Funeral of Mrs. ELWOOD.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Ida ELWOOD took place on Wednesday from the
family residence, 235 Potter avenue.  The interment was in Weehawken
Cemetery, where the services were held.  She was a lady much respected.  Her
husband is Mr. Charles ELWOOD, and she has left him and three children to
mourn her untimely loss.  Mrs. ELWOOD killed herself by taking carbolic at
4:50 a.m. on Tuesday.  She had a happy, pleasant home, but had been for some
time despondent on account of physical troubles.

An Unfortunate Affair.
The police of the Seventy-fourth Precinct state that there is hardly any
room to doubt that the man drowned off Hell Gate on Tuesday was Sigsmund
BRUENNE of Trenton, N.J.  The name is so entered on the blotter.  A number
of New York papers have accounts of the affair, but the story is terribly
mixed up and twisted.  Newspaper accounts should be more carefully written
in New York newspaper offices and rumors verified before publication.  There
is not enough care and attention to details.  Too much going off half
cocked.  Instead of the stern of the boat Maggie that was run into by a tug
it was the stem.  Now everybody knows, or should know, that there is a great
difference between the stern and the stem.  Again, the tug bumped into the
yawl rigged yacht Maggie at the time named.  Only one man was aboard her, so
say persons who saw the accident from Hell Gate shore, and in an attempt to
get out the kedge anchor he fell overboard and never arose.  The Maggie, it
appears, was trying to run through Hell Gate nearly all of Tuesday morning.
The wind had died down, but the tide was strong against her.  She tacked and
the heavy water carried her against the tug which was towing two barges.
She was carried by the tide on toward Sealy Rock.  The drowned man had the
kedge anchor in his hand and was attempting to jump into the shore boat
towing astern when he missed his footing and down in the water he went.  The
name Sigsmund BRUENNE is painted on her stern.  In the cabin was found
stores and provisions sufficient to last a month, rifles, ammunition and a
notebook with the name Sigsmund BRUENNE in it and his address No. 9 South
Broad street, Trenton.  He kept a clothing store there.  He was an eccentric
man.  His friends in Trenton know nothing about him.

Death of Mrs. SILBERSDORF
Many friends mourn the untimely and sudden demise of Mrs. Herman SILBERSDORF
at the family residence, 519 Kouwenhoven street, after an illness of only

afternoon.  The Rev. Dr. STEINFUHRER officiated and the interment was in St.
Michael's.

C. DEIFFENBACH's Funeral
Many mourning friends as well as relatives were at the funeral of the late
C. DEIFFENBACH at the family residence on Franklin street on Thursday
afternoon.  The Rev. Dr. STEINFUHRER officiated and the interment was in St.
Michael's.  Mr. DEIFFENBACH was a man of seventy years of age and was much
respected.  He leaves a wife, two sons, and a daughter.

Funeral of Little John E. KING

Of Newtown Ancestry
The Early Home of the Gallant Hamilton FISH, Jr.'s family
Sergeant Hamilton FISH, Jr, the young man who was last Friday shot and
instantly killed by the Spanish forces near Sevilla, Cuba, in the advance of
Theodore Roosevelt's troup of Rough Riders, of which he was a member, was
the great-grandson, in the fourth remove of Jonathan FISH, who was a former
prominent resident of Newtown, and who presented the land on which the old
Presbyterian Church now stands to that congregation as a free gift.
Jonathan FISH also built and resided in the celebrated "Corner House" now
the residence of Mrs. BROWN, on Hoffman Boulevard near Grand street, where
he died in 1728.  Sergeant FISH's great-great-great-grandfather Samuel was
also a prominent and highly respected resident of Newtown and always lived
in the "Corner House."  His great-great-grandfather Jonathan, likewise a
highly esteemed resident here, owned and lived on the old Gorsline place on
the Flushing road, now the club house of the Outing and Inning Club of
Elmhurst.  His great-grandfather Nicholas was a prominent officer, with the
rank of Colonel in the Revolution and made an enviable record as a brave
soldier. His grandfather Hamilton was Secretary of State under U.S. Grant's
administration and his father Nicholas is a prominent New York banker
residing at 58 Irving place. The Rev. Peter FISH, a former pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Newtown Village, was also in a direct line ancestor
of Sergeant FISH.  The graves of Jonathan FISH, Rev. Peter FISH and other
members of the family are still to be seen in the old town burial ground on
Court street, Newtown village, in the family plot.  Newtown can well feel an
interest in the brave young soldier who so gallantly rode to his death, for
he was indeed a worthy descendant of the brave Colonel FISH, and nobly
sustained the family name for bravery and patriotism.  Sergeant FISH proved
himself indeed an honor to his race and to the old town, the home of his
forefathers. [Newtown Register]

his inability to get around easily.  On Monday night he played cards with
his wife until late and went to bed just before midnight.  About 5 o'clock

