Now that the smoke is clearing an ay
iron) tlic ruins of that unfortunate slice of
1 Cotton Avenue, scenes, and incidents pap
Up to the surface like so many corks l/osscs
are ascertained, and the losers mop out
their course.
Among those who could ill alford to
lose one third of his all, let alone all of it,
was Mr. Miles Sweeney, lie was at the
Hibernian Ball at the time of the tire, and
just reached his store iu time to save a
trunk containing some money and other
valuables. Tbe fire originated iu his
house but how, he is at quite a loss to
know.
Mrs. Phillip Kenney was lying very ill
at the time of the tire. Mr. Kenney kept
store ou the upper left hnnd side of the
block, and* some five or six doors from the
store in which the fire originated. There
was just time to get Mrs. K. out of the
house and carry her to Mr. P. Kerwiu’s,
a square from the lire, when the flames
took firm hold of the house, and it fared
a like fate with the others.
Like every true Irishman, Phil is full
of pluck, and he has gathered together
what little he did save and is now ready
to serve his customers at his new stand
opposite City Hall.
At the ball, someone raised the cry of
fire and the “ sound of revelry by night ”
was uncerimoniusly stopped. They were
assured by cool heads that the fire was not
in the same building, and oh with the
dance was the cry. They could not enjoy
themselves very much though, for the cry
of fire had thrown a damper on their fes.
tivities. Pity but what something had
thrown a damper on the fire.
Mr. James Harvey had a pen of flue
hogs in the rear of his lot and when the
fire, following the fence, licked up the pen,
the cries of agony from the burning beasts
was appalling. A beautiful little pet dog
of one of his children also fell a victim to
the flames.
Mr. 11. expects to re open his store in a
few days.
It takes more than two tires to knock
the energy and enterprise out of our friend
Archie Smith. At the Fourth street fire,
he was a heavy loser, and at the last fire
on Cotton Avenue he lost live thousand
dollars. Notwithstanding the fact that he
was barely able to lose so many cents, he
took his misfortunes like a true philosopher,
and while others would cry aud blubber
over spilt milk, he kept iu good humor,
went to work aud has now reopened his
grocery on Cotton Avenue and is just as
contented as if the fire had not occurred.
Archie is a live man, and deserves praise
for his energy.

New YoßK,Marcb2o. —Foster passed the
day quietly and remained during the
greater part of the time in his cell. He
heard early in the day of the final efiort of
bis counsel to prevent, by a legal techni
cality, his executied to-morrow and bis
hopes revived. On receiving the intelli
gence that the efiort had proved vain, he
became dejected, hung bis head on his
breast and desired that no one would speak
of him except his wife. She bad fainted
on hearing of the failure of tbe last effort.
On recovering, she returned to him
and, placing her hand in his, sat by him
for honr, but spoke little. About half-past
8 this morning a final parting between
Foster and his wife took place. Both
were deeply affected. He kissed her re
peatedly and she clung to him UDtil over
come with emotion. She fainted and was
carried away by her brother. The
prison officials were deeply moved by the
scene.
Rev. Dr. Tying spent upwards of an
hour this afternoon with Foster, who lis
tened earnestly to his exhortations. Fos
ter was also visited during the day by his
brother-in-law, his father and by Father
Duncan, Catholic Priest, but refused to
undergo tbe ordeal of parting with his
children, whom he has not seen since his
arrest.
New York, March 21.— About six
; thousand persons made application for
tickets of admission to witness tbe execu
tion of Foster, the earhook murderer.
Early in the morning as many as several
hundred persons had assembled in front of
the city prison and anxiously awaited the
tho moment when the murderer of Avery
1). Putnam would ho led to tbo scaffold,
and yet not one of those who waited so
patiently outsi lo had the slightest chance
of gaining admission within the preciut.
'I he apparatus devised for Foster’s exe
cution consisted of upright beams having
an ill’ll pulley wheels, to which are at
tached a heavy weight. This weight is
suspended about six ieet from the ground,
the object of its being iu this way is lo
break the neck of the culpiit by the sud
denness of (he movement.
At seven o'clock this morning Foster
awoke and purtook of a cup of cotree, but
ate nothing. Ho was very pale and his
strength seemed failing. He was attended
by the Rev. Ur. Tyug and tbo ltev. Ur.
Schooumaker, chaplain of Sing Sing. He
was engaged in devotional exercises un
til nine o'clock.
At eleven minutes past nine o'clock ho
was led out, suporteil by the Sheriff.—
Foster walked unfalteringly; his face
had a hefctic flush. When ho arrived
beneath the scaffold Rev. Ur. Tyng, as
sisted by ltev. Mr. Sehoonmakerroad tho
fifty-first Psalm, besought God “to open
the eye of mercy upon Thy servant.”
