as follows : I

: received a dispatch from Fort Hamilton,
; statirg that two meu, named Wm. Mosher
' ""l"'
and Joseph Douglass, were shot and killed
there last night while attempting to cum-
I mit a burglary. Douglass, before dying,
! declartd that Mosher knew ail about
C'harl.-y Ko., stolen from Philadelphia.
A detective was at once dispatched from
I the Central oftice to identify the burglars,
j Mosher is supposed t-i be the man who
; wore goggle" and induced th" boy to go
lUto the huggy.
I lie burglary was attempted on the resi
! deuce of ex-Judge Rulett Yanbnint, on the
Coney Island plank road, at Bay Ridge,
I L. I. The Judge saw them endeavoring
to force an entrance and fired two shots,
both of which took efli tt, one killing Mosh-

Douglass that he died in an hour after

The confession of Mosher, the dying
burglar, was made to Riclnnd Heiken, a
sailor living m ar, who was aroused by the
alarm. He said Mosher was a married
bad six children, but he never
knew where n,e KOK8 ciuKl was concealed,
The men are In-lieved to have beer, river
pirates. A boat was found moored to the
shore about half a mile from jhe Van
Brunt residence.
It appears on effecting an entrance to
Judge Van Brunt's residence, the thieves
sprung a burglar alarm, which connected
w't' me adjoining residence, and aroused
! at two of the pursuing party and ran.1
They were theu fired upon with the b fleet
stated.
Nfu ork. Dec. 1.,.
Intense evcit nient has prevailed all dav
at police headquarters in :his city and at
the Brooklyn Morgue, wh-re lie the bodies
of the two burglars shot at Bay Ridge.
Eager crowds have surrouided both build
ings in thf expectation of some new devel
opment as regards the nissiug Charlie
Ross. On the conc!u.-;o! of the examina
tion of the bodies, this :-rtcnooii, by the
Coroner's physician, th-- r-wd in tlie room
were ordered to vacate Me placi on the
entrance of three gentlemen, who quietly
looked at the bod us and dun went to a
room adjoining that in whi.-h the corpses
were. These men were Chief lleins, of
Philadelphia; Mr. Lewis, uncle i f Charlie
Ross, and the man, a citizen of New York,
who some months ago met Mr. Mosher iu
the streets of Xew York wit'.i the missing
child. lie had been ou the lookout for the
boy, and so impressed was he with the
great affliction that came on the family in
the loss of their child, that liu was unable
to rest without making a search for the
boy. lie dreaded that a like affliction
might come on himself. His wife was
worried almost to death, thinking that such
a crime could be committed and the perpe
trators escape. One night, while passing
along the street scrutinizing the face of
each child he met, he came upon Mrs.
Mosher aud the boy. He immediately re
cognized the boy with her as the child
Charlie Ross. He accosted the woman.
She pretended to be a stranger. He offered
accommodation for her aud her child iu a
hotel without letting her know his suspi
cions. While at the hotel he notified In
spector Walling. That official visited the
woman, but after examination allowed her
to go. This man was positive that the
child with her was the boy. The inspector
at the time laughed at him, and was in
credulous ol his story. Since then he as- j
certaincd tbat the man was right, and lias
used every means in his power to obtain a
clue to the whereabouts of this woman.
Of course the woman told her husband,
and he, confiding in his "pa!," rehearsed
to him the narrow escape he bad. This
substantiates Douglass' story. Later in
the afternoon two womer. came to the
Morgue with a member of the Harbor
Police. One was Douglass' sister, the
other, it is supposed, Mosher's wife. They
identified the bodies. The one supposed
to be Mrs. Mosher said : It's a shame j
they shot more thau once. No matter
what they did, they should not have been
killed like dogs !"' The two women came!
from New York. Still later, the uncle of j
the boy Charlie, accompanied by Charlie's i
brother, Walter, visited the Morgue in !
company with Captain Irving and other i
detectives of New York. The room was
cleared, and the boy Walter viewed the i
bodies. lie was unable tocxpressany posi- j
tive opinion concerning the identity of the I
men. Pointing to Douglass' body, he said : j
"I think he is one. of them."

