An Article of Genuine Merit.
In this age of shams it is pleasant to meet with an article of genuine merit.  
Such a one is Glenn's Sulphur Soap, a remedy for diseases of the skin and 
a beautifier of the complexion.  All the advantages derivable from Sulphur 
baths are conferred by the use of this inexpensive substitute.  The ladies 
speak of it in the highest terms as a means of softening and whitening the skin.  
The recommendation of physicians has been frequently cited in its behalf and 
testimonials from respectable sources would seem to leave no reasonable doubt 
that it possesses claims upon public confidence of the most positive kind.  
Merely regarded as an adjunct of the bath and toilet, it is very desirable, 
and as a remedy for eruptions, irritation and abrasions of the cuticle it 
takes high rank.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE
Brooklyn Men who were Discharged on Saturday
A reporter of the Union Argus called upon Mr. F. J. PHILIPS, Collector
ARTHUR’s secretary at the Custom House this morning, and asked him for a
list of the men residing in Brooklyn who have been discharged from places in
the Custom House.
He said 'I cannot give it to you , for in the opinion of the Collector it
would be both cruel and unjust to the men who have been discharged to
publish their names. I can say, however, that last week we discharged one
hundred and seventy.'
It is no secret, however, that the following are the names of some of the
Brooklyn men who have been decapitated by Collector ARTHUR:
Henry  B. FISH, cashier, First Ward
David WILSON, watchman, Twentieth Ward
E. A. PARKINSON, clerk, Twentieth Ward
M. J. SUMMERS, inspector, Tenth Ward

John POWERS, messenger Eleventh Ward

GREENPOINT ITEMS
At the meeting of property owners, in Temperance Hall, last evening, Mr.
P.F. McBREEN announced that he had waited upon the Board of Health in
company with Dr. MORRISSEY, and that the Health authorities had promised to
do all in their power to abate the Newtown Creek nuisances. The recent
report of Inspector FISKE proved, he claimed, that Mr. PIDGEON had not
complied with the terms of his agreement, and that Inspector ELLIOTT had
failed to call attention to that fact. At their next meeting he proposed to
move that the removal of Mr. ELLIOTT be recommended. The stipulation that
three feet of fresh earth were to be deposited on the ashes had not been
observed, but Dr. CRANE, had himself visited the meadows and doubtless his
visit would be productive of beneficial results in more respects that one.
As nothing more could be done until some decisive action had been taken by
the authorities he would move that the meeting adjourn subject to the call
of the Chair. The motion was adopted.

Supervisor CLARK returned from a three days sojourn at the residence of his
son-in-law in Rockland County yesterday.

Long Island may easily be imagined. The directory contains also a list of
local organizations, churches, newspapers, etc., on Long Island that adds
very materially to its value.

from the Morgue or whereever an inquest may be held to the county burial 
ground, or to any other cemetery within the limits of the county.
The Lowest Bidders
were Michael ROCK, undertaker, of No. 248 Lorraine street, who bid for the 
Eastern and Western Districts, and Myles MCKEON, undertaker, of No. 325 Van 
Brunt street and NO. 484 Court street, who bid for the Western District only. 
  The bids are the lowest that have been ever received by the Board of 
Supervisors, and actually astonished the Committee. Mr. ROCK's bids were as 
follows:
For conveyance of the pauper sick ............70 cents
For conveyance of lunatics...........70 cents
For coffins and conveyance of bodies to Flatbush ....... 70 cents
For conveyance to the morgue ...... 50 cents
For conveyance from the morgue to the cemetery ... 70 cents
Total .... $3.30

Mr. MCKEON bid as follows:
For conveyance of sick ..... 75 cents
For conveyance of lunatics ......75 cents
For coffins and conveyance of bodies to Flatbush ... 75 cents
For conveyance to the morgue ...... 50 cents
For conveyance from the morgue to the cemetery ..... 50 cents
Total:  $3.50

Mr. WESSEMAN's bill for these different services footed up over $10 last year.
       A communication was received from Mr. Thomas GROGAN, of No. 127 
William street who went on Mr. ROCK's bond for $1,000, assuring the Committee 
that no amounts had been put in the bid when he went on the bond, and he did 
not know for what he became security.  At that time he believed that Mr. ROCK 
would be able to perform the contract.  He wished to be relieved of his 
responsibility now.  The Chairman referrred both bids to the sub-commottee, 
consisting of Supervisors EGOLF and CURRAN, to examine into the character of 
the sureties and report next Tuesday morning.  Mr. Edward MURNANE is surety 
for Mr. MCKEON.

JUSTICE TO MRS. KATIE GREY
Mrs. Katie GREY, of 318 Carroll street, whose name recently appeared in this 
paper on account of a disagreement with her aunt, Mrs. Agnes MARSHALL, was 
not sent to jail as reported, but was discharged, and is now engaged in 
taking care of her children, as a good mother should do.  She was referred to 
as a "naughty niece," but justice to Mrs. GREY compels the statement that she 
does not look at all naughty.

7 August 1877
A Sick Woman
Margaret RESCHLER, of No. 44 Hopkins street, took a walk on Saturday night 
for her health, having just recovered from a severe sickness.  She alleges 
that in Nostrand avenue, near Fulton, she was assaulted with intent to commit 
an outrage, by two laborers named Michael MCNAMARA, of President street, and 
Christopher McMAHON, of Nostrand avenue, near the Boulevard, both employed in 
the Nostrand stables.  Officer O'NEIL, of the Twelfth Precinct, has arrested the men.

A Policeman Worsted
Patrolman John J. REILLY in attempting last evening to arrest for drunkenness 
and disorderly conduct a "notorious character" named John ENNIS, residing at 
No. 368 Bond street, found more than his match in the prisoner, who breaking 
away ran into the house.  The officer followed, but claims that his passage 
was so impeded by a number of women, including the mother and sister of the 
fugitive, that ENNIS escaped.  He therefore returned to the stationhouse 
empty handed, having not even arrested a woman.

EASTERN DISTRICT-Reported Elopement of a Man with his Wife's Sister
Jacob KESTER, a butcher, doing business at the corner of Bogart and Rock 
streets, went away from home on Sunday morning, taking all the money in the 
house with him, his wife only obtaining 75 cents from him on asking to leave 
her money for necessary purposes.  It was thought strange that he did not 
return on Sunday night, and it is now reported he has eloped with his wife's 
sister, Henrietta SMITH, a buxom girl of sixteen.  Mrs. KESTER says that they 
had been married ten years, and he was a most affectionate husband, but 
noticed recently that he had a penchant for her sister's society, and that 
Henrietta within the past year has sported bracelets, rings and other jewelry 
beyond her means, Henrietta's explanation being that she received them as 
presents from a friend.  Mrs. KESTER seems nearly heartbroken, and has 
applied to Charity Commissioner RABER for relief.  Mrs. SMITH, her mother, 
resides in the neighborhood, and the family have been highly respected by 
their neighbors.

