PATTIs0N AT THE HEAD
OF Worlds Fair Committee to Look Out
for q Gas and Oil Exhibit.

OF Worlds Fair Committee to Look Out
for Gas and Oil Exhibit
HARRISBURG, April 14-The regular
monthly meeting of the Worlds Fair Exc
cutive Committee was held in this city to-
day. Among the important items of busi-
ness transacted was the appointment of a
special committee to visit Chicago soon, for
the purpose of securing ground on
which to exhibit properly the great
coal and oil industries of the State.
The Committees on Mines and Mining
and on Oil and Gases have been refused such
space by the Committee on Grounds, the
reason alleged being that such an exhibition
would be dangerous. The committee ap-
pointed to visit Chicago consists of Governor
Pattison (Chairman), and Messrs. Wright,
Whitman, Mercur and Goblin. These gen.
tlemen will take detailed specifications of
the amount of ground they need and will
prove that the exhibit which Pennsylvania
desires to make in the coal and oil lines will
be interesting and perfectly safe.
A large number of bills we're passed, and
much routine work transacted. Tne report
from the Horticultural Committee was not
very satisfactory The subcommittee still
ask for $25, 900 appropriation, which the
Executive Committee consider entirely un-
necessary. The matter was discussed with
some warmth and then action postponed
indefinitely to see if the committee would
not come down to a more moderate
estimate. Architect Lansdale reported that
excavations had been commenced in Chi
cago for the State building. The contract
for it was approved.

BLINDED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Sad Accident to Prof. Campbell, OF Ann
Arbor University.

Arbor University.
ANN ARBoR, MICH, April 14.-Prof.
Edward D. Campbell, assistant professor of
metallurgy in the University, was made
completely blind by an explosion in the
chemical laboratory. He was working at a
table in the basement testing the amount of
hydrogen gas produced by the action of acid
upon steel filings. From large receiver
tubes led through smaller retorts into q
jar filled with spongy palladium. The gas
was forced into this through a slender tube
and there the hydrogen was absorbed and
the remainder of the gas was returned and
measured. The gas poured into the jar too
rapidly, causing an explosion.
Prof. Campbell, who was leaning over
the jar, was struck full in the eyes by the
flying glass. He turned, reeled, and ex-
claimed, ooh, my God, I am blind" and
fell into the arms of the students who stood
near. Dr.. Carrow, the professor Of eye
diseases, was hurriedly summoned and Prof
Campbell was taken to the hospital. The
right eye was found to be completely
shattered and full of broken glass The
cavity was at once cleaned out in order to
facilitate recovery. The other eye was cut
half in two by the flying glass, and all the
fluid had oozed out.
The professor showed great fortitude and
wanted to know the worst. When informed
that his eyesight was gone beyond recovery,
he exclaimed "Kill me, then. I don't
care to live. am not worth saving" At
last accounts the patient was resting quiet
ly. Prof Campbell is young man, not yet

children. He is the third son of Judge

preme Court

NEwsY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
BRADDoCK, April 14-"Come at once. "
Only three small words, but written on a
telegraph blank and addressed to DR.. B.
Frank Price, of this place, was sufficient to
startle that usually calm gentleman this
morning. It was dated Duquesne, and was
signed Drs. Bodkin and Black. Visions of
riot and bloodshed. or some terrible acci-
dent, danced before the doctors eyes as he
hurriedly answered the summons On ar.
irving at Duquesne he was conducted to tho
house Of John Verblosky, . Hungarian
laborer at the Duquesne steel works, who, q
few days since, had shot his wife (acci-
dentally, as he claims). The calling in Of
DR.. Price was for consultation.
The physicians were unable to extricate
the ball, which is lodged in the abdominal
cavity. 1t had entered the woman's back
two incnes to the left of the spinal column.
Peritonitis has developed. The result of
the consultation is the conclusion that the
woman viii die. Owing to her precarious
condition no statement could be gotten from
her as to the shooting The. husband. how
ever, made the following statement to DR..
Price:
On Monday after supper I was sitting in
the kitchen cleaning my revolver. NY wife
was washing the dishes. thought I had
taken out all the cartridges. don't know
how it happened, but the trigger slipped
between my fingers and the pistol exploded.
My wife, who was standing with her back to
me, was struck by the bullet and fell upon
her face. l ran out and called in the neigh
bors.
DR.. Price, who has had considerable ex-
perience among the Hupgarians in this
vicinity, is satisfied that Verblosky's YER
sion Of the affair is correct, as the mans
grief seems to be genuine. No one knows
of any discord between the couple. Yer
blosky was arrested but released on his own
recognizance. The Coroner will probably
investigate.

