The remainder "of the prisoners were remanded: It k stated that Field, a juror On the Hynes case, yam was stabbed yesterday, handed a mite from the box to Goddard, of the Emergency Committee. The notoriety occasioned by the comments in Freeman's Journal on this incident made Field a marked man, although he explained that the note was of an innooent nature. Field is able to speak this morning, but is still very weak. In connection with the stabbing of Field it has transpired that the Ladies' League once wished to rent the upper part of Field's premises on Westmoreland street for an office, but Field refused the application and afterwards let the rooms to Goddard. In the proclamation under the •Repres- sion Aot citizens are informed that the powers grated by the Curfew Law will be used only against persons believed to be engaged in criminal designs.

A TELL-TALE FATE. Strange Revelations by the l'hurlow 'Weed. Late HOW MORGAN WAS DISPOSED OF. Drowned in Niagara Hirer by a Iiand et Enibuslasto. A New York telegram says: •Thurlow Weed in September last made an affidavit, ,which has only now been publielaed, refer- ring to the fate of Morgan, who,exposed the secrets of Freemasonry. He Says, speaking ot some Years' ago: " ColoneisSimeon B. Jewetteof Clarkson; Major Simnel Bar- ton, �f Lewiston, and John Whitney, of Rochester, passed an (seeming at his house. In ;he course of the evening, the Morgan affair •being tlae •prinoi-, pal topic' of • conversation; Colonel Jewett turned to Whitney with emphasis and said' John, what if you. make a clean breast . of it ? ' Whitney 'looked inquiringly at Barton, who added, Go ahead,' and Whitney then related in detail -the history Of Morgan's abduction and fate: The idea of suppressing Morgan's eintendedasxpesure-of-tlae-seorets-of-Free- masonrY was fleet suggested by a man by the name- of Johns. It was disousiied in lodges at Batavia, Leroy and Rochester. Johns Suggested that Morgan should be separated trom Miller, and placed on -a farm in Canada Vest. For this pur- pose he was taken- to 'Niagara and placed in the magazine of the fort until arrangements • for. settling . him in Canada • were completed, but the Canadian Masons, disappointed them. After several meetings of tee lodge in Canada, opposite Fort .Niagara, a refusal to have anYthing 'to do with Morgan left his "kid- nappers" greatly perplexed. Opportueely a Royal Arch Chapter was installed at Lewiston, and the occasion brought a large • number of enthusiastic Masons together. ,a bauquet the ohaplaine-Bev. F: H. Cummings, of Rochester—wee called on for a toast: He responded' with peoulier emphasis and in - the language of their ritual;• " The enemies of our Order, may they find a ,grave six feet deep, six feet long, and six feet due east and west.' Im- mediately after that toast, which was re- ceived • with great enthusiasm, Colonel William King, an officee in' our war of 1812, ; and then • a member' of, the Assembly from Niagara • County, called Whitney, of Rochester, • Howard, of Buffalo, Chubbuolt, of Lewiston, and Garside, of Canada out of -the room and • into a oerriage furnished by Major Barton. They were driven to Fort Niagara, repaired. to the magazine and informed Morgan that the arrangements forsending him- to" Canada were, completed end that hie family would soon follow him. Morgan embarked in this boat; which was,rowed to the mouth of the river, •where .a rope was • Wound around his body to each end of which a sinker' was attached. Morgan was -then thrown overboard. He grasped thergan- wale of the boat convulsively. • Garside in fording Morgan to relinquish his hold was- cieverelY bitten.. Whitney, in concluding his narrative, said he was now relieved from a heavy load; that for four years ,he had not heard the 'window rustle or any other noise at night withoutthinking the eheriff Was after him.' 'Cal: JeWett; looking fixedly at Whitney, said, Weed can hang you now.' 'But he won't,' ,was Whitney's prompt ,reply. Of course a secret thus confided to nee was inviolably kept, and 29 years afterward, while attending a National Republican. Convention at Chicago, John Whitney, who then resided there, called to. say that he' wanted kite -to -write out what he once told me about Morgan's fate; to be signed by him in the presence of Witnesseci, and to be sealed up and published after his death. I promised • to do so before leaving Chicago.. - There . was no, leisure, however, during the . sitting of the ConVention, and even before its final adjournment I had, forgotten what I told Whitney. I,went to Europe, a,nd while in London wrote a letter to Whitney asking him to get Alex. B. Williams, then a resi- dent of Chicago, to do whet I had so unpardonably.' neglected. Thatletter reached Chicago one week after. Whitney's •death, closing the last and only chance for the revelation of 'that important -event." Mr. Weed' closes by. a declaration of the: motives which. actuated him throughout the wholeaffair, and speaks of those who were ii associated with him in those troubled days. Terrible Assault by a crazy Tramp. A Detroit telegram • says: Terrible excitement was created at Bielefeld op "Wednesday evening by a, murderous assault • committed -by' an insane German tra.nip, whose name appears to be George Garty, en Thomas O'Connelly, a Lake Shore baggageman at that station. It appea.re, O'Connelly saw the tramp, stark naked, crawling under the caboose of a freight train just as it Was leaving the station about dark. He drove him from his poeition and the tramp assaulted him with a large clasp knife, inflicting twenty terrible *win& on his pereon. When O'Connelly, was dis- covered he was unable to describe his assailant, and a party started in -pursuit toward Riga, at which citation the man was found still naked and armed with a coupling epin...-11,aeevaes—quicklye-overpovenreds-and- , taken to Blissfield, where the. efforts dew officer and bajf a dozen determined aitisens alone prevented his being summarily bung by the excited mob.

