THE RETURNERs IN PRISON.
NEW orleans Democrat. !

New Orleans Democrat.l
Seldom, IL ever before, has there been
SO much public feeling over the issue
of criminal case as was manifested
over that of the Returning Board. In
all grades of society, nom the highest
to the lowest, the progress and termina-
tion of this cdt<se cele6re were watched
with the most intense interest. Those
who have followed the case throughout
have seen that the jury were not only
quick In coming to their decision, but
that, after being polled, they were of a
single mind as to their verdict. They
had no hesitancy as to what it should
be. How the members of the Return
Ing Board took the verdict can be well
understood.
Not only the prisoner Anderson, but
his conireres in crime, when the axe OF
justice fell, WINGED and paled before
the approaching form of Nemesis.
Yesterday representative of the
Democrat dropped In at the Parish
Prison. twas about half-past o'clock
in the afternoon, and the quiet neigh
borhood Of Congo Square had put on
Its most demure aspect. The skies
were ashen and gloomy, and the prison
loomed up most doleful object. A
tap at the iron gate brought out one
of Capt. Gains assistants and the re-
porter was admitted. There was quite
"A motley gathering In the reception
room of the prison.
Wells was in close confabulation with
u number Of friends, and paid little
heed to what was passing around him.
His late excursion out of tho way of
| the sheriff had told on him consider
ably, and he showed the results of his
| exposure at the Rigolets plainly.
Anderson was there, lolling back in an
armchair, looking the picture Of forlorn
hope. The lines of his face have be-
come much deeper since his conviction
and the healthy flush that always
tinged his cheek has gone. Abstracted
In manner and nervous In movement,
he, more than any other prisoner In
the building, showed the effects of the
jury's verdict.
"Beef, oh In the hail." was cried In
stentorian tones through the building
| as a call to dinner, and Wells and An
derson left their guests, the former
bearing present In the shape of q dish
of mayonnaise,s sent to him by friend.
At dinner, In the lower hall, Wells
showed splendid appetite. Discuss
Ing at his case dish of lettuce, he
showed all the GOODNESS of II stole over
his troubles. Anderson did not take
80 kindly to his grub. He toyed more
with 1t and evidenced that his physical
digestion was as much affected by the
events OF the last few days as his men,
tai.
The dinner table was worthy OF n
photograph. Laun, OF the Carr en-
bezzlement case, used knife and fork
assiduously, and Dave G. johnson, who,
through the Infamous lottery law, liz in
durance vile, took kindly to the fare.
There was not much conversation at
that table. Each was occupied, even
during the meal, with his own trou-
bles, and did not seek the sympathies
of his neighbor. Hayes about the
same time was enjoying his frugal re-
past beneath the spacious roof of the
White House, whilst the henchmen
who put him where he Is were behind
the grating, under the eye of sheriff.
Such is life.

More Failures i'm Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-Several fly
ing rumors about failures have been
traced, but only two more were made
known to-day. The old house Of Rob
ert Wood & Co., founders, who cast the
MCPHERSON bronze statue in Washington,
several statues for Fairmount Park, and
some for the Boston army and navy
monument, have discharged their work
men, numbering about fifty, and called
creditors together. The failure is not
heavy, but due to accommodation paper
loaned other firms, and as the creditors
are nearly all Philadelphia metal dealers
they hope to resume at once. Gilmour
d. Challis, wholesale grocers, Frankfort,
have failed for 5000. The liabilities
OF Richardson, Mclivain d Co., of Ches-
ter, are $4,000.

THE FUNERAL OF A cESTENARIAS-HUN-
DREDs VIEW THE REMAINS

THE FUNERAL OF CENTENARIAN-HUN-
DREDs VIEW THE REMAINS.
All that remained of Dell.Noblitt, Sr.,
the Centenarian was consigned to the
grave this afternoon In the Wilmington
and Brandywine cemetrey. The body
was dressed at a plain black cloth suit,
and as 1t reposed In the handsome silver
mounted burial casket, IL looked even
younger than in life. The expression of
the face was perfectly calm and few
wrinkles were to be seen. In keeping
with his plain life there were but few
floral offerings.
At the head of the casket upon q stand
rested a magnificent crown surmounted
by small crosss the gift Of Mr.. Hugh
Craig, one of the directors of the Corn
Exchange in Philadelphia. At the foot
was smaller one, while upon the body
was placed large and beautiful cross of
lilies and immortelles, and at the feet was
bunch Of threshed wheat heads, the
gift of the family.
On the lid of the casket was silver
plate, bearing she following inscription:
DELL NOBLIT.
BORN OCT 10, 1777,
Died Jan. q, 1873
At 10 o'clock the family took their final
leave of the remains; and at IL o'clock the
public were admitted, and from that time
until 2 o'clock, there was an interrupted
string of people passing in and out, and 1t
is estimated that thousands viewed the
remains.
Among the strangers present were
Mr.. j. p. Rhoads, Robert Reed, James G.
Allen, George Boyd and VIM. Brown, of
Philadelphia.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock the Delaware
Fire Company, numbering about As men,
bers marched in a body to the residence
and took last look at their old member.
The company also followed the remains
to the grave, having hired for that pur-
pose number of coaches, and the other
fire companies also rendered the services
of their horses.
The following gentlemen acted M pail
bearers Messrs. John b. Lewis, Joseph
q. Seeds, Evan g. Stotsenburg, Baudy
Simmons, Thomas McClary, John H.
Adams, Joshua Maris, and James l.. De
You.

fierce and angry clouds, which, after flash

west and the clouds assumed higher attl-

and the rain ceased. 1t continued cloudy
