"Stone is Out."
A correspondent called upon Hon
C. W. 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.

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."

"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-

OBITUARY NOTES.
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.

Slippervrock Normal in 1892. died ot con
