A Double Executlon-Two Murderers
 Expiate Their Crimes.
 PHILADELpH1A, Jan. 6.-In the corridor of Moyamensing prison this morning occurred the first double exection ever witnessed with in the walls of that gloomy structure. The victims were Patrick Hayes, who on the 23d of March last with coolness and deliberation fired two bullets into his wife's head, and Daniel T. Sullivan, who on the night of May 5th, 1879, in lodging house at 21s South street, shot Josie Irwin, young woman who had deserted a good home and good hus- band to live with him as his mistress. Both men passed calm though almost sleepless night At 1925 3. m. Sullivan was brought down from his cell on the upper tier to the door of Hayes cell on the ground floor, and immediately afterwards the procession pro- ceeded to the gallows, near the end of the same corridor. Both men walked firmly. On the scaffold they knelt and prayed, the priests kneeling between them, and when they arose Hayes laid aside the beads upon which he had been telling his prayers, and attempted to address those present, speak ing in wild and incoherent manner Two of the priests reasoned with him and endeav-

He seemed anxious to narrate the history of his married life, but at last yielded as he said himself. to the request of his pastor, at the same time protesting that he was not afraid of the gallows. Mean while Sullivan stood calmly kissing his cruel fix and listening to the exhortations of the third priest. Finally Hayes expressed his hope for forgiveness, forgiving all himself the priests retired to the top step of the gal lows, where they knelt; the nooses were ad- justed at 1o:3s while the priests were re- citing the de profstaadfs the drop fell.

Coy ernor Davis term of office having expired, President Locke of the Senate is acting Gov ernor until one is appointed. General Plais- ted is utterly opposed to the Greenback con- ference to be held tomorrow, deeming it ill., timed. Excursion trains are run at half fare to accommodate delegates and others inter ested. It is premature to predict, however, until the caucus is held. Governor Davis sent list of seventeen reprieves and pardons to the Senate to-day.

 The bank commissioners, Messrs. William Faxon and James w. Hyatt, have submitted their annual report to October l. 1880, to the General Assembly.

The total deposits amount to $76, ,519 ,57O 91, an increase of $3, ,676, 127. .52 during the year. There are 213,91 depositors, or more than one-third of the entire population of the State; and the number is nearly 6,OOO greater than ever before. The average amount to each depositor is $357.70. The largest amount of a single depositor is $31. .426. S7 1; this deposit is in the savings bank of New London.

They say that one gentleman has informed them that he had deposits in over forty different savings banks in this and neighboring States. The com missioners say, stAs long as savings banks continue to pay dividends greater than can be realized upon government and other bonds. so long will they be pressed to receive large sums" Of the Dime Savings bank, of Hart ford, they say:
 "The Dime Savings bank has sealed 331 per cent. of it's deposits, and opened its doors for business, the injunction having been re- moved on the 7th of December. Its assets. and the security for it's mortgage loans, were carefully appraised by three judicious and dislnterested citizens of Hartford, and their report the basis for determining the amount necessary to be scaled to render the bank solvent.

At the city of Medina, in Italy,
and about four miles around it,
wherever the earth is dug, when the
workmen arrive at a distance of So
feet they come to bed of chalk,
which they bore with an anger, five
feet deep. They then withdraw from
the pit before the anger is removed,
and upon its extraction the water
bursts through the aperture with
great violence and quickly fills the
newly made we'll, which continues
full, and is affected neither by rains
nor draught. But what IS most re-
markable in the operation is the lay
er of earth as you descend. AT the
depth of IA feet are found the ruins
of an ancient city, paved streets,
houses, floors and different pieces of
mason work. Under this is found a
soft, oozy earth, made up of vegeta.
bles, and at 20 feet large trees with
the walnuts sticking to the stem, and
the leaves and branches in a perfect
state of preservation. AT % feet
deep soft chalk is found, mixed
with vast quantity of shells, and
the bed it two feet thick. Under
this vegetables are found again.

Triumphs Earlier than Bern
hardt's.

There is singular irrepressibility
about Sarah Bernhardt. Her name
is constantly gliding off the tip of
the pen of the ready writer. People
imagine that the reception that the
divine Donna Sol received at Havre
was unparalleled. Not at all; the
famous Mile. de Saint HUBERT, of
the Opera, had still greater triumphs.
In 1885 Mile. de Saint Huherti left
the Opera after a quarrel with her
manager, just as Sarah left the Fran
Gals last year. She went 10 Marseil-
las and gave twenty three perform
ances, which terminated with an
aquatic fete. Mile. de Saint Huber
ii was dressed on that day a la
oracque. She arrived at the scene
of the fete in an eight cared gondola,
bearing the flag of the town of Mar
settles. The water was black with
boats; there were fireworks and
salvos of artillery. Then, after the
aquatic fete, there was tournament
on shore, and the people danced
around Mile. de Saint HUBERT to the
sound of tamborines and galoulets,
while she reclining on kind ofdivan
received like queen the homage of
the spectators. Afterwards she was
taken to a mansion de plaisance,
where a piece was performed which
had been written in honor of this
divinity of the opera by provirc ial
poet. After the ball which followed
this piece. Mile. de Saint HUBERT
was placed on dias between Mel
pomene and Polymnia. Finally
there was a splendid supper of so
covers, into which the people crowd
ed to see the heroine, and the fete
ended amid fireworks, salvos Of ar
tillery and general enthusiasm.
