KENTUCKY'S AGED SIX.
Three Old Men anil Three Old Wo me
Who Have rOO < ) Itvlutlve * .
The most remarkable family In point o
ago In the United Slates lives , moves an
runs things In the Cumberland mountains c
Kentucky In Letcher county , to Tie exaci
Wabb Is the name of these old per om
whoeo number Is six , and to whom ever
Individual of the 12,000 population of th
county Is directly or Indirectly relatei
Three old men there are , and three ol
women. Their father was the first cousl
of Daniel Boone , and was , In addition , th
earliest settler In the rugged mountain re
glen In which his descendants are now a !
'powerful.
They are all called by their given name :
with the prefix "Uncle" or "Aunt , " aa th
case may be. There IB Aunt Letty. Sh
comes first by reason of her ago , which I
89 years. She la growing rather oppreclatlv
of the burdens which come with advance
years , and she In not no spry as she ho
been up to a few years ago. Then , toi
the murder of her eon , Wiley W. Craft ,
dozen years ago , has bad much to do wit
aging her. To Archibald Craft , her huf
band , she presented eleven pledges. Hi
grandchildren number ninety , her greol
grandchildren sixty , and her great-great
grandchildren forty. Her husband WE
pretty well along In years himself when t
died , SO being his age.
After Aunt Letty comes Aunt Polly , wh
Is 85 years old In her own right , and wh
U growing old gracefully at the homo c
lier eon. She married a man named Adam
and ten children were born , It was to vlt
her eldest daughter that Aunt Polly las
year rode 100 inlks on honeback over tb
roughest of mountain roads. She dido
mind this experience , BO unusual for a
octogenarian , and remarked tbat the Webl
came of hardy Block. She lias 110 grand
children , seventy great-grandchildren an
about forty great-great-grandchildren.
Jason Is next In point at yearn , being 8
and the most prolific of the family. li
doesn't know the meaning of illness fro
any personal knowledge of it. and ho eai
he feels ns fine as a yparllnR. Nineteen
children Is the record which make * him the
promlcst man In Letcher county. Thejc
nineteen have obeyed tha scriptural Injunc
tion find have multiplied to such an ettont
that the old gentleman ha * 175 grand
children , 150 ftreat-jirandchllilren and more
han 100 grrnt-gront-grnmlchlUlrt'n. Ho la
one of the two members of the Aged six
vho have never looked upon the landscape
rom a car window. It was two years ago
hat ho first ventured on the "kyars , " and
hat was when ho went on n visit to friends
n Tennessee.
Then there Is I'ncle Miles , who consider *
ilmself In the prime of life. Although ho Is
"S yenra old , ho rides his horse all over
ho rough neighborhood and Is apparently
as unrestricted In his movements as a
oungster. With him , ton , the storks have
icon gcnerou.1 , and the children of his chil
dren number 165 , his great-grandchildren
count up to ICO and the Inst generation
ilncty.
< Aunt Sally , with 75 milestones to her
redlt , runs around her home with as much
agility aa any of her grandchildren. She
,3 a widow and does her own work , even
[ o shouldering a sack of corn and carrying
it to the mill. She has thirteen children ,
Ighty grandchildren , sixty-five great-grand
children , ami more than fifty great-great
grandchildren.
The baby of the family Is XTnolo Wiley ,
who Is only 73. lilt cloven children per-
leUmted the race to the extent of seventy-
Ivo grandchildren , and ho has fifty great
grandchildren and thirty grcnt-grcat-Rrand-
children. Ho apologize. * for hh compara-
.Ively small number of descendants by stat
ing that his eons married late In life.
HECOLM3CTIONS OP TWEED.
Uciith of tlie Sliln rnnlnln Who Cnr-
rled the noun ( o Culm.
The recent death of James llryant , a ship
captain , In Xow York , recalls the events of
William M. Tweed's career , which was
without example or parallel In municipal
rascality. Tweed was the sou of a mechanic
in New York city , relates the Chicago
Chronicle , and learned a. trade himself ,
which ho followed In his jotitli. Ho was
able and ambitious ; became popular with
iho rough classes ; wns foreman of an
engine company before a paid fire depart
ment was organized , and became n political
leader. In 1S53 , when he was 30 years old.
tie was elected alderman. He afterward
served A term In congress , but appreciated
the superior advantages of power In local
offices' . Ho was chosen supervisor In New-
York and was chairman of the board. He
was alpo on the school board and wai
deputy street commissioner. In these poil-
tlons ho formed vast plans of munlclp.il rob
bery , which he carried Into effect. Ho wai
appointed commissioner of public works and
this provided the opportunity for hla enor
mous thefts.
