Ha Wm Touched to Tear.
WABiToK. Feb. 27 The contested
electn case of Atkinson vs. Tendletou was
called up in the House immediately after
the nading of the journal, and ihe fluor w as
a-orded l. Mr. IVndi.ton. Mr PmdhtJn j
wid that althoiigli he knew he was addrrhS- .
ing a jury w hich was prejudiced against
him. be felt it a duty to speak in his own
behalf. He reviewed the evidence in detail j
and declared his belief that he had beeu
fairly and honestly elected.
Mr. Cooper, of Ohio, closed the debate,
supporting the claims of the coiitestaut. The
vote was then taken on the minority re-solution
declaring Pendleton entitled to the seat.
Il was d. leated yea-. 142 ; Days, Ktil-a
alnct party vote. The vote was then taken
on the majority resolution. The Democrats
refrained from voting in order to have the
contestant seated by lesi than a qnorjuj, o
that the question of the right of the Speaker
to count, a quorum may be taken before the
courts. The vote resulted yeas 1GZ, nays
O. the Speaker counting a quorum. Mr.

no quorum, but the Speaker ignored him,
ai.d the newly-elected member, Mr. Atkin

the oath of office.
A MTIABLE SCENIC.
A rather pathetic and pitiable scene oc
curred immediately after the vote had been
taken uuseatii.g Pendleton, and the gentle
man who had been illegally drawing the
salary of a('-'!(:rcssmaii for the pa-t jenr was
the principal actor. Afterthe oath had been
a Imir.istered to Mr. Aikinson and be had
tsketi his "eat on the Republican side, all
eyes naturally turned to the I)eniocratic
side to see how the ex -member took the
medicine. It ai truly a pitiable sight.
Pen. ileum seemed to be dazed by the pro
caedin;s. He remained seated and made no
effort to ruuve until a sympathetic friend
sti'pis-d up andgrased hisyoungand lender
hand. The youthf.il statesman was too full
fjr utterance, and gve w ay to tears. At that
stage of the proceedings, ecvera! other Dem
ocratic memiters came to the rescue, and in
a few minutes Mr. Pendleton had braced up
considerably, and when last seen was mak
ing his way toward the door. During Mr.
Pendleton's stay here he has become quite a
favorite among the psges, nearly every one
of wliom rushed up to him .Kirin; the ni )St
eying moments in his career, and shook his
hand wishing him better luck next lime.
Clark Pays Tho Penalty.
Waymcsih-bg. I' , Feb. 2i. With a lie
on his lijs. else an innocent man, Ueorge
Clark was hanged in the jail yard here this
morning for the killing of William McCaus
land. the Allegheny county drover. 'I am
innocent," were Clark's last words, and
while lliat awful truth or shocking false
hood was still ringirg in the ears of the
breathless gathering assembled to witness
the execution, the gallows yawned and the
lw was satisfied.
The hanging took place in an enclosure
between the Court House and the jail. A
crowd of probably 2'K) eople witnessed the
execution. The trap was sprung at 7 min
utes afier 11 o'clock. In 12 minutes the vic
tim was prjnounoed dead. His nerk had
been broken.
1 'iara left his cell precisely at 11 o'clock
and mounted the scaffold in company with
Sheriff Goodwin, Rev. Maxwell. Drs. Bur
roughs and rilom, and a son of Sheriff
tnKslwie He walked alone without assist
ance. What be had to say was repeated in a
low. husky voice. All on the scaffold knelt
during a brief prayer by the minister, after
which Clark said again he was innocent and
hoped the murderer of McCausland would
yet 1 found.
Afterthe body was cut down it was turn
ed over to the undertaker, designated by the
County Commissioners. It was afterwards
turned over to Clark's friends, who, with a
team awaited it. A surgingcrowd of probably
S.i"! people followed the coffin to the cor
, ered wagon, into which it was placed and in
which it was driven away towards Mason
town. The funeral train was a long one. In the
huge covered wagon with the corpse was
Clarence Clark, a brother, and John Taylor
and John Bowman, brothers-in-law of the
victim. Following them came buggies wi
oils, horvnien and footmen. It was after
dirk when the procession arrived at the
graveyard at Little Chicag, near Clark's
old home. The grave had been preiwired
and was ready to receive the coffin. There
was no religious services at the grave. By
the tinkering light of torches the remains
were lowered to their last resting place and
the muffled voices of the curious crowd as
sembled formed the requiem for bis rest.

America' Richest Man.
Ntw York, K bruary 37. The admission
to probate of the will of the late John Jacob
Astor makes William Waldorf Astor the
richest man in America, if not ia the world.
The estates of John Jacob Astor and Wil
liam Waldorf Astor, consolidated by yester
day's proceedings, a believed to be tquiva
lent to very nearly $ SW.OOO.OUO.
