The conferees of the Washington, Beaver, Lawrence Congressional dis trict met in Pittsburg again, last Sat urday, and again failed to agree upon a method of nominating a congressman Washington insists upon the popular vote, while the gang which controls Beaver and Lawrence insist upon the conferee sybtem. In snch conference 9 Lawrence and Beaver together would have six votes and Washington five, and that would down Acheson, who imam* he can poll some votes in Law rence and Beaver, if given the chance to do so. The Butler and Westmoreland Con gressional conferees will meet in Greens bnrg, today. THE Kearsarge steamed from a point on the English coast to a point on the ot Main, a distance of about 3000 miles in 9 days, which was pretty good for a heavy battle ship. She burned 1206 tons of coal, and had 400 left. Dur ing the trip she kept up a steady gait of abont 14 knots, or 16 miles, an hour, excepting when delayed by fogs and icebergs. _ H* AMID great excitement on the floor of the New York stock exchange last Fri day. the failures of two large commis slon firms were announced. These failures were due to the decline in the values of railroad and other shares in which the firms were speculating, and flan to the fight being made on Keene * by the Goulds and Rockefellers. THE special value of hickory, chest nut and walnut lumber leads a writer in A recent number of the Nut Grower to urge the planting of nut trees for their timber value, which same will in- produce a valuable by product In the nuts grown, thus making such - a plantation a valuable property years before its maturity for lumber. This i harvesting of annual nut crops obviates to a-great extent the impediment in the way of planting for lumber only, which in the nature of things is a long time investment. One who plants and cares for his nut grove is rewarded during his own day by the annual nut crops, and his children have a valuable herit age in the lumber. The present is none too toon to begin planting for such pur poses. The consumption of lumber of all kinds is increasing much more { rapidly than in proportion to the in ' nrnasn of population. In fifty years the . United States may have double its present population, and who can predict whaft the demand for black walnnt, chestnut or hickory lumber may be by that timet All this has been sung more or less in every paper in the land for mars, and yet without effect. There I I* one influence at work which prevents I* mat from being in earnest about tree planting and that is the feeling that it taksa a tree so long a time to grow that 4' the planter will be dead before it comes to maturity. But this is no excuse for the young farmer who has un till able Ina. Ten years go very quickly, ir Sf«xt vear we will be electing another President Think how quickly four i years pass away T The best investment I any young man can make who either ex p pects to hve on the old homestead or •suit is to plant walnut, hickory, beech or oak cm any land he has or hillside * which cannot be cultivated. A forest I ■ Is a rill n 1 iTf ' ' " cue ami when ripe a richly paying one. Hay and Snakes The mowing machines have been go v in* -at a lively clip, this week, and thousands of tons of the best of hay has - A Utile of it was caught in the show ' er of yesterday noon, but as a rule the' Ittif wentinasdry ancr sweet as could There have been no fatalities in the <ui<u of the county this year, and the " only thing remarkable, as reported, is the itunber of biacksnakes, some of them several feet long, that were cut " to pieces by the machines. Blacksnakes are harmless reptiles, and t.» their principal diet is field mice, some fi' mere avoid killing them if possible. ... ta the days of the rattlers it was dif ferent, everybody killed a rattlesnake ..aright, and looked for more. The greatest slaughter of rattlers we • rer heard of in this county, happened | in Penn twp. quite a number of years Fred Winters had a ten-acre field of T. grasa, and as he was away from home : it was allowed to stand till August. ' ™ The ground was low-lying and some what awampy, and the rattlers of the I whole township, with representatives from adjoining townships gathered ' there to hold a convention; and just *"1 about that time Fred camt home, and 1 got Win Dixon to mow it. Win went in and went aroqnd the field once and then thinking something , was the matter with his cutter, lifted it nod tound it hanging full of snakes, rnttlers, cat to pieces, while thousands Of others had their heads up in the grass seeing what waa going on. But Win was a brave boy and he went ahead and mowed that field, killing ten-thous ; and snakes as he went along—each six - ieet long— at least that was his count— ' and there were no licensed houses in Butler then, while Zelienople was a dozen miles away. Next day Win and Fred went into c the field to load the hay. Fred pitched - it on and Win laid it, and things went •long all right until a rattler who had uiissed the cutter dropped from a fork full and Fred killed him. Then Win hen rd one hissing at the front end of the load and killed it, and another hiss iit« at the rear end of the load and kill ed it, and then discovered that he was Matding on a bunch of them. That tritred him and he leaped over the front et'tl of the load to the horses, unhitched hli t went home. His hair has been white ever since. Winters quit too. but he bundled up his feet and legs next day, and went out and saved that