Carter Elected.
Th« National Republican Committee
met at Louisville, Ky., Wednesday, and
elected Thomas li. Carter chairman, and
Joseph Manley secretary, according to
the program made up at the caucus.
After a four hour's session the committee
adjourned. Tho much talked of trouble
regarding Mr. Carter's right to the office
of chairman was amicebly settled, in ac
cordance with the caucus program the
meeting was called to order by Mr. Carter.
In doing so he said that it had been long
bis belief tbat tho oxecutivo committee
bad tbe authority to elect tbe chairman
of the national committee, but he bad, on
investigation, found that this was errone
ous. The executive committee had the
Sower only to select its own chairman.
Ir. Carter then surrendered tbe gavel to
Mr. De Young, tho vice-chairman.
Ol'i Deig&borlng county of Lawrence

It will go Into effect on the first of Sep
tember, when Judge Hazen will become

Harrisburg Notes
The only incident in the house Friday
wa» the joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution permitting
women to "vote. It was called up by Mr
Cotton of Allegheny, who had introduced
it amid a storm of noes. Mr. Cotton, how
ever.made a humorous speech in its favor,
in which he declared it was an important
measure. He feared gentlemen of the
house did not fully appreciate it or under
stand its import. He had paid consider
able attention to other gentlemen's bills
during the session, and he hoped they
would give the same consideration to this
bill in which he was interested.
Mr. Crawford reminded Mr. Cotton that
if the bill passed he would recognize its
importance more fully in a year himself.
Mr. Cotton moved to postpone for the
present, but the house declined and Mr.
Boyer called the yeas and nays on the
passage of the resolution. To the surprise
of many it carried by a vote of 60 to 04.
The Legislature will adjourn Thursday,
June 1. A resolution to that effect was
adopted Tuesday morning by the Rules
Committee, and Mr. Boyer was instructed
to report it to the House and the House
adopted it.
The House passed finally the following
bills: Prohibiting persons, by sale, gift or
otherwise, from furnishing cigarettes, con
taining tobacco or cigarette papers, to min
ors and providing for the punishment of
the same; securing to mechanics, jouraey
men and laborers the right to file liens
against real estate for the amount of wages
due for work or labor done in and about
the construction, alteration or repairing
there of.
The House then proceeded to the con
sideration on third reading of the Xiles
double tax bill. Mr. North, of McKean.
was the first speaker on the bill. He was
opposed to it and gave at great length his
reasons. Mr. Branson,of Chester, opposed
the bill from a farmer's standpoint, and
urged the State Tax conference had made
its report before passing a measure of this
Taggart, of Montgomery, said he did not
care whether the manufactures ol his conn
ty were for or against the bill, he
wanted. Tewsksbury, of Columbia, favor
ed the bill. Thomas, of Cambria, said it
was an insult to the farmers of Pennsyl
vania to say that they did not understand
the provisions of the bill. He claimed they
understood it as well as any corporation
lawyer on the floor of the House. MartiD,
of Lawrence, and Porter,of Westmoreland,
spoke in favor of the bill. A vote was
then taken on the bill on final passage with
the following result: For 09, against 120,
Messrs Douthett and Mates voted for tbe
bill.
The senate passed the Farr I ree Text
Book biil that morning on third reading,
and it now goes to the governor. The bill
received a large vote, much to the surprise
of its opponents and friends alike. Ross
ot Bucks, and Mitchell of Bradford, were
the only senators who voted against it.
Tbe bill provides tbat tho books now in
the hands of the pupils shall not be discard
ed Car new books, which will prevent ex
travagance. The measure embodies the
Philadelphia system, which has been in
practice for 75 years, and which ia com
mended by educators throughout the conn
try. The measure is to be followed with
an appropriation ol SOOO,OOO, which will be
in addition to the $10,000,000 to tbe public
schools the next ten years. The bill is un
questionably one of the most important
that has pas*ed this legislature.
These bills passed finally: House bill to
establish a state medical council; Senate
bill to repuire the commonwealth to pay
Jurors; House bill t» enable borough coun
cils to establish boards of health; House
bill to authorixe the election of a chief bur
gess for three years in boroughs; bill to re
