GALLOWS IW BEADING Execution of the Murderer Deal He Admits he Killed Harlan Ltist Words of the Condeuined READING, May 13.—The appearance of articles yesterday afternoon in the Reading journals with reference to the execution of John Deal, which takes place to day, had the effect of producing some excitement in this usually quiet city, which was per ceptible towards the latter part of the day by the 9ollecting of a large crowd of men and women around the prison. It had been announced that, THE INSTRUMENT OF DEATH had arrivedtrom Philadelphia and would be placed in position during the afternoon. It had:been whispered about that there would be a chance of seeing the gallows, and it was in consequence of this rumor that the col lection of people had assembled. Know ing that it would be impossible for them to be witnesses hi the hanging, they signified that they would be content if allowed to view the scaffold. The sheriff finally yield ed to their importunities and directed that the rear gate be thrown open. This was accordingly done, and in the space of an hour or so some six hundred obtained ac cess to the enclosure. It was a novel sight to them, as nine-tenths had never seen such an instrument, Reading in the present cen tury having had but three executions, two of which had occurred prior to 1810. The One previous to that of to-day took place in 1842, and the name of the doomed man on that occasion was Reinhart. The gates were closed before six o'clock, by which time those prompted by morbid curiosity NMI Withdrawn. The rope, which had been manufactured in Philadelphia, was then tested and it was found amply sufficient to sustain six men of Deal's weight =EMU= The prisoner spent the better portion of the day in reading. In the morning the. sacrament was partaken or by him, the Rev. Ileorge Ilorneman, who has charge of the Ilerman Catholic Church hero, officiating. In the afternoon this divine again called on him, and spent a couple of hours in devotional exercises. During the afternoon several newspaper correspondents visited his yell, with whom lie chatted freely.— It was almost impossible to get him, into conversation ab o ut the murder, and when he did :Wilde to it, it odds only to corrob orate the statement he made when sen tence of death was pronounced upon hind,, viz : That 110 committed the deed in self-defense.

The prisoner ilun never expressed any desire l iraf reprieve, but in his rambling yi,,tvrtilly it berlllllo appa rent that lie had dhopes that such it docu ment would ho' forties riling. On making inquiry outside of the jail. it was learned that through the intlnruro of his brother several gentlemen had lett fur Harrisburg in order to have a reprieve granted.

Ile stated lie wits perfectly willing to die, saying. (kid was his true friend. At an early hour this morning the con demned man revived the Viaticum from Father Borneman, The miserable wretch was almost iu :s state of collapse, his hands cold, his lips twitching, and his face per fectly bloodless.

