ACCIDENTS

17 July 1876
Some of the Indian graves on the Shinnecock reservation, Long Island,
supposed to be the oldest there, were opened a few days since.  The
remains of two braves were found, and with them a curious assortment of
articles, some of which were of considerable value.  Among them were
wampum enough to make a string about two feet long, a stone pestle,
glass bottles of peculiar shape, a copper kettle with iron frame and
handle, a gun band, and a small brass box, shaped like a case of an
old-fashioned bull's eye, but larger, containing about twenty Roman
silver coins of comparatively modern date, abut the size of an old
shilling piece, on one or two of which the figures 1670 were
legible---proving, as do the other articles, that the graves are not so
ancient as had been supposed.  The skulls and some bones were found in a
position to show that  the bodies had been buried in a horizontal, not a
sitting posture.  It is doubtful whether further search will be made at
present, as considerable indignation is expressed by many of the
Shinnecock tribe at what they deem a sacreligious invasion of the tombs
of their ancestors.  It is probable that the relics will be placed in
the muesum of the Long Island Historical Society.

19 July 1876

DANGEROUS USE OF FIREARMS
Mrs. Catherine BRADY, while sitting yesterday at the window of her

1 AUGUST 1876
EXCITEMENT ON A FERRY-BOAT
A Drunken Liquor Dealer Indulges in Free Pistol Practice - Justice Elliott 
Suspends Sentence.

Robert MCDERMOTT, a liquor dealer, of No. 444 West Twenty-fifth street, New 
York, visited the Eastern District of this city yesterday afternoon, and, 
after getting drunk, started to return by the Houston Street Ferry.  On 
entering the ladies' cabin he drew his revolver and fired two shots at 
random, quickly clearing the cabin of all occupants, the ladies fleeing and 
shrieking in error.  Roundsman BURFORD, of the Fifth Precinct, was called to 
arrest him, when MCDERMOTT grappled with the officer and threw him, and would 
have probably pounded him severely had not the ferry officers interfered.  
BURFORD finally secured the revolver and by a judicious use of the club 
soothed MCDERMOTT into a comparatively peaceful mood.  When he delivered his 
prisoner at the station-house the revolver, which he had placed in his 
pocket, was found to be a full cock, ready for another shot.  MCDERMOTT was 
before Justice ELLIOTT, this morning, and sentence was suspended.  He 
evidently had friends at Court.  When he goes shooting again, he should call 
on them by all means.

begun to effect them, the Coroner to-day ordered their interment in Potter's 
Field in Flatbush.

who was charged by Detectives RIGGS and PRICE with receiving the proceeds 
of a burglary committed on the 17th instant, at P. MONAHAN's grocery, 
No. 408 DeKalb avenue, it is alleged by three young men named 
CALLOGHAN, McNAMARA, and BOLTON, who are under arrest.  
The property consisted of liquors, cigars, and canned articles, and 
the police say that 725 of the stolen cigars were recovered by them 
from Thomas FINN, of No. 227 Hudson avenue, who asserted that he had 
purchased them from McKEON.  It should be mentioned that Herbert CONBOY, 
recently made Special Officer by the Commissioner for his services in 
working up the murder of Officer SCOTT, rendered valuable assistance 
to the detectives in this case.  It is said that McKEON admits having 
purchased the goods, but was led to believe that the sellers had 
honestly come by them.

The second case involved a small amount, but the principle at stake is the same.

of marriage. The defendent had a home for his wife, but she saw fit to live 
at her father's. 
Counsel for Mrs. SMITH said they should deny much of the 
counsel's statements, but the Court considered that such proceedings, should 
be discouraged, and gave the decision already named. 

Arrested on Suspicion.
Considerable excitement was occasioned in MacDonough Street shortly before 
four o'clock yesterday morning by the arrest of one of two suspicious 
characters who had been observed by Officer GARVEY, of the Ninth Precinct, to 
enter the spacious grounds surrounding the residence if Mr. McMAHON. The 
premises in question immediately adjoin the residence of Mr. SHUTE, in 
Tompkins Avenue, the scene of the frightful affray of a little over a year 
ago, and the mere fact that two nocturnal prowlers had been detected in the 
vicinity was sufficient to give rise to all sorts of rumors in the 
neighborhood. The person arrested gave his name as Rudolph HEER, aged 
seventeen, a German clerk residing at No. 114 Myrtle Avenue, and said that he 
and his companion entered Mr. McMAHON's premises to sleep. Upon seeing the 
officer, however, both the trespassers took to flight, and HEER was less 
nimble of foot than his friend, was arrested.

