— SAMARITANS. Thirty Thousand Fed at St John’s Guild. ‘ POVERTY AND SORROW. Active Benevolence in the Wards of the City. The Soup Kitchens, A lentil, beef, bean and bread soup Was ,o Satur. day given to tue numerous applicay%its for relief at the soup kitchens in addition taggood wholesome bread, which was served in they proportion of half ®loafto each quart of soup. In the Fourth ana Sixth precincts 960 gallons of/soup were distributed to the poor, and these two wards are in the daily habit of consuming more than any other three ‘Wards in the city, and it seems as if More soup would be necessary at these Places very soon, About 3,000 Peg in all Were distributed yesterday and 13,500 persons ‘were furnishea with soup. The system is now quite perfect, and nearly all the details at first ori- ginated have been carried out to the satisfaction ‘of Mr, Ranhoter, the artistic chef of the Delmoni- co's, There were long lines of women and cnil- dren waiting at ten and four o’clock at all the soup houses. There is no decrease whatever in the Multitude of people who call tor aid, and yet it Might be expected that the mild weather would Jessen the number of So picanta, People will be Dungry who have no bread providers to /eed them. ‘Thirty Thousand Persons Being Fed by St. John’s Guild—A Widow with Six Children to Feed and No Bread—Inci- dents of Poverty and Sorrow from the Visitors’ Note Books.

During this period of distress the substantial divisions of parties and sects, have nobly devoted themselves to the task of seeking out and caring for the sick and the destitute in their midst. may they be proud of their benevolent work within | the past montn! A distributing committee, compris- | ing such honored names as Judge Sutherland, Cor- oner Croker, Warden Brennan, Hugh F. Farrell and James A. Brady have thoroughly looked through | every block inthe ward, seeking out, not alone those whose want was apparent, bat those whose pardonable pride precluded the parade of poverty. They have in each case done quietly what the means generously piaced at their disposal allowed, to feed the hungry, clothe and warm the suffering. In some cases they have paid such amounts ofrent | a8 were requisite to secure destitute tenants trom being turned into the wintry streets, They estab- lished a relief station at No, 108 East Thirty-tirst street, where have been distributed to the needy all kinds of supplies best suited to their cased, which were either bought at the !owest rates tor cash or were contributed by citizens in kind, ‘Throngs ol the destitute men, women and children residing in the ward have there been made happy | and thankiul each night by the kind donation of food, clovning, coal and other articles, for the lack of which they must else have suffered sorely. Besides the many articles given in kind the committee has expended | over $4,000 in supplies to the poor. No cessation | will be allowed in this charitable wor. so long as | the season renders its continuance necessary, and the committee appeal to the benevolent citizens whose generous sympathy has already gone so | much for their needy neighbors to furnish the means for keeping up the charity. Within the last week 201 families have been aided. In the comin; ‘weeks they will still need to be ted, clothed, housed and warmed. Those who are willing to help in this noble enterprise are requested to send contributions of money or any class of sunplies to the relief headquarters, No. 103 Kast Thirty-fret Street, at any time. ‘The committee thankfully acknowledge the fol- lowing donations :— CASH CONTRIBUTIONS, Collected by the Matthew Nugent. committee......... $811 50 Peter Seery A.J.

