As Centre county will have two
member* of the legislature, under the
apportionment to be made this winter,
w* suppose it will be taken for granted
that oae will always be taken from
this side the county, sod one from the
ether side.
Should this be a fixed understand
ing, wonld it not be well to make some
nil* governing the nomination in this
particular, by which the closes of Ms
side would be rare to be the nominee f
AM at present, it might often occur
that a nomination would be manipu
lated for thia side which would not be
ia accord with the wishes of our peo

aisturMu.
The only plan by which this might
be done would be the following:
When the Dem. Co. Convention pro
ceeds to make nominations for Assem
bly, let the townships of Ferguson,
Harris, Potter, Gregg, Peon, Haines,
and Miles be celled, end whoever has
a majority of the votes, let biro be the
nomine* for ibis aide, for Assembly.
Then let the seme proceeding be bad
as to the balance of the townships in
deciding who shell be the nominee for
that side. As to all the other county
let the nominations be mad*
as heretofore, by the whole convention.
This plan might not enit the few on
this aid* who ere food of being in
en-boot with the trimmers over the
moan tain, hat it wonld prevent bar

seekers, in trading some of their dele
gates to any legislates candidate over

the other county offices over there.

Nov, u the ring thieves of New
York hove beoo pretty welt disposed
of, the good work night be commenc
ed ia some other quarters, where there
are ae bad, if sot worn, thieves then
ever caned the city of New York—
we BMaa Philadelphia, where the
moat ootrageccs system of plundering
baa been carried on for a keg time.
Philadelphia has a gang of ploadcr
an who have played their game with
perfect success, thus for ; and although
the taxpayers of that city are awan
that the city ie robbed of millions, yet
aot even a threat bat been made to
paaaocnte the thieveo in office, and
drive them from the placae they bold,
to become inmates of the penitentiary,
when the public security demands
they shoo Id bo, ae wee done with
Tweed and his aamciates in New
York.
The democratic city of New York
has act an example which the proud
radical city of Philadelphia woold do
well to fellow. Bat there are yet no
evidences of each a ridding out of the
radical thieves of Philadelphia. The
democracy of New York were among
the most earnest to bring the corrupt
ia their owe perty to justice, and they
hpve succeeded ia purifying their
ranks. Will the radicals of Peiiosyl
vania demand ae much in Philadel
phia r The thieves, repeaters end
ballot-box studio re are ae well known
there, with dearer evidences of guilt,
thaa were Tweed, Coowlly A Co., in
Few York.
U Let Philadelphia commence to
"okas up," sad have bar vik charac
ton put to the houses built for
Lot this "cleaning up" be carried
on in other places too. There are
nay number of smaller tbkvea out
aide of Philadelphia, who sbonld be
taken can of. Now that we have a
new Constitution with many whole
eoaos features, and a cleaning out of
corrupt special legislation, kt the peo
ple not met there, hot kt them see
that none hut good and deserving
men art henceforth elected to office
under our reconstructed common
wealth. We mean thie advice for
democrats and republicans—for all
vhe an ia favor of houeaty, integrity
and purity. A I a tic mora of those
uußlttks can wall be born* every
where, iu Geatra a* well aa ia other
counties We have our "characters'
rn well as other wuutira, aud it not
anoofh for the lex rtddsu people of
this state to talk about how these
I things should be done, but they should
