HIS TENTH MAN.
Representative Thompson Muir
derS His Wife'S ParamOur.


CINCINNATI, O., April 27.-Among
the passengers who boarded the train
for Cincinnati over the Southern road
at Harrodsburg Junction this morning
where little Phil Thompson, who rep
resents the Eighth Kentucky district
in Congress, and Walter Davis, prom
inent business man of Harrodsburg
Although the two men had rode oyer
from Harrodsburg to the junction on
the same train, they probably did not
observe each other until in changing
cars they both CHANGED to enter the
same coach. Just as the train was
starting Thompson noticed Davis and
instantly rushed at him. Witnesses
say that as he did so he shouted ex-
citedly with an oath, You'll go to
Cincinnati with my wife again, will
you z" There was scuffle which
lasted for but moment, when Davis
retreated from the car. After passing
out his head came on a level with the
window, through which Thompson
fired. The ball entered behind the ear
and passed out of the forehead, killing
him instantly. He fell beside the track
and rolled down an eight foot embank-
meut.
The train was stopped when Thomp-
son addressed the passengers, telling
them briefly why he had been led to
fire the shot. He then said he wanted
to go back to Harrodsbqrg and he re.
turned on the same train that bore the
dead body of Davis. Arriving at Har
rodsburg Thompson went directly to
the Court House, and addressing Judge
Harding, informed him of what he had
done and gave himself up.

Vice Versa.

The Democrats in the House at Haf-
risburg, says the Beaver Times, where
they are in the majority, are not half
as reliable on questions of reform, as
the Democrats 10 the Senate, where
they are in the minority. The latter
body passed the anti-railroad pass u;!i,
aad sent it to the House for concur
renee, where it will either be allowed
to sleep itself to death, or be killed
with mischievous amendments. The
Senate also passed and sent over ths
Philadelphia Recorder repeal bill; and
to the amazement Of nsarl 2 every body,
the House voted to non-concnr; and it
was only after some lively bees were
put into the bonnets OF some Of the
Democratic leaders of the House, that
reconsideration was carried next day
.-3and now the bill is law, and the
Recordss's Office, which has been a
menace to the good people of Philadel-
phia since 1878, is now t.rn up, it is
TO be hoped, root and branch.

1t is unfortunate to say the least
that correspondent should misstate
occurrences to the paper for which he
corresponds, es the editor has no chance
of knowing the facts, as Wis the case
with neighboring paper, in which
the correspondent represents persons as
forging names, or names of firms to
letter to the officers of the P. Il w. X.
H., recommending the change OF the
name of the station here for various
reasons. The correspondent had no
knowledge that such wss done as be

what it should not have said, that

that the people see was benefit, and
by urgent necessity, desideratum to

We aro eisq 10 see the CITIZEN alive
to the 'great question" of the day.
AS it says, the constitutional amend
ment is killed. Well, we suppose it
will always be so until something is
done This may seem paradoxlcal.
Rut in giving the vote of our members
it may Iat be plain to all. If Doniy
voted for the amendment With the
rider on be done wrong, and ii Epcie
Jake voted against the amendment,
with the rider off he done wrong, and
vice versa; if it is a straight deal, "
how did Uncle talk for the amendment
and vote against it !? On or off; and the
saga ef ponly. Tell it plainly Mr..
Editor.
As to the "dog and sheep iav,H |
think the majority of the farmers would
sustain Uncle Jake" ia that be voted
tightly on that proposed law in its pres
ept snaps.
There was q petition gotten UP lare
and signed by number of citizens, by
a mistake, or misunderstanding Of the
order of General Manager of the P. &
w. r. r., changing the name of the
statioa asp to "Bruin." We presume
the officers of the roa.. Gyilll think that
the people don't know how to 1SE
their business. We are glad to say
that the name was not changed back.
Changing the names of towns to the
name of their postottice is certainly "a
consumation deyoutly to be wished"-
in this comfy, at least-how much
better, GIenora, Eau Claire, North
Hope, and Baldwin, would be to FL
dorado, Pennington, North Washing
ton snd Eair.riew. What do you all
say?