Mrs. BEEKMAN's Body Found Floating in the River.
Charles MACKEY was out in a boat off Wardell street, Astoria, on Wednesday
morning when he saw a body floating in the stream.  He immediately called
for assistance and had it brought ashore and removed to a local morgue,
where people were not long in determining that the remains were those of
Mrs. Amelia BEEKMAN, al lady of twenty-eight, who recently disappeared from
Dr. KINDRED's Sanitarium, out on the Shore road.  She came from Texas and
had been under treatment there for mental disorder which came on several
months ago, on the birth of a child.  She had recovered a great degree and
friends were hoping that she would soon be able to return to them.  Her
husband was much pleased and made preparations for her return home.  Mrs.
BEEKMAN's body was somewhat decomposed, but the identification was made
complete by the attire which answered the description of Mrs. BEEKMAN's
apparel at the time of her disappearance, namely a navy blue dress with
white stripes and black velvet belt.  Mrs. BEEKMAN was five feet tall,
slender, and did not weigh more than ninety pounds.  Deputy Coroner STRONG
and the clerk of the Coroner CRONIN arrived in Astoria early in the
afternoon and viewed the body at the dead house.  They then went out to the
sanitarium and had a consultation with Dr. KINDRED.  On their return a jury
of citizens was summoned, the members of which viewed the body.  It is
understood that the inquest was set down for the next day, Thursday.  Mr.
BEEKMAN was present at the proceedings incident to the work of impanneling
the Coroner's jury, etc., but the shock had so overcome him that he seemed
but a listless spectator.

A Dead Veteran.
John CHRASTIL, a veteran of the late war, sixty-five, years of age, died at
his residence, 76 Academy street, on July 12th.  He was formerly a member of
E.A. Kimball Post No. 100 New York city, but lately he had not belonged to

carry out their comrade's wishes.  The casket was draped with the colors
under which he fought, by Mrs. Leonora CONKLIN, a member of Corps No. 62 of
this city.  The funeral occurred at the deceased's home on Thursday
afternoon.  The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. GLENK pastor of the

Shot Him Dead.
Question At To Whether It Was Intentional Or Not.
An Italian Deaf and Dumb Man Arraigned ­ He Can Talk Only With His Fingers.
Guisette PEPINO, an Italian, deaf and dumb, was arraigned before Justice
SMITH in Hunter's Point Police Court this Monday morning on a charge of
killing Francisco BILOMETTO.
One was a junk dealer and the other is a laborer.  Both lived on Ocean
avenue, Ozone Park.
"Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked Justice SMITH of the deaf and dumb man.
The answer was a play of the fingers in deaf and dumb alphabet.
It was evident that PEPINO's mind could not be reached.
"Is there anyone here" asked Justice SMITH, "who talks the deaf and dumb alphabet?"
There was no answer, and the case went over to the 17th, when an interpreter
will be present.
It appears that BILOMETTO was standing against a fence on Ocean avenue,
Ozone Park on Sunday at 7:30 pm, talking to his wife, when he was suddenly
shot in the breast just over the heart, and died almost instantly.
PEPINO, the deaf and dumb man, stood on the opposite side of the way at the
time. No revolver was found on his person when arrested.
Two other persons were on the street at the time, Guiseppe ALMENO and Andrea
FRANZESO. They were in court and Justice SMITH held them in $100 each as witnesses.
One of them stated after court that he could not tell where the shot came
from. 
"Was there any quarrel between PEPINO and BILOMETTO?" was asked.
"No," was the reply.  "They were friends."
"Were the people of the neighborhood in the habit of making fun of the
dummy?"
"No, they were all kind to him."

looked around her husband had disappeared.  The police were notified and at

Inlet, near Barren Island.  Its identity was discovered Monday when a son of
the drowned man went to Canarsie and viewed the body.

ARN
Mrs. Farina ARN was found unconscious in her home at the corner of Fiske
avenue and Calamus road, Newtown, Monday evening.  The ambulance was called
from St. John's Hospital and Dr. HALL responded.  On the way to the hospital
the woman died.  As she had been in good health the day before, her death is
looked upon as strange and an autopsy will, therefore, be held to determine
the cause of death.

