THE CITIZEN lat«r*4 at Poctofflr* at Bitter ai 2d flaw uttUr WILLUI C. IMJLIT. - Pabliakar THURSDAY. JUNE 27. 1895. REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET. FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. A. M. CHRISTLEY. FOR COCNTY SURVEYOR. FRANK E. McQUISTION. The Nation'* Birthday. It was on July 2 that the Continental Congress adopted the resolution offered by Lee, ot Virginia, to the effect:— "That these United colonies are, and, of right, aught to be free and independ ent States; that are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is and aught to be totally dissolved." On July 4 the Declaration was adopted and from that time forth the United States were independant of King George and all his heirs and assigns forever. We washed our hands of him, and it was a pretty hard job, too, for George was not the kind of man to yield gracefully. He thought we could not do without him, but we have managed to worry along, and now rank among the great nations of the earth. The American eagle has a right to scream. The devolpment of this country has been no •mall thing. It was not done in a corner. From a mere handful of people stretched along the Atlantic coast, only 3,929,214 in 1790, we hare grown to a nation of 65,- 000,000. Our quarrel with England, as the wits of the day had it, was as follows: Rudely forced to drink tea, Massachusetts in anger. Spills the tea on John Bull; John falls on to bang her. Massachusetts, enraged calls her neigh bor to her aid, And gave Master John a severe basti nade. . . Now good men of the law, pray who is in fault, The one who began or resents the assault? Every child to-day knows who was in fault, and as the national celebration be comes more and more, as the years roll on, the great Summer festival, even in their lightest amusements, child and sage, young and old, exemplify the freedom under which they live, secured by the blood of the fathers. The dark days are no more, and the days of lightness are our own heritage, The thirteen States have increased to fourty-four, and the American has cause to glory in the Stars and Stripes and what it represents. As Washington ■aid in his Farewell Address: "Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name AMERICAN, which belongs to you in your national oapacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism moie than any appellation de rived from local desorimination s." KAISER Wilhelm has good reason to feel satisfied with the success that has attend ed the inauguration of Germany's new ship canal. Everything has passed off without a hitch of any kind; from first to last the festivities were tbe occasion of cordality and good will. Why Independence Day is Celebrated on July Fourth. Did you ever here how it happened we celebrate July fourth rather than some later day? For days the members of Con gress had differed over the terms of the Declaration. As the hot summer weeks progressed, windows were opened, much to the delight of the mosquitoes and Hies of a neighboring stable. The stockinged calves of congressional legs were assailed daily by the diminutive combatants, until at last the pflrnistenny "oust stub born member was worn out on the fourth day of July. Now that the struggle was over the members became hilarious in their good nature. John Hancock dashed down his great signature in Bach shape "that George the Third might read it without his spectacles." "Now we must hang together." it was remarked. "Yes," said Franklin, "or we shall hang separate ly-" THE full text of the new law providing for the oompulsory education of children will be found in our columns this week. The act si of. special interest to School Directors, Assessors and teachers, and it will attract the attention of all intelligent citizens. Prospect Squibs. Look and peruse that:— J. M. Leighner, wife and friends of But ler, made our town a call recently, and Mr. Leighner drove his friends arouud to •how them our pleasant town. Miss Edith Moore, of Grant City, was the guest of Miss Sue English, not long aince. John Weigle, who pumps at Coopers town, visited kis father, Charles "Weigle, a short time ago. After a two months trial of the high winds in tbe west, John Riddle has come back to old Butler county, which, after all U about tho best place. Elmer Grant has moved bis umily to Cooperstown, where he has been pumping for some time. The M. E., Presbyterian and Lutheran churches observed Childrens' Day a couple of Sabbaths ago. The exercises were in teresting and instructive. Those who were examined for diplomas last spring nave received them at last, and a great big pleasant smile creeps over their face in consequence. Frank Cratty, who recently resigned his place at John McLure's, has been super seded by the old standby. Marshall Owen. The South Penn Oil Co., will soon drill their No. 2 on the Jaß. Forrester farm. Clarence Caldwell, of Saxonbnrg, was the gaest ot R. Shanor, a few nights ago. We understand that Clarence now writes "M. D." after his name. Sucoess to you. Seward Hays and wife, of Allegheny, visited their brother J. Park Hays, last week. Mrs. Hunter recently gave a social in honor of her guest, Miss Hays, of Butler. Many beans and belles walked down to the social, and report an excellent time. Miss Birdie Bryan, of Isle, is working for Mrs. Jas Barr, at present. Mrs. T. H. Boehm was in Pittsburg on business, a few days ago. Rev. Stahlman preached the baccalau reate sermon in the U. P. Church, last Sunday evening. The graduates are; John Roth, Curtis Robb, Newt Riddle, Chas. Blake, Jennie Yoang and Weltha and Lottie Blair. John Roth and his sister Eva, entertained the graduates on Friday eve., Jane 21st, in a royal