DEATH OF WM. W. HURLBUT
Notices have been issued of a special meeting of the Board of Education at
four o’clock tomorrow afternoon, to take appropriate action in regard to the
death of Mr. William W. HURLBUT, one of its old members, who departed this
life at about ten o’clock last night, at his late residence, corner of Sands
and Adams streets. Of all the members of the Board, non had -cured [?] a
greater share of the respect and kindly feeling of his associates than Mr.
HURLBUT, whose sincerity of purposes and sharp, practical common sense were
appreciated even by those who have neither. Mr. HURLBUT was nearly seventy
years of age and though born in New London, Connn., where his father, who
was a sea captain, resided when at home, he had been so long in Brooklyn as
to become fully identified with its interest. He was formerly in business as
a dry goods merchant in New York, his partner being Wm. B. LEONARD, now a
member of the firm of LEONARD, SHELDON & Co., bankers in New York. But Mr.
HURLBUT retired from business in 1862 and in 1864 was appointed a member of
the Board of Education, holding over continuously, so that at the time of
his death he was serving his fifth term. The active duties he was performing
may be conceived from the fact that he was Chairman of the Teachers’
Committee, which place he has held since 1870; Chairman of the Local
Committee of the No. 1, at Concord and Adams streets and the Local Committee
of No. 27, Nelson and Hicks streets; and was also a working member of the
Local Committee of school No. 14, corner of Navy and Concord streets. His
genial courtesy will be missed in the Board. The immediate cause of his
death is said to have been Bright’s disease of the kidneys.

HUSBAND’S CRIME
He Kicks His Wife and Kills Her Offspring - His Arrest
James HAINES, of No. 12 Huntington street, on Saturday night knocked his
wife down and kicked her at the residence of Ellen MARTIN, in Hamilton
avenue, near Columbia street. His wife was in a delicate condition at the
time. This morning she prematurely gave birth to a dead child, the result,
in the opinion of Surgeon OTTERSON, of the violent treatment sustained at
her husband’s hands. The mother was removed to the Long Island College
Hospital, and the brutal husband was arrested by Officer FLOOD, of the
Eleventh Precinct.

A FLOWER GIRL BEHEADED BY A STREET CAR
Startled by an Explosion of Fireworks
Ida W. E. BURRALL, aged nineteen, a deaf mute, met with a horrible and
sudden death last night. She lived at the corner of Malbone street and
Flatbush avenue, with a widowed mother and younger sister, and contributed
to the support of the family by selling flowers. Yesterday, in the pursuit
of her business, she went to the Flatbush terminus of the Nostrand avenue
and Franklin avenue railroads, accompanied by her sister, and all day long
industriously circulated among the passengers, disposing of her fragrant
wares. In the evening fireworks were discharged in the vicinity. All that
Ida was conscious of was a sudden and intense light in close proximity to
her. It terrified her, and leaping backward she struck against Nostrand
avenue car No. 19, as it was in full motion. The driver, Patrick WARD of 39
Fifth street, tried to avert the catastrophe by quickly putting on the
brake, but it was beyond his power to stay the car. There was an awful jolt,
and then a wild inarticulate, agonized scream, then dead silence. Gentle
hands bore the mangled remains to the sidewalk, where in the glare of the
lamps, a sickening sight was beheld. The wheels had crushed across the fair
young neck and literally beheaded the girl, leaving the skull fairly
dangling from the trunk by shreds of flesh and skin. The remains were
carefully taken care of and the Coroner notified. WARD, the driver,
surrendered himself to the police.

A FOUL MURDER
Dastardly Work of a New York Gang
A Brooklyn Man’s Horror of Crossing the East River - What came of Sending a
Rowdy to the State Prison for Ten Years - The Strange Death of John Daly -
What a Watchman Did Not See
A tragedy occurred a short distance from Fulton and Catharine Ferries, at
the New York side of the East River, at an early hour yesterday morning,
which the following facts, gleaned from authentic sources, by a reporter of
this paper, today, clearly indicate was the result of a dastardly attack by
New York ruffians on an inoffensive man on his way to this city. At
daybreak, yesterday morning, Thomas SIGLEY, the watchman of the ship Golden
State, lying at Pier 27, East River, opposite the foot of Dover street,
found the body of a man lying on the deck of the vessel at the extreme end
from South street and on the outer side. The vessel was lying bow inwards
and her stern jutted out in the East River. The position of the body was
such that the man must have fallen from the outside rigging or must have
been thrown over the outer bulwarks. The watchman notified the captain of
the ship, and all hands were completely puzzled to account for the body’s
being found on that part of the deck. The man was lying under the port
bulwarks with his head bent and touching his shoulder, so that it looked as
if his neck had been broken.
The officer of the Fourth New York Police Precinct, who was on that beat in
South street, was sent for and the body was removed to the Oak Street
Stationhouse. Here the body was searched, and $1.60 in money; a revolver; a
card with the printed name of John R. BELL on one side, and John DALY, No.
54 Sands street, Brooklyn, on the other; a letter signed by a Thomas JOHNSON
to Charles W. RUSSEL, of the Goodenough Horseshoeing Company, Thirty-second
street, New York; and a book of the By-laws of Stella Lodge, of the Order of
Odd Fellows, Brooklyn, giving the date of his admission to the Order as June
5, 1877 were found in the pockets. The revolver was a Smith & Wesson nickel
plated six-shooter. The chambers were all empty, and it looked as if it had
recently been discharged, the barrels smelling strongly of powder.
Coroner Henry WOLTMAN, of New York, was notified and he impaneled a jury at
once, and after the testimony of the watchman, the latter was, discharged
from custody and a postmortem examination ordered to determine the cause of
death . . .  Meanwhile, an officer was sent to Brooklyn, and at No. 54 Sands
street it was found that the deceased was a man named John DALY, who boarded
there, and who was employed at the shop of Goodenough Horseshoeing Company
at 63 Henry street , in this city.
The remainder of the story is better told by the friends of the deceased
upon whom a reporter of the Union Argus called today, and their statements
throw considerable light upon the mystery. All those acquainted with him,
and the members of Stella Lodge, believe that he was foully dealt with.
Edward CRONK, the Noble Grand of the Lodge and H. VAN DUSON  (or DUSEN), the
Deputy-grand, were appointed a Committee on Arrangements for the funeral and
they telegraphed to the Morgue this morning that James HARPER, the
undertaker of this city, would call for the body today. They also consulted
with Mr. C. H. SMITH, the gentleman with whose family the deceased boarded,
at 54 Sands street, and he willingly consented to have the funeral take
place from there at half-past two o’clock tomorrow afternoon. . .

A DEAD MAN
Found with Three Bullet Holes in Him
A Farmer’s Startling Discovery - Did the Deceased Commit Suicide? -
Description of the Remains
Henry S. HUWALD, a farmer, while passing through Bushwick avenue early this
morning, saw a man lying at the corner of Hull street. Supposing him to be
sleeping off the effects of a debauch, or, at the worst, suffering from
illness, he stopped his team, alighted from his wagon and approached him. To
his dismay, he discovered blood-stains on the man’s garments, and a nearer
examination revealed a revolver lying on the ground near by.  Realizing that
a dreadful deed had been committed, he hurriedly made his way to the Ninth
Sub-Precinct Station-house, and alarmed the police.
Sergeant in Command DUNNE, taking several officers, at once started for the
locality designated and found the remains as described. The police removed
the body to the station house and there proceeded to give the clothing and
effects of the deceased a thorough overhauling in the hope of obtaining some
clue that would lead to the identification of the body and the clearing up
of the mystery in which the case was shrouded.
THREE BULLET WOUNDS were found, in the head and body, corresponding with
three discharged chambers of the revolver found by the side of the deceased.
The man himself was about thirty years of age, five feet five inches in
height, with dark hair and light moustache. The clothing consisted of a dark
plaid suit, black Derby hat with crape on it, white shirt and undershirt,
drawers, white stockings, and laced shoes. There was a single gold stud in
the shirt bosom. Besides this there were found a box of pistol cartridges, a
pawn ticket for a gold finger ring, issued in the name of SMITH, on July 5,
by GREEN’s pawn office, No. 171 Bowery, New York, and two cuff buttons made
of silver currency, and marked with the monogram 'S'. Around the waist of
the deceased was a truss.
The Coroner being notified, caused the remains to be removed to the Morgue.
From the position in which the body lay when it was found, and the presence
of the pistol, it looks very much as though the case were one of suicide,
especially as none of the effects on the body were disturbed, which would
not have been the case had the deceased met his death at the hands of
robbers. The crape on the hat, the pawn ticket in the pocket, and the
absence of money and two of the shirt studs, would seem to point to self
murder as the result of domestic bereavement or pecuniary embarrassment.
Some argue that many wounds in seemingly vital spots could not have been
self inflicted, but until Dr. SHEPARD has made a post-mortem examination,
this theory can only be classed among conjectures based upon mere assumption.
Detective MURPHY ascertained beyond doubt that the deceased has for some
time been loitering about East New York.

A SUICIDE IDENTIFIED
The man whose body was found in Bushwick avenue on Saturday, with bullet
wounds in the head and chest, was yesterday identified at the Morgue as
Francis STOUDER, a dissipated tailor whose wife and two children reside in
East New York. Three years ago this month his crippled brother committed
suicide because he had been disappointed in love, and the very cuff buttons
found on the body of Francis STOUDER were the ones which his brother wore
when he took his life. The inquest will be held this afternoon by Coroner SIMMS.

DIPHTHERIA
Death of a Promising Physician, Dr. G. P. KISSAM  - Condition of Police
Captain Leich and Family
Dr. George PURDY KISSAM, of No. 181 Schermerhorn street died at a quarter
after nine o’clock, yesterday morning, of diphtheria. It is supposed that he
contracted the disease attending a case in the family in Downing street. The
disease showed itself a week ago yesterday evening, and although the best of
medical attention was bestowed upon the patient the malady ran to a fatal
termination. The physicians in attendance were distant relatives of the sick
man - Police Surgeon Daniel E. KISSAM, Dr. Robert ORNISTON, Jr., and Dr. S.
Fleet SPEIR. Though the patient’s sufferings were intense toward the last,
he yet retained full control of his senses, and after giving his wife some
advice as to the future, calmly bade her adieu and died, confiding to her
care their two little children. When the funeral will take place has not
been decided, as the family are waiting to hear from distant relatives. The
deceased was born at Manhassett, L.I., and was about 30 years of age. He
graduated as Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College, and then obtained his
physician’s diploma after studying in the Medical Department of the
University of the City of New York. He was considered a young man of
promise, and some times temporarily performed the duties of police surgeon
in the absence of Dr. D. E. KISSAM. He attended Rev. TALMAGE’s church and in
social life had many friends. His case closely resembles that of a young Dr.
HUTCHINSON, of Clinton avenue, who died a few months ago.

Captain O.B. LEICH, of the Fourth Precinct, was no better this morning
according to reports received at Headquarters. His wife and some children
are also afflicted with the disease.

10 July 1877
John K. MUNDELL, the well known fish dealer, of No. 36 Myrtle avenue, died
suddenly last evening while standing in front of his residence, No. 41
Myrtle avenue, from heart disease, aged sixty-three. His death, though
sudden, was not altogether unexpected, as he had been ailing for some time
past. The father of the deceased was an Englishman, and settled in Brooklyn
fifty years ago. There were several brothers, all of whom settled in this
city, and became actively engaged in its material affairs. Mr. J. K. MUNDELL
was a house carpenter by trade, and was at one time employed in the Navy
Yard. He subsequently became engaged in the grocery business in the Fifth
Ward, and at another time he was a constable in the Third Ward. At the
organization of the Metropolitan Police in 1851 he was appointed an aid to
Superintendent John S. FOLK, and held the position for one year. During the
time he was on the force he made some very clever arrests. He was a member
of Engine Company, No. 3 [or 8], of the old Fire Department from 1830 till
1851. Twenty-two years ago he went into the fish business on Myrtle avenue,
where he was actively engaged up to the time of his death. He also had a
branch store on Fulton street. In his last venture he was very successful,
and accumulated some property. He was kind to his relatives, and was always
ready to give liberally of his means when necessity required it. At the
Brooklyn Theatre fire, Dec. 5, he occupied an orchestra seat, and was one of
the last persons to leave the place. His testimony before the Coroner’s jury
in regard to that affair was, to some extent, quite amusing. Mr. Charles
MUNDELL, shoe dealer, of No. 298 Fulton street, is a brother of the
deceased, as is also Jeremiah MUNDELL, painter, No. 145 Fulton street,
another brother, Albert is in the stove business on Myrtle avenue. Mr.
MUNDELL leaves a widow and six children. One son and four daughters are married.

12 July 1877
DEATH OF HENRY C. FOSTER, SR.
Henry C. FOSTER, SR., one of the oldest brewers in the city of Brooklyn,
died suddenly yesterday at his residence, No. 64 Hicks street. Mr. FOSTER
was a well-known citizen and established the Star Excelsior Brewery, No. 38
Cranberry street, which he conducted for a number of years. About two years
ago he became embarrassed in business affairs and went into bankruptcy.
Subsequently he became involved in vexatious and expensive litigation in
reference to possession of his brewery. Recently a new vexation presented
itself to him owing to a misalliance his daughter made in marrying a young
man in New York. Mr. FOSTER at one time was a man of considerable means and
enjoyed a good business and social reputation, but owing to adverse
circumstances he became involved in difficulties that no doubt hastened his
demise. He was married twice. He leaves a widow and three children, one of
the latter, an adult son, who succeeds his father in brewing business.
The funeral will take place to-morrow at two P.M., from Mr. FOSTER’s late residence.

DROWNED AT RARITAN BEACH
Said Death of a Son of a Brooklyn Journalist
Mr. Charles H. HANNAM, of No. 623 Herkimer street, one of the Brooklyn’s
most respected journalists, met with a sever affliction yesterday, in the
death by drowning of his son Henry, a bright, spirited boy of twelve years.
The little fellow was an attendant upon the Sunday school of the
Congregational Church of the Mediator, in Rochester avenue, corner of
Herkimer street, and yesterday went on the annual excursion of the school to
Raritan Beach, on the New Jersey shore. Henry went in bathing with a number
of his associates, and it is presumed from the meager reports of the
disaster that have reached this city, ventured beyond his depth and was
drowned before assistance could reach him. The body was not recovered. Mr.

SUSPECTED OF GUNSER MURDER
The arrest of George MICHEL and Jacob EISLE, by Detectives CORR and ZUNDT,
upon suspicion of complicity in the murder of John GUNSER, at East
Williamsburgh, has revived the interest in the tragedy. That one of the
prisoners is in the possession of evidence that will go far toward clearing
up the mystery is considered certain, and the officers have already
succeeded in placing in the hands of District Attorney DOWNING much valuable
information. The prisoners were arraigned before Justice MARSHALL, at
Newtown, on Saturday, and elected to be examined separately. George MICHEL
was placed at the bar, D. L. NORTON appeared for the People, and J.
Frederick HATCH for the prisoner. Three witnesses, August SCHREIN, Mrs.
Sophia DUESTER and Mrs. Mary DIETRICH declared that they had heard MICHEL
threaten to 'fix' GUNSER.
(7 September 1877)
THE GUNSER MURDER
The examination of Jacob EISLE, charged with the murder of Jacob GUNSER, at
East Williamsburgh, was continued before Justice MARSHALL at Newtown
yesterday.  As in the previous investigation, much time was consumed by
counsel for the prisoner objecting to the questions of the District
Attorney, and the manner in which they were asked.  The examination of Mrs.
GUNSER and the testimony of KLINE were very damaging to the defendant.
After the testimony of several other witnesses had been taken the
prosecution rested, with the understanding that the testimony of Dr. STAHL
and Mrs. GEBHARD should be taken by the Justice and read at the next
examination.  An adjournment soon followed till the 18th inst.

{26 July 1877}
A Statement by Michel, the Suspected Accessory-Reports of New & Important Evidence.
       George MICHEL, who was arrested by the police of this city, with Jacob 
EISLER, on suspicion of being an accessory to the murder of John GUNSER, the 
East Williamsburgh saloon-keeper, occupies a cell in the Court House at 
Hunter's Point, awaiting further examination on Monday next.
       MICHEL says he knew nothing of the murder till the following morning 
when he went out to feed his pigs and was told by a neighbor.  He then went 
to GUNSER's and joined the crowd who surrounded the house.  He declares he 
had not been inside GUNSER's house in two years previous.  GUNSER built the 
house which led to a quarrel over financial matters a long time ago.  The 
murdered man's father openly accused Mrs. GUNSER of murdering her husband to 
MICHEL, who repeated the story to the neighbors.  This inflamed Mrs. GUNSER, 
who threatened to sue him for slander, and had him imprisoned.  One one 
occasion, while old Mr. GUNSER and others were in the room where Mrs. GUNSER 
was lying asleep, some one inquired, "Who do you thnk murdered your son?"  
"There lies the murderer," replied the old man, excitedly lifting the bed 
clothes off Mrs. GUNSER, but without disturbing her.
       A more important statement is that some two weeks ago Mrs. GUNSER's 
oldest stepson, August, became excited during a family discussion.  Drawing a 
revolver he fired three shots at his mother (Mrs. GUNSER), declaring that he 
would not live in the same house with a murderess.  He intended killing her 
and then committing suicide.  This statement is current among the residents 
of Middle Village.  MICHEL is confident that Mrs. GUNSER murdered her 
husband, but he does not assign any reason.  He declares that he has plenty 
of friends in East Williamsburgh who will stand by him.  MICHEL is apparently 
in ill health, and is nervous, but gave his statement in a self possessed 
manner.  During the past few days the officers are said to have succeeded in 
obtaining some important evidence  which is for the present withheld from the public.

