KILLED BY A BOBTAIL CAR
   Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the death of
Robert MARSHALL, of 381 Clinton street, who died on June 5 from the effects
of injuries received by a fall from a conductorless car at the corner Church
and Greenwich street, New York.  Mr. MARSHALL died at his residence.
   Mrs. Jessie MARSHALL, widow of the dead man, testified that she and her
husband had been to Washington Market and were going to South Ferry in a car
of the South Ferry Railroad Company.  Mrs. MARSHALL sat inside, and her
husband stood on the rear platform.  The car was a "jigger," and on reaching
the corner of Greenwich and Church streets, turned into the former street
from Church.  The vehicle was going at a rapid speed, and as it turned Mr.
MARSHALL was thrown off, sustaining a fracture of the skull.
   The jury brought in the following verdict:  "We find that Robert MARSHALL
came to his death by injury to the brain, consequent upon a fracturing of
the skull, received from an accidental fall from the rear platform of a
railroad car of the South Ferry Railroad Company on June 5, 1882.  We find
that the cause of the accident was running the car too fast and turning
curve too quickly by which deceased was thrown from the car, and we censure
the company for not providing conductors on their cars and the driver for
turning the curve too fast."

LIKELY TO DIE
   A Wolcott Street Man Who Was Assaulted a Month Ago by an Austrian Sailor.
   Frank WILSON, aged 42 years, and living at No. 82 Wolcott street, on June
9 became engaged in an altercation with Basto SPETENOSA, an Austrian sailor,
in which WILSON was badly beaten.  He caused SPETENOSA's arrest on a charge
of assault and battery, a more serious charge being out of the question, as
WILSON bore no outward marks of the assault.  On the following day SPETENOSA
was arraigned before Justice BERGEN, who allowed him to go under a
suspension of sentence.  WILSON has since been lying at his home, attended
by Dr. DEUTSCHBERGER.  He appeared to be recovering until last night, when
serious symptoms appeared, showing that the patient was suffering from
concussion of the brain, the result of the injuries he received at SPETENOSA
's hands.  Word was sent to Capt. REILLY, of the Eleventh Precinct, an
officer of whose command arrested SPETENOSA originally, to re-arrest him if
he could be found.  This has not yet been accomplished.  WILSON grew so much
worse during the night that his death is regarded as a question of but a few
hours.  When this became evident word was sent to the Coroner to take the
injured man's ante-mortem statement.

Death of a Notorious Criminal
   Frank PORTER, a well-known burglar who has spent most of his life in
prison, died yesterday in the Penitentiary, where he was serving a five
years' sentence for burglary.  Death was due to a complication of disorders
brought on by debauchery.  The chief characteristic of the man was his
absolutely pitiless nature.  About a year ago he cut open a fellow convict's
face from his ear to his mouth simply because he took a dislike to the man.
Some years ago while in Sing Sing he tore out a fellow convict's eye and
threw it against the prison wall with a savage laugh.  Turning to a fellow
convict who was dying with consumption, a few days ago, PORTER gloating over
his misery said:  "Well, I'm dying now, but you'll not be long after me; you
'll have to go next."  When he first became dangerously ill he said he would
just as soon go to hell from the Penitentiary as from anywhere else.  PORTER
is an assumed name, and the man who died yesterday is not "Billy" PORTER the
well-known bank burglar, who is also an inmate of the Penitentiary.

that the poison had been administered by the father by mistake for syrup of
rhubarb.  Mrs. KNUDSEN was in the habit of taking opium to induce sleep.

12 July 1882
Daniel MAUJER
   Mr. Daniel MAUJER died yesterday at his late residence, No. 524 Grand
street, of acute rheumatism.  He was in his 72d year.  He was born in the
Island of Guernsey, and came to this country fifty-one years ago.  He had
resided; forty-one years in the house where he died, and during his long
residence in the Eastern District he did much to build up that portion of
the city, one of the streets of which bears his name.  Although a poor young
man when he came to this country, he succeeded by close attention to
business, honesty and good nature in building himself up financially and in
the hearts of his neighbors.  His paint store, on the corner of Fourth and
Grand streets, was a place of resort for many solid business men of the
'Burgh'.  There the members of old firms most did congregate to advise with
neighbor MAUJER, and many was the time when he extended substantial relief
to friends in difficulty.  For several years his paint business has been
carried on by his nephews.  He was one of the originators of the First
National Bank, and at the time of his death he was a director of that strong
financial institution.  In 1858 he represented the Fifteenth Ward in the
Board of Aldermen, and he took an active part in promoting the introduction
of Ridgewood water into the city.  Previous to that time he was a member of
the Board of Trustees of the village of Williamsburg, and Public School No.
18 was first opened in a building owned by him at the corner of Remsen
street and Graham avenue in 1842.  For eighteen years he has been a member
of the Board of Education, and most of that time he was Chairman of the
Committee on Schoolhouses.  This is one of the most important committees of
the Board.  When the late Mr. WHITLOCK died he was Vice-President of the
Board, and succeeded him as President.  For many years he was also a
Commissioner of Emigration.  He belonged to the M. E. Church, at the corner
of Ewen and Grand streets, and he was also a liberal subscriber to nearly
all the charitable associations of the Eastern District.  During the late
war Mr. MAUJER came prominently to the front as a supporter of President
LINCOLN's Administration, and although too old to go to the war himself, he
was the means of sending many young men there, and he contributed liberally
for the support of his country.
   His wife died some time ago and he left no children.
   A special meeting of the Board of Education will be held at 9 A.M.
to-morrow, for the purpose of taking appropriate action with respect to the
death of Mr. MAUJER.

Mr. William WARING, who for forty years had been a resident of this city,
and was well known as the head of the wholesale coffee and spice house, 74
Fulton street, died on Monday of congestion of the heart, at his house, 110
South Elliott place.  He had been complaining for about two months.  He
commenced business on Hicks street, near Fulton, about forty years ago and,
with the exception of a short time in Nassau street, had been located
between Fulton Ferry and the present store ever since.  He was twenty-one
years at 46 Fulton street.  Mr. WARING was born at Newburg on the Hudson,
and was 66 years of age.  He leaves a widow, three sons and one daughter.
The son William has been associated with his father in business some years.
Deceased was a member of the Hanson Place M. E. Church and was much
respected.  The funeral services will take place at the house at 4 P.M.
to-morrow.  Interment at Greenwood.

Wilhelm RETTIG, a well-known German journalist, was found dead in bed in
his room at No. 109 Nassau street last night.  Death is supposed to have
been caused by paralysis of the brain, due to the heat.  Mr. RETTIG was 36
years of age and was born in Hanover.  He studied philology at the
University of Gottingen and came to America in 1863 and settled in the West,
where he obtained employment on some German newspaper.  Coming East he
became connected with the "Frele Piesse," of this city and latterly with the
New York "Staats Zeltung."  He was a man of large attainments and a very
able journalist, and his geniality secured for him the friendship of all his
associates.  A sad circumstance in connection with his death is the fact
that a young lady to whom he was betrothed before leaving his native land is
now on her way to America for the purpose of becoming his wife.  Mr. RETTIG
had no relatives except an uncle in this country.  His father is Garrison,
Inspector of Withelmshaven.

John MURPHY's Death
   Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the death of
John MURPHY, the 6-year-old boy who was drowned in the sewer at the foot of
Twenty-fifth street.  The evidence showed that MURPHY was discovered in the
sewer by three young men who were fishing near by.  They heard no outcry and
thought at first that what they saw was a cocoanut.  They believe that there
was a law against anyone but the authorities handling dead bodies, and
called Officer BOYLEN, of the Eighth Sub-Precinct, who secured the body.
The boy was still breathing, but all efforts to revive him were fruitless.
The jury found that the boy was accidentally drowned and blamed the persons
having charge of the sewer box, because they neglected to properly protect
and guard it.

HUNG WITH A CLOTHESLINE
The Suicide of an Eastern District Tinsmith - His  Deliberate Preparations
for Death
   Edward HOWARD, a tinsmith, employed in West street, New York, and living
at No. 352 First street, E.C., last night hung himself with a clothesline in
the cellar of his residence.  He has been drinking heavily of late and this
is supposed to have led him to take his life.  HOWARD was 50 years of age
and had a wife and three children.  About nine o'clock last night he left
his apartments and went down stairs without telling his wife where he was
going.  An hour later a man living in the house had occasion to go to the
cellar and there he found HOWARD dead.  The latter, on leaving his
apartments had procured a clothesline which he took with him to one of the
woodhouses.  There he divested himself of his hat, coat, vest, shirt and
shoes, fastened one end of the rope, which he doubled, over a beam, and the
other around his neck.  His feet, however, touched the ground, and he raised
them and hung in that position until death ensued.  When found one of his
feet and one knee touched the ground.  As he was regularly employed and
lived happily with his family, no other cause than drink can be assigned for
the act.

SHOOTING HIMSELF IN HER ROOM AT HER PARENTS' RESIDENCE
Made Desperate and Melancholy by Family Troubles - Her Determination to End
Her Life - Testimony Taken at the Inquest - The Verdict
   A First Precinct police officer, about half-past two o'clock yesterday
morning, while standing in the vicinity of Willoughby and Gold streets,
heard a pistol shot, but failed after an investigation to learn from where
it proceeded.  At No. 135 Willoughby street lives Mr. BEHM, with whom reside
his wife and two married daughters.  Neither of the latter, however, live
with their husbands.  The daughters - Elia LOWELL and Edith Louise BENNOR -
retired between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, each to her own
room.  About eight o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. BEHM went to Eliz's room
to call the latter.  The door was open and the mother called several times,
but receiving no reply entered and saw the daughter lying on the bed.  She
touched her and found that the body was cold.
   At her side lay a revolver, and in her right temple was a wound which had
caused her death.  Mrs. BEHM heard no pistol shot during the night.  She
says her daughter attempted to take her life in May last by jumping from a
Fulton ferry-boat, but was rescued.  She had not lived with her husband for
several years, and was despondent and melancholy.
   Edith Louise BENNOR, sister of the dead woman, heard a noise in her
sister's room on Saturday night, but thought it was made by the bolt of the
door being pushed into place.  Mrs. LOWELL had told her that she would find
means by which to take her life.
   These facts were testified to at the inquest held by Coroner KELLER this
morning.  Dr. A. W. SHEPARD, who was called in, gave the following
testimony:  I was called to see deceased yesterday morning and found her
dead, with rigor well established, I saw a pistol shot wound in her right
temple:  a pistol was lying by her side; one cartridge only had been
exploded, I have attended deceased on one or two occasions; in my opinion
death resulted from bullet wound in brain inflicted by herself; from her
complaints of having trouble heretofore I am of the opinion that the deed
was committed during aberration of the mind.
   The jury gave the following verdict:  We find that Elia LOWELL came to
her death by a bullet wound inflicted by herself to destroy her own life,
while suffering from aberration of the mind.
   The dead woman was 29 years of age.

AQ Missing Man Found Drowned
   John ROCHSLER, aged 28 years, disappeared from his residence, No. 266
Court street, on the 16th inst.  On Saturday night his body was found in the
river at Fulton Ferry.  The body was first taken to the Morgue and then to
his late residence.
   Coroner KELLER held an inquest in the case to-day.  The father stated
that his son had been a hard drinker since he was sixteen years of age.  He
was frequently absent from the house for weeks and his parents had no
knowledge of his whereabouts.  Of late he had been submit to fits due to
drink.  The father believes that he fell overboard while suffering from a
fit.  The jury decided that he came to his death was by drowning, but
whether accidental or otherwise they could not tell.

Died on a Pleasure Party
   Dr. John G. JOHNSON, of Henry street, on Saturday, took a pleasure party
out for a sail in his yacht.  When opposite Bay Ridge Mr. Benjamin C.
HOWARD, of No. 224 Bergen street, was seized with a fit of apoplexy, from
the effects of which he died in a short time.  The boat was immediately
headed for the shore, and the body removed to Mr. HOWARD's late residence.
Deceased was a bachelor, and lived with his mother.

25 July 1882
William H. BURNS Dead
   William H. BURNS, the young man who a few days ago was found in Prospect
Park suffering from a pistol shot wound in the head, supposed to be
self-inflicted, died yesterday in the Long Island College Hospital.  His
father now deeply regrets the words he spoke in anger when he first heard of
the shooting, and, by his direction, another son took charge of the body,
which will be properly buried.

Death of John C. HAMILTON, last surviving son of Alexander HAMILTON, died at Long
Branch at 12:35 this morning.  He was his father's biographer, having in
1834-40 published in two volumes, "A Life of A. HAMILTON."  He wrote "A
History of the Republic of the United States as Traced in the Writings of
Alexander HAMILTON and His Contemporaries."  He also edited his father's
works from MSS, in the State Department.  Mr. HAMILTON was about 90 years of
age, and resided at No. 17 West Twentieth street, New York.

