THIS COPBTB. THE DEMPSEY HOMICIDE. Ido DofoMce. Ovkk AND TKBMINKB-Judgos Lndlow and ?o C r»er, tbe conflict began. The parties then got inside of Dom,hue's room, where Domp 6eyDgot Donabne dowu on the floor and wn B on ton of him. The other testimony had relation to the admissions by tbe prisoner that he committed tbedecS, pave np (be knife, and said he went for” hie (Dunpscy s) neelr. The delence oprntd this morning, A. Haller Gross for the prisoner, sotting forth the facts and theory of the defence. After a few preliminary remarks to tbe jury. Mr. Gross said: Joseph M. Donahno, the prisoner at the bar, is 86 years ot nge, and at the time of this unfor tunate occurrence he was a finishing moulder n the planing-mill ol Essler & Bro., Fifteenth street, above Chestnut. . . , Mr. Esbler, his employer, regarded him as ono of the best workmen in the mill, and says be would take him back at once into his service it he could be acquitted. . , , , : Now let ÜBlook at the relations that subsisted | between Donabue and. Dempsey. It seems tUat Donahue, his wife and two children had been occupying two rooms in Dempsey s houso, No. ] 12 Arrison avenue, since the 16ih of April last. The two families lived in the greatest harmonv, and the most friendly relations existed between them. Dempsey’s business was that of clipping horses, but he has no regular employment, being often, for weeks at a time, wlthoot anything to do. The monoy he earned in this precinoui Way. he Invariably spent in drink. His wife In reality supported her husband and children by her hard work. Dempsey was a moßt exemplary husband In all respceis save °no-be was ad dicted to strong drink—that great burdenofvlce and iniquity which, moro than anything else, causes crime to stalk abroad over our laud, turn ing the honest man into a robber, the quiet and inoffensive citizen into a merciless, rekmUeßß murderer, filling our prisons and jails. with criminals whose legacy , t 0 ‘keirckildren is naught but misery and woe. It is the cause of more fils lhan any othor vice or passion that can enslave the human breast. While under Ihe influence of liquor, Dempsey would heap the most vituperative epithelß upon the heads of all who were near him, calling every one by tbe vilest names that his imagination, healed by liquor, corild conjure up. Donahue, who had been repeatedly exposed to this abusive language of Dempsey’s, at last be came so worried from It that he took the advice of bis employer, Mr. Essler, borrowed eight dol lars of him, wc nt to the Sheriff's office and pro cured a writ for the purpose, os he called it, ol •‘putting the law on Dempsey, and preventing him from further annoying himself and family. In fact, Donahue was afraid that Dempsey, who was a much more powerful man than himselt, had designs upon hiß life. Donahue did nothing to foment any quarrel with Dempsey, carefully avoiding any harsh wordG with him, preferring to let the law take its course, and hoping that tbe serving of the writ upon Dempsey would effectually put a stop to the vile language ÜBed towards him and his afternoon, January 14, Donahue sent for bis sister, Mrs. McFadden, and related to her the way in which Dempsey had been treat ing him, telling her he called him and his family the vilest aDd moßt abusive names. He also said that he thought his, [Donahue's] life waß not sate in Dempsey’s house. - „ He told her he had been so troubled from Demp sey’s treatment of himself and lnmily,thathe had procured a writ at-lbe Bhertfi s office lo be served on Dempsevfto pnt him under bonds to keep the P< AXter snpper Donahue went up into his room, took down a book-rack be was working ou, and began puttying it with a knife be had borrowed for that purpose. Mr. Dempsey, who was gre .tlv in liquor, came np two or three steps towards Donahue’s room, and said: “Is that brute np there? Ton sued me with tbe law, and 111 sue yon With my fist." Donahue, whose wife asked him to take no notice of this taunt, said: “I am sure I ain’t doing anything; I am hero doing my work, and ain’t harming any one " Donahue a little girl, Mary, said that Bhe would like to oil the book-rack, so to gratify her wish, he gave her the