May 19 —Sfcs republics tion here of a story from ItteBoeSon Herald in which It Is asserted that a criminal has (ion fessed that he committed a murder in this c:ty for which an innccent man waa hanged, caused something of a sensation The crimt which is thus revived was the murder, 16 years ago, of Mary Xohrman, a brigh! little girl ft 1 years, whose corpse was found in a sack .vhich had been sank in a pond. John Hani on, a barber living near the Mohrmans, was convicted mainly on the testimony of a fallow-prisoner while in Moyamensing prison, of having murdered the child, after having subjected her to th« grossest indignities, and he was executed loi the supposed crime. The Boston paper gives what purports to be the confession of a """» (whose name is withheld) that he murdered Mary* Mohrand that was wholly innooent at any share in the crime. The alleged confession has been, according to- The Herald's statement, mode to a companion of the murderer, and the names and evidences of the truth of the story are said to be in possession of the Boston paper. The murder was a mysterious one and for some time there was no clew to the murderer, and although $1,000 reward was offered no arrests were made. Fid ally a detective who had shadowed Hanlon caused his arrest, and he was placed in a cell with an English con vict who, as he testified, obtained from him a confession that he killed the girl. Hanlon protested his innocence to the last Ex-Attornoy General Brewster, who defended him, said that during the trial he was convinced of Hanlon's innocence. Great interest is manifested to know who the mysterious personage is who now confesses himself guilty of the almost forgotten crime. EXPERTS IDENTIFY HIS HANDWRITING IN SEVERAL INSTANCES.

London, May 10.—The Old BaUey court room was crowded on the last day of the dynamiters' trial with the largest audience that has boon attracted since the case opened. There were several ladies amonj the spectators:, The new United States minister, Mr. Phelps, occupied a post of honor on the Loach at tho right of Sir Henry Hawkins, and opposite a big bouquet of flowers that was sent to the minister after he was seated by an admirer of America. Mr. Phelps was perhaps the mo6t attentive listener to all the proceedings of the day that there was in the courtroom. Although present unofficially, It was evident that he was critically watching tho case, in view of the many International questions of which Irish-Americans are the cause whieh will inevitably demand his attention In his official capacity. He followed the four hours' address to the jury with the deepest attention, but his count® nance and manner, which were far more impassive and judicial than those of the judge, gave no hint as to whether his impression was favorable or the reverse. New York, May 19.—John Roach went aboard the steel cruiser Dolphin shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday morning f—Ung in tho very best of spirits. He came ashore at 8 o'clock in the evening feeling precisely the Reverse, and insisting that be was cue of the most unlucky mortals on earth. Xt was the day appointed by Secretary Whitney, of the navy department, for another trial of the Dolphin. It was just upon the rock of acceptance that she has struck so hard and seems destined to go to piecetv The conditions of approval required that the vessel Khali show an indicated horse power of 8,300 for six consecutive hours, and yesterday, for the fourth time, the craft set out to do this task and for the fourth time failed. *1 en the Bouse met this evening, Mr ■ Avoysentto the clerk's desk and bad iir| C"D article published in the Philadelphia ■K°rd yesterday, charging Mr. UcAvoy and r. b cNutt with bribery in oonnecilon with ne distribution of House officers. He also »d read amid a good deal of amusement, an Jitorial In the same psper in th's morning's ,n coanection with tbe matter. Mr. oAvry then said "X wish to state that tbe aic)« is untrue. I never had at any time, v coney belonging to any person, that I refused to pay or wrongfully withheld hi fuch person. I leave the whole matter ' h» hands of the House.