FREBIG
Mrs. Augusta FREBIG of 51 Radde street was taken suddenly sick on Monday
night and taken to St. John's Hospital, where she died between 4 and 5
o'clock this Tuesday morning.  The Coroner was notified.

Astoria - Death of Two Men Well Known in the Upper Section 
STEINWAY
The flag on the Steinway Piano Factory is at half mast this week in memory
of the late George A. STEINWAY, who died on the 14th day of September on the
steamer Statendam, en route for Europe.  Advices were received late Tuesday
evening by the young man's relatives.  Mr. STEINWAY was twenty four years of
age, and leaves a wife and three children.  He left New York September 10th
and died four days later at sea.  No intelligence was received as to the
disposition of the body up to Wednesday.  Mr. N. STETSON, said on Wednesday
that young STEINWAY was not interested in the operations of the firm except
that he was a stock holder.  The deceased had a generous income from his
father's estate.

Astoria - TROWBRIDGE
Another death to be noted is that of Robert Blackwell TROWBRIDGE, who
departed this life on Tuesday in Astoria.  The deceased was unmarried and
forty-three years of age at the time of his death.  He had been for some
time a member of the firm of Ward S. Reeves & Co, until failing health
obliged him to give up.  On his mother's side he was descended from the
BLACKWELL family, which owned Blackwell's Island and much of Astoria.  The
funeral was held at St. George's Episcopal Church Thursday afternoon at 4
o'clock, the Rev. Charles W. BELDEN, rector of the church, officiating.
Burial was in the church cemetery.  Mr. TROWBRIDGE is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. TROWBRIDGE; a brother, Frederick C.
TROWBRIDGE, and two sisters, Mrs. H. T. HARRIS and Miss Elsie E. TROWBRIDGE,
all residents of Astoria.

LOUB
Mrs. Annie LOUB of 108 Clay street was found dead from apoplexy on Sunday
morning.  She leaves a husband, John, who is employed by the American
Manufacturing Company, and five children.

AVENIUS
The funeral of the late Henry AVENIUS took place on Tuesday afternoon from
the family residence, 107 Manhattan avenue.  He was fifty-four years of age
at the time of his death and was widely known in German-American circles.

DALE
The funeral of the late Eugene DALE took place on Monday morning form the
family residence, 113 Newell street.  The interment was in Calvary Cemetery.
The deceased was widely known in Greenpoint.  He leaves a wife and four
daughters.

GALLAGHER
William A. GALLAGHER, chief of the Twenty-ninth Battalion, New York Fire
Department, died at 6:30 o'clock, Monday morning, of Bright's disease, at
his residence, 617 Bainbridge street.  He leaves a wife and three children.
At the time of his death, Chief GALLAGHER was in the fiftieth year of his
age.  He has been a member of the Brooklyn Fire Department for seventeen
years, serving first as a private with Engine No. 16, on Scholes street.  He
was afterward transferred to No. 6 Truck, on Greenpoint avenue, and ten
years ago, while a member of No. 18 Engine Company, on Hart street, he was
made a foreman, during the year of the great blizzard.  He served there
until 1892, when he was made District Engineer, having his office on Driggs
avenue and South Third street.  The rank of District Engineer was changed to
Chief of Battalion afterwards.  Four years ago he moved to his late
residence.  His headquarters were changed to the house of Engine Company No.
36, on Hull Street, where he served until the time of his death.
Chief GALLAGHER had been married twice.  He had several children by his
first wife, one of whom, a young woman, is living.  By his second wife, to
whom he was married in 1882, he had two young children.  He had been a
sufferer from kidney disease for a long time, but did not take to his bed
until six weeks ago.  He was a member of Washington Council, Knights of
Columbus, and Ricard Post, G.A.R. as well as several benefit organizations.
He was also a member of the John Ennis Democratic Club and is related to Mr.
ENNIS by marriage, Mr. ENNIS having married his sister.
Chief GALLAGHER's long career in the Fire Department has been of the most
honorable character.  He had never had one charge brought against him, and
he had been the hero of several daring rescues.  He had the good will of all
the men he ever commanded and was looked upon by them more as a counselor
and adviser than superior, Captain MURRAY of Engine No. 35, and Captain
WELDON of Engine No. 33, speak in the most complimentary terms of Chief

in 1850.  He resided at that time in East Haddam, and in 1852 was elected
Judge of the Probate Court.  In 1853 he represented East Haddam in the lower
house of the General Assembly of Connecticut, and in July of that year was
appointed United States District Attorney for the district in Connecticut.
