EXECUTION OF THREE MU«IEHERSIX NEW YOHK THIS MO3RIN0.

When it was found that admission to the scaffold was only to be gained through the narrow gateway in the fence that ran across that part of the yard in which the gallors was erected, a most disgraceful scene ensued, and-the police in vain struggled to perserve order, a violent rush was made for the gate and all those people who had the right of entrance were compelled either to fight every inch of their way, or to remain outside for a period- of ten or fifteen minatea, the struggle raged furiously and the condemned men in their cells must have heard the commation excited by the desire to witness their death struggles. Something like order was restored at last. The police succeeding in forming a line aud the sight seers, who were unable to get into the inner yard, contented themselves whlth climbing upon a coal bin on the outside of the fence, and seizing every spot of ground from which a glimpse of the gallows could be had. Comparative quiet was then maintained until the moment of the execution# After the

and Tompson, colored men, ^were hanged in Tombs prison at 9:35 this morniug, for the murder of Abraham Weissbure, a peddler, in September la9t. The Evening Post says, the seene at the Franklin street entrance to the tombs before the opening of the doors, was suggestive rather of a tammony hall ward meeting, than of an assemblage of men, collected to witness the enforcement fif the laws. The crowd increased every moment, and long before nine o'clock, long lines of men, all clamorous for admission formed in Franklin and Center streets to the entrance to the prison waa completely blocked, and tho police were forced to use no small degree of force to clear the way, for the officers detailed to preserve order within the walls. About 0:15 the doors were openod for the admission of the reporters, and a rush from all sides followed. The police insisted on the exhibition of the badges, but ia the confusion many persons secured admission who had no right whatever to the con" sideration. When the interior of the prison was gained, and ticket holders made a rusn toward the place of execution, but were checked by the police in front of what is know as the ten day house, and a dense crowd formed of reporters, Deputy Sheriff's, special Deputy Sheriff's, politicians and others, were mixed up in an inextricable confusion, aud pushing and struggling were resumed.

of Sheriff Conuor at the prise

on there was not much delay. The men were pinioned, as usual, in their cells, aud at half past niuelney were led out to the gallows. Weston walked first followed by Thompson, each supported by the Catholic priest Ellis, who brought up the rear, was attended by four clergymen of different denominations. As they stood on the scaffold the attendant clergymen whispered a few last worts in their ears and the sheriff's assistants fastened on the ropes. No tioie was lost for at 10:25 o'clock Sher* riff Connor gave the signal, the weights were let go and the bodies of the three murderers were lifted int« the air. A most horrible scene then oocurred. Weston died easily, no motion of his frame being perceptible, except a brief shudder and an occasional contraction of his legs.

Thompson apparently sufferred more his bodv shivered from head to foot, his breast heaved, and he raised his arms several times, working his fingers convulsively, butthe mode of

Ellis death was thecruelist of all. At the last ^moment, after the noose had been adjusted, he suddenly turned his head and disarrainged the position of the knot, before it could be redjusted the signal wa3 given, and the weight fell, the knotslippedand became fixed beneath his chin, he begun to writhe terribly aud placing his feet against boards at the side of the scaffold ho attempted to raise himself and relieve the strain- upon his neck. He then swung around and convul* sively seized Tompson, who was hanging next to him, and again endeavored to raise himself. He even suceceded in twice clasping bis legs around Tompsous waist and by this easing his neck, was enabled to hreath more freely and to prolong his agony, he even seized tho ropo just above the knot, his arms having been tied too loosely, and he died so his handkerchiet which was in his hand when he was swinging in the air, fell over his shoulder. He was beard to cry alcud, "Save me!" and his breath was plainly discernible.as it issued from beneath the black cap. that covered his face and strong men turned away pale and trempling from the sickening spectacle and there wera murmius of "take him down" ''cut the rope" but fortunately there was no need of double execution, in his struggle be again shifted the knot and the noose suddenly closed around his windpipe and he was strangled to deatb.

