The Execution of Orme, the Murderer of Brodhead The Crime and the Trial The Escape from Jail. i:u, i:ic, rtc, i:ic,, i:to. The execution of Charles Orme, one of the ii.url rers of Theodore Brodhead, of the Dela ware Water (iaii, takes place to-day at Strouds bnrjr. The deceased was a brother of Thomas I3rod trl, the proprietor of the ISmlnerd llou-c, at Dntolsvillc, Monroe eounty. He was about forty-five years of ai;e, and had leen formerly fiiatced in the lumber business. His assailanU fic William P.rooks, njied twenty-two years, a l-'cotcliimin by birth, who had been a railroad laborer since his arrival in the country, eighteen nu uths before, and Charles Orme, an Irishman twenty years old. On Thursday morning, Sep tember 24, lsf8, these two men left Seranton on a freight train, but were put olf at Strouils bursr that afternoon. They wandered about Stroudsburg, and took drinks at the principal Lotels. During that night they robbed a hard ware store at Stroudsburg, and stole a lot of tools and a coat, and placed the proceeds of the robbery in a carpet-bag, and proceeded towards the Water Gap. They stopped at the Hraincrd House, got intimate with two or three la borers ou Saturday morning about 10 o'clock, and took drinks with them, when they were left in the bar-room alone. They waited until Thomas Brodhead went out, and then uietly robbed the drawer of eight dollars. They then went to Luke Brodhead's tavern, near the Braincrd House, and took a drink, after which they walked a short distance along the road, when they were overtaken by Thomas Brodh&ul, followed by Theodore. They were counting and sharing the money when the lirodhcads came up. Thomas accused them of the robbery, when they threw the money down and said, "Take the money." Thomas then told them they must go back with him, when Brooks appeared willing at first, and then refused. Thomas Brodhead laid hands upon Orme, sayinir, that he must go with them. Orme attempted to throw some money over an orchard wall, but a two dollar note fell to the ground, and as Thomas Brodhead stooped to pick it up, Brooks levelled a pistol at his head. Theodore warned him not to lire, and he turned and shot him (Theodore), through the heart. A scutlle ensued between Thomas and the men, in which several pistol shots were fired, and the former was so badly beaten that lie sank to the ground exhausted, whereupon they lied. They went down in the Gap and up in the mountains, and after wandering around found they were headed off, the whole neighborhood by this time being in arms and scouring the country for them. Without knowing it they took a cut and came out near the scene of the murder, there being nobody about, the citizens being in the mountains hunting them. They were soon seen, however, crossing the road and wading through Cherry creek, when the alarm was given anil the spot was soon surrounded. They hid in some underbrush, but, when sum moned, came forth aud surrendered. One of them pointed a pistol at the crowd just before the surrender, but did not lire, and both captives threw away their weapons before being caught. These was great trouble to prevent them being lynched by the incensed citizens; the Sheriff and his men saved their lives with great dilliculty. After a period of great excitement both men were lodged in the Stroudsburg Jail, and the prison was guarded day aad night. This is the only murder which has o leurred in that section of the country tor many years. The prisoners were arraigned for trial on the 2ftth of December, and several days were taken up by the cause. They were represented by able counsel, but a verdict of "guilty of murder in the first degree" was returned. An appeal was then taken to the Supreme Court, upon the ground that the Brodheads, being private citi zens, and having no warrant, their death, result ing from resistance to the attempted arrest, was not murder, but manslaughter. This the Court below refused to aflirm, and this formed the principal assignment of error. The point was argued at length, but was overruled by the Supreme Court, the opinion stating: "It is an nnsvfer to this point to say that it required the Court to take the question entirely from the jury, and to say that the crime was only manslaughter. Though the arrest be illegal, the killing would not necessarily be manslaugh ter, for the question of malice still remained. The illegal assault will not reduce the offense to manslaughter where the revenge is dispropor tionate and barbarous." On Saturday morning, April the citizens of Stroudsburg were startled by the ringing of the alarm bell at 3 A. M. It soon became known that the prisoners had escaped, and speedily there was gathered nt the jail an excited multi tude, armed and uuarmed, ou horseback and on foot, ready to scour the country. It seems one of the prisoners feigned sickness, and at length tumbled down on the floor of the cell as if in a fit or spasm. The other one called to the old jailor, who was watching in the hall, aud asked him if he would come in ami belt) him lift his companion on the bed. The old man un suspectingly unlocked the door of the cell, leaving the'keys sticking in the look. The pri soners at once sprang to their feet, commanding the jailor to keep still at the peril of his life. Their