Women’s rights are making progress
in Kansas. Mary Isabella Martin,
having been duly convicted of a horrid
murder, and being pronounced sane by
numerous experts, is going to be hang

in the Kansas penitentiary. The au
thorities hold that a woman has equal
rights with a man in a case of this kind.

Elected President,
The newly-elected Board of Directors
of the Central Railroad and Banking
Company met at the banking house
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, and
organized by calling J. J. Gresham, of
Macon, to the chair. Captain W. G.
Raoul was elected by the Board as Pres
ident of the company for the ensuing
year, and anew Finance Committee
was appointed. General Alexander
was present, and briefly addressed the
Board on matters of interest pertaining
to the company.
Governor Stephens has issued an
executive order giving Secretary War
ren complete and absolute control over
the matter of the purchase of stationery
of all kinds for the executive offices,and
the purchase of postage stamps. Major
Warren is to supply all the other clerks
in the executive office as well as the
heads of departments with such
amounts of stationery and stamps as
they may require in the discharge of
their official duties, and they are to ac
count to him for all they receive. All
clerks and officials are prohibited from
the use of the public stationery and
stamps in their private correspondence.
The question as to who pays for the
bagging and ties on cotton bales seems
to puzzle many people. Some farmers
seem to think that because they pay
less for bagging and ties than they re
ceive per pound for cotton, that the
difference is clear gain to them. But
the fact is that consumers consider the
value of the old bagging and ties on
the bale to them before they establish
the price of cotton. In other words,
the_spinners consider the bagging and
ties as almost worthless, and deduct
their weight as so much tare when
they buy. This indirectly causes the
planter to lose almost the entire cost of
the bagging and ties.
The total immigration into the
United States last year was 735,000,
enough to people more than a dozen
States as populous as one of the pres
ent family of States. The total immi
gration at all ports for 1881, was a lit
tle over 719.000, showing an increase
of about 16,000 in the past year. The
countries from which the immigrants
came and the number contributed by
each were as follows: Germany, 232,-
000; England and. Wales, 81,000; Ire
land, 70,000; Scotland, 17,000; Swee
den, 59,000; Norway, 37,000; Canada,
89,000; all other countries, 160,000.
The arrivals in the last three months
show a decided falling off, those of De

twenty per cent.
Choice Songs and Ballads.
The musical success of the season, is
the publication of “Popular Songs and
Bajlads,” a collection containing the
words and music of over one hundred
melodies, some of which have made the
fortune of more than one Minstrel and
Jubilee Troupe. It has more pleasing
melodies than any collection we know
of for the price. We name a few of the
titles: “Dar’s one mo’ Ribber tor to
Cross.” “Dar de ol’ Sarpint is a

attractions—l’terary and artistic.
Among the prominent articles are:
“Whisperers,”.by the Editor Rev. T.

