2 NEW YORK. DEATH OF JUDGE M’CUNN. Wew Tore. Joiv 0.-The announcement of tSSC Jadge John H. MoCann. to day, T« ily and, coming BO soon after lits iropfa < ' l,mel,t an(l conviction ly the Suite S. .• a'e for malfeasance in office, canted a g lal sensation. His end g ijapio t, sod many Bospootcd suicide; but the JrispiCioa Is ungrounded, Early tbu> week J.alge McCunn was inter viewed by a lepuiier, at his residence on Twenty-hist street, on which occasion the Judge protested his innnocence with calmness, and stated that, thongh he was a victim because a sacrifice was demanded, he was still emronnded by devoted friends, and could retire to enjoy comfort on an in come of SIOO,OOO a year, the fruit of invest ments in real estate. For some time he had been suffering from weakness of the lungs, and occasional hemorrhages bad left him in a weakened condition. The heat, in con nection . with this weakness, pros trated him three days ago. The result of the trial, also, had left him in a morbidly sensitive and depressed condi tion. On July 4he was seized with vomit ing and a nervous collapse similar to cholera. Dr. John Warren was summoned, aud prescribed stimulants and stimulating essences. The condition of his stomach was such that he was unable to retain them, and he grew rapidly worse. It was at this stage that the depressing effect of biatrial became most apparent. Yesterday, in conversation with his brother-in-law, Mr. J. M. Gano. he said : “ This will break my heart. lama doomed roan. I feel that I am going fast.” Every effort was maae to rally him, both in spirits and health, but without avail. Fre quently throughout yesterday he would ex claim: “I am broken-hearted.” Dr. Warner was at his bedside all day, administering brandy and Ice. About 8 o’clock he asked Mr. Gano to give him a glass of croton water without Ice, saving It can’t hurt me now. I feel myself sinking now. Is it a bad heart that breaks so easy V* About 13 o’clock last night Dr. Warner had to hasten to another patient, and Judge McCunn was left in charge of Messrs. Gano and Liddie. Mr. Gano occupied the same room. As late as half-past 5 he awakened the sick man to give him ice. He was lying almost in a state of stupor, but when aroused broke tbe ice with his teeth with so much vigor that Mr. Gano regarded.it as a sign of increasing strength, and bore the good news to his wife. Hth rest seemed so sound and his breathing so regular that he was not dis turbed until, at 4:15, Mr. Gano noticed his breathing was imperceptible, and, on closer examination, discovered that all was over. The nearest physician was summoned, who, after applying the usual tests, pronouuced life extinct. On Monday last the Judge was much depressed, and spoke yeiy bitterly of the manner in which he had been treated by members of the Senate aud Sar Association.iHe announced his intention to carry his case to the Court of Appeals, and said it could bo easily proved that he had been illegally removed from his posi* i tion. During the night he paced the floor, ! and repeatedly exclaimed that mental ex- ! citenient would kill him. On tho follow ing day he loot his appetite and began to look very much reduced in flesh. thr intimate friends called upon him and tried to condole with him, but he repulsed them by saying that during his official life he badttied to do his whole duty, and for this he said a conspiracy of politicans had rewarded him with a disgraceful removal. Judge McCunn was about 47 years of age. In early lifo he married Mtpb Jennie’ Waring, of this city, who was possessed of a handsome for tune, and this, with McCnm’s subsequent real estate speculations, and the income from his profession, left him worth, at the rime of his death, a fortune estimated at - j0.u00.000. He owned, in this city, a large amount of property in the upper wards, be hides aline country residence inNew Jersey. A few years ago he purchased, iu the County of Derry, Ireland, an estate called Farm Hill, on which his mother resides. This place it was his habit to visit once a i car. During the rebellion he organized a regiment in this city, and was elected Colo nel; but, owing to differences with his su perior officers, resigned before entering active service. He was born in North Ireland, and was originally a member of the Society of Friends. He left home, embarking as a sea man on a merchant vessel. After pursuing this occupation for several years, he finally landed in this city, and remained. He became acquainted with some Irish