SENATOR CAMERON WILL RE
, TIRE.
Senator Cameron in a letter tp
State Senator S. J. M. McConoll,
dated Dec. 9, announces his deter
mination that under no circums
tances will he again bo a candidate
for re-election, He deems it fair
that his friends and others should
thus early be apprized of his inten
tions that they may not be embar
rassed by his candidacy. Ho txk
his seat in 177, and will have served
twenty years at tho completion of
his term in 1HSI7.
While this course may he a sur
prise to tho Republican masses of
Pennsylvania, yet no doubt, many of
the sincere friends and well wishers
of the senator will approve it, and
Republicans generally will doubtless
foci that it relieves a strain on the
party. His declaration iselenrnnd
emphatic and leaves no room to
question its sincerity. The people
will accept it as conclusive of hU in
tention. Mr. Cameron's political
convictions were no doubt taken
with all duo consideration, and act
ually represent Impersonal belief,
but that they aro to a great extent;
not in harmony with those of his
pirty here no one can deny. He
was not in touru with tho sentiment
of Pennsylvania on some of tho most
vital economic questions, and his
position on tho silver question was
antagonistio to tho cherished con
victions of his constituents.
Had ho persisted in being n candi
date it would havo precipitated a
struggle in every legislative district
in tho state, as between Cameron
and anti-Cameron ' factions, and
while a discussion as to the succes
sion will arise, and active move
ments bo mado in various directions
yet they will bo on lines of prefer-,
ences as to candidates and riot; on
questions of party orthodoxyr "
Many names have already beon
suggested as possible or probable'
candidates for the seat.: Among
them, Goy. Hastings, GeSicral
Roeder.ex-PpstmaHtor (Jerieral Wun
namakerj ex-Chief Justice 'Paxsrjn,
Senator Penrose 'and others. It is
practically conceded that the choice
will come from the east, and Phila
delphia is already urging her claims,
as not having had a senator in sixty
years. We do not know that any of
tho gentleman altove named ore or
will lie candidates, but wo believe
that no more fitting one in point of
character or ability could be found
in eastern Pennsylvania than Gen
eral Frank Reodor, Secretary of the
Commonwealth .
MR. BAYARD CALLED TO AC
COUNT. Congressman Barrett, of Massa
chusetts, introduced a resolution of
impeachment of Ambassador Bay
ard in the House yesterday for his
unpatriotic speeches in England as
published in the Loudon News Nov.
8, 1895. In a speech ho character
ized his countrymen as " a violent
people who sought a rwil man to
govern them." Such views may be
in harmony with those of tho Eng
lish tories, who look upon our xx
plo as turbulent, and imagine -that,
popular government is necessarily
so, and requires a strong man to sit
npon and keep it quiet. The FliHa
lndolphia Press says " that when he
chnrnoteriwxl tho Republican pro
tM tive policy as socialism and drew
a dismal picture of its effects npon
his country, ho spoko as a Demo
crat on the stump, smarting nndef
the recent defeat of his party. When
he told his Edinburgh audience that
the effect of the success of the pro
tective policy in this country wa to
Ixinish men of independent mind and
character from the public Councils,''
he did not explain that it hud kept
Mr. Baynrd from returning to tho
iSonnte in and had kept him
out ever since." -
He cerlninly deservejj (unin ensti
gution for his laok of judgment, and
tlie had tflMto of these ntternnces,
and ho is likely to receive such a
borough dressing out in the House
is those who are all " English you
know " deserve.
Our neighboring village of Port
Jcrvis is at present having consid
erable trouble over the water ques
tion. Last summer during the
Irouth tho water gave out and re-
ourse was had to pumping water in
ho mains of the water company
rom Cuddcljack brook. Tho reser-
oir seemed to need cleaning out
and tho company made some show
of work in that direction, but it is
claimed by tho Board of Health that
it was a very ineffectual attempt.
An analysis of the water made by
thestate officials showed it to be im
pure and nnfit for drinking and cul
inary purposes. The company was
thereupon notified not to permit any
of the water from this reservoir to
flow into their mains. This pro
hibition, was, on the occasion Of fire
alarms disregarded, whereupon the
Board of Health after hearing argu
ments pro and oon, imposed a fine of
f 75 on the oompapy for each offence;'
or a total of $375. There the mat
tor rests but no doubt the end is not
yet.