rack, undressed himself and went to bed. About twenty minutes after this Dempsey came up tbe steps to tbe thin partition which sepa rates the passage-way from the room, and said: “Pooh! this place stinks from that Joe in there! The brute! he ain’t got plnck enough to come out till I fight Mm! him, the —— of a !” instantly, on hearing tnis, Donahue, Infuriated bevond measure at this unprovoked, this unsolicited attack upon him, Jumped Worn Ms bed and opened the door. Dempsey imme diately rnshod at him and struck him, and then it was that Donahue, forced back into hi* mm room against the wall by the superior strength of Dempßey, knowing that Dempsey had a knife in his pocket, which might be used at any moment, sees lying near him ihe knife with which be had been puttying, and, with the rapidity of lightr ning, he uses it In self-defence. It was, with Donahue, a struggle for life and death, for he knew not at what moment he might be killed by Dempsey. When Donahue finds that Dempsey is dying, he makes no effort to escape, but quietly sur renders himself up to the law. These are all tbe material facts of this case,and these we expect to prove to you to-day. We will show you that on the Monday previous to Dempsey’s death, Donabue took from ihe mill some boardß for the purpose of moklng book racks) that on the next day, Tuesday, be borrowed of a lellow-workman a knile lor the purpose of using it in puttyiDg tbe bookracke: that he had no knife of Mb own, but that he bad always been in the habit of borrowing one when he had any woik to do, even on ono occasion asking Demp sey for the loon of his. VVe will show you that on January 13th, Donahue being in dread of personal violence from Dempsev, went to tbe Sheriff’s office, aDd got a writ for the purpose of putting him under bonds to keep the peace. We will also prove to you that Donahue was only acting in self-defence, and we trust that you will see, as we do, ibat you can have no just grounds upon which lo convict Mm of cither of the grades ol murder, or even of manslaughter. And now 1 have done. 1 huve performed, im perfectly it is true (but Blill as far as iu me lay), my duly towards my client, the Court and you, gentlemen of the jury. If there is anything in the statement of the facts of this case that 1 have omitted, I have done so through inadvertence, and my colleagues will supply tty deficiency. From the facts, us 1 have stated them to von from the testimony you have already beard—from that which you will hear to day you must acquit Joseph M. Donahue, Though no one could be more desirous than my self that the law should be most strictly und im partially administered in times so fraught as the present is with scenes of bloodshed and violence, 1 must state to you in all candor that the case you are now considering is one which is rathor deserving of your sympathy than your coudem natlou. Donahue only took life -o save his own. He was only obeying tbe dictates of that law of nature so Indelibly impressed upon the mind of every man as to be an essential part of Ms being; he wub only acting in pursuance of that divine right given to man with birthj the right of self defence. Put yourselves in his place, and then can you tell you would not have done likewise? Remember, gentlemen of the jury, that in a criminal case, and under the direction of the Court, you are not only judges of the J'acls, but judges of the,/-no In that respect you possess all the terrible power,- and attributes with which a heathen mythology invested those stern and impartial lawgivers, Rkadamantlius, /Kucub and Minos; hut vrith this great difference, that as they Bat in judgment on ihe souls of the dead t meting out to every one the rewards or punish ments he had not received on earth, so you sit here to-day to decide the destiny of a living vmn. An we are told “there’s a special provldenco in the fall of a sparrow,” how much -more should •WO think such ib the case when the fate of a hu man being is at stake ! I trust you will not be found wanting when you bring in vour verdict. AUI ask of yon is, “good men and true, stand together and hearken to the evidence." - ~,"r s *s* verier- ' Vbororfc Srtlcltor.

