J; Jan. &.—Mrs, Melorhofer, convicted with Frank Lammens, her parn- mour, of the murderof her husbanc, J. W. Mel- erhofer, at West Orange, Oct, 18, 1870, was hanged {n the County Jail this morning. She swos very pale and deeply affected, but walked to-the gallows without ngsistance, and met her fate without confessing or utterlng a word. Sho died in about ning minttes, -Abot thirty persons were present, Including the oficors and jury selected by tho Court “under tho recent Inw. Launnens was hanged from’ the samo. gailows immediately after- wardg. He mado no confession. ‘The Un- der-Sherlif cleared, tho corridor in which the gallows was erected of a group of persons who had congremuted. One hour Iater.tha Sheriff knocked ut the «door of the room where Mrs. Melerhofer ‘was imprisoned and THE CONDEMNED WOMAN: stepped forth. Her arms wero plnioned at the elbow and 2 noose adjusted around her neck, The cortege proceeded to the gallows. With the condemned woman marched the ‘Sheriff, and immediately behind thom came the Under-Sherlifs and the Deputies, and in .tha rear two Constables, Onco under tho shadow 6¢ the gallows no tine was lost in * pinfoning the lower limbs of the woman. Tho. noase was then hooked on to the rope that datugted from the cross-beam, a black cap “was drawn over her face, aud “THE FATAL SIGNAL ‘was gtven, ‘Thero was na dull thud as tho ‘welght wns released, and the body of Mar- garet Melerhofer shot upward witha con- vulsive jerk., It spun around several times, aud atiast lung an inertinass, Lammens, who was brought from the cell at 0:30, asked to sea the jury that convicted film, but they “ were not present. Ho declared his innocence, and was led. trembling to the gallows. At 11:37 the drop fell, and in fourteen minutes ‘his pulse stopped, and ‘he was pronounced ‘dend, * THE MURDER ‘was committed about 11:30 o'clock on tho morning of Oct, 9, and on the folluwing day -Lammens and Mra, Melerhofer avere lodged. ‘In the Newark Jail, Tnoy were tried in the ‘following December. After the trial had Jasted a week Laminons fell dangerously il, and it was discontinued until he had recoy- ered, “Ench was convicted of murder in tho first degree. “ The woman’s story was that ‘Lammens had shot hor husbanit as the latter was carrying” something on his shoulders ‘down the cellar stairs, . Lammens declared ‘that he never discovered that Melerhofer was dead until later In the day. “Ho said he > went out of the house about 11:30 o’elock, rand that Mrs. Melerlofer must havo com- auiited the murder at.that tine. Ills reason for going out of the house was to get some whisky In a bottle at Uttle barroom kept by a Fronch woman, ‘The French woman testified that she gave hina gill of whisky that day, but It was about 6:80 o'clock In the morning, and that he did not come to her place again that day. ‘This was the worst polnt ngalnst Lammens, Another point against him was the -testl- mony given by one vf two men who passed the house about 11:30 o'clock, They heard a shot. They did not know where it eamo from, but immediately they noticed Lam- “nions como out of the house, seizo a rake and busy himself in raking together some Joose material In the yard. * TIS EVIDENCE - was offered by tho prosecution to convey the dea that Lammons had fired tho shot and thon hastenéd Into tho yard to give the im- pression to any person who might pass that he had had nothing to do with the shooting, ‘The companion of tho man who gave this testImony had left the State, and could, not be got for the firstirial, Lammen's Jaw- yer moved for a new trial, on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Ils new witness on tho second trint testified that about 11:0 o'clock on tho day of the murder he say Lammens golng nlong tho road from the French woman's barroom toward tho Meler- hofer house, carrying a bottle In his hand, To counterbalance this testimony, tho man above referred to a3 having'left the State re- turned in time to give his testimony on the s@ond trisl, It confirmed that of his com- panion in every polut, and seemed to show that whether or not Lammens was carrying & bottle along the read about 11:80 o'clock, hie was seen to emerge frum the Melerhofer house just after the firing of a shot. Lam- mens was convicted again of murder In the first degree and sentenced.

Cunningham & Ca.”—2 firm-ename having no Jocal habitation in the City Direct- ory,—which sets forth the great advantages to be derived from membership in the “ChI- cago Signal, Star’ Bureau,” an inalitution whose pectllar features, considering that it takes eight solldly printed pages of the pam- plilet to explali them, cannot be disposed of ina word. Ina general way It may be said that the main ostensible object of the Bureau 15 tho bringing together 0 trade relations of such “merchanis and purehnsers ns ‘atibserlhe to Hts scheine, ta he ducenent offered to customers being a reduc. tion in prices, and that to the dealers the mo- nopoly of the trade of these customers, by which it will bo seen that the Idea Is slinply a modifieation of the oft-tried seheme of coiiperation..

