A riTHBLE KtSl A rather pathetic and pitiahle scene oc curred immediately after the vote bad been taken unseating Pendleton, and the gentle man who had been Illegally drawing the silary of a Congressman for the pa-tesr was the principal actor.

Clark Pays The Penalty. Wavsesiicko. Pa , Feb. 2'!. With a lie on his litis, else an innocent man, George Clark was hanged in the jail yard here this morning for the killing of William MoCaus land. the Allegheny county drover. "I am innoeent," were Clark's last words, and while thai aw ful tnith or shocking false hood was still ringing in the ears of the breathless gathering assembled to w itnes fie execution, the gallows yawned and the law was satisfied. The banging took piace in an enclosure between the t'jurt House and the jail. A crowd of probably 2'KJ people witnessed the execution. The trap was sprung at 7 min utes afier 11 o'clock. In 12 minutes the vic tim was prjnounced dead. II is nerk had been broken. t 'iars left bis cell precisely at 11 o'clock and mounted the scaffold in company with StieriffGisidwin, Rev. Maxwell. Prs. Bur roughs and I'llom. and a son of Sheriff Kstwir. He walked alone without assist ance. What he had to say was repeated in a low. husky voice. All on the scaffold knelt during a brief prayer by the minister, after which Claik said a'aiii he was innocent and hoed the murderer of McCausland would yet he found. After the body was cut dow n 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 J.ooo people followed the cofl'm to the cov ered wagon, into which it was planed 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 ClareniT Clark, a brother, and John Taylor and John Bowman, brothers-in-law of the victim. Following them came buggies wag ons, hors.'meii and footmen. It was after d irk when the procession arrived at the graveyard at Little Chicag), near Clark's old home. The grave hail been prered and was ready to recei ve the coffin. There was no religious service at the grave.

The admission to probate of the will of the late John Jacob Astor makes William Waldorf Astor the richest man in America, if not in lbs world. The estates of John Jacob Astor and Wil liam Waldorf Astor, consolidated by yester day's proceedings, arw believed to be equiva lent to very nearly $20,0un,iloU William Waldorf Astor is the only living person who can tell the precise value of the estate, or what his father was actually worth. Mr. Southmayd, who was an executor of the last will of John Jacob Astor's father, said that lie did not know bow much John Jacob Astor was worth. ' "I don't believe," be mid "there is a person living, excetiug the son, who can guess the value of Ihe estate within a million or two. I don't think the estate of William Waldorf Astor will be quite IJMi.OKHsiO. bul as a matter of fact I don't know as much about the facts as I shall." The law yer further said that John Jacob Astor did not Iran-fer any of his properly before bis death except a smalt parcel de sired by his son. At the time of the trans fer a report was printed that he had given away the balk of the estate so as to guard against a will contest after bis death. The dateof the will shows that is was exreuted just after the death of Mrs. John Jacob As tor.