Northern Vermont in Arms.
Boston, January B.—A Journal spe
cial gives the details of a dastardly
crime that has put all northern Ver
mont under arms in search of the black
villan who has stolen a beautiful girl,
the young daughter of a prosperous
farmer in Rochester. Kitty Marsh, the
child of Charles Marsh, is 13 years old.
Yesterday morning she started for
school near her house, and that was the
last seen of her by her family. Her
schoolmates say that late in the fore
noon, as they were playing near the
school house, a fine turn-out, driven
by a negro named John Edwards, stop
ped near them, and the driver aßked
Kitty if she did not want a ride. The
girl eagerly assented, jumped into the
sleigh, and the span of bays went off
at a canter. When Kitty’s absence
was noticed in the afternoon Mr. Marsh
made inquiries, and learned the above
facts. There was but one inference,
and the father was terribly overcome
bp the blow. The neighborhood was
quickly alarmed, and pursuing parties
were organized and started in all direc
tions. The officers and citizens got as
fa.t as Middlebury and Crown Point
last night without success in their
search. At Vergennes to-day it was
learned that the negro and the girl
spent the night at the Stevens House
and started north again early this morn
ing. No subsequent trace of them has
been gained.
Edwards, the abductor, is a brown
biead negro, about 30 years old. He
has been employed as a farm hand in
the neighborhood of Rochester all his
life. At one time recently he was em
ployed by Mr, Marsh. At the time of
his disappearance he was working for
Crosby Martin, a farmer in the neigh
borhood. The valuable team with
which he escaped with his victim is
the property of Mr, Martin. Edwards
has served one term in the house of
correction for petty larceny.
Kitty Marsh is rather large for her
age, a bright school girl and a general
favorite. She had long known Edwards
in a friendly way, but there is no indi
cation that he induced the child to
elope with him. It is believed that she
was coerced into making the trip with
him after having started for the ride.
She was rather thinly clad, and must
have suffered severely from exposure in
to-day’s bitter cold. It is probable
that they have by this time reached
Canada, but the pursuit will be vigor
ously prosecuted. In the present state
of public temper it would not be safe
for the nogro to be captured near his
home.
Front Convent to Altar—Marriage
of Miss McDonald, a Sister of
Charity.
Baltimore, Md.. Jan. s.—On Sun
day last an unusual wedding ceremony
was solemnized at the residence of Rev.
Father Devine, the bride being Miss
Lizzie McDonald, who for eleven years
had beeu a Sister of Charity, and the
groom Mr Patrick Moor, of Washing
ton. Mis McDonald entered the order
at the age of eighteen, and was subse
quently engaged in teaching at Mobile,
slilwaukee, Chicago, Mt. DeSales, in
Baltimore county, and several other
places. About five years ago she was
attacked with a severe illness and as
she was supposed to be at the point of
death, her father obtained permission
from the church authorities to remove
her to his home. After a long and se
rious illness she recovered and would
doubtless have returned to the sister
hood, but at this juncture her father
was taken ill and she remained at home
and nursed him till he recovered. Af
ter his recovery Miss McDonald paid a
visit to a friend in Washington, and
during her sojourn at the capital made
the acquaintance of Mr, Moor, at a
party. The acquaintance ripened into
warm friendship, and upon Miss Mc-
Donald’s return home a correspondence
was begun between the lovers, and con
tinued tor sometime. The lady finally
decided not to return to the sisterhood,
received a dispensation to that effect,
and a wedding quietly followed.

There is a negro woman among the
state convicts who has been in the pen

know upon what charge she was con

his purpose to pardon her unless some
information is obtained to change his
mind. We think such clemency would
be right.
Americus is on a boom more than

The New York World says: Nobody,
actually nobody, who has used his head
for any other purpose than to carry his
hat, has ever doubted that the original
trial and conviction of Porter were gov
erned by military consideration but by
political considerations. The real liti
gants were Pope and McClellan, be
tween whom Porter fared like Pickwick
between the rival editions. Pope, being
a man essentially base, and taking Mc-
Clellan to be of his quality, really, no
doubt believed that McClellan was
capable of wishing to see Pope as his
successor “come to grief ” It was hut
a step from this to assure that sympa
thized with McClellan, hence came
Porter’s arrest, trial, condemnation and
sentence.
Confessing Three Murders.
Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Jan. I.—Mrs.
Stillwell, wife of Jay V. Stillwell, em
ployed on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad, has made a confession
on her death-bed of three murders.
She is at the house of relatives in Knox
county. The first was Benjamin Swi
gart, her first husband, whom she says
she killed in Maryville, Mo., in March,
1877, with the aid of her mother and
brother. The second was a stranger,
whom the same parties killed for his
money while stopping at a boarding
house. The third was her own daugh
ter, aged fourteen years, whom she
strangled in the presence of her mother
at Rulo, Neb., in May, 1880. She also
confessed that she attempted to kill her
husband three times to obtain his life
insurance. These confessions were
first made to her husband, and since to
others. She is dying of consumption.
