The Ohio River & Lake Erie Ship Canal bill passed the Senate, Monday, by a vote of 41 to 11, and now goes to the House for concureuce :> The fight in the House over fbe meat ■ inspection bill ended Monday, ill ® compromise, -arranged by Speaker Cannon and the President, and after warda ratified by the unanimous vote of the members of the Honse committee on agriculture. The amendment agreed on may be incorporated in the agricul tural bill in ths Hontfe under suspen sion of the rules and the agricultural bill sent back to conference. It is the general understanding that the Senate will take the amended in spection scheme and that the sharp controversy over the matter is at an end. ftp,'? > President Roosevelt signed the Okla homa statehood bill in the presence of several persons, last Saturday, using a gold pen to write Theodore, and an eagle quill pen to write Roosevelt. The ? measure also provides that Arizona and New Mexico may be admitted to state hood as the state of Arizona, provided the people of the territories vote in favor of admission, on the terms sub mitted to tfaem by congress. It is probable that the railroad rate 1)01 will be so amended an to remove oil f ' pipe lines from the list of common carriers. That is the result of the agitation started last week ip behalf of the independent producers of oil. many of whom are also the owners of inde pendent pipe lines. Under the bill as it now stands pipe Uimm us made common carriers and are forbidden to carry freight of their own # production. Those provisions were aimed primarily at the members of the hard coal trust and the Standard Oil Company. The independent oil men bave convinced a number of Congress men that the Standard is so small a producer of crude oil that the pro visions of the bill applicable to the pipe lines will hurt them a great deal more than they will hurt the Standard. The Honse passed the meat inspection f§ measure, Tuesday as agreed upon by the President and the Speaker, without i division. The President accepted the elimination of the provision requiring W dates on canned goods labels, and con sented to the coat being placed upon the »■ Government instead of the packers, i- The Speaker withdrew the court review p : '" clause and that permitting the appoint ment M inspectors tor one year without dvil service examination, and agreed to the insertion of an amendment giving !': inspectors the right to enter packing plants at all times, whether the same be is operation or not. POLITICAL. ||! Vance 0. McOonhick of Harrisburg, Guffey's choice for Democratic nomi nee for Governor, has declared for Emery. v The Standard Oil Co., according to a dispatch from Philadelphia, is after Lew Emery, and will spend a million to prevent the Democrats from nomi nating him. Up In the "ahoe string" Congressional •' district, composed of Venango, MSrcer, Warren, Forest and McKean counties, PjMr. Wheeler, the nominee of forest county sectored the nomination last Week, in the same manner as did one of the Beaver county men in onr old Congressional district. There were ' three ofttferees from each connty and Mr Wheeler had those from his own county and two from Elk, (when he needed them) so he induced the Mercer county men to trade votes with him, and when the proper time came his two Elk bounty men voted for him, giving Mm eight in all, and making him the nominee. It was these tricks at Con gressional conferences that always made as favor the popular vot9 of the whole district— time and ordinary common aanee to settle the equities—but we never expected Butler connty to be tied to a connty to which we are not con tiguous, and which has double onr vote. None of the votes cast at the Re publican primary election at Arnold in Westmoreland county on June 2. were tabulated in the official vote. The committee on contests and protests ap ppinted at the fcounty convention, met and decided to throw ont the votes cast at both polling places. Ex-Governor Francis' enthusiastic tribute to Bryan as a national leader for 1908 shows the drift which is sending a a large portion of the gold element of the Democracy over to the silver chief of the canvasses of 1890 and 1900. Bryan will be feted in New York by the fold Democrats on his arrival in this country in Angnst, after his swing around*the globe. Madison Square Garden, the largest ball in the city, i* to be used as his greeting place. Prom inent Democrats of all factions of the party and of all sections of tbe country will be invited to tbe gathering. > OKLAHOMA came into the Union as the 40th star, and with abont one mil lion of a population. SAN FRANCISCO had four slight shocks, last Friday. A Magnificent Victory.