The Town's Centennial.
A hundred years ago the plot, upon
wbifch stands the town of Butler, was
covered with bushes and trees; and one
day of this year will be the Centennial
of the town's birth or establishment.
The Cunningham brothers, who were
the agents here for the Robert Morris
lands of this section, had located and
built a mill, where now stands the Wal
ter mill, and, in consideration of the
town being located here, instead of fur
ther north, (as was at first proposed;,
bad agreed to donate three hundred
acres for a town, court house, jail and
public square—their £iea being to ac
celerate the sale of the other Morns
lands in the neighborhood.
The commissioners appointed by the
state to examine the proposed site ap
proved of it. and on the Bth of March,
1803, the Legislature passed an act ap
pointing three trustees for the coaDty,
and authorizing them to survey the
plot, sell the lots, make the deeds, etc.
The surveying was completed by
Angnst, and on the 10th of that month
tRe first sale of lots occurred at the
milL The prices paid that day ranged
from $Bl to $l3O. per lot, and the names
of Hill, Harris, Evans, Richey, Mc-
Clnrg, McGuffin, Negley, Brinker. Bo
vard, Thompson, Kearns, Brown, Mc-
Collongh, Young, Elliott, Hazlett, Mar
ray, Campbell, Ayers and Ewall ap-
pea ring among the purchasers.
The sales were continued each day
nntil the 16th' when about 160 lots had
been sold, and the total of about $7,000
had been paid to the trustees or was
doe the county.
The sale had been advertised in Pitts
burg, Greensbnrg and Washington, Pa.;
some of the purchasers were from a dis
tance and afterwards rued bargain
and did not lift their deeds.
A few log bouses were erected, some
•tores, blacksmith shops, etc.. were
opened and the town was started; al
though it was not incorporated as a
borough until 1817.
A.t the February term of court, 1804,
licenses for public houses were granted
to Win. Ayers and James Thompson,
and at the May term of same year four
more licenses were granted. Court was
first held in a log house on the Diamond,
Which was rented for the occasion; but
in 1807 a brick house was erected on
the site of the present building, at a
coat of about $4,500, and this building
was, for a time, also used for school
and church purposes.
Some sort of a celebration of the birth
day of the town is being talked of, and
it certainly could be made interesting.
The Russian Fleet Daring the
Civil War.
It is an interesting fact that at this
junction Mr. F.W.Seward, who was as
sistant to his father, the Secretary of
State, daring the Lincoln and Johnson
administrations, should give a clear ac
count of what did happen between Rus
sia and this countTy during the Civil
War. For many years it has been cat
egorically stated that the Russian fleet
which cruised in these waters in 1862
and 1861 had sealed orders to report to
President Lincoln in case either France
or England or both interfered in behalf
Of the Sonth, that after the war the
•ale of worthless Aliska was conducted
for the purpose of paying Russia in dis
guise for tho services she rendered
Mr. Seward has punctnred t ht¥t> in
mors in a most effective way. but he 1
has certainly added to on; sum of
knowledge on the subject. It is well
known that in 1863 the Cabinet of Groat
Britain was seriously considering the
■ubject of some sort of intervention
based on the first overtures of Emperor
Napolean 111, who was ready to do any
thing anywhere and at any time which
would divert home attention from his
domestic policy. Mr. Gladstone late in
life said that the Cabinet never consid
ered the matter in any official sense and
there were no members in its favor
Unfortunately, in the recent biography
of Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Merely quotes
the notes of the great Englishmen, by
which it appears that many of the C»l>-
inet, including Mr Gladstone himself,
were mnch in favor of some sort of in
tervention so that the mills of Lan
cashire might get cotton
Mr. Seward now says that if the Rus
sian fleet had any secret instructions
they were never revealed; that it is
true that at a time when thero was talk
of a combination between France and
Great Britain Russia declined to ac
quiesce and sent to Lincoln tho warm
est expressions of friendship; that Secre
tary Seward refused to receive tho
British and French Ministers together
and ignored an identical note which
they presented, and that Russia did
show friendship in whatever way sho
could, with the result that Alaska was
purchased by this country.
