The M. E. Ministers.


ERIE, Pa, Aug. 7.-fhe topic ageF
which official circles of the Methodist
Episcopal Church is most interested
now Is the proposed change of the pas
toral term. AT the meeting of the
Erie district the ballot was four to one
in favor of leaving it at the present
limit-three years. The ballot in the
Erie district is fair indication of what
the feeling is on the matter in the Erie
Conference, which embraces the coun-
ties OF Erie, Crawford, Warren, Nc
Kean, Venango, Mercer, Clarion, JEFF
ferson, Forest and part of Butler,
about two hundred churches Those
who arc in favor of increasing the term
to Ave years or longer contend the
clergyman's inability to become ac-
quainted with the people that hs Can.
not carry out any plans or line OF &C
tion in so brief a term; and that he can
not build up church around his per-
sonality or popularity, as elergymen Of
other denominations do. Those in
favor of the present system claim that
the average minister, if left to himself,
cannot sustain himself longer with
profit to the congregation in charge,
and therefore the triennial change is
made without friction, as it is legal
necessity, to which gil must submit.
The matter will come up for action ct
the next General Conference, which
meets to iegislate for the Church neXt
May in Philadelphia, and which is the
only ecclesiastical power that can make
the change.

Now for Manufactures.

Now is the time for our people to
turn attention to manufacturing bust,
ness. All we need is the introduction
of some good manufactures We have
everything else. Four railroads now
enter Batler and our population must
rapidly increase. The manufacturing
establishments that now exist are do
ing an excellent and extensive business.
The more recent one established, the
Glass Works, is doing business be-
yond expectations. A large lumber
business is done. The firm of the
Purvis Bros, bring in and sell an i'm
mense amount of all kinds of lumber
for building, fencing and other pur-
poses. But we need other kinds. A pa
per mill, it is thought, would pay we'll
We have all the material, and now all
the facilities for iron manufacturing.
But there are other kinds that might be
profitable. Our object now is to di-
rect attention to this matter, and we
hope soon to hear of some new estab-
lishments being introduced.

Can Come by Rail.

The making of the Connecting Link
now leaves less than half dozen Of
our townships and towns but can come
to But Ter by rail. The first road made,
Butler Branch, from Freeport here, ac-
comm odated to greater or less extent
the citizens of Buffalo, Clinton, Jefler-
son, Winfield, Summit and Clearfeld
townships, in coming to Butler. The
second road made, the Karns City
extension, accommodated Allegheny
Parker, Fairviews, Donegal, and Oakland
twps., with their towns, as we'll as
parts of Clearfeld and Summit twps.
The third road, made from Butler down
the Connoquenessing to near Evans
burg, (now Evans City,, and now
know as the Pittsburgh & Western,
connecting at Gallery Junction with
trains for either Pittsburgh or New
Castle, accommodates, more or less,
the citizens of Adams, Cranberry, Mid.
dlesex, Forward, the Jacksons, the
Connoquenessings, Penn, Lancaster
and Butler twps., with the towns oi
Zelienople, Harmony, etc. The fourth
and last one, connecting the Butler
Branch, or West Penn, with the She
mango and Allegheny road, will accom-.
modate in coming to Butler in whole or
in part, the citizens of Venango,
Marion, Mercer, Slipperyrock, Cherry,
Clay, Center, Brady, Concord, Wash.
ington and Worth twps., with their
numerous towns and villages. This
leaves in fact but the townships OF
Muddycreek and Franklin that it may
be said are not as yet convenienced by
the construction of railroads to Butler
Their time will come next.

THE NEW RAILROAD REACH
ES BUTLER.
Days of Interest to Our People
The New Road Saluted.