ANNA M, HOUPE. ' THE GADSHILL DESPERADOES. Particulars of the Death of Detective Whicher—The James Boys Thought to Have Murdered Him—The Younger Brothers Discovered by Detectives—A Fight’ at Close Quarters—A Citizen Killed and a Detective Wounded—One of the Youngers Killed. (From the St, Louis Globe.) Ever since the bold robbery of the train on the | Tron Mountain Railroad, at Gadsbill, on January 81, measures for the discovery of tae perpetrators have been on foot, The Post Omce officials, Adams Expiess Company and the tron Mountain Railroad gnally placed the matter in the hands of | Allan Pinkerton, the well known detective of Chi- cago, It was at last concluded that the five men concerned in the robbery were the famous James and Younger brothers, the tormer living m Clay county and the latter in St. Clair county, in this State. These men travelled down into Arkansas, giving ont that they were bound for New Mexico, apd then DOUBLED ON THEIR TRACKS and sought their homes; the James boys gomg one way and cautiously working up to their home, | while the three Youngers sought their home by another path. The pursuit was thus divided into two parts, and the tracking of the James boys by @ detective resulted in his death at their hands last | week, ‘This detective was named Joseph W. | Whicher, and he arrived in Liberty on Tuesday, | Maren 10. There he sought a banker named Au- | kins, with whom he deposited some money, as he | had more with uim than it was prudent to carry on | such an errand. He told Adkins of bis errand, and | he advised bim not to undertake it, as the boys ‘would be sure to kill him, Whicher, however, was jeariess aud persistent in going, AdKins then rec- | ommended him to talk wita the Sherif, who could | direct him where he wished to go, The Sherif also advised Whicher not to go ob his inteuded errand. He toid him that the boys were A BAD CROWD, and were away from home, but that the old woman was there, aud that she would kill him as quick a6 the boys, for she Would soot as soon as @ man. Whicher obtained a description of the boys and the way vo their house and started off on his peril- ous errand, He left Liberty on the atternoon of tne 10th on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. Reaching Kearney Station at about dark he leit the train and struck oi across the country lor the James boys’ place, THE NEXT KNOWN OF HIM 4s from John Brickey, the ferryman at Blue Mills crossing on the Missouri River. He gays he was called up Luesday night by some men on the north side of the river who wanted to cross. His assist- ‘ant on that side had been aroused, but could not Tow the bout alone. He asked who they were and what they wanted, saying that he could not jerry at pight. ‘They replied that they were Jim Baxter, the Deputy sheriff, and his posse, and that | they had arrested a horse thief in Clay county and Wanved to come over aud get another in Jackson county. They said that uniess he came over and took them across they would cut his boat loose and send it down stream, Rather than lose his buat, Brickey got into his skifl, crossed over the river, and Jerried the men across. When he got to the Clay county side he found that the men were not Baxter, the Deputy Sheriff, and his party, and began sculding, when they replied, “You have got this d—d horse thief to thank for all this.” Tne party consisted of FOUR MEN ON HORSEBACK, two of them riding bay horses, one on a sorrel horse and the tourth man on agray. ‘The fourtn man was tied on his horse by @ rope fastened to his legs and passing under the horse’s belly, and had his arms ted behind him at the elbows; bis hat was tied on with @ handkerchief, One of tne men dismounted and took the prisoner from his horse. Brickey says that the prisoner took things very coolly, and stamped his feet as if to warm them by restoring circulation. Not a word was said all the way across the river. The ferryman Saw that all the men except the prisoner had the | lower part of their facea covered with muMersand their hats slouched down over their faces. When the south side of the river was reached one of the men asked what the fare was, paid it, and the patty rode off Without a word. When Brickey got ack to the house the clock struck three, On Wednesday mores, @ man going to Liberty with @ load of wood foun : WHICHER’S DEAD BODY lying at the meeting of toe Lexington, Liberty and Independence roads. He was shot through the temple, through the neck and in the shoulder. A fourth shot, evidently fired by @ man on hors back, passed between his legs, and was found in | the ground. The pistol with ‘wmch he was shot through the head was held so close as to ourn the | handkerchief with which his hat was tied on, | while his neck was also badiy burned from the | close discharge of a pistol. Coroner Hindie, of In- | dependence, was notified, and held an inquest, the | jury returning @ verdict oi “death from gunshot | Wounds at the hands of persons unknown.” Soon aiter three o’clock Wednesday morning Mr. Botts, living about a quarter of a mile irom where the body was found, heard turee or tour shots, and | soon aiter heard hoses galloping by. At four | | o'clock # man owning a brewery near Independ- | ence, on his way to lis Work, 8aW a man ride by on @ bay horse, leading @ gray horse. An omnibus driver going to an early