( GONE WHERE THE WooDBINE TwrSETn.'
FISK, the coruscution of the Erie Ring con.
stclation, has been removed by the assassins $
hand, TO scenes where rings are powerfcss and
plunden and villalny impracticable. On Sat.
urdaT evening last about O'Clock, as JAMES
FISK, Jr.,. was entering the Grand Central IIo-
tel, N. y, he was met by one EDwARn j.
STOKES, Nho is represented as having baen
complicated with the Miss Mansfield matter,
who faced Fisk with revolver in hand, dis.
charging 1t, lodged the ball in the abdomen,
and making fatal wound, OF which he died
about II o'clock the next day. Two Other
shots were fired, one of which passed through
the arm and tho hiDl missed its object. Du-
ring the excitement of the Interval between
the shooting and drath. Fisk was. Surrounded
by the members of the Erie ring. who. with
the aid Of the police, kept out Of the way all
itching ears that might be open for any dying
disclosures. aud death came in time TO relieve
some anxiety on the part of the ring leaders
The Tribune thus notices the deceased:
No career in our time has been more in i.
tensely dramatic than the one which closed
yesterday in tie death of James Fisk. Lis
life was passed entirely iL the public view.
The whole world rang with the reports oi his
prepOsicrous transSrcssiOns. No name of any
American was better known at home Or
abroad LIE rose ut one bound to tue summit
Ot apparent SUCCESS lie seemed for Il tune
tmpregnable to the combined attack of honcst
creditors and dishonest foes. 1t apDoareds as
II he were likely To- dety and evade retribu.
uon, closing youth of audacious fraud with
an age of opulencc and impuniiy-slill further
demcralizing and poisoning the public con
science by the spectacle Of hollow decorum,
assumed when the objects of yillainy were ac.
coinplished. II is true there were strong hopes
INDUCED in these last few days that the law
was to prove stronger than the cunning Of the
conspiratOrs who had 50 long de icd il. But we
were not to see SO commonplace II close TO SO
marvellous history The crime and disorder
he had thrven by, were to beray him. The
fabric reared by fraud and violence Was 20
crumbe by the touch of murder. The short
and vivid life was to end in n trcgedy which
should form fitting close TO it, and point its
meaning forever US memory aud u warning
Stokes was arrested upon the spot, unmOyed
and showing no signsof regret for the mur
dcrous act. He is sojourning a: the Tombs.
