THK CITIZEN. WILLIAM C. NFOLEY - - Publisher THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2 2, 1900. AJTHOUNCEM ENTS. (Subject to the Republican Primary.) For Justice of the Peace, MAJOR C. E. ANDERSON. POLITICAL This Congressional district now has a population of 227,823, or nearly 28,000 more than the new ratio of 200,00*). which the next Congress will probably adopt. During the late campaign. Hon. John H. Mitchell of Oregan. made a speech at Salem, that State, October 30 nit., which is one of the best we have ever read and it must have had quite an in fluence in carrying Oregon for the Re publican party. Senator Mitchell was formerly one of our citizens and many here retain the warmest friendship and best wishes for him. Quay returned from Florida last Sat urday, and addressed the following letter to each member-elect of the Legislature: / "Dear Sir—ln view of the fact that the last Republican State convention by resolution insisted that I should be a candidate for United States Senator,you will probably not consider it impertin ent if I ask you whether you will sup port rce in case I should be nominated by a caucus of Republican Senators and members of the House of Representa tives." « At the end of the last session Quay had 96 votes, or 32 less than a sufficient number to elect him, After the elec tion he claimed 150 votes and some of his friends were indiscreet enough to claim that he had 157 votes. Two years ago, after the election, the Quay men claimed 166 votes. The question, how Quay can be defeated, when he gained 30 votes may mislead a few. and it is probably worth answering. We do not concede Quay gained 30. But suppose he made them, there is another proposi tion which they do not account for. The anti-Quayites without counting any members but those who have publicly gone on record, made gains of not less than 20, which would leave Quay a pos sible net gain of 10, if he was given everything that was claimed for him. The last bailot on the senatorship in 1899 showed 96 votes for Quay and 157 against fcim. His friends now claim that he has gained 32, wliich give him only 128, just the number necessary to elect him. In the list of claims they have made, however, there are a num ber that have declared their intention to vote against Quay. Not counting with these the net gaiu of 20 which we made, one can readily see that Quay is no nearer an election than he was in 1899. -Ex. Election Echoes. The official vote of Allegheny Co. was declared last Friday to be—Mc- Kinley and Roosevelt, 71,780, Bryan and Stevenson, 27,311. The counting of the electoral vote takes place the second Wednesday in February. On that day the big hall of the House of Representatives will be the scene of an interesting ceremony. Both Houses of Congress will assemble in joint session, Senator Frye, of Maine, presiding. One Republican and one Democrat from each body will be ap- H pointed tellers. Frye will open the envelopes contain ing the certificates of electoral votes, handing the contents to the tellers, who will read the certificates aloud. The presiding officer will then announce the result and declare McKinley and Roose velt elected President and Vice Presi dent of the United States. There's a possibility when the vote of Kentucky is aunonnced there will be some excite ment. Census Figures. According to the census figures, an nounced Monday, this county has a pop ulation of 66, 962. A gain of but 1,623 in ten years, which is accounted for by so many of our people following the oil developments into West Virginia and other states. The population of the counties con nected with us politically arer Arm strong 52,551, Beaver 56,432, Lawrence 57,042, Mercer 57,887. Allegheny Co., has a population of 775,058, a gain in the ten years of 223, 099 The state was 6,302,115. an in crease of 1,044,101, or nearly 20 per cent. While there is a gratifying increase in the population of the State, it is in teresting to note also that nearly all the counties share in the increase, the ex ceptions being, Cameron, Clarion, Cen tre, Crawford, Fulton. Greene, Hun tingdon, Juniata, Pike, Susquehanna, Tioga and Wayne. Cameron lost 190; Centre, 375; Clarion, 2,519; Crawford, 1,691; Greene, 654; and Huntingdon, 1, 101. Of the western counties, Westmoreland with 47,356, and Cambria with 38,462. lead those which increased in population, Cambria having the largest percentage of gain of the two. Fayette ranks next with 30, 406. and is followed by Washington, with, 21,026; Lawrence, 19,525; Jef ferson. 15,108; Blair, 14,233, Somerset, 12,144; Clearfield, 11,149. and Elk. 10, 664. The smallest increase is in Ind iana, which has a gain of 381. Under the constitution counties with over *IOO,OOO inhabitants must be dis tricted for legislative purposes. Cambria, Westmoreland and York are now in this class. In counties with over a population of 150,000 separate Orphan's courts must be established and the county officers must be paid by salary and not by fees, provisions which now apply to Westmoreland, Lancaster, Lackawanna and Berks. The latter county, however, has already a separate Orphan's court, the Legislature having power to establish such courts at its discretion. Somerset is the only coun ty entitled to its own Common Pleas judge, owing to an increase over the 40,000 limit. Bedford, which now forms a judicial district with Somerset, lacks 532 of having enough population to give it a judge, and Warren, now join ed to Forest, falls 1,054 short. An Enjoyable Event. