Nrw Yoe.K, Au-URt 24 -Four murder- ersof women- rutrickl'ackeiihiim, Jack Ifais, f colored), James Nolan and IVr oiiiand (.rolin, were handed in the vard of the Tombs prison yesterday. Ther . ie mo hcaiioms aim two men wen; handed on each. IV-keiiham and Nolan were first executed 011 the acaffold which was erected on the Franklin street side of the prison. The drop fell at G:53 o'clock. Liht niinntes later Lewis and Carolin were han-ini; from the seaftold on the Ix'onaid dtrect side. The sheriff and Fader Sheriff Sexton entered the prison at 0:r,.'i, followed by twenty deputy sheriff, all in black clothe and wearing silk hats. Kacli olllcial woi-e hia l.ftib'e of oflice and car ried a stud. They marched into the corrior, ti n of them taking their places at the Leonard street hide and the others at the Franklin street wall. The lint jury .f twelve men till newspaper representative entered the prison Yard, and two minute later the second set of jurors tiled in and marched to their place. The last rites of the church were iulimuistcrc.l to J acKcnliain una Nolan, and at 0:411 they emerged from the jail accompanied by a pried:. The arms of the condemned were pinioned, and over the shoulder of each hnnu' a black cup. l'aekenham's face was pale, but his manner linn and l,e looue.i imiiuicniniy lino me iaecs iironnd him. Nolan hardly appeared to leali.e his position; tnero was a half defiant look on his countenance. After the men had taken their places 011 the fcalTohl they both grasped the hands of the priest, wrin'ins them fervently. Tle-n Han-man Aikiuson tied a white cord ahont ti.e h-;:sof Nolan, just. above the ankles. His assistant did a lihc ser vice for Faekeiiham. Instanlly the black cap were adjusted, and at a siur- nal from ticinson, inu ii"-"', were jerked into the air. At 7:10 Nolan and l'acki-nhani were pronounced dead, but their bodies were permitted to hiuiu' for ten minutes longer. While this gcene was litmu enaei.-o, .u-.i....m.....- were beinu' made for what proved to be the most ahnckinz spectacle that had ever taken place within the walls of the Tombs prison. Two minutes after tar olin and Lewis had received their last ,. ;tnl consolation they entered thn iail vard, a.-compiinied by priests. l.ewi.4 walked iinstenilil.LJJiiLL' fSt.lf wr 'lhe fire ori'-inateil in the rear of John Snyder's restaurant at an hour when all tlie iieople ln the house wer sleeping soundly. Just the hour the tire bterted is a uivsttry, but as the restaurant cook is missing it is fair to oresume that the accident occurred while makin" the lire in the bij range. Theawful speed witli which tlieHames swept up through the iiuuiiinsusetit the use of keroseue by a cureless cook. 1 wo isilice officers were a block away when the fire sturted.- T hey hurried to the scene nnd broke in the front door of the building. There was no si;n of life in the buildiuj, and the officers hurried from one door to auotlier to arouse the inmates. Murmuring were lirst heard, then the buzz of many voices, which finally changed into a wail of terror and n'ony fnnn men, women and children strii-pliu-.' for their lives. The fire es capes leiulinu from the burning building to the tenement house next door were soon filled witli half-naked people, fran tic to rech the street In tin' meantime the fire department had arrived and had begun work on the flames and were assisting 111 rescuing the frightened inmates. The flames were extinguished easily and the peo ple on the lire escapes were all landed safely. Not one person escaped down the stairway and the names of the few who tried it aro found in the list of the dead. The search for the dead was begun as anon as jmssible. The remains of old William (bunion were discovered by the side of the bed in his room on tbe second floor. In the rooms of the Wells family in the middle of the floor knelt the mother, Mary Wells, and m her dead embrace were her children, June and Thomas. They had been smoth ered, ami not a burn or blister defaced their countenances. The nine dead bodies were taken to the Thirtieth street station and later friends claimed the remains. Snyder, keeper of the restaurant in which the lire broke out, has been ar rested 011 suspicion of being responsible for its crigin. An insurance policy for 1,000 on his stock was found 111 las possession, and one of his employes states that he, found fat scattered over the floor of the restaurant. Snyder ami William Brooks, his col ovei I-cook, were, arraigned -before the coroner this evening. Snyder was com mitted to the tombs without bail and brooks was sent to tho house of deten tion as a witness. The police say they have a good case. ... , One of the most notable incidents ol the fire was the gallant efforts of Ambu lance Surgeon Schnefer, of the New York hospital. When he arrived on 11, 11 ehnncn of nnv escaping by tho stairway was cut off, as it was burning fiercely and tho halls were, filled with smoke. On hearing that, Nellie McCieoghim, aged twenty, had been cut oil Irom escaping to tho top story, ho boldly mounted a scaling ladder and got into tho tilth storv by smashing a window. At last ilw.'.Winr was seen again nt a window caarying Nellie Mclieoghan's inanimate form. He bore Die girl to a store 011 the corner, but when he attempted to revive licr he found she had perished m his arms. HARRISON AT HOME.

I am here to-dny to say to you that I will never fail to stand by yon. Attorney General Miller then spoke briefly, saying he was not prepaieu to ssy anything of intorest and did not think any man had a right to mar such exercises as to-day's by an unconsidered extemporaneous address.

Crops are also much improved in: the east portion of the cotton region, nnd while the weather was lavoraoie hi Mississipi and Alabama, boll worms nnd caterpillars are doing innch damage to the crop, causing serious appreehen sion. i. The weather of the week has been generally favorable in New England and lhe Middle Atlantic states. Corn was improved, although previous heavy rains have caused permanent injury to various crops, namely, in Pennsylvania, the tobacco crop will not meet expecta tions. In New York little more than half the usual crop of hops is expected. Beports indicate that potatoes are still rnttiiir in New York and Pennsylvania; ! a fine crop of tobacco is reported in Connecticut, and in JNew jersey an crops were improved and the prospect for fruit is more promising. I On the northern Pacific coast recent rains were favorable for grasses and an excellent fruit crop, while an average yield of wheat has been secured, but the hop crop in this section will be short.
