When searched at the station, a large sized pistol was found in his possession. He was accordingly locked up. charged with carrying concealed weapons and also on suspicion of having, stabbed and killed tAnnie Hinckley in a Vail at the corner of Delord and Rampart streets, at half past 1 o'cIock on the morning of the 2d of January last.

They wets" afterward 4 released on bonds, which they forfeited by leaving the city and departing for the Centennial.

Last Friday they were detected there picking pockets and arrested. On Saturday a true bill was found against them by the Philadelphia Grand Jury, and Monday they were tried. They pleaded in their tiial that they had only been in America seven days, but Special Officer Pearson, detailed from this city to the Centennial, who, at the time of their arrest here, was present, recognized them, and testified in the case. His testimony contributed materially to their conviction. The jury having found them guilty they were sentenced to two years and six months at hard labor in the Cherry Hill Penitentiary.

Pennsylvania. Garroted. TWO BOLD ITALIANS LN SEARCH OF TREASURE. Wednesday night, at o'clock, a man named Fravala Cormier, who has a small dyeing and scouring establishment at the corner of Chartres and St. Ann streets, was sitting at the door of his shop when two Italians entered.

After which one of them snatched his pocket book fiom his pock et, and both ran out. His cries for help attracted the attention of the police officer. Meyran, who was on the beat, and he gave pursuit and succeeded in capturing one of the men at the corner of Decatur and St.

Murder in Bossier. Atioirtal' o'cldck, Toesdar nigut week last, it is reported Deputy Sheriff Bouet and Deputy Clerk Harlow, of Natchitoches, were captured near the coart house of i that town by a. body of armed and disguised men, who made them surrender the keys of the jaiL Immedi ately on receiving the keys, the party went to the jail and shot a colored man, named Anderson Douglas, through the head while in his cell. There were eleven other prisoners in the jaiL but the party went away, re turnings tbe i key 7 withont molesting them. The crime for which Douglas was incarcerated and shot is unknown.

Neither Bouet nor Harlow flpuld recognize any pf4he disguised, hat disavow that "trie T.ransac'tion had anything of a political character in it. jrr From Basal Recently a murder was perpetrated in Bobsier parish, on the Foster plantation, in which a man named Henries was the victim, and one named Hathaway the perpetrator. They had been working on the forr4 nJonth together. Previously they had been in Texas, but they are supposed have originally come from Ohio. Jt Appears that Henries there married the sister of Hathaway, but on coming South left her in her native State till he should have provided a home for her.

While on the Foster plantation both the men fell in love with the same woman and a bitter quarrel ensued in consequence ft Herrries'tf prarkms marital connection The day. of murder, Hathaway appeared in public armed with a double barreled gun and a six shooter. 'He! crossed the ferry, and near ing Henries's house, sent the following note to him; WHU Please come nv hereto the bars. want to seevyour and hare a. long talk witn you vi don't want: to come.tn Anders's.

I am going to leave. Ed. Henries responded to the note by going to meet him, and it is supposed that he was Bhot down without being given an opportunity to defend himself. After the murder Hathaway proceeded to the house and handed to the wife of the manager of the place a letter, remarking that it WQnlrljexplstn why he bad done the deed. The letter was from Gallic county, Ohio, and was written by the wife of the deceased.

When Henries was discovered dead, his right hand was grasping a pistol in his pocket. Hathaway is still at large. The Register Homicide. From the officers of the Grand Ecore packet Bart Able, which arrived here on Thursday evening, we learn that a man by the name of J. L.

was arrested at Natchitoches, by a Mr. Moore, as the man who shot Haddock and Fowler at the Clark plantation some time 'since. After the arrest had been made the sheriff asked Mr. Moore' to assist in. conveying therisoner to jail, which he (Moore) did, and after the sheriff had locked up his prisoner he turned on Moore and produced a warrant for his arrest, alleging that he had killed.

