A Word from Gen. Negley.
New YORK, Nav II, 1900.

NEW IOlSh3 MAY rs low.
VIM. C. Negley, Esq, Butler, Pa.
My dear Cousin:-I observe in the
colnmns of "THE CITIZEN" that prep
arations are now in pro gress to cele-
brate in a fitting manner the historical
birth of Butler County.
Happily it is an auspicious moment
to meet and pass in review incidents
connected with one of the important
geographical divisions of the great
State of Pennsylvania.
The patriotic, intellectual and politi-
cal forces which have developed in a
marvellous degree not only the re sour
ces, but all other material interests, of
every portion of our wide domain, con.
tributing thereby to the repose and
solidity of the Union, furnishes deeply
interesting themes for the orators who
will speak at your celebration. They
will doubtless recall precious remem-
brances, pathetic dramas and old pages
Of story unknown to younger genera
tions
At no other period in the worlds his
tory has any nation been so enriched by
the arts, and the beneficent contribu
tions from the students of science.
am greatly pleased to see that the
citizen soldiery who enlisted from
your county will not be overlooked
and that tribute to their services and
memories will be bestowed by our old
comrade, General Blakely.
Hoping that the Centennial celebra
ton will faithfully represent the energy y
and commercial activities of you
county,
i have the honor to be,
Yours very truly,
JAS. s. NEGLEY.

Railroad Notes.

The revised plans for the new Union
station, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
are about completed They provide tor
a structure l stories high, 352 feet long
and 115 feet wide, the ground space be
ing four times greater than that OF the
present station. The building will be
of steel frame. 1t Will be one OF the
handsomest structures in Pittsburg
There is little to indicate that 1t Is
railroad station The windows VIII be
large, and those of several of the upper
stories will be arched with heavy stone
masonry. The cornice will be elabor-
ate. and of terra Gotta. The trimmings
of the building will be of the same ma
terial The material for the construc-
ton of the exterior walls of the station
will be a dark buff brick of high quail
ty. The general appearance of the
station is that of a handsome office
building.
It was officially announced in Du
Bois. last Friday, by President Yates, OF
Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburg Rail
! way. that that place had been selected
for the building of their immense new
| locomotive repair shops. President
| Yates and other officials looked ovel
the site. stating that the new works
will. together with necessary sidings
cover 20 acres. and cost at least $500, 600
Approximately 1000 men will be EN-
| ployed, it being the intention of the
company to concentrate all work OF the
kind at that place and construct shop'
which will have all the facilities fol
handling repairs of the heaviest nature
The shops at Rochester, n. Y. anc
Bradford will be abandoned, and the
greater PERCENTAGE of the men now EN-
ployed at these points will, together
| with their families, move 10 Du Bols.

A Peculiar Law Case.

Monroe county has case for court
without parallel in the Jurisprudence
of Pennsylvania. 1t is a suit entered
by brewing company against cler-
gyman for damages. The Clergyman
prayed for disaster to befall new brew
cry erected by the company, the brew
cry was struck by lightning and now
the company seeks to collect damages
from the preacher.
The case presents difficulties. The
court may be compelled to rule upon
the question whether the responsibility
shall be solely upon the clergyman, or
partly upon Providence; also whether
damages may be awarded against the
latter. The brewing company, as pros
ecutor, will have some difficulty in
proving that the prayer had anything to
do with the disaster. On the other
hand, the preacher must be in a guam
dary how to plead. If he denies all
share in the responsibilits he will prac-
tically repudiate the efficacy of prayer
in bringing Divine wrath down upon
breweries, while if he asserts the eff
cacy of prayer he must tacitly admit a
share of responsibility for infiicting the
damages complained of.
When this case is called at Strouds
burg it should afford more than ordinary
entertainment for the legal fraternity
There are more than merely legal points
involved.

Gov. Taylor

On Tuesday, Gov. Taylor of Kentucky
was in Indianapolis, Ind, and was
quoted as follows
Il went into the courts of Franklin
county and tried to find out if there was
an Indictment against me, but they
would not tell me. Now / will await
developments. / expect to remain here
or go to some quiet resort in Indiana
and remain there until the National Re-
publican convention.
1T is an awful thing to be an exile
from the place Of my birth, from the
State that honored me with its highest
Office and from my wife and children.
Yet know that my return to Kentucky
would mean that would be incarcer-
ated with no chance of bail, or exposed
to assassins who have awaited an oppor-
| tunity to wreak vengeance on me. |
| cannot say that / will or will not be a
candidate for governor of Kentucky
| this Fall. The party has insisted that
| be nominated, but fail to see how
| could make canvass, or, in the event
of election, what good could come of it. y

That Old Stage There.

