4 fti fllnnrnfielh Stmts. rs- eg Cg"" NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuesday, January 21, 1873. At a State temperance Convention hold in New Haven, Connecticut, it was claimed that the needed temperance legislation could not he claimed of either the Repub lican or Democratic party, and a full ticket for State officers was put in nomination, with Henry D. Smith, of Plainville, for Governor, and A. S. Beardsloy, of Plym outh, for Lieutenant Governor. A straight out temperance platform was adopted. Pnop. Howard W. Day, editor of Our . National Progretn, the organ of the colored Republicans of this State, has been ap pointed to a clerkship in the Auditor Gen eral's office. The white man who was re moved to make a vacancy for his "colored brother" is not pleased with the arrange ment. Gen. Camehon was nominated for re election as U. S. Senator ly the Ropuhli lican Legislative caucuson Tuesday evening. Four members voted for William D. Kelley, 2 for Prof. Wickersham, and 03 for Mr. Cameron. Tho nomination was then made unanimous. The election takes place on "Wednesday of this week. The House BilTj increasing the salary of the Governor to f 9,000, was amended by the Sonate who increased the pay to $ 10,000. The House concurred with the amendment, and so we will now have a $10,000 Governor, as tho bill has been ap proved by Governor Geary. 1 be bill was rushed through with (treat haste so that the law would be passed before General Uartranft was inaugurated, thereby giving him the benoQt of the added $15,000, during bis three years service. The Whnrton Poisoning Case Curious f atality Attending It. During the first trial of Mrs. Wharton two deaths occurred in tho families of those engaged in the case. And now during the second trial the Baltimore papors give the following particulars concerning Borae other deaths : " A ourious fatality seems to attend the Wharton case, as two more deaths have occurred in the families of thoso connected with it. Mr. John R. Arnold, who was one of the deputy sheriffs, and whose brother is one of the jurors in the Whartou case, was going to his home five miles from An napolis, after making return of the sum' mons that he had served, and was crossing the Severn river on tho ice, contrary to the advice of persons who had warned him that it was dangorous. when the ice broke and he was drowned. A number of United States midshipmen were on the ice skating, and one gallant young man named John C. Col well, at the risk of his own life, at tempted to rescue the drowning man. He caught Arnold by the hair of the head, and called to those near by to go and get ropes, Arnold seemed to fancy he could get out himself, and told his attempted rescuer to let go his hair, and began to struggle to be free himself. Col well stretched himself at full length on the ice and held on as long at he could, but the iee broke and he had to let Arnold go to save himself. He swam to the lartbcr side of tbe water ana was there pulled out and assisted to the Naval Academy. He was almost frozen, but by the aid of proper restoratives was soon well again. Arnold went down under the ice and it has been impossible to recover his body. Mr. Arnold was a clever, kindly man, and has left a wife and five children to struggle through life without him. Yes terday he was in tbe conrt room hale and hearty to-day his body lies in the bed of the river. His brother, Thomas H. Arnold who was the third juror empannoled in the Wharton case wished to-day to be excused from serving, but as this would complicate the 'case the Court very reluctantly de clined to release him. , "Wheu Attorney General Byester reach ed his home on Monday he found that his estimable mother-in-law, Mrs. Susan Har vey, bad died before bis arrival. Sue was seventy-nine years of age. and her death was caused by paralysis.' t2F"The express train from East Penn, Junction on last Friday morning, was stop ped by a trackman about one mile from Al len town, as the track was found to be sunk by the rains. The train passed safely over, and scarcely got out of sight when the ground suddenly sunk to the depth of fif teen feet, carrying with it the track and men, two of whom had their legs broken and were otherwise badly injured. Travel is not delayed, and the passenger trains run to each side of the wash, and change cart. - i ! i Attempt to Mnrdcr a Whole Family. One of the most vindictive attempts at wholesale murder lately chronicled occur red in the peaceful little village of Coey man't Landing, about twelve miles below the city of Albany, nearly resulting in the sending of eleven souls into eternity to gratify, if accounts are true, the disappoint ed spite of a scheming, revengeful step father. The circumstances and the sur roundings of the attempted tragedy are about as follows: For several years past, John Hazleton, a thrifty and industrious man, has resided with his wife, Martha, and family at the landing. His wife, it ap pears, has a stepfather named Elias Uought aling, who resides at Valatia, and who at first was much incensed when Martha ac cepted and married Hazlcton. Since then he has, at various times and on several occasions, expressed nis dissat isfaction at the match, and once or twice was even heard to utter threats against them both, expressing the desire to rid the earth of them, and that he would poison the entire family. The Hazletons are also connected with a man named John M'- Devitt and his wife Eliza, who resido in GreenbuBb, and visits between the two families have been frequently exchangod. To carry out this alleged threat, Hougtal ing sent, ou tho 80th of December, as a New Year's gift, a neat packago of tea and sugar from Albany, by a carrier named Halstead, and addressed it: "JohnHazle ton, Coeyman's Landing; from John and Eliza." The package was duly received and on New Year's day, when Mr. Hazleton nnd family were assembled at table eleven