A Mysterious Man and a Startling Statement— Tnterview with Superintendent Jourdan— ‘Was the Assassin a Stranger to the De- coated t-Opinion of a Criminal Law- yer—Proceedings at Mount Sinai Hospital—The Funeral 'To-Day. ‘The foul, dark tragedy that was enacted on Friday morning # 12 West Twenty-iinrd street, still con- Unues to be the theme of general comment. Forthe Ronee the war in Europe 1s forgotten, the gallant contest between a young American and a brave, bold Englisnman for the honor of nautical reputa- on sinks mto a subject of the past, and affairs of Blate and local political topics cers so be cour mensfen upon, so great ts the interest felt im the latest @nd the most mysverious horror that has ever sturrea New Yorkers, and thrilled them with wouder ard alarm at tle daring of the deed. Around YHY WIFTA AVENUE HOTEL the Sabbath ceatre of moneyed men, of which Mr, Nathan was an honorabte type, the itement yes- terday Was unabated, aud Knots of speculating men ‘were congregrated in the corridors, parlors and re- ception rooms, discussing the murder, and carefully analyzing every statement put forth by the Sunday press, The increase or dechae of stocks for the tie were not thought of, nor were there many anxtous to arrange a “corner” or buil the “bears.” The murder was in every man’s mouth, and the generat remark was, ‘The culprit cannot escape. The new Superintendent of Police will rua hun down if itis in dhe power of man todo it. So foul a deed, when the reward is so great, cannot fail to be productive of some clue, and ‘murder will out.’ But the excite- ment was not coniined to the hotel, THE SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY. The elegant manston, where recently a happy family gathered around the opulent board, was the great centre of attraction. Hundreds of business men, who during work days were unable to steal tame to inspect the exterior of the premises, re- paired there yes jay, and from the street gazed upon it, The police were still in charge, but would admit nore bat the immediate and most intimate Yriends of the famfy, who called to condole with them in vheir aMliction. Outside of the immediate neighborhood the horror ca comment, and even from the velvet-covered desks imprecations against the murderer were utterea by reverend di vines, Who o'er the pulpit nod, And point the way to wisdom aud to God, while leading their congregations’ thoughts towards heaven and holy things. THE POLICE Av WORK, Superintenctent Jourdan, worn out as he 1s with toil and perplexity, was for some hours at the Central OF hearing reports from Captain Kelos and his coummar actively on the jump from the moment fatelligence of the deed reached the marbie building, and giving orders for their future movements in ferreting out the criminal. Between four and six o'clock the detective oMece swarmed with eager but tired detectives, who had been up nearly all night chasing clues only to find themselves disappointed and eager for fresh orders ‘that may result in something of a tangible charac- ter. By six o’cloe received their orders fo) tered over te city. THOSE WHO ARE AT WORK »upon it have been supposed to be a few special and acute men detailed for the work, but this is an error. ‘The Superintendent nas placed every detective un- wer Captain Keiso’s command at work, aud declares that tie murder must be ciearea up if it is possible in the acumen of men to do it. VISITS PROM FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY. About tive o’clock Emanuel B. Hart and other friends of the deceased appeared at the Central Oiice and bad lengthy conferences with Mr. Jour- dan as to What had been gleaned. Of course, noth img relating to the interview transpired, but it is certain that none are more desirous of clear- ing up the mystery than the members of the grief-stricken family and thetr numerous and influential friends. Judge Bedford's internew with the Superintendent between five and stx o'clock Was @ lengthy one, and it is said that he takes adeep interest in everyting bearing apon the case, SUPERINTENDENT JOURDAN INTERVIEWED. To a number of reporters who cailed upon the Superintendent between six and seven o'ciock he distinctly stated in substance that not a singie clae to the murder had been obtained, and that while no eiorts were being spared to unravel the mystery, the police force liad, so Tar, been beaten by the com: pleie manner in which the assassin had covered his tracks and removed ali evidence likely to Jead to the establishment of his identity. In answer vo a query as to whether there was any evidence to justify the supposition put forth in a sensational weekiy that the bloody deed ‘was committed by a member of the family, he stated that the police had no information that justi- fied such an hypothesis. He freely expressed his opinion that the act was commited by a novice, whose object was plunder, but was at a loss to say whether that novice was a poor burgiar