POLITICAL.
At Chicago on the 28th nit. the Pro
hibs. nominated John G. 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.

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

'KESKN
The Chinese Horro^^^
The civilized world was last
week by the reported slaughter of all
the foreign legations in Pekiu. the Capi
tal of the Chinese empire. 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

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.