According to promise made
before leaving Sunbury, I resume my epis
tles to your worthy paper, trusting tin y
will he acceptable to your readers and the
editor and proprietor of the Aian-win.
Our Matt Ji'i-jlils friends of Washington
and aeioss the Potomac River are getting
bold, and since the election their utterances
have the old ring, and are not at all com
plimentary of anything that savors of the
Union. It is proper that the dead should be
decently interred, and their faults with
them, but blazon them forth and justify
acts that have brought desolation alnnst
to the whole country, is, to say the least,
in bad taste, and shows that boasted
Southern chivalry has no honor. I am
led to these remarks by the ceremonies had
upon the removal of the
UKliKL DEAD
on Tuesday of last week. I give you the
account of it as taken from a paper pub
lished iu Washington. The real feeling of
those who participated in the "late un
pleasantness" is shown by the proceed
ings :
"On Monday and Tuesday, July 12th
and 13th, 1801, an attack was made upon
Fort Stephens, fin the north side of Wash
ington, by a column of confederate troops
of (ten. Early's corps, under the immediate
command of den. Oordon, now Senator
from Ceorgia. Quite a number of soldiers
belonging to the Union army were killed
iu the engagement and their remains were
afterwards buried in Battle cemetery, which
was laid out on the. 7th street road, near
Fort Stevens, for that purpose.
There were also a number of confederate
soldiers killed, and their remains were in
terred ou a farm near the fort where they
tell. A few by Rev. J. B. Avtritt, pastor
of (trace (P. E.) Church, situate about two
miles above Silver Springs on 7th street
road, resolved to gather up the remains and
remove them to the above named church
yard for interment, and steps were imme
diately taken to carry the plan into eliect
and progressed so satisfactorially as to be
executeutVday.
( )n Tuesday last the bodies to the number
of 17 were exhumed and placed in six plain
coffins and borne to the church yard, where
they were this morning placed on a bier in
front of the church, and covered with a
black pall, on which was stitched a neat
cross of white muslin.
Iu the enclosure, between the front of
the church and the street, a grave large
enough for the six coffins had been dug for
the final resting-place of the remains, and a
large evergreen cross was placed at the
head of it.
At nine o'clock quite a large number of
Washingtoniaus assembled at the corner
of 0th street and Pennsylvania avenue,
aud, taking carriages, proceeded to the
church, about K miles from the city, to wit
ness the ceremony. A large number from
Rockvillc and the country round about
were also present to the number of about
.'500 persons, including many ladies. At
eleven o'clock Bishop Pinckney and Revs.
A vet ill. Williamsou and Buck entered tho
church, reciting the service commencing.
"Lord, let me know the end of my days,"
&c. After portions fif the Scriptures hail
been read the choir sang, "I would not.
live always, I ask not to stay," which was
followed by prayer, and another hymn,
after which the audience proceeded to the
grave iu front of the church to inter the re
mains, the following gentlemen acting as
pall-bearers: Cen. Cook, Henry (Jaruett,
Dr. Young, Dr. Boyle, Wm. Harmon, (j.
T. Howard, C.en. P. M. B. Young, J. W.
Drew, Col. L. II Lamar, Col. Herbert,
Wm. Stone, Col. R. Fleming.
The coffins were lowered into the giaves,
wreaths being placed upon each one, the
one containing the remains of Bland being
placed at the north end to enable the
friends to find it if they ever desired to re
move the body. Rev. Mr. Everitt read
the burial service, when the assemblage
repaired to the rectory ,a few yards distant,
where Dr. A. P. fiarnett, of this city, de
livered THE OKATION.
He congratulated those present that the
time had come when they could do justice
to the rnemorie of tb"ir friends, and per
form such ceremonies unmolested, and
claimed that they should not perform the
act coldly and with subdued spirits, lie
alluded to the mi'f of thf car, aid justified
the smith for tin ir .('(', i. Jlf mice albided

south a.s "our y.f .).'. ," cm' ,i.jf Dovig ok
"oit i'lYsiYfoif." The address occupied
about half an hour in the delivery.
