CURRENT KVENTS.
Congress will adjourn a week from
next Wednesday, and it looks as though
the statehood bill would continue to
block the appropriation bills and the
treaties to the end, and thns force an
extra session of Congress or, at least, jf
the Senate.
Quay's persistence in standing in with
the Democrats to force the admission of
two territories, sparsely populated with
Mexicans and Indians,and which would
mean the addition of four Democrats to
the U. S. Senate, is one of the most re
markable caprices of his unique career.
Some "trust" legislation has, fortu
nately, been gotten through, and both
the President and Attorney General ex
press themselves as satisfied with it,
until experience shows what further is
needed.
"President Roosevelt is to be congrat
ulated upon his success in forcing the
subject so strongly upon Congress. He
has insisted from the beginning of the
session that something should be done,
and he has had his way. He may not
have gotten everything that he desired,
but that progress has been made of real
value is shown by the desperate efforts
of the Standard Oil people to block leg
islation. The exposure by the Presi
dent of the fact that certain Senators
had received telegrams practically
ordering a holdup proved a boomerang.
It hastened the work to a conclusion,
and hereafter there will be a somewhat
vigorous control of trusts under the
three bills that have been passed."
The agreements, or protocols, for sub
mitting the claims of the Europeans and
otheis against the Venezuelans were
signed by all the parties interested, last
week, and the German-Anglo-Italian
blockade of the coast of that country
was raised.
"Tne agreements which have been
executed relate in part to the payment?
which are to be made at once, and in
other part, to the mode of settlement,
which shall be pursued with regard tc
the liquidation of the balance. There
is to be distributed without arbitration
among the blockading powers the sum
of about £402,500, in round figures. Of
this sum Great Britain is to receive $27,-
600 at once. A like sum is to be paid tc
Germany at the end of one month, and
within two months of the signing of the
protocols Italy is to be similarly treated.
This accounts for $82,500 of the stated
total. The other $320,000 represents
the preference accorded to Germany 1 n
deference to that country's strenuous
demands for better terms than had sat
ialied Italy and Great Britain."
This whole business has been of a
doubtful character. Collecting private
claims by public force is recognized in
international law, only, when practiced
by a strong nation against a weak one
If a citizen of the United States had ;i
claim against a citizen of England 01
Germany who would think of sending
a fleet to blockade a port, and what
would happen if it were done ? Thv
settlement of this case is due to the
braina and patience of Mr. Bowen. an
American who acted for Venezuela
Tbe humorous feature of the whole af
fair was Andy Carnegie's offer to settle
Germany's claim off hand.
The affair is now happily ended, and
Germany's pugnacious War Lord will
haye to look for trouble in some other
part of tbe word.
On Thursday Andrew Carnegie sent
the following message to Herbert W.
Bowen, representative of Venezuela in
the negotiations with Great Britain,
Italy and Germany:
"I shall be glad to hand you over at
once $360,000 to meet the German de
mand if Venezuela desires it."
Mr. Bowen thanked Mr. Carnegie for
his offer, but replied that it was not
necessary to accept it. He said that
many banks and syndicates bad all
along been anxious to lentl money te
Venezuela, and had sent representa
tives to see him with this end in view,
though these offers were of a busines*
nature, whereas the offer of Mr. Car
negie was made without any reserva
tion or mention of security for the re
turn of his money.
HAttRISBUItG.
To legalize gambling or pool selling
in Pennsylvania is believed to be tin
real purpose) behinddhe bill introduced
by Senator John C. Grady, of Philadel
phia, in thy State Senate on February 3.
The bill provides that common carriei
corporations chartered in other states
shall have in Pennsylvania all the
right?, powers and privileges they exer
cise in the states in which they are in
corpora ted, except the power of emi
nent domain. It repeals also "all laws,
criminal, general or special, so far ai
the same shall conflict with the provis
ions of this act. *
Pool selling was made a crime it:
Pennsylvania by the legislature of 1B9">
when a fine not exceeding SSOO and im
prisonment of not more than one year
or either or both, was fixed by an acl
"to pnnish pool selling, receiving 01
transmitting bets or aiding in pool sell
ing or betting."
If Grady's bill becomes a law the tel
egraph anel express companies, whicl
are common carriers and amenable te
this bill's provisions, and even certair
kinds of pool selling companies, will bt
authorized to receive and transmit tin
bets and take an active part in the poo
business as their charters obtained ii
states which do not forbid pool selling
will allow them to do.
Judge Simonton of Dauphin Co., whf
had attained a state reputation as in
terpreter of state election laws, died at
his home in Harrisburg, last Thursday,
after a months' sickness of pneumonia
There is a bill liefore the Legislature
that our members should "go slow" on
that is the bill to expell the Osteopath)
from tbe state.
Osteopathy is something new and il
there is nothing in it it will soon die ol
itself for lack of support, but it sbonl<
be given fair play.
Last Thursday Representative Sbo
waiter introduced a bill authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to buy a
site for a postoflice building in Butlei
and to erect a suitable structure there
on. The bill carries an appropriation
of $25,000. Dr. Showalter is a member
of the Committee 011 Public Building
and Grounds.
The bill giving the Butler Hospital
$20,000 has passed the Senate finally.

