THE BUTLER CITIZEN.. WILLIAM C. SEGLKT - Pnb'.Ubc r. THURSDAY. JULY 38, 1904. Sl.ee per year Is A4vsg«. Otherwise SI-SO REPUBLICAN TICKET. President—Theodore Roosevelt, Vice President—C. W. Fairbanks. Supreme Judge—John P. Elkin. Congress—Hon. Geo. F. Huff. State Senate —George W. McNees. Legislature—Hon. Thomas Hays, Dr. W. R. Hockenbeny, District Attorney—Samuel Walker, Clerk of Courts—L. E. Christley. POLITICAL. At the conference, held in Butler, last Thursday, Senator Williams gave way to Mr. McNees of Kittanning. and made him the nominee of the Butler- Armstrcng district for State Sena tor. Mr. McNees is a native of this connty, having been born near Hallston. He went to Kittanning when a young man, and has for years been President and Manager of the large fire-brick plant there He is a very popular man in Armstrong county and his ability and fitness for the office are undisputed. The Bntler Postoffice appointment is "hung up," and it is said that the Pres ident requested the P. M. General to hold all Presidential postoffice appoint ments for a time —possibly until after the election. Congressman Huff, be fore leaving for Europe, is said to have recommended Eli Robinson. At Jefferson City, last Thursday, the Missouri Democrats nominated Circuit Attorney Folk of St. Louis for Gover nor. Folk cleaned up the city, and promises to clean up the state if elected. President Roosevelt is preparing his "letter of acceptance" at his summer home at Oyster Bay, L L Davis, the Democratic Vice Presi dential nominee, has subscribed a mill ion to the campaign fnnd, and the Dems will fight for New York, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Connecticut, and some other states. They feel sure of the "Solid Sonth" and some of the border states; bnt Circuit Attorney Folk of Bt. Louis has been sending so many Democrats to jail that Missouri may go Republican. All the Democratic guesses on the Presidential election start off with the "Solid Sonth." For instance, here is August Belmont's latest: The Solid South 151 Maryland, West Virginia and Delaware... If Sew York. New Jersey anil Connecticut.. 5s Total 2-T And then, as it takes 230 electors to win, he names nearly all the other Northern states as being "debatable." Belmont is one of Parker's financial backers. The troubles of the Democratic lead ers seem not to have ended with the St. Louis convention. All last week con ferences were held at New York and Esopus on the question of the national chairmanship, and without practical remit. The eastern wing of the party is anxious for complete control, and, therefore, objects to Thomas M. Tag gart, of Indiana, as chairman, as he oomes from a state in which the senti ment is largely with Mr Bryan on the silver question. They believe that his selection wonld again alienate the east ern gold men, and their votes wonld not only be lost, bnt they would refuse to contribute to the campaign fund. The sinews of the campaign are expected to oome mainly from the east, and espec ially Wall street. Therefore, Senator Gorman or William F. Sheehan would be preferable as national chairman. Both of these gentlemen are inclined to escape the honor if possible. THE strike by the employees of the great meat-packing establishments of Chicago was resumed, Monday. On Tuesday there were riots, during which two men were shot and one beaten, ana the situation was considered serious. Yesterday part of Swift & Co. 's estab lishment was burned. Walter's Dam. The last high water marked the be ginning of the end of the old dam at Walter's mill. Several atones were washed out near the centre and the first big flood will probably wash down the masonary of the breast. The floods of last March washed off the heavy plank and timber covering. The first dam on the site wss bnilt by John and Samuel Cunningham, the founders of Bntler, in 1797 or 171W to furnish power for their mill, which was the second founded in the connty, the first being bnilt by Bernard Marshall on Break neck creek. Until the intrusion of the railroads the Cnnningham mill, and its mrronnding, at the foot of a steep hill where half a dozen giant rocks forced a bend almost at right angles in the course of the creek was one of the beautiful and picturesque sports of Bntler county. Subsequent owners to the Cunning ham's were John Negley, Sr., Robert McNair, Thomas McNalr, Sr.. John Grohman, Jacob Walter, Jacob Boos, George Walter, and at present the latter's widow and children. After the location of the Standard Plate Glass works in Butler the glass company bought the dam and opened a since In it to keep the channel of the creek clear and since that time the dam has been neglected and is gradually go ing to rum. COMMERCIAL agencies report that the iron and steel trade is better, and it is reported from Pittsburg that the net earnings of the United State* Steel Cor poration for the last quarter are alwut $20,000,000, though the official figures are not given out. This is enconraging, in view of the flgeres for the previous two quarters. The charge* of the quarter, on account of interest and sinking funds, will amount to nearly $12,000,000 leaving at least $8,000,000 for dividends. The dividend on the on the preferred will call for over |'l, 000,000 and there will be a nice surplus which is sufficient to pay one per cent