Dr. Tulmaye ireached the fourth of his scries of ser uons on the Plagues oi" the Cities" this morning. The sermon to-day is on Baleful Amusements." The text was II Samuel ii, 14: "Let the voting men now | arise and play before us." The follorning is substantially the ser- | r.on: There are two armies encamped by J the pool 01 (jrioeon. xne umt; imiii;> heavily on their hands. One army proposes a same ot sword-fencing. Nothing could be more healthful and innocent. The other army accepts the challenge. Twelve men against twelve men. the sport opens. But something went adversely. Perhaps one of the swordsmen got an unlucky clip, or in some way had his ire aroused, and that winch openly in sportfulness ended in violence, each one taking his contestant ;<y 41-.^ on/1 then witll t lift SVv'Ol'd * thrusting him in the side: so that that which opened in innocent 1'uu ended in ; the massacre of all the twenty-four sportsmen. Was there ever a better illustration of what was true then, and is true now, that that which is innocent may he made destructive? What of a worldly nature is more important and strengthening and innocent than amuse- | ment, and yet what has counted more | victims? I have no sympathy with a straight-jacket religion. This is a veryX brightw^ld^orac^^d^nv^^*^^**^ . A book issued years ago says that a Christan man has a rigiit to some amusements; for instance, if he comes home at ninht wear}* from his work, and feeling the need of recreation, puts on his slippers, and goes into his garret, and walks lively around the tioor several tim^s, there can be no harm in it. I believe the Church of God has made a tremendous mistake in trying to suppress ! the sportfulness of youth and drive out j from men their love of amusement, n | God ever implanted anything in us, he implanted this desire. But instead of providing for this^ demand of our nature, the Church of God has. for the main part, ignored it. As :n a riot, the mayor plants a battery at the endot the street, and has it tired" off, so thai everything is cut down that happens to stand in the range, the good as well as the bad, so there are men in the Church who plant their batteries of condemnation, ami lire ^ away indiscriminately. Everything is pL condemned. But my Bible commends those who use the world without abusing it. and in the natural world, God '-.as done everything to please and amuse u*. In poetic figure we sometimes speak of i 1 r- in i^o'n hilt )! !C I iJCUUlcli VUJCVLO ao JJtiUjj iia yvw - w . a mere fancy. Poets sav the clouds weep, but they never yet shed a tear; and that the winds sigh, but they never did have any trouble; and that the storm howls, but it never lost its temper. The world is a rose, and the universe a garland. And I am glad to know that in ail our cities there are plenty of places where we may find elevated moral entcrtaiment. Uufc all honest men and good women will agree with me in the statement that one of the worst piagues of these cities is corrupt amusement. Multitudes have gone down under the blasting influence never to rise. If we may judge of what is - oing on iu many of the places of arn-isement by the Sodomic pictures on bo? rd-fences, and in many ot the show v. i^gows, mere is not a mucu iu? <jj. d.^.th of profligacy to reach. At Xapies, Ita'y, they keep such pictures locked up lrom indiscriminate inspection. Those pictures were exhumed from Pompeii, and are not fit for public gaze. It" the efi'rontery of bad places of amusement liatging out improper advertisement of what they are doing night by night grows worse in the same proportion, in fifty years Xew York and Brooklyn will beat not only Pompeii, but Sodom. To help stay the plague now raging, I project certain principles by which you may judge in regard to any amusement or recreation, finding out for yourself whether Jt is right or whether it is wronu'. I remark, in the first place, that you can judge of the moral character of any amusement by its healthful result, or bv Its baleful reaction. There arc people who seem made up of hard facts. They arc a combination of multiplication tabies and statistics. If you show them an exquisite picture, they will begin todiscuss the pigments involved in the coloring. If you show them a beautiful rose, they will submit it to a botanical analysis, which is only the post-mortem examination of a Ilower. They have no rebound in their nature. They never do anything more than smile. There arc no great tides of f( cling surging up from the depths of their soul, in billow after billow of reverberating laughter. They seem as if nature had built them by contract, and made a bundling job out of it. Jjut blessed be God. there arc people in the world who have bright faces, and whose life is a soug, an anthem, a Piean of victory. Even their troubles are like the vines thai crawl up the side of a <:reat tower, on the top of