Woolley of Illinois for President and Ilenry B. Metcalff of R. I. for Vice President. The vote on President was Woolley 380, Swallowß2o, bat Swallow would not take second place. The platform has bnt one "plank" in sixteen sections. A political sensation was sprang at Pottsville, last week, which *MAV have a far-reaching effect at the com ing general election. Daniel Thomas, the antiQtfay candidate for assembly in the First Legi9lotive district, who was returned as defeated by Dr H. G. Reitzel, Quayite, and census supervisor, has filed a protest with the Republican county chairman, C. E. Quail. With his protest Mr. Thomas has presented 11 paper signed by delegates to the con vention representing 31 of the 59 votes in that body, accompanied by affidavits, stating that they voted for him. Mr. Thomas claims also, that several dele gates were deprived of their proper vote in the convention. THE Chinaman's cue has made the world forget Oom Paul's whiskers. The New York Holocaust. This country has been the scene of some great disasters, but none more horrible in details, than that at the wharves of Hoboken.on the Hudson river opposite New York city, last Saturday, week. The wharves or piers for the ocean steamers are great, two-story affairs, |. /""" their first floors are used for freight and second for passenger traffic. That afternoon, while several large steamers were lying at their docks,some baled cotton on one of the piers took fire by spontaneous combustion, and the alarm was given; but the fire promptly ignited a pyramid of barrels of whis key, standing alongside the cotton, the whiskey barrels exploded, the liquor took fife, and thi.W.uid carried a great sheet of flame over that pier, the decks of those great steamers and to another pier, almost instantaneously. Men in in the steamers who knew of the fire in the cotton bales (not an extraordinary occurence) suddenly found themselves ■ , penned up in iron vessels, with the BK wooden upper deck burning over them, and no hope of escape. Three hundred men thus endured the torture of slow death. The vessels were pulled from their wharves and floated down the Y~ —' river, with the victims yelling for help from the small, round, port holes. A few almost miraculous escapes were re corded, and it is known that some com mitted suicide, rather than endure death by burning. Many jumped from the piers and steamers, some of whom were drowned. The hospitals of New York were filled with the injured, and the morgue*. with the dead, next day. It was one of the most heart-rend ing affairs that has ever happened in this country, and ought to end TBE w—- vrucon »•» practice of EARN - '*"-" —«m-Yessel3. Tl*«-+*c r rVuKTatie Convention.

The butchery is said to have taken place on .Tune 30th or July Ist; but as the city is now in the hands of the revolutionary govern ment no definite confirmation or denial of the report has l>een received. It is known that Baron Yon Kettler. the Ambassador for the German Em pire, and whose wife is an American girl, was killed on the streets by the rebels or "Boxers a few days before and the German Emperor promptly ordered 30,000 troops and a squadron of armed vessels to start for Northern China. Japan shipped about 30.W0 infantry and cavalry; our government ordered troops from Manila: the British Government ordered troops from India the Russians are sending an army down from Siberia, and a war of extermina tion on the Boxers, with complications that will involve all the civilized gov ernments of the world, will follow. Yesterday, the rebels under Prince Tuan, who had declared himself Em peror. were said to be in complete j>os session of Pekin, and to be attacking Tien Tsin with an army of 75,000, equi pped with modern rifles, and having a hundred pieces of modern artillery. One Russian company helping to defend the city was reported to have lost 115 out of I*2o men. and the allies would have been annihilated had it not been for a tre mendous rain and the arrival of rein forcements. The Japanese troops were landing at Che Foo. The "Boxer" or anti-foreign and anti missionary feeling has been growing in China for years; the senseless bombard ment of the Chinese forts at Taku seemed to infuriate and increase the faction, aud cause them to organize with Prince Tuan as their leader, and he according to report lias completely subverted the government, murdered the youthful Emperor and made the Dowager Empress a prisoner. On the other hand two other Princes of the royal family—YungLu and Ching are said to be supporting the Empress, with that part of the regular army that has not deserted to the Boxers and to t>e preventing the slaughter of the foreign legations all of whom are said to be de fending themselves in the compounds, or enclosed gardens of the British and American legations. The allied forces from the foreign vessels at Taku harboc, which started for Pekin, under command of Admiral Seymour of the British Navy, were de feated and compelled to retreat to the foreign quarter of Tien Tsin. a city of a million people, on the Pei Ho river be tween the harbor of Taku and Pekin: and were then attacked by a large Chinese army, under command of a Boxer general. Lack of definite information from Pekin since Prince Tuan became su preme, about ten days ago. is particu larly trying to those who have friends and relatives there. Our minister is Gen. Conger of lowa, who, with his wife and daughters, and some visiting friends, occupied the American legation compound at the time of the outbreak. This revolution in China, the ascend ency of the Boxers or anti-foreign ele ment, with an army of well drilled and well armed men,has ended the complais ant talk of the partition of China by the