Extra Session Talk.
A special from Philadelphia to the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, of yes
terday said: Ex-Senator Quay is said
to have learned through Senator Pen
rose Sunday night that the indications
are that the United States senate will
not admit him as a member of that body
on the certificate issued by Gov. Stone.
It is known that Senator Penrose has
been canvassing the members of the
United States senate to learn their atti
tude toward the admission of-ex-Senator
Qnay as the appointee of Governor
Stone. It is said that Senator Penrose
was able to go over the situation with
ex-Senator Quay, and the conclusion
they arrived at was that enough sena
tors would not vote for the latter s ad
mission unless they could be induced to
change their minds before the question
comes np in the senate.
The result was that the ex-senator de
cided that it would be better to rely up
on an extra session of the legislature to
give him his old seat in the senate than
to go there with the governor's appoint
ment and be rejected. It is, therefore,
believed that the Quay lieutenants will
be instructed to redouble their efforts to
induce "insurgent" members of the leg
islature to pledge themselves to go into
a caucus of the Republican members of
the legislature to select a candidate for
United States senator. The refusal of
the senate to seat Mr. Quay would be
regarded as disastrous to his leadership
and his chances of controlling the next
legislature, and the ex-senator is most
anxious now, it is said, to have the va
cancy filled by the present legislature
called into extra session by the govern
or.
Ex-Senator Quay is expected to take
charge of his own campaign, and inci
dentally to direct the campaign for the
Republican state ticket in a manner that
will bring out the Republican vote, as
he considers that essential to his own
success. The ex-senator will come to
Philadelphia often during the next six
weeks, and when he is not here he will
be in consultation with State Chairman
Reeder by long distant telephone, which
rnns into his Lancaster county home.
The issuance of a writ by Lieut-Gov.
Gobin to fill the vacancy in the senate
caused by the death of Col. Hawkins, it
is believed, was done at the instance of
ex-senator Quay, who is counting on the
election of a candidate who will vote for
him in an extra session.
OVER the wires went the news last
Saturday noon that Dreyfus had been
convicted —a fact that will cost France
millions of money and the respect of
the civilized world.
Tli« Dreyfus Verdict.
At Rennes, France, last Saturday,
Capt. Dreytus was again convicted by a
military court of a crime of which the ■
civilized world believes him innocent 1
and sentenced to ten years inprison- (
ment, his four years on Devils Island to
count as part of the sentence.
It is believed, however, that the (
French goyernment will modify the sen- (
tence, as the trial was a travesty from (
beginning to end. ,
The text of the judgment was as fol- f
lows: Today, the 9th of September,
1899, the court-martial of the Tenth
Region Army Corps, deliberating be
hind closed doors, the president put the
following question;
"Is Alfred Dreyfus, brevet captain, ,
Fourteenth regiment of artillery proba
tioner, on the general staff, guilty of
having in 1894 entered into machina
tions or held relations with a foreign
power or one of its agents to induce it
to commit hostility or undertake war
against France, or procure it the means
therefor by delivering the notes and
documents mentioned in the documents
called the bordereau, according to the
decision of the court of cassation of
June 31, 1899?
The votes were taken separately, be
ginning by th 9 inferior grade and
youngest in the last grade, the president
having given his opinion last. The
court declares on the question by a ma
jority of five votes to two, "yes, the ac
cused is guilty." The majority agreed
that there are extenuatingcircumtances
in consequence of which, and on the re
quest of the commissary of the govern
ment. the president put the question
and received again the votes in the
above-mentioned form.
As a result, the court condemns, by a
majority of five votes to two, Alfred
Dreyfus to the punishment of ten years'
detention.
There were pathetic scenes about the
court-room, and disturbances in Rennes.
Paris, and other places when the verdict
became known, and the wave of in
dignation that spread over the entire
civilized world was illustrated by the
informal meetingof the most piominent
merchants in St. Louis held that after
noon shortly after the Dreyfus decision
became known, when it was unanimous
ly agreed that not one of them would
attend the Pairs exposition nor make
an exhibit.

It is not always your fussy fellows
who attain the greatest results- some
times your quiet men get there first.
Butler is to have a new and nood in
dustry, and its locating here is due al
most entirely to the efforts of Dr. J. C .
