EDITOR CITIZEN— On March 12, 1800,
the Act of Assembly was passed creat
ing Butler, Co. or rather taking it from
Allegheny Co. to be formed into a new
county. It remained attached to the
mother county of Allegheny for judicial
and nearly all other purposes until the
year 1803.
In 1803, March and April, other acts
were passed this as the
county seat (here at Bntler) and the
erection of public buildings. Court
House, and so forth, and in IHO3 we be
gan doing business on our own account.
And now the question is beginning to
be discussed, what is the proper date for
us to have a centennial celebration of the
birth of our county? On March 12.1900
or in 1903? If on the first then we
should begin preparing. If on the sec -
ond we need not move in the matter
yet. We would like to hear the opinion
of other citizens of the county. And of
the press of the county. And of
the press of the counties of Beaver, Mer
cer. Crawford, Erie, Warren, Venango
and Armstrong, all of which were creat
ed by the same law of March 12, 1800.
Yours etc.

COL. HAWKINS' body arrived at
Washington, Pa., and was taken to his

the arrival of the regiment from San

The First Train.
All aboard for Punxsutawney next
Monday if the train runs. The follow
ing is from the Commerical Gazette.
While the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh will not formally begin its traffic
in and out of Allegheny and New Castle
over the Pittsburgh & Western till Sep
tember 4, an accommodation train be
tween Punxsutawney and Allegheny
will begin running on the 21at inst.
This train will be brought over the
Butler branch of the Pittsburgh &
Western as the second section of No. 16,
which reaches Allegheny at 11:40 a. m.,
will start from Allegheny about 8:30 in
the afternoon, the train running as the
second section of No. 47. The Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburgh trains will
make no stops between Allegheny and
Butler, 40 miles, in accordance with the
agreement with the Pittsburgh & West
ern. The running time between Alle
gheny and Butler will be an hour and 10
minutes on the fast trains that the Buf
falo, Rochester & Pittsburgh will install
on September 4. The opening of the ac
commodation service two weeks prior to
the full passenger service is being done
so that enginemen may become accus
tomed to the new road before handling
the Allegheny-Bnffalo-Rochester fast
trains, of which there will be two each
way each day, to run at a rate of about
40 miles an hour.
THE trial of Dreyfus, the discovery
of a conspiracy to overthrow the French
republic and the shooting of M. Labori
are matters in which the American
public is deeply interested. Time was
when these events, pregnant of mo
menta issues though they be, would
have excited but the merest passing in
terest in this country Now, however,
it is different. Rapid ocean transit and
the electric cable have brought Europe
to our doors and we now follow the
leading events in the old world even
more closely than we do those of Canada
or Mexico.

Hooker, Bntler Co., Pa.. )
Aug 14. 18*19. f
Concord church is situated near the
centre of Concord twp.. at the head of
Connoquenessing and Slippery rock
creeks. 12 miles north of Butler, just
where the first Presbyterian sermon in
Butler county was preached by Rev.
McPherran. grandfather of Col. John
M. Sullivan, deceased of Butler.
John McPherren made a missionary
tour to this portion of the state in 1799,
and preached to a congregation under
the spreading blanches of a large tree
that stood near the site of Concord
church, which tree is standing there to
day, I believe. Several of his audience
requested him to name the church
Concord, and that name it has borne
until the present time. If lam rightly
informed the founder of this church
was William Christy, my grandfather,
who came to this neighborhood abont
1798 and settled in the bounds of what
is now Concord twp.. and he being an
elder from a church in Westmoreland
county, and his brother Anderson and
Jeremiah Sutton, with the assistance of
several other families in the neighbor
hood got up this organization known as
Concord and called the above named
>%-PheiTen as their • astor.
John McPherren preached at Con.
cord until his death which occurred on
the 10th day of Feb. 1822. Then Rev 1
John Coulter, father of Rev. J R Coul
ter of Scrubgrass. took charge of the
congregation in 1823, and preached
there for 42 years—until nearly the
time of his death.
This congregation has had but fonr
pastors, and one of them is preaching
there at the present time—the other
three having died in the harness.
This congregation embraced a large
scope of territory, taking in what is
now* North Bntler. Anisville, Pleasant -
ville. North Hope. Fairview, Petrolia
and Sunbnry, including the two Lulh
eran churches —Zion and Springdale
also the Methodist churches at Greece
City and Troutmau. All of which are
streams gone out from old Concord to
gladden the cities of our God.
The present edifice is a brick build
ing, 4ox.Vi, erected in 183*. and is today
a comfortable and decent church. 1
was there a few Sundays ago at a com
munion and on looking over the house
I could see but one man (and him 1 >lin<s
who attended Sunday School with me
in the old log house in the grove when
I was a little, barefooted boy, clad in
home-spun linen.
But things have changed. The
broadcloth coat has taken the place of
the linen: the silk dress has taken the
place of the barred Hannel and gingham:
the piano has taken the place of our
mother's spinning wheel, and yet the
people of that day were as good as the
people of the present—for our fathers
and our mothers lived in that day.
1 sometimes think if we of that day
got to know anything, the people of the
present day might get to know a great
deal more, for they have a great many
opportunities that we were denied.
Some of this narrative is from infor
mation and the rest by observation.

