John Wedderburn, and the congressional committees, will be taken to San Fran cisco, where public funeral will take place. The senator died Saturday evening at 9:1O o'clock.
 George Hearst was born in Franklin county, Mo-, Sept. 3, 1920. His father was William G. Hearst, a native of South Car olina, of Scotch desent, who in 1908 moved with his family to Missouri and engaged in stock raising. George Hearst graduated in the Franklin County Mining school in 1888, and in 1850, tempted by the promise of speedy acquisition of wealth in Califor- mia, he made the trip overland to the Pa cific slope, arriving at Placerville, Ell Do- rado county, in October.
 He at once commenced placer mining, which he continued until December, when he with others discovered a rich ledge of gold quartz, which he immediately com menced to develop.
 He was generally conceded to be the most expert mining prospector on the Pa cific coast, and it was a common saying that his judgment in regard to mine was never found at fault He was candidate for governor of California in 1882.
 In 1885 he received the Democratic vote in the state legislature for United States senator. In March, 1886, he was appointed United States senator by Governor Stone man in place of John F. Miller, who had died, and in January, 1887, he was elected for the succeeding term. In addition to his mining interests Senator Hearst was one of the largest real estate owners in California, and he was the proprietor of The San Francisco Examiner till 1887, when he presented it to his only son. Mr. Hearst was reported to be worth $2O, ,OOO, ,OOO

4 NATURAL CURIOSITY.

Is fs Hereafter so he known as Rob- N erss' Rock.
 Under the date of Feb 18th MT E. S. Roberts, of East Canaan, writes ss fol- lows to the Winsted Herald:
 Some time since I told you I would write you about rock that I have dis covered on the mountain south of my house.
 It is one of the sights of Canaan mountain, and is within few feet of the top. The wonderful part is the fact that while is is not movable rock, the area of surface that touches it's rock bed would permit 1t to stand on the head of hogshead.
 This is remarkable when we consider its size. The horizontal circumference measures over 65 feet, and is about 12 feet high. Is feet wide and 20 feet long. It stands on two feet or rests so that a person can crawl under it in most any direction.
 Those who have seen it pronounce it . wonder. It undoubtedly drifted to it's present situation in the glacial pe- riod, ages since. I have no douht il would be m object of special interest to "H. N." your Goshen correspondent.

An old road passes very near it, and it h easy of access wi b very little labor, and 1t being on the top of 8 mountain affords 8 splendid and extensive view, and might be made the wonder of Litchfield county if not of the state.
 The top of this peak overlooks Nor folk and North Canaan, and vast ex tent of country stretching away over Sheffield, New Marlboro and other towns and is on rock bed nearly destitute o ye0etation,

GUARDS THAT WERE NOT GUARDS

 Their Prisoners.

They Sold Files. Saws and Revolvers to
 Their Prisoners.
 BOSTON March Ex-Governor Russell has unearthed a big scandal in connection with the management of the Massachusetts state prison, which will result in the decapita- tion of eight or ten guards and a retention of a greater number of prisoners. For two months past the convicts have been cut ting their way out of the Charlestown bastile.
 Steel bars have apparently offered no obstacle and escapes have been frequent The warden has been puzzled by the un- wonted condition of affairs, but could not account for the presence of so many saws, files, etc, in the hands of the convicts.
 Governor Russell started little investi- gation on his own responsibility, and it disclosed the fact that the prisoners were furnished with the means of escape by the very guards who were sworn to keep them in confinement.
 For long time past certain of the guards, about eight or ten out of fifty, have been making money out of the con- victs by selling them saws, files and re- volvers.
 For months this ring has been fattening at the expense of prisoners who had the means to pay for unlawful freedom, and the state authorities have been wondering all the time why the convicts were escap. | ing so easily

 Gang of Employees.
SILKS, SATINS AND LACES STOLEN.

A Trainman's Wife Is Said to Have
 Acted as "Fence" for the Light Fin
 gered Gentry-Several Alleged Mem-
 bers of the Band Behind the Bars.
 PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-Since last June the wife of Reading railroad train man has probably sold more valuable silks, faces and velvets than the richest lady in the land has purchased. in the same time. She was the medium through whom an organized gang of train robbers in the railroads service disposed of their wholesale plumber.
 Part of the Gang Caught.
 Part of the gang arc under arrest and will have final hearing at Doylestown today. For months past complaints have been made to the officials of numerous thefts of merchandise from freight cars, and claims have been presented to the company for the loss of cloths, velvets, silks, hosiery, etc., lost in transit over the road. The case was placed in the hands of Chief John G. O'Brien, of the Readings special officers, to ferret out.
 Bucks County Was the Place.
 The clews were traced to the trains on the North Pennsylvania branch, and the thefts located as taking place in Bucks county from trains between New York and Philadelphia. Lewis Hansell and William Coyle and Abraham Kulp, brake men, have been arrested and taken to Doylestown, and given hearing and hound over for further hearing. Many Thousands stqten,
 The value of the goods taken will amount to many thousands of dollars
