Charles E EBERHARDT
In the death on Wednesday afternoon of Charles E EBERHARDT, German 
society circles in Brooklyn lost one of their most picturesque figures. 
 He was one of the organizers of the Hessercher Singing Society, the 
members of which are descendants of the first Germans who came to 
America.  He was the only man in the association who was a veteran of 
the civil war.  At a meeting, many years ago, of this society with a 
number of others, a resolution was passed that on all occasions when the 
flag of the United States was displayed beside that of the banner of the 
society, it would be held by EBERHARDT.  That rule has never been 
broken.  At receptions, parades, outings and other occasions,  EBERHARDT 
and the America banner were inseparable.  He was 71 years old and had a 
coffee and tea business at 578 Broadway.  He came to the country 57 
years ago.  He belonged to the Germain Metternich Post, G.A.R.  A widow, 
one daughter and three sons survive him.  The funeral will be held 
to-morrow afternoon at 1 o'clock from Ritting's Hall, 243 Floyd street, 
where the German organizations meet.  It is expected that the funeral 
will be largely attended by the friends of Mr. EBERHARDT.  The 
arrangements are in charge of William RANZWELIER, of 692 Flushing avenue.

Prof. F.F.L. BOYLE
There died yesterday at the home of his brother-in-law, Charles E. 
SATTERLEE, 102 Park place, Prof. Ferdinand F. Lee BOYLE, an eminent 
artist of earlier times, who painted portraits of such distinguished 
persons as Charles DICKENS, Edwin FORREST, Charlotte CHSHMAN, Lester 
WALLACK and Gen. GRANT. Heart failure was the cause of his death.
Born in Ringwood, Hampshire, Eng., eighty-seven years ago, and brought 
here when a child. Prof. BOYLE, as he afterward became, first studied 
art under Henry INMAN. In 1836 he became a member of the National 
Academy of Design and in 1850 was elected an associate of that institution.
Five years afterward he went to St. Louis, where he organized and became 
vice-president of the Western Academy of Art. In that city he painted an 
allegorical picture of "Young Missouri," which has become historic.
At the outbreak of the Civil War Prof. BOYLE laid down his brush for the 
musket. Ardent for union, he was elected colonel of the Fourth Missouri 
enrolled militia, and in 1865 he was mustered out as a brevet brigadier 
general. He was Director of Fine Arts in the Sanitary Fair in St. Louis 
in 1??4, and painted the portrait of Senator Thomas H. DENTON which 
hangs in the gallery of the Missouri Historical Society.
Returning to New York in 1866, Prof. BOYLE opened a studio in Wood's 
Museum Building, at Thirtieth street and Broadway. There he painted the 
portraits of DICHENS, Archbishop BAILEY of New Jersey, and other 
well-known men. In 1871, he moved to the old Brooklyn Institute 
Building, in Washington street. He was then made a professor of fine 
arts, a position which he held until 1890. Among other works executed 
about this time were the portraits of GRANT, and equestrian portrait of 
Alexander McCULLOM, which hangs in the armor of Troop A, Manhattan, and 
"The Prayer of Judith," which was exhibited in the Centennial Exposition 
in Philadelphia in 1876.
Prof. BOYLE was an intimate friend of Samuel F.B. MORSE, who was also an 
artist in his early days, and was in his studio when MORSE demonstrated 
to Washington IRVING with about a mile of wire the practicability of the 
telegraph instrument, whereupon IRVING remarked that it was a "shame 
that such a good artist should waste his time with such a toy." Forty 
years ago Prof. BOYLE spent much time experimenting with devices for a 
flying machine, but he abandoned this project.
Among his other varied experiences Prof. BOYLE was fond of telling how 
he was present at a lecture in New York in 18??, when it was intended to 
demonstrate that steamships were practicable for river traffic, but 
never could cross the Atlantic, and how as he and his friends emerged 
from the hall, they were greeted with the news of the Great Western from 
Bristol and the Sirius from Cork, on that same day, the first vessels 
that had made the voyage under their own steam. Prof. BOYLE in 1851 
married Katherine, daughter of John Rathbone SATTERLEE. She died in 
1888. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. John M LORETZ, of Brooklyn 
and Mrs. Edward D ABEL, of Baldwin. His funeral will be held Wednesday

