A ten feet , corridor leads right and left to
Iwo wings extending at right angles fromthe
rear of the front building, having:a front of two
hundred and eighty feet,' and running 'back
two hundred and four feet :in depth; and a'
width of forty-seven feet. -
These wings contain the prison Cells, which
are in two tiers, isolated from the external
walls. The second tier, hair ~ an iron balcony
surrounding it, approached by an Iron stair
way: Adjoining these cells are the lavatories,
clothing rodins and turnkey's office.
There are in all seventy-two cells ; twenty
tight of them are double; and designeti.to ac
commodate each two prisoners; notwithstand
ing they are but twelve feet deep and eight feet
wide. The remaining forty-four cells are
single, and intended for the separate confine
ment of convicted prisoners. These are but
sizfeet wide and eight feet deep.
The sides, floor and ceiling are composed of
Six,flag-stones, which form a complete stone
''bole, the only opening to which, for the admis-,
sion of light, or air, or the heat from the inv..'
mace, which is first discharged into the corrl-.
dor, is through the cell door, opening upon the
z :Surrounding passa,g,e-way. •
The only light that can ever! possibly pene-.
trate the interior of these cells must come from
the narrow-barred windows in the exterior wall
the prison, across thei wide corridor which
intervenes between these windows and the cell
doors.
From personal observation I feel warranted
chi- saying that in many of these - cells, if not in
all a beam of sunshine will never enter. They
- are scarcely large enough to contain a bed and
r,abool for the accommodation• of the occupant,
and there is certainly not space enough for
—them to pursue any kind of employment; and
.if there was, the cell is so dark that it would
be, impossible for them to do it. Nor will they
be able to read or improve themselves by study,
unless the Commissioners furnish them with
, artificial light, which, if done at all, will be to
'`a; very limited extent.
1 understand that it is the Intention of the
authorities of the county to confine in this jail
prisoners who are sentenced for a term of
Sears, such as are now sent to the State peni
tentiaries.
Under the existing laws of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania convicts are sentenced
to separate confinement, and no human being
can be so confuted in one of the small 'cells of
_ the new jail of Luzerne county, ihr any great
• length's:A time, without the loss of health or
;perhaps life.
The cell, when the doors are closed, is a
dungeon, the only opening into it being a small
bole in the wall near the floor, connecting with a
Ventilating flue, which again connects with a
system of forced ventilation,
arranged in the
centre of the building, which is located in the
court-yard or hollow square formed by the cell
wings and front and rear walls.
Not a ray of light can enter these gloomy
wells except through the doorway.
Well may the unfortunate prisoner who is
doomed to confinement in one of these, nar
row, daily, and dark cells, exclaim with the
prisoner of Chinon—
'" I only stired in this black spot;
I only lived—l only drew
The accursed breath of dungeon-dew;
The last—the sole—the dearest link •
Between me and the eternal brink, ,
Which bound me to my failing race,
Was broken in this fatal place."
The refmmation of the convict is the great
object sought to be obtained by the Pennsylva
nia systein of prison discipline ; but in a place
like this reformation will be almost impossible.
The building is certainly calculated only for
punishment, and where that is the highest aim,
the criminal, made worse by his confinement, is
let loose upon society at the expiration of his
term of imprisonment, to live again a life of
lawlessness, to be again a terror to our citizens,
and to be eventually returned to his prison
tell.
We have every reason to believe that the
citizens of Luzerne possess as great a share of
the milk of huinan kindness as those of any
other county -in the State; and believing this,
we are disposed•to think that they will never
permit human beings, though they be eon-.
victed felons, to be confined in the cells now
being constructed in this new county jail.
As far as this building is coneerned•a change
in the present laws must be made in order
that there may be a change of discipline to
accommodate things to the Peculiar construc
tion of this prison. •
If the authorities design giving the convicts
employment, they must erect additional huild
ings for workshops, where it will be necessary
1 to congregate them—a system which has been
tried iu some of the States and admitted to be
a failure, and one that was abandoned by the
State of Pennsylvania many years ago.
The plan of these cells is not an original one
with - the Commissioners of Luzerne county.
The '• den" known as the Erie County Jail,
one of the filthiest and worse governed prisons
I ever entered, is built upon the plan adopted
by the authorities of .Luzerne county. These
Commissioners say that " before deciding upon
a plan they visited prisons in this and adjoining
States, "and judging from what I have seen
they most approved of what they saw at Erie."