There is so much misinformation go
ing around this country on the subject
that it is well to have tho matter cleared
np. One thing must be boron in mind,
that whatever Russia did or did not do
at that time was not on a sentimental
basis, but because it was her own best
policy. Nations seldom w> to war or
make threats on pnrely ethical grounds.
At the time Russia was smarting under
the defeat ad ministered by Great
Britain and France in the Crimean war. <
and may well have been pleasant to |
this country. There is gratitude due i
for whatever service she may have; |
rendered at the time, bnt it was not i
sentimental, aud it has absolutely noth- i
ing to do with existing conditions.— ] '

Tlic AVar News.
During the past week, or ten days,
the news from the seat of war has con
sisted of contradictory reports.
That the .Taps have control of the
waters, and that a part of their fleet is
blockading Port Arthur, while another
part is guarding the troop ship 3 and the
landing of their army at Chemulpo, the
sea port on the west coast of Korea, is
known; but what the Russians are
doing no one knows but themselves.
In the meantime the air is full of ru
mors regarding the designs of the Rus
sians, from which only one evident fact
can be extracted, which is that the
Russian authorities from the Cz*r
down are in a state of demoralization,
that they are dazed by the serious re
verses which thev have so unexpected
ly sustained, and that they are at a l:>ss
to determine what they ought to do
next. Their hysterical condition of
mind is indicated by the tone and the
tenor of the proclamations whose is
suance seems to fu.-nish a kind of safety
valve for their excited and injured feel
ings. In these astonishing and futile
deliverances they continue to protest
against the impoliteness of the Japs in
attacking their squadron without first
giving them notice of the day and hour
of the intended assault, and they call
all civilization to witness that the' little
brown men" whom they failed to bluff
into submission have taken a most un
fair advantage of their unsuspecting
cjnfidence. They did not think the
Japs, who had always been so kind and
courteous, would act in that unfriendly
way and their delicate sensibilities are
deeply wounded.
Secretary Hay's note to the powers,ad
vocating the restriction of hostilities to
the territory now occupied by the con
tending nations, and the neutrality or
integrity of China, has been fivorably
received, but, as a matter of fact, it is
the integrity of China first, and her own
safety and interests after, that Japan is
fighting for. If Russia had been al
lowed to absorb Northern China and
Korea, Japanese interests would have
gone glimmering, and Russia would
have been in position to attack her at
any time.
An Inevitable Dilemma.
The passage by the Assembly of Puer
to Rico of a resolution demanding eith
er admission to statehood in the United
States or independence gives warning
of a trouble that is sure to present itself
so long as we maintain dependencies in
the anomalous condition of beiog sub
ject to our authority withont represen
tation in the Government. It is inevit
able so long as we teach republican
principles to our wards that they should
become imbued with the idea of the
right to representation in the supreme
Government; and it is equally certain
on the other hand that every such re
quest will arouse the antagonism in this
country to admitting peoples ot alien
race and language to participate in the
legislation of the United Spates.
The application from Puerto liico
comes rather early. Next to Hawaii
Puerto Rico has boen tho favored child
of the United States and has practically
a territorial government of its own. It
can afford to work along for a time as
it is, until the ultimate decision can be
made with rather more freedom from
prejudice than at present. But we on
oar side can rest assured that this pro
position is bound to bo urged with
greater persistence and force as the
years roll on and that the final settle
ment must be in one of the alternatives
named in the Puerto Rican resolution
—Din patch.
THE Panama canal treaty was ratifi
ed withont amendment by the U. S.
Senate Tuesday afternoon by the over
whelming vote of 66 to 14. Within 15
minutes afterwards the document was
before the President for his signature.
He acted at once and before the close cf
the official day the clerks in the office
of Second Assistant Secretary of State,
Alvey A. Adee. were preparing the pa
pers needed in the formality of ex
changing ratifications.
