WiSHisoToje, Feb. 27. The contested
clwin case of Atkinson vs. Pendietou waa
called up iu the House iiumetliately afier
the reading of the journal, and the floor was
aov jrded to Mr. Pendleton Mr. PendUtw
said that althiHigli he knew he was addrts
ing a jury which was prejudiced against

behalf. He reviewed the evidence in detail
and declared his belief that be bad been
fairly and boneslly elected.
Mr. Cooper, of Ohio, closed the debate,
support iuK the claims of lutcontestaut. The
ot waa tlien Uken on tbe minority resolu
tion declaring I'endleton entitled to the seat.
Ii u iL-leated ve. U2: nays, 13'J-a

on the majority resolution. The Iletuocrals
retrained flora voting in order to have the
Contestant seated by less than a quorum, so
that the question of the right of itie speaker
to count a quorum may be taken before the
courts. The vote resulted yeas 10J, nays
0. the Seaker counting a quorum. Mr.
. I'errall, of Virginia, raised the point of
no quorum, but the Speaker ignored him,
and the new ly-electsd member, Mr. Atkin
son, ap-ieared at the bar of the House, and
amid applause on the Republican aide took,
the oath of ollice.
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. Aftertheoath bad been
a iiiiinistered to Mr. Atkinson and be had
Ukea his trt on the Republican side, all
eyes naturally turutd to the Iemoeralic
aide to see how the ex member took the
medicine. It was truly a pitiable sight.
I'endleton seemed to be dazed by the pro
ceedings. He remained seated and made no
effort lo m ve until a sympathetic friend
stepped up andgrasiwd bisyoungand tender
hand. The youthoii statesman was too full
for utterance, and gave way to tears. At that
stage of the proceedings, several other Iem
ocratic nieiuiiers came to the rescue, and in
a few minutes Mr. Pendleton bad braced up
considerably, and when last seen was mak
ing bis way toward the door. During Mr.
Pendleton s stay here he has become quite a
favorite among the psges, nearly every one
of w:iom : ished up to bim daring the most
trying moments in bis career, and shook his
hand wishing him better hick next tune.
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. Ry
the flii kc.-ing liht of torches the remains
were lowered lo their last resting place and
the mntlled voice of the curious crowd as
sembled formed Ihe requiem for bis rest.

America' Richest Man.
New Yobk, Kbruary37. 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. Over ISO Lives Lost.

A Patrof Wne Virginia Female High
way Roblierion Horse.
Wsrruso. West Vs.. 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. A mask
ed man entered Hicks Gephart's bank
about ." o'clock yesterday afternoon, held up
the cashier with two revolvers and robbed
the bank of $4,000. 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. A man an
swering the description of the robbar who
stole f 1,0(K) from Hicks A Gephart's Bank
at Valley Falls, Kis, yesterdiy, registered
at a hotel here last ni-ht. When two police
officers who had been notified of the arrival
of the stranger went to the hotel to arrest
him he resisted and was fired upon by both
officers and instantly killed, one bullet pen
etrating the heart and another piercing the
right lung. The stolen money was found on
the outlaw's persjn. and he was positively
iilentifiej as one Rjbertson. A Coroner's
jury to-day exomyated the oftlwrs for hav
ing caused the death of the bank robber.
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. L:atitard, the
consulting veterinarian of tl.e Pa-te jr In
stitute, has decided that a do; killed st B. y
side, L. I., a few days ago was mad. Toe
body of this dug was sent to him f r exami

aminations also indicated madness. Before
the dog was killed be bit three men, a horse
and s dozen other dogs. Four of these dogs
hsve already been killed. The others are
now nobody knows where, with the germs
of rabies implanted in them. As tbe period
of incubation from the time ths anim U was

apparent averages sixty days, tl e e are likely
to beat least six mad dogs in Long Islan 1 le

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. Mr.
Maish said it waa wonderful what wide
spread interest there was in this measure.
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.

G. K. SCHMUCKKK,
J. M. KIKE.
Attest: A LUX HUNTER,
Ij. C. Colbobx, Clerk. l'oor Directors.
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. SCHEDULE HA."
