Another Placed of the Phtrslx Park Asaaialns on Tilal Tne Informer's TeaUmony. DuLiir, April 16. Daniel Curley, indicted for participation with the murder of Lord Cavendish and Burke, was placed on trial this morning. Dr. Webb, one of the counsel ass'gned to defend the indicted men, aöked to be relieved from that duty ' after the case of Curley wss disposed of. The Judge stated he would give the request due consideration. The case for the prosecution was opened by Murphy. lie taid neither the feeling of indignation tt the crime, nor panic in regard to themselves, should influence the Jury. He th-n detailed the circumstances of the murder. Murphy stated that Farrell, the informer, would be cilled to prore the prisoner's share in the plot to murJer officials of Jrelan J, at.d particularly tell how the prisoner swore him in as an Invincible and instrucfed him hea the murder of Forster was projected to stop the Secretary's carriage by 8?iznr the reins. Knvanacgh and Carey, be sM, would be placed n tue stand to detail the movmenu of Curley n the day cf the Phtenix Pari murders. I'e-terCa-ey, brother of James Carey, the informer, would swear that after too rannten he was detailed to watch Kavanauzh, the cardriver.who.it was feard, would "in form," and vhc Curley desired to have mur dered. A servant clrl was the first witnessed called and fully identified Curley as one of the men . she met in the I ark on the Cta of May James Caiey swore jat before Burke wes Stabbed that hs (Carry) Lean!

Did cot think Burke deserved to be mnrdered, but woaM not have cried at anything that happeneJ to Fcnter. Upan the conclusion of tne testimony cf Farrell the Cunrt adjourned uctil to morrow. Curley mntaiued an indiSerent air throughout. Adams, anofher of the conn-el for the defense, applied to be relieved from further duties at the end of the trial of Curley. The effscs of the letter rec.-ied by the foreman of the Jury which tried Joe ßra'Jy, threat ening ne wonll fce JtilKd unless a veraict oi DOteuilty was found, was rhown t-day by the fact of a special Jury panel rallfd in the case of Curley. Fif'y person? failed to appear, notwithstanding warned that a fine of 2100 would ba imfK-d n f-nch ab-cntoe. llKAUl'S TRIAL. Beginning ot the Ce Against Rrady, Charged With the Killing of Cavendish acd Itarke. Dcbli5, April 11. The trial of Joe Brady, m the charge of murdering Cavendish and Burke, began this morning. Notwithstanding the fan it was known that all absentees woald bt fined 100, many Jurors on the panel failed to appeer. The case for the Crown was opened by Mr. Porter. lie pointed out to the Jury that the duty they were called upon to perform was one of the most serious that conld fall on citizens. He exhorted ihera to dismiss from their minds altogether anythin? they had read or heard of in connection with the Cisa and be guided by the evidence produced at the trial. Porter described tbVcrime as one of enpar alleled atrocity a crime that had shocked the whole civilized world. lie recounted the wtll-known details of the aflfair, and paid a warm tribute to the character and life of Burke and Cavendish. He gave Frparticilars of the organization of the "lnvincibles,,, who, he raid, doubtless looked npon theni'clves as an invincible band, but the law was stronger than all those concectei with the plot, and looked upon them as guilty in the eyes of Ood, as was Brady. He declared that the object of the conspir acy was to remove all whom they regarded aa tyrants, probably with the ultimate purpose of forming a Kepublic, of which. the four original leaders of the murderous Kans. Mallett, McOffry. Curley and Carey, would be the leading nlrita. He referred to Sheridan's share in the crime, bis undertaking to provide arms