Despite his livid lips and slow beating of heart, Deal evinced a disposition to shake off his languor, in proportion as the time for his violent death drew near. A simple stained pine coffin was carried into the jail at 11 o'clock. It passed, in the corridor, the priest, who was carrying out the Sacred Host, of which the doomed man had Just partaken. The preliminary arrangements were ex cellently conducted. Sheriff Albright su pervised everything in person. The con demned man had previously consigned his body to the clergy, the supposition that his brother in Lucerne county would claim it proving delusive. The religious instructions to the prisoner continued up to the final moment. The condemned asked to be despatched at 11 o'clock, but for unexplained reasons, the Slerill • declined complying. The jail re• ception room in the meantime was filled with members of the press, present from all parts of the country. At 1 o'clock . Sheriff Albright entered the prisoners cell to take him one to die, according to the duty imposed upon him by the law. am ready,' was tho response, and the prisoner walked out with an almost reel ing step, weak and staggering. He previ ously shook hands ? for the last time, with the sheriff and his attendants. Going to the scaffold be looked more like a somnam bulist than a being in the possession of his waking senses. A number present, awed atthe spectacle, covered their faces as ho passed the line of procession led by the clergy. The prisoner was supported by Father Borneman. The jury and counsel followed. There was no graveled walk over which to move. The pavement is of cobble stone. The prisoner ascended the scaffold with faltering steps. Half an hour before leav ing the cell a meal was served to him from the warden's table. It gave him temporary revivification. Upon the scaffold the condemned man simply said : "My friends, lam here to expiate a crime for which I am now sin cerely sorry. I feel that I have obtained forgiveness, and hope to be embraced in the encircling arms of my Saviour." The execution was consummated at 1.30 o'clock. The unfortunate man died with scarcely a perceptible struggle. RAILROAD MLAEGIITER Terrible Collision on the Union Pacific Railroad---Mix teen Persons Killed Outright and Twenty Wounded-- Misunderstanding of Orders Maid to have been the Cause of the Accident. illy Telegraph to Morning Patrlot.i St. Louis, May I2.—At six o'clock this morning the night express on the Union Pacific Railroad, which left Atchison, Kan sas, yesterday evening, collided when near Eureka, twenty-eight miles from here,with an extra freight train going west, by which sixteen persons were killed outright and • twenty wounded, of which latter number two will die. No manes are known at present. The wounded are being brought hero and further particulars will be ob tained when they arrive. The dead will be brought here as soon EIS the coroner reaches the scene el the disaster and holds an in quest. A special train loft here early this morning with physicians and all necessary appliances fur the relief of the wounded. Id or the care of the dead another train will leave at noon with the coroner, reporters and another relief party. Both of the loco motives were completely wrecked and their trains badly smashed. The collision occurred through the orders given to the conductors. Hudson E. 'bulge, the Presi dent, and Thos. MlKissoek are on the spot doing everything possible to relieve the sufferers and clear the track. CINCINNATI, May 12.—Mr. l ;co. Lighton, attorney for the road, telegraphs the fol lowing names from the scene of the acci dent.

The people and physicians of the neigh borhood were on the ground promptly and labored incessantly. All that human power could do has been done to make them com fortable. A. Flemming, chief engineer Of the 'Palm and Nesha railroad, is reported killed, but this needs confirmation. A misunderstanding of orders seems to have been made by the engineer of the freight train, and ho has not liven seen since the accidetit. Another train, with coffins Mr the, dead and comforts for the wounded, has just started for the seeme or the disaster.

