POSITIVELY ONLY FOR TO-DAY A JiROOKLYNiTB IP HO HELVED UAS'Q SLAVE DEALER GORDON, Nicholas Christiansen, In His Home on CliKunuey Street, Reviews the Casi The Tilal, Conviction and Hanging Graphically Described, On Chnuncey street, about midway between Keid and btuy vesuut avenues, stands a little English basemeut cottage, which evidently dates back to the early period of the city's history. The number 118 is painted in gilt letters over the front doorway. Liviug comparatively unkuowu iu this unpretentious dwelling is an Aged mnn, who, a little over a quirter of ceutury ago, played an important part in ouo of the greatest life dramas that ovoi occupied the attention of the New York cnmiuul Authorities.
Nicholas Christiansen was muiuly instrumental the couuctiou and execution of the notorious slave trader, Cupt. Nathuiiel Gordon, in 18(11 He was one of the jurors iu th it famous ise and the only one of the couwctiug hotly who, from the first, mam-timed that a erdict of guilty was the only decision at which to arne His arguments aloue fin illy brought about tfie couviotiou of tfie notorious prisoner Mr I hufttinusen ns found at home recently by a Times reporter. Ho is 80 ears of age, having been born in England in 1811. lie or mo to Amcrioa in 1815. nud ut the tuuo of the arrest of Cipt Gordon was engaged the tea busiucss at Barclay and Vnsey streets, New York.
Ho is at present attached to the First Product Police Station ns a special officer, lor years lie was well known ns the soxtou of the lermont Avenue Reformed 1 hurch and also of the State Street Cougregatiou.il Church. Ho is the father of eight children, the graudfather of four and the great grandfather of five At the reporter 8 request Mr. Christinnsen reviowed the story ot the arrest, conviction oml death of Capt. (Jordon, which excited international interest twenty-nine years ago. He said NICHOLA8 CHRIRTTANSEN.
The case of Cnpt Nathaniel Gordon was the first and only oue in this country iu which capital punishment was inflict 1 for the crime of engaging in the slave trade. Nathaniel Gordon followed the profession of the sea from eailylifo Beginning, as most persons of thAt calling do, as a cabin boy. he rose by degrees to the position of Captain. It is said that on one occasion, hen leaving the oo v.t of Africa with a cargo of slaves, he whs pursued by a British mau-of-war, his vessel is iptured and Gordon escaped iu fem de attire. He was a pale-faced, durk-ejed little man, with nn appearance which would discredit the idea of his being engaged in so oof irious a traflic.
lie was about 28 years of age, was five feet seveu inches in height and weighed 140 pounds. He was born at Portlaud, Mo. Capt Gordon was arrested, with two of his mates, by Is uah Kymlers, the Mar-dial of the district, and lodged in Eldndge Jail Ou tfie change of Administration, by the succession of Abraham Liucolu to tho Presidency, Rj uders was removed aud Robert Murray was appointed in his stead, lhe prisoners, who had been enjoying tnauy privileges (apt. Gordon occasionally having beeu allowed to spend a uight at borne with his family were fnAced under stricter surveillance. On nn uspection of their quarters the newly made Marshal nrnved at the conclusion that Eldndge Street Jail was not sufficiently secure for such important prisoners, and accordingly lie ordered their removal.
They were transferred to the lombs to await their trial. 1 hey hud hithorto folt but little concern At their arrest aud imprisonment there never haviug been as yet any oue hauged for their offense. Wheu they found that the new Administration was disposed to view the case in all ltb enormity, and to treat the criminals accordingly, they became greatly alarmed at their position. The wife of Capt. Gordon visited him daily' and did all lu her power to cheer him, asserting that the authorities would never hang him.
The circ*mstauces of his life and crimes os elicited upon fiis trials (for he was tried twice) were as follows Ills father wus a Captain in the American merchant marine service aud frequently took his wife with him One of the points insisted upon in the defense of the uufortu-nate Nathaniel was IhU his nativity was not proved to be American, as fie was born at sea and in British waters under the British flag. On the first trial, before Judge Ship-man and a jury, there was no conviction. On the second trial, before Judges NeUon and Shipman, which occupied court three days, the 6th, 7th aud 8th of November, 1861, he was convicted iestimony was adduced by Mr Delifield Smith, even from the West Indies. Thut imlefatigab official used every exertion to follow out the extreme penalty aud sentence of the law. Yet the counsel of the uuf ordinate man were not re-Ex udges Beebe and Bean were tireless in their eff rts to prevent what they conscientiously believed to be the inirnnla- tiou of au unfortunate and inuocent man ou the altar of fanaticism.
