MARK*, Of Middlesex twp, NBWTOX BLACK, Of Butler. Harrisburg Notes. In the Ilou'e Thursday the Nickell bill amending the Constitution to abolish spring elections was defeated. The court ry members were against it. The bill to establish a State school directors' associa tion to meet oco« a year and allowing mil eage to the members was also killed. The bill providing for a Sealer of Weights wid Measures was passed on sec ond reading, with the understanding tba it would be amended on third reading to confine its operations to the cities. At a conference held by the Governor, Lt. Govenor, Att'y General, State Treas urer, the Speakers of the House and Chair men ol the Appropriation Committees Fri day night it was decided that there would be no National Guard Encampment, this year. On Monday it was discovered that the law of 1887 requires a state encampment each year, so that scheme lor saving mon ey to the state fell through. Tht, possibility of saying money on the guard having been knocked out the grang ers of the bouse are moving against the proposition to cut down the school appro priation $1,000,000. Monday night Mr. Bliss, of Chester, introduced a resolution asking State Treasurer Jackson to answer a few questions. It reads as follows: "First, the amount of cash now in the treasury, exclusive of t!.e sinking fund, and how much has N>en appropriated? "Second, th* amount subject to draft OB account of appropriations made which will probably be turned back because of the failure to draw appropriation^ "Third, the estimated receipt* for the next two years from all preaent source* of revenues? "Fourth, the amount of money that could be rained by a tax of 16 cent* per barrel on beer brewed in the utateT" Under the rules of the hoo»e the reso lution will have to lie over for a day. The beer measure *poken of is the Coch rane bill, which ii now in the way* and means committee. The granger* think it would produce an annual revenue of SI,OOO - Many of the members are denirou» of doing even better by raising the tax to 25 cents. The brewer* shipping beer into Pennsylvania from other state* cannot be gotten at by this bill, and the grangers now have lawyer* trying to figure out, a way to make the strangers pay the tax. Mr. Mia* i* aided by such strong men in the bou*e a* Nile*, Merrick and Moore. The fight promise* to be a bitler one. These gentlemen contend the state ha* plenty of money. Tbey say there U lot* of coin laid up in bank*, bnt for political reason s the administration d'es not want to draw this out. If the beer bill passes the (armors will agree to remove the one mill tax on manufacturer* and building and loan association* provided for in the revenue measure. Thi* would have brought In $400,000 a year, but a hard ele ment to battle with would be gotten out of tbe way. The granger* will al*o try to pa** the McQuown bill making it impos sible to change tbe text book* oftener than five years. Mr. Smith ol Bedford 1* greatly worked up over the cut in the school appropria tion. He come* to the front with a propo rtion to l*sue several million dollars' worth of bond* if nece*sary to get the money for educational purpose* Tbe gen tleman claim* the bonded indebtedness of Pennsylvania is only $6,000,000 now aud it ha* been op to $20,000,00) when the *tate wa* in poorer clrcnmstanoe* than at present Speaker Walton's bill to retire judge* on full pay after nerving two continou* term*, or 30 years, and having attained the age of 70 year*, passed tbe House finally by a rote of 107 or four more than wa* naces sary, Tuesday. End of Tbe Eastern War. The London Time* had a dispatch from Shanghai, Monday, saying that a treaty ef peace between Japan and China wa.i signed at Sblmonoseki. The dispatch i* is based on a telegram from the son-in-law of Li Hung Chang, who ha* been at SMm onosekl assisting in tbe negotitions. Tbe following are the terms of the con vention signed to-day by Li flung Chang on the part of China and Count Ito and Viscount Matsn on the part of Japm. Kirst—The Independence of Corea Second—That Japan retains the places she has conquered. Third—That Japan shall also retain the territory cast of tbe Liao riter. Fourth—That tbe island of Formosa be ceded permanently to Japan. Fifth—The payment of an Indemnity of $100,000,000. Sixth —An offensive and defensive al liance. Political Notes. The Republican* of Bradford county, in convention at Towanda, last Friday, un animously adopted resolutions declaring again*t any free silver declaration by the State Convention arid instructing the do legate' to do all iu their power against any snch move; also Instructing tbe representa tives in tbe liigislal'ir-i froui that county to vote against the bill pensioning Supreme Court Judge*. Gov. McKiniey of Ohio, returned to Columbus, last Saturday, alter a visit io Connecticut and Rhode Island, wheri lie seem' to lie very pouular. His reception ut Hartford, wan acuxpteil at Washington, a* plainly nhowiug two things -that tbe McKiniey presidential boom b»s a distinct status in New Kn*Und and ibat the livid is to be diligently cultivated. The Buck eye lavoiito was hailed at the banquet table as the next president of the United States, and the sentiment, according to the reports, wa* greeted with loud and prolonged applause. The response w»i in tbe governor's best style and tbe principle of protection dwelt upon with chararter istic earnest new, it was a McKiniey night of ternarkable hllariousness and encourage ment A visit to Massachusetts was to have followed, but this was cancelled ou account ol the governor's fatigue. He has not as yet entirely recovered form tbe grip, and returned home for a rest. The Bay sUte will see him later, and will give him, his friends *ay, a rousing sssurance of it* distinguished consideration. The latent dirk |hors« presidential can didate, bail* from I'tnnsylvama and i* fa miliarly known as John Wanamakcr. Ac cording to the *tory, as print- d, Mr. W»i>a maker wa* to have been President liarri ou'* legaloe at Minneapolis in lill/2 it it he- came apparent that the Indianian could not scctre a renomination. Now the ex-post msster-general is to be entered in the race next year with a view to receiving the sup port of Mr. Harrison and his friends when the proper time arrives. In ca-eMr. Wan amaker fails in his ambition he is to be taken care of under the following plan: Gov. Hastings and John Wanamaker have also formed an offensive and defensive po litical alliance, having for iu object the overthrow of the supremacy heretofore ex ercised by senators Cameron and Quay in Pennsylvania politics. If successful in the accomplishment of this purpose Mr. Wana maker would succeed Mr. Cameron in the United States Senate, and Gov. Hastings would be pushed to the front and occupy Mr. Quay's seat in 1899 Politicians in Washington do not regard the latter pro position as too unreasonable or chimerical. Tney argue that Senator Cameron's open and active advocacy of free silver cannot lie sustained at the present time in Penn sylvania, and that his defeat is a foregone conclusion. They say Senator Quay will exercise all of his influence and prestige to bolster up his colleague, but the weight is too great and he will be dragged down in the name political disaster which will over take Mr. Cameron. At the Veuango county primary, Satur day, B. F Gault of Oil City was nominat ed for Sheriff, and G. S. Crinwell for Judge. PetersstMe Items. The Easter services at the Petersville M.