MISERY AND DEATH.A GERMAN TINSMITH COMMITS SUICIDE.
The Old Story of Dissipation and Domestic Estrangement-The Body Four Days Undiscovered.
       Gotheb HEYDEL, sixty-three years of age, separated about six years ago 
from his wife and eight children on account of his dissipated habits, which 
made it impossible for them longer to live together.  They took up their 
residence at No. 258 Ellery street, while he hired a room in a house at the 
corner of St. Marks and Buffalo avenues, where he has since resided, 
supporting himself by working at tinsmithing.  Once alone he abandoned 
himself to drink, almost every cent that he could make above the price of his 
board and lodgings finding its way into the till of the liquor saloon.  Last 
Sunday        HE DID NOT APPEAR
as usual, and yesterday other residents of the house detected such a foul 
odor emanating from his room that they became convinced that he must be dead, 
and summoned the police of the Twelfth Precinct to make an investigation.  
Roundsman BABCOCK and Detective MAY accordingly burst in the door of the 
room, and found HEYDEL lying dead on the bed, his throat cut from ear to ear. 
Clutched in one hand, was the razor with which he committed the deed,
       CLOTTED WITH BLOOD,
which had spurted in every direction, and dyed the bed-clothes a sickening 
red.  The remains were so much decomposed that it was evident the deed had 
been committed so far back as Sunday.  The supposition is that the deceased 
in a fit of remorse for his wasted opportunities, heightened by grief at 
separation from his family, deliberately committed suicide.  Coroner SIMMS 
ordered the remains properly cared for.

John SCHUAB, soon after discovered him lying almost at the point of death,

RUM AND THE KNIFE-TRAGIC ENDING OF A SATURDAY NIGHT'S CAROUSEL.
A Saloon-keeper Fatally Stabbed in His Own Bar-room, by a Dissipated Youth, 
at Two o'Clock on Sunday Morning -- Arrest of the Assailant, and Ante-mortem 
Statement of the Dying Man.
       A tragic ending of a Saturday night's carousel occurred in Thomas 
DORAN's bar-room, at No. 452 Fulton street, about two o'clock on Sunday 
morning, when Frank McNALLY, a youth of only eighteen years, fatally stabbed 
DORAN, after having abused him and created a disturbance in his saloon, with 
three companions.  It appears that McNALLY entered DORAN's place about 
midnight, with three other young men, named Michael TODD, Patrick McKENNA, 
and John DUFFY.  DORAN's son was in charge of the bar-room, and after McNALLY 
and his companions had been drinking for about two hours, they became 
turbulent and quarrelsome.
       DORAN, who had been asleep upstairs, was awakened by the noise, and he 
descended to the bar room, where McNALLY and his companions had just refused 
to pay for the liquor they had drank.  He remonstrated with them, and one of 
them threw a glass of beer in his face, and the others quickly extinguished 
the gas.  DORAN then seized a club to drive the young men into the street.  
All but McNALLY ran out through the hallway to the street, but the latter 
remained in the hallway, and attempted to disarm DORAN.  
DURING THE STRUGGLE
between DORAN and McNALLY, the former struck McNALLY on the head with the 
club, inflicting two slight scalp wounds.  McNALLY then drew a large sharp 
pointed knife and stabbed DORAN in the left breast immediately over the 
heart, inflicting a wound his recovery from which is regarded as impossible.  
DORAN sank down upon the floor and soon became insensible.  McNALLY fled to 
the street, where he seized an empty lager beer keg which he hurled through 
the window of the saloon, completely demolishing the window.
       Detective CURRAN and Patrolman DUNHAM, who were near by, and whose 
attention was attracted by the noise of the breaking glass, saw and pursued 
McNALLY, who fled as far as Gallatin place, where he was captured.  McNALLY 
was taken to the Washington street police station, where his knife, still 
open, and with the blade still blood stained, was found in his pocket.  He 
resolutely refused to say anything about the tragic occurrence, and he 
declines to make any statement whatever.  He was locked up for the night, as 
were also his companions, who were arrested soon after the stabbing.
THE WOUNDED SALOON KEEPER
who is about forty-five years old, and has a wife and several children, was 
formerly a police officer.  He was taken to the City Hospital, where he now 
lies in a critical condition.

THE GUNSER HOMICIDE.
Examination of the Prisoner George MICHEL -- Witnesses Denounce Each Other -- 
The Testimony Not Important -- Another Adjournment
       The examination of George MICHEL, barber, of East Williamsburgh, 
charged with the murder of John GUNSER, on May 14 ult., was continued before 
Police Justice MARSHALL, in Newtown, L.I., yesterday.  The affair attracted a 
large number of spectators, all evidently anxious to hear anything that will 
tend to clear up the mystery which now surrounds the crime in question.  The 
accused sat quietly surrounded by his family, and beyond a word now and then 
at low breath with his counsel, betrayed no extraordinary interest in the 
proceedings.  His wife, however, broke out in loud denunciations of the 
witnesses against her husband, Mrs. GUNSER, the widow of the murdered man, 
stood up in the back part of the court room, and eagerly watched the 
proceedings.  There was much ill feeling exhibited by the witnesses, and it 
required great determination on the part of the Justice to keep them in order. 
       Fred. SCHRIER, GUNSER's partner in leasing the lot of ground which 
MICHEL had already planted, and which act is given as the cause of the 
murder, gave the history of the lot transaction.  He testified that Mrs. 
GUNSER knew her husband was dead shortly after he was struck.
       August SCHRIER testified that he saw a light in the upper story of 
MICHEL's residence 2 1/2 A.M. on the morning of the murder, and showed it to 
Constable LAUBY.
       John MANNHARDT, of this city, testified that while in GUNSER's 
bar-room on the morning of the murder, Jacob EISLE entered, and after looking 
at the corpse, moved away, saying: "This is a horrible thing."  and then 
wringing his hands and addressing witness, he said:  "I didn't do it, God be 
my witness."  This was before he had been accused, or even suspected of any 
participation in the murder.  Old man GUNSER told witness on June 11 that 
Mrs. GUNSER killed her husband, and witness had shouted it out in the street 
more than once since.  
       John GUNSER, father of the murdered man, testified that he had told 
several persons before he reached the scene of the tragedy that he thought 
his son's wife had commiteed the murder curing (sic) a quarrel, but after 
reaching the house he changed his opinion.
       Alfred A. WIENTGE testified that Adam MARTIN, GUNSER's workman, told 
him that he knew who was the murderer, and that he believed Mrs. GUNSER 
killed her husband.  
       Adam MARTIN was then called, and flatly contradicted WIENTGE's testimony.
       Jacob EISLE, who had been arrested as an accomplice with MICHEL, but 
afterwards discharged, testified that with one exception he had not been in 
GUNSER's house since January 1 last.
       Mrs. Elizabeth KIRCHNER and Mrs. Louisa HELM then testified to ill 
feeling between GUNSER and his wife, and Mrs. Agatha EISLE to the bad 
reputation of Mrs. GUNSER as given by her father-in-law.  The last witness 
also said that Mr. GUNSER had told her over twenty times that she had 
certainly killed his son.  
       The case was then further adjourned till Saturday next.

Result of the Post-mortem Examination -Impanelment of a Coroner's Jury.
A post-mortem examination was made yesterday afternoon, at the City Hospital, 
by Dr. A.W. SHEPARD, as already announced, on the body of Thomas DORAN, 
the saloon keeper, of 452 Fulton street, who ws fatally stabbed in 
his saloon with a knife in the hands of the youth Edward MCNALLY, 
about two o'clock on Sunday moring.  The autopsy revealed an incised 
wound through the cartilege of the fourth rib on the left side , and 
also through the pericardium or sac containing the heart.  Death was 
clearly the result of active inflammation superinduced by the wound.  
After the autopsy the body was removed to the late residence of the 
deceased, where he leaves a wife and a large family of children, and 
whence it will be taken to Calvary Cemetery for interment to-morrow morning.

Coroner SIMMS impaneled a jury as follows this afternoon:  
George H. HUDSON,livery stable keeper, 397 Bridge street; 
H.M. WINTER, millinery, 489 Fulton street; 
Wm. J. HOSFORD, plumber, 145 Lawrence street; 
Frederick FINEN, shoe dealer, 525 Fulton street,; 
M.J. CARNEY, shoe dealer, 47 Prospect place; 
George W. LEWIS, auctioneer, 434 Gold street; 
H.C. MUNDELL, shoe dealer, 315 Fulton street; 
L.F. MEYER, jewelry clerk, 409 Bridge street; 
T.J. FAGAN, shoe dealer, 509 Fulton street; 
William E. MCNULTY, clerk, 203 Livingston street.
The jury viewed the body immediately after the impanelment, and the 
inquest was set down to be held at the Morgue at 10:30 A.M. next 
Monday. Young MCNALLY will meanwhile remain in the Raymond street Jail.  

A Widow's Lonely Death
Mrs. BENTA, a widow, about fifty years old who lived on the top floor 
of the three story and bsaement brick house No. 425 Atlantic avenue, 
between Bond and Nevins streets, retired to her apartments from the 
stoop of the house on the evening of July 24, after having complained 
to her neighbors that she was suffering from cholera morbus.  Nothing 
being seen or heard from her on the succeeding day or two it was surmised 
that she had gone to visit her son, a painter, who was at work at 
Plainfield, N.J., Yesterday, however, a strange odor emanating from 
her rooms so permeated the house that Detective RIGGS and Patrolman DUNHAM, 
of the First Precinct, were called in.  The officers forced open the door 
of the sleeping apartment of Mrs. BANTA and found her dead body in the bed.  
As the deceased weighed about 250 pounds her remains had decomposed rapidly 
and were in an advanced stage of decay when found.  Coroner SIMMS, who was 
notified, took charge of a gold watch, a bank book and other personal 
property of the deceased, and ordered that the body should be delivered 
to her friends.  He thinks death was a result of exhaustion from her illness.

DEATH OF DORAN-Fatal Ending of Young McNALLY's Saturday Night Carousal.  
       Thomas DORAN, the saloon keeper, of No. 452 Fulton street, who was 
stabbed in the left breast just above the heart, with a large pocketknife in 
the hands of the youth, Edward McNALLY, of No. 233 Smith street, about two 
o'clock on Sunday morning, died about 4:30 this morning, in the City 
Hospital, to which he was taken immediately after he was wounded.  Coroner 
SIMMS, who has been informed of the death, has requested Dr. SHEPHARD to 
perform an autopsy on the body, which will probably be done this afternoon, 
and an inquest will then be promptly held.   The particulars of the tragic 
occurrence were fully reported in yesterday's UNION-ARGUS.  The arrest of 
McNALLY was yesterday erroneously attributed to Detective CURRAN.  The arrest 
was made by Special Officer George CURRAN, whose fleetness of foot enabled 
him to outrun other officers and catch the young ruffian. 

SUICIDAL WOMEN.
Self Destruction of a Domestic Servant and Attempted Suicide of an Unhappy Wife.
       Amelia KROOS, aged thirty, employed as a household servant by Charles 
BISCHOFF, grocer, at 676 Hicks streets, committed suicide about five o'clock 
this morning by hanging herself with a piece of a clothes-line from a hook in 
the closet of her bedroom.  Mrs. BISHOP, who thought she was oversleeping, 
went to her room to call her when she discovered the suicide.  The body was 
promptly cut down, but life was already extinct.  The deceased, who was a 
native of Germany, is supposed to have been suffering from temporary 
insanity, caused by grief at her abandonment by a young man who had been in 
the habit of visiting her with supposed matrimonial intentions.  Coroner 
SIMMS will hold an inquest.
[note:  surname of deceased's employer spelled two different ways in article.]

The Death of Wendell Phillips' Sister
Mrs. Sarah H. GRAY, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who died suddenly last week at 
her summer lodgings in Longmeadow, at the age of seventy-eight, was a 
daughter of John PHILLIPS, of Boston, and sister of Wendell PHILLIPS, 
of this city.  She was first married to the Rev. Francis JENCKS of this 
city, who died in New York in 1832.  Several years after his death she 
was married again to Professor Alonzo GRAY, then of Andover, afterward 
founder and President of a ladies seminary in Brooklyn.  Since the death 
of Professor Gray, in 1860, she has contined to reside in that city.  
Mary ELWELL, the eldest daughter, is the wife of the Rev. Dr. R.S. STORRS.  
Alice, the youngest of her children, is the wife of the 
Rev. Dr. Frederick H. COLTON.  Outside of her family circle the unusual 
social accomplishments of Mrs. Gray attracted to her many admiring 
friends.  A slight paralytic stroke in February last had for a time 
fettered and enfeebled her, both in body and mind.  But she had in a 
good degree recovered from this, and was able to come a fortnight since 
to her summer quarters at Longmeadow.  On the morning of the day on 
which she died, Monday July 23, she had walked with her daughter under 
the elms, along the quiet and shaded walks with which she had been 
long familiar; but in the afternoon the summons came, and she sank 
peacefully, without pain, into the last sleep.  The funeral services 
were held at Longmeadow on Wednesday afternoon. -- Boston Advertiser.

GERMAN CREMATION
It appears to be a fact that the German society for the introduction of 
cremation has paid the sum of fifteen thousand marks to the town of Gotha, to 
cover the necessary expenses of erecting a cremation apparatus.  Strict 
regulations have also been published by the police, ordering the examination 
by competent medical officers of all bodies submitted to be burned, so as to 
prevent cremation in all cases where the causes of death have not been 
properly ascertained.  In order to still further guard against abuse, bodies 
sent to Gotha from abroadd are to be subjected to the same, or even more 
stringent rules, before being received for the operation. No corpse is to be 
burned unless the deceased has expressed a wish to that effect and the 
relatives have approved.

Osceola COOPER, the nephew of Osceola, the Seminole chief, was the son of 
John Osceola POWELL, a brother of the chief, his mother being a Spanish lady. 
 His father was adopted by Mr. Solomon COOPER, of New York, and hence the 
change of name.  The death of Mr. Cooper gave Osceola a large fortune.  This 
he wasted very considerably, but there remains about $80,000, chiefly in real 
estate, some of which lies in this city.  His property before his death was 
deeded to Mr. and Mrs. DYER, of Bergen Point, old friends, who had been kind 
to him.  Osceola died suddenly in a lodging-house in Bond street, New York, 
two days ago.

A Fatal Jump

Sudden Death
Charles TRAUB, forty-six years of age, fell dead in front of his place of 
business at No. 113 Bowery, New York, about ten o'clock this morning.  His

A Ghastly Reception
A Woman calls on her Brother and Finds that he has Committed Suicide
Mrs. Ann FLETCHER called yesterday afternoon at No. 458 Carroll street, to 
see her brother John FRENCHARD, a widower, forty-five years of age, who has 
occupied a room on the second floor of the premises for some months past.  
Ascending to his room she knocked on the door and receiving no reply, finally 
turned the knob and entered. On the floor lay the dead body of her brother, 
the face livid from congested blood.  Tightly knotted about his neck was a 
sheet twisted into a rope. Physicians were called and expressed the opinion 
that TRENCHARD had been dead several hours.  Police Captain CAMPBELL, of the 
Tenth Precinct, upon investigation satisfied himself that the unfortunate man 
had supended himself from a hook driven into the door, but that the hook had 
eventually broken.  The body was removed to the Morgue.  No explanation as to 
the motive prompting the rash act is given.

opposite the drug store into which he had been taken when their attention was 
attracted by the crowd which had gathered, and the child, entering the store 
to see what was the matter, was shocked to see her dying father on the floor. 
 Mrs. FENDICK was instantly by his side, but he did not recognize her, dying

BENJAMIN BLOSSOM
Another of Brooklyn's oldest and most respected citizens, Benjamin BLOSSOM, 
passed to his rest on Monday inst., in the eighty-eighth year of his age.  
Deceased was born at Fairhaven, Mass., in 1790 and in 1811 came to New York 
where for upwards of fifty years he held a high position among the merchants 
of that city.  His business was in cotton and naval stores, which he carried 
on very successfully through a long course of years.  In 1861 he retired from 
active business life.  For over forty years he resided in this city and at 
the time of his death was living with his son, Mr. Josiah E. BLOSSOM, of 440 
Henry street.  The resolutions adopted by the naval store trade, following 
the notice of Mr. BLOSSOM's death in another column, show the high estimation 
in which he was held by those who knew him in business.  He was as stated "a 
true type of the Christian merchant and gentleman."  Deceased was a member of 
the First Unitarian Church in this city, formerly Rev. Dr. FARLEY's, and of 
which Rev. Dr. A.P. PUTNAM is now pastor.  In politics Mr. BLOSSOM was a 
strong Henry Clay Whig, but he never aspired to political office, and never 
held one, but he always took a lively interest in everything connected with 
the welfare of the city of Brooklyn.  He often spoke with pride of the growth 
of the city, and his early recollections of the "village" were amusing and 
interesting.  Deceased was a direct descendant of Thomas BLOSSOM, who was the 
first deacon elected by the Pilgrims, at Plymouth Mass, about the year 1637.
The funeral will take place at three o'clock tomrorow afternoon, from 440 
Henry street, and will be attended by a delegation of New York merchants, 
representing the naval store trade, and others.  Rev. Drs. FARLEY and PUTNAM 
will participate in the services.  The remains will be interred in the family 
lot at Greenwood.