which the sunlight sits, and the soil airs of summer hold perpetual carnival. Thev are the people you like to have come to your house; they are people I like to have come to my house. If you but touch the hem of Uieir garments, you are healed. Now it is the?e exhilarant ami sympathetic and warm hearted people that are most tempted to pernicious amusements. In proporiiou as a ship is swift, it wants a strong helmsman; i:i proportion as a horse is gay, it wants a stout driver; and these people of exubeiant nature will do well to look at the reaction of all their amusements. If <11 amusement sends you home at niiiht nervous, so that you cannot sleep, and you rise up in the morning, not because you arc slept out, but because your duty dra^s you from jour slumbers, you have been where you ought not to have been. There are amusements that send a man next day to his work bloodshot, yawning, stupid, nauseated: and they arc worng kinds oi amusement. There are entertainments that give a man disgust with the drudgcy of life : ' with tools because they arc not swords: Willi working aprons because they are ! not robes: with cattle because they are not infuriated bulls of the arena. If any amusement sends you home longing for a life of romance and thrilling advenuuv. love that takes poison a. d shoots uself, |k moonlight adventures and hair-breadth HI* escapes, you may depend upon it that you are the sacrificed victim ot unsanctified pleasure. Our recreations are i?|| tended to build us up; and if they pull us aown, as to our moral or as loour pny sical strength, you may come io the cona? elusion that they are obnoxious. * There is nothing more depravim; than attendance upon amusements that are full of innuendo and low suggestion. The young man enters. At lirst he sits far back, with his hat on and his coat collar up, fearful that somebody there may know him. Several nights pass on. lie takes oil" his hat earlier, and puis his coat-collar down. The blush that first came mto his cheek when anything iude;ent was enacted comes no more to his check. Farewell, young man! You have probably started on the long road tvMeh ends in consummate destruction, j < 1 I:esturs ofl.cpe will iro f:ut one by one. j r unt:! you will he lelt in utter darkness, j \ IIc-ar u?u n'?t the rush oi the maelstrom. J iri ul.osc outer circle your bout now ! 1 (iaiic'S. Miakii;.'merry with the whirling ! t waters.' j>ui you are ueiui; ur-wu iu, t \ ami the senile motion will become ter- ! i rllic agnation. You cry for help. Iu 1 1 vain ! l'ou pull at the oar to put back, i c but the struggle will not avail ! You s w:ll be tossed, and dashed, and ship- 1 wrecked, and swallowed in the whirlpool \ that has already crushed iu its wrath ten 1 thousand hulks. 1 I saw a beautiful home where the bell f rauic violently late at niyjht. The son 1 had been oil' in sinful indulgences. Ilis c comrades were bringing him home, iJ They carried him to the door. They 1 thy bell atone o'clock in the morn- ^ rather and mother came down. 1 They were waiting for tiie wandering N sou. and then the comrades, as soon as the door was opened, threw the prodi- J gal headlong iuto the door-way, crying. "There he is, drunk as a fool. Ila. ha!" v 1 - . .. . f u lien men go into amusements umi ; lhey cannot afi'ord, they lirst borrow :what they canDot earn, and then they s steal what they cannot borrow. First ' thej" into embarrassment. and then v into lying. and then into theft; and when a man gets as far on as that, he does c not stop short of the penitentiary. There is not a nrison in the land where there c arc not victims 01' nnsanctilied amuse- 1 meets. I How brightly the path of unrestrained j amusement opens. The young man \ says, "Now i am oil' for a good time. Never mind economy. I'll get money * somehow. What a line road! What a " beautiful day for a ride! Crack the whip, and ovcn ike L L'o.u^ J Jx^iiL^eaUh. plenty of ridesjust] TiKe litis ' liard-working men near tne clatter ol the hoof's, and look up and say, "Why, I wonder where those fellows uct their money from ! We have to toil and drudge. They do nothing!" To these i;ay men life is a thrill and an excitement. They stare at other people. and in turn are stared at. The watchchaiu jingles. The cup foams. The cheeks llush. The eyes Hash. The midnight hears their guffaw. They suai;L':tr. They jostle decent, men oil the sidewalk. They take the name of God in vain. They parody the hymn j the\ learned at their mother's knee ; and to all pictures of coming disaster they ! cry out, Who cares !" and "to thecounI scl of some Christian friend, 4iWho are youl''' Passing along the street some [ night, you hear a shriek in a grog-shop, the rattle of the watchman.s club, the rush of the police. What is the matter now ? Oh, this reckless young man has been killed in a tirog-shoj) light. Carry him home to his father's house. Parents