Register sometime eince and that he was wanted at The sheriff set out the next day with a posse of six men and his prisoner for Colfax, and they were met on the road by another party of twelve men from Colfax, who concluded to try the case right tnere, which was done' and the prisoner was liberated. After this the sheriff of Natchitoches returned home and the other party went to Colfax, but before doing so told Mr. Moore that it made no difference whether he should be taken to Colfax or not by the sheriff, the authorities would have acquitted him, as they looked upon his killing of Register as an act of self defense. 11 A1 Curious Boat. New York Herald, May 27.

The Shore Road running in front of the Sailor's Snug Harbor, New Brighton. S. was pretty well tilled yesterday morning by old sailors and persons curious to witness the trial trip of a new yacht built by Mr. Meigs, the bank examiner, at his noose on the island during1 the winter. The yacht has two hulls, running parallel with each other, placed twelve feet apart.

Upon them is a plat form made ol planks, laid about three inches apart. The hulls are a little over two feet beam and thirty feet long. The vessel carries a sail and jib of about the size used by an ordinary yacht of ten tons burden, and has two rudders worked by one wheel. For a few weeks past has been, putting the finishing touches to the vessel that he was confident was going to outsail anything that had ever been launched. The old tars christened her Meigs's Folly.

Meigs called her the Meteor, and expected to liy over the waves at the rate ot 80 knots an hour Yesterday, with a party of six aboard, including the captain, his crew, and four invited guests, who were old sailors from the harbor, she behaved well, except in going about. On a tack with the lee boat under water, and the spray coming up through the deck, she showed a speed of about fourteen Tinots. The eld isalts on shore said they could have improved her wonderfully by altering her sails, making her breadth of beam greater or setting her mastLfurther "aft:" but Mr. Meigs, although she did not come up to his expectations was very well satisfied. After standing upon deck all day, as there was no place to Bit down, the invited guests came ashore at half past 5 o'clock, ln condition.

described ast't Fisherman's lack." except that their pantaloons were wet from the waist down. Notwithstanding their disairree able condition and damp clothes the ar dor ox tneir praise to vheir leliow tars on shore were not cooled when they described her as "a hell of sailer." "Hard times, says New York have made the dressmakers more obliging and shoemakers more punctual."

That the distilleries had paid my predecessor $1000 apiece, i about 112,000 or $14,000 a month, and he desired to make the same arran arenientJ with me. there was no danger in the transaction. as toe money was paid tnrougn, tne AJep uty Collector, Witness answered that the distillers would have to make whisky aooording to law.

Walshe asked the Supervisor, to meet him at some designated point such as the Gait House, in Louisville and to think over the proposition in the meanr while. in I then came to New having telegraphed to Mr. Bell to meet me hern. Visited the distillery of Walshe, bat did not see any errors warranting a seizure of the establishment Left for Louisville the next afternoon. Arrived there Saw Mr.

Walshe in Gait House. Mr. W. went to my office and asked me there Have you ever thought any more about that little affair we were talking about I answered that I had thought about it a great deal, but would have nothing to do with it. I started then for Lexington.

Mr. Walshe took the same train he said he wanted to see the blue grass region. He told me he would leave the next morning for Cincinnati. Next morning Mr. Walshe came around to my office at Lexington.

He said he had remained in order to see a friend of his residing in the town. Mr. W. alluded to the proposition as he was about to depart. He said that when Steadman came to New Orleans he had considerable diffi culty in getting the crooked ways start ed.

Upon reaching Lexington my chief clerk, Thompkins, met me with a telegram from the Commissioner at Washington instructing me to return to, New Orleans. 1 answered that it was important for me to see the Commissioner before leaving: I went toiVashington and saw Mr. Bnstow. I related to him what had occurred. Returned to New Orleans with my chief clerk.

I thought it a good plan to place reliable men in the positions of gangers and storekeepers in the distilleries. I ent to Louisville and selected men whom I knew, and placed them in Carey's distillery. The establishment ran only five days after this. The yield had been averaging 2.80, but after placed under control of the new gangers, it was 3.90, showing that one gallon per bushel bad been stolen. The distillery was assessed for back, taxes to the amount of $24,000.

