STOKES.
Last Of the Great Stokes-Fisk Murder
c SC in New YOrk-Charge Of
Judge Davis.
Verdict Of the jury: "Gullty of
Manslaughter - Sentence
Four Years in the
Penitentlary.

New York, October e9.-The judge
charge terminated at forty-fve minute
past four o'clock this evening, having
lasted exactly three hours. Mr.. Ire
maine then took special exception t.
his honor's condemnation of what i,
called emotional insanity. Judge Davi,
said he used the very language of the
court of appeals. Mr.. Tremaine said he
specially objected to the expression
that the evidence of insanity was very
meagre, and asked to have the question
submitted to the jury.
Judge Davis said he had submitted il
to them within the law.
Mr.. Tremaine also took exception to
the remark that insanity as a rule in
wolves delusiOn, and that the prisoners
ideas seemed to have been based upon
reality; and to his honor saying the other
holes in the cloak, besides the four in
the breast, were not particularly mate
rial, as it was not claimed that the fatal
wound was made through any of these.
AT the conclusion of Tremaine's ex-
the case was given to the jury,
who retired, and at twenty-five minutes
past ten O'clock sent for Judge Davis, to
repeat his definitions of the various de-
yrees Of crime in taking human life,
after receiving which they again re-
tired.
LATER.-The jury have returned a
verdict Of manslaughter in the third de-
gree, and Stokes was sentenced to four
years in the State prison at hard labor.

CINCINNATI, October 29.-Last night

aged twenty-one, shot Jno. Edwards,
his father, through the abdomen from
which he died at half-past two o'clock
this morning. Richard Edwards is un-
der arrest for the murder. The testi-
mOny conflicts as to the circumstances.
Richard says his father was drunk and
abused his mother, and that he left the
house and went to change a pistol from
his coat to his pants pocket when it
went off and shot his father, who was
following several feet behind him. The
general testimony grees that the shoot
ing was outside. The investigation is
still proceeding before the coroner. The
father and son were butchers, and the
father was given to drunkenness and to
abusing his family. Richard had left
home on account of this several times,
but had always returned on persuasion
of his father.

question OF the appointment OF missionary
bishops for the Territories was called up and
discussed at length, but without reaching any
conclusion. The subject OF offerings for mis-
Slons was also discussed. Bishop Armitage, of
Wisconsin said that the cause Of the apathy
was the absence of system in the church in

LARGE ANVIL.

The largest anvil in the world has
just been cast at Woolwich England.
The plate which is to form the bed
of the monster weighs OF ITSELF 107
tons. Tbs surface lays face down
ward, and when it became cool it
took a perfectarmy ofsturdy smiths
with hydraulic jacks and combin-
alton of the strongest tackle a whole
day to lift the monstrous lump of
solid metal, twenty two feet square.
The anvil block to be mounted
thereupon will weigh only trifie
short of 200 tons, and the steam
hammer which viii strike upon it
thirty-five tons of solid metal, being
the English tons of 2,24O pounds.
The blow at full force will be tre-
mendous. In fact, it is doubtful
what will happen to the town of
Woolwlch and vicinity when the
mighty piece of mechanism gets to
work. Vulcan himself, and all the
giants who worked. beneath Mount
Etna, never dreampt of such an an
vii as this, and Thor's famous
weapon was mere tack hammer in
comparison. Taking all its metal
together it will weigh hard upon 500
TONS.

THE GATHERING AT COLUMBUS.

In point in numbers and Influence
the gathering at Columbus on the
30th of July was failure. 1t was
not a gathering of delegates. No
meetings were held in the various
counties to send up men to repre-
sent actual constituencies. Every
man who attended it was self-ap-
pointed, and represented no one but
himself. 1t was a Mass Convention
in fact, yet but. two hundred men
gathered to it, from the whole OF
the State; and these were principal
ly political outlaws, who have nc
standing whatever in any healthy
political organization. 1t was like
the horde that gathered about David
in the cave of Adullam; they went
there because they had no other
place to go. 1t will take something
more numerous and powerful than
200 grumbling and sorrowful out
casts to form nucleus of an army
fit to win battles. The real Demo

vited Ben. Butler, Dana, G. W.
