LONDON GOSSIP. ‘The Prince of Wales Crow- ing Popular. ROYALTY IN VICTORIA PARK. The Sovereign’s Reception by the Ple- beians of the East End. DECLINE OF THE LIBERAL ADMINISTRATION British Sentiment on the Loss of the Atlan- tie—Literary, Art and Theatrical Notes by a Herald Correspond- ent on the Way to Vienna. Lonpon, April 5, 1873. From the present aspect of London you would Bay that the season was at its height. Only a few years ago it was not considered correct to be seen in town until after Easter; but we have changed ali that, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, by ‘Whose movements society regulates itself, are too glad to recommence their round of dinners, bulls, theatres and other metropolitan delights, Al- though the Prince takes his share of hunting and shooting he is not a sportsman au sond, and as he does not hanker after such matters, his frequent @ppearance in the hunting field on the moor or in the coverts must be regarded as conciliatory sacri- fices to English popular tastes. There is no doubt that the Prince pays much more attention to the cultivation of his reputation among his future sub- Jects than he used to beiore his illness, and he yeaps his reward in a vastly extended popularity. I notice this in the great difference of his recep- tion by the people in the street or at the theatre. From the time of THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE CASE SCANDAL until he was prostrated at Sandringham gearcely a hat or a voice was raised to greet or cheer him; now he is welcomed with all the old enthusiasm. Apropos of this question of Jeyalty a funny story is peing told. At the dinner given by the Lord Mayor to the Oxford and Cam- bridge crews, alter the boat race, the stroke of the Cambridge boat, in returning thanks, is reported by the newspapers to have been inaudible, But the real fact is that his words were only too plainly heard. After a few commonplaces he said that he , desired to express the great pleasure which he and his fellows felt at the fact that the race was honored by she presence of one whom they all liked—“he / meant the Prince of Wales, ‘The Coming K—.’” ‘This allusion fell like a bombshell among the audi- ence, for “The Coming K——”’ is the title of a poem, in which the Prince, his associates and his supposed tastes are so vehemently satirized that its publica- had been suppressed, The remark was received With dead silence, and the young man sat down, feeling sorry that he had spoken. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO VICTORIA PARK. | Few Americans, however well acquainted with London, know anything about Victoria Park, the Spot to which the Queen paid a flying visit on Wed- nesday morning. It is far away at the East End, beyond Shoreditch and Bethnal Green, and is the one attempt at rurality, the sole place where the fresh turf grows and thegreen trees wave and the timpia water trickles for the free enjoyment of the poor laboring classes of the East End of London, the Spitalfields weavers, the struggling population | of Hackney and Shoreditch. The visit was a de- cided success. Some disappointment has since been expressed at the rapid rate at which the 0] Queen travelled, which 1s ascribed by some to pre- ~ Vision on the part of the police authorities, who ‘Were uncertain of the temper of the people. If this beso, ne mistake could nave been greater. The ‘ oMiciais present declare that the reception of the Queen was in every way hearty and enthusiastic, and that the welcome accorded to her by the com- mon people of the East contrasted very favorably ‘with that which she isin the habit of getting from #, the fashionables of the West End. CABINET INFELICITIES, There seems to be a general feeling of sorrow among politicians that the recent crisis did not re- sult in the expulsion from office of the present | Ministry, not that there is any great feeling about ) replacing them by any particular set, the one point on which all men are agreed being that the length of time during which the members of the present government have been in power has made hem irritable and despotic and rendered it most desirable that the cards should be shuffled. Mr. Gladstene seems to me very much changed in ap- | pearance since last session. His cheeks were always hollow, and he never had much color, but his complexion is now of a dull, ashy gray, his face "is very wan, his eye has lost its fire, and, instead of that angry, irritable manner which he always * showed in debate, and which gave him so much THE APPEARANCE OF A SAVAGE HAWK, ne seems spiritless and depressed. It is rumored “that the worst thorn in Mr. Gladstone's side is Mr. _ Lowe, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Lowe's | natural bad temper, want of courtesy and great delight in exercising his sharp powers of “enubbing” have given great offence to the heads of various government departments, and in one or two instances there has been almost an ‘open outbreak against Mr. Lowe’s decisions and the manner in which they were conveyed. In de- fault of any other victim a certain portion of the press and the Parliament have been trying to in- Btigate the public against Mr. Scudamore, the originator of the government telegraphs, on the | ground that he has spent unauthorized sums on the extension of his projects. Mr. Scudamore, how- ever, is far too clever a man not to be provided |, with a sufficient answer, and the public will find in fethe trial for perjury of the Tichborne claimant, Which comes on in @ few days, a far mere legiti- | mate object for their excitement, 7 PROSPECTS OF THE VIBNNA PAIR. The interest apout the Vienna Exhibition seems to be as great here as it is in New York, and you | meet scarcely any one who is not going there at some time while it lasts. The Prince of Wales has imade up a party te attend the opening. From ail iI have learned the American portion of the show, fPthough somewhat late in its arrival, will be more extensive and more interesting than was originally supposed. Dr. Ruppaner ‘one of the American Commissioners speaks very | well of the prospects of the United States ex- hibitors. The Doctor, who has been staying for the last week at the Langham—that house which is such a very bad imitation of an American hotel— 4s making his way via the Tyrol to his post. Gen- Tal Van Buren, the chief United States Commis- sioner, leaves London to-night and gocs through lirect to Vienna. BXCITEMENT OVER THE ATLANTIC WRECK. The loss of the Atlantic has created more ex- icitement here than any other shipwreck in my re- membrance. There is no doubt that the size and ed of the vessels belonging tothe White Star line, their luxurious fittings and appointments, d won over vast numbers of persons, who for years had been stannch adherents of other com- panies, There were some, howéver, who felt that jconfidence in the officers was more desirable than comfort in the staterooms, and that no ameunt of piano and electric bells could make up for want of xpericnce or lack of discipline. At this time of the year the America bound ships nvey but few saloon passengers, and though pf course, the loss of every human life makes its ‘owful mark in its own immediate circie, and, ough the death of every OUR IRISH OR GERMAN EMIGRANT BREAD-WINNER Js as disastrous to those he leaves behind as thougt he were ina higher station, the death-roli of the tlantic contains but few well-known names, One uch, however, Is to be found there, that of Mr. Cyrus M. Fisher, 40 AMerican gentleman who, for eral years, has been practising as @ lawyer in indy, and who Was bighly catcemed, not merely by hisown conntrymen (he acted asa kind of extra oficial legal adviser of the United Stateg Legation), but by many Englishmen with whom he had be- come intimate, JOURNALISTS, ARTISTS AND ACTORS. In literary circles there is not much stirring. The Examiner, a weekly journal once edited by Leigh Hunt and subsequently by Albany Fonblanque and John Forster, but which has bit by bit lost its tone, is endeavoring to recover its literary status, and 1s the organ cnosen by Mr. Swinburne for the publica- tion from week to week of a series of new sonnets by him. Mr. Mowbray Morris, the manager of the Times, has returned to work after a long absence, owing to serious illness, which he has passed in Italy. Mr. George Augustus Sala has been for the last ten weeks confined to his bea by asevere attack of acute erysipelas extending from the watst to the feet, which at one time looked very serious. It is hoped, however, that the danger is now passed, and the patient has been removed to the seaside at Hastings, in a state of com- parative convalescence, MR, WILKIR COLLINS has at last decided on visiting America next year in a public capacity and giving readings from some of his works, He has concluded an engagement to this effect, IN THE REALMS OF ART there is @ lull, professors beginning to rest after their labors, for this is the week during Which works intended for exhibition at the Royal Academy have to be submitted for con- sideration, and Sunday last was what is known among the initiated as “picture Sunday,” when every artist keeps open house and all his acquaint- ances drop in to see what he proposes to send to the academy. These brethren of the brush no longer live in high attics in dingy quarters of tne town, such as Thackeray loved to depict. Thanks to the mania for picture collections which has of late years been rife among rich Manchester mag- nates and cotton Jords, not merely our lead- ing arvists, but men of average capacity realize such prices for their work as enable them to live in comfurt. In the suburbs of the great city they mostly congregate, Kensington and Brompton, St. John's Wood and Hampstead being greatly affected by them. In the roads thereabout, drawn up be- fore pretty villas, each recognizable at once by its annexe of studio, with its huge “north light? window, a8 AN ARTIST'S RESIDENCE, may, during the past week, have been seen vehicles of all descriptions, from the dowager-peeress’ heavy swinging chariot to the actress’ light coupé, with its sky-terrier dog lolling out of the window, The owners of these vehicles were inside the houses inspecting the pictures about to be sub- mitted to the consideration of the council of the Royal Academy. As to the composition of that council, and of the manner in which its decisions are given, I purpose to write in a future letter. MATTERS DRAMATIC ARE DULL also, for is it not the season of Lent, and during that period are we not by act of Parliament and various other obligations forbidden to be amused ? Ihave, however, come in time to see two plays, the fame of which had reached me on the other side of the water. One of these is ‘Charles the First,” at the Lyceum Theatre, wherein the principal character is rendered by Mr. Irving, with a depth and delicacy of tenderness and asubtle appreciation of the more refined attributes of the character such as are sel- dom seen, I was also very much struck by the forcible and perfectly quiet and natural acting of Miss Isabella Bateman as the Queen. 