The new rule adopted by the Repnb lican State convention for deciding deadlocks in Congressional. Senatorial and Judicial districts, should be accept ed as an admonition to the Republican people of the State that they nlustaban don the conferree system that is often a mere pocket affair, and bring the nomination of district candidates to a direct vote of the Republican people of the district, or of direct representatives from the precincts. There is no more vicious system in Peinsylvania politics than the present pocket conferree system. The candi date for Congress, Senator or other dis trict office, manipulates his own county to give him a nomination, whether in tended to be complimentary or other wise, and he is giyen the right eitheT to appoint his conferrees himself or they are practically dictated by him. This puts the whole voice and power of the county in the hands of one man. just as the State convention puts the power to decide a district deadlock in the hands of the chairman of the State com mittee. In many instances persons holding pocket conferrees barter them in the political inarket-place.demoralize the the party and multiply political corrupt ion The way to escape the evil effects of the new rule adopted by the State convention, is to go to direct precinct representation in district conferences or to the direct vote of the Republican peo ple The Congressional district of Dela ware and Chester has been convulsed for years oyer Republican nominations for Congress, and three times within the last few years there have been two Republican candidates. Demoraliza tion and debauchery logically followed such contests, and now the Republicans of that district have rescued themselves by adopting the rule that the next can didate for Congress, and all future nom inations shall be chosen in a joint con ference composed of equitable represen tation from each election district. Next to giving a direct Republican vote for nominations, the precinct sys tem is the best that could be adopter!, and it would end all arbitrary control cf local nominations by the State commit tee or bv any other political influence. The pocket conferree system is a fear ful source of political corruption, often defeating the will of the party, and a fair expression of the party could al ways be attained, and the interference of the State committee absolutely avoid ed, by making precinct representation in all district conferences. If the Re publicans are wise they will adopt such a rule, especially in districts which are likely to be thrown into a deadlock.— Phil'a Times.

THE NEW RAILROAD. The new railroad troui Butler to Punxsutawney is a Jim Danily. It is a first class, up-to-date, perfectly built ar. 1 thoroughly equipped road with no grade on it exceeding one in one-hun di ed. A ride over it is a supreme pleas ure, and as it opens up what has hereto fore been to most of us a foreign and unexplored country and withal a very interesting one. we should all "take a ride" on it at the very first opportuni ty The chief engineering features of the new road are the magnificent bridge over the Allegheny a bridge about half a mile long and one handred and fifty feet above low water, from which the cars of the Valley R R below look small—and the great tunnel a mile or so west of Punxsutawney. which saves a run of six miles around a hill, though the tunnel is but little over a half a mile in length. Then there is some pretty scenery along the Mahoning, which empties into the Allegheny a few miles above Mosgrove and also at what they call Devil's Gulch—but the great est natural curiosity on the route is the the great sand bank on the top of the river hill, (this sidej through which the railroad cuts s■> feet without reach ing bottom, and on the top of which stand great rocks and trees. One can not help wondering how all that sand got on the top of a hill two-hundred feet above the level of the river. Quite a number of the people of this county and great crowds from Arm strorg county took advantage of the ex cursion rates, last week, to see both the road and the town with the long name On Thursday morning a train consist ing of tour coaches, two baggage cars and a big engine, left Bntler with about sixty people, and a few got on at Fenel ton and Craigsville; but when the train stopped at Moss Grove, the station on the other side of the river two or three hundred people, who came up from Kittanning on the Valley, climbed up the steep bluff and boarded it, others got on at the little stations along Pine creek, while at Dayton, the centre of a fine farming country in the eastern edge of Armstrong county, near where Indi ana and Jefferson counties corner, a great mob was awaiting the train, and three more coaches were added to it to accommodate them. Punxsutawney was reached after a three hour run. including the half-hour wait at Dayton, and we took a look at the town —a big coal mining town locat ed in a valley, with one paved street about a mile long and with street cars on it; and several go >d hotels. We mij,ht add, also, that it is the home of the handsomest editor in Western Pennsylvania —the Hon. William O. Smith who edits a Spirit ed weekly After dinner at a big brick hotel of the strange name of "Pantall, we vis ited the Fair—a sort of horse race aud fake-all concern on the top of a dusty bill, where everybody stood or sat in the sun. All were talking about the terrible accident of the previous day. The races were nine-tenths of the Fair aud Charley Jamison of Butler, with his thirty horses was capturing all the prizes. After l>eing thoroughly heated and saturated with dust we took a look at the town, and the neat and complete iron mill, and sauntered about till train time. The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg R. R. comes into Punxsutawney from the north, passing through Bradford. the Vanderbilt interests from the east via Williamsport and Beech creek, and the Penn a from the south, leaving the main line near Altoona, and passing through Bell's Gap. This new road, which the owners call the Allegheny & Western, is the town's first western out