They failed alike before the court and the President. Ou the 30th of November the following order was ide by the Judges in the United states Circuit Court: 4 Motions for au nrrestof judgment and a new trial having beeu argued by the counsel for tfie Government aud the prisoner, aud mature deliberation having beeu had, it is now ordered that said motions be domed. Mhereupou the United States District Attorney moved for Judgment upon the prisoner. Tfie court then proceeded to pass judgment as follows, as pronouuced by Judge blnpman It appeirB from the evidence iu this case that in the summer of i860 you sailed in the ship Erie from Havana, in the Island of Cuba, bound to the coast of Africa. You were moster of the vessel, and had on board a competent crew And a large amount of provisions, of a kiud and quantity appropriate for food for a large number of persons, and such as is usually carried out in vessels which are intended for the slave trade The ship also had on board a large number of water casks, us well as a quantity of liquor, which latter was to be left in Afnoa, probably exchanged for the freight which you undertook to bring back to Cuba.
In commnud of this Bhip, thus equipped and provided, you proceeded to the Congo River, on the west coast of Africa, and there, after landing your cargo, and sub sequently reshrpping all, or nearly all, but the liquor ana filling your water cans with fresh water, you drop your vessel down the river to a point a tew miles from its mouth, aud in a few hours, on the afternoon of the 7th of August, you took on board 807 of the infialutanis of thut couutry, thrust them, densely packed and crowded, between the decks of the ship, and immediately set sail for Cuba. On the morniug of the 8th, in the Atlantic Oce.m, about fifty miles from coABt, you were captured by the United States war vessel Michigan, your ship taken to Alonrovia, where ail the unfortunate victims of your crime then living were puton shore, and you were brought in your ship to this port. Upon these facts yon nave been accused, brought to tri il betore a jury of your countrymen and foUud guilty of a crime for which tue laws of your oouutry adjudge you a pirate, aud inflict upon you the punishment of death, lu the verdict of the jury it is my duty to say that the court fully concurred. The evidence of your guilt was so full and complete as to exclude from the minds of your triers all doubt. Yon are soon to be confronted with the terrible consequences of your crime, ana it is proper that should c.ill to your mind the duty of preparing for that event which will soon terminate your mortal existence and usher you luto the presence of the Bupreuie Jndge.
Let me implore yon to seek spiritual guiduoe of the minister of religion, and let yonr repentance be ns thorough and humble as yonr emue was great. lo not attempt to bide ita enormity from yonrself think of the cruelty aud wickedness of seizing nearly a thousand humau beings who never dul you any harm; and thrusting them Between the decks of a small ship, beueath a burning tropical sun, to die of disease or suffocation or be transported to distant lauds and cousigued, they and their posterity, to a fata far more cruel than death. Think of the sufferings of the uuhappy beings whom you crowded ou the Erie, of their helpieae agony and terror as you took them from their native laud, and especially think of those who per- JAMBS GORDON BENNETTS RADICAL CHANGE Of VOLICT. It Pulltser Hu Beu Imitating Hit Kooontricltlee? Two Schools of BporUmen Charley Rood's Stock Form Hr. Flagler's Two Orchestras.
Among the many so-called revolutions" which have taken plaoe in the journalism of this city daring the pint six months the most remarknble is the reoent ohange in the policy of the Het'ald. From the day that James Gordon Bennett, then Junior, dismissed from the servioe of the Herald thirty old and semi-mutinous members of the staff down to ton days ago, the Herald has been the moat su- tremely autooratio journal in this laud. verything was subordinated to Mr. Bennett, he tolerated no other personality. Every despatch ordering news, every letter, every contract every direction bore the signature of Mr.
Bennett. No matter whether the proprietor was in Pans or Russia or India he was ever proseut iu spirit in the office at the corner of Ann Street and Broadway. It used to be said that no member of the Herald staff could achieve distinction without risk of dismissal or degradation to the humblest rauks. Mr. Bennett said to me on one occasion that he conducted his newspaper ou the principle of the Order of Jesuits.
