THE BUTLER CITIZEN. WILLIAM O. NEGLKY - Publisher. THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1904 Sl.Ce per year ■■ Advance. Otherwise $1.50 Russia and Japan. The strained relations between these two countries yet continue, and both nations are preparing for war. The Japanese government has order ed 100,000 barrels of flour from the Min neapolis mills and the Russian has plac * ed an order for a million and a half pounds of mess meat with Armour & Co., in Chicago, to be delivered in San Francisco by the 22d, and has contract ed with another firm to deliver three million pounds. Both governments have been buying coal in Pittsburg, and the Russian is buying hay and alfalfa in Nevada, to be delivered in San Fran cisco. Japan has purchased two more war ships building in Europe; and England is taking advantage of the situation to strengthen her boundaries to the north of India by extending them through Thibet to a point on the Yang Tee river that can be reached by gun boats. War between the two countries seems inevitable, and this day (January 7th) was said to be the deciding day, so far as Japan was concerned. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in his mes sage to Congress. Monday, said—"No one connected with this government had any part in preparing, inciting or en couraging the late revolution of the isthmus of Panama. No one bad any previous knowledge of the revolution except such as was accessible to any person who read the newspapers. " EPIDEMIC CONDITIONS. During the past two weeks conditions have been both discouraging and en couraging. Last week some twenty new cases were reported, and the deaths weie numerous,as will be seen by the column aet apart for that purpose; but this week there have been but an average of one new case per day and though some very sad deaths haye occurred, so great a number of patients are convalescent that fourteen of the nurses on the pay roll of the relief committee were dis charged. leaving one hundred and ten. The report of Dr. Soper of New York, who came here at the instance of the Engineering News, was published Dec. 27th, and contained nothing new, ex cepting that he attached more import ance than is generally given to the non use of the filter at the pump-station from Oct. 20 to Oct. 31, for tbe reason that the filters were not built for dis infecting, bntonly for cleansing pur purposes. At the meeting of the General Com mittee, Monday night, $5,000 more was appropriated to the Executive Commit tee, making $29,500 to that date. Some of the late contributions to the Belief fund are as follows: Citizens of Pittsburg |6,000; Erie $500; Johnstown $477; Kane $523; Mc- Donald $223; Portersville ssl; Williams port $2«5; Karns City $76; Meadville SB6; Altoona $485; Kane S3O; Eaeton . $210; Monongahela SSO; Trenton s3l; Greens burg SBS; Washington, Pa., $108; New Castle $119; Punxsntawney $533; Clarion sl4o;Braddock $325; Cambridge Spring* S9B; Lebanon «100; Elks of Greenville $148; Odd Fellows of Sharon $35; K. of P. of Unlontown SSO; Third I U.

Concord Township. Watch night services were held at the home of Mrs.' M. H. Marshall of Hooker, Dec, 3lst. The holiday season passed off quietly. The Sabbath schools at Concord, Zion, Greece City and Troutman gave good Christmas entertainments. The young people at Troutman re alized fifty dollars at their entertain ment on New Years night for the bene fit of tbe Bntler sufferers. Mrs. Jemima Sutton, an aged lady, has been in poor health for some time. Mrs. Amanda Starr was severely bruised by falling on tbe ice one day last week. Fred Emery of the Valley is quite ■ick with typhoid feyer. A. G. Bartley now occupies the premises lately vacated by Nelson Sutton at Modoc Mr. Sutton now lives in Karns City. Protracted meetings are in progress in the churches at Sprtngdale and Greece City. Dr. E. L. Eaton will deliver the last, and the best lecture of the course at Troutman, on the night of February 10th. His subject will be 'Ghosts, Goblins and Witches." T. D. Kuhn occupied the pulpit at Concord on last Sabbath. H. J. Clark and daughter, Ruth have returned from a visit to C. A. Clark and family of Smithfield, W. Va. SI LEX. Fire at Kuclid. John McCain's house wan consumed by fire Monday, with all contents and $250 in cash. It was a new and hand ■ome dwelling. He carried but a umall Insurance. Daring the fire 8. R. M< Call's team became frightened and dashed into Ed Christley's mail sleigh, and made a •peedy delivery of the mail. ft. C. THE "New East River' bridge, lately opened, has steel piers, and is larger than Roebling's bridge. An Interesting Invention. The Vaillard Desmaronx Sterilizer, • French patent, on exhibition in the basement of the Jefferson street school building is one of the most ingenuous contrivances we have seen for a long time. Tbe water from the tank first passes through a charcoal filter, which clears it, then through two long coils of pipe to a tubnlar boiler, which brings It up to a temperature of 235, F. theu back through two coils of pipe paralell ing the cold-water coils which brings it down to a