barristers, aud the acquain tance resulted in his cultivating a taste for thefpiactice of the law. He studied, and was subsequently admitted to the bar. He now aspired to the ermine, and, by con necting himself with the Tammany Society, he succeeded in securing its nomination for the position of Judge of the Supreme Court, and the term for which he was elected was subsequently extended by the Legislature , to fourteen years. Socially, his reputation was that of a genial and generous man. As to his impeachment, the charges are a matter of record, and his removal was ad judged by a unanimous vote of the highest branch of the Legislature. THE HEAT. Though the mercury, to-day, did not ex ” ceed SS, quite a number of deaths from sun stroke occurred, the victims having been greatly weakened, probably, by the previous raging heat. The mortality for the past week reaches the almost unprecedented to tal of 1,509. This is SOI more than last week, SC9 more than in the corresponding week of 1871, and 92S more than in 1870. During the recent unusually hot weather, in London the deaths for the week ending June 20, numbered 1,207. The mortality during the past week in New York has, therefore, been relatively four times as great as in Loudon, during its hottest weather. This shocking disproportion is much commented on by the press here, and considerable alarm prevails in ibe community regarding the sanitary condition of New York. It is but fair to say, However, that an ex traordinary number of deaths from Sun strokes have occurred this week iu villages and on farms in New York and New Jersey. THE STOKES TRIAL. counsel, to-day, continued their 1 , f »‘ . v ;ng to intrcdace testimony that ] the Grand Central Hotel to : btokcs went wit h a Drained- - see a lady on Jan. o, . itation to slay Fisk; but, n.- ch t0 tieaap- , parent disgust, Judge Ingraham very >£<?* quentlv excluded their questions as in- } admissible, until a proper foundation : for such testimony is laid. A hack man at the Grand Central testified I eaw Fisk enter the hotel, and, in a few minutes, a hoy came out and said Fisk had been shot. I was going in when a man said, “Don : t! you [may ha shot.” However, I went in, and ran up to Fisk. There was no one there hut myself. I caught him under the arms, and he said, “ He’s heen too quick lor me this time.” I said, “Are you hurt old man t” hut he made uq answer-. Then Mr. Curtis and some one else came and helped him np stairs. He made no further remarks. X then went downstairs to my coach, and was asked hy the Colonel’s colored man ahont the affair. On telling him, he said: “I wonder the old man did not pull on him, because I know he was filed.” He also said: “I have carried two pistols myself for some time.” | Geo.W. Bailey, an oilandYarnishmerchant, of Booklyn, testified: I was on Broadway on Jan. 0; saw Stokes on Amity street ahont 4 o’clock—l mean on the corner of Great Jones street, on the east side of Broad way, and upper side of the street, I walked down with him as fat as Bond street, which is opposite the Grand Central Hotel. Q. What did he Bay to you about whero he was going ? Excluded. Q. Where were yon going to ? A. To buy ticket lor the Black Crook at Nihlo’s, Q .What conversation occurred between yon 1 The District Attorney. I object to any conversa tion. Mr. McKeon read some authorities in support of his right to ask the question, and said that he proposed to show that the pris onerhad seen a lady at the window of the hotel who beckoned to him, and that he told witness that he had met her at Saratoga, and endeavored to get him to go over with him, and even pulled him by the coat. The only nu sna of contradicting the theory of the pr< pecution was by allowing this testimony. Bl;c • log the intention with which he en- torcd the hotel. District Attorney Garvin, again urged his objection to manufacturing evidence, and oited a decision in the Beal case in support thereof. Mr. Tremaiu ar gued that all the facts in the case should be allowed to go to the jury. Judge Ingraham said he would carefully consider whether the conversation before the. shooting\ was part of the res gestae , and would reserve hie decision until Monday. Witness, re suming, said: I saw a lady at the window. Stokes took off his hat to her. Ho tried to poll me over. I did not go, and he left to cross the street. I saw him go over to the hotel. I then went up Broadway to the New York Hotel, crossed to the west side of Broadway, and, at the corner of great Jones street, met