DEATH AT LAST
Annie SHAFFER's Second Attempt to Kill Herself Successful - Poisoned with
Paris Green in Jersey City
   Annie SHAFFER, of No. 238 Seventeenth street, who on May 30 last
attempted suicide by jumping from a dock at High Bridge into the Harlem
River, made another and \a successful attempt to end her life on Sunday
night in Jersey City.  The girl left home on Wednesday last to go to New
York, saying she was to look for employment as a domestic.  She did not
return or send word to her relatives, who instituted a search, which
resulted in the girl's body being found in the Charity Hospital in Jersey
City.  It was ascertained that Annie, on Sunday night, applied to Mr. Philip
CARLON, of No. 16 Coleman street, Jersey City, for lodgings.  She said she
was friendless and without money.  She had no place to go unless to a police
station.  Her dress and appearance being respectable, her request was
granted.  Soon after moans were heard proceeding from the room and she was
found suffering from convulsions.  She had taken Paris green and a small
quantity was found in a paper in the room.  She was taken to the hospital,
where she died yesterday morning.  Members of the family told a reporter
last evening that the girl had no reason to seek employment; that she had a
comfortable home and the kindest of parents and they could not account for
her committing suicide other than that while usually of a cheerful
disposition, she was at times subject to "fits of flightiness."  They also
admitted that a doctor had said that her mind was slightly unbalanced, but
no notice was taken of the warning.  Her brothers went to the hospital last
night to claim the remains and to make arrangements for the interment.
   The first attempt of the girl to commit suicide was caused by the fact
that a South Brooklyn grocery clerk named STONE, with whom she had become
infatuated, did not reciprocate her feelings.

WILLIAM BURNS' DEATH
The Story of the Shooting as He Told It to His Brother - Verdict of a
Coroner's Jury
    Coroner KELLER held an inquest yesterday afternoon in the case of the
death of William BURNS, who shot himself in Prospect Park on the 18th inst.,
the particulars of which have already been published.  Henry BURNS, a
brother of the dead man, however, shed some additional light on the case by
the following testimony:
   My brother told me at different times sections of a story as to how he
received his wound, and which I believe to be true; he said that as near as
he could recollect he fired one shot, and was about to fire a second when he
heard ladies scream, and then threw his pistol away and ran; that one shot
struck him in the head; he was in the park when he fired the shot; as to the
cause of the act I believe it to have been despondency; I have seen him
despondent at times; the cause of the despondency I believe to be from the
fact that he did not get along very well in life, having had trouble in
business with his father.
   The jury decided that BURNS came to his death by a pistol shot wound
inflicted by himself while laboring under mental aberration.

How William ARMOR Died
   William ARMOR, aged 69 years, who had been ill for five years, last night

26 July 1882
Colonel Joseph A. SLIPPER, a veteran of the war, and one of the firm of
Messers. MACGOWAN & SLIPPER, the Beekman street (New York) printers, died
yesterday at his residence, No. 457 Henry street, this city, aged 41 years.
He was born in New York City, and graduated from Columbia College.  On
leaving college he became a teacher in a school in New York, but resided in
Brooklyn.  Upon the breaking out of the war he entered the army and served
on the staff of General GRAHAM, in the Army of the Potomac.  At the close of
the war he returned to Brooklyn and entered the field of journalism.  He was
engaged first as an editor of the "Army and Navy Journal," and afterward on
the editorial staff of "Hearth and Home."  For a time he held a responsible
position in S. W. GREEN & Co.'s printing establishment, at Frankfort and
Jacob streets, New York.  Then he entered into partnership with Mr. Robert
W. MACGOWAN, who was also employed in the same place, and they opened a book
and job printing establishment in the "Sun" building in 1871.  Later they
removed their business to Beekman street.  The exposures of army life in the
field affected Colonel SLIPPER's health, and for the past five years he
suffered from spinal trouble, which eventually caused his death.  He was a
member of the Grand Army of the Republic.  He leaves a widow and three
children.  The funeral will take place from his late residence to-morrow
afternoon at four o'clock, and the remains will be interred in Greenwood Cemetery.

not come up again giving rise to the impression that he stuck fast in the
mud.  A verdict of accidental drowning was rendered.

He was born in the County Clare, Ireland, and graduated from the Queens
College, Dublin.  He received his diploma to practice medicine at the
Edinburgh College.  Directly after he came to America he connected himself
with the Sixty-ninth Regiment, which position he held up to the time of his
death.  He acted in that capacity with the organization during the late war.

   Mr. John M. REILLY, who resided at No. 334 Jay street, retired to bed
last evening at about ten o'clock after a pleasant social chat with some of
his neighbors and shortly afterwards he was stricken with apoplexy and died

in the Fourth Ward for about thirty years.  He was a member of the firm of
Miles O'REILLY's Sons, liquor dealers, Front street, New York.  He was a
Democrat, of Independent proclivities, and a noted member of the Masonic
order.  He was Master of the Brooklyn Lodge, High Prfest of his chapter and

MURDERED-Mary MEEHAN's Death Due to Violence
The Result of a Post Mortem Examination by Dr. A. W. SHEPARD - Death Caused
by Compression of the Brian - The Husband Recovering
   An examination in the case of the death of Mrs. Mary MEEHAN, who was
found dead at her residence in Hamilton avenue, near Nelson street,
yesterday, proves beyond doubt that the woman met her death by violence.
This fact was ascertained by Dr. A. W. SHEPARD, who made a post-mortem
examination yesterday afternoon by direction of Coroner KELLER.
   Coroner KELLER impanneled a jury to-day and adjourned the inquest.
MEEHAN still lives at St. Peter's Hospital, but to-day his condition was
much improved, and it is thought that he will recover.  There is no doubt
but that he attempted to kill himself by taking poison.  The neighbors of
the MEEHAN's say that the couple quarreled daily, and were continuously more
or less under the influence of liquor.  They lived in poverty and filth.
The shanty in which they lived is a one-story tumble-down concern, divided
into three rooms.  In the rear room there is no flooring of boards.  A
bedspread with a layer of straw over the slate was the only article of
furniture in the room.  This stood on the ground.  In the front room the
only articles of furniture were a broken-down lounge, a table, a small stove
and one chair.  The floor was covered with pieces of worn-out oilcloth.  An
extension built on to the front room is used by the children.  As stated
yesterday, three of the children have been taken in charge by the Charities
Commissioners and one by an aunt.

SUICIDE AT SEVENTY-FIVE
Why George REINER was Tired of Life - His Body Picked up at Fort Hamilton
   The body of the man found drowned at Fort Hamilton on Monday has been
identified as that of George REINER, aged 75 years, whose residence was at
No. 183 Humboldt street., E.D., where he lived with his wife.  The
identification was made by a friend who, on reading a description of the
body and clothing in the newspapers, decided that the body was that of
REINER.  The friend, whose name is Alfred TRAVIS, went to the Morgue
yesterday morning and upon examining the clothing found it to be that worn
by REINER when the latter left home on Monday morning.  The body had already
been buried by the authorities.  There is no doubt but that REINER committed
suicide.  He had been in ill-health for a long time and on several occasions
threatened suicide by intimating that he cared to live no longer.  The fact
that his married daughter was well to do while he was poor appears to have
weighed heavily on his mind, as he several times gave expression to that
fact.  In one of his pockets was found a letter written in German and
addressed to his wife.  Translated it reads like this:  "I am tired of life.
I have had a sick wife for twelve years and have been sick myself.  I don't
care to live any longer."

just before the British appeared in the bay.  During the subsequent
engagement the flag floated over the fort, and was seen by KEY while
confined in the British man-of-war.  After the war the flag was returned to

of the SANDERSON family.

woman jumps overboard and a demented young man shoots himself through
the liver.
A frequenter of Michael HOURAHAN'S liquor saloon, corner of Twentieth
street and Fifth avenue, yesterday afternoon found the body of a man in
an outhouse in the yard.  Blood oozed from a wound in the head and
beside the body lay a Crescent five-barrel revolver.  The man was about
45 years of age, five feet seven inches tall, stout build, with black
hair and heavy black mustache, and was dressed in a black sack coat and
black pants, blue flannel vest, white drawers, under and overshirt, with
the letters "G.P." on one of the bands of the latter, and gaiters.
Coroner KELLER ordered the body removed to the Morgue.  The man must
have entered the yark through the hall as he was not seen in the
saloon.  A pair of spectacles in a case, a red handkerchief and a bunch
of keys were found in the pockets.  Coroner KELLER held an inquest last
night and the jury returned a verdict of suicide by shooting.

flagman.  Dr. MILLER took careful observations before attempting to
cross the track, but had not reached the other side when a train came
rapidly towards him, and his horse becoming frightened at the escaping
steam, became unmanagable, and the train striking the carriage threw Dr.
MILLER into the air.  In the fall his skull was fractured and his body
badly cut.  The engineer reversed the engine and applied the brakes, but
without stopping the train in time to prevent the accident.

RICHARD CRAWFORD'S SUICIDE
Testimony of His Mother and Others Before Coroner Keller
Coroner KELLER this morning held an inquest in the case of the death of
Richard CRAWFORD, who shot himself at his residence, 28 First place, on
Monday last.  Mrs. Margaretta H. CRAWFORD, mother of the dead man,
testified that her son came home from Dr. KIRKEBRIDE'S Insane Asylum on
June 28 last, where he had been  two years, and before that was for a
short time at a Schood for Unfortunates and Invalids at Binghamton.  He
often asked for a pistol, and about a week ago wanted her to give him
money with which to buy a pistol.  This she refused to do, but
subsequently found he had sold an old suit of clothes for $2 and
purchased a pistol.  She and her son, Sidney, went to Richard's room and
asked the latter where the pistol was, but he would not tell and jumped
out of bed and ran down stairs to the bathroom and locked the door after
him.  Sidney secured an entrance in another way and found Richard in the
act of cocking a pistol, and after threatening to shoot Sidney turned
the pistol and shot himself in the right side.  When she entered the
room Richard lay on the floor.  He said to her, "Mother, I have done it."
The testimony of the son Sidney corresponded with that of his mother.
Dr. WATT, who attended CRAWFORD, said that death was due to internal
hemorrhage, super-induced by a wound through the liver.  The jury
decided in accordance with the facts.

ANOTHER SUICIDE
An Unknown Man Jumps Overboard and Refuses Assistance
An unknown man walked rapidly down Broadway about a quarter past one
o'clock this morning, paid his fare to the ferrymaster, walked to the
end of the bridge and jumped overboard.  He was observed by ferry
employes who, with a boathook, endeavored to drag him from the water.
They fastened the hook in his clothing, but he threw his arms up and
broke the hold, sank and was drowned.  The body was subsequently
recovered.  It is that of a man about 30 years of age, five feet eight
inches tall, dark hair, small goatee, dark coat, pants and vest, hickory
shirt, black soft hat.  The body was removed to the Morgue.

Major George S. LELAND, one of the proprietors of the Sturtevant House,
New York, died at 8:30 this morning of rheumatic gout.

Eliza CARROLL, aged 70 years, has occupied apartments at No. 373 Kent
avenue, for four years.  She lived alone and had few friends.  Neighbors
did not see her as usual yesterday, and notifed the police when they
called for her and received no reply.  Mrs. CARROLL was found seriously
ill, and an ambulance was called.  Before it arrived, however, she
died.  Coroner PARKER ordered the body removed to the Morgue.

