The Chter Justices.
Tbe death of Judge Waite, Chief
Jnatice of tbe Bupreme Court of the
United States, has called out the fact
that only seven persons hare occu
pied that position since the organiza
tion of tbe Government. The follow
ing are t»eir names and dates and by
what President appointed:
John Jay, by Washington.
John Rutledge, 1795, by Washing
too.
Oliver Ellsworth, 1796, by Wash
ington.
John Marshall, 1801, by Adams
(tbe first.)
Roger B. Taney, 1836. by Jackson.
Salmon P. Chase, 1864, by Lin
coln
Morrison R. Wsite, 1874, by Grant.
John Marshall occupied the place
for 85 years, and Tauey for about 30
years. Wsite. now deceased, comes
aext in length of service, being about
14 years.
The New Castle Delegates.
By tbe proceedings in some of the
sob -districts of this county it will he
seen that action is being tak»n to set
tle upon the sub and
sub National Delegates to the New
Castle district conventions. This is
tbe proper course and wLere due no
tice is given and the matter properly
undu stood there will of course be
general acquiescence in the pekctions
named. It is a right that belongs ex
clusively to tbe Republican voters of
%ach sab-district, and should not be in
terfered with by candidates for Con
gress or national delegates themselves
by appearing on the ground at the
meetings and setting up sub-delegates
or otherwise endeavoring to influence
the action of the voters of tbe district
This is looked upon as very improper
conduct in any candidate and as pro
ducing bad results that t-hould be
•voided.