or a me- chanic who had entered upon that dangerous cull- ing for the first time. Although he did uot say so in 80 many words, his actious and intimations led his auditors to believe that he tiinks the murderer md. not leave the premises by the front door, which bears no marks of blood stains, as would have veen the case had he gone out tiat way. Sull he carefully guarded his theory and aaswered many oi the pumerous queries, some of wh were ex- ceedingly absurd, in monysyliables, ‘fhe interview clearly unpressed the writer that the Supermtendent has a well-grounded theory, which he intends, and very properly, too, to keep from the pubiic, lest its publication should deveat him in toliowiug it to a snecesstul termination and the arrest of the offender. About seven o'c.ock he took lus departure to follow ‘up the Work upon Which he is so intently bent. THE SENTIMENTS OF THE DETECTIVES. at Is unjust to the detectives to charge that they have formed combinations against each other for the purpose of securing the reward themsely They are working under the imme orders of Jourdan, who assigns iv each one his special part t play in the Work of investigation, and they are working indefatigably. The detective for have Jn the past been so frustrated ia attcmpis to unravel the Burdeli and Kogers’ aw to secure the reward, great inceuilye that mates them 1s to unearth tue assassin and viudt- cate their reputation for acuteness and energy. A MYSTERIOUS MAN—IS IT A CLUE ‘The jatesi incident Uiat seems to be likely to put the detectives on a new scent occurred on Saturday aiternoon in the iwenty-tirst ward, and, while ail the celatls wei nown to the writer a few heurs alter, they have been carefally supp! dd ubtil now lest premature publication sliould prevent the fullest in- Yestigation. Mrs. Coviey, who keeps a small sta- thonery and newspaper store at 625 Third avenue, is @ lady whose geverai appearance and apparent in- telligence give color to the truthtulness of her watement. A STARTLID Between one and two o'clock 01 ternoon a man tuboring under cor i cealed excitement entered the store and asked for some paper, It was suppued and paid for, and taking out a pencil he bent over the counter and commenced writing rapidly ia a tremulous hand. Mrs. Cooley, who had not carefally scanned tus features, was surprised by his action, and closely scanued his features while writing. She discovered that his face was covered by fresu scrate! of which were two inches in length; that on the right temple he Mad a scar covered by a large piece of sticking plasier, aud that one of lils fiugers weemed to have been cut off. ‘The attention of Mrs. Cooley's father, wilo was also tn the shop, was sitracted, aad While they were standing as silent ‘an Ps ASTONISHED SPECTATORS “the man cast a furtive giance over his shoulder ani detected that their atiention Was riveted upon, him.

A PURSUIT. McDonald, who is quick to execute, hurriedly despatched detective Loftus and other officers, tn citizens’ clothes, down the avenue in search of the man, and confiscating @ horse and wagon standing hear a livery stable near by, jumped into it, and, Putting the animal down to his best speed, hurried down Lexington avenue, intending to head off the fellow, If possible, und secure him, At Cooper In- stitute he turned inio Third avenue, and, driving alongside of every car, through the window scanned the features of every passenger for tus man. Clear down to City Hall Park he drove, examining each car, but, falling to find the person sought for, re- turned disgusted. Arriving at the station house he was chagrined to find that his detectives had) met with no better success, and for the time the seareh was abandoned. ‘The de- tectives, however, were on the alert and closely questioned Mrs, Cooley, who sus‘ained all her pre- vious utterances to the letter, and staied in adaition that the man was of medium height and wore gray clothes. “ON THE FLY." During the entire afvernoon the Captain and his men were searcuing the’ ward and scourea it in per- son Without learning anything of importance; but the search was not abandoned. MORE STARTLING MYSTERY. Nothing was seen or heard oi the mysterious stranger until between eight or nine o'clock of the same evening, Wien he walked into Mrs. Cooley’s store Completely changed In dress—wearing black coat and pants, white yest and black and white mixed straw hat, and informed Mrs. Cooley that he had leit a pocketbook in her store containing some valuabie but no apers, money, She informed him he haa leit no pocket- book in the place, When he became very violent and leit, ais time he was accompanied by a villanous- looking man, Who made no remark and retired with bun. FURTHER SINGULAR MOVEMENTS. Leaving No. 625, which ts between ‘hirty-ninth and Forticth streets, the men crossed the street and walked down the avenue. Knowing that Captain McDonald wanted to make the acquatntance ot the scarred man Mrs. Cooley