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Renfrew of Ren frew gave a reception on Wednesday evening, Nov. 14, 1900, in honor of their son, Ira, and his bride, who was former ly Miss Lillian Powell. The evening was delightful, and upon the arrival of the 0:10 train the happy couple were re ceived by a delegation including a rice shower. They were escorted to the home of the groom's parents, where the guests were waiting to receive them. After congratulations all repaired to the dining room, finding the tables beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ladened with rich provisions. The supper hour was much enjoyed by all, j D. N. Crowe acting as toastmaster. The bride received many beautiful' and useful presents, including silver- ' ware, table linens, bric-a-brac, china. ; etc. Among the guests in attendance e re membered by those present. Mc. Poor China. In the German Reichstag, Monday, Chancellor von Buelow made known the demands npon the Chinese govern ment that had l>een agreed upon by the foreign ministers in Pekin. They are: "China shall erect a monument to Baron von Ketteler on the site where he was murdered and send an imperial prince to Germany to convey an apology. She shall inflict the death penalty upon 11 princes and officials already named and suspend provincial examinations for five years where the outrages oc enrred. In future all officials failing to prevent anti-foreign outrages within their jurisdiction shall be dismissed and punished. Indemnity shall be paid to states, corporations and individuals. The Tsnng Li Yanien shall be abolished, and its functions vested in a foreign minister. Rational intercouse shall be permitted with the Emperor, as in civilized countries. The forts at Taku and the other forts on the coast of Chi Li shall be razed and the importation of arms and war material prohibited. Permanent legation guards shall be maintained, and also guards of com municatiau between Pekin and the sea. Imperial proclamations shall be posted for two years throughout the empire suppressing Boxers. Indemnity is to include compensation for Chinese who suffered through being employed by for eigners. but not compensation for na tive Christians. China shall erect ex piatorv monuments in every foreign or international burial ground where graves have been profaned. The Chinese government shall undertake to enter upon negotiations for such changes in existing treaties regarding trade and navigation as the foreign governments deem advisable and with reference to other matters having in view the fac ilitation of commercial relations. " THE Russians seem to be elevating the heathen Chinese to their places in the other world by the immersion pro cess, several thousand at a time. The Winfield liranch. A Pittsburg paper says that the Win field branch has been leased to some capitalists of that City, who have or ganized to operate it, with Frederick W. McKee, as president; W. E. Cam ahan, vice president; Sion B. Smith, secretary and treasurer and D. S. Beeler manager. This company has now val uable limestone mines along the Win field branch road, and the present out put averages about 25 cars a day. Re cently larger holdings have been obtain ed so that the company now has 1.400 acres of land, rich in coal, limestone, sand and natural gas It is now plan ned to develope this territory as rapid ly as possible, and to build up the town of West Winfield. In order to do this it was thought best to have control of the branch railroad, and a few weeks ago if was leased from the Penn sylvania with the privilege of running trains over the Pennyslvania's tracks to Butler Junction. The new company has bought its own engines and pas senger cars and will run two trains a day each way from West Winfield to Butler Junction. This will also open up a new passenger service, for until the present time the branch has never had passenger trains. The Winfield company has another project in view, which is to be taken up next summer. It is the building of a summer hotel and pleasure resort at Winfield. The road follows Buffalo creek, which is most picturesque, hav ing many ideal spots for a big summer resort within less than two hours' ride from Pittsburg. It had been intended to run trains on the line, starting last Monday, but the opening has been post poned for a week. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. At Weston, W. Ga., the county seat of Lewis county, and the nearest large town to the Copley and Turner gushers, $36000 worth of real estate changed hands and 200 new residents arrived in one day. After a banquet given at the Hotel Schenley, Pittsburg, last Thursday, Andrew Carnegie offered to build a polytechnic or technical school, and endow it with gold bonds that would yield a revenue of $50,000 a year if the city would furnish a site. His letter to the Mayor shows that he has msde a study of similar schools in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago and several English cities. The Second Annual Fat Stock show opened at the East Liberty Stock Yards last Friday morning and closed Monday evening. * The two animals that at tracted the most attention were a steer exhibited by Hon. Frank McLain of Lancaster, recently re-elccted to the Pennsylvania Legislature. It weighs 3,900 pounds, and is said to be the larg est in the world and a steer which George Offut of Rush county. Ind., had on exhibition. It weighs 3,200 pounds and is honored by the name of William McKinley. This is not the season for fly