' be mindful of their Bacred duty at the
primary elections, and on election day
at the ballot box, make their actions
to suit their talk. We have now a
new Commonwealth, let us then also
h-ve a general "cleaning out" of po
litical trimmers, plunderers and pro
fessional office seekers. To do this re
mains entirely with the honest voters;
this work is in their hands entirely.
It is admitted that eorporatioua
have no souls, nevertheless they occa
sionally havo their troubles, and
whilst they lord it over coram unities
by an abuse of their privilege or by
unjustly obtainiug powers which are
oppressive to the people, yet they are
betimes subject to troubles some of
which have their origin in the abuses
practiced by these soulless institution#.
The Pennsylvania railroad company,
which has enjoyed a smooth career
ever sluce its formation, is just now
experiencing some trouble from *
strike of it* engineers, a
count of which we give •" "other
column of the
strike is the most extensive c>f soy of
the kind ever known, and
much annoyance, on all
Hues west ef Pituburg, causing the
temporary stoppage of a great many
trains, mostly freight, those that are
run. being attended by engineers from
the shops and such as tbey could en
gage not belonging to the brotherhood
of engineer*. Many of these trains
have to be guarded by the police aud
military, to prevent violence from the
striking engineers and their sympa
thisers, several attempts having been
made to run trains off tbe tracks.
In Illinois and all tbe western
states, the farmers have risen up
against the railroad monopolies aud
their skinning policy; the railroad
companies have been charging tbe far
niers as much for shipping their gram
as tbeir cropa are worth, and the men
of toil intend no longer to submit to
being robbed ia that manner oy these
soulless corporations, and their indig
ualion and opposition has been arous
ed to the highest degree. They will
control the elections and insist upon
such legislation as will not dare be de
nied and which will relieve tbem from
the oppression under which tbey are
impoverished. Corporations have
their rights, but the people, from whom
the corporations received life, also
have rights which these institutions
have been imposing upon with impu
nity. We think a day of reckoning is
approaching —tbe people all over the
land seem to be aroused. In Califor
nia tbe test at the polls ia railroad and
anti-railroads, and tbe latter have car
ried tbe day in the recent elections.
In the adoption of a new Constitution
b> the people of this state, two weeks
ago, tbe people have said by 144,000
majority, that railroad and other cor
porations shall be curbed and restrict
ed in future, in tbe powers and priv
ileges tbey exercise.
Thus, we see that these soulless but
sining concerns, can still be reached
by tbe people whom tbey outrage and
are likely to be brought to their sen
ses.
Why Mr. Darlington Did Not toU
For iL
To tbe Editor of Tbe Pros :
It it now deemed a certainty that
tbe Province of Bengal cannot ascape
a famine.
Sir : Yesterday I presented myself
et the election precinct at the corner
of Seventeenth and Cherry streets,
Tenth ward, and offered my ticket in
favor of the new constitution, and was
informed I had voted. Now, as
business bad detained me all day at
West Chester, I could not see bow
this could be, but I was informed I
bad no redress. Permit me to say to
tbe scoundrel who was so kind as to
relieve me of the dutiee of citisen
ship that hereafter I prefer to do my
own voting. It is needless to add be
voted me against tbe new constitution.
The old constitution was good enough
for him.

