ed on General Negley's staff, and for some
years after the war took an active interest
in State and National politics. He was
delegate from the Presbyterian General
Assembly to the Edinburgh Conference IN

and a commissioner to the General Assem-
bly from the Presbytery of Pittsburg and
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
afternoon 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 famous advo'
cate. he was a citizen OF power IOT lhe
public good. a counsellor of the first rank
in judgmeut,a a scholar learned in the broad
est marches of the law"
The Dispatch said of him: "The death
of Major William B. Negley removes from
our midst 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
sideratious in the shaping of their lives
The Gazette said of him: ga 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, bust
ness, political and church matters 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 life of this community, affecting
many who did not even know the man
The grief of ais family and personal friends
in their bereavement will be shared by a
wide circle which will keenly feel the loss of
his counsel and assistance. Maj. Negley s
life is an object lesson in the results to be
attained by steady, persistent effort In
striving for better things.
Eva B Gibson, who graduated from
Shpperyrock Normal in 1892. died OF CON
sumption at 0calh, Fla, last Friday.
