His appearance in one of the proscenium boxes was the occasion of quite a demonstration from the audi- ence. His health is better than when he left, and he now takes @ more hopeful view of his ‘financial troubles than he did before going awgy. In a coaver- sation with one of the priests he said that he could not expreas the gratitude he felt towarl the Church for the expressions of sympathy and kindness ho received on. every side, and the hopo those ex- pressions gave him that he would live to wee all his embarrassments cleared up. He still expresses the belief that every one who holds a claim against him will yet b» paid up and the diocese relieved of allembarrassments. The kind responses that have come from the Cardinal, at New York, and: the Arch- bishops at Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and other places, and the numerous ussurances from priests and —— throughout the country give him much hope.

He at once proceeded to Farley's house. and invited him to come into the road for a brief con- versation.

Idon’t ‘want any fuss with you.” . Wilburn thereupon fired one barrel of his gun and wounded Farley in tho arm. Farley ran, and while endeavoring to jump a fence Wilburn fired again, the shot striking Farley in the chest and killing him instantly.

But one man out of the party failed to identify the body as Clark's, and ho was not entirely sure. Clark’s son said that the body was vot that of his father, but the jury was not satisfied with his state- ment, He said his futher wore larger shoes, No. tens, and those on the corpse were found to be of that size, He admitted that the bair, eyes, nose and teesh corresponded exactly with his father’s, ‘here was a remurkable resemblance between the face of the deceased and young Ciark. He said it could not be his tather's body, because he had a tumor on the back left side of the neck, When the corpse was turned over Dr. Hegaman found a scar where Clark suid the tumor wus and the doctor said that it was just such ascaras would be lett by w tumor after suppura- tion. Young Clark went away before being examined by Coroner MeCarty.. Benjamin Semnun was posi- tive that the body was Clark's. He had doctored his horses and dincd at his house. Henry Mott said he could not be niistaken in_ his identification. as Clark had been a customer at his bur for three years. Arlington Bedell aud Henry Otten were equally posi- t ave. The jury had made up their minds thut it was John Ciark’s body, but were unwilling to say what caused death, and Foreman Joucs was about to ask that o ‘post-mortem be made when the Coroner was called from the room. He returned in afew minutes, and stated that the body had been identified as that of Patrick M, Hughes, of No. 157 Ainsley street, Brooklyn, KE. D. ‘The person who identificdgthe remains refused to give his name, say- ing that if the sad news cume to the knowledye of the deceased's daughter. it would kill her. He had thought previously of not recognizing the body and permitting it to go to the Cemetery as that of John Clark, but his emotion betrayed him, When sworn he seid his name was John Hughes, and that he was the deceased's son, The deceased wandered away from his home last Saturday morning. It was @ common thing for him to stroll about, sometimes walking as fur as Coney Island, notwithstanding he was seventy-one vears old, He never carried more than $10 or $15, ig son said, but only two cents were tound on the body. The son made acomplete identification of the body und effects. _ His-father nevor drank liquor, was hale and hearty, clear minded and not subject to fits. He was quite positive that he did not commit sui- eide; there wus no reason why he should, as he lived with his widowed daugh wr happily and luxuriously. The verdict of the jury was death by drowning, but whether accidentally or by bis own act or the act of some other person they would not undertake tosay. One of the jurymen said afterwards that he was not at all atisfied with the result of the inquest. “Phere should have been,” he thought, “#, post- mortem.”” “Why didn’t the jury order it?” “Well,” eaid he, “the Coroner seemed against it, and we didn’t want to force it.”” ‘The absolute identification of the corpse as that of John Clark had so impressed the jury that Mr. Haghes was subjected to a most rigid examination to satisfy them to the contrary. AN ENORMOUS NEWSPAPER. {From the Philadelphia Ledger, March 17.) - ‘The New York Heratp of yesterday is & remark- able iasuc, even for that journal of quintuple sheets. It contains over seventy columns of advertisements, the greater number only two or three lines in length, the total number of notices being 3,447. Tho.work donc in a few hours to prepare for such an edition of @ newspaper is more noteworthy than the number of miles tramped by a pedestrian. in six. days, for it illustrates the high point of excellence to whick the business of printing great newspapers has been car- ried. The HEnatp stereotype platos for a quintuple edition require about seven tons of metal, which has to be cast for tho presses after moulds have been taken trom 3,009,000 separate pieces of type picked up and put in place by thecompositors one by onc. These details relate only to the mechanical work. of getting the forms ready for the pressés in‘leas than a day, and take no account of the work of preparing fifty columns of reading matter or of printing the edition. JOURNALISM ON A GRAND SCALE. (From the Philadelphia Chronicle, March 14.] ‘The man who buys his nowspaper for a few pennies never stops to think what it costs to produce that mass of printed mattor. If he wore to think hecouid hardig appreciate the work. ‘Tho army of news gatherers scattered over the globe; the editors who receive and comment on’ the news, enriching their comment with illustration and history, showing its bearing.on to-day and its probable influence on to morrow; the typosetters, with hands moving ceas- lessly from case to stick through the day or through the night; the driving presses, the vast machinery tor delivery—all these are at work as much for the benefit of the man who buys a singlo copy as though he were the oniy reader or bought the Whole product of the newspaper press. The New York Henatp, which is justly proud of the enterprise which has placed it at the head of the news gatherers of the world, gives some facts which will serve to Hlustrate the point. Speaking of one of its wonderful Sunday quintuple editions, con- taining sixty-eight colymns of advertisements, the HERALD says:— Apart from the great amount of extra labor re- quired to set the immense quantity of type required by this increase of wize, the single item of stervotyp- ing reaches extraordinary dimensions. As fourteen plates are made of each page of the Hixmacp, our issue of to-day calls for two hundred and cighty platgs; cach of there weighs fifty pounds, so the full set requires about fourtcen thousand pounds, or seven tons of metal trom which to print this single edition. In round numbers about three millions of pisces of type have boon picked up, one ata time, yy compositors to prepare the pages for the stcreo- typers, and more than 4 hundred and titty men*were required to sct the type. make the plates and print the paper. This is a great feat of the publishing business, ac- complished between @ night and a morning. It ree quires large capital, abundut and perfect ma- chinery, keen intelligence ond w great directing mind. What the Hxnatp does on so grand a'scale is done every day by every newspaper, cach in its own degree. If it happens that there ig nothing going on of an exciting character, or nothing which interests him specially, the reader is very likely to throw bis aper down and growl impatiently, “There's noth- ie in the papers.” As cach reader yets the benefit of all the work that goes on a newspaper, it would tax the ingenuity of the ablest editor to give nim a print worth leas than the selling price. People who never make their way into the adver- tising columns ot the newspapers need not fatter theinselves that they are doing much to keep in mio- tion this great engine of eulightenment. The mero subseription money is of comparatively small imo- ment, for no buyer would be wi.ling to pay the cost ot producing the shect he reads. A newspaper must have readers, just as an edifice must have a roof; but it stands more in need of advertisers, just @s a building must first have « foundation, HOTEL ARRIVALS.