He exacted from his employes absolute loinlty and fidelity. If I want ft man to go to Rome to interview the Pope I want lnm to go at once, if 1 want the same ambassador upon his return to leport the landing of immigrants at the Barge Office I want him to do so without complaint I am the Herald." In this way it hns come to pass that editors on tho Ji raid have been transferred to the circulation department and reporters have been lifted up to editorial heights in a siugle night. To the surprise of everybody the Herald cameoutafew days ago with the names of three members of the directing staff printed at the editorial masthead just beiow the anoient legendary landmark, James Gordon Bennett The business manager, night editor and city editor found themselves suddenly consigned to oonspicuity It was a step beyond anything that journalism even rural journalism had ever seen in this line, for rural journalism usually stops with the name of the Associate editor. The general impression is that this ecceutric parture upon the part of Mr. Beuuett is significant.
Finding himself imitated even as to European residence, yachts, Mr. Beu-nett seems to have made up his mind to furnish the world of journalism with an example of unselfish independence. Naturally the inquiry along the line is Whut next About the time that the World moved into Its new building the success of that journal was emphasized by a ukase from Mr. Pulitzer to the effect that henceforth the name of no employe of the Wot Id should ever appear in the columns of that Journal. A faithful night editor, who had been fifteen years iu the service, was peremptorily dismissed for permitting an item about a riiuner eaten by social members of tho lioWd staff to appear next morning in an obscure column.
My Will to be the Law of the BoWd was the decree of the proprietor sent across the ocean. The crushing out of all personality an 1 individuality had been a cherished idea of Mr. Pulitzer And it was executed with Mucovite severity when the dome of the monument to his successful career had been gilded. It is believed that Mr. Bennett heard of this and that his extreme departure liberality was designed to let the American people know that he Mr.
Bennett was big enough, strong enough end prosperous enough to use above tho petty jealousies and sordid selfishness of a parvenu rival. Anyhow Mr. Beuuett is receiving credit lor his broad liberality toward some of the men who help him to make and take care of his great aud powerful newspaper. Perhaps if he should hear that some rich New York nowspaper proprietor had taken to driving four m-haud he would instantly stop coaching as a pastime and institute a course metaphysics. A curious illustration of the oontrnst between the new and old schools of gentlemen sportsmen, growing in numbers and importance in this country every year, fell under my notice a morning or two ago iu Lel-monicoa Twenty-sixth street cafe.
A friend with whom I was chattiug called my attention to a table almost the angle of Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, at which was seated one of the most remarkable characters on the turf, the picturesque old Teuuesseau who has for yeais been a familiar figure to thousands of people at Saratoga, aud ho is ns well knowir-m the lesorts of men about this town 4iB he is ou every rAce track the United States. It was, of course, no other than Charley Reed. It was just ns I was lookiug at his almost stern and WMither-benteu features, his hxed and melancholy glance, and the well known pe-culiuiities of his headgear, which is ell manufactured to order for him Pans, that another gentleman sportsman, perhaps as much a representative of the new as Keed is of the old school, entered the cafe and strolled in a leisurely manner towards the desk. For it is a great thing to be nble to ask for your mail at Delmouicos. The newcomer was Mr.
T. Luis Onativia, whose Spanish descent is evident kfrom his name, were it not unmistakably indicated by the clear ohvo of his dark complexion and his coal blaok hair and eyes. Mr. Onativm. who hns at vnnous times been mentioned in connection with the nomination to the throne of Dudedotn, was unexceptionably attired, as he always is in public.
A closely httiug sack suit of mixed goods, of some pepper and salt consistency, sat jauntily upon his straight, slender figure. 1 he fingers of one red glove protruded, after the stvle now in vogue, from the breast pocket of his coat, while the other he wore upon his left hand. In his right hand he earned a cane of the mode, slightly crooked at the top and strengthened as well tis ornamonted by a silver snake A brown derby, pointed patent leather shoes and a delicately tinted puff scurf of summer hue completed the picture As the full effect of this little tableau vivnnt fell upon bis thoughtful eyes Mr. Reed slowly drew his chair back fiom tho tublo at which ho was tented nearly across the room, and. rising with due deliberation to his feet, exhibited his owu stalwart proportions, neatly but not noticeably clad, in their full dimensions.