Mr. Horace Stokes, near the Kew York Hotel. I walked down Broadway again, and heard of the shooting; went into the hotel and afterward to the Station House, to try and see Stokes or get his broth er to see him. I went back to the hotel to get some further intelligence of the shooting and went again to the Station House. The proprietor of the Hoffman House, where Stokes hoarded, was interrogated by the de fence as to whether Stokes had expressed a fear that Fisk would shoot him; but after another heated struggle, the Jndgeexcluded the question. Mr. Tremaiu said several of their witnesses were not present, and as he was desirous of getting in all the testimony relating to the circumstances preceding the homicide, at the same time he would wish an adjournment until Monday. Otherwise he would now be obliged to put on the stand the prisoner himself, which he did not wish to do.at this stage. Judge Ingraham ac cordingly adjourned Court until Monday. Just before adjournment an individual sitting near the jury box was obterved by Mr. McKeon to be taking down the name of witnesses for the defence wholhad been called, hut were present. Mr. McKeon exclaimed, in a very loud voice, “ May I ask who that gentleman is taking down witnesses 1 names!” The unknown scribe replied, “ Yes, sir; Pm Mr, Comer, sir.” John McKeon : “Hal ha! Mr. Comer, of the Erie Kailroad!” Mr. Comer: “No, sir; not now.” John McKeon ; “Well, sir, you were in the Erie Bailroad, and now you ai e Mrs. Fisk's agent. Stand up, sir, and let the public see you.” Mr. Comer made no reply, but preferred to sit. THE EVERLASTING ERIK RAILWAY is the source, to-day, of a new batch of re- ’ ports. The statement in the Timet of this morning, that Commodore Vanderbilt is about to be made President of the Erie Rail way, was to-day denied by Mr. McHenry, who said that about three weeks ago the de sign was formed by himself, and seconded by the stockholders generally, to bring in the Commodore or his son as President of Erie. It was found, however, that accord ing to the laws of the State, no shareholder in the New York Central can become even a Director of the Erie Road. The project, therefore, fell through, and there is no pos sibility of Vanderbilt becoming President. The Presidency, Mr. McHenry says, is to be offered to the President of one of the Western banks, and should ho decline. Gen eral Dix, in aUprobability,will be reelected. The present Directory will be re-elected, with few exceptions. Jay Gould sent in proxies for 15,000 shares to-day. McHenry claims to represent 400,000 shares. Mr. Rucker, General Superintendent, sent in his resignation to-day. BETS ON GREELEY. Ex-Collector Murphy was anxious to bet 5-10,000 even on Grant against Greeley, and George Wilkes has snapped him up. Wilkes has made a similar bet of tl.ooo with Hugh Hastings. tub NEW ENGLAND DELEGATES for the Baltimore Convention are generally stopping in this city, on their route. The full complement of Maine delegates is here, and called at the Liberal headquarters to show their sympathy with the Cincinnati nominations. Mauy delegates from other Slates have also called and proclaimed them selves bound to push the ratification of the Greeley ticket. Governor Hoffman and oth er New York delegates went to Baltimore this forenoon. STOCKS were firm to-day, with Erie as the chief fea ture, the price ranging be tween SSI-2 and 59 1-8. The market closed quiet and firm. The latest reports in regard to Erie are that a new Board of Directors had been selected by Mr. McHenry, who, it is said, represents a ma jority, and who will keep the secret tlli the election next Tuesday. The next President will most likely be General Dix, who has been identified with the Erie Administra tion Company for many years. MONEY easy at 4a5 per cent on call. Foreign ex change quiet and unchanged. Gold was quiet and steady throughout at 113 5Sa 113 3-4. • GOVERNMENT BONDS were quiet and firm. The offerings of old bonds continue light. Central Pacific bonds closed at 1017-Salo3 ; Union Paeifie firsts, 91 a9ll-8; land grants, 53a821-8; incomes, 87 l-4a87 S-8. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. The foreign commerce of this port for the week consisted of $0,080,239 in merchandise exports, $4,472,937 in prodnoe exports, $2 024.811 in specie and bullion export. The total imports since January 1 are $230,714.591; the exports, 1 $111,123,004 in products; and $39,210,418 in specie—all bullion. BREADSTUFFS. The market for dour is very dull and un settled.

