ADRY HAYwARD's CONFESSION.
Adry Hayward who, with Harry, is
also in custody, yesterday confessed all
he knew of the plot. Harry had at
tempted to draw him into it, but had
failed, although he cxerted wonder
full influence over him as well as over
the murdered woman. Adry Hayward
did all he could to dissuade his brother
from his murderous purpose, and even
threatened exposure. Harry threatened
to take his life if lie ever revealed the
secret, aud not knowing what to do he
went to l.. NJ. Stewart, an old friend of
the family, three days before the muir
der and told him Of the plot, at the
same time asking his advice as to what
should be done in the matter. The story
seemed so preposterous that Mr.. Stewart
took no stock in it, saying that even if
Harry was villain, he was not fool,
and so nothing was done about the
matter. When Stewart learned of tho
murder he wrote to the authorities tell
ing them what he knew of the matter.
The letter from Mr. Stewart was re-
ceived on Tuesday and in it he said that
Adry had told him of the plot three
days before the murder.

THAr HAILRoAD DEAL.
Tho Purchase of tho Baltimore & Dels
ware Railroad Not Credited.

Tho Purchase of tho Baltimore & Dela-
ware Railroad Not Credited.
In regard to the fruited purchase by
New York syndicate of the Baltimore &
Delaware Bay railroad which runs from
Chestertown to Bombay Hook, across
tho Peninsula, it Is known that some
years ago Jay Gould conceived the idea
Of paralleling the Pennsylvania railroad
by connecting his system of the Jersey
Central, across that State from New
York to Bay Side on Delaware bay,
then to cross by barge to Bombay Hook,
using the Baltimore 81 Delaware Bay
railroad from Bombay Hook to Chester
town as the connecting link with trans
fcrs at the latter point, for the cars, by
strong steamers and floats to Baltimore.
But the repeated transfers and the
stormy waters of the bay proved the
enterprises anything but feasible. and
it was given up. .......
1t is thought possible too, that the
new idea may be for the advantage
of the 3. & o. railroad by which it
might get foothold in the Peninsula
for berry traffic through extending a
line south, which at present it is with
out But it is commonly believed on
the street there is nothing in either of
the projects.

A New ice Sleigh,

One of the winter novelties thus far an
nounced is the sulky sleigh. 1t weighs 30
pounds, just about the weight of Il bicycle.
1t is made of steel and hickory. The braces
are all of forged steel, tempered by hand;
the arches are of the best western hickory,
bent by hand. The spans or arches that
support the driver are divided and lined
with hand tempered steel the entire length
from center of top to runners. The forging
is so made that the steel is tapered grad
uaily from Il very thin piece to three-quar-
tiers of an inch in the center of the truss
This secures all possible lightness, at the
same time making the sleigh able to bear
the necessary weight The shafts are sim
liar to those Of an ordinary track sulky.
The seat is the same and is SO attached as
to do away with a large part Of the horse
motion, yet allow the runners to bear easily
on the snow. The point of attachment is
half way between the runner and the seat,
and the draft is ' cry similar to trott;ng
sleigh.
The riding qualities are about the same
as in the ordinary track sulky, and the
track motion is about the same. Tnchorse
is hooked back as close to the driver as in
the new style pneumatic sulky, and the
seat is as high from the ground, so that the
driver can see ahead

A LAND OF MYSTERY.
The Weird Sketch Of Country Tapped by
the Nevada Southern Road.


the Nevada Southern Road.
One Of the most peculiar and interesting
places on the American continent lies
across the diagonal line that forms tho
southern boundary of the state of Nevada
spreading into California and reaching al
most to the line Of the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad. The old forty-niners passed
through this section during the Californis
gold excitement. Many persisted from the
thirst. and the remains of their wagons,
such as the tires and other iron parts, may
be found strewn about the valleys.
Near Resting springs man of the
name of Lee has a ranch, an Indian wife
md family of eight children. Not far from
there is what is believed to be the famous
6unsight mine. One of the pioneers il
passing through that section picked up E
piece of lead almost pure and made sight
for his gun with it. 1t was SO rich that
when he told the story in civilization pros
pectors started out to locate it. The fact
of the similarity of all the valleys leo
many astray, and they persisted from
| thirst His description of the spot applied
to so many spots that no one has been able
to locate the mine, but the present owners
believe they have found it.
The valley adjoining that which is the
route of the Nevada Southern is called
pahrump. It is the principal one of them
all for gold and silverand lead mines. Up
the valley, which is one of those dry, bar
rem sand gulches between two perpendicu-
lar walls of rock, is the Mesquite Stang
mill On one side is the keystone gold
mine, from which 800. GOO has been ex-
| tracted. Up at the head of the alley is the
| Montgomery gold district Several miles
| above the mill is the Pahrump springs,
| where a hardy pioneer has settled in a
| beautiful little oasis and reared a family.
| Those who have visited the family say
that away off there, imprisoned by canyon
walls and sandy deserts, is the most beau
| tiful woman in the west. She is one of ma
lures queens. and her fame for beauty is
1 spreading quite rapidly Since grim civili-
zation placed his foot in the pahrump val
/ ley. The Pahrump valley has not beer
noted for its civilization. A band of rene
| Ssde 1ndians-a mixture of the Mohaves
Cbingowayras and Piutes, all of which in

| They once had chief, and when he died

Stainsiip.
/ The tribe did not want him and would
not elect him, so they went without n
head, but not for long. Tecopa stepped

attire consists of plug hat and an old
striped shirt. Once in awhile he wears
trousers. but very seldom. When Mr..
