A MAN KILLED IN ENGEMAN'S RESTAURANT
The Result Of Carelessly Handling a Pistol- 
A Street shooting affray Between Young Men- 
A man shot in the Ear- 
Reckless Firing of Pistol Bullets.
  Early on Sunday morning John PETERSON, 35 years of age, 
who lives at No. 274 Furman Street, entered Engeman's restaurant, 
No. 327 Washington Street and passed down stairs into the basement 
and was followed by Henry H. ACKERMAN who lives at No. 5 Montague Terrace, 
The men had been down stairs but a few minutes when the report of 
a pistol was heard and Ackerman passed up into the restaurant. He 
said nothing about any shooting. In a few minutes Paterson was 
found lying in the basement with a bullet wound in the left side 
of the abdomen. After PETERSON'S wound had been dressed he was 
removed to the L. I.  College Hospital. 
  PETERSON made two contradictory statements. At first he said he 
had been shot by ACKERMAN and next that it was accidental. ACKERMAN, 
who was arrested, also said it was the result of accident. The 
revolver with which it was done is a 32 caliber Smith & Wesson
  Subsequently ACKERMAN was taken before Justice WALSH, and with the 
consent of District Attorney CATLIN and Assistant District Attorney OAKEY, 
admitted to bail. 
Yesterday afternoon the Coroner was notified that PETERSON was dying 
and he accordingly went to the hospital and took his anti-mortem statement.
  In it PETERSON stated that the shooting was the result of accident, 
But a short time after making the statement the injured man died. ACKERMAN, 
who was rearrested and subsequently allowed to go on the bail previously 
furnished, said he had borrowed the revolver to protect himself from a
crowd of young men, one of whom had thrown and oyster shell at him. 
He said he was examining the weapon when it exploded.

KEENAN, Patrick
  On Saturday a well-known Democratic politician of the Sixth Ward, Patrick 
KEENAN died of pneumonia, aged 52 years. Mr. KEENAN was born in Ireland, and 
had lived forty years in this city. Under the administration of Presidents 
BUCHANAN and LINCOLN he was an inspector of customs, Subsequently he was the 
deputy of City Auditor James O'BRIEN, and was a messenger in the office of 
Mayor POWELL, during the last term of the latter. The last position he held 
was that of Excise Inspector, which he resigned several months ago. He ran as 
independent candidate for Alderman at the last election and was defeated by 
James KANE. Mr.KEENAN when a young man was known as a sportsman of the 
muscular order and at one time quite a celebrated oarsman. Although a man of 
somewhat rough exterior he was warm hearted, and his word was as good as his bond.

Death of William H.GOODSPEED
  William H. GOODSPEED Vice-president of the Hartford and New York Steamboat 
Company, died at Goodspeed's Landing, East Haddam, Conn, on Sunday morning. 
Mr. GOODSPEED had been the general manager of this line of steamboats for 
several years. His health had been poor for some time, but he was compelled 
to give personal attention to the raising of the steamer State of New York, 
which sank last autumn, a tax upon his powers which no doubt hastened his 
demise. In the death of Mr. GOODSPEED the company loses an active an 
energetic manager.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH
A Brooklyn Girl Dies Suddenly at a Photograph Gallery in New York
  Katie BRADY, who resided with her parents at 46 Carlton Avenue, died
yesterday afternoon somewhat suddenly, and what at present appears 
to be under very suspicious circumstances, at MOELLER'S photographic rooms,
20 Avenue C, New York. The photographer said that she went there and 
wanted to have her photograph taken. Just as she sat down on a chair, she
reeled to one side, straightened out, and seemed to have a fit. The coroner, 
however, learned that Helena MOELLER, the wife of the photographer, is an 
accoucheur, and this, with other facts caused him to order the arrest of Mrs.
MOELLER.
  Katie worked in Brewster's shirt factory, Ninth Street, between Avenue N and C.
She earned $9 a week. Mrs.BRADY says that she was the main support of the 
family. She was in the employ of Mr. BREWSTER for over six years, and was 
considered industrious and steady. She usually went to work early in the morning
and returned at dusk. On Monday night she was up till a very late hour receiving 
calls at the house of an aunt residing in this city. She arose late yesterday 
morning and at half-past eleven o'clock left home to go to work. Her father is an 
old man, and for the past three years has been unable to work. The girl's brother 
Philip, said he was sure that Katie had no money when she left home in the 
morning and could not account for her having the $26 which was found in her 
pocket by the police.
(5 January 1882)
KATIE BRADY'S DEATH.
The Result of a Congestive Chill and Not of Malpractice
  The autopsy on the body of Katie BRADY, who died suddenly on Tuesday
in MOELLER'S photographic gallery, No. 20 Avenue C, New York, showed
that death resulted from a congestive chill, and not malpractice, as had 
been supposed. The fact that MOELLER'S wife is a midwife led the coroner 
and others to believe that the girl had been improperly dealt with. The 
examination of the body by the doctors showed that all the organs were in a
congested state, and indisputable evidence were found that the dead girl was
far advanced in maternity. The doctors having given as their opinion that she 
died of sudden congestion, and that nothing was discovered in the autopsy
to warrant the further detention of Mrs. MOELLER, the woman was released 
from custody upon her own recognizance. The body was brought over to this 
city, to 46 Carlton Avenue, where the dead girl's parents reside.

JOHN J PETERSON'S DEATH
Testimony Taken at the coroner's inquest, The Jury Decide that PETERSON Shot 
Himself  Accidentally, and Exonerate ACKERMAN

Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the death of John J. 
PETERSON, who was shot Sunday morning last in the basement of Engeman's
dining saloon, No. 327 Washington Street, as was supposed at the time, by 
Henry H. ACKERMAN.
  The testimony showed that PETERSON and ACKERMAN had never met before 
Saturday night last, and that after they became acquainted they visit several 
saloons and had a number of drinks, which caused them to be more or less 
intoxicated. While they stood in front of Engeman's ACKERMAN had a friendly 
wrestling match with an acquaintance. While standing on the sidewalk talking 
PATTERSON was struck on the nose with an oyster shell. The two men then went 
into the restaurant. PETERSON having previously, in consequence of having 
been struck by the oyster shell, asked ACKERMAN for his revolver, which he 
had seen peeping from the latter's pocket. PETERSON said he wished to protect 
himself with the weapon, and his request was granted. The latter went 
downstairs to wash the blood from his face, and was followed by ACKERMAN, who 
testified last night that he was on his way upstairs again when he heard the 
report of the revolver,  and saw PETERSON lying at the foot of the stairs, 
Policeman WHITE related the statements of deceased, in which he first said he 
had been shot by ACKERMAN, and next that he had shot hinself. The testimony 
of the employees of the restaurent showed that there had been no quarrel 
between the men.
  The jury decided that PETERSON'S death was caused by a pistol shot wound 
accidentally inflicted by himself, and exonerated ACKERMAN from all blame in 
the matter

9 January 1882
WILLIE ROSS DEATH
His Father Clings to the Belief that He Was Poisoned and Asks
to Have The Medicine Analyzed. The body to be Exhumed and an
Inquest Held. 
  Mr. James ROSS, of No. 731 Fourth Avenue, whose son died while 
under the care of " Dr." William SILBERMAN, clings to the belief that
his son's death was due to the medication which was administered to
him. He called at the coroner's office today and had a consultation 
with Coroner KELLER.
  Mr. ROSS bases his belief in the fact that directly the medicine had 
been administered is son was seized with convulsions which continued
up to the time of his death. The prescription has been searched up and 
some of the ingredients contained therein could possibly have injured the 
boy, Mr.ROSS believes that the druggist in making it up made a mistake.
He was told that that portion of the medicine which remained in the bottle 
would be analyzed and that he would be notified of the result.
  As the matter now stands there is no doubt that the body of young
ROSS will be exhumed and a post mortem examination held, should the 
results of the analysis of the medicine prove it necessary. In any event the 
body will be disinterred and an inquest held. As such action is held to be
necessary by the Coroner, the certificate of death filed by SILBERMAN with 
the Health Department counting for naught, he not being a registered 
physician. Taking this view of the case it follows necessarily that the bodies 
of all of SILBERMAN'S patients who have died must be disinterred and an 
inquest held in each case.

Fatal Ear Piercing
A Christmas Present that Resulted in the Death of the Receiver
  Annie McKEEVER, 13 years of age, of No. 203 Park Avenue on December 23 had

Prevent people jumping thereon. The driver and conductor were exonerated.

  Ferdinand PERFETTI, an Italian laborer , 23 years of age, living at 70 Hamilton Avenue
Was last night stabbed in the abdomen by Frank MOSSA, an Italian shoemaker at the 
latter's place of business, No. 57 Union Street. MOSSA who is but 19 years of age 
and a cripple, ran away after the stabbing and has not since been found, although 
the police are making search for him. He was accompanied by a fellow countryman 
named Vicenzo a witness to the stabbing. It was through a quarrel which PERFETTI 
had with Vicenzo that the stabbing occurred. A secondary cause was a request 
made by PERFETTI to MOSSA
For the settlement of a bill of $30. The wounded man was attended by Ambulance 
Surgeon TURNER, and removed to the long Island College Hospital. His condition 
became so much worse this morning that Coroner KELLER was notified to take his 
ante-mortem statement, which he did as follows:
  I Lent $30 to that lame fellow. His name is Frank MASSA. He lives in Union Street, 
in front of the coal office. He is a shoemaker. I went yesterday alone to ask him 
to pay me the money which he owed me. There were two other persons in the room. 
The name of one is Vicenzo and the other Ml??ello. He (MASSA) said "I have no money; 
I will give it to you Tomorrow night" I then had hard words with Vicenzo. 
I did not then speak about money.Vicenzo said he was good and I was bad. We 
then clinched and came to hands and MASSA then stabbed me with a knife. The third man 
Vicenzo said he was good and I was bad. We then clinched and came to hands and
MASSA stabbed me with a knife. The third man ML??ELLO did not mix in the row. 
I saw the knife. It was a shoemaker's knife. MASSA stabbed me once and attempted 
to do second time but I parried the blow. MASSA then called two policemen and 
told them to arrest me. He then ran away. MASSA said nothing when he stabbed me, 
nor before that. I said nothing to MASSA to provoke him. I thought he came to separate
Vicenzo and myself.

THE PRINCE STREET DISASTER
A Coroner's Jury Censures the Owner of the Building for Negligence
and an Inspector for Only Partially Doing His Duty

  An inquest was held last night by coroner KELLER in the matter of the 
killing, by the fall of the unoccupied house in the rear of No. 103 Prince 
Street, on the 14th inst., of three boys, named Wm. SPOLLEN, Wm. 
WINCHELL and Thos. CUTE.
  Henry J. JOHNSON, who lives at 101 Prince Street, testified that he saw
the boys in the house tearing away the woodwork; one of them had a crow-
bar with which he was at work on a piece of joist, an upright beam which 
was the main support of the building Witness told the boys that they were 
in danger and had on previous occasions warned children not to go into the 
house, but they never paid attention to what he said. About ten minutes after 
he had spoken to them the house fell and ten minutes later the bodies were 
taken out. The boys were dead.
  Robert W. OLIVER, of Fleet Street, testified to seeing the boys tearing away
portions of the building, and Willie MEEKES to having been in the building just
before it fell, and to running away when he felt it shake.
  George HOWELL Inspector of Buildings in the district where the house was
located testified that he had inspected the building three times since a year ago
 last July. There had been no complaints made, and at the last inspection the 
building was safe. It was not in such a condition as to be condemned. Witness
did not enter the building, but merely walked around the outside.
  The jury rendered a verdict in each case finding that death was caused by 
suffocation and injuries received by the accidental fall of the building, and
censured the owner for leaving the building unprotected so as to allow boys 
to have free access to it. In their opinion the Inspector partially failed 
in his duty in only examining the exterior of the building.

Patrick CONNOLLY, a coachman, 45 years of age, last night, fell down a flight
of stairs at the residence of his employer, A. CRITTENDEN No. 182 Joralemon
Street, and when found was in a dying condition. Before medical 
aid arrived he was dead.

Station House, while His Companion Meets a More Serious Fate.
  William PETTY, proprietor of a boarding house at 289 Kingswood Avenue,
Greenpoint, started out last evening in company with one of his boarders, 
named Bernard MURPHY, for the purpose of purchasing a pair of shoes. On 
their way to the shoe store they stopped at several saloons and supplied 
themselves liberally with liquor. About half past ten o'clock they found 
themselves at Broome Street and Graham Avenue, and they concluded to go
back home without buying the shoes. In crossing the open lots at the head of
Broome Street they became separated and a little later Officer SPRECKLEY 
of the Seventh Precinct Police found PETTY sitting on a curb stone unable to
navigate, and he took him to the station house. This morning about six 
o'clock the same officer found the dead body of MURPHY, PETTY'S companion, lying
along the roadway on Van Cott Avenue. MURPHY'S head was severely cut, and 
his face was covered with blood. It is supposed that he fell and stunned hims

fill the vacancy. He held this position until 1869, and afterwards was 
engaged as consulting engineer in a number of enterprises in the West.
Mr. LANE designed the sewerage works of Milwaukee and Indianapolis, and 
while associated with Mr. CHEESBROUGH, assisted in designing the sewerage
works of New Haven and the improved sewerage system of Boston. The next 
important enterprise he was engaged for was the water works of system of
Milwaukee, which he designed, and was appointed that city's engineer 
during the work of construction, a position he retained for several years
afterwards. Mr. LANE designed the water works of new Orleans, and on
arriving north was last year reappointed city Engineer of Milwaukee. He 
was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and Vice-president
of the Engineers Society of the Northwest. Mr. LANE possessed many admirable
qualities, which, greatly endeared him to all with whom he was intimate. A 
widow and four children are left to mourn his loss.

VALENTINE SCHAEFFER'S DEATH.
How a Fellow Workman Kicked Him Without Provocation -The Verdict of 
the Jury -HORNBOSTEL Held for the Grand Jury
  The inquest on the body of Valentine SCHAEFFER, who was kicked on the 
19th instant by Henry HORNBOSTEL, and died on the 21st, was held last night 
in Justice NAEHR'S court. The story of the affray as traced by the evidence of
James STREULER and Jacob VOERKER, the principal witnesses, was that on 
evening of the 19th instant SCHAEFFER and HORNBOSTEL left work at 
De Castro & Donners sugar refinery, where they are employed, at half past six
o'clock. The day before, SCHAEFFER, who is foreman of the gang of men in
which HORNBOSTEL was working, he had occasion to find fault with him, and 
hard words had passed between them. When the pair reached the corner of 
South Ninth Street, STREUTER and VOERKER suddenly heard SCHAEFFER shouting
for help, and going to him, found him lying on the ground unable to move. He
complained of having been kicked in the groin, but refused to state who by. 
In his ante-mortem statement, however, he pointed out HORNBOSTEL as his assailant,
and stated that the attack was entirely unprovoked.
  The jury brought in a verdict that the deceased, Valentine SCHAEFFER, came to 
his death by reason of peritonitis, superinduced by injuries received from a kick 
delivered by Henry HORNBOSTEL on the night of Thursday, Jan 19.
  In accordance with the new code, HORNBOSTEL was bought to Justice 
NAEHR'S court for examination this morning.
  He waived it and was committed for the Grand Jury.

morning STANFIELD was ordered by the engineer to go to the well. He did 
as directed, but not reappearing in an hour, search was made for him by his
fellow workmen, who found his body in the well, from which there arose 
noxious vapors which are supposed to have overcome STANFIELD, who was 
on a ladder ascertaining the depth of the water and caused him to fall in. 
Coroner KELLER will hold an inquest in the case this afternoon.

