Lawyers and Criminals. Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 14.—Dr. Rufua W. Peacock, a prominent physician of thii city, and William Corey were arrested upon a charge of forgery. Marvin Corey, a young man who resided on Magnolia avenue, Jeraey City Height!*, died last October, having a membership in the American Legion of Honor which entitled his legal representatives to $5,000. Dr. Peacock, who is examining physician of the order, attended young Corey through his illness. When young Corey died Dr. Peacock gavo William Corey, father of the deceased, a certificate of the young man's death and told him that he (Corey) was entitled to $2,000, and the other t:i,000 was due to his son's cousin, Miss UTa WiHiatus. Corey' denied that his son had any such cousin, but upon Peaoock's taking biin ti New York and introducing him to a youftg lady by that name he seemed satisfied. He subsequently received two checks, one to his own order for $2,0(X) and one to the order of Miss Williams for 83,000. He indorsed both and received the money on them, paying to Dr. Peacock the amount, claimed by Miss Williams. About a week ago Dr. Peacock persuaded Coroy to go to Halby, Penn., and mail to himself a lettor purporting to bo from Miss Williams acknowledging the receipt of the $8,000. It appears that Dr. Peacock's wife has a niece named Eva Williams now living with her in Jei soy City. Dr. Peacock went to this nieco of his wife ana saying that lDy the death of her cousii), Marvin Corey, she was entitled to $3,000 and requosted her to sign a paper. Slio refused, as slie said she had no cousin by that name. This transaction, however, iti'Mised her suspicions and shu communicated her fears to the wife of Mr. F. W. Pnugborn, who is city editor of The Jersey City Journal, and also a member of the lodjje to which young Corey belonged at the time of his death. Mr. Fangborn investigated the matter, whicli led to the arrests of Dr. Peacock and Corey. When arrested Peacock at first admitted having received tho money ami used it for his own purposes, but subsequently he doclared that he had been duped and would say nothing further about the matter. The prisoners were held at the Gregory stroet police station for examination.Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 14.—The divorced wife of ex-Sonator Christianoy camo to a tragic end in this city. Eight weeks ago she came on a visit to No. 35 Schernierhorn street 011 the invitation of a lady residing tbore. Her hostess' house being full, however, a room was provided for her in the ad- Joining residence of Mrs. Dr. Dupre. Mrs. Christiancy desired to conceal her identity, 80 she was known at both houses as Miss Lizzie Lugenhee, which was her maiden name. She spent most of her time with her friends only going to the doctor's liou 0 to sleep. Dr. Dupre soon came to the conclusion that her lodger was a victim of the chloral habit, but as she made no trouble 110 notice was taken of the fact. About two weeks ago Mrs. Christianoy began to complain of her eyes, and an oculist who wt| called declared her to bo insane. He also discovered that his patient was the divorced wife of the ex-senator an 1 revealed her identity to Mr. Dupre This made Mrs. Christiancy very mnch excited and she begged for protection, saying tliat'she was a persecuted woman. Last M uiriay the lady became so violent that Dr. D.i,«\; ha 1 to lw summoned to quiet her. A few minutes later the ltftlger left tho house an 1 was not seen again until last night when sh- drove up to tho bouse in a carriage. Hhe was in a state of great excitement and could not talk coherently. Slio told a story about having been in New York she denied. A sedative was administered by Dr. Dupre and three dther physicians were summoned who declared that Mrs. Christiancy was dying from mental disease and physical prostration. She continued to sink unt.l slit died, a ruviflg maniac. Her parents arrived from Washington too late to see lie. aiive. As a bottle of chloral was found upoi tho mantel in her room an autopsy ha ; bee ordered to determine whether or not sh committed suicide.

