River, Mass., Oct, 1, 1875. Twenty-eight mills visited this morning show a largo increase on yesterday’s numbers, despite the efforts made at the Park meeting yesterday by a few of the leaders to induce the help to still remain away from work, with the expectation of coercing the manufac- turers in a week or ten days to reconsider and modify their document, Large numbers of new help are being received from Connecticut, Maine, New Hampsbire and Lawrence. Nearly all the mills have their full comple- ment of spinners, The weavers are a little more back- ward, but the relays arriving on every train from other places will soon fill the vacant places of the disaffected ones, if they do not return to work, Numbers of the help have jost their old positions, which are taken by outsiders, and that in itseif has been a great induce- ment-to an early application on the part of many. The difficulty is now virtually ended, The military and police are on duty, but no disturbances are reported, THE MURDERER CASEY. TERMINATION OF THE TRIAL YESTERDAY—VER- DICT OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE— SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE—A DETERMINED PREPARATION FOR SUICIDE. Newrorr, R. 1, Oct: 1, 1875. A few witnosses were heard to-day in the trial of BR. L, Casey for the murder of his wife, mainly to corrobo- rate the testimony offered yesterday. At ten o’clock his counsel addressed the jury in his behalf and endeav- ored to impress their minds with the fact that the prisoner had by his wifo’s repeated infidelity been wrought up to such a state as to make him unaccount- able for the terrible deed with which he was charged. He told them that he did not have time to look into the case as he had only been assigned by the Court as pris- oner’s counsel the day previous. He did not think justice could be done, and he regretted that the Court insisted that the trial should go on, He, however, made an eloquent appeal, which was listened to with strict at- tention. He was followed by the Attorney General, who believed the prisoner guilty of premeditated mur- der, and did not believe that the jury could bring in any other verdict, He was very severe in his remarks, and they had the desired effect, for, after a brief charge of Chicf Justice Durfee, the jury retired, and, after being out only fifteon minutes, brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. This even surprised the Judge, and there were not twenty persons in tho town who believed otherwise than that the verdict would be manslaughter in the second or third degree. He had neither friends, wit- nesses or money. IMPRISONED FOR LIPR. After recess the Attorney Genéral moved for sen- tence in Casey’s case, whereupon the Clerk requested him to stand up. The Court then informed him that he had been found guilty of murder in the first degreo and that the Court sentenced him to_ be imprisoned for and during the term of his natural life, from and after the lst day of October, 1875, 2n the State Prison at Providence, in the county of Providence, and there keptat hard labor. The prisoner did not seem to realize his situation and appeared as calm as he did at any time during the trial. He shook hands with his counsel and thanked him for the interest he had taken in his bebalf, PREPARING FOR SUICIDE, Captain Hammond then took him in charge, intend- ing to remove him to Providence an hour later, but bo- fore so doing searched his clothing, and it was fortunate he did, for between the ning and cloth of his vest he found s two ounce phial of laudanum. He evidently expected what the Verdict would be, and bad deter- mined to end his miserable life before going to prison. A sickly smile came over bis face as this, his only hope, was frustrated. Evidently he was | determined’ to commit suicide, as another phial of laudanum was found in his cell, | which he stated to a reporter he was determined to drink if he was taken to his former quarters before | being removed to Providence, and that secreted in his | vest was for use in caso he was taken direct trom the court room to the depot. Captaim Hammond tmmediately handcuffed him and | removed him to Providence, where be was lodged im prison to-night, CASEY'S SICKNESS. Owing to his obstinacy in retusing to have the ball extracted from his back, which has been there since June 11, tho day of the tragedy, he is not expected to live any great length of time. In consequence of this ball he is a great sufferer, THE JEFFERSON BORDEN MUTINY. SMITH AND MILLER FOUND GUILTY OF MUR- DER—GLEW ACQUITTED—A MOTION IN AR- REST OF JUDGMENT. * Bostox, Mass., Oct, 1, 18° | After a ten days? trial the case of the Jefferson Bor- | don mutineers is concluded, a verdict being reported this morning. The jury took the case at