Confesses That He Is n Murderer.
Harrisburg. Dec 12.-George Erb. aged
Ss years, confessed to the police yester-
day afternoon TO the murder of a man
named Edward Nutter. last February. in
Fort Smith. Ark. Erb was driven to the
confession by his conscience worrying
his so that he could not rest. Imme-
diately after having confessed he was
sent to Jail.
Erb has been in Harrisburg several
days and yesterday afternoon he pro-
ceeded to the mayors office, that he
might give himself up and be relieved Of
the secret which he has been carrying
for so many months. He originally came
from Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
county, and went west some years ago,
where he lived for some time. and met a
woman named Miss Ella Hicks.
Erb and Miss Hicks soon drifted to
Fort Smith, Ark, and while boarding at
a hotel met Edward Nutter. 1t did not
take them long to learn that the stranger
had over $100 in his possession. This
Erb and Miss Hicks resolved to secure,
and dose Of poison was given TO Nutter.
The money secured, they Immediately
left for Memphis, where they lived to-
gether, and shortly afterward learned
that Nutter had died from the effects of
the poison. c'his information caused
Erb much uneasiness, and he found il
Impossible to remain with the woman
who had assisted him in the poisoning.
Accordingly he left Memphis and wan
dered about the country, finally arriving
In Harrisburg.
District Attorney Detweiler will in
vestigate the case. Mayor Patterson
first thought possibly the man was only
trying to secure transportation to Mem
phis. but 1t soon developed that he was
sincere in what he told. Worry COM
relied him To confess, and he declares
that he wants to be punished for his
wrongdoing.
Erb is stonecutter by trade. He says
he intended only TO give Nutter knock
out drops and never thought for mo-
ment OF killing him. Miss Hicks is still

God Is Waiting.

A lad at Liverpool went out to bathe;
went out into the sea, went out too far,
got beyond his depth, and he floated far
away. A ship bound for Dublin came
along and took him on board. Sailors are
generally very generous fellows, and one
gave him cap and another gave him a
jacket and another gave him shoes. A gen.
tleman passing along on the beach at Liv-
erpool found the lads clothes and took
them home, and the father was heartbro-
ken, the mother was heartbroken, at the
loss of their child. They had heard moth
ing from him day after day, and they or
dered the usual mourning for the sad
event. But the lad took ship from Dub
lin and arrived in Liverpool the very day
the mourning arrived. He knocked at
the door. The father was overjoyed and
the mother was overjoyed at the re-
turn of their lost son. Oh, my friends,

New idea In Railway Tracks.

The annoyance of wheels slipping on
tracks, especially in up grades, and the
tremendous resistance experienced have
led to new invention. The rail is pro-
vided with an edge or rim covered with
cogs or teeth, and the wheel has SINH
lar cogs which engage with them. These
cogs are set on diagonally, inclining
downward, and are less likely to accu-