The Washington Star of last evening says: The fatal Fliot which killed President Lincoln was fired at Ford's Theatre on thei night of the 14ih of April, 18G5, and Booth, with Herold, Im- escaped from the city. They were pursned and overtaken at Gairett s farm, near Port Royal,on the Rappahannock,April 2a, and oa the follow inir,morning the troops having tired the ham in which they bad sought refuge, Ceroid was captured and Booth mortally wounded, dy eing about three hours afterward. Abon two o’clock on the morning of the 27th, the tng-boat Ida reached the Navy Yard in tniß city, and Herold was placed in con finement on the Monitor Montank, where Booth body was laid on a joiner’s beuch. Dur ug the morning large numbers of persons failed the Navv Yard, anxious to set a view of the body, hut none were allowed to go on board the moni tor except such as held orders from the Secretary of .be Navy. Dr. J. F. May, of this city was called on to Identify the body, and did a “ 0 scar on the neck where he had cut out a tumor. A coffin was made at the joiner s shop but was not used, and in the afternoon, after an examination of the wound, and one or two pieces of the back bone where the fatal shot took eflect were taken out. the body was wrapped in a Kfay blanket, in a boat in which was General L , G - * nd two of his detectives, and carried off. Stbifs qumtly, the report gained credence that the liodv had been consigned to the waters of the Potomac, when the truth was that it was landed at the Arsenal wharf, then placed in a box, and between ten and twelve o clock on the same night buried in the wareroom of the old Penitentiary, in the presence of a representa tive of the War Department (who took fiharge ot the keys of the room), and General Baker and a few officials of the post. Here it was allowed to remain nntil, the removal of the penitentiary building having been determined on, made it necessary to change its location, and Booths re mains, as also the bodies of Mrs. Surratt. Payne, Herold, Atzerodt and Wirz, were removed to No. 2 warehouse in the fall of 1867. Booths body occupied the lower end of the row—a white pninttd board with the name “Booth being nulled on the top of the box—where the body re maim d until yesterday. vr^Vorlr The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Times has the following : . There wos but little of the remains left, the flesh haviDg all disappeared, leaving nought but a moss of blackened boqpß. Upon one foot waß an old army shoe, and upon the other a boot cat open upon the boP- Thiß covered the left foot, the leg having been broken in bis leap from the Ftogc-box of the theatre after he had assassinated President Lincoln. The remainder of his dress consisted of a rough brown coat, black pants and vest all of which were rotten and decayed. The Is stir’ all remained, and the silken curls of glossy black reminded one of the handsome face which j people once so much admired, bat the Intelligent tnco was gene. During the afternoon hundreds of people visited the place, and some were allowed to view the remains. After a short time it was found that the cu rious crowds had cat the blankets almost to pieceß to get souvenirs. Many persona also visited Baltimore Cemeterv during the day, believing the interment would be made there, bat came away disappointed. Mrs Booth and her sons Edwin Booth and Junluß Brutus Booth will arrive here to-morrow, when the body will be deposited in a vault at the Government Cemetery, and in a few days will be secretly interred, in the presence of ihe family, at Baltimore Cemetery, beside tho remains of Junius Brutus Booth, the senior. There seems a disposition on the part of many people here to get up a demonstration, but the reiailves of Booth bitterly oppose aovthingof the sort and have arranged to inter the remains se cretly as above stated. The presence of Booth s remains has been the topic of conversation among all classes here, and has been the sensation of the dav A number of persons have contributed to defray the expenses of the re interment of Payne, for whose remains there has as yet been no claim ant. _ _ BHILBOHn ACCIBENT IN THE HOCK Y HI II UN TAINS. Explosion of u l.ocoinotlvc. The Omaha Republican of the 13th says: We gained information, at a late hoar last uiKht. of a fearful and fatal accident, which oc curred at the Union Pacific station, known as Hock Springs, some time during the hours of Thursday last. From what little we could learn of the matter it would appear that the large eight-wheeled, 40 ton engine, No. 112, exploded its boiler on the day aforesaid, while standing on the switch at the station before named, resulting In what is re ported to have been instant death to three men, with probable injuries to more. The names of the three men killed, as given to us, were Con ductor Mulligan, Eugineor Dunivan and James Wilson, fireman. The train was of freight cars, and the engine is represented as having been blown into a thousand fragments. We regret our inability to give fuller particu lars of this feurlul aecident, but in giving what we have we shall hope not to havo blunderod into a mistuke concerning the number killed, though we should be pleased to know that no such accident had occurred. It is perhaps well enough to state that this engine, No. 112, is the same one which was thrown" from the track some weeks since, by which accident one man was killed and said engine seriously damaged. OITY BUIiIiETUI. Coroner's Inquest.