TWO MURDERERS HANGED.
The Scene at Ihe GRIIcws-C Confessions
of the PrIsOEers-Last Moments
Etc. Etc.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 9.-LOuis
Rosentine and John Moody were hanged
in the jail-yaTd here to-day for the muir
der, in November, 1878, of Abraham
Helm, an old farmer of Dauphin coun-
~. About two hundred persons wit
messed the execution. Atelev,sn o'clock
lunch was served the condemned, of
which they partOok with a relish. RO-
sentine made the remark that it was
their last meal on earth, and hoped their
next would be in heaven. At a quarter
past twelve O'clock the prisoners were
brought into the jail-yard, accompanied
by clergy, and Mo0dy's wife and father.
Moody and Rosentine ascended the
scaffold with very firm steps. A hymn
was sung, in which the prisoners Joined
with great animation. At forty minutes
past twelve O'Clock, the spiritual exer-
cises being concluded, Rosentine made a
short address: He hoped every man
would forgive him, as he knew God had
forgiven him. He hoped to meet them
all in heaven. He said: 'iI bless
all who pray for me. l hope to
meet you all again. l thank God | can
die now. l have done wrong, and am
sorry for it. l have no hard feelings
against any one. l murdered Abraham
Helm. l bid you all goodbye. May
God have mercy on my soul. Amen"
Moody made long speech, but 1t was
very incOherent. The substance was:
"He was along with Rosentine, aud de-
served to die. He hoped for forgiveness.
He thanked hisattendants for their kind
treatment He prayed God to bless all
his friends He hoped to meet his
mother in heaven" The bags were
placed over their heads, their hands and
feet piniOned, and al ten minutes before
one o'clock the drop fell with loud
thud. ROsentine died instantly, no
movement being noticeable, with the
exception of a slight heaving of the
chest. Moody struggled considerably
for three or four minutes. After hang
ing about thirty minutes, life was pro-
nOunced extinct.

Horrible Murder.

A Murder, which, considered in
view of all its horrible attending cir
cumstances, perhaps surpasses in
cold-bloodcd atrocIty any deed OF
its nature ever recorded, came to
light yesterday afternoon at five
O'Clock by the discovery of the body
of the victim on the beach of DOrches-
ter Bay midway between South Bos-
ton and Savin Hill. The murder person
ed was boy, four and one-half wears
old, named Horace III. Miller, wh ose
father resides at 253 Dorchester
street The first intimation which
the authorities had of the affair was
when deaf-mute boy of about four
teen years came up to officer Lyons.
of station IN, drawing his hand
across his throat and mysteriously
pointing in the direction of the place
mentioned.
The officer hardly knew what to
make of the boys motions, bu. final
ly concluded to follow him, and pres
emily came upon the explanation, the
corpse of then unknown child
lying within circle stones pulled up
for clam bake. The throat was
cut from ear to ear, an uglv stab had
completely put out the left eve. a
deep wound had severed the iugular
vein, and subsequent investigation
exposed the horrible fact that eigh-
teen stabs, forming a circle of about
three inches diameter about the
breast, had been made with some
instrument like an awl, or remarka-
bly, slender knife blade, and that with
view to severing an artery, the
left testicle had been extracted and a
stab inflicted, penetrating the groin
to considerable depth. The deaf
mute had been playing about the
swamp and beach, and, having dis
covered the body, had FASTENED to
inform the first officer whom he should
meet.
This much ascertained, of course
the next question had to do with the
murderer. Here there was nothing
to guide the inquirer except mere
guesswork. 1t seemed to be the
impression among the detectives that
no person of sane mind could have
committed the murder, so,inhumanIv
cruel, so unnecessary to the execution
of any ordinary intent were those hor-
rid mutilations. Some one recollec,-
ed horrible tragedy enacted about
two years ago in Chelsea. An East
Boston was enticcd from his home
and taken to the scclusion of Powder
Horn Hill, where he was found tied
fast to tree and cut and stabbed so
terribly, that, after the most excrucia-
ting suffering, he died within short
time. The fiend who pcrpetrated
this diabolical deed was boy named
Pomeroy, who was tried, convicted,
and sentenced to two years at West
boro'. The similarity to the two
murders was so great that it seemed
almost logical conclusion that they
were the work of one and the same
hand.

The establishment is known among
sports as a "Club House" External
ly, it is a quiet, rather elegant house,
that the passer-by would suppose to
be the dwelling of some reputable,
well TODD citizen. You ascend the
flight of steps-the outer hall door is

flies open and q gentlemanly negro's

SINCE the passage of the currenC

SINCE the passage of the currency

was assumed as a fact, (though why
no one can now tell, that it would
meet the appreciation of the Presi-

by his enemies, and visited and peti-
toned by self-constituted committees
from the eastern cities averse to the
increase Of the national paper cur
rency. To all these remonstrants-
friend and foe alike-he listened, but
made no sign, and that the bill would
become a law with his approval was
taken for granted. The surprise of
the country was deep therefore, and
the qualification of some and the dis
appointment of others almost un-
measurable, when on Wednesday
last, he returned the bill to the Sem
ate with his veto. The message is
frank, explicit and strong, and while
it has called forth much hasty, and
occasionally angry comment, the
calmer judgment of the country will
eventually approve it.
1t opens with the expression of a
regret that though be had "studious-
ly sought" he had sought unsuccess-
fully, for any argument that would
justify his assent to the bill. While
there was q doubt as to whether the
measure would have added an addi-
tional dollar TO the "unredeemable
paper currency of the country he
recognizes the fact that it was pass
ed as a measure of imitation, and that
his approval Of it would be an ap

This theory, as be vigorously ex-

Every five days the Democratic NAL

asses as to suppose they can thus

Meanwhile in a number of coun-

is denied the people. Let it be re-

THEY are having a lively fight in
the Democratic ranks in this State
over the time at which their State
nominating convention is to be held.
The convention some time since, was
called for the 10th Of June, at Pitts
burgh, but fight is now being made
against that arrangement by the par,
ty leaders in the east, and a determin'
alton exhibited to postpone the meet
ing until later in the season. The
moving cause is the fact that under

the east, determined to have the can

Unveiled by Death.

PITTsBURG, April 20.-It was com
monty supposed that Colonel William
Phillips, president of the Allegheny
Valley railroad, and one ofPittsburg'.
millionaires, who died last week was
a bachelor and that his entire person
al and real estate would 90 to his
only brother and sister. However.
it appears that there are other claim
ants to the rich inheritance of this
bachelor millionaire, as be was call.
ed.
The story goes that Colonel Phil
lips was married years ago to wild
ow Hemingway. The matter was al
ways kept secret, the lady, who re-
tanned the name of Mrs. Hemingway
having her residence apart from
Colonel Phillips. As a result Of this
union five children were born, four
boys and girl. Mrs. Hemingway
died some six or seven years ago.
Three of the children are also dead,
and the remaining two, whose names
are William and Robert Il. Hemin-
gray, are still living and, il is they
who now lay claim to the estate on
the ground that they are legitimate
children of Colonel Phillips, and,
therefore, heirs to the estate.
They have been consulting with
their attorney in the premises, but no
deiinate course has Yet been decided
upon, although the probabilities are
that they will sue 70 recover the
estate.
1t is said that there are persons
living who witnessed the marriage
ceremony between Colonel Phillips
and Mrs. Hemingway, as well as
some who have seen the marriage
certificate The estate of Colonel
Phillips is worth millions of dollars,
and there promises to be a lively legal
contest for the possession of it.