let, and with its traffic arrangements with the I*. & W. enables the B. li. & P. to run through trains between Ro chester, NY. and Pittsburg and by the way these trains will not stop between Butler and Pittsburg This new road also and the cut-offs at Butler and Rei bold, give the B. It. & P. freight and passenger facilities with the B. & O. to Chicago, and with the "Bessie ' to the lakes. It is about <»■"» miles lon-, is built for heavy hauling, and our esti mate of the cost is from two to three millions of dollars. It was not built for fun, and besides the convenience as a direct eastern outlet, it ought to t«, and undoubtedly will be, of immense indus trial advantage to Butler, as every great railroad interest in this part of the continent, excepting the Vander bilt, is now represented here. It makes this town a great railroad centre, and this with our available ter ritory and abundant supply of l>oth coal and natural gas, should make Butler a great manufacturing town. It will lie some day. Middletown. Mrs. Perry Hillard is on a fair way to recover from a severe attack of cholera morbus. C. C. Kuhn is very weak and reduced in flesh occasioned by his illness which has developed into a case of walking typhoid fever. During the thunder storm on last Fri day the lightning struck a locust tree in front of R. P. Black's residence Mr. Black and family were sitting on the veranda at the time and were slightly shocked by the concussion During the same storm a number of trees near Troutman were struck by the subtile fluid. Miss Eva Campbell, a popular teacher of this township, gave a fete last week to which was invited the pupils from four different schools which she had formerly taught. It was well attended and much enjoyed by all present. Oar evenings now are made hilarious on account of com roants, swinging part'os ami socials of various kinds The one which did not materialize on last Saturday evening was a source of disappointment to some of the young people. Sunday desecration ot any sort is odious to the eyes and repulsive to the tastes of all refined people particularly so when accompanied by beer and poker. Rev. Decker, of West Snnbnry, was prevented exchanging pulpits last Son day with Rev. Alter on account of the funeral of Mr. Sankey, of Moniteau. Mrs. It H. Campbell met with an ac cident in Sunbury on last Thursday evening which is causing her much suf fering at present. She was sitting in her buggy which she had driven into an alley in order not to blockade the street when a carriage came along and it in making a turn around a corner col lided with the buggy iu which Mrs. Campbell sat turning it completely over on its side. One of Mrs Campbell's feet passed between the spokes of a wheel from the outer side and under the bed of the buggy. She was thus thrown to the ground with the whole weight of the carriage resting on her limb. She was extricated from her position by those who witnessed the ac cident and kind friends ministered to her relief She was conveyed to her home on the same evening and medical treatment speedily applied. It seems miraculous that her injuries were not greater, but as it is she may have to suffer a long time from the injuries she really sustained. On last Friday night as "Ves" Starr was returning from North Washington driving a spirited horse, the animal sud denly shied at some object and jumped to one side of the road at a point near the residence of Mr. Scbimmell. "Ves gave the horse a smart blow from the whip when he was suddenly struck lx low the right shoulder blade by a stone of s«veral pounds weight, (completely paralyzing his arm for the time tieing. The horse darted off with the speed of the wind and did not slacken his speed until near the home of Mr. Starr. Had Mr. Starr been able to have controlled the action of his horse he would have made an investigation of the matter at the time of its occurrence. A great ugly bruise murks the spot where the stone struck. By whom thrown or for what purpose is a mystery he cannot solve. UIU EX. Harmony and Zelienople. Rev. J. W Otterman of Zelienople preached in school house No 1 Jackson twp., on Sunday afternoon. This week he is holding a series of meetings at Uuionville. Beaver county, in the M. I. church. Abraham Bachtel of 111. was in this community last week calling on friends. At the age of years he left Harmony, ten years after his father died. After being away fifty years he decided to see this place once more after which he will visit relatives in the east. P D. Branuni of Sewickley was at the Hotel BAm Saturday night. Seventeen passengers from Zelienople and Harmony,left Harmony on Monday morning for "the G. A. R. encampment at Philadelphia. Ida Sample of Harmony, left Monday morning for the Slippervrock Normal school. Miss Atwell who has been visiting friends in Zelienople and Harmony for some time left for her home at Grove Citv on Monday. Joe Eppinger left Harmony on Mon day for Erie where he will be employed by Chris Weinrolder as cashier in his barber shop. Fred Hartnng of Allegheny was at his home in Harmony on Sunday. He will enter the West Penn Medical Col lege in two weeks. Hattie Hartnng the accomplished pri mary teacher of Harmony is now oc cupying her new position at Butler. Her work in Harmony was a success. The vacuum in educational, social and religious circles will be hard to fill. The barn owned bv Jacob Shoot on the Harmony-Portersville road in Lan caster twp. was bnrned on Sunday af ternoon. filled with hay and straw. When sitting on his porch on that day reading, he noticed a large flame at the straw stack,he gave an alarm, but could not save the barn. The farming ma chinery was saved. The barn was m snred. He thrashed with a steamer the day before the fire Cause of fire nn known. J. G. Vaughn of Zelienople is at Patts ville. Pa. at present in the interest of the American Anti Trust League. He is a staff corespondent of the Daily lie publican so says the Saturday Night Review of recent date of that city. There were between hj and 4eople at Maple Grove. The largest picnic in the history of the grove. "It takes a large nnuiber