] MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB. First Day of the Spring Meeting at Baltimore. Fine Attendance and Four Spir- ited Contests. Lochiel the Winner of the Hurdle Race, Survivor the Preakness Stakes, Brsi- ness the Mile Heats and John Merryman the Three- Mile Dash. BALTIMORE, Md., May 27, 1873, After a number o: ize, sunshiny days, this morn- img was ushered in witn clouds and disagreeable wind frem the east; besides, “Old Probabilities” said it would rain. This had tie effect of dampen- ing the spirits as well as the prospects of all turf- interested individuals. Yet about noon the sun shoneout and hundreds of eyes soon turned towards Pimlico to witness the four races announced to come off, and those who attended the course were highly delighted with the sport thattook place, The first event was over hurdles, between Lochiel and Stoekwood, It was thought by many that the latter might jump the brush, and that if he did so he stood a good chance of winning the race. Re, however, bolted at the third hurdie aud was beaten halt a mile. The second race was avery exciting affair be- tween seven three-year-olds, the majority of them making their début. Mr. Belmont had two starters that were thought highly of, and Governor Bowrle ran Catesby. This colt was the favorite, his fine performances last Summer leading the Baltimoreans to back him stoutly in the Pools, in one of which Catesby brought $325, Ar- tist $81, Joe Johnson $76, Belmont $70, Surprise $40 and Crouse’s entry 21. Surprise went the one mile and a half in a canter, coming away from the others with the greatest ease as soon as he entered homestreteh for the finish, The third event was,mile heats for four-year-olds, fm which Business, True Blue, Buckden, Shylock, Pennock’s colt and Jennie Patterson contended, True Blue won the first heat by filteen lengths, Buckden second, Pennock’s colt third, the others well out of distance. The gentleman who was judge fergot his business and did not drop the flag in the face of those that de- served it, and the consequence was they were all al- Jowed another start. Then, tomake matters worse, True Biue was given a start behind all the others, and was beaten in the heat, when he cramped, and thus lost the race to a horse that he had dis- tanced the first heat. This was unfortunate for Many gentlemen who backed True Blue stoutly, but they all say, and with truth, too, that the inis- take of the distance judge was purely accidental. The time made in the mile heats was the fastest ever ran on the Pimlico course. The last event of the day was a dash of three miles, which was won by Mr. Frank Hail’s horse, John Merryman. But to the details, HURDLE RACE for all ages, welter weights, two miles, over eight hurdles, for which there were entered Mr. Cotlin’s bay horse Lochiel, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Bonnet, and Messrs Rice & McCormick's chestnut horse Stockwood, by Asteroid, dam Alabama. The former was a great favorite, doubt being entertained that Stockwood would refuse to jump the hurdles. Before the start Stockwoed showed a disposition to reject the brush, yet alter the drum tapped for a start, he went away over the first hurdle on even terms with Lochiel jumping with him simu'taneously. He then dashed away from Lochiel, and made the pace strong around the upper turn and down the back- stretch to the half mile pole, where the second hurdle was stationed, and this one he cleared splendidly six or eight lengths ahead of his com- petitor. Going along the lower turn to the third hurdle, which was stationed at the taree-quarter pole, he was pulled double, but when he reached the brush he changed his mind about jumping and bolted. Lochiel then went up and took the lurdie, and backers of the long odds were in ecstactes, as the race was practically over. Lochiel galloped to the end, winning by haifa mile. Stockwood was afterwards forced over all the hurdies, ‘ime, 4: SUMMARY.

There was no change of places areund the upper turn, the horses only getting closer Re erg and the pace becoming much sharpened. At the quarter pole Periwinkle was leading Survivor only a neck, the latter being a length ahead of Artist. On the backstretch they were all doing their level best, Catesby showing in front for a moment, but then Survivor went with @ rush and cut him down at the haif-mile pt where Chamberlin’s celt led the field. latesby fell off and Jolin Boulger took second lace, Artist third, As the colts came in to the jomestretch Survivor led # clear length well in hand, and there was no further doubt about the result of the affair.