hopples and handcuffs they had previously removed without keys by hammering theiii open, and they now sprang out, closing the cell door on the old jailor; and were soon at liberty outside the jail. They had failed to lock the jailor in, so in a few minutes after their escape the bells rang out the alarm, and at an earlv hour the chase began. Couriers on horseback were sent out in every direction, whilst those on toot took to the fields and wo Is. A blood hound brought from Jersey for the purpose teemed to indicate that the fellows had made for the Bocono Mountains. Throughout Saturday the excitement was very great in Stroudsburg aud vicinity, and business came to a halt equal to the day of the murder. The Sheriff had offered a thousand dollars re ward, private individuals had added other hun dreds to the offer, and the pursuit was vigorous and earnest Up to Sunday morning nothing had been heard from the criminals. Many of the pursuers had returned, declaring the chase in vain. At length, at about 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Orme was captured a few miles from Stroudsburg. A farmer, at whose barn they btopped, gave the alarm, and although they at tempted to escape on stolen horses, Orme was taken. Nothing further was known of Brooks' where abouts until May Yi, when Mr. Laivrent encoun tered him five miles west of Fort Jervis, N. Y., and seized him. While walking with Ills captor Brooks suddenly plunged down an embankment of thirty feet, effected his escape, aud from that time to the present ho has been at largo. Efforts have beeu made to secure a pardon 1 from the Executive in the case of Orme; but as the latter attempted a second time to escape from his confinement, all hopes vl liuUlCl'it'.'d cleiECccy tad to te abandoned. dissipation a death. i The End of n Oenrnvetl l.lfa-A Nw Orlrnm Youth Shoom 11 in illitrc nnd liiiiiiulntm llliMHrlf. l'Tdm the K O. runyttn ef Saturday last. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon another fearful tragedy was perpetrated in the Second district of this city. Scarcely has the public mind recovered from the horror excited by the City Bark tragedy before it is presented with another scene of blood and violence, more har rowing in its recital than the former, fearful as that certainly was. The scene now changes to a low frame tenement-house on Bampart street, between Customhouse and Bienville. It is known as No. 111. aud is occupied by a woman named Mrs. Forte, who keeps turulshcd rooms to rent. One of these was tenanted by a young girl named Maggie Walker. It 'seems that she sustained intimate relations with a clerk in a commission house on this side of Canal street: but it appears she had other lovers, since the victim and perpetrator of the fearful tragedy was one of them. His name is Gaston Ferret, a Creole, about thirty-two years of age. How long he has Known the irii'l no one seems to Know but he has been visiting her for more than six mouths past. Yesterday he called at the house, and inquired of Mrs. Forte for Maggie, and was directed to seek her in the back yard. His appearance exhibited no signs of excitement, and he commenced a conversa tion with the girl, seemingly in the best humor. He left her for a few moments, and aitaiu re turned. This time he accused Lcr of having lovers besides himself. She replied: "You know I have !" "Well," said he, "I'm tired of life; but before I die I mean to kill you." Still she apprehended no danger, and laughed in its face. But almost at the s ;iac instant he drew a large sized Colt's revolver and fired at her. The ball took effect in her left cheek and ranged towards her throat. The landlady heard the report of the pistol, and rushed out "in time to see Ferret put the muzzle under his chin and lire. The ball ranged towards the centre of the head, and indicted what must be a morta wound. The woman, as soon as she was shot, rushed Into the house and out on the bauquette. where she fell insensible. Here she was picked up by Officer Smith, and carried back into the house. The alarm spread rapidly, and in a few moments the house was filled With frightened citizens. At this lime Special Officer Bellousa reached the scene. He at once ordered the girl to be taken to the Charity Hospital, and the Coroner to be sent for, tor it was then believed the mau could survive but a few moments. Con trary to expectations, he is still alive, but there is scarcely any likelihood that he can live but a few hours longer. In the pocket of Ferret was found the sub joined letter: I have so much endured Hint 1 am tired of living any more; alter a lontr struggle between life and ileatli, my fate is to finish my life with this bloody tragedy. No niiin can imagine what I have sintered in the last ten years. Ten years ago I swore to kill myself at tliirty. years of age, if my constitution in life had not changed before that time. Instead of getting better, 1 have sunk from bad to worse. 1 havu passed through all the passions that can torture a human heart ; the last of all love accursed love had to give the lust stroke to my existence. JJut I cannot leave this cursed world alone. I am bound to take before I die the life of the woman I love mildly, and by whom 1 have been (made) so much unhappy for the last six months.