[To the Associated Press] THE STOKES TRIAL. Kew York, July 6 —The drat witness m iho Stokes case was John Moore, who testi dtd that he saw Fisk go -into the Grand Central Hotel, Jan. 0, and afterward the boy Kedmond came out and .said that Fisk was shot. The witness went in and caught the Colonel under his arms. No one was present bat them. He was just going to ask, “Are you hurt! when Fisk said : “ He was too quick for me this time.” When the witness came out, Fisk’s colored driver asked him what had happened, and on telling him he said : •‘Wonder the old man didn’t pull on him. for he was fixed,’ - and afterwards said : “ X carried two myself for some tune.” The cross-examination brought ont no contra- W. Bailey testified that he met Stokes near the hotel. The latter endeavor ed to persuade him to go into the hotel, but the witness declined,- and, on walking up Broadway, met Stokes’ brother, when both returned to the hotel, where they heard of the shooting of Fisk. Thence they went to the station nouse to see Stokes. While at the latter place they saw the boy Kedmond, who, on being asked what vas the matter with him, said he was brought theje as a witness to the shooting, but was so fright ened he hardly knew how it happened. . John Gibney testified that he saw Fisk arrive and go into the hotel, and the boy Kedmond shortly ran ont, saying: Colonel Fisk is shot.” Gibney went around to the front entrance, and saw Stokes sitting on a bench with Powers. Heard Powers ask Stokes what he came to the hotel for, and Stokes saidhe came to see Mr. ifio name was not heard by witness. . C H. Heed testified to knowing that Stokes went armed.

The Employers i ive Committee is advised of acts of a tyi_- none character on the part .of the different labor organizations in their .efforts tore strain workmen from returning to the old system. The strikes having, in a great meas ure, killed the bnildidg trade of the season, hundreds of destitute mechanics are apply ing for work to the Employers’ Committee.

A nnmher of sewing machine workmen and cabinet makers resume work on Monday. The Paterson locomotive shops expect to commence on Monday, with such men as offer themselves, at old rates. PERSONAL. The English Grenadier Gnardsßand sailed forEmope to-day. It was lustily cheered by a large crowd. Miss Fanny Janauschek and Franz Abt also sailed to day. JUDGE M’CUNN’S DEATH. Judge McCann’s death was not sudden, in the ordinary acceptance of the word. Ha had been ailing for several days, complain ing of pain in the breast, and suffering from prostration from heat. His physician was in attendance several days. Three other doctors were called in last evening. The scene at his bedside was very affecting, as, In tbe intervale of pain, lie constantly repeated that his heart was breaking. It Is undoubt edly true that tbe recent action of the Sen* ate was the primary canse of his death. THE ERIE RAILWAY, There is no possibility of Vanberbilt be coming President of tbe Erie Railway. By the Jaw* of this State,no shareholder in the New York Central can become even a Director of E« le. McHenry says, in consequence of this, tome other person will be selected for the Presidency.

POLITIC AD. GRANT EMISSARIES AT BALTIMORE. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. Springfield, 111., July G.— A lot of so called straight Democrats left this city to day, on free tickets and expenses paid to Baltimore by Grant emissaries. They go for the purpose of aiding in instigating a Dem ocratic holt, and are paid for their services by Grant m6n with National Bank money. I have positive proof of this. GRANT MEETING AT OTTAWA, ILL. Ottawa, HI., July 6.— A Grant and Wilson ratification meeting was held this evening, and a Grant club formed. Addresses were delivered by Messrs., Mayo, Radciine, Ball, Blanchard, and Lewis. CONGRESSIONAL INSTRUCTIONS IN lOWA.