V The fourth division of the 12th in
ternal revenue district of Pennsyl

Kentucky is to be congratulated
over tho inauguration of her first

that his inaugural address shows him

Barry Rnrward Crlna,
On tho evening of Deo. S, 1894, the
dead body ofi Miss Catfterlne'Glng, a well
known dress maker of this olty. was found
lying by the side of the lonely road that
eklrts Lake Calhoun, one of the favored
eummerdrlves, bull less-used In December.
llnrry Hayward'e first appearanoe in
the matter was at midnight on the night
of the murder, whctl ' he came to-police
headquarters and expressed his belief that
the woman had' been murdered, explain
ing that he b'elieved that It Was thesoheme
of some unknown persons to,"do" hlro
out of several thousand dollars' of Insur
ance money from polioles ..Miss Glng had
assigned to him as security for loans.
Hayward and the murdered girl bad been
olose acquaintances, and he ra great gam
bler hud nlnced' money for ber 'on the
cards and had beon associated with her In
one or two' business deals. t Miss Gihg
lived in tho Ozark, a handsome apartment
house owned by Haywnrfl's .father, and
they were able to see muoh of 'each other!
Owing to his close' friendship for the
woman, llarrjr was closeted with the offl
oers, under tde direction of Mayor Eustls,'
for ID hours, and during that time was
ubjeoted to a terrible Inquisition without
food or rest. '
His nerve was always remarkable and
was never more evident than then, for
after ao hours in custody he was released,
the officers being unable to get anything
from him that would seem to oonneot
bim In any way with the crime.. The In
surance motley had made fhera suspicious.
The second- day after the murder oame
the unexpected event which led to the so
lui ion of the mystery. A lnttor came from
Killer h. M. Stewtirt, who had for years
been the t irnl adviser of the Hnyward
fmniiy" a'lilr.-sscd to the oounty attorney.
He statrd that threo days before the mur
der hn hud n call from A dry A. Hayward,
an eld- r brother of Harry, who told him
'that Tbirry arel CImus H.ixt, engineer at
.tho )ztirk,.vero nhuut to murder Miss
Glug. Tlie cider knew that Harry often
talked In ways he hnd no thought of act
ing and told 'A dry he was being fooled
and to pay no attention to the matter.
Adry had insisted that It was true, and
that he furry believed the murder would
bcour, bnt he dropped the matter when
told to do so, and nothing more was
thought ahontrlt until the announcement
of the mnrder, and that brought the con
versation to Mr.. Stewart's mind, and he
lent the letter to County Attorney Nye.
Hayward's Arrest a Sarprtsa,
On the following day Harry Hayward
was arrested. He had again been subject-,
ed to a searching examination during th
previous 'night, and -his arrest was sur
prise. . Six- hours later Adry was also be
hind the bars, and the. next . day Blixt,
with his wife, were also arrested. Mrs.
Blixt,' however, was soon at liberty.' On
Sunday, Dee.9,-Bl!x') made, it oonfesslon.
In wblob he atatud that th murder had
been committed by Harry, and that he
had limply diiposed of ' the body for blm.
This was clearly false, 'and he finally con
fessed that. Inspire by Barry Hayward
and for , tear that Hayward .would kill
Mrs. Blixt that threat being held'over
him he had committed the murder, and
hs described I as It was afterward describ
ed by -bim-on th witness stand. .He had,
he said, followed Harry' Instructions In
all particulars, Harry getting the girl to
go with him to point near .where the
murder was committed ud then' turning
her over to Blixt, who watched his chanoe
and shot hnr-in the back of the head and
then tumbled th bady Into 'the road,
where It was found. Various corroborat
ing circumstance's were found lator," and
It was foMhihJthat .Harry. Hayward, the
stalwart 6 footer, handsome,' nervy, er
ratic and reckless, was convlated and sen
tenced . to' hang. Clans Blixt pleaded
guilty and was sent to thestate prison for
life for his share In the crime.
' The trial of Harry Hdyw'ardwaa a nota
ble event in criminal Jurisprudence, full
of sensatlonal Inoidonts and lasted nearly
(even weeks from Jan: 1.
Governor Clough set the execution for
June 81. but the filing of the appeal to
the supreme court necessitated post
ponement. On Nov.- 30 the supreme' court
announced Its decision, atlirming the de
olslon o? the lower court.
Executive clemency was refused, and
the governor fixed the dny oP the execu
tion for Wednesday, ilea " 11, between
mldulght and duwn. . . ;., .
The execution took ulaoe at 3:0R n'nhvnk
this morning. Hayward made a state-.'
ueutoi nve minute' duration, andwbilo
not making a confession said be hoped
God would forgive him for all the harm
he bad ever done. - . . .

