in session in Pitteburg this week, bids fair to break up in a row, all on account of politics. A certain element wants to commit the Union to the Third Party; another element, which embraces 8 majority of members, very wisely opposes the proposed suicidal movement. Hence, trouble. A terrible railroad accident occurred on the Lehigh Valley road Wednerday night, by which some 80 persons were killed, and 150 Injured. It was an excursion attending a Catholio celebration at Hazelton, One section of the train ran into another section, which had stopped on a curve, The people were from Luzerno and Lackawanna counties.

David Kamerer, of Delaware aged about 70 yeure. While attending the funeral of his brother a short time since, he was taken seriously 111 during the servicea, and never rallied so that he could be removed to his own home in Delaware tp. Decen8ed was A11 upright. Christian man, and had been IL life- long member of the Lutheran Church. For 26 years, since its organization, in fact, --he had been Secretary of the Pymatuning Mutuni Fire Insurance Company, and was only recently succeeded in the office by 1118 son, D.

L. Kamerer. No business was ever more conscientiously attended, to than was this Compauy's by David Kamerer. His epitaph may truthfully be, "Here lies an honest man." Consistenoy, Because Dre. J.

Ellen Foster, one of the foremost workers in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, is thought by Mrs. Macchett, and a few ether local members of the Prohibition party, to be in the pay of the Repulican party, the Prohibitionists did not attend her ture in the First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, Wednesday eyening. They went to Lafayette Hall and heard Rev. Sam, Small adyocate Prohibition, et simple. The Prohibitionists of both sexes are about equally consistent.

Anything in the interest of their party and the Democratic party is all right anywhere and under all circumstances; it is only the Republican party that is bud. Can such narrowness thriye long? Important to Sohool Directors. Dr. Higbee, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has given an official construction to the law governing School Directors in the holding and disposal of school funds and property. 'The question which has called forth this opinion was the leasing of a school building in Pittsburg by the School Board of that city to Catholic priests, to be used for parochial school purposes.

The decision of Dr. Higbee declares such action illegal. All school funds and property are held in trust by School Dircetors for the use of public schools, to which all children have access, and not for private or parochial schools. Directors have DO right to grant specinl concessions to any class or creed. Examine Your Tiokot.

Chairman Cooper calls attention to errors in printing the name of the Republican candidate for Auditor General, The name is spelled correctly in the tickot at the head of our editorial column.

Another Pioneer at the pioneer guard of Greenville and taken from its tanks one of its oldest, beetknown and most-respected members, thus severing another link in the golden chain of memorles binding the present to the ever -Interesting and historic past. After a lingering Illness of several months' duration, William Perry na closed his eyes in the eleep of death on Saturday, Oct. 6, 1888, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, aged 73 years, 4 months and 27 days. The Immediate cause of his death was combination of heart disease and congestion of the lunge, though he had been in falling health for more than a year prior to his fatal 111- ness. He was born at Carlisle, Cumberland May 7, 1815.

His father. Juo. C. ilanna, was a natige of County Donegal, Ireland, and emigrated to the United States in carly where he met and married Hannah Smith, also a native of the Emerald late. Willinm P.

was thus of pure Celtic stock, and inherited many of the characterletice of that remarkable race. His parenta resided euccessively in Cumberland and Allegheny counties, and removed to the borough of Mercer in 1822. They had then a family of three sons and three daughtera, Robert, John Mary Sarah Nancy and William P. Sarah died at Mercer the year following their settlement. Our subject received his edwent ion in the pioneer schools of Mercer, and in 1833 came to Greenville to lenrn the chaw-maker's trade in his brother Robert's factory, which stood 011 the southeast corner of 'Third and Main west of the river.

however, did not like the business, having had from early youth aL strong, natural inclination for drawing and painting. Following this penchant he quit his trade and engaged in house and sign painting, also indulgfing in his natural though uncultivated tuste for drawing and portrait paluting whenever the opportunity offered. In his late home are a few specimens of his brush, which he took pleasure In exhibiting to his friende. His mother died at Mercor Oct. 21st, 1814, in her 05th year, and his fathor then came to Greenyille and made his home with his children until his death, June 16, 1846, aged 72.