I shall send for a now supply soon." Miss Reiser, who committed suicide at the Windsor hotel, was a native of Utica, and had been employed for several months in this city by two large firms as a stenographer. Officer Schofleld of the Windsor hotel made the following statement to a representative of the United Press association: Miss Keiser drove up to the ladies' entrance of the hotel about three o'clock and walkod up Btnirs «o the suite of apartments on the second floor occupied by Mr. and Mrs. George Dunue. About an hour later 1 was informed by some of our guests that there was trouble in Mr. Dunne's apartments; I went into the corridor of the hotel and heard loud and excited talk in Dunne's rooms. After waiting a few minutes 1 heard the report of a pistol followed by a piercing scream. I then forced opan the door and found Miss lying on the floor, with blood streaming from a wound in her head, Mi-s. and Mrs. D : *ne were iu the room apparently horror su ickeu. I raise ! the unfortunate lady in n.j .ii'ins and laid her on a sofa, she opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh, my God," then fell back and expired. Mr. and Mrs. Dunue left the room and I notified Coroner Martin, who, after making an informal investigation in the case ordered the body of the unfortunate lady removed tc an undertaker's establishment in the Bowery, and postponed the inquest." Hong Kong, Dec. 14.—The latest advices from Hue, tho capital of Annum, confirm the correctness of tho report that Tiep lloa, or Disiephoa, fir Hiephma, the king of Annum, is dead, and that he was murdered by secret enemies, acting in the capacity of servants iii tho royal household. He was poisoned, the drugs having been placed in his food. It is understood that tho poison administered was of foreign manufacture, and suspicion poiuts to French treachery. Tiep Hoa was a younger brother to Tu Due, who also died by poison soon after signing tho enforced treaty with tho French giving the latter the right of occupying Hue. The death of Haoa has caused a tremondous sensation in China, and has aroused the Anamese anil Tunquineso to indignation. The maudarins of Anam have publicly resolved to ignore the treaty forced by French from Lu Due, recognizing the French occupation of Annam. They have proclaimed war against France. Admiral Courbjt has notified the French government that it is imperatively necessary to immediately reinforce the French army in Hue. WASiriNOTON, Dec. 14 — Representative McCook, the nominee of the ropubliean caucus for secretary of the senate, says that unless Senators Mahonc and Riddleberger Indorse the action of the caucus the vote on his election will be uncomfortably close. It Is generally concedcd, however, that the democratic senators will offer no resistance to the complete reorganization of the senate by the republicans. Subsequent to the caucus Senator Riddleberger was Ijeard to remark that he would probably have important business to attend to in Virginia when the vote on the election of secretary occurs, thereby indicating that he will not assist in Gen. McCook's election. Should both Riddleberger and Mahone absent themselves, however, it is not thought probable that the election of the caucus nominee will be delayed.Philadelphia, Dec. 14.—Gov. Pottison received two reports on the question of the sanity of Johu McGinuiss, the wife murderer, of Philadelphia. A commission of five physicians was appointed to inquiro into his mental condition, and four have signed a report declaring that he is insane. One doctor says that ho is sane. McGinn iss was to have been hanged on the 4th of last October, but a reprieve was granted him on September 38 until January 3 next, in order thutapioper examination might be made as to his sanity suggested by hii peculiar action, several months prior to the time fixed for his execution. The governor is giving tho reports submitted to him careful consideration. Dr. Morton, who makes the minority report concerning McGinniss, says: "In prison he has signed and sealed legal instnuuent* and actually conveyed some or uil of his personal property to his relatives. These business transactions are marked by an excellent memory and considerable sagacity and intelligence. Tho theory of alcoholic inanity appears to ine entirely controverted by abunduv.t evidence, and especially the man's habitual attention to a successful business and that the crima was not committed upon tho moment of supposed provocation, nor until he had fortified himself with drink and armed himself for the doed. This commission was appointed solely, I believe, to judge of tha prisouer's mental condition, and not to suggest what should be his future. It is my deliberate conviction that if Jienalties for capital crimes are really to be enforced no one ever more justly deserved the full extent of the law tliau John McGinnis."

