says the preparations for hanging the
Modocs were finished Wednesday, under
the management Of Mr.. Fields, the post
carpenter, aud an employee Of the gov
eminent for the past twenty-five years
The erection of gallows to hang six at a
time is rather an undertaking. The up.
rights stand about seventeen feet high,
surmounted by cross.beam thirty feet
in length The platform is set on pine
piles, and is eight feet below the beam,
with hinged front, on which the criminals
will be placed standing. The cutting OF
a single rope will upset the three sup
ports Of the platform and give the muir
derers u six feet drop. Lieut.. Col. lIogg
will ofllc;ate as provost marshal, and SUI
pcrintend the adjusting Of the nooses, as
sisted by se?geants and commissioned
officers. The execution will be public,
and it is expected that nearly 1000 H.

Palmer Loper of No. 797 Eighth avenue, was ar
rested last night by order Of Fire Marshal sheldon
charged with having set fire TO the stables in
Seventyeighth street, an account OF which is given

the Fire Marshars once, learned Yesterday, that
there has been some trouble between Loper and
Mr.. Muxlow the owner OF the property, and the
former has threatened on several occasions to burn
down the place. The night before last he was ca
rousing IN the neighborhood OF Third avenue and
Seventy-eighth street, and while rovng about met
asked two or three TO join him in setting fire TO
the stables, but they refused. Finally he encoun-

At recent meeting OF the Brooklyn Board OF
Aldermen the Gas and Finance Committees were
directed by resolution to confer with the several
gas companies, with view OF obtaining reduc-
tion the price OF gas, and inquire as to the feast
bllity OF the city manu- acturing Its own gas. The
conference was held last night in the Common
Council chamber, the presidents OF the several
companies being present. The object was stated
by Alderman Brown. The presidents OF the COM
panies were requested to reduce the price OF gas
from SO SO per 1000 feet to 81
Mr.. Libpy President OF the Citizens Gas Com
pany, stated that he did not think II possible to
TO make any reduction and produced table Of
figures 10 show the cost OF Its manufacture. 1t
would cost the city, he stated, SIC. 900 to build
gas works, and the amount OF interest on the
bonds issued for that purpose would make the cost
OF gas Just as much as 1t Is at present.
Mr.. Benson, the President OF the Brooklyn City
Gas Company, stated that their large dividends
were paid not rom the gas, but from the rise in
the value OF their real estate 1t was stated that
the amount Of capital invested In gas property in
Brooklyn was so, SOC, 600.
The result Of the conference win be reported at

STOKES AND MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE

Last evening the Medico-Legal Society held
stated meeting at the Medical College, corner OF
Twenty third street and Fourth avenue, Mr.. Clark
Bell presiding. long paper was read by Dr.
Eugene Penguet, entitled "Tbe Medical Jurispru-
dence OF the stokes case" The paper was merely
. recapitulation OF the medical evidence which
was testified TO In the second trial OF Edward
s. stokes for the killing OF James Fisk, ~.
At the conclusion OF this paper, which
rather inclined 10 favor the theory that Fisk had
died rom the efrects OF morphine administered to
him, general discussion was invlteu, and Dr.
McReady, the celebrated medical expert, who testl-
fed at the trial, replied 70 Mr.. Pengu 4, and was
followed by Dr. Lewis sayre and Dr. Furst. Moth
ing new was adduced, and the old ground which
had been gone over during the different trials OF
stokes was merely recovered. The attendance
was quite small, and 90 one seemed 10 know what
had been achieved By the discussion

WHIsKEY MURDERS.

It is sad reflection that even the celebration OF
the holy Christmas time draws in its train excesses
aud crimes that are blot on our civilization
Strong drink is the familiar demon OF modern So
cety, and whenever the safeguards OF prudence
are relaxed crime rushes In at a fearful pace. The
suicide Of James Galaher teaches terrible
lesson OF temperance. Unfortunately sucn
lessons are not rare, but their moral seems
TO he lost on the violent and passionate
members OF society. Under the impression that
he had killed MS wife Gallaher shot himself in the
MIDST OF MS termed family. Thus one reprehen-
temperance OF hts wife is alleged to have been the
primary cause OF quarrel. 1t Is telling reproach
TO our poasted civilization that the innate feroclty
OF man seems to be uncurbea by any law human or
divine, and that the denizen OF a great centre OF
civilization should be as easily moved to shed
blood as the most benighted savage