European governments, caused them to sink their jealousy of each oth er and of Japan, and unite in an effort to establish a stable government, but as the Chinese are great in numbers and wealth, if not in spirit and courage, a long and bloody war, with religious fanaticism on one side, will probably follow. Proclamations like this: "The Holy, God of War arouses the Buddhist, world 011 account of the de praved sects of Protestant and Catho lic Christians, who insultingly over power the Tsing Dynasty. Millions of spiritual soldiers will destroy the de praved sects without the calamities caused by earthly armies." Are being distributed over the whole country, and the Boxers' war song says that: God assists the Boxers, The Patriotic Harmonious Corps: It is because the Foreign Devils'disturb the Middle Kingdom. Urging the people to join their religion To turn their backs on heaven: Venerate not the Gods aud forget their Ancestors. ______ Men violate tv>e i»*!»»»««■ ■ _opn "-itn •■- Devils are " not produced by mankind. If you doubt this, Look at them carefully; The eyes of the Foreign Devils are blu ish. No rain falls, The earth is getting dry. This is because the Churches stop the heaven. The Gods are angry. The Genii are vexed; Both are come down from the mountain to deliver the doctrine This is not hearsay. The practice will not be in vain To recite incantations and pronounce magic words. Burn up the yellow written prayers: Light incense sticks: To invite the Gods and Genii of all the grottoes (Halls). The Gods will come out of the grottoes. The Genii, will come down from the mountains, And supiwrt the human bodies to prac tise the boxing, When all the military accomplishments or tactics Are fully learned. I It will not l>e difficult to determine the ! "Foreign Devils'' then. Push aside the railway tracks. Pull out the telegraph [Miles. Immediately after this destroy the steamers. The great France Will grow cold and down hearted; The English and Russians will certainly disperse, Let the various "Foreign Devils ' all lx> killed May the whole elegant Empire of the Great Ching dynasty be ever pros perous. The Storm nt Eueliil. Euclid was visited, last Thursday eveniug. by one the worst electrical storms known in years. About6:3o p.m. Mrs. Robert Burns, who lives in the Beechem house in Euclid and Minnie Stoner. a young lady friend visiting her had a thrilling experience and a narrow escape from instant death The house was struck by lightning, the bolt striking the roof and running down the inside of the house, tearing olf splinters. When near the floor the lightning left the wall and is supposed to have followed dry currents of air out of the open door to tlio uioist atmos phere. Mrs. Burns was just outside the door, arranging some flowers, and was terribly shocked and rendered uncon scious. Miss Stoner was standing in the open door and the lightning struck her back of the left ear, searing and blackening I the skin as it ran down the mussels of I her neck to a small gold collar button. | blackening and corroding it and burning the flesh under it; when it scattered j over he,r body and striking a gold ring on her finger, burnt the finger. She j was also rendered unconscious Neighbors saw the ladies fall and ran | to their rescue. After working wit h I them for sometime they succeeded in 1 resuscitating them, and they are now 1, able to be up again, but feel the effects ! of the terrible experience which they ; [tassed through. Soon after the hou> was struck the lightning shattered a ! large tree standing bnt a short distance j 1 from the house. G. j j Good for Sliiloh. AMERICAN MISSION. NORTH INDIA, ■ MAY 10TH, 1900. 1 DEAR MR. NEGLEY; 1 Will yon please acknowledge through the BUTLER CITIZEN the receipt of fif- , teen dollars received by me from tbe Benefit Society for "the starving of India" of Shiloh I'. P. congregation and allow me through vonr paper to thank these kind friends for their gift. I would assure these friends that their gift is most timely for although I have j given yon my regular address 1 am at 11 present almost a thousand miles from • j my homo in the Punjab and am in the , 1 heart of the famine, where people are | dying all around me of starvation aud | i cholera. I have had a man here rescu : ing children for about two weeks. He 1 I told me last night that he had abont 300 , | collected and 80 of that number had died j jof cholera. We have at present one | D hundred and fifty-four and we expect i 1 I to gather up about three hundred and | take them to the Punjab. I expect to ] have charge of about one hundred of 1 these little ones at my home at Pasrur j near Sialhah. ; How I wish all my Butler county friends conld see these witle ones. What a bundle of skin and bones they are' Many of them are entirely naked ' others with a few rags tied about them. Some of them are too weak to set up and in spite of all we can do will die. Two died last night. As I walked out ' this morning to the place we have tie m. - which is about a five minute walk from i the mission house. I saw the head of a a little child the rest of the body had been devoured by the dogs. Some places the people are dying so f fast that the bodies cannot be removed 1 fast enough. It would be hard to oyer draw the pictures of the terrible famine in this land—God have mercy upon poor India. ? I would ask again that all the friends would do what they can to help us save the people, Especially the little children. Your money will reach the needy - 1 and God will bless you in return. Yours for service. T EMMA DEAN ANDERSON. 3 A Marriage Anniversary in Cran berry Township. June 29th, 1900. was a gala day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Graham.