of people to raise the dust in the park, were the words of Mr. Brown, the 'merry-go-round man, who did a land office business on Thnis day Ang' -Ist when the E ; ghth and Ninth districts of the Butler county S. S. Association held their Union S. !S. Picnic. This was the largest gathering of Snnday school workers ever witness ed in this section. The expresions of surprise, encouragement and enjoyment were numerous. The Sunday school is one of the most potent forces organized and entrenches in our land today, ,n an auxilliary to the church. The officers aud commit tees of the Ninth District deserve great credit for the excellent managuient '>l the large crowd, which was orderly and well behaved. The John A. Irvine Fire Co. Band of Evans City was employed tor the day. Base ball, races, lawn tennis, swinging and boat riding were among the amuse ments of the day. After the first duty of the day was dispensed with the exercises in the pavil ion was carried out in a most pleasing manner. Prof J. D. Mahan of Mars conducted the vocal music which was also inter spersed with music by the brass bind. America" was first sung, after which Rev. P. J. Slonaker of Zelienople offer ed a prayer. A number of select singers sung the anthem 'Great is God. An address, "The Teacher and His Bible " was next delivered by Rev. Wor rel of Butler. President of Butler Co. Among other things he said the teacher should have an open bible, which of course means a knowledge of the Bible. He should first, kno v God second know Christ, third know the Holy Spirit He stated that he liyed in the county but two years and was elected to his office last June at the Mars convention and declared his plan of work would be Ist Spiritual, 'ind Bibical and 'id Organized. He said a perfect orginization alone would not be sufficient. In referring to the cables and cords of the British navy through the centre of which is found a scarlet cord, so organ ization fails unless it is constantly in touch with the scarlet cord of Christ's love. The anthem "Come Where the Lillies Bloom was next rendered J. M. Gal breath of Butler in his cul tured manner delivered the second ail dress He contrasted the Sunday school of ore generation ago with the school of the present day and also noted the pro Kress in industrial art dwelling on the inventions in machinery moved by steam and electricity. He said the Sun day school was not doing the work ot tfce parent in the home. In speaking of the educational advantages he said he had no sympathy with an education which vacated th<- work shop or the farm. The artisan and the common farmer of the future must be educated. It is not enough to be intelligent it is not enough to be moral: we must be religious. He said we, as a Nation, were step- on a higher plane of civilization We must reach out and help others. The closing song "Let the Hills and Vales Resound," was sung with a good spirit After several selections were lender ed by the band the people enjoyed themselves in the grove. All were pleased with the day and feel assured that the S. S. cause i-° alive in this section. ('oo|M'rnto\vii. During the severe storm of bn.t Fri day afternoon Mr. Starrs new barn at Glade Mills was struck by lightning aud was totally consumed. He suc ceeded in saving his team, but lost his entire crop of hay and grain. About the same time an oil tank on the Win. Brown farm was struck and burned. Much damage was done to the roads in this section. The boom in the oil market is en con raging the drilling of a good many wells—Eisler & Co. have a rig up on the Sauler farm one location in advance of the Sterling well which they brought in a few weeks since. This well is still pumping 40 bbls. a day and increasing its production. The same company also have a rig up on the Anderson Hazlett. Greenwood & ('o are drilling on the John Kittman Mrs Calhoun has a rig upon the Montgomery about 50 feet from the Eisler well on the Stirling. Newton Cooper met with a fatal w cident near bin home at McFano on the 20th of August. He wan eugaged in catting timber and wan struck by a falling tree. The blow canned concus nion of the brain. He remained an concious until his death which occurred on Sunday, Kept iird. A baby arrived at th'- home of Mr Henry Blakely, last week its a boy. The new residence of Miss Lizzie Brown is about completed. Supt Gregeory thinks some people take him for a collecting agency. ()n last Thursday the Union Sunday Hchonls of Batler county held a basket jiicnic at Maple Grove. Altout a dozen different Sunday schools were represent ed. A very enjoyable day was spent. Last week Mr. .John Brown got his arm caught in the belt of a threshing machine and received a very severe in jury. The bones of his fore arm were broken and split and it looked as if amputation would be necessary Mr. Urown telegraphed for his couflin, I'r John Urown, of Wilmington, l*a., who is a skilful surgeon, and there is good reason to think that Mr Brown will continue to wear both arum as usual. The plank road through Cooperstown has received some much needed repairs. The United Presbyterian congrega tion are building a new church on Main street The old one is situated nearly a mile from town and is very inconveni ent for the citizens who do not own their own conveyances.

The >lcCall Reunion. i It was my good fortune to be at the i re-union of the McCall family, held in i the grove on the Samuel Sutton farm in •Clay township, where, at 10 o'clock j could be seen coming on all the roads in j wagon and buggies, as well as people i walking with their baskets well stored j with the good things of this life. And j while the ladies were arranging things j for dinner, the audience was enjoying ' themselves in friendly intercourse re newing old acquaintance and forming new ones, and having a good time in general. At noon dinner was announc ed and the i»eople requested to be seat ed which was done. The blessing of God was invoked by Rev.

May we all be ever like him when the call comes to us. He was loved by all his friends and neighbors. He leaves a wife and three small children to mourn the loss of a dear father.
