A CONVICT LEGISLATOR.

HON. JNO. O'CONNOR MAKES A CONFESSION TO
THE ONO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
CINCINNATI, April 29.-ITon. John OCon-
nor late Democratic chairman of the mill
tary committee Of the Ohio house, to-day
appeared in his seat for the first time in ten
days, and rose to question of privilege.
For some time proof has been accumulat-
ing to the effect that he was Il deserter, a
bounty Jumper and an cX-convct of the
Michigan State prison. Several times he
has endcavored to resign, but the speaker
refused to lay his resignation before the
house until Thursday, when it was voted to
investigate his record. His speech to-day
was in the nature Of II confession of all that
had been alleged He said he had strlg-
| glcd tor ten years to elevate himself to Il
position. and make himself worthy of the
esteem of honest men; but all his efforts
had gone for naught. and an attempt was
now being made to drive him into the gut
ter lie denied the right of the house to
investigate his history previous to his be-
coming citizen of the United States. If
such an investigation should prove that his
conduct in the past had not been proper. il
could not do anyone any good and would
crush him forever. He threw himself on
the generosity of the house, trusting that in
their magnanmity they would not further
pursue man who was crippled in body
and poor in purse. At the close of hi,
speech he sank pale and trembling into his
chair, and tears rolled down his face. He
then left the house.

Especial Dispatch to the Tribunel
PITTsBURG. Pa, April 20.--The Supreme
Court of the United States to-day, as report
ed by the Associated Press, decided the case
of Mcister ct al, of Bay City, Mich, W.
Bissel ct al, of this city, in favor of plain
titfs. Meister died about " ar ago. About
scyenty-six acres of land are involved The
tarct is Il very valuable one. lying chiefly in
Lawrcncevillc and the East End A portion
OF the property is included in the Allegheny
cemetery. The Lucy furnace the Citizens
Passenger Railway property, the extensive
works OF the Kingston Bridge Company, the
brewery and estate of Benjamin Darlington,
and numerous business houses and private
dwellings are located on the property. The
original patent for the land was not granted
to the ancestral Mowrys, but it passed into
the hands of DR.. Mowry fifty years ago.
He bcqueathed it to his children, among
them William Mowry The entire amount
OF property in dispute is valued at about
s5,OO0O00. This, OF course includes III;
Improvements which would have to be APP
praiscdand paid for by the successful party to
the suit before the property could pass into
their hands. The romantic story of Will
liam Mowry's marriage may be briefly con-
denscd from the testimony taken at the trial
here in 1874. Some time about 1850 vii
liam Mowry, then trader in the Far West,
married Mary Cot-Ba Iou-Qut, Of the Cub
| Ba- Iou-Quit, at Kowkowlin, Mich. There
was no ceremony performed bya christian
| clergyman or authorized Magistrate. There
was ceremony however, according to the
testimony Of Rebecca Abram, Mrs. Mowry's
sister, in the style usual among Them Re
bccca swears that she was present at the
marriage; that Mowry asked the young
squaw's father for the woman whose claim
is now urged by Mester's heirs. Pero, the
old man who was father of Mary, appears
to have said only Ugh, much good"
Then Mowry gave him horse, barrel of
| flour, barrel of pork, shotgun. double
barrced, and wound up by kissing Mary
in the presence OF all, saying: You are my
wife,

there might be no chance of her retaining any
recollection of her early life. They were shown
the infants in the institution and finally selected
the child that Eaton found. The necessary pa