How He was Run Over by a Lightning Express Train, and His Dead Body
Taken Up a Shapeless Mass.
The employes (sic) of the Brooklyn Post Office express regret over the
death of letter carrier W.F.ROBERTS at Portchester on Wednesday evening.
The particulars of his death have been received.  On Wednesday afternoon
he went to Portchester to see his wife and children who were visiting at
the house of his father-in-law.  On returning in the evening he got on a

SHOCKING.    [Not for the faint of heart.]
A DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT
A Temporarily Insane Father Cuts His Six-year-old Daughter's Throat from
Ear to Ear and then Jumps from a Second Story Window-The Girl's Recovery
Possible, but the Father's Death Possible.
A tragic occurance, in which a father, temporarily insane by reason of
long illness, cut his six-year-old daughter's throat from ear to ear,
and then sought to destroy his own life by jumping from a second story
window, was reported to the police shortly before noon to-day in the
Eastern District.  It is possible that the girl will recover, while the
father's chances are less hopeful.
Edward H.C.BROWN, aged 45 years, lives with his wife and family at No.
229 Maujer street.  The family occupy apartments on the second floor.
BROWN for a long time has been ill and confined to his house.  His
illness, together with the fact that he could do no work, so preyed upon
his mind that this morning he became temporarily deranged.  While in
that condition he seized a razor which had previously been sharpened,
and, grasping his daughter Mary, aged 6 years, drew the sharp edge
ACCROSS HER THROAT making a gash which extended from ear to ear.  
Throwing the child to the floor and casting aside the razor he ran 
to an open window at the front of the house and sprang out.
Beneath the window was an iron railing, and on this BROWN struck in his
fall and bounded off to the sidewalk.  The Sixth Precinct police, as
soon as notified, summond an ambulance.  When Surgeon HEYL arrived he
found BROWN lying in the position in which he had fallen, unconscious.
An examination showed that the man's skull had been fractured by the
fall and that his  chin had been broken.  He was also more or less badly
bruised about the body and limbs.  He was placed in the ambulance and
taken to St.Catherine's Hospital.  Officer MASTER's of the Sixth
Precinct, accompanied the ambulance and remains in charge of BROWN to
see that the latter make no further attempt on his life, and also to
frustrate any attempt that he may make at escape.  Little Mary was found
in her parents' apartments, the blood flowing FROM A FRIGHTFUL GASH
in her throat and her clothing covered with the crimson flood.  On the
floor where she lay was a big pool of blood.  When Surgeon HEYL examined
the gash in her throat he found that while it was a deep cut and of an
exceedingly dangerous nature it was not necessarily a fatal wound.  He
carefully dressed the cut and carrying the child to the ambulance
conveyed her to St. Catherine's Hospital.

DUE TO VIOLENCE
Mrs. Mary Meehan's Death - Facts Elicited at the Coroner's Inquest -
Testimony of a Witness who saw Meehan Strike His Wife - The Verdict of the Jury.
Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest touching the circumstances of
the death of Mrs. Mary MEEHAN, who was killed by her husband at her
residence in Nelson street, near Hamilton avenue, on July 27 last.
Michael ALLEN, a young nephew of Mrs. MEEHAN, was the first witness.  He testified:
On Wednesday a week ago I was going to the tea store corner of Hamilton
avenue and Columbia street; on my way down I saw Mr. MEEHAN strike my
aunt with a tin can on the head and kick her; she then laid down; this
happened in the alleyway leading to their shanty; she said nothing, and
he went into the house.
Jane MURRAY testified:  About six o'clock on the evening of July 26 I
passed MEEHAN'S shanty and saw Mrs. MEEHAN lying in the alley; her
husband came out of the shanty just then and took hold of her arms to
carry her in;  Mrs. FOGARTY and I assisted him and laid Mrs. MEEHAN on
the floor; she said nothing.
Eliza FOGARTY testified to assisting MEEHAN and the previous witness to
carry Mrs. MEEHAN into the house.  Mrs. MEEHAN's face was badly swollen
at the time.  The MEEHANS were frequently intoxicated, but the witness
never saw the husband strike his wife.
Margaret LEONARD testified to seeing Mrs. MEEHAN lying in front of her
shanty with her clothing torn.  The witness and another woman carried
her into the alley.
      HER FACE WAS SWOLLEN AND BLACK,
and she was crying, "God help my poor soul!"
Officer Michael ROACH testified that he found Mrs. MEEHAN on the floor
dead; her husband was sitting on a chair near her in the same room;
MEEHAN said that his wife had been drunk on the previous night, and that
he and a couple of neighbors laid her on the floor; that he went into
the other room and slept there; that when he called her in the morning
he found her dead; then he laid down beside her and cried, and then
called the neighbors; he denied striking her.
Dr. A.W. SHEPARD's statement, as already published, showing that death
resulted from compression of the brain, produced by a clot of
extravasated blood, caused by
      VIOLENCE APPLIED TO THE SKULL,
was then read, after which the jury retired.  They returned the
following verdict:
"That Mrs. Mary MEEHAN came to her death on July 27 by compression of
the brain, due to a clot of extravasated blood caused by violenct
applied to the skull with a tin can by her husband, Michael MEEHAN."
The husband still remains at St. Peter's Hospital in charge of an
officer.  It is thought that his condition will be such in a few days
that he will be able to stand removal to the jai.

FOUND DEAD IN BED
John NOLAN this morning found his ten-weeks' old daughter Mary dead in

JAMES V. VAN SICKLEN.
The Funeral of an Old Coney Island Landlord.
The funeral of the late James V. VAN SICKLEN, one of the oldest and
earlist Coney Island hotel-keepers, took place this afternoon at the
Island and was largely attended.  Mr. VAN SICKLEN died on Sunday from
the effects of a severe cold, and was in his 70th year.  He was born in
Gravesend, where there were those of his name more than two centuries
ago.  A portion of the present VAN SICKLEN hotel was built by deceased's
father as a farm house.  Subsequently, however, the old gentleman gave
up farming and became a Boniface.  Before his father's death James had
the hotel under his control, and he was as jealous of the good name of
his house as he was solicitous for the comfort of his guests.  Several
additions were made to the building from time to time.  VAN SICKLEN'S
HOTEL always had a reputation for a good dinner, fried eels and clam
fritters being specialties.  James loved a good horse, and was the owner
at one time of Gray Messenger, a famous trotter.  The VAN SICKLEN
property in the vicinity of the hotel is still extensive, though much of
it has been disposed of.  It is claimed that this section of the beach,
which was part of the tract purchased by deceased's father, still
belongs to the family, and that the processes by shich it was taken by
the town of Gravesend was illegal.  Mr. VAN SICKLEN leaves a son and
daughter, both of whom are married, his wife having died thirteen years ago.

DEAD IN A BOAT-A BROOKLYN BOY KILLS HIMSELF AT CANARSIE
The Circumstances Attending the Death of William DURBUR, Aged 14
Years--A Case that is Almost Inexplicable.
A neatly dressed boy, apparently 14 years of age, about ten o'clock
yesterday morning, called at David MOLL's boat house at Canarsie and
said he wished to hire a rowboat.
"I want the lightest boat you've got," he said.
"Are you alone?" asked Mr. MOLL.
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
A boat of light build was chosen and paid for by the boy for an hour's
use.  He seized the oars and rowed out into the channel through which
the Rockaway steamer passes, and reaching a point about three hundred
feet from the shore dropped anchor.
About one o'clock in the afternoon a German boatman, who lives at
Canarsie, was rowing across the channel and saw the boat lying to.  He
saw no one in it and becoming curious at so unusual a sight as a boat
anchored so far from shore rowed alongside and looked into the boat.  As
he did so he started at the sight of the body of a boy lying stretched
out at full length in the bottom of it.  The right arm was extended
across the breast and in the hand was  GRASPED A PISTOL.
He made fast his boat and made a more minute examination and found that
blood was trickling from a wound in the boy's right temple.  The boy was
dead and evidently had been for some time as the body was quite cold.
The boatman then rowed ashore and notified Mr. MOLL, who on rowing out
to where the boat containing the body was, identified it as that of the
boy who had a few hours previously engaged the boat of him, and with
whom he had the conversation detailed above.  The boy was not known to
anyone who saw the body, and last night the remains were removed to the
county buildings at Flatbush.
Yesterday afternoon word was telegraphed to Police Headquarters that
William DURBUR, aged 14 years, who lived with his parents at No.156 Walworth st,
was missing.  He was in the employ of W.H. TULLY, a jeweler, doing
business at No. 631 DeKalb avenue.  The latter stated that early in the
morning he sent DURBUR out with a clock which had been repaired, on
which he was to collect $1, and that since that time he had not seen
him.  To-day DURBUR's relatives went to Flatbush and identified the body
of the boy who was found deat in the boat as his.  It is supposed that
the boy committed suicide, although no reason for such an act can be
given unless it be that he was in ill-health, as he had always been
delicate.  The weapon which he used was a common toy pistol, which he
must have loaded with a bullet of small calibre.
The inquest was to have been held to-day but the boatman who found the
body was not to be had, and it was adjourned.
It has been learned that the boy during the day had broken a pane of
glass in the window of his employer's store and had been told by the
latter that he must make good the damage.  He felt badly about the
matter and went to his home, telling his mother of it.  It is surmised
that directly after leaving home he went to Canarsie and the shot himself.

10 August 1882
MICHAEL DELEHANTY'S SISTER
Allegations that She was Violently Treated by Her Husband Before Her
Death-The Result of a Post-Mortem Examination.
Michael DELEHANTY last night called at Coroner HELLER's residence and
told him that his (Delehanty's) sister, Mrs. Margaret D. GREENE, who
lived at No. 66 Duffield street, had diet under circumstances which
warrented an inquest, although a physician had given a certificate that
death was due to natural causes.  Upon being requested to make known the
facts in his possession DELEHANTY told the following story:
The dead woman lived with her husband, Henry C. GREENE, a pedler, at No.
66 Duffield street.  She was in delicate health, and two weeks ago
DELEHANTY saw her husband strike her with his fist and throw her against
the wall.  This was in GREENE's apartments.  Dr. McENTEE, of No 195
Myrtle avenue, who is a druggist and physician, attended her, but
Doctors CHARLES and VON HOLLINGER were also called in.  Dr. CHARLES, so
DELEHANTY said, announced that he would give no certificate of death.
Dr. McENTEE did, but Dr. CHARLES told DELEHANTY to go to Coroner KELLER
and state the facts to him.  DELEHANTY claimed that there were bruises
on the body, and said he felt certain that his sister's death was due to
violence at the hands of her husband.  DELEHANTY made an affidavit in
which the above facts were embodied, and then Coroner KELLER notified
police.  Officer HICKMAN found GREENE in the house in which he resides
and arrested him.  He was locked up over night and held to await the
result of the post-mortem examination of the body to be made by Dr.A.W.SHEPARD.
DELEHANTY made other allegations against GREENE, whom he said had
assaulted his mother and had been unfaithful to his wife.  The latter
died on Tuesday, and Dr. McENTEE's certificate gives the cause of death
as general debility, the result of excessive vomiting, due to natural causes.
DELEHANTY said that the cause of the trouble between GREENE and his
mother was the fact that the latter remonstrated with GREENE for
bringing fast women into the house while his wife's body lay there.  He
alleges GREENE is a hard drinker.
A post-mortem examination was made this afternoon by Dr. SHEPARD, who
found that Mrs. GREENE's death was due to natural causes, but it was his
opinion that death may have been hastened by cruel treatment or
violence.  He so reported to Coroner KELLER, who fixed Monday next as
the time for the inquest.

Mr. John SAWYER, a wealthy real estate owner in this city and the oldest

DROWNED-THE MYSTERY ATTENDING MARGARET BRADFORD'S DEATH.
Was she Thrown Overboard or Did She  Commit Suicide? - What a Boat
Captain Saw and Heard on Gowanus Canal.
Reuben E. CHAPMAN, captain of a canal boat lying near the Hamilton
avenue bridge, while seated on the deck of his vessel on Saturday night
about half-past ten o'clock, with his wife, heard a splash in the water
and subsequently cries for help.  Several other boatmen heard the
cries.  When CHAPMAN turned in the direction from which the cries came,
he saw a man standing on the bank of the canal.  He called to the latter
and asked why he did not attempt to rescue the person who had fallen
overboard.  The man replied with an oath and then ran rapidly away.  The
police were notified and made search for the body, but without success.
Late yesterday afternoon, however, the body was recovered.  It porved to
be that of Mrs. Margaret BRADFORD, aged 54 years, who lived at the foot
of Thirteenth street.  When she left the house on Saturday night she
said she would return in a few minutes.  Her husband and family left
with her and she took the keys.  She went to the residence of Mrs.
HANAN, who lives near the canal, and after she left there was not again
seen alive.  Mrs. BRADFORD's life was insured for $150.  One of her sons
claims that she several times threatened to commit suicide, and believes
that she jumped into the canal.  Her husband, however, and other
relatives, believe that she was thrown overboard.  Coroner KELLER will
investigate the matter.

A BIGAMIST'S DEATH.-A.C. WHARTON BLOWS HIS BRAINS OUT WHEN ARRESTED.
The End of a Railroad Official Who Left a Wife in Brooklyn to Marry a
Young Woman in Illinois.
Mr. A.C. WHARTON, Auditor of the Des Moines & Fort Dodge Railroad
Company, who was well known in this city, where his wife and child live,
last night blew out his brains with a pistol at Princeton, Ill.  WHARTON
in April last married Miss Eva CROSS, a Princeton belle.  The latter
recently ascertained that WHARTON had another wife living, and procured
a warrant for his arrest on a charge of bigamy.  He was arrested
yesterday, and while the officer was reading the warrant WHARTON drew a
pistol and placing it at his head fired.  Inspector JEWETT has received
a despatch from the Princeton authorities asking him to inquire as to
the whereabouts of the Brooklyn Mrs. WHARTON.  Drill Captain McKELVEY
investigated the matter and found that Mrs. WHARTON had been living at
No. 145 Pearl street.  She had left last night, however, for Illinois
before she heard of her husband's arrest or death for the purpose of
testifying against him.  It is said that the dead man had a number of
wives in various parts of the country.