Again, to protect tho u an against whom tho chargi was brought while hb case is in tbe court?, final action in the matter has not yet beet taken by tho board. Incidentally two witnesses admitted haying boen approached with Improper proposals by a former employe of the board, but denied solemnly ever bavin"- «coed id to them. Their testimony, however, further in the same direction was such as tc make their charges inadmissible, unless supported by corroborative evidence. Gov. Robinson is in possession of full knowledge of tho matter. Forty expert counters, and as many clerks, who kept tbe records, were steadily at work nearly three weeks counting the paper money, eta, and a dozen clerks an! as many laborers wero hard at work for a week or ten days counting the gold and silver coin in the vaults. Some idea of what is involved in a treasury count may be gained by a mere statement of the vast sums of money bandied, counted, and verified in this recent count. Tho specie handled aggregated nearly $12,000,000, about 0/000,000 silver dollars, and 500,000 minor silver coins, and 2,600,000 in value of gold coin. The silver coin weighed about 270 tons, end the gold ooin about 4D£ tans. This hard money, strictly spooking, was not counted but weighed. Tho silver dollars, when originally placed in the vaults, wero put in bags, each containing $1,000, coin and bag weighing SOW' pounds; tho gold was in bags containing $5,000, each bag and gold weighing pounds. Ar actual Count by piece was only made of a few bag3 on the start, to ascertain the proper and exact weight of a bog of $1,000 in silver and $5,0i)0 in gold, and afterwards of such bags as were not satisi'actcVy in weight. Bjt very few bags, either of the silver or gold, fell short of the standard weight, and in such instances, actual count showed the required number of coins, but with &,few of them sufficiently abraded to account for the deficiency in tho weight of tbe bags and contents. When the last bag was weighed and the record footed up, not a dollar, not a cent was missing, So the committee report, and so Treasurer Jordan may feel certain his predecessor, Mr. Wyman, has turned over to him every dollar of hard money that the latter claimed was in the vaults hore on Apri 30„ Promptly at the appointed hour 6 in the morning the three members of the last and supervising board, Capt. Belknap, Commander Evans and Mr. Herman Wintars, were on deck. Mr. Roach, accompanied by his three sons, John D., Garrett and Stephen, Mr. Henry Steers, of the old advisory board, under whoee direction, the veeaol was carried forward, also formed one of the day's list of guests. As before, the newspaper men were most rigorously excluded and as before the vessel was manned by a specially selected crew of expert stokers, oilers, firemen, etc., to the number of 40. The supply of the beat semi-bituminous coal which the market afforded had been replenished in the bunkers, and of carefully strained castor oil there was a barrel or more ready to lubricate the many bearings of the machinery. We nil know," mid Mr. Farber, of Lack*- u'i» s, "that it is a simple thing to get ap "Bdemn any man in the papers, and r* •■'""■be in favor of having a committee ap• d to investigate the matter, aid of • resolution to have gome of the' pa' rstructed not to publish slanders on nemlers." (Laughter.) The matter wis ■hen dropped. Tl'® Foreign Insurance bill waa f rncamnit ted. Judge Crump, of the defense, here asked that the evidence of the last wltneei b" stricken from the record, as the movements of the deceased were irrelevant. Mr. Meredith, of the prosecution, opposed the motion because he wanted to show that it was only the prisoner who coo Id have deceived the deceased or who had an opportunity to do so. The court denied the motion and an exception was not9d. D. C. Richardson, a polioe justice of Richmond, bad received from Bath county a trunk and a bag containing clothing, letters and otber articles, among them a number of envelouss. He removed all the fetters and envelope; and kept tliem in his possession ni»til he turned them over to the commonwealth.Sir Henry Hawkins' summing up of the case was a masterly piece of legal analysis and net weaving. He hardly glanced at Lis notes, and spoke with rapid vehemence. Both the prisoners hung intently on every word of the charge, and neither of them removed his gaze for a moment from the judge's face. Once Burton half arose from us soat as if to interrupt the judge, but he was quickly end easily restrained by the wardens. Church Members Did Mot Object to Wabhutqton, May 18.—Both Dr. Sunder- Uiwii pastor of tho church which President Cleveland attends, and Fred Douglas deny the truth of the published report that ther* was i disturbance at the church on account of tie presence of Mr. Douglas. Dr. SuniLerlaiid says the report is entirely unwainuited, and expresses surprise and indignation that snch gross misrepresentations shonld be given publicity. There was no distwb&nce he says, and further than this, Douglas does not own a pew in the church. Mr, Douglas when shown the statement read it and said: "I strayed into the church because some relatives here on a visit wanted to fcttend the president's church. I wen* to that church as I do to some other churches, and there was no sensation area ted that I am aware of by my presence. It w quit* true that 18 years ago some of the members of Dr. Sunderland's church did take offense at my being allowed to deliver