looked for a policeman, but saw none. In this dilemma, like a shrewd woman, she sent her niece out to follow them. ‘fhe girl traced them toa small shop on the north side of Third avenue, between Thiriy-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets, which 1s used for dispensing toys, confectionery, and Stationery. This the men entered, and purchasing some paper the one with the scratched face wrote for some minutes and the two lett. THE POLICE AGAIN DEFEATED. While the niece was thus playing the part of a de- tective an oflicer was found by Mrs. Cooley and des- autched to the station house in Thirty-fitth street, hear Third avenue, to inform Captain McDonald of the presence of the man in the uetgibourhood; but before McDonald and his detectives reached the pe Where the men had written their letters they ad gone. WHO 13 THIS MAN? These facts came to the knowledge of the writer accidentally, and yesterday he so informed ihe police captain, who adinitted their correctness, but will not veuture to give an opinion as to whether he believes they have any bearing upon the inurder, It fs certain thac they are worth investigating, and, as the Captain was at the Central department for some time yesterday and jeft hurriedly, 1t is proba- ble Superintendent Jourdan is following up what may be a clue. Was the Assassin of Mr. Nathan a Stranger to the Deceased ?=A Criminal Lawyer’s Hy- pothesis, The writer, one of the corps of HERALD reporters who have veen despatched to every quarter of this vast metropolis to fathom the Nathan mystery and collect facts connected with the tragedy, heard the following plausible hypothesis advanced by a cele- brated criminal lawyer atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. The conversation which led to the theory commenced by this question:— ReEPporTEeR—You have had a long criminal prac- tice at the New York bar—what is your opinion of this Nathan murder? LawyeER—I am positive that Mr. Nathan was murdered by a person with whom he was at least acquainted, REPORTER—On what do you base your belief? LAWYER—From the tollowing tacts, which, in strict analysis of the case, amount to almost circumstan- tal evidence:—In the first piace it seldom occurs that a professional burglar, whose only object is plunder, would have given more than one blow, and then, aiter felling his victtm, sprang at his throat and endeavored by strangulation to stifle his cries, Again, almost any man in the ‘ull vigor of youth and health, unarmed, would have been paralyzed wore wnanimonsly ordered to be engrossed upon the minutes, published and transmitted to the family: A terious murder, with whose tra; details probably everybody Uiroughout this broad and. iy now familiar, haa suddenly removed from earth our beloved associate aud our President of e Mount Sinas ‘who for many years bus been ‘Amid the profound sadness of an entire metropolis over his death we febl how inadejjuate and. weak vem any words of sorrow or ributy rene Femains of our the grave without ‘rst d pyr ipa ute ough tain sh aticying thro in ‘cabay’ 0 ima of Wig tauricoy hin onaifected de- entay wo nvar; col a ieanor to all of bigh or low estate, his tianifold. and unos. tentatious generosittes wi duties religious purity of thougbt and speech, his incessant ‘4 al teaching of holy command, “Love thy neighbor as thyself,’ his perfect hou of business intercourse, his magnetic ‘companionshi his sympathetic ‘of compassion and mnerey, bis reined sovial hospitality, bis scholarly attaine ments, and that courage which sigoalied bis dying hour.

B, HART, Vice President, Sanvxt. A, Lewrs, Honorary Secretary. New York, July 31, 1870, Three of the directors, Messrs. May, Sommerich and Aaronson, are absent from the city—Mr. May in Canada, Mr. Sommerich at Saratoga, sick, and Mr. Aarouson in Europe—which precluded their pre- sence at the meeting. The directors’ room 1s deco- rated in the sable garb of mourning. ‘The late presi- dent’s chatr 1s vacant, covered with crape. Black and white crape are hung around the walls and over the various tablets. Under a large marble slab, framed and hung in the centre of the chamber, on which are engraved the names of Benjamin Nathan and Joseph Fatman—an everiasting memento to their generosity for having donated the munificent sum of $10,000 each to the permanent fund of the hospial—contains ut the bottom a fine picture of the late Mr. Nathan, and this is also covered with the deep weeds of grief and sorrow. The board of directors and donating members of the Mount Sinai Hospival will atvend the tuneral of the deceased in a body. The Late Mr. Nathan and an American Rail- road King. It has aiready been stated that the late Mr. Ben- Jamin Nathan took very great interest in all chari- table movements among -his co-religionists, This interest exerted itself not only by princely contri- butions of money to societies and institutions de- voted to such purposes, but he gave up to it much