THE DINNER AT IRVING HALL. A little after two o'clock the head of the column reached Irving HaiJ, and by hail-past two all the muskets had been stacked in the streetand the men, by companies, marched into the dining room. Four tables, which extended from one end of the hall to the other, were reserved for the men, and two jables, running aioug the full length of the stage, at bhe head of the other tables, for the invited guests. Nearly all the local politicians ef note were present, Jadge Shandiey bene flanked on the left by General William M. Tweed, Jr. Sheriff O’Brien also Deeupled a seat at the same tanie.

The “gemmen” ran in as out of the room as though their lives depended pon their feetness of fect in coming and going.

One attempt, however, by a cer- tain table to capture a luscious turkey intended for another table came to direst grief, One of the walters endeavored to. take it from one end of the roem to the other, where a table had ordered it, but, of course in the most ac- cldental sort of way, he stumbied against a legion- er’s boot, and he and tne turkey fell to the Noor in a heap. Inthe twinkling of an eye the turkey was heisted to a table near by, but another table took a Tauge fancy to it at the same time, and went for it io gallant style. ‘’ne struggle for the possession of the fowl was langhable im the extreme, and before \t ended three or four of the “sojers’! had TUMBLED UNDER THE TABLE. ‘When the appetizing contest closed it was dis- d that the fates had decided fairly between two opposing parties; for ‘each, in {tg desperation to conquer, had torn it’ into About as near two halves as a stuffed turgey can be divided without the aid of a knife.

The devotees of the Indian game of La Crosse had & gala time yesterday afternoon on the Paterson Race Course. The Knickerbocker and Manhattan Clubs, of New York; the Prescott Club, of Brooklyn, and the Paterson Club were on the grounds in full force, together with delegations from other organt- zations, Before the commencement of the game proper there was a quarter-mile foot race between members of the Kniekerbocker and Prescott Clubs.

In addition to the chim- pionship, a handsome gold ball was presented as a prize to the winning club. The Knickerbockera then played a game with the Manhattan Club and one with the Paterson Club, after which the party returned to the city. In the evening the Paterson Club entertained their guests ‘with a grand dinner at the Franklin House. Most of the members of the Knic ocker Club atthe close of the game embarked on the nine o'clock train for New York, and while en route a man named Keegan, who was alightly intoxicated, fell between the platforms of the cars and was run over.

VAGARIES OF JERSEY JUSTICE. Hew to Killa Man and Escape th nses quencer=The Union Hill Murder in a New Phase—Mullen Convicted ef Highway Rob- ‘bery. . ‘Night had just fallen on the Fourth of July last when two men, named Mullen and Reynolds, were quietly weading their way from the house of Mul- jens brother, in Unton Hill, about three miles from Hoboken, to their home in Mulberry street, New York, On their way they were confronted by a man named Hermann Eppenger, whose face was cov- ered with blood and who was in a state of ab- solute fury. Before any explanatien vould be haa Eppenger plunged a knife into Rey- nolds, who thereupon fell te tne ground, and soon after breathed his last. Mullen was so terror stricken that heran off some distance, but soon returned to his companion only to find him a corpse. An inquest was held by Goroner Crane, of Hoboken, and many of the readers of the HEKALD will recollecs the scenes of violence and intimidation ipvenger’s defence and robbed by three men, from the ground he ran off in search of the thieves, and Reynolds, whom he met, as stated, about three hundred ges from the spot where the robbery took place, felt the full weight of the ved man’s vengeance.

At the inquest Eppenger was told to look around and see if he could recognize any of the speciaters asone of the parties wuo rebbed him. Bppenger looked around and pointed to a man in the corner, who was soon proved to be quite innocent of the , and ieft Mullen unneticed, though tue tatter Was standing near him.

Ge Eppenger to the County on the cbarge ef murder. Now comes the part of the histery of this case which has given rise to criticism, if not vo. censure, in every part of Hudson county. The Grand Jury met and examined Kypenger, but did not ask for Bartley Mulien’s statement, though he was the wit- ness of the deed. No biliof tadictment was found and Eppenger was discharged. This was curious enough—to use a mild term—but there is something more curtous to follow. Mullen was indicted for highway robbery, in sre vo brand the deceased ag a thief, who was justly Cut off In the perpetration of his crime, Muilen was placed on trial, and wag defended by ex-Senator Wintleld, who adininistered ascathing rebuke to the Grand Jury for their attempt to boister up an unjustiab!e murder by the iudict- meat of @ peaceful, unotiending man. ‘The jury could not agree and they were discharged, The second trial came off on Weanesday, and tne case was given tothe jury at twenty minutes past three o’cluck, but up to nine o’clock the saine night there was not the slightest chance of an agreement.

The general opinion is that the jury will have to be discharged this time also without agreeing to a verdict, in which case i is probable that District ttorney Garrettson and Mr. Hoffman, who c uct the prosecution, will cousent to the discharge of Mullen, The jury rematned out all night, and it was oniy afver a session of eighteen hours that they came into court and handed w the clerk 4 verdict o1 guuty.