March 2.-A tre roend'His si. sation Lbs been created iu lha we-tern part of this Stale by the arrest of two women, tlie wives of wll-to-Jo far mers, for profr-sionai highway robbery. Some of their adventure wcrs as bold as any of Jack Sheppanrt or that ever figured iu a romance. A series of sensational highway robberies have lately been committed in a remote part of J aik son county. Ou Friday night A. B. Mitchei'. a well-lo-dj farmer was stopped ou the road, near hi home apparently by two milked men, who jmienlerl revolvers and demanded his nionry. While the rob bers were searcbing Miuhell a party of friends arrived unexi-cteJly and the rob bers took to fl'ght. THE BIIIHWATMXS CArri'BID. They were pursued, took refuge iu a bouse, but were finally captured. The pursuer were amazed lo find, when the mask were torn from their faces, that they were two women, the wives of estimable farmers in the community, named Mitchell and Jones. The women broke down, and confessed to a large number of bold robberies. Restitution will be made lo those persons robbed. The women say tbat they began their robberies at first in order to scare their husbands, who were addicted to drink and kept late hours. Their unexpected success encouraged them, and they have kept them up for several months for ibe money to be made. They are known to have secured nearly $1000 from two robberies alone. Among other robberies which the women confessed to committing was one on a cattle drover named Hugh Nicholson a week ago. Nicholson was riding through a lonely part of the country, four roiie from the locality in which the women lived, when be was suddenly ordered to balL THEY COl'LD SHOOT LIKE COWBOYS. He put spurs to his horse, but two revol ver shots disabled bis horse and brought bim to the ground. The robbers then weut leisurely through his pockets and secured all the money that Nicholson, carried, which, however, happened to be a small sum. They then assisted him to his feet. bade bim good bye and left. Nicholson has no suspicion as to the identity of his assail ants. The exposure of the lemale robbers has created an intense sensation in tbat sec lion. The family connections of both wo men are very extensive, and a strong effort will 1 made to save them from prosecution and hush the matter up, if possible. Congressional Forecast, WAsitiNo.o.t, 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 this week on the Blair bill. The Senators are tired of having it hanging over their heads and some of those w ho had expected to speak on it have almn doned that intention in order to cut the de bate as short as may dc. Iu case a vole is reached on the bill before the end of the week, Mr. Sherman will move to have his bill declaring trusts to be unlaw ful taken up for discussion. He will be an tagoiiizd 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 educational 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 torce. This class of measures, therefore, will continue to occupy the time of the Senate in the morning hours of the week or until the calendar is declared. If Mr. George is ready a portion of the morning hours will be devoted tothedtscus sion of the resolution proposed by-M. Eva its declaring the power of the Senaic to elect a President pro tern, to serve during an entire session of the 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 w hat has gone before. The election contest of Featherstone vs. Catc will prob ably be pushed to a conclusion Monday. Tuesday and Wednes Uy are set apart by special order for action upon public building bills, of which there is a large accumulation. In the Role of Cranger. Yallev Falls, Kas . Mrch 2.

He was dressed like a farmer and bad his face bound up in flannel. Refore the casliierhad tianded him his mon ey lie had asked erinissiou 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 Ihe stranger passed behind the railing. Once there he took a revolver from his pock et, and, covering the cashier with it, diieet ed him to leave the building. The cisV.er left. The robber then locked the door, se cured the booty and escaped, though closely pursued by citizns, to wliom the cashier had given the alarm. Mebiiia5, Kas., March 2.

Prohibition Not a Success. lies Moikes, Feb. 27. The inauguration of Governor Boies this afternoon was car ried out with great enthusiasm among the Democrats. Visitor had come from all over the State and from other Stales. The oath of office was admiahlered in the Hall of the House of Representatives to the Gov ernor and Ieutenant Governor-elect, and Governor Boies then read his inaugural. In his inaugural address Governor Boies proceeded to take up one by one the most important public question at present agi tating the ple of the State of Iowa, dis cussing them at great length. On the question of prohibition tbe Gov ernor stated that the prohibitory laws had been despised, disregarded and ignored in most of the large cities of tbe State from the day of its birth down to the present time. The nse of intoxicating liquors as a bever age.had not diminished. Millions and rail lions of tbe capital of citizens had been in vested in the business, and then it had been coldly wiped out without one effort to com pensate ttuxe wbo had been ruined thereby. In his judgment, the chief obstacle to the enforcement of the law lay in the hu t that it was a cruel violation of one of the most valuable of human rights. Wha. I twa taded was practical legislation 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 Yobk, Feb. 27. Dr. A.

Baptize? In th Wash-Tub. PiTTsBi ao, Feb. 27. Wro. II. Smith, the condemned wife murderer, has given up all hope of a commutation of us sentence, and is getting ready to be shuttled off on t he day appointed. He spent the best part of the day yesterday witli his fjrmer pastor, Rev. J. H. Pryor.of the Ebemaer Huptist Church. At the close of the visit Smith professed himself converted and dired to be baptized. Put there was a dillictilty in the way, the tenets of the church requiring baptism by immersion. In this difficulty Sheriff McCamllese was sent for lo arrange the matter. He protested he did not want to stand in ihe way of Smith's salvation, but he did not ae how be could allow hi charge to gn to the river to be baptized, and a to putting in a baptismal fount in the jail lor this tpecisl event.be knew the county authorities would not stand the expense. At lengi h it was arranged that a bath-tub in the jail should be adjusted for the purjose, and no risk incurred either of the drowning or escape of ths prisoner. The ceremony was conducted with due solem nity. The Border Claims. A Washington sicial say : Representa tive Maisb, who hss 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 Ostiers!' briefs are distributed.