of his time and personal labor tn order to enable them to increase their operations and enlarge the scope of their beneficent influence. The hebrew Bene- volent and Orphan Asylum Society was one of these, and he was reckoned not ouly as one of its founders but one of its most active and eficient promoters. But perhaps his greatest share of activity he be- stowed upon Mount Sinai Hospital, of which insti- indebted to his leadership and generosity for the tution he was president for many years, one which is largely success it has achieved, And the very many of those who, though not of the Hebrew faith, were re- ceived at the hospital on account of accidental in- jury or other bodily ill which befel them, and were treatedand cured gratuitously, should, in_ their never omit Mr. Naitan, who always tn- hat in succoring the unfortunate no liberal distinction ought to be made on account of religtous convictions. Lately he was most active in the hur- rymg on of the building of the new hospi- tal on Lexington avenue aud Seventy-sixth street, and acted as chairman of the Finance Comunttee and did all in his power to procure subscriptions to the building fund, Last winter, one Sunday aficr- noon, this finance committee heid a meeting in the vestry room of the Temple Emanuel, on Fiith ave- nue and Forty-third street, at which Mr, Nathan ided. Heand Mr. Emanuel B, Hart nad been ting as a sub-committee to receive donations to the hospital fund. A HERALD representative was present, and to him Mr. Nathan related tbe follow. ing experience he had had with a well known rall- road king of New York, on whom this sub-commit- tee had called a few days before that. As near as possiple Mr. Nathan’s own words are given in this narrative: “Mr. Hart and myself called on the gentleman,” said Mr, Nathan, ‘‘and stated the object of our com- img. I told him that im the course of about two years nearly forty persons, more or less seriously by the presence of @ burglar in his apart- ment, and before recovering his self-possession would have fallen an easy victim to the assassin. Here, however, was a feeble old man, who, instead of being, as one would naturally suppose, enervated by the shock the presence of a desperado at mid- night must have produced, was evidently full of unusual vitality, aad seemed to have had a des- | ag struggle with his opponent, 1 have part arly noticed in the numerous cases of burglary which have come uader my observation that such conflicts seldom, if ever, happen; and there 18 not an instance on record in the New York criminai calendar wherein a burglar has siruck more than one or _ two biows, and these have iuvariably been with a weapon such as a kulfe or butt of a pistol. The assassin, if he intended mere robbery, must have known that one of the blows inflicted on Mr. Nathan would have been amply sufilcient to either deprive him of life or to reuder him sufticientty insensibie for all purposes of theft from te person, Here, however, fifteen blows were struck, and even if they followed in rapid sequence some minutes must have elapsed before the fiend’s work was completed. Could cupidity give the most determined villain the vim and nerve to so mutilate the almost inanimate corpse of a man to whom he was an entire stranger? Ni there were other passions aroused than that of reck- less tuirst for plunder, and the most VINDICTIVE FEELINGS that could aniinate the human heart and lend it a fiendish animosity seemed to have been wrought to frenzy by some other means than the meye resist- ance of @ weak, blind old man. THE ASSASSIN, who could have struck fifteen blows, and then neg- lected to carry oif his victim’s pocketbook, must have been a singular type of burglar. Robbery in this case was evidently an afterthought, aud meant to mislead the public as to the murderer’s motives. My opinion is that the assassin was known to Mr. Nathan, and his presence in the deceased gentiemau’s apartment was on their first meeting perfectly legitimate and not unvsual. A con- versation must have taken place, and mutual recrimiations passed, causing apger on both sides. The contention from words came to threats, and at length the fever fires of passion inflamed every vein im the assassin’s frame, und the old man, under the impulse of UNCONTROLABLE ANGER, must have huried « volley of irritating epithets, which Induced an attack, The assassin grasped the first weapon which came to nis hand and dealt his victim a blow which, under ordinary circumstances, would have produced instant insensibility; but the excited state of Mr, Nathan at the time gave him new Vitality, much the same as the soldier in the heat of battle who receives, but hardly notices, the fatal wound. The struggie consequently 1s pro- tracted, and anger, passion and revenge have full sway; The victim falls ieless, but msatlavle raze 1s hot appeased, and VINDICTIVE BLOWS fall furiously long aiter life is extinct. No doubt terrible oaths sprang to