How an Irish Dance Terminnted-EiTects OF
Bad Music and Worse Rum An Old Mans
Skull Beaten in With Stone-Arrests of
Suspected Parties.
The village OF Mount Vernon. Westchester county
which has during the past few months furnished a
dsgraceiu calendar OF sensations. chieny connected
with free Iovism and invariably illustrative OF mans
perildy TO woman is now exercised at the perpetra
tion OF o henOus crime, by which "mans inhu-
manity to man" Will probably result In the death by
violence OF an aged citizen. From what be as
certained. 1t appears that
AN IRISH DANCE
was being held at house the old Klngsbridge
road near the above named village, Saturday
night. the uprestrained use OF liquor being promi-
nent feature OF the occasion. Harity and inebriety
kept time to the dscordant squeak OF an attenu-
ated nddle until about two O'Clock Sun
day morning, when q number OF inroxi-
caled men. on whose restless spirits the
attractions OF the dance had palled, left the
party to seek fresh excitement. Having proceeded
u short distance to the house or Patrick McKenna
where ir Is rumOred liquor Is surreptitiously sold
the party entered and finding several persons there
who were all more or less intoxicated soon became
involved In fierce war OF words, when, to prevent
A GENERAL FIGHT,

two or the most uarrelsOme--namely, Hugh
McEwan and Charles Moore. In thrustlng the last
named parties from the house. 1t said Inat the door
outside with them, and owing TO the confusion
which followed the unfortunate man was not missed
by his family for some twenty minutes. About this
time some parties from the dancing place found
McEwen, apparently dead, lying not far from his
own door ana. having carried him into the house,
sickening spectacle was presented To the nStonlSned
jewellers. The forehead OF the il-fated man was

search was made at the spot where McEwen had
been discovered and II resulted IN the finding OF
STONE COVERED WITH BLOOD
and weighing some five or six pounds This, tt Is
believed. was taken from stone fence not many
feet distant from where the assault was made.
From the appearance of McEwen'S head il would
appear that repeated blows were struck both befofe
and after he had been rendered insensble.
The matter having been brought to the notice OF
Justice Stevens, by one OF McEwen's sons. on sun.
day evening. that official issued warrants for the
arrest OF the parties already named. They were
secured on Monday, ana, after preliminary
hearing, the Justice committed them, without
privilege OF bail, to the county jail for
further examination. Meanwhile effort will
be spared to collect all the particulars connected
with the affair.
Yesterday McEwen, who is over sixty years OF
age remained In o state OF uncOnsciousneSs, the
physicians In attendance having no hopes OF his re-
Covery.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
The Infamous, dastardly conduct OF the coal
monopolists In this city calls for relief for cit
zens either through national or State legislation.
Some three years since made arrangements with
the Pennsylvania Coal Company to supply me with
coal at manufacturers prlces for manufacturing
purposes, my consumption being about twenty-five
tons per week. At the time made this arrange
ment IL was done through the opportunities Of
OF their agents, and at that time they were evi-
dently pleased TO take my order. For the past two
weeks they have refused to send me but one
ton per day, and to-day say they
out OF coal, that there has been "strike." You
and know, and every citizen Of New York knows,
all about these periodical STRIKES They gotten
up by the coal dealers for the purpose OF robbng the
people. Every winter we have TO suffer from the
depredations OF these monopollsts. The people or
this city are long suffering in many things, but 1t
does seem 10 that III the matter OF fuel light and
strictions could with pr0prety be imposed, to
secure every one in the constant enjoyment OF them,
aud at prices TO bring them within the reach OF all

have prolonged their holiday, for all the business
that was done. Many, indeed, were still absent on
their out OF town visits, and the Stock Exchange
and Gold Board were snly attended. In the latter
depaltm the only sensation OF any moment was
created by the afternoon dispatches In the new s.
papers stating that The
BRITISH INDIGNATION AGAINST PRUSSIA
had taken an alarming form now that Il was fully
confirmed that the army officials OF the latter had
seized English shipping on the river Seine with

counted we may judge by the tenor
OF t0-day's market, though the actual presence OF
the cash gold in the market may yet ne felt. The
annuence whatever IT Is Or was has been tempor-
ariy overcome by the warlike feeling In England
aroused by the indlgnities perpetraed by Prussia
the English vessels in tho Seine as above referred
to. At least the Gold Room drew the inference that
1t was better to guard against the possibility OF
England entering the European struggle, and
hence the price OF gold advanced TO llO5s, It's less
active movement on such Intelligence being due to
the pauoiiy aud Indifference OF the brokers present
IN the market. In fact. q settled dulness
pervades the street which IL Will be difiicut
