Charies Orm’ 4 was to-day hung at this place forthe murder of Tr eodore Brodhead at the Delaware Gap, 4m Monroe ¢ ounty, about ten months ago. THE MURDER. On the 45th of September last two young men very ababbily ‘dressed, who were afterwards ascertained wo be *, Brooks and Charles Orme, entered the Braw, House, @ hotel kept by Thomas Brodhead, ao of Theodore Brodhead, in the village of AM Atoteburg. They called for some liquor at the bar, Temained in the house for over a quarter of an Pour, during which time they took several drinks, Hannah M. Brodhead, wife of Thomas Brodhead, who had eerved the liquor out to them, had occasion to leave the barroom while the two men, as well a3 ‘Several other persons, were in the place. On return- tug shortly afterwards she discovered that they had ‘eft, and that the bar had been broken open and frem six to tea dollars taken out of the drawer, ne tmmediatety sent for Theodore Hrodhead and informed him of what had occurred, He at once started for the ratiroad station, about a quarter of a mile from the Brainerd House, where he supposed the defendents had gone. Thomas Brodhead ‘was also imformed of the larceny of the money from his bar, and he too started out in pur- suit of tie men, and while on his way met his brother, who had left the hotel ahead of him. On ‘the road they were informed that the men had not been ‘seen at the depot, but that they had gone Gown the public highway leading from the village of Dutotsburg, through the Delaware Gap, where- upon they returned to the main road and followed on in the direction they were told the men had taken. After proceeding about haifa mile they caught sight of Brooks and Orme going down the road about one Bundred yards ahead of them. The Brodheads im- mediately siarted on a run after them—Thomas a ‘little in advance of his brother. Me reached the fugitives first, and told them that he wanted them to returp, as he suspected them of having robbed the bar of the Brainerd House, Brooks at tirst ex- pressed a willingness to go back, but Orme refused. Thomas Brodhead then walked up to Orme and said, putting his hand on his shoulder, “You must go back.” The two men stepped back at this, and, as they did so, Brooks put lus hand tn his pocket and drew out some money, which he apparently attempt- “ed to throw over a stone wali which Was near him. By thig time Theodore Brodhead had come up, when his brother let go his hold on Orme and, while in the act of picking up the money which Brooks had thrown on the ground he heard Theodore cry out, “Don’t you shoot,” On looking up he saw Brooks pointing a pistol at his brother's head, Thomas then exclaimed, ‘You had better not shoot,” when Brooks “Rpinted the pistol at him and fired, but fortunately id not hit him, and immediately afterwards fired at lore, who fell dead at the firstshot, According to-Thomas Brodhead’s evidence, when bis brother fell he walked across the road and while crossin; heard one of the men coming after him. He turned round and saw Orme have his pistol pointed towards his head. ‘he pistol went off and the ball grazed his forehead. Orme again prepared to shoot, when be grappled with him and held his arms down his ly by main force and threw him to the ground, During the scufie Orme fired several shots, throw! ng up his hand towards his antagonist’s face at every ot, but the pistol went off every me before the barrel-was almed at Brodhead’s face. Orme at this Juncture called to Brooks to help him, when the lat- ter struck him (Brodhead) several times over the face ‘with his pistol. Thomas Brodhead’s evidenee on the trial, in relation to the struggle which ensued, waa as follows:—I still held fast to the one I had hold of, when e said to Brooks, with an oath, “Take a stone and knock his brains out as quick as you can;” he (Brooks) then got a stove and hammered me on the head a number of times; 1 then ha/l to give way Ty nold and fell to the ground: as soon as I fell they ran down the road; when I came to | saw them at the foot of the hiil; they were running; I had some let ters In my left side coat pocket: the went through my coat, through the papers and just broke the skin; didn’t find the ball; the wadding of ihe pistol set my coat on fire, and it was burning when the other parties came there; my face, left side, was ut to pieces, and I think five gashes in my head; my cheek bone was knocked down a little; when I got up I went to my brother Theodore to get him up, and found he was dead, and I couldn't raise bim ap; 1 then walked a Jittle way towards Kittatinay ‘House as fast us } could walk; my st gave out, and I sat down, aud { think Kdward Brod- Dead came to me first. THE PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. As soon as the inteliigence of the