DISHONOR AND DEATH.
The Man Who Robbed Petty's
Store Seeks Death by Drown.


Geo. W. LlShull, farmer who re.
sides mile or SO south of Metz com.
mitted suicide Saturday by jumping
into the Little Usage river. The par
ticulars in the case as run down by a
Review reporter are as follows:
Several days ago the general store
Of DR.. Petty at Metz was robbed of a
wagon load of goods Of various kinds
and the thief escaped until Saturday
when some men in searching for him
found the goods near the Usage riv
er. 1t is believed when LaShull saw
the men coming, he became fr;ghten-
ed and fearing the law, attempted to
either swim the river or drown him
self-the latter being the general sup
position. The river was dragged
yesterday evening and the body re-
covered. On his person was found
81 so, all in pennies which were iden.
tilted as money he had stolen from
the postoffice. A coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict in accordance with
the above. Deceased had resided in
the neighborhood about a month.

DASHED TO ATOMS.
Ten Men Fall 5000 Feet Sheer in a
Nine Shaft.

Nine Shaft.
Houghton, Mich. May 14.-Ten
timbermen were dashed to pieces in
the Red Jacket perpendicular shaft
of the Calumet and Hecla mine at
noon to-day. The miners were COM
ing up in the cage to dinner and
the engineer hoisted the cage against
the timbers of the shaft. The
coupling pin broke and the men
were dashed downward, over 5000
feet to the bottom.
There was no way of reaching the
bottom nor getting the dead men
out except by going through anoth
er shaft half mile away, SO that it
was nearly three hours before the
true state OF affairs could be ascer-
tanned and it will be morning before
the bodies can be brought to the
surface. 1t is necessary to hoist
them $50 feet by ropes to reach the
level of the next shaft, then carry
them nearly half mile through the
drifts and then hoist them by the
man car.

THE NEXT CONGRESS-.
Planning to Have 1t Work IN HarmO-
ny With the Administration.

Planning to Have 1t Work IN Harmo-
ny With the Administration.
Washington, d. c., May 13.-The
Star has this: ''The democratic lead
ers in congress and the administra-
ton are trying to come to an under
standing as to the policy of the next
congress by which they can avoid
the danger of split in the party On
the money question and secure unit
ed action on several important ques-
tions which will present themselves.
1t is believed by those who have
been most active in the matter that
an agreement will be reached on the
much dreaded money question. In
fact, the programme of the congress
has been laid out with considerable
detail and great hopes are entertain
ed that the administration and con
gress will dwell together in harm ony.
1t is the present understanding
that a compromise proposition to
dispose of the silver question by &C
companying the repeal of the Sher
man law with the repepl OF the 10
per cent tax on state bank currency
will receive the sanction of the ad-
ministration, and that the men in
congress who are fighting against
any contraction of the currency will
be satisfied to let go of silver if they
can get the state currency.
1t is designed also to levy an in
come tax, and it is believed that Mr..
Cleveland will favor this. Briefly,
there are four things which it is the
desire of the party leaders that the
coming congress should dispose of
as speedily as possible, and it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Cleveland will dwell
upon all of them in the first message.
They are the repeal of the federal
election laws, the levy of an income
tax, the repeal of the Sherman law
and of the tax on state bank curren-
cy and complete revision of the tariff,
making a decided reduction of duties
all along the line
The Butler weekly times., 1893-05-18
ITS DUTY PLAIN.

The democratic party was placed
In power on distinct and we'll detin-
ed issues. There was some division
of the party on the money question.
What would please the south and
west would not please the east and
north. SO the financial question
was by common consent left in
status quo. For the same reason
the republican party could no more
afford to take a positive stand than
the democratic party. So it was
witL a number of other questions
more or less sectional.
But the great issue i'll which the
people are deeply interested, the
tariff, was made the leading one III
the campaign. There was no uncer-
tainty as to the democratic idea on
this issue. The national convention
in adopting it's platform rejected a
straddle and double meaning plank,
and spoke in no uncertain language
when it said: "We declare it to be
a fundamental principle of the dem
ocratic party that the federal gov
ernment has no constitutional pow
er to impose and collect tariff duties
except for the purposes of revenue
only and we demand that the collec
ton of such taxes shall be limited
to the necessities of the government
whec honestly and economically ad-
ministered - That was the issue up
On which the great political battle
of 1892 was fought and won. It
has made the course of democratic
congress plain. 1t has a great duty
to perform and is instructed in no
uncertain language just how to per-
form it If it does this and relieves
the burdens of an oyer-taxed people,
then its lease of power will be indef-
mite. Never did a congress meet
with a clearer expression of the will
of the people for its guidance.