When I visited that jail I found the prisoners,
who were boys of tender age and men well
advanced in life,—runaway apprentices, burg
lars, horse-thieves and other desperate
characters—collected around tables in the cor
ridor, engaged in playing cards, and causing
the . dismal walls of this black hole to resound
• with their horrible oaths and imprecations.
I,,asked the jailor why these prisoners 'were
perinitted to congregate, and , especially why
-- liatsehey4 - inererehiliiren, wenrpertniriert
associate with the-heavily-ironed and desper
ate men that were sitting at the card-table.
The answer was: "We have no other way of
disposing of them." Again I asked: "Why
not confine them in their cells separately, as
,the law,requires ?" I was told that the cells
were not fit to confine any one ifs, not even
the worst of criminals;
,they could only be
used for sleeping-rooms. I was then kindly.
invited to walk into one of them. I did so,
and was entirely satisfied that, no human being
could live in close confinement in one of these
cells. No light, no air—except that taken from
the surrounding corridor—not a gleam of sun
light could possibly enter, and to confine a
prisoner there would be certain death; hence
the necessity of permitting them to congregate
in the corridor. I left this place of horrors,
and obtained an interview with the Commis
sioners of the county; conversed with them
on the condition of their jail, and while they
admitted that affairs there were in the
worst possible condition, they assured me
that this state of affairs would not continue
'long; that the jail was old, and not properly
constructed; a new one would probably be
built, and then a better state of things would
be brought about.
With this assurance I left the city of Erie,
hoping and trusting that this ancient, badly
arranged and filthy jail, the last of its kind in
Pennsylvania,--wouhl soon disappear, and -be
known only as a thing that once had an exert
enee. But judge of my surprise, upon visiting
the new Luzerne County Prison, I at once
recognized the cells of the Erie County Jail,—
not dirty, to he sure, but possessing in an
eminent degree all the objectionable features
of that ancient edifice, which, years ago, was a
disgrace to the county.
- The architectural beauty of the new Prison
at %Vilkesbarre is not . excelled by any other
building in that, part of the State. The work
_ nanship reflects the highest credit upon the
constructor. The cost of the entire structure,
when completed, will be $300,000. The
citizens of the county will have cause to regret,
ere many years elapse; that a pro Per plan was
not adopted, and will not rest satisfied until a
• radical change shall have been made in the in
terior arrangement.
In examining the plan of•this jail any one at
all familiar with the discipline of our prisons
will be irresistibly drawn to the conclusion
that the projectors never intended to regard,
10 AN yf t l 4 rstate wade for the government
of our jails and penitentiaries, and that there'
has been a studied attempt to so construct the
cells that the laws in this respect should not be
enfOrced'hi them. ,
The prison of Lehigh county, located at Al- •
lentown, to whicli,ln my report to your
cellency in IStlBt I briefly alluded as being in
peocesS of erection, was so far completed on;
the 14th 'day of April last as to permit the, re-
Moval of the inmatea . of the old prison to the
More secure and comfortable cells of the new
One.
This building was designed, by and erected
under the supervision of G. A. Aschinich, Esq.,
architect and•civil engineer, and a resident of
Allentown., It stands on an eminence . front
ing and overlooking the beautiful Valley of the
Lehigh.
The lot has a frontage of two hundred and
thirty feet by a depth of four hundred and
twenty feet. • The building is of the castellated
style of architecture, two 'stories high, with . a
tower rising from the centre of the front to th&
dieight of one hundred feet ; this tower con=
tains the ventilating shaft, which is connected,
with a system of forced ventilation. •
The front of the building, exclusive' of: the'
SPace hielosed by the outside walls, is sixty. 7
four, feet, the rear or back part fifty-four
feet; the sides,. or depth, of , the ',building;
are one hundred and seventy-eight feet.:
The yard, or safety wall, which incloses the
whole Structure, has a rear front of one htur~
dred and thirty-eight feet; with side walls of
two hundred and six feet in length and twenty
one feet in height.
On the right of the entrance to the main
building are the inspector's and warden's
offices, the latter being lighted by means of a
window, which commands a full view of the
prison yard,which will enable the warden,when
in his office, to overlook the prisoners that may
be pegnitted to take exercise in the yard.
