Dunham, the Murderer.

Geo. MO. Dunham, the condemned
murderer of Mrs. Barbara Handle,
awaiting execution of the death SEN
tence in the Woodbury. prison on the
26th inst, has grown very restless
during the past three days, owing, it
is thought, to the liberating of two or
three prisoners, who have been in the
prison with him from his first incar-
ceration. Since their release he has
maintained more dissatisfied manner,
and, as said by a prison official,
seemed to think he ought to be
liberated also.'' 1-5
No one is allowed to go in to see
him, not even his family or his former
spiritual advisers, unless he expresses
a desire to see them, which he has not
done for sp.ne, tiue. a..s s5s4os5 s9lliS.g in !,
When asked by Sheriff Ridgway
whether he desired to see Rev. Mr..
Dillon or Rev. Mr.. Lippincott, both of
whom visited him for some time pre-
vious to being respited, Dunham
replied that he did not think they
could do him any good.
The Sheriff took in some Sunday
School song books by request of the
other prisoners, and Dunham joins in
and sings with animation every time
they start any familiar tune. Those
who are permitted to visit Dunham
say they believe that he anticipates
that he will either be, pardoned or
have his sentence commuted to life
imprisonment, and that be does not
think he will be hanged. arsNH

Gut With a Hatchet.

Saturday night Frank Pugh and two
other members of the crew Of the
David p. Mulford," came to this city
from Greenwich, where the boat was
lying, and returned yesterday after
noon considerably the worse for liquor.
They boarded the boat at the wharf
and shortly after Pugh became involv-
ed in o quarrel with the Captain of
the boat, John Moncreif The remand
er of the story is best told in tie words
OF bystandAr: Frank was pretty we'll
soaked with rum and was decidedly
quarrelsome. He had some words
with Captain Moncreif and shortly
afterward grabbed him by the neck,
throwing him to the deck. He was
Ssqueezing@ the Captains windpipe
pretty hard and the Captain didn't
know but that Frank would kill him.
A small hatchet lay within reach of
the Captain, and as last resort the
choking man grabbed it and gave
Pugh pretty severe cut in the back
of the head and for time the blood
flowed freely. Doctor Snyder was cal
led and dressed the wound, which he
considered quite serious"
Captain Moncreif, on the other hand
says that he did not cut Pugh, and
that his head was cut while both fell
on the deck. There has been no ar
rest since the unfortunate occurrence,
and probably will not be. Pugh is a
bad man when under the influence,
and has served sentence in the
County Jail.

Obituary.

! Obituary.
| Died, at New Orleans, on Monday
March Goth, 1885, j. Oscar Nixon, ESQ.
According to the Picayune, 'he was
one of the brightest lights of the legal
profession, and an honored and valued
citizen, possessing the noblest traits
that adorn poor humanity"
Mr.. Nixon was the son of Colonel
j. 0. Nixon, brother of Mr.. VIM. G.
Nixon, of this city, and was born in
New Orleans, in 1s49. He was associa-
ted in the practice of the law with ex-
Senator b. F. Jonas, under the title of
Jonas & Nixon. The paper referred
to above, also says in well written
and lengthy obituary of the deceased:
'As Il lawyer, Mr.. Nixon displayed
indefatigable industry and remarkable
brightness. He possessed sound
legal Judgment, was a safe counsellor
and one who appearing before the
Court, understood his case, and was
thoroughly prepared for its effective
presentation. He consequently en-
joyed very large practice. In man
ner, word and action, he was the in
carnation of courtesy and kindness.
He will be remembered with no COM
mon interest and affection.
Mr. NiXon's mother, who survives
him, is a granddaughter of the late
Gen. James Giles, of Bridgeton, and
he leaves widow, together with four
children, to mourn his untimely loss.

known that all of their money and
valuables were secrcted in an iron

night during the blizzard the house
was broken open, the chest taken to
the first story, broken open and robbed
of its treasures, including $500 in
money, two bonds and mortgages,
some jewelry, and other valuables. On

Disastrous Runaway.

Saturday afternoon, shortly before

George Willis, the expressman, was
standing in front of the Central Row
stores on Commerce street, when it
took fright at something and ran away.
1t tore down Commerce street at a ter
rible rate, narrowly escaping collisions
with wagons along the roadway sew
eral times. 1t finally struck one
wagon, but did little damage, and con-
front of the store of D. P. Milford &
Son, near the bridge, were two horses
of Rollo Vim, who lives on the out
skirts of the town. Seated ell alone in
the was his little girl The horse was
madly running, and in some way the
reins caught and pulled the horse
toward the wagon of Mr. Winn A
shout of horror went up from the by
ISLANDERS, and before anything could
be done, the runaway collided, over
turning the wagon. throwing both
horses, and the little one in the street
A man standing near, seeing the COL
lision inevitably, covered his face with
his hands, saying he thought it impos-
sible for the little one to escape being
crushed to death. Judge of the sur
prise of the terror stricken crowd when
the little girl crawled out of the debris
and said in her childlike way: II don't
know how | got out of the wagon,
didn't jump" The runaway was finally
caught without further damage. 1t
was exceedingly fortunate that no
more injury was done, as the streets
at that time were lined with carriages.
