Howell did so, and, witha preelling Ss &@ good advantage, had several in- ws wit 000 for it. ‘The offer was refused, but ¢ liked the house so well she would not break off jegotiations with Howell until she could confer with ‘er husiand. Here the trouble commenced, for she did not return to Howell and make the purchase from lor, who had h ard of the lady through a ird ps who was also a broker, sold the house her for $20,500. Howell claimed his commission, jowever, but Taylor refused to give it to him, and ce this suit. Justice McGuire decided in behalf of Howell, who Was, he said, as much entitled to his commission, m the fact that it was he who first brought the ner and purchaser together, as if the sale had een. effec! tn his office and through nis efforts Rxclusively. It was claimed by the defence that the purchaser had left the office of Howell begotiations, as far as he was concerned in the [eet were broken off, and that it was only another broker they were resumed.

Brutal Outrage and Murder of a Child Seven Years Old. Last Days of the Wretch on Earth. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21, 1871. To-morrow John Hanlon will be hung in the Moy- amensing Prison yard, in this city, for the murder ot Mary Morhmann, a little girl of seven years of age. A Of the many horrible crimes which have from time totime been committed in this city but few have surpassed, in their utter flendishness, the murder of this child. The history of the crime and the circum- stances which led to it can be briefly told, On the merning of the 8th of September, 1868, the dead and mangled body of Mary Mohrmann was found in a pool of water on a vacant lot corner of Fifth and Dia- mond streets. Ata glance it was percelved that she had been murdered ; but 1¢ required a medical ex- amination to ascertain tne fact that the untortunate child had first been outraged by some beast in hu- man shape. Necessarily the excitement throughout the city, and more particularly in the immediate neighbor. hood of the scene of crime, was intense. The au- thorities displayed unwonted energy, numerous de- tectives were put on the track of the flend and no effort spared to unravel the terrible mystery. Finally suspicion fell upon John Hanlon, a young man who kept a barber ahop on Fifth street, a couple of doors trom Diamond, and almost in a direct line with the house of Mrs, Mobrman, the mother of the mur- dered child, who lived on Orkney street. Hanlon’s character was bad. It was known that he possessed a depraved nature and was addicted to the society of children for the most diabolical pur- poses. Accordingly he was arrested, but the police authorities managed the case s0 wretchedly that he was discharged without an examination of his per- son, although Dr, Shapleigh had stated after the post-mortem investigation that whoever had com- mitted the outrage must bear some marks of the frightful deed. Freed from the clutches of the law Hanlon resumed his business ayocations in fan- cled security. It was not long, however, before he got into trouble, One Sunday evening he was Getected by a number of boys near Germantown attempting to outrage a child in an outhouse, The alarm was given, and aftera warm chase he was captured and confined in prison. Singularly enough, the mother of the child was at first unwilling to pro- secute the wretch; but the authorities insisted, and the result was that Hanlon was tried and convicted and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment tn the County Prison. Previous to this he bad, it is said, compromised a similar case for the sum of ten dollars. ; The suspicions which had rested upon Hanlon in the murder of Mary Mohrmann had never been wholly dissipated, and they were revived with fall force on his conviction for attempting to outrage the other chila, The wretch, by the way, when arrested op the last occasion, gave tho name of Charles E. Harris, by which he was also tried and sentenced, Alderman Heins, of this city, who had taken deep interest in the case of Mary Mohrmann, on reading the particulars of the last trial, deter- mined to ascertain if “Harris was not John Hanlon, whom he had always believed to be the murderer. Accordingly, accompanied by detective Taggart, ne visited Mayamensing Prison, and at once identified the prisoner. Morally satisfied that Hanlon was the murderer, the detectives set to work to obtain evidence against him. The assistant superintendent of the prison ‘was applicd to, and he furnished a man named Michael Dunn, who was serving a term for larceny. It was necessary, however, that Dunn should not know what was the purpose in view, as, if he did, his testimony in court would probably be excluded. 'Yhe qdotectives, therefore, conceived and carried into effect an admirable piece of strategy. Detective Smith visited Dunn and asked him cisually, “Mike, what do you think of @ man who would ravish a child and then kill her.” Dunn replied, “He ought to be hung.’