Conroy had fled from Cold Spring immediately after the murder, and did not show fimself inthe placeagain untli Saturday, On Sunday the officers found him in a Cold Spring liquor saloon, where he was surrounded by his friends, When the arrest was made his chums threatened a rescue; but the officers, with revolvers drawn, marchea thelr man through we midst of tiem and got him safely into 4 carriage which Sherif Butler, of Putnam county, had in readi- ness. Befure the carriage had leit the place anovher threat was made by the friends of Conroy that tiey would “ay out” the oifcers and release the prisoner; but the firmness of the policemen prevailed, and the crowd, seeing that they “meact business,” allowed thein to proceed on their way witnout further attempts at molostation. conroy was taken to Newburg, after a preliminary examination before Recorder Shater the prisoner was committed to the county jatl at Newburg to await a further examination.

She set forth that for several years past her husband, during bis drunken orgics, was in the habit of beating her most brutally, knocking her down, kicking her and in many otter ‘ways maitreating her, unul she found It absolutciy impossibie to bear with him any longer. ‘two years ago he had kicked her, she said, until she was rup- tured, and since then he has, times without number, Tepeated his orutal treatment. Yesterday, she further stated, after abusing and beating her in his characteristic manner, he undertook to sell out her little stock of furniture to one Eli Siate, an ale house keeper. Police Surgeon Halwht, being at hand, was called in by the Justice, and on nation he found the poor woman’s story true as regards the evidence of the beatings she had received on her person, She said that when Mackie was sober he was as good a husband as ever walkea, but when in liquor was a perfect devil incarnate. Her case, together with her broad Scotch accent, excited vie interest of a entieman present who resided for several years in Sinsgow, and to him Mrs. Maekie stated that her sister was Mrs. Daiglish, wife of the member of Parliament for Glasgow, and one of the wealthiest manufacturers of that city. A warrant was at once issued for the arrest of her husband, who was found ina state of intoxication commonly termed ‘‘bilnd drunk,” by ofticer Williams. While making the arrest the ale-house keeper, Slate, undertook to tterfere, and squared of to attack the officer, but the jatier was prompt with the use of his locust, and Not Oniy carted off to the station, in a wagon, the man Mackie, but Slate too. Both were lodged in the cily preon, A charge of interiering was made by the oficer against Slate.

Atlantica vs. Unions, ef Morrisania=The For- mer Victorious by a Score of 24 to 21. Yesterday afternoon the above-named clubs played @ game on the Capitoline grounds, and whule tt can- not be called a regular mufiin game, it was, never- theless, anything but a first class one. The cham- pions evidently underrated their opponents, for in the beginning they sent Pearce behind the bat and put Ferguson at short stop. Zettleia, too, seemed to tink there was no occasion for exer- tion on his part, as he put the balls in at @ very slow and easy pace, and the consequence was the “boys with the check. ered hose” batied him right and left, and in the third inning rau up a score of thirteen, and dis- posed ofthe Atlantics for a round 0. After this Smith went to ‘picking up the ball,” and “litte Richard” took his old position, Ferguson going to third, Things now moved along about as usual, the Union boys sttil maintaining their ead; but boon their opponents began to see thai if they wanted to win the game they must play for it, so they c! ed oF positions again, each man taking his regular piace, and it became evident at once that the game betonged to the Brooklyn lads, The playing, as stated above, was nothit to boast of on etther side. The Unious were without thelr reguiar catcher (Birdsal), but nis position was very well filled by ‘Maliy’ Moore, a red-headed youth with crane-like iegs. Considering that this ig the first time he had caught in a match for a lon tame he did very weil, indeed, and it is questionable if Higham did not commit a blunder when he sent him to second base and undertook to fil his place himself. His play at second, where he captared several of the Atlantic boys, was excellent, while ro batting compared favorably with that of any of the nine. ‘The following is the score:— ATLANTICA. UNIONS.

This vessel was formerly in the government service under the name of the Penguio. Shé is 613 tons register, and is looked upon. as @ fast and eato seaboat. She m now lying at Greenpoint, between Noble and Madison strects, with ® considerable cargo on board, consisting of fixed ammunition, mfes of the Springfela, Spencer, Sharp and Berdan patterns, a large num- ber of revolvers and two Gatling or mitrailleur guns. The latter are of a formidable character and of recent construction, Gatling guns will make them show a slim front in less than no time, The Plorida with her twenty pound tt gun and boat howitzer could render @ very good account of any onc of those gunboats which sailed out of this harbor some time ago ior Spanish service m= Ouban waters. Her superior woight and strength, aside from her trusty Parrott. gun, would make her a formidable antagonist for any oneof them. The suggestion that the Florida might be carrying Chey ‘to Prussia is of conrse absurd. If she be not taking her cargo where her owner says she is, then she can be designed for the assist- ance ofgine Cubans. Her owner, General Darr, de- clares that all of this belligerent material 1s 1n- tended for the Mexican government, and not for the Cubans, as Marshal Sharpe was so prompt to infer. He says the destination of the Florida is Vera Ornz and disclaims all intention of violating the neutrality laws. Of course if General Darr gives + security that the vessel shall not proceed to Cuban waters she will be released and there 13 an end of it, But shoula she by some accident drift into one of the harbors on the southwestern coast of Guba and ner cargo become the property of the patriot army the Spanish soldiers may expect a peppering from these terrible guns.

