Drunken Itrntallty.
For lome months Patriek Croean, nn Irish
laborer, hus residt d at No. 446 Vest Tweuty
eiplitu street, with his wife Julia, who Uaj also
suffered from congestion of the luno. The
wife had no medical attendance until the
Twentieth Ward Polios sent a physician, who
lotind ber on the evo of couttnement, and
having a slight attack of congestion
of the lungs. The physician prescribed
for his patient, but the persons atteuding her
neglected to eivc the medicines ordered, and
the unfortunate woman languished in conse
quence. At tbis juncture the husband, hitherto
a very temperate, well-to-do man, took to drink
and continued to indulge excessively in liquor
ever eince. Three or four niehts ago Mrs.
Cropan gave birth to a still-born child, and when
the husband returned in an intoxicated condi
tion, be became incensed at bis wile and beat
ber terribly while thus helpless and ill. The
doctor attending the woman ut Crogan in the
street and suggested his arrest, though it
was cot done. On Sunday night, Croean "aain
appeared in bis wife's room grossly intoxicated,
end beat ber again in a most shatnetul manner,
tbe injuries being such that death ensued early
yesterday morning. Crogan has siuce been
arrested, and appears to be in a state ot stupor
from excessive drink. Coroner Rollins assumed
charge of the cae yesterday, and will bold an
inquest to day. It is stated that tbe unfortunate
woman would certainly have recovered bad not
this violence been used towards her.
The Case of the Bloeknrie-Itunner Wren.
The Washington (Dec. 31) correspondence of
the Boston Journal says:
The ttcamer Wren was unqnestlnnably built
bv Laird & Co. for the Confederate Government,
and ran tbe blockado into Galveston with a
cargo. She took a freight ot cotton Ironi Gal
veston to Havana, and on bur way from there
to Hfllifax lor another cargo her crew ro9o on
the officers in June, 1865, and carried her into
Key Wist, where she was libelled and con
demned. An appeal was taken by Laird A Co.,
claiming to be her owners, and the Supreme
Ccnit here ordered the steamer's release on the
ground that, although she might have been
engaged in blockade-running, she was not so
engaged wben captured by her crew.
Just then General Caleb Cusbing
libelled the proseeds of the steamer's
sale.", which were in the Treasury lor tbe benefit
ot the United States, under the advice of the
Treasury Department, as the property of the
Confederate States; und in case it should bo
held to be the property of Laird A Co.,' General
Cusbtng also libelled it in behalf of tha owners
of a Nenburyport ship destroyed by the Ala
bdina, which Laird & Co. bad fitted out, on tho
ground that they were, therefore, responsible
lor the dannges which she had caused. This
suit was defended by Foster and Thompson,
lawyers in Aew otk, who hud intimate profes
sional relations with Attorney-General Erarts,
and It is now rumored that upon their applica
tion tha Attorney-General has ordered the
release of the proceeds ol the steamer without
trial. Hence the resolution presented by Mr.
Mori ill in tbe benate ot the Uuited Slates.

THE HILL MURDER TRIAL,
rilOCKEDIXGN THIS AFTF.B SOOX.
CbnMnued -on the Firtt rage.
Cbannlng Leldy oontlnued: Some one held
tbe light up towards the window, and found
blood upon the white boards of tbe frame build
ing; I judge this elot of blood was about a foot
in alameter; berore going Into the yard I saw
the poker In Officer Howard's hands; we thee
went up stairs aud into the dining room; some
one ahead of me with a candle went into tue
Utile back room, and discovered blood npou the
window; we then traced blood from this win
dow to the head of the sola; beneath
the head of the sofa, the end towards Tentu
street, was a pool of blood; the cushion at ttio
head of the sofa had blood unou 11; the wall had
blood upon H; midway between the euds of the
sofa was a piece of carpet with the end turned
up: we nntoided It ana found a pair of specta
cles ljlDg uson It; this was a single wluta of
car put, lying Defore the eou; the fbior was cov
ert d with oil cloth; there whs uo light lu the
little bark room; the furniture In the dining
room Old not seem to be disarranged;
one of the prongs of the speetaolei
was bent and tbe eyelet at the end of the other
was broken; we went down Into tbe kltcnnn;
there were some three or four lu the room, wao
thought It proper that Mr. Xwitehell bhuutU oe
taken into custody; Officer Howard luiitnjitait
that to Mr. Xwltcueli, and tbe latter sMd
he would like lo char ge bis cloiulni; he then
had on a dark suck coat aud a iitjut under
shirt; I did not see any While muslin
or linen shirt or collar on him;
when we returned from the dining-room to the
kllchen Mis. Twllohell was still at the head of
tue bony; when be and the officer Oitme down
the ollicer oalltU upon some one logo with
Mm, uiid, at Mr. Morrell's suggestion, I wniit
to tne station house wltn theiu; ulterwards I
returned to the houso lor a short time aad then
went home. Not crojs-examined.