Pre destroyed several building In this
lown early this morning.
The fire wn discovered l 11 o'olock.
A watchman employed In the fonr story
brick structure known as MeMane's build
lug, nt Depot square and Park avenne,
Finellcd smoke and desoended Into the cel
Inr to ascertain what was wrong. He
found a pile nf rubbish In flames.
From MeMane's building the fire ex
tended to Vorwald & Prince' shoo store,
Norton's stationery store, Hatch' phar
macy and Myor's dry goods store.
By this time every man In the town
was awnke'and was doing everything In
his power to help the firemen In their ef
forts to subdue the flames. Buoket bri
gades were formed, and from hand to hand
went the water to fight the fire.
The greatest pains were directed to sav
ing MeMane's building. Th offloera of
the bank were on hand, and with work as
well as word did all they oould.
The other places, whloh were small, one
story affairs, went up like so much tin
ier, and their content were destroyed al
together. One member of the volunteer force was
struck by a falling beam, and when he
was picked up, It was found that two ribs
hnd been fractured. He was taken to his
home, and a physician was called from the
soene of the fire to care for him.
The upper floors of MeMane's building
were occupied by IS families, the mem
bers of which were all sound asleep when
the alarm was given.
They had great difficulty In escaping,
some of them being forced to rush out In
their night clothing. All, however, man
aged to gxt out of the building without
Injury, hut they lost all their property.
The Passaio firemen reached Ruther
ford shortly before 8 o'olock this morning,
and soon thereafter th fir was under
oontrol.
The loss I estimated at fully $150,000.
One Dead, Another Dylnf, Others Missing,
Rutherford, N. J., Deo. 10. Not
merely a large amount of property, but
probably scvural lives were lost In the fire
In this place. It Is oertaln that one man
was burned to death. Three others, It Is
feared, shared his fate. One man Is dying
In the Hackensaok hospital, having cut
his throat, and a young woman la In dan
ger of death because of the death of her
father and the shook occasioned by seeing
a mnn attempt suioide.
Mr. Vorwald Is the man wbose body
has been taken from the ruin. He es
caped from the building with his wife at
the first alarm, but started back to obtain
from his room a leather trunk which con
tained hia insurance polioles and other
valtinblo papers. The three missing per
sons are a German, his wife and their
cliild, who oocupled the top floor of the
building and who have not been seen
since the fire, broke out. Their names are
unknown, as they moved Into tbe house
only last week.
The burned building was a mere brlok
shell, with tho Interior entirely of wood
and planter. It was five stories bigh and
2uu by 100 feet The ground floor was oo
cupled hy stores. The firemen had not
reached the scene when the flames were
enting thoir way rapidly through the flats.
There are water mains In almost every
street In the borough, but no hydrants as
yet, owing to a dispute between the
borough trustees and the Hackensaok Wa
ter company. The fire department Is a
volunteer one.
Many Narrow Escapes,
Sonroely one nf the tenants saved A sin
gle article of clothing except the night
robes they wore. The flame had broken
through tho roof within 30 minutes after
the fire was discovered, and 20 minute
later tho roof caved In, carrying with It
every floor to the cellar. The scarcity of
water and hose caused the firemen to be
badly hampered, and an appeal was sent
to Passlao city for aid. Two steamers and
a hose cart responded. Cisterns and any
thing else that could be utilized were
pressed Into service to furnish water for
the steamers.
The last man to leave the building, so
fnr as could be learned, was William Groof,
who llvod In one of the upper flats. He I
positive that the family whloh moved In
last week had not oomedown stair ahead
of him, and that no one left It after he did.
The work of delving Into the ruins was
speedily begun, and the badly oharred
body of Mr. Vorwald was found. Valen
tine George, who saw the body hauled
out, turned to a bystander and remarked,
"Well, I've nothing to llv for now!"
Then he walked away. He went dlreotly
to the residence of Mr. Prince, on Orient
way.
When he approached th house, Mrs.
Prince, who is a daughter of Mr. Vor
wald, and had not yet heard of her fa
ther's death, was sitting at one of th
windows In the parlor. She saw George
come tip the street. Th man stopped
when be reached tbe gate, took from on
of his pockets a shoeknlfs and drew It
across his throat. Mrs. Prlnoa fell, faint
ing, and when she revived a doctor had
to be summoned to attend her. She was
about to beoome a mother, and her condi
tion 1 critical. George was sent to th
Haokensack hospital, and hi recovery Is
doubtful.
