ing the men, and not the men the Of

putting II would have been to say that
the offices had to run almighty fast to
catch up with the men at all.
S. II. B. Smith, chairman of the city
committee. called the meeting to order
a little after O'Clock. He asked for
nominations for permanent chairman,
and James Thomson was chosen SO
quickly he didn't have a chance to de-
cline if he wanted to. On taking the
chair. Mr.. Thomson made a talk in
which he exnolled the principles Of
Populism and expressed his apprecia-
ton of the honor that had been thrust
upon him.
He then suggested the election of a
permanent secretary. L. Z. Hall NOM
mated Scott Anderson, and Mr.. Ander-
son was elected without opposition.
The first thing in order was the adop-
ton OF a platform Chairman Thorn

A Terrible Affair.

John Nelson of the S. S. Pittsburg,
Sup'dt of the Ihmsen Glass Co., was
terribly abused in the woods near Great
Belt, Wednesday, by some men, who
evidently mistook him for another man.
A Pittsburg paper gave the following
account of the affair: Mr.. Nelson left
Pittsburg Wednesday morning to visit
his brother-in-law, Joseph Stutz, a
farmer and owner of a number of oil
wells south of Great Belt. He was ac-
companied by his 5-year-old son. After
supper he started for an oil well to meet
his brother-in-law. He had to pass
through dense woods. AS he entered
he met three men attired in the garb of
oil well drillers They spoke to Nelson
who returned their salutation, passing
on. Just as he passed the men he was
knocked down by a heavy club and
rendered unconscious. While in this
state he was pounded with a sand-bag
and beaten terribly. Both arms were
broken, and one shoulder blade fractur-
ed. One heavy blow was on the skull
The assault occurred about $50 o'clock
and it was over half an hour before he
regained consciousness. Nelson crawl
ed $50 feet to drilling oil well, being
guided by the sound of the voices of %
people there and the noise of the drill
working. The injured man was taken
back to the house, and after the story of
the assault was learned a party of men
started out to run down the thugs.
Nelson had on his person over 5000
and gold watch, which were not dis
turbed."
Mr.. Nelson's wounds were dressed
and he was taken to Pittsburg hospital

Another "Boom" for Butler.

1t is not always your fussy fellows
who attain the greatest results-some-
times your quiet men get there first.
Butler is to have new and good in
dustry, and its locating here is due al
most entirely to the efforts of DR.. j. c.
Redick.
1t happened this way. Some months
ago DIR. Redick, while talking to his old
friend Mr.. DAVIS, in Pittsburg learned
from him that he intended re-entering
the business of manufacting whitehead,
and had organized a company for that
purpose. Mr.. Davis was the former
head of the Davis-Chambers White
lead Co, which sold out to the trust
some years ago, and he intended locating
his new plant in or about Pittsburg.
Mr.. Redick presented the advantages
of Butler for location, and made several
visits to Pittsburg to press them, and
induced Mr.. Davis to come and see the
town, and secured options on property
on both sides of the town, and with the
aid of Mr.. Ritts secured subscriptions
for 800, 900 of stock here; and finally
landed the concern. And the plans
have been made, and brick and iron and
stone contracted for. and the contract
for the work will probably be let dur
ing the latter part of this week or first
of next. for the company are anxious
to have the corroding hall under roof
within sixty days.
The Company preferred locating N
the West side of town, and five acres
were purchased at a reasonable rate
from Judge Brediu; and Chas. Duffy
donated five acres adjoining, upon
conditions. The property lies between
the Fair Grounds and the creek, and as
Negley Ave. was projected through 1t,
the Council at its meeting OF Monday
evening, vacated that part of the street,
and provided for an outlet to the Fair
Grounds on Willow street.
The plant will consist of two large
buildings--th factory S0x112 feet, and
four stories of brick; and the corroding
house 144x20S, one or two stories; and
several small bull ding The capital
stock is $400, 900, all subscribed.
Some of the parties interested are
Penn'a R. R men who guarantee that
the "Pennsy" will be run to the plant,
though whether it will get there by
connecting with the Bessie, by tun-
nelling under, or running through the
northern part of the town is not yet
known.
And since it has become known that
the whitehead company int end locating
here several other manufactu rers have
been looking at Butler; an iron man
was here Monday who said his freight
bills were now $780, a year, an ex-
pense that he wants to reduce, and a
glass man was also here-and if Butler
is not at the beginning of great
boom" that will fill our west side with
factories we are greatly mistaken.

