Harrisburg Notes.

II
On Thursday last the new tax bill pass
| ed second reading in the House. Part
| lines were broken and it was a case of tn
country members against those from tn
| city. A correspondent for a city pape
states it this way.
Farmer Taggart's hay wagon continued
its triumphal march through the House to
day, and the Philadelphians who tried Il
stop it were left in the condition of tn,
fellow who, when he was run over, yelle.
"whoav so loud and long that the oxen no
only stopped, but backed.and ran the car
over him again. The friends of tax reform
even reconsidered and defeated the only
amendment the city people have engrafted
in the bill, that exempting musical lnstru
ments, and henceforth even the psaltery
the sacklent and the harp must bear theil
share Of the public burdens.
The pend.lg amendment, to exempt ma
chinery, was defeated, as was that to ex-
empt merchandise bought er consigned
with view of selling the same at a profit
The statement that the latter clause was
contrary to the Uniten States Constitution
was laughed to scorn, and when the Phlla-
delphia delegation made their last fight on
a proyiso that the bill should not apply to
cities of the first-class they were routed by
a vote which made them look lonesome.
A Committee Of five was appointed to
investigate the amounts expended BY each
of the Soldiers Orphans schools between
the years, rs and SO. Captain Skinner, of
the Soldiers Orphan School Commission,
said that in the two years the Commission
had managed the schools it has reduced the
anual cost per pupil from $14O to$l26, leav
ing surplus in its hands of $140,O 600 In
addition To this balance the Commission
asks for an appropriation for the next two
years of $123, 900 or 1927, 900 less than was
appropriated last session.
The bill refunding to W. A. Kemble
the 1888, 900 advanced by him for the Johns
town sufferers, passed the House finally.
The bill regarding the pollution of
streams came up in the House, Monday,
and it was amended so as to exempt from
its provisions the refuse of drilling, pump
ing producing oil or gas wells, paper mills,
saw mills tanneries or manufactures.
Several Butler county oil producers were
in the galleries of the House at the time.
Quite a number of new bills were intro
duced that day, and among them one by
Senator Showalter creating State Board
of Medical Examiners and Licensers. Sen.
Harlan introduced bill providing for
new library and department DuIding COST
ing half million, and for making improve
ments in the old Capitol building.
On Wednesday forty members of the
Legislature were down with the grippe,
and resolution for an adjournment tor ten
days beginning with Thursday, passed
both houses.
The Franklin amendments to the Brooks
Retail license law were killed In the Sen
ate, but it looks as though some OF the
changes asked for in the wholesale law
would pass.
The House on Wednesday put in five
hours discussing. the Road bill.

JOHN NEGEEY.

From the above it will be seen the late
John Negley was the direct successor to
the Cunninghams in this first mill property,
purchasing same as appears in 1906 He
owned and carried it on for near thirty
years. During this time he added to it
large woolen mill, which was operated
by bro:her-in-law of his, the late Mr..
Malachi Richardson, favorably mentioned
in the early history Of the town. He also
established near the mill a cabinet making
shop, in which we have been told the late
Robert earn ahan, Esq, and the late Mr.
Norbert Foltz, were his principal workmen
for some years. He engaged also in differ
ett other kinds ofbu-iuess, among them the
mining of coal The mill at tho time of
bis purchase and during time Of Cunning
hams, appears to have been the center

Remarkable Crimes.

Some remarkable crimes have lately
been committed in Western Pennsylvania.
The shooting of Detective Gilkinson in AL
legheny Co. last Saturday, and the subse-
quent developments regarding the careers
of Fitzsimmons and his female partner in
crime are astonishing. Fitzsimmons is
said to come of a wealthy and respectable
Canadian family. He is smart and well
educated man, and seems to have adopted
crooked methods from a natural inclina-
tion. Among respectable people he was
frank and entertaining gentleman, and at
the same time he was the leader of a gang
of crooks, and when cornered promptly
took the life of the man who run him down.
His chief accompIce in crime was woman
named Hill, the former Laura Snowden Of
the Mercer Soldiers Orphans School, a
soldiers orphan, granddaughter of John
Camp Of the old Camp hotel at Rochester;
a prepossessing and modest typewriter in
day time, and q wanton prostitute and
blackmailer at night.
The developments in the case at Frank
lin, Pa, are also astonishing. Some two
years ago the body of Mary Tobin,a daugh-
ter of merchant tailor of Franklin, was
found floating in New York bay, and foul
play was suspected. Mr.. Tobin put de-
tectives on the case, has worked at it ever
since, and remarked lately that he was
getting very close to the parties who
caused his daughters death, and who are
supposed to be persons who stand high in
that town. On Sunday morning last his
house in Franklin was burned, and in the
ruins Mr. Tobin's body was found with
wounds on it indicating murder, and many
people there are reported as believing that
the parties who made way with his daugh
ter have caused him to be murdered and
his ho1se burned to conceal the crime.
The Beaver Falls case is also worth
noting. 1t was q case of married man o.
heretofore good reputation, requiring 9
young girl that he had seduced to aid him
in a robbery, and it is pitiable case also,
as the girl confessed when cornered, ther
took poison, and is now at deaths door.
IT is reported that the Northwestern
free-silver Republicans haYe agreed upor

THE call Of County Chairman Huselton
for meeting Of the County Committee on
Monday, April Goth, at IL o'clock a. m,
appears in this week paper. The purpose
of the meeting is the fixing of the date oi
the Republican primary, and the disposal
OF such other business as may be brought
before the committee.
There are two Jury Commissioners to
elect this year-one from each party-and
the best men who offer should be selected.
The important matter, however, for the
party, is the selection of delegates to the
State Convention. The management OF
the party in the State during the past few
years has not been satisfactory to the rank
and file of the party, and an effort should
be made to improve it.
Two important State oficers-Treasurer
and Auditor General-are to be elected
this year; this election will probably have
an influence on the Presidential election Of
next year, and therefore representative
Republicans, and none other, should be
placed ON the State ticket.
