EDITOR CITIZEN:—Owing to ill health, and under the advice of my phy sician, I feel it a duty I owe to myself to withdraw as a candidate for County Treasurer. . I am very grateful to my many friends for their proffered support, and at some other time I may again submit my name as a candidate. W. S. DXXON. HAKKISIH KG. On Thursday the second joint ballot was taken and it stood Quay 111, Jenkß 85, Dalzel' 17, Stewart 9, Stone 8, Huff 5. etc., making 248 in all. The joint convention was tame, the rejected reso lutions of the previous day were offered after the ballot and adopted with but one dissenting voice. After the session several leaders paired and went home, Qnay went to W ashin^ton. The House Committees werfi an nounced that day, and we notice Mr. Moore's name on the Judiciary General; and Mr. Dindinger's on the Ways and Means, and both are on some of the less | important ones. On Friday 42 legislators were absent and paired, and the vote stood Quay 98, Jenks 09, Dalzell 14, Stone 8, etc., mak inga total of 210 votes. Resolutions regarding pairs were offered and adopted. At Saturday's session 50 pairs were announced, and there were some ab sentees. The vote stood Quay 55, Jenks 41. Dalzell 13, Stewart 9, C. W. Stone 5, and enough scattering to make 138. On Sunday a number of Democratic legislators received fake telegrams from Pittsburg, Phil'a aud Washington, pur posing to come from Democratic lead ers asking them to absent themselves from Harrisburg, Tuesday, the idea being to keep enough away to give Quay a majority of those present, which would elect if a majority of all were present. On Sunday, Goy. Stone issued an op en letter urging the re-election of Sena tor Quay. At the joint ballot of Monday 98 members were paired and 4 others ab sent; and the vote stood Quay 63, Jenks 48, Dalzell 11. Stewart 8. C. W. Stone 6, P. A. B. Widerner 2, etc, making 150 in all with 76 necessary for a choice. Placards offering rewards for the de tection of attempted bril>ery were post ed in the hotels. The anti Quay people were greatly offended by the statement issned by Gov. W. A. Stone urging the re election of Senator Quay. A meeting of the anti-Quay people was held Monday af ternoon and Senator William Flinn and Representative W. 11. Koontz, E. A, CorayJr., Robert K. Young and Mali lon L. Savage were named as a commit tee to draft a protest. The committee iasued the following "We the undersigned, a committee representing and acting for and by the authority of the anti Quay Republican members of the Legislature, hereby en ter our protest against the unwarrented and unusual attempted interference of the chief executive of our State with the members of the Legislature for the purpose of influencing their votes for the election of M. S. Quay to the Unit ed States Senate. We regard the open letter of <iov. Stone, published by the press of the State, as an improper inter ference by the executive branch of the government with the rights aud duties of the legislative department of the Commonwealth. "The material question in controversy in the content is the fact that indict ments are now pending against Mr. Quay in the c riminal courts of Philadel phia county, trials of which he has thus far successfully eroded, as the follow ing history will show: At the hearing liefore Magisirat* .ieruion, in Philadelphia, ou October *. Mr Quay's counsel loudly proclaimed the innocence ut their client and pro- testM against the unfairness of their position, in that, under the law, only evidence of the Commonwealth c®uld be heard before a committing magis trate. and the defence had no opportun ity to show how falsely he wart charged District Attorney Graham at waiv ed the Commonwealth'!* right in this respect and offered to allow Mr. Quay the opportunity of going npon the wit ness stand to explain the incriminating evidence that had been offered against him. Mr Quay, however, refused to avail himself of »this opi>ortanity. Ac cording to the practice of the Phila delphia courts, the case could not be re turned for trial before the November session. This was also a subject of com plaint by Mr. Quay 's counsel Mr. Gra ham again offered" to immediately sub mit the indictments to the Grand Jury and to fix a day for the trial in October. Mr. Quay again failed to avail himself of this privilege "Then Mr. Quay started for Florida and Mr Graham sent a note to his conn sel suggesting that a protracted stay would be nnwise, as an early day would be fixed for trial. Mr. Quay replied: "I will not gratify my enemies by a luent » delay in the trial of the cases. Upon the day fixed for Mr. Quay to come into court to plead to the indict ments he appeared