PRYoR's CRITICISM OF JUDGE DENNGAN.


OPINION OF A PROMINENT NEw-YoRK LAWYER
THt ANSWER TO THE JURY A PROPER ONE.
The criticism of Roger A. Pryor upon the
action OF Judge DENIM in the ODOnne trial. published
In Yesterdays TRIBUNE called TO the attention Of
OF the lawyers greatest reputation in criminal In
the city yesterday He asked il he agreed with Gen

Denman when they asked him whether. in the case of
a man who had deadly weapon Ia his hand and was
shot by another thought he about to it,
the crime would be mdnsaughter or murder The lawyer
said in reply:
"What Judge Denman actually did say as shown by
the verbatim reports in the London newspapers,
'The question put you is this Where Is the evidence

for the future by the announcement that
number of mills had closed down, owing to
lack of orders and general unsatisfactory
condition of the iron trade.
A RECENT fire at Philadelphia DESTROYED
the American Line of Steamships Com
pany's wharves. The piers were enclosed
by large frame buildings, and the lower
floors were used for storage of freight, and
the upper stories as a temporary home for
emigrants. Thousands of dollars worth of
goods awaiting shipment on the steamer
Lord Give were swept away. Loss 100000.
The steamer Will Kyle, en- route from
New Orleans to Cincinnati, struck a pro-
truding log while making a landing at
Australia, Miss, recently and sunk. Her
cargo consisted of four hundred tons, prin-
clpally of sugar and molasses. She was
towing barge containing five hundred
bales of cotton, which was damaged.
JAMES DOBSON has been held to bail for
issuing fraudulent tax receipts on election

Mexican policeman.
GREAT excitement was caused at Wheel

A REIGN OF TERROR.
A Fiend Loose in New Mexican Town.
"A Desperate with Seven Lives to Account
FOr-The Bird Gagged.


SOCORRO, N. NJ, Nov. II. !
This town has been in a state of excite
ment for a week, when at any hour the
worst phase of Western life might be ex-
pected. Joel Fowler, man who has killed
seven of his fellow-beings and gone unpun-
lshed, has at last been brought to justice.
he sold his cattle ranch last week for $685.
500 cash and with his friends took in the
town. In liquor he is a very demon, and it
was not long before, revolver in hand, he
terrOriZed the town. At last toward morn
ing he went to a hotel and proceeded to
make every one he met dance or sing. A
friend named Cole and two others tried to
disarm him, and in so doing he drew a knife
and stabbed him to the heart. AT once the
people became infuriated, and there was
every indication that lynching would fol-
low. The prominent citizens organized
into a committee and guarded the Jail. A
strange state of circumstances arose:
There was one party of men who were sus-
pected of an attempt to release the culprit;
second that were anxious to lynch
him, and the third, which prevailed,
to protect him in fair trial. Fowler was
examined before Justice Beal and bound
over without bail for his appearance next
Monday before the Grand Jury.
A new warrant was served on Fowler and
his cousin John Barns last Monday charg-
ing them with the murder of Pony Deal and
Butcherknife Bill two months ago at Alamo
ranch. Witnesses were brought in to-day,
whose testimony shows that this was one of
the most cOld-blOoded murders ever COM
mitted in this countrJ- of desperate crimes.
The circumstances will be developed to-
morrow in the examination before the JUS
tice. This last warrant broke the firmness
of Fowler. Last night in Jail, he wept like
a child, even prayed and called for a re-
volver that he might commit self-destruc-
tion.
The city has been placed under martial
law by the Governor to prevent disorder,
but the public mind is at Ieve: heat and ap-
prehension is alive lest scenes of blood
shed transpire.
Fowler is a small man but as strong as q
giant. His instinct Is to kill. While in
White Oaks three years ago he killed three
men. He murdered one at Georgetown two
years ago. In August last he killed two
men at Alamo ranch. His skill in handling
weapons is marvellous. Il was seldom he |
drank, but on such occasions he became a |
very fiend.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. IA.
The British steamship Silverton left her
wharf this morning for Liverpool with 10,-
61S bales of cotton, q, LIS bushels of corn,
BOO tons of oil cake and 1900 slaves. At
the time of sailing her draft was twenty

TESTIMONY in the Proteus inquiry
tends to show that Lieutenant Darlington
obeyed his instructions to the letter. Lieu
tenant Caldwell, of the Navy, testified on
the 10th that the equipment of the Proteus
was miserable-her boilers defective and
boats unseaworthy; in fact her owners were
about to send her away for repairs when
she was chartered by Hazen. The ships
compasses were untrustworthy, and the
Captain had no idea of their local devia-
tion. The officers of the vessel, with the
exception of Captain Pike, were young and
inexperienced in Arctic navigation. The
boats procured for Darlington from the
Brooklyn navy-yard were miserably fitted
out. The chances of the Yantic reaching
Littleton Island were not such as would
have induced witness to wait for her.
Why she was sent North at all he did not
know.