in .number, including four relatives on a visit tho tempting parcel was opened and tho contents partaken by all. But they had scarcely concluded the meal when every one was seized with violent spasms and vomiting, and, ou medical aid being sought, it was found that they bad been poisoned with arsenic. By strenuous mod ical exertions all were saved except the father and youngest child, who are both Btill dangerously sick. Mrs. Ilazloton's affidavit and other circumstances point distinctly to Iloughtaling as tho author of the hellish deed, and bo has been arrested to undergo an examination. Bold Dunk Robbery. One of tho boldest and most successful robberies we have ever heatd of was com mitted in broad daylight on Wednesday soon after mid-day, in the banking house of Stchman, Clarkson & Co., Lancaster. At the hour named two men entered tho bank, one of them having about $75 in gold and silver which he wanted to sell. Mr. Claskson, ono of tbe firui, was the only person present when the strangers entered the other' membors of tho firm and the clerks having gone to dinner. Mr. Clark- son at once proceeded to count the specie, the smaller of the strangers assisting him, while the other, who wore boots that creak ed very much, paced leisurely np and down tbe room. Before tbe specie had been all counted the "walking gentleman" left the room, and as soon as the counting had been finished and tho greenbacks paid in lieu of tho siiecio the other straugor also quietly left, leaving Mr. Clarkson in ignorance of the fact that be had been robbed of some $12,000 or $14,000 in bonds easily conver tible into money and some $50,000 or $00, 000 in judgment bonds and mortgages of which the robbers can mako no line. The robbers appear to have operated in the following manner: While one of them attracted Mr. Clarkson's attention by sell ing him tho specie, at the west end of the couutor, thus compelling him to keep his back towards the rear door of the bank, the man with tho creaking boots made as much noise as possiblo by walking up and down the Uoor, while an accomplice Boftly raised the sash of the rear door entered and crept quietly to the vault, which was open, and after having robbed it of tho bonds and mortgages above named, left by the same way he bad entorcd, and escaped through a back alley leading into Christian street. Tho stolen bonds were principally Uni ted States five-twenties and Northern Pa cillo railroad, and most of them belonged to depositors who had placed them there for safe keeping. The Ions to the bankers, it is thought, will not bo more than $1,700 they not being responsible for tho bonds deposited with them. KurprlHlug Sleigh Ride. A Brighton, Mass., man took a singular and perilous sleigh ride, the other day. A runaway ,norse came tearing around a corner, bringing the sleigh against the man in such a manner that he was thrown head foremost into tbe vehicle. The horse ran with tucb furious speed that the invol untary passenger in the tleigh, who wat at tempting to collect hit scattered senses, found it impossible to get out. In a few momenta, however, be was relieved of his embarrassment by a process as summary as that by which he fell into it. The horse in hit headlong career, d ashed the sleigh against a post, and the concussion tossed the single inside passenger Into tho air, but he fortunately alighted in a snow bank un harmed. IITOnthe 16th inst., Andrew Riley, Daniel Bland, John Marlon and Charles Wilson, convlctt escaped from Sing Sing prison, crossing the river on tbe ice. The day wat very foggy. Wilson wat recaptured. Killed by a Falling Tree. We are called npon to record another horrible accident, which occurred at Fair- point, on Chautauqua Lake, on the farm of Conductor Stevens, on Saturday after noon last. Mr. Stevens had some men em ployed foiling trees on his land near the road, when a man named Crane his wife and three children drove up in a cutter, opposite tbe spot where the men were at work, and stopped the horse, the workmen, as themselves supposing the tree, which was a very large one, would fall in the op posite direction from which it did. As the tree was nearly chopped off at the stump,it took a sudden plunge toward the road, and the loud cracking so frightened tbe horse that he would not move. Mr. Crane jump ing from the cutter, undertook to seize his wife and drag her out of the way, but in her fright she stopped boyond his reach in an opposite direction, the horse at the same time moving a little forward, so that the tree, as it fell, smashed the cutter, the three children in it, and Mrs. Crane, the latter standing by the cutter. Mr. Crone jumped to one side and thus saved his life, Mrs. Crane and the three,childron were in stantly killod. Thus, iu an instant, a man is bereft of his wifo and children. Mr Crane nnd tbe family resided near where the accidont occurred, and tho infliction visited upon him has slightly affected his reason. Romantic Robbery. Some months ago a young lady in Bridg port, Ct., lost some valuablo jewelry. A month or so since sho received a letter sta ting that it would be returned in as myste rious a manner as it bad disappeared. Ono morning last week, when tbe family arose, they observed that the blinds to one of tbe windows iu a room where plants are kept were closed, and, as they are rarely shut, the circumstance was all the more notice able The father opened tbe blinds, and whilo iu tho act of doing so discovered a small package which had been securely fas tened to them by some ono during tho night. He removed the package and upon opening it, after going to another room, it was found to contain the identical watch and jewelry. Tho mystery concerning the taking of tbo'propcrty, its return, and by whom it was done, is still as profound as over. A Panic in a Medical College. It has transpired that about two weeks ago a party of students belonging to one of the medical colleges