DISAGREED. The Coroner's Jury in the Case of the Death of Mrs. Margaret Greene.
At the inquest last night by Coroner KELLER on the body of Mrs. Margaret
GREENE, of 66 Duffield street, whose husband, Henry GREENE, has been
under arrest on suspicion of being instrumental in her death, the jury
disagreed. Three of them found that Mrs. GREENE's death was due to fatty
degeneration of the liver, and that she received violence at her
husband's hands which exerted an influence in hastening her death.
The remaining four found that death was due to natural causes and failed
to find that her treatment by her husband hastened her death.

MARGARET BRADFORD'S DEATH.
The Testimony of Two Canal-boat Captains Takes by Coroner KELLER-
Indications of Foul Play.
Coroner KELLER yesterday afternoon took the testimony of two witnesses
in the case of the death of Mrs. MARGARET BRADFORD, who was drowned in
the Gowanus Canal on Saturday night last.  Reuben D. CHAPMAN, of the
canal-boat L.D.Cummings, was the first witness and gave the following
testimony:  On Saturday evening last Patrick ROCHE, his wife and I were
sitting on the canal boat S.M. Allen, of which ROCHE is captain; about
half-past ten o'clock we heard a splash in the water across the creek,
near the bridge; I turned to Captain ROCHE and said, "There's a man
drowned over there."  I called out to the person in the water: "Keep up
and   WE'LL GIVE YOU HELP:"
I ran back to my boat, hailed a schooner and told a man in it to take a
boat and go down and save the man;  in the meantime a man on the other
side of the creek called out: "Shut up, you ---- ---- ---- ----."  I
said: "What's the matter with you, go and save that man;" he made a
similar reply;  Captain ROCHE and I took a boat hook and went around to
save the person; in the meantime the man ran up the stringpiece to a
shed and then went off; on the bridge we met two little girls, who
clapped their hands and said:     "YOU'RE TOO LATE."
We went to where we heard the splash and saw what we supposed to be a
body, but could not reach it.  On Sunday I helped drag the canal, and
about four o'clock the body of a woman was found by some boys.  After
the body reached the water I heard no cry or splash, but merely a
puffing noise.  The man I caled [sic] to wore dark clothes and had a
coarse voice.
Captain ROCHE gave testimony of a corroborative character.
The inquest is to held next week, this testimony having been taken that
CHAPMAN and ROCHE might sail when their boats had discharged their cargoes.

AN INSANE WOMAN'S DEATH.
 Walking from One House to Another on Third Floor Window Sills- A Fatal Fall
Anna WATERS, an insane woman, who lived with her parents at No. 326
Adelphi street, died yesterday from injuries received by a fall.  Anna
was 30 years of age and had been demented for some time, but having
never attempted violence to herself or others, was allowed to roam about
the house at will.  On Sunday night she was in the parlor with some
relatives when, suddenly, she left the room and ran up stairs to the
third floor, and raising the sash of one of the windows, she stepped out
on the sill.  The sills of the house are very wide and correspond with
those of the two adjoining dwellings.  When the woman reached the sill
she stepped to the one at the next window and continued her dizzy walk
until she reached the next house, No. 324.  From one to another of the
sills in this house she stepped and then pursued her way to No. 322.  On
No. 320, however, the sills are of the narrow, old-fashioned kind, and
when she reached this house she pitched headlong to the pavement below.
It was not known whether her fall was caused by attempting to walk on
the narrow stone or to turn and retrace her steps to her own residence.
Dr. REYNOLDS, of No. 154 Lafayette avenue, was called and attended the
woman until she died yesterday morning.  Coroner KELLER will hold an
inquest.  The relatives are very reticent about the matter, and it is
only from neighbors that any facts can be learned.  One of them says
that the dead woman was to have been taken to an asylum yesterday and
think that her freak was caused by an insane attempt to frustrate the
carrying out of her relatives' determination by escaping from the house.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

a truck driven by Charles MATHIESON, by being knocked down and run over

Michael  McCANN, a junkman, aged 37 years yesterday afternoon committed
suicide at his residence, No. 37 Pacific street, by shooting himself in
the head with a revolver.  He had been addicted to drink for a long
time, and that fact is supposed to have unsettled his mind.  McCANN was

Albert E. SUMNER, M.D.
       The news of the sudden death of Dr. Albert E. SUMNER, of 130 Clinton 
Street, yesterday afternoon, was received with profound sorrow by his 
numerous friends in this city, and by the medical profession generally.  
Although he practiced homeopathy and held the foremost position in that 
school of medicine in this city, he was of that genial and free nature, that 
he counted among his friends many of the most prominent of the old school 
physicians.  Dr. SUMNER had been a resident of this city nearly twenty years 
and on the death of Dr. A. COOKE HULL succeeded 
him in his practice, and took his house-the one in which Dr. SUMNER had 
resided up to the day of his death.  On Wednesday last, Dr. SUMNER went to 
Wyckoff, N.J., to see his wife and family who were staying there and he 
returned to this city in the evening and spent the night with a friend on the 
Heights.  Yesterday morning he went out in his carriage at the usual time to 
make professional calls.  He was feeling very well and had a smile and 
pleasant word for those he met.  He had to see a patient on Washington Avenue 
and leaving there ordered his coachman to drive him to a Fulton Street 
furniture establishment.  While in front of the store, and just as he had 
alighted from his carriage, Dr. SUMNER was noticed to reel and grasp at an 
awning post for support.  He was helped into the carriage and at his own 
request driven to the residence of Dr. J. Lester KEEP, 460 Clinton Avenue.  
Dr. KEEP assisted Dr. SUMNER into the house and applied numerous remedies, 
but without effect, as Dr. SUMNER became unconscious and died in less than an 
hour.  The immediate cause of death was an impending stroke of apoplexy.
       Dr. SUMNER was 42 years of age and was born in Hartford, Conn.  He 
graduated from Trinity College in that city and afterwards studied medicine 
at the New York University where he received a diploma.  During the war he 
served as a surgeon in the Navy under Commodore PHELPHS, and in 1863 opened 
an office in this city.  He was the foremost spirit in the organization of 
the Homeopathic Hospital in Cumberland Street, and to this untiring vigor is 
due the growth of the institution from being comparatively unknown to one of 
the best known in the state.  He was President of the Board of Trustees of 
the hospital, was a member of the Kings County and State medical societies, 
the American Institute of Medicine, was the organizer and Vice President of 
the Apollo Club, a member of the Long Island Historical Society and the 
Philharmonic Society, and a director in the latter.  He was also connected 
with the Maternity in Concord Street, with the Brooklyn Club and other 
organizations.  He was active in social circles, and was much respected and 
universally liked.
       Immediately after his death, Mrs. SUMNER was summoned by telegraph, 
and she and the children reached home from New Jersey in the evening.  The 
funeral services will be held on Monday afternoon next at three o'clock at 
the church of the Holy Trinity.  The interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery.

ago, and has carried on business as a carpenter in the vicinity of Henry and 
Middagh Streets for the past twenty-five years.  He was a prominent Odd 
Fellow, and had been a member of Magnolia Lodge for thirty-two years.  He was 
also a member of Salem Encampment No. 5.  His remains will be interred in

same capacity to the Brooklyn Theatre, and served as Treasurer up to the time 
of her death.  He was engaged by Colonel William E. SINN as Treasurer of the 
Park Theatre for the session of 1880-81, but was obliged to retire in

between nine and ten o'clock last evening.  Two weeks ago he was given a 
vacation for a week, and while away from home he complained of indigestion.  
He returned to his residence a little more than a week ago, when he was 
attacked with paralysis of the brain, which made him unconscious, and he 
continued so until his death.  Mr. GUISCHARD was only 18 years of age when he 
went with his parents to live in Willamsburg.  He was for many years an 
active volunteer fireman, and joined the police force April 23, 1858, when 
John S. FOLK was Inspector of the Metropolitan Police in Brooklyn.  His 
father, Henry GUISCHARD, was Captain in the Eastern District under the old 
municipal police system and afterwards a court officer under Justice DAILY.  
Everybody in old Williamsburg knew "Pop" GUISCHARD.  His son William has been 
detailed the Mayor's office since 1866 and he served there with conspicuous 
fidelity under Mayors BOOTH, KALBREISCH, POWELL, HUNER, SCHROEDER, HOWELL and 
also since the commencement of Mayor Low's term of office.  He was 68 years 
of age.  His wife died many years ago, and his family consists of several 
grown sons and daughters.  Mayor LOW this morning expressed his regret and 
sorrow that the city, and especially the Mayor's office, had lost such a 
valuable officer.  He organized an efficient fire company in 1834 and some 
years later was made Chief of the Williamsburg Fire Department.  Still later 
he appears in the history of the rising of young town as Deputy Sheriff under 
Sheriff HODGES, and later still, Chief of Police under Mayor BERRY.  After 
the incorporation of Williamsburg with Brooklyn Mr. GUISCHARD was quite 
wealthy and leaves a family of grown up children.

DEATH OF AN OLD FERRY PILOT
       Captain John COLE, who for over forty years was a pilot on the boats 
of the Union Ferry Company, died yesterday at the residence of his son, John 
W. COLE, who has been a pilot on the South Ferry for about thirty years.  The 
old gentleman had not been in the employ of the ferry company for nearly 
twenty years, having lived at Coney Island near the creek, where he built 
small boats and fished for eels, which he sold to the hotel people at the 
Island.  Before he was a pilot on the Union Ferry he piloted a boat belonging 
to Commodore VANDERBILT from Staten Island to New York.  She carried the 
mails.  Piloting a boat in those days was a very different thing and much 
more laborious than it is now.  He and old Captain BAULSIR were pilots 
together on a ferryboat of the Union Company at the time the paddles were 
worked by a yoke of oxen going around on the deck.  The old gentleman always 
loved the water and never was so happy as when fishing or boating.  About two 
weeks ago he was taken sick and went to his son's home, 598 Fulton Street, 
where he received every attention until his death.  He was in his 82nd year.  
The funeral will take place to-morrow at 2 P.M. at the house, and will be

the shock within half an hour.

course of his remarks he said: "Our friend whose death we all mourn, was one 
who had the faculty of attaching all to him-both poor and rich.  He was a man 
of wise generosity which was united to a genial kindly disposition.  He had 
not an enemy in the world and his friends were legion.  Then, he was a man of 
such sterling worth and honorable conduct that he filled high places and 
fulfilled high offices with distinction to himself and credit to his friends. 
 He was a kind friend, a good citizen and a valuable officer, and combining 
such qualities he is a great loss to the community at large.  The remains 
were taken to Greenwood Cemetery.

rescued from drowning on Saturday last, died Monday and Dr. MCCAULEY, who

DEATH OF JOHN COULSON.  John COULSON, who yesterday morning shot himself at 
his residence in McComb Street, died last night from the effects of his 
self-inflicted injury.  He refused to the last to assign any motive for the 
act.  The weapon he used was a patent breech-loader shotgun manufactured by 
Robert Jones, an English maker and was loaded with a No. 9 cartridge.  The 
only person in the house when the shooting occurred besides COULSON was a man 
who is employed by him.  This man was in the habit of taking to Mr. COULTER's 
room every morning a newspaper.  He waited several hours beyond the usual 
time to be called by his employer yesterday and then went to the latter's 
room.  He found COULSON wounded as described yesterday.  Ambulance Surgeon 
MIRRTELEES and Dr. SHERMAN attended the wounded man, but could do no more 
than prolong his life a few hours.  COULSON came to America from England 
three years ago.  In the latter country he was engaged in the building of 
iron ships.  His widow and three children have been in ???? several weeks.  
COULSON is reported to have been wealthy.  Besides being a marine surveyor he 
was engaged in ship-buiding and had an office in Wall Street, New York.