A unusually large number of Democratic delegates have gone to the Baltimore Con vention from this city. LIBERAL RALLY AT CINCINNATI Cincinnati, July 6.—The political cam paign was opened here to-night by a Liberal Republican ratification meeting in Probasoo Place. The meeting was respectable m size, bnt was not particularly enthusiastic. Speeches were made by Casnius M. Clay and General Bnnkerhoff. Mr. Clay devoted much of his time *o an attack of the foreign policy of the Grant Administration, dwelling largely ou the conduct of Grant and his advisers to ward the Russian Government; condemning their coarse in the most unmistakable terms. Mr. Clay was listened to throughout with close attention. General Brinkerhoff fol lowed, but greatly diminished the numbers to the close, the crowd having rapidly dis persed after Mr. Clay concluded. The moat notable feature of the evening was the de cided satisfaction with which the audience received allusions to Mr. Greeley. PBEPABATIONBJ?9R THE CONVENTION AT BALTIMORE. Kew York, July O.—A Baltimore despatch announces the airival there of a large num ber of delegates to the Democratic Conven tion., Among them are Senator Kelly, of Oregon, and John G. Thompson, of Ohio. It seems to be the general belief that Greeley ■will be nominated. There is comparatively little talk of candidates, the interest pt the occasion being mostly centered in the selection of a National Executive Committee and of the otiicers of the con vention. There will be a determined effort to oust Belmont from the Chairmanship of the committee. An attempt will be made to give the "place to Willium E. Nihlack, of Indiana. The Southern delegates evince a feeling against selecting either the tempora ry or permanent Chairman from any of the seceded States, and of giving the former to the Eastern or Middle States, and the latter to the West, A strong current is running in favorof making General John A. McCler nand, of Illinois, President of the. Conven tion,-who is pressed mainly for his strong military reputation and political ability. The principal names mentioned for the tem porary Chairmanship are Governor Thomas, of Maryland; Governor Vance, of North Carolina, and Thomas Bocock, of Virginia. But Tbomaswill probably he the man. Members of the National Committee who are in the city had a meeting, to hear the report of the resident committee having in charge the arrangements for the meeting of the Convention. The National Committee meets again to-morrow. If anything like a foil meeting can he obtained, the question of the temporary Chairmanship will bo dis cussed and probably decided. Nothing is heard, as yet, of the Bolters Convention. _ . The anti-Greeley Democrats will hold a private conference in Baltimore on Monday, and organize their Convention on Tuesday, at noon. They will meet in the Maryland Institute. SOUTHERN SENTIMENT. Lexisgton, Va., July b.— ln the addraas of Bon. James P. Holcomb, before the Mili tary Institute,he said: ‘The Government thrust upon ns hy force we now accept, without any abandonment of principles, and from choice. The fnlnte hope of the South lies in union. 'Without it many sections (South Carolina for example) would relapse into the barbarism of the_ West India provin ces. Time and magnanimity will restore friendship.” Resolutions of Respect.

A. G.

I told my friends at Cincinnati, as I have always said, that In no event nr contingency could I be indnoad to run for an office. I said that much when I had every reason and hope to believe that Judge •Davis would be the candidate for President, aud It is net because Mr. Greeley Is on the ticket that I bllll adhere to my purpose.