the murderer’s foaming lips, and imagination pictures the vengeful gieain in the flasling eye as each dull blow fell with a sodden sound on the prostrate bouy. Then must have c the fearful reaction that unpremeditated murde brings, and fear and trembling supplautea RAGE AND VINDICTIVENESS. | vluich caused the hee ee and murder must be ed. in order to misiead public opin- jon the ch es of the deceased were rifled, the jew- elry abstracted; but, strange to say, the pocketbook was leit. The safe was ovened after the murder, as the discovery of one of the drawers on the bed evie dently proves, and it was there placed to enable the murderer to use both hands in examining the con. | tents, as he was assuredly looking for sume special document, F¥oin these circumstances 4 repeat that the assas- sin oi Mr. Nathan was not unknowa to the deceased, nor Was he a stranger to the household aud the hab: its of is tumates, Meeting of the Board of Directors of Mount Sinai Hospital—Tribute to tue Worth of Deceased and Condolence to the Family. A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mount Sinal Hospital, located in West Twenty-eighth street, of which the late Mr. Benjamin Nathan was presi- dent and the most devoted friend, was held yester- fday morning in the directors’ room, Emanuel B. “Hart, Vice President, presiding, and the following members present:—Messrs. Guiterman, Abecaasis, Lewis Rosenbaum, M. Stadler and Mr. Fatman, \~ Mr. HART, alter calling the meeting to order, ina feeling and sorrowful manner, announced that the meeting, irrespective of the usual weekly assem- blage, was called to take action on the heartrending and violent death of the noble president and uno- swerving friend aud patron of not oaly the Mount Sinai Hospital, but of every charitable project, no Toalier of what creed or description. Mr. Hart di tatied the manner in which the flustrious deceased came to his uatimely end, and said it was but due to their late lamented president that the Board of Directors of the Mount Sinat Hospital take such action in the premises, demonstrative of the sorrow and aiiliction caused by their bereavement, commensurate with tue many and sterling virtues ofthe late Mr. Nathan. Mr. Hart concluded by im- pressing upon the board todo thetr utmost in pro- tecting those left behind by Mr. Nathan with ail their might, and assist in binding up the terrible wounds inflicted upon their hearts by the midnight assassia. Mr, Hart ten offered the following reter- ences WW ald eniowies upon the deceayed, which injured along the line of his railroad within the city, had been brought to the Mount Sinai Hospital ana there treated without the expense of a cent either to the railroad or to the injured parties; that with the increase of the population in that re of the city au increase also im the number of such accidents Tay be looked tor, and that the enlarged accommodations provided for in the new hospital could give more lfberal assistance to such as ay be so unfortunate as to be injured on the road. For this reason we hoped that he would feel inclined, by a donation to our fund, to help us along to do as we had done heretoiore and would do again. ‘This was the sub- stance of our statement, to Which the gentleman re- plied that he would give us $1,000 If we could prove that he ever contributed one cent to a charity. Receiving this answer, we left. Next day he sent us, through his treasurer, a check for $300, which i declined to accept, and immediately returned to him. Such was substantially the narrative of the late Mr. Nathan to the He«aLp representative, made atthe meeting mentioned above. It is not known wheiher since then the New York railroad millionaire has changed his mind aud consented to contribute to “a charity,” AFFRAYS YESTERDAY, William Melledy and Jon Wray, of 274 Bowery, became involved in an altercation in Chrystie street, near Canal, and during the fight which ensued Mel- ledy stabbed Wray several times about the head and face with a pocket knife, inflicting severe wounds, Wray was taken home, and Melledy was arrested and locked up. Patrick Dooley, aged twenty-four, of No. 226 East Twenty-second street, during a quarrel with some young men in Twenty-second street, was struck on the head and severely injured by a brick thrown by aman named Rogers, who escaped. Dooley was cared for at Bellevue Hospital. Last evening an aifray occurred on the arrival of the steamer ‘Yittamer at the foot of Spring street, North river, among some of the members of the Ocean Seamen's Association, who had been on an excursion to Exceisior Park.

The officer took him to the station house, where he stated that at about half-past ten yes- terday morning, while two German carpenters, named David Abbeti and James Rappe, were seated in his saloon waiting for aman who was to pay them some money, an Irishman, whose name Elfers did not kuow, entered and asked the Germans to drink with him, but they refused.

