Nobody asks such a question who has ever used tbem; for who praises not the bridge which has car- Tied him safely over the yawning gulf of disease? Strangers may inquire, but their surprise vanishes when they learn that Dr.

Radway's Pills are the only vegetable substitute for calomel, mercury, and antimony; that they are composed ot extracts of roots, herbs, plants, gums, and balsams, prepared, not in the common way, but in that only the curative active principle of these ingredients enters into the production of these Pills, instead of crude drugs, one half the substaneo of which is inert matter: that, being tbus highly concentrated, from two to four Pills evacuate the bowels more thoroughly, and exercise a more healthful influence on the spleen, the liver, the kidneys, and so on, than eight to ten ot the ordinary purgative or alterative pills in general use. Are not these substantial reasons lor the popularity of Dr. Radway's Pills? They are not merely laxative but aperient; not merely tonic but stimulant; not merely sudorific but counter-irritant. -I'ley have often procured the desired discharge from the bowels when Croton oil, Harlem oil. Elaterium, Podophilon, have all failed.

Besides this, the weak as well as the strong can take Dr. Radway's Pills Willi comfort and success. The dyspeptic, the sufferer trom biliousness, from liver derangements, and from spleeu and kidney difficulties, all may rely with equal confidence upon the curative properties of these Pills for they never fail. Add to this the dainty form in which they are put, the perfect tastelessness which their gum-covering effects, and their low price, 25 cents per box, and we may easily account for the popularity of Radway's Regulating Pills.

From Fortress Monroe. FORT MONROE, Va, May following additional particulars have been obtained in relation to the steamer Washington Irving, which left Norfolk yesterday afternoon under such mysterious circumstances, creating intense excitement as she passed out of the harbor by disregarding throe heavy shots fired at her from a sand battery on the beach, and repeated hails and volleys of musketry from a pursuing steamer: It appears that sho was seized at Norfolk several days ago by the United States Marshal in a cause of contract with the United States Government, and also libelled by ether parties for debts incurred in that city. During yesterday the Government claim, amounting to eleven hundred dollars, was paid by her owners, and shortly afterwards she was cut loose from her moorings and started down the river. A telegram to this effect was sent to Major General Miles, commanding the district, who issued instructions for a steamer to start in pursuit as soon as she appeared in sight. The pursuing steamer failed to intercept her, and she proceeded to sea, having been fired at three times from the fort, and received several volloys of musketry.

Towards evoning a guard of men was placed on board the quarantine steamer Eliza Hancox, at Cape Henry, and she started in pursuit of the Washington Irving and overtook her about nine miles cast of Smith's Island. The guard boa aed ber, sought an interview with the Captain, and endeavored to persuade him to return, but met with an emphatic refusal, on the plea that his steamer was on the high seas, and beyond the jurisdiction of the civil authorities of Virginia. Captain Shutes, of the I Hancox.havingnoinstructionsin regard tothe affair, was undecided how to act, but taking the part of discretion, returnedhere about twelve o'clock last night to await further instructions, leaving the Irving drifting about at sea in chargo of the guard of one Sergeant and two men detailed from the sth United States Artillery. A misunderstanding evidently exists in regard to the whole affair, and is attributed by many persons to injudiciousness on the part of the military authorities in so hastily acting upon the information of a mere telegram rom a sheriff of police in Norfolk. The further instructions were not given the Eliza this morning, and sho resumed her station on the quarantine grounds.

One man was wounded on board of the Washington Irving, and her captain, thought to bo named Olny, asserted ho had a regular clearance from the Norfolk Custom House. The Washington Irving did not make her appearance in the harbor to-day, as was confidently expected, and the presumption now is that she proceeded Dorthwanl with the intention of reaching cither Philadelphia or New York. The whole transaction naturally created a great deal of excitement here, and many speculations are rife as to the sequel of the proceedings. The fact that the Government claim on the steamer was adjusted, and the United States Marshal having released her before she started away from Norfolk, has occasioned a doubt in the mind 3 of those most conversant with the details of the occurrence as to the propriety of firing on her as sho passed out of the harbor. SHOCKING A Man on accident of a terrible character occurred in the basement of premises No.

