THREE MORE MURDERS

THREE MORE MURDERS
!eom up before me as l cit down to write. !
MY pen seems dipping into an inkstaud OF
crime, and to write in characters OF black blood.
New York letter is a criminal calendar, |
and much of the correspondence is necessary
homicidal.
Murder number one is the murder Of an
infant by its mother the act being the last link
in long chain of "Efie Deanism.n
Murder number two is committed by Ger
man bricklayer, who happens tor the time to be
out of work. On his return home in the ddsk
OF the evening he sees some men
lowering some wine aud liouor
casks into ,aulI. He asks
.nem "ne'her .usy wish help, aud is told yes.
'ie ..ssists them, receives what pay they choose
to give him, and descends into the adjoining
saloon TO treat himself to a drink, His ma ne is
Grooming. Whilst he Is there, enters to him a
halfdiunken saloon-keeper named Tremain,
who thruss himself into quarrel with Groen
ing, and anally slaps him in the face with the
palm Of his hand. For this he pays at the dear
price of his life, for the wretched Grooming
without work, without home, without hope
gives sudden SWING to the passions so long held
In check by want and pain, aud strikes his in
sulter TO the heart. Henceforward no more
hunger, no more freezing, no more wandering
about The houseless streets. The prison will
provide food, aud shelter, and raiment, aud the
halter VIII introduce him to better s.Ste of
thingsl
mnrder number three is at Ger nan dance

| sailor named Paskell, who, 'sy some person
| unknown, is knocked down cad with a heavy
| hammer. Tue hammer HIS hun Immediately

lately mentions ID an attempt at suicide made

man. VINO has been forwarded to them in Con-
nectcut are at so much pains to inform the
! pubic that he was demented at the time, and
| that At the very moment when he shot himself
he had money and 'Valuableo" enough to carry
him across the continent, that take this
tneanB of undeceivng such OF the Philadelphia

! demented youths name was Stevenson, aud ne
I lives at Bridgeport.
, | THE POLICE ON REV YEARS DAY
are directed to exercise more than their usual
vigilance, superintendent Kennedy directs
that both plaloons OF every precinct in the CITY
and in Brooklyn shall be Kept on duty, and that
the captains shall take such extra measures as
may be deemed necessary to ensure pease.
Whether these extra precautions have any
reference 10 the bands of callers who give to
New Years Day distinction uueoualed by any
other day in the year, is matter lor only the
merest conjecture
New York and Brooklyn are gruntirg With
Joy under lhe inspiration of Il new idea. This
idea is nothing more nor less than the
EAST RIVER BRIDGE,
for which Brooklyn subscribes SO 600 900, pre-
vided New York WILL make up the rest, say
$4,000, Geo more.
Mr.. Rocblings present design is sugge stiye
OF his suspension bridge at Niagara.
The mpletsd bri6ge WILL be nearly 1000 feet
long. 1t will span a distance OF 1890 feet, will
be so feet wide, aud sustain 1900 tons. The
cuspnp6ipu IN the HrOn a eidn u,ll ha
built in the river, near The shore, at the north
? end OF the Fulton Ferry Depot The one on the
New York side will be Quilt on pier 26, monopo-
lizpg the interval between pier 2e and Roosevelt,
| streeI ferry. The roadway viii commence in
Brooklyn at the foot of Sands street. whence il
9 would run down TO the head of Main street and
: there tur ling to the lett, will spring in an air
line immediately in the direction of our new
Court house.
! 'WnI the Coming Man cross the East river
' bridge ?" is then the private question of the
' hour; and feel happy confidence 10 replying
a that the Coming Man Will most &ssuredly do so,
Z should the East river bridge be completed in
o time.
Q By the newspapers which approve of Mr..
. RoebliDg's plan, every argument which can be
! used is now being piled to persuade the publiC
v that the wealth, property, and ambition oI
g New Workers can only be fed by the speedy com
pletion OF this great inter-ciWc enterprise. Mean
!, while, New Workers who reside in Brooklyn
(, and who remember the freezing and drearg
o waits amid ice and fogs and danger, to which
they have been subjected during the winter
ter11ageb OF l0e past, dte content 10 OlesS The
!. new bridge project for the satisfactory reason
r trat it promises to carry them home in the
shortest and safest way. The

= THE GENERAL SESSIONS COURT ROOM
has undergone thorough change, SO as to
iavoTably compare with court-rooms OF thu
same kind in Europe. The appointments are
very elegant, and in this city, at least VIC
never had mere splendid tribunal to be sen
n fenced at.
THE BOARD OF EXCISE
have made over thirty analyses of brandy AM
whisky, and discovered that only two out o
the two and thirty are according to the brand