train at Independence | saw the same man, The same person was seen crossing the bridge at Kansas City, going back to | Clay county, at six o'clock. Whicher’s body was buried at Independence on the 12th, and reached this city last evening en route tor Chicago, in charge of Mr. L. L. Angell, of that city. THE MURDERED DETECTIVE was twenty-six years old. His parents live at | Des Moines, lowa, and his young wiie, to whom | he was recently married, lives in Iowa City. Ee was formerly @ sailor, and was mate of @ Vessel plying between New York and the Mediterranean, in the fruit trade. A few years ago he fell 1rom the masthead and broke one of bis ankles, since which time he has abandoned the sea. Wuhicher was five leet eleven inches high, well built, blue eyes, {air complexion, smooth face, with the ex- ception of a light mustache, and was a fine look- ing man, He was # shrewd, sharp man, careful aud discreet, and, though he had only been a de- tective about tiree years, Was considered a first class officer. That he was possessed of woudertul courage 1s testified by his conduct on the occasion | which led to nis death. The report, which had ob- | tained some considerable circulation, that he | talked a good deal about his errand and voasted of what he would do,is contradicted by his well known | discretion and by the testimony of those with whom be conversed at Liberty on his errand. They | Unite in deciarmg that he was extremely quiet and very careful, aud said nothing to convey any idea | } of his purpose to any persons unnecessarily. He was a brave man, and died in the courageous per- | formance of a dangerous duty. Great sympathy | Was expressed for him tn Clay county, and as the citizens there talked with his irtend, Mr. Angell, concerning him, wey even wept. { There is no doubt in the minds of the people in Clay county that WHICHER WAS MURDERED by the James boys, Between Kearney Station and the James place the settlers are all respectable people. It 18 known that the James boys were at home on that Tuesday night—the first time they have been at home ior a year, except jor a day or two after the lowa train robbery. On Thursday night, the 12th, the James boys rode into Kearpey and threatenea fonr persons, saying to them, “if you dont stop your G—d d—d talking about this murder and conhecting our names with it, we Will | BOY ban d—d head off.” Last Sunday night Sheriff Patten learned that they were at home, and set out with another man to find them. When he got to Kearney he beard that six men had been seen at the house the day before. He then got four More men, in hopes, a8 he said, that as their numbers were equal they would come out and fight. They reached the house and searciied all | over the place, but could find nobody. | These men have estavlished A PERFECT TERRORISM in their neighborhood. Everybody is afraid of them, People will not talk about tie murder, or il they do it is only iniow tones and in the seclu- sion of back rooms. The James boys have made hosts of friends by stealing irom the rich and giv- ing to the poor, it is said. They have means o! re- cel 3 timely notice of any steps to troubie them, and Whicher’s fate snows that they do not scruple at desperate measures to relieve tnemselves from molestation, They are a curse to the country in which they live. Clay county is a beautiul and fertile region, yet land 18 worthless, business is dead, no one will go there to live, and all on account ‘of these | desperadoes and the security in which they live. ‘Three of Pinkerton’s best men were detailed to PURSUE THE YOUNGER BROTHERS,’ and left for the woods soon afver the murder of Whicher, They first sent out as a spy one of the | employés of the Iron Mountain Railroad, who came across the men in aravine near Monegaw | Springs, St. Clair county, and was at once cap- | tured, but played his part so adrottly that he was set at liberty and told to leave the country. In- Stead of doing this, however, he hurried to Pinker- ton’4 men and gave them what informatiun he had gathered, and they at once started, on Monday | jast, for the ravine. Although working their points | finely, the detectives did not succeed in wholly | surprising the Youngers, and A BLOODY BUSH PIGHT ‘was the consequence, resulting in the wounding of one of the detectives, the death of a citizen who ‘was with them and the death of John Younger, The detective party then started for the railroad and the Youngers took another direction. The Younger who was killed is said to have been | estate dealing in view of the relief from the heavy A Review of the Market in Respect to Past, Present and Prospective Values. BRINGING HOME PRACTICAL TRUTHS. The Monetary Situation and Its Effect Upon Real Estate. The week which closed on Saturday developed nothing new in respect to real estate, except a corroboration of what has been heretofore said in reference to the position wm which real preerty finds itself, In common with all* ovner interests, it suffers irom the confu. sion introduced inte trade by Mr, Richardson, in varying the standard of value. Thus transactions are embarrassed by the loss of a fixed quantity which would govern them. It is as i, the foot measure being made elastic at the pleasure of one man, the usual 25x100 lot might assume dimen- sions, either greater or 1ess, from day to day ac- cording