Albany. Jan. 23.-Assemblyman Agnew. of
New-York. Tonight introduced a bill providing
for a State water commission of hve three of
whom shall be residents Of New-York. The Gov
ernor is to appoint them
The sum Of $4,000 is appropriated for the ex-

the legislature next winter. The commission is
expected to recommend legislation for a per-
manent water commission which is to plan for
a permanent water supply for New-York and

N.B. YOUNG TO BE FREED
WHITE CONVICT OF MARION
 COUNTY COMMITTED.
He Killed United states Deputy Mar shai Several Years Ago and His
 Health is Breaking Down.

Joy was yesterday carried to the heart of Newton B. Young, a middle aged white State convict, who had his sentence of life Imprisonment for mur- der commuted to twenty-three years by Acting Governor Cunningham.
 Under the act of the Governor. Young will see the light of freedom some time next December. This is so calculated from the fact that the con- vict is allowed about ten years for good conduct.
 The petition for executive clemency coming from Young was affecting. He told in sorrowful note of the hard ships of mind and body he has suffered since his conviction in 1892 of murder ing United States Deputy Marshal D. W. Osborn in Marion County.
 The shooting of the deputy marshal occurred when he tried to arrest Young in 1902 on a serious charge
 The recommendations for clemency in Young's favor are many. but that which availed most was the wrecked condition of his constitution. The ex- cellent conduct of the convict in Pratt Mines has also made a strong appeal to the Board of Pardons and the Gov ernor.
 Singulariy enough only a few years ago Acting Governor Cunningham then prison physician at Pratt City, recommended Young as a fit subject for clemency. The convict's body was then badly breaking down. Now the Governor has recalled his own recom- mendations and acted accordingly. / The endorsement of the Governor in the case Is as follows:
 This applicant for clemency was convicted of murder in October. 1892, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Since his confinement In prison his conduct has been remarkably ex- emplary and good. All the officers of the prison, teachers of the Sunday school. and especially the late w. L. Rogers. have all urged clemency A few years ago he was taken out of the mines on account of his physical condition. In consideration of his good conduct and physical condition let the life sentence be commuted to twenty three years In the penitentiary with allowance for good conduct"

NEGRO BOY SHOT.
Wesley Wilson. Faithful Servant, As-
 cidentalIy Wounded.


 cidentaIIy Wounded. Wesley Wilson. a fifteen year old negro boy. was probably fatally shot by the accidental discharge of a shot gun yesterday afternoon about 1:3O o'clock.
 The accident occurred two miles from the ferry on the opposite side of the Alabama river Yesterday morning Berto Johnson and Joseph Madigan accompanied by Wilson. who has been an employe at the Johnson Bottling Company, start ed on a hunting expedition across the river. While returning in their buggy rabbit was seen to run across the road and MT. Johnson called to Wilson. who was riding behind, to hand him one of the guns which they carried underneath the seat. The boy has, | tened to obey and in extricating the gun the left barrel was discharged. | Wilson's left arm was almost completely blown away Just above the elbow, and his clothing was ignited by the burn ing powder.
 Messrs. Johnson and Madigan imme- diately bound up the almost severed arm and drove to Montgomery where the wounded boy was carried to the colored ward at St. Margaret's Hos- pital.
 The city physician stated last night that Wilson's condition was critical on account of the great loss of blood in addition to the horrible wound If Wilson survives the arm will have to be amputated. MT. Johnson said last night that he especially deplores the accident as the boy is an exemplary youth for one of his race.

When he had climbed to his own poop deck he leaned against the rail and gazed back at the passageway. Across the quay Spanish bark was moored. silent and apparently deserted by her crew. and outside of the passage the whole quay was steeped in moonlight and silence. For a full hour the Captain unused and smoked and then came from the passageway a step. A man emerged cloaked to the lips, as Spaniards are wont even on the warmest nights. walking with an alert step and with an odd and furtive habit of glancinE to the right or left.
 An" muttered the skipper, you are the gentlemen who was to be carved"
 The man walked to the side of the bark and placed his hand on the rail preparatory to .vaulting over 1t. Then he noted in the moonlight that the skipper was observing him from the ship opposite. and he waved his hand gracefully.
 "Buenos noches," he called.
 "Ay, ay," replied the skipper, and the men leaped ocer the rail. The skipper flung the stump of his cigar on the quay. You were late" he re- marked, looking at the bark. That hour saved your life"
 And he wont below.
 In the morning the young mate of the Spanish bark was early at work unloading cargo. He was a 1.-the, &C., tive fellow and worked his men in a methodical way, which won the Eng fish shippers approvG4.