quire pawnbrokers to make daily reports of
the articles received by them.
Governor Pattison sent two vetoes t,o the
house Wednesday. One of these was on
the bill authorizing the sheriff of Philadel
phia to advertise sales in three daily pa-
P erg -
Tbe other veto was of the bill for the
publication of the hintory of the birds and
mammals of Pennsylvania in tbo quarter
ly reports of the state board of agriculture.
An Event in the Life of John B. Graham
Mr. John B, Graham is now perhaps the
oldost citizen living in Butler who was
born within it limits, lie is one of two
remaining sons of Robert Graham who
was a pioneer here, and who gave to thi j
county for the benefit of this place as its
County Seat, a good part of bis then farm
on the north end of the town, upon which
much of Butler now stands. John IJ., tbe
subject of this notice, was born here on
the 3d of March. 1809, and is therefore in
the 85tb year of his age. .Hear three years
ago some orntn frtemin celebrated at his
home here the 00th anniversary of bia uiai
riage. Mrs. Graham, his wife, is also yet
living. During ail bis life Mr Graham ha»
been recognized by all as a good,most honest,
peaceable anil kind hearted citizen. llin
feelings are espeo ially warm towards bis
early associates and friends and their chil
dren and descendants. Last week wo met
Mr. Graabm, and he related an event in
his early life, from or by reason of which
ho desired to express his regard for us
through the act to him of one of his early
friends, now deceased.
He stated tbat when a boy about 1.1 or
10 years of age be had occasion to drive his
fathers four horse team into the creek at
tbe fording of the old mill here, then
known as Negley's, now as Walter's mill.
It had been raining and the creek was
higher than he supposed. Tho water was
muddy ami be mistook the way somewhat.
Before he was awaro his horses wore in
deep water and bad to swim. He inado
bis escape by jumping from his saddle horse
just in time from probably being drowned.
The horses succeeded in reaching the op
posite shore, drawing tho wagon with
them, but then they were up against a
steep bank and unable to extricate them
selves. At this critical time, for tho safe
ty of hla team, Mr. Graham ntates a man
who then lived on the opposite side of the
creek was seen running to their aid and
plunged into the water to save the horses.
This he did by cutting the harness and other
wise freeing them from the wagon and aiding
them to reach dry laud. This man proved
to be tbo late John Negley, lor whom Mr.
Graham ever afterwards had tho greatest
regard, and he states that his father, a
a recognition of tho services of tho rescuer
of his team, insisted on presenting the best
horse in it to tho man who rescued them,
which generous offer was of course declin
ed. The horses were gotten safelv home
and after about ten days tbe wagon alto
waa secured. This event Mr. Uraham tells
with a great deal of feeling and with tho
warmest expressions of gratitude towards
the memory of the man who did him each
timely service. Mr. Graham is tbe father
of our present Walter L. Graham, lisq.,
and Dr. Samuel Graham of this place.

Di a owned by Brothers.
A remarkable case, and one tbat Is at
tracting wide spread attention, was placet!
on trial in the Ueaver court Monday after
noon. The plaintiff in tho case is Samuel
Majors, a well-known resident of Roches
ter, aged about 52 years. He has held tbo
Sosition of postmaster at Baker's Lauding,
caver county, and at one time was the
agent at Bridgewater Station, on the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie railroad. He was al
ways regarded as the oldest of a family <>f
four sons of Samuel Majors, Sr., who died
in New Sewickley township, Beaver coun
ty, In 1883.
A short time ago bis brothers began to
divide their father's farm, which is quiUt
valuable, and when ho made inquiry
about his interest they informed him that
ho was not their brother, but an illegiti
mate child of thoir mother, and he nee
was not an heir to his reputed father's
estate. Strange as it may aeem< the
mother confinneu tho story, and although
quite old is still in full possession of ail
her faculties. Some time ago made
affidavit in accordance with the* above
statement.
The plaintiff now enters suit to recover
his portion of his father's property, and to
do so is attempting to prove that lie wan
never regarded otherwise than a son of
Samuel Majors, Sr. Neurly 20 witnesses
were callou. many of whom are relatives,
and they testified tbat he wa< always con
sidered a son, although it has been proven
that he wus born out of wedlock.