John Neeley, general manager of the
Darlington Creamery company, Dar- <

Beaver Co.. is suffering from a remark- :
able case of poisoning by an insect bite. !
The case is a puzzling one and is baffling
the medical profession and causing much
alarm among his friends. As a result
of the bite one of the fingers of his right
hand and Mr. Xeeley's right arm has
continued to expand for fhree days
until it has swollen almost to the size
of his body, notwithstanding the con
stant medical attention given him.

cents; from 20 to 25, seventy-five cents;
school ma'ams, 40 cents: widows, ac

The frightful spectacle of a human
form rolling for over 250 feet down the
rugged sides of Duquesne Heights ap
palled a hundred spectators standing in
front of the Panhandle yards on West
Carson St. Pittsburg, Mondav. The
body rolled and tossed over rocks and
numerous jagged obstacles snd finally
landed with sickening force on the hard
cobble stones below. Miraculous as it
seems, the victim was still alive at mid
night, but his death was expected at
any time. The victim was Harry K.
Herzog, an insurance agent, and the
only support of aged parents living at
1325 Carson street. He was employed
by the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany and had been on Dutjuesne
Heights soliciting for his firm.
Sixty-four cases of tyrotoxicon poison
ing occurred at a missionary tea held at

supper time. Between 9 and 11 o'clock
case after case of sickness was reported
to the physicians, many persons being
prostrated.
The cause was quickly traced to tyro
toxicon i>oison contained in the milk
used in the ice cream. It had noi been
properly cooled being secured at various
places, while some of it, though fresh,,
was placed in a closed can and transpor
ted several miles from the country to

PROTEST iiGSSHSf GOVERNOR'S WUtON
Sovernor Stone Has Removed More Old
Soldiers During His Short Time in Har
risburg Than All of His Predecessors.
Machine Slata Agreed Upon.
iiarrislnirg, Aug. 15. —Governor Stone
relebratcd his return from a visit to
fx-Senato" Quay at Atlantic City las'
Friday by sacrificing to the greed of
the machine four old soldiers employed
la Capitol park. These men were faith
ful employes, loyal to the Republican
partv and the only reason they wero
dismissed was to provide places for
those more useful to the machine. Gov
ernor Stone has for many years used
his soldier record to boost him into
office, and yet he has removed more old
soldiers during the short time he has
been at Harrisburg than all his pre
decessors.
The Dauphin County McKinley
League, composed of Republican sol
diers, has entered a strong protest
against the governor's action in re
moving. without cause, old soldiers
who have been as loyal to their party
as they were to the flag during the war.
The members of the league are so
thoroughly disgusted with the rule of
the machine that they will probably
call a meeting to denounce the gover
nor and the machine and then disband.
Captain .Toi'ii C. Delaney, who was
voted a medal of honor by congress for
bravery during the civil war. has writ
ten an open lefter to Governor Stone
and liis colleagues on the board of pub
lic buildings and grounds protesting
against the wholesale discharge of sol
diers. Captain Delaney served under
Governor IL.jtings as superintendent
of public buildings and grounds anil he
pays the dismissed employes a high
tribute in his letter to the board. The
captain says
"As an old soldier. I wish to enter
my solemn protest against the action of
the board of public grounds and build
ings iu t>'*e removal of four old vet
erans in the persons of Andrew Mc-
Kee. Henry Yohe. Jacob Dock and
Lewis ock. These men have
been faithful employes, loyal to their
party and above all were men who iu
their youns days offered their lives
for the nat'on's defeuse. How Gover-
r.or .Stone and Major McCauley, who
have in all rtieir public utterances ex
ploited the fact that they were the es
pecial friendo i,nd champions of their
old gomrades and have bean elevated to
the high -positions they now fill largely
bv the earne.-t efforts and votes of the
old .soldiers. could consent to what to
my mind is an outrage can only be ex
plained upon die theory that the board
of public grounds and buildings was
unable to withstand the behests of the
local politicians of this city and county,
who demanded the removal of these
'men to make places for others, the
records of whom are well known in
this community. With the single ex
ception of William H. Crook, none of
these appointees is ail old soldier.
"It does seem to me that this is ex
ceptionally bad politics on the eve of a
stata campaign and that the time is
.not far distant when the politicians
who brought this about will discover
t tiat thev have made a serious blunder,
as the old soldiers are .rapidly beinj
reinforced by the younger ones of the
recent wars, who will, I am confident,
resent this action."