DEATH OF DR. W. KNIGHT CRICK.  Dr. Wm. Knight CRICK, better known as Dr. 
KNIGHT, died on Thursday, after a lingering illness, at 324 Schermerhorn 
Street.  He was born forty-seven years ago in the centre of what is now 
Greenwood Cemetery.  At 14 he was about to enter the navy, when he was 
disabled by an accident, and he turned to the study of medicine.  At one time 
he kept a drug store at the corner of Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue.  He 
finally adopted music as a profession and took the degree of Mus. Doc.  He 
played almost all instruments, but the violin was his specialty.  For some 
time he led the orchestra at the Brooklyn Theatre, under Mrs. CONWAY.  He had 
great power of memory and of arrangement, which enabled him to write a score 
for a full band as fast as he could make the characters.  At the time of his 
death he was engaged on work for Arthur SULLIVAN.  A special musical service 
will be given at the funeral to-morrow at the Protestant Episcopal Church of 
the Redeemer, Fourth Avenue, near Flatbush Avenue.

18 September 1882
BEATEN TO DEATH-A woman's corpse, covered with a very ragged dress, lies on its back 
in the front room of the second floor of the old wooden three story tenement 
house in the rear of No. 98 North Fifth Street.  It is the body of Mary 
FLAHERTY, age 26, who was murdered by her husband yesterday afternoon.  The 
white face of the dead woman is smeared with blood, and bears bruise marks 
which have turned as black as charcoal, but a great three-cornered dent in 
the side of the left temple was evidently the death blow.
       The interior of the two small rooms in which James FLAHERTY and his 
wife lived is squalid in the extreme.  They had only dwelt there three weeks, 
yet the prevailing dirt seemed the accumulation of years.  A lounge without 
legs, a bed and mattress with only two or three slats and no coverlets, an 
old table and two chairs, and one or two dirty dishes comprised the interior 
furniture; and the floor was strewn with broken pieces of glass tumblers, and 
litter of every description.
       The occupants of the floors above and below the one on which the 
FLAHERTYS lived seemed to be indifferent regarding the murder, and were not 
aware that it had occurred until Officer YOUNG of the Fifth Precinct broke 
open the door last evening at ten o'clock, and found FLAHERTY in a drunken 
sleep on the lounge, and his wife dead some three feet away.  A bed slat, one 
end of which was covered with hair and blood, lay between them.
AN EYEWITNESS'S STORY
       Lizzie WILSON, a bright, intelligent girl of ten years, who lives with 
her mother in No. 98 in the rooms in which the Wallace wife murder took place 
months ago, told the Union-Argus reporter the following story:
       "I was standing at the back window upstairs (the second floor) 
yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, and saw Mr. FLAHERTY come out on the 
stoop.  He had a pipe in his mouth and seemed drunk by the way he walked.  He 
sat down on the stoop for a few minutes and then went into the house and took 
the broomstick and began to beat something on the floor.  I could not see 
what it was.  After a time he threw down the broomstick and picked up a bed 
slat, and struck several blows with that.  Then he stopped his growling and 
lay down on the lounge.  I couldn't see his wife, though I know it was her 
that he was beating.  I didn't hear her scream and I didn't hear him speaking 
to her.  I didn't see her walking about before he beat her, so I suppose she 
must have been lying on the floor all the time.  I told Mother, but she said, 
"Nonsense, child!'" 
       FLAHERTY is a short, stout man, aged 26 and has been married but a 
short time.  He is a coal heaver and drinks heavily.  His wife also drank, 
and the couple were continually quarreling.  FLAHERTY did not know til this 
morning that he had killed his wife.

ROME - On Sunday, September 17, 1882, William Morgan, third son of William M. 
and Sarah ROME, aged six years, eleven months and nine days.  Relatives and 
friends are invited to attend the funeral from the residence of his parents, 
108 Bridge Street, on Tuesday, September 19, at 9 P.M.

WILBUR - At Flatbush, L.I., on Saturday, 16 inst, Lionel A. WILBUR, in the 
forty-fourth year of his age.  Relatives and friends of the family are 
respectfully requested to attend his funeral from his late residence, 
Flatbush Avenue, Flatbush, on Tuesday, 19th inst., at three o'clock P.M.
(23 September 1882)
FLAHERTY MURDER A Girl Who Saw the Fatal Blow Struck
       An inquest was held yesterday afternoon by Coroner PARKER in Justice 
KENNA's Court room in Grand Street, E.D., into the cause of the death of Mrs. 
Mary FLAHERTY, who was killed by her husband, James FLAHERTY on Sunday last, 
at the residence of the couple, No. 98 North Fifth Street, E.D.
       Theresa BRADY, sister of deceased, who lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey, 
testified that Mrs. FLAHERTY and her husband did not live happy together, and 
that the prisoner frequently beat his wife.  He drank heavily and once when 
she accused him of being intimate with other women threatened to kill her.  
The witness was ignorant of the cause of her sister's death.
       Officer Thomas YOUNG, of the Fifth Precinct, testified:  On Sunday 
night last while walking through Fourth Street towards North Fifth, a young 
girl came to me and said she thought a woman had been murdered in the 
apartments occupied by FLAHERTY and his wife.  I saw Mrs. FLAHERTY lying on 
the floor and her husband lying on a lounge, asleep.  I arrested the latter 
and then returned to the house, where I found a bed slat covered with blood.  
There was blood on the mattress and the floor of the bedroom and front room.  
Mrs. FLAHERTY's head was against the jamb of the door.  FLAHERTY's pants were 
covered with blood.
       Mrs. Catharine NOLAN, who occupies apartments over those in which the 
prisoner and his wife lived, testified:  I saw Mrs. FLAHERTY sitting at the 
bottom of the stairs leading to her apartments about seven o'clock last 
Sunday evening.  Two hours later Mrs. LYNCH told me she was dead.  I told her 
I did not believe it, and that they, the FLAHERTYs had been drinking all 
Saturday and were probably sleeping it off.  I heard no noise.  Three men 
went into the apartments of deceased on Saturday night and a great deal of 
noise was made.  I saw FLAHERTY on Sunday, but could not say he was 
intoxicated.  I never saw him strike his wife.  The latter was singing on Sunday.
       Mrs. Ann LYNCH, who lives at the corner of North Fifth and Third 
Streets, testified:  I knew Mrs. FLAHERTY, but have no knowledge of what 
occurred on Sunday evening last.  I was sitting at my door when a little boy 
told me a woman was dead in the rear house.  I ran in and saw Mrs. FLAHERTY 
lying on the floor dead in the rear of the house.   Her husband lay on a 
lounge asleep.  I did not hear Mr. and Mrs. FLAHERTY quarreling that day.   
Mrs. FLAHERTY told my mother that her husband beat her.  I have seen her with 
a black eye.  I never saw FLAHERTY intoxicated.  Mrs. FLAHERTY's body was 
cold when I found her.  
       Elizabeth WILSON, aged 12 years, who lives at No. 98 North Fifth 
Street, testified:  I was standing at a rear window of my house on Sunday 
afternoon and saw Mr. FLAHERTY strike his wife with a broomstick and a bed 
slat; after striking her with the bed slat he came outside and sat on a 
chair;  shortly after he went in and closed the door.  He was in the kitchen 
when he struck his wife.  The latter did not make any outcry.  I never saw 
FLAHERTY drunk.
       Bernard KEENAN, of North Third and Second streets, testified:  I 
visited Mr. and Mrs. FLAHERTY last Sunday morning; the latter was in bed and 
the former in the kitchen.  Mrs. FLAHERTY spoke to me, and her husband said 
she had given him no dinner; He did not strike her while I was there; he 
never did in my presence, but I have heard that he beat her.
       While the girl WILSON was testifying, Constable W.E.S. CRANE, foreman 
of the jury questioned her as though he had been engaged to defend the 
prisoner. He was sharply rebuked by Coroner PARKER.  The jury gave the 
following verdict:
       Mrs. FLAHERTY came to her death by concussion of the brain, 
superinduced by injuries received at the hands of her husband James FLAHERTY, 
said injuries being inflicted on Sunday, Sept. 17, 1882.
       FLAHERTY, after stating that he was 30 years of age, a laborer, and 
that he knew nothing of the charge, was committed to await the action of the Grand Jury.

19 September 1882
Mr. Charles C. BETTS, who had been a resident of this city nearly half 
a century, and for many years was connected with the Brooklyn City Railroad, 
died yesterday at his home, 1292 Fulton Street near Nostrand avenue, aged 74 
years.  Before coming to this city he was in the wholesale grocery business 
in New York.  Ever since he lived in Brooklyn he resided within a radius of 
200 feet of where he died.  The locality was known at one time as the village 
of Bedford.  He represented the Ninth Ward years ago in the Common Council 
and was afterwards Comptroller of the city.  He became connected with the 
City Railroad at the time of its organization in 1854, and worked out a plan 
for keeping the accounts.  He was a director of the company for more than 
twenty years.  In 1858 he was elected President and again in 1880, which 
position he held up to December last.  In the interval between serving as 
President he held the positions of Secretary and Treasurer.  In June last, 
Mr. BETTS was taken sick and an inquiry was held as to the state of his mind, 
resulting in a decision that he was no longer capable of managing his own 
affairs, and trustees were appointed for that purpose.  He died very wealthy. 
 The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock from his 
late residence.

THE BOLDT'S GROVE SHOOTING - A Coroner's Jury Finds Samuel SUMMERS the Guilty 
Man - No Motive Shown - A Mysterious Case
The circumstances of the death of Henry P. JOSEPH, who was shot and 
killed at Boldt's Grove, Coney Island, on the 10th inst. were last night 
inquired into by Coroner KELLER at his office in the Court House, and 
resulted in Samuel SUMMERS, the colored man who is alleged to have done the 
shooting, being held.  The testimony showed that Joseph had hired the chowder 
bar at the grove where a picnic was being held for the evening, and that 
while he was stooping to get some crackers he was shot.
       Elvina BENSON and James H. WILLIAMS testified that they saw SUMMERS 
discharge a pistol in the direction in which JOSEPH stood, taking deliberate 
aim.  No motive, however, for the shooting was shown, and there had been no 
quarrel at the grove during the evening.  All that could be learned was that 
SUMMERS had been employed by JOSEPH to assist him at the chowder bar during 
the picnic.  The jury decided that JOSEPH's death was due to shock and 
hemorrhage following a bullet wound, which bullet was discharged from a 
pistol in the hands of Samuel SUMMERS, a colored man, at Boldt's Grove, Coney 
Island, on September 9, 1882.

DIED IN THE PENITENTIARY - Warden GREEN's Allegation About Police Magistrates 
and Justice WALSH's Explanation - The Case of Patrick FOX
       Patrick FOX was yesterday committed to the Penitentiary for three 
months by Justice WALSH for vagrancy.  Twenty minutes after he arrived he 
died.  His death was probably due to alcoholism.  Warden GREEN says that men 
and women who ought to be sent to a hospital are frequently committed to the 
Penitentiary, and that only a few days since Justice NAEHER sent him a man 
who was suffering from a well developed case of small pox.  Justice WALSH 
said today that the officer who arrested FOX stated that the latter was able 
but unwilling to work and that he was merely suffering from the effects of 
drink, from which he would probably recover in a day or two.  For that reason 
FOX was sent to the Penitentiary and not the Almshouse.  Justices have no 
power to commit to a hospital, and besides, there is an institution of that 
kind connected with the Penitentiary.  Coroner KELLER will hold an inquest on 
FOX's body after a post-mortem examination has been made. 

The Inquest Held Last Night by Coroner KELLER - The Railroad Company 
Exonerated.An inquest was held last night by Coroner KELLER, in the case of the 
death of Mrs. Julia A. QUEVEDO, who was killed by a Manhattan Beach Railroad 
train on the 13th inst., near Gravesend.
       Robert PATERSON, the flagman, gave testimony in accordance with his 
story, as already published, which was to the effect that he saw Mrs. QUEVEDO 
walking towards the track and signaled her to wait.  He then turned to signal 
the train and after having done so saw Mrs. QUEVEDO on the track directly in 
front of the train.
       Robert  DALY and Nellie MACK, who saw the accident, corroborated PATERSON.
       Horton STRONG, the engineer, testified that the flagman gave him the 
signal that "it was all right" and directly after the fireman called to him 
to "look out for the woman."  The brakes were applied, but Mrs. QUEVEDO was 
struck by the cowcatcher and thrown into the ditch.
       Thomas BISSERT, the fireman, Wm. A. WATERS, the conductor, John TORPY 
and Francis G QUEVEDO, son of deceased, also gave testimony, after which the 
jury retired and prepared the following verdict;
       We find that Julia A. QUEVEDO came to her death by being accidentally 
struck by a locomotive of the Manhattan Beach Railroad Company at the Old 
Coney Island House car crossing.  We exonerate the said Manhattan Beach 
railroad Company and all its employees from all blame in the matter.