on the common, but there is no rearon to believe that it will be paid, as there is always a large sum charged off each quarter. According to the figures of the company, theru is now on hand an immense surplus fund with which to enable it to "do its own banking," bnt it is getting very tiresome for the stock holders of the common variety to read glowing accounts aud get no dividends. In the business centres of the country last week, call loans were made at less than one per cent, which indicates a phenomenal condition of the money market. We are getting a lot of money from Japan and other countries, and | there is a demand for good invest ments. KILLED AT MA KM. ▲ relief operator named Page, while crossing the tracks at the Mars Station to board the southbound 0:20 for his home in Allegheny, last evening, was •track and instantly killed by the northbound &B. 4 P. Express. His WAR NOTES. The military operations in Manchuria were overshadowed, last week, by tfce war cloud that arose over Europe, caus ei by the doings of the Russian vessels in the Red Sea. These vessels pa.-ed the Dardenelles under the guise of the Red Cross: they were irregularly in commission and might have been ad judged pirates. After the capture of the P. &: O. steamer Malacca, carrying the English flag, and her detention because she was j carrying forty tons of amunition con signed to Hong Kong. China, the Eng lish government sent its Mediterra nean squadron to Alexandria, and sent two fast cruisers into the Red Sea Then the Russians backed down com pletely, so far as the Malacca was con cerned, and has since done the same re garding some German steamers, but the matter is not yet settled. A St. Peters burg correspondent says the whole af fair was an exhibition of the Grand Ducal Stupidity in charge of the Rus sian Navy. Our turn may come next. Cargoes of coal and provisions ship ded from San Francisco and Seattle are constantly on the high seas bound for Japan, the government of which has contracts with American packers for ten million pounds of beef. The Russian Vladivoetock squadron lately evaded the Jap squadron aud is now on the Pacific, presumably along the east coast of Japan, and vessels car rying the American flag are liable to capture at any time. Provisions and coal, excepting under special conditions, are not contraband of war, and if any of our vessels are seized our Government, should insist upon a strict construction of the Law of Nations as. generally understood today. The Russian idea—like slavery —should not be allowe d to spread over the earth. In Manchuria the military operations of last week were in the vicinity of Liao Yang, a railroad town now said to be occupied by the first Jap army, under Gen. Kuroki, which if true,shows that the Japs are in the rear of the main Russian army nnder Kuropatkin, and besides this the Japs captured and are occupying the mountain passes to the east, are in force to the south, and Jare landing an army at the port of Ying Kow to the west. They seem to have the Russian army completely surround ed. On Sunday a battle lasting for four teen hours took place near New Chwang a large town near the month of the Liao river, and near the port of Ying Kow. A Russian division attacked a Jap. di vision engaged in a flanking movement, and were severely defeated; and the evacuation of New Chwang by the Rus sians followed. On Monday detailed accounts of the capture and sinking of the English steamer Knight Commander, off the coast of Japan, by Russian war vessels, were received. The vessel sailed from New York, May Oth, with a large and varied cargo of merchandise, consigned to firms at various East Indian and Chinese ports, and also some bridge materials consign ed to an electrical firm at the port of Kobe, Japan. Sbe stopped at Singa pore. Manila and Shanghai and dis charged part of her cargo, and was cap tured by the Russian veaeeia on her way to Kobe; her crew were taken ou board the Russian vessels and she was imme diately snnk. The Russians seem to be deliberately courting trouble with all the nations of the eaitb; and fears are entertained for the Pacific mail steamer, Korea, carry ing the American flag, and aninnition and arms for this government to Mani la, and now nearing the Japanese roast. The sinking of the English merchant man, Knight Commander, was the sub ject of discussion in Parliament, Tues day. The act is condemned as being withont precedent and contrary to the generally accepted doctrine of interna tioual law. At or about the same time Russians sank two Japanese merchant men withont making any attempt to rescue their crews, all of whom proba bly drowned. This was witnessed by the crew of the Knight Commander. The word from Manchuria yesterday was that the Jap# had turned both Hanks of Kuropatkin's army, and hail then made ft terrific attack on his cen tre, forcing him to retreat northward. The Japs are in possession of Newchang, tbe former Russian stronghold, and thin puts tbem in touch with the former "Black Flags" of China, who so greatly annoyed the Freutb some years ago. Kurokl's army to tbe north jpenaces the Rnssian line of retreat, and tun Dear seeius to be in a trap. TIIK INDIAN MOHAWK. Mlajrcr of Wlgton Family uml Home Account ol' Him. Ewroit Ol' CITIZEN: —Frequeut re ({nests have lately been made to tbe writer