half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning, and at eight last night a verdict was agreed upon, though it was not made public owing to an adjournment of the Court. ‘When the court rdom was opened this morning a crowd of persons completely filled the space allotted to specta- tors, and upon the coming in of the judges all the room was taken up. The jury camo down from their room at half-past nine and took their seata, | THE VERDICT. After the usual formalities of polling were gone through with, the question as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants was put to the foreman, who pro- nounced William Smith and George Miller guilty and | John Glew not guilty of the murder of Coridon Trask _ Patterson, Glew, it will be remembered, is the man who came into the conspiracy at the eleventh hour | under threat of the others that they would kill him if | he did not He did pot do the actual killing of tho mates, but stood ready with @ capstan bar to render | what aid was necessary. He was also terribly wounded by bullets from the captain's pistol while he was im- prisoned in the forecastic, and will probably be a crip- ple for life. He cannot now stand without crutches. OTHER INDICTMENTS. ‘There are still indictments against Glew for the mur- der of the second mate, Charles A, Patterson, who was | actually killed by Smith by being knocked trom the | Jibboom, and another for mutiny on board the | schooner, He will probably be tried’ for the latter | offence, DEMBANOR OF THR PRISONERS, ‘The prisoners took the verdict calmly and without exhibiting any emotion, as they had—certainly in the cases of Smith and Miller—anticipated the resuit, IN THR JURY Room. As stated this morning, a large portion of the timo occupied by the jury was taken up in diseusamg the case of Glow, They were unanimous from the start as to the guilt of the others. A MOTION IN ARREST. At twolve o’clock Mr. George Sennot, counsel for | Smith, made a motion in arrest of judgment, which, he intimated, ho should submit early in ‘the case, ‘the round being that the indictment jailed to set forth in | i averments that the Court had jurisdiction in tho matter, The motion will be argued to-morrow, If it | Should be allowed the effect will be to break up and | nullify the whole proceedings. If it is not allowed the prisoners, Smith and Miller, will probably be sentenced at that time, A SCHOONER ASHORE. Kixosrox, Ont, Oct. 1, 1875.

THE ARMORY OF THE CLAYTON VOLUNTEERS BRO- KEN INTO—TWENTY-ONE GUNS TAKEN—AFTER A SEARCH, DISCOVERED IN A SCHOOL ROOM— EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE EXECUTION OF GEORGE SPEER ON FRIDAY. Jonnsnono’, Ga., Oct 1, 1875. Ever since the recent trial of the negroes for at- tempted insurrection, the white people, in localities where the negroes outnumber them, have been in @ atate of anxiety and watchful and suspicious of their movements. The acquittal of those who were tried has had its effect on others, and led to the formation of many new organizations, They manage to keep their movements and objects a secret, and area source of annoyance to peacefully disposed people. STEALING GUNS. On Monday night last the armory of the Clayton Volunteers, at this plave, was broken into by means of log hooks, with which the door was forced open and twenty-one of the company’s muskets were stolen. Late that night Marshal Maddox discovered the theft and notified Captain J. M. Smith of it, Suspicion at once pointed to the negroes, and a large number of citizens and members of the company gathered together and instituted a search throughout the entire town. The houses of some leading negroes, who make it a business to harangue their Yellows on all occasions, were searched, but without success, The colored churches and schoolkouses were next entered, and in a school- house near the suburbs of the town twenty of the twenty-one guns were found. The houso was locked, and in it, hidden away under a large blackboard, the guns were concealed. They were carried back to town and replaced in the armory, which was then put under guard. The whites and blacks here are at swords’ points and there is scarcely @ doubt that the negroes stole the guns, A number of guns and a quantity of ammunition were locked up in the armory, but in the hurry of the robbery they were not seen, A LYNCH LAW TROURLE. Some four mouths ago a negro named George Speer was arrested for an outrage on a white girl twelve years of ago, and convicted and sentenced to be hanged ‘On the 8th inst., at Fayetteville, about eight miles dis- ‘tant. About two weeks after he was arrested another hegro, whose name no one will tell, was found dead, with his body mutilated. He had committed an outrage on a white girl also, and some one hunted him.down and killed him, Since the