-uRFE OF GOV. JONES CAP lToL COMMISSIONERS
 REJECTED.
oTHER THREE CONFIRMED.
The Rejected Ones are Members of the Legislature and Barred
 By the Constitution.
Wednesdays Gazette.

A decidedly breezy executive ses- sion of the State Senate was held yesterday for the purpose of con. sder:ng the appoin tments made by Cav Joces for State Capitol Com n,ssioners. Under the provisions ftbe Kimbell bill for the erection ofanew State capitol the governor is directed and authorized to name eonmission to carry out the pur- noses of the act, the commission to consist of one eiector from each of the six congressional districts of the State. Each of the commissioners is to receive $5 per day while actual ly engaged aud 5 cent per mile in travelling to and from the capital. They. are to choose a sectretary who shall receive $80 per month.
 The senate was in session several hours considering the nominations It was an entirely secret proceeding all being excluded from the cham. Der except the senators themselves. But enough Of the proceedings leak ed out to justify the statement that the session was a lively one. At the conclusion the result was.
 Confrmed-Newman, Carriqan ald Donaghey,
 Rejectea-Herrn, Yandeventer and South,
 A fight was made on Speaker Vandeyenter, Senator South and Representative Herrn on the ground that as they are members of the legislature they should not be ap- pointed to positions created by the body of which they are members. Nothing personal was urged against the three gentlemen.
 1t was conceded on all sides that they would make most excellent capitol commissioners, but a ma jority of the senators con tended that the constitution spec fcally bars members of the legislature . from accepting any other office dur ing the time for which they were elected as members O the law making body. One of the senators is said to have stated that when the Kim5ell bill was pending in the house certain members of that body wanted to know whether members of the legislature could be appointed on the commission. They were ir formed by friends of the bill that such a thing was hardly likely, aud upon that score several votes came to the measure. It can be gathered vaguely from fragments of inform ation dropped here and there by senator that the discussion was most exhaustive one and that the Governor was subjected to no small amount of criticism.
 The nominations of Messrs New man, Carrigan and Doneghey were confirmed without any great show of opposition, except9in the case of Mi Newman, against whom it was urged that he is a gold bug" and Sam Randall Democrat" The vote on the nominations of the other three was:
 Herrn--Ayes 9, noes IS.
 Fandeventer-Ayes 9, noes IT.
 Soath-Ayes 9, noes IT.

CRABS IN WINTER QUARTERS
EACH CRAB MOTHER is THE VIC
TIM OF HNR OWN PROGENY.

ChestertOwm, March S-Crabs are
now in Winter quarters. buried deep in
the soft mud in the deeper waters Of
Chesapeake bay In spite of the fact
that they get no food during the long
season Of torpor. they are fattest and
decidedly at their best when caught in
Winter. possibly due to the fact that
during this state OF inactivity they do
not wear away flesh by exercise.
A phase of crab life little known is
its manner of reproduction. Each fe-
male crab becomes a victim to her own
progeny. Under the broad, curiously-
shaped apron on the under side Of ;he
female is a pocket, in which may be
found at the proper period in Summer
bunch or ball of eggs, numbering
hundreds and possibly we'll over a
thousand. lh- y-I-g hatch yc.y mach
as do the young OF the spider. As sc9n
as the tiny spider like creatures hatch
they at once proceed to attach them
selves to the mother crab at every
Joint at which it is possible to suck the
life juices from the parent for tfel
own subsistence The mother does no
cease to feed, but finally the demands
of her young become greater than tn'
forces of nature can bear and her In
is the forfeit. Just how long the small
crabs are thus attached to the mothe
no Chesapeake fisherman has ever ha'
he patience TO determine.
The life Of the crab is two years
When they are what is known a
'channe'crs" thcy bury themselves Il
the mud the second Winter and neve
scme ont again. AS is well known T.
many crabs only grow or increase 4
size when they shed or slough Of
their shells AT each shedding they in
crease in size nearly one-half

A REMARKA ARLE RING.

To Mrs. Clarence Mackay, cne OF the
leaders Of New York society, belongs
one Of the most remarkable rings in
the world. 1t was made originally for
a real Hindoo Rajah. And il is quite
as uncomfortable to wear as it is
curious to lcok at. 1t is really three
rings in one, and is a copy of an an
clent Hdndoo ring of a Rance Of Pc
shawur. Not so long ago, however, il
was owned by a rajah, whose financial
condition forced him to part with IT,
The ring is heavy and massive. and
the old yellow gold setting most cur
ious. There are three rings almost IN.
visib.y attached to one another, but
so arranged that one cannot be worn
apart from the others, and each rims
has to be'wom on a separate finger. In
the centre Of the middle ring is a su.
perb ruby. Below and above the ruby
are emeralds Of exquisite color, which
are a trifie taller in size than tn,
matchless ruby, and at either side o.
the ruby are beautifully cut diamonds
Altogether the gold setting holds fiv,
gems. In length the ring measure,
two and a-half inches, and it is on
and a-hah inches high. The setting Il
most curious, and in itself is worl
OF art. II is delicateiy carved with
tiny dragons head, while round tn
edges are the cleaning, pointed teeth

Media. March S.-John r. Richards
colored man.. who attempted to kin
his wife, Lena, at their home, on W.
rich street, Chester, on last Thanks
giving Day, and who fired three bullets
from a revolver into her body, pleaded
guilty to the charges in court yester-
day and told a STORY Of domestic woe
that gained him the sympathy of the
court. and secured him a comparative
ly lieiht sentence for so grave a crime.
Richards said there was man in the
case. Il have nothing TO conceal he
said, "and If It had not been for this
man this trouble would rot have hap
pened." He said he caught the man in
company with his wife three different
times. and after the last time they had
had a bad quarrel and decided to sep
arate. When he was about to leave
the house she made a solemn promise
not to have anything to do with the
man again and they made up. On the
day Of the shooting Richards came
home and found the same man again
In the room with his wife. This was
more than I could standl' said Rich
ards. 81 intended to shoot the man
right there who had destroyed my hap
piness, but when the shots were fired
they all struck my wife. II is pretty
hard to kiln her.
Mrs. Richards denied the charges
made by her husband, but got mixed
when asked about details. Richards
was recalled and very reluctantly gave
the names OF the man whom he said
had caused an the trouble. He wal
sentenced to one year in the county
