lEugland to Deliver the Mosquito Ter.
:Awry to Nicaragua—The Mission of
EZ.President - Martinez to England.
(From El Porwmir, ltivao, N., July 15, 1887.1
Ex-President Martinez, now Minister. to Eng
-1 land, left by hist steamer for England to arr.lage
the Mud delivery to Nicaragua of the Mosquito
territory. This done, the idevelopmefit of that
important portion of the republic will vastly con
. tribute to the resources of the country in general.
• The prestige of a President who has been able to
.sustain himself in a Spanish-American country
for ten years, will no doubt facilitate this im
portant event.
He is tiocompanied by Emile Benard. Esq., a
gentleman born in this country of French pa
rents, and who was educated in Paris and Lon
. don, and has held, although quite young, im
portant positions, such as Chief Justice in San
Juan del Norte. We do not doubt that the mission
. will fully obtain what is right and useful to the
country.
We cannot fairly call it a question ; the world
linows the English policy of obtaining hold of
'certain important geographical positions, such as
-Gibraltar ' Malta, Holgoland, St. Helena, Born
holm andGreytown. We all know that little or
uo generosity was shown to Nicaragua when she
reclaimed her rights; and, had it not been for the
• United States insisting on the restitution of the
Mosquito coast and the abandonment of the pro
tectorate of Englanti,oursmal Republic could not
I have obtained her rights.
Nicaragua consented to pay the paltry sum of
five thousand dollars to the so-called Mosquito
King. She paid it always punctually; but when
the individual died a hocus-pocus king was got up
-•by sonic English speculators, and through their
• influence or representation the English ~,,overnc
utout appears to deny the sovereign right of
Nienragua over the Mosquito territory. To
• explain matters with the treaty in hand is the
mission of General Martinez. We know that if the
English Government should, which we very
much doubt, go on in its pretensions, they Could
not be carried into effect, because the United
States Government have had too much trouble on
this score to allow itself to be troubled anain
about it. We have no doubt that the Eulish
•Government, once well posted up on the affair,
will cheerfully agree to what was from the begin
tining their 'intention to .do.

CRIME.
Execution of Jerry 0 9 111rIen.
[From the New York Tribane.]
As curly as eight o'clock yesterday morning
large crowds of people—mostly of the lower
classeF—bloeked up the corner of Franklin and j
Centre streets, the turning-point to the prison
entrance of the Tombs. The crowd was of the
most. motley character. It included thieves,
pickpockets, apple-women, laborers, bdisi
ness Men, and others attracted on their way
down town, and quite a number of the blue
bloused, Panama-hatted gentlemen who are
everywhere aleature in Metropolitan spectacles.
• It was Black Friday, and the occasion was the
hanging of Jeremiah O'Brien, the murderer of
Kate Smith, in Prince street, over fourteen
months ago.
The steps of the prison door were crowded with
those who had the document necessary to admit
them, and, as the gates were not opened until
about twenty minutes before eight o'clock. they
soon became clamorous for admittance. These
gentlemen were by no means of the "rabble."
They were better dressed, better looking in
every respect, and each bore-in his hand, or
pocket a filled-out certificate which made
him, for the time being, a deputy sheriff,
to assist In "preserving order at the execution."
As there were from 200 to 300 of these temporary
officials present, and no others in any number, it
is to be presumed that there was no great obstruc
tion to the preservation of order. Perhaps the j.
presence of an unusual number of policemen
greatly facilitated the dignity of the assemblage;
hilt there was certainly no disturbance worthy of
mention. The gate was finally opened at about
10 minutes before 9, and then there was a general
rush, much crowding, and considerable foul
language..
The gallows was erected in the southwestern
corner of the krison-yard. It is the same struc
ture which destroyed Capt. Beale on 'Governor's
Island three years ago, Kennedy at Fort La-
favette a short time later, Bernard Friery, and
Wagner, the wife murderer, still more recently.