* The magnificent victory of George F. Huff over Edward E. Robbing at the primaries in Westmoreland for nomina tion for Congress and for this district is of the record-breaking kind. Mr. Huff bad a majority of 0774, 22:1 more votes than were cast for Mr. Robbing The candidates live in Greensburg. Mr. Huff carried every ward and had a ma jority of over 600. He carried 80 of the 44) boroughs and 20 ont of the 31 town ships. The former gave him enough votes alone to nominate him. Mr. Huff carried his opponent's home town, West Newton. The papers in Westmoreland Were outright for him. with three ex ceptions, but he carried the three towns where these papers are located. Elimi nating the votes in the industrial cen tors, including those of tbe coal region, Mr. Huff still would have over 3500 majority. Their I*roperty or Our Lives? It would be ridiculous to contend that President Roosevelt is always right, bnt he is right oftener than the average statesman, and in this controversy with Chairman Wadswortb, of the house committee on agriculture, concerning the meat inspection amendment, he is, to quote from the letters of both, "very, very" right. Mr. Wads worth and some of his col leagues make a great ado about the "propertv rights'' of the beef barons, as if property rights were something above the right of men to life itself. The right that any man has in prop I erty is based upon an agreement among j | men. It is no higher than this agree ment, which is their law. It is granted to him that he may have an equal op portunity with his neighbor to live and enjoy the fruits of his toil. In return for this privilege he has of possessing property he is under obliga tions to the rest of the people of the community in which he lives that he shall not use this property to the jeopardy of their lives, to the injury of their health nor to their harm in any way. When he does he forfeits his right to the property that he hold* through the sufferance of those he sinned against. He puts himself and his property be yoij'l the common protection guaranteed under the agreement that men make with each otk?r when he violates that agreement. Property rights are not sacred as these beef trust representatives in congress are now contending. They are snbject to the rlsht of man to live and he msy protect his life even to the destruction of the right of property. The issue that Wadsworth and the other representatives of the beef trust have raised in may be properly entitled, "The beef barons' property, or the people's lives?'' And in this which is the sacred or the higher right? There is a law recognized by men the world over as the first law of n\an. It is known as the l»w of self-defense. And there is not a syllable in that which says that when you invoke it against men who poison the food yon eat you must respect their "property rights," which in this case is the gain they make through the poisoning The time may come when the Wads worths in congress and their trust em ployers will learn that that law is high er even than tbe constitution itself. — Leader. RUSSIA is slowly, but snrely, ap proaching a revolution. The Donma, Monday, resolved to pay no attention to a message from the Czar, dismissing it; mutinies continue in army and navy, also massacres of the Jews in the central districts and a financial crisis is imminent. The situation is similar to that preceeding the French Revolu tion. Govern or iTocli W ill NT o t Hang 50 Men. In replying to the open letter written by Rev. R. A. Ellwood of Leavenworth, in which the minister demands that the Governor sign the death warrants of the 60 or more first degree murderers now under sentence of death "at the will of the Governor," Governor Hoch on Tuesday said: "I shall not decree that these men be put to death and furthermore will never decree the hanging of any man. Do you suppose that if I had a man on the gallows with my hand on the lever ready to spring the trap I'd do it? Sup pose I should say to that poor creature. 'Do you believe in the immortality of the soul?'and he should answer 'Yes.' " 'Do you believe in heaven and hell and that you will go to one or the other of these places?' and he should say 'I do.' Do you suppose I would spring that trap and say 'Go to hell then ? "Indeed, I would not. What a beau tiful spectacle it would be to see 50 men, all in a row, hanged at the same time! "What a spectacle we have here!" continued the Governor. "A minister of the gospel, whose work it is to teach tenderness, thoughtful consideration of others, and who is snpposed to emulate the example of the Savior, suggesting that the State demand an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. He had better read the remainder of the Savior's injunction along that line." ACC'IIJENTB. A son of Charles Eberle of Glenn ave. was badly bitten on the face by a dog, yesterday. John Tnmla had a leg broken at the new Thorn Creek viaduct, yesterday. Theodore Frederick was crushed to the ground at a well in Summit twp. last Friday by some rig timbers falling upon him, and had one of his legs broken. He was taken to his home, west of But ler. Alonzo Hutchens. the victim of the gas explosion in his bouse on the morn ing of tbe Bth inst, died at the Hospital, last Friday morning He was 82 years of age, and is survived by his wife and six children. Arthur Miller, son of J. W. Miller of Butler, was caught by the flywheel of an engine on tbe Vogel farm in Butler twp., last Thursday night, and hurled against the side of the shanty with such force that he went through it. His back and head were terribly bruised, his left ear torn off; he seemed to be in jured internaly. but will recover. During a row on Fairground Avenue, last Thursday, two foreigners were, nearly cut to pieces, and two