Crouse’s chestnut coit asiness, by Revolver, dam Syren, and T. B, & W. R. Davis’ chestnut fly, Jennie Patierson, by Anstralian, dam Jennie A. The betting on this event was very lively, particularly so between Shylock and True Blue. Buckden had the call against the fleld until just beiore the start, when True Blue began to run into favor, and belore the drum tapped he gad the call, selling for $110, Buck- den, $105; Shylock, $75; the others bringing small digures. 4 First Heat.—Shylock jumped off with the lead, closely followed by Jenny Patterson, Buckden third, True Blue fourth, Pennock fifth, Business sixth.

They ran through the mile in this order, Gayo passing underthe string a neck in front of Edwin, who was half a length ahead of Jno. Merryman, the latter being three lengths in front of the mare. Gayo increased his advantage on the upper turn, leading one length, but Edwin soon closed with him, and they passed to quarter pole head and head, one length in front of John Merryman, the latter one length ahead of the mare. Going down the back stretch John Merryman made hs run, and soon went to the front, leading a length at the half mile poll, Gayo second, one length ahead of Edwin,who could not keep pace with the leaders at this time.

John Merryman seemed to have the race in hand, but the old mare was shaken up after entering the homestretch, and, coming in under whip and spur, made the backers of Merryman held their breaths until he passed the score, John Merryman won the race by half a Jength, Lucy Jackson second, six lengths in ad- vance of Gayo, who was ten lengths in tront of Ed- win, Time of the dash, 5:46%4.

Second and Last Day of the Trainers’ and Drivers’ Trotting Mceting—Inter- esting Exhibitions of Speed—Siippery Dick, Brown Kitty and Alice Brown the Winners. The second and last day of the trotting meeting at Deerfoot Park, getten up by the trainers and drivers for the benefit of their protective associa- tion, Was very successful, both in the matter of at- tendance and character of amusement offered. Three events were on the programme, the first being between the horses in class No. 3, which em- braced fourteen entries, but enly four came to the score, yet the contest was of such an exciting na- ture as to afford the greatest gratification to tne spectators and the betting fraternity. These were William Thora’s bay gelding Slippery Dick, W. E. Weeks’ chestnut gelding Sam Nolan, Daniel Mace’s chestnut mare Washburn Maid and Dr. Heard’s gray mare Butterfly. Before the start Slippery Dick evidently had the confidence of the pool buyers, as he was the favorite over the fleid $30 to $20. He was beaten in the first heat, Sam Nolan winning it by @ length in 2:46, when the majority of the speculators left Slippery and pinned their faith to Sam; but, like sporting matters gen- erally, they were again “all at sea’? when Slippery went to the front, and won the second heat by two lengths in 2 4. There was a division of opinion among them now, some sticking to Sam and others to Slippery, the result proving that those holding steadiastly to their faith in the latter's ability to pull through the contest victoriously were correct, as Slippery stuck to his business, and, winning the third and fourth heats, was accorded the race. The second event, under the saddle, a contest 80 seldom taking place nowadays as to be peculiarly interesting, had seven entries, of which five came on the track. These were G. N. Ferguson's chest- nut geiding James K. Polk (formerly Cloudman), Alexander Patterson's brown mare Brown Kitty, William MeManon’s bay gelding Coroner K., M. W. Olcott's gray gelding Bolly Lewis and J. H. Plil- lips’ bay gelding Mystic, Before the start, James K. Polk, Who was sore from his performance the day before, and would not “strike a trot,” despite the exertions of both Ferguson and Dan Mace, wlio successtully mounted the “pigskin” and gave him iittfe exercise, was withdrawn, ng toy but four in the fleid. The race proved’ to be brilliant and closely contested, Johnny Murphy rode Brown Kitty, Charles Green Coroner K., E. Weeks Bolly Lewis and one of the Phillips family Mystic. In the first pools Brown Kitty Was the favorite, but Coro- +, going of with a vim, and winning the r was made the choice. Then Brown Kitty scored the second heat, whici made her a still greater favorite, and re; eating her suc- cessful performance in the third heat it was re- garded she could not lose. But Kitty was little tired, and when the word was given for the fourth heat Corener K. evidently meant mischief, which proved to be the case, a8 aftera most éxciting Intle he passed the score a winner by one length amid universal applause. Brown Kitty and the Coroner had each two heats at this stage of the play, and the betting men, ever anxious to “turn an honest penny,” made the Coroner a favorite at the rate of $20 te $12. Belly Lewis was allowed to