THE BOROUGH ELECTION.
When a few Disgruntled Democrats and Wise Republicans put their lieails
together a few days before the late Republican primary, and induced ex-Sherift
John T. Kelly to become a candidate for Burgess, they thought they were doing
a smart thing, when in fact they were defeating the whole Republican ticket of
the town. ,
Kelly was defeated by Wm. Kennedy by 614 votes: and :n his downward
flight he took Maxwell and McDowell with him. though both the latter are de
feated by their Democratic opponents by but small majorities—l and t..
Over 2100 votes were polled, which, considering the weather, was remarka
ble
A great crowd gathered about the Democratic headquarters, that night. and
when it l*came known that Kennedy and Slater were elected, the crowd caught
them and rolled them in the snow, and rubbed their faces and ears, which is saia
to be an antidote for "swelled head.
The vote for the borough officers was as follows:

WASHINGTON' NOTES.
The War Department promoted 8
old colonels to be Brigadier Generals,
hwt week, and then seven of them were
put on the retired list by the age limit.
There are now on the retired list about
one hundred general officers, mostly
brigadiers, which reminds one of
Lincoln's sorrow over the capture of a
thousand mnles and two brigadiers. He
felt that lie could get plenty of the
latter, but the loss of mules was irrepar
able. However, there is no tendency to
criticise the government for taking care
of its warriors. Rather there will be
regret that the provision for them w.'w
not enacted so that all could be com
fortably provided for in their declining
years.
The nomination and confirmation of
George B. Cortelyou as Secretary of the
Department of Commerce introduces to
the nation as a Cabinet minister one
who a few years ago had no national
standing. Mr. Cortelyou's record so far
has l>een wholly that of secretary to the
President. The skill which he has dis
played in that office ban commended
him both to the President and Senate as
a member of the Cabinet.
On Monday, Representative Showalter
procured the establishment of an addi
tional free delivery route in Butler
county. It is to run from Prospect.
When that service is established on
March 15 there will be 81 carriers in the
county. It is probable that another
route will be laid out from Slippery
Rock, ad it ha« been found that the
carriers in that vicinity havo too much
work to enable them to complete it in
the eight hours allowed them by law
for a working day.

The Brady's Bend Murder.
Mrs Beulah Zillifro. aged about 18,
was shot down at the side of her father,
1 Sylvester Rohrmoser, postmaster of
Brady's Bend, about 9:30 o'clock last
Saturday night, and died about two
hours lat°r.
Mr. Rohrmoser, who is about 60
years ot age, is an old resident of Brady s
Bend, where he carried on a blacksmith
shop, and when appointed postmaster
opened a store. His daughter, Mrs.
Zillifro, was with him in the store on
tne night of the tragedy until about !)
o'clock when they left for home. The
father was carrying a lighted lantern.
They passed through the front gate to
the rear of the house, and when they
were about 12 feet from a small summer
kitchen attached to the rear of the house
and forming an "L," there was a flash
in the darkness in front of them, and
Mrs. Zillifro, with a cry of mortal
agony, dropped to the walk. The
father saw a man running through the
darkness and gave chase, then rememb
ering his daughter's cry and her fall,
abandoned the pursuit, but calliDg for
help and "murder."
The cries brought a number of neigh
bors to the scene, and the men took up
the chase, but were unable to gain anv
trace of the assassin. The injured wo
man was carried into the bouse, where
it was found that she had been wound
ed by a shotgan, the entire charge of
No. 4 shot apparently entering her ab
domen and stomach. In all there were
90 perforations. The father received a
few stray pellets in the hand and arm
that were towards his daughter when
the shot was fired.
The search by the volunteer posse was
continued during the entire niglit and a
more systematic investigation was be
gun next morning It was recalled
that there had been trouble between
the young wife and her husband and
that he had threatened her life The
young couple are the parents of a child
4 months old. The husband was in
tensely jealous at times and while drink
ing threatened his wife with bodily
harm. They made their home with the
father of Mrs. Zillifro. About two
weeks ago the troubles seemed to come
to a climax when Zillifro attacked his
wife and was beating and choking her
when her father drove him from the
house and ordered him to never return.
Then it is alleged that Zillifro threaten
ed to kill his wife.
From Brady's Bend he went to Ford
City, where he secured employment in
a livery barn. On Saturday evening he
secured a team at this barn and drove
away. No one has yet been found who
saw him on the road between Brady's
Bend and Ford City, bnt early Sunday
morning the buggy and team were
found tied at the rear '»f the old Episco
pal Stone church, which is not more
than 200 yards away from the Rohr
moaer residence. That afternoon the
owner of the livery barn arrived from
Ford City and identified the team as the
one hired by him to Zillifro
On Monday, Zillifro was found in bed
asleep, at the home of Wm. Templeton,
a brother-in-law, whose home is a mile
from Brady's Bend. He acknowledged
his guilt, made no opposition to arrest
and was taken to the Kittanning jail.
Death of M. K. Armstrong.
M. K. Armstrong. who has been
known in oil circles of Butler and other
towns for the past twenty years, fell
dead while crossing the Ninth St
bridge, Pittsburg, on Wednesday night,
last.
He was found on the bridge about
1:80 a.m. and taken to the morgue,
where an examination revealed the fact
that his death was due to apoplexy.
The story of Armstrong's life is very
interesting.
He was born in Canada, and when
quite young, enlisted or secured a po
sition in the British navy. During the
early sixties his ship arrived in New
York harbor, and he left his ship, and
enlisted in the Union army, served some
time and then in the course of time
found his way to the oil country.
In 1878 ho struck an HOO-barrel well,
and other good wells on Nancy Dangh
erty farm in Fairview twp., this coun
ty, and WHS a wealthy man, and he hits
pursued the oil business with varjing
luck ever since.
He had no relatives in this section
but is said to have in Canada.

of respect her funeral on Saturday at
Concord was largely attended by
