SENSATION AT KETTLE POINT.
Two Wandering Willies Who Crea-
ted Confusion In That Section.

Two Wandering Willies Who Crea-
ted Confusion In That Section.
The good people OF Kettle Point are
very much in doubt as to the characters
of a pair of fat, good natured
looking wanderers who strolled
into their midst yesterday and
created a sensation. The opinions
which are held to at the Point vary. Some
suppose that their visitors were insane
but harmless, others that they were stray
Coxeylets trying To steal a mount and
catch up with the foot division
from Rhode Island and there are still
Others who think they were ordinary
house thieves who had stolen some very
presentable clothing, and got shaved so
that they might travel in the
guise of real gentlemen. At any
rate the said pair rushed To the tip of the
point just as yesterdays shadows were
lengthening, dragging after them a
startled horse which belonged to some
one else.
The insane theory gained adherents
when the one with fair hair declared that
he and his companion had come TO Kettle
Point in search OF palace which they had
learned about, place where no mosqui-
toes ever invaded, where adults would
wax strong through the summer
and children be soft. Their palace
turned out to be hovel on the brow of a
cliff that the average child would fall
over on sight. And seeing this the
couple ran into wood thicket
dragging the horse after them as far as
the underbrush would admit. Then be-
ing hailed from distance by the owner
of the animal who did not dare approach,
they turned the beast loose, made peculiar
signs with their hands and arms and took
To the road. They have not been seen
since

IN LEGISLATURE.
Dennehy Pardoned After Some
Little Opposition.
House Session More Noted For Bad
Legislation Killed Than Good Enacted

Long before the Senate was called to
order this morning 1t was evident that a
great influence was to be brought against
the pardon of Patrick i. Dennehy.
Mrs. Favor, the wife OF the murdered
man, was present with her son and James
&. Collins and Officer Henry G.. Pollard OF
Lincoln circulated among the Senators
opposing the recommendation.
1t was nearly II O'Clock before the quo
rum appeared and after a number
OF House measures had been
referred, the committee on pardons
recommended the adoption of the Gov
ernor's recommendation for the pardon of
Dennehy.
Ex-Governor Davis spoke in favor OF
the petition. He reviewed the history of
the remarkable case and said that while
he had reviewed the matter
carefully when it was brought
before him three years ago and
had examined the evidence, which was OF
a strictly circumstantial character, he was
in favor OF granting the pardon. Dem
nehv might have committed the crime,
but he had been unable to see how 1t
could have been done.
After Ex-Governor Davis had taken his
seat Governor Brown called for the vote
and the pardon was granted, not Sena-
tor voting in opposition.
The petition upon which the pardon
was granted was signed by many of the
prominent citizens OF the State whIfe
Others have called upon the Governor
to intercede for the imprisoned man.
Nearly every influence thar has been used
has been of an unselfish character and the
arguments were so conclusive as to de-
mand the recommendation.
AS soon as the pardon had been signed
it was placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Sweet and he started for the
prison, accompanied by Rev. MIR. Spencer.

In THE HOUSE TODAY.

today.
Watering the City's Streets.
The Judiciary committee reported bill
authorizing the City Council of Provi-
dence to direct the watering of streets,
the expense to be borne by a5utting own
ers and to hold as liens upon the estates
until the assessment is paid. On motion
of Mr.. Mccarthy the bill was laid on the
table.
The committee on education reported
sundry bills of incorporation which were
passed. The local organizations included
Providence Conclave, Knights ofSherwood
Forest. the Providence Deaconess Home
of the M. Il. Church, What Cheer Harbor,
American Association of Masters and
Pilots of Steamboat Vessels, st. Francis
Xavier Convent of Mercy with capital
stock of 100000.
The committee on militia reported a
resolution seeking TO charge the color and
design of the State flag with recommen-
dation of indefinite postponement. So
ordered.
Representative Mccarthy called up the
bill relative to the watering of the streets
of the city of Providence. He raised the
point that the Union Railroad Company,
which was largely benefited, should pay
proportionate part of the expense.
hepreSenlAtlVe blOugelL oDleCleu 10 the
bill. He said il was throwing the burden
OF public accommodation upon private
property owners. It was wrong in princi-
pie and embodied in the law was uncon-
stitUtional. Even il the City Council had
asked for this legislation, the people
didn't want it.
Representative West said that so far rs
the question OF burden is concerned il
was following the same principle as ap
plies to assessing property owners for
curbing.
Representative Greene and Blodgett OBJ
jected 10 the bill on tho ground OF unjust
and inequitable taxation. Representative
Honey took the ground that the entire
street should be cared for at the public
expense. The abutting owner had
nothing but presumptive fee in
home rule, but inasmuch as the city dele
cation was divided he should vote against
the measure. The debate was continued
for considerable period, the majority of
the members objecting 10 the measure.
The bright particular feature OF the de-
bate was the spat between Mccarthy and
West, i'm which COunter-charges of
surrendering the streets of the
city to the Union Railroad Company
were made. Mulholland advised them
TO stop washing dirty linen and come
down TO facts. IL was explained further
that the act was drawn and introduced by
request OF the city solicitor. The bill was
recommitted to the judiciary committee.

Reading the Riot Act.