TROUBLE AND DRINK, FOLLOWED BY POISON - A Case for the Coroner to Investigate.
       Hiram BAKER, of No. 228 Schermerhorn Street, died yesterday from the 
effects of a self-administered dose of carbolic acid taken with the evident 
desire to end his life.  BAKER's wife has been ill for some time and on 
Monday night grew worse.Dr. A.W. SHEPHERD was called to attend her, and just 
after he had left the house BAKER went up stairs, secured the bottle which 
contained the acid and drank off its contents.  He lived until yesterday.
       A police officer was sent to the house today to make inquiries 
concerning the matter and was refused information of any kind.  A reporter 
who called at the house was refused even the name of the man, which up to 
that time had not been given to the police.  It is known that BAKER had been 
drinking heavily of late, and that fact and grief about the illness of his 
wife are supposed to be the reasons for his act.  A grocer on the corner of 
Bond and Schermerhorn Streets said to a reporter to day that Baker purchased 
some chopped meat for his wife on Monday night, and that he was then under 
the influence of liquor.

26 September 1882
Tragedy in a Hicks Street Tenement Last Night
       A murder, which was the result of a woman's objections to having her 
apartments used for improper purposes, occurred last night in Hicks Street.  
The murderer, who is 38 years of age and an Englishman, was more or less 
under the influence of liquor when he struck the fatal blow, and his victim 
was in a similar condition.  The facts in the case are as follows:
       George THOMPSON lives with his wife and two children on the fourth 
floor of No. 362 Hicks Street.  He was formerly employed by Michael CONNORS, 
a barber, who lives at No. 41 Washington Street, New York.  The latter is 
also married and has two children.  On Wednesday of last week, CONNORS called 
on his former employee and remained there up to last night.  Stopping with 
the THOMPSONS temporarily were two women named Maria AMPOTHER and Agnes 
FITZSIMMONS and with the former, it is said, CONNORS and become very intimate.
       All the parties had been drinking freely during the day and evening, 
as indeed they had since CONNORS first came to the house and were at least 
partly under the influence of liquor and quarrelsome.  In the course of the 
evening the subject of CONNORS' intimacy with the woman referred to above was 
broached and Mrs. THOMPSON, as is said objected to its continuance any longer 
beneath her roof.  This aroused bad blood immediately, and all became engaged 
in a wordy warfare.  Thompson failed to agree with his wife's sentiments, and 
after he had abused her by word of mouth struck her with his fist.  CONNORS 
here arose and stepped in between the pair ro defend Mrs. THOMPSON from her 
drunken husband's wrath, when the latter seized a small table knife which lay 
on the table and plunged it into CONNORS' neck severing his jugular vein.
       The wounded man fell to the floor, the blood rushing in a stream from 
the wound.  Thompson became alarmed at the sight of his victim as he lay 
gasping and bleeding and hastily locking the door he made his way to the 
street, leaving his wife and the other women to see CONNORS breathe his last, 
which he did in a few minutes.  THOMPSON went along Hicks Street to Pacific, 
hatless, but stopped at the corner mentioned and secured of a grocer doing 
business there, with whom he was acquainted, an old derby hat, first making 
the excuse that he had lost his own.  Then he went to the river, and crossing 
to New York made his way to CONNOR's shop, in Washington Street, and lay down 
in the hall and went to sleep.
       Soon after the murderer had left his apartments, his wife and the 
other women, sobered by the sight of CONNORS lying in a pool of his own 
blood, and now thoroughly alarmed, attempted to make their exit for the 
purpose of notifying the police of what had taken place.  The door was 
locked, however, but by force they succeeded in opening it, and took word of 
what had occurred to Sergeant MCCULLOUGH who was at the desk at the Third 
Sub-Precinct Station.  The ambulance was summoned, and Surgeon BUCKMASTER 
responded, but before he reached the house CONNORS had died.  Then Officer 
John DORAN, who knew THOMPSON, was sent out with Detectives LOONEY and DALY 
to search for the fugitive.  They went to New York and found him asleep in 
the hall adjoining CONNORS' shop.  He was brought to this city and locked up. 
 The three women were held as witnesses.  Coroner KELLER to-day impaneled a 
jury in the case and adjourned the inquest until Thursday next.
  
JAMES WARREN ON TRIAL FOR THE KILLING OF HIS WIFE
       James WARREN was on trial this morning in the Court of Sessions for 
manslaughter in causing the death of his wife Ann by beating her.  The couple 
resided at 59 North Tenth Street, E.D.  The assault, which is charged Warren 
made upon his wife, was committed on the night of June 4.  The woman did not 
die til a week later.  The evidence showed that Mrs. WARREN had complained to 
some of her relatives that her husband abused her, and on the Sunday of the 
beating her nephew, one PATTERSON, and her sister-in-law, Mrs.KIRKPATRICK, 
visited her.  The last names testified that PATTERSON found fault with WARREN 
for misusing his wife.  WARREN turned to his wife, according to the witness, 
and said: "Mrs. WARREN that's the last of you," and made a kick at her.  He 
brought out a pistol and threatened PATTERSON for interfering.  Then the 
quarrel was patched up and WARREN asked PATTERSON to have some been.  A son 
of the accused named Charles testified that late that night his father and 
mother quarreled and his father struck her with the back of his hand and then 
kicked her on the leg.  The next day WARREN sent for Mrs. KIRKPATRICK.  She 
found Mrs. WARREN in bed and she was bruised and complained of her head and 
died the following Sunday.  An examination showed that there was some injury 
to the brain.  WARREN on the witness stand admitted having slapped his wife 
but nothing more.  He testified that she had been irregular in her habits for 
some time before her death and drank freely.  Case still on.  

A PREMATURE DISCHARGE AT CASTLE WILLIAM
       In returning the salute of the French frigate La Minerve on Governor's 
Island, yesterday morning, two guns were prematurely discharged, resulting in 
the death of Private John MALEY, of Battery H, and in the serious injury of 
Private WHELAN, Private SYDNEY, Private CUNIS and Corporals GRACE, of Battery 
A, and IRVIN, of Battery H.  At the time of the accident, the gun had in each 
case just been run in and the loading begun.  Private MALEY, who was No. 1 of 
Battery H, was thus standing at the mouth of his gun ramming down the 
cartridge, with him being CUNIS, who was No. 2.  At the other piece Privates 
WHELAN and SYDNEY, Nos. 1 and 2, were at the muzzle.  Corporals GRACE and 
IRVIN, the two gunners, were both standing on the trail with their thumbs on 
the vent holes, as is customary.  From the injuries of the men, if from 
nothing else, it is quite evident that they were all at their posts, and 
Lieutenant MASSEY is satisfied that there was no carelessness.
       As to the cause of the accident several theories are advanced.  
Lieutenant MASSEY's opinion is that the strong wind must have blown some 
lighted wadding back into the mouths of the guns and ignited the cartridges 
when they were rammed in.  There is also a probability that the guns might

       Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the murder of 
Michael O'CONNOR, the New York barber, who was killed by George THOMPSON at 
the latter's residence, No. 362 Hicks Street, on Monday last.  Agnes 
FITZSIMMONS, one of the women who were present at the time of the stabbing, 
testified that THOMPSON, for some reason unknown to her, struck his wife.  
O'CONNOR interfered and he and THOMPSON clinched.  During the struggle the 
stabbing took place.  Previous to this THOMPSON had locked the door and 
placed the key in his pocket.  The witness said she wished to leave the house 
as there were no accommodations for her.  She had been sleeping with Mrs. 
THOMPSON while O'CONNOR and Maria MAYPOTHA roomed together.  THOMPSON slept 
on the floor.  
       The MAYPOTHA woman testified that all hands were more or less under 
the influence of liquor, and when THOMPSON attempted to strike his wife 
O'CONNOR stepped between them.  She did not know the cause of the trouble 
between the THOMPSONS.  She did not see the stabbing.
       Mrs. THOMPSON swore that her husband struck her because she refused to 
drink beer.  O'CONNOR stepped between them, and they struggled until they got 
to the bedroom where they fell with THOMPSON on top.  Previous to the Scuffle 
THOMPSON said he would kill either his wife or O'CONNOR.  While the men were 
on the floor Mrs. OCONNOR exclaimed "George, are you going to injure the best 
friend you ever had."  The witness did not see the stabbing.
       Officer RELIHAN and Detective DALY  testified as to the arrest of 
THOMPSON and the result of the post-mortem examination as made by Dr. A.W. 
SHEPARD was read.
       The jury gave the following verdict:  Michael O'CONNOR came to his 
death from internal hemorrhage, caused by a stab wound inflicted with a knife 
in the hands of George THOMPSON.  THOMPSON was held for the Grand Jury.

his Body-No Satisfactory Casue Given for the Rash Act.
     THEODORE STEINS,aged 21, carriage painter, residing on the second floor 
of the three-story tenement No.11 Graham Avenue, E.D., shot himself several 
times with a revolver of small calibre, shortly after ten o'clock yesterday 
morning; died within an hour.
     Mrs. STEINS said to a Union-Argus reporter this morning; "My husband 
went out as soon as he got up yesterday.  He came back about ten o'clock and 
went in the bedroom.  I looked at him and saw him putting cartridges in his 
revolver.  He pointed at me, and I ran away into the front room.  He didn't 
speak.  I looked over my shoulder and saw him turn the muzzle towards 
himself. He fired three shots and then staggered forward towards me, with the 
revolver in his hand and his head all blood.  He said: 'Give me the child.  I 
snatched up the child and ran away,screaming.  Then he fell."
     On the unfortunate man's body were found seven bullet marks although his 
wife speaks of only three shots.  Two of the balls are in the fleshy part of 
the left arm, three in the forehead and temple; one over the heart and one in 
the lower part of the face.
     Dr.CREAMER will make a post-mortem examination today, and Coroner PARKER 
will hold inquest as soon as possible.  The widow has gone to live with her 
relatives.
     Various theories are advanced as to the cause of the act.  The widow and 
the deceased's sister say that it was mental aberration caused by overwork 
and worry.  Some of the neighbors say it was domestic disagreement and jealousy.

B. HALL
     The Board of Trustees of the Hemosopathic Hospital held a memorial 
service of Dr. ALBERT E. SUMNER, yesterday in the chapel of the hospital,

     The front seats were occupied by the widow of deceased, his mother, 
brother and other members of the family.   
     Rev. CHARLES B. HALL, rector of Holy Trinity, delivered the memorial 
address. He went back to 1840, the year the late Dr. SUMNER was born, and 
gave a sketch of Hartford and some of the prominent people who lived there at 
that time.  Hartford then was steady dignified place-a rare old town to be 
born in.  The town, he said, makesa largely the chararcter of the home and 
the home the character of the boy.  It was as a boy Dr. Sumner's character 
was moulded.  He went to Trinity College but did not fairly begin to work 
till he came to New York, where he studied medicine.  He was industrious, 
shrewd and witty, and quickly rose in his profession.  He (Dr. HALL) did not 
propose to to into the various parts of deceased's character:suffice it to 
say, it was a character they all loved.  His work at St. Mary's Hospital, the 
Maternity and the Homosopathic Hospital they were all acquainted with.  His 
works were the signs and agrguments of the kind of man he was.  He was taken 
off all too soon, for  there was more work for his busy mind here.