of this to give the public bis knowledge of Ham Mohawk, the Indian slayer of the family of Jauie* Wig ton, of .Slippery Rock township, this county, on tbe morning of Jnly 1, IHi'-i, and while undertaking to do h> we wish to state that we write entirely from mem ory, and therefore may not l>e entirely correct in all particulars. According to the best of our recollec tion and belief Mohawk came to Butler on the evening of June'i:), IW>. He came here in the stage then rnnning here from Pittsburg. Other Indians came walking on the same evening. It would seem as is Mobawk was. or had gotten sick on the way. and his companions therefore had gotten him into the atnge. He was ouite a sick man when he came bere. Tim stage then stopped at tin* hotel kept by Col. Jacob Drinker, now the Willard House, and thus it happen ed that Mohawk was taken there. The other Indians l»?ft. I«avi;;g him here Col. Drinker. who was a very If!;f>1 good hearted man, took pity on him, the sympeathy for him no doubt being awakened by his suffering*. Tbe fact was lie had been drinking bard, and was on a drunken spree. To all ap nearanee he had what is known "de ferluui tre men a," Col. Hrinker cared for him. got him any medicine juev sary and otherwise provided for bim During the week or so Mohawk was at bia house, the writer of this saw bim about there. One morning of this time Ham went down to thehousa of the late John Neglejr. father of the writer, who 1 was then living at home. We stioke t«. him. and in answer as to what l I the last we saw of bun until brought j back as a prisoner In person Mohawk was rather tall ' and slim. He was perhap- nix feet high. ! H» uUo looked fairer than Indians Ken- ' eraliy. not to dark or swarthy. This ' may have arisen fro m b.'s sickness lie was dressed in ordinary clothe*. ptjcb as are made and worn by laboring ui<-u among on. There was nothing of Indian : dross on or about him. lie could talk! aomfl English, in that guttural way i* 1 c nliar to the Indian, and he conld un derstand some that was said in English. He was paid to have been bora in _Cat taraniins connty. State of New and which adjoin? McKean county, this State. We wonld suppose he w.-is from thirty to forty years l of age. The rem nant of Indians in that section are now known as "Cornplanters." Formerly thev were known as the "Six Nations one'of which tribes was known as the Mohawk tribe, and hence, it is suppos ed. came the name Sam Mohawk, meaning- Sam of the Mohawk tribe. The Indians np there in those days were great raftsmen. At least they were often employed by the whites to take rafts of lumber down the Allegheny river to Pittsburg This is the way Mohawk got to Pittsbnrir Many of thein returned through Butler on foot. A string of perhaps ten or fifteen of them would often be seen going through here in those days, returning to their homes. There never was any complaint of any bad conduct on their part in passing through here. They behaved themselves well, as far as we ever heard, as did Sam behave while he was h--re in Untler, no one appearing to be afraid of him and he not wanting to harm or disturb anyone. On the evening of June 30, Col. Brinker. believing he was sufficiently restored in health, stir ted him on his way home in the stage The arrange ment as was said was to send him as far as the Stone House hotel in the Mercer stage, go called, and from there he conld be taken or go on the Franklin road towards his home The stage left him at the Stone House, then kept by a Mr Sill What all took place there never was made very clear. Mr. Sill in his evidence on the trial of Mohawk, as we recollect, did not seem willing to admit Mohawk had got any liquor at his house. But the general opinion was that he did and that in consequence i trouble arose between Sill and the Indian which resulted in the of this hotel being shut and locked upon him and Mohawk left to war.der in the woods. It rained a little that night and where and how he spent it conld only lie conjectured. But in the early morning of next day he reached the Wigton house. Mr. Wigton, unfortun ately, had risen early and gone to a neighbor's on an errand, leaving Mrs. Wigton and five children in their beds. What all took place there never was and never can be known. When Mr. Wigton returned he found his wife and five children all dead. A bloody stone near the door showed the weapon used in this most horrible deed. Mrs. Wigton's. body lay outside the house and n°ar her was the large family car ving knife. It was supposed she had arisen and was using it in the prepara tion of breakfast. Cuts upon her hands and arms showed a fierce struggle be tween her and the savage. She was said to havo been a rather large and stronge woman and everything around showed she had fought bravely for her life and that of her children. Mohawk, when he wonld be asked why he killed her and children would say little more than that she was "cross. The suppo sition was that she bad ordered him away, as a frightened woman naturally wonld. and that this with the effects of the whiskey he had got at the Stone House, and" being out all night, caused the devil to possess him and do that awfnl deed. Mohawk fled, but was soon seen, pur sued, captured and secured, in a house about a mile distant into which he ran and barricaded himself. He wanted