with bis counsel and prayed for more time. This time was granted him. Fiye days afterward his counsel came into court and demurred to certain bills and filed motions to qnash others. Almost one entire day was used in the argument of this phase of the proceedsngs, Upon the filling of the adverse opinion of Judge Finletter a day was fixed for trial. Subsequently Mr. Qnay asked for more time, and Dec ember 12 was fixed. Shortly before the day thus set for trial Mr. Qnay filed his celebiated petition in the Supreme court asking for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not be issued. The petition was granted and made returnable on January 7, 1899. To this petition the district attorney fil ed his answer in which, among other things, he solemnly set forth that for years hundreds of thousands of dollars of the sacred trust funds of the State had been set aside for the personal and sole use of M. S. Quay. "While these proceedings were to be argued in the Supreme court on Jan uary 7. Mr. Quay attempted to force a caucus on Jannarv 3 eight hours after the organization of the Legislature. This monstrous proposition wiped aside all precedents and we declined to vote for M. S. Quay until he had been acquit ted of these criminal charges which he bad adroitly dodged. "The argument before the full bench of the Supreme court took place om Jan nary 7, where Mr. Quay was represent ed by able counsel, when, after due de liberation, the conrt, without a desent ing voice, sent the cases back to the Philadelphia courts for trial, regardless of the statements of Mr. Qnay, under oath, as contained in his petition, and the argument of Mr. Watson, to which the Governor gives so much weight. "Notwithstanding the above,the Gov ernor of this Commonwealth brushes aside the court and jury and all the criminal charges in the cases, and upon the naked statement of D. T. Watson, the paid attorney of M. S. Quay, de clares Mr Qnay innocent and the vic tim of political persecution. Upon tne ground of party regularity alone the Governor nrges the election of M. S. Quay, while, at the same time, he. as well as all others knows that Mr Quay cannot be elected by Republican votes, and that Mr. Quay and his lieutenants are desperately soliciting Democratic votes as the only means of re-electing him to the United States Senate. For these reasons we do most emphat ically dissent from the'sentiments ex pressed in the open letter of the Gover nor, believing that nine-tenths of the people of the State agree with ns and indorse our action." The Democratic leaders were arriving in town and investigating the fake tele gram business. Nearly 100 Democratic editors of re presentative State newspapers respond ed to a request from a local paper as to the sentiment of the voters of their lo cality touching the probability of Dem ocratic Legislators voting for or help ing Mr. Quay in his contest for the Sen atorship. The belief is emphatic and unanimous as to the dreadful punish ment that mnst follow such recreancy. Here is a sample of the replies: John F. Short, of the Clearfield "Re publican"—"The Democrat wiio votes for Quay will be regarded as a traitor to his God. his country and his fellow man by every decent Democrat in Clear field county It is not unusual any hour to hear our best citizens express themselves thus: The democrat who votes for Quay should be shot down on the floor of the House. " At Tuesday 8 joint session 238 mem bers were present and the vote stood Quay 106. Jenks HO, Dalzell 15, Stewart 8, Stone 8, etc. The galleries were crowded, the scheme to have Democratic member* absent ithemselves • failed, "steering' committees were appointed by the dif ferent factions, Quay and Magee were in conference after the session, the situ ation remained practically the same. At Tuesday's session of the Senate McCarrell's bill amending the jury law and restricting the power of the district Attorney passed Second Reading. The purpose of the bill in said to be to help Quay in his coming trial in Fbil'a. At yesterday's joint session 18 pairs were announced and the vote stood, Quay 104, Jenks 70, Dalzell 16, Stewart 8. Stone 7, etc—2B4 in all, and 118 nec essary to elect. THE election of Hon Chauncy M. Depew to the United States Senate from New York by the unanimous vote of the Republicans of the Empire State is a compliment well deserved. Mr De pew is a typical American, a scholar, and an orator. His wide knowledge of affaire, his oratorical ability and his large acquaintance will enable him to take rank at once as an influential member of the greatest legislative body of the world. York state is fortunate and the Republican party is favored in securing so able a senator at this time. The party is to be congratulated op the unity with which the selection has been made.