withiraw. For the fifth and deciding heat both came for he Work the firat atramne “thas witprg exercising the utmost vigilance to keep them level. At the quarter poie, in fort: and # halt seconds, Browa Kitty was three lenzhths in front; at tie half-mile, in 1:18, the same advantage was main- tained, and, going about her business from this point, she landed a winner of the heat and race in 2:40, a victory well deserved i! both Kitty and her excellent rider, Many points in the diffe! ent heats were so well contested that it was the unanimous opinion of ail present—and many of the assemblage had followed the turf for more than a quarter of @ century—that it was one of the best races of ita kind on recor’, The third and concludtag event, Class No. 3, bronght four of the eight entries to the seore, these being Dan, Mace’s chestnut mare Alice Brown, Dan Pfeifer’s bay gelding Billy, T. D. Walton's gray mare Butler Boll and J. H. Phillips’ gray peviingtecs, Draper. Alice Brown was the favor- ite before the start, and the confidence of the bet- ting men in her ability te win was Lot misplaced, as she won the race in three straight heats. following are summaries of the day’s capital amusement :— DEERFOOT PARK (FORMERLY HALL’s TRACK), NEAR BROOKLYN, L.

Yesterday afternoon Major the Hon, J, Colborne successiully decided the match in which he had un- dertaken to walk fifteen miles in three consecutive hours for £100, the conditions being that lie should carry a couple of bricks, one in each hand, weigh- ing fifteen pounds the pair, such bricks not to be suspended from or touching the body at any time. This affair arese out of a similar match which took place on April 23, when the Major having accepted a bet of a pony that he could not walk five miles with au seven pound brickin each hand irom Mr. Brewn- low North, won easily, Mr. Rees then offered to double the stakes and bet that he could pot per- form the feat under notice, with what result will be found by the appended return :—starting at the first milestone out of Ashford, on the Maidstone road, at 2m. 35s., the pedestrian covered his first mile in 9m, 28s., and walked his first six miles in 1h, 4m. 20s, Im just a shade under 1h, 41m. nine miles had been successfully traversed, and the vet- eran Was going as strong as a lion. Thyee more miles had to be struck otf when the enemy marked 2h. 17m. 30s., and at zh. 80.m only two more miles had to be walked, which were completed in 2h. 55m. 503., the Major thus winning with 4m, 10s. to spare. Mr. T. Kennett offictated as referee, and Mr. T. Grifith coached the winner. INDIGNATION MEETING OF PAINTERS. SES ie ves Protestations Agati Unsound Scaffold- ing—Protection tor Life and Limb De- manded—EKarnest Action of the Whole Body of Mechanics. A mass meeting of workingmen was held last evening under the auspices of Painters’ Lodge No. 4, at the court room corner of Twenty-second street and Seventh Avenue, the object being to protest against unsound scaffolding. A large as- semblage of laborers and mechanics were present and apparentiy very much interested in the move- ment. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Connally, whe presented “the Life and Limb bill” before the Albany Legislature, and whe ex- plained last evening the object of the meet- ing. The question to be discussed was so novel that alarge number of persons were also present from curtesity to Jearn what action would be taken, The principal reasons given for holding a meeting of this kind were the destruction of life and numb to all persons necessarily engaged in that kind of labor where scaffolding was required. When unsound or constructed without proper care danger was invariably at hand, and very many persons under such circumstances were either de- prived of life or rendered useles to the community during their after existence. Acting, therefore, on @ bill presented before the Legislature at Albany on January 31, 1873, by Mr. Blumenthal, entitled “An act for the better protection of life and limb of persons employed in mechanical pursuits,” which was defeated, the painters of this city called a mass meeting to protest against ita defeat and to take measures on the resuits since expe- rienced in the death of several of their brother mechanics, The following is 8 synopsis of the sections con- tained in the bill presented before the Legisi- It provides that all persons engaged in the ercetion, altering, painting, &c., of any structure shall turpish and apply such suitable scaffolding, including hoists, stays and ladders, ag will afford protection to the life and limbs of persons engaged in such employment. Any person .viviating the provisions oi tnis and otker appended acts mentioned in the bill shall be deemed guiity of a misdemeanor and subject to conviction and fine ac- cording to law. In case any workingman shall receive injury by violation 0: shall pay, in addition