After the oration, Bishop Pinckney read
a short poem full of teuder allusions to the
dead, which was well received. A vote
of thank? was tendered to Dr. Carnctt and
Bishop Pinckney, and a copy of the address
and poem asked for publication in book
form."
Two of the pall-bearers, Gen. P. M. B.
Y'oung and Col. L. (. Lamar, have done
the Southern States "some service" in the
"tented field," and now represent the "un
terrifkd" in this, as they will in the 44th
Congress. Such utterances as "our peo
ple, "and of Jeff. Davis as "our president,"
are pleasant sounds for those of the butter
nut persuasion, but to the loyal they bring
bitter recollections, and a climpse of what
will be if these people get the same control
in politics they had previous to 1801. But,
I forget. To be "truly loil" is a thing of
the past, if one judges from the tone of cer
tain papers now published.
KEKXANDO WOOD'S KECEI'TIOX.
Hon. Fernaudiwud gave a receptiou on
last Tuesday evening, which was attended
by the brilliant lights of the Democracy.
The cards to the receptiou were printed on
fine tinted paper, and read as follows:
''Justice is s.'inv but sure."
"Mr. Fernando Wood respectfully asks
your company to meet the Democratic and
Conservative members of the Senate and
House of Representatives socially on
Thursday evening, 10th instant, at 8
o'clock, in congratulations of the recent
elections."
"S25 Fifteenth street,
Washington, D. C."
In Mr. Wood's case justice is slow ; but
should it be suv, his district would be re
presented by another man. This reception
was but a part of the programme to make
him speaker of the 44th Cougress. It is
admitted that he is the coming man, and
the Sundoy (hc.ttte, speaking of his chances
says ; "The elegant drawing room wa3
crowded with the representatives of the
'horny handed Democracy,' and from what
we could judge from members, his strength
as a candidate for the Speakership of the
44Mi Congress is most formidable indeed."
The election of Mr. Wood to that posi
tion would be almost a death-blow to the
interests of Pennsylvania, and every man
ufacturing State in the Union. The ap
pointment of Committees belongs to the
Speaker, and, as a free trade man, Mr. Wood
would certainly appoint an out and out free
trade Committee on Ways and Means.
The Committee on Banking ami Currency
would be composed of hard money men,
eager for IVnton mintdrops and bullion.
Pennsylvania has had a taste of the "good
times" under similar circumstances, when
the "horny handed" were iu power, and,
from the making up of the 14th Congress,
appearances indicate a more gloomy pros
pect than that caused by the panic and the
failure of Jay Cooke.
DKMOC'K ATS IX THE HOUSE.
As yet the Democrats have done but
little crowing in the House, and that alone
by little Sunset Cox. The Hon. Samuel is
a good fellow personally and well liked by
the Republicans, therefore his darts fall
harmless.
Our member,
HON'. JOHN" B. I'At'KKK,
who was re-elected by a handsome majori
ty, while so many Republicans were swept
aside by the political whirlwind, is con
gratulated on all sides for his spleddid victo
ry, and they agree that his is the banner
district of Pennsylvania. Success makes
no difference with him. lie is here the
same unassuming man and hard worker
that he is at home, and has a kind word
for all with whom he comes in contact, and
a welcome to any of his constituents who
may visit the Capitol. Mr. Packer feels
very grateful to the people of his district
for their continued confidence, and is proud
of his noble, generous, and bard working
constituency.

SACKED MfMf -OTHER Ml'SIC SUNDAY
I1UILDINO IN NEW YOKK AND KEAL ES
TATE AM L SE.MEN TS AND I.l'XflllES
TILTf N -I'EKt II EU lifsIN Ess.
New Yokk, Dec. 13, 1ST f.
SINGING IN THE CIII KCHES.