Narrow Escape of Excursionists
John BEUZMILLER, of 250 Johnson avenue, while driving a team to a wagon which 
contained twelve excursionists from College Point, last night, drove into 
open car No. 36, of the Grand street & Newtown Railroad, on Grand street, 
near Bushick avenue.  The whole wagon load of excursionists were dumped on 
top of the car load of passengers, principally children, but fortunately no 
one was seriously injured.  BEUZMILLER was arrested, and Justice GUCK 
adjourned the case.

Eastern Disrict-A Despondent Woman Tries to Drown Herself
Georgiana COOPER, who until recently resided at 23 Spring street, New York, 
jumped overboard from the ferryboat Commodore Perry, foot of Broadway, 
yesterday afternoon,  as usual in the case of a female attempting to drown 
herself, carefully divesting herself of her bonnet and shawl before jumping 
into the water.  Mr. A. BUTKER as carefully handed his watch and pocketbook 
to a deck hand and courageously jumped into the East River after the woman, 
rescuing her. She was taken to the Fifth Precinct Station house, and Justice 
ELLIOTT this morning discharged her, as she seemed to have repented of her 
action. She stated that at one time her husband was quite wealthy, but dying, 
left her four children, who she was unable to support, and allowed them to be 
sent West to be brought up.  After parting with her children she became 
despondent, and tried to commit suicide, but said the experience was not a 
pleasant one, and she would not repeat it.  She was nicely dressed, and 
appeared to be quite accomplished.

Eastern Disrict-The Head of the of the Rockaway Victim Trephined
Jacob FEDERLEIN who was shot by an unknown man on Rockaway Beach on Sunday 
night, had an operation performed upon him yesterday at St. Catharine's 
Hospital by Dr. S.J. BRADY, assisted by Drs. LOWENSTEIN, OTT, GROUX and 
HESSE.  His skull was trephined, but it was deemed inadvisable to remove the 
bullet, which was seen imbedded in the brain, for fear of lesion.  FEDERLEIN 
is in about the same condition today as he was previous to the operation.

A MURDEROUS FRAMER
He Makes a Bloody Onslaught on a Fellow Workman
Bystanders who had been attracted yesterday afternoon to Hudson' new building 
in Fulton street, near Bridge, by a war of words between two German framers 
named Geo. DROSER, of No. 745 Fulton street, and L. KREIBER, of No. 51 Hudson 
avenue, were treated to a horrible spectacle. The difficulty between the men 
was occasioned, according to the police version, by a dispute over the right 
to the possession of the plans for the framework, and finally became so 
serious as to result in DROSER attacking his opponent with a saw, and cutting 
his wrist, and arm proper in several places.  He then followed up the assault 
by endeavoring to strike his victim with an axe, but was prevented from 
carrying his murderous plans into execution by the bystanders, who held him 
until Officer BOYLAN came up and arrested him.  Dr. KANE dressed KREIBER's 
wounds, and DROSER being taken before Justice WALSH was committed to Jail 
until to-morrow, when he will be examined.

Murderous Assault
An Italian Vendor Struck with a Hammer - a Laborer's Fiendish Act
Patrick FLAHERTY, a laborer, of 76 Raymond street, helped himself unbidden to 
a  few peanuts from the fruit and nut stand of Anthony ERLANDO, as the corner 
of Myrtle avenue and Navy street  ERLANDO demanded payment, which being 
refused a quarrel took place, when, becoming enraged, FLAHERTY caught up a 
hammer from the stand a nand struck the Italian a terrible blow on the 
forehead, inflicting a very severe and, perhaps, fatal wound.  The injured 
man sank upon the pavement, nearly senseless, and FLAHERTY, almost at the 
same instant, was arrested by Officer OLSEN, who had been attracted to the 
spot by the angry voices of the disputants.  Officer BOONE then arriving 
procured assistance and took ERLANDO to the City Hospital, where he lay 
to-day in an exceedingly critical condition.  FLAHERTY was this morning 
committed to jail to await the result of the injuries inflicted.  The 
neighborhood where the affray took place is one of the worst in the city.

near Sumter street, at half past three o'clock this morning, he noticed 
flames in a two story frame house adjoining his, owned by ex-Assemblyman 
Adrian M. SUYDAM.  Knowing the house to be vacant he entered it, and 
discovered the fire to be contained to a closet on the first floor.  Having 
extinguished the flames, he notified the Twelfth Precinct Police, who, upon 
investigation, came to the conclusion that the fire must have been of 
incendiary origin.  The loss is $25; covered by a policy on the Kings County 
Insurance Company.

George ALFORDT, a young man, of South Brooklyn, while swimming off Engeman's 
Central Pavilion, at Coney Island, was seized with cramps.  He cried lustily 
for help, when immediately the crowd on the beach set up the cry of "a man 
drowning!  A man drowning!"  This cry reached the ears of Mssrs. O'CONNOR and 
SEMMITT, employes at the pavilion, who partially divested themselves of their 
clothing, ran to the water, jumped in, and in a few seconds were at the side 
of the drowning man as he was sinking for the third time.  The rescued man 
was taken to the pavilion and every care was bestowed on him.

Children Injured by Vehicles
Scarcely a day passes without one or more children being knocked down or run 
over in this city.  Yesterday, Martin H. MARCHARD, six years, of 483 Bedford 
avenue, was accidentally run over near his residence by a light buggy, driven 
by S.A. LEE, of No. 134 Rooney [?] street.  The only injuries sustained were

FAT MEN
Some of Them Make an Excursion to Norwalk
They Indulge in a Rhode Island Clambake -- How Fat Men Sing and Dance - Light 
Amusement for Heavy Men
The eleventh annual clambake of the Fat Men's Association, at the Dorlon 
House, Gregory's Point, Norwalk, Conn., yesterday, was a "huge" success.  The 
steamer Josephine carried the party from this city and New York.  Among the 
Brooklynites present were 
J.H. CLOUGH and wife, 
P. DORLON and wife, 
ex-Alderman A. DORLON and Mrs. DORLON, 
Mr. and Mrs. J.C. MORTIMER, 
Captain PERKINS, 
W.H. PEGG, 
L. POWELL, 
L. MCCLELLAN, 
R. ROSS, 
J.H. BALDWIN, 
D.S. SARLES, 
F. BLANKLEY, 
F.W. DORLON, M.D., 
S.B. CLARK.  
The following were the "heavy weights:" 
H.A. YUNK, 228 pounds, 
M. DOYLE, 224; 
M.C. ANDERSON, 219; 
Geo. SHEARS, 217; 
Clark BALCOM, 212;

Colonel Houston RUCKER, of Lynchburg, Va., 315; 
A. DORLON, 218; 
A. DOYLE, 206; 
N.C. THORPE, 201.
A landing was made at Jewelt's Dock at 9:45, and a few minutes later 
at the foot of Twenty-third street, New York, 
where Peter REID, weight 287 pounds, and many others were taken on board.  
The sail up the river and the Sound was delightful, and the scenes from time 
to time most amusing.  With two score of fat men on the forward deck a 
picture was made up that did not require any filling out. Peter REID and 
ex-Mayor Dudley S. GREGORY, of Jersey City, were the life of the party, and 
the manner in which the favorite songs of the Association "We'll Hunt the 
Buffalo",  "The Bear went Over the Mountain" and "Meet me by Moonlight Alone" 
were sung was irrestibily comical.