(July 29) correspondence Chicago Times.] On the 12th of April, 1868, Plassibo Calhoun, an old man upwards of sixty years of age, was shot dead infront of his own dwelling, at the village of Beck's Creek, situated in the southwestern portion of Shelby county, Ill, Five mea were arrested for the deed, Hubbard Holder, William and Philip Grass, Samuel Moore and Joseph Meyers. At the trial the jury was out all night and returned at ten o'clock im the morning with a verdict sentencing Hubbard Holder and Joseph Meyers to death, Philip Grass to the Penitentiary for life, and his son William to the same Institution for twenty years, Moore had turned State’s evidence, and was there- fore acquitted. Holder and Meyers were confined in the Suelbyville Jail, and the date of the hangin; was fixed for the 2vth. pinding. that all popes o! escape were entirely useleas the convicted men turned their attention to religious matters, Rev. William H. Steadman, the Bapust clergyman of the city, became a reguiar visitor at their ceil, and about two weeks ayo succeeded in extracting a confession from each of them. Meyers, who seemed to be sin- cere in his repentance, nade What appeared to be a clean breast. His story was very nearly identical with the main body of the testimony submitted, Holder and Meyers were confined together ina very small iron ceil, In the next apurunent to thelrs was found Constantine Maas, @ German, who in a fit of freazy had slain a man who was insulting his wife, the deed having been perpetrated at tie town of Windsor, about twelve miles away, There was aiso confined in the same building a woman charged with infanticide, making four beings whose hands had been imbraed in their fellow creatures’ blood sleeping bengath the same small roof. A narrow corridor stretched between the cell of the condemned men aud a grated window. Directly under this window, and almost in sight of tne wretches who were to «danuie from it, was erecied the scattold. The jail had been jound too smail to allow of the gallows being put up inside of its walls, and the framework of death had consequently been ‘built within @ high-boarded enclosure, about twenty feet square, just outside the bullding. The prisoners could plainly hear the sound of the workmen's tools and voices as the ghostly structure was ele- vated, while every word of the sheriff, who was superintending the formation of the same, was also plainly distinguishable, EFFORTS TO PROCURE A PARDON. Few single nurders have ever occurred In which the sentiments of the community have been so singularly divided as in this killing ef Oalhoun. The assassinated man was generaily admitted to be a hard characler; but there were few, however pre- judiced they might have been against him, that could approve of the cold-blooded manner of his taking off. The sympathies of nearly the entire portion of the residents of southern Itinois were found to be enlisted in the affair, and Governor Palmer was besieged for severai days before the date of execution by parties anxious to have him interfere in the case, as well as by those who wished him to Jet the iaw take its course. The hanging party was strongly in the majority, but those who were seeking for a reprieve or pmmutation were the most infuential, Judge Gailagher, Messrs, ‘Thorn- ton, Harris, Wendeliug and Hall, ’General Logan, and several other gentlemen of prominence, ter posed tn behalf of Holder especially, claiming that he was only an accessory, and nov an active par- tcipaut in the crime, HOLDER'S SENTENCE COMMUTED. ‘The result was that on Thursday evening a des- patch was received from Springiieid announcing that Holder's sentence had been commuted to im- prisoament for life. PUBLIC FEELING, ‘There was a strong feeling in Shelbyville and ad- jacent towns against this personing criminal, aud the sheriff was afraid lest attempts at lyne ing might be made if the news of the affair should be noised abroad, Strict secrecy was consequeully enjomed upon the few who weve aware of the commuting, and it was, moreover, determined to start the con- vict for Joliet at dead of night. The train was to leave at about two o'clock in the morning. No word was given to the repricved man until after midnight of the change that had occurred in jus case. HOW THE PRISONER RECEIVED THE NEWS. Shortly after twelve o'clock the sheriff came into the corridor, withouy alight, and stretched himself upon his bed, as had been his usual custom for months past. But the prisoners, knowing well that eiforts were being made to save them from the rope, had not fallen asleep, but were waiting longingly for the appearance of their keeper to learnif he had any tidings of uncir fate. Holder, the uneasiest of the pair, could not keep silent, but called out to the sheriff :— “lreckon,” said the criminal, “that you have heard something, sir?” “I have,” was the reply, The men spring to their feet and rush up to the breatuing holes in the heavy iron door. “For God’s sake, tell us,” implores Holder, “is it to live or die??? “You are to be parted,” 1s tie slow response; “one goes to Joliet for tife and the other hangs.” Not a sound comes from out the cage several min- utes, save Che