On the left of the entrance are rooms for
the accommodation of the Sheriff and his
family, the rear room of which has also a
Window commanding a view of the yard,where
the prisoners can be seen and their movements
known to the keepers. In, the rear of these
rooms; and separated from them by a passage;
so that the • main block 'of cells can only be
reached by one door, is the kitchen, where the
food is prepared for the prisoners. On the op
posite side are two large rooms,
one :of which is for the detention ,
or examination of witnesses; the
other for the ' purposes 'of storage.
Beyond these rooms extend the cells, there
being ten on each side of the corridor, and two
stories in height; making in all forty. The
second tier , of cells is reached by an iron stair
way, whichtaii be at any time cut off by means
of a drawbridge, which is attached to it.
On the second floor, over the kitchen, and
also on the opposite, side of the building, are•
rooms for a male and female infirmary, or hos
pital; also, a batlfLroom„ and a store-room for
material used in the manufacturing depart
went of the institution. As the cells are in
tended for workshops for ,the prisoners con
fined in them, they . are made large, light, and
airy; being eight feet wide, fifteen feet long,
and the ceilings ten feet high. They are lighted
with well secured windows, and are furnished
with registers and ventilators, water-closets and
hydrants, and other conveniences necessary
to the health of the inmates.
In the basement are six large furnaces, de
signed to warm the entire building and to as
sist in the ventilation of the cells. -There is
also in the basement a bakery and laundry, in
tended for the use of the institution.
The whole building is ventilated by means
of flues, which run through the walls and corn
inwaicate with a cylindrical chamber in the
centre of the tower, through which all the foul
air generated in the prison can readily. escape.
On making close inspection of this. prison,
I find the architect has paid strict attention to
all the details, so important and necessary in a'
penal house,and which are apt to be overlooked
both by commissioners and, architects; who are
too often satisfied with a grand and imposing
exterior, without looking to or seeming to care
for the interior arrangements.
To some of the leading and prominent features
ofthis prison 1 desire to call the attention of
your Excellency, as I considerthem worthy of
especial notice ;.. these are :
First—That the proper discipline can be
maintained with a comparatively small force
of attendants and with the utmost degree of
safety ,to the attending keepers. The
building is so , arranged and provided
With flank lights and other facilities fur seeing
the inmatcs, that all the prison proper, the
corridor as well as the outside walls of the cell
wing and the yard, can be seen by a watchful
eye from the rear rooms of the Warden's
apartments and also from the main hall.
This prison greatly excels in this particular
point, which is certainly a very impOrtant 'one.
Second—The sewerage is so arranged that
each and every pipe can be taken out without
cutting the walls or disturbing the masonry,
and ready accessi by reason of the peculiar ar
rangement of the pipes, is always had to the
traps, and in case of any breaks, leaks or stop
ages. .And by the system of traps employed
here there can be no speaking communication
between the prisoners by means of the pipes
when they are being flushed out.
Third—From the peculiar construction of, the
cell windows, together with their location, al
though they are no larger than those of other
prisons; they admit one-third mere light than
those ordinarily used in prison construction.
Fourth,—The cells, by having heavy iron
plates walled in beneath the plank-flooring, are
rendered doubly secure—a very necessary pre;
caution, as quarrying through the floor into the
-basement -the- prison seems -to have been
the favorite mode of escaping from the county
jails of Pennsylvania. The precaution here
adopted Will entirely prevent this in future.
The work on this building was 'commenced
in the Spring of ISG7.
Two years from the time that the ground
was first broken, prisoners from the old jail
were removed to the now one, and employed in
many ways in the finishing of the interior of
the building.
The whole structure, including the grading,
terracing, and laying-out of grounds which
surround the walls, will be finished early in the
corning year.
The entire cost of this properly-designed and
well-built prison will, I am informed, be less
than two hundred thousand dollars. Surely a
trifling sum,
when the great advantages to be
gained by the expenditure are taken, into
consideration. The citizens of Lehigh county,
when they come to realize the benefits they
will be sure to reap from the erection of this
jail, will never regret the outlay necessary to
secure a building so well appointed and so ad
mirably arranged for the detention, and, it is to
be hoped, reformation of their criminals. r
The erection of a building of the character
of the one here described is,..for an iulakid
county, one of considerable magnitude, and re
flects the highest credit upon the liberality and
intelligence of its citizens, and will be an en
during monument to the professional skill: of
the architect, C. A. Aschbaeh, Esq., who de
signed the work and superintended its con
struction.