Because Colonel Mcclure had the
courage to tell the truth about David
B. Hill's hopeless candidacy for gov
ernor of New York, the hardshell
Lancaster Intelligencer proceeds to
read him a lecture which is very funny,
when you consider the relative i'm
portance of the two papers. 1t is in
part as follows:
The Philadelphia Times makes deliv
erance on the question Of Senator Hills
candidacy for Governor of New York,
which, in our Judgment, is silly. 1t de-
clares that Hill will inevitably be beaten
If he accepts the candidacy, and for the
reason that many Democrats will not vote
for him. 1t declares that for his own sake
and for his party's he should resign. For
his own sake, possibly this may be sound
advice, though we do not so think. For
the party's sake it is insane advice. The
| party's whole hope now clearly lies in
Hills candidacy, from which it cannot
| look back. His hand has been put to the
plow, and plow he must; and the party
must pull And it must pull together to
win. Therefore. woe be to the Democrat
who falters There is no place in the
party for him forevermore. He needs to

A Comprehensive vindication.

A perusal of the official transcript of
the opinion of Judge Green, of the
Third United States circuit court of
appeals, in the suit of Louis II. Bristol
and other stockholders Of the Scranton
Steel company against William w.
Scranton and his brother, Walter
Scranton, upon a charge alleging bad
faith, growing out of the consolidation
Of the Scranton Steel company with
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany, adds to the impression, recently
given by the cursory press dispatches,
Of the thoroughness of the defendants
vindication.
The facts in this case are already fa-
miliar to some of our readers. To
those who do not recollect them 1t may
be explained that when these two
rival companies were merged into one,
largely through the efforts of the
Messrs. Scranton, for which they were,
at the time, cordially congratulated by
the. stockholders of the Scranton Steel
company, the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company, In which the Scranton
Steel company was merged, in consid.

Leonard, on a Compromise.


1t is not creditable either to the con-
ferree system as system or to the
men who represented that system for
Clinton and Potter counties that the
Republicans of the Sixteenth district
were for more than month unable to
nominate candidate for congress when
70 per cent. of them had their minds
made up in favor of one man. The
defeat Of Horace B. Packer, of Tioga,
by compromise, forced on the five
hundred and seventy-third ballot in
order to permit the filiug Of the certifi-
cate of nomination within the legal
time limit, was humiliating defeat
Of the principle of majority rule, and
crowning disgrace to the system under
which it was rendered possible.
The successful nominee, Frederick
G. Leonard, of Potter, is, of course,
guiltless in this matter, and therefore
deserves the cordial support of every
Republican voter in the district. He
was the necessary product of an evil
necessity, the creation of contingency
which he was equally powerless to
prevent or to rectify. Although he
represents geographically portion of
the district which casts only the pal
triest fraction of the districts total
Republican vote, he represents, in the
immediate emergency which nomin-
ated him, Republicanism throughout
the district and throughout the coun-
try and as such his election is not in
doubt.
But a day Of reckoning with the
abominable system under which this
atrocious deadlocking of the party's
will, so common this year, has been
invited and encouraged must surely be
nigh. 1t is incredible that the people
will much longer submit to such une-

petitive manufacture of steel, delivered
to William w. and Walter Scranton
$350,0O0 of its mortgage bonds. The
plaintiffs in the foregoing suit alleged
that this amount belonged, pro rata,
to all the stockholders of the Scranton
Steel company and that in appropri-
ating it wholly to themselves the de-
PENDANTS were guilty of bad faith.
This the defendants denied; and won
their case in every particular, both be-
fore Judge Acheson and upon appeal.
The ruling of Judge Green is ex-
haustive in its consideration of the
various charges, but it may be con-
densed into the single assertion that
not only did the brothers Scranton
keep within the law in this matter,
but that they also transgressed no
principle of honor or fair dealing.
The court held that they were not only
faithful to their fiduciary duties, but
also that only by individually selling
their time, their experience, their
knowledge and their ability to the
consolidated company had they made
that desirable consolidation possible.
Two such sweeping vindications in
court ought to leave little room for fur
ther doubt as to the defendants fair
ness in this matter.

WILSON'S BAD TASTE.
Washinoton Post.


We really think that Mr.. Wilson might
have refrained from abusing the institu-
tions of his own country for the delecta
tion Of foreigners. He might have stuffed
himself with beef and turtle and thanked
his entertainers suitably without repro.
ducing for a British audience the cheap
fustian with which he is accustomed to
whoop up the credulous rustics Of his dis.
trict In West Virginia. 1t does no great
harm, here at home. to tell crowd that
monopoly has its grip upon the peoples
throats, that legislatures and congresses
have beenhdebauched and that even the
ermine is dragged In the mire
of corruption. The crowd UNDER
stands that kind of hog wash,
knows it for mere campaign buncombe
and is no more disturbed by 1t than by any
other unmeaning and unregsrded noise.
But to say such things to an assemblage Of
British tradesmen, for the benefit OF class
who believe in Ida Wells who think that
wild Indians lurk in the outskirts OF New
York and who are firmly convinced that
the American union is an ignorant. vicious
and rotten blunder-this, it occurs to us, is
hardly the kind of thing for a representa-
i've citizen of the United States to do.
Nonsense OF that kind is harmless aud in
nocent enough at.hohe, especially from
gentlemen like Mr.. Wilson, who, only a
few years ago, were clamoring for much
higher protection on their local industries
than the Senate amendments Of last winter
ventured to suggest. But when 1t comeslt

home, in the hearing Of strangers who
