THE McFAELLICD'ITI.X.M6
NEW YOUTC, Apr. 5.-Tile McFarland trial
is proceeding to-day, without unusual:inci
dent. The prisoner preserves his usual
cheerful countenance, and most of the time
his little son occupies a place near him. -
The Court room is not so crowded as it was
yesterday, and the public interest In the
ease, on the whole, would seem to boon the
wane, but this oubtless is owing to the
mono t onous process of endeavoring to em
panel a competent jury.
When the ninth juror VMS called he was
asked by Mr. Spencer (counsel for Mc-
Farland) whether he had any such respect
for Messrs. Beecher or Frothinghtim as
would affect his judgment with reference
to any act performed by either of them,
but the Recorder instructed the juror not
to answer.
When the court adjourned only eight
jurymen had been obtained. The panel,
no doubt, will be completed to-morrow.
Aiming the spectators to-day were Thurlow
Weed, John Mitchell, Richard O'Gorman,
and several artists, taking sketches for the
pictoral papers.
Now 1 oak, April 6.-A full jury in the
McFarland case was obtained this after
noon, whereupon the court adjourned till
to-morrow, with the customary caution
from the Recorder, to keep their mindsfree
from prejudice. The proceedings in other
respects were barren of incident. The
crowd in attendance was, if possible, more
numerous than yesterday, and the desire
to catch a glimpse of the prisoner as irre
pressible as over.
511111111.011144 have been served 1110111 the
following persons on the part of the defence,

lie thought the, case could be disposed of in
two weeks.

that 111111111 sprout and ripen into an alian+
dontnent of home, husband and children
nay, as you well knoll', culminated in the
terrible tragedy we are reviewing.
1 t0111,1 . 1 111,1 reviewed the events
Mr. Richardson's life, and referred to th(
vomineneement of 1.b.; ;nninfint.:lneo will
:qrs. lcleFarlancl. Ile obtained for her a
theatrical engagement, and then went
the theatre and escorted her home, whoa
both were together locked in a 0 0 110 to
hours at a time. Ile robbed Mr. MeFar
land of one of his suns inivingin Cl'!!
away-tioil knows where; and hired room
in the same !muse With Sirs. 'McFarland
tempting her to do evil until she was sus.
pouted, and then she Ithseoluied, taking
with her the other son.
It WaS :It this time that .Mr. 'McFarland ' s
mind began to show signs of distraction.
About this time lie hegan to visit the Tri
bune °Mee to see Mr. Sinelair.
While lie was there one day, a boy came
and tossed a letter down upon the counter,
addressed to Mrs. McFarland. Mr. Mc-
Farland opened it. Tina letter told the
whole story of his misery. Il hold his
darling wife that another man had been
waiting for years to possess her who be
longed to him.
If I was to get such a letter addressed to my
wife I would shoot the writer on the spot!
•
[Tremendous applause, which lasted nearly
a minute, and tons checked with great
ditliculty by the tipstaves,] That letter WiLS
prOof-positive Of adulterous intercourse
between the parties.
Almost immediately after this we find
that Itichardsen and Mrs. McFarland were
living together in Washington street with
out oven a (100 r I.etween their apartments.
' the prisoner then breaks open his wife ' s
trunk 'and finds lilehardSOll l li photographs,
and letters, aiding and abetting her in her
crime, from Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs. Calhoun
and others.
McFarland then commenced suit to
got posession °fans children. It is do u
ed whether he was wholly sane at this
time.
The next step of Mrs. McFarland was to
procure a divorce, and Mr. McFarland
heard that a fraudulent divorce had been
obtained. This was the last straw that
broke the back of his sanity. A week be
lbre the tragedy, lie was wild. lie said he
did not know whore he had been the day
before. He was determined to obtain his
child, as he heard that Richardson and Mrs.
McFarland intended to move to the West
and be married, taking his childwith them.
This seemed to unman Mr. McFarland and
ho became furiously insane at times.
Then followed the scene in the Tribune
office. He remembers but little of it. He
was arrested andtold that Richardson was
shot, when ho exclaimed, as if awaking
from a dream, "My God ! It must have
been me!"
There was ono more event that crowned
this everlasting infamy. It was Mr. Froth
ingham, who thanked God "for what these
two had been to each other," at the death
bed marriage. He forgot the message
graven by the linger of God at Mount Sinai,
" Thou shalt not commit adultery." The
ministers who took part in that ceremony
made a great mistake.
An additional proof of his insanity would
he, that at various times before he had met
Richardson and had not shot him. Two
angels are said to preside over each man.
The dark angel of Richardson has beaten
down the wings of his good angel. He should
not gl into the discussion of the various
kinds of insanity. Ile had thought it better
to merely tell them the facts. Medical ex
ports would go on the stand and toll them
that there was insanity, but after all they
worn the best judges of whether these facts
did not show insanity.
The prisoner's wife could never expect to
be' happy again, save In her sleep, when
dreams might restore to her her earlier
happiness. But the awakening must still
come, and in a better world she might be
restored to happiness.
Virtuous woman and honorable men the
world over hoped that the verdict would be
for the defendant. As they loved and hon
ored their wives at home, they should
stand by Idin. As they regarded the puri
ty of their sisters and daughters by all that
was pure, virtuous and holy in the world,
they should stand by him, building a wall
around their homes and protecting them
from the hi 1,1, ,Lad steps of the seducer.
Let them teach these bud men that On
their steps follow an implaeable Nemesis.
[A[pplause.]
The Court then took a reooss, during
which Mrs. Sinclair held Mr. Ic•l•'arlanil
by the hand in eonversatien for some min
utes.
James Melo:LH:n.l, brother of the priso
ner, was then sworn for the defence. Ile
related the entire history of the family for
several generations.
The testimony of several witno,:os Was
then taken to connect Franois UI o Farland,
an insane man un hiackWell's With
the prisoner's hottily, to poise an insanity
taint in the family.
The following hitter from Richardson to
Mrs. Me Farland was proven and ',Mai-
Med, and read. Thu following is the hitter:

NEW YORK, April 11.
Tito mcd'arland trial was adjourned this
morning tin the rOOIII Of the Over and Ter:
in order that the calendar of the
general Sessions might;he proceeded with.
No sooner was the announcement made
than the crowd left the galleries tdf the lat
ter and rushed pelt moll through the driv
ing mill, across the Park, into the New
City I tall, and in less time than it has taken
to write this, the court-room was tilled to
its utmost capacity.
The first witness examined Mr the defence
was Mrs. Mary Oliver, first cousin of the
prisoner and a resident of Philadelphia.
She testified to the l'act that her father (WllO
bore a striking resemblance to the prisoner)
had twice attempted suicide, :11111 that be
had been sent to an insane asylum; he died
in Iti 17. Several other witnesses gave testi
mony on points likewise bearing, on the
question of insanity in the prisoner's family.
PolictOnen O'Brien said he saw the pris
oner at about noon, on the clay the homicide
took place. Prisonersaid to him, "O'Brien,
did you hear the news? That ruffian, Rich
ardson, has married my wife, and taken
her and my eillillrell awns. Ile has even
.changed the name of Illy dear buy, I homy."
Prisoner appeared quite distracted, and
would not talk about anything save the
wrongs of his family. Ile would frequent
ly threaten to kill 'himself.
On another OeellSioll witness said to him:
"'flue, if I Was you, I would 110 t bother
With that woman;" and he replied, "till,
O'Brien, you do not know how I have suf
fered." On another occasion McFarland
told him that he had been offered :510,000
, and a consulate to give up his wife, and he
f (witness) said, "Mae, you are a toll; I'd
r give up such a woman for 10,00 U cents;"
but the prisoner replied, I would not give
1111 Illy children for aeonsulato to the Court
of Heaven." At this point the COUrt ad
journed till tit-morrow.