Immediately after the adjournment of the senate the republican senators reassembled for the purpose of completing their slato of sonate officers. The following selections were made: For chief clerk, Charles W. Johnson, of Minnesota; for executive clerk, James Young, of Pennsylvania; for chaplain, E. D. Huntley, pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist church of Washington. W. P. Canaday, editor and proprietor of the Wilmington (N. C.) Post, was agreed upon for sergeant at arms. Col. Hooker, late sergeant at arms of the house, was also nominated for tho position, but received only a few votes. Paris, Dec. 14.—Three thousand fresh troops have been ordered to proceed at once to Tonquin. O'Donnell's Last Account of tlic Mur- The attache, connected with the hotel, refused to give any information concerning the tragedy, or as to whether Miss Reiser had been in the habit of visiting Mr. Dunne for any length of time. Mr. Dunne, who is a well to do broker, refused to see the representatives of the prosB, but it was learned that ten days ago he was married to a young lady connected with one of the highest families in this country. At Miss Reiser's boarding house, a fashionable place oil West Forty fourth street, it was stated that Mies Reiser was a beautiful and accomplished lady, very decorous in her manner, and loved all who knew her. She kept regular hours and received no visitors. After the coroner had taken the statement of Mr. and Mrs. Dunn about their knowledge of the suicide, which for the present he refuses to make public. He searched the body of t he dead girl and found the following letter, addressed to Mrs. Keiser, 159 Fayette street, Utica, N. Y.: London, Deo. 14.—At a largely attended meeting of Irishmen from all the districts of London, a resolution was adopted by acclamation calling upon Sir William Vernon Harcourt, homo secretary, in this name of justico to respite O'Donnell. They urged upon him that it was imperative to stay the execution of next Monday in order to prevent a wanton miscarriage of justice. The der.

In addition to those places the names of Hewitt, of New York, is coupled with tho chairmanship of naval affairs. Aikin of agriculture, Rosecrans of military affairs, Bland of coinage, weights and measures, and Bucknor of currency. The composition of the ways and means committee is far from being settled, so far us common report goes, though the following democratic members are most frequently mentioned in connection with the matter: Morrison, Hurd, Mills, Hewitt, Willis, Eaton, Blount and Morse. It is now thought that ex-Speaker Keifer will be at the hcud of the minority on the appropriations committee, making two cx-spoakers upou that committee. CONCERNING THE COMMITTEES. Tho Insane Policeman. New York, Dec. 14.—The trial of William Conroy for killing Peter Roenau was resumed by calling Dr. John P. Garrish to the stand. Ho has been a practicing physician forty four yoara in this city, is a member of the Academy ot Medicine, of the County Medical society and of the Pathological society. To quostions asked by Mr. M. F. Howe regarding the doctor's views of Conroy's condition when he shot Keenan he said: "Sunstroko is a strong and general exciting cause of insanity, which is likely to show itself under slight provocation like a flash. The scar on the head may have caused insanity to be exhibited only on one ]Darticular point, which would reveal itself as soon as something was said or done which touched upou this point; otherwise it might remain hidden forever." elief of all present was that O'Donnell had killed Carey in self defense, and they appealed to tho home secretary to put a stop to the present intention of tho government so that it might not be said that England had railroaded a man for the jietty satisfaction of revenge. HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT. THE NEW YORK GRAPHIC. Orlglu and Anliiiun of the Attack* I'pon It. THE MAMMOTH THE IRON STEEL MILLS. New York, Dec. 11.