At Port Colborne it was quite didinot, and it was supposed that another nitroglycerine explosion had occurred on the canal works between that place and Stonebridge. • Inquiry from the telegraph office at the latter place indkated that this was unfounded. At Thorold, about twenty miles distant frorn Port Colborne, thenhook was felt distinctly, but no theory as to its cause could be adVanced. Intermediate towns report feeling it more or less dis- tinctly. It was supposed that the shook had followed the canel, but a report juet received from Drummondville states that in that village the shook was felt with con. eiderable distinctness. 'Welland, Allan - burg, Port Robinson and other places report feeling the shook. ' Den Thompson is in Chicago. The celebrated case of Dr. Edward Pynohbn, (*huger) with complicity in the death of Buddie MoCrae, of Chatham, at Buffalo, lute again been postponed. , In Montreal yesterday Mr. Juetice Tor. ranee dismiscied the exception taken to the Attorney -General of the Province interfer- ing in the suit against the Montreal Tele- graph Company. lEEAREIJIA CATASTROPIIIE:' Awful Eflecto ot a Btuanalte lExplosion— A, Mother and Children Torn in Pieces. A Pittsburg (Pa.) despatch say: A • frightful accident occurred near Bellevhe, about twenty miles up- the Monongaheli River; the other night. A coal miner narned Forsythe procure d several kickio1 dynamite,. for the purpose of catohing &h. As the explosive was frozen he placed it near the kitchen stove to thaw, and started to work in the mine a alert distance from hip home. • Fifteen minutes later Forsythe was told that "there had been an exploeion at his house and all of his family had,heen killed. Half frantic at the news he ran nome and found that the report wee free, in part at least, After Foreythe left the house, his wife and children sat down to eupper at a table, near the. stove. While tbey. were talking; and just as the children were laughing about some joke, • there was a terrific report. The stove was blown into fifty fragments: The 'entire end 'of the houpe, which is a one -storey . frame building, was Wrecked, and the mother and her little ones, Who were hurled in different dire°. tiods, were out by flying pieces of iron and ,glass, and violently thrown against the walls. The eldest boy, aged 8 yes -meshed jept„ arisen to get a drink; and was noi naore than two feet horn the stove' and facing it when the explosion odoarred. The mother was seated with her back to the stove, and the two youngest boys by, her side. The boy nearest the dove received the full force of tile explosion. He *as thrown a, distance of twenty feet and was found in a corner of the yard, his body being borribly mangled. He died from the effecte of his injuries about two Skims after the occur- rence. The entire lower portion of his body was opened as - though the flesh had been out away with a knife, exposing the intestines. Both arms were twistel from their Bookete and one leg was almost severed at the knee. Mrs. Forsythe was out and gashed in a mostagonizing manner. She had been sitting close to the stove. The pieces of iron struck her in over thirty places, giving her the appearance Of a person who had been riddled with buck- shot. She cannot possibly recover. Charley Forsythe, the youngest of the children, aaid about 5 years old, washorribly bruised and out, and died not long after the accident occurred. Robert Forsythe, aged 7 year, was out about the head and body. His injuries are serious. Forsythe is almost crazy abcnit the affair and constantly ex- claims that he is to blame for the disaster. He wanted to commit suicide, but was prevented. The man in reality does not -seem to have known the character of the explosive. • Mrs. Forsythe was a daughter of Mr. Huey, one of the firm for whom Forsythe worked. _ CADDS TIIA.T BEAT s, ALL. Most Wonderful Hands , at Whist Dealt in Cincinnati. A. Cincinnati telegram Says: _Yesterday afternoon, at the Cuvier Club House, Clay Culbertson, Jerry Iterated; Alex. 'Starbuck. and E. G.

Berated,- dealt. Each player, as he arranged his cards, appeared to be laboring under selme unusual excite- ment. Mr. Culbertson, whose turn it was to play, and who generally is very prompt in placing his card on -the table, delayed the play until Mr. Starbuck broke the 'ominous silence Which - prevailed by etolainaing : "Gentlemen, I have the most remarkable Whist hand I ever held.' I hold thirteen hearts." "And I," remarkedMr. Culbertson, "hold equally as remarkable a. laa,nd. nave thirteen spades." "-And I," nervously said Mr. Kersted, have the thirteen -diamonds." "Of Couree,1 hold the thirteen trumps,": quickly defined in the • dealer, -Mr. Web - [stele To , say the players were unduly excited at suoh an_expose of the hand's but, feebly expressed their inental. condition at the time. The conversation that ensued • relative to this. unexpected event in whist, among the Players and membere, as :they dropped in dining the afternoon, was decidedly animated.- Nc one 'had ever heard of holding such, hands in whist. A 0E480 occurred in a Boston club a' year or sago where a player held the thirteen trumps, anct also animilar case in a New YOrkeilub, but aside from these two no one could report - even ouch halide - as these. Mr. Zanoni, one' of the old' whist players in the city, on being told of the four remarkable hands. • Statedthat in all his experience in the seductive game of whist he had • never • heard of such a deal being constuninated. He thought that some one had previously been playing a game Of selitaire with the pack in question, and that when the dealer picked them up (it being the oustorn here- to play with ewe, decks) he made but one ,or two shuffiervdth the cards, without dis- turbing their relative positions, and that the out was made as it was between the • two suits. Prof. G. W. Smith, another expert, was simply amazed at such a result of a deal. It seems to be one of the impos- sible, and it might not occur again during a generation of playing. Mr. Clement Olha- ber, who was present, was willing to make a handsome weger that it would occur again in 9. period of seven years, and attheCuyier _Clekt.e....S.uohnephertomenahdealiceevidentlye worth a record in the annals of whist.