Shocking death of A. Little school Girl:
Fatal sickness caused by eating something, believed to have
been molasses taffy, impregnated with copper.
  Bessie THAYER,11 years of age, left her parents residence,
No. 137 St. James Place, yesterday morning to attend school.
She was in the best of health. She returned about a quarter
past twelve o'clock and complained of feeling unwell. In a
short time she became much worse and had a violent attack of
vomiting, which continued with increased violence, and soon 
became so bad that a physician was summoned. His efforts were
of little avail and another doctor was called. The child
lingered in great agony until five o'clock, when she died. The 
child's symptoms being those of poisoning, and as she was in good 
health when she left home in the morning, an investigation was
held for the purpose of ascertaining what the child had eaten
since she left home. Mr. THAYER said to a reporter of the Union
Argus today that he had learned that his daughter while at school
(Public School No. 11 in Washington Avenue) had partaken of some 
common molasses candy, and that soon after felt unwell. He said
he did not know whether the child had herself purchased the 
candy or procured it of a schoolmate. That point he determined 
to investigate. He was satisfied that his daughter had been 
poisoned.
  A reporter learned that the candy was purchased at a small 
store in Washington Avenue near the school. It was what is known
as molasses taffy. It was bought either by the dead child or her
cousin, a girl of about the same age, on there way home from school 
at noon. Both ate of it. The cousin while made ill from the effects
of it is now on the road to recovery. She exhibited the same 
symptoms as Mr. THAYER'S daughter, but they were not so violent.
  Dr. Edward W. VIETAR, and one of the physicians who attended the 
THAYER girl, reported the case to Coroner KELLER today, and stated
that he thought the child had been poisoned. An inquest will be held
tomorrow.
  It is thought that the poisoning was caused by the absorption of
copper by the candy from the kettle in which it was boiled.
  Mr. THAYER naturally feels very bad over the death of his daughter,
and has determined to sift the matter thoroughly. His wife, he said,
was ill when the child came home and could not give her that attention
which she would have had she been in good health. He was averse to 
diving the reporter any information, giving as his reason that before 
making public anything in connection with the case he wished to make 
certain that his suspicions were correct.

responsible for Mrs.FARBROTHER'S death in failing to provide proper gates
at the crossings.
  In the case of Thomas STANFIELD, who was suffocated in a well at the corner
of Pearl and front Streets on the 27th instant, the jury rendered a verdict of

Coroner KELLER on Saturday held an inquest in the case of the death of 
Charles BY, who was run over and killed by a Myrtle avenue car at the foot of

the conductor and driver testified they knew nothing of it until the return 
trip when they were arrested. Albert HAUFT, an employee of the railroad 
company who found Mr. BY on the track, testified to that fact. The jury

MORTALLY WOUNDED
A Boardinghouse Keeper Shot by His Son-in-Law
A fray on a Vessel at the Foot of Washington Street--The Injured Man's Death 
Momentarily Expected--A Secret Marriage at the Bottom of the Trouble
A shooting case which will, in all probability, result fatally, occurred last 
night at the foot of Washington street. The shooting was the result of an 
assault which grew out of a secret marriage.
On Thanksgiving Day last Henry PURDY, mate of the brig Harriet G., married
 the step-daughter of Charles H. SMITH, a sailors' boarding house keeper at 
No. 15 Hamilton street, New York. The girl was but 18 years of age, and her 
parents objected to the visits which PURDY was paying her. The objections, 
however, were useless, and on the day mentioned the couple by an arrangement 
previously made met, and seeking a clergyman, were married. On the following 
day, PURDY sailed, telling his wife that she should accompany him on the next 
voyage. Mrs. PURDY's parents knew nothing of the marriage until after it had 
been consummated and PURDY had sailed. A few days ago the Harriet G. arrived 
at the foot of Washington street in this city and discharged her cargo. 
To-day she was to have sailed again, and Mrs. PURDY yesterday put her effects 
together and went to the vessel for the purpose of going with her husband.
The loss of his stepdaughter appears to have very
MUCH ANGERED SMITH
who, according to his subsequent actions, must have determined upon revenge. 
About six o'clock last night, SMITH, in company with James M. BRADY, of No. 2 
1/2 Monroe street, New York, and David MONROE, of No. 14 Hamilton street, New 
York, both boarding-house runners, came to Brooklyn and made their way to 
PURDY's vessel. Arriving there they inquired for PURDY and his wife, standing 
on the dock beside which the vessel lay. PURDY, upon being informed that he 
was wanted, went at once to the deck of the vessel and on seeing SMITH and 
his companions made his way to the dock. No sooner had he done so than he was 
attacked by SMITH, who, after striking him with his fists, "butted" him with 
his head in the face. BRADY and MONROE joined in the assault, assisting 
SMITH. PURDY after a desperate effort succeeded in breaking away from his 
assailants, but they immediately resumed the assault, and PURDY, in 
self-defence, drew a revolver from his pocket and fired two shots. The weapon 
was a five barrel Colt's revolver, and one of the shots took effect, the ball 
striking SMITH in the lower part of the abdomen. The wound is a dangerous 
one, and the injured man is
NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE
through the day. He was attended by Ambulance Surgeon TURNER, and removed to 
the Long Island College Hospital. Coroner KELLER has been notified to take 
his ante-mortem statement.
The occurrence was not reported to the police until nearly an hour after. 
Captain CRAFTS, of the Second Precinct, at once sent out several officers, 
and after a search they found PURDY concealed in the hold of the vessel, 
where he had been since the shooting. He was arrested by Sergeant MORRELL, 
Detective CAMPBELL and Officer BEDELL, who also took into custody BRADY, 
Patrick KELLY, the second mate of the vessel, and Mrs. PURDY, as witnesses. 
PURDY was taken in a carriage to the Long Island College Hospital, where he 
was identified by SMITH as the man who shot him.
PURDY was this morning taken before Justice WALSH, who committed him to await 
the result of SMITH's injuries.
Coroner KELLER to-day took
SMITH'S ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT
as follows:
I believe in God and know that I may die from this wound and am prepared to 
tell the whole truth. My wife and I went to Europe last summer and left my 
stepdaughter, Miss Mamie DOUGLAS, in charge of my private boarding-house, 
which I keep at 15 Hamilton street, New York. I came back from Europe four 
months ago and took charge of my place again. On Sunday night she went out 
and did not return. When I got up yesterday morning I asked my wife if Mamie 
had come home and she said no. I then said I would go over to Brooklyn to her 
aunt's house, at the corner of Smith and Douglass streets, to see if she was 
there. Her aunt said no, and I then went to the brig Harriet G., foot of 
Washington street. I sent my friend MONROE aboard to see the mate, Henry 
PURDY. PURDY came off the vessel and we had a talk together. I told him if he 
had done the proper thing he could have the girl. I saw Mamie on board. We 
had some more words and he told me to go to h___, and then fired at me. I did 
not go there to fight, as I have just got up from a sick bed. My 
stepdaughter's cousin told me that Mamie was on board the brig.

Charles H. SMITH, Who Was Shot by Henry PURDY
Charles H. SMITH, the sailors' boarding-house keeper, of No. 15 Hamilton 
street, New York, who was shot on Monday night last by Henry PURDY, his 
stepson-in-law, while quarreling with the latter at the foot of Washington 
street, because PURDY had clandestinely married his stepdaughter whom he 
proposed to take to sea with him died this morning at the Long 
Island College Hospital.

Rev. Dr. Sewall S. CUTTING
The death of Rev. Dr. Sewall Sylvester CUTTING took place yesterday at the 
residence of his son, Mr. C.H. CUTTING, 247 President street. Dr. CUTTING was 
born at Windsor, Vt. January 19, 1813, and received his education at 
Waterville College, Maine, and the University of Vermont, graduating from the 
latter institution in 1835. He was installed pastor of the Baptist church in 
Southbridge, Mass., in 1837, and remained there eight years, when he became 
editor of the New York Recorder, and held that position five years. For a 
short time he was secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Society, and 
subsequently became connected with the editorial department of the Watchman 
and Reflector, Boston. After two years' service in this capacity he returned 
to the New York Recorder. He afterward was Professor of Rhetoric and History 
in the University of Rochester, which he resigned in 1868 and became 
Secretary to the Baptist Educational Commission. Three years later he was 
Corresponding Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. He 
resigned in the spring of 1879 and in the following November went to Europe. 
About three weeks ago Dr. CUTTING was stricken with paralysis and lingered 
until yesterday. He was the author of "Historical Vindications of the 
Baptists", which was published in 1858, and wrote a number of hymns, which 
are to be found in the Baptist hymn books.

Catherine CARLIN
A Heavy Suit Began Against a Physician
One Result of the Death of Catherine CARLIN, Who Expired On the Cars, On the 
Way From Montreal--Natural Causes, and Not Poison
On October 28 last Miss Catherine E. CARLIN, of this city, died suddenly in a 
railway train at St. Alban's, Vt., while on her way from Montreal to her home 
here. She was sick when she left the Canadian city, and was accompanied upon 
her trip by her cousin, Mrs. J.T. SMITH, in whose house at Montreal she had 
been staying. Miss CARLIN's death was very sudden, and when her remains 
arrived at the Grand Central Depot one of the New York Coroners gave a 
certificate that she died from natural causes. After the body was buried, the 
dead young woman's brother, Counselor CARLIN of Willow place, this city, and 
other of her relatives, came to the conclusion that she had been poisoned by 
Mrs. SMITH. They called in Dr. D.W. KISSAM, of No. 112 Prospect place, who 
had a conference with Mrs. SMITH, the result of which was that the physician 
made an affidavit that, in his opinion, Miss CARLIN's death resulted from 
poison, and throwing suspicion upon Mrs. SMITH. Upon this affidavit and 
others Miss CARLIN's body was exhumed, and a careful chemical analysis failed 
to discover any traces of poison, and a Coroner's jury declared that the 
young lady died from natural causes. Mrs. SMITH has sued Dr. KISSAM for 
$50,000, alleging that the affidavit made by him has damaged her to that extent.

MARTIN EVANS: Sudden Death of a Well-known Citizen
The Result of an Overdose of Morphibe Taken to Relieve Rheumatism--Testimony 
of Witnesses at the Coroner's Inquest
Col. Martin EVANS, a well-known citizen, died yesterday at his residence, 
corner of Willoughby avenue and Hall street, from the effects of an overdose 
of morphine. He had recently been suffering from a nervous affection (sic), 
and in order to allay the pain he was in the habit of taking morphine.
Coroner KELLER held an inquest this morning. Members of the family testified 
that when deceased came home he took some morphine and soon after said he 
believed he had taken too much and attempted to produce vomiting. A physician 
was then sent for.
Dr. George A. EVANS, of No. 458 Marcy avenue, testified as follows: I was 
called to see deceased professionally on Tuesday evening last at about 7:30 
P.M.; he was an uncle of mine; I arrived at a quarter of eight o'clock and 
found deceased in the basement lying on the floor supporting the upper part 
of his body by leaning on his own arm, trying to induce vomiting; he was in 
that position when I entered and when I got up to him he rolled over
COMPLETELY UNCONSCIOUS;
with the assistance of Mr. Lewis HOPKINS I placed him on the lounge and 
removed the clothing from the upper part of his body; he was in a comatose 
condition with contracted pupils and complete paralysis of will power. After 
repeated slapping with my hand and violent shaking, in answer to my inquiry 
why he had taken so much morphine, he mumbled in reply: "For the relief of 
pain." I picked up a glass of hot mustard water, put it to his lips and told 
him sharply to take it. He said: "Yes, I will if you let me," at the same 
time keeping his mouth shut and attempting to get up. After this he relapsed 
into complete insensibility. We tried other means of restoration, such as 
flatulation, and also antidotes and the application of mustard plasters to 
the body; we also used the stomach pump. I sent for Dr. KUHEN, and he not 
having a stomach pump, I sent for Dr. WILLIAMS; he arrived at twelve o'clock, 
and we emptied the stomach of the patient. I treated him
UNTIL HIS DEATH
yesterday about four o'clock P.M.; he never became conscious again; I had a 
consultation with Dr. KUHEN at nine o'clock Tuesday night and with Dr. 
WILLIAMS at twelve o'clock; we did everything known to treatment to act 
against the poison but did not succeed; in my opinion death resulted from an 
overdose of morphia; I also saw on the table a paper containing an 
inscription of sulphate of morphia with KITCHEN'S name on it; I knew he had 
been suffering more or less from chronic rheumatism.
The jury decided that death was caused by an overdose of morphine taken to 
allay pain. 
Colonel EVANS was an active Democrat, and frequently took part in the 
counsels of that party as a representative of the Seventh Ward. During the 
late rebellion he accepted a commission as paymaster of volunteers in the 
Union army, and at the close of the war was breveted colonel. He was an 
active opponent of the project to build an elevated railroad on Myrtle 
avenue, and was outspoken in his denunciation of the promoters of that scheme 
when it was "engineered" by Mr. BOND through the Board of Aldermen.

12 February 1882
An Anti-Bobtail Coroner's Jury
Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the death of John 
GREEN, who was killed by a Flushing avenue car a few days ago. The verdict 
was as follows:  We find that deceased came to his death by injuries due to 
being accidentally struck by and run over by car No. 520, of the Flushing 
avenue line, of the Brooklyn City Railroad. We exonerate the driver, Samuel 
G. SMALL, from all blame in the matter. We recommend that said company have 
conductors on their cars as a precaution, to prevent such accidents in the future.

thought that death was caused by scarlet fever, and the Board of Health will 
make an investigation after an inquest has been held by the Coroner.

13 February 1882
Mr. George JARDINE, senior member of the firm of JARDINE & Sons, organ 
builders, of New York, died yesterday.  He was born in England in 1801, and 
early showing an aptitude for music, combined with mechanical skill, was 
placed with the then-celebrated firm of FLIGHT & ROBSON, the leading organ 
builders of London. In 1837 his brother John, having become successfully 
established as a piano maker in New York, obtained an order for an organ for 
old St. James' Church, then on Orange street, New York, and George was 
induced by John to settle in New York. Since then the JARDINES have built 
organs for all over the counrty and, indeed, for all parts of the world. 
Among the more prominent instruments may be mentioned those in the Catholic 
Cathedral and St. George's Church, New York; the Tabernacle, St. John's M.E. 
Church and the Church of the Sacred Heart, this city, and others in both 
cities. Also splendid instruments for the cathedrals of Mobile and 
Pittsburgh. Among the private organs in this city built by Mr. JARDINE are 
those in the residences of Mr. Joseph KNAPP, Bedford avenue, and Mr. George 
H. NICHOLS, Clinton avenue. Mr. JARDINE was well known in this city and very 
highly respected. The funeral will take place at St. George's Church, New 
York, on Thursday, and Mr. George W. MORGAN will preside at the organ.