BjOrnson has written for ihe thentre, and his pieces have achieved popularity, iis tragedy, Murle Stuart, belng considered his strongest work, He was an intinate-friend of the Inte Ole Bull, and, like the great violin- ist, he Js a passionate lover of Mberty and of demverntic forms of government. ‘Lo visit America, of which he fs an ardent admirer, hinstbeen the dream of his life, and he de- termined to comne before he had grown old, It was to bu oxpected that the appearnuco of tho new Republican-News,: in 9 field so long ocoupted exclusively by the Sentiict, would bo the signal for some vigorous hal pulling between the two rival sheets, «That sort of warfare ling already broken out on tho Sentinci’s side’ by Its not noticing tho newspaper ntallon the next morning after its appearance, and permitting an alleged correspondent to charge the Republican with being printed In the interest: uf the “bankers, capitalists, and monopolists.”” ‘This was Intended as a sop to the Grangere, and a shot tn the bull's-eye, inasiuct as five of the stockholders In the Republican-News gro bankers, and all the others are‘ monopo- Nts to tho extent of having secured a large: amount of this world’s guods, ‘Lhe Dally Murphey is not in na condition to wage a very diumaging warfare on the new syndicate either individually or collectively, and one broadside from its new rival williuake one think of the well-worn couplet: ‘Hy who fights and runs away, Wiil live to fight another day. - ‘Milwaukes has become finous the world over on xecountof her beautiful erenm-col- ored brick, of which many of ber blocks are bullt, and the manufacture of whieh was once the Iargest interest In thoclty, Next she wos ‘known as the greatest prinary: » Wheat market in the world, and still Iater ay. tho greatest Inger-becr manufacturing clty in the United States, But nelther brick nor whent 1s longer Kings but tho statistles for the yenr show that buer still Jeada alt the. other Interest#,—the ficures bi eut the thront of her mistress, because she hed concelved tho totally” un- warranted hope that her master, Dr, Corliss, would marry: her if tho wifg were out of tho way. At thnd time tha Middlesex County. Sheriff sent to Newark to borrow, tho Essex County gallows. It was concluded, however, to take drawings and mensurements of tho gallows and to build one Just Ike It in the New Brunswick Jail. ‘This was done, The Newark gallows Is just like the one used in the ‘Tombs, except that the weight {s.inade to drop by tonching » sninll concealed lever with the foot Instead of by cuttings rope, It was erected in the rearof the main hall in the prison. By tho law of New Jersey, only tha fury, appolnted by the Court and tho limited nunber of deputies summoned by ‘tho Sheriff wit- nessed the executions, The gallows was built for tho simultancous death of two per- sons. . ‘Thera had been considerable talk in Newark aud elsewhere in the State among Eplscopalinns and Reman Catholics about tho propriety of having the hanging post- poned, ‘Thursday, Janu. 0, wes Epiphany, aud the execution was regarded by muny of them as a desceration of the day. TWO MEN. Privapecrins, Pa, Jan. 6&—Daniol I. Sullivan and Patrick Hayes were hunged in Moyamensing Prison at 10:87 thls morning. Both men passed sleepless nights. ‘The priests arrive at the prison early, and rellz- Jous exercises continued until time for the execution. At10:25 Sullivan was brought down from his cell ontho upper tler to the door of - Hayes’ ceil, on the ground floor, and Immediately afterward tho procession formed and procueded to the: gallows near the end of the same corridor, -oth walked firmly, Hayes being accompanted by the Rev. Fathors Daly and Musterson. Sullivan fol- lowed, accompanied by the Rey. Father Kent. ON THE SCAFFOLD . both men knelt and prayed, tho priests kneol- ing botweon them, and that when they arose, .lnyes Istd aside the, beads upon whieh! he had been tellig-his prayers, and attempted to, address those presont,, speaking ina wild and ficoherent manner. Two of the priests reasoned with him, and: endeavored to por- sundo him not to spenk, but he continued i spite of thelr romonstrances to talk in a rant bling way. Io scemett anxious to narrate the history of his marricd life, but at Inst ylelded, as ho said himself, to the request of Is pastor, and at the samo time protesting that he was not afrald of the gallows. IN THE MEANWHILE Sullivan stood calmly kissing his crucifix, and listening tothe exhortationsof the priest. Ho finally expressed hope for forgiveness, forgiving all himself. “Tho priests retired fo the step of the gallows, whero thoy. knelt. The nooses-were adjusted, and at 11:88, whilo tho priests were reciting the De Profundis, tho drop fell. Both bodies recuived n fall of four fect.
