Innocent Men in the PenItentinry.

CAMBRIDGE, o., April Some time
last year TWO men, named Thomas Stew
art snd Everett Heskel, were convicted
and sre now serving 3 term OF several
wears in the Ono Peritentjary, for the
somewhat notorious robbery Of jennie
Archer, near Cumberland, this county.
Since their conviction suspicion rested
on two other notorious characters,
whose names are Orange Petty and
Joseph O'Dsll, who were arrested yesier-
tay and brought here, and last night had
preliminary examination before JUS
tise Turner, the testimony being so con-
elusive that Joseph O'Dell confessed that
he and Petty were the guilty parties,
and that the two men ROW in the peul-
tentiary are entirely innocent of the
robbery.

The Wool section of the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Nationa!
Association Of Wool Manufacturers hiss
sent here protest against the wool sec
tion of the tariff bill. 1t is asserted that
the proposed changes destroy the imPor-
tsrt leature Of the existing Classification
now adopted by leading commercial
countries. 1t makes the rate OF duty on
wool depend wholly on value, causing 1t
to be too high on some classes and too low
on others. l; completely destroys the
nicely adjusted system Of compound
duties on manufactured wool, the only
system which enables manufacturers to
nsv without loss the duties on wool i'm
posed for the protection Of the wool
grower. For these aud many other res-
sons, tho Association asks that the pro-
posed bill be Getested.