The End of Dissipation
A Drunken Woman Fatally Injured while Her Husband Lies Intoxicated within 
Ear-Shot
The frightful effects of undue indulgence in stimulants were demonstrated 
about six o'clock last evening in an accident that befell Mrs. Mary Ann 
COYLE, aged thirty, residing on the second floor of the rear tenement, No. 
216 York street.  The woman and her husband Patrick are dissipated, and 
yesterday afternoon drank in their squalid apartments until both were 
stupidly drunk.  A few minutes before the accident alluded to occurred, Mrs. 
Eliza HOGAN residing on the first floor, noticed the woman swaying to and fro 
in the window, and fearing that she might fall out, called to her to be 
careful.  Mrs. COYLE seemed to comprehend the warning and drew back but 
within five minutes reappeared at the window, and leaning out lost her 
balance and fell headlong to the stone payment of an alleyway, sustaining 
injuries of the brain that the physicians of the City Hospital, whither she 
was removed in an ambulance, apprehend may terminate fatally.  There being a 
report among the neighbors that COYLE and the woman had been quarreling a 
sort time previous to the accident, Officer RYAN, suspecting that the woman 
might have been pushed out of the window, visited the room where the husband 
was, and found him lying on the bed sleeping off the effect of his potations. 
 COYLE was arrested on a charge of intoxication merely, being evidently too 
drunk to commit an assault on his wife.

The Otton-Richardz Case
Justice Walsh Holds Richardz for the Grand Jury
On the 26th of last June, the wife of Alfred OTTON called at the residence of 
a widower named Frederick Richardz, at No. 328 Hudson avenue.  She was 
godmother to Richardz' motherless child.  The husband, however, took 
exception to her calling at the house and a fight took place between him and 
Richardz, in which the latter it is alleged fired at him with a pistol, the 
ball grazing his side, while Richardsz was beaten and claims to have been 
slightly cut with a knife.  The case in the shape of counter charges of 
felonious assault has since been in Justice Walsh's Court.  This morning 
OTTON was declared not guilty and discharged, while RICHARDZ was held for the 
Grand Jury.

STRUCK WITH A BOTTLE
Probable Homicide in a Dean Street Saloon - Arrest of the Alleged Assailant
A sanguinary and, perhaps, fatal quarrel occurred at eleven o'clock last 
night in John Maguire's barroom, corner of Dean street and Vanderbilt avenue, 
between two laborers named Michael MCDONNELL and John EAGAN.  A fight was the 
result, and in it EAGAN was struck on the head with a weiss beer bottle.  
Officers BANNON and EVANS promptly arrested the alleged assailant, MCDONNELL, 
who is thirty nine years of age and resides at 591 Vanderbilt avenue; while 
EAGAN after having a terrible wound on his head dressed by Police Surgeon 
FERRY, was removed to his residence, 280 St. Mark's avenue.  EAGAN's injuries 
were considered very dangerous.  The prisoner was this morning committed to 
jail by Justice BLOOM.

25 August 1877
An Actor's Marital Infelicities
A Brooklyn Man Marries Two Wives, Deserts them both, and Runs away with a 
Widow - the Two Deceived Wives Meet
George M. KIRK, an actor and stage manager of some local renown in Brooklyn, 
has achieved a reputation, recently, as the husband of two wives and the base 
deserter of both.  KIRK is twenty eight years old and was born in Brooklyn.  
His father is a minister, and is also engaged in the printing business at the 
corner of Fulton and Nassau streets, in New York City.  George served his 
time as an apprentice at the printing business with his father, for whom he 
continued to work until within the past six years.  Early in life, he 
developed a taste for the stage, and finally, despite the opposition of his 
father, became an actor.  On April 13, 1870, he married Miss Carrie L. 
ISAACS, whose father, then a prominent builder, resided at Classon and Lexing 
avenues, Brooklyn. During the first three years of their married life, he 
deserted his wife three times for short periods, and returned again, each 
time expressing regret for his conduct and promising to reform.  Finally, on 
July 13, 1873, he left home for good, after having pawned his wife's watch 
and chain, silver spoons and wearing apparel and selling all their household 
goods, having first gained possession of them by inducing his wife to consent 
to the goods being stored, under the pretense of breaking up housekeeping to 
go boarding.  He also left her with their child, then nearly two years old, 
to provide for.  The deserted wife, however, with true womanly courage, 
opened a school in Skillman street, Brooklyn, where she succeeded in 
providing for the wants of herself and her little one.
Nothing was known or heard of the whereabouts or movements of her husband 
until he had been absent about eleven months.  Then it was ascertained that 
he had become a professional actor, and was stopping at Bement, Ill., under 
the name of George W. BEEBE.  It was also learned that he had married Miss 
Kate A. ALLEN the sister of John ALLEN, manager of the Adelphi Theatre in 
Chicago, his second marriage having been consummated on the 11th of June, 
1874.  Miss ALLEN, who was then twenty years old, was traveling with Ed. 
WHITE's Comedy Company, of which her sister-in-law was a member, and was 
playing juvenile parts.  KIRK led her to believe that he was a widower.  
Shortly after his marriage he acquired an interest in a traveling company, 
with which he traveled with his wife for a short time, but finally deserted 
her at Havana, Mason County, Ill., under the plea that he was going to some 
other place to get some printing done.  The second deserted wife waited some 
time for her husband's return, and finally becoming tired of waiting, 
borrowed a small sum of money from a friend and sought refuge in her mother's 
home in Chicago.

After deserting his second wife BEEBE resumed his real name once more, and in 
November last appeared at he Theatre Comique, in the Eastern District of 
Brooklyn, as the successor of the former stage manager.  He endeavored to 
induce his first wife to again share a home with him, and she finally 
promised to live with him once more if he could provide suitable 
accommodations for herself and their child.  He failed to do so, however, and 
the desired reunion was not effected.  Meantime, through a letter addressed 
to the New York Clipper, his second wife discovered his whereabouts, opened a 
correspondence with him and finally accepted an invitation to join him, and 
commenced an engagement at the Comique in April last.  On January 27 last, 
his first wife, having ascertained that he had married another woman during 
his absence from her, caused him to be arrested and he was placed under bonds 
by Justice RILEY to pay $4 per week for the support of his child.  His father 
became his bondsman, and has ever since paid the weekly installments.
About two weeks ago he made an engagement for himself, wife and child to go 
to the West Indies with Miss Effie St. JOHN's company for thirty-six weeks, 
at $58 per week.  He drew $20 in advance from the agents for the purpose, as 
he said of getting his wife and trunks on board the vessel.  He then left 
home and his second wife (Mrs. BEEBE) has not seen him since. It was finally 
learned that the vessel sailed last Friday with Kirk on board, and that a 
widow, who formerly resided in the Eastern District of Brooklyn, had 
accompanied him.  This woman had three children, two of whom she abandoned, 
taking the third with her probably to fill the contract for the engagement of 
"KIRK, wife, and child."  KIRK's second wife, it is said, is not only in 
destitute circumstances, but is also about to become a mother.  The two 
injured women met for the first time yesterday afternoon, and are said to 
have in contemplation the future prosecution of the scoundrel who has 
betrayed them, should he ever return from his present engagement in the West Indies. 