I had two storekeepers over the distillery, one of whom was a resident of New Orleans, the otber was from Kentucky. I told ttie latter I would relieve him on Julv 1st, 1875. About 28th of June was in Louisville, and met there the Kentucky storekeeper, who said, that the whisky had all been taken oat. About three days after the whisky was taken out the distillery was seized. The seizure could not legally have been made prior to the time it was as the taxes were assessed on the May.

list. Supervisor Tutton snoke to Collector Cochrem about the withdrawal of the whisky, but I do not know what explanation he gave of it. When Walshe made the offer of $12,000 he said he desired me to remain away from New Orleans, Capt. Eads. was introduced and ex tended an invitation to the committee to visit the jetties in the yacht Julia.

The' invitation was accepted bat no day! fixed I understand that two gauffers who were discharged by the Commissioner of i Patrick Harnan were afterwards engaged in the Custom House. My predecessor was Mr. Cobb. Walshe said he had talked" to Mr. Cockrem before he came to see me.

Mr. Douglass, Commissioner of Internal! Kevenue, bad asked for. the removal of Supervisor Cobb several times. Do Dot know whether any charges wens made against him. A letter was referred to me which charged Simon Flatow with having tailed to keep books while a dealer in tobacco.

He was afterwards made dep nty collector about the time that Mr. Cockrem camsj into office. The judgment obtained against him was unpaid, at the time. With Tegard to wholesale liquor deaU' ers and rectifiers' stamps, witness stated; that the custom had prevailed of charging 25c. instead of the legal rate of 10c.

for these stamps. These charges were made by the gangers. Todd and liamari, and I immediately had them dismissed. The Government did at one tame charge 25 cents before the law was changed. The old stamp continued to be used, however 25 cents appearing on the face.

The gangers never attempted toeon trovert the tenth of the ehargea against them. ti 'n I made a report in May, 1875 relative to the rands on the Government committed by the distillers here, Aad afterwards the taxes were assessed. 1 1 don't know of any oaee in which parties were continued in offioe after charges against them were preferred 1 heard of an attempt by officers of tha departments, to have Col. Cockrem removed. I 1 'fThe witness then concluded his testi moriy and a recess was taken, after which the ccrmmittee went Into executive session, ''The committee transacted nojtasiness of importance last evening'.

7: ii fv iH When last seen yesterday evening the schooner was a total wreck and had sunk to the water's edge. 7' The experiment took place at 25, batH the number of spectators was few. 'The schooner was moored opposite the head of the New Canal, at the 2 mile picket. Mr. Wingard went in his skiff alone with his apparatus.

The spectators and the commit tee Btood on 'the shore awaiting developments. The distance between the operator and the victim wa one mile. The hour was favorable to the prosecution of the experiment, there being no craft hovering in the vicinity. Those on shore watched the proceedings with breathless interest, which was soon relieved by a flash from the skiff containing Wingard. About one minute and a half afterward there was a puff of smoke from the schooner and imme diately the explosion followed, the vessel blowing up by the stern and sinking to the water's edge.

The proces verbal which follows will explain, the condition of the vessel: Brown's lake Park House, June W76. We. the undersigned committee, have just witnessed Mr. YVmgard's demonstration of the nameless force. At 35 minutes past 2 P.M.

Mr. Wingard discharged and a flash of smoke occurred, and one minute and a half after the schooner, moored at one mile and three fifths, blew: up by the stern and sunk, to the water's edge. G. Forshky, L. P.

W. came ashore, the committee went to visit with him the vessel in a sailboat. Even the small timbers aft the mainmast were broken all to pieces. The masts still stand, but all else is wrecked, so that it will not bear towin? ashore. The flag was torn to pieces and fell to half mast, wbpre it is still flying.

Mr. Wingard hand is severely burned by the flash. Tbe silk glove with which he held a glass tube did prove a sufficient non conductor. s. The Committee.

Thus far Mr. Wingard may claim a victory. But here a curious statement comes in which it is necessary to state in the' interest of the whole troth. A short time before the explosion a small skiff, containing six men, was observed to approach'the schooner and enter it. In a few minutes they took hastily back to their Skiff and rowed in the direction of the New Lake End.

