SUICIDE INMOYAMENSING
The Oallow Cheated of its Due
Snyder, the Murderer of Car
ter, Drowns Himself in a
Ducket of Water
Coroner's In
vestigation. i:tc, I'tc Etc., KtoM i:ic.
Another murderer has been added to the list' of
''nuleldcs at Moyamenslng Prison, that contains the
names of such criminals as Christian Merger and
tieorge S. Twitcliell. Joseph Snyder, the murderer
of Richard K. Carter at Falrmount Park, on Satur
day last, was found dead In his cell at Moyamenslng
I'rison this morning. He had drowned himself In a
backet or water. The man who so wantonly mur
dered a fellow-being had chosen thus to rush Into
the presence ot his Maker with the heinous sin of
his own death upon his hands.
Unyder was found by the keeper on bringing him
Ids breakfast lying stretched out full length upun the
floor, his face downward, and his baro feet towards
the cell lor. Ills head was not to bo seen; but.
overhanging where it lay was a heavy beam, ami
under it was a bucket. The arms of the dead man
were bent and rigid, resting upon the floor as sup
ports, while the hands were clenched and purpled.
The examination of the Doctor showed that life was
extinct, and the body was not disturbed until the
arrival of the Coroner, jury, aud attendant reporters,
at 11 o'clock.
'J he heavy frame-work, consisting of two beams
that formed the bottom of the regular cell-bunk or
couch was then lifted up, and the faco of the dead
man was seen to be resting in the bucket.almo.st full
of water. The body was then overturned upon the
floor and the ghastly face of the suicide was turned
upwards towards the heavens. It was a horrible
night to look upon the contorted features, stamped
with the imprints of the death agony, the congested
Mood purpling the entire face, with the water drib
Ming down from his grey beard. The prayers of our
citizens have been for weeks oll'ered for more water,
and yet this man used It to murder himself and cheat
the gallows of Its due.
The suicide was cunningly planned. The bucket
must have lirst been put in place, the beam laid with
one overhanging end resting upon the bucket, and
then as the man stretched himself at full length
upon the floor, with his face over the bucket, he must
have pulled the beam down upon his head, so that
It would effectually hold his face In the water, how
ever he might struggle or his will falter.
The Coroner's investigation was then proceeded
with in an adjoining room, aud the following evi
dence elicited :
William 11 tirutib, koeper, nworn-This morninit about
twenty ininutos of 8 o'clock when I went to tlio coll to give
Knviior his breakfast, 1 found him in tlio condition stated ;
1 called in the lieputy Superintendent and he called tba
KiiDerintendent; ISnydor'd wife saw him last yesterday
Hfternoon. and she then aaid to him that would bo the last
time lie would Bee him ; that led me to have suspicion,
and I kept a watch on him ; I saw him last at o o'clock last
veninu; his wife, I believe, had no idea of his com
nnttniB fuicide; she was only reproaching . nun
tor his doings, and for having the loaded pistol :
we du not put two such convicts in a ceil together, as in
stances have Deen known of one murdering another; hny
lcr said there was one tiling be had forgotten to tell his
liis wife - it was about a building ass.ciation; I said she
would be dow l again in a few days; he had drowned him
elf 1 found I Ins morning, by holding his faco m a bucket
hi water: such a bucket is always placod in each cell, and
each cell has also a hydrant of water; I found him tins
morning dead, nt about 2) minutes t 8, when I went to
tive him his breakfast : I saw him yesterday about n
o'clock; visited liimjthe las one aiterwards; wuen I saw
liiw last the bunk board was in its place, and the bucket
"'w'llHam 11. Torkins, Superintendent, vorn-I saw Sny
der day before yettor lay; asked in in how old he was, and
aaid he was too old to do such a deed ; he said he had dono
it in a moment of excitement; yester iay afternoon J ex
changed a few words with him. ami this morning found
Into in the o ndition seen by the jury, and lelt him in tnat
Iiosition, as the doctor said ho was dead ; we do n t open
the cells at night, owing to the rungerof a conspiracy to
break jail 1 have ordered . Je watchmen never to go single
handed toa cell on an alarm ; Mr. O.unli was tie last man
who saw Snyder; the buckets are always cust .imarily
left in the eel's to catch drippings and to
wash in; we give the prisoners that kind
ot buckets, as they nave no iron bandl to break away so
as to commit suicide. The bunk-board probably weigaed
forty pounds. 1 suppose Snyder put the pucket the.-e;
then laid down and pulled the bunk-board down upon
himself, so as to hold nis laco down in spite ot his dyin
strangle ; we have had always fenr of prisoners committing
macule, but tins is tlio lout and the oddest nay. A few
ears ago we had a t.erman we::vir impriso lod. At night
lie wusn'1 right; in t lie morning lie was lying under his
loom, lie had taken a strand oi yarn from the lojm and
throttled himself with it.