The World's Fair.
Sunday was a great occasion on the out
side of Jackson Park, as perhaps Ij,ooo
people were denied admittance to the
World's Fair grounds. In spite ot the or
der issued by President Higinbotham, that
the gates should be closed, the public seem
ed to think there was a mistake and they
went out in good faith. The watchmen at
th'- £«'•■< bail a sorry time ef it. a- :he
Chicago people have not '.it-en denied any
thing i the way ot Snndav pleas'ir--* for
njiny It was with the greatest dif
ficulty" that a r*po.ter got ir. the
groun ' . where he found an unusmilo arge
numbc-r «;f men a: work .".ting the Huild
ings in better shape.
The validity of the law of congress clos
ing the gates is to be tested in the courts
I this week. Charles W. Clingman, who is
a stockholder in the fair, has served notice
on Secretary Edmonds that he will appeal
to the courts to open the fair on Sunday.
In his letter, he, in the interest of the
working people and as representative of
other stockholders, demanded that the peo
ple be admitted Sunday the same as every
other day in the week.
"I demand this," continues he, "not on
ly for my interest financially as a stock
holder, but more especially for the puople
who could not see the exposition on any
other day except Sunday. Having made
this demand on you in writing I have plac
ed the matter in the hands of my attorneys
who will commence legal proceedings at
once azaini-t the exposition if my demands
are not at once complied with.''
President Higinbotham had not learned
of Mr. Clingman's letter when a reporter
asked him what he intended to do about it.
He read the letter carefully.
""We shall be compelled to defend the
suit if one is brought,'" he finally said.
"Resist Sunday opening, in other words,'
the reporter remarked
"Yes. that is the portion in which we
would be placed, although nearly all the
members are in favor < ' a seven-day fair.
However, 1 do not think anything will
come of this notice. I believe Mr. Cling
man can be convinced that his plan i-* not

Another blight day dawned upon the
World's Fair Monday morning and the
prospect? for greatly increasing the atten
dance of the week just begun, over that of
last week, are exceedingly favorable. It
was somewhat disappointing to many of
tbe visitors to note the contrast between
the external and internal appearances of
the beautiful white palaces. Without all
seemed to be finished, but a peep inside
the gTeat doors disclosed a ehaon ol boxes,
works of art and excelsior packing. This
was especially true of the Manufacturers
and Liberal Arts buildings. Hundreds of
men were unloading wagons and freight
cars, hundreds were bearing open boxes
and packages, and hundreds were arrang
ing exhibits. It was so in the electrical
building, in the Machinery ball and in
three-fourths of the structures on the
ground.
In the palace of fine arts the depart
ments are all in the different stages of per
fection. The French exhibit is complete;
the German is almost so. The Holland ex
hibit is far advanced, and so is the Cana
dian, but there are others which seem like
ly to have some delay.
Invalids and cripples who are forced to
use specially constructed chairs for purpos
es of locomotion will in the future be allow
ed to wheel themselves, in their own prop
ertv, around the grounds of the World s
Fair at the price of $3.10 a day. The tariff
on the use of wooden legs and crutches has
not yet been fixed. When it comes to get
ting something for absolutely nothing, the
roller chair extortion easily leads them all.
The greatest event of the day, and one
which attracted the attention of visitors
from almost every state in tho union, was
the opening of the register in the lower
corridor of tbe Penn'a State Building.
This great event took place at 10 o'clock,
and more than a few people were waiting
for it. There was quite a scramble for the
honor of having one's name enrolled on
the first page of this book, and before
nightfall 12 0 namCß had been inscribed.
Every visitor who could get near tho book
put down his name, whether he was from
California, Mexico or any other place in
the union. The first name inscribed was
that of Mrs. H. A. Roth of Butler county,
Pennsylvania.
A few minutes after the book was opened
that tall, handsome Pennsylvanian who
became so well known throughout the
country, pressed through the crowd and
in a bold, running hand wrote his name,
"Hugh J. O'Donnel, Homestead, Pa."
Among the other Butler county people
who registered tbat day were I)r. J. 15.
Sbowalter, Chicora; Pauline Showalter,
Chicora; Ella Sbowalter, Millerstown: Gen