to Court fine, $15 per week so long as the injury shali the workingman se injured disabied.” said. provisions, he the sui of render provisions, the workingmen have become excited to no ordinary degree, particularly as no later than last Friday a brother mechanic, named McLevey, was killed by @ fall offa bad scaffolding in Ganse- voort street, in the employ ofa Mr. Burdock, The following resolutions were passed alter sev- eral spirited and well peinted speeches being de ade by Messrs, Connolly, Bank: enkins and Blair — Whereas human i tly in our nt e¢ ing creed ain and humblest nst exalted citi- t or Re and any couatry violating this prin ciple is acknowledged by all right thinking minds to be « land groaning under the heel of despotism; — and where f ring from the use of unsafe scaffolding provited by the boss painters of this city has become alarming; theretore Res ed, That as we are compelled, through sity, to work for these they should be he sponsible for the through their negligence in providing rotten and unsate sen folding : and lved, That we demat pustolian of the law— ur recreant Legistt i be fit and nd thus. pre or, unfortu id starvation among t ‘and be it further That a committee be appointed to present i stature a bill, through the Governor, demand esolved, to the L ng theapassage of a law such as the defeated “Lite and Linh bill,” and that this committee be empowered to bring all’ parties to justice who violate such laws, and consequently the laws of the land, as well as ot humanity The confmittee mentioned above was appointed afterwards, aad an announcement made that an inquest would be held on MeLevey's body, when some matters of importance will be obtained.

At NEW JERSEY EPISCOPAL CONVENTION Significant Hints by the Preacher of the Day. Communism in Religion—The Poor on an Eguatity with the Rich or Ne Safety for the Church—Trained Women to As- sist the Ministry-A New Diocese Recommended. The nineteenth annual Convention of the Episco- pal Diocese of New versey was opened yesterday at St. Mary’s church, Burlington. St, Mary’s is the oldest parish in the diocese, 170 years having elapsed since it was first organized. The old church, which was built at that time, still remains as @ landmark of the past, and is now nsed as a schoolheuse. The new edifice is of brown stone and Gothic architecture, has a peal of eight beau- tiful bells, which were cast in England, whose silvery tones commenced to warn the inhabitants of Burlington at twenty minutes te mine yesterday morning of the important event which was about to take place. At nine e’clock the sacred editice was moderately filled. The silver altar service is 170 years old—as old as the parish—and the pastor states it was the gift of Queen Anne, of England, At ten minutes past nine thirty-three clergymen, attired in white surplices and black gowns, headed by Bishop Odenheimer, tiled in single line through the south aisie to the altar, around which they took thetr seats. A large nomber of clergymen were scattered through the congregation who did not take part in the oficial servi The ser- vices were then commenced, and continued for three hours, At hali-past ten o’clock Rev. J. N. Stansberry, Christ church, Newark, ascended the pulpit, and, after taking for his text the eleventh chupter St. Matthew, fifth verse—The poor have the Gospel preached tothem”—he proceeded to deliver a sermon which was most instructive and edifying. He said that classes in the church should be abolished, No distinction snouid be made between the rich and poor; but he was sorry to say that this was not the case. If the fisherman of Gullilee or the }Carpenter of Nazaret entered fashionable churches what @ sensation it would create, how unwelcome they would be received. He held this was not wise, and that such practices would run riot unless modided by the Church to-day, He here referred to the predictions made by some people that labor and capital would soon come in ancagonistic conflict, and also to the troubles in Paris.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNUAL MEETING, eoineintialfitmeenes Monster Reunion Yesterday—Meeting of the Teachers in the Evening at the Broadway TabernaclemAddresses by Drs. Tyng, Jr., and Ormiston, Rev. Mr. Vail and Dr. Taylor. Yesterday was the occasion of the annual meet- ing of the Sunday school chiidren and teachers ot the Sunday Schoo! Missionary Union. The pian ob- served Was the usual one, of three or four Sunday schools meeting in some one church. About twenty churches were used tn this way in this city, and the total number of those engaged in the ex, ereises could not have been less than fiiteen thou- sund, leaving out Brooklyn, Jersey City, &c. About ninety diferent Sunday schools participated. They met at two o'clock at the various churches, and orders were given that the m ngs should not last more than one hour, The Committee of Arrangements