Dr. I'pdegrove sworn- I made a partial post mnrttm ex
munition of Snyder's body; 1 opened the cavity of f ie
chest and examined the lungs; 1 found them very much
congested, presenting such evidences of strangulation or
nutiocatinu as we would expect to find in cases o.' drown
ing; 1 also examined tlio heart, and lound it sound and
natural; in my opinion the man came to his death lrom
drowning. ,
Benjamin F. Mutcher sworn I corroborate the doctor 8
testimony; I saw him this morning, about 8 '4 o'clock, aad
think he had then been dead three or four hours.
The jurv, alter a very short consultation, returned
the verdict that Joseph Snyder hail com ulttJ
Hiiiclde bv drowning himself In a bucket of water.
The body of deceased will be given over to Ills
family for burial.
B R OOKS,
The Arrented One ol'theui Threatens n Habeas
Corpus He Thinks Better of J I mid Elects to
Ntuy In Prison.
At the preliminary hearing given yesterday after
yioon by Alderman Kerr to Thomas R. Eagan, John
Stockton. Robert Hamilton, .lohu lveeuan, and
'ullan Keenan, who were arrested on suspicion of
their complicity in the shooting of Revenue Detec
tive Brooks, several witnesses having been examined
for the Commonwealth, the Alderman discharged
Julian Keenan, but determined to commit the
others for a further hearing.
L. C. Cassidv. Esu.. representing Thomas R. Easran.
Haul there was nothing submitted agaiust his client.
and therefore demanded his discharge. The testi
mony In regard to this man was to the eirect that a
ehort time alter the shooting of Mr. Rrooks, Kagan
went to Rrenade's store, No. 233 North Frout street,
wranoed two pistols in a piece of paper, and left them
for Mr. Stockton; ami when he was spoken to about
the shooting he said he had known two weeks hvfore
that it would occur, and that Hrooks deserved It.
Under these circumstances the Alderman refused to
release him, but committed him with the others for
a further examination.
Mr. Cassldy then gave notice that he would take out
a writ of habeas corpus for the discharge of Eagan,
and brlnir It before Judge firewater this morning.
This having appeared In the morning papers, there
was much interest evinced oy uie puouc iu me pro
table result of such a proceeding, many being curl
ens to know whether a judge of the oyer ami Term!
Iier would set at large a defendant whose prellmi.
nary examination had not yet been concluded by the
committing magistrate, consequently, mere was a
large rush to the different Courts this morning, aud
the prevailing question was,"Vhereand when is that
Hearing going to take piace.
The crowd, however, had collected only for a dis
appointment, lor It was soon discovered that the
lawyers had thought better of the matter, and had
concluded not to take out the wrlt.but to abide by the
AKierman s decision.
This morning the condition of Mr. P.rooks was as.
ccrtalued to have not materially changed since ves
terday afternoon. He passed a comparatively quiet
night, sleeping tranquilly at iutervals, ami awaking
rciresiieo. mill his cuuuitioii is critical, it would
lake nut a unci wane, snoum ms symptoms become
unfavorable, for death to ensue. He is constantly
attended by his physicians, and watched with the
most BolloltuuB care. If the sympathy of the nubile
could insure his recovery, ero long he would again
be unon his feet.
As the interest in his condition increases, and the
fdre.umstauces of the cowardly attack unon him h.
come better known, popular Indignation at the crime
waxes still more intense. Various are the ejacula
tions concerning the perpetrators of the deed one
liears along the street. "The first lamp-post for the
villains !" may serve as a sample of the words. The
arrest of the dastards would allbrd the people the
highest gratification. A proud feather will bo placed
in any oillcer s cap wno secures ineir capture.
At half-past 12 Mr. lirooks was reported to be In a

Brewster.