temperature low enough to drink a* it comes out. The water is gradually heated ns it goes in and gradually cooled as it comes out. The machine In tbe school-building is large enough to snpply au army corps and costs $3000; but smaller ones costing from $250 to SBOO, each, would furnish enough boiled and cooled water to supply a large school-building and as tbe water is heated while enclosed and under presto re, none of the oxygon it lost CMI'ItCH NOTES. Monday evening C. G. Christie and J. G. McMarlin were elected trustees of tbe United Presbyterian church, to sue- J eeed themselves. Rev. Robinson and Rev. J. M. Mealey of Waynesbnrg were ' present at tne congregational meeting ' and at the proceeding prayer service. ' Owing to the continued illn« ss of Mrs. ! Robinson, the sickness uf Mrs Mealey i with pneumonia, and tbe extreme cold, the meetings, which wc re to have con-' tinned throughout the week, were post paced indefinitely. HOLIDAY HOKKOItS. The holiday season of 1903 was more replete with disasters than has been the the same season for many a year. For several days one railroad accident followed another, and then came the unparalleled theatre horror in Chicago by which 58# men, women and children attend'ng a matinee or afternoon per formance of a spectacular play, were borned or trampled to death, during a mad rush to vacate the building. The theatre in which this happened is a new one, and the building itself is fire-proof; but the mass of scenery re quired for a spectacular play is liable to flash, almost like powder. The theatre seated au audience of 2,000, but it is known that many uio'e than that number were present, as ev ery seat was taken and people were standing in the lobby and balcony. A bit of scenery took fire from a brok en electric wire or arc-light, a tank con taining oxygen gas for the calcium or spot light is said to have exploded, the flames spread rapidly, the people on the stage made a rush for the double-doors back of it. the opening of which threw a strong draught over the audience; an attempt to lower the asbestos curtaiu between the stage and audience failed, the flames surged over the audience, a panic followed; the people on the lower floor nearly all escaped, those in the balcony made a mad rush for the exits and stairways, somebody turned off the electric lights, the exits and stairways became jammed and nearly six hundred people were trampled, suffocated or burned to death. In a short half-hour the most terrible calamity that had ever happened in a theatre was over. The firemen came promptly and put ont the fire, but tbey found piles of dead bodies, ten feet high on the stair ways. Some whole families had been killed and some people were burned and trampled beyond recognition. The bod ies were taken to the morgue as fast as possible and up to Saturday evening all but twelve had been claimed. The in cidents of the calamity were as pathetic as any ever recorded and brought tears to the eyes of the Nation- Wednesday, December 30, 1903, will for many a year be a sad memory to the people of Chicago and to all who lost friends or relatives on that day. Mayor Harrison promptly began an investigation, found some serious de fects in the construction of the build ing, flre exits incomplete or not in working order, asbestos curtain torn to shreds, etc., and he ordered twenty four of the twenty-five theatres of the city to close until all the laws of the state and the ordinances of the city were complied with. But one theatre in the city, the Anditoriam, was allow ed to jpmain open. Similar investigations will probably follow in every city and large town in the country. The laws of this state re garding the construction of theatres are said to be commendable, but we have no borough ordinances regarding their management and no bnilding inspector. In Chicago the theatre people are Baid to have bribed the inspectors to pass over defects by the free use of ' comps" and the owners, managers and some of the employees of the Iriquou are now under arrest pending a legal investiga tion of the calamity. Saturday was fu neral day in Chicago and all the church bells were tolled, and all the business houses were closed. Of the l ail road accidents, the most disastrous was on the B. & O. at Daw- son or Laurel linn, m»r Oonhei?' -Jtle, in this state. A freight train coming west dropped some loosely-secured rail road ties across eastbonnd, track the Du - quesnc Limited thundering along at the rate of a mile a minute, struck tho ties, tbe engine left the track acl stuck its nose into the bank: the "smoker" filled with men returning to their homes for Christmas, telescoped the engine, break ing off tbe dome and some sixty men were suffocated or cooked to death by the escaping steam. If this accident teaches humanity any lesson, not already learned by previous accidents, it is that fust-going passenger trains and slow-going freight trains can not safely and surely be run over the same tracks, Wo think the day will come when the trunk lines, at least, will have separate roads (not for their freight and passenger traffic.