will come and wash his wounds, and close his eyes in death. They forgive him all he ever did, although he cannot in his silence ask it. The prodigal has aot home at last. Mother will lo to her little garden, and yet the sweetest (lowers, and twist them into a chaplet for the silent heart of the wayward boy, and pusu hack from the hloale.i brow the long locks that were once her pride. And the air will be rent with ihe agony. The s^reat dramatist says. "IIow sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child." I go further, ana say those are unchristian amusements which become the chief business of a man's life. Life is an earnest thing. Whether we were born in a palace or hovel; whether we are atlluent or pinched, we have to work. If you do not sweat with toil, you will sweat with disease. You have a soul that is to be transfigured amidst the pomp of a judgment day; and after the sea has sung its last chant, and the mountain shall have come down in an avalanche ol rock, you will live and think and act, high on a "throne where seraphs sing, or deep in a dungeon where demons how!. In a world where there is so much to do for vourselves, and so much to do for others. God pity that man who lias no tiling to do. Your sports are merely means to an end. They are alleviations and helps. The arm of toil is the only arm strong enough to bring up the bucket out of the ' deep '.veil of pleasure. Amusement is : only the bower where business and philanthropy rest while on their wav to stirring achievements. Amusements ' arc merely the vines that grow about the ' anvil of toil, and the blossoming of the hammers. Alas! for the man who , spends his life in laboriously doiug noth- , ing, his days in hunting up loungingplaces and loungers, his nights in seeking out some gaslighted foolery! The man who always has on his sporting- 1 jacket, ready to hunt for game in the j mountain or fish in the brook, with no time to pray, or work, or read, is not so ' well oil'as the greyhound that runs by j his side, or the tly bait wilh which he j whips the stream. A man who does not work, does not \ know how to pray. If God had iuten- ^ <]. ><] ii< f.-i (]r>tintliin-"- hut lunch }1f. wnnlr] not have given us shoulders with which to lift, and hands with which to work, and brains with which to think. The amusements of life are merely the orchestra playing while the great tragedy of live plunges through its live atcs?injury, childhood, manhood, old age, and death. Then exit the last earthly opportunity. Enter the overwhelming realities of an eternal world ' I further, and say that all those amusements are wrong which lead into bad company. It you go to any place where you have to associate with the intemperate, with the unclean, with the abandoned, however well they may be dressed, in the name of God quit it. They will despoii your nature. They will undermine your moral character. They will drop you when you are dei "? HM ' *11 * i *. Mioua. luuv wui t;ive uoii one ceiii j lo support your children when you are dead. They will weep not one tear at 1 your burial. They will chuckle over * your damnation. * I had a friend at the West?a rare friend. He was one of the first 10 wel- ^ come me to my new home. To line ' personal appearance, he added a generosity, frankness, and ardor ot nature *; that made me love him like a brother. * liut 1 saw evil people ^atlierin^ around him. They came up Irom the saloons, 1 from the gamblinij-hells. They plied ' h;m with a thousand arts. They seized * upon his social nature, and he could not . stand the charm. They drove him on c the rocks, like a ship full-winded, shiverimr on the breakers. 1 used to admou ;s:i nun, i woum say, _\ow x wish you won!.] ?juit the*e bad habits, and become t a Christian." "Oh," he would reply. v "I would like to; 1 would like to; but I 'nave none so far I don't think there is j any way hack." In his moments of re- j pentance. he would uo home and take t his latlc uirl ofeyht- years, and embrace [ her convulsively, and cover her with t adornments and strew around her piclures and toys, and everything that 1 could make her happy; and then, as 11 though hounded by an evil spirit, he ? would izo cut to the enilaming cup and 1 and the house of shame, like a fool to * the correction ol the stocks. c 1 wa> summoned to his death-bed. I i j. hastened. I entered the room. I found j him. to my surprise, lying in full everyday dress on the couch. I put out my hand. lie crashed it excitedly, and said. *"^it down. JNli. Talmaire; right there." I sat down. lie said. "Last \ ninht I saw my mother, who has been j dead twenty years, and she sat just t where you sit cow. It was no dream. ( I was wide awake. There was no delu- f sion in the matter. I saw her just as j plainly as I see you Wife, I wish you i tvoulrf take these strings off of inc. There ire string spun all around my body.