when there should be a call for them. Brady

and his class were among those always pre pared for murder, but they were, without doubt, entirely indifferent as to the ultimate objects of that murder. Brady was at hand when the various ambushes were laia ior Forster. Connsel for the defense interposed an earnest protest against the Crown counsel beinz Buttered by the tjouri to prejuuice me Jury against the prisoner, Brady, by mak ing assertions like tnese, wnicn cuuiu not be proved. The Judge refused to interfere. Porter conclniing, declared Carey be put upon the witness stand. There was no absolute rule of law which would prevent the Court from accepting his evidence unac companied by any other tes-timonv, but there certainly could De no vana odjccuuh when, as would happen In the present cae, there would be produced conclusive and corroborating evidence to fortity Carey. This case should teaca ODe lesson, mat that there could be no honor among members of such a Society. The men who had insticated and warmed it into life, the men who had supplied it with the funds which encouraged it to carry on its de signs, bad tied to loreign ianas. If there was any larther prooi requires oi how the conspirators deserted those unlawfully leagued with them, it was f urnishe-i by the fact that the Crown had even in this case been compelled to provide means for defending Brady from this terrible charge. The first witness called was r arreu. me informer, who testified at a preliminary ex amination of the prisoners in the Kilmainham Court House. He repeated the testimony given at that time. James Carey was the next witness. Iiis evidence was the same as before given. Upon the conclusion of Carey's direct examination the Court adjourned for the day. Carey's face was flushed while giving his evidence. One of the knives found in the Kinglend Basin was produced that Carey might dentify it as the one supplied by bbendan, from London. Murphy, the Crown coun sel, stated the authorities know who Num ber One is. and expect a photograph ot urn mysterious person to be produced. DR1DV CONVICTED. The Phoenix Park Murderer Found Guilty And Sentenced to Death. Dcblix, April 13 The trial of Joe Brady was continued this morning. The defense called s clerk named Kennedy, who swore that h9 spoke to Brady, who was accom panied by a girl, on Domineck street, be tween 5 and 7 o'clock, on the evening of May C. He recognized Anne Meagher, who testi fied yes'erday, that she was with Brady on that evaning, as the girL Witness said he at om t Brady tbef jllowingday. The latter declared that the murder would ruin the Ciuse of Ireland. Dr. Webb, of the Queen's counsel, leading counsel for the prisoners, said be begged to stibmit a respectful protest against any evidence beirg allowed in this case which would btar upon the existence of a conspiracy Jprior to May 3, even though the evidence wer excluded by that means which would throw licht on a p'.ot existing before that date to murdtr Burke. The enly exception to this principle would be th&t ihn evidence which concerned the words and acts .f the prisoners might, with propriety T?d according to the rules of evidence, be admitted. Id support of bi? position Webbcite-I various authorities, running frora the time of GJward I. down to the present, Ilesaid: "The prisoners were first arraigned before this tribunal oa the charge of conepiracy. This was followed op by tLe more serious charge of murder. I contend euch a combination of charges is unprecedented in the history oi crimical cases." The Court reminded Dr. Webb that the present indictment was not conspiracy and murder, but a single indictment of murder. Dr. Webb continuing, said: "The irdict ment for conspiracy to murder, your Honor, may only ba b-cd upon evidence Roinp to s'jow thera was a design to murder some d-finite person. TLe law regulating evidence of aidi and abettors in caes of conspiracy couid not be made to apply in the present ce." Snlli-.an, for th! defense supported, these Tiews. I.rter, for the prosecution, replied that tho evidence given by Kavanangb yes-tt-rdsy fgainst Brady was only cf a kind wbicit related to his own doings orior to the mordtr. In facf, it simply showed that Karftcaunh received his instructions as fj driving, ar.d waited for Brady. Adams, for the defence, declared a change was made in Kavanaagh'a eyidence yesterday. His sudden discovery that it was äejith, an 1 not Delaney, whom he drove to the scene of the murder with Carey, was, as any one could cl?rly ee?, a story concocted between him (Kavac&URb) and Carey. There were other discrepancies between the evidence given by informers and that of other witnesses by whom the Crown sought to back ud their perjuries. With ome solitary exception no witness for the Crown had evtr set eyes cn Brady before the Cih of May, yet they now claimed with one accord they were able to recoznizs htm es the man who they saw in Phtrnix Park that day. If the Jury believed these witnesses t: be mi9' taken, then the case rested solely on su picion. Ike evidence civen by informer was of a doubtful character, end the unre liability of their evidence was too clear tabe commented on. If the Jury would Eel the evidence of the innocent girl Meagher against that of the inf imom Carey, liar and hypocrite yes, liar and hy iocrite and mar derer, too, by profession as well as practice. they would undoubtedly declare ia accord with the facta, probabilities and evidence that Bady was not euilty. The Court here said the points raisad by Dr. Webb pgai08t the introduction of evi dence could not be sustained. Af:er Adams' speech for th defense Jnde O'Brien begin his charge. The Jude finished his charpj at thirteen minntes after 3 o'clock, when the Jury retired. They did not remain lone a ay, tor, alter about forty minute, they sent word they had reached an ajreemonr, and, being summoned beck to their benches, announced amldat breathless silence in the Court that Joseph Brady was guilty of murder. Tho verdict of the Jury wj..s rendered hve minute btlore 4 o clock. When the verdict was read a deep but sup Dressed murmur went round the Court Room. rnd Brady, who up to tins time bad been singularly composed and free from emotion, turned ahen pale. Dr. Webb started up to make a motion, and after complete silence had been re stored, and before the Judge prononccad sentence of death, said in an impressive voice: I desire to move for an arrest of iudrcent lie alleged that under the crimes act the Jury which bad heard the caee and had just given in its verdict was not leeally formed: that the prisoner had not received notice that he was to bs tried before a social Jury. The motion was denied by Judg O'Brien who now said to the prisoner: "Have you anything to eay why sentence of death should not now be pronounced noon yon?' B.-ai? responded in a loud, clear and firm voice: "I am not guilty of the charge which the informers bare a worn on me. These men would swear away the life of any one to nave their own. Sen'enee waa then r rononnced that on th 14th Of May next Joseph Brady be hanged. After the sentence liradj, who had recov erel his composure, rose in his seat, and

