y New YORK MCsDERER.-Augustus Brown
was a poor workingman. After a weeks
hard labor, on Saturday night he went to the
Rowery theatre with his wife. While re-
turning to his humble home he passed gang
OF corner loaicrs. They ioered him and
rolled stone upon his heels. He said not
word, but steadily walked homeward. They
showed his wife against HIM, and insulted
him grossly StIll he kept his peace At
last gigantic loafer stepped in front of the
poor laborcr and wanted to know what he
was gong 10 DO about it. Mr. Brown saw
the rough rolling up his sleeves, and asked
him II he he was going 70 strike him. The
reply was blow with brass knuckles that
crushed IA his skull. He died within two
hours. The murderer coolly walked off with
bis hands in his pockets, while bis compan-
ions picked up tie dying man, carried him
home, and then insulted his weeping wife by
JoeoseIy proposing 20 stay all night IN her
house. such are the plain facts Of this most
atroclous crime. The police have been very
active, and probably secured the murderers.
This Is surprising, IN view Of the escape from
the gallows Of the coldbloodcd murder of Off
cor Lambrecht. Citizens can hardly look to
the police for protection unlefs the murder
ors Of policemen are hanged. Mr. Brown
was killed by rough= out of sheer wantan-
ness; and the ll;e legislature passed law

Mr. David A. Wells has effectually nailed

Dear sir:-My brother who is now in his 9Th

cared yoar restorative assifnulant, herbal ONT

If we deduct the above from the expendi-
lures, there remains for actual expenditure
in 1860, SIS, $40, CSC 70. This sum divided
among 81, AS, 1921 population gives within g
traction of 81 81 per capita.
Thus thea stands this second great mis-.
statement of Lord Roscoe

Expenditures in 1860, as stated by Lord
Roscoe, $l.75 per capita. AS they in reali

This is undoubtedly the largest financial
lie that has been uttered in any country or
IN any age. 1t is as near as possible forty
times multiplied falsehood. II was no doubt
10 the hope that this mountain of wicked
fsisehood should go down that further ly.
ing is thereby made smooth. Yet We take
great pleasure In mailing another one made
by Lord Loscoe, which of course does not
come up to the one nailed by the late Spe-
cial Commissioner of Revenue; yea, under
ordinary circumstances, it would be consid-
cred as great falsehood as ever was told
by Munehassp.
Lord Roscoe Conkling in his Cooper In
stitnse speech soemnly said:
But look little further. The expenses every
where have been reduced and so reduced that
they are less per capita this year than they were
under Washington, and less than they were IN
der any Administration since, with only four ex-
ceptions. and in case of these four the advan-
tsge is only apparent and but a few cents
