his age.
The removal, by DEATH of Mr.. Barr has
created a sad vacuum in the family of which he
was the beloved and honored head whilst the
neigh hborhood in which he lived has sustained
the loss of Il good and upright citizen. Congo

whom he had intercourse, he made many warm

that he has gone to blessed Immortality above

Riot Bribery Cases.

HARRISBURG, August 2S.-District
Attorney Hollinger has entered notle
proseqd in the cases of DR.. +. X.
Shoemaker, of this city, and Repre-
sentative Daniel C. Clarke, of Phila-
delphia, charged with corrupt solieita-
ton during the eprogress of the riot dam
ages bill through the House. This was
done because of the insutficiency of ev-
idence against both. Shoemaker is one
of the original defendants whom the
House Committee were directed to
prosecute. The action of the District
Attorney in his case was made with
their consent, as they thought it was
the weakest one of the lot, and were
anxious to reduce the number. Clarke
was returned by the grand jury on tes-
timony elected in the jury-room. His
case is also regarded as weak. The
bail off Geo +. Smith and Christ
Long has been renewed for their ap-
pearance in November

A Harvest Home.

EDITORS CITIZEN In your last is
sue you had the goodness to notice the
Harvest Home Celebration held by
the Springdale Evangelical Lutheran
Church of Concord township, on
Thursday 18th, last Will you permit
me to say further that it was indeed a
most enjoyable affair. The attendance
was unusually large, embracing the
three congregations in Rev. Stream
er's charge and the whole neighbor-
hood. The arrangements were, in all
respects complete The addresses by
Revs. Marshall and Bean of the Pres
byterian church, Rev. Clyde of the NJ
f. church and Revs. Felker and Zim-
mer of the Lutheran church were not
only appropriate but interesting and
edifying; and the singing conducted
by Prof. John Andre, assisted by Mr..
Jacob Halstine, leader of the church
choir, and participated in by our young
friends of other churches, was certain
ly well rendered and delightful. The
presence of the Unionville martial
band was an agreeable surprise and
contributed much to the enjoyment of
the occasion and as to the provisions,
including the coffee-everybody said
it was all excellent, and what was left
would have fed half as many more.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the good conduct of all. The order
was unexceptionally good and every
body went away well pleased. As a
festive occasion it was just such an ex-
preston of gratitude to God for
bountlful harvest as an intelligent,
pious Christian people might be ex-
pected to render. PARTICIPANT

tended, and but one sentiment pre-
vailed as to the integrity and indus
try of the deceased as Judge and his
high social qualities as man.
THROUGH the Eagle last week
Thomas Robinson and others, as is
supposed, repeat a silly story, to the
effect that DR.. Roberts should have
said, at the Mercer conference, that if
he were nominated he would expend
of his means literally. As DIR. Rob-
erts was not nominated of course there
is nothing in this supposed mares
nest" and therefore we paid no atten-
ton to it. And as the character for
honesty of Mr.. McJunkin and his con-
ferees, as well as the character OF
Messrs. Robinson and others are well
known in this community, we were
disposed to consider their insinuation
somewhat as the man did the kick OF
the mule-to wit: the source from
which it came. But as these honest
gentlemen insist on a notice of the mat
ter, we will say, that, as to the insinu-
alton in the said article, it is wholly
and unqualifedly false so far as Mr..
McJunkin or any of his conferees are
concerned. And so far as we know
and we know nothing personally-the
amount of the whole matter seems to
be, that DR.. Roberts expressed will
ingness, in the event of his nomination,
to contribute generously to the cam
paign expenses in the different counties
of the district, our own among them,
to the county committees of the same,
through their Chairmen. This was
certainly nothing unusual. 1t is well
known that candidates for Congress
have to do that, willing or unwilling,
So this is the size of the mole hill. 1t
seems to people here these gentlemen
are treading upon unsafe ground when
they impute dishonest or corrupt mo-
tives to any other persons. Silence
would be wisdom on their part. When
some old matters connected with their
Legislative life, their Bank manage
ment and affairs, and some other matters
not so old that we might allude..to, but
will not now, are cleared up, then this
present matter might be taken up again.
And in the mean time we submit to
the intelligent people of Butler county
whether Mr.. McJunkin, or those
now attacking him, are most en-
titled to their confidence and sup
port We may have other inquiries to
make hereafter

POLITICAL interest at present CEN
tres on the election, next Monday
week for State officers in Maine. Last
year the combined Democratic and
Greenback vote of the State exceeded
the Republican vote by 492. This
year the Democrats and Greenbackers
are again united but the Republicans
expect to carry the State with some-
thing like ten thousand of majority.
Vermont elects State Offices next Tues
day but as the State is always Repub-
lican but little interest is felt by outsid-
ers in her election.
Maine yet adheres to the old-time
Puritan idea of requiring majority of
all the votes cast to elect State tick
ct. In 1878 Governor Conner had l5,-
lis plurality over his highest competi-
tor, but he was beaten under the ma
jority law by 7,243. Under like law
Governor Hoyt would have been re-
turned as defeated the same year by
59,405, instead of being elected by 22,-
353 majority, or what is commonly
called majority in Pennsylvania. In
1879 Governor Davis present, Repub-
lican Governor, received 81, 176 plural
ity over his highest competitor, but
he was defeated by about 1000 major
ity, and had to be chosen by the Leg
islature. Amendments to the Constitu-
tion Of the State are now pending for
adoption or rejection by the people, ac-
cepting the common sense system of
electing by plurality and postponing the
the State elections to November.

The Eagle still seems to be
troubled about the Mercer conference.
The conferees there of Mr.. McJunkin
did not suit Mr.. Robinson. Of course
not. But he is quite mistaken when he
says that DR.. A. w. Crawford de-
clined attending the Conference. DR..
G. was, with number of other gen.
tlemen and leading Republicans Of the
county, invited to be present, and
nothing but unavoidable business pre-
vented him. To our knowledge he re-
gretted much that he could not at
tend. Mr.. McJunk has no warmer
friend in the county than DR.. Craw-
ford. nor one who is taking deeper
interest in his election to Congress.