The scene vvus hushed and impressive
in the extreme. Foster stood beneath the
scaffold, his head bowed and his baud
shading his eyes. Mr. Schoonmaker
then shook hands with Foster and said
“ God bless thee, my dear friend.”
At seventeen minutes past nine the holt
was drawn and the body rose into the air.
The condemned man gave a slight strug
gle only so slight as to bo almost iuper.
ceptible. There was an absence of the
usual movement of the shouldors. There
was a slight contraction of the lower
limbs, and barely a perceptible motion of
the hands. After hanging live minutes
the body was lowered about nine inches,
and a minute after about a foot further.
Twelve minutes after the bolt had been
drawn his pulse commenced to beat. Fos
ter had died almost without a struggle. It
wus evident during the reading of the ser
vices that lie was rapidly sinking and
setiraely able to stand. Physicians noticed
this, and ltev. Ur. Shoomaker had just
shook hands with Foster and said, “Good
bye, God bless you my friend,” when the
fatal bolt was drawn. After being allowed
to haug a little over twenty minutes, the
body was lowered into tne coflin and con
veyed into the do id house of the Tombs,
from where it will be taken to day to the
residence of Foster’s widow. The inter
ment will probably lake place on Monday,
at twenty minutes before ten. The crowd
of deputy sheriffs and others, fifteen hun
dred and fifty persons, who had gained
admission to witness the execution, slowly
made their exit frem tho scene.
About three hundred spectators were
present at Foster’s execution. The doomed
man seemed to have a hope of commuta
tion up to the last moment. Nearly all
the afternoon papers issued extraq. over
the event. Shortly after Foster had been
cut down, the sexton of Rev. Dr. Tyugs’
church ca]led at the Toombs and reques
ted that the body be allowed to remain till
late in the afternoon, when it will be
taken to the residence of his wife. None
of the unfortunate man’s friends have
called to see the body since the execution.
He is lyiDg in a room in the Toombs in
the undertakers box waiting to be re
moved.
Nine murderers have been put to death
on the gallows used by Foster.
New Yorker.
New York. March 21, 2 p. m.—The
sexton of Dr. Tyng’s church called at the
Tombs shortly after Foster’s body had
been cut down and asked if it could not
be allowed to remain there until noon
when it would be removed to the resi
dence of his wife. The request was im
mediately granted aDd the remains will
be removed about dusk.
The prisoners in the Tombs have been
closely confined and all visitors excluded
to-day. All the prisoners appear very
despondent in consequence of Foster’s ex
ecution. Stokes has hardly spoken a
word.

TnE Brooklyn Eagle makes a startling
charge affecting the dramatic critics of the
metropolitan press. It says that six of
these gentlemen, representing the six
largest dalies of New York, have formed a
ring, a regularly organized association,
with a president, secretary and treasurer,
which is engaged in the manufacture of
reputation for such playwrights, actors
and managers as will disburse a sufficient
sum for that purpose. The combination,
according to the Eagle, is now about to
be exposed. It seems that Boucicault sent
SI,OOO to the Treasurer and took his re
ceipt for the same. Subsequently one of
the critics, as the story goes, repudiated
the contract, and handled Boucicault with
some severity. Asa consequence, it is
said that Dion will bring a suit against the
asssociation for obtaining money under
false preienses. Tbe whole story has lit
tle to commend it te public credence. It
is true that dramatic criticism at New
Yoik is often difficult to comprehend; but
it is not supposable that the critics would
have the hardihood to enter into such a
black mailing combination as that which
the Eagle describes. —Chicago Time*.
A Chicago clergyman announced to his
congregation the existence of a place in
that city where men are drugged, and held
for ransom, and tossed out into the street
that it may appear as if they had died
suddenly. The question is, why the rev
erend gentleman doesn’t give this inform
tion to the police, instead of keeping it for
the inside of his church where none of the
city authorities are like to hear of it.
The German government has at length
given definite statistics showing the Ger
man losses in the war with France. The
total number killed, wounded and missing
amounts to 127,897. Of these there were
killed in action 17,572; those who died
afterward from their wounds numbered
10,710; from sickness, 12,253 ; from acci
dents, 316; from suicide, 30; the total
number who died being thus 40,881,
including 1,534 officers. During the war
there were no less than 1,599 encounters
with the enemy which were attended with
loss of life.
The death of Bishop Mcllvaine leaves a
vacancy in the Peabody Southern Educa
tional Board.
Edward Conigland, of Halifax, N. C., is
mentiened as ttie proper person to write
the history of North Carolina during the
war.
Dr Deems authorizes the announcement
that Commodoro Vanderbilt has given
$500,000 to Bishop McTyeire, of the South
ern Methodist Church, to establish a uni
i versity in Tennessee.
