Owing to business matters, which have taken more of my time than I an ticipated, I am , unable to make, a thorough canvass of the connty, and therefore have decided to withdraw from the contest tor the nomination for. Register and Recorder, at the coming Republican Primary. 1 take this means of thanking my friends for tha encouragement and promises of suppport I have received. I intend to be a candidate the next time, when I expect to make a complete can ▼MS. GEORGE E. THOMAS. More Promises. $58,745.09 passed through County Treasurer Rankin's hands, last year, as treasurer of the Poor District of Butler county, and the liabilities of the county 00 account of the Poor Farm, are (as iy ttre county Auditors, *125,- 782.93; and yet listen to this gabble from Greer's letter on the Poor House question, published Feb. 10, 1898: "The contract for the purchase of the fano, the plans and specifications of the bnildings and the contract for the erec tion of the bnildings must all be approv ed by the Court,and I would not recom mend or favor an extravagant outlay of money in either farm or buildings. A large, massive house is expensive and unnecessary, and is not conducive to the comfort, contentment or happiness of the poor inmates. The ordinary poor person wonld be lost in a very large building, and feel as if he were in prison. I would recommend the cot tage system," etc. "There is no necessity for any great outlay of money." "I can assure the people that I will do anything within my power to pre vent extravagance or waste." Pompeii and St. Peirre. Pompeii and Herculaneum.two neigh boring towns, on the seashore of Italy, were buried under great masses of atbe*. cinders, stones and lava thrown out by the volcano Vesnvins in the year 79 A D., or 1833 years ago; and so completely was Pompeii buried that its location was forgotten, until aeddently discov ered in 1748-since which time part of the town has been excavated, and is now one of the sights of Europe. Pompeii was buried in ashes, etc. 20 feet deep, while Herculaneum on lower ground was overwhelmed by the mol ten lava. How many people perished in the two towns is not recorded,but that the num ber was large was shown by the finding of seventeen skeletons in the basement of one house, and those who escaped probably did so by flight. At St. Pierre, however, the area cov ered by the falling masses, or "wall of fire" as one account puts it, seems to , have been so large as to have made es cape by flight impossible. The large town, and several small ones, were de stroyed, and the entire number of peo ple who perished is estimated at forty thousand. A sensation was created in the Senate Chamber at Washington one day last week by a Senator, who sent to the Congressional Library for a copy of the Bible—the first time the thing has happened there for forty-two years. Death 01 John W Gillespie. Resolutions of respect on death of John W. Gillespie, Company B, Sixth Pennsylvania Heary Artillery, adopted by James Harvey Post, No 514, G. A. R. Department of Pennsylvania. Satur day, May 10th. 1902: WHEREAS, Since our last meeting an other member of our Post, Comrade John W. Gillespie, has answered the last roll-call, It is but fitting that we pay this tribute of respect to nis memory which we can truthfully do, by saying of him that by his death we. as a Post, have suffered an inreuarable loss, every comrade a friend and the cummunity a faithfnl and upright citizen And more than that, the connty of Butler an official of sound judgment and of in tegiity of purpose. We, as a Post, felt pleased and honor ed by his selection to the responsible position of connty commissioner, which office he was filling at the time of bis death We sympathize with the widow and the children, and with other relatives of deceased in their great affliction. May they have the solace, the Christian's comfort, that their dear friend lived and i died a good man A request of the Post was that the county pa tiers be asked to publish this, and that the adjutant send a copy to | family of deceased. GBO. W. CRAMER, J H. 11. HALHTEAD, /-Committee I M. N. GREER, ) That Agreement. EDITOR CITIZEN:—My attention WAS called to a letter written by Judge Greer to Joe. C. Hepler, published bv you in a late issue of your paper, and which contains a statement on the part of Judge Greer denying that any prom ise was made by him to Mr. James M. Galbreath. that he would not be a can didate again at this time. I happen to know about the promise myself and think your readers are en titled to know the circumstances under which it was made and the entire truth of the matter Ten years ago Mr. James M. Gal breath and Judge Greer were both can didates for Judge Their many mutual friends regretted that both should be candidates for the same office at the same time, and advised a conference which should take the matter up and decide which of the two should be the candidate This was arranged at the instanc« and request of both candidates, and I was chosen by Mr. Galbreath as his representative to meet