latter affuir the negroes assert that the man who was killed was guilty of both crimes, and that George Speer shall not sufler for his offence. Speer was convicted on the evidence of the girl who was outraged, and sent to Fayette County Jail, eight iniles from here, Owing to the threats made he was removed to Fulton County Jail, in Atlanta, where he will remain till the time appointed for his execution. During last week the negroes have met every evening, in large numbers, mysteriously and suspiciously. “DRTTER LEAVE TOWN.” fs A negro school teacher, named Bailey, Attempted gome time ago to put a negro woman in the ladies’ car on the Macon and Western Road and got in trouble about it with some white Sen aps told him that he had better leave town, This has added fuel to the fire, and a disturbance is watched for, On Friday next Speer will be brought from AUanta to Jonesboro, the nearest point on the railroad to Fayetteville, to be taken eight miles across the country to that point for execution, It will be the duty of the Clayton volun- toers to accompany the Sheriff and his prisouer here, There, it is supposed, the company’s guns were stolen to leave the Sherif! unguarded and strengthen the chances of arescue. No arrests have as yet been made and whatever information the authorities have they keep to themselves. BOR SMITI’S GUN. A nogro named Bob Smith was seen carrying a gun on Wednesday at dusk, He was brought to task, but denied its being one of the twenty-one, and brought a rusty old musket to Captain Smith ag'the one seen in his possession. The boy who saw him with a gun says thatit is not the same one he saw with him, It had a bright, shining butt and stinging strap attached, while the one shown by the negro has neither strap nor strap fustening and is stained and rusty. There isc lerable excitement around tho town, and next Friday, the day of the execution, 1s looked for: ward to with considerable anxiety. EXPLOSION OF ALCOHOL. A COFFIN WORKS BURNED AND FOUR MEN SE- BIOUSLY INJURED BY ALCOHOLIC VAPORS. Lovisyinur, Ky., Oct, 1, 1875, An explosion of alcoholic vapors occurred in the Louisville Coitin Works this morning, setting fire to the establishment and buruing four men, two seriously. The tire was first occasioned by two boys who entered. the cellar with a lamp, the glass frame of which was broken in drawing alcohol from a barrel and a slight fire was caused by the ignition of some alcohol by the lamp flame, and in their haste to get out of the cellar the boys forgot to turn off tho fancet of the barrel, and though the James were soon extinguished the alcohol continued towing, and wh several men went into the cellar a short time afterward with another lamp, an explosion occurred, Eli Johnson, the foreman, was dangerously burned on the head, face and body. Henry Risley was burned in the same way. John Yeager was burned on the arms, face and head. The first two, it is supposed, will die from their inju- ries, but the last is not seriously injured. William Reynolds was also bufned severely while assisting in extinguishing the flames, which soon enveloped and de- stroyed half of the establishment. The loss is esti- mated at $12,000, with an insurance of half the amount in the following companies :—Peunsylvania, ot Pennsyl- vania; Firemen’s Fund, of New York; Northwestern National, of Milwaukee, and Farmers aud Drovers’, ot Louisville, $1,500 each. THE FUNERAL OF O'BALDWIN. FULFILMENT OF THE REQUEST OF THE DYING GLADIATOR—THE BODY REMOVED TO BOSTON AND PLACED IN CHARGE OF THE BROTHERS SHEA—INTERMENT IN HOLYHOOD CEMETERY, Bosrow, Oct. 1, 1875. When all prospects of the late Ned O’ Baldwin's recov- ery from the wounds inflicted by his assassin Finnell seemed gone the dying gladiator expressed the wish that his remains should be interred in alot which held ali that was mortai of his brother, and while the sands of life were rapidly ranning out he requested that the Brothers Shea, of this city, would take charge of his funeral and eee that his body had Christian burial. This request was telegraphed to Messrs, James D. and Jobn Siea, and they consulted with others who had knowa and associated with the deceased in his palmy days. Arrangements were made tor carry- ing out the dying wish of the man, and when the re- maius arrived here trom New York, in charge of Mr, Cassidy, the casket was removed to the house of Mr. McCatirey, an undertaker on Albany street, and during Thursday night a large number viewed the remains. ‘The funeral of the deceased exponent of the ‘manly art” took place this afternoon from the undertakers residence on Albany sireet, and nearly 1,000 persons, among whom were many Women, congregated in the vieiity to witness the departure of the cortége, It was proposed to hold services in St. James’ Catholic