The Kings County Commissioner of Charities have been applied to for the means 
to procure a ticket to convey Mrs. BEEBE to Cincinnati, where, it is said, 
her mother resides, with whom she can find a home.  It is also said that if 
the Commissioners refuse to grant the relief asked for, the money will be 
furnished by a few philanthropic persons who have become interested in the 
case. -- NY Times.

Accident while Moving a Piano
Robert BERLINER, aged twenty-seven, while assisting some workmen, yesterday 
afternoon, to carry a piano up the stoop of his residence, No. 179 High 
street, had his right ankle broken by the instrument falling on him.  
Ambulance Surgeon MURDOUGH removed him to the L.I. College Hospital.  The 
piano was badly broken by the fall. 

Brooklyn's Champion Swimmer
Mr. G.H. WADE, of this city, who has defeated all the swimming experrs with 
whom he has contested this season, has challenged A. TRAUTZ to a race of five 
miles off Long Branch, any time before the 15th of September, promising to 
give TRAUTZ half a mile the start.

It will be warm to-night.  Persons who desire to keep cool and at the same 
time listen to good music, excellently rendered, would better go to the

and Hudson street.
Between half-past seven and eight o'clock this morning excitment ran high on 
the west side of the town, from Forty second Street Fery down to Abingdon square, 
New York, caused by the antics of a mad bullock.  Shortly after seven o'clock a herd 
of cattle were standing at the Forty second Street Ferry awaiting transportation to 
Weehawken, and among the lot was one ferocious beast, which suddenly bounded out of 
the ranks and started on a run up Forty-second street toward Ninth avenue.  
On reaching that thoroughfare he turned sharply around and ran down the avenue.  
By this time there were between two and three hundred men, women and children 
following in his train, shouting and throwing at him every portable article 
that came to their hands. People in the street cars going up and down the avenue 
were greatly excited. The passengers in one of the Bleecker street cars narrowly
escaped injury, the steer coming within an ace of jumping over the back platform. 
On reaching the juncti!
on of Ninth avenue and Hudson street, at Fourteenth street, the beast turned around, 
and after viewing the situation, started down Hudston street. At Abingdon Square 
he was headed off by a number of policemen of the Ninth Precinct, headed by 
Capital KENNEDY, who slayed him on the spot.  On Hudson street, near Twelfth,
a young man, whose name is unknown, was lifted gently on the animal's horns, 
and thrown several feet, but escaped serious injury.  It is considered fortunate 
that there were no lives lost, as the streets through which the bull ran were 
filled with women and children.

27 August 1877
Assaulting Policemen
The Fourth Precinct seems to be infected with a class of disorderly persons who 
make it a point to place themselves as frequently as possible in collision with 
the police, such as the Jackson Hollow gang, while there are others who, upon
finding themselves in the hands of the law think that it is only meet for them 
to at once commit an outrageous assalt upon the officer who has them in custody.  
A man who appears to belong to the latter class is Edward MURPHY, aged twenty-nine, 
laborer, of No. __ Raymond street, who, according to Sergeant KELLY, upon being 
arrested yesteday afternoon by Officer KILLIAN for drunknenness and disorderly 
conduct, turned on the latter, struck him with his fists, kicked him, and tore 
his blouse.  KILLIAN's club probably squared complaints, and MURPHY was lodged 
at the station house.

and was arrested by Sergeant BUCKHOLZ of the Twelfth Precinct who happened to 
be on the avenue.  This morning MASON told Justice GUCK that the officer was 
only jealous of him, and asked the Justice to instruct the police not to 
interfere with reputable citizens.  He was fined $3.

All About a Girl
Charles DUFFY, of 47 South Third street, the father of eleven children, and 
Pat MCNAMARA, got into a fight about a girl last evening, at the corner of 
Broadway and Dunham place, and were arrested by Officer QUINN.  This morning, 
DUFFY charged MCNAMARA with stabbing him, but the latter said he only hit him 
in the face with a sharp piece of brick, when DUFFY chewed his ear, which 
bore marks of having been hurt.  The case was adjourned by Justice ELLIOTT.

Spoiling a Romance
Mr. Theodore KARPF, a shoemaker who works at 55 Lorimer street and resides at 
165 Boerum street, says that the story told by John KOHLEPP, the consumptive, 
who had blood transfused into him by Dr. STAHLS, is all a romance, so far as 
the mysterious murder of a Bavarian Baron was concerned.  Mr. KARPF says he 
is a native of Holzkirschen, where KOHLEPP was brought up, and knew him there 
as a shoemaker and at Kissengen as a nurse, and knew that KOHLEPP was not of 
the class who associate with barons as their seconds to duels.

Another Kerosene Victim
Dora MEYER, fifty-two years of age, of 265 Powers street, last night, as she

favor, but Justice GUCK fined him $5.

husband Louis, twenty two years of age, locked up last night for beating her, 
and this morning, when he left Justice GUCK's court, bound over to keep the peace, 
he found she had moved all the furniture and he had no home.  Her story was that 
her husband, who is a milkman, came home late last night, and she being asleep, 
did not let him in, whereupon he kicked in the door, and as she came from the 
bedroom to meet him, in order to deceive the neighbors he said soothingly, 
"My dear, I am sorry to have disturbed you, but I was kept out about business," 
at the same time waltzing her into a corner of the room, and beating her until

wrenched from each vehicle, but the occupants escaped injury. Mr. DEMING's

HAVILAND,  a seven-year old urchin of No. 338 Van Brunt street, managed to
precipitate himself before it. Over the boy the wagon went with a bound. A
woman fainted, and three or four children almost screamed themselves into

THE  SEARCH FOR MR. BRYAN
A Brother leaves this City in Quest of him -What the Police Say
There are still no tidings of Mr. BRYAN, who disappeared from an Ohio
steamer while seemingly insane. His brother today left Brooklyn for
Cincinnati, in the hope of getting some clue that will lead to his
discovery, dead or alive. Inspector WADDY explains the seeming tardiness of
the family here in personally taking up the search on the ground that the
brother who went West to-day is no more than a boy and yet, at the same
time, the head of the family, and that, as the Cincinnati police are at work
on the case, it was hoped all along that a trip West might be obviated by
the finding of the missing man.

