In the tbirty.eighth year OF his age and
the eighth OF bis imprisonment, Joseph
alias s.Reddyv Diiman, an able thief and
successful .sfencc." died yesterday In the
Eastern penitentiary, after protesting his
innocence and directing that proper care
be taken OF bis body by an expensive un-
dertaker.
Dtman had been sheriff in Virginia.
IL Philadelphia he kept thieves resort nj
Ninth and Aurora streets. For years
freddy" held sway there over the worst
thieves In the city. Many were the rob-
ter'es planned there and great the proceeds
brought baa to the den. Sometimes
member OF Reddy's gang was caught, but
none OF them ever peached, and he went
scot free until, as jury believed. he took
hand in the executive branch OF the Dusi-
ness.
There were two old maiden ladies who
lived along with lot OF ancestral silver IN
a house near West Chester. Reddy in-
spected the place and saw that 10 was
good one for his purposes. \ few nights
thereafter the old ladies awaked to ind
masked man guarding them with TWO re-
yoIyers, while two otherslooted the house.
They brought their case TO the city author
tiles and Detective Houser was put on II.
He picked up freddy" and two OF hls
cronies named "Josh" Mulby and Martin
Lafferty. The old ladies identified the trio
and they got thirty years equally divided
between them. Mulby was afterwards
pardoned and has been stealing ever since,
having Just completed a ninety-day term
as a professional thief.
Lafferty Is still in prison. Consumption
relieved Ditman. II Is still thought by
those OF his co-laborels who are at large
that he was the only one OF the party who
was guilty. He said when he died that
iellow-prisoner, who is confined for another
offence, had acknowledged TO him particl.

thought last night that this might be odd J"
LYMAN, who was arrested at the time OF
the robbery, but could not be identified
Freddy" gained his SOubriquet from a

spectacle people, live in Virginia. His
brother, an honest man, will come on from
his home in Jersey City to-day to bury the
dead thief. The latter sent for fashiona-
BILE undertaken in November. 1882. and
then gave directions for elaborate ob.equies
when the end that he expected should come.
The SINISTER glories OF his place have de-
parted. II is now an inoffensiye bakery.

An Excoriation.

The New York Graphic Is an indepen-

CLEVELAND. whereas four years ago II was
an independent Republican journal, and
supported GARFIELD. IL does not mince
It's words IN commenting upon LoGAN's
letter OF acceptance. The criticism Is very
severe, but IT is lust. The Graphic says ::
THE LoGAN'DocUMENT.- Such slight por.
tons OF John a. Logan's letter OF accept
ance rs are not devoted to falacy are given
up 20 falsehOod. 10 is a yiciOns letter. the
production OF a snail mind, and il neutral
izes whatever Of good 10 the Republican
ticket NAV have been accomplished by the
more liberal and the manly document sent
out hy Mr. Blaine.
The more important portion OF the letter,
after an endorsement OF Mr.. Blaine's for
eign policy, relates TO equal rights and
southern outrages. The reader has proba-
bly heard the terms before. He has hoped
not to hear them again eYceptat rare inter-
walls. The Illinois Senator, howeyer-the
gentleman who at the opening OF the war
proposed TO drive South every black man
thst came into Illinois as an escaped
slave-proposes TO make them lead
ing part OF the campaign. He repeats
the old falsehood that the minority
rule The majority OF the South, and he pro-
poses that something " beyond resolutions"
shall be done to secure what he calls fair
elections. He speaks patheticaly CT the
"fear and trembling" TO which the BUSH
ness interests OF the country are subjected
during every national election. and he pro-
poses-his words can have no other mean
ing-to regulate southern elections st the
point OF The bayOnet, as during the more
pronounced ascendency OF the sectional
party TO which he belongs. Here, GER
iainly, is an issue that has not been con-
tempIated and one Of the highest impor-
lance. The question appears TO be whether
the Republican party shall rule by virtue
Of the bayonet or the Democratic party by
virtue Of the ballot. II is war issue re-
yived. II is gwen new and unexpected
life.
Blaine contcmplatcs the peaceful capture
OF several southern States. General Logan
proposes TO ALLEVIATE such southern SYM
patty as might have been secured, and TO
the imminent danger Of the ticket, for GER
tainly he doesn't expect to use his bayOnet
at the southern polls this year. The Logan
letter, in brief. is as stupid az II is vicious,
and the writer is not only blunderer but
a hypocrite and a vendor OF stale falsehOOd
and ancient prejudice.

RevoItig Scenes ALLEGED 10 Have Occurred
In Lougview Asylum.

A tcegram from Cincinnati, o., says
william II. Thompson, formerly an inmate
Of the Iongyiew Lunaiic Asylum, situated
ten mits north OF Cincinnati, gives details
OF crud treatment to inmates which came
under his observation. One OF these
instances OF cruelty he relates rs follows:
"0 February 4, 1882, two OF the at
PENDANTS, Smith and Samuel Prouse, at
tackled an inmate named Fisher, a harmless
lunatic, who would talk and sing and fan
cIed be was king. They threw him on
the hard floor, and Smith kicked him in the
side with double-soled boots. Prouse also
beat and kicked him. These acts were re-
peated in the forenoon and afternoon OF
that day. and they then locked Fisher in
the dark room for three hours. The 9Th
was Sunday, and Fisher was not molested.
On Monday the same treatment occurred a.
on Saturday. On the 9th, when Smith told
Fisher dinner was ready, the latter said he
was sick, and could not eat. When came
up from dinner Fisher was bent over
chair and was pleading for relief in great
agony"
Thompson says that Fisher died, evil

eral other similar cases OF attendants knock