DIED OF EXHAUSTION
A Young New Yorker Rescued from the Surf at Rockaway, Expires Three Days 
Afterwards - Something about Ryder, the Expert Swimmer
In the surf in front of Peter MAGERUS' hotel at Rockaway on last Sunday 
afternoon, a bather was noticed, who seemed to be getting exahuasted.  He was 
out in deep water, and after a little splashing was seen to go down all of a 
sudden and rise no more.  So quickly did he disappear that the expert 
swimminer, Mr. Dominick RYDER, whose attention had been called to the man, 
reached the water only to see bubbles on the surface.  Diving after the body 
of the man, he brought it ashore, where it was found the man was unconscious 
and seemingly drowned.  Dr. FREEMAN and another physician, a stranger at the 
beach, after long working managed to revive the man, who proved to be John 
THOMPSON, twenty-three years of age, a sign painter, residing at Cosmopolitan 
Hotel, Catharine street, New York.  The man remained in a very feeble 
condition at Magerus' Hotel until yesterday afternooon, his relatives in New 
York having been notified, but refusing to take him home.  While on his way 
to St. Catharine's Hospital, under the charge of Mr. RYDER yesterday 
afternoon, young THOMPSON died in the Bushwick depot of the Long Island 
Railroad.  Coroner NOLAN at once took charge of the body, impanelled a jury, 
who viewed the body at the Sixth Precinct Station house last night, after 
which the corpse was sent to the Eastern District Morgue.
Mr. RYDER, who rescued THOMPSON, deserves more than a passing notice.  Since 
his employment as swimminer at Magerus' and Wyble's Hotels, he has saved many 
lives. The guests at Rockaway last September presented him with a valuable 
gold medal for his successful efforts during the season and this season he 
has rescued Mr. and Mrs. BRUENING, of Sixth avenue, New York; John FERGUSON, 
of Forty-second street, New York; John THOMPSON, the man who died last night, 
and also recovered the body of the man BRANDISHNER, of 52 Throop avenue, who 
was drowned in front of Kreuscher's Hotel, a few Sundays since.

21 August 1877
Brooklyn Lawyer's Body found in a Kentucky Thicket
The Skull Fractured, but the Pockets not Rifled - A Theory of Suicide 
Entertained by the friends, and One of Murder by the Police - Detectives at 
Work investigating the Tragic Mystery

A tragic mystery was disclosed on Sunday when the body of James H. MACKEY, a 
well known lawyer of this city, was found by W.W. SOUTHGATE, a farmer, lying 
in a dense thicket on his farm, about three miles south of Newport, Ky.  The 
identity of the body was established by papers found with it, showing that 
the deceased was a member of the late law firm, LEWIS & MACKEY of No. 367 
Fulton Street.  In the pockets were also found $155, a railroad ticket 
originally issued from New York to St. Louis, from which had been taken the 
coupons from New York to Cincinnati, another railroad ticket from St. Louis 
to Denver, a number of business letters, cards, and other small articles. The 
body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, and as soon as Farmer 
Southgate informed Coroner Winslow of his horrible discovery , the latter 
took charge of the remains, and had them conveyed to Stahl's livery stable at Newport.
A Post-Mortem examination by Dr. DAVIS, of Newport, revealed a fracture of 
the skull at the base of the brain but on account of the decomposed state of 
the body, it was impossible to determine whether there were any bruises.  
Coroner WINSLOW impaneled a jury and held an inquest, but could obtain no 
satisfactory evidence as to the manner in which the skull had been fractured. 
 The jury after viewing the body and listening t othe testimony of Farmer 
SOUTHGATE and Dr. Davis rendered the following verdict:  "We, the Jury, find 
that the body is that of J.A. MACKEY, of the firm of LEWIS & MACKEY, 
Brooklyn, N.Y.We further find that the deceased came to his death by violence 
but by whom or when we are unable to judge."  Coroner Winslow caused the 
remains to be kept in the livery stable at Newport, which being only a small 
place has no Morgue, and sent information of the tragedy to this city by 
means of a telegraphic despatch, the address for which was taken from a 
business card found among the papers of the deceased, as follows:
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 20 
To MACKEY & Lewis, Attorneys at Law, No. 367 Fulton street
Found the body of J.H. MACKEY, on the hills back of Newport, three miles.  
What disposition shall I make of the body? Answer immediately care Betz's 
Stable, Newport.O.M. WINSLOW, Coroner C. Co.
Mr. LEWIS being out of town, his clerk, who received the despatch, proceeded 
to hunt for the relatives of the deceased.  Inquiry at the boarding house at 
No. 376 where MACKEY, who was a bachelor, had lived for a long time, showed 
that he had an uncle who is a priest in Ogdensburg, a married sister at 
Yonkers, an unmarried sister at the Convent of the Sacred Heart

The Mackey Mystery
Arrangements to Disinter the Dead Lawyer's Body- a Coroner's Extortionate Demands
Miss M. MACKEY, sister of the late James H. MACKEY, of this city, and Mr. 
Charles RAMSEY, an intimate friend of the deceased visited Newport, Kentucky 
yesterday, and arranged to have the body exhumed to-day for a thorough 
medical examination by competent medical men.  On Saturday Miss MACKEY 
visited the spot where the remains were found, accompanied by the detectives 
and others, and also conversed with people who had seen her brother in that 
vicinity on the 3d instant.  She came away convinced that the theory of death 
from natural causes was probably the true one, as is now generally believed 
in Cincinnati and Newport.
There is a general feeling that the actions of the Newport Coroner, and 
others connected with the recovery of the body, have been simply outrageous.  
Of the $155 found on his body, all but $8 have been paid out to the 
undertaker, physician, and Coroner, while the attentions given by these 
persons and services rendered were of the cheapest and most ordinary 
character.  Their conduct is condemned in the strongest terms by the Mayor of 
Newport, and by citizens both of Newport and Cincinnati.  A careful 
examination of the skull of the deceased will be made today, after which the 
remains will be shipped to New York for interment.
The bill of the undertaker alone was $116, which was charged for services and 
material worth less than $50.  There are many who advise legal proceedings 
against the mercenary officials to compel them to restore a part of the 
money, and to punish them for taking it.

was regarded as one of the best in Brooklyn.  The illness which resulted in 
his demise was sudden and unexpected.  On Saturday last he was at his place 
of business as usual.  On Sunday he complained of feeling very unwell, and 
the best medical aid was called in, but proved unavailing.  His death was one 
of peculiar solemnity, and in his last hours he was surrounded by his wife, 
six little children, and friends, to all of whom he bade an affectionate 
farewell. Mr. BRASIER was highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances, 
and his death will be received with profound regret . He was in the

Explosion in New York-One Brooklyn Man Killed and Another Wounded
Yesterday afternoon at 3:30, an explosion occurred in the manufactory of the 
New York Calcium Light Company, at Nos. 414 and 416 Bleecker street, which 
caused the almost instant death of one of the workmen, John BOERMI, aged 
fifty of No. 515 Flashing avenue, this city.  He is the foreman in the shop 
and was finishing the tank which exploded at the time of the accident.  This 
tank was about four feet high, and about one and a half feet in diameter.  It 
was filled with some twenty-five cubic feet of oxygen gas. It was made of the 
best boiler plate-iron, strongly riveted, and had been tested under a 
hydraulic process, and proved capable of sustaining a pressure of 600 pounds 
to the square inch, but none of the tanks are often put under a greater 
pressure than 225 pounds to the square inch. BOERMI was putting a brass 
plate, with the manufacturers' address on it, on the top of the tank and 
attempted to fasten it by soldering.  He used a red hot soldering iron for 
that purpose, and the result was a heating and consequent expansion of the 
contained gas.  The explosion ripped the tank into fragments.  The top was 
torn off, and it was split down the entire side, one full set of rivets was 
ripped out and a piece of one of the sides about a foot in diameter was blown 
out.  BOERMI's last  side was torn wide open, his right arm lacerated and 
fractured, his upper jaw broken to fragments, and the left side of his face 
smashed and his right thigh torn and fractured.  He was taken to New York 
Hospital and lingered there until 4:15, when death put an end his sufferings. 
Wm. G. BANT, of No. 33 Goech [?] street, this city, as assistant workman, was 
also hurt by the explosion, about the hands and feet, but not so seriously as 
to prevent his taking care of himself and going home without any assistance.

Fr. Frederick F. PHILLIPS, of No. 142 Amity street, died on Monday at the age 
of thirty seven years, while he was temporarily sojourning at Catskill, New 
York.  He was one of the oldest members of the New York Maritime Association, 
at a meeting of which his death was solemnly announced yesterday.  He was 
well known among shipping men at this port, having been connected with the 
firm of J.B. Phillips & Co., 56 South street, until about a year ago, when he 
went into the firm of James E. WARD & Co., 113 Wall street.  His death is 
deplored by a large circle of friends.  The funeral will take place from his 
late residence in this city at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Mr. James DYKES, of the building firm of Campbell & Dykes, died on Monday, 
aged forty-four years.  He was a native of Scotland, but had become well

died yesterday from a hemorrhage induced by coughing, was a noted herb doctor 
among his people.  Captain KAISER, of the Twelfth Precinct, today waited on

interview was that Coroner SIMMS ordered Dr. WALKER to make an autopsy at one P.M. today.

yesterday afternoon at this residence, No. 697 Butler street.  Dr. S.G.

the disease to which he evidently succumbed.

Masonic Funerals-Obsequies of Messrs. Brasier and Phillips
By the death of Messrs. Thomas BRAISER and Frederick F. PHILLIPS, of whom 
obituary notices have been already published in this paper, Stella Lodge, No. 
485 F & A.M., was deprived of two esteemed members, and yesterday afternoon, 
by singular coincidence, both of the deceased were buried in Greenwood 
Cemetery with Masonic honors, thus bringing about what may be termed a double 
Masonic funeral, which is of rare occurrence.
The lodge met at its rooms, No. 40 Court street, at 1 P.M., and proceeded 
thence to the late residence of Mr. BRASIER, NO. 201 Ryerson street, where 
funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. ELLINGSGOOD, a member of the 
Masonic fraternity of East New York, who delivered a eulogistic address.  The 
remains were then escorted to Greenwood Cemetery and placed in the receivng 
Tomb with Masonic rites, Daniel J. QUINN officiating as Master, L.C. RISLEY 
as Senior Warden, and B.W. PALMER as Junior Warden, several members of 
Clinton Commandery and Nassau Chapter of which the decased was a member, 
being also present.
The lodge then proceeded from the receiving tomb back to the main entance of 
the cemetery, where the remains of Mr. PHILLIPS were received and escorted to 
a grave, over which Masonic services were also held.  The ceremonies were 
very impressive in both cases.

The Supposed Child Murder Case
Dr. SHEPHARD will make a post-mortem examination this afternoon of the body 
of the child of Kate SANDERS, the servant girl, who, while in the employ of 
Daniel GILLESPIE, of No. 359 Bergen street, is suspected of having dashed out 
the brains of her newly born infant and then attempted to burn the remains to 
conceal the crime.  The prisoner is but twenty-four years of age, and lies at 
St. Peter's Hopistal in custody of an officer.

Long Island-The BRESLAU MURDER
An investigation was to have been held at Riverhead, Long Island, yesterday, 
into the mental condition of Michael GORGEN, charged with murdering his 
little girl at Breslau, Long Island, in June last; but in consequence of the 
debility of the accused it was impossible for the consulting physicians to 
determine whether he is of sound intellect or not. After a short conversation 
between Judge HEDGES, District Attorney WICKHAM, and Mr. H.F. TOBIN, the 
prisoner's counsel, it was deemed best, under the advice of the physicians, 
not to commit the man as a lunatic to any asylum as a long journey would 
probably endanger his life.  The prisoner was accordinlgy taken by the 
Sheriff to the County Hopsital at Yaphank, and entrusted to the care of Mr. 
Thaddeus CORWIN.  As there has been considerable said in regard to District 
Attorney WICKHAM's position in not having the matter investigated before, it 
is stated that the official has no right under the statues to interfere. He 
was present yesterday merely at the invitation of the County Judge.

HIS LAST TRIBUTE TO DEATH
A Young Man Expires While Gazing Upon a Coffin
Very strange facts became public to-day in an inquest held by Coroner SIMMS 
on the body of Charles F. POTTER, aged thirty-two, of NO. 697 Butler street, 
whose sudden death is reported elsewhere.  The child of Mr. John FREEMAN, of 
NO. 635 Butler street, having died, young POTTER busied himself yesterday 
morning culling from his stepmother's garden a quantity of flowers, which he 
proceeded to arrange in the form of a star and basket, as a floral tribute to 
the memory of his dead favorite. About noon he visited the house of mourning, 
and was received by Eliza Jane SMITH, who says that his face had undergone 
such a change within a few days, his skin turning dark, and the outlines of 
his face becoming sharper, that she failed at first to recognize him. He 
extended the flowers without spekaing and then the lady asked who had sent them.  
Stammering "Pot" - he left the word uncompleted, having evidently attempted
to speak his own name.  The lady told him that Mr. FREEMAN would be grateful 
for his kindness, and then asked him if would like to see the remains. He 
made no reply, but by his silence appeared to imply assent, and on the lady 
moving away, followed her to the little coffin. Standing at the foot of the 
coffin an instant, he breathed heavily three times, sank to the ground and 
with a single sigh relapsed into unconsciousness. Everything that kindness of 
heart or medical skill prompted was done for his relief, but to no purpose.  
Death was due to heart disease.

KILLED BY LOCOMOTIVE
An Old Man Struck By a Train on the Manhattan Beach Road
Another accident occurred yesterday afternoon at East New York owing to the 
cross proximity of the parallel tracks of the Canarsie and Manhattan Beach 
Railroad.  Henry MOTT, sixty-six years old, started to walk to his home in 
Canarsie, and had gone some distance when hearing a train behind him, and 
supposing it to be on the Canarsie track, he stepped from the latter upon 
that of the Manhattan, just as a train for Coney Island thundered past. The 
unfortunate man was caught on the locomotive, and hurled to one side with 
terrific violence.  The train was stopped, and an examination made of his 
injuries which were found to comprise a compound fracture of the left leg, 
and a severe wound on the head. He was then taken to the Metropolitan Hotel, 
corner of Fulton and Van Linden streets, where he was attended by Drs. ANDRUS 
and SMITH, and then removed to the City Hospital, where his death shortly 
afterwards occurred.  Not three months ago, by a similar accident on the same 
road, one man lost his life and another was badly injured.

Captain Edward GRAY, who built the first public swimming bath in this city, 
died at his residence, No. 125 Adams street, yesterday.  The deceased, who 
was born in Dumbartonshire Scotland, in the year 1800, was the son of Wm. 
GRAY, a celebrated manufacturer of flint glass.  He came to the United States 
with his father when quite young, and settled in Cambridgeport, Mass., where 
they erected an extensive establishment, but as the necessary ingredients for 
making the glass were more readily obtained in Brooklyn, they moved hither 
and built a factory near the old Jackson Street Ferry.  At the end of ten 
years, finding the business unremunerative, it was abandoned, and Edward GRAY 
then founded the first public bath in this society at the foot of Joralemon 
street, in 1835.  Subsequently the bath was removed to near the Fulton Ferry, 
but it was compelled to leave there some years ago to make room for the 
Bridge tower.  In 1872-73 he had charge of the Mount Prospect Reservoir.  
Since then he has successfully conducted a swimming school at the Battery.  
He leaves a wife and two children.  His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon.

agree, reporting him as being among the killed, wounded and missing, 
respectively.  An inquiry among his friends elicited the fact that no tidings 
as yet had been received from him, but as the majority of the reports agree

An Aged Lady a Victim to Kerosene - The Result of an Accident
Mrs. Francis BADGER, sixty-two years of age, was frightfully burned last
evening by the explosion of a kerosene lamp at her residence, No. 504
Clinton avenue.  The accident occurred about seven o'clock, and the
unfortunate woman was in the act of descending the basement stairs with a
lighted lamp in her hand when she dropped it, and an explosion was the
result.  She screamed for help, and her son-in-law, Captain PEABODY, was in
the house, and responding to her calls put forth courageous efforts to save
her life, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, though his hands and
arms were severely burned. Dr. ARCHER was sent for, and on arriving did all
he could to allay Mrs. BADGER'S dreadful sufferings, but she died at seven
o'clock this morning.

DEATH OF A SISTER OF CHARITY
The death is announced of Sister M. Constantia (Miss HILL), who was born in
Fredrick, Md., in 1811, and at the age of sixteen entered the Convent of the
Sisters of Charity, at Emmetsburg in that State.  In 1846 she came to
Brooklyn to take charge of St. Paul's Orphan Asylum, of which she was made
superioress, and in this field of labor she wrought great and lasting good.
She established an industrial school, in which boys and girls rescued from
the gutter were taught useful occupations and made substantial members of
the community.  She bought ground and built thereon at the corner of Yates
and Willoughby avenues the fine structure known as St. Joseph's Orphan
Asylum, which accommodates between seven and eight hundred children and
twenty-five Sisters.  At St. Paul's Asylum there is about an equal number of
Sisters and children.  To the latter edifice she had several extensions made
and a chapel built and attached.  Sister Constantia was a woman of rare
endowments, of a slight, spare frame, but of tireless energy. Her manner was
extremely simple and unassuming, and all the good work she did was done
without the smallest trace of ostentation.  The leading trait of her
character was an earnest love of the poor and what she did for them she
wanted never to be known.  She had been fifty years a Sister of Charity

more thoroughly devote himself to the healing art.  Deceased leaves a wife

SUDDEN DEATH
Mr. William J. Coffin, of the Home Life Insurance Company, 
Falls Dead at his Post of Duty
Mr. William J. COFFIN, Secretary and Actuary of the Home Life Insurance
Company, of this city, died suddenly of apoplexy on Saturday afternoon at
the branch office of the company, No. 264 Broadway, New York.  Mr. COFFIN
had finished his day's work, and was about to leave the office for Shelter
Island where his family have been spending the summer.  He walked to the
rear part of the room to communicate some message to a son, and on his way
back stepped up to the desk of one of the clerks.  There he paused as if
thinking of something to say or do, and then fell heavily to the floor.  The
officers and employees of the company rushed to his assistance.  He was
raised and placed on a lounge, and as his associates were doing this he
expired.  Mr. COFFIN had complained of feeling unwell several times previous
to his death, and two weeks ago suffered from an attack of vertigo while at
Shelter Island, but aside from these symptoms of indisposition he was looked
upon as an exceptionally healthy man.  He had been connected with the Home
Life Insurance Company since its organization in 1860 - a period of
seventeen years - and was in the fifty-sixth year of his age at the time of
his demise.  Mr. COFFIN was a native of New York, and prior to entering the
insurance business was engaged as a merchant in that city.  For many years
he was a leading member of the Pacific Street Methodist Church of this city,
of which society he was treasurer for a long period.  As a layman identified
with the Methodist denomination, he was, perhaps, better known than any
other layman of that body in this city.  During the Methodist Conference
held in Brooklyn in 187(3?) he kept open house, and his hospitality was
shared by the bishops and many of the most prominent delegates from various
parts of the country.  He was a man of fine mental accomplishments and
genial and pleasing manners.  His son, Corporal Charles A. COFFIN, is a well
known member of Company A, Twenty-third Regiment.  The funeral will take
place to-morrow afternoon at two o'clock, from his late residence, No. 214
Carlton avenue.

