SHOT BY HER SISTER
Shocking Occurrence in a Gates Avenue Household
Mrs. Ann CARBERRY Dangerously Wounded by Her Insane
Sister, The Result of Brooding Over an Imaginary Wrong
  A peculiarly sad case of shooting occurred last night in Gates 
Avenue, and the victim, a highly respected lady, now lies in a
dangerous condition at he home, and her recovery is a matter of
much doubt. The facts in the case are these:
  Mrs. Ann CARBERRY, 38 years of age, lives at the corner of 
Marcy and Gates Avenues with her husband and family. Mr. 
CARBERRY keeps a saloon in the neighborhood. For the past
year a sister of Mrs. CARBERRY, Mrs. Ann WILKINS has been 
living with the family. The latter is 52 years of age and a widow.
For several months past she has shown symptoms of insanity, 
and has been under the care of Dr. COREY, the insanity expert.
Mrs. WILKINS is in possession of some property, and since she 
has become deranged her mind has run continually on the subject
and she has brought herself to believe that her sister Mrs. 
CARBERRY, was endeavoring to defraud her of it.
  About five o'clock yesterday afternoon MR. and Mrs. CARBERRY,
their young child, Mrs. WILKINS and a domestic ate dinner. Directly
the meal had been eaten, Mr.CARBERRY started off for his saloon
and the servant went to the cellar to procure a scuttle of coal, leaving 
Mrs. WILKINS, Mrs. CARBERRY and the latter's child alone in the 
room. When the domestic reached the cellar she heard the report of a 
revolver and hurrying back to the dining room found Mrs. CARBERRY
lying prostrate on the floor face downwards. She gave an alarm 
immediately, to which Officer DOWNEY responded. Mrs. CARBERRY 
stated to the officer that she had been shot by her sister Mrs. WILKINS.
The officer found the latter in her own room with a revolver in her hand 
and arrested her. Medical aid was summoned for Mrs. CARBERRY and
Dr. BURDICK and PALMER made an examination of the wound. It was 
found that the ball had entered the left side of the neck under the ear, 
and passed around to a point under the left eye. Dr. BURDICK probed 
for the ball and eventually succeeded in removing a portion of it.
  Captain McLAUGHLIN interrogated Mrs. WILKINS as to her reason for
having shot her sister and she responded that the latter was endeavoring 
to defraud her out of her property by having her (Mrs. CARBERRY'S)
name inserted in certain deeds. She said she meant to kill Mrs. 
CARBERRY, and was sorry that the wound had not resulted fatally, for 
then the newspaper reporters would interview her and she would be able
to tell the story of her wrongs to the public through the medium of the 
press. As to how she came in possession of the revolver she stated that 
several days ago she determined to kill her sister and purchased a 
revolver on Fulton Street. On reaching home and examining the weapon she 
came to the conclusion that it was to small for the purpose and that it would 
be necessary for her to secure a larger one. Accordingly she went to the 
store where she made the purchase and changed the revolver for a Smith & 
Wesson of larger calibre. This she placed in her pocket yesterday when dinner 
hour arrived, and waiting until Mr. CARBERRY and the servant had left the 
room shot Mrs. CARBERRY. Mrs. WILKINS 'idea that her sister is 
attempting to defraud her is based on nothing but her own insane imagination, and is 
denied by her own son.
  Mrs. CARBERRY stated to Captain McLAUGHLIN that she was sitting at the 
table when her sister approached her from behind and fired the shot. Today Mrs.
WILKINS expressed her disappointment that the shot had not had an immediate
fatal effect.

A  RANDOM  SHOT
How a Gang of Roughs Raised a Row and an Inoffensive Man was Shot for it. 
  James BIDWELL, of 515 Manhattan Avenue, a well known rough, accompanied by 
about eight others, went into O'HARA'S saloon, corner of Manhattan and Green Street, 
last night about 10:30 o'clock. The barkeeper John RILEY, stopped serving liquor 
to them at the third round of drinks and demanded payment. This made the party 
under BIDWELL very indignant and they began an assault on RILEY. Bottles and 
tumblers flew from all directions, and BIDWELL seizing a stone matchbox, jumped 
upon the bar, threatening to kill RILEY, who fired his revolver, with his usual 
ill-luck attending a random shot. His bullet struck George MALLOY, a young man
who was not at all concerned in the disturbance. The wound inflicted is not 
supposed to be dangerous. Both RILEY and BIDWELL were arrested.

THE CARBERRY SHOOTING CASE
Mrs. WILKINS' Persistence in getting a pistol, Condition of her 
Sister.
  Mrs. Catherine CARBERRY, who was shot on Monday night 
by her insane sister, Mrs. Ann WILKINS, still lies at her residence,
corner of Marcy and Gates Avenues, in a precarious condition. The 
physicians have been unable to extract the bullet. It has been 
ascertained that Mrs. WILKINS purchased the first revolver, which
she thought too small to carry out her purpose, at a Court Street
store. The clerk who sold her the weapon gave her blank cartridges
with it, and for so doing was soundly berated by her when she 
called the second time to have the revolver changed for one of a 
larger calibre. She called at the place in all four times, on each
occasion wishing to make a new choice. The fourth time she was
told that she must keep the weapon she had or pay for another.
She then went to a Fulton Street store and purchased the weapon 
with which she shot her sister.

OFFICER KNIPE 'S BRAVERY.
A Special Report of the Fire in Grand Avenue Yesterday. The Officer to
be Commended by Commissioner JOURDAN.
  In accordance with an order made by Superintendent of Police, CAMPBELL,
Captain WILLMARTH, of the Fourth Precinct, has forwarded the following 
report in regard to the action of Officer KNIPE at the fire at No. 142 Grand
Avenue yesterday morning:
  Patrolman Wm. KNIPE, of my command, reported that at 3:40 A.M., while 
on patrol duty, he discovered smoke issuing from the second story of 142 
Grand Avenue. He immediately ran there and entered the front door and ran
up stairs to the second story, where the smoke was so dense that it drove him 
back. He then entered the room on the first floor and helped Mrs. Bridget
WHELEHAN, who occupied the floor, to the street, and then made another 
attempt to get into the rooms on the second floor, but was driven back by
smoke. He returned to the sidewalk, when a small boy told him there were 
children on the second floor. He then made another attempt to enter the rooms,
when he heard a man's voice calling him to come and help him for God's sake!
But the fire was burning so fiercely that he could not get into the room. He left 
went to the sidewalk where Mr. John LOFTUS, who occupied the second floor,
broke the window and threw his six children out to him. He caught the children 
in his arms. He then assisted Mr. LOFTUS and his wife out of the window, which
is ten feet from the sidewalk. The parties were all uninjured. The upper part of
the house was badly burned and without the officer's assistance the fire might
have been fatal to some of the occupants. The children's ages range from 
2 to 14 years. The officer's mustache was slightly scorched. I think the officer's
action in the matter very commendable.
  Commissioner JOURDAN is to issue an order commending Officer KNIPE'S 
bravery at the fire.

defense. He was convicted of manslaughter in the fourth degree.

A Brutal Father
Beating his ten year old son so badly as to necessitate his removal to the 
hospital--the police after the father
Mrs. Bridget MACKLINE, of No. 56 Main street, told the Third Precinct police 
an extraordinary story this morning.  She said that for months past her 
husband Owen had without the slightest cause been in the habit of brutally 
beating their ten year old son David.  She said that her husband seldom saw 
the boy, but that when he did he invariably treated him in a most cruel 
manner.  This morning, she said, when her husband got out of bed he called 
the boy, and without a word passing between them seized a heavy stick, with 
which he beat him.  The boy, in attempting to escape, fell over a pail and 
hurt himself severely.  He was barely able to accompany his mother to the 
station-house.  Ambulance surgeon CRADDOCK was summoned, and upon examination 
found that the boy's body and limbs were covered with bruises.  He was 
removed to the Cumberland Street Hospital.  Captain LEAVEY notified the 
Second Precinct police of the case and search was made for MACKLINE, but 
without success.  The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children have

THE KNIFE.  Stabbing Affray In A Swedish Boardinghouse.
A sailor Severely Wounded During a Row that Followed a Joilification.
  While Officer TIERNEY, of the First Precinct, was standing on the corner of 
Smith  street and Atlantic avenue about half-past twelve o'clock last night, 
he was told that there was a man stabbed down the street in the Swedish 
boarding-house, Nos. 275 and 277 Atlantic avenue.  The officer hurried to the 
house, and when within a few rods of it met a man whose face and clothing 
were covered with blood.  The man was Frederick FULK, one of the inmates of 
the boarding-house, and he said he had been stabbed by John FLINK, a 
fellow-boarder.  FULK was suffering from three stab wounds in the left side 
of the face and the Three Cuts Running Into One made a frightful gash.
  Officer TIERNEY, accompnied by Officers HOWARD and BRADY, after sending for 
an ambulance, went into the house.  There they were told the following story: 
FULK is a sailor, who when ashore boards at the house where the stabbing 
occurred.  He returned yesterday from a voyage, and last night, with some of 
his fellow-boarders, was having a good time in the house.  FLINK is a 
machinist and was not one of the party.  About midnight he intruded his 
presence upon the others and seemed determind upon a row.  He eventually 
succeeded in making himself so obnoxious that it was determined to eject him. 
 Before carrying out their intention there was a rough and tumble fight, in 
which FLINK was badly bruised about the face.  The latter was finally put out 
and waited on the landing a few feet from the door.  FULK soon after came out 
and as he passed FLINK the latter made a lunge at him with the knife and 
followed this up with two other blows, inflicting three wounds.  FLINK then 
went to his own room opened the window and jumped out on a piazza, and then 
into the yard.  The officers searched for FLINK, and TIERNEY
Found Him Asleep
on a pile of wood in a kindling wood yard, adjoining the boardinghouse.  The 
prisoner was taken to the First Precinct Station-house and FULK to the Long 
Island College Hospital.
  The prisoner tells a story which differs from the above.  He says that 
FLINK and three others armed with knives entered his room and assaulted him.  
He defended himself, but had no knife.  As soon as he released himself he 
jumped from the window.  A man named WALLACE, who occupied the room with 
FULK, also escaped through the window.  FULK says they mistook him for 
someone else, but in the dark did not realize their mistake.
  Justice WALSH committed the prisoner to jail until Wednesday next for 
examination.  Ole CARLSON, an inmate of the house, says that FULK struck 
FLINK, knocked him down and kicked him, and chased him upstairs.  At the door 
of FLINK's room the latter in attempting to push FULK away was stabbed three 
times in the wrist.  He then went into his room and closed the door.  An 
attempt was made to break into the room, and there was a fight in the hall 
during which FULK was stabbed by one of his own friends.

the bride determined last week to make the tie doubly binding by being 
married again.  Mayor LOW accordingly tied another knot for the couple, but 
there was bound to be some mistake, so the person who made out the 
certificate of marriage dated it April 8, 1883, and the mayor signed it in 
that shape.  The bride, deeming the date skightly "too previous," proposes to 
ask the Mayor for another certificate.  The couple reside in South Brooklyn.