—Recent publications in regard to the affairs of The Graphic arc calculated to produce an erroneous impression. The Graphic company is a foreign coriDoration, organized under the laws of Canada, and hence its property can .be attached in suit, whether the basis of action is good or bad. The litigation concerning which publication has been made is the work of discharged employes, t j whom The Graphic is not indebted, according to the statement of its manager, but on the contrary they are indebted to The Graphic. The newspaper, since Mr. Hinkley, the present manager, took charge, has been recovering rapidly from th* effects of reckless and extravagant management in former years, its circulation and advertising have been greatly increased, and its expenses have been reduced and it is upon a paying and prosperous basis. It has nc obligation which it cannot readily meet. The attack upon it comes from disappointed persons who have no legitimate cause of action, and who hope only to croate an unpleasant impression concerning the affairs of the ccmpany on the public mind. CLOTHING EMPORIUM The Cause* of the Present "Shutting New York, Dec. 14.—A representative of tho iron and steel trade said today, in reference to the recently reported closing of several of the large iron and steel works throughout the country, that this closing "is due simply to the fact th&t the consumption of their manufactures is not equal to their production. Another reason may be also assigned for the closing C.1 these works, which is that the manufacturers are compelled to pay higher wages than they can afford for skilled labor. The wages of skilled laborers in iron and steel are arranged in accordance with tlj# 'boom rates' of 1880 and 1881, while the maifeet for the products has steadily declined. If the manufacturers keep their mill running and pay a lower rate of wages, they will probaly have strikes. They, therefore, prefer to shut down and. resume when the workmen are ready to accept lower wages. Down" In tho Trade. O'Donnell's brother was present at the meeting, and he told the story ol his final Interview with the condemned man ill a homely but effective way. He was listened to with attention, and at the end of the recital of his brother's wrongs the resolution was parsed unanimously and not without considerable emotion. The brother's repetition of O'Donnell's story as he gives it was somaivhat different from tho versions already published, and it in all probability will be the lost one told. -OF- HENRY COHEN, "Mother: Forgive me and pray to God to pardon your broken hearted daughter. How I have suffered you can guess by this act. Curse the love that makes your child thus forget you. I tried to conquer it, but no power of will could quench it. Pray for me. You do not know what this costs me. Think kindly of me, I have been so wronged, more than I can acknowledge, and God alone knows how I have been deceived. Again farewell, ray mother. Have I deserved this! THE LFADING AND RELIABLE MERCHANT TAILOR AND CLOTHIER, is now prepared, before the approaching holidays, with extraordinary Inducements In "If a person without sufficient cause should shoot a man with whom hu had been on friendly terms, and then after having shot and killed him should brutally and unmercifully club him, would you not say that man was insane)" APPOINTMENTS AND CONFIRMATIONS. O'Donnell said that Carey, in a friendly way, asked him to go down in the cabin and order some beer, as he did not wish his wife to think he was drinking again. O'Donnell went and Carrfy followed him. While they wei-e drinking Carey »id with an oath: "1 beliere you know me." O'Donnell said: "Yes, you are the informer, Carey." Carey at once drew his pistol and pointed it, but O'Donnell quickly knocked it up, drew his own and fired. The fDiooting attract®! the attention of those on board, and the jiassengers and crew lushed into tho cabin. Young Carey was the first to arrive, and picked up the smoking pistol. At this point O'Donnell (topped talkiug about the affair, and would make no further statement. The interview between him and his brother lasted half an hour, and it will be the last permitted. Other friends also saw him for tho last time. NOBBY CUSTOM SUITS The president sent to the senato a large batch of recess