MISS REEVE'S WRONGS
The Story as Told in Greenport - Drugged in a Restaurant - An Outrage that
Has Awakened Indignation
The New York Sun, this morning gives the following account of the case in
which Dr. MEYER is charged with malpractice:
Quiet little Greenport, Long Island, the home of Miss REEVE, the victim of
the recent malpractice in this city, is in a state of indignation.  Mr.
Isaac REEVE, Jr., the father, is an old and highly respected inhabitant of
the  place, the proprietor of a large coal yard, and principal owner of the
steam ferry boat, the Cambria, running between Greenport and Shelter Island.
The daughter was born in the village, and has always been respected there.
The story as briefly told in Greenport is as follows:
Miss REEVE, who is only eighteen years old, formed in school three or four
years age, the acquaintance of a girl named Jenny FORSYTH.  They became
intimate, and Miss FORSYTH visited Miss REEVE at the home of her parents in
Greenport.  In May last, Miss REEVE came to pay a visit to friends in New
York, and while here again met Miss FORSYTH.  They frequently went out to
walk together.  One afternoon they met Miss Hattie HUME.  The trio were
joined by two men, and all went to Solaris' restaurant for luncheon.  There
another man was introduced to Miss REEVE.  He called for wine and urged her
to drink, but she rejected it,  and called for a lemonade which was given to
her, and , although she thought it had a particularly dark color and
singular flavor, she said nothing.  She was soon persuaded to drink a glass
of wine, and after that she became unconscious, and while unconscious she
was taken to a house in Thirty-fifth street, and there, before she recovered
her senses, the outrage was committed.
The girl dared not tell the truth. She withheld it until she could no longer
keep her secret.  Then she consulted the woman who betrayed her and a
friend, Mrs. PETTY, but did not admit her parents to her confidence.  The
girls planned with her, and one afternoon she told her mother she was going
out to visit a friend, but would soon return, and putting on her hat and
shawl she walked out, but did not return.  She left a note informing her
parents she had gone to New York to look for a  situation, but that they
must not worry, for she was perfectly safe, and that if she did not get a
place within two weeks she would return home.
Thoroughly frightened, Mrs. REEVE at once sent for her husband, and together
they came to New York by the first train to look for their daughter.  They
went direct to the house of a relative who is familiar with the ways of the
city, and who promptly offered to join with them in the search.  Detectives
were engaged, and a clue was worked quietly until the girl was found at 348
Second avenue.  For a time her life was despaired of, but now, assured of
her father's sympathy and forgiveness, and with his loving care and presence
to sustain her, she is improving.

Police Captain Louis WORTH, of the Sixth Precinct, has started on his summer
vacation, to be gone a week, visiting Saratoga, Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

Island College Hospital, where she now lies suffering from concussion of the brain.

result of an attempt to commit suicide by shooting himself at the residence

the matter yesterday and on making inquiries it was ascertained that young
BILL had been out of employment for some time, and that he had been
previously unfortunate in his business enterprises.  This, together with
grief caused by the death of his father and mother during the past year, led
to a great depression of mind, and while in this condition on Saturday last
the young man made an attempt on his own life.  He now regrets his action,
but his injuries are of such a nature that it is though he will not recover.

At nine o'clock Saturday night a young man entered the Fourth Precinct
Station-house and informed Sergeant CORR that he desired to surrender

ALL ABOUT A STEW
Oysters That Did Not Have Enough Butter With Them
What Came of a Request for More Butter - Deadly Sunday Morning Affray in a
Saloon - Stabbed with a Knife and Bitten by a Dog - Alleged Bad Record of
Assailant
The oyster saloon of Adam CHRISTMAN, No. 416 Broadway, E.D.. was the scene
of a brutal affray at a few minutes after one0'clock yesterday morning.  It
appears that two employees of SCHULZ' bakery, one of them John GRAHAM, the
brother-in-law of the foreman of the bakery, and a resident of 53 Harrison
avenue, visited the saloon and ordered stews.  CHRISTMAN, the proprietor,
was behind the counter, and under his direction the oysters were in a short
time placed before the visitors.  GRAHAM, thinking that the amount of butter
in his stew was insufficient, added to it the piece that the waiter had
provided for the crackers, and then called for more.  CHRISTMAN, however,
OBJECTED TO FURNISHING MORE BUTTER
and on GRAHAM expostulating with him positively refusal to accede to the
latter's demand.  "Well," exclaimed GRAHAM, "if I can't have more butter I
won't take the stew," and suiting the action to the words angrily dashed his
oyster dish down upon the counter.  The dish broke into fragments, and its
contents spattered in very direction.
The proprietor, CHRISTMAN, is an excitable, quarrelsome German, and it
scarcely required the breaking of his crockery to arouse his passionate
nature to a dangerous degree.  Catching up a long oyster knife he struck
GRAHAM two powerful blows on the head with it, at the same time hitting his
victim with his left fist, while a black spitz do belonging  on the premises
fastened its teeth first in the left and then in the right leg of GRAHAM.
Then GRAHAM was PERMITTED TO CRAWL OUT of the saloon, and with the assistance 
of his friend reached his home where Dr. SMITH attended to him.
A citizen of No. 468 Broadway, NAMED John GRADY, heard of the affray and
carried his information tot he Thirteenth Precinct Stationhouse.
Sergeant-in-command BARWICK at once placed Sergeant LEAVEY, Roundsman
CORNELL and the reserve force on the case, and CHRISTMAN was found, secreted
in a closet in his house, and arrested.  He gave his age as fifty.
At first it was thought that GRAHAM, who is only twenty-five years of age,
was not dangerously injured, but this morning his condition was reported to
be so critical that Police Surgeon MURPHY was directed to give him a careful
examination.
Acting Captain BARWICK says, that while from all accounts GRAHAM is a
hard-working and law-abiding man, the prisoner CHRISTMAN, on the other hand,
bears a bad reputation.  Fifteen years ago, according to BARWICK, CHRISTMAN
shot a peddler, but no complaint was ever made and the case was hushed up.
The peddler is now dead.  CHRISTMAN next served four years for committing
mayhem, having bitten a man in the nose, and was subsequently arrested in
connection with a clubbing case.
The prisoner was this morning committed to jail for examination.