Collision Between Frstsa on the South Side (Long Island) Ballroad-dcrcral | Person* Faialiy I» jnred* From the New York Timen, July S _ A collision occurred yesterday at o:19 p. m., ou the South Side Railroad of L*»ng Island, by which some twenty persons wore tenthly ihjurtd. The4:4sp m. train from Williamsburg started some twenty nuances behind time and advanced along the single track, which continnes as far asNewtown I Switch, at a reckless speed. At the switch J a double track begins which extends to the Eockaway Branch. When the 4:45 tram t< ached this point it came iu collision with a train which left Eockaway at 4 o clock, f The shock was terrific, the passengers were thrown abont the cars in all directions. Thenp-train from Williamsburg bad but few passengers on board, but the tram from Eockaway waa crowded with ex cuisionists, who had cone to the Beach to spend the Fourth. As the train for Will ianjbbnrg approached, the passengers in the Eockaway train saw that a collision was inevitable, and therefore made their best p endeavors to leave the oars. The women and children, particularly, made a deapor- ate rush lor the platforms, and a few of them succeeded iu escaping. The majority, however, were too slow, and when the trams # came together the passengers caught upon the platforms, and in consequence many of them had their limbs horribly mangled. One lady, Mrs. Rowe, had both her feet cut , oil*, and her limbs were broken in such a manner that she will scarcelysurvive. The point at which the collision occurred | was, as already stated, where the single tiacfc meets the double track, and at this point the Eockaway train had been waiting ( for the one from Williamsburg, that it might pass in safety. The Williamsburg train be ing delayed beyond its usual time, the Eock away train endeavored, to go ahead. As it advanced across the switch, the other train dusked into it. Both engines wore badly wrecked, and piled upon each other in a manner that showed Dotn were Qrottoyoa beyond redemption. The locomotive cabs . and tenders, aud the baggage oars of both trains were crushed into each other, and all the persons that were upon them were more or legs injured. Most of the injured are women, only four men being included in the number. The universal opinion among the # passen gers was that the collision waa entirely the result of carelessness. , , The following list of the wounded is fur bished by Surgeon Callaghan, of the I‘ifcn Preoint, Brooklyn Police Department, and was collected by Detective Frost and the road detectives; Herbert A. Pntnam, Clem entine A. Williamson. Dennis Williamson, Bridget Parks, unknown woman and eon, Mrs. Nelson Eowe and son. Engineer Kath . bun, of the up*train, received a slight cut in the temple while jumping oil the engine. It is estimated by those who saw the acci dent that there were at least nine others wounded who went to their homes. Ihe sufferers were all injured in their attempts to jump oft the cars. Mrs. Rowe was not ex pected to live through the_ night, and her pon’a life was wholly despaired of. One or the men injured, it was said by the doctor, would notiive a week, and much alarm is th for the safety of all whose names are given, except the engineer. . At the Newtown switch there is a great curve In the road, and a rise in the ground of abont forty feet. A train on one side of the curve cannot be seen from the other. It is customary to slow up here, blow a warnlog whistle, aud the flagman display signals. Conductor Lvnch, on the home , ward-bound train, had eleven cars under his charge, and, hearing the whistle, brought his train to a stop before turning the corner. CondnctorCoddy, on the down train, though , warned by his engineer, would not stop his train, but ran headlong into the ocher tram. * This was the general report, and is was not denied by Superintendent Douglas aud bis ► officials, though they were reticent auto the , cause of the accident, saying that they wished to reserve judgment until the attair ) iad been more thoroughly investigated. WHO wot) tt iunuiuci U1 tuo vrw~* tnittee, and. although not spoken of nn..ii the Committee waa convened, it was receiv ed by a unanimous vote. _ . BAILBOAD AC CEDENT. INCREDIBLE BARBARITY, Tiro Enemies of m £OLa« Seize a Little Child, Ills Granddaughter, Saturate Her Cleibing with Oil and Set Xc on Fire —She is Fatally Burned, Prom the Cleveland (O.) Herald, July 8. Conrad Schweitzer, whose name sufficient ly indicates his German origin, Uvea about seven miles from Cleveland, in ParmaTown sbip, on the direct road to Parma. With him and his aged wife dwelt Henry Walter, his son-in-law, bis daughter, the wife of Wal ter, and Betty Walter, daughter of Henry Walter, and grandchild of Schweitzer. Oa Satnrnay morning the men of the