wit1! solemn veheann: protested his inno

cen -e of the crime. In the street the announcement of the verdict wesrectivd with marks of the utmost disfavor and condemnation. ASSIGNED. Hai shall & Co., of Pittsburg, Fall for 91,500.000. Pittsbcbo, April 16. James Marshall & Ca, iron pipe manufacturers and one of the argest firms in the city, made an assign ment to-day to George I. Whitney for the benefit of creditors. The liabilities are $1,500.000 and the asse ts about $1,250,000. The failure was caused by too extensive speculation in pig iron. Since 1379 James Marshall has been purchasing largely of pig iron under the belief that the price most advance. The dullness of trade after the lore strike. then the uncertainty in reeard to what Con gress would do about the tariff, and finally the failure of the expected advance anr the tariff bill had been passed, all contributed to precipitate the crash. The Fittslmrg banks are the largest creditors, but they will ose nothin?. as thev have collateral ior their loans, which will rcalizs the amonm of the paprheldby them.

Wii8Hi5eTjtf April 15. A slight panic appears to prevail in northern Minnesota because of the prevalence of the smallpox among the Indians on the Leech Lake Reaer vation. The Secretary of the Interior re ceived the following dispatch to-day frora the Secretary of the Minnesota Board of Health: Major Allen, in charge of the Govern ment works in Northern Minnesota, reports to me that Indians exposed to smallpox there, and wearing infected clothing, are wandering around the country. The Gov ernment instructs me to telegraph this re port to you, and to ask that a competent person be instructed, with full power to act promptly in this matter." To-dav'a mail, however, brought a letter from the physician on the reserva tion, in which be makes lizht of the Bcare, but at the same time conveys the idea tnat he can not be expected to leave the Indians in his charge at Vmnebago and Haven's Point, quarantined in their wigwams, to vol unter?, and undertake the new responsibility. ."bhould I leave before the arrival of the clothing"' says he, "who would accompany the special agent and point out the location of those entitled to them? Is it reasonable to request gratuitous services of anybody here? They have already done much, and now that the Government work is again in full operation, every man is expected to devote his time to prescribed duties, and the necessity of sanitary precautions is obvious, when the new clothing is carried to the scourged region of Bowstring. Since mv last report to you I bave ascertained a total of forty-eight have died. Any one there having sufficient confidence in their nonaubcepiibility to infection should closely inspect with thoroughness the twenty-six Ittiuns, cctang and turning their clothinr." H then flatly refuses to go the relief of another agency at the price of desertion of his present charges. JUST LANDED, Seven Hundred Kinleranta. Moat of Ihern Impoverished Irish People.