a lecture in it on the 'Assassination of Mr. Lincoln and Its Le«ons.' I there spoke to a verjrl»rge congregation, and was introduced by Chief Justice Chase. I learned afterward that some members of Dr. Sunderland's church took offense at my being permitted to speak in their church. I went oft and until Sunday have never since ventured within its walls. I have purposely kept away because I did not wish to embarass a bravo and good man by causing further trouble in his church by any word of mine or by |ny presence. Fred Douglas. The bill appropriating $6,009 for the Temtorary Hospital at Plymouth was made a ■pedal order oa third reading for Wedaeadnr SUICIDE OF A NUN. She Kscapea from a Coaveat and Kills Mr. Hillings, of Venungo, offered a resolu:oa revoking the order fixing a specified hour for ihe adjournment of the daily session. He ffertd the resolution, he said, to meet: the ivident intention to filibuster sad preveat ••mnideratian of certain biUs in eider that a anjority of the House might control its legis"ttion, and in order to prevent a minority from 'H"g so. During the short interval between the retirement and the return of the Jury the prisoners sat with faces averted from eaph other and, as much as possible, from the spectators, who utilised this occasion to get a good look at the "dynamite fiends." Some of the ladies were provided with opera glasses through which they cloaely scrutinized the prisoners. The general opinion was that they looked far more despondent than fiendish. Milwaukee, Hay 18. — At 7:30 a woman, partly disrobed, jumped off the Buffalo street bridge, and despite the efforts of several parsons was drowned. The body waa taken to the mofgue, where it was recognized by Mrs. John Winter as that of Mar tilda Averbeck, a young woman whom she saw for the first time on Saturday. Mrs. Winter says that she first met the girl, dressed in nun's costume, at the market on Saturday; that she said she had been in a convent for a year, bat had run away. She said also that she wanted a place to work. Mrs. Winter took her home, and loaned her a hat and dress, keeping her nun's clothes for her. While at the house, the girl wrote a latter to Albert Averbeck, her father, at Washington, Mo., asking him to sand her ISO. Site afterward went away to look for work, and the next her benefactress knaw of her was when she recognised the body in the morgue. HaiMlC. The vessel seemed unruly tram the start, and in getting her head turned up. stream the pilot seemed to hare no small vglffictdty, and at one time it looked as though the( first performance of this atom of the United States navy of the future was to be the stalking of an inoffensive mud scow. „ - Luckily, however, Pilot Bell .got the Dolphin under control, and at last she warf traveling in a quiet fashion away towards Hell Gate. There was little enjoyment at the scenery along shore in the bright May morning. The committee were watcmng the engine, assisted by Engineers Kfarated and Thomson, who had come on from IJJhilbdelphia especially to take off the diagrapis from which the horsepower is calculated, .and to assist as experts in seeing that the cr«w and corps of workmen about the englnfe and boiler did not do anything of a queer, adrt in ■malting a showing of steam and of power There was to be no holding up of the' — gauge by throwing in any extra combustibles, nor was there to be any coanng of journals with the nozzle of a hose «and a stream of water from as ice tank. Ilia test was carried on under the most rigorous supervision.'I be witness was here shown a letter and a piece ot written poetry, which he said had been found at the bottom of the trunk under all the clothing and under a newspaper spread on the bottom. He identified both. The witness said he had taken out all the papers in the trunk, which was opened is the presence of an officer of this court and the father of the deoeased. He had taken out in all about 100 articles, including 85 or 80 photographs. He had examined and read overv paper in the trunk. Witness identified several large sealed envelopes containing letters and the watch and chain and other articles found an the prisoner when be waa arrested. W. B. Quarles, banker and broker, was next sworn. He said he had been connected with banks for twenty years; did not testify 0m » professional expert; bad seen the prisoner's handwriting, having bad business transactions with him in which his writing was necessary. The piece of poetry found in the trunk (which is of the most offensive character) was oriticallv examined by the witness, and be found that the writing on It and that on the postal card, which the defense had admitted as the prisoner's writing, were alike. The general appearance of the writing on both was about the same, and he had no doubt they were written by the same person. The press was blaming the Republican Dariy for allowing legislation to be delayed, ''he only way to remedy this was for that •any to throw down the gauntlet and say •haC the majority would stay here aa long aa be minority wished. Mr.