Campbell py the democrats of the Thira district of Ohio, against General Schenck, must be Tegarded as favorable to the republicans, Mr, Campbell was the standing whig candidate for Con- gress in the district years ago—when !t was not | constituted as now—and used to be regularly beaten by John B, Weller, the most successful rabble rouscr perhaps that America has ever produced. In those contests Mr. Campbell was a whig of free soli ten- agencies, This is @ straw that will probably nos break that Campbell’s back, Says the Boston, Express:—‘Wendell Phillips won't stand agalnst George B. Loring. ‘Tne former loves his $200 a nightiecture money too well, and bypo- critical Loring will get punished at the polls worse than he punishes his branay bottle adozen times @ day.” The Hepress probabty talks a little too fast, Dr. Loring 1 an estimable gentleman in private life, aud what he don’t kuow about farming 1s not worth knowing. If the democrats nominate a good and popular man for Governor they may whip both Wendell Phillips and Dr. Loring “out of their boots.” But where is Governor Clafiin all this time? ‘The Hornellsville (N. Y.) Tribune states that Ham- Uton Ward, member of Congress from the Elmira istrict, is now perambulating every nook and cor- ner of Steuben county, urging upon the faithful the necessity of heing returned to Congress. His prin- cipal opponent in the republican party is Henry Sherwood, Where 1s ex-Governor Randall aud the democratic nomination from this district? ‘The Paducah (Ky.) Kentuckian nominates John Q. A. King for Governor. The idea that any one bear- ing the name ot John Quincy Adams should become Governor of Kentucky is certainly rather novel, John D, Brandon, of Auntsville, is recommended, In the Montgomery Advertiser, for the office of Attor- ney General of Alabama on the democratic ticket. ‘The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal says:—Dr. Wal- drop,’ democratic representative of Washington county in the last House, was recently assassinated, Some person concealed shot him, A committee of private gentlemen, his friends, investigated the case, but were unable to obtain any clue to the de- tection of the murderer, Where are the judictal authorities of Alabama? What has a “committee of private gentiemen” to do with a clear case of assas- sination unless it is to execute Lynch law? When Congress adjourned General Schenck went Dome and caused the statement to be published fur and wide that he would not be a candidate tor re- election. I'he reason given for this course was that he was too poor and could not afford it. Five thou- sand dollars Was not enough to support him at the national capital. He wanted an opportunity to make mbre money for his support. ‘The Harrisburg Patriot suggests that it may be that Schenck’s poverty is merely assumed, that his loud boasts of public virtue are only asham. ‘My dear chiidren,” pathetically exclaimed an ancient rat, “I am about to throw off the cares of public duty and return to private lite, J find that my poverty wiil not permit me longer to maintain the expense of official station. Be virtuous and you wi be happy.’? Wiping his eyes with his ancient tail the venerable rat retired irom the presence of his family, wuo were much affected at the parting. But one of them, more curious than the rest, sought out the retreat of the cunning old rat, and found that he had buried him- self in a great Ohio cheese. It appears that Schenck’s ruse has had the desired effect. ARMY INTELLIGENCE.

About eighty complaints against policemen were heard yesterday by Commissioners Brennan and Bosworth, nearly all of which were dismissed, with reprimands, as the evidence showed that they were not well taken, Some ugly revelations were made on the trial of Grand Ronndsman Campbell for intoxication. The evidence of Sergeant Minor was to the effect that at six o’clock on the evening of the 18th Campbell drove up to the front door of the Central Ofice ina hack, got out, staggered up the steps and endeay- ored to get into the Fire Marshal's Oitice to answer Toll call, instead of proceeding to the rooms of the squad at the other end of the ae He chaperoned him to the office of the squad when hi ‘Was sober enough to answer roll call, and he chen got into the hack and left.

He denies being in- toxicated, gampball isan excellent officer, but in the face of the evideno: the Board will hardly re- tain him on the squad.

Ware for the Murder of His Father—Confession of the Parricide. {From the Trenton State Gazette, Aagust 22.) Jonn O. Ware has been finally commitied to an~ swer the charge of murdering Tather near Ber- lun, formerly Longacoming, in New Jerséy, as stated in the Gazeite a few days ago. ‘The tollow- ing 1s an interesting narrative of the facts as.devel- oped by the legal authorities and partly bythe con- fession of the prisoner:— Atanearly hour on Wednesday mo! officer’ ane of Camden, while standing on Federal street, observed a person walking at @ pretty fast rate down. that thoroughfure toward the ferry. “The officer fol~ lowed, and presently met with several persona, and. engaged in conversation with them about the recent. robberies of watermelons, tomatoes, &c. During this conversation the prisoner stood by, apparently listening very attentively to it. In ® short time he asked the ofticer what time the next New York train, started. He was told. The officer asked nim hig name, to which the stranger replied, John Lippin, or Liman; that he had come from Cross Keys and was on his way to New York. ‘a I think [ll take you in custody,” said the cer. “What for?’ replied the young man. ‘I didn’t. steal any of the tomatoes,’ “Pll arrest you on suspicion; 60 come along,’ replied: the officer. The prisoner was taken to the lockup, where he was placed in the custody of officer Mason. Officer Ayers suspected tire prisoner to ne the mam. who had committed the at Berlin, and went. o in search of some one to identify him. During bis. absence the arrested individual made a confession of the murder to officer Mason. The omficer asked him why he committed it, to- which the, prisover replied, ‘The old man drew s. knife on mé and I shot and would do it. again.'* Officer Ayers returned to the lockup, and tire rev- elation made known to him the er was: searched. He said bis name was Jonn 0. Ware.