In our boyhood days when we went to
singing shool, partly to learn psalmody,
principally to gaze on the pretty face of
Mary Jane and go home with her after the
exercises were over, we were content to fur
nish vocalism to the churches for nothing
and eve-u esteem it an honor and privilege
to be invited to make me of the choir.
In New York sacred music is fpuite an
other thing. Singing in choirs is as much
of a profession as singing in operas in fact,
the singers who delight the public in opera,
week day nights, furnish the sacred music
for the churches Sundays, and a very pretty
sum it costs a church to get such music as
it wants. The organist, for instance, in a
reasonably plain church gets 31,000 per an
uuui, the leader or manager gets as much
more, the soprano gets from S-100 $700, the
alto as much, and the tenor and bosso
about the same, or generally a little less.
This makes the quartette. Then comes a
chorus at perhaps twenty, voices who are
paid from S100 to S-'OO each, according to
position, quality ai d capacity.
These singers are almost without excep
tion professionals, who sing praises to the
Almighty without feeling, caring or know
ing what they sing their business beiug
purely mercenary. This scale of prices ap
plies only to the moderately opulent
churches the great oues double or treble
these figures. In Trinity for instance the
music is quite as excellent in character as
that of the operatic stage, and it attracts
thoosartdfi of reonl who go for that- a!orr
In many of the churches choirs of boys
arc employed. It is all well. I see no rea
son why the Evil One should monopolize
all the goods things of life. Why should
not sacred music be rendered artistically,
and why should not the best musical talent
be employed in the service of the temple V
It attracts people to peaces of worship,
and impresses them w lien they get there.
At least so say the clergymen, and who
should kuow if they don't ? Beecher's
church has a supt rb organist, Zundcl, and
a choir who simply lead the multitude, and
Talmadge docs without a choir. Th" or
gan and a cornet-player lead the people.
When 5.000 people in the immense audience-room
raise their voices tog tlier, the
effect is indescribably grand. A,1 ' speak
ing of
Ml'SIC,
the theatres of the city have ft. some
months been giving what in the tills are
called "Sacred Concerts," Sunday nights.
The value of the "Sacred Concerts" may
be inferred from the following programme :
30th sacred concert bowery thea
tre. The concert this evening will commence
with the romantic drama entitled
The French Spy,
with Mis9 Louise Sylvester as the Arab boy.
To be followed by the drama, in three acts,
entitled
Jonathan Bradford,
or the
Murder in the Roadside Inn.
To conclude with
Jack Sheppard.
In all the minor theatres dramatic per
formances, the same as on the week day
nights, have been given Sunday nights, un
der the name ef sacred concerts, and the
opera troupes have been quite as unblush
ing in the evasion of the law.
Finally the managers of the better class
of theatres entered their protest against it
iu conjunction with leading citizens, aud
a raid on the places was inaugurated. Last
Sunday night a number of them were
dosed, but the majority of them went
through with their performances.
THE SUNDAY QUESTION
is a very difficult one to manage here.
There is an euormous German and French
population, who will not yield one iota of
of their notions on this subject. They re
gard Sunday as a day not only of rest, but
recreation, and crowd into it all the amuse
ment of the week. They want their gar
dens in the summer, and halls in the even
ing their theatres and concerts. They can
not understand why, in a "free" country
they should be debarred from doing as they
please on any day in the week, so that they
do not interfere with others. They want
to observe the day in this country as they
observed it in the land they come from, and
they make a vigorous fight for it. It goes
into politics and has its effect upon all the
elections. The German of New Y'ork
knows of no question of public policy that
is so important to him, and his vote is influ
enced more by this question than by auy
other. He does not believe in religious ob
servances on Sunday, he has no s.-mpathy
with the Puritan idea in short, ;ie is in
antagonism with it all. And to him it is
a vital matter, and he fights it in every pos
sible way. It counts on election days, and
from this time out it will count more.
BUILDING AND KEAL ESTATE.
The real estate people are disturbed.
Under the stimulus of the war and war in
flation, real estate went up fearfully.