HARTFORD, April 4.—Hartford gives
Jewell 2,859; English 3,407, and re-elects
Charles R. Chapman (Democrat) for May
or, and the rest of the city .ticket by over
six hundred majority. The Democrats
have four majority in the Common Coun-
cil.
A violent storm of rain and snow has
prevailed since noon, greatly retarding the
transmission of returns, which consequent
ly come in slowly from remote towns.
Enough is known, however, to show that
English has been elected Governor by
about one thousand majority, and that the
Democrats have probably carried the Sen
ate, although the Radicals retain hopes
that they will still have control of that
body by a reduced majority. So far as
heard from, the Democrats have gained in
all parts of the State, their net gain being
886 in forty-six towns, scattered through
six counties. Governor Jewell concedes
the election of Mr. English, and the Radi
cals generally have concluded to live under
a Democratic administration during the
corning year. 'rho Democrats are jubilant,
cheering lustily whenever heavy gains—as
in Bridgeport and New Haven—aro an
nounced. The Democratic State ticket
ell ted is as follows: Governor, James E.
Eng 'sh. Lieutenant-Governor, Julius
I totali 'ecretary of State, Thomas M.
Walker. Tat , carer. Charles 11. Pond.—
, Comptroller, eth S. Logan.
A Legislatur was also chosen, tsunsisting
of 21 Senator and 238 members of the
Lower I louse. Last year the Senate stood,
13 Republicans and 8 Democrats, and the
House of Representatives, 1:f1 Republicans
and.lo3 Democrats. In the last Presiden
tial election the vote stood: Grant, 50,000;
Seymour, 47,051—Grant's majority, 3,045.
In the Gubernatorial election last year, the
majority for Jewell, Republican, was 411.
11A ivryonn, April 6.-1•'ull returns from
the election in Connecticut show that the
majority for English is 810. The vote for
Jewell was 43,320, and for English, 44,130.
Total one year ag0,1)0,575. Decrease, 3,125.
The Radical vote is 2,173 less, and the Dem
ocratic vote 052 less. The Sonde stands
eleven Radicals to ten Democrats. Lust
year it stood thirteen Radicals to eight
bemocrats. The House stands 127 Radi
cals to 112 Denmerats. Last year, 130 Rad
icals to 108 Democrats.
HARTFORD, April NI.—A reviscl

NITRO-GLYCERINE AGAIN
Two Men Killed at ShalTner's Works
Ridgefield, N. J.
Another fatal explosion of nitro-glycer
ine occurred on Friday afternoon, on the
Hackensack meadows, at the ruins of the
glycerine works of T. P. Shaffner. A few
weeks ago an explosion at this place de
stroyed the lives of four persons and re
duced the factory to ruins. Thousands of
pounds of the explosive substance were
consumed at the time, but there remained
in one quarter of the yard in which the fac
tory stood a quantity that remained unex
ploded. The work of removing the debris
and clearing the ground was commenced
a few days ago, as has given employ
ment to a number of workmen. -Yester
day afternoon two of these men, father and
son, were removing a lot of the glycerine,
when it exploded, killing them instantly.
Their bodies, which were thrown to a great
distance frcm the spot whore they were
standing, were horribly mangled. They
' were removed by the other workmen to an
adjacent house, and Justice Miller, of
Englewood, was notified to view the bodies
and hold an inquest. This last sad illus
ration of the dangers attending the use 'of
nitro-glycerine has aroused the people to a
realization of the peril in which they were
placed by the existence of the factory in
the community, and it is probable that the
rebuilding of the works, which was said
to have been contemplated by the propri
etors, will not be effected.
iLoral futelligenre
THE MONTLE OF AERIL—In the Aban
calendar, in which the year was repre
sented as consisting of ten months of Ir
regular length, April stood first, with
thirty-six days to its credit. In the calen
dar of Romulus it had the second place,
and was composed of thirty days. N ulna's
twelve month calendar assigned it the
fourth place, with twenty-nine days; and
so it remained till the reibrination of the
year by Julius Ctesar, when `it recovered
its former thirty days, which it has since
retained.
It is commonly supposed that the name
was derived from the Latin verb, "to
open," as marking the time when the buds
of the trees and dowers open. If this were
the case, it would make April singular
amongst the months, for the names of
none of the rest, as designated in Latin,
have any reference to natural conditions
or circumstances. There is not the least
probability in the idea. April was consid
ered amongst the Romans as Venus's
month, obviously because of the repro
ductive powers of nature set ageing in
several of her departments.
Our Anglo-Saxon forefathers called the
month Oster-Monath: and for this appel
lation the most plausible origin assigned is
—that it was the month during which east
winds prevailed. The term Easter may
have come from the same origin.
It is eminently a spring month, and in
England some of the finest weather of the
year occasionally takes place in April.
Generally, however, it is a month composed
of shower and sunshine rapidly chasing
each other, and often a chill is communi
cated by the east Willas. The sun enters
Taurus on the 1:0111 of the month, and thus
commences the second month past the
equinox.
FUNERAL OF REV. J.J. STRI NE-The funer
al of this venerable clergyman which took

