Stone, at his residence in Washing ton, last Saturday, and called his attention to the rumor that be had decided not to be a candidate for Govenor, and reports as follows: Mr. Stone declined to be interviewed on the ground that he had uniformly refused to talk for publication on the governorship, intending if he decided to enter the contest to make public the fact and # if he did not,en ter there would be no necessity for saying anything. Some time ago Mr. Stone inform ed his friends in his congressional district that if they believed he should enter the gubernatorial race be would do so, or it they believed the party interests in the district domanded that he shoald return to congress he would acquiesce. And while he knew of nothing of Mr. Smiley's an nouncement alluded to above,he presumed it indicated the views of his friends. If so, he will acquiesce in their decision. Inquiry elicited that while Mr. Stone had discussed the gubernatorial matter more or less with his colleagues in the house, he had not seen either Senators Quay or Cam eron since the extra session, and had had no communication with them on the sub ject. EX-SENATOR Showalter of this county is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of Internal Affairs. He is making a canvass of the state; has a fair field, and is hopeful of being successful. He has the best wishes oftisfellow Kepub licans of Butler county. The Revised Slate. In Washington, last Saturday, the fol lowing "slate,' for this State was said to haye been decided upon: Hast ings for Govenor and Mylin for auditor general, as representing the center of the Btate; Lyon for lieatenant-govenor, Mc- Dowell forCongTessman-at-large, as repre senting the western part. The other Congressman-at- large is to go to Philadelphia, and Col. Thomas Stewart is to be renominated for secretary of internal affairs. These two will be charged to the eastern section. It is said the conference of Saturday be tween Quay, Magee and others was caused by the announcement of Showalter for sec retary of internal affairs, tho disappoint ment of Grand Army men over the turning down of Stewert and Gobin and the very active campaign of Jack Robinson, lte oent experiences of the leaders in seeing the people take things away from them led to alarm on the part of both Magee and Quey, lest their declarations for George Handy Smith Bhould be taken seriously and their silence on the remainder of the ticket be taken advantage of and the whole slate shattered. They thought it was best to meet and have the slate promulgated so their hustlers would know how to work. Even with this announcement Robinson Will go Btraight ahead with his campaign, and it is understood Showalter will make such a contest for delegates as will com pel the leaders to recognize promises made to him two years ago or squarely; re pudiate them. He will let nothing go by default. NEW JERSEY has two State Sonates, both claiming to be the legal body. Legis lation in that state is at a standstill and will remain so until the matter is settled. New Light on Diphtheria. If the reported results of recent research es in diphtheria by the Bacteriological Bureau of tho New York Health Depart ment are confirmed they are extremely important. The power to transmit the infection of diphtheria, it is found, lingers sometimes for as much as twelve days and occasion ally three or four weeks in patients who have made an apparently perfect recovery from this most deadly disease. In other words, the infection may have lost its pathogenic power in a person who has suffered from it, while others who have not been inoculated with the poison may be liable to take it from thu conva lescent. In this view of diphtheria a new duty devolves on teachers in all schools, especi ally in the public schools. It is not enough to prevent a scholar who has had diphtheria from mingling with tho other pupils during the period of incubation and convalescence. The spread of the disease, it seems, can only be checked by keeping a diphtheria patient from tho school until a bacteriological examination shows that he no longer carries the germs of the dis ease. This may work hardship to some pupils, but it js better for a few to bear with a considerable detention from school than to endanger the lives of his fellow scholars. HAS a single petition been presented to Congress, aaking that tho Wilson free trade bill be passed T Had there been, news of it would ha\e been published far and wide by the Domocrntic press. On the other hand the petitions against its enact ment are going in by the scores and hun dreds. Bourke Cockrau. the Tainany rep resentative, whose New York constituency it would seem would be interested in the increased importations which the Wilson bill would «ause, says that he has received upwards of a thousand petitions against the passage of the bill and not ono in favor of it. The experience of the last few months has left no doubt in the minds of the average American voter that he doesn't want free trade. A WRITER in the Sharon Record advises people not to rise and rummage tho bouse for burglars when they hear noises. He says: "Let the burglars burgle. Bettor lose a last year's overcoat and a filled casff watch or so than furnixh the central at traction for a lashiocable funeral." This writer is entirely too cautious.