INQUESTS
The Man Who Was Killed by His Son-in-Law
The Jury Divided as to the Shooting--Some of Them Find That it was Justified 
and Others Do Not
Coroner KELLER and a jury last night held an inquest in the case of the death 
of Charles H. SMITH, who was shot on the 6th inst. by Henry PURDY, his 
stepson-in-law, who is first mate on the brig Harriet G., which at the time 
of the shooting was lying at the foot of Washington street.
Patrick KELLY, second mate of the vessel, testified to having been requested 
by SMITH and two other men just previous to the shooting to ask PURDY and his 
wife, who were in the cabin, to come on deck.  He did so and PURDY went 
ashore.  In a few minutes the three men were fighting.  The witness saw two 
of the men go down the dock and heard one of them say: "Stand back," and then 
heard the report of a pistol.
James M. BRADY, who was with SMITH at the time of the shooting, testified to 
going to the vessel with him, and that he said that he wanted to see a friend 
on board.  Witness did not know what the quarrel was about, but as soon as 
SMITH and PURDY met they clinched.  Witness separated them, and PURDY stepped 
back and drew a revolver.  He then backed down the dock, SMITH following and 
the two talking.  Witness afterwards heard two pistol shots, and on reaching 
SMITH was told by the latter that he had been shot by PURDY.
Davis MONROE, who was also present, corroborated the previous witness.
Mrs. PURDY testified to the fact that her husband was called on deck, and 
that soon after she heard a pistol shot.
The jury rendered the following verdict:
"We find that Charles H. SMITH came to his death by peritonitis caused by a 
bullet wound inflicted with a pistol in the hands of Henry PURDY.  We, John 
S. WILLIAMS, Edwin R. WARING, Charles E. SMITH and James H. WHITLEY believe 
that said Henry PURDY discharged said pistol in self-defence; and we, 
Christopher FITTER, Robert H. HAND and Solomon W. GLAUHER believe that there 
was not sufficient justification for PURDY to discharge the pistol, and we do 
not agree with that part of the verdict."

A Dissatisfied Coroner's Jury
The case of the death of Daniel WALLACE, who died from the effects of a 
fractured skull which he received during a quarrel with his brother James at 
the residence of the former, in Bush street, near Columbia, on the 6th inst., 
was investigated last night by Coroner KELLER.  The testimony showed the men 
had a quarrel, during which Daniel was knocked down.  The jury held James 
responsible.  Some of the jurors were dissatisfied with the testimony and it 
is thought that some additional facts will be brought to light in a short 
time.  District Attorney CATLIN thinks there is more in the case than has 
been told and has refused to admit the prisoner to bail.

S. WILLIAMS, Edwin R. WARING, Charles E. SMITH and James H. WHITLEY believe 
that said Henry PURDY discharged said pistol in self-defence; and we, 
Christopher FITTER, Robert H. HAND and Solomon W. GLAUHER believe that there 
was not sufficient justification for PURDY to discharge the pistol, and we do 
not agree with that part of the verdict."

A Dissatisfied Coroner's Jury
The case of the death of Daniel WALLACE, who died from the effects of a 
fractured skull which he received during a quarrel with his brother James at 
the residence of the former, in Bush street, near Columbia, on the 6th inst., 
was investigated last night by Coroner KELLER.  The testimony showed the men 
had a quarrel, during which Daniel was knocked down.  The jury held James 
responsible.  Some of the jurors were dissatisfied with the testimony and it 
is thought that some additional facts will be brought to light in a short 
time.  District Attorney CATLIN thinks there is more in the case than has 
been told and has refused to admit the prisoner to bail.

Deceased was highly respected, not only by his employers and fellow-workers 
at the mills, but by the members of the lodges mentioned.  The pallbearers 
were selected from the lodges.  The interment took place at Cypress Hills.  
A curious fact in connection with the deceased is that his real name was 
Levi J. STEVENS and that he had worked at Jewell Mills fifteen years or

IN FLAMES
The Lunatic Asylum at Flatbush
A fire of an alarming character broke out at about six o'clock this morning at 
the Lunatic Asylum, Flatbush.  It occurred in the extreme east wing of the building.  
By the last weekly report there were 924 inmates in the building, and this 
was about the number there this morning when the fire broke out.  The number 
of males was 381 and females 543.  The result of the fire is that 
Halls 9 and 8, on the upper floor of the extreme east wing are thoroughly 
burnt out and the roof has fallen in.  Only one patient was burned to death.  
His name was Andrew SCHOFIELD, who was admitted to the institution on 
January 12, 1881.  If he has any relatives in this city or country the fact 
is not known at the asylum as he seems to have had no correspondence or 
inquiries after him.

Another Body Found in One of the Burned Wards
A third body was recovered last night from the ruins of the burned wing of 
the Flatbush Insane Asylum.  It is supposed to be either Stephen WIGGINS or 
Joseph BERRY, who escaped from their room while the fire was in progress.  
It is burned beyond recognition.  The body of Thomas HASSETT, who was suffocated, 
was this morning removed to the residence of relatives at 104 Ryerson street.  
Coroner KELLER to-day impanneled the following jury: Abraham VANDERVEER, Jr., 
Stephen H. WILLIAMSON, 
Willian H. RAYNOR, 
Richard WESTERFALL, 
Peter PIGOTT, 
Chas. HALSTEAD, 
Abram PRINCE 
William GLADDING.  
The jurors viewed the bodies and inspected the building. 
The inquest will be held at the Flatbush Town Hall on the 28th inst., 
at half-past seven o'clock P.M.

Accidentally Shot
Henry CUNNINGHAM, a bartender in William CAVANAGH's saloon, corner of Hudson 
and Prospect street, this morning accidentally shot John MAHON, 17 years of 
age, of No. 133 Hudson avenue.  CUNNINGHAM was examining  a revolver and the 
weapon exploded, the ball striking MAHON, who was standing in the saloon, in 
the right breast.  CUNNINGHAM, who is 22 years of age, was arrested by 
Detective CAMPBELL, of the Second Precinct.  MAHON, who was only slightly hurt, 
was removed to the Long Island College Hospital.

A Child Fatally Burned
Hohn CRONIN, 3 1/2 years of age, living with his parents at No. 864 Hicks

Found Drowned
The Body of a Brooklyn Lawyer Discovered in the Water at the Foot of 
Thirty-fourth street--Why Deceased is Supposed to Have Committed Suicide
The body of Adrian G. WUST, a Brooklyn lawyer, was this morning found in 
the water at the foot of Thirty-fourth street.  It is supposed that deceased 
committed suicide.  There were no marks on the body beyond an abrasion on 
the nose.  Mr. WUST was at his office at No. 66 Court street, on Saturday 
last, since which time he had not been seen by relatives or friends.  The
body was identified by Counselor Patrick J. KEADY, who was well acquaited 
with deceased.  WUST drank heavily for some time previous to his death, and 
it is supposed that while under the influence of liquor he threw himself 
overboard.  Mr. WUST was 35 years of age and lived at No. 398 Second street.  
He formerly had an office in Front street, near Fulton, and was well known 
among local lawyers.

There is but little doubt that deceased committed suicide, as he has been 
despondent owing to an excessive use of liquor.  The father of deceased, 
C.C. WUST, formerly a lawyer and now a clerk for a local firm of lawyers, 
has heretofore attempted suicide unsuccessfully.

23 February 1882
The Asylum Fine
Another Body Found To-day--Supposed to be that of Joseph BERRY
Another body, supposed to be that of Joseph BERRY, was taken to-day from 
the ruins of the fire at the Lunatic Asylum, Flatbush.  Only the trunk 
remained, the other portions of the body having been completely burned 
away.  Dr. SHAW, and others, at the Asylum, believed that it was the body 
of BERRY, as all the others who were missing have been accounted for.  
This makes three who were burned in the fire, the fourth having, as is
supposed, died from fright.

FINCKE--Suddenly, on Wednesday, February 22, Anna N., wife of Charles FINCKE, 
and daughter of the late Abijah MANN, Jr.  The funeral will take place

Adrian G. WUST
The Mystery Surrounding His Death
Why His Friends Think He Was a Victim of Foul Play--When He was Last Seen 
Alive--An Uncertain Verdict by a Coroner's Jury
The friends of the late Counselor Adrian G. WUST, whose body was found yesterday 
morning in the water foot of Thirty-fourth street, South Brooklyn, claim that 
the dead man was a victim of foul play.  They deny that he was drunk when he 
was seen, or that he had been "spreeing it" lately.  He was a widower.  He 
was last seen at No. 176 Fulton street, where he boarded, on Tuesday afternoon 
last.  On Sunday he was in good spirits and spoke of his prospects.  On 
Monday morning he was in the saloon under his lodgings and talked about 
going to New York to see about the sale of some pictures which he possessed 
and which were in storage in New York.  On Tuesday afternoon he was seen 
in his apartments by a servant.  He was then perfectly sober and started 
for New York in that condition for the purpose of disposing of the pictures. 
That was the last seen of him until his body was found yesterday morning.  
He was intemperate at times, and whn in his cups was not at all careful as 
to who he associated with.  For that reason his friends think he sold the 
pictures and obtained a considerable amount of money for them, and as not
a cent was found on the body, it is thought he was first robbed and then 
thrown overboard.  Coroner KELLER held an inquest in the case and from the 
facts as known, the jury decided that deceased came to his death by being 
accidentally drowned.

24 February 1882
Arraigned on a Charge for Murder
Henry PURDY, first mate of the brig Harriet G., who shot and killed 
Charles H. SMITH, his wife's stepfather, was to-day arraigned in the Court 
of Sessions on an indictment charging him with homicide in the degree of 
murder.  He pleaded not guilty, and was remanded to jail to await trial.

Fatal Result of a Row
Death After a Fight in an Eastern District Saloon--A Case that was Kept from the Police
Two men called at the Fifth Precinct Station-house about nine o'clock last 
night and notified Sargeant BRENNAN that John HENRY, a laborer, 40 years of 
age, employed in the Williamsburg Gas Works, foot of North Twelfth street, 
was dying at his home, No. 376 Third street, from the effects of a beating 
which he had received on Tuesday afternoon last.  By direction of 
Captain WOGLOM, Detective SHORT and Officers HOLLAND, PHELAN, KELLY, and 
RILEY were sent out to inquire into the matter.  They returned in a short 
time having in custody Michael DOWD, saloon keeper at North Twelfth and 
First streets, and Thomas BURNS, bartender in James KEELEY's saloon, corner 
of First and North Thirteenth streets.
Dowd told the following story:  On Tuesday last Henry and he went to 
KEELEY's saloon.  DOWD and several others played pool in a rear room and 
HENRY remained near the bar.  When DOWD returned to the barroom, HENRY, 
who had been drinking freely, cast a reflection on the former's dead mother.  
He did so a second time, and upon making use of the remark again was struck 
in the face by DOWD.  HENRY in return kicked at DOWD, slipped and fell, 
and then complained that his leg was broken.  DOWD then left the place and
HENRY was taken home in a wagon by two of the employees of the saloon.
The injured man was attended by Dr. SWEENY for a broken leg.  Yesterday he 
became much worse, and last night Dr. OLCOTT was called in.  The latter 
said that HENRY could not live three hours, which prediction proved true, 
as about ten o'clock he died.  Up to this time the matter had been kept 
from the police, and neither of the physicians who attended HENRY have 
made a report to them.
The bartender BURNS told in part the same story as DOWD, but attempted 
to evade some questions, and acted as though he knew more than he would tell.
HENRY leaves a widow and one child.  He was a very heavy drinker, and 
although in the prime of life, death, it is thought by some, may have 
resulted from his sudden deprivation of stimulants.  Coroner PARKER will 
hold an inquest as soon as possible.
DOWD is said by the police to be ordinarily a very inoffensive man.

25 February 1882
WALLIS--On Saturday, February 25, John WALLIS, brother of W. WALLIS,

169 Fulton street, Brooklyn, at two o'clock on Monday, February 27.  
Members of Court Olive Branch, No. 6678, are respectfully invited to attend.

A Startling Discovery
A Dead Body Found in the Hallway of an Adams Street Residence--
the Deceased Not Identified--No Marks of Violence
Edward IRWIN, who is employed in the Brooklyn White Lead Works, corner of 
Adams and Water streets, last night reported to the Second Precinct Police 
that he had found the dead body of a man on the second landing of the house 
in which he (IRWIN) lived, at the location above named.  The building is 
owned by the company by which IRWIN is employed, and is occupied by the 
IRWIN family and a Mr. and Mrs. HORAN.  They say that they never saw the
man before last night.  The body is that of a man about 45 years of age, 
and is about five feet seven inches tall.  It is attired in a pair of black 
and another of brown pants, a black and also a blue coat, two cotton and
one woolen shirt, a black derby hat with the letters "F.S." inside, brown 
stockings and low shoes.  There are no marks on the body.  Dr. SHEPARD 
will make a post mortem examination.  The police think the man wandered 
into the building while drunk, and lying down in the hall, died.

Shocking Accident
A Twelve Year Old Girl Fatally Burned--The Mother and Younger Sister Injured
An accident which will result fatally to one person, and by which two others 
were severely burned, occurred yesterday afternoon at No. 486 Baltic street, 
in the following manner:
Ann HOLLAND, 12 years of age, who lives at the above place with her parents 
and sisters, yesterday took a lamp from the mantel piece in her parents' 
apartments with the intention of placing it on the table and lighting it.  
While taking the lamp from the mantel it slipped from her grasp and fell 
on the stove, the oil igniting and spreading.  The girl's clothing took 
fire, and in a short time, notwithstanding the efforts of her mother and 
sisters to extinguish the flames, she was shockingly burned.  The ambulance 
was called, and the girl taken to the Lomg Island College Hospital.  She is 
not expected to live through the day.  The mother and sisters, both named 
Sarah, and the latter 8 years of age, were burned severely while attempting 
to save Ann.  The latter's parents were notified to-day that Ann was dying.

27 February 1882
Accidentally Shot by His Wife
Counselor G. Barry WALL, of New Utrecht, whose office is in Wall street, New 
York, was accidentally killed yesterday morning at his residence.  The 
accident, as far as could be learned, occurred in this way:  It seems that 
Mr. WALL is in the habit of keeping a loaded pistol on his table, and 
yesterday morning forgot to remove it.  He returned from a walk after 
breakfast, entering his bedroom with his wife, who seeing the pistol on the 
table remarked:  This is no place to leave a loaded revolver." and took it 
up, intending to place it in a bureau drawer.  As she removed it from the 
table the pistol, which was cocked, went off, the ball hitting Mr. WALL, as 
above described.  Surgeons having been summoned, it was found that the ball 
entered just below the chin and lodged in the vertebra, producing paralysis 
in the right arm and both legs.