UNDER THE WHEELS
A Business Man is Crushed to Death By a Car
Sickening Accident on the Vanderbilt Avenue Line - Was it the Result of
Carelessness? - Arrest the Conductor and Driver
Robert C. YOUNG, aged fifty-eight, of the firm of Young & Greevey, painters,
No. 168 Court street, and a resident of No. 421 Twelfth street, was killed
on Saturday night by being run over by car No. 30, of the Vanderbilt avenue
line, in Ninth avenue, near Macomb.  The circumstances of the accident were
singular.
Thomas SEWARD, driver of the car bound for Greenwood, at about half-past
eleven o'clock Saturday night noticed the deceased lying on the down track
at the point named, and thinking he was probably under the influence,
stopped his car and went to his assistance.  He was surprised, however, to
find the man LYING IN POOL OF BLOOD And evidently dying as he was unconscious 
and breathed with difficulty.
Officers Thomas E. GOULD and Thomas A. COAKLEY, in the employ of the
Prospect Park & Coney Island Railroad Company, were on the car and assisted
the driver to carry the body to the sidewalk, where they remained with it
until President CULVER was communicated with at the railroad office a short
distance beyond, and had notified the Tenth Precinct Police of the accident.
Police Captain CAMPBELL, Roundsman CARNEY and Detective LENEHAN were soon on
the ground, together with an ambulance, but by the time they arrived the man
was dead, and the ambulance was therefore not wanted. Deceased was
well-dressed, had a gold watch and over fifty dollars in money on his
person, together with a number of papers which lead to HIS IMMEDIATE
IDENTIFICATION.
His right leg was found frightfully lacerated and one arm broken, and from
the blood stains on the track it was easy to form the correct theory as to
his death.  With the aid of a wagon furnished by President Culver the
remains were removed to the station house, from whence they were taken, by
direction of the family of deceased, to John H. NEWMAN's undertaking
establishment, in Court street, and hence, after being placed in an ice box,home.

A SHOCKING DEATH
Mr. James H. Mairs of Brooklyn, Instantly Killed on the Hudson River Railroad
A large circle of Brooklyn friends were shocked on receiving the
intelligence to-day of the death of Mr. James H. MAIRS,  a well-known member
of the firm Wm. H. MAIRS & Co. wallpaper manufacturers, 68 Sackett street.
His death was as terrible as it was unexpected.  On Saturday afternoon he
was at the factory paying off employees, and concluded after finishing this
business, to spend his Sunday at Irvington on the Hudson, as had been his
custom during the summer months.  On reaching Irvington he visited the
residences of his brother and his uncle, David DOWS, and left towards
evening for the purpose of returning to the city.  As he was walking on the
railroad track he stepped one side to escape a cattle train, and while doing
this was instantly killed by an express train which was passing on the
opposite track.  Mr. MAIRS was in his fifty-second year, and unmarried.  He
was engaged in business in California and New York for number of years, and
about six years ago came to Brooklyn and joined his father and brother in
the management of the large factory in Sackett street, which bears their name.

OLD GRAVESTONES
In my recent reference to New Haven I had no space for the old cemetery,
which is certainly worthy of attention.  New Haven contains the oldest
gravestone in New England.  It is a rough block of granite on which can be
deciphered "1650."  This stands in the beautiful public square, beneath the
majestic elms, a spot which was the original burying ground.  Three stones
in that vicinity still indicate this use, all others having been removed.
These three are the ones above referred to; also one marked "E. W. 1658,"
and another marked "J D died 1688 in the 82 year of his age."  In those days
there were so few burials that the initials were sufficient to identify the
name.  "J D" stands for John DIXWELL, one of the three regicides who found
shelter in the vicinity of New Haven - the other two being GOFFE and WALLEY.
Some years ago all the old headstones were removed to the general cemetery,
which is a place of rare beauty.  It includes eighteen acres, and  contains
a remarkable number of distinguished names.
I found in this burial ground a very striking array of old headstones, set
closely in a row against the north wall, and covering a range of 500 feet.
They had been removed from the public square and placed here so as to be
seen in a convenient manner.  I found a number of persons studying these
half legible epitaphs and indeed it is a frequent resort.  Among the
inscriptions were the following:  "Joseph Alsop dessaced in ye 42 Yeare of
his Age Janvary ye 12 1691."  "Here lieth the Body of John Rockwell Schooler
of Windser who died Feby ye 3 1725 aged 24 years."  "Here lies enterred ye
Body of David Pierson of Bridgehampton Long island a Student of Yale
Collidge who departed this life in ye 19 Year of his Age."  "Lydia
TROWBRIDGE Deseaced in ye 24 Yeare of her Adg  May ye 6 1690."  "Lievten
John Sackett desceased Nov ye 6 1703."  Another stone is inscribed "E P
1686." There are many more of this rude style of which the above is a
sufficient sample. - Cor. Troy Times

FUNERAL OF ROBERT C. YOUNG
The funeral of Robert C. YOUNG, run over last Saturday night by a Vanderbilt
avenue car, took place yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, from his late
residence, No. 421 Twelfth street.  There was a large attendance of friends,
including the members of Nassau Lodge, No. 531, F. & A. M., a number of whom
acted as pallbearers.  The remains were encased in a rosewood casket, and
there were many tokens of kindly remembrance in the shape of flowers.  Among
the floral tributes was a pillow of white blossoms with the simple word
"father" in colored buds, and a wreath bearing the inscription "My
companion."  Ref. U. D. GULICK conducted the religious services, and after
the remains were taken leave of by those present, the coffin was closed and
removed to Greenwood cemetery for interment.

A VICTIM OF INTEMPERANCE

Thomas F. FIELD, for many years a wholesale crockery merchant of New York,
died at his residence, No. 88 Sixth avenue, this city, last evening, at the
advanced age of eighty-four years.  Mr. FIELD was the oldest member of the
crockery trade in this State, if not in the country, having been connected
with it for nearly seventy years.  He started in business in Utica, and in
1824 made the first direct importation of crockery ever carried over the
Erie Canal.  In politics he was originally a Whig, then an Abolitionist, and
then a Republican.  He never held office,  but in 1844 was the Abolition
candidate for the Mayor of New York.

FUNERAL OF JOHN DELMAR, SR.
The funeral services over the remains of the late John DELMAR, father of
County Clerk DELMAR, were held this morning at St. Mary's Star of the Sea,
R. C. Church, Court street near Luqueer.  The remains of the deceased were
removed from his late residence, No. 131 Ninth street, to the church, where
a solemn requiem mass was celebrated at half-past ten, Rev. Fathers TONER,
DENNISON, and MCGUIRE acting as deacon, sub-deacon and celebrant
respectively officiated.  There was a vast number of politicians and city
officials present.  The remains were inclosed in a handsome casket, which,
at the close of the service, was placed in the hearse and driven to the
Cemetery of the Holy Cross, at Flatbush, followed by an immense line of carriages.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A HATTER
Henry FISHER, forty years of age, who resided at 155 Prospect street, died
suddenly at noon to-day while at work in Turnbull's hat factory, Fulton
street. Deceased was heard to say, "I wish my dinner would come for I feel
faint,"  and as he put down the hat iron with which he was working,
staggered and fell to the floor, dying on the instant.

THE KILLING OF KATE HAYES
Edward NEWMWN, who killed Kate HAYES at 44 Gouverneur street, New York, on
Wednesday night, and attempted also to commit suicide, boarded with the
family of Mr. KENNEDY, who is employed as a driver at DOUGLAS's livery
stables, South Sixth street.  Mrs. KENNEDY and others who know NEWMAN state
that he was always quiet and inoffensive, and seemingly the last man in the
world to do such a deed.  On the evening of the murder NEWMAN went home and
changed his clothing, putting on his best and starting for New York at his
usual time, about seven o'clock.  NEWMAN's locked trunk and his working
clothes, which hung in a closet, are yet in the KENNEDY's possession.  Mr.
PARKS, the foreman of TOOD's Salt Works, where the murdered girl and
would-be suicide worked, as well as all who knew Miss HAYES, say that she
was a modest, good girl, and so far as known never gave NEWMAN any encouragement.

SUICIDE BY PARIS GREEN
Timothy DOUGHERTY, fifty-two years of age, residing with his wife and
children at 232 North Fifth street, took a large dose of Paris Green at five
o'clock yesterday afternoon.  He was attended by Dr. SWEENEY, who

at eleven o'clock last night.  The cause is said to have been depression
caused by being out of work, and drink.

EASTERN DISTRICT
Three Lives Lost On The East River Yesterday
A Pleasure Party in a Small Boat Run Down by a Steamer -
Three Persons Drowned and Two Injured
A Pleasure party consisting of John WELSH and wife and William RADICAN, of
No. 70 Dupont street, and Frank OLWER and his daughter Cloda, of No. 68
Dupont street, yesterday afternoon engaged a row boat at the Tenth Street
Ferry, Greenpoint, for the purpose of making a trip to Ward's Island and
other places in the vicinity.  After a brief stay at the former place, they
proceeded to Hunter's Point, where they remained until a few minutes after
six o'clock, when they turned homeward.  They had not gone far before they
discovered that a steamboat  was coming towards them. Mr. WELSH who had the
oars and had been rowing, turned around, and as the boat did not seem to be
in the  way of the steamer, he rested on his oars and waited for it to pass.
The pilot of the steamer, which was the Sylvan Glen, of the Harlem line,
blew a whistle, but the steamer had by this time got within a short distance
of the rowboat, which fact probably had the effect of frightening WELSH, who
apparently knew not what to do.  Another whistle was blown, but no attempt
was made by the party in the rowboat to get out of the course of the
steamer.  In another second the steamer struck the small  boat and almost
cut it in two, pitching all on board into the water.
The steamer stopped as quickly as possible, but by that time, Mr. OLIVER and
his daughter and Mrs. WELSH had gone down for the last time. Mr. WELSH and
young RADICAN, however , were picked up and transferred to a rowboat and
taken to Greenpoint.  The former received a severe cut on the leg where he
was struck by the paddle wheel of the steamer, and the latter was very
severely injured in the groin, and was very much exhausted when taken on board.
Capt. MAGEE of the Sylvan Glen says that the night was very dark, and he did
not discover the boat until he was within a short distance of it.  He says
he rang the bell to stop the steamer, and then to reverse the engine.  The
distance, however, was too short, and the small boat went foul of the paddle
wheel and was demolished.
[Note: One individual's name is spelled Olwer in paragraph one and Oliver in
paragraph two.]

DROWNED PEOPLE
The crew of the sloop Isaac J. Brauvell yesterday picked up in the Bay and

BLEW HIS BRAINS OUT
ASHOCKING TAGEDY IN SUMTER STREET
A Carriagemaker Takes His own Life - Business Troubles and Mental Depression
the Cause - Details of the Sad Affair
A sickening tragedy was enacted at half-past five o'clock this morning, at
No. 11 Sumter street.  The house in question is the residence of Bernard
MARCUS, aged fifty-six years, who has for a long time been a manufacturer of
carriages, at Nos. 75 and 77 Mott street, New York.  The general stagnation
with which business has for several years past been generally affected has
been especially sever upon the carriage trade, and Mr. MARCUS' interests in
particular, and lately he allowed himself to BROOD OVER HIS FINANCIAL TROUBLES
To such an extent that his mind doubtless became unsettled.  His mental
condition was noticed by his family, but not to an extent to waken in them
serious apprehension, and the blow which fell upon them this morning was
crushing in its effects.
At the hour named, half-past five, the explosion of a pistol attracted
attention to an outhouse on the premises, and on members of the family
hurriedly seeking the cause, a horrible spectacle presented itself.
Stretched upon the floor was the unfortunate man in the last throes of
death.  On one side of his head was a ghastly wound, while the walls of the
narrow building were SPATTERED WITH BRAINS AND BLOOD .
A pistol in the right hand of the dying man proved that the case was one of
suicide.  The weapon was an old-fashioned double barrelled affair, and the
fact that the hammer of the undischarged barrel was at full cock, showed
that the act was the result of premeditation and cool deliberation.
The police were notified, and the Coroner will proceed to investigate the
case at once.

THE LATE W. W. HURLBUT
A memorial service for the late Mr. William W. HURLBUT will be held at 10:30
o'clock t0morrow morning at the Second Presbyterian Church, corner of
Clinton and Fulton streets.  Mr. HURLBUT died some weeks ago, but as the
Second Presbyterian Church, of which he was a faithful member for many
years, was undergoing repairs, the service to his memory was postponed until
the edifice was reopened. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Arthur
CROSBY.  Mr. HURLBUT was a prominent member of the Board of Education, and
without doubt there will be a large attendance at the church.

WHAT CAUSED J. H. SHANNON'S DEATH
A local paper yesterday published a sensational article which was copied
extensively in the morning papers, attributing the death of James Henry
SHANNON, aged twenty-four years, of Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street, to
"the bite of an insect," inflicted at Coney Island.  The certificate of
death filed in the case with the Health Board by Dr. WILLIAMS, the attending
physician assigns "malignant pustule" as the true cause of death.  Malignant
pustule is a blood poison disease of very rare occurrence, and the cause of
it is not well defined, but it has never before been attributed to the bite
of an insect at Coney Island.  It is almost invariably fatal in result.

Hiram CRANSTON, for many years proprietor of the New York Hotel, died
yesterday morning. Mr. Cranston was born September 13, 1815, in
Stephentown, N.Y.  In 1836, he became clerk in the Troy House at Troy.
In 1839 he kept the Pacific Hotel in New York, and a year later he took
charge of the Pavilion Hotel at Rockaway.  In 1846 he managed the Eutaw
Hotel in Baltimore, and while there received a stab from a drunken
cabman, the effects of which clung to him through life.  After managing
the New York Hotel from 1854 to 1867 he retired for ten years to his
farm in Rensselaer County, when having lost nearly all of a large
fortune in speculation, he resumed proprietorship again of the New York
Hotel in July last. 
Mr. CRANSTON was noted for his sympathy with the South during the war
which was the means of securing him an immense southern patronage.  His
assistance to those with whom he fraternized was generous in the
extreme.  His affable manners and genial hospitality won him much favor
and popularity. 
He leaves no family, a second wife now in Europe alone surviving him.
The funeral services will be held at the hotel tomorrow morning, and the
remains will be taken to Greenwood for interment.  Mr. CRANSTON left no
will, but the hotel will probably be carried on by Mr. Henry CRANSTON,
his nephew. 
 
Carlos COBB, a prominent grain merchant of Whitehall street, New York,
died Sunday at Tarrytown at the age of sixty years.  Mr. COBB was born
in Vermont, and after recievinga liberal education, studied law and was

1847 in Buffalo he founded the commission house of Cobb & Co., from
which he retired in 1862 to establish a similar one in New York.  Mr.
COBB was a member opf the Board of Managers of the Produce Exchange
three years.  He was a man of commanding presence, of great integity and
ability, and also of great simplicity.  He first had an attack of
pneumonia, followed by a malarial fever and inflammation of the bowels,
which were the means of causing his death.  The remains will be interred
in Buffalo, where his wife was buried two years ago.  He leaves a family.
  
Stephen BRUSH, who died in New York on Sunday, was born in Humtington,
L. I., in 1816. He was one  of the largest dealers of produce in New
York.  He was identified with the Produce Exchange from the beginning,
and was also one of the founders of the Corn Exchange Bank.  Mr. BRUSH
had been ailing for some time with chronic pneumonia, which ultimately
caused his death.  He leaves a widow and family.

INSTANT DEATH
THE CONSEQUENCES OF RUNNING ACROSS THE TRACK BEFORE AN ENGINE 
The first fatal accident from a rapid transit train on Atlantic Avenue
occurred at 4:37 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Washington avenue
crossing, the victim being Maggie KENNEFF, ten years of age, of No. 52
Underhill avenue, daughter of the keeper of the deer paddock at Prospect
Park.  Judging from the report the accident was due in great to
carelessness on the part of the deceased in crossing the track. 
The train that struck the unfortunate girl was A DOWN TRAIN
drawn by Engine No. 1, the engineer being Charles A. PECK, and the
conductor John ROTHWELL, both residing at the Howard House, East New
York.  The engineer claims that he was at his post, looking out of the
cab window, and failed to see the girl until the train was almost on
her.   He yelled to her and reversed his lever and thought she had
escaped until he felt the sickening jolt that informed him of the
contrary.  The whole train passed over the little creature who was
literally cut in two while her viscera were scattered along the rail for
a distance of nearly a yard.  Just at that instant a rapid transit tram
from the Flatbush avenue depot came up and the passengers were afforded
a spectacle of the most sickening character. 
The remains were gathered up and removed to the residence of the parents
of the deceased. Detective LENEHAN and Officer MCRIE the arrested
THE ENGINEER AND CONDUCTOR
at the depot, and this afternoon Coroner SIMMS fixed the bail at $500 in
each case.  
The inquest will be made in the Coroner's Office at 7:30 o'clock next

viewed the body:

Alexander JEFFREY, Franklin avenue and President street; 
John BARDENHAGEN, 946 Atlantic avenue; 
Henry HOLTHAN, 948 Atlantic avenue; 
Richard B. STODDARD, 952 Atlantic avenue. 
When the accident occurred the engineer was in the act of stopping the
train, Washington avenue being a regular stopping place.  The prisoners
gave bail at 1 P. M.

