4 THE GOOD WORK, The Helping Hand of Charity Held Out to the Poor. BRAVE HEARTS TO THE FRONT. Bubstantial Aid and Thoughtfal Assistance for the Musical Family, SORROW TURNED INTO JOY. More [Illustrations of Professional | Philanthropy. The way to do good is being learned with asst- duity and thorouginess by many who have hith- erto only tried it spasmod:cally, and also by those ‘whose Dature and whose largeness of heart qualify them to learn tne way very quickly. Tne two columns of communications that are published to- day im reierence to the destitute poor of tnis city show a side of human nature that induces a strong faith in the perfectibility of mankind. ‘These times of adversity are educating al) of us to put our spare Wealth ‘0 noble uses. Though mach hhas been done, and done nobiy and well, there is Still room enough jor all who can do anything in ‘this noble and good work. ST. JOHN'S GUILD. A Good Day’s Work Yesterday. Two hundred and thirty-nine destitute men, ‘women and children yesterday applied at the | office of St. Jonn’s Gulld jor assistance, Fifty-four grown people and eighty-seven children were, Biter their stories were verified, supplied with clothing, amounting im all to 439 articies. Over 200 families received each packages Of tea, sugar, rice, oatmeal, It may be gratifying to the ladies who brought so many packages o/ clothing during the day to know that last uight they clothed poor, lorlorn bodies that else must have suffered, for many of these poor people are mothers, and bring their children to the Guild, often covered by only a piece of cot- ton ora ragged end of a bianket. One came yes- terday Witt only a shawl and skirt wrapped about her, leaving two young children entirely naked at home, U! course she was supplied with needed articles of dress, and went away happy. Many !adies when they came visited the clothing bureau, when they expressed their astonishment | and delight to find their packages so speedily | reaching their new Owners among the poor and their beneficence unclogged by circum ocution. Among those whv applied ior relief Was a wan of about forty-five years of age, WhO was a native of Engiand, born in brad.ord, Yorkshire. He was married seveuteen years ago in Notungham, Eug. land, to his present wile, Mi whom he has one child; but be tad two children by a former wie. They are now aii living together in a close, sinall room, on the top floor of a tenement house in First avenue, The husband has been a coachman in the employ of Mr. Frank Lesite and oj the jate Buward bassiord. In the service of the last uamed ue had live furnished rooms and was paid $20 per week, The wife was head laundress at Ramsey & Jewell’s hotel, at Lake Mahopac, and ajso at the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga, aud bas wtiers of recommendation trom many Wealtoy iamuiies in the city. The husband is atemperate wan, with the usual English weak- ness 01 boasiing of the “iour-in-hand be drove at the Dervy, you know,” and all that thing. He was last employed by 8 Meserole, No, 261 Broadway, , but ‘was thrown out Oo! work at the time of the panic, He exhibits letters showing bis trustworthy char- acter from E. G. Squier, late Chargé d’Adfutres of the United states in Central America; Mr. Frank Leslie and Mr. Mould, the architect. The room ‘was very ueat, but bure Of ali articles of comuort, everything not indispensable having been pawned, as were the clothing ane elry or both husband and wie. A photograph alvum, lying on the bure table, made the contrast between their past and present methods o1 dress painvuliy siriking. They Were jurnisked with money to buy ‘ood, and both are now striving to obtain empicyment. WaNTED—Tie name of the donor of the four <n of oatmeai leit without nouce at the Guild office!

HIS APPROACHING EXECUTION. Piety, Hypocrisy and Hardihood of the Villain. An Eestatic Vision of Future Bliss and a Poeti- | ¢al Contribution to the Angelical Chorus. Concorp, N, H., Feb, 11, 1874, On Tuesday next Frankiin B. Evans is to be hanged in the State Prison, in this city, for the murder of his grand niece, Georgiana Lovering, at Northwood, Rockingham county, on the 24th of October, 1872 She was a little girl not quite four- teen years old, of prepossessing manners, mach liked and petted by her acquaintances. She lived with her mother, about two miles from North- wood Centre, in the tamily of Mr. Sylvester Day and wife, her grandparents. Her father. a soldier in the Eighth New Hampshire Volunteers, died during the war, and the wife and daughter had lived there about two years, depending principally on a pension for their support. Evans, her grand uncle, was born November 11, 1811, in the adjoin- ing town of Strafford, and was in the habit of vis- iting the family, He is five teet eight and @ quarter inches in height, of a cadaverous aspect, gray hair and eyes, rather slight form, ana, until he was brought to the State Prison a year ago, wore a full beard and mustache of tron gray. The ex- pression of his countenance indicates LOW CUNNING, WITH ENTIRE ABSENCE OF COURAGE, and his whole appearance betokens a man devoid | of conscience, part fool and part knave, with a de- cided predominance of the latter. He had always led a roving and miserable itie, residing at differ- | ent times im this city (Concord), Manchester and other places, At Manchester he pretended to read medicine with a Dr. Hanson, a botanic physician, and aiterwards practised more or less among ig- norant people. He atso set up ior AN ADVENT PREACHER, WITH A BAD REPUTATION, and again a8 a ped.er of fish and notions. He ts said to have been married three times, his frst wile dying and the other two leaving him, He had son and daughter by the first wife, who are still living. At the cime of the murder Evans lived with Mr. Day, being the only brother of his wife, and worked on his farm during the summer of 