(which consists of his wife, two daughters and two sons, all of which children 
are of age) of a piece of ham that they had purchased from a butcher named SMITH, 
who keeps at the corner of Maujer and Agate streets.  They shortly afterwards 
were seized with illness, which yesterday had proved so serious as to cause 
them to call in the services of a physician.  Dr. Julius GRADINGER was sent 
to, and after examination of the patients gave it as his opinion that the case 
was one of trichinosis, the meat not having been sufficiently boiled.  The ham 
meanwhile had been conveyed back to SMITH, with the exception of a small 
portion, which was at once secured by the doctor for the purpose of examination.  
He, not, having, himself, a sufficiently strong microscope to detect the 
presence of the animalculse, to the sample of ham to Dr. LOEWENSTEIN. who 
will examine it with his powerful instrument.
  When the facts were made known to Health Commisioner RAYMOND that official 
telephoned to Meat Inspector HOBDAY to go to the butcher shop and make a 
thorough investigation and search for more bad meat.  Drs. DE LONG and FISK, 
Inspectors, were ordered to visit the shop to act in the interests of the 
Board of Health in case an order of complaint is necesary.
  The unfortunate family meanwhile are very sick, but the result is in doubt.

knife in his hand. I struck him and knocked him down, and then went to the 
Sheriff's office to get my pistol. When I returned to the saloon DAVIDSON 
came for me again, knife in hand. I grabbed for the knife and succeeded in 
catching hold of it, and in taking it from him, but I was cut on the small 
finger of the right hand, the flesh being laid open to the bone. Then I drew 
my pistol and beat him with it on the head until he became senseless and fell 
to the floor. I then carried the stuff away."

WANTED TO DIE
THREE UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE
FOR THE LOVE OF LARRY--WHY A BROOKLYN GIRL ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY JUMPING 
OVERBOARD AT HIGH BRIDGE.
        MINNIE SCHAEFER, 24 years of age, and a daughter of NICHOLAS 
SCHAEFER, a piano maker, living at No. 298 17th. street, this city, yesterday 
attempted to end her life by jumping into the Harlem River, near High Bridge. 
A boatman picked her up and was placed in charge of the police. She appeared 
to be weak minded. She stated that she was employed as a domestic in a family 
named GREENFIELD, in this city, and had an admirer whom she called LARRY, but 
whose full name she refused to divulge. In the same family was another 
servant named KATE, to whom she ascribes all her troubles. LARRY was in the 
habit of visiting her frequently, and the fellow-servant constantly 
interfered between them, warning her not to have anything to do with LARRY. 
KATE told her LARRY was a married man and was only seeking to betray her. 
This provoked her, and she and kate had numerous quarrels, until finally she 
became, as she said, tired of living. She left Brooklyn yesterday morning and 
crossing over to New York, took the elevated railroad on the West Side, and 
rode to the end of the route, and then wandered down to the High Bridge and 
dock and there jumpted into the water.
        She subsequently expressed sorrow for what she did, and promised not 
to repeat the attempt to life. In a letter which she left on the bank of the 
river, she attributed her desire for death to "LARRY and KATE". She has not 
been seen by her relatives two weeks. Before leaving home she said to her 
mother that if LARRY deserted her she would go wild. LARRY is LAWRENCE  
STONE, a grocer's clerk in 9th avenue. Miss SCHAEFER'S folks think she is out 
of her mind.

turned in all his money to her. "But' she continued "he is suffering from jealous
insanity. He won�t let me go out of the house. He locks the doors and fills the
keyholes with tinfoil. Goodness knows he needn�t be jealous of me. I don�t want other
men. I�ve got enough of them with him and my crippled son.' The woman was advised to
call on the Charity Commissioners.

***********************An Explanation

What Detective MAHONEY has to Say of the Sensational Story about Maria SWENSON
   Detective Cornelius J. MAHONEY tells a story which puts an entirely different face
upon the case of the Swedish girl Maria SWENSEN.  The true story is this: The girls,
with a number of her countrywomen, was brought to this country by the Inman Steamship
Company and was to be sent to Grosvenor Dale, Conn., to work in a factory there. She
wandered or was enticed from Castle Garden and was next seen in the Sixth Ward in
this city, having been taken to the residence of Abram JUST, by an unknown Swede who
said he took an interest in the girl who was a stranger, and asked that JUST keep her
until the following day. This he did, and the next day when the man came, he said he
had a place for her in One hundred and twenty-fourth street, New York. JUST was
suspicious and sent his nephew to follow the fellow who took the girl to a Swedish
boarding house, No. 325 Atlantic avenue. Then the steamship people sent over an
officer to the Third Precinct, and Detective MAHONEY, who had been made aware of the
facts in the case, went with him to the boarding house. P. R. JOHNSON, who keeps the
house, was not at home, and the officers waited until he came. During a conversation
which followed a man named FENK, one of the boarders, interfered and made himself so
obnoxious that Detective MAHONEY threatened to eject him from the room. The New York
officer, PAPPE by name, took the girl, who willingly went with him to Castle Garden.

Married
   JOOST--HOFF  --On Thursday June 8 at the residence of the bride�s parents, but
the Rev. D. V. JOHNSON, D. D., Martin JOOST to S. Frances HOFF, all of Brooklyn.

THREE WEDDINGS ON THE HILL AND HEIGHTS YESTERDAY
   Miss Florence E. SHELDON, daughter of Mr. Henry SHELDON, of Pierrepont street, and
Mr. Edward PARSONS, were yesterday afternoon united in marriage at the residence of
the bride�s parents. The wedding was one which had created considerable gossip among
the fashionable circles in consequence of the position the contracting parties
occupied in society. The wedding was somewhat quiet, there being a little over 200
invitations issued. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles Cuthbert HALL,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church on Henry street. The parlors were very
attractively ornamented with flowers. At the head of the parlor where the bride and
groom stood was a large floral canopy composed of rare buds and trailing smilax. A
floral marriage bell depended from a mass of flowers between the rooms and balls of
roses and other designs of beauty were everywhere displayed. Mr. Charles F. SHELDON
was the best man. The ushers were the brother of the groom, Mr. Henry C. PARSONS; Mr.
Edward MEYERS, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Charles W. WEST, of this city. There were no
bridesmaids. The bride was attired in a rich robe of white satin and moire, relieved
with point lace. The veil was also of point lace. The reception, which followed the
ceremony, was an exceedingly brilliant event.

HAZEN--HERRIMAN
   Mr. Horace C. HAZEN and Miss M. Bell HERRIMAN, daughter of Mr. Stephen H. HERRIMAN
were married last evening by the Rev. Charles Cuthbert HALL. The ceremony was
performed at the residence of the bride�s parents on Joralemon street in the presence
of a large number of relatives and intimate friends. The parlors were appropriately
ornamented with flowers. Mr. W. HERRIMAN, a brother of the bride, was the best man,
and the ushers were Mr. M. H. BOWEN, Mr. PARKER, Mr. HUGHES, Mr. Henry LEVERICH and
Mr. S. CUMMINS. The bride was dressed in white satin, trimmed with point lace. The
reception was largely attended. The presents were very numerous.

10 June 1882
TRUANT HOME INVESTIGATION
   The Truant Home Committee met, Alderman ARMITAGE presiding, and continued the
investigation of the charges of cruel treatment of boys in the Truant Home.
   The first witness examined was Eugene MARTIN, who has been teacher at the Home for
the past thirteen years and six months. Mr. VONTOM has been assistant teacher since
September 1, 1877. During all this time, he [MARTIN] said, I have not thought it my
duty to speak to him [VONTOM] about his treatment of the boys at the Truant Home. We
may have talked the matter over several times. He has corrected the boys in a manner
that I thought was severe, but I couldn�t say that he punished them more than they
deserved; that was a matter for the Superintendent to decide. I don�t think I
punished the boys as severely as he did for the same kind of offence.
   He punishes his own boys and I punish mine. I never remonstrated with him about
severe punishment of the boys because I did not think it my duty to do so. Never
spoke to the Superintendents about Mr. VONTOM. Mr. PENSON spoke to me about the
chastisement of these children, but I did not think they had been improperly flogged.
   Alexander PENSON, who is now Superintendent of the Truant Home, said: I had the
boys GABEY and DAILEY under my charge. GABEY was beaten four weeks ago, Mr.
STRICKLAND, the day watchman calling my attention to his treatment. He [GABEY] was
marked about the side of the body and the head. I called Mr. VONTOM�s attention to
his harsh conduct toward the children, and I spoke to Mr. MARTIN about it. Mr. MARTIN
said he had remonstrated with Mr. VONTOM, but it did not seem to have the desired
effect. There was the best of feeling between Mr. VONTOM and myself until this affair
occurred.
   In reply to questions of Mr. VONTOM�s counsel, Mr. PENSON said he had never taught
school nor had charge of such an institution before; was never for any length of time
in the school and never saw any punishment inflicted on the boys. Never asked Mr.
VONTOM how the boy GABEY came to have those marks upon him and have not spoken to him
about DAILEY. Had once had a difficulty with Mr. MARTIN, the teacher, because he
slapped a boy on the side of the head.
   Mr. MARTIN, the teacher, recalled, said that generally the boys at the Truant Home
were bad. GABEY and DAILEY were very difficult boys to get along with-among the worst
in the school. Corporeal punishment was always the custom at the institution. Had
known Mr. VONTOM to strike a boy with his open hand, but not with his fist. Under the
circumstances said Mr. MARTIN I would have corrected the boy GABEY. Have never known
Mr. VONTOM to punish a boy undeservedly. Never saw the marks on the boys GABEY and
DAILEY and have no opinion in regard to that occurrence. We tried to get along
without corporeal punishment, but the boys got demoralized and used vile names. We
can�t get along well without it. Mr. VONTOM has assisted in getting up entertainments
for the boys; on the whole he is a painstaking teacher and does the best he can with
them.
   Jared CLARK, ex-Superintendent of the Home, testified that he had occasion to
speak to Mr. VONTOM about improperly flogging the boys. Impressed it also upon Mr.
MARTIN that the boys must be properly taken care of. Thought that Mr. VONTOM had not
complete control over his temper. The character of the boys was enough to try the
temper of any teacher who came in contact with them. After speaking to Mr. VONTOM and
Mr. MARTIN about the management of the boys, there was no trouble on the subject.
   Martin J. FITZGERALD, a teacher in the Attendance School, said that the boys who
are sent to the Attendance School are incorrigible. If they don�t behave, they are
sent to the Truant Home. GABEY was a very incorrigible boy; he was troublesome,
annoying and very disorderly. I punish boys on the hand with a rattan, generally.
   John GALVIN, another ex-Superintendent of the Home, said he always found Mr.
VONTOM very kind and gentle to the boys. William McTAMMANY, also an
ex-Superintendent, said he had occasion to speak two or three times to Mr. VONTOM for
whipping the boys too severely. When one of the boys was examined there were marks of
beating upon him from the knees to the back of the neck. I threatened to report him
to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
   Mr. FLANNAGAN, formerly a day watchman at the Truant Home, said he had seen marks
of punishment upon six or eight of the boys, which he had no doubt were made by Mr.
VONTOM. On one occasion he saw a boy thrown on the snow and beaten with a shovel by
him on the back. Had seen him throw boys down in the school and beat them while they
were on the floor. Mr. VONTOM, he thought, had not treated him like a gentleman.
   Ex-Superintendent GALVIN, recalled, said he would not believe FLANNAGAN under
oath.   The committee adjourned to Friday next.

