A Remarkable Dog.

Few people who travel on the London,
Brighton & South Coast Railway, know what
distinguished character has n free pass on
every branch of the line. of which for several
years he has taken daily advantage. Ii is
between two and three years ago that fox
terrier big in bone, and not over well bred,
jumped into train that was leaving Brighton
for lIorsham, and settled himself in the
guards carriage Little notice was taken of
him at first but after n time he began To be
person of great interest. No one knew where
he came from or where he belonged. but
every day he was ready for an early start in
an early train. Sometimes he went to Ports
mouth, sometimes to lIorsham, sometimes
only to nearer stations but the most remark
able part of his arrangements was that he al
ways got to Brighton in time to go by the last
train to Lewes. where he always slept, leav-
ing again by the first train in the evening.
When the friend from whom first heard this
story fand who vouches for the truth of it)
last heard Of Jack he still continued this prac-
tice. and always spent the night at Lewes sta
tion. About year and a half ago the Lon
don, Brighton & South Coast Company began
to look upon him as one of their regular ser
wants, and presented him with a collar bear
ing this inscription: 'Jack-London. b., &
S. Coast Railway Company" NV friend told
me that on one occasion some months ago he
traced Jacks movements on one especial day.
and probably it was a good sample of many
another. He arrived from Brighton by u
| train, reaching Steyning at 1850; there he
got out for minute, but went on by the same
train to Henfield. Here he left the train and
went to public house not far from the sta
ton, where biscuit was given 10 him, and,
after a little walk. took a later train to West
Griusted. where he spent the afternoon, re-

Executed When Innocent.
Tbs STORY OF A WOMAN WHO Is SAID To
HAVE CONFESSED TO NUMBERING MAN.

The people of Princess Anne. Crisfield and
other parts of Somerset County. Maryland,
are greatly excited over the reported confes.
sion Of a woman who is now on her deathbed
of having murdered man eighteen years
ago. Two negroes were executed for the
crime in 1880. The murder occurred some
time during the latter part of 1862, the vic
tim being Azariah Dougherty, who was found
dead in his store. As was then supposed,
his money was the incentive to the crime.
Suspicion rested upon two colored men, who
were arrested soon after the murder was per-
petrated; but no money was found in their
possession. and none could be found about
the premises of Dougherty. 1t was general
lv supposed that some other party or parties
were accessory TO the crime, but time failed
to unravel the mystery, and the men arrested
were soon after placed on trial for murder,
and found guilty and sentenced 10 be hanged.
The evidence upon which they were con-
victed was purely circumstantial, all efforts
TO show directly that they committed the
crime having failed. The strongest evidence
connecting them with the murder is said to
have been the finding in the pockets of one
of the accused of a knife, that it was shown
belonged to Doughcrty. On the scatiold
both men solemnly protested innocence
down to the moment when the fatal drop
fell, and one of them, in speech from the
gallows, declared himself guiltless of the ter
rible crime, and said that the perpetrator of
the murder would be discovered in less than
twenty wears, and that he wouldn't be found
to be black man, either.
The story of the crime and execution had
long since been almost forgotten, but the re-
ported confession made public now has re-
vived il and aroused the curious interest ofall
familiar with the tragedy and the subsequent
startling developments. The woman who is
reputed to have made the startling confession
is a Mrs Patty A. Ward, living few miles
from Crisfeld. She is suffering from ter.
| rible cancer, which has placed her beyond
all fear of human law, and her confession is
believed to have been prompted by knowl-
edge of her approaching death and the fear
of entering into the presence of her Maker
without having confessed her crime. IL is
understood that she has given TO her friends
a full detail of the horrible affair, in which
she discloscs the fact that she. together with
her son, murdered Mr.. Doughcrty for his
money. The son died few years ago, and
a short time before his death il is said he ex-
pressed IA wish to disclose somethng--as it is
believed. his share in the crme-but that
Mrs Ward prevented him doing 81 by plac-
ing her hand over his mouth. There are
many rumors in circulation about the whole
affair, one heinV to the effect thst the friends
of the dy ing woman won't allow her contes
sion to be given to the public until after her
death has taken place.