In reading the foregoing account of the
Lehigh County Prison, many who, for - years
past, have labored to secure for Pennsylvania.a
system of prison discipline calculated to reform
as well as punish offenders. against the laws,
will be gratified to learn that their efforts have
not been entirely fruitless--that some of the
counties of the State are erecting prisons with
a view to enforcing the dlicipline established
by law.
Early in the year 18(18 the Commissioners of
Northampton county employed the celebrated
prison architect, Edward Ilaviland, Esq., to
plan and supervise the erection of a prison for
that county.
This beautiful structure stands upon ele
vated ground, near the Court House, in the
town of Easton. The front'elevation is grand
and imposing, and is exteeded in beauty by no
'other building in the cotlnty. '„

right angles with the entrance passage.
•,.Thh. cells. are fifty-two. in number,, and, are,
fifteen feet long by eight.in width, with a 'cell
lug ,eleVen feet high. •They are well lighted
and thoroughly ventilated, and each one is

No expense or labor has' been - spared upon
the sewerage.. The main" Sewer discharges in

Northampton being a county of large and in- ,
creasing population, this prison- Ina designed
with special reference to introducing and car
rying out the penitentiary. systeni of discipline,
as done at Reading, Lancaster, Pottsville and
other counties where the authorities insist
upon a due observance of the law.
The cells are large wOrkshops.and will Corn
.fortably accommodate, in each, a prisoner and
his insplernents of -trade..'
'Convenient to the cells are manufacturing
store-rooms, infirmary and bath-rooms. In
the front • there are accommodations of the
most ample kind for the Warden aad other
of of the prisen.
The ventilation of the cell-wing is the most
thorough yet , introduced in prison build
ings, in consequence of both ends being
detached, and having a ventilating shaft. and
tower in the middle of the block, with. ,fines
leading from each cell into it, . •
This great adVantage in the ventilation is
sehured by the cell-wing being parallel with
the front building.
The entire structure is founded upon a solid
rock ; the stone for the building (except the
sand-stone front) was all taken out of the
Cellar excavation, and from all appearances
the:work will be as enduring as time.
This edifice is unique in its arrangements,
and has been approved and greatly admired
by experts who have visited it, and may be
ranked as the best jail.in the country.
Although the work was commenced in the
spring of last year, it is now so nearly com
pleted that, were it prudent, it might be occu
pied in a few weeks.
Now that the citizens of Northampton have
a prison where it will be possible to enforce
discipline, they should at once ask the Legis
lature to enact a law authorizing them to elect
a Board of Prison Inspectors, and to appoint a
Warden to govern and manage their convicts.
Should they do so, with the facilities now af
forded them, they may have one of the best
conducted prisons in the State.
Lithe month of July, 1887, I visited the Old
jail of Blair county, situated at Hollidaysburg,
and foundit in a very dilapidated condition,
and pronounced it, in my report to your Ex
celleney, an unfit and unsafe place for the con
'finement of offenders against the laws, and
where no kind of discipline or order could be
maintained.
The prisoners had, a short time previous to
my visit, attempted to escape by burning the
building. The tire, when discovered, had made
considerable progress, and but for its timely
discovery would have destroyed the prison and
burned to death the family of the Sheriff, who
were lodging near where the fire was started.
Since that visit a new prison was projected,
and Edward Haviland, Esq., architect, was en
gaged by the commissioners to plan and ,erect
the building.
The' structure is well located in the town of
Hollidaysburg, and is calculated for the separate
confinement.of twenty-eight prisoners. In my
statementof last year I gave a detailed descrip
tion of the plan adopted, which, in the con
stiuction' has been adhered to.
It will be ready for the reception of prisoners
early in the coming summer.
Mr. Haviland is also erecting a prison in
Totter county. This building, though the
smallest, is as, complete in all its appointments
,as any in the State ; and in ••order to render it
so, the architect has evidently bestowed upon it
considerable study.
The accommodations for the Sheriff and his
family are . convenient.
The number of cells at present is but eight,
and the plan is so arranged that additional
cells can be attached, when the necessities' of
the county demand it, without .affecting the
'completeness of the design. Each cell is eight
feet wide and fifteen feet long, entirely fire
proof, and fitted up with hydrant and water
closets, and will be as thoroughly heated and
ventilated as the cells of any of the larger
prisons recently erected. •
The enlightened Commissioners Of this
county have provided for the health and clean
liness of the prisoners by erecting a bath
house, with a plentiful supply of hot and cold
water, and near it an Inlirmary,or Hospital for
the treatment of sick inmates.