to the whim of the man who had the power to change the number of inches in the foot, or change the length of the inches, as he might see ft to declare. Of course, under such circam- stances, no business could be transacted. The | present condition of things is not much better. If | we have not lost THE STANDARD MEASURE ofthe foot or inch, we have lost the standard meas- ure of that into which the foot and inch thust be converted to ascertain its value. Real estate, too, is exceptionally subject to the demoralizing in- fNuences of an unstable token of exchange, owing to the delay necessary In its transter, which leaves time enough for a very important change to occur | in respect to value, if the standara be variable, be- | tween the origina! purchase and the final signature | of the deed. in this connection it is worth while so take a slight suggestion from Her Majesty of Englana’s speech at the recent opening of Parlia- ment on this subject. Her Majesty catls the atten- tion of the Lords and Commons of England to the aificulties that stand in the way of real estate conveyance, and asks that some re- lief be extended in that direction, Of course these difficulties are greater than any we have any knowledge of here, from the scarcity of the fee simple in England, Besides the law of primogeniture and ental! there, which leaves only a life interest in the possessor, there is also the fact that much of the real property of England is | held under various forms of lease, largely what is | known as copyhold. We have here no such RESTRICTIVE CONDITIONS affecting our real estate titles, as our common utle here is what is known as the allodium, being the largest form of fee simple. Yet we hamper real estate conveyance, and limit dealings by imposing upon dealers the same expensive forms in order to effect a transfer as prevail in England, where, @s a rule, the ownership of real estate is only @ vartial ownership and a full fee simple in a single individual is rare, It takes thirty days | to convey a piece of property or effect a loan on it— | the best kind of security—not to speak of the ex- pense in the way of searchers’, surveyors’ and con- veyancers’ fees, while aloan can be effected on stocks, frequently of doubtful security, in Jess than | thirty minutes. Now, it would not be unbecoming in us to take a lesson from Her Majesty of England, and while she wishes to bring real estate transters down to the plain practice which prevails here, that we should go ahead even of that and mobilize our real estate into active capital by making it more rapidly exchangeable. WE HAVE A HINT how this could be accomplished in the system which prevails in regard to registered bonds of the United States, When ainan buys a registered bond he does not get a bond. He simply gets a certificate the effect that he owns so much United States stock pay- | ing interest at six per cent gold. He is | recorded on the books of the Treasury Depart- ment as such owner, and when he wants to seil he simply retires his certificate, and the party he sells to takes out a new certificate in hisown name. Why could not some such system be applied to real estate in place of the present cumbersome in- denture, and the system of extravagant charges which it represents? In the Swiss cantons, where experimental government finds its largest oppor- tunity, the practice prevails of vesting the title of aliiand in the municipality, who, as transfers are made, convey the right of possession by avery — simple document. but, uniortunately, honest municipalities are rare outside of Switzerland, and it would be hardly sale to try that experiment here, An imitation of it was sought more than once in an effort to procure the incorporation or a Real Estate Trust Company, that promised to simplity the conveyancing ousiness, and guaran- tee utles. It came, however, just at the period | when the influence of the Boss was decaying, and failed 01 legislative endorsement. ‘This is not what is wanted. It wouid be no reliet to save lawyers’ fees in order to benefit a corporation. Bat some- thing might be done to SIMPLIFY REAL ESTATE CONVEYANCING through the E ghee Registry or Record office, tf, the latest deed being recorded, a simple certificate | referring to that deed couid be made to confer a periect title. A man cannot give what he has not | got; consequently such certificate properly authen- ticated would carry With it all that was in the pre- vious deed, and no amount of copying could do any more. Besides, these certificates might be made negotiable in the Way of effecting loans, if a simple agreement, not necessary more formal than a promissory note attach thereto, were consti- tuted a len upon the property. The effect of a re- form of this kind, in respect to which these are only light touches, would be to stimulate real burden in the way of legal expenses which now weighs upon transactions, it would also in mak- ing loans more readily obtainable give reali estate @ larger Value as available Capital jor the stimula- tion of trade generally. This, with free banking, would enable us to tura our whole capital to use in sustaining alike production and manutacture, apd so give us @ iresh impetus towards cowmer- cial greatness, ‘The refusal of the Legislature, however, to repeal the tax on mortgages, leaves little hope ot