- Schatterly, of Fayette, saw no reason why the resolution should be adopted. He (id not think that the gentlemen representing i two third majority should attempt to ignore •1 parliamentary rules and laws for the purine of accomplishing what he might deeire. "here waa ao unnecessary filibustering oh the "trt of the Democratic party in the H"»m Cbo party stood ready to facilitate necessary 'gislation, and waa not tenaclona as to the me of laal adjournment The resolution was agreed to—yeas, M: nay*, 30. The Anthracite Miae Law bill waa reooanitted. After passing a number of bills on •©ootid reading the Houae adjourned. When the verdict was announced Cunningbarn's face was unchanged, and it was only by his nervous clutching at the rail of the dock that close observers discovered any signs of emotion. Burton's face flushed for an instant and then turned very pale. He trembled visibly as he stood in the dock looking, as directed, upon the jurors, and seemed completely dazed until the prisoners v. cro called upon to say why sentenoo should Hut be passed upon them. Cunningham was the first to speak. His voice was flat but steady and betrayed a curious mixture of Irish and American accents. He spoke without passim, and even li s defiant conclusion was uttered by rote as t'ucCugh he were repeating a well conned lesion. Burton's speech was faltering and disjointed, but be made some attempt to be sarcastic, and his concluding words were an ellort at defiance. Piece by piece, and each and every package found intact and correct, and the aggregate in Bornti instances running up into the millions, was found to correspond exactly with the records of the books in the reserve, loan and redemption divisions, and in the cashier's room in the treasurer's office. CHOLERA'S AWFUL REIGN. The suicide of the sister oaneed quite a sensation in Catholic circles. She escaped from tbs convent a week ago tyr jumping from a window. No cause is aaignort, but a strict investigation will be made by the coroner. The young woman had been aa inmate of tbe convent for two years. Its Frightful ltavages In Spain—The Government Suppressing FnrW. London, May 19.—The epidemic of Asiatic cholera which first appeared at Saa Felipe do Jatlra, Spain, last winter still exists in 20 to was In Sie provinces of Valencia and Alicante. This fact is admitted on ail hands, but the reports of the foarful proportion of deaths to the number of persons attacked cannot be verfled or disproved, owing to the rigorous censorship of the press which has been re-established by the government. Both the officials and the doctors declared for weeks after the outbreak at Jiitiva that the disease was not cholera. During the first week of April, however, its spread became so alarming that further concealment was iKDpossiblq, and the government officially warned the provincial authorities throughout the kingdom and took other steps to isolate the diseaat. These measures caused France, Holland and Portugal to de clare quarantine against Spanish vessels and the officials are now trying to undo the effect of their former admission by concealing as far as possible every unfavorable fact. They have also spread glowing accounts of the snocess of Dr. Ferran's new system of microbic inoculation as a preventative, but these accounts are now known to have been much overdrawn. Dr. Ferran has inoculated several thousand persons and comparatively few of them have been attacked or killed by cholera, but the subjects wore generally selected from the better classes of the poople who by their cleanliness, regularity of habits and exemption from exhausting labor in the rice fields and elsewheiV, were normally less susceptible to infection and less liable to succumb if attacked, than the bulk of the peasantry. Medical men here are indisposed to credit the efficacy of Dr. Ferran's discovery and prefer to await; the report of the government commission which is to bj sent from London to investigate. Execution Rock was reached with ,no special incident, and the oft-given ordpr)to put the engines at their best speed, arid'in answer to the jingle-bell the throttle -was opened full, while the extra platoom of stokers began their work of getting the very best possible showing out of tty boilers. The machinery had hardly got 'fat" fen swing before it was plain that than waaUxD be another fiasco, and that thecondi tlon ;of six hours' top speed work from' new engines was .to lead to its natural rezolt,ta heating up of the bearings at some point or another The old pin cm the crank below, the k high pressure cylinder, which had beeattuta&iy on the trip of Tuesday last, was  it bad boon so carefully buruishirf that It bad. taken on a fine glaze, similar,! to that seen on an old-time machine. Superintendent Rodman noticed that d» after crank pin was showing signs of heating. His face told that something was wrong, even before he had nodded toward the place of trouble and given a grunt of disgust. A few diagrams of the stroke and preasure had been taken off of the working engine, but very soon all hands were gathered about the weak spot The supervising hoard looked oalm and critical Mr.  about in his most lively style, and when it was plain that to keep up the pace was sore to lead to a ruining the brasses the order was given to slacken speed and the trial was over. About an hours nua had heeoeaken, much of it forced, but it waa clear thatf the machinery was not in condition to go through the six hours' test, and soon 4 the Dolphin waa onoe more an anchored/fixture in the Sound and men were busy Unscrewing the hot straps and pulling outlthe smok ing packing. The rapervising beard had nothing more to do, and gathered an deck to enjoy the keen fresh air and wonder when, if ever, the Dolphin would be afde to do anything. Several hours were spent in repairs, while those on board enjoyed the modest lunch which had been prepared. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in running here and there over the smooth waters of the Sound and in watching the vibratory motion of stem and stern when the engines were going. Prompt and Bpeedjr Vengeance. New You, May 19.—Gen. Grant's general physical condition improved again yesterday. He reviewed aune of tbe work on his book and expects to-day to resume dictation if he feels as well as be did yesterday. "This was one of his good days," said CoL Fired Grant, "but he did not feel like going oat He may go out to-morrow, possibly, il the leather permits. His throat still continues very son." A mass of revised proof and new manuscript for the forthcoming book was taken by CaL Grant to the publishers yesterday. Gen. Grant fsellai Batter. Lynchburg, Vfc, May 19.—The fallowing are the particulars of the lynching of Terry: A party of about 40 or GO man node into Liberty about 3:90 o'clock, took Tarry from the jail and hanged him tc a tree south of and just outside of the town of Liberty. When the party arrived at the jail and demanded admittance, they misled Jailer iiell by telling him they had a prisoner. When the door was opened the party presented a pistol at Bell and demanded the keys. Bell refuse J at first to tell them where they were, but finally told them to search the room. The keys were found. The party than went up stairs into Terry's room and brought him out, anil left the jail in lees than 15 minutes. As soon as possible Ball and a friend who was with him gave the alarm, but it was without effect. The dee,i had been done, and the body of Terry was discovered hanging to the limb of a tree. The s«d affair is deeply regretted by the whole town. '1 he sentencing of the prisoners to penal servitude for.life was the work of a moment. 1. was evidently a foregone conclusion that Mr Henry Hawkins would impose the severest penalty allowed by law, and as the cbaige of h.gh treason had been dropped to avoid the scandal of a public execution it was not in t. o powei of the judge to inflict capital pumsnmenfc The prisoners and their counsel liiaid the sentence without surprise or visible emotion. A few spectators began to applaud, but w ere silenced and sternly rebuked by the judga. j.»e prisoners were removed without a show ci resistance. In Pittaton, on the 17th hist, a son of Mr. ind Mrs. H. J. Chirling, aged # years. James D. Craig, an expert bookkeeper, who is now examining th% books in the first auditor's oftoe in oonnection with irregularities there, was sworn. The letters previously produced were shown to him, and he said the writing was the same on them as cm the pbetal card admitted as written by the prisoner. He bad never read the paper.' It was a vilo and vulgar composition. He did not claim to be an expert, but be did claim to be a pretty good Judge of handwriting. ..., Mrs. J. B. Dickinson was then sworn. She said that die had lived in' Bath county all bar lite. She knew Lillian Kadiaon, who waa a teacher at the schoolhouse oo witness' (arm. Deceased came there on the 10th of October and remained till March 12, when she left. Witness was f.miiiMr with the clothing of deceased. She minutely described the red crochet shawl ■nH the hat and veil worn by Miss Madison. ahH positively identified the three a; tides shown her. W hen Miss Madison left witness' house in March sha carried a bag made of biown canvas, which, witness said, shu had made herself. Various other articles of clothing, including a pair of vrollan mittens, a bluo jersey and dresses were described by tbe witness and fully identified when shown to her as was also the canvas bag. On March 10 deceased received a letter, which witness savt before it was given to Lillian. The trunk of deceased was left locked at witness' house and so remained* until sent t6 Richmond. Witness saw tho directions on the envelops of the letter received by Lillian March 10.-- The envelope was white! Witness thought she laH seen the same handwriting before on letters reoeivad by Lillian. A number of envelopes wars hare shown to the witness, who said the handwriting on them was very much like that on the latter of tbe 10th of March. Boon after tbe last mentioned lettar was received, Lillian came to witness with the letter and handed it to her, and she read a part of it. Witness said she could identify the letter. It was handed to her, and, after reading1 it, she said it was the same letter. It was on account of this letter that Lillian left witness' home to go to Richmond. Born. To Mr. and Mrs. JF. H.

Grant's throat, he may die of another riles—e after all," said a physician to a World reporter. "The fact that-he is suffering from trouble of tbe heart has been carefully kept secret by his attending physicians so as not to cause him additional worry. When his condition was so low a few weeks ago this heart disease was as much feared as the cancer, if not more. You will find, if you investigate the matter, that the medicines given him were those made use of in -troubles of the heart. The can oar to necessarily fatal, bat it may be a long time before it reaches a vital spot, and in that case he may succumb to his other malady.

Concord, N.

About tea days ago, however, an error w»i found in their reckoning, which postponed the event to Kay 1, 1886. Elder Locke has no faith in modern shurohee or _ pastors, and confidanUy intimates that he could "dp up" the smartest of any of the latter before any audience that could be got together.