The Hon. Robert H. PRUYN, formerly Minister to Japan under President LINCOLN, 
and a candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 1865, died suddenly yesterday at 
his residence in Albany.  He was President of the National Commercial Bank of 
that city, and of the Dudley Observatory, besides being trustee and director 
in several other institutions.  Mr. PRUYN spent Saturday evening at the Fort 
Orange Club House, participating in the amusements of the evening, and 
appeared to be in his usual health.

Mme. Ermina Mansfield RUDERSDORF died at her residence in Boston yesterday 
morning, after a long illness.  She was born in Ivanowsky, in the Ukraine, in 
1822, her father, the distinguished violinist, living there at the time.  She 
was a soprano singer of great success, making her first professional 
appearance in Leipsic in 1840, and subsequently filling engagements in opera 
in all the leading cities of the Old World.  She came to Boston ten years ago 
to participate in the Peace Jubilee, and has since taken an active part in 
musical interests in that city, devoting much time to teaching.  
She leaves two sons.

Death of Bishop Lynch
The Right Rev. Patrick N. LYNCH, Roman Catholic Bishop of Charleston, S.C., 
died yesterday morning, aged 65 years.  He was consecrated in 1858.  Bishop 
LYNCH was much beloved by all classes in the community, and was eminent for 
his scientific learning no less than for his theological attainments.  The 
funeral, which will bring together many of the distinguished Catholic 
prelates of the country, will take place on Wednesday morning.

Inquest in a Burning Case
Annie HOLLAND, the 12-year-old girl who was so badly burned on Friday last by 
letting fall a kerosene lamp on a heated stove at her residence, died

inquest in the case and the jury rendered a verdict of accidental death.

28 February 1882
Death of Adolph Conrad POPPENHAUSEN
Adolph Conrad POPPENHAUSEN, whose serious illness was recently reported, died 
at his home yesterday at College Point, L.I., aged 40.  His father, who 
founded the village of College Point in 1850 and established rubber works 
there, transferred the business to his three sons and returned to Germany to 
live in 1874.  Adolph withdrew from the firm in 1878, established other 
rubber works, and was identified with a mining company, a fire insurance 
company and a savings bank.  The family became most publicly known while 
controlling the Long Island railroad system.

Was It Accidental?
The Shooting of Mr. George Barry WALL at New Utrecht--The Wife Arrested
The condition last night of Mr. George Barry WALL, the lawyer, of New 
Utrecht, who was said to have been accidentally shot by his wife on Sunday, 
was such as to cause the greatest anxiety, and Justice CHURCH, of Fort 
Hamilton, was sent for to take Mr. WALL's ante-mortem statement.  When the 
physicians were examining the wound, directly after the shooting, Mrs. WALL 
declared that the weapon was accidentally discharged, and she appealed to her 
husband to bear her out in the statement.  He did so at the time feebly, but, 
it is said, with sufficient emphasis to make the doctors understand that that 
was the true version of the affair.  Mrs. WALL said she was sure she had not 
touched the hammer of the pistol, and that it must have been cocked as it lay 
on the dressing table, because she merely took it up to put it in a drawer, 
deeming it was in a dangerous place.  This announcement of the affair was 
accepted without question at first, but it was whispered around during 
yesterday that Mr. and Mrs. WALL had frequent quarrels, and that the lady was 
quick and passionate.  During the afternoon Justice FERGUSON made an informal 
investigation and placed Mrs. WALL under the surveillance of an officer.  The 
ante-mortem statement, subsequently taken by Justice CHURCH, was such as to 
lead to the immediate arrest of Mrs. WALL, and she was locked up to await the 
result of her husband's injuries.  The WALL's have been boarding at the 
residence of the Rev. Hugh Smith CARPENTER, at New Utrecht, since last 
August.  Mrs. WALL was formerly an actress, and left the stage about eighteen 
months ago when she was married.  Her maiden name was Lizzie McCALL, and at 
one time she played in the "Shaughran" with Dion BOUCICAULT.

Arsenic
Twenty Grains Found in a Dead Child's Stomach
The Mysterious Death of Eliza Thayer, Who was Supposed to Have Been Poisoned 
by Molasses Candy--No Poison in the Candy
Dr. BARTLEY, of the Long Island College Hospital, has made a partial report 
of his analysis of the stomach and its contents and the intestines of Eliza 
Thayer, the 11-year-old girl who died recently under circumstances which 
indicated that she had been poisoned by eating molasses candy,
The girl attended school in Washington avenue, and while on her way home at 
noon purchased some molasses candy and licorice drops in a small candy store 
adjoining the school.  She was accompanied by a cousin a little older than 
herself, who also partook of the candy.  Both were made ill and the Thayer 
girl died in a few hoours.  Eliza made no statement except that she had eaten 
candy, and it was supposed that that the candy contained poison.
Dr. BARTLEY about two weeks ago examined the molasses candy and found no 
trace of poison.  To-day in his report he states that in the girl's stomach 
he found twenty grains of arsenic in one lump like putty.  In the candy no 
poisonous substance was found.  This envelopes the case in more mystery than 
ever, as it looks as though the child took poison.  The cousin claims to be 
in ignorance on that point, and until the inquest is held the facts are not 
at all likely to be ascertained.

A Destitute Woman's Death
Mary McCORMICK died on Saturday night at her home, No. 580 Pulaski street.

inquest, and the jury decided that death was the result of an accident.

A Widowed Husband's Charge
Mrs. JOURDAN died on Sunday at her residence, No. 220 North Eighth street, 
and the physician who attended her said that death was due to Bright's 
disease of the kidneys.  Yesterday the husband of deceased applied to Coroner 
KELLER to have a post-mortem examination held, and stated that he believed 
death to have been the result of violence.  He said that on December 6th, 
last, his wife was assaulted with a hatchet by Frank BELTRICH, and that he 
(the husband) believed that her death was due to injuries which she received 
at that time.  Justice NAEHER has granted a warrant for the arrest of BELTRICH.

Henry PURDY Acquitted of Murder-The Vedict Received with Applause
Henry PURDY, first mate of the brigantine Harriet G, was acquitted to-day in the 
Court of  Sessions of the killing of Charles H. SMITH, the stepfather of the wife
of the accused. The shooting occurred on February 6 at the foot of Washington
street. SMITH went to the Harriet G., which was lying at that dock, for the purpose
of persuading his wife to leave him. He called PURDY from his vessel and then
assaulted him. PURDY retreated from SMITH until he reached the edge of the
river, and then fired at his assailant. The jury were out but five minutes before
they returned with a verdict of not guilty. The announcement was received
with applause, which the officers found it diffucult to suppress.

Drowned In A Celler
A Young Man Prostrated with a Fit, Falls Into a Puddle of Water and is Drowned
A shocking accident, by which a young man lost his life, occurred this morning
in Columbia street. The accident was caused by the young man falling in a fit into
a puddle of water in the celler of his residence.
James PRENTZ, a young man twenty years of age, lived with his folks at No. 378 
Columbia street. The house is situated on low ground, and on the occasion of 
every heavy fall of rain the celler becomes more or less flooded, and this morning
there were two feet of water in one part of the celler. PRENTZ, about ten o' clock,
went to the celler for the purpose of getting some firewood, and while crossing
was prostrated with a fit., falling into the water and was drowned.
PRENTZ's long absence was not noticed by his family, but Nora LANGDON, who
lives in the same house, had occasion to visit the celler, and stumbled over
something which proved to be the body of PRENTZ, which lay face downward
in the water. PRENTZ's folks were at once notified and a physician summoned
but his life was already extinct.
Coroner KELLER will hold an inquest in the case. Deceased subject to fits.

