CROWDED, PACKED, JAMMED During the talk on the subject of a respite, Attorney General Kirkpatrick intimated very strongly his opposition to interference with the execution of the death warrant on the 10th instant, by deolaring that the plea of insanity raised so long after the murder of Michael Reilly, was a very significant circumstance. The District Attorney declined to unite withoounsel for the prisoner requesting another respite, and the board went into secret session for the consideration of the case and that of Samuel Johnston, the murderer of John Sharpless, of Delaware county. The prayers of both murdeaers were refused, and they will be executed on the 10th inst.

Though of alight bnild, she is aa wiry ae a wreetler and aa bold aa a lion. At an early honr this morning die wae preparing to retire when the barkeeper, who had gone to hie room, oame running down stairs with the startling Information that there wae a man under his bed.

Ae she reached the bar-keepers room she wae met by a powerful man. The latter evidently anticipated no trouble, and was about to pass by her, when lb*. Buokholtz stepped back and before the intruder oonld raise his arm to defend himself, she bronght down the cake-tnrner on the top of his oranium. The blow was a hard one, and the fellow for a moment wae stnnned, the blood etreaming down his face. By the time he recovered Mr. Buckholtz oame to hie wife's aid, and the pair succeeded in overpowering the burly intruder. Meanwhile the barkeeper bad made good nse of bis time. He ran out and called iu a polioeman, who took the man in CMtody. A Horrible Family Tragedy. New Orleans, Nov. 2.—A fatal affray at a negro oburcli is reported from West Felioina parish. Following a custom in vogu e among plantation negroes in portions of the South, two members of the congregation exohanged wives two years ago. The bargain did not prove satisfactory and quarrels arose among the members of the much-mixed families, whioh gradually involved nearly the entire congregation. It was decided a few days ago by the parties involved to meet at the church and settle all difficulties by a general fist fight. A large number were present at the appointed time, but the conditions upon which the fight was arranged were not observed. As soon as the parties came together knives and pistols were drawn and a bloody riot followed, the result of which was that Edmund Turner and Gibson Clark, the principals, were killed outright, and Jamea Stowburg was severely if not fatally wounded. Israel Davis, William Jordan and James Williams are under arrest charged with murder, and warrants are out for other participants in the riot. Washington, Nov. 2.—Though It wm a general impression that the Supreme Court would not before to-morrow render its decision on the application for a writ of error in the case of the Chicago AnarchiaU,the court room was crowded long before the assembling of the court at 12 o'clock to-day and many stood outside in the corridor. The audience was mainly composed of the middle class of citizens and curious visitors. Chief Justice Waite began reading the decision in a monotonous, indistinct tone, almost aa soon as the crier had finishod his early English adjuration. The reading occupied a little over half an hour, and during its progress the court room was so quiet that the least whisper attracted attention to the whisperer. At the close there was no demonstration, except the rush of newspaper correspondents for the telegraph and telephone instruments to send bulletins and telegrams to their papers, notifying them that the decision was unfavorable to the prisoners. The first news of the decision of tho Supreme Court was taken to the county jail ia Chicago by an Associated Press reporter a few minutes after it had been received from Washington. Jailer Folsom was seated in his otlU-e, tipped back in his chair and about to light his cigar. When the reporter told him the news he deliberately struck a match, lit his cigar and said : "Well, it is just what we expected." There were no visitors at the jail today, and all the prisoners were in their cells when tho news arrivod. ▲ note was sent to Spies, telling him that the writ had been denied, and asking if he had any statement to mako in regard to the matter. Spies was sitting in his cell busily engaged with somo manuscript. He read the note and returned a short "I have nothing to say." None of the other men would say anything, either. Everything is perfoctly'quiet in and around the jail, and, in fact, all over tho city. Tho denial of the writ was what was univerally expected here. "TJAJKIEL RASIEY, A TTORNE Y-A T-LA W 1307 Fst.

The coupliug pin whioh he held in hia hand was driven completely through his body, making a hole through whioh could be seen daylight, and exposing the heart. His injuries are such that be cannot live. Hia agony was so iutense that it was impossible for him to lie still, In consequence of which he got up and walked about. PmrrauTAwraT, Pa.

Cleveland, November 2.—A terrible tragedy occurred in Spencer township, Medina county, last night. Two weak minded daughters of Farmer A. D. Garrett were found dead in their room and kerosene oil poured on the floor and a matoh applied. Garret and his wife have not lived happily, one being a widower and the other a widow before they married each other.and each having children. How the two girls met their death is a mystery. There was a braise on the forehead of ene and the ohin of the other was badly scratched. There were marks on their throats that might have been made by a rope or the fingers of a murderer. The neighbors and all those who have visited the house, seem to universally believe that Mrs. Garrett was at the bottom of the terrible tragedy. The women are dead and the fire hardly made enough smoke to Bmother them, and oould scarcely be of accidental origin. The generally aooepted theory is that Mrs. Garret made way with the victims, and then set fire to the house. Underwear Coasaptlon Cared. Indian apoul, November 2.—A telegram from Southwestern Indiana states that the White Caps are again oat, committing more outrages. The outlaws visited the honse of John Amy, in Harrison county, and in his presenoe stripped his wile perfectly nnde and administered 40 lashes, laid on hard. It is said that the county officials are thoroughly terrorized, as is shown by the fact that the oase of Charles Langford, of Mt. Prospeofc, Crawford county, was presented to the grand jury, with proofs of the identity of the men who had outraged his family, bnt they refused to present a true bill. Langford tote the masks from the faces of two of his assailants, aud recognized his nearest neighbor and deadliest enemy in one. In spite of this, he oonld not induce any prosecution by the court, wbioh feared the vengeanoe of his assailants. I am expected to make' a campaign 1 speech, but I oan't bring myself to speak oalmly. This is Friday, November 4, and on Friday, November 11, the greatest crime and most atrooioas murder ever perpetrated is fixed to take plaoe at Chicago. But I tell you if this crime of base murder is committed, the end will soon follow. If these heroes are hanged the days of all those concerned in the outrageous murder will be reckoned, and the day will not be far off when they will have to answer for the blood they shed by every spark of life in their worthless bodies. [Loud cheers and ories of "Kill them!" "Dynamite 1"] But let them hang. Seven men's lives will not hurt our oause. Let them kill 7,000, and ont of their graves 10,000 others will ari»e. I tell yon if these men are hanged next Friday something thousands of times worse than our late civil war will follow. We will not see it done without acting.

Columbus, November 2.—A stable at the rear of St. Patrick'* Church burned at an early hoar this morning. It bad been used as a sort of rendezvous for trampe. The firemen extinguished the flames after the structure was well burned, and found in the loft the body of a man, which was bnrned to a crisp. He had a stick in eaoh hand, as if he had been fighting the lire. The impression prevails that the ruair was killed, the body placed there, and the stable set on fire. John C. Conners, a wuil known enlisted man at the United States barracks, la missing, and it is thought the body is his. He was somewhat of a specialty performer and clog dancer.
