Boston, Thursday, Feb, 11, 1869 The “Fitch
,w“e-FoiEoning Case,” which has caused
, B ?®.taWßseexdtemfpt in Fitchburg and Its
neighborhood lately, and has created so much
talk in the Boston papers, Is rapidly becoming,
to all appearances.no case at all. The sensa
lional reywts pf tbfi “CAso,” which originated In
one of the city evening papers and • have
been copied quite extensively throughout
the country, stated In effect that Mrs. Hannah
Pyke, a respectable lady of Fitchburg, died sud
denly from the effects ot poison- administered in
lemonade andcostard Mbert d ■
ft?ke, A Kspectoble gentfetiiari of Fitchbmg; that
ihe act was done beoause the husband desired to
rid himself icetaster or the company of the wife
so that he could marry a daughter Of the wife by
a . J f ? r S er T?_ Mband ; “ at ‘be daughter, one
Adelaide Evans, a young woman of about
twentyreix years, of decidedly un-prepos
eessipg appearance, was an accomplice or the
husband, and that she was impelled to the per
formance of her part in the wicked work by the
knowledge that ir she was not married toPyke,
the tamer of her child, her fair name, If any she
bad (which, it seems, was a. matter of considerable
doubt), would be Badly impaired.. This made a :
very interesting story, and a really serious case:
bnji unfortunately for the cause of truth, it was,
notfounded, to any very great extent, on fact.
ryke was arrested and lodged in JaU, and go,
also, was the young woman Adelaide. The
chemists brought the stomach of the
lady to this city, and proceeded to analyze
H? c S? I SP Ul ’ “Ed the District Attorney, Hon.
W. W. Bice, of Worcester, and the counsel for
ibe defendant, two prominent Fitchburg lawyers,
proceeded to pick up evidence. Two weeks
ago an attempt was made to have an examina
tion, but it failed,as the chemists had not finished
ibeir work. To-day another attempt was made
but with no better success; the examination was
again postponed lor two weeks for the reason
that the chemists were not ready to report the
reßultof the analysis. ~ Now the truth doubtless"
is that the chemists have not as yet found the
slightest trace of poison in the stomich.and that
they do not want to give np the search without
finding something.
Mrs. Pyke, it seems, was a very fleshy woman.
At the time of her death she was under medical
treatment for a broken hip, received a week pre
vious by a fall. She was led for two days, before
Ler death, on lemonade and custard, and not
much of anything else. Taking this fact into
consideration, many find it not difficult to con
-ciufie that ehe died from natural causes. The
story that Pyke prepared all her food during her
sickness, gave it to her, allowed no other person
io have anything to do with it, audeautioned the
young woman Adelaide against touching any of
it, is denied in toto, and the author of it, an un
lucky newspaper reporter, has been severely cen
sured. J
But, although he may not be guilty of the
crime of murder, Pyke Is surely guilty of the
crime of adultery. He admits this. The Court
oom 10-day was packed by a curious crowd of
and the feast they hungered for was not given.
Pyke is a large, flne-lcdking, well-dressed, gen
tlemanly-appearing man, and in form and fea
ture resembles very much that well-known, at
borne and abroad, gentleman, George Francis

TBE BICBDEB OF SENATOR BIcCON
BELL.
Intense Extttement m Jacksonville,
Illinois.
The Chicago Journal of the 11th contains the
following despatch from Jacksonville, 111.:
lhe horrible mnrder of Senator McConnell,
yesterday, is still wrapped in mystery, and the
intense excitement throughout the commnnity
in relation to the deed continues. It is the only
subject of conversation upon the streets and in
places of business. Or course rumor has started
many absurd stories in regard to the motive of
the murderer,and even as to the assassin himself,
but none can be considered reliable. The most
widely believed reason for the murder is that
some hired assassin was sent here
from abroad to murder the Benator, in
order to prevent his appearance before the
Supreme Court, os one oi the principal witnesses
in a suit Involving property in Chicago to the
amount of four or five millions of dollars, and to
which his grand-children were laying claim. His
testimony was most important for the further
ance of their"claims. The Jury impounded by
the Coroner held three sessions yesterday, and
have been together all day to-day examining
every member of the family, the servant girl who
saw him last alive, and the milkman who de
livered milk at the house about the supposed
Imc of the murder. No verdict has been ren
dered yet. The body of the Senator will be in
terred on Friday.
Additional fuel has been given the flame of ex
citement by the reported arrest of one of our
citizens, named Bobinson, on suspicion of some
connection with the murder. The facts in the
case are that he was not arrested, but is simply
detained as an important witness. He was owing
the General a large sum of money, due on the
day of the mnrder, and was seen to leave the
premises about 9 o’clock, yesterday morning, by
a milkman. The note on which payment was to
have been made is said to have mysteriously dis
appeared, hence the suspicion. He is a young
man of good character, carrying on the grocery
business in the public square.
[The telegraph Informs us that this man has
since been found guilty by the Coroner’s iury

