—— ee, A CRACKSMAN'S BRIDE. Sad History of the Wife of William Burke. BROKEN-HEARTED A Singular Episode of the Search for Stewart's Body. ELLA. Ella Wright, alias Baker, alias Burke, the reputed wife of the man whose arrest by ( iu Byrnes, of the Fifteenth precinct, and subsequent committal in default of $5,000 bail, for complicity in the robbery of the Stewart yault, in St. Mark's churchyard, caused 0 much excitement, speculation and contye- versy. has a singular and in many respects touching history, if all that she says of herself be strictly true, It was on last Tuesday evening after she had seen the doors of Jetferson Market Prison locked upon her husband that this strange woman hastened to the corner of Thirteenth street and Second avenue to keep the appointment she had made before with the HeEnracp reporter. ‘The clock in the steeple of Dr. ‘Tyng’s church near by had just tolled seven, and the avenue wus, comparatively speaking, deserted when the writer stood under the lamp at the corner so ax to be seen by her if she were hidden anywhere near by waiting for him. The officer on that post moved up Second avenue, after suspiciously surveying the watcher, and then was lost in the gloom and darkness haif a block away. The Henaup man had just resolved to retire, bel ing that the woman had repented her engagement and would not keep tryst, when she stood beside him. Where she had come from he could not tell, A second before he was leaning against the street lamp- post, absolutely alone on the broad sidewalk, Yet here she was with her hand on his shoulder and her dark eyes fixed upon his face “You thought I wasn’t coming,” said she, “Nay; don’t deny it. I can divine your thoughts by the look of chagrin I see fading from your countenance. You would have gone away had I been a minute later, You will not floubt my word when you know me better. I never break a promise, no matter how slight. Come with me!” IN A STRANGE PLACE. Saying this she thrust her hand, as a matter of course, through the reporter's arm, or, rather, laid it on his arm, and remarked:—"I am going to take you now to ® place where I am well known and where we may converse at our ease.” “That's what I desire; and I hope you'll be as frank with me as you promised to be and as Burke assured me you would be,”’ “Never fear; I'll tell you all about this wretched business,” quoth she, with a sigh, The next minute we had reached the private en- trance of a saloon in Thirteenth street. It is quite pretentious in appearance and was brightly lighted in front. The private entrance, however, was completely enshrouded by the darkness; no light above or through its chinks indicated its location. The wo- man touched the secret latch with familiar fingers ané ‘we stood in a well lighted passage leading to a second door, beyond which was a room covered with saw- dust, shut off from the outer world by curtained and baize doors, and occupied by knots of men, who sat at small tables apart from each other and conversing in low tones. No quieter groups were ever seen ina place of the kind in this city. They talked more than they drank and seemed utterly oblivious of each other's presence. The slightest pos- sible elevation of an eyebrow here and there, or the drooping of an eyelid was the only sign of recogni- tion detected by the reporter as he strode after his singular companion past the tables to one in afar corner of the room. FACE TO FACE WITH ANONY3fA. ‘We took chairs and were vis-i-vis, separated only by the narrow table. We sat gazing straight into each other's faces, mentally measuring the character and Purpores that might be read there. “Well, Mrs. Burke, why did you make this ap- pointment?” said the writer. “To show you just what is behind Captain Byrnes’ secusation.”” ‘Then she related all she knew about the arrest, the hunt in New Jersey, Burk«’s attack of the delirium. tremens and her expectatio: With all these the -public have been acquainted by the Henatp before; , but during the recital the opportunity to observe and. study the strange being fore him enabled the writer to obtain impressions, and led afterward to the narrative of a history as curious as any related by some popular novelists. The woman, though over thirty and sorrow stricken, was singularly interesting—almost beauti- ful. She had been very beantiful, beyond a doubt, and there were traces of retinement and culture in her manner that not ¢ the association with burglars and desperadocs could obliterate, She was © = naturally; her hair was that light brown which ‘assumes many lighter and deeper shades under different ctreumstances, Her eyes were dark brown and large. Her nose was of the purest Grecian type, with delicate, sensi- tive nostrils, suggestive in the highest degree of a keen intellect and quick discernment. Her mouth wax small—the upper lip short and decisive, the nether fulland passionate. But it was her chin and broad, low, clean cut forehvad that gave the expres- sion of power and will to her face. Her form was of the medium height, slender, but perfect in contour, and her hands were small and shapely. Sho dressed. soberly and faultlessly, and on the avenue or fash- fonable side of Broadway would be regarded by acute Teaders of character as a lady of good family and gen- ile breeding, AN OUTCAST FROM HOME AND FRIENDS. “Now that you have told me all about your hus- . cannot you relate some of the incidents of your own life?