I»!O*!O :< were heard in the city, but
not until today was tbe fcau-w discov

The Republican Primary.— !
What are to be Nominated,
And What Eiected.
The Republican Primary election
tor this county comes off on April 14
two weeks from Saturday next j
This H at an earlier date thau usual,
which was rendered necessary by the '
dales fixed for h the Statu and j
National Conventions, to which dete- i
gates have to be elected. So tar there
has been less excitement than usually .
preceeds a primary election. But the
offices to fill this fall are among the j
most important to the people. They .
are principally of a legislative char- |
acter. It is "therefore of importance:
that pood nominations be made for
these positions. The voters of tbe !
party should take an interest in tbe
nominations by turning out to the
primary election.
CONGRESS.
Eirst on the list, and ticket, and
most importaut, is that of Congress •
Four counties compose our new Con- i
gressionai District, to wit: Bearer, |
Liwreiice, Mercer aud Butltr. Each •
one of these will present one caudi- |
date at least to the District Convc-a '
tion, which will uu*et. this year in
Ne\v Castle, Lawrence Co. A new
mode has been agreed upon for nom
inating the caudidate for the district.
Each county can present a candidate,
or any number of them for Congress,
as usual, but at the same time each
connty is required this year to elect
and send fifteen sub-delegates to the
District Convention at New Castle j
These fifteen sub-delegates have to be :
elected in fifteen sub districts, into
which each of the four counties has |
been divided. This is not only a new j
plßn, but a rather complicated one. 1
However, we are pleased to see tbat i
tbe Republicans of ibis county are in-,
quiring into tbe change, and making i
arrangements in each sub-district for i
the selection of the tub-delegates form :
each of the same These sub dele-,
gates have to carry out in the dis
trict convention the wishes of the
majority of the voters, as expressed j
in the sub districts. Thus one sub
district may be tor or.o candidate and
one for another, and tbe sub delegates
must vote accordingly.
NATIONAL DELEGATE
The next place to fill, as ou the
tickets printed, is that ol National
Delegate, or Delegate to the coming
National Convention to be heid in j
j Chicago, June 19. This is not an !
office, but a trust, made BO by our I
party throub party regulations. The |
reason for its present position on the j
ticket, immediately after that of Con- '
gress, is because National Delegates
have to be chosen in the same way j
that candidates for Congress are nom- ;
iaateti. Hence in this county and
district they have to be chosen by the
new mode made for nominating for I
Congress. That is, each of the fifteen
sub-districts of this county have also
the electing of a sub-delegate from ;
tbe same to meet similar delegates
from other counties in a District Con
vention, also this year to be held at
New Castle. This District Conven
tion, like the Congressional one. will
thus be composed of sixty delegates
in all. This body will have the se
lecting of two delegates to tbe Na
tional Convention, being the namlier
each Congressional district is entitled
to have as representation in the same
So that after a candidate for N at ion a I
Delegate is presented from a county
he has to go through aud be subject
to the action of the District Conven
tion at New Castle, which body will
j finally uamo the two from the lour
counties to represent the district
There are also two alternates for said
two to be then arrd there chosen
Each of these District Conventions
will be separate from eflch other, hav
ing different duties to perform, the
one Congressional, or for nominating
for Congress, and the other for the
selection of tbe National Delegates.
They will not likely meet at the same
time, and to prevent any conflict in
their actions it would be best for
each sub-district to elect one for each
duty at the coming primary election
Th s is the mode we believe that, is
being pursued in tte other counties of
the district.
bTATE DELEGATES.
These are to be elected by the body
of the County at large, as usual
There are two of them, and their du
ties are to attend the Slate Conven
tion, to be be!d in Ilarrisburg on
April 25, for the purpose of nomina
ting a candidate for Judge of the Su
preme Court of the State, and such
other duties as may properly come
before them iu the State Conveution.
STATE SENATE
This ofhce is also voted for at the
primary as heretofore, by the liody of
the county, and the candidate having
the highest vote is the one nominated
in the County. The Senate district
is composed of Armstrong and Butler
counties, the former county having
the present Senator from the district
aod our county claiming the uext can
didate- An effort was made by this
county to have the question of next
candidate submitted to a popular vote
of both of the Counties, but this was
declined by Armstrong Couuty, and
hence the u»ual meeting of conferrees
will probably take place, to determine
which county is to have the coming
candidate. There are four candidates
for the nomination in this ccuaty and
two in Armstrong County.
ASSEMBLY.
This county has two members of
the Ueneral Assembly to elect this
fall. The Assembly and the Senate
compote the Legislature, the one call
ed the upper and the other the lower
Hou?e. The. members of the lower
House, or Assembly, arc generally
spoken of as the "members of tb«
Legislature." Hut their duties and
powers as to law making are the
same ns Senators. It requires both
branches to enact a law. The pay oi
Assemblymen is the same that of
Senators. Four candidates it will be
Seen are announced for the nomina
tion in this county and the two high
est in vote at the primary will be the
ones nominated.
JURY COMMISSION Kit.
Two Jury Commissioners are to be
elected this fall. Hut under the law
no voter ran vote for moro than one
Hence each party nominates but one
The policy of the present law was to
prevent any one party from having
the entire control in the selection of
jurymen. A number of candidates
are ennouiiced for the Republican
nomination at the primary, and the
one having the highest vote will be
the cundidate.
, RETURN JUDGES.
Last on, and at the foot of the tick
et, is the Return Judge. One is to
be elected iu each election diotrict of
the Couuty, as usual. His duty is to
take charge of and bring the vole iu
of his township or borough to the
Couuty Convention, that meets in
Butler on the Monday alter the pri
mary, April 16. Jt is au mportant
trust always, and this year may bo
mure importaut than heretofore, as
the change made in nominating for
Congress and National Delegates
may require more care and labor than
usual. Good mpn, the best that pan
be got to come, should therefore be
s*nt this year from each election dis
met of the County. They should be
elected at the primary like aii others
then voted tor.
With the above brief statement of
the coming primary the Republican
voters of tbe County will see the
work and duties tboy have to per
form at the same, on April 14.