A description of its loathsome operations is al-'
most unnecessary. •
Yesterday, us iii the case of Wagner, the scaf
fold was covered with all awning, as the appear
:mei• of the weather gave indications of rain,
Within a few feet of the rope were ranged a
number of benches, with rough deal desks in
ront, for the convenienee of the press. About a
dozen bona-fide reporters occupied one of these
benches. The rest were filled with gentlemen,
who. intent on being as near as possible to the
tragedy, filled the other seats, with make
believe note-bOoks before them, and fictitious
pencils over their ears, in order to elude
the vigilance of the police. The yard was thickly
crowded, there being about 300 present in alt '
including the police. There seemed to be a more
than ordinary • interest in the hanging of this
young man O'Brien, People stood on tip-toe
and climbed the projeetions of the prison
casements
to see the affair: and the
house-topson Franklin and Leonard streets,
overlooking the tragedy, were crowded ,
with male and female spectators. ttecom
panied by quite a number of officers to keep,:
them in order. The victim was advertised to be
disposed of at 9 o'cleck promptly. After waiting
ten or twelve minutes after this time, there was a •
good deal of grumbling among the crowd, many
of whom bad "business" to attend to. and to
whom time was precious. At last Mr. Kelly, the
Sheriff, made his appearance, accompanies by
his Chief Deputy and Mr. Isaacs, the executioner,

"He was the Bravest man I ever. saw stretched;
did my nest with him: 'if he had kicked three
times more than he did, I would have called
myself a journeyman and cut my throat !" Both
before and since that time he has frequently
shown his loving hand and admirable skill. He
had probably taken good :are with his gallows be
fore—in other words,tie knew his ropes—for upon
the present occasion he contended himself with
feeling the suspended rope and going behind the
inclosure to test the efficiency of the weights.
The killing-tools must have been found in good
older, for presouly all returned to the prison
gate and reentered the cell of the doomed man.
The police immediately pushed back the crowd,
and formed a long lane, through which the fatal
procession should pass cm its way to the scaffold. •
Some still continued to press against the instru
ment of death. and a number thronged around
the prison gate, in order to view the prisoner
upon Lis first entrance into the yard. While
waiting here there were a "Teat many comments
pas«l tijmn the cventand"there *as some brutal
impatienee expressed as to the non-appearance
of the prisoner.
In the month of Jrale, 1860, Jerry O'Brien was
standing on Prince street in an attitude of doubt.
He did not dream of it :it that time; but he was
in reality, trembling on. the verge of au abyss
from m lich.there. was no retreat, save in ins puri
-tleation of orA'entire being. In:a house of infamy
close by there lived a woman who had been his
mistress. .Her name, or the name she went by,
, was Kate Smith, and she was young and beauti-
Iful, though utterly'. lost. Jerry O'Brien loved her
madly and passionately. It was the old ; story,
which has been rhymed by Owen )iereditia
"She seas a harlat, andi way a thiet.
Bet e loved each other beyond belief."
Jerry's reputation was bad. He was supposed
to lice in an illegitimate bay. When he became
poor, this girl sup" orted him. She kept him in
clothes, food and drink by "the wages of her
shame But at last she grew needy herself, and
her hivors came few and tar between. The scale
of wicked fortune was before her, with money
on one side and hunger on the other. With the
reckless desperation of her class she flung herself
in the balance, and drew in the proceeds. Jerry
wits jealous of the girl. It was not a question of
affection or passion with him, but of subsistence
as well_ He was at this time a representa
tive of one of the meanest classes in
the world—a "man," so-called, who
was willing -to subsist on the pro
ceeds of a poor woman's infamy. Be that as it
may, here he stood ou Prince street, with a mil
lion thoughts drifting through his mind. He had
been a soldier of the Union. and, It is said, had
fought bravely,and he had also figured extensively
as a Fenian In the raid of a year ago. He also bad a
motherland sisters at the home he might still call
his own. Perchance a vision of these—the camp,
the field, and the gentle home—was wafted across
his mind at the fatal time, but his thoughts were
intent pm darker scenes. Infuriated by a long use of
bad whisky, and stung . with the frenzy of jealousy,
his thoughts dwelt only upon the unfortunate ob
ject of his passion. He secreted a fish-knife on
his person, and proceeded to the house where his
mistress lived. .He found her in an upper story,
and pursued her to a corner of the room. The
landlady and others entered her room, and be
sought him to be.merciful. At last the girl fled
down stairs in terror, O'Brien pursuing titer with
the drawn knife. The shadow of her death was
h overing over her wretched head, and she felt it.
She half turned upon him,and exclaimed in words
to this substance: "Jerry, for the love of God, do
not kill me! For the love you bear your mother,
let me live! lam not fit to die!" He heeded not
her suppAcation' but drove the weapon through
her body, and she rolled down stairs, weltering
in her blcuid; and died in a few seconds.
