STOKES.
Sentenced to be Hung on the Twenty
Eighth Of February-ShOrtest
Time Allowed by Law.
The Prisoners Reply to his Sentence
His Counsel will Attempt TO Stay
Proceedings, and get
New Trial.

New YORK, January 6.-Stokes wa:
in Oyer and Terminer this morning, tC
receive his sentence. Tremain, his
counsel, made an address in relation tc
the bill of exceptions to the Judges rul-
ings,- which he proposed to offer.
The prisoner was then asked what he
had to say why the sentence of death
should not be passed. Stokes thereupon
said that he had not violated the law in
tentionally, and that the testimony
upon which he was convicted was man.
ufactured and periured.
Judge Boardman then in feeling ad-
dress, in which he alluded to the prison
er's youth, sentenced him to be hanged
Friday, the twenty-eighth day of Feb
ruary next, being the shortest time that
could be legally allowed convicted
man.
Stokes's counsel were in consul tation
last evening. They expressed great sur
prise at the verdict, and state it is theiI
purpose of applying at once for stay O
proceedings; and ultimately, if posi-
bic, to seek another trial.
1t seems that the lawyers regard the
newspaper and public clamor about the
prevalence of murders as partly respon-
sible for the verdict. They should have
deferred the trial of the case at this
time, but for the demands of the pris-
oner and his relatives.

LITTLE Rock, January 6.-The Leg
islature assembled at noon and com
menced organization by electing C. W.
Tankersley Speaker of the House.
Governor Baxter's inaugural address
is all that could be wished for, if he win
only keep the promises therein made.
In reference to enfranchisement he
says: ''The disfranchisement Of certain
classes for participation in the rebellion
is great impediment in the way Of re-
storing fraternal feelings among the peo-
pie, and l am gratified to know that
there is a general disposition manifested
to relieve the people in this respect. II
Is needless for me to say that earnestly
desire the immediate Acknowledgement OF
those persons who are now denied a
voice in the selection Of their rulers.
From the present Indications il Is
safe to presume that before another gen.
eral election shall be held this last YES

FATAL ACCIDENT.
An old Lady Falls from Her Bedroom
Window, and is Killed.

Prom the Baltimore Gazette.l
Yesterday morning, about ten min
uets jlefore two O'Clock, Officer James
Rouark of the western police district,
while ,,atroling his beat, observed the
form Of a woman lying on the pavement
in frount of the dwelling on the south
west corner-of Wilson street and BOul-
din alley. Upon q close examination
life was found to be extinct, and upon
inquiry il was ascertained that the de-
ceased was Mrs. Elizabeth Mink, aged
about sixty-fOur years, who resided with
her son-in-law, Henry Mahratz, at the
intersection OF the abOve-named street.
IL appears that about one O'Clock a
brother Of Mr.. MaKratz visited the
house in company with some compan-
aous, and sernaded the family from the
street. Upon taking their departure the
sSensdes wished the family "a happy
NV Year. TO which members of the
hon. ehold responded. Nothing more
was Known until the body was discover
ed. as stated. II is supposed that the
deceased, who occupied the front attic,
had been attracted by the music, and
OF going to the window after the visitors
departed. lost her balance and fell to the
pavement, thirty feet below. The right
leg OF the deceased was frRetured 10
three, and the LETT leg in two places.
Death, it is supposed, was instantaneous,
rs the BODY when found was perfectly
cold. Coroner Maekan held an inquest,
she jury rendering a verdict that the
deceased came to her death by falling
.froQl the dwelling during fit Of mental
abeuRfiOD.

Reporter-But, Mr.. Pinehbeek, you
see we claim that you have overthrOwn
our legal government, and now attempt
to defraud us of our rights.
Pinchbeck-Well, in that, you see,
am doing nothing more than you are at
tempting to do. l am helping to per-
petuate my party. If you were inside,
and out, you would not let me in, il
you could help il, and besides, suppose /

can do so peaceably, and they will not
be interfered with.
After this our reporter was retiring,
when he was called by Pinchbeck, who
stated that as
HE WAS GOING TO THE UNITED STATES
SENATE,
probably, he desired to go there as
the friend of the people, and not their
enemy. He also said that the pro-
gramme of the National Government
had been arranged, and would not allow
of interference until the matter was
placed before some proper tribunal, and
let this matter go before the people of
the United States in a peaceable light.

nal that may sit here in Washington or

On Tuesday last some men residing in
the neighborhood of Uniontown, Penn

10 a spot near Fairchance Furnace, to
shoot at a mark for turkeys. After
they had concluded their sport most OF
the party returned to their homes.
Three of them, Harrison Hughes, Will
lam Hastings, and Henry Abel, how
ever, remained, lounging about a fire
the party had built Some time after
ward a brother of Abel received mes
sage from Hastings, stating that Abel
had been badly hurt, and was lying at
the spot spoken of above. Mr.. Abel
went to the spot and found his brother
lying near the fire, and covered with
blood. He had been beaten about the
head with blunt instrument, and his
skull was broken SC badly that he died a
short time after he was found. Hughes
was taken into custody, and search was
made for Hastings, who, however, can
not be found. 1t is not known how or
under what circumstances the assault
was made. Suspicion attaches to Has
tings, and a reward is offered for his
arrest. The murdered man is the person
who killed Duncan at Uniontown, some