1 had heard it said that in one of her great parts the late Miss O'Neil used to shed real, scalding tears. This feat Isaw performed by Miss Bateman, with the result of infection, hankerchiefs being freely used in every part of the house, The other play which I saw was “Man and Wife,” a dramatic version of Mr. Wilkie Collins’ novel of that name. It is but a poor piece— askeleton of the original story, with but littie in- terest, and not hanging closely together. But it is acted & merveille—there is not a small part, even of a few lines, which is not played by some artist o¢ position. When I have spoken of this company (the Prince of Wales’ Theatre company) in New York 1 have been told that most of their plays have been acted at Wallack’s and elsewhere, and, it has been added, far better than as originally played. I should like the New Yorkers to see “Man and Wife” with its present cast. So far as I saw, witn all their good individual acting, they have no com- any to match it in their city. ad 5 EDMUND YATES, NEW YORK CITY. The Comptroller received yesterday from taxes, Croton rgnt, assessments for street openings and arrears the sum total of $13,369. Josephine King, a vagrant, was thrown violently to the ground vesterday by Oliver E. Pipper, of 157 East Fiitieth street, and severely injured internally, On account of the fire yesterday at 51 Chambers street the business of the Vienna vommission will be transacted fora few days at the rooms of the American Geographical Society, Cooper Institute. Alecture will be delivered in Yorkville Hall, in East Eighty-sixth street, this evening, by Mr. Ste- phen J. Meany, on “The Poets and Poetry of Ire. land.” The object of the lecture is to aid a party of young gentlemen of Yorkville in purchasing a boat for a boat club which has recently been started there. Mr. Frank Baker, formerly a well known and successful broker on 'Change, who possessed plenty of capital and was employed in heavy specu. lations, and a “member of the Board,” was found dead in his bed yesterday morning. He nad pre- viously at intervals been subject to apoplectic strokes. He left a fortune of $300,000, The Challenger was to sail from Bermuda for Sandy Hook on the 20th April, in order to sound two section lines between the Bermudas and the American Continent.

At half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon an Irishman named John McDermott met with a se- rious accident on board the ship City of Merida, lying at pier No, 3 North River. He fell from the main deck threugh the hole, a depth of thirty-five Jeet. He was so seriously injured that the doctor thought his recovery impossible.

Where the Gilbert Elevated Railroad is to be Located—What is Proposed to be Done With the Stock of the Third Avenue Railroad—The Proposed Plan Certain of Accomplishment. Yesterday the proposals for the purchase of the Third Avenue Railroad by the New York, Boston and Baltimore Rai!read Company, on behalf of the Gilbert Elevated Railway, were pushed forward considerably, Itis now known that two-thirds of the stockholders of the Third Avenue Railroad have agreed to sell at $165 per share. It is believed by all concerned, not only stockholders of the road, but property owners, that it will be a great advantage to the Third Avenue road to make this saie. Far seeing men have this fact very clearly before them, that somebody will be certain to build THE ELEVATED ROAD, and the Third Avenue stockholders think it would be better in their hands than in those of other peo- ple, It will not interfere with the running of the cars on the present road, as the cars on the elevated road will only stop at every ten blocks, Inde- pendent of the way-trafiic, as it may be called, it is expected that a large number of passengers will take the horse-cars for the purpose of overtaking the cars on the elevated road at the next depot. THE VALUATION OF THE THIRD AVENUE ROAD is reckoned at about five and a quarter millions. At present the proposal 1s only under considera- tion, but great progress towards an ultimate de- termination has been effected during the last few days, and it is almost certain that the stock- holders of the Third Avenue road will be unani- mous when the question is submitted, which it will be shortly, for their final judgment. LEGISLATIVE POWERS are obtained for this transfer in chapter 885 of the Laws of 1872, in the foYowing clause :— created shall possess es, and be subject to all h act to authorize formation of railroad corporations and to regula same,’ passed April 2, 1860, and the several acts amenda- tory thereof, except as far as the provisions of the said