between Ralph and Howard avenues.  The dead are:
     Minnie NEINESTED, 40 years old sister of Mrs. NEINESTED, suffocated 
and died later of fright.
     Francis NEINESTED, 2 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. NEINESTED, 
burned to a crisp.
     Mrs. NEINESTED was badly cut about the wrists while smashing in the 
windows to rescue her  three other children, Frederick 4½ years; 
Josephine 3 years; and Bernard 2 years.  Mr. and Mrs. DORAN, relatives 
of the stricken family, who live a few doors away at 125 Sumpter street, 
were both burned about the face and had their hair singed in dashing 
into the burning building to save the children.
     The cause of the fire is unknown.  At 10:30 as Mrs. NEINESTED went 
out in front of the house for a moment, she was surprised to see a sheet 
of flame leap out of the basement window.  She screamed, and alarmed the 
neighbors, one of whom turned in an alarm.  Then she rushed back, but 
the basement door had become latched, and she had to beat the window 
panes in with her bare hands.  Mrs. DORAN, looking out of her window 
down the street saw her sister-in-law's dwelling on fire, and with her 
husband, rushed to assist Mrs. NEINESTED.
     Three of the children were gotten out safely.  Little Francis, the 
latest arrival in the NEINESTED home, who had been lying asleep in his 
carriage, near the stove, was beyond rescue.  The carriage was in flames 
and in a few moments the little body was a cinder.
     Meanwhile the sister of the Mrs. NEINESTED, Minnie, who is said to 
have been mildly demented and childlike, must have been suffocated, for 
she rushed blindly out of the rear door into the back yard, where her 
body was found later in an out-house.  Ambulance surgeon KNOPF, of the 
Bushwick Hospital, said that her nostrils were burned and her hair was gone.
     The bodies of the baby and the sister of Mrs. NEINESTED were taken 
to a house in the rear, where they awaited the permission of the Coroner 
to be transferred to the undertaking establishment of Charles LUNDGRAFF 
around the corner on Ralph avenue.  Mrs. NEINESTED was carried to the 
home of her brother.  Her wrist was bandaged but she continued to moan.
     Soon her little son Freddie was brought in to her and he place his 
cheek against that of his mother.  "Are you going to buy another baby, 
momma?" he sobbed.
     The mother groaned aloud and had to be comforted.
     "Where is baby?" persisted little Freddie.
     "He's gone next door," ventured Mrs. DORAN.
     Mr. NEINESTED, who is a conductor on the Reid avenue line, had left 
home when the fire started.  When he was notified of what had taken 
place he broke down.  There was no insurance on the home.  The entire 
house was gutted from basement to roof.

by his painstaking work in connection with the rehabilitation of the 
tree immense dry docks in use at the yard.  He had experienced fifteen 
years continuous service at the yard preceding his partial retirement 
and he put aside his active ? as a naval land engineer of the first

by him as a result of careful research and study.  This dry dock is now 
in course of completion.  On May 27, 1862, he entered the United States

ability to the foremost relative rank in the department.  He instituted 
improvements at the Norfolk navy yard that were lasting and of 
incalculable benefit and while detailed there was frequently known to 
don a diver's suite and make inspection of work under water.  He did not

honorable discharge from the navy and retired to private life to study

Three Bodies Shipped to Brooklyn in Soap Box
Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec 7 - The bodies of Joseph W. VANGILDER, who died 
here Dec 4, 1900, and his two children Louis, who died Oct 7, 1880 and 
Francis, who died Oct 24, 1878 were exhumed from a local cemetery to-day 
and shipped to Brooklyn, N.Y. where relatives now live and where the 
remains will be buried.  Upon exhuming the bodies it was found that the 
bones of all three would easily go into a small soap box.  In order to 
do this the undertaker obtained special permission from the Health 
Department.  The three bodies were shipped together.