Redick.
It happened this way. Some months
ago Dr. Redick, while talking to his old
friend Mr Davis, in Pittsbnrg learned
from him that he intended re-entering
the business of manufacting white-lead,
and had organized a company for that
purpose. Mr. Davis was the former
head of the Davis-Chambers White
lead Co., which sold out to the trust
some years ago, and he intended locating
his new plant in or about Pittsburg.
Mr. Redick presented the advantages
of Butler for location, and made several
visits to Pittsburg to press them, and
indnced Mr. Davis to come and see the
town, and secured options on property
on both sides of the town, and with the
aid of Mr. Ritts secured subscriptions
for SIOO,OOO of stock here: and finally
landed the concern. And the plans
have been made, and brick and iron and
stone contracted for. and the contract
for the work will probably be let dur
ing the latter part of this week or first
of next, for the company are anxious
to have the corroding hall under roof
withip sixty days.
The Company preferred locating :u
the West side of town, and five acres
were purchased at a reasonable rate
from Judge Bredin; and Chas. Duffv
donated five acres adjoining, upon
conditions. The property lies between
the Fair Grounds and the creek, and as
Negley Ave. was projected through it,
the Council at its meeting of Monday
evening, vacated that part of the street,
and provided for an outlet to the Fair
Grounds on Willow street.
The plant will consist of two large
buildings -the factory 80x112 feet, and
four stories of Drick; and the corroding
house 144x208, one or two stories: and
several small building. The capital
stock is $400,000, all subscribed.
Some of the parties interested are
Penn'a R. R. men who guarantee that
the "Pennsy" will be run to the plant,
though whether it will get there by
connecting with the "Bessie'. by tun
nelling under, or running through the
northern part of the town is not yet
known.
And since it has become known that
the white-lead company intend locating
here several other manufacturers have
been looking at Butler: an iron man
was here Monday who said his freight
bills were now SBO,OOO a year, an ex
pense that he wants to reduce, and a
glass man was also here—and if Butler
is not at the beginning of a great
"boom" that will fill our west side with
factories we are greatly mistaken.
A Terrible Affair.
John Nelson of the S. S. Pittsburg,
Sup'd't of the Hansen Glass Co., was
terribly abused in the woods near Great
Belt, Wednesday, by some men, who
evidently mistook him for another man.
A Pittsburg paper gave the following
account of the affair: "Mr. Nelson left
Pittsburg Wednesday morning to visit
his brother-in-law, Joseph Stutz, a
farmer and owner of a number of oil
wells south of Great Belt. He was ac
companied by his 5-year-old son. After
supper he started for an oil well to meet
his brother-in-law. He had to pass
through a dense woods. As he entered
he met three men attired in the garb of
oil well drillers. They spoke to Nelson
who returned their salutation, passing
on. Just as he passed the men he was
knocked down by a heavy club and
rendered unconscious. While in this
state he was pounded with a sand-bag
and beaten terribly. Both arms were
broken, and one shoulder blade fractur
ed. One heavy blow was on the skull.
The assault occurred about 8:30 o'clock
and it was over half an hour before he
regained consciousness. Nelson crawl
ed 250 feet to a drilling oil well, being
guided by the sound of the voices of 25
people there and the noise of the drill
working. The injured man was taken
back to the house, and after the story of
the assault was learned a party of men
started out to run down the thugs.
Nelson had 011 his person over ><2oo
and a gold watch, which were not dis
turbed."
Mr. Nelson's wounds were dressed
and he was taken to a Pittsburg hospital
next day.
The McCorniiek Case.
At Uniontown last Saturday, Win.
McCormick, an aged blind man, and
brother of Sheriff McCormick, was ac
quitted of the charge of murdering Mrs.
Monaghan, the mother of his mistress.
When the jury went out Friday evening
they stood six for conviction and six for
acquittal on the first ballot. Of those
for conyiction two were for first degree,
one for second degree and three for man
slaughter. They argued the case until
morning when another vote was taken,
resulting unanimously for acquittal.
McCormick broke into his mistress' bed
room in the dead of night, and attacked
her while in bed with another man.
The woman's mother interfered, and
was killed during the fight.