1 Most of tho Philadelphia cottoo
- and woolen factories are in full opera
i tiao at reduced wages. Carpet man
, u/lecturers with very few exceptions
are all closed owing principally to a
diflereeco between the weavers and
1 manufacturers, caused by a redue
; tioo in weaving of two cents per
yard. Manufacturers as a general
thing my prices of carpet have been
reduced so much, and sake are so
slow they are not very anxious to

i weavers should agree to work at the

A Washington Judge has decided

Under the heading of "Christian j|
Statesmen," the World deals very't
plainly and bluntly with (hat great i
hypocrite of the age. Gen. O. O. .
Howard, who in the uame of the I
Chistiau religion ha* beeu carrying
on a system of robbery upon the
government and the ignorant negroes
of the South. The World thus deals
with the model "Christian States
men" of the times:
Tbe Freedmen's Bureau, of which
Howard was put at the head, was the
greatest fraud of our times : it wa*
the prolifice mother of corrunliou
that spawned an evil progeny. When
Howard had so far yielded his virtue
as to consent to conduct that orgsnix
ed fraud in the spirit iu which it was
conceived, be entered the downhill
road, and nobody should be surprised
at the depth of hW descent. .
The pretext for organising the
Freedmen's Bureau was the welfare
of the Southern ncgroee, but tbe real
motive was to organise tbem as the
Southern wing of the Republican
party and consolidate the negro vote,
it was perfectly successful in this
enterprise so long as the Bureau was
maintained The Chris
tian sainlliness which be affocted
was useful to his omployera as a tcreeu
to their real design, and he counted
on tbeir interest in keeping up the
imposture to protect him against in
quiry and to whitewash him if he
should be accused. How well
founded were his expectations on this
point is nroved by the persistence
with which he has been shielded
against all former arraignments, and
by the hopes of escape which be still
cherishes.
Learning, as h* early learnt, that
his eloak of piety was wanted by his
employers to conceal their uncrupu
lous designs, be was not slow to per
ceive that it might be of equal utility
to himself. Tbe more efficient be was
in promoting tbeir obje Hs, the more
safely he could pursue bis ewn. He
knew that bis employer* could not af
ford to have tbe Freedmen's Bureau
exfflode by unmasking tbe useful
hypocrite they had placed at its head;
and naturally enough, he was not
inclined to serve Satan and let others
all the wages We have
no idea that tbe two or three hun
dred thousand dollar* which this
bright consummate flower ofChristain
piety is accused ef embeuling from
tbe poor negroee ia anything like the
real sum of bis peculations. He
pretended that tbe greater part of
tbe money bo bandied was expended
in rations for starving black sufferers.
. . . . We trust that thoee choice
jewels and bright arnameuU of tbe
Republican party, its "Christian
Statesmen," may all at last get their
deserts, Colfax has gone to his own 1
place"; Howard is likely to follow
him, but tbey bv no means exhaust
tbe list of these unctuous sons of grace
who addressed Sabbath school* on
Sunday that they might steal with
lees suspicion on tbe other days ofj
tbe week.
The Republican party introduced
a new standard of morals, a standard
wbicb mad* party xeal tbe highest
virtue and a substitute for all other*;
and this dangerous teaching is bearing
its necessary fruit in tbe wide pread
and deplorable corruption which is
the common topic of tbe time. Tbe
party "of great moral ideas," and.its
later bloaeoms of "Cbristain states
manship" have brought the country
to the moral condition in which we
now find it.
THE FINANCIAL* SITUATION
View* or Ex Gov. Horatio Sey
mour
A letter on the financial condition
of tha country from ex governor Sey
mour, written on the 27th of Septem
ber to n gentleman in Wisconsin, is
published ia tha papers of that state.
He says:
"I think tha paoie, as it ia called
baa come to stay awhile. Tha truth
is it ia no panic at all, it ie a fact.
Tha brokers and bankers failed be
cause tbev could not pay (heir debts
They paia usurious interest, and used
every device to keep afloat. There'
was no excitement in the public mind
until they made it by their failures.,
They tried, in order to show good bal-j
aoce sheets, to keep the price of
stock and bonds above their real
value. Tbey hoped to shove them
off upon others. They succeeded iuj
doing thie to a largo extent, but at'
last there was no one to buy. Wheo
Cooke and others say tbey have ample
securities, they mean they have a
margin if old prices art to rule again.
Ido noibelkve that tbey can pay,
their debts except by tome form of*
compromise. Creditors may b* glad
to lake what tbey ran get and call
it even. They may take stocks or
bonds at old quotations, etc., etc. We'
have made too many railroads, too
much stock, too many bonds. In
time they may come into play, bat we
must wait awhile. We have now as
many miles of railroad as all the
world besides. In addition to our
vast indebtedness, we are an extrava
gant people. We must conse down
in our expenses. The failure ofj
bankers and brokers, the stoppage of
works and expenditure*, and the very
act of economising will at the outset
make a great deal of trouble. The
people of the country have had a 1
saturnalia. Tbey most suffer now the
pains and penalties. I think we are
to have a gradual settling down of
prices and shrinking of fortunes. It,
may ba that the government will step,
in and inflate th* currency. In that
case gold will go up and wa shall go!
out to sea again. Th* future is fell
of uncertainty. I look for troubled
time*. By end by it will clear up.
and yoo sad your contemporaries will ,
gather in the fruits of the toils the
scheme* aad •peculations of th* day.
Increased potto latino and production
will in time float off the stranded v*o-j
tores of tha day. I may not live to,
sea this, but yoo and others of yourj
years will reap the benefit of tbis,
state of things. In the meantime,
take cart to koop ae safe aa yoo can ,
whllo tho tUrm rages. I cannot say
lam sorry tho crash has come, ft ,
will do much mischief now; it would ,
do more if put off." ,