The whole cost of this complete structure
will not exceed thirty-five thousand dollars.
The work will be finished during the
,year
1870.
In a former report I stated that I. had visited
no'county where there was greatt4 necessity
for a new prison than in Cambria. On the
occasion of my visit the Sheriff informed me
that the prison was .so . unsafe that he was
obliged to chain or guard prisoners who were
committed for the higher grade of offences. I
conversed with some of the inmates and found
them anxious to be sent to the penitentiary,
believing that their condition would be greatly
improved brthe change.,, -
The atithoilties of the county have employed
Mr. Haviland to erect a new and modern jail,
wherein discipline and good order may be
maintained without the use of heavy irons or
dungeon cells.
The contract has been made for the
ing, which will cost seventy-three thousand
dollars.- The . work mama be zommenced. be-.
fore the opening of the coming spring, but will
then he advanced as rapidly • as possible, in
view of the great and urgent necessity that
exists for a secure • place wherein to confine
their convicts.
The same architect has also commenced the
erection of a prison for Carbon county, at
Mauch Chunk, which will probably lie finished
by the autumn of MO. This prison will be
hi every respect similar to that of Lycoming •
county, before described in my reports, and
will cost sixty-seven thou sanddollars. •
The jail is ° °really needed, as the old one is
an unfit habitation for man, he he criminal or
not. When I visited it last year,l found the
inmates sick from disease engedered by the
damp and unwholesome atmosphere of the cells.
Clearfield, emulating the good example of
the foregoing counties, has also ordered the
erection of a new jail, similar in design to the
Carbon and Lycoming county prisons, yet the
cells differ in construction from that of any
county prison previously erected.
The walls of other prisons are built of rab
ble masonry, the cells being arched with bricks,
and cast-iron plates laid on top to prevent es
cape by boring through the arches. The new
prison of Clearfield differs from these in this
wise : The exterior walls of the buildin and
the partition walls of the cells are of cut
stone, laid in range courses ; those of the
partition walls • and of the wall between
the cells and corridor are to be one stone
through the thickness of the wall, which will
be eighteen inches. The ceilings of the cellS
are to be composed of a single stone resting on
"projecting courses iu the partition wallS and
joined by arebate joints. This plan of con
struction is similar to that of some of the Egyp
tian catacombs. Wooden floors are to be put
on these stone slabs to prevent dampness, and
each cell will he eight feet by fifteen in , size,
with a ceiling of eleven feet In height, and
will be furnished with 4drant and water—
closet. The beating and
.yeutilation is similar
to the other prisons hero!! described, with the
difference that the floors are to be cut out of
the solid stone on the faCe of the wall, instead
of the middle, which will preserve the strength
of the wall immediately against the flue—a
point in many prisons where the inmates Make
their efforts for escape.
The plan adopted for this prison embraces
comfort and security, and reflec , s credit on the
architect, Mr. nolland,whose great experience
prison-building enables him 'to in4qduce
into every new design some intprovement over
the last' erected. -
After an experience of three niers anal the - .
county prisons of the State, I am confirtu d•in
the ephilemlong entertained * that good gbv
ernment and dlsciplinelearinnt be had 'in; any
jail, no matter how' )Ve'll the bUilding may
constructed or adapted to ,the ptirposes, Where
the duty of Keeper or Warden devolves
the Sheriff.• •• That:officer being, eligible •to an
election for one term only, retires from the po
sition about the time he is becoming familiar
with the duties of Jailor or Warden.
. In some of the best constructed ..prisons in,
the State, where there are cells enough to con
fine all the prisoners separately, for want of a
Jailor or Warden properly qualified to fill the
place, the prisoners are permitted to congregate
in. the corridors and spend their days in card
' playing, 'idleness and 'unprofitable conversa
tion. This may not be aperoved, by .the Sher
iff, but he is absent from home much of his
time on official business, and leaves the'prlson
in charge of an inexperienced - deputy - (on one
occasion 1. found a prisoner acting as deputy),
• very often his wife or daughter, who could not,
Willey really understood the duties of Jailor,
'enforce the discipline necessary to maintain
good order amongst the priSondrs. •
In order that the good accomplished by the
many improvements made in the planning and
constructing of prisons and 'penitentiaries in
his State. May not be entirely. lost for want of
properly-trained and educated officers to
manage them, I would respectfully suggest to
your Excellency the propriety of the passage
of a law during the coming session of
the Legislature requiring all counties
having accommodation in their jails for
twenty or more prisoners, to elect
a Board of Prison Inspectors, whose duties
shall be the same as those in Lancaster, Berks
and other counties that now have inspectors;
and that they shall 'be particularly enjoined to
appoint a warden or keeper (who shall not in.
any case be the sberiff),who shall hold the place
so long as be discharges his duties in a satis
factory manner. Under an arrangement of
this or a similar character, prisons now nothing
more than schools of vice and immorality
may be made houses of reformation; but until
it is done all the improvements in prison build
ings and all the money expended lu their
erection will be lost or thrown away.