Jerry O'Brien was tried, the crime was proved
against him, and lie was to be executed. At a
few - minutes past 9 o'clock in the morning, there
was a sudden swayibg in front of the door, with
the suppressed exclamaticin of "Herehe comes!"
and theprisoner appeared on his way to the gal
lows.' The Sheriff led the way; the culprit fol
lowed, with the baiter round his neck, and a
friend walking by his side. They were also ac-
COD ipaoled by George Isaacs (the executioner),
a Depuly Sheriff, Fathers Duranquet and St.
Francis, and , Surgeons Hodgman, Anderson,
Nealls, 'Atwood, and --Hallam , With the .excep
tion of the" prisoner, every one was
as pale as. deakh,_. They . , soon arrived
under the rope, Ind the preparations , for
the execution Immediately tbek PAK*.
PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 187.
The prisoner was attired in white linen , trowsers
and vest, dress-coat and light-colored kid gloves.
Ili Wall short of stature, and looked almost like iv
boy. He' was beardless; and his' features were
Inflamed and swollen, as-though by much weep
ing. Ile gave the general appearance °ate reg
ular New York "rotig,h"--the man wlcOns most
at home in scenes of violence and disorder; but
certainly, as he stood there with his rich, curly
hair, and his trembling lips, and his downcast
eyes, he looked too young and too beautiful to
destroy.
Some criminals die "game;" some die winclngly;
and some, again, pass off stupidly. Jerry
O'Brien died stupidly;be had, weeks before, re
signed all hope of a reprieve; he was in that pe
culiarly, stupid state of mind where utter despair
comes in a mechanical way, which is =mauled
resignation. Only once did a gleam of anima
tion, perhaps of hope, dart across his boyish
face; but It quickly died away, and gave way to
the old blank despair.
The sky had been overcast all the morning,and
Just as the culprit arrived under the gallows a
s l ow, drizzling rain commenced, which did 'not
c ease until the close of the tragedy. He took a
chair directly under the dangling' rope. and
listened tranquilly to the administration of the
ordinances of the itoman Catholic Church, which
consisted of the prayers , commencing "Our
Father" and "Hail Mary," and reading of the
Creed, the recital of the Confession, and the Acts
of Contrition. Prayer was also offered for the
dead, O'Brien many times repeating the words:
" Lord, halt mercy on my soul !" "Lord, have
mercy on my soul !" The prisoner, through his
spiritual adviser. announceffthat he was ready at
about twenty minutes before 10 o'clock. Mr.
Isaacs placed him under the drop, and adjusted
the knot. There was a slight "click" heard, and
every one knew that the criminal had only a few
seconds to live.
"Have you anything to say?" asked Isaacs.
"Tell them to pray for ,me-my mother, my
sisters, my friends—tell them to pray for me—
pray for ine—pray for me!"
'i he black cap was drawn over the face of the
youthful criminal. Ile was hesitating on the
bridge of time, ere be was hurled from this side
to the other. Only a few - seconds of life inter
vened. It was now raining heavily. Um
brellas were hoisted, and the crowd of spectators
were' impatient and dripping, and wanting to be
gone. The influence of capital punishment as a.
prevention of crime had' n illustratiOn in an in
cident at this time. Just as this poor wretch was
jumbling on the verge of dissolution—with the
'Clack cap over his eyes, and his brain -swooning
or agonizing for the fatal jerk—a well dressed
but villainous-looking man reached over through
the dripping crowd, and, in a suppressed, wicked
whisper. exclaimed to the man before him:
"Look here! I've told von to take that un
brella from before.me three times. If you don't
do it this time, kill you on the spot!" •
There was ails; time for comment; for at that
moment the rope was cut, and, with a sudden
jerk, Jerry O'Brien was castinto the other world.
The rain suddenly ceased to full, a single gleam
of sunshine splintered over the scaffold before
the skies.were overclouded anew, and the white
pigeons in the overhanging cornice above startled
away, and fluttered about strangely before they
resnmed their perch. There .was a slight mus
cular contraction, and .that was all. In the
short space .01 twelve minutes the criminal
was pronounced dead. The neck was not
broken, according to the physicians,. but rapid
strangulation had been caused by a distension of
the ligaments. No matter, the end was achieved;
the criminal was dead. The remains were placed
in' a walnut coffin, bearing the inscription "Jere
miah O'Brien, died August 9th, 186'7, aged 45 yeses
and . 1 day;" and conveyed to the - residence of the
unhappy mother, No. 59 Christopher street,
whence the funeral will take place to-day. After
the execution a large crowd still haunted the
vicinity of the prison, anxious to know if the
hanging had really come off.