? Nothing more was said, but shortly after Hanlon was placed in Dunn’s cell to learn shoemaking. | The two convicts amused themselves by com- paring notes of their respective crimes. and it was not lohg before Hanlen had coniessed the horrible deed, together with numerous other crimes of hardiy less magnitude, and certainly not less beastly. The disclosures were s0 revolting that they disgusted Dunn, who begged to have the wretch taken from his cell. Immediately after Dunn told the story of the crime, and Hanion was arraigned on the charge of murder. The trial com- menced on Monday, October 30. Hanlon was do- fended by able counsel, but the weignt of evidence was so overwhelming that he could not be saved from conviction. One witness (a child) saw Hanlon go off with Mary Mobrmann on the day of the mur- ler, but the testimony which convicted was that of the convict Dunn. To enabie him to testify a pardon Was handed him in court, Objection was made to the admission of his evidence, but the Court over- ruled it, and he was examined. THE STORY OF THE CRIME. The following 1s Dunn's statement as finally ad- mitted by the Court:— Since August, 1868, I have been living in Moyamensing Prison; I did not know Hanion before ne came tn my cell; he came in on the 2th of December, on a Wednesday ; he re" mained until the lat of March, 1870; had conversations with him; first tine he ever mentioned’ to me about Mary Molir- nn was on a haturday, after he came into the cell’; he told that day the detectives auspected him of the murder of Mary Mobrmann; I asked him how old she was, und he sald ther about thirtcen; that was all he said on that day; the next conversation was about the following Thursday or Fri- day; he told me ik WAS THE MAN ES that did it; he told me “on the Sunday the murder was done did not dress myself that day, and at three o'clock in the afternoon I crossed over to Fisher's lager beer saioon ; I left there at half-past seven o'clock in the evening, went over to my own houe and sat down on my own steps; in a few min- utes I got up and went as far as Fifth aud Diamond sti i his from the East.

THE POLICE PUZZLE IN NEWARK, Governor Randolph has signed the repeal of the ‘Newark Police Commission and now the city is vir- ‘tually without a police force. Ever since the pas- Sage of the repeal by beth houses of the Legislature the greatest anxiety has been felt In Newark as to ‘What would likely follow. Mayor Ricord and those ¥epublicans who are not biinded by partisanship are Strongly in favor of an organization that will not be at the beck and nod of politicians, but a few of the Tepublican members of the Common Council, who have troops of political hangers-on to serve and Provide places for, will listen to nothing short of ‘aving the force once more under control of that body.

His wife and sisters callea once ~ day; on yesterday they called twice. It was on Monday afternoon, wille @ HERALD reporter was there, that they called for the first time in the alternoon. His wife first entered the gate, teliowed by his sister. Although the rule has been to allow them ip but once a day, and that in tie morning, the pitifal, beseeching look of the wife and sister coula not be withstood. A glance from the gate- Keeper told them that they might enter. Not a word was spoken, but silently they took their way through the two doors leading to the convict depart. meut and passed up the stairs tu the second floor, where they were met by the keeper, who ac- companied them into the cell and remained during the interview, as, in fact, has always been done ex- cept when the priest or Sistera of Charity nave called on him, Twenty minutes was the time authorized for the interview, at the end of which time the gate- keeper entered the ofiice and informed the Superin- tendent that the twenty minutes had passed, aud asked if he should request Hanion’s relatives to leave the cell. “No,’’ said the Superintendent, “let them have ten minutes more.” Ten minates! What a precious ten minutes they were to the stricken relatives of the condemned! How much there was to be said in that time—how many last requests! When the half hour had elapsed the Noorkeeper sent word to the gate- Keeper that Hanlon wanted to see him. He went up stairs and Hanlon asked for another half hour. 1t could not be granted. ‘The rules were imperative. “Look here,” said Hanlon, in a jaughing manner; “you might just as well. You know it is the last time I'll see them.” The haif hour was not granted, and the wife and sister were lorced to take their leave, TWO SISTERS OF CHARITY, the good angels who are ever present at scenes of this kind to assuage the grief ol relatives and soften the pangs ef death to the condemaed, passed in as the grief-stricken wife and sister passed ont through the corridor. No Keeper entered the cell with them; their conversations with the wretched man were heard by hum only.