David Bennett Hill walked out of the secret session of the Senate at < o clock Monday evening with a broad smile on his face. He had won in his struggle with the administration and defeated the nomi nation of William B. Hornblower to be As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Homblower was beaten by a majori ty of six votes, the record being thirty against confirmation to twenty-four for it. Six Republican and" eighteen Democrats voted for the confirmation and 14 Repub licans, 13 Democrats and 3 Populists against it. Neither Quay nor Cameron voted. On Tuesday, Congressman Stone of Al legheny introduced a bill providing for the inspection of emigrants by TTnited States consuls. The bill provides that no alien shall be admitted within the United States unless he shall exhibit to the Unit ed States inspectors a certificate signed by the United States consnl at the place near est where such emigrant last resided, set ting forth the consul has made an inves tigation concerning the emigrant and that be does not belong to the class ot alien emigrants excluded from admission to the United States under the provision of the law approved March 3, 1891, relative to the importation of immigrants under con tract to perform labor. On Wednesday the President nominated Geo. S.Fleming, a son of the Market St. druggist, to be P. M. of Pittsburg. Secretary Carlisle issued a circular ask ing for bids on $50,000,000 in 5 per cent bonds payable ia ten years. Something about Roads. As spring approaches, and :t will not be long now before the robin will nest again —as we were saying, as spring approaches the subject of roads is a mighty good one 'to discuss. That there are bad roads in Butler oounty, some of them near Butler, nobody can deny, and nobody cares to deny it, but everybody is disgusted with them. It is the duty of the township road supervisors to make these roads better,and tney can do it if they make an honesi effort. Tnis thing of dumping a few stones in a mud hole or opening a few yards of ditch by the roadside is played out. Peo ple are talking of the neglect, and when the people get to talking and criticising the absurd things that are done and the many good things that are left undone, in the matter of roads and road-building, something is going to drop. A little in quiry into how road taxes are expended, and when and where, and how road taxes are worked out might show up some very interesting facts. The State Board of Agriculture has been paying considerable attention of late to the subject of the construction of pood roads, and giving it intelligent discus ion. Sec retary Edge, who has always beena sticker for good rr ads, at the meetings of the Board, generally contrives to bring the subject up for discussion, and is doing all he can to help bring about a better condi tion of affairs. In his forthcoming report, Secretary Edge will talk as follows on the road subject: "While a radical change in the construction of roads must necessarilj lead to a great outlay of money, better roads than we now have can be had with no extra outlay of money; but there must be a change in the manner of building or working our roads. It is expecting too much to look for an entire change in all the roads of the country at once. Then, if it were practicable to make a part of the roads permanent, the trouble would be, where to begin. There are not so many principal roads as formerly. The roads near cities and large towns are more im portant than those more remote, but not so much so as formerly, since railroads enter nearly every city and town and do most of the carrying of freight and passengers. "The roads most used are those where the railroad station ia at a distance from the town. Such roads might be madt> permanent at the expeuse of the county or State, bnt she very large part of the roads must remain 'dirt roads' for a long time to come. The roads of the country are grow ing more equally important. In sections where cheese factories, creameries or ear ning factories are located, the roads ate brought into more general use. When we get the general mail delivery, and the school system is changed so as to have one central graded school in each townxbip, and the children brought in and returned every day in wagons, the roads will be still more equally important. In order to improve our country roads three things are necessary. First, let there be a gener al awakening of the people in every town ship on this subject, and say we will have better roads. Second, select men for sup ervisors who know something about a road and havo the backbone to see that they are built and maintained. Third, select men for pathmasters who can supervise the building of a road and who will see that every dollar credited to any man lor work done on the , road is earned. The township which starts out with this end in view, can have good roads, and that, too, without any additional cost in the matter of taxation."