men were arrested. One of thb injured men has nine wounds. Homer Walker, an Amy Ave. lioy, accidently shot himself in tbe hand a few days ago. George Pringle shot himself in tbe foot with a fiobeit last Thursday, while shooting sparrows. Har|an Book bad everything but his bead broke", Saturday morninir. His horse scared at an automobile, near Geo. Varnum's place, and upset and broke the buggy, spoiled a basket full of eggs, and hurt Harlan's side. He wijl be all right in a few days, but it was a close call. When these automobile peo ple see that a horse is scaring they should stop, end if they do &<rt Ihe law should touch them. Flora Emminger of Clearfield twp., aged 13 years, jumped over a fence, and landed on a copperhead, which bit her ankle. Her kg swelled rapidly, and she was in a critical nonditioji for a time, but will recover. An intoxicated negro is in tbe Hospi tal. was hit by a B. & O. train, near Foxbnrg, and brought to Butler. Dming 1905. 1148 p*»»st,ns lost their lives in the coal mines of Pennsylvania and there were 3805n0n-fatal accident* During a late storm a bolt of light ning struck the slate roof of the C. W. Batne house near Eidenan leaving two holes as large as a cannon ball might effect with no trace of where it ground ed, and no other injury. Arthur l'eterson. the 18-sear-old son of Lorenzo Peterson of tfeyy Castle, was instantly killed last Saturnsy jybile playing ball. He was catching and was struck over the heart by a foul tip. With a groan he sank to the ground and died Ijeforo hip companions reached his side. James Condren of New ,ler«ey u Ann* on account of a remarkable accident He went to visit friends named Mar-I ray. Miss Murray who tips tbe scales, it is said, at a trifle over 280 pounds, I was in a happy inood and in hurrying j ! downstairs to see Condren, tripped "and ; fell, landing upon Condren, who was ! seated at the foot of tbe stairway. Miss j Murry was slightly bruised, but Con- j dren was picked up unconscious, and , with his neck broken. The Cunningham Brothers— Founders of Butler. (Continued from last Week.) During the time this mill was owned ] by the Cunninghams and perhap3 for j sometime after, it was the headqnarters ' or place for all meetings of the people, i whether political or otherwise. County and local arfairs were here considertd and nominations for office were made at this mill. Samuel Cunningham ap- j pears to have generally acted as the • Secretary of these meetings and to have ' been .a man of much usefulness to the I early settlers. The father of the writer ' from his purchase, in 1807, owned and \ operated the mill until 1832. when he sold it to the lat9 Gen. Robert McNair, who with three brothers, the late Thomas. William and James McNair, operated it to about the year 1850 Then it became the property of the late Hon. William Beatty. The late John Mc Karns, a son-in-law of Mr. Beatty. at tended it for a few years, and about 1856 it was purchased by the late Jacob Walter and the late John C. Grohman. On Mr. Walter's deata, 1865, his»son Geo. Walter and Mr. -Grohman operated it until Mr. Grohman sold his interest to the late Jacob BOM. and Mr. Boos and George Walter ope rated it antil Mr. Walter purchased the interest of Mr. Boos, about 1880 from which time it was operated by Mr. Waiter and his sons until his death, 15)08, aud l- now operated by his said sous, Albert aud Edward Walter. Steam was introduced in it some years ago, by Mr. George Walter we believe, and it is*now one of the largest mills of its kind in the coun ty. It stands upou nearly the same ground that the first small log one built by the Cunninghams stood. During the ownership of the father of the writer of this it, tradition tells us. was washed away by a high flood in the creek, 1812. He rebuilt and enlarged it and each suc cessive owner added somewhat to it. During the time of the McNairs it was burned down by a fire, 1842. They re built acd enlarged it. A woolen mill had Le?n ad;led to it by the father of the write* of this, and this too was de stroyed by tlie sre of 1842 But, as said, a "mill-house" wss also built at the time the mill was. This was put across and on the west side of the creek. Why it was built there was doubtless because of a fine spring being there. It stood right in and among the rocks of the second row we have spoken of. There were rocks upon the right of it and upon the left of it and behind it A notabre one wa« on its south sido from the top of which the creek could be setrti aast qnd north. The face of it was covered witti the the boys who liked to gather upon it. The nm railroad route struck it squarely and it had to go. The house was a frame one, square and rather large and well built. Near it stood large oaks, one of which can yet be seen. A cluster of butternut trees also stood near and close to the big rock vet in the creek. But one of them yet remains. Other wild native trees, ferns and wild flowers were profuse around. Small berry trees, the plum and the cherry prevailing, were plenti ful, but these have long since disap peared. The old and, as we believe, the first honse of Butler also disappeared about 1830. Where it stood, the found ation of it. can yet be seen between the two