Last Thursday and Friday were
DAYS of interest to our citizens. The
fourth railroad had reached our town
and there was general rejoicing. The
"Connecting Link" was made, the
last spike being driven on Thursday
evening, Aug. 8. On the event being
known a general salute was given
from the whistles of the locomotives of
the other roads, by the ringing OF bells
and other demonstrations of joy.
On the next day the new road carried
large number of the State Militia to
Greenville, on the way to their en-
campment at Conneaut Lake.
Thus has been opened another i'm
portant route to and from this place.
The connecting link connects US with
the main branch of the Shenango and
Allegheny Railroad, near New Hope
this county. This opens up to trade
and travel what is supposed to be the
richest part of our county in coal and
other minerals. In coal especially
large fields will undoubtedly now be
d eveloped and much additional bust.
ness be done in that line. 1t will also
give speedy and cheap communica'
ton with Butler to the citizens ol
about ten of our townships. The very
heart of the county it may be said is
now penetrated by railway.
A glance at the map and a calcula.
tion show that to any one going North
to Mercer, Greenville, Meadville OF
Erie, the connecting link shortens their
travel about twenty-five miles. Green
vile can now be reached in about 60
miles, or less. By New Castle, or any
OF her present railroad route, it takes
about IS miles travel to reach that
point. AS Greenville is on the direct
way to Meadville and Erie it will con-
Sc sequently shorten the route to those
places about the same number of miles.
To Oil City, Cory, Titusville, and
other points North it will be just
about as short route as any other
that can now be travelled.
Much credit must be given to the
managers of the Shenango and AL
legheny for their energy and untiring
efforts to hasten the completion of this
road to Butler. Mr.. Steele, the Presi-
dent, and Mr.. Blair, the General Su-
perintendent. were frequently with their
men as the road approached this place,
giving matters their personal attention
and taking lively interest ia seeing
the last spike driven. They are the
right men in the right place for rail-
reading. e'I
We presume formal opening of this
new road will be had some of these
days soon, when we will haye more to
say. In the meantime we rejoice with
our citizens at this increased evidence
of business and future prospects.

former lines of travel from Pittsburgh
and this point to points directly North
of here. Heretofore the two routes
from Pittsburgh North, were either by
the Allegheny Valley road or by the
Pittsburgh and Erie road The fol-
lowing show the distances that can be
saved now to some of the principal
places north of Pittsburgh and of this
place.
From Pittsburgh to the City of
CORY, for instance, TIE miles to be
travelled from Pittsburgh, by way of
the Allegheny river valley road, are
III. By the Pittsburgh & Western
and Connecting Link, by way of But
ler, is but 162 miles.
From Pittsburgh to Oil City by the
Valley road is 1872 miles. BY Butler,
as aforesaid, is but ia miles. To
Greenville, from Butler, by way OF
New Castle is 80 miles Now, by the
Connecting Link and Mercer, is but 81
miles. From Pittsburgh to the same
point still greater distance will be
shortened by coming by way of But.
Ter.
The above are only few of the
points north of here that the distance
is shortened by way of this place. Tc
go therefore now from Pittsburgh to
points North, the travelling public will
soon learn to ask for tickets "By way
of Butler" And the same will tie the
case in going South from points north
| of here.

DEATHS.

BROWN-At her residence in Buena Vista,
Butler county, Pa, July 10th, 1888, Mrs.
Sarah Brown, wife of Mr.. Matthew Brown,
in the I'D year of her age.
She was the mother of two sons and five
daughters, all of whom are living and are
the heads of families, and were all present to
follow her to her last restin. place. She has
also living fourteen grandchildren and six
great grandchildren, two grandchildren hav-
ing died in infancy,
Dearest mother thou hast left us,
Here thy loss We deeply feel,
But tis' God that hast bereft us,
lie can all our sorrows heal
But again we hope to meet her
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to meet her
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Mrs. Brown, we believe, was born and raised
in Butler, her maiden name being Dickey, sis
ter to Henry and William Dickey, late of this
place deceased Mr.. Matthew Brown, the be-
rreaved husband, also formerly lived here. He
has the sympathy of all his old acquaintance
and friends.

Bill Signed.

The Governor has signed the bill
forming the State into new Judicial
districts. 1t is therefore law for the
coming ten years, after January l, 1885
As we stated last week, this county is
made separate district, but the
county of Lawrence is attached to il
for Judicial purposes. The difference
between this and the present arrange.
ment is simply this: at present Butler
and Lawrence counties compose the
district, each being equal as members
or parts of the district. Hereafter
Butler county is the district,
retaining the old number as
such. A provision ofthe Constitution
allows the Legislature to attach coun-
ties not having the requisite population
for district to counties that may have.
Under this provision Lawrence is at
tached to Butler, but given full and
equal rights in the election of the Law
Judges, as heretofore. Two Judges are
allowed in the bill, to be elected next
year, 1SS4-but one of these Judges
must reside at New Castle, in the
county of Lawrence. So that really
the only difference under the new bill is,
that heretofore, and now, Lawrence
county is a component part of the
l7th district while hereafter (after
January, 1850 she will be merely
attached to this, the 17th district, for
Judicial purposes.

THE coming Ohio election, in Octo-
Der, creates more than usual interest.
The Republicans are hopeful, and the
Scott law, which makes saloons and
drinking places pay their share of the