THE DROWNING CASUALTY OFF HUNTER'S POINT 
The funeral of Mr. Frank OLIVER and his daughter Cloda took place
yesterday afternoon.  Coroner NOLAN, who had been notified of the
receival of the bodies at Greenpoint, was present with a jury to view
the remains and grant a burial permit, but Coroner DAVREN, of Hunter's
Point, who was also present, informed him that the bodied had been found
in Queens County, and were taken to Greenpoint through courtesy, for the
purpose of burial; therefore the case was outside the jurisdiction of
any Kings County Coroner.  Coroner NOLAN thereupon withdrew.  A very
large number of persons attended the funeral which took place from the
residence of the deceased, 68 Dupont street.  After the services were
concluded the remains were taken to the Cemetery of the Holy Cross for
interment.  George MAGEE, the pilot of the steamer Sylvan Glen, which
caused the accident, was yesterday morning arrested on a warrant issued
by Coroner DAVREN, and was subsequently released on $5,000 bail, to
await the action of the Coroner's Jury, which meets at the Civil
Justice's Court Room, Hunter's Point, on Monday evening next.  The
inquest over the body of Mrs. WELSH, which was recovered yesterday, will
probably be held at the same time.

LONG WATCH ENDED--Thomas CONNORS.
Death of the Twelve o'Clock Man - A History of His Curious Hallucination 
The poor, demented Twelve o'Clock Man who for so many years haunted City
Hall died yesterday in the home of his sister in Warren street, near
Washington avenue.  His name was Thomas CONNORS.  He was born in
Westmeath County, Ireland, about fifty years ago, and came to this
country in his early boyhood.  About ten years ago he was first noticed
clinging to the iron railing in front of City Hall at noon, intently
watching the face of the great clock in the tower.  He was dressed very
shabbily, and a black, stubby beard covered his face.  He spoke to no
one, and refused always to answer any person who spoke to him.  As soon
as the bell began to strike twelve, he habitually drew himself up to his
full height, standing on the stone base of the iron fence, clinging to
the rail and throwing his body back as far as his arms would permit, he
would remain motionless until the last stroke of the bell ceased to
echo, and then stepping down he would shamble off with a sad expression
of face, as though disappointed at not meeting some one he had expected
to come.  He repeated this day after day, in all kinds of weather and
soon earned the title of the "Twelve o'Clock Man."  He was one of the
curiosities of Brooklyn in the first years that he began to visit the
hall, but as time passed he received just no more than a sympathetic
glance from those who passed him.  The small boys who at first annoyed
him ceased their jibes on finding that he did not grow angry or in any
way show resentment.  He went to his post daily, walking with his head
down, his body bent forward, his hands thrust into his pantaloon
pockets, and his feet dragging heavily along.  The expression of sad
anxiety onhis face was one rarely seen outside the walls of an asylum
for the insane.  The lines of his face indicated acute mental suffering,
and his manner was that of a man crushed by the weight of sorrow. 
CONCERNING HIS HISTORY
nothing could be learned from CONNORS himself, but a story gained
credence that he had been induced to loan $4,000 to a lawyer, who
promised to meet him the next day at City Hall at noon, and pay him back
his money.  CONNORS, it was said, was then sane, but the disappointment
turned his brain, and he came each day vainly expecting to meet his
debtor and receive his money.  Investigation showed that he was never
the owner of so large a sum as $4,000, and that he had been a
weak-minded Irish boy, whose brain was turned when he reached manhood
with the hallucination that a man was to meet him at twelve o'clock at
City Hall and pay him money.  He was followed one day and traced to a
small house in a sparsely settled part of the city, known as Darby's
Paten, where he lived with his sister who raised pigs, geese and goats
for a living. 
COONORS earned a little money now and then by sawing wood, putting in
coal and doing light chores, but he could never be induced to do any
work until after he had been to the Hall and heard the clock strike
twelve.  He was as uncommunicative to his sister about his troubles as
to every one else, and when she tried to talk him out of his apparent
belief, he always answered: "He told me to come at twelve o'clock and he
said he'd be there." After some time he changed his position going
nearer to the City Hall, and at length he was to be found every day
leaning against one of the great marble pillars in the portico.  He was
known to all the officials of the city for the last ten years.
Frequently the politicians offered him money, but he uniformly declined
to accept charity.  He was never known to take alms from anyone.  Keeper
Patrick TORMEY was more familiar with him than any one else around the
City Hall. One Sunday when COONORS came to the Hall Mr. TORMEY told him
that no one would be there that day, and CONNORS said: "Yes, but he told
me to come at twelve o'clock."  Again, when TORMEY passed one chilly
morning he said: "Tom, it's cold."  "Yes," said CONNORS, "it's cold,"
drawing his shoulders up and pulling a threadbare coat closer to him.
He seemed uneasy when spoken to, but as he never caused any disturbance
he was permitted for ten years to follow out his hallucination.
CONNORS WAS MISSED 
from his accustomed haunt about three years ago, and his obituary was
published at length in the newspapers, but a few days afterward he
turned up again to hear the bell strike twelve.  He had been ill, and he
hurried back to his post so soon that he had a relapse and missed many
more days of watching.  From that time his health steadily declined.  He
grew rapidly feebler and more emaciated during the past years.  Constant
exposure gave him rheumatic pains and he climbed the steps of the Hall
with difficulty.  He face bore a sadder expression in the last days when
he was seen about the Hall, and he seemed as he went away about to burst
into tears.  Five weeks ago he was missed again from his accustomed
place, and he lay sick in his sister's home until he died yesterday
morning, at 7 o'clock, without the attendance of a physician.  The
Coroner was summoned to hold an inquest, and last night a wake was held
over the remains.  A picture of the Twelve o'Clock Man swinging back
from the iron fence, listening to the sound of the noonday clock, was
painted in oil by Prof. Ferd. T. BOYLE, as was a companion picture of
him grasping the iron pickets and peering through the fence.  The
pictures hung for several years on the parlor walls of the Faust Club.
Two years ago, J. J. MCCLOSKEY, the actor, wrote a play entitled, "The
Twelve o'Clock Man, "representing the odd life of CONNORS.  It played
for a short time in the Park Theatre.

WILFUL MURDER--THE TERRIBLE END OF A DRUNKEN SPREE
A Shocking Tragedy in "Dutchtown" - Two Young Men Quarrel About a Woman,
and One Stabs the Other to the Heart - Escape of the Murderer 
A shocking tragedy, resembling in most features that of the HERTFELDER
murder which shocked the community last spring, occurred last evening in
the same portion of the city, the streets of the Sixteenth Ward,
commonly known as Dutchtown. 
The circumstances of yesterday's tragedy are as follows: 
	John BETZ, twenty-two years of age, a car driver by occupation, formerly
employed on the Bushwick Avenue Railroad, and more recently at work on
the North Second Street Line, resided with his mother at No. 69 Morrell
street.  On Saturday last he married a young woman, "Miss" Maggie
HEMANN, who has two children.  On Wednesday last, his new-made wife left
him, and is now residing with her sister on Humboldt street.  It is said
that Mrs. BETZ told her husband when she left that she liked  someone
else better.  This was THE CAUSE OF THE SPREE 
which ended so disastrously for BETZ. 
	James DEVLIN, seventeen years of age, is the son of the well-known
politician Felix DEVLIN, who keeps a saloon on the corner of Debevoise
and Morrell streets where his sons boarded with him.  James DEVLIN has
always been a source of trouble and anxiety to his father, who, since
the death of his wife, has been unable to restrain him.  Within the past
year James has been before Justice GUCK charged with offenses against
the law, the last time on a charge of burglary, which was withdrawn and
DEVLIN was fined $15 for being disorderly.  James DEVLIN was known about
the neighborhood as a vicious young man, recently having attempted to
kill Mr. James BOWERS, foreman of Wall's rope-walk, by drawing a knife
and cutting him.  Fortunately nothing but the clothing of Mr. BOWERS was
injured, the knife but scratching the skin.  DEVLIN was hustled out of
the yard by a Mr. CRAFT and no charge was made against him for the
attempted stabbing. 
	Yesterday, during the afternoon, John BETZ, who had been ON A SPREE 
From Wednesday last, the day his wife left him, was drinking with a
number of boon companions in the rear hallway of his mother's residence,
69 Morrell street.  Of the party, some of whom were in and out only,
while others were constant in their attentions to the beer-pail, which
was constantly replenished, were Xavier CONRAD, Charles MCAVOY, John
EICHLER, alias BOLIVAR, Tom HARDMAN and others.  At six o'clock, a
quarrel arose between BETZ and DEVLIN, which began in the back yard and
continued in the hallway.  It consisted of bandying hard words and name
only, until BETZ sat down on the back step and commenced playing with
the little child of a neighbor.  DEVLIN stood by the stair balustrade in
the middle of the hall, and when Mrs. Sarah A. BODEN, an upstairs
tenant, ordered him to stop his swearing and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE 
he abused her roundly and she retired to her rooms.  At this time the
only other persons present in the hall were DEVLIN, BETZ, Charles MCAVOY
and a little boy named George GIBSON.  DEVLIN said something to BETZ
reflecting on his wife.  BETZ said, "I'll lick you for that, you   -----
----   ----   ---," and went towards DEVLIN cuffing him to the front
door, which was open.  DEVLIN was heard to say, "You cannot make me take
water," and the squabble seemed to be subsiding.  DEVLIN suddenly sprang
at BETZ and plunged a knife blade deep into his heart.  The murderer
then ran rapidly through Morrell street to the saloon of his father,
where his brother Peter was attending bar.  James DEVLIN cleaned the
money drawer out, and was away in less than a minute after he entered
the saloon door, having hastily explained to his brother the cause of
his haste.  BETZ, after being stabbed, staggered out of the hallway on
to the sidewalk, exclaiming, "I AM CUT," and fell.  He then got up, 
seemingly without difficulty and ran towards Moore street.  
Supposing that DEVLIN had gone to the corner saloon kept
by Pat DUGAN, he staggered to the doorway of the saloon exclaiming,
"Where is he?  I can lick him." And fell dead on the threshold.  DUGAN
thinking that BETZ was drunk, asked "Bolivar" and another man to pick
him up, which the men did only to discover that a torrent of blood was
pouring from a wound just above the heart,  BETZ was conveyed to the
drug store corner of Sigel and Morrell streets, but life was extinct. 
	Meantime the policemen were being relieved and Captain WORTH was walking
away up Bushwick avenue following the relief.  He was stopped at
Meserole street by Officer LANGRISHE at fifteen minutes past six
o'clock, exactly five minutes after the murder was committed and the
Captain and all the police within call went rapidly to the scene of the
murder, the Captain and two of the officers proceeding to Devlin's
saloon, where Peter DEVLIN was arrested, but at that time refused to say
anything as to his brother's whereabouts.  He was taken to the Sixth
Precinct Station and locked up.  The SEARCH FOR THE MURDERER 
continued.  The entire force of the Sixth Precinct were ordered out in
citizen's clothes, and also policemen from the Thirteenth Precinct and
the detectives of the entire city.  At about nine o'clock, Peter DEVLIN
admitted that his brother had come home, and left only a minute before
the police arrived; that he did not change his clothes, had no blood
upon him, and had told that he had "had a bad muss" with some one and
wanted money enough to get to New York, and that he, Peter, had given
him twenty five cents.  Crowds lingered about the scene of the tragedy
all night, discussing its circumstances, and the wails of the bereaved
mother were heard the live long night piercing the air.  The father of
the murderer was in convulsions during the night, and it is feared the
shock may prove fatal to him.

Murderous Charges-BLOODSHED AND DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
A Husband's Determined Efforts to Slay his Wife - He Shoots Her 
Was John HANDLEY Killed by a Blow with an Oar?
A Woman's Sanguinary Deed
Henry CLINTON, of No. 484 Baltic Street, attempted yesterday afternoon to 
murder his wife, Eliza, thirty-five years of age, by shooting her with a navy 
revolver.  According to the statements of the injured woman and neighbors the 
couple have been estranged and living separately since last July, when for 
some reason unknown, CLINTON drove his wife from the house and forbade her to 
return.  She obtained service as domestic, but lately became involved in some 
difficulty about a door, and appearing yesterday in Justice FERRY'S Court, 
found her husband arraigned against her as a witness. The case was, however, 
amicably adjusted, and in the afternoon Mrs. CLINTON ventured to apply at her 
husband's house for some clothes.  Her approach was discovered by her 
husband, who, seizing a large navy revolver, anticipated her entrance by 
meeting her on the stoop.  At the sight of the weapon the woman turned to 
flee, but before she could make her escape became a target for three shots 
fired at her by the infuriated man.  Fortunately but one shot stuck her, and 
that failed to do her very serious injury as it made little more than a 
superficial wound in the back and lodged in the left shoulder, from which it 
was subsequently extracted by Ambulance Surgeon MORDOUGH in the drug store, 
corner of Wyckoff and Nevins Streets.  The would-be murderer escaped.  Mrs. 
CLINTON was take to St. Peter's Hospital.

The Second Precinct Case
Captain CRAFTS, of the Second Precinct, assisted by Detective CAMPBELL, has 
carefully investigated the circumstance of the death from supposed violence 
of John HANDLEY, aged nineteen, of No. 350 Water Street, references to which 
was made in last night's Union Argus.  The Captain states that a brother of 
the deceased informs him that two weeks ago last Friday deceased was reported 
to have been struck with an oar by a notorious character, known as "Butcher" 
KELLY.  KELLEY'S grievance being according to one story, the rifling of his 
pantaloon's pockets by HANDLEY which he (KELLY) was in bathing; and according 
to another story, the obtaining of beer in his name by deceased at 
Fitzgerald's Liquor store in John Street.  The deceased, according to the 
brother's declarations, had, however, no marks of violence on his person, and 
did not mention feeling any unpleasant results until last Sunday, when he 
complained of pain in his head.  About 3:45 o'clock he started to go out for 
a walk, but had scarcely risen from his chair when he FELL BACK A CORPSE
Dr. BARRY, who was prescribed for him, was of course unable to give a 
certificate in the case, and the coroner was notified of the case yesterday 
morning.  Dr. SHAW, made a post mortem examination by direction of Coroner 
SIMMS, and found a quantity of extravasated blood on the brain on the left 
side of the head, but no fracture of the skull or external signs of violence. 
 It was not until the post-mortem examination was in progress that the police 
heard of the case, and the result is that they have been unable to apprehend 
KELLY.  He has been traced to Marshall Street, where he was seen yesterday 
morning, apparently going to the ferry, but his subsequent movements are not 
known.  As HANDLEY was in the habit of drinking, his injuries may have been 
due to a fall, at least the doctors think so.

Teresa TIETJENS
The death of Mlle. Teresa TIETJENS is announced by telegraph in another 
column. Mlle. TIETJENS was born in Hamburg in June 1834.  Like most lyric 
artists, she early displayed a taste for music, and when twelve years old was 
placed under the care of an eminent professor.  When only fourteen she 
possessed a voice of remarkable power and marvelous sweetness.  She was sent 
to Vienna to study under the best masters in Germany.  On her return to 
Hamburg she readily obtained an engagement at the principal theatre, and made 
her debut when a little more than fifteen years of age, in April, 1849, in 
the role of Lucrezia Bergin, in which she won much applause.  Her second 
engagement was at the Royal Opera House, Frankfort-on the-Man, where she 
remained for the season of 1850.  From there she went to the Imperial Theatre 
at Vienna, where she remained for three consecutive seasons.  Her first 
appearance in England was at Her Majesty's Theatre on the 15th of April, 
1858, where she assumed the character of Valentine in "les Huguenots".  Mlle. 
TIETJENS did not understand Italian, but she learned her part by note, and 
nobody would have suspected that she was not perfectly conversant with the 
meaning of every sylable she uttered.  As an actress, her tall, stately, 
elegant figure was admirably calculated to personate the tragic heroines of 
opera.  Her face was beautiful, her large eyes flashed with intellect, and 
her classical features were radiant with expression; her grandeur of 
conception, her tragic dignity and her glowing warmth rendered her worthy of 
the finest days of lyric tragedy.  Mdlle. TIETJENS, after leaving London, 
returned to Vienna.  From thence she went to Italy to acquire facility in the 
Italian language.  From there she went to London and made her second 
appearance in England at the Drury Lane Theatre.  On the termination of the 
season there she was visited all the principal cities in the British Isles, 
appearing everywhere with the same marked success.  She sang in Brooklyn two 
years ago in Norma.  She was recently married to Mr. MAPLESON, the Manager of 
the Covent Garden Theatre, but prior to that time her life was dutifully 
devoted to supporting her mother.

Suicide in Cemetery
August DUNNER, fifty years of age, of 242 Bloomfield Street, Hoboken, shot

brought to Brooklyn by coroner John CARROLL, of Queens County and died last 
night in the E.D. Hospital.