Will you, in return for the interest taken in your husband's case, tell me something of yourseit? 0 vulgar curiosity prompts the question,” said the writer. “Ah! ha! ha!” Janghed she, quietly. men like yon want to know of women ii & burglar's mistress, counterfeiter's every ‘an alien from good society. “T want to write your history, if you will let mo, as & warning to others.

MICHAEL MURPHY, CoftVICTED OF MURDER ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, PARDONED BY GOVERNOR ROBINSON—SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE OF HIS INNOCENCE, The Governor yesterday pardoned Michael Murphy, who was serving @ life seutence in the Penitentiary for the murder of Mrs. Matilda Hujus, at Nanuet, Rockland county, N. Y., on the 29th of April, 1874. It will be remembered by the readers of the Henrarp that after Murphy's trial and conviction he was sentenced to be hanged, and # stay of his execn- tion was had upon appeal to the General Term of the court, whereat the sentence was affirmed. He ‘was then re-sentenced before the Brooklyn Court which tried him, and on that terrible occasion stood up’ before the full Bench and fervpnily called God to witness that he was innocent of the prime for which he was todic, His sentence was tpnimuted to penal servitude for life by Governor, ‘Nilden, in order to afford an opportunity for the friends of the unfortunate man to have his case more thoroughly investigated. Governor Robinson took the matter under advisement, had it sifted to the bottom, and the result is a fall pardon to Marphy, who now re- turns to the bosom of his family vindicated and ex- onerated. His counsel, Mr, Henry J. Daly, was un- peaeot his time and efforts on behalf of Murphy, whom he always held to be innocent. STORY OF THE CRIME. The circumstances of the murder for which Michael Murphy was sentenced are brietly these:—At fifteen minutes after eight o'clock on Sunday evening, April 19, 1874, Mrs. Matilda Hujus, forty years of age: Kob- ert Gamble, aged forty-four, and Kathrina Bonthomy, a Bohemian servant, were sitting around a stove the parlor of a two-story frame house on the main street of Nanuet conversing together. Though Mrs, Hujus’ husband was living she appears have borne a bad name about the village. Rumor had it that Robert Gamble was on terms of criminal intimacy with her, Suddenly, while the three persons were conversing together, Mred flash was seen aud a loud vibrating re- port heard in the direction of the farthest window, in acorner of the room, and Mrs, Hujus fell forward on the carpeted floor in a dying condition, riddled with large way shot. She arose for an instant in her agony, her eyes roliing wildly, exclaimed “oh Jesug!’” fell to the tloor again, and died within an hour from the time she was shot. Gamble, who was sitting in a direct line with Mrs. Hujus, received seven of the leaden pellets in the face. Wout and bleeding, he made his way to his bedroom, leaned against the wail, and, staggering round, «lid hie hands down the door, and then fell on his knees to look for his pistols, which were concealed in the bed, The irl ran into the adjoining room, and a Little boy, Ibert, who had in the meantime come in, cried out in his fright, “Don't shoot, papal Don't shoot any more.” Gamble said that he crossed the street to a hogse kept by a man named Corsa, and a tavern keeper named Kidner stated that he found a greasy cwp and a red and yellow paper mask outside the house and under the window whence the shot came. ‘Two arrests on suspicion were made—Michael Murphy, the man who was pardoned yesterday, his brother Thomas, the former a blacksmith and the latter a trackman, both of them residents of Hud- son City, N.J., and both reported to be of excellent character. The only possible reason for their arrest ‘was the bare fact that their sister, Margaret J. Fulton, then an attractive young widow, married Robert Gam- bie in 1866, and lived with him for two years on a $7,000 farm bought with Mrs, Gambie's money, Gamble took Mrs. Hujus into the houxe against the express wishes of his wife. Mrs, Gamble brought her hus- band $125,000, left by her former husband, and died suddenly, under suspicious circumstances, on the 9d of August, 1868, while Mrs. Hujus was living sean- dalonsly in company with Gamble, Her barial was sudden, secret, and withontany religions ceremonies, #o that it was only through the New York press that her relatives heard of her Fad fate, Meantine Gamble had, through @ reconveyance made of a supposed will ot his wite, acquired ‘possession of Her relatives had the body disinterred, amination Gamble and Mrs. Huj a charge of complicity in canning meconie ackl and crude morphia om dis- ing been covered in her stomach.