long pantings of the imprisoned mur- derers, each dreading to ask the final question, each hoping, with the fondness of the last hope for liie, that he may be the one that 1s to be saved for the lingering death of the penitentiary. At last Mey- ers. struggling with his throat, asks clearly and dis- Unctly, “Well, which is it’? and tien comes the terrible answer, ‘‘You have got to die.” “Tam glad that it isn’t Hub,” is the prompt reply. ‘I killed Calhoun, and I am ready to go to my God.” Lights are shen brought in and the great doors of the cell are swung open. Holder, a thin, lank scoundrel, with a villanous face, from one side of which gicains his solitary eye, is led blnkmg to the outside, Heavy irons are loaded upon him until their weight bows him to the figure of a man of eighty. He bids farewell to his companions in crime. and 1s ascorted into the cor- ridor, and then the thick metallic door clashes to- gether, rasty bolts are turned, and Joseph Meyers, whose white terror-stricken face peers through the tiny slit im the cell as the parly passes trom his sight, is left alone in the darkness, his horribie thoughts his only company, and Just outside the win- dows, not a dozen feet from him, the gallows beams: from which he fs to hang a swathed, limp corpse. Holder is marched as fast as his chains wil per- mit through the deserted streets to the depot, and in a few minutes 18 whirling along toward the yellow walls of Joliet. Shelbyville awakes in the morning and finds that it has been robbed of a victim. Little Knots of men congregate at the corners, and earnest, excited and oitimes angry conversations ensue. It 18 admitved by all that the greater scoundrel has been the recipient of clemeucy, and that the dupe of the sharper Knaves bas been leit behind to die, Some swear vengeunce on the attorneys who alded in procuring the reprieve. Outside of tne building tae crowd augments rapidly, the incoming trains and teams bringing fresh relays of morbid curiosity seekers. At a lew minutes before nine o'clock @ merchant arrives with a bundle, and Meyers is soon attired in perhaps the most respectabie suit of clothes he ever wore in his life, presented to him by tue Sherti?, who is anxious to have convict appear us decently as possible at the last nour, ‘The morn- mg ars rapidly along, the crowd growiug larger each moment, and more excited as the reinforce- ments continue to arrive. There are mutterings of enge upon the heads of those who were instru- menial in vbim@nung Holder's commutation, and with the usual reversious of extreme sentiment there is expressed a strong sympathy for Meyers, sire to save fim froin the rope. fhe Governor 1s loudiy execrated for haying interfered In the matter at all, as wellas for not having reprieved both of he culprits. MEYERS ADDRESSES THE CROWD. Meyers begs for the privilege of addressing the crowd, and iis wish is grated. Kneeling down by the grated window, with his wife and children beside hin, he makes a few rambling and discon- nected remarks to the crowd, and ts led away. His words are, in effect, that he has been @ miserabie sinner, tat he was reared ln the backwoods, and Was allowed to grow up without any knowledge of God or of men, Dut that fe hopes, as the breath leaves is wicked boy this day, that he may be allowed to meet his departed friends and relatives m another and better world. The sheriff, he states, has always been Kind towards him, and he trusts Uhat the Almighty will reward him accordingly, ‘The coin is brought to the building and placed near the foot ot the scaffold, and just before noon comes the last terrivie parting with his wife and darling little ones. ‘the crowd outside may now be numbered by thousands, and the air is filled with threats of viovent in- terlerence. <A few well-meaning but tactless souls deem it necessary that the crowd should be appeased, and accordingly a county preacher, James Moon by name, mounts a chair and makes an ear- nest appeal to the surging multitude. He deciares that he has just conversed with the condemned, and the latter has informed him that he prefers death by strangulation to life mmured in the penitentiary. He closes by imploring the assem- bhi to remain quiet and allow the law to take its course. A detachment of citizens armed with guns and revoivers, and commanded by Captain Rosse! a'veteran of the Mexican and Union wars, patrols outside the jail to keep the angry crowd at bi ATTEMPTED RESCU Suddenty an old 1 leaps upon the curbing across the street, and with au excited harangue calls upon the people to rush upon the structure und tear it to the ground. His sentiments are echoed approv- ingly by @ thousand throats, and a dash is made for the prison; but the determined faces of the guards contuse the mob, and the angry ones recoil from the undertaking. ‘The hour of noon has passed, and one o'clock 18 the time announced forthe execution; but the sherit, Tearing lest his prisoner-may. be. wrenched from lim, and acting under the advice of prominent ens, determined to proceed at once with his horrible task. fhe poor wretch is. led from his ceil for the last time, his arms are tied, the black cap. is placed upon his head, and