WAR NOTES.
Since the Russian fleet was forced to i
leave Port Arthnr, and the practical de
strnction of the Russian fleet by the
Jap fleet, the necessity for the irnmedi
•to capture of the Port by the Japs no
longer exists, and these reports of des
perate assaults on the fortifications,
with the loss of thousands of men.
Which oome through Russian sources
most be taken with a grain of al
lowance.
There is no doubt but that the Japs
•re gradually closing in upon the Port,
•nd that the Russians are losing confl
ate in their ability to retain it
In the meantime operations in the
vicinity of Liao Yang seem to have
oome to a standstill, as neither Kuroki
nor Kuropatkin are reported as doing
•nything.
The war news of greatest interest to
Americans dnring the past few days
was the reported interference by one of
our war vessels with the capture by the
Japs of the two damaged Russian ves
sels that took refuge in the Chinese
harbor of Shanghai. The Russian ves
sels were ordered by the Chinese govern
ment to leave or disarm within 24 hours;
they did neither, but on the other hand
employed an English firm to make re
pairs; the Chinese government was holp-
Isss to enforce its demands, the foreign
there took the case in hands;
the Japs sent in a vessel to see what
was doing, and the American vessel got
between it and the Russians, to prevuit
• fight just there and then, as a
large-Standard Oil Co. warehouse and a
large English warehouse adjoin the
dockyard. The matter was yet pend
ing, Tuesday, but as the two Russian
vessels are the just prizes of the Japs,
they will probably be turned over to
them, or disarmed.
The Russian commander at Port Ar
thur is said to have orders to destroy
Ml the vessels there in case of the fall
of the Port.
The Russian cruiser Noyik, the fast
set and best of the Port Arthnr fleet.es-
Capetf the jnps ~after nr
headed for Vladivostok. but she was
followed and prevented -from entering
harbor by a Jap cruiser, and final
ly sunk in the harbor of Koraavosck on
the island of Saghalien, five hundred
miles to the northeast.
In the fight in the straits of Korea
some of the Japanese shells performed
queer On the Rossia, a shell
bant in a clothes cupboard. Garments
therein were torn to shreds, bat a mir
ror was not scratched. In another part
of the cruiser the walls were blackened
by the smoke of a fierce fire in which
eight gien were burned alive, yet an al
manac on the wall was not even scorch
ed. Aboard the Gromoboi, a shell en-
wardroom and wrecked tho
furniture, but a parrot cage was un
touched.
It was deadly work on the npper deck
where the gunners were without pro
tection and shells striking, killing and
wounding men until the deck became a
veritable shambles—strewn with dead
•nd dyii>g and slippery with blood.
Gen. Stroessel is reported as refusing
to allow non-combatants to leave Port
Arthur, though it is probable that there
are now none there. He sent his own
family away on the Ryeshitelni,„ which
evaded the Japs during the battle and
landed them at Chefoo.
Thirty-six hoars after the Ryeshitelni
had taken refnge at Chefoo—that is,
twelve hours beyond the period for
which a belligerent vessel may legally
remain in a neutral port—the Japanese
' * entered the harbor to assure themselves
that the Russian had dismantled.
They claim to have ascertained that it 1
hod not. and when the visiting Japan
see officer thereupon demanded its sur
render the Russian captain struck him
in the face and knocked him overboard.
A rough and tumble fight, what the
pugilists call a mixup, ensued, and fin
- ally the Japanese, getting the best of
the straggle, took the destroyer with
them, deep ite the protest of the Chinese
officials. Since then it has been in
their possession, and their government
has given formal notice of an intention
to retain it
That is the incident which pet the
world of diplomacy agog, and which
impelled Count Caseini to say that if it
is condoned by the United States it will
be all up with Mr. Hay's "grand
scheme" for maintaining Chinese neu
trality. The Japanese defend what
they aid npon the ground that the Chi
nese are not aole to discharge the duties
of a neutral; that they are amendale to
Russian coercion; that all through the
progress of the hostilities Chefoo has
served as a Russian base, and that the
Ryeshitenli went there with war dis
patches, and therefore was the first
offender.
Both the British Government aud the
Government of the United Slates have
lodged vigorous protests at St. Peters
burg against the manner in which th£
Russian authorities have construed the
doctrine of contrabrand, and against
the recent seizures by Russian warships
of neatral cargoes on the high seas.