about 20. When he 'arrived in town' he set out to see the sights of New York.
So he jumped on a Third avenue car. On this line of cars there are registers
constructed so as to record the number of fares. Attached to these registers
are small cords running from one end of the car to the other so that the
conductor at whatever place in the car he may be may register a fare. Zach had
been in town about long enough to see other folks pull a cord to stop the car;
so as the place he wanted to stop at was the next corner, he gave the cord a
jerk. But only the tinkle of a little bell was heard. The car kept on just the
same. He imagined that either the driver did not hear the bell or they would
not stop for him; and as Zach was one not to be fooled he again caught the
cord in his hand and gave it three very demonstrative jerks. The car kept on
just the same. So by this time Zach concluded that the driver knew more about
where he was going than he did himself. So he sat back in his seat. But soon
the man who always holds out his hand to you for fare came in and walking
meekly up to Zach very gracefully extended his hand with a calm 'twenty cents
if you please.' The astounded countryman almost gasped for breath, but
inclined to be inoffensive, put his hand in his pocket and laying the two
dimes in the conductor�s hand said: 'Well I never knew you had to pay to get
out before,' and with this made a graceful curve for the handle of the door,
which he missed, and the last seen of him was when he jumped for the sidewalk.
The car, however, kept on just the same.

Didn�t Want the Children
   Michael DONOHUE, of No. 254 Plymouth street, was arraigned before Justice
WALSH yesterday on a charge of beating his wife Bridget. The latter did not
care to press the charge of assault, but wished Justice WALSH to order Michael

husband was equally averse to taking charge of them. DONOHUE was discharged
and the children are now in the mother�s charge.

and removed to the Cumberland Street Hospital.  KNOOP, after the shooting, 
ran off, and has not yet been captured.  His wife told Captain FOLK the 
following story of the shooting:  she and her husband were walking along 
Buffalo avenue, near the city line, about eight o'clock last night, when they 
were attacked by SEYMOUR and several of his friends, who stoned KNOOP.  
Several of the missiles struck KNOOP on the head and cut him.  To protect 
himself he drew his revolver and fired.  The two men had been bad friends for some time.

21 June 1882
A Mad Act-A Woman Jumps from a Second Story Window while Intoxicated
   Mrs. Annie BUCKLEY, aged 28 years, last night jumped from a window in her
apartments on the second floor of No. 144 North Eighth street, while
intoxicated, and seriously injured her spine. Mrs. BUCKLEY was in delicate
health and her injuries are of such a character that they will probably result
fatally. She was picked up by neighbors who cared for her until the arrival of
Ambulance Surgeon WINTER, who removed her to St. Catherine�s Hospital in the
ambulance. No other reason than that Mrs. BUCKLEY was insane from drink is
assigned for her act.

A Woman�s Rage
Mrs. Catherine PAASCH Shoots the Man of her Choice
A Startling Sequel to a Remarkable Case-Illicit Love that did not run
smooth-The Result of Dissipation, Jealousy and Quarrels-A Wound that will
Probably Heal.
   Herman BREIMANN, a German tailor, aged 45 years, was shot this morning by
Mrs. Catherine PAASCH, with whom he has been living for some time past at 570
Willoughby avenue, corner of Tompkins.  Mrs. PAASCH was arrested and BREIMANN,
whose injuries-consisting of a wound in the upper part of the left thigh-are
not thought to be of a dangerous nature, was removed to the City Hospital.
   The principals in the shooting will be remembered in connection with a
remarkable suit for damages, which was recently decided in one of the local
courts, and which attracted much attention. BREIMANN and Mrs. PAASCH met on
the street in this city about four years ago and became acquainted in that
way. At this time BREIMANN�s home was at Poughkeepsie, where his wife was
living. He became so enamored of Mrs. PAASCH and she of him that they decided
to abandon their respective partners and live together. This they did and in
accordance with the agreement took up their abode in this city. BREIMANN by
trade was a tailor and he opened a shop in the house where the shooting
occurred, which is owned by Mrs. PAASCH. About two years ago his wife, after
repeated attempts to induce him to leave Mrs. PAASCH and live with her,
brought suit against Mrs. PAASCH for damages for having taken her husband from
her. The case was fully reported at the time and resulted in Mrs. BREIMANN
obtaining a verdict for damages, but which has probably never been paid.
   For several months past at least, Mrs. PAASCH and Mr. BREIMANN have not
lived in unity. Quarrels have been of daily occurrence and the termination was
reached this morning when the shooting occurred. A report of the occurrence
was made to Superintendent CAMPBELL by Sergeant NELSEN of the Ninth precinct
by order of Captain McLAUGHLIN as follows:

        At 7:10 this A.M. Catherine PAASCH, aged 45 years, and Herman
BREIMANN, aged 45 years, a tailor, quarreled at their residence, No. 570
Willoughby avenue, where they keep a tailor shop. He had been drinking and he
struck her with a smoothing iron. Then she got a pistol that was lying on the
counter and shot him through the thigh. He was attended by Dr. WOODRUFF and
Ambulance Surgeon MERRELIESS and taken to the City Hospital. Mrs. PAASCH was
arrested by Roundsman SLACON and Officer O�CONNELL and taken before Justice
FISHER on a charge of assault with intent to kill.
     Mrs. PAASCH denied that she shot BREIMANN intentionally and claimed that
the revolver went off through accident. BREIMANN however thinks differently.
He was seen this morning at the City Hospital by a reporter of the Union Argus
to whom he talked freely.

   He said that he and Mrs. PAASCH had quarreled much of late, but it was on
account of the latter�s violent temper. He said she became angry on Sunday
last because he refused to take part in a row she had with some neighbors
about a grocer living in the vicinity. On Monday she wished to go to Coney
Island and although he had a job which must be done tonight and would require
at least two days and a half for the doing of it, he said he would go. The
rain, however, prevented them from going. Since then she has quarreled
continuously with him and last night complained because he was out so often.
He said that sometimes when he came home he found all the doors fastened and
that she would be absent in the company of other men. She must prefer them to
him so he thought it made no difference how much he stayed away. Yesterday he
said he decided to leave her and engage a furnished room. While on his way to
a newspaper office he met Constable CORDES, of the Nineteenth Ward, and
arranged with the latter to get a room, providing the Constable would see to
it that Mrs. PAASCH did not call and make trouble. Then he went home and told
Mrs. PAASCH what he intended to do and said he would advertise for employment.
She became angry and finally so violent in her rage that he was afraid of her.
This morning the subject came up again, and when he repeated his determination
to leave she "flew at him." He went to a basin which was in the corner of the
room to wash and while he stood there, she fired at him with the result as
above stated. He said Mrs. PAASCH drank at times, and when angry became so
passionate that to control her was impossible. She had several times attacked
him with a knife and he showed the reporter several cuts on his fingers, which
he said she had inflicted. He denied an allegation that she made to the police
that he had endeavored to persuade her to sell some property that she might
furnish him with money. He said she had requested him a number of times to
marry her, but that he told her he would never do so. He said he would make no
complaint against her as he did not wish her to go to jail, and asked a number
of questions as to the course the case would take. He said he would demand
damages of her for loss of time and expenses, but that was all he wanted. He
intimated that should she refuse him this he might press the complaint against
her. He admitted that there was some jealousy in the case, but beyond that
would say nothing, in addition to what is given above, except that Mrs. PAASCH
was not the possessor of any property in addition to the house in which the
shooting occurred, and that he said was heavily mortgaged.

Starving Herself to Death
   Mrs. Rebecca H. SCUDDER, of Huntington, L. I in whose case Justice CULLEN,
of this city, on the 6th inst appointed commissioners de lunatico inquirendo,
is sinking rapidly from want of nourishment. She sits for hours staring
fixedly into space, motionless and silent. She has not eaten anything for a
week and refuses all nourishment.

A Murderer Dying
George SAUNDERS, who killed Mrs. COLLYER of the Eastern District last
September, Dying at the City Hospital.
   George SAUNDERS, who on September 26 of last year murdered Mrs. COLLYER,
keeper of a boarding house in North Second street, E.D., and then cut his own
throat, but did not succeed in killing himself and who was committed to jail
to await trial, is very sick and is said to be dying. Dr. SHEPARD was called
in yesterday to see him and found that his constitution was breaking down
under a complication of disorders. He was removed to the City Hospital and it
is believed he cannot live the day out. Sheriff STEGMAN detailed a deputy to
watch over the sick man. SAUNDERS made Mrs. COLLYER offers of marriage which
she refused and this led to the murder.