A Woman Found With Her Neck Broken In A Yard At Dawn This Morning - 
Conflicting Theories as to the Cause of Her Death
Mrs. Margaret McCARROLL, forty years of age, was found at 6:30 o'clock this 
morning in the yard of her residence, 140 Richardson Street, E.D., with her 
neck broken, having been dead some time.  Captain WORTH, on hearing of the 
affair telegraphed to all the stations to look out for her husband, Hugh 
McCARROLL, a fish peddler, who was arrested at seven o'clock by Officer 
TERRENCE, of the Greenpoint police.
The first injuries led Captain WORTH to believe that the death of the woman 
was the result of her accidentally falling out of the window of her 
apartments on the third story, although certain developments, have been made 
which showed the wisdom of the arrest of the husband, his companion Martin 
WRIGHT, and the deceased woman's brother; who were  ALL LOCKED UP in the 
Sixth Precinct Station house within an hour of the discovery of the body.
  Hugh McCARROLL, the husband of the deceased, says that he left home with 
WRIGHT at one o'clock this morning to go to market; that he had no quarrel 
with his wife, who was intoxicated, and supposes fell out of the window while 
watching him harness his horse at the stable, which is 100 yards away from 
their residence.
     Martin WRIGHT says he was at McCARROLLS residence from eight o'clock 
last evening until one o'clock this morning, at which time he left McCARROLL 
to get a measure from Mrs. McCARROLL and follow him to the stable; that they 
had all been drinking, and there was no quarreling, which he knows, because, 
although he led down with McCARROLL on the bed about ten o'clock he could not 
sleep, the place being strange to him.
     Mrs. FRY, a tenant of the same floor of the double tenement house, says 
that about one o'clock this morning she saw McCARROLL come in the hallway, 
where his wife was sitting on the stairs, and order her in the room, and that 
afterwards she hard loud talking.
     John GOLDEN, a painter, of 169 Bayard Street, says that Mr. and Mrs. 
McCARROLL had been married about 4 months, and constantly  DRANK AND QUARRELLED;
that McCARROLL was in the habit of beating his wife and abusing her; that he 
drives a wagon that has no license, and he believes his sister was thrown out 
of the window.
     Some of the neighbors say that McCARROLL often beat his wife, while 
others say that she used to beat her husband.
     Police-Surgeon MURPHY, who examined the body at nine o'clock, found it 
rigid and thought the woman had been dead about eight hours.  There was a 
black and blue mark all around the neck, which might be caused by the woman's 
neck being broken.  There was also a severe contusion on the woman's right breast. 
     A theory has been advanced that the woman in her wretchedness flung 
herself out of the window.
     Coroner NOLAN impanelled a jury this afternoon, and the inquest was adjourned.

A Ferry Employee Drowned
Sad Death of Watson C. SMITH - His Body Found at Empire Stores
Watson C. SMITH, an employee of the Union Ferry Company, and brother of 
Captain Joel SMITH, of the First Precinct, was found drowned yesterday off 
the Empire Stores.  Deceased had been missing from Friday night, and as he 
was known to have been in the neighborhood of Catherine Ferry on that date, 
it was feared by his family that he had fallen into the river, and efforts 
were made on Saturday to find the body by grappling.  The work was continued 
yesterday, when the men succeeded in finding the body by the side of the 
middle pier off the Empire Stores, between Dock and Main Streets.  It seems 
that somewhere about midnight, Friday, deceased entered the gate to the 
stores on Main Street, where he had a talk with the watchman, and complained 
of feeling sick.  He walked up the wharf, and is supposed that he was leaning 
over the pier and overbalanced himself, as his head was (very hard to read or 
understand the following) last in the ??nd when found, and it took 
considerable strength to pull him out.  The water was not so deep at the 
point deceased fell in as to drown him if he had not fallen in the way he 
did, and besides he was an expert in the water.  Deceased is spoken of by the 
ferry people as a first class man and a real clever fellow when at work.  He 
was employed at the ferry company's yard adjoining Atlantic Ferry.  Deceased 
resided at 242 Pearl Street and was aged forty-six.
     Coroner SIMMS held the inquest this morning.  It was shown that deceased 
had been drinking on the evening of his disappearance.  The jury rendered a 
verdict of accidental death by drowning.

Death of an Old Post Office Clerk
Abraham SALTERS, an old and valued clerk in the New York Post Office died at 
his house in the city last evening.  Several months ago, Mr. SALTERS, while 
adjusting a mailbag, received a painful wound from an iron hook, which 
penetrated his hind and gave his nervous system a severe shock, which was the 
cause of his death.  Mr. SALTERS, at the time of his death was sixty-five 
years of age. 

A Family Tragedy
ANOTHER DEED OF BLOOD IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT
John Jackson MOONEY asks Permission to Carry a Revolver - Lies in Wait and 
Shoots his Wife's Brother- The Injured Man Dying - Graphic Story of the Array 
told by a Sister of the Victim
     John Jackson MOONEY, twenty-seven years of age, of 151 North Eighth 
Street, a machinist employed at James BOGARDUS'S Eccentric Mills, Elm and 
White Streets, New York, came excitedly into the Fifth Precinct Station-house 
on Saturday evening, with a hatchet in his hand, and told Sergeant BRENNAN 
that he had been followed by his brother-in-law John MOONEY of 74 1/2 North 
Fifth Street, from New York across the Grand Street Ferry; that his pursuer 
had a knife, which he had seen, and that he had only escaped him by 
threatening to use the hatchet, which he was carrying home from the shop, 
where he had sharpened it.  He asked to be ALLOWED TO CARRY A REVOLVER
to protect himself, and was told by the Sergeant to get a warrant.  The same 
man also saw Captain WOGLOM and repeated his story to him.  The Captain took 
him to task for thinking of using a revolver, and the man went away promising 
to take the advice given and procure a warrant for the arrest of his 
brother-in-law.
     Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, a shot was heard on the corner of 
North Fifth and Third Streets, a woman's   CRY OF "MURDER,"
a man was seen lying in a gutter weltering in his blood, another man was seen 
to throw something into a new building on the corner and run rapidly through 
Third toward Grand Street.  A crown quickly formed, and chased the runaway, 
who was stopped by Officer SINNOTT, and proved to be John Jackson MOONEY, who 
had shot his brother-in-law John MOONEY, in the temple, a portion of the ball 
having imbedded itself in the brain and a portion passed out of the back of 
the scalp.  The pistol with which the deed was committed is a medium-sized Colt's.
     Immediately after the shooting the prisoner was locked up in one of the 
Fifth Precinct Station-house cells, and professed sorrow that he had not 
taken the advice given, instead of trying himself to redress his wrongs.  The 
wounded man    WALKED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY
to the Eastern District Hospital, and was quite inclined to be "huffy" when 
told by Dr. S. J. BRADY to remain in the hospital and keep quiet for a few 
hours.  A close examination showed that the skill is fractured and from the 
time the man came in the hospital the surgeons pronounced in their opinions 
of a fatal termination to the injuries.
     The prisoner in defense of the shooting states that for seven years 
since his marriage he has been      TROUBLED BY HIS WIFE'S FAMILY.
who have lived on him; that he moved from New York in order to get rid of 
them; they moved after him; he turned them out six weeks ago, since which 
time he has been in constant dread of the man he shot yesterday, and also 
another brother-in-law who has been recently discharged from the New York 
police.  He claims that the man he shot yesterday sometime ago shot a man in 
New York, and that he could no longer liver under such duress.
     Miss Kate MOONEY, a beautiful young woman who resides with her injured 
brother and mother at 74 1/2 North Fifth Street, was seen last night by a 
reporter of the Union Argus to whom she and her mother both said that the 
story told by the probable murderer was  FALSE IN ALL PARTICULARS
     Miss Kate said that her brother, who was shot was a steady, fine young 
man, who worked as a machinist at John H. DARLINGTON'S, in Franklin, near 
Centre Street, New York; that on several occasion, because her brother had 
interfered when John Jackson MOONEY was abusing his wife and two little 
children, John Jackson had assaulted him feloniously. "Why," said she, "it is 
only five weeks ago that he took up a fork and plunged it into Johnnie's arm, 
besides sticking it in my face!"  She says the prisoner drinks hard, and that 
is the trouble.  Her story of the shooting yesterday is most graphic.  "John, 
who was shot, went out to get shaved," said she, "and my mother, who sits 
there beside the stove, says to him, Johnnie, don't  FORGET TO BLESS YOURSELF,
and he laughed and went out.  I chiding him for being so dilatory, and making 
him promise that he'd be back soon.  While I was washing my dishes on the 
table there, all of a sudden I had a kind of bad feeling come over me, and I 
said t mother "Something's happened to Johnnie."  At that I looked out the 
window and saw "Jack'" going past towards Third Street,.  Then I knew there 
would be trouble, as "Jack's" face was white and I thought he had a knife.  I 
rushed out of the house and  as I passed the corner of Third Street Jack said 
to me "I'll fix the _________ this time."  I met Johnnie in the middle of the 
block, as he was coming home after getting shaved, and told him Jack was on 
the corner, and I thought had a knife.  I made him promise to not go near the 
corner and follow me cat-a-cornered over the street so as to avoid Jack, when 
just as we were half way over the road, Jack rushed out of the new buildings, 
and leaning against a scaffold pole,        FIRED THE SHOT
that hit my brother"  Miss MOONEY also said that her sister, Lizzie had been 
there last evening and dared her to appear against the prisoner, but she 
intended to do so.
     The prisoner was held by Justice ELLIOTT, this morning, to await the 
result of the injuries to John MOONEY.

Death of an Aged Broker
     The flag of the New York Stock Exchange, yesterday, was at half mast, as

Monday night at his residence in this city.  Mr. DODGE was a member of the 
Philadelphia Exchange forty years ago, representing the firm of Messrs. E.W. 
CLARK & Co.  In 1845 he founded the New York firm of Messrs. E.W. CLARK, 
DODGE & Co., in Wall Street and remained in the house until he joined Messrs. 
Jay COOKE & Co. in 1865.  From this last firm he retired before their great 
misfortune in 1873, and has since remained in private life, for the most of 
the time an invalid.  He was sixty-five years of age.

EASTERN DISTRICT-THE SUICIDAL MANIA DEVELOPING RAPIDLY                             
A Man Accused of Wife Beating Hangs Himself in a Station-house - A Young 
Woman from Queens Chanty Tries to Drown Herself in the East River.
     Frank Ulrich, fifty-nine years of age, was arrested yesterday afternoon 
at three o'clock on a warrant issued by Justice GUCK and executed by Court 
Officer ROBERTSON, for beating his wife.  The couple have often quarreled, 
and ULRICH has been arrested twice before for the same offense.  When Doorman 
George BEEBLER, of the Sixth Precinct Station, visited the prisoner at 4:50 
P.M. and gave him a drink of water, he was very cheerful, and asked to have 
some coffee brought with his supper, which the doorman, knowing him, 
promised.  At 5:40 P.M., Doorman Bernard GRENNAN relieved BEEBLER, and at 
once went to the cells.  In the dim light he saw a shirt, as he thought, 
hanging from the cell door, and spoke to the prisoner, who made no answer.  
On investigation it was found that ULRICH had stripped his shirt over his 
head, and by securing it over the cell door had hanged himself.  Coroner 
NOLAN held an inquest last evening, and the jury found a verdict that ULRICH 
came to his death by hanging.

HUNG HERSELF
A Widow's Insane Act - Sad Discovery by a Son
     Miss Delia HACKETT, a widow aged fifty-five years, committed suicide 
this morning by hanging herself in her room at her son;s residence, No. 178 
Graham Street.  The first intimations that the family had of the occurrence 
was the failure of the old lady to present herself at the breakfast table.  
As she had been in an insane asylum, had only been recently discharged, and 
had several times, in moments of despondency, threatened to take her life, 
the fears of the family were at once excited, and a visit to her room by her 
son was attended with the discovery of her dead body.  The police of the 
Fourth Precinct were at once notified of the occurrence, and through them 
information of Mrs. HACKETT'S death was sent to Coroner SIMMS.

DIPHTHERIA        
The deaths from the Disease in Rev. Mr. Crowther's Family
A report on the Subject Presented to the Board of Health.  The Disease 
Traceable to a Dump and Unventilated Cellar 
       At the regular meeting of the Board of Health, held yesterday 
afternoon, President Crane, M.D., and Ald. Ray were the only members present.
       Sanitary Superintendent Raymond presented the report made to him by 
inspector Fisk, M.D., relative to the deaths in the family of Rev. Thomas 
Crowther, and no connection with the report called attention to the 
certificate of death presented by Dr. T. A. Van Duzee, of No. 47 Fifth 
Street, ED., giving the cause of Thomas Turner Crowther's death, aged nine 
years and ten months, as first, rematent fever, and second, exhaustion.  
Inspector Raymond's report was as follows:
       "The history of the group of diphtheria recently reported at No. 43 
Fifth Street, by Dr. Van Duzee, is briefly as follows:
       The premises consist of a three-story and basement dwelling, situated 
in a good neighborhood, provided with sewered house, closets and wash basins, 
and at the time of the outbreak, occupied by Rev. Thomas Crowther, wife and 
four children.     THE DISEASE APPEARED
to exhibit exceptional malignancy and resulted in the death of Mr. Crowther 
and three of the children.  The first case was that of the oldest child, 
Thomas T., aged ten years.  The attending physician states that he was first 
called to him on September 24, and that from then until September 29 he 
considered him affected with remittent fever, the symptoms appearing to be 
characteristic of that disease.  On the sixth day, directly subsequent to an 
attack of epoctoxis (bleeding of the nose) his attention was called to grave 
sore throat symptoms, and he then suspected the existence of diphtheria.  A 
consultation confirmed his suspicion and the patient was placed under the 
appropriate treatment.  This child died on October 5, exhibiting every 
indication of profound blood poisoning.  In the mean time the next child had 
become affected, Gracie, aged two and a half years, and Annie, aged five 
years, the former on October 1, the latter on October 2.  These cases 
presented distinct indications of diphtheria from the inception of the 
disease, and were at once recognized.  Annie died October 11, Gracie, October 
12.  The case of Mr. Crowther, who first exhibited symptoms of the disease on 
October 5, presented extremely painful features, as from his deep attachment 
to his children, he imprudently exposed himself to the contagion, by 
frequently repeated acts of endearment, despite the warnings of his 
physicians.  He exhibited grave, local symptoms early in his attack and 
                   DIED ASPHYXIATED
October 10.  The remaining child, an infant of about eight months, two nurses 
and the attending physicians are said to have exhibited slight indications of 
the contagion, but in each case the symptoms disappeared on treatment, and so 
far as known there now remains no case owing its origin to this group.  
       On an examination of these premises the consulting plumber reports in 
effect that he found nothing which lead him to believe there had been an 
escape of sewer gas, the trapping being ordinarily efficient, although 
without the late improvement of a ventilating pipe.  The cellar was found in 
an unventilated condition, the air therein being so foul as to be scarcely 
able to support combustion.  The house had been practically unoccupied during 
the greater part of the summer and early fall, the family having only 
recently returned from the country.  The attending physician states that from 
the time diphtheria was first recognized, all possible measures of isolation 
and disinfection were taken, and further, that the 
                   FUNERALS OF THE DECEASED
were conducted in a private matter.  The sick rooms have been fumigated, and 
the owner of the property directed to make such improvements as are 
necessary.  Investigation elicits no facts pointing to contagion as the 
origin of the first case of this group.

The Coroner's Jury in the case of James McNeil, 160 India Street, who 
was killed by the bursting of a pipe at Pratt's oil works last week, rendered 
a verdict of accidental death, and consider that the means of escape from the 
stalls in the yard are insufficient.

GEORGE L. FOX,  Humpty Dumpty, the well-known comedian, whose residence has 
been in Navy Street, this city, for several years past, died yesterday 
afternoon at the house of his brother-in-law, GEORGE C. HOWARD, Cambridge, 
Mass., aged fifty-two years.  Mr. FOX had received two or three different 
strokes of paralysis, which permanently impaired his mind, but had seasons of 
being quite rational, and in his latest hours, which were peaceful, he 
recognized the friends who gathered at his bedside.  FOX was born in Boston, 
inheriting, to some extent, from his mother's family, the WYATTS, his 
tendency to make the stage a profession.  His brothers, JAMES and CHARLES, 
were early on the stage, and his sister, MRS. G.C. HOWARD is the only 
recognized Topsy in the play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" the country has ever 
produced.  As a boy, FOX was ambitious to become a tragedian, but he never 
appeared in that role.  After appearing in comedy in a traveling company he 
played in New York, (rest of article cut off)

Philadelphia, at half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning, his last moments 
being peaceful and conscious.  Mr. GARDENER, Mr. JARVIS, of Boston, and MR. 
GARDENER were present, MRS. ADAM'S being momentarily absent.
EDWIN ADAMS was born in Medford, Mass, in 1834, and made his debut in Boston 
in 1853 as Stephen, in "The Huntchback" at the National Theatre.  Afterward 
he played in several minor roles at the Athenaeum.  In 1854 he appeared in 
Philadelphia and was thereafter in several stock companies in the larger 
cities of the country.  In 1858 he was the leading man at the Richmond 
Theatre, making successful appearances as a Shakespearean actor.  About that 
date he married Miss MARY WHITWORTH, a member of the company and niece of 
DAN. GARDENER, the well known retired circus clown, at whose house Mr. ADAMS 
died.  Mr. ADAMS' first success in New York was made at Niblo's Garden in 
1863 in Daly's "Leah."  In 1864 he was a star at the Winter Garden, and in 
the four years following he had successful engagements in various parts of 
the country.  When EDWIN BOOTH opened his theatre in Twenty-third Street 
EDWIN ADAMS was engaged as a "stock star."  His later engagements were in New 
York and other American cities and in Australia.  Ill-health at Melbourne 
compelled him to return to the United States.  He was stricken with 
consumption and has gradually faded from life.  As an actor he ranked high 
both in tragedy and comedy.  He was a man of fine personal presence, of 
generous and kindly nature with hosts of warm friends.
The funeral has been arranged for Thursday afternoon.  The services will be 
held at the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. James, corner of Twenty-second 
and Walnut Streets, Philadelphia, and the interment at Mount Moriah Cemetery,

Saturday urged his wife not to forget to give Mr. E.A. SOTHERN an onyx pin 
which he wore.

BURIED ALIVE- A SANDBREAK CAVES IN ON A POOR LABORER
           Wm. KEELLY, aged thirty five, of Classon and Baltic street was
employed on Saturday by contractor Patrick  McDONNELL to do some digging at
the corner of Hancock street and Ralph ave.  Yesterday morning Martin
MATTHEWS, of No 879 Hancock street, was surprised to discover KELLY'S tools
near the spot, but not their owner, and suspecting from  appearances that
the digger had met with accident, made an examination that resulted in
Kelly's  dead body being found buried in an upright position in the sandheap
upon which he had beenseen at work at sundown on Saturday. The police were
notified and the remains were removed to the Morgue.