THE WALL SHOOTING CASE
Mr. G. Barry WALL is still in a critical condition. No visitors are allowed
to see him. His death is hourly expected, but he still retains consciousness.
No action will be taken by the authorities in the case of Mrs. WALL, confined
in the New Utrecht Town Hall, pending her husband's critical condition.
The Young Lawyer who was Shot by His Wife
(March 3)
George Barry WALL Breathes His Last at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York-
How the Widow Received the News of his Death-A Heartrending Scene at the 
New Utrecht Town Hall this Morning-The District Attorney Ready to Indict Mrs. WALL
for Murder in the Second Degree on the Ante-Mortem Statement of Her Husband.
George Barry WALL, the young lawyer who was shot
by his wife at their residence in New Utrecht on Sunday
morning, died at the Presbyterian Hospital, N.Y., at a late
hour last night. The Rev. Mr. WALL, Superintendent of
the Hospital, and father of the deceased, with other family
members of his family, were at the bedside of the dying man
when he expired. He was unconscious before his death.
His right side was entirely paralyzed, and he could take
no food. Mr. Edward WALL, a brother of the dead man,
spoke in a sympathetic way of Mrs. WALL, and said
he had written her a letter yesterday assuring her of the
affectionate condolences of the family with her in her troubles.
A reporter of the Union-Argus visited Judge CHURCH
at Fort Hamilton at an early hour this morning. The Judge
said he had just received a telegraph despatch for Mrs.
WALL and he intended to take it up to her at the 
Town Hall. His Honor, of course, knew the contents
of the dispatch, for the reason that he is in charge
of the Western Union Telegraph office at the Fort,
but he gave no information about it until it was
presented sealed to Mrs. WALL. The reporter
accompanied the Judge to the Town Hall, and on their
way the latter said that last evening the woman who is
accused by her husband in his dying statement with 
having shot at him to kill him, had received a letter from
Mr. Edward WALL, which had given her a great deal of
consolation. When the party reached the Town Hall Judge
CHURCH said he had a very delicate duty to perform, it
having been published in the morining papers that Mr.
Wall had died, and he preferred to make the sad 
announcement to the widow alone. He knocked on the
door of the keeper's room, in which she is securely
confined, and in response to her invitation to enter he
opened it. When Mrs. WALL saw who it was she
advanced hurriedly across the room to meet him.
Her first question was; " What news do you bring me
from my poor husband." The Judge with a serious face
led her to a seat and said gently; " I have not very good
news for you this morning." Her face at once fell.
" Is he worse?", she asked in a hopeless way, looking
earnestly at her visitor. "Yes," said Judge CHURCH,
"but you know, Mrs. WALL, that you had to look
forward to the worst in this case. No hope has been held
out to you." Judge CHURCH told the writer that her forced
calmness at that stage of the conversation was terrible to 
behold. Controlling herself with a great effort, she said;
"Tell me the worst at once." " I have a telegraph despatch
for you, " he said. She begged him to read it, as she had
asked him to read letters for her yesterday which her 
excited and nervous condition would not allow her to 
peruse herself. The Justice then broke open the envelope
and after gaining a little further time and preparing her for
the shock that was to come he read the brief announcement
of Mr. WALL's death last night. The telegram was from Rev.
Mr. WALL, the father of her husband. Suddenly a terrific
shriek rang through the building and could be heard a 
hundred yards away. Judge CHURCH says that when he
had finished reading the despatch Mrs. WALL stood up.
clasped her hands across her face as if to shut out some
horrible sight, shrieked and fell heavily to the ground.
He added that he was never the witness of a more painful
scene in all his life. " They may talk about stage acting,"
he said, "but there was no melodrama about that."
He rushed to the door and called for help. With the 
assistance of the keeper, Mrs. WALL was taken senseless
from the floor and was laid on the lounge still unconscious.
Her face was like marble, and her visitor at first feared that 
the shock has killed her. Restoratives were applied, and when
she recovered her senses it was only to relapse into a fit of
wild hysteria. She called her husband again and again by 
name and she bacame so violent that the fears of those
present for her life were plainly expressed in their looks.
It was hours before she was calmed down sufficiently
to warrant the Justice in going to Brooklyn to visit the 
District Attorney's office. This afternoon her condition
was most pitiable, the hysterical attacks returning at intervals.
After a long consultation between District Attorney
CATLIN and Judge CHURCH the former advised that 
the Justice should on the complaint of a town officer and 
on the facts alleged in the Ante-Mortem Statement of Mr.
WALL, issue a warrant for the arrest of the widow and on
this commit her to jail pending the action of the Grand Jury.
Of course, if Mrs. WALL demanded a preliminary examination
the Justice could set down a  day for the hearing, but the
District Attorney said he would have her indicted right away.
In consequence of this determination the action of the Coroner's
jury will be of little or no account. Justice CHURCH said he would
see to it that Mrs. WALL, who has up to the present been held in
duress with her own consent, and has simply been under surveillance
by the authorities on the strength of the facts alleged in the ante-
mortem statement, was properly committed this afternoon.
Had she objected to her confinement, or insisted on her realease,
a committment for felonious assault would have been made out
before now, but as Mr. WALL's injuries were known to be fatal, Judge
CHURCH thought it better to await the result before arraigning her.
As Mr. WALL died in New York the Board of Coroners in that city can
either investigate the case themselves or grant a permit for the removal
of the body to this county and allow the inquest to he held here.
The Brooklyn Coroners are awaiting the action of their New York
brethren. A reporter of the Union-Argus called on District Attorney
CATLIN this afternoon. He said, "I shall have this woman indicted as
soon as possible." Of course the main evidence against her is the dying
statement of her husband, which has all the solemnity of an oath.
I have not seen the original statement, but if it be the same as has been
published in the newspapers, I shall have her indicted for murder in the
second degree. It appears to me from what I have seen unofficially that 
if a crime has been committed it was done in the heat of passion. It would
have been manslaughter in the third degree if there had been no intention
to kill, but a deadly weapon was used, and the dying man says it was used
to kill him. Murder in the first degree requires the fullest deliberation and 
intent, and that is precluded. I do not believe in having an indictment found
for the principal offence and in being obliged to try her afterward for a minor
one, I shall have her indicted for the crime for which I intend to try her and on
the charge which the evidence in my possession will sustain. The punishment
for murder in the second degree is imprisonment for life."
Mrs. WALL was visited at the New Utrecht Town Hall this afternoon by her
lawyers from New York.
Coroner KNOX, of New York, decided to impanel a jury at four o'clock this 
afternoon. The date of the inquest is not fixed.
(March 4)
IN JAIL--Mrs. George Barry WALL Committed To-day
Taken to Raymond Street this Afternoon to Await Her Trial-
A Distressing Scene in the Office of the County Prison-
Her Desire to be Tried in Brooklyn-Placed in a Cell in the Female Department.
At five minutes to one o'clock this afternoon a carriage, the blinds
of which were closely drawn, pulled up in front the jail on Raymond
street. Two men alighted, followed by a lady of advanced age.
By the combinded aid of the three, a younger woman limp and faint,
was helped to the sidwalk and up the stone stairway leading to the jail.
She could not stand alone, and she was supported by one of her male
companions at the door, while the other went back to the carriage for
a leather grip sack, some wraps, and shawls and a strapped bundle.
The men were Justice CHURCH, of New Utrecht, and one of his officers.
The women were Mrs. George Barry WALL, and Mrs. Mc Call, her
mother.Mrs. WALL wore a tight-fitting ulster of black cloth, below which
appeared the flounce of a black silk dress, edged with lace, well fitting yellow
gloves and a blue vail which enveloped her head and face.The party were
expected at the jail. When the door opened, the younger woman shuddered
and would have fallen but for the strong arm of Judge CHURCH.The officer
gave his bundles to Mrs. Mc Call, and between the two men the unfortunate
Mrs. WALL, the alleged slayer of her husband at New Utrecht on Sunday 
morning last, was carried into the office. Deputy Warden William JULIAN
was at the desk. Mrs. WALL was given a chair, but no sooner was she 
seated then she swooned. The elder woman lifted the veil from her face and one
of the windows beng opened she revived under the fresh air. From the time she
entered the office until she left it she never opened her eyes. A hectic flush on
either cheek lit up her comely, regular features and the nervous twitching of her
small hands showed the terrible struggle that was going on within while the 
necessary preliminaries where being observed by Deputy Warden JULIAN.
Justice CHURCH informed the latter that it would be useless for him to attempt
to take her pedigree, and he volunteered all the information that was required
as to her age, nativity, and so forth, with which, with consideration for the 
feelings of the accused, he had already made himself familiar.	
Mrs. WALL sat by the iron door leading to the interior of the male prison. Just
as the above formality was concluded one of the prisoners on an upper tier gave
a most unearthly yell, which was received with a bout of laughter and cat-calls
by those confined in the cells opposite to him. It could be heard as plainly in 
the office as in the prison, and Mrs. WALL clasped her hands across her breast
and then held them before her face, palms outwards. This simple gesture spoke 
volumes. It was so natural and touching that Mrs. WALL'S female companion
leaned affectionaely over and tried to comfort her. Deputy Warden JULIAN	
telephoned to the Sheriff's office: 'This woman WALL is here; is she to take the 
usual course?" An affirmative answer came back, and Mr. JULIAN informed
the reporter of the Union-Argus who was present, that Mrs. WALL would be
sent over to the female prison ( the old jail building ) after she had rested a little
in the matron's parlor, and would occupy the same room that the notorious
Mrs. HOOPER once did. Before leaving the office she begged Judge CHURCH,
in a whisper, to have her taken to some place where she could lie down for a while.
It was two o'clock before the sympathetic Justice of the Peace left the room.
He informed the reporter that he committed Mrs. WALL on a charge of 
manslaughter at the New Utrecht Town Hall this morning on the ante-mortem
statement of her husband. She waived examination, and when the commitment
was read to her, setting forth that with deliberation and malice aforethought she
did slay, etc. etc., the accused broke down completely, though assured that this
was the necessary form, and by no means implied ultimate conviction.
On the drive down to Brooklyn the Justice prepared her as best he could for the 
ordeal before her at the jail, but apparentely to little purpose.
Mrs. WALL asked  Judge CHURCH before leaving the jail to see ex- Judge
MORRIS and to retain him to defend her. She said she had been advised to 
do this by her neighbors in New Utrecht, and that she wanted to be tried
in Kings County where she and her husband had spent their married life and 
where they were known and could secure the attendance of witnesses to their
happy domestic relations without the same diffuculty which would attend a
trial in New York.
(March 6)
THE NEW UTRECHT TRAGEDY
A New York Coroner Sends a Warrant for Mrs. Wall's Arrest and 
District Attorney Catlin Refuses to  Surrender the Accused....
Two New York officers called at the residence of District-Attorney
CATLIN, on Montague street, yesterday and represented that 
they had been sent over by Coroner KNOX with a warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. George Barry WALL, now locked up in Raymond
street Jail, charged with killing her husband at New Utrecht on the
26th. ult. They said they had been at the jail and were referred by
Keeper SHULTZE to General CATLIN. The District Attorney said
that under the new Code the Coroner could not take the accused
to New York now she had been committed here by a magistrate to
await the action of the Grand Jury, but that if Coroner KNOX, or
the counsel of Mrs. WALL desired to have her present at the 
inquest, to make a statement, they could sue out a writ of habeas
corpus as testificandum, under which she would be sent over to
 New York in the custody of Brooklyn officers, who would return
with her to Raymond street after the inquest was over.
There was no legal necessity, he said for her presence at the inquest.
The officers returned to New York without the accused. District
Attorney CATLIN told a reporter of the Union-Argus this 
afternoon that he had no objection to Mrs. WALL going over to
New York to the inquest in custody if her counsel desired it, as he
did not want any conflict with the authorities of that city.
Ex-Judge MORRIS, retained on Saturday for the defence, said that
he had not yet determined what course to take in the matter.
He had a long consultation with Justice CHURCH, of Fort 
Hamilton, this afteronoon.
(15 March 1882)
The Wall Shooting
The Story of the Shooting, as Related by Mrs. Wall--
Coroner KNOX, in New York, yesterday, held the inquest in the case of 
George Barry WALL, who was shot on March 2 at his home in New
Utrecht by his wife. The latter appeared yesterday in deep mourning
and wept frequently during the inquest. Justice CHURCH, of Fort
Hamilton, testified as to taking the dead man's ante-mortem statement, 
and Dr. Frederick C. DE MUND, of New Utrecht, testified that deceased
was perfectly sound mentally when he made his ante-mortem statement.
Mr. Phoebe E. DE MUND, the wife of the latter witness, testified that Mr.
WALL at once voluntarily informed her that the pistol had gone off
accidentally in his wife's hand. The injured man said: " Be quiet."
Mrs. Wall then said impetuously: " Tell Mrs. DE MUND how it happened;
tell her that it was an accident, " and he said that it was an accident.
The Rev. Thomas G. WALL, Superintendent of the Presbyterian
Hospital and father of the deceased, testified as follows: " Sunday February
26, I was sent for by Mrs. WALL to come down immediately. A messenger
gave me the following note: Please come at once. Bring WELLS. Barry is hurt.
For God's sake hurry and save my poor boy,-Lizzie. I went at once and I asked 
him how this had happened. Said he: " The magistrate will be here in a few moments
to take my ante-mortem statement, and then you will know all. As the 
magistrate was delayed, he gave me a detailed account of the shooting. 
He said: " She has now done at once what she has been doing by inches." 
At this point Mrs. WALL broke into hysterical sobs, exclaiming: " Oh, he could 
not have said that, he could not !" The witness in continuing his statement 
said that his son told him that he was sure the pistol was not loaded. when 
he left it on the table.
Mrs. WALL was then accompanied to the stand by her counsel, and was so 
overcome by emotion that it was almost impossible to reach there without 
support. " What more can I say ? " said she, " than this, that I am innocent 
of killing my husband. We were married two years ago. Sunday morning, 
February 26, I got up very early and prepared our breakfast, as the maid had 
gone to church. Barry soon after came down. After breakfast he suggested that 
we go to the city and take a walk together. A little while afterwards he 
objected to the dress I had to wear, and said; " Don' feel badly if others 
look better than you." I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him before 
going up stairs to dress. When he came up I was partly dressed. He first came 
into my room and then went into the front room and saw the train coming. I 
told  him it was utterly impossible for us to catch it, and offered to go 
over to Fort Hamilton instead. I started alone out of the back door, but 
finding I had left my rubbers, turned back and asked the maid ( who had 
returned) to get them and tell me where my husband was. She said he was 
upstairs sitting by the window. I then started out from the front door, but 
before going far turned back to go up and find my husband. I found he had 
gone out for a walk. I started after him, and he turned to meet me. When I 
came up to him he put his arm through mine and we walked
back to the house in that way together. He then began to complain of the cars 
and seemed to be cross. I went up the stairs and took off my dress to put my room 
in order. He came up immediately and sat down by the table. I did not pay any 
attention to what he was saying, because he was out of sorts. I started from 
the bureau to the bed to put the pillows on the table and saw the pistol 
there, lying on the Bible. I picked it up to carry it across the room when it 
went off in my hand, I was stunned for a moment.
As soon as I recovered my senses I threw away the pistol and rushed to my 
husband,who had fallen on a chair. I then went to the window and screamed for 
aid, but no one came. While at the window I heard him fall and returned to 
his side. turned him over and put my finger in the wound, which gave him 
great relief., then put some books under his head, when he said, " Darling, 
don't be frightened, You couldn't help it.It was an accident. Have courage, 
for you need it now. " After that he added how much he loved me. Soon the 
maid came up and I sent her at once for the doctor.They returned and I know 
nothing more.
The jury after being out less than half an hour, brought in the following 
verdict:
" We find that Barry WALL came to his death from a pistol-shot wound 
inflicted by his wife, and we find that it was done through carelessness."
At the conclusion of the inquest Mrs. WALL was brought to Brooklyn and 
locked up in the Raymond Street Jail. She is held for the action of the Grand 
Jury upon commitment of Justice CHURCH.
(March 28)
The Grand Jury did not finish their investigation yesterday of the case
of Mrs. Lizzie WALL, held for killing her husband, George Barry WALL.
Further testimony will be taken to-morrow, to which time the Grand Jury adjourned.

Utrecht. She is still in Raymond Street jail. The case will be transferred to the 
Court of Sessions, and she will be called to plead in a day or two.

ARSENIC
Theory as to the Death of Bessie THAYER
The Result of an Investigation by the Dead Girl's Father-Why He
Claims that she was Poisoned by the Candy-Does Terra Alba
Contain Arsenic ?
The long delayed inquest in the case of the death of the child
Elizabeth M. THAYER, who was poisoned by arsenic, is to be
held on Wednesday by Coroner KELLER. The dead girl it will
be remembered, was 11 years of age, lived with her parents
in St. James place, and was thought to have been poisoned
by eating candy. The result of the examination of the girl's
stomach by Dr. BARTLEY, of the Long Island College Hospital,
was the finding of twenty grains of arsenic. No poisonous
substance was found in the candy which Dr. BARTLEY
examined. This led to the suspicion that the girl had taken
the poison intentionally Mr. Joseph THAYER, the girl's father, however, 
has all along thought, and still believes, that the candy which the child 
ate contained the poison. He had studied similar cases, 
and talked with manufacturers of candy as to the ingredients
used. To-day he had a long consultation with Coroner KELLER. He stated that 
the candy was purchased at Mrs.WilliamS' store in Waverly avenue by the girl, who was
in company with a schoolmate named Carey, on her way to school in the morning. 
Both partook of the candy ( molasses ), and in school became ill and vomited.
They were sent home by the teacher. Mr. THAYER says that he has learned that 
confectioners adulterate molasses candy with terra alba, for the purpose
 of increasing its bulk. Mr. THAYER thinks that terra alba contains 
arsenic in large quantities, and quotes recent  cases of poisoning by molasses 
candy in Philadelphia and other places in support of his theory. Mrs. WILLIAMS, 
at whose store the girls purchased the candy, says she purchased it at a 
wholesale confectioner in New York.

ASTOUNDING
Three Hundred Grains of Arsenic Found In Bessie THAYER 's  Stomach-
A Mystery Made More Mysteries.
Dr. BARCLAY, of the Long Island College Hospital, has finished the 
analysis of the viscera of Elizabeth M.THAYER, the girl who died
after eating molasses candy. The doctor reports that he found
300 grains of arsenic in the intestines, which is more than half an 
ounce in weight, or equal in weight to all the candy she ate.
The doctor thinks the arsenic was eaten in pure or in a crystalized 
form, but how or where the poison was obtained, and how the
child took it are still matters of mystery.
(March 7)
THE BESSIE THAYER CASE
Report as to the Post Mortem Examination-A Jury Impannelled by Coroner KELLER.
Dr. SHEPARD has made his report as to the post-mortem examination in the Bessie
THAYER poisoning case. He reported that he found the mucous membrane of the 
stomach reddened, and that the stomach contained eight ounces of a dark, grey, 
gruelly-looking fluid and several small and one large mass of a material very much
like soft and fresh putty sticking to the pyloris.
The allegation that Dr. BARTLEY last night denied that he found 300 grains of 
arsenic in the intestines is not true; that quantity was found, as he stated 
in the UNION-ARGUSyesterday. Coroner KELLER has impannelled the following jury
to act at the inquest to-morrow night:
M.H.MOODY, 167 St. James place
V.H. SEAMAN, 137 St. James place
H.A. BAINBRIDGE, 156 St. James place
W. GRAY, 150 St. James place
L.W. BEARDER, 144 St. James place
G.B. WINSLOW, 68 St. James place
R. BRADY, 166 St. James place.

ARSENIC
Inquest Concerning the Death of Bessie THAYER
Coroner KELLER and a jury held an inquest last evening as to the death
of Bessie THAYER, who died on January 30 last from the effects of
arsenic, supposed to have been contained in some candy which she ate.
Mr. Joseph S. THAYER, father of the dead girl, testified:
I live at No. 137 St. James place; my daughter was ten years and six months
old; on the 30th. of January she left home in her usual good health; I 
received a despatch in New York about half past three o'clock in the 
afternoon calling me home, and stating that Bessie was sick; I reached home
about half past four o'clock; when I went in she was asleep and seemed 
easy; in ten minutes she asked for me and when I reached her bedside she was
unconscious; she never spoke after she called me; Doctors HEIN and KEEP
were there before I reached home; I never kept arsenic in the house for any
purpose nor did my wife.
Dr. Max HEIN, of No. 139 St. James place testified:
I was called to see Bessie about two o'clock in the afternoon of the day on 
which she died. I did not ask her any questions, but spoke to the mother,
who told me that at half-past twelve Bessie returned from school feeling
very ill, and that on entering the house she bagan vomiting, and continued
until the time I saw her; I asked her what the child had eaten for breakfast,
and was told that it was such as she was in the habit of eating; Mrs. THAYER
said that Bessie had purchased some molasses candy; I was shown a piece of
the candy ( molasses ) and some licorice drops; I was given to understand
that she ate the candy during recess, and that being hurried swallowed a
quantity of the licorice drops whole; that, I supposed caused an acute
indigestion from which she was suffering; she became easier and I left; the 
fluid in the bowl looked clear, and not at all suspicious.
Dr. J.L.KEEP testified:
I am the family physician for the THAYERS; I was called to see Bessie about
three o'clock on the day of her death and she was then easier than 
previously; when I called she was in bed and was restless; in reply to my
questions she merely asked for water; I made a prescription and left;
she had all the symptoms of cholera morbus.
Dr. Edward W. VIETOR, of 168 St. James place testified:
When I reached Mr. THAYER's house about five o'clock the child was rapidly
sinking; her body was covered with moisture, and in a few minutes she died;
from her symptoms as described to me I decided that she died from the effects
of some irritant poison, probably arsenious acid;I had never seen a case of 
arsenic poisoning; opinions differ as to symptoms.
Mollie COREY, the 9-year old girl who was with Bessie at the time the candy was
purchased, testified:
I met Bessie at the gate of the school yard, and we went to Mrs. WilliamS'
candy store; Bessie bought six cents worth of candy- an ounce of licorice drops
and two sticks of long white candy; she gave me one of the sticks; she ate the 
other stick before she went to school; it was wrapped in colored paper; I ate
half of mine; we then went to school; I felt sick right after recess, a little after
eleven o'clock; I vomited when I was going home at twelve o'clock; I had pain
in my stomach and the back of my head, and when I got home I went to bed;
I was in bed until half-past two o'clock; I felt all right then; Bessie looked pale
in school, but did not vomit; she offered me some raisins, but I did not take
them; she ate some; Bessie went out at recess and played in the celler;
I did not play with her.
Nellie CLAXTON, of No. 70 Downing street, testified:
I played with Bessie during the recess, but she said nothing about feeling bad;
I also went home with her, and between Washington avenue and St. James
place she said she had a pain in the stomach; she had some licorice drops
and gave me three, which I ate; she also gave other girls some; she did not
give me any of the stick candy; no one gave her anything on the way home;
when I left her she was running and seemed well.
Olive CLAXTON, a sister of the previous witness, testified substantially the 
same as her sister.
Mrs. Maria PLUMP, of No. 59 Gates avenue, testified:
Deceased was my cousin; I was at Mrs. THAYER's house when Bessie came
home, and saw her a few minutes later; she was vomiting violently and I gave
her some warm tea; she vomited blood; I never saw arsenic in the house;
Bessie did not tell me that anyone had given her anything, but she said she 
had eaten too much candy.
Mr. COREY, father of Mollie CAREY, testified to the fact that his daughter 
came home ill, and that she recovered in about two hours.
Fannie BENNETT, a domestic in Mr. THAYER's employ, testified:
Bessie complained of being ill when she came home, and she had a violent
fit of vomiting; Bessie said she had bought some soft candy and some in
long sticks; Mrs. THAYER	 sent down a glass of soda, which I gave Bessie;
the child called Mrs. WilliamS "the lady," and a woman who stands at
the school gate " the old woman," she first said that  " the lady gave her
candy, and next that she bought it; I never saw any poison in the house.
Mrs. Elizabeth WilliamS, who sold the candy to Bessie, testified:
that she kept a stationery and candy store at No. 387 Waverly avenue, and
bought all her candy off two wholesale dealers in New York; she said she 
always bought the best candy and paid a good price for it; she did not
remember having seen Bessie THAYER; all her candy she said she 
purchased from either Mr. MATCHETT or Mr. WALLACE; the latter's
goods she got in New York and the former's from a wagon which was
driven through the streets; the candy which the child is said to have
eaten was sugar candy, hard and brittle; witness said she had kept the store
seven years and sold immense quantities of the candy; she said she never
kept poison in her house.
Dr. BARTLEY, who made the chemical analysis of the dead child's stomach, 
read the following statement:
In my opinion the cause of death was acute aresenical poisoning and the 
quantity found was more than enough to kill an adult.