Son's Dead Body instead of Present
   It is thought that William ARDLEY, 25 years of age, who was buried 
form his mother's home at 360 Twelfth street yesterday morning, was 
foully murdered in Nashville, Tenn., for the money that he is known to 
have had on his person.
     ARDLEY left his home in Brooklyn some months ago and went to 
Atlanta, Ga., where he worked as a clerk.  From there he went to 
Nashville, having secured a better position, and saved money.  He wrote 
to his mother that he would return to her Thanksgiving Day and that he 
would bring home a Christmas present of $100 with him for her.  He said 
he always carried the money with him.
     On Thanksgiving Day instead of receiving her beloved son, who was 
her sole support and the only living relative she had, the anxious 
mother received word from some unknown person in Nashville that her son 
had been killed by a fall down stairs.  An undertaker of Nashville sent 
the body here and the mother had it brought to her home Wednesday night, 
thinking her boy had met death as stated in the dispatch.
      The undertaker whom she employed told the Rev. Dr. Wellesly W. 
BOWDISH, pastor of the Sixth Avenue Methodist Church, of which church 
Mrs. ARDLEY was a member, that he thought the boy was murdered.
     Dr. BOWDISH is interesting himself in the case and has written to 
the Mayor of Nashville, requesting details on the young man's death and 
asking if there had been a Coroner's inquest on the body.
     Dispatches from Nashville state that a man has been arrested as 
knowing something about the death of ARDLEY and that he has implicated 
two other men.
     The fact that her boy was murdered has not as yet been made known 
to Mrs. ARDLEY.

Death Ends Strange 18-year Courtship
     It was learned to-day that Barclay WARD, who died at his country 
home in Huntington last Wednesday, had made all preparations to marry 
Miss Louise McALLISTER, daughter of the late Ward McALLISTER.  It was 
learned also that the couple had been engaged for eighteen years, and 
that it was only through the persuasion of Miss McALLISTER that the 
ceremony was delayed.
     When Mr. WARD was taken ill a short time ago he sent for Miss 
McALLISTER.  The civil marriage contract had in the meantime been drawn 
up.  Miss McALLISTER is 50 years old.  She insisted that before the 
ceremony take place a legal document be drawn up in which she would 
waive all her dower rights to the estate of Mr. WARD.  She left the 
house that evening for her home in Manhattan to think matters over, the 
ceremony not having taken place.  Mr. WARD died a few hours later.

Kills Brother in Duel Over a Girl
   Over the love of pretty Rosie FERRARA, of 51 Havemeyer street, two 
brothers locked themselves in a room at 49 Havemeyer street and fought a 
duel which resulted in the death of Andrew FRANZESE, who was stabbed 
twice in the groin by Raeffele FRANZESE, who escaped.
     Andrew and Rosie had long been sweethearts.  Lately Andrew 
suspected that she had another sweetheart.  Two weeks ago he was ill and 
was unable to accompany her to a ball.  He learned through friends that 
she went to the ball and that his own brother Raeffele had been her 
escort.  So ardently did Raeffele woo that he won her affections.  She 
began to treat Andrew coldly and he brooded over the change.
     The climax came last night when Andrew found a letter addressed to 
his brother from his former sweetheart.  He denounced his brother and 
accused him of stealing his girl.  Becoming infuriated at the suave 
manner of Raeffele, he ran to the door and locked it, at the same time 
drawing a stiletto.  Raeffele was just a s quick with his knife and they 
fought a duel to the death.
     It was all over in a few minutes, and as Andrew fell to the floor 
dying, Raeffele made his escape by climbing down the fire escape at the 
rear of the house.  He has not been arrested.
     Four witnesses of the murder were later arrested and this morning 
were taken before Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM in the Lee avenue court.  They 
are Salvatore, 56 years old, father of the murdered boy, Joseph and 
Petro MARRONE, both boarders in the house, and Jacob FRANZES, 15 years 
old, a younger brother of the murdered boy.
     Through an interpreter the father of the dead boy said his son had 
been murdered by Raeffele FRANZES, another son.  All the witnesses were 
held in $500 bail for a further hearing to-morrow.