THE  DEATH OF MICHAEL  O'HARE
    Corner CROKER took steps this morning toward invesgting the
circumstances of the death of Michael O'HARE, who died yesterday from the
effects of a fracture of the skull, supposed to have been caused by a fall
on the pavement after a blow struck by Alexander Mclane. These men, together
with several others, had quarreled about politics in Wittpen Brothers
saloon, at Fourth avenue and Thirty first street, New York, Saturday night,
and had been ejected by the proprietors. McLane returned to the saloon alone
soon afterward, and O'HARE was found dying on the sidewalk in an unconscious
condition and removed to his home at No. 445 Fourth avenue., New York.
McLane was arrested having been the last person seen with O'HARE, and having
been seen quarrelling with him.  So far as the Coroner has been able to
examine the case, the facts seems to warrant the belief that McLANE may not,
after all, be guilty of any crime.

A WATCHMAN'S FATAL QUARREL WITH A BOATMAN.
Terrible Affray at the Erie Basin-Liquor at the Bottom of the Trouble
Arrest of the Murderer.
     Wm. THOMPSON, a night watchman at Woodruff & McLeau's Stores, Erie
Basin, shat and instantly killed a boatman named Geo.Mc BRIDE about
half-past eight o'clock last night.  Officer Mc CAULEY, of the Eleventh
Precinct, arrested THOMPSON  and two companions of the dead man, Michael
DOOLEY and John WALSH, the last  two as witnesses. To Inspector WADDY,
THOMPSON made the following statement, to which credence is given since the
act was that of a drunken man, and THOMPSON, as well as the witnesses, was
under the influence of liquor when arrested:
    " The other watchman and I were together at the corner of Commerce and
??lav streets when McBRIDE and the others came along. McBRIDE said to me,
"You're a-------- of a watchman.  I said "No, I ain't" when he struck me.
Then we clinched , and I did the best I could for myself.  I got my pistol
out and we separated. I told him if he wanted to fight a duel to come
around the corner.  He said he was unarmed,  I told him to get a pistol
then, and come around.  I went around the corner, when I looked around and
saw McBRIDE following; I told him to keep off, but he followed me, when I
tried.
     The Inspector said that THOMPSON seemed unable to comprehend the
enormity
of the crime he had committed.  McBRIDE was shot through the heart and died
where he fell. THOMPSON made no attempt to escape. He has hitherto borne
excellent reputations.

deceased. testified to having found him suspended by the neck from a hook in
a clothes closet off their bedroom. James A. AYRES, another brother, who
slept in another part of the house, testified having been summoned by Alden
to assist in getting deceased out of the closet, it having been at first
supposed that deceased had been taken sick and had been unable to get out.
The jury rendered a verdict of death by asphyxia from hanging, while
laboring under temporary ?????? of the mind.

Mrs. STUART'S SUICIDE.
Six Months of Gilded Misery with  a Drunken Husband.
     The suicide of Mrs. Evelyn  STUART, briefly  reported in the fourth
edition of this paper yesterday , presents some points of exceptional
interest.  The lady was known previous to her marriage as Miss Evelyn MARKS,
though her  real name  was TERRY. She was a niece of Mrs. A.B. MARKS, of 62
West thirty fourth street, New York. and  an adopted daughter.  In April
last she was married to Robert STUART,  a son of Lieutenant Commander
STUART, of the U.S. Navy, who died some years ago at Detroit.  The widow of
Commander STUART is now the wife of ex Congressman Ward, of New York, and is
at present traveling in Europe with her husband and her daughter.  Robert
STUART is now twenty six years old. His father left the children well
provided for, but Robert unfortunately had inherited also a love of drink.
His wedding at  St. Thomas' Church one evening last spring was of the
fashionable sort, and the reception was attended with much display.  After
the wedding trip rooms were taken at the Berkeley House, corner of Fifth
avenue and Ninth street, young STUART holding a position in the Gallatin
National Bank, at 36 Wall street.  He has latterly  been very irregular in
his duties on account of drunkenness.  His wife, it appears, was ignorant of
this habit until sometime after marriage.  Latterly he has spent hours in
their apartments in drunken stupor.  Still later he has been brutal and has
beaten her. Hers tears, prayers, remonstrance's, were all in vain.  On
Saturday she went home but again returned to him.  Her husband was the first
to  discover at six o'clock yesterday morning that she was dying.  The end
came at 7:45. She had taken laudanum. Three letters to the fact that she
would rather die than live.  She and her husband were both members of St.
Thomas P.E. Church.

THE SUICIDE OF MRS. . STUART
    The body of Mrs.STUART, who committed suicide by taking laudanum in New
York Monday, was removed to the residence of Mr. MARKS, in West
Thirty -fourth street,where the funeral takes place today.  Mr. STUART, the
husband was yesterday at the Berkeley House prostrated  by grief and the
effects of his recent dissipation. but it was thought might be able to
attend his wife's funeral.  The lady will be buried in her bridal dress.
Coroner WOLTMAN, declines to furnish for publication the letters feft by
Mrs. STUART, but says they are pathetic enough to melt a heart of stone.
Mrs. STUART was one of five daughters.  Her father holds a high position in
the house of Cheney Brothers in Broome street. Her mother, Mrs. Stuart, was
many years a sufferer from disease which affected her mind at times. She
conceived a violent prejudice against Evelyn, though often tender and
affectionate.  This led to Evelyn's removal from home and her adoption in
the family of Mrs. MARKS.  Her oldest sister, Emma, was nearly as
unfortunate in her marriage.  She wedded Dr. J.T. BUNKLEY, a Virginian, but
was compelled to separate from him several years before her death on account
of his dissipated habits and his illusage of her.  In the belief of some of
Mrs. STUART'S friends her death is the result of insanity, developed by the
drunkenness and brutality of her husband.

FIENDISH A  HORRIBLE  STORY DISCOVERED IN A DRUNK
A Drunken Husband Beats and Mutilates an Insane Wife--He Wastes his
Substance in Riotous Loving and Hastens His Family to Poverty.
    George S. WHEELER, of 353 Graham ave. was found dead drunk in the gutter
on Grand near Tenth St, last evening and locked up in the 4th street Station
house until this morning, when Justice Elliott, supposing the case to be one
of ordinary drunkenness, where a well bred man had for once overstepped the
limits of propriety,discharged WHEELER with a reprimand.  But there is a
story, and  A SAD ONE About a year ago WHEELER, who was a drug clerk in 
a wholesale house in New York, became possessed of a house and lot, 
a legacy  from his grandmother, which he sold for $7000.00 in cash and 
furniture enough to furnish the house 353 Graham ave, 
where he now resides.  He had been persuaded to remove from
New York by his wife and some of his best friends in order to break off evil
associations. With an anmable wife and three children, one an infant in
arms, with a bright prospect before him in business point of view, it was
thought that, as a practical chemist, with a laboratory and factory of his
own in the Eastern District, he would make his mark. Instead of embarking in
business as was hoped he BECAME MORE DISSIPATED.
and from a kind husband, became a brutal master, beating his wife and
children when under  the influence of liquor, and in his spells of kindness,
lavishing money upon his wife and children, the latter often having been
seen with  ten dollar bills in their hands, "given them by father". during
the past summer Mrs. WHEELER became insane. She was possessed of a harmless
mania which consisted of a belief that her household goods were to be sold
for debt; and her old mother, who lived with her, sent to the Almshouse. As
HER INSANITY INCREASED, she declared that her babe in arms was dying,  a
prediction which was verified in August. Thenher mother went to live with
another daughter.  Meantime the wife, in one of her spells, of reason, had
visited Justice GUCK'S, but after arriving there could not make complaint,
her courage failing her.  WHEELER'S conduct became so outrageous that
Messes, BEALES and MEAKIN, neighbors, complained of WHEELER, who was sent by
Justice GUCK to St, Catharine's Hospital, and after remaining there 2 weeks
was released, being placed    UNDER SURVEILLANCE,  Court Officer DUFFY being
charged with the duty of looking after him.  This was in September. Officer
DUFFY died last week and thereupon WHEELER broke out afresh. He drew $750.00
from the Williamsburg Saving Bank on Wednesday last and spent it all.  He
drew $75 from the same bank yesterday and $74.09 was found in his pocket
last night, showing that it had taken 91cents worth of liquor to put him in
the gutter.  There is but $425. of the $7000. LEFT
in the bank, and if he is not restrained his wife, himself and family must
soon come to want. After his discharge today, he went home and was taken
with an attack of delirious tremens.  During lucid intervals he promised Mr.
MEAKIM that he would stop if he could. His wife, who was getting along
finely, and had fully recovered her reason, seems now  AGAIN HOPELESSLY INSANE.
This morning   she sat talking to herself, and trying to ease the pain of
her fingers, which her husband had bitten nearly off, and also trying in a
helpless manner, to take down the swellings and bruises caused by the kicks
her drunken husband had bestowed upon her body.  Her face also was a mass of
scratches and bruises. Justice GUCK  has been notified of the above facts,
and can, should he choose so to do , put hi effect the sentence against
WHEELER, which was only suspended on a former occasion.

SELF  MURDER.  THE MELANCHOLY FTE OF A YOUNG WOMAN.
She Takes Arsenic Last Evening and Dies at Noon--A Story of Unrequited Affection--
Why did her fiancée reject her?
Lucy MARTIN, an attractive young woman of 21 years, was found prostrated by
convulsions, superinduced by arsenical poisoning, on Broadway, near Linden
st.,last evening.  An ambulance was promptly on the spot with Surgeon
VALENTINE, who administered antidotes to the sufferer and removed her to St.
Catharine's Hospital, Bushwick ave., E.D. in a dying condition. The
unfortunate, young woman told Dr. VALENTINE her name, and that she lived at
No.312 South Third st. She said that, having quarreled with her father he
had purchased some  arsenic at the drug store of Dr.HOLMES, at Broadway and
8th st, and had taken a part of it.  An unlabeled paper was found in her
pocket containing the remainder of the poison, and Dr. VALENTINE discovered
that she was pregnant, which fact she denied until her death which occurred
just before midnight. The story of her life, as related by her brother, a
lad of 16years, indicates that she was led astray by one Wm. H. LARAMIE, of
Lorimer st. According to the boy's account LARAMIE became very attentive to
Lucy, about a year ago. soon after the death of her mother, who is buried in
the cemetery near which her dying daughter was found. Her father opposed her
intimacy with LARAMIE, but the latter promised to marry her, and relying on
this promise she went to live with him about 6 months ago. About 6 weeks ago
LARAMIE brought Lucy back to her home, told her father that he would not
marry her under any circumstances, and refused to make any explanation
further than to tell him to ask Lucy herself.  Lucy was greatly dejected.
After remaining at home several days, crying all the time  she left, saying
she would get a situation.  Yesterday she came home again and spent the day,
though her father did not see her, as he was at work, and she left just
before he came home.  She cried several times during the day, but seemed
cheerful when she bid her family good-bye before going out in the evening.
LARAMIE who was found in a cigar store on Grand st. near Lorimer said he had
been paying attentions to Lucy but whom he found she had left home on his
account he told her he would not marry her,and on the 15th of last month he
took her home, saying he would call for a little while so as to prevent any
talk., and then she could get other company if she wished. When he was told
that Lucy was dying in St. Catharine's Hospital of  poison, he started,
wrung his hands and with tears in his eyes, exclaimed: "My God! why didn't
she see me ?  I'd have made some arrangement with her."  Then he asked,
eagerly, "Can I see her"!,When told he could by applying at the hospital, he
said  "But I don't want to see her father. I wouldn't meet him there  for
the world." On being told if he hurried he could get there first, he started
on a run for the hospital.
     Dr. HOLMES, the druggist, said he did not have frequent calls for
arsenic and was careful to whom he sold it. He remembered, that yesterday
morning he sold some to a woman who said her husband had sent her for it to
kill rats. She gave a name that sounded like MARTIN, and an address, and
told such a plausible story of her method of using it that he let her have
it, placing 2 labels on the packages."if, how ever," said he , in
conclusion, "it turns out that this Lucy is the one who bought it, I will
never sell another bit of the stuff.  I have never had  such a thing occur
before since I have been in the business."
     Corner NOLAN, who has been informed of the case, will investigate the
sad affair.      In justice to LARAMIE, it should be staed that Mr. MARTIN has said
that LARAMIE'S conduct was always that of a gentleman to his daughter Lucy,
and that on the occasion of his giving her up, he. LARAMIE, stated that it
was not his fault as Lucy herself would say. It would seem that since the
death of her mother, the young woman became unsettled in her mind,
discontented with her home and surroundings, and somewhat as a young man of
good character, and it has been suggested-leaving out the rumor of her
pregnancy which can only be settled by an autopsy - that she recently became
aware that through witfulnessshe had thrown away her chances of happiness
and usefulness.

FUNERAL OF Mrs. L.A. PENTECOST
The Sudden Death of the Young and Beloved Wife of a Clergyman.
The funeral of Mrs. Laura A. PENTECOST, wife of Rev. H.O. PENTECOST, 
of Westerly, Rhode Island, but formerly of this city, took place at 
eleven o'clock this morning from the residence of her father, 
Mr. Robert G. ANDERSON, corner of Clinton and Fulton streets. 
Deceased was in the twenty-fifth year of her age, and died at Westerly, 
on last Tuesday, of rheumatism of the heart, leaving one child, a 
little girl of four years. Few woman at the age of twenty-four have 
endeared themselves as much to the community by their Christian virtues 
and sweet simplicity of character as this gentle lady did. In this city 
the circle of her acquaintances was large; in Westerly, as the wife of 
the eloquent pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, she was so generally 
beloved that the Providence Journal says of her death;
Mrs. PENTECOST had been among us but comparatively a short time, but long 
enough to endear her to all who knew her. The sudden death of this esteemed 
lady falls like a pall of gloom over the entire community.
Among her intimate friends, one whose friendship dates back to girlhood, 
was Miss Emma C. THURSBY, who upon being acquainted with Mrs. PENTECOST'S 
death, sent a beautiful letter to Mr. ANDERSON, expressing regret that an 
imperative engagement at Boston compelled her to leave New York without an 
opportunity to attend the funeral.
The services today were conducted by Rev. Dr. Reuben JEFFREY, of this city, 
assisted by Rev. Wm. T. CARMICHAEL, of Jamaica, L.I. A choir led by Mr. CAMP 
sang several hymns. The remains were not exposed to view, and after the 
services were borne to the hearse by 
HON. James M. PENDLETON, 
E.A. LEWIS, 
E.H. KNOWLES, 
S.C. BURDICK,

DEATH OF AN EX COURT CLERK
Mr. Patrick ENNIS, in the past well known as The Clerk of the Fifth 
District Justice's Court, died on Saturday afternoon at his residence 
in the Eastern District. The deceased had been suffering for the past 
year from an inward tumor, which baffled all medical treatment, and died 
with great resignation. He was well known as a prominent Democratic leader 
of the Fifteenth Ward, and at one time had considerable voice in the 
affairs of that party for the whole of the E.D.

SUDDEN DEATH;
George J. PEARSON, forty-six years old, of No. 1611 Fulton street,

KILLED BY CARS-FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE RAPID TRANSIT LINE.
Death of an Aged Lady and a Young Man who Tried to Save Her-How the 
Accident Happened-Arrest of the Engineer and Conductor-Coroner's Proceedings.
The second fatal accident on the Atlantic avenue division of the Long Island 
Railroad occurred at 6:18 o'clock last evening at the Grand avenue crossing. 
Two persons were killed, an aged lady, whose remains at the time of writing 
had not been identified, and a youth of seventeen years, James DONLAN, son 
of Contractor DONLAN, of No. 785 Dean street, whose life was sacrificed 
in a heroic attempt to save the lady from the terrible fate that overtook her.
The facts in this case are as follows; The train was a down train, from 
East New York, composed of the motor Bedford and two passenger cars. The 
engineer was James DELANCY, aged twenty-seven, and the conductor, James ROTHWELL, 
aged thirty-eight, both residents of East New York. As the train approached 
the Grand crossing, which is not a stopping place, the flagman stationed at 
that point, waved his lantern as a danger signal to persons in the vicinity. 
He stood in the centre of Grand avenue, on the northerly side of the track, 
midway between the crossings designed for pedestrians. At the moment two 
women were approaching, the deceased on the easterly crossing, from the 
direction of Fulton street, and another woman on the westerly crossing from 
the direction of Pacific street, but on the opposite side of the track. To 
both he signalled, and both he thought fully comprehended the import of the 
signals. So far as the woman on the opposite side of the track was concerned, 
his conjectures proved correct; she halted. The deceased, however, apparently 
did not notice or did not understand what the light meant and calmly advanced.

DROWNED IN PHILADELPHIA;A MISSING BROOKLYN MAN ACCOUNTED FOR;
Two weeks ago George Edward JEANNOT, brother of the State street watch 
case manufacturers, disappeared from this city. Cards containing the 
likeness and description of the missing man were sent all over the Union 
by Police Superintendent CAMPBELL. The wisdom of this course was seen this 
morning in a dispatch from Kenward H. JONES, Chief of Police, Philadelphia, 
stating that deceased had been drowned in that city, and that his body was 
lying at the Morgue there. Under what circumstances Mr. JEANNOT was drowned 
is not known. One of his brothers has gone on to Philadelphia for the body.

A MISERABLE END;WEALTHY, BUT DYING ALONE AND UNCARED FOR-A STRANGE CASE.
Mrs. MACKENS, who lives at No. 281 Gold street, reported this morning to 
Police Sergeant CAIN, of the First Precinct, that she feared something 
had happened to an old gentleman who lived in the basement of her house, 
as she had not seen him since Sunday. Officer HEFFERAN was sent to make 
an investigation. He had to force open the door, when he discovered the 
occupant lying dead on the bed. The body was greatly emaciated, but whether 
from disease or want he could not decide. The room was furnished in a 
meager manner. No one in the neighborhood knew the name of deceased. 
Subsequently it was ascertained that it was John E. POTTS, sixty years of 
age, and the owner of a house and lot in Fulton street, near Oxford, and 
another house in Myrtle avenue. He was evidently of a miserly disposition, 
and at one time had occupied the attic of his house in Myrtle avenue. 
Mr. McILVAIN, a real estate dealer of Sands street, told the police this 
afternoon that he had for twelve years collected rents for the deceased. 
Coroner SIMMS will hold an inquest.

