COUNTY LEGISLATION.

The question of county government
is far and away the most important
one which will engage the attention Of
the incoming legislature. The ques-
ton of finance, although a cOmplicat-
ed one will easily be unraveled i'm the
hands of a legislature i'm harmony with
the executive, but the adoption of a
proper county government bill will lead
into deep water The difficulty will be
to graft proper measures on to our
existing form of municipal government
so that there be no clash and no mis-
fits. After an. we can only expect Il
weak and imperfect county bill, and it
viii taken several years of experiment
tai legislation. Even then every le-
gislature will find much work to do In
readjusting the county bill to our va
rious and changing need. Such has
continually been the experience of the
States, and we must not hope to prove
an exception to the rule, as it is beyond
the ability of any set of men to draft
perfect measure at the first attempt

AFFIDAVITS co
With BAIL BONDS

High Sheriff Henry has had a form
of an affidavit drawn up to be attach
ed to all bail bonds. The High Sheriff
intends that whenever bond for the re-
lease of a prisoner is made out, the
person going on the bond shall make a
formal affidavit as to the amount of
property he or she owns and to what
extent, if any, it is encumbered. In
case it should be found that the person
making such affidavit had falsely rep
resented that his property were unin-
numbered, prosecution for perjury
could follow.

High Sheriff Henry will hold a con-

FOUR MEN DEAD.
Oil Barge Carrying 1,OOO,OO0 Gallons
Burns.

New York, Dec. 19.-Four men lost
their lives and four others were Sc
vereIy burned in a fire on the Stand
ard Oil barge No. 81, which was sight
ed off Long Branch, N. j., last night.
When the blazing barge was sighted
it was impossible to learn anything
regarding the fate of the crew. Tugs
which were near at hand, gave all the
assistance possible and no effort was
made to reach the barge by the life
saving crew at that point. The first
news, therefore, came here today
when a tug boat put into Long Island
City with the four survivors on board.
All these men were seriously burned
and were taken at once to a hospital.
There it was found that one of them
was in a critical condition. 1t is be-
lieved- that the other three men will
survive their injuries.
The cause of the fire on the barge
has not been explained. None of the
survivors was in any condition to talk
today, but it was learned that there
was an explosion and burning oil was
thrown over the vessel. The barge
had on board 1000 barrels or 1,000,-
900 gallons of oil.

ed much attention. She was defended
by Sergeant Finkle, now crown judge.
The defense was insanity, and in the
trial many witnesses were found to
come forward with testimony as to her
oddness and eccentricity. She was ac-
quilted and never thereafter lived per-
manently in Woodstock.
One of Daniel Bigley's daughters
married a man of the name of Camp
bell, and moved to Cleveland, O., in
the '7Os. A week after the trial at
Ontario, Betty Bigley appeared at
the Campbell home. Mrs. Campbell
would attempt the reform of her sis
ter. The girl at once set out to learn
dress cutting. Later she opened a
school for herself in the Argyle block,
a prominent thoroughfare. 1t was
thought she had put aside all her in
ordinate desire for fneTy and jewels.
But this was wrong belief. In
stead her appetite increased. With the
school for the basis she began a cam
paign on the money lenders of the
city. Jewels, gowns and dresses soon
became hers. When her personal
credit ran out she coolly took her
money by giving chattel mortgages on
the Campbell household goods. Mr..
Campbell was well to do, and she was
enabled to run large accounts at dry
goods stores.
In Cleveland in 1880 there was
DIR. W. S. Springsteen, and in some
way Betty Bigley met him. Then
she was an heireSS to large estate in
ireland, visiting relatives in Cleveland,
and DR.. SpringSteen paid court to her.
They were married in 1880, and on
the wedding night the bridegroom had
the disagreeable experience of seeing
regiment of inStallment men descend
upon the place and take away not only
the trousSeau of the bride and much
of her furniture, but even the valuable
wedding presents that she was sup
posed to have received from wealthy
friends in Ireland. That ended the
Springsteen romance, and the physi-
clan left her. Within a day the Camp
bell chattel mortgage became known
and the sisters parted. Mrs. Spring.

MANIA FOR FINE CLOTHES.
1t Possessed Mrs. Chadwick While She
Was in School.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 19-Cassie L. Chad
wick, Elizabeth Hoover Chadwick, or
Mrs. Leroy Shipper Chadwick, born the
daughter of q farmer in reduced cir
cumstanceS, is now in Jail in Cleveland
while federal and state authorities are
steadily weaving about her a net of
criminal charges. 1t is a fitting climax
to a life in which events have followed
events SO quickly as to leave the mind
bewildered.
Daniel Bigby, in the early SOS, lived
on a small farm at Eastwood, province
of Ontario. He was poor and had a
large family, eight children in all, and
the fifth was a daughter, born in 1857,
and christened Elizabeth known to the
other members of the family as Bet
ty."
Betty BigIey was never a particu-
years suffered slightly from deafness.
She also spoke with a lisp. She was
bright very bright. At school she was
easily a leader in her classes, but she
was not popular. Betty Bigley was
always strange-'peculiar' her school
mates declared. She had a positive
mania for fine clothing, finer than her
father could give her, and for 5ewelry.
She was not like other girls.
She carried cards which set forth that
she was Miss Begley, heiress to $15,-
O00." Even then her power over men
was manifest. She obtained credit from
local merchants of Woodstock, about
eight miles from her home, and one day
she obtained $3.50 on a note alleged to
have been signed by a wealthy farmer
near Bramford. When that note came
due, she took it up with another note,
ard Kip of Woodstock. When this note
came due there was no money to pay
it, and the girl in November, 1879, was
arrested for forgery. The case attract

rife bonfire that the world will see it,

it won't do a bit of good, especially