hay. Swindled School Teachers. One of the latest and meanest schemes of t'ct-rich-quick concerns has recently be*-h exposed in New York. It was lo cated at No. 12 Wall Street, and bore the title ofthe "American Finance an d Mortgage Co. " Miss De Grato. a Cleve land school teacher, was the first to file a specific complaint against the concern. Sh- said she began to receive circulars from these swindlers last October. They represented that they bought stocks out right and not on margin and that S ' hev had a recarve fund of #131,000 with \ which to meet losses. After a time M s*" De Grate sent on a small sum for inv* stment. In due time she received a"<iividend" of a handsome percentage on lier investment She was induced to let ■ he original amount advanced lie for reinvestments. Then she received an other handsome "dividend. " Itseemed to ie a pretty good thing She told her friends about It until at the end there w»re forty or fifty Cleveland school teachers with money put up with the "American Finance and Mortgage C 0.," Amounting in all to about $20,000. When the scheme"blew up'' she came to New York and learned, too late of the ; manner in which she had been swindled, j The N. Y. police advanced her money i with which to return to Cleveland.— TlAwfolr I Explosion ;it Brewery. One of the most dtetres*rag accidents in the history of Butler occurred at the new brewery about five o'clock last Thursday evening. Three men, Euiil Yoist. aged 35 years, boss painter, of New York City, George Freil, aged 40 years, cooper at the Brewery, and Julius Finn, a yonng Jew of Buffalo, N. Y., were engaged at painting the interior of one of the big vats in the stock cellar into which the beer, after brewing, is run to cooL The material used in painting was a «hellac or varnish, commonly used to paint the interior of beer vats. One of the principal ingredients is wood alcohol which is highly volatile and combust able- On this account the vat was full of the vapors of the paint and the men could not use an open light at their work, but an electric lieht on a loose wire was earned into the vat to enable them to see. In some way the glass bulb of the electric light was broken, a terrible t plosion occurred and the men found themselves at the Iwttoin of a furnace of seething flames. Finn climbed out first and was least burned. As fast as they could the others followed. Out side John Zeigler, William Neidell and others who were about cut and tore the burning clothes from the unfortunate men. Ambulances and doctors were sawmoDed and the men taken to the Hospital. Strips of flesh pealed from their bodies with their clothes. At 8 a. m. Friday morning Fnel died being smothered to death by dropsy of the larnyx, -caused by inhaling the flames. Two hours later \oist died. He also had breathed in the flames into his lungs. . Friel and his wife and daughter lived in one of the Zahradneck houses on the Three Degree road. He moyed from Pittsburg to Butler but a few months ago and his remains were taken to Pittsbutg by his brother for bnnal. Yoist was to have finished his work and left Butler Friday evening for New York City where he expected to meet his family on their arrival home from Germany where they have been visiting. Hia body was shipped to New York, Saturday. Julius Finn, the last of the three men bnrned, died in the Hospital, Sat urday night. A stronger yitality en abled him to fight off death longer than the other men. The tank in which the horror oc curred is one of the worst death traps imaginable. It and ten others similar occupy the stock cellar. They are simply big wooden barrels or tanks, about 20 feet in length, 12 or 15 in diameter and lying on their sides. In the end and near the floor is an oval hole 12x18 inches, about as large in re lation to the tank as a bung hole is to a barrel. Into this hole the men had to crawl and drag their materials, ladders and lights after them and through it they had to crawl after the explosion. The light was absolutely necessary to enable the men to see what they were doing as the interior of the tanks are as dark as Egypt. ACCIDENTS. Harry McMaster, a member of Co. L, fell from a car at Butler Junction,broke a leg, and was brought home. Miss Millie Ruff of N. Main St. had her band badly smashed by the fall of plate glass window at her home, Mon day. Charles Shearer, formerly of Butler, but lately a flagman on the Valley R. R., was struck by an express train near Kennerdell, on Wednesday of last week, and instantly killed. Officer Leiber was decoyed into the woods at a Hnnky wedding in Bredins ville, last Saturday night, knocked down, cut and abused, but he went at his assailants with his club, and dis persed them. Emry Fausey, aged 8, son of L. C. Fausey, of Dußois. died Monday of lockjaw, which resulted from a wonnd from a toy pistol on the Fourth of July. The wound healed, but 14 days ago the boy's jaws locked and remained so un til he died. He was kept constantly under the influence of opiates to ease his agony. Paul Chopon, aged abont 45 years, a Slav workman in the Butler Brick & Tile Works, had his skull fractured by falling from the tender of an engine near the city fnrnace on the Island, Tuesday evening He was taken to the Hospital and died during the night. He boarded on Ziegler ave. The large crowd of Butler people who went on the P. H. C. excursion to Oil City, yesterday morning, were delayed at Carter station- the last in the coun ty—for an hour or so by a