POLITICAL.

The Westmoreland-Butle Congress

again today.
State politics took humorous turn,
last week, when both Quay and H w.
Oliver wired from Florida denials OF the

Senator William Finn has retired
permanently from politics. In state
ment issued few days ago he announc-
ed that he had taken this step and that
in the future his entire time would be
devoted to his extensive business inter
ests. His action came in the nature of
complete surprise TO those who nave
not been in touch with the drift OF poll
tical affairs. His announcement ex-
plains the extent to which he has gone
to make his action final. which is that
he has not only severed all connection
with local politics by resigning from the
Republican City Executive committee
and the Republican County Executive
committee, but that he has also resign
ed his seat in the upper branch OF the
State Legislature.

Republican State Convention is TO go

not friendly to Attorney General John
P. Elkin. But the Organization does
not know to whom its kindness shall be
given. 1t has not the vaguest idea how
much of its corporate body remains or
how soon what little life remains will
be knocked out. Its members are ad-
mitting that it cannot deal because 1t
has nothing to offer better than the
statistics of the last city election, which
showed that with more votes than 1t
ever had before it is loser. Dispatch.

last Saturday after a three weeks so

party of dozen or more local Republi-

BAR MEETING

Monday afternoon meeting of the
Bar was called TO pay trlbute 10 the
memory of the late Judge Daniel Agnew
Remarks were made by J H. Negley
J. NJ. Thompson, Lev McQnistion and
the Court. Attorneys J. II. Neeley, L..
| NJ. Wise, c. G. Christie, Samuel Walker
and 4. c. Troutman were appointed q
| committee to draft suitable resolutions,
| copy OF which was ordered SEM 70 the
family of the deceased jurist.
The resolutions were as follows:
That tis with sincere regret we have
learned Of the death Of Judge Aguew,
who presided over the Courts of our
| County for q period of twelve years, to
| wit, from 1851 to 1868 to the great salts
| faction of our people. On the death OF
| the then Judge. Hon John Bredin in
May 1851, Judge Agnew was appointed
as his successor in the district of
Beaver, Butler, Mercer and Lawrence
counties and was elected in the fall of
the same year for term of ten years.
being the first Judge elected by popular
vote, the law having been previously
changed requiring all Judges to be
elected by the people.
That his services upon the Bench in
this county were characterized by en-
inent ability, were highly appreciated
and are yet referred to and recalled with
praise by all who remember them.
That the later services { Judge
Agnew to his State and country. as a
member of the Supreme Court OF the
State, were eminently able. wise and
patriotic and entitle his name to the
lasting gratitude and honor of all
citizens
That the personal, the moral character
of Judge Agnew was also Of the highest
and best type. If model Judge he
was no less model man. living pure
life all his days, above suspicion and
| above even the appearance of evil, his
| integrity never questioned and his word
| never doubted.
be was also warm and tender heart
| ed man, an evidence Of which is recalled
on the occasion of the death of the late
j. Graham Esq, in 1860, at meeting Of
the Bar then held. Judge Agnew, in ad
dressing the members was overcome by
his emotions. He was also very
scholarly, well read man Shortly
after his becoming Judge here he was
invited by the members of the Bar 10
deliver o lecture and his subject was
Poetry which he treated to the inter
est and amusement Of all his many
listeners
That his death at the great age of 90
years bears evidence Of the correctness
of his life and points to him as an ex.
ample worthy for all imitation. II was
of such righteous man as he that the
friend of job foretold when he said.
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full
| age. like as shock of corn cometh in
in his season.

DAMAGED BY SEA WATER.
Steel Rails Succumb Rapidly to Cor
rosion In the Tropics Near
the Sea.

Mr.. Bricks, one of the engineers in
charge of the railroads owned by the
French government, recently read u
paper in which he said that sea wa.
ter, particularly in tropical coun-
tries, has a very destructive influence
on steel rails. A few weeks ago the
same observation was made by Mr.
Delprat, the engineer in charge of
the Dutch railroad in Sumatra
This gentleman says that the short
railroad at Port Emma, on the coast
of Sumatra, which has been in opera
ton for ten years, and which occu-
pies position only a little above
mean high tide, has been greatly
damaged by sea water, the rails hav-
ing been largely eaten away by rust.
The rails on one of the shorter
branches of this road. which runs
over brcakwater, have been dimin-
ished in weight by about two and a
half pounds for every three and a
half feet of the length of the rails.
lie says that every year these rails
are losing about four per cent. Of
the weight of new rails. The width
Of the rail surface has been dimin-
ishcd about one inch.

LICENSES FOR GALS.
Authorities Of berlin, Germany Inn
pose Restrictions ON the
Feline Tribe,

It has recently been discovered that
there are about 10000 cats In Berlin,
and, full Of their knowledge, the Ger
man Society for the Protection Of
Animals, has conceived a thoroughly
Teutonic idea, says Berlin corre-
spondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
According to its carefully conceived
plan, the town council Of the city is
to take the matter in hand, and to
issue licenses for cats, just as they
do for dogs.
Cats are only to perambulate the
city when wearing their authorized
little badges, hanging, locketlike,
from their Threats. There is nothing
in principle to be said against the
issue of the licenses but what puz-
zles reasonable people is the list Of
penalties that these ingenious people
have drawn up. The owner Of a cat
is to be fined if the latter "be found
wandering in the public gardens Of the
city; or if the birth of kitten, or lit
ter of kittens, be not purctually re-
ported to the authorities; or, if
citizens pet is discovered proving
about the streets without its distinc-
tive official badge, etc" This word
"etc." sticks in ones throat, after the
enumeration of the previous offenses.