Christmas within granite walls, sur
rounded by the terrible potentiality
of prisou discipline dawned cheerlessly
upon William M. Tweed yesterday
morning. The wiudow of his cell
looks over the city that he ouce held
in his grasp. His jkeepers say that
when lie was mustered for roll call he
looked an octogeuarian, bis portly
figure shrunken, his shoulders stoop
ing ss with ago, his fsce wrinkled,
his eyes expressive only of the resigna
tion' of utter hopelessness. The
keepers thought he looked more de
spondent then on any day since he
donned the prison uniform, and infer
red that the associations of the
Christmas festival intensified the
poignancy of his punishment Hit
appetite was oot keen when he sat
dowu to a breakfast that did uot look
as if cooked by the orison cook. Af
terward he returned to the hospital
ward, and sitting by the stove, buried
himself in thought. At 9 o'clock he
took his usual walk through the
penitentiary grounds. The Ilellevue
steamer rescues the islaud first at
10:30 ▲. hi. When she arrived yes
terday the prisoner had returned (•
his duties in the hospital ward. A
spring wagon drawu by two bay
horses met the steamer at 10:30. Al
most lbs first persons to pass the gang
plank were Gen. Richard M. Tweed,
; William M. Tweed, Jr., and 8. Foster
Dewey, who still fills the place of
private secretary to the fallen mag
oate. They went straight to the
! spring wagon as though it had been
1 sent especially for their accommoda
tion, and driven to the visitors
I entrance of the prison. Theuce tbey
'were taken without delay to the hoe
pita!. The dowu cast prisoner aroused
' himself from his self communion as
>|his sons entered. He even smiled at
I I hw embraced them. Gen. Tweed told
'[him of the acquittal of ex Mayer
ItUall. The prisoner was taken by
'surprise at first and said : "He owes
I it to his social position." His sons
I urged a more hopeful view of the
• circumstance. They wished to p*ir>
: tuads him that it was a manifseta
| lion of an altered public eeutiment
I which would have a very happy influ
> ence upon his owe chances for a new
1 trial and a reversal of hie sentence.
1 A glance at the granite walls and the
' striped uniforms of the occupants of
' the beds around chilled the dawning
' hope of the prisoner, but hie eyee
'sparkled. "It was right that ha should
Iba acquit tad," he said at last "If
there was aaything done that was
j wrong he never profited by it." He
' listened to the hopeful inferencee
draws by his devoted sons until the
i weight of ten years seemed to have
. bees railed from his shoulders. H#
.'stood erect and looked as though he
i forgot that bis brown uniform was tha
. badge of a prisoner. The conversa
tion turned upon the eecape of Prince
Hal of Harlem. "How does Breoao
II take it Y* he inquired. "Ia there any
;chaoce of recapturing him?" Tbey
. canvassed the eecape, and concluded
that unless Genet ia a bigger fool
I than they took him to be be is al
ready in a place of safety. "Well,"
said the Hoes at last, "he always was
tricky, but I didn't think he would be
capable of putting thoee who trusted
' him in such a fix."

A Puppy with an Inquiring Mind
From tke Virginia Enterprise.
But* Printer Putnam, who has
been eo-journing in this city for a
few days past, returned to Carson last
.Sunday noon. He was presented a
fine Newfoundland pup, about four
month* old, while her*. For stf*
keeping this juvenile son of his mother
was placed in the Enterprise press
room last Saturday night. Aftsr
inspecting the running of a job press
for some time with much interest, be
went wp to it and stuck his nose be
tween a pair ol cog-wheels. Leaving
: between the wheels a piece of skin off
j the end of bis nose about the sise of
'a trad* dollar,be retired to a corner
land sat down for a time to reflect
upon his first lemon. After he had
for sow* time pawed and licked hb
wound his attention was attracted to
the bed of the power press, which
sevmed to be shooting in ami out in a
playful manner. After tbb he start
ed— encoumged by seeing it retreat
ing from him—hut was almost in
stantly knocked down by the swift
return of the bed. Here he thought
he bad found a foe worthy of hie
steel. At it he went tooth and nail,
and was regularly knocked down as
each paper was struck off, for about
three hours. 11* then sat down and
watched the "thing" the rest of the
night, bobbing his head up and
down as the b*u plat* mo veil in and
out, hut cured uf battling with it.
Being shut up in the room ami left to

until his master bad taken him a

then 'ound that he was as full of ink t
as one of the ink balls used by prin- *1

Being an affectionate and playful 1
CUM, the consternation which he
created aboard that train can well be ]
imagined. At last it was fouud

The Strike of the PennflvlvMi*
Hail road Employe*
Aa baa beeu announced, ou Friday
last 29th about noon, all the locomo
live engio*#n employed by the I'eun
aylvania Company, a corporation
which operate! all the leased liuea of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
•tapped work, aome leaving their
locomotives, with paaaeuger trains
attached, standing on the tracks
miles distant from any station. These
lines consist of the rittsburg, Fort
Wayue and Chicago, the Clevelaud
and' Pittsburgh, and Pittsburg and
St Louis Railroad. The cause of the
strike was a reduction of ten per cent,
on the wages of all persons counected
with these reads, from the presidents
down to the laborers.
To a reporter who applied on Satur
day last for information relative to
the affair, the General Manager of {
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
gave the following statement:
lie said: "Two years apo the wages
nf the locomotive engineers were
increased ten per cent, and they are
the last par-sous in the world *who
ought to have struck as they did,
because we bad simply reduced their
pay to what tbey were originally j
given. We found it neceasory to
ntake this reduction, and we expected
thet they at least would not have
given us the most trouble. Hut
though the trains were stopped ou
these loads for a time, they ere to day
being run on regular time. We have
found in this emergency that there