DRIVEN BY HUNGER TO STEAL, When Mary Murphy, @ poverty stricken looking woman, Was arraigned before Justice Bloom, in the First District Court, Brooklyn, yesterday on a charge of stealing a fow dollars’ worth of clothing trom Mrs, Alecia McGee, of Atlantic avenne, near Fifth avenue, she wept a# she told the Judge that she hed been driven to steal by hunger.

Dey street was notso bad but it would look all the better for being swept, and Cortlandt street, between Greenwich and West streets, was marked by occasional piles of garbage. Liberty street, between the same blocks, was couspicuonsly dirty, and Cedar, between enwich and Broadway, was littered with filthy straw and manure, Albany streot, extending from Greenwich to West, fae @ very old and worn pavement, full of ruts in the middle and difficult to clean, Morris is another street that badly needs both paving and cleaning, and is at present in a disgracetul condition, South William street, off Broad, is a place of considerable business, but it seems to be greatly neglected and cannot have seen a broom ina month. Hanover street, another s been equally overlooked and needs of the Department of Public Works as well as the Sireet Cleaning Bureau, Fletcher street, off Pearl, is wretchedly paved, and Platt street is in about the same condition. if ‘THE DIRTY STREET PAR EXCELLENCE. Cherry street carries off the palm for filth and neglect. The variety of rubbish that might have beon seen there yesterday was perfectly bewildering, There was a great quantity of old hats and boots lying around, mingled with bits of carpet, oileloth, torn linen, broken baskets, barrel poe and heaps of decayed Vegetables and slops of all sorts, The paving wes broken here and there, and mud puddles throwing out an unsavory odor were to be inet with at every few feet. Children by the score were in front of almost every tenement, playing in the dirt and looking no cleaner than the street itself, Drunken sailors rolled off the sidewalks and splashed the filthy water all around them, and slatternly women issued from narrow alleyways and cmptied the contents of various household vessels over the cnurbstone, When the street was last cleaned it would be difficult to say, and judging from its appearance yesterday it might have been a year ago. WHERE THE BROOM is WANTED, Dover street requires cleaning and paving, and James street is in a most offensive condition, with ps of uncollected garbage strewed along both sides of it, Its pavement is of the most objectionable kind and is as rough asa mountain road. Pike and Rutgers streets, where tenement houses abound and the smuil boy ‘is multiplied ad infinitum, are sadly overlooked, and appear as if they had not been swept in a decade. Jefferson street is not alone wretchedly paved, but is filthy besides. The east end of Madison street is black with mud, and Essex street, between Canal and Rivington, is lined with garbage that over- flowed from inadequate pails and — barrels, On this street the tenement houses swarm with people, and if any street demands being well looked after it is certainly this, yet its condition is such that it isno wonder the wa is struck by the sickly looks of the women and children he encounters therein. The pavement is even worse than most of those composed of cobblestone, and pools of stagnant water are formed that will remain until either trozen over by the winter's frost or dried up by the sum- mer’s sun, Ludlow street, which is only one block to the west and is also a street of tenement houses, is quite in contrast to Essex, for the reason that it is paved with block and is thus more amenable to the broom of Rim MORE OF SAME KIND.