THE VERDICT
The statement of Dr. A.W. SHEPARD, who made the post-mortem examination,
was read, as already published. The jury then retired and at a quarter-past twelve
o'clock returned with the following verdict:
We find that Bessie THAYER came to her death by acute gastritis, the result of
arsenical poison; we are unable to say from the evidence before us in what 
manner and from what source the poison was obtained; the jury are of the opinion
that the evidence presented to them is sufficient as to how the child obtained the 
poison, and they recommend that further investigation should be made by the
proper authorities, to the end that, if possible, it be discovered how said poison
was administered to or obtained by the child.

TO THE HEART
A Determined Suicide in the Eastern District
A young German named Henry HOCHSCHWENDER, who arrived in this country
two weeks ago, stabbed himself to the heart last night at No. 69 Montrose avenue.
He was born in Mannheim, in Baden, in 1862, and his parents are said to be in 
comfortable circumstances. Recently he determined to come to this country to
seek his fortune, and he induced Margarethe	 REEGER, who was his betrothed,
to accompany him. The pair arrived in New York City two weeks ago, and young
HOCHSCHWENDER obtained a lodging place at 107 Seventh street, while Miss
REEGER went over to Williamsburg, where she secured board with some friends
at No. 69 Montrose avenue. When the couple landed in New York Miss REEGER
had $40 left. This sum she gave to HOCHSCHWENDER, with the understanding
that he was to obtain employment as soon as possible. and marry her.
Last night the young man went over to Williamsburg and told the girl that he
had spent all the money she gave him and had not yet obtained a position of any
kind. HOCHSCHWENDER was in very low spirits, and Miss REEGER tried to 
console him by telling him that she had engaged to go out as a domestic and
that all would be well in a little time. The young man apparently recovered his
good spirits, and his sweetheart assured him that by and by she would be able 
to secure him employment so that they could marry. Suddenly and without a
word of warning, however, HOCHSCHWENDER, drew a large dirk knife from
his pocket and hurridly drawing it from its sheath plunged in into his body
over the heart, and fell dead instantly at the feet of the girl he was engaged
to marry.She shrieked and the occupants of the house rushed in to find her
bending over the prostrate body in the agony of grief.
The police were called in and Coroner PARKER, when notified, took the body
to his undertaking establishment until instructions as to the burial are 
received from some relatives of the young man who are said to live in 
Pittsburg. Miss REEGER, when questioned said positively that she had never
quarreled with HOCHSCHWENDER	, and that she could not understand why
he committed the act. She said last night that she wished she too was out of
the world as she had nothing in this country to live for now.

TO BE INVESTIGATED
The Death of an Inmate of the Flatbush Hospital
Abraham ADLER,  who lives at No. 19 Orchard street, New York, to-day called
on Coroner KELLER and had with that official a conversation in regard to the
death of his ( ADLER's ) brother, Isaac, which occurred at the Flatbush Hospital
for Incurables on Tuesday last. Coroner KELLER's visitor demanded that an 
investigation as to the circumstances of his brother's death be held, and told
the following story:
The dead man was 32 years of age, and formerly lived at No. 302 Atlantic avenue.
The man was paralyzed, and his speech, mind and power of locomotion were
affected. At the time of the fire in the Insane Asylum, he was confined in Hall
No. 9, in which the fire broke out. Subquently he was removed to the Hospital
for Incurables.Last Saturday a brother names Marcus ADLER, visited the 
hospital and was told that he could not see Issac, who was ill. On Wednesday
last a sister received word that her brother was dead.Marcus, who lives at No.
19 Orchard street, New York, then went to the hospital for the purpose of getting
the body but his request to that effect was refused and he went away. On 
Thursday a committee from Washington Lodge, I.O.O.F. went to the hospital
and the body was turned over to them.The death certificate stated that the 
cause of death was paralysis, but the relatives noticed, so they say, that the 
body was burned on one side from the chest to the ankle. They questioned
the authorities at the hospital as to the cause of the burns and were told that
ADLER had taken a bath in water which was too warm and had been scalded.
How a man who was paralyzed and scarcely able to move could go to the bath
tub and undress himself they cannot understand, and for that reason want an
investigation made. The body was interred in Washington Cemetery and they
ask to have it disinterred. The relatives denounce their treatment in the hospital
by the authorities. Coroner KELLER will investigate the case.

Scalding a Sick Man
Dr. John S. WOODSIDE, Medical Superintendent at the Flatbush Hospital, to-day
made a written report to Coroner KELLER in reference to the death in the 
Hospital for Incurables of Isaac ADLER, one of whose brothers had demanded
an investigation as reported. Dr. WOODSIDE states that on the 2d. last, ADLER
was scalded on the left leg and hip and a portion of the right foot, having been
taken to a bath tub by a fellow patient, who was assisting the nurses, and put
into scalding hot water. The nurses were engaged at the time in dressing other
patients. ADLER was very feeble and was suffering from general paralysis.

death, and was not thought of sufficient importance to be mentioned in the
death certificate as one of the causes of his demise.

SHOCKING-A Terrible Accident at a Laundry This Morning
A horrible and fatal accident occurred this morning at the Troy Laundry
No. 103 Pineapple street. The victim was William BRECKENRIDGE,
a driver in the employ of the laundry firm, 25 years of age, and living
at No. 555 Sackett street.
The work of the firm is done on the premises, and consequently a 
considerable quantity of machinery, shafting, etc. is used. In the rear
of the laundry, and facing an alleyway, is a small building which is used
as an engine room, and adjoining this is a shed utilized for various 
purposes. The roof of the engine-house is of tar and gravel, and very much
out of repair. This morning about a quarter past eight o'clock BRECKENRIDGE,
whose work consisted of delivering goods, was sent to the roof of the 
engine house to make such reapairs as he could. What happened while
he was there is not known, but shortly after, Robert VINT, the pedestrian, 
who keeps a saloon next to the alleyway spoken of, had occasion to go to
the street, and on stepping outside his door found the steps covered with
blood, and saw fragments of what appeared to be human flesh lying about
the alley.An investigation was at once made and a visit to the roof of the
engine house where BRECKENRIDGE had been at work revealed a horrible
sight. The body of the driver, minus both hands and feet, lay on the roof
near a point where the shafting running from the engine room to the laundry
leaves the former building. BRECKENRIDGE was still alive and physicians
were immediately summoned but before they arrived the injured man died.
The latter's feet, severed from the body, were found on the shed off the 
engine room and his hands on the shed. No one saw the accident which is
presumed to have occurred by the dead man being caught in the shafting.

SUICIDE IN THE JAIL
A German Vagrant Hangs Himself to a Cell Door--Found Dead by a Fellow Prisoner
  George ACHTMAAN, a prisoner at the jail for vagrancy, was this morning 
found hanging to the door of his cell, dead.  He had hanged himself to the 
door with a rope.
  ATCHMANN was aged 52, and was committed on the 25th ult. by Justice NASHER. 
 He was a German, and said he was a farmer.  He was a frequent lodger at 
Eastern District station-houses.  He was confined in cell No. 22 on F tier, 
with an acquaintance who was a prisoner for vagrancy also.  When the latter 
awake this morning he found ACHTMANN resting on his knees with a rope around 
his neck and one end fastened to the cell door.  The rope was plaited to 
increase its strength.  The keeper was notified and the body cut down.  It 
was cold and death had probably come several hours before.  The coroner was 
notified and the body removed to the Morgue.  The dead man's friend says he 
heard no noise in the cell during the night.

Mrs. PETERS 35 years of age, and had five children.  She had threatened to 
take her life in the event of certain occurrences.  Dr. SHEPARD found the 
coating of her stomach much inflamed, as though she had taken some corrosive 
poison.  Coroner KELLER impanneled a jury to-day and adjourned the inquest 
until after an analysis of the stomach has been made.

Dr. SHEPARD made a post-mortem examination and found that Mrs. SINDGREW died 
of pericarditis.  At the inquest yesterday before Coroner KELLER Dr. ALBURTUS 
testified that he made a mistake in filling up the certificate, intending to 
write "pericarditis."  The jury censured Dr. ALBURTUS for the discrepancy; 
they also found he had not complied with the law by registering in the County 
Clerk's office, and that before practising further he should duly qualify.

Ward's Island.  William MORGAN, a fellow immigrant, will take the children to 
their father.

ON THE CELL WALL
A Communication Written by the Vagrant Who Committed Suicide at the 
Jail--Recommendations Made by a Coroner's Jury.
  Coroner KELLER held an inquest to-day in the case of the death of George 
ACHTMANN, the vagrant who hung himself to the door of his cell in Raymond 
street Jail yesterday morning.  The testimony was the same as the story 
published in the Union-Argus yesterday.  On the wall of the cell which 
ACHTMANN occupied, however, the dead man had written a communication in 
German, a translation of which is as follows
To Michael NEUERACKS, saloonkeeper in Williamsburg, 448 Broadway: to Peter  
 MITESSER, Joseph MITESSER and Joseph STOCKERT, tailor:
 You should write to Germany.  Those four persons are my countrymen.  They 
are  the cause of my coming here and that I have to end my life in this sad 
manner  because they would not keep me over night.
  The jury returned the following verdict:
  We find that George ACHTMANN came to his death by hanging himself with a 
rope around his neck to his cell door with intent to commit suicide in a fit 
of despondency; and the jury believe that the rope was taken from the cot and 
recommend that other materials be used to bind the cots so that no rope can 
be taken therefrom; and we further recommend that more frequent inspections 
and visits to the cells ought to be made.

HANGED..   LEIGHTON Expiates the murder of Mary DEAN
THE CLOSING SCENES IN THE YARD OF THE TOMBS PRISON THIS MORNING --LAST NIGHT 
OF THE MURDERER ON EARTH--PREPARING TO MEET HIS DOOM--A CAREFUL TOILET.

Augustus D. LEIGHTON was hanged in the Tombs' yard a little after 
8 o'clock this morning for the murder of his mistress, an octoroon, named 
MARY DEAN, by cutting her throat with a razor, on June 14, 1880. At 6 o'clock 
under Sheriff STEVENS arrived at the City Prison and inspected the 
preparations made by the hangman, which were pronounced perfect by the 
veteran who has officiated at scores of executions in New York. The Rev. Dr. 
MORGAN and Colonel SPENCER, the condemned man's counsel, came soon after, and 
the former administered spiritual consolation of LEIGHTON in his cell. The 
murderer seemed very penitent. He ate sparingly of a breakfast of boiled 
eggs, rolls and coffee, and after his meal carefully attended to his toilet. 
He wore a suit of black broadcloth, standing collar and black necktie, and 
his shoes had been polished under his own supervision. It is said that he was 
so scrupulous about his last appearence in public that he sent back, 
yesterday a coat and trousers to the clothier which were misfits. Having 
dressed, LEIGHTON again listened to the ministrations of DR. MORGAN, and at 
this time his handsome coffin was brought into the female prison, in front of 
which the scaffold had been erected in the old corner sacred to innumerable 
death scenes. 
HANGED continued
       At 8 o'clock the deputy sheriffs, clad in black and carrying their 
staves of office in morning, entered the yard and formed line on either side. 
The death warrent having been read in the comdemned cell the procession 
started for the gallows, Dr. MORGAN reading the service  for the dying. 
LEIGHTON glanced quickly at the scaffold as he came out of the prison, but 
his eyes instantly fell. The executioner's assistant fixed the end of the 
noose which hung around the murderer's neck to the loop which dangled from 
the crossbeam. The black cap was pulled down over the face. Under Sheriff 
STEVENS gave the old signal with his handkerchief to the executioner, who was 
watching him through the augur hole in his box on the right of the scaffold. 
The thud of the falling axe was heard and LEIGHTON'S body shot into the air. 
His struggles showed he was being slowly strangled. In 5 minutes the body was 
lowered so as to allow the attendant physicians to hear the beating of the 
heart. In 12 minutes there was no perceptible pulse. In 15 the heart stopped 
beating and life pronounced extinct. After hanging for 12 minutes more the 
body was lowered into the coffin, an inquest was held with the usual verdict, 
and the remains were moved to an undertakers wagon to be interned inthe 
Evergreen Cemetery on Sunday.
LEIGHTON spent his last night on earth on the same couch as that 
occupied by SINDRAM? in the padded or hospital cell, to which like SINDRAM he 
was transferred as a measure of precaustion against suicide. He protested at 
first through superstitious dread, but finally became reconciled to the 
transfer and slept peacefully from 12:30 to 5:30 a.m., when he woke and on 
being told the time remarked: "Well I suppose I might as well get up."
        The murderer was a young and good-loking colored man and his victim 
was an octoroon of remarkable beauty. LEIGHTON  killed her in front of a 
house of ill-repute in West 26th. street, she having refused to have anything 
more to do with him. His case went to the General Supreme Court, and was 
decided against him. he was respited by the Governor, but efforts to save him 
were in vain. he showed rare intelligence for one of his station in life when 
his case was before the courts.

fraternized on Saturday night, and got drunk together. About half past eleven 
o'clock  they arrived at JAMES CLARK'S liquor saloon, corner of Franklin and 
Huron streets, Greenpoint, and engaged in a dispute about the quality of the 
liquor, which finally led to an argument as to which was the better man. 
FREEMAN wanted to fight, and pulling of his coat, struck CURRY. The man were 
parted by bystanders and CURRY was put out. FREEMAN followed him shortly 
after with the evident intention of renewing the combat. 
He staggered back into the saloon, a couple of minutes later covered with 
blood and said" I'm stabbed give me a place to die". He sank to the floor and 
was conveyed to THEODORE TAPKEN'S  rug store, where he expired in 15 minutes.

with credit, distinguishing himself by his bravery. During the cholera epidemic he
was appointed Health Warden and served under Mayor George HALL. In June 1863 he was
appointed Sergeant and placed in command of the Ninth sub-precinct. In 1865 he was
transferred to the Fourth Precinct, which was then infested by many gangs of
burglars; and so faithfully did he perform his duties that many residents of the
precinct desiring to show their appreciation of his services, presented him with a
silver service which cost $800. In 1869 he was transferred to the Third Precinct,
remaining there until the following year when the Metropolitan force went out of
existence. During June 1872 he was induced to apply for his former position as
Captain of the Fourth and he was at once appointed. He remained there until October
1873 when Inspector John FOLK was made Superintendent and was then promoted to the
position of Inspector. This he held until about two months ago when he retired on a
pension of $1,000 a year. He distinguished himself during the war riots and was
conspicuous in the arrest of GONZALES and PELLISIER, who were hanged for the murder
of OTERO in the City Park. His second wife and three sons and a daughter survive him.