Hpe ial to the Indianapolis Sentinel. Greoncastle, Ind. Dec. 16.—The dedication of the new Masonic Hall took place this afternoon, with -imposing ceremonies. Temple and Greencastle Lodges vacated their old quarters after an occupancy of 18 years. The fitting and furnishing oi the new hall cost ?1,300. It is magnificently upholstered and decorated. Thore can be but few more elegant temples of Masonry in the State. J. S. Nutt, as Worthy Grand Master of the State, conducted the ceremony, assisted.by the deputies. Speeches of much brevity, but highly Appropriate, were made by Col. Matson A'. Jackson and Maj. w. A. Brown, while the college choir filled up the intervals with the most exquisite anthems. The balls were crowded with Free Masons, their friends and citizens. Tho rooms were illuminated at night and thrown open to the people for a sociable. In spite of the bitter wind, the hall was crowded to overflowing with the brave and fair of the city.

THERE is no mistake,no uncertain or hidden meaning in the cut at the head of this column. It certainly means business it means that Christmas is again a1 hand. Chris Kingleis abroad in tho land.

Of all tho people who will next week celebrate this glorious natal, possibly few know much abou: the great war of words which has been waged lor ages over this identity as the exact day on which our Savior was born.

An authority on the subject discuss ing this phase says: Is the 25th of December really the day on which our Sa. vior first showed himself in human i| form in the manger at Batblehem Ths evidence which we possess regarding the date is not only traditional, but likewise conflicting and confused. In the earliest periods at which we have any records of the observance of Christmas, we tind that some communities of Christians celebrated the festival on the 1st of January, others on tho 20th of March, the time ot the Jewish passover, while others, it is said, observed it on the29ih of September, or Feast of Tabernacles. There can be no doubt, however, that long before the reign of Constantino, in the fourth century, the season of tho new year had been adopted as tho period of celebrating the nativity, though a difference in this respect exiBted in the praotice of the eastern and western church es, the former observing the 1st of January, and the latter on the 25th of December. The custom of the western church prevailed and both of, the ecclesiastical bodies agreed to hold the aniversary on the same day. The fixing of the date appears to have been the act of Julius I, who presided as

Pope or Bishop of Rome, from 337 to 352 A. D« The circumstance is doubted by filosheim, but is confirmed by St. Crysostom, who died in the beginning ol the iiftu century. This celebrated father of the church informs us in one of his epistles, that Julius, on the solicitation of St. Cyril, of Jerusalem, caused strict inquiries to be made on tho subject, and therefore, following what seemed to bo tho best tradition,^settled authoratively on the 25th of December as the anniversary of Christ's birthf the Eestorum omnurim metropolis, as it is styled by Crystoaom.

Thus far for ancient usage, but it will be readily comprehended that unsurmountable difficulties yet exist in respect to the roal date of the momentous event under notice. Sir Isaac Newton, indeed, remarks in his "Commentary on the Prophesies of Daniel, that the fact of the nativity, and rrost of the other ecclesiastical anniversaries were originally fixed at cardinal points of the year, without any reference to the dates ot the incidents which they commemorated, dates which, by the lapse of time, had become impossible to be ascertained. Thus the annunciation of the Virgin Mary was placed on the 25th of March, or about the time of the vernal equinox, the least of St. Michael on the 29th of September, or near the autumnal equinox, and the birth of Christ and other festivals at tho time of the winter solstice. Many of tho Apostles' days—such as St Paul, St. Matthias, and others—were determined by the days when the sun entered the respective signs of the ecliptic, and the pagan festivals had also a considerable share in the adjustment of the Christian year. No precision of date can bo adduced as regards Christians, respecting which the generally received view now is, that itdoesnot correspond with the actual date of the nativity of our Savior. One objection, in particular, has been made, that the incident recorded in scripture, of shepherds keeping watch by night, on tho plains of Bethlehem, could not have taken place in the month of December, a period generally of great inclemency in the region of Judea.