This letter, together with a sealed one, were taken from his pocket bv Captain Cain, the Chief of Police, 'ihe scaled letter was addressed to Mons. Arthur Malssague, and has not been broken open. It is not known, therefore, what it contains. The scene now had become almost frightful. The man lay upon his back, breathing heavily, and a sanguine tide issuing from his mouth. The ball in its course through his head had bulged out his eyes, rendering hideous his face, blackened by the congealing blood, while over the pale lips "had settled a bloody, frothy foam. '1 he stoutest men turned away "from the scene, sick at heart, lie was evidently an edu cated man, and was employed as clerk in a con fectionery on the corner of Bayou road aud Esplanade street. The young girl, Maggie Walker, has only been in the city about two years, and came from Franklin parish, where her parents now reside. The girl is about twenty-five years of age, is rather fleshy and is somewhat pretty, with Clack eyes and dark brown curling hair. THE HARVARD. How (lie Hoy Worked During their Yovagc.

A rowing weight had been set up amid ships on the main deck, but even those who were well could scarcely abide the smells which filled the "lidely," aud the steamer rolled so much that thev could not keep their seats so as to pull property. The upper deck, however, furnished pretty fair accommodations for walk ing, and every liny the crew did their three and four miles, while the lighter exercise of the ' fall," the "spider," the long reach, the back ward and forward leap, joined with exercise on a horizontal bar (and some of the more venture some even louud the rigging no bad substitute for gyninastie apparatus), served to keep the men in fair condition.

In the police court yesterday, a man named Frank Hurtling was lined 15 and costs on a charge of assault and battery. He had been arrested for chasing from his saloon and severely punishing a young son of Andrew Witsecnberger, a painter. Iu his attempts to justify his course, Hauling asserts positively that the boy was very bad, and that lie suspected him of an attempt to steal from the saloon till. The father of the lad, not satisfied w ith the fine in the Police Court, swore out a warrant, and caused Hurtling to be arrested again. In the course of the afternoon they met, when Hurtling remonstrated with Wltseenberger about the second arrest. Angry words were ex changed. They then clinched and came to blows. Their struggle was a desperate one for a moment, until Witsecnberger managed to throw the other. Before the interference of the crowd could avail anything, Witseenberger jumped upon his prostrate foe and literally stamped the life out of him, crushing in his ribs and leaving him a dying man. Witsecnberger was imme diately arrested. Ifartling's death occurred iu the course of a couple of hours.

He was escorted from the railroad depot to the City Hotel, where lie made a feeling and felicitous speech in response to the welcoming address of ex-Governor Neil S. Brown. Iu the course of his remarks Governor Senter emphasized oue point, and that was that in Tennessee there must ne no proscription on ac count of rebellion, race or color. Suffrage, and the fullest political and civil rights, must, he said be free to all. He continued by saying that the wounds ot the past must heal up and that brotherly and fra ternal feeling was now to be cultivated all around in Tennessee. He thought the surroundings were ripe for a new party which would discard dead issues and act up to the living present. Bourbonisin on the oue hand, and proseriptlvc radicalism on the other, should be ignored and set aside, and a new departure taken which would lead to liberal and progressive ideas and measures. The young men of the State, he said, carried the recent election with such an impetus that the judges were almost unable to decide how far they had gone ahead. He urged that the wis dom of age should temper young America, but it is striding along like an Arab courser. His re marks were received with shouts of applause. Enough legislative returns have now beeu re ceived to showjthat in that body, containing oue hundred aud nine members, there will not be over twenty Republicans.