When they saw that nothing could save the trains, thee jumped front their engine; and escaped with but a few scratches. Payment of •'Olunteer9 Under the Pre.i ===l2f==ll The Secretary of War, in a comminnea tion to the House, says that on the :id of the President issued a proclama tion railing outu VOIL/111.CerfUlTeIli41,0U0 of tit:en: and men to serve three years unless sooner discharged, for the suppression of insurreetion against the national authority, with a promise of i3lOti at the close of the service. 'rile public exigencies were, however, such as to lead to the acceptance nit this number of °facers and !ten. user the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the united States each volunteer who had entered the service tinder the proclamation is entitled to an allowance or bounty of ;MO irrespective of the fact that he might not have served at least two ymrs, US required by the act. of Congress of July 22, thin, nor have been discharged on ac count. of wounds, US provided by subse quent acts of Congress, but provided only that he had been honorably discharged.— The War Department is now called upon by the accounting officer of the Treasury to designate the forty regiments of volunteers who are to be regarded as entering the ser vice under the President's proclamation.— Being unable to determine the question the Secretary, in Executive ;lethal, submits the question of law and justict, involved to Congress, which alone appears It, be vested with the necessary power to decide the same to the•satisfaction of all concerned.— lie further says it would also appear to be siinple l justicc that all volunteers who were enlisted at any time during the rebellion, fur three years or during the war, and who were discharged before they had served out the last two years, unless they were dis charged to receive promotion, should re ceive the Hanle bounty as those who enlist ed under the proclamation of May, if they have not already received the allow ance. 'rile San Domingo 'ireaty. WAstimivoN, May 12.—The advocates of the purchase of San Domingo have been very active during the past two days, and make pretensions that there is a majority in the Senate now in favor of ratifying the treaty for the purchase of the Island.— • They say there has been a decided change in the public sentiment, and that this reac tion is felt in the Senate. Senator Stewart was busily engaged, yesterday, in making a canvass of the Sen ate to see whether a majority would vote to ratify the treaty, and out of fifty-one Sena tors seen, Mr. Stewart reports that thirty one are in litvor of annexation, and that of the remainder, not included in Ins count, at least one-half of them are in favor of the treaty. If this canvass is correct, the treaty stands a good chance of being ratified, but its correctness is questioned by the Senators opposed to such a ratification. Some action in this matter is desired by the friends of the Administration at a very early day, it being represented that the life of President Baez is in danger, unless it is speedily disposed of. Senator Sumner, who has been an active opponent of the treaty, now favors extend ing a protectorate over the Island, and an nounces his readiness to support such a measure, Which is understood to lie urged by the Administration in case the treaty now under consideration cannot be rati tied. r. Sunnier believes that the Senate would approve of a treaty \\Adeh has for its only object the extension of a protectorate over the Island, but this Is by no means certain, there being a very large party in the Senate who are opposed to interfering in any way with the West India Islands. NNW YORK, Nay 13.—A Fenian move ,lent towards Red River is posilively im fluent. I:eneral John (rNeill and hi: chief of fluor, and I ten. .J. Donnelly, of Utica, leave this evening for Chicago.— They go thither to effect a complete concen tration of the forces designed to oppose the British expedition against the Red River insurgents, and to assume command of them. The many couriers who have hith erto been reported as leaving Mr various ponits bore dispatches to those leaders, north and west, commanding detachments of the First Royal Artillery, to take part in the coming struggle. To ravilitate and has ten the fulfilment of the instructions con tained in them will be the General's first business. We learn that even now the „.. - Fenians are moving from all points toward thepted River, which is O'Neill's ultimate destination. This we learn front reliable sources. A feint may be made on the east ern frontier by another party, but Red River will lie the seine of the real attack. The Fenians have 9,001 well-armed men at Duluth, Minnesota, at the the head of Lake Superior, all ready to march when or where ordered. Two hundred and twenty-live men took the Erie train last night. 12= It is possible to lie too deeply steeped in the luxuries of modern travel. A resident of Noblesville, Indiana, formerly an army officer, had spent some months in Kansas, and recently determined upon returning to his native; heath. Before starting ho tele graphed to his friends and relatives to meet him at the depot at an early hour in the morning. Ills parents, brothers, sisters, and one who expects to be nearer than a sis ter, were prompt at the appointed place and time, but the ex-officer was not among the passengers who left the train at Noblesville. Late in the afternoon of that day, some per tions,passing a car standing switched obi' on aside track in the city of Indianapolis,heard a noise within it. The ex-officer issued thence, having overslept himself by some twelve hours, and being slightly bewilder , ed as to his whereabouts. The conductor, who had neglected to awaken him, gave him a pass for the following night to return to Noblesville in the same sleeping-car, thus enabling him to have his nap out be fore arriving there. NEW YORK, May 17.—The election to day, has been proceeding quietly. Consid erable repeating has been attempted and a number of arrests made.

He itn mediately gave bail of 350000. The U. S. Commissioner refuses to give his name. Proceedings of Congress. WASHINGTON, May 10. In the U. S.

Louisa Las a younger sister named Matilda, and the two were always seen ugeilser in vont pany with the deceased. It seems that on last Monday evening he came to an understanding with the parents of the young ladies to marry Louisa, the older 01 the two. The younger sister, Ma tilda, it appears, had a very strong attach ment for him, and supposed that he loved her the best. Une evening last week Matil da confessed her love, and said, "I cannot live without you, ' "Well, - said he. "I have engaged to marry pmr sister, and what can I do?" Afterwards he sug gested that they should go and kill them selves. She replied hy saying,, ^tih , It IVa, noticed that ever since 1.11011 he appeared low spirited.