So much lor the discussion. 'It is a mooted question, and so let it remain.

Whatever may havo been tho origin^ al' meaning of the term, it is now generally associated with beautiful, china, delicate toilet sets, superb tablet' service, acd all the little niceties which make a woman's heart fairly bound with joy.

JEWELS AND OHNAMEXTS

of gold and silver have always been accounted the most appropriate pres. ents which could be offered ou tho natal day of Christ. When the Nazarene, who is roverenced as tho Savior of the world, lay a helpless infant in the manger, the wise men of the East offered costly presents of jewels at his feet. The custom takes its date from this although much earlier 6uch tokens of affection were constantly bestowed. Pure,sparkling, rare, they are fit emblems of true love and fit insignia of rank to the wearer. The season again approaches when such things must be bought and Riddle is prepared for it.

from Gath, to Askalon, throughout all the a ones and tropics, children are the same in one consuming and ever present love for candy. Choice candy such as is seen every day now, perfectly fresh, at J. S. Humaston's confectionary, on Fourth street, has an ir-j-ssistable charm. If you can't give your child a costly prasent, you can at least make it happy, thoroughly happy for one day, with a pound or two of candy.

You will find here everything cheap as tho cheapest.

WNITE & MEWHINNY

who are located at Sage's old stand, on Main street, declare their intention af selling every toy in tho establishment before the holidays are past, and the manner in which they are marking down prices would seem to indicate that they will do as they say. They are desirous of closing out their stock of toys, that they may givo their entire attention to the other branches of their business. This is an opportunity which does not often present itself at this season of the year, and all should avail themselves of it.

A MORE SUBSTANTIAL PRESENT than a good pair of shoes or boots, we cannot think of. Fathers and mothers who wish to make presents to their children will do well to consider the fact that a present of this kind will be of more usa to tho average boy or girl, than a thousand lol-de-rols or gewgans. Go ye, therefore, to J. S. Jordon, and select from his elegant and complete stock, some substantial covering for the pedal extremities, a tribute .of the heart to the feet as it were.

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.

A good sound business education ig one of those things that can not be knocked out of a man's head by any kind of adversity. Accomplishments may detoriate, glitter may turn to dross and beauty of character bo dragged into tho mire of the world's scorn and contempt, but a thorough, practical business knowledge once acquired, as is acquired by all those who graduate at Garvin & Heiuly's Commercial College, corner of Sixth and Main, will linger with a man all the years of h:s life. It is as enduring as'principle, aa lasting as truth itself, for it is fonnded upon correct principles. And so if you want to present your son or nephew, cousin, neico or daughter with tba) that enables such an one to secure that priceless boon, go there and secure a scholarship in this superior school, and let it lie under the plate at the Christmas or New Year's breakfast table.

They have beautiful artcles in Genuine Russia Laather, Turkey Morrocco, Pearl and Tortois Shell,Gilt and Bronze French Cut Glass, etc., etc., for teo numerous for us to remember or enumerate.

It is probable that the pleasantest social gathering in the city last evening was at the residence ot Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Melvin, on Eagle near Fifth. The family was Invited to spend the evening at Mr. George Haslet's, and upon their early return found their domicile bad been invaded, lhe table spread,aud the fumes of supper prevading the atmosphere. The head of the bouse were led into the parlor in undisguised astonishment and Dr. Hyde, in a very appropriate and brief address, presented them with.a quantity of elegant china presents, the most conspicious being a most elegant chamber-, set of the finest imported '. German ware, the united donation of several of their warmest friends. Mr. Melvln's only reply in his great surprise was the word "Thanks." The party then tendered their hearty congratulations and dispersed to the dining room and partook of the oysters and other good things, and spent the evening thereafter, until quite midnight in a very social manner. The entire affair, under the management of Mrs. Haslet and Mrs. Hyde, was very pleasant to all concerned.—[Express.
