MURDER OF THREE PERsoSs MAR PHILADELPHIA.
On Friday last the city Of Philadelphia was thrown
into commotion by the report Of murder committed
upon three persons named Dsugherty, McGowan
and CoRaway, by Patrick Kelly, Lacky Kelly and
Barnes McGinne. The wife Of Patrick Kelly gave
the information oath. The murder is asserted to
have taken place at Grey's Ferry on the Schuylkill

and much disbelief existing. A private story.

The Public indignation Caution.

The Public Indignation Caution.
We understand that over one hundred and fifty
young men have enrolled themselves, for the purpose
of infictng marked personal lndignity on James
w. Webb any of his associates, the first time they
are seen in the streets.
They probably mean no harm; bat we trast and
hope that mark of public indignation will take
place. II would be Illegal immoral, unchrstian, and
anchivalrc it woald be too much in the vein of the
bloody doings at Washington
No, no, no. The mark Of Cain is on the men of
blood-they cannot escape. Let the moral, legal,
and respectable inhabitants of New York, only indi
cate their horror at the late doings, by calmly but
firmly Withdrawing all patronage, all subscriptions,
all advertisements, from the bood-stained sheet
When the man appears in the streets, lei him be iso
lated from all the ties of humanity. Avoid the atmos-
phere he breathes let the few wretches who sup
port him receive like condemnation.

SAMUEL w. DEWEY
HARrER v. d. VAN Epps, Ess"
This was written on very dirty piece Of paper and
in very bad hand
Accordingly yesterday about noon, Bower and
WEIGH went down 10 the Pacific Hetcl and there
stood little Mr.. Thompson, the portrait painter the
friend Of Dewey, the friend of Colonel Webb, on the
Bowyer and Welch introduced themselves as the
friends of RYAN Epps. "Then gentlemen let us pro-
coed to business" said the bloody minded little Mr..
Thomson the portrait painter the friend OF the friend
of Col. Webb.
Up stairs they all walked and then to his terror,
Thomson learnt that he was in the claws OF the po-
lies.
He shook and he shivered,-
Teeth Chartered and lips quivered,
Of this vaorous little friend of Col Webb friend. He
begged for mercy, squeaed and lied, and said he
diGnt mean 10 fight-didnt carry not no challenge
at ali not to nobody. He knew nothng-hoped to
be forglven-and he'd never do SO no mere"
The officers led this friend of Webbs friend like
little cuprt through the streets to the police office,
and shut him up in prison. On the road they met the
valorous friend of the valorous Colonel himself and
they tooh him as culprit and shut him up also.
In the afternoon both the offenders were bailed out
Webb's friend, and the friend of Web5's friend are
thus held bound to appear and answer at the next
Court of Sessions.
The following is the act under which Webb's
friends will be tried -
La1 about Dueleng.-Rev. Stat. vol. 2, part A,
p. 572, sec 2. 3" Every person who shall challenge
another to fight duel who shall send or deliver
any written verbal message pHrportng or intended
to be such challenge; who shall accept any such
challenge or message; or who shall knowingly carry
or deliver any such challenge; or who shall advise
or give any countenance assistance to such duel;
shall be punished by imprisonment in the State
Prison for term not exceeding seven years."
Thus not only has Webb been the cause OF one
mans death but he will also be the cause of sending
his friend poor Dewey and the little portrait painter te
the State prison at Sing Sing for years. Unless,
indeed in the of the duel he insists on taking
his friends places that he will have the honor to do
this, no one who knows him doubts for an instant
Let as see then how the case stands According to
his late rule of action by his parity of reasoning
he will go into Court where his friend is to be tried,
armed to the teeth, with two chivalrous friends and
insist on going into the prisoners box TO be
tried for his liberty. If the Recorder and Aldermen
refuse this he and his two friends will shoot them
down. and shatter the right of poor Phoenix, the
District Attorney, to prevent him from prosecuting
his friend Dewey.
But to prevent such bloody catastrophe of course
the Court will let Webb be tried and then as Dewey
is guilty and Webb stands in his shoes, las poor
Darrell stood in hls) the Court will send Webb to
Sing Sing for seven years TO get out stone!

BUFFALO, MONDAY EVE, Feb &c, 1888.
JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESQ
DEAR SIR Last evening sent you the current
news of the city, with my doubts of its correctness.
That from the West is as yet entirely uncenirmed.
There positive information that the Patriots had
crossed lake river at Michigan nor that they have
taken Maiden.
Those who attempted to cross, few miles from
this place. it's sald nearly frozen, and returned.
They found themselves without sfficers-without
concert and without means, and came back, damn
ing the whole affair. The news from the East today
is, that the Patriots crossed at Ogdensburg-took
Rockville, and were advancing upon Kingston
Even this, may be reasonably doubted.
The Militia here have been sent off to Fort Mag
ara and their place is to be supplied by regulars and
Col. Worth is about taking more severe measures.
Last night the State Arsenal at Batavia was rob-
bed of all the arms, amounting 10 several hundred
stands, and seventy five kegs of powder So. yoa
see, something is foot and if Canada is not TO be
invaded, high handed acts of viany are carried on
IN our ewn country.
We begin to think it high time such business is put
a stop to, and it will be- if there ID force enough to
do ii.
Ii but justice to citizens to say that very few
called respectable pretend to approve of these
movements-nene indeed bat those strongly commit
ted
Col Worth says, there is not patriot of:the whole
grand army that could be scourged into Canada. Per-
haps so-we shall see.