consisted of Theophilus A, Brouwer, dobn Archibald, J. Wynne Jones, © # Fanning, | George W. Beale, B,C. Wilder, All went off pleas. | antly and amid great enjoyment. The annual meeting of the Sunday sghool teach- ers and workers took place mst evening at the broadway Tabernacle, The church was completely filled in every part by those devoted to the work, The Rev. Dra, Taylor, Ormiston (who presided) and Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., were on the plat- form, and Mrs. Marian Christopher played the organ very finely. Dr. Isaac Ferris, Who was to preside, Was absent on acceunt of sickness. The exerei ses bind with the singing of an anthem by the choir and a@ hymn by the congregation, The Rev. H. D, Ganse then’ read irom the Scriptures and said @ prayer. Miss Kate C, Stark then sang “How Beautiial are the Feet,” from Handel's “Messiah,” in an eXquisite manuer, aud the choir did its work well, Dr, ORMISTON then said @@at no doubt the ab- sence of the good and venerable geutieman who usually presided at these meetings was re- gretted. He bothing could be more influential in @ permanent Christianity and general culture of the community than. the work of the Sabbath School Union, aeey, learned all they knew from the Sabbath schoo! Every Sunday school teacher should aim to give a general basis of Christiagity in the scholar. They would thereby counteract the insidious inftuence of infidelity, and that impure influence of a litera- ture, which was bad in fact, if not in profession— the secular reading of the day. There are great d@iscouragements in the work, but in the end pleas- ure and profit come fromit. The Sunday school teacher has the best of a child, takes itin its best mood, and it was a shame if it were not taken vantage of. The speaker then introduced the Rey. Dr. Tyng, Jr. Dr. TYNG said that an address in this way was NOt to be So serious as & Sermon, Nor did It rise to tue dignity of a lecture. The subject he was to speak on was “Piety in Teachers the Secret of Sunday School Success.” Piet Paul, in children to requite their parents—in our day it is not the expression of an emotion, Dut the relation of a child to the father. Until a man enters into this glorions relation, a man knows net wnat piety is, The success of a Sunday school was not n having numbers, nor did it consist in teaching Who Moses and Aaron were. The success lay 1n bringing children to a realization of the great act which Christ has dene for us and the necessity, a8 mere gratitude, of ing God, The simple fact of Christ’s life und His sacrifice for us were all that he taught children. When there were known, and the children were convinced, it was enough. ‘The manner of teaching goes for a great deal, Some people are so raw and so torbidding that with perfectly good motives they don’t do Much good, Tiey may push people into Paradise, but they will never attract them, Alter the singing of a hymn, “One in Christ,’ by the congregation, the Chairman introduced Rev. A.D. Vain, who said that in life the great question was, “Does it pay “This is the question with the Sunday school work, It is not a question, Does it pay the Church Does it pay the world? ‘The question really is, Does it pay the worker ? Mr. Vail went on to prove that itdid. [tis God's plan that we shovld save ourselves by saving others, We certainty bi 8 by benefit- ing others, Churches w ted jrom Sun- day schools, and the Bane pal pride of a great many lay tu their schools, Mrs. Emma Watson Doty then sang, “Consider the Lilies,” by Toplifte, and Dr, TAYLOR, the pastor of the Tabernacle, then spoke on “The Demands of the Sunday Schooi for the Hest Talent of the Chureh.”” He said that if we would kindle Chris- tlanity in oth we must do so by kindling it Irom our own hearts. Piety is needed by the Sunday is, according to | scheol teac ; but more than piety is needed. If & man comes and says, ‘Here 1s a choice, good he may be very wood; but it would be better , “Here 18 a goed, choice Sunday. school A man wants ‘stmply the oil of Chris- he wants the oi! of adaptiveness to the nity; Work with which to lubricate the machinery of Church —moveme| It is indispensable that he be a Christ More than that is de- sirable, and the man who can teach children well, und is an ordinary man, is better tor the par- pose than aman of the greatest genius otherwise. Still a Sunday school teacher requires intellectual ability, Ifa man is unintelligible he gets the credit of being profound, Lf a man 1s very clear he gets the credit of being very simple and ‘very ordinary. But this is the sort of man we want. It takesa very reat deal of intellectual adiity to be simple: fact it 18 an exceptional case, When a man can't make himself well understood he doesn't very well understand what he ts driving at. Therefore we may be e that the best Suuday school teacher is the one who is clear and imaginative. Alter