NEW YoRK. October 4.-There was q
futter Of excitement among the dry goods
merchants this morning. II was caused by
the suspension Of Peake, Opdyke q Co.,
one Of the largest dry goods houses on
Broadway. Peake, the senior member OF
the firm, when questioned on this subject
this morning, said his house had suspended,
but expected to resume business IN short
time, and pay one hundred cents on the dol
lar. The suspension, he added, was caused
directly by the disruption In exchange.
His firm was owed large sums Of money
from the West, and it had been found i'm
possible to make collections. Several large
dry goods merchants on Broadway were also
questioned as to the probable effect Of the
suspension of Peake, Opdyke s. Co. upon
the market, and it seemed to be the general
opinion that no bad results would follow,
and that, although the trade was dull at
present time, the existing feeling was good,
and that there was every prospect OF brisk
trade in a week or two, when the present
stringency in money shall have passed
away.

JACKSONVILLE, Oregon, October B.
A correspondent of tho Associated Press
left Fort Klamath this morning at 80
O'Clock, and by hard riding, arrived here
late this evening with the following report
of the execution of Capt. Jack and his
band: Boston Charlie and Schonschin were
T. L.. ~ -,
jim next They trod on it with apparent
indifference, having evidently resolved to
die as bravely as they have lived. Capt.
Jack went easily up the stairway, but
looked wretched and miserable. Their
manacles were stricken off but their arms
were securely pinoned with cords.
At precisely 8 As A. n. the interpreters,
Capt. o. c. Applegate and David Hill, ex-
planned to the prisoners the nature of the
order to be read to them by the adjutant,
and at ten o'clock Adjutant Dingsbury read
the order promulgating the sentence of
the commission, the Presidents order to
the commissioners, with the order of the
Secretary of War and the Department COM
mander in the premises. The two reprieved
prisoners, Barncho and Stalux, yet stood on
the ground in front of the scaffold, shackled
and under guard. During the reading, the
pinioned victims were seated on the plat
form in front of the scaffold, with their
feet on the drop, listening anxiously, but,
of course, understanding not word of it.
The reading occupied ten minutes. Then
the adjutant read the order of commuta-
ton IN the case of Barncho and Stalux, and
the poor fellows were taken back to the
stockade, evidently rejoicing at not accom-
panying the others to the happy hunting
grounds. The chaplain offered an earnest
and fervent prayer for the souls of the cul-
prits, which was listened to attentively. At
10:15, the fatal nooses were placed
around their necks under the direction
of Capt. Hoge. It was necessary
to cut off a little of Captain Jacks long
hair, which was in the way Of the rope,
Capt. Hoge then bid farewell to the prison
ers, and the black caps were placed over
the heads of all the culprits at 10 o'clock
and twenty minutes. They stood on the
drop, and the rope was cut by an assistant
at the signal made with Capt. Hoge's hand
kerchief. The bodies swung round and
round, Jack and Jim apparently dying cas-
ily, but Boston and Schonchin suffering ter
ribly with commissions. Boston and
Schonchin repeatedly drew up their legs, but
the two others seemed to die almost in
stantly. At 1923 A. N. their pulses were
felt by Capt. Hoge, and as this is being
written they are swinging lifeless in the air.
As the drop fell, with sterribly deadly thug,
four poor wretched human beings fell into
eternity, and half smothered cry of horror
went up from the crowd Of over 500
Klamath Indians who witnessed the awful
spectacle.
Walls of deep and bitter anguish went up
from the stockade where the wives and
children Of the poor fellows had fair view
of the shocking scene.
The collins, six in number, had been placed
directly in the rear of the gallows two of
them were destined to be unoccupied, as the
order committing the sentences of Barncho
and Stalux only arrived at 1890 last eve
ming and preparations had been made for
their execution with the others.
An application was made this forenoon
to Gen. Wheaton by the sheriff of jackson
county, Oregon, for the custody of the In
dams indicted by the grand jury but it was
refused.