encounter of the Brodhead Brothers with Brooks and Orme had been bruited about Dutotsburg a party of citizens went Out in pursuit of the strange men. Alter tracking the men through the woods, not far from where the death of Theodore Brodhead had occurred, they found a satchel belonging to the murderers, covered over with jeaves, and, on opening it, it was found to contain a pistol, two chisels, @ plece of fuse, a pow- der flask and some drills. Soon afterwards the men ‘were met on the .roadway as if returning to the vil- ‘When they were first taken prisoners by the party who went in search of them, several persons endeavored to incite the crowd to “hang them and gave the county $3,000 costs,” but the Sherul suc- ceeded in conducting them safely to jail, where they ‘were confined uatil their TRIAL AND CONVICTION. On the 30th of September, five days after their ar- Test, the Grand Jury found a@ true bill against the risoners, and on the 28th of December tollowms iuey Were arraigned for trial. They sever pleaded Bot guilty, and the same the trial was begun. Wo the 3ist the jury rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree, and on the 2d of January they were sentenced to be hanged on the 26in of February. In - the meantime, after the Governor had issued his war- Fantforthe execution, the prisoner's counsel, J. B. Storm, obtamed a stay of proceedings and carried the case up to the Supreme Court, with the hope that that tribunal would grant @ new trial on the ground that the Brodheacds, being private citizens and having no warrants for the arrest of the prison- ers, had no right whatever to attempt to take them to custody, and that in shooting Theodore brol- ad and attacking his brother they had a in velf-aefence. Judge Strong argued the case for the prisoners, but the Supreme Court refuse’ to grant a new tial. CONFESSION OF BROOKS AND ORME. ‘The day previous to that which had been fixed for ‘thelr execution, in February, and just afier the stay of proceedings had been granted, a HeRaLp re- porter had-an interview with Brooks and Orme in their cell, to whom Orme, in the presence of Brooks, made the following statement:— After making some objections to the prejudiecs of + the jury and oj the commnnity against them, and complaining of the variance of the testimony of Thomas Brodhead, the brother of the murdered man, before the coroner, with thatgiven on the trial, and alleging that they were condemned before they were tried, their trial being a mere matter of form, me ag Orme proceeded :— Now, I will give you a plain statement of what oc- curred on the 25th of September jast and what part We acted mn the aifray which resulted in the death of ‘Theogore Brodhead:—On tie day of the occurrence Brooke and myself went into the barroom of the Brainerd House at Dutotsburg, which was kept by Thomas Brodhead. Jt was about haif-past eight o’giock in the forenoon. We had had two drinks tn wefore we went into the house. There were the ttle children and the bartender in tue room whem weentered. We had been there about haif an hour (it being a wet morning we went in to walt for rs me). Early that morning Brooks and myseli got On\a coal train on our way from Scranton, but the con\iuctor made us get off, so we Walked tue rest ‘Of the w'@y to the Gap. But to return to the barroom, While we‘ Were in there a voung man named David Frederick,\and another young man named Dutall, ‘came in, av¥i one of thein asked me to have a drink, wnen both sVenfout. The bartender and the little cbildren meaywhile went out, and leaving Brooks in the place, | wint down about 100 yards to Brodhead's store to get a Yipe. 1 recurned and while Brooks and 4 were smoking togetlier two men named ,Suilivan and Smith came in. They ap the counter, and when no person came eta in answer to the rapping, one of them, who was under the influence of liquor, asked me several questions a8 tv where J worked and if | were jooking for-work. On my telling him that I was looking lor work he pointed to the cigar box behind the counter and asked®f | would like to earn 4 dollar that ray, MeAnlng, I suppose, to steal the contents box, I replied that J didn’t think there was a jn the box, and that all the people would be afier whoever tock the mouvey, Then Mrs, Brodhead ame down state, After this Mis. Brodhead went a@utagain. Ithen went ont to see where Brooks Waé and found hivt outaide, Suiuvan came out @vop aiter I did and said, ‘‘Let’s go to the over ote) wud pave adrink.”’ We all started together, reaching the Kittatiyy House we took drinks at ; We staid there @ sninute or twe and then Asking our way to the Water Gap depot. Suilivay and Sinith in the bar apd after informed by the barkeeper as to the peg jar . coming slong at a great peace. | The money was { the money 1"? me, strack him in the face with my fist, ro) ¥ ahold i ao Pry b PS hy cane a bt ad the middie, shillelah fashion, and rushed towards me, with the stick uplifted as if to strike. Ashe came towards mel put my coat pocket did so turning the pock some money | bad felt @ quantity of currency and a two colar bill. as it fell the man cried out, ‘Ab, there’s Ashe rushed towards it and me I covered him with the revolver and told him to stand back and tell me what he wanted, or I would shoot him. He stood still for a second, when Thomas Brodhead, with his grasp still firm on Brooks, came forward to pick up the money, ond, as he stooped to get it, Brooks also tried to it, when Thomas rodliead threw him on his back on the ground. He then dashed in between me and Theodore, towards me, iran backwards a few steps and cried out, “Stand back; Wiatdo you mean? For God's sake, what do you want? If you don’t keep of, I'll shoo} ‘ou.”? He said, cep Rice scoundrel, if you dare; ‘Hl teach pt Lyi a he Dae rg by my not dring the hat it was not lo: fred it off, aiming the aa this side. The shot had no ooner Deen Alscharged than Thome Br a head = juinj grag) me al body, When he did 80 the pistol was right against bis stomach. I could have puiled the trig- ger and shot him in a second, but seemg that he was notarmed I concluded to risk my chances With- out firing, and so flung the pistol away from me mto the road. Jn thestruggle that ensued he threw me down and got his hand into the neck band of my shirt, which he twistedfao as to choke me, but the shirt tore, but not until blood had flown profusely trom nose, which was produced either by my bead striking the ground on my being tlirown or by the choking I received. When the shirt band gave way I got a little eased, and get. ling one of my hands free I seized hold of a stone that happened to be near and hit him in the face with it. [his made him get off me, and as he got u; he seized hold of Brooks. I picked up @ stone an threw it at him, It hit him in the head aad he fell. Here Brooks continued the statement, a8 far as he was concerned in the affray, from the time Thomas Brodhead threw Orme to the ground. He sald:- When the money dropped out of Orme’s pocket ‘thomas Brodhead had hold of me by the shoulder, aud we both ran to get it. He gave me a push backward and I fell. On Fone on feet 1 saw Orme going. ackward, heard the shot fired past Theodore Brodhead, which Orme bad fired in order to make him under- stand that the pistol was loaded. I then saw Orme and Thomas Brodhead clinch and both fall together, During the struggle Orme threw the pisto! from him into the middle of the road. Theodore Brodhead and myself at once reached forward to get possession of it. It fell between us, and we were at the time about twenty feet apart from one another. I fett that did not get the revolver it wou'd be certain death for me and Orme and so I dasnea forward for it. ‘Theodore Brodhead also made a spring for it, and as he did 6o raised his stick as if he mtended'to strike me if I came too near. 1 reached the pistol first, and immediately puiled the trigger as raised it, and at the same mo- ment Theodore Brodhead fell. Thomas Brodhead, on hearing the shot, jumped at me and got me by the shoulgers and endeavored to throw me down, pinioning my arms to my sides all the while. I suc- ceeded in getting one arm loose, and siruck hia several times in the face with the revolver, alihough I could have shot him, had I chosen to do so. He then Jet go his hold, when Orme and myself ran down the road, leaving Thomas Brodhead ou the roadside hallooing “murder” with all his might. Frightened out of our lives, we went up the side of the mountain, and not knowing exactly what to, do with ourselves we crossed over the mountain, and Mnally reached a clearing, from wuich we could see the liberty pole of the Brainerd House. We saw at agiance that we were right on the road to Dutotsburg. We at once started towards the village, and on our way we met a hittle boy,. whom we asked if we were going the right way to get to the village, and he said yes. As we approached the Village we saw coming towards us a number of men, ali armed, and when we got about 200 yards from them they aimed ther guns at us. We then jumped over @ fence and ran down through a creek, on the other side of which we were caught. The crowd wanted to hang us, and several of them struck us about the head, ‘They forced us to answer certain questions as to our guilt, and when we endeavored to explain they repeated their threats to hang us, When, for in- instance, under compulsion, we answered affirma- tively such questions as “Didn’s you murder him in cold blood?” the threats were discontinued. Under the circumstances both of