46J Eighth avenue, on Saturday night. The police and the passers-by were apprised of the disaster by the appearance of a burning man rushing through the street and screaming at the top of his voice. The night was quite dark, and the spectacle was of a most appalling character. They were suddenly astonished and alarmed at first by what appealed to be a column of fire about fifteen feet in height, bursting from the basement of the tenement mentioned, and rushing down the street at a fearful speed, accompanied by the most appalling screams, which appeared to issue from the very bosom of the burning shaft. The howling man of flame sped down the street, like an omen of death, for nearly an ontiro block, swaying to and fro, and finally falling to the ground.

The police then beesmo aware that the flaming column was a burning man, whose clothes had taken fire from the explosion of a kerosene lamp, occasioned by carelessness, in the basement of No. Eighth avenue. The unfortunate man (Antoine Keien) was cared for, but it is not expected that he can recover. Two others, the proprietor and a man named Deltmon, were also dreadfully burned, If. 1.

A JluMercr Subdued by IDlorofojin. The Cleveland Herald of Saturday has the following account of tbo execution and previous conduct of Cooper, a desperado, convicted of the murder of a man named Kodebaugh: After 1 he desperate attempt made by Cooper to break iail on Sunday night, he remained remarkably qfciet, but it was thought by tho.se who had watched him the closest, and knew his disposition the best, that there was something wicked brewing.

Close observation of his movements convinced Sneriff Jennings that another attempt to escape would be made, and he concluded to place bini in irons. By some means, probably through some of the prisoners. Cooper became aware of the intention of the sheriff. It was decided to put the irons on him on Wednesday. During the day he went into his cell, and barricaded himself within it.

Ho tore up his Dunk and placed the pieces against the door. When the sheriff came to shackle him, ho swore that no one should enter his cell, and that the irons should never go on his limbs while he was alive. lie was perfectly wild with excitement. His eyes glistened through the barred door like tho-e of an infuriated tiger. He raved and tore around his cell like a mad man, cursing ADII swearing in the most blasphemous manner.

Tho sheriff found it would be impossible to confine him without considerable assistance, lie therefore ordered in several of the prominent men of the town, to consult as to the best course to bo pursued. Among them was Dr. D. K. Jenninfs, who proposed that chloroform should be used to subdue the enraged murd-rer.

It was at first objected to by some, but Drs. Keyea and Orabm being consulted, it was decided thatthat was the only means of accomplishing the desired end. Two largo syringrs were procured, that would each hold about one pound of the subtle fluid. The syringes were filled with the. chloroform, a bed quilt procured to place over the grating oi the cell door, and after everything was prepared the contents of one of the syringes was discharged into th 6 cell, and luckily struck Cooper full in the face, lie wa3 somewhat taken back by this novel procedure and told them to come in with their doctor stuff', but they would never subdue him in that manner.

A second discharge of the chloroform laden syringe, did the work. In little less than four minutes from the time of the first injection ofthe chloroform, the raging man was quiet and sank down on the floor perfectly The sheriff and his assistants took bim out into the corridor of jail, where the manacles were placed on his leg 3 and arms. In ahout fifteen minutes he revived, but the deed wtu done and he wa? unable to do further harm. As soon as he became able to speak and move, he raised his manacled hands and said, with an oath, "Gentiemen, you have showed a good deal of wit, but you arc a set of cowards." This took place on Wednesday. In the process of injecting tho chloroform into tbo cell, a poition of the fluid struck him in the eyes, and other portions went into his bosom, blistering his body considerably, One of his eyes was quite badly inflamed on the day of the execution.

THE EXECUTION At ten minutes to one o'clock tho court house bell was rung, as signal that those who had received tickets could enter to witness tho execution. Between eighty and one hundred persons were admitted. Tho prisoner was then prepared for the scaffold. Cooper had a few minutes conversation with the Rev. Mr.

Hall, and joined in a prayer at the foot of the gallows. Just previous to this he had expressed a desire to inspect the scaffold, which was granted, and he mounted the 3teps to the platform, and examined tho traps, ropes and other accessories to the fatal drop. At one o'clock he came upon the scaffold for tho last time, accompanied by tho Sheriff and his assistants. Ho had a cigar in his mouth, and on reaching the platlorin ho was seated in a chair. Sheriff Jeunings then stepped forward and read the warrant for the execution of Jack Cooper.

He asked bim if he had anything to say, and ho answered that he bad. Then followed one of tho most incoherent, rambling and maudlin speeches that over was listened to. It was impossible to report it. nrd even if reported would be read with no satisfaction. I He reiterated the main facts in his former eonfes- I sion.