stories, but the following from Akron, Ohio, takes the cake: "The cornerstone of the old High school building, which is being torn down to make room for the new Pennsylvania freight station, was removed today. As the papers were taken out of a"sealed box, which held them, a blue bottlefly buzzed out from among them. The fly had been in the box since the corner stone was laid 50 years ago. An Altoona young lady went to the Railroad station to flirt with some Com mercial Travelers. They playfully stood her on her head and now she is mad about it. Carl Powell, of Grove City, was held up by a highwayman Saturday evening,a short distance south of that town, while returning home from Slippery rock. Mr Powell gave the robber all his loose change, 41 cents, also three cigarettes, when he was allowed to de part. Two schools in Conneaut were closed last week 011 account of cases ofdiphthe ria breaking out among the pupils Washigton county last Saturday dedi cated what it proudly claimes to be the finest County building in the Ktate. Their claim, to all appearances, seems well founded, for the architect and builder have nothing left undone, and the structure now stands a fitting mon ument to the present generation of one of the wealthiest and mort progressive counties of the Keystone State. AT Limon, Colorado, last Friday, a young negrc was burned at the stake for assaulting and murdering a girl. Fairview. The marriage of George W. Board of Turtle Creek and Edith Madge Temple ton of this place was solemnized atl 1:80 a m , last Thursday at the resilience of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Templeton. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. Fidler of tbe M. E. Church. The bride is an only daughter and was one of Fairview's most popular young ladies. Mr. Board is one of Turtle (.'reek's en terprising business men. The bride wore a handsome gown trimmed in cream taffeta and Persian embroidery and carried a boquet of white chrysan themums. The house was decorated with ferns and white and yellow chrys anthemums. After the ceremony, an elegant dinner was served and then the happy couple left on an early train to enjoy a short wedding trip. Mr. and Mrs."Board will be at home to their many friends at their residence in Tur tle Creek after Dec. Ist. Miss Rosetta P. Timblin, formerly of this place, now ol' (tood Will Mission, 8. Dakota, was married on Tuesday, Nov. 13. to Win. C. Ferver of that place. His former residence was New Wil mington. Lawrence county. Mr. Fer i ver is a graduate of Westminster Col i lege and is at present principal of the I (iood Will Mission school. Owing to the work in which Mr. and Mrs Ferver are engaged it is impossible for them to take a wedding trip at present, but they hope to visit their many eastern friends ' during their next summer vacation. : The bride and groom have the best wishes of their many friends in this place. T. I Advertise iu tbe CITIZEN. ARMY LIFK IN CHINA TSIN, CHINA, July 16. 1900. M. L. Heck art of Kansas, a nephew of W. D. Brandon of Butler, wrote his mother aD interesting letter from Tien Tsin. China, shortly after the capture of that city, from which we take the fol lowing:— DEAR MOTHER:— On the morning of the nth we finished loading the lighters The first battalion boarded the first lighter, and we the second. Before we got started our lighter was leaking so badly that E company was taken off and put in the first lighter, and they had to bail water all the way up here. Seven boats of marines came and made fast to the rear lighter. General Liscomb bjarded the launch that pulled us. and the procession started with our band playing We steamed three hours when we could see land, and another big launch and two small ones from the Newark and Brooklyn, came and divided up the load. Each big launch taking a lighter and the small ones the boats of marines. The shore was low, marshy flats. as far as we could see. There is no bay at all. and we started up the big river. Both banks were lined with clay forts that must have taken an immen?e amount, of labor for construction. Soldiers of all nations were Rationed at the places the}* had taken. Nearlv every thing was in ruins as far as we could see. and many large fires were still burning; About 4 p. m. our boats made fast tu a wharf that our marines had taken and we disembarked, made a shelter tent camp along the railroad near the quarters of some Russian and Japanese soldiers, and got snpper. for we had had nothing but raw bacon and liard-tack to eat since morning. Early the next morning we were astir and soon aboard the big boats, going up the big riyer, which is very muddy and unfit to drink. We were soon out of Taku. but it is one big town after an other all the way up here, and the coun try mnat have been densely populated, but now nearly everything was in ruins and Chinese very scarce. There was some land covered with the same big grass or rushes that grew on the flats, but farther up the river every foot of land seemed to be cultivat ed or occupied. We passed several big forts at towns that had been taken, and gigantic mounds of earth as large as Blue Monnd but about half as high: but we did not know what they had been thrown for. In other fields were round mounds with a'Knob on the top, of all sizes. Someone said they were burying grounds—the size of the mound depending on the person's wealth and position in the world. Some of these mounds were as large as a brick block of Independence, and considerably high er. We