- Butler Eagle of last week. Hon. John Dalzell, of Allegheny Co., is the peer of Chaunoey M. Dupow aa an orator and scholar; and besides these qualifications he has already made fcr himself a National reputation as a statesman. Why should not he be Quay's successor, and why continue to yammer about Quay's vote of seven years ago when the conditions were entirely difforunt from those that now confront us? Is Pennsylvania never to hav» a statesman in the United States Senate, and is the politics of the state to be for ever prostituted to the power of the "almighty dollar " NATHAN B. SCOTT is the new U. s. Senator from West Virginia. Hi; is a Republican. I* Tl»« <iov«»riu»r Crazy? Governor Stone having exhausted the offices at his disposal to make votes for Quay, is out with a second and more elaborate edition of his interview urg ing Quay's election. It will have little effect He has exhausted the solid reasons that captured four Quay votes from Lancaster county in return for the s -cretaryihip of the commonwealth, well as other offices for other votes. He has nothing left to go on. When Governor Stone, as he does in this interview, to which he appends his signature as if to giye it greater weight, passes judgment on judicial proceed ings against yuay for conspiracy to plunder the public treasury he violates all the decencies and proprieties of his office. What business haw be to say that the indictments against tjuay, su* tained by the Philadelphia courts, as well as by the supreme court, are of a political character,"that "there i» noth in the bills of indictment," thai th* testimony does not show him "to have violated any law," and that "the pro <;.;edinga were inspired and instituted <or the purpose of influencing votes again* t fcenntor Y Here we have the governor, in tie service of his lord and master, a&sailing the prosecuting officers of the Commonwealth, the grand jury and the jndicary. Was anything of the kind ever heard of be fore? We doubt it. Is it within the proper and legitimate sphere of executive duty for the gov ernor to interfere in this way in an en deayor toembarrassordefeat the enforce ment of the laws and the just punish ment of those who violate them? It is a dishonor to Peimnsylvania to have a governor capable of such gross and stupid official indecency. He should have reserved his opinions until called on to exercise the pardoning power, if that emergency arises. If Quay is so clearly and manifestly' guiltless as the governor maintains, why the efforts of his counsel to throw oyer the trial un til after the senatorial election 7 As to there being nothing in the bills of indictment," as the governor asserts, how comes it that the Philia delphia jupges sustained these indict ments on demurrer? The demurrers admitted the offence charged, but claimed it was no violation of law. The court in overuling declared with great emphasis it constituted a crime, and therefore was in violation of law. District Attorney Graham stated the issue with distinctness in his answer in the dilatory certiorari proceeding when he said: The books show that hundreds of tnousands of dollars of the public mon ey deposited in the Peoples bank were set apart for the use of M, S. Quay, and used by him, amd that he was charged no interest thereon. The books show that hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of stock were bought for the said M. S Quay with this money. That whenever he failed to-use his full allow ance of public money thus set apart for him, interest was carefully calculated upon the balance not used by him in the purchase of stocks and paid to the State treasurer. We repeat it is a grave official scan dal for the governor to thrust his per sonality into the course of legal pro ceedings and prejudge a cane that the courts have yet to pass upon It is an indecent contempt of the judiciary in the discharge of duties imposed on it by the constitution and laws. This opinion is likewise held by some legislators, as the public statement is sued last night shows. —Ex. IN the event of the defeat of Senator Quay for re-election, vye believe the next choice of the majority of the voters of Jefferson county would be Congress man John Dalzell, of Pittsburg. —Punx sutawney Spirit. Death in the Flames. Wednesday morning, Jan 11, about 1 o'clock H. E. Rice of Corduroy, Elk county, with six horses lost their lives in the flames which destroyed the barn at that place. Mr. Rice drove the hack and carried the mail between that place and Kane. It was his custom to sleep in the sta