Maggie * ee to save her. crying: "I shall be "Who wantß to kill yon.!'' asked Mr. Mc- Kee. "Prof. Hartshorn," was the reply. "Wbo did yon say t" asked Mr. McKee, thinking he had misunderstood the girl. "Why, Prof. R C. Hartshorn of the New Castle high school. He was here a moment ago and tried to chloroform us. He fled when I screamed." Mr. McKee and Mr. Falls made a hurried examination and found the woman on the bed was alive. The odor of chloroform in the room was sickening, and the windows were thrown open to let it escape. By this time Officer John Marshall had arrived. Several ladies then came in and the men went out. Subsequently Mr. McKee and the officer met Dr. Campbell on the street. He was the very man the officer wanted at that time, but he did not know it then, Later it was learned from Miss Maggie Robinson that Miss Alda Robinson, the yonng lady who was lying insensible on the bed, had been the viciim of criminal malpractice by Dr. Campbell at the in stance of R. C. Hartshorn. This occurred the night before New Year s and the crime has since been kept a secret. Miss Robinson did not recover rapidly, in fact she seemed to be growing worse, and day by day and night by night Dr. Campbell and Prof. Hartshorn are said to have kept vigil by her bedside. They al ways endeavored to go at a time that they would not be teen, so that suspicion would not be aroused. Their plans worked well until Wednesday evening, when on account of the very serious condition of the patient. Maggie Robinson, the elder sister, determined to have another phys ician, notwithstanding the threats she says had been made if she ever did so. Another physician was called and soon the fact became known to Prof. t llartshorn and Dr. Campbell. According to Maggie's story Prof. Harts born called early in the evening and made terrible threats because the service of another physician would involve discovery. He said he would stay all night. He raved about discovery, and tbrt-ated to kill both the young women. Miss Maggie says: ' Alter a while m.V sister went to sleep,and I lay aown on the bed. Ido not know whether Prof Hartshorn left the house or not, but about 4A. M. I awakened with a peculiar sensation. I thought I was smoth ering and could only eet my breath by gasps I made a great effort to get on my feet. Prof. Hartshorn was sitting by the side of the bed sprinkling some kind of a drug over the bed clothes. He was throwing it about the room. I knew by the odor that it was chloroform, The professor was trying to murder us. I strug gled to the window and screamed for help. The professor left before assistance camo. As to Campbell's share in the crime Miss Robinson says a dead child was born to her i-i->ter on New Year's eve. The re mains of the in/ant were placed in tie cooking stove and burned. Miss Robinson said that both I)r. Campbell and Prof. Hartshorn were present and assisted. The ashes were gathered up and kept secreted by Maggie until this morning, when they were turned over to Detectives Brown and Marshall. Detective Marshall rnado two inf'irmatious against Prof. Hartshorn, and he was arrested this morning as he was about to leave the city. When the detec tive visited Dr. Campbell's office he found th« door locked and a card, "out ot the city; be back to morrow," tacked on the door. All efforts to locate Campbell have so far been without results. Alda Robinson regained consciousness this evening and told the story of the crime the same in all thb essential* as related l>y her sister Maggie. She said Hartshorn watched the house from his school-room window by day ever since the crime was committed, and had been coming to the honse by night and remaining until nearly daylight, always renewing his threats to prevent any disclosures. Sho said that previous to the crime Hartshorn had given medicine to her sister Maggie to give to her. Maggie refused to give it, saying "I will not send my soul to hell for you.'- - Hartshorn then administered the medicine himself. Campbell is still at large, but ho will hirilly escape capture. The school board met this evening and cancelled Prot Harts horn's contract as principal of the high school. At first he denied his guilt, but to night he admitted everything except that he tried to chloroform or kill the two women. Friday morning Detective Marshall pre ferred charges of murder against Prof. Hartshorn and Dr. H. E. Campbell, the authorities claiming they have evidence to show Miss Alda liebinson's child was alive when born and was strangled by the pro fessor and doctor. The hearing lor Prop Hartshorn was set for January 18. It is thought by that time Miss Kobinson, who was reported in a fair road of recovery would be able to give her testimony. Miss Alda is about 38 years old. Her state ments regarding the burning of the child were