Although the protesting governments
have not taken joint action in the mut
ter, but have proceeded independently
of each other, it is stated and may well
be believed, that the positions which
they have assumed are identical. They
each emphatically and unreservedly
repudiate the claim which the Russians
have advanced, and which they have
undertaken to enforce, that pr wisions
consigned to a belligerent poitare, by
virtue of the decree upon the subject
promulgated at St Petersburg at the
beginning of the present couflict, abso
lute contrabrand, as much contra- J
brand as munitions of war, and ttu.t
they may be treated as such in every in
stance withont regard to the circum
stances of each particular case
Great Britian and the United States
though for widely different reasons, are
equally interested in repelling this
ridiculous contention. The former be
ing dependent upon foreign importa
tions for its food, cannot afford to
accept the Russian construction of the
point, because iu the event of its tie
coming embroiled to the extent of hos
itieu with some other first-class power,
it would be in danger of being reduced
starvation through the interceptin of its
customary supplies; while the United
States does a large trade in meats and
cereals which might be nearly ruined
were the Russian view to prevail
Both countries are. therefore, very
wisely and properly insisting upon the
maintenance of the heretofore generally
acknowledged doctrine, long ago enun
ciated by Thomas Jefferson and since
then consistently upheld by the United
States, that provisions are only Con
ditionally contraband; that they may lie
contraband or may not, according to
circa instances, and that to render them
liable to confiscation they must l>e in
tended for the use of tfie arjjiy in the
filed or of a surrounded or blockaded ;
garrison.

was destroyed in St. Paul, Tue gaie
; came from the north west.
THE extraordinary advance ou the
price of wheat comes at a time when
the farmers of this section have none to
sell, aud is due to reports of poor crops
in all sections excepting Southern Rus
sia. We use more wheit per capita
than any other Nation, anJ there is no
doubt that the demand will exceed the
supply, next winter. Tliw shortage will
cause au increased consumption of corn
and other cereals, acd it may that
we will bo forced to cultivate an ap
petite for rice, on which the Jans so
thrive. The stock markets, last week,
were dominated by the price of wheat
and steel billets.
THK program of the War Department
for the instruction of the National
Guards of the different states bv hold
ing joint encampments of militia and
regulars received a backset at Athens,

camping together; some militiamen on
duty arrested a drunken regular, and
then some regulars armed with loaded
weapons attacked the provost guard,
and shot and killed a Corporal, and
wonnded a Sergeant and some privates.
The matter is inyestiasted, and it
is not yet known whether the men
under arrest will be tried by the civil
or a military coart.
EARLY l)A VS OF UI TLKK.
The C'uiniiiighum Boys and
Tlieir Gift t«» the County. j
EBITOK OF THE CITIZKN:— When, |.
over four years ago, the movement was ,
made to have H Centennial Celebration j
of the birth of ihe county of Butler; a
question arose as to the propriety of in
cluding the town of iiutler in the celi
bration. As the town »va3 some three
or four years later in its organization
than the county it was concluded t <3
have only a county celebration, «hich
we all remember as i great success.
But the writer of this, ever s;nce then,
has had in mind to write somethings
concerning the eariy town itself that
have come to him by tradition, so to
speak, or by information from fitter
to son. We are also indebted to the
late Mr. David Dougal for some of !l;e
matters hereinafter stated
Th«.- town of Bntler was not of itself
iu running order until the years 1803 1
The county however had been created
in the year ISOO. But previous to that
date two young men, John and Samuel
Cunningham, came to where Bntler
now stands. They built a house and a
Homing mill, the latter standing on the
same spot where the mill now known
as the Walter mill stands. The house
was across the creek, among and al
most surrounded by large rocks. This,
as near as the writer could ever learn,
was in the year 17U7. They, these Cun-.
niugham boys, as we will call them,
were said to have come as the agents or
friends of Robert Morris, of Phila
delphia, who then was the owner of all
the lands about and south of here. An
older brother, James Cunningham had
been the surveyor, who laid out what is
known as the Cunningham District of
Depreciation lands, extending from a
few miles north of here, south to the
Allegheny river. From this and other
facts it is supposed that John and
Samuel had some knowledge, or belief,
as to where the town or county seat
would be located. At least they were
active iu having it located where it is
For this purpose they gave to the coun
ty about 77 acres off the northern end
of their tract of land. This tract, of
300 acres, had been given or sold them
by Robert Morris It was then known
as the Tressler tract, the survey of it
being made iu the name of John Tress
ler. But when the Cunninghams took
out the pateut for it they calfed it "But
ler," after the name given the county,
and by that name it appears upon our
records. The 77 acres they gave for the
county seat extended from near their
'mill property down to or about what is
now Jefferson street, according to oue
tradition, and accordiug to another
given the writer, they extended beyond
or north of Jefferson street to at or near
North street. The writer was never
able to learn the exact line dividing this
Tressler or Butler tract from fihe Reicli
art or, Graham tract on the north of it.
but certain it is that John and Samuel
Cunningham gave the gronnd that or.r
public buildings now stand upon and
that most ot the early town was built
npon.