us can understand the excitement of the peopie, but what we do not un- derstand ts how our ubswers made to questions put to us with death staring us in the face if we did not auswer in the aftirmative were al- lowed to be given in as evidence against us on our trial, When the Brodhead brothers came upon us on the road we did not know who they were. We had never seen them before and they did not tell us What they wanted. Their attack upon us naturally made us feel that our lives were in danger, and we fought our assailants the same as any other men would do under like circumstances. Our names are not Brooks and Orme. They have only been assumed, and, for our friends’ sake, we will not re- Veal our real names. AN ESCAPE. The prisoners, after the decision of the Supreme Court bad been announced, were coniined in the same cell together, and every precaution was taken by the keeper of the jail to prevent oot like an escape. On the morning of the 2d of April, about two o'clock, they did escape, and managed to do so by Orme’s inducing the jailer to go into the ceil and help Brooks to bed, who had fallea ina fit, apparently, The jatier nad no sooner got in than they threw off their irons, which had been pre- viously filed off for the occasion, and overpowered him, The prisoners then locked him i the cell, and in passing out of the jall building, im which the keeper's family lives, locked every door after them, As soon as the jailer succeeded in Ross out of the cell an alarm was raised by ring- my the Ore bells in the town, and @ party oi men set out with a bloodhound in pursuit of the fugi- tives, Orme was overhauled, but Brooks could not be found, and it is sapposed that he perished imisera- bly from cold and bunger in the mountains to which he fled. ORME’S LAST DAYS, Orme, after his capture, was heavily chatnea and ®@ guard bight and day kept watch over him. He conducted hunself very quictiy, and up to Tuesday morning last It Was generally supposed that he had fully made up bis mind that his ume had come. The Sherif, however, on Tuesday morning entered his cell and told bim he wanted him to go into a room opposite the cell he occupied, aa it was his intention to erect the scaifoid in the ceil. Orme at once stood ‘Up and, to the surprise of the Sheri irons, which the prisoner had again Gling off. He laughed heartily at the officiai’s astonish- ment, and going towards the tron-barred wipdow and pointing to two of the bars, which were nearly filed in twain, remarked, “Weil, you came near having another hunt after me.” On Tuesday night he was visited by a gentieman who nad been very kind to him during his imprisonment, and after con- — with him @ litue while on tus future state he asked the visitor if it would be a sin for him to coimmit suicide, The gentleman answered nat it would be @ very great sin, Whereupon Orme sanded him @ package, containing six grains of morphine, which he said he sad intended to have taken that night. When asked as to how he had come by it he said that he had “saved it by bits’ from prescriptions that were givea uim during bis buprisonment, A REMARKABLE SCENE. The scaffold was erecied im the cell opposite to that of the prisoner and consisted sinply of two up. right beams, acrossplece for the rope and a plat- form that worked on hinges, aud which was sup- ported on the outer edge by an upright piece of wood. At eleven o'clock on Weducs day, after having prayed very earnestly with the Key. Mr. Ridgeway, ils spiritual aaviser, he was conducted to the Keatold. There were about filly persons in the cell where the scaffold was, and Orme, a8 he Walked up the steps, appeared to be the Most unconcerned man in the piace. He was seated in 4 chair While the death warrant was being read, and at the close of tbe reading, when the Sherif asked him if he had anything to say, he called for @ glass of water, aud, rewaiming seated, de- livered a rambling speech, the pith of which was that he had been ny, tried and convicted on false evidence. He closed by saying, ‘i never got a oo of clothing, of shirts or socks or saything of that kind, id 1 got #0 covered with vermin that the only way I could get rid of them was by burning them with a lighted candie.’ Sheriff Merwine, to the utter astonishment of eve. rybody, at this point interrupted the condemned man by asking, “You mean that was before your trial?’ “Yes,” replied Orme, whereupon ex-Sheruf Henry, who was Sheriff at the time referred to by the prisoner, advanced to the scaifold from the gath- had h @ ha@ desired, aoa soner said he had not had all this led to @ deLate between the man on the scaffold and the ex-Sherif which lasted for several mimutes, and wouid still have continued had no’ citizen of the place stepped up to the | hin desist.

