JAMES S.BEACOM. JTOT COMM'SSIOHEK. A. 0. EBtEHABT. HARRISBURG. Cn Thursday the 2nd inst. Gov. Hast iugs sent his private Sec re tan - to Sec y of the Commonwealth Reeder at Eas ; ton with a note requesting his reeigna- j tion; the two men met in Harrisburg last Wednesday and talked the matt, r over, and as Hastings would not recede from his request Reeder wrote his resig nation and the Governor accepted it. Reeder s resignation is directly due to his signing a bond of indemnity to the state Treasurer for money paid to people who were not entitled to it. Commenting on the affair the Pitts- Bhrg Dispatch says: The disposition in some quart rera to treat the cause of the Governor's action in requesting this resignation as a mystery emulates the tactics of the ostrich in hiding its head under the sand. The cause of the action is appar ent to every man who keeps posted with regard to current events. It is that Secretary Reeder was a party to an arrangement to draw money from the State Treasuary without warrant of law, and for the benefit of political favorites, by joining in the signing of a bond to protect the Treasurer in illegally paying out the money. When a State official has participated in such an un blushing raid on the State funds the re quest for his resignation is the mildest treatment that can be accorded bv a superior with any conception of public integrity. Governor Hastings has shown the same true appreciation of public duty in causing this retirement that he did in vetoing the original steal. It is taken as a matter of course that the resignation of Deputy Attorney General Elkin will follow. If the Re publican organization of the State is willing to bear the reputation of indors ing the raiding of the Treasury to pay sinecure salary to politicians without the slightest color of law it will not be material whether Mr. Elkin retains his position as Chairman of the party organ ization or not. It is to be regretted that similar power to call for the resig nations of such officers as the State Treasurer and Auditor General, who participated in the illegal use of public funds, does not also lie with the Gover nor. But as there is little hope of that complete discipline the necessity of more fundamental work to divorce the State Treasury from the plunder of politics is apparent, The Phil'a Press says: ' 'Gen- Reeder, upon the request of the Governor, has resigned the office of Secretary of the Commonwealth. Gen Reeder made the grievous mistake of putting his name on the bond. He was not the only signer, but it was his spe cial misfortune in, that capacity, like that of Deputy Attorney General Elkin, that they were in the position of confi dential advisers of the Governor: thej* were members of his offical family: their signatures implied a pledge of in fluence to induce his approval of the padded pay roll appropriation , and in committing themselves to such a step, *"' whether thoughtlessly or not, whether under political constraint or 1 "*"- - just relations to their chief. Gen. Hastings named Col. James H. Lambert, Insurance Commissioner for the place, but Col. Lamburt declined, and his declination was a snprise as it is worth about $20,000 a year—the best paying office in the state goverment. On Monday the place was offered to David Martin, of Philadelphia, and ac cepted by him, and Mr. Martin is now Secretary of the Commonwealth, and by virtue of his office a member of the Board of Pardons. # Attorney General McCormick asked for the resignation of Deputy Att'y Gen. Elkin, and named Wilber F. Reeder of Bellefonte as his successor. The cor spondence that passed between them appears in another place. On Tuesday Gov. Hastings named Wm. W. Porter, of Philadelphia, to succeed Judge Williard, who resigned, in the Superior Bench. At the meeting of the Capitol Comis sion, Thursday all the plans for a new capitol were rejected, the resolution I providing that all the plans be sent back to the competing architects. The resolution further provides that "in order to procure a satisfactory design with the least possible further delay, the secretary is hereby author ized to notify all architects who have previously submitted designs, that the commisioners will, at the Excutiye de partment, Harrisburg, Pa., on the 20th day of September, 1897, at noon, receive such designs for the building mentioned in aforesaid program as they or any of them may then desire to submit." The vote in the resolution stood 4 to 1, Gen. Hastings voting in the negative, and when the vote was announced he left the room. The commission is composed of five members, four Quayites and Governor Hastings. For apparently no other reason than to "get even'' vith the governor for the very proper