The Navy Secretaryship.

When we received the names of the men
who were to compose the Cabinet of President
Hayes. we assigned the portfolio of the Navy to
Gen. Devens, because he was born in town
when there is a navy yard, and knows when he
sees a ship, and when he ships a sea. But it
was foreordained that our new secretary should
come from the far West where the blowy
prairies roll. 1t is related of one of these up
country secretaries that on his first visit to a
navy yard he was taken on board ship, and
when he looked down the open hatch way he
exclaimed, Great Caesars ghost the taiag is
hollowP' But there are always dry-nurses in
Washington to take care of such secretaries.
The wooden nutmeg state has furnished two
Secretaries of the Navy, but New England does
not feel proud of their history. 1t will be re-
membered that one of them scattered the ships
all abroad, some of them to the farthest Ind to
aid the South in opening the rebellion. On his
first visit to the New York Navy Yard, he was
shown all the stores and shops, and when he
came to the oakum shop, where oakum is
picked by machinery, he innoccntly inquired if
oakum was used in the navy A man from
Cork couldn't have been more brilliant, even if
he had been by trade caulker.-CentrM NeU

Phair's Execution Postponed.
How the Hanging Of a Possibly
Innocent Man Was Prevented.

WINDSOR, VT, April 6.-John Phair, the
convicted murderer, who killed and robbed
Mrs. Frieze and set fire to her house to conceal
the crime, has been respited until Maya.
Boston, April The circumstances attend
ing the reprieve of Jno. P. Phar, who was to
to-day, are of peculiar interest. He had been
convicted purely upon circumstantial evidence,
principally upon the testimony of the clark of
the Adams House in this city. who identified
him as the man who passed the night there
June 9, 1874 also of two pawnbrokers who
identified Pbair as the man who pawned with
them, on the morning of the 10th, articles of
Jewelry OF the murdered woman. Phair as
serted he was in Providence the night of the
9th and came to Boston on the noon train of
the 10th. This was, however, unsubstantiated
at the trial. This morning M. d. Downing of
the Novelty Manufacturing Co., No. SO School
street, reading Phair's statement in the morn
ing papers, became convinced that Phair was
the man he met and accompanied from Provi-
dence to Boston June 10th, and visiting the
office of the chief of police, identified photo
graph 200. If correct, it would establish an
abb beyond question. He telegraphed Gov.
Fairbanks at Montpelier. The Governor was
at st. Johnsbury and the despatch was resent
there, arriving at Is minutes before the hour
for execution. The Governor by mere chance
was at the telegraph Office when it was re-
ceived and Immediately telegraphed the Sheriff
at WINDSOR to postpone the execution. The
affair has created unusual excitement, and it
is generally believed here that Phair is inno-
cent.
Phair has Gained down considerably tonight.
Rev. Mr.. Folger visited him at his cell at seven
O'clock and found him just seated for supper,
which was brought from the Superintendent
table. Phair did not sleep last night, but fell
asleep this morning and remained SO about two
hours. He then ate a hearty breakfast, and
had eaten nothing since then till tea. When
Sheriff Stimson announced the reprieve to
Phair, he gasped out, "Send to mother" He
has since sent dispatch to Gov Fairbanks,
tnanking him for the reprieve.

NEW YORK.


Post mortem examination was held over the
body of Orville D. Jewett this morning 1t is
said two dagger wounds were found in the
stomach of the deceased and another on the
back. The Telegram says the condition of Mr..
Dean, the only living witness of the tragedy,
Is much improved this morning. He refused
any information to-day on the subject. The
funeral of Orville d. Jewett takes place Sum
day, from his uncle's residence, Brooklyn. His
wife is dangerously ill with fever at her
ment of her husbands death would certainly
kill her. The factory and works at Staten
Island are closed, thus enforcing several hun
dred people to idleness.
The tragedy still attracting great attention
here. A veteran police officer expresses the
firm conviction that Orville D. Jewett was
shot in self defence by M. Dean. He believes
the younger Jewett went into the Office with
the determination of killing some one, and that
he made his first attack on Mr.. Dean who,
he thinks, drew the smaller of the two pistols
found on the office floor, and discharged four
barrels, thus infctng the four shot wounds
found on the body of Orville ID. Jewett The
latter probably carried the hand grenade with
him into the Office and dashed it down upon the
floor, as reckless OF his own life as of other
mems. The officer believes the theory is only
one which accounts for the wounds in Jewett's
breast and abdomen.
Foster Higgins, friend of OrvilIe D. Jewett,
relates the following conversation which took
Crvy, this is terrible affair and may bring
an innocent man into trouble. Will you tell
me how it happened?
Jewell replied: 1t was an accident, Foster.
I'll tell you all about 1t tomorrow. 1 am too
confused now to say anything.
The shot wound by the large ball is explained
by Higgins as follows: Orville had, when he
fell, the pistol in his hand and the agony Of
pain made him press the trigger. This ac
counts for the second explosion heard by Muir
ray, the fireman.
The presence of the hand grenade and large
pistol is accounted for by Higgins as follows:
Mr.. Jewett was captain in the volunteer army
and led the storming party which assaulted
Port Hudson He had great fancy for col
Letting war relics and kept quite collection of
them in his Office at 1872 Front street. Having
to complete some arrangements with his part
ners, Orville Jewett brought the pistol and the
hand grenade into the private room of the Sc n
ior partner and there placed the grenade on the
mantle piece. Thence it must have dropped to
the floor and exploded.