His attention seemed to have been transfixed by tfie white flower in Air Onatmas buttonhole. As be caught the latter's eye he made a courteous inclination with his right hand, and with his left gently elevated his hat an inch or two above his grizzled locks As a like salute answered his greeting, he exclaimed with emvressem*nt, and with as much gravity as though. he were going to mass, Ah, I zmisb go speik to my friend Onativia. I watched tfie meeting ith curiosity, as who wouldnt who knew how far ro-v moved these two were from each other in all that makes a community of interest, save for the one single love ich has for horses and racing. On this occasion they evidently met on equal ground, nud the serene aplomb with which Mr.
Keed elevated his right elbow to the level of his chin and thon, extending his hand with the animation of a man of the gay world, which is none at all, permitted Air. Onativia to take the tips of his fingers and to wish him good morning. After which pleasing little ceremony each Went his ray. On his fine old stock farm down iu Tennessee "Charley Keed has scores of brood mares and twelve as valuable thoroughbred stallions as are to be fouud in the land. The farm is au oasis, even in a land flowing with milk and honey, and it is there that the hrm of 0.
Keed A Nous breed yearly scores of thousands of dollars worth of colts. It is not, however, regular profits, which cannot fail to be returned from such a magnificent establishment, that give tins curious old gentleman his interest in life. The spirit of speculation lends existence its only zest for him. He loves the atmosphere of loss aud gam in which all fust living of to-day moves and has its being, in the Stock Exchange. iq railroad management, iu too many banking enterprises, in many forms of conservative business as well as ou the race oourse.

That would pay my expeuses, aud 1 would have nothing left to live for. It sounds odd in tfie ears of men Sl to-day to hear how old-timers" tike Keed speak of John Morrissy aud the great men of that time. Mention to Keed tfie name of the pugilistic Congressman and he will replj hjr, I served as cook ttuder Momsay, meamus thereby that he owed to Morrissy a great deal of his start in life.
Aud (hereby hangs an interesting little story, A good many years ago Reed weut down to New Orleans to tempt the fickle goddess and make a fortune. The bank roll ith which he went into business was advanoed him by Mr. Morrtsay. aud when he returned from his Southern experiences some years thereafter with a fortune of $80,000 no one was more delighted thau Morrissy himself. It was with this 80,000 that "Charley Keed bought an interest the famous Bara-toa clubhouse, which Morrissy had started some years before and in which Morrissy and Altert Bpenoer were then partneiw.
The three were associated for a km period, and hen the share belonging to the Morrissy estate was sold, there feoug jOj shorsa all, Keed was enabled to Nobody to meet Mr. Flagler could possibly conceive the idea of him at sight that he is the nmstor spirit of the greatest monopoly the world is ever likely to know for after Standard Oil there can come nothlugbut some great chauge in econornio conditions. A well-proportioned man of serious, quiet face, verging past middle life end showing the white marks of time lus grizzled brown beard, J. H. Flagler is so quiet and so kiudly in muuner ns to impress himself favorably on whomever he chooses to have Sreseuted to him.
For tho choice is no means an extensive one And of the men of affqirs the lower city probably not one in a hundred knows him by sight. A characteristic anecdote of this remarkable personage iu the arena of contemporary human action will give newspaper readers a better idea of the muuner of the man than would a half a dozeu woodcuts and biographies It was not long after the new refinery of Oil Trust was built in South Chicago at an expenditure nil in all of millions and ith a working force of unexampled numbers, that Air Tlaglcr concluded to take a resting spell and run down to Florida. IheAlcair and lonee do teou Hotels, which globe trotters 8 ly resemble Aladdins palace their sidcudor ns well as iu the almost magical celerity of their creation, wore jiistCueu boiug uoisod abioa I in the world They were tho creatures of Flaglers fancy, the pet children of his nn igiua-tiou, aud in caring for them, enoiiuous as was the expense attending their maintenance, ho was aftei all simply rel ixing his unud from the enormous business strums he had been uuder Chicago, New York, Berlin and, indeed, all the ceutres of humuu activity. For not one has up to this time escaped the attention of the Standard Oil Octopus. That well kuowa orchestra leader, Joyce, has since the occurrence laughed over his eiDorieuce with jlr.