he is conducted outside. Mounting the dozen steps that intervene be- tween ifm and another world with firm tread, he takes his seat upon the tittle bench near the trap and fixes ius eyes upon the bright bit of sky that can be seen from over the high boards of the pen, He is a strong, well knit man, hardly thivty years of age, With a Weak, exnressionipsa face, just such an one as kmaves would select for a man to frighten into doing @ piece of work which they dere not undertake themselves, His eyes are never removed trom the it of the heavens above him, noteven when the good clergymen com- mends the convert’s soul to the keeping of Him who gave it, The sherif, whose every feature betrays @ disgust and o horror of his terrible duty, asks the pinioped man if he has anything wo say. Pwien his gaze still turmed wo the sunlignt over hip Meyers, In a Mechanical voice says:—"I Afi ready to meet m Creator in the face. I feel eT any Soins 9 6 ter home than this, and that all my sins are 5 I want to say to my iriends that they must prepare to meet me, 1 hope, in heaven. 1 want my name honored among my brethren, sisters and friends. 1 want Brother . Mahon two preach at my grave, and Browher yy to preach my fuueral service at Becks Creek.” Meyers ts then gently placed upon hus feet and led forward to the trap, Where the cap is turned over his THE DEADLY LOOP 4s placed about bis tiroat and in another moment he is standing alone upon the scaffold, The sheritf on the Gy stair of Une [ramework grasps a long lever. “May God have mercy upon my soul,” murmurs a voice from the solitary figure upon the platform, and at just twenty minutes past twelve there is & sharp scraping of heels along the falien drop, the rope becomes suddenly straight with the weight of its human freight, spins around once or twice and all ts quiet, The gpirit of Joseph Meyers ts choked out of its mortal casket ut the end of the hangman's cord, The fearful work has been well done and there is hardly a motion to the body. A few slight twitches of the rapidly whitening frame is all, and it is easily seen tuat the death has been @ painiess one in ten minutes. Drs. Van Dyke and Kellar approach the dangling figure, and, applying the usual tests, annouuce lat the ‘Reart has not ceased to puisate, and retire again. All of this time the crowd without are howling with rage ut being baMed of the sight of the ghastly work, and at last they rush upon the guards, who are forced to move ou one side. Buards are ripped from the pen, and those within the enclosure beat a hurried reireat. The pulse and heart of the peudant man are then examined again, aud Ife being pro- nounced extinct, the body is cut down and wed in the coilin just as the maddened crowd .have ape away portions of the pen and swarm inside, 1, Cochran, the admirable clerk of the circuit court, Js the only mau who can govern the assem- blage in the least, and cven he is only partially suc- cessful in quelling their riotous justincts. They crowd around the cofiiu and jest over the distorted features of its inmate, and, Mocking upoa the scaffold, chop the rope into inch pieces, carrying away the hempen trophy as reminders of Uie occa- sion, while many of them hang around the gallows and amuse themselves for hours in testing the workings of the lever bolt and drop. Thousands pressing around the square outside, clamor defiantly tor @ sight of the corpse, and at last itis shouldered by six stalwart men, who are protected by the armed guards, and carrled up and down the street, to be gazed at by men, Women and little children, The whole scene 1s one of the most revolting that has ever transpired in the criminal history of America, and is a damn- ing disgrace to a civilized country and age. Finally the coilln is taken to the outskirts of the town, lhun- dreds still stringing along behina it, the crowd not quieted untt! the horrid load 1s placed ina wagon and driven rapidly away, to be turned over in the evening to the relatives of the deceased. AN ALLEGED NOTORIOUS PiCKPOCKET. Atalate houron Saturday night Chief of Police Donavan, of Hoboken, detected an individual in the act of preparing to make a descent on a man’s pocket while coming out of a circus. The prisoner gives his name as William H. Watkins and resides in South Third street, Jersey City.

Some of the struce tures are unique tu design, very commodious and prettily or-' namented, The cuterprise which has actuated owners and agents of steamships, both domestic and foreign, in this par ticular, deserves creditable recognition. During the period of hot weather just passed the owners and captains of certain vessels along the North and East riv- ers found it a maiter of extreme difloulty to obtain the neces- sary assistance in unloading and loading thelr cargoes, A class of stevedores would not work, notwithstanding induce- ments of an unusual nature were held out, and instances are referred to where their refusals were of an excessively tmpu- dent character, Several of the firms thus treated have retall« ated in kind since the “cool spell,” teaching these *mdepend- ent" laborers of a week since #lesson they wil not forget for some time to come. ‘Miscellaneous.