the representative of Judge Greer. We met in the private office of Greer & Ralston pursuant to an understand ing of our principals, and here the whole question was fully discussed and the claims of each fully considered. While negotiations were going on each of us would from time to time consult with his principal. In behalf of Mr. Galbreath I argued that he was well quallified, and had never held office.and that he was really the logical candidate, whereas Judge Greer had already held the office of District Attorney , had two terms, or eight years in the State Sen ate: was Inspector of the Soldiers Or phans Schools for some four years, and now to insist upon having ten years on the Bench was. to say the least,asking a good deal at the hands of the voters. Among the reasons advanced by his representative in behalf of the Judge's candidacy were that Mr. Galbreath was the younger of the two and could better afford to wait ten years; that the Judge was advanc ing in years and might be considered too old ten years hence. Finally the rep resentative of Greer made this propo sition as the solution of the question: That Mr. Galbreath withdraw from the canvass as a candidate for Judge at that time, and help Judge Greer, and Judge Greer not to be a candidate again for re-nomination at the end of his term This proposal I submitted to Mr. Gal breath, who assented thereto, and the representative of Judge Greer stated to me that he had submit ted it to the Judge and that he had assented and agreed thereto also, and assured me that it would be carried out. Shortly after this Judge Greer re turned to his office and we fully appris ed him of what had been concluded and he understood it all, and assented and agTeed thereto, and in order to ratify same at once sought Mr. Gal breath, who was at the Court House, and where I had Informed him of what we had finally concluded. This closed the incident and from that moment Mr. Galbreath, pursuant to the above understanding, promise and agreement, was no longer a candidate, and the Judpe bad no opposition from that tpae on as far as Mr. Galbreath was concerned.

"The longer you let a calf suck the harder it is to wean"—said Greer in ar guing against the re-election of Judge McJunkin eighteen years ago. And how very true his words seem now. Senator Quay has leased a large re»i dence In Harrisburg for bis headqnar teni during the State Convention. He will occupy it about 12 davs, paying |SO rent per day. A dispatch from Philadelphia dated last Friday, said, "State Senator Spronl's retirement from the Gnberna torial race In favor of Judge Penny packer is expected to add (treat impetus to the boom for the Philadelphia!}. This is not merely because of the seven Dela ware county delegates thus transferred to the Judge, but rather as an indica tion of the wish es of the machine lead ers. Following closely the action ot the Montgomery county convention and the public declaration of the uninstructed Lawrence county delegates for Penny packer, the Delaware incident is regard ed as notice to the "workers" every where that Quay expects them to line np for his cousin. Calculating on the undisputed conces sion of the entire Philadelphia contin gent to Pennypacker the contest to date stands as follows: For Pennypacker. 105: for Elkin, 62: for Watres, 10; unin structed, 3<5; total, 213. AM the convention will consist of B!JH delegates IHO will he required to nomi nate. Penny packer, as will be seen, is alrealy within 75 of the number. Elkin, on the other hand, still require 11H del egates, or only 27 less than the I 4"» dele gates yet to be chosen." At Doylestown, Monday, the Bucks County Republican Convention refused to endorse Pennypacker for Governor. At Kittanning, Tuesday, the Repub lican Co. Convention endorsed Elkin, unanimously; as did also the Convention of Forest Co. at Tlonesta The Republican Co. Committee of Mercer Co. has beet) called to meet to morrow for the purpose of endorsing Elkin. Appeals for held have been sent out Sr tne Quay crowd and they expect on. Alexander McDowell, Clerk of the House of Representatives, and Henry Robinson. Journal Clerk of the House, home to help defeat the endorsement. State Senator J. D. Emery is leading the Elkin forces. A. B. Thompson, chairman of the county convention, is also an Elkin msn. It is charged that Emery and Thompson worked among the county committeemen, lining them np for Elkin. They made sure of their men. It is claimed, and then Thompson issued the call for a meeting. The fight is warm enough in Mercer, but at Wilkes Barre it is bitter, and though Elkin carried the town by a vote of 1345 to 1105 for Watres, the latter'* friends bolted the convention, organ ized, and elected two delegate* to the State Convention. Mitglc. J. Bytrsnnd James McCleary have cased their No. 1 on the Wm. Curry. Frank Stewart is the contractor. Perry Black and A. Nichleson have made five more locations on their new Jesse and have two wells nearly down. Miss Mary Byers is home on a two weeks vacation, till her school starts.