The cotton market was steady. TUE EXPORTS OF THE WEEE. The aggregate amount of exports, exclusive of specie, from the port of New York for the week end- ing January 31, 1871, was $2,636,681. MONEY EASIER—FOUR 10 SIX PER CENT. ‘The money market was easter, and the rates on call were four to five per cent on government bonds and five to six per cent on stock collaterals. Com- mercial paper continued tn request at seven to seven and a halt per cent discount for prime double names. Foreign exchange was nominally unchanged at 10934 for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and 1109% for sight bills, but sales out of second hands were made at concessions of one-sixteenth to one-olghth Per Cent upon these rates, Bills were in better sup- My, and one house was drawing quite freely against, it 18 supposed, recent shipments of arms and war munitions to France. GOLD STRONG—111 4 11144; The gold market maintained the recent advance, and at times was strong at 1113, the range of the day’s fluctuations being confined to the Limits of 111 ahd 111%. The London quotation for our bonds ‘Was not received until late in the afternoon, and then showed no cause for stronger gold, the advance in which was based on the firm- ness of the rates for bankers’ exchange and reports that the specie shipment to-morrow will approxi- mate @ million dollars, Again, there was no news from France which had not been already acted upon, 80 that the market was left to the operation of the influences previously enumerated. Late in the day some effort was made to stimulate an upward move- ment, and a leading operator appeared in the Gold Room and toox half a million at 111%, buyer three days; but gold continued to be of fered at tae same figure the remainder of the afternoon, ‘The conviction seems impressing itself upon the speculative mind that gold has lost its charms as a vehicle for rapid fortune-making, and hence we find so lethargic @ market when speculative protexts are afforded in almost every item of news that comes over the cable. When 80 important an event as the outbreak of war between France and Prussia effected only a temporary ad- vance of ten or eleven per cent there 1s considerable scepticism about any very large rise to result from any new complication in Europe. The course of the market is shown in the tavle:— In the gold loan market the rates for carrying ranged from four to six percent. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows: Gold cleared. 1,700,435 GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND BUOYANT. The facility with which money may be borrowed at low rates on government bonds, the higher quotation of gold, making the coupons so much more valuable, and the Treasury programme for February contemplating so large a purchase of tive-twenties, wero combining influences to render the government liat buoyant and give a further stimulus to higher prices. The operation of these influences was unchecked, moreover, by any decline in London, whence five-twenties came steady, while the German bankers were reported to be buying freely for foreign account. It will be noticed that the movement to discount the value of the maturing coupons on the ten-forties, to which attention was directed a week or two since, has advanced the price of those issues about one per cent. The fol- lowing were the closing street prices:—United States currency sixes, 11034 a 11054; do. sixes, 1881, regis- tered, 113% & 113%; do, do., coupon, 113% a 11334; do, five-twenties, registered, May and November, 109% @ 11034; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 1105 110%; do. do., 1864, do. do, 1104 110%; do. do., 1885, do, do., 110 @ 1103; do. do., registered, January and July, 108% @ 109; do. do., 1865, cou- pon, do., 108% a 109:4; do. do., 1867, do. do., 10934 a 109143 do. do., 1868, do. do., 10934 a 109%; do. ten- forties, registered, 109%¢ a 109%; do. do., coupon, 10034 a 10974. THE STOCK MARKET HEAVY. With the exception oftwo instances—Lake Shore and Wabash—the stock market was heavy and lower. In the exceptions referred to a further advance was made and the highest quotations of the season reached. Lake Shore sold at 94%, and Wabash at 6834. The rest of the list was down an average of a quarter to one-half per cent, and heavy to the close. The Union Pacific sureties were again tossed up and down violently, the stock fuctuating between 16% and 19. The revival of the Lawrence resolution in Congress and the prospect that tho cempany will be forced to ussume the payment of the interest on theirshare of the currency sixes, were the reasons given in explanation of these changes. Otherwise the railway market was neglected and dull. The express stocks were ex- ceptionally strong and Ingher. The highest and lowest prices of the leading active shares were as follows:— Highest.

