Butler Fair, September 6, 7. H, v
I William Gibson, the venerable rwurt
crier of Mercer county -died from stu •
stroke in New Castle, Thursday, Oibson
i went tu town with an excursion party,
and was partially overcome by the he-it
while walking about the streets. At
j uoon he fell oil the Nes bannock bridge,
and was removed to city ball where 'ie
j was placed on a cot an<l a physician sent
• for Ke died five minutes aftt-r the
arrival of the doctor He had been
! court crier of Mercer county for morc
. years then the younger generation can
! remember.
j The bridge on l;.e Allegheny at E: .
; lenton is now "free". The »ridge Co .
, was awarded $2". 00 i which was pa d
over last Thursday.
i Mis Albert Campbell, demented over
j imaginary sins, • mmitted su:cide in a
most horrible manner shortly befo v
i dawn last Wriawdw morning, at Sw
Castle Arising while her husband and
five young children were sleeping, sue
donned a v. rapper, and taking a gallon
of oil. a match, a stout strap and a
large knife, went into the yard, where
a stake stood 50 feet distant from the
honse. Pouring the oil over her cloth
ing. she knelt and bound herself to the
stake with the strap. She then ignited
her clothing She shrieked only once,
the cry being beard by a neighbor. who
j rushed to the spot only to find her al-
I ready dead The clothing was burned
| entirely from her body, which was
blackened and scorched from head to
t feet The hair was burned off and the
features unrecognizable. So firm was
her resolution that she did not struggle
while burning to death. Thes'ake wa
loosely set in the ground,and the slight
est struggle would have pulled it loose.
For some months past Mrs. Campall
had been subject to fits of melancholia,
during which she would brood over her
supposed sins. She believed herself re
sponsible for the declaration of war
si 1 fancied that the blood of soldiers
killed in battle was upon her head. She
had been heard to say that she should
be offered up as a sacrifice.