It was now hall-past eleven o’clock, and the prisoner's spiritual manded that the execution shouid be post until the arrival of the one o'clock mail train, Vwoich might bring @ reprieve,” they The Sheri? was at first unwilling to a to the demana, but the sapiens of the minister had ite effect on Orme, and he ‘ged a postponement as & “last favor.” Kor a minute or #o there Was 6 Wwrang!: and the spectators looked at one another tn are pore dp aA at a loss to koow whether dc 0 see @ man hanged o1 d farce, in which Adit hig | present wan enperted to play @ particular part. The Sheriff finally concluded to postpone the execution, and so the prisoner was taken down from the scaffold and reconducted to his cell, while the spectators adjourned to dinner, A SOENE OF HORROR, Jn the meantime the crowds that had about the jail early in the morning began to increase, Merwine did notnit m was running to the Gepat, fearing to d | yemarked to Brooks that by fol- ehonid certainly get to the depot al | oF a UGE INE Dig Was, Wy IyEued Opt and the subject of the postponment becam topic of conversation, Nor wes une auarraceret scene between toe prisoner and the ex-Sherif, ‘Hp tas forges Disasely ay W ouiyy lang Come | NEW YORK HERALD, TEORSD “Goud have mercy on me.’? with his hat on, had ‘The Sherif meanwhile, bound the culprit’s arms ‘and legs with strips of musii; and after he had placed the noose on the condemned man’s neck, exciaim- ing as he did so, “I’m putting this on as comforta- bly as I can, so ag not to hurt you, Charley,” he hur- ried down the steps, and, wane hold of the rope at- tached to the upright which upheld the drop, with a sudden jerk puiled the bar from its place, The scene that followed none who witnessed it can ever efface from his memory. The bar and the drop fell with a crash, and at the same instant the rope above the noose broke with a like of @ whip, and Qrme fell a distance of yeret, Ne Neat on ee ‘hard floor of the ison.

The body fell about four feet and rebounded slightly as the noose tigntened about the neck. ‘The rope did not break, but the knot of the noose struck the man’s throat directly under the chin, and hia struggle with death was’ conse- quently a prolonged one, To add additional horror to the scene the muslin that bouud his arma behind him had not been tied tight enough, and several times, while the body was dangling in the alr, the right hand was raised fo the neck and clung convul- sively to the shirt bosom, near the throat. The left hand also, as the body awcing against the drop, grasped hold of one side of the platform and clutched It for several seconde, and when 1t finally became weakened and was compelled to relax its hold it closed) on the board so firmly that the grating of tne tnger nails could be plainly heard all over the hall. For tifteen minutes the poor fellow struggled violently, and was not dead until twenty-five minutes had elapsed trom the time he was swung off. When the body was cut down tt was placed ina plain coitin and interred in a Corner of one of the town cemeteries, A more horribie execution never took place in the United States, The Sherif did his work bunglingly from beginning to end, and had it not been for the presence in the town of Judge Barrett, wno tried to bring order out of chaos, there is no knowm, what additional horrors might not have been addec to the “execution of the law !??

The parties undertook to agree to some method of adjustment, but failed. His Excellency thereupon said that he would be compelled to declare the dis- rict in a state of insurrection, take pos session of the road as a military necessity, and run it as a military road. If they thought such a course advisable lor the stockholders, and that the State should be put to the expense of a quarter of a Million of dollars to enforce his prociamation, they might take the responsibilily, His course, how- ever, was clear to him, and he should pursue it. Thereupon the counsel of the respective parties, consisting of Messrs, David Dudley Field, John Gauson and Amasa J. Parker, representing tne Erie interest, and Messrs, William F.

BINGHAMTON, August 11, 1809. The wer of the railroad companies bas grown igigustly upterenting, Tu yumber on both sidep Mn Bante gathered along the Albany and Susquehanaa Rall road is from twelve to fourteen hundred men. Last night @ large proportion of these men came in col+ lision and fought two battles with pistc's, bludgeons, &e. Eight or ten received shot wounds or bruises more or leas severe, To-day the forces are ranged along the road between the Tunnel station and Har- persville, a distance of a few miles; but the pres- ence of the troops of the fourth regiment will robably prevent a renewal of hostilities. ‘Ihe fol- Sid ‘are the particulars of the two battles of last night:— f Ene Company had at four or five o’clock in the afternoon from seven to eight hundred men at the tunnel and holding the station near it, The force of the Albany party at the upper end of the tunnel numbered, between six and seven o’clocy, thirty-five men, at which ume the main force of 350 or 409 men arrived. At about that time the Erie manages de termined to take the disputed ground. A trato of two cars was filled witp men, numbering perhaps 250, and sent into the tunnel. No obstruction was met with until the tunnel was passed. At the upper end @ rail was found to have been taken up, an was replaced. on turning @curve a train with Ramsey men on board was observed appl » ‘The rie men say they whistled “down brakes,” while the other train increased its speed. Seeing this the speed of the Erie train was increased, and the two trains struck with @ heavy crash, Tue colll- sion Wag the signal for the fight. ‘The A baby men rushed upon the Erie men with shouts, and they had scarcely come to blows before the Erle party fled back through the tunnel and over it.