Commissioner Lochren Takes an I'M
portant Step in that Direction.
Washington, D. c., May 13.-An
important order revoking the cele-
brated "completed files order of ex-
Commissioner Raum has been issued
by Commissioner Lochren. The or
der says that hereafter all pending
claims in each class will he taken up
for consideration in the order in
which the considered evidence is FL
ed the object aimed at being a prac
tical return to the method in vogue
prior to 1889. Whenever any evil
dence shall be received in any case,
such evidence will be strapped to
the case and the file card will be at
once placed at the top of the file box
of the examiner in whose charge the
case may be. Whenever any exam
iner shall have disposed of all tn e
cases Oh his desk additional cases
presented by the file cards at the
bottom of such examiners file box
shall be placed on his desk for con
sideration and action, and the prop
er call for evidence shall be made, or
pending inquiries answered, or the
case, if found to be complete, shall
at once be submitted to the board
of Review for final adjudication.
1t is calculated that under the
new administration a check is going
to be given to the rapid growth of
the pension list even without the as
sistance of any legislation. When
the pension appropriation bill was
passed at the last session of congress
it was expected that the amount ap-
propriated would be about S15,OO0,-
900 short of the expenditures for
this fiscal year. 1t was anticipated
that deficiency of that amount
would have to be provided for at the
comirg session. The average mum
Der of original pension cases passed
on each month is expected, however,
to be but about one third what it
was under the former administra
tion of the office and instead of q de
ficiency there will be suplus of
about S6,OOO,OOO

a HORRIBLE CASUALTY.
Molten Zinc Poured Upon II Workman
IN Il Smelter

Molten Zinc Poured Upon II Workman
III Il Smelter.
Nevada, Mo, May 13.-One of
those awful accidents which, it seems
the most careful forethought cannot
always prevent occurred at the Ian
yon smelter at 4 o'clock this morning
While drawing a pot of metal at
block No. 8, the huge ladel, contain
ing l25 pounds of zinc prematurely
overturned, spilling about Is pounds
of its molten contents upon Charles
Marmont. The molten stream struck
him fairly up on the chest just below
the throat and deluged the entire
front of his person, the white hiss
ing fluid burning its way through
the quivering flesh and along every
inch of his body from his throat to
his thighs His breast. arms and
abdomen were literally cooked aud
along his limbs great flakes of
flesh were burned to a crisp from
his thighs to his feet. The poor
fellows body presented distressing
sight. The light clothing that he
had worn hung in cnarred remnants
only half concealing the burned and
trembling flesh beneath. All of the
skin upon the breast, arms and alb.
domen swelled in livid streaks or
stood in crisp little rolls, where the
fiery torrent had burned its course.
In hundreds of places the burning
metal had burrowed into the flesh
like red hot knife blades and cooled
there and long spikes of zinc were
Embedded in charred flesh. The
doctor picked out hundred or more
such pieces. Marmont is single and
about 80 years of age. He cannot
recover.

CIRCUS DAY.

gregation Almost Here.
"Are you going to the circus?' is
the question that everybody is asking
everybody else these days; and the
answer is invariably in the afiirma-
tive. No circus aggregation that
ever visited Butler ever aroused the
preliminary enthusiasm that has
marked the announcement that the
Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows would exhibit in this place
May "a.
In view of the fact that this won-
derful geological ethnologic, arenic,
equine and hippodromic exhibition
is the largest tented amusement in
the world-that it employs more
people, runs more trains, has more
horses, elephants, camels and wild
animals, and exhibits under the larg.
est tents ever constructed-this
feeling of enthusiastic anticipation
can be easily understood. We sug-
gest to rural people the advisability
OF getting to town as early as posi-
BILE, so as not to miss the grand
street procession, which moves

provide an exclusive room for ladies.
The present arrangement of one big
barn of room with crib office in
the center, no storm windows or storm
doors, with no separate apartment for
ladies and children, is not justice to
the travelling public. 1t would not be
very much expense to make needed
changes, and anyone who has to wait
for a train can realize how necessary
a ladies' private waiting room is.
Take it some nights and with crowd
of men smoking, many not over clean
and probahhil;; half drunken loafers,

Nothing elaborate or expensive is
asked for or expected, but the present
arrangement is not what the public
have a right to demand, nor is it
creditable to the company.

from 81 to $3.50 takes cord of dry

the broad axe type in the dry goods
and grocery stores for use in slashing
prices for cash customers, and ma
chine men are almost paying farmers
to haul goods away, if they have the
ducats to purchase with. Farmers
from long distances are catching on
to the fact that Morris is in it this
fall and that there is a broad margin
of profit in coming here to trade, and
while our business men may be doing
business on small margins they are
increasing their volume of trade, and
the farmer being materially bene=
flied as a result. Let us once get
trading down to q strictly cash basis
and it will spur up competition to the
top notch and the times will be i'm
proved to an amazing degree.