The committee on live Block ma do a re
port which is not all encouraging. The
committee found on investigation that the
grounds and buildings in this department
( are not ready, though the chief of tho de
partment thinks there is ample time and
that he will havo them In readiness by the
lime they are needed. . According to the
report not a single exhibitor is yet in at
tendance, nor are there any exhibits. The
date of entry for horses and cattle is,there

Ten Killed.
One of the most horrible wrecks in the
history of railroading occurred on the l!i«
Fonr road in Lafayette, Ind. at 1:15 o'clock
Sunday morning, as a result of which ten
men are now dead and many more injured
Tho train was the east bound passenger
leaving Chicago at 9a. m. The accident
was caused by the failure of the airbrakes
to work. Tho engineer undoubtedly dis
covered this before reaching the cut be
yond the Wabash river, as the vigorous
whistling of the engine for brakes could be
heard wnen tho train wus still a mile west
of the city. The engineer's desperate effort
lo stop the train was shown by the large
amount of sand thrown by him on the
biidge through which the train came just
before the fatal crash.
The engine dashed out of tho bridge over
tbe W abash river at a speed of not less
than sixty miles *n hour, crashing Into tbe
depot building, carrying off a portion of
the depot and train sbeus, carrying them
.several hundred feet.
The engine when it left the track, was
Io!lowed by the baggage car, two postal
cars and express car that piled in one pro
miscuous mass, a total and complete wreck
bury ing a score or more of victims in the
awful pile. The trucks of th*. first day
coach were dragged out and the side of the
car knocked into fragments, but no pas
sengers in this car were Injured. The
chair-car and two I'ullman sleepers remain
ed on the track. The wreck was complete
the engine and cars being piled up togcth
er with their contents
'l'., add to the consternation fire broke
out from tbe stove in tho baggage car, but
tbe lire department speedily extinguished
tbe flames. A large crowd of citizens
gathered very quickly on the weue ol the
disaster and asKisted in rescuing tfio vic
tims, and a largo force of local physicians
gave the necessary attention to tbe wound
ed. Several victims of tho wreck were
per*"(M standing in the depot waiting for
the train, a buslnuta, a mail-curt driver
and passengera.