Pittsburgh, Dec. 38.—The general strike
of tbe engineer* es the several line# of the
Peantylvania Railroad threatens to assume
alarming propertiens Disturbances are
reported at some peinU which ma/ possi

last night was more grave than at any lira*
since lbs strike begun. All the rnilread
lines for the West refuse te receive any
more freight, and Eastern freight from
New York, Philadelphia, and othor points
is accumulating rapidly, blockading all
the siding tracks for a considerable dis
taace from Pittsburgh. All the accom
medstion trains on the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wsyne, sad Chicago, the Pittsburgh and
Erie, the Cleveland and Pittsburgh, sad
tha Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St Louis,
Railroads havs been taken off, with the
exception of one, which left last svsnlag
at 6 o'clock, drawn by a locometiva run
by an employee lis one of the machine

ever, have heen enabled to leave daily oiv

consolidated at certain paints in ths west

•re blockaded with endless strings of
freight cars, end the moving of freight will
be difficult If net impossible for days.

THE PIRATE SHIP AT THE BOT
TOM OF THE OCEAN.
The ,'Virginius Sunk.
Lieut. Commander Haswell. of the Os
sipec, mado the following statement to
day concerniag the lots of the Yirginius .-
The Oesipec left tho Tortugas, with the
Yirginus in tow, on the morning of the 19
insL They had (air weather until the af
ternoon of (Saturday. Tho following
day a gale sprung up and they continued
to have had weather, aad when the Yir
ginius was signaled the was leaking badly.
Captain Walters, then determinod to
shape bis course for Charleston, South
Carolina, but as they got into smooth wa
ter the Yirginius behaved better, and the
water was kept out of her fire-room. On
the morning of Christmas day, however,
{the severe weather having continued, the
: Yirginius w as again leaking as bad as ev
er, and the vessels put into Frying Pan
: Shoals, about ten ten miles south of Cape
Fear light, where smoother water could
\be obtained. Here the vessels came to
anchor, Captain Walters hoping the Vir
ginlua would ride out the gale. Before
daylight the next morning (Friday) Com
| mender Weodrow signaled that the
Virgioiua was leaking k ßapidly,
with fires cut and the pumps stopped, and
the crew wisbod to he taken off. Boats
, ware lowered from the llssipec at daylight
land by 7 a. m ail on board the Yirglniua
ware transferred to the former vessel. As
' a heavy sea was running, the work of re
! moving the crew was on# of much Sanger
and difficulty, and therefore no lives wtre
risked in endeavering to save sheir person
al effects, or any other property of the
■ Yirginius. The hawser of the Yirginius
was cut, and a buoy attached, to mark her
position, in case she sank out of sight.
The Ossipee remained at anchor during
j the day. and at a quarter past four o'cleck
Jp. m., the Yirginius, which had Wen
gradually settling, went to the bottom,
j She sank in eight fathoms of water, and
her topmast remained above the surface.
The Ossipee then resumed her voyage to
,! Ibis port The naval officers were very
j reticent to-day, and the above statement
, was not obtained until the United States
J District Auerney was communicated with,