REcnicrlON ur Btsuor Woo u.—On Fri
day afternoon the ceremonies attending the
reception of the Itt. Rev. James Frederick
Wood, Bishop of Philadelphia Diocese, on
his return from Rome, took place at the

Philadelphia. A large audience was pres
ent. At o'clock the main door of the

Scanlan, Strobel, Sharkey . , Sheridan, Arar
tin, Crayne, McCononly, and Father Keen
an, the oldest priest in the diocese. At the

hand, and attended on melt side by Rev*,
J. 11. Carter, V. 0., and Maurice Walsh,
V. G. Ott arriving at the end of the i•hurch,
the bishop ascended the dais and seated
himself beneath the canopy. The bishop,
on taking, his seat extended his hand,
bearing the ring of office, Which was kissed
by some hundreds of persons.
The Rev...lames O'Ciainor then itseeniled
the pulpit and met an appropriate address
of welcome.
The Bishop, in response, thanked those
assembled for the generous expressions of
esteem which Ind been uttered, and he as
sured them of his happiness in icing once
more among them. He hail litany inter
esting things to tell them, were Ire permit

imity of the fathers in the great council on
all matters pertaining to the faith of the
Church.
After the ceremonies were convlutled at

command of the Saviour, who had said
" If thy hand or thy foot Mfend thee, cut
them eff and cast them from thee, it is
better for thee to enter into life halt or maim

Sl' I' PUS Et, B LUG LAn An EsT —T
Gettysburg Cumpiter says that immediate
ly after the burglary at Mr. Schiek's store,
in that borough, en the 25th ult., Officer
Itouzor, suspecting that the guilty party
had gone eastward, hurried on to York, and
after exhausting all inquiry there, pushed
forward to Lancaster. His suspicions were
directed to a titan named 1). B. Conrail,
who, more than a month ago, spent some
days here under pretense of buying
"Smith's Corner," making boasts as to his
moans and the extensive improvements he
contemplated; and when about to leave,
borrowing a small sum of money " to take
him home" to Lancaster, because he alleg
ed, he had mislaid or lost his pocket-book.
Mr. Rouzer's inquiries in regard to Con
rad at Lancaster led him to believe that he
had struck the right trail, and he accord
ingly arrested Conrad, just as he and
his mother were alighting from a coach at
a hotel in that city. Taken before Alder
man Fisher, Conrad was committed to
await a further hearing. Mr. Schick was
telegraphed for, and went on. Upon fur
ther proceedings, Conrad was given into
Mr. Ituuzer's hands, who landed him here
on Tuesday evening. A large crowd had
assembled at the Depot to see the party ar
rive, and the prisoner way generally recog
nized, though minus the whiskers he had
when here before. Justice Cover vommit
ted Conrad to the County Jail, to await trial
at the next Court. Sheriff Klunk has hint
securely "roomed."
It may be stated that Mr. Schick is Chair
man ofa Committee of the Methodist Church
to sell the " Smith Corner," and that Con
rad called on ldm several times in his store
and counting room to talk about the par
chase of the property. Conrad thus had
opportunities to see the safe, and, it ho
meant burglary, to get a full knowledge of
the premises. Further—we are told that
Conrail, when he left this more than a
month ago, entered upon negotiations for
the purchase of a tarot near Columbia, and
borrowed a sum of money from the farmer
"to take him home," alleging that ilk
pocket-book had been stolen at Gettysburg,
but that he had the fellow in jail for the
theft. It is also stated that the Alderman
at Lancaster was offered, first $25, and then
t , ..50, to allow Conrad liberty to go to some
hotel in that city. flow far these reports
are true, it is not for us say. ()Meer ltimzer
is " working up" the case, and lie is too
earnest and persevering to leave a link in
the chain escape him.
" N 1 EEDNVELI.." —Speedwell Forgo, situ
to in Elizabeth township, this county, is
art and parcel of the jliinecly damn in
me estate of Robert W. Coleman, doe'd
Here for upwards of a century or more
was located the Forgo of the Santo name,
which was operated until within a low
years, when from the inure extensive ope
rations of Cornwall, and its great railroad
facilities, the abandonment of Speedwell
was necessitated as the place ceased to be
profitable for the manufacture of iron. Its
great, area presents much diversity of soil,
and it is now valuable for agricultural,
grazing and stock raising purposes. Un
der the able superintendence of George
Youtz, a practical farmer, and one of the
best horsemen in the co u nty, these re
sources are being fully developed.
A gentleman well known in the sporting
annals of the county having lately visited
the place writes to us as follows :
'• llasing lately visited Speedwell Forge
we were shown some very line blooded
stock all of the HA MEILETONIAN breed,
among which were twelve colts from one
to four years old, twelve to fourteen mares
all with foal to the celebrated SPEEDWELL
Ha MBLETONIAN, a full half brother to
DEXTER, whose pedigree is so Well known
as to need no des2ription, and who is be
yond doubt, one of the finest Stallions in
the country."
"'There are, also, two three year old
Stallions sired by Speedwell, one of which
I had the pleasure of seeing exercised, and
judging from the speed he shows at his ago,
he stands a fair chance in time to compete
with the best of our trotters. A sorrel mare
three years old of much beauty and style
of action, although she has undergone no
handling, can show a gait inside of three
minutes. 'The one and two year olds are
very fine and show great prouiise as trot
ter!
There is in course of construction here,
a line half mile track for the purpose of
training the mlts and such other horses as
they now have, which will be under the
care of an experienced trainer. The exten
sive and fertile meadows afford the very
best pasta rage, and excellent water, both '
for their own stock, and such mares and
colts as may be sent here from a distance,
of which latter they always have it large
number from all sections of the country.
Mr. Youtz the manager is a prince of
good fellows, "hale, hearty and well met."
Affable, courteous and obliging, ever at his
post of duty, ready to extend every facility
and information to the patrons of the estab
lishment. Always however, with an eve
to business and withal extending a goal
old fashioned generous hospitality, and on
special occasions he dispenses a "wee drop
of old Kratzer, - a refreshment fur the inner
man as famous as his horses. As a breed
.
•
Mg establishment Speedwell presents un
rivalled attraction in point of stock an
local adaptation, which will amply rope
the trouble of a visit to any one intoreste
in horses."