charch, on Harrison avenud, but as the Boston clergy ' had no knowledge that O’faldwin had received the rites of the Church before death this proposition was necessarily abandoned, but services were held.in the house, Rev, Father Douegan officiating. The cere- monies were very brief, and were finished at half past two o’clock P.M. The remains were then taken to the Holyhood Cemetery, Brookline, where they were interred, The pall bearers were Messrs. James H, Griffin, John Shea, Eugene McCarthy, James D. Shea, Thomas J, Denuy and James Gainey, O'Baldwin's only relatives in Boston are twosisters, THE SINEY AND PARKS TRIAL. YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS IN THE MINERS’ CONSPIRACY CASE—MR. CARPENTER’S OPEN- ING FOR THE DEFENCE. CLeaRriRLD, Pa., Oct, 1, 1875, In the Siney and Parks trial to-day the prosecutions concluded with their principui witness, Captain Thomas E, Clark, of Philadelphia, who corroborate’ the pre- vious witnesses. Mr. Carpenter then opened for the defence as fol- jows:— While the indictment inthis case was undoubtedly good, because it set out with’ great detail and pa Ularity the nature of the combination and tm agreed upon to carry it into execution, it cast upor Commonwealth thé burden of proving the conspiracy as laid, It could not be charged in the indictment that the defendants entered into a conspiracy to accomplish & purpose by specified illegal means, and their gonvietion bo ,had upon proof of another object, or tho uccomptishment of the same object by other means, To insure the conviction of Sines and Parks the jury must believe from the testimony that a combination had been formed between them and others, or between others, and that they subsequently became parties to it, because this was necessary in order to accomplish the precise purpose of the indictment by the precise means charged in the indictment, Siney and Parks, in doing the several things alleged against them, acted as officers of the Miners’ National Union. These were legal acts, and could not be assigned against the de- fendants as criminality, The Commonwealth bad at- tempted to establish that the detendants, as officers of the Miners’ National Union, were conspirators ex officio, but the constitution and bylaws of the association negatived this shasge and showed that the policy of the association was to discountenance strikes except as a dernier resort, and that when resorted to they should be confined to mere suspension of work, and all violence should be avoided. The conduct of Siney and Parks was clearly within this undoubted right, and all the evidenco established that this was a peaceful exer- cise of rights as contradistingu!shed from a turbulent, drunken or dissolate disturbance of the peace, nothing having been done which the law did not authorize, The argument to tho jury will be mado by F. W. Hughes for the defence, aud by Senator Wallace for the prosecution, A FAILURE IN THE LUMBER TRADE, SUSPENSION OF SHEPARD, HALL & CO., OF BOS- TON—CAUSE OF THE FAILURE—HALF A MIL- LION OF THE FIRM’S PAPER HELD BY BOSTON BANKS. Bosrow, Oct. 1, 1875. ‘The extensive lumber firm of Shepard, Hall & Co., of this city, have suspended payment, their liabilities amounting to $1,500,000, This failure is due partly to general depression in business, low price, a small de- mand for lumber, and partly to losses incurred in busi- ness @ year ago last July. A large lumber firm in Canada failed with indebtedness to Messrs. Shepard, Hall & Co. of over $400,000, This estate has been in liqui- dation ever eince, and, though an effort is about to be made to declare a dividend to creditors, it hag become evident it will be but a partial payment of claims This fact, coupled with the circumstance that $180,000 of the paper of the delinquent Cana- dian firm, indorsed by Shepard, Hall & Co., will fall due next month led the firm to the conclusion that they could not meet maturing liabilities, and hence their suspension. They hope, however, to make a good ex- hibit of assets, as, in the first of the year, when an ac- count of stock was taken, they had quite a largo surplus. They are now engaged in making upa list of assets and liabilities, and hope to be able to call a meeting of creditors by the middle of next week, when they will be prepared with their statement. They will probably ask for an extension, which they hope will enable them to recover from their embarrassment. They have a branch house in Montreal, in which city their liabilities will foot up about $150,000, divided be- tween two banks, ond holding $100,000 of their paper and tho other $50,000, In Boston the failure of this house has created some stir in Snancial circles a3 well as in the lumber trade. {tis said that Boston banks hold nearly $500,000 of their paper.