Ollicer George W. Howard sworn On the
niKht of the murder ot Mis. Hill I was nt the
northeast corner of Tenth and flue streets, at
a quarter to 10 o'clock; I was coming up Tenth
street, and understood that lb .re was some
thing tbe mailer in that house, and so I entered
and passed Into the back kitchen; I saw Mr.
Twitchell there, and the body lying upon tue
seltte; he was bathing ber bead; he asked me
to go for a doctor, and I told hi in tdere was no
need for a doctor, as she was dead; after
I bad been there five or ten minutes I
asked the servant girl if she would
nolgo.np stairs to see if tue window was raised,
and she did as I requested; 1 learned that the
window was up, aud went out and discovered
blood upon the pavement; Mrs. Twitchell was
In the room; after a short time I went into the
yard, and young Mr. Morrell, who came out
with a candle, picked up a poker in the vard;
tbis is the poker (the lnstrnmeut was shown to
tbe witness); 1 looked up and saw blood on the
side of the house; there were a couple of small
pieces of bone lying In the blood which was
under tbe east window; I came to the conclu
sion that a murder bad been committed, aud
went vp stairs to make an examination; in
this little room I found blood upon the wlndow
slll from the floor up, and tracked tha blood on
the oilcloth from tbe window to the h"Ia in tbe
dlnlng.room.and found blood on tbe Pine street
wall and Tenth street wall; the windows and
blind In tbis little room were up; the blinds In
the dining-room, were down; there was a drop
light In this room which was burning; we.
found a pair ofsuectaoles lying on the floor in
front of the sofa; there was a rocking chair
between the beaii of tbe sofa and the west wall,
and I observed cigar ashes on tbe window-sill
at the bead of the sofa; I do not
know whether there was a fire burn
ing in tbe room; tbe furniture in
tbe room did not appear to be much dis
arranged; there was blood on one of tbe chairs
totbeleltof the end of the sofa; I asked Mr.
Twitchell If be was tbe only man In the house,
and be said he was; I also asked him If he ever
saw tbe old lady He on that sofa, and be replied
"No;" I said, "Don't She make, a practice of
lying there?" and he answered, ' Once in a
while;" I told him to put bis cap on, for I was
going to take him to the Ktatlou House; he said
he wanted lo go upstairs toebange bisololhlng.
andl went up with him; befuieaolng up be had
on a gray undershirt, light pants, uud brown
cost; ue bad on no linen r muslin shirt, and I
did not observe any while cottar on him; he
bad boots on; I went with him to bis- bed
room, next to Mrs. Hill's room, In the
main building; here he put on a white shir t,
black cloth vest, and the same coat he had on
down stairs; on entering tho room he opened
the door, aud there were two dos there, bark
ing all the time I was lu; we came down stairs,
and be went to a closet aud put ou a dark
overoout: and then we wen', to the Station
House, where he was locked up; going to the
station House be said be was lunooout, but he
did not bUtuo rae lor doing my duty; 1 asked
blra bow that blood came ou that white shirt,
end be said he got it from carrying the old
lady In from tbe yard; I told
blm I thought 11 couldn't be possible; there
was also blood on his vest and pantr-; after
locking blm up I returned to the bouHe and
remained until about 11 '-g clock, when Oflluer
Warnock and I went back to the Station House,
taking the poker with us; Mr. Twitchell, Hr.,
came to tbe liouse after I bad come back from
the Station House; when I left at H o'clock
Mrs. Twitchell and her servant and Mr. Twit
chell. Br., and Bergeant Cunnington, with Seve
rn 1 efQcers, were there; when we got back to the
Station House Mr. Warnock and I took the
prisoner ont of his cell end searched him; there
was blood upon the bosom of his white shirt,
npon bis cloth vest, upon his pants and eoat,
and several spots upon bis boots; we sent to his
bouse for a ohange of clothing, and made him
take these off and give them to as.