act are moditied by or are inconsistent with the provis- fons of this act; and the said corporation is hereby au- thorized and empowered to make, construct and inain- tain an clevated railway, to be operated by the plan known as “Glibert’s Improved Elevated Railway,” over, through and along streets, avenues, thoroughfares an places in and of the said city of New York, and to con- struct, maintain and operate the said tubular ways and railways by atmospheric power, compressed air or other power, together with the necessary, sidings, stations, switches, turnouts, plattorms, stairways, elevators, air reservoirs and connecting tubes for the transmission of power, telegraph and signal devices, and all other ap- Dliances requisite to convey passengers, mails and. mer- chandise, as contemplated in this act, and in the said system of railways over the streets, roads, squares and avenues herein mentioned, The said corporation may make the necessary depots along the route, with the necessary switches, turnouts, conveyances, connections and openings for the proper working and operation of the said railway; and the said streets, avenues, thor- oughfares and piaces over, through and along which the said elevated railway may be so constructed, estab- lished, maintained and operated shall be ascertained, designated and established by a Board of Commi sioners, who shall designate and establish the same, and in Such manner as shall, in their judgment, be con: venient and necessury for such projéct, and with the convenience to those who occupy premises ad- Jacent and upon the said streets, thoroughta places in, through and along which the said ¢ Tailway Inay he so established and maintait Henry G, Siebbins, Major General Quincy A. Shepherd Knapp, Chester A. Arthur and Gen A. Dix are hereby appointed such Board of Commis- stoners for and unto such purpose, with power and au- thority fo n majority of them to act with full, equal eftect as said Board, and their report thereupon shall be fully operative and final when made and delivered to the said Gilbert Elevated Railway Company tor its action, But the said Commission shall not. designate and establish, as or for the locality and line of said. rail. way, any or either of the streets, avenues, thoroughfares or biaces lying or situate between the easterly line of the ‘Third avenue and the easterly line of the Sixth avenue, nor through or over any of the public parks in the said city of New York. The last section of this clause enables the Third avenue road te locate the Gilbert Elevated road on their line. The work of the latter road is steadily rogressing, all the material being daily acoumu- ated, and when the powers from the Third Avenue road are obtained, in a few months afterwards work will commence, and the Elevated road will be an accomplished fact, and the difficulty of rapid transit up town will speedily be a thing of the past. A BAILIFF AFTER BERGH. A Bench Warrant Issued for the Hu- manitarian—Bail Fixed at $1,000— Bergh To Be Arrested To-Day. Could the noble horse and other dumb creatures whose god is Henry Bergh read nonpariel the HERALD this morning would carry to each and every one of them tidings of grief unutterable. It is simply the danger that threatens their great protector, advecate and friend. Could they com- prehend the fact that before his breakfast has been comfortably digested a blonde bailiff, in the person of Order of Arrest Clerk Judson Jarvis, will be knocking at the domicile of Bergh to ruthlessly tear him away from his kindly offices, every horse in the metropolis would sally to the rescue and kick the brains out of the daring Sheriff who weuld_ put unholy hands upon their patron, Saint Bergh. Yes, such is the fact. Saint Bergh is to be thus ruthlessly called before the Sheri bar to give bail or go to the county jail to keep George Francis Train’s company. Yesterday C. F. Wetmore, coun- sel for plaintiff, filed papers in the Court of Com- mon Pleas, charging Bergh with FALSELY ARRESTING AND IMPRISONIXG Denis Christie, driver of a Broadway and Twenty- third street stage. The complaint charged that on the 7th instant, while the plaimtif was leisurely driving up Broadway, Bergh arrested him, turned him over to an officer, who took him before Judge Cox; that he was locked up nineteen hours, and finally released on bailof $500; that on being tried in the Special Sessions he was acquitted, but after spending $150, and for this hesues Bergh for $5,000, Upon the filing of the papers Judge Shea issued A BENCH WARRANT, which was placed in Jarvis’ hands, the bail being fixed at $1,000. This morning Jarvia will appear in his Dundreary whiskers before Saint Bergh and politely request him to step down to the new Court House and put his autograph to a bail bond that he will not go where the woodbine twineth and leave the poor horse too long to mourn the absence of his loved one. In default of performing this little ceremony Saint Bergh will go to Ludiow Street Jail, where he will have an opportunity of studying the cruelty pascil as by Warden Tracy upon the spiders and bugs of Tracy’s Hotel, THE CENTRE MARKET ARMORY, paeeawon earner The Little Divvies of the Architect, and Other “Poor Workmen”—Imitating Tammany Extravagance.