The Destruction of St. Pierre. The island of Martinique, the scene of the late terrible disaster is one of the chain of islands extending from Porto Rico to the coast of S. America. It has an area ot 380 square miles (,or about half the size of Butler county) and has. or had, a population of about 190.000 mostly negroes. It. and also the island of Gnadaloupe, about the same size, are owned by France. It produces coffee, sugar and cocoa, and the town of St. j Pierre, at" the north end was its chief ! commercial centre. Heretofore it has I been noted as the birth place of Jose-j phene, a daughter of the French consal there, who afterwards became the wife j •it Napoleon I. The city of St. Pierre was located on the north end of the island —partly on the coast and partly on higher ground; with what was supposed to be the ex tinct or "dead'' volcano called Mt. Pelee i in sight; but on Saturday the &1 inst 1 smoke was noticed coming from the crater of the mountain, fire and lava followed, and on Thursday, the Bth. the whole top of the mountain seemed to explode, raining ashes, hot stones and cinders and lava over the whole end of the island and sea for miles around, de~ Htroying the city and all its people, with a few exceptions; and all the eighteen ships in the harbor with one exception. The day was turned into night by the immense mass of stuff that came from the volcano, and everybody and every thing within a radius of several miles was destroyed. The only light was from the burning volcano and burniDg bouses, and by this helpless people were seen running along the beach. The ships in the harbor were covered with the burning stuff, and an unusual tidal wave came in and upset most of them Only one steamer, which had just came to anchor, and which yet had steam up, got away. The citv of St. Pierre, and the vil lages and sugar factories in the neigh borhood were all destroyed, and alto gether about forty-thousand people per ished. First Officer Scott of a steamer that was destroyed, tells the following story: It was about daylight on the mora ing of May 8 when we sighted the island. We bad run through H thun derstorm, and we steamed ahead for St. Pierre, and at six o'clock were at our anchorage off the place Bertin Landing. When the agent, with lighters and stevedores, came alongside they told us that Pelee had been acting uglv ever since Saturday and that there had been quite a heavy fall of white sand or dust over St. Pierre itself. However, the valcano seems to have quieted down and we got the stevedores to work smartly. There were 18 other steamers aad coasting craft anchored in the open harbor, one of them being the Tamaya, a bark from the French Port Nantes, her captain being called Moritz or Maurice Then there were four other large sailing vessels The British steamer Roddam cut into berth next to our and let drop her anchor. Then something happened. There was a shaking in the air, so that it felt as though someone had jostled me. T hen some man near me cried out; "My God! look at that." He was looking at Pelee, and every sonl on board Rooked, too. I can't describe what I saw, of course, bnt my first thought was that the end of the world would look just like that It was as though the mouutam had been blown up by all the dynamite in the world. First of all a great pillar of flame rushed straight up in the air. then it opened out wider than the mountain itself and came roaring down out of the sky upon ns. Some of ns, with Mor ley (second officer) rushed to the forecastle head to heave the anchor. I saw the Captain shouting orders, and I saw McFear, the engineer, drop below. As wo reached the ship's head the fiery cloud was upon ns. Red hot stones, scalding mud and real splashes of (lame dropped and clattered all over the ship. There wss another roar, and with if all the water in the harbor seemed to gather up and rush upon the shipping Every "craft heeled over to the great tidal wave and seemed to careen and sink. When the wave struck us it flded ns fore and aft, sweeping away the masts, funnel, all the boats save one and all the raffle of the deck. There was a ventilator at hand, and to save myself I seized it snd was nearly killed thereby, being driven into it bj the force of the wave. A couple of stevedores pulled me out of the ventilator and dragged n;e into steerage. There 1 remained half deant us the ships were sunk or aflame, and l>e tween ns and them and the shore dead bodies floated singly and in groups. Sonic hours after, I did riot know bow lonic it was then, bnt I've since been told it was at 8 o'clock iii the afternoon, the French cruiser Hucbet steamed in and rescued 17 of us more dead than alive We were carried to Fort de France and put in the hospital. On Monday the city of St Pierra was j'et smoldering: searching parties en tend it tint could not find a living creature; an immense number of corpses lay around the Cathedral: every build ing in the town had l>een destroyed; the whole northern pait of the inland seemed to 1»« in flames; Fort de France WHS full of refugees, and provisions were scarce. Yesterday 's papers reported th« death of on the British island of Ht VIII cent, south of Martinique by the ex plosion of a voice no there. Notice to Our Patrons!