A Terrible Tragedy in Tennessee.
We clip the following particulars of midnight
murders perpetrated in Dyorsburg.Tenn., on the
' night of the sth, from Neats State Gazette , pub
lished in that place:
In our last issue, we stated that three mon-
James Evans, Giles Moody and Bud Evans—wore
being tried in this place, charged with horse
i-tealing, and that it was supposed they be
longed to a well organized band of outlaws
that have for some time been a terror to this
section of country. Up to Friday night their
trial had not been concluded, and they were re
manded to jail until the next morning, being in
the custody of Bhenff Shaw and a guard of soven
men. At about 1 o’clock the next morning (Sat
urday) the jail was quietly surrounded by about
one hundred and fifty armed men, disguised, and
commanded by three officers. One half the mys
terious visitors were dismounted, the remainder
on horseback, nil uniformed in black trimmed
with white, each man having a wide white band
around his hat. Their appearance at the jail was
sudden, and the Shcritf saw at a glance
to resist was .madness. Ho ana his
guards .surrendered, were" relieved of
their arms, and, together with the jailor, placed
under guard in front of the midnight cavalcade.
The jail keys were secured and the prisoners
taken out one at a time, each having his arms
tied behind his back with a long whlto ropo,
which wbb allowed to drag , the ground. After
the prisoners were placed noar the sheriff and
Mb guards, the men who had taken upon them*

their silent march, not an unnecessary word bo*

againstllperty of conscience and of public wor
ship, whrfh was recently presented to Marehal
Serrano by fl committee of noble and devout la
dies, may have appeared to many English read
ers an ebullition or hysterical and harmless fa
naticism, of no account in an esti
mate of the positive and practical condi
tion of affairs. The pastoral from the Cardinal
Archbishop, which was read last Sunday Week in
the churches of Valladolid, in which the tolera
tion extended by the provisional government to
heretics IB denouced as an ‘lnfamous,’ ‘extrava
- P‘ onB >’ ‘criminal,’ ‘scandalous,’ and
dmaUgfiant’ attempt to ‘uncatholicize’ the peoDle,
may have struck English readers as a mere spent
thunderbolt of ecclesiastical rhetoric. The decla

Madri 4>„ , i lat ‘!J ere will not be wanting some
who Will be sufficiently fervent In their faith to
destroy (be church which, on the 9th ef Novem

to be dedicated io heresy,’and the assertion of
another clerical organ, that if men cannot be
found to pull down the new Protestant church
at Madrid, the women will do it for them, may
excite a pitying smile in countries where reli
gions toleration, is both law and custom, and
where the want of unity of faith prevails, which
as the Ighsia says, ‘makes England and the