After the engine was righted 18 was driven through the tunnel; but so much time had elapsed that the Erie men were rallied and ready for battle again. ‘The conflict was reopened with great tury, The Erte men, occupying their own ground, had no in- tention of iving it up; besides me? were expectin: momentarfly the arrival of the Forty-fourth regl- ment, The Albany men, flushed with success, at- tacked vigorously. Pistols were used, with stones, clubs and fists, Threats, cries and horrid oaths were mixed so a8 to be quity unintelligible, except as to their hideousness and profanity. Some of the men were drunk. ‘rhe @ght was contmued until about eight o’clock, when, the Forty-fourth regiment having arrived, the Albany men left the fleld and returned to the other end of the tunnel. They were not pursued, on agcount of the darkness. ‘The Erle men sustained nearty all the injuries and took one prisoner, An Albany man pushed on 80 boldly and so far in the last fight that he found him- self quite alone, and getting behind a car for refuge was surrounded aud taken. iis captors roposed to Kill tim, and struck him upon his Reaa and one hand with their clubs; but he recog- nized one of their number, who proposed to make a prisoner of him, and it was agreed to. At half-past eleven he escaped and went to his own place, where he wandered alone until this morning. It is impossible to make a completo list of the wonded. ‘Two of the Erie men received pistol shot wounds—one, Charies Ernest, of Susque- hanna, was shot through the hand; the other was shot im the leg. ihe following were in- jurea, some of them severely:—John Hassel, of Susqnehanna, skull probably fractured; Edward Herrold, of Susquehanna, — struck with a heavy club on the head; George Col- grove, of Susquchauna, injured on the bead; Wil- liam Bolger, hurt on the breast; John Smith, clubbed; Fonn Simpson, conductor, struck by stones on the head and side. Ali of these were Erie men. No names of the injured on the otier side were liven. . ‘There was no disturbance after tie two fights of last night, neither caring to indulge even in guerilla warfare, This morning the first reconnoissance was mado by a newspa: map, who went at early daylight through the tunnel. He found that the Albany party, which had waited until eleven o'clock at night, had gone to Harpersville, with the promise to Teturn at daylight, but were aull there. Only the lone individual who had escaped from cap- ture was insight, Just inside of the tunnel stood a freight car off the track and a rail near it displaced. At noon the Ramsey party had not come to the tun- nel; and it 1s thought that as Harpersville is just on the boracr of Broome and Chenango counties the stand against the Erle men will be made there. ‘The workmen of the Albany and Susquehanna Company were engaged this afternoon in tearing up the track and severing the connections. At hall- past two o’clock an extra train came up from the depot in charge of the militia and Colonel Kobie, after reading a despatch from the Governor, repaired the tract so that the supply train could pass over. All is now quiet at the tunnel, A trestle bridge at Port Dickinson was set on fire to-day, but the fames were extinguished, The road is now guardedat all important points, « The Stock of the Rond—A Clear Majority of Shares Claimed by the Erie Party—The Ex- amination Before the Retcree. ALBANY, August 1), 1869, According to the showing of the party in pos- session the account of stock appearing on the books is 20,600 snares, of which the Erle preferred own 11,200 shares, giving them a clear maiority. This This inciudes the 2,400 shares which Wilber claimed had been fraudulently issued and upon which issue was based the first action in this dificulty, That stock was sold at twenty-five, and was issued, with personal notes as collateral, to carry on the work on the road. The Fisk party are triumphant, in their own estimation, and claim that they have been legal In every movement. ‘The examination was continued before Surrogate Lawiin this morning. The evidence of a clerk in the Clerk’s office of New York shows that the bond in the Fisk receivership was filed after ten o’clock on the morning of the 7th of August, The Prayn recetver- ship bond was approved at ten o'clock on the even- ing of the 6th of August and filed at half-past eight ou the morning of the 7th, BROOKLYN POLITICS.