Ho Oovlsod public Improvements of a
magnificent character. Streets , boulevards
and parks were laid out In all directions.
His associates were Informed In advance of
lands to be bought by the city and secured
options on the tracts. These tracts were
then sold to the city at four , five and ten
times the amount they had cost , Tweed and
his associates pocketing the profits. The
construction of a city hall was commenced
and bills to the amount of $10.000,000 wore
audited and1 paid on construction account.
The entire building could have been com
pleted for $3,000,000. Furnishing and car
peting the structure cost as much more. It
was said that bills for enough carpeting to
have covered half the area of New York
were presented and paid. The stealings ol
the Tweed ring were estimated at $14.000,000
In amount. Charged with these fraurt'i ' and
thefts , Tweed replied by asking' "What are
you going to do about It ? " Yet the city
was greatly Improved and benefited. These
Improvements are now the prldo of New-
York. William L. Strong , the "reform"
mayor elected In ISO I , declared that "If
Tweed had stolen twice the number of mil
lions with which ho was charged New York
should erect a monument to his memory for
the good ho had accomplished. "
But Tweed's contemporaries did not sso
It that way. October 28 , 1S71 , ho was ar
rested on a civil suit brought by Charles
O'Conor , the leader of the New York bar ,
supported by Samuel J. Tlldcn , as taxpayers
In behalf of the city. He wns held to ball
In the sum of $1,000,000 , which he Immedi
ately furnished. In November he was elected
to the state senate , but ho never took his
seat. The civil suit was not tried. But In
December ho was arrested and Indicted for
fraud. On the first trial tbe Jury disagreed ,
but on the second trial ho was convicted on
twelve counts of the Indictment and sen
tenced to a year's Imprisonment on each
count. This was a "cumulative" sentence ,
which was set aside as unlawful. In April ,
1875 , an action was commenced against him
on the part of the city for the recovery of
$0,000,000 alleged to have been stolen from
the city treasury and ho was held to ball
In $3,000,000. Unable to furnish the ball ho
was sent to Ludlow street Jail. After re
maining there awbllo he obtained permis
sion to visit his home In charge of a bailiff
and retired to bathe and dress. He slipped
out of doors and escaped from custody. Sev
eral of Tweed's accomplices , Including City
Chamberlain Sweeney , City Comptroller
Connolly , Mayor Oakley Hall and some of
the swindling contractors fled to Europe ,
where some of ttiem died. Others returned
within the last few years , aged and broken
down , but rich. Mayor Hall's case was dif
ferent from -that of the other officials.
Doubtless ho had no share of Tweed's plun
der and he came back from England poor.
Ho died last year. Wticn ho was elected In
1SCD he said that ho would rather be mayor
of New York than president of the United
States. Ho was Implicated In the Tweed
robberies through his Inefficiency and neg
lect to prevent them , not as an accessary.
On his cscafio from the bailiff who had
him in charge Tweed made Ills way to the
harbor and was put aboard Uie schooner
Frank Atwood , of which Jamctt Bryant ( who
died recently ) was captain , The vessel
Balled for Santiago , Cuba , whore Tweed left
It and remained some time , his whereabouts
being unknown to the New York authori
ties. Leaving Santiago In a sailing vessel ,
ho landed at u small uoaport In Spain , where
ho remained some tlmo in obscurity. Local
curiosity was at last excited , the Spanish
police were notified , lie was arrested nnd nt
Inngth was Identified as thu man known
throughout llio world for nl colossal munic
ipal robberies and a fugitive from Justice.
At that tltne there was no treaty of extra
dition with Bpeln , which wan the reason of
hln seeking refuge there. Hut that govern
ment corresponded with the American State
department and offered to surrender Tweed
If It was desired. The offer was accepted as
a mark of distinguished International cour
tesy and Tweed wan deported to the United
Stated. On Ills arrlvaj In New York he was
returned to Ludlow street Jail , where ho died
In 1S78.