Youk Excellehct: We do not ask grace or
implore clemency; we demand justice. We claim
(espect and protection to our rights as Catholics,
as Spaniards and as women. If we hod a voice
in the public assemblies or a seat in the Cortes,
there we would flock to defend, even at the risk
of our lives, the persecuted religion, the menaced
peace of onr families and the derided faith and
honor of Bpain. But we have only tears with
which to weep and voices with which to mourn.
JTor this reason we send to your excellency our
tears and sighs, asking what we have
the right ask, and what • our ex
cellency has,,! the 1 obligation to respect
and protect. When from the lips of our
mothers we learnt the holy truths which light the
way to Heaven, the only morality which teaches
ue to be good mothers, good daughters, and good
wives, we learnt that in Bpaiu we ought only to
adore the true God. Those who, like your excel
lency, wear the sword In the belt, on grasping it
swore as Christians and promised as gentlemen
to shed the last drop of your blood in defence of
onr most holy faith—the joy of our souls, the
peace of our numerous families, the banner of
our country—and when those of ns who have the
privilege of being mothers teach our children to
■peak, we bless our wise Iswb which will not
allow that their souls can be indbetrinated in
other than the beanlifhl idiom of Santa Teresa
of Jesuß and of St. John of the Cros3.
But now, excellentsir, we see the ministers of
our holy religion going out of Spain, persecuted
as criminals; we hear the sad voices ol the vir
gins of God tbrnst out of their holy aisles of piety
and purity. Fallen wilhontry and noise aro the
temples of Jesus Christ, where we used to go and
pray for the souls of our relatives and for the
elicity of onr children, that the enemies of our
faith offend onr ears by crying that with the stones
of their rninß they will build altars for false gods.
The streets and squares-overflow.with impiety,
blasphemy and doubt; in papers and pamphlets the
most bolv religion, which returns to man his lost
dignity, regenerates the enelaved woman and
makes Spam great and powerful, is insulted.
This transpires, excellent Mr, this transpires, and
we weak women have not arms with which we
can defend onr faith against those who would
destroy it. is the Christian soldier doing
that he falls to defend the faith to which he
swore? What is the sword of the gentleman that
it does not come to the protection of the Span
ish women, offended in what their hearts must
love?
In Spain there are none who wish to r belelve Ifc
falee gods. All adore the true God. All are
Catholics. Thlß the government over which
you preside have recognised and confessed on
divers and repeated occasions. The national will
rejects, therefore,, all impious doctrines, all
fuiec sects. If your Excellency and the provis
ional government break Catholic unity, and give
liberty to false woiehips, you twist and violate
the national will, written as a motto on the flag
raised by your Excellency.
And, in the last place, who has given to the pro
visional government the faculty to legislate on
this matter, the right to remove and destroy tho
fundamentals of Spanish societj? Does your Ex
cellency Dot believe Hurt only the Qortes Oonstitu
ytntes have power to give ns forms of govern
ment, and do yon believe yon have any right to
bruik Catholic unity ? Leave this, your Excel
lency, to the Cortes; to the Cortes only belongs,
In the system which rules to-day, the faculty of
legislating. We and all good Spaniards will
await its sentence tranquilly and confidently,
for it is not* possible that there are
in Spain so many men without taith as will bo
necessary to break Catholic faith. And if in re
ality the majority in the Cortes should be of tho
Impious, we ourselves will go to tho Cortes, and
with tearful eyes and afflicted voices will say,
“Have pity on ns.and onr children; listen to your
mothers and your wives; do not destroy tho ex
clusive empire of the truth; do not throw down
the firm base and secure guarantee of the peace
and honor ofyour families; do not bring to ns
the 1 advocates or error and of falsehood.” They
will listen to onr laments and attend to our peti
tions.
Your Excellency has Children, and they are
Catholics. Do not permit- impiety to enter into
Spain, and, coming near to them, soil their inno
cence.
Recollect oven the mighty die! Those who
role and Rovem the people have to give a strict
account to God. Oh, that when your children go
to pray at the tomb of their father they may <not
recollect with horror that his hand opened the
gates of his country to Impiety! Oh, that ail
®.f aE * art ! a “’ey have to ask blessings on him lor
that be, in days of trial; saved Catholic unity.
We havenow complied with onr duty, defend-'
lDg our rights, which are the rights: of God, of
our country and of our families... It now belongs
xcc tncy *° comply with your;duties as

