HASTINGS' DOINGS—THE WATER BILL VETO, ETC. The Governor's work on the 468 bills left in his hands by the legislature was finish ed at noon last Saturday, when the last batch was disposed of. A summary of the work of the legislature by Wilson M. Gerhart, chief clerk of the state depart ment, shows that 484 bills *ere approved as against 371 for the session of 1893 then the largest number approved under the new constitution, which shows an excess of 113 for the recent session. Before ad; ionrnment 24 bills vere vetoed and 96 after, which, with five partial vetoes,makes the total number 120. The total number of resolutions signed at the late seE *}°° was 68, as against 43 two years ago. One resolution was vetoed. Saturday after noon Deputy Secretary of the Common- Wth Harnett and Chief Clerk Gerhart read the proclamation of bills vetoed in the rotunda of the capitol. The twin electric light bills, the elig ious garb bill the Quay county bill, the Woods water bill and the question of keep ing the appropriations within the estimat ed revenue gave the governor something to think about. Many hearings were giv en on these bills and the letters and tele grams received at the executive depart ment would weigh a ton. At noon Sator day the last bill was acted on, and the force of clerks in the governor's office were not sorry. It tad been a month of hard work The Woods water bill, providing that municipalities should purchase existing plants before establishing their own, a measure that excited much attention, was vetoed for the following reasons: "The scope and intent of the measure are to so change existing laws as to pre vent competition on the part of cities and boroughs when incorporated water com companies supply water in such cities and boroughs. By the termß of the bill the municipality must purchase or condemn the works of water companies that may be supplying the public before it is per mitted to errect works of its own. This legislation is most important in its char acter and has received widespread con sideration bv the people of the state. The friends of the measure insist that it is necessary in order to protect invested cap ital against the competition on the part ot the municipality that might be such as to seriously impair, if not destroy the value ot such investments. On the other hand it is contended that to take away from cities and boroughs the power which they now have to furnish water for fire pr"tac tion and commercial purposes, would de prive them of an important municipal power necessary to secure the adequate supply of water and to protect the public from exorbitant charges, and while it is a power that may not be exercised yet should remain involant as protection to the citizens against the power ot private corporations. Under existing law there is no exclusive right vested in water com panies as against the municipality itselt. Sa that the approval of this bill wou.d work a change of the most radical kind and take away from cities and boroughs a right and power wbioh heretofore has been deemad wise that they should possess, and which in many instances have been exer cised. ~ , "The bill under consideration provides that: 'No city or borough shall hereafter construct any pipe, oonduit or duplicate system of distribution for the supply of water, or cause or procure the same to be done, or supply or cause water to be sup plied through any pipe or oonduit here after constructed in or along any htreet or highway or part thereof along which water is at the time supplied to the public through any pipe or conduit by any person or company lawfully authorized.' "There can be no mistaking the import of this language. The condition upon which cities or boroughs could supply water hereafter, should this bill become a law, would be the purchase or condemna tion of the water works already in existence in the municipality. It is true the bill pro vides that in condemnation proceedings the measure of damages to be considered and awarded by the viewers of jurors shall be limitoi to the 'actual value of the works or property so taken and acquired by such municipality', but it is olear under existing Uw that 'the works and property' would in clude not only the physical structures and appliances, but would also include the franchises of the corporation. It may have b««n intended by the use of the »:guage 'value of the works and property' that it should not be taken to include the value of the franchise, but under our law fran chises are property and no city or borough oould condemn and take a water plant without paying its value, which would include the value of its franchise. The effect would necessarily be, in many in stances, in case of condemnation, to im pose upon the people of the municipality burdens in the way of taxation U» pay not only for water works that may be unsuit able in kind, insufficient in extent and practically useless for the needs of the municipality, but also pay lor a franchise they now possess. I have patiently heard ana duly considered the very numerous and able arguments in favor of this bill, and while in a few instances municipali ties have not acted with fairness to water companies, and investors in such com panics may have suffered loss 4tet in justice they should not have yet I atn irresistibly led to the conclusion that, looking at the interests of all the people in all the cities and boroughs in the commonwealth, I should withhold ap proval from this bill. An article of such prime necessity as water should be the last subject in which a monopoly is per mitted. The pnblic health and the com fort of the individual citizen are involved in this measure and I cannot bring myself 1 to believe that any legislation should be permitted