To Die in Surf - Young Woman Jumps to Death in Sea From Jett at Brighton 
Beach - Two Men go in After Her - Worry Over Father's Death Drove her 
Insane.
     Driven insane by an affection of the nerves for which she had been 
under the care of specialists, Miss Ethel MACROBERTS, 24 years old, who 
lived with her mother and her brother, William A. MACROBERTS, at 218 
Martense street, Flatbush, escaped from the Aubrey Vaughan Institute, a 
private sanitarium in Jefferson, near Marcy avenue, yesterday afternoon, 
and going to Coney Island on a trolley car, leaped into the surf from 
the top of a jetty at Brighton Beach, near the Parkway Baths.
     Thomas CLARE and William COHEN, both of Ocean Parkway and Sea 
Breeze avenue, nearby, were on the boardwalk near the baths when they 
were attracted by the woman's screams.  Stepping to the railing, which 
overlooks the surf, they saw Miss MACROBERTS struggling in the water.  
They hurried along the walk to the beach, wading out waist-deep in the 
rough water to drag the woman ashore.  By this time her cries has 
ceased, the ocean breakers having hurled her violently against the 
timers of the jetty several times before the men could reach her.  Life 
was apparently extinct when the body was taken out of the water.
     An ambulance surgeon was summoned.  He said she was dead and the 
body was removed in a patrol wagon to the Sheepshead Bay police 
station.  Mrs. MACROBERTS her son were notified of the young woman's 
suicide and they made arrangements to take charge of the remains.
     On Tuesday last Mrs. MACROBERTS took her daughter to the office of 
Dr. J.A. VAUGHAN, at 91 Halsey street, for treatment, and on Wednesday 
she was placed in the sanitarium.  She required close watching, for 
during the past two years she had threatened to end her life.  Several 
months ago Miss MACROBERTS gave her mother a shock by suddenly leaving 
the house and taking a Smith street trolley car straight to Brighton 
Beach, calmly prepared to carry out her treat.  Mrs. MACROBERTS hurried 
to the Island on the next car, overtook her daughter and brought her home.
     Miss MACROBERTS was formerly a saleswoman in a big Fulton street 
store.  She is said to have worried greatly over the death of her 
father, William MACROBERTS, who died about two years ago, and this 
served to seriously aggravate her nervous trouble.  Mr. MACROBERTS was 
for more than twenty years an accountant in the employs of the New York, 
New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
     The police of the Flatbush station were preparing at the request of 
the gamily to send out a general alarm for her as a missing person when 
the news of her suicide was received.

WOMAN PERISHES IN LAMP EXPLOSION
GIRL WHO RUSHES TO RESCUE AT RISK OF LIFE IS BADLY BURNED.
AID COMES TOO LATE.-EARLY MORNING FATALITY IN A DEAN STREET HOME.
Mrs. Matilda SMITH, a widow, 76 years old, who lived with the family of Mrs. 
Jeremiah LONG, at 833 Dean street, was burned to death early to-day when the 
lamp which she was carrying exploded and ignited her nightclothes. She was 
horribly burned and died before medical help could be summoned.
Mrs. SMITH, since the death, some years ago of her husband, Lawrence, who was 
in the tobacco business in the Ninth Ward, had made her home with the LONG 
family. She slept in the front room in the basement. It was a habit of Mrs. 
SMITH when she went to the bathroom during the night to light a small lamp 
and carry it with her. The bathroom is in the rear of the basement.
Early this morning May LONG, 21 years old, who sleeps on the second floor, 
smelt smoke and then heard Mrs. SMITH groaning.
Without waiting to dress, the young woman rushed downstairs, and as she 
reached the lower hall she saw Mrs. SMITH running about enveloped in flames.
Miss LONG ran up to Mrs. SMITH, and although she was clad only in a nightgown 
herself tried with this flimsy garment to smother the flames that were 
burning the elder lady to death.
The screams of the two women aroused the household, and Miss LONG'S two 
brothers, John and Tom, came bounding down the stairs. John secured a 
blanket, and, wrapping it around Mrs. SMITH, he rolled her on the floor and 
put out the flames, but by this time the woman's sufferings were over. She 
was unconscious.
The brothers summoned Dr. SHARP from St. John's Hospital; but when the doctor 
arrived he said the woman was dead. She was burned to a crisp, and her hair 
was completely burned from her head. Miss LONG was badly burned about the 
hands and her hair was singed. Her brothers, Tom and John were also burned 
about the feet and hands.
The dead woman had two sons, James and John, but the Long family do not know 
where they live.

WOMAN DEAD
One woman is dead and two men are in a serious condition this morning as a 
result of accidental gas poisoning.
Rosie DOUGHERTY, a servant employed in the family of John McGOVERN at 1411 
Bedford avenue, was found unconscious in her bed this morning and when Dr. 
Murphy of 620 St. Marks avenue arrived, she was dead. 