A Wooden Wedding (Wood = 5th anniversary)
   Mr. and Mrs. S.F. DAVENPORT, of Lafayette avenue, celebrated their wooden
wedding last evening at their residence and the occasion gathered a small
company of intimate friends. It was one of those informal gatherings where
each guest endeavored to promote the enjoyment of others and the result was a
jolly good time. There was no attempt at decoration, but the neatly furnished
parlors were very attractive. There were singing, music, congratulations and
dancing, and a supper to which all did justice. A large number of presents
were received. Mr. DAVENPORT is an employe of the Post Office. Among those
present were 
Mr. and Mrs. John DENTON of Cypress Hills; 
Dr. REESE and wife,
Mr. and Mrs. E. F. DAVENPORT,

Herman BREIMANN�s Condition
   Herman BREIMANN who was shot yesterday by Mrs. Catherine PAASCH was
reported to-day to be progressing favorably toward recovery. The physicians,
although unable to locate the ball, anticipate that BREIMANN will soon be so
far recovered as to be able to leave the Hospital.

Charged with Sending an Insulting Valentine to His Aunt
   Albert A. ENEAS was placed on trial yesterday in the Court of Sessions on
an indictment charging him with malicious annoyance in sending to Mrs. Rose
STUDWELL, wife of Chas. M. STUDWELL, of the Eastern District, a cheap
valentine, on the back of which were written some insulting lines. The accused
in the son of Mr. Charles M. STUDWELL�s sister. The lines on the valentine
sent to his aunt address her as "Rose Ray" and are of an obscene nature. The
testimony showed that ENEAS was on bad terms with STUDWELL and the witnesses
for the People swore the lines on the valentine were in the handwriting of
ENEAS. Anthony COMSTOCK detailed the manner in which he secured the arrest of
the accused. The defendant denied that he wrote the lines. He is captain of a
tug-boat.
   The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but strongly recommended ENEAS to
the mercy of the Court.

The Case of Policeman BOWES
   Police Commissioner JOURDAN to-day heard the testimony of two witnesses on
behalf of Officer BOWES, of the Seventh Precinct, who is accused of improper
conduct in flirting with one Minnie ROBERSON, a young girl living opposite the
station. The evidence went to show that the fact was known to the girl�s
guardian that BOWES was a married man. At the conclusion of the case, BOWES�
counsel questioned the jurisdiction of the Commissioner in the matter, but the
latter decided against him. He said he had a brief to submit, but General
JOURDAN had determined to close the case, and told counsel that he might put
in the brief to-morrow.

Married by the Mayor
   J. Wilson HEINEMANN, a native of Boston, and Miss Addie BLACK, of this

of Health was notified and removed the woman to the Flatbush Hospital. The
house was fumigated.

A Missing Man Found
   William SMITH, who left his home at No. 50 Bleecker street, on Sunday last

Hall Park, New York, and taken home.

In the Toils Again
   Terence CAROLIN, aged 23, a pedler, who says he has no residence, was
arrested by Detective ENNIS of the Thirteenth Precinct this morning, charged
by Daniel O�BRIEN, saloon keeper of 63 Walworth street, with having on the
night of the 13th of May last entered his saloon after closing by means of the
fan light over the front door and stolen the contents of the till $1.40.
CAROLIN has already served four terms in the State Penitentiary for larceny
and burglary. He is well known to the Brooklyn police, and his photograph is
No. 28 in the Rogues� Gallery. Justice FISHER adjourned his case till next Tuesday

An Insane Man Attempts Suicide
   Carsten W. VON GLAHN, aged 45 years, attempted suicide at his residence,

An Attempted Suicide Getting Better
   Wm. S. SWEENEY, the young laborer, who cut his throat at No. 8 Graham
avenue last Friday
Night is getting better at St. Catherine�s Hospital. The physicians think he
is out of danger.

A Saloon Row
Why John MONAHAN was Clubbed-The tables turned in Court
   John MONAHAN, who lives in Third avenue, was before Justice BERGEN today on
a charge of malicious mischief preferred by William EUSTICE, bartender for
Moore Brothers, saloon-keepers at Third avenue and Tenth street. EUSTICE said
that MONAHAN got drink for which he refused to pay and that he (EUSTICE) then
clubbed MONAHAN out of the saloon. The latter seized some stones which he
threw at the door, breaking glass worth $12. MONAHAN said he had a drink and
paid for it and that EUSTICE demanded the money a second time. He refused to
pay again and EUSTICE clubbed him and chased him a block, club in hand. He
admitted that he broke the glass. Justice BERGEN dismissed the complaint and
ordered MONAHAN to charge EUSTICE with assault and battery. This was done; the
defendant found guilty and dismissed with a reprimand, Justice BERGEN telling
him that there were other ways in which to collect debts, when they existed,
than by using a club.

24 June 1882
O.H.M.S.
A Brooklyn Druggist Taken for a British Spy
   Mr. John WORTHINGTON, druggist at No. 126 Fulton street, who recently
received a box which he thought was an infernal machine and whose son
disappeared several weeks since and has not yet been heard from, on Monday
last received a letter which has caused him much annoyance and some fear. On
the top of the letter is a rude cut of a skull and cross-bones, and beneath
that the following inscription: "Death to Spise for England." Mr. WORTHINGTON
cannot understand why he should be taken for a spy for England unless it be
from the fact that twice a year he receives from Canada communications, on the
envelopes containing which are the letters "O. H. M. S." an abbreviation for
"On Her Majesty�s Service." He thinks those may be taken for instructions from
the British Government while in reality they contain statements in reference
to the semi-annual dividends on Canadian bonds, in which Mr. WORTHINGTON has
considerable money invested.

Practical Jokers
How a Boarding House on Willoughby Street was Visited by Explainable Spirits
   For a few nights past strange noises have been heard in the back parlor of
No. 52 Willoughby street and what was termed  'a vaporous body' had been
occasionally seen floating in the room. The back parlor is occupied by a young
couple who say that they are not at all superstitious. It appears that some
young people had decided to play a practical joke upon them and one evening
early last week the couple were startled by slight rappings. Then a vaporous
round body seemily transparent floated from the ceiling to the floor and
disappeared. The following night the clock seemed to make a moanful noise, the
curtains trembled and several things in the room looked mysterious. Shortly
after retiring a loud rapping aroused them and continued all night until dawn
of day when it ceased entirely. Saturday night the mystery was solved. The
rapping began early and was quite loud. An investigation showed that it came
from a small wooden table by the fireplace and it was found that somebody had
contrived an ingenious knocker, which was so arranged to strike against the
top of the table with an ordinary degree of regularity. Just as this was
discovered the ball of vapor appeared and was found to be smoke from a lamp,
which had been placed upon a high shelf and so lighted as to smoke. A Window
being open at the bottom caused a draught, which drew the smoke in a downward
course. The works of the clock had been tampered with also by the jokers. The
'joke' created quite a scare in the house and had it not been explained would
probably have resulted in the loss to the house of a number of boarders.

26 June 1882
Truant Home Discipline
   The Committee on Education and Truant Home to whom was referred the charges
of alleged undue and severe discipline at the Truant Home in the maltreatment
of the boys GABEY and DAILEY, reported that after having examined all the
attaches and former employees of the institution, the charges against VONTOM,
the teacher, had in their opinion, been sustained of undue and vicious
discipline. We therefore offer a resolution dispensing with the services of
VONTOM after July 1, 1882, which was adopted.
   Alderman ARMITAGE moved that Thomas TOSSE be appointed in place of VONTOM.

Old Sweethearts Married
   Conrad RUMP and Madeline HUBER, who fell in love and were engaged when
coming out to America fourteen years ago, but who immediately were separated
by circumstances and since married and lost their respective partners, met
recently in the Eastern District and were wedded at the house of the bride on
Stagg street by the Rev. Dr. BAIR, on Saturday evening last. They are both
well to do.

27 June 1882
Steer on a Rampage
   A maddened steer which was being driven to a Hudson avenue slaughter house,
escaped from a drove of cattle in Front street and ran wildly along the
street. In front of No. 49, the animal caught Frank RILEY, aged 5 years, who
was playing on the street, on its horns and tossed him in the air. The little
fellow fortunately received but a slight injury. The steer ran through Dock
street to the river, jumped overboard and swam toward New York.

28 June 1882
The Condition of Officer EARLEY
  Policeman EARLEY, who was shot on Monday night by Richard McCULLOUGH, was
much better today and was able this morning to arise from his cot in the
hospital and wash himself. He is not, however, yet out of danger.

Committed Without Bail
  Richard McCULLOUGH, who shot Officer EARLEY on Monday night, appeared in
Justice BERGEN�s Court today with his head wrapped in bandages, to answer to a
charge of assault with intent to kill. Messrs. HOWE & HUMMELL, the New York
criminal lawyers, appeared on his behalf and requested that bail be fixed.
Justice BERGEN refused to accept bail and sent McCULLOUGH to jail pending the
result of his victim�s injuries.

Fell Among Thieves
   Joseph HESSLER, a Belgian emigrant, aged 20, was accosted yesterday for
beer by roughs on Third street, E. D., yesterday morning. He treated and they
got him to go with them to get employment. They took him to a sequestered spot
and assaulted and stole $8 from him. Edward FARRELL was charged with being
concerned in the matter before Justice NAEHER this morning. He was remanded.

It Was the Cat
A Bitter Quarrel Between Bad Neighbors on Macomb Street
   Mrs. Emma KNOBEL and Miss Ida BROWN, sisters, who live together were before
Justice WALSH today on a charge of being guilty of disorderly conduct towards
Mrs. Teresa ROBARTES, a next door neighbor, living at No. 184 Macomb street,
which threatened to provoke a breach of the peace. Mrs. KNOBEL, on the other
hand, charged Mrs. ROBARTES� husband Herman W. ROBARTES with sending annoying
postal cards to her. The evidence in the cross cases showed that there was a
bitter feeling between the parties, arising out of the fact that Mrs. ROBARTES
drove a cat belonging to Mrs. KNOBEL and Miss BROWN from her premises. The
postal cards charged Mrs. KNOBEL and Miss BROWN with keeping two unlicensed
dogs and Mrs. ROBARTES swore that the other women called her 'Irish Bridget'
and otherwise annoyed her. The story is a dirty one, of no public interest,
and Judge WALSH decided that there was no danger of a breach of the peace. He
reserved his decision on the question of jurisdiction in the case of ROBARTES.