These men. it is state that they had been out and the schooner; founds some machinery therein, consisting of four inch; gas pipe filled' with and something like a fishing line stretching pat into the water. This, they claim, alarmed them and made them quickly betake from the scene of danger. It is impossible to estimate the value, of this statement, but 'it is due alike to the public and to Wingard that" the parties should come forward if they have any explanation to giv2lJllJ 7.

The Blaine investigation creates an extraordinary sensation; in 'Congress, and public opinion is much divided about Mulligan's testimony 'i i Virginia members renbrt the selection "pf an uncommitted delegation to' St. Yi Ane iJoutweu committee will leave for Mississippi on Monday, Observer. WASHINGTON.

Two StrnteflaentainBlUcaa'a anal 'i 4 Washington, June l. Mr. Milligah desired to make a statement. When he arrived here a note came from Blaine request ing witness and Mr: Fisher' to call at Blaine's house. Witness declined but Fisher went.

Blaine called at Mullagan's hotel. Last night Blaine called, onorit ness again, isner ana Atxras neing present. Blaine asked regarding private letters which Mulligan had. and promised to hand them back, which he did. Blaine afterwards came to witness's room.

where they were alone plead for letters, talked of ruin, his family and suicide asked to read tho letters again. Witness handed them to him, when Blaine gave him back one and retained and has yet" some seventeen letters. After this Blaine spoke of otber matters, asking witness hnw hA wnnlri 1 i if a fn inn acjimmiftdA or how a foreign consulate would suit him. i Blaine made a statement. He has the letters, but says the conversation about suicide and a consulship is all 'imagination.

Blaine says he consulted two friends and to day will consult two of the best lawyers whether anything in the letters refer to the matter noder investigation; namely: the 64,000 bonds which Scott sold to the Union Pacific. The effect in the committee. room was appalling. Mr. Blaine employed himself in folding an envelope very Bquarely and in tearing Madligan's Testlneny Before the Ceanmit tee Extract fresa Blaine' a Statement Tery Nice Reading.

Mulligan testified that Mr. Blaine got $180,000 in land bonds and $32,500 in first mortgage bonds. The Maine men, who bought tbe bonds paid their money to witness. The bonds were sent by express to tbe Maine parties. Witness gave $40,000 in bonds to Blame and paid the rest.

Most of the Maine parties paid $5000 each, and got $15,000 in bonds. The details of Mulligan's statements authenticate the report telegraphed at noon. Extract from Mr. Blaine's statement I called on the three gentlemen, Messrs. Atkins, Fisher and Mulligan, at the Riggs House, and in tbe parlor of Mr.

Atkins 1 had some conversation with Mulligan about these letters and asked him to show them to me. With some apparent reluctance I Baid to him, Why. yoa are not afraid of my keeping them, are yon and he handed them to me. I looked them 'all over, and discovered that there was only one letter in the list that at all bore upon the question before the committee, and even that only by a forced construction and not iff" reality. I handed them back to him.

The conversation then became somewhat general between tbe four gentlemen, including in the room. After awhile Mr. Mulh'gan jwent np stairs to Mr Fisher's room, tight overhead. 1 was talking with Mr. Atkins and Mr.

Fisher for a few and then I started tip to Fisher's room, and knocked A a1a iinA Tttfl TJBTtLfl talked to Mr. Mulligan for sraie time. I may have been there, I think, the better part of an hour, but the form that he gives the interview about my offering him a Consulship, and about my being ruined and all that sort of thing is mere fancy. Nothing of the kind occurred. 1 talked as calmly as am talking this morning.

Very (soon 'I said to him I would like to see one letter among those he had. I wanted to see the letter on which he based his testimony. He handed me the package. I look them all over and I said to him. as I said afterwards in the presence of Mr.

Fisher and Mr. Atkins Now yon keep that letter that you think bears on this matter that is the letter that he has testified to this morning. I am perfectly willing1 yon should keep that, but there is a mass of my private' correspondence covering many years, and detailing matters that 1 have nothing to i do with the subject of the investigation' which it would probably be embarrassing to me to have published, any man's private correspondence would be. and I don't want it Yon have no tight to them. There are only two persons in the world that have a right to One is the wiiter and the other the person to whom mey were written, jnow ii youwm give these letters to Mr.

Fisher, I will be Continued oa Last Fafft.
