The 6tarkweather Murder Trial
Another COnfe6sion.

The Hartford Conn., papers publish q
second confession by Albert L. Stark
weather, who has been convicted of the
murder of his mother. The confession,
although known to the State Attorney,
was not used by him on the trial, as it wa
given under q promise that it would not
be used against him:
On the day of the funeral the prisoner
was visited in the Hartford Jail by q
deputy sheriff in Manchester, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining his feelings in refer
ence to the funeral of the Yietims-whether
he would like to attend it, &c. He ascer-
tanned that the prisoner would not be per-
mitted to attend it; and the visitor-who
had long been an intimate friend-asked
him to tell the truth about the murder.
Starkweather replied, "You will take it
over there and use it against me. l con-
fessed to Campbell, and tina. id Sound
rel has used it against me-" His visitor
gave him q solemn promise that he would
keep it an inviolate secret. On this CON-
dition Starkweather unfolded the truth.
His confession, correctly given, is this:
A short time previous to the murder,
his mother had, ut his repeated request,
given him q deed of her homestead and
farm-he giving his note and a mortgage
for 81, 800, which it was agreed should go
for the benefit of his sister; that he went
to Rockville and got a lawyer to execute
a deed of the premises to Miss Campbell
and on the Saturday evening before the
butchery, his mother learned this fact from
his own lips and became much dissatisfied,
telling him he had no right to do this, and
going to the drawer in which it was locked,
tore up the deed which she had signed,
but which had not been recorded that an
gry words followed between him and his
neither, ending in a threat that he would
be revenged On her; and from that mo-
ment until he struckthe fatal blows he did
not give up the idea of killing his mother;
that he killed his mother first, hoping to
be able to escape before his sister, who was
living on the back side of the bed, was
awakened; but that his sister rose up and
sprang toward him, recognizing him, as ne
supposed and that he cut her down in
to destroy the living witness to his
vet Of murder. s'e GA u

The Hudson Bay TerritOry-Canada's
Inevitable Destiny Acknowledged
in England.
[City article London Times, Jan. 49,

[City article London Times, Jan. 49,
A pamphlet, by a shareholder of the
Hudson Bay Company, entitled "a Mil
lion-Shall we take it I" discusses the ex-
pediency of c~onsenting to a sale of the
Territory for the million sterling, which
it is thought the Canadian government,
with the offer of an imperial guarantee,
are about to offer for it. The writer is
strongly against the transaction and
brings forward a series of facts to prove
that the proposed sum would be altogether
inadequate. Unless his arguments, how
ever, produce a sufficient impression on
the investing public to carry the market
price of the S2o shares from fle to some
thing above par, there can be no doubt
the shareholders will disregard them, since
the offered million, together with the
tangible remaining assets, would appar-
emily raise the value of the company's
property to that point. The writer men,
tions a belief that q combination of
American capitalists could be found to
offer much more for it, and is of opinion
that the shareholders are entitled % look
for the highest bidder, whether British
Canadian, American or Russian. In this,
under certain obvious reservations, he is
correct. Patriotism, like philanthropy,
in business is rarely anything more than
a pretence, and is nearly always g mis-
take. If the American can turn the ter
ritory to better account than our own
people for the great uses o humankind, it is
desirable they should be permitted to do
so; and, in any case, it is certain that all
political attempts to prevent the country
from being settled by those who are best
adapted for the work must, by engeBder-
ing perpetual irritation, prove worse than
futile.

Bennett is sole swner of the Herald.
The Tribune is owned by stockholders, of
which DR.. james Q. Aver, of Lowell, is
the heaviest. Samuel Sinclair, the pub
Usher, is also M of its largest owners,
while Stephen 7. Clark, the writer Of tho
money articles, and Horace Greeley, are
interested to large amount. The capital
stock is $780, 900. The organization of the
Tribune editorial staff is as follows: The
e~ditor-in-chief is Horace Greeley; Sidney
Howard Gay is the managing editor
the executive head of the concern. Cool,
able, courteous and energetic, he has not his
equal in the State. Rodrick Crane is the
news editor, j. H. Hasser, the night editor,
I. N. Browne, thecity editor. The financial
department is under the charge of s. T.
Clarke, one of the ablest fnanciers. Scion
Robinson edits the department of agricul-
ture. George Ripley, at n time one of
the most eloquent preachers in Boston, is
the literary editor. William Winter is
the theological, Henry @. Watson, the
musical, and Clarence Cook, the art
editor. The corps of editorial writer's EN-
braces such names as Congdon, Smally,
Young, and Wilkinson. Al Cummings
edits the weekly and semi-weekly. Myron
Fox reads all copy, to prevent a repeti-
ton in the paper; and D. K. O'Donnell
keeps the index. In addition, the Tribune
has a corps ofl5 reporters, second TO none
in the land. These are detailed for spe-
.cial duty or the police, at fires, at the
stock and produce board, on the dry
goods market, in the courts, or at Brook
Ign, at Jersey city, and all along shore.
The principal owners Of the Times are
Leonard w. Jerome, james B. Taylor,
Henry ]. Raymond, George Jones, the
publisher, and Christopher Morgan, of
Methodist fame. During Mr.. Raymond's
absence, F. j. Otterson, formerly of the
7ribuns is the managing editor, as he is a
writer of superior abilities. The World
is conducted by Manton Marble, and he is
the largest owner of the concern. Of the
younger journalists Of New York there
are several of great promise; among
them Thomas A. Kenneth, of the World,
Daniel K. ODonnell, Of the Tribune, and
Augustus Maverick, Of the Evening Post.
The best editorial writers, and each mimi
in his way, are George Wilkes, of
the Spirit Of the Times, Sidney Howard
Gay and Charles 7. Congdon, of the Tri-
bune, William H. Hurlburt, Of the World,
and Charles Nordhof, Of the Evening Post
The best American political statistician
connected with the press, is proba-
bly, Horace Greeley; and the next best is
Franklin J. Otterson, managing editor of
he Times, though Thomas G. Sherman,
4 lawyer, is a perfect ~cyclopedia of politi-
,al knowledge, and is a very useful man

After things got quiet, the Snowman

"Perley," the correspondent of the
Boston Journal, writes from Washington,
as follows: e
About a fortnight since, as the Lieuten-
ant General was driving overfrom George
town to Washington, a butchers cart,
drawn by a grey horse, came up alongside
at a fast gait. Now, the Lieutenant Gen
eral has a weakness for fast travelling, so
he spoke to his horse "Cincinnatus," ex-
pecting to give the meat wagon the go-by
easily. But the grey nag pelted away,
and although the Lieutenant General and
"Cincinnatus" tried to "fght it out on
that line" they were beaten in going one
block, and distanced before having reached
the second cross-street. From that mo-
ment the ~conqueror of the rebellion deter
mined to W the nag that had out
trotted "Cincinnatus," and all his per-
sonal friends were soon enlisted in the
movement to purchase this unknown
steed. Chadwick, of Wizards Hotel,
was the fortunate discoverer of the gal
liant grey, which, on a quiet trial, proved
faster than the experienced eye of the
Lieutenant General had supposed. The
nag had been bought at a sale of con-
demned horses, and was obtained of its
owner for $3.50. Hencoforth, instead of
plodding along with a load of meat or
cabbage, the grey trotter will be harnessed
to the light wagon of the Lieutenant
General, and it is predicted that it will
him to show his friend Bonner as
good time as he was treated to in New
York. .r5a s.9z -
