Has Armstrong county n "cinch" on Congressman? The Pittsburg Time of Mondny con tained a siecliil and interesting article on tho Russian oil fields, which was written by Blon H. Hutler, who was sent to Russia for that s)eclnl purpose. Mr. nutlet- traveled 1 4,0(10 miles to procure the Information given In the article. Wo have made the statement before that tho Pittsburg 7VniM Is an up-to-date dally paper, and this Is another evidence of the enterprise of the Time. The staff correspondent of tho Time, our old friend, H. II. nutler, had a very dangerous and trying journey going to and returning from Russia in tho winter time. He was on the sea when the storms raged furiously. Seven dnys his train was snowbound in a mountain pass. Six thousand men succeeded in opening a channel through wjilch the train proceeded. Thirty miles were traveled through a canal dug In the snow, During tho seven days In tho snow drift the passengers got one meal a dny. Two years ago an editor nt Mitchell, South Dnkotn, began an attack on a banker of that town for purely selfish reasons Bnd each week thereafter some insinuation aliout tho bank's soundness appeared in the sheet until the farmers and outsiders began to withdraw their support from the bnnk and the banker worried himself to death over tho mat ter. The citizens then decided that the editor and his paer could bo spared from the town and on Monday of last week they called to see tho editor, who bad gotten an inkling of the coming storm, and was not at home when the indignant citizens arrived. The cltl- . zons appointed one of their number as a vecelvor and they paid into his hands . all thoy thought the printing office was worth and then they smashed the presses and made a bonfire In tho street of the remainder of the office and loft a notice for the editor giving him so many hours to leave tho town. This Is one of tho speediest ways of disposing of a newspaper and Its editor whon both become unpopular. iPunxsutawney Is certainly becoming a noted place. About Christmas time it was settled that a big pig iron plant would locate there. The Spirit and yew have since served notleo on tho Inhabitants of that village that they are likoly to bloom into daily papers most any time, and last, but by no means least, a loud and long howl has gone up until It has reached the eur of tho Jefferson county court, in fact it has reached beyond the boundary lines of Jefferson county and our neighboring counties have hoard tho sound thereof, that a fraud: fraud! A roal election fraud, was perpetrated in Punxsy. Whethor there has been a fraud or no, we are not ready to pass judgement upon, however, it looks now as though tho Court would be called upon to settle some ugly allegations that are freely made. A petition was presonted to the Court last wook containing eleven counts, in which general irregularities . are charged In holding election nnd counting ballots. The contest for constable at the recent election in Punxsy was very spirited, and charges of fraud were made on tho day after election, but the climax was reaehod on the following Thursday morning after the election whon it was discovered that tho bullot box, which had boeu left at Esq. Jos. Wilson's office, had been broken open by some one. Whether any ballots were taken out is not known, nor will it be until the Court authorizes some person, or persons, to re-open the box. The affair will be watched with considerable interest by the tax payers of the county, for it the case comes to a trial, and there seems to be no other way now, the Commonwealth will have about two hundred witnesses to pay mileage for, besides the witness fees, unless, as the Spirt suggests, the case be tried to the opera house at Puuxnu Uwney and thus save the mileage fee, which would be quite an Item in this NEW COUNCIL ORGANIZED!