By our remarks in another place
our above correspondent will see that

Republican County Committee.

By the notices in another place it
will be seen the members of the Re-
publican County Committee for this
county have been called to meet on
May 18th.
The principle object of the meeting
is to fix the date for the primary elec-
tions, as stated in the call. Other
matters of Importance may, however,
receive the attention of the Committee
The new rules for the government OF
the party in this State, as suggested
by both of the Republican State Con.
ventions of last year, should now be
considered and put into operation.
Their principal object is to do away
with the practice Of County Committees
doing what the people of the party
themselves have the right and should
do. One of these evil practices was
choosing the delegates to State and
National Conventions. This by the
new rules, is now given to the people
and said delegates are to be voted for
and chosen at the primary election, the
same as any candidate for nomination
to county Office is voted for and chosen.
This was considered a necessary re-
form, and we believe the suggestions
of the last State Conventions are being
adopted by all the counties in the
State.
Owing to the fact that there are but
two county Offices to fill this year, those
of District Attorney and County
Surveyor; and to the further
fact that the State Convention
cannot, under the new rules, be held at
q period earlier than the second We'd
nesday of July. there has been no oc-
casion for as early action this year as
heretofore. A further fact that might
be mentioned, is the one that the Leg
islature has not as yet succeeded in
forming any of the new districts re-
quired to be formed. The people, there
fore, have been slow to move this year.
The primaries, however, while not
compelled to be held as early as here
tofore, should now be held at date in
time for the county to be represented
in the State Convention. Any time in
June will now be sufficient for this pur-
pose. The County Committee will no
doubt consider this subject in designat-
ing the time for the primary election
this year.
While. as we have said, there are but
two county officers to elect this year,
yet there are two important State Of
fees to fill, those OF State Treasurer
and State Auditor General. With can
didates nominated for these Offices, by
delegates chosen by the people, we see
no cause or reason at present why the
Republican party of the State cannot
be united and harmonious. The i'm.
portance of this is the fact that all of
the elections this year will be but pre-
liminary contests to the great one COM
ing on next year, 1884, when another
President must be chosen. The neces-
sity for great care in all the political
movements in the party this year is
therefore apparent to all. With NOM
nations made by and for the great body
of the party, and not by and for indi-
viduals or rings, we believe success
can be assured now and hereafter.

THE scarcity in butter is greater
hereabout than ever known before
This can only be accounted for by the
increased consuming population, arising
from the developments in our county
of railroads. coal and coke works, etc.
The farmers now have market at their
doors for all surplus butter, eggs. etc.
and sell to peddlers and thus save freight
and time in carrying to market. The
result will be u necessity for an in
crease in the production.

An Immense Peach Crcp Prom
iSed.

/ Dover dispatch says: At no time
since the Delaware and Maryland
Peninsula has been 3 freis.s-owing
section has the prospect OF the peach
crop been better than now The buds
are just bursting into ping blossoms,
aud there is now little or 10 danger
from frost. Competent judges who
have been visiting the Gfcbards say
that there will be a million baskets
more shipped this year than last. This
will be the largest yield ever known,
9th the single exception Of the phe-
nomede, cop of 1875, when so many
peaches were shippeS tt,.,at the markets
were glutted for several weeks. The
growers will probably adopt the sug-
gestion OF the Philadelphia Exchange
to sell the baskets with the fr.it, and

the return Of "empties."

Theodore TiltOn in Butler.