The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide while in a state of insanity. Two Buildings Blown to A s by an Explosion. BOSTON, May 16.--Two buildings con nected with the Watertown arsenal were blown into atoms yesterday afternoon by the accidental explosion of a large quantity of shells and other war munitions. The explosion occurred about two o'clock, in the shell-house, caused by intense heat drawn from the sun through a circular skylight, which operated similar to a sun glass. It being Sabbath day there. were no workmen present, but otherwise the loss of life would have been fearful. The explo sion was distinctly heard a dozen miles in all directions. The shock was very severe, and caused great havoc among the windows for miles around, and services in the various churches suddenly terminated. Large crowds gathered to the scene of the acci dent, and through their exertions, in con nection with the firemen, the flames were kept from communicating with the maga zine. If it had ignited the destruction of life and loss of property would have been impossible to contemplate. A similar ac cident occurred at the arsenal four years ago. Hotel.

BURNED AT SEA The American Ship Sunbeam Destroyed on the Pacilic-410ments of Horror— The Vessel Sinks Within Twenty Min utes—The Crew Leap into the Sea and Six are Lost. Tidings of another terrible disaster of the deep are at hand, and its horrors akin to the many stories of suffering and death that of late have been chronicled of the ocean's sad vagaries. It was the fate of the ship Sunbeam—a good and true craft, built in Chelsea, Massachusetts, but at the time en gaged in the Pacific Ocean trade—to be the victim of the latter disaster on the 31st of March last. She was destroyed by fire eighty miles from shore, and but twelve of a crew of eighteen saved. Captain Joseph Chadwick and his son, a youth of about ten years, of the lost ship, came to New York yesterday from Aspin wall, by the steamship Arizona. The Sunbeam loaded in the harbor of Iquiqui, Peru, during the latter part of February and first week in March, with saltpetre, bound for Tome, Chile, for which port she sailed on the 13th of March, the officers and men expecting a short and pleasant voyage. The day passed on with favorable winds, and it seemed that their wish would find a joyous realization, as the sturdy vessel made rapid strides towards her destination. Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure anticipated of quickly reach ing Tome until the 30th of March they being seventeen days out, when the second mate, usually a cautious mariner ' by an act de void of prudence, caused the picture of contentedness to suddenly change to one of dismay and death. About noon of the latter date this officer, desirous of giving the upper deck a little neater appearance, suggested to the captain that he intended Lo varnish it, which, meet ing Ills approbation, he foolishly procured an open light, and descended to the after hold, where the article desired was conven iently stowed, and attempted to draw it; but it was the last act of ships duty ho ever did, as the flames of the lamp coming in contact with the fumes of the flowing var nish a terrific explosion occurred, and the demon lire with a hundred hands was working destruction on ever side. In an instant it seemed to pervade the entire hold, and before the frightened and burned mate, with his clothes on lire, could reach the deck ,ex plosion after explosion Waii heard us the lire licked up the inflammable saltpetre, and the flames danced with glee up the I hatchway. So sudden did the terrible truth break upon the crew that for a moment they were paralyzed, but looking around and realizing that beneath them was a seething volcano, and the forked tongues of their enemy were working to every part of the vessel, creeping through the decks and climbing the masts, they must act. It was a critical second. Men leaped into the sea and attempted to cPing to the soars and boards they had al ready thrown overboard, but in vain for many of them. In ten minutes from the ignition of the varnish the mainmast was toppling, and in fifteen minutes it went over the side, and the gasping, drowning men clung with life in view of its charred I remains. When this had gone and the lire was creeping along the rigging to the fore mast ('apt. Chadwick took his little son in his arms and jumped over the side into the ocean. Happily he took hold of a stud ding-sail boom, which saved his and his son's lives. So terrible was the heat at this time that the faces of some of the men by the ship's side were blistered and cooked, and thus to change their positions and place their backs to the burning mast, six 1 poor fellows dropped exhausted, and sank to rise no more. Twenty minutes from the first explosion the Sunbeam sank from sight. It was fearful how the lire still kept creeping through the vessel. Varnish and saltpetre, thousands of sacks of the latter, sent their wicked darts of tire upward and around. Mast, after mast fell, and about ten minutes past tS o'clock P. M., on the 31st of March last, ill latitude thirty degrees forty-four minutes, about eighty miles front shore, tine last bubbling hiss was heard and the noble craft of an hour before was a thing of the past. The whaling bark, Charles W. Morgan, Captain Athens, then on a cruise, having seen the lire miles away, bore down to their pt,sition and took them on board, subse quently landing:them at Talcahuano, Chili. From this place the party made their way , tip to Panama. THE r,osT AND SAV Eli. Cif tine saved, twelve in number, but four names are known—Captain Chadwick, his son, E. 11.

