left the jail under strong guard and walked to the place of execution. The gallows was erected on the bank of the Mississippi river under a gigantic pecan tree, where the condemned men joined in singing two hymns. On the scafold Mckee confessed to murdering Penn, and Sanford spoke for several minutes in a clear, firm voice, also confessing his guilt, and saying he, too, was prepared to die. At this mo- ment great feeling was exhibited by many of the crowd, number of men pushing their way through the guard and climbing the steps of the scaffold to grasp their hands and bid them good bye. The drop was sprung at o'clock. McKee's neck was bro

City Court Notes.

In the City Court on Saturday the case against Vim. Bates, accused of stealing Con- missioner FuIler's diamond stud, came up by continuance. Bates was not in court. Judge Blydenburgh appeared for him and asked that the case be erased from the docket on the ground that the warrant was insufficient. The grounds on which the motion was made were that the warrant for Bates arrest was signed in blank and filled in afterwards also that the return was worthless, as it was signed by Lieutenant Sheridan, who had nothing to do with the arrest. There was a
 short hearing in order that there might be
 finding of facts, and then Judge Pardee de-
 eided that the arrest was legal and overruled
 l the motion of Judge Blydenburgh. He re-
 fused to allow postponement until Wednes-
 day for trial, and then ordered the bond of
 $500 called, which was done. Deputy Sheriff
 Stevens is the bondsnan.
 The cases against the two boys John Eagan and John Mulligan, for theft from the money drawer of Francis Chidsey, Fair
 Haven, came up by continuance. Judge Pardee suspended judgment after advising the fathers to keep close watch of the boys. James Potter, who was charged with drunk enness and assaulting his wife, pleaded guilty to both charges. He was fined $5 and costs
 on the first count and for the assault was sent to jail for four weeks.
 l Julia Delaney, who was arrested on a
 charge of night walking was discharged on the ground of insufficient evidence

A Stricken TOVvn-Nearly Every Family
 Down With Epidemic.
 BOUND BRooK, July 11.-Malarial fever is af1icting this town to an alarming extent. Attempts have been made to conceal its rapid spread, for fear it would deter the summer boarders from coming here, and would drive away the business men from New York, who are accustomed to rusticate here. Conceal ment is no longer prudent or possible, and the citizens are thoroughly frightened.
 The cause of the malaria seems to be the large mill pond situated on the edge of the town. It is owned by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, who purchased it when their road was built, in order to provide their tanks with water. The mill was burned last year, and no new one has been erected. Three years ago the dam was raised about IS inches, which made the water flood some six ty acres of the meadow, instead of ten or twelve as formerly. A late examination of the pond and it's surroundings clearly re- vealed breeding place of malaria. At night the sixty acres are covered with water. The meadow land is boggy, with long tangled grass, pond lilies, and green scum over it. During the day there is a very perceptible and unpleasant smell issuing from the east side, and after sunset the odor increases and comes from both sides. Standing anywhere in the vicinity after p. an odor similar to that from a bone factory is perceived. There being no mill, the water rises at night in Green brook, 8 small stream near by, and causes much of thefiood. This overflow drains down during the daytime, and the hot sun pouring it's rays on the bog and muck pro- duces the scum and foul air.
 Twenty years ago all that bog land was fine meadow, over which wagons were driven, and people lived on it. Since the dam has been raised the land has become nearly worthless, and the people were com pelled to leave the vicinity. Dr. Chauncey Field, the leading physician of the town, said he did not know of family in Bound Brook which did not have to take quinine One of the residents said the prevalence of malaria for two years past had stopped the growth of the town almost entirely, and that the population, generally so much larger in summer, had scarcely increased at all this season.

 NEW YORK, July 10, 1880. J The stock market has shown rather Q weak tone in the past few days which be attributed in part to the absence of many operators from the city. It is probable, too, that this half-hohday week has been taken good time to attack the granger stocks the strength of bad crop reports telegraphed from the West. Certainly the general situation appears rather strong and the reports of railroad earnings for June and the first half of this year, reported elsewhere, make exhibit of increase the pre- ceding year which has hot heretofore been matched The market to day dull and generally strong

The Excursfons.

The excursion by the steamer John H. Starin to Dinah's Rock and other parts of Shelter Island Saturday, was much enjoyed by those who went. It was delightfully."- cool on the water, and the good orchestra on the boat added much to the pleasure of the ex- cursionists. Dinah's Rock, where landings are now made, is a very pleasant place. Toothsome clam-bakes are supplied there, and there are also splendid grove, music and facilities for dancing and other amusements. It is apparently destined to become very popular place. The Starin goes to Shelter Island Tuesdays and Saturdays, and cheap CT and more satisfactory excursion would be hard to find.

 NEW YORK, July 11.-Henry Dabl, aSwsde, who arrived in the steamer City of Alabama several days ago, was picked up insensible on the track of the Hudson river railroad at 10th street early this morning. He was taken to hospital, and when suficientlyre- covered stated that he desired to follow his vocation of farmer and purchased a ticket for Chicago via the New York Central and Hudson river railroad. At an early hour yesterday morning he started on the emigrant train on this line. He was drowsy and tired and soon fell asleep. On entering the car he had mo- ticed three men who were sitting together eyeing him closely and thought of them as he fell asleep. He was. awakened by a feel ing of strangulation and found that the three men had hold of him and were rihing his pockets. He could not scream, as hand was placed over his mouth The men after robbing him lifted him up and threw him from the train This was all that he recollected until he found himself in the police station. He said that they robbed him of a silver watch, $166 62 in money and ticket to Chicago He did not know what became of his baggage The trains on the Hudson river road make fast time, and the one from which Dabl was thrown was running at the time somewhere between thrty-ive and forty miles an hour His life was saved by his falling on his back on the grass few feet from the track. By the time Dabl had finished his story he was suffi- ciently recovered to walk, and was none the worse for his fall with the exception of cut on his forehead, which was sewed up. DabI is destitute, all his property having been ta- ken from him. He is unable to give an ac- curate description of his assailants, owing to the dimness of the light and excitement un- der which he was laboring at the time.
