A Noted Man pead.

Thomas NJ Marshall Esq, the noted
LAWYER. died at his home in Allegheny
city on Tuesday night last, Oct p. Is
9S. Mr. Marshall was born in Ireland,
Nov 20, 1919, and therefore was within
n few days of being 20 years of age.
Few men outside of our county were
better known or had more friends in But
Ter county than Thomas NJ. Marshall.
His early days were spent in what Is
now Penn twp, this county and he fire.
quently visited his old home and often
appeared in our Courts and at Our polit-
ical meetings The late Judge Samuel
Marshall. the late David Marshall Esq.
of Prospect and the late William Mar
shall of Penn twp. were all older broth
ers of Thomas and all have descendants
living among us The late Mrs. Mary
Brown of near Brownsville, and mother
of the distinguished attorney A NJ.
Brown, of Pittsburg, and of Ex. Sheriff
William NJ Brown. of this county was
sister He has other relatives within
our county.
Thomas NJ Marshall was man of
very decided force of character. As
a speaker he was eloquent and perfectly
fearless in the expression of his opinions.
A bout the first acquaintance of the
writer of this with him was in the
Presidential election of 1914, when he
came to Butler to speak in behalf OF the
then antislavery candidate for Presi-
dent. James G. Birney. The fire and
vlgor he displayed then he maintained
all through his successful career and
was the main cause of his success as a
lawyer. Only since about February
last did he cease practicing and his
death is stated to have apparently come
from age and the end peaceful and
painless. He leaves five children two
of his sons following him in the prac-
tic of the law in Pittsburg. His many
friends here regret to hear of his death.

POLITICAL.

According to number of our es-
teemed contemporaries in the Twenty
seventh Congressional district. there is
a wonderful demand for Joe Sibley to
serve as their representative. How
this demand has been created is not
entirely clear. The Hon. Joseph Sibley
has demonstrated to the satisfaction of
all who believe in a sound currency and
protection, and who do not admire
pompous self-laudation or sanctimony,
that he is, point device, The very man
of all men who should not be in Con-
gress.
Although Judge Simonton, of Harris
burg, has decided that the renomina-
ton of Congressman Butler, of the
Chester Delaware district, is invalid on
account of the fact that only q portion
of the Delaware county delegates were
present at the convention, Butler de
clares he will run on his nomination
papers, as he did two years ago when
he was elected. Jack Robinson, who
has passed much of his time at Wash
ington since he was out of Congress-
has all along informed his constituents
that he would be an independant candi-
date. Republicans of the Sixth district
say it will be closer race between But
Ter and Robinson than it was two years
ago but that the party split will not
elect Democrat.
Hon. j, B. Showalter spoke at the
meeting in New Castle. Friday evening,

MANY important matters will be be
fore our next Legislature and it is inn
portant that we have good reliable men
to represent Cs. Hon James n
Moore and Hon John Dindiuger have
been tried, did good service and were
true to the interests of their constitu-
ents. and with their experience in legis-
lative work will be much more able
than heretofore to render good service
in the next Legislature.
Let all who desire experienced and
honest representation in the halls of
legislation vote for Moore and Dindin-