of the vehicle passed over both the legs of
Mrs. Shuck. She was taken into Shaeffer's
harness store and Dr. King summoned to
her assistance. A few severe bruises how
ever' were the only injuries sustained.
"TEE A3iEnta,& BAsriLE' is the title of
a new and popular work by John A. Mar
shall, Es of the:Philadelphia Bar, and the
q
Selected Historian of the "Association of
State Prisons." This work contains an au
thentic acco cult of the arrest, imprisonment,
and terrible sufferings of American citizens
incarcerated . as prisoners of State, together
with all the orders of arrest suspending the
writ of habeas corpus, prohibiting the em
ployment of counsel, Sc. Thousands of
our American citizens wore incarcerated]
without cause 'lll dark and dismal cas
mates ; no charge of crime was ever pre
sented against them; many died in prison,
while others were let out after mouths and
years of confuiement, without knowing for
what cause they were incarcerated. It is a
handsomely printed volume of over seven
hundred pages—written in the most graphic
and entertaining style, and should be in
the hands of every lover of his country
and its boasted free institutions. Mr. J. S.
Shearer, Doylestown, pa., is the General
Agent, Agents are wanted everywhere, as
it is sold only by subscription.
A TrrwEL WoIITH fIAVINs.--Of all the Jewels
In the world there is none more desirable than
the Jewel Health. To preserve it, or to restore
It when once lost, has been the study of thous
ands and thousands s 1 nee the world begun, and
success and failure have alternated as the
changes of the moon. But one fact Ims :long
since been established, and that Is, that Impure
blood Is the fruitful source of many of the most
inveterate diseases. Among them none are
more tenacious and repulsive titan the disease
known as Scrofula, which has its origin in bad
blood, That this can be .successfully treated
has been proven recently in a number of re
markable eases. Miss Mary J. Campbell, of
this city, who suffered for many years with the
disease, was entirely cured by the use of a pre
paration called the Holden Panacea. So de
lighted was she wit h her restoration that also
became the agent in this city, and now has,
and has had for the last year, art sluice In the
southeastern angle of Centre Square, for Its
sale. She has brought the medicine to the at
tention of large numbers of persons similarly
afflicted, and has effected cures in almost every
case which she has undertaken. The certifi
cates of cares w i nch have h,ll voluntarily
[endured her are remarkable, and should be
examined by all who are salhaang testis Im