"Oh." replied i C lis wife, "my dear, thete is nothing ! .here.'*' lie went on and said, ".lust j vhere vou sit now, Mr. Talma^e. my ! t, nother sat. She said to rae: 'Ilcnry, i [ do wish you would do better.' I got >ut of bed- put my arras around her, and I ;aid, 'Mother, I want to do better. I lave been trying to do better. Won't . uu hejp mo to do better? You used to j( lelp rae.' Xo mistake about it. no dc- ^ usion. I saw hrr?the cap and the n tprou and the spectacles, just as she ;i ised to look twenty years ago:?but I r io wish you would take these strings a iway. They annoy me so. I can hard- V y talk. Won't you take them away." t' . Knelt down and prayed, conscious of j t; he fact that he did not realize what 1 j v vas saying. 1 got up. I said. "Good-!? >ye; 1 hope you *'ill be better soon." V lesaid. "Good-bye, good-bye." j That nhjht his soul went to the God s vhogavelt. Arrangements were made n or the obsequies. Some said, "Don't J >ring him m the church; he was too dis- u olute." "Oh," i said, "briuir him. jj de was a good friend of mine while he slivf> nrul \ shall stand bv him now C hat he is dead. Bring him to the d ihurch." t As I sat in the pulpit and saw his body P :oming up through the aisle, 1 felt as it' 0 . could weep tears of blood. I told the 51 )eople that day, "This man had his vir- . ures, ami a good man}' of the in. lie r lad his faults and a good many of them. 3ut,if there is any man in this audience n vho is without sin. let him cast the first Y stone at this coffin-lid." On one side i lie pulpit sat that little child, rosy, s iweet-faced. as beautiful is any little t phan child. Oh, her countenance haunts me to-day, like some sweet face looking upon us through a horrid dream. On the other side of the pulpit were the men wh > had destroyed him. There they sat, hard-visaged, some of them pale from exhausting disease, some of them flush cd until it seemed as il' the lires ol' iniquity llamed through the cheek and crackled the lips. They were the men who had done the work. They were the men who had bound him hand" aud foot. They had kindled the lires. They had poured the wormwood and gall into that orphan's cup. Did they weep? Xo. Did they sigh repentingly ? Xo. Did they say, "What a pity that such a brave man should be slain?" Xo, no: not one bloated hand was lifted to wipe a tear from a bloated cheek. They sat aud looked at the coilin like vultures gazing at the carcass of a lamb whose heart they had ripped out! I cried in their ears as plaiuly as I could "There is a God and a judgment-day !" Did they tremble? Ohno.no. They went back from the house of God, and that night, +Vi/mhy1i tljisir victim lnv in kitvi. ' ? ceme'.ery, 1 was told that they blasphemed. aud they drank, and they gambled, and there was not one less customer in all the houses of iniquity. This destroyed man was a Sanisou in phypl-1 cal strength, but Delilah sheared him. and the Philistines of evil companionship dug his eyes out and threw him into the prison ol evil habits. But in the hour of his death he rose up and took hold of the two pillared curses of God against drunkenness and uncleanness, and threw himself forward, until down unon him and his companions there came the thunders of au eternal catastrophe. Again: any amusement that gives you a distastie for domestic life is bad. IIow l many bright domestic circles have been broken up by sinful amusements! The father went oil", the mother went oil", the child went off. There are to-day the fragments- before me of blasted ! households. Oh. if you have wandered : r Ki.? V,o,.L- 1 a?av, jl wuuiu uu i^nanu juu by the sound of that one word "Home." Do you not know that you have but little more time to give to domestic J welfare? Do you not see, father, that ' you children are soon to go out into J the world, and all the influence lor aood , you are to have over them you must j have now? Death will break in on your ( conjugal relations, and, alas, if you have i to stand over the grave of one who per- ; ished from your neglect! ] I saw a wayward husband standing 1 at the deathbed of his Christian wil'c, < and I saw her point to a ring on her 1 finger, and heard hsr say to her husband, { 'Do you sec that ring?" lie replied, 1 "Yes: I see it." Well" said she, "do ? you remember who put it there?" "Yes," c said he, "I put it there," and all the ' past seemed to rush upon hem. 13y the | iiemory of that day when, in the presjnce of men and augels, you promised Lo be faithful in joy and sorrow, and in \ iickuess and in health; by the memory ? )f those pleasant hours when you sat i ??