Cross fired a second shot,' which also seemed to take effect. Flinn still kept on his feet and passred into the jail, running across the: hall directly to Mortimer’s cell, As he reached the cell he grasped the dobdt, but fell and died-in a few minutes. A purse was found on his person containing $26 80. The principal reason for believing that this man is a brother of Mortimer is that lie had several keys ‘on.a flat steel ring on which was engraven ‘William J, Flinn, Lynn, Mass.” On the arm of Mortimer the name of “Charles Finn’’ is marked-in India ink. He had been to see Mortimer two or three times since his incarcer-gtion. On his person were found two" revolvers and a knife. This man has been-stopping several days at the City Hotel “under the name of Williams. The jailers seem to think that Flinn had no accomplices in his daring undertaking, and that he rang the bell by reaching the wire in the yard.

Here the me ciatanns Cae See A most outrageous scene occurred on-the evening of April 7th, in the Legislature’ of Pennsylvania, which in point of ignorance and corruption, says the.Post,ia only excelled by that of the State of Arkansas; Mr. Elliott hadassigned thejchair to Mr. Newmyer, of Alleghany, and the pub‘lic calendar was under considerution. A few bills had. been. passed when Mr. Elliott made a motion to susr pend the order and proceed to the consideratién of Senate bill “No. 1,¢71f without giving the title of it. Calls-were made for the title; but the Chairman decided the motion was earried, and the Clerk began the. reading of the first section -of the bill. Members on both’sides of the House called the Chair, but he paid. ‘no attention to them. {fhe members} crowded around. the desks=-with threatening menace, and made -perfect confusion, “Hancock, Greenwalt, Houseman, Lawshe, Ramsey, and Mahon advanced with, thréats “Shame! shane! Put that socker out.”. Then ‘Jerk him out of the chair “Choke the shaker off.” Thus it went from bad to worse. The angry threat and doleful howls reminded one of the stormy scenes of some of therevolutionary assemblies, . Mr. Hancock called upon Mr. Newmyer to leave the chair, as he had forfeited the respect of the House. The Sergeant-at-Arms was called, but to no avuil. The members were not in the mood to be silenced by the ordinary calls. ‘‘Let us leave the hall and go out,’’ said Mr. Haneoek, ‘if such outrages are to be put upon us.” Mr. Lawshe, ‘a stalwart member, his face livid with anger, cried out: “If Pyou mean fight you can have it right here. You have opened thé ball aud can have.it tight now.”’. Mr. Ramsey made the hall ring with his fierce calls. When Mr. Newmyer commenced to explainy-it seemed as if the whole House would baw] out in one loud chorus. Mr. Newmyer . had against. this gag-law. _Cries_-of . YOU IMPOSTORs _ ¢ ’ Hlow are you now?

Some may ask the question, “From whence comes this gold?” We will remind them that the Idaho and Eureka mines are—but a little ‘way up the creek, and though every invention, including the most_ improved and modern, are used tq prevent the escape of the precious metal, stilt untold amounts of fine gold are continually perculating-thro’ the quicksilver and nets set for its capture. The> water” carries this down the creek, and it naturally finds a lodgment in the crevices of “the bed rock in the creek. Here the me ciatanns Cae See A most outrageous scene occurred on-the evening of April 7th, in the Legislature’ of Pennsylvania, which in point of ignorance and corruption, says the.Post,ia only excelled by that of the State of Arkansas; Mr. Elliott hadassigned thejchair to Mr. Newmyer, of Alleghany, and the pub‘lic calendar was under considerution. A few bills had. been. passed when Mr. Elliott made a motion to susr pend the order and proceed to the consideratién of Senate bill “No. 1,¢71f without giving the title of it. Calls-were made for the title; but the Chairman decided the motion was

earried, and the Clerk began the. reading of the first section -of the bill. Members on both’sides of the House called the Chair, but he paid. ‘no attention to them. {fhe members} crowded around. the desks=-with threatening menace, and made -perfect confusion, “Hancock, Greenwalt, Houseman, Lawshe, Ramsey, and Mahon advanced with, thréats “Shame! shane! Put that socker out.”. Then ‘Jerk him out of the chair “Choke the shaker off.” Thus it went from bad to worse. The angry threat and doleful howls reminded one of the stormy scenes of some of therevolutionary assemblies, . Mr. Hancock called upon Mr. Newmyer to leave the chair, as he had forfeited the respect of the House. The Sergeant-at-Arms was called, but to no avuil. The members were not in the mood to be silenced by the ordinary calls. ‘‘Let us leave the hall and go out,’’ said Mr. Haneoek, ‘if such outrages are to be put upon us.” Mr. Lawshe, ‘a stalwart member, his face livid with anger, cried out: “If Pyou mean fight you can have it right here. You have opened thé ball aud can have.it tight now.”’. Mr. Ramsey made the hall ring with his fierce calls. When Mr. Newmyer commenced to explainy-it seemed as if the whole House would baw] out in one loud chorus. Mr. Newmyer . had against. this gag-law. _Cries_-of . YOU IMPOSTORs _ ¢ ’ Hlow are you now?