— This morning Coroner Daniels held an inquest on the body of Jeremiah Ingley, aged 03 years, which was found in the Delaware at Washington street wharf, on Mon" day afternoon. The evidence showed that Mr- Ingley left his home. No. 1323 South Seventh street, about 7 o’clock on the evening of the 7th of December, and had with him $35 65.. He went to a meeting of a building association on South Btreet, subscribed for 10 shares of stock, and paid $35 to the Secretary, getting a receipt and a pass book. He then left the room. Nothing was de veloped of his movements after that, until the body was found by some men engaged in repair ing boats at Washington streot wharf. On his person the balance of his money, 63 cents, waß found. No marks of violence were visible, and there was no reason why he should commit Bui dde. He was not very well acquainted with the lower section of the city, and the supposition is, that he wandered to South street wharf, and then walktd overboard, Tho verdict of tho jury was: "Found drowned.” A Drunken Siree.— Bernard Brannon and David Criss got drunk yesterday. They went to a house on Richmond street, below Venango street, tore down the water-spout, and thon smashed the windows of a house on the opposite side of the street. They were arrested by Lieut. Murray and taken belore Aid. Neill, who held them in S6OU bail on the charge of malicious mis chief. Jt vKNii.K Tiuei A boy named John Brown was arrested yt sterday, at Fifteenth and Vino strcetß, for stealing eldor out of a wagon. He'is said to belong to a gang of juveniles who commit depredations, lie was held in $4OO ball by Aid. fan coast. Bright Fire.—This morning, about half-paßt twclv'e o’clock, a fire occurred at tho house of Mrs. Lavery, No. 33 Reed street. The flames originated from a stove pipe which passod through the floor into the second-story. The 1068 sustained was about $5O. Woi.ating an Ordinance. — Bamuol Jone 3, from New Jorscy, was arrested yesterday at Becond and Brown streets for violating an ordi nance which requires toams to bo kept ten leet apart when passing through tho streets. He was fined by Aid. Becker. THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 17 1869. Washibotoh’s Bibtudat.— The Soldiers ot the War of 1812 will celebrate, the anniversary of Gcnoral Birthday, on Monday morning next, 22d lnot.,atlOo’clook,at the County Court Bouse, Bixth, below Chestnut etreet. Let there be a full attendance. -The sur viving soldiers of tho surrounding States ana counties are invited to participate in tho colobra tion.

House Rorrerv.— Dwelling No. 1337 South Fifth street was ontcred at an early hour this morning. The tbievcß were frightened off, and only got an old coat for their trouble. An Item i-or Ladies onlv.— ln another column of 10-day’B paper we announce tho removal of Mrs. M. A. Binder’s Temple of Fashion to tho northwest corner of Eleventh and Chestnut sts., an Item which cannot fall to Interest every lady who wishes to conform to the dictates -of-tho fashionable world. This removal became an ac tual necessity from the fact that the lato location was entirely inadequate either to contain the va ried stock or to transact the immense amount of bufimss, which has steadily increased with each succeeding year. Mrs. Binder’s patterns ate knowD and appreciated in almost every city, town and hamlet throughout tho Union, and to tpeak of them In commendation to the ladies of Philadelphia would be, to quote Shakespeare, ‘ a wasteful and ridiculous excess.” Therefore, let every lady visit the New Emporium, and bestow a substantial patronage on one whose enterprise and liberality entitle her to a distinguished pre cedence among the votaries of tho beau monde. Frank i.in Inbtitdte Meeting. —As will be seen in our advertising pages, at the meeting of tho Franklin Institute this evening, Shaw’s Pile Driving Machine, operated by gunpowder, will be exhibited. This is, we believe, the first in stance in which gunpowder has been made to do constructive work, its destructive powers alone having been hitherto employed. This ma chine Beems to be remarkably efficient and well worthy of examination. Prof. Morton will, we believe, on the same occasion, project on the screen photographs of the late solar eclipse, and show other interesting novelties In science and the arts. First Ward Grant Clue. —A ball of the First Ward Grant Glnb will be given at Musical Fund Hall on Monday evening next. Hon. Charles O'Neill will bo Master of Ceremonies, and Absa lom Taylor and Robert 8. Menamin Floor Mana gers. A pleasant affair may be expected. Modern Pictures. —B. Scott, Jr., will soil, without reserve, this evening, at7K o’clock, at the Art Gallery, 1020 Chestnut street, a number of modern pictures, newljt framed, comprising marines, landscapes, mountain views, Ac. Call and examine them. Acknowledgment. —We are indebted to Mr. J. Teal, Jr., Purser of the steamer Wyoming, for late files of the Savannah papers. Municipal