TEXT-BOOKS IN SCHOOLS. The following decision has been rendered by the State Superintendent in relation to the test-book law : A l b a n y , October 20fch, 1877. W ILLIAM D. LEWIS, School Commissioner, Turin, Lewis County, H. Y. S i r l a districts where the annu al meetings failed to act in pursuance of the “ test-book law,”, special meet ings should at once be called to adopt text-books. After such action is tak en the books adopted should be intro duced into the school as soon as prac ticable. It is for the Legislature to determine whether districts which as sume to nullify the law shall be per mitted to share in the distribution of the public money. Your obedient servant, H E IL GILMORE, Sup’t. It will bG seen from the above rul ing of the Stats Superintendent that those districts that fail to comply with the “ Text-Book Law,” by refusing or neglecting to adopt books, jeopardize their portion of the public money. j ^ I t is said that in Saturday's executive session of the SenatOjt very violent speeches were made against Hayes, which seven-eighths of the Republican Senators approved. Open ■war against his frsudulency is unmis takably indicated. TEE FRANKFORT CRIMINALS. Tuesday night at about 12 o’clock, just after we went to press, Hiram Bar- gy came to the jail in this village and gave himself up. He was thinly clad, having on no boots. His stockings had worn out, and he had torn up his drawers and tied them on his feet. His hand was bleeding, and when asked how he hurt it, he said that in coming down the railroad he fell two or three times, as the night was in tensely dark and he was nearly frozen. When he escaped from officer Hono* ban he went over to Schuyler Hill, and at times was within a few rods of the officers. He said he feasted on frozen apples, etc. He came from one of the saloons in North Ilion just previous to giving himself up. Bar- gy’s examination was not concluded, but he was held to await the action of the grand jury, which is in session . Mrs. Elizabeth Bargy, wife^f Hiram, and her son Erastus, were ar rested in Hew York, Wednesday. Mrs. Bargy is a middje aged lady, with a care-worn face, thin features and lips firmly set. Erastus is twen- ty years old, well built and a muscu lar young man, with a pleasant face, though somewhat thick set around the mouth.' Thursday evening they were taken, from Herkimer jail, and ar raigned before Justices Ingham and Putman at Frankfort and plead “ not guilty” and demanded an examina tion. They were sent back to jail un til Friday, when they had their exam ination in Loftis Hall. There was a crowd present. District Attorney Dudleston appeared for the people, and S. S. Morgan for the defendants. Eugene Widrick was the only witness examined. He gave his testimony in a straightforward manner, and ad hered to it closely on the rigid cross* examination by counselor, Morgan. The previous testimony of Widrick against Bargy, which is as follows, was by consent of counsel, allowed, to Stand as against Erastus and his mother. He gave in detail the cir cumstances attending the burning of the Bargy Hotel, and the names of the parties concerned: The testimony shows that Bargy first spoke to Widrick about setting fire to the building; that he told Widrick he wanted him to fire the hotel, and make a clean job of i t ; if the work was not done well and the hotel not completely destroyed he could not realize the full amount of the insurance; that Widrick told Bargy he wanted to think of the mat ter a while before consenting to do the work; that Bargy also spoke to Ro selle Smith with reference to assisting Widrick; that Smith said he was ready to do the job if Widrick would assist him ; that the matter was talk ed over at various times just before the fire and arrangements completed; that when everything was in readi ness to commit the crime, Bargy was to go out to visit a brother-in-law at Aider Creek and also to Lowville, and the building was to be fired the first night after he left, when there was a west wind; that as the members of his family and the boarders were in the east end of the building, they could escape and there was not pinch danger of the parties doing the work being heard or seen; that Bargy urged Smith and Widrick to do the wnrk speedily, saying that if it was not done well he woulfi be a pauper; that two or three days before, the fire Widrick and Bargy went, fo Utica and had a lager beer keg filled with kerosene oil at a store on the corner of Genesee and Blandina slreets, [this was probably Elizabeth street, from the description,] and taken to the barn of the hotel, where it was kept until after dark, when it was taken by Bargy, Smith and Widrick to the garret; that about this time Bargy called his son Erastus, a young man about 20 years of age, into the bar room and told him that Smith and Widrick were to burn the building, and he desired him to help ; also that Mrs. Bargy was informed of what was to take place and who was to do the work; that she assented to it, and wanted to be informed when the torch was to be applied, as she did not want to go to bed the night the fire was to occur; that a day or two before the fire, when the arrangements were com pleted, Bargy left home and went north, taking his insurance' policies with him ; that before leaving. Smith, Widrick and himself took a careful inventory of all the household furni ture, going into each room in the h o u s e , and in som e of th e room s w h e r e there was no bed, bedstead or carpet, these articles would be placed on the inventory, thus making the inventory seem much larger than it really was; that a sewing machine in the hotel was taken in the night time to the house of Roselle Smith and stored with a view