A YoUTH's CONFESSION. Levi Per-
ham, youth of 10, related in the County
Court at Bennington, VT yesterday, how,
for love of Mrs. Mary H. Rogers, he aid
ed the woman TO murder her husband, to
the end that, with the $500 insurance
obtained on his life, she might furnished
a home for the man she loved. Perham
was witness called by the State in the
trial of Mrs. Rogers, charged with the
murder of her husband Marcus Nj. Rogers.
He said she lured Rogers to river bank
for the purpose of reconciliation, she
having become estranged from her hus-
band. In burst of well-feigned and
playful affection the woman proposed
that they do tricks with rope which she
brought with her. The husband allowed
himself to be tied several times, each time
getting loose. Mrs. Rogers suggested
that Perham try his hand, and he bound
Rogers securely he says. From her peck
ct Mrs. Rogers then quickly drew hand
kerchief, which she saturated with chloro-
form and placed over her husbands face
Then, Perham testified, she wrote note
with these words on it and pinned it to
Rogers. 81 am going to drown myself,
and nobody is to blame for my death. "
To this she signed her husbands name
After Rogers had died from the effects of
the chloroform PCrham threw the body
into the river, and hand in hand the two
returned to their home.

FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. II. 1903.
BOATS WITHDRAWN.

The business community of Fredericks-
burg was surprised yesterday to learn
that the steamer Tourist, of the Peoples
Line, which started II months ago to
ply the Rappahannock as far as Urbana,
under the auspices of the Business Mems
Association, had been transferred to run
on a triweekly schedule between Peters
burg and Norfolk. This surprise was
later intensified by the announcement
that the steamer Sunbeam, the connect
ing link OF the line from Bowlers wharf
to Baltimore, had been taken off her
route.
As stated in a recent communication
from Fredericksburg, about$l 200 worth
Of stock OF this line is owned by that
city, 5000 has been donated by the
Business Mems Association and large
block f the stock was subscribed by the
farmers along the Ra pabannook river.
A number Of the board of directors are
business men of Fredericksburg, and the
announcement was as much Of sur
prise to them as to the business
CONN unity.
President Carter, of the Peoples Line,
asked as to the withdrawal of the steam
ers. said "The business men of Fred
ericksburg lately have not been giving
the Peoples Line the cordial support
they formerly did, and for that reason
we have Withdrawn the steamers.
The steamer Caroline, of the Weems
Line, is now running a schedule which
meets all the business interests of the
community, and her rates BEINGS much
lower, took away from the Peoples
Line large amount OF the patronage,
which lately had increased TO such pro-
portions as 10 entail he IVY loss to the
Peoples Line. Manager Archer said
that his line had lost several thousands
of dollars, and that it could not run at
loss, and good opening having been
made, the steamer Tourist has been
transferred to Norfolk and Petersburg.
The friends Of the Weems Line who
have all along contended that il proper
efforts had been made with President
Williams to give the people river boat
and schedule satisfactory to the business
interest of this city he would have done
so AID this competition between the two
line. would never have existed
A largely attended meeting of the
Business Mems Association was held,
and committees were appointed to con-
fer with President Williams as to a
permanent schedule for river boat.

Mexico's Prosperity.

The future historian who may be

to prosperity could do no better than
to name the close of our war with
Spain. The foundations Of this
prosperity were laid away back in the
primeval chaos. when nature gathered
into that favored corner of the earth
her rich stores of mineral wealth.
The conditions were made ripe by the
long apo wonderfully wise admins