The report of the Commissioners of Accounts (Messrs. John H. Mooney and L., Howe) on the exami- nation of the affairs of the Street Cleaning Bureau was Published in the Hxnaup yesterday morning, and in reference to that report a HemaLp feporter called on Captain Gunner, Superintendent of the Street Clean- ing Bureau, in the afternoon, He found him st the stables foot of East Seventeenth street, busily en- waged in directing bis subordinates and arranging his business for the day. The Captain, in response to the reporter's inquiries, said:—“I have read the repory of the Commissioners of Accounts, bat do not ace wnything reflecting on the department, as far as Iam concerned. If there is anything reflecting on the department that is between the Mayor and the Com- missioners, All I know is that as long as I have had charge the department has been conducted properly and according to the rules Jaid down for mu ‘he report alleges, Captain, that while the depart- ment claims there is a shrinkage of thirty-three per cent between the times when the material is collected 1 when it is carried away in the scows the best authority says the shrinkage docs not amount to over five per cent.” Leannot say anything,” replied the Captain, “a4 to the exact percen but I do know there is» reat shrinkage, and if there was a shrinkage of ninety- five per cent it would do no harm to the city, for most of the stuff collected is rubbish and no purpose whatever. There is not «loud, though, that is not tallied by inspectors who are sworn to inake affidavits to their returns. The affidavits aro all on file in the office of the Chief Clerk and are open for inspection at any time.” in to the discrepancy in the books as to the number of cubic yards of material collected and the number carried away in the seows the Captain answered that there never was any book of record kept in the departinent in which the material collected was registered in regard to the number of cubic — ‘The record was simply as to the number of jouds. ‘The hired carts are expected to bring in from nine to fourteen loads a day, according to the dis- tance they have to go, feestving $3 per day, and department carts, which are much larger, brin, nine loads daily, the drivers receiving $1 7! “Talking about shrinkage,” said the Cap denly, auene pid eed Sone the carte to the House of Industry an ilar places to carry away a lot of old straw. Now, what does that amount to in cubic yards when thrown on the seows? And then look at the difference between dry and wet weather, ‘What docs mud amount to when it dries up? Why, one horse (pointing to one of the ment carts) would pull that fail of mf stuff, w! it would take four to pull it full of mud,” A CRY FOR WATER. SOME “WELL REGULATED” STREETS WHERE NoT A DROP OF WATER CAN BE HAD—wuy HYDRANTS ARE NOT SUPPLIED, East Kighty-ninth street, near Lexington avenue, is curbed, guttered, paved, underlaid with Croton and gas pipes and yet the people can't get a drop of water without yoing a distance of two long blocks for it. Hence the following letter received at this office yesterday :— Nov. 21, 1878, Toa —- hd THY Heraip:— eas - e undersigned represent a number of poor fam. flies that live on Best Bighty-ninth street, between Fourth and Lexington aventios, and euffer for the want of a public hydrant in their neighborhood, the nearest one to them being sitnated between Fifth and Madison aventies, Cannot something be done to re- lieve our wants in this matter, Respectfully, SIX SIGNERS, A reporter of the Henanp visited the above locality yesterday afternoon, and found the representations as made above correct. Most of the people reviding there occupy anual) frame cottages, but, as they truly said, that is no reason why they should be deprived of water, “Bless me,” said a women, with whom the reporter conversed on the subject, “T have to take my pail every morning and go about two blocks to get adrop of water; sometimes the young fellow next door goes for me, but Lean't slwaye ark him to go, And now think how it is going te be when cold weather sets in for nate go f stance only te pet pidtut Was indorwed by all +" conversed, An effort sal fw nies, ‘The reporter visited the Department of Public Works, where he wae referred to the office of the Water Purveyor.