He writes a Forgiving Farewell Letter to Her and Puts it in his Pocket Before 
He Kills Himself.
     An inquest was held by Coroner PARKER yesterday on the body of Theodore 
STEINS who committed suicide on Sunday last at No.11 Graham avenue.  The jour 
brought in a verdict "that deceased came to his death by shooting himself 
with a revolver on the 1st inst., while suffering under severe distress."
     The following letter was found in STEINS' pocket after the commission of 
the deed, and was concealed by his wife until the inquest brought it out:
THE LAST EPISTLE.
Dear Beloved Wife:
     "God forgive me in this act I am about to commit.  I am tired and weary 
of life as I am not thought enough of by you, to walk the street with other 
people is more to you than I am, my child is even torn away from me on the 
street which makes my heart bleed.  God only knows I have been trying my best 
to do for my family we have lived unhappy for some time by listening to other 
people.  God only knows I wanted to live happy the rest of our lives but you 
say you hated me so.  I don't see why I should live any.  If I have done 
anything to you I wish you and the world to forgive me, don't take this to 
heart but lead a good and upright life for our child's sake, it seems hard to 
part from one another now when we are going away from this world  you can 
enjoy yourself with those people that you have been going out, all I ask from 
you is to bury the baby and me together where my father lies and make no 
expense for us but put us in a plain box and take us to Philadelphia. It 
seems hard to TAKE THE BABY'S LIFE
but I don't want it knocked around by other people. Tell my mother and all my 
sisters I bid them farewell forever and dear wife farewell.  if I die alone 
put a plain board over my grave with this inscription."
     Here the epistie, which was written in a plain, steady hand, suddenly 
stopped.  The people who lived underneath the STEINS during their residence 
at 11 Graham avenue, said that the couple never quarreled or showed signs of 
unhappiness. Mrs. STEINS went out a good deal.  Mr. STEIN was good, quiet, 
industrious man.
     The suicide's body was sent to Philadelphia to-day.  Mrs. Stein and her 
child have gone to live with her mother.

servant at the hotel.  HAITKE was 23 years of age.  They went to the hotel at 
about midnight last night and were assigned to Room No.29.  They signed the 
register, or rather one signed for both, but the writing is so poor that the 
names cannot be read.  As place of residence they gave "Oxford".  Their names 
were given Coroner KELLER this morning by HIESKE'S sister.  Mr. John

the door, the room was entered by opening the fanlight.  Both men were found 
in bed and quite dead.  The window was closed tight and

been in this country about a year and a half and had been working in a mine

on the floor dead. Her face was covered with bruises and the exposed parts of
her body showed marks of violence. Father GALLAGHER was told that on Tuesday
night Mrs. BARR was severely beaten by her husband. The clergyman went to the
Second Precinct Police Station and notified Acting Captain EASON, who sent
Roundsman McCARTY and Officer TEURONE to the house to make an investigation.
It is a three story brick tenement and the BARRS live on the third floor,
occupying two rooms in the rear. There are two other families on the same
floor. The dead body of Mrs. BARR lay on the floor in the middle of the room.
The furniture consisted of a table, three chairs and a stove. There was no
carpet on the floor and no bedding of any kind in either room. Mamie BARR, the
twelve-year-old daughter of the dead woman, sat in a corner of the room in
tears. To the officers she said that on Tuesday evening last her father and
mother were intoxicated and the former inclined to be ugly. Mrs. BARR
aggravated her husband by tantalizing him and he struck her with his fist and
knocked her down. Then he kicked her about the body in a most brutal manner.
He left the house then and purchased more liquor. Mrs. BARR became very ill
and complained of pains in her stomach. On the following day Mrs. BARR told an
old woman named Mary SULLIVAN, who lived in the neighborhood that her husband
had beaten her and showed her her bruises. BARR on getting some whiskey and
drinking it in the house left.
   Roundsman McCARTY learned that BARR was employed at HARBECK�s stores and
found him at work in the grain elevator. When placed under arrest, BARR denied
that he had kicked his wife. He said that she was subject to fits and when
suffering from them had a habit of jumping from tables and chairs and injured
herself by the falls. In that way he accounted for the marks on her face and
body. He was taken to the Station-house and locked up.
   The BARRS have for years been a dissipated couple and lived in extreme
poverty and filth. They have two children, one the 12 year old daughter
referred to above and another girl of 17 years who lives out. The husband was
insane for several years and was confined in the Flatbush Asylum. A year ago
he was released upon being pronounced cured. He has been arrested many times
for intoxication. About ten years ago he and his wife were arrested on a
charge of having poured kerosene oil on a female neighbor and set fire to her
clothing from the effects of which the woman subsequently died. It was shown
at the time that the BARRS emptied a kerosene oil can on the woman�s clothing.
The testimony otherwise was conflicting. Mr. and Mrs. BARR claiming that the
woman was drunk and fell upon the stove. They denied that they placed her on
the stove and said that she was so much intoxicated that in walking across the
floor she staggered against it and fell. They were not held on the charge. At
this time they lived in Front street.
   BARR was this morning committed by Justice WALSH to await the result of the
Coroner�s inquest. His daughter Mamie was in the court and for the time being
will be taken care of by neighbors. Mrs. BARR was 40 years of age. Dr. A. W.
SHEPARD, physician to the Coroner, will make a post-mortem examination.

4 November 1882
   At the Coroner�s inquest this morning on the late Mrs. Rose BARR, of

Mr. Chauncey M. FELT, at one time a well-known businessman and a prominent
Republican, died at his residence, No. 65 Schenectady avenue, between
half-past twelve and one o�clock this morning. He had been in ill-health for a
long time and while his death was sudden, it was not unexpected. He was able
to be about as late as Tuesday night last and paid a visit to Police
Headquarters to listen to the reading of the election returns. He was for many
years the senior member of the firm of FELT & GERMAN, coal dealers, of Ninth
street and Gowanus Canal, and did an extensive business. Of late years,
however, he had been considerably reduced in circumstances. In politics he was
a pronounced Republican and received several local nominations. In 1871 he was
a candidate for County Auditor against Maurice FITZGERALD and was declared
defeated, but many of his friends still believe that he was elected to the
office. In 1877 he was a candidate for the same office and this time was
defeated by FITZGERALD. He was also beaten for Charity Commissioner in 1875 by
C.J. HENRY. Twenty years ago he lived in the Twelfth Ward, when he was one of
four Republicans living in the Ward.  Subsequently he changed his place of
residence to the Sixth Ward and two years ago to the Twenty-fourth Ward, where
he resided up to the time of his death. For some time he was treasurer of the
Brooklyn Yacht Club and the owner of two yachts. He was a most genial
companion and was respected and admired by a large circle of acquaintances. He
was 47 years of age and leaves a widow and three children.

A Blow on the Head-Sudden Death of a Boy after being Struck
Serious Charge Against A Workman in a Glass House-The Accused�s Statement-A
Postmortem Examination Ordered
   Constable John ?SMUSS, [ESMUSS or OSMUSS], of the Fifth Ward, yesterday
afternoon told Coroner KELLER that a 15 year old boy, named James KELLY, had
died during the day at the residence of his parents, No. 21 Navy street and
that no physician had been called to see him in his illness which was very
brief. The mother of the boy at first said that her son had merely complained
of a headache on Thursday night and that he left home at six o�clock to go to
business as usual. At nine o�clock the boy returned and said he was sick. He
went to bed and at half-past one o�clock Mrs. KELLY went to call him. He did
not respond, however, whereupon she shook him, but with the same result.
Becoming alarmed she sent for Dr. BODKIN, who upon examining the boy found
that life was extinct. With much difficulty and after asking many questions as
to if the boy had fallen or been struck, Coroner KELLER finally obtained from
Mrs. KELLY the following story.
   On Thursday night when her son came home he complained of a pain in the
head and said he had been struck on the head by Patrick WALSH, a workman in
the glass works, with an iron bar. The boy said that a lamp belonging to WALSH
had been broken and the latter accused him of having thrown something at it.
This KELLY denied and had some words with WALSH which resulted in the latter
striking him on the head with an iron bar. WALSH is a 'gaffer" and KELLY his
helper. Coroner KELLER notified the Second Precinct police and Acting Captain
EASON sent Roundsman McCARTY and Officer CARRICIOLA out to find WALSH. They
ascertained that the latter lived at No. 165 Franklin street, Greenpoint,
where they arrested him. WALSH denied that he struck KELLY on the head, but
admitted that he hit him on the shoulder. He is spoken of as a peaceable,
quiet man by his fellow-workmen and a man of mild temper. Coroner KELLER, from
a superficial examination of the body, came to the conclusion that death was
due to violence, probably concussion of the brain. There were no marks visible
on the dead boy�s head. Dr. A.W. SHEPARD will make a post-mortem examination
of the body today. WALSH has been committed to await the result of the
Coroner�s inquest by Justice WALSH. [as recorded in the newspaper]

Four Lives Lost
Sinking of the Barge Saginaw last Evening by the Steamer 'City of Worcester'
The Captain�s Mother, Wife and Two Children Drowned
   About six o�clock last evening a collision occurred off the dock of South
Fifth street, Eastern District, between the Sound steamer City of Worcester,
bound out and the barge Saginaw, where by four lives were lost. The Saginaw
was bound out from the dock to Havemeyer & Eider�s sugar refinery at the foot
of North Fourth street in the tow of the tug S. J. Lenox. She was laden with
seven hundred barrels of sugar. She was being towed to the foot of
Thirty-third street, North River, New York, the tide being at strong ebb. As
she left the dock Mrs. TAYLOR, the mother of the Captain of the canal boat
(William TAYLOR), his wife, his two children and his deck-hand (Charles
SWANSON) went to the cabin to supper.
   The collision occurred just below the landing of the ferryboats of the
Grand street and the Roosevelt street lines. As only a slight shock was felt
on board the steamer, it was supposed by those on board that the collision
amounted to nothing and the steamer went on her way. The barge however had a
huge hole in her side and began rapidly to fill with water. The tugboat drew
the sinking barge a few hundred yards on her way, but when off the Cobb Dock
of the Navy Yard, the barge sunk in a few feet of water.
The Efforts to Save Life
   Those in charge of the tug observing the barge going down quickly turned
the vessel about and steamed in the direction of the sinking craft. Owing to
the darkness the men found it a difficult matter to distinguish objects on the
water, but hearing cries for help they followed them up and succeeded in
rescuing Captain TAYLOR. His mother, wife, two children and the deck-hand were
nowhere to be seen. Charles SWANSON, the deck hand, lived at 42 Grand street
Eastern District. His brother said last night Charles had been saved although
he had not then reached his home.
Captain TAYLOR�s Affliction
   Captain Wm. TAYLOR, who has suffered so severe a loss by the collision, is
an old boatman. He is about 45 years of age and formerly resided in Brooklyn.
His mother was quite aged, his wife about 35 years of age and his two children
about 6 and 8. For some time they have been living aboard the boat in which
they perished.
   The responsibility for the accident is not fixed, but it is thought that
both the pilot of the steamer and the captain of the barge miscalculated the
force of the tide and the current in trying to pass each other.
Mysterious Wreckage
   Between eight and nine o�clock last evening the inverted cabin of a barge
was seen floating in with the tide of the long wharf at Prentice�s Stores,
this city, from the direction of Governor�s Island. Captain KELLETT, of the
Congress street police and a squad of men raised the wreck from the water. Bed
clothing was found in the bunks. A large box directed to the Walker Hardware
Company, Peoria, Ill., was also found containing tin pails, cash boxes and
other light tinware. Several trunks were floating about in the place, but no
clew to the name of the barge could be found. A thorough search failed to
reveal any signs of anyone being drowned in the wreck.
Two Bodies Recovered
   The bodies of two women, supposed to be those of the wife and mother of
Captain TAYLOR, have been found at the Atlantic Dock. The former was picked up
at a quarter before eleven o�clock last night by Frank DERMODY and Roger
MALON, and the latter at four o�clock this morning by Henry DAILEY. Coroner
KELLER has taken charge of the bodies.

Bodies Identified
The Wife and Mother of the Captain of the Barge Saginaw, which was Sunk by
Collision
   The bodies of the two women which were found in the river off Prentice�s
Stores this morning were identified this afternoon by Captain TAYLOR, of the
barge Saginaw, sunk by collision last night, as those of his wife and mother.
The former was 47 years of age and the latter was aged 81 years. There was an
affecting scene when the recognition took place. Captain TAYLOR lost
everything he possessed in the world by the collision.
   Coroner KELLER today impanneled the following jury to serve at the inquest
which will be held in a few days: 
Henry HUME, 
S. J. BENNETT, 
A. H. KING,
Thomas W. WOODS, 
Wm. PETERS, 
Foster SWAN, 
Jesse A. CRANDALL, 
Edward J.SEYMOUR, and E. BENNETT.

Killed on the Track
Accident of the South Side Railroad Near Metropolitan Avenue-The Danger of
Walking on the Track
   Mr. Thomas REAMER of 401 Humboldt street, this city, was instantly killed
last evening by a locomotive while walking with his wife on the track of the
South Side Railroad near Metropolitan avenue. They had been to see a game of
base ball at the Flatbush Base-Ball Grounds and in returning home took the
railway track as the distance was less than a mile and the walking better than
on the ordinary road. The wind was blowing in their faces so that they did not
at first hear the train which had left Bushwick avenue at 4:10 coming up
behind them, and it was only when the engineer blew the whistle a second time
and rang the bell more violently that they were aware of their terrible
position. The train was then almost upon them. Mrs. REAMER threw herself to
one side, just in time to escape being crushed, but her husband seemed to lose
his presence of mind and ran at the top of his speed down the track. Though
the engineer applied the air-brakes he could not stop his train before it
overtook Mr. REAMER and striking, killed him. The train was then stopped and
the body put on board and taken to the Flushing avenue depot. The conductor
John D. RUNEVAN and the engineer P. KELLY, of the train, were arrested and
taken to the Eleventh Precinct Police Station to await the action of the
Coroner. Mrs. REAMER was taken to the house of a friend. Mr. REAMER had been
employed in Lord & Taylor�s Grand street store, New York, for the past
eighteen years and was chief cashier at the time of his death.