William Waldorf Astor is the only living
person who can U-!l the precise value of the
estate, or what his father was actually worth.
Mr. Sou'.bruayd, who was an executor of the
last will nf John Jacob Astor father, said
that lie did not know how much John Jacob
Astor was worth. ' "1 don't believe," be slid
"there is a person living. exaeptiQg the son,
wbocan ruras the value of the estate within
a million or two. I dou'l think the estate
of William Waldorf Astor will be quite
IJKi.omhsJ. br as a matter of fact I don't
kuow as mur about the Cti-ts as I shall.'
The lawyer further said that John Jacob
Astor did not tran-fer any of his property
before bis death except a small parcel de
sired by his son. At the time of the trans
fer a report was printed that he had given
away the bulk of ibe estate so as to guard
against a will contest after his death. The
date of the will shows that is was executed
just after the death of Mrs. John Jacob As
tor. Over 1 50 Lives Lost.

A PalrofWBt Virginia Female High
way Rotiseraon Horse.
V-'Hrrxivi. Wesi Va.. March 2.-A tre
mendous sei.sati n Ism been created iu the
we-tern part of this State by the arrest of
two women, tje wives of wtll-to-do far
mers, for frofrssior.a! highway robbery.
Some of their adventures were as bold as
any of Jack tsheppard's or that ever figured
iu a romance.
A series of sensational highway robberies
hare lately been committed in a remote part
of Jackson county. Oil Friday night A. B.
Mit' bel'. a well-to-d- farmer wss stopped
on the roa.l, near his home apparently by
two nicked men, who j.renented revolvers
and demanded his uiooey. While the rob
bers ' were searching Miu-ixill a party of
friends arrived unex.ecledly and the rob
bers took to fl'ghL
THI BKiHWATHEif CArJTBID.
Tbey were pursued, took refuge in s house,
but were finally captured. The pursuers
were amazed to find, when the masks were
torn from their faces, that tbey were two
women, the wives of estimable farmers in
the community, named Mitchell and Jones.
The women broke down, and confessed to a
larte number of bold robberies. Restitution
will be made to tbose persons robbed. Tbe
women sav that tbey began their robberies
at first in onlerto scare their husbands, who
were addicted to drink and kept late hours.
Their unexpected success encouraged them,
and tbey have kept them up for several
months for the money to be made, luey
are known to have secured nearly $K00 from
two robberies alone.
Among other robberies which tho women
confessed to committing was one on a cattle
drover named Hugh Nicliolson a week ago.
Nicholson was riding through a lonely part
of the country, four miles from the locality
in w hich the women lived, when be was
suddenly ordered to bait.
T1I1.T COl'LD SHOOT I.IKE COWBOYS.
He put sours to his horse, but two revol
ver shots disabled his horse and brought
him to the ground. Tbe robbers then went
leisurely through his pockets and secured
all tbe money that Nicholson, carried.
which, however, happened to lie a small j
sum. They then assisted him to his feet, I
bade hi m good bye and left. Nicholson has
no suspicion as to the identity of his assail
ants. The exposure of the leraale robbers
has created an intense sensation in that sec
lion. The family connections of both wo
men are very extensive, and a strong effort
wiil be made to save them from prosecution
and hush the matter up, if possible.
Congressional Forecast,
Washixo.ox, March 2 Congress appar
ently has settled down to a strictly business
basis and is making rapid progress in the
consideration and disposition of legislation.
The Senate will duplicate this week to a
great extent the program of last week. It
is hoped, and by some Senators believed,
that a vote will be reached Ibis week on the
Blair bill. The Senators are tired of having
it banging overtheir headsand some of those
w ho had expected to speak 011 it have aban
doned that intention iu order to cut the de
bate as short as msy do.
Iu case a vote is reached on the bill before
theendoflbe week, Mr. Sherman will move
to have his bill declaring trusts to be unlaw
ful taken up for discussion. He will be an
tagonized by Mr. Frye, who under instruc
tions from the committee reporting the
measure, will ask that the Pacific Railroad
funding bill be made the order of the day.
This contest for position will occur w henever
the educaiional bill is out of the way if not
this week, then later.
Although considerable progress was made
in that direction last week, the order to act
on public buildings and bridge bills is still in
lorce. This class of measures, therefore, will
continue to occupy the time of the Senate in
the morning hours r.f the W'jea or until the
calendar is declared.
If Mr. George is ready a portion of tbe
morning hours will be devoted tothediscus
eion of the resolution proposed by M. Evarts
declaring the power of the Senate to elect a
1'resident pro tern, to serve during an entire
session of tbe body. Mr. George will oppose
the resolution on the ground of unconstitu
tionality. The outlook in the House is for a week de
void of interesting proceedings in compari
son with what has gone before. The election
contest of Featherstone vs. Cate will prob
ably be pushed to a conclusion Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday are set apart by
special order for action upon public building
bills, of which there is a large accumulation.