E, May I.s.—The most terrible conflagration which has ever visited this State occurred at La Crosse depot this morning, by which the entire depot and freight warehouse, the elevator and con tents, the steamer War Eagle and nine cars containing express freight and other pro perty were destroyed, and several lives I lost. Words are entirely inadequate to I picturc the terrible scene--the conflagration, the eonsternation and dismay. The steam er War Eagle, in which the fire started, blazed up like a torch in a moment, render ing escape for any difficulty, and for some The extensive depot and adjoining buildings were immediately wrapped in dames. The picture pre sented, the soaring conflagration, the terror and alarm, the exaggerated rumors rile, the large crowds of people shifting here and there, their faces lit up by the Mimes, and the firemen bravely at work, all formed a scene to appal the timid and awe the brave. The fire broke nut in the Northwestern Packet Company's steamer War Eagle, which plies between Dubuqne and St. Paul. She arrived here yesterday afternoon at six o'clock, and proceeded to ' the depot to take in supplies and await the arrival of the midnight train from Milwau kee. The passengers from the train were transferred to the boat and the freight ing nearly completed before the accident took place. Tho men were loading some barrels of coal oil, stowing it on the larboard side about midships. (Me of the barrels being found leaking, and having been reported to Captain Cushman, he directed the cooper to repair the barrel, which was stood on end, and the cooper placed his lantern °lithe head of it. While driving down the hoops one of them burst, breaking the lamp and displacing the head of the barrel. The whole mass of inflam mable material was in a blaze in a moment. The barrel was immediately removed off the seaboard side, but a barge which lay along the side prevented it from falling nto the water, and the fiery demon was loose. There was no time to save anything but life, the flames enveloping the boat in a short time. Those of the passengers who were still dressed and near the office escaped by the front gangway. Others were awakened by the officers, and under the direction of Captain Cush ing escaped by the rear scuttle, and Were take!' eSileril by boats, which also picked up many who jumped over bi Kurd. Many rvrrc compelled to jump overboard, one the pilots named J iw Martin jumping from the hurricane deck. The rapidity of the tire may be inferred front the fact that the mail agent, who was in his (Mice, had barely time to secure his money packages and escape by the gang way. There Were forty-eight kegs of pow -der in the magazine under the forecastle, but the boat burned amidship and sunk, so that the powder was not ignited. There was beta small passenger list. The city I is full of rumors of the loss Of life , but careful inquiry makes it certain that but few persons could have been lost, mot ably but four. 'rhe four are :.Mary Muriel, of this city, aged eighteen; the barber of the boat (colored); a man front Cincinnati, name unknown; and an old gentleman front Kentuckymameunknown, was burned on the boat. An elderly lady was also supposed to be burned, name un known. A man and wife aro thought to have perished. line old lady, name un known, who weighs two hundred pounds. rushed to the stern of the boat, climbed over into the water and hung to the rudder until she was picked up. The boat is badly . burned. Another woman, who came on board at Prairie Du Chien sick, jumped overboard and was quite badly injured.— The Keokuk lay alongside the War Eagle and fortunately had enough steam to move her, and was saved with some damage by prompt attention of officers. The fire rap idly spread to the extensive sheds on the doi:k and thence to the depot and adjoining buildings, all of which, together with the large elevator and cars, were destroyed in an hour's time. The heat was terrible, and the flames lit up tile surrounding country for miles with all the brilliancy of day.— Nothing about the depot was saved except ing two safes containing books and money. The tickets on hand were lost. The total loss is estimated at from $270,000 to $300,000. The War Eagle was not insured. The property belonging to the railroad company was insured, but it is not possible to ascer tain the amount now. The losses of the American Express Company are ten thou sand dollars, covered by an open insurance policy. In addition to this there are a large number of private losses. The fire com panies were promptly on hand. To their efforts are due the fact that three passenger cars and a greater number of freight cars and other property were saved. Mr. Mor rill and a number of other of the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, arrived here about four p. m. It is probable that a permanent passenger and freight depot will be built in tins city. The scone this morning is a sad one. What was once a hive of industry is now a mass of charred and blackened ruins, strewn with the debris of the great conflagration. Ben. Fleming, maintopsmau on the "Niagara," on the day of "Perry's Vic tory" on Lake Erie, died in Erie, the 9th inst., at the age of ninety-eight. The Sew Tax Bill.