Cross-examined I oould not bear thedops
bark until Mr. Twitchell opened tbe door of bis
room; they came at me barking, and I kept my
eye on them lest they should bite me; I did not
see tbem on tbe bed; 1 think they went nnder
tbe bed; Mr. Twitchell took bis watch and
chain from tbe bureau; the gas was lighted la
tbe bedroom; I do not think he said that he
would keep but a moment; It was only a short,
time, however; l cannot positively say where I
first saw blood upon Twltohell's shirt, whetuer
In bis room or at the Station House; I do not
recollect saying that the first I saw of it was at
the Station Houue; I asked blm twice bow It
came there; and both times be said he got it
carrying the lady In; I told him that
could not be, but did not add that I thought so
because be did not have this shirt on when he
carried her In; I think I first called bis atten
tion to it at the Station House, and asked him
bow be got 11 on; the gs was lighted, and the
Sergeant was there; I disremeinber whether
the Seigeanl was present when I asked how he
got tbe blood on bis shirt; the Sergeant put his
baud on bis shirt when I brought him In; I dl4
remember whether 1 asked him in
the presence of any third party except Mr.
Warnock; tbe secoud time I asked him he gave
me the same answer; there may hitve been a
half hour or several hours between the time I
first afcked him nnd the second time; I do not
recollect whether the sergeant was the first ni tn
whom 1 told thut I bad found blood; both times
I attked him he made the samaauswer; he ap
peared lo take no particular notice of it.
In answer to a Juror I did not see blm wash
his bands after bathing her heard.
William 11. O. Morrell sworn In the month
of November I resided at No. 92S Pine street,
directly opposite the back building of Mm,
Hill's boute; I was attracted on I his night by
tbe ringing of my door bell, and llstoninar. I
beard a woman's volne saying that Mrs Hill
didn't feel very well, and they wanted some of
ns logo over; I went over at about ten minutes
before ten o'clock; met Mrs. 'i'wltchefl in the
hall aud with ber passed Inio the kitchen;
there I saw Twitchell sitting at the head of M rs.
Hill, who was lylntronasetiee, and Iastted him
bow this was lie answered, "Bbe ba fallen out
or tbe window;" when I saw she was dead I
said, "Howls this, that she should fall out of
the window and hurt herseirso?" he raised his
bands and exclaimed. "My God I Mr. Morrell,
how do I know?" I said uo more to him that
evening, but proceeded to examine tbe pluoe,
to fee;now she could have fallen.
Here tbe Court took a recess until 3 o'clock.

J MEAN SENSATIONL
A Iast Rsert to Obtain Good Itotise.
From So'elook this morning until the time
tbat we goto press, there has been a long line
of young men extending from Trumpler's
m nsle store, on Chesnut street, to near Ninth
street, and a passer-by would naturally lafer,
Iroms large placard lu the window, staling that
the sale of tickets for tbe engagement of Mrs.
Scoti Slddons at tbe Academy of Muslo would
commence this morning, tbattbese gentlemsn
were waiting their turn to obtain seats. But
bad they looked In a morning paper of to-day
I hey would bavaseen tbe following advertise
ment, wbtcb would in reality account tor the
pretence of so many men;
S-WANTEl-FirtT(50) Inreltlffsnt, genteel msn
for light sua recpfotabls employment; salary, (sis
oollurt) per (Truing; will only be employed during
tha boors ot tevsn aud tsn o'clock eaoh evening.
Apply from 10 to llo'o.ock thli (Tutaday) morning,
at Truoiplnr's Muslo bloie. (jheioat street, betweva
Ninth sod Tenth.
From this It will be seen that tbe at ent of this
young lady, findlrg that toe prospect for good
bouses was not very fUtterlng, resorted to a
dotlge tbat not only inconvenienced those who
applied for tbe position, but would be the
means of deceiving the public la general. The
Idea was tbat any one pasting would believe
that tbe seats weie being sold vary rapidly,
Which would Induce hundred of others to pur
chase ticket; but we are glad lo say that but
few purchnseis were on bnud, as the applicants
for the light and respectable employment"
were so numerous tbat, np to the hour last
mentioned In tbe adverllsoment,tbere was still
a long line left.