J THE TRAOEDYVN THE PINKS.
A Farmer Murders his Wife and
Four Children —Thsn Cuts his
Throat with en Axe —A Man who
had Loet all Hope.
11 COrreapondene* of tk* Montreal <la*ft!c.
| Woodstock, Dec. 2L —Yesterday our
I usually quiet town was moved to a fear
. ful state of excitement by a repert that
>| Timothy Topping, a farmer living in
, West Oiford, and known by nearly every
, person here, had killed his wife and four
children, and then cut his own throat.
The story was too appalling to be credi
| ted, and duriag the afternoon every "rig"
[that could be secured was brought into
[requisition, and hundreds visited the scene
jof crime to see and learn the particulars.
, The distance is eight miles from Wood
stock end three from Sweaborg. on a ridge
'j of laad called "The Pines." of West Ox-
J ferd The land was formerly covered
i with pine timber, but apparently fire has
I I run through it, and now nothing remeins
11 but pine stumps and half decayed timber.
It ia one of the roughest farms ia the
county. The house is frame and very un
j comfortable.
Topping is the youngest sen of a large
family of that name, was born near here,
and is now about forty years of age. His
'j wife was a daughter of the late Adamj
'l Dodge, who was one of the pioneer set
i tiers of the township and whose numer-
I <>us brothers and sisters are settled in the
: neighborhood and in good circumstances
! Topping sold an old cleared farm a few
Jyearsago, and moved further south to the
j new place mentioned, hoping to better his
j circumstances, but as be remarked tea
! friend lately, to whom he appealed for
. advice : "He was getting further behind
every year, and he was afVaid his wife
and family would yet come to beggary and
starvatien." Ho has Iwo sons about twenty,
to twenty.two years old, I# whom he
intrusted the work on the farm and he
attended to the duties of auctionei r, and
once or twice as assessor or collector for
the township. He belonged to a sect that
believe, or at least profess to believe, thsl
there is neither reward nor punishment
beyond the grave Hence, without the
fear ef God before his eyes, be (hit It to be
bis duty to place his helpless wife and
fkmily beyond the possibility ef starvation
litre, end his only regret new is that he
failed to effect his purpose In killing two
more, whom he supposes cannot provide
for themselves.
During the past week he seemed to be
brooding over something thai troubled
him, end it is supposed that he did uot
go to bed during tha night. About
6o'clock on .Sunday morning the three
eldest sons and a daughter abrut 17 years
old, who were sleeping up stairs, were
awakened by something; they supposed it
was their mother, calling suddenly "Boys'
and nothing more was heard by them,
hut on proceeding to the heed of the
steira they sew their fether coming up with
e knife in his henJ. Which tboy suc
ceeded in wresting from him. In the
tusen lime e hoy uf IX.asrho wes to be his
next victim, sprang down the Udder end
ran into the lane, followed by hia father,
who had caught up the axe and given
chase, but fortunately for the boy he was
swifter uf foot. Finding that the boy had
escaped and the other intending victim
was guarded by her brothers, he drew
the sharp edge of the axe across his own
throat, and would have completed his
bloody work, but Ihe sons were too quick
for him Haviug matched the axe away
and secured his aims, he was placed in a ,
chair and guarded by three constables
where he still sat when seen by me at
4oc}pck. His windpipe was cut so that
lie could not speak; but ho employed him
self all day in that bloody condition
writing with a pencil. He expressed a
desire to have a c—rtain lawyer brought
from Ingorsoll to make his will.
During tho holding of the inquest in
his presence, in reply to questions, he
stated in writing that he was not sorry for
what he had done, but regretted that he
had failed to kill the other two; that he
!thought the two eldest could do for them
stives, and did net intend to touch them.
!In one corner of the room stands a bed
stead, on which tho two murdered girl*
were left by the brutal father, having
driven the sharp axe into the brain of
each. On a trundle bed lay the two
i boys, the youngest, aged five, with his
. head severed from his body; the other,
i sieved years old, with bis head half cut
jin two. In the adjoining room lay the
wife, with her head so fearfully gashed
that recognition even by her friends would
be difficult. The most sickening sight ef
all was the criminal, sitting upright in a
chair with his head clotted with blood and
all his clothes saturated, a hole so large
in his throat that the cavity of the wind
pipe was discernible. His breath escaped
through the aperture, and articulation
was impossible. A number of doctors
were in attendance, and when I left were
proceeding to sow up the gap, with sotne
confidence of saving life. Great sympathy
is felt for the connecticns of the wretched
family, who are industrious and respecta
ble.
INCENDIARY ARRESTED AT SUN
BURY-FULL CONFESSION.
Sunbury, December 23.—Captain T.
Roach, Chief of Police, to-day succeeded
in ferreting otft the incendiary of the fire
of Saturday night, and arrested Tom Mor
ton, who made a ful! confession of the
crime, stating that he was ia company
with another man whom be did not know,
who premised him money to do the work
and then ran away. Morton gave the
teutehetook, and confes-ed that he set
both places on fire, and is corroborated by
other parties who mot him on the route.
He is a man not of sound mind, but is very
skilful in that direction, and has been
charged with similar offences in other
counties. His trial will take place here in
January. He bad procured matches to go
out again to-night.
