From New York.

NEw YORK, June 22.-The negro Jordan,
who committed the outrage on the little girl,
is still in danger of being lynched by the ex-
cited neighborhood where the crime was com
mitted. Twenty second Ward StatiOn-house
was besieged all day yesterday by an angry
crowd, but was preserved from attack by the
vigilance Of tho police. The culprit, Jordan,
would have met a speedy retributiOn if he had
fallen into their hands last evening. Justice
Connolly held an examination at the station
house, it not being considered advisable to re-
move him to the tombs, and beld the prisoner
to bail for $4,000.
The little girl, Lena Pickel, lies in critical
condition.
In the case Of Meyer Goldsoll, the mar

discharged, and the prisoner remanded by tn,

HANDI-cRAFT.-0ur monopoly Street Rail
road friends carried it with p high hand, a
few days, while the Probate Court had the
case in sling-ruling out important evidence
offered by the city. Threats were made that all
other applicants for routes must come to the mo-
nopoly for terms. 1t was almost daily taunt
for one of the officers of the company to stick
copper cent. at the City Solicitor, and joculary
say, "here's yOw damages'-"hercs the ver-
dict, in advance" Now the joke is not SO
good. The Company is on another scent
They have applied to Judge Hilton to set
aside the verdict as not suiting the evidence,
or the charge of the Court-or the means of
the Company. The handicraft of condemn
ing streets for monopoly Street Railroad is
to become systematized.

A TREMULoUs earnestness pervades despotic
circles in Europe. Self interest with monarchs
make it the study of their ministers to hold
each other in check. Who shall be the Nor
ply at the Diplomatic Chess Board, is the
practical question of their maneuvres. The
burdens of the people increase with the oxtrem-
ity Of the game, and men are moved with fear
full energy; often thrown away on the battle
field immense numbers of men to gain point
of state policy.
The reports of battles differ as the narrators
are interested. Louis Napoleon suppresses or
perverts facts, as emergencies require.
Insurrectionary movements portend wide
spread dissatisfaction both in Hungary and
Lombardy, of the oppressive rule of Austria
Garibaldi is bold and decisive, and Klapka
with Hungarians and sympathisers, are bosct-
ting the Austrians with spirit.

SOME of our readers will remember that
amongst the numerous. persons who left this
city for Texas during its struggle for freedom,
was William Gibson, a participant in many
desperate conflicts of q gallant few against
hordes of Mexoans under Santa Anna. After
obtaining liberal lond grants he died, leaving
considerable property, say 5000 acres of land
Enquiry has been made we learn, as to his
legal representatives, who no doubt will be
glad to obtain possession of lands becoming
valuable. Pioneers of Cincinnati, when
village, remember Gibson as its first regular
drayman in 1905. They connect his patriotic
zeal for the Texans, with the first display he
made at home of his earnestness in defence of
river coast in the conspiracy times. Burr's
boats were expected to pass by. Gibson lived
in small frame house belonging to old father
Richardson, near the river bank, where Hark-
ness foundery now stands, and was for awhile
one of the sentinels who patrolled the shore. He
was armed "to the teeth" and instructed on
the approach of a descending boat to hail it
three times in loud voice, "Who goes there?"
Soon after being placed at his lookout, Gibson
saw descending boat, and with characteristic
impulsiveness cried out, "Hallo the boat Who
are you three times!" and b!azed away, but
fortunately did no damage to a boat load of
emigrants from Redstone, guiltIess of any con-
spiracy, much less any knowledge of or COM
plicity with Burr. Alexander Gibson, brother
of our hero, was long while in the brush busi-
ness in this city, and some of the family no
doubt will hunt up tho Texan lands.
