THE MANCHESTER EXECUTIONS.
Last Letter Written bv Alien.

MANCHESTER, Monday Evening. folio "
ing letter was written by Allen on the night
previous 10 his eXecution:-
SALFoRD NEW BAILEY PRISON, Nov. 23, 1867
To you my loving and sincere Dear Uncle and
Aunt Hogan:-I suppose this is my lasG letter
TO yCu at this side of the grave. Oh, dear
uncle and aunt, If you reflect on it, it is
nothing. / am dying horrible death-I am
dying for Ireland dying for the land that gave
me birth-dying for the Island OF Saints-and
dying tor liberty.
Every generation of our country has suffered ;
where is the Irish heart could stand by unmoVed?
should like to know what trouble, what pas
sion, what mischief could separate the true Irish
heart from its own native isle? Dear uncle and
aunt, it is sad to be parCing from you all at my
early age, but we all die some day or another-a
few hours more and will breathe my last, aud on
English soil Oil that could be buried in
ireland! What happiness 1t would be TO all
my friends, and to myself, where my country
men could kneel on my gravel cannot ex-
press what Joy it afforded me when / found,
Aunt Sarah, that you were admitted.
Dear uncle, / am sure ii was not q very plea
SAINT place that l had to receive you and my
aunt; but we must put up with all trials until
We depart this life / am sure IL will grleve
you very much to leave me in such place
on the evidence of such characters as the wit.
nesses were that swore my hfe away; but l
forgive them, and may God forgive them. l am
dying, thank God, an Irshman and Christian.
Give my love 10 all friends same from your
ever affecuonate nephew, W. p. ALLEN.
Pray for US. Goodbye, and remember me;
good bye, and may Heaven protect ye, is the
last wish Of your dying nephew.
W. P. ALLEN.

THE BROOKLYN POISONING CASE
The Post MOrtem Examination The
Victims Died from the Effects of
RGrvchmina.

The Post Morton Examination - The
Victims Died from the Effects of
stTychnlnes
The post mortem examination on the bodies
OF Mrs. Fall and her daughter, who were found
dead IN bed at their residence, No. 3O7 Atlantic
street, on Monday morning, was made yester-
day afternoon by Drs. Shepard and Willets. A
careful examination was made on the bodies of
the deceased, and the various organs were found
in healthy state.
The stomachs were then removed for the pur.
pose OF making analysis of the contents. The
TACT that the nature of the poison might be de-
termined by giving some of the contents of the
stomach to dog suggested itself. The animal
was procured, and four table spoonfuls ad
ministered from the contents of Mrs. Falls
stomach. In few minutes thereafter he began
10 exhibit all the symptoms consequent upon
poisoning from strychnine. He staggered about
the room and then fell in violent convulsions,
which we're repeated until he died.
1t was evident from the experiment made
upon the dog aud its results, that the deceased
must have taken, or had administered, strong
cose of poison. This drug always causes con-
Vulsions and general stupor of the faculties,
from which the patient does not recover.
The question now to be determined is whether
the deceased took her own life and that OF her
daughter, or whether the drug was given them
by another party. Many think that II she took
her own life che would have been likely TO
have left note explaining the cause OF her
insane act, but nothing of the kind has been
discovered among her effects.
From what can be learned her mind was
affected from various causes. She was in Ill
health, considered herself In destitute eondi-
tion, had son who was said TO be on his death
bed in Europe the last she heard from him, and
that she was Indifferent about living. Had an-
other given her strychnine, she would have had
ample time to have made her condition known
to the inmates of the house. But on the con-
trary, she appears to have gone 10 bed, clasped
her daughter in her arms, and resigned herself
10 painful death.
From the position In which their bodies were
1S.l
TO get away from her mother, for her face was
turned towards the wall, while that of her
mother was turned towards her and she was
clasped tightly In her arms. The poison could
hardly be detected in the beer, and the girl
might easily have been persuaded by her mother,
after having prepared for bed, TO take drink.
A man who occupies q room In the house ad-
Joining, says he heard continued grOans In the
apartments OF Mrs. Fall during Sunday night,
and says 1t continued for some h0UTs,-M y.

ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEGRAPH ]
BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-THE manufacturers of
Baltimore have agreed to send the full number
of delegates 10 the Cleveland Convention.
There are now energetic efforts being made
towards making Baltimore great manufacture
ing city. There are an unusual number of me-
chanics and laborers of all descriptions out of
employment at present, and business is daily
growing duller. The indications portend
great distress. Money is scarce and poverty
abundant.
There seems to be a universal approval here
OF the action of Congress regarding the dis
posal of the impeachment humbug.
1t is showing this morning, and the weather
is intensely disagreeable.

THE stepmother of Abraham Lincoln still

The stepmother of Abraham Lincoln still
lives near Pennington, Coles county, Illinois,
in One-story log cabin containing two rooms.
Aunt Sally Lincoln, as the villagers call her, is
now eighty years old, and verv feeble. She is
plain, unsOphisticated old lady, with frank,
open countenance, warm heart, full Of kind
ness towards others, tall and slender, and, in
many respects, very much like the President
-enough 30 to be his own mother. And as
he was but nine years of age at the time OF
her marriage with his father, 1t is not impro-
bable that she had much to do in forming his
character. She still speaks Of Abraham as her
good boy, and praises his obedience. She
says Abraham and his stepbrother never
quaTrelled but once; and that. Won know, Is q
good deal for stepbrOthers." About q mile
and half from her old cabin Is the grave Of
Thomas Lincoln, father OF the President. II
is marked by piece Of olapboard, on which ia
Tuaely carved only the initials ''T. L."

BIsMARK ON FREE SPEECH.
Interesting Debate An the Prussia
Chamber II Deputies.

Intor0sting Debate An the PrusaIan
Chamber eR Deputies.
In the sitting of She Prussan Chamber of
Deputies on the 10th ult., the motion of Herr
Lasken, proposing 70 quash the trial of Herr
Twesten by special Law, and to modify article
consistent with the Constitution of the North
German Confederation, came on for discussion.
Herr Won Hoverbeck proposed that the House
should proceed to the order OF the day. Herr
Won Bennigsen supported the melton OF Herr
Lasken.
Count Won Leppe, the Minister of Finance,
stated that the members should await the deci-
sion OF the Superior Court when IL would be
possible to determine what measures were fit
ting to be adopted on the occasion.
Count Bismark said that he expressed his own
personal conviction, and not that of the Coy
eminent, in spying that he attached no practi-
cal importance to the question. The conflict
between the Chamber and the Government
had arisen from q misuse of the freedom OF
speech. He considered the question OF right IN
the present case was doubtful.
The question now was how to prevent the re-
newAl of the misunderstanding between the
Government an1 the Chamber: he proposed to
consider whether ii was not possible to distin-
guish between two conditions of liberty OF
speech, view the right of free speech ID the
Chamber, and the right of the newspapers to
publish the speech. He was desirous of freeing
the constitutional life of the kingdom from all
causes OF disagreement, and would support any
means OF maintaining good understanding.
The motions of Herr Won Hoverbeck and
Guerard were rejected. Those of Herr Lasken
were adopted by lel to l60 votes. Baron Won
Der Heydt the Minister of Finance, brought in
a bill relative to the assumption of the Elbe
Duchies portion of the Danish,debt, amounting
to Ell, 600, by Prussia.

THE POPE.
Interview with Plus the Ninth at the
Vatican.
THE POPE.