One was from Mr. George H. Fisher, who thought it time something was done to purify local politica, Another was from Mr. George G. Bergen, who said he fully concurred in the movement, Mr. Joseph M. Greenwood slso sent a letter, in which ne said the time had come that the taxpayers of the clty of Brooklyn should vote against the corrupt rings on every side, more espectaily when thoy saw they were forming allt. 2 for the purpose only of securing the spoils of otlice, PROPOSED PLAN OF ORGANIZATION, The CHAIRMAN stated that the committee ap- poluted at the previous meeting for the purpose of arawing up the plan of organization met on Mon- day morning, but they were not all present. He would read the articles, which, he said, had been hastily drawn up, and leave them for the considera- tion of the genticmen present, The plan set foruh the following:— Fi e association to be known as “The Munictpal Reform Association.” Secont—The object being to select honest and capable men for office and urge such mensures as re the auprey macy of the people in our municipal Third—The ollicers of the association to be a president, first, second and third vice president, wecretary and treas- urer, to be elected annually.

They shouid,select the best men from all parties. Mr. HENRY HBARTEAU then made a length speech, im the course of which he pitched into pr sent political organizations and poited to the jus- tices of the peace as samples of the men who wera put up by these organizations for the sufirages of the taxpayers, The speaker said {t rested with the taxpayers to control the politics of the city, aud they could do It if they desired, THE LEGISLATURE AT FAULT. Mr. J. F. HENNESSEY thought it made but litle difference about ward politiClaps; the great fault was in the Legisiature. ‘They created commissions, and now the Common Council bad no more power than ward politicians.

The Major called the attention of the members of the association ta the fact that they would soon have an Spportanuy of exerting thoir influence in behalf of those who had jeopardized their lives to preserve the Union. The clams of the soldiers in the coming Nn ged should not be overlooked, and if the political organizations of the country turned a deaf ear to them they would place a ticket of their own in the fleld. Ten propositions for membership were approved Pa the commitiee on credentials ordered to ex- amine. Fifteen new members were elected; and the assocl- ation then adjourned until the isth of August. PROBABLE HOMICIDE, Stabbing Affray at a Brooklyn Gas House. ‘The gas house of the Citizens’ Gas Company, Smith street, near Fourth place, about two o’clock yester- day afternoon, was the sceneof an affray which, it 1s believed, will result in the death of the injured party. It appears, from what can be learned through the statements of the prisoner, whose name is Owen Hand, and the police, that an old feud has exist- ed for some time between James O’Donnell and Hand. This rankied the temper of both men, who were employed as laborers at the house, and encounters growing out Of this il feeling were not of uncommon occur- rence. Shortly after resuming work, between one and two o’clock in the noon, O'Donnell, so the prisoner says, met him ip @ passageway and threw sand In iis fuce and struck him twice with his fist, Soon after tiis they met again and clutchec each other, but were separated by fellow workmen. ‘Ihe next time they encountered each other, which was but @ few minutes subsequently, Hand stabbed his adver- sary with a sheath knife, such as sailors use, inflicting two terrible wounds, The frst stab, which was in the pit of the stomach, belug so deep~ and broad as to cause the bowels to protrude in # frightful manner. The second wound, witch is not go severe, ig in the breast. One of the bystanders immediately procured the assiscance of a surgeon, while another notified the police at the Forty-third Precinct station house. .A couple of patrolmen were at once despatched to the scene of the affray and removed the injured man to the Long Island College Hospital. Haud in the meantime repaired to the station house and and voluntarily surrendered himself to Sergeant Govens, who was on duty at the desk at the time. He was locked up in the cells to await further inves- ration. The prisoner is about thirty-five years of age, a laborer, a native of Ireland, is married, aud resides on Fitth street, near Smith. The wounded man, whose condition was very critical last evening, 18 also married and has a family living in Court street, near Church. At a@ laie hour last night it was re- ported that the wounded man had dled of his injuries. SHIPPING NEWS.