   Coroner PARKER yesterday afternoon held an inquest at the Thirteenth
Precinct Police Station in the matter of the death of Jeremiah CAVANAGH. The
latter was struck on the head with a brick in front of his saloon early in the
morning of the 13th inst., by James F. RILEY, from the effects of which he
died on the following day. The witnesses who testified at the inquest
yesterday were Terrence CLARK, Mary WALSH, Policeman BRADY and John PRITCHARD,
and through their statements the following facts were elicited:
   CAVANAGH, who was formerly a member of the police force, kept a saloon at
No. 713 Myrtle avenue. About one o�clock in the morning of the 13th inst.,
RILEY and several others were in the saloon. CAVANAGH drank brandy several
times with the customers. When under the influence of liquor, he was always
violent. Without cause he struck PRITCHARD and subsequently attacked RILEY,
who stood against a screen and had taken no part in a political conversation,
which was being carried on. CAVANAGH caught RILEY by the neck, swung him
around several times and threw him on the floor. The latter left the place
crying followed by CAVANAGH, who put a club in his pocket. PRITCHARD, however,
took the club away. On the street RILEY was seen by the witness PRITCHARD to
throw something at CAVANAGH. The latter afterwards said RILEY struck him with
a brick, but it was his own fault.
   The jury found that death was caused by a blow from a brick thrown by RILEY.

Annie SMITH�s Story
The Cause of the Fatal Quarrel Between George GRAVER and Frederick W. HUHN
Told at the Coroner�s Inquest
   Mrs. Annie SMITH of No. 62 Cook street, the only witness to the quarrel
between George GRAVER and Frederick W. HUHN on the 12th instant, which
resulted four days later in the latter�s death, yesterday afternoon told the
following story at the inquest which was held by Coroner PARKER:
   I stood in front of my residence No. 62 Cook street, between seven and
eight o�clock in the evening of the 12th inst., and saw GRAVER and HUHN coming
up Cook street. They halted on the way and GRAVER introduced HUHN to two men
whom they met. After standing for awhile, GRAVER walked away leaving HUHN with
the two men. HUHN afterwards came up to GRAVER and the latter said to him,
"what did you say anything about the 60 cents for?" HUHN replied that he meant
no harm and then GRAVER tripped him. The latter replied "You had no right to
speak about the 60 cents." HUHN said he would settle with GRAVER and the
latter said, "all right if you want to fight." GRAVER asked me to hold his
cane, and when I refused, he threw it away and struck HUHN in the face; the
latter returned the blow and the hat of each fell off. They picked them up and
GRAVER said to HUHN "I�ll knock spots out of you." To which the latter replied
"You want to try it first." GRAVER asked HUHN to come up a little farther and
the latter said no, to stay where they were. GRAVER said, "Let�s take our hats
off" and just as HUHN raised his hand to remove his hat, struck him and HUHN
fell back on his head on the sidewalk.
   Caraline DOERFLER and Barbara DREITLEIN gave testimony concerning HUHN�s
attempt to kiss the latter, which was thought to have been the cause of the
quarrel and Thomas DUGAN and George KIESLING to carrying HUHN home.
   The jury decided that HUHN�s death was due to compression of the brain
superinduced by injuries received by a fall after having been struck by George
GRAVER, while both were fighting.

City Hospital, testified as to the cause of death, and Cornelius WARD to the
fight. Cornelius WARD testified that Officer CROWE fired first into Frank
FURRIE�s basement and then at the sidewalk. Just as TUORZO approached the
officer to strike him, FURRIE fired a shot at CROWE. Mary MACARELLE and

severely censure three passengers who were on the front platform of the car
for lack of common humanity displayed on that occasion, and we recommend that

DIED IN A HACK
Wm. C. THORPE's Death While Journeying from this City to New York --
A Hackman's Startling Discovery.
Wm. C. THORPE, who lived with his widowed mother at No. 230 Ross street,
E.D., and for a number of years was in the employ of the municipal government,
was last night found dead in a coach in New York in which he had been driven
from this city.  He was employed under Register of Arrears O'KEEFE and
resigned some moths since.  Subsequently he was appointed an expert in the
same department and performed his duty at night.  Yesterday afternoon,
shortly before five o'clock he called at the Municipal Building and together 
with Daniel SMITH, who is an employe of the Arrears office left the building.  
SMITH returned alone after a few minutes and THORPE went to Wm. O'BRIEN's Liquor
Saloon, corner of Fort Greene place and Fulton street.  Just previous to 
this, the bootblack in the Municipal Building, who was acquainted with both 
THORPE and Smith, wrote a note to the latter and signed it with THORPE's name, 
in which SMITH was requested to "come outside and meet THORPE."  While SMITH was
in the act of berating the bootblack for his joke, THORPE came along and the
two went out.  The latter went to O'BRIEN's to meet Alderman O'CONNELL 
through whom he expected to obtain a position.  He remained there, the 
bartender says, from a quarter-past five o'clock until ten minutes past six.  He was 
somewhat under the influence of liquor but able to walk without danger of
falling.  He got into a coach which he had ordered at Hudson's stables in
De Kalb avenue and told the driver to take him to No. 624 Third avenue, New
York.  When the house name was reached, the driver opened the door and 
found that his passenger was dead.  The police were notified and the body
removed to the Thirty-fifth Street Police Station.  Subsequently a well 
dressed young woman, accompanied by an elder one, visited the station and identified
the body.  The younger one said that THORPE had been visiting her for some
time.  Death is supposed to have resulted either from heart disease or 
apoplexy.Arthur BARRY, the driver of the coach, said this morning, that he did not see
THORP from the time he got into the coach until he reached the house in
Third avenue.  BARRY paid the fare at the ferry.

11 December 1882
Jane CONNOR
The lighter, Sarah Elizabeth, Captain Henry WILLIAMS, is lying at the
foot of Joralemon street.  About eleven o'clock on Saturday night,
WILLIAMS, accompanied by a woman whom, he says, he knew by the
name of Jane WILLIAMS, attempted to board the boat by gangplank.  Both
were intoxicated and fell into the river.  The watchman at Woodruff &
Robinson's Stores, assisted by Thomas JONES, of No. 93 Oliver street,
New York, watchman of a vessel lying close by, saved WILLIAMS, but
the woman was drowned.  Complaint is to be made against WILLIAMS for
causing the woman's death.  WILLIAMS is married and lives at No. 18 
Carroll street, this city.
Commanding Sergeant KELLETT learned to-day that the name of the
woman was Jane CONNOR, aged 45 years, who had two daughters and
a brother-in-law living in Brooklyn.  Her husband, John CONNOR, became

Dr. AYRE was admitted to the Home on October 24, 1882, being addicted
to the opium habit.  He was a physician, 58 years of age, married, and a
resident of Nashua, New Hampshire.  He had eaten no opium since
November 5.  He had been a hypochondriac for years; he had been in our
hospital department ever since his admission to the Home; I last saw him
alive on Thursday; I was in the hospital that afternoon and he was in his 
room, his door being closed; I went to New York, and at a quarter past seven o'clock
received a telegram to come right over to the Home; when I arrived I was told
that he was dead; I found him lying on his left side on the bed, with his head
towards the foot of the bed; there was a razor on the bed and a cut on the
left side of his neck; blood was on the bed and floor in large quantities; he
had a razor when he was admitted to the Home, but it was taken from him;
the razor which he used, I am informed, belonged to one of the attendants
and was locked up in a drawer in a bureau in the dead man's room; death 
resulted from hemorrhage due to the wound in the neck.
George DOWNING, an attendant at the Home testified to finding Dr. AYRE
dead in bed with the razor by his side.  He though the doctor get the razor
by moving the marble slab from the top of the bureau.  Dr. AYRE had an
idea that there was something the matter with his stomach, but that was not
borne out by facts.
The jury decided that death was caused by hemorrhage, due to a wound in
the neck, inflicted by deceased to destroy his life.
The body has been sent to the home of the family of the deceased.  He was
very wealthy, having of late years abandoned the calling of a physician and
engaged in the manufacture of spools for cotton.  He had a number of 
imaginary troubles which first led him to take opium, and the practice finally
grew to be a habit which he could not resist.  He leaves a widow and a grown
up son, who called at the Home the day before his father's death to see the latter.

SERIOUS CHARGES
The Allege Ill Treatment of the Late Sergeant BATTERSBY of the
Flatbush Lunatic Asylum -- Investigation by a Post of the G.A.R.
A committee of six members of Mansfield Post, G.A.R., met at the house
of the late Sergeant BATTERSBY in Greenpoint last evening to investigate
ill treatment at the Lunatic Asylum at Flatbush, which his widow alleges
was the immediate cause of his death.  Counsellor H. M. DAVIS occupied
the chair.  The evidence of Dr. SWEENEY and a number of others witnesses
who had examined the body was listened to.
Mrs. BATTERSBY's statement was to the effect that when on Saturday last,
she visited her husband at the Asylum, she found him lying uncared for and
comfortless on a rough bed with his clothing torn.  He held his hands over
his head and piteously beseeched her not to strike him; he was covered 
with bruises.  She removed him immediately though not without words with
the authorities who threatened to put her in a cell.
Other witnesses, among whom was Dr. SWEENEY, testified to the bruised
condition of the deceased's body.
Dr. SHAW, the Superintendent of the Asylum, says, in reply to Mrs.
BATTERSBY's charges, that she refused to listen to reason in the matter
of taking her husband home in a dying state, and behaved in so excitable,
a manner that he had told her if she went on in that way he would have to
keep her as a patient; but he did not, of course, mean this in seriousness.
He denied any ill treatment of the deceased on behalf of himself and his assistants.

OUT OF THE HOSPITAL
CELESTIAL JEFFERSON, the brother of the Buffalo avenue murderer, was
yesterday afternoon discharged from the Homeopathic Hospital and taken
in charge by Police Captain FOLK, who held him as a witness in the case.
This morning JEFFERSON and the woman JULIET JACKSON, who escaped
uninjured from the scene of the tragedy, were taken to Police Headquarters
and had conversation with Superintendent CAMPBELL.  JEFFERSON said
that his brother first stood upon a stone in front of the window and aimed a
gun at him.  Not being satisfied with his position, he stepped to the ground 
and fired both barrels of the gun almost simultaneously.  Then he entered the 
house and went towards the bedroom where the women had taken refuge, with the
exception of JULIET JACKSON.  CELESTIAL, after seeing his brother knock 
ANNIE JACKSON down, left the house, and seizing the gun which lay on the
floor went  to the station house.  JULIET escaped through a rear window, and
although she had been confined to the house many days with rheumatism, scaled 
two fences.  Both told of threats that ALEXANDER had made to clean the house
out, and CELESTIAL said that his brother had said that after the murders in
Buffalo avenue he intended to reload his gun, go to the residence of Mrs.
PARENGER on the Hunterfly road, call the latter to the door and shoot her.
ALEXANDER had two hemorrhages yesterday, but the chances are in favor of
his recovery.  Coroner PARKER will hold the inquest in the case at the Morgue
at 2 P.M. on Thursday next.
Both made sworn statements before Justice WALSH charging ALEXANDER
JEFFERSON with the murder of Mrs. JACKSON and HENRY HICKS, and
were then taken to jail, where they will be held until the inquest.

SUICIDE-An Old Coney Island Road Hotel Keeper Gone.
HENRY WIGGINS, SR., formerly proprietor of a well-known hostelry on
the Coney Island road, yesterday afternoon committed suicide by twice
shooting himself in the throat.  Death was almost instantaneous.  Mr.
WIGGINS was 60 years of age and a widower.  His hotel was the first one
this side of Tunison's.  He amassed a comfortable fortune, and retiring from
business, had the building changed into a dwelling.  All his property he
signed over to his wife, and she died after a very brief illness intestate.  
She had been twice married, and several of her children by her first husband
claimed and came into possession of all the property.  This worried Mr.
WIGGINS, who became very despondent, and left his former home, of
which his stepchildren took possession.  Subsequently they hunted him
up and gave him a comfortable home with them.  The loss of his property,
however, affected him very much, and he became melancholy.  Yesterday
afternoon one of his stepdaughters went to his room and told him to come
down stairs to lunch.  He replied that he would be down in a few minutes,
but as he did not make his appearance the others ate lunch and at its
conclusion the daughter again went to her step-father's room to call him.
She found him upon the floor with a pistol grasped in his right hand, while
blood flowed from two wounds in either side of the throat.  Life was
extinct.  Coroner KELLER will hold an inquest.