Rome Correspondence Irtsh Times.
Those who have seen the Sovereign Pontif
deliver his benediction to Rome and to the
world at Easter from the Loggia, otfielate at the
grdnde n1eSSe at the high altar In st. Peters, or
assist at any other public ceremony or festi val
such lucky ones will doubtless forever preserve
a lively recollection OF the grandeur aud reli-
gious solemnlty of the occasion. But to see
Plus the Ninth Alright, to understand his trde
character, and appreciate ii, you must strip him
OF his vestments OF purple and gold, and Imagine
him simply clad in a long haoit of creamy
white, seated in cosy armchair at a table
covered with papers and documents, In a room
in the Vatican, small and plainly furnished.
Into such an apartment was introduced, and it
was here spent the delightful halt hour which 1
shall always remember with the deepest sense of
pleasure and qualification. 1t was late when
entered-past 4 O'clock and the lamp in the
centre OF the table gave dull light to the room,
though quite sufficient to enable me to observe
every feature and every little movement of my
august host. All the world has seen the Pope's
photograph; but though his photograph resem-
bles him IN a certain degree, yet there are few
sun-pictures which ever do justice-though they
are sometimes too impsrtial-and IN the present
case you lose the whole benevolent expression
of the eyes which ever light up the dlgnihed
countenance. To describe his Holiness as l
saw h1m:-He looks about seventy years old
his age is nty-tive-middles sized, and though
rather nclinIng to corpulency, yet of frame
still retaining all its muscular power. Little
tiny dumpling hands, white as snow, and
proud. A face one canuot look upon without
loving-so mild is it and benevolent; the large
dark Italian eye being softeIed by the constant
aflectionate smile playing about the mouth--a
smile not assumed and put aside at will, but one
OF real Christian hope and resignation. ever
suggestive OF the true character of the man.
When one thinks of the trials and sutfeEings,
political and corporal, endured with mauly
fortitude by his Holiness tor the last twenty
years, one cannot help admiring the spirit
which has sustained him and followed him all
through his career. 1t also makes us contem
plate what would have been the present state of
the Roman Catholic Church had O man OF less
courage and determination, or of spirit less
mild and concillatiDg, been at the head of her
Government during these critical years.

OBITUARY.
Herr Won Dreyse, Inventor OF the Needle
Gun.

The Cable this morning, in brief paragraph,
announces the death OF the inventor of the
famous needle gun. Herr Won Dreyse--Ot whom
very little is known beyOnd the fact that he gave
to Europe one OF the most effective OF modern
weapons of warfare, and one which has played
conspicuous part in the recent political
changes on the continent-was born in SON.
III ePda. small town near Erfurt in Saxony
He was journeyman blacksmith, and accord
ing to his own statement hrst conceived the idea
of peffecting weapon OF the kind which has
since made him famous, in travelling over the
battlefield of Jena in 1906 and observing the
heaps of dead and wounded torn and mahgled
by the artillery and missiles then in use. He
subsequently worked for man by the name of
PAUL, in Paris, who was employed by the milf
tary authorities in the Improvement of the flint
mnsket II was during that time that he re-
volved Ia his mind and conceived the idea OF
the needle gun which was eventually perfected.
He died at the age Of seVenty-nine, and was, a
few months ago, represented to be vigorous In
mind and body. He was the inventor OF an I'M
proved hand grenade and several other des!ruc-
tive implements, none OF which, however, have
seemed to merit the popularity that has at
which have already appeared.

The Resolution OF Consure.
The Presidents organ this morning is frantic
in denunciation of Senator Drake for his advo-
cacy of the resolution of censure upon johnson.
1t calls him "a mountebank,r "a bogus Senator, y
and says he was foisted into the Senate by a
concurrence of extraordinary circumstances
without parallel.
Since the defeat of impeachment in the House,
the conservatives have become rampant and
overbearing, and threaten the Senate (if the
resolution referred to should be passed) with
Executive vengeance.
The PIttsburg Election.
Even the Mayoralty election at Pittsburg yes
terday was tortured into an endorsement of the
Presidents policy, and last night and to-day the
White House politicians are blatant and boast