this address the election of oficers was proceeded with for the ensuing year, TAKING THIEVES. ea Deteetives Doing Good Work. James Brady was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Tully and Dilks, in the office of Dr. Harrison, at 43 Carmine street, There is no direct charge against bim but that he is an escaped con- vict from Auburn Prison, Captain Irving heard some days ago that Brady was in town, and de- tailed Detectives Dilks and Tuily to look after him. ‘These officers hunted all the well known resorts for thieves in the city, and finally got on the track of Brady. His movements convinced the officers he was at some dangerous game, and they sutfered him to go on, expecting to catch him in the act. Finally, when he turned up at Dr. Harrison’s office yesterday morning, they pounced upon him. As soon as he saw the detectives he jumped through the window into the street. De- teetive Tully followed, but the window fell upon the latter, holding him in the middle, and he would have been seriously hurt, and, perhaps, have lost ius prisoner, but for the daring and quickness of = Onticer Dilks. The latter whipped up the — wind: and = dashed along the street after the prisoner. Detectr Tully joined in the race the moment he was liber- ated, and for some time au exciting race was kept up through the streets in the neighborhood, The shouts of “Stop thie!’ and the reports of the de- tectives’ pistols brought together u crowd of peo- ple, who rushed after the ofMfcers. Brady, seeing an open window in a house in Leroy street, jumped through and rushed to the rear of the house to escape by that way, when Detective Diiks burst through the same way and grabbed him in the hall. Seeimg Brady Ming something away as he was en- tering the house, the officers searched the place, and found a quantity of registered bonds ufa stated value of $80,000, The prisoner was then n betore Cap n Irving, at Police Headquar- ers, and that oficer conducted him to Superin- tendent Mataell, After eyeing him sharply the Superintendent said :— “I think your face is familiar, young gentleman. Do you know him, Captain ¥? « , Sir,” answered Captain Irving. “He's Jim who escaped from prison, you remember, at ume time as Dan Noble.” is good, very good, Captain. That's the way. Lock him up,” said Mr, Matsell. Brady was then taken away und locked up. He will be sent before Judge Dowling at the Tombs this morning. The following is a list of the bonds found Amount.

When Detective Dusenbury brought in a thief he caught on a car on the Belt line, endeavoring to pick pockets, the Superintend- erwards to @ representative ot the F , “You see l am going to break up thief business, and I want the best men to take the work in hand.” Captain Irving spent the fore part of the da: scouring in the vicinity of Wail street, and it is in thieves are going to have a warm time. De- tive Heidelberg made a similar capture last evening in Broadway. He was going down that Street when he saw a man he knew to be a cele- brated cenfidence operator st ing on one of the corners and he arrested him. Mr, Matseil ordered man, who gave the name of Whittemore, to be locked up. The prisoner will be taken before Judge Dowling at the Tombs this morning. THE NATIONAL GAME. Another Defeat for the Mutuals—The Baltimoreans Take Them Into Score 7 to 6. The Mutual Club sustained their fourth de hands of the Baltimoreans yesterday afternoon, on the Union Grounds, Williamsburg. There were about one thousand two hundred people present to witness the affair, very many of whom felt not a little disgusted at the manner in which the New Yorkers allowed them: selves to be beaten. The betting was of every desert: tion, the Mutuals first having the call, then the Balti and again the Mutuals, The’ odds, however very heavy at any time previous to the begin ning of the game. The Visitors Were first to bat, and, through errors by Hicks, Gedney and Bellan, scored two rans. The Mutuals were whitewashed, Start being the only man to make a base bit. Tn the next five innings the Baltimoreans were blanked in one, two, three order, Holdsworth making a | ble play in the’ second, The Mutuals tine seored five runs; none of them'earned, how- r, although Gedney, Holdsworth, Hatfield and Exgler made fine hits, the rormer dri terrific ball to risht field tor three bags, The Mutuals 1a lead of three runs, but in the seventh inning the Baltimore men added thre heir score, two of them being earned on MeVey and, York. This tied the hth inning the Mutuals again took eu [4 un of an important or by Rad- cll, and then blanked the Baltimores. In the ninth and last inning, however, the Baltimores put on two rung off anerror by start, who allowed a hard hit ground ball to pass him. The Mutuals again tailed to make a run, and thus lost the game by ascore of 7 to6. Holdsworth de- ser’ especial mention tor his brilliant play at short stop.