Greenpoint-NUPTIAL CEREMONY
Marriage of Mr. Harry Bartling and Miss Lucy A. Pitman at the Church of
the Holy Trinity 
At half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon the interior of the Church
of the Holy Trinity, corner of Montague and Clinton streets, was
brilliantly illuminated, and a large and fashionable assemblage occupied
the richly cushioned pews to witness the marriage ceremony between Mr.
Harry BARTLING and Miss Lucy A. PITMAN, of this city.  Prior to the
arrival of the bridal party, Mr. Dudley BUCK, the organist of the
church, entertained the audience by selections from the great composers.
Captain Thomas E. STEVENS, of the Twenty-third Regiment, and Messrs. J.
B. BAUSH, S. IBBOTSON, Willis VAN WINKLE, and Albert VAN WINKLE acted as
ushers, and performed their duties satisfactorily.  They were in full
dress and had charge of the aisles and the seating of the guests.
Shortly after the hour named the bridal party arrived, and proceeded
without delay, but with measured step, up the main aisle to the chancel
rail, where they were met by Rev. T. E. PRCOTT, rector of St. John's
Episcopal Church, who was to perform the nuptial ceremony.  The bride
was dressed in a plum colored, close fitting silk traveling dress, with
hat of rich but not gaudy materials.  The groom wore the conventional
dress suit.  There were no bridesmaids or "best men."  Both groom and
bride are young.  Among those who occupied the prominent seats near the
chancel were the three Misses BARTLING, sisters of the groom; Mr. VAN
WINKLE, uncle of the bride; Mr. Thomas B. PITMAN, uncle of the bride;
Miss Susie MACLAY, daughter of Hon. Moses  B. MACLAY, of New York; Mrs.
J. R. BLAUVELT; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas HOYNE of Chicago; Mrs. James M.
PITMAN, sister-in-law of the bride; Mrs. COZZENS, of Yonkers; Miss
Kittie SPENCER, of Yonkers; Miss Lucy DOOLITTLE;  wife and sister of
Major SMITH, of the Seventh Regiment; Duncan MCKENZIE, of the National
Steamship LINE; Mrs. B. COFFIN, Miss Angie COFFIN and Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph LEMDELL. 
A busy hum of voices, at low breath, was heard as the bridal party
proceeded down the aisle.  This hushed, the interesting ceremony was
performed, and Harry and Lucy were declared man and wife.  Mr. Thomas B.
PITMAN, uncle, gave away the bride.  The happy couple then left the
church as they came, systematically and quietly, while the organ pealed
forth Mendelssohn's enchanting "Wedding March."  The newly-married
couple forthwith proceeded on their bridal tour to Washington,
Baltimore, Saratoga, Niagara, etc.  Their wedding reception will be
given "At Home" Wednesdays, October 10 and 17, at No. 855 Lincoln place.
The groom is in the wholesale fruit trade in New York, and the bride is
the daughter of the late Wm. E. PITMAN.

while it is true that the Act of 1856 is repealed, from September 1, yet

22 September 1877
VERY STRANGE--A HUSBAND'S GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST A LETTER CARRIER 
He Causes the Latter's Arrest, but does not have him Locked Up -
Singular Statement of the Accused - He Declares he was Deprived of his
Mail at the Muzzle of a Revolver 
Jacob M. BLAKELY, employed as a watchman at Engeman's Hotel, Coney
Island, visited his residence, No. 333 Seventeenth street, yesterday
afternoon, and finding a letter-carrier named George R. TILLOTSON, of
No. 216 Seventh street connected with Van Brunt Station, in a room with
his wife, caused his arrest by Officer WHELAN, of the Eighth Precinct,
on a charge of disorderly conduct.  At the station-house to which the
accused was taken, BLAKELY refused to press charges saying, according to
the police, that "he was satisfied with TILLOTSON'S confession."  There
being no grounds upon which the prisoner could be held, the Sergeant in
command thereupon discharged him. 
All this happened about one P. M.  Three hours later, Mrs. BVLAKELY was
reported to the police to have 
SWALLOWED OXALIC ACID 
with suicidal intent.  Dr. Everett HASBROUCK, of No. 253 Thirteenth
street, was at once summoned, and by means of antidotes and stomach pump
saved the woman's life. 
A UNION-ARGUS reporter this morning interrogated Assistant Postmaster
BROWN respecting the case.  Mr. BROWN said that he had questioned
TILLOTSON as to the circumstances of the arrest and obtained from him a
statement to the following effect: 
Mr. BLAKELY has for some time been receiving the newspaper directed to
an address other than that at which he at present resides, and the post
office has been obliged to rectify the error.  Last Saturday TILLOTSON
was off duty, and a substitute worked his route, the result being that
the paper in question went to the wrong house.  This mistake TILLOTSON
was not made aware of until yesterday.  Deeming some explanation due Mr.
BLAKELY, he says he called at the residence and  
WAS RECEIVED BY MRS. BLAKELY 
to whom he stated the case. He had his hat off believing himself in the
presence of a lady, and says that as he was turning to leave, Mrs.
BLAKELY remarked: "What's your hurry."  His reply was "I have to get
through with my route."  Then Mrs. BLAKELY said: "Don't be in a hurry,"
and as he started to go placed one hand on his shoulder and gave him a
push that caused him to lose his balance, stagger and sit down on one
corner of the bed.  Just at that moment, who seemed to TILLOTSON to have
been waiting in a back room, rushed in upon them, and presenting a
revolver at TILLOTSON's head, compelled him to surrender his mail bag
and cap, which, however, he subsequently restored to him in the
station-house. 
Mr. BROWN said that as no complaint had been made to him against
TILLOTSON, and as TILLOTSON IS A MARRIED MAN 
and bears an excellent record in the Department he had not suspended
him, especially as only a few months ago on a trumped charge of assault,
a letter-carrier had been compelled to lie three months in Raymond
street jail before he could prove his innocence.  The Department meant
however to give the case a through examination, especially as the
BLAKELY's , who were well-known in the office, were considered very
respectable people.  One thing was certain, however, no one has
authority to deprive a letter-carrier of his mail in the manner
described, and the case had been laid before Special Agent B. K.
SHARRETTS, of New York, for action.  The penalty for interfering with
the U. S. mail, Mr. BROWN said, was from $100 to $1,000 fine, and from
one to five year's imprisonment.  It was intended to show no leniency if
TILLOTSON were found guilty, but the Department could not without even a
complaint prejudge the case.

24 September 1877

THE BLAKELY-TILLOTSON CASE

J. W. BLAKELY's residence, No. 333 Seventeenth street, yesterday
afternoon handed in his resignation as a letter-carrier to Postmaster
TALBOT.  The resignation was accepted, and this morning Thomas CAMPBELL,
a substitute, was promoted to the vacancy thus created, but being a
first year's man, will receive only $675 less 5 per cent, instead of
$875 less 5 percent, received by TILLOTSON, who by several year's
service had advanced himself to the highest grade.  The 5 per cent
referred to relates a recent order reducing the pay of letter-carriers.

death, and then caused her removal to the Long Island College Hospital, while 
Kate was arrested by Officer McCORMICK, of the Eighth Precinct.

3 October 1877
Pardoned by the Governor
Edward McKROTT, who was convicted under the name of Edward MARZOTT in the 
Court of Sessions last February for the crime of grand larceny; and sentenced 
to the Penitentiary for one year, was pardoned by Governor ROBINSON 
yesterday.  The action of the governor was based on a recommendation of Judge 
MOORE, invoking executive clemency in the prisoner's behalf, and also on 
account of a similar letter from District Attorney BRITTON.  McKROTT was 
drunk at the time of the commission of the crime for which he was convicted.  
He had previously borne an excellent character.  Counselor Hugo HIRSH was 
instrumental in procuring the pardon.
      Richard TRAUX, a young man who was sentenced to fifteen months in the 
Penitentiary for embezzlement, was also pardoned yesterday by Governor 
ROBINSON.  About the time of his conviction he was a witness in a divorce 
suit in which his father was plaintiff and his step mother the defendant.