passed one large town that ex tended for miles along the river There were hundreds of the big sail boats like our lighters, with the odd shaped flags of their Chinese owners flying, anchored along the shores. There was a lot of docks, and a vast quantity of logsandhe wn timberipiled up, but it must have come from some oti.er country, or from up the river, for theiv is no sign of such timber here. There were lots of trees growing, but. all w. re shade trees or orchards: some looked 10 be loaded with peaches or apricots We passed many nice gardens where we saw onions and corn growing, with lots of other truck. Th& other fields were mostly corn, but I have seen noth ing like the" rice tliey raise in the Philip pines, though lots of it is stored here. The whole country is low and level like a gard(#n. "They must irrigate from :he looks of the little fields, dikesand ditches but they have a different system from that in western Kansas. We passed a small temple that had not been destroyed, and looking iu through the big openings we couUl see the big, ugly, grotesque images and idols. The river was getting smaller and We had been aground several times, and one fellow had tumbled overboard but got to the shore, ran along the bank, got ] a row-boat and got aboard again. Towards evening in going around a bend our bow stuck fast in the right bank, and as the wind was blowing from the side* the stern swung around and struck the other bank and we were hard and fast. The launch cut loose and went up stream to move a lot of boats out of the way, and a gang of Chinese came out of a cluster of mud huts. wi:h a lot of chickens, gave them to the soldiers and a Chinese that came with ns from the Philipincs said they wanted an American flag to put up on llieir houses, so the soldiers of the other nations would not destroy them, and that they knew we would not harm them. They were given a pai»er of some kind and then the sailors threw a line from the stern to shore, and our Chinaman got them to pull on it and swing 11s into the stream. They began pulling, keeping a wierd singsong chant which our Chinaman said was"all samee inelican, one, two, three,'' bat each in j dividual seemed to pull when he said | "three,"'regardless of what the others! were doing. About sundown we heard heavy can nonading and everything became hushed and quiet—that odd gripping sensation coming in onr throats as we began ' < realize what our "excursion to China.'' j as the newspapers had it, was going to be About midnight we landed at a wharf and marched to the marines quarters, where they gave us supper of coffee, hard-tack ami canned beef, and we found room in the big buildings to lie down. Before morning the Chinese were shelling the town from the walled city, and there was considerable rifle fire. Several spent balls were picked up as they dropped in the yard where we were lined up for breakfast. About the middle of the forenoon we marched back to a group of big 1 ice j store houses, under the German flag. ' where our lighter was fastened. We | were assigned quarters,took off our stuff 1 and began unloading the Ixiat. working ! day and night—working in reliefs,'- hrs I 011 and 4 hours off—until the night of the 11th, when I was detailed with a corporal and 10 others to go with D company. That afternoon the Eifglish had bombarded the walled city with lyddite, and the allied forces were to at tack the next day. Tien Tsln is of two parts, the modern or foreign part built of brick, and the ancient Chinese part built of mud and ! straw, like the dobie huts of Mexieo, j and surrounded by massiye dirt walls | There are no slone or wooden buildings [ that I have seen. Tbe whole conntrj seems to be a >»itf alkali flat. The soil is a kind of brown ish gray clay, awl everything is built of brick and mud. The water we use here is run through big filters in the water works. Still it chaps the Viands and lips and makes the mouth and throat sore The river water is very bad, and filthy besides. Dead Chinaman are floating down it clear to the ocean, and we saw dogs eating them along the banks The slaughter is awful, and if ever a land was "bathed iu blood," it is China to day We formed back of otir quarters about 4 o'clock in the morning, and waited while English, French, Blue Jackets, Japanese, etc., passed, we being put in the rear to act as support for the Japan ese through the day. We marched south—went northwest through the outskirts of town, and formal our usual skirmish line in the open fields before the first big wall and our centre opposite the gate. All kinds of soldiers were in our front, and a French battery on our right was pounding away: machine gunfl were tearing loose; there was a hot rifle fire: the English throwing in some beautiful rattling volleys with their "Lee Metfords." Troops were tioitJK through the gate and over the wall v.hen wt got in sight. We had several men hit before we reached the wall. When we came to the big ditch we had to form in column of fours to cross on the bridge; deployed again before tho wall; crossed over and were again in big ditches and among houses and had to form column of fours to cross another bridge and wait for part of the Japs to yet ahead of us again. The battery had moved in front of the old arsenal and wa. shelling the big towers at the gate in the next big wall, i We deployed along the big ditch north | of the arsenal, getting mixed up again , with the Japanese, who were forming and charging up the north road in col umn of fours. It