anvthing emanatiog from that body calculated to relieve the present, disquietude. Even rapid transit, THAT ACHING VOID In the sphere of our metropolitan labor, seems to be a plaything to them; and there is not dig- nity enough in the New York deiegation to com- mand respectful consideration of the wishes of this | community. From an outsider—Mr, Eastman, of | Poughkeepsie—came the best proposition that has been made on the subject in bis suggestion of a local commission; but since then vota Vander- bilt, of the Fourth avenue, and pee of the Third avenue, have been heard, and succeeded in choking Mr. Eastman off. In respect to values it must be recognized as a@ tact that there is not | likely to be any progress made in the solution of the rapid transit problem this year. Meanwhile, real estate, influenced by the same causes which operate to produce stagnation in other business | departments, 1s entirety without vitality. THERE IS NO MARKET. Since the ist of January last eighty per cent of the sales in the public market have been Jore- closures, and in these the property in most cases has been bought in by the mortgagee. Of the remain- ing twenty per cent they were very largely legal sales, either in partition, by order of executor or administrator, or some other character of eniorced sale. The market has furnished really nothing ouside of sales of this character npon which to form a judgment. Such a condition of things can- not ki and as there 18 no prospect of an active | market based upon large profits in other trade departments stimulating inquiry for investment, the conclusion is forced that as real estate accumulates burdens, whether it appre- ct or dot, so must there be @ determination of value when it comes into market | to relieve itself of those burdens. As was said before, there is no market. ‘The only = in which | one can be created is to bring down values so as to provoke investment. It cannot be done by | maintaining the present firm tront; that has been already clearly demostrated. Prices cannot be put up because there are no bidders, consequentiy the only alternative left is to BRING PRICES DOWN, and seek to create a market. ‘Tuis, of course, Is a matter of inditference to those who do not care to sell, they can afford to await the inevitable reac- when prices will again rebound, but it Is worthy of consideration to those who find them- selves overloaded, and they who soonest avail themselves of tis hint will find the largest Satistaction. The business of this year is not going to result im any considerable addition, if any at all, to the surpiag capital of the nation— capital that can be spared from fresh, active em- ployment—consequentiy there will not be that usual plethora of funds secking Safe investment in real estate that we have had for some years. The result is a very simple logical deduction and no amount of reasoning would suffice to change it REAL ESTATE MUST COME DOWN, AS Was said before, it need not, i it does not seek @ market; but if it does (¢ must find anew plane upon which to rest a basis of values. This argument does not apply to the newly annexed | With rapid transit. | 8826, 3542, 8370, 3560, 1638, | Sutherland, ments, the proceeds of such increased taxes and wssessments being otherwise diverted. Here bave @ curious complication in respect to the cit} government and real estate. verside Par! matter bas been simply a public scandal in respect to the authority which may or may not have the power to vary tne value of real estate in that heighborhood thousands of dollars on a single lot. ‘The wretched economy which has been. practised in the Comptroiler’s oMce tn regard to street im- provements up town has been one of the largest contributing causes to the present condition of the Teal estate market, A larger understanding of the Pine of the situation would nave found the truest economy in pushing forward these improvements, so tliat the enhanced value of the real estate thereby pro- duced would have furnished the bi of an assessment aud tax return that would have rapidly relieved the city of its anticipatory burden of indebtedness. Butone of the weakest | points in our municipas administration is that in this, the chief commercial city of tue Union, the great financial centre of the New Worid, THERE IS NOT A MAN In any prominent position of the city government, or haying any reference to the financial admints- | tration, who has financial understanding enough | to justify him in seeking the presidency of a sav- | ings bank (and here is given the largest limit of his intelligence), not to speak of endeavoring to direct the affairs of so complicated a department. Can real estate thrive uuder such oppressive condi- tions? Imposribje. Real estate in this city must be purged of severalevils, and not tue least of these is the present Comptrolier. The real estate interest, which is one of the largest in the country, 18 peculiarly without Special representation in the councils of public thought, it may, peruaps, think that because of its exceptional excellence it can afford to do with- out such representation.

Albany refused a much required relief to the real estate of this county in denying the appli- cation for the repeal of the tax ou mortgages; but this was done simply because reai estate owners had not made themselves heard as @ body.