He wandered and rambled through a jumble of words in the most sickening manner lor twenty minutes, at the end of which time he was told that his hour had come. Tbe Rev. Mr. Hall and the prisoner knelt upon the platform, aud a prayer was said, during which the minister was repeatedly interrupted by Cooper. At the conclusion of the prayer, his legs and arms were pinioned, and tho rope was about to bo put around bis neck, when ho seized it, and after a fefc more incoherent words, placed it over His own head.

He asked the sheriff how long he had to live. "Only one minute." lie then said. "Let me dio; knock it out." At these words the spring was touched, the trap opened, and the spirit of one of the most desperate men and deliberate murderers known in the annals of crime was sent before the Great Judge. His neck was instantly broken, and he did not move a muscle after reaching the end of the rope.

Sentence of Probst.

Judge Allison solemnly said: Anton Probst, you stand at the bar of this Court convicted of murder, of murder iu the first degreo. A jury of your own selection pronounced you, after a patient trial, guilty of a crime, tho punishment whereof is death. ithout a cause, and with maiico premeditated, you took the life of Christopher Hearing. This the verdict recorded against you. establishes as a fact judicially ascertained, after a solemn and impartial trial, in which your every right was most carefully guarded.

So one of the forms, which the law has declared to be of the substance of such a trial, in the jealous watch and care which it keeps over the life of the citizen and the alien alike, has been neglected in your ease. A stranger in a strange land; aloue, but net friendless, for the law itself became your friend; provided you with able and conscientious counsel: shielded you from popular violence; watched oyer and guarded your life with sleepless vigilance; and by the direct interposition of its might ami its power obtained for you a trial according to the forms ol' tho Constitution. All this was secured to you. By none other but by legal evidence, not in the least degree by your own confessien, but by cvidenco from which there was no escape, most conclusive in its character, you have boon found guilty of tho commission of one of the most appalling crimes of which tho records of civilized jurisprudence makes any mention. A felony of murder unparalleled, your heart concoivcd and your hands executed: in plan most comprehensive; in minuteniss ol' detail unequalcd; in execution relentless: brutal.savage beyond precedent.

A husband and a father, returning to his home, in all tho strength and glory of his wife and mother, toiling for the little loved ones whom God had given at her domestic altar, her humbie fi companion of your daily labor, who with you shared your bed, who almost slept in your arms; at peace with you. the very breath of whose life you fourth victim, an inoffensive visitor, whoso sex should not have in vain appealed to your Compassion, if compassion you possess, had you but thought of tho mother who gave you birth. And four helpless children of these slaughtered parents, four little ones, who had never done you harm; of three of these, in innocent and happy childhood, you had been the daily witness; listened to their young and merry voices, and perhaps have had them play in confidenceand trust about you; and the fourth a smiling, tender, gentle babe, who had not yet learned to lisp your name, or to know you as a stranger in that household tiny bloody garments, brought here by other hands, leave testimony most crushing against the monster, in the shape of man, who out and hacked its youngest life away. Of all who gathered beneath the humble roof of Christopher Hearing, but one remains. A little, lonely, solitary boy, saved not by your mercy; for mercy ycu had none, but by an interposing Providence protecting him from your murderous arm and uplifted axe, with which you sought to kill them all.

All this you performed alone, or aided by another, it matters not which, so far as the legal and moral 1 guilt of all these murders committed by you is concerned, and much more than human tyo hath not seen, you did with malice inconceivable. Almost without motive you wont at your work, self-imposed, and eight innocent victims you slew. Not suddenly, not in a tempest of resistless passion, but in the coolness of a premeditated design, one by one, at intervals, with solemn pause, with calm liberation, and with a quenchless thirst for blood, you ceased not until all that you set out to do was fully accomplished, and you found yourself alono with the dead. triumph was then complete. This is but a poor picture of your work, and of this I here remind you, that, you may, oven now, at this dread hour for you, realize, if it indeed be possible for you to do so, the enormity of your deeds of blood, and before God seek for pardon for your crimo.

No one may limit his power to but you can find mercy only in redeeming love. Man cannot, will not, dare not pass by unavenged a crime so fearful as to bo almost nameless. Society demands protection, and violated laws its vindication. But the Omnipotent God hath said. "Whosoever will, let him come." To His mercy I commend you.