railroads tracks passing there. A mother's kind hand probably caused the peppermint to grow and spread around this old first house, and growths of that pungent and aromatic plant can yet be found in or near its old foundation, ap pearing reluctant to leave the spot. We nave never regarded it a very import ant matter as to when we were born, but as to where born, we confess that we feel it an honor to learn, from tradi tion, that it was in this first house of Butler. Three older sisters, one of them yet living among us, and a younger brother and sister, both deceased, were also said to have been born in that old "mill house." We never pass the spot without realizing the truth of the lines of the poet which say. "How dear to memory are the scenes of our childhood when fond recollection presents them to view." But all is changed now. "The Rocks" are nearly all gone; the last mill-dam is about goiug, all giviDg way to further railroad extension and other improvements, and nothing bnt the place where the old mill-house stood now remains. Of the tract of land spoken of, 800 acres, owned by the Cunninghams, they gave to the County of Butler, when formed, about 77 acres off its north end for the purpose of procuring the seat of Justice here, or County seat as it is call ed. This north end of their land ex tended to a line somewhere between Jefferson and North streets. Exactly where we cannot state. Bnt from where we were shown, when a boy, were the northeast and northwest corners of their tract we incline to the opinion the line would be near North street. Ex cepting about ten acres reserved by them for what was known as the "Com mons", near the mill, all had been laid out into lots and generally sold before Samuel Cunningham conveyed all re maining to the father of the writer of this, as stated. The first Robert Gra ham gave the balance of the ground up on which the northern part of our town now stands. His descendants are yet among us. When the streets of the early Jowu came to be named its people very nneperly named one of them "Cunning nam." This was a deserved honor, and when we look at the names then given to other streets the honor will be the more apparent. We have Washington. Jefferson -nd Monroe streets, so named after three of our early President*. Then wo have, McKean and Mifflin streets, named after two of the first Governors of Pennsylvania. Then we have Wayne street, named after Gener al Wayne, second only to Washington in Revolutionary service. Then we have Penn street, so called no doubt after William Penn. Thus to have the name of Cunningham associated with such other illustrious names was a great honor, but not too great—the name "Cunningham" deserved it. Their gifts to tbe connty and to tbe towu were generous and large. This street "Cun ningham" is the only enduring monu ment left to their memory and should be preserved by our people as such. While Butler lasts it should last. John and Samuel Cunningham were single u<bu and Jeft no descendants here to tell us who tliey werf and what they did. Let the name of this street "Cunning ham" therefore ever remind us of tl;enj We should not close this urticle with out making reference to the fact that through the Cunninghams mainly, xviw the first road loading from Butler to Pittsburg made. This road was a due north arid south one and went direct sonth from our Main street. It went straignt up and down, over bill aud val ley, without regard to obstacles arising from the lay of the land or nature of the country. It passed through about the dividing line* of Jefferson and Penn and of nJlinton and Middlesex town ships. Trace? of it ,can yet be seen. We have some recollection of seeing old Mr. Robert Graham driving hij team upon it at a steep place near present Hospital, So steep was the ground that he had to rest liiw horses, four bays, every few rods. TI.IH road gave way, about 1881. to the old Turnpike road, that wound more around the hills; and this old "pike" gave way in time. 1858 U> present Plankroad that was still more g'raneil 'eveled. These roads were in their tlrno ti.:, OTiJy ones for reaching Pittsburg. Loolc 'at tiiw dif ference now Two railroads running pow. and two trolley or street car ones touting, with electricity as their motive power, to earry people, and perhaps freight soon, to PiHstturg. What next? If in the al>ove we have given to our people any knowledge of John aud Samuel Cunningham, who did so much lin founding the town of Butler, and if we have in any way aided in keeping alive their memory with onr future people, we have accomplished our pur pope in this writing. The removal of Ihc rej£?i ( ns of John Cunningham to their new 'resting nbjee will probably cause his grave to be knovyu i..;' his memory preserved for another hundred years. But for how much longer after that ? Who can tell ? JOHN H. NEC;LEY, Bntlcr, June, iSrtt* P. S. Since writing tlw aboye, the re cant flood in the ("onnoiiuenei,sit)g, Jnno 7. inst, wan tbe first whose waters en tirely circled the ' old rock "yet remain ing in the creek, as mentioned above. This came from its sliding further into the creek, caused by the flow of water on its land side from the railroad, as referred to above. J. H. N. DEATHS.