The people who suffered from the rebel dep redations iu Southern Pennsylvania have scattered all over the I'nion and representa tive from the West and Southwest are daily receiving petitions from their constituents who laveau interest in the claims to sup port the bill. If it isses tha House there will be but little trouble in 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.

In presenting this, their report for the year IKS!), the public, as well as the directors, should feel proud of the great aud 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 tell and appreciated, with a comparatively small cost lo the taxable of the county. And since the laws incorpiratiuj our Home, and the general laws pertaiuing to the same have been more rigidiy enforced aud observed, the Home is rid of many of the disturbing elements, and many more comforts added, which make it inviting aud phstsaiit to the inmates. The many visits made to the Home by prominent citizens, the reiHiris of the Grand Jury, show what pride the peo ple have in the Home, aud 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 ibe administration of the af fairs and duties lertaiuing to the manage ment of the Poor House. Fixrm and Building: The farm is in a better state of cultivation than was ever known. Reference to the re port of the Stewaid will fully confirm the assertion. At present it presents a fine op iearance. The buildings are in good repair, except the wash-house, which will have to be rebuilt the coming year, onacccountof its being badly erected in th first place. During the year the Directors repaired a good portion of the large brick house by re painting and papering nuny of tbe rooms, which has greatly improved their appear ance, and by another year the balance of tbe building will be reparied. They have also bad 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 recommeoded by tue Grand Jury. Tbe other recommendation of the Grand Jury, beating tbe buildings by steam, is now having their caref.il consider lion, and will likely be acted upon in tbe near future. StiKk. The stock on the farm is in good order, the cows fjrnishing all the milk, cream and butter used at the horns ; besides, for the past several years, they have sold a numlier of head. A thoroujhbred shorthorn bull was purchased last year, and iu time the stor k will besgreatly improved. Tbe horse are good, yet getting old, sev eral being on tbe farm for upwards of twen ty years. The colt purchased last year will take the place of one iu a fear years, when they will lie disposed of. Children and Outdoor din-Mr. The children out iu private families, and indentured have all good homes and are 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 if the unfortunate and orphan children, which insures, to a certain extent, good treatment. The applications for relief arc more fre quent each year, and is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks, in many instances, to know who are deserving of the charily of the county, or when imposed upon. Many of tbe cases now on the reeinl receiving aid will be called into Ihe home, believing ihey can be maintained aud ma le more comfort able, at less expense, than at the amount given them. Lunula. The inmates at the Home have all tbe 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, si, ice their admission to the Poor House' received a pension from Government, but who still desire to stay, rather than go away. The Steward and Matron are untiring in their efforts to make all comfortable, and relieving the suffering and distressed. Too much ptaise cannot be given them for the interest they have shown, and the care they have taken, in the welfare of the Pour Honse. PenlliK. There were eleven deaths at the Home during the year, all of whom had lived out their allotted time, aud when the summons came each was ready for the great change. Religious services were held every month by Elder Weysnd, and on one occasion by Iter. Beal. Services were also held at each funeral, In closing this report the Directors hold ing over desire to call tbe attention of the public to their appreciation and esteem of G. F. Schmucker, the retiring Director. His sterling integrity, unbiased judgment, his faithful performance of bis duties, and the interest he manifested in the management of Ibe Poor House, peculiarly fitted him for the otlice. We would further state that at the meet ing of the Association of Poor Directors of the 8tate, held at A I toon a, the Board was honored by Mr. Fike having been selected as one of tbe Vice Presidents of tbe Conven tion.
