Ada Sweet, the Chicago Pension
Agent, on the Stand.

WASHINGTON, MAY S.-MiSs Ada G.
Sweet, Pension Agent at Chicago, testi-
fed before the Committee on Civil Ser
vice this morning in relation to the
charge of paying money for her position
as Pension Agent. She testified that
she was All applicant for the position,
and in consideration of receiving the
appointment agreed to pay David Blake
ly, the Pension Agent So, 100. She was
directed by him to pay the money over
to B. II. Campbell, then as now United
States Marshal for that district. When
she had paid the 50, 100 she notified
Blakely and Campbell that she had per
formed her part of the contract; but
Campbell told her that that was not cor
rect; that he had a note against Blakely
for So, ,000 and that she was to pay the
whole of that note. Witness stated that
Campbell is Gen. Babcock's father in-
law. Considerable correspondence pass
ed between all the parties on the subject.
BIakely was also defaulter as pension
agent in the sum of three thousand dol
lars; when he turned the office over to
Miss Sweet, he turned over to her $37,
600 and induced her to give him a re-
ceipt for $40, 900 to cover up his deficit,
and promised to attend to it in few
weeks. He did not do so, and when the
office was visited by an official from the

whole story. The agent told her that he
would delay an examination of her office
until he was on his return trip, so as to
allow some further time for paying this
deficit. One day after the Minnesota
election General J. I'll. Baker, Missouri
Commissioner of Pensions, and Blakely
came into her office and demanded that
the So, 900 deficit be paid that day, and
charged it upon her as her own deficit.
She went to Campbell, and between
them the amount was raised. Camp
bell gave her his note for about 81 $50
which she Endorsed and got discounted,
and she raised the balance. Blakely and
Commissioner Baker were great friends,
and Baker knew of the arrangement
she made with Blakely. When the Presi-
dent found out that she was paying for
her appointment, he notified her that a
continuance of it would be sufficient

Save Your Soansuds.

So Who would throw away a barrel
full of soft soap or a box of hard
soap? Were it not otherwise use
full, it would be of great value as q
fertilizer. if spread, in its raw state,
about our fruit trees or berry bushes.
But, after being dissolved in water
and and passing through the wash
tub, cleaning the impereeptible ele-
ments of the best nature from soiled
linen, its fertitizing power is vastly
Increased. Indeed we may almost
say that the average soapsIds from
the kitchen and laundry is worth
more than the soap which produces
it. do not, then, allow your soap
suds to run away wasted, while you
have trees which it might benefit.

Confession of the BeIfry MUIR
.e derer. @

Boston, May st is reported
that Piper has confessed to the mur-
der of Mabel Young, and also to
that OF the Landregan girl, of which
he was suspected at the time. two
years ago. His confession has not
yet been made public. His counsel
i'm the Supreme Court this morning
said that he would not press the mo-
tion for new trial in view of a con-
versation he had had with Piper.
Judges Colt and Lord thereupon
overruled the motion. The an
nouncement that Piper had con-
fessed himself the murderer of a
child and a young woman caused
great excitement this morning. 1t is
quite certain that Piper was the as
sailant of Mary Tynor, mysteriously
beaten July L, 1874, and now an in
mate of the lunatic asylum. He says
that the murder of Mabel Young and
+ Bridget Landregan were prompted
ibv stimnlants, under the influence of
which he had an insane desire to
shed blood. yHa aseaE fFo

Belknap is now fairly on his trial.
The court of impeachment, as we an
jticipated, has taken under discussion
the preliminary plea of jurisdiction.
There is no doubt of Belknap's guilt.
We presume there is not a member
Of the court who, upon the merits of
the case. after his confession. would
dare to declare him innocent. But
there is technical point to which
we have heretofore called attention,
and that is the question as to wheth-
er impeachment applies to a public
officer after resignation. The gen.
eral concurrence on the part of SEN
ators in Belknap's guilt may control
their Judgment on this preliminary
question: Still we shall not be sur.
prised to hear that the court has suss
tanned the plea of the defendant and
given him technical discharge