of receiving the insurance on it as it was placed on the inven tory I that nearly all of the liquor in the cellar was taken to the barn in the night time; some of the planks in the floor were removed and the casks and half barrel oi whiskey stored away there; that the cigars were taken to the barn aud secreted in the hay; that on Wednesday, Feb. 28, the wind being in the west, it was decided to fire the building that night; that the garret had been saturated with kero sene oil and lamp wmkiog placed about the attic, and everything so ar ranged that the fire might .communi cate rapidly along the entire length of that part of the building, 'where the fire was to be s e t; that Mrs, Bar gy was informed and did not go to bed that night, but had Iain down on a lounge in the dining room and awaited the devilish work. Half an hour or so before the match was applied. Smith and Widrick went to the engine house and removed sev eral* nuts from the bolts, so the engine could not Yfork, and then made a pine plug and inserted it in the hose that the water would force it to the nozzle, and prevent water from flow ing through if; that they then return ed to the hotel, and about half-past one o’clock in the morning, when.all was quiet. Smith climbed to the attic, fired the wicking, and in an instant the fiames were communicated throughout the entire west part of the hotel. Smith and Widrick ran to the shed as rapidly as possible, put on their boots, went home and were soon in bed. In an hour the building was in ruins. These men were promptly on hand and did what they could to keep the barn from burning. T h e im p o r tan t a d d it io n a l fa c t s are given below; The day before the fire Eos« Smith and myself talked with A; Bargy in relation to the fire; we were in the dining room and walked out in to the main h all; she said she wanted to talk with us, and we went to the back end of the hall. Mrs. Bargy wanted to know when we were going to set the house afire; Smith says “ It’s south wind, I don’t think it will be set to-night, unless the wind changes;” he said Hi didn’t want it set unless there was west wind; she said she w a n ted to know the night it would be done; we said we would let her know; she said she did not want to go to bed, 'but would sleep in the dining room on the lounge, and not undress; t^ink Mrs. Bargy was at home the night the inventory was made; next talked with Mrs. Bargy the night of the fire in the dining room; Roselle Smith w a spr^ent; we told her the fire was to be set that night; she said “ all right; I ’ll sleep on the lounge and won’t undress;” think Mrs. Bargy was at home when Hiram went away; first talked with Erastus about burning the building the morning his father left, After he had gone; this was in the bar room ; Smith was there; Erastus said he had all about it for some time; we had been talking about going to Herkimer to get some candle wicking; after the fire Erastus stayed with us some time; he came with us the morn ing it was burned ; he went with us to the telegraph office to notify his fath er ; Erastus boarded with us a week or two. Cross-examined—Can’t fix the day Bargy and I went to Herkimer before the hotel was burned; think it was three or four weeks before the hum ing; this was when he first suggested the barning to me; after I got back from Herkimer, Roselle and I had two meetings and talked oyer the sub ject; we talked about it every time we were alone; Mr. Bargy said Gates’ men were going to their work and from their work, and the fire had bet ter be set after they had! changed; don’t remember whether Bargy spoke of his wife and children; don’t know that Mrs. Bargy was sipk at this time; she was sick a week or so before the fire; didn’t know the number of peo ple in the hotel the night of the fire. Did not contemplate the burning of the Cottage Hotel at this place; I went over there with a gentleman who set fire to it^ I believe | this was be fore the burning of the Baiey house; the Cottage Hotel was not fired while I was there; it was fired after J left there; did not assist in selecting a place where it was to be fired. Some time before the fire, a bundle of some hlpd was pqt into a cutter and taken to Mrs. Davenport’s; I thought the bundle contained bed- quilts; think Mrs. Davenport went home in the same cutter; the bundle might have been a bag of carpet-rags or something else; on the evening of the fire, Roselle Smith and I went from Bargy’s Hotel to the Rerkins lecture atDoftis H a ll; I left gmith in the corridor before' entering the hall; don’t know that Smith came to the hall with Eli Perkins; before go ing to the lecture, told Mrs. Bargy we were going to fire the hotel that n ight; next saw her the next morning; Smith and I went to the engine house that night; Smith loosened the nuts on the engine with a wrench; the block we put in the nozzle was about an inch and a half; the next morning Smith and I went to the engine house, and Smith with a small stick pushed the block, out; of the nozzle ; don^t remem ber talking with Mrs. Bargy in refer- ence to the fire since the burning; think Mr. Bargy, Roselle and myseif talked about the burning since the fire; this was in the barn and Erastus w a s present. Re-direct—-After the fire I assisted in making up the inventory in refer ence to the insurance. Ee-cross—This was in the b a rn; J . S. Smith, Hiram, Erastus, Roselle, Irving Sheldon and myself were there. Mr. Morgan asked that Hiram Bar gy be brought here to testify and com plete the examination on the part of the defense; the district attorney ob jected on the ground-4hat he had been properly and legally committed to the county jail; objection sustained. Mr. Morgan then asked Deputy Sheriff