LONDON, March Major Sanderson
the leader of tho Irish Unionists, in a
speech in the House of Commons last
night, expressed himself as amazed at
the recklessness of the Times in accept
ing the evidence of Pigott.
Nobody, he said, would hang dog on
Pigott's evidence. If the commission
had gone further back, he thought, they
could have made much stronger re-
port. In the course of his remarks
Major Sanderson accused John Dillon of
manning cattle, whereupon Parnellite
member shouted Liar"
Major Sanderson then asserted that
the Parnellite members had made
speeches intended to shield them from
criminal responsibility and for this
statement he was called to order by the

A CRUEL CANARD.
No Truth In tho Reported Death-B cd
Confession Of John @. Henderson.

No Truth in tho Reported Death-B cd
Confession OF John @. Henderson.
NoRaIsTowN, Pa, March THE sen0a-
sational account published in two Phil
adelphia papers of death-bed confess
sion, alleged to have been made by John
G. Henderson, of his having murdered .
DR.. lowering twenty years ago, are en-
tirely without foundation. Henderson
died four years ago at his home in Har-
risburg.
His widow yearly visits her many
relatives and friends in Lower Marion,
where she and her husband were al
ways held in the highest repute. No
suspicion was ever breathed against
their domestic felicity, and the whole
story published was a cruel canard.
Tho Sensational Article that is Denied.
YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, March CATER "a
years the mystery surrounding the as
sassination of DR.. Joseph H. Levering,
of Lower Merton, has been cleared up
by the death-bed confession of John
Tuesday evening.
The murder was one of the most noted
of it's day by reason of the sensational
features surrounding it.
February 10. 1865, DR.. lowering was
in the act of putting away his horses
for the night. and while going out OF
the stable the report of gun was
heard from behind q stone wall, within
ten feet of the door in which the doctor
stood.
The unusual report of a gun within
the yard Of the dwelling aroused the
family, and the lifeless body was found
two minutes after the shooting.
Alarm and excitement drew q
large crowd that evening, and
every householder joined in scour-
ing the neighborhood for the
assassin, Henderson assisting his neigh
bors. An inquest was held, but with
out result
On Tuesday, Henderson being sick and
fearing that he was to die, called his
family to his bedside and in tho pres
ence of the family physician confessed
to killing DR.. lowering in cold blood.
He described the tragedy infinitely.
Henderson expired little before mid
night.
He gave no reason for his bloody deed,
and the confession has caused as much
of an excitement ae did the crime itself.

For "merry" S the word on Saint Valentines
day!
There's ring ut the door bell oh, answer it do
Some one, perhaps, with o message for,youi
Tied with ribbon and scaled with q ring,
Who can have sent it, tho daintiest thingi
Open 1t carefully, what have We hero!

Rosies and posies symbols and hearts,
Cupid himself with his CULVER Of darts
Cupid, who's hiding his round roguish fnce
Meath wee curtain Of fine tissue lace
Some one hos thought of you isn't it fine!
Some one has sent you a fond valentine.
Her Answer.
The moon had vailed her silvery face
Behind heecy cloud,
The brook that rippled at our feet
Foreboro to murmur loud;
As, with my soul upon my lips,
Imade the old, old plea,
And waited for the fateful words
That changed the world for me.
The moon looked out again and smiled
The brook resumed its song
And through my veins the blood leaned wild
In pulses glad and strong;
Around her plump waist crept my arm,
Impeled by Natures law,
When from those sweet lips fell the words:
You'd better speak to paw" -