Preparations for the Execution of the Italian ‘Wife Murderer at Morristown, N. J.— Remavitable Coolness and Unccn- cern of the Prisoner. Morristown, N. J., April 22, 1873. On the Ist of May the last penalty of the law is to be meted out at this place to Luigi Lusignani, the Italian wife murderer, The case is one of pecullar interest from the fact that this will ve the first Italian ever executed in this county, and that the crime, like most Italian crimes, had its origm in jealousy. Little more than two years ago Lusig- nani was a@ happy peasant boy in his own sunny Jand, but allured by the reports which came from reiations and friends of the opulence that his coun- trymen were enjoying 1n the United States, he left his home and friends and came to this country. When he landed the visions of weulth which he had indulged in were rudely dispelled, and after a few weeks spent in idleness he was forced to join the banditti of the street sweeping department in New York, and became a scavenger, He took up his abode in the chosen haunt of Italia’s sons, Bax- ter street, and while here HE MET 18 FATE in the person of a swarthy, dark-haired !tatian girl named Johanna Moosi, Luigi’s heart was young and susceptibie; he !oved Johanna, and in a short time, anhappily for Luigi, the couple were married by an Italian priest in Hovoken, and they went to live together at 18 Baxter street, For a short time the couple lived happily, but not long had elapsed before Johanna commenced to develop qualities which were not atall agreeable to her husband. She was some- What addicted to the use of beer, and was rather fond of frequenting the Italian wine shops of the Sixth ward, From this she took to going into the society of strange men, and Luigi very naturally remonstrated against such breaches of matrimo- nial faith, But Johanna would not be remonstrated with and persisted in her unwise course. Frequent quarrels were the result, which sometimes ter- minated in blows, Luigi generally coming out sec- ond best, In order if possible to RECLAIM HIS WIFE Luigi determined to change his place of residence; but Johanna refused to leave Baxter street, and her husband had recourse to a rase which was the cause of a final separation. He took apartments in the upper part of the city, and, unknown to Jo- hanna, had her effects removed there. When the Woman discevered this she was furious, and de- manded her effects back. Luigi entreated her to come to him and live in peace, but she would not, and he refused to deliver up her clothes. A few days aiter this occurrence Johanna suddenly disap- peared, and for some months all the efforts of Luigi to trace her proved utterly unavailing; but in the menth of October he heard she was living at Dover, N. J., with a countryman of her own, in the capacity of housekeeper. Luigi dearly loved the woman, with all her faults, and he deter- mined, if possible, to regain her affections, In company With another Italian, Philip Massalini, he left on the early train one morning for Dover and easily succeeded in finding the place where the woman was ilving with her paramour. He tells the story of what he asserts happened aiterwards, The man, with whom the woman lived, a shoc- maker by trade, kept a small shoe shop, in which he was seated at work when Luigi and his friend made their appearance. Inquiries were made by Luigi about his wile, and he was answered by THE WOMAN IN PERSON, who came from an inner room. The meeting be- tween the two was not by any means friendly, the woman Instantly commencing to upbraid her hus- band, charging him with having been cruel to her and robbing her of her effects, Luigi endeavored to soothe her, and, idles 9 to make the con- versation more private, he suggested that they should adjourn to the sidewalk, the house not affording a private apartment. They did so, and after talking some minutes went back again into the house, where some hot words ensued, At this mement, Luigi asserts, the ‘woman grasped a butcher-knife with which she was cutting meat, and stabbed him in the abdo- men, while he was at the same time struck with a shoemaker’s knife behind the ear. To seize the knife from Johannarwas but the work of @ mo- ment, and enraged and excited with pain and jealousy, HIS HOT SOUTHERN BLOOD WAS RAISED to an ungovernable degree, and a deadly wound was inflicted upon the unfortunate woman, which caused her life blood to trickle upen tne floor. Luigi then closed ina flerce encounter with the shoemaker, during which the latter was se- verely stabbed, Luigi went down to the station- house and surrendered himself, while the startled Villagers gathered around the dead body of the woman, which lay upon the door step. Luigi was triea at the November term of the Court at Morristown, and, though it was proven that to the crime of adultery Johanna had added bigamy, and married her paramour, who was shown to be @ man