BOY LOSES HIS LIFE STEALING RIDE IN CAR
As the result, it is alleged, of stealing rides on cars about the Halsey 
street car barns in Halsey street near Broadway Jacob NEWMAN, 7 years old of 
1586 Broadway, was run over there yesterday afternoon and so badly mangled 
that he died in a few minutes. The boy, with a number of others is said to 
have jumped off one car into the path of the car that ran over him. Young 
NEWMAN was not as quick as the others in getting out of the way and was 
struck.Motorman Walter J. ANDERSON, whose car ran down the boy, was arrested for 
homicide and was held in the Gates avenue court to-day for examination.

SEARCHING FOR MASSA'S SLAYER
SHOT DOWN IN HIS SALOON IN ROW OVER PAYMENT FOR BOTTLE OF WINE
NOT OUTCOME OF THREATS.-SUSPECT RELEASED, BUT WITNESSES ARE HELD.
The police of the Bath Beach section are still looking for the slayer of 
Frank MASSA, a saloonkeeper, of Harway avenue and Bay Forty-sixth street, who 
was shot and killed at his place last night. To-day Detectives WAITE, SHEA 
and HEANEY arrested Antonio GRIMALDI, 46 years old, a saloonkeeper of 498 
Carroll street, on suspicion. He was taken before the widow of the murdered 
man who on seeing him at once said: "That is not the man."
Mrs. MASSA denied to-day that her husband was shot while celebrating a 
birthday party. It was not his birthday nor was there a celebration of any 
kind. Three men, she said, came into the back room of the saloon and ordered 
a bottle of wine, for which they refused to pay. There was an altercation 
when MASSA insisted on payment, and the quarrel ended by one of the men 
drawing a revolver and firing the fatal shot, after which all three ran out 
of the door and disappeared.
So far as any recent threats of the "Black-Hand" are concerned the police say 
they know of none and do not believe that the shooting was the outcome of 
such threats. They admit that last summer MASSA complained of receiving such 
letters and the police were instructed to watch the place. Nothing came of 
this, however.
As there appeared to be nothing against GRIMALDI so far as the shooting is 
concerned, he was released.
Lizzie COSTELLO, 25 years old, of Mermaid avenue, Coney Island, and Joseph 
MORRIS, 26 years old, of 20 Fulton street, who were detained last night as 
witnesses, are still held as they claim they would be able to identify the murderer.

QUINN, DEAD PRIEST, 'AN ARRANT FAKER'
DECLARED MAN FOUND DEAD WITH WOMAN WAS NEVER ADMITTED TO ORDERS.
WELL KNOWN IN BROOKLYN-FATHER McGOLDRICK ONE OF MANY HE TRIED TO TOUCH.
More than one Roman Catholic priest in Brooklyn has in the past come in 
personal contact with Charles S. QUINN, the priest who was found dead in a 
Manhattan boarding house with a woman. It was usually to their sorrow that 
any of the Brooklyn clergy encountered, QUINN, for he was a chronic borrower 
and seemingly had no scruples about the value of the paper he circulated for loans.
About two years ago QUINN called on the Rev. Father McGOLDRICK, of St. 
Michael's Church; Fourth avenue and Forty-second street, and, reminding him 
that both had been classmates for a brief period at All Hallows Seminary, 
Ireland, tried to convince Father McGOLDRICK that despite the latter's 
personal knowledge to the contrary, QUINN, had himself taken holy orders in Italy.
Father McGOLDRICK remembered that this self-made QUINN had been expelled from 
All Hallows after failing miserably in his earlier studies the reason given 
for this expulsion at the time being that his recommendations from the United 
States were unsatisfactory.
While at All Hallows QUINN had displayed a nimbleness of wit that 
disconcerted those in charge, and their measure of surprise was filled when 
they learned of an affair he was carrying on contrary to seminary rules with 
a young woman attached to one of the local charitable institutions, whom he 
claimed as a long lost sister.
QUINN was a penman of a very superior order and when he disappeared from the 
seminary town, leaving much bogus paper behind, the riddance was regarded by 
those in authority as cheap at the price.
To Father McGOLDRICK, QUINN is understood to have stated, when cornered and 
accused of misrepresentation, that he actually "given up the priesthood" and 
was aiming to begin life over again.
So far as Father McGOLDRICK is able to recall, QUINN represented himself as a 
resident of Syracuse, when he entered All Hallows. He never got so far even 
as minor orders in the church, it is claimed, and his reported performance of 
priestly functions at Atlantic Highlands, N. J., must have been permitted 
through his presentation of forged credentials, accredited to some American 
Bishop, Baptismals and marriages performed by QUINN have no standing in the 
church, and of course will be considered as lacking genuineness unless 
performed over again by a recognized priest.
Less than six months ago Father McGOLDRICK went to Philadelphia on a visit, 
while purchasing his ticket at the Pennsylvania depot he was surprised to 
find QUINN should not in any way be confronted with the Rev. Father Frank 
QUINN, of Syracuse, N.Y., as the latter is at present engaged in active 
church work in a southwestern town.