manner. Upton Roxberry has been low the past week with bronchial and heart trouble W. E. Ueyl and Jessie Barkley were married Thursday. June 13th, by Rev. Stahlman. The young couple have the best wishes of their many friends. Scott Kelly visited a friend, in Harmouy last week. Mr. and Mrs. Ooherman, ofPhiladelphia, are visitiug their cousins Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Boohm, of the Prospect Hotel. The students pic-nicked at McConnell's Mills, Slippery Rock, Monday week ago. H. W. Langherst offers bis fine reni denoe on Pittsburg St., for sale. Mrs. John Grossman and Mrs. Snyder, of Brady twp , visited John Shaffer and wife, last week. John Itoth and Os. Shaffer have agreed to <">a*e using tobacco for one year, on a forfeiture of $lO. by tho one that com mences first. The boys say they will bet boans against but'ons that Os. "will have the $lO to pay. JOCOSITY. Political Notee. A merry war is being waged for the Chairmanship of the State Committee, and control of the State Convention, which meets in Harrisburg, Aug., 28th, 1895. Senator Quay announced his candidacy last.week; and the Magee-Martin combine favor the re-election of Gilkeson. The rules now provide that the perma nent chairman of the convention and the state candidates select the chairman of the committee. Quay was in Philadelphia last Friday, and that evening announced his candidacy over his signature as follows:—"I am a candidate for Chairman of the Republican State committee, and if I have any friends in Pennsylvania I ask them to stand by me at this time. I will mention the rea son far this on the floor of the State con vention." The oddest thing about this formal declaration was the change made in it. At first he asked his friends to stand by him "in this crisis." Several hours later this was changed to read "at this time." There was no hiding the fact that Quay was greatly chagrined by the power ful gathering of city and State leaders at Morrellton Inn that night, nearly all of whom were his former supporters. Monday night Gov. Hastings announced his candidacy for permanent chainnan of the state convention and that he was for B&nk Commissioner Gilkeson for re election as chairman of the state commit tee. The governor also stated that he would be a candidate for delegate to the convention from Center County. The govenor's declaration was made after he and Attorney General McCormick had called upon with Senator Quay. The Beaver senator is confined to his room at the Lochiel with a badly swollen foot as a result of an accident last week at Brigantiue while fishing. He was under the care of a physician and has to be carried about his apartments. He did not leave his room all day. Quite a number of citizens of this county have received notes from Senator Quay, type-written at the Hotel Metre pole, Philadelphia, and reading as follows.—"There may be a contest in the State Convention to meet August 28, and as I expect to attend as a delegate from Beaver I trust the delegates from your county will be friendly. For any assistance yon may render in this direc. tion I will be greatful. If yot are able to attend, and I hope yon may be, I shall be pleased to meet you there a day or two in advance of the date named. "M. S. QUAY." On Tuesday nothing was done; Hastings was busy in his office, and Quay entertain ed his friends in bis room. The names of tho Superior Court Judges were not announced vest rday but it is expected that they will be to-day. Among the letters of regret read at the Cleveland convention was one from John Grant, chairman Texas state executive committee: ' The regular Republican organization of the Lone Star state sends greetings to the Republicans of tbe nation, assembled there, of all colors, without distinction. We are for protecting America and Amer icans; we are for maintaining a 100-cent dollar, white, yellow or green; we are for Republicans, whether white, yellow or black; we ate for the Constitution and the red, white and blue." What a lot of candidates and prospective candidates there are for State Senate. Here's the list so for as heard from—W. H. Hitter, J. M. Leighner, David B. Douth ett, W. H. H. Riddle, A. G. Williams J. D avid McJunkin, William Irvine and W. C. Thompson. After battling with the silver question for two days at Cleveland, last week, the Herniation Committee of the National League called it a draw, and ignored the issue. Newt. Black attended the conven tion'as a delegate, and Roy Christley as a visiting statesman. Carlisle won a great victory at the Ken tucky Democratic convention, Monday; the Gold Standard men carried eight of the eleven congressional districts. The Clearfield Co., primary was held Monday, and the delegates elected are for GilkesoD; these of Franklin Co., elected same day were said to be for Quay. Gov. Hastings did not announce his appoint ments for the Superior bench, as was ex pected. The Democrats of Bntler county, in their recent convention, passed a reso lution in which they arraigned the Re p nblican party ot this State "for its leg islation in favor of cor porations and against the interest of the people." This ia truly refreshing, coming as it does trom a party that has but recently com pleted gigantic back-door deals with the Sugar Trust, and whose President, after keeping a notorious corporation lawyer in the office ot Attorney General, has promoted him to the head of the State Department, filling his place with a lawyer who is counsel for half a doz en railroads and other corporations. The spectacle is that of a bleary old gam bler, wilk packed cards stiking out of his sleeves, leering across the table at his apponent and scolding him for not playing fair. — Franklin News.