his captors to shoot him then ami there, and had it not been for the efforts of Mr. William Stewart, a well known and worthy citizen who lived at Hickory Mills at that time, this probably would have been done. lie was brought to Butler and lodged in jail (jreat ex citement soon followed. The people up in the Wigton neighborhood feared the jail was not safe and that he might escape from it, or that by some other way or means he might not receive the jnst penalty for the crime. This fear caused the people there to us«en>hle and resolve, to come in a body, take him from jail and Ui\ih the law into their own hands. They were headed by Col, Samuel Louden, a brave man, find who after wcrds was Captain of one of the first cotnpani' H that went to the de fence of the Union fiom this county. The citizens of this town were of course greatly alarmed on hearing of 'Vj, Louden and his iue«j £*>stfin|£ and the then Judfc'f. Hon John Uredi.'i Hon. William Meutty, Samuel A. jiil inore, Esq., and peruaps other leading citizens, were dispatched to meet the people coming. They met them about a mile north of town at what was then known us tiu; Uleppey House, now Berg farm. Here speerhei; tfcre made and an exchange of opinions had, resulting in the men agreeing to return to their homes. While tbis was going on the Sheriff here in t>wn was busy making all efforts possible to defend jail and his prisoner in c»«» of an attack. A well known citizen, janie* (Jiltnore Campbell, was then the Connty Sheriff. He was a brave man anil determined to uphold the law ar.d do his duty. For this purpose ho summoned every man in reach, a* a "posse com i tat us. t > de fend the Jail. The people generally obeyed. There was a large crowd in front of the jail, some with gan* in their hands. Much excitmeut prevail ed, and it can easily be imagined that it wan a great relief to the citizens of Butler when the news cauie that Lou den and his men had been met and had returned to their homes. The jail then stood in the rear of the present one and Mohawk, in consequence of the fear of bis i scape, was placed in the basement dungeon room. A largu ring, fastened in the middle of the floor, had two pretty heavy chains attached to it, and each one of these chains was attached to a foot of Mohawk, lie wus often visited by the Rev G. Hassler, a very good man and minister then living here. Mr Uawler left a paper, called a con fession <"n Mohawk, which we believe was published m r;'jr pajiers after his execution. At the Septetnl>er term of Ooart true bills of indictment, Hii in number, one for each of hj« victims, were found Moh'iwii. We woqld like here to give u coj >y of one of them liilla but our space will not permit. Each bill bad three counts. The trial came on at the T)ec«i»nbcr term of conrt, IH4B. Hon. John Br'din was Judge, l)unlap McLaughlin, Esq., W;«M County Attorney General, called then Prryi'-cnting Attorney and now District A»t.or«ook gutftorilics on that plea, containing all he wa» nuie to find on the mibject in workn on crlui i'. il law and Medical Jurispindencc.

The boat was returning from Kingston. Ont. to Clayton, N. Y. at the time, and the fire was due to an explo sion of gas in the tire box which threw hot coals into the engine room. The yacht wasfonr milrs from Kings ton and" half a mile from shore. A stiff breez was blowing, and the passengers were enjoying the ride, when suddenly a sheet of flame shot np through the hatchways. The flames shot up to the canvas awnings, and in a moment these were ablaze. While the passengers were huddled forward and aft the engineer and fireman made their way through the flames from the engine room. The crew distributing life preservers, began to fight the blaze. Capt. Barney Nunn headed the Cast anet toward the shore and was followed by the steam yatch Nokotuis belonging to W. H. Nicholas, of N. Y., which was a mile away when the blaze burst out. The burning boat was beached on Cedar island and in a moment the Nokomis was run behind her. The passengers were transferred without the loss of a life and the fire was extinguished by the united efforts of both crews. Engi neer Charles Wood and his son, Ray mond, the fireman, were both badly bnrned, but will recover. On Seeing a Blind lteggar on Federal St., Allegheny. I have no priest. I have no nt-ed, Of stndied r>rayer or written creed, The earth below, the skies above, Teach me my faith, and that is love. I have no faith in mortal man, He covets the earth and grasps what he can: . He would sell his soul for paltry gold And tnrn hi- brother out in the cold. That God's image is stamped upon man kind, we know, Aud we wonder how man can fall so low; It must be that K»tan has slipped in And changed the stamp to resemble sin. God placed us here to help each other Man's creed is to help himself aud no other; He gets riches by meanness, on the sly. And forgets the story of the needle s eye. I have seen the poor on Federal street liegging for bread. The millionaire passed by and turned ed away his head, As if to say such people I can't abide, And like the priest crossed to the other side. A time of reckoning will come some day, When they will hear the Savior say, I told you to be kind to the poor, for with you they will ever be. In as much as ye did it not unto them you did it not unto me. ALEX >l.