dismissal of Secre tary Reeder, the commission upset all the arrangements so far made, and so far as it is in its power violated the plighted faith of the State and subject ed it to claims for damages. The com mission invited plans for a capitol build ing within the limit of $530,000 appro priated by the Legislature. Thirty plans were submitted and referred to a board of exerts designated by the com. mission. Two plans were thrown out by the board as in violation of the pro posals, and it then considered the 28 re maining, spending 10 days in their ex amation. The board, as Governor Hast ings says, included three of the most distinguished architects of the country. It was selected to deal with technical matters of which the five members of the board, being politicians and office holders. had no adequate knowledge. This, it must be admitted, was a proper proceeding and precisely what any citizen contemplating fin expenditure of half a million of dollars on a building would have adopted. But in a fit o£ spleen and anger and a desire to "get even" the commission has by formal resolution "cancelled and annulled"the provisions of "the competitive pro gram". Governor Hastings says of this action in the protest he filed that it will "Plnnge this commission into a legal struggle of which we will not see the end during our terms of office, not one of ns. This action will mean that we will have no capitol for the next Legis lature; that we have turned our backs ttpon our word of honor, and tliat we I hav 1 broken our promises tc ill com pet J itors. I hope yon will not take the step I warn yon of the pitfalls yon are preparing for yourselves. It will sub ject this commission to pnblic criticism that, nnfortnnately for us. will be just.

Several hundred Republicans of Allegheny county, who have heretofore worn the Quay tab, met in Old City Hall, Pittsburg, last Saturday evening, and organized a new party which they call the "Independent Re publican ' party, and nominated W. R Thompson, said to be a first-class man, for State Treasurer. They also made arrangements for .1 state organization and for securing a place on the official ballot. Their object is, evidently, to punish Quay for his faithlesness to them by de feating his friend Beacom, now on the regular Republican ticket. Previous to the meeting there was an unique street parade of some forty or fifty men in blue jeans blouses, intend ed as a travesty on one of the celebrat ed catch words which Quay used in his fight with the Combine. They were under the command of J. T. Hudson and were led by the Second brigade band. They marched froiu Sixth street ont Liberty to Sixth avenue, by Grant to Fifth and down Fifth to Market and the hall. Stops were made in front of some of the nswspaper offices where red fire was burned. They attracted a great deal of attention on Fifth avenue and when they reached the hall were cheered by the audience which had as sembled there. The banners which were carried were placed around the hall and made an attractive addition to the decorations. One of them declared "The People Can't be Fooled Again," and the legend on another was The men in blouses are for an honest man for State Treasurer, W. R. Thomp son." At Easton, last Saturday. Gen. Reed er. late Secretary of the Commonwealth and Webster Weiss, member of the legislature were arrested on informa tions charging them with conspiring to gether to defame the good name of John Wanamaker.

Found to t>e Glanders. (Pittsburg Times, of Monday.) Dr. R Jennings, Jr.,veterinary surgeon who went to Butler county last Friday to investigate a sensational story of a horse having glanders and communicat ing the disease to human beings, has returned and states that matters were even worse than at first reported. He says there seems to be no doubt that the diseased horse gave the awful disease to two people, who died a horrible death some days later The horse was own ed by Mrs. Mary Duncan, who keeps a small store in Efntler, and the two dead were her son and daughter. Suits are Sromised against the man who sold Mrs. uncan the horse. Dr. Jennings story of the affair is as follows: "A few weeks ago James Duncan, 20 years old. and his sister Nettie. 