that would in any degree re strain the cities and boroughs of the state from conserving the one and promoting the other by proper municipal action." i The item of $250,000 in the appropria tion to the Western Pennsylvania iastitu tion for Feeble-Minded, for the construct ion and completion of a chapel, eight doable cottages and one industrial school, as specified in the plans originally approv ed by the state board of publio charities, is disapproved because the condition ot the revenues of the state will not permit this appropriation at this time. It pro rides for the erection and construction of new buildings additional to those now nnder contract. TUe bill to give preference of appoint ment or employment to honorably dis charged soldiers, sailors and marines who foaght for the Union caase in the late war of the rebellion, making a dis regard thereof a misdemeanor, punish able by a fin*, is vetoed. The governor •ays: "The effect of thin lobulation would be to require the bead of every depart ment of the state government and the contractors upon all public works of the Htate to preler, by way if appoint ment and employment, Union soldiers, tailors and marines, and would impose upon the heads of department* and contractor!! of public works the duty of determining whether or not age. loss of limb or other physical inpairment in fact incapacitated or disqualified them for the pretormance of the work im posed npon them, and a mistake of judgment in that regard is made a mis demeanor. It is now the polioy of the heads of the department of the state government, and should continue to be leir policy to prefer honorably dis charged soldiers and sailors in the se lection of their employees, but I deem it unwise in policy to require such duty by legislation and to impose penalties for its non-performance. The head of •ach department is made responsible for the administration of its affairs, and in the employment of bis subordi nates should not be hampered by legis lation of this character. The same is true of contractors upon public works Neither, in jiy judgment, should be subject to such provisions as are con tained in this act I do not )>eii> v- it to be in the interest of the best public services. JtKVV LAWS. Gov. Hastings approved the religious garb bill, which prohibits the wearing in the public schools by any ol the teacher* any dress, insignia, marks or emblems indicating the fact that such teacher is un adherent or member of any religious oryke is hired to teacb the Peters ville school next term. Pink eye is going the rounds in Peters ville. Quite a good many have to wear blae glasses. Oar post-office here changed clerks last week. Blanch McCandleas resigned and Miss Charlotte Black takes her place and hands the mail oat now. We are proud of oar post-oftiee here, we never heard of a single mistake that has been made in five year*. A. W. Kibold smiles once more. It in a girl. Robert Mc Kinney says come and see my boy. Gov. HAHTIKOR signed the bill giving Slippery rock Normal $25,000., and the trustees will immediately begin the erection of a boy'n dormitory that will equal, if not excel that of the girls. He veoted the Connoquenessing Hospital bill, because we allowed a similar appropria tion to lapse, and the Grove City armory and a number of other appropriation bills for lack of sufiicent fanda to meet them. The Cooper Reunion The 4th was celebrated by the neigh bors of Samuel ii. Cooper in Penn twp by a surprise party to the number of about two hundred, The table in the barn was fitted up with one hundred plates, and a patriotic and hungry crowd paid their reopects to S, 11. Cooper and family by eating a dinner not to be excelled in America W. 8. Dixon was president, Mrs Kennedy wa» Sec. and, John. M. Greer gave the history of the Cooper family, and made Sam oat a Welshman which wj* a surprise to the neighbors. It was a moat beautiful place to meet. The old residence «»f Isaac Sntton, deceased, who was ifi uucl-j "| Simeon N'ixon. riim was tiiere and gave IIJH history and good (jnalities »r the Saturn family, and placed a crown of wheat on S iui« head, and i'jvijrurated him King Samut-l the Third and declared bis wife to be Queen Saran. It was i,ue of the most enjoyable neigh borhood festivals ki own to modern times. Two bandred neighbors, men, women and children recorded their names in Sam Cooper's family bible lotever to bear testimony that, Ham Cooper was worthy the highest inl« known to humanity. O.VK town aimr another out west, is being d.atroyed by cyclone*. i WHK* Daniel Webster in ais eulogy upon John Adams makes that grand old patriot predict that the people of the Un.ted States would in the years to come celebrate the Forth of July by "thanks giving, by festivity, by boa-fires, and by illumination," he doubtless never dreamt that the "fire-cracker" would usurp the place of all such rejoicings. No prophet could have foretold that. It has come, bat should not stay. This is what Webster supposed Adams would have uttered in regard to the proper celebration ot the day of the Great Declaration: "Whatever may be our fate, be assured that this declaration will stand. It may cost treasure and it may cost blood, but it will stand and it will richly compensate for both. Through the thick gloom of the present I see the brightness of the future as the sun in heaven. We shall make this a glorious, an immortal day. When we are in our graves our children will honor it. They will celebrate it with thanksgiving, with festivity, with bon fires and illuminations. On its annal re turn they will shed tears, copious, gush ing tears, not of subjection and slavery, not of agony and distress, but of exulta tion, of gratitude and of joy." M. F. MSCHLIS was appointed