It I thought from hi attempt on hi
life that he started the fir aooldentajly,
and remorse caused hi aot. Ha 1 S3
fears old and unmarried.
After tbe discovery of the body of Mr.
Vorwald the work of searching the ruins
was continued. Up to this evening no
trace of more bodies had been found, but
the work will be resumed this morning.
This Is tbe fourth big fire that ha
broken out In this plaoe on Sunday
night between 11 and 19 o'clock. The
tour fires are the only big one th borough
bus hud.

APACHES ARE ANGRY
THEY ARE REPORTED AGAIN ON THE
WARPATH IN ARIZONA.
Soldiers and Cowboys on the Trail A
Running Fight Near Dunean Fonr
White Men Killed In the Neighborhood
of Abandoned Fort Thomas.
Phfwix. A. T., Deo. 7. -Tho Apaches
have broken out again. This oannot be
denied any longer.
Last Thnrsdny morning, when Mr.
Morrill and his daughter were found mur
dered near Ash Springs, with tracks of
Indiana all around their bodies, the peo
ple of Gila valley were all but panlo strick
en, for they wore oertaln that the merot
less Apaches hnd again taken the war
path. The tracks were followed to a point
near Dunean. and soldiers and cowboy
are now soattered all through the Gila
valley In the hope of ooming upon the
murderers.
Ash Spring Is about half way between
Solomonvllle and Duncan, In Graham
oounty. Duncan la east of the springs.
The Indians traveled toward the settle
ment of the upper Gila valley from the
scene of the murder and had about 14
hours' start before the discovery was
made. The posse followed the trail In the
Stein's Peak range by way of the Horse
shoe canyon, a favorite plaoe In the past
for the Apaohes to flee to when pursued
after their raids and where many a pros
pector and rangor has beon ambushed.
Bodies of Fonr Hen Found.
Following this comes another report
from the Hps of J. S. Bush, a commission
merchant of this city. He states that he
was at Lordshurg, N. M., whloh Is only
IS miles from Stein's pass, and that
he saw a telegram notifying the pooplo
there that the bodies of four more white
men bad been found In the lower Gila
valley, near the San Carlos reservation
line and in the Immediate neighborhood
of Fort Thomas, which was al andoned
not long ago by order of the war depart
ment against the entreaties of the people
of that seotlon.
It Is fully 46 miles from Ash Springs to
Fort Thomas In a westerly direction.
This faot precludes any prosumptlon that
the band that killed the Morrilla are the
ones that murdered the four men. Henoe,
In the absenoe of knowledge to the con
trary, this appears to be an outbreak of a
much larger number of Apaches than any
one I willing to admit.
Mr. Bush says that the ponple In that
section are flying to arms and are terribly
wrought up. Largo bodies of men aro
scouring the San Simon and Plaza val
leys The troops from tho posts of Grant,
Huchuaca and Bnyard have taken the
field.
Yesterday there was a running fight be
tween tho Indinns and cowboys in tho
violnity of Duncan, and it is reported here
that sovcral of the Indinns were wounded,
but how many Is not known. Information
to this effeot was received here.
The cowboys aro wild over the recent
outrages, and they are dotormlncd to pur
sue the Indians as long as the trail Is In a
condition to be followed.
Soldiers Centura Apaches.
FonT Grakt, A. T., Doc. 9. The party
of White mountain Apache Indians who
are missing from thoir camp on the San
Carlos reservation and who aro supposed
to have murdered Morrill and his daugh
ter near Solomonvillo somo days ago, were
arrested and brought Into San Carlos
agoncy by a dotachmont of Captain Boll's
troops of the Sovonth cavalry and the In
dian polioo.
The party consisted of seven men and
a boy, all mounted and heavily armed,
two of them carrying cavalry oarbinos
that fit the Identical bullet which brought
Morrill and his daughter to their untime
ly end. The Indians claim to have been
hunting in the mountains, near Fort
Thomas, and the 60 miles from these
mountains to the Gila Bnnitn valley in
which Morrill and his dnughter were kill
ed 1 only n step for those wily Apachos.
They are being held under guard at Snn
Carlos for further investigation, but thore
Is very llttloedouht that Colonel Boll has
the true murderers.
A prominent cattle mnn at Fort Thom
as reports having seen a party of six or
seven Indians near tho trail lending to the
valley In whloh the killing took place.
Evidently these aro tho same Indians.