Huen schemes are unbecoming to one who
professes to Inherit tbe ability of the great
Sarah Slddons, aud we are greatly surprised
tliata gentleman ooenpylog tue position that
Mr.Trumpler holds In mis community should
recognize such a transaction. On Inquiry, we
are led to believe tbat tbe author of the adver.
tlaementwss tbe same Individual who a few
years since received a reprimand In open court
for start Hub tbe mothers of ibis city with a pla
card which was posted all over the walls, noti
fy lug them to beware of tbe child stealer. A.
be was then arrested, would It not be well to In
terpose the strong arm of tbe law In this ease?
Mrs. Blddons claims to be a descendant of the
great Kenible family, and she la trying to make
the most of ber name. From the orltlolsms
tbat sbe has received In other cities we'Jadxe
tbat she has BOt given evidence that she pos
sesses and of the ability of ber family. If she
wants to retain ibe good will of the oommunliy
sbe bad belter secure it In a quiet way. Tue
people of Philadelphia are not going to be hum
buijged, and they are not going to believe that
sbe is a great actress because ber name is
Slddons.
In connection with this matter a paragraph
bus been goinu; tho rounds of the press, to trie
etleet Hint a Philadelphia gentluman, who has
seer and appreciated the ubilltles of Mrs. Scott
Kiddons, had made a perrqaneut arrangement
Willi her by which sbe was to appear in all the
cities of the Union, ut bis expenso, upou a
salary of Sl'iUO per week. The Item also stated
tbat Mr. Albert II. Cusslday was to be her busi

On tbe frosty air.
And we'll sing with glee
Of the sights we see;
Clothes for yon and me,
Jast the things U wear.
Good old Jaok Frost,
We know to oar cost,
Oar path hath crossed,
And he freezes oar nose.
No matter, old Jack,
For your frosty track;
We'll pat on oar back
Some good warm oloUies.
Oh 1 GREAT BROWN II ALL!
Both short folks and tall
May joyfully call
For the clothes they need;
From miles and miles
To the stately piles
Of magniifoent styles,
Folks all proceed.
"Tis a holiday Joy
To take your boy,
And let him enjoy
T11K GREAT BROWN HALL,
And see the child
With delight grow wild
At the garments piled
For good boys all.
'Tis an excellent plan
For the grown-up man,
Whenever he can, ,
To give us a call,
And notice the price
Of the goods so nice
For the frost and ioe,
At the GREAT BROWN HALL.
SSrWe're going to take stock t

Two bodies, or paits of bodies, were taken

alieiuoou. One ot tbem was that of a mau
bitviDg the picture of an eacio on the left arm
bow the elbow. Tho eagle is spieud across
the arm, lnsteud of leni-thwiee, as is usually the
cae. The other was a portion of a body, and
was terribly burned and disfigured. It w i n
f or-fcibie to tell even whether the remains were
tbote of a man or woman.
Id this connection, tue following incident
ot that appalling disaster, taken from the
KvaLtvillo Journal, will be read with paiurul
interest:
"From Captain Dick Fowler we learn the
followiDK thrilliug incident: Bueinff a mother
aad daughter about to leap Into the river as
the stern cf ths boat was swinging toward the
chore, be restrained their impetuosity until the
stern of the boat bad swung near tbe shore.
Kach bad a life-rreserver properly arranged.
He bade thm both leap into the river, which
they did, and ust as be was about to folio v
ttnr txample, a woman rushed out of the
cabin upon the guard, when, seeing him, she
appeared to oecome ternaeo, aua rusnel
into a stateroom. Thinking tuat ho might be
able 10 tav ber, be ruelied to tbe stateroom
door aud called to her, pajinr that if she would
couie quickly he could save her. Ihc room was
full ot smoke, and be could ecc nothing. lie
called ber the secoud time, but received no re.
i-ponec, wbeu tbe thickening smoite aud ap
proaching flame drove him overboard. The
lerrtued woman win lost. When he reached
the shore be lound matber and daughter cling
log to tbe willows, more dead than alive. They
weie helped out and saved. This was ouo of
many ai pallirg Incidents ot the disaster.