TOKPEDO BOATS.
That torpedo iwats. tho hornets of the
navy, costing only alxxit SBOO,OOO each,
can destroy $4,000,000 nud $5,000,000
battleships and escape injury, as was
demonstrated by the Japanese in the at
tack on the Russian fleet at Poit Ar
thur, has set naval officers throughout
the world to thinking.
' "What's the use of battleships and
protected cruisers," lsymen are asking,
"when these little lw>ats can destroy
the biggest of them?"
Battleships and crnners are as great
a necessity for torpedo lioat warfare iih
is the torpedo boat to the battleship and
cruiser. The swiftly moving little tor
pedo bout frequently must refuge
behind the floating fortresses of steel,
jnst as the torpedo l>oat flotilla is e« i
pected to protect the battleship and
cruiser from the attacks of the torpedo
boats of the enemy-
The first naval engagement ot Japan
and Russia has convinced ottiuers that
the torpedo boat flotilla of a navy car.
no longer be reganj'-d as a hindrance'
and bother.
"The most destructive instruments of
war to day are the torpedo boats and
the Whitehead torpedo." declared on*
of the high ranking naval officer* of
the United States. "A torpedo boat
under favorable conditions, and favor
able conditions fjennently arise, can do
more damage by tn/e discharge of one
Whitehead torpedo thai, cut; the ex
penditure of *1 000,000 worth of ntuiu'i

at Santiago."
A Whitehead torpedo is a cigar-slop
ed object mad/- of or bronze or any
metal, i!I inched in 4' ! ' m
eter and from 15 to W feet in length
The "warnose" is on the blunt end of

WAK NOTES.
During a blizzard, one night la«t
Jap torpedo l>oats sank two more
Russian war-ships, in Port Arthur.
On Saturday the Russian troops were
reported to be retreating from Port
Arthur to Harbin, a large town in Man
churia, at the junction of the two east
ern terminals of the railroad, and noted
for its flouring mills: and on Sunday
the Russian scouts were reported along
the Yaln river, while the Jap war ships
were cruising in the vicinity of Port
Arthur. . .
On Tuesday Viceroy Alexieil s retire
ment to Harbin was confirmed. Snow
storms of great severity were interfer
ing with the efforts of Russia to rush
men to the scene of war, and concen
trate her army. Japan was yet landing
troops at Chemulpo. Korea, and rush
ing them north towards the \&lu river,
and their fleet, which has blockaded
Port Arthur since the feth inst, was re
ported to have captured four Russian
torpedo boats.
On Wednesday it was reported that
the Japs had succeeded in destroying
seventy miles of railroad between Har
bin and Vladivostok, including some
bridges.
Cabling from Chifu, Feb. 23, a cpr
respondent says 40,000 more Japanese
troops have landed at Chemulpo and
that he has received confirmation of
the report that some Japanese have
landed at Pigeon Bay, others at Talien
wan, near Dalney, and that an engage
ment occurred the nigut of February
12. The correspondent at Seoul of the
Daily Mail reports a panic at Ping-
Yang, Korea, which is regarded as her
alding the approach of the oppo?intr
armies.
Health Conditions.
At Monday night's meeting of the Re
lief Committee one fever death, that of
Catherine Cain, a negro girl who died
at the County Emergency Hospital,
Monday. Two new cases were reported,
a daughter of Frank Lytle of West D
street and Sadie Morris, daughter of
John Morris of Hickory street. Both
are due to secondary intection. General
condition* are improving so rapidly
that the Committee decided to close
the Emergency Hospital at the County
Home on Saturday, and to close the
Committee s laundry work, which has
been ably administered by John W.
Brown, on the Ist day of March. Dr.