Joseph HEALD: 'We find that HEALD came to his death on the 31st ult., by injuries
received from a fall from a scaffold at No. 255 Lafayette avenue on which deceased
and one John MALAKOS, were working, to the sidewalk. We find that the rope broke
because of the improper manner in which it was fastened to the chimney by deceased
and through his own carelessness; and we find no other person to blame. It is our
opinion that the rope was an old one, but that even had it been a better one, it
would have broken by reason of the defective fastening.'

Probable Murder
The Suspicious Death of a Junk Man�s Wife
A Quarrel Followed by a Brutal Beating
The Statements of a Son of the Accused-What His Sister-in-Law Says.
   Mrs. Ann WARREN, aged 34, died at her apartments in the two story frame
house in the rear of No. 59 North 10th street, yesterday morning. Her
sister-in-law Mrs. Sara KILPATRICK and her 12-year-old son Charley say death
was caused by the beating she received a week ago from her husband James
WARREN, a river junkman. The husband says death was caused by a drunken fall
or strangulation induced by the head hanging down from the lounge which she
was on while in a drunken stupor. Detective SHORT arrested WARREN and Justice
NAEHER held him to await the result of the post-mortem examination, which will
take place this afternoon.
   Mrs. KILPATRICK says that early on Sunday evening (the 4th inst), she and
deceased�s nephew Samuel PATTERSON, aged 30, of South Brooklyn, called on the
WARRENS. They sat and talked for some time in a friendly way and drank beer.
An allusion was made by one of the parties to the stories the neighbors told
of the way WARREN beat his wife. WARREN got angry and turning to his wife
said: 'God --- you, what have you been saying.' He afterwards drew a pistol to
shoot Sam PATTERSON for speaking up for his wife. He then went out and drank
at the corner saloon and came back and called Sam out. Mrs. KILPATRICK
prevented him from going being afraid that he would be attacked. WARREN then
got angry at her and ordered her never to come to his house again. She went
away and the next morning he called on her and said his wife had been drunk
the night before and was very sick in consequence. Mrs. KILPATRICK told him he
was a liar, but he persisted in the statement. She attended her sister in law
through the week and heard from her lips the story of the beating which cased
her sickness. She says that the unfortunate woman was much disfigured.
   Charley WARREN, the eldest son, aged 12, said: ' I was in the room at the
time my father beat my mother last Sunday. There was no one else in the room
at the time. My father came in about ten o�clock and said to my mother: 'what
have you been telling these people, you ---?' Then he kicked her on the knee
and struck her with his fists and beat and struck her till she fainted. She
begged him not to hurt her any more, but he said he�d teach her to keep her
tongue still.
   Dr. HENDERSON, the attending physician, says that the woman�s body was
frightfully bruised when he examined it. WARREN attacked him when he came to
attend her the first time and tried to throw him out of the house.
   Not long ago WARREN nearly killed his boy Charley: In fact he was afraid
that Charley was dead and kept away from home, getting sent up to Blackwell�s
Island under an assumed name for the purpose of concealment. Coroner PARKER
will hold an inquest as to Mrs. WARREN�s death.

Mrs. WARREN�s Death

fall or blows. The jury is impaneled and an inquest will be on Thursday.

Mary ROSE�s Death
Did She Commit Suicide or Was Her Husband the Cause of Her Death
   Mrs. Mary ROSE, aged 40 years, died last night at the residence of her
sister, No. 378 Baltic street, and Coroner KELLER has ordered an autopsy to be
made. The coroner was led to take this action because of facts which came to
his knowledge while at the house. Mrs. ROSE�s husband, on Wednesday last it is
said, brutally beat his wife and then deserted her. The sister told Coroner
KELLER these facts and upon examination several bruises were found on the dead
woman�s body. It is thought Mrs. ROSE either died from the effects of the
beating or committed suicide. She was very melancholy after her desertion by her husband.

Recently however MURPHY took to drink and was discharged and forbidden the
house. Then he reformed apparently and obtained another position. On Sunday
last he went on another spree and was dismissed from his employment. Last
night he called at Mr. GOFF�s house and was told by the latter�s wife that he
had better go away as he was drunk. He went directly across the street to Emil
ALSBACH�s drug store and purchased ten grains of morphine, saying that it was
for Mrs. GOFF, who is a physician. Soon after he was found on a sofa in the

Drove Over Him
   The inquest in relation to the death of John SCHILL held at Justice KIEHL�s
court yesterday afternoon under the direction of Coroner PARKER showed that
HOHMAN, the driver of the express wagon which ran over the old man was a youth
of 19, not used to driving, having been employed by KRAMEPOOL only three days,
and that one of the horses in his charge was extremely spirited and difficult
to control. The jury in their verdict exonerated HOHMAN, but censured
KRAMEPOOL for employing a minor. HOHMAN was accordingly discharged.

Fatally Burned
 A Nine Months Old Child Left Alone by its Mother Upsets a Kerosene Lamp
   Arthur BRITTON, a nine months old child, was left alone in a room at its
parents� residence, No. 1625 � Fulton street last night by its mother, seated
in a high chair at a table on which was a lighted lamp. The mother was in an
adjoining room and had her attention attracted by a crash, which was followed
by a bright light. On entering the room where she had left her son, she found
the child lying on the floor, the table cover and lamp close by and the latter
in a blaze. The lamp exploded, scattering the burning oil on the floor and
over the child�s clothing, setting fire to it. Before the flames were
extinguished the boy was so badly burned that Dr. CHILDS, who was subsequently
called, pronounced his injuries fatal. It is supposed that the infant pulled
the cloth off the table and in that way upset the lamp.

Colonel Moses SUMMERS
   Colonel Moses SUMMERS, who on the 3rd inst., fell into the hold of the bark
Prince Albert at the foot of Amity street, died last night at the L. I.
College Hospital of injuries to his spine, occasioned by the fall. Colonel
SUMMERS was born in Ireland in 1819 and was brought to this country when a
year old. He lived in Oswego where he learned the printer�s trade, until 1841
when he went to Syracuse and was employed as a printer on the Syracuse
'Standard'. That year when Jerry, the escaped slave from Missouri, was
arrested and brought into court in Syracuse, Colonel SUMMERS was one of the
party that rescued the fugitive. He was indicted for the offence, but his
trial never came off. In 1848, he purchased a half interest in that paper and
assumed editorial management. He was a great friend of General H. A. BARNUM,
and when that gentleman took the One Hundred and Forty-Ninth Regiment into the
field, he appointed Colonel SUMMERS Quartermaster. He served with the regiment
in the Army of the Potomac until after the battles of Gettysburg, when the
command was transferred to the Department of the Cumberland in the West. In
the early part of 1864, President Lincoln appointed SUMMERS Captain and
Assistant Quartermaster in the army and he was assigned to duty in the Brigade
commanded by General BARNUM in the Twentieth Army Corps. He served in this
position until the close of the war, and his large property accounts with the
Government were found to be absolutely correct and were promptly settled. For
his efficient services in the field, he was breveted Lieutenant-Colonel of
Volunteers. After the war, he was appointed Quartermaster on the staff of the
Major-General commanding the Sixth Division of the National Guard of this
State and held this position until his death. He resumed editorial charge of
the Syracuse Standard in 1865. Two years ago he was appointed Port Warden and
one year ago he resigned the editorial management of his paper. He was an
enthusiastic Republican.

Killed His Wife
How a Junk Dealer Made Himself a Widower
The Story of Mrs. WARREN�s Suffering and Death as Told before a Coroner�s
Jury-The Husband Committed to Await the Action of the Grand Jury.
   Coroner PARKER yesterday afternoon held an inquest in the case of the death
of Mrs. Anne WARREN of No. 59 North Tenth street, who died on Sunday last and
whose husband James WARREN, is accused of having killed her. Mrs. WARREN left
four young children.
   Mrs. Bridget FOLEY testified that she visited Mrs. WARREN on Friday last,
having heard that the latter was ill. She asked Mrs. WARREN how she felt and
the latter replied that she was suffering from pains in the head. She also
said that her husband treated her badly since Mrs. FOLEY moved from the house
in March last. She told the witness that Mrs. FITZPATRICK and her nephew came
to the house on the previous Sunday and that all hands had beer, after which
WARREN went out. When he returned he struck his wife with his fist and as she
put up her hand to ward off the blow he struck her hand, bending a ring which
was on one of her fingers. Mrs. WARREN also told the witness that her husband
had taken a pistol with which to shoot her nephew. She also said that her
husband kicked her while she lay on the floor and then threw her on the bed
and struck her. She begged him not to kill her. The witness said that WARREN
was in the habit of coming home late at night intoxicated while his wife was a
sober, industrious woman.
   Dr. S. M. FISK testified to attending Mrs. WARREN, who was suffering from
pains in the head, back and spine. She made no statement to him. When he
called again, she was dead.
   Dr. M. HENDERSON testified to being called on the 5th inst to attend Mrs.
WARREN and finding her suffering from bruises. She said her husband had beaten
her. Her arms and breast were discolored.
   Mrs. Sarah FITZPATRICK, sister-in-law of Mrs. WARREN, testified that the
latter came to her on Saturday a week ago and said she could no longer live
with her husband on account of his brutal treatment. On the following day the
witness and WARREN�s nephew called on the prisoner and beer was drank by all.
The nephew asked why WARREN did not treat his wife right and the latter
replied with an oath that it was none of his business; and took a pistol from
a closet, with which he attempted to shoot the nephew. WARREN then pointed his
finger at his wife and said: 'Mrs. WARREN, this is the last of you.' On the
following day Mrs. WARREN�s arms and legs were black and blue and she was
unable to move. She said her husband had maltreated her. WARREN afterwards
admitted that he took his wife from the sofa and threw her on the bed.
   Mrs. Barbara CORDIER, a former resident of the house, testified to the fact
that the prisoner frequently quarreled with his wife.
   Charles WARREN, son of the dead woman, testified to his father striking his
mother and that after witness went to bed he heard the latter say: 'For God�s
sake stop.' The witness was sent by his father for Dr. HENDERSON and
afterwards by his mother for Dr. FISK. A few minutes before his mother died
she called him to her and said she was going to die.
   Detective Martin SHORT testified to arresting WAREN after which the
statement of DR. JOSEPH CREAMER, who made the post mortem examination, was
read. The cause of death was stated to be compression of the brain, which was
caused by falling, blows or direct violence. The case was then given to the
jury, which returned the following verdict:
   'We find that Mrs. Ann WARREN came to her death from compression of the
brain due to violence at the hands of her husband, James WARREN, said violence
being inflicted on Sunday June 4.'
   By advice of Counselor George ELLIOT, the prisoner would say nothing except
that he was 37 years of age, born in England and a junk dealer. He was
committed to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Cut His Throat
A Despondent Young Laborer Draws A Razor from Ear to Ear
His Injuries of a Fatal Character
   William S. SWEENEY, of No. 8 Graham avenue, cut his throat with a razor
last night. He was taken to St. Catharine�s Hospital, where he now lingers in
a precarious condition. SWEENEY is 28 years of age and had but recently
married a young and pretty girl. He is a laborer and at first was able to keep
his wife and himself comfortably in their rooms on the fourth floor at the
place named. For some weeks past, however, he has been sick and unable to work
and this has made him very despondent. He got out of bed about midnight
without waking his wife and going to his bureau in the dark found his razor.
This he carefully stropped till a satisfactory edge was obtained, when he cut
this throat from an inch below the ear on each side, completely across
severing the trachea.
   Driven desperate by the pain of the wound and choking from the gurgling
blood that leapt from it, he rushed down stairs to the sidewalk with the razor
in his hand trying to scream. He was so weak when he got there that he
stumbled and fell. Some of the neighbors, who had been roused by the noise on
the stairs, looked out and seeing the horrible figure drenched in blood lying
in the full light of the gas lamp at the street corner they raised an alarm.
Officer MARTIN, of the Thirteenth Precinct, procured an ambulance. Surgeon
WINTER attended the wounded man and took him to St. Catherine�s Hospital.
   At noon today he is still alive, but with little or no chance of surviving
his injuries. His relatives state that SWEENEY was insane when he committed
the act.

Death of an Old Citizen
   Mr. John Richard SMITH, who died on Thursday after a short illness, was the
youngest son of James Thomas SMITH, the first manufacturer of umbrellas in
this country. He was born in Pearl street, New York February 14, 1814 and came
to Brooklyn about 1839 since which time he has been in the umbrella business
in this city. His store was burned by the great fire of 1848 and was rebuilt
on the site where 120 and 122 Fulton street now is, and where Mr. SMITH
carried on business until many business houses moved further up the street,
and then he removed to the corner of Cranberry street and Fulton where he was
still in business at the time of his death. Mr. SMITH was beloved, esteemed
and respected by all who knew him. In politics he was a strong Republican. His
funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from No. 11 Henry street.