> n-- +ollrir\nr r\ f n \ aright future; by the cradle and the ( joyful hour when one life was spared < >nd another given; by that sick-bed j ;vhen the little one lifted up the hands . md called for help, and you knew he mist die, aud he put one arm arouud j Jach of your necks and brought you very t lear together in tiiat dying kiss; by the ittle grave in Greenwood that you never t ,hink of without a rush ot tears: by the \ amily liible, where amidst stones of i leavenly love, is the brief but expres? j: sive record of births and deaths: by the t legiccts Oi the past, and by the agonies s .f the future: by a judgment day. when ! msbauds and wives, parents and chil- i lren,in immortal groups, will stand s ,o be caught up in shining array, or to * shrink down into darkness; by all that. ^ [ beg you give to home your best ail'ec- " ,ions. s Ah. my friends, there in an hour com- s ng when our past life will probably a lass before us in review.

It was not; an unruly, ' lidnight mob. It was simply a sullen, J eterrrnnea bDily of citizens, who took ^ uto tru-ir own hands what justice had ' jnoininiously failed to do. Chief of I'olice Ilennessy was siain on J )ctober 15th, and that very night evi- < .enee began to accumulate showing ' hat his death had been deliberately 5 'lanned by a secret tribunal and carried ) ut boldly and successfully by the tools ? if the conspirators. The tr al lasted wenty-(ive days, and though the evi- ? ence seemed conclusive, the jury, curentiy charged with having been tarn- ; >erecl with, failed to convict. Last light a body of cool-headed men, law- ' ers. doctors, merchants and political ( eaders, all persons ot' inlluence and J ocial standing quietly met and decided ' hat some action must be taken, and ( lie people's justice, swift and sure, . 'isitt-d upon those whom the jury had 1 ??*c'eied to punish.

The cali was answered by the populace. At. 10 o'clock there was a crowd of several thousand anxious people congregated on and around the Clay statue. They hardly knew what was going t.o happen, but they seemed ready to go to any length, and while there were, of course, many of the lower element in the throng, a large propoition were leading people of the town. There were tiiree addresses, short aud pithy and business like, and the assemblage, not unwillingly, was soon keyed up to a high pitch, aud demonstrative in its denunciation of the assassins. Each of the speakers said there had been a great mass meeting months before which had met queitly and dispersed ?w:ifi4'nllv so that the law might take its course. The law had failed, ami the time to act had come. W. S. Parkerson, the leader, is a prominent l uvyer here, President of the Southern Athletic Club and the man who led a vigorous city reform movement three years ago. Walter D. Deneger, another of the speakers, is one of the leaders of the New Orleans bar. John Wickliffe is also a prominent Attorney, and James I). Houston, one of the foremost men of the State. After denouncing Detective O'Mallay, who is supposed to have tampered with the jury, the speakers announced that they would lead the way to the parish prison. Wickliffe concluded with these words: ''Shall the execrable Mafia be allowed to flourish in this city? Shall the Mafia be allowed to cut down our citizens on the public streets by foul means of assassination? Shall the Mafia be allowed to bribe jurors to let murderers go free?" Jjy this time the crowd had swelled to 3,000 or more, and before any one could realize what had nappeneci, me great throng, gaining recruits at every step, was tramping down the street toward the neighborhood of the prison, stopping only once, and that was at the ursenal where double artillery, shotguns, Winchester ritles and * pistols were handed out to responsible and respectable citizens in the party. Staring o 1 l the crowd had an electric effect )n~the city. Soon the streets were alive ivith people running from all directions uid joining