ROUGH ON HETHERINGTON.

A Man From Yokohama Says He Is a Cow.
ard-The Killing of Robinson Was Dis.
reputable-A statement That Throws
New Light on the Affair.
CHICAGO, April 14-Millard R. Jones, 9
New York lawyer and banker well-known
in Chicago society, arrived to-day at the
Grand Pacific on. his return from tour OF
nearly year in China and Japan. He was
at the same hotel with Lieutenant and Mrs.
Hetherington at the time the Lieutenant
killed young Robinson. and arrived IN
Yokohama with Robinson, with whom he
was we'll acquainted, just two days before
the tragedy. Mr.. Jones has an entirely
different opinion of the affair from that
generally held in the United States as the
result of reports circulated here.
cit was a cowardly, disreputabIe killing" I"
he said last evening. 81 am loyal Ameri-
can and defend my countrymen when
there is the slightest excuse for doing so.
Here, however, is a man who deliberately
goes up tc another and without giving him
a single chance at self-defense kills him.
Suppose Robinson was guilty, could not the
injured husband have challeged him, or a.
least given him warning that he intended to
take his life? The facts in the case, and
they are not generally known, make his
conduct all the more despicable. When
Mrs. Hetherington Joined her husband at
Yokohama after long absence the first
thing he did was to go to new clerk at the
Grand Hotel and ask him to keep q close
watch on his wife's every movement, as he
wished to find some ground on " hich to base
a divorce suit Nice sort af a man that, to

revenge for his wounded honor.
"Robinson was one of the most perfect
gentlemen have ever known. He spoke
nearly every Language, and for years held
position of vast responsibility in the most
powerful banking house in Japan. know
that he was not the sort of man to enter an
other household unless urged to do so by the
woman in the case, and it is certain that
this rule was not broken in this last affair,
if there was one. Had he been shot under
the same conditions in Hong Kong his as
sassin would have suffered the extreme pen
lalty of the law. As it is, he is acquitted
and the entire foreign population OF Yoko-
hama is split over it.
''The Americans say that Robinson ought
to have been riddled with bullets. They
hate the dead man, as near as I can find
out, merely because he wore q low collar,
looked comfortable and was the best enter
tainer in the city. His last words were
suggestive. 4 am sorry for Hetherington,'
he said. I hope they will not punish him
for this"

very often into the cafe.
When they finished their neat little "You
touch me and I'll plug your sparring ar
rangement on Tuesday night they were met
bya party of kindred spirits and proceeded
to make night of it. The kindred spirits
were "Parson" Davies, Peter Maher, steve"
Brodie, "Billy" Madden, Jere Dunn and ed
die" Conners. By s O'Clock they had pretty
nearly exhausted the gamut of converse
tional topics and the wine chest, and were
preparing to call cabs when Corners who is
notorious as q '.jollier," caught sight of a
little religious medal on Mahers vest lapel.
He made some airy remark about it, which
Maher replied to with sulphurous vehe-
mence. Conners retaliated by telling Maher
that he was a "bleeding coward" for giving
up in his recent fight with FitZsimmons,
liquor, rose and essayed to IDEAL him one."
Since Conners contracted his lung trouble,
he has always carried a dirk knife, and this
he whipped out with celebrity and jumped
for Maher. Jim Hall threw Maher ont of
harms way and "Parson" Davies arrested
Conner's uplifted arm.
"Blank. blank you." said Conners to
Davies, "I'll kill you for that"
"Oh! will you:" asked the "Parson,"
with an extra wide smile; "werl see about
that" and as he said ''that" he brought a
champagne bottle down full force ON Con-
ners' head. 1t fioored the consumptive, but
he jumped up and made for Davies again,
only to get another blow, which broke the
bottle and rendered Conners insensible.
Then the party broke up with wonderful
rapidity. Jim Hall was the only one who
stayed to play the part of the good Samari-
tan. He had been "done up" by the Parson
himself only a few months ago, and he re-
membered how it felt.