Honohan to produce Bargy, and he replied thafc-Bargy was not in his custody. Mr. Morgan said oa the refusal to produce Bargy, he would offer no evi-. deuce for the defense. A motion4o discharge the prisoners was refused, and they were committed to jail. William J. Wells was arrested about three miles east of West Win field about 12 o’clock, Friday, he be ing brought before the Justices at Frankfort, plead \guilty” on the charge of arson in setting fire to the hotel owned by John Dowd, Jr., and occupied by L. Stearns and family. He confessed in open Court that Hi ram Bargy hired and paid him for as much as agreed upon, on account of its being a failure. Wells is 32 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children at West Winfield, hav- SPEOIAL MEETING OF TRE N. Y. STATE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE. The New York State Farmers’ Al- ing moved there about six weeks ago. organized for the purpose He said hS heard pf this several days i n t S ^ o f S e r s . ^It^S essential to ago, but did not think it*any use try ing to escape. He says a great many wearing high collars have got to be broaght !D befora this is settled, and ,i„.asures and me that he told Mr. Gates that he took considered, and the flour from his mill, as his family was starving afad had to have some thing to eat, and that Mr, Gates being a benevolent and kind man to the poor, said nothing. Tuesday morning of last week, Dis trict Attorney Dudleston telegraphed to the chief of police at Colorado Springs, Colorado, to have Smith ar rested at once on the charge of arsi in the first degree, and of several burg laries with which it is alleged, he had been connected, to be held until a requisition could be obtained frond the Governor, and an officer dispatched for him. The same day Mr. Dudle ston received an answer from the offi- setting the hofeJ oa fi?©| but not get | longer than any of Grant * b » cer at Colorado Springs, stating that S m ith h a d b e e n arrested and was held lubjeet to further orders from the dis- district attorney. The necessary pa pers were immediately prepared, req u isition obtained, and la s t F r id a y afternoon Deputy Sheriff Eaton, of Herkimer, started for Colorado, and will probably return this week with Smith, who is about 26 years of age, and has a wife living at Frankfort. His parents also reside there, who are respectable people, and have done all they could to bring their, children up in the way they should go. They are nearly broken-hearted and feel great ly distressed to think that Roselle would have done such a thing. John Smith, who has been clerking for M. W. Rasbach, in this village, is a brother to Roselle, and is an honest and industrious young man. A VISIT TO THE JAIL, Thanksgiving afternoon, through the courtesy of Deputy Sheriff Eaton, we were privileged to enter the jail and converse with the different pris oners confined-therein. We immedi ately repaired to the cell in the north west corner of the jail, where Hiram Bargy, who gave himself up Tuesday night, was in close confinement, in company with John Helmer, who was arrested on a charge of burglary, in entering the house of John F. Hoscb, of Mohawk, and Aaron Miller, who also was up for a similar offense, com mitted at Jersey City Lake. Bargy was in good spirits, and eagerly par^ took of the Thanksgiving dinner v/hich was pent him by a friend at Frank fort. S. S. Morgan, his counsel, had visited him just a little while before we were admitted. As we were in formed Mr. Morgan was greatly in dignant because Bargy took leg bail, and said if he had been in the office the time he would not have sanc tioned it. He expresses his belief that he can clear Bargy, but states that the way would have been much easier if he had not undertook to get Patrick Crowley, who is in for the murder of Daniel Mulverhill, occu pies the same cell (in the south-west corner) which he occupied when he was first brought to Herkimer, two years ago next February. Crowley was in unusually good spirits and seemed pleased to converse with U3, He said that \ Gibbons” gave him a hard racket some time ago in the Arffus, which he did not deserve. His cell, he said, was lixe home tO him, and it would be hard work on account of the darkness of it, for him tq see if out in open air. He says he is anxious Ibr his trial, and expresses his firm belief that he will not be hung. ‘Eagene Champlain, who was arrested in Little Falls a few' weeks ago for stealing a watch, is in the same cell with Ciowley. There are twenty-two prisoners confined within the walls of the Jail. Among these are Mrs. Hiram Bargy, Erastus Bar gy, her son, William J. Wells, and Mert. Russell. All of these parties are from Frankfort. In a conversa tion with Russell, he said he would be all right as soon as the grand jury gfts. He says he can prove himself clear, but can’t exactly understand why he was not admitted to bail, when he was held in the sum of only- $1,000, and such persons as the follow ing, any one of whom are able to qualify for over $5,000, were ready and willing to go on his bail bond Aaron Folts, Jacob Bailey, E. M. Tisdale and Mrs, Baldee. He says he thinks there is something crooked some where, as he was one of the com plainants against C. B. Crosby and James H. Billings, who were arrested and taken to Utica for selling liquor without a government license. The food which was given the boys for supper, was as good as any one would want, and they all expressed them* selvef perfectly satisfied with it. We asked one or two if they always got as good, and they said they did. The jail is under the management of Mr, and Mrs. Warren Eaton, who have the good. wishes of the prisoners for their kind treatment.