Catharine CURREN yesterday lost her balance while drawing a pulley-line
from a window in her apartment on the third floor of No. 4 Waldron place and
fell to the yard, fracturing her skull and sustaining other severe injuries.
She will probably die. Ambulance Surgeon MIRRIELEES removed her to the City Hospital.

Shot By His Son
A Young Man who used a Revolver to Protect Himself from his Drunken Father�s Wrath
   A young man who was laboring under great excitement entered the Fifth
Precinct Police Station about half-past six o�clock last night and said he
wished to deliver himself up to the police as he had just his father. He said
his name was James REID, Jr., his age 20 years, and that he lived at No. 157
South Fourth street. He said that his father was in the habit of periodically
going on sprees, which lasted from two to four weeks each. On such occasions
he so far lost control of himself that he was a menace to his family and the
people living in the neighborhood. His sprees were of a fighting order, and
when under the influence of liquor, he never failed to at least attempt to
inflict injury on members of his family. Two weeks ago he 'went off' and has
since continued to be more or less under the influence of liquor. Last evening
he was particularly violent, and when the son came home immediately started a
quarrel. From words he went to blows and wound up by seizing a knife with
which he attempted to stab his son. The latter as a matter of self-defense
drew a revolver and fired, but did not know the effect of the shot.
   Captain WOGLOID sent an officer to the house and it was ascertained that
the shot took effect in the father�s left breast, inflicting however, but a
slight wound. The injured man denied that his son had done the shooting and
claimed that he did it himself. The latter, however, was held by the police.

The PALMER Family Reunion
   The PALMER family will have its annual reunion in Stonington on August 10,
11 and 12. Family tents are to be erected on the grounds at Stonington, in
which beds will be placed by the committee of arrangements, and each family is
to be permitted to carry away the bedclothing as a memento of the bivouac. One
of the attractions of the camp will be a PALMER loan collection in which the
shoes, wedding gowns and other clothing of great grandmother PALMER are to be
displayed, together with Mme. Betty�s candle cup, Lady Anne�s stomacher, old
china, bric-a-brac, etc. Noyes E. PALMER, the recording scribe of the family
at Jamaica, Long Island, will cheerfully afford information and take charge of
any genealogical, historical or biographical family records belonging to stray
members of the family.

29 June 1882

AFTER NINE YEARS
A Runaway Husband Captured in New Jersey and Brought to Brooklyn - A
Singular Case in an Italian Family
   Dominico PETTINATO, an Italian, was arrested at the Ingleside Hotel,
Beach Haven, New Jersey, last night by Detective LOONEY, of this city, on a
charge of abandonment preferred by the prisoner's wife, Annie PETTINATO, who
lives with her parents at No. 23 Summit street, this city.  The following
story is told in connection with the case:
   Fourteen years ago the prisoner and the complainant, were married in
Italy.  The wife's parents were wealthy, and PETTINATO, who was a
bookkeeper, was well to do.  Nine years ago he suddenly disappeared and for
a time nothing was heard of him.  Eventually, however, it was learned that
he had come to America.  His wife and her parents and the brothers followed
and proceeded to Pennsylvania, where the runaway husband was living and
working as a barber.  Although a man of education he was obliged to follow
this calling because of his ignorance of the English language.  He agreed to
live with his wife, and did so for a short time, when he again disappeared.
A few days ago he was heard of by his wife, who was informed by a friend
that he was living with another woman at the Ingleside Hotel.  Detective
LOONEY found PETTINATO at the hotel, but the latter at first refused to come
to Brooklyn.  Upon being convinced that resistance was useless he agreed to
accompany the officer to this city, which he did.  Justice WALSH will hear
the case in a few days.
   The couple have two children, girls, one aged 13 years and the other
about six months.  The husband alleges that the trouble has been caused by
his wife's determination to live with her parents, with whom, he says, he
cannot agree.  He is willing to provide for her if she will go with him.
The wife and her folks deny that this is the case, and that PETTINATO has no
reason so far as they know, for deserting his wife.

by His Stepson's Friend.
Louis ESSELMAN, a German saloon-keeper at No.22 Atlantic avenue, was
last night arrested on a warrant issued by Justice WALSH on a charge of
perjury.  The complainant is Patrick ROURKE, of No. 33 Amity street.

forced to leave the house.  One of them, John by name, went to sea, and
returned on June 30.  A few days later John was arrested on complaint of
his stepfather, who alleged that the former had threatened to kill him.
He swore to that on the examination, but Justice WALSH dismissed the
complaint.  Then ROURKE, who is a friend of CAVANAUGH, swore out a
warrant for ESSELMAN's arrest, alleging that the latter had committed
perjury on the examination.  Justice BERGEN will hear the case.

SKELETONS UNEARTHED.
Three Found by Laborers in Pierrepont Street-Supposed to be Those of
Soldiers Killed During the Revolutionary War.
Some laborers, who were engaged in digging an excavation at No. 106
Pierrepont street, opposite Monroe place, this morning, unearthed three
skeletons, nearly complete.  They were all on grown persons and
consisted of three skulls, nearly entire, arm and leg bones.  The bones
were placed in a box and taken to Health Commissioner RAYMOND's office.
The latter inquired into the matter and ascertained these facts: In 1780
there stood at a point north of Love lane, south of Pierrepont street,
east of Monroe place and west of Henry street a fort, which was well
known in Revolutionary times, but for which no name could be found in
STYLES' History of Brooklyn of POPPLETON's survey made in 1816 at the
request on Hezekial PIERREPONT, from which sources Dr. RAYMOND obtained
his information.  The fort was 450 feet square and Love lane ran
directly through the centre of it.  It was frequently spoken of by old
residents, who told of seeing large numbers of British soldiers there.
The skeletons are supposed to be those of soldiers who were killed
during the Revolution and were buried in the fort.  Coroner KELLER will
not hold an inquest on the skeletons.

15 August 1882
ITALIANS MARRIED BY THE MAYOR
A picturesque party, consisting of three women and two men, visited the
Mayor's office this morning.  They belonged to the Italian Colony of the
lower part of the Second Ward, and the mission of four of them at the
Mayor's office was to get married.  It was evident from the appearance
of the men that to-day, previous to the ceremony, they had delved into
and investigated several hundred ash-barrels.  The scent of the
ash-barrel was upon them.  Their boots looked as if they had, only a few
minutes ago, been hooked out of a heap of ashes.  Their pantaloons,
vests and coats had likewise the same appearance.  But the women had an
entirely different aspect.  Their embroidered skirts came down to their
shoe-tops, and left exposed feet having on patent leather No.6 store
boots.  
The names of the brides were 
Philomina MARCESAN, aged 16 years, married to Joseph MOON
Michaelind WEIL, aged 26. married to Cecilian JOHN.  

Miss MARCESAN's complexion was of that rich color which is popularly 
known as nut brown.  It was set off by a fiery red handkerchief which 
she had tied on her head.  She looked a genuine gypsy.  

Miss WEIL had on a cashmere shawl, which evidently had
seen service on the back of a more wealthy wearer.  All the three women
had black, shiny, luxuriant heads of hair peculiar to nations of
Southern Europe.  When the Mayor tied the knots the swarthy countenances
of the Italians lighted up with smiles, the Mayor also beamed with that
pleasant smile for which he is remarkable; Secretary Franklin ALLEN
smiled through his eyeglasses, and Commissioner Ripley ROPES, who
happened to be present in the Mayor's office on business, smiled with
open mouth.  
When the Mayor said to Miss WEIL, "Will you love, comfort,
honor and cherish him as a faithful wife is bound to do," she did not
understand the words, and the bridegroom said in Italian: "Will you love
me?"  She held up both hands and would have demonstrated her love by
hugging the bridegroom if the Mayor had not signified that he had
sufficient evidence on that point.  The Mayor shook hands with the
brides and bridegrooms and wished them health, prosperity and
happiness.  They then left the Hall.

JOHN JENNINGS' BRUTALITY
Tearing His Two Months' Old Child from Its Mother's Breast and Keeping
It in a Shanty All Night Without Food--Brutal Assaults Upon His Wife and Stepson.
A warrant has been made out by Justice BERGEN for the arrest of John
JENNINGS, a South Brooklyn man, whose brutality, according to the story
of his wife, is almost beyond belief.  On Tuesday morning last Mrs.
Annie JENNINGS, the wife, told Justice BERGEN her story.  She is 30
years of age and has been married to JENNINGS a little more than a
year.  On Monday last he went home under the influence of liquor and
tore his two months' old infant away from its mother's breast despite
the latter's remonstrances.  Then he went to an old shanty at the foot
of Clinton street, which is owned by his sister, and stayed there during
the night with the child, to which he gave no food.  On the following
morning Mrs. JENNINGS found him in the place with the infant, and, when
she asked for the child, was set upon and badly beaten.  She then ran
out and went to Court.  Officer RUSSELL, of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, accompanied the mother to the shanty
and there the child was placed in the mother's care.  JENNINGS had
left.  The child was lying on the lounge gasping for breath, and there
was an affecting scene as the mother took it to her arms.  The couple
formerly lived in Luqueer street, but were dispossessed, and now Mrs.
JENNINGS is dependent upon the charity of neighbors.  A warrant was made
out for JENNINGS' arrest for assaulting his wife and endangering the
life of his child.  The wife states that she has a son 7 years of age by
another husband, and that JENNINGS frequently beats him in the most
brutal manner.