Poison or Drink
The Death of Dudley O. BLACK of the Ship William R. Grace
What an Autopsy Revealed.
   Captain Dudley O. BLACK of the Ship William R. Grace, owned by Mayor GRACE
of New York, died yesterday on the vessel which is lying at the foot of
Congress street. The circumstances are as follows: Captain BLACK when at sea
was a total abstainer from liquors, but when in port was a hard drinker. The
vessel arrived at the foot of Congress street from Liverpool, England about
two weeks ago and since that time Captain BLACK has been on a continuous
spree. On Saturday he was taken ill while on board the ship and had a violent
attack of vomiting. The steward wished to send for a physician, but Captain
BLACK would not allow him to do so. Yesterday the captain died. The case was
reported to Coroner KELLER who ordered an autopsy, which was made today by Dr.
LEUF at the undertaker�s establishment where the body lay, No. 394 Hicks
street. Dr. LEUF found that death was caused by acute gastro enteritis. The
stomach was much inflamed giving rise to a suspicion that death was the result
of poisoning. The stomach and its contents as well as some of the vomit were
taken in charge by Dr. LEUF who will make an analysis. It is thought on the
other hand that having abstained for a long time from drink and then partaken
of it immoderately that this may have caused the stomach to become inflamed.
Coroner KELLER will hold an inquest on Thursday. Captain BLACK was about 46
years of age, lived at Searsport, Maine and leaves a widow and six children.
The body has been sent to the Captain�s late home.

Irregular Burial
An Eight Months� Old Child Buried on a Forged Death Certificate
Investigation by the Board of Health
   Sanitary Inspector FISK of the Board of Health, a few days ago, heard
rumors which led him to believe that an eight month�s old child of Mrs. Emma
NICHOLS of No. 399 Second street, E.D. had been buried on a forged death
certificate. Mrs. NICHOLS is a widow. Health Commissioner RAYMOND ordered Mr.
FISK to make an investigation and the latter has presented the following
report:
     On the evening of the 15th instant, Dr. J. SWEENEY of No. 192 North Sixth
street was called to see the child of Mrs. Emma NICHOLS at 399 Second street.
On arriving Dr. SWEENEY found the child dead and being unable to grant a
certificate referred Mrs. NICHOLS to the Coroner. Subsequently Mrs. BLAKE of
No. 399 Second street informed Mrs. NICHOLS that Mr. Charles H. TROVESTER, a
druggist at No. 76 North Sixth street would arrange the matter if he could be
furnished with a blank death certificate. At this juncture Mrs. NICHOLS
applied for assistance to Mr. Schuyler QUACKENBUSH of No. 171 South Fourth
street. Mr. QUACKENBUSH called upon Benjamin CAIN, undertaker, at No. 235
Sixth street, employed him to bury the child and requested him to procure the
certificate. The blank was obtained and Mr. TROVESTER, after filling it out,
signed the name of Dr. Henry MESSMER, of No. 368 Wallabout street. On this a
permit was granted and the child was buried under the name of Martin on the
17th inst., at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The Coroner has been informed of the
matter and the persons implicated will appear at the Health Office on Monday,
the 19th inst., at 11 o�clock A. M.
   The parties appeared before Commissioner RAYMOND today and bore out the
statement made by Dr. FISK. Coroner PARKER will have the body exhumed, an
inquest will be held and an autopsy made. The cause of death in the forged
certificate is given as congestion of the lungs. The child is said not to have
been ill until the day before it died

Death of Rev. Wm. MacKAY
   Rev. Wm MacKAY, pastor of the Church of the Covenant (Congregational) in
Classon avenue near Park place, died on Saturday at his home No. 1343 Fulton
street. Mr. MacKAY was 59 years old. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and
came to this country when about 25 years of age. In 1854 he became a member of
the Plymouth Church and began an active work as a city missionary. For a
number of years he labored among the prisoners in Raymond street jail and the
poor in the Kings County institutions. In 1868 he was ordained as a
Congregational clergyman and joined the New York and Brooklyn Association. He
then took the pastorate of the Church of the Covenant, then a mission in
Atlantic avenue. Subsequently the congregation removed to its present edifice.
Mr. MacKAY had been ill for several months. His funeral will take place
tomorrow afternoon at the church of which he was pastor and Rev. Henry Ward
BEECHER will conduct the services.

20 June 1882
Death of N. McGregor STEELE
   Mr. N. McGregor STEELE, who had been suffering from a painful disease for a
long time, died on Sunday at his home, 74 Downing street. Since his return
from Europe last spring, Mr. STEELE was confined to his bed. A few weeks ago
he caused a letter to be published in which he offered $1,000 to any physician
that would tell him what his ailment was and cure him. In reply to his letter,
he received several communications from various persons'not
physicians'suggesting remedies, none of which did him any good. He wasted away
rapidly and at the time of his death was a mere skeleton. Before his death Mr.
STEELE left explicit instructions that a private postmortem examination should
be made of his body in order that the character of his disease might be
accurately determined. Dr. Benjamin WESTBROOK made a post mortem examination
last evening under the direction of Dr. Charles H. TERRY and the result proved
the correctness of the theory that Dr. TERRY has held all along, that Mr.
STEELE had been suffering from a cancer. It was found that the cancer involved
the entire lower portion of the stomach both anterior and posterior and
extended 3 � inches around the entire circumference.
   Mr. STEELE was born in Castleton, Vermont January 7, 1836. He practiced law
in Troy for a few years and when the war broke out he joined the One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth Regiment of Volunteers and went South. He was taken prisoner
at Harper�s Ferry and detained by the Confederates for six or seven months,
when he was paroled. In 1868 he was admitted to the New York Bar and also to
that of the county and became a resident of this city. He was for many years a
Democrat. He identified himself with the Jeffersonians in their reform
movement, but last fall became a member of the Seventh Ward Republican
Association. He leaves a widow and three children. The interment will take
place at Evergreen Cemetery tomorrow at 2 P. M.

Timothy SCANLON came to his death on June 11, 1882 by injuries received by
being trampled upon and kicked by a horse driven by Mrs. OWEN of 98 Johnson

conspicuous among the flowers was a device with the words: 'Our Pastor.' Rev.
Henry Ward BEECHER preached the funeral discourse. In closing he said after
reviewing the sterling character of Mr. MacKAY: 'He was a blessing in his life
and now he is blessed. We are glad he has gone as we are glad when the ripened
grain ready for the sickle is reaped and garnered; when the bud becomes a
blossom; or the ripe fruit falls from the parent stem.' The remains were
interred in Greenwood Cemetery.

Ward B. MEEKER
   Mr. Ward B. MEEKER, a well-known resident of Brooklyn, died yesterday
morning at his late residence, No. 33 Clifton place. Mr. MEEKER was born in
Norwalk, Ct., but many years ago made his home in this city where he found a
congenial sphere for his business activity. He was a man of rare enterprise
and his commercial ability soon brought him into recognition by financial
magnates and investors. He was mainly instrumental in organizing the Fulton
Municipal Gas Company of which he became the Secretary at its birth, a
position he held at his death. To his clear head and tact that corporation
owes a great deal of the success that has crowned its operations. Mr. MEEKER
was gentle and unassuming in manner and his affability under all circumstances
and a sincerity of purpose in all he did made warm friends of mere
acquaintances and enlarged the social circle in which he moved, until few men
of his surroundings were better known or more respected throughout the city.
His personal and commercial character was of the highest and his shrewdness
and keen insight where speculative values were concerned commanded the
admiration of those who knew and understood him, while his unflagging activity
and tireless industry stamped him as a man of affairs. Indeed it is suspected
that Mr. MEEKER was a martyr to his close attention to business details. He
was never very robust, but has been ailing since May, when an attack of
typhoid fever prostrated him. He never rallied and his weak constitution
rapidly succumbed to the ravages of the disease. He was only 44 years of age
at his death.

   Louisa MEYERS, aged 46 years and living at No. 386 Seventeenth street,
started a fire in a stove in her apartments yesterday morning and to hurry it
up poured kerosene on it. The oil can exploded scattering the burning fluid on
Mrs. MEYERS, who was so severely burned that she died in a short time. Her son
Henry aged 12 years had his hands and legs severely burned in endeavoring to
assist his mother. The damage to the furniture was trifling.

   Bridget NOLAN, aged 83 years and living at 679 Atlantic avenue, while
crossing the Long Island Railway track between Schenectady and Troy avenues
yesterday afternoon was struck by a train going west and instantly killed. The
engineer and conductor were arrested. Mrs. NOLAN had been warned not to cross
the track. She wore a shawl over her head and evidently did not hear the
whistle which was blown by the engineer. Coroner KELLER will hold an inquest.

Death of Naval Lieutenant WILKINS
   Lieutenant George C. WILKINS, U. S. N., died yesterday at No. 374 Throop
avenue. He was 51 years old. He was sent out on the Tigress in search of the

injured and he was placed on the retired list three years ago. He leaves a
widow and one daughter.

27 June 1882
A Fatal Fall--
Mary TULLY, aged 50 years and living at No. 203 Court street, fell down a
flight of stairs at Benjamin KEARNEY�s residence in Lorraine, near Smith
street, last night and fractured her skull. She died in a short time.

Suicides
A Man Made Sick by Ice Water Kills Himself
   James LYNCH, aged 40, agent at 276 Marcy avenue for the Advance Oil Works,
was found dead in the cellar of his store at 9:40 last evening with two pistol
shot wounds in his head'one ball having penetrated the temple and lodged in
the brain'a small Smith & Wesson revolver with two empty chambers, lying
beside him, he having evidently shot himself. Mr. LYNCH was a veteran of the
late war, serving in the Tenth New York Cavalry. He was a stout healthy
full-blooded bachelor of a jovial joyous temperament, but the hot weather of
the last few days completely prostrated him and he made matters worse by
drinking large quantities of ice water, which produced violent pains in the
head, and there is no doubt that his consequent despondency was the cause of
the deed.

Suicide of a Milkman
   James JOYCE, a milkman, age 48 years, living at the corner of Hamburg and
DeKalb avenue, shot himself in the mouth this morning about three o�clock in
the yard of his residence with a four barrel revolver. Family troubles are
said to have been the cause of the shooting. He died almost instantly.

Fatal Accident
An Eight Year Old Boy Instantly Killed while Riding on an Elevator
   Edward HOLDEN, 8 years of age, and living at No. 324 Dean street, was
instantly killed yesterday while riding on the elevator at the Long Island
Brewery, No. 93 Third avenue. John S. EDWARDS, who was running the elevator,
says that HOLDEN and Otto WILHELM, another boy, jumped on after the elevator
had started. He (EDWARDS) got off at the third floor, leaving the boys to go
up the rest of the way alone. He says HOLDEN looked down the hatchway and
while so doing was struck by a beam. His skull was fractured and his chest

Death of Captain Joseph SPINNEY
   By the death of Captain Joseph SPINNEY Brooklyn loses another of its old
residents. Captain SPINNEY was over seventy-seven years of age and was well
known in New York for many years among shippers. He was born in Portsmouth, N.
H. He was in the Government service during the Mexican War and the Rebellion
and was the first captain that took a steam vessel out of this port for
Charleston, S. C. He leaves a widow and two children. His death took place
yesterday at the residence of his son-in-law Mr. Samuel O. BURNETT, 42

Funeral of Ex-Lieutenant William L. FRANZ, of the Thirteenth Regiment
   Ex-Lieutenant William L. FRANZ of Company C. Thirteenth Regiment, who died
on Friday last at his residence in Maywood, N. J. was buried Monday from the
residence of his brother-in-law Mr. John T. KINNEY, 418 Third street near
Sixth avenue. Deceased had been suffering from lung disease about three years.
He was an active member of the Thirteenth, thirteen years having enlisted in
Company C in 1868. Was promoted sergeant and first sergeant in 1873; second
lieutenant in 1879 and first lieutenant in 1880 and received his discharge in
1881. Was informally tendered the captaincy of his company, but declined in
consequence of failing health. He was one of the originators of the very
successful military bouffes and in the first and second acted as the Colonel.
In civil life as well as in military, he was a general favorite. In 1879 he
was appointed by the Board of Aldermen as Committee Clerk and in 1880 Mayor
HOWELL appointed him City Librarian. About a year ago he removed from this
city to New Jersey hoping that the change might improve his health, but he
gradually sank. He was in his thirtieth year and unmarried, and would no doubt
have made a bright mark had his health remained good. Company C paraded in
full strength at the funeral in citizens� dress, fatigue cap and white gloves.
The pall bearers were ex-Captain John PEDROCELLI, Company C; Captain E. M.
SMITH, Company B; ex-Sergeant George FOLLENUS, Company C; ex-Sergeant Peter A.
MILLER, Company C; Thos. DUMBLETON and Chas. A. ERNST, veterans of Company C.
Several beautiful floral devices were placed upon the coffin. Besides Company
C there were many members of the regiment present. 
The interment was at Greenwood Cemetery.

FARAN, the six year old boy who was knocked down by a wagon driven by Thomas
WOOD at the corner of Atlantic and Grand avenues a few days ago. The jury
found that FARAN�s death was due to his own carelessness, but that at the same
time the driver of the wagon ought to have been more watchful.

has been stopping temporarily at No. 7 McDougall street, while engaged

Died a Drunkard
Domestic Infelicity and Liquor
From Wealth and Respect to Poverty and Degradation
The Sad Story of a Mispent Life-Death from an Overdose of Chloral
   Frederick A. BURROUGHS, a pedler aged 40 years, was last night found
unconscious in a room at No. 121 Tenth street, South Brooklyn, which he hired
from the owner of the building, Mr. SMALLEY, and died in a short time. The
case was reported to the police as one of suicide, but later developments
proved that death was caused by an overdose of chloral. BURROUGHS had been on
an extended spree and took the chloral to induce sleep. The chloral was
purchased at the drug store corner of Third avenue and Ninth street and the
label called for a tablespoonful to be taken every hour. Instead of following
the directions he swallowed the contents of two bottles. On the bed near where
the dead man lay was a letter of which the following is a copy:
New York, Nov. 12, 1882

Dear Halley and Gracie,
  I have not seen you since the latter part of August to speak to either of
you. I called at Duffield street to see you in September last. You had gone.
Will you write and tell me how you got along in the country? I wish you would
ask your mother to let you both come with me some day and get both of your
pictures taken. If she is willing you can write to me. Direct your letter F.
A. BURROUGHS, Post Office, Brooklyn, L.I. N.Y., and I will send you word where
to meet me and the time. It will be in some photographer�s on Fulton street or
Myrtle avenue. If she is willing I will give her a picture the same as the one
I get for myself. My dear little ones I long to pass an hour or two in your
company, but as fate seems to make it otherwise, I can still love you both in
my thoughts. I send you my love. May God bless you both is the wish of your
affectionate father
Fred A. Burroughs

P.S. -Enclosed are postage stamps for a letter from each of you to me and
which I will look for.
Papa

   BURROUGHS was at one time one of the most successful business men in the
Eastern District and was very wealthy. He did a thriving business as a hatter
at the corner of Broadway and Fourth street, and was the owner of a large
parcel of real estate in the most valuable part of the Eastern District.