CHARGED WITH ROBBEItY.—CharIeS (:a ble and Abraham Mu ler, jr., were arrested on Thursday, by ()flicers Lutz, Simpson and Shertz, on a charge of robbing George W. Sprecher, of New Holland, of some IN'Zo. They had a hearing at 2 o'clock in the after noon, from which it appeared that the ac cused had been in company with Sprecher and Adam Hoover, the greater part of the evening, and all of them had been drinking rather freely at Snyder's (lolden Horse Hotel, in East King street. Before 11 o'clock, Mr. Snyder ordered them to leave the house, as he wished to close up for the night. They loft and went to Knapp's Beer Saloon, and from there walked some distance clown East IC ing street, Gable re questing them to go some place and play a game of cards. Hoover refused to go, and in company of Sprecher came back to Sny der's and went into the yard through tie arched alley, the house • being locked up. Snyder, who was inside the bar-rootn, heard them talking, and heard Sprecher say "Ad, dont do that; I thought you wen' a friend of 'nine." About this limo anoth er person entered the alley, and Sprecher Wit, to say, "Ad, they're robbing ate I don't let them do it." There was then a Senn', and Christian Hump, who lives next door, threw up his window and or dered the party oft. Snyder at the saint time opened the door, and saw Sprecher down on the ground and (table kicking hoover standing a short distance from him. (in being discovered, (:a ble ran off, and Sprecher and Hoover went into Snyder's bar-room the former being covered with mud. lie said he had been knocked down and robbed, and charged Hoover at the time with having helped do it ; though at the examination this afternoon, he testified that no one had struck him or had hold of hint except Gabl, 1;:ible was held to bail in the scut of ;32001 in answer at Court.

Welchans, of this city, a large part of his tobacco crop. The tobacco was cased, and the bulk of it was about being shipped by Mr. Welchnns to an eastern customer, when it was discovered, on opening a por tion which he intended to keep for his own use, that each hand contained one or more pebble stones securely wrapped under the band with which they were tied—thus giv ing an increased weight of about an ounce to each hand of the tobacco! The cases were then overhauled, and every one, so far as examined, exhibited the same fraud. The farmer from whom the tobacco was purchased is well known, and has been sent for to explain the singular circum stance. \Vetting tobacco for the purpose of making it weigh heavy is an old dodge on the part of growers, that dealers aro al ways prepared for, but this is the first time WC have heard of pebbles being used for that purpose.