Elections. —The Camden munici pal election is rapidly approaching, and its im portance begine to excite considerable feeling among politicians of both parties. There are candidate s for Mayor aDd Marshal, on the city ticket: three members of Council, a Constable, chosen freeholders, and all Ibe various other offi cers for each ward. The Republicans have called their City Convention for the 26th Instant, and the primary meetings in the wards will bo held in a few days. A general impression prevails that the present Mayor and Marshal will be renomi nated, and if so, they will be elected. They have mode good and efficient officers, and their re election will give universal satisfaction to tho people. Upon those candidates who receive the nomination, however, whether they be the present incumbents or not, the Republican party will be a unit. 4ti.antic Raii.road— The Atlantic Railroad Company are making extensive preparations for the coming season at the seashoro. New cars are being built, old ones are being substantially repaired and made as good and comfortable as new, their track along its whole length is being strengthened, bridges rebuilt, new station houses erected, and every other improvement designed for the comfort, convenience and accommoda tion of the public Is being perfected with as much liberality as possible. It is anticipated that the approaching season will surpass any preceding one at Atlantic City. Improvements.— Tbe building season begins to assume considerable activity in Camden. Thirty permits for fine dwelling houses have al ready been issued by the City Clerk, some for residences quite palatial in their style of con struction. It is believed that the present will be the most lively building season ever experienced in Camden, and that over 500 buildings will be erected. Tax Warrants.— The unpaid tax warrants for 1868 have been placed in the hands of the several constables of the different Wards in Camden, for collection, with instructions to pro ceed at once and make the amounts unpaid by seizing and Belling the effects and so forth ot the delinquents. Those who have neglected to pay should do so at once, to avoid trouble*, Wife Beating.— This custom seems to be on lhe increase in Camden, as several cases have re cently occurred. Mayor Cox had one before him yesterday who had indulged in that kind of re creation until “forbearance ceased to be a vir tue,” when the law interfered, and he was ar rested. „ Ciickfh Concert.— Last evening, the choir o* Rev. Mr. Tulmage’s church, and some other ex cellent perlormers, gave a very entertaining con cert in Camden, for the benefitof tho North Cam deii Church. It is said the sum realized was quite ‘‘handsome. An English exchange says: “Mr. Henri Dray ton, our well-known buffo singer, with Mrs. Drayton, his companion In the popular enter tainment with which Mr. Drayton’s name was once associated, has anticipated an experiment Herr Formes is said to be about to make, and has made his appearance on the dramatic, as distin guished from the musical, stage. Mr. Drayton bos obtained complete success in the Theatre Royal Manchester, as Shylock, Ford, Othello, and Master Walter, and has Binco been received with equal favor in Nottingham and Edinburgh. We are glad to believe there is a probability of Mr. Drayton’s appoarance before long in Lon don.” General Undeuu Under u Glond. The Washington correspondence of the Herald contains this doubtful story : There Is a report here to-night that the confi dential relations heretofore existing between General Grant and his confidential secretary, General Badean, have been broken off, and to day Badeau was instructed to remove his doßk from the room occupied by Grant to another apartment. The cause of tho rupture Is not known, bnt this is tho first illustration of the promise made by the President elect to remove from positions of power and trust even his hith erto most cberiehed friends and advisors provided they failed to give due satisfaction. Anniveraory of Abraham Lincoln’.* lUlrtliday—Decorations of bis Tomb. (From the "Springfield (111) Journal, Feb 13.) Yesterday being the anniversary of the late Presi dent Lincoln’s birthday, quite a number of ladle I and gentlemen ylelted Oak lUdge Ccmotcry for the purpose of decorating the tomb of Mr. Lincoln. Among those present, wo noticed several ladies, members of that noble band of women who labored so faithfully during the late war, in sustaining the “.Soldiers’ Homo” in this city, and in ministering to the Bick and suffering In the hospitals. If the world at. large failed to re member the anniversary of the birth of the late la mented President, these noble and patriotic ladieß did not. On their arrival at the tomb, they immediately commenced decorating it with wreaths of evergreens. Over the arch of the . door and along the front of tho tomb were placed a beautiful circular wreath of evergreens, while the nrnß were twined with wreaths artistically and appro priately arranged. A large and beautiful wreath en circled the entrance to the tomb. The door of the toiph was decorated with a cross of evergreens, Inter- HEW JEBBEY BUITEBS, American Artists Abroad. sneised with rare and beautiful flowers.