Confessed A Terrible Plot.
WILKESBABRE, PA , March 27.—A
htrnuge story comes to light today in
connection with the case of Adam
Volkavitch. who will be executed
here on Tuesday of next week for
tl.e murder of Stanislaus Bioski
Volkavitch, after arrest, confessed
the killing, but said Bioski, who was
a former lover of his wife, attacked
him with a kaife and he killed him
in self-defense.
Oa Sunday his wife visited him in
jail and today Yolkavitch related a
startling confession which she had
m><de to him. She loved Bioski and
at his suggestion entered into a de
liberate plan for the murder of her
busband. Bioski was to announce
his intention to visit Pittston and
was to induce Yolkavitch to accorn
pauv him on foot to tbat town. At
some lonely spot Bioski was to quar
rel with bim with a kuife. Every de
tail of his fiendish program, except
tho closing act, was carried out, and
but that Yoikavitcb was armed and
used his weapon it would have been
his body instead of Bioski's that
would have been found there the next
morning Mrs. Yolkavitch stated
two other living persons know of
this plot—Joseph Fisher and Mieha
eliua Androsykwick.
This story, if it could have been
legally substantiated, it would doubt
less have had mach weight with
the Pardon Board, but as it was the
board refused the* application for a
heariDg of the case at their meeting
last week.
Obituary.
Died in this city, March 12, 1888,
Williamson Graham, aged 78 years.
In the death of Williamson Gra
ham the city of Oakland lost one of
its oldest and most esteemed citizens
Pew men lived a life so exemplary, so
full of love for bis fellow men. The
eyes that dropped the tears of sorrow
were not confined to the sad and lone
ly widow left behind him, or his
many relatives in the East, separated
so far from him. His good deeds, his
benevolent actions, his sympathy tor
the sorrows and «ffiictious of others,
have endeared him to hundreds He
was a beautiful typo of the Christian
gentlemen. About five years ago his
onlv and much beloved daughter was
oailed away to the land beyond the
river, and about two years since his
only son, the late lion William M
Graham, a promising young lawyer
at the Alameda bar, was taken from
him. That son was the joy of bis
life—-the hope of his old age Bereav
ed aud almost heart broken he num
bered the rest of his day. Mr. Gra
ham was born in Butler county, Pa.,
and was 78 years cf age at the date
of his death Ho leaves behind him
a wife to mourn au exemplary aud de
voted husband, a wife thrice stricken

A Bad Memory.
The Pittsburg Prens gets oft' the fol
lowing on Butler Co: He was a stur
dy looking citizen, with a broad brim
med slouch but on his head and an
acre or two of Butler county real es
tate on bis feet.and as he stood before
the license clerk in the register's oftico
this morning, his countenance, crim
son clear back to the ears, and his
knees as shakry as tbe price of oil in
pauic times, he looked just what he
was, a farmer from away buck
He wanted a marriage license, and
as the manly growth of stubble ori
his face proved b«yond the shadow of
a doub* that ho was of age, there did
n't seem to bo any reason why be
shouldn't have it. Ho got along all
right until ho came to the question
of bis intended wife's age.
"Wal, now I can't jist say, for
sure," he stammered, "1 reckon she's
old enough to vote, though "
' You haven't told me the name
yet," the clerk suggested.
"Her uumi-! Oh its Nellie."
"Nellie what?"
"Wal now, Mister, you've got me.
Blamed if I don't jist disremember
her other name. Won't Nellie do?
"I'm afraid not. Wo must have
hrr last name "
"Wal, you see, its this way: She
was married once aud got a divorce
from her hunband. 1 can't mind the
feller'a name. You see I haveu'i
i known her very long and I didn't
| think about it being necessary."
"Do you know her maiden name?
"No, I don't; but I'll i>-ll what I'll
do l'll go back home ifud a-k her "
"1 think you had better do that."
Ho left the office, and is by thin
tim< probably tramping his way bit k
to Butler county ta liud out his
sweetheart's name.

NEW YORK. March 24. —Mrs. Min
nie Leibkuchner entered a police na
tion early this morning and told the
sargeent in charge that she had pois
oned three of her childreu, that two
were dead and she wanted a doctor to
come and see the other. She said
that she bad given thtm "rough on
rats" in their tta, because she loved,
them and they were going to be taken
away from her.
The police went to her house at
once and found her horrible story to
be true. The two children lay dead,
c refully covered with tho bed clothes,
while the third was writhing in
agony. As soon as possible ibe child
was taken to the hospital, the mother
witnessing his departure with perfect
composure. She was at once placed
under arrest and told a most extraor
dinary story of ber experiences.
She was the Becond wife of a once
wealthy brewer in this city, but who
afterwards failed and died a very
poor man, and she w«s obliged to
work for a living The Blooming
dale Aid Society bad taken ebarge of
her children and on last Tuesday she
received a letter from the society in
which it was announced that homes
in the west had been secured for the
little ones, and that they must be
ready to start on Saturday. This
le'ter pluuged her into excessive
grief, and she at once decided to ki:l
her childreu rather than part with
them She at once bought a quanti
ty of "rough on rats," and put it into
the children's tea.
She related with wonderful com
posure how the boys had been tortur
ed unt'i death ended their sufferings,
and how she sat by their dead bodies,
for more than 12 hours. The woman
was at once examined by physicians
as to hor sanity, but was pronounced
sane.