Spirited Denunciation of Intruding, Heartless - cientists. PrivaDevPuta, March 22, 1874. Your correspondent spent the closing hours o} yesterday with the sons of the Siamese Twins, Cuang and Eng, tne child of the former being by name Mr. Christopher W. Banker, and the name of the latter Mr. Stephen D. Bunker. Both sons have attained an age slightly beyond manhood; both both have travelled with their parents during their tours of public exhibition; both are strong, healthy and hardy spectmeas of humanity; both, vy their hard service during the war, have familiarized themselves with all the details o! active, energetic life, and, by means of their subsequent wander- ings, each has obtained a thorougu acquaintance with the world, By means of an interview with Mr. Christopher W. Bunker, at which his cousin Stephen was present, your correspondent learns the following interesting particulars :— YOUNG BUNKER’S INDIGNATION. In chancing to take up a California paper, dated the 20th of January, 1574, I first saw the news of my father’s and uncle’s death. The news, of course, startied me, and for the moment Iwas utterly prostrated. I was inadistant land, my father was dead, and the awful news cleaved my heart’s centre like a knife. In my last letter nome Thad stated my intention o/ going to Sacramento, | and, supposing that our family would address me there, I repaired to that place. The day of my ar- | Tival at this far off country I received a letter from my sister, Nannie Bunker, that my father was dead; that neither family knew what to do, and that it was the earnest wish ofall my relations for my immediate return. Hastily disposing of all my business, I at once set out for bome; but upon my arrival at Peoria, Ill, on February 9, Ilearned that the bodies of my father and uncle were on their way for auiopsy at Phila- deiphia, God only knows how I felt when I read this, In her letter my sister assured me that the bodies were buried under the house; that they would be carefully guarded, and that nO disposition would be made of them until my return, I was utlerly disheartened, and I wept. It seemed to me then useless 10 go home, but 1 could not help wondering what unnatural influence had been brougit to bear upon my mother and my auntin order to render them capable of Cisposing of the twain human corpse. {went to Raleigh, N, C., where my deat and dumb sisters were at schooi. 1 jound them in tears and both indignant that the bodies should have been turned over to the doctors, DRATH OF SISTER NANNIE. My dear and beloved sister Nannie died on Febe ruary 17, one month to aday from the hour of my father’s demise; while 1 arrived at Mount on the 18th of February, twenoty-iour hours after her demise, Tat once wrote to my cousin, Who was then in Kansas City, Mo., to come home, and he immediately came. ‘All of us who had moved in the world, who had familiarized ourselves suffi- clently with promiscuous humanity to appre- ciate its feelings and its whims, at once sternly upbraided our reiatives for allow. ing the bodies to pass from them, and some- what sternly demanded the cause. mother and aunt stated that they had veea infuenced by the arguments tusinuated upon them by Mr. R. S. Gillmer, who during their lives seemed io my father aud uncle ® Most intimate friend. Gill- mer advised everything, and thus trampled to earth my own and my cvusin’s best and most deli- cate feelings, His whole idea was to have the bodies exhibited, and he pressed nis ends upon our psrents by adroitly mentionin; the great pecuniary benefits likely tw result fro! the autopsy and subsequent exhibition, All these things were repngnent to me and to my cousin, Stephen D, We, found that our parents had been | buried like common animals in a rude, unplaned peed box, in the construction of which nothing had een made use Of save the hammer and saw. Gill- | mer planned, advised and instituted the whole ; business, and despite what the physicians say. I believe, and 80 does my cousin, that he did so lor | his own peculiar views, Let me tell you what this man aid. He over- hauled my father’s will; he examined al his | private papers, and after giving im/ormation to the ERALD correspondent, asked him if be did not | think the news afforded was worth a year or two’s subscription to your paper. Had 1 known Mr. | Gillmer was so anxious to get the ABRALD I would have subscribed jor it during aa indefinite term of years myself ratuer than td have had nim ne- gotiate between my mother and the Philadelphia physicians. Gilimer’s whole idea was to have the Bodtes shown; and | say, bg alike 1 that Gill- mer has outraged our entire iamily. Had either myself or my cousin been at home we would have defended the bodies even until our own death, NO MONEY FROM THE AUTOPSY. I deny