ELECTION NOTES.
In Crawford County. 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."

Lines in memory of Liiia E. Burton,
who died Feb. 30, 1900. She was an af
fectionate and dutiful daughter, a kind
and loving sister, and respected by all
who knew her. and she has been called,
we trust, to a home of happiness and
rest.
Our dear, beloved Lina was called away
From us who fondly loved, and dear.
To heavenly mansions built above the
skies:
We have no doubt, we have no fear.
No we, bereft, must do without thee.
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.

Is resting death's cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We haye kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have r.o mother now.
Through all pain at times she'd smile,
A smile of heavenly birth.
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth,
Heaven retaineth now our treasure
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams long to linger
Where our sainted mother sleeps.
We miss thee from our home mother.
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine ol' thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
< >nr home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

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.