Building lots in the vicinity of the Park
were a few years ago counted fairly cheap
at 20,000, and $25,000 was not an unusual
price. They are not so high now, indeed
they couldn't be sold to-day for the half
what was paid for them. They lay dead
property. There is no use in building on
them, for there arc a thousand or more
empty houses above 42d street and three
times that number below, not goiug lower
down than 14th. I mentioned last week
the fact that then; are thousands of empty
stores aud offices. This condition of things
is easily accounted for. New York has
built houses and stores without providing
the business to fill them. She has permitt
ed Baltimore to take on part of her trade,
and Boston another part. She has allowed
the dangerous classes to take possession of
the government of the city, and has done
everything possible to check her growth
I and limit her prosperity. The Legislature,
instead of selling or filling up the lateral
canals, which never did any business and
makes heavy draft on the Erie, foolishly
keeps them up and drive away the trade
which otherwise would find the city by that
channel, and her merchants sit down on
"natural advantages" aud allow cartmen,
middlemen aud leeches generally, to suck
the substance out of the grain trade.
Iu the meantime, Baltimore and Boston
are building elevators and reaching their
long railroad arms out over the country:
and Canada is arranging to improve her
river aud canal system so as to get better
connection with the great Y est and clip the
metrop olis still more.
New York is the great commercial cen
ter of the contineut, and always ought to
lie ; but there has got to be a change of
tactics or she will lose her place, sure.
AMUSEMENTS AND LUXURIES.
As dull as are the times and as hard as
niouey is to get, it is a singular thing that
the places of amusement are better patrou
ized than ever. The opera, with seats at
S I, is crowded ; the theatres are full night
ly, aud the drinking houses and the more
fashionable restaurauts, where a dinner
costs ?i to $6, have lost none of their pa
tronage. And the retail store are doiug
exceedingly well.
There has never been a time when the
fashionable retailers sold more costly goods
thau they have this season. The jewelers
are selling enormous quantities of expen
sive goods, and the importer of silks and
laces and that class, uever sold more. And
the question is, who buys them? New
Yorkers, as a rule, are economizing, but
nevertheless the goods go. One standing
an hour at the bars of any of the great
hotels, and seeing the amount of braudy
consumed at 4'. cents a drink, wouldn't
suppose the country was suffering from
stagnation in business, and that there was
universal distress in the city. Nor would
they suppose that ft0,000 men were out of
work ou the island, and that their wives
and children were actually suffering for
bread. The two extreme come very close
to each other.
LABOR
continues unsettled aud unsatifactory. The
employers are discharging vast numbers
of men and reducing not only the time but
the wages of those they retain. The poor
fellows, driven to madness, strike the fac
tories close, and then comes hunger, cold
and desperation. This will be the worst
winter New York has ever seen. Labor
ing men who have something to do out of
New York are very lucky.
TTLTON-BF.ECUER.
Public iuterest in the great scaudal is be
ing revived, the matter having come up in
the courts. Moulton has settled the libel
suit of Edna Dean Proctor by paying the.
costs already incurred and counsel fees,,
amounting in all to about J5,000. The
public tnV' tbi nation of hiF ss a confes
sion that her case was good, hut it will he
remembered that he never asserted that
Beeeher had had criminal intercourse with
her only that Beeeher told him so. This
he still asserts. He settles because by giv
ing this publicity his counsel advice him
that he has had himself liable to Miss Proc
tor. There will he a happy time getting a jury
in the main case. Where can twelve men
be found in Brooklyn who have not formed
an opinion in this case ? It will take
months to empannel a jury, if one can be
empanneled at all. I predict that the trial
will be a farce, and that the public will be
left at its conclusion no nearer the truth
than it is now.
BUSINESS
Is still abominably dull, though there is
something doing all the time. The whole
sale people are laying back quietly and
waiting, and the manufacturers float along
by discharging half the workmen aud re
ducing the time of those they keep. Oh for
the good old times when things went with
a jump. Pietro.
