Saturday,which has always been strongly Qua}*. the Antis nominated one man for Assembly, and the Quavites, the other two. In the 13th Congressional Delegate District. Ira Ziegler. of Zelienople. had 260 votes and S. M. Irvine, of Lvans City, 96. , TM 4 • * in the 15th Congressional District, .ToeiahM. Thompson had 173 rotes and Harlan Book 04. . These were the only districts in which there were contests. DOWN in Middlesex township some people are wondering when the lorest is going to have another election. WHEN John Dalzell was a candidate for United States Senator the Quayites called him "Corporation John," and now that the Standard Oil Co. has un dertaken to re-elect- M. S. Quay, he should be called "Corporation Matthew. THE bars of Butler were open last Saturday, tliongh it has been customary to have them closed on all election days, including primaries. A special indul gence or dispensation was probably is snsd for the day, which, consider ing the amount of money the Quavites had to spend was a very appropriate thing to do. THE Republicans of this county who stand for decent politics were defeated last Saturday by the use of money in larsre sums. The French Belgian vote of the First Ward. Butler, alone, is said to have cost the Quavites five hundred dollars. The advent of the Standard Oil Co.. and its branches, the Forest and South Penn. into the politics of the county is a menace to our individual and collect ive rights; and a purchasable vote like that of the foreign element of our First Ward is a burlesque on American citizenship. SATURDAY'S primary election was the fiercest fought contest that has stirred up the Republican party in this county in many years. The anti-Quay side had the advantage of the county organization and the prestige of an anti-Quay victory last year, while the Quay side had the aid of the State Quay machine, the Standard Oil Co s branches in Butler county, the postmasters and prospective census enumerators and the influence of the Court. Both sides ac cuse tbe other of using money and it is well known that it was used, but whether in snch ways as could be term ed illegal is another question. Butler borough went Quay by 250 votes and the county was about a standoff, leav ing the borough as the place where the victory was gained, Kentucky. On Friday the preliminary hearing of Caleb Powers, Taylor's Sec y of State, and accused of being implicated in Goebel's murder, was begun, with the Court House surrounded by militia. On Saturday a young mountaineer named Wharton went on the stand and told of an alleged conspiracy among members of Gov. Taylor's govei*nment, and including the Govenor himself, to bring a lot of mountaineers to Frank fort for the purpose of killing off enough Democratic members of the legislature to make both House 3 Republican. His story is incredible, and will not be be lieved unless strongly corrol>orated, in view of the Targe reward voted by the legislature for information or evidence. TIIK AFRICAN WAR. On Friday there was reported skirm ishing near Mafeking. but the town had not, yet been relieved. On Saturday Gen. Roberts was yet at Bloemfontein. A party of British offi cers who rode out several miles were all killed or wounded. Yesterday word was received of the death of Gen. Joubert at Pretoria, which was caused by stomach trouble. Gen. Roberts expects to begin his march northward from Bloemfontein next Monday. SOME of our National Senators would do better to "say nothing, but saw wood." Harmony ami Zelienople.

Lina, As God, our Heavenly Father, willed: There is a vacant chair and place at home Which never can again be filled. It is sad and lonely now at home, For one we loved is absent here. And still we think we hear the gentle voice— Thy welcome footstep, oh how dear. We fondly hoped that God would let thee live For many long and happy years Cut He. from toil, did ("ill thee home. And we are left alone in tears. 'Twas hard for us to part with thee, dear Lina, Whom we so dearly, fondly loved. But now it sooths our aching, breaking hearts To think thou art at home above. Thou art not dead, we know full well, Though hid awhile from mortal eyis. We hope that we shall meet thee once again, At home beyond the azure skies. To be with thee forever in the land. Where saints and holy angels dwell. To sing the songs of Moses and the Lamb. The anthem of creation swell. And may the thought that thou art h.ip py now. Redeemed ami saved by Christ, in love, Console onr aching hearts, and closer ! bind Us to our Heavenly heme above. SISTERS. Pelrolia.

She tloesnot think it nec essary for other nations to put their oars in. The CnrncjiH' Frick Settlement. Andrew Carnegie, Henry Phipps ami some other members of the Carnegie Steel Co , met at Atlantic City last week, and settled their differences, and arranged for a reorganization of the great company, under a New Jersey charter. The new organization will include all the iron mills, coke plants, bridge works, etc. of the old company, the aggregate estimated value of which is about $250,000,000 At the Atlantic City conference, a New York lawyer named Dill acted as mediator. He labored for days to bring representatives of the opposing interests together, and succeeded with the meet ing at Atlantic City. At this meeting there were present, in addition to Mr. Carnegie and Henry Phipps, Mr. Frick's representative. Francis '£'. F. Lovejoy, Lawrence C. Phipps, Charles M. Schwab, Andrew M. MorelaLd, James Gayley, Thomas Morrison i>nd Daniel M. Clem son. Mr. Dill briefly reviewed the situa tion and pointed out the great necessity for avoiding costly litigation. Finally, taking two sheets of paper, he banded one to Mr. Carnegie and the other to Henry Phipps. "Now," said Mr. Dill to Mr. Carnegie, kindly note on that piece of paper, what you consider .1 fair price for your interests in the steel and coke compan ies. "You. Mr. Phipps," continued Mr. Dill, "put on your sheet of paper what Mr. Frick considers a fair valuation of his interests. 1 infer he has informed you 011 that point." Mr. Phipps nodded assent. Then Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Phipps each made some figures, which Mr. Dill declines to make public, and sub mitted them to the lawyer. Mr. Dill then handed Mr. Phipps' estimate to Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Carnegie's to Mr. Phipps with the remark: "Do you consider that a fair figure';" "I do" answered Mr. Carnegie. "So do I," responded Mr. Phipps. "That is well," remarked Mr. Dill, "because it disposes of what might have been a serious obstacle to a possible settlement." "There is a saying in Scotland," added Mr. Carnegie, "that wise men are often benefited by taking the advice of fools." "In this case," said Mr. Dill, "I was the fool, and glad to serve in that capac ity because this country cannot afford to have such vast interests as those of Mr. Carnegie and Mr Frick at odds." Mr. Dill suggt -ted that a new corpora tion be formed, to be known as the Car negie company, and organized under the laws of New Jersey. This was ac quiesced in, and the conference came to a close. On Fiiday the stock of the new com pany to the amount of $1 G0,000,000, was subscribed to in Pittsburg. Twenty millionares were present at the meeting. BUTLER BUSINESS COLLEGE. COURSES.