16 years old, were taken suddenly ill. Their bodies became covered with a mass of discharging sores. They died soon after, within two weeks of each other. Drs. Graham, Byers and Hoover, prominent physicians of Butler, held a consultation ana decided that the disease was glan ders and that it was contracted from a horse. This horse was al>out nin.i miles out of the town, 011 the farm of young Ducan's father-in-law. The girl was v'siting on the farm, and she and her brother drove to a party. Both handled the horse in hitching and unhitching. A few days latter they become ill. "I examined this horse Friday and found it in the worst stage of glanders. The case had evidently been chronic for a long time. I ordered the animal shot which was done. Bowser Bros., attor neys. of Butler, informed me that suit will be brought against the man who sold the horse to Mrs. Duncan. He is John W, Titley, of Millerstown, the former owner of the great pacer, Star Pointer." In speaking of tlie dread disease, Dr. Jennings said; "There is no disease more horrible. It eannot l>e cured, and is is worse than leprosy. It acts ranch the same, bilt is quicker and more vio lent. The whole body becomes one mass of boillike sores, and the victim suffers fearful agony There is a difference of opinion as to the contraction of the disease, which is simply the worst form of blood poisoning. Some bay it is in fectious, other* say it is contagions. When the microbe touches an opening in the skin tho disease in sure to follow. There is no hope for the victim. "This horse was one of those that could have the disease and communicate it to many other animals and human beings and still live to see them all die. Another case of the kind happened at Mc'Keesport about 15 years ago. Four teen horses were ordered to be killed. One was over looked and was sold to a man back of Mount Washington That horse lived to see every other one in the stable dead before the desease was dis covered. People don't seem to realize what a te rible thing it is. Leprosy and smallpox are nothing to compare with this desease. The phvsiciant> tell me that they never witnessed such horrible scenes as the deaths of young Duncan and his sister." A Phenomenon A strange fruit can I** semi growing on a Maple tree in the yard of David Hoover of Mechnnicsville, Fa. Last spring Mr. Hoover concluded to spray a plum tree which grew iu close prox imity to a maple. A short time ago while looking oyer the maple he saw a bulb like growth that resembled egg plant and itpou he discov ered that the globe like productions wert filled with a liquid resembling maple syrup. The fruit grows in great pro fusion. hanging from the point of the branch by long slender stems. The fruit ie of n rich, dark, wine color. Those who have tasted pf it consider it the finest kind of maple syrup. t}ci»m tiftc men claim that when spraying t&v plum tree the spraying flnild carried the pollen of the plum to the maple, which was in blossom at the time, and caused the maple to produce the above results. SIMON PURE. The Miners' Strike. The opponentsof thesettlement of the miners' strike at the 65-cent rate won a preliminary victory in the convention at Columbus yesterday; bnt after fur ther argument the counsels of the na tional officials prevailed, and a much more decisive vote authorized the set tlement, the strike to l>« continued in all districts not agreeing to that rate.— Sunday's Pittsburg Dispatch. The miners were digging coal for .">4 cents a ton. they struck for 69 and get 65. an increase in their wages of twenty per cent. This is a great victory for the miners; they will now get the highest wages which it is possible for the operators to pay and also make anything out of the business for themselves. Like every thing else now, labor does not command as high a price as it did several years ago. It is also a great victory for the prin ciple of arbitration for the settlement of all disputes among any classes or states. The officials of the miners and operators deserve great credit for the peacable settlement of this general strike, one that was exceedingly diffi cult to manage. It is also a stunning blow to the calamity howlers who pre dicted all kinds of disasters to these United States because of the victory of the gold standard and Republican prin ciples last November. It is s;i4 that the successful conclu sion of the strike should be marred by the tragedy at Hazelton. Pa., the result of lawlessness and disorder of those who suffered. It reminds one of the battle of New Orleans, a great shedding of blood after the treaty of peace was signed. DDUNG a riot at La timer, Carbon Co., in the Anthracite coal region last Friday the Deputies fired into the strikers, killing 20 and wounding 40. At midnight Gov. Hastings called out the Third Brigade of the National Gnard to rendezvous at Hazlcton. McCormick and Elkin. "Harrisburg, Sept. 9, 1897. "HOll. John P. Elkin, Harrisburg, Pa.: "My Dear Mr. Elkin—l respectfully request your resignation as deputy at torney general. Very truly youis, "HENRY C. MCCORMICK." "Mr Elkin's reply follows: "Harrisbury, Pa., Sept. 10, 1897. "Hon. Henry C. McCormick, Attorney General. "My Dear Sir —I am in receipt of yonr communication of the 9th