ef notoriously bad character in his own land, the jury brought in a verdict of mur- der in the first degree, The prisoner’s devoted counsel, Messrs. Werts and Childs, who worked without recompense or reward, succeeded in hav- ing a short stay granted before sentence was pro- nounced, and @ motion was made for a new trial on the ground of various irregularities. The mo- tion was refused by Judge Dalrymple, and on the lst day of April the last sentence of the law was directed to be carried into effect upon the Ist day of May. The prisoner manifested NO EMOTION WHEN SENTENCE WAS PASSED upon him, merely exclaiming in his broken Eng- lish, as he was led away, “Me poor man; me no fair trial.” An effort was made after sentence was passed to have the sentence commuted, and appli- cation was made to the Court of Pardons, but the application was refused, although the public sentl- ment of Morristown was almost unanimously in javor of a commutation of sentence. A reporter of the HERALD on yesterday visited the prisoner in his cell in the County Jail. Luigi Lusignani, who is a slight, delicate man, only twenty- three years old, has not changed in appearance since his trial, and seemed to be in wenderiully good spirits. Inanswer to a question of the re- tae as to how he felt he shrugged his shoulders in an expressive way and said, “Me tee] very good; no Food to be sorry.”” The reporter inquired if he was not afraid to die? and he said in reply:—‘‘No; die once, all over,” at the same time pointing to the prison yard, where the preparations jor the execution have already commenced, On being asked was he sorry for what he had done he said, ag in shrugging his shoulders, “Sorry for my Wife, no; sorry for myself, yes. { told truth about what happened; but me poor, no money; thought to get five years, ten years; but no, they hang me. Well, it 18 all right.’ ‘Tne Italian went on talking for some time in this strain, and he then gave the reporter some partic- ulars of his life. It seems that he was at one time a soldier under Garibaldi, and his slight frame quivered with excitement as he speke of the battles he had assisted at under his great leader. He will sometimes break out into one of the patriotic songs of Italy, and, as he has a@ rich musical voice, the risoners in the outer cells gather around to listen, Luigi is finely Soecn Sra he is own reads a good deal in po bovks in language. ‘There is @ Bible in the Italian language and in this he reads almost dally when not talking to friends. He is visited by an Italian priest from Orange almost daily and by the Sisters of Charity from the Convent of St. Elizabeth. Some triends supply him with the Ecco /talfa, and in the perusal ofthis he takes great interest, The citizens of Morristown are much interested in the case, and he ‘was supplied with @ number of delicacies which he would not be otherwise able to procure. The preparations for the execution have already commenced, and the galiows will soon be erected on which already six persons have been hanged, It is a remarkable coincidence that the last execution which took place in Morristown was also that of a wife murderer and @ foreigner, a Frenchman, named Peter Gucel, Governor Parker, Like Governor Dix, Is Inflexible. Yesterday Governor Parker, of New Jersey, received an application from George F, Wunts, one of Lusignani’s counsel, praying for @ respite of the death sentence passed on the culprit at the Morris County Ceurt of Oyer and Terminer on the 20th of February last. In this last petition a stay of two weeks was s0- licited. Governor Parker refused to interfere with the sentence of the Court for the following rea- sons :— On the 20th of Febru last the culprit was found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged on the 1st of May. On an application for a new trial the ver- dict Was sustained, The Court of Pardons, after a careful examination of the evidence and full consideration of the circumstances, unanimously refused to commute the sentence. early six months have elapsed since the commission of the crime for which he is condemned. While I sympathize with the friends of the prisoner and Tegret his fate, still, a8 a public officer, I have @ duty to perform which, in the absence of any good reasons for extending the time fixed by the Court for execution requires, that He the appli- cation for reprieve.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER. 