Marion Courr House, 8. 0., May 23, 1873. Levi Souls, a white man, convicted of the murder of Noah Sutton, also white, was publicly executed to-day by hanging. The murder occurred in thia county, some twenty miles distant from the town of Marien, 8. C., on the 10th February last. Soulg and his victim Sutton were both engaged upon a flat loaded with turpentine, which they were foat- ing down the Pedee River at the time of the mur+ der. The parties were friendly, but the free use 0) whiskey, the predominane element of all fiendish- ness, nad rendered them insensible to aught of the claims either of friendship or common humanity, Other persons were on board, and a barrel of whiskey being part of the cargo, a high revel ob- tained among these men, who were thus preparing themselves for any or the worst act of wickedness or brutality. WANTON CRUELTY AND MURDER. Souls, tt was shown upon the trial, fred with @ pistol in mere wantonness at a house on tne river bank, @ light ina window, it being nighttime, at tracting his attention, Remonstrated wita by his less reckless or more sober companion, Sutton, he became enraged, and threatened to shoot the latter. Suiting the action to the word, upon the instant, he fired, the fatal messenger of death en- tering the breast of Sutton, and instantly killing him, The murderer fled, but, the next day, was captured by the Deputy Sheriff of the county. THE TRIAL On the 17th day of the sams month, the Court of General Sessions being thew sitting, Souls was brought to trial, and promptly cenvicted. Sentence was passed fixing the 17th day af May imst. for the execution. Preparations were duly made for car- rying the decree of the Court into effect, but by @ respite from Governor Moses the time was ex- tended until to-day. This act of Executive clemency was the result of a petition numerously signed by leading citizens, for the commutation of the sentence of death to imprisonment tor life in the Penitentiary. 1t was believed that the prise oner was @ person of weak and imbecile mind, men- tally incapacitated for @ due conception or realiza- tion of his crime, The testimony taken upon the trial was, furthermore, of a nature so conflicting, and throwing doubt to that extent upon the pris- sactual guilt, accerding to the epinion of many, that it Was an act only of justice and proper mercy to spare the life of the unfortunate and mis. guided man. But the Executive deciined to d more than to grant the respite which gave Souls another week's existence. In the sure progress of time tae day appointed has at length arrived. As early us nine o'clock this morning, A LARGE CROWD, fully 1,500 people, mostly negroes, were gathered about the jailin waich the prisoner was confined, It is creditable to them that good order prevailed, and conversation seemed to be carried on in no unseemly spirit of levity or mirth. A solemn im- pression appeared rather to be fixed upon all, and the shadow of death that hovered go close had its token in the comparative hush and stillness that prevailed. Between nine and ten o'clock the Sheriff arrived, accompanied by the Rev. W. C. Power, the Metho- dist clergyraan, The Sheriffs dress on these occa- sions corresponds to the old English custom, and consists of a cocked hat, white pantaioons, a blue coat, and sword and beit. J was kindly permitted by the Sheriff to enter the jail with tis party, En- tering one of tue rooms, THE CONDEMNED MAN was summoned and soon appeared. He was de cently dressed in a suit provided for him by the clarity of varioas citizens, He appeared very thin and pale, in fact, much attenuated, and we could feel only the one sentiment of pitv in gazing upon the man who had come to nally prepare for death, It isa solemn spectacle to sit with and in the presence of & man thus about tovdie, as this man was. It atfects the heart with a strange and p cullar emotion to behold a man taking part in @ service which involves his own preparation for eternity. 