One of the most charming events of the season occurred on June 13th at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Barkley, of Franklin it being the marriage of their daughtei"Te*aie to Mr. W. K. lleyl, of Prospect. A large number of their friends and relatives were present to wit ness the ring ceremony.

The bridal couple were attended by Miss Clara, sister of the bride, who wore blue silk with lace, and Mr. J. H. Pontius, of Chicora. Solemnly and im pressively the young couple were united in the "holy bonds of matrimony." After congratulations had been tendered Mr. and Mrs. Heyl, an elegant wedding din ner was served after which the day was spent in social conversation and music.

[Franklin papers please copy.] LOWRT —At bis heme in Bctler,June, 24, 1895, Col. Alexander Lowry, in his 82d yew. The death of Col. Lowry, has removed from our midst one ot the oldest and most highly respected citizens of the place. For over forty years he has been closely identified with the business interests of Butler and he has left behind him an ex emplary record of business integrity. During most of tins period he was con nected with one of the most popular hotels in Western Pennsylvania Thus the circle of his acquaintance was widely extended, and wherever known he had warmly at tached friends. With a quiet undemon strative nature, he combined a genial, cordial, winning manner, that most favor ably impressed those who knew him b6Bt. He aimed to hold an ardent and sensi tive temperament, under wise control. Energetic and untiring, prudent and sa gacious in business pursuits, he became a successfnil business man. He was an ac tive enterprising citizen, whose influence was always exerted in favor of public im provements. His judgement in business matters was safe and reliable, aud waa often consulted. His wonderful vitality could not always be chained down to busi ness pursuits, but at four score he retain ed all the zest of enjoyment of youth, in the pleasures of the road, the field or the chase; and when the hand of disease bore down heavily upon him, the same vitality struggled bravely for the mastery to the last. Col. Lowry was a member of the Pres byterian church, faithful in attendance on its services and liberal in its support. He iived to a good old age and is gathered to his Fathers, and his bereaved family Lave the sympathy of the whole comunity. He was born in Blair Co., Feb. 18, 1814, and moved to this county in 1850.

Bojws & Buhl, ALLEGHENY. PA. NEIGHBORHOOD MOTBS. Official information has been received at Pittsburg of the death of Frank G. Lent who left the oitv on his bicycle, May 15 1882 for a trip around the world. He was murdered by Kurds near Defer, about 50 miles East of Erieroum in Syria. The barn-burning case tried in Kit tanning last week fell through. The Press says: "The interest in this case had been added to owing to the fact that James Stitt, one of the parties accused ot burn ing the barn, had hung himself the week j before, and many who believed hiin inno oent, after this action, joined in with popular prejudioe and were inclined to believe him guilty. A Mrs. Stitt, a cousin of his by manage, also dropped dead when Constable McCallister went to sub poena her to tppear at March court. Thus the greatest interest was taken in the case and we might say that it went to trial with the prejudice of the community against the defendants, we Bhould say defendant, as James Stitt being dead, Thos. Olinger was the only defendant in the case. After hearing a host of wit nesses the evidenoe produced was of such a weak nature that when Judge Ray burn stated he would instruct the jury not to consider Neale's confession the counsel for the brosecution agreed to let the jury returned a verdict of not guilty and the county pay the costs. This was agreed to by the defense after prosecution agreed to drop its suit for damages. Neale, the self confessed criminal, who accused Stitt and O'inger of burning the barn to gether with himself, ,taad toll so many different and conflicting stories that his evidence could not be taken. While Olinger has been acquitted the mystery has not been solved. At the Warren centennial celebration, July 3 and 4, a village of 200 Cornplanter Indians (the tribe which "fished, fit and bled'' in that section before the whites came upon the soene) will be on hand and partisipate in the parade, eto. Standing on their heads, in large, rough boxes, packed behind immense tiers of canned champion green peas and appri cots, in the darkest aud most uninviting section of the fifth floor of the Union Storage companie's warehouse, on Liberty St. iu Pittsburg, are two Egyptian mum mies, sent by Andrew Carnegie, from the laud of the Nile, for the proposed musium in the Carnegie library at Schenley park. They are supposed to be the remains of a mighty king and queen who flourished centuries ago, but no human eye has yet penetrated wrappings that enshroud them. A terrible accident was averted lately at Wilkesbarra, this State, by the presence of mind of an operator in the employ of the Central railroad of N'ew Jersey. A heavily loaded car broke lioae from its fastenings and dashed down the mountain side at the rate of a mile a minute. A passenger train was about due, and the operator realizing that a collision was ineventable, ordered out a switch engine to be run out to meet the runaway car. The car was stopped, but the engine was completely demolished. A big Btorm passed over the Southern part of the county yesterday afternoon a nd is reported several rigs were, blown down. D L.
