ARDEN, N Y, Sept. 10-EdBard
H. Hartman, the greatest organizer OF
railroads the world has ever known,
met the only lasting defeat of his ac;
tive life yesterday, at the. hands OF
death. Secluded in his magnificent
home on Tower Hill, surrounded By
members OF his family, physicians and
nurses, ne succumbed to an intestinal
disorder yesterday afternoon, after a
fight against disease, which will rank
for sheer grit with his remarkable
struggles in the financial world.
The exact time of his death is
known only in that limited circle of
relatives and associates who had SO
effectively shielded Mr.. Hartman
from all outside annoyance during his
last illness. The time was given to
the world as 3:35 p. M, but MRS. Mary
Simons, sister of the dead man, said
last night that the end had come at
1880 more than two hours previous.
Whether this apparent discrepancy has
any bearfn gon the. current belief,
that every effort was made to lessen
the Influence of the financier's death
on the New York stock market. is
oblenatical. But 1T is significant
that the time of his death, as officially
announced was Just thirty=hYe minutes
after trading nad ceased on the ex=
change in New York.
The funeral service will be held at
$3.50 O'clock on Sunday afternoon. and,
it expected, will be strictly private.
Rev. DR.. j. Holmes Guinness, rector
st. Johns Church Arden, will conGmct
the funeral services. A short service
will be held at two O'Clock at the Ar
den house, when the procession of the
family and immediate friends will then
go to tine churcn. TIE services will
be simple and brief. The active pail
bearers who will carry the easket from
the church to the grave are g. T. Ford,

the estate; VIM. Robbins. superintends

estate. 1t was HarTi1nan's wish ffi1at
stnese men be the pail bearers. Tie
true cause OF his death will probably
never be known to the world even if
known to the physicians. Members,
of the immediate family declare there
was much conflict of the physicians on
the ] cal cause of death. NO autopsy

LAUGHS AND JOKES AS HE
GOES TO DEATH ON GALLONS
Pennsylvania Murderer Shows
Amazing Nerve at Execution.

SUNBURY, Pa, Nov. 19.-Cheerily
greeting all who spoke to him, laugh
ing and exchanging as seemingly happy
salutations as IL he were the one least
concerned in the crowd at the ganows,
Stanislaus Marcavich, the fourth man
executed out of 120 convicted of first
degree murder in Northumberland
county in a century, was hanged in the
Jail yard here. Denying mis- guilt up TO
the last, he nevertheless paid the penal
ty for the murder of Charles Yesolonis,
an aged cobbler, in Shamokin.
Spectators were %astonished at Marca-
vich's GOODNESS. AS he arrived at the
foot of the gallows he cast a quick
glance at the rope, and leaning against
a railing Of the gallows, listened sew
eral minutes to a prayer by several
priests and smiled at them. He kissed
the crucihx nd walked steadily up six
steps to the platform of the galiows,
and again looking at the rope, smiled
broadly at the sheriff as the latter adj
justed it about his neck.

GIRLS CHARGE AGAINST
PRINCIPAL STIRS TOWN.
BordentOwn Divided Over Hattie
AarOnsOn'S Story.

BORDENTOWN, Nov. 19.-Fifteen-
year-old Hattie Aaronson, the pretty
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton
A. Aaronson, is the most talled about
young parsonage in this town today.
The discussion she has aroused has, in
fact, assumed the proportions of a feud
between factions; and it is all about
the arrest ON Wednesday of Walter CT.
Penhollow, principal Of the local high
school, who was arraigned before Mayor
Isaac O.. Gabel on a charge preferred
by Hattie.
According to the complaint, the al
legged offense occurred in the office OF
the principal during he noon recess OF
the school session on October IS, when,
it is charged, Penhollow called the
Child from the line as she was leaving
the building.
HE. said things that were not nice
to me and | started to cry" said Hat
tie today. He made me promise not
to say a word to anybody, or to tell
what had happened. When 1 was late
for the afternoon session the princi-
pal gave me a note of excuse to my
teacher, Miss Bloomsbury"
Mrs. Aaronson, mother of the girl,
went away on a visit the next day. "A
week later she learned the story from
a %ncighbor. to whom Hattie had told it,
Mrs. Aaronson says she brought the
matter to the attention Of the MEM
bers of the Board of Education and, as
no action was taken. she had the war
rant issued.

REEVES DOG AND RABBIT
KILLED" BY ELECTRICITY.

NEW YORK, Nov. bly, reviving a
rabbit and a dog which had been pre-
viously shocked to death by electricity.
Or. Louise G. Robinovitch, a young
Russian 1 who came here from
France highly credited by. European
medical societies, has started a move
ment which it is believed will at least
result in the saving of the lives Of
many persons who have received pre-
su1nably fatal electric shocks. The
demonstration was given at ~thefrequest
OF officials of the New York Edison
Company. who say hat men are
shocked to death in their power houses,
DR.. Rebinovitch applied to the dead
rabbit an electric current of fourteeii
volts internationally at both ends of the
spine. This Rhythmic excitation' in
a few minutes resulted In restoring the
heart-beats and in twenty minutes the
rabbit was bounding friskiy about the
room.
The same result was reported in the
case of the dog, only a greater voltage
was employed, and it required a longer
time.