Two Hearts that Beat as One
Two tramps, Philip and Catherine BARRON, were brought to the Sixth Precinct

years of age, whose parents reside at 14 Conselyea Street. He was throwing 
bricks at the passers-by from the top of a two story building; and when 
Officer TRAVIS attempted to approach, the insane young man rained so many 
missiles at the officer that it was impossible to capture him. Two officers 
from the Fifth Precinct were detailed to dislodge the youth, and as they 
appeared on the roof in the rear, the insane boy jumped from the roof to the

teacher in a New York school. She overworked, and her overtaxed-brain 
succumbing to the terrible strain put upon it, finally became affected. She 
became a religious mono-maniac, and, although gentle and tractable, has 
caused her widowed mother great concern during the past three months. Last 
Friday morning, Miss NOLAN received the milk from the milkman, set it down, 
and left the house without acquainting any one with her intentions. It was 
some time before her absence was discovered, and although search was at once 
made for her, no traces of her whereabouts or wanderings have been gleaned.

An Old Graveyard
To the Editors of the Union:
On the Long Island shore, close to the water's edge, and opposite to 
Steinway's piano factory and Berrian's Island, back of Astoria, is an 
old burying ground of the BERRIAN and REMSON families.

       One of the tombstones reads:
             "In memory of Ieronimus REMSON,
                   who departed this life
             May 6, 1776, aged 56 years, 2 months, 1 day."

There are others, also, of the REMSON family dated 1777 and 1810.
There are also fragments of tombstones of the BERRIAN family, dated 
much earlier, but vandals have left only small pieces. 
On the landing place, on a rock forming part of the old dock, is cut:

                  "P. B.,1745."

The old BERRIAN hemestead, just above, is torn down.
In these centennial days it has occured to me to ask whether any of 
your readers can tell anything regarding these relics; and I have thought 
that the descendents of these two families might like to rescue the 
graves of their ancestors from further desecration.  Centennial

Mrs. Mary VAN LINDEN, a widow, and the mother of three children, 
attempted yesterday morning to put an end to her existence at 
the residence of her parents, No. 103 John street. She first cut

suspending herself by a rope from a door. Before life was extinguished, 
however, she was discovered and cut down by her daughter Augusta. She 
was subsequently removed to the City Hospital in an ambulance. Her 
injuries are not serious, and it is expecred that she will recover.

109 Cumberland St., Brooklyn Sept, 1876
The Ladies Aid Society of this  institution feeling encouraged by the 
generous support given by their friends and the public to their Fair of 
last year, and which they gratefully acknowledge, propose to hold another 
October 31`, and NOvember 1, 2, and 3, at the Assembly Rooms.  
Academy of Music, where they will  have for sale a large and attractive 
collection of useful and ornamental articles.  The object of this fair 
is to aid in sustaining a most worthy and beneficient institution where 
hundreds annually of sick and suffering are skilfully treated, and 
tenderly nursed and cared for, and for the most part, gratuitiously.  
The ladies, therefore, confidently appeal to their friends to assist 
them in making up articles for sale, and by donations of materials or 
goods of any kind, or money, which will be thankfully received and acknowledged, 
and maybe be sent to either of the undersigned, or the Assembly Rooms at 
the time of the Fair.
The hall will be tastefully docoreated, as heretofore, under the direction 
of a competent artist.  Among the attractive features of this Fair will be 
the Floral Temple, an Indian Wigwam, and Silhouette Department also a country 
store, where groceries, teas, dry goods, etc. will be sold at low prices, 
and delivered free of cost.  There will also be an Art Department of many 
choice works, a fancy goods department and large assortment odolls, a 
bric-a-brac table, candles, lemonades, etc.  The Refreshment Department 
will be in charge of an experienced committee of ladies.  A daily paper 
will be published--an excellent advertising medium.
Admission to the Fair twenty-five cents, and no one urged to buy.
During the past year the number of patients had so much increased that 
more room was needed; and an addition had been made to the Hospital Building 
involving a cost of about seven thousand dollars.  This will greatly extend 
our benevolent work, and make it still more important that the Fair should 
prove a financial success.