Theodore Tilton lectured in this
on last Wednesday evening. The de
sire to hear and to see him brought to
his lecture large audience He came
fully up to the expectations of his hear
ers. The title of his lecture, "The
Worlds Tomorrow" was treated in a
practical and very structive way the
object being to show the worlds ad-
vance in art and science in the past and
what we may in all reason expect from
"The Worlds Tomorrow" From a
reference to the improvement in agri-
culture and the mechanic arts he pro-
ceeded to treat of society and political
government. On these subjects be
was able and interesting. There were
none present but felt they had received
new ideas. That part in particular
where he referred to the future of our
own nation was full of important
thought. What we are now. with SO
much variety of race and color, and
what we may be in the near future,
with all the nations of the old world
continuing to pour in their people upon
US, with SO much diversity of language,
of habits, and of conflicting interests
all these he depicted in a manner that
caused all to reflect on the future that
lays before US. His language was
most choice and scholarly and his style
pleasing. That Theodore Tilton is an
educated and able man few would ques-
tion. His lecture closed the last of the
season given our people under the
auspices of the Lecture Association. as
sisted by the Germania Cornet Band,
of this place, who certainly are entitled
to all thanks for the number of pleasing
and profitable entertainments they
afforded our people the past winter.

Republican State Convention.

The Pennsylvania Republican State
Convention will meet in Harrisburg
July III. Only two nominations are
to he made this year, those for Audi
tor General and State Treasurer. The
campaign is not expected to be an ex-
citing one, and were it not for the in
dication it will give of how near har-
mony has been restored to the Repub-
lican party but little interest would be
awakened.
This will, however, depend in great
measure upon the faithfulness with
which the instructions for choosing
delegates to the convention are carried
out. lfthey are selected fairly and
there is no appearance of bossism, the
party will be substantially united.--N.
Y. Tribune.
This reminds US that here in Craw-
ford county there are no candidates for
county Offices to be nominated, but
primaries must be held, for the new
rules require that delegates to the
State Convention must be chosen Gin
the same manner in which candidates
for the General Assembly are nomin-
ated." Inasmuch as candidates for the
General Assembly in Crawford county
are nominated at primary elections.
there is nothing to do but for the
County Committee to meet and issue a
call for the usual primaries. As the
Convention will not be held until July
lIth there is no hurry. Doubtless the
primaries will be held about the usual
time in June, at least that would seem
to be as good time as aDy.-Cralc-
ford Journal.

We are really sorry for the editor of
the Eagle. He takes the probable loss
of free passes SO hard that it grieves
us. True, these free passes have been
a great convenience to him for many
years past, twenty or more. But has
not the Pennsylvania railroad paid
enough in that way for votes given it
so long ago? Then there is the new
Constitution that comes in and Gays
this business must stop. Who should
lament that the paramount law of the
State is being enforced? But the edi-
tor of the Eagle does, and in arguments
as trivial as they are fallacious. He
should, however, try to be truthful
when speaking of others. He knows
we'll enough that the writer of this
never sold a pass in his life, to any
person. Yet he says he did, when he
knew that in the case of the one he
refers to the pass was owned and held
by another person, and on a Western
road and receivedin pay for advertising
for said road. The holder of it claimed
the right to dispose of it,as it was ofno
use to him in way of travel. But, as
usual, the editor of the Eagle when
caught in the wrong is compelled to
make misstatements in order to escape.
A more manly and honest course would
be for him to tell the truth alaoays.

In referring last week to the defeat
in the House at Harrisburg of the Pro-
hibitory Constitutional Amendment
bill, it was stated that the votes of Mr.
Ziegler, one of our members, were ad-
verse to the passage of the bill. We
made the statement from what we saw
in the papers or heard from others. Since
then we have received the Legislative
Record and are pleased to see that Mr..
Ziegler voted to strike out the "com-
pensation rider" clause, which was
put on to kill the bill Both he and
Mr.. Donly voted right on that main
question. The House refused to strike
it out, by q vote of II yeas to Ill
nays, and this was considered the loss
of the bill, and both Mr.. Donly and
Mr.. Zeigler then voted against The bill
on account of that clause being retain
ed.
When the bill was up in the Senate,
before the above vote in the House,
we see that Mr.. Greer voted to post
pone its consideration. What was the
object in thus voting we cannot say,
further than from the way the Record
reads it looks as if the Senator expect
ed the bill to receive the fate in the
House that it did.