ble and a room had been prepared for his use. His father spent part of Tues day evening with him and when the latter left for home his son was practic ing on the telegraph instrument, being anxious to learn the art. About 1 o'clock Mr. Rice was awak ened by the cry of fire, the barn was in flames and it was impossible to res cue either Edwin or any of the horses "It was evident that the fire originated in the room occupied by the unfortu nate man as that end of the barn was destroyed when the fire was discovered. By the position of the young man's body in the ruins he had made an effort to escape, but before he reached the window had been overcome by the smoke and flames. H. E. Rice was born on July 30, 1H77, and was in his 22d year. The departure of a soul so youug and pure from this earth seems to require that the living should pay a tribute of public respect to his memory. This young man was raised by his grandpa rents of Middle Lancaster, who took him when quite small, at the death of his mother. He stayed with his grand parents until two and a half years ago, when he went to Elk county to live with his father. He was well known in Harmony, Whitestown and Middle Lancaster, which was his old home. To those who knew him and knew him best it was as if death's call had relieved a spirit al ready so purified as to wing its flight straightway into the arms of the bless ed Savior. Well is it in this earthy vale of tears that the bereaved are vouchsafed by kindly Providence a glimpse into the eternal beauties behind the gates ajar, when weeping eyes, in God's own faith, may l>ehold the loved and lost caught up in Heaven's veiv portals and carried thence into the everlasting joys prepar ed for those who have truly loved and served the Divine Master. Truly hath it been said "it is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die." For the life and death of the righteous exercise a magnetic power over the souls of those who witness them, and it endows them with a wealth of riches compared with which the dross of earth is of no account. There were many Butler county friends to whom the tidings of his death brought a shock of sorrow, for he had knit many ties of friendship here which death can only sever. The eyes that were closed by the angel thai night are opened wide again by the shining spirit of resurrection,and now look down upon you like stars out of a dark firmament, waiting and beck oning to surviving father and brother. Dearest Edwin, thou art gone To the place we call our home, Yet we would not once recall. Though you were the love of all. For we know you are at rest, In our Saviour's loving care. God has given, Ood has taken, And we miss you everywhere Rest dear Edwin, at Jesus feet, For he bids his children come, Trusting some day we may meet, When our labors here are done. A friend in sorrow, B. M. H Tut-, which was sent out by the Swedish government in search of Andree, the Arctic explorer who ut temx>te<l to reach the North Pole in a balloon, ha." returned from Northern Siberia, where months were spent in fruitless efforts to learn the fate of An drey and his tyvo fellow voyagers. A IMcnsiiiit Meeting in Franklin MU. EJHTOK ALLOW me to report through your valuable paper a pleasant event which took place at the resilience of Mr. J. H. Davis of Franklin twp oti on Thursday Jan. IK. The oeoujtiou of the meeting was the desire of the mem bers of Forest Orange and the people of the community to pay their respects to our worthy brother and sister who owing to an accident which happened to Mrs. Da vis sometime ago has detained ihum from our meetings and social fel lowship Thp day \ya« a propitious one and the presence of a goodly number of the people of the community with has kets ladened with the indiupcnsable good things of such occasions and with hearts full of the milk of human kind ness and social good will what could hinder an enjoyable time to both host and guests. In the early hours of the day the current questions of the times were pretty thoroughly discussed and decided as their merits demanded. The tjuaj' was argued and a purer policy in pc/litics (leafed, the merits and fitness of our local candidates were re hearsed; the annexation of the Philip pine* nettled to the satisfaction of all, pugljstic ejiootintofti condemned as a menace to good society while a policy of the righteousness that exaltelh a ;l tion was prescribed as the elixir which will cure all our social and political ills, Having disposed of these matters to the satisfaction of all and dinner being announced all hands proceeded to the agreeable task of miking large inroads upon the bonntifnl and delicious pro ducts of our