From early manhood Win. P. was the mainstay of In their declining years. Ilis brother his parents, and their principal support Robert aud sistere Mary and Nancy died 1o Greenville, while John S. emigrated to Baltimore, and is supposed to have died there.

Politically, Mr. Hauna was a staunch, unswerving Democrat, and faithfully believed in aud advocated the principles of hie party. Through the influence of lion. M. C.

Trout he was appointed by President Polk Postmaster at Greenville, Dec. 29, 1840, and served until May, 1849, when the administration of Presldent Taylor having come futo power he was relieved from oflice. He then fol-, lowed painting until June 6, 1853, when he was again appointed to the postmas-1 tership by President Pierce, and reappointed by President Buchanan In 1857. Soon after Abraham Lincoln succeeded to the Presidency. Mr.

Hanna was replaced by William Keck, a supporter of a The Angel of Death has again visited the new administration. In May, 1861, immediately after leaving the poatuffice, he established the Union -the first Democratic paper published at Greenville. He continued the publication of the Democrat under trying difficulties until the nutumn 1864, when the business proving unprofitable he sold the office to W. F. Chalfant, of the Argus, and retired from the newspaper fold, He eyer afterwarde, however, retained 8 love for newspaper work, and contributed many valuabie articles to the local press.

He Was also one of the best and moet rellable authorities on locul history in ville, and his extensive memory presoryed for the historian a muss of valuable information on the early history of the town that but for him would have been lost 'mid the rubbish of forgotten things. After selling the Democrat Mr. Ilanna opened a news and book store, which he disposed of in 1865 to Conrad Bittenbanver, and subaquently spent a few months in West Virginia. Roturning to ville he again entered the book and news business, which he carried on till burned out by the Are of January, 1871. lie did not eugage In business after this event, but in 1874 he was elected Justico of the Peace, and served tire April 11, 1878.

Mr. Hanna WAB married October 13, 1859, to Miss Lizzie, daughter of Mosee and Lather Blair, or Crawford who has borne hun two children- -Lizzie, wife of Lewis Klein, and Wm. now in the government mall service. His homo life was strongly marked with the Christian virtues of love and kindness, and the deep affection existing between him and the members of his household W18 an example worthy of imitation. For many years ho had been consistent member of the M.

E. Church, and died strengthend and eolaced by the teachings of his faith. Mr. Hanna was generous and ble beyond his means, and could not pass by a case of suffering or need without extending consolation and 8 helping band. Ever true to his friends, he had few it any enewlea, and was always courteous to friend and stranger allke.

He possessed a modest, unassuming, obliging disposition, and was veyer 80 happy when doing a favor or granting a re- quest. His thorough distaste of ostenta- tion, and strong love for nis fellowmen, were vividly Illustrated by his dying injunctions. de requested that big funeral should be a simple one, devoid of show. and that the services should be conducted at the residence. Said ho to his pastor: "Say nothing about mo ur my life, but try and say something that may And lodging place in the hourt of some friend Here WAR an example of unselfishness and Christian charity worthy of perpetuation in the pages of history.

Judged from the world's standpoint the life of William P. Hanna was success; for he lacked that aggressive, sordid, grasping spirit largely necessary to the accumulation of riches. But judging him from the plattorin of ian manhood, we belleve his pure unseltieh life, and straightforward, honest character have won for him the priceless crown of Immortality. Sulty Sentenons (Mercor The Court frat gavo nttention to those guilty of violating the leonse law. In respect to these he enid in the past ho had been n8 lenient with such enaea n8 he could justly be, and especially eo since the pasenge of the Brooks licenso law, until the people would got to understand its provisions.