In the Role of Granger.
Yallev Falij, Kas , March 2. A mask
ed man entered Hicks fc Geph art's bank
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, held up
the cashier with two revolvers and robbed
the bank of $4,000. He was dressed likes
farmer and had his fane bound tip in flannel.
Before the casliier'had handed him his mon
ey be bad asked permission to go behind the
railing, where there was a stove, as he bad a
severe toothache and thought the heat might
mitigate it. The cashier granted the request
and the stranger passed behind the railing.
Once there he took a revolver from his pock
et, and, covering the cashier with it, diiect
ed him to leave the builjin;. The cis'iier
left. The robber then locked the d.ior, se
cured the booty and escaped, though closely
pursued by citizens, to wiiom the cashier
had given tbe alarm.
Meridian, Kss., March 2. A man an
swering the description of the robbar who
stole 1,000 from Hicks & Gp'isrt's Bank
at Valley Falls, Kis, yesierdiy, registered
at a hotel here las niht. When two police
officers who bad been notified of tbe arrival
of the stranger went to the hotel to arrest
him he re-iisted and was fired upon by both
officers and instantly killed, one bullet en
etrating the heart and another piercing the
right lung. The stolen money was found on
the outlaw's persan, and he was positively
iilentified as one Ribertson. A Coroner's
jury to-day exonerated the offi-rs for hav
ing caused the death of the bank robber.
Prohibition Not a Success.
Pes Mot mo, Feb. 27. The inauguration
of Governor Boies this afternoon was car
ried out with great enthusiasm among the
Democrats. Visitors had come from all
over the State and from other States. The
oath of office was ad in i a is-1 ered in tbe Hall
of the House of Representatives to the Gov
ernor and l.'eutenant Governor-elect, and
Governor Boies then read his inaugural.
In his inaugural address Governor Boies
prvcrcded to take up one by one the most
important public questions at present agi
tating the people of the State of Iowa, dis
cuirig them at great length.
On the q lest ion of prohibition the Gov
ernor stated that the prohibitory laws bad
been despised, disregarded and ignored in
most of the large cities of tbe Stale from the
day of iu birth down to the piesent time.
The use of intoxicating liquors as a bever
age.bad not diminished. Millions and mil
lions of tbe capital of citizens had been in
vested in tbe businesst and then it had been
coldly wiped out without on effort to com
pensate tboe who bad been rained thereby.
In his judgment, the chief obstacle to the
enforcement of the law lay iu the fa t that it
was a cruel violation of one of the most
valuable of human rights. What 1 iwa
tided was practical legbla'ion on the sub
ject legislation that was broad enough to
cover more than the views of a single class.
A Mad Dog's Eight Victims.
New Yore, Feb. 27. Dr. A. L!atilard, the
consulting veterinarian of tl.c Patear In
stitute, has decided that a do; killed at B. J
side, L. I., s few days ago was mad. Toe
body of this dog was sent to him f w exami
nation. He fjund the stomach full of hay
and rags. All the other post m nera ex
aminations also indicated madness. Before
the dog was killed be bit three men, horse
and a dozen other dogs. Four f these dogs
heve already been killed. The others are
now nobody knows where, with the germs
of rabies implanted in them. As the period
of incubation from the time the anicn u was
bitten until the first symptoms of rabies are
apparent averages sixty days, tl are likely
to be at itast six mad dogs in Long Islan 1 1 e

Baptize:! In th Wash-Tub.
riTTsscan, Feb. 27. Wm. H. Sroilb, the
condemned wife murderer. J;as given up all
hope of a commutation of h sentence, and
is getting ready to be shuffled off on tbe day
appointed. He spent the best part r( tbe
day yesterday with his f.irnit 'pastor, Rev.
J. H. Tryor.of the Ebenexer Baptist Cbuich.
At the close of th visit Smith professed
himself converted and dtsired to lie baptized.
But there was a difficulty io the way, the
tenets of the church requiring baptism by
immersion.
In this difficulty Sheriff McCandlrew was
sent for to arrange the matter. He protested
be did nut want to stand in the way of
Smith's salvation, but he did not see how be
could allow his charge to go to the river to
be baptized, and as to putting in a baptismal
fount is the jail tot lids especial event.be
knew the county authorities would not stand
tbs expense. At length it was arranged that
a bath-tub in the jail should be adjusted for
the purpose, aud no riak incurred either of
the drowning or escape of the prisoner. The
ceremony was conducted with due solem
nity. The Border Claims.
A Washington stiecial says : Representa
tive Maisb, who has charge of the Border
Raid bill, of Pennsylvania, said to-day that
there was every indication that the measure
would pass the House. It will be favorably
reported from committee as soon as the At
torney Osneral's briefs are distributed. Mr.