at Cleveland, Ohio, whilo on a stiff raising expedition, exhum ed tho corpse of a victim of smali pox. The subject was carried to tho dissecting room, and there a number of students were exposed, without knowing it. The conta gion is more virulent just after death, and there was a decided panio in the institution on discovering the state of affairs. Tbe students loft for home precipitately, and at ono time it appeared as though tho col lege would be obliged to temporarily sus pend operations. Strong efforts were made to keep tho matter from public notoriety, but since two of tho embryo physicians have como down with the disease the truth leaked out. Tho young men who caught the disease have never been vaccinated. ' Fire at WrceuviHc, Pa. A despatch from Greenville, dated 1 o'clock on the 10th inst., says: An exten sive fire is now raging here. It commenced in the St. Charles Hotel, in the heart of the village, and several large buildings and mills are already destroyed. At midnight a geueral alarm was given, and Moadville Bent one of her fire companies by special train. The 11 io is Increasing. The loss cannot bo estimated at . j hour. A later dispatch from Creenviilo says: About thirty buildings have been burned down and the flames are still raging. The origin of the fire is unknown, and it is impossible to get any details of the disaster. Foreign Items. A letter from a naval officer states that the foreign population at Tientsin, near Pe-..., are much alarmed from tbe fact that the Chinese are being liborally sup plied with brccch-louding guns. In the late great storm in Paris a lady was blown through a plate glass window, Lonuou, January 15 boven persons wore burned to death iu the (lie at Litch field yesterday. A terrible earthquake is reported iu In dia, at a town culled Sooughur. Over 1500 persons are said to have been killed, whilo great damage was done to property. Two Wealthy Sisters Starve to Death. Coroner Armstrong last week held a view on the body of Grace Kaighn, ngod about eighty years, who was found dead iu her residence, on Market street above Fourth, Camdeu. Her sister, Charity Kaighn, was also found in a helpless and perishing con. ditlon. They are said to be quite wealthy and yet lived in utter poverty, and the decision of the Coroner is that they diod from starvation and exposure. The body of tho deceased wat taken in charge by the Coroner, and Charity, it it said, will not live. -t3fIn tome parts of Lincoln county Mo., farmers are hauling water and ice ten miles for cooking and other purposes. ' Miscellaneous News Items. ISTA Chinaman, who become snow blind whilo working on the Central Pacific Railway, applied at a San Francisco police station on tho 8d inst., for official permis sion to have himself shot. , i tiFThe small pox has broken out in a colony of religious people known at the " Ornish," residing in Springfield town ship, a few miles north of Fort Wayne, Ind. They disbelieve in vaccination. 3PThirteon yeart ago G. P. Pepper, of Waukesha, Wis., was buried iu a well, whore ho remained seven hours, but was fished out alive, and now yearly celebrates what he calls the anniversary of his " resur rection." C1T" A family, consisting of husband, wife and child, recently died in Labette county, Kansas, without nurse, or medical attendance, and their bodies lay four days before any one would bury them. E2Mrs. Sherman, who was sentenced to imprisonment for life at New Haven, has mado a confession in which she acknowl edges having killed eight persons two husbands and six children. It is believed Bhe has killed still others. tgA marriage took place recently at North Stonington, Conn., iu which the bride had to be carried in the arms of her husband, she having met with an accident two years ago, which deprived her of the use of her limbs. tWNa Iowa man had to have an eye brow amputated recently to 'make room for a new ono that was growing under the skin. The medical fraternity say it is the first instance of the kind in their expe rience, and that this fellow can "brow beat" any man they ever knew. C3?".Ncar Muscatine, Illinois, a sleigh filled with ladies and gentlemen, ran off the Bide bridgo and was precipitated fifteen feet to tho ice below. Miss Binseo was instantly killed; Mr. Thomson and B. Ratz was seriously injured, and several others wore bruised. We have recently heard of a tow uso for mica, viz., for putting between the up per and lower soles of shoes to exclude dampness. It is also becoming much used for decorative purposes, transparent signs, etc., and for making smaltz for painters' use by grinding into small pieces. tWA. lady in Leavenworth, Kan., re moved a fine sot of false teeth for the pur pose of masticating a little " taffy." She threw what sho supposed to bo the taffy wrappings in the snow, and afterwards discovered that it was her teeth. She will find them when the snow molts. In the meantime she will gum it. E3?"At the Morgue in Paris theie is al ways a detective in plain clothes, whose business it is to observe tbe impression which the sight of the bodies make upon the spectators. Many murderers have thus been discovered. They seem to bo led by a fearful fascination to go thither to look upon their victims. i tWlt was Daniel who said "Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be in creased." He clearly referred to reporters in this remark, and this suggests the idea that Daniel was in that line himself; it is certain at all events that he was allowed to pass in free to see the lions. CThey appear to be cursod with Bomo very bad preaching in Iowa. A minister in Hardin county, iu that State, lately had to suo for his salary, which amounted to the munificent sum of $33.00, and tho de fense set up was want of consideration, Tho preaching wasn't worth the money. Perhaps tho salvation of that community was not of sufficient importance to justify more expensive exhortations.