collision be tween their train and a freight, which was standing on the track, and which did not have flagmen out. The engineer of the passenger did not see the freight till he rounded the curve, and then, fortunately was running very slow. The engine and the platforms of the forward cars were wrecked. The cars were crowded, and the impact upeet those who were standing, and injured several, though none seriously. The injured are Leah Rodgers. Mrs. Howe Lyon, Jr., George Campbell. Ike Scanlon, Lilian Sarver, Katie Kelly, Howard Gardner, Alonzo Connery, Mrs. C. A. Hite, Tracy Renshaw and John Scheiring, all of Butler, Jane Long of Buttercup, and W. L. Beatty of Prospect. Willie Roher aged 2 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Roher of Jefferson and Elm streets, was strangled to death yes terday. The child attempted to slide out of its high chair to the floor, but the front of the chair caught and sus pended it by the chin. The little one was dead before its plight was noticed. Dr. Neeley was called, but too late to revive it Anton Simmers of Water street, driven of Jos. Manny's dray, was so badly squeezed against the side of a stall by a horse which he was harnessing yesterday that congestion of the lnngs and fever has resulted and his condition is critical. Mrs. W. L. Brock of Pike St., West End, fell while coming out of Raseley & Whitesides' store and sprained her ankle badly. John Solomon, 20 years of age, met a horrible death at the Carnegie steel works in South Sharon a few days ago. by falling into a vat of boiling hot sul phuric acid. He was a laborer, and in passing the vat accidently slipped and fell into it being immersed in tne fiery liquid up to his neck. He was taken to Buhl Hospital, but died a coupla of hours later. He "was a single man. OVER 800,000 emigrants arrived in this country during the fiscal year end ing July first. This would indicate that America's reputation abroad is good. GOVERNOR Lanham of Texas, has is a ltd a ncfficiai pioclauiation offering a reward o* $50,000 to any person who would devise or discover a practical method or remedylfor eradi cating the cotton boll weevil. The re ward is to be paid out of the State treas ury. Th 6 cotton belt of Texas has suff ered much from the ravages of thu boll weevil. Brady Chips James McDeavitt and John Gibson are both working for Keasey on the Duffy place. James is off-bearing on the mill and John is driving a team. John G. Thompson while mowing a piece of hay, cut a blacksnake, oyer five feet in length, into four pieces. Rev. McCleaster preached a very practical sermon last Sabbath, on re jecting God; and then announced that there would be no services for three weeks. Miss Ketta Badger was visiting her aunt Mrs. Jennie Bowers of Greece City, last week. Mr. James Alexander's family have been on the sick list for some time, but are some better now. Sanfl Anderson took a large load of lath to Harlansburg last week, and in tended to go on through to New Wil mington. Tom Moore has purchased a team of mules, and proposes to do some team ing. OIL NOTES. The Market—For Pennsylvania got another boost of 3 cents last Thursday noon, and the price was $1.56. Clearfield—The Forest Oil Cos No. 1, on the James McAvov, a wildcat, came in last Thursday and was reported at 100 barrels at 1000 feet. The farm is located in the Southern part of the township, and the reported strike caused a rnste for leases on that vicinity, but the Forest, and Phillips got nearly everything, and Phillips made locations on the Nugent and Berg. Phillips drill ed a well within a stone-throw of this new well, a dozen years ago The well was reported as doing 2J barrels per hour or about 50 a day. yesterday. Speechley—Near Magic Nickels & McGill during the past week have brought in two good Speechley wells on the Emery and on the Presley Murtland. They have wells drilling on the Murt land and R. P. Black, and the Southern is drilling two on the Roxberry which are nearly down and one each on the Balsiger and Reed heirs. Texas—Oil at ten cents a barrel has been offered at Sour Lake, and a price of five cents is generally predicted. It is not believed however, that the pro ducers are willing to repeat the follv of Spindle Top operators and make long time contracts for the delivery of oil at two and three cents a barrel. Beaumont is likewise passing through an era of depressed prices and the bottom of the fuel oil market appears not yet to have been reached. —Derrick. CHURCH NOTES. The "Ring of the Fisherman," a very old signet ring, used by the popes, for centuries, to seal Papal "Bulls,'' and also one of the outwaid signs of his authority, was stolen from the dead Pope's hand, by an unknown person The members of the U. P. church of Butler, entertained their new pastor. Rev. Robinson, at a lunch and reception at the church, last Friday evening. The death of a somewhat celebrated clergyman, E. Walpole Warren, of New York, but formerly of England, calls to mind the fact that some twenty years ago he was a great issue in the country. It was just after the passage of the the contract-labor law that he was called to the pulpit of a leading church in New York, and the effort was made to keep him out on the ground his selection was in violation of the Federal statute Strange as such a claim seems, it is a fact that the lower courts sustained the contention, and for a time there was a lively prospect that Dr. Warren would have to go home or pay a great