Presi dent Judge of Beaver Co., by Gov. Hastings, to succeed Judge Wickham, who is a member of the Superior Court. if est Sunburn Xote*. Our town is very quiet at present, on account of the school not being ia- session; it closed June 27, and we are glad to know that it ranks in the history of the Aeademy as a very prosperous term. We regret the fact that we are about to lose Prof. C. B, Robertson, who has re signed the principalship of the instution to accept a position in the Indiana State Normal. He leaves our town with the go jd wishes of his many friends that suc cess may crown his work in the future as it has in the past. Sunbury is on the boom and vacant lots are in great demand. Our druggist, H. C. Hiniman has purchased a three hundred dollar lot on Main street, formerly known as the Jeff Allen tract, and oontemplates erecting a new drug store. J. P. Camp bell has erectel a new house over on the Avenue. We shall no longer see H. A. Sloan's barber pole hang out on the corner for he has broke ground fox a new shop and dwelling further south on Main street. M. Shorts is progressing with his new dwelling house, and will soon have a very fine structuie completed. We must say that we miss the students wending their way to and from the Acad emy on the hill. Our small boys have the base ball craze. That's right boys, play when yoa can, for when the large boys play you are not in it. The base ball club crossed bats with ffee Eau Claire club, on home grounds; Thurs day June 27, score, first game 12 to 1, second game 16 to 5, both games being in favor of home team. Hot stuff are nt they boysf so says Donaldson. Well say! were cot those strangers handed around during commencement week, especially the newly married couple. Why! they organized a band lor their own benefit. The young man from Portersville never engages on Sabbath to play ball on Mon day. Try him through the week, you may succeed. Sunbury no doubt is sporty —two livery barns doing all the business that their twenty head of horses oan stand, and many driving horses scattered through the town, one span cf grays that drove 65 miles one day and back the next, they are fine and getting tiner. Some one corresponding for one of the county papers on June 28, said H. C. Pry or's livery business must be getting slack. (Well! he was heard to remark, that if be could get the time he would like to col lect some of his last summer's bills that are past due.) Birthday Surprise A birthday surprise was given to J. 0. Watt of Tarentum in honor of his 70tb birthday, July 4th 1895. It will be re membered that J. 0. Watt was an old res ident of Buffalo twp. Butler county, and a few years ago of Butler Borough, living on Ziegler Ave. On the occasion men. tioned above he was made the recipient of many useful and much prized presents, among them a fine reclining chair. .Among tbo«e present were Robert Watson, wile and family, Mrs. Albert Schrader »cd Miss Verne Schrader of Butler, Mrs. P. A. Heed, Miss Ella Heed and Miss M. J. Sarver of Freeport. Dinner being {called all broke for the dining room, where a sumptuous spread awaited them, all went at it as if they meant business, giving ample evidence of good appetites and sound digestion, dinner over the parlor was lilled to overflowing where an hour or more was spent in social chat and banter telling humorous anecdotes and resurrect, ing old reminissenses. Mr. Miller an art ist being present, all were placed in front of dwelling and a picture of group taken, after which all took their departure wish ing the host many long years ot happiness and birthdays. K. "A Nigger in the Woodpile," Jacksville, July sth, 1895. —Ed. CITIZBW You say in your issue of June 27 that two odd returns have been made to the Court of Quarter Sessions for September term, from Centre and Worth townships. Now Mr. Editor we know nothing about the return from Centre township, but we do know some things in connection with the Worth township return, and when the proper time comes they will be all shown up. There is a negro in the woodpile, the wood will be located and the negro exposed. But you also say that this defendant has a lnmber yard and is piling lamber on the public road. This is not true, for the piece of road that is returned from Worth township is tbirty-five feet in the clear from tence, to fence,(not a stick or stone on it) and be fore this piece of road was broken last June, there was not a better piece of road in the twp. We will further say that the man that is returned for keeping aud maintain ing this nuisance is as good, quiet, civil and inoffensive citizen as we have in tbe township. f® c POWDER Absolutely Pure.

We are indebted to George lift, former- ! ly of this oounty, but now a citizen of the . new State of Idaho in the lar West, for a copy of'"The Pocatello Tnbunt," * paper of which he is part owner and publisher in the town of Pocateilo. The paper con tains much interesting news of that state. From it we learned that they had in June ; many and severe frosts, similar to the frosts ot the early part of June here, and doing much damage to orops, vegetables and so forth. But the most interesting article in the Tributw is an account of the orickets that seem to be a plague in that state. They infest it in great swarms and are more dreaded and more destructive to crops, grass, vegetables, and most every thing else, than the grasshoppers of other western states. The sqairrels, the Tribunt states are another pest and are very plenty there, and between the two, crickets and squirrels, the people have a pretty hard time of it. We hope however oar friend Ifft will survive all the e drawbacks at his new home and that he and his Tribune will live and prosper. Butler Twp., Scuool Account.
