be drilled
on the flat is in.

He was an old croaker; he loved to com