All of which is respectfully submitted by

CAMDEN GOSSIP.
,Work on improvements in Camden is
going forward with considerable despatch, in
consequence of the mildness of the weather.
—The Paid Fire Department of Camden is
now in a thorough btate of organization, and
is working smoothly and satisfactorily. - -
—Petitions are being circulated in Camden
for signatures asking Congress to abolish the
franking privilege.
—The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. of,
New Jersey, will meet at Wildey Hall, Cam
den, on Monday next, at 11 o'clock in the
morning.
—The United States District Court, at
Trenton, declared the Camden Rolling Nills
Company bankrupt on Tuesday. X warrant
to that effect was issued to the iklarshal.
—Two or three of the parties who fomaulted
and robbed Mr. Clarke on the highway, on
:Monday evening, have been wrested and com
mitted.
—A man, named Robeno '
has been lodged
in the Camden jail, charged with being con
cerned in robbing the house of Mr. Conrad,
Turnersville, a few nights ago.
—A colored man was accosted and robbed
on the Moorestown turnpike, a 'short distance
from Camden, on Tuesday 'Apt. The liil
lains•then escaped into apiece of woods.
—The Camden aspirants for clerkship and
other positions in the present Legislature of
:New Jersey,,have come to grief and returned
home.
—The work on the new Post-ollice in Cam
den is rapidly advancing towards completion.
The otlice will be removed into it in
February.
-Yester4y the Council of. Administration
of the Grand Army of the RepubliC met in
Camden. The State Convention met to-day
for the purpose of electing officers.
—About forty persons are said to have ex
perienced religion in East Camden within a
short time past, under the preaching of the
Rev. Mr. Sleeper, and the good work goes on
satisfactorily.
—EtTorts will be made during the present
winter to induce the Legislature to abolish the
Special Court of Quarter. Sessions of Camden,

sive concern.
—The City Council, through the Solicitor,
have authorized the Sheriff to seize a lot of
hose belonging to the city, in possession of the
Weccacoe Fire Company, • No. 2, and , the
United States Fire Company, of Camdeu,
which said companies refused to give up. A
writ of replevin has been served.
—ln order to render aid to the suffering poor
and needy in the 'southern section of Camden,
some benevolent ladies have , formed a Dorcas
Society on a new plan. Instead of Making up
garments and distributing them indiscrimi
nately to all applicants, they visit among poor
women and invite, them to meet with them on
Friday afternoons and WV for themselves the
balance of the day, and when the garments are
completed they can take them home. It is
pleasant to see a sickly, poorly clad and aged
woman going' out with a grateful smile, bear
ing in her arms a warm skirt ready to put on;
another, who has not a change of under-gar
ments, supplied; 'another, who has the care
of seven children, enabled to take home
something to keep the most needy warm;
another is provided with a pair of good shoes;
a Young girl, lame but sprightly, and handy
with her needle,is quite joyful with the thought
that next week she will finish a new dress for
herself. The good which this society is calcu
lated to do, and is doing, is Worthy of liberal
and generous support from the benevolent.
The Benspar!,e-N air Tragedy.
PAIUs, Jan. 11.—The Mamaliaise publlShes
the following statement of M. 'de Fouville
the 10th of January, 1870, at one o'clock, Vic
tor Noir and myself repaired to the residence
of Prine•Pierre Bonaparte, 59 Rue d'Auteuil.
We were co missioued by Paschal Grous,set„ to
:demand 'of the Prince the reason for the'` inju
rious articles against M. Paschal Grousset, pub
lished in'the Z'Arenir'creNi-Gors. We handed
our cards JO' two servants, whir stoodat , the
door, and Who ushered . us into a Small ' Parlor
on the grohnd-door titt:ohr right hind: ,'After a
few minutes we were coudnetedhp stairs to the
hrtit floor, passed 'through the fencingloom,
and finally oentered the drawing-room. The
door opened, and M. Pierre Bonaparte entered.