But why should a municipality be com pelled to buy a water plantf Why should it not be free to say whether it needs the plautf Whether it is such as its people need, or as will properly serve their pur pose* In no other case is it compelled to act thns, individuals are not compelled to act thus. Xo gucn unreasonable restric tions are laid on the action of municipali ties or individuals in other cases. The ar gument ol the water companies is that they were induced to i;o into the business, to organize their companies and invest their funds, when municipalities were poor and unable to establish such works, and they invested for the benefit of the people of toe municipalities, and with the expec tation thit they would be remunerated by the incomes wtieu the boroughs or citie* increased iu -a-i and their works became profj table. Tois is uiere allegation, but is untrue ia fact as put. It is true they in vested theii Itinds. and in some cases wb->n tne municipality was small and poor, oul it was with t>>t! expectation the- would be reimourc-e lby this business, when it in creased, but it is untrue that they ever dreamed even at that tune that the muni cipality would, as such, reimburse them On the contrary their charters were ob taiued and corporations for.ned because the promoter* thought they sa oircums mice* They could not have sap posed so, tor tbere was no law on the sta'Ute Imok authorizing such a thing and there was no reason to suppose such a tbinff could he—that the people could be taxed to compensate th-m for any outlay for their plant, much le«s for any memly speculative or cousequeutial damages th«> might ibiuk they sustained. Theg« corporations enter on the i>u->in« s jast as an) I mines* man enters into auj business, or as any other corporation, Mian ofactarilig, gas, electric ligtt, street car or other corporation, with their eyes open, with full knowledge of the laws us tiiey move and of the rights and privilege* ot their corporations under those laws, will ing to assume the rinks, knowing that their business kas liable to the vicissitude*, the con tin e.icies ■nil uncertanties attending all busiiiens undertakings.

Mr. Martin was born May 2nd, 1833, and died March 16th, 1895; aged 61 years 10 months 14 days. The beginning of his sickness took place about mid-winter, when he contracted a very severe ccld, which developed into an almost constant cough and lung trouble. At times he seemed to rally aud give the most sanguine h >pes to his friends and neignbors that he would recover, but this most generally wan iollowed a more severe attack wtjicfi caused the anxiety of his fnends and neighbors to rise to the highest pilch. From better to worse he continued for two months, wfien about one day before his death he took a decided change tor the worse, and although everything possible was done bjr bis loving brothers aud sis ters, friends and family physician, nothing seemed to avail anything for him and he passed quietly away near the dawning of the day March 16th. Do we not believe and hope tnat it was a dawning of a new day, infinitely better, brighter and happier tnau any day that he ever ppent tiere below. Mr. Martin lived and died in the immedi ate community in which he was born, being the oldest of a large family ana nev er married. It was his privilege to be with that family until it was broken up by death and marriage, then he weut to hiii brother, Win Martin's, and made his nome there until toe tune of his deatn tie wan a consistent member id the Bro wnsdale U. P. Ohurcn and nothing bu' sickness deprived him <>l Lhe privileges ol the public nanctuary. In his death the church lias lost an houorod member; one who held the interest of his church at heart. Our entire neighborhood rises up to tes tily of the kiud disposition t.f our deparle i brother. I verily believe I never met any one more in touch witu the Golden rule (Do unto Others as you would have Oth ers do uuto you ) than he. No one ever ivoat to him for beli> bat what he receiv ed it. if it was ia his power to give Ux vi' a most pleasant neighbor all his life, ready and willing *o minister to hi.; neigh bors every want whenever called upon andl kus-v I sp.uk the truth when I say that he died without leaving an enemy o*ihind; a most precious record indeeil. A'hat a precious legacy this is to leave be hind. Who can estimate its worth or fathom its depth or measure its influence Thomas is gone but as the years roll on vou will ever find his "Foot Prints on the Sands of Time". Tie funeral services wore held in the Brownsdalo U. P. Church H'fV Oilfillan, his pastor for the past year was assisted by Rev* R P McOlestor, of Butler, a former pastor of his. Both spoke in high est term* in regard to the departed friend and brother. The church was filled with Iriends and neighbors who came that they might pay their last respects to the one they had known to love so well. Now to thes.i brothers, «:s»ers and friends who so Keenly felt ibe lons of this dep tried brother, l-i ine say. that God stands in the midst of all these sad Provi dences and bereavements ready and will ing to bind U|> the broken heart and stop the running tears, if we but trust him we can live in the happy anticipation ol some day meeting this brother in heaven.
