The strike in this instance found a
temporary solution from the bayonets
of the Government. At Marlins-
burg we saw a handful of soldiers
forming in the fiico of twenty times
their number, and we knew the con
test was at an end ; for the gaunt,
hungry-looking eyes of the laborers
saw back of those bayonets the im
mense power of a Government or
ganized for their benefit and used for
their oppression.

Auburn, Mass., .Tnlv 19,1877.—A
Mr. Campbell, lief husband, was the
first to discover the tragedy. Upon
his return home he found his wife in
bed, where he had left her, but in a
terrible condition. The poor woman
most horrible crime was committed was writhing in pain, her limbs brok-
in the neighboring village of Stone- on, her face disfigured, bruised and

prediction is history now, that the

of a coming storm. Our financial
panic, tfetl t J>eigan nearly four years
since, opened in the failure of railroad

MULCAHY’S STORY.
Mulcahy, or Wilkins, as he is best
known, gives every*,appearance of
insanity, and tells the following story
at the police office: He says be
spent last night at his father’s bouse
in New Worcester, and arising this
morning said bus prayers, took a
bath, and went out to walk toward
Auburn, While passing along he
was accosted by a fiend, which was
hid from mortal right in the grass.
In a load voice he commanded the
fiend to bo gone, but it appeared
several times afterward to him, once
coming in the shape of a dog. Thus
harrnssed by the evil spirit, and com
missioned by the Lord to destroy it,
he went to the hut of tlip Campbell:
crazy man had drenched her will*.
Notwithstanding her terrible condi
tion .she was conscious, and on his
entrance said, Frank, where were
you when Jim Wilkins murdered
me She then told him that Wil
kins had been there, that he tore the
close off from her body, threw the
water upon her, then took iter limbs
one by one in his hands and broke
them across his knees and then
poundcred her on the head, but she
could not tell what weapon lie used.
Subsequently the dying woman told
substantia’ly the same story to some
neighbors who called to see her.

Dr. Nutting, who was early called,
found the left leg broken below the

They had only/ to wait. Capital is
not comfortable. It works at a loss,
and every day the loss widens and
deepens. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, that is earnestly
endeavoring to do an honest business,
finds itself in competition with bank
rupt lines, that have no stockholders
to consult or creditors to care for.
We arc grieved to write it, but the
company is losing. Thf continuation
of such a contest is only a qucstibji of

THE I* KI.SO NEK’S HISTORY.
Mulcahy or Wilkins is an Irish-
Ameriean, thirty-nine years old, and
has f„r some years lived at times
with his father tit New Worcester,
working on farms. He has wandered
in the West, and has frequently gone
off on tramps for a month or so. This
spring he figured in a row* in Wor-
her of the evil spirit. He then j coster, and in which he alleged him-
grabl.ed one leg, and bending it j S i*lf to have been robbed of quite a
across bis own knee, broke it in sev- j sum of money. In the scuffle he

then seized the body anj threw it on . lgu j, 0 W ;ls n lodger., at the police
the floor, there jumping on it with
his heavy shoes until, as he says, not
a joint m tho 1 whole body was left
unbroken. He then took pails of
water and threw them over the man
gled body, alleging that no evil spir
it could survive the drowning pro
cess. He then took the body and
laid it back on the bed, covering it
station, and then showed 1 some signs
of insanity, so much so as to attract
the investigation of the officers, but
was at Lngth aliov ed to go. It is
surmised that lately he hits been
drinking hard, as he has been a man
given to intoxication in the past, and
his in. unity lias been produced by
his debauchery. He is a large pow-
