The New York Times says it is stated an
arrangement has been effected by which Pc
ter 3. Sweeney, the noted ring thief, is to
return and be granted immunities against an
ORDER OF the court or any bench warrant du-
ring the trial Of his case and for thirty DAYS
thereafter, and it is understood that a COM
promise will be made with HIM and all the
other leading ring men. The suit against
Sweeney for Sc, 900, 600 is set down for tt
early in January. On the other hand a gem
tleman who has been actively in the pros
ecution OF the Tammany ring, says he knows
nothing OF any compromise, and does not
believe any is contemplated. If any such
step had been taken he is sure he would
have known OF it. Sweeney was in Paris
Thursday, and is not likely to come back to
confront 4 New York jury.

The United States steamer Gettysburg has
returned to Gibraltar after further examina-
ton OF the coral reef recently discovered in
the Atlantic. The position WIS duly verti-
fed. Ore hundred additional ssundingS
were made which gave u fair outline of the
limits OF the reef. The question as to whether
its existence is danger is still unsettled,
however. The reef forms the summit oil
an Isolated submarine mountain, having 9
circular base, with q radius from the summit
OF twenty miles. The mountain rises regu
lary from depth Of $1,000 to 1850 feet
capped with live coral. The pank around
the edges gives indications OF comparatively
recent volcanic disturbances,

A TEXAS MURDER.
A CHRISTMAS NIGHT TRAGEDY IN AN AUS
TIN THEATRE.

TIN THEATRE.
A despatch from Austin, Texas, Decem-
Der 26, to the st. Louis Globe says: "a
terrible tragedy was enacted at the Capital
Theater on Christmas night, Mr.. Wilson, the
proprietor of the establishment being killed,
and the bar tender having his tongue shot
out The attending physicians say he will
die also. The night before Christmas Will
son elected several disorderly characters
from the theatre, one OF the number being
noted desperate and brother OF Bill Thomp-
son, OF Kansas, the man who was
captured in this State three weeks ago, and
taken to Abilene, where he had murdered
Sheriff. Thompson swore that he would be
.revenged on Wilson for putting him out, and
the latter had presentiment that he would
be killed, speaking freely to his family on
the subject. During the day a gentleman
called on Wilson and told him that he had
overheard several men discussing plot 70
kill him at the theatre that night. Tonight is
my last in Texas" replied Wilson, 81 have
felt it all day." The doomed man applied
to the Captain Of Police for protection, and
after stating his fears two officers were de-
tailed to keep Thompson under surveillance.
Wilson mother entreated him to remain at
aome on the night of the murder, but as
itswas Christmas night, and he knew the
theatre would be crowded he refused to neg
lechh his business. The old lady, who, with
seven daughters, were dependent on the
murdered man for support, wept bitterly on
parting with her son. AS Wilson entered
the theatre he noticed Thompson and two
accomplices seated on tables opposite the
bar. AS1ie passed, Thompson thrust at him
with large knife. at the same time throw
ing a handful Of lampblack in his victims
face to band him. Wilson rushed to the bar
and seized double-5arrelled shot gun and
fired at Thompson, but just as he pulled the
trigger, one of the officers detailed to pro-
tect him, knocked up the gun and the charge
passed over Thompson's head, lodging in tie
wall. Thompson then fired three shots at
Wilson, hitting him ever time, one ball en-
tering the heart causing instant death. A
Aou1 Ill SliOI WIS ItICu sit JIG VII tcluCI Cttt-
ting out his tongue. The murderer and his
accomplices were arrested and locked up,
and they will probably escape the punish
ment they deserve, rs all who know Thomp
son are afraid to testify against him. He
bears the same reputation in Texas as his
brother in Kansas-that of being cold
blooded murderer.

The Brains of Criminals.
From the Medical Examiner. ]

From the Medical Examiner.
In our last assure we publihcd very inter.
esting letter from our Vienna correspondent,
in which brief summary was given of Pro-
lessor Benedict's researches on the brains
and skulls of criminals. The subject is an
important one, both from physiological and
aspsy Geological point of view, and tits hoped
that more extended and more precise inqui
ries will be made upon it, for the results
very important, are not sufficiently nume-
rous to warrant any large inductions. Up
to the present time DR.. Benedict has exam
ined the brains of sixteen criminals, all of
which, on comparison with the healthy brain,
he finds to be abnormal. Not only has he
found that these brains deviatc from the nor
NAL type, and approach toward that OF lower
animals, but he has been able to classify
them, anil with them the skulls in which
they were contained, in three categories.
These consist in: First, absence of symmetry
between the wo halves of the brain: second
an excessive obliquity Of the anterior part of
the brain or skuu-in fact, a continuation
upward of what we term sloping forehead;
third, a distinct lessening of the posterior
part OF the skull and in its long diameter.
and with it diminution i'll size of the pros
terror cerabral lobes, so that, as in the lower
animals, they are not large enough to hide
the cerrebellun. In all these peculiarities
the criminals brain skull are distinctly OF q
lower type than those Of normal men, and
the interesting question arises, how far are
the evil acts of the criminal to be attributed
| to this retrograde development? DIR. Watts
can pardon the vicious propensties Of ''bears
I'D lions,'' on the ground that 'God hat
mn lie them so.'' If he had foreseen thes
new Inquiries he might have felt less hope

further exa, uination, will do much to shak
many beliefs now firmly fixed.