A MISER'S END
STARVING TO DEATH WITH MONEY WITHIN REACH-INFATUATED WITH POLICY;
John F. POTTS, the old man who was found dead yesterday in the basement 
of No. 281 Gold street, was ascertained yesterday by Dr. SHAW, in a post 
mortem examination to have been dead two days and to have died of starvation. 
The apartment where POTTS died was found dirty and poorly furnished. 
In the trunk of the deceased were found $76 and a great pile of policy 
slips, which from a memorandum book he is judged to have bought to the 
degree of infatuation. He left property estimated to be worth upward of 
$50,000. Three years ago his wife died. His only brother died, and it is 
reported that his sole remaining relatives, two nieces, one is in a 
lunatic asylum, and the other eloped with a man and has not since been 
heard from. Coroner SIMMS today held an inquest in the case. The remains 
will be interred at Greenwood.

MRS. ELWELL'S FUNERAL
The funeral of the late Mrs. Catherine Duryea ELWELL took place this 
afternoon from the family residence, 364 Clermont avenue. It was only 
last week that this Christian lady took part in the Helping Hand fair, 
when she appeared to be in her usual health. Subsequently, she was 
attacked with pneumonia and expired on Tuesday. Besides being associated 
with most of the institutions of charity in this city, she was the 
President of the Brooklyn Women's Temperance Society. Deceased was the 
wife of Mr. John P. ELWELL, the well known shipper.

ACCIDENTALLY POISONED;
FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING A MISTAKE IN MEDICINES
Mrs. Esther HART, aged fifty-one, died yesterday, at No. 89 State street 
from the effects of an accidentally swallowed dose of poison. She was 
boarding at the house in question with her husband and children, and being 
troubled with salt rheum, had been using as a lotion an Indian remedy 
put up by O'BISSELL, of No. 795 Pacific street. A week ago yesterday 
she took a dose of the lotion, mistaking it for salts, although it was 
properly labelled "poison." Dr. HALLETT, of Clinton street, was 
immediatley sent for, and after prescribing the proper antidotes and 
remedies, caused an analysis of the lotion to be made. He found that 
it was a solution of corrosive sublimate. Mrs. HART lingered for a 
week and then died. Coroner SIMMS will hold an inquest.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT;
MISS BARNES TO BE BURIED TOMORROW-YOUNG DONLON'S BODY CONSIGNED TO 
THE GRAVE YESTERDAY-HIS MOTHER'S GRIEF;
The funeral of the old lady, Miss Emma BARNES, of No. 8 Atlantic avenue, 
one of the victims of the railroad accident of last Monday evening, 
will take place tomorrow from this city, though the time and place 
for holding the services have not as yet been decided upon. Her nephew 
by marriage, Mr. WAGSTAFF, of Harlem, yesterday called upon Mr. J.M. HOPPER, 
undertaker, of Court and Joralemon street, and seemed greatly pleased 
with the kindly manner in which the remains had been cared for. In 
accordance with an opinion expressed by the deceased when her two 
sisters died, three years ago, the body has been placed in a handsome 
silver-mounted coffin, the old lady having in her old fashioned notions, 
entertained a prejucice against that funeral invention of modern times 
the casket. The funeral will take place in Greenwood.
The funeral of James J. DONLON, aged seventeen, who lost his life in a 
heroic endeavor to save that of Miss BARNES, took place yesterday 
afternoon from the residence of his parents, a small two story frame 
structure in the rear of No. 785 Dean street, near Grand avenue. The 
tragic circumstances of his death gave the last sad rites which man can 
perform over his brother man, an interest in the eyes of the public that
drew many strangers as well as friends to the house of mourning. The 
body rested in a silver-mounted coffin, and near it sat the afflicted 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. DONLON, and the two brothers of the deceased. 
In accordance with a custom peculiar to the Roman Catholic faith, no 
ceremonies took place in the house and the body was removed at the 
appointed hour to the hearse in waiting and followed by fifty carriages, 
taken to Holy Cross Cemetery at Flatbush.
Arrived at the cemetery it was borne by the pallbearers 
Michael GIBBONS, 
Michael CONNORTON, 
Thomas FARRELL, 
Thomas DONLON, 
James DONLON, 
Peter O'RILEY, into the Mortuary Chapel, from whence, after a brief service, 
it was taken to its last earthly resting place. The scene at the grave was  
made very painful by the lamentations of the mother, father and brothers. 
Among the friends present were ex-Alderman Daniel O'CONNOR, 
ex-Supervisor Richard J. NEWMAN, Edward CURRAN, and Contractors BROWN and FLANNIGAN.

A TRAGIC MYSTERY
THE BODY OF JAMES McHICHOL FOUND NEARLY NUDE IN THE EAST RIVER;
The body of James McNICHOL, a clerk in the Union Dime Savings Bank in New York, 
was found floating in the East River yesterday, at the foot of Gouverneur 
street, in almost a nude state, being divested of all clothing except a 
waistcoat, a white shirt and black silk necktie. It is much decomposed, 
and the flesh on the face has been eaten away. One of the legs is broken.
Mr. McNICHOL left the Dime Savings Bank on the afternoon of November 17, 
for his home in Rutledge street in this city, as heretofore reported. The 
next morning a cartman, named James LEARY, found scattered along the sidewalk 
at Monroe and Montgomery streets, the passbook and papers belonging to the 
dead man, and the theory advanced by his friends is that he was attacked by 
thieves, and was pursued to the river, where he was assaulted, robbed of his 
money and outer clothing, and then thrown into the river.
The only property found on the body was in the inside pocket of his waistcoat. 
It consisted of two letters from family connections in New Zealand, a bunch of 
keys, and a common diary, with a dollar bill folded up in it. Two gold and 
pearl shirt buttoms had been removed, and a watch and chain which he had on 
when he left the bank are also missing. The part of the river where the dead 
man's property was found, and where the body was subsequently discovered, 
is a lonely spot, and is frequented by desperate persons.
The police authorities report that they have made inquiry at each saloon 
in the vicinity, and can secure no proof of his having been seen in them. 
Their theory of the cause of death is that having been drinking heavily, 
Mr McNICHOL mistook the direction to the ferry and walked overboard. At 
the same time they admit that the removal of his clothing, which was nearly 
new and  of a good quality, puzzles them. Cornoner FLANAGAN will hold an inquest today.

SPOONER, Mary Ann WESTMORE, Mrs., widow of Col. Alden SPOONER, formerly of 
this city, stepmother of Alden SPOONER, Deputy Clerk of the City Court of 
Brooklyn, died at St. Mary's Institution, Rochester, New York, on the 18th 
of December, in her eighty-fourth year. She was distinguished as a teacher and writer.

CRUSHED TO DEATH
A BRIDGE ARCH FALLS WITH FATAL EFFECT
One Man Killed-Narrow Escape of a Dozen Workmen-What the Master Mason Says.
A fatal accident involvingg the death o f a laborerm Neil MULLEN, 
aged forty-five, a widower, and the sole support of six children, 
occurred at 4:10 P.M., Saturday, at the Brooklyn Anchorage of the 
East River Bridge. It was occasioned by the fall of a brick arch. 
MULLEN was buried in the debris, and so shockingly mangled that his 
body was crushed almost out of human semblance. The remains were 
removed to the late residence of the deceased, No. 44 Front street.

(31 May 1878 
THE BRIDGE ACCIDENT
    VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY--A LACK OF PROPER PRECAUTION.
    Coroner SIMMS concluded last evening the investigation respecting the
death of Neill MULLEN, the workman crushed on the 22d of December, by the
giving way of a brick arch at the Brooklyn anchorage of the East River Bridge.
    The witnesses were Robert R. BURWICK, foreman of the brick yard; Michael
FLAHERTY, foreman of the stone mason; Wm. CONNOLLY,  a stone mason; Michael
LYNCH, assistat foreman; George McNULTY, Assistant Engineer, in charge of
construction; C. C. MARTINS, Assistant Engineer, in charge of construction.
    The verdict was that "Neil MULLEN came to his death by being crushed
beneath the brick and mortar of the fallen arches, at the Brooklyn anchorage
of the East River Bridge on the 22d day of December, 1877; it is the opinion
of the jury that had the "centres" been allowed to remain a sufficient time
to have admitted of the mortar becoming properly set, that the accident
might have been avoided, and they are more strongly inclined to this belief
from the testimony that one of the piers which supported the arch in
question, had sustained an injury during the progress of the work, which was
deemed at the time to be a very serious character by those in charge of the
work, but was, it seems to the jury, of sufficient importance to have called
for greater precaution in the construction of the arches, pending the
construction of the final pier or abutment, with the completion of which, in
our opinion, such an accident would be impossible.
    The jurors were 
Samuel BOOTH, 
J.W. NAUGHTON, 
Abram ALLEN, 
Henry A.ROGERS, 
J. D. McCLOSKY, 
B. C. MULLER, and M. J. BRIEN.)

A VERY DESPERATE SUICIDE
John GRICE, a German jeweller who had taken to drink through being 
out of employment, cut his throat on Monday afternoon at his residence, 
43 Varet street. His wife dissuaded him from hanging himself early 
Monday morning, and during her absence  he tried to poison their 
infant nine months of age, by giving it some fluid which burned the 
child's mouth and throat. After cutting his throat with a razor, he 
tried to put a file through the wound into his lungs. He will probably 
die as he has erysipelas in his face. The infant will recover, as it 
did not swallow the poison given it by its father.

SHOT TO THE HEART-SUICIDE OF A DESPONDENT HUSBAND AND FATHER
Shocking Tragedy in a South Brooklyn Courtyard-Strange Letter to a Child.
Nine yars ago Joseph BALDINSCHNEILER married the daughter of Mr. FISCHER, 
of Smith and Sackett streets. One child was born to them, Julia, and of 
her both the parents were very fond. But as the years wore on domestic 
disagreement began to imbitter  husband and wife toward each other, and a 
year ago the latter sought an asylum in her father's house, taking her child 
with her. Since then BALDINSCHNEILER has lived alone in New York, supporting 
himself by tending bar at No. 12 East Houston street. But the separation, 
especially from his little daughter, now a promising child of eight years, 
preyed heavily upon his mind. He became depressed and melancholy, and 
finally resolved to put an end to his unhappiness by committing suicide. 
The threat was finally carried into execution on Christmas Eve, in the 
courtyard of his father-in-law's residence. There was but one eyewitness 
of the act. Mrs. WILKINSON, of No. 283 Smith street, who saw him place a 
revolver to his breast, fire and fall. The police of the Third Precinct 
promptly arrived, but found him dead, the bullet having entered his heart.
Dr. MATTHEWSON was also on hand, but of course could render no assistance. 
The widow and father-in-law refusing to care for the remains, Captain LEAVY 
had them removed to the station house, from whence, by direction of Coroner SIMMS, 
they were sent to the Morgue. The following letter addressed to his daughter,
Julia, was found in the pocket of the deceased; " I bid you live well; 
I, your father. Once more, live well, and never step in the same path 
where your friends or connections will go or you will be lost. Julie, 
my love, Julia-God bless her, and not let the Devil get the upper 
hand of thee. Yours-it is father's last words, "Joseph BALDINSCHNEILER."

FRIGHTFUL FUN
JOKING WITH A GUN AND KILLING A FRIEND-A CHRISTMAS DAY HORROR
A number of boys sought amusement yesterday morning by shooting with 
guns at a mark at the foot of Elizabeth street. Among them were Thomas O'ROURKE, 
aged fourteen, whose parents reside at the foot of Dykeman street, and David SWEENEY, 
aged fifteen, the son of a near neighbor. While thus engaged, SWEENEY, playfully 
snatched a gun from the hands of a companion, George METCALF, and not knowing it 
to be loaded, as it is thought, pointed it at O'ROURKE, exclaiming:
"I will shoot you!" The hammer fell, the gun exploded, and a charge of 
shot tore through the chin and throat of the unfortunate boy at whom the 
weapon was aimed. Death was instantaneous. Horrified at the result of his 
carelessness, SWEENEY stood paralyzed with fear and sorrow, while his companions 
were equally alarmed. His explanation to Sergeant SLATTERY and Officer CAIN,
of the Eleventh Precinct, was that he did not know the gun was loaded. 
George METCALF, aged sixteen, Thomas COLWELL, aged twenty, and Peter COLWELL, 
aged sixteen, were arrested as witnesses. The body was removed to the 
residence of the parents. The inquest will be held at 7:30 P.M., Friday.

TRAGIC EVENT-MONROE PLACE STARTLED THIS AFTERNOON
A Young Man Shoots His Wife-Her Narrow Escape from Instant Death-He is Arrested
A tragic event in high life occurred at two o'clock this afternoon. 
James E. JOHNSON, twenty years of age, a resident of No. 233 West Twenty-third 
street, New York, and said to be a son of the wealthy Broadway stage proprietor, 
attempted to murder his wife at the residence of her father, Mr. R. BENEDICT, 
No. 43 Monroe place.
The couple have been married about a year, but for some reason have been 
living apart for the past few weeks.
The husband called on his wife this afternoon and meeting her upstairs is 
alleged to have threatened to shoot her and the babe at her breast.
She ran down stairs and as she did so he fired, the ball entering her shoulder 
and passing out below the breast.
She ran into the street. Officer VAUGHAN took her to the First Precinct Station 
house in a coach.
The assailant was arrested by Officer BOYLAN, and on entering the Station-house 
remarked, "I am sorry I did it." He was locked up.
Mrs. JOHNSON'S wound is serious.

THE HEIGHTS HORROR-THE SHOOTING OF MRS. JOHNSON BY HER HUSBAND
Full Particulars of the Shocking Affair-Two Estimable Families plunged 
into Grief by a Young Man's Rashness-An Unbridled Temper at the Bottom of 
the Case-The Prisoner Formally Committed to Raymond Street Jail.
The attempt made yesterday afternoon by Charles E. JOHNSON, of 233 West 
Twenty-second street, New York, to murder his wife, Flora JOHNSON, and 
their infant child, at the residence of her father, Mr. Roswell S. BENEDICT, 
No. 43 Monroe place, was briefly stated in these columns last evening. Owing 
to the late hour at which the shooting took place, full details could not be 
obtained in time for publication. All the circumstances of the affair are 
herewith set forth:
Charles E. JOHNSON is the only son of the well known and wealthy Broadway, 
New York, stage proprietor. When between nineteen and twenty years of age, 
only a year ago, he married the daughter of Mr. BENEDICT, a retired merchant, 
formerly senior member of the New York shoe firm of BENEDICT, HALL & CO. 
The wedding took place at the residence of the bride's parents, Rev. Henry 
Ward BEECHER officiating. The young couple went to New York to live., But it 
soon became apparant to the parents on both sides that all was not as it 
should be. The young husband was possessed of an ungovernable temper, and 
when once that temper was aroused he apparently could not control it, and 
there were domestic scenes that interested parties but hint at, preferring 
to generously bury the dead past.
In due time a child was born, but still the cup of unhappiness was pressed 
to the lips of the young, beautiful and still loving wife. Finally endurance 
ceased to be a virtue, and a week ago she sought an asylum with her parents.
This act of hers seems to have greatly excited the husband, and yesterday 
afternoon he called at Mr. BENEDICT'S house, and being accorded an interview 
with his wife in the parlor, drew a pistol on her and the infant at her breast. 
She fled and had gotten four steps down the basement stairs when he fired one 
shot at her. The ball struck her on the shoulder. Apparently overcome with 
horror he did not fire again, nor attempt to force an entrance into the 
dining room, where she had taken refuge to escape, although he followed 
her downstairs.

THE DEATH OF JAMES McNICHOL
A Coroner's Jury's Verdict against William Leary.

in the case of James McNICHOLL, of this city, a clerk in the Union 
Dime Savings Bank, whose body was found December 16 in the river, 
at the foot of Montgomery street, New York. The evidence showed 
that McNICHOLL visited a saloon on Montgomery street on the evening 
of November 17, and went out in company of Wm. LEARY, a driver, and 
was not seen again. LEARY returned to the saloon in about an hour 
flushed and excited, and said that he had a hard time getting the 
man to the ferry. The verdict of the jury was that McNICHOLL came 
to his death from injuries inflicted by LEARY, who was committed by 
the Coroner without bail.

LIZZIE SOAR:
THE RUIN AND SUICIDE OF AN UNHAPPY BROOKLYN GIRL:
On the evening of November 21, a girl giving the name of Lizzie WILSON, 
daughter of Henry WILSON, of this city, Eastern District, was admitted 
to the Nursery and Child's Hospital, at Fifty-first street and Lexington 
avenue, New York. She was alone, and told Dr. Beckwith that she had 
been betrayed by a young man, whose name she refused to give. From the 
time of her admission to the hospital to the 24th instant, when she 
became the mother of a male child, she received no visitors, never 
spoke of her family and appeared anxious to avoid observation. On 
Saturday evening while laboring under an attack of pnerperal mania,
she sprang from the window of her room in the third story of the building, 
and striking upon the roof of the veranda was further precipitated to the 
ground, where she was found in a state of insensibility. She died a few 
minutes later. Death, in Dr. BECKWITH'S opinion, was due to shock, and 
he also believes that his patient was seized with sudden mania which 
prompted her to suicide. When her effects were searched the address of 
H.H.G. SOAR, on 926 North Eighth street, Eastern District of this city, 
was found. A messenger was sent there and Mr. SOAR on arriving at the 
hospital was horrified on identifying the suicide as his daughter 
Elizabeth, aged twenty-three, who left her home on the day she entered 
the hospital.