MR. MANN'S CONCLUSION.
Mr. Mann having yesterday nearly concluded his
opening argument In behalf of the contestant., this
morning at y, o'clock the court met, and he pro
reeded to add the few final remarks of his speech.
Having mentioned a few ngures In regard to the
vote In the Second division of the First ward for the
last four years, showing that the Democratic vote
was returned larger Inst October than ever
before, he passed to the Tenth division of
the First ward, the return of which was attacked
by the respondents as unfair. There was a great
complaint made that the Republicans created so
much turbulence and violence about the poll that
the Democratic voters could not exercise their right
of franchise; and yet their own witnesses proved
that the greatest fairness prevailed at this poll, and
every Democrat was allowed to go to the wludow,
though many votes were rejected on good chal
lenges. Complaint was also made that the voting during
the Hrst hour was Illegally rapid, but only bl votes
were received; wblle in the divisions of the Fourth
ward 12 and 174, and votes corresponding In
numbers, were taken by the Democrats during that
hour.
The Republican witnesses proved that there were
several disturbances about the window, and they
were but quite trivial, preventing no qualified elector
from voting. While the complaints of obstruction to
the voting stood, it might lie well to look at the con
dition of the vote at this Republican poll, and see if
everything was not marked with the utmost fairness.

In the Fourth division of the Seventh ward t wo
votes were complained of by the respondents as
personations, but the contestants produced two wit
nesses who explained that these were their votes,
and the diillculty was caused by a mere clerical
error.
The Seventh division of the Twenty-sixth ward
was attacked, on the ground that upon opening the
box the book was found without any mark upon it;
but this was done away with by proof that the Re
publican oillcer could not obtain the book, and
obtained a printed list aad kept this instead, and no
fraud whatever was committed in consequence
thereof. The Eighth division of the Tenth ward
was attacked, because the oaths of the ottti-ers were
signed but had no jurat to them, no memorandum
showing by whom the oath was admluisteed, and
also that some of the otlicers were not entitled
to act, because they had not been elected. Rut they
were accepted by the Democratic otlicers with whom
they worked, and uo objection was then made, and
they could not take advantage of it; it was now too
late. Rut fraud was the only thing searched for, and
not more than a half-dozen votes lu this division
were pointed out as fraudulent, and only two or
three of these were unanswered by the contestants.
The Ninth division of the Tenth ward was attacked
simply because the Republican vote was heavy, aud
there was no allegation whatever of fraud.
The Third division of the Eighteenth ward was
also attacked because the Republican vote there
polled was heavy, and no more fraud was proved
than In the Ninth division of the Tenth ward. The
attack upon the Tenth division of the Nine
teenth ward was because of a doubt of the election
otlicers' right to act. This division was newly di
vided Into two, one called the Tenth and the other
the t ourteenth ; Mr. Addis, who had been elected
as judge ol the old Tenth, sought
legal advice as to how he should act, aud was in
structed to act in his own division and appoint a
Judge for the other; this he did, but his aopointee
in the course or one day changed his politics and
was recalled, and Mr. Addis went himself to act iu
the division to wnicn ne' nan appointed tins turn
coat; in this he was no doubt correct; at all events
his conduct was no ground tor rejecting tno divi
sion. Having closed this elaborate resume of the case,
Mr. Maun presented t the Court the following
RECAPITULATION
to show by what majorities the contestants would
appear to be elected by casting out those divisions
whtcii tney nau snowu tu oe too corrupt to ue
counted.

Here Mr. Mann closed and the Court took a rccesa
Presentation of a Portrait to Hon. James Pol
lock, DlRKCTOH OF TUB UNITED STATES MINT. SOim
after the present Director of the Mint received his
appointment f(,r the second term, a number of his
personal friends employed in that institution deter
mined tc present him with some testimonial of their
good will and esteem. The airalr was no sooner
broached than it was taken hold of by the employes
of the institution, most of whom had served under
Mr. Pollock before he was removed by Andrew John
son, because lie would not be galvanized into a con
servative, and In a very quiet manner the services
of the urtist Mr. William E. Winner were secured,
and the Governor solicited to sit for his picture, lu
answer to the many inquiries that were Instituted
vague answers were given, and up to yesterday,
none save those engaged In getting up the all air
were aware of the use to which the picture was to be
put.
