ALLEGED CONFESSION.

der of his Brother, for Which Crime He
Now Awaits Trial.

BY Isaac Sawtelle in Regard to the Muir
der of his Brother, for Which Crime He
Now Awaits Trial.
Boston, April 1.-THE Globe pub
fishes what it claims to be a confession
by Isaac Sawtelle to his counsel in re-
gard to the murder of his brother Hiram,
for which crime Isaac is now in Jail at
Dover, N. III. Isaac says that he and
Hiram's wife conspired to lure Hiram to
an abandoned camp at Lebanon, Me-,
where he was to be held captive by the
notorious DIR. Blood, and the ex-convict
Jack (who has been suspected of con-
nection with the crime) until he should
relinquish in writing all claim to his
fathers estate.
Isaac decoyed Hiram to Rochester, N.
H., and drove him to point near the
Lebanon camp, where he turned him
over to Jack and knew nothing further
until he received word at Portland that
it had been found necessary to kill
Hiram and that every man of the trio
must look out for himself. The murder
was committed in Maine by Blood and
Jack, according to this confession, the
genuineness of which remains to be
established

ness of the Pilot of n Steamer.
EAST SAGINAW, Mich, April 14.-A
dozen passengers were killed or badly
injured by pilots carelessness on the
Saginaw river yesterday. The steamer
Handy Boy, with large number ofpas-
sengers on board, left here in the after
below to collect fares and left the wheel
in the hands of his fireman, Edward
Trump. High water has made the cur
rent in the river unusually rapid and as
the boat swung toward the Flint g. Pere
Marquette railroad bridge Trump lost
control of the wheel and the boat
headed directly for low span in the
center of the bridge. Those on the boat
saw their danger, but not until the
bridge had been almost reached The
boat struck the iron girders and passed
sweeping the upper deck, cabin and
passengers into the river.
Passengers below deck escaped with
more or less serious injury, but at least
six who were above were drowned or
killed by the collision. Several died in
the wreckage in sight of those on shore.
At least fourteen persons were thrown
into the river. Only seven were rescued.
Among the missing are Miss May
Haight, aged twenty-five, and Mrs.
Catherine Nevins, mother of Rev. Fa-
ther Nevins, of Bay City. Captain Dob
son, who was in command, his engineer,
George Little, and Trump, the man at
the wheel, are in Jail, charged with
criminal carelessness. The Handy Boy
has carrying capacity of seventy-fve
passengers and over sixty were on board
when the accident occurred.

1t Returns to It's owner After Neariya
Quarter of n Century.
Frederick Mather superintendent OF
the New York State Fishery Commits
sion at Cold Spring Harbor, has recently
had q peculiar and interesting expert
ence. At the outbreak of the war ho
enlisted in the One Hundred and Thir-
teenth New York Regiment which was
shortly afterward converted into twelve
of heavy or garrison artillery. These
batteries were instructed in gun-drill at
Washington, but when it became GER
tain that there was little danger of the
Confederates attacking the capital, the
regiment was ordered into the field as
infantry. They, however, clung to
their title of the Seventh New York
Heavy Artillery, designation they had
received on being transformed into gun
ners.
On June 10, 1864, Lieutenant Mather
was in command of L Company, which
was the color company of the regi-
mont, and belonged to the First Di-
vision of the Second Corps, COM
manded by General Hancock. The
command was moving on the enc
x
the right was the Irish Legion, and the
two bodies diverged. The Confederate
forces rushed through the gap, and the
right of the One Hundred and Thir-
teenth or Seventh New York Heavy Ar
tillery were taken prisoners. To save
the colors Lieutenant Mather determin-
ed to bury them. This he did, and he
was in the act of burying his sword, a
presentation from Battery /, on which
his name was engraved, when South
erner stepped up and said:
Look here, Yankee, just drop that"
and ordered him to move inside the en-
emy's trenches.
81 obeyed the order" says Captain
Mather, land was carrying my sword,
in it's scabbard, and belt in my hand,
when man in plain clothes demanded
it of me. / saw he was a civilian, who
had only come out to have shot at us,
and / resisted. During our struggle,
and just as the man was about to strike
me with his fist, an officer came up and
indignantly asked If he was about to
strike a prisoner. The man fell back
and | handed my sword to the officer,
who, thinking l was wounded, offered
me hospitality, and 1 wrote his name
and address on New York Tribune
that l had in my pocket. Nothing
could have been kinder than the be-
havior of my captor. was subsequent
ly confined in prisons at Macon, Ga,
Charleston and Columbia, S. c., and lost
the memoranda with the name of the
man who had my sword had some
idea he was a Georgia man, and in my
travels in connection with fish-culture
in the Southern States have always
been trying to find some trace of him.
ga few years ago Captain L. Brew
ster, who had served in A Company,
Tenth Alabama Regiment, during the
war, died. A Southern paper published
that among his property was sword be-
longing to Lieutenant Mather. The
item was copied into the National
Tribune, and saw it. I communicated
with Captain Brewster's representatives,
and on the first of this month the old
sword, scabbard and belt once more came
into my possession. The scabbard has
an indentation whefs IL ball struck it in
Battle. They are relics of by-gone
feud, but prize them very dearly. y