'Phe Inquest in the Case of Mary Fagan, Who Was Bea to Death—Important Testimony. Tne murder of Mary Fagan, the poor woman who Was beaten to death some five weeks ago, is still shrouded in mystery. Coroner Young held the in- quest at the Twentieth precinct police station, Thirty-seventh street, betweem Ninth and Tenth | avenues, yesterday. The inquest has been de- layed because the principal witness, Mathew Morri- son, who was supposed to be the murderer, lay sick at Bellevue Hospital. Morrison is dead now, and his wife, at the inquest yesterday, seemed un- willing to unravel the mystery, The facts were published in the HERALD at the time the murder was discovered. Mary Fagan was a very poor woman, a drunkard, too, and en the night of the 16th of March sought shelter in the house, or rather in the rooms, of Morrison, 515 West Thirty-eignth street, she was an old acquaintance of Mrs. Mor- rison, and the latter allowed her to stay for the night, On the 1ollowing day Mary Fagan was found dead in the room in which she had slept. She was terribly bruised, most of her ribs being broken and the jagged ends of the ribs on the right side hav- ing penetrated the right lung and liver, had lacera- ted both organs in a terrible manner, ‘The first Witness examined yesterday was Mrs, Jane Morrison, who is a short, stout woman, with @ rather shrewd face. Sne testified that she did not know what Mary Fagan died of; she did not know where she got the terrible beating; she nad known Mary Fagan five years; there had been no trouble that afternoon or evening; she did not know whether her boy, Hamiiten (who is sup- posed to know everything about the case, but has all of a sudden disappeared), sleptin the place that night; she protested she knew absolutely hing about the murder, She identified a smeething- iron, which was teund in the room stained with biood, as her own, but said she did not know who could have taken it out of the closet, Mrs, Eliza Crosby, who lived with the Morrison family, testifiel she was drunk that particalar evening, and that she remem- ered seeing the boy, Hamilton, in the house between seven and eight o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Farley, who occupied the adjeining room, testified that Morrison and his wife used to quarrel frequently ; she had frequently seen both with black eyes; when Mrs. Morrison got a beating she took it very quietly; she never made much fuss about it, The most important witness was Mrs. Garrity, who lived in the same house, She testified that she heard a quarrel between them ; she heard Morrison Swear, and also heard blows and a dull noise, as if somebody was falling down; she heard a woman moan as if in terrible pain; next day she saw the body of Mary Fagan and believed that Morrison had beaten her to death, The jury retired and brought in the following verdict :—“We believe that Mary Fagan died trom injuries received at the hands of Mathew Morri- son, and that Jane Morrison was an accessory thereto.” Coroner Young sent Mrs. Morrison to the Tombs to await the action of the Grand Jury. in answer to the question what she had to sayin regard to the charge against her she coolly replied, “1 have nothing to say.’ THE NEW CHARTER. Office Seekers Still on the Lookout at the Mayor’s Office—The Aldermanic Combination Getting Fixed—What is Thought of the Proposed Supplemen- tary Chapter Bill. “The ery is still they come” at the Mayor's ofice. Yesterday the office-seekers came, not in single files, but in battalions. The more notable of the callers were Thurlow Weed and Colonel Stebbins, both of whom had short interviews with His Honor, The main topic of yesterday’s gossip around the Hall was THE RENOWNED SUPPLEMENTARY BILL, said to be contemplated being brought before the Legislature directly the charter is signed, and which proposes to return to the provisions of the charter of 1856, by which the office of Comptroller was made elective instead of by appointment of the Mayor as under the present and the new charter. Various opinions were expressed as to the chances of the ultimate success of such a measure, but the majority seemed to think that there was very little chance of any proposal in this direction becoming law. Those who favor a combination in the Board of Aldermen as to THE MAYOR'S NOMINATIONS were slightly strengthened yesterday, and {t was said, with some show of truthfulness, that the Aidermanic combination has been formed which will control the appointments, Mayor Havemeyer is believed to be too shrewd and too good a manager to be defeated in his purposes by any combination of this kind. The Mayor will, when the proper time comes, take into his confidence certain prominent city officials and the more valuable men of the Board of Aldermen, and in a private conference, or perhaps in several con- ferences, will go over his list of nominations, and in this council the final list will be drafted and then sent te the Board of Aldermen tor confirma- tion, and it is not anticipated that there will then be any difficulty in THE MATTER OF APPOINTMENTS. The mention of any names with particular ap- ice cna would certainly be the merest specu- ation, and it may safely be taken for granted that all names thus mentioned for the next few days are only suggested by the wish that is father to the thought, ——__++ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