The following is a letter from Mr. Fisk, ad dressed to Mr. Edmund Savage, in response to a communication from that gentleman, giving his statement of the causes which brought about the pending contest between the rival holders of stock in the Albany aud Susquehanna Rail road: Kdumiid Savage. F.sq. Dear Sir: Your enclosure to me of the article on the Albany and Susquehanna liallroad Is at hand. An answer cannot be prejudi cial to the interests of those I represent, cjuiek, sharp work, and so much to be done on a stamping ground new to nie, left me only to feel that the great majority of the good people of Albany were runuing away with a wrong idea of our side of the question, and overlooked the great benefits and advantages we were bringing to their doors. Look at the facts. At the western terminus of the Albany aud Sus quehanna Koad, at Binghamton, it meets the trie Kiulroad, stretebing out through itself and its branches westward thousands of miles. Look at the map and observe the geographical position, and you will see how near and dear the arm which runs to Albany not dear to us that we should control it. God forbid that we should do so unless right. If the controllers of this arm would work in harmony with us all would be well ; but there was the brine of contention. The idea of localizing the Albany ami Susquehanna road and Uxing arbitrary rules, thinking it could or would be made to pay the stockholders, regardless of the in terests of those who travel on it and who send freight over it, ami also have done more than all others to advance the prosperity of the road, is wrong In theory and would be absurd in practice. Your city gave its million, not as an investment, but for the bcnelit of Its citizens In the business it brings to them. After eight months the almost steady perseverance on the part of the president ol the Erie road, .Mr. Gould, he has been unable to reach Albany with business except at local rates, which has been greatly to the disadvantage of both roads and of the public. What we wanted"wasr rata, offensive ami cbfensive, by the way of the Albany and Susquehan na. We are say llfty miles further to Huil'dto, and we could not induce business to go that way except at a lower price. That we could not get, and there fore the Central road held its power and tixed its own price on its traitlc. Do you suppose, if we had held the power on the Albany and Susquehanna road, we would not have entered as a competitor for tue business between this city and liullalo? Most assuredly we would, could we have done so at the same price the Central charged. If we had been forced to have made less price, they would have been forced to do the same thing. All this would have been greatly to the ad vantage of the city of Albany. No better result for the benefit of your citizens could have been accom plished. I should suppose the people of this good city would welcome us with open arms. Look at the past. Has not everything been done by the Central l ne to make you a mere local station to ruin your shipping and wipe out your instruments of business, and leave you with nothing on hand but pleasure ail the time, which is very tiresome, or rather to leave you to a Kip Van Winkle sleep? Can any one suppose that we want the Albany and Susquehanna Koad for its business between here and liinghamton? No; we are not so foolish. We want It as a contributing branch an ally of the Erie Kailway. We want it as a means of communicating with every city and town and hamlet of New England that to-day we are isolated from. We wish to pour out the wealth brought over the Erie Koad, in your city and on your docks, for transportation eastward. We would make Albany the great terminus of one long line of road the distributing point for the North and East. We have not come here like thieves or irrespon sible parties, or even uninvited, hut we have united with us a majority of all the directors of the Albany aud Susquehanna road. We do not seek to gobble up, without right or title, as has been charged. Al most a million of dollars of our money has come in here for an investment, which the other day could have been had forless than a quarter of that amount. Of course, we have done this expecting that it will be some tune one of the arms of the trie Kailway, and its light arm too. It cannot be of service to us except by yielding equal advantages to you. The interests of all demand that this line should work iu harmony with the millions and millions of capital that stretch west from your city aud the Albany and Susquehanna line. The directors of this road saw the value of this policy, but they were powerless, and to-day I liud our people anil our capital lighting your battle against those who are prejudiced against us, for no other reason except that they do nut un derstand the matter as it is. We have not come to attack maliciously, as some of your presses have said, the president of the Albany and Susquehanna road. Mr. Kamsey and myself have long been friends, and nothing but the welfare of the great interests involved would have brought me in collision with him. 1 have the. high est regard for him, barring my opinion of him as a railroad manager. 