Carlyle Harris's End.
CarlyleW. Harris, convicted ol having
caused'the death of Helen Potts, to whom
he had been secretly married, by poison
ing her, paid the death penalty in the elec
tric chair shortly after noon Monday at
Sing Sing. New' York. Th* electrocution
was a perfect success, being attended by
none of the awful feautures which have
characterized previous executions by elec
tricity. Dr. C. M. Daniels, of Buffalo,who
had charge of the arrangements in the
death chamber and of the autopsy, -aid
the electrocution was the most successful
of the seven which he had witnessed.
"Harris died without pain,"said the doctor,
"aad I do not see how his execution could
have been better from a humane stand
point." . , ,
Harris was brave to the last, and as he
took his seal in the chair, to which he had
walked unaided, he said, in a low voice.
"I would like to say something, if I have
the Warden's consent."
Warden Dursto stepped to the chair aud
said: "What do you wish to say t"
Harris then, in a weak voice, as though
each word cost him a powerful effort, aid:
"I have no further reservation to make.
I desjre to say that I am absolutely inno
cent." These were his last words.
The body was placed in the casket. The
undertaker refused to disclose the plans
for the disposition of the body. The silver
plate upon the cover ot the casket contain
ed this inscription:
CARLYLK W. HARRIS,
Murdered May 8, 1893,
Aged 23 years, 7 months, 15 days.
We would not if we had known.
THE JURY.
When 19 years old Harris began to
study medicine, and spent the school year
of 1888-89 at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. In 1889 he went to live at
Ocean Grove, N J., with his mother, and
there met Miss Helen Potts, aged 18 years,
to whom he was secretly married February
17, 1890. Harris soon tired of his yonng
wile, on whom he performed two opera
tions in order to keep their marriage a
secret. When this was finally discovered
Helen confessed to her mother, but Harris
denied the marriage. Later Harris promis
ed Mrs. that he would marry her
daughter publicly, but urged her to wait
until he had completed his studies.
The young wifebti l been complaining of
headache, and on January 20. 1891, Harris
gave her four pi Is, telling her to take one
each night. The pills contained morphine
and made her worse, bat her mother said
that Carlyle knew what was best for her,
and the girl took the fonrth pill on the
night of January 31, and died the next day.
The apparent preparations Harris had
made to clear himself of suspicion, his re
fusal to permit the girl to be buried under
his name and the conflicting stories he
told caused suspicion to be directed toward
himself. He was indited on May 13, 1891,
brought to trial OP January 14, 1h92, and
three weeks later the jury found him guilty
of murder in the first degree George
Rains, of Rochester, was appointed a com
missioner by the Governor to hear the new
testimony on which Recorder Smyth had
denied a new trial. Commissioner Itains
reported that there was no testimony t
show that Miss Potts was a confirmed
morphine eater, and on this report the
Governor declined to extend clemenc to
Harris.
The Boiler Gave Out.
The steamer Ohio collapsed a flue, Sun
day morning near Belmont, Mo., scalding
twenty-two men, six of whom died before
reaching the hospital.
Cyrus Myers, the second mate, is miss
ing and supposed to have been blown

taken to Cairo by the steamer Argus and
the injured were taken to the marine hos
pital.
The steamer Ohio belongs to the Cincin
nati <t Memphis Packet Company.
Tho Nellie Speer took tbo Ohio in tow
and took her to Cairo where the passengers
were lorwardod by rail to their destination.
The boat is uninjured excepting tho one
boiler, which will be plugged, and
the boat will leave in a few days for Cm
cinnati. The mate and boy jumped over
board. The boy was rescued, but the
mate was lost.
The cattle on board was scalded and had
to be killed. Bales of cotton and rags
with other heavy freight was blown against
the back end of the boat a distance of 100
feet.
The Donkey's New Use.

hoodoos turned up Tuesday at tho residence
of'S. Schoyer, Jr., inCwissvalc. That day
Mrs. Schoyer was surprised by a visit from
a man, bis wife and six children, who
nijiln tho formal ro.j,on-t Cnr tli» 1..11, r,.r
a few minutes of tho donkey used by the
younger members of tho Schoyer house
hold. In explanation he said his children
were suffering from tho whooping COIIJJII
anil he wanted to try a charm with the
donkey to cure the cbildten. He had been
searching for two weeks for such an ani
mal and had learned accidentally of the
one at the Schoyer homestead.
The animal was brought up and the man
grav ely passed each child -ix times under
lit and six times over its back. After com
tiletiiiK the absurd performance he thanked
Mis Schoyer profusely 1 n 1 depait d v it 1 his
family apparently happy ua satisfied that
the charm would work a sure euro for his
alllicted little ones.