Flagler at St Augustiue, and tuere is abundance of other evidence to the correctness of this uairntive. Joyce had been sent down to St. Augustine in charge of two bands of thirty pieces ouch, one a string nud the other a brass orchestra It was the opening season, and after the expenditure of millions wud preparations which would have enabled the pleasure seekers of the world to find easy accommodations, theie were not more than ten guests iu the house Air. Joyce's musiciaus, sixty iu number, were strung out through magnificent suites on the second and third floors, each having a large apartment allotted to himself, aud even then making no more liupressiou of human presence along the great murblo corridors and among the tapestried apartments than a half dozen hull boys would on a floor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Morning, afternoon aud oveuiug tho stnug band played in one of the reception rooms or great hallways, while outside in the courtyard among towonng palms auil marble fountains, antique statuary and rare exotics, the brass band discoursed its sonorous strains, waking tho echoes which theie were none to appreciate.
When meal time came, Air. Joyce aud his thirty players were lost in one end of the big dining room, while the ten guests, scattered here aud there like currants in a puddiug. inado no more impressiou upon the vast solitude. There were droves of waiters, and one or the other of the orchestras played continuously. But the solitude at last became oppressive to the good hearted Joyce.
So one morning he sent word to Mr. Flagler that he desired to speak to him. Air. Flagler, said he, Ive come to suggest that we could get along iu-t as well here with only one orchtistm, which I am sure under my direction could furnish quite as much music the house ought to lavish upon ten guests, and that we dispense with the services of one baud and send it back to New York. It won't cost you auything, ns I have just heard of a good engagement.
Besides, Mr. Flagler, he contmued, it seems a shame for me and my oichestra to occupy sixty of the best rooms the house. We could get aloug with fifteen, 1 am quite sure, and Before the economical Joyce could proceed further with bis scheme for reducing Mr. FJaglors expenses the Standard Oil magnate ihterrupted him with a courteous but firm wave of the hand and sanl Mr. Joyce, whenever you have any suggostious luukiug towards an increase in the comfoit, luxury and completeness of my house 1 shall be glad to hear from you.
Nothing I have is too good for my guests, and I do not propose because there are few of them uo to deprive them of a single jot of that which they would be entitled to were all the crowned heads of all Europe here their company. No experiment has as yet been made in this city, by the way, ns far as I am informed, with the peculiar building material which Mi. Flaglers aichitects made use of at ht Augustine. It was a mixture of sea shells and Portland cement, which hardens until it becomes as solid as stone and hives off in the soft southern sunlight a peculiar pearly gleam which is gratifying to the eye and artistic to a degree. One of tho fnds of rich men in this Bection now is the building of racing machines on the swordfish principle, which they call yachts.
Norman Aluuro, a Nova hcotiau, who has Amassed a fortune here printing story papers and pirated cheap editions of foreign novels, hns spent quite a sum of money ou fast boats. With tho nusistaure of the llerreschoffs he developed a few eais ago a Bvift launch which lie died the Now Then, bhe cost him about TV), 000 and gave him speed of about tueutj five miles an hour He now has a new machine called the Norwood, which has shown a speed of thuty miles au hour aud which be.it the swift Baudy Hook bout, the Aloumoulh, in a square race down the bay lust week. Mr. illiam K. Hearst, tfie youthful editor and proprietor of the ban Francisco Examiner, has recently taken to marine pastime of the Dexter order.
I years ago he bought a small steam yacht here and hud it shipped to San hrancisco by rail Strings to say. while tfie Pacific coast can bo.it of several ship building establishments, nobody has yet designed or built a steam yacht ou that edge of the continent Having obtained cousid-erablo amusem*nt from his yacht, Mi. iiearst gave the Heiicschoffs au order for a swift launch of the Norwood itteru. She was to have been completed 1 ist May. Air Hearst came here in Julj, expecting to have a mouth's sailiug upon the bound and Hudson River in his new craft.