fine, or perhaps do both. The Supreme Court, however, decided that the law did not cover clergymen, and so he re mained and became a popular pastor. Three More Airships for the ST Louis Contest Three more airships have been invent ed and will be entered in the World's Fair aerial tournament to compete for the grand prize of SIOO,OOO. W. M. Morris, a Monte Vista, Col, mining engineer, is one of the contest ants. His machine will be 30 feet in diameter and 150 feet long when fully rigged. Aluminum will be the mater ial used in its construction, but no gas bag will be used as in other flying ma chines. E. A Kindler, a Denver Col., man has completed a model for an airship and conducted a satisfactory test. He will enter it in the contest for the SIOO,OOO prize at the Fair. Safety appliances are a feature of the airship. Canvas flaps three feet wide extetnd entirely around the balloon as on Stevens' air ship. These are limp except in case of sudden descent, when they open out like umbrellas or parachutes and are large enough to check descent to a gen tleness devoid of danger should the gas bags fail completely. Motive power is furnished by a storage battery. The framework, which is made of aluminum and light steel tubbng, with the moior, battery and propellor, which is six feet from tip to tip and has four blades, will weigh about three hundred pounds. A test was made recently of the mode!. The machine is said to have described :v circle about fifty feet in diameter, ris ing, dipping, and finally descending to its moorings without a hitch in it* mechanism. Streator, 111., will be represented in the aerial tournament by an airship planned by Mr. Reiferscheid, of that town. Reiferscheid's machine consists of a balloon pointed at both ends and lying in a horizontal position. Around ttlta "balloon mo ntilps of aluminum strong enough to make a substantial framework. At each end are the pro pellors, six in all. to be used in raising and lowering the machine and to assise in guideing it. A six horse-power gas oline motor will provide the power and the balloon will be filled with hydro gen gas and hermetically sealed. Large fans will provide a safety device which will permit the ship to slowly descend in case the balloon collapses.

He was buried at Sewickly where he had been Superintendent of their schools for thirteen years. 1). H. WTJL.LER. Word was recived in Butler, yester day. of the death of I). H. Wuller, at a private sanatarium at Cuyahoga Fall-, 0., at an early hour that morning, of paralysis, and Mr. Roessing, the under taker, went on to take charge of the body. Dan. was born in Butler, was the eldest son of the old music teacher and has been in tbe drug bnsiness here since boyhood, but he made the bulk of his fortune by a lucky oil strike at Coopers town. A year or so ago he became erratic in his action, and speech, and was sent to Warren Asylum, when he remained for several months. After his release he made a will, which wiil lead to further litiga rion regarding his estate. Becoming affected again, he, upon the advice of his attorneys, went to this sanatorium, leaving his store in charge of his brother. His wife secured a divorce some years ago, and remarried, but he leaves two children—a son and a daughter. He was about 53 years of age. i'ain's "Last Days OJ Pompeii". Pain's gorgeous pyrotechnic spectacle 'Last days of Pompeii," which is being presented in Pittsburg at Exposition Park, under the auspices of Pittsbur? Lodge No. 11. B. P. O. Elks, for twelve nights, commencing Monday, July 27th. and following so quickly on the heels of the more recent catastrophe of Saint Pierre, Martinique by the eruption of Mount Pelee, will make the Pompeiau spectacle all the more interesting. One sensation follows another so qnickly in this stirring open-air exhibition that in terest is kept up at the highest pitch until 'the final tragic culmination which depicts in a startling manner t; e awful catastrophe of ancient time* when by volcano and earthquakes tbe proud city of Pompeii went down ia ruins and total destruction. This scene is a triumph of pyrotechnic art, and so thrilhngly realastic in its execu tion that the spectator finds it difficult to realize for the time being that he is not gazing upon a terrible reality, instead of a mimic catatrophe As the scenes of festivity near an end, in the more gayer portion of the spectacle, low but distant and awe-inspiring rumblings are heard, and a column of black smoke appears from the treacherous mountain-top of Vesuvius that looms high above the set nic city in the background. These rum blings increase until they become a ser ies of tremendous internal explosions and soon the volcano emits a cat clysm of real fire and lava, th;it rushes down the mountain side in tor* rents and engulfs that fated city and its helpless people, who are seen flocking to places of safety. Massive triumphal arches, temples and palaces topple ai: 1 fall with a crash and where but a few moments before all was life and gaiety, is now a smoldering mass of chaos and ruins. The ingennity of the skilled pyrotechnist and electrician is combin ed in this startling scene and the result is certainly "vividly realistic" enough to more than satisfy the most enthusi astic lover of the sensational. The spec tacle is followed nightly by Pain's sl,- 000 fireworks display of many new feat ures and innovations never seen before. Seats and boxes can be obtained upon application to Thos. F.