(The following was written by Alex Nj.
Hays of jefferson twp. i'll 81 on
viewing an old stage coach un-
der stable shed.)
1t stands in stable yard, under the
caves,
Leaning to one side and covered with
leaves
1t was once the pride of the gay and the
fair,
But it has now gone to ruin, that old
stage there.
It's battered and tattered it little
avails
That once it was vanished and glisten
ed with nails;
The varnish is now cracked, both
crooked and square,
Like canvas on top of that old stage
there.
See, here is the thorough brace, and
here is the place
For the pole for the horses, but gone is
their race.
1t was cushioned with plush, it was
wadded with hair,
As the birds have discovered in that
old stage there.
1t was built in Troy; here under the
Is nest full of eggs-'tis the favorite
retreat
Of the old speckeled hen, who has
Matched, l dare swear,
Quite an army of chicks in tnat old
stage there.
| remember when drove it on the old
Butler plank road
The elite of Butler was mostly it's
load
II was also loaded with Uncle Sans
mail-a goodly share.
The people in Butler always welcomed
that old stage there.
OH the scandals it knows; OH the tales
it could tell.
| OF the young and the old, the rake and
the belle.
But those tales Of the times apt to raise
up the hair,
Will ne'er be revealed by that old stage
there.
But here is a thing | will say as / go,
That old stage deserves n better fate
than stable yard though.
! 1t should be painted and varnisned with
| the greatest of care,
! And sent to fine art museum that old
| stage there.
But | suppose it will stand there as the
years roll around
A home for the fowls and the birds of
the air;
But the memory of the time that drove
it in my youthful days,
] Will 1lwg-G cling that old stage
there.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
POLITICAL

At the Republican Congressional Con-
ference in Beaver last Thursday, ). A.
Stone of Beaver acted as Chairman, and
the delegates ballotted all afternoon and
evening, the last or 46th ballot standing
CUNNINGHAM of Beaver 16, Brown OF
Lawrence 16, Robinson of Mercer 10,
and Showalter of Butler 13.
On Friday 81 more ballots were taken
making 73 in all, without making a
nomination, and then the convention
adjourned to meet in the Court House
in New Castle at p. m. of next Mon
day. During the day Butler and Law
renee counties seemed to be working
together and the nomination OF either
Brown of New Castle or Cunningham
of Beaver was predicted.
At New Castle last Friday DR.. Pillow
and Col. jackson were selected as dele
gates to the National Convention.
On Friday last, Gov. Smith of Mon
tana, got home and appointed Martin
Maginnis to fill the seat in the U. >.
Senate made vacant by the resignation
of Clark, in spite of the fact that Lieut..
Gov. Spriggs had already appointed
Clark; and this makes mix-up that
the Senate will probably not bother
with during this session.
At the Armstrong Co. Democratic
Convention, Monday, Sheriff Gallagher
was named for State Senate; Joel Craw-
ford, one of the Republican nominees
for Assembly, was endorsed. 1t is said
to be Armstrong Co.'S turn to have the

WASHINGTON NOTES.

On Monday, the U. S. Supreme Court
decreed the Kentucky governorshlp con
test in favor of Beckham, the Demo
cratic claimant, thus affirming the de
cision of the Kentucky Court OF Ap-
peals. The opinion, which was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller, was dis
sented from by Justices Brewer, Harlan,
Brown and McKenna, SO that the de
cision was rendered by only one MAORI
ty of the bench.
In the opinion Justice Fuller said that
the case was dismissed for want of Jur-
isdiction. He said the court should be
the last to overstep the bounds limiting
its own jurisdiction and that the de-
termination of cases of this character,
contests for state Office, must necessari-
ly be settled by the political branch OF
the government. That branch had act
ed in the Kentucky case when the Gen
eral Assembly took jurisdiction. There
was no appeal from the Assemblys de
cision, which was favorable to Goebel
and Beckham, except to the tribunal OF
the people, which tribunal was always
in session. He also said the case was
purely State ease-that Kentucky was
in the full possession Of its faculties as
a member of the Union and that there
was no emergency at this time calling
for interference
On Tuesday the three Boer ENJOYS
visited the President. They presented
no credentials, and were informed that
this government could do nothing for
them.