There are people in New York worse off than these Eighty-ninth stre folks, But, atany rate, the expense of supplying the people with what they want would not cost the city over 330, as it may need two hydrants to satisfy that particular section.” ‘The reporter, after conversing further with Mr. O'Reilly, was satisfied in his own mind that the day is not far distant when those who addressed the above letter to the Hxnaup would enjoy the luxury of @ hydrant in their immediate vicinity. PENURIOUS BUILDERS. “And yet,” said Mr. Birdsall, of the Croton Aque- duct Department, there are two sides even to this question. Bear in mind, please, that there are a large number of small houseowners ‘in the upper part of Pectiz always relying upon the corporation to do everything for them. ‘There are xome brick buildings in the vicinity you speak of where owners do not want to go to the expease of connecting their houses with the water mains in the street and they leave their tenants without a supply of water. Then the tenants call upon this department to place drinking hydrants in their neighborhood, whereas they ought to be supplied by the owner. The latter thus save from $6 to $9 per annum for water rent. Idon’t ob- ject to the placing of hydrants for the benefit of poor people living in frame cottages, but wherever new rick buildings, no matter how small they are erected, owners should understand that they themselves must make the connection with the street mains.” BIBLIOMANIA. hould be SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS PAID FOR A SHAKESPEARE IN THE ODELL SALE. To the man who has not a love for old books in his soul the spirit that induces the collector to expend his dollars for small volumes that he will never read Seems little short of madness, and people who indulge in this taste he thinks well termed bibliomaniacs. To any one but a collector the prices paid for books at the sale of the Odell Library at Bangs & Co.’s yesterday must have seemed fabu- lous. The largest price fetched was for a copy of Halliwell’s Shakespeare, in sixteen volumes, for which a buyer giving the name of St. John paid $610.

That'll do! angrily said Judge Otterbourg. “She's an ould thramp, Jedge! Don’t believe a word she says,” said one of the prisoners, with outstretched hand, “An' she sleeps in the station house, Jedge! An’ she made me dhrunk. Oh, dear!

Yours truly, PATRICK DWYER, HORSE NOTES. Mr. Charles Backman has sold to Mr. Whitney, of Rochester, N. ¥., one weanling and two yearlings by Messenger Duroc, and the four-year-old filly Pearl, by Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, for $4,100. Jacob Pincus, trainer for Mr. Belmont for a num- ber of years, arrived from England on Wednesday, where he had been for several months. He made him- self acquainted while there with turf matters, He saw all the principal races during the past sea- son, including the Derby. Pincus gives it as his opinion that the best American horses are not inferior to the best English horses. He says that the English have the advantage in jockeys. Charles Littlefield, Mr. Sanford’s late trainer in England, arrived here on Wednesday with his family, which he will take to Preakness, near Paterson, and there follow the profession of a public trainer, Mr. Littlefield brought over with him the horse King Ban, purchased in England for Major Thomas, of Lexing- ton, King was bred by Lord Falmouth and got by King Tom, out of Atlantis, by Thormanby, son of lelbourne or Windhound and Alice Hawthorn, by Muley Moloch, out of Rebecca, by Lottery. King Ban's grandam was Hurri- cane, by Wild Dayrell, son of Ion and Ellen Middleton, by Bay Middleton, out of Myrrha, by Malek. Hurri- cane’s dam was Media, by Scutari, son of Sultan and Velvet, by Oiseau, out of Wire, sister to Whalebone and Web. Media’s dam was Marinella, by Soothsayer, out of Bess, by Waxy. The breeding of the horse is excellent. He is inbred to Waxy through Whisker, Web twice, Wire and Bess, and ho will take the place that was left void by the death of Phaeton and will be a popular horse in the stud of Kentucky.

Parole will carry 123 Ibs. in this race, which is not too much for so short a journey, The celebrated trick horse Excelsior, owned for many years by Dan Rice, died on Sunday last at Ar- not’s stable, St. Louis, Mo., from debility and old age, aged thirty-six years. The horse was levied upon for debt by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and stabled for safe keeping at Arnot’s. He seemed to be conscious that he was eo Fao and his sightless eyes seemed to be ever wanderiag in search of a friend to release him from the ignominy. Dan Rice, who was passin throngh St. Lonis, called to see his old ee and foun him dead, His big heart was touched and he shed tears over the body of his old friend. He said that he was on his way to Pennsylvania, and it was his in- tention to send on money to redeem him and let him die in peace, and have his form preserved by the taxidermist, Excelsior was in Dan Rice's service for about thirty years, and has been exhibited in every city and town of note in the United States. He has been the favorite of millions of people, and men in the downhill of life remember his antics when a frisky colt, Peace to his manes.

He has disposed of all his horses in training for a lump sum, and has left Paris enroute for America, His former stable will be sent up by the new purchaser for sale at the Lyons Chéri yard, and we shall find Pride of Kildare again changing hands. The mare has been singularly unlucky over here, and, although handicappers have given her every chance, the has invariably disappointed her owner antl backers, so much so, indeed, that it is hardly likely she will fetch half the sum Mr. H.