1 am sorry that ho stands to-day between the interests of the people and our corpora tion. There can bo but one result, and that will be free admittance to us in Albany. For all we ask we give you fourfold in value. The star of the Albany and Susquehanna road as a mere local road has set. It must now be part of the great thoroughfare from the Atlantic to the Paclllc, and Albany must be the distributing point, for here we change the gauge, nnd this must be the place of delivery. Albany must be where the tolls are taken. All the business pays tribute to you, aud In that will be your wealth. It Is evident the hostility to our interests is stimu lated by those in the interests of the Central, if the Central gets control of this road, as it hopes to do, it is plain that It would take oir the trains and cease to run it, as it lias done with the road to Athens. The Interest ol the Erie is to run it ; the interest of the Central Is to discontinue It. In this case we shall light on In this contest. If we win, jou will real) the Weneilts; If we fall, you will be the sufferer. It Is not a question of to-day, but of the future, and I think my holdlng-out powers will last with tiiose who are opposed to me. I ask no advantage to which my case does not entitle me. Give Mr. Kamsey the advantages of all doubt, aud what Is left will waft us on to victory. Your, very respectfully, J AMES. FlSK, JR, Albany, Aujr. , lbClt. Artivr lloMlliilrn-Thp Contending Forres .Meet In a Tunnel nnd n llullle r.nsnes. An Albany despatch, last cveniug, contilucd Ibcse particulars: The following is a cuminary of the operations along the line of the Susquehanna Railroad and in tli is city for the day: Master Mechanic Blackball, iu command of one hundred and llfty men, under direction of Superintendent Van Yalkcnburg, of the Ramsey section, at dawn this morning resumed his forward movement from Bainbridge. The enemy, becoming alarmed, had left the line clear to" the tunnel, and conse quently the deposed Ramsey olllclals were placed in occupation again. At 10 o'clock this morning each party stood watching the other all the time, each fearing to begin hostile demonstrations, but at the same time evi dently prepared for the worst. At 11 o'clock to day the Erie force at the tunnel had been greatly augmented, occupying the entire ground. Gov ernor Hoftman isatVest Point. Comptroller Allen telegraphed to him to-day representing the necessity tor the interference "of the strong arm of the State to repress disorder and prevent riotous demonstrations. The Eric locomotive Roswcll McNeil, which was captured at Baiu bndge. arrived at the depot at 11 "JO this morn ing, and was received with great applause. The Sheriff of Otsego county came dovn to Colliers this morniug in pursuance of the writ of assistance. He, with all the other sheriffs along the line of the road, have doubt less been enjoined to-day. The situation at the tunnel at 'J o'clock to-day was very interesting. The hostile forces arc on the south side of the tunnel. The Susquehanna train lays before the station. The men arc all there" patiently waiting for the next move. Despatches have been sent to nil the stations between One onta and the tunnel to victual the army of occu pation. The Erie raiders are "cm ai iped m a strip of woods on the curve below the station. The men are mainly mechanics. They say they have no disposition to fight, and prefer the quietude of the cool retreat they have tound. Admiral Fisk is directing their movements from this city. The raiders brought a telegraph in strument with them, but the wires having been cut ou each side of them, communication was interrupted. The Erie locomotive was thrown from the track by means of a new patent frog. At the same time, the Susquehanna train which was laying oft ou a side track, ran down behind the raiders, thus cutting off their return. By this inameuvre not ouly the locomotive but the men with it were captured. The prisoners arc at Bainbridge under parole. ThrntvinK a Train (Ml the Trnek. The Tribuiit published the following from Albany: Blackall was in readiness for them at Baiu bridgc. The Erie car came cautiously ulomr the road, but not with sullicieut caution to avoid the trap which had been set for them. Just as they were rejoicing at their arrival in the yard at Baiubriilge, they found the front wheels of their locomotive iu the mud! The Erie locomotive was thrown from the track by means of n new patent frog. At the same time, the Susquehauna train, which was lying on a side track, ran down behind the raiders, thus cutting off their retreat. By this inameuvre, not only the locomotive, but tlie men with it, were captured. The