TtionetS Cave, Esq., M. P. whose, arrival' in
this city we recently noticed. passed on the next
clay - in
. a special train with Dr. Durant for the
purpose of Inspecting the work, and the extraor
dinarily rapid and complete track-laying of this
eighth wonder of the world—the Pacific Railroad,
This railway, as most of our readers well know,
is to complete the railroad connection between
the seaboards of the 'Atllintic and Pacific
oceans. Owing to the liberal subsidies
granted by the United States Gre
vernment. and the energy of the
contractors and Dr. Durant, the road is being
completed at the unprecedented rate of from one
and one-half to five miles per day. Mr. Cave,
English member of Parliament, represents large
interests in the Atlantic and Great Western Rail
way Company In our country. He has been
engaged for several 'weeks in investigatingthe.
past, and present history of that company, and
personally visited and inspected the whole of
that road. Ile states that the main object in
visiting the Union Pacific Railroad at this time
is in order to enable him to make a comparison
between this road and the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad. The wisdom of this will appear
when it is remembered that the Union
Pacific Railroad is to be built as one of the first
class of American railways, and under the imme
diate certificate of commissions appointed by the
government, who are required to inspect and re
port upon every mile of this road; We itearn
from an entirely reliable source the details a an
incident of Mr. Cave's • visit to the end of the
road, which might have had a more serious ter
mination, and the result of which is a source of
gratification to the friends of. that.gentleman. It
appears that on Thursday cveinetg the sp6cial
train containing the excursionists stopped for the
night in the vicinity of Julesburg—which has
sprung up as if by magic within the
last month, and which is located about one
hundred and fifty-six miles east of the base of
the Rocky Mountains. Colonel Carling, of the
Regular Army, has a large and fine camp under
his command near this city, preparing for the
construction of a fort, to accommodate 1,400
men, near the base of the Mountains. Colonel
Carling extended the hospitalities of his camp to
the Hon. Mr. Cave, and invited him to ,hunt an
antelope at 5 o'clock the next morning. True to
the sportsman-like instincts of a' British gentles
man, Mr. Cave cordially accepted this opportu
nity for sport, although he had been informed
that hostile binds of Sioux Indians Infested the
vicinity, and were constantly committing depre
dations. The hunting party consisted of Col
onel Carling, Mr. Cave, the Colonel's orderly, -
and two Scouts-of experience, to be used as well
for heading the'setnie as to look out for Indians.
At starting, a-northeasterly direction was taken
over the Prairie, one scout moving about a mile
distant on either flank; with orders to ride
to the centre in case of alarm. Antelope were
soon sighted In large numbers and exciting
sport obtained. About 8- A. M., and im
mediately after an exciting chase,— the orderly
having Mr. Cave's rifle, to reload, two fine
wolves were sighted at about one
fourth of a mile distant. The Englishman, being
anxious to obtain a nearer view. suggested a
chase. Colonel Carling assured Inn that it
would be impossible to come up with them, but
expressed his willingness, to allow Mr. Cave to
try the experiment. Without waiting for his
rifle, Mr. Cave rose in .his stirrups and put his
horse to tlie'top of his Speed in pursuit, begging
the orderly to follow 'with his piece.. Alter a

Marie Sophie Arnelie, Far-Queen of
Naples.
Despatches have been received at London, from
Rome we presume, which announce the death of
this lady the wife of Marie Le old Francis, sur
named "Little Bomba," ex-Kilk. of Naples. The
deceased was the third daughter and Rath child of
Maximilian Joseph, Duke of Bavaria, and was
born at Possenholen on the 9th of October, 1811.
Her early years were barren of historic incident,
her education and that of - her sisters being ob
tained from the private tutors of her father. In
1851, her sister Elizabeth Amelia Eugtiuie was
married to Francis Joseph, the present Emperor
of Austria, and four years subsequently another
sister, the Princess Caroline Therese Helene,
was united to Maximilian, Prince of Marin
and Taxis. On the Bth of January, 1859,
the deceased ex-Queen was married by proxy,aud
on the 3d of February following, in person, to
the then Prince Royal of Naples. On the 22d of
May of the same year she ascended the throne
with her husband, and during the brief and
shaineful reign of Francis proved herself a de
voted and affectionate wife. She accompanied
the King in his flight from Naples to Gaeta, and
during the short but memorable. siege of the last
named city, endeared herself - to the Neapolitan
soldiers, which composed the garrison, by her
course of conduct. Upon the fall of 'Gaeta, Feb-
ruary 14, 1861, and the retirement of the ex-King
to the Palace of 'the at Rome, she ac
companied kirk: and resided - there'over after
wards, sharing , the many vicistatudesof fortune

MAT Folsom.