was a fine sight. To give them room our lines were ex ' tended along the road northeast when we felt a sharp flank fire from the forts and wall on that road. Our right was extended to meet the fire and other companies coming tip. the advance be came general. The fields were cut up with big ditch es of filthy, salty water that crias-cross ed in ali directions, dikes and mounds. A line was never formed and neither could it have been maintained, and we were all mixed np. going in bunches, following the officers and halting in the ditches to reply to the enemy's tire. Several fellows came near drowning. Before the little forts and mud houses, lay a big ditch which could not be cross ed' without bridging, and as we heard Colonel Lishomb was killed everything stopped, and over ninety of us. with Captain Brewster and four Lieutenants stopped behind the last big ditch at the edge of the water. We had the Chinese pretty well cleared away and their fire quieted, when about ten o'clock our amunition got low and they began to come back, and until dark they kept tip an awful hot fire on the open ground we had crossed, firing on the men gathering up the wounded Fifty Marines were sent to reinforce ns but could not make it. as the Chinese were using more artillery from the wall behind the forts and huts. A packmule with amunition tried to get to us. but the men and mule were killed. We stuck to our ditch till dark and then sneaked out. carrying onr dead and wounded The main column, which we should have followed, went in at the gate west of us and all daj we could hear them haying it hot and heavy, as the} - fought their way along. The houses are of mud, the streets little alleys, and it was a continuous fight nearly all through the town. The third battallion had got up that day and relieved us and we went to our quarters. Three of the 12 E men got hit, but are getting along all right Colonel Liscoinb's body wts sent down the river and buried at Taku. The IS en listed men were buried in our big trench in the back yard. There was lots of rich looting—gold, silver, silks and jewels. Citizens, soldiers of other nations and our officers got it. The :M battalion fellows had a lot of stnff. but all of us and our quarters were search ed, and everything of value taken away. Now we are not allowed to leave with out a pass, and here we are in low, mas sive brick buildings, surrounded by a brick wall, and that guarded by a chain of sentries with orders to let no one in or out, and they have orders to shoot too. So it seems as if we were in a penitentiary. The guard house is full of our mem mostly in for "drunk and disorderly. We have to drill twice a day. and have lots of work unloading the boats that bring our stnff np the river. But 1 enjoy the grub. We have all kinds of garden truck, onions, radishes, cabbage, roasting-ears. turnips, etc., that we get in the gardens nearby. I was sent out with one detail and it made a fellow quite home-sick to be in a garden where the old familiar truck was growing **•*»»** All the ground abort here seems to have been dug up in making the walls, houses, etc Some of the European houses have' nice yards, from the glimpses one catches through th * g.ites. There are no side walks, but the houses are pretty much like in any civilized ! city. \Veli. I must ,8v something about trie .v idiers of other countries. Of course our friendship is closest with the Eng lish. The Welsh fusileers are here, just from the Transvaal. They wear a kahki suit and helmet; are better train ed than we are and get along so much better with their officers. They have no guard house, and when their sentries arrest looters, all the loot is sold and divided up with the privates, while onr officers keep what they want and turn the rest over to the government They live lots better than we do too. The Japs are the most interesting of all aud think lots of us, but say we are too clumsy for good soldiers, and after ! seeing a regiment of them drilling I agree with them. Thev are better drill ed, better equipped for campaigning and are standing it better than any of the other nutions They are all small, heavy-set, and all the same size: wear a white suit, legtcins and cap; but the different commands wear a slightly different uniform just as we do. They are scrappers tc a finish, and great hust lers. and army life seems to just suit them. The Russians are big. husky fellows and wear leather boots, baggy black pants, a white cap and a loose white jacket. They always wear the narrow cartridge belt around the waist. the whole they are a pretty dirty set of men The French soldiers look the bum niiest of all. They wear a big white helmet. l)ig heavy clumsy plow shoes and the uniform looks just like a bad fitting snit of bine over-alls and jacket, except that the jacket has brass but tons. I have feen no German soldiers yet. but the sailors from the warships are dressed about like all the other nations, white dnck suit, leggins, of some sort, white cap or straw hat. The English blue-jackets wear a dark blue sailor suit, the clothes for cold weather, 1 „ r uess. As for health, I believe we are better off than in Luzon, provided they don't dog ns to death. The days are very hot, the nights cool, and there is a ijood breeze blowing much of the time, and somo times it is windy and dusty, but we don't get to enjoy the open air ranch. It is very dry, and they say it does not rain much here. Flies are very bad, but hardly any ants or mosquitos. iiili School, Franklin T\v|>.