the main body, which moved sullenly down Rampart street ;o the jail, near Congo square. Doors md windows were thrown open and nen, women and children crowded on ;he galleries to encourage those who ivere taking part and to witness the icenes. When the main crowd from Canal street reached the prison there had tlready collected there a dense throng, ill eager to taKe nana in wnaiever nijrht "happen. When the vanguard of irmed citizens reached the prison, vhich is many squares from Canal itreet that grim old building was sur ounded on all sides. Sheriff Villere, ,vhen he heard that a movement was >n foot to take the prisoners, armed his ieputies and then started on a hunt ' or Mayor Spakspeare. The Italian Jonsul and Attorney General llogers ; oined in the pursuit, but his honor loes not rea-jh his oflice until noon and le was not to be found at any of his egular haunts. The Governor had not heard of the ^ uprising and he had no time to act, and ; he police force was too small to offer ; nuch resistance to the army of aven- ; :ers. Superintendent Gaster had or- : lered an extra detail of officers to be 1 ent to the jail and the small crowd j ;ept the sidewalks around the old build- ' ng clear until the great multitude, j welling all the time, like a mighty J cnvcrpfi nrmirul t.he rinnr ! L>'U l!i^ ^llV.lVUi w v. v. ? Lini crowded the little band of blue:oats away. Captain Lem Davis was m guard at the main entrance with a ' cant force of deputies. They were < wept away like chaff before the wind, ir>d in an "instant the ante-room was ammed with excite ! men. I , Meantime the prisoners were stricken l vith terror, for they could hear disinctly the shouts < !' the people with- , mt madly demanding their blood. In- | locent and guilty alike were frightened ( >ut ol' their senses, and prisoners, who , vere charged with crimes other than ' :omplicity in the murder of the Chief, j tlso shared in the general demoralizeion. Some of the braver ones, a repesentation of the Matia, wanted to die ( iffhting for their lives, ana they pleaded 1 or weapons with which to defend 1 hemselves, and when they could not t ind these they souerht hiding places, i The deputies thinking1 to deceive the i rowd transferred the nineteen men to ] tie female department, and there the t nissing Sicilians trembled in terror mtil the moment when the doors t vould \ield to the angry throng on the ( nt. side. Captain Davis refused the request to f >pen the prison and the crowd hejjan : he work of battering in the doors. 1 Lround on Orleans street there was a c cavv wooden door, which had been < ecurely barred in anticipation of the i oming of the avengine mass. This i he crowd selected ;is their best chance t f getting in. Neighboring houses i eautlv supplied axes ana battering ? ams and willing hands went to work force an opening:. This did not ( rove a iliflibult task to the trembling t nt determined throng. .Soon there j ras a crash and the door gave way and j i an instant armed citizens were pour- . Qg through the small opening, while a lighty shout went up from 10,000 s hroats in glad acclamation.

In a moment, the key was i produced. Then the leader called !' ?r ': someone who knew the ri/rht men and j; volunteers responded and the door 1 svas thrown open. The gallery was deserted, but an old woman speaking us ; fast as she could, said the men were up j' stairs. A party of seven or ei^ht qui-.-k- ;' y ascended the stair case, and ;is they r reached the lauding the assassins lie.! 1 iown at the other end. A half dozju | ^ followed them. Scarcely a word was - spoken. It was time for action. When j pursued and their pursuers reached t!?? . stone court yard the former darted to- | ivard tfte Orleans sid^ of the gallery *nd crouched down beside 'lie ceils. Their faces blanched, and being unarmed they were absolutely defenseless; In fear and trembling- they screamed tor mercy, but the avengers were m--r- : nltss. Bang! bang! b mg! bang! Re- I ports of murderous weapons and a leadly rain of bullets poured into the touching figures. ~ Geraehi, the closest man. was struck .n the back of the head and his body pitched forward and lay immovable on :he stone pavement. "Romero fell to ais knees, with his lace in his hands, ind in that position was shot to death.