to take the post of head of the police
department out of the political pasture.
They have not yet determined
upon Just what to do. but they desire to
have the police department put upon q
sort of reward of merit basis. They
argue that the head of the police de-
parlment should be man thoroughly
acquainted with police work; man
who understands the value of dscip-
line and the best mode of applying it;
man who Is skilled in dealing with
criminals and who is conversant with
their ways. They believe that
such man can be rarely found,
unless he has had police experience,
unless he has been connected with a
police department long enough to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with all
the details of the operation of such a
complicated machine. In word, they
believe that superintendent of police
should possess the same qualities in the
way of familiarity with his work and
mastery OF its principles as are now de-
manded in a superintendent of fire de-
partment - practical experience as
against theoretical opinions. They
would have the Office of superintendent
of police made one to be filed
from the ranks of the department. And,
to good many, their arguments appeal
with not little force. When there are
men who thoroughly understand the
business through long service in a
police department and who possess
the requisite executive ability. why
shouldn't those men be eligible to the
place at the top? Anyhow, something
of this nature will probably be under
taken ut the coming session of the legis-
lature, in connection with the revision
OF the city charter.

THRILLING AND DRAMATIC.

Herb Corners Powerful Painting,
tCOnsOlatiOn," to Be Exhibited.
Herb Corners painting. "Consola-
tion." inspired by scene at the Bar
rett execution, is becoming famou S.
There is such pressure of public curl
osity to see the work that the artist has
accepted flattering proposition from
Manager Fred A. Pride to place it on
exhibition in the Palace museum, where
at a nominal price the masses may see
it. The painting has been handsomely
mounted and will be placed on exhibit
ton this week.
The scene, in itself a most dramatic
one, has been worked out by the artist
with singular power. The central and
absorbing figures are those of young
Pete Barrett, black capped and pallid
of face, kneeling on the fatal trap with
Father Corbett kneellng beside him and
pouring into his ear the holy consola-
tons of the church. The details and
accessories are admirably subordinated
to these central fgureS-the gray light
glinting wierdly down through the
grated window, the cold and chilling
stone wall behind, the enginery of dea tn
beneath. TO the Catholic the pictu re
has still deeper significance in that it
illustrates one of the church's hottest
and most solemn offices. Bishop Nc
GOlrick has from the first taken strong
personal interest in the work and it is
by his advice that it is now exhibited.

The divorce case of Henrikke Wikoff

raising family. He was given no
claim to the property, however, and

vey Hill and his son, residents of Mime
apolis. Harvey Hill has been garnished
in the action.