A SERIOUS CHARGE - What A Police Sergeant and a Young Eastern District 
Physician Are Charged With.
       A charge of a serious nature, testimony in reference to which was 
taken by Commissioner JOURDAN on Wednesday, is pending against Police 
Sergeant Nicholas BOCH, of the Sixth Precinct.  The complaint was made by a 
young woman, who, about a week since, was a prisoner in the station house.  
She alleges that shortly after she was locked up Doorman KEPPEL, by order of 
Sergeant BOCH, opened the door of the cell and admitted Dr. Charles HEYL, who 
was formerly Ambulance Surgeon, and now acts at times in the capacity.  He is 
at present connected with St. Catherine's Hospital.  The woman testified 
before the Commissioner that Dr. HEYL remained with her in the cell nearly an 
hour, during which time he twice assaulted her.  She also stated that 
subsequently Sergeant BOCH brought her a pie and that after she had eaten it 
he twice threw his arms around her and kissed.  She denied that she was ill 
or that there was any need of a physician to attend her.  Sergeant BOCH and 
Dr. HEYL denied the story, although both admitted that the former was in the 
cell half an hour.  Sergeant BOCH denied that he was in the cell and claimed 
that he passed the pie through an aperture in the cell door.  Both claim that 
the prosecution is a blackmailing operation, and that they had been 
approached for money to settle the matter.  A decision will be rendered in a few days.   

A movement is on foot to have the different societies and lodges of the
Seventeenth Ward unite in giving a grand excursion, the proceeds of
which are to be devoted to the Old Ladies' Home of Greenpoint.  The

wholesale milliner of Dresden and Berlin, who eloped with $70,000

authorities of that place have asked what reward is offered for their
arrest.  As there is no reward, and as LEVY is in New York for the
purpose of attaching money held by the Bank of the Metropolis to the

it is the money and not the wife he wants.

In Prison For Life
How a Man who Killed His Wife Passes His Time - Asking for Pictures of His Children
Thomas LOWNDES, an Irishman, was tried in the Court of Oyer and Terminer of 
this county, in April 1874, on an indictment charging him with the murder of 
his wife, March 8, 1874, during a drunken brawl at their house in North Fifth 
street, E.D. The murder was of an atrocious character, the evidence showing 
that the blood of the dying woman spurted on her innocent children, who were 
involuntary witnesses of their father's crime.  The prisoner was defended on 
the trial by Counsellors A.W. GLEASON and G.G. DAVIS, who were promised no 
remuneration for their services.  The most prisoner's counsel expected to do 
was to save their client's neck from the gibbet; in this they were 
successful.  The prisoner was found guilty of murder in the second degree, 
and was sentenced to State Prison for life.  LOWNDES' children, boys, then 
aged respectively two and nine years, were sent to St. John's (Catholic) 
Home, corner of St. Mark's and Albany avenues, where they yet abide.  
Eighteen months ago Counsellor GLEASON received a letter from LOWNDES 
enclosing $50 "as part payment for past services."  This sum the writer said, 
had been saved from extra work.  A few days ago, Mr. GLEASON, on his return 
from a trip to the Adirondacks, found a package that had come by express 
during his absence.  On opening it a very handsome ladies' workbox was 
discovered, the cover of which was composed of 1,000 pieces of 
various-colored woods, all worked in fanciful designs and with artistic 
skill. The prisoner fabricated the box during odd hours extending over two 
years.  This present, the writer LOWNDES said, was sent as a gift to his 
faithful counsel.  LOWNDES in his letter expressed great gratitude to the 
Mother Superior of St. John's Home for the care of his children, and asked 
that photographs of the latter might be sent to him, as they are the only 
ties he has in the outside world.  He further writes:  "God knows I have 
suffered enough, for my crime is upper most in my mind, not to speak of the 
hardship and misery of prison life."
Counsellor GLEASON says that the pictures LOWNDES requests shall be sent to 
him are to be accompanied by a cheering letter.

Lawrence DRISCOLL, a laborer, of 55 Oak street, New York, yesterday had

PROBABLY FATALLY BURNED - Mr. William W. FREEMAN, of No. 304 Bedford Avenue, 
this city, an oil dealer at No. 7 North William Street, New York, was 
terribly and probably fatally burned at eight o'clock this morning by the 
explosion of a barrel of benzene which he was handling in his store.  He went 
into the basement smoking, it is said, and jerked up the cask of benzene, and 
had just stood it up when it exploded with terrific force, shattering the 
floor and blowing out both windows and door overhead.  Mr. FREEMAN was 
deluged with the fluid, which soon ignited, enveloping the unfortunate man in 
a sheet of flame.  He ran into the street, laid down in the mud, rolled over. 
 Mr. ZOLLER, a bird dealer, in business next door, ran to his assistance and 
finally succeeded in extinguishing the flames.  Mr. FREEMAN's face, arms and 
body were badly burned.  He was taken to Bellevue Hospital in an ambulance.

A DESPERATE BOY - He Threatens to Shoot His Mother and Does Shoot Himself - A 
Bad State of Affairs in a Family.
       John ANTONIE, a 14 year old boy, in April last, left his mother's home 
at No. 197 Kosciusko Street for the purpose of striking out for himself.  His 
father is dead and he determined to earn his own living and be independent.  
He obtained employment and went to live at No. 656 Myrtle Avenue.  A short 
time ago, however, he lost his situation and last week his funds gave out.  
On Saturday afternoon he visited his mother at the latter's residence and 
after saying that he had no money with which to pay his board, demanded $4 
for that purpose.  The mother refused to accede to the demand, whereupon the 
boy exclaimed: "Well, this is the last time you will have a chance to refuse 
me," and at the same time drew a small, single barrel pistol which he pointed 
at his mother.  The latter screamed and called for help.  A neighbor 
responded, but when Mrs. ANTONIE said she would have the boy arrested the 
latter ran out of the house and through Kosciuski Street.  He attracted the 
attention of Officer HUMPHREY, who followed and caught up to the boy near 
Marcy Avenue.  When John saw that he was about to be arrested he discharged 
the pistol, which he still held in his hand, the bullet passing through his 
left hand.  He afterwards said to the Officer that he intended to kill 
himself.  He was taken to the City Hospital, where his wound was dressed, and 
afterwards to the Ninth Precinct Station, where he was locked up on a charge 
of threatening to take his mother's life.  The boy alleges that he gave his 
earnings to his mother and that he had not exhausted his account when he 
asked for the $4.  His mother, however, states that he had.  The boy 
scandalizes his mother by stories which he tells of her and a man who boards 
with her, and claims that he left home because the man frequently abused him.

7 September 1882
A FIENDISH ACT. NARROW ESCAPE OF CHILDREN FROM A DREADFUL DEATH.  A DISMISSED 
DOMESTIC'S REVENGE - SETTING FIRE TO A BED IN A ROOM IN WHICH WERE TWO YOUNG 
CHILDREN.
       Mary HEANEY, a domestic, aged 23 years, was last night arrested by 
Detective MAHONEY on a charge of arson and was to-day held for examination by 
Justice BERGEN.  The proof against the prisoner is strong, and her act a 
fiendish one, as by it two small children might have been burned to death had 
not the fire been discovered as it was a few minutes after it had been 
lighted.   
       Mary was a week ago taken on trial for a few days by Mr. Charles C. 
PUTNAM at the latter's residence, No. 151 Congress Street.  She proved, 
however, to be an undesirable person and exceedingly imprudent.  Last night 
when Mr. PUTNAM returned from his place of business his wife said that she 
could no longer put up with Mary's impudence and Mr. PUTNAM replied he would 
discharge her, which he did.  Mary's apparel was in a room on the upper floor 
where two young children of Mr. PUTNAM slept, and to this room she went, 
carrying with her a lighted candle.  In a few minutes she left the house.  
Mrs. PUTNAM feared that all was not right and remarked to her husband that 
she would go up stairs and see that the children were safe.  While mounting 
the stairs she perceived an odor of smoke and ran hastily downstairs and 
notified her husband.  The latter and Mrs. PUTNAM then went up to the 
children's room together and found it fastened.  A catch which had always 
been left unfastened was down.  The door was burst open and for a minute Mr. 
and Mrs. PUTNAM were driven back by the smoke which met them as they opened 
the door.  They found the bed clothing almost consumed by fire, while the 
mattress was smoldering.  The latter was made of hair and would not burn 
readily, to which fact is probably due the escape of the children from being 
fatally burned and the total destruction of the house.  The fire was 
extinguished before any other damage had been done.  The children would 
probably have been suffocated by the smoke had they not been rescued promptly.

ACCIDENTS  -  A LARGE NUMBER OF SERIOUS CASUALTIES REPORTED
WILLIAM BURNS, of No. 20 Stewart Street, Fort Hamilton, a Manhattan Beach 
Railroad employee at Bay Ridge, yesterday accidentally struck the trigger of

 James KELLY and Alexander WILLIAMS, deck hands, rescued him in spite of his 
efforts to drown himself, but they were thoroughly exhausted themselves.  He 
was conveyed to St. Catherine's Hospital.  The cause of his act was delirium tremens.

A MISSING GIRL-Annie BOYLE, aged 15 years, who was employed at LOESER's in 
the ladies toilet room, is reported missing by her mother, who resides at 83 DeKalb 
Avenue.  It is surmised that Annie has secured a situation at service from 
some of the many ladies she met in Loeser's, as Mrs. BOYLE has been very 
strict with her children, compelling them to remain at home evenings, and if 
absent therefrom at any time to give a detailed account of their actions 
while away.  It is thought Annie became weary of this restraint and 
determined to free herself from it.

Norris EVANS were elected members of the society.  Mr. Stephaen M. OSTRANDER 
read a very interesting paper on the "Court Houses and Jails of Kings 
County".  He stated that as early as January 1, 1643, there was a Court of 
Sessions in Gravesend, and that in 1665 a Court House was erected in that 
town near the spot where the Dutch Church now stands.  The first courts in 
Brooklyn were consituted in 1646 by the Dutch Governor, General William 
KEIFT.  It 1685 the Kings County Court Sessions was removed from Gravesend to 
Flatbush, and the structure in which it was held stood till 1785, when it was 
destroyed by fire.  Another Court House, with a jail attached was built in 
1792, which stood till 1832 when it too was burned.  After this, until 1840, 
Kings County prisoners were sent to the New York Bridewell.  Raymond Street 
jail was finished in 1845 and then the courts were held in it.  Previous to 
this time the Brooklyn courts sat in the Exchange at the corner of Cranberry 
and Fulton streets.
     Mr. OSTRANDER traced the courts from the jail to the City Hall and 
finally to the present Court House, introducing a number of very interesting 
details of the history of Brooklyn.  At the close of the reading of the paper 
Messrs. Charles C. LEIGH, Judah B.VOORHEES ad ex-Mayor BOOTH discussed there 
recent building of the new wing to the jail in Raymond street, and also the 
general management of prisons and penitentiaries.

