The testimony revealed a terrible slute of alTiiIra at the camp and the most Inhuman treat ment of the convicts hy their keepurs, Dr. Iliukiier nntl Scott, who held a post mor tem on the bodies, testlllcd that O'ltrlm shoucd bruises Uion both sides ot tliechest and ukmi llio back ai,d scrotum. The bruises wcro not siifllcleut to have killed a well man, but would certainly bo serious to a sirk one and hu-den his death, The negro Smith's Ixiily showed no slns of mistreat ment except a contusion upon the head, which was not considered fuutl. The doc tin's Ihought that Smith hnd pleurisy, and Unit neither O'ilrlcn nor Smith were. In con iljloii to work. The bodies of the men were lu an advtuircd stugo of ilcjon.ivi tlon, therefore the autopsy was not as satis fin: 101 y as It might otherwise have Ihhiu. A HAH KTOIIV. Green Parker, a convict, whose lime ex pired Friday, testified that W. U. Comer whipped O'ilrlcn severely three or four times 'l iiesilay with a leather strap, because ho would not work, O'llricn protesting all the time that he wits sick and could not work. Half an hour alter the first whip ping Comer went to where O'Brien was sit ting In the sun nnd felt his pulse, lie then said: "Them Is nothing tho matter with you," and kuocked him down and kicked him In tha si Jo several times. J. J. Qulnn, a gu.ird, also kicked O'ilrlcn sev eral times, O'Hilen got on his knees and begged for mercy, saying ho would work II he could, but was loo sick. "If you have no pity for me," he pleaded, "have pity oil my poor wife and children." Comer cursed him and said, "Ci d d- n you, I'll kill you, Instead of thinking about hell." About this time Quiiii! knocked the negro (Smith) down, 11ml tiled hi get some of the convict miters to run their eurts over both Smith and O'Brien, who lay senseless on the ground. Smith rose aud ui a il.iwd mm. nor ATYKMITr.D TO STACOP.B AWAV, and Qui:m called upon llio other guards t shoot him. O Urn 11 and Smith were thei taken to their quarters, and died within at hour. O'ilrlcn never Snke after he wai knocked down tho last time. Twenty-live or tliiily convicts were examined, and they all told the same story ami substantliled I'arker's statement. Captain liandiidire, of tho linn of Mason & Co., who are working the convicts, was present, ami told eath of the convicts to tell the wholo truth, without fear, and ho would protect them, aud they testified unre servedly, . IIKATKIT. According to the testimony, the convicts are treated very brutally, and are not al lowed to sit down from four a. 111. to seven p. in., being compelled to stand while eat ing their meals of com bread and bacon. Scver.il of the convicts made prollers of their bodies, allowing where they hud been lushed mercilessly, as the still fester inii' wounds evidenced. They testified that the guards have a liablt ot hand-culling prisoners und whipping them with lush . through which tack aro stuck. The tor- oner's iury found a verdict that John O'llilen cnino to his iIimIIi ul the hands ot V. 11. Comer and J. J. CjUluu, and diinics Smith at ll.c hands of J. J. Quinn. Comer is In Jail under tlie charge of murder, but Quinn left the country Inst Thursday. Cae tuiti Hainliiilgo has telegraphed in nil directions to have him arrested and brought to Justice.

Great excitement prevails and there Is talk of organiz ing a mob to take Comer out of tha Jail and liiiug him, and to go to the convict eaiiip and iuriiish all tho convicts with plain clothes aiij turn them loose, but belter counsel Is likely to prevail The 'convicts, three or four hundred In number, were brought here several months ago to coir struct tho reservoir of the new wuler works by Mnon & Co., the contractors, who aro also lessees of the Kentucky penitentiary, and a majority of the citizens have objected to It all along. .Money has been raised tc buy O'Brien a new colliu and shroud, and his bodv will be taken from the ronvict burying ground and reiiitorred in tlie Catho lic cemetery.