A trial trip was made about srxweeKs ago, wueu the boat showed a speed of twe.ity-seveu miles an hour, bhe went back to the yard for some alterations, which were intended to push her speed to thirty miles an hour. Air. lieurst is srili waiting for his cruiser and the season is diawing to a close. After he gets possession of her he will have an elephant ou his fi mds and a mighty pioblem to solve To send her to ban Francisco by water would practically shake her to pieces and wear her out, to say notlnug of delay, bhe is 80 feet long and Id feet ide and, therefore, cannot be sent overland. When 1 saw Air Henrst the other day he had about concluded to seud the vessel down to the istfimus aud there have a couple of euormus fiat curs built aud ran her across by rail.
The load is broad gauge aud there Are no tunnels or short curves Perhaps he may conclude to wait until tlje completion of tfie Nicaragua Canal. While it is possible that these rich people get a great deal of fun out of these rapid boats, it is generally agreed that they nre in no sense comfortable. All the room is given up to machinery. They shake abominably. One hour on a pleasure yacht of the Ata-lautn variety would be worth week ou one of these torpedo launches were it not for the exhilaratiug delight of showing your heels to all the steam craft in jour vicinity.
The appearance in Wall street of wh it is culled a new plunger serves curiously enough to recall the extraordinary ups and downs of one of the most famous characters, ou his merits, who has liguied in that stouy way of lamentatiou in tfie last decade. Tfie now plunger is a young man of dapper appearance, buruiug, restless eyes, named Atwood. Two weeks ago the world had not heard of him, and it is not uncharitable to surmise that within two weeks he may be heard of no snore. Iu twenty day he is credited ith having made a quarter of a million by bis turns in Union Pacific and Burlington aud (Quincy. While it has been charged that he is oue of the many daring biokers through whom Mr.
Keene operates, the assertion has been denied. At all events, even with hn extraordinary prestige of the moment, Atwood is not so interesting a personage as A. B. Btockwell, whose suspension w.is announced oo the Consolidated Excb mge just about the time when Atwood's name was brat heralded to the public. Btockwell is still a young man in spirit and by no means old in years.
He was drawn to this Mecca of oapital from Cleveland ns Keene was from Bau Frnucisoo. It was sal 1 Keene brought $40,600,000 with him. while Btockwell brought $200,000 only. By Judicious speculation he increased this to $2,000,000, weut into Paciflo Mall, became a director and then President. Bo masterful was bis spirit and eo broad bis ideas in this position, that the other directors became alarmed and voted him out.

In the Just and generous heart the huiuble and the weak inspire compassion and call for pity and forbenranoe, and as yu ate soon to pass into the presence of God of the black man as well as the white, who is no respecteaf persons, do not indulge for a moment the thought that He hears with indiffereuoe the ory of the humblest of ins children.
Do not imagiue that because others shared iu the guilt of this enterprise yours is thereby diminished, but remember the awful admonition of your Bible: Though hand Join in hand tlse wicked shall not go unpunished Turn your thoughts toward Him who alone cau pardon, ho is not deaf to the supplications of those who seek His mercy. It remains only to pronounce the seuteuoe which the land affixes to your ci line, which is that yon be taken back to thecitv prison, from lienee you were brought, au 1 remain there uutil tri lay, the 7th day of February uext, and then and there, the place of execution, between the hours of 12 o'clock at uoou and 3 o'clock iu the afteruoou of tnat day, you be haugod the neck until you are dead, aud the Lord have mercy ou your soul.1 1 he death.wurrnut was then signed and the couvict handed over to the Marsh il. Btreuuous exertions were (made by the mother Hud vv lie of the uuftrtuuute manta save bun. Together they repaired to Washington, hoping that the clemency of the President might Unsecured. They arrived Washington on tho same morning that tho Piesulents little Ban died, and therefore oould not obtaiu tfie ilesired interview.
Had they seen the President it is quite likely that they would have succeeded gettiug, if not a pardou, at least a commutation of sentence. A respite of two weeks hud bean grauted. The wile uud mother of the prisoner returned from their fruitless jouruey to Washington ou a dark aud ruiuy night quite heart broken. The last meeting between Gordon and his family took place on Thursday evemug, and the interview between the culprit and his wife is described as beiug very affecting. Mrs.