Besides the length of imprisonment being kept at the minimum he had been committing to the county Jail, in hope that the effect might be to deter violatora without in. flicting the severer peunities of the law. This he discovered to be of no avail, and hence he had determined elnce the last session of court that future violators must suffer the extreme. The prisonera were directed to stand up. In the ease of Mr.

Burke the Court stated that hie manner of violation was very dangerous, that of acting as agent for a Arm in another State and from which this county W218 liable to suffer seyerely. Since this was his frat offence his sontence was made lightor than It would otherwise have been. It Was that he pay the costs of prosocution, a fine of $500, and undergo an imprisonment In the Allegheny County Workhouse of ninety days. Stemler's sentence wris tho same. Mra.

Fell Betwoen Two Hon. James R. Burns, Mr. Scott'a political hired man, was diecharged from the faculty of the Erie High School after a bitter fight in a school directors' mootlug. He had left his place and begun bile canvass to succeed Scott in Congress, after the Democratic City Committee had assured him that the school board wus fixed to give him a vacation, with pay.

He did not even notify the suporintendent of schools or the school bourd of his departure. His nction raised a storm of publie Indignation, which scared some Democratic school directors away from the meeting and frightened others to vote with the Republicaus. Sound on Ponsione. The following shows plain enough where Capt. C.

C. Townsend, our candidate for Congress, stands on the grantof pensions to Union soldiers. In a recent interview be said: "As for penslons, my own experience In tho rebellion la that there were some things endured which no money payment can ever compensate for. Some soldiers suffered beyond the question even of gold or silyer. I do not believe in extravagance, yet I hold that no aoldler of the rebellion should evor be permitted to want by the Government.

We owe the Union soldiers of the civil war a debt for all time.33 Loyal to the Old Flag, The funeral of the late Henry Raffer- ty, of the Third Ward, took place yesterday under the auspices of Maye Post, G.

In the election to be held next month, therefore, those voters who are now twenty-ono, twenty-two, twentythree or twenty-four year old will cast their first.

Presidential vote. How many of these men ure there, and what are their political affiliations Thie ie A question of the higheet importance. Let 118 see if we can do something toward the anawering of it. that out of a total voting population of It wAs shown by tho census ot 1880 8,270,518 of male citizens born in the UniStates no less than 1,547,703, nearly 19 per were 21, 22, 23 and 24 yeara of age. This year it is fair to catimate that the voting population of white male and citizens la something over 10.000,000, that of those about 2,000,000 will chat, or ought to cast, their frat Preetdential vote this year.

Of these About: 1.300,000, it le safe to nssort, roalde States that stood for the Union in the war of the rebellion. Now, it la porfectly obvious that this million and a third, or thereabouts, of new voters hold the future of this try in their bands. Notwithstanding all the changes that occur from year to year thoso who have voted the Ropublican ticket before will do 80 again, and go will those who vote tho Democratio ticket. There are changes among these old voters, to bo sure, and Ropublicans bollevo that what changes there are are mainly in their direction; but leaving these out of' account, the new votera hold the ular balnnce of power. In 1884 the popvote was: For Cleveland, Blaine, a difference of leas than 63,000.

Now, how are tho 1,300,000 new votera in the Northorn States going this timo? If we can And out, then wo shall know how the election is going. In order to determine this Important fact several thinga manat be taken Into consideration. The war closed in 1866. No man who was born since then voted in the olootion of 1884. The new crop of voters consists almost ontirely of mon who were born since then.

But who are the men in the Northern Statca who have been born since 1805? Is It not safe to say that half a million of them are 80H8 of those who fought for the Union in the war? Tbeso sous of vetorans bavo not had a chance to vote before. They will vote this year. Ie there any doubt as to how the vast maJority of them will vote? Will they vote for the party that declared the war a fallure Will they voto for the man who has vetoed oyer 200 pension bills, with a sarcasm or sneer in almost overy veto mossage!