By a telegram from Concord, New Hampshire,
yesterday, we are informed: of the death, of Mrs.
Abby Folsom, at her residence id Rochester, in
the same State, on the Bth inst. The deceased
was, we believe, a native of England., her maiden
name being Kelley.. Between the years 1830 and
1838, she emigrated to this country; and took up
her residence in Boston. There she soon became
famous for her denunciations of slavery. With
a coterfe of kindred spirits she mounted the ros
trum and denounced the late "peculiar institu
tions' of the South,' declaring that the negro
was; in every respect, the equal' of the white
man, and even going so far as to declare in favor
of amalgamation between the races. At the time
when these doctrines were expounded the "moral
ideas" of the country had not yet reached their
11111 height, and . even VI Boston the preacher of
anti-slavery dogmas was subject to such inter
ruptions as could be caused by hootings; groan
ings, hissings, rotten eggs, and other and more
forcible expressions of dissent. Notwithstanding
these unfavorable aspects. the deceased lady per
severed in her efforts, and was ever foremost iu
attending all of the anti-slavery meetings held in
New Englund and New York. As a speaker,
Mrs. Folsom was hold. vigorous and tearless.
She never hesitated to express her opinion
in the midst of the most creer
whelming antagonism, and on more than one
occasion gained her point by sheer personal
courage and determination. The natural ability
displayed by the deensed gained for her nu
merous admirers and friends, while her courage
made even her opponents in political questions
respect her. §he was to the public at one time
what Anna Dickiuson and Lucy Stone are at
the present hour. The deceased was married
quite a number of years ago to a Mr. Folsom, a
scholar and philanthropist, of New Hampshire:
,Soon after this event she retired to private life,
from which she seldom ever afterwards emerged.
Her life before her marriage. taken altogether,
was a most extraordinary'and successfuLone.
She lived to see tier dearly cherished anti-slavery
doctrines engrafted - upon the constitution of the
country, and hi the"eertainty of this knowledge
died. no doubt perfectly contented and happy.

The Stan ton Quarrel.
(1' SECICETA2Y STANTON—COUItsE 01' TIM
PRESIDENT. '
[From the National IntelliOencer, Aug. 9.]
The statement which has found its way intb some
of the public prints, to the effect that the. .I't‘e,sl
- has ordered that:no further communication
shall be held with Mr. Stanton, is, we are sat
isfied, inaccurate. So long as' he is permitted
to remain in office, official relations must
necessarily subsist. It does not follow,
however, that he will attend Cabinet
consultatiors. These are not held in virtde of
law. They are purely discretionary with the
President, who is neither obliged' to confer with
his Secretaries In formal meetings, nor Is he re
stricted to the Heads of Departments In seeking
advice upon public affairs.
The President, we believe, will deal with
his refractory War Secretary' in another,
and more direct way. IL is understood from'
some of Mr. Stanton's' friends that that
gentleman is not entirely beyond
the fear of popnlar scorn, and may yet recon
sider his refusal to resign, however repugnant
such a step may be to his inveterate love of offi-
Rini position... We learn from a usually well
informed source that. it is the purpose of Mr.
Johnson to allow this whole ,matter to remain In
abeyance for a few days, giving time for reflec
tion on the part of Mr. Stanton, and - the friends
'who advise him as to the course he should pur
sue. 11,-in two or three days, he - shall--still _per
sist in the refusal to resign,. the President will
suspend him, by giving him notice, substan
tially, that he is thereby susapnded him from the
further execution of the funellonB of the office of
Secretary of War, and that the reasons of this sus
pension will be submitted to the Senate at the
next session of Congress.

The National Inidllgencer, which Is said to be
one of the organs of. Mr. Johnson, continues its
abuse"of Mr. Stanton. In its issue of Thursday
it makes the important adinisSion, however, that
he is sustained hi hiS position by the army and
the people, stating that "he is perfectly sensible
that he has the revolutionary element, which is
powerful, including Nrtain General officers of the
army, arid millions of deluded people at his
back." The Intellifiencer then suggests in the
following paragraph that Mr. fitanton be ousted,