He Stabs Six Ladies on Fourteeth Street New York.
     Ernest DUBOURQUE, a lunatic, yesterday afternoon ran wildly through 
Fourteeth street, New York, brandishing a carpenter's compass.  Before he 
could be seized and isarmed he stabbed seven or eight women and injured

entered the store where she had been carried and found that it was his wife 
and that she was dangerously wounded.  She was taken to the New York

lunatics, particularly among the French residents of New York.  They had been 
for years familiar figures on Broadway, where they were in the habit of 
parading, carrying tin sighns on which were painted the most extravagant 
denunciations of the United States Government for keeping them out of a large 
inheritance which had been bequeathed to them by a brother of the elder 
DUBOURQUE, who had died in California. At the station-house DUBOURQUE said 
two men were continually pursuing him to kill him and steal his money, and he 
had armed himself with the compass to protect himself.  The women had annoyed 
him by watching and they had attacked him, and he then wanted to kill them 
all.  He will be arraigned before Justice FORD at the Jefferson Market Police Court.
     Mrs. Andrew DUTCHER, of 157 Pierrepont street, this city was knocked 
down by the lunatic.  She was shopping with her daughter, and had left her in

boldest neighbors, she explored and found JOYCE, undressed and curled up
snugly between her blankets. He was sleeping very peacefully and seemed
surprised when awakened. "What are you doing?" asked the lady of the house.
"Nothing" said he, yawning calmly. "Well, I want you to get up and go." "What
for?"

grumbling bitterly. Yesterday he went back with an apology and wanted to go to

James REILLY, and is now lying unconscious at the point of death. REILLY is a
youth, aged 19, a japanner by trade, and lives in Walworth street. He says:
"On Sunday evening I entered KAVANAGH�s salon. He has a grudge against me and
immediately began to pick a quarrel. He caught me by the throat and choked me
and struck me. I broke away and ran down Walworth street, and he chased me
with a club. Seeing he was going to catch me I turned and picking up a brick
threw it at him. I knocked him down insensible. I then ran away.
   When KAVANAGH was carried into the house, it was found that his skull was
fractured immediately over the left eyebrow and three pieces of the bone had
to be removed. He regained consciousness for a brief period on Sunday night
during which a member of the Thirteenth Precinct police force who knew him
intimately said to him: " You ought to be ashamed of yourself; look at your
head," and he answered: "I know it�s all my own fault."
   Since this time KAVANAGH has sunk into protracted unconsciousness from
which his physicians think he will not rally. REILLY was arrested last evening
and Justice FISHER this morning held him without bail to await the result of

Badly Sold-A South Brooklyn Baker by his Housekeeper
A Woman who Spoke French, German and English and Wrote Poetry about her
Employer�s Lodge and who also Made Off with $450, Five Bank Books and a Broche Shawl
   About two weeks ago Gottleib SMITH, a German baker doing business and
living at No. 432 Fifth avenue inserted an advertisement in the New York
'Staate Zeitung' for a housekeeper. The following day a well-dressed woman of
about 45 years called on Mr. SMITH and made application for the position. She
was of pleasing address and to outward appearances, a respectable person. She
said that her name was Pauline GRAMER and the she came from St. Louis where
she taught school. She spoke German fluently, French quite as well, and her
command of the English language was perfect. She was assigned to a room on one
of the upper floors and by her affable manners soon gained the complete
confidence of Mr. SMITH and the members of his family. Mr. SMITH is connected
with a Free Mason organization and upon learning of this the newly arrived
housekeeper sat down and in a few minutes dashed off several verses of rhyme
of which her employer�s lodge was the subject, and presented it to him. Mr.
SMITH, until last night, thought he had indeed secured a treasure. When he
went to the room in which he kept his money and bank books, he realized that
he had been badly sold. A small tin box in which he had left $450 was missing
as were also two hunting case silver watches worth $15, one bank book on the
Brooklyn Savings Bank representing deposits amounting to $300 and four on the
South Brooklyn Savings Bank representing $60 together with a broche shawl. The
housekeeper could not be found and the police were notified and a description
of the woman telegraphed to all the stations. She came without baggage and it
is supposed that she is an old hand at the business.

arrested by Detective POWERS at the instance of Eliza DUNDAS, who keeps a

was very wealthy, died several years ago and willed to Mrs. DUNDAS the house
which she now occupies. He claimed in his letters that the property was
conveyed to her without consideration and that she ought at least to divide it
with him. A refusal to accede to his demand, he said, would result in her
personal disadvantage. Counselor LEGGET, who has been engaged by the
complainant, says that the prisoner will not be prosecuted if his family will
agree to place him in a lunatic asylum.

A Boarder Who Disappeared From A Troy Hotel
   A man who is supposed to be George H. DOUGHERTY and resident of this city
is reported in a despatch from Troy, N. Y. as having disappeared from the
American House in that city and foul play is suspected. He registered at the

word led to another and finally he drew a revolver and threatened to shoot
Miss FAUSS. Mrs. COLLINS, who rents the premises, which she sublets to
boarders, sent a servant for a policeman and Officer HANNIGAN responded and

How Wm. S. WASHBURNE�S Family Was Starved
More Testimony in the Lexington Avenue Case
Another Son of the Defendant on the Stand
Severe on Papa-The Case for the Prosecution Closed
   The Lexington avenue starvation case in which William S. WASHBURNE is
accused of neglecting to provide food for his family, came up before Justice
WALSH again today, and George W. WASHBURNE, a son of the defendant, who lives
at No. 148 Jefferson street, was placed on the stand and testified as follows:

   I lived at No. 134 Lexington avenue with my father up to the 28th of
September; I was there on the 14th; my father went away that day in the
evening and returned on the 16th; he left no food or provisions in the house
except bread and butter enough for breakfast; I bought breakfast and supper
for myself and the others; there were six children at home; on the morning of
the 16th I did the same; the butter that he bought we considered oleomargine;
it 'ranked very high;' there was gas in the house at that time and we boys
paid for it; I was there on September 22; my father was not at home on the
night of the 21st ; I think he came home in the afternoon of the 22nd; on the
latter day for breakfast there were bread and butter and possibly a few
potatoes: I left on the 28th because I was told if I did not I would be kicked
out: I have visited the house since and been asked for money which I gave for
food: I gave some on election day: I frequently took food to the house while I
was living there.
   Cross examination'I went away with my brother Walter and took some
furniture with me: I took what belonged to my sister'about two thirds; I took
away a big lamp which belonged to me; my father was not present: I have been
in business a little over four years and was when living with my father; the
food did not suit me; I can�t go bread and butter and potatoes every meal; my
father usually ate breakfast after the others, but he would occasionally come
down and sneak in to see what we had to eat: on the 15th for lunch there was
bread and butter and I sent out for some meat; I examined all the closets and
found no food; for supper on the 15th there was bread and butter; if there
were any eggs they were locked up in the closet. I bought meat, potatoes and
tomatoes; my father was not at home that night; I suppose he was off on a
drunk or with dissipated women; I would not suppose he was at his brother�s;
he would not stay there all night; I could almost swear to that; I do not
speak to my father now and did not during September and October because he
would not speak to me; I don�t suppose he has spoken to me a dozen times in
two years. This concluded the evidence for the prosecution.
   Counsel for the defendant moved to dismiss the case on the ground that no
proof had been adduced which showed that Mr. WASHBURNE had neglected to
provide for his family, and also that there was no proof of means.
   Justice WALSH-It has been shown that he kept a horse and carriage and put
up at the Prospect House. That�s a high place.
   Justice WALSH denied the motion and adjourned the case until ten o�clock A.
M. on the 5th inst.

Greenpoint-GONE TO GERMANY - A Tailor Who Was Worried by Family Troubles
How Martin RIPPE Escaped His Wife's Suit for Abandonment and Surprised
a Deputy Sheriff - The Result of a Wife's Jealousy.
A Deputy Sheriff called yesterday on the store on the southwest corner of
South Second and Fourth streets, in the Eastern District, to see Martin RIPPE,
a tailor, who for the past fifteen years has done business in that and other 
stores  less than a block away.  The deputy was very much surprised when instead of a
tailoring establishment he found a picture store, the only inmate of which was
a small girl, who said that Mr. RIPPE had gone to Europe and had taken with
him a young woman who was in his employ, leaving behind his wife.  "He went
away three weeks ago," said the girl, "and the man that worked for him left 
the key next door.  It's the talk of the whole neighborhood about him running away."
Mr. H. JARVIS, a storekeeper, at No. 168 Fourth street, told a reported that 
less than three weeks ago RIPPE came to him and said he was GOING TO GERMANY.
He had a brother there, he said, who was well to do with, whom he would spend
the winter.  Three weeks ago last night RIPPE sent one of his workmen to
Mr. JARVIS' store with a lot of clothing, which had been left with him to 
repair. The names of the owners were on the garments, and they have since called for
and received them.  Just previous to this RIPPE took the goods with which 
the store was stocked to a house in South First street, between Fifth and 
Sixth streets, which he and his wife, previous to their recent separation, occupied.
He sold all, and with the money is supposed to have sailed by the next steamer
for his native land.  He left several bills unpaid, and told Mr. Jarvis that 
he was going away because of the trouble he had had with his wife.
About two months, RIPPE and his wife, who had lived unhappily for some time,
separated, the former sleeping in a room in the rear of his store, and the 
latter in the house in South First street.  They came together again, but in a short 
time quarreled and the result was that the wife caused her husband's arrest
on a charge of abandonment.  RIPPE alleged that she abandoned him, and
claimed that the trouble was THE RESULT OF JEALOUSY on her part towards
a young woman who worked for him, the one referred to above.  This worried
RIPPE very much, and taking the advice of people with whom he had talked on
the subject, he sold out his stock of cloths, etc., and sailed for Germany.  
The allegation that he took the young woman with him is incorrect, as she was seen
in the Eastern Distract last night.