The picture at length being finished, yesterday af
ternoon was set apait for the ceremony of presenta
tion. and about 3 o'clock the workmen of the illil'er
etit departments, and a uunrbcr of ladies, assembled
in the room used as 'he cabinet for coins und speci
mens of diilerent minerals, and when all was in
readiness Mr. Pollock was waited upon by the Com
mittee and requested to step into the room, which
he did. immediately after his arrival Henry C.
11 ickok ftepped forward und presented the picture
,on behalf of the employes. The speaker said :
Mr. Director: I am commissioned by the officers
mil employes of the mint, who are now present, and
whose names are Inscribed on the roll which I will
place In your hands, to present to you as a monument
of your administration, this well-executedportralt of
the present Director of the Mint, which now for the
first time adorns the walls of the cabinet. They
present It as a just und rightful tribute to your ad
ministration of this Institution, your own modesl,,
diffidence to the contrary notwithstanding, in its
permanent place on these walls it may serve also as a
proud memento of the high intelligence, administra
tive ability aud elllciency, aud that spotless, unhesi
tating personal and oillclal Integrity ou your part,
that swerves neither to the right haud nor to the left
from the strict path of rectitude and honor. If those
who lu future years shall succeed you iu this high
position, will but emulate your virtues ami your
lldelity to oillclal trusts devolved upon you, we are
assured that all will be well with this branch of tlio
National Government ami the Interests of the
people to be ail'ected by It.
Aside from the oillclal purpose of this testimonial,
these contributors desire me to say to yon, in con
clusion, and from the fullness of their hearts, that
they make this presentation as a tokeu of their atl'ec
tionate regard lor you as a generous, noble-hearted,
and indulgent benefactor and friend.
After the applause iiad ceased, Governor Tollock
came forward, and In reply said:
My Friends: It is with feelings of equal surprise
and pleasure that I now address you. Surprise at
the way you have come upon me pleasure, that I
have the opportunity of addressing you. I scarcely
know what language to use in returning you my
thuuks, for my position, on an occasion such as this,
is one of peculiar delicacy. I am not ambitious ;
that is, I have never sought to be a great man lu the
common acceptance of the term, aud yet I have ever
sought to hand down to posterity, to those who shall
have followed me after 1 shall have passed away, a
name unsullied aud unspotted by any deed or word
cruel or dishonorable In the slightest degree. On my
accepting the directorship of this institution for the
second time, I found much about It that
needed correcting, much that could not exist under
my administration, and since then my eil'orts have
beeu directed towards drawlpg arouud ino men in
whom I could repose that confidence so much
needed ; anil If I mistake not, I have found them.
(Applause.) it is not my desire to govern by oillclal
authority ; let friendship, pure and unasked for, do
its duty; ami as eacn man gazes mio me eye m ma
neighbor, let it be that he shall feel that there is a tie
existing between them which is stronger and more
enduring than the Iron chalus of oitlcial command,
in many of vou who surround me 1 recognize the
face of him who has served lu whatever capacity he
was placed with that lldelity which needs uo com
ment, and wnere, indeed, praise would be unaccep
table to those who are most, entitled to receive it.
(Applause.) To you all I owe much, und am glad to
see you ; glad to see vou here, glad to see you iu the
dust and dirt of your work, glad to see you In the
street or wherever else It may be our privilege to
meet. It. is a pleasure for mo to know that
beneath the griniv exterior ol those who sur
rouud rue ut their work, there is a
heart, which beats with that warm good-feeling that
should ever exist betwen man and man. l ie
speaker continued to speak in glowing terms of the
Importance of the respective positions occupied by
those who surrounded Him, and iu conclusion, point
ing to the picture, remarked tint it would live long
ulter those who were now here should have passed
lrom the laboring ileitis of lile; it would be pointed
at by our children's children, aud tlio recollections
of tluiBe then gone would be recalled afresh to the
mlntl ami their memories made greener by the event.
Accept, gentlemen, my most heartfelt thanks ior
your beautiiul pieseut. The speaker then retired
imild applause. ,
Tho picture, which is a very tine one, now graces
the walls of the Cabinet, and to-day has beeu ad
mired by numerous visitors.

The Inter-lnlvermty If owing Match.