The little villRgo of Ocennporl, about two miles lo the north nf Long Branch, is the no-no of an extraordinary realiza tion of Tennyson's poem of Enoch Ar- den. Tho siirroiiuilings aro In thorough harmony w ill) the story. Tho village is e posed of n few scattered houses, lit- llu claphoardeit utructures, painted a sober brown, and siiiTotitiilrd for the most part by white p'tling. It lies upon thu sands nnd the surf dashes upon the shingles at its doors. Although within a fow minutes' ride of gay and worldly Long Branch, tho villagers retain a simplicity of niannor that is charming. tins may 00 accounted for by the fact that the only visitors from the outside world lliat they soe are those who go thero from this place to cat freshly- caught hsu and clams. Even the changeful lifo-history, revealed ouly upon a deathbed, has agitated its prim itive atmosphere hut little, and to raanv of tho simple folk tho loiigue of gossip has not yet conveyed th - story. Tho history had to bo gathered by hits. The work was not an easv one, sineo those who know it best manifested a disposi tion to lalk the least. But hero is the story: SOrr-KYKD MATILDA Sl)flHKS. A pretty girl lived near Jlunasiitian thirty years ago. Her name was Ma tilda Dulcimer Souires. Thin- who knew her then say that her eves were wonderlully soft aud blue, her figure was trim and graceful and her brown hair long and lustrous. Hesidoj these gilts of beauty, she had tho qualities roijtiisito for a good housewife. She was the daughter of a lisliernian, a thrifty, staid and practical old dad. Two young men paid her court Hiram Olivo, whose father had recently died and left him a farm near the quaint old village of Hrnnchburg, and Samuel Bar ton, who, like Matilda' father, was a toiler of the sea. llaid luck had come to Barton and he had littl to oiler his lore beyond his heart aud hand. Old man Squires, with his eve always to the maiu chnnce, was an advoeato of Iho suit ofdlivejand curtly hinted to I arton that he need not hope to become the husband of tho pretty Matilda. The iretty Matilda nnd Barton, howover, lad tiotions of their own on that sub ject. Barton had already declared his love nnd Matilda had told" him that she w as "lond" of him." Her father's opposition but increased the intensity ot her attachment. Thev met by stealth and in tlie oml were mar ried in secret. Tho truth could not be hidden always, and when, in tho conrso of t me, old Squires discovered it he was furious. Ilo was hardly the man to forgive and bless. As his child had chosen, ho said, be it uuto her. Ho sent her away from his house and declared that a she had disobeyed him she had despised him and must no more think of h.m as father. RAML'KL BARTON'S TLL-I.CCK. The ill-luck that attended Snmuul Barton as a lover followed him as a husband. Nothing seemed to nrosnor ith him. Three children came. Thev. liko their mother, wcro bright and pretty. But thev wore not e-nld or silver. It was natural that .Matilda. 11 tpler these eircuiiisiaiiccs, should some times invert to tho old days and think with regret of what inijjht have been. iram Olive was still iu fortune's favor. But he never thought of marriage nnv more, and there was no girl at Miiii- as quail who could truthliilly say that his attentions to her meant any more than polite form. After Matilda Squires' marriage ho lost much of the gay buoyancy that had characterized li m before. His relations with Matilda and Samuel Barton, hfiwovor, still re mained kindly. It is related of him, that on one o.x-asion when Matilda' eldest child was taken suddenly vio lently ill he rodo six miles through a snow-storm to bring a phvsiciati. All this, however, did not alter tho fact that M itilda was discontented She vent-1! her feelim upon h.T husband, reproached him for having overpcr siU'lod her into es. ousing his fortune and chuled him with his poverty. Her bus' and one day informed her that he hnd got a cliniuv, through a friend, to go as mato ou a vessel iiound from New York lo China and had aoceptc 1 the oiler.

I hung onto that though everything else left nin. At I caiuo down bora 1 heard the name of a certain woman. It was Ma tilda Dulcimer Olive. Kha once wa the wl e of a llshermnn who lived on the coast near hero, named Sam Bar ton. She w ia the daughter of old man Squires. Do you know her."" "Ve." "Well, go tell her to eomo hero to me!

The widow, full of surprise and cm riositv, hurried awHy, leaving the sick man in chargo of her red-haired maid of all-vvork, tiuslo. When she returned Matilda wa with her. The two women entered the sick room together. Tht stranger was lying with his shining eyei lined Uxn the door-way. Matil da' eyes met hi. For an liistnnt aha stood staring hard at him, as if half In doubt: then she started back and cried aloud. , Ves," said the straniror: "ves, It' Sam Barton; not dead, but dying." I'ilKKO IP AT SEA. Then he exp'ained how ho had been picked up, after his ship had gouo dowu, by a vessel that carried him to Austra lia; how he tolled and suil'i-red lo make a fortune there, and Low aftor he had put a little togo herill-liick always came and swept it away, until he somet.mo believed that he was accurse.1. Re membering how his povorty bad goad ed Matilda be lore hnd made her cruel a id unhappy he resolved not to write to her, but let her think him deal. In the intervening years he had traveled round and round the world and gath ered no, liing but enough to bny him a nollln ant! grave, an 1 the mouey he bound in a belt round his waist and de termined to starve rather than touch it lie heard by chance, only a fow year ago, of M itildii's second marriage. Dis ease seized him, and when t..u shadow of death enveloped him he felt an irro sistiblo impulse to sue hi wife once more, lo declare his identity and assert his rights for one He -ting moment. THK OLD JHN's DiiATIl. He askod tlint when he was dead his children might he brought to look upon his lace, and said that if they had for gotten him no one should tell them who ho was, but If they shoul 1 recall his face no one should deny the truth. He died. Ho was buried on Thursday ul last week. Ills children wero brought to look upon his lifeless face, as he had akeiL They were grown up, and the eldest, also named Samuel, divined the truth in an instant. Indeed, he bore so marvelous a resemblance to his father that even a stranger could see that a close relationship must have existed between thoin. L'ttle by little the his tory has come out, and when the widow Josephson, who had been en joined to conditional secrocy by Matil da, saw that the story would surely be come known, sho began to toll it round in whisper to startled neighbor. Matilda told Ilir im Olivo all Ihe truth, and, it is said' '.liar, to satisfy their con sciences, they will be married. Olive was found last night at Irs home. He was disinclined to taU, but, by co erces, lopped "off exaggerations thai had become engrafted on the story and continued the history here given. Lonj Brunch Cor. l'hilodclpliia Timet.