We, advanced toward
„hini, and the follbwing
words passed between us
"Sir, we come in behalf of M.' Paschal
Grousset to deliver a letter to you." " You
are not come,. then. on behalf of M. Rochefort,
and you are not tools of Lis?" "Sir, we are
here on other business, and I beg you to look
at this letter." I handed • him the letter. He
approached th - window to read IL.' He read
it, and after crushing it in his hands, he re
turned towards us. • "1 have provoked Roche
fort," said he, ."because be is the standard
bearer of the rabble. AS for Grousset, I have
no reply to make to him. Are you the repre
sentatives of these carrion ?" "Sir," I answered,
"we come to, you to fulfil, loyallY and cour
teously, the commission intrusted to us by our
friend." "Are you the representative of these
wades?" Victor Noir replied, "We are the
representatives of Our friends." Then suddenly
advancing a step, and '-withontprovocation on
'our part, Prince Bonaparte slapped Victor .
Noir with his left hand, and, at the same time,
drew a revolver of six chambers, which he
bad held concealed In his pocket, already
cocked, and fired upon Noir, with the muz
zle of the pistol close ki him. Noir
staggered, pressed both hands on his breast,
and sank down in the doorway by which he
had entered. The cowardly assassin then
turned upon me and fired. I then seized a
small pistol which I had in my pocket, and
while I was endeavoring to free it from the
sheath the wretch rushed on me; but when he
saw that I was armed he retreated, stood be
hind the door, and aimed at me. It was then
that, comprehending the ambush into which
we had fallen,and reflecting that if I fired, there
would not be wanting those who would
cry that we 'bad been the aggressors, I opened
the door which was behind me-and rushed out,
crying Murder ; as I went ant a second shot fol
lowed, which passed through my coat ; in the
street I found Noir, who had strength to de
scend the stairs, and was dead. These are the
facts just as they transpired, and I look for
prompt and exemplary justice for this crime.
'rune Da FOLTVI'LLEL
Pants, , <Tan. 12.—The funeral of Victor
Noir took place to4lay. The government; ex
peeting a demonstration, made extensive pre
parations to. preserve order, and at an early
hour all its police and military arrangements
were complete. Daring the morning the peo
ple begin to gather around the house where
the remains were lying, coming from all parts
of the City.'
At 11.05 one thousand workmen from the
faubourgs bad passed up the boulevards on
their. tray to the funeral. Many carriages, with
ladies dressed in mourning, drove to join the
procession. At 1 P.' M.. deputations of work
men visited the remains.
The streets, from the Place de la Concord to
Rue d'Auteuil; were filled with vast throngs of
people. Carriages containing noted persons
were surrounded by the crowd, and their occu
pants cheered. The weather was cold, and a
heavy rain was falling, but the numbers con
tinned to increase.
Between two and three O'clock more than
one hundred .thousand persons Were assembled
in the vicinity of the place where - the remains
reposed. Henri Rochefort attended the funeral,
and his appearance called forth a great demon.
stration of enthusiasm from the people.
The remains were taken to Neuilly for in
terment. followed by a long pro Cession. The
crowd.wanted to parade with the body through
Parts, but Louis. Noir, brother of the deceased,
refused his consent. At the cemetery there
were frequent shouts of " fire to Republitme z "
and the " MarseillaiSe" was repeatedly sung
during the day.
While Rochefort and RaSpail • were coming
down Champs Elysees, .accompanied by a
great crowd, who were singing the "Mansell
laise," they were stopped by a regiment of
troops, and the crowd was ordered to disperse.
Rochetert, claiming his right as deputy, passed
on to the. Chamber, where be arrived pale and
much excited.' Champs Elysees was then
cleared by the troops.
Two battalions were stationed near the hall
of the legislative body, and a few regiments
were massed in the boulevard close at hand.
The crowd finally disperSed without resistance,
but some arrests were made by the police.
PARIS, Jan 12, Midnight. —Up to this hour
there has been no conflict between the troops
and the people, and the city is tranquil. The
students went in large numbers to the funeral
of Victor Noir, but created no disturbance.
PAzus; Jan. 12.-1 n the "Corps Legislatifthe
committee to whom was referred the demand
of the Procureur Lmperiale have pronounced
in favor of the arraignment of Deputy Roche