The Dreyfus Verdict.

At Rennes, France, last Saturday,
Capt. Dreytus was again convicted by a
military court of crime of which the
civilized world believes him innocent
and sentenced to ten years inprison-
ment, his four years on Devils Island to
count as part of the sentence.
1t is believed, however, that the
French government will modify the SEN
tence, as the trial was travesty from
beginning to end.
The text of the Judgment was as fol-
lows: Today, the 9th of September,
1899, the court-martial of the Tenth
Region Army Corps, celebrating be-
hind closed doors, the president put the
following question;
rs Alfred Dreyfus, breyet captain,
Fourteenth regiment of artillery proba-
toner, on the general staff, guilty of
having in 1894 entered into macblna-
tions or held relations with foreign
power or one of its agents to induce it
to commit hostility or undertake war
against France, or procure it the means
therefor by delivering the notes and
documents mentioned in the documents
called the bordereau, according to the
decision of the court of cessation of
June 81, 1897
The votes were taken separately, be-
ginning by the inferior grade and
youngest in the last grade, the president
having given his opinion last. The
court declares on the question by ma
jority of five votes to two, Eyes, the ac-
cused is guilty" The majority agreed
that there are extenuating clrcumtances
in consequence of which, and on the re-
quest of the commissary of the govern
men,, the president put the question
and received again the votes in the
aforementioned form.
As result, the court condemns, By a
majority of FIVE votes to two, Alfred
Dreyfus to the punishment of ten years
detention.
There were pathetic scenes about the
courtroom, and disturbances in Rennes,
Paris, and other places when the verdict
became known, and the wave of in
dignation that spread over the entire
civilized world was illustrated by the
informal meeting of the most prominent
merchants in st. Louis held that after.
noon shortly after the Dreyfus decision
became known, when it was unanimous
ly agreed that not one of them would
attend the Pairs exposition nor make
an exhibit.

Extra Session Talk.

A special from Philadelphia to the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, OF yes
terday said: Ex-senator Quay is SAID
TO have learned through Senator Pen
rose Sunday night that the indications
are that the United States senate will
not admit him as member of that body
on the certificate issued by Gov. Stone.
1t is known that Senator Penrose has
been canvassing the members of the
United States senate to learn their atti-
tude toward the admission of'ex-Senator
Quay as the appointee OF Governor
Stone. 1t is said that Senator Penrose
was able to go over the situation with
ex-senator Quay, and the conclusion
they arrived at was that enough sena-
tors would not vote for the latter's ad-
mission unless they could be induced to
change their minds before the question
comes up in the senate.
The result was that the ex-senator de-
cided that it would be better to rely up
on an extra session of the legislature to
give him his old seat in the senate than
to go there with the governors appoint
ment and be rejected. 1t is, therefore,
believed that the Quay lieutenants will
be instructed 10 redouble their efforts to
induce ''insurgent" members of the leg
islature to pledge themselves to go into
a caucus of the Republican members of
the legislature to select candidate for
United States senator. The refusal of
the senate to seat Mr.. Quay would be
regarded as disastrous TO his leadership
and his chances of controlling the next
legislature, and the ex-senator is most
anxious now, it is said, to have the va
cancy filled by the present Legislature
called into extra session by the govern
or.
Ex-senator Quay is expected to take
charge of his own campaign, and incl
dentally to direct the campaign for the
Republican state ticket in manner that
will bring out the Republican vote, as
he considers that essential to his own
success The ex-senator will come to
Philadelphia often during the next six
weeks, and when he is not here he will
be in consultation with State Chairman
Reeder by long distant telephone, which
runs into his Lancaster county home.
The issuance of writ by Lieut-Gov.
Goblin to fill the vacancy in the senate
caused by the death of Col Hawkins, it
is believed, was done at the instance of
ex-senator Quay, who is counting on the
election of ia candidate who will vote for
him in an extra session.
OVER the wires went the news last
Saturday noon that Dreyfus had been
convicted-a fact that will cost France
millions of money and the respect of