TWO RUNAWAYS ON E. D. BRIDGE KILLED BY GATE
During the hour when traffic on the Williamburg Bridge was most congested 
yesterday afternoon, two spectacular runaways occurred which proved the 
efficiency of the so-called "runaway gates" in preventing loss of life or 
wholesale injuries to the public. In both cases the horses were killed and 
the drivers badly injured.
The first victim was Isaac KRENDEL, 51 years old, of 189 Division street, 
who was driving a delivery wagon belonging to Israel SCHENEKER, a cigar 
manufacturer, of 342 Grand street, along the north roadway toward New York. 
On the seat with KRENDEL was his helper, Alexander BLOCH, of 63 East 122d street, 
Manhattan. The horse bolted when opposite Ridge street. KRENDEL struggled 
to regain control, but to no purpose. Policeman STODD signaled the gatetender 
at the Manhattan end of the bridge to stop the runaway. A second later
horse and wagon plunged into the gate at breakneck speed.
The horse was killed instantly and the wagon smashed to splinters. KRENDEL 
and BLOCH were hurried over the barrier and onto the roadway on the other 
side. Both were seriously injured. They were removed to Gouverneur Hospital.
About an hour later a horse, attached to the wagon of the Berlin Laundry Company, 
22 Heyward street, while crossing the north roadway, took fright at a ferry 
boat whistle and started off in a mad dash for Manhattan. Charles SWATBECK, 
19 years old, of 1607 Myrtle avenue, was the driver. The gate was again closed 
and the wagon wrecked. The horse was so badly injured that he had to be shot. 
SWATBECK was removed to Gouverneur Hospital, unconscious.
In each instance the streets were crowded at the time of the accident and only 
prompt action on the part of the gatetender prevented the certain loss of life, 
which would have resulted had the horses been permitted to reach the street.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES FOR LATE OLIVER P. CLARK
Memorial exercise in honor of Principal Oliver D. CLARK, who died on July 28, 
were held in the auditorium of the Boys' High School building last night, and 
eulogies of the dead teacher were listened to by an audience of nearly one 
hundred school teachers and former associates of the dead man.
Dr. Albert C. HALE, of the B. H. S. spoke of Mr. CLARK as "A Teacher," in 
part, as follows:
"As a teacher, he transmitted to those under his instruction his own 
clearness of analysis, directness in attack of salient points, and discreet 
use of commanding forces, in so far as these could be developed in the pupils 
by his example, personal influence and inspiration. Those pupils who did not 
care so much for the subject he taught as for other subjects in the 
curriculum, nevertheless, acquired a respect for him as a teacher and as a 
man. We all know how easy it is for a pupil to remark impulsively. 'I don't 
like that subject! I don't like that teacher!' But whatever a pupil may have 
though of the subject Mr. CLARK  taught, I do not recall learning of a single 
instance in which one ever said of him, 'I don't like the teacher.' "
The exercises were opened by a reading of the scriptures by Dr. William L. 
FELTER, of the Girls' High School, and the other speakers were Supt. Darwin 
L. BARDWELL who spoke of Mr. CLARK  "As a Principal;" the Rev. R. H. CARSON, 
pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, spoke of him as "A Citizen and 
Neighbor," and Meier STEINBRINK spoke on behalf of the B. H. S. alumni. 
District Supt. Charles W. LYON read an original poem to the memory of Mr. 
CLARK entitled "In memoriam." Musical numbers were given by William Howell EDWARDS.
Mr. CLARK was the principal of the Curtis High School in Richmond, Va., at 
the time of his death where he had gone after serving for fourteen years as 
professor of biologic science at the B. H. S. He went to Richmond in 1904.
A bronze memorial tablet is to be placed in the main corridor of the Boys' 
High School by the Brooklyn Teachers' Association, "In order that those that 
come after us may know what Mr. CLARK has done for the Brooklyn teachers," 
said President Best of the Association.
Mrs. Ruth T. GRANGER spoke in behalf of the Brooklyn Teachers' Association 
and made some pointed remarks saying, in part: "It seems to me we should 
remember some of these things done for the good of our Association before the 
party who does them ceases to exist and not wait till after death to give the praise."