But what you have to do, do speedily, for the night of death casts its shadows already around you. The avenger of blood has followed steadily after you. and in the darkness of the night the invisiblo finger of the Almighty pointed you out to your pursuers, and justice now claims you as its own. Anu that which it requires to be done shall uot bo long delayed. You had your success in tho execution of your fell purpose; but it demands its triumph now, in the detection, exposure, conviction and promptcstand sevcreest punishment of the criminal, who had defied alike the laws of God and man, and outraged all thenobler sympathies of his nature.

It only remains for me to pass on you the judgment of the law, which is that you the tout judges rose, and amid a breathless silenceconcluded the Anton Probst, the prisoner at the bar. be taken from hence to the jail of the county of Philadelphia, from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and that you there be hanged by the neck until you aro dead.

RECONSTRUCTION. Mr. Washburne, of 111., from the Committee on lieconstruction, submitted some additional evidence to the House, on the condition of the States of Florida. Tennessee and Texas. of this evidence has been anticipated in the The most prominent witness is Major General P.

11. who sends a deposition dated New Orleans, March 31. His testimony is brief. lie commences by saying that he believes that the people of Texas accept the situation and have an earnest desire for the return to Union, but at the same time they exhibit an unimstukeablo desire to glorify the rebellion, 110 has not noticed any particular change among tho people on account of Executive clemency, and thinks that the people would quarrel among themselves if left to their own government. Ho believes that tho sensible and substantial people would regret the withdrawal of the military forces.

A large number of the offices of the State are in the hands of the returned The inclination of the people to glorify the rebellion gives the rebeis the preference for election or appointment to office. Loyal men would feel unsafe if the troops were withdrawn ami they were left without any protection from the Federal Government, and many would leave tho country. lie considers it. therefore, necessary to maintain a military force in uis department to nive security to Northern capital and to protect Union men, and to give actual and moral support to the freedmcn, as well as to prevent quarrels among the people themselves. He thinks the Frecdincn's Bureau should be continued, and au advantageous change might bo made by the appointment of an Inspector General of it, under the command of the department commander, which would bo more economical than the present system, though it would enforce duties on the military to a great extent.

There would be a great deal of trouble if the freedmen were left under the control of tho whites, and a war of races would probably be the consequence. There is, he adds, a great desire among the freedmen to learn and they nre willing to work. He believes that the best thing Congress or the State can do, is to legislate as little as jpossible in roference to the colored man, beyond giving him security in his person and property. The labor of freedmen is the only kind that can be obtained in tho South for some time to come. The feeling the people in his command was not satisfactory, but good.

perhaps, as coulu be expected. General Sheriden says that the majority of tho people of Louisiana are not opposed to the General Government, but a spirit of bitterness and discontent still prevails, and in his opinion the military forces should not be withdrawn but retained for some tiino to come. He regards tho tone and sentiment of the people of Florida very fair, and says tbcre is a great desire among them to restore the Union. Adjutant General Thomas, ot the United States army, sujs that the people of Louisiana aro desirous of returning to tho Union and are disposed to treat the freedmen well. remainder of the evidence submitted is brief, but of the same tenor as that given, is mostly from civilians who have traveled in the South.j ARMY BILL.

Whereat, Those who have the means may (lee from the results which such a system imposes, while the poor man, having no means of reliance except the labor ot his hands, would bo compelled to submit, without remedy, to tho degredation thus sought to be imposed: and, hereon. AVe are satisfied that an overwhelming majority ot the unconditional Union men of the city ot Baltimore, us well as the State at large, are opposed to negro suffrago and negro equality, and the degradation of our mechanical and industrial classes, and will not suffer themselves to bo led by those who ure endeavoring to introduce this repugnant feature into the platform of tho Unconditional Union party He jjesrdnetl. That we earnestly recommend to tho people ol the state to voto for no candidate in the approaching fall elections who shall, under any advocate nearo tuffrngo ami negro equality, within tho limits of the. State of Maryland or fraternize with those wlio do.

Thntthe unconditional Union men in the different wards of the city be earnestly requested to co-operate in forming organizations, a vie to protect the safety and integrity of the Union party against toe efforts thai are now being made to Place the white man upon a footing of equalil and subject mm to the control of the negro race, wliicii, lit tho event ot a prenonderance of lua-ro votes with-' in our limits contingency not unlikely to occurwill be cortain to follow. After tho transaction of some further business of uti general interest I lie committee adjourned.