Maish said it was wonderful what wide
spread interest there was in this measure.
The people who suffered from the rebel dep
redations in Southern Pennsylvania have
scattered all over the Fnio and repiesenta
tives from the West and Southwest are daily
receiving petitions from their constituents
who lave au interest in the claims to sup
port tbe bill. If it passes the House there
will be but littletroublein getting it through
the Senate. The Pennsylvania Commission
are dropping into the city and by to-morrow
will be able to do some active work.

O. F. SCHMCCKKK,
J. M. FIKH.
Attest: ALEX UIWTER,
I C. Colbjbs, Clerk. Poor Directors.
In presenting this, their report for the year
1S.VI, tbe public, as well as the directors,
should feel proud of the great and magnani
mous provisions made for the care, support
and maintenance of the poor, unfortunate,
and distressed people of the county. Every
year its blessings are being more and more
telt and appreciated, will) a comparatively
small cost to tbe taxable of the county.
And since the laws incorporating our
Home, and the general laws pertaining to
the same have been more rigidly enforced
and observed, the Home is rid of many of
the disturbing elements, and many more
comforts added, winch make it inviting and
pleasant to the inmates.
The many visits made to the Home
by prominent citizens, tbe reori of the
Grand Jury, show what pride the peo
ple have in the Home, and the great
sympathy they manifest lor the poor and
unfortunate in life. The Directors return
thanks to the generous public for the many
expressions of praise, advice and support
given them in the administration of the af
fairs and duties pertaining to the manage
ment of the Poor House.
Farm and Buildiiiju.
The farm is in a better state of cultivation
than was ever known. Reference to the re
port of the Siewaid will fully confirm the
assertion. Al present it presents a fine ap
pearance. Tbe buildings are in good repair,
except the wash-house, which will have to
be rebuilt the coming year, on account of
its being badly erected in the first place.
During the year the Directors repaired a
good portion of the large brick huuse by re
painting and papering nixny of tbe rooms,
which has greatly improved their appear
ance, and by another year the balance of tbe
building trill be reparied.
They have also had the barn and stables
repainted, which look well. They have also
contracted for the building of a new pig pen
and water closets, both of which are badly
needed, and were recommended by tue
Grand Jury. The other recommendation of
tbe Grand Jury, healing the buildings by
steam, is now having their careful consider
ion, and will likely be acted upon in tbe
near future.
SturL
The stock on the farm is in good order,
the cows fjruishing ail the milk, cream and
butter used at the home ; besides, for thd
past several years, they have sold a numter
of head. A thoroughbred shorthorn bull
was purchased last year, and iu time tbe
stork will bog really improved.
Tbe horses are good, yet getting old, sev
eral being on tbe farm for upwards of twen
ty years. Tbe colt purchased last year will
take tbe place of one in a taw years, when
they will be disosed of.
Children and Outihjor CUarUicf.
The children out in private families, and
indentured have all gojd homes and s re
well treated, only one complaint having been
made, which was immediately looked after
by the Directors. The sympathy of the pub
lic is enlisted in behalf of the unfortunate
and orphan children, which insures, to a
certain extent, good treatment.
Tbe applications for relief are more fre
quent each year, and is perhaps one of the
most difficult tasks, in many instances, to
know who are deserving of the charity of
the county, or when imposed upon. Many
of the cases now on the record receiving aid
will be called into the home, believing they
can be maintained aud male more comfort
able, at less expense, than at the amount
given them.
The inmates at the Home have all the
comforts they could desire, without being
extravagant. There have been but few com
plaints, and many expressions of praise for
the comforts and kind treatment granted
them, which is evidenced from the fact that
two of the inmates, aiiice their admission to
the Poor House' received a pension from
Government, but who still desire to slay,
rather than go away.
The Steward and Matron are untiring in
tbeir efforts to make ail comfortable, and
relieving tbe suffering and distressed. Too
much praise cannot be given them for the
interest they have shown, and the eire they
have taken, in the welfare of the Poor
House.
Death.
There were eleven deaths at the Home
during tbe year, all of whom had lived out
their allotted time, aud when the summons
came each was ready for tbe great change.
Religious services were held every month
by Elder W'eyand, and on one occasion by
Rev. Beat. Services were also held at each
funeral.
In closing this report the Directors hold
ing over desire to call the attention of tbe
public to tbeir appreciation and esteem of
G. F. Scbmucker, the retiring Director. His
sterling integrity, unbiased judgment, his
faithful performance of his duties, and tbe
interest be manifested in the management
of the Poor House, peculiarly fitted him for
the otBce.
We would further state that at the meet
ing of tbe Association of Poor Directors of
the State, held at A I toon a, the Board was
honored by Mr. Fike having been selected
ss one of the Vice Presidents of the Conven
tion. SCHEDULE "A."