1872, His relations to the tamily were ,cateable, and he was not regarded as dangerous, The murder was one of the most foulin the an- nals of crime. It appeared from the ‘estimony Shas on. She morning of Qotober’.24, 1572, Evans | this or thc and asking that he uight retain somethin went away, ostensibly to work, requesting the little girl, Georgie Lovering, to go down into the ‘woods to luok after some partridge snares he had set. Not returning, along and protracted searcn was made for her. An apron and piece of comb, woro by the girl, with hair adhering to it, were found on the day she was missed at a place where THE LEAVES AND GROUND HAD BREN DISTURBED AS IF IN A STRUGGLE. Evans had been seen going toward this spot, \ and measures were taken by the Selectmen to have | him arrested, Previously, however, one of them, Mr. George D. Sherburne, conversed with Evans, | who asked if he could be released providing the girl could be found alive. He said that ne and Georgie bad met & man named wno had carried her to Kingston in top carriage. On the Friday following the missing of the girl Mr. Sherburne went to the woods in the night, where he saw Evans with Sherif’ Henry Drew and several others, There he also saw the | body of the deceased wnen it was discovered on this occasion; described its mutilation aud the circumstances oi Evans going and finding, under Webster, | el @ rock, some distance from the body, certain | missing portions, Other witnesses corroborated this testimony, Sherif Drew testified that he arrested Evans October 26, 1872, took him-home and tried several days to get him to conless where the body was. Tne Sherif described the arrest, the search of Evats’ person, finding obscene books and a bottle | of rum in his pockets. He also related several conversations he had with him, the result of which was their going to the woods together and finding the body of the girl. The second Friday night after the murder Drew sat down and talked with Evans, During the conversation he asked him, ‘Is the girl cold in deatu?”” bvans replied, “SHE 18, AND MR. DREW [ HAYE DONE WRONG." In hig cross-examination Sherif! Drew said that a day ortwo alter Evans’ arrest he inaut- fested a desire to tell something, and frequently repeated the desire; L sald, ‘Frank, tell me aly- | thing you want to, but don’t you tell me that you killed Georgie—keep that to yourseli;” on Friday night, alter he had had the second examination, Thad some Conversation with him {tn relation to where the girl was; we went over the first con- versation we had, and I asked him what effect that tad upop him; he said it went like a dagger to his heart; asked Dim i he hed when he told me where he nad crossed the road; he said he hed; I said, “I don't want you to make @ cunlession to me,’ and he said be woud tell me the truth i £ would not ask him if ne had murdered her; asked him then if the girl. was cold in death, and he said, “She 1s, and [ have done grroug;” he then told me that be would show me where the vody was, and we jeft my house at five minutes past eleven o'clock that nigut. In con- tinuation of his testimony witness said in relation to subsequent conversation with Evans:—I said to him, ‘Will you show me the place where the body is”? he said, “I will i you will see that J am not harmed by the Seiectmen or anybody else ;’” told him that no one siould harm him as long as he was in my charge; we started, he leading the way and I following; he went up through the woods and I aster vim; we went into the Swamp for hali an hour; he said he was lost and must go back to the lence; we went to the latter place, and trom there he led me to tne falien tree, Where the bouy had been concealed. (The witness described | the finding of tne body, as bas been duly de- scribed heretoiore.) Alter assistance had. come and the body haa been removed tvans yielded to my request to show the way to the missing por- vons of the body; On the Way L asked him what he had cut the parts out with, and he said, “With a shoe knife which | found up stairs;” we then went and found the missing portions; subsequently I ked Evans where he killed Georgie; he said, “Right there by the big rock;’’ said 1, ‘You killed her there, did tees he sald, “Yes, I did; said I, “Did you cat those parts out aiter she was dead;’’ id He, “Yes;” I spoke of the distance between the piace where the body was found and the rock re‘erred to, reminding tim that it was about sixty rods; he said, “Il carried ner on my shoulder.’ Aiterwards, at another interview, 1 asked him If he set those snares ‘or birds; he said, “i set them for the girl, and | catcned her, didn’t If’ he also told me that he made up the story of Mr, Webster; 1 aiterwards brought up the subject of the shoe knife, and asked wim tf he did it with that; he drew out a pocket knile and said, “THAT I3 THR KNIFE” I took it and found it as sharp as @ razor. (Knife produced and sworn to.) On cross-examination Sherif Drew said that Evans had told him that, if he (Drew) would leave the windows open and let bim go off to Canada he would give him $12 in money and his gold watch. He also asked, while in the woods, search- ing tor the body, that Drew would shoot him through the body, Even J. Parshley, one of the men who remained outside the woods to await the alarm of Mr. Drew, testified :—Asked Evans bow he could do “such a wicked deed as this.” He said, “{ don't know; the evil one must have got the upper hand of me.” Several persons testified as to the Minding of the Mrs. Judith A. Chase, of Kensington Was at the house Qf Sherif Drew, at Stratord, when Evans Was there under arrest; on Sunday night after the body was found; he said he Killed her by the big rock; Mr. Drew said that the doctors said she Was strangied; ne said ‘Yes, sir;’’ he told Mr. Drew where te placed the missing parts, ander the stone, On Lhe Way jrom Mr. Koveris’, Dr. Oaled W.
