DREADFUL CONFEDERATION.
destruction Of the Chicopes (Mass.) Cotton
Miils-Nearly 5000 Bales of Cotton
Burned-over 100000 Lost-soo
Hands Thrown Out Of EMPLOYMENT

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 15. 1s7a
one OF the most destructive fires in Western
Massachusetts, for many years broke out at i've
minutes past ten O'Clock last night in mill No. OF
the Dwight Manufacturing Company OF Chicopee.
and before the flames were extinguished DESTROYED
That and the mill adjoining, No. l. belonging to the
same company.
The fire caught In the wheel room by the acct
dental overturning OF lamp and spread very
rapidly. At hall-past ten O'Clock two steamers
were sent from this city, but before their arrival
the buildings were nearly consumed The mills
were employed in the manufacture OF cotton sheet
ing and cotton flannel and contained $500 bales OF
cotton, which were destroyed, together with the
stock house and three sheds.
In addition to the two mills burned at Chicopee
Falls last night there were destroyed the engine
and picker building, two storehouses filled with
first class lumber and old and new machinery, and
part OF the railroad freight depot, which was used
as stsreh0use for cotton. There were 1900
bales OF cotton IN the cotton st0rehouse, most OF
which was completely ruined.
There were about nine hundred looms In the two
mills and the cloth in them, about twenty five hum
dred cuts, which were burned, together with about
pounds of coarse yarn.
Eight hundred hands were thrown out OF en-
ployment b. the fire, tbree-iOurths OF whom were
girls. The running on extra time In the remaining
mills and preparing for rebuilding will afford en-
pl0yment considerable portion OF this force OF
hands. but many OF them will be obliged to seek
work elsewhere.
The fire will prove very serious disaster to the
general prosperity OF the village "a the operatives
are largely indebted to the merchants for supplies
furnished in anticipation OF the monthly pay day.
which was to have been tomorrow f@
The loss OF the company Is to-day estimated at
hall million dollars.

In the Court OF Special Sessions yesterday there

and defence, Mr.. Bergh first taking the stand.
He stated that on the 9TH instant, near Aston

OF the above mentioned company, nnding
that one OF the horses he was driving
was lame, and covered with Precipitation.

JAMES G. KING DYING.

The Man Who Killed O'Nctn Unable 20
stand His Trial-He Is Rapidly VAST
ing Away with q ConglOmeration Of
Disorders-To BE Transferred to Belize
vuc-Probability that He Will Never

James G. King, the lawyer who killed O'Neirl
some months ago on the stairway leading from the
law Offices Of Mr.. Justice Sutherland, and who has
been confined in the Tombs ever since, 1t is now
pretty certain will never be tried King since the
day he committed the deed for which he entered
the Tombs prison, has been sinking under the
weight Of several diseases, and has now come to
such pass that he cannot rise from his bed. In
deed the trial, which was to have been on some
time since, has Neen postponed from time
to time, to allow King to regain his
health sufficiently to appear in Court.
Instead of this, however, he has been growing
worse and 1t Is now certain that he can never re-
cover his health. He never leaves his bed and
lies on 1t constantly without moving, beng unable
even to sit up. It has been clear for some time
that he was not well, but 1t Is only within the last
few days that the extent Of his disease has become

might have taken years to bring his system to the
state Ii Is now, after few short months. IT they
ever expect to dc anything with HIM they must

that King would in all probability be taken TO

THE BOUND BROOK MYSTERY.
The investigation Relative to the Death
OF samuel Kennedy-verdict Of the
Jury.

The Investigation Relative to the Death
OF Samuel Kennedy-veriict OF tho
Jury.
BOUND BROOK, N. j. April Is, 1873.
The adjourned inquest relative to the killing OF
Samuel Kennedy, who was found In dying condi-
ton on the track OF the New Jersey Central Rail-
road which was held on yesterday week. was re.
sumed this afternoon in the Bound Brook Hotel. A
cloud OF mystery surrounds the circumstances OF
Mr.. kennedy's death, many thinking that there
was foul play somewhere, and the result OF the
inquest instead OF throwing light upon the matter,
has only tended 10 make the mystery deeper The
inquiry was conducted by Coroner Bush, who was
assisted by youth who was formerly village
schoolmaster, but who IL now training for the Bar.
This young gentleman carried everything with q
nigh hand and slurred over great deal OF impor-
tant evidence, succeeding In the end in making
himself appear rather ridiculous. The testimony
OF the Doctor. which was anxiously looked for,
proved nothing either way, although the language
oi the Doctor would convey the impression that
death was caused by repeated blows OF some in.
strument. Strange to say, the German on whom
sIspiclon rests was not produced in court as
witness altnough his evidence would have been
an opportunity to clear himself.
Ihe Germans who form a large part of the popu-
lation OF Bound Brook and Its vicinity, are greatly
excited over the statements which have been pub.
lished IN several journals relative to the German
death OF the deceased. They attended the inquest
~ strong force yesterday. and at the close OF the
inquiry violent demonstration was made against
the reporters outside the hotel. Threats were
freely used, and at one time personal violence was
about to be brought into requisition; but, primed
as the excited lunatics were with lager they hesi-
tatcd before they brought their muscle into play.
Finding they could not frighten the reporters In
TINS manner, other means were adopted, and
pressing demand was made upon the Coroner to
issue warrants and have the gentlemen of the
press Immediately arrested This the Coroner

the case In state OF great doubt, but from the
bungling manner in which it was conducted and
the unaccountaDle absence OF the most material

been making every effort to obtain stay OF the
dread sentence. Petitions were numereusly signed
by prominent citizens OF Newark and other places,
In his behalf. His lawyers and the Roman Catholic
priest (who Is an Italian) OF the congregation to
which the cuprit formerly belonged, were In Tren-
ton yesterday imporing the mercy OF the Court.
Notwithstanding all this influence, the application
was refused, and the law WILL therefore, take its
course. No hopes for cemency are held out, as the
refusal BY this Court which IL the last resort puts
an end to OIL other applications.