prisoners are at Bainbridge, under parole. The Sheriff at Broome county was with the party, aud was im mediately served with an injunction order. By this time morning had dawned, and Black all resumed his forward movement. The enemy becoming alarmed, had left the Hue clear to the tunnel, aud consequently the dispossed Rimsey otlicials were placed in" occupation again. At 10 o'clock this morning the hostile parties stood watching each other at the tr.nnel, each fearing to begin hostile demonstrations, but at the same time evidently prepared for the worst. The Ramsey party say they will not precipi tate hostilities, but if assaulted they will defend themselves to the last. Instead of attempting to drive back the raiders they propose rather to tear up the track, and prevent any further ad vance ou their part until such time as the law shall place them again in possession. The towns will now see the bluuder they have committed in selling their stock. The raiders could not wait for the determination of the courts in the matter, but chose to disturb the business of the road by violent measures. Their cause is a des perate one, aud calls for desperate means. THE FRENCH CABLE. An Incident of the Tovniin-The Cnlde Breaks in a .storm It is liuoyed aud Picked C. From the diary of the correspondent of the Loudon A' fes, we quote a part of the account of the partiug of the cable on the 1st of July. He says: The wind had increased in the night, and now it was blowing a gale, and in order to keep the stern of the ship directly over the line of the cable, it was necessary to back her almost at full speed directly against both wind and waves. This, of course, made her kick aud heave now and again tremendously, and three or four times she shipped green seas over her stern, fairly drenching those on duty there, and breaking the little gallery around the stern V wheel, which certainly is not less than thirty feet above the level of the water. Orders were given to be in readiness to buoy the cable if necessary; but, as the fault was pronounced to be close at hand, the process of picking up was continued and most successfully and uninterruptedly con tinued till about five kuots had come on board, when a heavier sea than usual striking the ship, she gave a kick so sudden and severe that the cable was unable to bear the extra strain thrown upon it, and it parted on board, some two hundred feet beyond the drum. All check being thus suddenly re moved from the cable, the drum began to revolve with great rapidity, and the broken end to make frightfully rapid "progress towards the stern of the ship, over which it would have disappeared in a very few seconds had not the stout fellows on duty'with the stoppers put forth their utmost strength, and so managed to save the French Atlaulic Cable literally by a few inches. The buoy was in readiness, and "in an incredibly short space of time the buoy-rope was made fast to the end of the cable, and the buoy itself cast adrift. Two other buoys were then let go one by the Great Eastern and another by the Scan dinavia to serve us mark-buoys should any accident befall the buoy which held the end of the cable and grappling become necessary. July 'J. By t o clock this morning '"the tem pest had dwindled to a calm," and all being pre pared, a boat was lowered with a few expe rienced "hands" iu her. who soon managed to attach the chain of the buoy to a stont rope con veyed lrom the ship. The latter was then cast adrift, and once more the cable, banished for a time, was hanging from the Great Eastern. Pick ing up then commenced, and by half-past seven the end of the cable had come over the stern of tlie ship, and an hour later the electricians pro nounced the fault to be ou board. Splicing com menced forthwith, and by half-past 10, to the unspeakable delight of everv one, we were again "paying out" and making our wav west ward, i'hls was the first time iu the history of submarine telegraphy that a cable had been cut, buoyed, and picked up again iu such deep water during tlie process of laying. Although, as an engineering feat, it is not to bo named with the famous grappling of 18Ud, still as an accomplished fact it is scarcely loss important. We had already seen that in calm weather, with tlie necessary machinery, there was no real dilli culty in picking up a cable of 2500 fathoms, and now Sir Samuel Canning had shown us that, should the weather be unfavorable for immedi ate recovery, it was comparatively easy, In skill ful hands, to buoy the cable in a gale of wind, and then, when the storm abated, to pick up the buoy and resume operations. The fault has been cut out and examined. It diffors in no essential matter from the two previously described. Their mode of occurrence nuzzles everybody. and, ulUiougii many iugeuious iliooiios have j Dteu trcacLcu, none vi uieia win "com water." 1' I .- A X C Mi AM1 CQ31M OmcB or nut evening TrtronApn, Wednesday.