A REWARD FOR LIFE SAVING.: QurnKo, Oct. 1, 1875, Tho British government have sent outa gold ahd a silver watch for presentation to Mr. E. Pope and his assistant, lighthouse keepers at Anticosti, for saving the lives of the wrecked crew of the bark Russia, THE DIRECT CABLE. The Superintendent in this city of the Direct United States Cable Company announees that the Faraday will leave England on Wednes- day, to repair the broken cable, The manager of the company asserts that thero 1s no truth in the report that an agreement had been arrived at with the Anglo-American Company on the subject of tariff They will maintain entire independence of the latter company, and will f1x their rato on the reopening of communication, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Wachtel’s first appearance at the Academy of Music |@vill bo in “Les Huguenots, ”? The English critics are delighted to find that Mr. Toole brought no ‘‘Americanisms” back to the London stage, * : Mile, Albani has finished her engagement at Le Fenice in Vienna, and goue to England to take part in the Norwich festival. It is said that Miss Edith Wynne, the English actress, is going to marry an American lawyer with the rather remarkable name of Mr. Avict Agubeg. Qn the occasion of his benefit, on Friday evening of next week, Mr. Belmore will appear as Newman Noges, in “Nicholas Nickleby,’ a character in which heis famous. Mr. Morris Moore, an English author, has written a pretty little comedy, in one act, in Italian, It is en- titled “Il Falcone,” and has been played in Rome with great success. Mme. Adelina Patt laid the first stone of the Central London Hospital for Diseases of the Ear and Throat on the 16th ult., and manifested her personal interest in tho work by a gift of £100, Tom Taylor’s drama, “The Overland Route,” which is to be produced at Wallack’s on Tuesday, was played at what all theatre-goers remember as the ‘old house,’? Broome strect and Broadway, with the great Wallack favorites, including Mra, Hoey and Mary Gannon, in the cast, Of all Mr. Taylor's pieces it is, perhaps, the most delicious, and it cannot fail to be very attractive both to those who saw it before and to the new generation of Playgoers, , Mr. George Rignold has had a little unpleasantness with some of the Baltimore theatre-goers. On Saturday night part of the audience left the theatre at the crisis of the closing, when Mr. Rignold rebuked them from the stage, and rung down the curtain before the per- formance was finished. The rebuke had good resulta, and the play is no longer interrupted by people rush- ing en masse out of the theatre just before the close of the last act. A correspondent of the London Era refers to the fact that with many English actors and actresses a tour in America is now almost as much a matter of course as a tour in the provinces, and hopes that before many years the English and American stage, like English and Amer- can literature, will be practically identical, All this is true, but the claim for a preponderance of talent for the Enghsh stage is unfounded, the want of reciprocity in the exchange being duo to the fact that Amorican artists in England are not encouraged as are English artists in America, ALL UPRERTENDOM USES GLENN’S SULPHUR.