instant, "requesting my resignation as deputy at torney general, and I hereby tender the same," I desire to return my thanks for many kindnesses and courtesies re ceived at your hands while officially connected with your department. In as much as we have never had any dif ferences, so far as I am aware, except those of a political nature, I feel that I am entitled to know the reasons which actuated you in making your request. I ask this not only for myself, but for the information of the public. Very respectfully yours, "JOHN P. ELKIN.'' Late tonight the attorney-general mailed the following to his former dep uty: "Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 10, 1897. Hon. John P Elkin, Harrisburg, Pa "My Dear Mr. Elkin—l am in receipt of yours of today, tendering your resig nation as deputy attorney-general in response to my letter of the itth inst. "In accepting your resignation it is due to you to say that you have per formed your official duties in such a manner as to meet my approval and to deserve commendation. "I reciprocate what you say with re gard to our personal relations. They have been agreeable to me and 1 am glad to know that they have been equally so to yon. "In requesting your resignation I hoped that I ffnnU not l-» oUi«oa tu assign my reasons, but your letter asks that they be given, therefrom you say: 'lnasmuch as we have never had any differences, so far as I am aware, except those of a political na ture, I feel that I am entitled to know the reasons which actuated you in mak ing your request. I ask this not only for myself, but for the information of the public.' It is scarcely necessary for me to say to you that our differences of a 'political nature' have no bearing whatever upon the question. I have conceded to you, as I would to anyone, the right to think and act politically as he may deem best. This is proven by the fact that you have continued as deputy attorney-general for more than two years since the 'political differ ences' arose to which you refer, and which were full}- discussed and under stood by us so long ago as the summer of 1 895, and in my mind they did not then, and never have since, furnished any sufficient ground for the severance of official relations. It was yonr priv ilege, as it was mine, to think and act as you pleased in regard to differences existing in our Own political party, and I desire, once for all, to disabuse your mind of ar.y thought that such a reason could have prompted my action. "The attorney tceneral and his dep uty are the official advisers of the heads of the executive departments of the state government. I conceive it to be my duty and yours to see to it that the Constitution is obeyed and the law ob served. It appears, however, that, not only by your own admission to me, but by what seems to have been an author ized and authentic interview widely published throughout the state, yon saw no impropriety in joining with other public officials in an obligation to the state treasurer during the last ses sion of the legislature, to protect him ngainst the payment of moneys from the state treasury not authorized by law. This was in effect, and so intend ed, an agreement upon your part and the others who joined with you, to in vite the stf.te treasurer to unlawfully disburse the public funds, and if the appropriation therefor by the legisla ture should fail by reason of executive disapproval, that you and the others joining with you would hold the treas urer harmless. I cannot bring myself to believe that an act of this character can be justified upon any ground. To agree that certain officers and employes of the legislature, not authorized by any statute, should be placed upon the rolls, for the purpose of redeeming political promises in greater number than the places would justify, cannot I receive my approval, and furnishes me, as I believe, a sufficient reason for severing our official relations "In giving you this reason I beg to assure you that I have nothing but the ! most kindly feelings for you persj mally, nor do I l>elieve that you fully appreci ated the effect of your action. I would j very much haye preferred to be silent ! upon this subject, but your letter leaves me no alternative. Very truly yours. "HENRY C. MCCORMICK." The Duncan Brothers. The Buffalo Encampment witnessed a scene that probably never occured be fore in the history of this or any other country. It was that of five brothers marching side by side, all having been soldiers in the Union army. It was the Duncan boys, one of whom is our fellow citizen, Constable B. M. Duncan, and the other four were his brothers. Their names are William, of Co. E. 78 Pennsylvania regiment, who now lives in Strothers, Ohio: EnosG. of Co.