Failure of the Grain Firm of Elles Al KnaasM, Evanaville. Evaksvillk, Ind., April 13. Elles A Knauss, millers and grain dealers, tailed here to-day. Liabilities, about $G5,000; as sets, $10,t)00. The largest creditor is exCongressman Heilmau, to whom the firm owed for endorsements and loans about 310,000. They have transferred to Heilman their mill, coutents, machinery, books, etc., and given him a mortgage on individual property, covering all they possess, for a consideration cf $33,000. Tne outside creditors may get nothing. The firm has been an important factor in the grain trade here. Its operations were extensive and varied. During the past vear taey have made larre shipments of flour to Manchester. Liverpool ard London, England; Rotterdam and Am sterdam, Netherlands. While this conti nental trade has not been unsuccessful it has placed available assets beyond their ready conuvl, which, coupled withlheir trade in the Southern States, left them cramped and pressed. To these catise mainly, and to losses sustained by backward collections and business disasters, they have fallen into their present trouble. This is the first failure of any importance in Evausville for fifteen ra oaths past, and other commercial interests never seemed more prosperous than at the present time. This failure, therefore, is not attributed to local causes, bet to circuutances outside of the general scope of the commercial province of Evan8?ille. POISONED MY H13 SON.

The steamer Rottinghill, from New York: April 1 for London, put in here after a terrible ex pen e nee at sea. Tuesday evening alter tailing a gale began which raged throughout tLe eight. becoming a cyclone Wednesday morning, when the ship was thrown on her beam ends. The two days following a hurricane prevailed, the midship boom was torn tmj and dashed against the tkylight of

the engine room Into which the boom and glass fell, seriously Injcring the three rngineert. All the door of the deckhouses burst, the rooms wert gutted, tbe galley wrecked and a great part of tbe shin's provisions carried away. Thirty-three feet of solid steel bulwarks were swept into tlw sea and thirty feet more damaged. Stay chains were torn from fast eningsasif scantlings; multitudinous ceaj drowned the fires ar.d threatened to over whelm thj-ship. For Jorty-eight honrs the ship, still en her beam ends and pemps choked, the men 3sept bailing, but were only aNe to keep tte water from paining. The live slock in te bold were swimming about all this time and having no fodder. Friday morning the men went in a body to Captain Bennett and demanded to be taken into rort or haver the shin aban

Cove n or Blackburn's Pardon Bareau. Louisville, Ky., April 10. Sereral newspapers have recently published a statement that an alleged pardon broker had agreed foi the sons of $100 each, to procure from Governor Ulackburr ' pardons for thirteen wo men indicted in Lexington for keeping disorderly houses. Governor Blackburn to-day stated tiat he knew of the indictments and ' the e fie ots that would probably follow tbe sensational trials in Courts. To guard sgainst this he consulted with citiiens of Lexington of high standiegi character, morals ad integrity as to the propriety of issuing pardons, and not one of these but fully endorsed his views. Being: thus endorsed b7 good men he determined to issue the pardoas, and did so. He-eays no one ever approached him on tke subject. Had any one come as a pardon broker; they would have beerr summarily ordered -out ct the Executive office, as nothing could incense him more than an attempt to inUenoe the Executive clemency for the mere sake of gaining reward on the part of the applicant, The name of the alleged pardon broker has not developed. The Impression gains ground that tbe publication grew out of a desire on the part of political enemies to injure Judge J. H. Mil!gan, of Lexington, . who- wrote letters to the indicted women as their attorney. The Toonc Ku. Mostbeao, April . 10.