™t ' er^ a * e ®f January 27, the correspondentof
rn«ri£« d 0? T* mes wrltes fron » Madrid: Oh the
morning of January 2a, toward noon, the Civil
Governor, accompanied by hla highest subaltern
functionary) the Secretario del Qobiorno, or Pro
vincial Secretary, and by one ot tlio chief officers,
of police, proceeded to the Cathedral. He found
?/ P e ?P* e ° n equate before tbeMiu-
Sref, Salleti'the'Plaza del . Arzoblspo, but' does
not seem to have met with any hin
drance or molestation. At the. door of
the church he was received' by . three •
Canons and the Dean, who, upon hearing his er
rand, offered to show him the way- to the-
Archive. As soon as the Governor, had • crossed:
the threshold of the cbnrcb, tho doors were
closed, and a picket of Civil'Guards, or Gen j
darmes, stationed themselves before it. One of.
the officers of this force writes to his suuerior
thatt he voice of the Archbishop was heard to cry
for help,and that one of the beus from the steeple
sounded the alarm (loeabo a arrebaib). The mob,'
apparently at that signal, went round the build
ing, and forced a way both into the church , and
the cloister. The cries of the multi
tude were “Mutra et Gobemador ! Viva la Uni
tad CatoUca de Burgotr As the Governor was
issuing from the door of the church which lea in
to the cloister, he asked what tho people wanted:
.1® d P s s n P on *J lm - “ndoa the very steps
of the threshold pierced him with their daggers I
(As aenbtuaron a punalazoa.) He fell, he was'
seen to strive to rise, but was soon agalnover- I
powered and prostrated. The murderers theja I
tore bis clothes from him, struggled for the 1
paesession of those bloody tatters f
?. 8 trophies, and cut even the }
limbs to pieces, “like famished wolves.” They I
then threw a red scarf round the mangled body, I
dragged it down the steps, and, through the I
cloister, to the square before the Cathedral, I
where they were fallen upon by the public force, 1
which dispersed them. The letter from which I I
quote states “that the whole population had a
6t,a r® ,‘ n the crime.” The town was Im
mediately declared In a state of siege.
Four of tho Canons, the Dean, and
other priests, with between '6O and 70 |
of the populace, were arrested. The Archbishop,
Doc Anastaslo Rodrigo Justo, was submitted to
an idterrogatory. Tho Cathedral was closed,
and will not be re-opened for public Worship till
it be reconsecrated. I have been told that the
Provincial Secretary, who, as I wrote yesterday,
had “miraculously escaped,” hadbeen saved bv
some of the Canons. X heard nothing further re- I
epecting the police inspector who was reported I
w ounded. I

New- Yoke, Feb. 13— It is stated tllataße
imoilcan caucus In this city has prevailed upon
the Tammany ring, by means of a consideration
y et made public, to.secure the assent
ot Governor Hoffman to the passage of a
law in the Legislature abolishing the charterelec
tions of December and prolonging the term of all
WdD:ftS l fig, JgßfflHß, Wf refflm
tbreo Republican justices in office who would
otherwise go out. Governor Hoffman, it is an
nounced, has agreed to give his assent to the bill.
Two men, alleged to be the robbers of Benedict
Brothers’ show-windows, in Broadway,'were ar
raigned before Justice Hhandley yesterday, and
affidavits partially implicating them in the rob
bery were taken. They were both committed to
answer in default of $5,000 bail each.
Several parties were arrested yesterday at Staten
Island and brought before Commissioner Joneß,of
Brooklyn, on a charge of smuggling cigars to the
value of $1 500.
It has been discovered that among the numer
ous other rings in this city there ia—what is more
oppressive than all—a flour ring, composed of
certain classes of flour operators at the Corn Ex
change, whose aim is to monopolize tho trade by
ruling out the flour manufacturers of this city and
Brooklyn.
The carving and dining-rooms of the Metro
politan Hotel were the scene of a serious affray
last evening, about half-past seyen o’clock, be
tween several ot tho employes, daring which
George Hodges (white), who holds the position
ot carver, was badly injured about the head by a
eluDgshot in the hands of John Jones or Richard
Archer (colored). The origin or the difficulty
seems to have been that the carver, who has
charge of some fifty waiters, had occasion to
ecDsure several 6f them in the early
morning, and discharged Jones. At tho
boar named some six or seven of these
colored individuals, led on by Jones and
'Archer, gathered about Hodges, while he Was at
his work in the carving room, and without any
words, commenced to assault him, ending in tho
serious assault referred to. The injured man,
bleeding from his wonndß, fled from his assail
ants and rushed across tho dining room, where
several guests of the house were at dinner, to the
tea room, followed by the excited blacks. His
appearance and the evident determination of bis
assailants to inflict still farther injury, caused the
greatest excitement for a short time,during which
an attempt was made to arre9t them, but this sig
nally failed, although L. M. Sawyer,head waiter,
placed himself at the door, through which thev
finally escaped.

-j-The Age says that “ ‘rebuking’ has Its in
finite varieties. The least offensive by far js the
‘cut direct,’for that ascertains one's relations at
once. Then there 1b the ‘rebuke oblique,’ mani
kstid in an iußune desire to find out what time of

the street. The form, howevor.whlch is the most
touching, and, therefore, the hardest to endure,is
‘the rebuke reproachful;’ the silent bowing of the
bend, the austere mourning for a lost sheep from
the loyal fold, the stern expression of duty per