Elopement Of A Brooklyn Girl
A Troy Young Man the Deceiver- Issuance of a Warrant for His Arrest on the 
Charge of Abduction
Mr. Gardner S. CUTTING, who formerly practiced law in this city, at 209 
Montague Street, has, it is said, experienced a family trouble in the 
elopement of his eldest daughter, with a young man named Frederick SHELDON, 
of Troy.  The following alleged facts are given in the Albany Express with 
regard to the elopement.
      Mr. G. S. CUTTING, a lawyer of Brooklyn, has had his temporary residence 
at West Waterford during the past summer.  On Saturday morning he came to Albany 
for the purpose of transacting some business matters, and on his return found 
that his oldest daughter, Harriet, was missing.  Search was made for the 
young lady without success, and finally investigation revealed the fact that 
all her personal effects had disappeared with her.  It was subsequently 
ascertained that the girl had eloped with a young man of Troy named Frederick 
SHELDON.  Though this young man is most respectably connected, it is 
understood that his ways for several years have been rather "crooked" and not 
directed in the right way.  Every encouragement has been offered for his 
reform, but all efforts have invariably proved futile.  Mr. CUTTING proceeded 
to Troy and had a warrant issued for the arrest of Sheldon on the 
                  CHARGE OF ABDUCTION
but his whereabouts could not be discovered.  Anticipating trouble, say last 
evenings Troy Times, he fled like a coward, leaving the girl behind him.  The 
young lady was found, and the mother had an exceedingly touching interview 
with the erring one, but was unable to prevail upon her to return home.  The 
people at whole house she had been concealed would not allow her removed, and 
at last, almost broken-hearted, the parents returned to Waterford.  Yesterday 
morning Mr. SHELDON, Sr., swore out warrants against all the parties in the 
case, and if the girl is not returned to her home to-day, legal proceedings 
will be immediately commenced against them.  

5 October 1877
Fooling With A Pistol
Albert ROSCOVER who was accidentally shot in the mouth a few days ago by Wm. 
TOBIN, of No. 179 Willoughby Street, employed as a clerk in a Myrtle Avenue

on a charge of reckless shooting.  The injured youth seemed very ill.

8 October 1877
"South Brooklyn Gossip"
     South Brooklyn Gossip is the name of a bright little weekly, which made 
a first appearance in this city on Saturday, and created such a thirst for 
information that a large edition was exhausted before night.  The Gossip 
proposes to devote itself to South Brooklyn "matters and Interests" and 
"light and entertaining literature."  The first number fills the bill, and if 
subsequent issues are equally attractive and free from offensive allusion, 
the success of the paper is assured.  Mr. Theodore TUSCH, its editor and 
proprietor, is well and favorably known in journalistic circles here, whose 
pens are constantly employed in this city and New York.

drown herself in consequence of the unfatherly conduct of her stepfather, 
John NELSON, who owns a nursery at Ridgewood, Queens County, but afterwards 
at the Fifth Precinct Station declared that she had been outraged and 
assaulted by John CARY and John MULVEY at a picnic last summer, and that she 
could not live under the imputations cast upon her and had determined to die. 
 Justice ELLIOTT held her as a disorderly person to await further developments.

A RUNAWAY CHILD HEARD FROM
     Anna MADDIGAN, a child, disappeared sometime ago from the residence of 
her parents, No. 42 Bergart Street, E.D.  Within a few days a letter has been 
received by the authorities from J.E. FINCH, of Acron, Erie County, N.Y. , 
stating that the child was living at the home of Michael FINCH of that place 
and that she told the writer that she had run away from home on account of 
ill-treatment, and would rather die than return.  Captain WORTH, of the Sixth 
Precinct, was directed by Superintendent CAMPBELL to investigate the case.  
The Captain made a report today, in which he stated that the MADDIGAN'S had 
moved to No. 1252 Myrtle Avenue, but that their old neighbors rather 
confirmed the child's statements.  Mrs. MADDIGAN subsequently called at 
Police Headquarters, expressed great love for her child, said that the 
neighbors were actuated by malice because she would not associate with them 
in making statements alluded to, and besought the Superintendent to assist 
her to recover her child. A letter embodying the mother's request was 
accordingly written by the Superintendent's Clerk, Mr. JENKINS, and forwarded to Acron.

exception of two men, who were only slightly behind their comrades, all were 
found fully up to the standard of requirements.  This morning, without any 
previous notice he examined them again, and found fully one-half below the 
standard.  After this it may be presumed that the "branding process" will be 
general.  It will then be impossible for an officer to borrow another one's 
coat or pantaloons to enable the wearer to pass inspection.

What Became of Mrs. Kate McCORMICK.
A Woman Adjudged Insane who was Sent to the Flatbush Insane Asylum - No 
Record of Her at that Institution - What the Driver of the Charities Wagon 
Does not Know
Mrs. Kate McCORMICK, fifty years of age, came into the Fifth Precinct 
Stationhouse on the evening of the 8th inst.  Sergeant FIELDING was in charge 
of the desk, and as she was incoherent and evidently insane, she was detained 
until the next morning when Justice ELLIOTT ordered an examination. Dr. 
Joseph CREAMER adjudged her to be insane and she was taken from the station 
in the wagon of the Charities Commissioners.  Mrs. Mary KENNEDY, who keeps a 
newsstand on Greenpoint Avenue, near the Seventh  Precinct Station, reported 
this morning that she had been to the Flatbush Insane Asylum to see Mrs. 
McCORMICK and no record of her having been received was to be found.  Mrs. 
KENNEDY also said she had seen the driver who received the insane woman from 
the station and he declared he knew nothing about it, and was so much mixed 
in relation to the affair that she thought it her duty to report the facts to 
the police.  A description of the missing woman has been sent to the proper 
authorities, and now the question is being asked: "What has become of her?"  
A relative of Mrs. McCORMICK declares that she has been killed and her body 
sold for dissecting purposes.

