PHILADELPHIA, Sept. pa special
from Salem, N. j., says that Howard
Sullivan, who has been in Jail there for
nearly a month, charged with the murder
of Ella Watson, to-day sent for the Sheriff
and made a full confession of his guilt.

might make would be used against him in
court, but ne replied that he did not care.
He said that he killed the girl to get
money which she had, so that he could go
on an excursion to Atlantic City, but he
denied the charge of outrage which had
been added to the crime of killing the
girl. Sullivan says that he came up be-
hind her, and killed her with a club be-
fore she knew Of his presence.

Union Pacific's Income Eaten up, How
ever, by its Branch Roads.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The annual
report of the Commissioner of Railroad
Accounts of the Interior Department, to
be handed to the Secretary of the Interior
early in November, will contain no very
startling information. 1t will say of the
Union Pacific that its main line earns
about $4,000 a mile, which it's branch
roads eat up, and that it is a question of
policy whether these branch roads should
be maintained. AS to the other roads,
the commissioner will note a severe
falling off Of receipts as compared with
last year, which he charges to competi-
tiOn, with the remark that there are too
many railways in the West for their own
good. Still, he will say that the Pacific
railways, on the whole, did fairly, and are
in better condition than last year. The
statistics, which will be given in the
report, are all within the reach of inyes-
tors, like most of its facts,

WRECK OF THEGuNBoATwAsP
Fifty-twO Souls Go Down to Death In
the Seething Seas Off Ireland.

the SeeCn1ng seas OIL Ireland.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The British gun
boat Wasp was wrecked off Tory Island,
on the northwest coast of Ireland, to-day.
Fifty-two persons were drowned. The
Wasp had registered tonnage of 465 tons
and carried guns. Among the lost are
all the officers. Only six persons were
saved. On the rocky coast where the dis
aster occurred, it was impossible to use
small boats in an attempt to rescue the
crew.
STRUCK A ROCK IN FOG.
The British man-of-war Valiant has
gone to Tory Island to render assistance
and obtain the details of the wreck of the
gunbOat Wasp. The weather was haZy
when she struck. About O'Clock in the
morning the officer OF the watch ordered
a sail to be set for the purpose
of steadying the boat, as lump
sea was on. His orders were being
carried out when the Wasp, which it is
surmised was out of her course, suddenly,
without the slightest warning, struck
upon a rock. The vessel rebounded into
deep water, and it was found upon eX-
animation that a gaping hole had been
made in her bow and that it would be inn
possible for her to keep atlOat. About
six of the crew who escaped did
so by clinging to wrecRage,
from which they were picked up by fish
ing boats. The Wasp foundered about
40 feet from the lighthouse, and her masts
are visible above the water, The survi-
vors, when rescued, were terribly eX-
hausted. They were taken to the light
house where they still remain. The sea
between the lighthouse and mainland is
very rough, and communication with the
former is almost impossible.

GRESHAM FOR SECRETARY.
He is Reported to Have Aeceded to Ar
thurs Repeated Offer.


thurs Repeated Offer.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-There was an
impression prevalent in well informed
circles this afternoon that the appoint
ment of Secretary of the Treasury may be
delayed for several days yet, based on the
fact that the office has been rendered to
some gentleman who has asked for time
to consider it. 1t is still asserted by some
that Postmaster General Gresham Will
be transferred to the Treasury Depart
ment, and that Mr.. Hatton will be placed
at the head of the Post Office Department.
According to this authority Mr.. Gresham
was asked to accept the Treasury port
folio soon after Secretary FOlger's death,
but said that he preferred to remain in
the Post Office Department. The Presi-
dent having subsequently urged Mr..
Gresham to accept the Treasury Secre-
taryship, it is most likely that he will.
The term of Mr.. Coon as Secretary of the
Treasury will expire at the close of busi-
ness tomorrow and no warrants can be
signed after that until the existing va
eancy is filled.

BLAINRs MARRIAGE NIUDDLE,

Rentucky's Marriage License Laws
Passed Two Years After His Second
Wedding.
The Boston Herald of Sept. 81 pub
fishes the following from John A. Ben
nett, a weIl-knOwn lawyer of Boston:
s'Again, Mr. Blame invites the confidence
of 5O,OOO,OOO Of people in one of his ex-
plantations and again with disastrous
results to himself. In letter to W. ".
Phelps. which it pains him so to write, he
attempts to unwind 'the thread of truth
running through what he had previously
called the utterly and abOminably false
statement of the Indianapolis Sentinel.
By this letter it appears that he
married his wife in Kentucky June 30,
1850. suppOsing the marriage perfectly
IegaI until the winter of 1851, when he
learned that by the laws of Kentucky his
marriage without a license was invalid.
Tbis knowledge so worked upon his appre-
bensions that in March, 1851, the mar
riare was recelebrated in time to remove
all doubts as to the legitimacy OF the chlld
which was born in June, 1851. This is
the exclamation. What are the facts!
That bT the laws of Kentucky and the
repeated decisions of its highest court ( .
Marshall, 372; Bush, 64), MIR. Blaine. s
marriage IN 1850, if then made, was perfect
ly valid. 4 license was not and never nau
been AN Indispensable requisite In that
State. Not till July, 1852, two years from
that date, did an act of the Legislature
become law making a marriage void
without license. Whence come those
dOubtss May not the legal counsel he
fancies he sought in 1850 have first been
sought in 1894 from a too careless ex-
animation Of the Kentucky statutesy The
cause assigned for all these misgiYings
we see could not have been the true one.
Is it possible that early marriage may be
as mythical as the assigned reason for the