John Cunningham died in 1805, and
his bones lay in the old burial ground of
this place. His death is said to have
been a great shock and loss to his
brother Samuel. They were in the
midst of a prosperous business. Their
mill was the centre of trade and attrac
tion. It was the first and only one near
the county seat. All the first public
meetings, of a political nature or others
" "Wide, are said to have been held at this
mill. But Samuel, who was the most
active and business one, became dis
couraged at the loss of his brother aud
concluded to sell his property and re
turn east to his former home. Between
him and the father of the writer, the
late John Negley, there was a warm
friendship existing. Just when or how
the}' first became acquainted we are not
able to say, but as the mill was erected
previous to the organization of the
county or the town, and as Mr. Negley
was said to be its firtt miller, they must
have met previous to the year 1800.
The result of their friendly relations
was the selling by Samuel to his milh r
all the balance of his tract, abont. 237
acres, aud including the mill. This was
the halance of the 300 acres after the 77
acres given for th 3 county seat. And
thus Mr. Negley became their successor.
Lots had been laid out oil Uie«»j 77 acres
aud nearly all of them sold previous to
the sale of Samuel Cunningham to Mr,
Negley, which was in the year 1800
1 Now the greater part of the 230 acres is
! covered with dwelling houses, stores,
i mills, manufactories and other build
ing*. composing most of the Southern
end of our town,
Before closing as to them it might be
, well enough to state that John and
Samuel Cnnningham, the just founder*
of our town, were not related to any of
that name who have since lived in this
; place, or in the county. The late D'V<l
' C. Cnnningham. Esq., who died in the
■ upper part of the conuty some years
■ ago, was not a brother, but was said !■>
be a relative of John and Samuel. We
. might also add that John and Samuel
Cnnningham, cansed, at the instance of
' Robert Morriv, it is said, the making of
the first road between Pittsburg and
Butler, which weut directly uortli and
south, strait up and down over hill aad
vale, and tha remnants of which may
, be seen to this day.
Among the other eaily l
1 town, in addition to those spoken of
above, were William Ayres, David Drm
gal. Col. John Purviauce, William
, Campbell, John Gil more. Jacob Mech
■ ling, John Potts, Hugh McKee, Robert
Scott, Abraham Brinker. John McQuis-
Dion, Robert Graham, Walter Lowrir*.
John Bredin. Maurice Bredin, William
Leatiy, David McJunkin, John Sullivan,
David Walker, John Duffy, Peter Duffy,
i William Kearns, and no doubt others
I whose uames cannot now bo recalled.
Some of the above may not have lived
withiu the limits of tho town, or may
not have been here at the first sale of
its lots, 1803, but nearly all bee-tine
owners of lots or lands in or about the
town John McQuistion for instance,
who lived outside the town, became
owner of several lots within it and
built several houses on same. Jacob
Mechling, Sr., although one of the flr.-t
officers and citizens ot the county, we
believe did not come to town (from what
is now Washington township) till about
1800, when he purchased. from Abraham
Brinker the square on the Diamond, s<>
long known by his name. End also ac
quired lunch other valuable property
John Potts, Hugh Mclvee, William
Campbell, Sr.. John Gilmore David
Dougal, David Walker, Walter Lowrie.
John Negley, John Bred in, and others,
became owners not, ouly of lots bat of
much other land in the conuty.
Jnhn Negley and John Bredin eventa
ally became perhaps the largest holders
of lands in the county, while Mr D-u
gal and Wait r Lowrie probably beoaaie
rhe largest holders of town lots. Things
are veiy much changed now aud some
of the above names are almost un
known. Take for instance the Gilmore
family which sixty years ago was per
haps the rating oije in Butler. Now
there is but one descendint of it to be
found here. same might also be
said of some others ot tha pioneer
families of this tjwu. Most of these
early families came here from Alle
gheny, Washington and Westmoreland
counties. From Westmoreland perhaps
more came into tbe county than from
any other county of the Stnte.
But our principal object iu this vv.t f
to give some account,-is told us, of John
and Samuel Cuuningham, who had so
much to do in the location of onr coun
ty seat here, and who built the first
mill, and probably the first house hure,
and now having done so we conclude.
Veiy Respectfully,
JOHN 11. NEGLEY.