MARRIED IN FUN
THE RESULT OF A SUMMER TOUR TO THE CATSKILLS
An Evening Party at a Farmer's House - An Eastern District Belle the Victim 
of a Practical Joke - Legal Proceedings Probable.
AURY SNEDEKER is one of the assistant clerks in the City Court.  He is a 
gentleman of fifty-two years of age, and balance the beam at 285 pounds.  As 
a public officer he is prompt, obliging and efficient.  He can be found at 
any time at his desk in the court room, whether Court is in session or not.
     While Mr. SNEDEKER was at his desk, and no one was present in the 
court-room beside himself and a Union -Argus reporter, a lady apparently 
about forty-five years of age, very richly attired in a black corded silk 
dress, and wearing costly jewelry, entered the apartment, walked slowly and 
cautiously up to Mr. SNEDEKER'S desk and said:
"Sir, I am looking for one of the Judges or an officer of this court to get 
some advice in relation to a marriage in which my step-daughter CLARA 
MANNING, seventeen years of age, was made the victim of a practical joke."
     With this little preparatory speech, the lady produced
                         A ROLL OF PARCHMENT
which she handed to Mr. SNEDEKER.  The latter unrolled the document, when was 
disclosed an elegant gold-bordered, recently made marriage certificate, 
setting forth that HENRY BRUNDAGE, aged twenty-seven, and CLARA MANNING, aged 
seventeen, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, on the 25th of August, 
1877, at Unionville, New York, and signed by J.H. PHILLIPS, minister of the 
gospel.
     The lady then continued her remarks as follows: "You see, sir, that 
CLARA left her home at the corner of Lorimer and Jackson Streets, E.D., last 
July, to spend a season with her relatives in Unionville.  She was invited to 
a party at Mr. BRUNDAGE'S house, where there was an assemblage of ladies and 
gentleman.  During the evening it was proposed to have a mock marriage 
between Mr. BRUNDAGE and my daughter.  The company indorsed the suggestion.  
The couple assembled in the parlor of the farm house; MR. BRUNDAGE and CLARA 
joined hands, whereupon a gentleman representing a minister came forward and 
in a half solemn manner went through the marriage ceremony, and pronounced 
the couple man and wife.  Immediately after the party ended Mr. BRUNDAGE 
insisted that CLARA was his legal, lawful wife.  CLARA resisted the claim and 
said she was only   MARRIED IN JEST.
Mr.BRUNDAGE replied that there was no jest about it, the gentleman that 
married them was a veritable minister of the Methodist Church at Unionville.  
The young lady was mortified at this dilemma, and declared she was not  
BRUNDAGE'S wife, and as soon as possible returned to her home in this city 
bringing with her the certificate above described."
     When the lady concluded her story Mr. SNEDEKER said, "Well, madame, so 
far as I can judge this is a legal certificate."
     "Oh my!  Do you think so?" replied the lady.  "It cannot be possible 
that CLARA must live with that   LONG, LEAN, GAWKY FARMER.
Why, he is six feet two inches in height, with horny hands, and knows nothing 
but about pigs, cows, and milking, while CLARA is of petite figure, refined 
in manners, and fragile as a delicate flower."
     The lady exhibited no inconsiderable emotion while she was relating her 
story. At its conclusion Mr. SNEDEKER asked whether the MR. BRUNDAGE was a man 
of means.
     Mrs. DAVID MANNING, for that was the lady's name, replied, "O yes, sir; 
he has a large farm and is heir to considerable property."
     Mr. SNEDEKER then said, "If that is the case, take my advice, let your 
daughter go to her husband, and she will be better off than if she married a 
city swell who carries his fortune on his back."
     With this the conference ended, MRS. MANNING saying that she would 
invoke the law to annul the marriage on the ground of fraud.

BRIDGE  BUILDING      BKLYN BRIDGE
ONE OF THE WIREWORKERS HAS HIS HAND BADLY CRUSHED WITH A DRUM-BUILDING
RAILING AROUND THE POWERS.
     One of the workmen named John YOUNG, employed on the top of the
Brooklyn anchorage, met with a severe accident on Saturday by having several
of the bones on the back of his hand crushed.  He was stationed at one of
the large drums attending to the drumming up of the wire for the cables and
was in the act of stopping the drum when he let his hand get down too low
and it was caught between the edge of the drum and the brace of the frame
which supports the drum.
THE DRUM WAS QUICKLY STOPPED
and with the assistance of the other workmen the poor fellow's hand was
extricated.  He was sent home and a surgeon called in, who stated the he
thought YOUNG would recover the use of his hand though it might be several
weeks. In the mean time his wages will go on.
     The Bridge carpenters have just completed the erection of a railing on
the front and rear of the Brooklyn tower to prevent the workmen from falling
off. During the late high winds it was found that the men had the greatest
difficulty in

EASTERN  DISTRICT
DANGEROUS STABBING AFFRAY IN A DUTCHTOWN SALOON.
Two Men Badly Cut in am Inn which was Kept Open in Defiance of the Excise
Law- The Scene of the Occurrence Near the Locality of the  BETZ  Homicide.
     The region of the "Swamp" in Dutchtown, has an unenviable reputation as
a locality where serious brawls occur.  Scarcely a night passes but a
tenement house or barroom quarrel takes place, and the "Swamp" and
"Pickieville" furnish more work for Captain Worth, his officers,  and
Justice Guck than another portion of the Sixth Precinct.  Early this morning
a serious affray occurred in the saloon of Jacob Mohr, corner of Humboldt
and Debevoise streets, but a few blocks away from the scene of the BETZ
homicide.  The "Inn" it appears, had been open all night, in violation of
the Excise law, and at four o'clock this morning the place was doing a
rushing business, the proprietor having all he could do to attend to the
wants of his ??butleusly inclined customers, who filled the "hotel".
Suddenly  a quarrel arose, no one concerned seeming to know the cause , and
a number of men were seen leaning over one Lorenz JACKERS, of 236 Varet
street, and taking a knife from his band. When the man JACKERS had been
turned out of the saloon, it was found that Michael SULUMANN , of 38
Montrose avenue, had received a severe cut on his cheek extending from his
left eye to his ear  and laying bare the cheek bone.  His brother, Andrew
SULLIVAN also received a severe cut on his left cheek. Michael SULLMANN,
hastened to the Thirteenth  Precinct Station and told of the occurrence.
Meantime JACKERS in an intoxicated condition made his way to the Sixth
Precinct Station and told his story of the fight. It was observed that he
had blood on his clothes, and he was detained at the  station until this
morning, when Justice GUCK held him to await the result of SULLMANN'S
injures. Jacob MOHR, the saloon proprietor , was arrested for violating the
Excise law, and held for future examination by Justice GUCK this morning.
Charles REIS , of 38 Montrose avenue, and George SHARRER, of 209 Hopkins
street, were held as witnesses.

A POOR WIDOW'S STORY
A Tale that Moved Commissioner Storms' Heart-Something for 
Dr. Norris and "Barney" Bogan to Read.
MARY JANE THOMPSON, a widow, residing at 82 North Elliott place, 
told a very pitiful story in the Supervisors' room today, stating 
that she was the mother of four children, aged respectively twenty-one, 
sixteen, twelve and seven, the last being a girl; that the eldest, 
a boy subject to epileptic fits, was an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum 
for two months, when he was sent recently to the Hospital for 
Incurables where he remained one month, until he fell in one of 
his fits upon the heater, and burned his face in a shocking manner. 
She blamed the attendants, and took the poor lad home, thinking she 
might be able to take care of him herself; but as only one of her 
children, the boy of sixteen, is working, and earns but $3.25 a week, 
and she herself earns only a scanty sum by washing, sewing, and
other odd jobs, she finds it hard to support the family; and also 
has no one but the youngest children to take care of the epileptic 
during her absence, and they are not able to do so.
She said that she had applied to Dr. NORRIS this morning for his 
readmission to the Asylum, laying these facts before him, but that 
he had refused to help her, saying that she had been too impudent, 
and had no right to complain about her boy being burned. She then 
applied to the Supervisors, and was referred to Supervisor STRONG, 
who recommened her to present her case to Commissioner BOGAN.
She went away, and shortly afterward returned, stating that 
Commissioner BOGAN said he could do nothing in the matter, as she 
was not in his district. Commissioner STORMS, then being in the room, 
the facts were laid before him, and he immediately wrote an order
directing the Hospital Superintendent to receive the boy, and the 
good woman went away with a gush of tears for thanks.