Gordon, together with the prisoner's aged mother, called at the prison about 6 o'clock iu the evening aud remained with the condemned man about au hour, ile received them in a most affectionate manner aud talked most tenderly of his little sou, who was absent. He seemed to care little About hts owu fate, but for the well-being of his wife aud child he appeired very solicitous. The final separation took place about 7 oclock aud was a most uuful sceue to all present Boou after Mis Gordon retired from the prison Marshal Murray called upon the prisoiier and conversed with film upon the stfbject of the approaching execution. It was arranged that the execution sfioul I take place about 2 o'clock the following afternoon. The prisoner then bade the Marshal good night.
The remainder of the evemug was spent by Gordon writing letters to bis relatives and friends. He wrote no less than a dozen letters, one of Inch was directed to his mate ou board the Erie and auotlicr to his sou. to be opened when he arrived at the age discretion. Having desp itched these letters the prisoner commenced to smoke and continued iu the eujojiuent of his cigars until a late hour. At 1 30 oclock he weut to bed.
Nothing worthy of note occurred until about 3 clock A when the keepers were alarmed by the prisoner being suddenly seized with convulsions. He had takeu poison but was brought arouud by the physicians. NS hen sensible he begged of tfie doctors to let film aloue preternug, he said, to die by his owu hand rather thau suffer the Ignominy of a public execution. It has never been satisfactorily expi lined how or iu what manner the unfortunate mau procured the poison. Tfie 1 ist request Gordou made was to have a lock of his hair taken from his head and giveu to his ife.
Gordon tottered to the scaffold like a man half deait with fear or stupefied with liquor, it is hard to say which, lhe feebleness of the culprit, the agony with which he viewed the preparations winch had been made for his execution, the solemn and careworn appearance of the Marshal and his doputies, the presence of the military drawn up in line nil contributed to render the scene a most impressive and painful oue. Under the gallows Gordon staggered and would have fallen to the grouua had he not beeu caught by oue of tne deputios. iu another moment, however, be was str.nghteuel up, the signal was given, the axe fell aud the body of Gordon was dangling in the air.

OB1TUAIIY. Alfred Stuckey. Alfred Stuckey, for over thirty years a well-known resident of the Seventeenth Ward, died ut hiB residence, 110a Nassau avonuo, of a complication of diseases. Mr. Stuckey was in the eightieth year of his age.
He had been ailing for more thAn a year, and his death had been expected for mouths. Mr. Stuckey was a member of Mechanics' Lodge, 1. O. O.
of New York, aud Olive Branch Lodge, F. and A. M. The brethren of Olive Leaf Lodge, No. 233, I O.
had charge of his case and attended to him during his long illness, aud the members have beeu summoned to attend the funeral to-morrow afternoon from the Church of the Ascension, on Kent street. The Rev. Arthur Whittaker will offioiate. Hogan am Brogan. Police Justice Hogan's extraordinary lecture delivered from the benoh a day or two since on tfie failure of the New York police force to regulate the dives on East Tuird and East Fourth streets, which have for some time beeu the most awe-inspiring and pio-turesque portions of New York by gaslight, buds a siugular commentary iu the generally believed assertion that Police Gipt.
Bro-gau, iu whose district these outrageous dens are situated, has, duriug his inounibenoy of his office, amassed forturte of $150,000 on a salary of less than $4,000. No doubt police protection exists wherever a uniform police force exists. In other words, wherever men are put in authority there will be some among them who vqll accept gratuities for keeping their eyes closed. But the number of high oiliciAls in this city who hive saved from ft salary barely sufficient to support their families enough to buy country seats, yachts, real estate And liquor shops is startling aud not t6e overlooked. Now and then such charges as Justice Hogan has in effect recently made against Cupt.
Brogan are beard of by the reading public. As a matter of fact they may be heard iu any product in this city at auy time when onoe the maker is assured of immunity. Polio officers iu uuiforin aud out of uniform are notoriously to be observed amoug the frequenters of the low Water street dives, in which men of the "Frenohy kina congregate to meet women of the Shakespeare typer And there under the eyes of these oflioers, night after night, ns an eye witness has just assured me, negro men and white men of the lowest order are served with intoxicating liquors long after 1 oolock, when the law requires olosiug, bf white women in abbreviated costumes. A Social Gathering. There was a social meeting of the Tippe-onuue Club of the Seventeenth -Ward last evening at its rooms, in the Masonic Temple Building, Manhattan and Meserole avenues.