that my mother or my aunt until this hour have received one cent for the bodies, nor ” | shall elther our mothers or ourselves receive one | cent jor their exhibition in future. When we | looked upon the bodies of our parents to-day they | were nothing like our parents mm actual life, ‘They were lean, gaunt and dreadfully changed, pale, emaciated and unnatural Jooking, so much so that my cousin there almost fainted upon be- holding them, How deeply [ regret that I was not at home when they died! J would have given them a decent and a quiet burial, and none bat those we loved would have been per- mitted to gaze upon them, As tt is | now, our best, truest, most sympathetic feel- } ings’ have been outraged, @ so-called scientitic | group have intrnded within the domains of a private family; and my mother, my aunt, my | cousin, along With ail our family, are reported to have disposed of these bodies in order to derive | personal gain. CARRYING BACK THE TWINS. We leave for howe to-night. We carry ourown | dead atong with us. So cunningly did Gilmer work | tnat, as Dr. Allen, of Philadelphia, said to me to-night, the contract woul have been nuil and void, not worth the paper it was | transcribed upon, because it was written on | Sunday. When the bodies arrive at Mount Airy | all our intimate friends and neigabors will be per- | mitted to look upon them. O, how I wish thas there were something to Redes) the effect of the embalmment! How I wish that the infinence ofthe injected fluid might be dispelled and that the bouies might quickly decay! Asit is they will be the same fifty years hence as they are to-day, I fear after they are buried they may be stolen. Several parties have already travelied hundreds of miles to visit my mother and have asked her that they might be permitted to make contracts for their future extibition, A CHRISTIAN FUNERAL TO BEB PERFORMED, A8 soon as We arrive liome a funeral service will be preached. But, alas! we carry back to our home only the sheils of our fathers; their lungs, livers and entrails are now in the hands of the doc- tors. The doctors tell us vhat if the families re~ guest it they will all sent down | here after us, When our parents died the final ‘ave was dug in that plot of ground within which rest the other members of our family. It was our mothers’ wish chat the twins should be buried, but when the man Gillmer came along, he who had already during lije been apparently my father’s and my uncie’s dearest Mend and adviser, they could not resi nis ap Twins be peal, Never, never, shall the Siamese seen again, We have not received one cent for the autopsy, nor shall we ever exhibit the bodies. It would Kill us to do so, No extremity could possibly induce us, while for the public comment already made, for the undve advantage taken of us, for the extent to which our own sacred aud beloved dead have been paraded fn false and uunatural Colors in the public press, we have nothing but regret, sorrow aud tears, THE FORT SILL INDIAN DEPREDATIONS, A special despatch to the Galveston ews from San Antonio, Texas, March 16, says:— ‘The latest, of the 8th Inst,, from Fort Sill con. veys information that one of the surveyors of Mr. Hockbush’s party was recently murdered north- west of the Wichita Agency, in the Indian Terrt- tory, by @ party of Reservation Indians, in con- sequence of which the whole party broke up their camp and ceased labor, A private letter of the 9th tnat, from Presidio del Norte states that the Apacies, who recently were anxious to bave a talk with Colonel Bliss on the subject of going to a reservation, had a fight among themselves, in which several were kilied and woanded, It ts thought that they will go back to the Saute Rosa mountains, WORKINGMEN'S CENTRAL COUNCIL, The Workingmen’s Central Council propose calk ing @ mass meeting of the working classes this week, for the purpose of demanding the abolition of the contract system in the construction of pul» lic works; for the removal of government agents who have practised fraud, in order to violate the Eignt Hour taw, on the New York Post Office and about twenty-eight years old, @ dart ellow aud hard custome a Tall district, where values have not been forced up by the feverish, stimulating excitement | teen years, who was found lying dead in Ninth oF projected improvements not yet real- | avenue, nis death, it ts supposed, having been wed, and the land overburdened witn taxes | caused by failing down an embankment, De- and assessments npon & _ vatuation are | comes lived at Seventy-sixth street and Ninth tha prosecuuon of heap jmproye: | avenue «= »,, elsewhere, They also propose to present and dis cuss & plan of co-operation for the building traae sighs uan fl Rubtate etnaas ae al ni eee ha acu ‘dma elevation and bene