CUT HIS THROAT
A Man Who Made His Home Unhappy - The New Penal Code Brought to
Bear on Him by Justice NACHER.
Louis EMMENER, formerly of 253 Graham avenue, who has earned an
unenviable distinction as a wife-beater, came back from a sixty days' term
in the Penitential yesterday afternoon.  He rushed into the house, which was
still occupied by his wife - who is a very industrious woman - and asserted 
himself with all his old-time insolence.  She told him to begone as her house
was no longer his home.  When he saw how matters stood his rage knew no 
bounds and cursing horribly he drew a knife from his pocket; and before his
terrified wife could call any assistance to interfere, gashed his throat from 
ear to ear.  Luckily the blade was dull and no artery was severed.  Gasping for 
breath and trying to speak he rushed out to the sidewalk, followed by Mrs. EMMENER.
He fled toward Grand street and there fell on the corner, creating great
excitement and gathering a large crowd, someone foolishly starting the cry
that his wife had attempted to murder him and an infuriated crowd turn on the
unhappy woman and would have dealt very violently with her had it not been for
the police of the Sixth Precinct who were forced to use their clubs very 
freely.An ambulance was procured and EMMENER was conveyed to St. Catharine's
Hospital.  He was sufficiently recovered to appear in Justice NACHER's court
this morning where he was held for the Grand Jury for attempted suicide.  This
is the first case of the kind sent to the Grand Jury of this City.

9 December 1882
CLUBBED ON THE HEAD
John McALLISTER's Story as to How He Received Injuries from which
His Is Likely to Die.
Patrolman LOYD, of the Second Precinct, was yesterday told that John
McALLISTER, a longshoreman, living at No. 50 Front street, was lying at his
home in an unconscious condition and that he had been assaulted by
Michael GALLAGHER, who keeps a liquor saloon at No. 55 Main street.
These facts were reported at the station and Ambulance Surgeon
BUCKMASTER called.  The latter found McALLISTER still unconscious,
and removed him to the City Hospital.  Subsequently the injured man regained
consciousness and told Officer HORAN that GALLAGHER had clubbed him
in the latter's saloon on the 28th ult.  Mrs. McALLISTER was visited and said
that her husband came home at a quarter past five o'clock on the afternoon of
the 28th ult and complained of a pain in his head.  He said that GALLAGHER
clubbed him.  He went out, watched by his wife from a window, walked down 
the street a few steps, returned and in ascending the stoop fell from the 
third step and rolled down to the sidewalk.  Mrs. McALLISTER is positive that he
fell on his side and did not strike his head.  All that night he bled from 
the nose and ears and on the following day Dr. GRIFFING was called to attend him.  The
physician was not told of the assault.
GALLAGHER was not at his saloon when Roundsman McCARTY called, but
subsequently went to the station and was locked up.  He said that McALLISTER
was in his saloon on the 28th ult. and was ejected for using abusive 
language.  He returned and attempted to strike GALLAGHER with a cotton hook, and the
latter then struck him on the arm with a club several times.  He denied that
he struck McALLISTER on the head.
Last night the injured man sank rapidly and his death is hourly expected from
concussion of the brain.  His ante-mortem statement was taken by Coroner 
KELLAR as follows:
I believe I will die.  I was struck Tuesday, a week ago by GALLAGHER, who
keeps a liquor store at Front and Main streets, with a club on my head.  I 
went in there and some Italians called me names.  I was going to strike the 
Italians  and GALLAGHER struck me.

I understand he's going to run away and I want you to arrest him.  His

place last Tuesday."
An officer was dispatched to find RUSSELL and while he was absent the
second wife appeared.  While the two were engaged in conversation the
officer returned with RUSSELL.  He said he was 24 years of age, and was
shipping clerk for a New York firm.
When the little woman saw him she shouted:  "Oh, you wretch.  You won't

"Is this woman your wife?" asked the sergeant of RUSSELL.
Why, no.  I don't know her.  I never married her.  I danced with her at a 
ball once."
Here Mrs. Russell No. 2 burst into tears and the first wife produced a note

STYLES went out with the children.  At the door, Mr. HARDING caught up
to them and tried to take the little ones away with him.
Both children screamed.  "Oh, auntie!  I don't want to go with papa," cried
the girl.
"Oh, papa, papa, papa, don't," said the little boy in a tight clinging to the
bannisters.  The father gritted his teeth, and grasping an arm of each child,
tried to drag them downstairs.  An excited crowd gathered about him.
"Leave the children alone," said Mrs. ROMAIN.  "See how frightened they
are of him."
"They are my children and they shall come with me," persisted HARDING.
The screaming and struggling continued and every person in Court jumped
to his feet and ran to the door, where the greatest excitement prevailed,
and a surging crowd had gathered about the contestants.
Some of the men interposed and pushed Mr. HARDING back.
He turned away sullenly, seeing that all were against him, and said, as he
re-entered the court room:  "I want those children and will have them if I 
have to go to law for them."
"You shan't have them," replied Mrs. ROMAIN, "I'll go to the State Prison
before I'll give them up."
The children, who had almost gone into fits, reassured by the departure of
their father, hastened quietly away with Mrs. ROMAIN.

THE GOSLING SHOOTING
The Victim Worse - The Mystery Deepens
MRS. LIZZIE GOSLING, of 168 North Fourth street, who was shot in New York
by EDWARD LEVINE last Tuesday night and was taken subsequently to
St. Catharine's Hospital, was worse last evening, and Detective SHORT, of
the Fifth Precinct, went to New York and arrested LEVINE.  Mrs. GOSLING
still declares the affair was an accident but it now transpires that she was
undressed when the shooting occurred.  LEVINE is married.  Both his wife
and Mrs. GOSLING were waitresses at a Bowery saloon.  There is believed
to be an unfathomed mystery in the case.

(29 December 1882)
STILL A MYSTERY
The shooting of LIZZIE GOSLING - What She Told Her Sister and
Why Her Father Believes It was "a Put Up Job."
The mystery concerning the shooting of LIZZIE GOSLING in a Third street,
New York, house on Tuesday night last, grows deeper with each additional
statement that is made.  A sister of the injured woman last night told a
reporter of the Union-Argus that LIZZIE yesterday said that when the shooting
occurred she sat at a table resting her head on her hand.  LEVINE was
intoxicated and the woman with whom he lives, but to whom he is not married,
was also under the influence of liquor.  The latter was in delicate health and
just before the shooting had quarreled with LIZZIE.  LEVINE, the latter says,
pulled the pistol from his pocket and laid it on the table with the remark 
that he must unload it as his "wife" did not know how to handle it and might
shoot herself.  He picked it up again and while tumbling with it the weapon 
was discharged, the ball entering LIZZIE's left shoulder. The latter had her back
towards LEVINE at that time.  The LEVINE woman has said that LIZZIE was
in her underclothing when the shooting took place, and that statement is borne
out by the fact that when LIZZIE went to the Fifth Precinct Police Station on
Tuesday night there was no hole in the waist of her dress.  Detective MARTIN
SHORT, however, said last night that LIZZIE yesterday wore the same dress in
the hospital and that there was a hole in it at the place where the bullet
entered, but that it looked more like a scissors cut than anything else.
LIZZIE's husband is a variety actor and is known on the stage as BARNEY
MACK.  He has not lived with his wife for a long time, but a few days ago
sent her a letter in which he stated that he was confined in the Columbus,
Ohio, prison, having been sentenced for six months.  The envelope, however,
bore the Cincinnati postmark, and on that account LIZZIE's father think its
contents untrue. 
The latter blames GOSLING for the affair and alleges that he put up a job 
with LEVINE to have the latter, with whom he was intimate, shoot LIZZIE.  
GOSLING is a Hebrew and after his marriage to LIZZIE his father wanted 
the latter to sue him for divorce and she refused to do that asked her to 
live with relatives and said that he would pat $4 a week for her board.  She 
acceded to this, but he did not carry out his part of the agreement.  
GOSLING, LIZZIE's father alleges, put her in a Bowery concert Saloon, 
where she was employed as a waitress up to the time of the shooting, to 
support him.  He claims that his daughter was enticed from home by the 
LEVINE woman, and is very bitter in his denunciation of her and LIZZIE's 
husband while he says but little about LEVINE.  The injured woman's condition 
last night was improved and her recovery is more than probable although 
the bullet has not yet been found.  LEVINE is still held by the New York 
police, being unable to procure bail.

A WICKED FLING
An Italian's Skull Fractured by an Irish Woman.
ANTONIO DABSCARELL, an Italian, who lives at No. 68 Adams street,
formerly had charge of the tenements in the neighborhood to which he
resides, but was superseded by another Italian who lives with a woman
named Margaret McNALLY, who is know a "SORE-EYED MAG".
This created ill feelings and frequent quarrels have been the result.  A
week ago Margaret was arrested for setting fire to a quantity of rags
belonging to DABSCARELL, but the case was dismissed.  Last night,
the quarrel was renewed and Margaret, it is alleged by witnesses who
claim to have seen her, threw a stone through the window of the DABSCARELL
apartments, striking him on the forehead and fracturing his skull.  Margaret
was arrested and DABSCARELL was removed to the Homoeopathic Hospital.

REFORM IN FUNERALS
To the Editor of the Union-Argus
Having lived in Brooklyn about forty-five years, I have had a fair 
opportunity ofobserving the shameful waste and foolish custom of families 
in the matter of burying their dead, namely:  A great line of carriages, 
flowers and all sorts of extravagance, that not more than one out of 
a thousand can indulge in without running into debt.  Recently I 
attended the funeral services of the widow of an old friend.  
Services were held in the evening at the house.  After the friends 
and relatives had taken their places in the large parlors, the minister 
opened the services by one of the sweetest and most affectionate prayers, 
unwritten, and not printed in a book, but a simple, loving, childlike 
cry to the great God for a blessing upon the company assembled and 
especially upon those who were so near to the beloved dead.  
The Word of God was read.  Selections that not only indicated tenderness 
and appreciation of the occasion, but which carried the conviction to 
every mind and heart of intelligence of the man of God.  And then came 
tender words to the entire company, throwing out sparks of teaching here 
and there, carrying with every utterance a perfect blaze of light, and 
when words of comfort were addressed to the relatives of the departed there 
seemed to be a hush of solemnity that conveyed the power of God to every 
hearer with such power that no one could justly accuse the
blessed Father with harshness.  In short, the whole service was wonderfully
grand and consoling.  The next morning the remains were taken to Greenwood
and deposited, accompanied only by those very near to the beloved dead. 
There was no confusion, no noise, no satisfying of pride.  Can't we have 
reform in funerals and learn the way by the new departure I have described.
                               E.C.B.
