A very remarkable spectacle was Wit
messed in the New York Legislature few
days ago. The clerks of the two houses
had received free passes from all the rail-
roads OF the state for the members, and as
their names were called out these law
makers Of the Empire state unhlusbingly
walked up 10 the clerks desk ard took
their brides like little men. 1t is prob
able that they thought that they would
avoid criticism ydoing openly what they
had been accustomed 10 10 secretly. 1t
; a pity that the people OF every state
haven't sufficient courage to vote against
every man who seeks public Office wbnwiH
not pledge himself not to accent no favors
from corporations. What would the feel
inzs OF the members of the New York
legislators have been if they had found
in the envelopes they received from the
clerks sums OF money equal in value
to the raj road passes? Would they
have accepted the money? and if SO. on
what ground would they have JUSTIFIED
taking it, And yet the railroad passes.
in he estimation Of tire railroads ana Of
the legislators. were understood To be 50
much money Whic1 tie railroads were
willing to pay TO prevent hostile legisls-
ton. Each New York legislator is
allowed Zoe. mile gong to and returning
from the state capital--ahout five times
as much as the actual cost-and the
Legislators take il Notwithstanding they
ride on the railroads free. DO not they
deserve 20 have the ingerof scorn pointed
at them?

A Murdercss Confesses.

A telegram from Point Pleasant,
Mason county, this State, says:
Mrs. Sarah Wolfe, one of the five
persons arrested here for the murder
of Green Hazelwood and the I'M
Known pedler last fall, in Arbuckle
district, this county, made a comics
sion to-day. She stated that her
husband and his two brothers. John
and Charley, killed the pedler for
the purpose of robbery, and that his
body was buried. A few days after
forwards, however, fearing detection,
they cxhumed the remains and burn
ed them on fire in the woods.
Afterwards they murdered Hazel
wood, stripped his body naked and
hung the remains to a tree in the
woods to give people the idea he had
committed suicide while insane.
Since the murder the families of the
men have been decked out in jewelry
in great profusion, obtained from the
pedler's effects, and have been also
selling jcwelry to the neighbors.
The confession has created intense
excitement throughout this county.
The prospects that all five will snf-
fer the death penalty is very good.

DECIDING AWAY MANY MILLIONS.
John Dubois, the Lumber King, Leaves
His Property to His Nephew.

Dubois Dispatch.
A deed was placed on record at
Clearfeld recently conveying by John
Dubois, the millionaire lumberman of
Dubois, to John f. Dubois, his neph-
ew, his entire estate in Dubois, Will
Transport, West Virginia, and else
where, together with all moneys in
bank, for nominal consideration,
The property conveyed is estimated
at from three to five millions. 1t is
principally located at Dubois where
Mr. Dubois mills are, and some
twenty thousand acres of timber
land, the finest tract in the State.
Mr. Dubois has been in very bad
health for number of months. His
case is hopeless and death is likely
to ensue at any time. The deed
conveying the property was made
over two years ago, but had not been
placed on record. 1t was not intend
ed to be made public until after Mr..
Dubois death, but he changed his
mind. John f. Dubois assumed
control of the property yesterday,
which will be conducted without
material change. Thejunior Dubois
is in his twenty fifth year, and is a
young man of integrity and CONVEX
SAINT with the business. He takes
hold with modesty and firmness
that is commendable, and there is
the best assurance that everything
will move off nicely.

ticing possible displays in their

Brutal Cruelty in Richie County.

Last Monday week Wesley Jones,
ten years of age, who was living
with John Cross, in Richie county,
disappeared from his home under
such as to cause
suspicion of foul play. Mrs. Cross
had whipped him brutally for run
ming away, and having him in the
kitchen of the house, naked, and
seeing her husband coming, told him
that Cross would not only beat him,
but shoot him. This so terrified the
child that he grabbed his shirt, and,
springing through the window, ran
Oft, with Cross after him. From that
time until Saturday afternoon his
whereabouts was a mystery. Cross
protested to know nothing of him,
and half the country finally became
intensely excited. It'seemed very
mysterious affair, and the fact that
a dog disappeared at the same time
with the boy added to the mystery.
People boldly said that Cross had
killed both--the dog to keep the
place where he hid the boy from be-
ing discovered. Parties were organ
lied and the country secured and riv-
ers dragged.
Late on Saturday the child was
heard from in part of the county
miles away from Cross's. He had
slept in fence corner for night or
two, attired in nothing but his shirt.
with the dog for companion, and
finally took up his abode in a school
house, where he was found and cared
for. He was taken back to the resi-
dence of Cross, where there was an
immense crowd Of men, and gave a
history Of his adventures. The
marks ON his back showed that his
terror was not without cause. The
child is the son of Mrs. Elzara Jones,
widow. She left him with Cross
to work and be maintained. The
affection of the animal for the boy
was strong, and he staid with him
day and night, lying close to the
child when he slept and keeping him
warm. Had it not been for the
counsels Of few men, Cross and his
wife would have been severely pun