culinary adepts and though all showed wonderful capacity in this direction the snpplv greatly exceeded all demands After dinner the meeting was organized by electing Mr John M. Bride to act as chairman and R (' Thompson sec'y. after prayer Rev. J. M. Oliver in behalf of the givers, in a very appropriate address presented to Mr. and .Mrs. Davis a number of substantial presents as tokens of their friendship and esteem. Mr. Davis in behalf of him self and family replied by assuring the guests that they appreciated and would cherish the gifts as testimonials of their love and kindness Addresses were then made by Mr W J. Stoner and Mr. Harlan Book then the meeting was closed by prayer and benediction.

Vicinity Be sad or be glad when yon read The farmer's institute last week was a very successful affair. Owing to the sickness among the speakers, Chairman Stoughton had to change the program me several times, bnt everything came out all right, and Mr. Stoughton is to be congratulated upon his tireless efforts. The address of welcome was made by Carl Shanor, who in his own winsome way, welcomed the farmers, and we were going to say the candi dates. The response was made by. Elvin Pyle in a speech full of thought and in terest. The State speakers were Messrs Oritchfield, Herr and Burns. The local talent —both men and women, did exceedingly well and the state speakers were very much surprised at the talent displayed. The mnsic throughout the institate was furnished by Cornet band, and everyone complimented them upon their fine mnsic. The education session Wednesday eve. was a noticable and pleasant part of the proceedings. The scholars of Room No. 2, sang "The Old School Bell". Prof. Green spoke on "What Is It Worth"'? The Prof, is master at our Academy, and brought out many good ideas in his speech. A recitation was given by Charlie Lepley. The little imps liaye been playing with Charlie's throat and upper lips of late, but notwithstanding, Charlie did well for his first appearance in public. The little folks of Room No. I,then sang "The Crow Song" and also "Sowing." These are motion songs and the audience were much amnsed at the little tots, who did their very best. Frank Barkley. who is one of our promising young men, talked on 'Duty of The Times". Frank has a pleasant voice and did well. "The Skater's Song" was sung by Room No. 2, and received their share of applause too. A recitation was given by Miss Frankie Dodds. Miss Dodds has had some experience in declaiming and we got what we looked for, a fine recitation. Prof Dyke, who was a new speaker to our people, discoursed on "Present Demands". Mr. Dyke brought out many good things in his interesting talk. "The Tramps" was spoken by Miss Cora McLure, and her reputation as a speaker wae a forecast of her .success Supt. Cheesman, who is no stranger to our people, gave an interesting talk on "A Higher Education". The Supt. always does well, but the occasion seemed to inspire him. "The Brooklet'' was sung by some ladies of Room Jso. 2. They sang as well as they looked "The An«els of Boena Vista" was rendered by C. H. Hueter. Charlie is a forcible and en tertaining speaker and we were assured of his success before hand. Hon N. B. CYitchtield then gave a splendid talk to all the school children present, and said "the only way to be happy is to do yonr duty" and he told several anecdotes to illustrate his arguments. The band also enlivened the proceedings with some of their splendid music. Mrs. C. C. Sullivan, of Beaver Falls, is visiting her daughter Mrs. Pyle and also her sister Mrs. Lepley. R.-v <i. IT. Spiggle. of Kittaning, will lecture in the Lutheran Church. Friday eye., Jan. 27. The subject is "Gus tavus Adolplius." Rev. Spiggle is said to be a fine speaknr. Everyone is in vit'.d. Miss Flora Forrester has been sick for two or three weeks, and her brother Ford took charge of the school. Flora is now able tj teach again. There were about thirty candidate i in town during the farmer's institute. They are a jovial set of men, and made Hotel Doehm their rendezvous. N. S. tiros-; nan has been a juryman for two wepks, atld no doubt enjoyed the r<«st from farm work. Rev. 1". 11. Roth, of Thiel College, Greenville, Pa., will deliver a sermon here Sunday, Feb. 13, on "Education." The reputation of the speaker insures an interesting and instructive discourse. Evander McCandless died, after a short illness. Saturday last. Mr. Me Candles*, was u very robust man, and his demise was a surprise to all. He was about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife, two children and many relatives and friends to mourn his death. The (Jdd Fellows have bought a lot from A.