By Anglo-A mcrican Cable.
lom on, Sept. 8 Tho Morning Telecrraph has an
edttotiul on the result of the great international
rowing match between the Oxford and Harvard
crews. The writer says the merits of the two sys
tems will be undecided untb Oxford crosses the At
lantic and meets an American crew on Atncrlcau
waters. If the Oxfords are beaten under such
circumstances, it will show, however close
tue maicn may tie, wntcn is the
best, the American or English styles of rowing.
If the Oxfords are victorious it will show that the
Harvards have something to unlearn. We see no
cause to doubt that the scheme will be practicable,
and It will atl'ord a fair and reasonable chance for
the Harvard to reverse the triumph. The fame of
the Oxfords and their love of fair play, it is natural
to suppose, will prompt a ready compliance with the
just expectation of America.

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE.
Whnt is it, and what will cure it? It is a fact
that will not bo controverted that Dyspepsia t
a national disease, to be found from the Presi
dential mansion to the humble cottage along tho
marshes ot the Atlantic. Symptoms There are
scarcely two cases of Dyspepsia alike. The
symptoms vary. In one case they may be cold
hands and feet, oppressive soreness and pain in
the pit of the stomach, drowsiness after meals.
In another, costiveness, heartburn (so called),
tormenting feelings, both mental and physical.
In a third, nervousness, tlio spirits depressed, a
foreboding of evil, the mind so depressed that in
some cases there is extreme melancholy, and tho
suffetcr is led to commit suicide. In another,
harassing belchings, saliva or a watery sub
stance profusely running from the mouth, throat
irritated with a dry cough, skin dry, then cold,
the 6tools clay colored, restlessness at night,
sleep easily disturbed, frightful dreams, at one
time bowels constipated, thendiarrha-aor dysen
tery, caused by foul matter in the stomach, caus
ing npoplexy and other diseases beyond tho
power of human skill to control. What will cure
it? By indigestion the food lies in the stomach
aud is decomposed by heat, etc., into a mucus;
this mucus adheres to the walls of the stomach,
until a false membrane is formed, which para
lyzes the functions of the digestive organs. To
perform a cure this false membrane must bo de
tached, and the stomach healed nnd brought
back to natural tone; without effecting this, itU
impossible to effect a cure, and in this mode of
treatment lies Dr. L. Q. C. WISIIAK FS wonderful
cures of tho Dyspepsia. The Dyspepsia Pills
remove the false lining, and tho Pino Tree Tai
Cordial heals, makiug a perfect cute of thii
dreadful disease.
TnE VIRTUES OF TAR.
A very ingenious "sell" upon the Royal So
ciety of Great Britain was perpetrated by Sir
Charles Hanbtiry Williams, a wicked wag of the
age, during the furore caused by the discovery
of the wonderful healing powers of TAll
WATER Sir Charles sent a communication to
the President relating tho circumstances of a
sailor's breaking his leg on board of the guard
ship at Chatham, and its perfect union and euro
by an application of spun oakum soaked in tar.
After the communication had been read nnd
printed in the Royal Transactions, he sent a second
letter, stating that he had forgotten to state la
the former correspondence that tho leg was a
rcooden one! Although this joke was a sore one
for the society, it did not Injure the reputation
of Tar as a remedy, for its legitimate cures were
so wonderful that odes were written in Its praise,
and the celebrated B!shop Berkely published two
voluminous works describing, eudorsin
and
registering its virtues'. From tho failure
of
scientific men, at that period, to extract
concentrate the curative nriuclole from
and
the
crude tar, its nauseousness caused it to fall Into
disuK', nna its great healing powers were lost to
mankind until Dr. L. Q. C. Wishart succeeded
in depriving the specific of its unpleasant and
cruder particles, und In his PINE TREE TAR
CORDIAL offering to the nllllcted all that was
valuable, while tho other parts were eliminated
by its careful preparation. As soon as this was
accomplished tho remedy was again endorsod by
the faculty, aud the cures were such as to con
vert its enemies und firmly establish it as one ol
the greatest blessings to suffering humanity. Its
success was immediate and wide-spread, and its
manufacture became of great importance aud a
source of wealth to its reviver. A long life was
spent for tho welfare of mankind by Dr. Wishart
in perfecting his discovery aud promulgating its
usefulness, aud at his decease (which took place
but recently) the method of preparation an
the extension of its usefulness devolved upon his,
sons. 1