house hold did considerable mowing in a held near the house, and afterward came to Cleve land with produce for market. Between 11 and 13 o’clock on that day old Mrs. Schweitzer went to the hay-held for some purpose, was absent but a short time, and tbtn heard piercing, heartrending screams is-sning from the direction of her dwelling. Ret racing her steps at her utmost speed, she entered the house, where an appalling scene met her gaze. Her little grand-daugh ter was frantically endeavoring to tear all that remained of her burning garments from her person, moat of them having been consumed, and was undergoing most severe and cruel torture from the barns upon her body. Procuring water, the aged grand mother dashed it over the little snfferer, and soon extinguished the flames. bat not until her innocent grandchild had been so badly burned that death ensued a few hoars after ward. She at thetirae supposed tholittlegirl had somehow set her own clothes ounce, and asked her what she had been doing. Betty replied that she had been doing noth ing, but that “that brntely butcher that struck yon, (meaning the grandmother) did it.” She afterward gave further details of the affair. saying two men had been there, who inquired for her grandfather. She told them he was not at home. They then seized her and got the oil-can. Then one of them jamraeda hole in the side of the can by strik ing it upon the corner of the stove, and poured the contents over her body while his companion held her for that purpose. They then set the oil on fire and hastily left the premises, and their victim met the terrible ordeal of burning by fire. The condition of the oil-can corroborated the girl’s story of the barbarity to which she had been sub jected. _ We understand that there are m Eoyalton live butchers, or at least a club of five men, of whom one or two are butchers. The two men in question have long entertained on measured. hatredJagalnstfold Mr. Schweitzer, from what reason we cannot learn, and have on previous occasions sought to do him in jmy. About a year since they came to bis bouse one evening, and tried to set it on lire, when Schweitzer fired noon them and caused them to heat a lively retreat. It was on this occasion that one of the butchers alluded to struck old Mrs. Schweitzer a heavy blow, which explains the remark of the little girl to her grandmother. We do dot learn of any other specific attempt to inflict damage upon Schweitzer by these men, hut other facts are given rendering it probable tbat such may have been the case. The alleged lawlessness i of the perpetrators of these outrages lends 1 additional weight to the accusations against th The funeral of Betty Walter took place on Tuesday from the house where she was so wickedly deprived of life. Her murderers are at large, and we do not learn that any well-directed efforts are yet on foot to eiieot their capture. It is said that the Constable of Parma has the names and is cognizant ot the residence and whereabouts of the al leged murderers, hut hesitates to arrest them because of the limited amount oa tes timony which can be arrayed against them. Of this fact,however, we have not complete knowledge. Information of the whole afiair was on Tuesday evening lodged at the C en tral Station in this city, bat without snob details as are necessary to action by onroth cers, the crime having been committed, out side of their jurisdiction. M. de Paris* On June 17 the new executioner of France, M. de Paris, mode his dehut in front of I*a Roqnette, and with the aid of the improved culilotine, invented by the Iftfco headsman shortly before be died, lopped off the head of a desperate criminal who murdered a woman a few months ago. The improved machine is not raised like the old guillotine, and con sequently it is almost impossible for specta tors to get a glimpse of what passes, it can he taken to pieces and packed up with great ease, and is altogether a handy instrument. M. de Paris travels about the country with it in a large van, which comprises a bedroom, a kitchen, and a cupboard for “ les Dolsde justice,” and the requisite sawdust, ims van was found necessary when the country executioners were done away with, and tne office was concentrated the hands of M. de Paris, who often found it difficult to pro cure bed and lodging in the places he visited. On June 20 Monsieur was to have operated on a man called Dore, who had a kand m killing a sergeant de vtlle under most atro cious circumstances, but at the I®®* an accomplice, condemned to death by de fault, was Apprehended, and Dora and two men colled Mayer, all under sentence of death, will appear as witnesses on the trial of the newjy-captured culprit. —The little island in the Connecticut at Wocdsville ia a piece °* ecogranhyia concerned.