ARREST WIFE FOR KILLING HER HUSBAND
GREENWICH, CONN., WOMAN CAUGHT IN MANHATTAN, SWOONS WHEN INFORMED OF CHARGES.
FLED FROM HOTEL AFTER MAN'S DEATH.
STAB UNDER EYE HAD PUNCTURED HIS BRAIN.
Accused of the murder of her husband on Friday night in Greenwich, Conn., 
Mrs. Catherine NEIL a pretty blonde 26, years old, collapsed last night in 
the Tombs, Manhattan, and was sent to Bellevue Hospital. As soon as she 
recovers she will be extradited. She was arrested by Central Office 
detectives at the home of her sister, at 185 East ninety-fifth street, 
Manhattan, last night, and swooned when the nature of the charge against her 
was made known.
Willis A. RICH, of Greenwich, last night told the following story of the 
alleged murder:
"The woman comes from New Rochelle, where John NEIL met her. They lived in a 
Greenwich hotel for a time. NEIL was a prosperous blacksmith. On Friday night 
the two went to their room, and at 10 o'clock word was sent up asking if they 
wanted any refreshments. Mrs. NEIL said she didn't, as her husband had been 
suddenly taken ill.
"Fifteen minutes later she came down in great distress and asked for a 
doctor. When one was summoned he found that NEIL was dying. A small puncture 
was found under one eye. When this was closely examined it developed the fact 
that it had been made with some sharp instrument. The brain had been touched, 
resulting in the man's death within a few minutes after the doctor's arrival.
"That night Mrs. NEIL hurried to the station, taking a late train for New 
York. She left word that she was going to her sister's house. She got away 
before police officials could detain her." 
It was said that the NEILS had seemed to have been happy together.

HIS DEATH ACCIDENTAL, ACCUSED WIFE DECLARES
NEIL FELL WHILE DRUNK, SHE SAYS, AND RECEIVED FATAL INJURIES.
Mrs.Catherine NEIL, the young woman who is accused of the murder of her 
husband, John NEIL, which occurred last Friday night in Greenwich, Conn., and 
who was arrested in Manhattan on Saturday by Central Office detectives at the 
home of her sister, 180 East Ninety-fifth street, was brought before 
Magistrate BREEN, in the Tombs court, this morning. She is to be held for 
forty-eight hours in order to enable the Connecticut officials to secure 
extradition papers, when she will be removed to Greenwich.
Mrs. NEIL was emphatic in her statements that the death of her husband was 
entirely accidental and that, she was not in any way responsible for it. She 
said that her husband was a heavy drinker and on the night of his death he 
had returned to the hotel, where they had apartments, intoxicated. He entered 
the room, so she said, and staggered about so that she attempted to hold him 
up and assist him to a chair. In so doing his weight and helpless condition 
caused her to fall. Her husband fell, too, and sustained injuries on the head 
and face that result in his sudden death, she said.
The accused woman was in a highly excited state when she left the courtroom, 
and had to be assisted by court attendants. As she was being assisted over 
the Bridge of Sighs, she collapsed. She was carried to her cell where she was 
soon revived by the prison physician.

of a blood vessel in the brain was given as the cause of death. She says that

head by an attendant with a bunch of keys and pounded in the stomach by 
another attendant until he lost consciousness. She alleges on of the keepers

make him remain in bed at night, his relatives assert, made him such a burden 
that the attendants wanted to be rid of him.