i»nbstantially the same as those giveu by Maggie. She said Prof. Hartshorn had taken tho infant, carried it down stairs and put it in the cooking stove. As soon as Mag gie knew Prof. Hartshorn was arrested she was willing to tell all she knew of the crime und her evidence is corroborated by her sister Alua. Prof. Hartshorn's reputation while in N'ew Car-tie was good. People knew him as prin cipal of the high school and a law student- When ii becaiu e known tliat a man of his education anil abilities hail been nssociat eil with such a horrible crime it could hardly be believed, lie was reared on a tariu near Enon Valley, just over the Law rence county line, and his parents were people of prominence in the community 11 is father died about a year ago, and since then his mother has resided on the old homestead. I'rof. Hartshorn secured his education through his own efforts and was graduated with honors at Alt. Union Col lege. lie has been engaged in teaching school during the past ton years, begin ning in the country schools, but rising rapidly in his professon. lio had been principal of the schools at Enon Valley and Mahoningtown,being engaged at the latter place when he was elected principal of the high school here. lie has been study ing law with Col. Oscar L. Jackson. It has been learned that Dr. Campbell was driven to Mahoningtown abont day light Thursday morning. He was recog nized there by friends, one of whom said, to him, "Hello, doctor, out rather early, are you not t" The doctor appeared a lit tle confusod and replied, "Oh, I guess not. I had business down,tho road and thought I would take an early start in order to get back to my rounds." A few more words pass ed between them, when a train came along on the Erie & Pittsburg road, and Dr. • Campbell, saying goodby to his friends, j boarued the train going tow,.rd Pittsburg. IKo clew to his whereabouts has been dis coyered. one taking her may be brought against Dr. Campbell and Prof. Hartshorn. One of her physicians said that nine oat of ten cases similar to that of Miss Robison proved fatal. The first tidings of Campbell came that day, when % Ft. Wayne conductor on the main line said he had a talk ■with him while on the train Thursnay morning Campbell declared that he had done only what hundreds of physicians hare been known to do uncler similar circumstances. Sheriff Doutbett has forbidden visitors at the jail, and the only persons permitted to see Prof. Hartshorn are his attorney and bis brother.

Major William B Xegley, President of the Pittsburg Bar Association, and for many vears one of the leading attorneys of the Allegheny County Bar. died at his home Pittsburg. E E*., Tuesday morning, in his G6th year. During the war he serv ed on General Xegley's staff, and for some years alter the war took an active interest in State ard National politics. He was a delegate from the Presbyterian General Assembly to the Edenburgh Conference in 1877 and the London Conference in 1888. and a commissioner to the General Assem bly trom the Presbytery of Pittsburg and a member of the committee to consider the status of the various theological seminaries of the church which recently met in Pitts burg He was president of the Law and Order Society. The Bar Association met Wednesday aftern.ion and took suitable action regard ing his death. The Pittsburg Times said of him: "He was ruggedly and brusquely honest, and never gave to a client, for private fee or public popularity, advice which he need stoop his honorable manhood to follow He was as far removed from the tricks of the demagogue and the mere case-tryer as a great popular figure or a famous advo cate. he was a citizen of power for the public good, a counsellor of the first rank in judgment,a scholar learned in the broad est marches of the law. " The Dispatch said of him: "Tho death of Major William B. Xegley removes from our miilst a man whose name has been an ornament to Pittsburg for many years. His example is one that can be followed with profit by all young men who de sire to place character above worldly con siderations in the.shaping of their lives. The Gazette said of him: "A strong figure in the affairs of this city was remov ed by the death of Maj. William B Negley yesterday. He was active in legal, busi ness, political and church matt' rs and has the respect and admiration of his associates in all. ' His influence, quietly exerted, was far reaching and was felt in many ways in the daily lite of this community, affecting many who did not even know the man The grief of his family and personal friends in their bereavement will be shared by a wide circle which will keenly feel the logs of his counsel and assistance. Maj Negley's life is an object lesson in the resn't* to be attained by steady, persistent effort in striving (or better things.