When Graupc, one of the assassins, whs discovered on the gallery, Maci.eca, .ScalTecU and old man Marchesi separated iroin the other six and ran up stairs. Thither a half do/Ki men followed them, and as the terrorstricken assassins ran into their cells they were slain. Joe Macheca, who was charged with being the arch conspirator, was a short, fat man, and was summarily dealt with. He had his back turned when the shot struck him immediately behind the ear and his death was instantaneous. Politz, the cra/.y man, was locked up j in a cell up stairs. The doors a'ere ! llung open, and one of the avengers, taking aim, shot him through the body. He was not killed outrisrhr. and in order to satisfy the peopU: on the outside who were crazy to know what was going on within, he was dragged down stairs, and through the doorway by which the crowd hat' entered. Half carritd, half dragged, he was taken to the corner. A rope was provided and tied around his neck, and tlv people pulled him up to a crossbar. Not sat islied that he was dead a score of men poured a volley of shot into his body, and for several hours his body was h it dangling in the air. Just as soon as the work was done Parkerson addressed the crowd and asked them to disperse. This they consented to do with ringing shouts, hut first thev made a rush for Parkerson and lifted him bodily and supported him on their shoulders while they ; marched up the street. The avengers j came back in a boby to Clay street j where they dispersed. Immense crowds rushed from all directions to the neighborhood of the tragedy, while the street i in front of the newspaper ofiices were blocked with people anxious tojee the latest bulletins. There was intense suppresses excitement, but from one end of the citv to the other the action of the citizens was applauded. O'Mallev, the detective, who would have shared the fate of the assassins if he had been cauirht has disappeared and is not expected to return, and the members of the jury are in haling. The atmosphere has been considerably purged, and though there is a big crowd on Canal street to night the trouble seems now over. The prison was surrounded until dark with a motly multitude, but the police found no difficulty in maintaining good order. The bodies of some of the slain were removed this evening. Caruso was married, but had no children, Romero has a wife and children, and Macheca a wife and family. Comitez leaves a wife. The stock exchange met to-day and discussed the action of foreman Seligman of the Hennessey jury. Asa result of the discussion .Seligman was ex- 1 pelled.

Washington, March 12?Senator Butler and Representative Hemphill of South Carolina, who have been'spending a few days in Xew York city since the adjournment of Congress, returned to Washington to-day. While there, they were entertained by members of the Southern Society, and listened to con siuerauie puuiicui yussip <uiu Bpcuuia* tion from a Xew York standpoint. Among Southern men there is a general feeling of reg- >t at constant quarreling between son. of the alleged friends of ex-President Cleveland and Senatorelect Hill. Those persons who are interested i;i the success of the Democratic party throughout the entire country, as a rule believe Mr. Cleveland will be the strongest candidate before the people. There are others, who are personally interested in Xew York politics, who insist that Ilill must be the nominee or the Democrats will lose the State. Mr. Hemphill says it is too early yet to indulge in Presidential speculations, but unless there is an unlooked-for change of sentiment Mr. Cleveland will easily secure the nomination of his party. Some of the Xew York politicians predict there will be three well-sustained candidates for the Presidency in the held next election, as the Farmers' Alliance movement annears to be increasing in stead or diminishing. The fight looks to some to be a combination of the South and West against the Eastern and Middle .States, with the tariff and silver questions for the issue. But such a view is superticial, as tariff reform is making as much a headway in the East as in the West.?Baltimore Sun. * Victim of Kussian Tyranny. Philadelphia, March 14?There died in the Philadelphia hospital yesterday a man with a history. Matthew Zaleskevix, a Kussian refugee. He was bora iu Kostronia, near Moscow, filty years ago, aud entering the army rose rapidly until he become commander of the body guard of the Czar, the present ruler's father. He then resigned to undertake commercial pursuits, aud soon became one of the leading grain merchants of the liussias and obtained much renown as a philanthropist. Through the malignity of a discharged servant a charge of collusion with the Nihilists was brought against him, his J immense estates were confiscated, and ] he was thrown into prison. His excellent military record saved him from being ' sent to Siberia, and after suffering four ' years of solitary confinement he escaped : and made his way to Odessa. From j there lie was carried in a saling vessel ( to a Mediterranean port, and then made 1 his way to London, where, for a time, ! lie worked as a laborer. Friends in this ( country induced him to come to America. , and he ai rived in New York ir Decern- ^ bcr last. The rigorous winter proved j loo much for his broken-down constitution. Three weeks ago he came to Philadelphia, and his ailment increasing, he tinailv drifted penniless and hopeless to ' the Philadelphia hospital, where yester- * :iay he died. 1 The Ship Went Down.