Letters recelved from the officers of the United States frigate Guerriere, twenty-three guns, Captate Thomas H. Stevens, give @ ludicrously dolefas account of the uncomfortabie, if not dangerous, passage of the ship from New York to Lisbon. I seems to have been made in a succession of heavy gales that wied the qualities of the ship to the utmost, After the mishaps and delays experienced by the ship on the coast and in the bay of New York, the joyful cry of “‘Up anchor’ was hauled by oMcers and men with general delight. The ship crossed the baron Saturday, December 17, with @ fair wind and pleasant weather, under steam and sail, Her course was at once shaped for Lisbon. The following day was Sunday, and as the weather Was still time and the sea comparatively smooth, Chaplain =Dorrance hei divine service, Which was generally attended. The ship bowled off ten knots under sail alone; but during the night the wind arose, causing a heavy sea, making it almost impossible fur one to sieep. On Monday, 19th, the wind Increased to a gale from the southwest, and the ship was reduced to foresas and close reefed topsails, In one of the heavy guste the jib was blown to shreds, and by aftersoon, the gale and sea increasing, steam was got up and the ship put wuder fore stortnsaii, main trysail and mize zen stormsatl and hove to with hedd to the sea ‘The ship laborea and rolled fearfully whenever the wind or sea knocked her off into the trough, ‘ye. thing was batiened down, fore aud aft, to guard A@galust the heavy seas which threatened to board her, the only disaster dreaded at tie ume. The slup rolled and wallowed like an old beast, sending the tabie flying, with the wardroom dinner on, and carrying away @ large new lamp, witch mingled ta fragmeuts and oii witi the déocis oF the dime ner on the floor. During the night ai ets of o the Guerrlere te of the Ship ts nding of a Christmas the Brooklyn Navy books, chairs, {urniture, glassware and all serts things got adrift aud made an internal clatter an crashing the whole night long. Ship never seemed to behave worse than did the Gue:rere throughout the storm. The seams of the ship opened so much on the berth deck a3 to make it very uncomfortable for the men, 1 consequence of the quantitics of water failing upon them. On the following morail the gale abuted, but the seas were sulil heavy an threatening, ‘The wire rigging, set up in cold weather, slackened, and the musts began to work m @ fearful manner. Fortunately, nothing waa carried away, and Ube ship rode out the gale and started on her course again In safety. On the 24cm the ship expericuced a second gale, although pot se severe ay the first, before which the Guerriere ram welve to thirteen Knots, rolling heavily, On Christinas Day the Weather was too bad to en- able the officers and men to indulge in tie wadl- tional dinner, and it was postponed until the follow: ing day, When supreme eliorts were wade to get up a dinner worthy of the ship and occasion. The sete crockery and silverware were displayed ou the tahie, the remaming turkeys aud poultry were cooked and atranged with garlands, and the feast promised to be a great success. all the oiicers were present, the Capiain was @ distinguished guest nd everything went as merry as a warriage bell untuil a heavy iurcn of the ship occurred, and the table emptied its precious burden upon the ward- room floor, utterly crushing and mingling in a con- fused mass crockery, yiands, Wine and glassea against the port bulkhead. It was a sorowlul end- ing of the feast, and nothing was left but to clear away the debris and count Ule cost, Wich Was sert. ous, a3 nearly all the crockery and tabie furniture were destroyed. Capiala Steveus guve @ little entertainmeint in his cain on the following day to the oMicers of the ship, and sweet hearis and wives and the sentiments of the season drank in claret. Alter an eightern day passage the Guerriere arrived saiely in the harbor of Lisbon, where the frigate Brooklyn, ninete.n guns, Captain John Guest, was found undemoing repairs, ‘The Guerrtere and Brooklyn, when ‘icy have made good needed repairs, will sail tuto tke Mediterranean for a cruise until falrer weather, when they are to pro- ceed to the English Channel, Norsi Sea and Baltic, It is rumored that the guuoat Shawmut, five guns, which is to be made ready for sea by the 10th ins:., Rin relieve a ow yap Pre owen ee uns, Lieutenant Commander (eo! 5 ship of Port Admiral Stringtam, which 18 to oe ordered to the Brazil squadron Thedivers at work on the bottom of the frigate Callfornia are greatly delayed by the ice, whick ob- scures their vision.
