during Evacuation Day they saw on Fourth avenue,
near Eighteenth street, two young men mingling
with the crowd that had gathered there

them. After q closer inspection detective Young

A MYsTEnlous MURDER.

A Man sfabbcd-The Murderer Escapes and
the Police Hear Of q Two Days After.
No. 66 Crosby street has long been noted as o re-
sort vagrant Italians and musicians who pick up
precarious living by organ grinding and other
cations not quite respectable. Nearly every night
the italians from other streets collect at this number
the occupants OF which are principally countrymen
and countrywomcn, but what transpres there IL hid
In mystery.
On sunday night last number OF these itncrant
musicians collected in one OF the upper rooms OF the
house and engaged In fight. What the cause OF the
difficulty was u not known, but James A. Masker
drew knife and plunged It three times into the
body OF D0minick Rosa. The participants in the
ARRAY kept 1t very quiet, and rs Rosa lived on the
premises he cared for without the facts getting
TO the knowledge OF the police. BY some means In
spector Dks.s OF the Central Office, ON Tuesday
learned Of the occurrence and informed Captain
Garland, OF the Fourteenth precinct whose Office Is
very near the scene OF the murder On an officer
proceeding to the place no particulars could be
CLEANED beyond the statements that fight had oc-
Cured, as above, and the murderer had escaped
Yesterday Inspector Dilks learned that Rosa was
very low and notified the Coroner about noon to
hold an ante-mortcm examination. At halEpast
two Rosa died, and another murder startled the
public. 1t does seem remarkable that for two days
the police remained In ignorance OF the array. Had
they taken prompt action at the time OF its occur
renee IL IL more than probable that tho assassin
would have been apprehcnded.

THE INDIANS.

The Treaty with Red satisfaction
Of the Chief at Going Upon q Rescrva-
ton.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20, 1858.
General Augur has received the particulars OF the
signing Of the treaty BY Red Cloud and his party.
They at first hesitated to do it for fear that they
might be involved In trouble with those Indians who
escaped through the lines to the NORTH but finally
signed saying, however, that while they would live
up to the treaty as long as the white men did, 1t
might be difficult for them to control the young
braves He saw no necessity for their going on
the reservation. He had not learned to farm, and
there were plenty OF buffalo on Powder river. He
intended to spend the winter among them,
and would like to come in to trade;
but declared that should any person come into their
country In violation Of the treaty he would combs
cate their property. The party remained several
days and received number Of presents and SUM-
cent rations to carry them back to Powder river.

Proceedings OF the Convention Of Young Mems
Christian Association mt st. Louis-The
True Work Of. Christian Young Men.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. rs, 1858.
The Young Mems Christian Association Conven-
ton met to-day. The first regular question was:-
What is the work Of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociarona This question was discussed briefly by
the Convention. The next question was the right Of
election between the churches. Mr.. A. J. Connel,
OF St. Louis and Mr.. Walters. OF Indiana, addressed
the Convention on this subject. The latter
SAID ne believed the sole object OF these associations
should be to work for Christ Whenever young men
undertook anything else-anything that was I'M
christian-they were mistaken. The sole object OF
the association was to make themselves like Christ,
and not Christ IKE them, or according to denomna-
ton.
REV. Mr.. Martin offered the following resolution,
which was adopted

M Martin said that any aspiration which sought

Church, and in proportion as they worked faithfully
q egg ought nO To up e
the Church, with all her hallowed associations.
ANY effort In that direction originated In
mistaken zeal and was a war on the brethren.
He stood second to no man In his esteem for the
work OF this association. lie believed 1t to be the
noblest auxiliary OF the Church. IL was school
where children are trained to intelligent church
membership, He would bid them God speed to 90
on In their good work OF whatever name or denomi-
tion In faithfulhess and loyalty to the Church.
rhe next question was the right work OF the
Christian Association, introduced by J. b. Sherwin,
OF st. Louis. He said he believed the associa-
tion ought 10 reorganize itself. He believed
it would not. fulfil Its mission without the
cooperation OF the women OF the Church. and in
stead OF calling these associations the Young Mems
Christian Associations he would have them reorgsn-
izcd into the Young Peoples Christian Associations,
so that all persons who have young blood in their
veins can work for Christ and the power OF evil will
give way before their united efforts. The speaker
wished simply TO add more power to the
organization. He thought that the other
denominations, the Unitarians the Universalists
and the Roman Catholics, should be invited to CO.
operation with them. He submitted the following
questions, which, ne thought. should be propounded
to every new member OF the assooiation:-Wil you
be a teacher or q scholar In q Sunday school, or
attend the young peoples prayer meetings. or at
tend the district visitation, visit the sick or en-
gage In personal effort In leading the Impenitent to
Christ, or unite in readings or recitationss

TIE Ful TON FERRY ACCIDENT.

Whitewashing the Verdict Of the Coroner's
Jury.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
/ am reluctant to enter into a newspaper argu-
ment; but articles have appeared In nearly all the
public journals censuring the jury for their verdict
In the OF the Fulton ferry disaster Of the 14th
inst, deem 1t proper to reply.
Your comments were more mild and reasonable
than those OF any other journal which took excep-
tion to the verdict. recognize the right OF criticism
In the interest OF the public In this case,
yet think that such criticism ought to be just and
supported by the evidence.
1t has never been my fortune to serve ON Jury OF
moro intelligent citizens than the Jurors in this
case; all were fully impressed with It's importance.
They gave the closest attention to the evidence and
were undivided In the opinion that verdict OF

The accident was unavoidable; 1t was caused by

In the slip, while at the same time the crowding OF
the passengers TO the snore end OF the boat rendered
the action OF the rudder very much less effective,
and the probability is very strong that had the pas
sengers complied with The urgent request OF the
pilot, twice repeated, to stand back" not single
person would have been injured.
In conclusion will here assert that my feelings on
entering into this case were preludcial to the ferry
company and should have held them responsible
had the evidence submitted warranted IT. but neither
your censure nor that OF all the public journals In
New York would induce me TO give verdict other