W. R. Battof the State Board of Health
was present and daring discussion of
the parity of oar water supply, ptesent
and future, said that the filter as at
present at work removed over ninety
eight per cent, of the imparities from
the water passing through it. and that
more labor and money bad been ex
pended in securing a pare supply of
water, and keeping it pure, for Bntler
than had tor ninty-flve pre cent, of the
other towns of Pennsylvania. There
are not more than 100 fever patients in
the town at present and it is safe to say
that the first of April will see Bntler
entirely free from her fever scourge,
except paying the bills which have been
hung like millstones about the necks of
many of.our citizens-
Preacher Scores Quay uud I'en
nypacker.
Ln a sermon delivered to the several
camps of the Patriotic Sons of America
in the united Evangelical church, at
Pottsville, last Sunday, Rev. G. A.
Knerr touched upon the Pennypacker
affair, and severely scored its defender.
M. S. Quay.
Mr.Knerr was chaplain ot the Fonrtli
regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers in
the Spanish-American war and accom
panied that command to Porto Rico.
He has also been the chaplain o? the
Fifteenth regiment of United States vol
unteers. This is what he said from the
pulpit:
"From all accounts we have the sad
spectacle of a Governor trying to force
liia way into tiie Supremo Court,
against the almost universal protect of
the best citizens, and presumably will
ing to stoop to trickery and machine
manipulation in order to get there. And
this from one who prides himself on his
Revolutionary ancestry. The shame of
it all is that the efforts are likely to
succeed.
Stung by the righteous criticisms of
an aroused public conscience the senior
Senator, who is undoubtedly the archcon
■pirator in this attempt, writes a most
remarkable letter, in which he casts
suspicion on tho members of the Su
preme court, and tho question is how
many members of tin. Court have been
taken by the cuff of their necks and the
seat of their inexpressibles and cata
pulted over the sacred pole which di
vides the Supreme court from the com
mon mortals Shall tho Supreme court
become the plaything of the senior Sen
ator. a mere bench on which sit the*
puppef#—who do not dare not think or
express an opinion of their own'
Jf so, then we are sowing the wind
and shall reap tho whirlwind The
voice from Florida is the voice of Jacob,
but the bands are those of Esau."
\ tin* I'ir<;,
A KIIS fire on Main street, near the
Arlington, attracted iarge crowds of
boys and scared the horses, lust -Htm -
day night. The K»S came from a l"ak
in tbe main, several feet hi low THE HUI - -
face, and the bricks were removed from
several square feet of the st'e«t. and
the gas lighted and coyered, so fiat the
beat would thaw the urounW below.
The pipe was uncovered and tho leak
repaired next day, after a great many
"thousand" f«et of gas had escaped.
This brought up the question of what
the expression "a thousand feet" of gas
means, and an employee of tho Home
Go leijs us that it means enough g«s

The Wheat .Market.
Although last year's crop of wheat in
this country was the largest on record,
running over three billions of bushels,
and the Southern Hemisphere is prepar
ing to market a large crop, wheat sold
at *1 03 in the Chicago exchange, last
week, and May options at $ 1. 07.
"It is hard from the statistical stand
point to figure out exactly where the
rise has come in. Probably there is a
great deal of truth in the statement that
in the last few years an increasing
number of people are using wheat who
formerlv used rve or rice, particularly
the latter. The' hope of this continent
lies in the education of the people of
China and Japan to a wheat stardard of
living. This will come in time, but it
is too much to hope that it has arrived
As a matter of fact, there is a shortage
of spot wheat in this conntry. so that
xnilis have shnt down, but it would be
peruiatnre to estimate dollar wheat for
I the r« st of the year.
Conviction of Kovovick.
After deliberating for an hour and a
half, the jury in the case of the Com.
vs Milovar Kovovick, accused of mur
dering Contractor Ferguson in Wash
ington county, last September, returu
ed a verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree, last Saturday afternoon.
When court reconvened to hear the
verdict the room was filled to overflow
ing. The spectators felt assured that
Kovovick was guilty of Ferguson's mur
der arid they so expressed themselves
The trial of Milovar Pattrovick wi il

victing Kovovick the prosecution feels
they have proven who actually touched