Col Three Weddings. Yesterday was a bride's ideal day, and as four Butler couples vrere united in marriage that day, it mu-t have been made to order. HEI.M RF.IBE.R- Just at noon, to the strains of the wed ding march played by Miss Beth Ante niann, of Albany, N. Y., Rev D Luther Roth pronounced the words that made Miss Lillian Reiber and William J. Helm one. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents, 121 W. North street, in the presence of the immediate rela tives oi the contracting parties Miss Dora Helm, sister of the groom acted as bridesmaid and Charles W. Reiber, brother of the bride as grooms man. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Reiber and is well known in Butier where she has a host of fnends, and the groom is a native of Evans City, where he has a large circle of friends, and is a telegraph operator and station agent on the P. & W. R. R. After dinner the happy couple left on a two weeks southern tour where they will take in the Nashville, Tennessee exposition. Those present were John Helm and wife, D. Markel and wife, Mrs. Jacob Helm and Miss Dora Helm, of Evans City; Jacob Reiber and wife, of Butler; Frederick Pflough and wife, of Franklin township; Luther F. Reiber and wife, of Allegheny; Mis. George Gehm, of Cor opolis; Miss Beth Antemann, of Albany, N. Y. ;JohnH. Reiber and wife, Chas. W., Clarence J. and Stanley G. C. Reiber, of Butler. They were the recipents of many handsome and valuable presents The CITIZEN joins their many friends in wishing them every happiness that fortune can bestow on them. RHODES-AYRES. Miss Mary Ayres. daughter of Cap tain Ayres, of N. McKean St., and il lis Lee Rhodes, ot Somerset Pa. ; were married at the bride's home, Wednes day evening, Rev. Johnston presiding, and only members of the family being present. The happy couple left town that evening, and intended passing a few days at Niagara Falls, after which they will reside temporarily with the brides pa rents The people of Butler, and particularly the joung folks *vith whom she is a great favorite, ' wish Mrs. Rhodes every happiness. She is one of Butler s fairest daughters, and her grace and worth are on a par with personal charms. WASSON—HOON. At noon, yesterday. Miss Mary Hoon. daughter ot Thomas k. Hoon of Centre twp. and Dr. Elgin Wasson of Baltimore were married at the bride's home. Rev. J. H. Braden officiating and a hundred guests being present. A Golden Wedding, One of these rare events was celebrated on the 2d inst. at the home of Mr and Mrs. E. S. Beatty, in Harrisville, At the time indicated this venerable couple had completed fifty years of married life, and their children would not con sent to let such a memorial occasion pass unnoticed. Mr. and Mrs. Beatty are both natives of Butler county, and descendants from families among the most respected and intelligent within its bounds. They were born and reared near the place where they now reside, and always lived in this locality, with the exception of about twenty years, which they spent at Rouseville, Ve nango Co., when oildom was in its glory. This celebration was almost exclu sively a family affair, rendered so of necessity, because of the largeness of the connections of both sides of the household. The only present outside the immediate family were Hqn W. P. Braham. a brother of the bride, and Mrs. Braham his wife, and Rev. Samuel Kerr and his wife. The occa sion was certainly a very enjoyable one. Every one from the youngest to the old est seemed to realize that it was good to be there. When the dinner was announced all repaired to the beautiful lawn adjoining the parental home, where tables were decorated with plants and roses, and sheltered by mag nificent shade trees, from the burning ravs of the summer's sun, and it is put ting it mildly to say that these tables were riehley ladenod with the choicest delicacies of the season, and yielded an ample supply for the cravings of the physical man. Some very handsome and costly pres ents were given as tokens of affection on this occasion, to the bride and groom of fifty years ago. Prominent among these I would mention a set of gold tea spoons from their grandchildren and from their own threat grandchild; a gold watch and chain attached to each, of the best quality and latest style, by their own children. To Mr. and Mrs Beatty eight children were born; three of these are dead, and as we trust, have entered in through the gates into God's city. Three sons survive, all well and favorably known business circles, viz: H. B. and E. G., of the Oakwood Rose Gardens, near Oil City, and S. 8., of Washington, Pa. The daughters are; Mrs. Worner, of Washington, Pa., and Miss Vina, who lives with her parents. These children, and I may add. their worthy partners in life, and the grand children, too, have signally honored this venerable pair, and in so doing they have honored themselves. Father and mother Beatty are active and vigorous for persons of their age. He is a prosperous merchant in Harris ville, and is now an acting justice of the peace, as he has been for the last twenty years or more, and in this capac ity he is known everywhere "as a terror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well." Long live Father and Muther Beatty; we heartily tender them our congratu lations. In this, the friends and neigh bors and general public will cordially join and say, amen and amen Signia.