appointments, including a number of army promotions, and that of Rev. John Vaughan Lewis, of New York, to be post chaplain. and line selected stock of "Roes." "If it was a case of aberration of the mind I should consider him insane." READY-MADE NOTHING, The senate in executive session confirmed the nomination of Wm. Livingston, Jr., to bo collector of customs at Detroit, Mich. The police of the central office and of the nineteenth precinct were notified of the tragedy late last night and are making a thorough investigation of all the facts connected with the case. which is complete In every department, from the finest imported to the best of domestic fabrics, in all the various styles and colors. lie has the b st and largesr tock, as fine as can be found in auy Metropolitan establishment. All custom gooes are maue up with the best caie and workmanship. In his cross examination the doctor said that he had been a witness in a criminal court about twent five or thirty times. Many years ago a man broke into a shoo store at Grand street and Broadway with the intention of robbery. The witness appeared for the prosecution and swore that the palsoner was sane and he was convicted. The annual report of tbe Washington monument commission, submitted to congress, shows that tho monument was increased from 840 to 410 feet in height at a coat of $190,043. The unexpended portion of the appropriation will ba sufficient to complete the monument by December, 1884, but additional appropriations will be required for adorning the approaches and illuminating the shaft. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. "The Albany and Rensselaer Iron and Steel works have another reason for shutting down besides those abovo enumerated. Before resuming operations they expect to provide facilities for making their own pig iron. Rail mills which do not possess their own blast furnaces can hardly compote with those having them. The Albany and Rensselaer works will use in their furnaces the cheap and abundant carbonates of Columbia county, on the Hudson river, and they expect to make all the pig iron which they consume, at a price which will enable them to meet all the fluctuations in the market for steel rails." Mr. Hinkley, the managing director, owns a controlling interest in The Graphic stock, and be is a constant purchaser of other stock, and the Canadian stockholders are in hearty accord with hirti. At tho lost meeting of the board of directors a resolution was passed unanimously complimenting him upon the success of his management, and indorsing his policy.  IMPOSING CEREMONIES.

AND ELEGANT FITS WARRANTED, Cincinnati, G., Dec. 14.—The pallium sent to ArchbishoD Elder, successor of Archbishop Furcell, by Pope Leo XIII., was conferred on him with imposing ceremonies at the Cathedral. Bishop McCloskey, of Louisyille, Ky., placed the sacred emblem oil tbe new Archbishop's shoulders, after pontifical high mass and a sermon by Bishop Watterson. All the bishops in the archdiocese and over one hundred priests were present. In the audience were Archbishop Elder's six brothers—Frances W. Elder, of Baltimore (the birthplace of all the brothers), Basil T., of Manhattan, Kansas; John C., of Baton Bonge, La.; Joseph E, of Chicago, and Thomas 8. and Charles D., of Mew Orleans. The brothers had not met together before in fifty years. Their eldest and only surviving sister, Helen, a sister of charity at St. Joseph hospital, Emmittsburg, Md., was prevented from attending on account of liar advanced age. They are the descendants in the fourth generation of the old patriarch, Win. Elder, who came from Lancashire, England, iu 1720, and settled in Frederick county, Md. Mount St. Mary's college is a part of the old farm nnd many eminent prelates have gone out from it—Cardinal McCloskey, Archbishops Dubots, Hughes, Furcell and others. New Brunswick, N. J., Dec. 14.—Fanny Dunham, the woman whom it was thought John Koop had murdered near Perth Amboy last June, was brought here. She said that she had never seen or heard of Koop, and when they met in the jail this morning neither recognized the other. She was taken back to New York.