VIOLATING AN ORDINANCE Linenkemper took James Smith into custody yesterday, charged with violating an ordinance to preserve the health ot the city. He waa subjected to tho payment of a tine of $lO and costa, imposed by Justice THREE CENTS, THE CONFIDENCE GAME STILL successful confidence game was played in thin 2 bt thovic i being roues mar, named Eli Patten, hailing from Memnhis, ami recently discharged from service in the United States .77" i.

first mct the confidence man at La.timoro and Ohio Railroad Depot. where alter making himself particularly agreeable, tho ter proposed a walk up lo the Kutaw House. Tho young man, although not exactly from tho country, did not possess those perceptive qualifications necessary in such a case, coincided in the proposal of his nawly mado acquaintance. After arriving at the hotel, and spending socio minutes in social enjoyment, the swindler seemed to have suddenly remembered that he wanted some money that night, and although having the greenbacks by him, had a check in his possession one of tho hanks in this city for tho sum of SBSO, hut which ho cou'd not of course have cashed until the following morning. In a casual, confidential manner ho then addressed his victim, and asked him if he had any money, the young man replying that he had SBO.

That will just do me," replied the sharper," and if you will let have it, I will give you this check i the one referred lo above) to hold until morning; ihen you can get the money and pay me over tho balance." Young Ratten did not yet perceive the net that was being drawn around hira, and as the proposition seemed so fair, and the smooth-tongued friend so innocent in his pretensions, handed over tho money, which was all that he had. In conversation the swindler stated that he was going the same way as Patten intended to travel, and that, he would meet him at the depot the next day, (yesterday,) when tho balance of tho money obtained on the chock could he refunded. Thus the parties separated for the night. Yesterday morning Patten presented the check at the counter of the bank, and was told in return that it was bogus. The young man' eyes now being opened, ho sought the aid of the officers of the law, and applying to Marshal Carmiehael, tho affair was placed in the hands of deteotiy-oF.

Gray, but, although an efficient officer, will not likely be fortunate enough to arrest tho swindler. THE AMERICAN MEDICAL The annual session of tho; distinguished body, now being hcid in this city, at the Concordia Buildings, on South Kutaw street, attracts quite a number of spectators of both soxes, and the proceedings havo been marked bj- harmony and good feeling. The sessions open daily at nine o'clock in the morning, and an adjournment takes place about two in the afternoon. On Tuesday evening a very handsome entertainment was furnished the Association at Concordia Hail, by tho Baltimore Medical Association, a large company being in attendance, including a great many ladies. The festivities closed at a very seasonable hour, and all appeared gratified with this initial specimen of Baltimore hospitality.

We arc hearing it asserted continually thaf crinoline is going out, that its reign is over, and that ladies will soon resemble closed umbrellas as closely HA they now resemble open ones.

AH this wisdom is deduced from tho fact that cow and then, fromi caprice or from the exigencies of the occasion, tho Luipress Eugene appears without her wontcil circumference. At recent court festivals, which are certainly occasions of full dross and display, her Majesty appeared minus the "steel cage," butnot withouta substitute lor it in the shape of a new invention, the crinoline cloth skirt, and an unusual number of starched petticoats. The crinoline cloth skirt is not an article in the market but is made to order by modistes "who have the pattern. There is nothing so unique about this pattern that a special amount should be charged for cutting a skirt in it. Almost any American can make one: she needs only to bo told to cut adored skirt out ot the lightest and stillest stuff, say French lb! aai i Vel il hall way with puffings of the same, taking care to decrease in size or.

sho a 0W bottom of the skirt ferenl "if ayard and a ball'in eircumtercncc before the puffings are applied, that is, if for a lady ot average height. Over this is worn two or three well starched petticoats. lho advantage of the crinoline cloth skirls over tne steel-ribbed crinoline, is that it is more yielding, ana thereloro better adapted to crowded ussenjblies. ihe Empress, it is true, can always command ber position, and avoid being crushed even by thedeusest of festal crowds, but it was for the benefit of the ladies who make up the crowds thai sfiu set the fashion of wearing crinoline cloth. Too much of a lady to sweep around tho saloous with an extended crinoline and magnificent trail, while her guests were suffering from the extent of circumference, she announced that the festival should be attended "sans criuo'ine and gracefully set tho example, not, without consoling them and herself with tho substitute of the "crino ine cloth skirt.

For the street, thecrinolino is the usualsteel-ribbed skirt, small and without a trail; but i or tho moat ale? gant and exclusive lull-dress occasions it is more expansive than ever. A ro fc fem ini ne heart loves display too i up this most efficient aid. nnd the newei and nouer the patterns and material tor robes, the wider will crinolines become.