1 prisoner appeared calm, shook Th hands with all preseut and quictly took his seat, ‘The expression of his countenance indicated only a feeble and inert mind, The Kev. Mr. Power had come to administer the sacrament of the Lord's supper, and in the course o1 other religious ex- ereises te prepare the prisoner for his finalend., A hymn was first sung, then prayer was offered 1 and the administration of the sacmament followed, In ail the prisoner joined, Yesterday the prisouer had declared faith in his conversion to Christ. To the earnest interroga- tories addressed to him by the oMciating mioisier, the prisoner answered to the effect that he was prepared for death, realized the forgiveness of ms sins and was “willing to go atany moment.” His composure was re rkable. At last all was con- cluded that the service of the church required, and the fatal rope was brought into the apartment. We here took the opportunity, by permission of the Sherif, to interregate the prisoner, He gave us, in substance, the outline of his life as we have above described it, and said that ae did not know anything about the murder, because he was drunk wien it occurred. He was, he stated, in the habit of drinking, and if he killed Sutton he had done so when in liquor and When reason and consciousness were dethroned. The fatal noose was extended prisoner, and be placed his head in it himself. was then led from the jail to THE SCAFFOLD, erected at one end of the jail lot, his coffin being carried before him. The body guard was charac- teristic. Four blacks periormed this duty, varl- ously equipped, two of them having superannuated shotguns, and the other two old fogy muskets, one- of which was dignified with the appeudage of a rusty bayonet. Arriving at the scaffold the prisoner, led with the rope about his neck, fol- lowed the Sheri up the ladder and took his’ seat on the piatform. The minister present then went up on the scaffold and conducted the services usual upon the occasion. The hymn that was nit | swelled to a loud chorus with the unite voices of nearly the entire Fahne Mg The col- ored people were especially earnest in this exer- cise. These people seem to lose seli-control and tobe moved by some occult influence on occa sions like these. They are liabie to the most ex- treme excitement. Prayer followed the hymn, and then one of the most impressive exhortations was addressed to those present by the minister, 2 THE PRISONER'S FAITH. The prisoner was now wliowed to address the crowd. His speech was @ mere retteration of wnat we had already heard and have told, of his faith and hope of salvation. He declared he would not eome down from the scaffold if allowed, for from there he was “going to heaven.’ He mumbled out the same expression over and over again for @ iong time, and repetition followed repetition until he was finally interrupted by the Sheriff asking him if he wished te see any particular person. He asked, in reply, for his brother, who appeared and spoke with him, His brether’s appearance was that of a poor and uncouth man, and he seemed in nowtse affected by the event. The apparent imsensibiit of both men was astonishing, and the looks of bot plainly indicated how low a degree in the scjtle of lite nature had assigned them. When the interview between the brothers was over the Sheriff went up to the scaffold to make ready for the finishing streke—the fatal coup de main—o terminate a scene that had kept all present so long in painial and wondering suspense, The doomed man was duly bound, hand and foot, the black cap drawo, aud the Sheriff descended, A SCENE OF HORROR, Souls went up on the scaffold at fifteen minutes past eleven. he fatal trap was sprang at @ quarter past one, In Jalling the noose slipped to @ position near the ehin, resulting in the neck not being broken, The most violent struggles were made by the suspended man, His hands were worked nervously one over the other, and his teet were moved about in nearly a similar manner, Presently he commenced swaying his tortured body to and tro, with a regular swing, Moving him- self thus over @ space Of several feet, while his presentoe as he slowly suffered strangu- lation, had the hoarse and husky sound of a person loudly snoring. This contina@ed for six miuutes, When, gradually relaxing mis strug- gie, no furtaer evidence ot life appeared, after eleven minutes nad expired. Your correspondent has sought no effect of words to produce a more frightful picture than is presented by stating the bare reality, The tmagt- bation can cenceive nothing more harrowing or distressing. The body was taken down im hall an hour and placed inarude coffin fer interment. The accident resulting in the intense suffering of Souls was apparently the fault of the Suerid, aris. ing from @ Want ol care. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