Chicago, Dec. 14.—Larry Concoran, for yean pitcher a£ tho Chicago league club, has taken a change of b.ise which will result in his being expelled from tho national league. On Dec. 4 he telegraphed President Spaulding: "Send contract and $400 advance.1. The contract was forwarded. Sunday Concoran again telegra^M*1: "Don't seud contract. Have signed with union association." Under existing league rules this violation of league contracts must lead to Concorau's expulsion. London, D*c. 14,—The BigHt Hon. William E. Forster, ex-under secretary for Ireland, delivered an address in Bradford, England, upon Irish affairs. A groat and boisterous auidience was present, as it had been well advertised that Mr. Forster would reply to tho address delivered by Mr. tarnoll on Tuesday. The honorable speaker bora out h s advertisements by making a most vigorous and telling attack ujxDn Mr. Parnell and his National policy, which Mr. Forster described as utterly treasonable. At this description a clique of Irishmen in one part of tbe hall yelled out: "Oh, Buckshot! ob, Bayonets!'' and continued their cries with such effect that a general uproar followed Mr. Forster, apparently unaffected, moved out to tho front of the platform, and stood there with upraised hands until a lull enaued, when he cried out in powerful tones: "Irishmen, as you failed to kill me while I was a member of the executive in Ireland, you must hear me ill England!" The effect of this utterance was electrical, the .audience rising to their feet, waiving their hats and handkerchiefs, and cheering lustily. The Irish disturbers ceased their interruptions anil Mr. Forster tiuished his address. During his speech Mr. Forster strongly advocated the extension and enlargement of the franchise in Ireland as a means of feace, insisting that a failure to pass the measure could have but one effect, that of placing a dangerous weapon iu tho hands of tho disloyal Irish party. 110, FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

AMERICAN PORE IN FRANCE. Montreal, Dec. 14.—Edward Mahon, one of the absconding partners of the firm of John Mahon's Sons, boot and shoe manufacturers, ot Boston and Lynn, who failed some two years ago for a very largC*amount, came to MOUtreal, it is said, with (30,000 of his creditor's money. He took up his residence here, and invested his cash with different firms and in various bank stocks. The principal firms with which he invested were Mullarky & Co., Frank Stafford & Co., R. B. Coulsen and S. Coulsen, all wholesale boot and shoe firms, and the  Lumber company. Today thirty six seizures before judgment have bean taken against mouies iu the hands of the above named and other firms and various city banks on behalf of Messrs. Lucius Beebe's Sons and Worthingtou & Hall, of Boston, who are creditors for 115,000 and $12,000 respectively. When Mahon first came to Montreal he employed a lawyer to go to Boston to settle his affairs, and also to supervise his investments here. The latter recently sent in a bill for $6,000, which Mahon repudiated, and tho lawyer had also taken out seizures against Mahon's investments at the same time. He is supposed to have let the cat out out of t'.io bag. John Mahon, another partner of the firm, is ■aid to be in Europe. Boston's Clerical Thief.

Chicago, Dec. 14.—Criminal conspiracy was the charge iu answer to which George W. Spotts had nothing to say. He is the son in law of a wealthy Indianapolis merchant, and had to leave that city about September 1 for swindling his father in law out of some money. He came to Chicago, lost all his money on the board of trade and in faro bonks, and to retrieve his fortune planned the robbery of $10,000 belonging to the Republican mills, on Kinzie street, whore his brother is a member of the firm. A negro named Jones, who was to commit the crime, was arrested and confessed. Spotts, being highly connected, was allowed to go free if he would leave for Iudianapolis immediately.An evening paper intimates that at the next meeting of the finance committee Senator Sherman will oppose tbe confirmation of Mr. Evans' nomination to be commissioner of internol revenue. mraMoin Doings of the Baseball men.

The first order of business was the proposition to the Hanlon club, of Washington, and the Richmond club, of Virginia, granting them all the privileges and protection of the national agreement. Scores of off day games with the association and league clubs were provided. They will hold aloof from either of the "union" associations. They were also guaranteed the first vacancy that occurred in either the American association or the league. The Louisvillo club was given permission to chanco its nuine from the "Eclipse" to "Louisville." St. Louis also formally adopted the name of the "St. Louis baseball association." The five mile rule was mude absolute. War to the kuiTe was declared upon all associations that antagonize the old established clubs by organizing new clubs in cities already occupied. It was also agreed that any reserve player who while reserved shall play a game of baseball with any club other than tho one which reserved him shall forever be debarred from playing with the club reserving him. This eternally shuts out such players from auy club belonging to the union of the associations under' the national agreement and leaves a chance open for such players to roturn to the reserving club before April next. Tie league will also adopt resolutions that every club shall hereafter deal summarily with drunkards. The constitution and amendments were then further considered. Chicago, Dec. 14.—The Irish prisoner and martyr aid society has resolved to hold a death watch on tho night preceding the death of O'Donnell.
